Chapter Six:

"Qingsong Daoist, how about I test your whisk today?" Nanyang Judge Chang Xi'an said disdainfully.

"Hmph! You dare to compete for the title of Martial Arts Alliance Leader? Don't you know who you are?" Qingsong Daoist retorted.

"You, don't be so shameless. If you're so capable, how about we have a match on the stage?" Nanyang Judge Chang Xi'an said provocatively, not

taking Qingsong Daoist seriously at all.

"Alright! I'll see just how powerful your Iron Palm Silver Hook Brush Technique is." Qingsong Daoist said mockingly, turning around and immediately flying

onto the stage.

Chang Xi'an, the judge of Nanyang, wielded a pen-holder fork, also known as a hand fork or iron ruler, which was

prevalent primarily used in two grips: a normal grip and a reverse grip. The normal grip allowed for thrusting, flicking, pulling, chopping, blocking, sweeping, twisting, and pressing, while the reverse grip allowed for locking, seizing, cutting, bumping,

and scissing. It was a versatile and adaptable weapon.

He followed suit, using the "No" technique. Qingsong Daoren took a leftward step, seizing the western position, and his fiery cloud pen swept horizontally from left to right

towards Qingsong Daoren's temple—the horizontal stroke of the "No" technique!

Chang Xi'an's iron pen swung diagonally from the upper right to the lower left, sweeping towards Qingsong Daoren's ribs. This was the flick of the "No" technique! Qingsong

Daoren dodged to the right, then swept his whisk towards the top of Chang Xi'an's head, his killing intent instantly surfacing, causing a stir among the onlookers. A monk

should possess such murderous intent.

Chang Xi'an hooked his left hand straight up, and with a thud, the iron pen in his right hand struck, writing the final stroke of the character "不" (not), aiming it towards Qing Song Daoren's chest at the Tanzhong acupoint!

Qing Song Daoren countered with a move called "Guanyin's Decree," his whisk straightening as he thrust several times at Chang Xi'an's vital points!

As the moon blazed high in the sky, Chang Xi'an let out a long roar, his iron pen slashing down with the brilliance of a star sword, swift as an arrow, lightning fast

, this was the final stroke of the character "锋" (sharp)!

Qing Song Daoren's arm swayed rapidly, executing a move called "Snow-Wrapped Jade Bud," his whisk conjuring countless circles that swirled towards Chang Xi'an!

Chang Xi'an pressed his left palm against the ground, using the momentum to deftly flip in mid-air, landing far away. This move was

the "戈" (halberd) from the "武" (martial) technique, embodying the saying: "A swallow takes flight with a slight tremor, a swan soars swiftly, control is exercised in the face of danger, and opportunity arises from peril,"

turning the tide !

The Green Pine Daoist, his whip gleaming, unleashed a move called "Return to the Jade Terrace," his whisk creating a flurry of shadows that swept towards Chang Xi'an like a tidal wave!

Chang Xi'an countered with a flick of his wrist, his iron brush sweeping towards the Green Pine Daoist's right hand!

The Green Pine Daoist, composed and wielding his brush with effortless grace, suddenly thrust out his right hand with a "Jade Belt Around the Waist" strike towards Chang Xi'an's left!

Chang Xi'an turned and exhaled, his iron brush striking with the "Down" technique, aiming for the Green Pine Daoist's back.

The Green Pine Daoist swiftly brought his whisk down in mid-air, aiming for Chang Xi'an's temple!

"Stop! This is just a friendly spar, not a fight to the death. Is it necessary to be so acrimonious?" Nangong Taiji rebuked.

The two on the stage ceased their attack and went down to watch the other contestants.

"Our boss really has no taste! It's such a pity he didn't come to see such a wonderful acrobatic performance!" Yu Xuanzi thought to himself as he sipped his tea.

So what if they're highly skilled in martial arts? On the battlefield, they're no match for the musketeers. That's why the leader realized this and

traded guns and ammunition with the Russians, learning how to make muskets and even building the Divine Cannon. What good is unparalleled martial arts if they dare fight muskets?

People in the martial arts world look down on Yu Xuanzi's men, considering their muskets useless.

"Hey! Brother Zhao! Look at those smug kids, acting like we're all useless trash. How about we take them on?"

said Zhu Ling, the eldest disciple of the Wudang Sect.

"Yeah! Especially that androgynous leader, what kind of first-rank bodyguard is he? He's all useless." Zhao Qifeng

nodded in agreement adding to the insults.

Yu Xuanzi's ears were exceptionally sharp. He overheard their conversation and immediately reacted, flashing to their side with a left foot and

slapping them both across the face.

"Damn! How dare you look down on me like that? You're asking for trouble, daring to insult even an official of the imperial court!" Yu Xuanzi

said .

"You..." The two, their faces blank, dared not speak further at their master's signal.

Just then, a commotion erupted outside the martial arts arena. "The Nine Heavens Demon Palace! It's the Nine Heavens Demon Palace!" Everyone panicked as the long-absent banners

reappeared before their eyes.

A middle-aged man, with a dignified bearing and a weathered face, but with deep-set eyes, arrogantly declared, "We are here on the orders of our Palace Master to

announce our arrival! Everyone must submit to our Master, so that

he may become the leader of the martial arts world. Anyone who disagrees will have their sect destroyed and be wiped out from the martial arts world." Yu Xuanzi found his aura distasteful.

"Damn! I'm the first to disagree! What can you do to me?" Yu Xuanzi stood up and said elegantly, unaware of

the many .

"Boy! You'd better not interfere. With your stunning beauty, it would be a shame if you died." The middle-aged man's words caused everyone present

to burst into laughter . I think if I were there, I would have laughed too; this was his Achilles' heel.

The musketeers all stood up, looking at their master. Yu Xuanzi was most averse to being called handsome.

Even the Prince wouldn't dare mock him for it, yet someone was so brazenly laughing at him in public. It seemed that person had a death wish.

"Husband! What's wrong?" Xiao Mei was surprised by her husband's expression. Her husband was usually gentle, but this time he was filled with murderous intent, making one wonder

if all Manchus were like this.

At Yu Xuanzi's gesture, the musketeers, well-trained, raised their guns and aimed, hitting their target in one swift motion, which surprised everyone.

"So what if you're from the government! I don't believe your musket can be faster than my sword," said a burly man beside the middle-aged man.

"If you want to die, I won't stop you." Yu Xuanzi swung his hand downwards, and a burst of gunfire rang out, disturbing the residents and the sleeping

beauty.

"Husband! What happened? Why was it so loud?" He Xiangwan asked lazily.

I knew what was going on as soon as I heard the sound and smiled, "Nothing much. Someone ate a few peanuts."

"Peanuts?" He Xiangwan looked at me strangely and remained silent for a long time.

"Husband, could it be your musketeer team firing their guns at the martial arts tournament?" Chang Nonghuan said, remembering something.

"That's right. A few shots were fired, but I don't think anyone was hurt, which is why Defu didn't rush over." I smiled wickedly, and

without saying anything more, I prepared to get up. I looked at the powerless beauty and hesitated for a moment.

"Husband! Get up if you want! We need to rest a bit more. We'll have Xiaoyun cleanse us. Don't worry, husband."

Chang Nonghuan said to me with a smile.

I got up and left, letting them continue to rest.

In the study, "What? You're going to investigate the situation at the Nine Heavens Demon Palace?" I raised an eyebrow at Yu Xuanzi.

"That's right, I'm going to see what tricks they're up to." Yu Xuanzi looked at me seriously.

"Damn it. It seems that person has ignited your anger. Interesting. You should vent it on your wife instead of sacrificing yourself

." I said to him wickedly.

"Boss, I'm serious." Yu Xuanzi slammed his fist on the table angrily.

"I know, but I just won't agree. Do you know I've already sent a lot of people to handle this? You have your own things to do, and

your wife needs someone to take care of her. Do you want her to be alone in her empty room?" I ignored his decision and got up to leave.

"Boss, where are you going!" Yu Xuanzi asked dejectedly.

"Of course, I'm going to see Xiang Wan and the others. I hurt them badly." I said and left.

