Chapter 601
Bai Fanghua and Han Xing were enjoying their intimacy when she discovered that her seductive skills, which had reached a bottleneck, had unknowingly broken through, and were bursting with immense vitality, leaving her feeling incredulous.
You see, her seductive skills had reached a bottleneck two years ago, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break through. Unexpectedly, after Han Xing took her virginity, even the bottleneck was broken. Moreover, it was bursting with such immense vitality; if she could cultivate quietly for a period of time, her skills would surely make a great breakthrough.
However, this provided even stronger evidence that Han Xing was the person she was looking for. Coupled with the feeling she suddenly received from Han Xing in the darkness during the banquet, which made her uncontrollably reach that level, it was almost certain that Han Xing was the person she was looking for.
Bai Fanghua felt Han Xing's gentle caresses while carefully observing him, finding his handsome face and strong body incredibly attractive. She thought to herself that if he really was the one she was looking for, it wouldn't be so bad. Giving her body, even her life and soul, to such a man didn't seem so unacceptable. However, in front of her fellow disciples and master, she had always expressed disdain for that so-called Dharma King. If she were so easily conquered, wouldn't they laugh at her? Sigh, she really hoped Han Xing wasn't that Dharma King; that would be much more exciting and interesting.
Seeing her thoughtful expression, Han Xing couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
His hands didn't stop moving, and he even kissed her cheek a few times.
These teasing actions didn't contain any lustful intent; they were simply expressions of satisfaction and tender intimacy after the climax.
Bai Fanghua grasped Han Xing's large hand, which was roaming over her body, and gently played with it. She didn't directly answer Han Xing's question: "Your hands aren't too rough, but compared to a woman's hands, they're still a bit rough."
Han Xing chuckled and said irritably, "What would a man like me need such delicate hands for? I certainly wouldn't compare my hands with a woman's to see who has the smoothest hands."
Bai Fanghua smiled and said, "I always thought that being caressed by a man's rough hands must feel terrible, but I never imagined that the feeling would be so wonderful."
As she spoke, she brought Han Xing's hand to her mouth and licked it with her bright red and alluring tongue.
Han Xing felt a dampness on his fingers and couldn't help but exclaim, "This girl is really seductive."
He then flipped his hand away from Bai Fanghua's slender grasp, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her passionately until Bai Fanghua seemed breathless. Only then did he release her and say, "By the way, can you answer my questions now?"
Bai Fanghua pretended not to know and said, "What do you want to ask?"
Han Xing chuckled and said, "You don't know? Fine, first of all, what I want to know most is why you slept with me so easily. Although I consider myself somewhat charming, I'm not confident enough to make someone throw themselves at me so easily. If you were the kind of woman who would sleep with any man casually, that would be one thing, but you're still a virgin."
This question had indeed puzzled Han Xing for a long time. At first, he thought Bai Fanghua would plot against him, but it turned out there were no experts lying in wait, and even when they slept together, she hadn't done anything shady. Of course, a breakthrough in her cultivation level was also a reason for her, but how could she know that sleeping with Han Xing would improve her cultivation level, and give away her virginity that she had preserved for many years without any reliable information? Han Xing simply couldn't believe such a thing could happen. Therefore, Han Xing concluded that the breakthrough in her cultivation level was just an unexpected surprise for Bai Fanghua.
Bai Fanghua didn't answer Han Xing's question, but instead glared at him and said with a slight reproach, "You're really dishonest. What you really want to know is why I'm still a virgin, right? I remember clearly the stunned look on your face when you saw me bleeding from my lower body."
Han Xing chuckled and didn't deny it: "I do want to know that too. After all, even if you're usually alluring and seductive, it wouldn't be difficult for you to fake it. But those reactions in bed, and those mature erogenous zones of yours, aren't things you can't tell from a virgin's actions." "A woman should have that."
Bai Fanghua pondered, "I can tell you, but you have to promise me that you won't dislike me no matter what."
Han Xing frowned, "Why do you look like that... Sigh, if you don't tell me, I can't judge."
Bai Fanghua gave him a resentful look and said, "Can't you just promise me first? Don't you guys like to just coax a woman without thinking twice?"
Han Xing said with difficulty, "It's not that I don't know how to coax women, but the way you're so serious makes it seem like there's something unacceptable about it. You..." "Your cautiousness makes me hesitant to make any promises. If you're truly in such a difficult position, I can let it go and simply treat you as a pure and beautiful woman to be loved."
Bai Fanghua sighed and said, "Your words only make me feel unable to hide it from you and accept your love. Fine, if you truly cannot accept it and distance yourself from Fanghua, then Fanghua will simply end it all."
From the moment Bai Fanghua revealed that cautious expression, Han Xing used all his spiritual senses from the Demon Seed to probe her true state of mind, discovering that her heart was indeed very tense and not feigning it. Seeing how serious she sounded, he really didn't want her to say it, but he desperately wanted to know the reason, so he comforted himself, saying, "It's okay. Even if she really let other men touch her, as long as she promises me that she'll only have me from now on, I can still love her. Isn't that what Hua Jieyu did? At least she did leave her virginity to me."
Bai Fanghua sighed and said, "Actually, the reason Fanghua has so much bedroom experience even though she's a virgin is because Fanghua often gets intimate with women." "
Huh?"
Han Xing was stunned and said, "That's it?"
Bai Fanghua nodded and said, "That's it."
Han Xing asked again, "Did you sleep with any men, except for not going all the way to the end, the rest..."
This was exactly what he was worried about. Even if they didn't go all the way to the end, the kissing and cuddling in bed would still make him feel very uncomfortable.
Bai Fanghua hurriedly shook her head and said, "How could that be? You're the first man to touch Fanghua's body. How come you don't seem to mind at all?"
Han Xing chuckled and said, "It's not 'seems,' it's 'I really don't mind at all,' as long as you don't mess around with other men, I won't mind."
Bai Fanghua asked in surprise, "But I know many men can't accept this... And even if I'm like this with you now, I might still be unable to resist being intimate with other women later, and you won't mind then?"
Han Xing laughed and said, "I really won't mind. To be honest, when you want to be intimate with other women, I'd like to broaden my horizons too."
Suddenly, he hugged Bai Fanghua, then flipped her over and made her sit on his lower abdomen. While admiring her beautiful body, he said, "Your skin is as white as ivory, it's so beautiful. Do you know what can make a man's heart flutter more than a woman as beautiful as you?"
Bai Fanghua didn't understand why Han Xing suddenly said this and asked, "What is it? Oh, an even more beautiful woman?"
Han Xing shook his head and said, "No, it's two beautiful women like you. One beautiful woman's naked body is enough to excite a man, but if two of them are rolling around on the same bed at the same time, that's enough to excite a man, so you don't need to worry about it at all. Hehe... If possible, it would be even better if you could let me join in."
Bai Fanghua thought for a moment and said, "With your charm, I believe my girlfriends won't mind, but for some reason, I suddenly really dislike you being intimate with other women."
Han Xing laughed and said, "That's because you've fallen for me, of course you won't like me being intimate with other women. However, I don't mind you being intimate with other women, and you can't stop me from being intimate with other women."
Bai Fanghua rolled her eyes at him and said, "Your suggestion seems quite fair, but in reality, it just lets you take advantage of me." "Fine, anyway, I never thought I could make you love only me."
Han Xing chuckled and said, "It's good that you know, haha, you're actually worried about that kind of thing, it's really cute. But now I'm more curious, how can a woman like you, who loves women but is afraid of men like a tiger, let me get you so easily? Don't talk about love at first sight, you can fall in love at first sight, but you won't go to bed with me so quickly."
Bai Fanghua: "This... Oh!"
She suddenly felt a heat on her buttocks, Han Xing's previously limp penis was now erect again, pressing firmly against her buttocks.
Han Xing chuckled and said, "You felt it too, hurry up and answer me, I can't help but want to eat you again."
His hands were already impatiently grabbing her breasts.
Bai Fanghua glared at him reproachfully, then groaned, "Don't be so rough... Can't a person even talk about this, um..."
Han Xing chuckled and released her testicles. Only then did Bai Fanghua say, "Fanghua doesn't know how to explain this to you."
Han Xing said displeasedly, "What kind of answer is that?"
He grabbed Bai Fanghua's waist with both hands, lifted her up, and then aimed his already erect penis at the cave hidden deep in the dark forest.
Bai Fanghua exclaimed in panic, "What are you doing?... Ah!..."
"This is your punishment. Heh, I didn't expect you to be so wet. Oh! So comfortable..."
The sensitive penis was held by the tight, soft little hole, making Han Xing groan with pleasure.
Han Xing said again, "Hurry up and tell me, I won't move if you don't."
Bai Fanghua was amused and annoyed, thinking, "You clearly want it too, but you're using it to blackmail me. Why should I give in first?"
However, Han Xing was experienced in the union of men and women, while Bai Fanghua was a novice in this area. So in the end, Bai Fanghua couldn't take it anymore and surrendered, saying, "Fanghua really can't tell the envoy, but Fanghua can swear that Fanghua absolutely didn't mean to harm you. Oh, hurry up and move... I can't take it anymore..."
Seeing that she was sincere, Han Xing knew he couldn't get anything out of her, so he said, "I'll consider you safe. But since you still haven't answered my question, don't blame me for stalling for time."
