[Fantasy] The New Legend of Sword and Fairy (Complete) - 13-15

Chapter 14 Emerging from the Cave

"Xiaoyao~." Naked, Rouya called out sweetly.

Also naked, Xiaoyao lay flat on the ground as if unconscious, completely unresponsive to Rouya's voice…

The surroundings were pitch black, like the vast and endless expanse of the universe…

This was Xiaoyao's inner world, a space completely disconnected from the outside world, a place beyond words.

"Xiaoyao…" Seeing Xiaoyao's lack of response, Rouya smiled mischievously. She moved closer to him, kissing and licking his cheeks and lips.

"It's all your fault… so clumsy, falling for this trick…" While passionately kissing him, Rouya reached between Xiaoyao's legs and began to caress him.

"I was supposed to clean up after you, but now I'm in trouble too…" Breathing softly in Xiaoyao's ear, Rouya couldn't resist reaching between her own legs, and upon touching him, she immediately cried out.

Rouya's eyes were moist, her cheeks flushed, and her nipples were engorged and erect on her fair breasts, so adorable that one couldn't resist sucking them. Her pink labia were overflowing with lustful fluid, dripping down her thighs.

After such a passionate encounter, even if Rouya didn't feel anything, the visual and auditory stimulation was enough to ignite a burning desire within her. Naturally, Rouya was now restless and anxious…

“Xiaoyao~” Rouya gently nibbled on Xiaoyao's earlobe, calling out in a voice that made one blush and their heart race.

“If you don't get up, I'm going to do something else again…” Rouya said, her gaze fixed on his erect penis, playfully poking it with her finger.

Although his body had undergone a "battle," his "heart" hadn't, so his penis quickly became erect with the slightest stimulation.

Whether this was good or bad for Xiaoyao was unknown…

“Aren't you going to get up…” Although she knew Xiaoyao wouldn't get up, Rouya was still a little disappointed.

"I don't care about you anymore, hehe..." With that, Rouya straddled Xiaoyao, adjusting her position so that his penis was aimed at the entrance of her vagina. The hot glans touched her moist labia, causing Rouya's body to tremble instantly.

"Xiaoyao, I'm going to insert it..." Rouya kissed Xiaoyao's lips, then lowered her hips and sat down.

With Rouya's movement, the huge penis plunged into the narrow vagina in one go, squeezing against the vaginal fluid, and a soft "sizzle" could almost be heard.

The hard penis thrust all the way in, directly hitting the cervix. This huge impact made Rouya's expression quite complicated, unsure whether it was pain or pleasure...

"Ah...so good..." Regardless of what she felt, Rouya only felt a long-lost sense of emotion at this moment. Having been inside Xiaoyao's body for so long, watching Xiaoyao's ups and downs, she had finally experienced that real feeling today.

“Xiaoyao…who told you to be so stupid and fall for this trick? That’s why I’m punishing you. It’s definitely not because I’m jealous, really…” Rouya quickly explained while Xiaoyao was unconscious, but whether she was telling the truth was another matter…

“Ah…so…so full…oh my god…mmmmm…” Rouya moaned with pleasure as she gently twisted her waist.

“It hurts…! Uh ah…uh…” Rouya frowned, but still didn’t stop twisting her waist. Pleasure and pain mingled, and she couldn’t bear to stop.

As the penis rubbed back and forth against the soft flesh, Rouya’s breathing became more and more rapid, and her juices flowed continuously. Rouya placed her hands on Xiaoyao’s chest to support her weight and increased the speed of her waist movements.

Abandoning all feminine modesty, Rouya writhed wildly, moaning lasciviously. Her long hair, three or four centimeters above her waist, cascaded down her sides, the ends teasing Xiaoyao's nipples and chest, providing indescribable stimulation.

"Ha...ha...so good...Xiaoyao...I...I'm becoming so strange..." Her bewildered eyes gazed at Xiaoyao, Rouya moaning softly.

"Uh...I...I've become so lewd...so embarrassing...mmm..." The thought of Xiaoli's wanton appearance made Rouya's cheeks flush, and she cried out in a slightly defiant, wanton manner.

Such an adorable yet lewd sight! If Xiaoyao had seen her, he would have pounced on her and thrust into her forcefully. But Xiaoyao remained still...

Rouya kissed Xiaoyao's lips, her tongue darting into his mouth, licking passionately; her hands roamed over his firm chest, her slender waist, without an ounce of excess fat, swayed violently up and down, her huge penis moving in and out of his wet vagina.

Faced with such intense sex, yet the person involved remained unconscious, but Xiaoyao's brows seemed to furrow slightly, and his penis would occasionally tremble slightly, indicating that although his mind was unconscious, his body was still responding.

"Xiaoyao... I... I feel so good... Ahh... What... What do you think..."

"Ah... Ee ah ah... I... I think I'm about to come..." Having not tasted pleasure for so long, coupled with the stimulation of the previous sex scene, Rouya felt her whole body trembling, seemingly on the verge of orgasm.

"Xiaoyao...I'm about to...about to cum...ahhh...come with me...come with me...ahhh...!"

As if a fire of desire was about to erupt within her, Rouya swayed her hips rapidly, her penis rubbing back and forth against the vaginal walls, hastening her orgasm...

"I...I'm going to cum...ahhhhhh~!!" Rouya suddenly threw her head back, letting out a high-pitched, lewd cry, warm vaginal fluid gushing out and splashing onto the glans.

The warm vaginal walls throbbed rapidly, the penis receiving intense stimulation inside. Suddenly, the penis jerked, and scalding semen gushed from the tip of the glans, spraying directly into the vagina.

"So...so hot...! Eeeahhhhh~" Bathed in semen, Rouya cried out in pleasure and climaxed again...

In a daze, Xiaoyao vaguely sensed a woman riding on top of him, twisting her waist passionately. Xiaoyao wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids wouldn't obey him. Every cell in his body seemed to be on strike, completely ignoring his will.

Time and again, the woman reached orgasm on Xiaoyao's body, and Xiaoyao also ejaculated excitedly. They continued, the woman twisting her waist wildly, oblivious to everyone else, as if trying to drain Xiaoyao dry.

Hmm...who is it...? Xiaoyao really wanted to see who it was. That warm vagina, the tightness and the wetness, it was a familiar feeling, but Xiaoyao couldn't remember who it was...

Finally, when Xiaoyao felt exhausted, as if every cell in his body was about to dehydrate, the woman collapsed onto Xiaoyao, seemingly powerless too...

"Xiaoyao..." the woman said weakly.

That voice...? Xiaoyao was stunned. The voice was very familiar, but his mind was still in a daze after ejaculating, and he couldn't remember for a moment...

"I like you so much..." the woman said sweetly, her tone full of sweetness, which made Xiaoyao's heart tremble.

"So... you have to forgive me... hehe..." the woman said playfully. Xiaoyao forced his eyelids open a little, and through his blurry vision, he saw the woman's smile, which was so strange... Xiaoyao had an intuition that he had a bad feeling...

"Xiaoyao..." The last call was full of tenderness and reluctance. In an instant, Xiaoyao had a flash of inspiration, and he finally remembered who it was...!

"Xiaorou!!" He shouted suddenly, and his upper body jumped up like a spring. The woman next to him was immediately startled and exclaimed.

“Young Master…” The woman beside him was not Rouya, but Xuehan. She looked at Xiaoyao with a worried and puzzled expression.

“Xue… Xuehan…” Seeing Xuehan, Xiaoyao was also confused. He looked at himself and then around…

The familiar room was Xiaoli’s master bedroom; Xiaoyao was shirtless, his wounds had stopped bleeding and were beginning to scab over. Xiaoyao felt bewildered. He was clearly…

“Huh…!?” Suddenly, Xiaoyao noticed Xiaoli kneeling beside him and was immediately startled, his expression becoming wary.

“Young Master, don’t be afraid, she’s no longer an enemy.” Xuehan quickly replied.

“Ah? This… why?” Xiaoyao was stunned. When did she stop being an enemy…?

“Because… Young Master, you… back then you…” Xuehan’s cheeks flushed red at the question. She remembered the situation back then…

“My benefactor, let me explain…” Xiaoli said with a smile.

"My benefactor? Me?" Xiaoyao was stunned again. It seemed as if so much had happened while he was unconscious.

Of course, Xiaoyao was completely unaware of Rouya's appearance.

Xiaoli recounted Rouya's appearance, from how she subdued her to filtering her internal energy, but she didn't explain how she "subdued" her... Xuehan,

standing to the side, blushed and dared not speak.

It turned out that Xuehan had already woken up when Rouya started bullying Xiaoli. She was completely puzzled by Xiaoyao's change, so she remained silent, lying there eavesdropping on Rouya's "prank."

But such a passionate scene would make anyone blush and their heart race, and Xuehan's somewhat rapid breathing certainly didn't escape Rouya's ears.

However, as for why Rouya only revealed it after the event, that depends on what Rouya was planning...

"..." After listening to Xiaoli's account, Xiaoyao was stunned, his mind racing...

So it was Xiaorou... Then she saved me...

Then... why didn't she come out to see me? Why did she wait until I was unable to move...? Xiaoyao was completely baffled by Rouya's actions.

Anyway, she saved my life this time, so we're even now.

Xiaorou, thank you... Xiaoyao silently expressed his gratitude.

"Benefactor." Suddenly, Xiaoli bowed her head.

"Your mercy in sparing my life, and the fact that you helped me restore my inner strength, allowing me to cultivate and become an immortal sooner, I am deeply grateful." Xiaoli thanked her. Rouya filtered her inner strength, which would help her avoid going into a state of demonic possession during her future cultivation. Xiaoli was very grateful that Rouya didn't eliminate her and even helped her in this way.

"That...that wasn't me, don't be like that..." Xiaoyao said, feeling embarrassed.

"She was inside you, so you saved her, and it's only right that I thank you," Xiaoli smiled.

"Oh..." Xiaoyao replied casually, feeling a bit strange that his former "enemy" had suddenly become an ally.

As if Xiaoyao had seen through his thoughts, Xiaoli immediately bowed her head and apologized.

"I'm sorry...I was trying to kill you before, you can scold me or punish me, I hope you can forgive me." Xiaoli put on a pitiful look, and Xiaoyao couldn't resist such a beautiful woman bowing her head and apologizing to him...

"Never mind...don't keep calling me your benefactor, it makes me uncomfortable." Xiaoyao said, sighing inwardly, helpless about his inability to resist girls.

"Thank you!!" Xiaoli was overjoyed, suddenly hugging Xiaoyao and kissing him, startling him so much that he froze and didn't dare to move.

"No, please don't do that." Xiaoyao blushed, half-heartedly resisting. His initial resentment towards Xiaoli's intimate actions, coupled with their previous close relationship, had vanished. Xiaoyao wasn't usually one to hold grudges, especially towards girls…

"Pfft…!" Xuehan, standing nearby, suddenly chuckled, as if about to laugh, but quickly suppressed it.

"Xuehan, what are you laughing at?" Xiaoyao asked, puzzled.

"Uh… nothing… nothing…" Xiaoli, beside Xiaoyao, kept giving her meaningful glances, and Xuehan, suppressing her laughter, stammered.

"?" Xiaoyao was full of questions, but seeing Xuehan's silence, he let it go…

Little did he know, Xuehan was laughing at Xiaoyao's reaction.

It turned out that Xiaoli's pleading method was exactly what Rouya had taught her! Rouya had long understood Xiaoyao's personality. She knew that after Xiaoyao woke up, he would definitely harbor some resentment towards Xiaoli, his former enemy. So she instructed her to first plead pitifully, and then have some intimate contact with him, and Xiaoyao would immediately forgive her.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoyao reacted exactly as Rouya had predicted, and Xuehan couldn't help but laugh...

"Right, right!!" Suddenly, Xiaoyao remembered something and shouted.

"Sister Yueru! Is she alright!?" Xiaoyao asked in a panic.

"Her? She's fine, that girl went to see her..." Before Xiaoli could finish speaking, a voice interrupted her...

"Brother Li..." A familiar voice called out, and Xiaoyao's heart trembled. He quickly looked towards the entrance and saw Yueru standing there with a smile...

"Sister Yueru!!" Xiaoyao was overjoyed and immediately jumped up, wanting to rush forward and hug her, but as soon as he stood up, he fell heavily back down.

"Brother Li!?" Yue Ru was startled and rushed over to check on Xiao Yao's condition.

Xiao Yao was stunned. The moment he stood up, he felt as if all his

strength had been drained, leaving him completely unable to stand, so he slumped back down.

"You... how are you?" Yue Ru asked with concern.

"I'm fine, haha..." Xiao Yao tried to move his body, but as soon as he moved slightly, a sharp pain shot through his lower back, causing him to cry out softly.

"You say you're fine! Let me see..." Yue Ru said, looking around at Xiao Yao's body, trying to find out where he was injured.

"No... this..." Xiao Yao was completely confused. He knew it wasn't an injury, but rather... muscle soreness from overexertion.

What... what's going on...? Xiao Yao was utterly bewildered. At this moment, he felt sore all over, and his lower body felt empty, as if he had just... "done" several rounds.

(Impossible... But... This feeling is so similar... Right, it's like when I did it with my sister, so strange...) Xiaoyao thought blankly. The feeling at this moment was indeed somewhat similar to when he made love with Xiaojun, but the emptiness was even greater than then...

(But... I remember there was a case before, doing it with Xiaorou in my mind shouldn't affect my physical body...) The more Xiaoyao thought about it, the more confused he became...

Little did Xiaoyao know that if he hadn't moved, he would have been fine, but this movement made him notice the changes in his body, and all the aftereffects of Rouya's "playing" with him back then were now erupting...

"Hmm...?" Yueru looked at him, and there were no serious external injuries on Xiaoyao's body.

"You... could it be that you overused your internal energy, and that's why your body was slightly exhausted?" Yueru guessed.

"Uh...maybe..." Xiaoyao mumbled, glancing at Xuehan.

"Hey! Xiaorou...no...what did that girl who possessed me do...!" Xiaoyao asked softly, his intuition telling him it must be related to Rouya, especially since he remembered Rouya's strange smile when he was in a daze...

"This..." Xuehan was immediately embarrassed by the question, unsure how to answer.

"What?" Yueru asked, seeing Xiaoyao seemingly whispering something.

"N-nothing..." Xiaoyao quickly shook his head.

"Judging from your expression, you're sure you'll win?" Yueru asked with a smile.

"Ah..." Upon hearing Yueru's question, Xiaoyao instinctively looked at Xiaoli, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly nodded.

Following Xiaoyao's gaze, Yueru noticed Xiaoli...

"She is...?" Yueru asked疑惑地.

"Uh...she...is a demon." Xiaoyao's answer startled all three women present.

“Benefactor…” Xiaoli looked frightened. Xiaoyao wouldn’t have thought…

“Young Master…!” Xuehan, though not entirely convinced Xiaoyao would do such a thing, still spoke up worriedly. Xiaoyao gently shook his head at Xuehan and Xiaoli, indicating there was no need to worry.

“A monster… what’s going on? Is she an accomplice of the snake demon?” Yueru asked warily.

“No, she was just captured by the snake demon to sweep this place. She won’t hurt anyone, don’t worry,”

Xiaoyao replied slowly.

“Oh?” Yueru looked at him with suspicion.

“Benefactor!” Xiaoli, standing to the side, was overjoyed and hugged Xiaoyao tightly.

Xiaoyao was startled and tried to push her away, but Xiaoli, while still hugging him, brought her mouth close to his ear.

"I'll go get something to help you 'replenish' it in a bit. Don't ask any questions yet, or you'll have a hard time explaining to this girl," Xiaoli said softly.

"Oh..." Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao immediately understood, but at the same time, his unease intensified... What exactly did Rouya do?

"Hey, Brother Li's body is still very weak, don't touch him," Yueru said somewhat unhappily.

"Oh dear, my little lover is jealous..." Xiaoli giggled softly, then moved away from Xiaoyao and gave Yueru a playful smile.

"Really..." Seeing Xiaoli's reaction, she didn't seem like a bad person, so Yueru really believed her. Besides, she called Xiaoyao her benefactor, so it shouldn't be wrong.

"...So, what about the enemy?" Yueru asked.

"The enemy... After a few battles, he escaped," Xiaoyao casually made up.

"Thanks to Xuehan, without her, I really couldn't have won..." Xiaoyao added.

"Oh... Xuehan, thank you." Yue Ru looked at Xuehan and said gratefully.

"N-nothing..." Xuehan blushed, unsure what to say.

After saying this for a while, Yue Ru suddenly fell silent. She wanted to talk to Xiaoyao alone, so she glanced at Xuehan and suddenly gave her a meaningful look.

After all, they had grown up together, and Xuehan immediately understood. She tugged at Xiaoli's sleeve, signaling her to leave.

Xiaoli nodded, winked at Xiaoyao, and quietly left with Xuehan...

Suddenly being alone with her, Xiaoyao sensed an ambiguous atmosphere and didn't know how to speak.

Looking at Yue Ru, he saw that she had a faint smell of sweat and blood all over her body, and her clothes were covered with knife cuts, some even stained with blood, showing how dangerous the battle had been.

However, the observant Xiaoyao also noticed something: a strange emotion was etched on Yue Ru's beautiful face; there were several tears in her clothes, clearly torn by external force; and several buttons on her chest were missing, seemingly snapped off…

“Brother Li…” Yue Ru spoke first.

“When I came in, I heard you calling my name loudly…” Yue Ru said slowly.

“Ah…” Xiaoyao was taken aback. It turned out that Yue Ru had entered just as he was calling her name.

“You… were so worried about me?” Yue Ru asked softly, her face slightly flushed.

“This… of course…” Xiaoyao said, scratching his head sheepishly.

“Actually, when I heard… uh… the enemy say you were defeated by the snake demon, I was really scared, of course I was worried about you…” Xiaoyao said, almost saying Xiao Li's name, but he stammered and went along with it.

To his surprise, Yue Ru's body trembled instantly upon hearing this, a hint of sadness flashing across her face. The sharp-eyed Xiao Yao immediately noticed, his expression turning serious.

"You... what happened?" Xiao Yao asked softly.

"...Can I not tell you?" Yue Ru looked at Xiao Yao, her expression filled with sorrow and pleading. Although Xiao Yao felt a pang of guilt, he knew that keeping some things bottled up would only deepen the pain...

"Sister Yue Ru... some things are better said, otherwise they'll become a lifelong shadow for you," Xiao Yao said slowly.

"No...!" Yue Ru shook her head desperately.

"I... I don't want you to know..." Yue Ru said sadly.

"Could it be... it did something to you?" Xiao Yao instinctively thought of the worst possible outcome.

Yue Ru's body suddenly trembled violently. She lowered her head, tears streaming down her face, and sobbed uncontrollably.

"Sister Yue...!?" Xiao Yao was startled; he hadn't expected Yue Ru to cry!

Yue Ru, with her tomboyish strength, actually burst into tears. Xiao Yao's heart ached, and the worst possible outcome flashed through his mind—could it be…?

But Xiao Yao quickly regained his composure. Without a word, he pulled Yue Ru into his arms, wanting to comfort her first.

Caught in Xiao Yao's embrace, her tears soaking his bare chest, the familiar masculine scent filling her senses, Yue Ru couldn't help but cry again.

After crying for a while, Yue Ru gradually calmed down, only then realizing how embarrassing she had been in front of the person she liked. Blushing, she pulled away from Xiao Yao's embrace.

Her red, phoenix-shaped eyes and tear-streaked face were surprisingly alluring. Xiao Yao was stunned, almost speechless…

“I…I'm sorry…I made you laugh at me…” Yue Ru said, her face flushed.

“How could I? Who would laugh at a woman crying in a man's arms?” Xiao Yao smiled.

“Thank you…” Seeing that Xiao Yao didn't look down on her at all, Yue Ru felt relieved.

“Can you tell me now?” Xiao Yao asked softly.

"I...I really don't want you to know, because...you...you..." Yue Ru couldn't continue, simply because Xiao Yao was the person she loved, so she didn't want him to know.

"No matter what, I will never look down on you or anything like that, I just want to know what happened," Xiao Yao said softly.

"...Okay," Yue Ru said, lowering her head.

With a sense of despair, Yue Ru slowly recounted her story, knowing that even if she didn't speak now, he might find out later, and she dared not imagine Xiao Yao's reaction... Rather than that, it was better to speak now and realize the truth sooner.

The incident occurred around the time Xiao Yao and Xiao Li were making love...

"Ugh..." With a groan, Yue Ru opened her heavy eyes and slowly woke up, feeling a sharp pain in her head and a groggy feeling.

"Hey! You're finally awake..." A deep male voice startled Yue Ru, instantly waking her. She quickly looked up and saw the snake demon sitting cross-legged not far in front of her, tilting his head back and chugging wine.

"You...!" Yue Ru tried to move, only to find her hands were bound.

Looking around, she realized this wasn't the battlefield, but a room. The walls were white, there was a large wooden bed, about six people wide, and a long, narrow table covered with strangely shaped objects…

On one wall hung chains, each gleaming silver and showing no signs of rust. Yue Ru was bound to one of them.

Seeing the snake demon's disgusting, smug smile, Yue Ru remembered she had lost…

The snake demon was already very strong; even Lin Tiannan's band of strongmen had been almost completely wiped out. How could Yue Ru possibly defeat it? And now, without her sword, the battle was even more difficult. Her whip couldn't harm the snake demon's hard scales.

Only when Xue Han appeared did things become clear. A two-on-one fight might have offered a chance, but Yue Ru was too worried about Xiao Yao and insisted Xue Han go to help him. Xue Han couldn't bear it any longer and went to find Xiao Yao, handing Yue Ru a sword before leaving.

