Rebirth of a Stunning Beauty (Complete) - 1

~Chapter One: The Third Young Master's Shamelessness~
Section One

: "Fuck your mother!" Li Gang lay on the ground, his body steaming. Even though he wasn't usually bad-tempered, he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

He thought bitterly, "I was just walking down the street, why was I struck by lightning? Damn it, if anyone should be struck, it should be that robber who rushed out of the mall and slashed two pedestrians with a knife! Twenty-three years old, never even been in a relationship, never even tasted a woman's flavor, and now I'm dead like this! I'm not reconciled!"

Li Gang's heartbeat slowed, the pain in his body gradually disappearing, replaced by a feeling of ethereal bliss, as if his soul was about to float away from his body.

"Fuck your mother!" Li Gang cursed again inwardly.

The nurse kneeling before him, performing the artificial heart pacing, shook her head. "It's hopeless, his heart is about to stop." She then put her ear to Li Gang's mouth and asked, "Do you have any last words?"

With his last strength, Li Gang barely managed to move his lips and said, "I think... I can... try to save him a little longer..."

His head lolled to the side, his legs kicked, and everything went black; he breathed his last.

※ ※ ※ ※

"Li Gang!"

Li Gang stepped forward, his brows furrowed in anger as he glared at the judge on the platform, his fists clenched as he awaited his fate.

"Your lifespan isn't over, you can't be reincarnated..." the dark-faced judge said, shaking his head and tapping his laptop.

"Then why did you strike me with lightning?" Li Gang roared, his face flushed.

"Uh, today when the Thunder God was punishing evildoers in the mortal realm, he accidentally missed his target... He had his birthday last night and drank a little too much. Um, he asked me to apologize to you on his behalf."

Li Gang was speechless. What kind of excuse was that? A god accidentally hitting an innocent person and an apology was all it took?

"Here's the thing, because your lifespan hasn't ended, you can't be reincarnated in this world, and the underworld can't take you in either. Your body has also been damaged by lightning, so you can't return to life. Now we'll give you two choices: First, become a wandering ghost and reincarnate when your lifespan ends; second, go to another world to be reincarnated and start a new life. Which one do you choose?"

Li Gang thought for a moment and asked, "How many years do I have left to live?"

"Uh, you're twenty-three years old this year. According to the Book of Life and Death, your lifespan should be one hundred and fifty years. Hmm, congratulations, you're a long-lived star! Your lifespan will end in another one hundred and twenty-seven years."

"I @#$%&..." Li Gang was completely speechless. One hundred and fifty years of lifespan, dying at twenty-three because a god drank too much? What the hell is there to congratulate? He should be crying.

Tie Ling'er smiled, "Qin Ren, lover, how could you even think of that!"

Qin Xiaoyao laughed heartily, "Madam, I was once the most handsome young swordsman in Jiangnan, and you are the most beautiful martial arts woman in Jiangbei, so naturally our sons are both incredibly handsome. Hmm, the little thing will become the dream lover of countless martial arts heroines in the future, which is quite wonderful!"

Tie Ling'er spat, a blush rising on her pale face, "You're such a grown man, yet you still speak like a child, so unrestrained. If word gets out, you, the leader of the righteous path, will lose all face."

Qin Xiaoyao smiled without saying a word, only continuing to tease the incessantly crying little thing, kissing it repeatedly on its face and body.

The baby's little hands and feet kicked and twitched, its cries loud and rhythmic. If anyone could understand a baby's cries, they would surely hear that the little thing was yelling, "Don't kiss me like that! You're getting my saliva all over me, disgusting!"

Needless to say, this little thing was naturally the reincarnation of Li Gang. However, he's no longer called Li Gang, but Qin Ren.

※ ※ ※ ※

The little one was different from others from a young age.

When a baby turns one year old, a grand banquet is held, and a table is specially set up for the crawling infant, with items like swords, books, and so on. The baby is then placed on the table and allowed to choose what they like. It's said that this reveals the baby's future, a custom known as "Zhuazhou" (抓周).

Little Qin Ren naturally had to participate in Zhuazhou. Under everyone's watchful eyes, little Qin Ren excitedly crawled to a wooden fish and picked it up with his chubby little hands.

Instantly, the entire room fell silent. Qin Xiaoyao and Tie Ling'er exchanged a glance, both seeing fear in each other's eyes. "My little one, will he grow up to be a monk?" Qin Xiaoyao thought to himself.

"Your father gave you the name Qin Ren, yet the little one has already seen through the vanities of the world so early," Tie Ling'er thought sadly.

Who knew that after stroking the wooden fish a couple of times and taking a couple of bites, Qin Ren threw it away, made a few babbling noises, and then pounced into the arms of a beautiful female guest next to the table, burying his little head in her large breasts and rubbing them incessantly.

The female guest, holding little Qin Ren, said with a grin, "Young Master Qin wants to nurse, but Auntie doesn't have any milk. Go to Mommy's!"

The whole room burst into laughter. Qin Xiaoyao felt a huge weight lifted from his heart, thinking, "So he's hungry and wants to nurse. He probably mistook the wooden fish for his mother's milk."

Tie Ling'er picked up little Qin Ren and went into the inner room, coaxing him with a smile, "Good boy, Mommy will feed you now."

"Sure enough, babies are all nearsighted!" Qin Ren thought angrily as he suckled at his mother's nipple, "Mistaking the wooden fish for big boobs, how embarrassing! But you guys were too quick! I just touched those big boobs, and after only a few touches, you took me away. How frustrating!"

The second

period passed quickly, and little Qin Ren was already three years old.

After worshipping the ancestors that day, Qin Xiaoyao called his eldest son Qin Feng and second son Qin Lei to the hall, brewed a cup of tea, and prepared to begin his annual lecture. Tie Ling'er sat beside Qin Xiaoyao, holding Qin Ren in her arms, smiling as she looked at her two sons.

"Qin Feng, what do you want to be when you grow up?" Qin Xiaoyao asked his eight-year-old eldest son with a

stern expression. "I want to be a great hero, upholding justice!" Qin Feng, who had been practicing martial arts for three years, said in a resounding voice.

Qin Xiaoyao nodded in satisfaction. "Hmm, not bad, ambitious. Here, I'll reward you with the Crescent Moon Seven Star Sword that I used when I was young and wandering the martial world."

Qin Feng happily accepted the Crescent Moon Seven Star Sword, one of the seven great weapons of the martial world.

"Qin Lei, what do you want to be when you grow up?" Qin Xiaoyao then asked his second son, Qin Lei.

"I also want to be a great hero, helping the weak and punishing the strong!" Qin Lei, who had only been practicing martial arts for a year, said in a booming voice.

"Hmm, very good. Here, I'll reward you with the Thunderclap Blade that I used after I became famous."

Little Qin Lei struggled to hold the Thunderclap Blade, another of the seven great weapons of the martial world, which was three inches taller than him, his little face flushed red.

Little Qin Ren, who was sucking his fingers, looked at his two older brothers, whose eyes were shining with joy, and said in a childish voice with a hint of disdain, "You're so happy just because you got two broken swords? You're so pathetic. When I grow up, I'm going to be a womanizer and seduce all the beauties in the world."

Qin Feng and Qin Lei looked at their third brother as if he were a monster. Tie Ling'er also looked at the little brat in her arms with surprise. Qin Xiaoyao, however, slapped his thigh excitedly and said loudly, "Good, you have the style of your father back in the day! I will pass on to you the long-lost 'Burning Desire' true qi and the 'Turning Clouds and Rain Divine Skill'!"

Tie Ling'er smiled gently and said softly to Qin Xiaoyao, "Xiaoyao, you were quite the ladies' man back then!"

Qin Xiaoyao's face changed drastically. He laughed awkwardly, "Ling'er, I wasn't like that, I hadn't met you yet. Since we got married, I've already... Hehe, the weather today, hahaha..."

Little Qin Ren yawned and muttered, "Henpecked, a real man has three wives and four concubines, it's normal..." He then snuggled into his mother's arms and fell asleep.

Qin Xiaoyao and Tie Ling'er exchanged glances.

Tie Ling'er smiled faintly, but gritted her teeth and said, "What a fine son you've raised!"

Qin Xiaoyao cried out in protest, "It's really not my fault, my son is with you all the time!"

※ ※ ※ ※

When Qin Ren was five years old, he officially began learning the family's martial arts.

Qin Xiaoyao was a martial arts genius, proficient in all eighteen martial arts styles. His most powerful martial art was his palm strike; his "Heaven-Covering Hand" was unmatched in the martial arts world except for his brother-in-law, Tie Kongshan.

Qin Xiaoyao's three sons were also all promising martial arts talents. Qin Feng liked to use a sword, so Qin Xiaoyao taught him the "Star River Sword Technique," combined with the "Great Heavenly River True Qi." Qin Lei loved using a knife, so Qin Xiaoyao taught him the "Raging Lightning and Thunder Blade Technique," paired with "Lightning and Thunder True Qi." Qin Ren, however, only excelled in lightness skills and showed little interest in other martial arts. Left with no other choice, Qin Xiaoyao taught him the "Free and Easy Wind Riding Technique," hailed as the best lightness skill in the world.

Strangely enough, Qin Ren was only half-baked in other martial arts, but he learned the Free and Easy Wind Riding Technique with great enthusiasm. In less than two years, his lightness skills were already excellent; by the age of seven, he could leap across rooftops and pass through walls and houses with ease.

In the year 790 of the Great Qin Calendar, Qin Ren was seven years old. On this day, after the ancestral worship ceremony, Qin Xiaoyao, as usual, summoned his three sons to the hall and began his address. Tie Ling'er brewed Qin Xiaoyao a cup of fine tea. Qin Xiaoyao sipped the tea for a while

, nodding his head, and then asked, "Qin Feng, why do you practice martial arts?" Twelve-year-old Qin Feng had already achieved some success in swordsmanship and internal energy cultivation. He was exceptionally handsome and dashing, possessing the potential of a refined young man. Upon hearing his father's question, Qin Feng immediately straightened his back and said passionately, "To uphold justice and help the weak!"

Qin Xiaoyao nodded with satisfaction, "Hmm, not bad. My son should have such ambition. Here, this is a 'Heavenly Spirit Pill' refined from a thousand-year-old snow lotus from Helian Snow Mountain. It can increase internal strength by thirty years. It's a reward for you."

Qin Feng accepted his father's gift with profuse thanks.

Qin Xiaoyao then asked his second son, "Qin Lei, why do you practice martial arts?"

Qin Lei, already ten years old and remarkably robust, a head taller than his elder brother, replied in a thunderous voice, "To uphold justice and punish evil!"

Qin Xiaoyao nodded approvingly, saying, "Good, good child, worthy of being my son. Here, this is a 'Blood Spirit Pill' made from the thousand-year-old Blood Orchid of Changbai Mountain. Taking one will increase your internal strength by thirty years. It's a reward for you."

Qin Lei happily accepted the reward with gratitude.

