Episode 1: The Hunting God's Order Chapter Nine Suns Legend "It is an ancient legend. In the legend, there were ten suns in the sky. A very strong hunter picked up a bow and shot down nine of them." "He gained fame and beauty. He thought himself a hero and considered himself a hero. In the end, the beauty named Chang'e got tired of him and preferred to hide in a cold and dark place rather than live with him. All this was because this hunter, whom the world called a hero, was a man who only knew how to shoot arrows but did not know the joys of life. If a woman lives with such a man, all she will get is eternal loneliness and solitude." "For many years, this question has lingered in my mind—why did he shoot down those nine suns? With only one sun left in the sky, how lonely must that sun, living in the eyes of the world, be? Perhaps the hunter himself was such a person; he didn't understand loneliness because he was a hero, and heroes are the most capable of enduring loneliness. He only knew to rid the world of those nine suns that plagued humanity. He succeeded and earned the respect of the world, but he also harmed nine suns, leaving the last sun to bear the most enduring loneliness in the world." " He also harmed a woman. He was too famous; every moment, many people lined up to ask him to hunt. While he killed countless lives, Heaven also punished him: his wife, unable to bear his neglect, went straight to the cold moon palace. In the moon palace, at least there was a living white rabbit to keep her company, not a dead one—you see, her husband was truly a hero. In the area where she lived, within a hundred miles, not a single animal entered or left. If there was even the slightest sound, her husband's arrow would 'whoosh' past." "He hated the woman. He wanted to shoot down the moon, but his arrow was stained with blood and too heavy to shoot it down." "He also hated the last sun, the one that illuminated the moon. He wanted to shoot it down, but he failed." " Therefore, the lonely sun still endures eternal loneliness. It often thinks of the other nine suns. Where have they fallen? It doesn't know."

"Child, whatever you become in the future, don't become a hero. I'd rather you be a devil despised by everyone than a hero respected by all."
"You must be responsible for your life. You are you, not someone else. You can love if you want, hate if you want. Where there is love, there is hate, but it's all your own will. You cannot be like that hunter, destroying the sun's love for the sake of what the world hates."
"Child, find those nine suns for me. I know there are a few more living in the dark corners. If you can't find them, create another legend. Remember my words, child."
The young man's hand slid across the old man's wide-open eyes. The old man's eyes closed, and he fell into eternal sleep in the dark cave.
The young man kowtowed three times, stood up, his tall figure towering in the cave, terrifyingly ghostly.
"Father, you are truly the last sun. I will make those hunters who shot you know what sorrow is. I will let them see the crimson light you passed on to me. Only this light can be the most magnificent sight in the world!"
He slowly turned around, his cold face flashing two crimson beams in the dim light of the cave.

Chapter One: Mischievous Children of the Mountain Village

Huanshan Village, as the name suggests, is surrounded by mountains. The villagers make a living by hunting and farming, and are simple and honest, living a peaceful life.
The village is always very peaceful. The adults are busy with work, so the children in the village have a great deal of freedom.
Influenced by the hunting culture, in addition to playing, the boys develop a martial spirit from a young age. Almost every boy loves to fight, dreaming of beating others to the ground and becoming the strongest person in the village, so as not to waste his life. There
is also an unwritten rule here: if one side of a fight admits defeat, the fight ends. Therefore, the children, after all their fighting, only suffered minor injuries; a few days of rest at home, and they were ready to fight again.
The adults today, having grown up fighting like this, didn't object and even considered it a "fine tradition to be carried forward." Thus, fighting, like hunting, was a consistent way of life in Huanshan Village.
Around noon, another disturbance erupted among the children.
In the peaceful Huanshan Village, a girl's cries echoed: "Please, don't hit my second brother!"
A little girl, about seven or eight years old, was being held by a boy of about ten. The girl struggled and cried, "Brother Water Buffalo, let me go! I need to save my second brother, boohoo!"
Water Buffalo said, "Xiaoyue, don't go. Your second brother will be alright. As long as he admits defeat, Sigou and Dafeng will let him go."
Xiaoyue said, "But my second brother won't admit defeat."
The two looked at the three boys fighting in the distance. Two boys around ten years old were pinning a boy of about eight or nine to the ground. One of them said, "Dahai, do you submit?"
The boy pinned to the ground struggled, saying, "You bullied my sister, stole her kite, and made her cry! If you don't apologize to her, I'll never forgive you!" He tried to move, but was held down by the two boys, two years older than him, and couldn't get up.
Dahai seemed tired and gradually quieted down.
Da Feng said, "Are you convinced now?"
"Hmph!" Da Hai glared at him angrily and turned his head away.
Another boy named Si Gou said, "You've got guts!"
"Of course I've got guts." This voice made everyone present's heart skip a beat.
Xiao Yue exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Xi Ping!"
A little boy walked towards them. He seemed malnourished and was very thin, but his eyes were extremely bright.
He first looked at the three fighting men, then at the water buffalo and said, "Let go of my sister!"
Xiaoyue, freed, pounced on Xiping like a rabbit, saying, "Big brother, they're bullying Yue'er and hitting Second Brother! Tell them to stop!"
Xiping wiped away Xiaoyue's tears with his small hands, saying, "Dahai will be fine. It's normal for a man to get hit a few times. Don't cry, okay? Big brother will beat them all until they beg for mercy, alright?"
Xiaoyue stopped crying and said, "Okay."
"Good Yue'er, stand over there. Big brother is going to avenge you." With that, he walked towards the three fighting men, saying, "Sigou, Dafeng, let go of my brother! If
you've got the guts, fight me!" "Fine, we'll fight you! One-on-one isn't enough for you. Today, we'll join forces and beat you to the ground!"
"Stop being so cocky. You'll know what's really powerful when your tears and snot start falling on the ground. Come on! Let my brother go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiping suddenly ran over and kicked Dafeng in the stomach, sending Dafeng flying to the side with a loud cry. Then he turned around and pounced on Sigou, who was trying to get up from Dahai. He straddled Sigou and punched him left and right with his little hands, leaving Sigou with a bruised and swollen face.
He said, "Do you submit?"
Si Gou said, "No, you attacked us sneakily, we weren't prepared, and you..."
"Bang bang!" Two more punches followed, and Si Gou shouted, "Xi Ping, I submit, I submit, I admit defeat, I admit defeat this time."
Xi Ping laughed, "That's more like it, you lost, so what? Why make excuses?" He stood up and said, "Da Feng, have you yelled enough? If you're not dead, apologize to my sister. Also, don't bully girls anymore, you've disgraced us men."
At this moment, Da Feng, who had been helped up by the water buffalo, said, "Xi Ping, you remember this, next time I'll make you cry your eyes out, you'll see!"
Xi Ping made a face at him and said, "I remember, this is the eighty-ninth time you've sworn this."
Da Feng blushed and said, "You, you, you..."
Xi Ping said, "I'm fine, no need to nag, hehe!" He turned around, took Xiao Yue's little hand, and said, "Da Hai, let's go home."
"I'll throw my left fist, then my right fist, followed by a flurry of kicks, and I'll beat you into a big fat pig..."
The three siblings skipped and hopped along the road home. Xi Ping stopped singing and said, "Da Hai, you never fight, why did you get into a fight with them today?"
Da Hai said, "Big brother, they lost Xiao Yue's kite, that's why I fought with them."
Xi Ping said, "Silly boy, there are two or three of them, and they're all bigger than you. How could you possibly beat them! You're a good boy, you don't know how to fight. If you want to fight in the future, come to your big brother, I guarantee you won't get the short end of the stick."
After saying that, he was quite smug.
Dahai said, "But I feel that what you did just now wasn't... wasn't fair enough."
Xiping, like a monkey, jumped up and tapped Dahai on the head, shouting in front of him, "What? What? Fair enough? Are you stupid! They're all older than me, you want me to fight them fair and square? Hey, what's the point of being fair and square? Can it avenge you? For me, Huang Xiping, defeating the opponent is the most practical thing, and to defeat the opponent, besides strength, intelligence is also very important. That's called being both wise and brave, understand?"
Dahai stared blankly, saying, "Still not..." Seeing Xiping about to tap his head again, he quickly changed his words, "Oh! I understand."
Xiping let him off the hook, saying, "Alright, Yue'er, don't be sad. When we get home, I'll make you a kite, exactly like your goldfish, okay?"
Xiaoyue happily said, "I want a butterfly."
"Good! Butterfly, butterfly, the wind blows, the wind blows, the butterfly flies, flies out of the flowers, flies into the sky, flies into my sister's dream..."
As the sun sets, Huanshan Village appears exceptionally peaceful under the afterglow of the sunset.
Huanshan Village has over two hundred households. Besides the village head, Huang Yang's family is considered relatively wealthy.
Huang Yang is tall and thin, always with a kind and approachable demeanor that makes people want to be close to him. He is the most learned man in the village and the only doctor. He left the village at the age of fifteen to seek his fortune elsewhere.
Ten years ago, Huang Yang suddenly returned to Huanshan Village, bringing back a wife and a son.
The villagers all thought Huang Yang was promising.
Huang Yang's wife is named Chunyan. When she first arrived in Huanshan Village, everyone, young and old, came to see her. Seeing Chunyan's appearance, they were amazed, thinking she was a celestial being descended to earth—where did this beauty come from?
Chunyan is now in her early thirties and has three children, Huang Xiping and his two siblings. Her beauty remains, but she has gained a more mature charm, dressed as a village girl—an extremely beautiful village girl!
This happy woman stands at her door, gazing towards the village entrance.
A steady voice came from inside the house: "Yan, haven't the children returned yet?"
"Hmm!" Her voice suddenly rose again, "I see them, at the village entrance!"
The three children ran to Chunyan in a flash. Xiaoyue threw herself into her arms, calling out "Mother" sweetly, while Xiping and Dahai also called out "Mother."
Chunyan said, "Xiping, you got into a fight again?"
Xiping said, "Mother, they bullied Dahai and Xiaoyue, so I fought them."
Chunyan looked at Dahai, who hadn't uttered a sound, and said, "Dahai, you went to fight too?" Dahai
lowered his head and didn't speak.
Xiping said, "Mother, you misunderstood. Dahai didn't go to fight with me; he got beaten up. Think about it! Dahai is usually so well-behaved, how could he go to fight? It's already a blessing that he didn't get beaten up, sigh!" After saying that, he shook his little head a few times.
Chunyan looked at him and couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Alright, you fought, that's good. Come inside, dinner's ready."
At the dinner table, Huang Yang instructed, "Tomorrow I'm going to the mountain to gather herbs. You three must listen to your mother."
Xiping said, "We always listen to Mother." Suddenly, he widened his eyes and said, "Dad, I want to go with you to gather herbs too!"
Huang Yang looked at this troublesome son and said, "Aren't you going to fight tomorrow?"
Xiping scratched his head and said, "I've decided to take a few days off."
Huang Yang looked puzzled and said ... "A holiday? What do you think fighting is?"
Xi Ping said matter-of-factly, "Exercise."
Huang Yang was completely defeated by him and said, "Fine! You'll come with me tomorrow."
Xi Ping shouted "Hooray!" and at the same time picked up a piece of meat for Huang Yang, saying gratefully, "Thank you, Dad, this is my filial piety to you. Don't be so polite!"
Huang Yang looked at it and shouted, "You brat, what did you put on my plate?"
Xiao Yue said in a clear voice, "Chicken butt."
Huang Yang shouted, "I'm so angry!"
That night, the wind was gentle, and the chirping of various insects mingled together.
In Huang Yang and his wife's room, the two were talking quietly.
Chunyan asked, "Yang, are you really going to take Ping'er up the mountain?"
Huang Yang replied, "I know you're worried! Ping'er is a bit mischievous, but he's growing up and it's time for him to learn something. I originally planned to wait another year or two before letting him come with me up the mountain, but since he's volunteered, let him go! Don't worry, nothing will happen. Don't think too much, go to sleep! It's getting late."
Chunyan said, "I'm afraid Ping'er will get playful again once he's in the deep mountains. You know him... he's still a child."
Huang Yang said, "I understand, I'll try my best to keep an eye on him."
Chunyan still wouldn't listen, saying, "You be careful too."
Huang Yang put his arm around her waist, gave her a quick kiss, and coaxed her, "I know, my beauty, it's late, go to sleep! We have to get up early tomorrow."
The next day, Huang Yang and his son went to the deep mountains to gather herbs.
Three days after Huang Yang and his son left.
At dusk, as Chunyan was having dinner with her two children, someone knocked on the open door.
The three of them looked towards the door at the same time, and saw a middle-aged couple standing outside. They looked to be in their forties; the man was tall and dashing, and the woman was pretty and elegant.
The two siblings stared at the couple, their eyes glued to them.
Chunyan came out and said, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
The woman said, "We're sorry to bother you! We're from out of town, and it's already dark when we arrived. Could you spare us the night?"
Chunyan looked at the two of them for a while before saying, "If you don't mind, please come in!"
The woman said, "Thank you!"
The two followed Chunyan into the house and sat down at the dining table.
Chunyan said, "You two haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go in and cook some more."
The woman said, "Thank you for your trouble, little sister."
Dahai and Xiaoyue then remembered to speak. Xiaoyue said, "Uncle and Aunt, you look so good! Where are you from? Are you going to stay with us?"
This little girl, once she started talking, it was like a firecracker going off.
The man looked at the two siblings, a smile spreading across his face. He muttered to himself, "Not bad, not bad, promising talents."
The woman looked at him, puzzled, and asked, "Qingfeng, what do you mean by 'not bad'?"
The man replied, "Yufen, take a closer look at that little girl. I think she's quite good too."
Then he said to Dahai, "What's your name? How old are you?"
Dahai replied, "I'm Dahai, and I'm ten years old."
The man said, "Come here to your uncle, let him hold you."
Dahai hesitated for a moment, then walked up to the man and let him hold him.
The man's large hand patted Dahai's body, and he laughed, "Good, good, that's wonderful! This trip has been worthwhile. Yufen, what do you say?"
The woman said, "Congratulations! I don't have that intention, but since we've met, it must be fate. Little sister, come here and let Auntie hug you, okay?"
Before she could finish speaking, Xiaoyue had already rushed towards her, saying, "Auntie hug me, Yue'er wants Auntie to hug me too."
The woman held Xiaoyue, who was snuggling in her arms, and asked, "Does Yue'er like Auntie?"
Xiaoyue said, "Yes! Does Auntie like Yue'er too?"
The woman smiled and said, "Yes! Yue'er is so smart, she knows that Auntie likes Yue'er too. Come here, let Auntie give you a kiss, Yue'er smells so good!"
At this moment, Chunyan brought over the prepared food from the kitchen and said, "I've kept you waiting."
The woman said, "I'm so sorry to have troubled you!"
Everyone continued eating. After dinner, the woman said to Chunyan, "Sister, let's go outside and talk for a few minutes. There's something I want to discuss with you." With that, the woman took Chunyan's arm and they went out together.
When Chunyan and the woman returned, their eyes were a little moist. She held the two children in her arms, looked at them for a long time, and said, "Tonight, you two will sleep with your mother."
After Chunyan finished cleaning up and went into the kitchen, the man asked the woman, "Yufen, how did it go?"
The woman said, "She seems unwilling to let her children learn martial arts. I went to great lengths to persuade her. How are you going to thank her?"
The man laughed, "Of course, I'll repay her with my body."
The woman laughed, "Go away, you big devil!"
Xiaoyue asked curiously, "Auntie, what does 'offering oneself in marriage' mean?"
The couple looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.
Huang Yang and his son returned at dusk on the fifth day.
As soon as Xiping reached the door, he called out, "Dahai, Xiaoyue, your brother's back! The mountain was so much fun! There were so many things I'd never seen before, strange animals, dark caves… Come out quickly and see the herbs I've gathered! I've gathered more than Dad!"
However, he only saw his mother come out; he didn't see Dahai or Xiaoyue. He asked, "Mother, did they all go out to play?"
Chunyan hugged Xiping, looking at him, her eyes slightly moist, as if tears were welling up.
Xiping felt something was strange, and for some reason, he didn't dare to speak.
Chunyan said softly, "Yes, they went out and won't be back for many years."
Xiping asked, "Did Dahai and Xiaoyue go very far?"
Chunyan replied, "Yes! Very far."
Xiping said, "Then I won't be able to see them anymore, right?"
Chunyan said, "Silly child, how could you not see them? When you grow up, they will come back, and by then, they will be very capable."
Xiping asked, "Can I go to see them?"
"No!" Chunyan hugged Xiping tightly and said, "Doesn't Ping'er like being with his parents?"
Xiping said, "I do. I won't leave my parents. I will stay at home with my mother and wait for them to come back. Then I will tell them about the new things in the mountains."
Chunyan let go of Xiping and said, "Ping'er, come inside to eat. Your father and I have something to say."
Xiping went into the house. Without the two of them, he felt the house was empty, and a sour feeling welled up in his heart. He couldn't explain it, but he just felt uncomfortable.
The young man tossed his head, thinking, "Forget it, let's go eat."
That night, after Huang Yang and his wife went to bed...
Chunyan said, "Brother Yang, you won't blame me for letting them take Dahai and Xiaoyue away, will you? I originally didn't want them to learn martial arts and thus step into the troublesome world of martial arts, but I saw how much they loved Dahai and Xiaoyue's talents. If I didn't let them take them, they even wanted to stay and teach them martial arts. They have a very high reputation in the martial arts world, and they are from the same lineage as you. I'm not too worried about leaving Dahai and Xiaoyue with them. I'm just afraid that if they stay and see Xiping, they will insist on taking Xiping as their disciple. So I cruelly let them take Dahai and Xiaoyue back. Alas! There are many troubles in the martial arts world! I hope nothing bad happens to the children."
Huang Yang said, "Don't worry, be careful not to hurt yourself! Maybe this is the children's fate—every time I look at them, I always feel that they won't stay in Huanshan Village for long. Now they have indeed gone out, and fortunately, their destination is good. I think they will be successful in the future. It's just a pity for Ping'er. He is a martial arts prodigy, but you won't let him learn martial arts. Alas!"
Chunyan said, "There was nothing I could do ." "Yes, Miss doesn't let him practice martial arts, fearing his demonic blood will get out of control. You've seen it
yourself, he's so combative at such a young age." Huang Yang said, "Not necessarily. Although Ping'er is a bit combative, he's kind-hearted by nature, perhaps because he has half his mother's blood in him. As far as I know, he has the Nine Yang Body, naturally masculine and righteous, and will never become a demon. However, people with the Nine Yang Body are also troublesome."
Chunyan asked, "Why?"
Huang Yang said, "People with the Nine Yang Body are very powerful in bed, but I can't say exactly how powerful. Because of this, their libido is naturally extremely strong."
Chunyan said, "What Nine Yang Body? You've made that up. I only know that Ping'er will definitely be a handsome man in the future, the nemesis of us women."
Huang Yang brought his mouth close to her ear and said, "But I am your nemesis."
Chunyan suddenly exclaimed, "You bastard, you again... um!"
Her voice suddenly stopped, as if something had stuffed into her mouth, and she couldn't say anything.
Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Xi Ping is now fifteen years old. He has grown much taller than before, but is still thin, with a very strong physique. The lines of his face have also begun to change noticeably, though he still retains a childish look.
To keep him quiet, Huang Yang often finds books for him to read and requires him to memorize a certain amount of lessons each day before allowing him to go out and play. Huang Yang thought that this would prevent him from having time to play. However, what should have taken a whole day to memorize, he read two or three times and then knew by heart. So he threw the book aside and ran out, ignoring all attempts to stop him.
That evening, Xi Ping returned covered in injuries, his clothes stained with mud and torn in places.
Chunyan frowned and said, "Really, you fight almost every day. Aren't you annoyed?"
Xiping said smugly, "I can't help it. They always want to beat me. How can I not accept their challenges? Sigh! Challenges are everywhere. I have no choice but to risk my life to accompany them. I couldn't ask for more!"
Chunyan looked at her precious son, a little amused and exasperated, and said, "Alright, wash up and eat."
During the meal, Huang Yang said, "Ping'er, we've run out of some herbs these past few days. Go back to the mountains tomorrow and gather some more."
Xiping replied while eating, "Okay, Dad."
Over the past year, Xiping had gone to the deep mountains to gather herbs on his own several times, and each time he had successfully completed his mission and returned home. This put Huang Yang and his wife at ease and made him feel extremely proud. Xiping
had been gathering herbs in the deep mountains for three days. He had already gathered enough herbs, but he didn't want to go back so soon. He wanted to stay in the mountains for a few more days and look around for something new and interesting.
At this moment, Xi Ping stood on a cliff edge, facing a canyon. Previously, he would stop here and detour. Now, however, he had a bold idea: he would go down and see for himself.
So, he clung to the thick vines on the cliff edge and slowly climbed down. When he reached the halfway point, he discovered a cave entrance hidden by vines, just
large enough for one person to squeeze through. Xi Ping struggled to enter the cave, only to be stunned by the sight inside.
Two enormous animals were coiled on either side of the cave. On the right was a creature resembling both a lion and a tiger, its body golden and incredibly powerful; on the left was a thick, blood-red snake, its scales shimmering with a crimson light. Beyond that was a pool of water, strangely milky white.
Above the two animals, two shimmering orbs of light, one golden and one blood-red, intertwined, collided, and chased each other—a truly beautiful sight.
Xi Ping was dumbfounded, his mouth agape, unable to close.
As fate would have it, the two intertwined orbs of light shot towards Xi Ping's open mouth, entering his stomach and melting instantly.
He felt his blood boil and burn; his face gradually turned crimson, his eyes seeming to spit fire, radiating demonic flames.
He roared, tearing his clothes to shreds, and rushed towards the milky-white pool, repeatedly shouting, "Water, water, I need water!" before plunging into it.
It turned out these two animals had quite a history.
The lion-tiger hybrid was called the Fiery Cloud Lion-Tiger, a chance cross between a lion and a tiger; its inner core was of extreme yang, granting extraordinary stamina to those who consumed it. The blood-red snake, on the other hand, was a thousand-year-old blood snake, the most lewd creature in the world; consuming its inner core granted inexhaustible endurance. Both being of extreme yang and lewdness, they instantly triggered Xi Ping's Nine Yang Body, nearly causing his body to explode.
As the saying goes, nothing is more true than a coincidence.
Xi Ping's jump into the pool happened to save his own life. The pool water was called Earth Spring Milk, but how it was formed was unknown. Only a very few people in the world knew that this water was extremely yin, and had a great effect on those who cultivated yin-cold energy. It also happened to be able to harmonize the yang energy that seemed to be burning within Xi Ping's body and the inner elixir energy of the two animals.
Therefore, he not only did not die, but actually benefited from the misfortune.
After soaking in the water for three days and three nights, Xi Ping woke up on his own. He found himself in the pool, which was also inexplicable.
The pool was not deep, but it was enough to submerge him. He couldn't understand why he was still alive, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
He pushed off the surface with his feet, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Why has the water turned transparent? Where are those two monsters? They've vanished!"
Xi Ping racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. He submerged his head to try and clear his head, and saw a red box at the bottom. Even more astonished, he retrieved the box and went ashore.
He saw on the front of the box: "Those who can immerse themselves in this pool and survive are destined."
The box was heavy, made of some unknown material, but it wasn't locked.
Xi Ping easily opened the box and found a piece of white gauze inside. He took it out and saw it covered in dense writing. He read it in order: "
This divine skill is the 'Heaven and Earth Heart Sutra.' Only those with the Nine Yang Body can cultivate this skill. After mastering it, you are guaranteed to be invincible in conquering beauties—this scripture will disappear upon contact with air one hour after its appearance. Please remember this."
The signature at the end was "A Generation of Casanovas."
"This Casanova is underestimating me! 'Please remember this well,' I could recite that in a few seconds. And what's this 'invincible' thing?" Thinking this, he looked at those four characters again, delighted. "Fine," he said, "just for that 'invincible,' I'll put in the effort and give it a try, so you won't complain to the King of Hell that I didn't give you face."
He lay down and began practicing as written in the scripture.
He lay there for two days and two nights.
When he woke up, Xi Ping felt refreshed and realized he should go home.
But the thought of going home caused him distress. He was completely naked; how could he go back? His clothes were torn to shreds. With no other option, he picked up a large piece of cloth from the ground and wrapped it around his waist. He noticed his manhood had grown considerably, but he didn't care much. He used the rag to cover his lower body, hung the medicine basket on his back, and left the cave.
The Huang couple only realized their son was back the morning after Xiping returned.
Xiping was still fast asleep in bed.
It turned out he had deliberately chosen to sneak back to his room late at night, when all the villagers were asleep, to avoid being seen, without even the Huang couple knowing. He had been so discreet that he called himself a "genius" for several days, becoming somewhat conceited.

