Volume 11 Chapter 1: Stunning

Xiao Niu invited Yueying home, his joy surpassing even becoming incredibly wealthy overnight. Walking with Yueying on the way, he felt himself suddenly exuding an ethereal aura, his usual vulgarity vanishing completely.

He daydreamed, how wonderful it would be if there were only the two of them in the world? That would save him so much trouble and worry, and no one would compete with him for the title of his dream girl.

Because Yueying was wearing a hat on the way, it didn't cause any trouble. Otherwise, the streets would be packed, and he wouldn't be able to escape the "encirclement" for a while.

When Xiao Niu brought Yueying home, Yueying took off her hat, and her family was astonished. Xiaoxiu, who had run out of the shop, exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Yueying, her eyes widening. She circled Yueying three times before touching Xiao Niu's arm and softly asking, "Brother, where did you find such a fairy-like person?"

Xiao Niu smiled proudly and said, "Let me introduce you." He looked at Yueying and added, "This is my senior sister, Tan Yueying. She's very capable; you'll see later."

Xiao Niu then put his arm around Xiaoxiu's shoulder and said to Yueying, "This is my younger sister, Xiaoxiu. She's very intelligent and knowledgeable; she's a female scholar in our family." Xiaoxiu was overjoyed to hear this. Xiaoxiu, without any hesitation, took Yueying's hand and said with boundless admiration, "Sister, you're so beautiful! I thought you were a fairy descended from heaven."

Yueying smiled at Xiaoxiu, patted her hair, and said, "Little sister Xiaoxiu, you're so good with words, and you're beautiful too, much better than your brother." She then glanced at Xiaoniu's face.

Xiaoxiu, hearing this, winked proudly at Xiaoniu. Xiaoniu didn't mind and laughed heartily, "Everyone in my family is smart and beautiful, including me."

His words made both girls laugh. The difference was that Xiaoxiu's laughter was bright and clear, while Yueying's was subtle and gentle. Like two suddenly blooming flowers, one like an orchid, the other like a peony, their radiant beauty made Xiaoniu's eyes light up.

He thought to himself, "Good, beautiful! They're all mine. One day, I, Xiaoniu, will definitely be their master." Their conversation attracted the attention of many servants. At the servant's announcement, Tianniu and Xiaoniu's parents came out.

Tianniu glanced at Yueying a few more times, then lowered her head shyly. When Xiaoniu introduced Tianniu to Yueying, Yueying looked her over carefully and said to Xiaoniu, "Xiaoniu, you've become a land of beauties! So many beauties!"

Tianniu felt pleased to hear this. Xiaoniu replied, "Didn't I tell you? There are no ugly girls in my family." Xiaoxiu chimed in, "Brother, Tianniu hasn't married you yet, don't be so shameless!" Tianniu blushed. Although she had been in the city for some time, she was different from the city girls.

Xiaoniu's parents were overjoyed to see Yueying. Yueying also stepped forward to greet Xiaoniu's parents. Wei Zhongbao beamed, seemingly having forgotten the humiliation of being beaten. The stepmother looked her over and exclaimed sincerely, "I never imagined there could be such a beauty in the world! She's like a painting by a master. Hmm, our Xiaoxiu was quite pretty, but compared to her, she's like an ugly duckling."

Hearing her mother's words, Xiaoxiu pouted and hugged her mother's arm, saying, "Mom, don't touch me in front of others! Although I can't compare to this older sister, I'm much prettier than many girls in Hangzhou." Everyone laughed.

That evening, the Wei family held a grand banquet to welcome Yueying back. The Wei family's hospitality touched Yueying deeply. She had never experienced family affection before. She had grown up in the arms of her master and mistress; although they cared for her, they weren't her biological parents. Seeing the atmosphere in Xiaoniu's family, she was extremely envious. Therefore, she, who was usually serious, smiled a lot that evening and had a good appetite. Xiaoniu

, watching from the side, was so happy he could hardly open his eyes. He seemed to see this as an engagement banquet, as if from this moment on, Yueying would be his. Xiao Niu thought to himself, "If only she could eat at my house every day like tonight, then I could be with her every day. My master's wife really cares about me and has sent Yueying to keep me company.

Alas, I can hardly repay her kindness!"

After dinner, Xiao Niu's parents arranged a comfortable room for Yueying in the back wing, in the same courtyard as them. Originally, Xiao Xiu wanted Yueying to share a room with him and Tian Niu, but Xiao Niu stopped her. He thought that Yueying needed to practice her skills regularly every day, and it might be inconvenient if she stayed in Xiao Xiu's room.

Xiao Niu personally led Yueying to the guest room. He was already exhausted... The room was spotless; even the bedding was brand new, and the tables and chairs were immaculate.

When only the two of them were in the room, Yueying's smile faded considerably. Xiao Niu thought to himself, "What's wrong? Aren't you happy with me? Am I really that annoying?!"

Yueying sat in a chair, looking around the room, and said, "Xiao Niu, your family is wealthy. You could easily stay home and enjoy life as a young master. Why bother going out to practice martial arts?"

Xiao Niu stood opposite Yueying, forcing a smile, and said, "Of course I could be a young master. With my family's wealth, even if I did nothing, my family's assets would be enough for me to live a carefree life." "Yes. But I don't want to do that. What's the difference between living like that and being a pig? I think a person should have some lofty ambition in this life, right? I don't want to live this life in vain; I have to accomplish something. Even if I can't be a leader, I have to be a hero. Even if I can't be a hero, I have to try my best. Success or failure isn't important; as long as I've tried, I won't have any regrets."

Yueying was moved by this and nodded, looking at the calf and saying, "Hmm, it's rare to hear you say that. It seems I underestimated you before. I thought you were a lecherous man who only knew how to take advantage of women and had no ambition." "Well," Xiao Niu smiled, puffing out his chest. "You didn't know me well enough back then. We'll get to know each other better in the future."

Yueying blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Get to know each other better? I'm afraid that won't be easy."

Xiao Niu's expression changed, and he asked, "Why?" He thought to himself, "Does Senior Sister want to separate from me? Wherever she goes, I'll go. I won't leave her."

Yueying pursed her lips and said, "After I get married to Zixiong, I won't be able to be with you as often as I am now. We'll have to avoid suspicion, so people won't gossip. Am I right?" Hearing this, Xiao Niu felt a sharp pain in his heart, an immense sorrow. He guessed that even if his father kicked the bucket one day, he wouldn't be this heartbroken. He tried to suppress his grief, but his legs still trembled uncontrollably, as if they were cold. To hide his embarrassment, he quickly found a place to sit down. Even so, he didn't sit on the bed where Yueying was going to sleep, but instead pulled up a chair and sat opposite Yueying. He didn't dare to sit too close; the distance was neither too far nor too close. Despite his grief, Xiao Niu managed a weak smile and said, "As long as Senior Sister doesn't leave Laoshan, I can see her every day."

Yueying nodded and then said, "Xiao Niu, let's interrogate that criminal now. After that, we'll arrest him tomorrow, and then we'll go back. Your master's wife is waiting for you."

Xiao Niu waved his hand and said, "No rush, no rush. It's Senior Sister's first time visiting my home, she should stay a few more days. Besides, you just arrived, you must be tired from your journey, you should rest before you start working."

Yueying thought to herself that she had been a bit too hasty. Xiao Niu rarely got to go home, his parents were just a few miles away, and there was a beautiful woman beside him, how could he bear to leave so soon?

Yueying said, "Then tomorrow is fine too. Now tell me in detail what happened when your father was beaten, and what happened during your interrogation, so I can analyze it."

Xiao Niu thought to himself, "Senior Sister is really in a hurry; it seems she wants to go back quickly. But I, Xiao Niu, am reluctant to leave! It's so precious to be able to spend some time alone with Senior Sister. I must find a way to make her stay a few more days."

Xiao Niu didn't mince words and recounted the events in detail. As he spoke, he gazed at Yueying's face. In the red candlelight, Yueying possessed a different kind of beauty—a delicate, hazy, and captivating beauty. Xiao Niu's heart was in turmoil. He thought, "Oh, if only she were my wife. I wouldn't leave tonight, I'd go into bed with her and enjoy her body to the fullest. I'd let my thing stay with her treasure all night long. Ugh, damn it, such a good woman has to marry that bastard, it's just not right. As long as I, Xiao Niu, have a breath left, I won't let that bastard do it. I've already told Senior Sister about Meng Zixiong's shameful deeds, will she still marry him?" Thinking this, Xiao Niu felt much better.

Yueying fell into deep thought after hearing this. When she was thinking, her expression was particularly focused, as if she had entered an infinitely vast world. Xiao Niu sat opposite her, looking at her face. Although he didn't dare to say much, it was still a kind of enjoyment. He felt that being in the same room with her, breathing the same air, was an immense blessing. He wished that this blessing could last forever.

Seeing that Yueying didn't speak for a long time, Xiao Niu stood up and said, "Senior Sister, you should rest first, I won't disturb you." Yueying hummed in agreement and then fell silent again.

Xiao Niu went out and gently closed the door behind him. Looking at the door that separated them, he thought, "If only I knew how to walk through walls and become invisible, I could sneak in and keep my senior sister company. If she sits, I'll sit with her. If she eats, I'll eat with her. If she sleeps, I can sleep with her!" The thought of sleeping with her brought a lewd grin to Xiao Niu's face.

He went to his room. Opening the door, he saw Xiao Xiu sitting on her bed, a mocking smile on her face. He wondered, what was this girl doing here?

As soon as Xiao Niu entered the room, Xiao Xiu jumped off the bed and approached him, asking, "Brother Xiao Niu, why did it take you so long to come out? Did you succeed?"

Xiao Niu smiled and said, "Have I been here long enough? What do you mean by 'success'?"

Xiao Xiu squinted and said, "Brother, tell me, who is she to you?"

Xiao Niu sat down in a chair and said, "Didn't I tell you? She's my senior sister. She's very skilled in martial arts."

Xiao Xiu moved closer to Xiao Niu and said, "Of course I know she's your senior sister. I mean, besides being your senior sister, could she also be the one you love?"

Xiao Niu waved his hand and said, "Don't guess. She already has a fiancé and is getting married soon." At this point, Xiao Niu's mood became gloomy, as if he had been beaten half to death.

Xiaoxiu noticed and smiled hesitantly, "I can tell you really like her. It's okay that she has a fiancé. As long as you're skilled enough, you might still have a chance."

Xiaoniu sighed, "Her sweetheart is handsome, more skilled than me, and the son of my master on the mountain. He has such a huge advantage, what hope do I have?"

Xiaoxiu nodded and said, "That's true. But a beauty like your senior sister would make anyone's heart flutter." Saying this, she pouted, as if to tell Xiaoniu that even she was a little smitten. Little Ox took a deep breath and asked, "Little Sleeve, why aren't you in your room? What are you doing here?" Little Sleeve blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Can't I stay here if I don't have something to do?"

Little Ox smiled and said, "Little Sleeve, I bet you have something to do here, otherwise you wouldn't be here at this time." Little Sleeve ran to sit opposite Little Ox, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Brother, guess what I have to do?"

Little Ox said without thinking, "I can't guess."

Little Sleeve scolded, "Can't you use your brain?"

Little Ox had no interest in playing riddles with her; all his attention was on Moon Shadow. He pretended to be deep in thought and remained silent for a while, but still shook his head at Little Sleeve.

Little Sleeve sighed in disappointment and said, "Why are you so stupid today? You've suddenly become a pig brain. Since you can't guess, I'll tell you. I've thought of another word."

Little Ox yawned and asked casually, "What word?" He couldn't muster any enthusiasm when it came to this kind of thing. Xiaoxiu was a little unhappy and said stiffly, "What else could it be? It's just the character with the 'mountain' radical that you asked me to guess. I guessed another one."

Xiaoniu wasn't very interested and said, "That's not surprising. You've guessed quite a few, but unfortunately, none of them were right." Xiaoxiu said confidently, "I think I'll guess right this time."

Xiaoniu exclaimed "Eh!" and immediately stood up, came to Xiaoxiu's side, and asked anxiously, "Tell me, which character is it?" This was something Xiaoniu was always concerned about.

Xiaoxiu smiled without answering, looking at Xiaoniu's anxious face, she felt very happy.

Xiaoniu had no choice but to change his attitude. He said softly, "Xiaoxiu, stop being so mysterious, just tell me already. Are you trying to drive me crazy?"

Xiaoxiu cleared her throat and said, "I can tell you, but what's in it for me?" Xiaoniu said without hesitation, "That's easy, I'll find you a good man to marry, and I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury."

Xiaoxiu waved her hand and said, "Forget it, you don't need to worry about that."

Xiaoniu pressed, "Then what do you want? Just tell me."

Xiaoxiu thought for a moment and said, "I don't ask for much, just buy me a pretty dress ." "Clothes, and then go to the bookstore and buy me a good set of books."

Xiao Niu chuckled and said, "That's no problem, but if you're wrong, I won't buy you anything." Xiao Xiu firmly said, "Since I dare to ask you for something, of course I'm sure I can do it."

Xiao Niu said impatiently, "Then hurry up and tell me."

Xiao Xiu cleared her throat and said, "I'm a little thirsty, go get me a glass of water." Xiao Niu felt really annoyed when he heard this, thinking, "This little girl is putting on airs with me. If you're wrong, I'll definitely get the noodles back."

Xiao Niu patiently poured the water and handed it to her. Xiaoxiu took a few sips of water and said, "It feels so good. This is the first time I've ever tasted our water so well, it's like it has sugar in it."

Xiaoniu leaned closer to her and said, "Xiaoxiu, I've already promised to buy the things, and everyone's been served. You should tell me by now, right?" Xiaoxiu took two more sips and said, "Don't rush me. I've forgotten that word while drinking this water. Let me have a few more sips, I'm sure I'll remember it."

Xiaoniu was so angry he was almost distorted, but he still had to wait for her. Xiaoniu moved a chair in front of Xiaoxiu, and the two sat close together. Xiaoxiu wasn't like Yueying; she was his younger sister, and Xiaoniu didn't have so many concerns when he was with her.

