Chapter 193 Rushing to the Tiger

Dynasty After conveying the news that the ancient Netherworld Clan was about to appear in the mortal realm to Hawk III, he was also greatly surprised. Faced with an unknown and powerful enemy, the Hawk Empire actively prepared for war, laying the foundation for future racial wars. After dealing with these matters, we prepared to embark on our journey again. However, when it was time to leave, Alice reluctantly saw us off, and the three women, who had gotten along very well with her during these days, also bid her a tearful farewell, adding a touch of sadness to the journey.

During the journey, the three women finally recovered from their sadness and regained their usual smiles. "Clop clop clop," the sound of the horse's light trotting footsteps extended forward amidst the laughter of the three women.

"Husband, how many more days until we reach the capital of the Tiger Dynasty? I can't wait any longer!" Su Ya nestled in my arms and asked sweetly.

"About two more days?! I know you're eager to see Fast III, the one who wiped out your entire clan, but you have to understand, some things can't be rushed. He won't run away just because he sees you!" To soothe her anxious heart, I said half-jokingly.

"Husband, do you think we can safely kill that old man who killed our whole family?" Although Suya knew I was very powerful, she had never seen my true strength. Going deep into the palace, we would inevitably encounter powerful people, and whether I could escape was a serious question.

Seemingly sensing her unease, I gently patted her small hand and said confidently, "Suya, my darling, your husband is the most powerful man in the world. You must believe that I can avenge you. Besides, with such a beautiful wife at home, how could I die so easily!" As I said this, a wicked smile appeared on my lips, and one of my lecherous hands secretly slipped behind her waist, reaching for her shapely buttocks.

"Hmph, you're always bragging without thinking. One day you won't even know how you died! Uh... where... where are you putting your hands? You're asking for it!" Suya retorted with a huff after hearing my confident words. But before she could react, she felt a tingling sensation on her buttocks. Knowing it was me again, she quickly slapped it, and the crisp, loud "smack" attracted the attention of the two women riding nearby.

"What's wrong, little sister? I just heard a really loud noise. Did your husband bully you again?" Liya looked at me suspiciously, making me quite embarrassed.

"Uh... well, Liya, I just saw a big green bottle fly resting on my wife, Suya, so I accidentally made that loud noise!" I lied without batting an eye, a perfect example of thick-skinnedness.

"Sister, don't listen to his nonsense. This guy isn't comfortable on horseback at all. He's been touching people inappropriately. I just gave him a little punishment!" Suya glanced at me out of the corner of her eye and told Liya.

"Oh, I see!" Liya exclaimed, giving me a deep look. "But, little sister, you threw yourself at me, so you can't blame anyone else! You know your husband's nature... hehe..." As the eldest sister, Liya always maintained her authority, but this sudden display of childlike innocence was quite rare, leaving even me stunned.

"Sister, how could you do this? What kind of sister sends her younger sister into the wolf's den!" Suya ignored her and gently complained to Liya.

"You can't blame me, you like being teased by this big pervert, so I can't help it!" This was Liya being herself, gentle yet lively, the banter between sisters a source of joy.

"You jerk, you stinky husband, who wants to be teased by him! You big pervert, get off the horse! You've embarrassed me in front of all the sisters!" Suya blushed, nudging my chest and playfully scolding me.

"Oh dear, you were calling me 'good husband, good husband' nonstop just now, and now you're calling me a big pervert! If you push me too far, I'll eat you up!" I said with a wicked grin, pretending to be a big bad wolf.

"What's wrong with being a big pervert? That's a pretty nice name. Want me to give you an even 'prettier' name?" Su Ya whispered in my ear, her breath sweet as orchids.

"Uh... well... never mind, a good man doesn't fight with a bad woman. Can't I just run away?" My figure vanished from my horse in an instant. Su Ya was caught off guard and almost fell backward. Luckily, she kicked off with her feet, preventing her from embarrassing herself.

"Big pervert, you bastard, you jerk... you disappeared without a word, trying to take my life!" Although she was alright, Su Ya was quite resentful, muttering and shouting.

Seeing Su Ya's somewhat disheveled appearance, the two women beside her couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle. At that moment, neither of them noticed my figure gradually stretching out in Xu'er's arms. It wasn't until Xu'er felt a slight pressure on her full breasts that she realized I had suddenly appeared in her embrace.

"You... ah, how... how could you do this!" Xu'er gasped slightly, enduring the tingling sensation in her chest, and asked in surprise.

"What, aren't you welcoming me? My wife Xu'er, you smell so good!" I rubbed my face against her full breasts, wrapped my arms around her slender waist, and chuckled.

"No... don't do this, the two older sisters are watching, no... don't do this, ah..." Xu'er was still as sensitive as ever. Before my hands had even moved a few times, she was already panting heavily, almost dropping the rope in her hands.

Xu'er's strange scream woke the two women nearby. When they saw me nestled in Xu'er's arms, taking advantage of her, they were furious. Su Ya even swerved her horse around and, while I was still lost in Xu'er's embrace, forcefully pulled my head up.

"Ouch, let go... let go! You're about to twist my ear off!" At this point, I was no longer enjoying myself; the excruciating pain made me beg Su Ya for mercy.

"Hmph, you really haven't changed, have you? You even stole a kiss from Xu'er. Xu'er, what do you say we do? You rascal, get over here!" Seeing that I seemed to be struggling, Su Ya reverted to her witch-like nature, tightly gripping my ear and yelling.

"Su Ya, my wife, please... please don't do this. There are too many people around; you have to give me some face. Let go of my hand, okay?" Seeing the strange looks from passersby, I pleaded in a low voice.

"Hmph, don't you always say that you should be brave enough to admit your mistakes? Now I want you to apologize to Sister Xu'er, are you willing?" Su Ya still twisted my ear hard, insisting that I admit my mistake before she would let go.

Seeing me wince from the twist, Xu'er seemed to feel a pang of pity and whispered to Su Ya, "Sister, I..."

Before Xu'er could finish speaking, Su Ya waved her hand to stop her, saying, "Sister Xu'er, don't say anything. You might feel sorry for me, but I won't. This rascal always flirts with others regardless of the place or time. If he doesn't learn his lesson, he won't repent!"

