Wandering the Martial World [Complete] - 9 

Chapter Forty-Two: Caught in Their Own Trap

"So you're also from the Free and Unfettered Sect. No wonder you helped him," Bai Yulou said coldly. "

You're practically an accomplice to a tyrant." "Bai Yulou, you only became the so-called leader of the White Alliance because of good luck. Don't put on airs. In my eyes, your position is worthless," Yue Xiaorou said calmly, but she wasn't afraid to infuriate Bai Yulou.

"Since that's the case, then I won't be polite." Even with his good manners, Bai Yulou probably couldn't stand such sarcasm. "There's

no need for such politeness anymore. There's no need for formalities between us. Enough with the chit-chat, I'll make my move first."

Yue Xiaorou said, already attacking. "

Raising my head, I gaze at the bright moon; lowering my head, I think of my hometown." Yue Xiaorou's internal energy was the Moon Gazing Heart Sutra of the Bright Moon Palace, and her sword technique was the Bright Moon Sword Technique. "When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the blue sky." Yue Xiaorou's sword slashed towards Bai Yulou.

Bai Yulou was no pushover either. Although he didn't ascend to the position of alliance leader through martial arts, if the leader's martial arts were too weak, the others in the White Alliance would naturally lose face. Bai Yulou's position as the second-best on the Green List also indicated that his martial arts were indeed extraordinary. For a time, the two were evenly matched. However, if Bai Yulou couldn't win, then he would have already lost. The dignified leader of the White Alliance, actually unable to defeat a disciple of the Free and Unfettered Sect, wouldn't he be laughed to death?

"Why doesn't Alliance Leader Bai just kill that girl with a single sword strike? Why is he still entangled with her?" Zhan Qingchen asked. Qiu Shuiyao sighed inwardly. Zhan Qingchen was also a master, how could his judgment be so poor? From her observation, Yue Xiaorou didn't seem to be using her full strength, otherwise Bai Yulou might be in trouble. As for why Yue Xiaorou wasn't using her full strength, she didn't understand.

“Among the thirty-six envoys of Mingyue Palace, Yue Xiaorou had the highest martial arts skills and was Xiao Tianci’s favorite,” Yue Xiaomin said from the side, her tone ambiguous.

“Isn’t she from the Xiaoyao Sect? How did she become a member of Mingyue Palace?” Zhan Qingchen asked, but Yue Xiaomin only gave a cold snort and didn’t answer him. It seemed there really was something going on between the two.

“Miss Yue, do you know Yue Xiaorou’s background?” someone interjected, it was the old monk Huijue.

“I was originally of the same status as her, so of course I know. But that was in the past. I don’t know what her current status is.” Yue Xiaomin was quite polite to the old monk.

"So she used to be from the Bright Moon Palace too?" Huijue seemed thoughtful. "It seems the Bright Moon Palace Master, Yue Wuxia, hasn't appeared in the martial world for a long time."

"Huh, where's Xiao Tianci? Where did he go?" Zhan Qingchen exclaimed in surprise. He had just seen him sitting there, and now he had suddenly vanished without a trace, and with so many martial arts masters here, it seemed no one had noticed.

Zhan Qingchen's exclamation not only startled the onlookers but also the two who were still fighting. Yue Xiaorou hurriedly turned around and glanced back, her face showing anxiety. She launched a few fierce attacks and tried to leave.

"Isn't it too late for you to leave now, Miss?" Bai Yulou didn't want to let her go so easily. "If you want to leave, Miss, you should hand over Xiao Tianci first." He had assumed that Yue Xiaorou had somehow gotten rid of Xiao Tianci.

"Bai Yulou, don't lie through your teeth. How did I rescue him?" Yue Xiaorou retorted angrily.

"Of course you didn't rescue him yourself, but he must be your accomplice. Otherwise, how could you coordinate so well?" Bai Yulou said, intensifying his attacks. Yue Xiaorou, whether flustered or nearly struck, was hard to tell.

"Bai Yulou, you asked for this. Don't blame me," Yue Xiaorou muttered resentfully. Her swordsmanship suddenly changed, becoming many times more ferocious than before. Bai Yulou felt the relentless onslaught, each wave of her opponent's true energy growing stronger, and he was on the verge of being overwhelmed.

At this moment, someone intervened. It was Qiu Shuiyao. With a light step, she stepped between the two, separating them and saving Bai Yulou's life, at least preventing him from being humiliated on the spot.

"Spare the rod and spoil the child. You should go find him," Qiu Shuiyao transmitted to Yue Xiaorou. Yue Xiaorou paused slightly, gave Qiu Shuiyao a complicated look, and then turned and sped away.

"Thank you for your help, Fairy Qiu." Bai Yulou was genuinely grateful to Qiu Shuiyao. Only he knew the situation best. Without Qiu Shuiyao's intervention, even if he survived, he would have no face to remain the leader of the Bai Alliance. He was also secretly surprised; Qiu Shuiyao's martial arts were likely far superior to what was rumored, otherwise she wouldn't have separated the two so easily.

"Young Master Bai, you don't need to be so polite. I only hope you remember that you are the leader of the alliance, and the responsibility of fighting against the Demonic Sect still rests on your shoulders. Don't take risks lightly, think things through carefully, and don't let momentary selfishness cloud your judgment." Qiu Shuiyao spoke these words telepathically, but said aloud, "Actually, I'm being nosy. Leader Bai could handle it himself."

"I wonder who rescued Xiao Tianci? Leader Bai, should we go after him?" Zhan Qingchen seemed to have a deep-seated hatred for Xiao Tianci and was unwilling to let him go so easily.

"Fairy Qiu, what do you think we should do?" Bai Yulou was much more respectful to Qiu Shuiyao. Today, he finally realized that Qiu Shuiyao possessed more than just beauty and the influence of her sect; she was also single, and no one should underestimate her.

"Young Master Bai, you should discuss this yourselves. I can't say anything about his affairs." Qiu Shuiyao didn't want to hide it too much now. Since everyone knew her relationship with Xiao Tianci was unusual, she had essentially tacitly agreed. She was confident that no one dared to openly criticize her. However, now that Bai Yulou had asked her, she felt awkward offering her opinion. She sighed inwardly, admiring Bai Yulou's deep cunning while also apologizing to her beloved: "Xiao Lang, I can't help you much. I hope you can get through this difficult time smoothly." Deep down, she believed Xiao Tianci wouldn't do such a thing, but now the evidence was irrefutable, and she was helpless. Who told him to be so foolish as to jump into a trap?

"I've decided that our White Alliance will issue a martial arts wanted notice, mobilizing righteous martial artists to capture Xiao Tianci." Hearing this, Qiu Shuiyao sighed again. Bai Yulou certainly wouldn't let Xiao Tianci off so easily. Once the wanted notice is issued, it's likely that everyone in the martial arts world, regardless of good or evil, will target Xiao Tianci. Apart from the Demonic Sect openly opposing the White Alliance, other sects will still have to give the White Alliance face.

********

Xiao Tianci woke up, his eyes were completely dark, and he felt pain all over his body. He murmured, "Where am I now? Where is Xiao Rou?"

"You're awake." A voice sounded in the room. He recognized the voice, but he was surprised; he never expected it to be her.

"Fairy Qin, did you save me?" It turned out that the one who spoke was Qin Mengru.

"I just took you out when those people weren't paying attention. I can't say I saved you. Your condition is very bad right now, and I couldn't do anything about it." Qin Mengru's tone was worried.

"Fairy Qin, is Xiao Rou alright?" Xiao Tianci thought of Yue Xiaorou.

"With her martial arts skills, there won't be any problems. I can tell Bai Yulou is no match for her," Qin Mengru said calmly.

"When did Xiaorou's martial arts become so high?" Xiao Tianci muttered to himself.

"Don't worry about others, think about yourself. If your injuries aren't treated, I'm afraid you won't last more than a few days." Qin Mengru suddenly felt a little suffocated.

"I know my own injuries. I only had less than 20% of my strength left, and I just took about ten more blows from them. I'm afraid even Xiaoyu couldn't save me now, let alone where they are." Xiao Tianci's tone was low, containing a hint of sadness and helplessness.