After taking a few more sips, Xiaoxiu put down the cup, took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and stared blankly at the ceiling for a while. Xiaoniu stared at her intently, without saying a word, waiting for her to reveal her earth-shattering secret. He thought to himself:

"Once I find the Demon Blade, get my hands on it, go to the Western Regions to find Niu Lihua, and learn her special sword technique, I'll be invincible. Who can withstand my attacks then? Won't Yueying look at me with new respect and fall head over heels for me? If she misses her chance, someone else will snatch me away. She sees me as a worthless ox, but others see me as a golden ox." Xiao Niu's imagination ran wild, and he envisioned himself dominating the world, enjoying unparalleled glory. "Then every beauty in the martial world will be vying to marry me." He stared at Xiao Xiu like she was a treasure, thinking, "If Xiao Xiu can unlock the secret, my life will be forever changed." "It's changed."

Xiao Xiu finally spoke: "Brother, this character is very ordinary. You should be able to guess that it has a close relationship with you."

Xiao Niu said "Oh," and then asked, "Then tell me quickly, what character is it?"

Xiao Xiu smiled and said slowly, "Which mountain are you learning your skills on now?"

Xiao Niu casually replied, "Of course, it's Laoshan."

Xiao Xiu chuckled and said, "That's right, that's my answer."

Xiao Niu exclaimed, slapped his forehead, jumped up, and cheered, "Yes, yes, that's it! I should have thought of it sooner. How could I be so stupid?"

Then, Xiao Niu quickly opened the window to look out, and went outside to check if anyone was eavesdropping outside his room. This was terrible! If someone heard him, all his hard work would be wasted, and he might even be killed to silence him.

Only after confirming there hadn't been any leaks did Xiao Niu return to the house. After closing the door, he said to Xiao Xiu, "Little sister, thank you so much this time. I won't treat you badly; I'll buy you lots of books and clothes. But you have to agree to one condition."

Xiao Xiu looked at Xiao Niu, puzzled, unable to understand why he was acting like a thief. She asked, "What condition?"

Xiao Niu said, word by word, "You can't tell anyone about the result of the word guessing game, not even Mom, Dad, or Tian Niu."

Xiao Xiu blinked, asking, "Why?"

Xiao Niu cautioned, "Oh, little sister, you don't know this concerns many lives. If you tell anyone, our whole family might die."

Xiao Xiu's beautiful eyes widened in shock. "Is it that serious? What secret is it?" Xiao Niu forced a smile and said, "Little sister, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that even if I tell you..." "You wouldn't understand anyway. These are all matters of the martial world; knowing them won't do you any good. Just know that you can't tell anyone else about this."

Xiao Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I promise you. But you have to keep your promise." Xiao Niu patted his chest and answered decisively, "That's no problem."

Xiao Xiu stood up and said, "I've finished my business, and I should go back to my room." Xiao Niu said again, "Don't forget what I said." Xiao Xiu said, "I won't forget; you've said it so many times my ears are calloused." With that, Xiao Xiu walked towards the door.

As the door opened, Xiaoxiu turned around and asked, "Brother, there's something else I want to ask you."

Xiaoniu walked to the door and said, "Just tell me what it is."

Xiaoxiu's gaze lingered on Xiaoniu's face as she said, "Brother, if you've taken a liking to your senior sister, what about Sister Tianniu?"

Xiaoniu shook his head and said, "I don't have much hope with my senior sister." He was speaking from the heart. Although he had longed for her for a long time, he didn't have any clever way to get her, unless he raped her. But even then, he wasn't confident he could succeed.

Xiaoxiu emphasized, "What I mean is, if you end up marrying your senior sister, what will happen to Tianniu? You won't abandon her so heartlessly, will you? She's such a lovely and sensible girl." Xiaoniu said, "Even if I manage to marry my senior sister one day, I won't abandon Tianniu. Wherever I go, she'll always be in my heart."

Xiaoxiu chuckled and said, "I understand, you want her to be your concubine, right?" Xiaoniu smiled and said, "That's about right. But if no one else marries me, she'll be my first wife." In his heart, he thought, "No matter how you look at it, Tianniu can never be my first wife. Even if there's no Yueying, there's Yuelin, and then there's Niu Lihua, Guiling, the princess... Oh, the princess doesn't count, we weren't engaged. In short, my wife can't be just Tianniu."

Xiaoxiu snorted and muttered, "Men are all the same." Then, Xiaoxiu hurriedly left. Xiaoniu closed the door and jumped around the room like a leaping monkey.

He finally learned the whereabouts of the Demon Blade, and Xiao Niu was overjoyed, unable to sleep until midnight. Despite this, he was still in high spirits the next day.

After breakfast, Xiao Niu discussed the interrogation with Yueying. Yueying looked at Xiao Niu earnestly and said, "I will definitely help you catch the other villain, and you must keep your promise to me."

Xiao Niu said, "Don't worry about that, I will definitely do what I promised."

Yueying nodded and said, "If you side with me, I won't forgive you."

Xiao Niu smiled and said, "Of course. By the way, have you thought about catching the thief? Do you have any good ideas?"

Yueying said confidently, "We'll have a solution soon. The most important thing now is to interrogate the thief we've already caught and see what he has to say. If we handle the interrogation well today, we won't have to worry about catching the other one." Xiao Niu agreed. Afterwards, Xiao Niu and the people of Xialingou brought the skinny monkey Lü Feng to his house and let Yueying act as the judge to interrogate him.

Yueying shook her head and said, "No need for me to ask. You can do the interrogation yourself. I'll just listen in."

Yueying's answer left Xiao Niu bewildered. He didn't ask any more questions and did as Yueying said. During the interrogation, Xiao Niu's parents, Xiao Xiu, and Tian Niu all came over, wanting to see what clever method Yueying had to get Lü Feng to talk so they could catch the other criminal. Once

everyone was seated, the servants brought Lü Feng forward. Lü Feng was thoroughly beaten by the servants, his face bruised and swollen, looking completely unrecognizable. Wei Zhongbao, having already seen the guy, roared angrily, "You son of a bitch! If it weren't for the government's concern, I would have killed you already!"

Xiao Niu quickly advised, "Dad, stop talking nonsense for now. Let's see how I interrogate this guy."

Lü Feng was thrown to the ground and immediately sat down, not showing any sign of getting up. Xiao Niu was too lazy to argue with him and proceeded with the interrogation according to his pre-set procedure. Lu Feng's answer was no different from the previous one. He confessed his actions and revealed who was behind it all, but refused to disclose the whereabouts of his other accomplice. Xiao Niu said in a tempting tone, "If you tell me where your accomplice is, I might be lenient with you." But Lu Feng replied, "Even if you kill me, I won't betray my brothers. If I betray my brothers, how can I face the world again? They'll chop me up and feed me to the dogs."

Xiao Niu stared wide-eyed and asked, "So you don't want to talk?"

Lu Feng firmly replied, "I'd rather die than tell."

Xiao Niu looked at Yue Ying, who remained unresponsive. He then looked at his father, who was glaring at Lu Feng with rage, clearly seeking revenge.

Xiao Niu thought for a moment and asked Wei Zhongbao, "Dad, what should we do about this?"

Wei Zhongbao glanced at Yue Ying and said, "You should ask your senior sister."

Xiao Niu turned his gaze back to Yue Ying. Yueying frowned and said, "I think the interrogation can stop here."

Seeing her say this, Xiao Niu said nothing more, waved to the servants, and said, "Take him away, and keep a close eye on him. Don't let him escape." The servants agreed and took Lü Feng away.

Afterwards, everyone looked at Yueying, wondering what she had to do. Yueying stood up and said softly, "I need to think about it. Everyone can go about their business now."

Everyone looked at each other, their faces showing disappointment, but no one said anything, and they dispersed. They all underestimated Yueying's abilities.

Everyone left, but Xiao Niu didn't. This was her room; he couldn't go anywhere else. Xiao Niu came up to Yueying and asked, "Senior Sister, is this matter giving you a headache? If so, I won't make things difficult for you."

Yueying smiled disdainfully and said, "If I can't even handle such a small matter, how can I be a disciple of Laoshan?" Xiao Niu's eyes lit up. He immediately asked, "So, Senior Sister has already thought of a way to catch the thief?" Yueying hummed in agreement and said, "I have a lead, but I don't know if it will work. If it doesn't, we'll think of another way." Xiao Niu

flattered, "Senior Sister's method must be a brilliant plan." Yueying

waved her hand and said, "Don't be so quick to praise me. If we can't catch the thief, your family will probably look down on me."

Xiao Niu shook his head and said, "How could that be? My family is very understanding."

Yueying pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's do it the first way I mentioned. Remember, when everyone is here, you must make it seem like it's real."

Xiao Niu quickly asked, "What is this method you mentioned?" Yueying instructed, "Come closer."

Xiao Niu then leaned his ear close to Yueying. Yueying whispered a few words. Xiao Niu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, saying, "This method, though simple, is probably the most effective."

Yueying said, "We'll have to try it to see if it works. There's no time to lose, you should go and do your work now."

Xiao Niu agreed, saying, "Wait here for me, I'll be back in a bit." With that

, he dashed out. Yueying stayed in Xiao Niu's room for a while before returning to her own. She wouldn't linger in Xiao Niu's room without a reason. She didn't want to become the subject of gossip.

After returning to her room, she didn't think much about catching the thief. Catching a thief was a trivial matter to her, not worth spending much time on. Instead, something else was troubling Yueying: Meng Zixiong's disgraceful act, as Xiao Niu had mentioned.

She thought, "Meng Zixiong did such a disgraceful thing, should I forgive him? Should I still be determined to marry him like before? I, Tan Yueying, look for a man who will be devoted to me." Not long after, Xiao Niu came running excitedly. After he knocked and entered, he said, "Senior Sister, I've made arrangements." Yueying nodded and said, "I hope this trick works. If this Lü Feng isn't exceptionally clever, I think he'll definitely fall for it."

Xiao Niu chimed in, "No matter how clever he is, he can't possibly be as clever as you, Senior Sister."

Yueying smiled and said, "I'm not that clever, otherwise, how could I have been fooled?"

Xiao Niu comforted her, "No one is a saint; everyone makes mistakes and acts foolishly."

Yueying's smile faded, and she said, "Xiao Niu, about Meng Zixiong..."

Yueying smiled meaningfully and said, "Senior Sister, don't overthink it now! It will only make you more troubled. I think you should save your breath."

Yueying snorted and didn't ask any more questions. Xiao Niu tried to coax her into talking, but Yueying only gave half-hearted replies, which made Xiao Niu very disappointed and bored. He wisely left the room, leaving her alone. After leaving, Xiao Niu still felt a pang of sadness. Because he knew why Yueying was so preoccupied.

It wasn't about Xiaoniu, nor about catching the thief, but about her fiancé, Meng Zixiong. Meng Zixiong had done such a terrible thing; would she really break off all ties with him like that? If she would, that would be wonderful. Wasn't what Xiaoniu had been hoping for every day to see them completely separated?

That very night, Xiaoniu carried out Yueying's orders, intending to follow them himself, but he fell asleep. An hour or so later, a servant ran in to report that he had seen the skinny man and the fat man meet up.

When Xiao Niu woke up, he was overjoyed to hear this and hurriedly asked, "What happened? Tell me quickly!"

The servant said, "As you instructed, young master, we pretended to be drunk and let him escape. As soon as he left, we followed him. He first ran to an inn, where he met that fat man. Then, the fat man couldn't even stay at the inn and hurriedly led the skinny monkey out of the city."

Xiao Niu asked again, "That's quite cunning. And then?"

The servant replied, "Nothing more. They jumped off the city wall. We don't know any light-footed skills, so we couldn't follow them."

Xiao Niu sighed and said, "Really. How could I be so foolish? Why didn't I follow them myself? Letting them get away is really unfair to my senior sister. She'll definitely blame me if she finds out." With that, he turned to leave, intending to personally capture the two escapees.

Just then, the door opened, and Yueying appeared outside, saying, "You don't need to go out."

Xiao Niu asked, "Why?"

Yueying smiled faintly and said, "I thought I had already caught them." As she spoke, Yueying's delicate body darted to the side, revealing two people lying on the ground, both bound with ropes. Both of them had their heads down, as if they were embarrassed to be seen.

Xiao Niu approached them, and by the light of the room, grinned at the skinny man, saying, "Don't you think you could have escaped if we hadn't deliberately let you go?"

Lü Feng sighed, "I was so stupid! I really thought you were being too lax."

His companion, the dark-faced fat man, said, "I already guessed it was your trick, so I led him to run, but who knew this girl would still catch us."

Yue Ying snorted and said, "How could someone I wanted to catch escape?"

The fat man stared at Yue Ying and asked in an admiring tone, "Who is this girl? Can you tell me your name?" Yue Ying didn't even snort, walked into Xiao Niu's room, sat down in a chair, and didn't say a word. Xiao Niu spat at the two of them and said, "With your character, you dare to ask my senior sister's name? You're really overestimating yourselves." After saying that, the servants of the Fainting One subdued the two of them and put them under strict guard. Then, Xiao Niu entered the house and sat down at a distance from Yueying, asking, "Senior Sister, you still haven't told me how you caught this fat man."

Yueying replied, "What's there to say? It's nothing."

Xiao Niu pressed, "Please tell me, I really want to hear."

Yueying hummed in agreement and said, "Since you want to hear, I'll tell you. Tonight, your servants released Lü Feng as I instructed and followed him. I was worried your servants wouldn't be able to handle it, so I followed them too."

Xiao Niu said embarrassedly, "I only wanted them to follow, not to catch him. I thought I could make my move once I was sure of their whereabouts. But they lost him."

Yueying continued, "When your servants reached the city gate, they couldn't get out, but the two thieves jumped out, so I followed them. After they got out of the city, I let them know someone was following them, but I didn't let them see me. This scared them so much that they ran faster and faster, until they were too tired to even crawl. Then I went up, tied them up with ropes, one in each hand, and carried them back like two ducks." Yueying spoke casually. Xiao

Niu could imagine the scene. He thought to himself, "These two thieves are just ordinary people, no match for Senior Sister. It's no wonder they were caught. But this shows that Senior Sister is much smarter than me."

Xiao Niu praised, "Senior Sister is really capable and resourceful. I will definitely learn from you and become a smarter person in the future." Yueying, however, didn't understand this and said, "Now that the thieves have been caught, it's time to go back." At this moment, Wei Zhongbao led his wife, daughter, and Tian Niu in. Upon entering the room, they immediately asked how the fat man had been caught.

Xiao Niu patiently recounted the events. Wei Zhongbao nodded repeatedly, giving a thumbs-up and praising, "Miss Tan, you're truly amazing! This method is excellent; it's the 'feigned indifference' tactic from the Thirty-Six Stratagems, isn't it?" Yueying modestly expressed her feelings to her elders. Xiao Xiu stepped forward and took Yueying's hand, saying repeatedly, "Sister Tan, you're truly remarkable! Your skills are so impressive; it's truly enviable. Why don't you become my apprentice? I'd like to learn how you catch and punish bad guys, ridding the people of evil."