"Are you kidding me? All you want are women, aren't you afraid of being schemed against by them?" Wang Xuanzi followed me out and muttered.

"I know, you're never going to say anything nice." I said with disgust.

"You're not a good person either." Yu Xuanzi said, watching my back.

"Young Master!" Seeing me enter, Xiao Zhu and Xiao Yun, who were tidying up, obediently went out. He Xiang Wan and the other two, who had been feeling weak

all over since waking up, were lying on the bed reading. Hearing my voice, they both looked at me.

I saw the two beautiful and charming women and sighed in my heart at my good fortune.

"Husband!" He Xiangwan called to me with a smile. I took off my shoes, slipped between the two of them, and pulled them into my arms, saying, "Husband,

I didn't hurt you just now, did I? Does it still hurt?" My gentle words made the two women blush, which made me smile happily. I slid my body further down,

burying my head under the covers.

"Oh! Husband! No..." Chang Nonghuan exclaimed in surprise. I had already taken off her trousers and started kissing her from her fair thighs upwards.

When He Xiangwan was about to lift the covers, Chang Nonghuan stopped her.

"Oh... Husband... It's dirty there... No... You can't..." A moan rose up, making He Xiangwan realize what was happening. My

nimble tongue also penetrated deep into her honeyed cave, sucking and teasing her! Chang Nonghuan put down her book and hugged my head. Spring tide was overflowing, but

the wound began to hurt. I heard a slight gasp.

I took out the medicine from my pocket, lightly touched it with my fingers, and applied it deep into her honeyed orifice. A cool sensation came from her lower body, which relaxed Chang Nonghuan considerably. She also

understood something.

"Husband, you..." Chang Nonghuan saw my head already emerging from under the covers, and hesitated to speak. I smiled wickedly, "Husband

took advantage, didn't he? Look how flushed you are."

"You're so annoying!" Chang Nonghuan gently pinched me under the covers, giving me a coquettish glare. Seeing He Xiangwan already blushing, I slipped back under the covers. He Xiangwan

immediately groaned, "Husband, no..." She squeezed her legs together, trapping me beneath her, making her face even redder.

Before she could react, I frantically covered her valley, sucking and biting, making He Xiangwan scream and groan. My lustful hands also thrust wildly.

With a cool sensation, He Xiangwan's passion subsided considerably, and she understood what I had just done. "My lord, let Xinmei and the others keep

you company tonight! You should make them your women, so they won't worry that you'll abandon them," He Xiangwan whispered in my arms

.

I smiled and nodded in agreement.

Outside the door, Defu respectfully said, "Master, Miss Ye has arrived." Upon hearing this, I hurriedly got up, but little did I know she would bring

me unexpected news.

Chapter Seven

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw Ye Wuxia, looking travel-worn, resting. She seemed truly exhausted; her whole body trembled upon seeing me,

showing her great excitement.

"Xiang... Oh!" Before she could finish speaking, I couldn't help but kiss her, passionately inhaling her fragrance, making

the women nearby blush.

"My darling, I've missed you so much! Did I think you didn't want to see me? Are you angry at my rudeness? You know I'm only

rude to those I like." I smiled wickedly, causing the beauty to bury her head in my chest in embarrassment.

"You rascal, you've really put me in a difficult position! I thought you didn't want me anymore." Seeing Ye Wuxia's aggrieved look, my heart inexplicably

twitched a few times.

"My darling, how could your husband not want you! You're someone I risked my life for." I kissed her several times before she hurriedly left

my side.

"You're so annoying! I have important business to discuss with you." Ye Wuxia realized she was increasingly unable to control her heart.

"Oh! What is it that made you come to tell me personally?" I asked with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

"What, can't I see you if there's nothing wrong?" Ye Wuxia asked, picking on my grammatical error.

"No, I just hope you won't leave and will stay by my side." I quickly tried to salvage the situation; if I angered my beauty, I would never have a happy

life.

"You're smart enough to know better. I'm here to tell you that my men have found out that the Nine Heavens Demon Palace and the British are involved in some kind of opium trade.

What is opium?" Ye Wuxia looked at me curiously.

"Are you sure it's opium, that it's an opium trade?" I stood up and asked.

"That's right, that's what my men reported. They all saw people smoking opium, it looked like a drug, and they seemed to be enjoying it very much." Ye Wuxia

saw my grave expression.

"Opium is a kind of drug that can control people. Once someone becomes addicted, they can't stop craving it. I only heard about

it from the French ambassador who came to visit before. I never imagined they would actually smuggle this stuff into our Great Qing to sell. It will harm many people. People who use it for a long time become

completely useless, just like the silver cinnabar powder circulating in Yunnan, with no antidote." I sighed, wondering why the Nine Heavens Demon Palace would want

this stuff.

"Then we should stop them! If it's used on martial arts practitioners, I don't think anyone would disobey."

Murong Tingyu said anxiously. Although she had decided to ignore matters of the martial arts world, she was, after all, a martial arts practitioner herself. "Don't worry, I will..."

" Write a memorial to my brother and have him investigate thoroughly. He hates this kind of thing, and the court doesn't want its officials, especially military officers and soldiers, to be involved in

it ." I leisurely held the pregnant and restless Murong Tingyu in my arms and said with a wicked grin.

"Husband, why don't you handle things yourself? You always leave them to others." Murong Tingyu looked at me curiously.

"Some things I can't do myself, so I leave them to others. It makes my life easier and I don't want to live too hard.

Fame and fortune are things I don't need. I just need to be happy." I stated my principles.

"It seems you know how to enjoy life. No wonder you have so many wives. How have you been, Your Highness?

" A handsome face appeared at the door, but he was very domineering, making people hesitant to approach.

"Lei Yu, you came back from the frontier without even telling me. You're so arrogant!" I smiled wickedly.

"Boss, if you're going to scheme against me, just say so. Don't talk to me like you're talking to that shameful, androgynous person. It kills my interest."

Lei Yu was naturally straightforward and easily offended people.

"Damn it, would it kill you to play along? You're not funny at all, and you're wasting the good woman I found for you to serve you."

I glanced at Lu'er next to Xi Yi. The timid Lu'er should be able to turn this man from steel to soft as a feather!

Xi Yi looked at me strangely, but was stunned by a voice that could make one's eardrums tingle. "Damn it, what did you say? Did I hear that right?

You found me a woman." Lei Yu roared angrily.

Lu'er, who was next to Xi Yi, was so scared that she wanted to run away. This man was terrifying!

"Damn it, can't you keep your voice down? They are my most precious women. If you scare them, I can't

guarantee that I won't give you some weird ideas." I saw Xi Yi and the other women's pale faces and gave them a serious warning.

"Uh! Boss, you wouldn't treat your loyal subordinate like this, would you?" Lei Yu asked as quietly as possible.

"Damn it, I'm doing this for your own good. Don't you think you're at the age where you should be getting married? Look at that guy surnamed Yu, he got married, didn't he?

I only have you and Lightning under my command. As for that person, I can't find a suitable one yet, but you have one. A very good

candidate , I guarantee it won't go wrong." I boasted wickedly.

"Boss, it's not that the woman you want is inconvenient, so you're forcing her on me, is it?" Lei Yu said, looking at my sly face with suspicion.

"Damn it, I'm trying to find you a beautiful and gentle wife, and you dare to insult me like this? Today, I'm going to make

you marry her no matter what. Tonight, you'll marry Lu'er, and let's see what you have to say then." I said with a satisfied smile.

"What? Miss, help..." Lu'er trembled all over in fear. Waaah... This man is so scary, I don't want to be pulled away, why

isn't saying anything?

"Husband, Lu'er is timid, don't tease her!" Xi Yi said with a smile, she was also a little worried that the timid Lu'er wouldn't adapt.

"Husband Xi Yi, I'm not teasing her, I just think that with Lei Yu's careful care, Lu'er will definitely be very happy." I

looked at the idiot who was already staring at Lu'er with a wicked smile, it seemed to be a good sign.

"Boss, you...she..." Lei Yu was already a little incoherent, "Damn, you're talking nonsense, Lu'er

and I are siblings, so what, you don't even like my god-sister?" I teased with a wicked smile.

