The Romantic Substitute Duan Yu (from the novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils")

Chapter 1: The Lingbo Weibu Exhibition
The night was dark and windy, with stars filling the sky. In the largest museum in Huaxia City, the largest city was packed with people. Today, an unusual museum exhibition was being held.
The exhibit was the "Lingbo Weibu," a martial arts manual only found in the novel *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*.
People, filled with curiosity and a thirst for knowledge, flocked to see if it was truly the "Lingbo Weibu."
According to rumors, this manual was recently unearthed from the tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty emperor.
Throughout history, every emperor has built countless fake imperial tombs, and Zhu Yuanzhang, this cunning emperor, built even more, numerous fake imperial tombs.
"Behind the red gates, meat and wine go to waste; on the road, frozen corpses lie!"
This perfectly describes Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament. Originally from a Confucian background, Zhu Yuanzhang was merely a minor altar master. Zhang Wuji was the most likely candidate to become the emperor. However, Zhang Wuji still gave up his position as leader of the Ming Cult for a woman, giving the Dragon-Slaying Saber to Zhu Yuanzhang, thus granting him the nominal power to command all heroes under heaven.
Zhu Yuanzhang, upon becoming emperor, amassed a vast collection of martial arts manuals, but no one knew where he hid them. Now, major newspapers are reporting the excavation of Zhu Yuanzhang's true imperial tomb. Therefore, the authenticity of this manual, "Lingbo Weibu" (Lingbo Steps), is difficult to ascertain.
This martial arts manual is currently placed in the center of the main hall of the Boyuan Museum. Anyone wishing to view it must maintain a distance of approximately two meters.
The "Lingbo Weibu" manual is housed in a glass case. Although it's just a glass case, its security is not to be underestimated. This small glass case is manufactured using the most advanced technology available.
Even steel-core bullets cannot penetrate its defenses. Moreover, the defense is not limited to this; an area of about two meters around the glass case is completely protected by invisible infrared rays, preventing even a fly from passing through. When something approached the glass case, a lifting platform beneath it would quickly retract the [Lingbo Weibu] technique.
Numerous miniature cameras filled the hall. Four cold-faced men in black stood around the glass case, each wearing black earpieces for constant communication. Their waists had prominent bulges; anyone who had seen the movies would recognize them. Many more similarly dressed men were scattered throughout the hall.
Guns! Armed guards! The visitors were deeply shocked by all this, but no one objected. Such protection was perfectly reasonable for a national treasure-level martial arts manual.
The sheer scale of the display made it all seem real, stirring a sense of excitement within them.
Night fell, and the exhibition ended. The visitors slowly began to leave. The bright moon cast its shimmering light across the night sky. With a loud bang, the massive doors of the Boyuan Museum slammed shut. With a click, the power switch went off. Except for the dim light in the main hall, the entire museum was plunged into darkness.
The moon began to dim, and a sliver of dawn appeared in the sky. Daylight was approaching. Just then, a faint breeze swept through the night sky. A pale white shadow flashed across the night.
The white figure arrived at the Boyuan Museum, performed a pigeon somersault, and lightly leaped onto the three-story-high structure. Reaching a ventilation shaft, it darted inside. This alone demonstrated the person's formidable martial arts skills. The ventilation shaft was only the size of a basketball, yet the person slipped inside in a flash, indicating exceptional bone-shrinking ability.
Duan Yu dared to enter through the ventilation shaft, but before he could even stand still, his body suddenly shifted to the side. He contorted himself in several strange poses in mid-air, twisting and turning before landing on one leg.
"Who designed this safety device? This person is incredibly cunning. If it weren't for me, I would already be down by now,"
Duan Yu thought calmly with a smile.
Emerging from the ventilation duct, one is immediately struck by numerous invisible infrared beams and sensors. The people here must have anticipated that a master would enter through the duct. The most ingenious part is that they deliberately didn't set up obstacles inside the duct, but rather at the entrance, creating a sense of paralysis.
Duan Yu, a world-class master thief, is internationally known as the Silver Fox. The Silver Fox signifies his extreme cunning. He is the leader of the contemporary Chinese master thief sect. In reality, he is the only leader.
He leaps from the ground, contracts in mid-air, then stretches out and spins to land. Suddenly, he lands on his left hand, head up and feet down, striking a dramatic airplane pose, then spins again and lands in front.
Despite these numerous movements, the smile on Duan Yu's face never wavers. It remains a wicked grin. The security here is undeniably strong, almost impossible to move an inch. Every corner is a trap, yet Duan Yu still manages to reach the lobby.
He pulls a miniature pen from his pocket, gently turning the cap to reveal the tip. He only put away the miniature pen when he heard a slight noise around him. What he used wasn't just a pen; it was a small jammer, designed to disable all the surrounding cameras.
He used the same method on the other cameras along the way. This jammer wasn't like ordinary ones. When the jammer was activated, the people monitoring the Boyuan Hall still saw clear images on the screens, only the images were static.
"I thought getting here would be very troublesome, but it seems I was just overthinking it. Although these facilities are powerful, they're useless against me."
Duan Yu opened his mouth, spat out a piece of chewing gum, and stuck it to the glass case containing the [Lingbo Weibu] technique. He stretched out his right hand, and a thread shot out, wrapping around the glass case. Before the sensors on the glass case could react, the glass suddenly shattered from both sides, spreading apart as Duan Yu pulled. At the same time, Duan Yu's other hand moved, sending out another thread that bounced onto the yellowed book. With a gentle tug, he pulled the book out. Then, with a flick of his right hand, he restored everything to its original state. All this, though described in a long sentence, was actually just a fleeting movement.

Chapter 2: The Trap
While Duan Yu was away, he briefly flipped through the book. Page after page turned rapidly, but Duan Yu's expression grew increasingly grim. Suddenly, his left ear twitched, and he shifted to the right. He lashed out with a backhand strike.
With two sharp sounds, a figure crashed into a glass cabinet beside him. Clap clap clap! Three claps rang out, and a dozen or so people in police uniforms appeared in the hall. These people had all risen directly from the ground. Duan Yu looked at these people, a wicked smile playing on his lips. His eyes pierced through them, focusing on a beautiful woman clapping at the doorway in the distance.
She was undeniably beautiful. She wore cropped jeans and a sleeveless t-shirt. Her hair was casually tied in a ponytail, giving her a refreshing appearance.
The woman walked straight up to Duan Yu and stopped, her cherry lips parting slightly as she said, "As expected of the renowned international number one thief, Silver Fox Duan Yu, you were able to defeat your opponent so quickly even when distracted. Your strength is indeed well-deserved."
"How dare I! It seems this was all a setup. I just don't understand why you singled me out. Do you think I'm more handsome, beautiful lady, and have fallen for me?"
"I'm so narcissistic," Duan Yu said, casually tossing the [Lingbo Weibu] manual into the air. With his effort, the book shattered, scattering pages onto the ground, revealing blank pages.
The [Lingbo Weibu] manual was fake. This meant it was all orchestrated. Duan Yu hadn't expected why the other party knew he would come here.
Duan Yu hadn't committed a crime for two years. Two years ago, his international reputation was immense. Who didn't know Duan Yu's name? Two years ago, Duan Yu, already somewhat famous, made a name for himself, but then all his information vanished.
Two years ago, Duan Yu committed a heist that shocked the world: he raided the most heavily fortified weapons research center in the United States, stealing all of the country's weapons manufacturing data. Then he disappeared without a trace!
"I can only say Duan Yu, you're under arrest!"
"Arrested! Beautiful lady, I actually want to go with you, but these few good-for-nothings around here can't take me away?"
Duan Yu waved his hand, feigning helplessness.
"Is that so? Duan Yu, I quite admire you. Be a good girl and come with me. Otherwise, I'll get angry, and the consequences will be severe."
The woman blinked, revealing a charming expression.
"I'm honored to admire you, but going with you would mean giving up a wonderful forest. I think it's better not to. I think I should enjoy myself for a few more years. Since everything's alright, see you next time, beautiful lady!"
As soon as Duan Yu finished speaking, he threw a bullet to the ground. At the same time, he put on a pair of black sunglasses.
A loud bang! The bullet exploded, releasing a blinding white light. A mini flashbang! After throwing the bullet, Duan Yu quickly left the hall, appearing outside the Boyuan Museum.
Standing outside, Duan Yu didn't continue forward, because he realized he was surrounded. This was within his expectations. Since this was a trap specifically set for him, such methods were indispensable.
An entire company of fully armed special forces soldiers, weapons in hand, faced Duan Yu. Duan Yu was standing on the top floor of the Boyuan Museum. He was surrounded by special forces soldiers, and he also realized that he was being targeted by at least ten snipers. He was locked onto by snipers from all sides. There was
no escape from this inescapable net; this was the most accurate description of Duan Yu's current situation. With a creak, the rooftop door opened. Han Xue walked out.
"Didn't I tell you, be a good girl and come with me, don't struggle, okay? If you dare to move again, then I'll really let you experience my temper."
Han Xue said in a coaxing tone, like she was talking to a child.
"I must say, you've gone to great lengths to deal with me this time, but..."
Duan Yu's voice suddenly stopped, and several beams of white light burst from his body. At the same time, bang bang bang! Three gunshots rang out! Three bullet holes appeared on the ground! The master thief used the "Smoke and Breeze" movement technique, closing the distance to Han Xue in a very short time. Caught off guard, Han Xue was immediately subdued by Duan Yu. A bullet grazed Duan Yu's body.
Duan Yu hadn't chosen to escape downstairs but instead restrained Han Xue because he knew the danger of jumping would be absolute.
Duan Yu's actions were extremely risky; although he had temporarily blinded the snipers with a flashbang, the snipers had already aimed and fired the instant the flash appeared. Duan Yu had taken advantage of that momentary lapse in concentration.
"Duan Yu, do you think you can escape like this? You can't escape in this situation. Surrender,"
Han Xue said, showing no fear despite being subdued.
"If I can't escape, I can't escape. With such a beautiful woman by my side, I can die in peace,"
Duan Yu's lips were almost touching Han Xue's ear. The intense heat of his masculine breath made Han Xue involuntarily move.
Duan Yu's left hand bound Han Xue's hands. His right hand rested on Han Xue's chest, and his left knee pressed against the back of Han Xue's left knee. Their bodies were intimately intertwined.
"Is that really what you think? Then let's try it."
Han Xue said, preparing to order the surrounding men to fire. But before she could speak, she felt a tickle in her earring and a tightening in her chest, causing her to stop screaming. It turned out that while she was speaking, Duan Yu had licked her earring with his tongue. His right hand had also mischievously reached for her breasts. Han Xue blushed.
Han Xue was the leader of the fifth special agent group in China. This plan to deal with Duan Yu was her idea. She desperately wanted to know why this man had disappeared after committing such a major crime. According to the intelligence she had gathered, Duan Yu was an eccentric person with a particular fondness for strange things.
Before committing the crime in America, he primarily stole items related to martial arts or other unusual objects.
It was only with the discovery of Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial tomb that Han Xue had this idea. She planned to use the "Lingbo Weibu" (a martial arts technique) to attract Duan Yu's attention. She knew Duan Yu would take the bait. Since this man was named Duan Yu, as long as he was human, he would have vanity. He would definitely want to know about the "Lingbo Weibu" that Duan Yu in *Demi-Gods and Semi- Devils* knew.
"You shameless!"
Han Xue said angrily. She hadn't expected Duan Yu to be such a lecher. It was a pity her seduction hadn't worked on him earlier.
"Thank you for the compliment! You've already figured out my true nature so quickly. It seems we're quite compatible."
Duan Yu said, his wicked hands still making small movements. He didn't let her off the hook with his mouth either, actually groping her from her earlobe down to her neck in front of so many people.
As he kneaded her, Han Xue's body slowly changed, her breasts hardening. What made her most ashamed and angry was that so many of her subordinates were watching.
Although Duan Yu was outwardly teasing her, his mind was racing, trying to figure out how to escape. Don't be fooled by the fact that these people haven't made a move yet; Duan Yu knows they're not as intimidating as he claims.
These special forces soldiers haven't shown the slightest sign of panic despite his teasing of Han Xue. Their resolve is exceptionally strong. These people are like tigers descending a mountain—they don't move until they're ready to strike.

