The Complete Book of Immortals, Heroes, and Demons - Chapter 17

Episode 7: Adding Fuel to the Fire / Chapter 5: The Witch Qianqian

Xin Xing used her flying ability to leave a trail and traveled a distance. Seeing no one chasing her, she stopped and cursed inwardly,
"I've run into this troublesome woman again! What bad luck! Luckily, I'm not the same as before; catching me
won't be so easy. Wait, something's not right! She suddenly came to Chang'an; did she already know I was here?
If so, this is really bad. I'd better quickly discuss it with Zi Qiong and see if she has a plan."
With this thought, she quickened her pace and hurried home.

Xin Xing strode into the Yang family's hall, bumping into two people and nearly knocking them over. Looking
closer , she saw it was Yun'er and Xiao Que'er.

Yun'er asked, "Young Master, what happened? You seemed to be in a hurry."

Xin Xing smiled, opened his arms, and pulled the two women into his embrace, kissing each of them on the cheek. The two women
blushed , then Xin Xing laughed and said, "Nothing, I just ran into a 'dog skin plaster.' If she stuck to me,
I wouldn't have survived long. Luckily, I ran fast."

The two women didn't understand and said in unison, "A 'dog skin plaster'?"

Xin Xing nodded and smiled, "That's right, it's a 'dog skin plaster.' By the way, have you seen Zi Qiong? Is she
in her room? I need to talk to her."

Xiao Que'er said, "Yes, Sister Zi Qiong should be in her room. I just came out of her room."

Xin Xing lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek again, saying, "I'll go find Zi Qiong first, and then I
'll talk to you later." After saying that, he released the two women and went straight into the inner room.

Ziqiong was indeed in her room. The moment they met, Xinxing immediately grasped her hand and hurriedly said, "Something
terrible has happened! That little witch has actually come to Chang'an, with four demon generals by her side. I caught her red-handed just now, and she
almost captured me!"

Ziqiong's eyebrows furrowed, and she asked, "You mean Huo Qianqian?"

Xinxing nodded, "That's her. Those two double-dragon staffs are truly powerful
. Just now, I used one staff at a time, beating those four demon generals so badly they were lying on the ground, unable to get up for a long time. It was so exhilarating!"

Ziqiong asked, "Did you hurt them?"

Xinxing scratched his head and said, "I'm not sure, but they all have the Eight Yin Qi Waves protecting them." " Even if you are injured, I believe
it won't be serious."

Upon hearing this, Ziqiong seemed relieved and nodded, saying, "That's good. In the current environment, it's not advisable to make
more enemies. If we anger Huo You, and those two siblings join forces, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with them."

Xin Xing said, "I'm worried about something. That demoness suddenly appeared in Chang'an, and she may already know I'm
here. If that's the case, it would be extremely bad. Ziqiong, I want you to do some divination for me and see if you can find out
anything so I can be at ease."

Ziqiong smiled and said, "Alright, if I don't help you, I'm sure you won't be able to sleep well tonight." Xin Xing nodded
repeatedly upon hearing this. Huo Qianqian's appearance was indeed worrying, and Ziqiong also wanted to find out her whereabouts as soon as possible and prepare a way
to deal with her . She immediately did some divination with her fingers, and after only a short while, Ziqiong's expression changed slightly.

Xin Xing was secretly startled and hurriedly asked, "How is it? Has she already come here?"

Zi Qiong did not answer him, her mind preoccupied with another matter: "It's really strange. Since she is
the daughter of the Heavenly Demon Luo Huo You, how can she have such a strong mortal aura? Could it be that she..." The more Zi Qiong thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
She calculated with her fingers and couldn't help but frown again, thinking to herself, "One of her twelve life palaces is blank. Huo You obviously doesn't want outsiders
to know her background, so he used a magic spell to seal it. What secret does Huo Qianqian have? Is she human or a demon?
Is Huo You her biological father?"

Seeing her silent and pondering, Xin Xing became curious and asked again.

Ziqiong slowly raised her head and asked Xinxing, "Huo Qianqian touched you today, didn't she?"

Xinxing tilted his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, why do you ask?"

Ziqiong said, "That's strange. Did she come close to you?"

Xinxing nodded and said, "Yes, she walked up to me, glared at me, and started cursing. If she weren't
a woman, I would have punched her..."

Ziqiong smiled slightly, "That's right, she must have done something behind the scenes."

Xinxing was confused and asked blankly, "What did she do? Could it be... could it be that this vixen is on me?
" "Poisoning? Is that it?"

Ziqiong said, "No, she just smeared Guigu incense on your clothes. Many martial arts figures
use it to track enemies. Guigu incense comes from the Western Regions. Its petals are slender and yellowish-white, and its leaves have a faint fragrance. Because
the fragrance is not strong, it is difficult for people to detect. But this fragrance is very special. It is a scent that ordinary people cannot smell, but
it is different for butterflies. Even butterflies a mile away can be attracted by the fragrance." Then Ziqiong pointed her jade hand to
the top of Xinxing's head: "Take a look for yourself."

Xinxing looked up and saw two butterflies flying above his head: "Huh! How come..." "They'll fly into the room?"

Ziqiong said, "These butterflies followed you in when you entered the room. I didn't think much of it at the time, but it turns out
they were following your scent. You might as well go outside and take a look. If I'm not mistaken,
a large swarm of butterflies has already arrived outside."

Xinxing walked to the window, and as soon as she opened it, several butterflies flew into the room. Looking at the courtyard outside,
she immediately stuck out her tongue, quickly closed the window, and exclaimed, "Good heavens! There are so many butterflies outside, at least
hundreds! What... what am I going to do? If I'm followed by hundreds of butterflies all day long..." "This is outrageous!"

Ziqiong smiled, "Don't worry, as long as you take off your clothes and wash them clean, the fragrance will dissipate, and the butterflies will
naturally fly away."

Upon hearing this, Xinxing hurriedly took off his outer garment, his anger
rising , "It's all that witch's fault... Oh no, could she have followed the butterflies here?"

Ziqiong said, "You only thought of that now? You're really slow on the uptake. She secretly applied Guigu Fragrance to your clothes;
her purpose is crystal clear. Besides, she's already here. It seems too late for you to avoid her."

Xinxing was shocked, "Really? She... she's already... here..." He immediately stammered.

Ziqiong nodded and smiled, "Why would I lie to you?"

Xinxing heard this and slapped his forehead, then sat down, his face contorted in pain. "
What do we do now? Once this shrew gets involved, it'll never end. Ziqiong, you have to help me think of something,
please!"

Ziqiong, however, didn't think that way. Instead, she wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to Huo Qianqian, hoping to uncover the truth behind what had just happened.
A mystery. She shook her head and said, "I don't think running away will solve anything. Since she's already come
knocking , you might as well

confront her and settle things once and for all." Xin Xing said, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy! We're natural enemies. Every time we meet, she always
starts a fight with me. Besides, I beat her up last time, so how could she let me off so easily this time!"

Zi Qiong said, "With your current skills, are you really afraid of her?"

Xin Xing shook his head and sighed, "Alas! I don't have any deep-seated hatred for her. As a dignified man,
I simply can't bring myself to use force to bully a woman. That's what's causing this headache!"

Huo Qianqian followed the butterfly flock to the Yang family. Just as she was about to enter, she was stopped by the Yang family disciples guarding the door. Huo
Qianqian raised her eyebrows, straightened her back, and said, "I'm looking for that..." "Hey, you brat surnamed Xin, go and call him out."

The two gatekeepers looked at each other, momentarily confused. "Surnamed Xin? There are over a hundred
disciples in the Yang Clan of Guanzhong, but none of them are surnamed Xin. Miss, you've probably come to the wrong place."

Huo Qianqian craned her neck and peered into the plaza inside. Sure enough, she saw over a hundred butterflies fluttering around the plaza. She
immediately cursed, "Who are you trying to fool? I know he must be inside. You stinky little dumpling, you don't need to hide anymore, get out here right now
..."

Upon hearing the word "dumpling," the gatekeepers immediately understood. One of them said, "So, Miss is looking for our
young master." Ever since Yang Quting took Xin Xing as his adopted son, everyone in the Yang Clan had always called him the young
master, while the master's wife called him "dumpling." As a result, most people only knew his nickname and not his real
name.

Huo Qianqian was stunned by his words and hurriedly asked, "No way, that stinky Taoist priest is such a
young sect leader?"

The disciple smiled and said, "Yes, he is my master's adopted son, so naturally he is the young sect leader. May I ask your surname, young lady,
and your relationship with our young sect leader? I will inform you immediately."

Huo Qianqian nodded and smiled, "I see. My surname is Huo, and I am his wife."

Upon hearing this, the two disciples immediately widened their eyes. Everyone in the Yang family already knew that Ziqiong was Xin Xing's fiancée,
so how could they not be astonished that this young girl actually claimed to be his wife? "Young lady, you...you are really our young sect leader's
wife?"

Huo Qianqian raised her eyebrows and glared, "What do you mean by true or false? Are you two taking me to see him or not?"

The two disciples were intimidated by her overwhelming aura and hurriedly said, "Yes...yes! Please come to the hall for tea."
They immediately led the way to the hall, invited them to sit down and serve tea, and then went inside to inform Yang Quting and his wife.

When Yang Quting and his wife heard that Xin Xing's wife had arrived, they were both surprised. Yang Quting said to his wife, "I thought
Dou'er only had Ziqiong as his fiancée, but I didn't expect he already had a wife."

Madam Yang said, "I've never heard Dou'er mention this before. I wonder what kind of woman she is?"

Yang Quting said, "No wonder they always make excuses to postpone his marriage with Ziqiong. I think
it's very likely because of this."

The couple entered the hall and saw Huo Qianqian standing in front of several potted plants, looking at them with great interest.
She was completely unaware that Yang Quting and his wife had entered the hall. The couple slowly approached her. Yang Quting
stroked his beard and smiled, "Seeing how engrossed you are, young lady, you must be a lover of flowers."