"No...Boss, I didn't, it's just, how could you let go of such a beautiful woman, it's not like you." Lei Yu

quickly explained, he was worried that I would suspect his dissatisfaction with me.

"Oh! It seems that I have a lot of wives, it's not bad to give others a chance." I replied irritably, am I really that

bad?

"Boss! You..." Lei Yu bowed his head in obedience, speechless. Marrying a woman he liked wasn't bad.

But he hadn't expected that what I'd thrown at him was his own heartbreak. Lu'er was already terrified and couldn't breathe, and Xi Yi also had serious doubts about

whether could truly make Lu'er happy.

"Lei Yu, I must remind you, Lu'er is my precious Xi Yi's maid, and also my adopted sister. If you hurt even a

finger of hers, I will seek justice for her. Also, she's your wife, not your servant. I think you should understand that."

Seeing Xi Yi's worry, I warned her sternly.

"Boss, I'm going to use eight sedan chairs to bring her home. I can't have a hasty marriage with her tonight. I'm not some androgynous person who

doesn't understand etiquette." This was Lei Yu's answer after a moment's thought, then he turned and left to prepare for the wedding.

"Don't worry, Xiyi. Lu'er is still a princess, no matter how domineering that man is, he'll have to consider my feelings and won't dare to do anything to Lu'er,"

I comforted her carefully.

"Young master, why do I have to marry him? He's so scary!" Lu'er said anxiously, her expression very cute. If I

weren't so indifferent to her, I would really want to keep her by my side. But she has her own happiness. She's taken good care of Xiyi for so many years, and I should give her a good

husband .

"Don't worry, if he dares to bully you, just bring me, his sworn brother, into the picture, and he won't be mean to you anymore,"

I explained with a smile.

"I know, but I can't bear to leave Miss," Lu'er looked sadly at Xiyi.

"Don't worry, you can come back to see Xiyi often," I comforted her with a smile, then sat down in a chair with Murong Tingyu in my arms.

"Husband, are you going to hold the wedding with General Lei at the same time? Sister Ye is coming too," Shu'er said with a smile.

"You're right, it can indeed be held together. I wonder if my father-in-law has come yet?" I pondered.

"It'll be soon, probably arriving in the next few days," Xi Yi said upon receiving her brother's message.

"That's good then, I'll consummate our marriage today first," I said with a wicked smile.

"What! Husband, you..." Ye Wuxia looked at me in surprise, bewildered by my lack of manners.

"What, husband, are you not satisfied with consummating our marriage?" I asked, looking at her.

"No..." The beauty blushed at my question, giving me a coquettish glare.

I went into the study alone, calling Defu over and handing him the completed memorial to handle; this was a very important matter.

"Wuxia, these three-delicacy imperial dumplings are Shu'er's specialty; even the imperial chefs have to consult her. Try some," I said solicitously

, placing a few on her plate, which made the other women extremely jealous. I had no choice but to serve them to them one by one.

"Here, Xiang Wan, try this." I put a coral fish ball on her plate, making her happy for a while. Seeing the harmonious scene,

Nangong Bingxue and the other women eating on the other side couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Weiqi, this is your favorite golden threadfin bream, try it, I asked Shu'er to make it." My words surprised Shu'er and the other women

, who thought I would be concerned about our relationship.

"What's wrong with you all? And Weiqi, what's wrong?" Seeing her about to cry, my heart skipped a beat.

"It's nothing, husband, please eat too!" Weiqi gently put a chicken leg on my plate and said with a smile.

The other women also noticed the ambiguous atmosphere and thought it was nothing, they were already husband and wife, why bother about the past.

That night, I invited Weiqi and the others into the room. When Weiqi saw Ye Wuxia and the others, her heart almost stopped. Could it be! He wanted to

consummate the marriage .

Seeing Ye Wuxia, Shangguan Xin, and the other women, the first person I thought of was Weiqi. My burning gaze was irresistible to her. I suddenly picked her up and carried her to

the inner room, placing her on his bed. I quickly covered her with my body, letting her feel my heat.

"Baby, do you know? You make me so hot, making your husband want to cherish you forever," I told her. Then, my lips covered

her hands, beginning to roam over her body, skillfully removing the plain clothes that I found so offensive.

"You're not allowed to wear clothes like this anymore. You have a husband now." I threw her clothes and the white cloth strips under the bed, deciding to throw them away. I

wouldn't allow her to wear them again. Now, only my scent could remain on her, and only he could smell her fragrance.

As soon as I said those words, I froze, not understanding why I felt such a strong possessiveness towards her.

Weiqi didn't give me time to think. After I stopped moving, she took the initiative, starting to attack my clothes.

When her small hands successfully caressed my bare, muscular chest, she let out a satisfied sigh. Taking advantage of my inattention, she hugged me and flipped me over, so that she was on top and I was on the bottom.

Then she bent down and imitated what I had done to her before, licking and kissing him from top to bottom.

She was completely inexperienced and had no skill whatsoever, but when she opened her mouth and took the protrusion of my chest into her mouth, I almost couldn't resist and lost control.

I hugged her wildly and flipped her over, placing myself between her legs. My lips eagerly kissed her lips, and one hand explored downwards. After touching her

wetness, I couldn't wait to enter her.

Weiqi lifted her legs and wrapped them around my waist, welcoming me passionately, which drove me even more mad. I completely lost control,

riding her with unprecedented fervor…

The fierce passion quickly brought us to our final release. As her first shiver came, I simultaneously reached

the peak of ecstasy, and I didn't even have time to leave her. In fact, I didn't even think about leaving her; my seed remained inside this woman's

body.

Seeing the unconscious Weiqi, I glanced at the other three women, whose faces were already flushed with embarrassment. I smiled wickedly and attacked them

before .

"Husband, I haven't been feeling well these past few days and can't stay with you," Xiyi said softly, her face flushed. Ye Wuxia, standing beside her, nodded in agreement,

indicating that she was also unwell.

I stood there, as if doused with cold water. "Husband, please let Xiyi and the others leave! I will serve you," Shangguan Xin tempted me with a smile

, and I nodded in a daze.

The two women hurriedly left to avoid witnessing the blushing scene again. Shangguan Xin's blushing face made her even more beautiful, and I couldn't resist the urge to take a bite. I

couldn't help but move closer and kiss her apple-like cheek, the delicate fragrance emanating from her body making me lose control.

I kissed her luscious lips again, saying tenderly, "You smell so good." I parted her clothes with both hands. Oh, Shangguan Xin wondered

why her breathing was so difficult.

I seductively licked her lips, "I like this taste." Her hazy eyes were half-closed, and Shangguan Xin liked to hear my deep voice.

"Mmm." My nose brushed against her soft earlobe, causing her whole body to tremble.

The heat in my lower body was also a strange physiological reaction for me, the hard desire driving me crazy, but being considerate, I forced myself to slow down.

"Husband?" The unfamiliar desire made her whimper softly, my hand sliding down her side, untying the knot tied around her waist. I

knew her unease and tension, and immediately soothed her by moving my lips back to hers.

I gently silenced her weak protest, my nimble tongue licking the soft inside her mouth. Her snow-white body was imprinted in my eyes, and the burning

spark of desire was about to ignite. Shangguan Xin forced her eyes open; in my eyes, she saw the desire that I wanted her.

Dim light enveloped them, mixed with their heavy breathing. From the moment I possessed Shangguan Xin, I never stopped

; her sweetness stirred my heart, irresistibly leading her to the peak of desire time and time again.

"What did you say?" In the otherwise still night, a clear, bold voice broke the silence, and my anger

erupted amidst the constant stream of surprising news from Chasaha.

