[The Golden Eagle's Romantic Tale, Chapter 1]

As dusk settled and the sun set, Chao Yunfei cheerfully carried water, trudging up the rugged, steep mountain path. His face was like jade, his features handsome and dashing; at first glance, he appeared to be a pampered rich young master. However, his bare upper body, muscular and lean, carried two buckets of water on his shoulders, yet his steps were firm and light, making him seem more like a heroic figure.
After carrying the two buckets, he could go home. Carrying water was nothing unusual for Chao Yunfei, but today was different. It was his eighteenth birthday. His father had once said that the mysterious intricately carved box was his eighteenth birthday present. He knew his father hadn't forgotten, because last night his father had lingered under the tree, sighing deeply and secretly shedding tears.
The box was about a foot square, made of fine wood, intricately carved all over, exquisite and precious. It seemed out of place for his blacksmith father, and indeed, he treasured it like a priceless gem, never showing it to anyone.
From the time Chao Yunfei was old enough to understand, he often saw his father, Chao Gui, carrying a wooden box when no one was around. As a child, he asked countless times about the box's origin, but never got to the bottom of it. Then one day, Chao Yunfei finally succumbed to temptation and secretly opened the box, discovering many strange things inside. But before he could examine them closely, Chao Gui found him.
Chao Gui didn't scold him, only sighed. From then on, the box disappeared without a trace, but he spent most of his time sullen and often lingered under trees. Chao Yunfei instinctively felt the box was buried under a tree, which made him secretly guilty, wishing his father would punish him.
From childhood, Chao Yunfei always felt that his father was different from others. Chao Gui never hit or scolded him. Even if he made a mistake, he would not be harsh, but would gently persuade and patiently guide him. When he got emotional, he would even shed tears. At this time, Yunfei could only bow his head and agree. Sometimes, Yunfei wondered if tears were the most effective weapon. However, Chao Gui did not spoil Chao Yunfei. On the contrary, his demands on him were so high that they were unbearable.
For example, carrying water in a wooden bucket was actually an iron bucket. The bucket itself was much heavier than the wooden bucket filled with water. Moreover, carrying water up the mountain was not for practical use, but to build strength. Carrying eighteen buckets of water up the mountain every day was no joke, and building strength was the easiest task.
Under Chao Gui's supervision, Chao Yunfei studied literature on odd-numbered days and martial arts on even-numbered days. Over the years, he was so busy that he could hardly breathe. Even with his extraordinary talent, he was sometimes exhausted.
Reaching the summit, Chao Yunfei poured water into the stone pool. He had built the pool himself, and he had carried the water up there. Now the pool was full, as if a task had been completed, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He then leaned against a rock to rest as usual, taking the opportunity to sort out his chaotic thoughts.
These past few days, his father had been acting strangely. He hadn't worked, spending his days sitting at home deep in thought, sometimes stroking his beard and smiling, sometimes with a grim expression, finally pacing under a tree to convince Chao Yunfei that he was thinking about him.
Chao Yunfei sighed. In truth, his father's strange behavior was countless; this was just one example. His father was skilled in both literature and martial arts, yet he willingly lived in poverty, hiding in the small town of Huangshi City as a blacksmith. He had spent a great deal of effort studying and practicing martial arts, painstakingly honing his skills, yet concealing his abilities and forbidding himself from standing out.
Furthermore, his father had never mentioned his mother. They weren't locals, and no one knew why they had come here—all of this remained a mystery.
Thinking that today was his coming-of-age day, and perhaps his father would answer some of his questions, Chao Yunfei, driven by youthful impetuosity, acted on his idea immediately. Just as he was about to descend the mountain, he noticed someone climbing it. Curious, he thought to himself that no one else would be climbing at this hour, so he looked towards the path. The
person climbing the mountain in the dead of night was a woman. She wore a long black dress and, remarkably, a sun hat. Her movements were swift and agile, her clothes fluttering in the darkness like a ghost, startling Chao Yunfei
. He then noticed her shapely hips and slender waist, her graceful figure, and the intoxicating fragrance carried on the night breeze. Although he couldn't see her face, he felt her captivating charm and couldn't help but feel curious. He hid in the shadows and observed her. "Please take a seat, Qiu Yi has arrived," the woman called softly after reaching the summit, removing her sun hat.
The moon had already peeked out, and the mountain wasn't too dark. When Chao Yunfei saw Qiu Yi's face, his eyes widened in disbelief. He thought to himself, "Such a beauty has come here, yet no one talks about her." He'd also forgotten that there wasn't much space on the mountain; if Qiu Yi searched the area, he'd be nowhere to hide. Fortunately, Qiu Yi only called out twice, and when no one answered, she sat down on a rock to wait.