Huo Qianqian turned around at the sound of their voices and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties standing next to a beautiful middle-aged woman. Huo
Qianqian only glanced at the two of them briefly, not caring about their identities, and pointed to the potted flowers, asking, "
These flowers are so special! Eight large white flowers surround a cluster of smaller flowers. This is the first time I've ever seen them. What are they called?"

Yang Quting saw that she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a youthful face, but her appearance was exceptionally beautiful. Hearing her
innocent and genuine question, without any pretense, he smiled slightly and said, "This flower is called Qionghua,
also known as Qionghua. Its shape resembles a jade basin, with eight large, five-petaled flowers surrounding a cluster of butterfly-like stamens.
Whenever a gentle breeze blows, it trembles and sways, like butterflies playing with pearls, or like the Eight Immortals dancing, hence the name 'Gathering
of the Eight Immortals .' These pots of Qionghua were passed down from my great-grandfather and are over a hundred years old; they are a very long-lived flower."

Huo Qianqian shook her head and said, "Gathering of the Eight Immortals doesn't sound good; Qionghua is a better name." Yang Qutingfu
The women smiled slightly upon hearing this. Huo Qianqian raised her head and looked at Yang Quting and his wife. Seeing their
elegant , she asked, "You...you are Dou'er's godparents?"

Madam Yang nodded and smiled, "And you? Who are you?"

Huo Qianqian replied without hesitation, "My name is Huo Qianqian, and I am Dou'er's wife. I already said that, don't you
believe me?"

Just then, Xin Xing's voice suddenly rang out, "Witch, I have absolutely no relation to you, don't
talk nonsense ." Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xin Xing walking briskly towards them, with Ziqiong and Yun'er following closely behind.

Huo Qianqian was initially overjoyed to see Xin Xing, but upon hearing his words, her expression changed drastically, and
she erupted , "You...you dare to say you have absolutely no relation to me!" She stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, intending to
argue with him.

Xin Xing shrugged, shaking off Huo Qianqian's hand, and said to Yang Quting and his wife, "She's just a troublemaker
, don't listen to her."

Yang Quting and his wife were completely bewildered, exchanging glances. Madam Yang asked, "Dou'er, what
's going on? Miss Huo says she's your wife, is it true or false?"

Dou'er and Huo Qianqian spoke at the same time, one saying, "Of course it's true!" while the other said, "Of course it's
false!" As soon as they finished speaking, Yang Jinglin, Yang Jingxiu, the Gong siblings, and Ma Yuanba and his daughter entered the hall. They
saw the two of them with their hands on their hips, glaring angrily, looking ready to fight at any moment.

Huo Qianqian retorted angrily, "You heartless Taoist priest! I'm already yours, and you still say it
has nothing to do . Fine, dare you say in front of everyone that we never did anything like that?" Huo Qianqian was deeply
pampered and spoiled by Huo You, and had been unrestrained since childhood. She did whatever she wanted, acting recklessly and without restraint. Moreover, having grown up in the Heavenly Demon Palace,
she knew nothing of common etiquette and morality. Now, she was publicly berating Xin Xing, leaving everyone speechless and
staring in astonishment.

Madam Yang looked embarrassed and said to Xin Xing, "A man must be courageous and responsible for his actions. If
such a thing really happened, he should take responsibility and not harm the girl."

Xin Xing hurriedly said, "Mother, please listen to what Dou'er has to say. This demoness... actually, she... she..." But
thinking of her identity, he immediately stopped, thinking that even if he told her, who would believe that she was the daughter of an evil demon?

Hearing Madam Yang's words and seeing that she had no intention of protecting Xin Xing, Huo Qianqian's eyes darted around, and she immediately
devised a plan. Seizing the opportunity, she pressed her advantage, putting on a sorrowful and pitiful expression, and said, "Speak!
Why speak? You bullied me and then ran away. I've searched everywhere for you for over a year, traveling
all over the country. Luckily, I found you today, but you...you treated me like this..." Before
she could finish , she burst into tears.

Xin Xing, being an extremely intelligent person, only glanced at her, and without needing to look any further, he already knew
what . But Madam Yang was different. Seeing Huo Qianqian crying so pitifully, her heart softened immediately. She stepped forward and
hugged her, comforting her, "Don't cry. Although Dou'er is my adopted son, I know he's not a heartless
person. Let's sit down and discuss it properly; it will be resolved eventually."

Madam Yang understood that although Xin Xing was now her adopted son, he wasn't her biological son. Moreover, he had been
kind to the Yang family, and it was inconvenient to criticize Xin Xing's past private affairs. She had spent some time with Xin Xing and
knew his character and temperament quite well, and she truly believed that Xin Xing wasn't that kind of person.

Yang Quting was an old hand at life, with his own unique perspective on people and things. Observing coldly, he saw that although the couple were talking
and glaring, their expressions and actions made them seem like a pair of troublesome little devils. He just didn't know
what caused them to be so petty. Since that's the case, outsiders probably can't help much anyway. The best
way is to let them solve it themselves. So he said, "Judging from the relationship between you and Dou'er, you can be considered family.
May I call you Qianqian?"

Huo Qianqian nodded and said, "Sure, that's what my father calls me too."

When Xin Xing heard Yang Quting's words, he knew things were in big trouble and quickly said, "I won't be family with her!
Father, don't fall for her tricks."

Madam Yang said, "Dou'er, don't say anything yet. Your parents will explain." Helpless, Xin Xing could only
remain silent and stare at Huo Qianqian with his eyes. Madam Yang softly asked Huo Qianqian, "You just mentioned that
you've been searching for Dou'er for over a year. How can your parents be at ease with a young woman running around alone?"

Huo Qianqian replied, "My father loves me the most. Knowing I was going to find that heartless fellow, he sent
a few of his men with me. As for my mother, I don't know anything about her. I've been with my father since I was little and have never seen my
own mother. I asked my father, but he wouldn't tell me."

Madam Yang sighed, "What a pitiful child! By the way, what's your father's name?"

Upon being asked, Huo Qianqian immediately replied, "My father is a very important person, named Huo You."

Having just heard Huo Qianqian's words, the Yang couple assumed her father must be a martial arts practitioner.
Hearing the name Huo You, they racked their brains but couldn't recall anyone in the martial arts world. They both thought that even if her
father was a martial arts practitioner, he was probably the leader of some small gang or sect, so they didn't press the matter further. The couple
could never have imagined that her father was a powerful demon commander leading over 100,000 demon soldiers.

Hearing Huo Qianqian's words, Ziqiong became even more puzzled about her background. She knew that the key to uncovering Huo Qianqian
's mystery lay with her mother, but who was her mother? Even she, a celestial being
, couldn't figure it out. Ziqiong couldn't help but admire Huo You's abilities.

Madam Yang asked, "Qianqian, where are your father's men? Why didn't they come with you?"

Huo Qianqian replied, "These useless fellows only get in my way. I've already sent
them all back. Besides, I don't need anyone to protect me. Ordinary people can't bully me so easily."

Yang Quting smiled slightly, "Qianqian, your martial arts are quite good.

May I ask which school your father belongs to?"

Huo Qianqian shook her head, "Father forbade me to say. This… I can't say that."

Hearing this, Yang Quting didn't press further. Knowing that some people have strayed onto the wrong path, learning unorthodox methods
but unwilling to reveal them, and others, to preserve their strength, unwilling to expose their origins beforehand,
it's not surprising that many in the martial world refuse to disclose their lineage.

Xin Xing, however, snorted, thinking, "Of course you wouldn't dare say it. A heretical, demonic master—I
doubt you'd dare say it either. One day, I'll definitely find this great demon and teach you
monsters 'll know my power."

Seeing Xin Xing's expression, Huo Qianqian immediately retorted angrily, "What are you snorting about? Do you dare
challenge ? You're overestimating yourself, carrying water to the river to sell."

Seeing the two bickering, Madam Yang found it somewhat amusing and said to Huo Qianqian, "Although I don't know you and..."
"What was wrong with Dou'er before? Now that you've come here, we should all try to make a clean break.
Besides, you and Dou'er are so close now, you should get along even more. We can't let things continue like this! For now, Qianqian
, you can stay here. I'll deal with your situation with Dou'er after I've found out more about it. Is that alright?"

Huo Qianqian had come here with exactly this in mind, and hearing Madam Yang's words was exactly what she wanted. Of course she agreed, so
without hesitation, she nodded and smiled, "You're so kind, Qianqian." "I won't stand on ceremony."

Xin Xing became anxious and shouted, "Absolutely not! Of course you won't stand on ceremony. If she stays here, there will be
no peace from now on! I object!"

Madam Yang said, "Dou'er, you don't need to say anymore. If you two have truly consummated your marriage, how can you be so
heartless? I'm doing this for your own good. Let's do this: let me investigate first."

Huo Qianqian was overjoyed and said, "Since I'm already his woman, shouldn't I share a room with him?"

Xin Xing immediately cursed, "You vixen, stop!" "If you dare step into my room, don't blame me for being impolite."

Madam Yang frowned and said, "How can you call me a vixen like that? It sounds awful!" Then she
said to Huo Qianqian, "It's not good to do this before we understand the situation. I'll have someone arrange a
room . Stay here first."

Huo Qianqian had no choice but to nod in agreement, thinking, "As long as I stay here, I won't be afraid you'll fly to the sky.
Hehe! That's wonderful..."

Madam Yang instructed Qiulan beside her to prepare a room for Huo Qianqian.

Episode 7, Part 5 (End)

Episode 7: Adding Fuel to the Fire / Part 6: Offering Advice

Xin Xing glared fiercely at Huo Qianqian and then bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Yang Quting, saying, "Dou'er is a little tired and wants to go back
to her room to rest." Since Xin Xing came to the Yang family, Mr. and Mrs. Yang Quting had treated him like their own child, showing him great care and concern.
He didn't want to argue any further about his own affairs, as it would only make things more difficult for the elderly couple.

The couple noticed his droopy eyes; his usual vibrant demeanor was completely gone.

Just as Xin Xing was about to leave the hall with Zi Qiong, Madam Yang suddenly said, "Zi Qiong, can you stay?
I have something I'd like to discuss with you." Zi Qiong knew it must be related to Xin Xing's matter and immediately nodded in agreement.

