[Wuxia] The Substitute Duan Yu of Tianlong (Complete) - 30

Chapter 199 [Sharing a Bath]
"So it seems I really do need to become the Human Emperor first. Originally, my plan was to first infiltrate the demon race's forces and consolidate a group of power. Now that I have a better way, I'll achieve the status of Human Emperor first. Becoming Human Emperor is like obtaining a protective talisman. With this identity, the Jade Emperor certainly won't openly target me anymore. Although the Human Emperor can't compare to the Heavenly Emperor, his status isn't much lower,"
Duan Yu said.
"So you've already decided?"
Xuan Nu asked with a charming smile.
"Yes, I've decided! I'll consolidate the human forces first. Originally, I was waiting for the second Investiture of the Gods to begin, but now that there's a loophole, of course I'll take advantage of it. I really have to thank you for reminding me this time,"
Duan Yu said.
Xuan Nu smiled sweetly and said, "The matter has been analyzed clearly. Whether you can do it or not depends on you! I hope you won't disappoint me."
"Do I look like the kind of person who would disappoint you? Now I already have three countries under my control. Does the Great Song Dynasty think it can escape?"
Duan Yu said.
"How do you plan to reclaim the Song Dynasty?"
Xuan Nu asked.
"This emperor has been on the throne for too long. Since he's unwilling to be just a puppet emperor, let me help him transcend that,"
Duan Yu said with a smile.
"Are you still planning to kill him?"
Xuan Nu asked.
"I'd rather deal with women than men. Empress Dowager Xiao's lifespan isn't long either! The Song Dynasty is about to change! Let's talk to Empress Dowager Xiao," Duan Yu
said with a wicked smile. Xuan Nu gently shook her head, her eyes filled with determination! Now she had accepted her identity as Duan Yu's woman. Having accepted this identity, she had to consider Duan Yu's interests. Although Xuan Nu disapproved of some methods, she would allow Duan Yu to use them for the sake of the plan. Duan Yu
didn't have much time now, and some special methods were inevitable.
The two were communicating through telepathy, while Ye Erniang followed them, confused! She didn't understand why they were going to see the prince.
However, since Duan Yu wanted to go, Ye Erniang couldn't do anything about it. Because she had no confidence in escaping from the thousands of imperial guards! These men were all watching her warily.
The imperial guards were especially attentive to her.
The group quickly arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture. At Duan Yu's signal to keep a low profile, his identity was not revealed.
The group headed directly towards the Seventh Prince's residence.
Although they were to keep a low profile, Xu Ping still sent someone to inform the prince immediately. The imperial guards had been discreetly heading towards their camp since entering Kaifeng.
In fact, after learning that Duan Yu was the Emperor of Dali, Xu Ping knew that there was probably no point in pursuing the matter further. Now that the young prince was safe, everything would be fine.
When Duan Yu arrived at the Seventh Prince's residence, someone was already waiting there. The Seventh Prince himself was waiting at the gate.
"Your Majesty of Dali has traveled a long way to welcome me. I, Zhao Kuo , am deeply sorry for not being able to greet you properly,"
Zhao Kuo laughed and bowed to Duan Yu.
"Hehe, Duan Yu is merely the ruler of a small country, there's no question of rudeness. It's just that I've abruptly disturbed Your Highness with this visit,"
Duan Yu replied with a cupped-hand salute and a smile.
"What are you saying? Since you are a friendly neighbor, I, Zhao Kuo, will naturally welcome Your Majesty with great enthusiasm. Your Majesty, please come inside,"
Zhao Kuo said,
stepping aside. Duan Yu smiled lightly and entered without hesitation. Following Duan Yu in, Zhao Kuo followed. From the moment he saw Duan Yu, he hadn't even asked about his son. Upon seeing Xuan Nu's unparalleled beauty, he was only momentarily stunned before reacting. Duan Yu
noticed this expression, and a subtle smile appeared on his lips. Zhao Kuo seemed to be no ordinary person.
Xuan Nu's journey had caused quite a stir in Kaifeng. Although Duan Yu had said he would keep a low profile, it was impossible to. Everyone who saw Xuan Nu was utterly captivated by her stunning beauty! A face that shouldn't even exist in the mortal world.
Passing through artificial hills and lakes, and traversing several long corridors, Zhao Kuo led Duan Yu to a reception hall. Servants quickly brought out tea and refreshments.
At Zhao Kuo's command, the servants dispersed,
leaving only Zhao Kuo and Xu Ping.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea and refreshments!"
Zhao Kuo invited the three to sit down, smiling. "I've long heard that the emperors of Dali are all men of both literary and martial talents. It's truly an honor to meet Your Majesty today."
Zhao Kuo showed no restraint towards Duan Yu. To these princes, while the emperor was indeed of high status, he was nothing special. Therefore, his words were merely polite.
"Your Highness's words are too kind to me. I've come to return the young prince." Duan Yu,
without much formality, smiled and handed the child to Lord Qiwan.
Lord Qiwan took the young prince! Without asking any questions, he simply smiled and instructed the servants to take the young prince away.
"Thank you for your assistance, Your Majesty,"
Zhao Kuo said. "May I ask what brings Your Majesty here this time?"
"Hehe, I've only come to the Song Dynasty by chance! There's nothing much going on,"
Duan Yu said with a smile.
"Your Majesty has quite the refined taste,"
Zhao Kuo said with a smile.
"You should say I'm being lazy! I'm not very enthusiastic about state affairs, which is why I wander around! This time, I've come here hoping to bother Your Highness for a few days,"
Duan Yu said.
"It's only right that I, Your Majesty, fulfill my duty as host when Your Majesty comes to the Central Plains. I'm just worried that Your Majesty might not be comfortable here. Please don't blame me then,"
Zhao Kuo said.
"Your Highness, you are too modest. Although I, Duan Yu, am the emperor of a country, our Dali Kingdom is far inferior to the Song Dynasty. How could I, Duan Yu, not be comfortable here with Your Highness?"
Duan Yu said with a smile.
"That's good! Your Majesty must be quite tired from traveling so far. I'll arrange for the servants to make preparations so that Your Majesty can freshen up and rest properly. Tomorrow, I'll take Your Majesty on a proper tour. I must also report Your Majesty's arrival to the Emperor,"
Zhao Kuo said.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness,"
Duan Yu said.
Zhao Kuo exchanged a few more pleasantries and then left with Xu Ping and the others, leaving only a few maids to serve Duan Yu and his companions.
Watching them leave, Ye Erniang looked at Duan Yu with a seductive gaze and said, "Duan Yu, what exactly do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do? Nothing at all,"
Duan Yu said casually, peeling an orange.
"Nothing at all? What are you doing here? Don't tell me you want to have a chat with the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"
Ye Erniang said.
"That's not necessarily a bad thing. You know I've only been on the throne for a short time, and I'm not very good at handling state affairs. The Emperor of the Great Song has been on the throne for so long; it's only right that I consult him,"
Duan Yu said.
The maids around him, hearing Duan Yu openly discussing the Emperor, changed their expressions slightly, but weren't overly surprised.
At this moment, these maids were all secretly observing Duan Yu with curiosity.
Such a handsome man was actually the Emperor! For these maids, this wasn't something they could just happen to see.
Many people would never see the Emperor in their entire lives.
Although Duan Yu wasn't the Emperor of the Great Song, he was still an Emperor.
"Why are you all looking at me like that? If you want to look, then look boldly," Duan Yu
said with a mischievous smile, staring at the maids around him.
"We wouldn't dare. Please forgive us for offending Your Majesty,"
the maids said sweetly.
"What's there to offend? Look if you want, but you're not allowed to look secretly,"
Duan Yu said with a smile.
The four maids exchanged glances, then shyly looked up to scrutinize Duan Yu. They were all bewildered. They'd always heard that serving a ruler was like serving a tiger! This man was the emperor, yet he lacked the imposing presence expected of one.
"What are your names?"
Duan Yu asked with a smile.
"Our names are Chunxiang, Xiaxiang, Qiuxiang, and Dongxiang!"
the four maids replied in unison.
Hearing their common names, Duan Yu sighed softly. Such names were indeed very common in this era!
"Are you all curious why I lack the majesty of an emperor?"
Duan Yu asked with a smile.
"No!"