Only then did Chao Yunfei understand what it meant to be "a feast for the eyes." This Qiu Yi appeared to be around twenty years old, alluring and captivating, with an intoxicating charm—truly a peerless beauty. A faint sadness lingered in her eyes, making one's heart flutter even more. Her clothes shimmered in the moonlight, undoubtedly made of expensive silk and satin, yet she sat casually on the rock, seemingly unconcerned.
Although Qiu Yi sat on the rock, her gaze was fixed on the mountain path, a hint of anxiety in her eyes. Upon noticing someone climbing the mountain, she immediately stood up and bowed respectfully. The newcomer was dressed in blue cloth, with long hair flowing down his shoulders, a gold ring around his forehead, and straw sandals on his feet. He carried a long staff, and despite his weasel-like appearance, he was a tall, thin man. "Please take a seat, this servant Qiuyi greets you," Qiuyi said, kneeling before the thin man. "You seem even more handsome now that I haven't seen you for a while," the thin man said coldly. "Is the matter settled?" "Not yet, please grant me a few more days..." Qiuyi said, her head bowed. She dared not rise until the thin man gave her a proper greeting. "You scoundrel! You can't even handle such a small matter! What is the reason?" the thin man said sullenly. "It's...it's because..." Qiuyi stammered, unsure how to answer. "Because you acted shamelessly, didn't you!" the thin man cursed. "No wonder Wang Tu said you were disobeying orders." "No, he...he couldn't seduce me, so he took revenge!" Qiuyi said, her face pale. "Nonsense!" the skinny man sneered. "Who do you think you are? What's so great about touching things? Let me tell you, the Prince has agreed to let Wang Tu be in charge of all matters here. You'd better handle it." "Yes..." Qiu Yi replied, swallowing her anger, but tears welled up in her eyes. "I'll give you three more days. If you can't get it done by then, I'll send you to the eighteenth level of hell!" the skinny man said angrily. "Your Excellency..." Qiu Yi cried out in fear. "No need for further words. Black Stone City has been captured. If you ruin things, I'm afraid the Prince will make sure you never reincarnate!" the skinny man said coldly. "This servant understands. Please, please give me the antidote." Qiu Yi knew that further words were futile, so she could only agree. "Antidote? You can't do anything without the antidote?" the skinny man sneered. "No, this servant is just afraid that the poison will take effect and ruin Your Excellency's plans." Qiu Yi argued. "You sharp-tongued slut," the skinny man chuckled, "Fine, I'll let you off easy. Let me apply the medicine myself." "Right here?" Qiu Yi exclaimed in surprise. "Isn't this place nice? No one will come at night, it's like sleeping under the open sky, quite a unique experience!" The skinny man grinned and pulled out a bottle from his pocket, pulling down his pants. "Apply the medicine to me."
Qiu Yi, still kneeling before the skinny man, took the bottle, crawled forward, and actually applied the medicine to the skinny man's penis. "Is that old ghost any good?" the skinny man asked, gently stroking Qiu Yi's hair. "He...he's nowhere near as good as you, old lady," Qiu Yi said, suppressing her bitterness, gritting her teeth as she stroked his throbbing penis. "Your mouth is so sweet," the skinny man laughed, grasping his erect penis and bringing it to Qiu Yi's lips. "Eat it, let him pamper you properly." "…Please take a seat, the medicine has already been applied, I'm afraid…" Qiu Yi said, turning her face away. "Oh, I forgot." The skinny man said regretfully, "Remember to take it before applying the medicine next time." "Yes, I understand." Qiu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, turned her skirt up to her waist, untied the towel wrapped around her lower body, bent over backward, and lay supine on the ground like an arched bridge. The skinny man chuckled lewdly, straddled Qiu Yi, rubbed his penis against her split vulva a few times, then thrust his hips down and inserted his penis.
Chao Yunfei stared in disbelief, never expecting this strange couple to be so shameless. Although Qiu Yi seemed to be forced by circumstances, seeing her skillfully writhing and fawning under the lewd skinny man, even more lewd and shameless than the prostitutes of the Jade Pavilion in Black Stone City, he felt a strange hatred rising within him.