Xin Xing had no choice but to return on his own. Huo Qianqian called out from behind, "You brat, are you just leaving like that?
I want you to stay here with me!" Xin Xing ignored her and left without looking back.

Yun'er and Xiao Que'er quickly chased after him. When they reached his side, Xiao Que'er immediately asked, "
Who is that Huo Qianqian? I heard that she is your wife, is that true?"

Xin Xing replied, "Of course not. In short, from this day forward, I will not have a single day of peace!"

Yun'er laughed and said, "I know, she is the dog-skin medicine you mentioned."

Xin Xing sighed deeply, "I want to walk alone for a while. You two go back first, don't worry about me."

Seeing his dejected appearance, although they shared the same sentiment and wanted to stay and comfort him, they had
no choice but to leave after hearing his words.

Xin Xing strolled into the garden, pondering how to shake off Huo Qianqian's entanglement.
He racked his brains n't come up with a good solution, and grew increasingly angry: "You wretched woman,
what grudge did I have against you in my past life? Why are you always clinging to me like this! Do you expect me to leave because of her? Even if I did leave, I
could only escape for a while, not forever. As long as I remain in Chang'an, she will find me sooner or later. Besides,
the matter with Luo Cha Ye Ji hasn't been settled yet; how could Zi Qiong possibly leave with me?"

Lost in thought, suddenly... The sight reminded Xin Xing of something: "Oh no, that vixen is still here.
How could that great demon Huo You not know? If he finds his way here, won't that bring disaster to the Yang family? No, I absolutely can't let
that happen. What should I do?"

The more Xin Xing thought about it, the more chaotic his thoughts became. A feeling of frustration welled up inside him, and he picked up a
pebble With a flick of his right hand, the pebble shot out and flew straight into the pond. With a "splash," a
carp slowly floated to the surface, its head smashed to pieces by the pebble.

A clear female voice suddenly rang out: "If you want to vent your anger, you can't kill living beings!"

Xin Xing turned around and saw a woman standing not far behind him. It was none other than Yang Jingxiu, the third young lady of the Yang family. Xin Xing
saw it was her and scratched his head

, saying, "I didn't mean to. I was just trying to shoot a mosquito's whiskers, and I actually hit it." Yang Jingxiu slowly walked to his side and sat down on a rock by the pond, saying, "I never expected that you and
my second brother are the same kind of people, both womanizers, leaving their mark everywhere."

Xin Xing smiled bitterly, "I don't have that ability. I'm just annoyed by this vixen surnamed Huo
. Maybe it's fate that I had to run into her. By the way, I heard from Yun'er that my eldest sister is getting married to my cousin soon
. That's something to be happy about."

Yang Jingxiu nodded, "Ever since Tian Yiqing delivered..." After the incident, my eldest sister was dejected and listless. Fortunately, my cousin
often comforted her, and she gradually forgot about it. Besides, the two of them were already in love, and seeing this, Mother
gave her blessing. This matter was only decided a few days ago. The wedding date is set for the fifteenth of next month. I thought Mother had already
told you.”

Xin Xing shook his head and said, “These past few days, I’ve been busy with matters in the palace and haven’t returned until late at night. I haven’t seen Mother for many days.”
Xin Xing looked at Yang Jingxiu, and an embarrassing past incident with her suddenly surfaced in his mind. Because of this incident, the originally
innocent and lively girl had become like a clay sculpture, a wooden beauty. Xin Xing felt
very guilty about this.

Having finally found this opportunity, Xin Xing mustered his courage and said in a low voice, "Jingxiu, it's
been over a year since I've had a proper conversation with you. About... about what happened between us recently, it was indeed my
fault . I hope you won't blame me."

Yang Jingxiu hadn't expected him to bring it up so suddenly. Her fading memories resurfaced,
and She lowered her head and said, "I don't blame you, and you didn't do anything wrong." The reason she
had been avoiding Xin Xing wasn't just because of their past relationship. What embarrassed her most was letting Xin Xing know about
their incestuous relationship. As the saying goes, "Don't wash your dirty linen in public." Thinking of this, she had no face to face Xin Xing
, and the only way was to run away.

Xin Xing then remembered something and asked, "These past few months, I've noticed that my cousin Xuan Yan is always beaming
and radiant, like a completely different person. I asked Yun'er about it before, but she shook her head and said she didn't know. I know you and
my cousin have always been close, so what could be making her so happy? Do you know?"

Yang Jingxiu replied, "After my second brother was murdered, she was indeed heartbroken, but things are different now.
She has found a new love, and they're very much in love. How could she not be happy?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Xing immediately became interested and asked with a smile, "Which man is so fortunate?"

Yang Jingxiu said, "It's not an outsider, it's my sixth senior brother, Ji Tianruo." There are many disciples of the Yang family in Guanzhong, totaling more than
a hundred. Among them, ten are direct disciples of Yang Quting, known in the martial arts world as the Ten Sons of the Yang Family.
Of , besides the eldest senior brother Tian Yiqing who was convicted of a crime, the fourth senior brother Liu Zhong also passed away from illness many years ago, leaving only
the Eight Sons of the Yang Family.

Xin Xing asked, "Is it that refined, square-faced Ji Tianruo?" Yang Jingxiu nodded, and Xin
Xing continued with a smile, "I really didn't expect her to change her mind so quickly, but it's a good thing. Seeing her like this now
, I'm truly happy for her."

Yang Jingxiu glanced at him and said, "And it's not just her. Xiao Que'er, Shu Rou, and your maid
Yun'er, haven't they all changed their minds long ago?"

Xin Xing blushed and quickly changed the subject, "Do Father and Mother know about their affair?"

Yang Jingxiu shook her head and said, "Cousin Xuan Yan is very discreet this time. I believe that besides me, even
Cousin probably doesn't know." "And what about other people?"

Xin Xing nodded and smiled. "By the way, you...you're a girl, so you naturally understand girls' affairs. I want to
know...I know..."

Yang Jingxiu saw him hesitate, stammering, looking rather silly, and couldn't help but chuckle.
She asked, "Just tell me what you want to ask me. What is it?"

Xin Xing scratched his head and said, "How can I make a girl angry, hate and despise me? Ideally, I'd make
her leave immediately and never see me again."

Yang Jingxiu smiled slightly. "You want to provoke Huo Qianqian so that she'll leave on her own." Xin Xing quickly...
Nodding, Yang Jingxiu said, "In my opinion, she must really like you, right?"

Xin Xing spat, "No way! That vixen wishes I were dead. You know, the day she
captured me, she even immobilized me with her acupoints. I almost died at her hands. If it weren't for Ziqiong saving me in time,
I believe I would be long gone."

Yang Jingxiu was astonished, "Really? I find it hard to believe. Just now, although she looked fierce
, the way she looked at you was full of tender affection, not a trace of hatred. Not just me, I believe everyone else here
felt ."

Xin Xing sighed, "You've all been fooled by her. She's a master of deception. Don't be fooled by her appearance..." "She appears respectable on the surface
, but is actually a poisonous poison hidden deep inside, more venomous than a snake or scorpion."

Hearing Xin Xing's words, Yang Jingxiu still wasn't entirely convinced, so she said, "I don't have a sure thing
about to hear my advice?"

Without hesitation, Xin Xing exclaimed happily, "Yes! I'll try anything, even if there's only a sliver of hope!"

Yang Jingxiu said, "I can only give you eight words: 'Ignore her, treat her with indifference.' Women are
the most prone to comparison and jealousy; I believe you understand what I mean."

Upon hearing this, Xin Xing slapped his thigh and said, "That works! Even if we can't get rid of her, we can at least
infuriate ." The more Xin Xing thought about it, the more pleased he felt, and he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

After this conversation, the old grudges between the two gradually dissipated, and they returned to their former lives.

After parting ways with Yang Jingxiu, Xin Xing immediately ran to Linglong Pavilion. Upon seeing Ziqiong, he asked, "What did Mother say to you
? Was it about that vixen?"

Ziqiong replied, "She only mentioned it briefly; I don't know anything about it."

Xin Xing scratched his head and said, "That's strange. If Mother wasn't asking about that, why did she call you there?"

Ziqiong smiled gently and said, "It's about your marriage, but not Huo Qianqian, it's about Xiao Que'er."

Upon hearing this, Xin Xing's eyes widened, staring at her for a long time, unable to process what she was seeing. "You
...you mean Xiao Que'er? What...what's going on?"

Ziqiong said, "Yesterday, Ma Yuanba went to see Madam Yang to betroth Xiao Que'er to you. Madam Yang has always
considered me your fiancée, so she discussed it with me."

Xin Xing exclaimed, "Too sudden? Why didn't Xiao Que'er tell me beforehand, but went directly to Mother?"

Ziqiong smiled and said, "Perhaps she was shy."

Xin Xing said, " "What's there to be embarrassed about? Yes, what does Mother plan to do? Has she agreed?"

Ziqiong said, "It's come to this point, can Madam Yang still object? Alright, I won't
beat around the bush , Xiao Que'er is pregnant with your child, you're about to become a father, you know?"

Xin Xing immediately jumped up: "She...she's pregnant with my child, this...this..."

Ziqiong nodded and smiled: "Ma Yuanba said that although Xiao Que'er is pregnant with your child, he knows our
relationship, so he wants me to be the head of the household and Xiao Que'er to be his concubine. That's why Madam Yang discussed this with me. But I've already
refused, indicating that I won't marry you for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Xin Xing couldn't help but shout: "Why? Why are you saying this? If you don't marry me
, I won't want anyone else. Ziqiong, you know, Dou'er can't live without you."

Ziqiong shook her head and said: "Dou'er, listen to me first. Outsiders don't know my identity, but you do.
If..." " If I were to marry you, it would be a violation of the Heavenly Rules. The Heavenly Court would immediately know, and the Goddess of Mystery would surely summon
me back. We would then be separated by heaven and earth, never to meet again."

Xin Xing slumped down, "Can't you ever be my wife? No, there must be another way
, right?"