Chunxiang shook her head. "Little girls
, lying isn't right," Duan Yu chuckled, not teasing the maids any further. Chunxiang lowered her head shyly. "Are you really the emperor?" Qiuxiang asked. "How could I be lying?" Duan Yu said with a smile. "But aren't emperors supposed to be very busy? How come you're so free?" Dongxiang asked curiously. "How do you know I'm not busy?" Duan Yu replied. "If you were so busy, would you have come all the way to the Central Plains?" Xia Xiang chuckled. Duan Yu smiled mischievously and said, "Don't you know that emperors like to travel incognito? I'm out here looking for beauties. I think the four of you are quite nice, so why don't you come back with me?" The four women's expressions changed, staring blankly at Duan Yu, unsure if he was telling the truth. If he really wanted to take them away, even the prince would probably agree. Seeing their expressions, Duan Yu laughed, "I was just teasing you, why are you so nervous!" The four women glared at Duan Yu, then ignored him. Emperors are indeed quite wicked! This was what the four women were thinking. Duan Yu and the other two didn't wait long. Zhao Kuo came in again. "Everything is arranged, Your Majesty, please go and freshen up," Zhao Kuo said. "Then I'll trouble Your Highness to make the arrangements," Duan Yu said. Zhao Kuo immediately led the three to a bathroom! It was a very large bathroom! The prince led Duan Yu to the door and asked, "Does Your Majesty need servants?" "Your Highness, do you think I need any?" Duan Yu gave the prince a knowing look. The Seventh Prince laughed and said, "I think it's unnecessary. In that case, I'll take my leave. Someone will bring you clothes shortly." With that, the Seventh Prince left. As the Seventh Prince departed, a mischievous smile appeared on Duan Yu's lips as he stared wickedly at Ye Erniang and Xuan Nu. Xuan Nu rolled her eyes at Duan Yu without saying a word. Ye Erniang also gave Duan Yu a seductive glare, though she wasn't entirely at ease. "Duan Yu, why are you looking at me like that?" Ye Erniang said. "I was wondering whether you'd like to leave now or come with me to bathe. Let me warn you, there are many imperial guards around here. This prince seems unconcerned, but as soon as you leave my side, I can guarantee you'll be attacked immediately," Duan Yu said with a smile. Ye Erniang frowned upon hearing this; she was well aware of this. She clearly sensed the surrounding security. She glared at Duan Yu and said, "Do you want me to serve you?" "Do I look like I need your service? My sister Xuan Nu is much better than you," Duan Yu said, pulling Xuan Nu into his arms. Xuan Nu rolled her eyes at Duan Yu and said, "I won't serve you." Chapter 200 [Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden] Ye Erniang was surprised by Xuan Nu's words. She giggled and asked Xuan Nu, "Where are you from, sister?" "Hahaha..." Duan Yu suddenly burst into laughter. Duan Yu's laughter confused Ye Erniang. "What do you mean?" Ye Erniang said coldly. "You actually call Xuan Nu 'sister,' hehe, she's not someone you can just call 'sister.'" Duan Yu said with a smile. Ye Erniang looked at the two of them in confusion, still not understanding. "If you want to know the answer, let's talk inside," Duan Yu said, not looking at Ye Erniang any longer, and pulled Xuan Nu's delicate body into his arms, leading her inside. Xuan Nu's pretty face flushed slightly as she gazed at Duan Yu and said softly, "Don't forget your promise." "Of course not, but can't I even take a bath with you?" Duan Yu said with a smile. "No!" Xuan Nu said coquettishly. "It hurts me to say that," Duan Yu said resentfully, looking at Xuan Nu. "Hehehe...you big bad guy, don't try to play tricks on me. No means no. Who knew you'd be so wicked and not know how to do anything else?" Xuan Nu said. "Do I look like that kind of person?" Duan Yu said. "Very much so! No! You are exactly that kind of person," Xuan Nu said with a coquettish laugh. Duan Yu chuckled, "Whatever, I'm definitely taking a bath with you today." Xuan Nu rolled her eyes at Duan Yu and said, "You're trying to break your promise so quickly? I'm really going to be angry."

"I'm not afraid of getting angry,"
Duan Yu said cheekily.
"You..."
Xuan Nu glared at Duan Yu angrily. This man was too good at manipulating women's hearts. He clearly knew that she couldn't leave him now, yet he treated her like this.
Seeing Xuan Nu's anger, Duan Yu suddenly kissed her lips, a light kiss that made Xuan Nu blush. This man had once again ambushed her.
Xuan Nu didn't even have time to resist.
Meanwhile, Ye Erniang slowly walked into the bathroom. Her eyes were filled with doubt! Who exactly was this beautiful woman?
Why did Duan Yu say that? Although Duan Yu's words seemed like a joke, she clearly felt the true meaning behind them.
This woman was probably not an ordinary woman.
"Who are you?"
Ye Erniang asked Xuan Nu directly.
"My name is Xuan Nu,"
Xuan Nu said.
"Xuan Nu?"
Ye Erniang frowned, still not knowing who this person was. Searching among the martial arts world, she couldn't find any information about her. Could she not be a martial arts person? But if she wasn't a martial arts practitioner, why didn't this woman show the slightest fear when she saw the Imperial Guards? It was an absolute confidence.
"You can't guess who she is? You'd better not overthink it,"
Duan Yu said with a wicked smile.
"Duan Yu, what exactly do you want this time? How did you know I was at that intersection? Judging from your actions, you were probably waiting for me,"
Ye Erniang said.
"That's right! I was waiting for you,"
Duan Yu said.
Ye Erniang's expression changed: "Then tell me why you were there? And how do you know that Xuzhu is my son? Even if you know about some of the developments, you shouldn't know that Xuzhu is my son."
"If I told you I'm an immortal, would you believe me?"
Duan Yu asked, looking at Ye Erniang.
"You're an immortal? You're an immortal?"
Ye Erniang smiled charmingly, but her smile didn't last long, because something unbelievable suddenly happened. Half of Duan Yu's body suddenly disappeared!
Ye Erniang stared at Duan Yu in horror; only his upper body remained.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Ye Erniang stumbled back several steps.
"This...this..."
Ye Erniang was speechless.
"Still don't believe me?"
Duan Yu said with a smile.
Ye Erniang swallowed hard and said, "You really are an immortal...you are the Mystic Maiden? The Mystic Maiden? Could you be the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden?"
"Hehe, a goddess? That's right, it's her. But she's not a goddess, she's my woman."
Duan Yu said with a smile.
Ye Erniang's eyes widened, and she shook her head in disbelief: "This isn't real...this isn't real...it must be a dream...it must be a dream...how could I have such an absurd dream...son, an immortal...ha...ha...hahaha...I'm going crazy...it seems I've gone crazy!"
Ye Erniang was completely confused at this point; the shock was too intense.
"Is it a dream? Can a dream be this real?"
Duan Yu said with a smile.
"Not a dream? Really not a dream?"
Ye Erniang stammered.
"Of course not a dream! Look closely, all of this is real."
Duan Yu said.
"How can you be an immortal? Aren't you Duan Yu?"
Ye Erniang tried to calm herself down.
"How could I not be Duan Yu?"
Duan Yu said. "As for why I'm an immortal, I, Duan Yu, am naturally gifted, so becoming an immortal is only natural."
Xuan Nu scoffed lightly, thinking how shameless this scoundrel was.
Ye Erniang ignored Duan Yu's antics and looked directly at Xuan Nu, saying, "You really are the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden."
"That's right, it is indeed me," Xuan
Nu nodded.
"This humble woman, Ye Erniang, pays respects to the Mystic Maiden,"
Ye Erniang suddenly knelt down.
Duan Yu and Xuan Nu were both dumbfounded.
"What are you doing?"
Xuan Nu frowned slightly and with a wave of her hand, Ye Erniang was instantly lifted up.
Ye Erniang looked at Xuan Nu excitedly, saying, "If you really are the Mystic Maiden, then you must have heard my prayers. My poor son, he is finally safe. Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty, you finally heard my prayers!"
Now Duan Yu and Xuan Nu finally understood what was going on. It seemed that the deity Ye Erniang worshipped was Xuan Nu.
Duan Yu looked at Xuan Nu with amusement. Mortals all believe in gods, but how could they know that gods are not truly omnipotent?
"This wasn't me. I'm sorry, I didn't hear your prayer. Only Duan Yu knows about your son,"
Xuan Nu said.
"Ah..."
Ye Er Niang was surprised.
"Really, didn't I tell you everything about your son's whereabouts? Why don't you believe me? Although Xuan Nu is senior, she's my woman now,"
Duan Yu said domineeringly, embracing Xuan Nu.
Ye Er Niang was truly shocked. She was fine before not knowing Xuan Nu's identity, but now that she knew and saw Xuan Nu being embraced by Duan Yu like this, she was greatly shocked.
Xuan Nu was being held like this by Duan Yu! What did this mean? It meant that Duan Yu was at least not just an ordinary god.