Chapter Eight "What did you say?" In the otherwise still night, a clear, bold voice broke the silence, and my anger erupted amidst the constant stream of surprising news

from Chasaha . 　　As the words fell, a loud "bang" followed by a cacophony of crackling noises erupted. 　　The disturbing sounds came from my study. A captivating smile played on the lips of the handsome young man in white. His long, slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the table as he asked in a gruff voice, "What did you say?" His tone, however, was completely different from his amiable expression. His bright eyes gleamed, almost sparking, and his words carried a palpable tension. 　　The group of guards in yellow jackets, armed with swords, standing nearby, dodged and weaved, those who couldn't escape using others as shields, just trying to avoid being hit by the barrage. 　　If they were unlucky enough to be at the front, at least they could take someone down with them; if they were accidentally blown up, at least they'd be somewhat more forgiving. 　　"Damn, nyyd, I...did I hear that right?!" As soon as I finished speaking, I raised an eyebrow and slammed my hands down on the table with a vengeance, splitting the short-lived coffee table in two. The tea set also suffered the same fate, shattering into pieces on the floor. 　　Looking at the mess and my father-in-law, Wang Shengde, frantically crouching down to grab half the coffee table for protection, I realized I had been too impulsive . I slowly withdrew my hand, trying to calm my agitated emotions. 　　I raised an eyebrow, trying hard to control my anger, wanting to maintain a respectful smile for my father-in-law, but the veins bulging on my forehead weren't cooperating. My hesitant movements only made my father-in-law more terrified.

Everyone stared intently at the ground, not daring to look at my furious expression. "I...we opened...we opened

the coffin of the Sixteenth Prince...and...there was nothing inside. We investigated further...and suspected...suspected that Prince De wasn't dead, and..." Chasaha

dared not speak further.

"Go on!" I said in a deep voice, sitting in my chair and listening. "Also, at Consort Weiqi's house, we...we discovered a group of warriors. It seems that everyone

in the household is being restricted in their movements. I...we..." Sweat dripped from Chasaha's forehead. My domineering aura made everyone

breathless.

"You told the Emperor about this, and he told me to handle it myself. You didn't just find someone to push the blame onto me.

Father-in-law, do you have something to do too?" I turned and asked.

My father-in-law, hiding behind the broken tea table, cautiously peeked out and fearfully replied, "The late Emperor ordered you, Your Highness, to

marry Su An, the daughter of the monk Ma Li, as a reward for her father's loyalty to our Great Qing."

"What?! That damned old man! Even in death, he won't let me go! He wants me to be given away as a gift! Are you kidding me? You

're my father-in-law! Can't you speak up for your son-in-law?" I shouted angrily.

This terrified Wang Shengde. "Son-in-law...don't be angry! I told you, the late Emperor said An is part of the dowry, to protect her from

the cold stares of others. The late Emperor said his son can bring happiness to any woman."

Seeing my father-in-law's cowardly state, I realized I had overestimated him. A man of integrity, unafraid of the powerful

, why was he so afraid of me today? Are you kidding me? He's my father-in-law!

"Alright, you're my father-in-law. What my father said was his dying wish, and I never disobeyed it. Forget it, have

n't I married enough women already? As long as the woman is willing, that's fine." Not wanting to upset Xiyi, he spoke softly.

"That...that's great! I'll go tell Old Master Su to come see the Prince and bring Anna as well.

" Wang Shengde hurriedly ran out, seeing his anxious daughter as he did so.

"Father, are you...are you alright? Why are you so nervous? Why is my husband so angry?" Xiyi asked anxiously, while

reprimands continued to come from inside. (www...com)

"It's nothing. The Prince is reprimanding his men. They made a mistake. Daughter, I thought your husband was a good-tempered person. I didn't expect him

to be so stern. Chief Steward Cha is about to become cannon fodder inside." Wang Shengde said tremblingly, still remembering my murderous gaze.

"Father! What did you say? My husband never gets angry. Maybe they made a big mistake!" Xi Yi explained to me.

"Oh! I was wondering what happened. My son-in-law is so fierce. He even broke the coffee table in two with a light tap." Wang Shengde said as he went out to

tell Su De the good news.

"Your Highness! You..." Chasaha hesitated, not daring to speak.

"Damn, you guys are too bold! Even I don't have the guts to open someone else's coffin. You actually opened that treacherous man

's coffin. Aren't you afraid he'll come after you?" I asked wickedly.

"Of course we're afraid. It would be a lie to say we're not afraid! Your Highness, you don't know. We discovered something strange. The other end of the cemetery leads to

an underground palace. We found a lot of muskets and gunpowder there. We switched the items, turning the gunpowder into dirt and the muskets into

wood." Chasaha said with great pride. He had taken advantage of everyone leaving and had his men finish the job overnight.

"Good! Very good. If Sixteenth Brother isn't dead, then he must have some serious schemes up his sleeve

. I'm going to see what tricks he's up to this time," I said wickedly.

"Your Highness, we'll also rescue your Queen's family while we're at it, making it look like a bandit raid, so no one will suspect anything,"

Chasaha told me carefully.

"Oh! It seems you've confirmed that Sixteenth Brother isn't dead. Looks like a very fun game is about to begin. If you push a dog too far,

it'll jump over the wall." A calculating glint flashed in my eyes.

"Your Highness, we haven't been on the battlefield for a long time. This time, we must do something good," Eidu suggested to me.

"Alright, I know you're all impatient, but I have more important matters to attend to. Mobilize all the soldiers and have them

go to all the government offices to collect all the opium. I think you won't forget

how many ." My wicked eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Your Highness, rest assured, we will definitely complete this task." E'idu said with great pride, patting his chest.

"Very good, very good. I'll be waiting for your news." I smiled and left the study. Seeing the women I had woken, I couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"I'm sorry, my darlings! I woke you up." Hearing my apology, Shu'er smiled gently and didn't say anything more. She pulled

Yuwei and the others away. Seeing their slightly protruding bellies, I couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"Husband, go and keep Xin'er and the others company! We don't blame you. You're a normal man, and you can't avoid making love."

Shu'er said with a smile. (:)

I turned and walked towards the bedroom. The two women were exhausted and fast asleep, completely unaware of what had happened outside.

The next day, I still bathed and applied medicine for them. I didn't expect that Weiqi, with whom I had made love, was still injured.

"Husband! You seem troubled." Seeing me standing silently in the pavilion, Shu'er asked worriedly.

"Nothing much? My husband is just a little worried. You don't know, my brother asked me to quell the rebellion, and I'm very anxious." I

sighed as I spoke to all the women.

"I know there's been an uprising in Sichuan. I didn't expect you to be the one to quell it." He Xiangwan said gently.

"Alas, I didn't want to either. You don't know, asking me to bombard the Qing people with cannons, I really don't have the courage.

Asking me to use cannons against the enemy outside, I can order the cannons to fire without hesitation, but... alas!" I shook my head and sighed bitterly.

"Husband, don't feel embarrassed. If it's a rebellion, as a Manchu prince, it's my duty to quell it. You should understand that."

Yuwei nestled my head against her chest and said.

In the beauty's arms, I tried to absorb her tenderness. "My darling, I don't want my title to become any less prestigious. You

've already suffered so much by following me." I held her in my arms and sucked the sweet saliva from her mouth.

"You're so annoying! You only know how to take advantage of others." Yuwei looked at me coquettishly.

I laughed heartily, feeling relieved by their understanding.

"Brother-in-law! You haven't finished teaching me Tai Chi yet! There's still the martial arts tournament, but it's not being held today. What? If you're not going, it won't

be held !" Murong Xiaoqi exclaimed dramatically.

"You little rascal! Alright, today I'll teach you the later stages. You're such a martial arts fanatic, be careful you won't be able to find a woman in the future!" I

teased with a smile, getting up as I did so. (www.com)

In the garden, I taught him the third level of Tai Chi. Although his internal energy was flowing smoothly and his movements were relatively coordinated, and

he internal energy was still relatively weak, and the coordination between his muscles and internal organs

was not yet stable.

Therefore, in combative push hands and fighting, when faced with relatively gentle attacks, he could yield to the opponent, adapt to the situation, guide the opponent's momentum,

lead them into emptiness, avoid the strong and attack the weak, and move freely. When encountering a formidable opponent, one will feel a lack of "peng" (warding off) power, with a tendency to feel the body's movements become crooked and flat (potentially disrupting

the balanced, all-around support, and invincible stance). One cannot act freely, nor can one achieve the "hands outward,

unseen .

Leading and striking the opponent will often feel stiff and forced, hence the saying, "Even with three yin and seven yang, it still feels hard."