Chapter 3: Struck by Lightning!
Duan Yu's hands became increasingly outrageous. He slipped his hand under Han Xue's sleeveless t-shirt, covering her large breasts. Even through her bra, Duan Yu could feel the warmth and fullness beneath his hand, and he gently kneaded it. What a feast for the eyes! Such a beauty, and she's a policewoman.
With this thought, Duan Yu's heart stirred. How wonderful it would be to play with her in uniform. Han Xue's neck was now flushed red, her eyes filled with anger and shyness.
Just as Duan Yu was freely fondling her, a soft "snap" suddenly rang out. Without thinking, Duan Yu pulled Han Xue to the side, and *thud!* A black crater appeared on the ground.
"Sister Han, you're in quite the mood! Coming to catch the Silver Fox, you've actually offered yourself up!" A beautiful woman wearing small leather boots, a black miniskirt, and a tight-fitting vest appeared in the room. She was currently toying with a silver pistol in her hand—a Desert Eagle. Duan Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief; if he had been hit, he would have been in serious trouble.
The Desert Eagle is extremely powerful with a huge recoil, and the fact that this woman could fire that shot so easily shows she must have considerable arm strength. From her gait, Duan Yu could tell she was also a trained fighter. Actually, Han Xue was also a trained fighter, but Duan Yu had the upper hand, which led to her capture. Duan Yu's incredibly skillful use of the flashbang was truly formidable.
Han Xue blushed deeply upon seeing the woman, Li Ke, the leader of the Sixth Special Agent Team. The two were sworn enemies within the organization, constantly competing with each other. She never expected to appear so pathetically before Li Ke. But now, completely immobilized, she could only turn her head and glare resentfully at Duan Yu.
Duan Yu was utterly confused by her resentful look. What did that resentful gaze mean?
"You must be Duan Yu, the Silver Fox. You're so handsome! You're my idol! Hehe, why are you grabbing Han Xue? Look at her figure, she's slender but not as hot as me! Her chest is practically flat, no curves at all."
Li Ke finished speaking and puffed out her proud chest, which was covered by her vest, making her extremely alluring with her current attire.
"Little sister, yours is indeed much more magnificent than Han Xue's. We're truly kindred spirits. We can spar again sometime. Now, I'm leaving."
Duan Yu finished speaking and slowly moved to the side with Han Xue. He kept his eyes and ears open, ready to dodge any sniper attacks. Duan Yu's reputation as an international thief was well-deserved. The most powerful skills of the Divine Thief Sect were lightness skills and various thieving techniques. With the development of the times, the Divine Thief Sect's skills had declined. According to Duan Yu's understanding, the Divine Thief Sect used to have a unique skill: pressure point striking. But now, that's gone. Otherwise, Duan Yu wouldn't have to go through all this trouble.
As times have progressed, the thieving skills of the Divine Thief Sect have also improved, incorporating techniques from the technological age.
This is what made Duan Yu's fame spread far and wide. A master thief! A master thief! The so-called theft is stealing things without the other person noticing. But being surrounded by such a large force is a first for Duan Yu.
He doesn't know if he can escape, but his heart is silently chanting, "Dear Guanyin sister, as long as I can get through this ordeal, I will definitely buy you your favorite miniskirt and sleeveless top in the future."
The thought is extremely wicked.
Duan Yu is now betting that these people won't dare to make a move!
"Silver Fox brother, why are you running? If you leave, your little sister will be sad. Right, Sister Xue! Attack!"
Li Ke's voice suddenly turned cold. She coldly shouted! As soon as she finished speaking, the people around her opened fire. Duan Yu quickly threw Han Xue aside. Then he used all his strength to use his light footwork to dodge the incoming bullets. Two daggers made of some unknown material appeared in his hands. Clang clang, they blocked several bullets.
This isn't to say Duan Yu's hand speed is incredibly fast! Actually, blocking bullets isn't anything terrifying for some of the world's top mercenaries. At least the world's top ten masters can block bullets.
The principle of blocking bullets is very simple: when someone fires, you know in advance where they're going to attack your body, and you block that part with an object that can deflect the bullet. However, it sounds simple, but it's incredibly difficult to do. It requires immense mental strength.
To perform a bullet-blocking posture with such rapid movements as Silver Fox is even more difficult. All of this is because of the martial arts of the Divine Thief Sect. The Divine Thief Sect has managed to survive for so long, even though their martial arts have declined, they stole a large number of martial arts manuals in their time.
Some remnants of these manuals still exist within the sect. Among them is a particularly peculiar one. It contains only a few hundred characters, all in incredibly profound seal script. It's also the only complete manual. Silver Fox began practicing it the first time he saw it. Although he couldn't understand the secret manual's contents, he memorized it thoroughly. He would silently recite Duan Xuan's calligraphy whenever he had free time.
After more than a decade of recitation, Duan Yu discovered he possessed a unique ability stronger than others: the ability to sense any danger to his body.
Han Xue, thrown to the ground by Duan Yu, was completely unaffected by the surrounding attacks. Her gaze was filled with complex emotions as she watched Duan Yu constantly dodging. She couldn't understand why he had abandoned her.
"Sister Han, are you alright? If you're alright, come quickly,"
Li Ke waved to Han Xue.
"Why did you order the shooting!"
Han Xue questioned as she walked over.
"Of course, it was to capture him,"
Li Ke said matter-of-factly.
"I'm under his control! You didn't care about my life or death! Haven't you mastered your theory? You can't attack hostages indiscriminately!"
Han Xue said coldly.
“I know. But Han Xue, don’t forget, we agents have a rule from the day we join: we can die for the mission. So my attack is only natural. And from what I know, Silver Fox will definitely let you go. Otherwise, he wouldn’t deserve to be my idol.”
Li Ke looked at Han Xue with a “you’re such an idiot” expression.
Although Duan Yu could withstand bullets, he wasn’t a god. With such a wide-area attack, he couldn’t possibly reach everyone. He could only focus on his vital points. He had already been shot twice while dodging. One in his back, one in his shoulder. The bullet to his left shoulder also weakened the defense of his left hand.
“Silver Fox, stop. Surrender or you’ll only have death.”
Li Ke calmly stopped his men’s attack.
The main reason for dealing with Silver Fox wasn’t to kill him, but to get the M country’s military weapons manufacturing blueprints from him.
"Although I, Silver Fox, am not a tough guy, I still have my blood. You came to capture me just because you wanted the weapon manufacturing blueprints? That's absolutely impossible. Let me tell you the truth, I destroyed the blueprints long ago."
After saying this, Silver Fox suddenly jumped towards the edge of the building, intending to escape. Li Ke waved his hand, and the special forces soldiers beside him immediately began their attack.
Just as Duan Yu was about to be riddled with bullets, a thunderclap suddenly rang out. A dazzling bolt of lightning struck Duan Yu directly. Boom! A loud explosion. The dazzling light made Han Xue and Li Ke involuntarily shield their eyes with their hands. But the special forces soldiers around them did not stop attacking. A large number of gunshots could be heard.
The light faded. A deep crater appeared on the ground where the lightning had struck. Duan Yu's body had disappeared from the spot.
Li Ke and the others looked on with confusion. Li Ke pulled out a walkie-talkie and said directly, "Black Hawk, did you spot Silver Fox escaping just now?"
"No! According to the video, Silver Fox was struck by lightning and reduced to ashes."
A helicopter was circling overhead. A man wearing an infrared X-ray vision device observed the situation below. The appearance of the lightning had startled him, but he had still carefully observed Silver Fox being struck by lightning.
Han Xue, upon hearing this, felt an immense sense of loss.
The next day, Chinese television broadcast the news of the death of the world's top thief, Silver Fox Duan Yu, for resisting arrest. Other countries around the world were in an uproar. Silver Fox was a target for all nations. Unexpectedly, he was killed in China after resisting arrest. This was something they hadn't anticipated.
Especially since the US's Silver Fox didn't just steal the weapon manufacturing blueprints, but also wiped out all the design data he had saved. Two years ago, the US finally made a technological breakthrough and created a new type of combat material, but before they could even study it, all the data was stolen. Even the person who developed the technology was killed by Silver Fox. This is what the US hates the most.

Chapter 4 Transmigrated!
Thud! The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground rang out. Duan Yu fell heavily to the ground. "Ouch, that hurts! Damn it, the heavens actually struck me with lightning!"
Duan Yu let out a wolfish howl. The lightning strike had caused him immense pain. Now, his clothes were tattered, and he was completely blackened. His hair stood on end, making him look as miserable as could be.
Suddenly, Duan Yu realized something was wrong. Logically, being struck by lightning should have meant death or falling from the third floor, but the situation around him was completely different.
He struggled to his feet and looked around. "Huh, why doesn't my left shoulder hurt anymore? And I can't feel my back either. What's going on?"
Duan Yu said, stretching his body.
He clearly had gunshot wounds on his shoulder and back, but now, apart from his tattered clothes, the injuries had miraculously healed.
Straightening up, he couldn't help but shout with delight. To his left, a massive waterfall cascaded down the cliff like a jade dragon, pouring into a crystal-clear lake. The waterfall continuously poured in, yet the lake wasn't overflowing, suggesting there was another outlet. The water churned where the waterfall entered, but just ten feet away, the lake became as smooth as a mirror. The moon shone into the lake, its reflection mirroring a bright, full moon.
Where was he? Such beautiful scenery was definitely not found in Shanhai City. Unable to figure it out, Duan Yu stopped thinking about it. Now, in his disheveled state, he needed to wash himself first. He quickly stripped off his clothes and jumped into the lake with a splash.
A refreshing coolness washed over him. After swimming casually for a couple of moments, Duan Yu dove down. Just as he submerged, a young man in a blue robe, also disheveled, emerged from the side, clearing away thorns. The young man's expression was similarly filled with astonishment, clearly marveling at the valley's condition. He
surveyed his surroundings and walked straight towards the lake. He noticed Duan Yu's clothes lying nearby and, out of curiosity, picked them up. "Huh. What kind of clothing is this? It's so strange. I've never seen such bizarre clothes while traveling throughout the Song Dynasty,"
the young man murmured. Suddenly, he felt something flash before his eyes—two strange daggers. He immediately took the daggers in his hands. After casually testing them a couple of times, he found that the daggers were incredibly sharp, capable of cutting through hair and jade with ease.
"Such divine weapons, to think they'd appear in this valley. It's a shame I don't like martial arts. Otherwise, with these two weapons, I could be a chivalrous knight. But it doesn't matter. I was just wondering how to explain this sneaking out to my father. With these weapons, he'll definitely be overjoyed."
The boy finished speaking and prepared to put the dagger away.
Just as he was about to put it away, someone suddenly burst out of the water. "You little thief, how dare you steal my weapons! Put them down right now!"
Duan Yu was furious at the person in front of him. He was a world-class master thief. He had only gone to take a bath, and someone dared to steal his things. This was truly intolerable. He
moved swiftly and grabbed the boy with a grappling move. The boy was terrified. He knew he had done something wrong. He had thought this was an uninhabited valley, and there was no one there, so he had taken the dagger without thinking. Now that he knew it belonged to someone, he immediately said, "Brother, I'm sorry, I really didn't know this dagger belonged to someone. Please forgive me."
Upon hearing this, Duan Yu didn't stop. He didn't know it belonged to someone? What a joke! He was just wondering who had moved him here. Now that someone had appeared, he didn't care who it was, he'd take them down first.
He easily grabbed the girl's arm and twisted it behind her back, then kicked the boy's knee with his left foot, causing the boy to kneel down on one knee.
"Brother, listen to me, this is really a misunderstanding,"
the boy said anxiously.
"Shut up, don't speak until I say something,"
Duan Yu said coldly. He kicked off the clothes with his toe. He grabbed Duan Yu with his right hand. Ignoring that his underwear was still wet, he quickly put his clothes on.
"Now tell me, who are you? And where is this place?"
Duan Yu said leisurely.
"Brother, I don't know where this place is either. My name is Duan Yu. I came here to travel and enjoy the scenery,"
the boy said.
"You saying your name is Duan Yu is utterly laughable,"
Duan Yu laughed loudly. This guy's clothes were strange enough, but he even claimed to be Duan Yu. Didn't he even take a piss and look at himself in the mirror? Was the Silver Fox Duan Yu so easy to
impersonate? "Tell me, who are you? If you keep spouting nonsense, don't blame me for being impolite," Duan Yu twisted his right hand. The boy's face immediately turned pale. However, he didn't even utter a sound, which Duan Yu found quite convincing. It seemed this man was a man of courage.
"Brother, I really am Duan Yu. I'm absolutely not lying. I'm from Dali. I was just being chased by the Wuliang Sword Sect and fell off this cliff,"
the boy said solemnly.
Duan Yu immediately froze. Dali, the Wuliang Sword Sect... All of this seemed so familiar.
"The Dali Duan Clan, the Wuliang Sword Sect. Do you think this is a movie? Are you going to tell me you call Duan Yu's father Duan Zhengchun? Kid, be honest, understand? If you don't want to suffer, just say so. My patience is limited."
Duan Yu finally remembered why the Dali Duan Clan and the Wuliang Sword Sect were so familiar. It turned out they were from the novel *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*. Thinking about it, the reason he was in this situation was because of the fabricated Dali Duan Clan Duan Yu's use of the [Lingbo Weibu].
"Brother, if you really don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. Kill me if you want. But before you kill me, I have a request. Can you do me a favor?"
the young man said silently.
"I didn't say I wanted to kill you. You really are Duan Yu! So this is the Northern Song Dynasty? The reign of Emperor Zhezong of the Northern Song Dynasty, 1094 AD!"
Duan Yu tried hard to suppress his excitement.
If all of this was true, then this was the world of *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*. Qiao Feng, Duan Yu, Murong Fu—characters previously only seen in novels—are all alive here.
Most importantly, beauties like Wang Yuyan, Zhong Ling'er, and Li Qiushui are all present. Hahaha! Thinking of this, Duan Yu could no longer contain his excitement and burst into laughter. At the same time, he silently apologized: "Xu Zhu! Xu Zhu! I'm truly sorry. I'll solve the Linglong Chess Game. I'll become the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect. And all the beauties of the Lingjiu Palace, here I come!"

Chapter 5: To Kill or Not to Kill Duan Yu! Worth Considering! Silver Fox snapped out of his daydream (ps: from this point on, the protagonist will be temporarily referred to as Silver Fox). He loosened his grip on 'Duan Yu,' 　　saying with a smile, "Sorry, it was all a misunderstanding
. How did you end up being chased by the Wuliang Sword Sect?"

Before 'Duan Yu' could speak as he stood up, both of them froze, simultaneously astonished that the other looked exactly like them. When Silver Fox realized he resembled Duan Yu, a wicked thought suddenly took hold. Silver Fox admitted he wasn't an upright person; he'd read plenty of the novel *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils* in the modern world. Frankly, what he disliked most about Duan Yu was his indecisiveness. If it weren't for his cotton-candy-like spirit, he would never have been able to win over Wang Yuyan. And now, if he wanted to woo Wang Yuyan, Duan Yu was a major obstacle.
To kill him or not to kill him—that was a question worth considering. If he killed him now, he could inherit his title as the prince of the Dali Duan family. He would become the emperor of Dali. At that time, having three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines would no longer be a dream.
After thinking for a long time, Silver Fox decided to postpone the matter. According to 'Duan Yu,' he had fallen here while being chased by the Wuliang Sword Sect. In other words, according to the records of Tianlong, this is the time when Duan Yu is entering the Langhuan Blessed Land of Wuliang Mountain for the first time.
Let's wait until we enter the Langhuan Blessed Land before making any decisions. Then, as long as I get the Lingbo Weibu and the Five Poisons item first, that's enough.
"Who are you? Why do you look exactly like me?"
'Duan Yu' asked in surprise. At this moment, a thought flashed through his mind: could this person be his father's illegitimate son? It didn't seem impossible. His father was known for his philandering; it wasn't impossible for him to have children outside the marriage. If it weren't for his father's philandering, his mother wouldn't have left him.
"What's so surprising about that? The world is full of wonders; it's not a big deal if two people look alike,"
Silver Fox said casually, suppressing his surprise.
"Is that so? I was mistaken. May I ask your name, brother, and why you are here?"
'Duan Yu' asked, straightening his posture.
Silver Fox looked at him and, sure enough, saw a bookworm. Besides being lecherous, Duan Yu was also notoriously pedantic. However, Silver Fox dared not underestimate him. Despite his seemingly foolish nature, Duan Yu later proved to be a shrewd strategist in *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*.
"My surname is also Duan, and my given name is Yu,"
Silver Fox replied without hesitation.
"Duan Yu! It seems we are indeed destined to be together. My name is Duan Yu, and yours is Duan Yu. I think we should become sworn brothers,"
Duan Yu said.
"Sworn brothers? Are you sure? You know you know nothing about my personality. Besides, you're the prince of Dali; perhaps that's not a good idea?"
Silver Fox said, feigning surprise. Duan Yu's current behavior was almost identical to that of the Duan Yu in Jin Yong's novels. Of course, he was the same when he met Qiao Feng. And now it was the same.
"What's wrong with that? Since you're also named Duan Yu, I believe you're definitely not a truly evil person. Even if you were, I'd accept it. After all, we hit it off immediately!"
Duan Yu displayed unparalleled magnanimity at this moment. He really did have a bit of the image of a eccentric scholar.
"Since you say so, brother, then what reason do I have to refuse?"
Silver Fox said loudly.
"I am twenty-one years old this year. May I ask your age, brother?"
Duan Yu asked.
"It seems you have to be younger, brother. I am twenty-two years old today, just one year older than expected."
The two chatted for a while, and Duan Yu was just as described in the original work. He was extremely hospitable and loved making friends. Soon, he and Silver Fox were talking about everything. Silver Fox sighed inwardly. He could only apologize to 'Duan Yu'. There were countless masters in Tianlong, and the One-Finger Divine Skill and Six-Meridian Divine Sword of the Dali Duan family were even more unparalleled. Since he had come to this era, he could not live a dull life. Since he had come here, he should live a magnificent life. Besides, his grand dream was still there.
Time passed quietly, and soon the sun was setting in the west. A rainbow appeared on the lake, incomparably beautiful. The two looked at this beautiful scene with different expressions. Duan Yu stared blankly at the rainbow, a somber sigh escaping his lips.
"Second brother, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about some girl?"
Silver Fox teased. He knew Duan Yu was thinking of Zhong Ling'er. According to the plot, Duan Yu should be searching for Zhong Ling'er's mother. His fall into the Boundless Valley was, in a way, his own destiny. But now, it wasn't his. Silver Fox dared not confide in Duan Yu too much, fearing he might be unable to act on it later.
"I can't hide anything from you, elder brother. To be honest, I'm thinking about a woman. But I have no way to get out of this valley, trapped here, not knowing how,"
Duan Yu said blankly.
"A woman? What woman? Tell me, elder brother!"
Silver Fox asked.
“To be honest, brother, I only met this woman today. Her name is Zhong Ling. But she's trapped here. I have to rescue her. But I have no martial arts skills whatsoever. If only I had learned some from my father, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state now.”
Duan Yu finished speaking and took out an embroidered shoe, gently touching it.
“Brother, you're doing well. The girl even gave you an embroidered shoe.”
“Brother, please forgive my rudeness. This is just a token Zhong Ling asked me to find for her mother,”
Duan Yu replied.
Silver Fox didn't speak further. He thought to himself, “Brother, I'll deliver the token for you.” At the same time, he sighed, realizing he couldn't delay any longer. He feared that if he developed feelings for this Duan Yu, it would be disastrous. Silver Fox couldn't bring himself to harm his brother. When he swore brotherhood with Duan Yu earlier, it wasn't really a formal oath, because Silver Fox had carefully explained the situation to Guanyin at that time.
"Sister Guanyin, please don't take what I'm saying seriously. Since you heard my prayer in the mortal world, don't worry, I certainly won't let you down. After I've slept with all the beauties in Tianlong, I'll definitely find a way to return to reality and buy you a miniskirt."
If Guanyin really existed, I wonder what she would think if she heard Duan Yu's prayer.
(Fellow wolves, what do you think? Should I kill Duan Yu? Come on, leave your comments in the book review section.
(How about it, have you reached a conclusion yet? I think most of you would have the same thought, which is to kill him! What's our motto! Duan Yu, the stand-in, hunts beauties in Tianlong. Mercy is not impossible, but one thing must be clear. Anyone who stands in the way of the protagonist's hunt for beauties must be killed!