Shaking her head blankly, Ye Er Niang didn't know how to react. Although she had killed many people and her mind was stable, beneath that ruthless surface lay a fragile heart.
When she learned that Duan Yu was actually a deity and the woman before her was Xuan Nu, her fragile heart was fully revealed.
"You're a deity, so what brings you here?"
Ye Erniang asked.
"I have a karmic connection with your son, Xu Zhu, and now I must repay it,"
Duan Yu said.
"You and my son have a karmic connection. Could it be that you...?"
Ye Erniang pointed at Duan Yu in shock.
"Don't look at me like that. It's not what you think. I merely took some of his opportunities. You could say that half of my attainment of immortality is because of him. Of course, I only took his opportunities; even if he had those opportunities, he wouldn't have achieved immortality. Do you understand?"
Duan Yu said.
Ye Erniang shook her head. "I don't understand!"
"Don't understand? That's easy. Eat this and you'll understand."
After speaking, Duan Yu took out a magic pill and handed it to Ye Erniang.
Looking at the shimmering pill, Ye Erniang stared blankly at Duan Yu and said, "It really will make me understand everything if
I eat it." "Of course, why would I lie to you?"
Duan Yu said.
Having received a positive answer, Ye Erniang took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp. As soon as the golden pill entered her body, a radiant light immediately emanated from her.
Without the slightest error, under the enhancement of this golden pill, Ye Erniang directly achieved immortality. In achieving immortality, she also comprehended the Heavenly Dao!
When she comprehended the Heavenly Dao, Ye Erniang's mind was completely immersed in it. She found that her mind seemed to have completely merged into it.
It was an indescribable feeling, and gradually she found herself about to lose herself in it. Just then, she suddenly felt a warm presence. It was a love etched deep in her bones, a love filled with intense tenderness.
What was this feeling? Why did she feel it so profoundly! Her mind couldn't help but drift towards that feeling of love. As her mind became entangled with that feeling, Ye Erniang suddenly realized that she had regained her senses.
When she opened her eyes, Ye Erniang froze. She found herself being kissed.
The person kissing her was none other than Duan Yu.
"Ah...you..."
Ye Erniang exclaimed and tried to push Duan Yu away, but Duan Yu held her tightly.
"You...what are you doing?"
Ye Erniang said.
"Nothing, just following the normal procedure. Didn't you notice that your body is different?"
Duan Yu said.
Hearing Duan Yu's words, Ye Erniang immediately ignored Duan Yu and examined her body. She was stunned by what she saw. Was this still her body? How had it suddenly become like this? This was clearly a young girl's body! How could her fair and delicate skin be so radiant?
"This...what exactly is going on?"
Ye Erniang asked in surprise.
"Have you forgotten your realization just now?"
Duan Yu said with a smile.
Duan Yu's words were instantly imprinted on Ye Erniang's mind like lightning. She suddenly recalled that strange realization she'd just had! The Heavenly Dao! It was actually the Heavenly Dao. With this realization, Ye Erniang was suddenly struck by an even stronger shock. An
expression of disbelief appeared on her face. An immortal! She was already an immortal! Then, her pretty face flushed a rare red, because she suddenly remembered the love she had felt during her moment of confusion—a love so heart-wrenching!
Why was this happening? Why did she feel such profound love? Why was she immersed in that love?
That love came from the person before her! Duan Yu! From him? How could it be! Everything seemed so absurd!
Ye Erniang found herself seemingly understanding the cause and effect Duan Yu had spoken of. Having just comprehended the Heavenly Dao, she vaguely understood the concept of cause and effect! But she still dared not accept it.
"Do you really have to understand cause and effect with me?"
Ye Erniang asked softly.
"Indeed! This is the cruelty of cultivators! Now that you've become an immortal, don't you understand?"
Duan Yu said.
Ye Erniang sighed softly, "Why must I be chosen?"
"Didn't you say you'd let karma be imprinted on you?"
Duan Yu said with a smile.

Chapter 201
Hearing Duan Yu's words, Ye Erniang's face changed. At this moment, she didn't know what to do. She had indeed said to let karma be attached to her, but now that karma had truly arrived, Ye Erniang was at a loss.
Gently touching her cheek, Ye Erniang was shocked to find that the scar had disappeared! An immortal, she was already an immortal.
Why was everything so confusing?
Looking at Duan Yu's mischievous grin, Ye Erniang's pretty face suddenly flushed slightly! This man had just kissed her! Judging from his talk of karma, he probably wanted her to follow him.
Follow him? How could that be? But what else could she do if she didn't follow him? He was an immortal? And she had now become an immortal herself because of him. Could she still escape now? Could she still leave him?
Even the ruthless Ye Erniang was at a loss when faced with such an unbelievable situation!
Feeling the immortal energy within her, Ye Erniang sighed helplessly.
"Does this have to end like this?" Ye Erniang asked.
Duan Yu chuckled mischievously, "I can't think of a better solution. Now that you're an immortal, do you think you can run away?"
Ye Erniang rolled her eyes at Duan Yu, "Since you're an immortal, why do you have to scheme against weak women like us!"
"Hahaha... You're a weak woman? Ye Erniang, one of the Four Evils, actually says she's a weak woman? If word got out, I doubt anyone would believe it," Duan Yu said with a wicked grin. "
Who says no one would believe it! Am I, Ye Erniang, born this wicked?" Ye Erniang glared angrily at Duan Yu.
Duan Yu chuckled, fixing his gaze on Ye Erniang. Suddenly, he reached out and lightly placed his hand on her chin, lifting her beautiful face: "No matter what, you're my woman now."
Ye Erniang felt utterly helpless at Duan Yu's flippant gesture! Having just comprehended the Heavenly Dao, Ye Erniang understood the entanglements of the mortal world! Her past feelings had vanished under the influence of the Heavenly Dao—something Ye Erniang herself couldn't comprehend.
Cause and effect! Cause and effect! For her son's sake, she had to accept this cause and effect! And for this cause and effect, she also had to forget the shadow in her heart.
Glaring fiercely at Duan Yu, Ye Erniang felt a mixture of anger and shame! Awakened by Duan Yu's love within the Heavenly Dao, Duan Yu's image had suddenly appeared in Ye Erniang's heart.
Looking at Duan Yu and then at the Xuan Nu beside her, Ye Erniang shook her head again.
Duan Yu grinned mischievously at Ye Erniang, then glanced at Xuan Nu. With a swift movement, he pulled both of them into his arms, then leaped into the steaming bath with a splash!
Water sprayed everywhere! As the three of them landed, the steaming water immediately splashed onto the shore.
"Duan Yu, you…" Xuan Nu glared at Duan Yu playfully, her eyes full of resentment. This wicked man was simply unbearable; once she let him go, he'd come up with all sorts of wicked schemes.
As they entered the water, Duan Yu continued to hold them close. In a flash of light, his clothes vanished.
"You…" Xuan Nu was mortified. Although it wasn't the first time she'd seen Duan Yu naked, this was definitely the first time she'd seen him so close.
"What… Don't you need to take off your clothes to bathe? Hehe, Xuan Nu, do you want me to help you undress?" Duan Yu said with a wicked grin.
"Don't even think about it… You lecherous scoundrel, you're too naughty…" Xuan Nu retorted angrily.
"This isn't how a Mystic Maiden should act! How can you say that to me?" Duan Yu said, putting his arm around the Mystic Maiden.
Ye Erniang's pretty face was also flushed! Heavens! This man is too bold! She hadn't known him for very long, and he had already reacted like this!
Ye Erniang desperately wanted to leave, but she found herself suddenly unable to move. She couldn't muster any strength, undoubtedly due to this man's tampering!
"Let me go first," Xuan Nu said, her voice filled with shame and indignation.
"Let you go, and you'll run away! I won't!" Duan Yu said domineeringly, not only refusing to let go but also pulling Xuan Nu even tighter into his arms.
Xuan Nu glared angrily at Duan Yu, her pretty face growing increasingly red! Especially when she saw that shameful thing, Xuan Nu's shy heart panicked even more.
Seeing Xuan Nu's angry expression, Duan Yu suddenly kissed her small lips!
"Mmm..." A soft moan escaped Xuan Nu's lips. This time, Duan Yu didn't just give her a quick
kiss. This time, his kiss was particularly domineering, until Xuan Nu was completely limp on his body, and his hands were already roaming restlessly over Xuan Nu's body.
Caressing Xuan Nu's exquisitely beautiful body, Duan Yu's heart was now burning with boundless passion!
When his hand touched Xuan Nu's soft breasts, Xuan Nu finally glared at Duan Yu fiercely. Then, in a flash of light, Xuan Nu's body disappeared
. Watching Xuan Nu vanish, Duan Yu merely chuckled and turned his gaze to Ye Er Niang's body! How could he possibly devour this beautiful woman if Xuan Nu didn't leave?