Chapter Two: The Hunting Festival

Time flies, and five years have passed quietly.
The tranquil Huanshan Village is unusually lively today, as the villagers welcome their once-every-twenty-years hunting festival.
Any young man over eighteen years of age has the right to participate in the hunting competition.
The competition is simple: at sunrise, everyone must go into the mountains empty-handed to hunt animals. Upon returning to the village at sunset, the winner is determined by the grade and number of animals hunted. The champion and runner-up can run for village chief the following day, and the winner can lead Huanshan Village until the next hunting festival.
One can imagine the bustling scene in Huanshan Village today; it was as if a pot of water, once calm, had been suddenly boiled over, and the entire village was now in an uproar.
"Sigh! I've searched all day and haven't even found a single sheep. I did see a few rabbits, but they ran too fast, and they seemed a bit small," a young man
muttered to himself, emerging from the dense forest with a sense of helplessness. This young man was very tall, his sharp features seemingly sculpted from marble, exuding a powerful beauty. However, if you looked closely at his bright, star-like eyes, you could detect a subtle, almost sinister, allure.
However, at this moment, he looked utterly helpless, idly strutting along with his long, powerful legs, muttering to himself, "God, please, give me some prey, even a pheasant or a rabbit will do. Oh no! I'm so strong, weak animals don't deserve to be my prey. Just let me encounter a wolf, a tiger, or even a bear..."
Roar—roar—roar—
The young man looked up at the sound and saw a massive tiger charging towards him. He was startled and turned to run, yelling, "Whoa! My god! It just came like that, without even asking me!"
Just as he was about to be caught by the tiger, he saw a huge, towering tree ahead. An idea struck him, and he quickened his pace, leaping upwards and grabbing the thick trunk in mid-air.
He braced his feet against the tree trunk, exerted force with his limbs, and flipped himself onto the trunk, panting as he looked down at the tiger. He exclaimed, "That was close!"
After catching his breath, the tiger still wouldn't leave, remaining beneath the tree, glaring at him menacingly.
Having no other choice, the young man climbed the trunk to a fork in the main branch, where he comfortably sat down, looking at the hungry tiger on the ground. He said, "Fool, stop staring at me like I owe you a fortune! Come on up here if you dare! Humph, you want to eat me? Go back and grow some wings first!"
The young man sat on the branch for a while, thinking, "It seems this tiger won't easily give up such a delicious meal. I'll just have to test my patience."
Then, he closed his eyes and sang, "Searching east, searching west, I met you, and I ran away. I, your young master, am skilled enough to fly up to a tree and sleep soundly."
The sun set in the west.
Night once again began.
The young hunters from Huanshan Village all returned, each bringing their own spoils: rabbits, deer, wild boars… all sorts of animals. Among them, the village chief's son, Dafeng, had even brought back a large wolf, earning cheers from the villagers and attracting many admiring glances from the young women.
Huang Yang and his wife watched the young hunters pass by their door, their eyes growing increasingly anxious.
Chunyan asked, "Brother Yang, why hasn't Ping'er returned yet? Could something have happened to him?"
Huang Yang replied, "Don't worry! That kid is incredibly strong; even a tiger couldn't defeat him. Don't speculate."
Chunyan said, "Even so, I'm still a little worried."
Huang Yang sighed, "I'm a little worried too, but I think this isn't the first time he's gone into the mountains. He's been fine for so many years, why did something happen today? Besides, he's different now. He's the strongest man in the village now; no one can compare to our Ping'er. I believe he'll return safely."
Chunyan said somewhat confusedly, "Ping'er, the strongest…" A strong man? Once, I accidentally saw him fighting with Dafeng and the others. When he faced thirteen young hunters, he even revealed a wicked smile. His tall, sturdy physique and handsome face made him look like a free-spirited warrior. Hmm! A warrior, Ping'er?"
Huang Yang said, "I wouldn't have dared to say before, but I can say with certainty that he will not let us down now that he's grown up. Let's just wait patiently for his triumphant return! Come on, let's go to the venue. The hunting competition is about to begin. Let's also taste the young hunters' prey and celebrate their growth!"
The young man awoke from his slumber. The sun had just dipped behind the western mountains. He rubbed his eyes and looked down at the tree. He saw the tiger, just like him, dozing under the big tree.
The young man thought, "Looks like it's determined to eat me. Oh well, I have no choice but to fight it. Let's see if I tear it apart or it bites me." Suddenly, he wondered, "How do I get down? It's so high. How did I jump up here? Was it my survival instinct that triggered my potential, or the effect of that damn invincible skill?"
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Never mind all that, I'll fight! Since that Casanova claims to be invincible, surely I can kill this beast!"
He looked down for a while, closed his eyes, and, relying on his instincts, pounced on the tiger's location, shouting in his mind, "I'll crush it!"
Sure enough, the tiger was caught on his weight, but suddenly woke up, and with a burst of strength, threw him far away.
After being thrown by the tiger, the young man immediately stood up, no longer running away. His eyes were fixed on the tiger, which was approaching him step by step in the distance, a demonic flame flickering in them. His tall, straight body stood firm like a statue in the evening wind.
Suddenly, the tiger pounced on him with lightning speed, but his movements also became swift, dodging the tiger's attack with lightning speed. In that instant, he grabbed both of the tiger's hind legs with both hands, lifting its massive body and spinning it rapidly.
Reaching a large tree, he used all his strength to slam the tiger against the trunk, repeating this more than ten times until he was certain the tiger was dead. Only then did he stop, and upon inspection, he saw that the tiger's skull was shattered.
The young man collapsed onto the tiger's corpse, panting, "You're doing well, dying is the end of it all, but you've caused me so much suffering."
Meanwhile, in Huanshan Village, a hunting festival was being held.
On the open grassland, villagers lit bonfires, illuminating the village in a red glow. Above each bonfire, the young hunter's prey was roasting. The entire village, young and old, ate, drank, laughed, sang, and danced around the bonfire…
the earth rejoiced!
On such a night, the village's young hunters did not forget to hunt for love, and the young girls awaited their hunting god to capture them.
Today's hunting hero, Dafeng, approached Huang Yang and his wife, saying, "Uncle and Aunt, try some of the wolf meat I caught today. Where's Xiping? Why isn't he here? Didn't he go up the mountain too? Could he have been eaten by wolves?!"
Chunyan, upon hearing this, burst into tears, saying, "Don't curse him."
Huang Yang said, "Thank you, but wolf meat would give me indigestion. As for our Ping'er, don't worry about him. You weren't eaten by wolves, so how could he be swallowed by a mere wolf cub?"
Dafeng was quite embarrassed. Seeing Chunyan's tears, he became anxious and hurriedly said, "Auntie, did Xiping really go up the mountain? He only fights, he doesn't hunt! Oh, Auntie, don't cry, I was a bit harsh just now, please forgive me! Xiping is so strong, he shouldn't have any accidents, he's probably still looking for prey. That's just how Xiping is, once he decides to do something, he'll definitely do it. I guess he won't come back if he doesn't catch any prey."
Chunyan said, "I hope it's as you say."
Suddenly, the noisy meeting place became quiet. The young man who had hunted the tiger walked straight towards Huang Yang and his wife, carrying a huge tiger on his shoulder. His tall figure and handsome face, illuminated by the firelight, made every pair of eyes in the room fixate on him.
Chunyan stared blankly at the young man, then exclaimed in surprise, "Ping'er!"
The young man walked up to Chunyan, tossed the tiger on his shoulder aside, knelt down on one knee, and gently wiped away the tears on Chunyan's face with his right hand, saying, "Mother, don't cry!"
Chunyan said, "You're back, Mother won't cry."
Xiping said, "Mother, I'm very tired, I want to lie down next to you for a while."
His massive body lay down at Chunyan's feet, and he closed his eyes as if no one was around.
Huang Yang looked at his son and said, "I told you, even a tiger couldn't beat him. You worried for nothing. Sigh! This kid, I wonder what he's made of."
Chunyan gently stroked Xiping's handsome face, thinking blankly, "You are so strong, any woman would willingly be conquered by you—you are my child, my Ping'er, a born warrior!"
Huang Yang's soft voice rang in her ear, "Yan, what are you thinking about?"
Chunyan sighed, smiled at him, and said, "Thinking about the children."
The village chief election was divided into three categories: a knowledge contest, an archery competition, and a martial arts contest.
Today, only two people competed—Xiping and Dafeng.
The first event was the knowledge contest, testing hunting seasons, the characteristics of each animal, trap design, and other hunting knowledge. Xiping spoke first, but he was speechless; Dafeng, however, spoke fluently and eloquently.
The second event was the archery competition. Dafeng fired two arrows simultaneously, hitting the bullseye, earning cheers from the villagers; Xiping thought to himself, "What's so great about that? Watch me!" With a bow in his left hand and three arrows in his right, he nocked, drew, and released the arrows. With a "bang," two arrows fell to his feet, and the third disappeared into the distance. Xi Ping couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
So, quite "unexpectedly," he lost two rounds. There was no need to fight again; Da Feng had already won, and Da Feng was destined to be the village chief.
However, Xi Ping didn't care. He insisted on a third round with Da Feng to determine the winner.
Da Feng, knowing he would only get beaten up in a fight against Xi Ping, refused to fight a third round and even raised a white flag to concede.
But Xi Ping said, "How will you know who wins and who loses if you don't fight me? Come on, let's fight!"
As the argument escalated, a voice called out, "Xi Ping, I'll fight you!"
The two looked in the direction of the voice and exclaimed in unison, "Si Gou?!"
Da Feng went over and embraced him, asking, "When did you get back?"
Si Gou replied, "Just now."
Xi Ping shouted, "Si Gou, you only call on your allies, have you forgotten about your powerful enemy?"
Si Gou released Da Feng and hugged the approaching Xi Ping, saying, "Even if you turn to ashes, I'll still find the direction you went with the wind."
Xi Ping said, "Where have you been for the past three years? Three years ago, you suddenly disappeared, making me lose my fighting spirit for days. You're gone, and... " "Let me know!"
Si Gou said. "You're one to talk! I was going to tell you, but you went to gather herbs."
Xi Ping said, "How have you been doing these past few years?"
Si Gou said mysteriously, "Well... you'll know after we fight."
Xi Ping suddenly released Si Gou and smiled wickedly, "I remember you never challenged me first. What, you've become tough since you came back from outside? Si Gou, come on!"
Si Gou smiled at Xi Ping and said, "This time, you attack me."
Xi Ping said, "How could I!" at the same time, his right fist was already aimed straight at Si Gou's face. After missing the first blow, his left fist followed up with a punch, but Si Gou used some method to easily dodge all of his punches and kicks.
Xi Ping had never felt so humiliated since he learned to fight. In a fit of anger, he lunged at Si Gou, but at that moment, Si Gou suddenly disappeared in front of him. He couldn't stop his momentum and his body crashed hard into the ground.
He stood up from the ground, casually dusted off his clothes, and said, "Alright, Si Gou, to avoid you getting the short end of the stick, I'll let you attack me." He then assumed a fighting stance.
Si Gou laughed and said, "Xi Ping, get ready, I'm about to throw a punch."
Si Gou shifted his stance, rapidly advancing towards Xi Ping. Before Xi Ping could even react, he was struck several times in the face, followed by a barrage of punches and kicks to his body, hands, and legs. Each blow caused him excruciating pain, and his attempts to throw punches, though throbbing in pain, always missed, a pain worse than the blows themselves.
He cried out, struck by Si Gou's fist, and flew backward, landing face down, motionless.
Si Gou rushed to check on him, but Da Feng stopped him, saying, "Si Gou, beware of a trap!"
Si Gou replied, "Perhaps I hit him too hard. He hasn't practiced martial arts and couldn't withstand it. Even if he's bluffing, with my current skills, I'm not afraid of him."
Just as Si Gou crouched down to examine Xi Ping's face, Xi Ping suddenly grabbed his ankles and pulled him backward, catching Si Gou off guard.
At the same time, Xi Ping suddenly stood up from the ground, quickly lifted Si Gou with both hands, and spun him around like a tiger, his body weighing over 100 kilograms, shouting, "Si Gou, now you know how powerful I am! Do you submit?"
Si Gou stammered, "Submit—submit—submit—Xi—Xi Ping—stop—put me down—down."
Xi Ping stopped waving his hands, sat down heavily on the ground, looked at Si Gou who was lying on the ground panting, and said, "Si Gou, how did you learn to fight?"
Si Gou gasped, "Now..." "You've made me dizzy and my internal organs feel like they've shifted. Let me rest for a bit, and I'll tell you all about it later. You little rascal, apart from becoming even more handsome, you haven't changed a bit. If I had known this, I would have used my full strength against you."
Da Feng said, "I knew it! This kid is made of iron, how could you knock him out so easily? There's definitely a trick!"
Xi Ping laughed heartily, "Village Chief Da Feng, you really know your people better."
The three of them left the arena, and Si Gou told them about what had happened since they last met.
"Yuan Yang Escort Agency?" Xi Ping and Da Feng asked.
Si Gou said, "I work as a porter at Yuanyang Escort Agency. My kung fu was taught by the head镖师 (escorts/escorts)."
Xi Ping was overjoyed and said, "Then their kung fu is better than yours?"
Si Gou said, "Of course!"
Xi Ping suddenly turned to Da Feng and said, "Da Feng, are you coming or not?"
Da Feng said, "What?"
Xi Ping said loudly, "I've decided to go to Yuanyang Escort Agency with Si Gou. You're coming too?"
Da Feng said, "You're a natural martial artist, and I'm a natural hunter. I can't bear to leave this land. Although it's poor and not particularly exciting, it's where I have what I love and where people who love me deeply reside. I just want to protect this peace and live a quiet life here."
"Father, Mother, I'm going to Yuanyang Escort Agency with Si Gou," Xi Ping announced at dinner.
Huang Yang put down his chopsticks and said, "Yuanyang Escort Agency?"
Chun Yan said excitedly, "I won't let you go!"
Xi Ping looked at Chun Yan in confusion and said, "Why? Mother, why won't you let me go?"
Chun Yan said, "Because of you..." but then stopped.
Xi Ping asked, "Mother, why?"
Huang Yang sighed, "Ping'er, don't ask. Your mother can't bear to part with you! Da Hai and Xiao Yue aren't with us. If you leave too, won't it make your father and mother even more heartbroken?"
Xi Ping said, "But..."
Chun Yan interrupted him, saying, "Ping'er, didn't you say you wouldn't leave your father and mother?"
Xi Ping was speechless for a moment. He looked at Chun Yan's tearful face. He couldn't bear to leave his parents, but he always had an impulse in his heart—an impulse to yearn for the unknown world—that made him resist his mother's pleas to stay.
His face was resolute as he said, “Father, Mother, I will not leave you, yes, I will not leave! No matter when, no matter where, my heart is with you! However, you cannot imprison the soaring eagle and the galloping lion with your hearts, you cannot! I have a dream, I dream of the world beyond, I want to go out and see it, I must go! Mother, this is something you cannot stop me from. If doing so will make you sad and weep, please forgive me! I will come back, and when I return, you will see a stronger son. I will leave tomorrow!”
Tears welled up in his handsome face, but his tearful eyes remained so firm and powerful.
As she fell asleep that night, Chunyan nestled in Huang Yang's arms, softly weeping because of her son's disobedience.
Huang Yang gently stroked her hair and said, "Yan, don't cry."
Chunyan continued to sob, "Ping'er is leaving us for the dangerous world of martial arts. How can I not be sad? All of Miss's efforts have been in vain. How can I explain this to her?"
Huang Yang's hand slid across her face, feeling a dampness in his palm. He sighed, "This isn't your fault! I knew this would happen. It's Ping'er's destiny. He doesn't belong in this village. He's like a lion; no matter how long you keep him confined, he'll always roar. You yourself said he's untamed." "He's a warrior, he wants to find his battlefield, let's let him go!"
Chunyan said. "But he can't have a battlefield, his battlefield will hurt many people."
Huang Yang said, "Perhaps we're all wrong, we shouldn't think the worst of him. You know, for over twenty years, he's been lovable, he's always been kind to us. Blood ties don't mean anything! Believe me, he'll always be our good child, with demonic fighting power, yet with an angelic heart. Let him go to his battlefield!"
Chunyan stopped crying and said, "Demonic..." "Fighting power? Brother Yang, you're exaggerating! Besides his superhuman strength, he doesn't know any martial arts at all. In the martial world, he'll only get beaten up. Sigh! If I had known this would happen, I should have secretly taught him martial arts behind Miss's back."
Huang Yang laughed, "I have confidence in Ping'er. Since he can dominate Huanshan Village, he can definitely dominate the martial world. It just takes time."
Chunyan asked, "You have so much confidence in him?"
Huang Yang proudly replied, "Of course! You know he's my son!"
Chunyan was amused by him and said, "Don't be so conceited. Since that's the case, I guess I'll just have to go along with it. " His heart was heavy; he hoped nothing would happen to him, and that he wouldn't cause any trouble.
Huang Yang said, "Trouble? With his womanizing nature..."
Chunyan retorted, "Pah! Pah! Pah! When has Ping'er ever been a womanizer?"
Huang Yang laughed, "It's strange for someone with the Nine Yang Body not to be a womanizer! Once he enters the martial world, he'll surely bewitch those beauties, just like I bewitch you—it's a fine tradition of our family."
Chunyan said, "You old rascal! When have you ever bewitched me?"
Huang Yang flipped over and pinned her down, saying, "Now."
At the entrance of Huanshan Village,
Huang Yang and his wife saw their son off.
Looking at Chunyan, whose face was streaked with tears, Xiping said, "Mother, I will miss you."
Chunyan said, "Ping'er, when you're out there, don't get into fights. Take good care of yourself, and I'll feel more at ease."
Xiping said, "Mother, I understand. I won't offend others unless they offend me! I won't go looking for trouble if they don't challenge me. They're all people who know martial arts like Sigou. I can't even beat Sigou right now, how dare I fight them? Once I learn even more powerful skills..." He realized he was about to say something wrong again and quickly corrected himself, "I'll come back to see you, Mother."
Chunyan raised her hand and stroked Xiping's handsome, almost devilishly charming face, saying, "Ping'er, you are a woman's natural enemy. In the future, when you meet girls, never hurt them!" She paused, then added, "I hope you remember your mother's words."
Xiping blushed and said, "Mother, what are you saying? I know best how to cherish women. Beautiful women, I will only try my best to love them, how could I bear to hurt them? Come, smile."
At this moment, Huang Yang walked over and said, "Ping'er, come here, your father has something to tell you." He then took Xiping aside and said, "Dafeng has become the village chief, and he has five wives. When you come back, bring a few more wives with you, don't lose to him."
Xiping said, "Yes, Father! Just wait for my good news!" He turned around and said to Sigou, who was standing silently to the side, "Let's go!"
Chunyan said, "Gouzi, take good care of Xiping, don't let him do anything reckless."
Sigou responded and led Xiping out of the village.
Chunyan watched their retreating figures until they disappeared from sight before turning to Huang Yang and asking, "What were you and Ping'er talking about just now? Why so secretive?"
Huang Yang replied, "Nothing much, just telling him to marry a few more wives to take care of you."
Chunyan tapped his forehead with her index finger and laughed, "You old lecher, you're always teaching him to do bad things!"
Huang Yang protested, "He's incredibly strong and has a powerful physique. Having more women won't do him any harm; in fact, it will benefit him! I'm thinking of my son and the prosperity of our descendants!"
Chunyan suddenly seemed thoughtful and said, "The three children have all gone out. I wonder what will become of them!"
The couple gazed at the direction their son had disappeared into for a long, long time.

Chapter Three: Seven Colorful Butterflies.

