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

Yang Guo's main purpose in coming to this study was to find something beneficial to Yuan Diao's cultivation of the Great Dao. These bamboo slips
were probably not what he was looking for, so he looked around again. However, he couldn't touch the bamboo slips and furnishings in the room
because he knew that although these things looked intact, they were actually weathered. With just a slight touch, they would
crumble like the tables and chairs. However, the clay figurines of lovers should not be damaged. The desk was
facing the stone pillar. He knew that the reason why the room had such strong Yang energy was due to this main beam. This main beam drew in the essence of the sun above and
the energy of the earth below. The entire study had a magnetic field, which was a Yang magnetic point that gathered the essence of heaven and earth. No wonder the Princess Dai and other women dared not enter.
This strong Yang magnetic energy was indeed very detrimental to women's Yin-cold bodies, but it was beneficial to Yuan Diao. It was also the reason why
he was trapped on Wangwu Mountain for hundreds of years and was able to remain intact for hundreds of years without achieving the physical body of the Great Dao.

Yang Guo circled the stone pillar again, noticing a shallow, oval-shaped
indentation . A thought struck him: could this be where Yuan Yao meditated and practiced his internal energy? He sat cross-legged in the indentation,
leaning his back against the pillar, and began his practice. As soon as he started, many scenes flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.
He understood Yuan Yao's entire life. He sighed, lost in thought for a long time, before slowly rising.

It turned out that Yuan Yao was exceptionally intelligent, but also wicked and ruthless. His ambition wasn't to become king or emperor in the mortal realm,
but to rule the Three Realms, to reverse Yin and Yang, and to become the supreme being, the immortal among immortals. As for
the concubines, including Princess Dai, who suffered for him, they were not even on his mind. He and the concubines practiced the art of semen extraction, not as Princess Dai
had just said, but rather to steal the essence of the women under the guise of semen extraction. While
the women practiced, their essence wasn't released, but their energy was already flowing. Yuan Yao took advantage of this to draw their energy,
greatly increasing his own power, while the women only retained the basic gains from their arduous training. Otherwise, even
with the combined strength of twenty-six, they wouldn't have been completely helpless against Master Hu, ultimately dying in battle.

Thinking of this, Yang Guo felt a deep hatred for Yuan Yao; how could he help him achieve immortality? But then he remembered
the guardian deity saying they had eliminated the demon, meaning Yuan Yao had reformed. What did that mean? He shook
his head, no longer interested in searching for anything that could help Yuan Diao attain enlightenment. He glanced into
the room again, flicked his finger to extinguish the fire of the wooden stick stuck in the crack in the wall, and darted out of the study . With
a flick of his right sleeve, the stone door creaked a few times, then clicked shut from the inside. Yang Guo waved his right hand and found that his right arm was now completely at ease
, with no more obstruction from the meridians. He knew that when he had practiced his internal energy cultivation at the Yang Magnetic Acupoint, his skill had improved by another level
. That should be the state of Five Qi Converging to the Origin, which in Daoism is equivalent to the body of a True Person. If it weren't for the obstruction in his spiritual platform just now, he would have already
ascended to immortality . He shook his head again, sighed softly, and thought of Xiaolongnu and his wives, who were like one with him. How could he bear
to abandon them and leave them behind?

Yang Guo entered the main hall, but none of the women were there. With a thought, he beckoned to the top of the main beam, and the talisman
quietly appeared in his hand. He tucked the talisman into his robes and entered the inner room without even opening the door. As soon as he
entered, he heard Xiaolongnü softly say, "Is that Guo'er?"

Yang Guo responded and sat cross-legged beside Xiaolongnü. He saw that the concubines, including Princess Dai, were solemnly practicing their exercises with their eyes lowered
, presumably practicing the method taught by Xiaolongnü.

Xiaolongnü reached out and grasped Yang Guo's right hand; her hand trembled slightly. In a slightly trembling voice, she said, "Guo'er
, I was suddenly overcome with emotion just now. You want to leave me, I don't know why? I'm so scared."