"Is it really that serious?" Qin Mengru's voice trembled slightly.

"Yes, but I think there will be a way." Xiao Tianci didn't seem to care much.

"Aren't you worried? Aren't you afraid of dying?" Qin Mengru asked a rather silly question.

"It's impossible not to worry or not afraid of dying. But since there's no other way, what can I do? Actually, I'm already very satisfied with my life, but I really can't bear to leave them." Xiao Tianci's expression was gentle, his heart filled with thoughts of his beloved, though his tone was slow and heavy.

"Actually, you don't need to worry about me. I think I'll be fine." Looking at Qin Mengru, Xiao Tianci smiled and said in a half-joking tone, "Even if I die, having such a beautiful woman like you by my side before I die will be enough for me."

"At a time like this, you still have the mind to talk nonsense." Qin Mengru rolled her eyes at him.

"By the way, Fairy Qin, where are we now?" Xiao Tianci changed the subject.

“Oh, we’re at an inn in the city. The White Alliance is looking for you. I wandered around outside and ended up back here. They probably didn’t expect us to be here,” Qin Mengru said. “Actually, it wasn’t me who wanted to save you. It was Sister Shuiyao who asked me for help. She couldn’t do it herself, so she had to ask me.”

“Yao’er, sigh, I don’t know if she believes me. I’m afraid my reputation in the martial arts world is already ruined.” Xiao Tianci sighed.

“If she didn’t believe you, would she still care about you so much?” Qin Mengru said. “But she’s quite angry with you. How come you have no resistance to pretty girls? Yue Xiaomin seduced you, and you fell for it. Be careful, you’ll die at a woman’s hands one day.” Qin Mengru said angrily.

“I just didn’t expect it.” Xiao Tianci argued softly, but his rebuttal sounded so weak and powerless.

“You rest for a bit, I’ll go out and take a look.” Qin Mengru said after a moment of silence.

"No!" Xiao Tianci blurted out, then suddenly remembered something and lowered his voice, "Fairy Qin, you shouldn't go out. It's already very late. You should go back to your room and rest."

Qin Mengru stared at him for a while, sighed softly, and walked out.

************

A beautiful young girl was aimlessly searching for something in the wilderness. After a while, she came to a forest.

"Come out. You've been following me for a long time." Suddenly, she stopped.

"It seems your martial arts skills are indeed getting higher and higher. I'm afraid there are not many people in the martial arts world who can rival you now." A man emerged from behind a tree.

"Don't flatter me." The girl said coldly, "Did you take him away?"

"Do you think I have such great ability to bring him out in front of everyone?" the man retorted.

"With your martial arts skills, of course you can't do it, but I can't guarantee you haven't used other methods." The girl was still cold.

"Speaking of which, you know me best. But you've got it wrong this time. I really didn't save him. I was hoping he died. Why would I save him?"

"You!" The girl suppressed her anger. "I'll ask you again, were you behind all this framing and slander?"

"Don't get so worked up. It really wasn't me. Although I really wanted to, someone was faster than me, so I was happy to watch the show and see if I could fish in troubled waters." The man looked completely innocent.

"If it wasn't you, then who was it? You wanted him dead so someone would avenge him, and you could sit back and watch the fight, reaping the benefits. Besides us, you're the only one who knows his secret from me. Who else could it be but you?"

"Don't say that. If you can betray him, how can you be sure no one else has? Besides, we're family. You were just one of his concubines there. Do you really need to care so much about him?"

"He's always been good to me, and he'll always be my husband, my only man. Of course I'll care about him. If you do anything outrageous, don't blame me for being ruthless," the girl said coldly.

"Don't scare me. Others may not know you, but I know you well. He dotes on you, huh? I think he'd love you even more if he saw your true face, because you're so much more beautiful than you are now. I just wonder what he'd do if he knew what you'd done behind his back," the man said sarcastically.

"Don't worry, I believe he won't blame me," the girl said coldly. "Also, you and your men had better not follow me anymore, or don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Of course, of course. Strictly speaking, I am your subordinate. I will naturally listen to what you say, but don't forget your identity." The man snorted coldly, turned around, and disappeared from the girl's sight.

The girl stood there blankly for a long time, sighed softly, and finally left as well.

*********

In the inn, Qin Mengru heard some noises coming from the next room and quickly got up to go over, only to find Xiao Tianci curled up in pain, seemingly still shivering.

"What's wrong with you?" Qin Mengru asked with concern.

"I, I'm so cold." Xiao Tianci's teeth chattered.

Chapter 43 Sword Queen's Love

"How are you feeling now?" Qin Mengru saw that his face was blue from the cold, grabbed his hand, and channeled some true energy into him.

"No, it's even colder than before. Don't waste your true energy." Xiao Tianci gritted his teeth and said tremblingly.

"What... what's going on?" Qin Mengru was at a loss, feeling helpless as she looked at Xiao Tianci shivering from the cold.

"It's alright, it'll be fine in a bit. Go back, don't worry," Xiao Tianci said with a forced smile, feeling less cold than before.

"You're like this, and you say you're alright?" Qin Mengru inexplicably became angry.

Once upon a time, she was the beloved princess of the Sword Pavilion, and once upon a time, she was the revered Sword Queen of the martial world. She had never imagined anything could defeat her, yet now she watched helplessly as someone grew so cold, and might even die before her eyes. For the first time, she felt utterly useless.

Xiao Tianci remained silent, feeling even colder now, unable to speak.

"What's wrong?" Qin Mengru asked, seeing his sudden lack of response, but received no answer. She quickly looked down and found that Xiao Tianci had fainted.

What to do? If this continues, he really will die. Qin Mengru struggled internally. Her hands touched Xiao Tianci's body, feeling it growing colder and colder. If there was no other way, he might never wake up again.

Qin Mengru gritted her teeth, burrowed into the covers, and hugged Xiao Tianci tightly. She couldn't think of any other way; this ancient method was the only option.

She felt like she was hugging a block of ice. Fortunately, her internal energy was strong enough to withstand it, but she still felt waves of cold.

Time slowly passed, and Qin Mengru felt the person in her arms gradually warm up. She finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a wave of drowsiness washed over her as she fell asleep.

She didn't know how much time had passed when Qin Mengru woke up again, this time from the heat. She felt as if she were hugging a ball of fire, and what was even harder to accept was that Xiao Tianci was now greedily sucking on her cherry lips.

The scene looked quite erotic, but for Xiao Tianci, it was a different story. When Xiao Tianci woke up, he felt waves of heat from the inside out. He just wanted to release his heat, but couldn't find an object to vent it on. He accidentally touched Qin Mengru's lips, feeling a cool sensation there, and without hesitation, he pressed his lips to hers.

*Slap!* Qin Mengru slapped Xiao Tianci across the face. It seemed that Xiao Tianci was no longer satisfied with that little bit of coolness; he began to make large movements on Qin Mengru's body. Qin Mengru, unable to bear it any longer, slapped him and kicked him off the bed.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Xiao Tianci was somewhat sobered by the slap and apologized to Qin Mengru while enduring the pain.

"You, how could you do this?" Qin Mengru was both ashamed and angry. She had already disregarded propriety for him, and he was still not satisfied, he was being so excessive.

"I...I really didn't mean to," Xiao Tianci managed to say, his face contorted in pain. Only then did Qin Mengru realize something was wrong with him again.

"What's wrong with you now? And why are you so hot?" Qin Mengru remembered being woken up by the heat.

"I don't know, I'm just so hot. It seems I'm not going to make it." Xiao Tianci spoke slowly and deliberately. "Please tell them for me that I...I can only repay their kindness in the next life." With that, Xiao Tianci finally let out a roar to release the pain in his body.

"How could this happen? Why are you so hot again? You could manage when you were cold, but what can you do now?" Qin Mengru was at a loss.

"How are you now?" Qin Mengru helped him back to bed and asked with concern. Xiao Tianci was already delirious with fever and couldn't hear what she was saying. At this moment, he only felt a slight chill on Qin Mengru's body, so he subconsciously hugged her tightly and kept tugging at her clothes, as if wanting more coolness.