Despite being just a big kid, Yunfei had an incredibly rich experience with love and sex. He was precocious and exceptionally gifted, with a particularly strong sex drive. He started masturbating very early, which was what Chao Gui found strange. After discovering that Yunfei relieved himself with his fingers, Chao Gui began to teach him about the ways of men and women and even went with him to the Jade Pavilion in Black Stone City for pleasure. Coupled with his youthful folly, Chao Yunfei was already a seasoned womanizer at a young age.
The skinny man thrust in and out dozens of times in one go. Just as he was about to change positions, Qiu Yi wrapped her pink legs around his waist, her slender waist twisting beautifully a few times. His lust instantly became uncontrollable, and with a few strange cries, he released his pent-up desire. Chao Yunfei almost cursed out loud. This skinny man was so useless, what a waste of such a charming beauty. Thinking of this, his lower abdomen swelled even more painfully. The skinny man rested on Qiu Yi for a while, then got up and went to the pool to wash. Qiu Yi didn't move. After he left, she took a towel and cleaned the stains from her vulva behind his back. 'Don't think that the antidote will prevent it from taking effect for a month. The three-day deadline is still here. If it's still not done by then, don't blame me for being ruthless.' The skinny man put on his pants and strode away. Qiu Yi didn't speak, only silently shedding tears, which stirred Chao Yunfei's pity. He almost wanted to show himself and ask who she was, what kind of poison she had been poisoned with, and what the skinny man had forced her to do. But he thought to himself that these two were strange and inexplicable, and he couldn't be rash. Helplessly, he watched her leave, then listlessly picked up the bucket and prepared to go home. "Yunfei, where are you?" Suddenly someone called from down the mountain. "I'm here, what is it?" Chao Yunfei recognized Hou Rong, the son of the butcher next door, one of his good friends, and answered. "Uncle Chao has had a stroke, you should go home quickly!" Hou Rong shouted. Chao Yunfei was shocked and rushed down the mountain. When he returned home, he found his father lying on the bed, barely alive, on his deathbed. "Father, you... what's wrong? Your son is back!" Chao Yunfei cried out anxiously, rushing to the edge of the bed. "…Jun'er…I…I can't…do it…You…good…take care of yourself…The box…under the tree…endure…endure…do it!" Chao Gui said, pointing with difficulty to the back of the house. "Doctor…have you found a doctor?" Chao Yunfei turned his head and called out to the neighbors in the house. He noticed that everyone in the neighborhood had consulted Master Wen, and seeing his gloomy expression, he felt a chill in his heart, and tears streamed down his face. "Endure…endure…the box…you…!" Chao Gui gasped for breath and called out a few times, then turned his head to one side and closed his eyes forever. "Father…!" Chao Yunfei was suddenly struck by a great tragedy and was completely disoriented. Thinking of his father's deep kindness in raising him, he couldn't help but lie on the corpse and weep bitterly. It was late at night. Chao Yunfei sat silently under a tree, never imagining his eighteenth birthday would be spent like this. The box should be under him, but he had no mood to dig it out now. Suddenly, Chao Yunfei heard some soft noises outside, knowing someone was approaching. If he hadn't been sitting there, he might not have heard it.
"Go in and explain things to him," someone whispered. The voice sounded familiar, but Chao Yunfei couldn't remember when he'd heard it before. "His father just died; it doesn't seem right," a clear voice said.
Chao Yunfei recognized them. It was Yu Cui and her widowed mother, Yan Niang. Yan Niang made a living mending clothes, and the two women depended on each other. Yan Niang, though past her prime, still possessed a captivating charm. She had moved from Black Stone City and was said to have been the most beautiful woman there in her youth. However, Chao Yunfei felt she was more like the mistress of the Hidden Jade Courtyard. Yu Cui looked very much like her mother, but she was youthful, radiant, and charming. In Chao Yunfei's eyes, she was the true beauty of Yellow Stone City. Thinking of Yu Cui, Chao Yunfei felt a surge of warmth. They were childhood sweethearts, innocent and carefree. Ever since that full moon night last year when Yu Cui gave away her precious virginity, they had sworn an eternal vow, one vowing to marry no one but a concubine, the other to marry no one but him—a vow that made others envious. Yu Cui wasn't without her flaws; her occasional tantrums could add a bit of fun. However, her constant dream of being a pampered young mistress, living a life of luxury and extravagance, annoyed Chao Yunfei. The only explanation was that Yan Niang was greedy and avaricious. Influenced by her mother from a young age, she had also become lazy and eager to gain without effort. "What's wrong with that? An ugly woman must eventually meet her father-in-law," Yan Niang urged again. Chao Yunfei's heart pounded. Had Yan Niang discovered their affair and wanted to propose to Yu Cui? It wasn't that he didn't want to, but his father had just passed away; how could he marry at this time? Yu Cui knocked on the door. Chao Yunfei opened it in a daze, and sure enough, it was Yu Cui. She was dressed in brand-new floral clothes, her pretty face flushed, making one's heart flutter. "Cui Cui...!" Chao Yunfei excitedly grabbed Yu Cui's hand, unsure of what to say.