Zi Qiong sighed, "You still don't understand. Not only can I not be your wife in the mortal realm, but even if you achieve
perfect merit and return to the Heavenly Court, we still cannot be husband and wife. In the Heavenly Court, there is only the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother
of the West, and no other couple. Dou'er, although we cannot marry
and have children , as long as you can return to the ranks of immortals, we can be together forever, truly a divine couple.
Please bear with it for now, okay?"

Although Xin Xing was unwilling, Zi Qiong's words made sense. He thought, "Actually, whether we are
husband and wife or not is not important, as long as we can... " "Just being with Ziqiong is enough." Having figured this out, he immediately relaxed and
nodded, saying, "That's right. I have another question for you. If I can return to Heaven in the future,
what will happen to my wife and children?"

Ziqiong said, "The day you return to Heaven will be the day your lifespan in the mortal world ends. Your wife, children, and elderly parents will also
leave you at the same time. How can the mortal world and Heaven be confused? Alright, since you know about Xiao Que'er, you
should go see her. It is a husband's duty to care for his wife and children. Go quickly."

Xin Xing thought about how he was about to become a father, and his joy was hard to suppress. He said goodbye to Ziqiong and
went straight to Xiao Que'er's room, but no one answered the door. He was puzzled and searched all the places she usually went,
but still couldn't find her. He asked several servants, but they all shook their heads and didn't know. Remembering that Yun'er was the one she got along with best,
he immediately went back to his room to find Yun'er. As soon as he entered, he saw Xiao Que'er and Yun'er in the room.

The two women saw him rush into the room and were about to ask him something when Xin Xing suddenly grabbed Xiao Que'er and
asked abruptly, "How long has it been? Why didn't you tell me?"

Xiao Que'er was stunned for a moment, but seeing his excited expression, she immediately understood. Her face flushed
, and she pretended not to know, "What do you mean, how long? I don't know what you're talking about." Then she lowered her head and refused to look at him.

Xin Xing laughed, "You're still pretending! Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?"

Yun'er, who was overheard this, stared at her with wide eyes, "You...you're pregnant?" She quickly said to Xin Xing,
"Congratulations, young master! Congratulations! I'll go tell Madam right now."

Xin Xing said, "No need. Madam already knows. Otherwise, how would I know?" He then pressed Xiao Que'er
, "You still haven't answered me. How long have you been pregnant?"

Xiao Que'er lowered her head even further, burying it in Xin Xing's chest, and whispered, "I'm not sure, maybe a
month or two ."

Xin Xing said happily, "If you calculate it, that's eight months left! That's great! From now on, you
're not allowed to do anything. You're not allowed to practice martial arts, you're not allowed to run around outside, and...in short, you're not allowed to do anything. You're only allowed to stay in
your room , understand?"

Xiao Que'er protested, "I don't want to! If I'm not allowed to do this, and I'm not allowed to do that, I'm so bored!"

Yun'er laughed, "Oh, you've even kept it from me! Alright, since Young Master forbids you from going out, I'll
keep you company every day and keep you entertained, okay?"

Xin Xing laughed, "Now that Little Sparrow is pregnant with my child, it's time for Yun'er to take over, isn't it?"

Yun'er's face immediately flushed red, and she quickly said, "Yun'er is just a maid, I don't have that kind of luck."

Xin Xing said, "Who says you don't have that kind of luck? You have plenty of luck, the only problem is you won't be with me."

Little Sparrow gently pushed Xin Xing away. He hugged Yun'er and said, "Didn't you say you would serve Dou'er for life? Why don't
we just become sisters and serve him together?"

Xin Xing smiled slightly and said, "It's all thanks to Xiao Que'er for thinking so carefully. You two can give me one child every year, that'll be
twenty in ten years, forty in twenty years, and then in thirty years..."

Before Xin Xing could finish speaking, the two of them simultaneously raised their mouths and spat in unison, "Pah! Stop being so conceited..."

Xin Xing stretched out his arms and pulled the two of them into his embrace, laughing heartily.

Little Sparrow asked, "Have you known Huo Qianqian for a long time? Since she says she's your wife, you two must have a
close relationship, right?"

Xin Xing shook his head and said, "Of course not." Seeing the doubt in their eyes, Xin Xing sighed,
"It seems you two won't give up unless I tell you. Alright, I'll tell you." He then began by explaining
that he was originally a minor Taoist priest from Guangyang Mountain, how he had a falling out with Huo Qianqian while traveling the martial world, how she had
tricked and bewitched him, how she had forced him into sexual intercourse, how he was fortunately rescued by Zi Qiong, who had even taught him martial arts, and so
on. Of course, he couldn't reveal Huo Qianqian and Zi Qiong's identities. Even if he did, it would be hard for
them to believe him.

Yun'er frowned and said, "So, isn't she just talking nonsense?"

Xin Xing said, "That's right, but Mother seems to believe her and is letting her stay in the mansion. It's like inviting a ghost into the house.
I'll have a lot of trouble after this!"

Xiao Que'er said, "If I'm not mistaken, Huo Qianqian must like you. Otherwise, she wouldn't have
searched for you everywhere for over a year." Yun'er agreed and nodded repeatedly. Xin Xing said, "Jingxiu also told me the same thing and even taught me a method." He then explained the method

Yang Jingxiu had just used .
Then he added, "I need your help. If she comes looking for me, we should
act , leaving her out of the picture so she'll lose interest. It's a last resort, but even if it doesn't work, we have to
try."

Yun'er laughed, "How much more affectionate do you want? Isn't what you do all the time enough?"

Xin Xing shook his head, "Of course not. It needs to be more passionate, otherwise how can we drive her away?"

Xiao Que'er shook her head, "Doing this might vent your anger, but it
won't make her leave easily."

Hearing this, Xin Xing asked, "Do you have a better idea?"

Xiao Que'er said, "Do you know you have a nickname... it's 'Long-Eared Old Man'."
As soon as she finished speaking, she and Yun'er couldn't help but cover their mouths and giggle.

Xin Xing was completely confused. Seeing their strange expressions, he knew it couldn't be anything good and pressed them for answers.

Yun'er blushed and laughed, "What animal do you think has particularly long ears?"

Xin Xing tilted his head and thought for a moment, then immediately understood what she meant and laughed, "Well, you two dare to call me a donkey?
Isn't that calling me an animal? Tell me quickly, who gave me this name?"

Yun'er laughed, "It was...it was this servant. Young master, please forgive me this once."

Xin Xing said, "How can I forgive you so easily? Today, this donkey of mine will teach you a lesson." He
hugged her tightly and kissed her on the cheek. Yun'er quickly dodged and laughed.

Little Sparrow laughed, "You can't blame Yun'er. Who told you to have such a big, donkey-like body? If it weren't for your
love and your understanding and indulgence every time, we really wouldn't have been able to resist."

Xin Xing released Yun'er and asked with a smile, "What does this have to do with Huo Qianqian? Do you mean...?"

Little Sparrow nodded and said, "With your extraordinary talent, I believe there aren't many women who can withstand you, let alone
a petite and delicate woman like Huo Qianqian. Since she wants to be your wife, she naturally wants to do 'that' with you
. " " If you use all your means and feast on her day and night, even the strongest will be melted
away ."

Yun'er nodded and said, "That's right. Doing this kind of thing intermittently is indeed wonderful. But you must know that a full vessel
will overflow, and things will turn into their opposites if you don't know when to stop. Even the most wonderful thing will become tiresome, let alone something as
divine . Just thinking about it terrifies me!"

Xin Xing lowered his head and pondered, thinking, "This demoness is under the orders of my father, Huo You, and is determined to steal my dragon essence and impregnate
my dragon seed." " He dared to give birth to a demon of unparalleled power, but I'll not let him have his way. Today's Dou'er is no longer the
simpleton . Nourishing his liver and strengthening his essence is my specialty; how could that vixen have foreseen this? It seems my two wives
were right. Even the King of Hell fears a desperate man; once he fights, even the King of Hell has to give way. I'll
fight the death and see who's more capable."

Little Sparrow, seeing him silent for a long time, asked, "Dou'er, do you think this is feasible?"

Xin Xing nodded, "This method might work, but it requires me and..." " Won't you two be
jealous of her doing this?"

Little Sparrow laughed, "Since you've already done it with her, doing it a few more times won't make much difference. Actually, if I hadn't
seen you looking so miserable all day, insisting on making her leave, I wouldn't have suggested such a wicked method. Dou'er,
before you take any action, why don't you go and discuss it with Sister Ziqiong? Perhaps she has other plans."

Xin Xing thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I'll go and discuss it with Ziqiong now."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Yun'er hurriedly ran to open the room, and a maid came in and
said to Xin Xing, "Miss Huo invites you to her room, young master."

Upon hearing this, the three of them exchanged glances, all thinking, "She really came."

Xin Xing asked, "Where is her room?"

The maid replied, "Madam has arranged for Miss Huo to stay at Yulu Pavilion, next to Miss Ma's room."

Xin Xing thought to himself, "So she lives next to Little Sparrow." He then said, "I understand, I'll go there in a bit."

Episode 7, Part 6 (End)

Episode 7: Adding Fuel to the Fire / Part 7: Asking for Trouble

Xin Xing originally intended to first discuss things with Zi Qiong before going to Huo Qianqian's room. However, on his way to Linglong Pavilion, Xin
Xing suddenly changed his mind, thinking, "Since this vixen is so reckless as to offer herself up, why should I be polite to her? I might as
well teach her a lesson first and vent my anger."

He immediately went to Huo Qianqian's room, knocked twice, and the door opened. Huo Qianqian said proudly,
"Oh! How strange, you actually came as I told you. I never expected this." She had sent someone to summon Xin Xing,
having long since given up hope of him coming, so seeing him now was truly unexpected.

Xin Xing strode into the room and asked, "Speak your mind. What do you want?"

Huo Qianqian said, "I've come to ask you, who was the woman who saved you at the Heavenly Demon Palace that day? I heard she rode on a seven- colored
cloud and possessed considerable magical power. Is she from the Celestial Realm?"

Xin Xing said, "You wouldn't have said anything if you hadn't, but just thinking about it makes me furious. I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you've come knocking on my door
. Listen to me, you asked for this today, so don't blame me."