Yang Guo was filled with tenderness. He held Xiaolongnu tightly and whispered, "Long'er, how could I bear to leave? You and I are
one . Unless there is a marriage in the celestial realm, I will never become an immortal."

Xiaolongnu sobbed softly, her hand gently stroking Yang Guo's face. Her eyes were misty with tears, and she gazed at Yang Guo with infinite love
. She whispered, "Guo'er, have I been a burden to you?"

Yang Guo gently kissed Xiaolongnu's lips and said, "Long'er, how could this be? Everything I have is
thanks to you. How can I be a burden? We envy only the lovebirds, not the immortals. That's a consensus of our family, and it will never change
."

Xiaolongnu murmured, "Guo'er, Guo'er..." Suddenly, her body became hot, and she collapsed
onto , trembling slightly.

Yang Guo tenderly stroked Xiaolongnü, then hugged her tighter.

They embraced for a long time, and Xiaolongnü, tears welling in her eyes, slowly sat up straight. Princess Dai and the other concubines, having finished their rituals,
bowed to Xiaolongnü in gratitude. Princess Dai said sweetly, "Thank you for transmitting the Dharma, Madam. I have attained enlightenment, and
have no more attachments."

Xiaolongnü happily replied, "Congratulations."

Princess Dai looked directly at Yang Guo with her phoenix eyes, then suddenly prostrated herself on the ground, saying, "Young Master has achieved the Great Dao; I am overjoyed
."

Yang Guo smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." He took out a talisman from his robes, held it in his palm, and said, "This
is the talisman used by Master Hu in his incantation; I will now destroy it." With that, the talisman in his hand
flashed with fire and vanished without a trace, leaving not even ashes.

Princess Dai and the other concubines bowed in gratitude again.

Yang Guo said, "I have just entered Crown Prince Yuan Yao's study, but I did not find anything that would help the Crown Prince achieve enlightenment.
"

Princess Dai sighed and said softly, "I'm sorry to trouble you, young master, but there's nothing I can do about it."

Yang Guo said, "Although I did not find anything that would help the Crown Prince achieve enlightenment, I have some understanding of the Crown
Prince cultivation."

"We humbly await your guidance, young master."

Yang Guo sighed softly and said, "Prince Yuan Yao's intentions are wicked, and his ambitions are vast. His ambitions are not for worldly riches and
honors, but for the three realms of humans and gods, hoping to become a superior being, an immortal among immortals, and to rule the three realms and reverse yin and yang.
He cultivates the art of refining essence with the princesses, but he has no intention of ascending to the immortal realm with them. In fact, he uses the name of refining essence to steal
the essence of the princesses for his own use. As a result, although his own power has greatly increased, the princesses have only relied on their own
hard work and have not made any progress. Otherwise, with the combined efforts of the twenty-six princesses in their ten years of hard work,
no matter how high Hu Tianshi's power was, how could they have been so easily defeated and died in battle?"

As Yang Guo said this, the princesses and servants burst into tears.

Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu were both deeply saddened. The men these women had entrusted their lives to were men who had deceived
them . The torment they suffered from the refining technique in life was already unbearable for humans, and after death they were unjustly subjected to hundreds of years of darkness.
The suffering of the day is truly unbearable!

Yang Guo waited until they had cried for a while, venting their anger, then sighed softly and said, "Although the Refining Essence Technique is
one of the methods of cultivating immortality, in addition to refining essence, it must be supplemented with mental cultivation methods in order to glimpse the Great Dao. The method that Long'er just taught me
is probably of this kind."

Princess Dai stopped crying and sobbed, "What you say is true, young master." "

Crown Prince Yuan Yao knows this mental cultivation method, but he obviously did not pass it on to you princesses."

The concubines choked up again.

Yang Guo sighed softly again and said, "This matter has hurt the hearts of you princesses, but if I do not speak of it, I will not be able to
resolve the knot in your hearts, and it will hinder your cultivation."

"I am deeply grateful for your great virtue, young master, I..." Princess Dai said, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Prince Yuan Yao has been in Wangwu Mountain for hundreds of years. He must have been troubled by the guilt he owed to the princesses, which caused him to delay his path to enlightenment. However,
this is the cause of his own actions. Only by eliminating his own sins can he attain enlightenment. This

is not something that others can control." Princess Dai and the others lowered their heads and remained silent.

