[Wuxia] The List of Peerless Beauties of the Jiangshan [Complete] - 18

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Monster

However, in the following days, Ye Feng and Li Yin found no clues about the mysterious masked man and the shipment, so they had to put the matter aside for the time being.

During these days, Ye Feng was busy opening the art gallery and tobacco company, as well as dealing with Ru Qing's efforts to develop supplies for the Spring Water Kingdom. In his spare time, he indulged in pleasure with Hua Yi, Li Yin, Ru Qing, Lin Su, and other women.

During this time, Li Yin and Ye Feng became increasingly close, and her relationship with Hua Yi also grew increasingly intimate. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could never reach the level of intimacy she had with Hua Yi before, let alone be intimate with her, which left Li Yin feeling somewhat disappointed.

In the past few days, a matter slowly began to circulate in the streets and alleys of Jade Moon City: the Spring Water Kingdom and Autumn Rhyme Kingdom intended to break away from the control of the Great Moon Kingdom and return to the embrace of the Orchid Kingdom.

Ye Feng knew that these two countries were geographically located between the Orchid Kingdom and the Great Moon Kingdom, and were both vassal states of the Great Moon Kingdom. Originally part of the Orchid Kingdom, it gained independence during the war between the Orchid Kingdom and the Great Yue Kingdom between 1450 and 1550 in the Continental Calendar. Later, it submitted to the Great Yue Kingdom, serving as a buffer zone between the two kingdoms. Ye

Feng had heard Li Huiwei mention this before when he was in Golden Moon City, and now hearing it again on the streets of Jade Moon City, he couldn't help but pay close attention.

That morning, Li Huiwei suddenly summoned Ye Feng to his residence. Upon arriving at the hall, Li Yin was also present. Upon seeing Ye Feng, Li Yin said, "Feng Lang, we are going to Spring Water Kingdom as envoys."

After Li Yin's explanation, Ye Feng learned that Li Huiwei had received a secret decree from the Great Yue King the previous night. According to reports from his spies, the intentions of Spring Water Kingdom and Autumn Rhyme Kingdom to break away from the Great Yue Kingdom's control and return to the Orchid Kingdom had been confirmed. This matter was extremely serious, and the Great Yue King had decided to urgently send envoys to these two countries to conduct diplomatic efforts; otherwise, war would be the only option.

Li Huiwei, as the military governor of Yuyue, governed territories bordering both Chunshui and Qiuyun kingdoms. Being geographically close and familiar with their situations, he was entrusted with this task by the Great Yue King, who instructed him to immediately send envoys to Chunshui and Qiuyun and to be prepared for war at any time.

Li Huiwei had already selected an envoy for Qiuyun, but given Chunshui's more strategic location, he planned to send Li Yin. Li Yin specifically requested that Ye Feng accompany him.

After some discussion, the matter was settled, and they would depart early the next morning. Li Yin also briefly introduced Chunshui to Ye Feng. From Li Yin, Ye Feng was surprised to learn that the country had a large number of non-human races and a peculiar marriage system, practicing polyandry, which left Ye Feng stunned for a moment.

Back at Tingyu Courtyard, Ye Feng gathered the women to discuss the matter. Hearing that Ye Feng was going on another mission, Hua Yi and Yang Yi were heartbroken. Their previous separation had already caused them immense pain, and now this parting was even more painful. Yang Yi wept uncontrollably, and Ye Feng could only offer words of comfort.

Ru Qing pondered for a while before saying she wanted to go with Ye Feng, explaining that she wanted to go to Chunshui Kingdom to check on fabric supplies, as their family's stock was dwindling, and this opportunity would be perfect for securing a new batch. Lin Su also said she lacked inspiration for her new garden design and wanted to learn from Chunshui Kingdom, also wanting to go with Ye Feng. Ye Feng reluctantly agreed.

Later, Zhao Bai arrived, saying that furniture materials were cheaper in Chunshui Kingdom, and he also wanted to check there to see if he could open up a new source of supply. Sun Mei had initially wanted to go as well, but after Ye Feng and Zhao Bai's strong persuasion, and because the shops in Yuyue City needed her, she gave up the idea.

And so, the matter was settled.

That evening, Ye Feng hosted a family banquet, inviting everyone. Besides all of Ye Feng's women, Li Huiwei, Zhao Bai, and Sun Mei were also present. The atmosphere was heavy with farewell. Although the dishes were plentiful, and Ye Feng and Li Huiwei frequently urged everyone to drink, no one could eat.

Li Yin took a sip of wine, her eyes darting around, and broke the somber mood. She smiled at Hua Yi and said, "By the way, Sister Yi, I've long heard of your exceptional singing and dancing skills, but I've never seen them before. Could you perform for us tonight and let us witness your talent? I'll accompany you on the music."

Li Huiwei chimed in, "Yes, yes, Xiao Yi, sing a song and let us see!" The others also egged her on, insisting that Hua Yi sing a song. Ye Feng smiled and nodded to Hua Yi. Hua Yi rose gracefully, smiling, and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll make a fool of myself."

"The sky is about to dawn, the palace clock ticks through the flowers, the sound lingers. Few stars shine through the window. Cold dew chills the curtains, the waning moon shines on the trees?"

Li Yin and Yang Yi began to play the pipa, and to the lingering sounds of the instruments, Hua Yi danced gracefully to the rhythm. The sweet and melodious song, accompanied by her unparalleled dance, was as free and gentle as water. Everyone, men and women alike, gazed at Hua Yi, mesmerized, unable to tear their eyes away.

Ye Feng stared blankly at Hua Yi, at this peerless beauty who belonged to him, a feeling of both sweetness and pain welling up inside him. Suddenly, he sensed someone staring intently at him. Turning his head, he saw Sun Mei not far away, gazing at him with an unusual tenderness in her eyes.

※※※

The next morning, Ye Feng, Li Yin, and their group of about two thousand people set off.

Hua Yi and the other women saw them off for a long way, offering warm words of comfort again and again. Only at Ye Feng's repeated insistence did they stop. The group slowly passed by them, and looking back, Hua Yi and the others appeared so frail in the distance.

Ye Feng forced himself to suppress his emotions and focus on the task at hand. However, what puzzled and disappointed him was that Sun Mei hadn't come to see Zhao Bai and Ye Feng off this morning. When he asked Zhao Bai, he only sighed and said, "She's not feeling well," and then fell silent.

Ye Feng, however, recalled the look in Sun Mei's eyes last night… that look… Suddenly, a thousand thoughts and a hundred feelings surged into his heart, and he fell silent.

The group traveled west from Yuyue City, passing through Yatian Prefecture, Anba County, Tangsu County, and Bolin Prefecture before arriving at Yuyue Pass. After passing through Houmao County after Yuyue Pass, they would enter the territory of the Spring Water Kingdom. The entire route was through the Jade Moon Mountains, traversing numerous basins and the Hengduan Mountains, making the journey quite arduous, with frequent mudslides and landslides.

Due to the influence of the Hengduan Mountains, the mountains were high and the valleys deep, with significant elevation changes; sometimes, one could experience all four seasons in a single day. The scenery along the way was magnificent, featuring snow-capped mountains, primeval forests, grasslands, glaciers, and more, leaving one in awe.

The closer they got to the Spring Water Kingdom, the more strange things appeared. For example, the number of alien races increased; Ye Feng often saw the kind of people with three hands, two heads, or eyes on their foreheads, or people with multicolored hair and skin that he had seen not long ago in Jade Moon City. As for the various strange animals and plants, they were countless, dazzling Ye Feng.

One day, when passing through Houmao County, something suddenly darted out of the forest, startling Ye Feng. This thing had a long neck and a tall, large body—it looked so much like a dinosaur he had seen in books before!

Just as Ye Feng was about to get a better look, he heard Li Yin's sexy and sweet voice in his ear: "Feng Lang, the Spring Water Kingdom is just ahead..."

※※※

"Oh, we've arrived at the Spring Water Kingdom?"

Ye Feng's spirits lifted. He forgot about the dinosaur-like thing and hurriedly looked ahead. He could vaguely see a mountain peak resembling a human head.

"Feng Lang, do you see it? That mountain that looks like a human head is called Four-Headed Mountain. After passing Four-Headed Mountain, we'll reach the Spring Water Kingdom."

Ye Feng stared intently, seeing that Four-Headed Mountain was majestic and precipitous, its shape remarkably similar to a human head. The mountain also resembled a graceful sleeping beauty, serene and tranquil. He couldn't help but praise it.

"I've also heard of it. After passing Four-Headed Mountain, we'll reach the Spring Water Kingdom. It's about half a day's journey."

Ru Qing, standing beside Ye Feng, also smiled.

“And there’s a beautiful folk tale about these four mountains,” Lin Su, standing behind Ru Qing, added with a smile.

“Oh, Su-mei, tell us about it,” Li Yin, who was in front of Lin Su, turned around and said affectionately, glancing at Ru Qing again.

Lin Su and Ru Qing blushed slightly when they met Li Yin’s burning gaze.

To be honest, both Lin Su and Ru Qing were a little afraid of Li Yin, afraid of her seemingly murderous gaze. Throughout the journey, Li Yin always seized every opportunity to touch Lin Su and Ru Qing inappropriately, making many gestures that shouldn’t be made between women, leaving them incredibly embarrassed.

Due to limited space, Ye Feng, Li Yin, Ru Qing, and Lin Su shared a tent at night. At this time, Li Yin was even more unrestrained, only refraining from making any moves when Ye Feng showed disapproval; otherwise, she would always hold them close and caress them.

While they were making love with Ye Feng, Li Yin would simultaneously caress and kiss them. Although they hadn't actually had intercourse, it already made them feel aroused and ashamed.

However, Li Yin usually took meticulous care of their lives, leaving them helpless and unable to retaliate. And their hateful husband didn't care, seemingly even enjoying watching it. Gradually, they became somewhat accustomed to Li Yin's unusual behavior.

After all, they were all sisters, all beloved wives of Ye Feng, and all women, so subconsciously they could accept such behavior. However, due to their female nature, they still felt shy when they met Li Yin's predatory gaze.

After a long while, Lin Su, under Li Yin's ardent gaze, began to speak softly.

"Legend has it that two hundred years ago..."

※※※

Listening to Lin Su's captivating voice and looking at the beautiful scenery around them, Ye Feng's thoughts drifted far away, lost in the exquisite atmosphere.

Before they knew it, in the afternoon, the group had crossed the Four-Headed Mountain and entered the territory of the Spring Water Kingdom.

Since the Spring Water Kingdom was a vassal state of the Great Yue Kingdom, there were no troops stationed on the border facing the Great Yue Kingdom, only an army of about ten thousand men stationed at a place called Shuizu Prefecture, which bordered the Great Yue Kingdom.

After entering the Spring Water Kingdom, strange things became even more abundant; all sorts of strange animals and plants were everywhere.

In this delegation led by Li Yin and Ye Feng, besides Li Yin and Ye Feng as the head and deputy head, there were several of Li Yin's capable deputies. As for Ru Qing, Lin Su, and Zhao Bai, they held private positions and were not considered members of the delegation. Lu Tianming, who had previously worked with Ye Feng, was also among them, clearly having earned Li Yin's favor due to his competence.

Liu Mingzhi and others accompanied Ye Feng as his subordinates. Gui Wuyan, under the pretext of going to the Spring Water Kingdom with Lin Su to seek knowledge, also joined the delegation.