Chapter 6 The Death of Duan Yu!
Night fell quickly, and the stars in the sky were clearly visible in the valley. Silver Fox looked up at the sky, and the Ziwei Star shone brightly. Silver Fox had always regarded the Ziwei Star as his natal star. Everyone said that the Ziwei Star was the Emperor Star, but Silver Fox refused to believe in that nonsense.
"Gurgle!"
Suddenly, two strange sounds rang out, attracting Silver Fox's attention. Turning his head, he saw 'Duan Yu' rubbing his stomach and looking at Silver Fox embarrassedly.)
"Please excuse my poor appearance, brother. I'm really starving right now. Let me go see if there's anything to eat nearby."
After saying this, Duan Yu walked away without waiting for Silver Fox's objection. Silver Fox breathed a sigh of relief as he left. Duan Yu was finally beginning his miraculous experience. The reason Duan Yu had been kept here was because, according to the description in *Tian Long Ba Bu*, he would uncover the mystery of the Boundless Jade Disc here. Only he could guide them to the Langhuan Blessed Land.
Duan Yu hadn't gone far when he found a lot of sour fruit. Having studied various schools of thought, he knew very well that it was non-toxic. He immediately picked a few, remembering Silver Fox was still waiting for him, and popped one or two into his mouth. Then he picked many more, preparing to return the way he came.
Back at the original spot, Duan Yu took out the sour fruit he had picked and shared it with Silver Fox. "Brother, do you think we can leave this place? I don't know if there's any way out. The cliffs on both sides are so steep; climbing up is as difficult as ascending to heaven. By the way, brother, how did you get here?"
Duan Yu said, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
"Speaking of which, my brother is quite helpless. He's a man who doesn't fight with the world, always just wanting to live a peaceful life. A few days ago, he traveled to the Wuliang Sword Sect. He couldn't stand a man named Gong Guangjie and got into a fight with him. Unexpectedly, the Wuliang Sword Sect, relying on their numbers, overpowered him. My brother, of course, wasn't going to back down, and during the escape, he was beaten and fell into this valley."
Silver Fox rambled on without batting an eye.
"So that's how it is. Looks like we're both in the same boat,"
Duan Yu said with a sigh.
The night passed without incident, and the morning sun shone into the valley. Duan Yu and Silver Fox searched for a way out early in the morning. Of course, Silver Fox was just pretending; he was waiting for Duan Yu's hint.
After searching for a while, it was soon noon. The two still hadn't found a way out. Duan Yu collapsed to the ground, large drops of sweat falling. The two leaned against a cliff face. Duan Yu casually picked up a sour fruit from the ground and put it in his mouth. This was the only place with food.
"Brother, it seems we truly cannot be born together, but we can die together. We've searched for so long without finding a way out, and the only food here is these few sour fruit trees."
Although Duan Yu said this, there was no sign of disappointment on his face. This was probably due to Duan Yu's optimistic nature.
"Yes, we cannot be born together, but we can die together. It's a pity that you're still a child, unlike your younger brother, who has already enjoyed the pleasures of love."
Silver Fox sighed.
Duan Yu chuckled and remained silent. While searching for a way out, Duan Yu kept telling Silver Fox things. From what he said, Silver Fox felt that it wasn't quite as sensual as what Mr. Jin had described. What Duan Yu told him was extremely erotic. This kid had already tasted the flavors of women when he was thirteen.
He had basically tasted all the women in the Dali Palace. However, he really didn't like practicing martial arts. This time, he came out because his father forced him to practice martial arts. While listening to him, Silver Fox thought to himself countless times that he was a fool.
He was clearly a womanizer, yet he didn't know how to arm himself. In this age where martial arts reign supreme, the first crucial thing to have when trying to woo a beautiful woman was to possess formidable martial arts skills. Ideally, he should have the kind of skill that allowed him to show off at any time. Take the Duan family's martial arts, for example. The Six Meridian Divine Sword and the One-Finger Divine Skill are incredibly ethereal.
He's even met the prerequisite for becoming a "wolf friend" (a term used to describe someone who is attractive to men). And yet he calls himself a "wolf friend.
" "By the way, it seems we haven't looked here yet. This is it!"
Duan Yu suddenly stood up and pointed to the sour fruit tree behind him.
"Yes. We haven't looked here yet,"
Silver Fox replied. In his heart, however, he thought, "You finally remembered we haven't looked here, that's quite something." Finally, everything was proceeding according to plan. Once Duan Yu achieved his upgrade, it would be his death.
Parting the fruit tree, what appeared before him was a smooth jade wall. Duan Yu looked at Silver Fox sheepishly. It was all for nothing.
"Brother, this seems to be the Boundless Jade Wall those people from the Boundless Sword Sect were talking about. Now we have no hope left. Brother, why don't we carve a few words on this Boundless Jade Wall? Let's carve the character 'Duan.' We both have the surname Duan. It will let future generations know that two people with the surname Duan died here."
Duan Yu suddenly suggested.
"Alright. You carve it. Here, you can use my dagger first."
Silver Fox took out a dagger and said. Duan Yu immediately took the dagger from Silver Fox's hand. Just as he was about to take it, Silver Fox gripped it tightly. "Brother, what's wrong?"
Duan Yu asked in surprise.
"Nothing, take it!"
Silver Fox said and let go. Duan Yu
took the dagger without thinking much and immediately turned around to carve the character "Duan" on the Boundless Jade Wall. But as soon as he finished carving the last stroke of the character "Duan," his body suddenly went limp. Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he collapsed onto the jade wall.
Silver Fox looked at Duan Yu's fall, and at this moment, he didn't know how to describe his feelings. Duan Yu died just like that. Back when I read *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*, although I didn't particularly admire Duan Yu, Silver Fox still thought highly of him. After all, logically speaking, Duan Yu was the true protagonist of *Demi-Gods and
Semi-Devils*. Just now, when Silver Fox handed Duan Yu the dagger, he hesitated. Actually, Silver Fox had a small spike attached to the end of the dagger. It wouldn't normally appear; this dagger was a powerful weapon Silver Fox had created by combining weapon data he stole in the US. Its function wasn't just that.
It had many mechanisms on it, like the one that killed Duan Yu—a new type of hormone virus. Killing without a trace. He
bent down and helped Duan Yu's body up. Looking at this person who looked exactly like himself, he searched Duan Yu's body for a while, taking out a waist token of the Dali Duan royal family, a fan, and the embroidered shoes. He sighed again. Silver Fox took out a small silver bottle and dripped a drop onto Duan Yu's body. With a hissing white smoke, this playboy from *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils* vanished into thin air.
"Second brother, don't blame your elder brother for being heartless. May you have a safe journey. I will fulfill your wishes. I will take care of your beauties. Don't worry, I will also protect your aunt and will never let her suffer from Duan Zhengchun's bullying again."
*** (Fellow wolves, this is the end. Hehe. Duan Yu is finally dead. Sigh! I feel so evil. Da da da. Such a handsome young man died at my hands. I spent a lot of time building up these two chapters, Duan Yu, sigh! I just wanted to lessen the guilt, but who knew it would get more and more evil.
A heads-up: after the protagonist, Silver Fox Duan Yu, learns martial arts and leaves Wuliang Mountain, this book will begin its lewdness. The chapters you brothers have been waiting for will officially begin. How about it? If you like this book, please vote hard! Let the votes and collections come in droves!

Chapter 7: Unscrupulous Thoughts!
After handling everything properly, Silver Fox ate sour fruit while waiting for nightfall.) The sun quietly set, and the bright moon hung high in the sky. Its light spilled into the valley, reflecting on the lake's surface.
Duan Yu (the protagonist's name began to reappear) stood quietly beside the Boundless Jade Wall. He knew that soon his shadow would appear on the opposite wall—what the Boundless Sword Sect called the Immortal Sword Dance.
Sure enough, after a short while, moonlight shone through Duan Yu, casting his shadow, which reflected into the lake and then refracted through the water to appear on the opposite jade wall. Duan Yu
wasn't surprised by any of this. As someone from modern society, he understood these simple principles, and having thoroughly read *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*, these things were nothing new to him.
Duan Yu completely ignored the figure on the jade wall, focusing instead on the single character "Duan" he had carved. The perspective shifted silently, and after an unknown amount of time, the shadow of a longsword appeared beneath the character "Duan." The sword shadow was exceptionally clear; the hilt, guard, blade, and tip were all perfectly replicated. The tip pointed downwards, and the shadow emitted a rainbow-like halo, shimmering and shifting erratically. Though called a longsword, it was actually incredibly small. Without the guidance of the character
"Duan," it would have been completely overlooked. Silver Fox, unlike Duan Yu, didn't share his sentiments. Since the sword shadow had appeared, he followed its directions to a rock.
Reaching the rock, Duan Yu pushed it. He discovered that the rock wasn't as heavy as the book described—about one or two thousand jin. It was at most about five hundred jin. It seemed this was all because that bookworm, Duan Yu, hadn't practiced martial arts properly. He had misjudged the weight of the stone with his meager strength.
Duan Yu focused his mind and breath, channeling his energy into his dantian. With a powerful shout, "Open!"
the rocks trembled, revealing a cave about three feet high. Looking at the cave, Duan Yu's heart began to pound.
Life truly is unpredictable! In reality, he had only tried to steal the Lingbo Weibu manual and had already been ambushed by Chinese special agents. And now, the Lingbo Weibu manual was right here in this cave. How could he not be excited? He
took a deep breath to suppress his excitement and stepped inside. Entering the passage, Duan Yu found it increasingly sloping and dark. He fumbled in his pocket and pulled out a glow stick. As a thief, he had quite a few tools. He hadn't forgotten anything he carried. After
walking for a while, a large door appeared before him. The door had a copper ring and about ten nails. Duan Yu took the copper ring and pushed. The door creaked open.
Entering the cave, Duan Yu dared not be careless. Who knew if things would truly be as described in the original text? He proceeded cautiously with every step, ready to strike at any moment.
The cave was filled with a musty smell, indicating it had truly been uninhabited for a long time. Another door appeared nearby, and Duan Yu immediately walked towards it. It was a circular stone chamber with a crystal skylight beside it. The bottom of Wuliang Sword Lake! Duan Yu understood immediately. He also admired Wuya. This kid certainly knew how to live; he had long since enjoyed the underwater world that only existed in the modern world.
Back then, Wuya Zi had beauties here, living a carefree and happy life.
Inside the chamber was a stone table with a stool in front of it. On the table sat a bronze mirror, and beside the mirror were some combs and hairpins, indicating it was a woman's quarters. The bronze mirror was covered in verdigris, and the table was covered in dust, suggesting it had been uninhabited for countless years.
After looking around, Duan Yu walked to the side and pushed open the stone wall to the southwest, following the reflection in the bronze mirror. The stone wall opened with a thud, revealing a staircase. After climbing more than ten steps, another door appeared.
Duan Yu immediately placed his right hand on the door, ready to push it open. At that moment, Duan Yu felt anticipation. Was it really as described in the book—that the statue of Wu Yazi's junior sister, Li Canghai, was behind this door? Was she truly as beautiful as a celestial being?
Before he could think further, the door opened, and Duan Yu froze. He felt an electric current surge through his body. He thought he was in love! The ancients were right!
Before him stood a beautiful woman in palace attire, holding a long sword pointed at him. No amount of celestial beauty, nor descriptions of breathtaking beauty, moon-eclipsing charm, or other such phrases could adequately capture the woman's allure. Even though Duan Yu knew it was merely a jade carving, he couldn't deny his electrifying effect.
This only strengthened his resolve to win over Li Qiushui, regardless of whether she was now the Empress of Western Xia. As for Li Qiushui's disfigurement in the original story, Duan Yu didn't dwell on it. With him, a top-tier modern thief, a minor disfigurement was utterly insignificant. During the two years Duan Yu spent in hiding in the modern world, he dedicated himself to one profession: cosmetic surgery for beautiful women. Duan Yu considered it the most sacred thing.
His clinic was unique; he only accepted disfigured women. He refused to do business with any other women who simply wanted to enhance their appearance.
Whether it was burns, cuts, or other injuries, with his exceptional skills, everything was trivial to Duan Yu. His medical skills, if not surpassing Hua Tuo, were certainly comparable to Bian Que. The items stolen by the Divine Thieves were numerous, including many traditional Chinese medicine books. They even possessed Hua Tuo's handwritten copy. Getting back to the point, Duan Yu calling the statue "Fairy Sister" was entirely accurate. Duan Yu walked straight to the statue and touched it. His heart was captivated. Although he was touching a jade figure, he fantasized about touching a real person.
What would it look like if he took off this jade sculpture's clothes! That old lecher, Wu Yazi, dared to steal his wife first! Humph! That damned Wu Yazi, wait until I master the Northern Darkness Divine Skill. Then I'll break your exquisite chess puzzle and absorb all your power.
Duan Yu's thoughts were extremely domineering. He naturally considered Li Canghai his wife. Duan Yu turned to look at his surroundings; many of Zhuangzi's poems were inscribed on the nearby stone wall.
"On Mount Miaogushe, there dwells a divine being, her skin like snow, graceful as a virgin, who does not eat grains, but drinks the wind and dew."
Wu Yazi's description of Canghai is entirely accurate.
(Here, I should remind everyone that you've probably all seen the movie version of *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*, the one starring Brigitte Lin and Gong Li. So my setting here is similar; rest assured, Li Qiushui and the others definitely retain their youthful appearances. As for Li Qiushui, I'll leave you with a mystery: do you think it's better if she's a virgin? Or...?
Duan Yu crouched down to carefully observe Li Canghai's slender feet. Sure enough, one of her embroidered shoes had the inscription "Kowtowing a thousand times, serving my command" on the right shoe, and "Obeying my command, a hundred deaths without regret" on the left.
) "Head! To kowtow or not to kowtow! Worth considering!" After thinking for a while, Duan Yu decided to kowtow. After all, the secret manuals like Lingbo Weibu were all in the mechanisms below. It wouldn't be good if something went wrong. He immediately knelt on the prayer mat and said, "My dear wife Canghai, just wait for me. How dare you make your husband kowtow to me now? I'll come find you after I've mastered the martial arts. Don't think I don't know you're hiding in Shaolin Temple. I'm not that stupid 'Duan Yu.' I'll make you feel like you're in heaven!" After
saying that, he began to kowtow one by one!