Even with her signature weapon, Yue Ru was no match for the snake demon and was eventually knocked unconscious by its scythe…

“Hehe…” The snake demon let out a disgusting laugh, setting the wine jug aside.

“This is a torture chamber, used to torture prisoners…” the snake demon explained.

“So what? You want to torture me?” Yue Ru said coldly.

“Heh, still so stubborn even at the last minute, but I like it.” Seeing Yue Ru’s fearless attitude, the snake demon revealed an evil smile.

“I won’t torture you. On the contrary, I will treat you well, hahaha…” Yue Ru was truly stunned by the snake demon’s words.

“What… what do you want to do!?” Yue Ru shouted, her voice tinged with fear.

“Heh! You’re finally scared, aren’t you? You’re still a girl, hehehe…” the snake demon laughed smugly.

Even if she's a girl, and her boyish personality is no match for her, anyone would be scared in this situation. Yue Ru's panic grew, and although she knew she needed to stay calm, she couldn't manage it.

The snake demon, dragging its heavy tail, slowly "crawled" towards her, looking her up and down.

Under its lecherous gaze, Yue Ru felt a chill run down her spine and turned her head away, unable to look at it.

The snake demon chuckled twice, and suddenly, it grabbed Yue Ru's clothes at the chest and ripped them open with a snap.

"Ahhh!!" Yue Ru screamed in shock.

"Go ahead and scream. This room is used for torture; the soundproofing is excellent," the snake demon said gleefully.

"You—you'll kill me if you do anything else!" Yue Ru roared, struggling desperately, but the handcuffs only jingled and didn't budge.

“Don’t struggle! This is made of a special alloy; it won’t rust, and even a precious sword can’t break it.” As the snake demon spoke, it tore off Yue Ru’s clothes.

“No, no!!” Yue Ru screamed, making futile resistance, but the snake demon watched as if watching a show, slowly and methodically stripping Yue Ru of her clothes.

In no time, Yue Ru’s clothes were gone, leaving her only in her undergarments and panties.

Tears welled in Yue Ru’s eyes; the thought of being violated by this monster… she almost cried.

“Oh… I didn’t expect someone who looks so tomboyish to be so alluring when naked.” The snake demon stared lecherously, muttering.

“You… you…!” Yue Ru was both shocked and panicked. Begging for mercy was impossible, and even if she did, it wouldn’t let her go. Now, she was helpless…

The snake demon smiled smugly, its face close to Yue Ru’s, seemingly wanting to kiss her!? Yue Ru immediately turned her head away, trying to avoid being touched. The snake demon reached out and forcefully grabbed Yue Ru's chin, turning her around and kissing her forcefully.

Being kissed by someone other than the man she liked, Yue Ru froze. The snake demon continued to kiss her forcefully, even trying to insert its tongue into her mouth.

"Ugh!" With a scream, the snake demon abruptly pulled away, blood trickling from its mouth as it glared at Yue Ru in shock and anger.

Yue Ru spat on the ground, spitting out the monster's disgusting saliva and a small piece of its tongue. Her eyes, red and wet with resentment, glared at the snake demon. Being kissed was already humiliating enough; to have its tongue inserted was unacceptable. Yue Ru, without hesitation, bit down.

"Hmph...you've got guts, buddy!" the snake demon coldly glared at Yue Ru.

"It seems the only way to make you obey is to target your friend..." the snake demon said slowly.

"Wh-what!?" Hearing this, Yue Ru paused, then hurriedly asked.

"Hmph... Your two good friends have already been defeated by my wife. They really overestimated themselves; my wife is far stronger than me," the snake demon said.

"No, impossible..." Yue Ru was stunned as if struck by lightning. Xiao Yao and Xue Han had both lost...?

"Seeing how disobedient you are, and how you even injured me, I think I'll just cut off one finger from each of your friends first..."

the snake demon said with a cold laugh, turning to leave.

"Wait, wait..." Yue Ru called out, stopping it.

The snake demon turned back and saw Yue Ru's despairing expression, immediately laughing triumphantly.

"Finally a little more obedient, hahaha..." the snake demon laughed.

"You will definitely die a horrible death!!" Yue Ru glared at it with venomous eyes.

The snake demon chuckled a few times, then walked up to Yue Ru and kissed her. This time, Yue Ru didn't dodge, simply letting it kiss her freely.

The snake demon sucked on Yue Ru's lips, then stuck its tongue inside. Yue Ru trembled, but decided to give up resisting. The snake demon licked wildly in Yue Ru's mouth, savoring her taste.

Tears slowly welled up in Yue Ru's beautiful eyes. She didn't swallow a drop of the snake demon's saliva, letting it all flow from the corners of her mouth.

After kissing for a while, the snake demon's hands roamed over Yue Ru's body, groping her roughly, touching her breasts through her underwear.

The snake demon's strength was unexpectedly great, squeezing Yue Ru painfully, as if it were going to crush her breasts. Frowning, Yue Ru didn't utter a sound.

(Brother Li...) Thinking of Xiao Yao, Yue Ru felt a sharp pain in her heart. Even if she was to be violated, she only wanted to give it to Xiao Yao, but now she was about to be...

(What should I do...)

Father... The first person she thought of was Lin Tiannan.

Suddenly, she remembered what Lin Tiannan had said...

"Never give up hope, because once you give up, you have nothing left..." "The closer you are to danger, the calmer you must be. Calm down and observe your surroundings, look for conditions or things that are favorable to you, and that's how you break through the danger." Lin Tiannan's previous guidance flashed through Yue Ru's mind...

(Yes... I can't give up. Brother Li must think the same way. He can definitely turn the tide... I can't give up!) Making up her mind, Yue Ru calmly looked around...

"You little brat, you're not even saying anything..." The snake demon said, bored, and reached out to remove Yue Ru's underwear.

"Wait, wait a minute...!" Yue Ru suddenly called out, and the snake demon paused, stopping its actions.

"I... if I serve you, will you let me go?" Yue Ru said in a pleading tone. The snake demon paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"How could that be! It would be a waste not to eat the fish that's already in my hands, but I can give you a choice. Do you want me to take off your clothes, or do you want to serve me?" the snake demon laughed.

“…I’ll serve you,” Yue Ru said slowly. The snake demon was taken aback; it hadn’t expected Yue Ru to choose this answer.

“Whatever, it was bound to happen sooner or later anyway.” As it spoke, the snake demon quickly pressed several pressure points on Yue Ru’s body, causing her to feel a wave of numbness and weakness.

“Hehe, did you think I would carelessly let you down so you could get the weapon over there? How stupid! I’m not confident enough to just let you go like that.” The snake demon chuckled, having already noticed Yue Ru’s gaze drifting to the longsword beside her.

Yue Ru glared at the snake demon, a hint of disappointment flashing across her face. The snake demon chuckled a few times, knowing it had guessed correctly.

The snake demon stretched out its tail, and the thick end of its tail suddenly split open like a flower, revealing a huge object.

Yue Ru was startled; the ugly, deep red object was twice the size of Xiao Yao’s. If this were to pierce her, wouldn’t it tear her apart?

"Hurry up, didn't you say you'd serve me?" The snake demon was smug, seeing Yue Ru's frightened expression.

"...You'll definitely die a horrible death." Yue Ru repeated the same words, glaring fiercely at the snake demon as if she wanted to tear it to pieces.

"Heh, I'd like to see how I'll die a horrible death. Don't forget, your friend's life is in my hands..." the snake demon said nonchalantly.

Yue Ru hesitated for a moment, then slowly extended her right hand and grasped the snake demon's penis.

It seemed the snake demon's body temperature was lower than normal; his penis was even colder than Xiao Yao's, and its enormous size made it difficult to even hold with her hand.

Her right hand slowly moved up and down, and Yue Ru turned her head away, unwilling to look directly at the disgusting object.

"Oh...that feels good." The snake demon didn't seem to care; as long as it felt good, that was all that mattered. The penis moved up and down in Yue Ru's warm, jade-like hand, and the snake demon closed its eyes to enjoy it.

"Hey, use your left hand too!" the snake demon said. Yue Ru ignored him, continuing to stroke her penis with her right hand.

"Whatever..." the snake demon paid her no heed, focusing only on his own pleasure.

Under Yue Ru's ministrations, his already enormous penis bulged with veins, becoming even thicker. The snake demon made moaning sounds in sync with his pleasure.

Yue Ru remained expressionless, her right hand mechanically stroking up and down. What she was thinking, only she knew...

She continued stroking like this for a long time...

"Oh... almost there... a little harder, warm my thing up." Finally, the snake demon was about to ejaculate.

"Oh..." Hearing the snake demon say this, Yue Ru's facial muscles seemed to twitch slightly. She actually obeyed the snake demon's words, speeding up her right hand's stroke.

"Oh oh... almost there..." The snake demon's excitement grew, all his blood rushing to his penis, about to ejaculate.

"Yes, yes, yes... I'll help you make it warmer..." After saying some strange words, Yue Ru suddenly stretched out her left hand and grasped the base of his penis.

The snake demon was on the verge of ejaculation, his mind a bit blank. He thought Yue Ru was going to use both hands to help him ejaculate, so he closed his eyes and waited for the moment of ejaculation.

"I told you... you will definitely

die a horrible death...

" Suddenly, Yue Ru stopped her movements and added softly... In that instant, Yue Ru suddenly pulled her right hand away. Before the snake demon could react, suddenly, Yue Ru's

left hand exploded with a bang...! "Ughh ...

The "Seven Sword Qi Techniques" is the Lin family's ultimate skill, unleashing seven sword qi in seven different directions. Each sword qi possesses a unique internal force, some soft, some hard, some hard yet soft, and vice versa, making it a difficult move to block or dodge.

With Yue Ru's strength, she couldn't possibly unleash all seven, but this strike, delivered with all her might, still managed to land three!

The snake demon was already writhing on the ground in agony, unable to dodge. By the time it realized what was happening, it was too late. Three sword qi struck its chest, abdomen, and tail respectively, producing a sickening hiss. The sword qi that pierced its chest seven-tenths of the way in, while the other two pierced its chest five-tenths and severed it completely, killing the snake demon instantly.

"Ha...ha..." Gasping for breath, Yue Ru, seeing her enemy dead, collapsed like a deflated balloon, her longsword clattering to the ground. Yue Ru could no longer stand. Her left hand was covered in blood, badly injured, and she couldn't muster any strength.

It turned out this was all part of Yue Ru's plan: to mislead the snake demon into believing her intentions, then retrieve the Celestial Master's Talisman from her fallen clothes, feign compliance, and wait for her acupoints to open, distracting the snake demon so she could unleash a devastating attack.

This move was incredibly dangerous, with a high chance of crippling her left hand. However, Yue Ru worried that the snake demon's scales were too hard, and directly throwing the talisman might not be enough to harm it. But if the explosion landed in "that" place, even the strongest snake demon couldn't withstand it.

Yue Ru wondered how she got the talisman; perhaps Xiao Yao had secretly slipped it in with his Flying Dragon Cloud-Piercing Hand technique before leaving…

(That idiot Brother Li…) Yue Ru thought with a wry smile. In this way, Xiao Yao deserved some credit for their victory.

(I have to go save Brother Li...) Although she thought this, Yue Ru really had no strength left. She felt her eyelids getting heavy and slowly lay down.

For Yue Ru's internal strength, using the Seven Techniques Sword Qi was too much of a stretch. This use exhausted all her strength, so of course she was exhausted and fainted...

Therefore, after a while, when Rou Ya arrived in Xiao Yao's body, she saw Yue Ru lying there unconscious. Seeing the scene, Rou Ya knew that Yue Ru was out of danger. After checking on her and finding that Yue Ru was alright, she quietly returned to her original spot and let Xiao Yao return to his body. Of course, Yue Ru didn't know any of this...

"...After that, as soon as I woke up, I rushed over..." After finishing her story, Yue Ru lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Xiao Yao...

"...That's it?" Xiao Yao asked blankly.

"Wh-what, that's it?" Seeing Xiao Yao's reaction, Yue Ru was also confused.

"I, I thought you were... just kissed and touched, so let's just say it was a favor, since it's already dead..." Xiao Yao said.

"What are you saying?! So I deserve to be kissed?" Yue Ru said angrily upon hearing this.

"Oh well, it's not like you'll die from a kiss, you tomboy... Ouch!" The final "ouch" came from Yue Ru punching Xiao Yao hard.

"You bastard!! Say that again if you dare!" Yue Ru angrily swung at Xiao Yao, forgetting her injured left hand, and cried out in pain.

"Ah... let me see..." Xiao Yao's smile faded as he gently examined Yue Ru's left hand.

Unwrapping the bandage, Xiao Yao let out a soft gasp; the blood-stained appearance was truly gruesome.

The more Xiao Yao looked, the more distressed he felt. He reached out and gently pressed his hand against the wound. A faint light emanated from his palm, and the wound felt cool, the pain instantly lessening.

"Oh... you know this trick too," Yue Ru said in surprise.

"Of course! Who do you think I am? I'm the so-called genius boy, Li Xiao Yao!" Xiao Yao said proudly. That move was a healing technique using internal energy, taught by Shui Furong: Qi Healing Technique.

"Pfft..." Yue Ru chuckled, almost bursting out laughing. She suddenly withdrew her left hand and pressed her right hand against the wound. A flash of light appeared, and a cool aura greatly reduced the pain, its power surpassing even Qi Healing Technique.

Seeing Xiao Yao's stunned expression, Yue Ru laughed heartily.

"Idiot! I was teasing you. You dare to show off such a simple trick? That's called 'showing off your skills in front of Guan Yu,' you're overestimating yourself." Yue Ru mocked Xiao Yao.

"Go away..." Xiao Yao blushed and snorted disdainfully, but still paid attention to Yue Ru's treatment.

"What's that move called?" Xiao Yao asked curiously.

"'Concentrating the Mind and Returning to Origin,' it's much stronger than your Qi Healing Technique..." Yue Ru said.

"Teach me..." Xiao Yao looked on with increasing envy and couldn't help but say.

"Stop dreaming!" Yue Ru refused without hesitation.

"Hmph..." Xiao Yao snorted in disappointment.

"...Since you know how, why don't you treat yourself?" Xiao Yao asked疑惑地问道.

"I...I heard you were knocked down, so I rushed over to see you. I didn't think much of it..." Yue Ru said softly, her face flushed. Xiao Yao was deeply moved; she cared about him so much...

"...Are you bothered by it kissing you?" Xiao Yao suddenly asked.

"Nonsense...of course, anyone would care..." Yue Ru said.

"More than that, I'm worried about whether you'll look down on me when you find out..." she added quietly.

"How could that be? But since you care so much..." As he spoke, Xiao Yao revealed a strange expression, gradually approaching Yue Ru. Yue Ru was stunned, not understanding what he wanted to do.

"What...um!?" Suddenly, Xiao Yao leaned forward, abruptly covering Yue Ru's cherry-like mouth with his lips. Yue Ru

couldn't react in time and was instantly kissed by Xiao Yao. Taking advantage of Yue Ru's momentary lapse in attention, Xiao Yao pressed her down, pinning her to the ground, and continued kissing her.

"Mmm...!" When Yue Ru finally came to her senses, she began to struggle, but Xiao Yao held her down firmly. After a few struggles, her movements gradually subsided.

Warm, moist lips met hers, and she could feel Xiao Yao's hot breath on her face. Yue Ru's face grew increasingly red. She closed her eyes and returned the kiss.

This kiss was different from the last one; it was exceptionally long. Xiao Yao kissed her gently, his tongue quietly penetrating her mouth, licking her oral cavity.

Feeling that soft little thing darting around in her mouth, Yue Ru smiled mischievously and gently bit Xiao Yao's tongue with her teeth, indicating that she wanted to bite it down like the snake demon had done.

Xiao Yao paused for a moment, then smiled and began to lick Yue Ru's teeth. The two licked each other's oral cavity.

Their tongues intertwined in a dense, lingering embrace, unwilling to separate...

"Ah..." Finally, after a kiss that lasted more than three minutes, Yue Ru was completely bewildered.

"How about it? My kisses can outlast its kisses, right?" Xiao Yao smiled.

"You big pervert..." Yue Ru said, blushing. Seeing that Xiao Yao hadn't done anything wrong and was even willing to kiss her, she was naturally very happy.

"You really are something, crying like that over just one kiss. I was so worried, I thought you'd been..." Xiao Yao gently brushed aside Yue Ru's bangs and smiled.

"But... been kissed by that kind of monster..." Yue Ru said, looking down.

"Don't think too much. Don't forget, I stole your first kiss, no one can take it from you now." Xiao Yao chuckled.

"You dare say that..." This reminded Yue Ru of their first meeting, and she smiled slightly.

"But, that Celestial Master Talisman..." Yue Ru remembered something.

"That? Of course, I secretly slipped it to you, but I didn't expect you to use it like this..." Xiao Yao said.

"I don't mean that, I mean, why was it slipped into my clothes on my chest?" Yue Ru asked suspiciously.

"Uh... hahaha..." Xiao Yao suddenly paused, like a child caught doing something wrong, trying to brush it off with laughter.

"Oh! So you took advantage of me like that!?" Yue Ru exclaimed, both angry and amused.

"Don't be like that, it's not like I haven't touched you before, it's so small you can't really touch anything... Ouch!" The last sound, of course, came from Yue Ru giving him a hard knock on the head.

"Say that again if you dare!" Yue Ru glared at him.

"I won't dare..." Xiao Yao hugged his head, smiling bitterly. This punch to the head reminded him of Xiao Jun...

Compared to his sister, her strength was nothing. Xiao Yao recalled that every time Xiao Jun punched him, it would give him a bump on the head.

He wondered how his sister was doing now... Thinking of Xiao Jun, Xiao Yao felt a little reluctant...

"But... it's really not good that you've injured your hand like this..." Xiao Yao said tenderly, glancing at Yue Ru's left hand.

"Just kidding, what's wrong with injuring my hand like this to gain my virginity..." Yue Ru said with a stern face.

"I'm not that kind of girl, I'll only give my life to one person, and no one else is allowed to touch me..." Yue Ru said slowly.

“I know…” Xiaoyao nodded. Just being kissed was enough to make her react like this; Xiaoyao was certain she was a devoted and loyal girl.

“But, who is that ‘him’?” Xiaoyao asked deliberately with a smile.

“…What do you think?” Yue Ru glared at him fiercely.

“Oh dear…I really feel sorry for that person…he’ll have to be prepared to be beaten by a tigress every day…” Xiaoyao said helplessly.

“Then you just wait to get beaten!” With that, Yue Ru punched him repeatedly with her right hand, and Xiaoyao laughed as he parried.

Even so, Yue Ru didn’t use much force. She knew Xiaoyao was deliberately provoking her to prevent her from thinking so much. His concern for her made Yue Ru increasingly happy; in such a short time, she had gradually captured Xiaoyao’s heart…

After a while of playful banter, Yue Ru noticed a slight change in Xiaoyao’s expression…

“What’s wrong? Something on your mind…you must be thinking about Miss Zhao?” Yue Ru guessed.

“Don’t guess…” Although he said that, Xiaoyao’s expression already showed he had guessed correctly.

"Don't worry, since Miss Zhao isn't here, we can at least put our minds at ease. She'll be alright..."

Yue Ru comforted him, though a pang of jealousy stirred within her, she wouldn't be so heartless as to kick him while he was down.

"It's alright, at least it shows that Brother Li is a devoted and good man..." Yue Ru reassured herself.

"I hope so..." Although not finding Ling'er here was a good thing, Xiao Yao still felt a void in his heart. Having spent so much time with Ling'er, suddenly being separated like this was really hard to get used to...

"Besides, maybe Miss Zhao saw through your lecherous nature and that's why she secretly slipped away,"

Yue Ru teased.

"Hey, who are you calling a lecher?" Xiao Yao glared at her.

"Whoever answers me is who they are," Yue Ru giggled.

"You...! You're so mean, then I'll show you what a lecher is!" Saying this, he was about to pounce, but Yue Ru smiled and quickly dodged. But Xiaoyao forgot that his body hadn't fully recovered yet. This movement immediately aggravated all his nerves, causing him to fall down again in pain…

“Hey!” Yue Ru was slightly startled and quickly went over to check on him.

“…Look at you, you're just as exhausted.” Yue Ru smiled, mistakenly assuming that Xiaoyao was also like her, suffering from excessive internal energy depletion…

“Uh…haha…” Xiaoyao was also confused and could only laugh it off.

“Compared to your situation, mine is nothing. I should have swapped opponents with you, otherwise I shouldn't have given you your Thunder Soul… Oh, right!” Speaking of the Thunder Soul, Xiaoyao suddenly remembered something. He looked around and finally found the Thunder Soul stuck in the floor.

"Here, it's what we agreed on. I didn't lose it, okay? Now I'm returning the 'Thunder Soul' to you." Handing the Thunder Soul to Yue Ru, Xiao Yao smiled. This was also part of their pre-battle agreement…

"Whether the 'Thunder Soul' is returned or not is secondary; your safety is the most important thing…" At this point, Yue Ru lowered her head, her cheeks flushing.

"Yue Ru…" Xiao Yao gazed at Yue Ru, who just then looked up. Their eyes met, and they were instantly inseparable…

Suddenly…

"Hehe, you two are up to no good while we're gone…" Xiao Li's voice rang out. Xiao Yao and Yue Ru gasped and quickly turned their heads away. It turned out that Xiao Li and Xue Han had returned sometime earlier.

"Xue… Xue Han, I have something to tell you…" Yue Ru blushed and quickly pulled Xue Han aside, trying to ease the awkwardness.

"You..." Xiaoyao looked at Xiaoli with some embarrassment; her appearance was truly ill-timed...