"You, you can't do this." Qin Mengru wanted to push him away, but then remembered that he was oblivious to everything and couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Ugh~" She was pulled down onto the bed by him, and her mouth was covered again. At this moment, Xiao Tianci didn't know where the strength came from, but he held Qin Mengru's body tightly, greedily sucking on her, and his hands continued to try to tear her clothes.

"You bad boy, don't tear it! How am I supposed to wear it if you tear it? I can do it myself." Qin Mengru wanted to cry, but she gritted her teeth and decided to give in to him. After all, he was the first man she had ever loved. Qin

Mengru's clothes were made of a special material, and Xiao Tianci managed not to tear them. In the end, Qin Mengru untied them herself.

"Gently, it hurts!" Qin Mengru felt a sharp pain, realizing she was no longer a virgin. Xiao Tianci, however, was only focused on venting his desires and had no idea of her feelings. Qin Mengru clung tightly to his body, enduring wave after wave of his thrusts. A bizarre thought suddenly crossed her mind: I actually willingly let a man rape me, and this is how I got my first injury.

Xiao Tianci only knew that each thrust made him feel a little better, and his subconscious controlled his movements to become increasingly wild. Poor Qin Mengru, several times she had the urge to kill Xiao Tianci, but she gritted her teeth and endured it. By the time Xiao Tianci finally stopped, exhausted, and fell asleep, she was almost dead.

Qin Mengru looked at the man beside her; she could feel his breathing had calmed down and his body temperature had returned to normal. She felt a sense of relief; at least she had survived. Amidst her growing sobriety, a surge of resentment washed over her. Seeing him sleeping so soundly, she couldn't resist biting him hard, muttering, "You bastard, you're driving me crazy!" She wondered how she could have fallen for him. It was all her curiosity that had caused this; she'd been too curious about him, caring about everything he did, only to realize she was in love when he was on the verge of death. Qin Mengru sighed softly, nestled gently beside Xiao Tianci, and slowly drifted off to sleep…

*********

Xiao Tianci slept for a long time, waking up the next evening. However, he didn't see Qin Mengru. He checked his surroundings and found his injuries were about 70-80% healed. He vaguely remembered what had happened the previous night and couldn't help but worry about what Qin Mengru might do to him.

"You finally woke up? Were you sleeping comfortably? Why didn't you just keep sleeping until you were dead?" Qin Mengru walked in from outside, her voice fierce.

"Qin, Qin…" Xiao Tianci stammered, unsure how to address her.

"Qin, Qin, Qin, you big-headed devil! You better stay still and answer my questions. If you lie even once, you'll be sorry!" It was unexpected that Qin Mengru had such a talent for being a tigress.

Xiao Tianci could only nod helplessly. Seeing his obedient appearance, Qin Mengru almost laughed, barely managing to hold back her laughter and maintaining a cold demeanor.

"Now I'm asking you, do you know what you did yesterday?" This was the most crucial question.

"I... I think I know a little, but I'm not entirely sure," Xiao Tianci said in a low voice, secretly glancing at Qin Mengru, seemingly wanting to see her reaction.

"What do you mean 'not entirely sure'? I think you know very well. Now I'm asking you, were you faking it last night?" No wonder Qin Mengru was so fierce; she suspected Xiao Tianci was lying to her.

"No, I really wasn't that badly injured. Besides, if I wanted to lie to you, your martial arts skills would have shown me." Xiao Tianci hurriedly explained. This was no small matter. If Qin Mengru thought he was deliberately lying about his body, Xiao Tianci would be finished.

"Then why did I find your martial arts have almost recovered today? You were half-dead last night, and now you're lively and energetic. How could you recover so quickly? You still say you're not lying to me?" This was the crux of the matter. It turned out that when Qin Mengru woke up in the morning, she was concerned about Xiao Tianci's injuries and checked on him. To her surprise, she found that he was already almost fully recovered. She wanted to give him a good beating, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to do it. Later, she realized that she had clearly seen him severely injured and unable to save him, so how could he be healed now? She couldn't figure it out, so she decided to interrogate Xiao Tianci properly today. Actually, what she was most worried about was that Xiao Tianci was lying to her in order to get her. As long as that wasn't the case, nothing else mattered.

"Sister Mengru, I really don't know why. Maybe it was because of you and me last night..." He quickly stopped, noticing Qin Mengru glaring at him. "Anyway, you must have saved me."

"Are you talking nonsense? Can this really heal injuries?" Qin Mengru blushed and whispered in his ear.

"Really, no, I've healed injuries like this before." He suddenly realized he'd made a mistake, because Qin Mengru had already grabbed his ear.

"You've done this with other people before, haven't you? Tell me honestly, who was it?" Qin Mengru was jealous. She knew Xiao Tianci had other women, but hearing him say that still made her uncomfortable.

"It was Yao'er and Xiang'er." Xiao Tianci was relatively honest, but he was thinking that since Qin Mengru knew about his relationship with Qiu Shuiyao and Hanxiang, saying it might save him from trouble.

"I'm warning you, I'll ask Shuiyao later. If you dare to lie to me, I won't forgive you." Qin Mengru couldn't help but laugh at this point. This guy was so easy to deal with; a little trickery was all it took to make him obedient.

"Sister Mengru, I'm so hungry! Can I get up and eat something?" Xiao Tianci looked pitiful.

"Since you're being so obedient, well, I'll go get you something to eat. You wait here." Qin Mengru chuckled, leaving Xiao Tianci stunned for a moment.

"What are you looking at, you lecherous man. And don't call me 'sister' anymore, it makes me sound old. Just call me Mengru." Qin Mengru glared at him again and left.

"Honestly, if you smiled like that, any man would turn into a lecher." Xiao Tianci muttered, but luckily Qin Mengru was already out and couldn't hear him, otherwise he probably would have had a hard time.

"Am I happy or unhappy?" Xiao Tianci was a little troubled.

***********

Seven days have passed in a flash. During these days, Xiao Tianci took advantage of Qin Mengru under the pretext of healing his injuries. Xiao Tianci has also fully recovered. These days, Xiao Tianci has stayed in his room and hasn't gone out. Qin Mengru, on the other hand, went out to scout out some news a few times. People from the White Alliance often came to the inn looking for her, but no one would have thought that Qin Mengru would be living with a man, so no one noticed Xiao Tianci.

The sky darkened again, and another day passed. Qin Mengru stood by the window, seemingly lost in thought, when a pair of hands came from behind and gently embraced her.

"You're being naughty again," Qin Mengru turned around and glared at Xiao Tianci. "Your injuries are healed, don't expect me to let you act recklessly again."

"Then can I at least hug you?" Xiao Tianci looked pitiful.

"Your wife and lover are here, you should go see them these past few days. They've clashed with the White Alliance many times, and you know, the White Alliance has already issued a strike order against you in the martial world." Qin Mengru let him hug her and said softly.

"What about you? Aren't you coming with me?" Xiao Tianci asked reluctantly, knowing that Qin Mengru wouldn't agree, but still asking.

"You know that's impossible." Qin Mengru said quietly, "Besides, I have something very important to do."

"What is it? I can help you." Xiao Tianci was still unwilling to give up.

"You've already helped me a lot by being like this," Qin Mengru suddenly said, sounding quite strange. "Okay, stop nagging. At most, I'll stay with you again tonight." Qin Mengru seemed to want to avoid the topic, coquettishly pleading. Seeing her like this, Xiao Tianci had no mind to think about anything else and kissed her fiercely.

That night, the two were extremely intimate. Xiao Tianci's demands were insatiable, and Qin Mengru was surprisingly responsive. They didn't sleep a wink until dawn, when Xiao Tianci finally fell into a deep sleep with Qin Mengru in his arms.

*********

Around noon, Xiao Tianci woke up. The pillow still held her fragrance, but Qin Mengru was gone. Xiao Tianci felt a pang of disappointment. Although he had expected this, knowing last night that Qin Mengru might secretly leave, he still held onto a sliver of hope that she would stay, even though he knew it was unlikely.

On the coffee table lay a handkerchief embroidered with a beautiful young girl, vaguely resembling Qin Mengru, along with the words, "Xiao Lang, I will return. Mengru." Xiao Tianci gently picked up the handkerchief, sniffed it, and seemed to still retain Qin Mengru's scent. He sighed softly and put the handkerchief in his pocket.