Yueying smiled and said, "You can learn from your brother."

Xiao Xiu scoffed, saying, "His skills are only fit for petty thieves and scoundrels; they're hardly worthy of serious consideration." As she spoke, Xiao Xiu laughed, and everyone's faces lit up with smiles, except for Xiao Niu, who wore a bitter expression. After everyone had chattered away for a while, they dispersed. Now, only Xiao Niu and Yueying remained in the room. Yueying asked with a somber expression, "Xiao Niu, is what you said about Meng Zixiong true?" Her usual bright and cheerful demeanor was completely gone; her inner struggle and feelings were palpable.

Xiao Niu saw this with a mixture of worry and joy. He was happy that Yueying, after learning of her fiancé's scandalous affair, was reassessing Meng Zixiong's character, and her impression of him was changing. This was highly advantageous to him. He could use this as a breakthrough to find Yueying's Achilles' heel. "Ideally, Yueying would break up with Meng Zixiong in a fit of anger,"

Xiao Niu thought, a smug grin spreading across his face.

Suddenly, Yueying sighed softly. Xiao Niu noticed her eyes seemed to be misted over. That mist contained melancholy, anger, and helplessness.

Xiao Niu boldly approached Yueying and softly asked, "Senior Sister, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Yueying slowly stood up, turned her face, sighed, and said, "It's nothing, I'm fine." With that, she walked to the window.

Xiao Niu observed carefully and noticed her shoulders trembling slightly, as if she were suppressing her grief. If she hadn't been restraining herself, Yueying would likely have burst into tears. She cried like a pear blossom in the rain, and although she looked beautiful and moving, Xiao Niu didn't want her to cry. No man who loves his woman wants her to cry.

Xiao Niu wanted to step forward to comfort or console her, but he didn't dare. He was afraid of startling or angering her, so he could only stand there, gazing at Yueying, who stood there like a lonely lotus flower.

Xiao Niu then thought, "Since I've already said what I needed to say, and I can't help anyway, I should just leave." But as he was about to take a step, he realized this was his room; if he left, where would he go?

At this moment, Yueying gently turned around and said, "Little Niu, wait a minute, I still have something to ask you."

Little Niu said "Oh," and then said, "Just tell me directly, I'll tell you what I know."

Little Niu saw that Yueying was dressed in white, like a fairy, and her hair was as black as night, but her alluring eyes were a little moist, obviously because of Meng Zixiong's affair.

Yueying trembled her red lips and asked, "You said you saw it with your own eyes?"

Little Niu answered confidently, "Of course I saw it with my own eyes."

Yueying asked again, "You didn't see wrong, did you?" He really hoped that Little Niu had mistaken her for someone else. No one wants their beloved to do such a bad thing, and Yueying also had feelings for Meng Zixiong.

Xiao Niu said again, "Impossible, my eyesight is perfect. Don't I know Meng Zixiong well? I know his height, his voice, his expression."

Yueying muttered to herself, "If only this were fake."

Xiao Niu said, "If it's fake, then it's like I'm making up a story."

Yueying suddenly narrowed her eyes and raised her voice, asking, "Wei Xiao Niu, you're not deliberately lying to me for some ulterior motive, are you?!"

Under Yueying's sharp gaze, Xiao Niu didn't panic, but calmly said, "If you don't believe me, you can investigate yourself. If I had known you wouldn't trust me like this, I wouldn't have told you. I'm just being kind and getting my heart ripped off." As she said this, Xiao Niu looked helpless and bitter. Yueying took a few deep breaths and said, "Whether it's true or not, I'll check when I get back. It's getting late, I'm going to rest."

Xiao Niu agreed and watched Yueying walk out the door. At the doorway, Xiao Niu watched Yueying's white figure slowly shrink, thinking to himself, "My Yueying sister is truly a natural beauty. Her expressions and gestures are beautiful, even her movements are so graceful. A beauty like her might only appear once every few centuries!" That night, Xiao Niu lay in bed with mixed feelings. He didn't feel much joy at revealing Meng Zixiong's participation in the European-style event; instead, he felt uneasy because it had affected Yueying's mood. He couldn't say whether what he did was right or wrong. If Yueying didn't believe him and insisted that he had framed Meng Zixiong, that would be terrible. Not only had he failed to achieve his goal, but he had also backfired. That would truly be shooting himself in the foot.

The next day, at dinner, Yueying's expression returned to calm, as if she had forgotten everything from the previous day. At the dinner table, the happiest person was Xiao Niu's father.

He said excitedly, "This time I won't hold back. I'll definitely settle accounts with King Mei."

Xiao Niu's stepmother asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Wei Zhongbao said, "Is that even a question? Of course, we'll send those two petty thieves from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the authorities, file a complaint, and then send King Mei to jail!"

Xiao Xiu nodded and said, "Good, good, that's called 'evil gets its just deserts.' That old man should have been in jail long ago." Xiao Niu looked at Tian Niu and said, "What do you think we should do?" Sweetie

glanced at Little Cow, then avoided his gaze and whispered, "Since he's a bad guy, we can't let him go." Little Cow smiled and said, "That's what I think too." Then he looked at Moon Shadow and asked, "Senior Sister, what do you think?"

Moon Shadow said calmly, "Let Uncle decide."

Stepmother sighed, "Sending him to prison is good, but that guy has connections in the government, so he probably won't get into any trouble. From now on, we'll be neighbors, seeing each other all the time, and it might be difficult to get along." Little Cow commented, "Mom's heart is so kind."

After dinner, Moon Shadow called Little Cow aside and asked sternly, "Little Cow, when do you plan to leave?" Little Cow replied, "I want to stay a few more days before leaving."

Moon Shadow pondered for a moment and said, "You stay at home, and go back to the mountain by yourself in a few days."

Little Cow asked, "What about you?" Little Cow's heart panicked; he couldn't believe Moon Shadow wanted to separate from him. Without even glancing at him, Yueying said, "I have some personal business to attend to."

Xiao Niu immediately said, "Senior Sister, why don't I come with you? You can do the odd jobs, and I can help you with the tasks." Yueying waved her hand and said, "You can't help with this. I'll catch up with you when you return to the mountain."

Xiao Niu was in a bad mood because she wouldn't let him come. Yueying added, "I'm leaving now. Luckily, I don't have much to pack."

Xiao Niu sighed twice, unsure of what to say. He guessed that she might have gone to investigate Meng Zixiong's scandalous affairs. She needed to find out if what Xiao Niu said was true.

Yueying looked at Xiao Niu and said, "Xiao Niu, hurry back to the mountain. Your master's wife is waiting."

Xiao Niu said with a bitter face, "I will, Senior Sister. You should take good care of yourself too."

Yueying nodded and walked towards the gate. After leaving the gate, Yueying said to Xiao Niu, "I won't say goodbye to your family. Please say goodbye for them, okay?"

Xiao Niu felt a pang of sadness and could only nod repeatedly. After taking a few steps, Yueying turned back and said, "Little Niu, don't look so reluctant to part, like a woman. I like men." With that, she quickened her pace and hurried away. Little Niu stood reluctantly at the door, watching his figure slowly disappear into the distance. From behind, his figure looked as beautiful as a trembling flower. Even though he was far away, the image of his chess pieces lingered in Little Niu's nostrils, an image he couldn't shake.

When her figure disappeared around the corner, Little Niu felt another impulse, a frantic urge to chase after her and beg her to take him with her. But he knew she wouldn't agree. He wouldn't be happy to be involved in her private affairs. Besides, how could a man be so subservient? Doing so would only make her despise him more.

Hadn't she just said that he should act like a man, not a woman? Little Niu would listen to her, to be a man, to show his masculinity.

Little Niu turned back, utterly dejected, his mind blank, as if he had been abandoned. He bumped into Xiao Xiu and Tian Niu. Upon seeing Little Niu, Xiao Xiu immediately called out, "Brother! I was just looking for you! I was so afraid you wouldn't keep your promise."

Little Niu blinked his lifeless eyes and asked, "What promise?"

Xiao Xiu sighed, reminding him, "How could you forget so quickly? It's about the bet. You lost, so you have to keep your promise." She glanced at Little Niu, then at Tian Niu.

Tian Niu also laughed, "Brother Little Niu, if it's true, you have to keep your word, otherwise, I won't be able to sleep well!" Little Niu then remembered the bet, and then, thinking of the Demon Blade, he immediately perked up, his wandering soul returning to its place.

He immediately calmed down and said, "Alright, alright, let's buy it. When are we going?"

Xiaoxiu pouted and said, "There's no time like the present, let's go now."

Seeing her so eager, Xiaoniu said, "Okay, let's go then." With that, Xiaoniu walked towards the backyard. Xiaoxiu called out, "Hey, where are you going? Trying to sneak away? You can't."

Xiaoniu laughed from behind, "I say, Miss Wei, if we don't pay for what we buy, will they let us take it?" Xiaoxiu said with a grin, "That's more like it. But you're not allowed to sneak away." As she spoke, she instructed Tianniu, "Sister Tian, wait for me here for a moment."

Tianniu asked, "Xiaoxiu, what are you going to do again?"

Xiaoxiu replied, "I'm naturally going with him to get the money. If I don't go with him, he won't have enough money, and then I won't be able to buy anything. Besides, I'm afraid he'll run away from somewhere else." With that, she glanced sideways at Xiaoniu. Xiao Niu could only smile wryly as he walked back into his house. Xiao Xiu followed, worried that something might happen and he wouldn't be able to buy anything. Soon, Xiao Niu got the money and came out with Xiao Xiu. After meeting up with Tian Niu, the three of them went shopping together. The two women were as happy as birds released from their cages. Xiao Xiu, in particular, was jumping and skipping, overjoyed that someone had given her money to spend.

But Xiao Niu wasn't so happy. He kept thinking about the Demon Blade, then about Yue Ying, or other beloved beauties; his mind was a bit chaotic.

Chapter 2 of Episode 11: An

Appointment Shopping with women is the most annoying thing. They buy things differently from men. Men tend to wolf down their purchases, while women tend to savor them slowly. Men can't stand going out with women without patience. Right now, Xiao Niu was experiencing this firsthand. He followed the two beauties like a servant, into the fabric shop and then to the bookstore. No matter where they went, they didn't want to leave. Xiao Niu couldn't bear it, but could only wistfully hope that this merciless torment would end soon.

Just as she was feeling utterly bored, Xiao Niu unexpectedly bumped into an acquaintance. They had met by chance while strolling down the street. At the time, they had walked towards each other.

The woman had a seductive figure, wore a brightly colored dress, and with her careful grooming, she appeared even more beautiful and charming. She exuded a mature allure that could steal a man's soul. Her charm was different from Yue Ying's. Yue Ying was the kind of woman who would make a man's heart flutter, while Xiao Niu was the kind who would arouse a man's interest. This young woman was none other than Xiao Niu's close confidante, the seventh concubine, Chun Yuan. When Xiao Niu saw her, he immediately pretended not to see her and looked away. Chun Yuan had sharp eyes and spotted him immediately. Her previously calm face instantly broke into a radiant smile, like the surface of a frozen lake suddenly thawing.

She first winked at Xiao Niu twice, but when he ignored her, Chun Yuan got angry and almost went to confront him, but she wasn't stupid. After they passed each other, she sent a maid to follow Xiao Niu. When Xiao Xiu and Tian Niu lingered at a stall, the maid went up and asked Xiao Niu to leave, whispering a few words to him. The maid whispered to Xiao Niu, "I am the Seventh Concubine's maid. She told me to inform the young master that he must have a reunion the night after tomorrow, or he will face the consequences." After saying that, the maid left without waiting for Xiao Niu's reaction.

Xiao Niu was a little angry, thinking, "Is she threatening me? These women nowadays are really something else, so bold, daring to let some wild man sleep in her bed at night. They're really bold, even more heroic than me, Xiao Niu." But could he not go? Not going wouldn't be good either.

The three of them didn't return until the entire afternoon. Xiao Niu carried and lifted many things like a servant. Sweetie felt sorry for Little Cow and helped him with some things; otherwise, Little Cow would have been in even worse shape. Little Cow thought to himself, "Sweetie is so good; she cares about me, just like Yuelin."

This shopping trip wasn't a waste; Little Sleeve had a great haul. She bought not only a painting and books, but also hair oil, a comb, a mirror, and other things. She was so focused on herself that she forgot about others, but Little Cow hadn't forgotten. At his suggestion, Little Scholar bought some things for Sweetie.

Back home, Little Sleeve was very proud, her pretty face always beaming with a smile. She told her parents, "Little Cow is so kind; he bought me so many things. I wish I had more older brothers."

Little Cow gave a wry smile, thinking, "These aren't things I bought for you; you forced me to buy them. Can I really accept that? But I didn't lose out. Little Sleeve helped me unlock the secret of the magic sword; all this money was well spent."

When discussing how to deal with Mei Yanwang, Wei Zhongbao slammed his fist on the table and roared, "That damn Mei Yanwang, he bullied me and now he's backing down. Does he think I'm stupid? This time I'll show him what I'm capable of!"

Xiao Niu asked, "Dad, have you made up your mind about how to deal with him?" Wei Zhongbao said

bitterly, "Old man, we can't let him get away with this. I'll make sure he rots in jail."

Xiao Niu grinned and asked again, "What if he pleads guilty and pays his dues?"

Wei Zhongbao said, "No amount of money will do. He's dead this time." However, his tone wasn't as resolute as before.

Xiao Niu laughed heartily. He knew his father couldn't shake his businessman's nature and never wanted to mess with anyone. Since his father loved money so much, he'd help him get rich. From whom? Naturally, from Chun Yuan. The thought of sleeping with Mei Yanwang's concubine and spending his money was truly gratifying.

With Yueying gone and Xiao Niu preoccupied with the Demon Blade, he decided to set off in the next couple of days. He was somewhat resentful of Yueying, "My master's wife wanted her to bring me to Laoshan, but she neglected me because of her own affairs. What if I encounter bandits, assassins, or enemies on the road? Wouldn't I, Xiao Niu, be doomed?"