Qin Xiaoyao looked at Qin Ren nervously, secretly glancing at his wife. He coughed and asked, "Qin Ren, why do you practice martial arts?"

Qin Ren replied without hesitation, "To make it easier to leap over walls and pick flowers while spying..."

Qin Xiaoyao was overjoyed. Overjoyed, he slammed his hand on the table, the force of his palm causing the teacup to spill. He laughed loudly, "Good, good son! This is the style my son, Qin Xiaoyao's son, should have! Here, this is the 'Great Vajra Pill' that everyone in the martial arts world dreams of. It is made from three peerless divine medicines: Dragon Pool Grass from Longyuan in the Northwest, Tiger Whip Fruit from Tiger Roar Gorge in the Southwest, and Five Spirits Ginseng from Lingtai Mountain. Taking one pill will not only increase your internal energy by sixty years, but also make you indestructible, indestructible, and like a golden spear..."

"Hmph..." A cold snort rang out, and Qin Xiaoyao felt as if he had been electrocuted. His face changed drastically, and his excited expression vanished without a trace. He looked timidly at Tie Ling'er, who had a faint smile on her lips, and said with great guilt, "I... I just had to give away all the pills I got, right? It would be a huge loss if they expired..."

Tie Ling'er smiled sweetly, squeezing out her voice coldly through her teeth: "Xiaoyao, you're willing to give these 'Great Vajra Pills' to your sons! There were three, weren't there? Why did you only give them to Aren and not Afeng and Alei? Isn't that too biased towards your sons?"

Qin Xiaoyao mumbled softly, "Didn't I use the other two myself? Otherwise, where did my two hundred years of internal energy come from? You can't possibly have three vigorous sons in seven years!"

"Arguing again, you're already in your forties, and you're henpecked..." Little Qin Ren rolled his eyes, walked up to Qin Xiaoyao, snatched the Great Vajra Pill from his father's hand, and turned to walk out the door. "I'm going to practice. Grandpa, the 'Heaven-Covering Hand' you taught me is pretty good. I can already shatter a tile with one punch..."

The third section

describes Qin Ren's arduous practice of lightness skills.

He tied sandbags filled with iron sand to his legs.

In his previous life, he was a diligent person. He studied hard, progressing smoothly from elementary school to middle school, high school, and finally university.

Unfortunately, he ended up studying philosophy, a niche major in his previous life, and still a niche major in this world.

Qin Ren envied those who studied metallurgy, chemistry, or physics and were struck by lightning and sent directly to another world. Some lucky ones could even drive a truck loaded with machine guns back to ancient times.

Even studying medicine would be better; at least in this world, one could become a peerless doctor.

Philosophers are often secretly passionate, preferring thought to action and indulging in fantasies to satisfy their physical needs.

Take Qin Ren's past life, Li Gang, for example. He idolized Ximen Qing and Ouyang Ke, dreaming of one day being as handsome, wealthy, and surrounded by beautiful women as they were.

Therefore, when Qin Ren realized the uselessness of philosophy and the prestige of his family and martial arts skills in this life, he completely abandoned his philosopher's fantasies and decided to combine theory with practice, setting lofty goals. He wanted to be a womanizer—a shocking, unprecedented womanizer.

To be a womanizer, one first needed handsome looks and a superb physique, but Qin Ren didn't need to worry about that. The excellent genes of Qin Xiaoyao and Tie Ling'er had all been passed down to their three sons; each brother was more handsome and had better physiques than the last, with Qin Ren being the most handsome and best-built of the three.

A womanizer also needed money, but Qin Ren didn't need to worry about that either. Xiaoyao Manor is a leading righteous sect in Jiangnan, with numerous disciples and businesses spanning the north and south of the country. Qin Ren's maternal uncle, Tie Kongshan, is incredibly wealthy, making Qin Ren destined for immense riches from birth.

A flower thief must possess unparalleled lightness skills, which can be used for showing off and winning the hearts of beauties, as well as for scaling walls and stealing women. Even if caught in the act, escape is easy.

The most crucial element for a flower thief is proficiency in drugs—sedatives, aphrodisiacs, sleeping pills, and love potions must all be mastered. This isn't a major problem; Xiaoyao Manor has a vast supply of medicines, and Qin Shou, who manages the pharmacy, is highly skilled in preparing and using them. Qin Ren often seeks his advice during his free time.

Don't assume that the leader of the righteous sects wouldn't have these things. In the Qin Empire, the so-called righteous sects refer to those who do business, pay taxes to the government, occasionally kill bandits and bullies, and intervene in injustices; the underworld refers to those who evade taxes, smuggle, force women into prostitution, and profit at the expense of others.

The righteous sects also run brothels and casinos, but they pay taxes to the government every month without fail. Qin Ren ran for

his

life. He ran in the Xiaoyao Manor, he climbed the manor walls, he ran around the manor's courtyards, he ran through the towering peaks of Lingyun Mountain.

Time flew by as he ran, and the little boy gradually grew up.

The iron sand was replaced with iron blocks, the sandbags increased to ten, his legs became stronger and stronger, and his physique became more and more handsome.

With physical strength and internal energy trained simultaneously, his lightness skill improved by leaps and bounds.

The iron blocks were replaced with lead weights, and he carried five hundred pounds of lead weights, leaping through the mountains, racing against monkeys to cross them.

He leaped from a ten-zhang-high cliff, carrying a 500-jin lead weight, and after removing it, he could leap to a forty-zhang-high cliff.

When using his lightness skill, he paid meticulous attention to his appearance, even growing long, flowing hair that danced in the wind but remained perfectly neat afterward.

He loved wearing a sapphire-blue silk robe with extremely loose sleeves, which billowed as he flew, giving him an air of soaring through the air.

All for the sake of looking cool! Lightness skill was an elegant and stylish martial art, created for anyone aspiring to be impressive.

Qin Ren disdained any weapons. As a philosopher from his previous life, he believed the best weapon was his body.

And the best weapon to conquer women was also his body; the body was the foundation of everything. No matter how high one's martial arts skills, impotence was utterly useless.
Therefore, he diligently practiced the "Burning Desire" true qi and the "Turning Clouds and Overturning Rain" divine skill.

Qin Ren's childhood was far from colorful. The Qin family rules were extremely strict; no one was allowed to leave the mountain without permission before the age of fifteen. Therefore, Qin Ren rarely saw women growing up.

This flower thief's childhood was spent among monks, with martial arts training becoming his entire life. He constantly ran, jumped, and flew, yearning to one day soar like a roc, traversing thousands of miles.

Time flew by. His eldest brother, Qin Feng, left the mountain at fifteen, and six months later, the name of the Star River Sword Saint resounded throughout the martial world.

A few years later, his second brother, Qin Lei, also left, and six months later, the Mad Thunder Blade God became famous throughout the land.

After his two brothers left, Qin Ren felt an unprecedented loneliness. Although the Xiaoyao Manor was large, he couldn't find anyone to confide in.

There are many things you can't tell adults. Adults won't believe that a car made of iron with tires can run faster than a thoroughbred horse, nor will they believe that an airplane made of iron can fly higher than a roc, let alone that telephones and cell phones can transmit messages over thousands of miles, far more powerful than telepathy.

The eldest and second eldest brothers didn't believe it either, but they were once children themselves, and they were very interested in the novel things their third brother told them. Although they listened as stories, they were still engrossed.

Now, the eldest and second eldest brothers have become a sword saint and a knife god, respectively, while the third young master is still dreaming of being a flower thief, practicing his lightness skill diligently in the wind and snow and under the scorching sun.

※ ※ ※ ※

On the seventh day of the third month of the 798th year of the Great Qin calendar, Qin Ren got up early, dressed, and stood in front of the bronze mirror, examining himself for a long time.

The boy in the bronze mirror was a full 1.82 meters tall, with long flowing hair, sword-like eyebrows, and bright eyes, a lazy smile on his lips.

Qin Ren sighed deeply, "I'm finally fifteen! So handsome at fifteen, who in the world can rival me? Ah, so lonely..." Qin Ren shook his head, muttering to himself, his face full of dejection.

"If being rich is a mistake, I'd rather be that mistake to the end. If being handsome is a sin, I'd rather be the most heinous. The martial world, the world of martial arts, all the beauties of the land, your lover is coming! Spread your legs and prepare to welcome me!" Qin Ren stepped outside the house, letting out a long howl.

The servants sweeping the courtyard stared in disbelief at their third young master. They noticed that today, he exuded an indescribable aura.

An aura that filled them with immense inferiority, immense admiration, and immense respect—an aura that declared, "Who else in the world is more handsome than me?"

This was the legendary aura of a handsome man!

All the servants understood that the third young master's ten years of honing his shamelessness was finally about to be unleashed!

For a moment, all the servants in the courtyard fell silent, silently mourning for all the beauties of the world. They all knew, of course, the Third Young Master's countless pronouncements of his grand ambition—to become a womanizer and seduce all the beauties in the world!

Section Four

: "Father, Mother, your son is going down the mountain." Qin Ren stood in the hall, looking at his parents, who sat comfortably in their armchairs.

"Hmm," Qin Xiaoyao nodded, saying, "Should we have a birthday banquet before you leave? I'll also have my fellow martial artists spread the word that you've officially entered the martial world; that way, things will be easier for you later."

Qin Ren shook his head: "No need, your son can't wait any longer. As for my journey through the martial world, there's no need for anyone in the martial world to know. Anyway, I don't plan to do anything spectacular."

This was the truth; Qin Ren intended to become a womanizer, and it was best to keep a low profile.

"Then should we send the three great killing gods, the four great guardian kings, the five wandering men, the five elemental flags, the seven-star sword saint, the eight gate gods, the nine star lords, the twelve rakshasa, the thirteen bodyguards, the eighteen arhats, the thirty-six heavenly generals, and the seventy-two earthly fiends from the manor to accompany me?"

"Grandpa, I'm here to roam the martial world, not to seize territory and engage in gang warfare. Do I really need a hundred or two men?"

Qin Xiaoyao took a sip of tea and said, "Aren, since you've made your decision, I won't say anything more. Every man in the Qin family is a true hero.

When you go into the martial world, you need to be mindful of your actions! In the martial world, fighting and killing are inevitable. Isn't the martial world just a place where you stab me and I stab you? If you encounter an enemy you can't handle, go find your two older brothers. They have a great reputation now, and their martial arts skills are undeniable. People in the martial world have to give them some face. If your brothers can't handle it, go find your eldest uncle. If even your eldest uncle can't handle it, then come back." There's nothing shameful about coming to me.

Besides, the most important thing in the martial world is money. Martial artists brave wind and rain, living a life of constant danger, all for the sake of wealth. Here, I have one million taels of silver notes and one hundred thousand taels of gold notes, redeemable nationwide. Carry them for self-defense.

Also, this is the "Indestructible Golden Silk Armor" worn by the immortal monk Master Long. It's soft, warm in winter and cool in summer, impervious to swords and spears, and unaffected by water and fire. Wearing it, you'll be unharmed unless struck at full power by a master with over a century of internal energy.