"I should go find Sister Yuya and the others. I wonder if the White Alliance has done anything to them." Xiao Tianci thought to himself that Qin Mengru's matter could only be put aside for now. After all, Xiao Yuya was more worrying than Qin Mengru.

Xiao Tianci didn't go out through the main gate because he was afraid that someone would know that Qin Mengru lived here. If he went out from there, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. Since Qin Mengru didn't want others to know about their relationship for the time being, he would naturally respect her wishes. He couldn't be too selfish.

Suzhou City was very prosperous. Now, Xiao Tianci strolled leisurely down the street. He thought that since there were White Alliance people everywhere here anyway, he couldn't avoid them all, so he might as well face them head-on.

Chapter Forty-Four: My Heart Takes Flight

Xiao Tianci was sitting in a restaurant. Surprisingly, no one had bothered him on the way here. Thinking he hadn't eaten yet and was feeling a bit hungry, he looked up and saw a restaurant, so he went inside. As

Xiao Tianci enjoyed his meal, he suddenly felt several eyes watching him. Looking up, he saw several people he didn't really want to see.

He lowered his head and continued to devour the food on the table. As for those people, since they didn't actively seek him out, Xiao Tianci didn't bother to look for them. However, things rarely go as planned. It seemed unlikely that Xiao Tianci could eat in peace anymore, because those people had already arrived.

"Xiao Tianci, you seem to be having a pretty good time these days," a woman said sarcastically. She was also very beautiful, with arched eyebrows, large eyes, a delicate nose, and thin cherry lips.

"That's right, thanks to you, Fourth Miss, I've been doing very well," Xiao Tianci replied indifferently.

"It's a disgrace to our Sword Lake Manor to have someone like you," a young man said.

"Young Master Xiao, you seem to have made a mistake. I am no longer a member of your Sword Lake Manor. Whether you feel ashamed or not, it has nothing to do with me." Xiao Tianci's temper was surprisingly good; he didn't seem angry at all.

"So you are that lecherous thief, Xiao Tianci." The last woman spoke up. Xiao Tianci didn't recognize this girl, but he felt a familiar aura about her, as if he had seen it on someone else. In terms of appearance alone, she was comparable to the Fourth Miss, Xiao Yuru, but with that aura, she was clearly more attractive than Xiao Yuru.

"When did you see that I was a lecherous thief?" Xiao Tianci asked the girl.

"Do I need to see it? Everyone in the martial world knows it now." The girl seemed stunned.

"Since you didn't see it, then don't speak carelessly. The reason I'm so famous is probably because there are too many people in the martial world like you who believe rumors without question." Xiao Tianci said calmly.

"Xiao Tianci, you're still trying to deny it! So many people saw it with their own eyes, how could it be fake?" Xiao Yuru said, then turned to the young girl: "Junior sister, he's a master of sweet talk, don't fall for his tricks."

"Fourth Miss, I don't think I've ever used sweet talk on you, have I? How can you be so sure I'm good at it?" Xiao Tianci was annoyed, but a smile remained on his face.

"Hmph, if you hadn't used sweet talk to deceive my sister, would she have stayed with someone as useless as you? You should look in the mirror; even the waiter here is better than you." This was quite sarcastic, and some people in the restaurant were already laughing mockingly.

"Fourth Miss, Yuya and I are truly in love, and I would never lie to her. You can criticize me, but I hope you won't drag Yuya into it," Xiao Tianci said coldly. "Also, I may not be better than the waiter here, but I don't think I'm worse than anyone else. In my eyes, no one is necessarily better than anyone else. Besides, even if I were worse, I wouldn't be interested in you, Fourth Miss."

"You!" Xiao Yuru was furious and drew her sword to pounce, but Xiao Tianfeng grabbed her. "Don't act rashly. You're no match for him."

"If you have nothing else to do, please don't disturb my meal," Xiao Tianci said coldly. " Rumor has it

that Young Master Xiao's martial arts are superb, and he has few rivals in the martial world. This humble woman is overestimating herself and would like to see for herself. I wonder if Young Master Xiao would be willing to teach her?" The girl spoke politely, but it was uncertain whether she would remain so when the fight broke out.

“Since you wish to offer me some pointers, I, Xiao, will humbly accept. However, there are guests in the restaurant, and to avoid disturbing them, would you be willing to come downstairs for a duel?” Xiao Tianci asked politely.



May I ask your name, young lady?” The restaurant was quite large, bustling with people, and with a fight taking place, there were naturally many onlookers. Xiao Tianci didn't know the girl's background, but since she was Xiao Yuru's junior sister, she must be from Emei.

“Emei Yunxinwu.”

Yun Xinwu, the only woman among the top ten masters on the Green List.

Looking at Yun Xinwu, Xiao Tianci suddenly realized why her aura seemed familiar. He'd seen this same aura in Qiu Shuiyao, though Yun Xinwu was far inferior. However, Xiao Tianci had a feeling that Yun Xinwu's martial arts were somewhat similar to Qiu Shuiyao's.

Yun Xinwu stood there motionless, her snow-white robes fluttering, giving Xiao Tianci the illusion that Qiu Shuiyao was right in front of him. Just then, Yun Xinwu moved. She had been searching for an opportunity, but hadn't found a weakness in Xiao Tianci. She had suddenly noticed that he seemed distracted; now was the perfect time to act.

Yun Xinwu's martial arts were unique in Emei, not the traditional Emei style, but a new style originally created by her master but ultimately perfected by Yun Xinwu herself. It was called Xinwu (Heart Dance). Xiao Tianci wasn't wrong; Xinwu also required cultivating the mind before mastering martial arts, entering martial arts through the heart.

Yun Xinwu's moves were quite ordinary, showing nothing special. In fact, it was just a casual slash. Xiao Tianci, suddenly awakened in the midst of the crisis, instinctively swung his sword—the second strike of the Passionate Sword Technique, "Tender Feelings for a Concubine." This strike was recently created, only completed three days ago.

Speaking of the Passionate Sword Technique, it was actually first formed when Xiao Tianci was in seclusion, created out of longing for the women who had just left. The Carefree Sword Technique's strikes are all domineering, often deciding victory or defeat with a single blow. The Passionate Sword Technique is different. For example, this second strike generally doesn't kill. The first strike he used against An Jiafeng and his companion a few days ago, actually called "Unwavering Passion," was far more powerful, killing or seriously injuring anyone hit.

Since ancient times, countless heroes and beauties have fallen into the entanglement of love, unable to extricate themselves. The Tender Feelings for a Concubine of the Passionate Sword Technique is like a net of love, trapping all possible attacks. Yun Xinwu's move naturally failed.

"Young Master Xiao truly lives up to his reputation; I, Xinwu, concede defeat." Yun Xinwu stopped after her first unsuccessful move. She knew in her heart that this was her best chance; if she couldn't defeat Xiao Tianci now, continuing wouldn't change anything.

"Junior Sister, you only exchanged one blow with him, how could you lose?" Xiao Yuru seemed incredulous and quickly pulled Yun Xinwu aside to ask.

"Senior Sister, I didn't want to lose either," Yun Xinwu smiled helplessly. Meanwhile, Xiao Tianci seemed to be lost in thought,

perhaps remembering something else. "You bad boy, hug me!" A girl giggled and ran towards Xiao Tianci. Looking at her, Xiao Tianci felt dizzy. How did she end up here? Seeing her about to fall, Xiao Tianci quickly went to support her, and she leaned against him, insisting on being carried. This girl was none other than the troublesome Miss Nalan, Nalan Ruoshui.

"You're here." Xiao Tianci reluctantly picked her up, his gaze drifting to the group behind him. A warm feeling welled up inside him. Xiao Yuya, Panpan, the four girls from the East, Gu Feng, and Lan Tianfeng were all there, smiling at him.

"How have you been these past few days? It seems like a lot has happened to you," Xiao Yuya asked gently.

"Don't worry, Sister Yuya, I'm fine. But don't worry so much about me, take care of yourself." Looking at Xiao Yuya's slightly thinner face, Xiao Tianci said with a touch of heartache.

