The Return of the Condor Heroes: The Carefree Chapter (15)

In the bridal chamber, Azi's beautiful face flushed with indescribable joy as she kissed Yang Guo passionately, saying, "Big brother, I'm so happy! I
'm finally going to be your good wife!"

Yang Guo also kissed her joyfully.

Azi then said, "My sisters are so mean! They won't keep me company. Humph, humph!" She hummed for a while, then suddenly saw
the burning dragon and phoenix candles in the room and remembered that she was the bride and was about to make love with her big brother. She jumped
onto Yang Guo, wrapped her arms around his neck, and giggled, "Big brother, I'm going to make love with you! Are you happy?
" She was still wearing her bright red new dress, with a phoenix crown and embroidered robe on her head and body, but she had removed the red veil from her head, revealing
a pair of bright eyes that seemed to be dripping with tears.

Yang Guo kissed her lips and said, "Big brother is overjoyed."

Azi happily climbed off Yang Guo, then took his hand and led him
to a small table in the bridal chamber. She removed her phoenix coronet and wedding gown, leaving only her undergarments and bodice. Shyly , she
couldn't lift her head, nestling in Yang Guo's lap and squirming for a while. Yang Guo gently stroked
Azi's back and golden hair, kissing her neck repeatedly. Azi was deeply moved, but remembering
she had things to do, she breathed heavily, her large, eager breasts heaving. She
poured wine into a pair of golden cups on the table, handing one to Yang Guo and taking one for herself, saying shyly, "Big brother, let's
drink the nuptial wine. Sister Hua taught me this." She crossed her right hand with Yang Guo's, who was also holding a cup. Yang Guo was delighted and
drank with Azi. Ah Zi happily kissed Yang Guo, then filled her cup, took a big gulp, and
squinted to offer it to Yang Guo, who chuckled and drank it too.

Ah Zi smiled radiantly and said, "Big brother, this is something I learned from Sister Ming, it's so much fun! Sister Long also said I
can drink like this with you in the bridal chamber."

Yang Guo kissed her hair and laughed, "Of course you can, you can drink like this from now on."

Ah Zi was delighted and twisted her body for a while, suddenly touching Yang Guo's penis. Feeling it twitch,
she shifted her body and pulled it out of Yang Guo's trousers. When it emerged, it was
erect and menacing, quite ferocious. She exclaimed with a mixture of surprise and delight, "Big brother, this thing of yours is so scary, but I
like it so much! Sister Ming put it in like this the other day... it was so much fun!" As she spoke, she giggled
incessantly, fiddling with it and comparing it to her own vulva, finding it both fun and frightening. She pouted and
muttered to herself, "Sister is so mean, she doesn't play with me at all." Then, blushing, she whispered in Yang Guo's ear, "Big
brother, I'm so wet down there, it's so annoying! But Sister Long said if I don't wet down there, I can't be your
good wife."

Yang Guo, enjoying her caresses, was even more excited by her words. He picked up A Zi and gently
placed her on the bed covered with a large red brocade quilt. He quickly stripped off his clothes and lay down next to A Zi on
the bed. He embraced her and kissed her deeply. A Zi was already unconscious, her body limp, only her breathing was shallow and soft.
Her hands unconsciously explored Yang Guo's genitals. Yang Guo placed his penis in A Zi's hand, and she
let out a satisfied sigh, holding it tightly as if afraid it would slip away.

Yang Guo gently kissed A Zi's earlobes and neck, while carefully removing her bodice and undergarment. A Zi's
exquisite, jade-like body was revealed, flawless and shimmering with golden light. Two bright red nipples
adorned her full breasts, now erect and pointed. Yang Guo couldn't resist lowering his head and taking them into his mouth
. A Zi trembled slightly, then opened her eyes in satisfaction to look at Yang Guo, who was buried in her. In the candlelight,
A Zi's golden hair and pubic hair shimmered with a golden light, a brilliant hue more dazzling than pure gold.
Because of A Zi's jade-like skin, her labia appeared like ripe peaches, so vibrant and
full. At this moment, a gentle stream flowed down her body, and her delicate form trembled slightly—a scene of indescribable beauty and boundless spring
.

Yang Guo kissed A Zi's entire body, and A Zi's panting grew louder, her grip on his penis tightening. Suddenly, she gasped
, "Big brother, I want... to kiss it..."

Yang Guo hummed in agreement, and in a passionate embrace, he placed his penis into A Zi's mouth, carefully admiring
her treasure. It was truly adorable, like a ripe peach, translucent and overflowing with nectar
. He couldn't resist giving it a gentle lick, and A Zi immediately moaned. After a while, Yang Guo licked it again, even
slightly inserting his tongue, and A Zi trembled uncontrollably. She spat out his penis, softly crying, "Big brother, it feels so good
, I want... big brother..." As she spoke, she raised her legs, then gently parted them, a thin stream of fluid flowing from her vulva, her body
writhing incessantly.

Seeing that the time was right, Yang Guo rolled over and slowly lay on top of A Zi. A Zi closed her eyes, not daring to look at
Yang Guo, her face like the sunset, yet brimming with excitement. Yang Guo pressed his penis against her labia,
gently sliding it against the entrance of her vagina amidst the sticky, honeyed fluid. Azi gasped, murmuring, "Big brother, big brother…
." At this moment, the bedroom arts she had learned over a month ago were long forgotten.

Seeing Azi's excitement, Yang Guo dared not be too hasty. He gently pushed his penis in, barely opening a crack, when Azi
already cried out softly. Yang Guo was slightly startled and quickly stopped. Azi waited a while, and seeing no movement, opened her eyes
, her face flushed with embarrassment, and softly said, "Big brother, you... come in, I... I'm not afraid." Yang Guo kissed
her tenderly, then pushed in a little further, but encountered strong resistance. Yang Guo was greatly surprised, and with a little effort, he saw Azi's pink
face turn pale instantly, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. However, she endured the pain without crying out, only looking
at Yang Guo with her big eyes full of love. Yang Guo was greatly tender and kissed Azi passionately. Azi made soft moaning sounds, wrapped her arms around Yang Guo's back, and
with a thrust of her hips, swallowed Yang Guo's entire penis. However, she trembled all over in pain, but still endured it
without crying out. Yang Guo gently caressed her breasts and her whole body, cherishing her dearly, but dared not move, only quietly lying
on top of her.

After a while, Azi's body stopped trembling, but her brows were still deeply furrowed and her face was still extremely pale
. She whispered shyly in Yang Guo's ear, "Big brother, I am your good wife now."

Yang Guo said tenderly, "Good Azi, you've long been my good wife."

Azi was overjoyed and began to wriggle her body, her hips swaying gently, but she still made soft, whistling sounds, seemingly in
pain yet also in pleasure. Yang Guo slowly cooperated, but dared not move too much, only gently
thrusting slightly.

Azi had Western ancestry; some Western women have thicker and tougher hymens than Eastern women. Many
parents, fearing the pain of tearing their daughters' hymens upon marriage, would send them to a church or chapel before their wedding,
where clergy would surgically cut the hymen. They called this circumcision,
equivalent to the circumcision of men. Some devout believers even had the clitoris removed to show their wholehearted service to God
, that sex was only for procreation and not for sexual pleasure.

Ah Zi, panting, her face gradually regaining its color, her eyes brimming with desire. She stared
intently at Yang Guo, her gaze filled with equal affection. Yang Guo, too, looked at her with boundless love, occasionally kissing her cherry lips
, his hips swaying gently. Ah Zi's lips alternated between hot and cold. Suddenly, she murmured, "Big brother, I...
I love it like this... oh... oh, big brother... oh... oh, so good... oh, big brother, can you
... go faster..." She gasped softly, her delicate brows furrowing and relaxing, a look of bewilderment on her face.

Yang Guo slightly increased the amplitude of his movements. He wanted Ah Zi to experience the pleasure of lovemaking, so he wasn't hasty, but
gently and slowly entering and exiting her vagina.

Ah Zi gasped, "Oh...oh, so good...Big brother, it doesn't hurt anymore, you can go faster...oh
...oh, so good..." She shook her hips violently as she spoke, seemingly having endured the pain. She
didn't know where to put her hands, finally clinging tightly to Yang Guo, her hips raised high, as if afraid the
penis inside her would slip away.

Seeing that Ah Zi was reaching her peak, Yang Guo occasionally withdrew quickly, then thrust in slowly,
gently grinding against the entrance. Sure enough, Ah Zi's reaction grew increasingly intense; her whole body burned, her snow-white skin flushed crimson,
her long, shapely legs spread wide, swaying up and down. She truly didn't know how to express this
indescribable feeling she had never experienced before. Suddenly, her hands holding Yang Guo began to grow cold, her lips turned pale, and she kissed him tightly
, her whole body trembling, moaning softly, her hips swaying even more violently. Yang Guo also quickened
his pace. Azi's vulva was extremely thick, tight and narrow, with a strong suction. Yang Guo felt incredibly sweet and pleasurable
. He was reluctant to let Azi ejaculate too quickly, but this was Azi's first time, and he couldn't let her little darling be too
overworked. Only a short while later, Azi's hands, which had been holding Yang Guo, and her raised legs drooped limply onto the bed. Her
eyes were lifeless as she looked at Yang Guo, weakly saying, "Big brother, I... feel so... good, big brother...
big brother... you have to take my... essence..." "…You want to take mine…!"

Seeing this, Yang Guo immediately bent over and rapidly thrust his penis in and out of A Zi's vagina. He wanted A Zi to release as much
of her virgin essence as possible so that he could use the Essence Restoration Technique to fill the void in her body. A Zi could no longer make a sound, only moaning softly
. Finally, she let out a long sigh, her body trembling uncontrollably. She had a great and intense orgasm. At this moment, Yang Guo's
seminal gate opened wide, and hot semen gushed out, a drop of which shot directly into A Zi's womb. A Zi trembled as if she wanted to
jump up, but she had no strength.

Yang Guo lay on top of A Zi, feeling her warm, smooth, silky body still twitching gently. Azi opened
her lifeless eyes, smiled at Yang Guo, and stroked his cheek, saying joyfully, "Big brother,
so good! I love making love with you!" Yang Guo kissed her slightly cold little hand and whispered, "
Big brother loves it too!" Tears streamed down Azi's face, but her expression was one of boundless satisfaction and happiness.