"What! Have I done anything bad? It's just touching you, and besides, you're both my wives. Isn't it normal for a husband to take advantage of his wife?" I retorted.

"I... I'm not your wife!" Xu'er was greatly embarrassed when she heard me say that she was my wife, and hurriedly defended herself.

"Still denying it? You've already touched me, kissed me, if you're not my wife, then who is?" As I spoke, one of my hands had already climbed up her breasts, provocatively employing various flirtatious techniques. Xu'er was terrified and kept shrinking back, but every time she dodged, I could always find her. The tingling sensation from her breasts made her suppressed voice utter a few soft moans, which were incredibly alluring.

"You rascal, haven't you bullied Xu'er enough?" Su Ya saw that I was still incredibly cunning even under her ear-twisting, and couldn't help but increase the pressure of her hand, using this as punishment.

"Ouch, my god, it hurts... it hurts so much, Su Ya... Su Ya, my good wife, please let me go, please..." At this moment, I dared not be glib anymore, abandoning my pride, and begged her for mercy.

"Get out of Xu'er's arms!" Hearing Su Ya's command, I reluctantly crawled out of Xu'er's fragrant embrace and jumped onto Su Ya's horse. I had originally planned to take this opportunity to grope her again, but Su Ya seemed to understand my thoughts and forcefully twisted my ear, forcing me to abandon my erotic plan. However, the erotic actions just now made me swallow hard, and saliva had unknowingly seeped from the corner of my mouth.

Lost in my sweet dream, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my waist and felt a little annoyed: Who dares to disturb my sweet dream? I was about to turn around and scold them when I realized where I was. I quickly put on a smiling face and said, "Su Ya, my wife, now you should let me go!"

"Ugh, disgusting. Please, don't drool in your daydream, okay?" Su Ya felt disgusted when she saw the traces of saliva still on the corner of my mouth.

"Hehe...hehe..." I glanced back at Xu'er's firm, full breasts out of the corner of my eye, swallowed hard, and grinned foolishly.

"Hmph, what filthy things are you thinking about now? Confess!" Su Ya slapped me on the shoulder from behind, startling me so much that I almost bit my tongue off. The pain still lingered in my mind.

"Wife, could you at least let me know before you slap me from behind? I was so scared I almost bit my tongue off!" I turned around, facing the smiling Su Ya, and said with a wry smile.

"Hmph, serves you right! Who told you to always have such filthy thoughts in your head? You're lucky your tongue wasn't bitten off!" Su Ya's face changed instantly, and she snorted, saying irritably.

"What! Why is my life so miserable, to have such a heartless wife!" To gain the three women's sympathy, I pretended to cry. When I looked at Su Ya, she seemed to be gloating. When I looked at Liya and Xu'er, Liya seemed to sense something and glared at me, as if blaming me for being presumptuous. But Xu'er didn't even give me a chance to turn around and look at her, which made me quite frustrated. I even blamed myself for being so bad at acting that even the woman I loved didn't approve.

My performance time was over, and I seemed somewhat unwilling to give up. I stood up, forgetting that I was still on horseback. Although the horse wasn't going very fast, it still caught me off guard. With a "thud," I fell flat on my face, landing on my stomach. The three women on horseback, seeing my embarrassing moment, couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.

Luckily, the ground was relatively soft, with nothing hard, but falling off my horse in front of my beloved women was still quite awkward. After spitting out the sand in my mouth with a few "pffts," I looked up and saw the three women's trembling bodies turned to the side. I knew they must be amused by my fall, but afraid of my scolding, they had to suppress their laughter. Unfortunately, I didn't appreciate their kindness. After brushing the sand off myself, I said irritably, "What are you laughing at? Didn't you see the handsome guy fall off his horse? Isn't it a pleasing sight to see my dashing, elegant, and beautiful man fall off his horse?"

"Hahaha..." The three women could no longer contain their laughter and burst out laughing without any ladylike manners at my words. Luckily, there weren't many pedestrians on the road at this time, otherwise, seeing several beautiful women laughing so unceremoniously would have been quite a shock!

"I...I didn't expect my...husband to be...so...humorous, it's really...unbelievable!" Su Ya's image was the most unladylike at this moment, but her honest behavior showed that she didn't like to keep anything to herself, except for that one thing, of course.

"Laugh, still laughing? Laugh at your big heads! The husband is making a fool of himself, and the wives are laughing their heads off. I really don't know how we ended up together!" Faced with the three women's unrestrained laughter, I could only helplessly retort.

"You can't blame them, it's all because you're so funny. We were amused without even realizing it!" Liya was still rubbing her sore stomach from laughing, and said with a light reproach. "

Honestly, I don't think what I said was funny at all. It seems you all just wanted to see me make a fool of myself!" I came to this conclusion from the three women's laughter, which should be considered a reasonable explanation!

"Hmph, you're the kind of person who judges others with a petty mind. You're beyond reason!" Suya was dissatisfied with my misunderstanding and snorted.

"Forget it, let's not talk to him anymore. He seems like a powder keg that could explode at any moment. Let's just chat, the three of us sisters!" Liya pulled Suya over, glared at me, and said with some dissatisfaction. It seems my words just now hurt the three girls' pride. They're ignoring me, seemingly trying to calm me down.

Unfortunately, I can't calm down right now. They say I'm like a powder keg ready to explode, which is quite frustrating. Am I really that short-tempered? Every time we play around, I'm the one who gets scolded and ends up with bruises all over my body. I've never gotten the better of them. And now, I've only said something I shouldn't have, and they're all ignoring me. What... what's going on?!

I'm frustrated, extremely frustrated. In desperation, I thought I should listen to their thoughts, but instead, the three girls are whispering about something else entirely. This is something I didn't expect!

"Little sister Xu'er, I always see you as cold and aloof. But today, seeing you smile, and smile so happily, so naturally, so beautifully, makes me so happy!" Liya said joyfully, holding Xu'er's hands.

"Sister Liya, please don't say that. Actually, I didn't want to become like that either, but if the circumstances hadn't allowed me to close my heart, perhaps I wouldn't be standing safely before you today. Thinking back on that terrifying training, I'll probably never forget it for the rest of my life!" As she spoke, Xu'er's legs involuntarily trembled. It seemed that the hellish training had instilled not only physical tremors but also mental ones in her.