"Let's go back and talk about it." Dongfang Qin's beautiful eyes were red; it seemed she had worried a lot about Xiao Tianci these past few days.

"Leaving isn't so easy." A cold voice came from the side. Xiao Tianci sighed; the White Alliance had finally received the news and arrived.

"Sister Qin, how did she get here?" Xiao Tianci looked at the girl in his arms, who didn't want to leave and seemed to have fallen asleep, and asked Dongfang Qin with a hint of helplessness.

"I'll tell you about her later. She's been thinking about you every day these past few days and hasn't slept well. Just let her get some sleep first. We can handle things here." Dongfang Qin looked at Nalan Ruoshui, her eyes softening.

"Bai Yulou, are you ever going to stop? You're like a ghost, haunting me every day." Dongfang Qi was furious; it seemed they had met many times in the past few days.

"Miss Dongfang, we didn't want this either. You only have yourself to blame for following the wrong person. Of all people to follow, you had to follow Xiao Tianci, this murderer, arsonist, rapist, thief, and thief who commits all sorts of evil." Bai Yulou said, looking at Xiao Tianci with anger and jealousy in his eyes.

"Brother Lan, Brother Gu, how come I'm so powerful now?" Xiao Tianci was dizzy from Bai Yulou's long list of accusations.

"Brother Xiao, he's not wrong. According to the rumors in the martial arts world, he's already being quite tactful." Lan Tianfeng smiled helplessly, thinking to himself that he had followed the wrong person; this guy was causing too much trouble.

"I've said it many times, my young master didn't do these things. Does your White Alliance have any sense of reason?" Dongfang Hua, usually quite good-tempered, couldn't help but lose her temper.

"We saw it with our own eyes. Fairy Qiu was also there. Do you doubt Fairy Qiu?" Bai Yulou used Qiu Shuiyao as a shield again, and Qiu Shuiyao wanted to stomp on Bai Yulou.

"Fairy Qiu, tell me, did my young master do such a thing?" Dongfang Qin stared at Qiu Shuiyao and asked. Dongfang Qin knew about the relationship between Qiu Shuiyao and Xiao Tianci.

"Sister Qin," Xiao Tianci quickly called out to her, not wanting Dongfang Qin to pressure Qiu Shuiyao.

"Shut up." Dongfang Qin glared at him fiercely and said irritably.

"I'll only say what I saw." Qiu Shuiyao looked at Xiao Tianci, feeling his concern for her. "When Miss Yue cried for help, I did see Xiao Tianci and Miss Yue in bed."

"I suppose Fairy Qiu could also tell that Miss Yue's acupoints were restrained at the time?" Bai Yulou pressed.

“That’s right, that’s how it was.” It was a fact, and Qiu Shuiyao couldn’t deny it.

“Does Miss Dongfang think this evidence isn’t enough?” Bai Yulou asked, looking at Dongfang Qin.

“Of course not. Acupoints can be self-inflicted. If Yue Xiaomin is deliberately trying to frame someone, none of this proves anything,” Dongfang Hua said.

“Does that mean Miss Yue will willingly allow herself to be insulted? Miss Dongfang, don’t you think your deduction is ridiculous? Everyone in the martial arts world knows that Miss Yue and Shaolin’s Young Master Zhan are in love. Doesn’t Miss Dongfang know that?” Bai Yulou didn’t want to be seen as unreasonable, so he decided to reason with Dongfang Hua.

“Yue Xiaomin was originally my young master’s lover. It’s normal for their old feelings to rekindle. As for Young Master Zhan, I would like to ask you, do you know where Yue Xiaomin is now?” It turned out that Yue Xiaomin wasn’t with Zhan Qingchen now.

“Of course I know, but I won’t tell you. I don’t want you to do anything to her for Xiao Tianci.” Zhan Qingchen’s words were ambiguous.

“Miss Dongfang, I think there’s no need to argue anymore. Xiao Tianci’s evil deeds are known to everyone. If you insist on protecting Xiao Tianci, then we’ll have no choice but to be impolite.” Actually, if they weren’t related to Dongfang Xuanji, Bai Yulou probably wouldn’t have wasted so much breath.

“Why didn’t you just say so earlier? Let’s fight. It’s simple. Come on, Bai Yulou, I’ll pick you.” Gu Feng’s lazy voice came over.

“Since you’re going to aid and abet evil, then from now on, you are enemies of our White Alliance, and we won’t be polite to you anymore.” Bai Yulou thought these people were simply hopeless.

“We never intended to be friends with you.” Lan Tianfeng interjected weakly.

“The Amorous Young Master Lan Tianfeng is ranked tenth on the Black List, and I happen to be tenth on the White List. Let’s see who’s stronger, the Black List expert or the White List expert.” Hearing this, Lan Tianfeng secretly groaned. When did this guy get involved in this?

"Speaking of which, Sect Leader Xiao has been kind to me, and we can be considered friends. Let's just treat this as an ordinary competition." Ye Qiuhan smiled slightly at Lan Tianfeng's bitter face.

"What? You're clearly the one who harmed you!" Lan Tianfeng complained, but considering that Ye Qiuhan, as the Kunlun Sect Leader, must have his difficulties, it was quite good that he did this.

"Today, I will also wash away the shame of our Sword Lake Manor." A deep voice came, and Xiao Tianci was startled. When did Xiao Jinghong arrive?

Looking in the direction of the voice, he secretly groaned. There was more than just Xiao Jinghong. There was Xiao Tianling and his wife Sun Jianping, Qingcheng Sect Leader Sun Yuxi, and a white-bearded Taoist. Could it be Chongxu? Didn't this old Taoist say he had retired from the martial world?

"Xiao Lang, be careful, Taoist Chongxu is here." Qiu Shuiyao's voice came from beside him. Xiao Tianci looked at her gratefully, feeling a warmth in his heart. After all, Qiu Shuiyao still cared about him. However, this also confirmed his earlier guess; the old Taoist was indeed Chongxu.

Chongxu, after being defeated by Dongfang Xuanji, said that as long as Dongfang Xuanji remained in the martial world, he would no longer roam. Because no one expected Dongfang Xuanji to retire so early, everyone assumed Chongxu had essentially left the martial world. As for why Chongxu was ranked after Yan Wuxin on the White List, it was said that Chongxu and Su Poyun had fought to a draw, while Yan Wuxin later defeated Su Poyun by half a move. Given Yan Wuxin's status in the martial world, no one objected to ranking him ahead of Chongxu.

"Sister Yuya, don't worry, I'm here." Seeing Xiao Jinghong's excitement and worry, Xiao Tianci quickly comforted her gently.

Chapter 45 Phoenix in the Martial World

"Ruoshui, wake up." Xiao Tianci gently patted the girl in his arms.

"No, I haven't slept enough yet." Nalan Ruoshui pouted and moved, continuing to sleep.

"Young Master, they outnumber us. You should take Yuya and Ruoshui and leave first. We'll hold them off," Dongfang Hua whispered.

"No, that would be too dangerous for you. You should leave first," Xiao Tianci refused decisively.

"Then let's go together," Dongfang Qin said softly, glancing at Xiao Tianci gently.

"Xiao Tianci, I want to see what kind of crooked tricks you've learned over the years," Xiao Jinghong said, walking towards Xiao Tianci, seemingly ready to take action himself.

"Xiao Jinghong, you don't need to personally deal with me, Young Master. I can handle it," Dongfang Qin stepped forward.

Before long, pairs of fighters were engaged in combat. Dongfang Hua faced Yun Xinwu, Dongfang Shu fought Sun Yuxi, Dongfang Qi encountered the monk Huijue, and Xiao Tianci, because he was holding Nalan Ruoshui, was targeted by Xiao Tianfeng, who saw an opportunity. They were surrounded by a group of people, making it seem like Xiao Tianci couldn't escape even if he had wings.

The battle was evenly matched, but the White Alliance still had two heavyweights, Chongxu and Qiushuiyao, who hadn't yet made a move. Zhan Qingchen and Xiao Yuru were also watching closely from the sidelines, along with countless disciples. Poor Xiao Tianci's side was left with only Dongfang Panpan tending to Xiao Yuya.