Since their departure from Jade Moon City, the group had encountered numerous hardships and dangers along the way, mostly due to the weather and roads. They had also met with many bandits, but those bandits, especially Ye Feng and his companions, were simply unlucky and gained nothing. However, these vicious bandits posed a significant threat to legitimate merchants, which reminded Ye Feng of why other cloth merchants from the Great Yue Kingdom couldn't source their goods from the Spring Water Kingdom.

Zhao Bai, on the other hand, had been silent for several days after leaving Jade Moon City, seemingly lost in thought, only recently becoming talkative and displaying his extensive knowledge.

At this moment, he enthusiastically introduced the customs and culture of Chunshui Kingdom to Ye Feng and the others: "The name of Chunshui Kingdom comes from a river called Chunshui River in its capital, Rumeng City. Chunshui Kingdom has a long agricultural history and is a famous land of wheat and cotton. I'm most interested in furniture materials, and I've heard that they have a lot there. I hope I can return with a full load this time."

Ru Qing beside him smiled and said, "Look at Brother Zhao's beaming face,

he'll definitely have his wish fulfilled this time." Lin Su also chimed in, "I feel that the architecture of Chunshui Kingdom is also very distinctive. I'm going to Chunshui Kingdom specifically to learn from them, and I hope to gain a lot.

" Their conversation made Ye Feng feel very interested, but what he was more interested in was the marriage system of Chunshui Kingdom. He asked, "Other countries practice polygamy, so why is Chunshui Kingdom so strange, practicing polyandry?"

Upon hearing this, Ru Qing and Lin Su blushed, remaining shy and silent. Li Yin glanced at Ye Feng with a strange smile, but said nothing. Zhao Bai laughed and said, "Second brother seems quite interested in this... However, I'm not entirely sure about it either." Lu Tianming, who

had

been silently observing everyone, smiled and said, "It's no wonder Lord Ye is curious. The marriage system of Chunshui Kingdom is indeed very rare, unique throughout the entire continent. As far as I know, their polyandry system is mainly due to the following reason." "

Mainly because their productivity level is extremely low, and the common people are generally very poor. To prevent their meager property from being scattered after marriage due to discord among sisters-in-law, they must live together to preserve their family property. Therefore, if a family in Dayue Kingdom has four or five brothers who all share one wife, upon inquiry, they fear that too many sisters-in-law will lead to discord and the division of family property. This is the origin of the polyandry system." "

Furthermore, the upper class of Chunshui Kingdom takes pride in polyandry, especially since the kings of Chunshui Kingdom have always been queens, making this system even more stable."

"This...that..."

After a long pause, Ye Feng murmured, "This kind of thing is so hard to accept..."

Zhao Bai, Ru Qing, Lin Su, and others nodded repeatedly, finding this matter objectionable and incomprehensible.

Li Yin, however, had a somewhat envious expression on her face, but after glancing at Ye Feng, she also said, "Yes, this marriage system is too strange. Our marriage system in Dayue Kingdom is much better, Feng Lang, don't you think?" Ye

Feng secretly praised Li Yin for her thoughtfulness and smiled and nodded at her.

※※※

That night, the group set up camp by a small river. It was still snowing lightly, and everyone was very tired after a day's journey. So after dinner, they all went into their tents to rest.

In the middle of the night, Ye Feng was sleeping soundly with Li Yin and the other two women in his arms when a sudden noise startled him awake. Ye Feng sat up abruptly, and Li Yin, Ru Qing, and Lin Su, who were tightly entwined with him, were also immediately awakened.

Li Yin sat up and asked, "Feng Lang, what's wrong?"

Ye Feng said with a serious expression, "A Yin, listen."

Li Yin listened quietly for a while, then lowered her head to the ground. Suddenly, her expression changed drastically. She said, "There are many strange footsteps coming this way... This is bad... Get ready quickly..." The

group quickly dressed. Just then, a scream broke the silence of the night. A

series of screams followed, one after another. Someone yelled, "Monster! Monster!" The voice was filled with terror. It was a sentry from the Great Yue Kingdom in Li Yin's delegation. Then,

"Clang clang clang..." "Woo woo woo..." The Great Yue Kingdom sentries' alarm horns and gongs sounded repeatedly.

The camp was thrown into chaos.

"Monster...?"

Ye Feng and Li Yin were about to rush out of the tent to see what was happening when one of Li Yin's lieutenants rushed in, disheveled, and urgently reported to Li Yin, "My...My lord, something terrible has happened! There are monsters and assassins..."

Li Yin asked in a deep voice, "How many are there?"

The lieutenant replied, "In the darkness, we don't know how many there are. What should we do? Please give us your instructions, my lord. "

Li Yin commanded, "You will form groups of twenty, each taking cover and supporting each other. If you see any monsters or assassins, shoot them with your bows and arrows." The

lieutenant replied, "Yes..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly screamed "Ah!" and was thrown into the air. When he landed, his abdomen was a bloody mess—he had been disemboweled.

Amidst Lin Su's screams, something flashed out from the shadows. Before Ye Feng and the others could see what it was, Ye Feng suddenly felt a gust of wind rush towards him, and something resembling a claw swiftly slashed at his heart from the side.

Ye Feng reacted almost instinctively, dodging the attack with lightning speed, then striking the creature's head with a powerful blow, sending it tumbling away. However, it quickly scrambled to its feet and ran out of the tent.

Ye Feng and Li Yin rushed out of the tent, while Ru Qing followed behind, protecting Lin Su. As soon as they lifted the tent flap and looked in the light of the snow, Ye Feng and the others were stunned.

"Damn, what are these things...?"

Not far from Ye Feng and Li Yin, hordes of menacing monsters were charging into the tents with lightning speed, wreaking havoc and eliciting screams of agony.

Ye Feng saw that these monsters were as large as leopards, with long, hard tails on their backs, standing upright on their feet, their huge, sharp claws gleaming coldly, as sharp as knives, sending chills down

one's spine. These monsters were extremely agile, landing almost silently. Caught off guard, many Great Moon soldiers, still asleep, lost their lives. The remaining Great Moon soldiers, awakened by the commotion, were in complete chaos, running around like headsless chickens with their clothes disheveled.

"Velociraptor...?"

Ye Feng's mind flashed with images of velociraptors he had seen in books or movies before. How did they resemble these monsters?

"Don't panic, get back into formation,"

Li Yin shouted to the chaotic Great Moon soldiers.

At this moment, Li Yin's guards rushed forward, protecting Li Yin, Ye Feng, and the others. Liu Mingzhi, Zhao Bai, Gui Wuyan, Lu Tianming, and others also arrived, joining Ye Feng and Li Yin's group.

Li Yin then shouted to another lieutenant, "Liu Xiangxi, pass down the order: tell the soldiers not to panic. Form groups of twenty, take cover, and support each other. If they see any monsters, shoot them with arrows."

The lieutenant surnamed Liu obeyed and left.

Just then, seeing Ye Feng, Li Yin, and the others appear, several of the rampaging monsters turned their heads and glared at them. The eerie cold light in their eyes made the hairs on Ye Feng and the others stand on end.

"Clang!"

Ye Feng, Li Yin, Ru Qing, and the others drew their weapons simultaneously. At the same time, more than a dozen monsters pounced on Ye Feng and the others with a whoosh, their movements extremely swift.

Li Yin's guards immediately fired their arrows. Immediately, the whistling of arrows filled the air.

Moments later, screams of agony filled the air as Li Yin's guards fell one by one to the monsters' attacks.

These monsters were not only incredibly fast, but also possessed hardened scales on their backs, rendering them impervious to arrows. Furthermore, their attacks were bizarre.

When you stared at them, they stared back, but they didn't attack head-on. Just when you thought they were about to strike from the front, they would flank you with lightning speed, ripping you open with their sharp claws. Their long, hard tails could also transform into weapons in an instant, capable of shattering bones with a single sweep.

Many soldiers of the Great Yue Kingdom perished under these two attacks.

Soon, the monsters pounced on Ye Feng and his companions. The group hastily brandished their weapons and engaged in a fierce battle with the monsters.

A monster roared and pounced on Ye Feng. Ye Feng dodged to the side, and "Dragon Breaker" struck its back heavily.

The monster was sent tumbling, but it immediately got up again. Ye Feng's strike hadn't killed it, which was astonishing. Its eyes flashed with a cold light, and it suddenly leaped and pounced on Ye Feng again. In that instant, Ye Feng saw that the monster's belly was smooth, without the scales like on its back. In that lightning-fast moment, Ye Feng again dodged to the side and retreated, while "Dragon Breaker" swiftly sliced through the monster's abdomen. The monster let out a miserable roar and collapsed at Ye Feng's feet with a thud, its body still twitching.

Ye Feng was overjoyed. Seeing Li Yin, Zhao Bai, and the others in dire straits from the monsters' attacks, he shouted, "Attack their bellies! Attack their bellies!"

Just then, he heard Lin Su scream. Ye Feng turned and saw her and Ru Qing, who was protecting her, being pounced on by a monster. The monster's sharp claws were about to pierce Lin Su's heart.

Ye Feng was terrified. In that instant, his power surged to its peak. He leaped in front of Lin Su with lightning speed, unleashing a "Dragon Break" attack. With a clang, he barely blocked the monster's sharp claws. Then, with a swift slash, blood gushed from the monster's belly. It roared in agony and collapsed to the ground.

"Su-mei, are you alright? Are you alright..."

Having killed the monster, Ye Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly helped Lin Su up, asking anxiously. At this moment, Ru Qing also got up, holding Lin Su's hand

and asking with concern, "Sister, are you alright?" Li Yin, who was fighting the monster, also cast a concerned glance. Lin Su's expression was somewhat blank, as if she had been stunned by the earlier fright. It took her a while to come to her senses after Ye Feng and Ru Qing's calls. She cried out, "Brother..." and threw herself into Ye Feng's arms.

"It's alright, it's alright, it's alright. Brother will always be by your side, it's alright..." Ye Feng lovingly hugged Lin Su tighter.

Lin Su continued to cry, nodding repeatedly.

Ye Feng's heart eased slightly, and he asked Ru Qing with concern, "Sister Ru, how are you?"

Ru Qing gave him a reassuring smile and said, "Don't worry, Brother Feng, I'm fine."

Ye Feng nodded, but a surge of anger burned within him. He had almost lost his beloved wife, and if that had happened, he would have been heartbroken for the rest of his life.

"These beasts!" Ye Feng vented his rage on the monsters.

"Kill them all..."

Ye Feng suddenly stood up, his figure flashing. In a flash of cold light, several monsters had already fallen to his "Dragon Slayer." He then grabbed a powerful arrow and, with a "whoosh," shot another one dead.

"Shoot them in the abdomen!"

Li Yin, Zhao Bai, Liu Mingzhi, and the others, having found a way to fight the monsters with Ye Feng's guidance, now followed suit. Instantly ,

"whoosh! whoosh! whoosh..." The sharp sound of powerful arrows piercing the air was incessant. Under the rain of arrows, terrifying howls echoed endlessly as the monsters fell, arrows piercing their abdomens.

The monsters' advance was significantly slowed.

Meanwhile, Li Yin's soldiers, having recovered from their initial panic, followed Li Yin's orders, forming groups of twenty, flanking each other, and relentlessly firing arrows.