Chapter 8 Mastering the Secret
Manuals While kowtowing, Duan Yu counted, "Nine hundred and ninety-seven, nine hundred and ninety-eight, nine hundred and ninety-nine, one thousand!"
Finally, the one thousand was reached! Duan Yu felt dizzy and disoriented. Suddenly, something shot out from the prayer mat in front of the jade carving.
Actually, Duan Yu had considered simply breaking the prayer mat to avoid kowtowing. He had only done it this way for the sake of complete consideration.
Picking up the object, he saw it was a silk pouch! The pouch was about a foot long, with several lines of fine writing on the white silk: "Since you have kowtowed a thousand times, you shall serve me without regret for the rest of your life. This scroll contains the essential martial arts of my Free and Unfettered Sect. Publish it three times a day, at dawn, noon, and dusk..." "You must diligently practice this skill once; if you slacken even slightly, I will be heartbroken. Once you have mastered this divine skill, you can go to the Langhuan Blessed Land to peruse all kinds of classic texts. The martial arts techniques of all schools in the world are gathered there, and they can all be used by you. Strive hard! Strive hard! After you have mastered it, descend the mountain and kill all the disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect for me. If even one is missed, I will regret it forever, both in heaven and on earth."
Upon reading this, Duan Yu sighed slightly. From this, we can see that Li Canghai still cherishes Wu Yazi. Of course, Duan Yu would not kill all the disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect. Since he was going to become the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, he naturally had to ensure the safety of his disciples.
He then opened the silk bundle, revealing a rolled-up silk scroll inside. Unfolding it, the first line read "Northern Darkness Divine Skill," the characters elegant yet powerful, matching the style of the writing on the outside of the bundle. Following this was: "Zhuangzi's 'Free and Easy Wandering' says: 'North of the desolate lands lies the Dark Sea, the Heavenly Pool. There are fish there, their breadth spanning thousands of miles, their length unknown.' It also says: 'Furthermore, if the water is not deep enough, it cannot support a large boat. If you pour a cup of water onto a shallow pond, a mustard seed can float on it; but if you place the cup there, it will stick, because the water is shallow and the boat is large.' Therefore, the first principle of our school's martial arts is accumulating internal energy. With abundant internal energy, all martial arts in the world can be used by me, just as the Northern Darkness can carry both large and small boats, and accommodate both large and small fish. Therefore, internal energy is fundamental, techniques are secondary. The following diagrams must be diligently practiced."
Indeed, it was the Northern Darkness Divine Skill. The following diagrams were what Duan Yu had been most eagerly anticipating. As the scroll unfurled, Duan Yu's eyes turned bloodshot, his heart pounding. On the scroll lay a reclining portrait of a naked woman, completely naked, her face identical to the jade statue.
"The painting is so skillful; it seems even Canghai's wife painted it herself. A self-portrait by the jade beauty! However, the curves of her breasts and figure are rather lacking. There's still room for improvement!"
Duan Yu commented wistfully.
Turning the scroll over, he saw the naked woman in the painting smiling radiantly, her eyebrows, eyes, lips, and cheeks brimming with allure. While her appearance was similar to the solemn jade statue, her expression was vastly different. A thin green line began at her left shoulder, ran horizontally to her neck, and then diagonally to her right breast. Seeing the woman's prominent breasts, he sighed inwardly. He vowed to paint one himself someday! Looking further, he saw the green line extend to her armpit, down her right arm, past her wrist, and ending at her right thumb.
Another green line extends downwards from the neck, passing through the abdomen and ending a few inches from the navel. Beside that green line are numerous finely inscribed characters: "Yunmen," "Zhongfu," "Tianfu," "Xiabai," "Chize," "Kongzui," "Lieque," "Jingqu," "Dayuan," and "Yuji." These acupoints were, of course, no challenge for Duan Yu. As someone who had studied Hua Tuo's medical classics, recognizing acupoints was extremely easy for him.
Unfolding the scroll slightly further, the following text read: "The Beiming Divine Skill draws upon the internal energy of the world to make it my own. The great waters of Beiming do not arise spontaneously. As the saying goes, 'A hundred rivers flow into the sea,' and the sea's water is formed by containing a hundred rivers. Vast oceans and immense depths are formed through accumulation. This 'Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian' is the first lesson of the Beiming Divine Skill."
Below was a detailed description of the practice method. Finally, it reads: "Most people practice martial arts from Yunmen to Shaoshang, but our Xiaoyao Sect does the opposite, starting from Shaoshang and progressing to Yunmen. When the thumb touches another person, their internal energy enters my body and is stored in acupoints such as Yunmen. However, if the enemy's internal energy is stronger than mine, it's like seawater flowing into a river—extremely dangerous. Be careful, be careful. Our sect's side branches haven't grasped the essentials; they can only neutralize the enemy's internal energy, not draw it in for their own use. It's like taking a thousand gold coins a day and then throwing them away—a wasteful squandering of precious resources, utterly laughable."
After reading the Beiming Divine Skill, Duan Yu immediately unfurled the scroll completely. His first target was the Lingbo Weibu (Lingbo Steps)!
The scroll opened, revealing a series of portraits of nude women, some standing, some lying down, some showing their chests, some their backs. The faces of the women were all similar, but their expressions varied—some joyful, some sorrowful, some gazing with affection, some with slight anger. There were thirty-six images in total, each marked with fine colored lines indicating acupoints and training methods. At the end of the scroll were the four characters "Lingbo Weibu" (凌波微步), followed by countless footprints labeled with terms like "Fumei" (妇妹) and "Wuwang" (无妄), all directions from the I Ching. Duan Yu, who had been diligently studying the I Ching just days before, was instantly invigorated upon seeing these names, as if encountering an old friend. The footprints were densely packed, numbering in the hundreds or thousands, each connected by a green line with arrows, indicating a complex footwork technique. Finally, a line read: "In case of a sudden encounter with a powerful enemy, use this to protect yourself, accumulate internal energy, and then take the enemy's life."
Seeing this Lingbo Weibu, Duan Yu was truly shocked. In fact, this was the reason he had risked everything to steal it in reality. Lingbo Weibu could be considered the most miraculous martial art in the world, extremely powerful for cultivating internal energy. While increasing his speed, he could also continuously increase his internal energy.
Each step of the Lingbo Weibu (Lingbo Steps) would circulate his internal energy once. Continuous movement meant continuously deepening his internal energy. This martial art was deeply loved by Duan Yu. It allowed him to cultivate without much time commitment and also provided an opportunity to flirt with women while practicing martial arts. It was a win-win situation.
There were no bedding or clothes in the room, only a seven-stringed zither hanging on the wall, its strings all broken. To the left of the bed was a stone table with a nineteen-line chessboard carved on it, containing over two hundred pieces. The black and white pieces were locked in a standoff, the game unfinished. The zither remained, the game unfinished, but the beauty was gone. Duan Yu,
familiar with the historical allusions, didn't care much about these things. Frankly, these were just romantic entanglements. Back then, both Tianshan Tonglao and Li Qiushui were in love with their Xiaoyao Sect's senior disciple. They each used various methods to win his favor.
The most unfortunate one was Tianshan Tonglao, who, due to practicing the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Supreme Technique, remained in a youthful state. She was always resentful about this, feeling that her physique was insufficient to please Wuyazi. Driven by jealousy, she seized an opportunity to disfigure Li Qiushui's face.
Tianshan Tonglao began practicing the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Supreme Technique at the age of six! As a result, she experienced her first rejuvenation at the age of thirteen, becoming a six-year-old child. She would regress every ten years.
This was actually due to her own inferiority complex. A cute thirteen-year-old girl would actually be considered a stunningly beautiful loli.
(I forget if Tianshan Tonglao actually regressed at thirteen! Readers, just consider this pure fantasy.) While the two were fighting, they didn't know that Wuyazi had always loved someone—Li Canghai, Li Qiushui's sister. This is also why this jade carving exists. Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui once lived in seclusion here, but Wu Yazi openly demanded the construction of this jade sculpture. He also spent his days gazing at it. At first, Li Qiushui thought it was observing her, but as time passed, she realized it wasn't her. Later, heartbroken after her face was disfigured, she left.
As for these martial arts manuals, they were actually created later by Li Canghai. Chronologically, this should have been after Wu Yazi's misfortune. Otherwise, she wouldn't have written "kill all members of the Xiaoyao Sect" in the manuals.
(Many people here probably think it's hard to believe that Xiaodao said Li Canghai was in Shaolin last time. Xiaodao will keep you in suspense for now. One thing to note is that this book is not only based on the novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". Xiaodao will also combine the movie and some analysis posts on Baidu about the mystery of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils"! So please forgive any inconsistencies.
After looking around for a while, Duan Yu stopped looking at his surroundings and began to practice his martial arts. He practiced according to the drawing. He read the small print after the first picture several times. Such textual skills were like a piece of cake for him. He understood it after reading it once, remembered it after reading it a second time, and had a tacit understanding after reading it a third time.
The text said: "The internal energy of our sect is contrary to the internal energy of other schools. Therefore, all those who have practiced internal energy must forget their previous learning and concentrate on practicing the new energy. If there is any confusion or disorder, the two energy will clash, and they will immediately go crazy, vomit blood, and all meridians will be destroyed. This is the most...") It was extremely dangerous. The text repeatedly emphasized this crucial point. Duan Yu, upon reading this, fell silent, deciding to abandon the martial arts of the Divine Thief Sect. After some thought, he decided to give it up as well.
In any case, the internal energy cultivation method of the Divine Thief Sect was no longer perfect, so giving it up wasn't a big deal.
The scroll also detailed the positions of the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching. Duan Yu was also familiar with the I Ching in reality, so learning it wasn't difficult. However, sometimes the footwork on the scroll was very strange. After taking one step, he couldn't follow the next step until he realized he had to turn around in mid-air to connect the steps skillfully and naturally. Sometimes, he had to leap forward and backward, dart left and right, to match the footwork on the scroll. The more Duan Yu looked, the more he discovered the extraordinary nature of the Lingbo Weibu (Lingbo Steps). This footwork contained the profound principles of the I Ching. It could be said to encompass everything. No wonder that after Duan Yu, no one else in the Dali Duan family had mastered the Lingbo Weibu! Of course, there was one exception: Duan Ziyu. "The Playful Old Man" is another story.
Back then, Duan Yu almost became paralyzed after rashly attempting to practice the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) without fully understanding it. Duan Yu didn't want to suffer the same fate. After carefully observing for a while and confirming that he could execute all the footwork techniques, Duan Yu began to practice. The sixty-four hexagram footwork techniques drawn on the scroll started from "Ming Yi" (明夷), passing through "Ben" (贲), "Ji Ji" (既济), and "Jia Ren" (家人), covering all sixty-four hexagrams, completing a large circle to "Wu Wang" (无妄). Sixty-four hexagrams totaled over a hundred steps.
Of course, a hundred steps wasn't a fixed number. Each step could be said to have dozens of variations.
Time passed quickly, and Duan Yu had spent about ten days in the valley. During these ten days, Duan Yu ate sour fruit to stave off hunger, and after eating, he diligently practiced the footwork.
Now, Duan Yu was seen running rapidly around the valley. Each step he took was extremely graceful. The Lingbo Weibu! It was originally created for women. It wasn't surprising that Duan Yu walked it like this.
Now, even walking at full speed, Duan Yu's breath was no longer suffocated. With his mind at ease, as he took each step, he gradually recalled the verses related to the "Lingbo Weibu" (Lingbo Steps) from the "Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River": "Like light clouds veiling the moon, like swirling snow in a flowing wind," "Suddenly leaping, soaring and playing," "Divine light separating and merging, sometimes shadow, sometimes light," "A lithe body standing like a crane, as if about to fly but not yet soaring," "A swift body like a flying duck, elusive as a god," "Movement without constancy, sometimes dangerous, sometimes safe. Advancement and stop unpredictable, sometimes going, sometimes returning." In these ten days, Duan Yu had not only practiced Lingbo but also the Beiming Divine Art. His martial arts had improved in a way that was incomparable to what he had before. Although he didn't yet know his exact strength, Duan Yu was extremely satisfied.
After all, he had a deep understanding that he was now more than ten times stronger than when he first arrived in Tianlong. All of this was because he understood the extraordinary effects of Lingbo Weibu. The "Duan Yu" in the book only knew to practice the steps thoroughly, but didn't know how to diligently cultivate. When he practiced, he skipped the Northern Darkness Divine Art.
In fact, the most basic requirement for practicing the Lingbo Weibu (Lingbo Steps) is having Northern Darkness True Qi. Now, every acupoint on Duan Yu's body can absorb the internal energy of others. However, in the novel *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*, Duan Yu, to avoid killing and stealing others' internal energy, only cultivated the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian and the Ren Meridian, merely going through the motions to appease his conscience, leaving the other meridians aside for the time being.
Calculating the time, Duan Yu decided to leave the valley today. Before leaving, he thoroughly checked the stone chamber. He also checked the Langhuan Blessed Land, and it was indeed empty. Nothing was there; the martial arts manuals, just as described in the original work, had long been taken by the Murong family. He
checked the stone chamber one last time. He took the scroll! He tucked it into his robes. The reason for taking the scroll was simple: it contained numerous erotic pictures. Although not as detailed as erotic paintings, it was better than nothing for a night's chat. Then he walked to the beautiful woman's side. He gently rubbed the jade carving's face. Finally, he gave it a passionate kiss. He thought to himself, "Beautiful ladies of Tianlong, your husband Duan Yu has officially emerged from the mountain. Just wait for my appeasement."
Then he walked out of the stone chamber and resealed the cave.
With a light touch of his toes, he stepped onto the cliff face and, with a few strange movements, ascended straight up. This was the first official demonstration of his supreme lightness skill, the Lingbo Weibu. In just a moment, Duan Yu leaped to the top of the mountain.