"But then again, without that hellish training, I wouldn't have become Her Majesty's personal bodyguard, nor would I have met you all!" The trembling and fear seemed to have receded from her, and with a soft laugh, she blossomed like a beautiful crabapple flower, stunning even me, who was eavesdropping nearby.

"Xu'er, you should smile more. Don't let gloom fill your heart. Only purity can reveal your true self!" I said sincerely from the side.

"Uh... Honey, who told you to eavesdrop on our conversation? Everyone has their own privacy. Even if we're your wives, you have to respect us!" Suya agreed with me, but she was extremely unhappy about my eavesdropping.

"How can you blame me? You were all talking so loudly, anyone could hear you. Besides, my hearing is different from most people's; it would be strange if I didn't hear what you were saying!" I said loudly, seemingly to cover up my embarrassment.

"Really? Sis, were we talking loudly just now? I didn't think so!" Suya looked at Liya with a questioning gaze and asked.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, I..." Before Leah could finish speaking, I deliberately coughed a few times and laughed, "Uh... well, we're almost at the border of the Tiger Dynasty. To avoid revealing our identities, let's change our clothes, shall we?"

"Ah? So soon!" Suya shaded her eyes with her hand, tiptoed, and looked into the distance. Sure enough, a city gleaming in the distance caught her attention. Looking at the towering and majestic city walls, she was 200% certain that this was the Tiger Dynasty's first fortress against the outside world—the Houston Grand Fortress. After passing through this grand fortress, our chances of entering the imperial city would be much greater.

"You were right, we've arrived at the Houston Fortress so quickly. I heard it's guarded by Grand Marshal Feng Tianxiang, known as the 'Polar Fox' of the continent, an impregnable fortress, the 'Sun Never Sets' Fortress of the Fierce Tiger Dynasty. Getting through this fortress won't be easy!" Xu'er, being more experienced, looked at the gleaming city walls in the distance and said with concern.

"That's why I told you to change your clothes quickly; it will greatly help us infiltrate the fortress!" I took out several already folded Fierce Tiger Dynasty outfits from my dimensional space and gestured.

"My husband is so thoughtful!" Su Ya dismounted, leaped into my arms, wrapped her arms around my neck, gave me a big kiss, and happily took the outfit from my hands. But I seemed unsatisfied. I stretched out my hands holding the outfit, glanced at Liya and Xu'er, and gestured towards them, my intention quite clear. This obvious hint made Xu'er's face flush red instantly, while Liya, already used to my shamelessness, didn't mind. However, when they took the clothes from me, they didn't offer me any encouragement, which made me quite resentful. Unfortunately, three women make a drama, and I, a man, couldn't compete with them. I had no choice but to swallow my bitterness and bear the blame for all the bad luck. This was probably the punishment from heaven for having so many beauties around me.

The clothes were distributed, and the three women frowned as they held the three sets of clothes, seemingly expressing their dissatisfaction with the roughness of the garments. However, one sentence from me dispelled their thoughts. I explained from the side, "We're not going to the Fierce Tiger Dynasty for sightseeing. Wearing such flashy clothes into the city will attract attention. Also, we need to change our appearance before entering the city so no one will suspect us. This will be very helpful for us to gather information!"

"But we don't know how to disguise ourselves, Xu'er. As the leader of the Shadow Force, you should know how to disguise yourself, right?" Su Ya voiced her doubts.

"Uh... I... I don't know how to disguise myself. My master only taught me assassination and shadow-遁 (Shadow Escape) techniques, not disguise!" Xu'er said somewhat ashamed in response to Su Ya's question.

"Don't worry, disguise is a piece of cake for me. Don't worry, hurry up and change your clothes. We're almost at the fortress." I said with a smile, feeling smug.

"Uh... why aren't you changing your clothes? Hurry up, time waits for no one!" I urged from the side.

"How are we supposed to change clothes in this middle of nowhere?! And with you, you big pervert, spying on us, we're worried!" Su Ya spoke for the other two women, expressing their concerns about changing clothes.

"Okay, okay, okay, isn't that easy? I'll cast an invisibility barrier, then no one can see you. The three of you can work together to create another barrier, and even if I spy, it'll take me a while. You should be able to change your clothes in that time!" Realizing my hopes of spying had been dashed, I could only helplessly offer them advice.

"Honey, you're so great! We originally wanted you to make a barrier for us, but your method is even better. It also eliminates the pervert's spying. Thank you, hehe..." Su Ya left a wet kiss on my cheek, then cheerfully created a barrier with the two women and began changing clothes inside.

Only I, covering my face where she had kissed me, looked bewildered. Suddenly, I slammed my fist on my head and cursed, "Damn it, I was so clever! I was so clever!" A golden opportunity to spy was once placed before me, but because of my cleverness, I didn't cherish it. Only when I lost it did I feel deep regret. If God could give me another chance, I would definitely say: Let me do it again! (

Chapter 194 of the "Storm of the Wind and Clouds" series, Fortress Spy (Part 1))

The three women's barrier finally disappeared. The three women, now dressed in rough clothes, had rather strange looks in their eyes. However, seeing me pounding my chest in frustration because of my cleverness, their eyes began to fill with laughter. They seemed to understand why I was stamping my feet and sighing. Their laughter spread across their pretty faces, but to avoid embarrassing me too much, they could only cover their mouths and giggle, thus maintaining both propriety and politeness.

The clothes worn by the three women were indeed quite rough, but even the roughest clothes couldn't hide their unparalleled beauty. Moreover, the design of the women's clothing in the Fierce Tiger Dynasty seemed to emphasize the curves of women even more. The rows of tightly fastened buttons at the chest made their breasts appear even higher and more prominent, making even me swallow hard. Xu'er's breasts, disproportionate to her age, were particularly prominent under the tight clothing, towering above all others, even surpassing Su Ya's in comparison.

"What kind of clothes are these? They feel so awkward and uncomfortable!" Su Ya tugged at the front and back of her clothes, tilting her head back to check if the clothes fit properly.