Duan Yu knew that Xuan Nu still wouldn't give herself to him completely, so he could only take advantage of her a little. Now
that Xuan Nu was gone, Duan Yu's lust naturally turned to Ye Er Niang.
Duan Yu looked at Ye Er Niang with a wicked smile, pulled her close, and with a wave of his hand, Ye Er Niang immediately regained consciousness.
"Duan Yu, what are you doing?" Ye Er Niang said angrily, looking at Duan Yu.
"What do you think I'm doing?" At this moment, Duan Yu's expression was extremely wicked; he looked like a lecherous devil.
Being held by Duan Yu, clearly feeling his hands roaming over her body, Ye Er Niang's pretty face flushed slightly! A sense of sorrow rose in her heart.
Without a second thought, Duan Yu made his intentions clear to Ye Erniang. He kissed her lips, his hands expertly undressing her.
Under Duan Yu's domineering actions, Ye Erniang was powerless to do anything.
As he undressed her pink clothes, Duan Yu's hands roamed over her smooth body, his gentle teasing captivating Ye Erniang's soul.
She struggled in vain, her movements utterly futile.
When Duan Yu bit her tender nipple, Ye Erniang let out a soft cry! Her entire body went limp in his arms.
Duan Yu's hands roughly kneaded Ye Erniang's buttocks, caressed her thighs, and his fingers stimulated her long-awaited, dry valley.
Ye Erniang bit her lip, trying to stifle her moans. She clearly felt her body beginning to change under Duan Yu's caresses. A gentle stream of fluid flowed from her depths. At this moment, she was already lost in an endless sea of desire, unable to extricate herself. Reason had been consumed by the burning flames of lust, utterly indifferent. Her entire being felt an intense hunger deep within her lower body, waves of overwhelming desire surging forth. In her dazed and confused state, she subconsciously responded, "Is it coming? Come quickly..."
When Duan Yu's fingers brushed against her chrysanthemum bud, Ye Erniang felt a jolt of electricity fill her body and soul.
Her eyes, stimulated by this sudden touch, instantly changed color!
The increasingly provocative stimulation made Ye Erniang's face grow ever redder, until her eyes were completely filled with the color of lust.
The two naked bodies soon became entangled.
Duan Yu thrust his lower body forward, merely gripping his enormous penis, rubbing, bumping, and touching the glans between Ye Erniang's two delicate, bud-like labia until Ye Erniang was breathless, her body trembling, her stunningly beautiful face filled with unbearable torment, and she let out a long string of plaintive moans. Only then did Duan Yu aim his thick, long penis at Ye Erniang's vulva and thrust it in hard!
"Ah..." Ye Erniang let out a pleasurable cry from the depths of her soul.
"Ah...uh...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...uh...uh..." With Duan Yu's thrusting, Ye Erniang began to moan seductively.
She didn't want to moan, but she couldn't control herself.
She still bit her lip lightly, but with Duan Yu's thrusting, she would still open her small mouth and let out seductive moans.
Duan Yu kneaded Ye Erniang's large, jade-like breasts, touching her fair skin.
"Is it beautiful like this?" Duan Yu asked with a wicked smile as he thrust.
Ye Erniang gazed at Duan Yu with infatuation, wanting to deny it, but when Duan Yu thrust forcefully, she couldn't help but nod.
"Want to be even more beautiful?" Duan Yu continued his seductive grin. He thrust deeply into her.
"Mmm..." Ye Erniang nodded again.
Duan Yu kissed Ye Erniang's lips, a deep, passionate kiss followed by a suckling at her breasts.
His thrusts became even faster, each one sending shivers down Ye Erniang's spine.
Each thrust brought her to the brink of ecstasy! In just a few moments, Ye Erniang reached two orgasms.
After dozens of rounds, he shortened the distance, thrusting rapidly and forcefully, leaving the aroused Ye Erniang dizzy and moaning incessantly; while on Duan Yu's smooth, firm buttocks, the bulging muscles twitched incessantly, like a beast in heat, desperately pushing into Ye Erniang's secret place.
Having just experienced two intense stimulations, Ye Erniang's burning sensation hadn't subsided when another storm raged within her vagina. Her sacred flower core was once again subjected to unprecedentedly fierce impacts. The ever-increasing speed and increasingly brutal thrusts made her feel as if Duan Yu's large penis was a scorching pillar of fire, wildly burning, stirring, turning, and surging within her honeyed cave.
Ye Erniang's face flushed crimson with desire, her legs kicking wildly in the air, her body convulsing once more. She cried out in a wanton and seductive voice, "Oh, so itchy... mmm... um... ah... so good... so good!... I'm so swollen... oh... oh... oh...
my good brother... ah... oh... you... so good!... ah... um... oh, oh..." After
a fragrant bath together, Duan Yu helped the still flushed Ye Erniang dress in the clothes prepared by the Seventh Prince.
Once dressed, Ye Erniang faced a dilemma.
She looked at Duan Yu and asked, "Will it be alright to go out like this?" Ye Erniang then touched her cheek, referring to the changes in her body.
"That's easy!" Duan Yu said, waving his hand and casting a hand seal on Ye Erniang's body. Ye Erniang immediately returned to her original form.
At the same time, Duan Yu also transmitted various cultivation techniques and incantations into Ye Erniang's mind.
Feeling those mysterious hand seals, Ye Erniang stared at Duan Yu with a deep gaze. Everything that had just happened was still clearly displayed in her mind. She shook her head, her pretty face flushed.
Just then, a flash of light, and Xuan Nu's figure reappeared in Duan Yu and Duan Yu's sight.
Xuan Nu glared at Duan Yu resentfully, her eyes filled with annoyance. How could she not understand what this big bad guy had planned? Now everything had already happened.
Looking at Xuan Nu, Ye Erniang's eyes flashed with an unnatural expression, and she couldn't help but look at Duan Yu. She had always been puzzled. Although she had witnessed Duan Yu's extraordinary abilities, how did he have a connection with the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden? It seemed the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden had been letting him do as he pleased.
The Mystic Maiden wasn't a mortal like herself; how could Duan Yu have tricked her?
"Duan Yu, if you do this again, I really won't talk to you anymore!" Xuan Nu said angrily.
"Of course there won't be a next time," Duan Yu said seriously, gently pulling Xuan Nu into his arms. Xuan Nu only struggled symbolically, rolled her eyes at Duan Yu, and sighed softly. This man had her completely under his thumb. Even if she threatened him, would it really have any effect? Thinking about how he had just touched her body, Xuan Nu felt a sudden fright and panic. That feeling was truly too strange.
"Don't be angry. I promise you I will keep my word. As long as you don't agree, don't worry, I will never force you," Duan Yu said.
"Then what were you doing just now..." Xuan Nu glared at Duan Yu.
"Hehe, I wanted to measure my future wife's figure!" Duan Yu said with a mischievous smile.
Xuan Nu scoffed, "What future wife? You're talking nonsense."
"Yes, yes!! I was talking nonsense. It should be future immortal couple," Duan Yu said.
Xuan Nu rolled her eyes at Duan Yu and ignored his antics. Instead, she turned to Ye Erniang and said, "Don't be so reserved. That's how bad people are. You'll understand everything if you follow him."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ye Erniang replied respectfully.
"No need for that. Just call me Xuan Nu. With your current status, there's no need to be formal," Xuan Nu said softly.
A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Erniang's eyes. Xuan Nu's words meant that she had completely acknowledged her status. A glint flashed in Ye Erniang's eyes. She wasn't overly reserved; she had been quite shocked to learn that Xuan Nu was the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, but now, having this relationship with Duan Yu, it wasn't so unacceptable! She was now an immortal, so what was there to be reserved about?
The three of them dressed and emerged from the bathroom. As soon as they stepped out, maids greeted them.
Led by the maids, the three of them arrived at a large hall, where food and wine had already been prepared.
As soon as they entered the hall, Prince Qiwan greeted them with a smile and said to Duan Yu, "Your Majesty, did you enjoy your bath?"
"Hehe, not bad, Your Highness's bathroom is truly excellent," Duan Yu replied with a smile.
"Don't mention it, I was afraid of neglecting Your Majesty! Come, Your Majesty, please sit!" the prince invited Duan Yu to take the seat.
Duan Yu didn't refuse and immediately sat in the head seat, with Xuan Nu and Ye Erniang sitting beside him.
"Your Majesty, please enjoy the dishes! These are all dishes I had prepared by the imperial chefs. Please try them," said Prince Qiwan with a smile.