The fourth level of skill progresses from the middle circle to the small circle, demonstrating a high level of mastery and approaching success. One must fully grasp the specific methods of practice,

the key points of , the combat implications of each posture, the circulation of internal energy, precautions, and the coordination of breathing and movement.

However, during practice, one must also be mindful that every extension and step must be performed with the intention of facing an enemy, assuming that enemies are all around. Each move must be continuous and coordinated

throughout the body , with the flow of internal energy controlled throughout, achieving a state where "there is no one, yet there is someone."

My detailed explanation amused Shu'er and the others. "Wow, that's amazing! Even more skillful than Dad's Tai Chi! Can I learn it

?" Tong Yunyue asked curiously.

I laughed heartily. "Sure," she said, pulling me back to reality.

"Oh! Father-in-law, you seem to know Old Master Su quite well. Was he an official before?" I looked thoughtfully at Su Anna's grandfather, Su De.

"How could a commoner like you, Your Highness, have met him?" Su De said politely.

I smiled calmly and glanced at Su Anna. "No need for such formalities. Priest Ma Li was once my teacher. I think our relationship

must be quite extraordinary."

Su De looked at me with surprise. I smiled mischievously. "I should call you Grandpa, don't worry, I won't bully your granddaughter. She

will be my precious darling."

"Grandpa!..." Su Anna looked at me, wanting to say something, but Su De stopped her.

I looked at the grandfather and granddaughter, smiling calmly. "Say whatever you want! You can say whatever you want to me, even curse

."

"Uh! Son-in-law, it's not like that. Old Master Su wants you to go to Yangzhou to travel and experience the local customs."

Seeing my father-in-law's hesitant expression, I seemed to understand something.

"Okay! I've heard that Yangzhou's pleasure boats are famous throughout the world. I'd like to go see them, but I'll have to wait until after the martial arts tournament." I nodded in agreement. It

seems that unless there's some important person in Yangzhou, they wouldn't speak like this. It seems Luo Fangxin has omitted something

. "Then, son-in-law, we'll head back. How about the wedding be held in three days?" Wang Shengde asked me with satisfaction.

I looked at the women who were already blushing, smiling wickedly. "Sure, I'll mobilize the men to prepare immediately."

"Anna, you can stay here and get acquainted with the Prince!" Su De looked at his granddaughter, smiling calmly. Granddaughter, the people of Yangzhou are counting on

you to bring down those few powerful figures.

Suanna nodded firmly, watching her grandfather leave. I went to the beauty's side and whispered, "Give me your hand."

Seeing the harmless look in her eyes, Suanna reassured herself and gave me her hand. This man, rumored to be a lecherous man with countless wives and concubines, was now a stranger to me.

I pulled her into my arms, lifting her up by the waist, making her blush. The blush on her fair, delicate face made my heart race. "Well

, I didn't realize that. You are both my precious darlings. What could I possibly hide from you

?" I smiled at them. "Come, come with me to see her. She's the daughter of a Han Chinese and an Englishman. I imagine she has

beautiful blue eyes."

"Is it Sister Anna? I've seen her. She's beautiful; any man would be attracted to her. But for some reason,

the women in my area call her a vixen." Xiyi told me the truth about Anna's situation, unaware that her words made my brows furrow.

Could it be? Father Ma Li is a good friend of my father's; his daughter should have a high status, no matter what.

"Then let's go see her! A stunning beauty, we have no reason to keep her waiting." I smiled wickedly. What belongs to me, I

won't let leave.

In the hall, two ruddy-faced old men were sitting together, chatting happily, and the beauty beside them made me admire her even more! What a

captivating beauty! That alluring face that could make any man fantasize, especially those blue eyes, almost made my soul

leave my body. She made my possessiveness grow stronger and stronger.

At this moment, the beauty felt the burning gaze and looked in my direction. Seeing my direct, lustful gaze, she

blushed her heart pounded. Her obedient maid, Ping'er, noticed that her master was acting strangely and hurriedly sought help from the old men chatting.

"Uh! Son-in-law, you've come..." Wang Shengde smiled and pulled me back to reality.

"Oh! Father-in-law, you seem to know Old Su very well. Was he an official before?" I looked thoughtfully at Su Anna's grandfather, Su De.

"How could a commoner like you, Your Highness, possibly have met me?" Su De said politely.

I smiled calmly and glanced at Su Anna. "No need for such formalities. Priest Ma Li was once my teacher. I think our relationship

should be quite extraordinary."

Su De looked at me in surprise. I smiled mischievously. "I should call you Grandpa. Don't worry, I won't bully your granddaughter. She

will be my precious darling."

"Grandpa!..." Su Anna looked at me, wanting to say something, but Su De stopped her.

I looked at the grandfather and granddaughter and smiled calmly. "Say whatever you want! You can say whatever you want here. Even cursing

is fine with me."

"Uh! Son-in-law, it's not like that. Old Master Su wants you to go to Yangzhou for a visit and experience the local customs."

Seeing my father-in-law's hesitant expression, I seemed to understand something.

"Alright! I've heard that Yangzhou's pleasure boats are famous throughout the land. I'd like to go see them, but I'll have to wait until after the martial arts tournament." I nodded in agreement.

It seems that unless there's some important figure in Yangzhou, they wouldn't speak like this. It seems Luo Fangxin has omitted something.

"Then, son-in-law, we'll head back now. How about the wedding be held in three days?" Wang Shengde asked me with satisfaction.

I looked at the blushing women and smiled wickedly. "Sure, I'll mobilize the men to prepare immediately."

"Anna, you can stay here and get acquainted with the Prince!" Su De looked at his granddaughter and smiled calmly. Granddaughter, the people of Yangzhou are counting on

you to bring down those few powerful figures.

Su Anna nodded firmly, watching her grandfather leave. I went to the beauty's side and whispered, "Give me your hand."

Seeing that there was no malice in her eyes, Su Anna reassured herself and gave me her hand. This man, rumored to be a womanizer with countless wives and concubines...

I pulled her into my arms, lifting her up by the waist, making her blush. The blush on her fair, delicate face made my heart race. "What

a stunningly beautiful foreign woman! It seems I'm quite lucky. How about you accompany your husband to the martial arts tournament, my beauty?" I suggested.

"Anna will do whatever you say, my husband," Su Anna said, clinging tightly to my neck, afraid of falling.

"Then let's go! Let's see what even my guards find interesting." I winked at Shu'er and the other women, signaling

them to come with me.

Inside the spacious carriage, Su Anna chatted with the other women, leaving me alone on the side. Seeing

the worry , pained me. I didn't know how to ask her what she knew.

Weiqi looked at me, who was completely absorbed

in my presence, and seemed somewhat at a loss. Ever since she had given me pleasure in our intimate moments, she found herself hopelessly dependent on me. Every night, she longed for me to be by her side, forgetting her hatred and her mission. The thought of her mission made

her tremble inexplicably.

My heart ached for her. What couldn't she tell me? Couldn't she see the love I had for her?

Seeing her trembling body, my heart ached, and I moved closer, pulling her into my arms. I smiled and said, "Baby, what are you doing? You're shaking all over.

I'm so curious about what happened to you that made you so scared and worried. It breaks my heart."

Seeing my furrowed brows, Weiqi gently stroked them, unaware that her own brow was also furrowed. I kissed her brow and whispered in her ear,

"Baby! No matter what happened, please tell your husband. I promise I'll handle everything for you, even if it costs me my life."

"Why?... " Weiqi looked at me earnestly and murmured. "

What, why? You're my wife, it's normal to be favored. Besides, I'm a natural womanizer. I wouldn't ignore someone

as ." I wickedly stole a kiss from her cheek.

"Husband, please, please don't be so good to me! I can't take it!" Weiqi suddenly burst into tears.

"Baby, what's wrong? Heaven, don't cry! As long as you don't cry, I'll do anything for you." I gently coaxed her

. Almost all the women who were talking looked at me anxiously and glared at me angrily.

"Husband, you're bullying Sister Weiqi! Look how sad she is crying." Yuwei looked at me angrily and scolded me.

"Uh! No, I was afraid she was lonely, so I just wanted to love her and talk to her. I didn't expect her to cry. Don't look at me like that. You are all

my darlings, and I won't bully you." I swore to the heavens.