"Hehe, sorry to bother you. Here, take this..." As she spoke, she held something in her right hand in front of Xiaoyao, who was immediately shocked.

A bloody chunk of flesh was in Xiaoli's hand, staining her hand bright red, as if it were a freshly removed viscera...

"This, this..." Xiaoyao stared at Xiaoli, completely bewildered.

"This is my husband's snake gall bladder. It contains the essence of his power. Your vital energy is greatly depleted; eating this is the best way to replenish it..." Xiaoli explained.

"Greatly depleted vital energy?" Xiaoyao quickly asked.

"Well... okay, I'll tell you..." With that, Xiaoli recounted Rouya's actions without reservation...

After listening, Xiaoyao's mouth dropped open, and he stood there motionless...

So... so... knowing the whole story, Xiaoyao was truly at a loss for words...

I always thought you saved me... I never expected you... Xiaoyao was both angry and helpless; he really didn't know what to say. He never imagined Rouya would play such a prank like a little devil...

You little devil! Next time I catch you, I'll make you pay! Xiaoyao shouted at her in his mind.

Was it just his imagination? Xiaoyao seemed to feel Rouya laughing uncontrollably inside him...

"That's what happened..." After saying this, Xiaoli's face flushed.

"Hmm... but, isn't that snake demon your husband? You... aren't you angry?" He even dug out its gallbladder, which puzzled Xiaoyao.

"It's alright... I'm a little reluctant, after all, it's been my sexual partner for so long..." Xiaoli said.

"I stay with it mainly because of its boundless energy. After all, I've studied bedroom arts for a long time, and it left me with the aftereffect of feeling very uncomfortable if I don't release my pent-up desires..." Xiao Li replied.

In fact, the aphrodisiac effect on Xiao Li's saliva does have some influence on her. Over time, it still causes her to experience unbearable sexual desire, so she often needs to release it...

"Then... what will you do in the future?" Xiao Yao asked.

"...Hehe." Xiao Li giggled twice, looking at Xiao Yao with a meaningful smile.

"No way..." Seeing Xiao Li's ambiguous smile, Xiao Yao had a bad feeling...

"That's how it is, my benefactor, you promised me that if you need anything in the future, you can come to... you, hehe..." Xiao Li giggled.

"Hey, I didn't promise that! That's not me!" Xiao Yao said in a panic.

"Oh? But my benefactor, you also said that if you suddenly change your mind, you'd tell your... a few 'good' friends about us." Xiao Li's words stunned Xiao Yao.

"You, you...! Sigh..." Xiao Yao sighed heavily. He hadn't expected Rouya, that little devil, to be so wicked. Xiao Yao truly accepted it. After all,

he was the one who had forced her into his body in the first place. Xiao Yao secretly resolved that if he caught her, he would definitely teach Rouya a lesson!

He swallowed the disgusting snake gall whole. The terrifying smell and indescribable taste almost made him vomit.

However, as expected of a snake demon who had cultivated for a long time, as soon as it entered his stomach, Xiao Yao felt an unprecedentedly hot aura spreading through his abdomen. Xiao Yao sat up and began to circulate his internal energy, channeling the inexhaustible power throughout his body.

"Brother Li?" Yue Ru, who had come over with Xue Han, looked at Xiao Yao with a puzzled expression when she saw him circulating his internal energy.

“Oh, my benefactor is circulating his internal energy; he’ll recover soon…” Xiaoli explained for him.

“It’s a pity there’s no second snake gall, otherwise you should have taken some…” Xiaoli said with a smile.

“Just kidding, I absolutely won’t eat that disgusting stuff…” Yue Ru shook her head.

“Hmm… but you really went all out, just looking at how that snake demon died, you can tell how miserable it was…” Xiaoli said .

“Hmph! Being so clumsy with me, that’s not enough! I told you long ago, I’d make it suffer a terrible death.”

Yue Ru snorted.

Just as the two were talking, Xiaoyao finished circulating his internal energy.

“Alright, we should send those girls back now…” Yue Ru said.

“Wait a minute.” Xiaoli quickly said.

“I promised my benefactor, there’s a secret room here, filled with all sorts of treasures. Take whatever you like…” Xiaoli said.

So, the three followed Xiaoli’s footsteps.

Although Xiaoyao had regained some of his energy, his whole body was still sore, and he walked with a slight limp. Yue Ru wanted to help him, but was too embarrassed, so she asked Xue Han to help him instead.

"Thank you, Xue Han," Xiaoyao said with a smile.

"Not at all, Miss is too proud to help you in person, so she asked me to help you..." Xue Han said with a light laugh.

"That wild girl, what's with the act of a pampered young lady?" Xiaoyao secretly scolded her from behind.

After walking a short distance, Xiaoyao suddenly remembered something...

"By the way, Xuehan, I remember you're afraid of snakes, how come you dared to come in alone?" Xiaoyao asked suspiciously.

"Ah... I... I..." Xuehan blushed instantly at the question, stammering and unsure how to answer.

"You came because you were worried about Yueru?" Xiaoyao guessed.

"Yes, yes..." Xuehan nodded vigorously. Seeing her exaggerated reaction, Xiaoyao knew the answer was probably not that; she didn't want to say, so he didn't press further.

Soon, the four of them arrived at the secret room...

It really was a secret room; if Xiaoli hadn't knocked on the wall and the door hadn't suddenly appeared, they wouldn't have noticed it at all.

As soon as they entered, their eyes were immediately drawn to what they saw... a

room full of gold and jewels! There were so many treasures that only those described in fairy tales could compare. While wealthy families like Yue Ru and Xue Han were fine, Xiao Yao was completely dumbfounded…

The walls were also covered with countless swords and other weapons, each exquisitely crafted. Just by looking at the gleaming blades, one could tell how sharp they were.

Wow… with all this, why would my sister have to work so hard running the inn? I could take my sister and Ling'er on a world tour for the rest of my life! Xiao Yao's mind was already racing with wild thoughts.

Yue Ru wasn't so surprised. She stepped forward and rummaged around…

“Brother Li, look…” Turning around to speak, she saw Xiao Yao's stunned expression.

“Hey! Stunned? Well, that's to be expected of a poor country bumpkin like you.” Yue Ru teased Xiao Yao.

“Go away!” Xiao Yao blushed, temporarily clearing his mind of these wild thoughts.

"Look, there are so many precious things and weapons here..." Yue Ru pointed to the various weapons hanging on the wall, and then to some shiny objects.

"Are these all yours?" Yue Ru turned to ask Xiao Li.

"No, these were left behind by the people who built this underground palace," Xiao Li replied.

"It really was man-made. I wonder who did it..." Xiao Yao's guess was correct. Who could have built such a massive project...?

Hmm...? Xiao Yao noticed a pair of very exquisite short swords, and he immediately thought of Ling'er.

She would probably like them... Thinking this, Xiao Yao also put them in his pouch.

Xiao Yao and the other two each picked out their favorite weapons. Xiao Yao also stuffed some very valuable items into his pocket, wanting to leave them for Xiao Jun...

Yue Ru didn't do what Xiao Yao did. Because of her family's circumstances, she had never cared much about money. She looked around, playing with some precious antiques.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, she noticed a small box. Upon opening it, she found two golden pills inside.

"Huh, isn't this the Golden Silkworm Pill?" Yue Ru exclaimed in surprise.

"Golden Silkworm? Isn't that the legendary sacred item of the Miao people: the Golden Silkworm King?" Xiao Yao also knew about it. It was a treasure that could increase one's cultivation by ten years, a rare find.

"Hmm, I didn't expect to find such a good thing here..." Yue Ru said.

"Here, one for each of you." Saying that, she handed one to Xiao Yao and swallowed one herself.

"Thanks..." Xiao Yao didn't eat it; he put it in his pocket, intending to save it for Ling'er.

After casually picking out some things he liked, Yue Ru pulled the still somewhat reluctant Xiao Yao out of the secret chamber...

"This place is yours from now on, you can come back anytime you want." Xiao Li smiled.

"Hmm? You're going to stay here?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Yes, it's very quiet here, a good place for cultivation, so I've decided to cultivate here until I become an immortal." Saying that, Xiao Li walked up to Xiao Yao.

"Come back and keep me company when you have time..." Xiao Li said softly, making Xiao Yao blush again.

"Go out through this door and you'll reach Baihe Town. The key is here..." Along with handing Xiaoyao the key, she also gave him a strange little bottle.

"What's this?" Xiaoyao asked curiously.

"An extract of my saliva." Xiaoyao was immediately taken aback and quickly tried to return it.

"Don't do that, you'll need it. It won't harm you, you can apply it or drink it. Remember, use it on a girl, just a drop is very strong." Xiaoyao blinked, feeling embarrassed, but reluctantly accepted it...

Opening the stone door, they exited the cave. The sun was rising; it was already daylight. They had been in the cave all night...

"Miss Lin, thank you!" the women thanked them profusely.

"And young hero, thank you so much." They also thanked Xiaoyao.

"No problem, you should go now, your families are waiting for you!" Yue Ru said with a smile. The women thanked her repeatedly before leaving...

"Benefactor..." One girl remained, it was Lin Yuting.

"Tingting? Is something the matter?" Xiaoyao asked with a smile.

"My home is in Baihe Town, not far away. If you have time, you're welcome to come over for a cup of tea," Yuting said.

"Of course!" Xiaoyao nodded, and Yuting slowly left.

"..." Watching Yuting's petite figure, Xiaoyao couldn't help but think of Ling'er, and his good mood sank...

"Don't be like that, why don't we go to Baihe Town and take a look, and inquire about some information while we're at it?" Yueru saw Xiaoyao's thoughts and comforted him from the side.

"Hmm..." Xiaoyao nodded and forced a smile.

"Let's go." Saying that, Xiaoyao started to move forward. But he had only taken one step forward when he suddenly stumbled...

"Brother Li!" Yueru was startled and rushed to support him.

"It's alright, it's alright..." Xiaoyao quickly said.

Even now, his body still felt aches and pains. Although he had "replenished" himself, it only filled the void in his body. Rouya, on the other hand, had drained his "heart" as well. The emptiness in his heart, combined with the muscle soreness, left Xiaoyao with no strength at all; even moving was a problem…

"Sigh…" Thinking of Rouya, Xiaoyao was truly at a loss for words, and could only sigh helplessly…

Ah… Yue Ru then realized that in the urgency of the situation, she had rushed over to support him. Now, feeling Xiaoyao leaning against her, his masculine scent made her blush and her heart race, but she was too embarrassed to push him away…

"Silly boy, you're already this tired after just one match. You're really lacking in exercise…" Trying to ease the awkwardness, Yue Ru grumbled, placing Xiaoyao's hand on her shoulder, intending to support him.

"What are you saying…" Xiaoyao smiled wryly; he couldn't argue with Yue Ru.

"This young lady has no choice but to reluctantly support you, really!" Yue Ru said, a faint blush on her face.

"Oh... I'm truly unworthy to have such a beautiful and noble young lady help me." Xiaoyao, true to his nature, couldn't resist teasing her.

"You...you...!" Upon hearing this, Yue Ru's cheeks flushed red again, and in her shame, she couldn't help but become angry.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll give you a couple of lashes!" Yue Ru scolded, her face flushed.

"Okay, okay... I won't say it anymore..." Xiao Yao quickly said. Yue Ru never controlled her strength when she hit someone, and it really hurt.

"Go away... I only praised you a few times and you're already so shy. I haven't even said anything yet: It's just a pity your personality is a bit off, you're so rough and don't act like a girl at all..." Xiao Yao muttered under his breath, but Yue Ru, who was supporting him, had already heard him...

Thump!

"Ouch!!" Xiao Yao cried out in pain as a strong elbow strike landed on his stomach.

"You brat! Just lie there and die of pain. Xue Han, let's go!" Yue Ru's face was like ice. She glared at Xiao Yao fiercely and left on her own.

"Ah... Yue Ru, I was just joking, okay? You're actually very cute and kind... Hey!

Don't really leave me behind, I really can't walk anymore!" Watching the receding figure, Xiao Yao pleaded frantically...

"Hehe..." Xue Han, who had been watching the whole thing from the sidelines, couldn't help but chuckle...

The two bickering lovers, putting on a comedic show on the road, along with a maid, embarked on their journey to Baihe Town...

Meanwhile, in the cave...

"Ah..." Xiao Li suddenly exclaimed.

"Oh no, I completely forgot to tell my benefactor about that..." Xiao Li said, her face showing a terrible expression.

"...It should be alright, never mind." Muttering to herself, Xiao Li gave a mischievous smile...

Meanwhile, in Yu Hang...

"Welcome... Hmm?" Facing the guests who entered, Xiao Jun greeted them politely, but then paused, startled. Six Bai Miao women entered the inn, one of whom was the little Miao girl.

"...Are you Li Xiaoyun?" one of the middle-aged Miao women asked.

"...Yes." Sensing something was amiss, Xiaoyun became wary.

"Don't be afraid, we're not bad people. I just want to ask, do you know a young man with a ponytail, a middle parting, a handsome face, wearing an earth-yellow shawl, a black shirt, and white pants?" the Miao woman asked.

"...Yes, he's my brother." Xiaoyun became even more wary. The attire described was exactly what Xiaoyao usually wore. They were looking for Xiaoyao...?

The Miao women chattered amongst themselves, finally the middle-aged woman speaking.

"...It's like this, your brother took the princess away, and now he's in grave danger. The Black Miao tribe has sent Elder Shi to take the princess away," the Miao woman said.

"...So what?" Xiaoyun asked suspiciously.

"We found the corpse of the Black Miao you defeated, and we know some of your secrets. Elder Shi is extremely powerful; we're no match for him, so we need your help..." the Miao woman finally got to the point.

"...You want my help mainly because you want to kidnap Ling'er, right?" Xiaoyun asked.

"No, we are different from the Black Miao. She is our princess, so it is our responsibility to protect her,"

the Miao woman said.

"Miss Li, let me put it this way..." Suddenly, another Miao woman, about thirty years old, spoke up.

"You know Elder Shi's martial arts skills. He has been practicing the 'Fire Dragon Palm' for decades. Do you understand now?" the Miao woman said.

"Wh-what!?" Xiaoyun was shocked. The term "Fire Dragon Palm" was not unfamiliar to Xiaoyun...

"Even if your brother is strong, he shouldn't be a match for him. Regardless of whether we are bad people or not, our interests are the same. You need to save your brother, and we need you to defeat Elder Shi. How about it?" the Miao woman said.

"Alright! Take me there quickly!" Xiaoyun agreed without hesitation. She immediately rushed back to her room and began to pack her clothes...

"Is this alright...?" one of the Miao women couldn't help but ask.

"There's no other way, Sister Gai Luojiao won't be able to get here in time. We have to rely on her strength for now..." another Miao girl replied.

While they were discussing, the little Miao girl also fell into deep thought...

Strange... The person the sisters described looks so much like... Impossible, he should be dead. I couldn't have missed the target when I poisoned him... The little Miao girl thought doubtfully. She wanted to ask them his name, but she didn't dare... She

really didn't understand... Why was she still thinking about him now... The little Miao girl was somewhat confused about her feelings...

Xiaoyao...! After locking the inn, Xiaoyun followed them. "

You must be careful, never fight him, you'll die...!" Xiaoyun was extremely worried, wishing she could sprout wings and fly to Xiaoyao's side...

But Xiaoyun shouldn't have any internal energy now, what is her plan...?

Just as Xiaoyao was busy searching for Ling'er, people from all over were also taking action for their own purposes.

Little did Xiaoyao know how difficult the road ahead would be… 03-09

Chapter 15 Baihe Town

After exiting the stone gate of Hidden Dragon Cave, there was a slightly winding mountain path, seemingly unused. Weeds grew rampant along the way, obscuring much of the path. Xuehan walked in front, clearing away the weeds and other obstacles to make it easier for Xiaoyao to walk. After

traversing this winding mountain path, they soon met a relatively flat stone-paved road. Following this road would lead to Baihe Town.

Along the way, Xiaoyao and Yueru sometimes chatted and sometimes bickered, making the originally quiet mountain path lively. They really did look like a couple arguing. Xuehan knew Yueru was shy, so she didn't dare laugh too obviously, only giggling quietly to herself.

“You're so heavy! You should lose weight, you little pig!” Yueru couldn't help but say, supporting Xiaoyao as they walked.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense! I only weigh a few pounds, what do you mean 'little pig'? I think you're the one who's the pig!" Xiaoyao retorted, not to be outdone.

"Nonsense, I'm not heavy at all. I pay close attention to my diet," Yue Ru immediately replied.

"Yes, yes, I misspoke. You're not a little pig. With your temper, you should be a tigress,"

Xiaoyao laughed.

"You're asking for it!" Yue Ru said, pinching Xiaoyao's arm hard. Xiaoyao immediately cried out in pain.

"It hurts so much!" Xiaoyao cried out in pain. Yue Ru snorted and ignored him. Xiaoyao smiled bitterly and said nothing more...

This adventure had been so arduous, and he still hadn't found Ling'er... Oh well, at least he had saved some people. Consider it a good deed. Xiaoyao sighed inwardly. Although wandering the martial world was his dream, he couldn't be happy with Ling'er's fate unknown.

Ah… Speaking of those girls, have they gotten rid of the aphrodisiac? They seem fine, strange… Xiaoyao wondered.

Perhaps they comforted each other and it dissipated… Thinking this, Xiaoyao's mind started wandering.

Ah! What am I doing? Ling'er hasn't even been found yet, how can I be thinking like this? No, no…

Realizing this immediately, Xiaoyao quickly banished his lewd thoughts.

(I wonder what Baihe Town will be like later…) Xiaoyao started thinking about other things.

(I really hope Ling'er is there…) Xiaoyao prayed in his heart.

After crossing a bridge, Baihe Town arrived…

True to its name, a clear stream meandered around the village, forming a natural barrier. The houses were scattered sparsely, their simplicity stemming from the fact that most locals made their living through commerce, hunting, or raising chickens and ducks. This simplicity, however, gave Xiaoyao a familiar and comforting feeling.

“Wow… this place is so similar to my hometown,” Xiaoyao remarked nostalgically.

“Hmm? Where is your hometown…?” Yue Ru asked curiously.

“Yuhang, a small village by the sea. It’s very rural there; you might not be used to it,” Xiaoyao replied.

“Of course not! I love it! The quiet and refreshing atmosphere of the countryside is something you can’t find in the city,”

Yue Ru said.

“Oh…” Xiaoyao was somewhat surprised. He had assumed that Yue Ru, born into a wealthy family, wouldn’t appreciate the simple life in the countryside.

“But… don’t you think… something feels a little strange here?” Yue Ru said with a puzzled expression.

Even without Yue Ru saying anything, Xiao Yao had already noticed something was wrong…

The usual scene of children playing freely in the village was gone; the whole village was deserted and eerily quiet. Every house had several strange talismans pasted on its doors, even the windows were covered in them, making it look quite eerie.

“Judging by this, could someone here be possessed?” Xiao Yao guessed.

“Does every house need to have these?” Yue Ru said dismissively.

“Xue Han, what do you think?” Yue Ru turned to Xue Han beside her and asked.

“Ah… I’ve seen exorcism talismans before, but this isn’t one…” Xue Han hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly.

“Hmm…” Xiao Yao and Yue Ru immediately fell into deep thought.

“Anyway, let’s just ask the people here. Let’s go.” With that, Xiao Yao left Yue Ru’s side and tried to walk around on his own.

“Are you alright?” Yue Ru asked worriedly.

“I have to try, otherwise it’s not good to keep supporting you,” Xiao Yao said. In fact, he was also thinking of Yue Ru's feelings. Some of the people here should know Yue Ru, and it would be uncomfortable for them to see her leaning against a young man.

"Hehe... You're concerned about your image, whatever. I won't help you then. If you can't walk, figure it out yourself,"

Yue Ru chuckled, unable to resist teasing him.

"Alright, I can just crawl," Xiao Yao said with a wry smile. He tried to take a few steps, feeling a throbbing pain in his joints and lower back, but he could still manage.

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Yao endured the pain and continued walking with Yue Ru and the others into the village...

After walking for a while, they noticed a man standing ahead, but... something seemed off about him...

"Ugh..." The man groaned in pain, his hands frantically scratching his body, his expression a strange mix of pain and something else.

"Brother... how are you?" Xiao Yao stepped forward and asked with concern.

Upon seeing Xiaoyao, the man's expression changed inexplicably, muttering incessantly, "So itchy... I'm so itchy... Ahh..."

"So itchy?" Xiaoyao asked, puzzled.

"So itchy... My whole body is so itchy..." the man muttered, his bewildered gaze gradually closing... then suddenly turning into a malicious glare!

"!?" The man suddenly lunged forward, opening his mouth wide and pouncing on Xiaoyao. Startled, Xiaoyao reflexively dodged, rolling to the side.

"Hey! What are you... Uh!?" The roll sent another wave of pain through his body. Xiaoyao endured the pain, about to erupt in anger, but when he saw the man's appearance, he froze...

"Ugh..." The man made a strange sound, his blood drying out as if dried by the sun, his body instantly turning a sallow yellow, his fingernails growing wildly long, his eyes turning a blood-red hue, and the four fangs in his gaping mouth becoming sharp like those of a carnivore. He looked like... a zombie!