Chapter 9: The Northern Darkness Divine Skill
Displays its Power! Actually, Duan Yu had seen a staircase inside the stone chamber when he came out. He knew it led out of Wuliang Valley, but he didn't do so. First, going that way would waste time. Second, he wanted to test the current level of his martial arts.
Ten days had passed, and he didn't know how Zhong Ling'er was doing. It wasn't that he didn't want to go out to save her at first, but rather that he had to consider safety in everything he did. First of all, he wasn't the Duan Yu he had killed. He didn't believe he was so noble as to go to Zhong Ling's mother without knowing the situation.
Zhong Ling's mother had been abandoned by Duan Zhengchun. Although she was now married to Zhong Wanchou, her feelings for Duan Zhengchun hadn't diminished at all.
If he went there and she recognized him as a member of the Duan family, Zhong Wanchou would be consumed by jealousy and rage. Without good martial arts skills, he would likely die there.
Duan Yu was confident that with his current martial arts, rescuing Zhong Ling'er shouldn't be a problem.
Continuously circulating his Lingbo Weibu technique, Duan Yu quickly left the range of the Wuliang Jade Wall. During his journey, Duan Yu didn't feel his internal energy was wasted; in fact, it seemed to have become more abundant. Lingbo Weibu truly lived up to its reputation as the most extraordinary internal energy technique.
In the distance, Duan Yu saw many tall buildings ahead. He guessed without a doubt that this place must be Wuliang Manor. Duan Yu surveyed his surroundings. Duan Yu was still on a hillside surrounded by trees. The sound of flowing water was clearly audible, indicating the presence of a lake nearby.
Descending the slope, Duan Yu headed straight for the spot he had just seen, his Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) moving with undiminished speed through the trees. Reaching a courtyard wall, Duan Yu leaped over it. Upon landing, he immediately sought cover. Once he was sure no one was watching, he cautiously moved forward.
Finding Zhong Ling'er in this vast manor would be extremely difficult, so Duan Yu decided to subdue someone to question her.
Leaning against a rockery, Duan Yu glanced ahead. In the long corridor ahead stood a disciple dressed in the robes of the Wuliang Sword Sect.
Using his Lingbo Weibu, Duan Yu moved with ghostly speed, instantly approaching the man before he could even cry out.
He silenced him abruptly, striking the man's pressure points and moving him to a secluded corner. Then, carefully, he activated the man's speech-impairing pressure point. This was his first time practicing pressure point techniques, and he had succeeded on the first try.
He held the man's chin to prevent him from shouting. "Tell me where you've locked Zhong Ling'er up,"
Duan Yu said coldly.
"Have mercy, sir! I'm just a low-ranking disciple. I have no idea where Zhong Ling'er is ,"
the man cried in terror. "
Tell me the truth, or I'll kill you
immediately," Duan Yu said grimly, slamming his knee into the man's stomach.
The man's face immediately paled, and he convulsed from the kick. It was clear how hard Duan Yu had used.
The man's eyes had clearly flickered when he spoke. Based on Duan Yu's years of experience as a thief, the man was obviously lying.
"I'll talk, I'll talk! Zhong Ling'er is locked up in the west wing. Please, sir, spare me! No, don't kill me!"
the man pleaded. At that moment, Duan Yu held a dagger to his throat.
"Where is the west wing? Tell me clearly,"
Duan Yu said.
After the man finished speaking, Duan Yu tapped the man's forehead with his left hand, knocking him unconscious. Then he headed towards the so-called west wing.
Having just walked through the corridor, a spacious courtyard appeared before him. Suddenly, he heard a soft thud outside the courtyard, like the sound of someone falling heavily to the ground. He
immediately stealthily moved forward, leaping onto the rooftop. Looking down, he saw a group of women, all wearing emerald green cloaks embroidered with black eagles.
Upon seeing this symbol, Duan Yu immediately guessed who they were: the people of Lingjiu Palace! In the era of Tianlong, only the people of Lingjiu Palace would embroider black eagles.
"Zuo Zimu, you still won't admit defeat? Do you really want us to slaughter your Wuliang Palace before you're satisfied?"
said the leading woman in green.
"Holy Envoy, please don't be angry, I admit defeat. Please don't let this affect the members of Wuliang Palace."
The man who had fallen struggled to his feet and said with his head bowed.
"Since that's the case, don't forget the annual tribute, and the antidote for the Life and Death Talisman. As long as you are loyal, I will carefully inform Elder Tong."
The woman said loudly.
Seeing this, Duan Yu understood everything before him. Now was the time for Lingjiu Palace to officially reclaim Wuliang Palace. From now on, Wuliang Palace could no longer be Wuliang Palace, but a member of the seventy-two caves of Lingjiu Palace.
Looking at the women in front of him, Duan Yu felt even more determined to obtain the position of Xiaoyao Sect. Just based on the woman who spoke, although her cloak obscured her true face, Duan Yu could guess from her figure and voice that she was a beauty.
There were twelve graceful women here. These were only low-ranking disciples who had come out to do business. Just imagine what Mei Lan Qiu Ju, who served Elder Tong of Tianshan, would look like.
Ever since the old woman from Tianshan learned she could no longer grow, she had hired many servants to attend to her. These women were all top-tier beauties. The old woman wanted to show them what beauty was, they were just her maids. Although the old woman from Tianshan had a strange temper, she was very kind to her subordinates.
"Who's up there? Get down!"
the woman said coldly.
Duan Yu hadn't expected to be discovered. But after thinking about it, he realized the problem. He had been so engrossed in his fantasies that he hadn't bothered to suppress his aura, which was why he had been discovered. Since he had been discovered, Duan Yu immediately jumped down.
"Oh, it's you. Duan Yu, why are you only coming back now? Where's the antidote?"
a white-robed Taoist priest asked Duan Yu.
Looking at this person, Duan Yu secretly cursed; he had no idea who this person was. Although he was well-versed in the novel *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*, he hadn't memorized everyone in it. His mind raced, but he said aloud, "I didn't get the antidote. Some problems arose, so I came back."
"Huh? You seemed to have used martial arts when you jumped down. How do you know martial arts!"
The white-robed Taoist looked at Duan Yu calmly. Zuo Zimu beside him also looked at Duan Yu, waiting for his reply.
Duan Yu thought to himself, "This is bad." It seemed he had no choice but to strike first. He immediately moved, using the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique). He approached the white-robed man and struck him hard with a palm.
The white-robed man hadn't expected Duan Yu's sudden attack and was startled. He was immediately hit. However, he only took two steps back and countered with a palm strike. Bang! Duan Yu also struck back with a palm strike. The two palms collided, producing a muffled sound. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Duan Yu retreated three steps.
This contact made Duan Yu realize his own strength. He thought he was now a master, but he was defeated in just one move.
Meanwhile, the others around him had already launched their attack. Only the twelve green-robed women remained still.
Duan Yu weaved through the attacks with his Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique). Fortunately, Lingbo Weibu was extremely powerful; otherwise, Duan Yu would have been defeated instantly.
Another person struck Duan Yu's back with a palm, but this time Duan Yu didn't dodge. The attacker didn't care why he didn't dodge, assuming Duan Yu was exhausted. The palm struck Duan Yu's body.
However, upon striking his back, Duan Yu showed no joy; instead, his expression suddenly changed drastically. He suddenly discovered that the internal energy he had unleashed had vanished, while his own internal energy was continuously converging towards the attacker.
At this moment, Zuo Zimu also struck Duan Yu with a palm. Bang bang bang… Accompanied by several sounds, Duan Yu was surrounded by palm strikes. Eight people's palms simultaneously landed on him.
"Quick, attack! This person is strange!"
Zuo Zimu exclaimed in alarm to his subordinates.
Upon hearing this, those nearby rushed forward to attack. However, the moment they made contact with Duan Yu, they were immediately drawn in as well. In the blink of an eye, dozens of people were absorbed by Duan Yu.
At this moment, an astonishing change was taking place within Duan Yu's body. The internal energy of these people was continuously flowing into Duan Yu's dantian. The Northern Darkness Divine Art! Duan Yu was using the Northern Darkness Divine Art. However, he was using it extremely recklessly. With so many people attacking him simultaneously, the flow of internal energy was unimaginable. This internal energy surged violently into him, constantly expanding Duan Yu's meridians, and the pain made Duan Yu break out in a cold sweat. He quickly and rapidly circulated the incantation of the Northern Darkness Divine Art, carefully guiding the internal energy from various parts of his body to his dantian.
Finally, Duan Yu could no longer endure this impact, "Ah~!"
Duan Yu suddenly shouted. Bang bang bang~! All those who were blocking Duan Yu were thrown back. These people were now all mentally exhausted. They stared at Duan Yu as if they had seen a ghost. In that short time, Duan Yu possessed at least thirty years' worth of internal energy.
The marble floor was completely cracked by the tremor.
The white-robed Taoist was none other than Sikong Xuan, the leader of the Divine Dragon Gang. Zuo Zimu was the Palace Master of Wuliang Palace, and there was another person, Xin Shuangqing, the head of the Western Sect of Wuliang Sword. All of this combined made Duan Yu a second-rate master.
"Who are you, and why do you know the martial arts of our Lingjiu Palace? How could you possibly possess the Beiming Divine Skill? Are you perhaps a descendant of Ding Chunqiu, the Old Monster Ding?" the green-robed woman who had spoken earlier questioned loudly. As she finished speaking, eleven women behind her stepped forward and surrounded Duan Yu with their swords drawn.
"Who said I used the Beiming Divine Skill? Beautiful lady, you should look carefully. I use the Six Yang Melting Snow Skill, created by the Dali Duan Clan."
Duan Yu said with a grin.
"The Dali Duan Clan's Six Yang Melting Snow Skill! I've never heard of it."
the woman said.
"It's perfectly normal that you haven't heard of it. This skill was only created recently, and even my father hasn't used it lightly. I wouldn't have used it today if I hadn't been forced to," Duan Yu lied.
"Since that's the case, then I won't let you off the hook. You actually injured one of our Lingjiu Palace's subordinates."
The woman said, and I swung my sword forward. Several women beside me followed at the same time.
The attacks of the twelve women were launched simultaneously. Sword shadows filled the sky, but Duan Yu dodged these attacks as if he were strolling in a garden. As his internal energy increased, Duan Yu clearly found that he was now more adept at using the Lingbo Weibu (Lingbo Steps). Many things that were unclear before suddenly became clear.
*Poof.* A cloak flew out, and then several more. In succession, twelve more cloaks flew out.
"Indeed, a beautiful and lovely girl. I said, why did you cover yourself up so tightly? It would have been much better to show it off like this. Such a gorgeous face, yet you hid it. You really are wasting the bounty of nature."
Duan Yu said with a worried expression.
"You shameless woman!"
the woman in green said fiercely.
"Shameless? I just wanted to make the beauties reveal their true colors."
Duan Yu finished speaking and moved forward in a strange manner, bypassing the green-clad woman's attack. He blocked her with one hand, spun on the ground, lifted her chin with one hand, and quickly pecked her cherry-like lips. Duan Yu released the green-clad woman, laughed loudly, and used his Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to its fullest extent to gracefully depart.
The woman in green, her face flushed crimson, watched Duan Yu flee at breakneck speed and stomped her foot in anger. She vowed to teach him a lesson the next time she saw him. How dare he molest her in front of so many of her sisters!
The women around her burst into laughter. Although the hierarchy in Lingjiu Palace was strict, the women there were very close.
The woman in green glanced at the group from Wuliang Palace, gave a cold snort, and then quietly left with a dozen or so women.
(Hehe. My fellow wolves must be getting impatient. Ta-da. Take your time, okay? We'll develop the story according to the plot. Of course, don't worry, the fantasies are all coming up later. It'll be out soon.

Chapter 10 Wuliang Palace
Duan Yu left the green-clad woman and the others, but he didn't go far. In a few flashes, he arrived at the west wing. He landed lightly in the courtyard of the west wing and saw two disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect talking about something.
"Ding San, what do you think about what's going on outside? Has the Lingjiu Palace been driven away by the sect leader?"
A rather thin man asked the tall man next to him.
"That goes without saying. With our sect leader's strength, that so-called holy envoy is no match for him. Alright, let's not talk about these things anymore. Be careful not to be overheard."
Ding San looked around and said.
"By the way, who is this woman that the sect leader captured? This woman is absolutely gorgeous. Keeping her here is really a feast for the gods."
The thin man said with a lewd grin.)
"Li Si, are you up to something again?"
Ding San asked in a low voice.
"Hehe, Ding San, do you remember what we did last year?"
Li Si's smile deepened.
"Keep your voice down. If it weren't for your temptation, I would never have done something like that last time."
Ding San frowned, looking around in alarm.
"Don't worry, those high-level disciples are all out there risking their lives. Who cares about us? So, do you dare to do it?"
Li Si tilted his head to the left. His words were clear: he was testing Ding San's courage.
"Li Si, are you sure we should do this? If the sect leader finds out, we're both really dead."
Ding San was still a little scared.
"Damn it, Ding San, where did your guts go? So cowardly. You were the one who did the most last year, weren't you? If it weren't for you, we could have played around for much longer!"
Li Si said impatiently.
"But this time the place is different, and this woman's identity is different too."
Ding San said hesitantly.
"It's different, what's different? Did we think the one we did last year was of lower status? She was a newly risen female knight-errant in the martial arts world. So what? Below the two of us, she was still alluring and charming. If you really don't want to, then forget it, I won't force you. But don't say I'm not a good friend afterwards. You stay here and keep watch for me, I'll go myself."
Li Si finished speaking and turned to walk away.
Ding San looked at Li Si's formidable demeanor, a conflicted expression flashing across his face. To do it or not to do it? The question flashed through his mind... The scene before this point:
A year ago, Qin Rushuang, a newly emerged female martial arts master known for her cold and beautiful demeanor, got into a conflict with the Wuliang Sword Sect and was immediately imprisoned by Zuo Zimu.
However, two days later, Qin Rushuang inexplicably disappeared from the Wuliang Sword Sect. This made Zuo Zimu feel extremely embarrassed, but he didn't make a fuss about it. Instead, he suppressed the matter, and no one in the martial arts world knew why the cold and beautiful female martial arts master had suddenly vanished.
And the culprits behind all of this were two unassuming men, Ding San and Li Si. Who could possibly...? Who would have thought that these two low-level martial artists would take Qin Rushuang away!
The scene shifts, following Ding San's memories. He remembers that day he and Li Si were cleaning the martial arts academy. As low-ranking disciples, they shared a common weakness: they were the lowest-ranking martial artists in Wuliang Manor. The other members of the Wuliang Sword Sect didn't take them seriously at all.
Just as they were engrossed in their work, a commotion suddenly broke out. Then, a series of cracking sounds were heard. A moment later, Zuo Zimu walked out first. Returning, Gong Guangjie escorted in a stunningly beautiful woman. She was dressed in a striking red outfit that accentuated her figure.
Her expression was cold and indifferent, radiating murderous intent towards anyone who looked at her. At this moment, her face was contorted with rage, her chest heaving.
Ding San and Li Si had never seen such a beautiful woman before. They stood frozen, brooms in hand, forgetting their work. They were mesmerized! They felt that if they could spend the night with this woman, they would die happy.
"What are you looking at? Come here!"
Gong Guangjie roared at them.
The two quickly grabbed their brooms and went over, bewildered as to what they had done wrong. Gong Guangjie had a terrible reputation in Wuliang. A slight misstep could result in a beating from him.
"Senior Brother Gong, is there something you need?"
Li Si asked cautiously.
"You two lock this woman in the woodshed in the west wing. You'll be temporarily responsible for her custody."
Gong Guangjie finished speaking and tossed Qin Rushuang to them. The two quickly put down their brooms and grabbed the woman, feeling her soft, fragrant body in their hands. A captivating fragrance filled their nostrils! "So beautiful! So fragrant!"
they exclaimed simultaneously. They hadn't expected such a good thing to happen to them.
Although they didn't know who the woman was, they understood from her condition. She had been acupunctured! They immediately led her to the woodshed, enjoying the journey immensely. Although they dared not make any large movements because of the people around them, they kept their distance as they walked... Even as they moved, he would still casually and subtly grope Qin Rushuang's body.
The other disciples watched them with intense envy, never expecting such good fortune. It could be said that the two experienced immense physical and psychological satisfaction at that moment. Gong Guangjie's lack of interest in women was a well-known fact within the Wuliang Sword Sect. They went to the woodshed and
locked Qin Rushuang inside. Qin Rushuang's face was filled with murderous rage. She glared angrily at the two men, gritting her teeth and remaining silent.
Time passed, and soon it was Qin Rushuang's second day of imprisonment in the Wuliang Sword Sect. That day, Li Si suddenly said to Ding San, "Li Si, what do you think of this cold and beautiful heroine?"
"Of course, she's top-notch in both figure and looks!"
Ding San said with an unquestionable expression.
"So, Ding San, do you have any thoughts about her?"
Li Si continued to ask.
"Thoughts! I'd rather die ten years less if I could spend a night with her. But what good would it do? She's a rising star in the martial arts world, a cold and beautiful heroine, and her martial arts are far superior to ours. Besides, she was captured by the sect leader."
Ding San remarked.
"Since you're like that, Li Si, why don't you join in?"
Li Si spoke meaningfully.
Upon hearing Li Si's words, Ding San was immediately stunned! He understood perfectly what Li Si was referring to. He carefully analyzed the pros and cons, but Li Si didn't stop persuading him. Ultimately, desire triumphed over reason. Ding San silently nodded.
The night was dark and windy. Li Si and Ding San, who were watching over Qin Rushuang, were crouching against the door, looking sleepy and snoring.
Time passed quietly, and the night grew deeper. The two who had been sleeping suddenly stood up. Li Si took out a blowpipe and gently slipped it through the crack in the door. Then he blew out a puff of smoke. After about a minute, Li Si opened the door and went inside, leaving Ding San outside to keep watch.
Li Si went in and quickly came out again, carrying Qin Rushuang in his arms! He then closed the wooden door, leaving Ding San there. He carefully carried Qin Rushuang away from the spot. About ten minutes later… Li Si returned and nodded to Ding San. Then the two stood facing each other, palms touching, and with a loud thud, they both collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
The next day, the patrolmen discovered Li Si and Ding San unconscious and immediately reported it to the sect leader. Since both Li Si and Ding San were unconscious, Zuo Zimu didn't make things difficult for them. Given their low strength, he hadn't expected them to be embezzlers.
That night, in a cave, Ding San and Li Si were there. On the ground, Qin Rushuang lay limply. She had been drugged with a sleeping potion. She looked at the two men in fear. At this moment, Li Si had a lewd grin on his face, and Ding San was also chuckling incessantly.
Things were progressing so smoothly; how could they not be happy?
"You, what exactly do you want to do?"
the stunningly beautiful heroine could no longer hold back and shouted.
"Beautiful lady, tell me what we want to do! Qin Rushuang, didn't you look down on us? You never expected this, did you? Don't worry, my brother and I will make you feel like you're in heaven!"
He took off his clothes first.
Li Si, of course, didn't dare to lag behind. Soon, the two were naked, leering as they pounced on Qin Rushuang! Her clothes fluttered as Qin Rushuang lay sprawled on the ground.
Her fair skin was smooth and pink! Her fit figure, maintained through martial arts training, captivated the two men. Coupled with the intense anger on Qin Rushuang's face, it created a kind of sadistic beauty.
Li Si no longer hesitated, his hands touching her full breasts! The smoothness and warmth excited him greatly. Ding San also caressed her exquisite body. Her long, beautiful legs led to delicate feet and pink toes.
The cold and aloof heroine could no longer maintain her icy demeanor. As they kneaded her breasts, which were already erect, soft moans escaped her alluring lips! Her eyes were filled with seductive allure…
A month later, this legendary heroine finally succumbed to the torment of the two men. This was something neither of them had anticipated!
Ding San snapped out of his reverie and looked at Li Si walking ahead. He immediately gave chase. He could no longer suppress the taste of meat he hadn't tasted for a year!
Duan Yu looked at the scene before him, somewhat confused, unsure of what the two were up to. However, he also had a glimmer of understanding! He immediately followed them quietly!
(ps: The lewdness has already begun! We'll be getting down to business soon. I don't need to explain, right? Everyone should know that the plot to take Zhong Ling'er is about to start. Do you think we should just have her while she's under the influence of the drug, or save her at a crucial moment and take her later? Come on, leave your comments! Let's follow the will of the masses!