Weiqi calmed herself down, gave me a resentful look, and said calmly, "I didn't bully you. I just remembered some unpleasant

things." There was a strangeness in Weiqi's eyes. It seemed she had returned to her own world. What should I do? This is a very troublesome matter. I already have her

in my heart . What should I do? 　　I sighed, kissed the beauty's forehead, and let her lie in my arms. "How wonderful it would be if I could hold you like this forever," I said slowly and aimlessly. 　　Weiqi's heart skipped a beat, and I could clearly feel her back stiffen. Her heart was pounding, and she didn't know how to handle things between . She had to get revenge, she had to scheme against me. She lay in my arms without making a sound. 　　In the carriage, only the voices of Shu'er and the other women could be heard discussing jewelry. I listened quietly. Women will always be women; who doesn't want beauty? 　　"Husband, Sister Shu'er's bracelet is so pretty, I want one too," Qinxin said coquettishly beside me. 　　I amused her and smiled at her. "Okay! Husband will buy you one. Are you really my group of talented wives ? I thought I was in a jewelry store today." 　　"You're so annoying! Shouldn't husband be giving us things to make us happy?" Shangguan Xin pouted at me. 　　"Alright, I'll take you there. We have plenty of jewelry at home, you can have whatever you want," I said, shaking my head, only to be met with eye-rolls. 　　"Master, we've arrived. Everyone's waiting for the Prince's arrival," Defu said from outside. 　　"Then get out of the carriage! It's not good to keep them waiting." I gestured, then helped Weiqi down from the carriage, followed by all the women , including He Xiangwan and the others in the other carriage. 　　A prince must have the air of a prince. The Governor-General of Liangjiang, knowing I was attending the martial arts tournament, immediately dispatched troops to protect me. The martial arts arena was surrounded by the four banners under my command , with musket teams lined up neatly. Upon seeing me, everyone raised their guns and stood in formation. 　　"Prince Gong has arrived!" Defu shouted with imposing authority, and everyone knelt down, no one daring to raise their heads. 　　After leading the women to their seats, I winked at Defu. "Everyone, you can rise now. The duel begins. The final winner will become the true leader of the martial arts world. Also, His Highness dislikes bloodshed, so please show mercy when you fight." 　　The sound of gongs and drums rang out, and standing on the stage were none other than Zhu Ling of Wudang and Zhao Qifeng of Libie Manor. Of course, this was deliberately . He actually used the brothel dispute to turn these two into enemies. It seemed like quite a show indeed. 　　Zhu Ling used the Wudang Xuanxu Saber Technique, while Zhao Qifeng used the Shaolin Burning Wood Saber Technique. Both were trained by famous masters. Seeing the scene of enemies meeting such intense hatred puzzled me. But after looking at the smug Yu Xuanzi, I immediately understood. 　　"Damn, nyyd, really impressive. Even using the provocation tactic. It seems like quite a show indeed." I transmitted my voice to the man who looked like a woman. 　　"Of course, without a little something extra, how can acrobatics be more interesting?" Yu Xuanzi replied with a smile.

Just as we were talking, the people on the stage started fighting. Zhu Ling suddenly leaped into the air, unleashing a move called "Flying Snow," her

steel blade flashing with countless cold rays as it swept towards Zhao Qifeng's waist! Zhao Qifeng dodged.

With a quick pull and a thrust of his arm, Zhao Qifeng executed "Drawing the Bow to Gaze at the Moon," his hands wielding the Flaming Blade, creating a dazzling flash of light. Just as he dodged, he swiftly

slashed back at Zhu Ling's waist, aiming for her left hand!

Zhu Ling countered with "Parting the Clouds to See the Sun," feinting a slash at Zhao Qifeng with her steel blade, then suddenly turning to strike at his right hand!

Zhao Qifeng swung his Flaming Blade, slashing and parrying, unleashing a move called "Raging Fire Soaring Through the Clouds," creating gusts of wind with each circle, each swirling

a different stream of energy, all enveloping Zhu Ling!

Zhu Ling moved with the blade, a flash of blue light, unleashing a move called "Eagle Gazing at the Moon," aimed directly at Zhao Qifeng's right shoulder. The blade, half-circling, suddenly shifted direction,

slashing diagonally at Zhao Qifeng's neck!

Zhao Qifeng channeled his internal energy with a move called "Turning Wood into Fire," imbuing his flaming blade with fiery red energy, swiftly drawing a large arc as it

slashed downwards towards Zhu Ling's groin!

"Damn it, using such a ruthless move! You have no basic chivalry! I'll fight you to the death!" Zhu Ling roared.

Immediately, Zhu Ling used a move called "Wind Sweeps the Mountain," slashing his steel blade towards his lower body, then suddenly thrusting it towards Zhao Qifeng's neck!

Zhao Qifeng leaped into the air, unleashing a powerful "King and Stone Burn Together" move mid-air, his flaming blade slashing rapidly, a tidal wave of blade shadows sweeping towards Zhu Ling's entire body like

a tidal wave !

Zhu Ling sensed something was wrong and hurriedly dodged to the side. Unexpectedly, Zhao Qifeng pressed his advantage, using a move called "Pulling Chestnuts from the Fire," drawing a large circle before leaping onto

his left foot . His flaming blade shot forward, its blade moving with the force of a sword, accompanied by a scorching wind, aiming for Zhu Ling's left foot!

At this point, I couldn't bear to watch any longer. A high-level swordsmanship being used by a low-level opponent, and deliberately ambushing someone! "Zhao Qifeng, the duel should end when the point is reached

. Please don't strike again," Tong Yunyue said in a low voice, sensing the danger.

I also agreed, using my internal energy to remotely strike pressure points, stopping the duel. Everyone looked at me, awaiting my judgment.

Without Heaven, angels would no longer sing; without Hell, demons would wander; without Earth, the world would perish;

without you, my dreams would be lost. Even if Heaven were beautiful, angels would slumber; even if Hell were magnificent, demons would still wander; even if

Earth did not disappear, the world would continue its march towards destruction…

Chapter Ten

. After a moment of contemplation, I smiled and said, “Let’s call it a draw! But I’m more looking forward to their master’s duel. Their swordsmanship has

many flaws. Although they have mastered the complete set of swordsmanship, it’s not refined.”

As soon as I said this, it surprised many people. They could actually see the refinement of the swordsmanship. It seems my strength cannot be

ignored.

“Alright, let’s not go up on stage with those first-generation people. Esteemed sect leaders, we are here today to compete in martial arts to see who is the leader of the martial arts alliance,

not to exchange skills. Let me take the lead and ask the sect leaders what they think.” Nangong Taiji spoke.

Seeing his calm and composed appearance, I was annoyed. He’s trying to steal my thunder, is he mistaken? "

I want to see just how powerful your Enigmatic Swordplay is, Nangong Taiji."

"Alright, since Elder Nangong is going first, then let's have our Shaolin Sect compete first! I, Zhiming, will represent our Sect Leader

!" Zhiming flashed onto the platform.

The atmosphere was incredibly tense and serious; even the women, Qin Xin and the others who didn't know martial arts, felt it. They sought comfort in my arms, and I

whispered reassuring words to them, trying to calm their fear.

Nangong Taiji's move, "Parting Flowers and Willows," saw his sword shadows part like snowflakes, attacking Zhiming with unpredictable movements towards his

left shoulder . Zhiming, using the Shaolin Compassionate Saber Technique, leaped down with a "Pushing Open the Window to Gaze at the Moon" move, his blade flashing, slashing towards

Nangong Taiji's chest!

Nangong Taiji, unfazed, unleashed another move, "Roaming the Northern Desert," deflecting the blade with exquisite skill. Zhiming countered with

"Straight to the Point," his steel blade sweeping across the battlefield in a wide arc, slashing straight down at Nangong Taiji!

Nangong Taiji countered with "Heaven and Earth Splitting," his sword slashing downwards with a deafening roar, aimed directly at Zhiming! Zhiming responded

with "Child Hanging a Painting," his legs lightly touching the ground as he raised and lowered his steel blade, aiming for Nangong Taiji's neck!