Having decided to leave, Xiao Niu behaved exceptionally well these past two days. He worked like a shop assistant during the day and was very filial at night, no longer arguing with his father or making him angry. This made Wei Zhongbao completely forget Xiao Niu's disgraceful past, and instead felt that this son was worth having, and quite useful. He didn't know that Xiao Niu had already decided to return to Laoshan to continue his studies.

The date for Chunyuan's rendezvous arrived in the blink of an eye. That night, after lying in his room for a while, and waiting until everyone else had fallen asleep, Xiao Niu got ready, like a thief, slipped out the window, climbed onto the roof, and headed towards Mei Yanwang's house.

Just like last time, he first went to check out Chun Yuan's back window. He poked a hole in the paper window and peeked inside, just in time to see Chun Yuan sitting in front of her dressing table, getting ready. Instead of sleeping, she was getting ready, obviously waiting for some wild man to come and have his fun.

In the mirror, Chun Yuan's eyebrows were beautifully arched, her eyes bright, her hair black, and her oval face flushed with a rosy hue, her eyes and brows radiating spring-like allure. She was dressed very thinly and revealingly, wearing only a red bodice and sheer trousers that revealed her plump, white thighs and full buttocks. The barely visible cleft of her buttocks would make anyone's mouth water.

Xiao Niu, watching from outside, got "fired up" and tried to imitate a cat's meow. Because his mouth was dry, his voice wasn't as clear as usual. Chun Yuan, hearing this from inside, stood up smugly, hurriedly opened the window, and muttered, "That damn cat, why is it taking so long? If it were any later, I'd be eating cat meat!" Xiao Niu darted into the room like a bird, and as he passed Chun Yuan, he gave her a squeeze of her ample breasts, saying, "So seductive, trying to kill me."

Chun Yuan giggled and said, "You're just too lecherous, what does that have to do with me?"

Xiao Niu sat down on the bed with an air of nonchalance, as if... Like a master, Chun Yuan smiled charmingly and nestled into his lap, embracing him with her warm, soft body.

Xiao Niu breathed deeply, inhaling her fragrance, and asked, "Chun Yuan, you called me here so soon?" Chun Yuan playfully scolded, "If I hadn't called you, I'm afraid you would never have come again." Xiao Niu narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course not, even if you hadn't called me, I would have come. Because I have to leave in a few days."

Chun Yuan said "Oh," and then asked, "Why are you leaving again all of a sudden?" "

I still need to go out and learn a trade. I don't want to stay at home as a dissolute young master. I want to become a big shot," Xiao Niu said with heroic spirit.

Chun Yuan said unhappily, "What will I do if you leave? I'll miss you every day, I'll miss you so much I'll get sick."

Xiao Niu smiled, touched her cleavage, and said, "There's plenty of time. When I come back next time, if you've already left that old man, I'll let you into my house."

Chun Yuan said with a gloomy face, "I've told that old man several times that I want to leave him, but he won't agree no matter what. He said that I can only leave him if he dies. Otherwise, I can forget about it. Sigh, what should I do? You have to think of a way for me."

Xiao Niu said, "What can I do?! I can't just take you away."

Chun Yuan suggested, "You can elope with me."

Xiao Niu shook his head and said, "That won't do."

Chun Yuan said disappointedly, "Are you scared?"

Xiao Niu chuckled and said, "What am I scared of?" "There's nothing in this world that I, Xiao Niu, am afraid of. I mean, I can't take you with me. I need to learn a skill; what would it mean to take you with me?"

Chun Yuan pinched Xiao Niu's thigh and said, "So, are we finished?"

Xiao Niu comforted her, "There's always a way. By the way, where's the old man? You seemed particularly bold today, daring to meet me with the lamp lit, weren't you afraid of being seen?"

Chun Yuan smiled and said in a coquettish voice, "What's there to be afraid of? Apart from the old man, no one comes here tonight. Besides, the old man went to a brothel tonight and won't be back."

Xiao Niu chuckled and said, "With his physique, going to that kind of place? Aren't you afraid of dying on a whore's belly? But let's enjoy ourselves for a few more days while we can, because there won't be any more time for that later."

Upon hearing this, Chun Yuan asked in surprise, "Xiao Niu, what do you mean by that?" Chun Yuan hooked her arms around Xiao Niu's neck, sat on Xiao Niu's sensitive area, and moved her buttocks from time to time, secretly teasing Xiao Niu's manhood. This method makes both parties feel comfortable and is an effective way to enhance sexual desire.

While enjoying himself, Xiao Niu didn't forget to answer, "Mei Yanwang had someone beat up my dad, and my dad has already investigated everything. Mei Yanwang is definitely going to jail."

Chun Yuan cursed, "The old man deserves it; it would be best if he died in jail. That way, we can be together." Xiao Niu chuckled, "Look how happy you are. The problem is he won't die right now. Think about it, he has connections in the government; can he be easily brought down?"

Chun Yuan reminded him, "If he doesn't fall, when can we be together?"

Xiao Niu replied, "Just wait. When I return from my apprenticeship, I'll take you away. You'll have to endure it for a while longer." Chun Yuan said helplessly, "I'll listen to you. Now, let me serve you. You are my lifeblood." Saying this, Chun Yuan left Xiao Niu's embrace, squatted down, and stared at him with alluring eyes.

A slender, jade-like hand reached towards Xiao Niu's crotch, precisely grasping what she wanted. His member, already aroused by the woman's earlier friction, stood erect in his trousers, throbbing and eager to be released.

As a mature and alluring woman, Chun Yuan knew what she had to do. Xiao Niu, gazing at the naturally seductive Chun Yuan, felt his blood boil. He felt that if he didn't give her a good time, making her experience ecstasy, he would be betraying her true feelings for him.

If she were a flame, then Xiao Niu was willing to be the moth that bravely charged forward. Chun Yuan skillfully manipulated Xiao Niu's member, her eyes filled with seductive allure, igniting his desire and making him unable to do anything he wanted.

"Look at you, how hard you're! You're such a pervert," Chun Yuan said in a sweet, coquettish voice as she played with his member.

Xiao Niu chuckled, stroking Chun Yuan's dark hair, and said timidly, "If you don't take advantage of a pussy, you're sick in the head. Who told you to keep seducing me?"

Chun Yuan simply knelt down and played with his penis with even more fervent passion, the penis so hard it was about to burst through his pants. Chun Yuan said, "I didn't seduce you, you took the bait yourself." As her hands moved, her breasts trembled slightly, like two lively rabbits hiding inside. That deep and distinct cleavage was exactly what drove men crazy!

Coupled with Chun Yuan's pretty face, bare shoulders, and slightly seductive eyes, Xiao Niu really wanted to scream. Xiao Niu's gaze lingered along the cleavage as he suggested, "Come on, Chun Yuan, if you like it, give it a kiss." Chun Yuan gave him a flirtatious wink and said sweetly, "Why should I listen to you? You always bully a weak woman like me." Despite her words, her hands deftly unzipped Xiao Niu's pants, revealing his hard, thick, long, and vigorous penis. Chun Yuan happily pinched the strawberry-like glans, praising, "What a naughty thing! It always makes me feel like I'm dying."

Xiao Niu laughed smugly, "Wasn't that what you asked for? If I hadn't been gentle, you would have been itching to death." Chun Yuan snorted and said, "No, it's because you're too lustful." As she spoke, Chun Yuan used both hands to seduce, grab, push, and shake, having a great time. After a while, a drop of water seeped from the horse's eye, like a tear of excitement, or perhaps a tear of grievance.

Xiao Niu breathed heavily and reminded her, "Chun Yuan, look, it's crying. It misses your mouth; it wants to kiss you."

Chun Yuan laughed a few times and said, "I'll kill it. Let's see if it dares to take advantage of me again." As she spoke, Chun Yuan gripped the rod in one hand, lowered her head, opened her mouth, and licked the horse's eye with her fragrant tongue. That one touch sent a shiver through Xiao Niu, who exclaimed, "Ah! You're so good at licking! My soul is floating!"

Chun Yuan tasted the drop of liquid in her mouth before saying, "It doesn't taste very good."

Xiao Niu encouraged her, "That's just the beginning. You'll feel great soon." As he spoke, Xiao Niu pressed Chun Yuan's head, signaling her to continue.

Chun Yuan no longer refused, sticking out her fragrant tongue and licking with relish, like licking a pastry. She explored every part of his penis—the glans, ridges, foreskin, testicles, folds of flesh—without reservation. Moreover, her touch was perfectly measured, the pressure and pace just right, each stroke sending Xiao Niu into a state of blissful ecstasy. He couldn't even speak a complete sentence, only panting heavily, his whole body trembling, as if every pore was about to open, about to let out an excited cry.

Watching such a delicate and beautiful woman enjoying his manhood, what man wouldn't feel proud and honored? Everyone would feel that being a man is truly wonderful.

Under Chun Yuan's attentive service, Xiao Niu fully appreciated the woman's charm. He suppressed his urge to ejaculate, trying his best to hold back.

When he could no longer restrain himself, he said, "Chun Yuan... come... come on, sit on me... get on." Chun Yuan couldn't have been happier, and immediately stood up, pulled down her pants, and jumped up. Xiao Niu cooperated by arching his back, and Chun Yuan's wet little hole met his large penis.

Because the penis was too thick, the glans hesitated outside for a moment, unable to enter. Neither of them was in a hurry, but instead, they put their mouths together and kissed passionately, making loud smacking sounds. At the same time, they both twisted their waists, and the plaything on the ground rubbed against each other lightly and heavily. After a while, Chun Yuan became even wetter, and the fluid flowed down her thighs. This lustful fluid was undoubtedly the best lubricant, and the glans, like an old horse knowing its way, soon broke in. As

soon as the club-like plaything entered, Chun Yuan immediately felt a sense of fullness. She wrapped her arms around Xiao Niu's neck, expressing her joy: "Xiao Niu, your thing is so fierce, so big, so hot, it's almost tearing my little hole apart."

Xiao Niu held Chun Yuan's waist, thrusting back and forth, ensuring his glans hit her clitoris with every stroke, pleasing both her and himself. He said, "Even if it tears, it's worth hearing! This is so wonderful, I could do it forever and never get tired of it."

Chun Yuan let out sweet moans, sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes soft, sometimes gentle, sounds that could make any normal man's bones go weak and his penis hard. Xiao Niu found it very pleasing to the ear, rubbing her plump, firm buttocks as he continued. He would occasionally slide his fingers between her buttocks, pausing to let his fingers touch her anus, which made Chun Yuan feel even more comfortable and stimulated, causing her to moan and cry out continuously, like a cat in heat.

For a moment, the room was filled with lewd sounds: men's panting, women's moans of pleasure, and the rubbing of genitals—sounds that resembled the stomping of mud.

The scene was also extremely pleasing, a living erotic painting. A white, fleshy buttocks swayed constantly, a thick, long thing moving in and out of a red, throbbing hole. Abundant spring fluid flowed silently along the point of union, down the legs and body, slowly landing on the ground, forming a small pool.

Xiao Niu became more and more vigorous with each thrust, more and more eager to do it. He grabbed Chun Yuan's buttocks fiercely and thrust hard, making Chun Yuan moan and groan, as if in pleasure and pain.

After a while, Xiao Niu, feeling his heroism was wasted, stood up and let Chun Yuan hang on him like a monkey hanging from a tree. He strolled around the room as if taking a walk, moving as he went, making Chun Yuan squint her beautiful eyes, her little mouth opening and closing like a fish, occasionally letting out lewd moans, "Little Niu, my little man, you're so good, you're doing so well, you're doing so well, you're going to kill Chun Yuan." Little Niu was praised, his face full of pride. He was glowing with excitement, full of fighting spirit. After he stopped, he thrust into her with great force, each thrust hitting Chun Yuan's core hard, making Chun Yuan's moans sound like cries.

Little Niu even asked, "Chun Yuan, is it good?"

Chun Yuan's delicate body trembled, and she cried out, "I'm good, I'm good, I'm going to die."

Little Niu chuckled and said, "I haven't had enough yet, how can you die? Tonight I will make sure you never forget it." Saying that, he stirred like a madman, stirring Chun Yuan until her soul almost left her body.

This position probably lasted for several hundred times before Chun Yuan reached her climax amidst pleasurable moans. The sticky fluid gave his penis a thorough wash, and Xiao Niu almost ejaculated as well, but luckily, his experience allowed him to hold back; otherwise, it would have definitely affected his performance that night.

Seeing Chun Yuan's beautiful eyes closed and her delicate body quiet, Xiao Niu didn't press her. He carried her to the bedside and laid her horizontally beside it. He then stripped himself naked and stood by the bed, gazing at the beauty after the storm.

Chun Yuan was only wearing a red bodice, with part of her breasts exposed. She was still naked from the waist down. Between her plump thighs and below her abdomen, the dark pubic hair was glistening with dew. And below, the delicate petals were faintly visible: the petals were slightly open, also dripping wet—undoubtedly the result of lovemaking.

Looking at Chun Yuan's face, it was as red as the morning sun, her red lips slightly parted, her beautiful eyes half-open, gazing at Xiao Niu with delight. Xiao Niu, finding it pleasurable, moved closer to Chun Yuan's face, bringing his wet, erect penis to her lips. Meanwhile, one of his hands was on Chun Yuan's breasts, grabbing and pressing, stimulating her.

Seeing Xiao Niu bring his penis closer, Chun Yuan knew what he meant, so she opened her mouth and took it in, happily sucking. Xiao Niu, understanding the situation, thrust in and out, treating her mouth like a small hole. That warm, moist mouth was different from a vaginal opening, but equally intoxicating.

Chun Yuan's fragrant tongue busied itself again, working alongside her red lips to serve Xiao Niu, making him cry out again: "Good, good, so good! Give it your all, make me feel even better!" As he spoke, he grabbed Chun Yuan's breasts even more vigorously.

After a period of preparation, the two resumed their battle. This time, Xiao Niu stripped Chun Yuan completely naked, leaving her utterly exposed. This revealed her large breasts. Her apple-like breasts, already swollen from Xiao Niu's caresses, now resembled two mountain peaks, waiting to be climbed.

Xiao Niu pulled Chun Yuan's legs down, clamping them around his waist. His penis aimed at her entrance, and with a gentle touch, the vulva opened. Xiao Niu thrust all the way in, and Chun Yuan let out a soft "oh" of pleasure.

Xiao Niu said, "Today I'll make you live like a woman the most." As he spoke, his penis accelerated, like a sudden storm, her body trembling, her breasts swaying, a truly breathtaking sight.

Xiao Niu thrust forcefully, asking, "Chun Yuan, how is it?"