The two lingered tenderly for a long time. Azi gradually regained her spirits, her eyes brightening
. She moved slightly in her lower body, but frowned. Yang Guo noticed and sat up. He saw that
where they had joined together was a bright red stain, and Azi's vulva was flowing with red and white semen. Azi blushed and sat up as well
, using a cotton towel that had been prepared on the bedside table to wipe away the stains from their lovemaking. This was a wifely skill that Zhao Hua had taught her.
Then she timidly said, "Big brother, I'll go with you to bathe."

Yang Guo was delighted and helped Azi out of bed. Ah Zi had just stepped off the edge of the bed, but couldn't stand up. She covered her lower body, but endured
it without making a sound. Yang Guo felt great tenderness. He gently picked up Ah Zi, kissed her on the cheek, and said, "Good Ah Zi,
you've suffered."

Ah Zi said shyly, "No, not at all! I'm so happy." As she spoke, she buried her head in Yang Guo's chest, her golden hair
glistening with sweat.

After the two happily washed themselves, Yang Guo carried A Zi to the bed. He said softly, "A Zi
, let's practice our internal energy now. Your foundation is already quite good, and you
can almost fully utilize the internal energy your sisters transferred to you. Big brother will give you a little push, and you can be like every sister in the future."

A Zi was delighted. She said sweetly, "Big brother, you need to practice too! Sister Long said they transferred their energy
to me to strengthen my virgin essence, which will be very useful for you."

Yang Guo smiled and said, "I will." He then instructed A Zi to sit cross-legged as usual. He sat cross-legged
behind her, his right hand gently pressing on her crown, his left hand resting on her dantian. Their minds were united, and they began their practice.
After a short while, two wisps of white smoke, each half a foot long, rose from A Zi's nose, gathering but not dissipating. Her face flushed and paled intermittently
, and her body trembled slightly. Another meal's time passed, and Ah Zi had entered a meditative state. Her internal energy
was circulating automatically, no longer requiring conscious effort.

After helping Ah Zi complete two cycles, Yang Guo began circulating his internal energy on his own. After only one cycle,
he suddenly felt completely transparent. Every tendon, meridian, internal organ, and acupoint seemed clearly visible, and he could
control them according to his will. He was greatly surprised, but also found it very interesting. He first observed his right arm
, finding no abnormalities in the bones, tendons, and blood vessels. However, there seemed to be a small red dot between the Quchi and Shaohai acupoints on his right hand
, which was now emitting wisps of light and gradually disappearing. He curiously continued to "watch" it until finally the
small red dot completely disappeared. Yang Guo guessed that this small red dot might be the spot where Guo Fu severed his right arm.
The blood clot hadn't been properly treated, leaving behind a small blood clot. During his regeneration, it traveled along the tendons and bones, entering
the meridian between the Quchi and Shaohai acupoints. Because the clot was extremely small, dense, and tightly adhered, it was undetectable during his practice
. Although it wasn't a major problem, compared to his left arm, he always felt somewhat powerless and uncomfortable. Actually,
after obtaining Yang magnetic power at the Qinyang Prince's Mansion, this feeling had largely disappeared, and Yang Guo himself thought he was fully healed. However,
a trace of the clot remained. Now that it had finally disappeared completely, he was overjoyed. He now had a complete
understanding of himself. Although he was now a True Person, having this method of internal vision would give him even greater control over his body
. Moreover, he had learned his adoptive father Ouyang Feng's Toad Stance in his early years; meridian reversal and acupoint movement were
his unique skills. Now, combined with the internal vision technique, it was like adding icing on the cake. He slowly finished his practice, opened his eyes, and saw Azi's
posture as she performed her exercises. He couldn't help but smile slightly, knowing that her skill had entered a new stage.

Early the next morning, Azi excitedly went to the kitchen to prepare desserts. She first brought Yang Guo a bowl, then happily
carried the tray to Xiaolongnu and Yuan Mingming's room. She gently pushed open the door and saw Xiaolongnu and Yuan Mingming already
sitting in chairs chatting. She softly called out, "Sister Long, Sister Ming, good morning!"

The two women jumped up. Yuan Mingming took the tray from Azi's hands and placed it on the table, while Xiaolongnu
hugged her and scrutinized her from head to toe. Azi was too shy to look up, feeling somewhat embarrassed and uneasy.

Yuan Mingming giggled, "The bride is so beautiful! Bringing out desserts so early in the morning, whose idea was this? It's really
insulting to our bride!"

Xiaolongnu also laughed incessantly, kissing Azi's hair and saying, "Did Sister Hua teach
you that? We're good sisters, no need for this. We should be the ones celebrating for you."

Azi blushed and said, "It wasn't Sister Hua who taught me, it was my own idea. I want to thank all the sisters for being so
kind to me..."

Xiaolongnu was very happy and laughed incessantly. Yuan Mingming also affectionately hugged Azi, saying, "Good sister,
we know your intentions. As long as you're happy, we're all happy too."

Just then, Zhao Ying, Zhao Hua, Chunlan, and Qiuju also entered the room upon hearing the commotion. Azi bowed to them
, and the women were overjoyed, laughing incessantly. They all picked up the desserts Azi had brought, each taking a bowl, and
began to eat.

While eating, Zhao Hua asked, "Bride A Zi, how was your wedding night? Tell us about it so we can
all rejoice for you."

A Zi shyly replied, "Sister Hua is so mean, she didn't keep me company. Humph! But..."

Everyone listened intently, but after a long while, there was still no further news. Zhao Hua grew impatient and hurriedly asked, "But what
?"

A Zi buried her head in Xiao Long Nu's arms, twisting her body, and stammered, "But... it was so much fun...
!"

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, almost spilling their desserts.

After a pause, Azi whispered again, "But it hurts so much! It still hurts."

Zhao Ying exclaimed, quickly put down the bowl she was holding, and took Azi from Xiaolongnu's arms. She asked Azi
to sit down on the chair beside her, then placed her fingers on Azi's right wrist pulse. After a brief examination, she exclaimed, "Good sister
, congratulations! Your skills have greatly improved; congratulations!" Upon hearing this, all the women were happy for Azi.

After a while, Zhao Ying frowned and said to Xiaolongnu, "Sister Long, it seems that Sister Zi's constitution is
different from ours. She must have suffered a lot last night."

Xiaolongnu asked with concern, "What happened?"

Zhao Ying said, "Sister Zi's wound was quite large when she lost her virginity, and it hasn't healed yet. She probably can't have sex for the next couple of days
."

The women all gasped in surprise. Zi also frowned and said, "Sister Ying, it really hurts, but
I'm so happy."

Zhao Ying kissed her tenderly and said, "Don't worry, Sister Hua will apply some medicine for you later.
After a couple of days of rest, you'll be fine. Then you can make love with your older brother without worry, and it won't hurt anymore."

Zi also kissed Zhao Ying and said, "Thank you, Sister."

Zhao Hua also asked with concern, "Good sister, did you use the bedroom techniques I taught you?"

Zi lowered her head shyly and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "When my older brother touched me there, I... forgot everything
."

The women burst into laughter again. Zhao Hua laughed incessantly and asked again, "Did you ask your elder brother to take
your essence?"

The women all looked at Azi with concern. This time, Azi raised her head, opened her big eyes, and earnestly
said, "That's all I remember. I had no strength left, but I still asked my elder brother to take my essence
."

The women all breathed a sigh of relief. Chunlan and Qiuju even patted their chests. They had taken turns giving Azi their essence for twenty
days; it would have been a waste if it hadn't been useful.

Xiaolongnu said affectionately, "Good sister, you've really gone through a lot."

Azi said, "I won't forget. I love my elder brother so much." She meant that she could forget anything else,
but she would never forget anything that benefited her beloved.

The women were all very gratified and praised Azi, treating her with great affection. These women
were willing to disregard everything else for the sake of their loved ones.

At breakfast, everyone congratulated Yang Guo, who smiled broadly and was very happy.

Xiaolongnu looked closely at Yang Guo and said, "Guo'er, you look fantastic. Azi's energy has really
helped you."

"Yes! My right arm has fully recovered. There was a blood clot between the Quchi and Shaohai acupoints on my right hand that
hadn't dissolved, which was why I always felt a little uncomfortable. Now that's completely gone."

The women were all overjoyed to hear this and praised Azi, saying she had done a great service. Azi looked at
Yang Guo with pride.

Zhao Hua asked, "Young Master, how did you know? Why didn't you notice before?"

Yang Guo smiled and said, "I saw it. The blood clot was too small; it didn't interfere with my internal energy circulation, so I didn't know
."

The women were greatly surprised. Zhao Hua asked doubtfully, "Young Master, do you mean what you saw?"

Yang Guo was very happy and said, "After I consummated my marriage with A Zi, I first helped her practice her internal energy cultivation. A Zi quickly entered a meditative state, and her skill
naturally improved greatly. I then practiced my own internal energy cultivation, and suddenly, I felt that my whole body was transparent, and all my blood vessels, meridians, and bones were clearly
visible. Moreover, I could control them according to my will. I think this is the art of internal vision."

The women were both surprised and delighted. Xiao Longnv asked, "Guo'er, what is the use of this art of internal vision? Seeing
inside one's own body... wouldn't it be terrifying?" Yang

Guo laughed, "No, not at all. I just find it very interesting. I haven't thought of any great use for the Inner Vision Technique yet.
However, since I can control my bones and meridians with my will, I can change at will and don't need disguise techniques anymore
."

The women were very surprised. A'Zi clapped her hands and shouted, "So much fun! So much fun! Big brother, show us
!"

Yang Guo laughed, "Let's not do it now, lest we scare you. We can do it another time."

The women all nodded, feeling a little scared. What if Yang Guo transformed into something terrifying? That wouldn't be fun.

Xiao Longnv laughed, "A'Zi is indeed the medicinal ingredient for us sisters. Our speculation was absolutely correct."