And this is the "Nine Heavens Evil-Repelling Pill." After taking it, you'll be immune to all poisons. Take it, and you won't have to worry about being... Someone has poisoned me. This one is a 'Resurrection Pill,' haha, although it can't truly bring the dead back to life, as long as there's still a breath left, it can definitely save a life.

Also, this folding fan was once used by the most dashing and romantic figure in the world, Young Master Liu Suifeng. Although not as powerful as the Seven Divine Weapons of the World, it's still a rare and powerful weapon. The fan bears Young Master Liu Suifeng's own paintings, inscriptions, signature, and seal—a rare treasure of calligraphy! The fan surface is woven from a blend of celestial silkworm and ice silkworm silk, impervious to swords and spears, and unaffected by water and fire; the fan ribs are forged from thousand-year-old cold iron from the Dragon Abyss of the North Sea, capable of cutting through iron like mud. It's lightweight, stylish, and can even cool you down in hot weather. Young Master Liu Suifeng... That year, he captivated countless beautiful girls with just this fan and his unparalleled lightness skill. You'll find it incredibly useful for pursuing girls.

Also, this belt is the Hun Tian Ling once used by the most beautiful woman in the world, the Fairy of Izumo. It's woven from a blend of four types of silkworms: Heavenly Silkworm, Ice Silkworm, Fire Silkworm, and Thunder Silkworm. Not only is it incredibly strong, but it's also extremely elastic. You can use it to bind people, strangle them, or even swing them around—its uses are incredibly wide! If your internal energy is sufficient, you can even twist the cloth into a stick or wield it like a sword, absolutely capable of cutting through iron like mud. It's also very convenient to carry around, so you'd better take good care of it…”

Qin Ren looked at the mountain of items piled on the table, feeling overwhelmed. He groaned and asked, “Is this all?”

"Yes, it'll be soon. Don't be so impatient. Traveling the martial world isn't easy. Back then, when your eldest and second brothers went down the mountain, their luggage filled two whole carriages! I know you're free-spirited and don't like too many restrictions, but you still need to bring all the essentials for traveling the martial world. Where were we? Well, this robe is the invisibility robe worn by Zhong Botong, the number one lecher in the world. This robe is impervious to swords and spears, water, and can automatically adjust its shape according to the surrounding environment." Color makes one blend into their surroundings extremely quickly, and is incredibly effective at concealing oneself. It's an essential tool for ambushes, sneak attacks, and peeping.

Here's also a bag of 108 exquisitely crafted 'Thunder God Thunder Bombs' from the South China Sea Thunderbolt Sect. Each bomb can destroy everything within a ten-foot radius; even the most skilled martial artist would be severely injured if hit. "

Hmm, these are three pairs of boots, three pairs of insoles, three pairs of socks, two sets of underwear, and two sets of outerwear that your mother personally sewed for you. That's all."

"Do the things my mother sewed for me have any special properties?" Qin Ren asked cautiously.

"Of course," Qin Xiaoyao said solemnly, "It contains the blood that seeped from your mother's pricked finger, and the all-encompassing care she gave to her wandering son throughout her sleepless night. Aren, your father can give you invincible protective magic and profound martial arts, but what your mother gave you was the boundless love that all loving mothers possess. Tell me, isn't that a special attribute?"

Qin Ren's heart warmed, his throat tightened, and he knelt on the ground, kowtowing three times with a loud thud, saying, "Father, Mother, your unfilial son cannot stay by your side. Please rest assured, your son will definitely come home often to visit, and your son will definitely find you several beautiful daughters-in-law and several adorable grandchildren." Although the manor is quiet, I believe it will soon become lively. At that time, the thirty-three empty rooms in the east courtyard will be filled with your daughters-in-law, and you two will no longer have to worry about the houses being vacant! Please, under no circumstances, do you rent out the houses. Also, please help me build a large bed that is twenty feet long and ten feet wide. I'm afraid that in the future, the beds at home won't be able to accommodate so many people..."

At first, Qin Xiaoyao and his wife were quite moved, but the more they listened, the more something seemed amiss. Qin Xiaoyao quickly interrupted Qin Ren. At this moment, Qin Ren had already planned ahead for the twenty-seven superior rooms in the south courtyard, and if Qin Xiaoyao hadn't interrupted him, there was a tendency for further development. Qin Xiaoyao said, "Ah Ren, you must remember, our Qin family is the leader of the righteous path in Jiangnan. We can't afford to do such reckless things! If you want to pursue a girl, you have to rely on your own abilities to make her willingly submit to you. You can't use underhanded methods to force a respectable woman!"

Qin Ren scoffed, "Do I, Qin Ren, need to force a girl? With my character, martial arts skills, and family background, wouldn't it be enough for me to just snap my fingers and have girls crying and begging to come running to me? Old man, I heard you were quite powerful in your youth, able to casually snap your fingers and have girls pounce on you for your pleasure. Is that true?"

"Pfft..." Qin Xiaoyao spat out a mouthful of tea, glancing awkwardly at the smiling Tie Ling'er, a chill running down his spine. Based on his experience, the sweeter and more gentle Tie Ling'er's smile, the more unpleasant the fruit she was about to offer. "Don't talk nonsense, your old man is a gentleman, well, a gentleman..."

"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm in a hurry. I want to get to the provincial capital of Yunnan tonight. That's all, I'm leaving!" With that, Qin Ren bid farewell to his parents, wearing his indestructible golden silk armor, a robe made by his mother, a sash around his waist, and carrying a large bundle, he left the manor where he had lived for fifteen years.

Besides the various medicines his father had given him, he also carried more than ten bottles of famous aphrodisiacs and sleeping pills. For a womanizer, the most important thing when traveling the world is actually the word "medicine"!

~Chapter Two: The Story of Seizing Beauty~

Section One:

Qin Ren walked down the mountain path, feeling full of ambition. From now on, the sky would be the limit, the sea would be the limit. For the third young master of the Qin family, venturing into the world would be as easy as strolling in his own backyard.

In the warm spring of March, the grass grew tall and the eagles were fat, with white clouds dotting the blue sky. The scenery of Lingyun Mountain was delightful. In Qin Ren's eyes, now free, even the flowers seemed to be full of affection, and the wind seemed to be smiling. The air was filled with fragrance, and the world seemed like a naked beauty, exuding an alluring scent.

Qin Ren, aroused, imagined all the beauties in the world stripped naked, smiling seductively, their legs spread wide, waiting for him. He couldn't help but be seized by a sudden surge of inspiration and began to sing a song from his past life: "You, you who fell from the sky, landed on my bed~~ Your lewd appearance, your captivating gaze, your lewd laughter made my heart flutter… That year, you told me that riding 'Li Xiang' was wonderful~~~~ Men should never regret chasing women~~ The cold wind blows, but it can't extinguish the burning desire…"

He howled all the way down the mountain, and Qin Ren's stomach began to rumble with hunger. At the foot of Lingyun Mountain, there was an official road, and beside it was a small teahouse. Looking into the distance, he could see several traveling merchants sitting in the teahouse, drinking cold tea and munching on flatbread.

Qin Ren, raised in luxury, was completely unsuitable for the life of a commoner, sitting in a teahouse, drinking cold tea and eating flatbread. Reluctantly, he rummaged through his pockets and pulled out the "Nine Heavens Evil-Repelling Pill" and the "Resurrection Pill" his father had given him. He popped the two pills into his mouth, chewed them briefly, and swallowed them with his saliva.

Having grown accustomed to precious pills and thus possessing a hundred years of profound internal energy, Qin Ren knew that valuable pills were not only delicious but also very filling; one pill could keep him from eating for two or three days. Now, with both pills in his stomach, two warm currents immediately rose from his abdomen, instantly flowing throughout his body. Qin Ren felt refreshed and let out two loud burps, muttering to himself, "Hmm, not bad, very full. At least three days without food."

If Qin Xiaoyao knew that Qin Ren had eaten the life-saving "Resurrection Pill" like a snack, he would definitely be furious.

The "Nine Heavens Evil-Repelling Pill," which wards off all poisons, is best taken as soon as possible, but there are only three "Resurrection Pills" in the world. Qin Xiaoyao gave each of his three sons one before they passed away. Qin Feng and Qin Lei kept them safe, after all, they were their second life. But Qin Ren didn't care about anything else, only caring about immediate pleasure, and casually ate the life-saving pill. He was truly unique. Qin

Ren walked slowly along the official road. Seeing that it was still early, he wasn't in a hurry to reach the provincial capital, and strolled along, enjoying the scenery. When scions of noble families went out, which one wasn't surrounded by a large entourage, riding in a luxurious carriage, surrounded by beauties, and accompanied by a large group of followers? Only Qin Ren not only didn't have any followers, didn't ride in a carriage, and didn't even bother to lead a horse. The reason was that he thought riding a horse was too troublesome. He had to feed the horse and always be on guard against being robbed by江湖 (jianghu) thieves. Besides, how many horses in the world could be faster than Qin Ren? His own two legs were more reliable.

Gazing at the beautiful scenery, Qin Ren, humming a tune out of boredom, pulled out the "Thunder God Thunder Bomb" his father had given him. He thought to himself that his grandfather had said this tiny bullet could destroy everything within a ten-foot radius, and wondered if it was true. He then threw one with his half-baked throwing skills, landing it by the roadside.

Watching the bullet disappear into the roadside grass, Qin Ren quickly moved away. Despite being prepared, the deafening explosion still startled him. He watched as a miniature mushroom cloud rose from the grass, and after it dissipated, a circular crater ten feet in diameter and three feet deep appeared. He muttered to himself, "Damn it, I didn't expect this little thing to be so powerful, even more powerful than a grenade..."

Children always want to play with new and exciting gadgets to their heart's content. With cotton balls stuffed in his ears, Qin Ren carried the bag of Thunder God Thunder Bombs, throwing them as he walked.

Loud explosions echoed intermittently along both sides of the official road, sending tiny mushroom clouds soaring into the sky. Qin Ren hummed a song, sometimes throwing two, sometimes three, sometimes a handful, diligently practicing his concealed weapon techniques. Deep craters were blasted into the roadside, leaving nothing but barren ground where the bullets exploded.

After a while, Qin Ren felt that throwing them to the roadside wasn't exciting enough, so he grabbed a handful of about seven bullets and hurled them forcefully onto the road ahead.

A spectacular scene unfolded: seven projectiles struck the ground simultaneously, seven explosions merging into a deafening roar that made Qin Ren's ears ring. Seven miniature mushroom clouds rose into the air, coalescing into a vast plume of black smoke, like a black dragon ascending into the sky. A strong gust of wind swept over him, whipping his robes and whipping his long hair wildly.

When the smoke cleared, that section of the official road was completely destroyed. Qin Ren looked at the enormous crater about seventy feet in diameter in the road, nodded, and said, "That's more interesting."