Chapter 11 Taking Down Zhong Ling'er! The First Flower Plucked in Tianlong!
Ding San and Li Si arrived outside the room where Zhong Ling'er was being held after only a few steps. They exchanged a glance, and Li Si took the initiative. He took out a blowpipe and blew a wisp of red smoke through the crack in the door.
Then the two of them quietly stood at the door, holding their breath and waiting for any movement inside. Two minutes passed. Suddenly, seductive moans came from inside. The alluring voices made the two of them smile broadly. Success!
They looked at each other, grinning lewdly. Li Si took out the key to open the door and prepared to go in...) Just then, he felt a gentle breeze brush his face, then his body went numb and his vision went black.
Duan Yu looked at the two men on the ground, a smirk on his face. These two deserved to die for daring to lay a hand on his chosen woman. He stomped his feet twice on them, not killing them, but simply shattering their Qi Seas.
The soft, melodious moans inside the room grew louder. It seemed these two had used aphrodisiacs. In that case, Duan Yu immediately pushed open the door and went in.
Opening the door, Duan Yu felt a jolt. His old face flushed red. Despite his seemingly carefree demeanor, as if he'd been through countless romances, Duan Yu was actually a virgin, except for that one time he flirted with Han Xue.
Before him was an incredibly alluring sight: a beautiful woman of sixteen or seventeen, her robes loosely undone, caressing her body. Her face was flushed, her eyes filled with seductive allure. Seeing Duan Yu enter, she pounced on him, enveloping him like an octopus.
"Brother Yu, is that you? Ling'er feels so uncomfortable. Ling'er is so hot. Brother Yu, I want..." Her voice
was as sweet and melodious as a nightingale's.
As she spoke, her body swayed, her robe already partially revealing her pink undergarment.
Duan Yu, of course, was no gentleman. Since the woman was calling out like this, he couldn't just stand by. He reached out and enveloped her small, delicate breasts. Due to her age, Zhong Ling'er's breasts weren't fully developed, but the feel and elasticity only fueled Duan Yu's excitement.
His firm little cannon was already standing erect, pressing directly against Zhong Ling'er's hips. Without him even lifting a finger, Zhong Ling'er, under the allure of the aphrodisiac, had already begun to awkwardly rub against herself.
Duan Yu's hands gradually became unsatisfied with just caressing her breasts, and began to slip inside her robes, caressing Zhong Ling'er's entire body. Her slender waist and smooth skin excited Duan Yu.
"Duan Yu, Duan Yu, I'll take care of your first girlfriend for you."
Zhong Ling'er took the initiative to kiss Duan Yu, and even wildly extended her lovely tongue to French kiss him. Her movements were awkward yet bold, and Duan Yu led Zhong Ling'er into wave after wave of passion.
His left hand, like a graceful artist, ... A series of perfect images were drawn on Zhong Ling'er's delicate skin.
His right hand, in a caress, moved forward and untied the binding belt, pulling off Zhong Ling'er's silk robe. Now, Zhong Ling'er wore a red bodice, swaying her slender waist, passionately intertwining with Duan Yu.
After repeated caresses, Duan Yu finally stripped off Zhong Ling'er's trousers, tossing them aside. Duan Yu's right hand slowly caressed inside Zhong Ling'er's thigh, where it was already slippery and moist.
His right hand covered the dark, wild grass, extending a finger to explore inside, visiting the secluded valley. His left hand didn't stop either, roaming over her firm, white breasts, twisting and kneading them into various shapes. His lips kissed Ling'er's delicate face, from her cheek to her earlobe, his tongue gently licking.
Ling'er's eyes were languid, and she suddenly let out a soft moan, her fingers gripping Duan Yu's back tightly. She had actually climaxed amidst Duan Yu's three-pronged attack.
With her climax, Ling'er's senses returned slightly. When she saw herself in Duan Yu's arms, a look of surprise appeared on her face. Then her pretty face flushed, as if she remembered something. She extended her slender tongue and intertwined it with Duan Yu's. Her legs tightly wrapped around Duan Yu's wicked hands.
Stimulated by Duan Yu's left hand, she actively extended her right leg, kicking it into the air. This posture was extremely uncomfortable. Ling'er stood on one leg, her right leg raised, her hands on Duan Yu's shoulders, her upper body leaning against him.
Duan Yu's right hand slowly moved away from her vulva, moving towards her firm, upturned buttocks. His fingers kneaded the soft flesh at will.
"Ling'er, do you want it?"
Duan Yu said with a wicked smile, biting Ling'er's earlobe.
"Mmm!"
Ling'er nodded shyly. Duan Yu was startled by a lewd laugh. Ling'er blushed even more. However, Duan Yu was not in a hurry to take advantage of Ling'er. Since it was Ling'er's first time, Duan Yu decided to leave her with an unforgettable experience.
Duan Yu still made Ling'er stand on one leg, squatted down, and buried his head between her legs, frantically sucking the milky white fluid gushing from her vulva. At the same time, he used his rough tongue as a penis, inserting it deep into the pink crevice between the petals. His tongue was immediately surrounded and sucked by layers of tender flesh.
Ling'er's waist trembled wildly from the sucking; when had she ever experienced such beauty? At this moment, she was completely conquered by Duan Yu.
This was only the prelude. Duan Yu's tongue moved in and out without warning, sometimes long, sometimes short, sometimes curled into a small ball, sometimes swaying left and right. His tongue swept wildly across Ling'er's pink and moist petals, then slapped, bumped, and circled her engorged and hardened clitoris with the tip of his tongue. Then he stretched his tongue out to almost touch the flower core, performing a frenzied deep and shallow thrusting, circling and stirring back and forth and left and right as he inserted and withdrew...
"Wow... Ugh... Brother Duan... Ah... Waaah... I can't take it anymore..."
Ling'er breathed heavily, her two pink and white, firm and swollen breasts trembling and shimmering. She could hardly maintain the golden rooster standing on one leg position, her feet trembling slightly.
"Ah...uh...Duan...Brother...Brother...I can't take it anymore...Ling'er can't take it anymore...ah...uh...too deep...oh! woo woo...so beautiful...ah...brother...Ling'er...Ling'er is coming...ah..."
With a moan from Ling'er, a stream of white fluid gushed from her lower body, spraying all over Duan Yu's face.
Ling'er completely collapsed.
Seeing Ling'er's state, Duan Yu knew that Ling'er had already endured a great deal of pleasure. She had climaxed twice in a short period of time. Duan Yu immediately stopped. He picked up the clothes next to him and put them on the ground. Fortunately, although this was a woodshed, it was still quite spacious inside.
He straightened Ling'er's position, smiled at her, and gave her a French kiss. His right hand grasped his small penis and gently scraped Ling'er's sensitive spot. Ling'er immediately let out a soft moan from the scraping.
"...Uh..." At the same time, Duan Yu's left hand caressed Ling'er's upper body, kneading her breasts.
When Ling'er was almost ready, Duan Yu entered Ling'er's body with a soft "plop." Duan Yu knew that it was best to enter in one go; the slower the penetration, the greater the pain for the woman.
Ling'er frowned, but the pain wasn't much. Having already climaxed twice, and with plenty of lubrication, the pain was fleeting. She felt something hot and burning hot being inserted into her honey hole, filling it to bursting. The next second, a strong sense of pleasure overwhelmed her.
Duan Yu, one hand caressing her buttocks, the other kneading her protruding clitoris, his fingers already wet with her juices.
"Mmm...mmm..."
Ling'er moaned softly.
Duan Yu's sensations were almost imperceptible. Layers of pink flesh surrounded, sucked, and tightly gripped his penis, especially the glans, which was sucked tightly by Ling'er's cervix like a baby nursing. Duan Yu could only lie pressed against Ling'er's soft, fragrant body, panting heavily, unable to move, otherwise the tingling pleasure spreading from his penis throughout his body would cause him to lose control and ejaculate prematurely.
"Ling'er, I never expected your 'secret spot' to be so alluring. It's truly a top-tier 'secret spot,' one in a million," Duan
Yu said to Ling'er.
Ling'er gave Duan Yu a charming look, not understanding what he meant by a "top-tier 'secret spot.'"
Duan Yu kissed Ling'er's red lips with a wet kiss, his tongue entangled with hers until it almost broke, sucking up all the saliva in her mouth; he also kneaded and caressed her breasts with just the right amount of force, his two nipples, the size of peanuts, were pinched and teased, sucked wildly with his mouth, licked and circled with his tongue, and even bit or stretched with his teeth; while his honey hole was being violently thrust into by Duan Yu's huge penis... Ah, under the combined attack from above, middle and below, the beautiful woman, radiant and sweet like a ripe apple, was in full bloom. Her snow-white arms gripped Duan Yu's waist tightly, her two beautiful legs spread in an M-shape, her round, shapely buttocks thrusting high, then lowering, then thrusting upwards again…; the tender pink walls of her vagina were gradually contracting, tightly gripping the large, inserted penis…
Duan Yu knew that the beautiful woman beneath him was about to reach her climax, so he thrust his hips wildly, pumping and pounding. Despite Ling'er's continuous cries and wanton moans, he admired her while simultaneously stimulating his heroic sense of accomplishment. His thrusting and withdrawing movements not only did not slow down, but became faster, harder, and heavier than before, each thrust hitting her core…
"Ah… lighter… more… ooh… too deep… oh… ooh… too… heavy… no… I don't… want… ah…"
What a pure and lovely beauty! Ling'er let out a soft, wanton moan that would linger for three days, her cervix tightly gripping the inserted glans, instantly spurting out a large gush of sticky, milky-white, ripe vaginal fluid, completely soaking the purplish-red glans.
Under this intense stimulation, Duan Yu, after dozens more thrusts, roared and ejaculated his essence! Ling'er, feeling the heat of Duan Yu's scalding semen, gasped even more, her body trembling again.
After their passionate encounter, Zhong Ling'er lay seductively in Duan Yu's arms. Duan Yu chuckled, looking at the red spots of blood on his clothes, and couldn't help but let out an extremely lewd laugh. He had finally won over his first woman in Tianlong. Although they hadn't developed any real feelings yet, according to the original novel, Zhong Ling'er's personality was exactly what Duan
Yu liked. Just as he was indulging in his fantasies, he felt a sharp pain in his waist. Ling'er was pinching a slender part of his flesh, spinning it around 360 degrees.
Duan Yu snapped back to reality, realizing it was his own doing. He chuckled again, then reached out and touched her smooth thigh.
"Brother Yu, I don't want to anymore. Don't you want to?"
Ling'er said, her face flushed, pushing Duan Yu's hand away.
They hadn't just had a one-night stand; Ling'er's lower body was now swollen. She really didn't dare let Duan Yu be so promiscuous. Duan Yu looked at Ling'er gently. His right hand lightly stroked her thigh, covering the swollen valley, and said, "Ling'er, does it still hurt?"
"Hmph. It's all your fault. You bad man."
Zhong Ling'er said shyly.
"It's all Brother Yu's fault for being so preoccupied with his own pleasure and forgetting that Ling'er is still a virgin."
Duan Yu said softly.
After comforting Ling'er for a while, the two put on their clothes. However, Duan Yu was only wearing pants at this time, but his upper body was bare. His t-shirt and Ling'er's underwear were no longer wearable at this time.
Looking at the red stains on her clothes, Ling'er was extremely shy. Duan Yu didn't care. His eyes were fixed on Ling'er. After asking Ling'er if she wanted to keep these items, and receiving Ling'er's affirmative shake of her head, Duan Yu picked up the clothes. He focused his inner strength on his hands and instantly tore the clothes to pieces.
Zhong Ling'er looked at Duan Yu in surprise. She didn't understand how Duan Yu, who clearly had no martial arts skills, suddenly had them now.
Seeing Ling'er's surprise, Duan Yu didn't explain, but instead beckoned her into his arms, then walked out of the room, using his Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique). With a few leaps, he quickly left Wuliang Manor and headed towards Sword Lake in Wuliang Mountain.
After their recent lovemaking, neither of them felt quite comfortable, so a bath was necessary. Sword Lake was the best choice.
There was another reason for going there. According to records, if he remembered correctly, this place held immense benefits. He certainly couldn't let go of the 'Manggu Zhuha' (a mythical creature that made Duan Yu immune to all poisons).