He flipped over and pinned Bai Fanghua down, then withdrew from her body.
Just as Bai Fanghua was about to complain coquettishly, Han Xing sealed her lips with his, his hands constantly caressing her sensitive spots. In fact, Han Xing always valued foreplay and never liked to rush into having sex with a woman. This was not only because he wanted to give his woman a more wonderful experience, but also because he wanted to satisfy his physical desires.
The first time he had sex with Bai Fanghua, Han Xing already felt it was a bit too hasty, and now he wouldn't just eat her up easily. He wouldn't stop until he had kissed and touched every inch of Bai Fanghua.
Bai Fanghua felt her lover's passionate teasing, and naturally didn't harbor any resentment towards Han Xing for suddenly withdrawing after entering her. Instead, she responded passionately to Han Xing's actions, occasionally letting out an extremely seductive moan, which greatly aroused Han Xing.
Chapter 602
The next morning, Han Xing, radiant, stepped out of the room with Bai Fanghua.
The maids and servants were all shocked to see Han Xing, and seeing Bai Fanghua's spring-like eyes, flushed cheeks, and beauty more radiant than peach blossoms, coupled with her joyful expression, how could they not know what had happened between the two? The servants were puzzled as to why Han Xing, the Korean envoy, had suddenly appeared in the room.
Han Xing's attention was mostly focused on Bai Fanghua, and he had no time to pay attention to the servants. However, he inadvertently noticed Bai Fanghua's three charming and lovely personal maids. A thought struck him, and he whispered with a smile in Bai Fanghua's ear, "Aren't those three girls the ones you've been jokingly implying?"
Bai Fanghua blushed, then remembered that Han Xing not only didn't mind, but actually quite enjoyed it, so she jokingly replied, "Yes, do you want to have them for you to play with?"
Hearing this, Han Xing couldn't help but scrutinize the three women again. The three beautiful maids were about 14 or 15 years old. Their looks were only slightly above average, far inferior to Bai Fanghua's, but their obedient and docile demeanor could certainly arouse a man's affection. Besides, Han Xing already had quite a few extremely beautiful women, which had caused him some aesthetic fatigue; a change of pace would be refreshing.
"Even dragon meat gets boring after a while. Some vegetables would be nice at times like this,"
Han Xing thought to himself.
However, despite being very tempted by Bai Fanghua's suggestion, Han Xing knew that agreeing without thinking would definitely displease her. So he said, "Never mind. If I take them, who will serve you? Besides, sometimes when I'm not around, you might have needs, and you'll need them then, right?" Bai Fanghua,
always observant, noticed Han Xing's interest and sighed inwardly, "This man is perfect in every way—handsome, strong, and... his manner is witty and humorous. A life with such a man would never be boring, except he's too amorous and lustful. Oh well, these three girls are like that with me anyway. Han Xing certainly won't shy away from them when he's intimate with me. With Han Xing's methods, if he wanted to..." It was only a matter of time before Han Xing got his hands on those three.
So she said, "Who said I was going to give them to you? I'm just lending them to you for a few days. You'll have to return them after you've had your fill."
Han Xing was even more tempted, but still said, "Forced love is never sweet. Even if they really submit to your lewd power and serve me, it's pointless to force them like this."
Bai Fanghua smiled and said, "Then ask them."
She then withdrew from the room, leaving only the three pretty maids, and asked, "Are you three willing to serve the envoy for a few days? You can return to my side after you arrive in the capital with the envoy."
The three pretty maids, of course, understood what 'serve' meant. Hearing this, their faces flushed, and they secretly sized up Han Xing. He was handsome and elegant, with a refined air, a face like jade, eyes like stars, eyebrows like swords, and a nose like a hanging gall—a truly exceptionally handsome man. They couldn't help but be quite satisfied with Han Xing's appearance. Although they enjoyed the pretense of a romantic relationship with Bai Fanghua, they weren't actually women who disliked men; they also liked handsome men.
The three women also remembered Bai Fanghua's high praise for Han Xing's martial arts skills and his humorous and witty manner. Even their own high-minded mistress, who disregarded men, was captivated by him. How could they not be willing? Even if it was only temporary, as long as Bai Fanghua continued her relationship with Han Xing, they would eventually return to his side.
The three pretty maids exchanged glances for a moment, then all nodded, saying, "We will obey your orders, Miss."
Bai Fanghua glanced at Han Xing, her beautiful eyes clearly conveying the message: it's now up to you.
Han Xing thought for a moment and said, "I think it's better not to..."
Before Han Xing could finish speaking, the three pretty maids simultaneously let out an "Ah!", revealing extremely disappointed and resentful expressions.
Seeing their reaction, Han Xing couldn't help but feel both smug and amused, saying, "You don't need to be so disappointed. It's just that I might not have time to enjoy your service these days, so let's wait until next time. If I have the chance next time, I'll definitely try your methods of serving people."
The three pretty maids' worries turned to joy, and hearing Han Xing's explicit words, they were even more embarrassed and delighted.
Bai Fanghua snorted in dissatisfaction, and after Han Xing said a few apologetic words, she had someone arrange a carriage to send Han Xing away.
Han Xing led Bai Fanghua and the three maids to the entrance of the mansion, saying with a puzzled look, "I can go back by myself, why do I need a carriage? Are you worried I'll be attacked while I'm injured? Don't worry, you've already healed my injuries."
Bai Fanghua rolled her eyes at him and said quietly, "You really don't want me to see you off a little longer?"
Han Xing then realized what she meant, helped her into the carriage before getting in, and the three pretty maids followed.
The carriage drove off.
Han Xing suddenly remembered the ginseng and asked, "Should I get you a ginseng later? Hey, you've done what you promised me several times last night, I can't go back on my word."
Bai Fanghua blushed, glared at him, and whispered in a voice only Han Xing could hear, "No need, Fanghua just wanted to test if you're the real envoy."
Han Xing was startled and asked in a low voice, "Did you find out?"
Bai Fanghua said, "Whether you're real or fake doesn't matter anymore. As long as we know you're with Chen Lingfang and against Leng Yan, that's enough."
Han Xing asked in surprise, "Which side of yours is at odds with Leng Yan?"
Bai Fanghua smiled and said, "You'll find out sooner or later."
Han Xing thought to himself that with the power of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, it wasn't surprising that they had already realized Leng Yan was Fang Yeyu's man. The two sides might have some collusion, but their purposes were completely different. The Heavenly Mandate Sect wanted to install Zhu Yunwen on the throne and then use him to control the court, while Fang Yeyu wanted to re-establish the Mongol Dynasty. Their interests were irreconcilable, so it wasn't surprising that they would oppose each other.
Han Xing then asked, "So you really don't need the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng anymore?"
Bai Fanghua giggled, "If you don't mind, it wouldn't hurt to give me one. Fanghua would naturally not refuse. I like it when you give me things."
Han Xing secretly thought that since the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng he had withheld belonged to Fan Liangji, it wouldn't matter if he asked for one in Fanghua's name. The item would eventually be mine anyway, even though he had the Demon Seed and didn't need it. Keeping one just in case wouldn't hurt, or at worst, he could sell it.
Thinking of this, Han Xing stopped dwelling on those questions and began teasing Bai Fanghua: "You like me giving you things? Then I'll give you some more."
Bai Fanghua noticed his strange smile and knew it wasn't for anything good, but still asked curiously, "What do you want to give me?"
Han Xing chuckled mischievously, "I already gave you a lot of those things last night, but I don't know if you wanted them, so I want to give you some of my offspring."
Bai Fanghua blushed and retorted, "I knew you wouldn't do anything good."
Han Xing chuckled and teased her a few more times before sealing her lips with his own. His hands began to roam over Bai Fanghua's body, completely ignoring the three pretty maids watching nearby.
Bai Fanghua was initially a little hesitant about the three pretty maids, but after being teased by Han Xing, she couldn't help but respond passionately.
The three pretty maids, seeing them behaving so brazenly in front of them, felt both ashamed and delighted. They knew that Han Xing's disregard for their presence and his flirting with Bai Fanghua meant he was determined not to treat them as outsiders.
When the carriage arrived at the dock, Bai Fanghua was panting heavily, her hair disheveled, her clothes in disarray, and her upper garments almost completely removed, hanging only on her arms. The three pretty maids blushed crimson at the sight.
Han Xing buried his face in her breasts, grabbing one in each hand, occasionally putting them in his mouth, either licking or gently biting them, until the driver knocked on the door, at which point he struggled free.
Bai Fanghua hurriedly grabbed her clothes to cover her exposed chest, glared at Han Xing, and said to the three pretty maids, "You all see the envoy off the carriage; I won't get off."
She didn't want anyone to see her disheveled appearance.
Han Xing also straightened his clothes before getting off the carriage with the three pretty maids, then pulled them aside from the pedestrians and asked, "Are the three of you still virgins?"
"Ah!"
The three pretty maids were taken aback by the envoy's sudden question, and the blush that had just faded returned to their cheeks.
Han Xing, with a stern face, said, "What 'ah'? I'm asking you questions, answer me quickly."
The three pretty maids hurriedly nodded and said, "We are still..."
Han Xing said "Oh," and said with satisfaction, "It seems Fanghua still has some sense of propriety and hasn't ruined your chastity."