Chun Yuan, arching her back, replied, "It's amazing, my bones are about to break. Fuck me, fuck me to death, I'm willing to let you fuck me to death."

Xiao Niu laughed, "Of course I won't hold back. You won't need to get out of bed tomorrow."

Chun Yuan retorted defiantly, "I'll break your rod and show you that women aren't easy to bully!" Xiao Niu laughed and said, "Then try it and see who's stronger." With that, Xiao Niu hoisted Chun Yuan's legs onto his shoulder again. This attack was even more powerful and stimulating. Xiao Niu wanted to use his strength to defeat Chun Yuan, to knock her off her feet and make her dare not provoke him again.

The two fought like they were in a competition, neither willing to give in, continuing until they were both exhausted. But halfway through, Chun Yuan raised the white flag and begged for mercy. She had already experienced several orgasms and couldn't take any more.

Xiao Niu then revealed a victor's smile. He said to Chun Yuan, "Come on, I can spare you, but you have to suck it out and swallow it back down as compensation."

As the defeated one, Chun Yuan had no choice but to obediently swallow the rod again. After a while of oral sex, she finally sucked out the semen and gulped it down, as if drinking water. At that blissful moment, Xiao Niu closed his eyes comfortably. He thought dreamily, "If Chun Yuan were replaced by Yue Ying, that would be a man's greatest happiness."

After their intimacy, they blew out the lamp and lay entwined on the bed, enjoying the tranquility after the storm. That serene beauty was unforgettable.

In the darkness, the scene from before could not be seen, but sound was unaffected by light. Xiao Niu said, "I have to go back soon."

Chun Yuan scolded, "Why are you in such a hurry? Leave tomorrow morning, anyway, the old man isn't coming back tonight." Xiao Niu chuckled and said, "I'm afraid I'll oversleep, that would be bad. What if I sleep until dawn and the old man is in bed with me? That would be quite a show."

Chun Yuan chuckled and said, "I'm not afraid, why are you?"

Xiao Niu explained, "Of course I'm not afraid of him, but this isn't my home, and you're not my wife. If word gets out, I..." "My parents will be embarrassed. No matter how unfilial I am, I don't want to cause them trouble because of this."

Chun Yuan hummed twice and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a filial son, not just a lecher and a hooligan." Xiao Niu chuckled and said, "I have many good qualities, not just filial piety."

Chun Yuan snorted and said, "Even if you talk a good game, you won't be leaving tonight. If I let you go, I don't know when I'll see you again." After saying that, Chun Yuan's limbs wrapped tightly around Xiao Niu like vines. No matter how strong Xiao Niu was, he couldn't break free. He sighed inwardly, "It's hardest to resist the kindness of a beautiful woman."

Xiao Niu said, "Even if you hold me back, I still have to leave eventually."

Chun Yuan stubbornly replied, "You can leave, but not now. When it's your turn, I'll let you go." Xiao Niu anxiously asked, "What if I oversleep?"

Chun Yuan comforted him, "No, I'll definitely wake up before dawn. Then you can leave. Otherwise, if you leave, when will we ever meet again?" With that, Chun Yuan sighed deeply.

Xiao Niu also sighed twice and said, "I'll come see you next time I come back. Then we can be happy together again."

Chun Yuan said worriedly, "That's all just wishful thinking. You men, once you leave a woman, you're like a wild horse that's broken free. It's hard to catch you again."

Xiao Niu smiled and said, "I'll come back as soon as possible. Don't think too much about it. If I stay by your side all day, you'll get annoyed." Then, Xiao Niu added, "I have something I want you to tell Mei Yanwang."

Chun Yuan said discontentedly, " "Why bring up that bastard for no reason? He's probably crushed by the cuckoldry."

Xiao Niu said seriously, "I'm talking about serious matters. I don't want to mention him, but I can't avoid it."

Chun Yuan hummed in agreement and said, "Then just tell me, I'm listening."

Xiao Niu then said, "Find a time to tell him that my dad is going to take him to court. If he doesn't want to go to jail, he'll have to see how it goes."

Chun Yuan asked, "What do you mean by that?" Xiao Niu explained: "It doesn't mean anything, just giving Mei Yanwang a chance. If he doesn't want to go to jail, then we can settle it privately. Otherwise, we'll have to go to court, and that will be difficult. Although he has connections in the government, my family isn't short of money, and besides, my family is in the right! Do you understand what I mean?" "

I understand," Chun Yuan said calmly. "You want him to pay up and settle things."

Xiao Niu corrected her, "That's not my idea, it's my dad's. If it were up to me, I would have killed him long ago. But I thought of you. If the old man goes to jail, it won't do you any good. You'll still be his woman, and you might not even have a good life."

Chun Yuan sighed in disappointment and said, "I thought you could send him to jail and let him die there." Xiao Niu said, "Killing him would be easy for me. But I can't do that. His fate shouldn't be decided by me. After all, he didn't directly injure..." "He hurt me. I think it's better for my dad to settle the score with him."

Chun Yuan said unwillingly, "That would be too easy on him."

Xiao Niu said as if promising, "If I ask him to release you, he will have no choice but to. But if I take you away now, where will I take you? Besides, I need to go learn my skills now and can't take good care of you. I think you can understand."

Chun Yuan hummed and said, "Although I'm not very smart, I know what you mean. Just go ahead and don't worry, I won't be a burden to you." These words sounded so pitiful that Xiao Niu felt very uncomfortable. But what could he do? She was not like Tian Niu; she couldn't walk into his house openly. She was someone else's woman after all.

After saying this, Xiao Niu felt drowsy, and the warm fragrance from Chun Yuan's body made him fall asleep quickly and have sweet dreams. As for whether Chun Yuan was asleep or not, he didn't know. He

didn't know how long he slept before Chun Yuan woke him up. Xiao Niu casually asked, "What are you doing?"

Chun Yuan replied, "You should go home." She pointed to the window.

Xiao Niu suddenly sat up, looked out the window, and saw that there was already light; it seemed dawn was approaching. A wave of anxiety washed over him, and he hurriedly jumped up to put on his clothes. He didn't know what he was afraid of—was he afraid someone would see him, or was he afraid Mei Yanwang would bump into him?

When he was dressed, he looked at Chun Yuan again; she was lying on the bed without even wearing clothes, her eyes red, as if she had been crying.

Xiao Niu asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Chun Yuan shook her head and said, "I'm fine. You can go on your way. I won't see you off." With that, she turned her back to Xiao Niu. Her snow-white back made Xiao Niu's eyes light up, and he almost had an impulse. But the light from the window reminded him that he couldn't be willful anymore; it was time to leave. Xiao Niu leaned closer, stroking her smooth back, and said, "Don't overthink it. We'll be reunited someday. Then we'll have our fun, just like last night." Chun Yuan turned around, suddenly sitting up, her large breasts suddenly exposed, like two white dough balls. Chun Yuan deliberately twisted her waist, making her breasts jiggle, which was extremely alluring. She squinted her beautiful eyes, opened her arms to Xiao Niu, and said, "My little man, kiss me again, I want you to kiss me as much as you want." As she spoke, her eyes glistened with tears.

Xiao Niu was moved, so he bent down and hugged her, sucking on her nipple with his mouth, indulging in the ticklish sensation, saying, "You little rascal, not there, it's a kiss."

Little Niu wouldn't listen to her. He kissed her breasts for a while before moving on to her red lips. The two kissed passionately again. Chun Yuan stuck out her tongue, letting Little Niu suck, lick, and enjoy it to his heart's content. In that moment, they were both intoxicated by the game of their lips and tongues. After a long while, Chun Yuan finally let him go. She smiled brightly and said to Little Niu, "Why don't you run? That old guy might be here soon. Then you'll be face to face with him."

Little Niu smiled and said, "Then take care of yourself. When I come back, I'll fuck you hard, and I'll make you cry for your parents."

Chun Yuan grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and snorted, "Go away."

Seeing her smile, Little Niu felt relieved. He winked at Chun Yuan, then leaped up from the floor like a nightingale, then tilted and shot horizontally towards the window. His kung fu was quite good. He gently knocked open the window, went out, and the window closed by itself, looking very dashing and handsome.

Don't underestimate Xiao Niu just because he wasn't good at dealing with experts; dealing with ordinary people was a piece of cake. He went up to the roof, then down to the street, then ran back to his house, and then back to his room. All of this was done so quickly and secretly that no one saw him, like a ghost.

After returning to his room, he practiced his boxing and mental techniques for a while before taking off his clothes and going to sleep. He slept very soundly. In his own home, he could sleep however he wanted without any worries.

He didn't know how long he slept when he felt someone grab his ear. The painful sensation pulled him from his sweet dream.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Xiu, dressed in a brand-new red dress, squatting by the bedside, smiling at him with a mischievous grin on her face.

Xiao Niu asked irritably, "Little sister, what are you doing? I haven't had enough sleep yet."

Xiao Xiu chuckled and said in a clear voice, "Brother, what time is it? It's almost lunchtime, why are you still sleeping? You're like a lazy pig! I've already asked Tian Niu to wake you twice, but she said you weren't awake yet and didn't want to wake you. But Mom and Dad are waiting for you to eat, so I had no choice but to come over myself." As she spoke, she puffed out her cheeks and glared at Xiao Niu with a reproachful look. Xiao

Niu had no choice but to sit up and say, "Okay, okay. Xiao Xiu, you can go out first, I'll be there soon. I'm getting up now."

Xiao Xiu agreed, took a few steps, spread her arms, spun around the room twice, and then asked, "Brother, do you think I look good in this outfit?"

Xiao Niu blinked his sleepy eyes and saw that Xiao Xiu was as dazzling as a flower. So vibrant and beautiful, no wonder she was a famous little beauty in Hangzhou.

Xiao Niu nodded and said, "Of course! My sister is naturally the best in Hangzhou, the best in Jiangnan. In a few more years, she'll be the best in the world!"

Xiao Xiu smiled broadly, then asked, puzzled, "Brother, why 'in a few more years'? Why not now?"

Xiao Niu's gaze swept over her, and he explained, "You're still young now, a child, not fully developed, like a green apple. When you're twenty, you'll be the best in the world." Xiao Xiu's eyes lit up, and she said, "Is that true? I have to tell Mom, let them all know how beautiful I am!" Before Xiao Niu could react, she had already vanished like a gentle breeze.

As Xiao Niu dressed, he chuckled to himself, thinking, "Xiao Xiu is so vain at such a young age. It seems all women are the same; few can resist hearing compliments. But to be fair, Xiao Xiu is a beauty, though not quite as pretty as Yue Lin, and even further from Yue Ying." He entered the dining room to find his parents, Xiao Xiu, and Tian Niu already seated. Everyone's eyes fell on him. Xiao Niu smiled apologetically and said, "You all eat first; don't go hungry because of me." He then

sat down next to Tian Niu, inhaling her fragrance.

Wei Zhongbao called out loudly, "Kid, what's wrong with you? You got up so late. Did you have any social engagements yesterday?"

Xiao Niu smiled and said, "Dad, I didn't sleep well last night. I always have insomnia, and I only managed to sleep soundly at dawn."

Upon hearing this, his stepmother asked with concern, "Xiao Niu, is something on your mind?"

Before Xiao Niu could answer, Xiao Xiu giggled, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said, "Brother must be thinking about getting married, right? Otherwise, why couldn't you sleep?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with smiles, while Tian Niu's face turned as red as the morning sun. Xiao Niu laughed heartily and said, "How could your brother be so pathetic?"

After laughing, Wei Zhongbao ordered, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and eat. The food is getting cold, and it won't taste good when it's cold." As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks first. Seeing this, everyone else also picked up their chopsticks and "started eating."

During the meal, Wei Zhongbao chewed on his food and asked, "Son, guess what Mei Yanwang will do? Will he willingly go to jail?"

Xiao Niu put down his chopsticks, pondered for a moment, and said, "No one likes staying at home and making the jail their home. I bet if he knew we caught those two thieves, he would try every means to avoid getting into trouble with the authorities."

Wei Zhongbao leaned forward and asked again, "Then what will he do?"

Xiao Xiu giggled and said, "Is that even a question? He'll definitely use a lot of money to bribe the officials."

Wei Zhongbao sighed and said, "Xiao Xiu, what do you know? If he does that, he's a fool, not Mei Yanwang."

Xiao Niu asked Tian Niu, "Tian Niu, what do you think he'll do?"

Tian Niu thought for a moment and replied, "He'll definitely think of the safest, cheapest, and most effective way."

Then she smiled and said, "I don't understand these things and I won't talk about them."

Wei Zhongbao praised, "Tian Niu is right, he..." "That's exactly what he'll do." Then Wei Zhongbao took a bite of food and said confidently, "I bet he'll come looking for me. Going to the authorities is no match for coming to me, right? As long as I don't report him, he'll be fine. Hmm, he'll be here soon, maybe tomorrow, or if he's in a hurry, he'll arrive this afternoon."

Seeing his father predicting the future like a wise man, Xiao Niu chimed in, "Dad, maybe he'll come in the morning, maybe he'll come begging for mercy before we've even finished eating."

Wei Zhongbao Touching his nose, he chuckled, "He wouldn't be in such a hurry, would he?"

Just then, a servant rushed in to report, "Master, Boss Mei is here."

Wei Zhongbao looked surprised, glanced at Xiao Niu, and said, "Speak of the devil, and he appears. He's really here so quickly? Haha, let's see how I deal with him this time."

After saying this, Wei Zhongbao waved to the servant and said sternly, "Tell him to wait in the living room. I'll go see him after I finish my meal."

The servant agreed and turned to leave. Just as he was about to walk out the door, Wei Zhongbao called him back. The servant stopped, turned around, and asked sternly, "Master, is there anything else you need?"

Wei Zhongbao said grimly, "Remember, don't even serve him tea. That old bastard won't take advantage of the Wei family."

After the servant left, Xiao Niu and Xiao Xiu burst out laughing, almost spitting out their food. Little Niu thought to himself, "Dad's got a really big heart! He's not as magnanimous as me in that respect." A little

while later, his stepmother, Jingfang, finished eating first. She stood up and left to go to the pharmacy. Then Tianniu left too. After that, Xiaoxiu and Little Niu finished eating one after the other, but Wei Zhongbao was still eating, chewing slowly and carefully, commenting on the merits and demerits of each dish.

Xiao Xiu smiled and reminded him, "Dad, if you don't go soon, that old guy might get angry and leave, and your source of income will be cut off. You'll regret it for three days and three nights."