Yang Guo was a little puzzled and looked at Xiao Longnv with a questioning look. Zhao Ying said, "Young Master, after we sisters married you
, we originally thought your arm would regenerate smoothly, but unexpectedly, there was still a flaw. Last night, Sister Long and I
talked about this, and we were all puzzled. I thought it might be like the herbal medicine was missing a guiding ingredient, causing
the yin and yang to be unbalanced. At that time, we all thought that this guiding ingredient was likely A Zi, and now it has been proven to be true
. After you and Sister A Zi consummated your marriage, it was truly a great success."

A Zi's eyes shone with joy, and she kept kissing Yang Guo, giggling incessantly.

Everyone happily ate their meal. Zhao Ying continued, "Young Master, Sister A Zi's constitution is slightly different. Last night, after losing
her virginity, her wound was quite large. Hua Mei just applied medicine for her, and although it stopped the pain, she still needs to rest for a couple of days.
"

Yang Guo said "Oh," and said with a grin, "So that's how it is? I also found it strange. A Zi's... is really
a bit different from yours. It seems that her hymen is particularly thick and tough."

All the women blushed at his words.

Yuan Mingming chuckled twice and said, "Since we can't be affectionate during our honeymoon, it would
be good for us to go out for a stroll. Otherwise, Azi won't be able to stand being cooped up at home."

Azi blushed and said, "Sister Mingming is so naughty! I wouldn't do that!" But she was also eager to go,
looking at Yang Guo with an expectant expression.

Yang Guo smiled and said, "Okay! Senior Sister Qin said Mangshan is a good place for fighting. It's still early, so let
's have the kitchen prepare some food and go to Mangshan to play."

The women were overjoyed, and Azi was especially beaming. She giggled, quickly ate a couple of bites, put down her chopsticks, wiped
her mouth, kissed Yang Guo, and then disappeared into the kitchen. Chunlan and Qiuju exchanged a glance, then playfully teased Xiaolongnu
and followed her off, giggling.

Zhao Hua laughed loudly, saying to Xiaolongnu, "Sister Long, Azi is still like a little girl. Chunlan and Qiuju
must be in the kitchen preparing delicious food for her now. The dry rations they ate the past few days really scared them."

Everyone laughed incessantly. Xiaolongnu said, "Last time it was my oversight. I only thought about our
small appetites and forgot about these little girls' appetites. I didn't specifically instruct the kitchen to prepare anything, and I really felt sorry for them
!"

Mangshan, also known as Beimang, Mangshan, Beishan, and Jiashan, stretches north of Luoyang City, connecting the three counties of Yanshi, Gong, and Mengjin
. It is the source of the Chan River. In the eleventh year of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Prince Gong Zhi was buried in Beimang. Afterwards, many princes, dukes, and ministers were buried there.
During the Zhenglong era of the Jin Dynasty, it was even renamed Taiping Mountain. Wang Jian's poem says, "On the top of Mount Mang, there is little idle land, mostly old tombs of Luoyang people
; many families return to bury their dead there, piling up gold with nowhere to dispose of it." He also says, "Every morning, carriages and horses return from funerals, and grand mansions and high
platforms are built." It is clear that Mount Mang was indeed the best final resting place for high-ranking officials and nobles throughout history.

In fact, Yang Guo's family had lived in Luoyang for more than half a year, and had traveled extensively around the city, passing through the area north of the city many
times, but had never specifically come to Mount Mang. When they arrived at Mount Mang, the north wind was howling, and
as far as the eye could see, the hills rose and fell, a vast expanse of white, with snowflakes falling intermittently, appearing quite desolate. However, everyone was in high spirits and did not
feel lonely at all; on the contrary, the complete absence of human habitation made it the perfect place for them to display their skills.

They entered Mount Mang following the path suggested by Qin Yanfen. Because the Mangshan area is a large plateau without
any major mountains to block the wind, strong winds are common, but they don't seem to care. Each of them deliberately wears
white, close-fitting clothing, with matching robes and hoods, mainly to blend in with the snow and avoid being noticed
, lest they inadvertently cause a stir and attract unexpected trouble. Chunlan, Qiuju, and Azi
, despite their fatigue, each carry a large bag, clearly containing food.

Since meeting Yuan Yao and Princess Dai, Yang Guo has been very curious about their era. Yan Juren is very knowledgeable
, so yesterday, taking advantage of the opportunity to transfer martial arts skills, he subtly inquired about many
historical anecdotes and stories of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Yan Juren knows a great deal, reciting them as if they were his own treasures.

In fact, Yan Desheng's ancestral home was here, so he naturally knew a great deal about the Northern Wei Dynasty, which had established its capital here. Although he was a military officer, he
was not a reckless man. He came from a scholarly family, where the ideal was to be both literate and martial. He was physically strong, and although he loved reading
, he loved archery and horsemanship even more. That's why his ancestors wanted him to specialize in the military examinations. Unexpectedly, he later became a grain merchant. With his literary
talent, martial arts skills, and quick wit, he had been quite successful in the business world for over twenty years.

Yan Desheng also specifically told Yang Guo the location of Emperor Xiaowen's tomb in Northern Wei. Emperor Xiaowen was
the first emperor of Northern Wei to move the capital to Luoyang. During his reign, he vigorously promoted Sinicization, including prohibiting marriage between people with the same surname, establishing clan names, implementing the equal-field system, establishing household registration and
official dress codes, prohibiting the use of non-Han languages, and minting Wuzhu coins, etc. He was a wise ruler who was buried in Mangshan after his death. However, after a
wise emperor, there are often incompetent rulers. Emperor Xuanwu, who succeeded him, was relatively good, but aside from building
nine cities in the north, he accomplished little else. After reigning for fifteen years, his successor, Emperor Xiaoming, was even worse. He never
truly ruled and was eventually assassinated by Empress Dowager Hu. In fact, the Northern Wei dynasty lasted only 149 years.
There were twelve emperors, several of whom were murdered, including the founding emperor, Emperor Daowu Tuoba Gui. Several others
died under mysterious circumstances.

Yang Guo quickly found Emperor Xiaowen's tomb, a vast cemetery. Although many tombstones
stood nearby, as he was an emperor, the tombs of his descendants and nobles dared not be too close to him, lest they incur his wrath.
Yang Guo brushed away the snowflakes and icicles from the tombstone, revealing the inscription "Tomb of Emperor Xiaowen of the Great Wei Dynasty,"
the characters slightly blurred but still discernible. Pointing to the tombstone, Yang Guo said to the women, "This Emperor Xiaowen was the grandfather of Crown Prince Yuan Yao. He moved the capital to Luoyang and was the most brilliant emperor. Unexpectedly, the dynasty perished
only thirty-odd years after his death. He could never have imagined it during his reign." 　　The women all sighed for a while. Yuan Mingming said, "Young Master, our clan has assimilated. Emperor Xiaowen made great contributions, yet his descendants are so disappointing." 　　"Indeed! Isn't our dynasty the same? How swiftly and unpredictably dynasties rise and fall in this world! Yuan Diao was imprisoned alone in Wangwu for over seven hundred years, yet the world has seen countless changes." Yang Guo sighed. 　　The group circled the mausoleum, paid their respects, and then headed east to find a suitable place for their fight . 　　Azi skipped and jumped, indescribably excited. Zhao Hua laughed, "Little Zi, when we fight later, don't use too much force, it'll hurt there." 　　Zi blushed deeply, unable to contain her embarrassment, and said, "Sister Hua is so naughty, laughing at me!" She tugged at Zhao Hua's sleeve and added, "But Sister Hua is also so kind, after applying the medicine, I don't feel any pain anymore." 　　Zhao Hua laughed, "Is it really not painful anymore? Or is it that you don't feel pain when you want to fight?" 　　Zi nodded, "It really isn't painful anymore, I couldn't even stand up this morning." 　　Zhao Hua secretly touched her and whispered, "If it really doesn't hurt here, you can have sex with your older brother tonight." 　　Although Zi blushed, her eyes lit up, and she whispered, "Really? That's great... Sister, you have to keep me company." 　　Zhao Hua's heart fluttered, her eyes filled with seductive allure, and she chuckled, "I've taught you bedroom arts for so long, and you still can't use them . It seems I really need to teach you in a clinical setting." 　　"Yes! I'm really clumsy." 　　Just as Azi finished speaking, she suddenly heard a soft chuckle. She turned around and saw that all the women were staring at them. Azi protested, "Sister, you're so mean! You were eavesdropping on my conversation with Sister Hua!" 　　Yuan Mingming suppressed a laugh and said, "There's nothing we can do! Our skills are just that good!" This was a line that Li Yumei, the Palace Mistress of the Hundred Flowers Palace, had used to tease Zhao Ying and Zhao Hua during their wedding night. 　　The women burst into laughter. Azi stomped her feet and pestered Yang Guo, who also laughed heartily and kissed her on the lips . 　　The group flew in the correct direction and, in an instant, saw a large, concave hole, about a hundred feet square. The concave area was flat and the ground was a large, level expanse covered with thick white snow. It was about forty or fifty feet deep from where they were standing, somewhat like a large, open box. This was indeed a good place to fight . The women cheered and were about to leap down when Yang Guo suddenly waved his hand to stop them. The women looked at him in surprise . 　　Yang Guo carefully observed the surrounding terrain, then looked at the sunken cliff face and said to the women with some surprise , "This depression wasn't formed naturally, nor was it dug out; it collapsed. I wonder why ." 　　The women were puzzled. Xiaolongnu asked, "Guo'er, what's different about this?" 　　Yang Guo replied, "If it were naturally formed, it would have been caused by the movement of mountains. But Mangshan is a plateau; the mountain ranges are flat and not steep, and the ridges are connected. There's no reason for it to have sunk in the middle, and it's so flat. Looking from here, the Yellow River has changed its course many times throughout history, but it has never passed through here, so it wasn't caused by river erosion." 　　Zhao Ying also asked in surprise, "Could it be man-made?" 　　Yang Guo said, "I also suspect that, but if it was man-made, it would be a huge project. What would be the purpose ?" 　　Everyone was puzzled, yet they were all very curious. 　　Yang Guo thought for a moment and said, "Let's go down and have a fight first. Maybe we can find out the reason down there ." 　　The women cheered and jumped down together, extremely excited. 　　After Chunlan, Qiuju, and Azi reached the hollow, they immediately found a large rock on the cliff edge, unloaded their bags, and placed them behind the rock to prevent the food from being ruined during the fight. This was their carefully prepared food, and they were very reluctant to part with it! After the three women quickly settled down, they looked back and saw Yuan Mingming, Zhao Ying, and Zhao Hua already stretching and kicking impatiently, taking off their outer garments and tossing them far away to hang on the dry branches of the cliff. Everyone followed suit, taking off their outer garments as well. 　　Azi did a somersault and shouted, "Sister Hua, I'm here!" She swung her palm at Zhao Hua, who shouted, "Well done!" Instantly, a strong wind blew, and snowflakes danced in the air, creating an astonishing display. 　　Suddenly, thunder roared, and lightning struck from the sky. The women were startled, only to find that Little Dragon Girl had joined the fray . Their spirits soared, and they unleashed their full power, making the battle even more exciting. 　　Yuan Mingming clasped her hands together, releasing a burst of energy. A burst of lightning and thunder erupted from her palms. Overjoyed, she let out a long, clear cry, like a phoenix's cry echoing through the heavens. The other women followed suit, and in an instant, the world changed color. Thunder and lightning raged, snowflakes danced, and the women disappeared into a hazy mist. 　　Yang Guo watched from the cliff edge, hands behind his back, a broad smile on his face. He was deeply pleased with the women's remarkable progress in their skills over the past few days. Suddenly , he leaped to his feet, but instead of joining the women's battle, he circled the cliff face. Wherever he went, he swept away the icicles and snowflakes clinging to the cliff, revealing the original color of the rock. The women's outer garments hanging on the withered branches remained untouched, and the belongings of Chunlan and the other two women behind the large rock were completely undamaged. 　　Although the women saw Yang Guo's actions, they were engrossed in their fight and didn't care what he was doing. They continued their chaotic brawl with all their might, their laughter mingling with the thunder and lightning, creating a rather pleasant sound. 　　Yang Guo carefully examined the fracture in the cliff face, but the more he looked, the more alarmed he became. He pondered for a moment, then ...