Xi Ping and Si Gou traveled day and night for over a month.
That day, they arrived at a mountain forest.
Xi Ping asked, "Si Gou, when are we finally arriving?"
Si Gou replied, "Soon, we'll be there once we cross this mountain. But before we get to Yuanyang Escort Agency, let's take a bath!"
Xi Ping asked, "A bath?"
Si Gou said, "There's a waterfall on this mountain, and a nice pool forms at the bottom. I discovered it when I came back last time. Few people go there, so we can enjoy a natural bath, soaking for as long as we want. The water is cool and clear, and there's a beautiful waterfall to admire, it's simply..."
Xi Ping interrupted before he could finish, saying, "Lead the way!"
The two hadn't walked far when they heard the sound of a waterfall.
Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a rocky cliff not far away, where two silvery-white waterfalls cascaded down like water from the heavens. The curtain of water thinned as it went down, creating a truly beautiful sight.
They hurried a few more steps when Si Gou suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right, there sounds like voices." Listening carefully, he added, "That's right, women's voices, and more than one!"
Xi Ping looked incredulous and asked, "Women? Taking a bath?"
Si Gou grinned wickedly, "How about it? Want to feast your eyes?"
Xi Ping feigned hesitation, saying, "Well! I'm afraid of getting a sty—"
Before he could finish, Si Gou interrupted, "Never mind if you don't want to go, I'm going to admire the beauties bathing."
Xi Ping said, "What's the rush? I haven't finished! As the saying goes, if you don't accept a blessing from heaven, you're going against the will of heaven and will be struck by lightning. I'd rather get a sty than be struck by lightning. Come on, let's find a good spot!"
They used all their stealthy skills, tiptoeing behind a large rock, and peeked out. Whoosh! Seven fair-skinned beauties were playing in the pool.
Some were swimming, like mermaids, rising and falling, tilting and swaying; several stood by the pool, splashing water at each other; others sat on the rocks by the pool, scooping water up to rub their beautiful bodies.
The interplay of black and white, the shimmering beauty of their bodies, left the two men breathless, wanting to look at one but also reluctant to leave the other, wanting to see the next – truly a sight to behold!
Their mouths watered, like two waterfalls cascading down their cheeks.
Si Gou swallowed hard and said, "Just one look at this, and I'm done with this life! Xi Ping, why are you bleeding from your nose?"
Xi Ping wiped his nose and saw that it was indeed blood. He blushed and said, "I've had a bad cold these past few days, and I've even got red snot!" He wiped his
nose again and said, "Do you remember when I was little and saw Tian Ji's parents fighting naked on the hill behind the house?" Si Gou said, "Of course I remember! You said I shouldn't look, that it would give me a stye. I had to look in the mirror for days, thankfully I didn't get one. Your nosebleed is quite polite, though, it comes out to greet a pretty girl's naked bottom."
Xi Ping scratched his head and said, "Thank you, thank you! I don't know why, but I really want to beat up those women like Tian Ji's father beat up his mother—my club is throbbing with rage."
Si Gou laughed and said, "I also want to be a 'tough guy,' but I wonder if those women like that too?"
The two smiled at each other.
The women in the pool were unaware that two pairs of lustful eyes were roaming over their beautiful bodies, much less that they were being violated a hundred times over by those eyes! They continued to frolic in the water, completely carefree. One of
the women floating on her back suddenly said, "Third sister, you're getting more and more voluptuous."
Another woman, sitting on a rock washing her large breasts, said, "Eldest sister, how can I compare to you! Look at you, you're a sight to behold, a captivating sight, the most alluring of all. If I were a man, I would have already committed a crime for you."
One of the four women playing in the water said, "Third sister, if you were a man, we would have already devoured you."
Another poured water on her, saying, "Seventh sister, you're obsessed with men."
Yet another shouted, "If a man appeared now, I'd be the first to rape him!"
The seventh sister turned to the woman who had poured water on her and said, "Second sister, fifth sister is the one who's gone mad."
Hearing this, Si Gou could no longer contain himself and said, "Xi Ping, I can barely handle three, can you handle the other four?"
“I haven’t tried it,” Xi Ping said. “But you managed to handle three, so I don’t think I’m any worse than you, what do you say?”
Si Gou patted him on the shoulder and said, “Let’s go! It would be a disservice to heaven and earth to let this stroke of good fortune pass us by.”
Xi Ping said, “And even more so to the beautiful ladies waiting here!”
When the seven women saw the two men walk up to them, they were all incredibly surprised, but they didn’t show any displeasure. Instead, they smiled sweetly.
Undoubtedly, both men were outstanding.
Xi Ping’s tall, strong physique and stunningly handsome face made them feel like they were seeing a god. Si Gou was only slightly shorter than Xi Ping, and his strong, muscular body combined with his extremely masculine face made him a very charming man as well.
“Where are you two handsome gentlemen from?” Third Sister asked sweetly.
Si Gou laughed, "From the heavens."
Several women exclaimed in unison, "Oh?"
Xi Ping said, "Heaven said that if two more men were added to this place, it would be perfect, so it sent us down to make up for that deficiency."
Si Gou continued, "You don't mind sharing the pool with us, do you?" As he spoke, he took off his clothes, "Please admire our strong bodies, it's free!"
Under the women's watchful eyes, the two men gracefully removed their clothes and strode towards them with powerful long legs.
Si Gou embraced the third sister's voluptuous body, his right hand constantly kneading her breasts, saying, "You are the most wonderful woman I have ever been with."
Third Sister rolled over and pressed herself against his firm chest, kissing him and scolding, "Tell me quickly, how many women have you slept with?"
Fourth Dog replied, "Two. One is you, and the other..."
Third Sister glared at him, asking, "Who is she?"
"A prostitute!" Fourth Dog was quite deflated, but suddenly became excited again, saying, "That was my first night. From the bed to the floor, from the floor to the bed, I fucked her for a full two hours."
Third Sister laughed, a very charming laugh, and Fourth Dog felt as if he were in a dream. A soft hand caressed his chest, and a gentle voice rang in his ear—"You are indeed a strong man..."
Fourth Dog felt that these were the most beautiful words he had ever heard, so he could ignore what followed—"I rarely encounter a man as strong as you, who actually lasted an hour under my seductive charms."
Si Gou laughed, "So you know some kind of seductive arts like 'yin-yang replenishment,' no wonder I was defeated so quickly and exhausted. Once I've mastered some advanced internal energy, I'll keep you going for a whole day and night."
"Don't brag," Third Sister said, glancing to the side. "Even if you've mastered some advanced internal energy, you can only last two or three hours at most under my seductive arts." "He might still be able to hold on."
Si Gou looked at Xi Ping and saw him still like a mad lion, violently thrusting into a woman, while Second Sister and Seventh Sister, whom he had just finished with, lay paralyzed on the ground, panting.
Seeing this, Si Gou said, "He's the strongest man in our village, but I never imagined he'd be so powerful in this area! I can't help but feel inferior in front of him. Mine is already quite large, but his is even more astonishing, and he has endless stamina, seemingly never getting tired."
Third Sister also stared at the frenzied couple on the ground, thinking, "He's the strongest man I've ever seen. Even I'm afraid of his thing; it's simply unmatched."
Thinking this, Third Sister said to Si Gou, who was still watching the live performance, "You've taken over my body, and I still don't know your name!"
"Si Gou."
"Dead dog?" Third Sister found it extremely interesting and asked, "And what's his name?"
Si Gou stroked her smooth back and said, "Huang Xiping."
Third Sister enjoyed the teasing and asked, "Has he practiced martial arts?"
Si Gou's hand moved to her firm, beautiful buttocks and said, "No, but he's naturally strong. A dozen or so young hunters in the village are no match for him. Even someone like me, who has practiced martial arts for a few days, can't withstand a head-on collision with him."
Third Sister was extremely surprised but didn't ask any more questions, gently... Biting Si Gou's earlobe, she said, "Aren't you going to ask what their names are?"
Si Gou, flattered, replied, "May I?"
The third sister said, "We are from the Butterfly Sect."
Si Gou exclaimed, "The Butterfly Sect?"
The third sister scolded, "Don't interrupt! My name is Jade Butterfly, my eldest sister is Cloud Butterfly, my second sister is Water Butterfly, my fourth sister is Rain Butterfly, my fifth sister is Green Butterfly, my sixth sister is Red Butterfly, and my seventh sister is Spring Butterfly. In the martial arts world, we are known as the Seven Butterfly Beauties."
Si Gou said sarcastically, "No wonder, no wonder... Oh dear! No, they all know how to use sexual cultivation techniques." "Isn't Xiping going to die from exhaustion because of their techniques?"
Third Sister said, "Don't worry, judging from the situation, it's my sisters who will be exhausted by him. I'm also wondering, usually several men can't satisfy any of them, but now... What is your brother made of?"
Fourth Dog laughed, "Why don't you try it and you'll know." Third Sister
blushed and scolded, "I just got to know you, how can I go and do that with him again?"
Fourth Dog said, "It's rumored in the martial arts world that you don't refuse anyone, and I won't mind."
Third Sister looked at the man beneath her for a long time and murmured, "I'm almost thirty years old, and although I've used the methods of tonifying and maintaining myself like a girl in her early twenties, I'm always thinking about finding a home. After meeting you, I've decided to be only your woman, and you will be my only man from now on."
Fourth Dog suddenly flipped over and pinned her down, kissing her and saying, "Yu Die, you've made me impulsive, I want to thank you for my masculine prowess!"
The flames of passion were reignited.
Xi Ping thrust violently into Yun Die's body more than ten times, finally collapsing on top of her, panting heavily. The five women lying asleep beside him were still dazed and confused.
Two loyal spectators, already dressed and watching from the sidelines, approached.
Si Gou said, "Xi Ping, can't you get up?"
Xi Ping lifted his head from Yun Die's jade-like breasts and said, "Do you mean long legs or long spear?"
"Wow! You're still so vigorous, kid?" Si Gou shouted, staring at his genitals as Xi Ping withdrew from Yun Die's body.
Xi Ping laughed, "Even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't die easily."
"A spear that has fought a hundred battles never softens!" Yu Die corrected from the side.
Xi Ping looked at the bold beauty, whose face flushed again under his gaze. She scolded, "What are you looking at? Aren't the six of them enough for you? I swear I'll stick with Si Gou, so don't try to seduce me and make me break my promise." Her voice trailed off, only she could hear it.
Xi Ping said with ill intent, "I was just about to invite you to bathe with me, but since you don't want to..." Yu Die
stomped her foot at Si Gou and said, "You bastard, if you let him seduce me again, I'll betray you."
Si Gou looked at the woman's lovely charm and hugged her, saying, "Then I'll have to find a few more women, just in case no one's there to put out my fire after you leave."
Yu Die glared at him and pinched Si Gou's thigh hard. Si Gou screamed like a pig being slaughtered, "Ouch, that hurts!"
Xi Ping soaked in the pool, feeling an indescribable sense of comfort. However, his mind was filled with doubts: "Why am I so impulsive today? When making love with them, my lust burns uncontrollably, and for a long time I can't help but seek release. Why is this? Who are these women? They don't seem to be ordinary women. Sigh! This is really troubling."
Xi Ping never imagined that his burning lust was entirely due to the desire he felt upon seeing the women's naked bodies. This desire had triggered his Nine Yang Body, which was suppressed by the Earth Spring Milk and mixed with the Fire Cloud Inner Core and Blood Serpent Inner Core, causing his yang energy to surge out uncontrollably. If it weren't for the yin energy of the six women harmonizing it, he would have died from excessive yang long ago.
His Nine Yang Body, which combined two extremely yang and yin inner cores, could not be calmed without sufficient female yin energy. The Seven Butterfly Beauties were practitioners of yin true energy and possessed profound seductive skills, which enabled them to withstand the sudden burst of extreme yang energy from the Nine Yang Body.
When the Nine Yang Heavy Body erupts, if it can obtain enough female Yin Qi to harmonize with it, it can combine with the Earth Spring Milk Spirit Qi within its body to become a continuous stream of Earth Yin Qi, allowing it to quickly achieve repeated erections even after orgasm.
Precisely because he had practiced the "Heaven and Earth Heart Sutra," the Earth Yin Qi within his body combined with the Nine Yang Heavy Body, which is a mixture of two kinds of internal elixirs. When Yang is exhausted, Yin is born; when Yin is exhausted, Yang is born, endlessly, achieving the "Heavenly Yang and Earthly Yin Realm" that the Nine Yang Heavy Body can reach. In addition to being able to do whatever he wants and be invincible in sexual matters, it also has an unnamed potential, which he himself is completely unaware of.
Xi Ping enjoyed the natural bath, closing his eyes and thinking blissfully, "These women are so much more beautiful than the girls in the village! If I take them back, Da Feng will be green with envy. But I wonder if they would be willing to be my wives?"
He unconsciously recalled his earlier wild abandon on their beautiful bodies, and a surge of desire welled up within him. He found his previously limp penis hardening again. Startled, he quickly and deliberately calmed himself down.
Suddenly overcome with curiosity, he focused his mind on his lower body as instructed in the "Heaven and Earth Heart Sutra," and surprisingly, he could make himself hard and soft at will—it was incredibly interesting.
Then, he suddenly remembered the line, "After mastering this, I guarantee you will be invincible in conquering beauties," and smiled knowingly, muttering to himself, "So it's only invincible in this area. No wonder I've been practicing in bed for three whole years, even reaching the state described in the sutra as 'not needing to deliberately circulate energy, but being able to circulate it with my breath,' without any significant improvement in fighting. I was so shocked to realize I'd been tricked. Now I know it's 'the art of sex,' not some fighting skill. I'll have to find another fighting skill to practice. Sigh! I can't even beat Four Dogs, it's so embarrassing."
Suddenly, he felt a tickle in his ears, and several soft hands roamed over his muscular body. A charming voice whispered in his ear, "Shall we bathe with you?"
Butterfly Seven Princesses watched the two men leave gracefully, their faces filled with reluctance.
Water Butterfly broke the silence first, saying, "I really want to go with them!"
Jade Butterfly laughed, "Second Sister, your heart has already gone with him."
Green Butterfly said, "Third Sister, aren't you the same? Saying things like 'I've decided to be only your woman, you're my only man from now on,' is so cheesy!"
Cloud Butterfly smiled bitterly, "Don't even mention Third Sister, I want to be with him for life, but I don't know if he'll look down on us?"
Spring Butterfly said, "Eldest Sister, after we complete our mission, we'll go find him! I've never met a man who moves me so much. His handsome appearance and strong body are the embodiment of all my dreams!"
Cloud Butterfly looked at Spring Butterfly, who was full of longing, and said, "You little vixen, save your dreams for later! We need to be more realistic now." After saying that, she suddenly said seriously, "Let's go! Let's meet up with the princess."