He then strode forward, continuously throwing Thunder God Thunderballs into the road, using his lightness skill to leap over the crater he reached. Sometimes, Qin Ren would leap into the air, throwing projectiles in the most stylish way, then using the strong winds and shockwaves from the explosions to gracefully somersault in the air, the thrill of which made him feel like he was floating on air.

In the midst of his excitement, he unknowingly blasted all 108 Thunder God Bombs, leaving dozens of deep craters in the wide, smooth official road—a truly gruesome sight.

Qin Ren touched his now empty pockets, pursed his lips, and said, "The old man is too stingy. Hmm, I'll ask for more during the New Year; setting them off as firecrackers would be quite fun." He casually tossed the empty bag aside and strode towards the provincial capital.

At dusk, Qin Ren finally arrived at Wuyun City, the provincial capital of Yunnan Province.

Although Wuyun City was the provincial capital, its public order was extremely chaotic. After entering the city, Qin Ren saw that everyone was hurrying along, and almost everyone was carrying a weapon.

As Qin Ren walked, he observed the situation in Wuyun City. The streets were wide; the main street could accommodate three luxurious carriages side by side. There were many people, but few seemed to be benevolent.

The street was in chaos. Inside a blacksmith's shop, two burly men, seemingly wanting to buy knives, were haggling with the shopkeeper. Apparently annoyed by the shopkeeper's fuss, one of the men grabbed a knife and cleaved the shopkeeper in two, then carried all the knives in the shop away.

From a tavern, the sounds of fighting, cheers, and gasps of surprise emanated from the roof. People were constantly falling from the upper floors, lying motionless on the street covered in blood.

In the middle of the street, two martial arts masters were preparing for a duel. They had been standing face to face for almost half an hour without making a move. However, the onlookers, for some unknown reason, started arguing and fighting first. Two died and three were injured, while the rest put away their weapons and continued watching.

Two men in black were using their lightness skills to run wildly across the rooftops. One was chasing and the other was fleeing. The fleeing man released countless hidden weapons, while the chasing man used his knife to deflect them. The flying weapons accidentally injured many passersby. Those who were not dead stood up, clutching their wounds, and were about to curse when the two men in black had already disappeared.

Constables, carrying iron rulers and chains, ran rampant through the streets, shouting that the authorities were investigating a case. Bystanders were forced to step aside, and occasionally someone would be pulled from the crowd of onlookers of a brawl, shackled, and told, "You've committed a crime. You have the right to remain silent. Everything you say can be used against you in court."

Qin Ren dodged a thug who had fallen towards him and was hacked to death, let out a long sigh, looked at the chaotic provincial capital, and muttered to himself, "This is the Jianghu! It seems like no one cares if you kill someone. Damn, the world is too chaotic!"

"Hmph, you're making a fuss over nothing." A rather handsome young man, carrying a long sword, walked past Qin Ren and said disdainfully, "The Jianghu isn't as romantic as you imagine. Pretty boy, you should go home. Be careful you don't get killed and no one will collect your body!"

In the second section,

Qin Ren looked at the young man's disheveled appearance, his anger rising. He was about to rush over and slap him a couple of times to teach him a lesson when he heard the young man scream "Ah!" and fall to the ground, twitching twice before becoming still.

Qin Ren walked over and saw that the boy's face had been smashed to pieces by a fist-sized, spiked meteor hammer, his brains spilling out. He had no idea who had done it.

Qin Ren looked around, seeing everyone hurrying by, sighed, and said to the dead man on the ground, "The martial world is dangerous. Don't think you're immune just because you have a sword, damn it!" He then strode towards an alleyway beside the main street lined with signs for brothels like "Yihong Courtyard," "Ningcui Tower," and "Lichun Courtyard." Based on his

experience watching movies in his previous life, Qin Ren knew this was the brothel district that men dreamed of. The Third Young Master decided that today, in this brothel district, he would experience the taste of women—something he hadn't tasted in his thirty-eight years of life!

Qin Ren strolled along, seeing several alluring women standing in front of each brothel, openly soliciting customers on the street. Every now and then, well-dressed men would be pulled inside.

Of course, some people tried to stop Qin Ren. These vulgar women, upon seeing him, would cover their mouths and giggle, their bodies trembling with desire: "Oh my, handsome brother, how can you be so handsome? Isn't this forcing other stinky men to jump off buildings? You're here to find a girl, right? Look at my breasts, my face, and my slender waist… I guarantee you'll be satisfied! Hey, hey, why are you leaving? Damn it, don't you like me? God bless you with impotence! Impotence! Exhaustion! Damn it!"

Qin Ren covered his nose the whole way. He, the third young master of the Qin family, had never smelled the stench of these common prostitutes. Not only did they have body odor, but they also wore cheap perfume made of some unknown material; the mixed smell was enough to make one vomit their last meal. Some were even more terrifying; when they laughed, the white powder on their faces would fall off in a flurry, revealing old faces beneath, like sun-cracked yellow earth. Qin Ren's appetite was completely extinguished.

Walking along, constantly shaking off the entanglements of vulgar women, Qin Ren was nearing the end of this red-light district when his eyes suddenly lit up. At the end of the street, a huge sign gleamed under the red lanterns. The two large characters on the sign were written in a vigorous, flowing style, clearly the work of a master calligrapher:

"Pleasure Quarters!" Indeed, it was exactly that: Pleasure Quarters! The sign was simple and clear, stating the purpose of the establishment in a single word, far more elegant than the vulgar, trendy signs like "Yihong" or "Ningcui."

On either side of the "Pleasure Quarters" sign was a rather imposing couplet:

Upper line: "Indulging in pleasure, young men are dashing while they are young."

Lower line: "Lying on fragrant beds, beautiful women are at your disposal."

Horizontal inscription: "Seeking pleasure and revelry."

Qin Ren laughed heartily, pointing at the couplet and saying, "Interesting, truly interesting! Alright, just for this couplet, I, the young master, must go in and have a gourmet visit!"

Qin Ren strode towards the entrance of the brothel. This brothel seemed to be of high class; there were no vulgar women soliciting customers at the entrance, but instead, four charming young girls stood there. As Qin Ren approached the entrance, the four girls bowed to him in unison and said sweetly, "Good evening, young master." One of the girls stepped forward, approached Qin Ren, and said with a gentle smile, "May I ask your honorable name, young master? Are you here to stay the night or for a casual encounter?"

In the brothel terminology of the Great Qin Empire, "staying the night" meant paying for a girl to sleep with for the night, while "having a casual encounter" meant inviting a girl over for a meal, sex, and then leaving.

Qin Ren chuckled and stroked the girl's smooth cheek, saying, "My surname is Qin. Since I'm here, I'll stay the night, of course. It's no fun just leaving after we're done, right? Little girl, I'm quite something, you know. How about the four of you keep me company?"

The girl giggled, "Young master, you're so naughty! I'm just a hostess in this brothel, I'm not qualified to entertain guests. Besides, how could someone as plain as me be worthy to spend the night with you? Young master Qin, there are beauties everywhere in this brothel, and tonight is the wedding night of our top courtesan, Xiangyue. Would you be interested in bidding her off?"

Qin Ren asked curiously, "Wedding night? Doesn't that mean getting married?"

The young woman's pretty eyes narrowed, and she giggled, "Young master, you're so naughty! How could we girls from these brothels be so lucky to get married? To be chosen by a nobleman and kept as a maid or a concubine is already a blessing from our past lives. In our line of work, 'leaving the house' refers to women who, although they've entered the profession, are still virgins. At a certain age, they must come out to entertain guests. The first guest they receive is called the 'new son-in-law,' and the woman's first night with that guest is called 'leaving the house.' On the night of their 'leaving the house,' guests bid based on their wealth, and the highest bidder wins. Seeing that you, young master, are handsome and dressed in fine clothes, I..." "Young Master, are you interested in becoming the new son-in-law? Miss Xiangyue is a rare beauty. Not only is she proficient in all the arts, but she also has a voice like a celestial being. To win her heart is a rare and precious opportunity!"

Qin Ren's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously, saying, "I'll participate, of course I'll participate! Take me in quickly! Damn it, I have plenty of money, why would I be afraid of not being able to become Miss Xiangyue's new son-in-law?" The

Third Young Master's wolfish nature was ignited. He thought to himself, "I'm a virgin for two lifetimes, so my first woman must also be a virgin, otherwise, wouldn't I be at a huge loss?" Tonight, he was determined to become Miss Xiangyue's new son-in-law!

The young woman led Qin Ren through the gate, and after passing the screen, the main hall of the pleasure quarters appeared before them.

The hall was already full of people, all dressed in luxurious clothes, adorned with gold and jade, clearly wealthy. Many also carried weapons, indicating they were wealthy江湖人 (jianghu people, figures of martial arts and chivalry).

The hall floor was covered with a large red carpet, and the tables and chairs were made of red sandalwood. The tables were laden with pastries and fruits, and the air was filled with the aroma of various wines. To the south of the hall was a large platform, ten zhang long and five zhang wide, three chi high above the ground, draped with a red silk curtain that remained undrawn.

The young woman asked, "Will Young Master Qin wait in this hall, or perhaps go upstairs to a private room?"

Given the Third Young Master's status, he naturally wouldn't want to wait idly in the hall. He nodded and said to the young woman, "Take me to a private room with the best view." He then handed her a hundred-tael silver note. Upon seeing the note, the young woman beamed and cheerfully pulled Qin Ren upstairs to the second floor. They found a private room by the window, where they could see the large platform directly from the front.

"Bring me some wine and food first, the best wine and the best dishes," Qin Ren ordered, holding the young woman's small hand and giving her a light pinch on her shapely bottom. Although he wasn't hungry, he had an excessive amount of money on him, and it would be troublesome if he didn't spend some.

The young woman gave Qin Ren a playful glare and went out to make arrangements. Qin Ren sat in his armchair, looking out at the large platform, wondering when the bidding, which treated people like commodities, would begin.

The third section

was filled with food and wine. The young woman who had greeted the guests temporarily took on the role of a hostess, sitting on Qin Ren's lap and pouring him drinks and serving him food. While Qin Ren's mouth was busy, his hands were not idle, roaming over the young woman's body, his clumsy movements making her giggle.

"Young master, is this your first time?" the young woman asked with a smile, casually brushing away Qin Ren's hand that had reached below her abdomen.

Qin Ren's old face blushed slightly, but having aspired to be a peerless womanizer since childhood, his skin was naturally quite thick. His thirty-eight years of life experience across two lifetimes had also made him smooth and sophisticated in his dealings with people. If the girl's words hadn't struck a nerve with his most shameful secret, his face wouldn't have turned red.

Qin Ren, his left arm around the girl's waist and his right hand gently caressing her still-full breasts, coughed lightly and changed the subject: "When does the auction start? It's not good to keep people waiting like this, is it?"

The girl giggled, feeding Qin Ren a sip of wine with her cherry-like lips, her tongue swirling in his mouth, arousing his lust and making his lower body throb. If he weren't waiting to catch a glimpse of Xiangyue's beauty, he might have taken her right there and then.