Huo Qianqian glared at him with her beautiful eyes and said, "Are you trying to scare me with your fierce look ?" "Who? Do you think I'd be afraid of you? If I lost
a single hair, you wouldn't be any better off. You still haven't answered me, who exactly is she?"

Xin Xing said, "Who she is is none of your business, why should I say? Now I'm asking you one question, why did you call me
here Do you want me to pay the bill again?"

Huo Qianqian laughed upon hearing this, "Looking at your fierce face, are you really willing to pay the bill?"

Xin Xing smiled slightly, and with lightning speed, he reached out his left hand, wrapped it around her waist, and pressed her whole body tightly against
his chest . Huo Qianqian was startled by his sudden action and couldn't help but cry out. Xin Xing leaned close
to her ear and whispered, "Paying the bill isn't difficult, the only problem is that you might not have the ability to ask for it."

Huo Qianqian smelled a strong masculine scent, and her heart instantly fluttered. Her body went weak, and
she nestled in his arms. She hadn't expected Xin Xing to be so proactive, and she was both surprised and delighted. She was terrified, fearing he might have
ulterior motives, yet overjoyed that her dream had finally come true,

allowing her to return to his embrace. Just as Huo Qianqian was thinking of the man who had taken her virginity, the man who haunted her dreams and filled her with endless
longing , one of her full breasts was suddenly grasped and roughly kneaded by him.
The torment of pain mixed with pleasure made her tense all over: "You stinky bastard, don't...don't be so rough..."

Xin Xing smiled and said, "Don't you like being rough? Otherwise, why would you have
tied ? What am I doing now?"

Huo Qianqian said, "You've clearly come for revenge. I, Huo Qianqian, am not afraid of you." As soon as she finished speaking, her jade-like hand
reached down to his crotch and squeezed hard. Xin Xing cried out, his face contorted in pain.

Xin Xing roared, "You...you vixen, do you really want my life?"

Huo Qianqian pouted smugly and laughed, "Don't worry, I won't kill you now. I'll
kill you after you pay the bill. Hey! How come your thing is so big? It's much bigger than last time."

Xin Xing said, "Are you scared? I already told you before that I was still young and couldn't accomplish anything great then, but things are different
now . It's terrifying, isn't it? But it's too late for you to be scared. If I don't teach you a lesson today, I won't
be able to vent my anger." Then she secretly channeled her true energy, and the jade dragon quickly expanded.

Huo Qianqian was startled, almost losing her grip on the object in her hand. She thought, "How can it be so incredibly large, like
a baby's arm? Is this really a man's penis?" Although Huo Qianqian was afraid, she was always
stubborn . Hearing Xin Xing's words, how could she hold back? She immediately said, "Who said I'm afraid?
Come at me if you dare." But as she spoke, her voice gradually weakened, and her
fear obvious.

Xin Xing, of course, understood perfectly, and couldn't help but gloat, saying, "Alright, since you put it that way, let's make
a bet. If you can make me ejaculate, you can do whatever you want with my pants. If you can't, you'll be at
my mercy today, without the slightest disobedience."

Huo Qianqian was secretly delighted, thinking, "This brat is incredibly stupid. I was worried he'd be
like , refusing to give me his dragon essence obediently, but I didn't expect him to walk right into my trap." She then said, "Whatever method I use?"

Xin Xing confidently replied, "Anything is fine. You can use your hands, your mouth, or even your little hole down there
, as long as you can make me ejaculate, I'll have to admit defeat and do whatever you say."

Huo Qianqian smiled knowingly and said, "I'll have a contest with you. You can't go back on your word if you lose."

She then started pulling on Xin Xing's belt.

Xin Xing smiled, stripped off his upper body, and stood naked in front of Huo Qianqian in no time. He
glanced at her and saw her staring blankly at the jade dragon, lost in thought. He immediately asked, "How are you? Didn't you
faint from fright? If you're too scared to handle it, just pull it down now." Although Huo Qianqian was fond of being willful and argumentative, she was still quite young. How could she not be shocked

when she saw such a huge creature !
She thought to herself, "It's only been a little over a year, how could he have grown so much, so much thicker?
Is the change in men really that magical?"

Before she could reply, Xin Xing led her to the bed, sat down casually on the edge, and spread his legs wide, saying, "
Get started , or you'll forfeit."

Huo Qianqian had no choice but to kneel before him, staring at him with wide eyes for a few moments before timidly reaching out her delicate
hand to gently grasp his shaft. The moment she touched it, she felt its hardness, like an iron rod, and her hand burned with heat. Her heart
pounded wildly. Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and began to work her hands simultaneously, busily stroking him.

Xin Xing stared at her delicate, pretty face, noticing that she had become
even . Her features were exquisite, her cheeks slightly dimpled—truly a feast for the eyes. Gazing at her alluring beauty, he unconsciously
reached out and touched her delicate, smooth face, stroking it gently for a moment before sliding down her cheek, across her slender
neck, and to her smooth, supple shoulders.

Huo Qianqian felt weak all over from his touch, even her hand movements became sluggish. Just as Xin Xing lifted her blouse
, a strong desire surged within her, knowing that the long-awaited pleasure was about to arrive.

Her full, round breasts finally fell into his hands, his five irresistible fingers kneading them incessantly. This time, it was
flesh-on-flesh contact, unlike before when there was a layer of clothing, making the intimacy all the more intense. Xin Xing playfully pinched
her nipples between his fingers, gently tugging at them, and an indescribable pleasure surged through Huo Qianqian's body.

Just as Huo Qianqian was lost in her reverie, Xin Xing suddenly withdrew his hand and said coldly, "You're so slow and unresponsive
; how can you possibly excite a man? Let me teach you a lesson: make the most of what you have, use your brain a little.
Leaving your mouth unused is a waste of resources."

Huo Qianqian was basking in her own bliss when he interrupted her, and she was already seething with anger. Now, hearing his words...
Adding fuel to the fire, she angrily retorted, "Mind your own business! This mouth of mine is for eating, not for serving you, you
ugly thing!"

Xin Xing spat, "Don't be so conceited. Who was it that held on so tightly last time, and even ate with relish?"

Huo Qianqian grew angrier the more she heard this. Her eyebrows furrowed, and an idea immediately came to her mind. Without a word, she leaned forward
, opened her small mouth wide, and barely managed to take his glans in. Her tongue rubbed against the urethral opening a few times, making Xin Xing gasp with pleasure. Suddenly,
he felt a sharp pain in his head; she had bitten him.

This was quite a shock. Xin Xing quickly pulled his penis back, looked down, and thankfully, the force wasn't too strong, preventing him from
becoming infertile. But he was already drenched in cold sweat. He immediately cursed, "You vixen! If I'm polite to you again today,
I'm not Xin!" He grabbed her, pushed her down onto the bed, and started tearing at her clothes.

Huo Qianqian twisted and struggled, giggling, "What do you want? To rape me? We...we're not
married , you can't do this..."

Xin Xing angrily said, "Who would marry you? If I married you, I probably wouldn't live long." As he spoke,
his hands didn't stop, and with a few tugs, he stripped her naked, her beautiful body exposed
before him.

Huo Qianqian continued to struggle, "You scoundrel, how dare you rape me! I'll tell my father,
and he'll cut off your penis..."

Xin Xing pressed down on her shoulders, preventing her from moving her upper body, "Go ahead and tell him, cut it off if you want, so you won't
bother me day and night." After saying that, he bent down, buried his head in his mouth, and took one of her nipples into his mouth. After
sucking a few times, the nipple immediately hardened and protruded. Xin Xing retaliated by biting it with his teeth.

A soft cry escaped Huo Qianqian's lips: "No, you're hurting me... Ah! Please don't
bite anymore..." Xin Xing ignored her completely, continuing as before, biting and kneading her other breast,
rubbing it until Huo Qianqian's eyes welled with tears, shaking her head and crying out in pain.

Xin Xing, aroused, bit her nipple and pulled it up and down, his hand reaching between her legs, already seeing her wetness. He then
joined two fingers together and thrust them inside, using his signature technique to dig and explore.

Huo Qianqian had never experienced such pleasure before. After only a few dozen thrusts, her body stiffened and her legs trembled, her mouth uttering loud moans. After
a while, a gurgling sound was heard, "plop, plop," incessantly. Huo Qianqian, unable to bear it any longer, cried
out , "No...stop it, I can't take it..."

Xin Xing looked up and laughed, "You have to endure it, enjoy it slowly." Then he intensified his efforts,
thrusting rapidly and relentlessly.

Huo Qianqian finally couldn't hold on any longer, her whole body suddenly tensed, her slender waist arched, and her beautiful fluids gushed out in waves, one after
another , seemingly without end.

Seeing this, Xin Xing immediately laughed heartily, "You're so wet, it's quite interesting."

When Xin Xing was satisfied, he saw Huo Qianqian slump like a pile of mud, her jade mountain collapsing, no longer showing any
emotion . Xin Xing climbed on top of her, shook her a few times, and asked with a laugh, "Hey! Don't play dead in front of me, are you awake
yet ? Seeing how much you enjoyed yourself just now, it seems you want to do it again?"

Huo Qianqian heard this in a daze, suddenly opened her eyes, and shook her head repeatedly, saying, "No, I can't..."

While she was still in a daze, Xin Xing silently reached out and grabbed his penis, pressing the head against the entrance of her vagina,
intending to give it a strong thrust. Unexpectedly, as soon as the glans touched her jade gate, Huo Qianqian was already startled, and hurriedly pushed
him away with both hands, shaking her head and saying, "Wait a minute, let me rest a bit more."

Xin Xing smiled slyly, thinking, "You want me to stop? Not so easy." Immediately, his buttocks sank down, and
his penis slid in smoothly, a tight band firmly enveloping the entire head, it was indeed very tight!

Huo Qianqian's eyebrows furrowed instantly as the huge thing entered her, and her pitiful eyes stared intently at Xin Xing, as she felt
the penis gradually penetrate deeper. The novel sense of oppression and intense fullness gradually pushed her into the abyss of lust.