He sat cross-legged, focused his mind, and used his Mind-Observation Technique to peer directly into the surrounding mountain walls. His current level of skill was different; he possessed
the body of a True Person with the Five Elements in Harmony, capable of reaching the highest heavens and the deepest hells, but he simply chose not to. He peered into the cliff face
for a long time without gaining anything, which struck him as odd. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he turned his Mind-Observation Technique to the ground .
In just a short while, he was astonished to find what appeared to be a vast palace several feet below, its gold and jewels
even more abundant than those in the Zhongnan Ancient Tomb. However, apart from this, there were no other living beings or spirits. Further down, he could faintly hear
the sound of water. He pondered for a while before slowly withdrawing his technique. After careful consideration, he finally came to a conclusion: he believed that this must
have been built by someone from a dynasty hundreds of years ago in Mangshan, constructing an underground mausoleum or palace. However, because they hadn't detected
a water vein beneath the structure, the weight of the building damaged the water vein, and finally, on a certain day, the entire structure collapsed.

Yang Guo was greatly surprised and astonished. This must have been a major event back then, but Yan Juren hadn't mentioned it to him,
clearly unaware of it. Otherwise, when Qin Shijie suggested they come here to fight, she would have certainly brought up this old story.
Therefore, the construction of this underground mausoleum or palace was likely carried out in secret, unrecorded in historical records, and
unknown even to the locals. Otherwise, it might have been excavated long ago, and wouldn't still be intact. He was very
curious and used his mind-reading technique to carefully examine the path to the interior, and was even more astonished. It turned out that there were five entrances at the top of the building
, one of which was next to the large stone where Chunlan and the other two women had placed their belongings. These five entrances were actually
ventilation holes for the underground building, arranged according to the five elements and incorporating the principles of Qimen Dunjia. Therefore, even before
the building collapsed, these five entrances were generally invisible to the public. At this time, all five ventilation holes were
buried under yellow earth, but not deep below the surface.

He smiled and rose to his feet, determined to explore the underground structure. He slowly unleashed a palm strike from the cliff edge
; the soft, yielding force penetrated deep into the ground, only encountering a rebound ten feet below – caused by the solid rock. This indicated
the underground palace was extremely sturdy, explaining why it had collapsed due to its immense weight. Moreover, the collapse wasn't sudden
; judging from the smooth mountainside, the entire structure must have slumped slowly, suggesting the interior
shouldn't be severely damaged.

Meanwhile, the women's fighting spirit remained undiminished, their shouts and cries echoing amidst the lightning. Yang Guo didn't urge them on
, simply watching them with a smile.

Suddenly, Azi cried out, "That's so exhilarating! Sister Ying, push harder!" At the same time, Zhao Ying's voice
rang out, "Alright! Watch this!" Another deafening clap of thunder echoed, mixed with Azi's laughter. She was
truly enjoying herself, her laughter never ceasing. By this time, her skill was on par with the other women.

After a while, a figure leaped up forty or fifty feet from the cliff, towering above the precipice. A silvery laugh
resounded across the sky. The figure spun in the air, pressing down with both palms. The women below were looking up to receive the blow. Yang Guo
recognized Yuan Mingming. If those two palms landed, combined with the women's resistance, the underground structure might be damaged
. Startled, he flicked his long sleeves, deflecting Yuan Mingming's palm strikes. The women suddenly felt they had lost their grip and were greatly
surprised. Seeing that it was Yang Guo who had made the move, they were all bewildered. Yuan Mingming flew straight into Yang Guo's arms, her beautiful face flushed,
her eyes brimming with joy. She said coquettishly, "Brother..."

Yang Guo hugged her, kissed her pink cheek, and chuckled, "Those two slaps from you wouldn't have been fun
."

At this moment, the other women also gathered around, laughing and joking. Xiaolongnu, hearing this, laughed, "Guo'er, today's fight
was really exhilarating! Why don't you come and fight with everyone?"

Azi also clung to Yang Guo, acting coquettishly, overjoyed.

Yuan Mingming hugged Yang Guo's neck, gave him a deep kiss, and then stood up from his embrace, laughing, "Brother,
were my two slaps very powerful?"

Yang Guo laughed, "Of course they were! If those two slaps had landed, you would have destroyed all the treasures underground
. Wouldn't that have been no fun?"

Hearing this, the other women perked up their ears, straightening their disheveled clothes and hair while looking at Yang Guo with surprise.

Ah Zi, Chun Lan, and Qiu Ju wanted to hear Yang Guo speak, but they were also worried about the food they had carefully prepared. Ah Zi
couldn't help but run to check on him, and seeing that everything was alright, she giggled with joy. The other women, seeing her smug expression,
also laughed non-stop.

Yang Guo said, "My earlier guess was correct. This depression wasn't naturally formed. Many years ago
, someone built an underground structure here. I don't know if it was a mausoleum or a palace, but they accidentally damaged the underground water veins. Because of
its excessive weight, the entire structure collapsed, creating this depression." Seeing the women's surprised
expressions, he smiled slightly and added, "The top of this structure is only ten zhang above the ground. If Mingmei's two palm strikes had landed
, it might have been damaged. Wouldn't that have been no fun?"

Yuan Mingming exclaimed in surprise, "Is that so? Does Young Master mean to go down and investigate?"

Yang Guo laughed, "Don't you all want to?"

Azi jumped up and down, shouting, "So much fun! So much fun!" The women also showed great
curiosity.

Xiaolongnu glanced around again, somewhat astonished, and said, "Judging from the size of this depression, the underground structure
is quite large, but I wonder which dynasty it was built in?"

"I'm also speculating. Even Yan Juren and Senior Sister Qin don't know, so it must have been a long time ago. Maybe it was
even built in secret back then." Yang Guo smiled and looked at Xiaolongnu, saying, "Long'er, the treasures hidden down here
are more than in our ancient tomb!"

The women weren't very interested in the treasures, but Azi smiled and said, "I wonder if there are any of those precious
stone necklaces that Sister Long gave us. They're so pretty! Let's find a few for the little devil to play with in the future."

The women chuckled at this, and then looked at Yang Guo with tender affection.

Yang Guo chuckled, glanced at the sky, and seeing that it was almost noon, said, "Are you still fighting? If not
, let's go inside this underground structure and explore. If all goes well, we might even be able to eat inside. It's
much more fun than eating on the snow, isn't it?"

The women were all excited at this suggestion. A'Zi was especially eager to retrieve their luggage, while Chunlan and Qiuju carefully
carried it up as well. They were really taking good care of it.

Yang Guo pointed to the large rock beside their belongings and said, "There are five entrances down,
arranged according to the five elements. One of them is right next to this rock; it should be a ventilation hole for the underground structure. The main gate may
have already sunk underground." He thought for a moment and added, "Over the years, the ventilation hole has become blocked. Unless
there's another exit below, this underground structure should be completely airtight. We need to open at least two ventilation holes to
allow air circulation; otherwise, it will still be difficult."

The women all nodded in agreement. Yang Guo gestured for the women to step back a little. He slowly pushed out a palm, lifting up
the yellow soil beside the large rock. Sure enough, a blue stone resembling a giant snail slowly appeared. Yang Guo flicked his sleeve, sweeping away
the mud and debris on the stone. Everyone observed it carefully, and after a while, they all exclaimed in admiration, considering it a masterpiece of craftsmanship
, its ingenious design breathtaking.

It turned out that the large, snail-shaped rock had hollow interiors with numerous crevices, through which air
entered the underground structure. This was invisible from the outside; had they not known of the underground structure, no one would have guessed
that this snail-shaped bluestone was actually a ventilation shaft.

Yang Guo listened for a moment and, finding no sound of air convection, knew his guess was correct—the underground structure was completely
airtight. He glanced at Xiaolongnu, Yuan Mingming, Zhao Ying, and Zhao Hua, who understood his meaning. They all giggled and
flew to the other four ventilation shafts, mimicking Yang Guo's method, clearing away the yellow soil. Soon, the other four
ventilation shafts were revealed, and the sound of air convection became clearly audible.