"Hehe, they look quite nice. Come on, let me check if they fit you." As I spoke, I pulled Su Ya over, my hands roaming over her body, especially her full breasts and alluringly shapely buttocks.

"Hmph, get your lecherous hands off me, will you? You're not helping me check if the clothes fit, you're just taking advantage of me!" Su Ya, feeling a tingling sensation all over from my touching, breathed heavily and slapped my hands away, saying irritably.

"Hehehe, what are you talking about? I'm just checking carefully for you." I reached out to touch her body again, but a pair of slender hands blocked my way.

"Hmph, do you think I don't know what kind of wicked thoughts you're up to?" Su Ya snorted and slapped my hands away again, walking towards Liya and Xu'er.

"Sister, Xu'er, could you help me check if the clothes fit? I feel like they look weird on me!" Su Ya said to Liya and Xu'er in a coquettish tone.

"Hmm, you're right, I also feel like these clothes look strange on me, I was just thinking of asking you for your opinions!" Liya agreed wholeheartedly.

"Okay, okay, sister, little sister Xu'er, let me take a look first. It's making me uncomfortable to have that pervert looking at me!" Su Ya pouted her red lips and said irritably.

"Little sister, I saw you enjoying your husband's service just now. Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Li Ya teased with a smile.

"Sister, don't talk about me like that. Who knew that bastard would touch me inappropriately while helping me look at clothes? I should have known better than to ask him for help!" Su Ya complained, adding fuel to the fire, as if she had a bottle of oil hanging from her mouth.

"Hey, hey, hey, Su Ya, how can you say that about me? I was just trying to help you take a good look, but I didn't expect you to see me as such a filthy person. Do you really think I'm that kind of person?" I couldn't help but retort when I heard Su Ya criticizing me.

"Aren't you that kind of person? Every time you meet a beautiful woman, you try to touch her inappropriately. Getting on the boat first and buying the ticket later is probably your usual way of seducing girls!" Su Ya retorted, then poured out her jealousy.

"Uh, don't portray me so crudely, okay? Ask yourselves honestly, have I been good to each and every one of you? If you wanted the stars in the sky, I would pluck them down for you without hesitation. If you wanted to realize your dreams, I would make them come true for you one by one. Isn't that enough? I've divided my heart equally among you, without discrimination. Isn't that enough for you? Although I consider myself romantic, think carefully, when have I ever wronged you? I've given you meticulous care. When you cry, I cry with you; when you laugh, I laugh with you; when you're happy, I'm happy with you. Whenever you're upset, just take it out on me." "I've never resisted your venting, but have you ever considered my feelings? I'm a man, a man with a strong sense of male chauvinism. I don't ask for your respect at home, but can't you spare me a little respect in public? When my wife pinches my ear, I can see it as intimacy between us, but what about others? In their eyes, I'm a coward, a henpecked husband, lacking any manly spirit. How am I supposed to stand in the eyes of the world?!" I roared hysterically, as if venting all the pent-up resentment.

The three women, who had never seen me so angry before, were stunned by my unusual expression and the childlike tone of my voice. They never imagined that so much discontent was hidden beneath my seemingly happy smile. After I finished venting, Liya, with tears in her eyes, hugged my waist and murmured, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I never thought you had such a vulnerable side, even with your strength. We were so focused on winning your favor that we forgot about a man's pride and sense of face. On behalf of all the sisters, I say to you: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, husband. Your dissatisfaction is a spur to us. We will try our best to correct ourselves and build a truly harmonious home of our own." As she spoke, she, who rarely cried, began to sob. She felt guilty for not considering her husband's feelings as the eldest among the sisters, and regretted not knowing me well enough.

"I'm sorry, I was rude. I feel much better after venting. Liya, Suya, Xu'er, I made you suffer." I gently embraced the three women, expressing my apology.

"There's no need for apologies or thanks! Today I realized how close our hearts are!" Liya murmured, tears still glistening in her eyes, her head resting on my chest.

"Me too, honey, I feel so close to you today, so very close. We didn't know you at all before!" Su Ya hugged my waist tightly, speaking involuntarily.

"So, you weren't really attracted to me before, but rather by my charm!" Sensing the slightly tense atmosphere, I said half-jokingly.

"What?! I don't think you're that charming at all. You're just lucky!" Su Ya lightly patted my chest, saying irritably. "

Okay, okay, okay, I admit I'm not very charming, alright? But to have all of you beautiful women throwing yourselves at me, I'd die happy," I nodded and smiled, sighing.

Unfortunately, before I could finish speaking, a fragrant little hand covered my mouth, and Lia's voice rang in my ear: "Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! Why are you saying such unlucky things? Who wants you to die? We still hope you can grow old with us, hand in hand watching the sunset!"

Lia's anxious and slightly reproachful tone warmed my heart. I couldn't help but stroke her soft, long hair and replied, "Yes, how can I be willing to die if you don't die? I still want to live a long and healthy life with you, as long as heaven and earth!"

"Alright, alright, sister, husband, can you please stop using the word 'die' all the time? We're in the prime of our youth now. Unless heaven and earth are jealous, we won't die so easily! Hehe." Su Ya's gloomy mood came and went quickly. Reverting to her little devilish personality, she was nestled in my arms, drawing circles on my chest.

“That’s true. After all this talk, the Houston Fortress is getting closer and closer. I’ll use my disguise magic on you first, then we’ll go into the city together!” I released my grip on their slender waists and said with a smile.

“Okay, okay, honey, I don’t want you to turn me into an ugly monster. Just look normal, okay? If you don’t do it to my satisfaction, I’ll beat you up!” Suya raised her little pink fist and waved it at me, her voice laced with threat.

“Okay, okay, okay, I promise I’ll make you look normal until you’re satisfied, alright, little witch!” I pretended to be scared and took two steps back, laughing as I called out.

“You’re not allowed to call me little witch! I don’t look like a little witch at all!” Suya seemed unhappy with my way of addressing her, punching my chest twice and pouting her red lips.

“Fine, fine, I won’t call you that then. Looks like I’ll just call you baby!” Unable to resist her provocative actions, I could only reply with a wry smile.

"That's more like it!" Suya seemed very happy, tiptoeing to kiss me on the cheek.