Xin Xing had only penetrated two-thirds of the way in when he reached the end, yet playfully thrust forward one more time. A strong, tingling sensation
shot through Huo Qianqian: "Ah! Don't touch there, please..." This plea immediately reminded Xin Xing, who
not only didn't stop but continued to push deeper.

How could Huo Qianqian resist? She grabbed his arms tightly with both hands: "You stinky bastard, how could you... Ah!
It's too deep, please don't go any further, quickly... quickly pull it out..."

Xin Xing wouldn't listen to her, and finally, he was completely inside, reaching the very depths of her body.

Huo Qianqian cried out in pain, tears streaming down her face. She raised her small hands and pounded on Xin Xing's body repeatedly, crying, "You...
you're cruel! I...I'm dying of pain!"

Xin Xing laughed, "Useless! You can't even bear a little pain, yet you still want to steal my dragon essence."

Huo Qianqian sobbed, "It really hurts! Please...please don't move, it hurts so much..."

Seeing her half-dead state, Xin Xing's heart softened. He gently cupped her breasts, playing with them as he
said, "The pain will subside in a while." "Don't worry!"

Huo Qianqian felt a little relieved when she saw that he had stopped moving. She asked, "Will it really only hurt for a little while?"

Xin Xing nodded. "Once you get used to it, there will be other benefits. You'll probably have to thank
me."

Huo Qianqian was half-convinced. While she was thinking, she suddenly felt the huge thing begin to move slowly. She was startled. "Don't move!
Hmm! You... why are you still moving? Ah! No, stop..."

Xin Xing ignored her and continued thrusting into her from deep within the palace. Huo Qianqian bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with
tears, and covered her mouth, desperately trying to endure it. Just as Xin Xing had said, the pain gradually subsided, and a strange
pleasure arose, becoming more and more beautiful. She couldn't help but moan softly.

Wave after wave of pleasure swept over Huo Qianqian. Xin Xing, knowing she was getting into the swing of things, laughed and said, "I
told you so, should we pull out now?"

Huo Qianqian shook her head and whispered, "Can you hurry it up?"

Xin Xing laughed loudly, "What a little slut! You want it quick? It's easy enough. I'm just afraid you won't be able to hold on
and will beg for mercy." As soon as he finished speaking, he straightened up and knelt between her legs. Xin Xing looked down and saw that she had spread her legs
wide , revealing a pink vulva beneath her neat, sparse pubic hair, with two tender labia
enveloping his penis. Seeing this lewd scene, Xin Xing felt a surge of heat throughout his body.

Huo Qianqian swayed her hips impatiently, chasing after his penis. Seeing her wantonness
,

Xin Xing smiled inwardly, thinking, "This is just the beginning. I'll show you what I'm capable of in a moment!" He pulled his penis to the entrance of her vulva, then thrust it in hard, his penis once again fully inserted.
After a few thrusts, he cupped her slender waist with both hands and began to thrust in and out vigorously.

Huo Qianqian finally tasted the sensation of the enormous thing, and with Xin Xing's movements, she moaned incessantly, "Ah! My
God, it's so deep and full, it's reached right to my heart... I feel so uncomfortable!"

Xin Xing deliberately mocked her, saying, "Seeing that you seem unable to take it, let me pull out so you can rest."

Huo Qianqian was in the throes of pleasure and hurriedly said, "No, you mustn't pull out, I still..." Before she could finish speaking,
she heard a "snip" sound and suddenly felt her vagina empty. Xin Xing had already pulled out his jade dragon, and Huo Qianqian felt as if she had been doused with cold water.
She protested, "You stinky bastard, how... how could you do this to me?"

Xin Xing ignored her completely, bent down again, and took one of her nipples into his mouth. Huo Qianqian let out a soft "hmm. "
Xin Xing sucked for a while, then switched to using his right hand to knead and rub, and then leaned in to nibble randomly on her neck. Huo Qianqian could only gasp
for breath with her mouth open. Xin Xing suddenly looked up, staring at her, and said, "Lick it for a while. If you dare to
bite again this time, don't blame me for being impolite."

Huo Qianqian stared blankly at Xin Xing, her eyes wide, and finally nodded. Xin Xing rolled off her,
helped her sit up, and stood in front of her with his huge member erect. Huo Qianqian sensibly took it in her hand, stroked it a few times, and then
licked the base of his penis with her little tongue before opening her mouth to take the glans in.

Xin Xing held her head and began to slowly thrust in and out. Although Huo Qianqian's oral skills were a little clumsy,
she was very hardworking. She sucked and licked hard. Xin Xing felt extremely comfortable, pushing the glans all the way to the end of her mouth, making her
pretty face turn red and her eyes roll back. Xin Xing had his fill of teasing her, letting her lick for a while longer before withdrawing his penis and asking, "
Do you want me to fuck you again?"

Huo Qianqian wouldn't say it aloud, only nodding. Xin Xing made her lie back on the bed,
spreading her legs wide, rubbing the head of his penis against her labia, and asked again, "Say it quickly."

The burning desire within her forced Huo Qianqian to lower her head, finally whispering, "Fuck me."

Xin Xing smiled with satisfaction, thrusting his hips forward, the head of his penis disappearing inside, warm and stretching Huo Qianqian with unparalleled
pleasure . But Xin Xing didn't move, only giving her a wicked smile.

Huo Qianqian became anxious: "What are you still laughing at? Hurry up and go in..."

Xin Xing wanted to see her wanton appearance, then thrust hard, this time penetrating all the way in, filling her flower chamber,
and then began to thrust vigorously. Huo Qianqian was overwhelmed with pleasure, needless to say, only holding the penis and passionately responding.

This time, Xin Xing unleashed his full power, thrusting hundreds of times in one go, until Huo Qianqian's body was weak and limp, her fluids flowing freely, and
she climaxed twice.

Even so, Xin Xing still wouldn't let up, continuing his relentless thrusting and increasing the force of his movements. Huo Qianqian couldn't resist
the pleasure, gradually feeling her tongue and lips grow cold, her body as limp as a silkworm, with no strength left, she could only close her eyes and endure it.

Xin Xing knew he had to give her a taste of his own medicine today, so after catching his breath, he turned her over again, making her
lie face on the bed, and entered her from behind. This time, the thrusting was even more intense than before, plunging in and out, using every means at his disposal.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, Huo Qianqian, having endured such a formidable attack for so long, how could this delicate flower in its early bloom withstand such torment?
After a while, she became completely unconscious.

Xin Xing peeked out and saw that she was lying unconscious on the bed with her eyes tightly closed. Thinking to himself, "This vixen is truly useless. She did the same thing
last time , and now she's fainted twice in a row. Judging by the current situation, she
won't wake up anytime soon. I'd better get out of here." He then pulled out his penis and saw that Yu Long was still seething with anger,
unable vent his frustration, his body burning with pent-up rage.

He cursed inwardly, "It's all this vixen's fault! She's left me half-cooked!" Back in his room, Yun'er greeted him with a smile, asking, "How did it go?"

Xin Xing hugged her tightly, laughing, "With your young master's abilities, how could she possibly resist? She's already
fainted . Where's Xiao Que'er?"

Yun'er replied, "Master Ma summoned her. If I'm not mistaken, it's to discuss your marriage."

Xin Xing nodded, leaning in to kiss her ear. Yun'er immediately trembled, whispering:
"Don't be like that, young master. You just finished, and you're still being so naughty."

Unexpectedly, Xin Xing still wouldn't let go, saying, "That's why I'm so pent up, I'm burning with desire with
nowhere to vent. Yun'er, please, have mercy and let me cool down."

Yun'er was utterly bewildered: "You...how could you have nowhere to vent? Just now, you didn't...?"

Xin Xing said, "Do you know why that vixen haunted me? She wanted to get pregnant with my child, and
once the deed was done, she would use that to blackmail me, making it impossible for me to talk back. Luckily, I saw through her intentions long ago. How could I let her
succeed I'd rather die of pent-up desire than let a single drop go, let's see what she can do to me."

Yun'er smiled slightly: "So that's how it is. You're quite capable, managing to..." "I can still hold on for half a day."

Xin Xing laughed, "You only just realized my abilities today? Enough of this, saving my life is the priority, let's
go to bed."

Yun'er gently pushed him and said softly, "I'm so
sorry, Yun'er is currently menstruating, and I really can't do it. If you really can't hold back, young master, you'll have to find someone else."

Xin Xing was dumbfounded upon hearing this and said dejectedly, "Women have to do it once a month, how can I blame you for that?

But Xiao Que'er is pregnant, it's really not suitable for her to do this, what should we do!"

Yun'er said, "Holding it in like this will be very harmful to your health. There are also Miss Ziqiong and Miss Tongxia, young master, you should
go find them." As she spoke, Yun'er had already pushed him out of the room.

Helpless, Xin Xing headed towards Linglong Pavilion, thinking as he walked, "How could that girl Yun'er know that the current
Tongxia is not her real self, but Shangguan Wan'er? How can I go to her! Besides, if Ziqiong knew
I came here for this matter, she probably wouldn't agree to my request."

Upon reaching Ziqiong, before Xin Xing could speak, she heard her say, "You don't need to say anything, I know everything.
You should go find someone else!"

Xin Xing said with a bitter face, "Who else can I go to? Although the Yang mansion is full of women,
there isn't a single one available at this time of year, and now even you are treating me like this!"

Ziqiong said, "I want you to know that women also have their dignity, not something for you to vent your frustrations on.
What you and Huo Qianqian did today can only be described in four words: 'asking for trouble.' If you want to vent,
use your own two hands."

Xin Xing scratched his head and said, "I believe that's how it will be!" Hearing this, Ziqiong couldn't help but burst
out .

Episode 7 (7 episodes complete)

Episode 7: Adding fuel to the fire / Episode 8: Hibiscus Golden Pavilion

Since Wu Sansi's death, Empress Wei has usurped power and abused her authority, growing stronger day by day. And Li...
Although Emperor Xian was the Son of Heaven, he was a mediocre and indecisive man, always reluctant to think things through. Whenever
ministers consulted him on state affairs, he mostly delegated them to Empress Wei and Shangguan Wan'er.