"Young master, it'll start soon, don't rush. Your servant will serve you good food and drink, so please enjoy yourself."

Up until now, Qin Ren hadn't even asked the girl's name. In the pleasure quarters, all one seeks is a fleeting moment of pleasure. Find a woman to play with, pay up the next day, and leave laughing all the way out. What use is asking her name? Even a young

master who picks flowers should pick from respectable families. Entering the brothel was merely a preliminary exercise, a chance to gain some practical experience.
After eating and drinking for a while, a gong sounded, followed by the sound of wind instruments. The red curtain on the stage slowly rose, and the noisy hall fell silent. All the guests' eyes were drawn to the stage.

Qin Ren was no exception. With one arm around a young girl's neck, chewing on a goose foot, he squinted at the high platform in the hall.

On the platform stood two rows of women, each one infinitely beautiful, with perfect figures and faces.

The two rows of women bowed deeply to the guests below, then stepped aside to stand on either side of the platform, revealing a red door in the pink wall.

The red door slowly opened, and two more rows of women emerged, each carrying a flower basket filled with petals. As they walked, the women scattered petals, filling the hall with a fragrant aroma.

A young girl in a yellow shirt and green skirt, with long hair reaching her waist, followed the group out, like a star surrounded by the moon. Two rows of women carrying flower baskets stood on either side of the stage.

The girl in the yellow shirt and green skirt initially kept her head down, obscuring her face. Seeing the setup on stage, Qin Ren knew the girl was the star of the evening. He whistled and shouted, "Girl, raise your head! Let this young master see your face!"

Qin Ren shouted loudly; the music in the hall couldn't drown out his voice. Hearing this, the guests below all looked at Qin Ren with displeasure. Fortunately, those who had come to solicit prostitutes that night considered themselves of some status and disdained to lower themselves to Qin Ren's level. They glanced at him a few times and then paid no further attention.

The girl in the yellow shirt walked to the front of the stage and raised her head, but her face was covered with a pure white veil, revealing only her beautiful eyes.

At this moment, someone in the audience shouted, "Take off the veil! How can anyone see clearly like this?" The audience immediately began to jeer.

A middle-aged woman dressed in elegant attire walked onto the stage and said with a smile, "Miss Xiangyue is only fifteen years old and has not yet married. She is afraid of meeting strangers. If you wish to see Miss Xiangyue's true face and become her intimate guest, you must see if your wallets are full. Miss Xiangyue's starting price is fifty thousand taels of silver. Please bid."

Qin Ren saw that although the girl's eyes were extremely captivating, with a pair of beautiful eyes under her willow-leaf eyebrows that were full of charm, and she had a pure and innocent naivety, he could not see her true face. He felt like he was being scratched by a kitten and complained, "Damn it, how can we bid if we can't even see her face? What if the young master bids a high price, and when the veil is lifted, she has a face full of pockmarks? Wouldn't the young master's money be wasted? It would be more reliable to find a pheasant by the roadside. At least the money is exchanged and there is no cheating!"

Immediately, some people in the audience agreed, saying that the veil should be removed so that everyone could see clearly.

The middle-aged beauty smiled and said, "If you become a guest of Miss Xiangyue today and are dissatisfied with her appearance after entering her bridal chamber, the brothel is willing to pay double the highest price in the entire establishment."

Her words only piqued the curiosity of the guests, even piquing Qin Ren's interest. "Hey, what strong confidence! Good, I'll just offer an exorbitant price later, and then complain after I've had my way with her. Getting double the money back wouldn't be bad!" Qin Ren thought smugly, unaware that most of the guests in the brothel thought the same thing.

Qin Ren wasn't in a hurry to bid, leisurely waiting for the curious guests to make their offers.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "I bid 70,000 taels!" Then someone else yelled, "I bid 100,000 taels!" In an instant, the bidding erupted, and the price had risen from the starting price of 50,000 taels to 300,000 taels!

The one who offered 300,000 taels was an old man with white hair and a white beard. There were four attendants standing beside him, each of whom was dressed in an extremely arrogant manner. The old man himself was, of course, even more so.

On stage, a middle-aged woman, seeing the old man bid 300,000 taels, laughed and said, "Master Buu, the patriarch of the Bu family in Jiangnan, has bid 300,000 taels. Is there anyone who can bid higher than Master Buu?"

The shout of 300,000 taels immediately silenced the entire hall.

Qin Sanshao, while drinking and eating, sighed with a touch of melancholy, "300,000 taels! One hundred taels of silver is enough for a family of three to live a comfortable life for a year! Corruption! Debauchery! 300,000 taels of pure silver, just to seduce a girl he's never even seen? This old man is truly insane..."

The brothel hall was now eerily quiet; everyone was shocked by the astronomical price of 300,000 taels. Qin Ren, speaking to himself, deliberately didn't lower his voice, intending for everyone to hear, and his words naturally caused a huge uproar.

The Bu family of Jiangnan—what a prestigious name! The Bu family patriarch, "Demon Buu," wasn't given that nickname for nothing!

Immediately, most of the people in the entertainment area focused their attention on the window of Qin Ren's private booth upstairs, wanting to see what this arrogant young man looked like.

Buu had brought four attendants, each with a restrained aura and sharp eyes. Their four cold, piercing gazes were like swords fixed on Qin Ren; if looks could kill, Qin Ren would probably be sliced to shreds by now! But Buu hadn't spoken yet, so they could only wait and see.

"Majin" Buu was very angry; the severity of the consequences was still unknown. He suppressed his anger and was about to speak when he heard the arrogant young man upstairs lazily say, "But look at this old man's wretched state, he must be seventy or eighty years old, right? Damn it, if he's impotent, what's the use of him taking the top spot? He might just die of a stroke. Sigh, I'm such a compassionate young master, for the sake of this old man's safety, I'll offer five hundred thousand taels of silver to be your libertine ghost under the peony!"

Old Master Buu was so angry that his face turned red, and he slammed his fist on the table, the powerful force shattering the red sandalwood table in front of him into dust! The old man screamed, "Four Heavenly Kings, skin that arrogant brat alive!"

At

Buu's command, one of his four attendants, a thin man, immediately leaped into the air and flew diagonally towards the window of Qin Ren's private seat, his hands forming eagle claws. Judging from the bluish-black color of his fingers, his hand skills were quite formidable. The other three remained motionless, seemingly confident in their status and unwilling to fight four against one.

Qin Ren sat upright in his chair, watching the person flying towards him.

While Qin Ren's lightness skill might not be the best in the world, it was certainly among the top five.

He immediately saw that although the person flew very fast and their movements looked beautiful, there were significant flaws. In particular, the swinging of their legs in the air was problematic.

Just as the person was about to reach the window, Qin Ren picked up a silver chopstick, stood it upright, and stuck it into the window frame.

At that moment, the person stepped onto the window frame with one foot, the sole of their foot landing squarely on the silver chopstick.

With a soft thud, the silver chopstick pierced through the sole of the person's foot, protruding from the instep. The person screamed in pain, fell backward, and crashed to the ground floor floor with a thud. A suppressed gasp rippled through the room, followed by complete silence. Except for the hostess sitting on Qin Ren's lap, no one knew how the person had been defeated.

Qin Ren clapped his hands and laughed, "Good, good, not bad! Brother, your lightness skill is indeed elegant! I am ashamed to admit my inferiority. Could it be that you are Liu Dema, one of the four great kings of the Bu family, known in the martial arts world as 'The Eagle King Who Soars to the Sky'? My apologies, my apologies!"

Even as the man displayed his lightness skill, Qin Ren had already discerned that his vital energy point was at the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of his foot. And when he stepped on something solid, it was precisely the time for him to breathe. The turbid air descended, and the clear air rose, leaving his feet completely undefended. Combined with his weight, it would be incredibly easy for a silver chopstick to pierce his Yongquan acupoint and break his vital energy point. Liu Dema's martial arts skills were now useless, and his nickname "The Eagle King Who Soars to the Sky" would be no longer needed.

Another of Buu's Four Heavenly Kings rushed over to help Liu Dema up. Upon seeing him, he was immediately horrified and cried out to Buu, "Old man, cripple Dema for this brat!"

Buu's face was ashen. He slowly stood up, his thin body trembling uncontrollably, his white hair moving without wind. He looked terrified, but was actually furious.

Qin Ren, however, completely disregarded Buu. He pulled out a folding fan from his waist, unfurled it with a whoosh, and leisurely waved it a few times, saying, "The other three are perhaps 'King of Ten Thousand Poisons' Gu Fucheng, 'Dragon King Crossing the River' Zhong Xueyou, and 'Tiger King Shaking the Mountain' Li Ming? Hmm, I've long admired the Four Heavenly Kings!"

Qin Ren was deliberately trying to provoke the demon Buu, only mentioning the Four Heavenly Kings without uttering a word about Buu.

Buu, however, did not immediately erupt in anger. Seeing Qin Ren effortlessly cripple Liu Dema, a top-tier martial artist, he knew this young man was no ordinary opponent. Suppressing his rage, he bowed to Qin Ren and said, "May I ask this young master's name? I, Buu, am a complete stranger to you. Why do you oppose me?"

Qin Ren, fanning himself with his folding fan, shook his head and said, "Old Master Buu, you are mistaken. I came to this brothel simply to seek pleasure. You are willing to pay for Miss Xiangyue..." "Why can't I have a night with you? This isn't about being hostile, it's just fair competition. As for my name, I'm not familiar with you, and I don't need you to treat me to drinks, so it's best not to tell you."

Buu said darkly, "Young master, I asked your name because I was afraid of accidentally harming an old friend's son, which would be difficult to explain. If I'm forced to take action myself, you little brat will probably be crying for your parents!"

Buu insisted on asking Qin Ren's name because he was indeed afraid of offending someone he couldn't afford to offend. Qin Ren looked like a spoiled brat, but this spoiled brat also had excellent martial arts skills, able to kill Liu Dema with a flick of his wrist, so he must be from a noble family. Among these noble family scions, some are easy to offend, and some are not. Although Old Master Bu was arrogant and conceited, he still knew to be cautious when things came to a head.

Qin Ren smiled slightly, stood up, and looked down at Buu, saying with a smile, "Buu, once I reveal my name, you'd better have the guts to bear the consequences! Let me tell you, my surname is Qin, my full name is Qin Ren, and my nickname is 'Lover'!"

Buu was taken aback, then grinned maliciously and shook his head, saying, "Never heard of you, hehe, your nickname is really nothing!" His face suddenly turned ruthless, and he shouted, "Kill this brat!"

Qin Ren was stunned, thinking, "Is my name really that intimidating? I'm the third young master of the Qin family! If they don't give me face, they should at least give face to my parents and two older brothers, right?" Little did

he know that in the Great Qin Empire, there were countless families with the surname Qin. Just because he said his surname was Qin didn't necessarily mean that people would think of the Qin family of Xiaoyao Manor. Moreover, Qin Ren traveled the martial world, and Qin Xiaoyao, at his behest, hadn't informed his fellow martial artists. No one knew that the third young master of the Qin family had come of age and descended the mountain. Once Qin Ren revealed his name, naturally no one would know.