Chapter 12: Misinterpreting the Northern Darkness Divine Art!
Arriving at Sword Lake, Duan Yu found a secluded spot and washed up with Zhong Ling. Of course, they also enjoyed some intimate moments during the bath. However, worried about Zhong Ling's health, Duan Yu only took advantage of her physically and verbally. After washing up, Duan Yu first returned to Wuliang Palace. Judging by Zhong Ling'er's figure, he found her a set of clothes, then plundered a set of men's clothing, and of course, took some money with him.
Duan Yu was currently penniless, and now he had a woman with him. Although Duan Yu wasn't ashamed of spending a girl's money, he still needed to carry some cash for the future.
Duan Yu's ultimate goal was to seduce top-tier women. Spend top-tier women's money, and then use that money to seduce more women! A complete novice.
When the clothes were returned, Zhong Ling'er protested. Duan Yu had brought back a blue dress. Logically, it should have made Zhong Ling'er look even cuter. However, the dress looked like something a maid would wear. Duan Yu, on the other hand, was wearing a blue robe and carrying a folding fan that was supposedly in Duan Yu's name. He looked like a young master.
After some playful banter, and with Duan Yu's repeated explanations and persuasion, Zhong Ling'er finally put on the blue dress.
"Young master, do you know where we're going?"
Zhong Ling'er teased Duan Yu, striking a pose like a maidservant asking a question.
Duan Yu, shameless as ever, waved his folding fan and stomped his feet, saying, "With such beautiful scenery before us, we should enjoy the sights and recite poetry."
His actions were utterly pedantic.
Zhong Ling chuckled and rolled her eyes at Duan Yu. After a few more playful moments, she suddenly became serious, saying, "Brother Duan, didn't you know absolutely no martial arts ten days ago? How come you suddenly have them now?"
"Your brother Duan has high talent! You don't know how hard I practiced to save you, and finally, after ten days, I've achieved some success," Duan
Yu boasted.
"To this extent in ten days, brother Duan, your talent is truly extraordinary!"
Zhong Ling drawled.
"Ahem! Well, I'll tell you I had a fortuitous encounter, I wonder if you'd believe me?"
Duan Yu coughed twice deliberately, moving closer to Zhong Ling as if afraid others would hear.
"So that's how it is! No wonder your kung fu has improved so much all of a sudden. But why is your hair styled so strangely!"
Zhong Ling pointed at Duan Yu's flowing 'long hair' and said. Duan Yu's hair would be considered very long in reality, but in ancient times it was considered unusually short.
"Don't you think my hairstyle is very handsome?" Duan
Yu said, striking a pose!
"Pfft! Hahaha!"
Zhong Ling pointed at Duan Yu and laughed loudly. However, her laughter suddenly stopped, and she frowned, looking at Duan Yu with a resentful expression.
Duan Yu knew without a doubt that the laughter had aggravated his condition, causing him further discomfort. This time, it was Duan Yu's turn to chuckle mischievously. Of course, Duan Yu's sly laughter was very measured; he couldn't let Zhong Ling cause him trouble.
"Brother Duan, you said you had a miraculous encounter, so tell me what kind of miraculous encounter you had, okay? I want to see what made your martial arts so amazing all of a sudden. The lightness skill you just displayed, I've never seen it on my father. And my mother doesn't have such superb lightness skill either."
Zhong Ling'er asked with the curiosity of a child.
"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed~!"
Duan Yu chuckled and remained silent.
The more Duan Yu remained silent, the more curious Zhong Ling'er became! "Brother Duan! Good brother! Just tell Ling'er! Brother! Tell me!"
This extremely nagging voice made Duan Yu tremble, feeling incredibly pleased. A vixen! A vixen! Duan Yu thought fiercely to himself. At the same time, he was also blaming this old Mr. Jin, who said Ling'er was the most sensible one? Pure nonsense!
However, Duan Yu remained unmoved and didn't speak.
Seeing Duan Yu like this, Zhong Ling'er's expression changed, her eyes darted around, and suddenly she turned her head and kissed Duan Yu on the cheek! "Is that enough?"
Ling'er said, blushing.
Duan Yu wore a wicked smile, still silent, but his actions were very obvious; he offered his left cheek, his body trembling.
Ling'er rolled her eyes at Duan Yu, but still obediently closed her eyes and kissed him. Duan Yu simply let her kiss him without making any strange moves. In his heart, however, he was thinking, "Disciplining her! Zhong Ling'er is only sixteen or seventeen years old now, her body hasn't fully developed yet, it's the perfect age for discipline. When will I get her babies? That would be even better.
I'll take them all from Duan Zhengchun, that lecherous wolf!
" "Brother Duan, what are you thinking about again? Your expression is so lewd! Tell me!"
Zhong Ling'er said, shaking Duan Yu's arm. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she kept letting Duan Yu's elbow wander over her breasts. This made Duan Yu's mind wander. He kept calling her a vixen in his heart. "So young and already knows how to seduce people!"
Duan Yu knew very well why Zhong Ling'er dared to do this—it was because he was currently worried about her health and didn't dare to take advantage of her. She was taking this opportunity to tease him.
He thought to himself, the self-proclaimed number one lecher who claimed to have seduced everyone in the world, had fallen so low. He immediately retaliated! With one arm, he lifted Ling'er up and expertly moved to her firm breasts, kneading them in circular motions. This made Ling'er gently pout. Her eyes were filled with seductive allure, as if they were about to drip water.
"No! No, let Ling'er go!"
Ling'er quickly grabbed Duan Yu's hand and said.
"Alright, let me tell you, do you know, our Duan family possesses a martial art that shakes heaven and earth!"
Duan Yu laughed and said.
"You mean the Six Meridians Divine Sword?"
Zhong Ling'er asked.
"Of course not, it's far more powerful than the Six Meridian Divine Sword. This is a recently created martial art, the Six Yang Melting Snow Skill! As long as you cultivate the Six Yang Melting Snow Skill, even a martial arts idiot can become a martial arts master in a short period of time! Not to mention a martial arts prodigy like Brother Duan!"
Duan Yu said casually.
"Then does that mean there are many masters in Dali?"
Zhong Ling said.
"No, not at all! Because this skill is so dangerous, only direct descendants can practice it; no one else can! As the saying goes, Heaven cherishes life! We in Dali value harmony above all else! Based on the principle of 'I will not offend others, and others will not offend me,' this martial art cannot be passed on to outsiders. Currently, only a few people in Dali know it. If it weren't for saving you, I wouldn't have learned this skill!"
Duan Yu said solemnly. Actually, he was almost laughing his head off inside; it was a complete waste that he wasn't an actor.
"So amazing!"
Ling'er's eyes were full of stars!
"Of course, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Don't tell anyone, okay? Otherwise, these martial arts people will become envious of our Duan family's martial arts and start a new wave of scrambling!"
Duan Yu said.
"Yes, I understand! Don't worry, Brother Duan, I definitely won't say anything."
Ling'er nodded.
(This is the first chapter after my leave. Regarding Zhong Ling's personality, I plan to portray her as a cute girl. Those who have read *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils* should know that in many TV adaptations, Zhong Ling's personality is quite adorable. And in the original novel, Zhong Ling is indeed only sixteen years old. A sixteen-year-old girl, regardless of her upbringing, will always retain a touch of innocence. And what we need to cultivate is precisely that innocence! Ta-da! Fellow wolves! Let's start voting! Mu Wanqing is about to appear!

Chapter 13) "Yu Mu Wanqing~!"
Suddenly, Zhong Ling'er bent her fingers, put them in her mouth, and whistled a strange tune. A small white ferret came running from afar. It leaped into Zhong Ling's arms.
Its red eyes stared straight at Duan Yu, who wasn't surprised by the red ferret. However, in the original story, this ferret was already dead, but now, due to his actions, it was still alive.
Zhong Ling hugged the white ferret, stroking its fur with her right hand, showing great affection.
Duan Yu carefully observed his surroundings, fanning himself with a folding fan, looking quite content.
"Where are we going now?"
Zhong Ling asked.
"Not in a hurry. There's something here I must get,"
Duan Yu said.
"Something? What is it?"
Zhong Ling asked in surprise.
"Ling'er, have you ever heard of the 'Manggu Zhuha'?"
Duan Yu said with a smile.
"'Manggu Zhuha' has a voice like a bull, a whole body of crimson, and is the king of all poisons. Brother Duan, what do you want with it?"
Ling'er asked in surprise.
"It is indeed the king of all poisons, but Ling'er, you don't know, do you? This 'Manggu Toad' is both a poison and a treasure. As long as you consume it, you will be immune to all poisons,"
Duan Yu explained.
Zhong Ling'er nodded, still full of curiosity but not asking any further questions.
Meanwhile, Duan Yu and Zhong Ling'er strolled around Sword Lake, but didn't see a single 'Manggu Toad.' Duan Yu was quite anxious about this. With the beautiful Zhong Ling by his side, Duan Yu didn't find it boring. They joked and played around along the way, enjoying themselves immensely.
Reaching another place, Duan Yu stopped. He also told Zhong Ling to slow down. He gestured for her to be quiet, then, carrying Zhong Ling, leaped up and landed on top of a tree. Looking ahead,
he saw seventeen or eighteen people surrounding a woman in black. The woman's back was to Duan Yu, so her face couldn't be seen. She was slender, with a tuft of jet-black hair, dressed like a young lady. She was also leading a black horse.
“You little wretch, what are you stalling for? Make your move, and come back with us obediently.”
A short, white-haired old woman spoke to the woman in a hoarse voice.
The woman in black coldly replied, “You’ve lived this long; if you’re going to die, don’t fight this moment. Why doesn’t that wicked woman surnamed Wang from Suzhou come and fight me herself, but instead sends you lackeys to nag me?”
“Our lady is so noble; even if you, you little wretch, wanted to see her, it would be incredibly difficult. If you know what’s good for you, come with us obediently, kowtow to our lady a few times, and perhaps she will be magnanimous and spare your life. If you try to escape again this time, you’d better give up. Where is your master?”
another old woman surrounding the woman said. This old woman had a broad, short face, full of wrinkles, drooping white eyebrows, and a pair of small, narrow eyes that shot out a fierce, murderous glint.
"Hey, Master, what brings you here!"
the woman in black suddenly exclaimed in surprise towards the old woman's back. Hearing this, the others couldn't help but turn to look behind the old woman. The woman, however, seized the opportunity to mount her horse, ready to leave.
But before she could go, a cane came flying through the air. The woman in black blocked the attack with a long sword.
"You think you can escape from me, Granny Rui? You're still too green,"
the old woman who had spoken first said. It turned out she had been watching the woman in black's movements all along, and as soon as the woman was about to leave, she immediately leaped up and swung her cane.
"I don't want to kill, not because I'm afraid of you. Don't force me,"
the woman in black said coldly.
This time, however, she faced a barrage of attacks from all sides. The white-haired old woman, wielding two short knives, leaped
into the air, the two knives aimed at the woman in black's abdomen and neck—a deadly move. The woman in black performed a backflip, dismounting mid-air and wielding her longsword in a sword dance, clanging and clashing. Before she landed, a cane struck her back.
The woman deflected the blow with her scabbard, the sword falling to the ground. She then raised her hand and fired several short arrows from her long black sleeves. Granny Rui quickly swung her cane to block the arrows. The arrows immediately ricocheted off in all directions. *Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!* Several people who couldn't dodge in time were struck by the arrows.
These wounded people coughed up black blood, convulsed, and collapsed dead.
"Grandma Ping, that little slut's arrow is poisoned, everyone be careful!"
Grandma Rui warned those around her.
However, even without her warning, the remaining people were already cautiously watching the woman in black.
"Brother Duan, shall we go down and help?"
Zhong Ling'er suddenly spoke up.
"Help? Do you know that person down there?"
Duan Yu asked in surprise.
"Yes, that person should be Sister Mu,"
Ling'er nodded.
"Sister Mu, Mu Wanqing!" Duan Yu
exclaimed in astonishment.
"You know Sister Mu?"
A look of doubt appeared on Ling'er's face.
"Of course not, but yesterday during our lovemaking, you suddenly called out Sister Mu Wanqing's name. At the time, I didn't know what it meant,"
Duan Yu said with a wicked smile.
"How could that be~!"
Ling'er blushed deeply. She was extremely embarrassed. She had been drugged with aphrodisiacs yesterday, and she didn't know if she had actually called out Sister Mu's name. But if it were true, it would be too shameful. She had actually called out Sister Mu's name at that moment.
Duan Yu chuckled, secretly delighted. Of course, he was just making things up! At the same time, some thoughts were racing through his mind. In fact, as soon as he saw the person below, Duan Yu had guessed that this woman was Mu Wanqing. According to the description in Tianlong, Mu Wanqing was very cold to people because of her mother, but once she fell in love with someone, she was incredibly devoted. And there was another important point: Mu Wanqing had a rule. Whoever was the first to lift her veil would be her beloved.
He would definitely save her, but he had to wait for the right opportunity. Mu Wanqing was extremely cold to people, and if he wanted to move her, he had to find a way to deeply imprint her in his mind. This first impression was very important.
As his thoughts raced, Duan Yu grew more and more fond of Zhong Ling in his arms. According to the introduction, Mu Wanqing didn't think highly of Zhong Ling, and could even be said to have always treated her extremely badly. Ling'er's
magnanimity is truly commendable. Duan Yu had an idea, and a habitual wicked smile appeared on his lips. He gave Zhong Ling a look and gracefully descended the tree.
"In broad daylight, how dare you attack a weak woman like this? Do you have any conscience?"
Duan Yu shouted strangely.
The attackers were all attracted by Duan Yu's shout and temporarily stopped fighting, looking at him.
"Everyone, don't look at me like that, it makes me feel embarrassed," Duan Yu
waved his hand.
"Boy, who are you! Don't meddle in other people's business!"
Granny Ping sneered.
"I'm scared! Granny, please don't frighten me like that. Look, my heart is pounding like crazy right now,"
Duan Yu said with a frightened expression.
"Who are you? If you dare to play these pranks on us again, you'll be sorry!"
Granny Rui shouted, her brow furrowed. She wasn't sure who Duan Yu was. She didn't dare to act yet, hoping to find out his background herself. Before making a move, she had carefully checked her surroundings and found no one there. The sudden appearance of this young man naturally aroused her suspicion.
"Since you're so sincere in your questioning, then I'll mercifully tell you. To maintain peace in the Central Plains, and to prevent the beauties of the world from being ruined by you, I am the wandering flower connoisseur, known as 'A pear blossom tree overshadowing a crabapple,' loved by all, even flowers bloom when they see me, even old ladies would fall for me—that's Duan Yu, the Heavenly Dragon Beauty!"
Duan Yu said, shaking his folding fan and pacing back and forth.
"Pfft!"
The woman in black, Mu Wanqing, suddenly laughed. However, as if she had noticed something, she shot Duan Yu two fierce glances from behind her veil.
The others nearby were filled with anger. Hearing Duan Yu's words, they understood he was deliberately teasing them. They all glared at him with murderous intent.
However, Duan Yu ignored their stares, offering a mysterious smile as he looked at Granny Ping and the others. He secretly thought, "Success!" Making the cold beauty Mu Wanqing laugh meant he was close to winning.
"Whoever you are, get out of here. This is none of your business,"
Granny Ping said, a murderous glint in her eyes.
"Didn't I just say I'm a connoisseur of beauty? I can't just stand by and watch such a beautiful woman besiege me,"
Duan Yu said, shaking his folding fan.
"So you insist on taking on this responsibility?"
Granny Rui's cane shattered the cobblestones into powder, revealing her formidable internal strength.
"Of course, beautiful women are my favorites. How could I let you destroy them?"
Duan Yu didn't back down because of Granny Rui's display of power. With his Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) and the powerful backing of the Beiming Divine Art, Duan Yu had nothing to fear except for top-tier masters.
Looking at the people before him, Granny Rui, the silent old man, and Granny Ping were at most second-rate masters, like himself.
He didn't even consider the others a threat. Three second-rate masters were child's play. Although the Beiming Divine Art wasn't like the unlimited absorption techniques he'd read about in novels, now that he possessed the strength of a second-rate master, absorbing their power was a piece of cake.
He'd discovered a problem with the power he'd absorbed the day before yesterday: some of the internal energy was stored in his meridians, requiring time to dissipate. Otherwise, it would definitely cause future health problems.
"Then you're courting death!"
Granny Rui shouted fiercely, swinging her cane at Duan Yu. The cane whistled through the air, demonstrating the immense power contained within. Duan Yu had no doubt that if this cane struck him, his brains would splatter.
Her feet shifted instantly, and she used the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique). Her body dodged Granny Rui's attack within a very small area.
A look of surprise appeared in Mu Wanqing's eyes, which were covered by a veil. A thoughtful expression flashed in her eyes.