"The princess loves the prince deeply. If the prince had made it clear to her from the beginning that the art of refining essence is like this, then
the princess be willing to sacrifice herself to help the prince attain enlightenment."

Princess Dai and the other concubines nodded without hesitation, their eyes fixed on Yang Guo.

Yang Guo said with a heavy heart, "But the Crown Prince's heart is not sincere. The princesses and Crown Prince Yuan Diao were never compatible from the start. All your encounters and destinies
in this life have been in vain."

Princess Dai sighed sadly, "Thank you for your guidance, young master. My heart is at peace."

Yang Guo looked at each of the concubines seriously and said loudly, "If that's the case, then when?"

Princess Dai and the other concubines rose together and bowed to the ground. Princess Dai said, "May you and your wife enjoy boundless happiness and longevity
. I bid you farewell."

As the concubines rose, celestial music filled the room, and Princess Dai and the other concubines vanished with smiles
.

Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu sighed for a while, feeling a deep connection between their hearts and an indescribable joy. They leaned against each other and
smiled at each other.

After a long, long time, Yang Guo, hand in hand with Xiaolongnu, pushed open the door to the secret chamber. Before they even reached the main hall,
they heard cries of "Big brother, big brother!" and "Young master, young master!" coming from the underground study. They knew immediately it was Azi and
the other women calling out. Yang Guo shouted, "I'm here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the women rushed up the stone steps.

Azi, upon seeing Yang Guo, threw herself into his arms and burst into tears. The other women, their eyes also red, surrounded Yang Guo and
Xiaolongnu, yet filled with indescribable joy.

Yang Guo lovingly stroked Azi's golden hair, then looked at the other women with eyes full of affection.

Tears of joy welled in Yuan Mingming's eyes as she said to Xiaolongnu, "Sister, I was so scared just now."

Xiaolongnu took Yuan Mingming's arm and sighed softly, "Sister knows."

Azi had slowly stopped crying by this time, but still buried her head in Yang Guo's arms, twisting her body and sobbing, "
Big brother, big brother, you can't leave us, you can't leave us."

Yang Guo gently patted her and said softly, "Of course big brother won't. Big brother loves you all too much, how could he
bear to leave you!"

Xiaolongnu gently hugged Azi and said softly, "Azi, be good, your big brother wouldn't bear to leave
us ."

Azi cried again in Xiaolongnu's arms, "Sister, sister, it was so scary just now." Xiaolongnu quickly said, "Sister knows, sister knows." As she spoke, she swept the surrounding clutter

with her sleeve in the main hall , indicating that everyone should sit down. 　　Zhao Ying wiped away her tears and said to Xiaolongnu, "Sister, we were strolling around the Prince's mansion just now . Although it was desolate and messy, we all had a lot of fun. Before we knew it, we had wandered far away. Suddenly, we remembered that the young master had told us not to go too far, so we turned back. Just then, I suddenly felt a tremor in my heart. I sensed that the young master was about to leave us. I was terrified. When I looked at Sister Ming and the other girls, I saw that they were all pale-faced. Sister Azi was even crying. We all thought there must be a reason, so we rushed back to the Prince's mansion. I even kicked down those two doors." 　　Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu turned their heads and looked at the two doors. Sure enough, they had collapsed to the ground. 　　Zhao Hua choked back tears, saying, "We didn't see Young Master, and we knew Sister Long was passing on her skills in the secret chamber, so That's why we all rushed to the underground study. Although Young Master said that the study was filled with strong yang energy and that it wasn't suitable for us women to enter, we didn't care. But we knocked on the stone door for ages without any response, and we didn't know how to open it..." As she said this, she burst into tears. You can imagine how anxious and panicked they were at that moment; they were hardly like cultivators with profound . 　　Little Dragon Girl also hugged Zhao Hua and gently comforted her, saying, "Sister was just , but Guo'er couldn't bear to leave us." 　　All the women looked at Yang Guo with teary eyes and deep affection. A'Zi also looked , two strings of tears still hanging on her long eyelashes, as if she had suffered endless grievances. 　　Suddenly, Yuan Mingming burst into laughter through her tears. Everyone looked at her in surprise, only to see her say with extraordinary joy, "Sister Long , my fellow sisters, we will never have to worry about losing Young Master again in this lifetime." 　　After a moment's thought, the women all understood what Yuan Mingming meant. She meant that since Yang Guo hadn't abandoned them this time, he would never do so again. Azi climbed onto Yang Guo again, hugging his neck and showering him with kisses on the face, saying, "Big brother is so good, big brother is so good..." 　　Xiaolongnu couldn't hide her joy either, and said happily, "Mingmei is right, I'm very happy, but we feel bad that we've hindered Guo'er's path to immortality." 　　Yang Guo smiled and said, "I once said that I couldn't bear to part with all my good wives, and my heart has remained the same. Becoming an immortal is something you seek, not something you're forced to do. As long as you have no desire to become an immortal, the immortal realm won't want you. The guardian deity of Wangwu Mountain once said that there is only a fine line between immortals and humans, and this is true, so there's no question of being a burden." 　　Xiaolongnu was very satisfied to hear this, her eyes full of smiles, and said, "Guo'er, tell me about what happened back then. How could all of us sisters have such a feeling at the same time? It's really incredible." 　　The women were also very interested. In fact, they still hadn't figured out why they all suddenly had such a strong feeling that Yang Guo wanted to leave them.