However, recently Emperor Xian had changed his ways, gradually shifting power towards Princess Taiping, often telling his ministers, "If there's anything
, you can consult Princess Taiping first." This greatly displeased Empress Wei.

This sudden change, of course, had its reasons, all thanks to a single sentence from Shangguan Wan'er: "Princess Taiping is
Your Majesty's own sister, deeply supported by the ministers, and has served Mother and Son for many years, handling affairs with much of her mother's style
. She can certainly share Your Majesty's burdens." Emperor Xian had always liked this sister and knew of Princess Taiping's abilities; upon hearing this, he
agreed.

But how could he have imagined that the current Shangguan Wan'er was the embodiment of Tongxia? Tongxia's main
purpose in doing this was to weaken Empress Wei and Princess Anle, preventing the mother and daughter from growing increasingly powerful and difficult to control. Moreover, Shangguan Wan'er
was originally Princess Taiping's person, which made it even more natural.

In the southeast corner of Chang'an City, there is a Lotus Pond, built by Yuwen Kai during the Sui Dynasty. This pond covers an area of over a thousand
acres, with several small islands connected by stone bridges. A Lotus Garden was also built here, with lush trees and flowers,
pavilions and towers hidden among the blossoms.

The Lotus Pond is a famous scenic spot in Chang'an, open regularly at the end of each month for the people of Chang'an to enjoy. To the west of the Lotus Pond,
a magnificent building has just been constructed, named the Lotus Golden Pavilion. Its eaves soar into the clouds, resembling a celestial abode, even more beautiful than the imperial palace.

In front of the building is a square several tens of feet wide, with courtyards and houses of various sizes, studies, painting studios,
stages , and embroidery pavilions scattered along the banks of the Lotus Pond. Who but Princess Taiping would dare
to build such a large-scale, luxurious mansion?

Princess Taiping already had a princess residence in Xuanyangfang, but she still felt it was too cramped. Therefore, she chose
a location by the Hibiscus Pond to build this grand building for her leisure time.

Since Li Xian transferred power to her, the Hibiscus Golden Pavilion suddenly became bustling with activity, filled with carriages and horses every day
. Most of those who came were there for banquets.

Although Princess Taiping was possessed by Luo Cha Ye Ji, she did not change her usual style and habits. She
still loved lively gatherings, recruited talented people, and made many friends. After the Hibiscus Golden Pavilion was completed, there was a small banquet every three days
and a large banquet every five days. A gold ingot was given for mounting a horse, and a silver ingot for dismounting—this continued day and night.

Many seeking official positions brought cartloads of lavish gifts, just to please the princess. Many high-ranking officials in the court were
recommended by her, and these people, grateful for her kindness, naturally became her confidants, causing her power in the court
to grow ever stronger.

That day, Wu Yanying received a report from a servant of the Princess's residence that Princess Taiping summoned her to the Hibiscus Golden Pavilion. Who dared disobey the princess's
orders ? Wu Yanying had no choice but to travel there by carriage with Yiru.

It was Wu Yanying's first time visiting the Hibiscus Golden Pavilion. As soon as she and Yiru stepped out of the carriage, they were
captivated . The splendor and magnificence here far surpassed that of the Princess's residence. A maid led Wu Yanying to
a room, saying, "This is Miss's room. The princess instructed that you rest for a while." She then
withdrew from the room.

Yi Ru poured Wu Yanying a cup of tea and said, "The princess suddenly summoned you here, Miss. What is it for?"

Wu Yanying shook her head and said, "I don't know either. My aunt must have her reasons for calling me here."

Yi Ru said, "Could it be about the prince? Don't you find it strange, Miss? The prince and princess have been proposing marriage
for so long, but it's like a stone thrown into the sea, without any news. I wonder what the princess's plans are? I'm
really worried. What if the princess doesn't agree..."

Wu Yanying sighed and interrupted her, "Don't say anymore." These days, Wu Yanying had been troubled
by this matter. She still remembered her aunt's words at Danfeng Soup, and thought, "At that time, my aunt's intention
was clearly to help me and my cousin get together. Could something have happened that made her suddenly change her mind? If
so , what should I do?"

Seeing her worried face, Yiru naturally understood her worries and said, "Miss, don't think too much. When you
see the princess, you might as well sound her out and find out the truth."

After dinner, Princess Taiping finally sent someone to meet her. Accompanied by Yiru, Wu Yanying followed
the messenger to Princess Taiping's place. Wu Yanying instructed Yiru to wait outside the door. As soon as she entered the room, her eyes
lit up again. The room was decorated in a magnificent and luxurious style, with white jade walls, brocade curtains, and thick
fur carpets on the floor. It was truly dazzling and extravagant.

Princess Taiping lay sprawled on a gilded couch. Seeing Wu Ziying enter, she smiled slightly and said,
"Come here, sit beside me and let's talk."

Wu Ziying greeted her aunt and slowly walked to her side, sitting down on a white sable brocade cushion.

Princess Taiping said, "Ziying, Longji proposed to me a while ago, saying he wanted to marry you. I believe you
've . But why haven't I replied to him yet? You must be wondering why."

Wu Ziying blushed and lowered her head, not daring to speak.

Princess Taiping smiled gently and said, "There are reasons for this. Firstly, I wanted to hear what you had to say,
and secondly, it's for the sake of my good-for-nothing son. Now, tell me your opinion. As far as I know, you and Longji
meet often, and your relationship is quite good. Am I wrong?"

Wu Ziying blushed even more, glanced at her slightly, and then lowered her head again.
Princess said, "Looking at you now, even if you don't say anything, everyone can tell." She paused, then continued:
"Since you're silent, it means you have no objections. Alright, seeing that you two are truly a match made in heaven, I'll agree.

But I have one more thing I need your help with. I wonder if you'd be willing?"

Hearing this, Wu Yanying slowly raised her head and softly asked, "Aunt, please speak."

Princess Taiping shook her head and sighed, "It's about Chongxun. My son is inherently stubborn.
I believe you already know how he treats you without me having to say it. When he heard that Longji was going to marry you,
he was depressed his appetite. A few days ago, he even fell ill. As his mother, how could I not
worry!"

Wu Yanying's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Cousin...cousin's illness isn't serious, is it?" Xue Chongxun was the eldest son of Princess Taiping and
her ex-husband Xue Shao. He should have no blood relation with Wu Yanying at all, but because Princess Taiping's current husband, Wu
Youji, was her uncle, she called Xue Chongxun her cousin.

Princess Taiping said, "Actually, there's nothing seriously wrong, but a mental illness requires a mental cure. If we don't address the root of his problem..."
"No, that won't do! How about this, since this matter is somewhat related to you, Wan Ying, you should do your aunt a favor and
stay here a few more days. Visit him occasionally, chat with him, and hope he recovers soon.
What do you think?"

Wu Wan Ying naturally didn't want to see him, but since her aunt had said so, it was tantamount to an order. Moreover, Princess
Taiping 's words clearly carried a threatening tone. To ensure this marriage could proceed, even if she was
unwilling a thousand times over, she couldn't let her have her way! Wu Wan Ying had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Princess Taiping reached out and gently stroked Wu Yanying's face, smiling, "I knew you were a good child.
It's too much trouble for you."

Wu Yanying replied, "Aunt, please don't say that. As long as my cousin gets better, I'll be happy to do it."

Princess Taiping smiled, "Good, good! Don't worry about your marriage to Longji, Aunt
has made arrangements."

Hearing this, Wu Yanying lowered her head and remained silent, secretly delighted.

Princess Taiping continued, "Seeing that Chongxun's condition hasn't improved, I've had him recuperate at Yueying Tower on a small island in
Furong Pond. The environment is quite fresh and quiet; hopefully, it will help his illness. Now I'll have someone
take you there. I believe Chongxun will be very happy to see you visit him." Wu Yanying could only nod.

After Wu Yanying left the room, Princess Taiping's face suddenly darkened. This carefully orchestrated arrangement would inevitably bring endless shame and future troubles
to the Li family Thinking of this, a wicked smile intriguedly appeared on her face.

Moon Shadow Pavilion is located on a small island at the eastern end of Hibiscus Pond. Although the island is connected by a white jade bridge, the journey
to Moon Shadow Pavilion is long, and transportation is mainly by boat.

Hibiscus Pond was called Yichun Lower Garden during the Han Dynasty. During the Sui Dynasty, Daxing City was built, and it was renamed Hibiscus Pond, with the garden called Hibiscus Garden.

After Li Longji ascended the throne, it was renamed Qujiang Pond, and water from Zhongnan Mountain was diverted into the pond, greatly
expanding .

The name Hibiscus Garden remained unchanged, and Ziyun Tower and Caixia Pavilion were added. Hibiscus Pond was originally a royal recreation
area, open to the public only once a month; on other days, it was essentially Princess Taiping's private playground.

Wang Wei once wrote a poem, "Responding to the Imperial Decree Granting a Banquet at Qujiang," which reads: "

Spring clouds cover the garden walls above the city, the evening colors of the river pavilion are quiet and fragrant.

Forest flowers, wet with rain, are like rouge, water plants, like long green ribbons, are swayed by the wind.

The new Longwu army is deeply stationed, and incense burns freely in the Hibiscus Palace."

When will this grand banquet be held, where I can briefly revel beside a beautiful woman playing the zither?

The poem vividly depicts the scene of the Qujiang banquet, and even after a thousand years, it remains a delightful topic of conversation.

It was sunset, and layers of colorful clouds bathed the Lotus Pond in a golden glow. Yi Ru pointed to
a small island in the distance and asked, "Miss, is that the Moon Shadow Pavilion?"

Wu Yan Ying looked in the direction she was pointing and saw lush trees and vibrant flowers on the island .
Hidden among the dense thickets were towering buildings and carved walls, which shone brilliantly in the sunset, truly like a fairyland.

The two climbed onto the island and were even more delighted. All around were clusters of flowers in full bloom. Amidst the green pines and bamboos,
there was a large garden with artificial hills and ponds—a truly beautiful place. Behind the garden stood two
pavilions with upturned eaves. The horizontal plaque on the left pavilion bore the three large characters "Moon Shadow Pavilion." The building on the right, however,
is inscribed with "Sun Shadow Pavilion," its name suggesting the interplay of sun and moon, creating a magnificent spectacle.