However, because the monsters were incredibly fast and agile, even though the soldiers knew their weak point was the abdomen, many were still pounced upon and killed. The screams of men and beasts, the whistling of arrows, rose and fell.

The battle reached a stalemate.

Suddenly, a piercing howl rang out, followed by countless torches lighting up the woods ahead, revealing a myriad of figures, each wielding a gleaming weapon.

Even more terrifying was the sight of a thousand or so menacing monsters standing before the figure. Each had a long, upright tail, like a sword about to be drawn, poised to pounce, their imposing presence awe-inspiring.

Among this horde stood a monster king, almost twice the size of the others, surrounded by its horde. Its eyes, sharp as steel cones, radiated a fierce and arrogant kingly aura, chilling to the bone. The attacking

monsters ceased their assault, retreating back into the ranks and automatically forming a defensive line.

Ye Feng, Li Yin, and the others felt their hearts sink. They hadn't expected to be ambushed. Could it be that today…?

Suddenly, a woman's voice, seemingly from the figure's direction, issued a command in an unknown language. Then, the monster king let out a piercing, chilling howl, its eerie sound echoing in the darkness.

The Monster King roared, followed by the howls of countless beasts, a sound and an aura that chilled the heart.

Ye Feng, Li Yin, and the others knew a bloody battle was imminent, gripping their weapons tightly. A sense of despair crept into their hearts. So many monsters, so powerful—could they possibly kill them all? Against such monsters, even the highest martial arts skills would be useless. Besides, who knew how many armies were behind them? Even if they could wipe out the monsters, what energy would they have left to deal with the ruthless, unknown army?

Were they destined to die here today?

Ye Feng glanced at Li Yin, Ru Qing, and Lin Su, their gazes meeting his. Their eyes were filled with tenderness and unwavering devotion, even Li Yin's. Their eyes met, a thousand words unspoken.

A surge of emotion welled up in Ye Feng's heart. He knew he couldn't give up. Even if he died here today, he had to protect the women and ensure their safe escape. It was a husband's responsibility, and even more so, a man's responsibility.

He gently said to Li Yin, "Ayin, wait a moment. If things get too difficult, take Sister Ru

and Sister Su with you. I'll cover the rear." Li Yin's delicate body trembled slightly. She gazed at Ye Feng, her eyes filled with tenderness. After a long while, she shook her head and said, "Let Sister Ru and Sister Su go. I want to stay with you."

At this moment, Ru Qing had obviously heard Ye Feng's words and said sadly, "No, we won't go alone. If we die, we die together." Lin Su hugged Ru Qing tightly and nodded resolutely.

Ye Feng was about to offer further persuasion when suddenly another chorus of beasts roared, filling the night sky with their piercing howls. Then Liu Mingzhi and Zhao Bai exclaimed, "The monsters are attacking..."

Everyone looked on in alarm, only to see the monsters, led by their beast king, charging towards them with lightning speed. Their formation seemed chaotic yet subtly aligned with the most terrifying array in the world. The monsters charged silently, yet this only amplified their oppressive power. In the light of the snow and torches, their eerie gazes were particularly chilling.

Li Yin coldly ordered the Great Yue Army, "Wait until these bastards are closer before firing your arrows. Remember, aim for their bellies!"

The Great Yue Army obeyed without question, but seeing the monsters' ferocity, many soldiers trembled uncontrollably.

Soon, the monsters were about to reach the Great Moon Army. Li Yin raised her hand, ready to fire the arrows as soon as the monsters drew closer. Everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Watching the monsters swarming across the mountains, Ye Feng's palms were sweating profusely, and his hand gripping the "Dragon Breaker" was white from the force. Suddenly, images flashed through his mind, and an uncontrollable thought surged into his head.

"If these are all velociraptors, then... well, let's try it, even if it's a last resort..."

Li Yin was about to lower her hand when a thunderous roar erupted from Ye Feng's mouth. With Ye Feng channeling his inner strength, the roar seemed to pierce the night sky.

Then, "whoosh whoosh whoosh..." a series of terrifying sounds came from Ye Feng's mouth. Those who knew would recognize it as the roar of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The king of the dinosaur family, even the extremely ferocious velociraptors had to submit.

Ye Feng's ventriloquism was incredibly lifelike. Coupled with the full force of his inner energy, the entire world was instantly enveloped in this terrifying sound, as if a living Tyrannosaurus Rex stood before them, radiating a chilling aura.

Li Yin and the others looked at Ye Feng in shock, not understanding his meaning. Then, a miracle occurred. When Ye Feng emitted that terrifying Tyrannosaurus Rex sound, all the monsters trembled in fear and immediately halted their charge. Even the Beast King was no exception.

After Ye Feng imitated the Tyrannosaurus Rex's roar for a while, the monsters, led by the Beast King, turned tail and fled like the wind, ignoring the shouts of their army behind them, quickly disappearing without a trace.

The torchbearers in the opposite woods had clearly lost their composure, not expecting things to turn out this way so suddenly. Facing the well-prepared Great Yue army, without the monster's assistance, they were obviously at a disadvantage. After a while, someone gave the order to retreat, and soon they all disappeared.

Ye Feng and the others breathed a sigh of relief, only then realizing that their backs were soaked with cold sweat.

"Who were these attackers?"

This question lingered in their minds after they calmed down. Although Zhao Bai, Liu Mingzhi, Lu Tianming, and others were well-informed, they had never seen such a monster before, nor had they ever heard of such a monster existing in the Spring Water Kingdom.

Clearly, the people in the trees were the instigators of this incident, but Ye Feng and the others hadn't even met them, so they had no way of knowing their identities. The Great Yue army suffered heavy losses; of their two thousand men, including the wounded and the injured, around five hundred were dead or wounded. After burying the fallen soldiers, everyone felt a deep sense of sorrow.

The monsters' formidable attack power left everyone shaken. In the Floating Cloud Continent, any nation or individual possessing such a monster army would pose a significant threat.

Ye Feng, having saved everyone's lives at the most critical moment, naturally became the hero of the group. However, seeing so many casualties, Ye Feng couldn't feel happy.

That night, everyone stayed up all night, guarding against possible ambushes. The next morning, they set off early. When they set up camp that night, security was even tighter, but no further night attacks occurred.

After five days of cautious travel, they finally arrived at Shuizu Prefecture, which bordered the Great Moon Kingdom and was defended by troops. Shuizu Prefecture was a fortress in the easternmost part of the Spring Water Kingdom, a castle several miles in circumference, situated at the confluence of three rivers. The

land

was fertile, the population dense, and its geographical location quite important. The Spring Water Kingdom had stationed ten thousand troops there.

When Ye Feng and Li Yin's group arrived at Shuizu Prefecture, their scouts had already reported back. Before they even reached the city gates, the sound of horns filled the air, followed by the gates opening wide. The prefect of Shuizu Prefecture (equivalent to the governor of the Great Yue Kingdom) was already there with his men to greet them.

After Li Yin and Ye Feng entered the prefecture, the prefect warmly welcomed them, speaking with utmost respect. After all, the Spring Water Kingdom was a vassal state of the Great Yue Kingdom, and the arrival of high-ranking officials from the suzerain state naturally required careful hospitality. Otherwise, if Li Yin and his group were displeased and reported it, he, a mere prefect, would be severely punished.

When Li Yin mentioned that his group had been attacked on their way there, the prefect's surprise was palpable. He repeatedly apologized to Li Yin and Ye Feng, stating that it was definitely not the work of bandits within his jurisdiction. He knew exactly which bandit groups existed within Shuizu Prefecture, and none of them possessed such a monstrous army. Li Yin was aware of this as well, so she put the matter aside for the time being.

Finally, Li Yin tentatively inquired about the Spring Water Kingdom's desire to break away from the Great Moon Kingdom and return to the Orchid Kingdom. The prefect was at a loss for words, and Li Yin, unable to obtain any valuable information from him, had no choice but to give up.

After resting for a day in the Water Fortress Prefecture, Ye Feng, Li Yin, and their group set off again. The prefect of the Water Fortress Prefecture dispatched two thousand troops to protect Li Yin, Ye Feng, and their companions.

This increased the strength of Ye Feng and Li Yin's group as they continued their journey towards the Spring Water Kingdom's capital, Dream City.

Half a day after leaving the Water Fortress Prefecture, they entered the mountains again, where the mountains stretched endlessly. Although the scenery was beautiful and pleasant, the group had no interest in admiring it.

Two days later, the terrain gradually rose higher, and the winding mountain road snaked upwards, seemingly without end. The forests on both sides of the road became increasingly dense with the rising altitude.

Finally, five days later, the group crossed the seemingly endless mountain range and entered the Dreamlike Plateau of the Spring Water Kingdom. Ahead lay the territory governed by Dreamlike City, the capital of the Spring Water Kingdom.

Standing on the Dreamlike Plateau, the landscape opened up before them, vast and expansive, filling them with a sense of peace and tranquility. The clouds in the sky seemed almost within reach.

Gazing at this endless expanse of ravines and valleys, reminiscent of the Loess Plateau of China, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief: "Dreamlike City, I've finally arrived."

※※※

Entering Dreamlike City, they were greeted by exotic scenery. The streets were bustling with activity, and the sights and sounds were quite different from those of the Great Yue Kingdom. Although the Spring Water Kingdom was small and weak, its commerce was highly developed, with merchants everywhere selling all sorts of goods.

Walking down the street, Ye Feng and his companions truly experienced the strange custom of polyandry in the Spring Water Kingdom. They saw mostly women accompanied by several men, and without exception, the men's expressions were submissive and respectful towards the women. Recalling what he had witnessed in the Great Yue Kingdom, Ye Feng felt a strange unease.

A group of officials responsible for receiving foreign envoys respectfully greeted Li Yin, Ye Feng, and their group, arranging for them in the luxurious Spring Water Grand Hall. They were treated with great hospitality, while the two thousand troops of the Water Defense Prefecture and the more than one thousand soldiers of the Great Yue Kingdom were naturally taken care of.

Although the Spring Water Kingdom's official reception was lavish, when Ye Feng, Li Yin, and their group finished washing up, presented their credentials, and requested an audience with the Spring Water Queen, the officials showed reluctance, explaining that the Queen was busy with affairs these past two days and had no time to receive envoys from a superior nation, hoping for their understanding.

Li Yin was furious. Chunshui Kingdom was a vassal state of Dayue Kingdom, and now that the suzerain state's envoy had arrived, they dared not see him! What audacity! However, Ye Feng gave Li Yin a look, and the matter was temporarily suppressed; the officials left.

The same situation continued for the next two days. Ye Feng, Li Yin, and their group were unable to see the Queen of Chunshui Kingdom. Furthermore, something else puzzled them. Generally, when a high-ranking official from a country goes on a diplomatic mission, they are usually welcomed by the visiting country's business community, hoping to further expand the markets of both countries. Business banquets and tours are inevitable.

But Ye Feng, Li Yin, and their group had been in Rumeng City for several days, and not a single person had come to visit. Unable to see the Queen, their mission could not proceed, leaving them quite bored. However, they contacted Dayue Kingdom's secret intelligence agency in Chunshui Kingdom, and learned that in ten days, the Queen would marry her seventeenth husband, whose identity was unknown and who was not from Chunshui Kingdom.