"No." Yu Cui shyly pulled her hand away from Chao Yunfei's, lowering her head. Chao Yunfei was a little surprised. Usually, if this happened, she would have readily thrown herself into his arms. Seeing that Yan Niang hadn't appeared, it seemed she was hiding outside, letting the young couple have some private conversation. So Yu Cui was shy and a little nervous, saying, "Come in and we'll talk." "Just say a few words here." Yu Cui said, fiddling with her sash. "What is it you want to tell me?" Chao Yunfei asked, taking a deep breath. "I'm getting married." Yu Cui said, blushing. "I...I'm so happy...I'll treat you well...!" "Chao Yunfei stammered. "You've misunderstood," Yu Cui said anxiously. "But Father...we need to be delayed a bit..." Chao Yunfei didn't pay attention to what Yu Cui was saying and continued talking to himself. "You're still dreaming. My Yu Cui is going to marry Ding Tong, the captain of Huang Hu Army, in a few days and become the captain's wife. I'm here to tell you to stop bothering her." Yan Niang suddenly appeared and said angrily. "What?" Chao Yunfei said incredulously. "I'm sorry...I...!" Yu Cui stammered. "You...you're lying to me! Did she force you!" Chao Yunfei cried out in a trembling voice. "Why would I lie to you?" Yan Niang took Yu Cui's hand and said, "This gold bracelet is the betrothal gift. Do you have it?" "I...I will definitely make something of myself!" Chao Yunfei said with a livid face. "Make something of yourself?" "Others get five silver coins a month, how much do you get?" Yan Niang mocked. "Cuicui, tell me, this isn't true?" Chao Yunfei asked, barely containing his anger. "Five silver coins is quite a lot. Your father is a blacksmith, he only earns a few dozen copper coins a month." "Besides the gold bracelet, there are many beautiful clothes, I..." Yu Cui said timidly. "You vain, shameless woman!" Chao Yunfei roared as if struck by lightning. "Xiao Fei, you... you can't even make a living on your own, how can we be together?" Yu Cui said, mustering her courage. "Get out!" Chao Yunfei shouted, turning his back and refusing to look at Yu Cui again. "Go, and don't ever see this poor boy again." Yan Niang said disdainfully, pulling her daughter away. Yu Cui secretly breathed a sigh of relief and left with her mother. Enraged, Chao Yunfei's eyes blazed with fury. He secretly vowed that no matter how much hardship he endured, he would rise above his circumstances and wash away the humiliation of the day.
The oxcart carrying Chao's father's coffin slowly departed Huangshi City. Driving the cart was Li Guang, a young, tall man who made his living by hunting and possessed great strength. Hou Rong accompanied Chao Yunfei behind the cart; both were close friends of Chao Yunfei, and together they escorted Chao's father to his burial place. Originally, Wen Bai, the son of Wen Fuzi, was also supposed to accompany them, but although clever, he was not suited for heavy work, so Chao Yunfei did not allow him to go. During his lifetime, Chao Gui would take a few days off each year to travel with Yunfei to the Funiu Mountains in the north to enjoy the panoramic views. Therefore, Chao Yunfei decided to bury his father there, hoping that his father could rest in peace. Overnight, Chao Yunfei transformed from a cheerful and lively young man into a taciturn figure, remaining silent all day. His deep, handsome eyes, besides showing sorrow, occasionally flashed with resentment. Li Guang and Hou Rong assumed he was grieving the death of his father and dared not say more. After traveling for two days, they arrived at Kuangfeng Gorge. To the west lay Heishi City, and around the city was the foot of Funiu Mountain. Crossing Kuangfeng Gorge would shorten the journey considerably, but the gorge was treacherous, teeming with dangerous creatures, and the roads were not smooth, so few travelers ventured there.