Chapter Four: Tiger and Leopard Girl

Xi Ping and Four Dogs embark on their journey again.
Both men were still savoring their recent encounter, considering it the most legendary and sensual experience of their lives, their minds still filled with images of women's bodies and their passionate embrace.
Si Gou said, still savoring the memory, "I really want to sleep with that slut Yu Die for ten days and ten nights."
Xi Ping said, "She seems to have really fallen for you, and even said she'd come to see you in a while. Are you planning to marry her?"
Si Gou replied, "Of course, I'm open to all comers, the more the merrier."
Xi Ping glared at him and said, "I don't think so! Didn't you say you could handle three? But when it came to the real thing, you just lay on top of the women like a dead dog, making me risk my life for them. How could you do that to me?"
“I saw you haven’t touched a woman in twenty years, you’re sexually starved, so I made sure you had your fill, so you wouldn’t say I wasn’t a good brother.” Si Gou said helplessly, “I still need to save some energy to deal with that little vixen, Lan Hua.”
Xi Ping looked excited and said, “Lan Hua?”
Si Gou shouted, “Xi Ping, what’s with that expression? I’m warning you, Lan Hua is my dream girl, I’ve had a crush on her for three whole years, don’t you dare steal her away.”
Xi Ping smiled bitterly, “Do I look like that kind of person?”
The next day, Xi Ping and Si Gou arrived at Fengxian City, where Yuanyang Escort Agency was located. The two walked along the wide streets, quite satisfied.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of hooves and people’s exclamations behind them. They quickly turned around and their faces changed drastically.
At this moment, three fine horses were already in front of them, and it was too late to dodge. In a flash, Si Gou drew his sword and swiftly slashed at the horses’ forelegs, using the momentum to retreat rapidly.
The horse, its forelegs severed by the sword, lurched forward. Caught off guard, the woman on horseback lunged at Si Gou, who tossed aside his sword and caught her with open arms.
Just as the horse was about to strike, Xi Ping reflexively threw a side hook with his right fist, striking the horse's neck with a loud "thud," knocking it to the ground.
The woman on horseback leaped off its back, soaring into the air before landing gracefully in front of Xi Ping, shouting, "You brat, how dare you kill my mount?"
Xi Ping stared intently at his fist, utterly incredulous. He had actually killed a horse with a single punch; even he was baffled. Hearing the woman's roar, Xi Ping looked up from his fist and stared at the woman before him, stunned once more.
The woman was almost as tall as him, with beautiful facial features and a fit figure. Her healthy, sun-tanned skin shimmered with a captivating glow, and she exuded a wild beauty. At this moment, she resembled an enraged female leopard, her beautiful eyes glaring at him, her sensual lips beckoning him to taste.
Xi Ping stared, licking his dry lips, frozen in place, unsure of what to do.
A woman's angry voice rang out from behind, "You damn dog, let me go! How long are you going to hold me like this?"
Si Gou replied, "Until the end of time!"
The woman in front of Xi Ping glanced at Si Gou and said, "Si Gou, you've become quite the smooth talker these past few days! Let go of Lan Hua!"
Si Gou timidly replied, "Yes, Miss."
As he released Lan Hua, he casually touched her face with his right hand, then brought it to his nose and sniffed it forcefully, shouting, "Scented!"
The girl he had groped stamped her foot and said, "You damn dog, you've bullied me! I'm never talking to you again!"
Si Gou ignored her scolding and walked to Xi Ping's side, saying to the woman, "Miss, he's my childhood friend."
The woman said, "Does your friend give you the right to be rude to me?"
Si Gou said, "Miss—"
Xi Ping interrupted, "Who's being rude? Your horse is going to trample over me!" "Can't I defend myself?"
The young woman seemed surprised that Xi Ping dared to talk back to her. She drew her sword and pointed it at Xi Ping, saying, "You, you—I'm going to kill you!"
Si Gou was shocked and stepped in front of Xi Ping, forcing a smile, "Miss, you're a magnanimous person, don't stoop to his level."
The young woman ignored Si Gou and still said to Xi Ping, "Boy, make your move!"
Si Gou said helplessly, "Miss, you're probably going to be disappointed. He doesn't know martial arts, how can he make a move?"
The young woman looked incredulous and said, "You say he doesn't know martial arts, how could he knock down my horse with one punch?"
Si Gou spread his hands and said, "Maybe even he doesn't understand. I only know that he has superhuman strength and is a first-rate fighter."
The young woman stared at Xi Ping behind Si Gou, but saw that Xi Ping was also staring at her, which made her feel that this was a challenge, and she felt a strong desire to conquer this unruly man.
She turned to Si Gou and said, "Unless he apologizes to me and becomes my slave, obeying my every command!"
Xi Ping, upon hearing this, was furious, almost going mad. He pressed his strong body against her and shouted, "I'll ride you!"
Xi Ping sat sullenly at the table, looking at Si Gou across from her, who was still sniffing his fingers. He said, "You've been sniffing all day; the fragrance has become stinky."
Si Gou took a deep sniff and said, "Three years! For the first time in three years, I've held her, touched her face for the first time! You have no idea how excited I was! Before, I could only see her from afar, barely even had a chance to speak to her. Today, she's throwing herself into my arms! Xi Ping, do you think she's fallen for me?"
Xi Ping replied indifferently, "I think you're the one in heat."
"She's in heat, I'm in heat, we're both passionately in love, it's a perfect match, a harmonious union." Si Gou completely ignored Xi Ping's sarcasm, kissed his middle finger, and said to himself, "Smells good!"
Helpless, Xi Ping slammed his head on the table, feigning pitifulness, and said, "I'm in a terrible situation! That tigress actually wants me to be her lackey, saying I'll be at her beck and call at any time! You better think of something!"
Si Gou glanced at the pitiful man, then continued focusing on the fingers that had touched Lan Hua's face, and said, "You're lucky. Since she's changed her gender today, you should thank your lucky stars for not stabbing you ten or eight times with a sword. What's wrong with serving her a little? Besides, she's much prettier than my Lan Hua, hey! Just not as gentle and cute as my Lan Hua. Oh, Lan Hua!"
Xi Ping couldn't take it anymore and slapped Si Gou's fingers, shouting, "I'm a man! How can I be bossed around by a woman? Where's my dignity?"
Si Gou quickly put his middle finger to his lips and blew hard, saying, "Go away, go away, go away! You don't belong to me! " "The scent of orchids fades with the wind, but please leave behind their fragrance." Then, glancing at the furious Xi Ping, he said helplessly, "She's a young lady, and we're her subordinates. How can you expect me to help you? As for other matters, I'll ask the young master for help, and he'll resolve them immediately."
Xi Ping, as if seeing water in the desert, exclaimed joyfully, "Young master?"
Si Gou said, "He's the tigress's only brother. When I first arrived in this city, I fainted from hunger in the street, and the young master saved me. From then on, I followed him, outwardly master and servant, but secretly as close as brothers. Now, as for this matter... it seems he doesn't dare to step forward."
Xi Ping felt the water in the desert vanish in an instant and asked, "Why?"
Si Gou said, "Because he's even more afraid of his sister than we are."
Xi Ping felt hopeless and said weakly, "Is that so? Let's try anything! We'll go find him now."
"Right now, I just want to lie in bed and reminisce about my Orchid, have a sweet dream about being intimate with her, and we'll go together tomorrow!" Si Gou stood up and walked towards the bed, then suddenly turned to Xi Ping and said, "Don't worry, the tigress has probably already forgotten about you."
"Huang Xi Ping, Miss is calling for you." Orchid's gentle voice suddenly rang out from outside, sounding like thunder to Xi Ping, shattering the world before him.
However, Si Gou, who had already declared himself asleep, heard Orchid's voice and, like a hungry dog smelling a bone, rushed towards the door and disappeared from the room in an instant.
"Orchid!" Si Gou slammed on the brakes, looking at the woman who had captivated him, speechless for a moment.
Orchid pouted, turned her head away, and without even looking at him, called out, "Huang Xiping, come out!"
Sigou panicked, scratching his head, "You're really ignoring me? I...I apologize!"
Orchid called again, "Huang Xiping—" She saw Xiping walk out of the room dejectedly, paused, and continued, "Miss wants you. Come with me."
With that, she ignored the aggrieved Sigou beside her and turned and floated away.
Xiping glanced at his heartbroken companion and suddenly felt less miserable. His mood improved, and he said to Sigou, "Sigou, I'm going with Orchid. You can dream on! Orchid, oh, so fragrant!"
Xiping hadn't expected a woman's room to be so beautiful and fragrant. He took a few deep breaths and, oblivious, imitated Sigou, saying, "Fragrant!"
The three women in the room laughed uproariously at his behavior, their bodies trembling, making Xiping dizzy and forget who he was.
After the three women finished laughing, the young lady said, "Do you know why I called you here?"
Her beautiful eyes stared at Xiping with a challenging look, as if issuing a challenge to the tall, handsome man before her. Seeing the man's bewildered and stunned expression, she felt a strange urge to laugh.
Xiping didn't know how this woman was going to mess with him, but he wasn't afraid of her spoiled and rude behavior. Seeing her unrestrained laughter and her unusually athletic physique, he felt an urge to conquer her and make her beg for mercy in his arms.
Xiping thought it was a good idea. His handsome face relaxed, a barely perceptible smile appearing at the corners of his mouth, his eyes teasingly fixed on the proud beauty, like a hunter eyeing its prey.
The three women looked at this unruly man and sensed his sudden composure, and a dangerous undertone.
The young lady suddenly blushed and said, "You haven't answered me yet."
Xi Ping said, "Even if you asked me to lick your slightly smelly toes..."
The young lady interrupted him, angrily saying, "Yours is smelly!"
Xi Ping pretended to be deep in thought, muttering to himself, "How would she know? Could it be that she secretly licked my toes?"
The young lady roared, "Huang--Xi--Ping!"
"Yes!" Xi Ping pretended to be suddenly awake, looking at the angry beauty in front of him, finding it quite enjoyable to see her provoked.
The young lady suddenly turned her anger into laughter, saying, "I'm telling you to come first thing every morning to lick my toes clean, help me put on my shoes, and follow me around all day long. Whatever I tell you to do, you have to do!"
Xi Ping was dumbfounded.
A smooth hand brushed across his handsome face, and the owner of the hand said, "Go back first, and come back at dawn tomorrow. Don't be late!"
Xi Ping left the young lady's room as instructed, still unable to let go of the young lady's actions towards him—as if he had been molested. He kept pondering when to molest her too, to salvage his male dignity.
After all, it's only men who molest women, never women who molest men.
After Xi Ping left, the beautiful, delicate girl sitting beside him, who hadn't spoken until now, asked with a mixture of amusement and curiosity, "Senior sister, do you really want him to lick your toes?"
"Just to let him know that I, Lei Feng, am not someone to be trifled with!" the young lady said fiercely, gazing in the direction Xi Ping had gone.
The girl suddenly understood something. She knew that her proud senior sister's heart could no longer remain calm; this arrogant beauty's soul had been gradually invaded by that man without her even realizing it.
The girl sighed, "Senior sister, it's our fault, we shouldn't blame him."
Lei Feng chuckled strangely, "Oh? Bi Rou, you're actually pleading for him, have you taken a liking to him?"
Bi Rou blushed and said, "How could I?"
Lei Feng touched Bi Rou's rosy cheeks and said, "Don't be shy, he certainly has the qualifications to be my rascal brother's formidable rival in love."
"I'm not coming!" Bi Rou buried her head in Lei Feng's arms, pouting and acting coquettishly, but in her heart she thought, "If it weren't for Lei Long, would I like him?"
Lan Hua interjected, "Miss, I also think we were in the wrong."
Lei Feng said, "What? Lan Hua, you just threw yourself at Si Gou, and now you want to save the hero with a beauty? You're quite the romantic, I wonder who you're planning to marry, Si Gou or Huang Xiping?"
Lan Hua covered her face with her hands in embarrassment and stamped her feet, "Miss!"
Lei Feng said in surprise, "You want to marry me? No way, no way, you should find a proper man!"
The three girls suddenly burst into laughter.

Chapter Five: The infatuated young master

Xi Ping returned to his residence listlessly,
only to find a young man inside. This young man was slightly taller than Xi Ping, with handsome features, somewhat resembling Lei Feng, and a well-proportioned figure, exuding an undeniable air of elegance and charm. Xi Ping immediately recognized this young man as the young master Si Gou had mentioned.
Seeing him return, Si Gou said, "Xi Ping, this is our young master Lei Long."
Lei Long, seeing Xi Ping's defeated rooster-like appearance, found it somewhat amusing, but he was more astonished by Xi Ping's handsomeness and strength, thinking to himself, "No wonder Si Gou was afraid Lan Hua would fall for him; he truly is an outstanding man."
Xi Ping felt a glimmer of hope rise in his heart and said, "Young Master Lei Long, can you save me?"
Lei Long had learned the whole story from Si Gou, and upon hearing Xi Ping's request, he smiled bitterly, "I can help you even if you offend someone else, but this sister, I'm avoiding her like the plague, let alone begging her!"
Xi Ping looked utterly disappointed.
Si Gou seemed to remember something and called out to Xi Ping, "What's wrong with Lan Hua?"
Seeing his look of wanting to pick a fight, Xi Ping thought the boy was quite jealous, and deliberately said loudly, "Lan Hua, not bad, fragrant, really fragrant!"
Si Gou was speechless with anger.
Xi Ping laughed loudly, "I didn't expect you to be so jealous. I'll treat you to a good meal another day. Now let's go drink."
Lei Long agreed, "Drink, let's go outside and have a good drink!"
The three men drank heavily at the Chunlai Inn.
Xi Ping said, "Come on, bottoms up, for the disaster of tomorrow!"
Si Gou said, "Bottoms up, for the lovely orchid!"
Lei Long said, "Bottoms up, for—for Bi Rou!"
Xi Ping, his eyes still blurry with drunkenness, said, "Bi Rou? Is that the quiet, beautiful girl beside your sister?"
Lei Long said, "That's her. We've been childhood sweethearts. A few days ago, I went to a brothel, and she found out. She hasn't spoken to me since. Come on, let's drink!"
Si Gou downed his drink in one gulp, pouring more wine as he said, "Young master, don't be sad. It's just a brothel. What man doesn't go once or twice? Have a good drink! Tomorrow, when you're sober, Miss Bi Rou's anger will be gone."
Xi Ping laughed wildly, "You two, you're in the same boat, both troubled by love and women, haha! That's hilarious! Drink! Drink! Come on, bottoms up again!"
He seemed to have forgotten that he was also the first to suggest drinking because of a woman.
The three men, for the sake of the three women, drank until they were completely drunk.
The innkeeper notified the镖局 (bodyguard agency), and a dozen burly men arrived and carried them back.
The next day, the disaster Xiping predicted did not come, because when Lan Hua went to call him, he was still groggily shouting, "Cheers, for the disaster tomorrow."
"Cheers, for lovely Lan Hua!" This was a phrase that Si Gou kept shouting. Upon hearing this, Lan Hua blushed and turned to run away.
Three women peered out from the door.
Lei Feng said, "Didn't he sober up last night? Why isn't he here yet?"
Lan Hua said, "Miss, I'll go call him again!"
Bi Rou said, "No need, he's here."
Xiping indeed arrived, carrying two large wooden buckets in his hands, water splashing out as he walked. He put down the two buckets, almost full of water, in front of Lei Feng and said, "Miss, you're here so early!"
Lei Feng's eyes widened and she said, "Waiting for you! Why did you bring two buckets of water?"
Xiping said seriously, "To wash your feet."
The two women chuckled to themselves.
Lei Feng was both amused and exasperated. "Did I ask you to wash my feet?" she asked.
"Even though you didn't ask, I think it's more hygienic to wash your toes before licking them!" Xi Ping said, taking two items from her clothes, one in each hand. "I've prepared a brush and some milk. They'll make your feet smell sweet and soft."
The two women, who had been chuckling, suddenly burst into laughter.
Lei Feng, who had intended to lash out, found herself laughing along with them.
Xi Ping said, "What's so funny? If you want someone to lick your toes, hurry up, or forget it."
Lei Feng finally managed to stop laughing, and surprisingly, instead of getting angry, she deliberately said, "You're so thoughtful. Now I don't need you to lick my feet anymore. You can just stand here all day carrying two buckets of water, okay?"
Xi Ping shouted, "No way! That's against the contract!"
Lei Feng said, "Is it? Didn't you say you'd do whatever I asked?"
Her smug eyes made Xi Ping's scalp tingle. He realized then that he had made a huge mistake. The two wooden buckets were too big, and almost full of water…
Xi Ping stood ramrod straight, carrying the two buckets.
Lei Long and Si Gou walked side by side, reaching Xi Ping. Si Gou asked, “Xi Ping, what are you doing?”
Xi Ping replied irritably, “Can’t you see for yourself? It’s unnecessary!”
Lei Long continued, “I just want to know why.”
Xi Ping said, “I like it! It’s good exercise.”
Lei Long patted his arm and laughed, “It’s indeed a good method, no wonder your arms are so strong! Oh! I have important business, I won’t disturb you. Work out well, keep it up!”
Xi Ping vented, “I’ll definitely beat you up when I get the chance.”
Lei Long, looking like he couldn’t do anything about it, called into the room, “Sister, I’m here.”
Lei Feng asked, “What are you doing here?”
Lei Long was about to push the door open when Lei Feng pulled it open.
Lei Feng came out to greet them, followed by Bi Rou and Lan Hua.
Si Gou also stepped forward, his thieving eyes roaming over Lan Hua.
"We came to see Xiping," Sigou said insincerely, secretly thinking, "Of course, we're here to see Lanhua."
Leilong gave Sigou an approving look, thinking the kid was quite clever to come up with such a good reason so easily: "Yes! Xiping and I hit it off immediately, like heroes recognizing heroes, we wish we'd met sooner! We came specifically to see if he's been mistreated by his sister."
Leifeng laughed, "Did I mistreat him?"
Leilong and Sigou said in unison, "No."
Upon hearing this, Xiping cursed inwardly, "You forget your friends for the sake of beauty."
Leifeng said, "Since that's the case, you should go now, I'm going to practice my skills. Huang Xiping, don't slack off!"
"Me too!" Leilong and Sigou followed Leifeng and the others without saying a word, they couldn't be chased away.
Lanhua turned around and said, "You dead dog, aren't you going to see Huang Xiping anymore?"
Sigou said confidently, "I already saw him, my friendship is over, now I'm going to pursue the love of Lanhua."
Leilong suddenly had a strong urge to become Sigou's apprentice.
Hearing this from afar, Xi Ping only wanted to punch Si Gou twice.
"My hands are numb," Xi Ping complained.
Lei Long and Si Gou stood on either side of him, each holding one of his hands, massaging them.
Si Gou said, "Xi Ping, show us your never-give-up spirit!"
Lei Long said, "That's right, perseverance is victory."
If Xi Ping were a little forgetful, he would be incredibly grateful for their full support, but he vividly remembered these two guys chasing after women like two loyal male dogs while he was suffering.
He felt like he was doing all the work for others, and said resentfully, "Of course you win, but my perseverance only continues the disaster."
Si Gou tried to win him over, "For brothers, we'd go to great lengths, let alone you carrying water with your hands?"
Lei Long flattered, "Yes! Xi Ping, our happiness depends entirely on you."
Xi Ping said, "Can't you go find them without me?"
Lei Long said, "From what I understand, my sister has become much gentler since she met you. Normally, she would never allow us to follow them, but surprisingly, she didn't object today. However, if you anger her, we'll be in trouble. It would be best if you could make her happy; if she's in a good mood, our future will be bright."
Lei Long was clearly telling Xi Ping to woo his older sister—this kid, for his own love, he was willing to betray his sister!
Si Gou said, "Don't back down. I finally managed to win Lan Hua's smile. If you offend Miss Lan, all my efforts will be wasted."
Lei Long was shocked and asked, "When did Lan Hua smile at you?"
Si Gou said, "Oh dear! Young master, how can you be so forgetful? When I tripped over a stone on the road, didn't they all laugh? Especially Lan Hua's smile when she turned around, it made my bones melt."
Lei Long echoed, "I also got a word from Bi Rou. This is the first time she has spoken to me in days, it's truly like hearing heavenly music."
Si Gou asked, "Young master, what did Miss Bi Rou say?"
Lei Long recalled, "She said, 'Go, go to Qunfang Tower to find your lover,' that's all."
"Qunfang Tower?" Si Gou said in surprise.
Lei Long asked, "You've been there too?"
Si Gou quickly denied, "No, no."
Lei Long sighed, "A few days ago, I heard that a courtesan named Leng Rubing came to Qunfanglou. She's beautiful and talented, and if you want to become her patron, you have to pass three tests." Xi
Ping became interested and asked, "What three tests?"
Lei Long said, "First, you have to be able to sing."
Xi Ping interjected, "Singing is my specialty."
Si Gou mocked, "Your singing is so grating that even a deaf person would find it unpleasant."
"That's because you don't know how to appreciate it!" Xi Ping felt a chill at the top and started singing loudly, "I throw my left fist, I throw my right fist..."
Lei Long frowned and said, "Stop, stop, stop! Do you want to hear what I have to say or not?"
Xi Ping reluctantly ended his singing—his singing was simply unbearable noise to the other two.
Si Gou said, "Young Master, please speak!"
Lei Long continued, "The second test is to be able to fight."
Xi Ping was about to say, "I love fighting!" when Si Gou, with foresight, quickly reached out and covered his mouth with a hand.
Lei Long continued, "The third test, and the most important one, is that she has to be interested in you. If she isn't interested, then it's all off the table."
Xi Ping slapped Si Gou's hand off his mouth, spat, and said, "Stinky!"
Si Gou asked, "Did you see her, Young Master?"
Lei Long said dejectedly, "No. The first test stumped me, and Bi Rou found out I went to a brothel and has ignored me ever since. Alas! I didn't get to eat the mutton, but I got myself into a mess!"
The two men felt sorry for Lei Long.
Xi Ping patted his chest and said, "Next time I'll go with you and break through the three barriers!"
Lei Long and Si Gou exclaimed in unison, "You?"
"Don't believe me? Listen carefully!" Xi Ping sat up straight, coughed twice, cleared his throat, and sang loudly, "I'll throw my left fist, then my right fist, followed by a series of kicks, and beat you into a big fat pig..."
Lei Long and Si Gou, disregarding everything, covered their heads and ran outside, quickly escaping the performance venue.