At the same moment, Nangong Taiji channeled his energy into "Thunder and Lightning," his sword tip flashing a blue light that shot through the air towards Zhiming's upper body! Zhiming,

his steel blade pointed diagonally, used "Stopping to Ask for Directions," pausing briefly before slashing at Nangong Taiji's right foot!

Nangong Taiji spun around, twisting his waist, his right hand forming a circle, executing a move called "Horse Kicks Falling Flowers," his sword thrusting straight forward towards Zhiming! Zhiming's

steel saber sank, executing a move called "Watching Fish by the Stream," his two hands gripping the blade as he slashed back at Nangong Taiji's chest!

Nangong Taiji stepped forward, straightening his back, executing a move called "Overwhelming Force," his sword moving with incredible slowness as he gently swung it towards Zhiming's upper body! Zhiming executed a move called "

Wind Sends a Light Boat," his left foot landing gracefully, his steel saber slicing forward with a whoosh, aiming for Nangong Taiji's right arm!

Growing increasingly impatient, Nangong Taiji decided to unleash a powerful move to force Zhiming out of the ring. He half-bent, half-squatted, executing a move called

"Human and God Spray Together," his sword tip drawing countless circles, a sudden gust of wind rising, enveloping the heavens and earth! But Zhiming seemed completely oblivious to the danger. He stood

cross-legged , unleashing a "flowing river" technique, sending a flurry of sword shadows towards Nangong Taiji!

Nangong Taiji slightly shifted his body, his sword tracing a wide arc from left to right, executing a "going with the flow" move, levelly aiming at Zhiming! Zhiming

wielded his steel saber, using a "drawing the bow and looking down" technique, slashing upwards and downwards, blocking left and right, all aimed at Nangong Taiji! Unexpectedly, his internal energy was

insufficient ; the sword tip was already pointing at Zhiming's throat. Zhiming wisely lowered his steel saber.

"I lost. On behalf of the Shaolin School, I support Elder Nangong as the leader of the martial arts alliance," Zhiming said conceding defeat.

His words delighted Nangong Taiji. "Anyone else want to come up and fight me!" he shouted from above, seemingly as a show of force.

"Then let me have a match with Brother Nangong." Tong Xiaoping, the leader of Wudang, leaped onto the stage. He used Wudang's Taiji

sword technique, which immediately piqued my interest. It seemed like a fierce battle, with both sides evenly matched, a test of strategy.

Nangong Taiji immediately used his move, "Opening Heaven and Earth," his sword slashing downwards with a deafening roar, aimed directly at

Tong Xiaoping Tong Xiaoping immediately stood up, his feet together, his longsword in both hands, and unleashed "White Ape Offering Fruit," thrusting forward

at Nangong Taiji's left foot!

Seeing Nangong Taiji dodge, Tong Xiaoping turned and twisted his waist, his right hand feigning an embrace, unleashing a move called "Parting the Clouds to Gaze at the Sun," his longsword thrusting straight forward,

aiming squarely and peacefully at Nangong Taiji's right cheek! As a result, despite Nangong Taiji's dodge, the sword pierced his right hand, leaving a wound.

Interesting, more exciting than watching a circus act, I was thoroughly enjoying myself. Nangong Taiji's face darkened, his murderous aura

growing stronger; I was even a little worried that my father-in-law might get hurt.

Enraged, Nangong Taiji unleashed a move, "Parting Flowers and Sweeping Willows," his sword flashing like snowflakes as he attacked Tong Xiaoping, his attacks unpredictable,

sweeping towards his left shoulder. Tong Xiaoping stepped back with his right foot, turned, and counterattacked with his right hand, his longsword flashing backward in a move called "Great Roc Spreading its Wings," aiming for Nangong Taiji

's head! Nangong Taiji managed to dodge it.

Then, Nangong Taiji unleashed a move called "Opening Heaven and Splitting Earth," his sword slashing downwards with a deafening roar, aimed directly at Tong Xiaoping!

Tong Xiaoping countered with "Wind Sweeping Plum Blossoms," his body spinning rapidly, his right hand wielding his sword with lightning speed,

sweeping towards Nangong Taiji's back!

Nangong Taiji, unfazed, countered with "Roaming the Northern Desert," a masterful parry. Tong Xiaoping then stepped forward with his right foot

, executing "Retrieving the Moon from the Sea," his sword arcing from top to bottom, aiming for Nangong Taiji's right cheek!

Nangong Taiji seemed to anticipate this attack, immediately turning and twisting his waist, his right hand forming a circle, executing "Horse Kicks Falling Flowers," his sword thrusting

straight towards Tong Xiaoping!

I understood his intention; there was no need to watch any longer. Even if Tong Xiaoping was incredibly powerful, he could only be manipulated by this old fox.

Tong Xiaoping raised his left leg, turned, and took a step forward, then followed with his right foot, unleashing a move called "Yellow Peak Enters the Threat," his longsword thrusting straight towards

Nangong Taiji 's left leg!

Nangong Taiji also channeled his energy, unleashing "Thunder and Lightning," his sword tip flashing a blue light that shot through the air towards Tong Xiaoping's upper body! Moreover, he used

the unpredictable attack style altered by Nangong Bingxue. Tong Xiaoping responded with some surprise, his right leg half-bent as he squatted, executing a move called "Like Sealing

and Closing," forming a sword incantation, his sword tip pointing vaguely, turning to slash at Nangong Taiji's right leg!

"Boss, who do you think will win?" Yu Xuanzi asked me telepathically.

"I'll know it's that old fox who wins. You don't know how clever he is, completely luring my poor father-in-law into a deadly trap," I

sighed as I told him, then started teasing Shu'er if I didn't want to watch.

Nangong Taiji immediately unleashed a powerful move. He half-bent, half-squatted, executing the "Man and God Spray Together" technique, his sword tip drawing countless circles,

creating a sudden gust of wind that enveloped the heavens and earth! However, he also incorporated the split-light sword technique taught to him by his daughter, including Murong Tingyu's technique, resulting in a dazzling

display . Just as the sword tip swept towards him, Tong Xiaoping stepped forward with his right foot, raised his left knee, and thrust his longsword forward,

executing the "Birds Returning to the Forest" move from above, aiming for Nangong Taiji's abdomen!

Seeing Nangong Taiji's dodge, Tong Xiaoping immediately countered with the "Dragon Swings its Tail," shifting his right foot into a feint, retracting his right hand, and simultaneously slashing

downwards to cut Nangong Taiji's neck! Nangong Taiji slightly shifted his body, his sword drawing a large arc from left to right, executing the "Going with the Flow" move, levelly

striking towards Tong Xiaoping's body!

Tong Xiaoping, underestimating his opponent, planted his left foot firmly while his right foot made a feint, unleashing a move called "Immortal Points the Way," his right hand wielding a longsword with a flourish, aiming for Nan

Gong Taiji's chest! But Nan Gong Taiji dodged with his lightness skill, pointing his sword directly at Tong Xiaoping's chest.

"Father, how could this be?" Tong Yunyue looked at the stage in astonishment, unable to believe her father had been defeated.

The two great masters of the martial arts world had both fallen, but there were still others who wanted to try, perhaps with a bit of luck, they could win.

"Who else wants to compete? I'll fight him." Nan Gong Taiji arrogantly shouted from above.

"Husband! Do you want the Nan Gong family to become the leader of the martial arts world?" He Xiangwan asked telepathically.

I picked up the tea Shu'er had given me, took a couple of sips, and then offered a cup to Weiqi, Shangguan Xin, and the other women. I transmitted my voice, saying, "Didn't you see that Shui Xian

didn't make a move? Since everyone wants that position, I think it's more worthwhile if the most beautiful woman in the world takes it. It seems

Nangong Bingxue won't interfere. Besides, if it weren't for someone being wary of the Goddess's Princess Suxin Sword Technique, I

don't think Nangong Taiji could have gotten the position." He Xiangwan looked at me in surprise. She thought I would compete for it

, but I had

no interest whatsoever. "Husband, having Shui Xian lead is indeed good, but she's a woman. I'm afraid some people will be dissatisfied." "It doesn't matter. With you as my backer, do you think any bastard below would dare disrespect me?"