The four women returned to Yang Guo's side. Yang Guo was still examining the bluestone. After a while, he swept away
the yellow soil around it. At that moment, a large pile of stones appeared where the snail's tail had been. He smiled slightly, placed his hand on
the snail's head, and gently pushed it towards its tail. With a rumbling sound, the snail-shaped bluestone moved, revealing a
large enough hole for a person to pass through. The women cheered with delight. Yang Guo peered down and saw steps at the entrance
, but they quickly turned a corner and disappeared below, with no light coming in. He listened carefully but
found nothing unusual. He then smiled and said to Xiaolongnu, "Long'er, you go first!"

Xiaolongnu exclaimed joyfully, "Alright! Come with me, ladies!" She then beckoned to her
outer robe hanging on a withered branch on the mountainside, leaped into the entrance, and the other women followed suit, retrieving their own robes and
entering one by one. Yang Guo entered last. Upon reaching the entrance, he pressed his hands together, then pushed the bluestone back into place. Suddenly, he
saw light filtering through the cracks in the bluestone, which then pierced through a large expanse of glazed tiles at a bend in the stairs
, projecting into the ground in a zigzag pattern. He was astonished. He could hear the cheers of the women below and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Yang Guo floated down the stairs and found himself in a spacious hall, brightly lit by the light
. After two turns, he had descended about ten zhang (approximately 33 meters), still about ten zhang above the ground, but there were no more stairs; the stone steps
seemed to be suspended in mid-air. He could see the women already jumping and playing joyfully in the hall. Azi called out, "Big brother,
come down quickly! It's so much fun!" The women waved and laughed incessantly.

Yang Guo leaped into the hall. He glanced around and felt that the vast hall could truly be described as magnificent and resplendent
.

This hall was laid out like the imperial palace. On the high platform to the north stood a throne, its golden surface gleaming,
adorned with various pearls and gemstones. Nine steps led down from the throne. Behind the throne was a towering screen, painted with a giant
phoenix with outstretched wings, its eyes set with two rubies.

The palace was approximately thirty zhang square, its floor paved entirely with warm-colored, two-foot-square pebbles. The hall had no pillars
, making it appear exceptionally spacious. Apart from a thin layer of dust, the floor was exceptionally clean. Directly opposite the throne, about twenty
zhang away, was a massive white stone door, currently closed. The bolts were two enormous, jet-black wooden beams, clearly
specially treated, as they were perfectly intact. Judging from the condition of the bolts,
the last person to leave this underground palace must have exited through the ventilation openings in the roof. The walls on the east and west sides were adorned with colorful paintings and reliefs. Yang
Guo brushed away the thin layer of dust from the walls with a flick of his sleeve, and he and the women looked closely. Yang Guo couldn't help but laugh, and the women also
laughed shyly.

It turned out that the east wall depicted the Buddha's Passion, showing Shakyamuni being tempted by demonesses. These
demonesses were all lifelike, flying around the Buddha, each with exposed breasts and buttocks, legs
outstretched, their eyes full of lust, their figures extremely alluring. The Buddha, however, looked dumbfounded,
quite different from the Buddhist description of "lowered eyes and a righteous mind." This was clearly intended to ridicule the Buddha. The women chuckled as they looked at it. After

laughing for a while, they went to look at the mural on the west side, which depicted Laozi's enlightenment. Legend has it that Laozi's
surname was Li, his given name was Er, and his courtesy name was Boyang. He was a native of the State of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period, and he authored the five thousand words of the Tao Te Ching. Confucius once visited him to seek the Tao. Upon attaining
enlightenment, he was tested by the Mysterious Maiden, who was originally a bird with a human head. However, the painting depicted her as an exceptionally beautiful woman, her bodice
slightly open, revealing a glimpse of her pink bodice, exuding an indescribable allure. The women stared wide-eyed, completely
captivated, marveling at the artist's exquisite skill.

After browsing for a while, Yang Guo smiled and asked Yuan Mingming, "Mingmei, can you tell what dynasty this building belongs to
?"

Yuan Mingming blushed and smiled, "I've guessed about eighty percent, but I'm not sure."

"Tell us first, and then we can all discuss it together," Yang Guo said with a smile.

"Sister, judging from the carving techniques on the east wall and the painting style on the west wall, they should both be products of the Northern and Southern Dynasties period. Furthermore,
the attire of the beauties in the paintings is similar to that of Princess Dai and her consorts. Therefore, I suspect this palace was likely
built during their time."

The women, upon hearing Yuan Mingming's words and carefully examining the clothing of the witches and the mystic women, indeed found it similar to that of Princess Dai and her attendants
, only with significantly less clothing. Everyone exclaimed in admiration, praising her keen eye.

Yang Guo also smiled and praised, "Ming-mei's eye is indeed sharp. I also guessed it was built during the Northern Wei Dynasty,
and this palace might even be Empress Dowager Hu's secret palace."

The women looked at Yang Guo in surprise again.

Yang Guo smiled and said, "Ever since I met Prince Yuan Yao and Princess Dai, I've been very curious about their era
. After returning, I've read some books, and yesterday I also consulted Scholar Yan about many unofficial histories of that dynasty."
"So we've gained some understanding." He pointed to the screen behind the throne and said, "Look, this throne screen
depicts a colorful phoenix, not the dragon we might imagine. Therefore, this throne must have been for a woman. Throughout history,
only Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty was a woman to rule as emperor. However, as Mingmei just said, the carving techniques and painting
style here are not typical of the Tang Dynasty. And although Empress Dowager Hu of the Northern Wei Dynasty ruled for many years, it's
highly likely that she built this underground palace."

All the women nodded in agreement.

Azi nodded and said, "Big brother, you and Sister Ming are right. I've seen many paintings like this at home
. They're all in the most popular style during the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the carving is very similar to the early Buddhist statues in the Longmen Grottoes
."

The women's curiosity was greatly aroused, especially since Empress Dowager Hu had ruled as regent, murdered the emperor and deposed the crown prince, and sent her brother, Master
Hu, to capture Crown Prince Yuan Diao. Moreover, Master Hu had used a rough yellow talisman to suppress the true yin energy of Princess Dai and twenty-six others
for over seven hundred years. Such a mysterious woman as Empress Dowager Hu naturally aroused their curiosity.

Yang Guo counted on his fingers and said, "According to the timeline, six years after Empress Dowager Hu assassinated Emperor Xiaoming, the Northern Wei Dynasty
fell. The last emperor, Xiaowu, fled to Chang'an, establishing the Eastern Wei Dynasty, which was later also assassinated by Yuwen Tai.
After Empress Dowager Hu's assassination, Erzhu Rong, the Grand General of the Six Prefectures stationed in Jinyang, used the pretext of quelling the rebellion to lead his army into Luoyang. He not only
killed Empress Dowager Hu but also the emperor she had installed, Yuan Zhao, and installed Yuan You as emperor, known as Emperor Xiaozhuang. He also
massacred over two thousand people, including princes and ministers. However, Erzhu Rong was later personally killed by Emperor Xiaozhuang. Therefore,
this underground palace must have been secretly built during Emperor Xiaoming's reign. Perhaps Empress Dowager Hu was killed before it was even put into use,
or perhaps it collapsed before it was even opened." He pointed to the various furnishings in the main hall, all of which were brand new and appeared
incomplete.

The women listened intently to Yang Guo's narration, recalling the tragic palace turmoil of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and sighed deeply
. Their curiosity about Empress Dowager Hu grew even stronger.

Suddenly, Yang Guo noticed the golden characters "The Light of Righteousness" on the screen frame behind the throne, positioned where the phoenix head was raised
. He thought for a moment and said, "That's it. This palace was built when Empress Dowager Hu was ruling as regent.
Emperor Xiaoming had only recently ascended the throne. Emperor Ming had several reign titles, one of which was 'Zhengguang,' and he even issued an edict implementing
the 'Zhengguang Calendar.' It seems that although Empress Dowager Hu was the de facto emperor, she didn't dare to openly declare herself emperor,
so she built this palace to satisfy her own ego. It probably sank before it was fully completed."

The women nodded in agreement with Yang Guo's assessment. In truth, they knew little about this dynasty, and Yang Guo
had only recently begun to learn about it.

After a moment of sighing, Yang Guo looked around again. He ascended the throne and peered behind a screen.
There was a wide corridor with a door about five zhang apart, and two more doors at the east and west ends. He pushed open
the door on the right, went inside, and couldn't help but smile. He then came out and beckoned the women to come forward. The women
rushed in like a gust of wind.

It was an enormous bedroom, at least several times larger than Yang Guo's bedroom in Luoyang,
with thick, pure white wool carpets covering the floor. Pushing open the door, one sees a screen made of bronze mirrors. The most striking feature of the room
is an enormous bed, its embroidered quilts and mattresses resembling a newlywed's chamber. The headboard faces north against the wall, where
lamps are installed. On either side are two small doors, presumably for bathrooms. About ten feet from each side of the bed stand two huge
bronze mirrors, their surfaces dusty but lacking the bronze sheen; a little wiping would surely make them gleam. But these are not the most unusual features. What
is truly astonishing are the numerous standing, naked dolls scattered throughout the room. A careful count reveals ten men and ten women, totaling twenty
. Each doll has dark skin, unlike those of people from the Central Plains, and is neither handsome nor beautiful, yet each
possesses a unique and alluring charm. The dolls are roughly the size of real people. They all have different poses, and their male and female genitalia
are particularly prominent. Each doll has a glass lamp atop its head.

As everyone was captivated by the puppets, Chunlan suddenly let out a loud exclamation. All eyes turned to her,
and she was looking up at the wall behind them. There, on the wall, was a large, exquisitely carved portrait of a beautiful woman, vibrant and brightly colored.
The woman in the painting seemed ready to rise at any moment.

Everyone's gaze was drawn to the painting, unwilling to look away.