Chapter Six: Thunder Tribulation Divine Blade

The next day, when Xi Ping went to the appointment, he had an extra chair in his hand. He thought that if Lei Feng asked him to guard the gate again, he would sit comfortably. However, he stood with the chair on his head all day, his head almost flattened by the chair.
On the third day, Xi Ping went empty-handed. Lei Feng asked him to catch butterflies, but he refused to do so, arguing that catching butterflies was a girl's game, how could a dignified man like him catch butterflies?
Thus, the great man became a gatekeeper again.
That day, a middle-aged couple came to Lei Feng's door, glanced at Xi Ping, smiled at each other, and left.
Xi Ping wondered who they might be looking for, but didn't really care. He'd gotten used to other members of the escort agency coming to "see" things over the past two days; he'd become a free spectacle.
After Xi Ping's "brave stepping forward," Lei Long and Si Gou raced against time to continue their long-distance relationship. As usual, Si Gou would trip over stones several times a day, sometimes his left foot tripping his right, sometimes his right, and sometimes even running over to trip over a stone, yelling "Ouch!" and deliberately falling to the ground.
The first few times, Lan Hua would glance back, but later, whenever she heard "Ouch!", she'd lurch forward, afraid that the "champion of falls" would "accidentally" fall on her back.
Lei Long tirelessly apologized and begged every day: "Bi Rou, I know I was wrong, please forgive me just this once, I'll never dare to do it again! Bi Rou, you can scold me, you can hit me, just please don't always ignore me! Heavens, what do you want from me?"
He repeated these words hundreds of times every day, and sometimes he would suddenly blurt out, "Bi Rou, I'm thirsty, go get some water."
Between Xi Ping's standing still and Lei Long's four dogs chasing him, time slipped away quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
Xi Ping had become a spectacle in front of Lei Feng's door; the people from the escort agency were used to it, only some young maids couldn't help but steal a glance or two at his handsome face when passing by.
One day at noon, a white-haired tourist arrived.
When this tall old man appeared before Xi Ping, Xi Ping was also awestruck by the casually exuded authority. His piercing gaze lingered on Xi Ping for a long time, gradually revealing a satisfied smile.
Xi Ping found the old man strange, as if he had come specifically to see him. He said somewhat displeased, "Old man, what do you want?"
The old man said, "Your name is Huang Xi Ping? You're the one who knocked down Feng'er's horse with one punch?"
Xi Ping felt a surge of pride, held his fist up to the old man's face, and said, "Look, doesn't it look like me?"
"Huang Xi Ping, what are you doing to my grandfather?"
Upon hearing the voice, Xi Ping knew that Lei Feng and the others had arrived, and thought to himself, "So this old man is Lei Feng and Lei Long's grandfather, Lei Zhan!"
Lei Zhan said to the approaching Lei Feng, "Feng'er, you're back! This young man is quite good. He showed me his fist, and it is indeed incredibly strong!"
Lei Feng threw herself into Lei Zhan's arms and said, "Grandpa, did this scoundrel really not do anything rude to you?"
Lei Zhan chuckled and said, "No, no! He's very polite, I like him very much. Feng'er, come with Grandpa, Grandpa has something to tell you."
Lei Feng hummed in agreement.
Lei Long and Si Gou only dared to approach and interrogate Xi Ping after watching them walk away.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bi Rou and Lan Hua slipped into Lei Feng's room and locked the door.
The two had no choice but to continue their friendly conversation with Xi Ping.
The three chatted idly in front of Lei Feng's door until it was time for dinner before leaving—Xi Ping was guarding Lei Feng's door, while Lei Long and Si Gou were waiting for the two women inside.
In the morning, Lei Feng suggested going hunting in the wild, and everyone agreed, but surprisingly, Xi Ping was the loudest.
Although catching butterflies made him feel ashamed, his enthusiasm for hunting far exceeded that of being a doorman.
Lei Feng refused to let him go, so he begged her in a low voice, completely forgetting his so-called male dignity.
Lei Feng couldn't resist his pleas and finally agreed to let him go, but on one condition. Xi Ping felt that as long as he could go, nothing else mattered, and before Lei Feng could even state the condition, he readily agreed. Immediately after agreeing, he regretted it, but it was too late.
It turned out that Lei Feng wouldn't let him ride a horse; instead, he had to carry a large quiver of arrows and run behind the horses, and he was forbidden from falling behind—because when Lei Feng wanted to hunt, he had to immediately hand her the arrows.
Xi Ping couldn't back out, so he had to endure it.
For the entire day, Xi Ping kept running alongside their horses. Although he sometimes fell far behind, he would soon catch up again, though he was panting heavily.
The other five were amazed by Xi Ping's stamina and endurance; it was unbelievable that someone without any training in light-body techniques could keep up with a horse's pace! However, even more unbelievable was that they didn't catch a single prey all day.
Lei Long and Si Gou were only focused on approaching and capturing their prey, showing no interest in anything else. The three women, on the other hand, seemed only interested in indulging in nature, pointing and commenting on every animal they saw—they didn't like that one, or thought it was too beautiful to kill. Finally, Bi Rou and Lan Hua felt the bows and arrows were too heavy, so they each stuffed their own into Lei Long and Si Gou's arms, happy to be free.
Xi Ping caught up from behind, and Lei Feng, like Bi Rou and Lan Hua, handed him the bows and arrows.
Xi Ping was overjoyed, shooting at everything he saw along the way, but after emptying his hands, he hadn't hit a single one. Still enthusiastic, he took arrows from Lei Long and Si Gou and shot again, but still missed nothing. Frustrated, he threw the bow, managing to knock down a squirrel sleeping in a tree.
The next day, Xi Ping got up early and prepared to go to Lei Feng's place, but was stopped by Lei Long, who said that his grandfather wanted Xi Ping to come over.
Xi Ping followed Lei Long to the secret room of Yuanyang Escort Agency and met Lei Zhan.
Lei Zhan asked Lei Long to go out first, and after closing the door tightly, he smiled and said to Xi Ping, "Young man, do you know why I called you here?"
Xi Ping thought to himself, "If you don't tell me, how am I supposed to know what you're up to? What a pointless question!" But he said aloud, "Old镖头 (镖头 is a term for a镖头, meaning镖头 is a term for a镖头, meaning a镖头 is a term for a镖头, meaning a镖头is a term
for a镖头, meaning a镖头 is a term for a镖头, meaning a镖头 is a term for a镖头, meaning a镖头 is a term for a镖头), is there. Lei Zhan said, "Don't call me Old镖头, just call me Grandpa like Feng'er and Long'er do."
Xi Ping replied, "Grandpa."
Lei Zhan seemed extremely happy and chuckled, "Ping'er, I want to show you something."
Lei Zhan took a sheathed, thick-backed sword about 130 centimeters long from the weapon rack and handed it to Xi Ping. Xi Ping took it with both hands and felt a sudden heaviness in his hands, estimating that the sword weighed at least 70 or 80 kilograms.
Lei Zhan said, "Draw it out and let me see!"
Xi Ping did as he was told, drawing the sword from its sheath. The blade was dark red, thick, and somewhat blunt. The sword, aside from its simplicity, seemed unremarkable. He didn't understand Lei Zhan's purpose in showing him this heavy and dull sword.
Lei Zhan seemed to guess Xi Ping's thoughts and recalled, "Over eighty years ago, this sword was invincible. It was the legendary Blazing Sun Sword that once shook the martial world! My father, Lei Lie, relied on it and his self-created 'Thunder Tribulation Divine Sword' to build the Yuanyang Escort Agency. Back then, when he was a bodyguard traveling the martial world, no one dared touch the Yuanyang Escort Agency's carts; their business flourished throughout the north and south. Now things are very different. Since my father passed away, the Yuanyang Escort Agency's reputation in the martial world has declined day by day, all because after my father, no one in the Lei family has mastered the 'Thunder Tribulation Divine Sword,' and no one can wield this Blazing Sun Sword. Do you know why?"
Xi Ping shook his head, indicating he didn't know.
Lei Zhan continued, "This sword is 135 centimeters long in total, with a blade 105 centimeters long and a hilt 30 centimeters long. The widest part of the blade is 23 centimeters, and it weighs 87 kilograms. An ordinary person would find it difficult to lift it with one hand, and even martial artists, unless they possess superhuman strength, cannot wield it for an extended period."
He coughed, cleared his throat, and added, "To unleash the full power of this sword, one must master the 'True Flame Scripture,' and combine it with the 'Thunder Tribulation Divine Sword' and the 'Lightning Feet' to make it invincible! In the past eighty years, besides my father, Lei Lie, who acquired this sword and created this sword technique..." "No one else can wield the 'Thunder Tribulation Divine Blade' with this sword."
He continued, "Those who practice the 'True Flame Scripture' must be extremely yang and strong, and the person wielding this sword must possess excellent physical strength. Not only that, but they also need explosive leg strength and infinite endurance to unleash the thunderous 'Thunder Tribulation Divine Blade' while simultaneously activating 'Lightning Footwork.' That's why, after I learned that you could knock down Feng'er's horse with one punch, and that you could fight six women in a row and still be full of vigor, I still made Feng'er force you to run alongside the horse for a whole day."
Xi Ping shouted, "Grandpa!" "So, this hunting idea was yours?"
Lei Zhan blushed and said, "My father told me that this sword technique is a combination of the 'True Flame Scripture,' 'Thunder Tribulation Divine Blade,' 'Lightning Foot,' and the 'Blazing Sun True Blade,' and none of the four can be missing. The 'Thunder Tribulation Divine Blade' is a one-way, incomparably fierce sword technique. From the moment it is activated, it will not stop until the opponent is defeated. Therefore, this sword technique is entirely offensive. To continuously and rapidly swing the 'Blazing Sun True Blade,' one needs physical strength and endurance like yours. The most important aspect of this sword technique is speed. In battle, one needs to approach the opponent like lightning and relentlessly pursue them." To strike the opponent, one must use "Lightning Footwork," which is also a kind of light-footed movement technique. "I will now pass on this sword technique and this sword to you, so that they may regain their former glory in your hands!"
Xi Ping was flattered and said, "Grandpa, you're going to teach me martial arts?"
Lei Zhan laughed, "I noticed you on your first day at Yuanyang Escort Agency. Feng'er and Long'er's parents are also very satisfied with you, considering you their prospective son-in-law. You're quite fortunate, kid."
Xi Ping later learned that the so-called parents of Lei Feng and Lei Long were the couple who came to see him on his third day as a gatekeeper—Lei Yong and Huang Zixia.
Lei Zhan said, "Although we haven't mastered this sword technique, it has been passed down orally and through hands-on instruction from generation to generation. Ping'er, give me the sword!"
Lei Zhan took the Blazing Sun True Sword from Xi Ping's hands, stood with his feet together, the scabbard in his left hand resting flat at his waist, and held the sword in his right hand, the blade pointing backward, the tip firmly pointing diagonally downward and backward, saying, "This is the soul of the sword."
Then, he threw the scabbard to the ground, gripped the hilt with both hands, the blade pointing downward, the tip pointing diagonally forward and upward, saying, "This is the spirit of the sword."
After seeing this, Xi Ping felt as if he had been stabbed... Xi Ping shouted, "What! This is the Invincible Sword Technique?! Grandpa, you're not kidding me, are you?!"
Lei Zhan said, "You brat, I'm an old man, do you think I'd joke with you? Don't say you're confused, I'm baffled too. This is how my father passed it down to me, and this is how I'll pass it down to you. Listen carefully, now I'll teach you the incantations of 'True Flame Scripture' and 'Lightning Footwork'..."
Only after Xi Ping had memorized the incantations perfectly and mastered the two postures did Lei Zhan let him rest for a while.
Lei Zhan patted his shoulder and said, "My mission is complete. From now on, it's up to your own destiny. The martial arts world is in turmoil, with many talented individuals emerging from various schools. You must use this divine sword technique to restore the prestige of my Yuanyang Escort Agency."
Xi Ping said, "With this lousy sword technique?"
Lei Zhan angrily said, "You brat! What do you mean by lousy sword technique?! This is the Invincible Sword Technique, don't be lazy!!"
Xi Ping said, "Okay, Grandpa, invincible, invincible!"
Lei Zhan said, "That's more like it! Among the younger generation, the best martial artist in our Yuanyang Escort Agency is Feng'er. She has mastered the 'Raging Storm Sword Technique' passed down from my mother, even surpassing Long'er's 'Swimming Dragon Sword Technique'. As for your partner, Si Gou, he's not so good. Tomorrow, I'll have two deputy escorts teach him the 'Overlord Spear' and 'Heaven-Shattering Palm,' so you two can form the backbone of the Yuanyang Escort Agency and restore its prestige!"
Lei Zhan's voice was indeed booming.
In the following days, Xi Ping escaped Lei Feng's clutches and practiced martial arts with Lei Long and Si Gou, who were reluctant to leave Bi Rou and Lan Hua.
Time passed gradually in the martial arts world, and before they knew it, another half month had passed.