After a few rounds of drinks, Duan Yu and Prince Qiwan had become quite familiar with each other. After some conversation, Duan Yu found Prince Qiwan to be very witty and talkative.
Prince Qiwan also found that Duan Yu was the same.
At this moment, the two were talking about topics between men.
"With the Empress accompanying Your Majesty, do you really dare to go drinking with courtesans?" Prince Qiwan said with a laugh.
"Hehe, a beautiful lady is sought after by a gentleman. I have long heard that Suzhou and Hangzhou in the Song Dynasty are famous for their beauties. Now that I am here, of course I must go and have a look around," said Duan Yu. "
Hehe, Your Majesty has quite the refined taste. In that case, I will take Your Majesty out for a good stroll tomorrow!" said Prince Qiwan.
"I'm just afraid that the Princess will scold me then!" said Duan Yu. "By the way, where is the Princess Consort?"
"My wife is longing for her son and is currently keeping Tian'er company. She cannot come out to see His Majesty, so His Majesty must atone for her." The Prince said with a smile.
"What are you saying? This time, it is I who have frightened Your Majesty. My consort was born a woman of the martial world and suffered some trauma in the past, which is why she sometimes suddenly becomes neurotic. This time, she even dared to snatch the young prince without permission, which has really caused trouble for Your Majesty." Duan Yu said.
"Consort?" Seventh Prince looked surprised. Seventh Prince knew very well who Ye Erniang was.
"Yes, she is a consort I just took in not long ago." Duan Yu said.

Chapter 202
Seventh Prince said with a smile: "So that's how it is. It's no wonder that the Princess Consort is in such a predicament. It is Tian'er's blessing to have the Princess Consort's favor!"
Seeing Seventh Prince like this, Duan Yu became even more interested in him. Seventh Prince's cunning was indeed extraordinary. Duan Yu didn't believe that Master Qiwan hadn't thoroughly investigated Ye Erniang's identity.
"Hehe, Your Highness is too kind. It's all because my beloved concubine is being mischievous," Duan Yu said with a smile.
After some pleasantries and the dinner, Master Qiwan had rooms arranged for the three of them. Then he took his leave.
It was a rather luxuriously decorated room! Several large red lanterns hung at the entrance, and the room was filled with various valuable paintings and calligraphy, as well as rare antiques. These were all decorative items. On a beam inside the room were four large gilded characters: "Dragon and Phoenix Bring Auspiciousness!"
A luxurious large bed stood prominently inside.
Duan Yu, Xuan Nu, and Ye Erniang were standing in the room. Ye Erniang still looked somewhat uneasy, while Xuan Nu glared fiercely at Duan Yu, looking at him helplessly. Now that she was with him, she had to cooperate with him.
"Ladies, shouldn't we rest now?" Duan Yu said mischievously to the two of them.
Xuan Nu rolled her eyes at Duan Yu and said, "Don't you dare
have any bad intentions." "What bad intentions do I have? I just want the two beauties to rest. Don't you know that sleep is the most important thing for women? Staying up late will cause wrinkles," Duan Yu said seriously.
Xuan Nu and Ye Erniang giggled at the same time. They were immortals, how could they experience the same things as mortals?
"Duan Yu, tell me what you're planning to do?" Xuan Nu asked seriously.
"Let's stay in this palace for a few days first. Then we'll go find Empress Dowager Xiao," Duan Yu said. "What do you think of this Master Qiwan?"
"This Master Qiwan must have quite a bit of ambition. The fact that he was able to suppress the matter of his son being stolen so easily shows that he's not simple!" Xuan Nu said.
"This Master Qiwan is certainly not simple, but he's nothing to us! Could he possibly ruin our plans?" Duan Yu chuckled and pulled Ye Erniang down to sit in a chair.
Ye Erniang's pretty face flushed slightly, but she didn't struggle. She just looked at Duan Yu with a puzzled expression and asked, "What are you all talking about?"
"Hehe, I can't tell you for now. Just listen obediently," Duan Yu said with a smile.
Ye Erniang was surprised upon hearing this, but she didn't ask any more questions. Duan Yu and Xuan Nu were not people she fully understood.
"Disrupting the plan is of course impossible, but Duan Yu, I still don't know what you plan to do!" Xuan Nu said.
"That depends on the situation in Khitan. Last time I sent people from the Seventy-Two Caves to infiltrate Khitan, and so far there has been no concrete news. It seems that things haven't completely changed there yet. We'll wait until there's turmoil in Khitan before making any decisions!" Duan Yu said.
"Aren't you going to go and take a look?" Xuan Nu asked.
"Didn't you say it was to be done secretly? Anyway, my subordinates are handling it, why should I make an extra trip!" Duan Yu said.
"Be careful your plans don't change!" Xuan Nu said seriously.
"It shouldn't be. As long as the people from the Seventy-Two Caves do as I say, there won't be any problems," Duan Yu said confidently.
"Are you that confident?" Xuan Nu said.
"Of course!"
Duan Yu said with a smile. Xuan Nu shook her head and glanced at Duan Yu, saying, "Since you're so confident, then I won't say anything more! I'm leaving now!" Xuan Nu said, and was about to disappear.
But before she could move, Duan Yu grabbed her.
"Is sleeping with me that scary to you?" Duan Yu pulled Xuan Nu's body onto his lap as well.
Xuan Nu blushed and looked at Ye Erniang, who was also uneasy, saying, "Aren't you afraid I'll ruin your plans?"
"I don't need to do that every night," Duan Yu said.
"You promise you won't do that tonight. If you dare to deliberately provoke me, I... humph..."
"Hehe, of course. Alright, ladies, let's go to sleep." Duan Yu finished speaking and, with a swift movement, appeared on the bed with the two women in his arms.
Xuan Nu looked shyly at Duan Yu, this wicked man, who wouldn't let go of any opportunity to take advantage of her.
"Do you want me to help you take off your clothes?" Duan Yu said with a wicked smile.
Xuan Nu glared at Duan Yu fiercely, and had no choice but to reluctantly take off her outer garment. The moment she untied her belt, Xuan Nu's heart was filled with immense shyness, and her hands trembled slightly.
With a wave of her hand, the burning candle was completely extinguished. Although Xuan Nu knew that Duan Yu could still see clearly, at least her heart felt a little better.
After taking off her outer garment and shoes, Xuan Nu found herself suddenly pulled into Duan Yu's arms, and then a passionate kiss was already on her fragrant lips.
"Mmm..." Feeling Duan Yu's passionate kiss again, Xuan Nu felt shy but didn't resist much.
Duan Yu, being rather proper, only kissed her fragrant lips, and his hand, which was holding her delicate body, did not provoke her in the slightest.
Xuan Nu's heart calmed down, and as if rewarding Duan Yu with a glance, her tongue actively intertwined with his, making Duan Yu's heart itch with desire. He longed to just push this beauty down! But Duan Yu knew it was still not possible now.
Xuan Nu's actions towards him were already the limit; he should take it slow. One should be content.
This kiss left Xuan Nu breathless.
*****
It was a peaceful night, a night that soothed the heart, and a night that kept Xuan Nu's heart restless.
The night finally passed slowly! Xuan Nu slept soundly in the silence, the most peaceful night she had ever slept in millions of years. A serene smile remained on Xuan Nu's lips throughout the night. She gently rested her head on Duan Yu's chest, her arms around his waist.
Ye Erniang also slept peacefully that night!
***
The next morning! The weather was fine and sunny.
Xuan Nu awoke from her sleep, and the first thing she saw upon waking was Duan Yu's tender eyes. The instant she opened her eyes, she found herself being kissed again.
Xuan Nu blinked, responding to Duan Yu's kiss.
Her pretty face was flushed, making her look incredibly cute. Xuan Nu had never known she could have this side to her, that she could cling to a man's arms so affectionately.
At this moment, Xuan Nu found that her body was almost completely pressed against Duan Yu's, her two jade-like legs wrapped around his.
Xuan Nu almost wanted to disappear into the ground in embarrassment.
Releasing Xuan Nu's lips, Duan Yu looked at her with a hint of reproach and said, "Do you know how hard I had to endure last night?"
"Hehehe..." Xuan Nu giggled and said, "Anyway, you made a promise, so even if it was hard, you had to endure it."
"With a beauty like you in my arms, I'm actually quite content, but don't deliberately provoke me because of my promise," Duan Yu said mischievously.
Hearing Duan Yu's words, Xuan Nu blushed. Only then did she clearly feel the hard, erect penis beneath her jade-like legs.
What was that? Xuan Nu knew very well. Her face turned even redder. It seemed she had really made things more difficult for this wicked man.