The three pretty maids turned pale, and one of the bolder ones asked cautiously, "Does the envoy know about our affair with Miss?"
Han Xing laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? I am the one who slept with your Miss, and I will be the one who sleeps with you. It's only a matter of time before I find out about your affair. Actually, you can rest assured, I personally don't dislike this kind of thing at all. Just remember, no matter how you play, don't ruin it. When I get to the capital, I will take all three of your virginity, okay?"
The three pretty maids nodded with blushing faces, and Han Xing said with satisfaction, "Alright, you can go back now." He
waved to Bai Fanghua, who was looking at him through the carriage curtain, before turning back to the official ship.
Bai Fanghua watched Han Xing's retreating figure with a sense of loss, secretly thinking that she had only slept with him so easily last night to spite her master, but now she actually found herself somewhat dependent on him.
Han Xing returned to the ship.
Fan Liangji, seeing his swaggering gait, radiant face, and smug expression, knew that he must have thoroughly slept with Bai Fanghua. He chuckled, "How about it? Judging from your expression, you must have already slept with Bai Fanghua, right?"
Han Xing chuckled, "Not only did I sleep with her, but I slept with her several times. If I hadn't taken pity on her, she still wouldn't be able to get out of bed."
Chen Lingfang said enviously, "Brother, you're much better at dealing with women than I am. Even in my prime, I still didn't have your skills or your good fortune."
Fan Liangji said, "Then how about our bet? Who wins and who loses?"
He looked confident, clearly believing he had won. Han Xing laughed, "Don't look so confident
, Fan Laogui. Let me tell you, I won." Fan Liangji looked unconvinced and said, "What? Impossible! Are you lying to win?" Han Xing said, "Fanghua does have extensive experience in bed, but she is also a genuine virgin. Look at this bloodstain; it's from when I took her virginity." Chen Lingfang asked in surprise, "If she has extensive experience in bed, how can she be a virgin?" Han Xing chuckled, "Let me tell you, Fanghua's experience in bed was all from faking it with her maids. Oh, you mustn't leak this out, or she'll be furious with me." Fan Liangji was astonished, "How come Bai Fanghua is this kind of person too?" Chapter 603 "Besides her, who else is this kind of person?" Han Xing and Chen Lingfang asked in unison.

Fan Liangji lied, "I only saw him a few times when I was stealing things before."
Chen Lingfang said "Oh" and didn't press the matter further. Han Xing knew that Fan Liangji probably knew about Ying Sanhua and Xiuse, which was why he said that, but he was too lazy to investigate. Instead, he said, "Now that I've won, can I leave for a while and go find Zixian and the others?"
Before Fan Liangji could speak, Chen Lingfang hurriedly said, "You can't leave again, Special Envoy. Before Xie Tingshi was gone, we could barely manage, but now that Xie Tingshi has moved in, how are we going to deal with him without you?"
Fan Liangji thought for a moment and said, "Brother Chen is right. Without you, we really can't deal with Xie Tingshi. This matter... I broke my promise. Whatever you ask for, as long as it's not excessive, I'll agree to it. Even if you want me to give you a secret treasure, that's fine too." He
looked pained, after all, he only had thirty-six secret treasures, and he had already used one to bribe those corrupt officials.
Han Xing scoffed, "I don't care about your so-called secret treasure. I have plenty of ways to make money. Besides, money is just an external thing. We heroes of the martial world don't care about it. Only a lowly thief like you would care so much."
Fan Liangji was speechless, and angrily said, "So you're determined to leave and abandon our grand plan?"
Han Xing smiled and said, "I am determined to leave, but I don't mean to abandon our plan."
Fan Liangji was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Han Xing chuckled and said, "What you're worried about is Xie Tingshi. You can rest assured, I have a way to deal with him." "Hmph, if it weren't for helping you deal with him and explaining things to my lovely wives, I would have left already. Why would I need to come back and waste time with you?"
Chen Lingfang said, "How does the Special Envoy plan to deal with Xie Tingshi? He's a high-ranking official, and so many people already know he's here. We can't just kill him off with a single blow."
Han Xing spat repeatedly, "Do you really think I'm the kind of reckless man who'd resort to violence at the drop of a hat? Don't worry, my method is absolutely foolproof. Hmm, call Fan Bao over. I need him for my plan."
"Fan Bao?"
Fan Liangji and Chen Lingfang said in unison, completely unsure what Fan Bao could possibly do to help them.
Han Xing didn't bother with them. He found Fan Bao himself and took him to see Xie Tingshi. The two came out more than ten minutes later. Fan Bao was utterly shocked, while Han Xing confidently told Fan Liangji and Chen Lingfang, "Alright, Xie Tingshi is now under my spell, mistaking Fan Bao for me."
Fan Liangji and Chen Lingfang exclaimed in unison, "What?"
Han Xing didn't bother to explain further, "Just remember, after I leave, Fan Bao should keep a low profile as much as possible. If Xie Tingshi wants to see me, let Fan Bao handle it. Remember, don't let anyone else see Fan Bao disguised as the envoy, or you'll be exposed. Anyway, with your intelligence, as long as there's no problem with Xie Tingshi, I believe you can handle the rest."
He paused and added, "Okay, I'm going to change my clothes, say goodbye to my wives, and then leave. Don't worry, with my current abilities, I can get back quickly even if something happens."
He was so confident because he had a motorcycle much faster than a swift horse.
Fan Liangji called out to Han Xing, who was about to return to his room, "Hey! Didn't you not receive any news from the Dual Cultivation Manor? Then where are you going to find them?"
Han Xing smiled and said, "I'm going to Changsha Prefecture to find Qi Changzheng."
Everyone was taken aback and asked, "What do you want with Qi Changzheng?"
Han Xing chuckled without explaining, in fact, he couldn't explain it either. The reason he wanted to find Qi Changzheng was because he remembered that in the original story, during the rather tragic battle on the Flower Street, Feng Xinglie led the Dual Cultivation Manor to cooperate with Qi Changzheng. How they ended up joining forces was something Han Xing couldn't remember, and it no longer mattered. After all, the plot had changed so much, and whether the battle on the Flower Street would still happen was unknown.
So Han Xing was just trying his luck to see if the Dual Cultivation Manor would, like in the original story, join forces with Qi Changzheng to deal with Fang Yeyu's allied forces.
He couldn't receive any intelligence from the Dual Cultivation Manor, but Qi Changzheng had been quite active lately, with rumors circulating in the martial arts world of him fighting with Fang Yeyu's men. The most recent rumor was that he had a fierce battle with Ying Fei near Changsha Prefecture. It's said that both he and Ying Fei were slightly injured. Ying Fei, backed by Fang Yeyu's power, could recuperate peacefully, while Qi Changzheng, desperate and without options, encountered Han Bicui of the Danqing Sect, who helped him go into hiding.
Han Xing had met Han Bicui once before and was extremely attracted to her beauty. He also knew that Qi Changzheng was quite adept with women; in fact, in the original story, Han Bicui was ultimately seduced by Qi Changzheng. Therefore, Han Xing didn't want to see Qi Changzheng and Han Bicui grow closer. If they really got together, it would be a lifelong regret for Han Xing.
So, besides using Qi Changzheng to find the Shuangxiu Mansion, he also wanted to find Han Bicui to rekindle their past relationship.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Changsha Prefecture.
As dusk settled,
Qi Changzheng left the grand mansion of the Danqing Sect and stepped onto the long street. Looking around, he couldn't help but admire the bustling scene. At Han Bicui's suggestion, she had used the "Danqing Magic" on his face, thickening his eyebrows and adding a tuft of mustache, instantly transforming him into a completely different person. One couldn't help but admire Han Bicui's transformative skills.
The street was crowded with people and vehicles, and under the lights, it resembled a city without night.
Following the crowd, he soon arrived at the most prosperous and bustling Changsha Avenue, also the most famous red-light district.
Brothels lined both sides, and the sounds of stringed instruments, music, and gambling could be faintly heard.
Qi Changzheng's spirits lifted, and in high spirits, he headed towards the largest brothel. He thought to himself that since he was going to cause a ruckus anyway, he might as well indulge in some revelry first, then find a couple of local gangs that opposed the Angry Dragon Gang and teach them a lesson, so that his life wouldn't have been in vain.
Qi Changzheng strode up the long steps and swaggered into the brothel. A still-attractive middle-aged woman greeted him with a smile. Before she could speak, Qi Changzheng brazenly pulled open her clothes, greedily peeked inside, and stuffed a tael of silver into her breast pocket. "Who's the most popular madam here? Don't lie to me, or you'll regret it!"
The madam looked down and saw that it was a real silver tael. She thought to herself that this man was indeed generous. The slight unpleasant feeling of being taken advantage of immediately disappeared. Besides, the man was strong and had the air of a gangster between his brows. She dared not make a scene. She quickly moved closer, put her jade hand on his shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "Of course it's our Miss Hongxiu. But you know..." Qi Changzheng
interrupted her impatiently and said decisively, "No need for further words. She'll be keeping me company tonight. Find me a superior room first, and then call her to serve drinks and sing." The madam was shocked and said,
"Hongxiu has always sold her art, not her body. Even if she's just singing a little song, she's not so easy to keep someone company. You..."