After applying the makeup, three extremely ordinary-looking women appeared before me. To avoid looking too ugly, Suya used water magic to create a water mirror to see if her current appearance suited her.

"Hmm, not bad, barely passable!" Suya touched her nose, eyes, and face, offering her opinion.

"That's good enough. Let's head to the fortress!" In an instant, my face changed, and an ordinary-looking young man appeared before the three women.

"Honey, your disguise seems different! It's different from the one you used on us earlier!" Suya exclaimed in surprise when she saw me transform into someone else in an instant. "

This is shapeshifting magic, a higher level than disguise. If you want to learn, I can teach you, but now is not the time. Let's go!" I pulled the three women along and headed towards the fortress not far away.

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

At the gates of the Houston Grand Fortress, an ordinary-looking young man led three plain-looking women into the city. The soldiers standing guard on either side seemed oblivious, letting them pass. Suddenly, a sharp shout of "Halt!" came from behind, startling the man and three women into stopping in their tracks, their legs trembling. A young officer wearing a tasseled hat stepped out from behind them. His handsome face, however, was intimidating because of the occasional flashes of sinister intent in his eyes; no one dared to meet his gaze.

"Sir, what brings you here?" the young man asked respectfully, his voice trembling.

"Who are these three women to you?" The sinister officer sensed something amiss with the women, but couldn't quite put his finger on it, resorting instead to intimidation. This was understandable; while disguise could alter their appearance, their inherent aura could not be concealed, so it was no wonder the officer was suspicious.

"Reporting to the officer, these three are all my wives. Have you taken a fancy to one of them? I can offer her to you!" The Fierce Tiger Dynasty is a country with open customs; men can exchange wives without violating imperial law. I had inquired with Sister Shui before coming, hence this statement.

"Hmph, do you think I, the officer, would accept such looks? Although that one has a nice figure with ample breasts and a shapely bottom, she's too ugly. She's repulsive. Better not to have her!" The officer greedily scanned Xu'er's high breasts and shapely buttocks, saying regretfully.

"Yes, yes, how could my wives be worthy of the handsome and dashing officer! The woman the officer loves must be a beauty that could topple kingdoms!" I flattered, shamelessly praising her.

The officer, flattered by my compliments, completely forgot about the differences between the three women. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "Good, very good. If you need anything in the future, just come to me. I'll try my best to help you. Aren't you going into the city? Go on in!"

"Thank you, General Xie! Thank you, General Xie! I will never forget your kindness!" His flattery before leaving pleased him greatly, and he waved us away.

In an open space, a man and three women sat panting on the ground.

"That scared me to death! I almost couldn't get into this fortress!" I said, patting my chest, still shaken.

"And you're right! That guy's eyes were disgusting, they gave me goosebumps, and he was leering at people's private parts! Didn't you stop him?" Xu'er blushed slightly and complained.

"Xu'er, don't say that. Actually, I didn't want to do that either, but you have to understand, we were pretending to be a poor couple. Without status, could we possibly rebel? It would arouse suspicion!" I calmed myself and said earnestly.

"Hmph, it seems you don't care about me at all! You really are a shameless man who forgets his principles for the sake of a woman!" Xu'er said angrily, annoyed that I didn't care about her.

"Hmm, Xu'er, it seems you're complaining to your husband. Don't be like that. He actually cares about you a lot. If that lecherous guy had asked you for something, he would have definitely shown his true colors and saved you. He couldn't bear to see you suffer from others' accusations!" Su Ya couldn't help but defend me when she saw Xu'er's angry expression.

Seeing the angry look on Xu'er's face, I was not surprised but delighted. I thought Xu'er didn't care about me at all. Now she finally remembered that I was a man she could rely on!

"Yes, Xu'er, you saw what happened back then. Even I felt disgusted by your husband's lewd appearance, but we still got through it, didn't we?" Li Ya quickly added, seeing Xu'er puffing out her cheeks in anger.

With the encouragement of the two sisters, Liya and her sister, the anger lingering in Xu'er's heart gradually subsided. She glared at me and snorted, "Consider yourself lucky to have two older sisters helping you out!"

After this little interlude, the three girls and I agreed to find a guesthouse to stay in first. Although there was a branch of the Dream Restaurant in the area, our sudden move in would attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives. To avoid this, we had to resort to this measure.

After some searching and inquiries, we finally found a shop that was willing to sell independent courtyards and paid a hefty price for a room in a nice courtyard. The place was filled with green fir trees, lush grass, vibrant flowers, and singing birds. The environment was so pleasant that we felt as if we were traveling rather than gathering information.

However, the environment did not corrupt our minds. The four of us disagreed on whether or not to go to the Marshal's Mansion at the fortress to gather information.

"Alright, we've finally found a place to stay." I breathed a sigh of relief, then my expression turned serious. "It's time to go and cause trouble for Feng Tianxiang. After all, he's someone who knew about that tragedy back then!"

"No, don't! You won't be able to find out anything now. As the Grand Marshal of the dynasty, there must be many hidden guardians around his mansion. Although I know you're strong, you can't fight against so many people. This is not even a battle of equals. I don't want our relationship as sisters to make things difficult for you!" Liya pleaded, contrary to her usual self. The unforgettable fear of watching her own father die one blow at the hands of pursuers made her indecisive and unwilling to let her beloved go to his death.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. You have to trust your husband's strength!" I put my arm around her slender waist, as if I didn't care about the matter.

"But, the Grand Marshal's mansion is full of traps and conspiracies. How can I be at ease?" Liya seemed unable to find an excuse, but she still couldn't help worrying about me.

"Hahaha, what kind of person am I, your husband? What can a mere trap do to me?" With a burst of laughter, the aura hidden within me erupted, a domineering, world-destroying power that seemed to weigh heavily on the hearts of the three women, making it difficult for them to breathe.

That domineering aura came and went quickly; perhaps I hadn't even noticed it, but seeing the relief on their pale faces, it was easy to see the sheer strength of that aura.

"Such a powerful aura! Is this your true strength? Just a mere aura is enough to immobilize them. If you were to fight with your true power, what would the outcome be?" Xu'er, oblivious to the cold sweat beading on her forehead, muttered to herself.