Chapter Seven: The Riot at the Brothel

On this day, Xi Ping was woken up by Si Gou in his sleep: "Xi Ping, go practice!"
Xi Ping rolled over, pulled the blanket over his head, and went back to sleep.
Si Gou continued to call out, "Xi Ping, get up!"
Xi Ping abruptly threw off the covers and roared, "Aren't you annoying me? I'm not going today no matter what! Damn it, I've practiced and practiced, and I haven't improved at all! What kind of invincible sword technique is this?! It makes me either stand there like an idiot with that crappy sword or just hack and slash randomly! You go practice by yourself, I'm going to make up for all the sleep I've lost these past few days."
Si Gou had no choice but to go out by himself, and after a while, he came back in with Lei Long.
Lei Long said, "Since you don't want to practice your skills, let's go find my sister to play."
Xi Ping rolled her eyes and said, "Are you trying to harm me? No way, no way!"
Si Gou said, "Young Master, why don't we go for a stroll in the streets? We haven't been out for a long time to relax."
Xi Ping suddenly perked up, sat up from the bed, and said while dressing, "Yes, let's go to the streets! Didn't you say there's a beauty at Qunfang Tower? Let's go play with her. Sigh! It's been so long since I've played with a woman, how about it?"
Lei Long and Si Gou both looked hesitant.
Si Gou said, "If Lan Hua finds out, I'm doomed."
"Bi Rou is because I went there last time..." Lei Long was still apprehensive.
Xi Ping interrupted him, saying, "Stop arguing! What are real men afraid of? Whatever happens, I, Huang Xi Ping, will take responsibility. Just say I'm the one going to break through the barrier, and you're just watching. Is that alright? Oh, no! No objections allowed! Today I'm in charge. Anyone who doesn't go isn't a brother."
Lei Long and Si Gou were forced into a corner.
For their brotherhood, they went to hire prostitutes.
"The women here are fucking horny!" This was Xi Ping's first remark upon entering the brothel.
Their appearance caused a stir in the brothel.
The prostitutes, seeing three tall, handsome men, were like bees to honey. Those without customers swarmed towards them, while those with clients followed them intently, making the other customers extremely jealous.
Four Dogs roared menacingly, "Go away, go away! We're here to see Miss Leng Rubing."
"Oh! You damned dog, you're so fickle! You come all this way but don't even look for me. I still can't forget you! Last time you made me feel like I was in heaven, and today I'll give you a free ride!" A somewhat attractive prostitute swayed her hips as she walked towards Four Dogs.
Si Gou was shocked when he saw her and exclaimed, "Xiao Hong!"
Xi Ping and Lei Long stared at Si Gou strangely and said in unison, "Didn't you say you'd never been here before?"
Si Gou blushed and said, "That's why I was afraid to come here."
At this moment, Xiao Hong walked over, took Si Gou's arm with both hands, and leaned on his shoulder, saying in a coquettish voice, "You were so strong the first time, you must be even stronger this time. I'm eager to see your performance in bed!"
Xi Ping exclaimed, "What? She's the one who killed your virginity?"
Si Gou was speechless, but Xiao Hong said, "Handsome man, do you also have a virginity for me to kill?"
Xi Ping thrust the Blazing Sun Knife in front of her face and said, "I'll kill your chicken head! Let go of Si Gou! We have important business to do today, we don't have time to play with you, you stinky bitch!" Xiao Hong
was so frightened that she trembled all over, hurriedly let go of Si Gou, and ran away.
Xi Ping said, "Now that the road is clear, let's go find that slut Leng Rubing."
Lei Long said, "Not yet, we need to announce our arrival first, and then we have to pass three tests here before we can see her."
Xi Ping said, "So troublesome? Damn it!"
"Miss, please announce that Shi Zhusheng, the young master of Hell's Gate, requests an audience with Miss Rubing." A gentle voice came from behind them.
Xi Ping and the other two hurriedly turned around and saw a young man of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old with three attendants who had appeared behind them at some point. The young man was extremely handsome and dashing, with an arrogant air
about him. Xi Ping immediately disliked the young man, thinking he was too arrogant. Si Gou and Lei Long also looked displeased.
After Lei Long explained their purpose to the pimp at the brothel, the pimp went into the room on the left wing, which had a special kind of curtain hanging on it, and came out a short while later.
He said to Lei Long, "Miss Ru Bing wants to know which of the three of you is attempting the challenge?"
Xi Ping retorted angrily, "So long-winded! The three of us are one, one person. It doesn't matter who attempts the challenge. Anyway, all three of us want to see what that woman looks like. How arrogant!" The
pimp hurriedly went back inside.
On a chair in the room sat a veiled woman. Her age and appearance were indiscernible, but it was certain she was a young girl.
Behind her stood seven women—the Seven Butterfly Princesses!
Through specially made curtains and a carefully designed layout, those inside could see outside, but those outside could not see inside.
The veiled girl had been watching what was happening outside and had heard Xi Ping's words. She said angrily, "Yun Die, who is this man?"
The Seven Butterfly Princesses had already recognized Xi Ping and Si Gou, but it was inconvenient for them to go out and meet them. Otherwise, they would have already run out and been very affectionate with them.
Yun Die said, "Princess, these three are from Yuanyang Escort Agency. The one in the middle is Huang Xiping, the one on the left is Si Gou, and the one on the right is Lei Long, the young head of Yuanyang Escort Agency. As far as I know, Huang Xiping doesn't know martial arts, Si Gou's martial arts are mediocre, and I don't know about Lei Long's martial arts."
At this moment, the pimp who came in for the second time walked up to the princess and said, "Miss, they..."
Before he could finish speaking, the princess waved her hand and said, "Allow them to leave!"
The pimp announced, "The challenge begins! The first challenge is for each person to sing a love song for Miss Ru Bing. If Miss Ru Bing likes it, you pass. Young Master Shi, you go first!"
Xiping felt that he should sing first and was about to protest when Si Gou said, "You don't have to be in such a hurry if you want to embarrass yourself."
Shi Zhusheng said to the three people behind him, "Three heroes, play the music."
The three people played the pipa, the xiao, and the qin, and Shi Zhusheng sang along with the music. The melody was beautiful and melodious, and the singing was poignant and beautiful. After the song was finished, some of the prostitutes showed a look of infatuation, and their eyes were filled with tears.
Shi Zhusheng clasped his hands in a fist salute towards the left wing and said, "Miss, I'll make a fool of myself."
This was followed by a burst of applause, except for Xiping, who didn't clap.
He then asked Sigou, "What song is he singing?"
Sigou shook his head helplessly, and Leilong said, "'Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai,' let's not sing it!"
Xi Ping said, "What do you mean, 'don't sing'? I'm the village's boxing champion and singing god. What kind of song is that? It's just childish wailing. Listen to my brother and sister. Si Gou, play the music!"
Si Gou said, "We don't have any props."
Xi Ping tapped him on the head and said, "Are you stupid? Can't you go borrow some?"
Shi Zhusheng took the opportunity to mock, "Want me to lend you some?"
Xi Ping sneered, "Pah! Your rubbish should be thrown into the latrine. Damn, it stinks!"
Si Gou said to the pimp, "Excuse me, could you lend me an iron bucket and an iron plate, and a pair of chopsticks?"
Everyone except Xi Ping and Si Gou, who knew exactly what was going on, was completely baffled—why would they need these things to sing?
Inside the room, the princess asked, "What are they up to?"
Yun Die replied, "I don't know. Those two are just strange, especially Huang Xiping, he's the most perplexing."
The princess said, "It sounds like you know them?"
Yun Die said, "Yes, we had sex with them not long ago."
The princess asked, "You, with those two?" She seemed to disbelieve that Xiping and Si Gou could satisfy these lewd women two against seven.
Yun Die said, "What puzzles us is that after he exhausted the six of us, he was still full of energy, showing no signs of fatigue. When we were with him, we secretly checked his pulse and found no signs of martial arts training. He's a natural-born virile man!"
The princess said, "No wonder you've all settled down lately, you've fallen for him! Hmm, even ignoring his prowess in bed, his appearance is top-notch... but I just hate him."
The Seven Butterfly Princesses thought to themselves, "You've always hated men."
The eight women looked back towards the hall.
Si Gou had already borrowed the props he needed. He walked to an empty table, placed the iron plate upside down on it, and stood the iron bucket upside down on the ground. Holding a chopstick in each hand, he tapped the bottom of the plate on the table, stomped his left foot on the ground, lifted his right foot and placed it on the bottom of the bucket, then stomped hard on the bottom of the bucket with his toes. He then said to Xi Ping, "Barely acceptable."
Suddenly, a burst of laughter erupted in the brothel. Even the princess in the room scolded him as "idiot," but Butterfly Seven Princesses smiled broadly.
Lei Long asked Si Gou, "Si Gou, when did you learn all this?"
Si Gou smiled wryly, "Every time he beat us, he would force us to play music for him so he could sing to celebrate. Over time, every young man in our village knew a thing or two, sigh."
Xi Ping shouted loudly, "Please be quiet, everyone! I appreciate your hospitality, but please don't get excited yet. After I finish singing, please applaud enthusiastically. Si Gou, play the music!" Si Gou
asked, "Which song?"
Xi Ping waved his hand, stepped forward, and said, "'Country Rhapsody: The Kite'!"
Si Gou used his hands and feet to make the iron plate, iron bucket, and table make rhythmic sounds, which did indeed have a musical quality.
The people in the brothel all wore expressions of surprise and disbelief.
Xi Ping was extremely proud. For the first time in his life, he had so many listeners, and they had all come to appreciate his performance voluntarily. He decided to dedicate the music he loved to these rare kindred spirits.
He straightened his chest, coughed twice to clear his throat, and sang loudly: "Butterfly, butterfly, the wind blows, the wind blows, the butterfly flies, flies out of the flowers, flies into the sky, flies into my sister's dream; sister, sister, shy, shy, my sister is so beautiful, beautiful as spring flowers blooming, beautiful enough to make people love, beautiful as a little darling in mother's arms; mother, mother, mother is bad, mother is bad, mother laughs, laughs away tears of longing, laughs at love that lasts for eternity, laughs at that sister who longs for her brother. Longing for her brother, longing for her brother, sister, you are the love of your brother's heart, no matter now or in the future, brother and sister will be together, generation after generation, generation after generation, we will never be separated, never separated."
After Xiping finished singing, Sigou banged his chopsticks a few times, threw them forcefully onto the table, and clapped vigorously.
Xi Ping clapped excitedly, glanced around, and shouted, "Everyone, clap your hands!"
To his surprise, everyone in the hall was either dumbfounded, slumped over, or covered their ears with their glasses. Only
Xi Ping and Si Gou were clapping enthusiastically.
Lei Long frowned and said, "Si Gou, even you're clapping?"
Si Gou clapped and said, "It's a habit. Back then, he not only forced us to play music for him every time, but after he finished singing, he also made us clap and cheer. I can't believe it's been three years and he still hasn't broken the habit. But now, thinking back on those days, it feels sweeter—a carefree childhood! Besides, even if it's not for his singing, just for the music I played, I have to clap. Why would I undermine myself? Come on, clap!"
Lei Long thought to himself, "These two are the same, exactly the same. " Self-righteous, equally lacking in self-awareness, equally shameless. Alas! Hopeless! Truly worthy of being from the same village; it seems everyone in their village shares the same character as these two, making one's scalp crawl.
Xi Ping clapped as he spoke, "Everyone, wake up! Stop being so intoxicated by my beautiful singing, please wake up and clap! Clap your singing god's passionate performance with all your might, come on, clap!"
However, the entire hall was filled only with their continuous clapping, like a long, smelly fart, making people both uncomfortable and amused.
Inside the room, the princess coldly said, "Are these two sick?"
But then she saw Butterfly Seven Princesses already squatting on the ground, laughing uncontrollably.
The pimp entered from outside, and the princess said to him, "His singing is truly awful, and the lyrics contain the sacred words 'butterfly.' You should have them fight and let Shi Zhusheng teach him a lesson."
Yun Die said, "Princess, please don't do that. He doesn't know martial arts and will be injured by Shi Zhusheng."
The princess sneered, "It would be best if such a boring person were beaten to death."
The pimp announced, "Both of you have passed the first test. As for the second test, we were supposed to send someone to fight the challenger, but since there are two sides today, please have yourselves fight to determine the winner. Only the winner can proceed to the third test."
Xi Ping said to Lei Long, "See? My love song has touched that woman's heart. She'll be throwing herself into my arms soon."
Upon hearing this, the princess in the room snorted heavily, her two long, slender eyebrows furrowing. She was clearly so angry at Xi Ping's boastful words that she almost vomited blood. Butterfly Seven Princesses couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "What a troublemaker."