Wei Zhongbao smiled mysteriously at Xiao Xiu and said, "Xiao Xiu, he definitely won't leave. If he leaves today, I won't let him in tomorrow."

Xiao Xiu smiled, her eyes crinkling, and said, "Do you think he'll willingly let you play with him like a mouse?"

Wei Zhongbao said confidently, "If you don't believe me, just watch and see how Dad plays him." With that, Wei Zhongbao suddenly stood up, his face gleaming with excitement and a sense of revenge. At that moment, he was like an invincible warrior.

Wei Zhongbao walked towards the door, then turned back and asked, "Son, are you coming too?"

Xiao Niu shook his head and said, "Dad can handle this alone. If I go, I'll steal your thunder."

Wei Zhongbao chuckled and said, "Kid, just wait and see the good news." With that, he resolutely strode towards the door. His imposing figure was like an army going to war.

Xiao Xiu saw this and jumped off the chair, then chased after him, calling out, "Dad, wait for me! I'll be your strategist. Don't go so fast! I haven't finished my tea yet!" A fragrant breeze swept by, and Xiao Xiu ran past Xiao Niu and out the door.

Xiao Niu was left alone. Feeling bored, he went back to his room. He lay down on the bed, wanting to sleep a little longer, but tossed and turned like a pancake, unable to fall asleep no matter how long he tossed and turned. He cursed and got up again.

He opened the window, letting the breeze in. The breeze blowing on Xiao Niu's face made him feel much more refreshed. He paced back and forth in the room, pondering the problem. First, he thought, "When should I set off? Then I wondered, when should I retrieve the demon sword after I return to the mountain? When I do, I must be careful not to be followed. Unexpectedly, the map the Black Bear Monster gave me actually came in handy. The place he drew is that cave in Laoshan! So the sword was in that cave after all. It's quite something that someone who doesn't know much about Laoshan could think of such a hiding place. It seems the Black Bear Monster isn't entirely careless; he has a meticulous side." Thinking of the Black Bear Monster, he recalled his tragic end and his instructions to him. Knowing he was going to die, he didn't flinch or show fear—truly a man. Although he wasn't human, his spirit was far stronger than most.

The Black Bear Monster died at Niu Lihua's hands, which was understandable; their grudges were difficult to explain. It was initially thought that only Niu Lihua had wronged the Black Bear Monster, but according to Niu Lihua, the Black Bear Monster was the one who was ruthless first, so Niu Lihua's killing of him was justified. But why didn't he escape further? Since he had already escaped to the Central Plains, why didn't he continue fleeing? Was he unable to escape, or was he simply too tired of fleeing? Who wants to die? Especially since he had a beloved woman in the Western Regions. How foolish! How could he die so irresponsibly? If he had returned the Demon Blade to Niu Lihua, perhaps she wouldn't have made things difficult for him.

Xiao Niu thought again, "What does the Black Bear Monster's woman look like? Is she beautiful or ugly? He asked me to take care of her for the rest of her life, which means he wants me to marry her. If she's an ugly monster, I have no reason to marry her. I, Xiao Niu, have plenty of women around me. If she's ugly, I'll help her find a good family; that would be doing right by my friend." Thinking of women, he thought of the beautiful women he had been in contact with, such as Yue Lin, his teacher's wife, Gui Ling, the princess, Murong Mei, Niu Lihua, etc., all of whom were breathtaking beauties. In particular, he couldn't help but think of Yue Ying. This beautiful woman with whom he had intimate contact was truly like the shadow of the bright moon; he could see it, but he couldn't actually hold it in his arms or grasp it in his hands.

He fantasized that if he could possess all these beauties, what an intense blessing that would be! It would be better than being an emperor! The princess had mentioned that her relative, the emperor, was no better than a human being. If that was the case, and that pathetic man could be emperor, then with my talent, I, Xiao Niu, could be the retired emperor! Just imagining myself as the emperor's father—how glorious that would be! Thinking this, Xiao Niu couldn't help but smile. But then he remembered, this was no joke. Thinking about it in his heart was fine, but if he told the authorities, it would be considered treason, punishable by slow slicing. Then the entire Wei family would be wiped out.

Lost in thought, he heard a knock at the door. Xiao Niu thought it must be Tian Niu, and said, "Is that Tian Niu? Come in."

The door opened, and indeed, it was Tian Niu. Tian Niu smiled warmly at Xiao Niu, closed the door, and stood behind him without saying a word.

Xiao Niu pulled her to sit beside him on the edge of the bed and asked, "Tian Niu, you missed me so much, coming to keep me company so quickly." He grabbed her hand.

Sweetie smiled shyly, not pulling her hand away, and said, "I wanted to help out at the shop, but my wife said I don't need to work so hard. She told me to come and keep you company, saying you're much more important than the work at the shop."

Little Niu felt a warmth in his heart, thinking, "My stepmother is so kind! I'm so content to have someone who cares about me like this. Thinking about it, Dad is truly blessed to have such a wonderful wife." Little Niu then asked, "Would you be willing to come back and keep me company?" As he spoke, Little Niu carefully gazed at Sweetie's pretty face. Sweetie smiled, like a simple wildflower blooming in the mountains. She whispered, "I listened to my wife. She told me to come back to be with you, so I came back."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Niu immediately stood up and said, "Since you listen to her, that's great. I'll go find her now."

Tian Niu also stood up and asked, "What do you want with your wife?"

Xiao Niu grinned mischievously, "Since you're in such a hurry with her, I'll have her tell you to hurry up and enter the bridal chamber with me, so she can hold her grandson sooner."

Tian Niu was overcome with shyness, her neck turning red, and she said sweetly, "Brother Xiao Niu, you're teasing me again. If you keep doing this, I'm going back to the countryside."

Xiao Niu laughed heartily, pulling her into his arms, wanting to take advantage of her as much as possible. Facing his beloved beauty, not engaging in some sensual acts would be a waste of a golden opportunity.

Episode 11, Chapter 3: A Stroll on the Lake

Little Niu embraced Sweetie's delicate body, took a deep breath, and laughed, "Sweetie, let's do something exciting, don't waste this precious time."

Sweetie blushed deeply, gently pushing Little Niu away, saying, "It's broad daylight, we can't do that, it'd be so embarrassing if someone saw us." As she spoke, she lowered her head, fiddling with the hem of her clothes.

Little Niu laughed heartily, saying, "Alright, then let's not do anything during the day, let's do our good deeds tonight."

Sweetie retorted, "Not even at night, I haven't married you yet."

Seeing her shy expression, Little Niu couldn't bear to tease her. Thinking about leaving home to return to the mountains in a few days, not knowing when he would return again, he felt a pang of sadness, feeling that he hadn't made enough time to spend with Sweetie since they met, and he truly felt sorry for her.

So, Xiao Niu said, "Sweetie, the weather is so nice today, let's go out for a walk. Go get ready."

Sweetie looked out the window and saw that it was indeed beautiful—a clear blue sky and golden sunlight, perfect for a day out.

Sweetie asked, "Where are we going?"

Xiao Niu smiled and replied, "Let's go to West Lake, I really like that place." Sweetie agreed and went to her room. After a

while, Sweetie returned. Looking at her again, she had changed into a blue dress, without makeup, looking simple yet captivating. Her bangs were especially striking.

Xiao Niu smiled at her and said, "Sweetie, you're getting more and more beautiful. I'm getting all irritated."

Sweetie chuckled softly and said, "Brother Xiao Niu, you're becoming more and more like a lecherous man."

Xiao Niu sighed and said, "I, Wei Xiao Niu, am not like a lecherous man. I am an absolute lecher. I will never deny it."

Tian Niu said softly, "You are so honest, but I quite like that about you."

Xiao Niu pressed, "Do you like my honesty, or my lechery?"

Tian Niu smiled but did not answer. Xiao Niu answered himself, "Of course I like my lechery. Women don't love men who aren't lecherous." Hearing this, Tian Niu laughed out loud.

Tian Niu dressed up, and to match, Xiao Niu also changed into a brand new blue robe. Holding a fan, he looked even more like a young master. If he were serious, he would look like a refined gentleman, but when he smiled, he was a genuine mischievous boy.

Tian Niu looked at him a few more times, and the more she looked, the more she admired him. Little Niu looked at himself in the mirror and boasted, "How about it? Not bad, right? When I, Little Niu, go out on the street, all the young ladies and wives are vying to come and see me."

Sweetie chuckled, "They must be courtesans."

Little Niu retorted, unconvinced, "Just you wait and see, you'll understand everything then."

Then, the two went out together. When they arrived on the street, sure enough, many people looked at them. The man was dashing, the woman beautiful—truly a perfect couple.

Seeing many women looking at him, Xiao Niu said smugly to Tian Niu, "How about that? I wasn't bragging, was I? Quite a few women were looking at me, weren't they?"

Tian Niu glanced around and said, "Yes, I even saw an old lady looking at you too."

Xiao Niu laughed, "No need to say more, she must want me to be her grandson-in-law. But I have you, I don't want to marry her."

Tian Niu chuckled and said, "If Xiao Xiu knew, she would definitely say that maybe the old lady wanted to get married herself." Xiao Niu laughed heartily upon hearing this. He knew that Tian Niu was right. If it were Xiao Xiu, her words might be even harsher.

The two chatted and laughed as they headed towards West Lake.

**************************

West Lake, like a beautiful woman with countless charms, attracts tourists from all over the world. Although this is Xiao Niu's hometown, and he often comes here, he still loves it. No matter where he goes, he can't forget Hangzhou, and he can't forget West Lake.

The two mingled with the crowds boating on the lake. The weather was fine, sunny and breezy, and there were more tourists than usual. The people were all sorts: princes and nobles, poets and scholars, as well as peddlers and beggars. The lake wasn't quiet either; several boats drifted to and fro, and from some of them drifted sweet songs and melodious music. Most of the lotus flowers in the lake were in full bloom, their fragrance adding to the beauty. Little Niu's eyes darted around, and he asked, "Sweetie, isn't it beautiful here?"

Sweetie stood by the lake with Little Niu and replied, "It's so beautiful! No wonder the girls in Hangzhou are so beautiful, just like West Lake."

Little Niu flattered, "You're just as beautiful, even more charming than West Lake."

Sweetie smiled innocently and said, "What am I? I'm just average-looking. Compared to your senior sister, I'm not even as beautiful as a single hair on her head."

The mention of Yueying made Little Niu's heart skip a beat, like a large stone thrown into a calm lake. This person had always had a great influence on him. If Yueying were in trouble, even if he couldn't save her himself, he would rush to her side without hesitation, even if it meant dying with her.

Xiao Niu calmed himself down and comforted her, "Don't compare yourself to my senior sister. Girls like her are hard to come by. Besides, she has her advantages, and you have yours. There are some things you have that she can't match."

Tian Niu smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Niu, you're so good at charming people."

Xiao Niu said, "It's good that you're smiling. Don't always have a long face. People who always have a long face age easily."

Tian Niu was delighted and said, "I know, Brother Xiao Niu, I will definitely listen to you."

Xiao Niu chuckled and said, "If you listened to me, I would have already succeeded."

Tian Niu's face flushed and she said, "Brother Xiao Niu, you're always taking advantage of me, I'm not talking to you anymore."

With that, Tian Niu walked forward.

Xiao Niu knew she was just playing around and followed her. The two of them jogged along like they were playing hide-and-seek, both feeling exceptionally happy.

When they got tired, they went to a teahouse by West Lake for tea. The tea was just ordinary tea, but when brewed with West Lake water, it became incredibly fragrant and unforgettable.

When they entered, it was crowded. There was only one table occupied by one person. The person took a long time to take a sip, and their face was colder than winter, as if burdened with heavy thoughts.

The waiter led Xiao Niu and Tian Niu to that table and said to the person, "Sir, I'm so sorry, but you two have to squeeze in here."

The person didn't say anything and continued drinking their tea. Xiao Niu and Tian Niu didn't stand on ceremony and sat down opposite her. Xiao Niu looked at the person and realized she was a young woman. She was about twenty years old, dressed in blue, with a sword at her waist. Her face was beautiful, especially her sharply defined red lips, which were very alluring. Her expression was somewhat cold, but more so sorrowful and indignant, clearly indicating that she had many unhappy things on her mind.

When the waiter brought the tea, she seemed to suddenly wake up and looked up at the person opposite her. Her expression didn't change when she saw Tian Niu, but when her gaze fell on Xiao Niu's face, it immediately filled with disgust. Xiao Niu, however, thought her eyes were bright and beautiful. While this woman's looks couldn't compare to Yue Ying or Yue Lin, she was definitely on par with Xiao Xiu and Tian Niu. As

soon as Xiao Niu saw her looking at him, he immediately smiled and nodded in a friendly manner. But she glared at him fiercely, then lowered her head to drink her tea, lost in thought. She clearly regarded Xiao Niu as a toad.

This unexpected encounter displeased Xiao Niu, but he wasn't angry. Despite his young age, Xiao Niu was quite experienced with women. He instinctively knew that this woman had suffered a great blow and couldn't be judged by ordinary standards.

Soon, the beautiful young woman stood up, threw a few coins on the table, and hurried away.

Watching her departing figure, Xiao Niu thought to himself, "Sigh, her butt is so round, such a nice shape and curves. I wonder what it feels like. Hey, she's so pretty, why does she always look so gloomy? Who is she putting on that grumpy face for? I wonder which unlucky man will want her. Hehe, to be honest, if she wanted me as her husband, I probably wouldn't refuse."

The two leisurely drank tea and chatted. Tian Niu looked in the direction the young woman had disappeared and said, "Brother Xiao Niu, that lady was quite beautiful. I saw a lot of men looking at her."

Xiao Niu hummed in agreement and said, "She's alright, but not as pretty as you."

Tian Niu smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Niu, she looked travel-worn, like she's from out of town."

Xiao Niu recalled and said, "Yes, her complexion was a bit dark, which is obviously from the wind and rain. It seems she came from a very far place."

The two didn't speak anymore, and after finishing their tea, they continued their sightseeing. Xiao Niu said to Tian Niu, "Tian Niu, let's have a great time today. It's okay if we go back a little late. Before we go home, let's go to a restaurant in Hangzhou for a meal. I promise I'll make sure you have a wonderful time."

Tian Niu sincerely replied, "Knowing Brother Xiao Niu and being with you is the happiest thing for me."

Xiao Niu smiled and said, "I'm a little unworthy of your praise. I'm just an ordinary man, neither a high-ranking official nor a hero. I really don't deserve your compliment."