"So, are you regretting it? I already said I wouldn't stay with you! You still wanted me to sleep with you, and now that I've ruined your plans, you're blaming me. In that case, I'll find a place myself tonight. Anyway, we immortals don't really sleep." Xuan Nu said coquettishly.
"How could I regret it!" Duan Yu said softly, embracing her. "A peerless fairy like you, I won't let you get away. Being able to sleep with me is a blessing I, Duan Yu, have accumulated over several lifetimes."
Xuan Nu scoffed, "Always so sweet-talking!"
While the two were talking, Ye Erniang had actually woken up. Had she really just woken up? Then why was her face flushed? What was hidden behind this? Perhaps only Duan Yu and she knew.
***
In the following days, Duan Yu and Xuan Nu stayed at the Seventh Prince's mansion. Duan Yu spent his days strolling around with the Seventh Prince, and as they wandered, rumors spread throughout Kaifeng that a peerless beauty had emerged from the Seventh Prince's mansion.
Everyone who saw Xuan Nu was captivated.
The entire city of Kaifeng was practically in an uproar because Xuan Nu's beauty was simply too stunning!
As Xuan Nu's fame spread, many high-ranking officials and nobles began to visit the Seventh Prince. These were all powerful figures; ordinary people dared not disturb the Seventh Prince.
Then, one day, an imperial edict suddenly arrived, summoning the Seventh Prince to bring Xuan Nu to the palace to meet the Emperor.
The moment the Seventh Prince received the edict, his face did not show shock, but rather an extremely strange expression!
The fact that a beautiful woman had been rumored to have reached the Emperor's ears by those idle people was something the Seventh Prince had long suspected, but when it actually happened, he felt something was amiss.
This beauty is no ordinary person; she's the Imperial Consort of Dali. No one knows who reported this to the Emperor, but whoever did, they're likely in deep trouble.
The moment he received the imperial edict, a ruthless glint appeared in Seventh Prince's eyes! Imperial power! Imperial power! The Empress Dowager is currently in power, and who knows what will happen if she passes away? Seventh Prince and several other princes are well aware of this.
Who knows when the Emperor might be deposed by the Empress Dowager!
Of course, along with the strangeness, he was also confused. The Emperor didn't seem like the type to be lustful. Why would he suddenly make such a decision?
But honestly, this Xuan Nu is simply too beautiful! Even he himself is captivated by her. If it weren't for his resolute will, he probably would have already broken the rules.
In fact, this was Seventh Prince's true thought! With Xuan Nu's stunning beauty, how could Seventy Thousand Lords not be captivated? However, as a member of the royal family, he understood perfectly well what he should and shouldn't do; what truly mattered to him was ambition.
Duan Yu understood this, and so did Xuan Nu!
During his time at Lord Qiwan's residence, Duan Yu taught Ye Erniang the use of magic and explained everything to her. Ye Erniang had already returned to Mandala Manor.
Duan Yu's explanation for Ye Erniang's sudden disappearance was that his beloved concubine, being naturally restless, had gone off to travel the world again. Lord Qiwan didn't ask any further questions, but he was puzzled because no one had noticed how Ye Erniang had left.
Of course they couldn't! Because Ye Erniang had been directly teleported there by Duan Yu.
As Xuan Nu's fame grew, Duan Yu was actually slightly annoyed, because this made it easy for the Heavenly Court to discover something amiss. Fortunately, Xuan Nu's magic was inherently strong; with her aura concealed, ordinary immortals couldn't detect that she was an immortal.

Chapter 203
"Hehe... interesting, interesting... hahaha..." When Duan Yu heard that the Emperor wanted to summon Xuan Nu to the palace, Duan Yu laughed heartily. He was just planning to get to know the emperor directly, but unexpectedly, the emperor had come to bully him first.
Summoning the Xuan Nu to the palace—didn't he even know who he was!
Seeing Duan Yu's laughter, a glint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please don't be too angry. It must have been some ignorant servant who reported this to the Emperor! How could he know this was the Imperial Concubine!"
Duan Yu waved his hand and said, "It's alright, it's alright. But since the Emperor has summoned me, let's go together. I also want to see His Majesty the Emperor. Having been in the Central Plains for so long, as a friendly neighbor, I should have paid my respects to the Emperor of the Great Song long ago!"
"In that case, Your Majesty, please come with me to the palace." With that, Seventh Prince ordered a sedan chair to be prepared.
Although the Emperor hadn't summoned Duan Yu, Seventh Prince didn't think he had done anything wrong by bringing Duan Yu along! What a joke! The Emperor of a nation, openly summoning another's concubine in front of the ruler of another country—this was simply provocation! At this moment, Prince Qiwan was actually very curious about the Emperor's reaction when he learned that Duan Yu was the Emperor of Dali. Especially the Empress Dowager—how would she react when she learned of the Emperor's absurd behavior?
Regardless of the situation, Prince Qiwan knew that the Emperor was in deep trouble this time! Given the Empress Dowager's strictness and her approach to politics and state affairs, she would absolutely not allow the Emperor to provoke other countries like this.
Although Dali was a small country, don't forget that Dali has always been a land of martial arts! The Duan family were originally martial artists! In terms of martial arts masters, the Dali Duan family was definitely among the best!
Such provocation meant that even if their military strength couldn't match yours, assassinations by martial arts masters were impossible to guard against!
Furthermore, as the saying goes, "a single hair can move the whole body," if the two countries really went to war, the Western Xia and Khitan, who were already eyeing the Song Dynasty with predatory intent, might attack simultaneously at the same time. That would be a terrible situation.
The prince's thoughts raced through his mind. Duan Yu, however, sat comfortably in the sedan chair, his arm around Xuan Nu.
Xuan Nu rested her head gently on Duan Yu's shoulder. During their time together, Xuan Nu finally understood why so many women in the world were ensnared by love!
She finally understood why so many celestial maidens in Heaven longed for the mortal realm—this was what love was like. The more time she spent with Duan Yu, the more Xuan Nu realized she couldn't live without him. She had become accustomed to everything about him, and with each passing day, Xuan Nu was increasingly experiencing the emotions of a mortal woman!
She discovered that she too could be sentimental! She realized that she was, in fact, just an ordinary woman.
"If only the Heavenly Dao weren't so cruel," Xuan Nu murmured.
"It would be wonderful, but isn't the Heavenly Dao cruel? The rules of the Heavenly Dao are, after all, rules. If everyone could transcend the rules of the Heavenly Dao, then the world wouldn't be as wonderful as we imagine," Duan Yu said, looking at Xuan Nu's beautiful face.
Xuan Nu shook her head and said, "People always say that all three thousand paths lead to immortality, but after becoming an immortal, there are even greater constraints! The Heavenly Dao! It's impossible for anyone to wholeheartedly pursue the Heavenly Dao. In the process of pursuing the Heavenly Dao, there will always be countless tribulations! Those who overcome them are over, but those who don't are left with only death. Heaven and earth are cold and ruthless, the Heavenly Dao is ethereal and illusory! Alas..."
Duan Yu affectionately stroked Xuan Nu's hair and smiled, saying, "This isn't the ancient goddess Xuan Nu, is she?
" Xuan Nu gave Duan Yu a playful glare and said, "Do you still consider me your sister Xuan Nu?"
"Of course I do. In my heart, you are actually my closest person! The karmic ties in the dark have already bound our fates together completely," Duan Yu said.
Xuan Nu's pretty face flushed slightly as she leaned tenderly on Duan Yu's shoulder, her slender hand clasped in his large hand, their fingers intertwined and tightly held together.
"In this life, you and I are entangled in karma; our red thread is bound by the karmic law of Heaven. I wonder what the Old Man of the Moon's reaction will be when he senses all this. I think he'll be quite shocked," the Mystic Maiden said with a smile.
"Oh? Your marriage is also governed by the Old Man of the Moon?" Duan Yu asked疑惑地问道.
"It's not being governed, but rather a mysterious connection by the karmic law. The Old Man of the Moon has the most special status in Heaven; no one can do anything to him because no one wants to be entangled in karma. In terms of karma in the world, the Old Man of the Moon has the deepest karmic ties. His innate treasure, the Red Thread of the Moon, is truly too strange!" the Mystic Maiden said. Duan Yu's
eyes lit up upon hearing this, "This is a good thing!"
The Mystic Maiden lightly pursed her lips, "You wouldn't be trying to steal this Red Thread of the Moon, would you?"
"Hehe..." Duan Yu chuckled mischievously but didn't deny it.
Seeing Duan Yu like this, Xuan Nu angrily pinched his waist and said, "I knew I shouldn't have told you! You're such a person, everyone else keeps their distance, but you insist on having it!"