After the oppressive force of that aura, Liya knew she had lost the power to restrain my words. Nothing could stop me from acting towards my target, because I had already proven my strength to them. Actions were always more practical than empty words!

"Husband, I know there's nothing I can do to stop you from doing this. I just hope that after you learn the truth about that matter, you won't hurt him, okay?" Seeing that her persuasion was ineffective, Liya lowered her guard and said.

"How could I refuse my darling Liya's request? Don't worry, wait for my good news!" I kissed her pale forehead and replied with a smile. Immediately afterward, a white light emanated from my body, and I disappeared before the three women's eyes.

Chapter 195 of the Storm Riders: Fortress Spy (Part 2)

The Houston Grand Fortress was much smaller in scale and less precipitous than the Brest Grand Fortress of the Fire Dance Duchy. Feng Tianxiang's Marshal's Mansion stood in the center of Spring Water City, surrounded by fortresses. Feng Tianxiang's Marshal's Mansion was luxuriously constructed, with pavilions, terraces, and flowing water. Long, winding corridors seemed to whisper of its immense size, while the glittering pearls adorning the pavilions added a touch of grandeur. Although this castle-

like mansion stood in the city center, there wasn't a single house within a hundred meters of it. This was a protective measure implemented by the Fierce Tiger Dynasty to ensure the Grand Marshal's safety. The numerous traps and hidden sentries within further guaranteed the safety of Feng Tianxiang and his family. Under such tight security, where even a mosquito couldn't get through, who would dare assassinate this renowned general? Besides, although Lian Po was old, his ambition remained, and his martial arts skills hadn't diminished. Under such protection, Feng Tianxiang must have lived a peaceful and happy life.

However, no one expected that Feng Tianxiang's life here was far from happy. The tragedy of twenty years ago was still vivid in his mind, constantly haunting his dreams, and those familiar faces were etched into his heart, impossible to shake off. Approaching forty, he felt like a canary trapped in a magnificent cage, utterly devoid of freedom, let alone the power he held. Ostensibly for protection, but in reality, it was house arrest—a profound tragedy for Feng Tianxiang as Grand Marshal. But the Fierce Tiger Dynasty had no other choice. For a renowned general who had been famous across the continent for decades, house arrest was far more effective than killing him. After all, his reputation was extremely high throughout the continent; executing him unjustly would incite a nationwide riot.

Why did the Fierce Tiger Dynasty disregard his status and choose to house arrest him? This was something the Fierce Tiger Dynasty greatly feared. As the closest relative to the Hades family, his daughter-in-law was not only a daughter of the Hades family, but he himself was also a very close friend of Moke, the former patriarch of the Hades family. The Hades family suffered such a tragedy while Feng Tianxiang was away on campaign. By the time he learned the details, the Hades family had vanished from the continent, and it was too late. Fast III, determined to eliminate any future threat, exterminated the entire Hades clan, leaving only Feng Tianxiang's daughter-in-law unharmed. The Hades family's demise and Feng Tianxiang's campaign seemed like mere coincidence. But was it truly a coincidence? The astute Feng Tianxiang naturally understood that it was no coincidence, but a scheme secretly orchestrated by Fast III to deal with the Hades family. All officers close to the Hades family were promoted in name only, transferred away from their territory, in preparation for Fast III's impending conspiracy.

Old Moke, a family that is too ostentatious is the most taboo thing for a monarch. Overshadowing the ruler's achievements is a phrase every monarch avoids. And Old Moke, it seems you are completely oblivious. From the nation's perspective, you are a loyal minister who dares to speak frankly; however, from His Majesty's perspective, you appear too illustrious, making His Majesty's position as emperor seem much less prominent. People say serving a monarch is like serving a tiger. Have you, so wise, become increasingly senile with age? Don't you know how to temper your brilliance? It all seems too late. A once powerful and glorious family has finally perished due to the monarch's jealousy. As the patriarch of the Hades family, are you filled with remorse in the afterlife? Feng Tianxiang thought to himself.

At this moment, Feng Tianxiang, who had been facing away from the hall door, finally turned around, sighed softly, and sat down again in the grand chair placed in the center of the hall. Although it was only a fleeting glance, I, hidden in the shadows, clearly saw his face: a head of white hair piled high on his head, his weathered, aged face bearing the marks of time, subtly hinting at an unspeakable melancholy. His slightly yellowed eyes occasionally flashed with a sharp light, seemingly indicating that although this old man was nearing forty, the power he represented was not diminished and could not be ignored. A few streaks of uneven black and white beard adorned his thin, pointed chin, adding to his aged appearance and the passage of time.

Feng Tianxiang lay on the armchair with his eyes slightly closed, his hands resting on his chest, seemingly unaffected by anything that could interrupt his soaring thoughts. No one would have imagined that this old man was subtly balancing the military power of the Fierce Tiger Dynasty. Although his military power was gradually diminishing, everyone knew that his potential influence was not insignificant; a single move could have far-reaching consequences, something beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Suddenly, light and graceful footsteps echoed in the hall. A woman with a dignified appearance, bearing a resemblance to the Liya sisters, placed a steaming cup of ginseng tea on the tea table beside Feng Tianxiang. After placing it there, a complex glint flashed in the woman's eyes. She stood beside him and softly said, "Father, please have some ginseng tea to warm yourself up!" Although she was nearing forty, her voice was still so pleasant and clear, making it impossible to tell that it belonged to her.

"Hmm," Feng Tianxiang, reclining in the armchair, responded softly. He then sat up, picked up the lukewarm ginseng tea, took a sip, and then, as if remembering something, put down the teacup. Looking at the woman standing beside him, he said kindly, "Leier, you've worked so hard all these years, taking care of this old man and those good-for-nothing children and grandchildren! If it weren't for you, we can hardly imagine having the courage to live in this seemingly prison-like Marshal's Mansion. Twenty years, twenty years! We've been imprisoned for a full twenty years! You've suffered so much following us!" His heartfelt sigh seemed to convey the desolation and sorrow in his words.