Tian Niu shook her head and said, "In my opinion, you are an excellent man. Even if you aren't now, you definitely will be in the future." Xiao Niu happily said, "Okay then. I, Xiao Niu, will listen to you and be an excellent man from now on." The two looked at each other, feeling a warm glow in their hearts.

As they walked side by side, they suddenly heard a voice shout from behind, "Wife, I've finally found you! I've been looking for you for so long!" With the sound, a gust of wind rushed towards them.

Xiao Niu was very quick-witted. He immediately pulled Tian Niu aside, using his body to shield her, and at the same time threw a punch.

The punch landed squarely on a palm, making the person cry out. Xiao Niu also felt the force from the other person's palm, only feeling a slight pain in his tiger's mouth.

He glanced at the man and saw he was a man around thirty years old, his face showing surprise, disappointment, and a hint of anger. He turned to look at Tian Niu, sighed, and shouted, "So she's not my wife!" As he spoke, he grinned widely, almost crying.

Xiao Niu, seeing this, was very displeased and yelled, "What's wrong with you? Who's your wife?" Xiao Niu glared at the man.

The man was quite tall, broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, but his appearance was rather unattractive. His large, dark face was covered with red spots, and he had a bulbous nose. His mouth was unusually large, probably big enough to fit an egg when it opened.

He wore a coarse cloth outfit covered in dust, and a large knife was tucked into his waistband. Judging from his appearance, he was clearly a martial artist. Seeing him like this, Tian Niu frowned and hid behind Xiao Niu. Clearly, she was a little scared. She knew that the man had just said to Xiao Niu with a mournful face, "Young man, I'm so sorry. I mistook you for someone else. This girl's figure and the color of her clothes are so similar to my wife's. I thought she was my wife, so I came over and grabbed her arm. Alas, my wife has run away. Where did she go?" As he spoke, he looked around as if searching for someone.

Xiao Niu then understood what was going on, and his anger subsided a bit. He asked, "How old is your wife? What does she look like?"

The man stamped his feet twice and said, "My wife is twenty-five years old this year. She carries a sword, is very beautiful, and is dressed in blue, similar to what this girl is wearing." As he spoke, he pointed to Tian Niu next to Xiao Niu.

Tian Niu knew he had mistaken her for someone else and had already peeked out from behind Xiao Niu.

The young ox asked again, "Why did your wife run away?"

The man looked embarrassed and said, "That's none of your business, it's between my wife and me. I just want to ask you, have you seen the person I mentioned?" His voice suddenly grew louder, the rough sound like shovels pounding the ground, making the young ox uncomfortable.

Without thinking, the young ox said, "No, no, you should look elsewhere." He waved his hand.

The man didn't leave immediately, saying, "Young man, if you see a woman like that, tell her our master is also thinking of her, tell her to go back quickly." Then he turned to run away.

"Wait a minute!" Xiao Niu called out.

The man's face lit up with joy, and he asked, "Have you seen my wife before?"

Xiao Niu asked, "What's your name? And what's your wife's name?"

Upon hearing this, the man's face lit up with pride, and he said, "I'm Lu Nan, the 'Sai Li Kui,' and my wife is Sun San Niang, the 'Sichuan Swordswoman.'" Upon hearing this,

Xiao Niu almost burst out laughing, thinking to himself, "I thought he was some important person, but he's just a fake Li Kui and Sun Er Niang's sister." Xiao Niu suppressed his laughter and even bowed to the man. Lu Nan took it as a sign of respect and gladly accepted it.

Then he said urgently, "I can't waste any more time talking to you. I have to find my wife. She's been out of town for dozens of days. I can't let another man get ahead of her." With that, he ignored Xiao Niu and ran off as fast as he could, as if a tiger was chasing him.

As soon as he was gone, Xiao Niu burst into laughter, laughing until his stomach hurt. Sweetie looked at the figure and said, "Brother Xiao Niu, this guy is really a roughneck."

Xiao Niu laughed and said, "This guy, I think he's not just a roughneck, he's a good-for-nothing. Think about it, he even lost his wife, what use is a man like that? Just from their names, you can tell they're not ordinary. They don't seem like heroes, they seem like bandits."

Sweetie nodded and said, "I heard from Xiao Xiu that Li Kui and Sun Erniang are characters in the novel *Water Margin*. Li Kui loves to drink and kill, he carries two axes, he's a typical roughneck; and Sun Erniang is Zhang Qing's wife, she used to sell human flesh buns."

Xiao Niu nodded repeatedly and praised, "Sweetie, you haven't come to the city for nothing, you've even improved your knowledge. In two more years, I won't be as good as you."

Sweetie smiled and said, "All I do at your house, except when I'm at the pharmacy..." Besides helping in the kitchen, I also learned a little from Xiaoxiu, since I had nothing else to do anyway.”

Xiaoniu smiled and said, “You’re such an ambitious girl, you could become a female scholar someday.”

Tianniu humbly replied, “I don’t have that much knowledge. Xiaoxiu said it’s very difficult to become a scholar.”

Xiaoniu sighed, “That’s right, it’s very difficult to study and pass the imperial examinations. If you want to be a mountain bandit, like that guy just now, that would be much easier.”

Tianniu pondered and said, “Judging from his appearance, although he’s a bit rough, he doesn’t seem like a bandit. Maybe he really is some kind of hero.”

Xiaoniu grinned and said, “I hope we’ve met a hero today.”

Tianniu suddenly exclaimed, “Oh, the way that guy named Lu Nan talked about his wife just now, doesn’t she look a bit like that beautiful woman we saw in the teahouse?” Hearing Tianniu

say this, Xiaoniu slapped his head lightly and said, "That's right, maybe they really are a family." Then he shook his head and said, "Impossible, impossible."

Tianniu asked in confusion, "What's impossible?"

Xiaoniu expressed his doubts: "Think about it, Tianniu, people can tell at a glance that we're a couple, or at least engaged. Look at those two, one is as beautiful as a flower, and the other isn't even as good-looking as Li Kui. They don't look like a family at all, more like Beauty and the Beast."

Tianniu chuckled and said, "Judging from their appearance, they don't look like a couple, but you can't judge a book by its cover. Maybe this Lu Nan is quite lucky to have such a beautiful wife."

Xiaoniu boldly guessed, "In my opinion, if that woman really is his wife... " "If that's what my wife says, then there's a problem. I don't believe that woman would like a man like him. I think that woman is either stupid, has a problem with her eyes, or was forced into it, or has some unspeakable secret that she needs a man to cover for her."

Sweetie glanced at Little Cow and said, "Little Cow, I don't think it's that serious, right? You're making her sound so bad, so terrible. Maybe this man is really someone important, and that woman admires him and might marry him."

Little Cow hummed in agreement and said, "Then let's just say we know a big shot."

Sweetie asked, "Little Cow, should we go and inform Lu Nan? Maybe that woman is his wife."

Little Cow said, "Sweetie, you're so kind. But even if we wanted to inform him now, we wouldn't be able to find that 'Li Kui' anymore."

Sweetie looked around, and sure enough, there were crowds of people, a vast sea of faces. Where could she possibly find that "Li Kui"? Her good intentions had to be in vain.

The two of them were having a great time, visiting many places besides West Lake, their mood naturally extremely pleasant. Unexpectedly, just as they were enjoying themselves, several dark clouds rolled in from afar, and in a moment, they covered the vast blue sky, plunging everything into darkness. And that wasn't all; soon after, it started to drizzle.

Because the rain came so suddenly, everyone was caught off guard and scattered in all directions. Little Niu hurriedly grabbed Sweetie's hand and ran for shelter. They arrived at the foot of an inn, thinking that the rain would stop soon, but the rain was like a waterfall, never-ending. Their legs ached from standing, but the rain still showed no sign of stopping.

Looking at the gloomy sky, Sweetie sighed, while Little Niu remained unconvinced. After a while, Xiao Niu lost patience and couldn't wait for the rain to stop any longer. He said to Tian Niu, "Let's go, don't wait here like idiots."

Tian Niu looked at the swirling raindrops and said, "Brother Xiao Niu, we need an umbrella to leave, otherwise we'll get soaked."

Xiao Niu smiled at her and said, "What do we need an umbrella for? We're not in a hurry to go back anyway." As he spoke, Xiao Niu pulled Tian Niu's hand and walked towards the inn's counter.

Tian Niu gently shook off Xiao Niu's hand and said with a pounding heart, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Niu chuckled and said, "Do you even need to ask? We're just looking for a room to rest and wait for the rain to stop before going home." As he spoke, without waiting for Tian Niu's consent, he had already asked the innkeeper for a room. The innkeeper's reddened old eyes swept over Xiao Niu and Tian Niu's faces. Xiao Niu didn't seem to mind, but Tian Niu felt her face burning.

As the waiter led Xiao Niu and Tian Niu upstairs, Xiao Niu ordered, "Cook up a few more delicious side dishes, and bring me a pot of good wine to my room."

After leading Xiao Niu and Tian Niu to the room, the waiter went downstairs. The room was spacious and clean, and felt comfortable as soon as you entered.

Xiao Niu sat down on the bed and said, "It's so comfortable, just like being at home."

Tian Niu looked around and said, "We're not staying here tonight, are we? That would be terrible." As she spoke, she looked at Xiao Niu with trepidation, not daring to approach him.

Little Niu chuckled at her and said, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid I'll eat you?"

Sweetie shrank her shoulders and said, "I am a little scared. I'm afraid the rain won't stop, I'm afraid you'll bully me, I'm afraid your parents will worry about us, and I'm afraid Xiaoxiu will laugh at us."

Little Niu pulled her to sit down on the bed and comforted her, "What's there to be afraid of? Let's just do what we want and not care what others say. As long as we're happy, that's all that matters. You must be hungry. We'll eat something in a bit, and we'll leave as soon as the rain stops. Don't be afraid."

Sweetie asked worriedly, "What if the rain doesn't stop?"

Little Niu smiled and said, "If it doesn't stop, it doesn't stop. We'll stay here if we like. You can sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the floor."

Sweetie blushed and said, "I always feel like you're setting a trap for me."

Little Niu's heart skipped a beat. Squinting, he asked, "If it really is a condom, would you still dare to go in?"

Sweetie turned her head shyly and whispered, "I don't know."

Little Niu pulled Sweetie into his arms and said, "It's nothing, we'll be husband and wife sooner or later anyway. What are you afraid of? I want you to be my woman."

Just then, the waiter brought over the warmed wine and steaming side dishes. Little Niu glanced at Sweetie, thinking, "After we drink the nuptial wine, we'll go to our bridal chamber. That's a night of passion worth a thousand pieces of gold!" Thinking this, Little Niu chuckled lewdly.

The waiter put the food on the table and left. Little Niu pulled Sweetie down to sit and began to eat heartily. Xiao Niu urged Tian Niu, "Eat more, you won't need to eat anything when we get home."

Tian Niu glanced at the dimly lit window and said, "It's been raining for so long, it should stop by now."

Xiao Niu poured himself a glass of wine, downed half of it in one gulp, and said, "Tian Niu, why do you care so much? Let's just enjoy ourselves."

Tian Niu was also a little hungry, so she ate with Xiao Niu. Xiao Niu wolfed down his food, while Tian Niu ate slowly and deliberately. As Xiao Niu ate and drank, he secretly glanced at Tian Niu, wondering how he could get her to throw herself into his arms so he could enjoy some romantic pleasure. He thought that since it was their first time together, she would definitely be very reserved, so he would have to make the first move.

Xiao Niu poured Tian Niu a sip of wine and said, "Tian Niu, it's been so long since we've gotten together. Come, have a drink with me. Soon, I'll be leaving home to go back to Laoshan."

Tian Niu was taken aback and asked, "You've only been back a few days, why are you leaving again?"

Xiao Niu smiled and explained, "I just came back to visit relatives. I've visited them, and it's time to go back and continue my studies. I don't want to be a useless playboy for the rest of my life."

Tian Niu frowned and remained silent for a long time. Naturally, she was reluctant to see Xiao Niu leave. She also wanted to be like other girls, spending every day with her beloved, inseparable forever. But Xiao Niu was an ambitious young man, and she couldn't hold him back, nor could she stop him. Besides, even if she wanted to, it was impossible. Therefore, she fell into a state of sadness.

Xiao Niu advised, "Sweetie, don't think too much about it. Parting is a common thing in life. We'll meet again next time." Knowing that she was reluctant to part with him, Xiao Niu felt comforted.

Sweetie nodded and said, "Brother Xiao Niu, I won't affect your future." As she spoke, she downed the wine Xiao Niu poured for her in

one gulp. As soon as the wine went down her throat, Sweetie couldn't help but cough. Xiao Niu quickly stood up and patted her back tenderly to make her feel better.

Sweetie looked up at Xiao Niu and said, "Brother Xiao Niu, I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me." Her face was already as red as fire. People like her who had never drunk alcohol before were very sensitive to alcohol.

Xiao Niu sat down, served Tian Niu a couple of dishes, and then said, "I, Wei Xiao Niu, don't want to live a pathetic life. I want to become a big shot."

Tian Niu nodded and said, "Brother Xiao Niu, I'll always support you."

Xiao Niu laughed and said, "I knew you were a sensible girl. Come on, have some more. After drinking, you'll feel lightheaded."

This time, Xiao Niu poured Tian Niu half a glass. Tian Niu initially found it quite spicy and difficult to swallow, but seeing Xiao Niu's enthusiasm, she didn't want to spoil his fun and drank along. Gradually, she didn't find the wine unpleasant anymore. She felt warm all over and felt a little comfortable.

Seeing that Tian Niu was so understanding, Xiao Niu was especially happy and said, "Tian Niu, you're truly my good wife. I'm already very content to have married you."

Tian Niu smiled and said, "We're not married yet."

Xiao Niu chuckled and said, "Getting married isn't difficult, is it? We can do it now." As he spoke, Xiao Niu sat down next to Tian Niu and pulled her into his arms.

Sweetie looked up at Little Cow and whispered, "Little Cow, I can sense that you're up to no good with me."

Little Cow chuckled, kissed her on the cheek, and said, "That's not no good, that's my love for you. After I've loved you, you'll often want me to love you too." As he spoke, he lightly kissed Sweetie's cheek.