"I was just thinking about it, I'm not really going to steal it," Duan Yu said with a smile.
"Really?" Xuan Nu asked incredulously.
"Of course it's true!" Duan Yu said.
Xuan Nu shook her head and said, "It would be strange if I believed you." As she said this, there was an indescribable resentment in Xuan Nu's voice, and at the same time, her heart was filled with shyness. During this time, while staying at the Seventh Prince's mansion, Xuan Nu had been sharing a bed with Duan Yu. At first, with Ye Erniang around, Duan Yu wasn't too unrestrained. But after Ye Erniang suddenly left, Xuan Nu realized how wicked this man was.
At first, he was relatively well-behaved, but later, his wicked hands would wander over her body at night. Every time, he would make her feel shy and flustered.
Now, aside from not being eaten by this scoundrel, her entire body has been thoroughly explored by him.
Every morning when she wakes up, Xuan Nu would whine coquettishly, because Duan Yu's wicked hand would inevitably have slipped through her clothes and intimately touched her sacred goddess peaks.
Thinking of this, Xuan Nu's ears turned red. She gave Duan Yu a resentful glare and stopped talking to him, simply leaning quietly against his chest.
After a while, Duan Yu chuckled softly and said, "What do you think the emperor's reaction will be when he sees you?"
"Emperors in the mortal world have always been lustful. Which emperor doesn't have three thousand beauties in his harem! Even the least lustful emperor has an astonishing number of women! Back then, King Zhou angered Nuwa with a single poem, and in his anger, the entire Shang Dynasty changed." Xuan Nu said.
"Nuwa was able to start the Investiture of the Gods in a fit of anger, so what does our Xuan Nu intend to do?" Duan Yu asked with a grin.
Xuan Nu glared at Duan Yu, then suddenly smiled charmingly, "I'm your woman now. How you deal with the emperor is up to you. Hehehe... Sister Nuwa had the great achievement of initiating the Investiture of the Gods, you can't be worse than her. Otherwise, I won't agree. If you don't do it to my satisfaction, you'll sleep alone tonight!"
Duan Yu was stunned and said bitterly, "No way! I can't be worse than Sister Nuwa, Sister Xuan Nu, aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me? Now you want me to achieve the body of the Human Emperor, and you also want me not to be worse than Sister Nuwa, I can't do that. If it's about initiating the Investiture of the Gods again, I can do that instantly. But to be comparable to the Investiture of the Gods, and to not let things get too big, there's really no way." Duan Yu shook his head repeatedly after speaking, this was really too difficult.
"Hehe...who told you to be so naughty. If you can do it, I can...I can reward you tonight..." Xuan Nu whispered the last sentence close to Duan Yu's ear.
Duan Yu's heart ignited instantly. Xuan Nu's reward! That wasn't something just anyone could get. Although he had already brazenly caressed Xuan Nu's body, he hadn't actually seen her most perfect form! Even now, Xuan Nu still hadn't removed her undergarments; there was always a final restraint before they slept.
His eyes lit up as Duan Yu looked at Xuan Nu's beautiful face and said, "Can you tell me what the reward is?"
Xuan Nu charmingly shook her head and playfully tapped Duan Yu's nose with her slender hand, saying coquettishly, "I won't tell you, just know it won't be low." A glint of desire rose in Xuan Nu's eyes.
Good heavens! Duan Yu was stunned. Seeing that glint of desire, Duan Yu's fighting spirit soared.
What kind of reward would it be? What kind of expectation? There was even a hint of lust in Xuan Nu's eyes—did it mean he could devour her?! The more he thought about it, the hotter he became!
Along with the heat, Duan Yu also felt a pang of resentment! He stared resentfully at Xuan Nu, sighing. Ancient goddesses were so difficult to conquer. They were nothing compared to mortal women. There
was nothing he could do; her magic was powerful, and her will was unwavering. Even his forceful attempts to seduce her were futile. One spell from her, and... aha! He couldn't do anything!
Thinking of this, Duan Yu was extremely frustrated! Every time he truly offended Xuan Nu, or angered her, he wouldn't even have the chance for intimate contact with Goddess Peak that night. Because he couldn't enter her celestial robes. He didn't even know what materials Xuan Nu's undergarments were made of!
What grade were they? Duan Yu still didn't understand!
How could he do it? Duan Yu's mind raced. It seemed he really had to start calculating! What could be comparable to the Investiture of the Gods?
Duan Yu shook his head, unable to think of anything for the moment.
Xuan Nu smiled gently, looking at Duan Yu tenderly. A sweet feeling welled up in her heart; the more she felt this way, the more important she
was to this villain! She couldn't let him get away with this; otherwise, he would become increasingly audacious. However, the thought of the price she would have to pay if he succeeded made Xuan Nu hesitate. Should she really do that?
After thinking for a moment and looking at the frowning Duan Yu, Xuan Nu made up her mind. So be it. As long as this villain didn't break the rules too much, rewarding him wouldn't hurt. After all, were they still really that close? Even if she didn't reward him, with time, she would eventually submit to him completely.
The two remained silent, and they arrived at the palace during their silence. As the sedan chair stopped, Duan Yu and Xuan Nu stepped out.
Lord Qi Wan also stepped out of his sedan chair, smiling at the two.

Chapter 204
As the three walked out, a eunuch had already come forward to greet them.
"This servant greets Your Highness!" The speaker was called Xiao Chunzi.
"No need for formalities," the prince said.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Xiao Chunzi said respectfully. After speaking, Xiao Chunzi prepared to search Duan Yu and the others according to palace rules.
Duan Yu frowned and looked at the prince.
Prince Qiwan immediately smiled bitterly. This was a palace rule, and Prince Qiwan believed that Dali should also have this rule, but the emperor was not foolish enough to bring weapons to assassinate him.
He immediately glared at Xiao Chunzi.
Xiao Chunzi was stunned and hesitated, looking at the prince carefully, "Your Highness, this..."
"I will take full responsibility if anything happens. Do you think I have any ulterior motives?" Prince Qiwan snorted coldly.
"Of course not!" Xiao Chunzi hurriedly said, but his face was still not good. Not following the rules could cost him his head.
"If you don't step aside, can you bear the responsibility of delaying my audience with the Emperor?" said Prince Qiwan.
"No...no...this servant wouldn't dare," Xiaochunzi said in great fear. Although unwilling, seeing the prince's firmness, he dared not say anything more. He immediately let Duan Yu and the other two enter.
This was Duan Yu's second time in the palace, and he was quite familiar with everything around him.
The prince looked at Duan Yu's calm expression, and was slightly surprised, but not too astonished.
The three of them quickly followed a eunuch to the imperial study!
"Your Highness, please wait a moment!" the eunuch said and went inside to report. Duan Yu
didn't mind this at all, and just looked at the prince with a smile. After a while, a voice came from inside: "Summoning Prince Qiwan and Xuan Nu to an audience."
This time, Duan Yu was not summoned in! Heh, a summons! Even with a summons, neither Duan Yu nor Xuan Nu moved. Their status was not something that could be easily mobilized by a summons.
The prince glanced at the two of them, and then walked in himself.
Upon entering the imperial study, Zhao Xu was seen sitting on a dragon throne.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject greets you! Long live the Emperor!" Seventh Prince bowed slightly.
"Seventh Brother, no need for such formalities. By the way, where is Xuan Nu?" the Emperor asked, frowning slightly.
Seventh Prince sighed bitterly, "Your Majesty, you have no idea who she is. It's not that Xuan Nu doesn't want to see you, but she is already waiting outside."
"Oh! What did you call her? You called her 'Your Majesty'?" A hint of doubt flashed in Zhao Xu's eyes.
"Your Majesty is unaware, but Xuan Nu is originally the Imperial Consort of Dali. Emperor Duan Yu of Dali and Xuan Nu are waiting outside!" Seventh Prince said.
"What did you say!" Zhao Xu stood up in shock. "The Emperor and Empress of Dali! Go... hurry and go out to greet them!"
Zhao Xu's face changed drastically, turning slightly pale. The Emperor and Empress of Dali had actually come to his palace without his knowledge. Most importantly, he had forcibly summoned their Empress to see him. This was terrible! If the Empress Dowager found out, Zhao Xu couldn't even imagine the consequences. Last time, when
the dragon's aura clashed in the palace, he thought it was a sign of his rise to power. But with the defeat of the dragon's aura, Zhao Xu clearly understood his weakness! The imperial power was still in the hands of the Empress Dowager. Knowing this, although Zhao Xu still had an absolute passion for imperial power, he no longer had
the intense desire of before. That's why he chose to indulge himself a little, but unexpectedly, this indulgence had brought him trouble.