"Watch out!" Yue Ru knew Xiao Yao's body wasn't very agile yet, so she lashed out with her whip, striking the zombie! But the zombie didn't flinch, hitting her squarely and knocking her to the ground. " Brother

Li!" Taking advantage of the opening, Yue Ru quickly helped Xiao Yao up and pulled him aside. "Ah ... "The whip won't work, use the sword!" With that, Xiaoyao drew his sword, channeled his energy, and the longsword at his waist flew through the air. Amidst the gasps of surprise and fear, the sword flew away in an instant, and with a whoosh, a flash of light appeared, and the zombie's head and right arm were instantly severed, falling to the ground with a thud. The sword circled a few times in the air, and with a whoosh, it returned to its sheath. "Wow... that's really impressive..." Yue Ru said admiringly, feeling quite envious of this sword control technique. "It's alright..." Xiaoyao laughed. "Be careful, he's not dead yet!" Suddenly, a girl's voice rang out, and both Xiaoyao and Yue Ru were startled, immediately turning to the zombie's location. It was truly astonishing; the zombie was using its remaining left hand to support itself as it stood up, slowly walking, its head constantly emitting vicious, strange cries. Even with its head severed, it was still moving! "This..." Seeing that it could still stand up despite its grotesque appearance, Yue Ru gripped the Thunder Soul, intending to cut off its legs as well. "Use the Celestial Master Talisman!" Xiaoyao suggested. Upon hearing this, Yue Ru immediately took the talisman from Xiaoyao and was about to throw it. Just then... " Go!" A soft shout rang out, and two talismans shot out from the crowd. Yue Ru was startled, and the talisman in her hand stopped. The two talismans hit the zombie directly. Judging from the speed at which the talismans flew, the person who threw them didn't have high internal strength . But... "Aaaaaahh ... "Tingting... what's wrong...?" Xiaoyao was filled with questions. "Don't rush to ask, come and sit in my house," Yuting said with a smile. So, the three of them followed Yuting to one of the rooms... "Would you like something to eat?" Yuting asked.

"Ah...no need for that, I'm not hungry yet..." Before he could finish speaking, a rumbling sound came from Xiaoyao's stomach, and Yue Ru couldn't help but chuckle.

"Alright, if you're hungry, stop pretending, you silly goose!" Yue Ru giggled.

"You...!" Xiaoyao's face turned bright red, extremely embarrassed. This was understandable; after fighting all night and having so much "playing," how could he not be hungry? "

Then I'll go prepare it." Yu Ting suppressed her laughter and quickly walked away to avoid making Xiaoyao even more embarrassed.

Soon, plates of side dishes and steaming hot porridge were brought in, and Xiaoyao, Yue Ru, and Xue Han began to eat.

"These are from some villagers; they are very grateful that you saved their wives or daughters,"

Yu Ting said with a smile.

"Oh..." Xiaoyao responded, wolfing down his food.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you!" Yue Ru slapped Xiao Yao hard on the back, almost making him choke. Yu Ting and Xue Han couldn't help but laugh.

"You...!" Xiao Yao glared at Yue Ru, angry and helpless.

"Due to some factors, please forgive them for not being able to come out to thank us in person..." Yu Ting said, suppressing her laughter.

"Of course it's okay..." Xiao Yao said, while paying attention to the "factors" Yu Ting mentioned.

"That zombie just now..." Yue Ru brought the focus back to the main point.

"..." Yu Ting fell silent for a moment, hesitant about whether to tell Xiao Yao and the others.

"Just tell them, we're not exactly outsiders, are we? We won't stand idly by when the village is in trouble." Xiao Yao's chivalrous heart got the better of him, and he blurted out.

"Okay..." Yu Ting nodded, deciding to tell them.

"About half a year ago, zombies appeared at the mass grave in the nearby Blackwater Town..." Yu Ting said.

“At first, many people refused to believe it and didn’t pay attention. But…” Yu Ting’s body trembled slightly as she spoke, as if she were recalling the situation.

“In a short period of time, Blackwater Town disappeared. Zombies filled the entire town, turning it into a dead town.” Yu Ting said, her head lowered.

“That’s amazing… What about the residents of Blackwater Town?” Yue Ru asked.

“…Those zombies would spit out corpse poison. Once bitten or inhaling the poison, one would turn into a zombie in no time. Therefore, most of the people of Blackwater Town…” At this point, it was obvious.

“Oh… But why is White River Town unaffected?” Xiao Yao asked, puzzled.

“Because of White River Town’s advantageous location. It’s mostly surrounded by a river. The river’s barrier slows down the zombie invasion, plus… I’m here.” Yu Ting’s voice trailed off as she finished speaking, and her face flushed.

“…Have you studied exorcism?” Xiao Yao asked.

“Yes, my father is a Taoist priest. I’ve been learning from him since I was little, and I know some talismans and incantations.” Yu Ting replied.

“Oh, your father…” Xiaoyao said, glancing around.

“…He has passed away.” Yuting said, her expression darkening.

“Ah…I’m sorry!” Xiaoyao quickly apologized.

“No, Father fought bravely against the zombies. Although he couldn’t drive them away in the end, he did his best to set up a barrier to protect this place. I’m proud of him…” Yuting said with a smile.

“Hmm…” Xiaoyao nodded in agreement. He was just as proud of his parents.

“What brings you here, benefactor?” Yuting asked.

“Ah, of course, I’ve come to have a cup of tea at your invitation.” Xiaoyao chuckled. Yuting blushed instantly, lowering her head, somewhat at a loss.

“Come on, you’re clearly here to see Ling’er, why are you being so cheeky?” Yue Ru immediately exposed his bluff.

“Hey…I’ve offended you today…” Xiaoyao said helplessly.

“Hmph!” Yue Ru snorted, without answering.

"I see..." Yu Ting said with a smile, but for some reason, she felt a little melancholy...

After the meal, as the four of them walked out of Yu Ting's house, Xiao Yao remembered something...

"Do you know who we should ask if we want to find someone around here?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Hmm? Ask someone... How about you go ask the village chief? He might know." Yu Ting said.

"How do we get there?" Xiao Yao asked. "

Go straight here, then turn right and go through a row of trees, and you'll see it..." Yu Ting said, pointing out the location.

"Thank you, but please forgive us, we have urgent business and can't have another cup of tea with you." Xiao Yao smiled.

"No, no, it's alright..." Yu Ting's face turned pink, making her even more adorable.

"Here we go again, let's go!" Yue Ru grabbed Xiao Yao's collar and dragged him away.

"Hey, your clothes will tear!" Xiao Yao cried out, but Yue Ru ignored him and dragged him away.

"Hehe..." Yu Ting chuckled, waving goodbye to Xiao Yao and the others...

After walking a short distance, Xiao Yao noticed Xue Han walking behind...

"Xue Han, what's wrong? You haven't been saying much since we came out of the cave, and your face seems a little red...?"

Xiao Yao asked suspiciously.

"Ah... because... it's a bit hot..." Xue Han stammered, her face instantly turning even redder.

"Oh...?" Xiao Yao said, his tone revealing disbelief.

"She's afraid to speak because she sees you, you big pervert, she didn't even know that." Yue Ru added casually, timely helping Xue Han out of the awkward situation.

"Go away..." Xiao Yao was too lazy to argue with Yue Ru, so he stopped talking.

"..." Xue Han, walking behind, really did have a flushed cheek as Xiao Yao had said, and had suddenly become quiet. Although Yue Ru felt a little strange, she didn't feel comfortable asking her directly.

Following Yu Ting's directions, Xiao Yao and the others quickly found the village chief's house...

Inside, there were rows of simple beds, filled with patients; many had missing limbs, and some even had purple faces—it was a truly gruesome sight. It seemed this village chief was probably the doctor of Baihe Town.

Xiao Yao looked around but couldn't find anyone who looked like the village chief, so he walked around the house...

(How pitiful... Look at the dependent looks in these patients' eyes; it seems this village chief is quite popular.) Xiao Yao thought to himself.

(Hopefully Ling'er hasn't gone too far, otherwise...) Thinking of the rampant zombies outside and Ling'er's disappearance, Xiao Yao's heart sank even further.

(Ling'er…) Thinking of Ling'er, Xiaoyao walked absentmindedly, and before he knew it, he had arrived at one of the doors…

“!?” In that instant, through the slightly ajar door, Xiaoyao seemed to smell a very familiar scent. His heart skipped a beat, and without regard for politeness, he pushed the door open.

“Ling'er!!” The door slammed open, startling the woman inside. She looked terrified, seemingly frightened by Xiaoyao's rough opening.

But that didn't matter. What mattered was the bed behind the woman, and the girl lying on it…

it really was Ling'er…!

That all-too-familiar figure, that head of soft, flowing hair—Xiaoyao wasn't seeing things; it really was Ling'er…!

"Ling'er…" Completely different from his earlier rudeness, Xiaoyao called softly, as if afraid of disturbing her. His trembling hand gently stroked her hair. The familiar touch overwhelmed him with joy, and tears instantly filled his eyes.

As the saying goes, "A day apart feels like three autumns," and although it had only been less than a day, Xiaoyao felt as if months had passed. Clearly, Ling'er held a very important place in his heart…

"Brother…" At this moment, the young woman beside him couldn't help but speak up. She had initially thought someone had barged in and was about to shout, but seeing Xiaoyao's actions towards Ling'er, she held back. "

Ah… I'm sorry…" Startled by her voice, Xiaoyao quickly wiped away his tears and awkwardly stood up to apologize. "

It's nothing, I was just a little frightened…" the woman said with a slight smile. Her slightly mature face and well-proportioned figure made her appear to be about the same age as Xiaoyao.

"My surname is Han. May I ask if you are this young lady's...?" the girl surnamed Han asked.

"She is my... uh..." Startled by the question, Xiaoyao hesitated, unsure how to answer.

"This Miss Zhao is our friend. She was originally a guest at my house, but later went missing for some reason. Fortunately, she is alright..." Yue Ru's voice came from behind. Before he knew it, Yue Ru, Xue Han, and a man who looked to be about fifty years old were standing at the door.

"You must be Village Chief Han. I am truly sorry for intruding..." Xiaoyao apologized.

"No, no... This is just a place where people come and go. It's not like I've intruded, hehe..." Village Chief Han chuckled, his tone full of kindness, making one feel at ease.

"Ling'er... how is she?" Xiaoyao asked worriedly.

"Hehe... don't worry, she's fine. She... is just asleep..." Village Chief Han replied. Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao felt a great weight lifted from his heart, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

“But right now, her body… is a bit weak and needs proper recuperation. I have a prescription here that would be very helpful for her, but…” Before Village Chief Han could finish speaking, Xiaoyao immediately interrupted.

“No matter how expensive, it’s not a problem, as long as it’s good for Ling’er!” Xiaoyao hurriedly replied.

“No, no, no… Young hero, you misunderstand. Because there have been so many patients lately, we haven’t been able to replenish many medicinal herbs, so we can’t do it.” Village Chief Han said.

“…If you’re missing any herbs, just tell us, and we’ll figure something out.” Yue Ru suddenly interjected.

“Well… we’re currently missing ginseng, snow lotus seeds, he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum), ginkgo seeds, deer antler, and a live carp…”

Village Chief Han listed them one by one.

“A live carp?” Xiaoyao was taken aback. Why did such a strange name for a medicinal herb suddenly appear?

“Well, this prescription requires the liver of a live carp as a medicinal guide…” Village Chief Han explained.

“…I understand.” With that, Xiaoyao quietly led Yue Ru and Xue Han away from the scene…

Reaching the village chief’s house, Xiaoyao stopped, his face showing difficulty…

“Why are you putting on such a bitter face? Wouldn’t Miss Zhao be fine then?” Yue Ru asked.

“No, the problem is those medicinal herbs… they’re not so easy to obtain.” Xiaoyao frowned.

“Heh, useless!” Yue Ru mocked.

“Hey…you!” Xiaoyao was about to get angry when he suddenly realized that since Yue Ru dared to ask what medicinal herbs were available, she must have a way.

“Sister Yue Ru, do you have a way?” Xiaoyao quickly asked, his expression full of expectation.

“Alright, seeing how pitiful you are, I’ll help you this once. I’ll take the three hardest ones—ginseng, snow lotus seeds, and he shou wu—and the rest are up to you.” As expected, Yue Ru said.

“Sister Yue Ru…thank you.” Xiaoyao thanked her gratefully. Yue Ru blushed slightly and quickly turned away.

"I should be back before noon, so you need to find it quickly too!" Carrying Xiaoyao on her back, Yue Ru said, preparing to leave.

"Miss..." Xue Han called out hurriedly from the side.

"Ah, right, Xue Han, I also have something to tell you, let's go." With that, Yue Ru left on her own.

"Wait, wait for me!" Xue Han quickly used her light footwork to follow.

"Ah..." Watching the two figures disappear, Xiaoyao was stunned, unsure what to say.

"Sigh, she's still the same as always, leaving whenever she wants, so capricious..." Xiaoyao muttered to himself with a wry smile.

With only three materials left, Xiaoyao walked on, pondering how to find them...

(There seem to be ginkgo trees behind the village chief's house, so the rest are carp and deer antler...) Xiaoyao thought back.

(Carp... the stream here is quite clear, there should be some; as for deer antler...) Xiaoyao looked troubled; these wouldn't be so easy to find.

(Ah, I remember there were a few animal traps on the way here, maybe there are deer to catch nearby... Okay!)

Having made up his mind, Xiaoyao started by catching carp...

About half an hour later, Xiaoyao sat alone by the river, holding a fishing rod, fishing for carp...

Although Xiaoyao lived by the sea and had experience fishing with Zhang Si and Li San when he was a child, this kind of thing required immense patience. For Xiaoyao, who was anxious to save Ling'er, the longer he waited, the more impatient he became.

(Sigh... You dead carp, will you die if I catch you?!) Xiaoyao looked at the carp swimming freely in the river, and the more he looked, the angrier he became, cursing inwardly.

(No, no… The old fisherman once said that the more impatient you are, the less likely the fish will bite. Think of something else…) Xiaoyao remembered what an old fisherman in Yuhang had said, so he started thinking about other things, trying to distract himself…

Speaking of thinking about other things, he couldn't help but think of Ling'er, of their encounter and love. The more Xiaoyao thought about it, the sweeter it became, and a smile appeared on his face.

But when he thought of her current state, Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel a little worried. He really hoped she was safe and sound…

Thinking of his love, Xiaoyao quickly recalled the martial arts contest with Yue Ru, and their dramatic encounter…

(Hmm… I think this ill-fated relationship might have started the moment I saw her in Suzhou…)

Xiaoyao thought, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

(Speaking of this…) Xiaoyao thought of Yue Ru's feelings…

(I only like Ling'er, and my feelings for her are just… friendly love…) Xiaoyao thought to himself. For some reason, he felt as if he were deceiving himself…

It was undeniable that Xiaoyao was indeed bewitched by Yue Ru, but… Xiaoyao also remembered the warnings from Xiaoyun, Shui Furong, and others… Doing this might hurt Ling'er's heart.

(If… I could find a way to send her home, I wouldn't be so troubled…) Xiaoyao suddenly had a whimsical thought.

(But… I feel a little reluctant…) Xiaoyao didn't really want to lose the days of bickering with Yue Ru.

(Sigh…) He sighed heavily inwardly, revealing the inner conflict within him…

After a long while…

“Hmm… Ah!” Lost in thought, Xiaoyao almost forgot the pulling force coming from his hand, quickly snapping back to reality and carefully pulling the carp onto the hook.

"That was close... If they had gotten away, I don't know how long it would have been before I caught another one." Carrying the jar filled with carp, Xiaoyao walked towards Village Chief Han's house, intending to hand it over to him first.

It was around the time Xiaoyao was fishing...

"Miss Zhao..." Village Chief Han called softly to Ling'er.

"..." Ling'er slowly rose, her expression quite complicated.

"Doctor, thank you for covering for me..." Ling'er said softly.

"It's just a small matter, it's just..." After hesitating for a moment, Village Chief Han decided to speak.

"Forgive my bluntness, but they really care about you, why do you avoid them..." Village Chief Han said slowly.

"I... I don't want them to know... about that matter!" At this point, Ling'er lowered her head, her expression very sorrowful.

"This... alright, Mengci and I will continue to keep it a secret for you," Village Chief Han said.

"It's just... you're an unmarried girl, and already... plus your body is weak, you need someone to take care of you," Village Chief Han said slowly.

“I…” Ling’er looked at her abdomen upon hearing this, and suddenly, tears streamed down her face.

“Miss Zhao…” Han Mengci, who was standing nearby, quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe away Ling’er’s tears.

“Um…may I ask…is that…that young hero’s?” Village Chief Han asked. Ling’er nodded gently, remaining silent.

“Don’t think too much, many things…are hard to say.” Village Chief Han stroked his goatee and said.

“Anyway…focus on recovering first, and then make plans.” Village Chief Han comforted her.

“Mm…” Ling’er hummed softly, her expression still quite downcast.

“I’ve seen countless people, and I believe I won’t be wrong this time either. I think Young Hero Li…he’s not a heartless person.” Village Chief Han said, whether it was meant to comfort her or not, his words certainly offered Ling’er a sliver of solace.

Just then, Xiaoyao also arrived at the door. Ling’er was startled and quickly lay down to continue pretending to be asleep…

“Oh…caught a carp…” Village Chief Han smiled as he walked out the door.

"Next, I'm going to look for deer antlers." After handing the carp he'd just caught and the ginkgo seeds he'd gathered behind the house to the young servant boiling medicine at the door, Xiaoyao was about to leave again.

"Wait! Young Master Li..." Village Chief Han suddenly called out to him.

"You... what kind of person is Miss Zhao to you?" The sudden question left Xiaoyao somewhat bewildered.

"Ah, she's my most important... family!" His face flushed slightly, Xiaoyao still answered.

"Hmm... it's alright." Village Chief Han smiled slightly and said nothing more. Although Xiaoyao was still puzzled, he quickly left...

"Brother Xiaoyao..." Lying inside, Ling'er had of course heard these words, but for some reason, tears streamed down her face.

She knew Xiaoyao's feelings for her, but Ling'er had vaguely realized that Xiaoyao had forgotten something very important...

Walking on the road to Baihe Town, Xiaoyao carefully searched. He had just met an old farmer who told him that there were indeed deer tracks nearby, and Xiaoyao immediately began searching…

There were also some hunters hunting deer in the area, and even if they caught one first, it would

n't matter; Xiaoyao had made up his mind to spend a lot of money to get the deer antlers. (Deer are very alert animals, searching like this doesn't seem to work… I've got it!) Xiaoyao had a flash of inspiration. He used his lightness skill to leap onto one of the trees, and with a few bounds, he was on top. Xiaoyao planned to observe from the tree, so he could see further and wouldn't be spotted by the deer.

He jumped continuously from tree to tree, and even if he stepped on a small branch, he wouldn't break it. Xiaoyao's lightness skill was becoming increasingly proficient.

However, what puzzled Xiaoyao was the flow of internal energy within his body…

(Strange… how come my power seems to have… increased quite a bit…) Xiaoyao stopped on one of the trees, wondering.

After circulating his internal energy, Xiaoyao began to sense its flow. The more he felt, the more astonished he became. His internal energy had indeed increased significantly, nearly forty percent more than in his battle with Yue Ru on the arena!

Xiaoyao pondered for a moment, realizing that he had consumed two snake demon galls, which naturally increased his internal energy considerably. This realization made him understand, and he continued his search.

However, Xiaoyao was only partially correct. The power granted by the snake galls needed to be gradually developed in actual combat; it was difficult to directly increase internal energy. The reason for Xiaoyao's significant increase in power was actually due to Rouya's efforts...

It turned out that Rouya had absorbed Xiaoli's power using a more powerful bedroom technique. Although some of it was later returned, it was mostly her pure internal energy. A small portion of the absorbed external internal energy was absorbed by Rouya, who, with her profound internal energy, fused these external internal energies together and then gave them all to Xiaoyao.

Using his light-footed skills, Xiaoyao leaped continuously, finally landing on what was considered the tallest tree in the area. He climbed to the top and gazed around.

From here, he could see the entire town of Baihe. The houses appeared as small as bricks to him; this panoramic view was exhilarating.

Xiaoyao had similar experiences before. He had a similar feeling at a certain spot on Shili Slope, where the entire Yuhang district was visible. Whenever Xiaoyao was scolded by Xiaoyun and felt down, he would go there to look around, and his mood would improve.

"Hmm… the air is so fresh…" Taking a deep breath, Xiaoyao felt completely refreshed. His anxiety and unease vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of liberation.

"Phew… ah!" He unconsciously stretched, and a sharp pain shot through his muscles and joints, causing him to cry out. He realized the muscle soreness hadn't subsided.

"Ugh, it's all your fault, you brat Xiaorou…" Xiaoyao muttered helplessly to himself.

Inadvertently, Xiaoyao noticed movement not far away. He quickly leaped down, using his lightness skill to run fast but quietly towards the spot. Sure enough, a male deer was foraging there.

Xiaoyao was overjoyed and quickly lowered his body, advancing stealthily. Originally, a single throw of his longsword would have been enough to hit the target, but Xiaoyao really disliked killing; he wanted to capture it alive.

"!?" But after only getting a few meters closer, the male deer seemed to have sensed him. It pushed off with its hooves and ran away quickly. Xiaoyao was startled and didn't have time to think, starting to chase after it as well.

Little did Xiaoyao know that even with his lightness skill at its peak, it could still detect him. How could a deer not smell the human scent? Xiaoyao had never hunted animals before, so of course he didn't know the reason.

Using his lightness skill, Xiaoyao ran at top speed, his eyes fixed on the deer, chasing it relentlessly. Taking advantage of its small size and agility, the stag raced swiftly through the woods. Xiaoyao chased after it, dodging branches and vines, and enduring the aches and pains in his body.

"Ugh…!" Passing through a denser patch of trees, Xiaoyao could no longer dodge and had to grit his teeth and push through. His clothes were torn in several places, some even scratching his skin.

"Damn it! I'll fight you to the death!" Xiaoyao's competitive spirit was ignited, and he channeled all his inner strength, giving chase with all his might.