"Father, please don't say that. If you hadn't protected me, Leier wouldn't have survived until now. I would probably be a wandering ghost in time, drifting aimlessly. How could I be alive in this world now!" Hearing Feng Tianxiang's sigh, the woman felt a pang of sorrow in her heart, and tears streamed down her face.

"What a tragic fate, what a tragic fate! It's a miracle the Hades family has produced a daughter like you; old Moke is glad he knows this in the afterlife." Recalling his old friend's past, Feng Tianxiang sighed deeply.

"Father, it's all because of Lei'er. If it weren't for this, you wouldn't be in this state. I'm so sorry, 555..." Thinking of the Hades family's tragic fate and those implicated, the woman's grief deepened. Although twenty years had passed, the horrific scene remained vivid in her mind: limbs flying, blood splattering in the sky. A once-powerful family on the continent perished due to the king's suspicion, leaving the world with a stark warning.

"Foolish child, how can this be your fault? You're middle-aged now, a mother of three. Why are you still crying like a child!" Feng Tianxiang stood up, affectionately wiping away her tears with his withered hand, comforting her.

"But if it weren't for me, Father wouldn't have been imprisoned by His Majesty for twenty years. Lei'er is so sorry!" The woman said agitatedly, seemingly filled with remorse.

"That's not true. Even without you, he would have come for me sooner or later. With such power in his hands, how could he not care about me? He sent us away to defeat us one by one, so in the end, we couldn't escape our fate!" Recalling all the things she had done for him, Feng Tianxiang felt a surge of emotions and sneered.

"But—" Before the woman could finish speaking, Feng Tianxiang waved his hand to stop her, saying with a hint of anger, "Lei'er, don't take all the blame on yourself, okay? You've suffered so much these past years, do you think I don't know? Don't say anything more, just focus on managing your emotions, and take good care of yourself. That's how you honor our ancestors!"

"Father—" the woman called out, hesitant to finish.

"Don't say anything, just let me sit quietly for a while, okay?" Feng Tianxiang's weathered face seemed to have gained a few more lines, and his eyes slowly closed again, his request for the woman to leave being the clearest indication of his intention.

The woman seemed to know his temperament as well, paused for a moment, and turned to walk into the inner room. But just as she stepped across the threshold, she suddenly turned her head and said, "Father, I want to go and see our family cemetery!"

"No!" The previously silent Feng Tianxiang suddenly jumped up, his movements as agile as someone of his age. He opened his eyes angrily and roared at the woman, "No! Absolutely not! Even though twenty years have passed, as long as he's alive, your life is in danger at any moment. Listen to me, never step out of the mansion, okay?"

The woman had never seen Feng Tianxiang with such an expression before. She was startled, seemingly frightened. Once Feng Tianxiang returned to normal, she meekly replied, "Yes, Father!" and then fled into the inner room.

Feng Tianxiang's expression didn't seem to relax. With his back to the hall door, his face stern, he coldly said, "Friend, have you heard enough? Don't hide like a rat in a hole!" While he was talking to the woman, he had vaguely sensed a faint presence, but to prevent the hidden person from discovering him, he deliberately sent his daughter-in-law away, waiting for the person to reveal himself.

"Old Master Feng is indeed as vigorous as ever, discovering my presence so quickly. Truly worthy of the title 'Polar Fox'!" Feng Tianxiang only saw a flash before his eyes, and an ordinary-looking man appeared before him, the hearty laughter emanating from his lips.

Feng Tianxiang was secretly alarmed. This seemingly ordinary young man seemed extraordinary. That air of someone who had long commanded others was all too familiar to him, and his appearance was so strange, he hadn't even seen him clearly. He seemed to be a formidable opponent. However, Feng Tianxiang was Feng Tianxiang; he would never back down in the face of adversity. He maintained his cold expression and asked, "May I ask who you are? What business do you have with this old man? Judging from your young age and accent, you don't seem to be a local!"

"Old Master Feng's insight is indeed sharp, discerning me from the outside world at a glance. Impressive indeed!" Instead of denying Feng Tianxiang's question, he retorted with praise.

"It seems you're not here to praise this old man, are you? Please speak frankly about your intentions!" Feng Tianxiang didn't show any particular expression in response to my praise, simply replying calmly.

"Hehe, since Elder Feng has said so, I, as a junior, will speak frankly. However, before that, let me reveal my true form first, lest Elder Feng misunderstand!" As soon as I finished speaking, the muscles in my face slowly began to move, and a moment later, a handsome face appeared before Feng Tianxiang.

Feng Tianxiang was secretly shocked. He hadn't expected this young man to have such a hidden trick up his sleeve, even fooling him. With his own cultivation techniques, no disguise could escape his divine eyes, so why couldn't he see through this young man's true form? Moreover, in all his experience, he had never seen anyone transform their face by altering facial muscles. Wasn't this a disguise technique?

While Feng Tianxiang was still in shock, I smiled slightly and said calmly, "It seems Old Master Feng is frightened by my appearance. Am I really that unsightly?" I had to admit I was skilled and daring to joke at this moment.

"Hehe, young man, you truly surprise this old man. With your skills and unpredictable facial expressions, killing me would be a piece of cake, hehe." Feng Tianxiang carefully examined me from head to toe. Seeing the righteous aura emanating from me, his worried heart relaxed, and he couldn't help but reply.

Sensing his relaxed expression, I couldn't help but admire his quick reaction, knowing I meant him no harm. However, I didn't intend to give up so easily. After all, I had come seeking answers with the hopes of the two women; I couldn't go back empty-handed without asking anything. So I said very solemnly, "Marshal Feng, I don't want to waste any more words with you. I just want to know the whole story of the Hades family's demise, and I hope you can tell me the truth!" My tone, sincere yet threatening, was aimed entirely at this once-powerful Grand Marshal.

Upon hearing this, Feng Tianxiang was greatly shocked. A young man of unknown origin actually wanted to inquire about the causes and consequences of the Hades family's demise—it was simply unbelievable. He smiled, a thought flashing through his mind, "Young man, how do you know I know these things? Aren't you afraid I'll tell you false information?"

"No, with Grandpa Feng's upright and honest character, he wouldn't stoop to such a thing! How could a Grand Marshal renowned throughout the continent do something so foolish?" Judging from his previous behavior, I could say with certainty that I understood his temperament, and answered directly.