That afternoon, Ye Feng, Li Yin, Ru Qing, Lin Su, Zhao Bai, Lu Tianming, Gui Wuyan, Liu Mingzhi, and several of Li Yin's lieutenants sat together to discuss their upcoming mission. Everyone found it challenging, especially the topic of the Queen's seventeenth husband, whom she was to marry in ten days. They all suspected the man was suspicious. Li Yin instructed Lu Tianming to use every means possible to find out why the Queen was missing and the true identity of her seventeenth husband.

Lu Tianming accepted the order and left.

After visiting the various embassies, Ye Feng, Li Yin, Ru Qing, Lin Su, and Zhao Bai, bored in the embassy, and with Ru Qing, Lin Su, and Zhao Bai also having business to attend to, accompanied Ru Qing to the largest fabric wholesale market in Ruchunshui Kingdom—the Jingyue District Fabric Wholesale Market in Rumeng City.

Before coming to Ruchunshui Kingdom, Ye Feng had already learned about the Jingyue District Fabric Wholesale Market in Rumeng City from Ru Qing.

Spring Water Kingdom is rich in cotton and hemp, and its people are mostly engaged in mulberry cultivation, silkworm rearing, silk reeling, and textile spinning. The Jingyue District Fabric Wholesale Market in Rumeng City is the largest fabric wholesale market in Spring Water Kingdom, and even the entire continent. Fabric merchants from many countries, such as the Jade Tiger Fabric Shop of the Great Yue Kingdom, source their goods from here. Currently, the industry is at its peak, boasting over three thousand merchants and an annual transaction volume exceeding several million taels of silver, generating astonishing profits each year.

This Jingyue District Fabric Wholesale Market is said to be controlled by a woman named Jin Yueji. Legend has it that this woman, Jin Yueji, is thirty years old, with a mysterious background and origins. However, she is said to have a strong connection to the royal family of Spring Water Kingdom, and has eight husbands, all prominent figures in the kingdom, wielding immense power and influence. No one dares to easily offend them.

Fortunately, they are generally fair and generous, thus enjoying considerable respect among the people. In Spring Water Kingdom, everyone knows Jin Yueji.

When the group arrived at the Jingyue District Fabric Wholesale Market, they found the huge market entrance bustling with activity, a constant stream of people and horse-drawn carts carrying goods. Much of the merchandise was snapped up by waiting merchants as soon as it was unloaded.

Inside, the market comprised several large sales areas, supplemented by various logistics centers, with all necessary supporting facilities. It was said that the right to use each shop here for twenty years cost between 30,000 and 50,000 taels of silver, while the rent ranged from 500 to 4,000 taels per year, with prices even higher when shops were scarce.

After some effort, Ye Feng, Li Yin, Ru Qing, and the others finally met Jin Yueji, the owner of the fabric wholesale market, in a luxurious office building, with her eight husbands sitting beside her.

She wasn't exactly a stunning beauty; her looks were at best comparable to Yun'er, Lan'er, and Qing'er. However, she possessed a devilishly sexy body. Combined with her full, sensual lips, ample breasts, and large, round buttocks, her entire being exuded sexual allure, drawing all eyes to her.

In particular, she was exceptionally tall, comparable to Ye Feng and Li Yin, a rare feat. Moreover, she was very well-dressed. Her meticulously styled hair and a navy blue fox fur coat perfectly accentuated her noble air, while the tight-fitting traditional clothing of the Spring Water Kingdom underneath revealed the curves of her rounded hips, making her appear incredibly graceful.

Her phoenix eyes were filled with independence and wisdom, suggesting she was no ordinary person. The eyeshadow on her eyes added a touch of femininity, transforming her otherwise average beauty into a stunningly beautiful one.

This captivated Li Yin, Ru Qing, and Lin Su, who were sure that once they became acquainted, they would seek her advice on dressing up. Li Yin, in particular, looked at her with a fiery and unusual gaze.

After introductions, Jin Yueji smiled in her magnetic voice, "So it's the Martial Arts Champion and the Military Governor of the Upper Kingdom! I'm truly honored. May I ask what brings you gentlemen here?" She then gestured for seats for Ye Feng, Li Yin, and the others, her demeanor both elegant and respectful, maintaining a certain distance.

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Ms. Jin, you're too kind. I've come to your esteemed place to discuss some business matters with you, which I'd like to discuss in detail."

"Oh, business matters?" Jin Yueji and her eight husbands exchanged glances.

"Could you please explain further, sir?"

Ye Feng gave Ru Qing a wink, and Ru Qing understood, as business was her forte. She smiled and said, "Mr. Jin, it's like this. My family in the Great Yue Kingdom specializes in the trade of fabrics and clothing, mainly based in Jade Moon City. I've heard that Mr. Jin is also in the fabric business, so I'd like to cooperate with you and become your exclusive agent for wholesale fabric business in the Great Yue Kingdom."

Jin Yueji listened silently to Ru Qing's words, then glanced at the charming and serene woman before her, nodded, and smiled, "I am deeply honored by Mr. Ru's high regard. However, a few days ago, I already transferred my agency rights in the Great Yue Kingdom to Miss Zhao Xiu of Jade Tiger Fabric Shop in Jade Moon City. Therefore, I am truly sorry..."

Again, it was Jade Tiger Fabric Shop. Ye Feng and the others exchanged glances.

Ru Qing asked, "Is it a sole agency?"

Jin Yueji hesitated for a moment, then said, "Originally, this was a business secret, inconvenient to disclose to outsiders. However, seeing Boss Ru's sincerity, I will reveal a little."

"They also wanted to, but they didn't have the strength to take it all at once."

"But we do have that strength."

Ru Qing smiled slightly and interjected, "If Boss Jin can transfer the agency rights in the Great Yue Kingdom to us, I guarantee that our annual purchase volume will be one to two times higher than that of Yu Hu Cloth Shop, and we can also give them 10% to 20% more in profit sharing than Yu Hu Cloth Shop."

The eight husbands beside Jin Yueji couldn't help but show their interest. One of the handsome men sitting next to her, around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, was about to speak when Jin Yueji raised her hand. Her husband glanced at her expression and immediately stopped talking.

Ye Feng, Li Yin, Ru Qing, and Lin Su exchanged glances, all showing strange expressions. This Spring Water Kingdom truly had a wife-centric system.

Jin Yueji slowly said, "The reason my business has reached this point is entirely due to my integrity. Since we promised Yuhu Cloth Shop, we must keep our word, so..."

Ruqing's face remained calm as she smiled and interjected, "I understand Boss Jin's position, but Boss Jin doesn't need to reject me so quickly. Even if we can't have an exclusive agency, we can still buy in small quantities, right? How about this, I'll stay in Rumeng City for a few more days, and then I'll visit you again. Boss Jin can then consider my suggestion."

The two stood up, exchanged a bow, and their eyes held mutual appreciation.

Ye Feng and the others also stood up. To be honest, although the business hadn't been finalized yet, everyone had a good impression of Jin Yueji. However, at this

moment, Li Yin, who had been looking Jin Yueji up and down, let out a laugh. As everyone's gaze turned to her, she suddenly stepped between Ruqing and Jin Yueji, pressing herself tightly against Jin Yueji.

Everyone was taken aback. Ru Qing, who knew Li Yin well, immediately blushed and stepped back.

Jin Yueji's face also showed an unnatural expression. Although they were both women, this was still... Looking at the beautiful and alluring woman in front of her, who was the same height as her, she tried her best to maintain her composure as the hostess and said, "Governor, you...?"

Li Yin smiled and said, "In business, the most important thing is profit. My sister's terms are very generous. Boss Jin, don't miss the opportunity."

Li Yin's breath kept spraying on Jin Yueji's face, and their bodies were almost stuck together, making her even more unnatural. However, since they were both women, Jin Yueji could not show it. She said, "I understand... Your Excellency..."

Li Yin looked at her with a smile and took another step forward. Instantly, her full breasts were squeezed tightly against Jin Yueji's equally full breasts. The two pairs of full breasts were immediately squeezed in, and Jin Yueji couldn't help but "hmm" and a pink blush immediately appeared on her strong face.

She paused for a moment, giving Li Yin a strange look, and said softly, "My lord, you... please don't do this..."

Seeing Li Yin's behavior, Ye Feng's men, though already aware of her hobbies, felt somewhat awkward at her unrestrained and inconsiderate manner. They were also worried that Li Yin's actions might displease Jin Yueji's people and ruin their business. Jin Yueji's eight husbands were stunned, never expecting a woman like Li Yin. They were momentarily speechless, unsure whether to continue watching or step forward to stop her.

Li Yin, seeing the situation was favorable, stepped back and smiled, "I apologize for disturbing you, Boss Jin. I'll visit again another day."

Jin Yueji's face was still flushed, and she was somewhat hesitant to look at Li Yin, having long lost her strong-willed demeanor. After a long while, she recovered and bowed, saying, "This concubine welcomes you anytime, my lord."

※※※

"Ah Yin, you're really something."

Walking back, recalling the scene from earlier, Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh.

“Of course,” Li Yin said smugly. “Who do you think I am?”

Ye Feng laughed. “Aren’t you afraid she’ll turn on you or be unhappy?”

Li Yin laughed. “Feng Lang, you just don’t understand women’s psychology.”

Ye Feng humbly replied, “I’m all ears.”

Ru Qing, Lin Su, and the others also looked on with interest.

Li Yin smiled lightly, "Generally speaking, women are born with a bit of a masochistic streak, especially strong women. They often experience high work pressure and like to find some excitement to relieve it. This Jin Yueji was born in a country where one wife has multiple husbands. Her husbands are usually very respectful and obedient to her, always looking down on her. So when she encounters someone who looks down on her, she gets a strange kind of stimulation."

"And when I was with her just now, I could feel her body getting hot quickly. Obviously, that situation just now stimulated her a lot. As long as I use a little trickery and tease her appropriately in the future, I guarantee she will obediently fall into my arms... Hmm, then, I will definitely fuck her hard..."

The more she spoke, the more incisive she became. Ru Qing and Lin Su blushed and moved away from her, while Li Yin's subordinates looked on with admiration. Their master was indeed powerful, so skilled with women. It was truly something to learn.

Zhao Bai smiled, but was somewhat absent-minded, lost in thought. Gui Wuyan and Liu Mingzhi, both members of the Demonic Sect, found Li Yin's words quite agreeable.

Ye Feng, having practiced the "Evil Scripture Record," felt no aversion to Li Yin's words; on the contrary, he found them strangely stimulating. He laughed and said, "Good, you have personality and ability. Truly worthy of being my woman, Ye Feng's woman."

Li Yin gave Ye Feng a flirtatious wink, and the two smiled at each other.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Queen of Spring Water

In the afternoon, Ye Feng and the others accompanied Lin Su on a tour of Dream City, admiring its architecture to fulfill her wish and inspire her design ideas.

Dream City was filled with beautiful buildings, each unique in form, many featuring towering spires, quite different from the Great Yue Kingdom, possessing a distinctly exotic style. No wonder Lin Su wanted to learn from this. Another characteristic of the city was the abundance of flowers; the fragrance created a dreamlike atmosphere, truly befitting its name, Dream City.

After touring Dream City, the group went to the timber market in the western suburbs. Everywhere they looked, there were sawmills and lumber mills, merchants bustling about, and trade thriving.