Shi Zhusheng said, "Stop daydreaming! Get past me first before you go back to your pipe dreams!"
Xi Ping laughed, "Fight? You'd better not regret it!"
With that, Xi Ping was about to rush over and fight Shi Zhusheng, but was stopped by Si Gou.
Si Gou shook his head at him, saying, "Let the young master go!"
Lei Long and Shi Zhusheng faced off in the hall.
The princess in the room thought to herself, "Huang Xiping is lucky." The Seven Butterfly Princesses, however, felt a great weight lifted from their hearts, secretly glad that it wasn't that little rascal Huang Xiping who was fighting.
At this moment, the two facing off in the hall underwent a noticeable change.
Lei Long's tall, slender figure stood in the hall, sword in his right hand, his robes fluttering, making him appear even more dashing and composed, smiling as he looked at his opponent.
Shi Zhusheng's handsome face stiffened, his eyes hardening, and his entire body radiating a chilling aura, making the air in the hall instantly cold.
Suddenly, Lei Long soared into the air like a dragon, and Shi Zhusheng also left the ground, shooting towards Lei
Long in mid-air. The two clashed in mid-air, sword shadows filling the sky. With a loud crash, they both landed simultaneously, only half of Lei Long's sword remaining.
Lei Long said dejectedly, "I lost."
Inside the room, the princess said, "I didn't expect Shi Zhusheng's 'Purgatory Sword Technique' to be seven-tenths perfected. No wonder he's one of the Seven Young Masters of the Martial World."
Yun Die said, "Lei Long is also quite good. If he were using a precious sword, he might be able to fight Shi Zhusheng to a draw. Why have we never heard of him in the martial world?"
The princess said, "Yuanyang Escort Agency has always been very low-key, so it's not surprising that we haven't heard of him. However, his 'Wandering Dragon Sword Technique' is indeed good. If he had more combat experience and was using a precious sword, he might have been able to turn the tide."
Yun Die asked, "Princess, how do you know he used the 'Wandering Dragon Sword Technique'?"
The princess coldly replied, "If you don't know, then don't ask!"
After Lei Long's defeat ... Xi Ping complained, "I told you not to be so eager to fight. You and my brother are both good boys, you've never fought before. I told you, fighting and singing are my specialties, but you're trying to steal my business, and in the end, I'm the one who has to step in!"
Si Gou asked curiously, "Young Master has already lost, why are you still going to fight?"
Xi Ping said, "He lost, but I haven't lost yet. That last match doesn't count, I want to fight him again!"
Si Gou said, "Is that okay?"
Xi Ping said with a serious face, "There's nothing wrong with that."
Just then, the pimp loudly announced, "The winner is Shi--"
Xi Ping interrupted him before he could finish, "Wait, I want to fight him again!"
The pimp looked at him and remained silent.
Xi Ping pointed at Shi Zhusheng and said, "Boy, I want to fight you."
Inside the room, the princess said, "You have a path to heaven but you refuse to take it, and you insist on barging into hell when there's no way out."
Butterfly Seven's face changed drastically, thinking to herself, "You wretch, how can you be so ungrateful?" The pimp
came in again, and the princess said to him, "Let them have another match."
The pimp came out to announce, "Miss Ru Bing agrees to let you have another match. If Young Master Huang wins, Miss Ru Bing can consider letting you pass the third test."
Xi Ping was very pleased and said, "Hey, you surnamed Shi, come and get a beating!"
Shi Zhusheng said to the strongest of his three followers, "Renjie, go and experience this young master's skills."
Xi Ping was overjoyed to see that the man was unarmed. He shoved the Blazing Sun True Blade in his hand to Si Gou and said to Renjie, "Come on, let's see who's the best."
When Xi Ping adopted his country bumpkin fighting stance, everyone present burst into laughter, even his opponent Renjie laughed wildly.
Seizing the opportunity, Xi Ping strode forward and threw a punch straight at Ren Jie's face.
Ren Jie calmly parried the punch, then struck Xi Ping's chest with both palms. Xi Ping had no time to dodge and was sent flying.
Two gasps rang out in the hall, and two figures flew towards where Xi Ping had landed.
Inside the room, the princess said, "Under Ren Jie's 'Divine Palm,' even if he doesn't die, he'll only have half a life left."
Butterfly Seven Princesses were already shedding tears.
The princess sneered, "I didn't expect you two to be so sentimental!"
Xi Ping lay on his back, his mouth full of blood. He felt an extreme tightness and pain in his chest, but seeing the concern and sorrow on the faces of the two people in front of him, and even Si Gou shedding tears, he forced a smile through his pain and said, "Help me up, and watch how I defeat him!"
Si Gou said, "Since you insist on fighting, I'll fight for you!"
Xi Ping said, "We've been fighting since we were kids. When have you ever seen me lose so badly? If I don't bring him down, won't I disappoint Da Feng and the others?"
Si Gou said anxiously, "But you..."
Xi Ping patted his shoulder and said, "As long as I can still fight, I will never let you take the risk. After all, my life is much tougher than yours. Now that the three of us brothers are here, we can't go back with our tails between our legs before even seeing the beauty! I will win. When have you ever seen me truly lose? Give me the knife." "Me!"
Lei Long said, "Xi Ping, I'll fight him."
Xi Ping said, "You've already lost, you can't go again! But you can go and tell them to choose someone who wields a weapon. I don't want to bully unarmed people."
Lei Long was shocked and said, "You want to use your lousy sword technique?"
Xi Ping said, "What lousy sword technique? This is your family's ancestral divine skill. Are you going to discredit your ancestors? Stop arguing, do as I say, I need to rest for a while."
Lei Long walked up to Shi Zhusheng and said, "Please send someone who wields a weapon, Young Master Shi. He doesn't want to bully unarmed people."
Ren Jie sneered, "Do you need a weapon to deal with a country bumpkin like him?"
Shi Zhusheng said to a tall, thin follower, "Di Jie, you go and test your skills."
Di Jie walked forward with a long iron rod, looking at Xi Ping, who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, with contempt, as if he were a dead man.
Inside the room, the princess said, "This brat is incredibly stubborn. He withstood a blow from the 'Divine Palm' and didn't die? Now he wants to challenge Di Jie's 'Divine Staff'? I doubt he even has the strength to stand up."
Seven Princesses, who had been laughing through their tears for Xi Ping's survival after taking the blow, burst into tears again upon hearing this.
They truly couldn't understand women; one second they cried, the next they laughed, and then they cried again!
The princess, however, looked at the hall outside with astonishment.
Xi Ping slowly stood up from the ground, facing Di Jie, who casually watched him, holding his iron staff.
Xi Ping drew his Blazing Sun True Blade, holding the scabbard in his left hand at his waist, his right hand gripping the blade and pointing diagonally downwards.
Four Dogs and Thunder Dragon had seen this posture countless times and never noticed anything unusual. Just as they were about to cry foul, Four Dogs suddenly felt that Xi Ping would win. He saw a long-lost smile. In his memory, whenever Xi Ping smiled like this, he was never defeated—something he couldn't understand or explain. This smile was a sinister light emanating from his eyes, seemingly capable of piercing the deepest recesses of one's heart and sending shivers down one's spine.
Di Jie was startled, feeling an invisible force pressing down on him. His heart sank, his expression turned solemn, and he gripped the iron rod tightly in front of his chest.
Xi Ping's tall figure stood in the hall, his handsome face radiating a demonic aura, making the eight women in the hall and room feel as if he were a demon god resurrected.
The Blazing Sun Blade in Xi Ping's hand emitted a red light, like a flickering flame!
Just then, Xi Ping roared and pounced on Di Jie like lightning, his blade flashing with sparks and thunderous roars. But the red light vanished abruptly, and the thunder ceased.
Di Jie sat on the ground, his face pale, staring blankly at Xi Ping. The iron rod had been cleaved into seven or eight pieces as easily as cutting tofu, scattered on the ground.
Xi Ping's Blazing Sun Blade was sheathed.
The entire hall fell silent.
Inside the room, the princess suddenly stood up, then slowly sat back down, letting out a long sigh. She said, "Didn't you say he didn't know martial arts?"
The Seven Princesses were more overjoyed than surprised; in their hearts, as long as Xi Ping was safe, nothing else mattered.
Yun Die said, "We're not quite sure either. Perhaps he had some extraordinary encounter after we parted ways!"
The princess said, "Perhaps he really hasn't practiced anything, but I'm curious why he suddenly became so terrifying, unleashing seven strikes in an instant. Di Jie didn't even have a chance to retaliate before being utterly defeated. I need to reassess him. Although he seems despicable, his strength shouldn't be underestimated."
Shi Zhusheng and his two other subordinates stood frozen in place, as if struck by lightning, neither speaking nor offering to help Di Jie, who had fallen to the ground. Di Jie, too shocked to even stand up, didn't know how.
Shi Zhusheng's mind raced: "This person gives off an unfathomable aura. Even I can't fathom his martial arts and behavior. Why has there never been anyone like him in the martial arts world? I must find a chance to eliminate him later, otherwise he will be a formidable enemy on my path to dominating the martial arts world."
Xi Ping walked up to Si Gou and Lei Long, handed the knife to Si Gou, and said, "I told you, I would never lose, but you didn't believe me. Now you should know how mighty I am!"
Si Gou said, "I knew you would win."
Lei Long said, "What happened to you just now? You seemed like a completely different person, so admirable. No wonder Grandpa appreciated you so much, so that's why—I finally know how invincible my family's ancestral knife skills are! But speaking of which, when we practiced together, you either stood there for ages mimicking someone else's movements, or you just slashed around randomly." "Why is it suddenly unleashing its power now?"
Xi Lai said with a wry smile, "I also want to know why, but unfortunately I don't know."
Si Gou laughed, "Anyway, we can finally see the beauty's face, don't you think?"
Xi Ping said, "That's right, we've worked so hard all day just to see that woman who's a prostitute but still thinks she's high and mighty. If it weren't for the three trials she set up—singing and fighting—which are just my type, I wouldn't have bothered coming."
Si Gou agreed, "That's right, that's right."
Lei Long saw that their old habit had resurfaced and hurriedly said, "There's still the third trial we haven't passed..."
Xi Ping said, "Maybe that woman will drool when she sees us."
Inside the room, the princess said, "These two bastards are talking nonsense, especially that Huang Xi Ping. If he falls into my hands, I'll make him pay!"
Butterfly Seven was startled.
At this moment, the pimp came in again.
The princess ordered, "Let Lei Long and Shi Zhusheng in. No one else is allowed to enter."
After the pimp left, the princess said, "Seventh Princess, you may all leave."
"Why won't we be allowed to go in and see Miss Ru Bing?" Si Gou protested loudly after hearing the pimp's announcement.
The pimp said, "Because only one person from each side can enter, and our young lady prefers Young Master Lei Long among the three of you, so..."
Xi Ping interrupted him, saying, "No need to say anything more. It's her loss if she doesn't see us. She's just a prostitute. What's so interesting about her? I'd find it disgusting to look at her."
I wonder what the princess's expression was when she heard this?
Si Gou shouted, "Yes, yes, yes! That's what I think too. Great minds think alike!"
Lei Long and Shi Zhusheng had already followed the pimp inside.
Xi Ping said, "Si Gou, let's sing again!"
Si Gou shook his head and said, "No, no."
Xi Ping said, "Why not? Didn't we just collaborate perfectly? Look, so many of my fans are here. Do you want me to disappoint them?"
Si Gou still refused, so Xi Ping used both soft and hard tactics to ask Si Gou to collaborate with him on another song. The two argued endlessly about whether to sing or not.
Lei Long and Shi Zhusheng entered the room and were both surprised to find that the woman was wearing a veil—wasn't she supposed to be here to meet him?
After the pimp left, the princess said, "You two may be wondering why I'm wearing a veil. It's because I've been setting up three trials at Qunfang Tower for over a month. Although many people have tried, none have succeeded. I was hoping that one day a peerless hero I admired would personally remove the veil from my face. Unexpectedly, two of them have appeared. Which of you is willing to come and remove my veil?"
Lei Long and Shi Zhusheng looked at each other, but neither of them made a move.
At this moment, the hall erupted in commotion. The pimp rushed in, saying, "Young Master Lei Long, please stop your two accomplices, or all our guests will escape!" Just
as the pimp finished speaking, the sound of chopsticks clattering against an iron plate was heard, and Xi Ping's voice boomed, "Ladies and gentlemen, to thank you for your hospitality, this singing master has decided to dedicate another song, 'Floating Clouds,' to you all!"
Lei Long's face turned as red as Guan Yu's, and he clasped his hands in a fist salute to the princess, saying, "Miss, I must take my leave."
With that, he turned and ran out.
After watching Lei Long run out, the princess said to Shi Zhusheng, "Young Master Shi, I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable from those two rascals outside. Please go back first. If you don't mind, please come tomorrow night to remove this veil for me. I'll be waiting for you in my bedroom."