Yang Guo smiled slightly, stroking A Zi's golden hair in his arms, and said, "After entering Prince Yuan Yao's study,
I sensed that the room was indeed filled with exceptionally strong yang energy, and there was a strong magnetic field. The magnetic field around his desk was particularly strong, even able to
influence my internal energy. Out of curiosity, I sat down to meditate and practice my cultivation at the point where the magnetic field was strongest. Who knew that the magnetic field would resonate with my cultivation method without any
guidance ? As everyone knows, I had already cultivated the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top skill before Long Er, but in a moment of carelessness
..." Suddenly, he reached the Five Qi Gathering at the Origin, which is the Taoist concept of the True Person's Body. Then came ascension to immortality.
The feeling at that moment was one of supreme joy. In that instant, Long'er and his many beloved wives floated in his mind's eye, and the ascension
stopped. Fortunately, his body remained in the mortal realm.

The women were both astonished and surprised, never imagining that ascension to immortality truly existed. They were also deeply moved by Yang Guo's profound love,
for even in his ascension, he was still thinking of them, thus losing his chance to become an immortal. A'Zi cried, "Big brother, you promised
we'd only be half-immortals."

Yang Guo smiled, "Yes, big brother will only be a half-immortal; I won't become a god."

The women all looked at Yang Guo with tearful eyes, filled with boundless affection and love.

Qiu Ju, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly blurted out, "Young master, if you ascend to immortality, I
will be overjoyed and will certainly follow you."

The meaning of her words was very clear: although she couldn't become an immortal, she would follow him even in death. Although none of the women
spoke , the expression in each of their eyes was the same.

Yang Guo said emotionally, "Your husbands can only be half-immortals now. One day, there will be couples in the immortal realm too
. Then we can consider becoming immortals together."

Yuan Mingming said with a smile, "Young master, we are now! We are a divine couple."

The women all shouted loudly, "Yes! A divine couple is carefree!"

Yang Guo, Xiaolongnu, and the others happily toured the area around Qinyang, but did not visit the Hedong
Gang or the Heluo Gang again. It wasn't until early morning of the fifth day that they excitedly prepared to return home.

They retrieved the Panlong Staff hidden at the hilltop. By the time they reached Mengjin, it was already noon. They didn't go into any
shops to eat. After leaving Mengjin, they rested in a secluded spot by a grove of trees, eating the dry rations
and drinking water they had brought with them. The sun shone brightly, gentle and not harsh. Everyone found a large rock, cleaned it, and sat down,
laughing and joking happily.

Chunlan looked around and laughed, "This scene is somewhat reminiscent of the day I met Azi."