This time, he suddenly heard that a peerless beauty had appeared in Kaifeng, and this beauty was even living in the residence of Lord Qiwan. If it were just a beautiful woman
, it wouldn't have mattered much. But the servants described her as being as beautiful as a celestial being. He didn't believe it at first, but after some investigation, he came to believe it too; she truly was as beautiful as the world's best. That's why he issued an edict ordering Lord Qiwan to bring Xuan Nu to an audience. He thought that once he acted this way, the beauty would definitely be his. But little did he know that such a blunder would occur. This beauty was actually the Empress of Dali! Zhao Xu believed that Lord Qiwan would never dare to lie to him. Therefore, the beauty must be the Empress of Dali.
With a shocked expression, Zhao Xu and Lord Qiwan arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Study, just in time to see Duan Yu embracing Xuan Nu, leisurely enjoying the scenery outside the Imperial Study.
The moment Zhao Xu saw Xuan Nu's face, his heart was shaken! What a peerless beauty! Looking at Xuan Nu's unparalleled beauty, Zhao Xu suddenly felt as if his soul was trembling.
Looking at Xuan Nu's face, Zhao Xu suddenly felt as if his life had a purpose for the first time. This was the kind of beloved concubine an emperor should have!
At this moment, Zhao Xu was intoxicated! He was truly intoxicated! Such a peerless beauty existed in the world.
He had to have her! This thought was now deeply rooted in Zhao Xu's heart! He had to have her, even at the cost of everything.
As the saying goes, "He loves the country more than the beauty!" At this moment, Zhao Xu's ambition for imperial power completely transformed into his affection for Xuan Nu.
At this moment, Zhao Xu seemed possessed; a ruthless glint suddenly rose in his heart. Even knowing that the other party was the Emperor of Dali, even knowing that the other party was the Empress of Dali! Zhao Xu looked at Duan Yu embracing Xuan Nu. A bloodthirsty glint of jealousy flashed in his eyes!
Following behind Zhao Xu, Master Qiwan immediately sensed the change in Zhao Xu's aura! The emperor's aura had changed in an instant.
A secret smile appeared on Master Qiwan's lips! It seems this beauty truly is poison to all rulers!
"How dare you! You dare to casually embrace my newly chosen concubine! Guards, seize this man!" Zhao Xu's cold voice suddenly rang out. At this, Zhao Xu's anger surged, and malice arose from his heart. A terrifying glint flashed in his eyes. Judging from this, only the Seventh Prince knew this man's identity. Therefore, the Emperor of Dali must have been traveling incognito, meaning that if he handled things properly, no one would know he had killed him! The emperor's heart turned extremely cold!
Although he hadn't wielded absolute power, he had long since honed the ruthless aura of an emperor.
As Zhao Xu finished speaking, the surrounding imperial guards instantly surrounded Duan Yu and Xuan Nu.
"Hehehe… Zhao Xu, what are you doing?" Duan Yu laughed, looking at Zhao Xu. As the Emperor of Dali, Duan Yu's address to Zhao Xu was not inappropriate. After all, Dali and the Song Dynasty had no political ties; the Song Dynasty was not subordinate to it.
"How dare you address me by my name like that! You're courting death! Guards, kill him on the spot!" Zhao Xu said coldly, his face as cold as frost.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" A cold voice rang out, and Yang Tian, the commander of the Imperial Guards, immediately drew his long sword and slashed at Duan Yu's body.
Zhao Xu wore an extremely cruel smile; he could almost see Duan Yu falling. As long as he dealt with the Emperor of Dali, the beauty would be his for the taking. Only this Seventy Thousand Lord, hmph! At this moment, Zhao Xu already had a plan. If he knew what was good for him, great; if he didn't know what was good for him, Zhao Xu would kill him immediately. Now, Zhao Xu's heart had become completely ruthless. At this moment, for the sake of Xuan Nu, he even had the idea of killing the Empress Dowager and seizing power directly.
This was something no one could have predicted!
If Duan Yu knew that all of this was forced out of him by Xuan Nu, he would definitely laugh out loud. In history, Zhao Xu, for the throne, went to see the Empress Dowager with a long sword, and finally angered the Empress Dowager to death! At this moment, he was completely led by Xuan Nu towards history.
Seeing the long sword coming at him, Duan Yu showed no intention of dodging, still smiling as he looked at Zhao Xu!
"Clang!" The sound of metal clashing rang out. The long sword suddenly broke in two! Yang Tian's expression changed, looking at Duan Yu in disbelief.
And it wasn't just him! The surrounding guards and Zhao Xu all looked at Duan Yu in astonishment.
"Kill! Kill him!" Zhao Xu was like a gambler at this moment!
With his shout, the surrounding soldiers attacked Duan Yu.
"Be careful not to hurt my beauty!" Zhao Xu called out again.
Shaking his head slightly, Duan Yu waved his right hand, casting a hand seal in all directions. The first thing to do was to shield himself from the detection of the immortals and gods!
After casting the hand seal, Duan Yu waved his hand again, casting another hand seal, and softly shouted, "Freeze!" With this shout, the surrounding attacking soldiers all stopped moving. Each one maintained a fixed posture.
Everything around them changed completely in that instant. This was no longer the scene from before, but a starry sky shimmering with seven-colored light! All of this was the work of a restriction.
"Demon... demon..." Zhao Xu's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed in horror, "Seventh Brother, how dare you! Why did you plot against me!" Zhao Xu turned to Seventh Prince and said coldly. Zhao Xu completely blamed Seventh Prince for everything.
At this moment, Seventh Prince was also shocked!
The reason he was so calm was because he also knew martial arts! To be honest, he didn't take the Imperial Guards seriously either, but now, seeing Duan Yu's bizarre abilities, he was horrified.
What kind of methods were these? What kind of abilities were these?
This was simply like a god-like existence.
Lord Qiwan took a deep breath, ignoring Zhao Xu, and stared blankly at the Mysterious Maiden in Duan Yu's arms. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he exclaimed, "You are the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden!"
The Mysterious Maiden smiled gently and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness." Lord
Qiwan immediately bowed deeply, "Mortal Zhao Kuo greets the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden."
In the Song Dynasty at that time, people knelt before Heaven, Earth, and their parents, and also before immortals and gods.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden was a legendary figure! She was a goddess revered by all. Her name had been passed down since the time of the Yellow Emperor's battle against Chiyou.
For the Chinese people, the reverence for the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden was no less than that for Nuwa! That was why Lord Qiwan bowed so deeply.
"You're the Goddess Xuan Nu? How could that be? How could that be? Aren't you the Empress of Dali? Hahaha... You're all demons! Keep acting, keep acting. I, Zhao Xu, am the son of the true dragon, I, Zhao Xu, am the true Son of Heaven, ordained by Heaven. Do you think you can fool me like this?" Zhao Xu laughed loudly.
"Zhao Xu, I wasn't planning on dealing with you. Last time I came to the palace and absorbed your true dragon energy, I felt quite guilty. But this time, you provoked me, so I have no choice but to take your life!
Don't worry, I won't let your soul be scattered, but I also can't let you go to the underworld like this. You, just come in here obediently." Duan Yu finished speaking and with a wave of his right hand, the God-Slaying Spear appeared in his hand.
"It was you... it was you who absorbed the true dragon energy, how could it be? How could it be? No! This isn't real, this isn't real!" Zhao Xu said in great fear.
Duan Yu, too lazy to waste words, waved his right hand, instantly stripping Zhao Xu's soul from his grasp. Then, with another flick of his wrist, Zhao Xu's soul was swallowed into the God-Slaying Spear.
As Zhao Xu's soul entered, Duan Yu faintly sensed something. The God-Slaying Spear let out an invigorating roar. Could it be that Zhao Xu's soul was still useful to the God-Slaying Spear?
Shaking his head, confused, Duan Yu didn't dwell on it. He only had the God-Slaying Spear as his magic weapon. To prevent Zhao Xu from ruining things, he could only temporarily subdue him or completely destroy his soul. However, absorbing the True Dragon's Qi last time had created a karmic connection. If he rashly destroyed Zhao Xu's soul, he would incur immense karma. It was best not to destroy his soul; he didn't want to ruin his plans because of that.
Beside him, Zhao Kuo watched Duan Yu's godlike abilities, his eyes constantly shifting.
"Brother Zhao, please get up," Duan Yu said with a smile.
Zhao Kuo glanced at Xuan Nu and, receiving her nod, immediately stood up. However, the situation for both Zhao Kuo and Duan Yu had changed drastically. Initially, Duan Yu was merely the emperor of Dali, and Zhao Kuo hadn't thought much of it. But now that Duan Yu was an immortal, it filled him with fear.