Chapter 14: Leaving a Deep Memory!
Granny Rui used one move, and immediately followed with another. A gust of wind and thunderous energy surrounded Duan Yu, with countless shadowy figures enveloping him. Duan Yu dodged left and right, easily avoiding Granny Rui's attacks.
Seeing that Granny Rui hadn't been able to subdue Duan Yu for so long, the old man beside her moved, approaching Duan Yu and pulling out an iron shovel, aiming straight for Duan Yu's back. Despite his age, the old man reacted extremely quickly; with a flick of his right hand, the shovel moved with incredible speed.
Sensing the attack from behind, Duan Yu drew a dagger, focusing his inner energy on it to block the old man's attack. With a single slash, the dagger actually sliced off a small section of the iron shovel. Seeing his shovel slashed in half by Duan Yu, the old man's face flashed with heartache. A murderous aura surged within him.
"You little thief, prepare to die!"
the old man roared, his shovel swinging with even greater ferocity. This attack showed no mercy. Duan Yu's heart tightened, but his expression remained largely unchanged, maintaining his nonchalant demeanor. Under the combined attack of two masters, Duan Yu was not entirely at ease.
Relying on the unique Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique), Duan Yu managed to launch several attacks while moving about. He wasn't simply dodging. Duan Yu used interception techniques from modern armies, each move a deadly strike. While Duan Yu knew many martial arts techniques in modern society, his numerous experiences with theft had led him to adopt only one approach: the fastest way to kill.
Just as the Fire Cloud Evil God had said, "In martial arts, there are no moves that cannot be broken, only speed!" Duan Yu understood this deeply. Therefore, his techniques were all extremely simple.
However, even so, they still gave Granny Rui and the others quite a shock, as every move Duan Yu made hit vital points, forcing them to defend.
Dodging the old man's attack on his lower body with his iron shovel, Duan Yu moved diagonally left and right, circling behind the old man. He delivered a chop to the back of the old man's head. The old man fell to the ground.
Seeing the old man injured, Granny Rui's face contorted with rage. She swung her cane towards Duan Yu's chest. Duan Yu retreated, keeping his feet close to the cane, and with a flick of his dagger, deflected the cane, accelerating his retreat. He then thrust his dagger at Granny Rui's shoulders. Duan Yu had been holding back completely against these attacks. Otherwise, if he had used the dagger directly against the old man earlier, the old man would have had little chance of survival.
The reason Duan Yu held back was actually to pave the way for Wang Yuyan. He wanted to woo Wang Yuyan, or even Lady Wang, in the future, so he couldn't go too far now.
Granny Ping, who had been watching Mu Wanqing, turned around and saw Granny Rui's peril. She swiftly flicked her twin swords , blocking Duan Yu's daggers.
Clang! Clang! The attacks clashed, and the three separated. Someone nearby had already checked the old man's injuries and, finding him only unconscious, gave Granny Rui and Granny Ping a signal.
Granny Rui and Granny Ping's expressions softened considerably. However, they still looked grave.
"You won't have a good ending if you go against the Wang family,"
Granny Ping said calmly.
"I'm just protecting a beautiful lady, how can that be considered going against them? Anyway, I'm determined to handle this matter. You can leave now. If you don't leave, I won't show any mercy," Duan Yu
said with a smile.
"Hmph! The green hills remain, the green waters flow on! Kid, you'll always fall into our hands someday. Let's go."
Granny Rui left with a harsh remark, extremely unwilling, and quickly left with her men.
As soon as they left, Duan Yu immediately walked to the side. He didn't even say hello to Mu Wanqing.
He wanted to leave like this, but Mu Wanqing wouldn't allow it.
"Stop!"
Mu Wanqing shouted coldly.
"Oh. What does the beautiful lady want with me?"
Duan Yu turned around and asked.
"You lecherous rogue, you're no better than me,"
Mu Wanqing said coldly.
"It seems we've offended you, beautiful lady. I just saved you, and this is how you repay your savior?"
Duan Yu said.
"Did I say I asked you to save me? Mind your own business! You even dared to verbally harass me just now. Stay here!"
Mu Wanqing said, releasing several short arrows from her sleeve. She realized from Duan Yu's display of martial arts that she was no match for him. However, she didn't want to let him go so easily.
"Nonsense!"
Duan Yu deflected the arrows with a dagger, his tone impatient. He then sheathed the dagger, took out the broken sword from his waist, shook it, and strode forward.
"You! How dare you call me unreasonable!"
Mu Wanqing roared in anger. She leaped forward, wielding her long sword and thrusting it at Duan Yu.
Duan Yu used his Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to dodge Mu Wanqing's attack. In his mind, he was thinking that Mu Wanqing's personality was indeed as cold and unapproachable as ice. If he didn't know that Mu Wanqing would later be deeply infatuated with the original Duan Yu, given her current behavior, Duan Yu would hardly have any interest in taking her into the palace. She was far inferior to Ling'er.
However, the more this happened, the more Duan Yu couldn't show weakness. He wanted Mu Wanqing to remember him deeply, and he was going to use this unconventional method. Only by making her hate him could he make her fall in love with him. Wasn't it said that love turns to hate, and hate turns to love?
After dodging Mu Wanqing's attacks, Duan Yu moved closer to her, his right hand pulling her into his arms. He said, "So fragrant!" and
kissed her cheek. With a swift movement, his left hand lifted Mu Wanqing's veil. Before him lay a face as beautiful as a crescent moon, as lovely as snow-covered trees—exquisitely beautiful.
"Truly a beauty beyond compare!"
Duan Yu thought to himself. He began to resent Mu Wanqing's mother, Qin Hongmian. Such a great beauty had been turned into a cold and aloof woman by Qin Hongmian. It was truly a waste of a gift from heaven.
Actually, Mu Wanqing's personality was quite good. After all, Mu Wanqing had always lived deep in the mountains with her mother, and her mother had always addressed her as her master. Even now, Mu Wanqing didn't know Qin Hongmian was her mother. She only knew that her master was going to be a 'Guest of the Valley'.
It could only be said that Mu Wanqing lacked proper guidance. Duan Yu's goal was to mold Mu Wanqing into a gentle and refined lady. Of course, a strong personality was also essential. However, it couldn't be as dull as it was now.
Duan Yu lifted Mu Wanqing's veil, glanced at her, and then immediately put her down, using his Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to disappear from Mu Wanqing's sight in a few moments.
When Duan Yu reappeared, he was back in the forest on the big tree where Zhong Ling'er was.
"How was it? Your brother Duan did a good job, right?"
Duan Yu said to Ling'er with a smile.
"Yes, very good! Brother Duan, your martial arts have progressed so quickly. It's really unbelievable! And Brother Duan, you're so mean, deliberately treating Sister Mu like that!"
Ling'er said with a smile, not holding back her praise. With her smile, two adorable dimples appeared on her face.
Seeing Ling'er's happy expression, Duan Yu couldn't resist picking her up and kissing her cherry lips! He released her after a long while, saying, "How could I do that on purpose? Your Sister Mu is so cold, she's nowhere near as cute as my Ling'er."
"Really! Don't lie to me,"
Ling'er pouted happily at Duan Yu's words. What girl doesn't like to hear sweet words? Hearing Duan Yu say that, Ling'er was naturally delighted.

Excluding my three-day leave, from October 3rd to October 8th, I had over 670 favorites on Qidian, but only over 200 on Cuiweiju. So, I'll now announce the Cuiweiju website address. I don't need to mention Qidian, right? My book is currently being promoted first on Cuiweiju. So please, fellow readers on Qidian, go and bookmark this page! After all, creating an account on Cuiweiju gives you bookmarks, and new accounts can cast two votes for recommendations. I'm ashamed of all this criticism. It's a waste of everyone's precious time. But I'll still shamelessly shout: Come on, fellow readers of Qidian, I'm looking forward to your support on Cuiweiju! Note! I usually release my first chapters on Cuiweiju! Friends who want to read the book first, please go to Cuiweiju! Pirated versions on other websites are incomplete. Don't think I write slowly; now that I have time, I upload at least 5,000 words a day. Once I achieve success, 10,000 words per update will be absolutely normal! To write this book, I've already booked many other books on 17k... It's temporarily suspended! Going all out! Okay, finally, Happy National Day everyone. Hehe, this is a belated blessing. May you all have many romantic encounters these next few days, with lots of beautiful women coming your way. Da da da, don't laugh, and don't be annoyed! I curse you, my fellow wolves! May you be harassed by female perverts as soon as you step outside! Uh! Of course, if any female wolves are reading this, then you don't need female perverts to harass you. You can come and harass me directly. Da da da. Okay, this time it's really over. Gone~!

Chapter 15 Devouring the 'Manggu Zhuha'!
After spending a warm time with Ling'er, seeing that Mu Wanqing had left, Duan Yu led Ling'er down to the tree. During this time, the white weasel kept watching Duan Yu intently, as if it knew that Duan Yu had stolen its master.
"Look, your little darling seems jealous,"
Duan Yu said to Zhong Ling with a smile, pointing at the white sable.
"No way! My little darling isn't jealous at all,"
Ling'er pouted.
"Is that so? How about we do an experiment? Watch!"
Duan Yu said, pulling Ling'er's head closer to his chest, lifting her chin with his right index finger, and preparing to kiss her tenderly. Sure enough, the white sable in Ling'er's arms followed Duan Yu's movements, its eyes flashing red, and it even bared its teeth.
Ling'er saw the sable's actions out of the corner of her eye, her face first blushing, then shyly hiding in Duan Yu's arms. She began to soothe the white sable with her right hand.
"My little darling, be good. Sister won't abandon you,"
Ling'er said softly, cradling the white ferret
in her hands. Duan Yu and Zhong Ling strolled through the woods for a while before emerging onto a path. Several strange cries attracted Duan Yu's attention. "I've got it!" Duan Yu exclaimed happily. "As expected, Mr. Jin didn't lie to me; the 'Manggu Toad' is in Sword Lake." He and Ling'er quickly arrived at the source of the cries. It was a cave, and the cries were coming from inside.
"Ling'er, you stay outside and watch! I'll go in alone. It's dangerous inside, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you later,"
Duan Yu said softly to Ling'er.
"No! I want to go in too! Since it's the 'Manggu Toad,' I can't be left out. The 'Manggu Toad' is so poisonous; I'm really worried about you going in, Brother Duan,"
Ling'er said, shaking Duan Yu's hand.
"Good girl! Ling'er, be good. Don't worry, Brother Duan has a plan."
Duan Yu affectionately ruffled Ling'er's hair with his right hand. He was genuinely pleased with himself at that moment. Ling'er's personality was just too good. So adorable! Actually, entering this cave, Duan Yu wasn't as confident as he appeared.
According to the original text, when Duan Yu took the 'Manggu Zhuha' (a type of toad), it was unintentional. At the time, he neutralized the poison of the 'Manggu Zhuha' by combining several other toxins, making the 'Manggu Zhuha' an invulnerable medicine for him.
“Why don’t you take the ferret with you, Brother Duan? I’ll feel more at ease with it.”
Ling’er said, stroking the white ferret with her right hand. “Little darling, be a good boy and come inside with Brother Duan. You must protect Brother Duan from the poisonous creatures.”
Ling’er’s tone was very gentle.
Having reassured the ferret, Ling’er handed it to Duan Yu, who cautiously accepted it. The ferret was indeed extremely docile. However, Duan Yu wasn’t entirely at ease. He knew very well just how powerful the ferret was. The venom contained in its mouth was incredibly potent. Even Sikong Xuan, after being bitten by the ferret, decisively cut off his own arm.
Giving Ling’er a reassuring look, Duan Yu led the ferret into the cave. As soon as they entered, the ferret leaped from Duan Yu’s arms. Its fur stood on end, and its two red eyes… Duan Yu stared blankly ahead.
There, a tiny toad, no more than two inches long, lay, its body a deep crimson, its eyes gleaming with golden light. It opened its mouth, the thin skin under its neck trembling, and let out a roar like a bull's bellow—such a small body, yet it could produce such a loud croak! This toad was locked in a fierce gaze with a large, red and black mottled centipede. This centipede was at least seven or eight inches long. But when it met the toad's gaze, it kept retreating.
With another croak from the toad, the centipede suddenly sprang backward, rushing towards Duan Yu. The toad quickly gave chase.
Upon seeing this, Duan Yu immediately called to the white sable; he didn't want it to be bitten to death by this 'Manggu Zhuha' like in the original story. Although the white sable was also highly venomous, it was nothing compared to the 'Manggu Zhuha'.
The 'Manggu Toad' is indeed quite poisonous. However, its poison is concentrated in its teeth. Therefore, if Duan Yu wanted to consume the 'Manggu Toad,' he couldn't afford to be bitten. Otherwise, Duan Yu would die a gruesome death.
Duan Yu then took out a black pen from his robes. At the end of the pen was a small, raised button. Duan Yu gently pressed it. A burst of extremely piercing ultrasonic waves emanated from the pen. The 'Manggu Toad' and the large black centipede both shuddered instantly. Although the 'Manggu Toad' and the centipede didn't transmit sound waves, the frequency of this ultrasonic wave was incredibly high. They were immediately affected by the... The sound waves knocked him unconscious.
Just as Duan Yu was about to pick up the 'Manggu Toad,' the white weasel stepped forward first. Judging from its appearance, it clearly knew the 'Manggu Toad' was a valuable item and actually wanted to devour it before Duan Yu could.
Duan Yu wouldn't allow this. Aside from the white weasel's suicidal act, he absolutely couldn't let the white weasel destroy the 'Manggu Toad,' something he had painstakingly sought. He would rely entirely on this 'Manggu Toad' to dominate the world of Tianlong. Once he possessed an immune system to all poisons and formidable martial arts skills, who would he fear?
Leaving aside the matter of meeting Qiao Feng in the Purple Bamboo Grove, if he didn't obtain the 'Manggu Zhuha' (a type of poison), the powerful poison "Beisu Qingfeng" (a
type of poison), and the Starry Night Old Monster, would definitely be a threat to him in the future. He immediately used the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique), his body flashing like lightning as he reached for the white sable. The reason he didn't grab the 'Manggu Zhuha' was because Duan Yu knew he simply didn't have the time. The white sable was extremely fast; if he was even slightly slower, the 'Manggu Zhuha' would be completely out of his reach.
Just as Duan Yu was about to grab the white sable, it suddenly turned its head sharply and bit him. Duan Yu dodged in the rush, but was still bitten. It struck his thigh. The injury to his thigh caused Duan Yu to quickly channel his internal energy, instantly sending the white sable flying. It crashed into the cave wall with a thud and fell unconscious. At that instant, Duan Yu also felt his lower body stiffen. With a thud, he too collapsed to the ground.
"It's over! I never imagined that my meticulous planning would lead to this flaw in the white sable. What a huge loss! Sister Guanyin! Duan Yu has let you down. I can't buy you the mini-skirt anymore. The sexy underwear you wanted is also out of the question. Beauties of Tianlong, your husband Duan Yu has died young. I haven't even had time to comfort you before I'm going to have tea with Yama. Alas. Goodbye, beauties!" Duan
Yu was overwhelmed with thoughts at this moment. He clearly felt the white sable's potent poison. In an instant, he was completely paralyzed. Even his internal energy couldn't be gathered. It was indeed extremely poisonous.
As Duan Yu collapsed, his thoughts raced. At this moment, the giant centipede awoke. The 'Manggu Zhuha' also opened its eyes, making gurgling sounds. The giant centipede was immediately startled and sprang to the side. However, its trajectory was precisely into Duan Yu's sighing lips. Seeing the centipede trying to escape, the 'Manggu Toad' immediately chased after it and jumped into Duan Yu's mouth.
Duan Yu felt his stomach churning; both the centipede and the 'Manggu Toad' had burrowed deep inside. It was truly a case of unintended consequences leading to unexpected success, or intentionally planting flowers only to have them fail to bloom. All of this was so similar to Duan Yu's predicament.
At this moment, Duan Yu didn't even know what he was thinking. He only felt an extreme discomfort in his body, as if ants were biting him all over. He was extremely nauseous. This feeling didn't linger for long; suddenly, a surge of heat rushed into his heart.
A large amount of heat was generated inside his body, and Duan Yu's whole body glowed red, his body suddenly expanding. His body regained its mobility at this moment. However, this recovery made Duan Yu feel even more uncomfortable, and he let out a deafening roar: "Ah~!"
"Brother Duan, Brother Duan! What's wrong with you!"
Zhong Ling'er's anxious voice came from outside the cave. Then, in an instant, Ling'er appeared before Duan Yu.
Ling'er covered her mouth with her right hand, staring at Duan Yu in disbelief. Her eyes were filled with terror! Tears streamed down her face. "No~! Brother Duan! Don't scare me. Ling'er is scared. Brother Duan!"
Ling'er rushed to hug Duan Yu tightly.
But Duan Yu looked utterly grotesque; his face was swollen, covered in black and blue marks. His clothes had torn to shreds in an instant.
His face resembled a moonlit pig-man, his body equally bloated, and his eyes gleamed with a predatory light. As Ling'er clung to him, Duan Yu suddenly flipped over and pinned her to the ground, tearing her clothes to shreds with a few rips.
"No, Brother Duan, don't!"
Ling'er cried out in terror. But Duan Yu didn't stop; the madness in his eyes showed no sign of abating.
Tears streamed down Ling'er's face as she cried out loudly. A tear flew into Duan Yu's eye as he rallied. His frantic movements abruptly ceased. His eyes returned to black as he looked at Ling'er beneath him and his own body, anxiously pleading, "Ling'er, hurry! Hurry! Otherwise, Brother Duan will lose control again! Hurry! Don't worry, Brother Duan will be alright in a little while. Hurry! Otherwise, it will be too late!"
Duan Yu grabbed Ling'er and shoved her aside, shouting loudly. Duan Yu knew very well that his current form was a result of the poison causing his physical changes.
He wouldn't be able to remain conscious for long; he had to get Ling'er away, otherwise, he would soon be driven purely by animalistic instincts. He absolutely couldn't let Ling'er get hurt. In his current form, Ling'er couldn't possibly withstand it.
(Um. That's all for today's update. I wonder what everyone's suggestions are. Should I have relations with Ling'er in this form? Everyone should consider this rationally. Come on! Comments open! I need an answer before 9 PM tonight so I can continue writing tomorrow morning's chapter.)