As the two sides fought fiercely, no one noticed someone stealthily approaching Xiao Yuya. When they were close enough, someone lunged at her, grabbing her with both hands.

"What are you doing?" With a thud, Dongfang Panpan clashed palms with the person, blocking Xiao Yuya's path.

"Ling Xiaofang, how could you do this? Don't you think it's despicable?" Xiao Tianling was furious.

"Xiao Tianling, I don't need you to tell me what to do. I'm just helping you. As long as we capture Xiao Yuya, aren't you afraid Xiao Tianci will obediently submit?" Ling Xiaofang had appeared out of nowhere.

"Shameless!" Dongfang Panpan glared fiercely at Ling Xiaofang. If she hadn't reacted quickly, Xiao Yuya would probably already be in Ling Xiaofang's hands. However, probably no one would know that Dongfang Panpan was also a master.

"You brat, let's see how you stop me." Ling Xiaofang smiled sinisterly and made a gesture. Several more people rushed over from the crowd, surrounding Dongfang Panpan and Xiao Yuya.

Xiao Tianci already knew what was going on, but he was powerless to do anything about it. He was now surrounded by three people. Xiao Yuru and Zhan Qingchen had also joined in the fun. What was even more infuriating was that the three of them seemed to be working together to attack Nalan Ruoshui in his arms, leaving Xiao Tianci in a state of panic. However, our Miss Nalan was still having a good dream, completely unaware that she was on the verge of danger.

"Sister Peony, the people from the White Alliance are really shameless!" A clear voice rang in everyone's ears.

"You just found out? I heard their leader is the most shameless one. His sweetheart was stolen, so he tries every means to frame his rival and then settle personal scores." Another voice continued.

"That Ling Xiaofang is shameless too. Look at all those people bullying a little girl. Sigh, are all men these days so shameless?" A third voice said, seemingly cursing all men in the world.

"Him? I heard he's just a nouveau riche who doesn't know anything. Actually, there are still good men, but there are more good women." This was the fourth voice, all female.

"Who's talking nonsense here?" Bai Yulou's face turned red and then pale, almost getting stabbed by Gu Feng's sword.

"Of course, it's you talking nonsense." The onlookers parted, and four stunningly beautiful women walked in. The one who spoke was a woman in purple.

"I heard that Xiao Cangtian of the Demonic Sect is a guest at White Horse Manor, but I didn't expect the master to be here. Didn't Xiao Cangtian make a wasted trip?" The woman in red seemed to be talking to herself, but her voice was too loud, as everyone around could hear her.

"Sister Peony, are you mistaken? I remember that Su Poyun went to Shaolin Temple, and I think he wanted to become a monk." This was the woman in blue.

"Hehe, I heard that the eldest disciple of Sword Lake Manor eloped with a female disciple of the Demonic Sect." This time it was the woman in white who spoke.

"Are you telling the truth?" The fighting group stopped, and Bai Yulou, Huijue, and Xiao Jinghong asked in unison.

"Sister Peony, who are they asking?" The girl in purple asked, looking confused. "

It seems like they're asking you. I don't know either." Peony looked innocent.

"May I ask, young lady, where did you get this information?" Bai Yulou asked Peony, barely suppressing his anger.

"Where I get it doesn't seem like I need to report to you, does it? As for whether you believe it or not, that's up to you." Peony said calmly.

Bai Yulou and his companions turned pale and red-faced, whispering amongst themselves.

"Xiao Tianci, we'll let you go for now." Bai Yulou coldly snorted, turned, and hurriedly left. Xiao Jinghong and Huijue followed suit.

"Ling Xiaofang, isn't it too late for you to leave now?" Ling Xiaofang wanted to leave too after seeing the Bai Alliance members leave, but Xiao Tianci wasn't going to let him go so easily. If it weren't for Xiao Tianling protecting Xiao Yuya, she would probably already be in their hands.

"That's right, that's right, this guy is shameless, don't let him go." The girl in purple seemed eager to stir up trouble.

"Then go and bring him to me." Xiao Tianci found it amusing.

"But I can't beat him. You know I'm good at arguing, but not at fighting." The girl in purple was quite self-aware.

"You already have enough trouble, don't cause any more. Let him go." A soft sigh came from beside him.

"Why are you still here?" Xiao Tianci hadn't expected her to still be there. "But he's repeatedly harmed the people around me. Am I just going to let him get away with this?"

"Whether you let him go or not is up to you. I can't control you anyway." She seemed a little defiant.

"Fine, I'll let him go this time. But if he runs into my hands again, I won't let him off so easily." Xiao Tianci didn't want to go against her wishes.

"I'm doing this for your own good. I saw that the Crystal Palace Master is here too. It's not good for you to have too many enemies at the same time." "

Ling Xiaofang, I have things to do today. I don't want to argue with you. Get out of here now, and I hope you don't let me run into you again." Xiao Tianci said coldly.

Ling Xiaofang glared at Xiao Tianci with hatred, then left without saying a word.

"Young Master, why did you let him go?" The girl in purple began to whine.

"It was my idea. Don't blame him." Qiu Shuiyao walked over.

"Do you have something to ask him?" Xiao Tianci knew she wouldn't be still there for no reason.

"Is the news you four ladies just told true or false? Please tell us the truth." Qiu Shuiyao nodded and asked the four ladies, including Mudan.

"Young Master, who is she?" Mudan looked at Xiao Tianci with a questioning gaze.

"Tell her." Xiao Tianci sighed.

"It's true. I think you should receive the news in a few hours." Although Mudan didn't understand the relationship between Qiu Shuiyao and Xiao Tianci, since Xiao Tianci had spoken, she wouldn't hide it.

"You should also be careful. I'm leaving." Qiu Shuiyao said softly to Xiao Tianci, and her figure flashed, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

"Wow, so amazing—" The girl in purple showed an exaggerated expression.

"Not only amazing, but also so beautiful, comparable to Sister Wuying." The girl in blue also exclaimed.

"You two, stop exclaiming here. How did you get here?" Xiao Tianci was both annoyed and amused.

"Young Master, please come with us first. We'll talk as we walk." Mudan said softly.

These four girls were the four personal maids of the Palace Mistress of the Hundred Flowers Palace, second only to Hua Yumei in rank. They were dressed as Peony in red, Lily in white, Peony in purple, and Magnolia in blue.

Along the way, they recounted what had happened. It turned out that Nangong Xiaoyu was worried about Xiao Tianci and had asked them to come and check on him. They said they could help him if they had nothing else to do. Their martial arts skills weren't particularly high, and seeing Xiao Tianci surrounded, they had to leak some information to scare him away.

They arrived at the gate of a large mansion with the words "Xiaoyao Sect" written on it.

"When did the Xiaoyao Sect get here? Even I, the sect leader, didn't know," Xiao Tianci said

, somewhat amused and exasperated. "We just set it up. Sister Xiaoyu said you'll be staying here from now on," Peony quickly explained.

"Why didn't anyone ask if I agreed?" Xiao Tianci grumbled.

"Why should we ask you? We decide," Magnolia retorted, pouring cold water on his enthusiasm.

"Women are so unreasonable," Xiao Tianci thought to himself, then suddenly remembered something.

"Sister Qin, what happened to Ruoshui? How did she end up here with you?" Xiao Tianci asked Dongfang Qin.

"Didn't you notice something was off about her?" Dongfang Qin countered.

"No, besides not understanding anything, there's nothing else wrong with her," Xiao Tianci replied.

Dongfang Qin rolled her eyes at him and explained Nalan Ruoshui's situation. Everyone present fell silent. Such a lovely girl, yet she already had a terminal illness.

"Sister Qin, are you saying she only has two months left to live?" Xiao Tianci was a little incredulous. Such a simple girl like Nalan Ruoshui had to accept this fate.

"Didn't you notice how weak she is? And what ordinary person can sleep like her, with all that noise around her?" Dongfang Qin nodded.

"I thought all rich young ladies were like her. And didn't you say she didn't sleep well? How could I have imagined that such a perfectly healthy girl would have a terminal illness?" Xiao Tianci's tone was filled with sadness. To be honest, no one would not love a girl like Nalan Ruoshui.