The woman in the painting was about twice the size of a real person, around twenty years old, sitting on a brocade stool, draped only in
a red shawl. Her skin was smooth and fair, her hair bound with a golden crown; she wore no other adornments. While this woman might not necessarily be
more beautiful than Xiaolongnu or the other women, her eyes, like autumn water, seemed to gaze upon everyone—so gentle, innocent
, and pure, yet so full of deep affection. The beautiful woman held a ten-foot-long golden staff in her right hand, slightly raised.
Upon closer inspection, the staff's shape resembled a male phallus, even down to the crown-like head. Her left hand rested naturally on her left
thigh, her slender, jade-like fingers seemingly ready to move, the bright red nail polish on her nails dazzlingly striking. Her upper body was upright,
her two full, firm breasts appearing to still bend, their nipples a vibrant peach-red. Her legs were even more alluring; her right
leg stretched straight to the right, incredibly long and beautiful, its curves so perfect that one couldn't resist the urge to reach out
and touch it; her left leg was slightly bent to the left, revealing her vulva in its entirety. The peach-red vulva was slightly parted, seemingly
glistening with honey, a moist, dewy clitoris faintly visible, yet there wasn't a single pubic hair around it.

Everyone stared in stunned silence. After a long, long time, Xiaolongnu sighed, "This person must be Empress Dowager Hu."

The women seemed to awaken from a dream, speechless for a long time. Suddenly, Azi stammered, "Brother
, this woman... there... she has no hair."

Hearing this, the women all looked closely again, and indeed, that incomparably beautiful area was completely hairless.
They all laughed.

Azi said shyly, "My mother said that many girls in her hometown shave their body hair after marriage
, saying it's cleaner that way. I wonder if Empress Dowager Hu is the same...?"

The women were all astonished. Zhao Hua laughed, "I know that. Many barbarians, regardless of gender,
are covered in hair, especially in that area, which is incredibly thick. If they don't shave, you can't even find their entrance
! But this Empress Dowager Hu should be Han Chinese; she might have been born hairless, what's commonly called a 'white tiger'."

All the women burst into laughter, and Azi blushed crimson with embarrassment.

Zhao Hua giggled for a while, then said, "Our Azi isn't a barbarian, and her pubic hair is
absolutely gorgeous—just the right amount, and it's shimmering with golden light! It's truly captivating." As she spoke, she hugged
Yang Guo's neck and laughed, "Brother, don't you think Azi's pubic hair is beautiful?"

Yang Guo kissed her and laughed, "Azi is truly beautiful. Last night, when we consummated our marriage, I didn't dare let her overexert
herself, afraid she couldn't handle it."

Hearing this, Azi was overjoyed, giggling and jumping onto Yang Guo, twisting and turning with immense happiness. Then she
exclaimed joyfully, "Big brother, you're so good! I love you so much!" She showered him with kisses on the cheek. Everyone
laughed. Yang Guo, with Zhao Hua and A Zi in his arms, laughed heartily.

The bedroom had waist-high wardrobes along the walls, exuding a fragrant aroma. They were all made of ebony, but there were no
decorations on them. The room's light came from the ceiling, refracted through five air vents. These lights, after
several turns, appeared bright yet soft, but at night, even with moonlight,
lamps were still necessary. The ceiling was still the original stone color, untouched, suggesting it wasn't truly finished.

Yang Guo approached a glass lampstand made of a female doll and examined it for a while, then couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
The wick inside the glass lampshade showed signs of use, but the burn marks were faint, likely from a trial run.
The wick extended through the doll to the ground, indicating that the ground was filled with wax, and it was recyclable—a truly
timeless lamp.

The women followed Yang Guo's example and examined the glass lamps made of dolls. Yuan Mingming was looking at a male puppet, a very robust
and tall one. She stood on tiptoe to peer at the wick inside the lampshade, and her right hand accidentally touched the puppet's drooping
penis. At that touch, the penis slowly grew larger and erect. Yuan Mingming screamed in fright and jumped hurriedly into
Yang Guo's arms, still panting, her eyes wide as she stared at the erect penis.

Yang Guo and the other women were also greatly astonished and gathered around the puppet to examine it closely. The male puppet was made of sandalwood
, so it had dark skin, thick eyebrows, and a high forehead. Its shape resembled that of a Kunlun slave. Its penis was extremely thick and large, also dark
, nearly a foot long and three fingers wide, and it was throbbing. None of the women dared to touch it, but Yang Guo reached out and
touched it. It was surprisingly soft yet firm, remarkably similar to a real penis. He squeezed it slightly, both laughing and sighing,
praising its supernatural craftsmanship, but also indignant at Empress Dowager Hu's cruelty.

It turned out that this penis was made from a real penis. After the penis is completely severed, some of its contents are removed. It
is then treated with special methods, such as leather making, and soaked in chemicals to prevent decay, maintain its elasticity, and preserve its original color and shape.
Then, hundreds of thin, hollow tubes are implanted inside the penis, sewn together to connect to a doll filled with a liquid
. Normally limp, the penis, upon contact, vibrates, causing the liquid to flow into the penis through the tubes.
The pressure of the liquid inside the doll causes it to swell and erect, appearing exactly like a real penis. Perhaps it can even be used!

Everyone marveled. Azi timidly asked, "Big brother, this thing... is it really cut off from a person
? How terrifying!"

Yang Guo sighed, "This Empress Dowager Hu is truly licentious and cruel. Judging from the shape of this penis, it must have
been cut off alive, root and all, perhaps even when he was in the throes of passion. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so
thick and so elastic."

The women blushed and couldn't speak, yet they stared intently at the penis, incredibly curious. After a
while, the penis slowly softened and drooped, looking just like a real thing.

Yang Guo looked at the glass lamp on the doll's head, and with a thought, he flicked his finger, igniting the wick. The light slowly brightened
, and the glass emitted various colors. The women imitated Yang Guo, laughing as they
lit every glass lamp in the room. The room was brightly lit, but the light wasn't intense; instead, it had an indescribable warmth and sweetness.
After a while, the inner layer of the glass lampshade, sensing the heat, began to slowly rotate. The penises of each male puppet
gradually rose high, emitting soft, melodious sounds. The penis of the puppet that had been drooping was now erect.
As for the glass lamps made of female puppets, their mouths emitted sounds like moans and sobs,
their lips trembling, their eyes opening and closing intermittently, their expressions conveying an indescribable pleasure. It was truly a
masterpiece of craftsmanship.

Everyone was utterly astonished and stunned, their faces flushed, their eyes gleaming. They
involuntarily moved closer to Yang Guo, and A'Zi trembled slightly, one hand covering her lower body, as if deeply excited.

Yang Guo was very curious about the mouths of the female dolls. Their lips were all exceptionally thick. He looked closely and saw that
the lips had fine lines and a fleshy color, making them incredibly realistic. He touched them lightly with his finger; they were as soft as cotton. As the lips
opened and closed, he inserted his finger into them and suddenly felt a stirring and suction inside. The soft moans came from
the movement. A thought struck Yang Guo: these weren't lips; these were women's vulvas!

It turned out that the lips of these female dolls, like the penises of male dolls, were taken from real people. Skilled craftsmen removed
the entire vaginal cavity and vulva of a woman, soaked it using the same methods used to make male doll penises, and then inserted it into the mouth of the female doll. The dolls
' heads contained reeds. When the glass lamps were lit, the heat caused the reeds to expand and vibrate, producing sound. The male dolls
emitted musical notes, while the female dolls emitted moans. The lips, made of the vulva's outer labia, not only opened and closed accordingly, but the internal
vaginal cavity, softened and moistened by the heat, became almost like a real vulva, allowing for penetration and sexual intercourse.
The ingenuity of the design and craftsmanship was unparalleled, yet it was also extremely inhumane and cruel.

Yang Guo's mind was somewhat shaken. Seeing the women's state, he laughed heartily, raised his sleeves, and flicked them in the air
, extinguishing all the glass lamps in the room. The women then awoke with a start, their faces flushed as they chuckled.

Zhao Hua buried her head in Yang Guo's arms, clinging to him and saying, "Brother, can we stay here for a few days?"

A'Zi, her face flushed, also pleaded, "Big brother, it's so much fun! So much fun! Let's stay for a few days
, okay?"

Yang Guo glanced at Xiaolongnu and Yuan Mingming, seeing their expectant faces, and couldn't help but laugh, "You
want to too?"

Xiaolongnu and Yuan Mingming blushed and remained silent, their eyes filled with tears as they looked at him. Yang Guo laughed heartily, "
"Alright, since everyone likes it here, let's stay here for a few days."

The women cheered. Yang Guo laughed, "To stay here, we need to tidy it up first, otherwise it'll be covered in
dust and uncomfortable."

Hearing this, the women prepared to clean. Yang Guo suppressed a laugh and added, "This underground palace has more than just this
. Let's explore it first; maybe there's something even more fun."

The women shouted, and Yuan Mingming, Chunlan, and Qiuju busied themselves tidying up the room, while Zhao Ying, Zhao Hua, and Azi
ran out of the room, clearly wanting to explore other places first. Xiaolongnu, holding Yang Guo's right arm, watched Yuan
Mingming, Chunlan, and Qiuju working diligently and laughed incessantly.

Yuan Mingming was tidying up the large bed, even bigger than the shared bed they had at the Gu family's house. She
carefully examined each layer of the brocade mattress and woolen cushion, finding them all new, except for a slight layer of dust on the top layer.
Still not entirely at ease, she gently shook it, checked it again, and even smelled it to confirm there were no unusual
smells before preparing to put it back on. This underground palace was like a cellar, indeed an excellent place for storage,
especially since the entrance at the top had been sealed with mud; the items inside could practically survive for thousands of years without decay.

Yang Guo suddenly said, "Mingmei, wait!"

Yuan Mingming looked at Yang Guo, puzzled. Yang Guo smiled, "You're only looking at the things on the bed, but you haven't seen
what's under the bed."

Yuan Mingming paused, thinking: That's right! This large bed was higher than usual. She gently nudged the edge with her knee,
but couldn't budge it. She was greatly surprised; even without exerting force, it was
unimaginable that she couldn't move a bed. She rolled up all the mattresses, bed linens, and bed skirts and piled them inside the bed. Only then did she see
clearly that the entire bed was cast in one piece of brass, no wonder it couldn't be moved. The brass surface was also intricately engraved with many patterns
. Yuan Mingming glanced at them; they were all depictions of lovemaking. She didn't have time to examine them closely. Chunlan and Qiuju also came to check
and saw a gap about half a foot from the top of the bed. That meant it opened from there. Yuan Mingming hadn't been nudging the right
spot; no wonder it wouldn't move. Overjoyed at this discovery, she reached out and pushed forward. Sure enough, the lid slowly slid
open. Everyone eagerly peered inside. Chunlan and Qiuju cheered, and Yuan Mingming was also astonished. Yang Guo and
Xiaolongnu exchanged a smile.