In her shock, she forgot to straighten her chest, and the silver tael immediately slid down to her waist and abdomen, making her extremely embarrassed.
Qi Changzheng laughed and said, "Just because she doesn't sell herself doesn't mean she won't sleep with me. Don't worry, as long as you let me see her, I guarantee she'll willingly sleep with me."
The madam looked troubled and said, "The big boss of the Changsha gang has always liked Hongxiu. Today, he finally couldn't resist using the power of the Changsha gang to force Hongxiu to accompany him to the Jixiang Gambling House. She might not be coming back tonight..."
Qi Changzheng snorted coldly, thinking to himself, "What a coincidence! I'm given a chance to be a hero and save a damsel in distress. The Changsha gang must be having a run of bad luck. Fine! I'll take this opportunity to get back at them and snatch Hongxiu back. She's mine tonight. "
He immediately asked for directions to the casino, found out the style and color of Hongxiu's clothes, and strode off.
The madam, realizing something was wrong, hurriedly sent someone to take a shortcut to inform the Changsha gang's big boss, "Evil Snake" Sha Yuan, so she wouldn't be held responsible if anything happened.
Qi Changzheng strolled leisurely through the night market, admiring the bustling scene around him with an air of nonchalance.
He deliberately walked with the demeanor of a domineering young master, scaring passersby into giving way. Even if they bumped into him, they dared not retaliate.
At this moment, his thoughts were on Han Bicui. Among all the beauties he had encountered, besides Jin Bingyun and Qin Mengyao, she was the most beautiful. Chu Suqiu and Zuo Shi were inferior to her. It was a pity that she was determined not to marry, which was extremely regrettable. If it were just a vow not to marry, that would be fine. As long as he could win her heart, he wouldn't have to worry about her breaking her vow and marrying someone else. But she had already met Han Xing once, and she always subtly asked him about Han Xing, clearly already having fallen for him. As for Han Xing's thoughts, Qi Changzheng didn't need to think to know that he was definitely very interested in Han Bicui.
Therefore, he couldn't make a move on Han Bicui anymore, because that would be stealing someone else's love. If it were an ordinary person, they could just take her away, after all, she wasn't married yet, and no one could say anything about it. But now Han Bicui is a friend's wife. Well, although calling her a "friend's wife" is a bit premature, Qi Changzheng is a man of great loyalty. He will absolutely abide by the rule of the underworld: one should not deceive a friend's wife (or a "potential" friend's wife).
"Sigh, that kid Han Xing, he used to refuse to go to a brothel, how come he's suddenly so good with women lately? A woman who swore she would never marry has been charmed by him."
Thinking of this frustration, Qi Changzheng cursed himself inwardly. Since the battle of Dongting Lake, he hadn't touched a woman. Now, thinking about the upcoming decisive battle with Ying Fei, he couldn't help but think about finding a woman to have some fun before such a low-stakes battle.
At this moment, he turned into another wide side street, lined with various shops and brothels, especially restaurants, which were bustling with people.
The gilded sign of "Jixiang Gambling House" stretched out high in front, very eye-catching.
Qi Changzheng walked quickly towards it.
Not long after Qi Changzheng left the brothel, a strangely shaped yet aesthetically pleasing black motorcycle drove into the Changsha night market. The driver was none other than Han Xing.
It must be said that Tifa's speed was indeed impressive, although the road conditions limited its performance to half its potential. Han Xing had only said goodbye to his wives that morning and arrived in Changsha that evening.
With Tifa's excellent mobility, Han Xing could easily and quickly reach various battlefields. Combined with Han Xing's own powerful combat abilities and recovery capabilities, this would be a far more troublesome enemy for Fang Yeyu's side than Lang Fanyun.
Chapter 604
Ignoring the pointing fingers and the stares from passersby who looked at him like a monster, Han Xing was used to the astonishment he had caused among traveling merchants and martial artists on his journey. So he simply stopped the motorcycle and began to consider Qi Changzheng's situation.
The first thing Han Xing didn't understand was why Ying Fei had attacked Qi Changzheng. In the original story, Qi Changzheng seduced Ying Fei's ex-girlfriend, Shui Roujing, and Ying Fei, out of jealousy and hatred, sought revenge against him. But now that he's seduced Shui Roujing, there shouldn't be any particular reason for him to target Qi Changzheng. Of course, their positions are inherently opposed, so a clash wouldn't be surprising.
"Could it be that he knows he can't beat me, so he's taking his anger out on others?"
Han Xing thought of a reason that seemed far-fetched, but it was actually quite plausible. After losing to Han Xing once, Ying Fei, despite his intense hatred for Han Xing, knew he couldn't win. Therefore, his hatred automatically shifted to others, and the best target was naturally Han Xing's women. Unfortunately, those he could find were already working undercover as envoys for Han Xing, and he didn't know anything about others like the three Han sisters, so he could only vent his anger haphazardly.
The reason he targeted Qi Changzheng was actually just a coincidence. Ying Fei was a lecherous man, and after being injured by Han Xing, he frequently engaged in promiscuous behavior to vent his frustration and heal his wounds. Qi Changzheng wasn't exactly known for his womanizing, but he also deeply abhorred and hated those who harassed women. Upon hearing rumors about Ying Fei, he immediately sought him out for a fight.
Ying Fei, in turn, harbored resentment towards Qi Changzheng. Firstly, Qi Changzheng had interrupted his plans; secondly, he was a friend of Han Xing, and killing him would be another blow to Han Xing. Most importantly, Qi Changzheng was a formidable opponent, but not quite as strong as Ying Fei.
Given Ying Fei's fearless nature, such a threatening yet equally formidable opponent was perfect for restoring the confidence he had lost with Han Xing. However, because Ying Fei always sought to toy with Qi Changzheng, venting his frustrations from the Central Plains, he was repeatedly outmaneuvered by Qi Changzheng's fearless and valiant fighting spirit. Qi Changzheng, fueled by this fighting, cultivated a formidable foe, deepening Ying Fei's hatred for Qi Changzheng and leading to the current situation.
Unable to understand why Ying Fei had approached Qi Changzheng, Han Xing stopped thinking about it and instead considered what Qi Changzheng would do next. The underworld disciples of Mo Yixian's Xiaoyao Sect, Wei Lidie's Wan'e Manor, Mao Baiyi's old followers from Shancheng, and Bu Di's Zunxin Sect—all affiliated with Fang Yeyu—were already gathering in Changsha. It seemed they could surround Changsha in a day or two. It appeared Ying Fei no longer wanted to play cat and mouse with Qi Changzheng and was going for a decisive battle.
"Faced with such a great battle, what will that old Qi do? With his fearless nature, he certainly won't cower and hide. However, before such a deadly battle, he'll probably want to find a woman to have some fun with first. That kid dared to go to brothels when he was only 12 or 13, so it goes without saying that he'll run off to find the most popular brothel."
Thinking of this, Han Xing grabbed a passerby and asked fiercely, "Where's the biggest brothel around here, and who's the most popular brothel?"
Seeing him sitting on such a strange object, the passerby knew he wasn't an ordinary person, and seeing his fierce appearance, he dared not disobey, so he immediately told Han Xing everything he knew.
"Hongxiu? Alright, you can go now."
Following the passerby's directions, Han Xing soon arrived at the most prosperous and bustling Changsha Avenue, also the most famous red-light district, and found the brothel where Hongxiu was staying.
Upon seeing Han Xing's handsome appearance and his completely different attitude towards Qi Changzheng, the madam approached him. "Oh dear, sir, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time at Zuihonglou?" "Alright,
alright, I'm not here to find a woman,"
Han Xing quickly interrupted, tossing her a silver ingot and asking, "Has any man come here recently?"
The madam took the silver, beaming. "We have so many men coming to Zuihonglou every day, how would I know which one you're talking about?"
Han Xing secretly thought that Qi Changzheng might be in disguise, but his physique shouldn't be too different. He then described Qi Changzheng's physical characteristics to the madam. "In short, that guy is a typical gangster, probably a first-time customer as well."
The madam saw so many men every day that she shouldn't remember them all, but Qi Changzheng had just left, and the impression he left on her was particularly deep, so she immediately remembered and told Han Xing what had happened.
Before long, Han Xing arrived at the "Lucky Gambling House." He composed himself, and despite the extreme noise, he could still clearly hear Qi Changzheng's voice.
Han Xing stopped the car and arrived at the main entrance of the gambling house. As he climbed the steps and was about to enter, two burly men in tight-fitting clothes stood side by side, blocking his way.
One of them shouted, "You look unfamiliar, give me your name!"
Han Xing thought to himself, "It's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings. Since I'm already here, I might as well make a grand entrance." Without even giving his name, he got back into his car and drove away.
The four burly men, seeing Han Xing run off without even saying his name, couldn't help but look down on him, thinking he was a coward, nothing compared to the last one who barged in.
Han Xing drove the car about a hundred paces away, turned it around, facing the main entrance, and twisted the handlebars sharply. With a loud "whoosh," the motorcycle roared towards the main entrance…
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Shortly before Han Xing arrived at the gambling den, Qi Changzheng also arrived at the main entrance and encountered four burly guards.
One of them shouted, "My friend, you look unfamiliar. State your name!"