Chao Yunfei and his companions, young and fearless, and possessing little wealth, entered the gorge without hesitation. After walking for half a day, just as they were about to find a place to eat and rest, they suddenly heard a woman's cries for help in the distance. The three young men, of course, could not ignore it. Li Guang stopped the oxcart by the roadside, and they all grabbed their weapons and rushed over. Li Guang's weapons were a hunting fork and a slingshot, Hou Rong carried a butcher's knife, and Chao Yunfei was unarmed, having taken a blacksmith's hammer for self-defense before leaving. As they approached the source of the sound, the cries grew even more piercing. Chao Yunfei, being more composed, signaled to Li Guang and the others not to act rashly before quietly slipping away. Just then, they heard someone shout "Stop!" Knowing someone had gone ahead, the three hid and watched. They saw a towering, middle-aged man, wielding a bronze rod, pointing at two shifty-eyed men and cursing them. The men were holding down a sobbing woman; her clothes were open, her bright red bodice askew, and her full breasts were exposed. It seemed the burly man had stopped a heinous act. Knowing their plan had failed, the two thugs, seemingly afraid of the burly man, dropped their prey and fled in panic. The burly man intended to give chase, but the girl's cries for help forced him to stay and take care of her.
"Girl, are you alright?" the burly man asked. "Save me... Waaah... Strong man... Waaah... Please save this woman in distress!" the young woman cried out, her voice like a sob. "Are you injured? Where are you hurt?" the burly man asked, squatting beside the woman. Her fair breasts dazzled his eyes. "You... you help me sit up," the woman groaned. The burly man, of course, was willing and dared not ask. He quickly and carefully supported the woman's shoulders. She let out a soft moan and leaned against him, even wrapping her arms around his neck. At this moment, Chao Yunfei and the others also saw the woman's face. She was probably in the prime of her youth, with willow-leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a straight nose, and lips like painted rouge. Her charm was irresistible. The three of them couldn't help but look at each other and shake their heads, secretly thinking that if they had arrived a little earlier, they could have kissed her. The burly man was also infatuated. The woman smiled sweetly, and suddenly a thick pink mist of perfume gushed from her lips. "You wretch!" the burly man roared, trying to stand up, but he was already unsteady, staggering backward and finally collapsing to the ground. "No matter how cunning you are, you'll still have to drink my foot-washing water!" the woman giggled, flipping gracefully to her feet, and without any hesitation, straightened her clothes in front of the burly man. "You... who are you?" the burly man shouted, his voice loud but weak, as if lacking energy. "I am Zhu Rong, the Pink Butterfly. You don't even recognize me, how dare you oppose our alliance!" the woman sneered. "It's you again!" the burly man said angrily, "What exactly do you want?" "It's the same old story: join our alliance and hand over Sifang Fortress," Zhu Rong said. "We are all law-abiding citizens, we won't join you in evil deeds," the burly man retorted angrily. "Sifang Fortress isn't mine alone, agreeing is useless." "Tong Gang, you are the head of the Tong family, you can represent the Tong family. As for the other old men, we have our own ways," Zhu Rong said with a smile. "No, even if you kill me, I won't agree!" Tong Gang said firmly. "Since that's the case, then don't blame me for offending you." Zhu Rong laughed lewdly, took out a pill from her bosom, and said, "This is the 'Soul-Stealing Ecstasy Pill.' If a man takes it, he will be consumed by lust, and after one night of passion, he will die from exhaustion. Then I will hang your corpse in Sifang Fortress, so they will remember you forever!"