This back-and-forth conversation amused He Xiangwan. She gave me a charming look, which made half the men below extremely jealous.

Nangong Bingxue and the other women were astonished to see me openly flirting with them.

"Miss, is that He Xianzi? She seems like a completely different person now," Mingqin exclaimed in surprise.

"Xiang Wan has found someone she loves and has laid down the burdens of the martial world. She's just an ordinary woman now. Haven't you noticed how maternal

Qingran and Tingyu have become? Even the leader of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect has submitted to him. That man is no simpleton." Shui Xian glanced calmly at

me, who was joking with Chang Nonghuan.

"Shui Xian can analyze it all. It seems their changes are really significant. The list of beauties has suddenly dwindled to only five. It seems a bit

overwhelming . From that man's eyes, I can see that he has sworn to wipe us out completely. None of us can escape," Tong Yunyue

expressed her feelings.

"Heavens! Xiaoyue, what are you talking about? Don't scare us. That man is a lecher. I hate him to death!" Xiao Xiang protested vehemently

, while the other women remained silent.

"Xiangmei, you'd better say less. That man didn't bombard your house with cannons, which is already a huge favor. What I find strange

is that he didn't offend you, so why do you hate him so much?" Tong Yunyue teased with a smile.

"Xiaoyue, you're the one I hate the most! I just can't stand him. How can a lecherous man have so many beautiful and gentle

women following him? He should be struck by lightning!" Xiao Xiang still complained.

"Okay, Xiang'er, at least he's not as immoral as those men who deceive women's feelings, so don't be so angry!

Anyway, you won't marry him. Don't you like Xiaoyue's second senior brother, Luo Sheng?

Why not consider him?" Tang Wan'er teased gently.

"Wan'er, you're making fun of me now. I like Luo Sheng, but he's hundreds of times better than that man." Xiao Xiang protested

.

"But Luo Sheng likes Xiaoyue, and Xiaoyue treats that man like a brother. It's going to be complicated between you two." Nangong Bingxue pointed out the obvious.

"Bingxue, your words will hurt Xiangmei's fragile heart," Tong Yunyue said, looking at her already furrowed brows.

"I just want you to understand that this matter is very troublesome. Xiaoyue should handle it, and it's time for Xiangmei to fight for it. Don't

let yourselves walk into a dead end; that's the last thing I want to see. Sometimes I really envy Linglong's innocence." Nangong Bingxue looked at

Mo Linglong, who was happily eating snacks, completely oblivious to the strange events in the martial world.

"Bingxue, you will find someone you like, don't worry," Tong Yunyue smiled calmly.

"Even someone as smart as Xiaoyue can't find someone, how can I? Let fate decide!" Nangong Bingxue sealed her heart, not letting

anyone in.

Tong Yunyue didn't say much. When she saw the gentle look in Tang Wan'er's eyes, she sensed something. It seemed someone else had fallen for her. She should

give Xiang Wan a heads-up.

When Nangong Taiji defeated the last person who dared to challenge him, the entire audience fell silent. "Who else dares to come up and fight me?"

Nangong Taiji surveyed the crowd below.

"Miss, you..." Mingqin looked at her mistress. "To uphold the dignity of the palace, I must act. Give me the sword!"

Shuixian spun around and stepped onto the stage.

"Elder Nangong, please forgive my rudeness. I have come to learn from you, senior?" Shuixian's voice was icy, just like her gaze. She

always wore a veil, a rule of the Goddess Palace that no one could disobey, and also a very alluring thing about her.

I hadn't looked away from her since she stepped onto the stage, and her sword was already drawn.

Although Shuixian's Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique was exquisite, she lacked practical combat experience, which was why Mingqin was worried about her mistress.

"Then I will also see today just how subtle the Goddess Palace's Princess Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique is," Nangong Taiji said with a smile.

Shui Xian, with her right hand, executed a move called "Painting Eyebrows with a Colorful Brush," mimicking the act of dressing up behind a curtain, her face flushed with

shyness . Her steel sword, however, didn't stop, aiming straight for Nangong Taiji!

Simultaneously, she used "Parting Flowers and Sweeping Willows," the steel sword seemingly moving left but actually right, seemingly right but actually left, its true form indistinguishable, also aiming for Nangong Taiji's throat! Nangong Taiji, unfazed, unleashed a move called "Opening Heaven and Earth," his sword slashing downwards with a deafening roar, the blade shooting straight out and crashing

towards Shui Xian! Shui Xian, not to be outdone, used "Playing the Qin and Flute," her steel sword held horizontally in front of her navel, mimicking playing a qin, then thrusting out to the center, slashing horizontally

at Nangong Taiji's lower body!

This move made me smile; it was indeed exquisite. I wondered how that old fox would deal with it. But then, Nangong Taiji used "Roaming the Northern Desert,"

not only deflecting the sword attack but also striking Shui Xian's left shoulder. His swordsmanship was incredibly refined, making me quite worried.

Unexpectedly, Narcissus's move, "Under the Flowers and Moon," saw her steel sword tremble like flowers waving in the wind, slashing back and forth at Nangong Taiji's upper body! And

before Nangong Taiji could dodge, she used "Raising the Tray to Eyebrows," gripping the hilt with both hands, raising the sword upwards to slash at Nangong Taiji

's lower body!

"Good! Let's beat that old turtle!" I shouted excitedly, causing the audience to stare in surprise, followed by laughter.

Nangong Taiji after dodging, glared at me angrily.

"Uh! Sorry, I was just being rude. I was talking about cricket fighting, not you, boss. Please continue." I said with a smile,

ignoring glancing at the wooden box in my hand. But instead of crickets, it contained a hairpin. I hadn't expected this thing to save my life.

Enraged, Nangong Taiji pointed his sword at Shuixian. He too channeled his energy, unleashing "Thunder and Lightning," a streak of blue light

flashing hurtled towards Shuixian's upper body! To my alarm, this old fox had actually stolen someone else's technique, swung his sword back and forth, striking Shuixian repeatedly.

"Damn it, cheating like this, how did he fail the imperial examinations?" I cursed inwardly.

Shuixian stepped forward, pointing with her left hand, and with her right, she unleashed a "Wandering the World" strike with her steel sword, aiming straight for Nangong Taiji's lower body! Then, she took

two more , executing a "Mulan Returns Shot," suddenly thrusting her sword backwards towards Nangong Taiji's right hand!

This truly astonished me; this swordsmanship was clearly incredibly refined.

Nangong Taiji immediately unleashed his formidable attack. His legs were half-bent, half-squatting as he executed the move "Outrage Against Gods and Men," his sword tip drawing countless circles, a sudden gust

of wind sweeping across the heavens and earth! He aimed a straight strike at Shui Xian's abdomen, but she flipped her sword tip upwards, pointing it at her cherry lips, executing the move "A Sip of Delight,"

as if raising a cup to drink, sweeping across Nangong Taiji's waist!

Then, her eyes filled with laughter, her brows brimming with charm, she executed the move "Shadow Follows," her shadow following Nangong Taiji's body, her figure

ethereal

, her sword gleaming! My heart was adrift; almost every man in the audience stared wide-eyed at the allure, some even experiencing nosebleeds. Nangong Taiji instinctively dodged, and before he could react, Shui Xian casually wielded her sword, displaying unparalleled elegance and grace,

her steel sword conjuring countless rainbow rays as she lightning-fast attacked Nangong Taiji.

I smiled as I watched the result. The old tortoise's clothes were torn, and everyone cheered. I saw a very sour face, and I

announced even more happily, "Now that everyone has seen the result, I think the conference can end. The Goddess Palace can become the supreme martial arts master, and from now on,

Narcissus is the leader of the martial arts alliance. If any bastard is dissatisfied, it doesn't matter. I'll take care of him and treat him to a sumptuous feast of muskets."

I swept my wicked gaze across the audience, and no one dared to object to my decision.

If there were no Heaven, angels would no longer sing; if there were no Hell, demons would wander; if there were no Earth, the world would perish;

if there were no you, my dreams would be lost. Even if Heaven is beautiful, angels will slumber; even if Hell is magnificent, demons will still wander; even if

the Earth doesn't disappear, the world will continue its march towards destruction…