Everyone exchanged glances and burst into laughter. Azi was filled with mixed emotions, both joy and sadness. She thought that if she hadn't been so attached to them that day, she
wouldn't where she is today. Her eyes reddened, and she hugged Xiaolongnu, saying,
"Sister, if you hadn't kept me there that day, I don't know where I would be today, and I'm afraid I would never have..."

Xiaolongnu also kissed her happily and said, "Good sister, this is fate. As long as we have this
fate , even if you hadn't stayed that day, we might still have reunited someday."

Azi sobbed a little and then snuggled up to Yang Guo, acting coquettishly. Everyone was in high spirits.

After chatting and laughing all day, they finished their meal and were preparing to pack up and head back to Luoyang when
a soft tinkling sound came from a small path in Linzuo. Turning around, they saw a gray mule slowly approaching.
A string of bells hung from the mule's neck, and the sound was coming from them. A stunningly beautiful young woman sat on its back, dressed in a
blue short boots, wearing a fur hat that covered her ears, and a fur coat. A short sword was tucked into her waistband,
and a simple leather bag was slung over her shoulder. There was also a larger bag under the mule's belly, suggesting she was dressed for a long journey.

Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu were deeply impressed by this sight, as Li Mochou had worn similar attire, and
Yang Guo, had once fled at the sound of bells. They exchanged glances, both very curious about the young woman on the mule's back
.

Although the young woman was stunningly beautiful, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes were fixed straight ahead, as if she were preoccupied with
something. She seemed indifferent to her surroundings, even ignoring Yang Guo and his group sitting not far from the roadside, letting the mule wander aimlessly. 　　Everyone was astonished that such a beautiful young woman was so dazed and confused, and they couldn't help but worry about her. 　　Suddenly, Yang Guo's expression changed drastically, and he turned his head and called out, "Long'er..." 　　Xiaolongnu was startled when she saw Yang Guo's expression, and after looking more closely at the young woman, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim, " It's Xiang'er...!" 　　Yang Guo glanced at the women with a pale face and sighed softly, "Long'er, Xiang'er is in such a state, it's truly heartbreaking." 　　Xiaolongnu said with a trembling sob, "I'll call her." 　　Yang Guo shook his head slightly and said, "No need." With that, he slumped down, staring blankly at Guo Xiang's back , his brows deeply furrowed, and remained silent. 　　At this moment, all the women noticed something amiss and gathered around the tearful Xiaolongnü. Azi glanced again at the girl walking away and suddenly realized, "Ah! She's Guo Xiang, the Second Miss. Sister, she's Guo Xiang, the Second Miss!" 　　Xiaolongnü's eyes hadn't left Guo Xiang. Hearing Azi's cry, tears streamed down her face. She hugged Azi, saying, "She is Guo Xiang, the Second Miss." 　　Azi stamped her feet, saying, "Sister, call her! Call her! She's so pitiful!" 　　Yuan Mingming and the other women stared wide-eyed at Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü, but dared not utter a sound. Over these past few days , they had learned some things about Guo Xiang and felt an indescribable sympathy for the young girl, but they couldn't get a word in edgewise and dared not speak. Xiaolongnü looked at Yang Guo with tearful eyes. Yang Guo sighed and looked at Xiaolongnü, his face full of helplessness. 　　Xiaolongnu softly said, "Guo'er..." 　　Yang Guo waved his hand slightly, and Xiaolongnu immediately fell silent. She knew Yang Guo was already troubled and short of breath; if she said anything inappropriate , she would only hurt his feelings. So she simply nestled gently beside him, watching together as Guo Xiang gradually disappeared into the distance. Azi, standing nearby, was in tears. 　　Yang Guo noticed that Guo Xiang wasn't heading towards Luoyang, but rather on the fork in the road leading towards Mount Song. A thought struck him, and he said to Xiaolongnu, "Long'er, you and the other sisters go home first. Xiang'er's condition truly breaks my heart. I must find a way to help her, alas..." 　　Xiaolongnu nodded gently, saying sadly, "You must handle this carefully. How could this child be like this...?"

"Really..." She sighed, hesitant to speak, and wiped away Azi's tears. Losing all interest
in playing , she picked up the dragon-patterned wood, taking Yang Guo's piece as well, and instructed the women to use invisibility magic to head straight for Luoyang.