The outer edge of the bronze bed was not thick, only a few inches, but the entire inside was neatly filled with gold bricks. Yang Guo
reached out and picked up a brick, and the women each took one to admire. The gold bricks were very heavy, about
half the size of ordinary bricks. The front of the gold bricks was engraved with the words "Taihe Treasure" and the mark of one thousand taels.

Yang Guo pondered for a moment and said, "'Taihe' is the reign title of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. At that time, the country was at its peak.
During those years, he promulgated many laws and regulations, moved the capital from Datong to Luoyang, and began minting Wuzhu coins. This gold must have been
the accumulation of his military campaigns, but unexpectedly, it was all moved here by Empress Dowager Hu. No wonder the geology of Mangshan could
n't withstand the weight of this palace and collapsed."

Xiaolongnu also sighed, "Although our ancient tomb has abundant reserves, we don't have such piles of gold bricks.
This shows the strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty at its peak."

Yang Guo sighed slightly, "I just used my mind-reading technique to probe the interior of this palace..." "And that 's not
all. This place is practically their national treasury. I wonder if Empress Dowager Hu hid this gold here on official business,
or if she stole it. But she's practically the empress, so stealing is unlikely."

Yuan Mingming shook her head. "Young master, in my opinion, this gold was stolen. Although she's practically
the empress, given her debauchery and cruelty, she must still harbor resentment. This gold is probably for her plot to usurp the throne
, or perhaps for preparing for war against powerful foreign officials." She was reasoning based on the rise and fall of dynasties. Yang Guo didn't
want to speculate further, after all, it was hundreds of years ago.

The women sighed for a while, then put the gold bricks back in their places.

Chunlan asked, "Young master, what do you intend to do with this gold?"

Yang Guo replied, "Sister Lan, you mean...?"

"So much gold can be used for many things, such as driving out foreign tribes..." Chunlan said happily
.

Yang Guo sighed, "I understand what Lan'er means, but what happens after we expel them? Are we just going to let a tyrannical and treacherous ruler hold sway
? If war breaks out, the people will suffer terribly!"

Chunlan remained silent. Yang Guo was absolutely right.

After a while, Qiuju looked at Yang Guo timidly, pleading, "Young Master, you should be the emperor..."

Yang Guo laughed, hugged Qiuju, and kissed her, saying, "That's impossible. Don't you think your husband lacks
such talent and ambition? If he were emperor, spending his days with all of you good wives, he would surely be a tyrannical ruler.
"

The women all loudly protested, clinging to Yang Guo and pleading, their words filled with tenderness and affection. Xiaolongnu softly
said, "Although Guo'er might not be a tyrannical ruler, let's just be our carefree immortal couple!
Let others fight for worldly fame and fortune."

Everyone laughed and joked for a while. Chunlan and Qiuju helped Yuan Mingming tidy up the large bed and re-lay
the mattress. Xiaolongnu cleaned all the dust from the walls and floor. Everyone eagerly
sat and lay on the bed, finding it very comfortable, and they all looked at Yang Guo and laughed non-stop.

Yang Guo waved his hand at the two dusty bronze mirrors on either side, and the two large bronze mirrors immediately became bright as new. The sitting
and lying postures of the women on the bed were clearly visible. The reflections in the two mirrors were extremely alluring. The women gasped in surprise and then curiously
admired themselves in the mirrors, finding it extremely amusing. Yuan Mingming's eyes were dripping with tears as she whispered to Yang Guo, "Brother, let's share a big bed tonight
, that would be so exciting and fun!" Xiaolongnu was also moved by her words and stared at Yang Guo adoringly
. Chunlan and Qiuju were still staring at the male phallus by the bed, giggling incessantly. Knowing it was a real penis that had been cut
off, they dared not touch it. Chunlan flicked her finger, and the phallus slowly rose again, making everyone laugh even harder
.

Yang Guo also sat on the edge of the bed, turning his head to see the screen by the door, which was also a bronze mirror. He then
flicked it with his sleeve, and instantly, the bronze mirror became as clean as new. With the three bronze mirrors reflecting each other, everyone's image was displayed.
The figures, posing from different angles, were captivating in every movement. Even without doing anything, they were enough to stir the imagination.
The exquisitely beautiful image of Empress Dowager Hu on the wall seemed lifelike, and her once innocent eyes
were now alluring and seductive. The crystalline light in that small space now appeared like flowing water.

Lost in their reverie, they suddenly heard A-Zi's voice from outside: "Big brother, Dragon sister, come quick
! Oh, it's so much fun…!" Hearing this, they exchanged smiles, rose, straightened their clothes, and prepared to leave the room.

Little Dragon Girl suddenly said to Chunlan and Qiuju, "You two sisters, go see if the bathhouse inside is usable. We
need a place to wash our hands! Let's also look around elsewhere." Everyone realized this was a major problem. Without a place to bathe and wash their hands, how could they possibly stay

in this underground palace for several days? Perhaps not even a single day. 　　Yang Guo laughed, "It's fortunate that Long'er thought of this. If this problem can't be solved, we can't stay even for a day. It's really kind of you all to have gotten up so early and not even thought about washing your hands yet!" 　　The women hadn't thought about it before, but after he said that, they suddenly felt aroused, and they all blushed and giggled. Yang Guo said, "I'll go check out the bathroom. It might take some effort. You all go see what fun things A-Zi has found." 　　The women all nodded in agreement, especially Chunlan and Qiuju, who had just started their periods. They hadn't felt it during their earlier lovemaking , but now they suddenly felt uncomfortable and sticky down there. Chunlan blushed and said, "Young Master, if you see that bathroom is usable , you must call us quickly." With that, she hurriedly followed Xiaolongnu and the others out of the room. 　　Yang Guo pushed open the door on the right side of the bed, and sure enough, there was a spacious bathroom, which was also very bright. There were four white jade half-body doll-shaped glass lamps hanging on the walls. Inside the bathhouse was a large pool, large enough for five or six people to swim in. The pool was carved from a massive white stone, but it was dry. Two pipes extended from the wall into the pool ; one was likely the source of hot water. There was also a drainpipe leading underground, but the original water supply system had been destroyed after the palace collapsed. The chamber pot was made of enamel and included both squatting and sitting facilities. There was also a stone bed, stone benches, and drainpipes . The entire bathhouse was very comfortable and relaxing, but it was dry. 　　Yang Guo observed carefully. He knew that if this bathhouse was unusable, even if there were others elsewhere, they would be equally unusable. 　　He recalled detecting the sound of tides when he used his mind-reading technique to probe the underground. Now that he was underground, the water source should be nearby. He focused his mind and used his mind-reading technique again to probe the surrounding environment. After a moment, he slowly withdrew his technique, smiled slightly, and knew that the problem could be solved. 　　It turned out that this bathhouse was located at the northernmost end of the entire underground palace. A water reservoir, originally situated outside a ten-foot-wide wall constructed of massive stones, was intended for the palace's use. However, after the palace collapsed, the reservoir did not sink with it; in fact, even if it had collapsed along with the palace, it would certainly have been unusable. Yet, the sound of the tides that Yang Guo had previously detected was located outside this palace wall and underground . This meant that after the palace collapsed, it partially blocked the underground water veins, causing some to swirl outside the northern palace wall, while others flowed underground, leaving a gap of over ten feet between the water and the palace foundation. The water veins flowed from northwest to southeast, meaning that the northeast corner of this hundred-foot-square palace was directly above the underground water veins and had also blocked a small portion of the flow. 　　Having understood the surrounding situation, a large part of the problem was solved. He first examined the drain in the pool. The drain hole was made of copper, covered with a patterned copper cap, and about the diameter of a bowl. He lifted the cap, placed his right palm over the drain hole, and with a slight exertion of energy, his true qi flowed down. It quickly encountered resistance, indicating the hole was blocked. Yang Guo exhaled slightly, his true qi suddenly pressing down, and with a "whoosh," the water flowed freely, accompanied by the faint sound of water. He smiled slightly and repeated the process, clearing the drain holes on the other drains in the bathroom and the chamber pot. 　　With the drain holes cleared, he could try to bring in water, but there were two inlets. He didn't know which one was for hot water . Hot water was obviously unnecessary now; in fact, they hadn't used hot water for bathing for a long time. He thought for a moment. If they wanted to heat water, the heating equipment must be near the kitchen, which was on the east side of the palace, that is, the right-hand side. The inlet should be the one on the right. He noticed that the inlet on the left side of the reservoir was covered by a dragon-head-shaped bronze cap. The dragon's mouth was wide open, indicating the water inlet, but the dragon's head was facing left. Yang Guo found this strange and reached out to lift the cap, only to find that it could be turned. After removing the cap and examining it closely, he realized that the dragon -head cap also served a water-stopping function. When the dragon's head was turned straight, water could flow out; when it was turned to the left, the valve inside the cap would stop the water flow. Yang Guo was very impressed with this design, feeling that the craftsmanship of the Northern Wei Dynasty was truly unmatched by later generations . 　　He stood on the edge of the reservoir, placed his palm over the inlet, and slightly turned his body. A burst of energy shot out rapidly, and with another "whoosh," the inlet was opened. In an instant, Yang Guo could feel water flowing down his palm. He slowly withdrew his palm, and sure enough, a powerful jet of water shot out from the inlet, carrying mud and sand. Yang Guo leaped down to the edge of the pool, letting the water jet continue to pour in. After a moment, all the mud and sand had cleared. Yang Guo then gently pushed the water around in the pool with his palm, causing the mud and sand to drain out through the drain . He covered the copper cap on the inlet, turned the faucet to allow the water to continue flowing in, and then covered all the drain holes with copper caps. 　　He was quite pleased to have successfully resolved this important matter. He retreated to the bathroom doorway and observed for a while. The powerful flow of water quickly filled the pool and overflowed from the edge. The overflowing water gathered in the trough beside the pool and then flowed together into the drain on the ground. The trough had several branching streams that flowed into the inlets of the enamel toilets, ensuring that these bathing and handwashing facilities remained clean. Suddenly, a question arose in Yang Guo's mind. The water flow was so rapid, yet the sound was so faint; it should have been a loud splashing sound. He went inside to observe more closely and discovered the reason: the angle of the faucet cap at the inlet and the inside of the pool. Although the faucet cap had a large opening, it concentrated the water jet, ensuring it flowed vertically. The inner wall of the pool, where the water collected, was slightly angled, rather than pouring directly into the bottom or surface, thus making almost no sound. Yang Guo was filled with admiration once more. 　　He swept away the dust and dirt from the walls and floor of the bathroom with his sleeves, flushing it out with the water.