Just then, the stag seemed to slow its pace slightly. Xiaoyao wasn't about to let this opportunity slip by; he charged forward. Startled, the stag continued running, but Xiaoyao was already behind it, ready to pounce.

"Ah!?" A sudden scream rang out, as if a figure was right in front of him. Xiaoyao, already at full speed and unable to stop, was shocked and crashed directly into it.

"Ouch...!" A sharp pain shot through his lip, as if he had hit something hard. Xiaoyao opened his eyes and froze...

"H-My benefactor...?" He hadn't expected to bump into someone like Yuting. She was startled at first, then her face flushed red. She turned her head away, her slender fingers gently stroking her lips.

"Tingting..." Xiaoyao was stunned. Watching Yuting's actions, he instinctively realized he must have bumped into her teeth. This thought made his face turn red as well, and he was somewhat at a loss.

This was... a kiss!?

"My benefactor..." Yuting called out to him, her face red and her expression very awkward. Xiaoyao paused, then realized he had pinned Yuting to the ground...

"I-I'm sorry!" He quickly got up, apologizing hastily.

"Are you... are you alright?" Yuting asked worriedly as she slowly stood up.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, haha..." Xiaoyao laughed it off, but his heart was aching terribly; his lip was already scraped.

"Ah..." Yu Ting noticed the wound on Xiao Yao's lip and immediately realized it was from hitting her teeth. Her face flushed crimson; she and Xiao Yao...

they both seemed to have thought of the same thing, creating an awkward atmosphere that left them speechless.

"By the way... what are you doing here?" Xiao Yao tried to ease the tension by changing the subject.

"...I came to check the barrier," Yu Ting said softly.

"And you?" Yu Ting asked.

"Uh... I was catching a deer, it ran too fast, I didn't notice you, I'm so sorry..." Xiao Yao said, looking around. Sure enough, the male deer had already disappeared.

"It's alright..." Yu Ting shook her head, indicating it was okay.

Just then, the male deer suddenly appeared near the bushes not far away, seemingly observing Xiao Yao and Yu Ting. Xiao Yao was overjoyed; thankfully it hadn't gone far. He quickly got up, ready to chase after it again.

Seeing this, Yu Ting suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Yao, signaling him not to move. Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment, but obeyed Yu Ting and remained still.

Yu Ting then took out several talismans from her bosom, selected one, and muttered an incantation before holding it towards the deer.

"Freeze!" she shouted. The talisman emitted a beam of light, and the male deer, after a slight movement, froze completely like a wooden statue!

"Wow..." Xiao Yao exclaimed in surprise, never expecting talismans to be so powerful.

"Consider it compensation for not catching it," Yu Ting said with a smile.

"Thank you," Xiao Yao said, slowly walking towards the deer...

After taking the antlers, Xiao Yao let the deer live. Seeing that everything was alright, he followed Yu Ting.

"I didn't expect you to be so amazing," Xiao Yao praised.

"No, no, I'm nowhere near as good as Father. Otherwise, how could I have been captured by the snake demon..." Praised by Xiaoyao, Yuting blushed, looking quite adorable.

"Hmm... such powerful spells, could you teach me?" Xiaoyao asked expectantly.

"Well... only those with pure hearts can learn spells. If bad people learn them, wouldn't they be aiding and abetting evil?" Yuting replied.

"Hey... that's a bit hurtful..." Xiaoyao said, displeased.

"I wasn't talking about you, why do you have to admit it?" Yuting's words stunned Xiaoyao, leaving him speechless.

"Hehe..." Seeing Xiaoyao's reaction, Yuting chuckled.

"Really..." Xiaoyao smiled wryly, then secretly admired Yuting's smile.

(She's quite cute...) Xiaoyao thought to himself.

(But Ling'er is cuter than her...) Comparing them, Xiaoyao couldn't help but think of Ling'er.

Looking around, Yu Ting glanced at the stones marked with strange symbols, her brow furrowing slightly.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yao asked with concern.

"Hmm... the barrier... is getting weaker and weaker," Yu Ting said, her expression immediately darkening.

"The barrier my father set up with his life shouldn't be so easily broken, unless...

the evil power there is far beyond my imagination," Yu Ting said slowly.

"...Then what do we do?" Xiao Yao, sensing the bleak situation, asked.

"Only by eliminating the source of that evil power can we truly defeat the zombies. There must be a demon manipulating them," Yu Ting deduced.

"If we don't think of a way quickly..." Yu Ting pondered, head bowed.

(Tingting... she's truly a good girl who cares about the people...) Looking at her, Xiao Yao praised her inwardly.

(Since we've come to this village, we should at least help out...) He began to consider.

"If..." Yu Ting suddenly spoke.

“If the barrier really breaks, the zombies will launch a massive attack, and then… I’ll have no choice but to…”

Yu Ting hadn’t finished speaking when Xiao Yao interrupted her.

“Don’t think like that!” Xiao Yao shouted, startling Yu Ting.

“Even if you sacrifice your life to rebuild the barrier, it will only delay everyone’s lives. I absolutely won’t allow such a pointless sacrifice!” Xiao Yao said.

“But…” Yu Ting lowered her head, unsure of what to say.

“You have to promise me that no matter what, you will never sacrifice your life to rebuild the barrier, understand?” Xiao Yao emphasized again.

“Because if you die, someone will be sad.” Xiao Yao said.

“I have no family left, and very few friends. Who will be sad…” Yu Ting said softly.

“I don’t know who will be sad, but I’m sure I will be very sad.” Xiao Yao said with a smile.

“…Okay, I promise you.” Yu Ting blushed slightly and nodded in agreement.

"Definitely!" With that, Xiaoyao extended his hand and made a pinky promise with her, the two exchanging smiles.

They chatted for far too long without realizing it, and only when they saw the sun high in the sky did Xiaoyao realize it was already noon. He quickly said goodbye to Yuting and hurried to the village chief's house.

As expected, Yueru was already there when he arrived…

"Hey, are you going to change your name from 'Little Pervert' to 'Big Turtle'? So slow!" Yueru's first words were another sarcastic remark.

"Please, do you think deer antler is easy to get…" Xiaoyao said helplessly, though the truth was that he and Yuting had been chatting too late…

"Hurry up and take it," Yueru urged. Xiaoyao handed the deer antler to the young servant, waiting for him to prepare the medicine.

"How did you get those herbs?" While the servant started preparing the medicine, Xiaoyao asked疑惑地问道, how was he supposed to find those other ingredients…?

"Fool, do you think I'd go to the mountains to look for it? I went home to get it. It would be strange if I couldn't find the medicinal herbs I wanted at home," Yue Ru said smugly.

"Oh, I see..." Xiao Yao suddenly realized.

"You really are a fool. Why bother picking deer antler yourself? You could have just gone back to Suzhou to buy it. Why risk getting all these scratches..." Yue Ru said, looking at the scratches on Xiao Yao's body.

"Haha... Anyway, the doctor has some. Let's go." With that, Xiao Yao and Yue Ru went into the house.

"Where's Xuehan?" Xiaoyao asked as he applied medicine to Village Chief Han.

"She...uh...she'll be here soon." Yue Ru stammered. In fact, she had asked Xuehan to speak to Lin Tiannan on her behalf, lest Lin Tiannan send someone to take her home.

"Young hero, you really risked your life...You even have scars on your face. Luckily, I have a lot of good medicine here, otherwise, you'll have scars." Village Chief Han smiled.

"It can remove scars...By the way! Sister Yue Ru, let Village Chief Han take a look at your hands." Xiaoyao quickly said.

"I...I don't need it!" Yue Ru seemed a little evasive, not really wanting treatment. Xiaoyao stepped forward and forcibly pulled her over.

"You...!" Seeing Xiaoyao's rude behavior, Yue Ru was about to lash out, but seeing Xiaoyao's serious face, she was immediately stunned.

"Don't be silly! Your hands are injured like this, the scars will look terrible. Let Village Chief Han take a look..." Xiaoyao said, pulling Yue Ru's hand in front of Village Chief Han.

"Hmm...this injury is really serious...burns...cuts..." Village Chief Han frowned and muttered.

"..." Seeing Village Chief Han's furrowed brows, Xiaoyao immediately showed a worried expression. Yue Ru saw this and felt both shy and happy.

"It seems this wound was treated with qigong, but it will definitely leave a scar when it heals. I have a way to make the scar less noticeable, but to make it completely disappear..." Village Chief Han looked troubled.

"That's enough, please!" Xiaoyao said gratefully.

Xiaoyao was very concerned about the injury on Yue Ru's hand because he knew that girls were very careful about their skin.

Yue Ru felt a sweet warmth in her heart. Thinking that Xiaoyao cared about her so much, she felt very happy. Finally, Xiaoyao must have feelings for her...

After a long time, the servant finally finished decocting the medicine. Xiaoyao was overjoyed and quickly took it, thanking him repeatedly before walking alone into Ling'er's ward.

Yue Ru knew, of course, that now was not the time to go in together. Just then, Village Chief Han was about to apply medicine to her wounds. She glanced at the closed door, her expression slightly darkening, and followed Village Chief Han into the medicine room to have the medicine applied.

"Ling'er~." Xiao Yao sat on the edge of the bed, calling her softly.

"..." Ling'er's body trembled slightly, but she slowly sat up, raising her head to look at Xiao Yao.

"Brother Xiao Yao..." Ling'er called him softly, her familiar voice carrying a hint of hesitation, as if she had a thousand words to say but didn't know how to express them.

"We can talk later... Come on, take your medicine first..." Xiao Yao said gently. Although he also had a thousand words to say, seeing Ling'er's lifeless face, he immediately forced himself to hold back and fed her the medicine first.

Watching Xiaoyao scoop up a spoonful of medicine, carefully blow on it, and then meticulously lick it himself to make sure it wasn't too hot, Ling'er watched this tender gesture and suddenly burst into tears.

"Ah..." Xiaoyao was slightly startled. Ling'er suddenly leaned into his arms, sobbing.

"What's wrong..." Xiaoyao quickly placed the medicine on the nearby cabinet, then gently embraced Ling'er, asking softly.

"Don't cry, don't cry... If you've been wronged, your brother Xiaoyao will definitely get justice for you," Xiaoyao comforted her softly.

Ling'er cried for a while before finally calming down...

"Brother Xiaoyao..." she softly called out, nestled in his arms, feeling an overwhelming sense of dependence, but also a pang of heartache...

"Brother Xiaoyao, I'm sorry... I... I..." Completely at a loss for words, Ling'er seemed somewhat helpless.

"Alright~, it's good that you're safe and sound..." Xiaoyao smiled. Holding Ling'er in his arms, Xiaoyao felt her warm body temperature and fragrance, a sense of peace filling his body. Finally, Ling'er was safe and sound back in his embrace…

“Right, hurry up and take your medicine, you look so listless…” Xiaoyao said, gazing at Ling'er's face. Her red, tear-stained eyes and cheeks radiated a captivating charm, and Xiaoyao was increasingly moved, unable to tear his gaze away.

“Brother Xiaoyao…” Ling'er blushed, embarrassed by Xiaoyao's gaze, but didn't avoid his eyes.

“Ah… take your medicine, take your medicine…” Ling'er's call startled Xiaoyao, and he smiled awkwardly, picking up the medicine and blowing on it to cool it down.

“It's so bitter…” Ling'er said, frowning slightly.

“This is medicine I painstakingly gathered, you have to drink every last drop, understand…” Xiaoyao smiled as he fed Ling'er.

"Oh..." Hearing Xiaoyao say that, Ling'er finally noticed the scratches on Xiaoyao's clothes and the wounds on his face and arms where medicine was being applied...

"Brother Xiaoyao, thank you..." Ling'er whispered her thanks, never expecting Xiaoyao to go to such lengths for her...

"We're family now, no need for thanks, really..." Xiaoyao smiled slightly and continued feeding Ling'er the medicine.

"Brother Xiaoyao, how... how did you find this place?" Ling'er asked after finishing the medicine.

"Oh... that's a long story..." Xiaoyao then began to describe his adventures in the Hidden Dragon Cave with Yue Ru, though some "scenes" were glossed over with a fierce battle...

"But in the end, we still couldn't find the snake demon who captured you, what a pity..." Xiaoyao spoke at length, not noticing the change in Ling'er's expression...

(Sure enough... Brother Xiaoyao must have forgotten what I said...) Ling'er felt a pang of sadness.

(Should I... explain it to him again...?) Ling'er hesitated.

“Anyway, I’ve already slashed that snake demon’s chest, so identifying him will be easy.” Upon hearing this, Ling’er trembled.

“…” Subconsciously touching her chest, Ling’er revealed a sorrowful emotion, but quickly concealed it.

“It seems Brother Xiaoyao has done a great deed by ridding the people of this scourge.” Trying to change the subject, Ling’er forced a smile.

“Yes, that monster is truly despicable, killing so many innocent girls. One day, I will definitely kill all the evil spirits in the world and rid the people of this scourge!” Xiaoyao said with great ambition, but little did he know that these words would cause great harm…

“…” Ling’er felt a surge of sorrow and almost cried again. These words made her realize that she could no longer explain that matter to Xiaoyao…

Just then, the door suddenly opened, and Yue Ru and Village Chief Han walked in together.

“Sister Yue Ru, how are you?” Xiaoyao quickly asked.

“I’m fine. Village Chief Han said that after a few days of rest, the injury will heal.” Yue Ru held up her bandaged hand and smiled.

"Hehe...why don't you all rest here for a few days before you leave?" Village Chief Han said with a smile.

"But...how could I possibly accept that..." Xiaoyao hesitated.

"Miss Zhao just finished taking her medicine, she'll feel better after resting for a while, and so will Miss Lin; as for you, young hero, I see you seem to have some muscle aches and pains, you also need to rest." Village Chief Han said slowly.

"This...alright." Xiaoyao couldn't help but admire Village Chief Han's medical skills even more; he hadn't expected him to be able to detect his muscle aches, truly impressive. However, more than that, what truly made Xiaoyao want to stay was what Village Chief Han had mentioned about Ling'er needing rest...

"I also have some medicine for muscle aches here, applying it for about a day or two should make you feel better." Village Chief Han said with a smile.

"Village Chief Han, thank you so much! You saved Ling'er and helped us so much..." Xiaoyao said gratefully.

"Hehe... Young hero, you got rid of the snake demon for us and saved our villagers. This is just a small token of my appreciation, don't be so polite," Village Chief Han said politely, turning to go back to his work.

After Village Chief Han left, Yue Ru couldn't help but walk to Ling'er's side and ask with concern,

"Ling'er, after you were captured by the snake demon, how did you get here? I heard from Miss Han that she found you unconscious while gathering herbs. How did you end up there? Did the snake demon do anything to you..." Yue Ru's barrage of questions left Ling'er speechless, especially since she couldn't answer them at all...

"Hey, hey, hey, Yue Ru..." Xiaoyao noticed that Ling'er had something difficult to say and called out to Yue Ru.

"Ling'er is very tired. Ask her later. Asking so many questions like this is just trying to exhaust her,"

Xiaoyao said. Yue Ru thought it made sense and stopped asking questions.

Seeing that Ling'er had been found and seemed to be safe, Xiao Yao glanced at Yue Ru, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to speak.

"Sister Yue Ru, thank you for helping me find Ling'er, thank you so much, but... I think your father will be worried, shouldn't you go back for a bit...?" Xiao Yao's words startled Yue Ru.

"You...!" Yue Ru looked at Xiao Yao in disbelief, she couldn't believe he was actually trying to get rid of her, what was this...

"..." Yue Ru glared at Xiao Yao fiercely, she hadn't expected that now that Xiao Yao had found his lover, he wanted to get rid of her, the third party.

"Hey! Sister Ling'er, let me tell you..." Yue Ru suddenly blurted out a sentence, which startled Xiao Yao, who was confused.

"Last night we were in the Hidden Dragon Cave, he got bitten by a snake, and that's one thing, but he actually bit me..."

Before Yue Ru could finish speaking, Xiao Yao quickly covered her mouth in fright.

"N-nothing! She's just talking nonsense, haha..." Frightened, Xiaoyao covered Yue Ru's mouth while frantically explaining to Ling'er. He hadn't expected Yue Ru to use such a killer move...

"Ugh...!!" Yue Ru couldn't breathe from his suffocation and quickly pried Xiaoyao's hand off.

"Hey! Are you trying to suffocate me?! You think killing me to cover it up means Ling'er won't know... ah!?" Before he could finish speaking, Xiaoyao had already dragged Yue Ru out of the room.

"...??" Ling'er, bewildered, watched as Xiaoyao and the others walked out the door, listening to Yue Ru's angry shouts as they disappeared into the distance.

"What are you doing!?" Xiaoyao dragged her to the secluded backyard of the village chief's house. Yue Ru finally managed to break free and yelled angrily.

"I just asked you what you were doing! Why did you have to bring that up? Do you know how much this affects your reputation!?" Xiaoyao also angrily scolded.

"I...I don't care about that anymore! Who told you to kick me out?!" Yue Ru, enraged by Xiao Yao's scolding, retorted angrily.

"I didn't kick you out..." Xiao Yao denied.

"You still say you didn't?! What do you mean? You've found the person you're looking for, so you don't need me

anymore?! Is my only value to you?!" Her voice grew more and more desperate, and tears welled up in Yue Ru's eyes.

"..." Xiao Yao knew he was in the wrong, and remained silent, unsure of what to say.

"What...what do you take me for?!" Yue Ru's shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and her hands shook incessantly. She lowered her head, and bright tears rolled down her cheeks.

No wonder Yue Ru was so agitated. They had gotten along so well before; his thoughtfulness, gentleness, and personality had made her fall deeper and deeper in love. But now he suddenly wanted to drive her away. How could she accept this…?

“I…” Looking at Yue Ru’s figure, which seemed so petite and delicate, Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment, somewhat at a loss.

“Sister Yue Ru, I’m not as good as you think. There are many people more outstanding than me…” Xiao Yao said slowly.

“I don’t care what kind of person you are. Even if you’re a wicked person who does all sorts of evil, I… I’m still going to follow you…” Yue Ru’s voice trailed off as she spoke, her cheeks gradually turning crimson.

“You…” Xiao Yao felt a sense of foreboding, because he knew that Yue Ru was already deeply in love.

(What to do…) Xiao Yao was extremely distressed. Of course, her beauty and personality also captivated Xiaoyao. He had even considered having her with him, but he also worried about Ling'er…

(No… Ling'er is so good to me, how could I do such a thing? What if Ling'er doesn't forgive me…) If Ling'er is angry and doesn't forgive him… Xiaoyao didn't even dare to think about that scenario.

(Besides… Yue Ru is a good girl, I can't hurt her like this…) Xiaoyao thought.

(Only…) A thought flashed through his mind, and Xiaoyao came up with the worst possible solution…

“Ah!?” With a series of crackling sounds, Xiaoyao suddenly grabbed at Yue Ru's clothes. Yue Ru was completely unprepared, and her clothes instantly tore apart. Her outer garment ripped at the shoulder, hanging on her arm, revealing her snow-white shoulders and the straps of her pale purple undergarment.

"What are you doing?!" Yue Ru exclaimed in surprise. Suddenly, Xiao Yao reached out and grabbed her again. Yue Ru hurriedly dodged, but Xiao Yao used the Flying Dragon Cloud-Piercing Hand technique. With a snap, Yue Ru's clothes tore horizontally along her chest, instantly revealing her pale purple undergarment.

"What! That's the kind of person I am!" Xiao Yao's expression changed from his usual demeanor, revealing a cold expression.

"You...you..." Yue Ru reached out to grab her torn clothes, trying to cover herself, looking at Xiao Yao with shock and suspicion.

"What, are you scared? If you want to stay, give me your body first!" With that, Xiao Yao suddenly pounced, grabbing Yue Ru's hands and holding her down.

However, unexpectedly, she did not resist, letting Xiao Yao hold her and lean her against the wall behind the room...

"...Fine, if you want." Surprisingly, Yue Ru looked directly into Xiao Yao's eyes, appearing quite calm.

"You...!" Her reaction stunned Xiao Yao.

“If…you really are that kind of person, then I’ll accept it…come on!” Yue Ru said softly.

“You, you…!” Xiao Yao was getting angry when he saw that this still couldn’t scare her.

“You’re not afraid…fine! Then I’ll strip you naked in front of everyone and then rape you!” In his anger, Xiao Yao didn’t care what he was saying anymore.

“If you really do that, then I’ll still have to accept it…” Yue Ru said slowly.

“This…” Xiao Yao was really stunned. He didn’t expect Yue Ru to dare to say such things…

Xiao Yao looked at Yue Ru, who he had pinned against the wall. Her eyes, which were usually full of spirit and charm, seemed to have lost something. They were filled with tears of fear and disappointment, making one’s heart ache at the sight. The two stared at each other, and Xiao Yao was attracted by her gaze and couldn’t look away…

“Brother Li…” Yue Ru called softly, her face gradually getting closer, and then she covered his lips with hers.

Warm, moist lips pressed against his, and Xiaoyao's mind went blank, his grip loosening.

Freed from restraint, Yue Ru leaned her entire body against Xiaoyao, seeking a deeper kiss.

A series of smacking sounds filled the air as their tongues intertwined passionately, reaching a state of blissful oblivion.

Deep within Xiaoyao's heart, a voice warned him against this, but who could resist such a passionate kiss? Xiaoyao kissed her deeply, licking Yue Ru's delicate tongue, savoring its warmth.

"Mmm..." As their lips parted, a glistening silver thread appeared. Yue Ru's gaze was unfocused, her eyes vacant.

"Are you still... trying to send me away?" Yue Ru nestled gently in Xiaoyao's arms, asking softly.