After the women left, Yang Guo sat blankly for a long time. Suddenly, he gave a bitter laugh, thinking, "How can someone entangled in such
love and entanglement resemble someone who has attained enlightenment and can become an immortal?" Looking around, he made a plan. He
found a clump of short bamboo in the forest, took a section of a withered bamboo, and made a bamboo tube, like the ones Zhao Ying and her sisters used to send messages, which he tucked into
his robes . He then used his fingers to dab some dirt on the ground and evenly applied it to his forehead, the corners of his eyes, and his chin, adding
wrinkles and crow's feet. He also loosened his hair slightly. Although even if he stood face to face with Guo Xiang now, she might not
recognize him, he still made some adjustments just to be on the safe side.

Although the road outside the forest was deserted, Yang Guo used his invisibility spell and quickly caught up with Guo Xiang. Seeing that she
was still listlessly letting the mule follow the road, he circled her a few times. He noticed that the girl
, whom he hadn't seen for over half a year, had grown even more mature and beautiful, but lacked any vitality—hardly the spirit of a vibrant young woman. He
was so saddened he almost wept. Looking ahead, he saw that this road was the main road to Mount Song. He didn't know if Guo Xiang was
going to Mount Song, but there were no forks in the road. So he flew forward for five or six miles, catching up with Guo Xiang
.

Yang Guo entered a roadside eatery, ordered some food, and borrowed a brush and ink from the shopkeeper. He tore off a piece from the hem of
his long robe, spread it on the table, ground the inkstone, pondered for a moment, and wrote down a martial arts manual. Yang Guo
knew that Guo Jing and Huang Rong had both learned a portion of the martial arts from the Nine Yin Manual. Although he didn't know if they had passed it on to
Guo Xiang , given her age, it seemed unlikely. However, the Nine Yin Manual that Guo Jing and Huang Rong learned
differed somewhat from the one he had learned in the Ancient Tomb. Therefore, Yang Guo used the Nine Yin Manual as a blueprint, supplemented with his own insights, and wrote
a new martial arts manual. Although it was only a few words long, less than a thousand, it represented his culmination of martial arts skills. He hoped that Guo Xiang would diligently practice it
and achieve great success in martial arts in the future, thus fulfilling his wish to protect his little sister.

After Yang Guo finished writing the manual, he circulated his internal energy to dry the ink, then rolled the cloth into a bundle and placed it in the bamboo tube
he had prepared . The sound of the bells from Guo Xiang's mule had already reached them. He stood at the shop entrance and called out, "Miss Guo,
Second Miss Guo."

It wasn't until the third call that Guo Xiang snapped out of her daze. Turning her head, she saw Yang Guo standing at the shop entrance, slightly startled, and said,
"Uncle, did you call me?"

Her voice was still as clear and sweet as ever. Yang Guo's eyes welled up with tears, but he composed himself and smiled, "
Indeed, it's been a long time. Please, Second Miss Guo, come in and rest for a while."

Guo Xiang was naturally cheerful. Seeing someone invite her, even though she didn't recognize the person, she knew that since he knew her name
, they must have met before. So she dismounted her mule, took off her fur hat, tidied her hair, and walked into the shop.
The shopkeeper quickly led the mule to the eaves, tied it up, and fed it. Guo Xiang looked at Yang Guo and said, "Uncle, have we
met ?"

Yang Guo gestured politely to her, smiling, "Second Miss, I met you in Xiangyang two years ago on your birthday." He was referring to
Guo Xiang's sixteenth birthday; her seventeenth birthday had just passed, a time she had spent in solitude.

Guo Xiang exclaimed, "I'm so sorry! There were so many friends that day, I couldn't remember them all
. I had to ask your name, Uncle. It was truly impolite of me."

"Not at all, not at all. Second Miss has friends all over the world, of course she can't remember so many. My name is Mu Gao, and
I used to travel the martial world, but now I dare not travel around so casually."