The eastern part of Chunshui Kingdom was densely forested, rich in various types of furniture timber. This timber was of excellent quality, with beautiful colors and grains, and was much cheaper than in Dayue Kingdom and other countries. Therefore, furniture merchants from many countries chose to buy from here.

Zhao Bai and Ru Qing, with their shrewd business acumen, quickly found a suitable merchant and signed several mutually beneficial sales contracts. By evening, the group had returned home laden with their purchases.

The next morning, Ye Feng, Li Yin, and others were discussing matters inside the hall when one of Li Yin's subordinates came in to report that Jin Yueji requested an audience.

"Oh," everyone was a little surprised. What could Jin Yueji want? However, they were immediately delighted; Jin Yueji's visit must mean something good.

Li Yin quickly said, "Please come in."

Soon, the tall and alluring Jin Yueji gracefully entered. Her entrance immediately caught everyone's attention. She wore a deep red fox fur coat, her hair was styled in a high bun, and her lips, painted with lipstick, appeared luscious and alluring. Combined with her silver eyeshadow, she radiated beauty and was quite captivating.

Jin Yueji glanced at Li Yin, who was sitting in the middle of the hall staring at her, and a strange expression flashed across her face. She first greeted Ye Feng, then nodded to Ru Qing, Lin Su, and the others.

Then, she said to Li Yin, "My lord, I have something I'd like to discuss with you. Would it be possible to speak with you alone?" As she spoke, her pretty face inexplicably flushed.

Everyone was somewhat surprised, wondering what Jin Yueji wanted to discuss with Li Yin alone. Could it be what Li Yin had said yesterday…? All eyes turned to her.

Li Yin's gaze swept over Jin Yueji's full breasts and rounded buttocks, a smug and meaningful smile appearing on his face before quickly disappearing. He said seriously, "Since Boss Jin has invited me, how could I dare refuse? Boss Jin, let's talk inside."

Jin Yueji blushed again and whispered, "Please, my lord." She didn't dare look at Ye Feng and the others, and the two went into the house side by side.

Ye Feng and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with strange expressions. Clearly, they all had a premonition that something was about to happen.

※※※

Jin Yueji and Li Yin entered the inner room. Li Yin closed the door, a wicked smile on her face, and walked behind Jin Yueji, softly asking, "Boss Jin, what is it?"

Jin Yueji, for some reason, lowered her head, looking somewhat uneasy. After a long while, she said, "I've thought it over. I've decided to hand over the agency rights for our company in the Great Yue Kingdom to you."

Li Yin was overjoyed and laughed, "That's wonderful! Feng Lang and Sister Ru will be very happy to know."

She moved closer to Jin Yueji, took her hand, and whispered in her ear, "Boss Jin, you've been so good to us, how can I repay you?"

Jin Yueji's body trembled slightly as Li Yin held her hand, her pretty face quickly turning red. She forced a smile and said, "This is a mutually beneficial cooperation, sir, there's no need..."

Feeling Li Yin's body pressing closer and closer, she whispered, "Sir, please don't..."

"Don't do this?"

Li Yin chuckled, then suddenly pulled her, causing Jin Yueji to lose her balance and fall into his arms. Li Yin then pressed her against the wall behind him, his body pressed tightly against Jin Yueji's full, mature flesh.

Jin Yueji cried out, her face instantly turning bright red with embarrassment, struggling and saying, "My lord, don't do this... let me go..."

Li

Yin's body pressed tighter and tighter, while simultaneously raising Jin Yueji's hands high and pressing them against the wall. He then rubbed his body against Jin Yueji's firm breasts, causing Jin Yueji to gasp for breath. She gasped, "Don't do this, Boss Jin, isn't this what you wanted?"

Jin Yueji's breath came in gasps, her body growing weaker, and she stammered, "No, no, I...I..."

Watching this mature and sexy woman panting beneath him, Li Yin felt his desire surge rapidly. While rubbing her full breasts against Jin Yueji's firm breasts, she said, "Still denying it? You knew you could have discussed the agency matter with Feng Lang and Sister Ru in the hall, so why did you have to tell me alone in the room? Isn't that obviously trying to seduce me? And look at your body's reaction..."

She lifted Jin Yueji's skirt and inserted her fingers into her lower body. When she pulled them out, her fingers were already wet. "See? They're soaking wet."

Jin Yueji blushed instantly, let out a soft moan, and turned her face away, no longer daring to look at Li Yin. To be honest, she didn't know why she came to see Li Yin today. Ever since Li Yin had taken liberties with her yesterday, she had been thinking about her, thinking about that strange feeling. This intense desire had kept her awake all night, so much so that she couldn't wait to come to see Li Yin this morning. This was completely unlike her usual self.

Li Yin smiled smugly and whispered in Jin Yueji's ear, "Boss Jin, I told you so, didn't I? Don't be afraid, I understand your feelings and desires. I'll let you know that the moment I saw you yesterday, I wanted to fuck you, and now I'm going to fuck you hard!"

Hearing Li Yin's explicit words, Jin Yueji trembled all over, let out a soft moan, and collapsed into Li Yin's arms.

Li Yin chuckled, picked up Jin Yueji, and tossed her onto the bed.

Then she quickly stripped off her own clothes and went to the bedside to undress Jin Yueji, revealing her voluptuous and sexy body. Although she was thirty years old, Jin Yueji's body was still very well-maintained, with snow-white skin, plump and large breasts, a slender waist, and a thick patch of pubic hair—all of which aroused lust.

Jin Yueji dared not look directly at Li Yin's greedy expression, silently allowing him to remove her clothes, only turning her head away shyly and breathing heavily.

"Ah, really nice."

"Such big and firm breasts..."

Li Yin caressed Jin Yueji's firm breasts and the thick pubic hair with affection, whispering suggestive and lewd words in her ear, causing Jin Yueji's whole body to tremble uncontrollably.

"My lord, no..."

The lewd scent of the same sex made Jin Yueji breathless, her pretty face flushed, she said subconsciously, and weakly pushed away Li Yin's hands.

"Now you're telling me no?... Don't be shy, come on."

Li Yin turned Jin Yueji's head, making her face him, and then kissed her luscious red lips. Jin Yueji, in a daze of passion, let Li Yin kiss her, their lips intertwined, making soft kissing sounds.

"Feels good, doesn't it?" Li Yin pulled away from Jin Yueji's lips, gazing at her flushed cheeks, and lewdly chuckled, "Let me give you something more stimulating."

He then grabbed Jin Yueji's ample breasts, kneading her already engorged nipples forcefully.

"Oh..."

The sensation of pain mixed with waves of pleasure made Jin Yueji groan loudly.

"I knew you liked being tortured, isn't it great?"

Under Li Yin's continued actions, Jin Yueji felt waves of strange stimulation coursing through her body, unable to answer, only letting out seductive moans.

"Hehe, come on, let's indulge in some ecstasy."

Finally, Li Yin spread Jin Yueji's legs wide apart, placing them on his shoulders, and tightly embracing her buttocks, pressing their thighs and genitals together so that there wasn't even a gap.

Then, turning to Jin Yueji, he said, "Boss Jin, let's begin."

Jin Yueji didn't speak, her cheeks flushed, her body tense, and she breathed heavily, her eyes tightly shut, unable to look at Li Yin.

Suddenly, Li Yin moved sharply, "Ah!...Hiss..." Jin Yueji's body shuddered, a numbing pleasure immediately shooting from her lower body to her brain, causing her to tremble involuntarily.

"Feels good, doesn't it? Comfortable, ah..."

Seeing Jin Yueji like this, Li Yin became even more smug and quickened her pace, her body twisting incessantly against Jin Yueji's. Jin Yueji felt waves of indescribable, strange pleasure coursing through her body, a pleasure that even her eight husbands had never given her. She felt as if she were about to explode; her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and soft moans, almost sobs, escaped her red lips. Unconsciously, Jin Yueji also embraced Li Yin's body and began to writhe.

Their breasts pressed against each other, their lower bodies pressed tightly together, their long, smooth thighs intertwined, and obscene moans filled the entire space.

"I'll fuck you to death, I'll fuck you to death..."

Li Yin's movements grew faster and faster, her body twisting rapidly, and Jin Yueji choked with pleasure, tears of excitement streaming down her face.

Overwhelmed by pleasure, the two embraced tighter and tighter, their movements becoming increasingly rapid. Soon, Li Yin's moans changed tone as they rubbed each other frantically. "Ah...ah..." Finally, with a sharp moan, they both trembled and reached orgasm simultaneously.

"Hoo..." Li Yin and Jin Yueji both exhaled deeply, collapsing onto the bed, clinging tightly to each other, savoring the afterglow for a long time before slowly regaining their senses.

"How was it? How did it feel?"

Li Yin was the first to recover, blowing a breath into Jin Yueji's ear and whispering.

Jin Yueji still clung tightly to Li Yin, her body still twitching slightly, making soft panting sounds, as if enjoying the afterglow of her orgasm. Remembering everything that had just happened, her cheeks flushed, and she glanced at Li Yin with her watery, drunken eyes, lowering her head shyly.

However, she immediately looked up at Li Yin and said softly, "Just now, I experienced an unparalleled and strange pleasure, a pleasure I never felt with my eight husbands. I never imagined there could be so much joy between women... My lord, thank you."

"As long as you follow me, there will be many more pleasures to come."

"Be my woman, will you?" Li Yin lifted Jin Yueji's chin and gazed into her phoenix eyes.

Jin Yueji gave a shy "Mmm," but then sighed softly, "However, there can be no future between us, my lord. First, we are both women, and second, I cannot abandon my husband, my family, and my career in Rumeng City. It's truly heartbreaking."

"Yes," Li Yin also sighed, "I know all this, and I cannot stay in Rumeng City forever."

Both of them fell silent.

After a long pause, Li Yin said, "Don't think about these unhappy things."

She gazed at Jin Yueji with a mischievous smile and asked, "Why did you come to find me?"

Jin Yueji replied somewhat blankly, "I don't know. After being taken advantage of by you yesterday, I've been thinking about you constantly, even though you're a woman… It's so strange. I'm quite a prominent figure in Rumeng City, but towards you…"

"Hmm…" she shook her head, clearly genuinely confused about her actions.

Li Yin understood her feelings and didn't press the issue. After a moment's thought, she changed the subject, "When we entered the room, you said you would transfer the cloth agency rights in the Great Yue Kingdom to us. Is that true?"

Jin Yueji smiled slightly, her face regaining some of its usual strength and shrewdness. She said softly, "Of course it's true. I'm quite a prominent figure in Rumeng City, so of course I keep my word, especially towards you, my lord…"

Her pretty face flushed slightly as she said this.

Li Yin praised, "Excellent! But how will you explain this to Yu Hu Cloth Shop?"

Jin Yueji smiled and said, "I will handle this myself, sir, you need not worry."

"Very good." Li Yin couldn't help but smile, and Jin Yueji was stunned. She said, "Sir, you are so beautiful when you smile."

Li Yin sighed and said, "Only her smile is the most beautiful in this world."

Before Jin Yueji could ask who this woman was, her eyes lit up and she said, "Now that the cloth matter is resolved, I'll tell Feng Lang about it later, and he will be very happy."

Jin Yueji probed, "Judging from your tone, sir, you seem to value Lord Ye very much."