"Sigh... if you, my little tyrant, want to keep me, there's nothing I can do," Xiaoyao said with a wry smile. He knew he could no longer make her leave...

"But... you really are fierce, afraid of nothing, I'm at a loss..." Xiaoyao sighed.

"No... I just believe you won't do that. Otherwise, if you really stripped me naked in front of everyone, I would bite my tongue and commit suicide for you!" Yue Ru said slowly.

“This…that’s even worse. I’ll feel guilty if you die,” Xiaoyao said with a wry smile.

“Only guilt?” Yue Ru pouted, looking at Xiaoyao with dissatisfaction.

“Nonsense, what else?” Xiaoyao knew what Yue Ru was talking about, but he deliberately kept quiet.

“Ugh! You bad guy!” Yue Ru was both angry and amused, punching Xiaoyao’s chest hard. Xiaoyao laughed and reached out to block her. Suddenly, Xiaoyao pounced on her and hugged her tightly. Yue Ru cried out, lost her footing, and was pressed against the wall by Xiaoyao.

“Brother Li…” Yue Ru blushed and shyly turned her head away.

“Yue Ru…” This was the first time Xiaoyao had called her by her name. He leaned forward and kissed Yue Ru’s cheek as she turned her head.

Like a bird pecking, Xiaoyao kissed her gently, following her cheek all the way back to her ear.

He lightly licked her ear, and Yue Ru only let out a slight moan, not very strong. Unlike Ling’er, it seemed that that wasn’t Yue Ru’s erogenous zone.

He kissed down her neck, starting from her ear, and then his tongue slid back and forth across her fair skin.

"Ah...it tickles...I can't take it..." Yue Ru struggled slightly, as if protesting. Xiao Yao smiled and ignored her, continuing to lick, causing Yue Ru to close her eyes tightly and moan softly. He

continued licking her neck until he reached her collarbone. Suddenly, a mischievous thought struck him. He opened his mouth and took her collarbone into his mouth, then began to suck...

sucking gently. Yue Ru didn't notice anything amiss, simply tilting her head back and letting Xiao Yao play with her. Gradually, Xiao Yao increased the pressure of his sucking, as if trying to suck up her fair skin.

"Wait...wait...you're too rough...ah..." Yue Ru finally realized something was wrong and began to plead. But Xiao Yao ignored her, continuing to lick and suck.

"Ah...wait a minute...this will leave a mark...um..." Yue Ru struggled, pushing Xiao Yao's body away.

"Heh...this is better..." Xiao Yao said softly, then continued sucking.

"Ah...no, don't do this...it's embarrassing!" Yue Ru panicked, feeling ashamed at the thought of Xiao Yao's mark on her body, and began to struggle. Xiao Yao smiled and released his mouth, revealing a small, alluring red mark on Yue Ru's prominent collarbone...

"Ugh...you're so naughty..." Although Yue Ru couldn't see it, she knew there was probably a mark.

"Leaving my mark, isn't that good?" he whispered in Yue Ru's ear.

"If...what if someone sees...ah...it's embarrassing..." Yue Ru said worriedly, blushing.

"Don't worry...it'll be covered by your clothes..." Xiao Yao said, sticking out his tongue and licking down the mark, making Yue Ru groan with ticklishness.

He licked his way back to where he'd been, when he suddenly noticed the ripped and mangled clothes on Yue Ru's clothes. He then remembered the foolish thing he'd just done…

"The clothes… must have been expensive?" Xiao Yao asked somewhat embarrassedly.

"Extremely expensive! How are you going to compensate me?" Yue Ru glared at him.

"I'm sorry… so what should I do?" Xiao Yao asked, scratching his head.

"What else can I do? It's torn, it's torn, so… so I'll just take it off…" Yue Ru's face flushed red as she said this. Xiao Yao was taken aback. That meant…

"Yue Ru… you…" Xiao Yao looked at Yue Ru, trying to ascertain her thoughts.

"What? Didn't you just say you wanted me to see your true colors? Now you're a coward, too scared to do it?" Even at this point, Yue Ru couldn't resist teasing him.

"You…" Xiao Yao gave a wry smile, hesitated for a moment, and then reached for Yue Ru's clothes.

When Xiao Yao's hand reached her chest, Yue Ru's body trembled slightly. Xiao Yao's hand immediately slowed down. Yue Ru shook her head, indicating that he should continue.

Carefully removing Yue Ru's torn clothes, she was soon left only in a pale purple bodice.

As expected of someone who practiced martial arts, the bodice clung tightly to her figure, making her appear remarkably slender, without an ounce of excess fat; her fair, rosy skin was quite alluring. But the most regrettable thing was Yue Ru's breasts…

Surprisingly, the bodice didn't reveal much; only a slight rise and fall at her chest showed how small her breasts were.

Among the women he had seen before, every one possessed a nice bust. He hadn't expected that Yue Ru, with her tall figure, wouldn't have such a large bust. Although Xiao Yao felt a little disappointed, he still stared intently.

"W-how is it?" Unable to resist, she hugged her chest. Being gazed at by the person she liked, Yue Ru's face grew increasingly red.

"Ah…very beautiful…" Xiao Yao, momentarily captivated, didn't think clearly and replied casually.

"…No way! You're probably thinking, 'Why are her breasts so small?' right?" Yue Ru questioned. Hearing her hit the nail on the head, Xiaoyao's face immediately turned red.

"Uh...but she's very pretty too..." Xiaoyao quickly explained.

"Nonsense, you clearly meant to say that your Ling'er sister is prettier." Yue Ru pouted and said.

"This...don't think nonsense..." Xiaoyao couldn't deny it, so he could only say that.

To prevent Yue Ru from saying anything more out of line, Xiaoyao suddenly leaned closer and kissed her, leaving her speechless.

As he kissed her, Xiaoyao's hand gradually reached towards Yue Ru's chest, gently touching it, but...

"...?" He suddenly froze, because what Xiaoyao's hand touched wasn't a soft touch, but...

"Wait, wait..." Just then, Yue Ru reached out to stop Xiaoyao's touch. She pressed down on Xiaoyao's hand and stared at him.

"Brother Li..." Yue Ru hesitated for a moment, but still decided to speak.

"Because it's you, I'm showing it to you..." Yue Ru said slowly. Xiaoyao looked at her, confused.

After Yue Ru finished speaking, she suddenly took a step back, her face flushed. Her hand hesitated slightly before reaching behind her back to untie the knot of her bodice.

"!?!" Xiao Yao was stunned, because what appeared after the bodice was untied wasn't her fair breasts, but... a layer of white breast binder!?

Yue Ru's hand reached for the breast binder, hesitated for a long time, then gritted her teeth and quickly untied the knot, peeling it off layer by layer. One by one, the white breast binders slowly fell to the ground. Xiao Yao's expression gradually turned to astonishment, his mouth widening in surprise.

No wonder, a pair of breasts no less impressive than Ling'er's were fully displayed before Xiaoyao; seemingly due to pressure, the breasts were flushed red, making one want to reach out and caress them. Although tightly bound, they were not deformed, but rather stood tall and proud, appearing incredibly beautiful; the pink nipples were engorged and erect, also likely due to the pressure.

Overall, Ling'er was so attractive because of her disproportionately large breasts; while Yue Ru's tall figure paired with these breasts was so perfectly proportioned, giving Xiaoyao a completely different visual experience.

"..." Xiaoyao's mouth dropped open, staring blankly at that perfect body. Yue Ru became increasingly shy as he looked at her, and couldn't help but reach out to cover those large breasts.

"Ah..." With his small and cute nipples covered by Yue Ru, Xiaoyao immediately made a sound of dissatisfaction.

"Ru, how...?" Yue Ru asked softly, her face flushed.

"Uh...it's too perfect..." Words failed him, and all he could manage was this one sentence, but his tone perfectly conveyed his admiration. Yue Ru, hearing this, blushed and didn't know what to do.

"Such beautiful breasts, why hide them..." Xiao Yao said regretfully.

"You boys only care about yourselves. Do you think having big breasts is convenient...I'm a martial artist, you know..."

Yue Ru said.

It turned out that ever since Yue Ru developed breasts, she had bound them to prevent them from hindering her martial arts. But the more she bound them, the bigger they became. Yue Ru had been binding them like this ever since, a fact that even her father, Lin Tiannan, probably didn't know.

"I...I've always planned that I would only show them to the person I entrust my future to..." Yue Ru said softly, her face flushed.

"...!?" Hearing Yue Ru's words, Xiao Yao suddenly remembered something important...

(The person he entrusts his future to...me...) Xiao Yao hesitated.

(In the end, not only did it not solve the problem, but it only made things worse. How am I supposed to explain this to Ling'er...?)

Thinking of Ling'er, the lust that Xiaoyao had been aroused by Yue Ru's perfect and graceful body instantly cooled.

(This...sigh...) In the past, relying on his intelligence, Xiaoyao had never had a headache, but now, for a woman, he was completely troubled...

"Brother Li...?" Yue Ru was startled because Xiaoyao suddenly took off his cloak and covered her with it.

"I'm sorry...I think...I'm afraid I need to think about it some more..." Xiaoyao smiled bitterly and turned to leave.

"..." Yue Ru was stunned. At this moment, she had already been aroused by Xiaoyao, her desire was burning brightly, but Xiaoyao was stopping her now...!?

"Wait, wait! You...you're really leaving?" Yue Ru wanted to ask for confirmation. Xiaoyao hesitated slightly, sighed, and took a few more steps forward.

"You big—idiot—!" Yue Ru, unable to contain her anger, yelled.

"If I don't touch you today, don't come crying to me later, hmph!" With a heavy snort, Yue Ru paced back and turned her back to Xiao Yao.

"Haha..." After a few bitter laughs, Xiao Yao walked back to the village chief's house.

"You...!" Unexpectedly, Xiao Yao actually left without a word. Yue Ru clenched her fists, trembling uncontrollably. She felt both ashamed and confused. Was her body really that unsightly? Why, even after all this, would he still refuse...?

"Brother Xiao Yao?" Xiao Yao suddenly walked in and pounced on Ling'er's bed, his body pressing down on Ling'er's thighs, which were covered by the quilt.

"It's nothing..." Xiao Yao said weakly. So many things had happened suddenly, and Xiao Yao's mind was in a mess.

"..." Ling'er looked at Xiao Yao, smiled slightly, and moved Xiao Yao's head onto her lap.

“Brother Xiaoyao, you’ve been running around all night, you should rest. Look at all those dark circles under your eyes…” Ling’er said softly.

“Ah… that’s right…” Xiaoyao was also in a daze, thinking that a nap would be good.

“I’m so sorry for making you so tired because of me…” Ling’er said remorsefully.

“Don’t talk nonsense. As long as you’re safe and sound, no amount of hardship will feel like a burden.” As he spoke, Xiaoyao suddenly remembered something.

“Ling’er, I need you to tell me honestly, are you… really alright?” Thinking of what Yue Ru had gone through, Xiaoyao couldn’t help but ask worriedly.

“Yes…” Ling’er smiled bitterly and nodded.

“That’s good…” Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, and all the weight on his heart was lifted.

“Then I’ll take a nap first.” After saying that, Xiaoyao sat down in the chair, resting his head on Ling’er’s thigh through the quilt, intending to sleep first.

As soon as he closed his eyes, Xiaoyao felt an overwhelming fatigue rush to his head, and soon he fell asleep…

Ling'er watched quietly as Xiaoyao drifted off to sleep, her expression a complex mix of emotions…

“…” Looking at Xiaoyao's sleeping face,

Ling'er gently stroked his slightly disheveled hair. “Brother Xiaoyao…” she whispered, a sorrowful look on her face.

“You must have forgotten that I told you I was… a demon…” she said slowly, her expression darkening.

“But… you hate demons so much now…”

“What if… I told you… that the snake demon you slashed… was me…” she said, pressing her hand to her chest.

“Would you… kill Ling'er…” she said, her body trembling…

“What if I told you… I have your…” she said, her gaze falling to her abdomen.

“Would you kill us…” she said, growing increasingly agitated, tears streaming down her face.

"I'm so scared..." Ling'er said sadly, a few tears falling onto Xiaoyao's cheeks.

"Tell me... what should Ling'er do..." A feeling of helplessness filled Ling'er's whole body...

Facing the sleeping Xiaoyao, Ling'er said these words. If Xiaoyao had heard, the future might have been different, but it seemed to be destined. Xiaoyao was already fast asleep and couldn't hear Ling'er's distress...

The only thing that was certain was that the sleeping Xiaoyao felt happy and content, because he was sleeping on the body of his beloved.

When he woke up, a new destiny awaited him... 03-09
Chapter 16 The Mysterious Woman

It seemed that he was too tired, because when Xiaoyao woke up, it was already dark.

Xiaoyao looked around and found that Ling'er had gotten out of bed and disappeared. He was now lying on the bed where Ling'er had been lying. Ling'er must have moved him up there...

"Sigh... sleeping soundly..." Xiaoyao smiled bitterly and muttered to himself.

"What time is it..." Xiaoyao asked, puzzled, looking out at the pitch blackness. How long had he been asleep?

"Ling'er..." Xiaoyao was worried that Ling'er might get hurt getting out of bed like this, so he quickly got up and put on his shoes.

He noticed that Xiaoyao's boots were neatly placed on the floor at the corner of the bed. The boots, which should have been covered in mud and dust, were now spotless, which surprised Xiaoyao slightly.

Not only that, Xiaoyao also discovered that his outer clothes had been removed and neatly folded on a nearby cabinet. More importantly, his face and arms had been wiped clean...

"Really..." Xiaoyao smiled slightly. This must have been Ling'er's doing. She had helped him undress and wipe his shoes, and then washed his face. Such thoughtful actions filled Xiaoyao with sweetness.

Stepping out of the room, Xiaoyao looked around and soon saw Ling'er's figure...

Her petite figure was sitting on a small stool beside one of the hospital beds. On the bed sat a middle-aged man facing her. The man's left arm below the elbow was severed, and bright red blood seeped through the bandage, staining it dark red—a truly horrifying sight.

The man's expression revealed unease and pain. Seeing this, Ling'er smiled gently, reassuring him not to be afraid. That lovely and innocent smile was enough to melt any man's heart. The man's unease gradually subsided as he watched Ling'er's every move.

Ling'er stretched out her hand, made a gesture, and murmured an incantation. Suddenly, a beam of light emanated from her palm. Ling'er carefully directed the light at the man's severed arm…

The soft light, like sunlight, gently enveloped the wound. The man was increasingly astonished, for he felt the pain and itching gradually disappear, and even the bleeding seemed to have stopped.

"Thank you!" the man said, surprised and grateful, bowing repeatedly in thanks.

"Don't thank me for such a small thing…" Ling'er smiled slightly, stopping him from continuing to thank her.

"So beautiful, and possessing magical powers, you must be a fairy descended from heaven! Please accept my bow." With that, the man was about to kneel.

"No, no! I... I'm not a fairy, don't make wild guesses." Ling'er said, her face slightly flushed and a little embarrassed. She quickly helped him up, preventing him from kneeling.

"Rest for a day or two, and you'll be fine. Then you can go back to work..." Ling'er said. The man thanked her repeatedly before slowly walking out of the village chief's house.

Ling'er smiled wryly, stood up, and walked to the cubicle next to the ward, which turned out to be a room for storing medical equipment.

Walking to the water vat in the corner, Ling'er scooped up some water and splashed it on her face. Her tender face was covered with glistening water droplets. Because of the cool feeling, Ling'er showed a happy expression. A few small water droplets hung on her hair, like pearls or small glass marbles...

Just as Ling'er finished washing her hands, a pair of hands suddenly wrapped around her neck from behind. Ling'er was startled at first, but when she saw the hands holding her and felt the warm body temperature coming from behind, Ling'er knew who it was...

"Brother Xiaoyao..." Ling'er called him softly. Xiaoyao rested his head on her left shoulder. Ling'er turned to look at him, and a strong masculine scent immediately filled her nostrils.

"Did I wake you?" Ling'er asked worriedly.

"No, why do you ask?" Xiaoyao asked, puzzled.

"Because... I just moved you to the bed and you woke up. Did I wake you...?" Ling'er asked.

"No, I woke up on my own. I was really fast asleep, I didn't even feel it." Xiaoyao said with a wry smile.

"Because you're too tired..." Ling'er smiled.

Xiaoyao smiled back. In fact, being physically tired was a factor, but the most important thing was that he was sleeping in the arms of his beloved, so he slept especially peacefully and soundly...

"Hehe..." Xiaoyao suddenly chuckled softly. Ling'er was startled, not understanding.

"Hmm... My Ling'er is actually a fairy reincarnated..."

Xiaoyao chuckled. "Ah... you heard everything..." Ling'er blushed and said shyly.

"They seem very surprised by magic..." Ling'er said.

“Of course, magic is a rare thing in the common folk. Even I was quite surprised when I first saw it…” Xiaoyao explained.

“Surprised? Were you surprised because lightning was about to strike you, or because I used magic?” Ling’er teased, referring, of course, to their first meeting.

“Alright, you’re laughing at me, watch this!” Xiaoyao said, tickling Ling’er’s armpits. Ling’er laughed so hard she shook, struggling to escape.

After a struggle, Xiaoyao stopped tickling her, then wrapped his arms around her neck again, pressing her petite back against his chest.

Ling’er’s unique fragrance wafted over, giving Xiaoyao a sense of peace and sweetness—a feeling only Ling’er could give him…

“…Why did you suddenly think of healing these people?” Xiaoyao whispered in Ling’er’s ear.

“Hmm…because…the doctor saved me, it’s only right to help him out,” Ling’er replied.

"Hehe...that's more like you..." Xiaoyao smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"That's more like me?" Ling'er asked疑惑地.

"Yes...because I feel like you haven't been in a good mood...although you tried to hide it, how could you hide it from me?" Xiaoyao said slowly. Ling'er was slightly startled, not expecting that Xiaoyao had noticed her emotional changes.

"And...I feel like you don't look well, could something be wrong with your health? Don't hide it from me..." Xiaoyao asked worriedly. Ling'er subconsciously pressed her hand to her abdomen, her heart sinking. She hesitated, wondering whether she should tell him...

"It's nothing, the doctor said that taking some medicine will be fine, Brother Xiaoyao, you're overthinking it..." Ling'er forced a smile, not knowing why, she just couldn't bring herself to say it, the unease coming from the depths of her heart made Ling'er unable to speak...

"Oh..." Xiaoyao immediately stopped doubting, because he fully trusted the medical skills of Village Chief Han. However, he still sensed that Ling'er was hiding something from him…

“By the way, I remember the Guanyin Mantra is quite physically demanding. Your health isn't very good yet, so you shouldn't do it…” Xiaoyao said with concern.

“Hmm… I'll stop when I'm done…” Ling'er nodded and gently pulled her hand away from Xiaoyao’s.

“But…” Xiaoyao was still a little worried.

“I’m going to get busy.” With a slight smile, Ling'er left on her own…

“…” If he insisted that Ling'er not do it, it would probably make her angry, so Xiaoyao didn’t stop her and let her go.

Afterwards, Xiaoyao had nothing to do, so he slowly walked out of the village chief’s house…

The bright yellow moon hung high on the eastern mountain, it seemed that night had only just begun. Xiaoyao strolled quietly alone, kicking the pebbles under his feet.

For some reason, Xiaoyao sensed that Ling'er was hiding something, but she was unwilling to talk about it, and he couldn't do anything about it. He felt somewhat discouraged. Was he really not trustworthy enough for her to be unwilling to share her feelings...?

However, Xiaoyao never expected that the root of Ling'er's troubles lay with him...

When he was troubled, the first person Xiaoyao wanted to talk to was someone. When it came to who to talk to, the first person he thought of was Yue Ru. However, he had looked for her at the village chief's house, but she didn't seem to be there; she must have gone out.

He couldn't find Yue Ru, and Xue Han wasn't there either. But even if Xue Han were there, he didn't want to reveal his troubles to her. Feeling a sense of frustration at having no one to talk to, Xiaoyao spat and slowly walked further and further away...

"Miss Zhao." At the village chief's house, Village Chief Han walked in from outside, saw Ling'er, and spoke.

"Where is Young Hero Li?" Village Chief Han asked.

"Hmm? Brother Xiaoyao... he probably went for a walk." Ling'er guessed.

"Uh..." Village Chief Han frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"What's wrong?" Ling'er asked worriedly.

"No... Miss Zhao, please don't misunderstand, it's just... nighttime is when zombies roam, so I usually forbid everyone from going out. Young Master Li is highly skilled in martial arts, so even if he encounters them, he should be fine." Village Chief Han said, trying to reassure Ling'er.

(But... I just hope he didn't cross the river and leave the village, because Blackwater Town is not far away, and there are a bunch of zombies. No matter how skilled Young Master Li is

, he'll be in trouble...) Village Chief Han worried inwardly. (But I put up a notice board on the bridge by the river, so he should be fine...) Village Chief Han thought.

However, things didn't go as planned. Xiaoyao walked and walked, and now he was already on the small mountain road outside the village...

Since Xiaoyao used to go to Shili Slope to calm down when he was in a bad mood, he had now developed a habit of instinctively heading into the mountains. As he crossed the bridge, the sky grew dark, and Xiaoyao, distracted, failed to notice the white sign beside the bridge and the talismans pasted on it…

“Sigh…” Walking along the dark mountain path, Xiaoyao sighed deeply.

“Where did Yue Ru go… When I want to argue with her, she’s never there; when I don’t want to, she’s always up to me, really…” Xiaoyao muttered to himself.

“…” Mentioning Yue Ru, Xiaoyao quickly recalled what had happened at noon…

Her usual proud and confident expression was gone, replaced by a shy and slightly uneasy look. Her face was so charming; it would be a shame not to kiss her a few times.