Now, with Buu's order, the remaining three Heavenly Kings—Zhong Xueyou, Gu Fucheng, and Li Ming—no longer dared to be careless and simultaneously flew towards Qin Ren.

Among the Four Heavenly Kings, Liu Dema had the best lightness skill; the other three were skilled in poison, water combat, and physical martial arts respectively.

Gu Fucheng, being slightly better at lightness among the three, flew in the lead. Just as he was about to reach the window, he sprinkled a cloud of powder towards Qin Ren. This powder was naturally poison. Qin Ren was immune to all poisons, but the girl serving him drinks was afraid of poison.

Seeing the poison powder approaching, Qin Ren forcefully waved his folding fan. Although his martial arts skills were lacking, he possessed a century's worth of internal energy. With a casual wave of his fan, a gust of wind immediately arose, blowing all the poison powder back and blasting it onto Gu Fucheng, Zhong Xueyou, and Li Ming.

Gu Fucheng underestimated Qin Ren's youth, never expecting Qin Ren to be able to blow the poison powder back. The poison powder he released was something even a master with thirty or forty years of experience might not be able to blow back, catching him completely off guard.

However, as a master of poisons, Gu Fucheng naturally had a way to counteract the poison he released. Seeing the poison powder blow back, he immediately held his breath, closed his eyes, and took out two pills to put in his mouth.

Zhong Xueyou and Li Ming were less fortunate; they were directly hit by the poison powder, letting out two bloodcurdling screams as they convulsed and plummeted to the ground, their bodies emitting wisps of smoke before instantly turning into two pools of blood.

Gu Fucheng, though he held his breath and closed his eyes to take the antidote, forgot to stop his forward flight and landed on the ground, continuing to fly forward with his eyes closed. Seeing Gu Fucheng deliver himself to his doom, Qin Ren didn't hold back, slicing Gu Fucheng's throat with the edge of his folding fan. The fan, sharp as a blade, instantly severed Gu Fucheng's throat. Gu Fucheng died instantly, falling straight to the ground floor.

In no time, Qin Ren had killed three people. Although many of his methods were clever, the profound internal strength he used to deflect the poison powder was enough to astound any martial arts enthusiasts among the guests.

Majin Buu was even more shocked. The Four Heavenly Kings were all top-tier martial artists, yet now, in a single exchange, three were dead and one crippled by Qin Ren. Just who was this Qin Ren?

In the fifth chapter

, Buu looked at Qin Ren and slowly revealed his weapon. It was a short sword, about 1.5 feet long, with a simple and unremarkable blade, its color dull and unremarkable.

But no one dared to underestimate this sword, for it was Buu's sword!

With the sword in hand, Buu's expression completely changed. The fiery aura surrounding him vanished without a trace, and he appeared as calm as a still, ancient well.

Everyone in the hall felt Buu's imposing presence; to those with even a basic understanding of martial arts, Buu seemed to have become one with the short sword in his hand. The white-haired old man standing in the hall had transformed into a drawn sword.

Buu looked at his sword and said with deep emotion, "I started practicing swordsmanship in the snow when I was seven, repeating the same movement three thousand times a day for ten years. I debuted at seventeen, cleaving the then-dominant swordsman, 'Supreme Sword King' Dao Wudi, with a single strike; at eighteen, I beheaded 'Unrivaled Swordsman' Newton; at nineteen, I slashed 'Sword Emperor' Ma Debao; at twenty, I single-handedly challenged the largest swordsmanship sect in the martial world—the One-Sword Alliance—and killed its leader, 'Great Li Flying Dagger' Li Nianhua, in two moves! From then on, I was known as the 'Demon Man' in the martial world, and my sword was called the 'Demon Sword.' No other swordsman in the martial world has ever..." "A man dares to brandish his blade before me! I am seventy-seven years old this year, and this blade of mine has been lonely for fifty-seven years! The loneliest state is when one is invincible. Boy, today I unleash this 'Demon Blade,' which I haven't shown to anyone in fifty-seven years. You'll be blessed even in death!"

Qin Ren narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "Old man, stop boasting in front of the young master! You are the number one swordsman in the martial world, so what is 'Thunder God of the Blade' Qin Lei?!"

Upon hearing the words "Thunder God of the Blade," Buu's aura visibly faltered, and everyone immediately sensed the disruption in his usually calm demeanor.

The Thunder God of the Blade was one of the two most prominent young swordsmen in the martial world in recent years, on par with the "Star River Sword Saint." Any swordsman who wanted to claim invincibility had to first pass the Thunder God of the Blade's test!

Buu took a deep breath, gradually returning to his calm and collected state. He stared intently at his sword, as if gazing at a first love, and slowly said, "Thunder Blade God, what a mere brat! My Demon Blade is not drawn, yet this junior dares to call himself a god. So be it! What use is empty fame in the martial world? I will not contend with this junior for fame; let him call himself a god if he wants. But what use is being a god before me, Buu?"

Qin Ren was utterly dumbfounded. He never expected Buu to be so shameless. Clearly, he dared not compete with his second brother, yet he claimed not to contend with a junior, putting on an air of a reclusive master, while he himself was vying for Qin Ren's affections in this brothel!

"Youngster, I had no intention of taking your life, but you have killed four of my loyal subordinates. If I do not avenge them, how will I stand in the martial world? How will I face these four loyal and courageous men a hundred years from now? Youngster, prepare to die!" Buu let out a clear whistle and suddenly attacked.

He flew towards Qin Ren like a white crane, his demonic blade slashing straight down from above. The blade light, like a silver waterfall or a shooting star, was aimed directly at Qin Ren's head.

This strike was simple and direct, without any fancy moves. With Qin Ren's mediocre martial arts skills, he could not possibly withstand it. However, with his lightness skill, dodging it would not be difficult.

But Qin Ren remained calm and unhurried, making no attempt to dodge. He knew that he still had 112 years of life left in this life! Buu's strike could not possibly kill him!

He waved his folding fan, a smile on his face, his eyes fixed intently on the approaching blade light, as calm as the Buddha under the Bodhi tree.

Seeing Qin Ren's composure, Buu panicked.

Buu suddenly realized the young man before him was surnamed Qin, and then he remembered that both the Star River Sword Saint and the Thunder Blade God were surnamed Qin.

And in the Xiaoyao Manor not far from Wuyun City, there was another powerful figure, also surnamed Qin!

Who exactly was this mysterious young man? What was his relationship with Qin Xiaoyao, Qin Feng, and Qin Lei?

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Buu's mind. These thoughts, while making Buu panic, also caused his sword to deviate slightly and his movements to slow down slightly. This slight deviation and slowing down were enough to turn the tide of the battle!

With a "swoosh," Buu's sword struck the window frame, cleaving it in two.

With a "bang," Buu's head, after the sword deflected, hit the window sill. With a powerful and agile leap, the impact caused Buu to suffer a considerable counterattack, his head snapping back and

his body falling uncontrollably. Qin Ren, in that instant, displayed astonishing agility, darting out of the window and chasing after Buu's falling body. He lightly tapped Buu's forehead with his toe, using the momentum to float up like a weightless cotton ball, drifting lightly towards the pink platform in the hall.

Buu, whose forehead had been touched by Qin Ren, suddenly accelerated his descent, crashing to the floor in an instant. With a deafening crash, Buu slammed onto the floor, splinters flying, his emaciated body deeply embedded in the floorboards, a gaping hole in his forehead from which blood gushed.

How terrifying was Qin Ren's kick? That light tap carried the force of a thousand-pound hammer!

A clamor erupted in the hall; the fight could only be described as utterly disastrous, lacking any truly impressive moments. The infamous Majin Buu and the Four Heavenly Kings inexplicably died one after another at Qin Ren's hands, leaving many bewildered.

Qin Ren, however, paid no heed. Without even glancing at Buu's corpse, he floated to the high platform before Xiang Yue, smiling and bowing respectfully, saying, "Miss Xiang Yue, I greet you." Xiang Yue

looked at Qin Ren with her beautiful eyes, a blush rising on her veiled face. She lowered her head shyly, speaking in a barely audible voice, "Young master, there's no need for such formality." Qin Ren laughed heartily

, pulling a wad of cash from his pocket and slapping it loudly. "I can afford it, and I beat my competitors, saving you from that lecherous old man's cruel hand. Miss Xiang Yue, tonight, you'll have to be my new son-in-law, won't you?"

"This servant…this servant cannot decide," Xiang Yue said softly, though inwardly she was overjoyed. Just now, she had witnessed Qin Ren effortlessly defeat Majin Buu and the Four Heavenly Kings, his lightness skill so graceful and handsome. Now, upon closer inspection, she felt that this young master was incomparably handsome, and her heart had already secretly been won over. For courtesans like them, it was better to give their first night of virginity to such a handsome and wealthy young man than to some rich and powerful old men who were already half-buried in the ground. The

middle-aged beauty beside Miss Xiangyue, while instructing the pimps in the brothel to bring some guards to dispose of the corpses, walked up to Qin Ren with a fawning smile, took Qin Ren's silver notes, and said, "Young master, your martial arts are superb, and your family is so wealthy. My daughter is so lucky to have a new son-in-law like you... Quickly, someone, escort the new son-in-law and Miss Xiangyue to the bridal chamber!"

~Chapter 3 The Ethereal Woman~

Section 1

Standing in the "bridal chamber," Qin Ren was still a little nervous. He took two deep breaths, cheered himself up, and silently chanted, "Young Master is the strongest! Young Master's golden spear is invincible! Unbeatable in this bridal chamber!" Then he smiled and surveyed the environment of the "bridal chamber."

The new room was not luxuriously decorated, but it was very elegant. Against the wall was a fragrant bed, with a wardrobe at the head of the bed, a small table in front of the bed, and a round table with several wooden chairs in the middle of the room.

On the round table were a pot of wine, some pastries, and two plates of fruit. On the small table burned a jar of sandalwood incense and two red candles.

The candlelight flickered gently, making the shadow of Xiangyue, the young lady in the gauze curtains on the fragrant bed, dance.

Qin Ren walked to the table, pulled up a chair, poured himself a cup of wine, and drank it all in one gulp. The wine was good wine, the finest daughter's red, its color like blood, like a man's passionate blood, and like a woman's red lips.

Qin Ren drank five cups in a row, using the alcohol to embolden himself and arouse his lust, until his body felt slightly warm.

While drinking, he recalled the "Turning Clouds and Rain" martial arts technique his father had taught him. Just as Qin Ren was about to drink again, he heard Xiang Yue say softly, "Are you planning to drink here all night?"