Li Yin sighed, "He was my nemesis in my past life, and he is also the man I love most in this life. My affair with him is too complicated to explain even in three days and three nights."

Looking at Jin Yueji, her eyes lit up again and she said, "By the way, my Feng Lang is quite good in bed. I'll go and call him in, and the three of us can play together. We're sure to get unimaginable results." "We often play like this in Jade Moon City,"

Jin Yueji exclaimed in surprise. "No, my lord, I can't have relations with anyone other than you and my husband, especially men..." Li Yin said

calmly, "Is my Feng Lang not good enough for you?"

Jin Yueji whispered, "It's not that. It's undeniable that Lord Ye is an excellent man, but... I have to consider the feelings of my husbands..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but Li Yin understood her meaning. In Spring Water Kingdom, women had many advantages. For example, women could freely seek pleasure with others without moral burden, and their husbands dared not say anything. But men couldn't. If they had affairs behind their mistress's back, they would be severely punished.

However, even so, wives tried their best not to provoke trouble outside the home for the sake of harmony within the family, so as not to arouse their husbands' secret dissatisfaction. But if she took a fancy to a man, she could openly marry him, and her husbands had to support her. Secret affairs were always frowned upon in Spring Water Kingdom.

But Li Yin didn't care about that and interrupted her, saying, "Feng Lang is the man I love most and will be my future husband. I will share all good things with him. If you can't accept him, then you don't have to accept me either. You have to sleep with him today, and the three of us will play together. Otherwise, you can leave now and don't need to come back."

As she spoke, Li Yin's tone turned cold, and she stared directly at Jin Yueji.

Jin Yueji's delicate body trembled, and her arms, which had been tightly embracing Li Yin, loosened involuntarily. She looked at Li Yin with a somewhat bewildered expression, her eyes seemingly engaged in a struggle between inner and outer thoughts. After a long while, she finally said, "I will leave everything to Your Excellency's decision."

Ye Feng was discussing matters with Ru Qing, Lin Su, Zhao Bai, and others in the hall when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the inner hall. Then, Li Yin walked out with a beaming smile and first said to Ye Feng and Ru Qing, "Feng Lang, Ru Jie, I have good news for you. Boss Jin has agreed to give us the agency rights for cloth in the Great Yue Kingdom."

"Oh."

Ye Feng and Ru Qing were taken aback, then overjoyed. Lin Su, Zhao Bai, and the others also congratulated Ru Qing.

Ru Qing smiled and turned to Li Yin, saying, "Yesterday, judging from her demeanor, I thought this matter would be difficult, but today...

how did Boss Jin change her mind?"

Li Yin smiled and said, "You can ask her yourself later."

Ru Qing looked at Li Yin, hesitatingly asking, "She is now...?"

Li Yin smiled slightly, gazing deeply at Ru Qing, and said, "She's in my bed right now."

Ru Qing immediately understood, her pretty face flushing red, and she didn't ask any further questions.

Ye Feng, however, admired her inwardly, secretly marveling at how capable his wife was. In just one day, she had managed to get the powerful businesswoman of Ru Meng City into bed—something he probably couldn't even do himself.

Li Yin then turned and beckoned to Ye Feng, saying, "Feng Lang, come here."

Ye Feng asked, "What is it?"

Li Yin urged, "Come on, it's good news anyway."

Ye Feng understood what was going on, stood up, and said, "Since it's good news, I'll come over."

Li Yin waited until Ye Feng reached her side, then whispered in his ear, "Your favorite mature woman, all naked and sweet, is waiting inside. She's the one I prepared for you." She chuckled as she spoke.

"Oh,"

Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat. He realized it must be Jin Yueji. He looked at Li Yin, who raised an eyebrow at him and smiled sweetly.

Ye Feng stroked his chin, a smile appearing on his face as well.

When Ye Feng and Li Yin entered the room, Jin Yueji was sitting blankly on the bed, lost in thought. Upon seeing Ye Feng, her face flushed crimson. This situation was incredibly awkward. Yesterday and this morning, she had been a composed and capable businesswoman, but now… She lowered her head, avoiding Ye Feng's burning gaze.

Ye Feng carefully examined Jin Yueji's mature and alluring body: her full, rounded breasts, long, firm legs, flat, solid abdomen, and plump, round buttocks—every feature was incredibly tempting. He couldn't help but secretly admire her as a true beauty, especially her status as a successful woman, which gave him an added sense of conquering pleasure.

Looking at the wet patches on the sheets beneath her, he could tell that she and Li Yin had just engaged in intense passion.

Ye Feng's blood boiled, and an uncontrollable desire surged within him. He walked to Jin Yueji, gently lifting her smooth chin, and softly said, "Ms. Jin, don't be nervous. Ayin and I will make you feel like you're in heaven. Just relax and enjoy it."

Jin Yueji had felt a tingling sensation all over her body when Ye Feng's intense gaze swept over her earlier; now, hearing his magnetic, seductive words, she trembled and felt her body heat up.

She raised her large, watery phoenix eyes and glanced shyly at the handsome man before her. She seemed about to say something, but then lowered her head again. Yes, what could she say at this moment? It would be better to say nothing at all.

Ye Feng's lust was ablaze at Jin Yueji's alluring glance, and he immediately wanted to pin her down and conquer her. Meanwhile, Li Yin, who had been watching the two, smiled and coiled herself around Ye Feng like a snake, whispering in his ear, "Feng Lang, do you like my arrangements?" Ye Feng kissed

Li Yin and laughed, "Ah Yin, you're so sweet and understanding. I like you more and more."

Hearing this, Li Yin happily kissed Ye Feng again, then reached down and touched his genitals, giggling, "Feng Lang, you're so hard! Won't you make Boss Jin suffer later?" Hearing this

, Jin Yueji secretly glanced at Ye Feng's genitals before quickly lowering her head in embarrassment.

"Ah...ah..."

The room was filled with seductive moans, sounds that were truly intoxicating and arousing!

Jin Yueji's black hair was disheveled, her pretty face flushed, and she moaned softly beneath Ye Feng. Her hands clung tightly to his body like water snakes, her round, high buttocks thrusting wildly, meeting each of Ye Feng's powerful thrusts. Her

full, firm, and large breasts were being squeezed and deformed by Li Yin beside her, who would occasionally lower her head to suckle her grape-sized nipples, causing Jin Yueji to tremble all over. After fondling

Jin Yueji's breasts and nipples for a while, Li Yin kissed her upwards, finally kissing her red lips. By this time, Jin Yueji was so overwhelmed with pleasure that she couldn't tell who was who, and she and Li Yin kissed passionately, their lips intertwined, kissing each other with intoxication.

The three of them were tightly entwined, the scene extremely lewd.

While passionately kissing Jin Yueji, Li Yin used one hand to forcefully push Ye Feng's buttocks, increasing the intensity of his thrusts and causing Jin Yueji to tremble and scream with each impact.

Under the combined assault of Ye Feng and Li Yin, Jin Yueji trembled with pleasure, moaning incessantly, completely disoriented. She experienced several orgasms, her vaginal fluids soaking the sheets.

Finally, Ye Feng and Li Yin sandwiched her, attacking her relentlessly.

Under their double, frenzied assault, Jin Yueji's beautiful body entered a state of frenzy, writhing wantonly and wantonly. Her face was completely devoid of any womanly reserve, her expression flushed with desire, and she was emitting incessant, ecstatic moans and screams, her cheeks burning as she reached an unbearable climax…

〓〓〓〓※〓〓〓〓※〓〓〓〓※〓〓〓〓

"Boss Jin, it's a pleasure to cooperate."

"A pleasure to cooperate, Sister Ru…"

In the Jingyue District fabric wholesale market, in Jin Yueji's office, Jin Yueji and Ru Qing signed a contract granting Ru Qing exclusive agency rights for fabrics in the Great Yue Kingdom. After signing, they exchanged contracts, smiling knowingly at each other, both clearly very satisfied with the cooperation.

Jin Yueji had now fully reverted to her image as a powerful businesswoman, her demeanor calm and composed, every movement methodical. However, for some reason, Ye Feng kept recalling her extremely wanton moans from the bed earlier.

Everyone rushed forward to congratulate her, but seeing the strange smiles on Ye Feng and Li Yin's faces, Jin Yueji couldn't help but blush, even though it had been a while since they finished.

After her lovemaking with Ye Feng and Li Yin, when the three of them walked into the hall and faced the strange looks from Ru Qing, Lin Su, Zhao Bai, Liu Mingzhi, and others, she felt utterly ashamed. She truly didn't understand why she had done that; it was so unlike her usual self.

Moreover, Jin Yueji understood the ways of business very well. Business was business; no personal feelings should be mixed with subordinates or partners. Letting emotions interfere in business often led to certain failure, especially when she had to consider her family's interests. But now…

In truth, as the mistress of the largest fabric wholesale market on the mainland, Jin Yueji always faced immense pressure. However, her resolute and strong-willed personality, along with years of social experience, prevented her from showing any weakness in front of others.

But this unexpected twist of fate gave her a rare opportunity to relax. For example, she blushed more times today than she had in the past ten years combined—a feeling she hadn't experienced in years. Naturally, she tried every excuse to comfort herself.

Fortunately, this collaboration wasn't a failure; it might even be an opportunity for her career to reach new heights. Thinking this, Jin Yueji glanced at Ye Feng and Li Yin again, noticing their smiling faces. She blushed again and turned her head away.

"Never mind, this is fine too," Jin Yueji thought to herself. "Anyway, it doesn't affect the business, and I can have a happy and enjoyable time. Let it be."

Yes, no matter how strong she was, she was still a woman!

Afterwards, it was lunchtime. Jin Yueji warmly entertained Ye Feng, Li Yin, and the others. The sumptuous and exotic dishes drew nods of approval from Ye Feng and the others, especially Zhao Bai, a food enthusiast, who was overjoyed.

Kim Yue-hee frequently urged him to drink, and her eight husbands were also present at the banquet. Ye Feng had already learned their names from Kim Yue-hee's introductions, and he knew that each of her eight husbands was a prominent figure in Rumeng City, especially An Xi-chuan and Park Jung-moon, who held considerable status.

An Xi-chuan was the head of the Yi Ying Treasury in Rumeng City, under the Ministry of Revenue, holding a rank of approximately fifth grade, in charge of oil, honey, beeswax, vegetarian goods, pepper, and other goods in the capital. Park Jung-moon was the head of the Feng Chang Temple in Rumeng City, under the Ministry of Rites, in charge of sacrificial rites and other affairs in Rumeng City, holding a rank of approximately third grade.

So many outstanding men were willing to serve a woman like Kim Yue-hee; it was truly puzzling whether it was Kim Yue-hee's great charm or if these men all had masochistic tendencies.

Moreover, the obsequious and subservient attitude of her eight husbands towards Jin Yueji at the banquet made Ye Feng, a fellow man, feel extremely uncomfortable. Living such a life was truly pitiful for the men of Chunshui Kingdom.

Ye Feng couldn't help but think of the matriarchal societies of ancient China; men back then must have acted similarly. Thinking of men today, those men were undeniably pathetic and pathetic.

However, the customs of Chunshui Kingdom also piqued Ye Feng's curiosity during the meal. For example, when they toasted, they first held the wine pot with their right hand, supporting the bottom with their left, then bowed and offered a toast before finally pouring the wine, and then poured three cups in a row. Finally, the person offering the toast held their cup low, touching the rim of their cup to the guest's cup, and bowed again before leaving—quite different from Dayue Kingdom.