Especially her full, white breasts, adorned with a pink nipple—so tempting, it was impossible not to want to take a bite. As he pondered, Xiaoyao felt a surge of excitement, his head throbbing, and his lower body beginning to stir…

(Ah…why didn’t I pounce on her back then…when did I become such a kind person…)

Xiaoyao chuckled bitterly.

(Sigh…but it’s alright this way, at least I haven’t done anything to wrong Ling’er…) Xiaoyao consoled himself.

(Ahhh~, but I can’t forget it even if I want to!) Xiaoyao inwardly groaned; such a stunning and perfect body would probably linger in his mind for a long time…

Just as Xiaoyao was lost in thought, he unknowingly found himself in a strange place…

he didn’t know what strange place he had wandered into, but before him stood a rather large building, clearly a Buddhist temple from the outside, but…

it was dilapidated…! Although it was pitch black, the moonlight allowed Xiaoyao to clearly see the temple's dire state. The roof was riddled with holes, offering no shelter from the rain. Half of the wall facing Xiaoyao had collapsed, reduced to a pile of broken bricks…

Xiaoyao walked around the temple, puzzled, and realized that almost no wall was intact. However, judging from the newly sprouted weeds, it seemed the ruins were recent.

After walking around, Xiaoyao reached the main gate. The two gates were nowhere to be seen; the red wooden fragments scattered on the ground appeared to be the remains. Xiaoyao was surprised and picked up a few pieces to examine them…

(…not burned, not cut by weapons, but rather…knocked down?) The more Xiaoyao looked, the more confused he became. It was clearly damaged by external force, but what force could possibly break two doors, much larger than a person, into small fragments? If it was slowly knocked down, that would be too much of a waste of time.

Looking towards the main gate, Xiaoyao noticed a crooked plaque on the door, seemingly about to fall over. In the darkness, he had to approach to see clearly. Upon closer inspection, he finally discerned the characters: Jade Buddha Temple. Jade Buddha

Temple… Xiaoyao murmured to himself, a surge of curiosity welling up within him. He couldn't resist the urge to go inside and explore.

Stepping through the gate, Xiaoyao looked around slowly as he walked…

The interior was in ruins; tables, chairs, and other items were broken into pieces, and a huge incense burner lay scattered to one side—truly a scene of utter chaos.

Reaching the main hall, Xiaoyao suddenly stopped in his tracks, startled…

Candles were lit around the hall, illuminating the previously dim space. In the very center stood a colossal golden Buddha statue. Xiaoyao had never seen such a large Buddha statue before, and its solemn posture filled him with reverence.

However, what surprised Xiaoyao was not the Buddha statue itself, but rather the person kneeling before it…

dressed in very simple white clothes, filthy and covered in mud and dust. Because her back was to Xiaoyao, it was impossible to tell if she was male or female; her hair was quite short, barely covering her ears, and her frame was rather thin, making it impossible to guess her gender.

Xiaoyao quietly approached, but the person seemed too focused to notice Xiaoyao's approach. Xiaoyao walked a short distance away, wanting to see her face clearly.

(A woman…!) Upon seeing her, Xiaoyao was slightly surprised. Indeed, with delicately drawn eyebrows, a small oval face, and pale pink lips, she was a girl, and seemed to be about the same age as Xiaoyao.

She kept her eyes closed, completely unaware of Xiaoyao's presence; her lips trembled slightly, as if she were chanting something; her hands were clasped together in front of her chest, her expression one of focused worship. Although she was covered in filth, Xiaoyao could still sense her wholehearted devotion and piety…

However, what Xiaoyao couldn't understand was that the woman's face, the elbows peeking out from her sleeves, and her kneeling calves were all filthy; even stranger, she was barefoot…?

(Could she be a beggar…?) Xiaoyao wondered to himself. The woman continued to worship like this, and Xiaoyao dared not utter a sound, simply watching her entire being pour into prayer…

After a long while, the woman slowly opened her eyes, as if she had finished praying. Then, upon opening them, she saw Xiaoyao, and her expression immediately turned to surprise…

“Who are you? Why are you here…?” the woman slowly rose and asked softly, her tone full of suspicion and wariness.

“Don’t be afraid, young lady. I was just taking a leisurely stroll and ended up here without realizing it,”

Xiaoyao replied, feeling quite incredulous. The woman’s voice seemed to echo from afar, as if it came from the depths of her heart, both near and far, soft and gentle, leaving a deep impression…

“A stroll? You’re quite brave…” the woman said.

“Why?” Xiaoyao asked doubtfully.

“Nighttime is when zombies roam… You must have come from Baihe Town, how could you not know?” the woman said.

“Uh… right, haha…” Xiaoyao chuckled awkwardly, secretly relieved that he had narrowly escaped death. His mind was preoccupied with a bunch of worries, making him forget about the zombies. Luckily, his aimless wandering hadn't led him to Blackwater Town. Now, standing before Xiaoyao, he noticed that the woman was quite tall, almost as tall as him. Her simple white onesie perfectly accentuated her slender figure, the slight curves of her chest and hips. Tall and thin, she gave off a frail impression…

“But young lady, aren't you afraid of zombies coming this late?” Xiaoyao asked with concern.

“…They wouldn't dare touch me,” the woman replied slowly. Xiaoyao was taken aback, finding the answer strange and puzzling.

“Why…?” Xiaoyao asked curiously.

Just as the woman was about to answer, suddenly, the window to her left was smashed open with a loud bang. Both Xiaoyao and the woman were startled and looked in the same direction…

They saw a headless zombie crawling in through the window; blood was gushing from its severed neck, and it was only wearing a pair of blood-stained blue trousers. Its naked upper body was even more horrifying, covered in maggots that had bitten holes in its flesh—it was utterly disgusting.

The woman stared at it, her expression showing no fear, but rather displeasure…

Suddenly, the zombie raised its severed left hand and spat out a glob of blood-red liquid, shooting directly at the woman. The distance was considerable, and the spray wasn't fast enough to dodge it, but to her surprise, the woman's face showed astonishment; for a moment, she froze, unable to move!

"Watch out!!" In the blink of an eye, Xiaoyao rushed forward. Seeing that the blood was liquid and his longsword couldn't block it, he immediately grabbed the woman's waist and rolled to the side without hesitation.

After rolling twice, Xiaoyao suddenly realized they were about to crash into the leg of the altar. He pulled the woman into his arms and used his back to shield her from the blow.

A blunt sound rang out, and a sharp pain shot through Xiaoyao's back. The small Buddha statues on the altar shook, showing the force of the impact.

"You...you..." The woman was stunned, looking at Xiaoyao in disbelief.

"Are you alright?" Xiaoyao asked

, enduring the pain. "No...but you..." The woman looked at Xiaoyao with concern.

"Haha, it's alright, it's alright..." As he spoke, Xiaoyao realized he was still holding her and quickly let go.

"I'm sorry, the situation was urgent, I didn't think much..." Xiaoyao said somewhat awkwardly, having hugged the woman he was meeting for the first time so tightly... Just

as the woman was about to speak, the approaching footsteps of the zombie interrupted their conversation. Xiaoyao, enduring the pain, was about to stand up and deal with it when the woman stood up before him... Just

as Xiaoyao was about to call out to her, he saw the woman slowly walk forward, staring at the zombie. In an instant, Xiaoyao felt a murderous aura he had never seen before emanating from the woman. Such a cruel and chilling murderous aura was unbelievable, coming from her.

The woman extended her right index finger, pointing it at the zombie. The next second, the zombie exploded!

It was as if the air itself had burst it apart; the zombie turned into chunks of flesh, scattered all over the ground.

"..." Xiaoyao's mouth gaped open, both surprised and incredulous...

"Are you alright?" The woman turned around and asked with concern. The cruel killing intent that had been there vanished in an instant. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Xiaoyao wouldn't have believed that this seemingly delicate woman could possess such a strong killing intent.

"I'm fine... Ugh!" Before he could finish speaking, Xiaoyao suddenly groaned in pain, feeling a slight pain in his chest. Looking down, he discovered that his clothes had dissolved on his left chest, revealing skin that was red, swollen, and painful, as if burned. It turned out that the zombie's blood was poisonous...

Upon seeing this, the woman immediately reached out and gently pressed her hand against the wound. With just a touch, Xiaoyao immediately felt a cool sensation, and the pain vanished instantly, replaced by an icy feeling.

"Thank you, young lady..." Xiaoyao smiled.

"You... why did you save me?" the woman suddenly asked, her expression full of confusion.

"Huh? This... isn't this just the way it is..." Xiaoyao answered instinctively when asked this question.

"But... but I'm so dirty, look at your clothes..." the woman said worriedly. Xiaoyao then realized that he had gotten covered in filth while hugging her, and not only that, he also smelled a stench like rotting flesh…

“It doesn’t matter, I can just wash it off later,” Xiaoyao smiled.

“Besides, what’s wrong with getting like this after saving a beautiful girl?” His old habit kicked in again, and Xiaoyao teased.

“Beautiful…me?” The woman was stunned, asking in confusion.

“Well, although your appearance is covered by dirt, if I’m not mistaken, you should be a beautiful and lovely girl,” Xiaoyao chuckled.

“…” The woman suddenly lowered her head and fell silent.

Xiaoyao felt a little uneasy. He was used to teasing girls, and without realizing it, he had spoken again. Seeing the woman suddenly fall silent, he worried that he might have offended her…

“My hair is so short, like a boy’s, don’t joke like that…” the woman said with a self-deprecating laugh.

Xiaoyao then realized that the woman wasn't unhappy, but simply thought he was just joking. He quickly said, "I'm not joking, I mean it, you look very beautiful like this!"

"Really?" the woman asked doubtfully.

"Really, short hair like this makes you even more charming," Xiaoyao smiled. Although the woman was dirty and her short hair was a bit messy, making her look somewhat disheveled, even Xiaoyao wasn't sure if she would look good...

"You...you don't mind that I'm dirty, and you say I'm cute, thank you so much..." the woman said softly, her face slightly flushed.

"It's nothing..." Xiaoyao returned the greeting, feeling quite incredulous, because her voice was so mysterious... seemingly gentle, yet bold, with a unique melody. Even when she thanked him, the sound was like an unprecedented soft sound resonating in his ears, making Xiaoyao's heart flutter...

"Miss, your voice...is very special..." Xiaoyao couldn't help but say.

"Yes, so what..." the woman's face suddenly darkened, revealing displeasure, and she quickly said.

Xiaoyao sensed that he shouldn't have asked about this, and quickly shut his mouth.

(Oh dear... I think I said something I shouldn't have...) Xiaoyao thought to himself as he observed her expression.

(That voice... it must be natural, such a unique tone...) Xiaoyao thought to himself.

At this moment, the woman suddenly stood up and slowly walked towards the gate. Xiaoyao quickly stood up and followed behind...

The woman walked all the way out of the Jade Buddha Temple, then walked a short distance further, finally stopping in a patch of messy grass. She stood in the grass, gazing up at the moon in the sky.

Xiaoyao quietly stood beside her, secretly glancing at her expression. She saw that her displeasure was gone, so she must be alright, but instead, her face was filled with worry and unease...

"Miss... if there's anything on your mind, you might as well talk about it. It will make you feel better, and maybe I can even help you solve it," Xiaoyao said with concern.

"You're not my friend, so why have you been helping me?" The woman turned to look at Xiaoyao and asked curiously.

"We've chatted, I've helped you, aren't we friends now?" Xiaoyao smiled.

"Do you have friends who don't know each other's names, you idiot?" the woman chuckled.

"That's easy. My name is Li Xiaoyao. Now you know my name, so you're my friend."

Xiaoyao argued with a laugh.

"Nonsense..." The woman couldn't help but chuckle, a slight but profound laugh that pierced Xiaoyao's ears and struck his brain, causing his heart to pound again.

"You're really something... Okay, my surname is Liao." The woman revealed her surname.

“Miss Liao, then we’re friends,” Xiaoyao said with a smile.

“Yes, yes, hee hee…” Miss Liao chuckled softly.

After a few laughs, Miss Liao calmed down, looked up at the sky, and suddenly sighed again…

“Miss Liao…” Xiaoyao was about to speak when Miss Liao stopped him…

“Young Master Li, you’re a good person, but my troubles are something no one can help me with…” Miss Liao said, her face full of self-mockery.

“Even Heaven won’t save me…” she said sadly, her hand unconsciously clutching her chest. Only then did Xiaoyao notice the small Buddhist prayer beads hanging around her neck.

“Don’t say that. Once you give up hope, once you give up your faith in Heaven, then there’s really no hope…”

Xiaoyao couldn’t help but say.

“What do you know! Don’t think you know everything!” Miss Liao shouted angrily.

“I’ve been on the verge of death, so I know some things. No matter how dangerous or adverse the situation, if you really give up, then it’s really over. Only by not giving up is there hope,” Xiaoyao said slowly.

"This..." Miss Liao was at a loss, looking blankly at Xiaoyao.

"Keep believing. A friend of mine once said that as long as you have a good heart, Heaven will never abandon you. Believe me, it won't abandon you..." Xiaoyao comforted her softly. As for the friend he was referring to, it was of course Ling'er. These were words Ling'er had told him before, and now Xiaoyao was using them.

"Thank you..." Miss Liao thanked him again.

"Perhaps you're right, but... how much longer will this kind of life continue..." Miss Liao said with a sorrowful expression.

Xiaoyao was about to speak when Miss Liao suddenly took a few steps and said, "Our meeting can only be described as fate. Perhaps... we will never meet again. Farewell!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she lightly leaped, floating like a ghost, covering more than ten steps in a single leap. Her martial arts skills surprised Xiaoyao greatly.

"Miss Liao!" Xiaoyao quickly called out to her.

"..." The Liao girl suddenly stopped, turned around to look at Xiaoyao, bowed deeply, waved gently, and then quickly turned and leaped away. Before Xiaoyao could even speak, she was already far away...

"Liao girl..." Xiaoyao still had many questions to ask, but she had left so suddenly. Xiaoyao sighed, looked at the sky; it was already very late. He then began to walk back towards the village...

Touching the dark sky, he walked down a rather unfamiliar mountain path. Since Xiaoyao had come up here unknowingly, he had no idea how he got there. Fortunately, this was the only path. Xiaoyao walked carefully, wary of any zombies that might appear.

(Liao girl... it's a pity I still don't know her name...) Walking carefully, Xiaoyao thought with some regret.

(What a special girl…) Xiaoyao couldn't help but recall her voice; every word she spoke was so memorable…

(Is she also a resident of Baihe Town…??) Xiaoyao wondered.

And so, without encountering a single zombie, Xiaoyao returned to Baihe Town safely…

Entering the house, the first thing Xiaoyao saw was Village Chief Han inspecting the patients…

“Ah… Young Master Li…” Village Chief Han smiled with relief upon seeing Xiaoyao.

“Village Chief Han,” Xiaoyao greeted him with a smile.

“Your sudden departure worried me; you might have left the village. Zombies are rampant outside; you can't leave!” Village Chief Han said.

“Sorry, sorry…” Xiaoyao laughed it off; he couldn't admit he had actually gone outside…

“By the way, Village Chief Han, is there a girl here surnamed Liao?” Xiaoyao remembered her and immediately asked.

“Liao? Hmm… no, that's a very unusual surname; I don't recall it…” Village Chief Han thought for a moment before answering.

"Hmm..." Xiaoyao nodded, a few more doubts arising about the woman's identity. He remained silent and walked back to his room.

Just as Xiaoyao was about to enter, Village Chief Han called out to him...

"Young Master Li, I have something I'd like to ask you..." Village Chief Han began.

"?" Xiaoyao stopped, waiting for Village Chief Han to speak.

"Young Master Li, do you remember what you told me before, about your relationship with Miss Zhao..." Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao gasped, his face immediately flushing red.

"Isn't that right?" Village Chief Han asked again, as if confirming.

"Hmm..." Although embarrassed, Xiaoyao nodded, his face still red.

"Don't be nervous, I won't tell anyone. I just want to ask, what do you think of your relationship?" Village Chief Han walked to Xiaoyao's side and asked in a low voice.

"Ah...?" Xiaoyao was taken aback, somewhat confused by Village Chief Han's meaning.

"What I mean is, have you considered marrying her or something..." Village Chief Han had barely finished speaking when Xiaoyao exclaimed again, his face turning even redder.

No need for him to say it; Xiaoyao had thought about it more than once—how exciting it would be to marry Ling'er!

Village Chief Han's words reminded Xiaoyao of his mission on this long journey... he was to meet Ling'er's mother and propose marriage to her in person.

"I... my purpose for this journey is to find Ling'er's mother and then propose to her in person..." As he spoke, Xiaoyao's voice grew softer and softer, increasingly embarrassed.

"Oh... very good, very good..." Village Chief Han smiled, patting Xiaoyao's shoulder approvingly.

"In that case, I'm relieved." Village Chief Han chuckled softly.

"Huh?" Xiaoyao looked at Village Chief Han in confusion, not understanding.

"Nothing! I was just talking to myself..." Village Chief Han laughed it off. Xiaoyao, unaware of the matter, naturally had no idea what Village Chief Han was talking about…

“However, Miss Zhao is truly blessed. Not only is she incredibly beautiful, but she is also so gentle and obedient, and she possesses such magical abilities. She’s truly amazing…” Village Chief Han praised. Xiaoyao smiled slightly, feeling quite pleased and proud to hear others praising Ling’er.

“…Seeing her constantly using magic to heal people, won’t she be alright?” Village Chief Han murmured.

“Wait! You’re saying Ling’er is still healing someone!?” Upon suddenly hearing such a startling statement, Xiaoyao quickly asked.

“Yes…she’s in the next room now…” Before Village Chief Han could finish speaking, Xiaoyao had already dashed over using his lightness skill…

passing through a door on the right, he arrived at the next ward. The first thing Xiaoyao saw was Ling’er standing beside one of the beds.

A man in his early twenties was lying on the hospital bed, his face pale and his jaw clenched, trembling. His right forearm was covered in blood near his wrist, a mangled wound that looked like a bite.

Ling'er reached out and stopped a centimeter above the wound, and began to cast a spell. Soon, the bleeding stopped rapidly and the wound began to heal. His pale face gradually faded and returned to its normal color.

Seeing this, Xiaoyao was both angry and anxious. Ling'er had been casting spells since he left, and seeing her exhausted face, panting heavily, and even her hands trembling slightly, Xiaoyao felt a pang of heartache just looking at her.

The spell's light lasted for several seconds, until the man's wounds healed and the bluish color on his face faded, before Ling'er stopped casting her spells...

"Alright..." Ling'er carefully covered the sleeping man with the blanket. She had just gotten up when she felt a tightness on her wrist. She quickly turned her head and saw Xiaoyao expressionlessly grabbing her wrist.

"Brother Xiaoyao?" Ling'er was slightly startled, looking at Xiaoyao with confusion.

"Let's go!" With that, Xiaoyao forcefully pulled Ling'er away from the place.

"What are you doing!?" Ling'er struggled and cried out as Xiaoyao gripped her wrist painfully.

"You still ask me what I'm doing!? What are you doing? Go back to your room!" With that, Xiaoyao forcefully dragged Ling'er a few more steps.

"No! There are still so many people who haven't been treated!" Ling'er cried out angrily, struggling violently.

Xiaoyao was truly enraged; she still wanted to continue treatment, so recklessly disregarding her own health. His face darkened, and

he suddenly released her, walking towards Ling'er. Ling'er was confused by his sudden release, and then saw him approach. Before she could react, Xiaoyao suddenly lowered his body, and Ling'er felt a touch on her calves and back, followed by a forceful lift. Ling'er cried out, "Ah

!" as Xiaoyao picked her up. "You...you put me down!?" Ling'er cried out in surprise and embarrassment, her face flushing crimson at being lifted in front of everyone.

"Enough nagging!" Xiaoyao replied coldly, turning and walking towards the room.

Just then, many patients suddenly started arguing all at once: "Hey! What are you doing? We haven't been treated yet..." "Don't take the fairy sister away!" "It hurts so much... I need treatment..." "..." "

Shut up!!" A sudden shout, Xiaoyao using his inner strength, the huge roar made everyone's hearts tremble, and the noisy voices instantly fell silent.

"..." Holding Xiaoyao in her arms, Ling'er clearly felt Xiaoyao's whole body trembling, the agitation of his emotions. She had never seen Xiaoyao so angry before...

As everyone stared blankly at Xiaoyao, without saying a word, Xiaoyao snorted heavily and walked towards the room...

As soon as he returned to the room, Xiaoyao put Ling'er on the bed.

"Brother Xiaoyao, what are you doing!" Ling'er shouted angrily.

"What am I doing? Just rest properly." Xiaoyao replied.

"No!" Ling'er said, quickly trying to get up.

"Still being silly!" Xiaoyao stopped her first, pressing her back onto the bed. Ling'er struggled fiercely. Xiaoyao tried to stop her for a while, but his anger flared up. Suddenly, he pounced on her, pinning her to the bed and holding her tightly.

"...Get away!" Unable to move after being pinned down by Xiaoyao, Ling'er glared angrily at him.

"Ling'er, stop it, okay? You've overused your magic!" Xiaoyao said angrily.

"I didn't!" Ling'er cried out, denying it. She struggled desperately, trying to break free from Xiaoyao's hold.

Xiaoyao grew angrier and angrier, completely baffled by Ling'er's actions. Suddenly, he grabbed her hand and brought it to his face. Looking at her small, white hand, he hardened his heart and pressed her fingers down into a fist.

"Ouch!!" Even with just a slight pressure, Ling'er cried out in pain, reflexively using her other hand to hold down Xiaoyao's hand, preventing him from continuing.