“These days, just treat her well, try to go along with her, and make her happier.” Xiao Yuya also sighed.

“Is there really no way to cure her?” Xiao Tianci was still unwilling to give up.

“Nalan Wudi claims to have consulted all the famous doctors in the world, but no one can do it.” Dongfang Qin said.

“What famous doctors? He definitely didn’t consult Xiaoyu.” Xiao Tianci said somewhat unconvinced.

“That’s true, Miss Nangong might really have a way. Isn’t she the most talented woman in the world?” Lan Tianfeng interjected. “

Sister Baihe, please tell Xiaoyu about Ruoshui’s condition for me and ask her if she can do anything.” Xiao Tianci acted on his thought immediately and instructed Baihe.

“I hope Miss Biao can do something.” Dongfang Qin also hoped that Nalan Ruoshui would be alright.

“I’m hungry.” Suddenly, Xiao Tianci felt the person in his arms move.

“Don’t worry, I’ll get you something to eat right away.” Xiao Tianci coaxed her, feeling a strange pang of sadness in his heart.

"I want to eat the grilled fish you made for me the other day." Nalan Ruoshui still couldn't forget the dish Xiao Tianci had painstakingly made.

"Ruoshui, little sister, I'll go grill it for you. You wait a bit." Dongfang Qin's gentle demeanor was something Xiao Tianci had never experienced before.

"No, I want you to do it." Nalan Ruoshui protested

, clinging to Xiao Tianci. "Alright, I'll go. You play here for a while." Xiao Tianci had no choice but to do it himself.

*******

Watching Nalan Ruoshui eat her almost burnt fish with such joy, Xiao Tianci felt a pang of sadness.

"Come feed me." Nalan Ruoshui started ordering Xiao Tianci around again.

*********

"Sister Qin," Xiao Tianci called softly.

"Why are you here? Where's Ruoshui?" Dongfang Qin asked reproachfully.

"She's asleep. I came to see you." Xiao Tianci hugged her.

"Don't do this. You should go back and stay with Ruoshui. She'll be sad if she wakes up and doesn't see you." Dongfang Qin gently advised him.

"Sister Qin, do you know how hard it was for me to come back and see you all?" Xiao Tianci murmured, tightening his grip on her.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're perfectly fine now!" Dongfang Qin scolded playfully.

"Sister Qin, Ruoshui is asleep and won't wake up anytime soon. Can I stay here with you?" Xiao Tianci whispered in Dongfang Qin's ear, breathing heavily.

"You're such a pest. Fine, but you have to go back before dawn." Dongfang Qin finally couldn't refuse him.

They had been separated for almost a month, and now their passion was ignited. Dongfang Qin was also burning with desire, and they made love for half the night. In the early morning, Dongfang Qin woke Xiao Tianci up.

"Where did you go? Why did you leave me here?" Unexpectedly, Nalan Ruoshui was sitting on the bed waiting for him.

"Ruoshui, I thought you were asleep and wouldn't wake up anytime soon, so I went to check on Sister Qin." Xiao Tianci couldn't bear to lie to her, so he told the truth.

"Don't run away while I'm asleep! You're such a rascal! You promised to hold me while I sleep, and then you just ran off!" Nalan Ruoshui pouted.

"Okay, okay, I won't do it again," Xiao Tianci had no choice but to coax her.

"Then hold me while I sleep now," Nalan Ruoshui said sweetly.

What could Xiao Tianci possibly object to at this point? Naturally, he complied. Actually, holding Nalan Ruoshui's petite body was quite comfortable...

Chapter 46: Alluring and

Charming Miss Nalan could indeed sleep well, but Xiao Tianci couldn't sleep with his eyes open, while Nalan Ruoshui slept soundly until dusk. Moreover, Xiao Tianci had to resist Nalan Ruoshui's allure. Although Nalan Ruoshui seemed a little underdeveloped and her figure wasn't particularly good, her soft, petite body and her pitiful face could arouse a different kind of madness. Fortunately, Xiao Tianci had a little self-control, so Nalan Ruoshui could rest easy.

When Nalan Ruoshui woke up, Xiao Tianci suffered even more. Nalan Ruoshui refused to dress herself, wash herself, eat by herself, or even walk. She wanted Xiao Tianci to do everything for her, and wouldn't let anyone else help her.

The Xiaoyao Sect's council hall was brightly lit, and everyone in the sect was discussing something. Xiao Tianci, as the sect leader, looked extremely embarrassed, not because of anything else, but because of the mess this Miss Nalan had made. She seemed to have plenty of energy after sleeping all day. Although she didn't understand what others were discussing, Xiao Tianci now had to carry her everywhere. She was probably bored, so she gently stroked Xiao Tianci's face with her small hands, occasionally giggling. Everyone in the hall looked at Xiao Tianci with strange, ambiguous eyes.

"Ahem~ Ahem~~~" Xiao Tianci coughed twice, suppressing his embarrassment, and said, "By the way, Sister Baihe, let's continue our conversation. What were you saying just now?"

"Oh, it's like this." Baihe's face was half-smiled. "We were just discussing how Young Master spent last night and today with Ruoshui."

"Sister Baihe, don't joke around." Xiao Tianci had already decided that he would definitely teach Baihe a lesson next time, for actually mocking him in front of so many people.

"Alright, no more jokes. The information we received is that Yue Xiaomin has rarely appeared with Zhan Qingchen together for about a month. The specific reason is not clear, but Zhan Qingchen's whereabouts have been rather mysterious lately, and so has Yue Xiaomin's. The initial judgment is that their relationship has indeed encountered problems, but for some reason we cannot know, they seem to be deliberately hiding it. In addition, Sister Xiaoyu has also begun to suspect that there is a problem within our ranks and is investigating. She told you to be careful, Young Master." Baihe suppressed her laughter, and her expression returned to solemnity.

"Do you know where Yue Xiaomin is now?" Xiao Tianci suddenly asked.

“Yue Xiaomin left the White Alliance yesterday, but she’s back now,” Baihe replied. “Does Young Master want to go see her?”

“I want to go see her. I feel there must be some secret. I need to find out who Yue Xiaomin conspired with to frame me—Zhan Qingchen or Bai Yulou? Perhaps she has her own reasons. After all, I owe her something. Maybe I can help her?” Xiao Tianci sighed softly.

“Let us investigate,” Mudan interjected.

“No, none of the four of you are very skilled in martial arts. The White Alliance is full of experts right now. It would be too dangerous for you to go. So I’ll go. You all stay here and guard the place. The White Alliance might come here to cause trouble.” Xiao Tianci disagreed with Mudan going there for another reason: there was someone he could only see personally.

“The White Alliance is definitely busy dealing with the Demonic Sect right now. They don’t have time to care about us,” Shaoyao said, sounding a little dissatisfied.

“That’s not necessarily true. The reason the Demonic Sect is so difficult to deal with isn’t just because its members are highly skilled in martial arts, but also because their whereabouts are hard to pinpoint. No one knows the exact location of their headquarters. We’re different. They can easily find us here with a simple investigation. They might not be able to handle the Demonic Sect, so they might come after us first,” Xiao Tianci explained.

“Who’s there?” Xiao Tianci shouted, wondering if he’d been right so quickly.

“Quick, I’m looking for Xiao Tianci!” A white figure rushed in from outside the hall, her voice urgent.

“It’s you? What’s wrong?” Xiao Tianci recognized the woman; it was the white-clad girl he had forcibly taken from before. He later learned her name from elsewhere: Shui Yun. But now, she seemed a little off. Her face had an unnatural flush, and her legs seemed unsteady. Normally, someone with her martial arts skills shouldn’t be like this.

“You really are here.” Shui Yun’s face showed a relieved expression. “Quick, save me! I’ve been drugged with aphrodisiacs, I can’t hold on much longer.” She leaned towards Xiao Tianci.

"What?!" Xiao Tianci was shocked. How could this be? He supported Shui Yun with one hand, while still holding Nalan Ruoshui with the other.

"A stroke of good fortune delivered to your doorstep, go and enjoy it." Dongfang Qin said to Xiao Tianci with a hint of jealousy.