The other glanced contemptuously at the Heavenly Soldier Sword on his back and sneered, "This sword looks worth a few strings of silver. Take it off as your entrance fee!"
Qi Changzheng, a seasoned江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world) veteran, was completely unaware of what was going on. He smiled slightly, and with lightning speed, his hands shot out, instantly gripping the throats of the two burly men in the center. With a swift lift, the two men were lifted off their feet as if weightless, utterly powerless to resist.
The two burly men on the outer perimeter roared angrily, about to attack, but Qi Changzheng kicked out with both feet, sending them flying and tumbling into the entrance.
Qi Changzheng's fingertips emitted internal energy, causing the burly men whose necks he had gripped to roll their eyes back and faint. So when he released them, the two men collapsed to the ground like limp mud.
He laughed heartily, looking up at the sky, and strode confidently into the gambling den.
Inside the gate were several thugs who, seeing his fierce and ruthless demeanor as he swiftly dealt with the four Changsha gang members, dared not intervene.
The main hall of the gambling den was lavishly furnished, with over thirty gambling tables and nearly two hundred gamblers gathered, yet it remained spacious and comfortable. The gamblers, engrossed in various gambling devices, were completely oblivious to the fighting that had broken out at the entrance.
Qi Changzheng scanned the room with his fierce eyes, noticing a dozen or so elegantly dressed prostitutes among the gamblers, but not the "Red Sleeve" girl the madam had described. He hurried towards a side hall further inside.
When he was still more than ten steps from the entrance, a burly middle-aged man, accompanied by two thugs, approached him and shouted, "Friend, stop!"
Qi Changzheng rolled his eyes, ignoring them, and walked towards them.
The burly man's expression changed; he gave a signal, and all three of them drew their knives.
Qi Changzheng suddenly accelerated.
At this moment, the nearby gamblers realized something was wrong and quickly retreated to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Three sharp sounds rang out, and two of the three knives flew out of their hands. Only the middle-aged man, with superior skill, managed to retreat two steps, but due to the numbness in his arms, he couldn't even lift the knife properly, let alone deliver a second blow.
Qi Changzheng pressed his advantage, flashing between the two unarmed thugs. He struck them with both elbows, sending them sprawling to the side. Simultaneously, he deflected the middle-aged man's kick and delivered two slaps to his face.
Blood splattered from his mouth and nose as he staggered backward.
Qi Changzheng ignored him and stepped into the inner hall.
The furnishings here were extravagantly luxurious. What caught his attention most was that, unlike the outer hall which was entirely male, the hostesses were a dozen or so beautiful, alluringly dressed young women serving fruit, tea, snacks, and wine, moving among the eight gambling tables, adding a touch of sensuality and highlighting the superior status of the dozens of guests here compared to those outside.
While the number of people here was far fewer than outside, the number of prostitutes entertaining the guests was more than double.
The sounds of fighting drew everyone's attention to Qi Changzheng.
The middle-aged man he had slapped twice retreated behind a scholar-looking man in his forties sitting at a gambling table in the center of the hall.
This man had a square face and large ears, and was originally handsome, but a three-inch-long scar on his cheek made him look ferocious and terrifying.
Beside the man sat a tall, elegant beauty, with exquisite features and striking looks. Her clothes were perfectly tailored, revealing her full, curvaceous figure, making even Qi Changzheng's heart flutter.
Behind the scarred scholar stood several burly men. Seeing their men suffer a great loss, they were about to pounce, but the scarred scholar stopped them.
Qi Changzheng laughed heartily, attracting everyone's attention, before gracefully bowing to the stunning beauty, saying, "This must be Miss Hongxiu. I've been searching for you for a long time."
The onlookers were astonished, thinking this brute was truly courting death, openly flirting with the woman the Changsha gang leader was about to take as his possession, treating "Viper" Sha Yuan as nothing—it was tantamount to suicide.
Miss Hongxiu's beautiful eyes sparkled with amusement, but she smiled without replying.
The burly men behind Sha Yuan began to shout and curse.
Sha Yuan, however, was used to such situations and knew the newcomer wouldn't harm him. He coldly sized up Qi Changzheng.
Qi Changzheng strode towards Sha Yuan's table.
Those gambling with Sha Yuan, sensing the unfavorable situation, quickly left the table and moved aside.
The hall fell silent, everyone observing the unfolding events.
When Qi Changzheng sat down opposite Sha Yuan, besides Sha Yuan, Hongxiu, and her five henchmen, only a trembling, somewhat attractive female gambling operator remained.
Qi Changzheng's eyes flashed, meeting Sha Yuan's gaze without flinching.
Sha Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, thinking to himself that this man's gaze was so sharp, unlike anything he had ever seen before; he must possess profound inner strength. He feared that even with his henchmen, he wouldn't be a match for him, and a sense of fear crept into his heart. He regretted that in front of everyone, if he showed the slightest weakness, he would have no chance of maintaining his reputation here in the future. He
forced himself to ask, "What is your esteemed name, friend?" Qi Changzheng remained aloof, his gaze falling on the pretty face of the girl in red sleeves. His fierce expression softened, and he smiled gently, nodding before turning to Sha Yuan and saying, "You don't need to know who I am. You should know that I am not some nobody who has come to you in your territory. I only ask if you dare to gamble with me."
Sha Yuan was intimidated by his imposing manner, knowing that if he didn't agree, he would immediately be attacked. He forced a dry laugh and said, "I came here to gamble. Anyone willing to play, I am happy to oblige."
Chapter 605
Sha Yuan chuckled dryly, "I came here to gamble. Anyone willing to play, I am happy to oblige."
He was, after all, a man of the martial world. Although intimidated by Qi Changzheng's imposing manner, he still managed to maintain his dignity and face, so as not to give the impression that he had been forced to agree.
Hongxiu, always perceptive, could easily see through Sha Yuan's feigned bravado. She glanced at him, a fleeting look of disdain crossing her face.
Hongxiu had never imagined she could maintain her chastity in the dark world of brothels like Lian Xiuxiu and Bai Fanghua. Her only wish was to spend her virginity with a decent man. But tonight, Sha Yuan, who had been pursuing her relentlessly, finally lost patience, abandoning all pretense and using the influence of the Changsha gang to pressure the madam. Hongxiu's insistence had also long aroused the madam's displeasure, so she finally succumbed to the pressure and went with Sha Yuan, her virginity seemingly in danger.
Fortunately, Sha Yuan, a frequent visitor to brothels, knew a thing or two. Instead of rushing to a hotel room, he took Hongxiu to a casino, intending to win a few rounds before taking advantage of her, which led to tonight's turning point.
Hongxiu had never really liked Sha Yuan, otherwise she wouldn't have kept using various methods to stall. Seeing Sha Yuan's forced composure now only fueled her contempt and disgust at giving her virginity to such a person. On the other hand, Qi Changzheng, while not quite capable of winning her favor in such a short time, certainly had earned her her affection.
Qi Changzheng leisurely leaned back in his chair, stretched, and first surveyed Hongxiu's pretty face and high breasts with his eyes before saying with satisfaction, "I'm not here to gamble."
Everyone was stunned.
Hongxiu seemed even more interested in him.
When he had looked her over earlier, Hongxiu clearly sensed from his clear eyes that this charming young man only showed admiration, not lust, unlike any man she had ever met. What she didn't know was that this was just a common tactic of a sophisticated lecher; Korean stars often used this. Qi Changzheng, on the other hand, was a prodigy who had frequented brothels since he was 12 or 13, so he was already adept at this technique.
Sha Yuan frowned and said, "My friend first said he wanted to gamble with me, but now he says he's not here to gamble for money. What's going on?"
Qi Changzheng's tiger-like eyes shot out two icy beams as he fixed Sha Yuan on them, and he said in a deep voice, "I want to gamble with Brother Sha on a person."
Sha Yuan's expression changed and he said, "Gamble on a person?"
Qi Changzheng nodded and said, "Yes! If I win, Miss Hongxiu will be mine tonight."
The whole room immediately erupted in commotion, thinking to themselves, how could Sha Yuan accept such a condition?
Miss Hongxiu spoke for the first time, displeased, "Hongxiu is not property. Do you think you can just gamble with her as you please?"
Qi Changzheng smiled slightly at her and said softly, "Don't worry, Miss, I would never be presumptuous. If I win, you will be free tonight. As for whether you want to chat and drink with me, or spend the night with me, it's all up to you. I will not force you in the slightest."
Hongxiu was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself that this man was really strange. He clearly came here for her sake, even at the cost of offending Sha Yuan, and he didn't care whether he could get her or not.
It's just that Hongxiu has always only encountered low-level lechers, so she never realized that this was just an excuse Qi Changzheng used to win her favor. Based on his years of experience in the brothel, Qi Changzheng had already gleaned information from the madam and deduced that her predicament was one of no escape. Even if she escaped tonight, she would be forced to give herself to him again in a few days. At this point, as long as he could win her favor and give her a man she found somewhat pleasing, she wouldn't take the bait.
All eyes were now on Sha Yuan, watching his reaction.
Sha Yuan knew his own bitterness. Although the other man sat motionless across the gambling table, he was radiating a chilling killing intent directed at him—something only a top-tier expert could do. He knew he was far inferior to him, and thought his plans to win her favor tonight were likely ruined. One wrong move, and he might lose his life. Taking a deep breath, he asked, "What if my friend loses?"