"You... why don't you just give me a quick and decisive blow!" Tong Gang said, his voice a mixture of shock and anger. "Isn't this satisfying enough? A beauty like me, countless men want to see me but can't!" Zhu Rong said with a seductive smile. "Shameless slut!" Tong Gang trembled with rage. It wasn't that he was afraid of death, but dying like this would be utterly disgraceful. "Am I not beautiful?" Zhu Rong shamelessly turned around, her figure undeniably graceful and alluring. "Of course you are beautiful, young lady," a clear voice rang out from the side. It wasn't Tong Gang, but Chao Yunfei. "Young man, who are you?" Zhu Rong, seeing the strong, handsome young man speaking, felt a surge of attraction. "I am Chao Yunfei. Since this uncle is unwilling to join us, young lady, please let him go," Chao Yunfei said neither arrogantly nor humbly. "This is a matter for adults; young man, please don't meddle," Zhu Rong said kindly. She was naturally flirtatious and enjoyed associating with handsome young men; if she weren't currently engaged in business, she certainly wouldn't have let Chao Yunfei go. "That's a misconception. Everyone should mind their own business, regardless of age or status. Besides, you're a young lady, why are you speaking so maturely?" Chao Yunfei said loudly. "You're quite the talker," Zhu Rong chuckled, suddenly noticing a chubby boy holding a butcher's knife standing beside Tong Gang. She realized she had distracted Chao Yunfei and lost her chance to win him over. "You vixen, get lost! We brothers aren't to be trifled with!" the chubby boy said impatiently. He was Hou Rong, naturally shy and afraid of talking to pretty girls. Zhu Rong's lewdness and cunning made him particularly dislike her. "Are you all bullying me together?" Zhu Rong asked pitifully, taking a bright red embroidered handkerchief from under her arm and wiping the sweat from her rosy cheeks. "Where did we bully you..." Chao Yunfei laughed, but before he could finish, a red cloud rushed towards his face, and Tong Gang shouted a warning. Fortunately, he was prepared and quickly twisted his waist to avoid Zhu Rong's fragrant embroidered handkerchief. At the same time, he wielded his iron hammer to protect his head and face, and with a few "clangs," he knocked down several fine gold needles. "Little brother, you're so clever!" Zhu Rong giggled and waved her embroidered handkerchief again. Chao Yunfei was fighting for the first time and had no practical experience. He didn't know the extent of his martial arts skills and was worried that Zhu Rong's embroidered handkerchief was poisoned. So he held his breath, guarded his defenses, and fought steadily. Zhu Rong, however, thought his martial arts were nothing special and became complacent. She deliberately used a set of flashy martial arts to show off her charm. Hou Rong saw Zhu Rong flitting around Chao Yunfei like a butterfly among flowers, her embroidered handkerchief like a red cloud, constantly striking his head and face. Chao Yunfei, however, only defended and did not attack. The situation was dire. Hou Rong wanted to help, but he remembered Yunfei's instructions and could not abandon Tong Gang, who had been ambushed. He was so anxious that he stamped his feet and cried out.
Although Tong Gang was restrained, his eyesight was still sharp. He thought to himself that this young man's moves were steady, but his adaptability was lacking. He missed several opportunities to subdue Zhu Rong. He was also worried that his skill was still shallow and he could not hold his breath for long, making him even more vulnerable to the bewitching handkerchief. "Witch, watch out for the hidden weapons!" Suddenly someone shouted, followed by several gusts of wind. Zhu Rong chuckled, her slender waist swaying, easily dodging the incoming hidden weapons. She leaped behind Chao Yunfei, but before she could make a move, her jade wrist was suddenly grabbed by him. "Miss, don't fight." "Chao Yunfei said calmly, Zhu Rong's jade-like wrist was slender and smooth, and it felt really comfortable to hold. "Let go! Why are you holding my hand?" Zhu Rong scolded, seeing a man carrying a tiger fork approaching quickly, knowing that he was the one who had launched the hidden weapon. "Don't let go!" Hou Rongtong shouted in unison, but it was too late. Chao Yunfei had already released her hand and taken two steps back. "Young brother, we'll meet again." Zhu Rong saw that they outnumbered her and wondered if there were any other experts. What worried her most was that Chao Yunfei was unfathomable and she didn't know how she was being controlled. She dared not stay any longer and hurriedly fled. Chao Yunfei did not expect her to leave so easily, but he had no intention of chasing her. "Little Fei, why did you let her go?" The man who came later said that he was Li Guang, who was originally responsible for launching hidden weapons with a slingshot to help, but he saw that Chao Yunfei was in danger, so he showed up to join the attack. "A good man doesn't fight with a woman, let's just forget about it." Chao Yunfei nodded, having already gauged Zhu Rong's strength and knowing she was no match for him. "But what about this uncle's antidote...?" Li Guang asked anxiously. "Oh... I'm sorry, I forgot." Chao Yunfei said apologetically, "Then what should we do?" "Xiao Wen said most sleeping potions can be neutralized with cold water, let's try it." Hou Rong took out a water pouch and gave Tong Gang a few sips. After a while, Tong Gang slowly regained his strength. "Thank you for saving us, three young heroes." Tong Gang clasped his hands in thanks. Although the three were modest, they couldn't help but feel flattered, especially Hou Rong and Li Guang. Hearing Tong Gang address them as "young heroes," they felt as if they had become great heroes themselves, and eagerly inquired about how Tong Gang had become enemies with this witch.