However, Xiaoyao didn't continue to pull her hand down. He gently stroked Ling'er's hand and palm with pity, glaring at her with a mixture of anger and heartache

. Ling'er lowered her head, not daring to look Xiaoyao in the eye... It turned out that when Ling'er overused her magic, not only was her whole body exhausted, but all her joints also ached, especially her hands from casting spells, where her fingers were in excruciating pain, unable to even bend slightly...

As Ling'er's lover, Xiaoyao naturally understood this situation, and his actions were also heartbreaking...

"Does it hurt a lot?" Xiaoyao asked softly, carefully massaging Ling'er's fingers while observing her reaction.

"Mmm..." Seeing Xiaoyao's gentle reaction, Ling'er didn't dare to be stubborn anymore, and obediently nodded, letting Xiaoyao stroke her.

"Look at you, you're already in so much pain, and you still want to help others, what are you thinking..."

Xiaoyao scolded unhappily.

"I just... just wanted to do my part for Doctor Han..." Ling'er answered softly.

“Silly girl! It’s good enough that you helped, but you’ve made yourself so tired. You won’t have any energy left before we go to Miao territory,” Xiaoyao said.

“You’re still angry with me after all this, you deserve a beating.” As he spoke, Xiaoyao lightly tapped Ling’er’s forehead as punishment; Ling’er lowered her head and didn’t say a word.

“Go to sleep.” After gently stroking her for a while, Xiaoyao smiled.

“Brother Xiaoyao, your body…” At this moment, Ling’er couldn’t help but frown and say.

“Ah! I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” Xiaoyao then realized that he was covered in filth, and now even Ling’er was covered in the odor…

“Come on, let’s clean her up.” As he spoke, Xiaoyao got up and picked her up again.

“Ugh! I can walk by myself…” Ling’er was very shy and struggled slightly.

"No—no—!" Ling'er's body ached, and Xiaoyao naturally wouldn't put her down. Ignoring her protests, he carried her out of the room...

A few moments later...

"Brother Xiaoyao..." Lying beside Xiaoyao, Ling'er spoke softly.

"I... I'm not going to Miao territory anymore, I want to stay here..." Ling'er suddenly said, and Xiaoyao was taken aback, looking at her with confusion.

"Zombies are rampant around here, and I want to use my magic to help the villagers, so..." Ling'er lowered her head and said softly.

"This... I know your intentions, but we also have our own important matters to attend to," Xiaoyao said.

"If we can get to Miao territory sooner, find your mother, and then we..." At this point, Xiaoyao felt a little embarrassed and couldn't continue.

"..." Ling'er's face darkened slightly. What should have been a happy occasion didn't bring her any joy...

(Brother Xiaoyao... but... I don't know if my body can hold out until then, I'm afraid I...) Ling'er thought to herself, her expression very sorrowful. The main reason Ling'er wanted to stay was that her health could deteriorate at any moment…

However, Xiaoyao had other ideas. After Village Chief Han's reminder, Xiaoyao was overwhelmed by the thought of marrying Ling'er. He suddenly felt an urge to fly to Miao territory immediately.

(And if they could have a child…) A sudden thought flashed through his mind, and Xiaoyao's face flushed slightly, growing increasingly excited…

“Anyway, let's talk about these things tomorrow. You need to rest well,” Xiaoyao said with a smile.

“Mm…” Ling'er nodded gently.

“Goodnight.” With that, Xiaoyao gently kissed Ling'er's forehead, reached out and embraced her, letting her lean against him.

Then, as everyone else was lost in their own thoughts, the two of them drifted off to sleep…

The next day…

Early in the morning, Xiaoyao had just finished grooming and stepped out of his bedroom when he heard hurried footsteps. Someone was rushing towards Village Chief Han's house.

"My benefactor!" a panicked cry rang out, and a woman rushed over. Xiaoyao recognized her as one of the girls who had been captured by the snake demon.

"You're not..." Xiaoyao began to guess.

"It's terrible! Tingting...she..." the woman tried to explain, but her words became increasingly stammering.

It turned out that she was one of the girls captured by the snake demon, named Qiao'er.

"Tell me slowly!" Upon hearing Yu Ting's name, Xiaoyao immediately became serious and asked anxiously.

"She...she..." Swallowing hard, Qiao'er finally spoke clearly, "Last night, Tingting said something about the barrier being broken, and then she said that if we didn't find a solution, things would get out of control. Then this morning, she suddenly went out!?"

"Calm down..." Xiaoyao tried to soothe her as she spoke more and more frantically.

As she gradually calmed down, Xiaoyao asked, "Are you Tingting's friend?"

"Yes, my name is Qiao'er. I'm Tingting's childhood sweetheart. After her uncle died, I was the one who stayed with her,"

Qiao'er replied.

"Hmm, but she might just be going out on patrol or something. How do you know she..." Before Xiaoyao could finish, Qiao'er interrupted, "But she took her uncle's Taoist robes and talismans! I... I'm afraid she's going to Blackwater Town to fight the zombies!" She became increasingly anxious, tears welling in her eyes.

"Benefactor, please, can you save Tingting?" Qiao'er bent down to kneel, but Xiaoyao immediately caught her.

"Benefactor...?" Qiao'er looked at Xiaoyao worriedly. If he was unwilling to help, then...

Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said, "You don't need to beg. Tingting is my friend too; saving her is a given." This was, of course, a promise to save her.

"My benefactor..." Qiao'er looked directly at Xiaoyao with grateful eyes. Xiaoyao felt a little embarrassed, coughed a few times, and pretended to casually avoid her gaze.

"Just stay at home and wait for my news. Also, don't tell anyone, lest it cause panic,"

Xiaoyao explained. Qiao'er nodded vigorously, thanked him repeatedly, and then left.

Watching Qiao'er leave, Xiaoyao was also thinking: (Given Tingting's personality, she might indeed risk her life alone, but she shouldn't sacrifice her own life to create a barrier. She made a promise with me...) Xiaoyao believed that Yuting would keep her promise.

(Ling'er used up so much magic power yesterday, I can't let her go, then...) Thinking of this, without a doubt, Xiaoyao's first thought was Yue Ru.

Just then, by sheer coincidence, Yue Ru emerged from a room on the left…

“Yue Ru, you’ve come at the perfect time. I just happened to need to talk to you,” Xiao Yao said with a smile. After Yue Ru’s frankness and exposure yesterday, Xiao Yao felt somewhat awkward, but also much closer to her, so he called her by her name.

“…” Unexpectedly, Yue Ru glanced at Xiao Yao and then walked away without looking back.

“Yue… Yue Ru?” Xiao Yao was taken aback and called out to her, but seeing that she didn’t stop, he quickly chased after her.

“Yue Ru! What’s wrong with you?” Xiao Yao asked as he reached the door.

“You still have the nerve to ask me!” Yue Ru suddenly turned around, glared at Xiao Yao fiercely, and then strode away.

Xiaoyao was startled. He'd never seen her so angry since they'd met… Her slender eyebrows arched upwards, and her bright eyes now blazed with fury, enough to intimidate anyone who looked upon her. He never imagined Yue Ru could be so terrifying when angry…

“I… what’s wrong with me?” Xiaoyao murmured to himself. Suddenly, something occurred to him…

“You… are you blaming yesterday?” Xiaoyao asked.

Upon hearing this, Yue Ru abruptly stopped, her fists clenched, trembling uncontrollably. Looking at her back, Xiaoyao sensed an ominous atmosphere.

“You…!” After a moment's hesitation, Yue Ru said in a slightly trembling voice, “Perhaps… I was just being presumptuous. Anyway, you only have eyes for your Ling’er!!” Her tone suddenly rose sharply, making Xiaoyao's heart skip a beat.

“Yesterday… do you know… how much resolve I had to… but you… you…!” Growing increasingly agitated, Yue Ru's voice was choked with sobs.

"Anyway... I was just like a fool... humiliating myself and making a fool of myself..." Yue Ru said self-deprecatingly, her voice trembling. Xiao Yao was startled; Yue Ru had misunderstood...

"Wait, wait a minute, Yue Ru! You've misunderstood..." Xiao Yao hurriedly tried to explain...

"I hate you!!" With a shout, Yue Ru used her light-footed skill to run away quickly. Xiao Yao was shocked and immediately gave chase.

After turning several corners in the village, Yue Ru had already disappeared from sight. Xiao Yao had no choice but to stop, his heart filled with panic and anxiety.

(It's over... I didn't expect her to misunderstand...) Xiao Yao secretly regretted. He refused at the time only because he didn't want to betray Ling'er's heart, but he didn't expect that doing so would cause Yue Ru to misunderstand and completely hurt her heart...

(What to do...) From the way Yue Ru glared at him, plus her tone, Xiao Yao knew that she must be furious this time. His actions were tantamount to severely humiliating her. Born into a wealthy family, she was very sensitive and couldn't stand it. How could she not be angry...

If he didn't explain things quickly, it would probably leave a big scar on Yue Ru's heart. But at this moment, there was no time to explain things to her...

(What to do... Tingting is in danger at any time. I have to go quickly... But...) Thinking of Yu Ting and then Yue Ru, Xiao Yao's brain was about to explode.

(Ahhh... Never mind!! Saving lives is the priority!) Time didn't allow him to consider further; there were always priorities, so Xiaoyao decided to save lives first...

(I need to explain things to her as soon as I get back... Sigh... Why am I so unlucky...) Xiaoyao sighed heavily and headed towards the bridge, straight for Blackwater Town...

At the same time, in Blackwater Town, Xiaoyao's destination...

"How tragic..." Yuting said softly as she walked slowly.

She was wearing a yellow Taoist robe, clearly ill-fitting; the short-sleeved shirt covered her from the elbows down, the loose yellow fabric reaching her thighs, while her lower body was covered by ordinary trousers, making her look quite strange.

The surrounding scenery was desolate, with dilapidated houses overgrown with weeds; and on the barren farmland, amidst the weeds, stood tombstones!?

But the strange things didn't stop there. Several patches of ground were surprisingly soft, as if they had been dug up; a putrid stench, combined with layers of intense demonic energy, made Yu Ting frown and tremble slightly…

"So cold… I didn't expect the demonic energy to be so strong…" Yu Ting muttered uneasily to herself. Although Yu Ting couldn't sense the movement of demonic energy like Ling'er, who studied magic, her body was still quite sensitive to such things due to long-term exposure.

Walking cautiously, Yu Ting frequently looked around. The tranquil atmosphere made even the sound of her swallowing seem unusually loud. She hadn't expected this place to be so terrifying even in broad daylight…

*Crack!*

A remarkably clear sound nearly made Yu Ting's heart leap out of her chest. She abruptly turned her head to the right, looking towards the source of the sound. What she saw was even more astonishing…

It was a general…!?

Clad in heavy, blood-stained armor, covering him from head to toe, he appeared remarkably tall and strong. A bronze mask completely obscured his face; the mask depicted the malevolent face of a demon, making him appear terrifying. In his hand wielded a large sword, roughly half the length of an adult, its blade wide and rounded, appearing extremely sharp. The dark red bloodstains on it only added to the chilling sight…

“Ah…” Yu Ting involuntarily took a large step back, but being a Taoist priest, she forcibly suppressed her fear and swiftly grabbed three talismans.

“Hah!!” With a shout, Yu Ting threw the three talismans, aiming them at the general's head, chest, and abdomen respectively.

Given Yu Ting's internal strength, the three talismans weren't thrown very fast; the general should have been able to dodge them .

However, Yu Ting had anticipated this, and immediately grabbed the talismans with both hands, preparing to throw them as he dodged. Unexpectedly, the general didn't dodge at all, standing motionless, his狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) Shura mask coldly staring at Yu Ting…

*Snap!*

Almost simultaneously, the three talismans struck the general, sticking to his body. The talismans instantly ignited. Yu Ting was increasingly astonished, because he showed absolutely no reaction…

“Wh-how…!” Yu Ting exclaimed in disbelief. These were the talismans she had used to attack the zombies, yet they had no effect on the general.

“…That's it?” Suddenly, the general spoke. His voice was deep and unusually loud, like a roar, deafening.

“You dare to come with this level of skill…why…?” the general said coldly, his tone full of disdain.

"...!!" In that instant, the fear that had gripped her face transformed into rage. Yu Ting stared directly at the general, unwavering. His question touched a deep chord within her, the guidance of her father...

"If doing this can save others, even sacrificing one's life is worthwhile!" she cried out excitedly, reciting her father's famous words verbatim.

"...I've heard that before...I think...right...he's wearing the same clothes as you..." The general

paused, recalling for a moment before speaking. "What...!?" Hearing this, Yu Ting was stunned, as if struck by lightning...

"Did you kill my father!?" she roared, trembling uncontrollably, awaiting his answer.

"..." Faced with her questioning, the general lowered his head slightly, as if he were thinking, but it was only for a moment. He raised his head and slowly said, "So, he is indeed a Taoist priest who throws talismans, just like you... His talismans are much stronger than yours. None of the zombies are a match for him, so I had to take action myself..." With that, he had already admitted it...

Yu Ting frowned, her angry expression twisting her lovely face; her fists clenched so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh. The rage of revenge completely consumed her body. She wanted to avenge her father!!

"Die!!" With a loud shout, Yu Ting threw out all the talismans in her hands. At the same time, she drew a medium-length sword from her waist and charged forward...

But...

Clang!

Almost instantly, the sword in Yu Ting's hand fell to the ground, and Yu Ting herself flew several feet, crashing heavily into the wall of the house next to her with a loud thud, showing the great force of the impact.

"Ugh...!" The intense pain almost made Yu Ting cry out, only letting out a few groans. The waves of pain in her back nearly made her faint.

"Don't overestimate yourself!!" the general suddenly said.

"You dare to come here for revenge with such a lowly level? You're just courting death! Did you come here for revenge, or to die?!" The general's deep voice pierced Yu Ting's heart with every word.

"Damn it...!" The enemy's words filled Yu Ting with immense resentment and helplessness. Tears welled up instantly, and she cried out in despair.

"...Resentful?" Hearing her sobbing, the general coldly stared at her.

"The world is inherently unfair. Having the will is useless. Before overwhelming power, all efforts are in vain..." the general said slowly, his tone inexplicably tinged with helplessness...

"Since you can't take revenge, go join your father..." With that, the general raised his broadsword high above his head and suddenly swung it! A blast of energy shot out, directly striking Yu Ting. The distance was still considerable, and she should have been able to dodge it, but unexpectedly, Yu Ting didn't move an inch, simply lowering her head, completely ignoring the incoming energy…!

Clang!

A metallic clang suddenly rang in Yu Ting's ears. A shadow blocked her view, and looking up, she saw a familiar figure standing before her…

“My benefactor?” Yu Ting asked in surprise.

(This…?) However, Xiao Yao didn't hear Yu Ting speak. He only showed a somewhat surprised and puzzled expression, because he had noticed something strange…

Slightly startled, Xiao Yao immediately recovered, turning to look at Yu Ting, and asked worriedly, “Are you alright?” Yu Ting shook her head, then looked at Xiao Yao with a puzzled expression.

“It was your good friend, Miss Qiao’er, who told me,” Xiao Yao replied, seeing her confusion.

“I…” Yu Ting was about to speak when Xiao Yao stopped her.

"Let's talk later, I need to deal with him first..." With that, Xiaoyao turned his attention to the enemy before him...

"..." Since Xiaoyao arrived, the general had stood quietly to the side, watching this uninvited guest...

"Hey! I'm asking you, are you the one manipulating this zombie rampage?" Xiaoyao gripped his sword tightly, glaring coldly at him.

"...What if I said yes?" The general gave a low, ambiguous answer, but it was quite obvious...

"Then I'll act on behalf of Heaven!!" Before the words were even finished, Xiaoyao lightly touched the ground with his toes, using his lightness skill to rush forward, launching a direct and straightforward attack.

The general remained standing still, merely swinging his broadsword to parry. The sword clashed, producing a piercing metallic clang. Xiaoyao's face showed surprise as he somersaulted backward, landing again in front of Yuting.

(Wow, such astonishing strength...!) Xiaoyao thought in astonishment. Just now, with a clash of swords, Xiaoyao felt a powerful force approaching. Worried that his sword couldn't match the strength of the broadsword, he jumped back.

"To act on behalf of Heaven, one must possess considerable martial arts skills..." the general said softly, his tone disdainful.

"Hmph, good will always triumph over evil! Today I'll show you!" Xiaoyao retorted defiantly, gripping his sword tightly and attacking again.

Suddenly, Xiaoyao hurled his longsword at his opponent, and with a loud shout, it multiplied into more than ten swords. Seeing all ten swords attacking, the general seemed surprised, his broadsword hesitating for a moment, but the swords were already upon him…!

Clang!

In that instant, it was almost like magic. The general suddenly swung his broadsword, striking one of the swords. The sword crashed to the ground, and the others vanished at the same time! Unexpectedly, he had seen through the weakness of the "Ten Thousand Swords Technique" in a split second…

But the attack wasn't over. Just as the general knocked the sword down, Xiaoyao suddenly pounced, unleashing the "Flying Dragon Probing the Clouds Hand" move. He grabbed the general's right hand holding the broadsword with one hand, and with the other, he channeled his power into the only part of the armor that couldn't be blocked: his throat!

Then…

"My benefactor!!" Yuting cried out in surprise, because Xiaoyao flew straight out, crashing heavily into the wall to Yuting's left, falling to the ground.

"My benefactor! My benefactor!" Enduring the pain, Yuting rushed over, quickly supporting Xiaoyao's head, calling out to him in panic.

"That's why I said… without strength, there's nothing to talk about…" the general said slowly, his gaze fixed on Xiaoyao.

Yu Ting had no time to pay attention to the general; she anxiously checked Xiao Yao's condition. Xiao Yao's eyes were closed, as if he had fainted. Yu Ting looked around; there were no external injuries. Then…

Suddenly, Yu Ting's hand, which was touching Xiao Yao's cheek, felt a chill. She was immediately startled. Looking closer, she saw that the temperature on Xiao Yao's face had plummeted; his skin had gradually turned deathly pale, as if he had been placed in snow.

"Could it be…!?" Yu Ting suddenly remembered something. Could it be that Xiao Yao had been poisoned…!?

"That's right, if you don't save him quickly, it will be too late..." The general's words made Yu Ting even more certain of her answer, but at the same time, she became even more panicked...

If Xiao Yao was really as she thought, then time could not be wasted, and she had to treat him immediately, but there was still an enemy in front of her...

"Let me give you a piece of advice: 'If you don't have the strength, don't just talk about saving people, that's unrealistic...'"

Suddenly, the general left these words behind, and turned around and slowly left...

"..." Yu Ting stared blankly at the enemy's departure, but the cold feeling in her hands immediately made her realize something. She immediately got up and tried to carry Xiao Yao on her back.

"Wow...!" Unfortunately, how could her small body carry Xiao Yao? Yu Ting anxiously looked around, looking for a way...

Time was of the essence, and the more Yu Ting thought about it, the more panicked and anxious she became. It was impossible to get Xiaoyao out of here, and even if she could carry him, there wasn't enough time for Yuting. At this moment, Xiaoyao's life was hanging by a thread...

"At least first...!" Yuting gritted her teeth, first looking around, then trying to move Xiaoyao.

"So heavy..." Yuting's thin arms pulled desperately, because she couldn't lift Xiaoyao, so she could only support herself under his armpits and drag him along...

At the same time, at Village Chief Han's house...

"Ah!" A cry of surprise startled Han Mengci, who was standing nearby.

"Miss Zhao, what's wrong?" Mengci asked with concern as she rushed over.

"Nothing... I accidentally pricked myself with a needle..." Ling'er replied, sucking on her left index finger to indicate that she was fine. She was mending the hole in Xiaoyao's clothes from yesterday...

"Where did Brother Xiaoyao go?" Ling'er asked worriedly.

"I heard from Father that he went out a long time ago," Mengci replied.

"Oh..." Ling'er responded softly. Although Xiaoyao's martial arts skills were not bad, for some reason, Ling'er felt uneasy when she wasn't by her side...

"Sister Han, once I'm feeling better, I will definitely help your village..." Ling'er smiled.

"That's too dangerous!" Mengci shook her head vigorously.

"Do you know that zombies that have become spirits are not only impervious to swords and spears, but also possess terrifying corpse poison! Once poisoned, one will die within half an hour..." Mengci said slowly.

"A few days ago, Father was treating a villager in the emergency. The poison he was poisoned with was even more severe. Not only did his whole body turn blue, but his body temperature also dropped instantly. Even touching him felt icy cold. He died in less than a quarter of an hour. It was many times stronger than corpse poison, and even Father was helpless..." Recalling that incident, Mengci's face showed sadness.

"...That was the extremely yin and cold 'yin corpse poison,' which only demons who have cultivated to a certain level possess. It seems that among that group of zombies, there was a leader." Ling'er explained. Ling'er, who studied magic, naturally knew quite a bit about this kind of sorcery.

"Sister Han, I can't just stand by and watch these villagers suffer. I'll talk to Brother Xiaoyao and I will find a way..." Ling'er said with a smile.

"This..." Although still somewhat disagreeing, Meng Ci held a glimmer of hope. If Xiaoyao and the others truly had a solution, then the village could be saved...

(However... only extremely masculine internal energy can dispel its yin energy and remove the corpse poison to truly neutralize the 'yin corpse poison'.) Ling'er thought to herself. Her master had specifically warned her to be careful of this move...

(Brother Xiaoyao...) Although Ling'er felt that Xiaoyao shouldn't be so "unlucky," she couldn't help but secretly pray.

However, man proposes, God disposes; Xiaoyao was indeed unlucky...

Now, Xiaoyao was facing a life-or-death situation...