Qi Changzheng laughed loudly, his voice shaking the roof tiles, and declared triumphantly, "If I lose, I'll give you my life."
The entire room fell silent, thinking to themselves that this man must be insane.
Sha Yuan secretly thanked his heavens and immediately replied, "It's a deal then. Since my friend has such courage and won't force Miss Hongxiu to do something she doesn't want to do, I'll gamble with you once. If I lose, I won't make things difficult for her."
His words were extremely elegant, making it impossible to tell that he was asking for a way out; instead, he seemed like a generous and magnanimous man.
The two of them looked at the female vendor at the table.
This game was a gamble, where the vendor would place an ivory die in a small copper box, put the lid on, shake and rotate it, and then open the lid. The color or number facing up was the winning bet, and the one who bet correctly won. If the two were to gamble, they could bet on even or odd, or on heads or tails, or colors—it was very simple.
Sha Yuan knew his martial arts skills were inferior to his opponent's, but he was very adept at gambling. He said to Qi Changzheng, "If this friend doesn't object, we can switch from betting to a single bet using three dice. What do you think?"
Qi Changzheng cursed under his breath, knowing that the old fox was afraid he would influence the dice rolls with his internal energy, hence the need for three dice to greatly increase the difficulty. However, the old fox had no idea that his skill had reached the Innate Realm. Without hesitation, he said, "Sure! Let's roll three dice!"
The female stall owner then took out three more dice and solemnly presented them to the two of them for inspection before skillfully tossing them into a large porcelain basin.
The dice didn't bounce or collide in the basin; they just spun around, making a familiar, exciting sound that all gamblers found incredibly thrilling.
The female stall owner called out, "Half a foot away from the table!"
Sha Yuan and Qi Changzheng simultaneously withdrew their hands from the table to avoid any misunderstanding that they were using the table to cheat.
Everyone present held their breath, gripped by intense excitement.
Hongxiu's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light, fixed on Qi Changzheng, wondering if this young stranger would truly commit suicide for her if he lost.
The female vendor put the lid on the bowl, lifted the bowl containing the dice, and with a sharp cry, quickly shook it.
The dice made a crisp sound in the bowl, tightening the tension in everyone's hearts.
Just then, a loud "bang" came from the direction of the main hall, startling the female vendor so much that she accidentally knocked the bowl over onto the gambling table, looking quite embarrassed.
However, no one looked at the female vendor's predicament; instead, they looked towards the main hall.
After the loud bang, there were screams and curses, and then, with the whirring of a motorcycle, a huge, strange figure rushed into the inner hall, stopping right in front of Qi Changzheng's gambling table. Everyone looked closely and saw that the strange figure was an exceptionally handsome young man riding a very strange-looking "thing."
While the crowd was still reeling from the shock, Qi Changzheng recognized the newcomer as none other than his close friend Han Xing. However, Han Xing's appearance had changed noticeably from what he had seen him two months prior. Although the change wasn't as drastic as after Han Xing received the Demon Seed inheritance, it still made Qi Changzheng hesitant to recognize him. He called out in a questioning tone, "Han Xing?"
This call of "Han Xing" immediately drew gasps from the crowd.
Hongxiu's eyes flashed with a strange light as she boldly scrutinized Han Xing. Having frequented brothels, she was well-informed and naturally knew about Han Xing's exploits. She was also extremely curious about Han Xing's rapid rise to prominence, which rivaled that of a martial arts legend.
After the battle at the Dual Cultivation Mansion, Han Xing's reputation had rivaled that of Pang Ban and Lang Fanyun; everyone in the martial arts world both respected and feared him. Although many could tell that Qi Changzheng's tone was questioning and they weren't entirely sure it was Han Xing, it didn't diminish their astonishment at his appearance.
Because Qi Changzheng had disguised himself slightly, Han Xing didn't recognize him immediately. He was still looking around for Qi Changzheng's figure when Qi Changzheng called out. Only then did Han Xing notice him and chuckled, "Yo! Old Qi, you don't recognize me so quickly?"
He could naturally hear the doubt in Qi Changzheng's voice.
Qi Changzheng had no doubt about Han Xing's identity anymore and smiled wryly, "Who told you to keep changing your appearance? I almost didn't recognize you."
Han Xing looked him up and down and exclaimed in surprise, "Weren't you beaten to a pulp by that Ying Fei guy? Your aura is so good, you don't look injured at all! Oh! You've already cultivated innate qi. Heh, I was worried for nothing and came all the way here to save you."
Qi Changzheng was both touched and surprised. He was touched that Han Xing had come all the way to save him, and surprised that Han Xing could tell at a glance that he had already cultivated innate qi. Having such insight meant that Han Xing's skill was indeed much higher than his.
"It seems the rumors about the battle at the Dual Cultivation Palace are true."
Qi Changzheng sighed inwardly. He wasn't the type to be jealous of talent or resent seeing his peers surpass him, so he was merely somewhat impressed, without any real envy. After all, he had already achieved innate Qi at such a young age, which was something to be proud of.
The others were already astonished by Han Xing's identity, and hearing Han Xing say that Qi Changzheng had already achieved innate Qi made them even more surprised. Sha Yuan, however, was in a state of utter dismay, wondering what was going on tonight. Two such important figures had arrived: one a top-tier expert whose influence rivaled Pang Lang's, and the other an unknown innate master. If they wanted to harm me, would I even survive? He should have just stayed at this damned casino and gone straight to a hotel with a beautiful woman!
Sha Yuan was so alarmed by Han Xing's identity and Qi Changzheng's innate Qi that he failed to notice the information Han Xing had revealed. Those who were merely watching the spectacle, assuming they wouldn't clash with Han Xing, noticed Han Xing's mention of "Old Qi" and the matter of Ying Fei, and deduced Qi Changzheng's identity.
One of them exclaimed, "Old Qi? Ying Fei? He's Qi Changzheng? But didn't he just call himself Han?"
This exclamation immediately made those around him realize what was happening, and they began to whisper amongst themselves.
Han Xing, naturally hearing their conversation, couldn't help but laugh and scold Qi Changzheng, "You old Qi, trying to use my name to fool around again?"
This laugh and scolding immediately drew disdainful looks from everyone towards Qi Changzheng, who all assumed he was trying to use Han Xing's name to deceive women. Even Hong Xiu frowned at him. Qi Changzheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that the goodwill he had painstakingly built in Hong Xiu's heart had been quietly eroded.
In fact, everyone except Han Xing misunderstood Qi Changzheng.
Before Han Xing became famous, Qi Changzheng was his close friend, and close friends inevitably teased each other occasionally. When doing harmless little pranks, they would occasionally playfully impersonate each other.
For example, Qi Changzheng would occasionally invite Han Xing to go to brothels, but Han Xing never agreed. So, when Qi Changzheng got angry, he would simply pretend to be Han Xing. Han Xing knew all this, and he had done similar things in retaliation. No one took these little things to heart; they would just laugh and tease each other when they found out. Because they understood each other, they knew the other wouldn't use their name to do anything immoral. This was the tacit understanding between close friends.
Chapter 606:
Han Xing and Qi Changzheng had an understanding and wouldn't take those little things to heart, but others wouldn't think so. Who was Han Xing? He was a big shot second only to Pang Ban and Lang Fanyun. Such a person only needed to reveal his status to gain women's favor without any special methods.
Lian Xiuxiu was a woman of exceptionally high standards; countless men would go to great lengths just to see her. Yet, when Pang Ban merely had Fang Yeyu summon her, Lian Xiuxiu agreed without any hesitation. Why? Was it simply out of fear of the Demon Master's Palace? No, at least Lian Xiuxiu hadn't even considered that question before agreeing. It was because she was extremely curious about Pang Ban, this legendary figure in the martial arts world.
In the original story, Zuo Shi, and later Lian Xiuxiu, also showed great interest in Lang Fanyun after their meeting. It's precisely because of women's emotional thinking and romantic sentiments that they harbor immense longing for such mythical figures. Therefore, after meeting him, as long as the reality isn't too far off or too disappointing, they can generally be moved.
Qi Changzheng had already made his intentions clear: he came to the casino for Hongxiu, to hunt for women. This practically confirmed his crime of using the name of a Korean star to deceive women.
Qi Changzheng felt the contemptuous gazes of everyone and was speechless. When he initially introduced himself as "Han Mou," he did indeed have the idea of using Han Xing's name, but it was absolutely not to use Han Xing's fame to deceive women. Who was Qi Changzheng? He was always upright and honest, and he was already a master of the Innate Realm. Even if he wasn't as skilled as Han Xing, why would he need to impersonate someone else? No.
Qi Changzheng initially didn't want to reveal his real name because he knew there were many spies from Fang Yeyu's side in Changsha Prefecture, and he didn't want to expose his whereabouts. Then, he was puzzled by the matter between Han Xing and Han Bicui, and as a small act of revenge against Han Xing, he naturally immediately planned to use Han Xing's name.
However, he quickly considered Han Xing's current reputation and didn't want to use it to gain Hongxiu's favor, so he only referred to himself as "Han Mou." He didn't answer when Sha Yuan asked his name again, for the same reason.