"Sister Qin, I... I can't just watch her die like this." Xiao Tianci tried to explain.

"I know, you should save her quickly. It's a good thing she managed to come here to find you at this time. She's done right by you." Dongfang Qin's tone softened. Although she was jealous, she wasn't unreasonable. "Leave Ruoshui to me." She said, reaching out to hug Ruoshui. "Ruoshui, let's go play." Unexpectedly, Nalan Ruoshui left Xiao Tianci's arms without saying a word.

"Go inside quickly, she's dying." Xiao Yuya said softly. Xiao Tianci saw that Shui Yun's face was indeed getting redder and her body was getting hotter. He looked at Xiao Yuya apologetically, picked up Shui Yun, and hurriedly went into the inner room.

“Anything is possible in this world. Brother Xiao sits at home and beauties come knocking on his door, while I, a self-proclaimed amorous young master, haven’t met a single one in all this time. Sigh.” Lan Tianfeng sighed.

“Is that so? I seem to remember someone saying a few days ago that they went to inquire about Brother Xiao, but it seems they ended up at Yihong Courtyard.” Gu Feng mocked.

“That’s because you don’t understand. Don’t you know I went there to inquire about Brother Xiao too?” Lan Tianfeng’s face became slightly unnatural.

“Oh, so you mean you think Brother Xiao went to Yihong Courtyard?” Gu Feng looked enlightened.

“I just said it’s possible.” As soon as he said it, he realized his mistake; several pairs of eyes were glaring at him like fire.

“Brother Lan, what did you just say?” Shaoyao’s voice was sweet as she approached Lan Tianfeng.

“No, no, I just said I went to Yihong Courtyard.” Lan Tianfeng smiled apologetically.

“Really? Oh, did I hear you wrong? But I think I heard you say that Young Master went to Yihong Courtyard? Sister Baihe, is that right?” Shaoyao looked confused.

“Miss Peony, I was just saying. Even if he really goes, it's no big deal. Men are all like that.” Lan Tianfeng was a bit oblivious to the danger.

“Let me tell you, others can go, but my young master can’t! If you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I can make every girl hate you!” Peony suddenly snapped.

“Huh? Really? Is that true?” Lan Tianfeng seemed startled.

“Eh, what do you mean, ‘is that true’? What is it?” Gu Feng didn’t understand.

“Let me tell you, I heard it from someone else. It’s said that the Hundred Flowers Palace has a secret recipe that can make any woman fall in love with a man after he takes it. Oh no, I’ve offended the wrong person.” Lan Tianfeng whispered in Gu Feng’s ear.

**********

As soon as Xiao Tianci entered the inner room, Shui Yun, panting softly, clung to him, desperately tugging at his clothes. It was completely unexpected that this usually aloof girl was now acting like a wanton woman; the aphrodisiac must have been incredibly potent.

Xiao Tianci had no choice but to quickly remove their clothes himself; any later and Shui Yun would have torn them. Shui Yun's hot body writhed in his arms, emitting alluring moans. Xiao Tianci kissed her fiercely, thrusting into her exquisite body. Shui Yun clung tightly to Xiao Tianci's waist, passionately responding…

This intense lovemaking lasted for a full two hours before finally stopping. The effects of the aphrodisiac wore off, and Shui Yun, exhausted, fell asleep. Xiao Tianci gently stroked Shui Yun's naked skin, his heart filled with mixed emotions. The first time, he had raped her; this time, she had been drugged. Unexpectedly, their relationship had developed this way. However, he felt a little comforted that Shui Yun hadn't been insulted by anyone, and the fact that she insisted on finding him under these circumstances meant she must have forgiven him.

It was already past midnight. Knowing what Xiao Tianci was doing, no one came looking for him. The group of women also knew that Shui Yun would definitely want Xiao Tianci by her side at this time, so they tried their best not to disturb them.

Shui Yun woke up from her deep sleep and found Xiao Tianci looking at her affectionately. Her face flushed, and she whispered, "Thank you."

"Why thank me? I'd be more than happy to have this kind of good thing." Xiao Tianci smiled at her, his hands beginning to roam over her body again.

"You! Can't you be serious for once?" Shui Yun said coquettishly, "You big pervert, all you do is bully me."

"Well, I'll be serious now." Xiao Tianci was serious in words, but his hands were still not, continuing to explore. "How did you get drugged?"

"It's all that bastard Ling Xiaofang's fault." Shui Yun said hatefully, "He's the one who drugged me. I never thought he would be such a beast in human form."

"You're no good either. I haven't settled the score with you for what you did to me that time." Before Xiao Tianci could speak, Shui Yun turned her attention to him again, biting him twice.

"My dear Yun'er, please forgive me. I just couldn't help myself that time. Who told you to be so beautiful?" Xiao Tianci said, entering her body again and starting a new round of attacks.

"You pervert, using this trick on me." Shui Yun cursed softly, but her body involuntarily responded to him.

"You pervert, are you satisfied now?" After the storm had passed, Shui Yun gripped Xiao Tianci tightly, refusing to let go.

"Ouch!" Xiao Tianci cried out, but Shui Yun silenced him with a kiss.

"Let me tell you, I'm not someone to be trifled with." A full quarter of an hour passed before Shui Yun finally released him, looking smug.

"Yun'er, you're really something." Xiao Tianci smiled bitterly. Why did he always get abused after enjoying tenderness?

"Hmph, I'm trying to talk to you about something serious, and you're just being silly. Serves you right." Shui Yun wrinkled her cute nose.

"By the way, Yun'er, continue. Why is Ling Xiaofang targeting you? Does he like you? Or does he know about our relationship and want revenge?" Xiao Tianci quickly tried to change the subject.

"No, and besides, I have nothing to do with you. Don't think I'm yours now." Shui Yun rolled her eyes at him. "He originally wanted to get rid of my junior sister, Crystal, but in the end, I was the one who fell for it. That bastard, I won't let him get away with it."

"Really? Isn't Crystal clearly his woman? Why would he use aphrodisiacs on her?" Xiao Tianci was truly confused now.

"What do you know? Although my junior sister is his fiancée, they haven't officially married yet, so she hasn't gone through that final hurdle with him. Do you think everyone is like you, not letting any woman around you go?" Shui Yun seemed to remember something else and pinched him again.

"But they still have to get married eventually. Isn't Ling Xiaofang in a hurry?" Xiao Tianci still didn't understand. "That's related to you. Ling Xiaofang has been defeated by you several times recently, and Master is increasingly dissatisfied with him. So Master wants to cancel the engagement between Junior Sister and him because Master thinks Ling Xiaofang has no future. Ling Xiaofang naturally doesn't want to let go, so he wants to force things to become a fait accompli." Shui Yun looked at Xiao Tianci with a "you're so stupid" expression.

"Your Master is too opportunistic." Xiao Tianci was speechless. Why are all these people so mercenary?

"What do you mean by opportunistic? Do you think Ling Xiaofang truly loves Junior Sister? He's only after the power of our Crystal Palace. He only loves An Ling, but you stole her away. I think Master did the right thing, not letting Junior Sister marry him." Shui Yun said indignantly, remembering how she almost lost her virginity, and felt very resentful towards Ling Xiaofang. (Actually, she did lose her virginity).

"I'm going to settle accounts with that guy. How dare he mess with my wife! I'll make him pay." Xiao Tianci tried to appease Shui Yun.

"Who asked you to go? And I'm not your wife. Don't let Master know about us, or I won't let you off the hook." Shui Yun glared at Xiao Tianci.

"Why?" Xiao Tianci really didn't understand women's minds. He could understand Qiu Shuiyao wanting to hide it from him, and he could barely explain Qin Mengru's actions, but why was Shui Yun using this tactic?

"Anyway, don't let Master know." Shui Yun said quietly, "I've already forgiven you for what you did to me, can't you just listen to me?"

"Fine, then I can secretly go see you in the future, right? Also, if you don't let Master know, how am I supposed to settle accounts with Ling Xiaofang?" Xiao Tianci said helplessly.

"I told you not to look for him, I won't let him get away with it. It's almost dawn, I have to go back." Shui Yun said, getting up.

"Stay with me a little longer." Xiao Tianci hugged her, not letting her get up.