The north was once engulfed in war, plagued by years of conflict, leaving the people destitute and many fleeing. Among them were civilians and defeated soldiers. Most initially settled in Wushi City and the surrounding area, but the sheer number of refugees meant Wushi City could not accommodate them all. Many also settled in Kuangfeng Gorge, a mixed bag of individuals. Some became bandits, while others, unwilling to remain thieves, gathered together to support themselves. Sifangbao was mostly inhabited by people with the surnames Tong, Fang, Dong, and Deng, who lived in Huichun Valley, farming and living a self-sufficient life, like a paradise. However, this idyllic existence was short-lived. In the past two years, a bandit leader nicknamed "Red Beard" and named Luo Qi suddenly rose to power, leading a group of heroes and establishing the Kuangfeng Alliance. He even coerced the refugees settled in Kuangfeng Gorge to join him. Because Sifangbao was located in a strategic location, Luo Qi intended to establish a stronghold there, thus making it a target of his persecution. Sifangbao was unwilling to submit and lacked the strength to eliminate Luo Qi. Seeing Luo Qi's growing arrogance, fearing he might become a threat, they reluctantly sent Tong Gang to Black Stone City, hoping to persuade the city lord to send troops to suppress the bandits. However, Tong Gang was ambushed by Zhu Rong and nearly lost his life. Chao Yunfei and the others understood the gravity of the situation; even if they wanted to help, they were powerless and somewhat disappointed. Tong Gang, of course, didn't expect their help. Knowing they were heading to Funiu Mountain, he proactively provided them with a token, allowing them to ascend the mountain from Sifangbao, saving time and effort. He then continued his journey to Black Stone City to seek reinforcements. Sifangbao, built against the mountain, was strategically important, easy to defend and difficult to attack, which was likely why Luo Qi coveted it. With Tong Gang's token, Chao Yunfei and his group successfully entered the fort and were entertained for the night. The fort was quite spacious, likely capable of accommodating many people. Nothing was said that night. The next day, the three men carried the coffin up the mountain and found a spot facing north to bury Chao Gui. After the burial, they set off home. Instead of returning to Huangshi City via the same route, they descended the mountain on the other side and took the route back to Heishi City. Although Heishi City was smaller than Huangshi City, it was much more prosperous, with teahouses, taverns, brothels, and gambling dens—everything one could want. However, the three men had no money and could only wander around aimlessly. Chao Yunfei, who had been there several times with Chao Gui, knew the way well and led Li Guang and Hou Rong to a cheap noodle stall by the roadside for a meal. During the meal, the three men inevitably made outrageous remarks, starting with the lewd and shameless Zhu Rong and talking about the alluring and romantic affairs of the Cangyu Courtyard. Li Guang and Hou Rong were naturally envious, while Chao Yunfei was saddened, realizing that without his father, he would have to rely on himself from now on. In their excitement, Chao Yunfei suddenly saw a group of Black Crow soldiers escorting a burly man in shackles and chains past. The man was none other than Tong Gang. The three men exchanged bewildered glances, unable to understand how Tong Gang, who had come seeking help, had become a prisoner. Moreover, his righteous demeanor didn't seem like that of a bad person; could he have committed a crime here? Seeing Tong Gang, the three were even more reluctant to leave, determined to find out the truth. Penniless and unable to afford an inn, they found an abandoned, dilapidated temple, settled their oxcart there, and used it as lodging before splitting up to gather information. Although Chao Yunfei had never set foot in the martial world before, with Chao Gui's guidance, aside from lacking experience, he possessed the skills of a seasoned veteran. He resolved to listen more and speak less, preparing to inquire in crowded areas. However, he had barely entered the market when he encountered an acquaintance.