Qi Changzheng ultimately didn't explain. Although he understood those people's thoughts, they ultimately didn't utter a curse; there was really no point in explaining. Moreover, his fussy explanation was quite different from his usual unconventional and unrestrained style.
Fortunately, Qi Changzheng was a very magnanimous person and understood that Han Xing was just habitually joking and scolding him, not intentionally trying to embarrass him. So he just smiled helplessly and then laughed heartily, "Now that you know I'm alright, there's no need to worry. You rarely come to a casino, why don't you join in and gamble?"
"Gamble?"
Han Xing looked at his opponent sitting opposite Qi Changzheng, his gaze briefly lingering on Sha Yuan before settling on Hongxiu. Seeing her excellent looks, coupled with her well-tailored clothes that revealed her voluptuous and sexy figure, his eyes lit up.
Hongxiu's heart trembled under his seemingly captivating gaze, and remembering his extraordinary status second only to Pang Lang, she felt both secretly delighted and apprehensive.
Han Xing withdrew his gaze and said, "I'm afraid I can't gamble with you for now." He
glanced at Qi Changzheng, then looked at Hongxiu, a dashing smile playing on his lips, and said, "Because I need to 'rob' her first."
His eyes were fixed on Hongxiu, making it clear to everyone who his target would be if he were to 'rob' her.
A gasp rippled through the room; no one expected Han Xing to say such a thing. However, seeing that he didn't act rashly or impulsively, it was clear he was just casually flirting with Hongxiu. But could this really win Hongxiu's favor? Everyone was puzzled.
If it were any other stranger, suddenly saying such a thing to Hongxiu would immediately trigger a landmine, making Hongxiu think he was pretentious and repulsive. But Han Xing was different. He was handsome, and that alone was enough to win Hongxiu's favor. Moreover, his extraordinary status even made Hongxiu feel unworthy of him (she knew she couldn't compare to someone like Lian Xiuxiu), so naturally, he wouldn't annoy her.
Hongxiu was stunned when she heard Han Xing's words, but seeing that he didn't have the lecherous and violent feeling one would expect from a lecherous man, but instead had very clear eyes (Qi Changzheng knew this trick, and so did Han Xing), coupled with his relaxed, almost joking smile, she couldn't help but chuckle and nodded, finding it amusing, saying, "Okay, if it's you, Han Xing."
Her words made it clear to everyone that she had a good impression of Han Xing.
Sha Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling utterly humiliated, but despite his dissatisfaction, he didn't dare to hold it against her afterwards. Given Han Xing's status, if word got out that he had feelings for any courtesan, once confirmed, that woman's value would instantly increase a hundredfold. Such a public expression of friendship would deter most people from forcing the woman.
It was as if Pang Ban had only asked Lian Xiuxiu to sing a song, and those who had considered using their power to force her to meet them immediately abandoned their plans. Because that one meeting was tantamount to establishing a relationship between her and Pang Ban. Men are generally happy to help beautiful women, especially those they've known before, even if they don't reciprocate the woman's feelings.
Besides, everyone feared that the hero and beauty might fall in love at first sight. If they were to force themselves on her, Pang Ban might become enraged and kill her. They didn't know that Pang Ban had long since given up on such matters. Therefore, those who wanted to see Lian Xiuxiu could only try to win her favor through legitimate means.
Seeing that Han Xing had won Hongxiu's favor with just one move, Qi Changzheng couldn't help but think to himself, "This is troublesome! Han Xing is new and unaware of my previous pursuit of Hongxiu. Even if he made a move against her, I can't blame him for being a bad friend."
Originally, Han Xing and Hongxiu had only met for the first time. If Qi Changzheng had given him a slight hint, Han Xing would have understood Qi Changzheng's feelings for Hongxiu, and out of friendship, Han Xing shouldn't have made any further moves against her. But Han Xing had only made one move, and Hongxiu already seemed quite fond of him.
If Qi Changzheng were to now hint to Han Xing, forcing him to withdraw from the competition out of friendship, it would be ungentlemanly. Moreover, if Hongxiu noticed, he would immediately dislike him, and unless he used force, he would forever lose the right to compete for her affections. Would Qi Changzheng use force? No. Although his methods with women were somewhat domineering, he would never use force. If he did, he wouldn't be Qi Changzheng.
"Hey! When did this kid become so good with women? No wonder Han Bicui is so infatuated with him,"
Qi Changzheng sighed inwardly.
Han Xing didn't care what they thought and said with delight, "Since you're willing, then let's not delay and go out right away."
Qi Changzheng was not discouraged despite his defeat. He knew that if Hongxiu was really taken away by Han Xing, she would definitely be devoured by him tonight. So he laughed and said, "You can't just run away like this. Since we're at the casino, we should at least gamble. Don't you think so, Brother Sha?"
He turned his gaze to Sha Yuan.
Sha Yuan was already frightened by the series of changes and didn't dare to argue with Han Xing. However, if Han Xing let him take Hongxiu away with just a few words, he would have no place in the martial arts world anymore. Moreover, Qi Changzheng only said to gamble. With Han Xing's status, even if he lost, he wouldn't make a move.
So Sha Yuan immediately chuckled and agreed, "Brother Qi is right. How can you come to a casino and not take a gamble?"
He secretly vowed that even if he won, he would never touch Hongxiu.
Han Xing asked, "Oh?" and then, "So what are you betting on, and how do you wager?"
Sha Yuan replied, "The wager is simple: three dice for a bet. As for the stakes..."
Qi Changzheng interrupted, "The stakes are: if I win, Hongxiu will be free tonight, and I hope she'll use that freedom to drink and chat with me. If I lose, I'll give my life to Brother Sha."
Sha Yuan quickly smiled obsequiously, "Don't worry, even if Brother Qi says so, I won't make things difficult for you."
He looked like a lapdog, but everyone, including Hongxiu, was no longer interested in him; he was no longer the main character tonight.
Han Xing asked hesitantly, "Is this your bet?"
Qi Changzheng knew that Han Xing's real dilemma wasn't about gambling with his life, but rather that Han Xing had 'finally' learned of his feelings for Hongxiu from his bet.
He immediately replied, "Don't worry, there are no fathers and sons in a gambling den. Just place your bet." His words clearly indicated that he didn't mind Han Xing's unintentional attempt to steal Hongxiu away and was willing to compete fairly with him.
Everyone understood Han Xing's dilemma and the meaning behind Qi Changzheng's words. They couldn't help but secretly applaud Qi Changzheng's magnanimity. Even Hongxiu's opinion of him changed again, and she felt a renewed sense of goodwill towards him, secretly thinking that this man was indeed broad-minded.
Han Xing, however, was secretly laughing. How could he not understand that besides establishing a fair competition bet, Qi Changzheng's words were actually an offensive against Hongxiu to win back his lost favor? However, Qi Changzheng's move was already within his expectations. He knew what Qi Changzheng was planning when he inquired about Qi Changzheng's whereabouts from the madam.
His sudden flirtation with Hongxiu was actually a risky tactic, because even he himself wasn't sure if such a bizarre move would win her favor. (PS: When he used that move, he secretly enhanced the power of his demonic seed, greatly increasing his attractiveness to women and preventing Hongxiu from developing any ill will towards him.
But Qi Changzheng had already launched his offensive, and Han Xing could only try to win Hongxiu's favor with a bizarre move while she was still unaware that Qi Changzheng was pursuing her. Only in this way could he force Qi Changzheng to compete fairly with him. After all, he couldn't abandon his friendship and steal Hongxiu's love for a courtesan he had just met. (PS:) Han Xing's joking rebuke of Qi Changzheng for using his name was purely accidental, not intentional. He had no idea Qi Changzheng had ever called himself "Han Mou."
Chapter 607
"Since you've made such a bet, it's not appropriate for me to get involved... How about this, I'll place another bet on yours, but I won't bet with you; I'll bet with Miss Hongxiu."
Han Xing fixed his gaze on Hongxiu.
Qi Changzheng knew Han Xing was about to launch another attack on Hongxiu, and thought with a wry smile: This kid really doesn't know how to be polite. I just agreed to fair competition, and he immediately launched an attack on Hongxiu. But then he thought: Only this way will it be satisfying. If he hesitates and doesn't dare to attack boldly because of the issue of who came first, then I won't be satisfied even if I win.
Hongxiu's eyes lit up with surprise . She asked, "I wonder how Young Master Han intends to wager with Hongxiu?"
She had originally intended to call him "Hero Han," but Han Xing's attire lacked any air of a chivalrous hero, and he was so young, so she simply addressed him as "Young Master Han.
" Han Xing smiled and said, "If I win, then Miss Hongxiu will spend the night with me!"
Hongxiu seemed to have expected Han Xing to say this, so she wasn't too surprised, though she was clearly a little shy and pleased.
Qi Changzheng quickly interrupted, saying, "Hey, hey, hey, your wager conflicts with mine. You're not betting on the same game as us. If we each win and lose, that's fine, but what if we both win? If I win, I'll restore Miss Hongxiu's freedom, but if you win, you'll have to let Hongxiu spend the night with you."
Han Xing laughed heartily, "How can that conflict? In this world, only the strong—" "I didn't force her to gamble. If Miss Hongxiu is willing to gamble her freedom tonight with me, then that's her freedom. So the key is whether Miss Hongxiu is willing to gamble with me."