Chapter Eight: Jealousy

is Hard to Quell. Xi Ping said angrily, "Why are you leaving so quickly? I haven't had my fill yet!"
Lei Long said, "By the time you've had your fill, everyone else will have already passed away."
Si Gou laughed, "Young Master, is that Miss Leng Rubing pretty?"
Lei Long looked helpless and said: "Don't even mention it, seeing her is the same as not seeing her at all."
Si Gou asked curiously, "Why?"
Lei Long said, "She just put a veil over her face, what am I supposed to see?
" Xi Ping said, "Couldn't you just pull the veil off her face?"
Lei Long thought to himself, "Only you would do something like that." But he said aloud, "I was just about to take off her veil when you guys started singing outside. Tell me, how could I not come out?"
Si Gou said awkwardly, "That's right, that's right."
That night, Lei Zhan called Lei Long to his dormitory.
Lei Zhan asked, "I heard you went to cause trouble at the Qunfang Pavilion?"
Lei Long lowered his head and mumbled, "Yes, Grandpa."
Seeing his expression, Lei Zhan laughed, "Don't be afraid. I'm not Bi Rou; I have no interest in your romantic affairs. I just heard that Xi Ping defeated Di Jie, one of the Three Heroes of Hell Gate, so I came to ask you for clarification."
Lei Long nodded excitedly, "Grandpa, he used the 'Thunder Tribulation Divine Blade' to cut Di Jie's iron rod into seven pieces in one go! It was incredibly powerful!"
Lei Zhan asked, "How did he make his move?"
Lei Long replied, "I don't know either. He always uses the same stance when he practices with us; nothing special. But today, when he was knocked down by Ren Jie and got back up, I felt his anger and fighting spirit burst forth, and then I felt a powerful pressure spreading outwards. The blade emitted a red light. In that instant, he swiftly..." He lunged at Di Jie, his knife slashing seven times at the iron rod Di Jie was charging at him.
Lei Zhan, after hearing Lei Long's words, fell into deep thought. Suddenly, as if understanding something, he exclaimed with delight, "Perhaps this is the highest realm of martial arts—overwhelming the opponent with momentum before the battle even begins, striking with the momentum. I once heard your great-grandfather Lei Lie say that this sword technique emphasizes momentum. Now I understand a little. The so-called 'soul of the knife' is the momentum of the knife. When the momentum reaches a certain level, it will automatically unleash invincible knife moves, like the instantaneous explosion of lightning after its formation. The 'spirit of the knife' possesses a heroic power that never returns. It seems that those who use this sword technique must not only possess innate divine strength and an extremely yang physique, but also have very strong explosive power. Most importantly, they must possess a powerful fighting spirit to condense a thunderous momentum in an instant."
Lei Long stood thoughtfully.
Lei Zhan waved at him and said, "Alright, go back to bed and think carefully about how to deal with that little brat Bi Rou tomorrow!"
"Huang Xiping!"
Half-asleep, Xiping heard someone calling his name and murmured, "Who's calling?"
On the other bed, Si Gou quickly dressed and exclaimed happily, "It's my Lan Hua!"
Lan Hua called from outside again, "Huang Xiping, Miss wants to see you."
Xiping had no choice but to get up and slowly dress, while Si Gou had already dashed out.
"Lan Hua, are you looking for me?" Si Gou asked.
Lan Hua rolled her eyes at him, ignored him, and turned to leave, leaving Si Gou standing there in a daze.
When Xi Ping came out and saw Si Gou's appearance, he said, "Is Lan Hua not letting you smell sweet again?"
Si Gou said, "Sigh, I don't know why, Lan Hua, who used to be shy, isn't as cold as she is today. Something must have happened."
Xi Ping laughed and said, "What could it be! That tigress just misses me. Let's go! A man shouldn't keep a woman waiting."
The two of them saw the three women from afar, and Lei Long was standing silently next to Lei Feng.
Xi Ping smiled and said, "Miss, what do you want with me?"
Lei Feng coldly replied, "You know perfectly well."
Xi Ping asked doubtfully, "I know perfectly well? Don't joke around. How would I know what you want me to do? It's not another punishment, is it?"
Lei Feng said, "Stop playing dumb. Where did you go yesterday?"
Xi Ping hadn't expected this question. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Yesterday! We practiced diligently as Grandpa instructed."
Lei Feng sneered, "Did Grandpa tell you to practice at a brothel?"
Xi Ping laughed, "Since you already know, why ask?"
Lei Feng suddenly flew into a rage, "So you really did go! You heartless bastard, I'll kill you!" She drew her sword and held it against Xi Ping's neck, but made no further move.
Xi Ping turned to look at the sword against his neck, then at the trembling Lei Feng, and finally understood what was going on.
This proud beauty had indeed fallen for him and was jealous!
Xi Ping smiled smugly to himself, but then his mind went blank with worry: "Jealous women are capable of anything. Will she really stab me? But things have come to this, I have to take the gamble. If I win, I'll not only live, but I might even win the beauty's heart. If I lose, I'll just die a horrible death."
With that thought, Xi Ping said bitterly, "If you want to kill me, you have to give me a plausible reason!"
Lei Feng retorted angrily, "No reason! I just don't like you, you bastard!"
Xi Ping said, "In that case, do it!" He closed his eyes, displaying a resolute acceptance of death, but silently prayed, "Grandma, please don't listen to me."
Lei Feng uttered "You!" and then heard the sound of a sword falling to the ground. Xi Ping opened his eyes; Lei Feng had already turned and rushed into the room, followed by the other two women.
Xi Ping let out a long sigh of relief. Lei Long and Si Gou also breathed a sigh of relief for him.
"What should we do?" Si Gou paced back and forth, muttering this question incessantly.
Xi Ping and Lei Long lay on the table, looking at each other helplessly.
Lei Long said, "Xi Ping, what should we do now? I already told you not to go to Qunfanglou, and now all three of them are jealous. You don't care, but you've made things difficult for us."
Xi Ping protested, "Who said I don't care?"
Lei Long exclaimed in surprise, "What? Do you care about my sister? Have you fallen in love with her?"
Xi Ping smiled bitterly, "Maybe! My heart is in turmoil."
Lei Long reminded him, "Don't bully your sister!"
Xi Ping glared at him and said, "Go away, who bullied your sister? I genuinely care about her. Don't think you're the only one who's sincere towards Bi Rou. I'm not lying."
Si Gou interjected, "Don't forget..." "I also have boundless love and a sincere heart for Lan Hua. Alas! I'm doomed this time. I finally managed to fall in love with such a woman!"
Lei Long looked at him and said, "Stop pretending to be innocent. Don't you have Xiao Hong?"
Xi Ping also said, "And there's Yu Die, who drives him crazy with her allure."
Si Gou waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you wouldn't understand my pain. Heh, Lan Hua, for you, I'm willing to offer up my virginity."
Xi Ping and Lei Long said in unison, "Who says I don't understand? My heart is in much more pain than yours."
Si Gou said with a mournful face, "Then you two should try to resolve this matter!"
Xi Ping and Lei Long slammed their heads on the table.
Si Gou kept pacing back and forth, muttering, "What to do? What to do? Lan Hua is ignoring me, what to do? My pure first love! Is it all over?"
Xi Ping frowned and said, "I remember when you were fifteen, didn't you fall in love with Dao Cao from the village? What pure first love! Please stop arguing and let me think of a solution in peace."
Si Gou said, "My relationship with Dao Cao was just puppy love. I wasn't mature enough when we were together. We only held hands, we didn't even kiss. Besides, she's Da Feng's wife now. I would rather die than admit that my beautiful first love was Dao Cao. I only have one first love, and that is my lovely Lan Hua!"
Lei Long looked at him in surprise, and together with Xi Ping, they banged their heads on the table, even harder than before!
The room became quiet, with only Si Gou's heavy footsteps echoing hollowly.
Suddenly, Xi Ping looked up and said, "I've got a way."
Si Gou strode towards him, and Lei Long also abruptly lifted his head from the table. They both asked in unison, "What way?"
Xi Ping said, "At this point, we have no choice but to take a risk! Come, I'll teach you a trick." He whispered something in Si Gou's ear, then whispered a few more words in Lei Long's ear.
What method was he talking about?