The buildings on the island were privately constructed by Princess Taiping for her daily enjoyment of nature, spring outings, and banquets.

Even on days when the Lotus Pond was open to the public, this place remained off-limits to ordinary citizens.

Led by her servants, Wu Yanying walked slowly to the front of the building. Before she even entered, a short, stout
young man in luxurious clothes stepped out. This man was none other than Xue Chongxun,
the eldest son .

Xue Chongxun grinned broadly, his face beaming, and said, "Cousin, you've finally arrived!"

Seeing his unusually cheerful appearance, Wu Yanying's brows furrowed. She thought to herself, "Is my cousin really
ill ? He seems to have known I was coming, waiting outside the door all along. Could it all be a lie?" Wu Yanying
sensed something was amiss and curtsied, "Cousin."

Xue Chongxun smiled, "We're all family, cousin, no need for such formalities. Please come inside."

The group slowly entered the hall. Wu Yanying asked, "I heard from Aunt that you, cousin, are slightly unwell and have been staying indoors, so I came to
visit you. Now..." Seeing her cousin looking so refreshed, she must be much better now.

Xue Chongxun said, "Mother sent someone to tell me you were coming today, and my illness will soon be cured.

Also, I know you love watching the fireworks, so I've already prepared it for you."

Wu Yanying shook her head and said, "It's so late, I don't dare disturb you, cousin. I'll sit for a while and then leave."

Xue Chongxun said, "What are you saying! It's rare to see you, cousin, how can you leave so soon? If you're going to leave,
you should at least watch the fireworks first, and then I'll send someone to take you back."

Seeing Xue Chongxun's enthusiasm, Wu Yanying didn't say anything more. The two sat down in the hall, with Yi Ru
standing behind Wu Yanying with her head bowed. Soon, a maid brought fragrant tea. Suddenly, Xue Chongxun said, "Cousin, I heard that Li Longji
has proposed marriage to Mother. Is this true?"

Wu Yanying hadn't expected him to ask such a question. Her face flushed, and she didn't know how to answer. She could only
lower her head and nod slightly.

Xue Chongxun sighed, "I really didn't expect it to be true. I truly don't understand what's so great about that
Li Longji . Although he's a prince, it's just a title. He's just a lowly fourth-rank official,
powerless in court. It's infuriating that you, cousin, would fall for him."

Wu Yanying, hearing this, naturally understood his feelings and said softly, "Cousin! I know you're good to me, but
... can we not talk about this?"

Seeing her troubled expression, Xue Chongxun immediately said, "Alright, alright, I won't say anything. It's getting dark now,
let's go upstairs to watch the fireworks."

Wu Yanying followed Xue Chongxun to the second floor, passed through the flower hall, and entered a room. The room was decorated
exceptionally elegantly, with a large balcony facing the Lotus Pond on the south side.

Xue Chongxun led Wu Yanying out onto the balcony, where two small tables were already set up, with exquisite snacks on them.
The two sat down facing the Lotus Pond. A maidservant brought in two white jade wine bottles and placed them on their table.
Xue Chongxun then instructed, "You don't need to serve me here. Tell everyone to begin."

Wu Yanying looked at the wine bottles before her and said, "Cousin, you know Yanying never drinks..."

Before she could finish, Xue Chongxun interrupted her, saying, "This is wine from the Western Regions, and it has absolutely no..."
"Spicy, yet with a refreshing and sweet taste, unlike anything else. Cousin, you'll know once you try it." Then, turning to Yiru, he said,
"Pour a cup for Miss."

Yiru responded with a "Yes," and poured a full cup for both of them. Just as she finished pouring, a sharp "bang" was heard in the distance

, and several colorful pillars of fire shot into the sky from the water, reaching several feet high.

Wu Yanying saw this and immediately beamed with joy, exclaiming with wide eyes, "How beautiful! It shot so high!" "

Exploding pole" was a term used in the early Tang Dynasty and is different from modern fireworks. China had firecrackers more than two thousand years ago. At that
time, they were simply firecrackers made by filling bamboo tubes with saltpeter. Later, they were improved to use saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal to fill bamboo tubes
and burn them. When the fuse was lit, sparks would spray out from the bamboo tubes. In his poem "Early Spring," Tang Dynasty poet Lai Hu
described the scene: "The new calendar is only half-open, and the courtyard is still filled with the ashes of firecrackers. I particularly dislike the willows, which are hard to control, yet
they stir up the east wind's mood."

Several small boats were seen moored on the water, constantly being set on fire, pillars of flame transforming into a dazzling array of colors
, a truly magnificent and beautiful sight.

Wu Yanying watched with great excitement, covering her mouth and repeatedly exclaiming in admiration. Seeing her so excited, Xue Chongxun smiled and
said, "I've long heard that Heletang's fireworks are the best in the capital, and they truly live up to their reputation. To have you witness such
dazzling fireworks, I'll drink with you."

Wu Yanying waved her hand, saying, "I really can't. I only had one bite, and I already feel a little uncomfortable.
Cousin, you should drink it yourself." Xue Chongxun wasn't about to agree, and laughed, "Just one more bite with me, just one bite." Seeing his earnestness,

Wu Yanying couldn't refuse and had to agree. In the blink of an eye, the fireworks had burned out, and wisps of smoke drifted away in the wind. Wu Yanying said to Xue Chongxun , "The results today were beautiful, thank you, cousin." Xue Chongxun replied, "As long as my cousin is happy. Let's have some snacks." After her initial excitement subsided, Wu Yanying realized she was a little drunk, and her mind was becoming increasingly unclear. She shook her head and said, "It's... getting late, Yanying... should go back now..." Seeing her dazed state, Xue Chongxun knew the drug in the wine had taken effect, and he was secretly pleased. He asked, "Cousin, are you feeling unwell?" Wu Yanying nodded slightly and helped him... "I'm... a little drunk!" Yi Ru heard this and quickly stepped forward to ask, "Miss, are you alright?" Xue Chongxun said, "Yi Ru, what are you daydreaming about? Quickly help Miss inside to sleep for a while." Yi Ru responded and quickly helped her up. Just then, Wu Yanying whispered, "No, take me back." Xue Chongxun stepped forward, took Wu Yanying from Yi Ru's arms, and said, "You can rest here for a while . It's not too late to go back after the alcohol wears off." Then, without saying another word, he helped her to the bed to sleep. Yi Ru said, "I'll go make a strong cup of tea to help Miss sober up." As soon as she finished speaking, she left the room. Xue Chongxun sat on the edge of the bed, leaned down and asked, "This is where I usually rest. Without my permission, no servant would dare disturb you. Just relax and get some sleep." Wu Yanying, her eyes half-open from her drunkenness, said softly, "Yanying feels so strange, my whole body is burning up, like it's on fire . What... what's the reason for this?" Xue Chongxun secretly cheered, thinking, "Since you're so determined to marry that boy, don't blame me. Today I'll show you what I'm capable of." He then told Wu Yanying, "It'll be alright, don't worry." A moment later, Yi Rubang brought hot tea, helped Wu Yanying sit up, and she drank it. Xue Chongxun said from the side, " A cup of tea isn't some kind of magic pill. Just rest for a while, and you'll feel better." Xue Chongxun suddenly remembered his conversation with his mother, Princess Taiping, that day: "Chongxun, how could I not know you like Wanying? Why are you angry? Actually, I also want to help you two, but Wanying's heart already belongs to someone else. Even if you force yourself to marry her, it won't do you any good." "But how can I swallow this? If that brat hadn't interfered, I'm confident that Wanying would be mine sooner or later, and she wouldn't have changed her mind so quickly!" "That's probably just wishful thinking on your part. Forget it, you wouldn't understand no matter what I say!" "So, Mother is planning to agree to their marriage?" "Chongxun, don't overthink it. They've already made it a fait accompli; can they change their minds now? Besides, Longji is planning to petition the Emperor to arrange the marriage. If the imperial decree is issued, it will be even more certain." "What? Could it be that Wanying and that brat...?" "According to Steward Qin Fu, Longji goes to Yixiang Pavilion to see Wan Ying every now and then, sometimes staying all night, and there are often unpleasant laughing and joking sounds coming from there. Isn't that clear enough?" "That...that damned brat, I, Xue Chongxun, swear that I will never let him go. I will definitely avenge this. What a Wu Wan Ying! Even if I can't win your heart, I will still have your body. Mother, please think of a way , otherwise, I really can't get over this resentment." "Chongxun, why are you so stubborn? I really can't do anything with you! It seems that you won't give up until you get what you want. Alright, let me make some arrangements. Whether it succeeds or not will depend on you." Just then, Wu Wan Ying's soft cry immediately pulled Xue Chongxun's thoughts back. She said, "Ugh! It's so hot... Cousin, where are you?" Xue Chongxun was overjoyed and quickly replied, "Cousin is here." Wu Yanying slowly opened her eyes, then gently shook her head, saying, "You...you're not, you're not Longji." Xue Chongxun felt as if he'd been punched in the heart; a surge of anger rushed to his head. He cursed inwardly, "So, all you care about is that brat, you don't even respect me!" He turned to Yiru and sternly said , "I'm asking you a question, and you must answer me honestly." Seeing his fierce expression and stern tone, Yiru was startled and stammered, "Yes..." Xue Chongxun said, "I've heard that Li Longji often spends the night at Yixiang Pavilion, is that true?" Hearing this, Yiru knew she was in trouble and didn't know how to answer. Seeing her stammering and hesitant appearance, Xue Chongxun became even angrier: "Speak quickly!" Yiru had no choice but to nod. Upon seeing this, Xue Chongxun's expression changed drastically: "So, Miss has already given herself to him?" Knowing she couldn't hide it any longer, Yiru nodded again. Xue Chongxun's anger vanished, and he suddenly reached out and hugged her: "And you? I'm afraid you, you little slut, won't be standing by, will you?" ( End of Episode 7, Part 8 )