"Oh, young man, you're quite confident! Judging from your very nature, you're no ordinary person. Why not reveal your name?" Feng Tianxiang was gradually taking a liking to me. If he didn't know I hadn't revealed my identity, he would have really wanted to approach me and make friends!

"How could my humble name possibly reach the ears of the Grand Marshal? Wouldn't that be an insult to the Marshal's ears?" I was also quite tempted by Feng Tianxiang's suggestion. After all, it was exactly what I wanted—for such a person to want to befriend me.

"Hehe, young man, I can tell at a glance that you're no ordinary person. Are you going to dodge questions from an old man like me?" Feng Tianxiang was indeed shrewd and calculating, seemingly trying to understand me by starting with our seniority.

"Hehe, Grandpa Feng, it's hard for me not to admire you. Asking a junior in the tone of an elder is a very good method! Although I'm a little disgusted by this method, it would be really inappropriate for me not to mention your name in front of an elder like you!" I found it quite pleasant to chat with such a senior, as if it were a casual conversation.

"Hehe, what can I do? This kid Nian is so slippery, I have no choice but to shamelessly compete with you!" Feng Tianxiang also found chatting with this young man quite enjoyable, even though he was a mystery, it didn't affect his mood.

"Grandpa Feng, aren't you eager to know my name? Don't be afraid when I tell you!" I smiled slightly and teased.

"Hehe, this old man of mine is almost in his coffin, what is there for me to be afraid of!" Feng Tianxiang followed my words, his expression very calm.

“Since the old man has said so, it would be unreasonable for me not to reveal my name. However, old man, please listen carefully, my name is Xie Yun!” At first, I emphasized my words, trying to whet Feng Tianxiang’s appetite, but later, Owen only mentioned his name, a stark contrast that surprised even Feng Tianxiang.

“That’s it?!” The old man asked incredulously, his eyes wide.

“That’s it!” I nodded, answering with certainty.

“Oh my god! You young man are too unfair. You talked for so long, keeping me in suspense, only to reveal your name. Are you taking advantage of my old bones and failing eyesight?” Although Feng Tianxiang’s tone was reproachful, he maintained a smile.

“Hehe, actually, just these two words are enough to shake the entire continent. As you said, you’ve been trapped for twenty years, and your information network is outdated. It’s perfectly normal that you don’t know me!” At this moment, I even showed a hint of pride, speaking eloquently.

"Hmph, although I'm under house arrest here, that doesn't mean I'm out of touch. Let me think!" Feng Tianxiang, not one to tolerate being looked down upon, said angrily.

"Xie Yun, Xie Yun, that's the name I've heard most often lately. The legendary Saint Seiya, the Guardian Saint King of the Fire Lion Empire, the Grand Marshal of the Fire Dance Duchy, and the Guardian General of the Hawk Empire—each of these titles represents a powerful force. Anyone who can hold all these titles must be extraordinary!" After barely calming his chaotic thoughts, he organized the information about me stored in his mind and came to the above conclusion. However, as his thoughts became clearer, he became increasingly shocked, and the surging emotions left his mind in a state of chaos. However, being a seasoned veteran, he quickly regained his composure and, with a hint of helplessness in his voice, said with a wry smile, "You certainly have the right to say that. Known as the 'Dragon God General,' you can command countless responses with a wave of your arm. No wonder that little Alice was defeated by you!"

"Oh, Old Master Feng is indeed remarkable. Even imprisoned in this cage, you can see and hear everything around you. It seems you're not as unfree as I imagined!" I smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Indeed, that's exactly right. In this Marshal's Mansion, I seem to have unlimited freedom, but when I find a chance to escape, you'll find we're not so free. We're like canaries in luxurious cages, waiting for others' pleading every day, living a monotonous life. We've grown weary of this over the past twenty years, yet we have no choice!" Feng Tianxiang said with a bitter smile.

"Just as I thought!" I nodded in agreement, then suddenly asked, "Since Fast III treats you this way, why don't you choose an opportunity to overthrow him? That way, you wouldn't have to live on for twenty years in such a wretched state!" A hint of disdain flashed in my eyes, making him smile bitterly.

"Heh, rebellion? Perhaps only a carefree young man like you would say such a thing! I'm getting old, and everyone needs a place to return to in their old age. The Tiger Dynasty is where I was born and raised. Do you think I would do something so rebellious?" Feng Tianxiang's voice carried a hint of desolation as he smiled bitterly.

"Hasn't Your Excellency heard some news in recent years? Fast III's incompetence and the power struggle between the two princes have already endangered the safety of ordinary people. Do you want the Tiger Dynasty to decline and never recover?" I tried my best to persuade Feng Tianxiang.

"I understand what you're saying, but look at me now. I'm so old, how can I possibly care about these things? I just want to spend my remaining years here in peace." Although a hint of worry flashed in Feng Tianxiang's eyes, he still stubbornly denied it.

"When did you become so decadent, Grandpa Feng? You only care about your own enjoyment. Have you ever thought about the feelings of ordinary people? They desperately want someone to rescue them from their misery. The long-term oppression of the Fast royal family has eroded their confidence as citizens. Resentment is accumulating in their hearts. Once that resentment reaches its peak, they will erupt from their stagnation. At that time, they will be unstoppable, and the Fast royal family will face destruction. I'm afraid that at that time, you will also be implicated. The situation then will be beyond your imagination." Seeing Feng Tianxiang's stubborn appearance, I wanted to pick up a hammer and smash his head to shatter his stubborn thoughts.

Hearing my words, even Feng Tianxiang seemed quite tempted. However, after calming down and thinking it over, he seemed to sense a subtle unease. He stared intently into my eyes and said, "Xie Yun, it's a waste of your eloquence that you're not a renowned persuader on the continent. If it weren't for your background, I probably would have been swayed by your words and laid the groundwork for your next move. Am I right?"

"What you said is true, but not entirely true. My initial intention in coming here was not for these things. It was only after arriving that I suddenly decided to come here because I couldn't stand some of the practices of the Fierce Tiger Dynasty!" Seeing Feng Tianxiang's wary look, I couldn't help but laugh and explained.