Hearing Xiang Yue's voice, Qin Ren's breath caught in his throat, and he put down the wine cup he had just raised to his lips. Her voice was beautiful, yet carried a hint of coldness, like snow in the twelfth lunar month—exquisitely beautiful, yet utterly chilling.

Qin Ren chuckled and deliberately teased her, "If I don't drink, what else can I do?"

Xiang Yue said coquettishly, "You bad man…you come here for whatever reason, and that's what you'll do." Qin Ren felt a strange sensation in his heart. Although Xiang Yue's words sounded like playful banter between lovers, there was an icy chill to them, as if her sweet words were merely an act. However, Qin Ren thought for a moment, "I'm just paying for sex, and most of the prostitutes in this brothel are trained from a young age, only recognizing money and not people. Can I really expect them to develop feelings for me?"

With this thought, Qin Ren shook his head and recited, "A pair of jade arms for a thousand pillows, half a vermilion lip for ten thousand tastes. Horizontal inscription—Serve the people!"

Xiangyue recited it softly twice, then suddenly let out a soft laugh, a laugh that was obviously artificial, cold and devoid of any genuine joy. "Young master, you're so naughty, I'm not coming anymore..."

Qin Ren laughed heartily, strode to the bedside, lifted the gauze curtain, and his heart skipped a beat.

Xiangyue had removed her veil, revealing her face, beautiful as a dream. Her eyes, her nose, her lips—all were as beautiful as a dream, a heartbreaking yet unforgettable dream!

She was draped only in a sheer, gossamer-thin veil. In the candlelight, her jade-like skin was faintly visible, her firm breasts gleaming alluringly beneath the fabric, and her long, slender legs were partially concealed. A delicate fragrance wafted into Qin Ren's nostrils with her soft breaths.

Qin Ren, young and vigorous, felt a surge of heat rise from his dantian at the sight of such an alluring sight. He couldn't resist leaning down, gently embracing Xiang Yue, and lightly kissing her forehead.

Xiang Yue glanced at Qin Ren with seductive eyes, her gaze filled with indescribable charm. However, Qin Ren keenly sensed an unfathomable coldness hidden within those seemingly gentle eyes. Xiang Yue said softly, "Young master, let me help you rest." With that, she began to undress Qin Ren.

Qin Ren sat on the bed, motionless, enjoying Xiang Yue's service. He casually asked, "Miss Xiang Yue, what's your surname?"

Xiang Yue was currently removing Qin Ren's gold-threaded soft armor. Upon hearing Qin Ren's question, her jade-like eyes visibly trembled, but she quickly concealed it, smiling seductively, "My surname is Xiao."

"Xiao Xiang Yue... Xiao Xiang Yue..." Qin Ren silently repeated the name twice. For some reason, he thought of Lin Daiyu from the classic novel "Dream of the Red Chamber" he had read in his previous life. Wasn't the place where that jealous, sickly beauty lived called "Xiao Xiang Guan"? Hmm, Jia Baoyu's courtyard was called "Yi Hong Yuan." In that case, wasn't the Jia family mansion a super luxurious brothel? With this thought, Qin Ren couldn't help but chuckle to himself, thinking, "I never thought I'd stumble upon such a high level of prostitution!"

In no time, Qin Ren was stripped down to only his underwear by Xiao Xiang Yue. During this time, Xiao Xiangyue's soft, boneless hands would occasionally, intentionally or unintentionally, touch Qin Ren's sensitive areas, making Qin Ren's desire unbearable, and his lower body was already high.

"Young master, you're so naughty..." Xiao Xiangyue looked at Qin Ren's underwear, which was billowing like sails, and her phoenix eyes seemed to hold a pool of spring water. She glanced at Qin Ren sideways, making him dizzy with desire.

Having been a virgin for thirty-eight years in both his past and present lives, Qin Ren finally couldn't hold back anymore. He flipped over and pinned Xiao Xiangyue down, and with a few quick movements, he tore off the thin veil covering her body, revealing a body as exquisite as the most beautiful work of art before him.

"Haha, today I, the young master, will spread my wings like an eagle!" Qin Ren didn't bother with any unnecessary foreplay, raised his spear and prepared to charge. However, he was a complete novice when it came to sex. Philosophers are often repressed and passionate, and poor Qin Ren had never even watched adult films in his previous life, so he knew absolutely nothing about the female anatomy.

The valiant man who had mounted his horse earlier attacked several times but couldn't find the right way. His hands kneaded Xiao Xiangyue's firm, white breasts, his mouth sucked on her sweet nipples, while his own impressive member thrashed wildly outside the door, amusing Xiao Xiangyue who moaned softly and giggled, "Young master, are you perhaps inexperienced?"

Qin Ren's old face flushed slightly, and he spat, "Girl, don't laugh at the young master. Are you some kind of expert?"

Xiao Xiangyue giggled, "Although I am inexperienced, as someone from the pleasure quarters, my experience far surpasses yours. Let me do it." "Help, young master..." she said, her pretty face flushed, her jade hand reaching down to her lower body, grasping Qin Ren's manhood, letting out a gasp: "Young master's endowment... is too abundant, you must be gentle with me..."

Qin Ren chuckled, "Hehe, it's all thanks to the 'Burning Desire Qi' and the 'Great Vajra Pill'... Oh, so good..."

As he spoke, Xiao Xiangyue had already guided him to the entrance. Qin Ren straightened his waist, his whole body and mind feeling as if they had entered a warm and moist world, tightly enveloped, so comfortable that he felt like his soul was flying away. The

jade woman beneath him let out a soft moan, her brows furrowing slightly, panting and saying in a delicate voice: "Young master, I... I'm in so much pain..."

Qin Ren leaned down and kissed the jade woman's cherry lips, saying: "Little girl, young master will be gentle with you, young master is not a brute who doesn't understand romance." As he spoke, he moved gently, and after breaking through that barrier, the place where their lower bodies joined was already wet.

"That spring, the peach blossoms bloomed..." Qin Ren uttered these words as he worked, almost as if possessed. Instantly, the room was filled with the warmth of spring... In

the second section

, Qin Ren, having completed his transition from boy to man, lay on his back on the bed, his head resting on his arm, a cigarette dangling from his lips (don't ask me where the cigarette came from, I don't know either), contentedly puffing out clouds of smoke.

Xiao Xiangyue, who had just become a woman, curled up in Qin Ren's arms like a kitten, her slender fingers tracing circles on his chest.

"Young master, are you satisfied with me?"

"Yes, very satisfied."

"Then would you be willing to stay a few more days?"

"Oh? Girl, you want me to spend all my money on you, don't you? Do you know, just to sleep with you for one night, I spent 500,000 taels of silver! Damn, that's more than the disaster relief funds for the Nu River..."

Xiao Xiangyue's expression darkened for a moment, but the darkness vanished in an instant. She then smiled seductively, hooking one arm around Qin Ren's neck and reaching down to grab his manhood, shaking it wildly. "Then are you willing to spend all your money on me, young master~~~"

Qin Ren gasped: "Girl, be gentle, be gentle, my manhood is going to break!"

"I won't let go!" Xiao Xiangyue put on a spoiled act, her angelic face close to Qin Ren's, blinked, and said, "If you don't agree to stay with me for a few more days, I just won't let go!"

"Alright, alright, young master agrees!" Qin Ren was exasperated. Although he aspired to be the world's number one flower thief, he didn't want to be the number one flower destroyer. There were many beautiful women in the world, but few were as beautiful as Xiao Xiangyue. Beautiful women usually had a big advantage in front of men, especially Xiao Xiangyue, the woman who gave Qin Ren his first time and also allowed him to experience his first time in life. Naturally, she held a special place in Qin Ren's heart.

"Yue'er," Qin Ren casually called out "Yue'er," unaware that Xiao Xiangyue had already taken a place in his heart. "I wonder what your relationship is with Xiao Shanhe, the head of the 'Embracing Flowers Hall' in Jiangnan..."

Xiao Xiangyue's expression darkened again, and she forced a smile, "I don't know any Xiao Shanhe..."

Qin Ren had only asked casually and hadn't noticed Xiao Xiangyue's expression. He said with an "Oh," and continued, "I've heard that Xiao Shanhe is the most handsome man in the martial arts world, famous for his iron flute, and possesses unfathomable inner strength. It's said his 'Seven Absolute Heavenly Sounds' is the most powerful technique in the martial arts world, capable of subduing people with sound. And his 'Embracing Flowers Hall' is said to be a gathering place for beauties from all over the world! Xiao Shanhe is a womanizer, only accepting beautiful women as his disciples. I've heard that all seventeen of his wives were once his apprentices… Heh, Xiao Shanhe, a true hero among wolves!"

Although Qin Ren wasn't skilled in martial arts, he knew quite a few martial arts anecdotes. The Xiaoyao Manor's intelligence agency, "Martial Arts Rumors," specialized in collecting intelligence and spreading rumors to cover up the truth. Many martial arts stories had become distorted after being deliberately twisted and spread by "Martial Arts Rumors," but Xiaoyao Manor always knew the truest facts. This was Xiaoyao Manor's secret to always being ahead of others in intelligence.

Besides diligently practicing lightness skills and studying medicine in his youth, Qin Ren was also very interested in cultural learning. Qin Ren had already memorized classic illustrated works such as *Living Erotic Palace*, *The Erotic Beauty's Journey*, *The Brothel Dream*, and *The Story of Three Men and One Hundred and Five Women*. He was also interested in martial arts anecdotes and stories, finding many of them fascinating. It could be said that in terms of knowledge of martial arts allusions and names, Qin Ren dared to claim second place, and even Qin Xiaoyao wouldn't dare claim first. This was simply because Qin Xiaoyao's interest in learning wasn't as great as Qin Ren's.

When Xiao Xiangyue heard Qin Ren recount Xiao Shanhe's heroic deeds, his words revealing admiration for Xiao Shanhe, her face immediately darkened terribly. She forced a smile and said, "Young Master, you're talking about martial arts anecdotes, but I don't understand them. Aren't you just casting pearls before swine?"

Qin Ren stroked Xiao Xiangyue's smooth face and laughed, "Where in the world is there a cow as charming as you? Girl, the main hall of Baohua Hall is only seven hundred miles away from Wuyun City. Young Master wants to go to Baohua Hall to see its famous flowers. Heh, I might pick a few then!"

Xiao Xiangyue said softly, "With Young Master's character, martial arts skills, and wealth, how many women in the world can resist your temptation? Picking those famous flowers would be a piece of cake."

Qin Ren laughed heartily, "Girl, you've hit the nail on the head. " "Alright! But there's an art to picking up girls; looks and money alone aren't enough. Look at you today, besides money, wasn't it because of your unparalleled martial arts skills that you were able to defeat that Majin Buu? If it weren't for your superior skills, you would have been chopped to pieces by Majin Buu long ago, and you wouldn't have had the chance to taste your irresistible beauty. But this kind of method only works in brothels. If you encounter a virtuous woman, and all other methods fail, you'll have to resort to drugs. Aphrodisiacs and sleeping pills all at once, and even a virtuous woman will turn into a slut, wahahahaha..."