All of this greatly intrigued Ye Feng.

At the banquet, everyone chatted animatedly, and naturally, the various businesses in Chunshui Kingdom and Dayue Kingdom became the focus of their discussion. Before they knew it, the conversation had turned to cloth.

At this moment, Jin Yueji's husband, Cui Hanshan, said, "This year, our Dachun cotton and hemp harvests have been bountiful, and our cloth shop is thriving. Every day, a large number of customers sign contracts with us to purchase goods. It's just a pity that we can't keep up with the demand for finished cloth from textile mills across the country; it's a real shame."

Jin Yueji asked, "Didn't you say that Master Pu Shiqing's improvements to the spinning wheel and loom have made great progress? Why haven't they been completed yet?"

Cui Hanshan sighed, "It's easier said than done. Although Master Pu Shiqing is the most skilled craftsman in Dachun, there's nothing he's thought of before, nothing to learn from. It's difficult… Yueji, think about it. Master Pu Shiqing spent nearly ten years improving the spinning wheel into a hand-cranked single-spindle spinning wheel. How can we expect to succeed in developing a newer model in just a year or two?"

Jin Yueji's husbands all nodded, agreeing with Cui Hanshan's assessment.

Among the guests, Li Yin, Zhao Bai, Lin Su, Ru Qing, and Gui Wuyan were completely ignorant about the spinning wheel, but Ye Feng's interest was piqued.

He slowly said, "I do have some personal opinions about this spinning wheel and loom... I wonder where Master Pu Shiqing is now? Perhaps I can offer him some assistance."

Everyone looked at Ye Feng with puzzled expressions.

※※※

It was an old and simple wooden hut, the paint on the pillars peeling off. Inside were a spinning wheel and a loom, along with piles of hemp and cotton.

A tall, thin old man dressed in traditional Chunshui Kingdom clothing was intently working on the spinning wheel, his expression focused. He didn't even notice Ye Feng, Jin Yueji, Li Yin, and the others entering.

Jin Yueji glanced at the small wooden house, frowned, and turned to scold Cui Hanshan beside her, "Hanshan, didn't I tell you to find a better research place for Master Pu Shiqing? Why is Master Pu Shiqing still living here?"

Cui Hanshan, feeling a little aggrieved by Jin Yueji's scolding, said, "A few months ago, I found a better place for Master Pu Shiqing, but he refused to move, so I couldn't do anything about it." At this moment,

the old man, Pu Shiqing, raised his head and smiled at Jin Yueji, "Yueji, don't blame Hanshan. This was my own idea. I've lived here for thirty years; I'm attached to it. After thinking it over, this is still the best place."

Turning his head, he saw Ye Feng, Li Yin, and the other strangers, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"By the way,"

Jin Yueji smiled and said to Pu Shiqing, "Master Pu Shiqing, let me introduce you to these distinguished guests from the Great Yue Kingdom."

She then introduced Ye Feng, Li Yin, and the others to Pu Shiqing.

Upon hearing that Ye Feng could offer suggestions on improving spinning wheels and looms, Pu Shiqing was overjoyed. He bowed to Ye Feng and said, "What are your suggestions, sir?"

Ye Feng had carefully observed the spinning wheel in the room upon entering. He had seen this type of spinning wheel before, when he first met Hua Yi in Jade Moon City of the Great Yue Kingdom. It was a hand-cranked, single-spindle spinning wheel, a product of the Han and Tang dynasties or even earlier in China. Its spinning capacity was low; the yarn spun by three or four people could only supply the needs of one loom, which was obviously insufficient.

Modern air-jet spinning machines in China, limited by productivity, could not be invented in this other world. However, foot-operated and water-powered spinning wheels, invented in the Song and Tang dynasties of China, would likely be very suitable.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng's heart stirred. He glanced at everyone and found that their eyes were fixed on him, waiting to hear his words.

Ye Feng smiled slightly and said calmly, "Master Pu Shiqing, human strength has its limits. Why don't you consider using external forces? For example, using your feet, or using external forces like water or wind..."

Pu Shiqing trembled, his eyes immediately shining brightly. He slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That's right!"

He paced back and forth in the room, muttering to himself, "How could I not have thought of that? For so many years I've focused on the power of my hands, but I didn't realize that no matter what, a person only has two hands." He

then looked sharply at Ye Feng and asked in a trembling voice, "Lord Ye, could you elaborate on your suggestions?"

Everyone in the room, seeing how excited Ye Feng had become of the most skilled craftsman in Dayue, couldn't help but look at him

with new respect. Jin Yueji, on the other hand, stared at Ye Feng, her beautiful eyes flashing with an unusual light. Finally, Ye Feng carefully explained to Pu Shiqing some of his suggestions for improving the spinning wheel and loom. First, he proposed to improve the hand-cranked single-spindle spinning wheel into a foot-operated three-spindle spinning wheel, which would increase the spinning speed by at least five to seven times.

Ye Feng's original intention was to improve the hand-cranked single-spindle spinning wheel into a water-powered spinning wheel. Compared to the foot-operated three-spindle spinning wheel, the water-powered spinning wheel had a significantly increased number of spindles, reaching thirty-two, and the spinning speed was at least a hundred times faster.

Moreover, the foot-operated three-spindle spinning wheel could only spin seven or eight ounces of cotton per day, while the water-powered spinning wheel could spin at least one hundred jin of hemp per day—a truly astonishing breakthrough.

However, Ye Feng now truly experienced the limitations of the "generation gap." Although Pu Shiqing was the most skilled craftsman in Chunshui Kingdom, when he was told how to improve the hand-cranked single-spindle spinning wheel into a foot-operated three-spindle spinning wheel, Pu Shiqing was speechless and bewildered, let alone understanding the water-powered spinning wheel. If

Pu Shiqing was like this, one can only imagine the reactions of others.

Initially, Ye Feng was a little annoyed; how could someone not understand something so simple? However, he later chuckled to himself. Accepting advanced civilization was no easy task. Back in China, it took hundreds, perhaps even thousands of years, for the foot-operated three-spindle spinning wheel to be improved into a water-powered spinning wheel. How could they possibly accept it in such a short time in this foreign world?

He'd deal with it later; for now, he'd use the foot-operated three-spindle spinning wheel, at least the speed had increased several times. Regardless of whether Pu Shiqing could accept the foot-operated three-spindle spinning wheel now, he'd draw him a rough blueprint first.

Afterwards, Ye Feng discussed the improvement of the loom with Pu Shiqing. By this time, Pu Shiqing was amazed by Ye Feng and naturally listened to him completely.

Ye Feng had seen the current loom at Hua Yi's place before; it was a primitive loom where people wove on the ground. First, they used their feet to pedal the warp rods, then the right hand held a weft-beating knife to tighten the weft threads, while the left hand fed the weft threads. With this method of weaving, if the spinning wheel speed increased significantly, the weaving speed naturally couldn't keep up.

Ye Feng immediately drew a sketch and introduced this foot-operated heddle-lifting oblique loom to Pu Shiqing.

Unlike primitive looms that were woven on the floor, this slant loom had a frame with the warp surface at a 50-60 degree angle to the horizontal base. The operator could weave while seated, and clearly see whether the warp tension was even and whether there were any broken ends. It also allowed for the use of both hands and feet, replacing the arduous action of lifting the heddles with the feet. This enabled the left and right hands to be used more quickly and efficiently for weft insertion and beating, naturally increasing productivity by more than ten times compared to primitive floor looms.

When Ye Feng drew up the sketches and introduced them to Pu Shiqing, not only Pu Shiqing, but also Jin Yueji, Li Yin, Lin Su, Zhao Bai, and others were stunned. Ye Feng's previous improvements to the foot-operated three-spindle spinning wheel had already amazed them, and now this foot-operated heddle-lifting slant loom astonished them once again. They

truly wondered what was in Ye Feng's head, how he could come up with so many useful things! Jin Yueji's eyes gleamed with a strange light as she gazed at Ye Feng, lost in thought.

Finally, Ye Feng, imitating Huang Daopo, also made some improvements to textile tools such as the cotton gin and the cotton-carding bow. For example, he replaced the treadle for removing cotton seeds with a hand-cranked "stirring wheel." The cotton-carding tool, originally a 1.5-foot-long bamboo bow with a string, was replaced with a large bow with a 4-5-foot-long rope string. This

allowed for powerful and efficient striking of the rope string with the fluffing mallet, resulting in looser and cleaner cotton. These improvements revolutionized textile tools, significantly increasing productivity. What Ye Feng didn't expect was that his improvements would greatly enhance the textile capabilities of the Spring Water Kingdom, making textiles a pillar industry there. Moreover, these textile tools quickly spread to other countries, bringing a profound impact to the Floating Cloud Continent—but that's a story for another time.

The entire afternoon was spent studying these textile tools. After dinner, under the admiring gazes of Jin Yueji and the others, Ye Feng and his group returned to the translation office.

As soon as they entered the hall, Li Yin clung to Ye Feng, holding him tightly, and whispered, "Feng Lang, I never expected you to know so much. Tell me honestly, how do you know all this?... Oh, and tobacco... Tell me..."

But how could Ye Feng answer? Should he say he came from another world? These things were commonplace to him. He could only smile and remain silent.

Li Yin's persistent questioning yielded no results, so she had no choice but to give up.

After chatting for a while, Ye Feng, Li Yin, Ru Qing, and Lin Su returned to the inner room to rest. Ru Qing closed the door and smiled at Li Yin, saying, "Yin-mei, I really have to thank you for today. Without you, I don't think we could have closed this deal so quickly."

Li Yin smiled slightly and said softly, "Ru-jie, we're all sisters, it's only right that I help. You don't need to take it to heart."

However, her eyes darted around, and she walked behind Ru Qing, whispering in her ear with a smile, "But if Ru-jie really wants to thank me, I won't refuse. How about this, Ru-jie, you repay me with your body?"

With a soft laugh, she wrapped her arms around Ru Qing's slender waist, and one hand immediately slipped inside her collar, grasping and kneading Ru Qing's full, firm breasts.

Ru Qing cried out, "Ah!" and immediately blushed deeply, struggling, "Yin-mei, don't do this, don't..."

But she wasn't as strong as Li Yin, and couldn't break free.

Li Yin chuckled, and her hand moved down to Ru Qing's lower body.

Ru Qing was even more shocked, her cheeks flushed crimson. She held Li Yin's hand tightly, preventing her from moving, and pleaded with Ye Feng for help, "Brother Feng, look at Yin-mei, please help me..."

Ye Feng, however, found the scene quite arousing and wanted to watch further. But since Ru Qing had said this, he naturally had to help her. He immediately shouted, "Yin, what are you doing? How can you touch your sister Ru? And touch her breasts... and stop?"

Li Yin giggled, withdrew her hand, but still held Ru Qing tightly, and breathed into her ear, saying, "Sister Ru, your breasts are so firm and soft." "It feels so good to touch, I want to keep touching it. Shall we sleep together tonight?"

Ru Qing's face was still flushed and delicate. She struggled free from Li Yin's embrace and said to Ye Feng in a coquettish tone, "Brother Feng, look at how Yin-mei is always like this, and you don't even care."

Ye Feng said, "Okay, I will!"