She then lit the four white jade doll-shaped glass lamps on the wall, instantly illuminating the bathroom. Soft music
emanated from the lamps, creating an indescribably comfortable atmosphere. Yang Guo sighed inwardly, thinking that Empress Dowager Hu truly knew how to enjoy herself, but unfortunately, she was too
cruel.

He returned to his bedroom, opened the drawer of the bedside table, and was startled. The first drawer
was filled with male phalluses of various sizes, thicknesses, and skin colors, lined with red brocade
. Although the sight was shocking, it was also exquisitely beautiful. He couldn't resist picking one up for a closer look. It was surprisingly heavy,
with a perfect balance of firmness and softness. Despite all these years, it showed no signs of drying out. Examining the surface, he was certain it was a real penis. The head was remarkably elastic, the entire shaft quite long, coated with a slightly shiny , oily substance. Fine threads were densely sewn into the base, which was covered by other soft, leathery material, resembling a handle. It seemed a considerable amount of substance was injected inside, not only preventing decay but also providing high elasticity. 　　Yang Guo thought these penises must be used by Empress Dowager Hu for masturbation. But she didn't use real ones, instead relying on these substitutes , which puzzled him. Was it because her libido was exceptionally high, and she needed them for emergencies? Or perhaps real penises couldn't satisfy her needs, forcing her to rely on these substitutes? 　　Several unofficial histories of the Northern Wei Dynasty record Empress Dowager Hu's private affairs. She suffered from mysophobia, disliking men's touch and especially unwilling to let men ejaculate inside her or on her body. Yet, she loved men's penises. She ordered countless strong young men to be selected from various regions, and those with particularly large or unusual penises were cut off and preserved by skilled craftsmen, called " handles," which she used to amuse herself with some of her favorite palace maids, day and night. She also enjoyed watching and playing with women's vulvas. Besides young and beautiful women, those with less attractive appearances but beautiful vulvas were cut off and made into glass dolls. Historical records state that she had hundreds or thousands of male lovers, but this is inaccurate. Her true pleasure lay in using male genitalia for sexual intercourse with women. If a penis failed to satisfy her, it was immediately discarded. Therefore, skilled artisans in the palace had to constantly search for and create new "handles" for Empress Dowager Hu to choose from. In addition, some penises were accidentally damaged during the manufacturing process. Over a period of ten years, tens of thousands of young men conscripted from various regions had their penises removed, along with several thousand women. Fortunately, Empress Dowager Hu did not intentionally cause death and provided generous sums of gold and silver to ensure these men who contributed their family heirlooms were well-fed and clothed, or were selected as concubines in the palace. Of course, many tragically lost their lives , especially women who died after having their vaginas removed. 　　Yang Guo sighed for a while, then opened the drawers of the other wardrobes one by one. They contained only bathrobes and other intimate clothing, nothing special, and all were brand new. It seemed Empress Dowager Hu had never actually lived here. 　　He stepped out of the bedroom, over the screen and the throne, and heard the women laughing and joking on the east side . He slowly walked to the east side and saw that the door to the east wing was open. Looking inside, he saw that the women were preparing a meal . 　　As soon as Azi saw Yang Guo, she ran over like a gust of wind and tugged at his sleeve, saying with a grin, "Big brother , this is so much fun! This is such a big kitchen! Sister Long and everyone else are cooking!" 　　Yang Guo saw the women busily and excitedly preparing the food, so he took out the food that Azi, Chunlan, and the other two women had brought and rearranged it to cook. The table was already full. 　　The east wing was indeed a kitchen, complete with cooking utensils, bowls, chopsticks, cups, plates, charcoal, and a smoke exhaust pipe. 　　Little Dragon Girl turned to Yang Guo and asked, "Guo'er, is the bathroom ready? Is there water? It has everything , except water." 　　Hearing this, Yang Guo quickly replied to the women, "The bathroom is ready to use, it's very comfortable." Chunlan and Qiuju immediately put down what they were doing, blushing as they hurriedly ran off, while the other women giggled. 　　Yang Guo noticed a copper cover similar to that of a bathroom sink, knowing it was the water inlet. He followed the same procedure, first clearing all the drain holes in the sink and on the floor, then letting water in. The women cheered, admiring Yang Guo immensely. Azi kissed Yang Guo and said, "Big brother, this place is so much fun, let's move here, okay ?" 　　Yang Guo, continuing to clear the exhaust vent, smiled and said, "It's nice, but don't you think it's stuffy here? After a few days, you won't want to stay anymore." 　　Azi thought about it, and realized that was true, after all, this was underground! Moreover, there wasn't much to do around Mangshan . She skipped and hopped for a while, then said, "Then we can come back whenever we want." 　　The women all agreed, and busied themselves fetching and boiling water—something they'd never done at home in Luoyang. 　　Yang Guo watched for a while, then said, "I'll go take a look around. You all take your time." 　　The women all sweetly agreed, not wanting Yang Guo to see their clumsy efforts. 　　As Yang Guo passed the bathhouse, he heard Chunlan and Qiuju laughing and joking inside, their door closed, sounding very happy. He couldn't help but smile slightly. 　　Next to the bathhouse was another door. Yang Guo thought this must be a study; Empress Dowager Hu was very busy, so she must have a study for handling important matters. Sure enough, when he pushed open the door, he found various scrolls and a huge desk piled high with writing implements. Yang Guo recalled Prince Yuan Diao's study. Apart from the ceramic items, everything else in the room, including the desk and chairs, had weathered and decayed. But here, everything seemed perfectly intact. Yuan Diao's study was also underground, but the latter was filled with a strong yang energy, while this place possessed a cold, yin energy, ideal for storing valuables. Therefore, everything was well-preserved. 　　He first touched the high-backed sandalwood chair behind the desk, finding it sturdy as ever. He brushed away the thin layer of dust and sat down in the chair. He examined the desk closely and noticed a stack of parchment books at hand. They looked very old , but were well-maintained. They must have been frequently read and cherished, as they were undamaged despite their age . There were no words on the cover, but when Yang Guo opened it, he saw that it was finely engraved with a knife, the engravings coated with black ink and then baked, so the color was bright. Although the characters were rough, each one was clear. The first sentence read: "The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady said: Measure the Taiyi and traverse the Nine Palaces, calculate the Yin of the Six Jia, control wind and lightning, command ghosts and gods, command all things, and transcend the past and present." Yang Guo was greatly surprised. What kind of book was this? He vaguely remembered an open bamboo scroll on Yuan Diao's table in the Qinyang Prince's Mansion.

There were similar words, but the bamboo slips were badly weathered, so he dared not touch them then. Now, as he carefully perused
the book, he realized it was the Qi-refining technique Princess Dai had mentioned, and it also touched upon the Five Elements, Nine Palaces, concealment, and talismans.
Every word was concise, but with Yang Guo's cultivation level, he could understand it at a glance and even apply it to other situations. He was somewhat surprised
. While the various cultivation methods recorded in the book were profound, apart from the Five Elements and Nine Palaces,
they were impossible to practice without an extremely high foundation in martial arts. Moreover, once mastered, one would indeed be a terrestrial immortal, able to fly, escape, and summon wind and rain with ease
. He couldn't help but wonder if Empress Dowager Hu or her brother, Master Hu, had already mastered them; otherwise, how could they have been
killed by Erzhu Rong? Was Erzhu Rong's cultivation level higher than theirs? But that seemed unlikely. Alternatively, perhaps Empress
Dowager Hu and Master Hu hadn't actually practiced the various techniques recorded in the book.

Yang Guo sat down at the table and began to study the thick parchment book again. He
compared the martial arts sections with his own knowledge, but he had little interest in the sections on concealment and talismans, so he temporarily skipped them. After careful study
, he discovered that while the martial arts described in the book were profound, they had a major flaw. Aside from forcing practitioners to exhaust their vital energy through rapid training
, there were no methods to replenish it. This meant that after practicing for a period of time, while practitioners
appeared to have made great progress, they were actually exhausted. A strong backlash or overexertion could lead to a sudden and fatal
death, both body and soul. Could it be that Empress Dowager Hu and Master Hu had both died suddenly from a strong backlash when encountering a powerful enemy
? He shook his head and sighed softly. This was highly possible, and perhaps it was fate.

Yang Guo carefully examined the study again, discovering that the other items were
scrolls, memorials, and manuscripts from Empress Dowager Hu's handling of state affairs. He thought to himself that these things would be priceless treasures if they fell into the hands of historians
.

He then searched the underground palace again. The other rooms were bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens
, and dining rooms for the servants, and many other rooms were filled with weapons and daily necessities. There was nothing else of interest. He was puzzled
. He had sensed that there were many other treasures in this palace, but apart from the pile of gold bricks he found in the bedroom, he
had seen nothing else. Wasn't that strange? A thought struck him, and he silently used his mind-reading technique to probe around. He then realized that the gold and silver were
hidden inside the thick palace walls, covering a very large area, which increased the weight of the underground palace and caused
its collapse.

Yang Guo sighed softly, lingering in the main hall with his hands behind his back. He noticed a fragrant aroma wafting from the kitchen where the women were busy,
including the rich scent of wine. He was somewhat surprised; had Chunlan and the others brought wine? He couldn't resist following the fragrance
.

They had spent two days in the underground palace, indulging in unparalleled pleasure and joy. However, their
food supplies ran out, and they had to reluctantly depart. Unfortunately, Chunlan and Qiuju, still menstruating
, could only watch helplessly. Amidst their delight, the women didn't forget to coax them to come again next time.