Is there really no conflict in the bet? No.
As long as Qi Changzheng hasn't won, Hongxiu hasn't regained her freedom. Theoretically, Hongxiu is still considered Sha Yuan's person tonight, and shouldn't have the right to gamble her freedom. Han Xing's bet directly bypassed Sha Yuan's 'ownership' of Hongxiu, clearly showing he didn't respect him. Of course, he didn't point it out, saving face for Sha Yuan.
The audience members present might have thought of the conflict, or they might not. But whether they thought of it or not, they wouldn't say it, because that would be tantamount to offending Han Xing. Moreover, once they did, they would highlight Sha Yuan's awkward position, leaving Sha Yuan with only two choices: either express that he didn't mind Han Xing's 'overstepping his authority,' completely losing face; Secondly, protesting Han Xing's bet outright would directly offend Han Xing. So, speaking out about it would be the same as offending Sha Yuan. Offending Han Xing might not be so bad; given his status, he might not bother with small fry like them. But offending Sha Yuan, a local tyrant, would be a much bigger problem, and he would definitely retaliate. The audience members who stayed were only there for the spectacle and didn't want to get involved, so they naturally wouldn't say anything.
Hongxiu, of course, wouldn't say anything either. She never liked Sha Yuan to begin with, but was forced to come. Now that two far superior options had suddenly appeared, she had already made up her mind to take this opportunity to get rid of him.
Sha Yuan was the first to notice Han Xing overstepping his authority, and although he was dissatisfied, he absolutely dared not speak out. In fact, He had long since given up on the idea of getting close to her, only wanting to save face and get away with it honestly. Afterwards, he could boast about betting with a Korean star, indirectly elevating his status.
Qi Changzheng wouldn't say anything; he wasn't worried about angering the Korean star or Sha Yuan, but that would annoy Hongxiu, so he had to keep quiet.
Therefore, although many people knew the bet was a bit unreasonable, no one said anything.
"I wonder if Miss Hongxiu would be willing to gamble with me on this?"
Han Xing asked Hongxiu.
Hongxiu countered, "Young master hasn't said yet, what if Hongxiu wins?"
Han Xing slapped his forehead, realizing his mistake, "I was being rude. How about this... if Miss Hongxiu wins, then I'll agree to do something for her."
Hongxiu asked in surprise, "Anything?"
Han Xing thought to himself that Hongxiu didn't seem like the kind of person who didn't know her place, and probably wouldn't ask for anything too outrageous. He decided not to bring up anything like "don't go against your conscience," or any of those wishy-washy conditions. Besides, he couldn't possibly lose to her. Thinking this, he immediately put on a generous and handsome smile and said, "Of course, anything is fine, even if you want me to spend my whole life with you."
Hongxiu let out a soft moan, revealing an extremely shy and delighted expression, clearly very tempted by Han Xing's offer.
Qi Changzheng smiled bitterly to himself, knowing his chances tonight were slim. Han Xing's tactics were too effective; Hongxiu's attention was now almost entirely on Han Xing. No matter how attractive Qi Changzheng was to women, if she didn't even glance at him, all his charm would be in vain.
"Then, Miss Hongxiu, would you be willing to gamble with me on this game?"
Han Xing asked again.
Hongxiu lowered her head and nodded, saying, "Hongxiu is willing."
She knew that after tonight, regardless of who won or lost, she would willingly let Han Xing do as he pleased, with just a word from him. She had met many people, but this was the first time she had encountered such a bold and charismatic yet sensible person.
Han Xing knew he had victory in his grasp, smiled confidently, and said to the female vendor, "You can roll the dice now."
The female vendor's heart skipped a beat at his confident smile. It took her a while to regain her composure, collect the three dice that had just scattered, solemnly present them to the three people for inspection, and then skillfully toss them into the large porcelain basin.
The dice didn't bounce or collide in the bowl, but simply spun around, making a familiar, thrilling sound that all gamblers found incredibly exciting.
The female vendor called out again, "Move half a foot away from the table!"
The three of them simultaneously moved slightly away from the table to avoid any misunderstanding that they were cheating.
The hearts of the entire audience were in their throats, feeling extremely excited.
Hongxiu's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light, her gaze fixed on Han Xing.
The female vendor put the lid on the bowl, lifted the bowl containing the dice, and with a sharp shout, quickly shook it.
The dice made a crisp sound in the bowl, tightening the tension in the entire audience.
"Thump!"
The bowl was slammed back onto the table.
Hongxiu opened her beautiful little mouth nervously, thinking to herself that tonight, win or lose, would change her life.
Han Xing and Qi Changzheng looked at each other, while Sha Yuan had completely become a spectator. Everyone was tense about the outcome, but he alone was no longer interested in winning or losing; well, he did have a bit of the air of a wise man who was unmoved by external things.
"Wait!"
The entire room was stunned, even Han Xing was no exception.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome and elegant young man who had appeared at some point. He strode to the gambling table and said in an extremely pleasant voice, "How can I miss out on this game where people gamble with their lives?"
Qi Changzheng recognized "him" at a glance as Han Bicui and wondered what she was doing here at this time.
Han Xing, however, did not recognize Han Bicui. Although he had thought of her recently, he had only met her briefly once, and from his perspective, the last time he saw her was three years ago, so his memory of her was already vague.
In addition, Han Bicui was a master of disguise; when dressed as a man, her every move was indistinguishable from a man's. Han Xing had never been interested in men. Unless they attracted his special attention, he would usually just glance at them and roughly remember their appearance. For example, Han Xing only remembered Sha Yuan's general outline and the scar on his face; she had no other impression of his appearance.
So, after giving him a questioning look, Han Xing said unhappily, "If you're interested, we can bet on another round after this one."
He was already confident of victory and clearly didn't like her suddenly interfering.
Han Bicui knew that Qi Changzheng recognized her, but Han Xing looked at her as if she were a complete stranger. She wasn't proud of her disguise skills at all; instead, she said with obvious jealousy, "You don't recognize me?"
Han Xing was taken aback. "I know you?"
He casually looked 'him' up and down, but because his mind was still preoccupied with Hongxiu, he didn't realize 'he' was actually 'she,' and instead asked suspiciously, "Are you Ying Fei?"
Before Han Bicui could even get angry, Qi Changzheng 'pfft'ed the half-mouthed tea he had just drunk, laughing, "Hey! Are you really Han Xing?"
Han Xing said irritably, "Absolutely."
Qi Changzheng smiled wryly, "If I didn't recognize your face and some of your unique mannerisms, I really wouldn't be sure you were Han Xing."
He paused, then added, "Ying... " "Fei hates you so much, he must have suffered a great loss at your hands. But how come you don't even remember his appearance and physique? His build is so different from hers."
Han Xing shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "Of course I know he can't be Ying Fei. It's just that he knows me, and he would come out to cause trouble for us at this time. The only man I can think of who is decent-looking is Ying Fei, so I subconsciously said his name."
After Qi Changzheng's banter, Han Bicui finally controlled her temper and didn't explode. She just snorted and said, "If you don't remember, that's fine. Anyway, I have to be included in this round."
She sat down opposite Han Xing in a grand manner and said, "You guys tell me who bets on even and who bets on odd before I tell you my betting method and stakes."
Her manner of speaking and her demeanor were exactly like a man's, so no one would doubt that she was a woman. If Qi Changzheng hadn't just parted ways with her recently and had a deep impression of her, he wouldn't have recognized her at a glance.
Sha Yuan now knew he was on the sidelines. As long as he behaved himself, Qi Changzheng and Han Xing wouldn't harm him. Feeling more relaxed, he also felt the betting game had become even more exciting and interesting due to Han Bicui's involvement. Staring at the sealed porcelain basin, he pretended to be generous and said, "This betting game started by Brother Qi and me, so Brother Qi should pick first!"
Qi Changzheng said to Hongxiu, "Miss Hongxiu
, please pick for me." Hongxiu glanced at Han Xing before saying to Qi Changzheng, "This concerns your life and death, so you should pick for yourself."
Qi Changzheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that Hongxiu had already chosen Han Xing, and he had no chance. He casually said, "Then I'll choose even."
Sha Yuan said, "Then I'll choose odd. What will Brother Han choose?"
Han Xing said to Hongxiu, "Speaking of which, we haven't decided whether to bet on odd/even or big/small yet. Why don't you choose one for me? You decide whether to win or lose."
Hongxiu blushed and lowered her head, saying softly, "Hongxiu wants to win, but she doesn't want Young Master to lose either. Let Young Master choose for himself."
Everyone couldn't help but secretly praise Hongxiu's cleverness. If she didn't choose for Qi Changzheng but for Han Xing, it would definitely make Qi Changzheng lose face. If she directly refused Han Xing, it would definitely make Han Xing unhappy. But by expressing her preference for Han Xing and putting herself in a difficult position, she refused Han Xing. This not only saved Qi Changzheng's face but also avoided upsetting Han Xing.
Sure enough, after hearing Hongxiu's words, Han Xing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Alright, I've put you in a difficult position."
Hongxiu's words were tantamount to admitting her feelings for Han Xing; winning or losing was no longer important to him.
The most displeased person in the room was probably Han Bicui. Seeing Han Xing's smug expression made her angry, and she couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