After drinking, Tianniu's face was as beautiful as a crabapple blossom. Her deep gaze, slightly parted red lips, and soft breathing all aroused Xiaoniu's lower body. His long-suppressed desire finally erupted like a volcano. Xiaoniu impulsively picked Tianniu up and carried her to the bed. Tianniu shyly closed her eyes and asked, "Brother Xiaoniu, what do you want to do?"

Was there even a need to ask? Naturally, it was about doing *that*. But Xiaoniu said, "Let's study some knowledge together. Some knowledge can only be understood through practice."

Tianniu said softly, "You should be gentle." By this time, her voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum.

Xiaoniu comforted her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I will make you remember this for the rest of your life." As he spoke, Xiaoniu placed Tianniu on the bed and slowly undressed her like peeling an orange.

The naked Tianniu shone like a pearl, making Xiaoniu's eyes light up. Her body fragrance wafted over, making one feel happy.

Sweetie was rather shy, covering her lower body with one hand and her upper body with the other. But it was impossible to hide anything, which only added to her allure. Part of her breasts peeked out from between her forearms, while a few strands of downy hair were already peeking out from her hands. Sweetie also slightly bent her knees, which allowed Little Cow to see the smooth curves of her buttocks and thighs. He observed her closely and thought that although Sweetie wasn't a stunning beauty, she was still a first-rate beauty.

Little Cow licked his lips, his eyes shining as he praised, "Sweetie, your body is so beautiful, just like your face. I'm coming to keep you company now, don't be impatient." As he spoke, Little Cow impatiently stripped naked and pounced on her like a hungry tiger pouncing on a sheep.

Sweetie turned to the side, lying on her side, and Little Cow missed his target. Fortunately, he was skilled enough to roll around on the bed and return to a normal position. Little Niu chuckled and said, "Sweetie, want to test my skills?

Let me tell you the truth, whether it's martial arts or bedroom skills, I, Little Niu, am top-notch. You'll find out eventually." As he spoke, Little Niu lay on his side, moving closer to Sweetie.

Sweetie, lying on her side, had beautifully sculpted muscles, a slender waist, and while her skin wasn't very fair, it was pleasing to the eye. Her slender waist accentuated her round, firm buttocks. The deep cleft between her buttocks cast shadows, driving men wild.

Little Niu moved closer, his hands gliding over her body, caressing her, and his erection pressing against her buttocks and thighs. This series of actions made Sweetie writhe restlessly, causing subtle changes in her cleft.

Sweetie couldn't resist Little Niu's advances. One of Little Niu's hands reached out and grasped one of her breasts. Perfect, just the right size to hold. Ah, so soft, like cotton. So tender, as tender as freshly made tofu. Furthermore, its elasticity greatly piqued Xiao Niu's interest, making him reluctant to put it down. The hard thing, like an iron rod, touched her repeatedly, causing Tian Niu to sway her hips and pant softly, as if aroused by spring.

Xiao Niu, of course, couldn't be satisfied with the status quo. Finally, he positioned Tian Niu's body squarely. He saw her frontal flesh. Upon seeing it, he was overjoyed. Her breasts were round enough, her nipples red enough; the pubic hair was black and curved enough, and that hidden thing was already half-open, overflowing with saliva.

Xiao Niu's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "So beautiful, such a pretty girl!" Saying this, he pounced on Tian Niu again and continued his "work." His mouth moved like flames, making Tian Niu tremble wherever it touched. His hands also busied themselves, searching everywhere as if they had lost something precious. The penis, too, nuzzled against Sweetie, making her body burn with heat, her heart itch, and her juices flow so freely, so swiftly, so intensely.

All his efforts paid off; Little Bull could no longer resist, and Sweetie let out her first sweet moan. They seemed to be of one mind, both wanting more.

When Little Bull got off her, Sweetie let out a soft "ah," a sound that warmed his heart. Actually, getting up wasn't to leave her, but to adjust his position. He was about to conquer, to charge into battle. He wanted to use his sharp weapon to open the mysterious gate, to let her experience the happiness of being a woman, and to let her remember the detailed process of a girl becoming a woman.

Little Bull straightened Sweetie's body, gently parting her thighs. Then, he climbed on top of her, his large penis swaying, searching for the entrance. At the same time, Little Bull's hands grasped Sweetie's breasts, squeezing and kneading them, and his mouth sealed her red lips.

Sweetie was starting to enjoy it too. She opened her mouth and kissed Little Cow passionately, her hips swaying awkwardly, as if welcoming an uninvited guest, or perhaps trying to dodge his advances.

"Shall I go in?" Little Cow started to kiss her ear.

Sweetie gasped, her words muffled, "I...I'm scared."

Little Cow said smugly, "What are you afraid of? You'll be enjoying it soon enough." As he spoke, the head of his penis was already pressed against Sweetie's entrance, pushing in with each thrust. He tried several times, but without success. An untouched thing is not easy to enter. Little Cow then straightened up, kneeling, holding his penis, wetting the outside of Sweetie's wet entrance, and then watched as the head of his penis tried to insert into the two small red doors. With each thrust, the doors moved; with a few more thrusts, they seemed to have gotten a little bigger.

Little Cow couldn't resist any longer and commanded, "Sweetie, bear with it, the most crucial moment has arrived." With that, he climbed on top of her again, his buttocks slamming down, his glans squeezing into her slit. At the same time, Sweetie cried out in pain, wrapping her arms around Little Cow's neck, tears welling in her beautiful eyes. Clearly, the pain of deflowering was unbearable.

Little Cow thought, "I can't hesitate any longer, I have to get through this." So, he steeled himself and thrust again, inserting his rod all the way in. This was like the death of Sweetie; tears streamed down her face as she cried, "It hurts, it hurts! Little Cow, let's stop!"

Little Cow licked away her tears, comforting her, "Bear with it, it'll feel good soon, so good you'll cry 'Good brother!'"

As he spoke, Little Cow's penis moved gently, the tight, warm sensation making him want to cheer. But Sweetie wasn't strong enough. She held Xiao Niu tightly around the waist, preventing him from moving, so Xiao Niu had no choice but to behave. With nothing else to do, he continued kissing and touching her, waiting for her desire to rise.

After a long time, Tian Niu's brow relaxed a little. Xiao Niu didn't need to say much; he tentatively began to penetrate. It was difficult at first, but became much easier later. Tian Niu gradually began to taste the pleasures of lovemaking, and Xiao Niu received a different kind of bliss than other girls.

"Ah...ah, it's reached the top now. I can't take it anymore," Tian Niu moaned, twisting her waist.

Xiao Niu thrust in and out, making a squelching sound in her tight little hole, the sensation of his penis being completely enveloped was unique. She was a virgin after all; it was just different.

The young calf, smug and triumphant, thrust vigorously, saying, "My little darling, are you enjoying this? If you are, scream it out loud, no one's listening anyway."

Sweetie hummed, still not bold enough. The young calf found it quite pleasing to the ear; her reserved and shy demeanor captivated him.

He thrust hundreds of times, making her gush with fluids. Sweetie writhed with pleasure, her cries growing louder, but still not quite wanton enough. The young calf thought, "This needs long-term training."

Sweetie, having tasted the sweetness for the first time, reached orgasm quickly. Not wanting to hurt her, the young calf thrust dozens more times, ejaculating into her little hole. The hot, burning substance made Sweetie scream.

She didn't even know what it was. The young calf had to explain it to her.

Afterwards, he pulled it out. Sweetie's crotch was a mess, with vaginal fluid and bloodstains mixed together, which was very eye-catching and made Little Niu very excited.

Sweetie opened her beautiful eyes, shyly crossed her legs, and huffed, "You can't look at a girl's private parts."

Little Niu considerately pulled the blanket over her, showering her with kisses and sweet words, making Sweetie's heart flutter. She didn't experience much emotional fluctuation despite losing her virginity. Clearly, this day was within Sweetie's expectations. In Little Niu's absence, she had thought more than once about giving herself to him, wanting to leave her mark on his memory.

The two embraced, and Xiao Niu whispered in her ear, "This time you really are my wife."

Tian Niu sighed twice and said, "What will I do if you don't want me anymore?"

Xiao Niu gently nibbled her ear and said, "Silly girl, how could I? Do I look like a heartless man?"

Tian Niu said, "Of course you're not a heartless man, Brother Xiao Niu. I'm just afraid that if you see a girl better than me, you'll forget about me."

Xiao Niu immediately declared, "Don't think such nonsense. I've always had you in my heart. Otherwise, why would I have brought you into my house? Everyone can see that I'm going to marry you."

Tian Niu hummed in agreement and said, "I'll be waiting for the day you marry me."

Xiao Niu said, "After I return from my apprenticeship, we'll get married, and then we can sleep together every day. By the way, are you still in pain?" As he spoke, Xiao Niu reached out and stroked her body.

Sweetie hesitated for a moment, then said, "It still hurts a little inside. I didn't expect doing this to be so uncomfortable."

Little Cow comforted her, "It's just the first time. It'll be fine next time."

They whispered sweet nothings and soon fell asleep. When they woke up again, it was already dark, and the rain had stopped. Little Cow really didn't want to go home; he wanted to stay the night. But Sweetie had many concerns and didn't dare stay. She insisted on getting up and getting dressed to go home.

Little Cow couldn't refuse her, so he got up. To show his love for her, Little Cow dressed her himself, moving Sweetie to tears. She felt she hadn't chosen the wrong man. Little did she know that Little Cow had many other women in his heart.

After they were dressed, they went out. Sweetie took a step and cried out in pain. Little Cow knew why and smiled triumphantly. Sweetie glanced at him sideways and scolded, "It's all your fault. If Xiaoxiu sees this when we get home, she'll laugh at me again."

Xiaoniu smiled and said, "You can keep it from her."

Sweetie sighed, "She has sharp eyes and a clever mind; how can I hide it from her?"

Xiaoniu said, "That's alright. I can stay with you for the next few days until you're better. I won't let you do any work."

Sweetie agreed, settled the bill with Xiaoniu, and headed home. They didn't exchange many words on the way, but Sweetie felt incredibly sweet, and Xiaoniu felt even more proud.

When they arrived home, everyone had already eaten. Xiaoniu specially arranged for Sweetie to stay in a separate room—the same room Yueying had stayed in. Xiaoxiu didn't agree, but she had no choice.

For the next few days, Xiaoniu spent time playing with Sweetie, not letting her do any work, until she was fully recovered before deciding to leave home.

When the family learned that Xiao Niu was leaving, they were all a little reluctant, but they couldn't stop him. Father Wei Zhongbao said, "Son, I've wronged you before, but don't hold a grudge. I'll treat you well from now on. Come back soon after you've mastered your kung fu; this family needs you."

Xiao Niu grinned and said, "Don't worry, Dad, I'll come back as soon as possible."

Stepmother said, "Nowhere is as good as home. If things don't go well for you outside, come back quickly."

Xiao Niu looked at his beautiful stepmother and replied, "Yes, I remember."

Xiao Xiu, however, disagreed and said, "Brother, next time you come back, don't come empty-handed. Buy me lots of nice things, like clothes and food; I like them all." Stepmother

smiled and said, "Why does this girl only think about these things?"

Xiao Xiu continued, "Brother, when you're out, you must behave yourself. Stay away from pretty girls; don't let Tian Niu down. If you wrong her, I'll stand up for her." As she spoke, she raised her fist at Xiao Niu and smiled at Tian Niu.

Sweetie smiled demurely and said, "Brother Xiao Niu, a man's ambition lies in all directions. I believe you will be successful."

Xiao Xiu chuckled and said, "As for practicing kung fu, maybe I can manage, but as for taking the imperial examinations, forget about it in this lifetime."

Xiao Niu, thick-skinned and unconcerned, said to Xiao Xiu, "Xiao Xiu, next time you have a potential husband, don't forget to let me know. I'll help you think it over."

Xiao Xiu waved her hand and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but you should save your breath. I've realized now that if you're involved in my marriage, it's bound to turn from good to bad, and it definitely won't work out."

Xiao Niu quickly explained, "That's not true at all. It's just that your potential husband is incompetent and can't withstand the test."

Xiao Xiu confidently said, "I've made up my mind now. If I find a suitable husband, I'll marry him. I don't need to ask for your opinion."

The family chatted and laughed, having a lively time. Father Wei Zhongbao didn't say much, but silently watched Xiao Niu, feeling very sad thinking about his deceased ex-wife. He felt he owed Xiao Niu too much, having treated him poorly since he was a child. In truth, his ex-wife's death wasn't the child's fault.

***************

That morning, after breakfast, Xiao Niu packed his things and set off. His father had prepared a horse and some silver for him, and Xiao Niu had also brought some necessary luggage, mostly shady items. Given his current skills, it was good to have these things with him. In case he encountered a formidable enemy, they would come in handy.

His family saw him off at the door. Xiao Niu slung his things over his shoulder, mounted his horse, waved to everyone, and said, "Go back now, I'll be back soon. Anyone who dares to bully us, I'll skin them alive and tear their tendons apart when I return." With that, he spurred his horse, and it galloped forward.

Xiao Niu turned around and saw his family still standing outside the door. The little ox thought to himself, "It's so good to have parents; I'm truly blessed. I never imagined my father would treat me so well these days; it's probably because he's getting older." Just then, the horse turned a corner, and his family disappeared from sight.

The little ox thought, "I will come back; there's no need to be sad." With that thought, he quickened his pace and galloped towards the north gate of Hangzhou.

The journey was smooth, traveling day and night. In no time, he arrived in Huaiyin. This was the hometown of Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin during the Han Dynasty.

Riding his horse along the main street, Xiao Niu gazed at the ancient city and thought to himself, "A man who suffered the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs could become a renowned general, commanding a million-strong army and forcing Xiang Yu, the King of Chu, to commit suicide at the Wujiang River. Although his end was tragic, dying at the hands of a woman, he was undoubtedly a capable man. I, Xiao Niu, though just an ordinary young man, am not content with mediocrity. I too will achieve great things. Even if I am not as great as Han Xin, I will become a truly remarkable figure, so as not to waste the life Heaven gave me." With these thoughts, Xiao Niu was filled with ambition and high spirits, confident in his ability to succeed.

Actually, Xiao Niu hadn't read the story of Han Xin himself in a book; his younger sister, Xiao Xiu, had told him about it more than once. Because Xiao Niu admired heroic figures, he remembered it well. Therefore, upon arriving in Han Xin's hometown, he immediately thought of this outstanding ancient figure.

He really wanted to emulate those scholars and pay his respects to this great man. But then he thought, when Han Xin died, his entire family was exterminated, leaving him without a burial place, not even a grave. What was there to pay his respects to?