He then said to Li Yin, "A-Yin, how can you always touch your sisters like that? It seems I have to enforce the family rules. Sister Ru, Sister Su, let's spank her bottom."

Ru Qing laughed and said, "Okay."

Lin Su, who had been watching with a blushing face, also nodded shyly.

Li Yin screamed and tried to escape, but Ye Feng pounced on her like a hungry tiger, pinning her to the bed and holding her tightly. He then quickly stripped her of her clothes, revealing her snow-white, high-perched buttocks, and called to Ru Qing and Lin Su, "Sister Ru, Sister Su, come quick, spank A-Yin's bottom!"

Ru Qing and Lin Su, blushing and laughing, rushed forward, filling the room with screams and laughter…

※※※

The next morning, Ye Feng was sound asleep, holding Lin Su, when suddenly someone knocked on the door. Judging from the voice, it was one of Li Yin's lieutenants.

Ye Feng and Lin Su both woke up, and the lieutenant reported in a low voice, "Lord Ye, are you awake? Lord Li requests your presence."

"What's the matter so early?"

Lin Su asked, puzzled, as she helped Ye Feng get dressed.

Seeing Lin Su's loose hair partially obscuring her face, exuding a captivatingly languid aura, Ye Feng couldn't help but lightly kiss her cheek. Lin Su's eyes shone with tenderness, and she returned Ye Feng's kiss. Since arriving in Rumeng City, Ye Feng, Li Yin, Ru Qing, and Lin Su had slept separately to avoid Li Yin, that lecherous woman, always getting handsy when the women slept together, making Ru Qing and Lin Su uncomfortable.

After dressing, the two went to the hall, where they saw Li Yin talking with Lu Tianming and several of her lieutenants. Upon seeing Ye Feng, Li Yin smiled and said, "Feng Lang, Queen Chunshui wants to see us."

"Oh, has anyone come?" "

The Minister of Rites of Chunshui Kingdom (equivalent to the Vice Minister of Rites of Dayue Kingdom) just left, bringing Queen Chunshui's decree, saying that she will summon us to Chunshui Palace this afternoon."

"So she finally wants to see us?"

Ye Feng said calmly.

Recalling the past few days, everyone was filled with anger. How dare the Queen of Chunshui Kingdom treat them so coldly? Who gave them the audacity? Furthermore, Lu Tianming reported the intelligence he had gathered to Ye Feng and Li Yin: the identity of the Queen's seventeenth husband was suspicious, and various clues suggested he was likely a spy sent by the Orchid Kingdom. The situation seemed dire.

Hearing Lu Tianming's words, Ye Feng also expressed his own suspicions. He felt as if someone was intentionally or unintentionally monitoring or following them. Although there was no evidence yet, Ye Feng's senses had become exceptionally sharp since practicing the "Evil Scripture Record." Hearing Ye Feng's words, the skilled Li Yin, Zhao Bai, and others also expressed similar feelings.

After discussing their next steps, Ye Feng and Li Yin, naturally, went to see the Queen of Chunshui Kingdom for their mission. Lin Su, Ru Qing, Zhao Bai, and the others went to attend to their own affairs.

※※※

Ye Feng and Li Yin, dressed in their finest attire and escorted by a group of guards, arrived at the plaza in front of the Chunshui Palace, the residence of Queen Chunshui. The plaza, paved with stone slabs, was vast, and a ceremonial guard was already there playing music to welcome the two. Before them stood the magnificent Chunshui Palace.

After waiting briefly in the plaza, Queen Chunshui summoned Ye Feng and Li Yin to the palace.

Although Ye Feng, Li Yin, and the others had seen the Spring Water Palace from afar during their earlier visit, seeing it up close now made it seem even more magnificent, grand, and solemn. Inside, the decorations were opulent, and the hall's entrance was paved with granite, surrounded by a veranda on three sides.

Soon, in a magnificent palace built of pure white marble, Ye Feng and Li Yin met the Spring Water Queen, flanked by a group of high-ranking officials of the Spring Water Kingdom.

The Queen appeared to be around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, dressed in the traditional clothing of the Spring Water Kingdom, wearing a golden crown. She was extremely beautiful, possessing a mature woman's allure that was unique to her. Her meticulous grooming and privileged lifestyle gave her a naturally noble and graceful air.

Ye Feng noticed that the Spring Water Queen's skin was incredibly white, truly like ice and snow; he had never seen anyone with such fair skin before. Moreover, her eyes were incredibly captivating—watery, with slightly upturned corners, and long, curled eyelashes—truly a sight to behold.

When Ye Feng and Li Yin approached, the Queen of Chunshui Kingdom greeted them gently. This was the rule of vassal states: when a high-ranking official from the suzerain state came to greet them, the monarch of the vassal state had to come and receive him; otherwise, it would be considered disrespectful.

"Li Yin and Ye Feng, special envoys from the Great Yue Kingdom, pay their

respects to Your Majesty." A few steps from the Queen, Ye Feng and Li Yin bowed. As envoys from a superior nation, they were not required to kowtow.

"No need for formalities, envoys. I have been so busy with affairs that I have only been able to receive you today; I am truly sorry for my neglect,"

Ye Feng and Li Yin thought to themselves, "It's good that you know you're being neglected." They naturally said it was no problem.

After being offered seats, the Queen of Chunshui carefully observed the cold and alluring Li Yin and the handsome and dashing Ye Feng for a moment, a strange expression flashing in her beautiful eyes before disappearing.

She smiled slightly and said, "I have long admired the demeanor of the Grand Commandant and the Martial Arts Champion of the Upper Kingdom. Meeting you today, I can see

that your reputation is truly well-deserved." Li Yin's official position in the Great Yue Kingdom was Commander of the Army and Deputy Grand Commandant, but she felt quite comfortable even hearing others address her as Grand Commandant. She smiled back and said, "Your Majesty is too kind. In truth, when it comes to demeanor, none can compare to Your Majesty. I had already heard of Your Majesty's many talents back in the Great Yue Kingdom. Meeting you today is truly a great honor." Upon

hearing this, Queen Chunshui was indeed very pleased, and the distance between the two women immediately shortened considerably. The important officials of the Chunshui Kingdom standing nearby also nodded repeatedly in agreement.

However, when Li Yin brought up the current crisis in the Spring Water Kingdom, Queen Spring Water reacted coldly, only saying that there was absolutely no such thing, that the Great Spring Kingdom had always been loyal to the Great Yue Kingdom and had no disloyal intentions, and that the Great Yue Kingdom's rulers and ministers should not worry, etc. Her expression was gentle and polite, but with a hint of indifference. In the end, she even used some official jargon to

deal with the situation, leaving Li Yin at a loss for words. Ye Feng winked at Li Yin and smiled, "That's for the best. Otherwise, Your Majesty should understand the consequences of this matter. If it really comes to that, it's something neither country wants to see."

His words were gentle but carried a subtle threat, and Queen Spring Water couldn't help but look at him thoughtfully.

After the conversation, Queen Spring Water, as the host, led Ye Feng and Li Yin on a tour of the Spring Water Palace. However, Ye Feng and Li Yin soon shifted their attention to Queen Spring Water, because her walking posture was too charming.

Queen Chunshui was quite tall, her tight-fitting traditional clothing clinging to her full, high hips, making her curves even more beautiful. Her waist was slender, and her gait was characterized by a large sway, her rounded hips bouncing from side to side with every step, truly deserving the description of a wasp's buttocks and an ant's waist.

Although she didn't consciously twist her hips while walking, her graceful, willow-like figure still stirred the blood.

Watching Queen Chunshui's constantly swaying hips, Ye Feng and Li Yin exchanged a glance, both seeing the unspoken desire in each other's eyes, and smiled knowingly.

That evening, Ye Feng and Li Yin attended Queen Chunshui's welcoming banquet. During the banquet, Queen Chunshui introduced them to the various prominent ministers of Chunshui Kingdom. The two also sampled various delicacies from the Chunshui royal palace and enjoyed the unique folk songs and dances of Chunshui Kingdom, finding it quite pleasant.

That evening, the Queen's sixteen husbands also attended the banquet. Her seventeenth husband, whom Ye Feng, Li Yin, and others suspected of being spies from the Orchid Kingdom, was also intimately by her side, drawing intense jealousy from the Queen's other sixteen husbands.

Ye Feng noticed that this man was exceptionally handsome, tall with deep black eyes and a prominent nose. His unique, cold demeanor made him the center of attention, attracting the attention of many royal ladies.

Beside him was a stunning woman, as beautiful as Li Yin, with a full and bouncy figure and captivating, watery eyes that seemed to subtly flirt with others. She was said to be the man's cousin.

The three appeared intimate, whispering and laughing. Ye Feng and Li Yin couldn't help but feel that their relationship was intriguing. They

carefully observed the two, also sensing that they were being closely watched by them as well.

When the Queen introduced Ye Feng and Li Yin to them, the man and the beautiful woman smiled and bowed. However, Ye Feng and Li Yin sensed an inexplicable hostility from the two.

This made them even more cautious.

After the introductions, Ye Feng and Li Yin learned the names of the man and the beautiful woman: the man was named Li Shi Nan, and the woman was named Jin Su Hui.

The banquet didn't end until late at night.

In the following days, Queen Chunshui repeatedly hosted banquets, inviting Ye Feng and Li Yin to enjoy themselves to the fullest. Various high-ranking officials of Chunshui Kingdom also invited them to their welcome banquets and parties. On the surface, the relationship between Chunshui Kingdom and Dayue Kingdom seemed close and without any barriers. However, Ye Feng and his companions sensed that behind the lavish hospitality of the Chunshui Kingdom's rulers and officials lay a huge conspiracy.

Things were indeed unpredictable. Only a few days later, Queen Chunshui and the high-ranking officials of Chunshui Kingdom reverted to their attitude towards Ye Feng, Li Yin, and their companions, returning to how they had been when they first arrived in Chunshui Kingdom. They ignored them and became negligent.

Not only that, Ye Feng and Li Yin often sensed that they were being monitored around the Yiguan, which infuriated them. Combining this with intelligence from the Dayue Kingdom's underground intelligence network in Chunshui Kingdom, Ye Feng and Li Yin decided they should take action.

Based on the information gathered by Lu Tianming and the analysis of the Dayue Kingdom's intelligence network in Chunshui Kingdom, they arrived at a startling conclusion: the Queen's seventeenth husband, Li Shi Nan, was actually a spy from the Orchid Kingdom, and a member of the Orchid Kingdom's royal family. He was highly likely to be the twenty-third son of King Hua Meng of the Orchid Kingdom, Hua Mizhi, whose identity remained a mystery as he secretly practiced secret arts abroad.

It is said that this Flower Mistress is highly skilled in martial arts and possesses secret techniques in the bedroom, capable of making women experience ecstasy and become hopelessly addicted. If this man is indeed Flower Mistress, then the Orchid Kingdom's move is truly insidious—using a handsome man to seize the Spring Water Kingdom from the Great Moon Kingdom without bloodshed.

Judging from the Spring Water Queen's reactions these past few days, this plan has indeed been quite successful.

The matter can no longer be delayed. After detailed discussion, everyone unanimously decided that Ye Feng would first infiltrate the Spring Water Palace to gather intelligence and then verify the situation one last time!

That very night, Ye Feng infiltrated the Spring Water Palace.