Xiao Xiangyue shook her head inwardly. She hadn't expected Qin Ren to be so shameless. But what could a brothel woman like her say? Despite knowing her own insignificance, Xiao Xiangyue couldn't help but say, "Young master, what use is your body if you can't win a woman's heart?"

Qin Ren shook his head and said, "I only wish to indulge in pleasure, making all the beauties in the world bow down; I only wish to live a carefree life, squandering my youth in romance. What use is winning hearts? Wouldn't it just add to my worries? To win people's hearts, one must first give their own sincerity. I'm just an ordinary mortal; where would I get so much sincerity to give? I can't feign affection. Even if I frequent these pleasure quarters, it's just a transaction: I provide the money, you provide your body and youth, and that's it." "Buying and selling openly, perfectly fair. Would you give your heart to a patron? If you could be sincere to me, I would give you my whole fortune. But you know yourself, those in the pleasure quarters are most wary of sincerity. If you fall in love easily, you might as well give up this job."

After saying this, Qin Ren chuckled and hummed a song from his past life: "If your heart desires freedom, don't say any shackles won't let you go; if your heart is truly weary, what splendor can't be abandoned, what face in this world won't age!"

Xiao Xiangyue listened intently, looking at the handsome face of the young man before her, and the confusion in his eyes. She felt that this young man, not much older than her, had a sense of vicissitude in his eyes. Although he spoke of being dashing and romantic, it seemed more like a self-abandonment after seeing through everything. The philosopher's suffering often stems from their wisdom and detachment. Having seen through everything, what joy is there to speak of? Being repressed is one thing, but the loneliness of the soul is the most terrifying. It was precisely because of this that Qin Ren became determined to become a womanizer, willing to spend his life indulging in pleasures among beauties, seeking enjoyment amidst countless women, and savoring the alluring bodies of all the world's beauties, without ever giving a shred of genuine affection.

"If the heart truly tires, what splendor cannot be relinquished, what face in this world will not age..." Xiao Xiangyue murmured twice, a wave of desolation washing over her. Her unparalleled beauty was indeed breathtaking, but youth fades quickly. When she grew old and her beauty faded, would she still be able to make handsome young men squander money for her, and even kill for her in a fit of rage?

"Young master, I'm so scared..." The beauty shrank into Qin Ren's arms, clinging tightly to him, and said, "Young master, can you take me away?"

Qin Ren was taken aback, then said, "Take you away? You're the top courtesan in this brothel, your future is limitless, why do you want to come with me?"

Xiao Xiangyue said softly, "Young master, can you bear to let my pure and innocent body be forced to smile and submit to another man? You are my first man in this life, don't you want to be my last?" As she spoke, she was on the verge of tears.

Qin Ren took a deep drag on his cigarette, and for a moment he was somewhat dazed. If he agreed, it seemed that picking up other women would be more troublesome in the future. If he didn't agree, this beauty was too charming, and Qin Ren really couldn't bear to leave her to sell her smiles in this brothel. Most men have a strong possessive desire, and most men can't keep a woman they've touched for another man to share. Qin Ren was no exception.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Ren said, "Alright, I'll take you away from this brothel. I may not have much else, but I certainly have plenty of money. I'll redeem you first thing tomorrow morning!"

The next

morning, Qin Ren took Xiao Xiangyue to the brothel's madam and said, "Madam, I want to redeem Miss Xiao Xiangyue. How much would that cost?"

"Oh dear, sir, what are you saying… Miss Xiangyue is the brothel's top courtesan. If you take her away, our brothel will have to close down."

"If we can't close down, then we'll just shut down!" Qin Ren said calmly, pulling out a large wad of silver notes. "Do you want these 500,000 taels of silver, or do you want to close down completely?"

The madam sneered, "Sir, you underestimate our brothel. 500,000 taels of silver to take Miss Xiangyue away? Don't you even know who's in charge of this brothel?"

"Who is it? Tell me so the young master can broaden his horizons!" Qin Ren scoffed. What powerful force could possibly exist in Wuyun City? He knew the entire Jiangnan region belonged to his Xiaoyao Manor!

The madam said, "Young Master Qin, the major shareholder of this brothel is Li Hao, the city lord of Wuyun City! Miss Xiangyue is the top courtesan whom Lord Li has invested heavily in cultivating. Her name is a cash cow here! If you want to take Miss Xiangyue away, you can, but you'll have to get through to Lord Li first!"

"The garrison commander of Wuyun City? Not a small official, a fifth-rank official!" Qin Ren chuckled. "This brothel must earn Lord Li a lot of money every year, right?" His smile suddenly vanished, and he said viciously, "Believe it or not, with just one word from me, I can shut this brothel down, make that fifth-rank official Li Hao lose his official hat, and have his whole family wiped out!"

The madam's face changed. "Boy, you have quite the nerve! Men, show them out!"

At the madam's command, more than a dozen burly men appeared out of nowhere and surrounded Qin Ren and Xiao Xiangyue.

"Boy, I know you're skilled in martial arts. You even took down Majin Buu and the Four Heavenly Kings, so you naturally don't care about my guards. But don't blame me for not warning you, these men are all registered with the government, they're all officials. If you dare to hurt them, you're going against the government. Kill one, and you'll be wanted by the whole country; kill two, and your entire family will be exterminated!"

Qin Ren laughed loudly, "Madam, don't even mention killing one or two, even if I wiped out everyone in your brothel, no one could do anything to me!" He took two steps forward, leaned close to the madam's ear, and said with a smile, "I forgot to tell you, I have two older brothers, one named Qin Feng, and the other named Qin Lei..."

Upon hearing this, the madam's face changed drastically, and she exclaimed in surprise, "You're the third young master of Xiaoyao Manor!"

Qin Ren smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying, grabbed Xiao Xiangyue, slapped a large stack of silver notes on the madam's chest, pushed aside the two burly men surrounding them, and strode towards the door.

Seeing that Qin Ren didn't take them seriously at all, the burly men's expressions changed. Just as they were about to surround him again, the madam suddenly shrieked, "Stop it, all of you!"

The madam forced a smile, walked up to Qin Ren, and handed him the silver notes with both hands, saying in a fawning voice, "Third Young Master, this old servant was blind to your greatness. I hope you will forgive me. It is an honor for our brothel to have you here. How could we dare accept your money?"

Qin Ren sneered, "So you think I'm some kind of bully who takes advantage of others? Take the money. I don't have the habit of visiting brothels without paying!" With that, he pulled Xiao Xiangyue out of the brothel.

The madam watched Qin Ren's retreating figure, bowing repeatedly, "Third Young Master, have a good journey. This old servant won't see you off. Welcome to visit again..."

Only after Qin Ren's figure disappeared did the madam straighten up, her expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

One of the burly men stepped forward and whispered in the madam's ear, "Are we just going to let this go?"

The madam coldly replied, "What else can we do? Chase after him and kill him? Don't forget, he's the third young master of Xiaoyao Manor! Any expert from Xiaoyao Manor could wipe us out, let alone the Qin family's Sword Saint, Knife God, and Heaven-Covering Hand!"

"Should we report this to the city lord?"

"Of course we have to report! Otherwise, how can we explain where Miss Xiangyue went? But telling the city magistrate won't help. Wuyun City is so close to Xiaoyao Manor, and the city magistrate pays Xiaoyao Manor a whopping two million taels of silver every year, otherwise he wouldn't be able to keep his job! As for Xiangyue, consider it a yearly tribute to Xiaoyao Manor! Everyone disperse, go do your business, don't block the gate..."

Qin Ren's next destination was "Wanhua City," where the main branch of Baohua Hall was located. If he were traveling alone, he might have walked there, but now that Xiao Xiangyue was with him, walking would be too tiring. In Wuyun City, they hired a spacious carriage, bought more than a dozen jars of good wine, prepared a lot of dry food, and then he and Xiao Xiangyue got into the carriage, letting the driver drive towards Wanhua City.

Qin Ren wasn't in a hurry to get going. He instructed the driver to go as slowly as possible, enjoying the spring scenery with his beautiful woman in his arms along the way. It was quite pleasant and comfortable.

Qin Ren rested his head on Xiao Xiangyue's lap. Xiao Xiangyue peeled a crystal grape and fed it to Qin Ren. Then she used her sandalwood mouth to scoop up some fine wine and fed it to Qin Ren mouth to mouth.

Qin Ren, enjoying fruit and fine wine, with a beautiful woman before him and the early spring scenery outside the window, was suddenly inspired and recited, swaying his head: "Grape wine in a luminous cup, I long to drink, but the pipa urges me on; I lie drunk on the fragrant bed, do not laugh, for a beauty will escort me home… What a fine poem, what a fine poem!"

Xiao Xiangyue, hearing Qin Ren recite the maliciously altered poem, exclaimed, "Indeed a fine poem. Did you write this yourself, young master? I never imagined you were not only skilled in martial arts but also so talented in literature." After leaving the pleasure quarters, Qin Ren told Xiao Xiangyue to call him Third Young Master. The title "Young Master" was acceptable for outsiders, but not for family.

Qin Ren blushed. How could he possibly write poetry? He could easily change a famous poem into a bad one, but writing one himself was easier than having a rooster lay an egg. However, judging from Xiao Xiangyue's words, it was clear that poetry culture in the Great Qin Empire was not as flourishing as it had been on his previous life's Earth.

Thinking of this, Qin Ren recited again: "The bright moonlight shines before my bed, two pairs of shoes on the ground; I raise my head to gaze at the bright moon, husband and wife together in bed~~"

Xiao Xiangyue giggled, her pretty face flushed, and said, "Young master, you're so naughty

, always writing such indecent poems." Qin Ren chuckled and said, "Young master, that's all the culture I have. It's quite rare for you to write such lewd poems!"

As the two were talking, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the coachman opened the door and poked his head in: "Young master, a wedding procession has come up on the main road outside, making a lot of noise with music and festivities, blocking the road completely. The carriage can't pass. Do you think we should avoid it?"

When Qin Ren heard that it was a wedding procession, he immediately became interested and said, "Put the carriage to the side of the road. I've never seen a wedding procession before!" The

coachman did as he was told and stopped the carriage to the side of the road. Qin Ren sat up, opened the window, and looked out. He saw a large wedding procession approaching in the distance.

The procession numbered over a hundred people, all adorned in red and green. Musicians played their instruments at the front, firecrackers crackled from both sides, and in the middle carried a large sedan chair by eight burly men, moving with impressive speed and power.

The wedding procession moved quickly, passing by the carriage in no time. Qin Ren nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, quite lively. This is what a wedding should be like. Alright, let's get going."

Just as the coachman was about to start the carriage, Qin Ren glanced back at the passing sedan chair. At that moment, the person inside lifted the curtain, a delicate, snow-white hand gripping the window frame, turning to look at Qin Ren. That one glance struck Qin Ren like a thunderbolt; his mind went blank, and he stood there, mouth agape, unable to move.