"Brother Fei, why didn't you come to see me after entering the city?" The speaker was a charming, alluring middle-aged woman, clearly not a respectable lady. "It's you... Father's dead, and I have no money." Chao Yunfei said shyly, recognizing Chunhua as a girl from Cangyu Courtyard who had once taught him many bedroom skills. "I'm sorry, I didn't know my father had passed away," Chunhua said apologetically. "But you can still come see me even if you don't have money. I don't need your money." "Even if you don't need money, the courtyard costs money." Chao Yunfei knew she wasn't lying. Although Chunhua had seen countless men and was experienced, she was no match for him. Only when she was with him could she achieve carnal satisfaction. "Why don't you come to my house? Have you forgotten where I live?" Chunhua pinched Chao Yunfei's arm. She had saved some money and had already redeemed herself, but the redemption had exhausted her savings, so she continued to make a living through prostitution. "I'll go now," Chao Yunfei said with a grin, thinking to himself that Chunhua, who made a living by entertaining guests, must have some information that others didn't. Although Chunhua's place wasn't large, it was bright and clean, and kept very tidy. Chunhua invited Chao Yunfei to sit down and then went to prepare tea. "How have you been lately?" Chao Yunfei asked after taking a sip of tea. "A few more brothels have opened in the city. If it weren't for the influx of outsiders, making a living wouldn't be easy," Chunhua replied warmly, leaning against Chao Yunfei. Without Chao Yunfei even asking, Chunhua launched into a long, rambling monologue, from the greedy and lustful city lord finally settling down and starting a family, to the recent influx of martial artists from outside. Normally, in this chaotic world, many people practiced martial arts, which wasn't a big deal, but these people all spoke with strange northern accents, seemed to be in cahoots, and were frequently seen entering and leaving the city lord's residence, which was quite unusual. When the topic turned to Gale Gorge, Chunhua became even more talkative. It turned out that Blackstone City had long been aware of the Gale Alliance's expansion. Some time ago, the city lord had even planned to send troops to suppress them, but the plan was abandoned. Recently, when the Gale Alliance opened brothels and gambling dens in the city, the city lord remained indifferent, leaving everyone puzzled. Chao Yunfei inwardly cursed; it seemed the problem lay with the city lord. Either he was colluding with Luo Qi, or there was something else going on. He suddenly remembered Qiu Yi's conversation with the mysterious thin man on his birthday, and felt even more anxious for Tong Gang. Further questioning revealed that the Gale Alliance's brothels and gambling dens in the city were doing very well, and no one in the city's thugs were causing trouble, all indicating that Luo Qi had powerful backers in the city.
"If you only come next month, you won't see me," Chunhua said softly. "Why?" Chao Yunfei asked in surprise. "Since the Gale Alliance arrived, business has become increasingly difficult. The owner of the Hidden Jade Courtyard is moving to Redstone City and even plans to have me as his mother," Chunhua replied. "I can visit you in Redstone City," Chao Yunfei laughed. Apart from Blackstone City, he hadn't been anywhere else and was interested in visiting Fivestone City. "If you come, I'll definitely find you a beautiful girl," Chunhua said. "What about you? Aren't you going to talk to me?" Chao Yunfei said with a grin, rubbing Chunhua's breasts. "I'm old and faded, do you still want me?" Chunhua sighed. "Of course I do, I haven't finished my apprenticeship yet!" Chao Yunfei laughed. "You've already surpassed me, what more can I teach you?" Chunhua rolled her eyes at Chao Yunfei and said, "If you don't mind, I can let you warm your hands." "Then let me warm your hands!" "Chao Yunfei, with a lecherous grin, reached into Chunhua's breasts and said, 'Although she was well-maintained and not yet old and faded, her breasts were already loose, far from the firm and tender ones of Yu Cui. Thinking of Yu Cui, Chao Yunfei felt a pang of heartache.' 'You're so naughty!' Chunhua giggled seductively, collapsing weakly against Chao Yunfei, her jade-like hands kneading his bulging crotch. Chao Yunfei, full of youthful vigor, couldn't resist such teasing. He tried to tear at Chunhua's clothes, and Chunhua, without any pretense, yielded. Before long, the two were naked, their bodies exposed. 'Brother Fei, you've grown up again!' Chunhua said, stroking his erect penis. 'Have you been practicing my Eighteen Styles of Romance these days?' 'Yes, many times,' Chao Yunfei said, caressing Chunhua's large breasts, the image of Yu Cui reappearing in his mind." "Is that even a question?" Chunhua chuckled. "If it were all done at once, what girl could handle it!" "You can't either?" Chao Yunfei laughed. "Try it, just don't kill your older sister!" Chunhua said wantonly.
When Chao Yunfei finally vented his anger, Chunhua, though not dead, was too exhausted to move. But Chao Yunfei knew she liked it, because when he tried to leave, Chunhua clung to him. Tong Gang was in a precarious situation, and Chao Yunfei had no choice but to leave. He returned to the dilapidated temple, where Li Guang and Hou Rong had already returned. Hou Rong, who followed the Black Crow Army, knew where Tong Gang was being held. Li Guang discovered that Zhu Rong had also come to Black Stone City and entered a house called "Flower Moon Pavilion." "Flower Moon Pavilion? That's a brothel run by the Mad Wind Alliance!" Chao Yunfei exclaimed. "How did you know?" "What should we do?" Li Guang and Hou Rong asked in unison. "I found out." Chao Yunfei pondered for a moment and said, "Let's sneak in when it gets dark and see if we find anything." "The wall there is very high; I can't climb over it," Li Guang said, scratching his head. "Then let me in. You all keep watch outside and don't let anyone notice," Chao Yunfei said confidently.