Yang Guo said as he invited Guo Xiang to sit at his table, and asked the innkeeper to bring more bowls, chopsticks, and food. He then smiled and said
, "Judging from your appearance, Second Miss, you seem to be on a journey and may not have eaten yet."

Guo Xiang's eyebrows relaxed, and she looked at the sky outside the inn with her big eyes. She exclaimed again, "
Oh dear, Uncle, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have really forgotten that it was past noon and I had forgotten to eat."

Yang Guo felt very sorry for her and quickly said, "Second Miss, please eat something, don't go hungry. Let's eat and chat.
It's so nice to meet you here, Second Miss. But where are you going?"

"Thank you, Uncle. I didn't necessarily want to go there; I was just wandering around," Guo Xiang said,
letting out a soft
sigh .

Yang Guo felt a pang of sadness, but dared not show it, only earnestly urging Guo Xiang to eat.

Guo Xiang used to be very talkative, but now she seemed absent-minded, rambling on about
nothing in particular. Yang Guo sighed inwardly.

After Guo Xiang had eaten some, Yang Guo held the bamboo tube in his right hand and said to her, "Second Miss, a
friend from the martial arts world asked me to give you this. It's rare to meet you here today, and it fulfills a long-held wish of mine
. He said there's a martial arts manual inside, and he wants you to practice it diligently. Perhaps one day you can establish your own
school of martial arts." He then handed her the bamboo tube.

Guo Xiang exclaimed in surprise, took the bamboo tube, uncorked it, and took out the
cloth covered in writing. She glanced at it quickly but couldn't understand it, and couldn't help but feel disappointed. Yang Guo hurriedly said, "Do you want me
to explain? It's easy to understand."

Guo Xiang had no interest in it, shook her head slightly, rolled up the cloth and stuffed it into the bamboo tube, then put the bamboo tube into
the leather pouch on her shoulder, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle, no need. I have plenty of time, I can study it slowly in the future.
But I don't know which senior gave me this manual, and I don't know how to thank him?"

Yang Guo said, "That friend didn't say his name, only that he really liked Hero Guo and Chief Huang's second daughter
. He knew the second daughter would pass through here, so he asked me to give it to you."

Yang Guo's words were truly contradictory. Guo Xiang didn't notice the grammatical error at all, and simply said, "I'm so
sorry , thank you so much for your concern, senior."

Yang Guo sighed inwardly and said, "Second Miss, you've traveled so far, why aren't you with your parents? Do Master Guo and
Chief Huang know you're here?"

Guo Xiang glanced at Yang Guo, shook her head gently, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle. I... I
might . I miss my father and mother so much, but I also miss..." As she spoke, tears suddenly streamed
down her face, her eyes staring blankly at Yang Guo, yet seemingly lost in thought.

Yang Guo couldn't help but shed tears, but he quickly turned his head to suppress his emotions. After a while, Yang Guo
cautiously added, "A few days ago, I heard from a friend that Hero Yang and his wife bought a boat and went to sea.
"

Guo Xiang heard this clearly. She suddenly stood up and asked anxiously, "Uncle,
what ?"

Yang Guo sighed inwardly and said, "I only heard it, and I'm not sure. Many people in the martial world are inquiring about
Hero Yang , but they can't find him. Some say he and his wife have gone into seclusion, while others say they've gone to sea.
In short, they've probably fulfilled their wishes and no longer wish to roam the martial world."

Guo Xiang burst into tears again, sat back in her chair, and sobbed, "Big Brother and Sister Long don't want me anymore
."

Yang Guo said softly, "How could that be? They love you dearly, but they have their own lives to live
in so attached?"

Guo Xiang stared blankly at Yang Guo, murmuring, "I just want to be with them... I want to..."
"...Big brother..."

Yang Guo felt a surge of excitement and almost couldn't help but admit that he was her big brother, but
wouldn't ruin her life? He hardened his heart, swallowed the words that were about to come out of his throat, and only looked at Guo Xiang with affection.

Although Guo Xiang's eyes were fixed on Yang Guo, she didn't actually
see his shadow, which was less than three feet away. She shed tears for a while, then slowly regained her composure, bowing her head and saying, "I'm sorry, Uncle, I
was so out of line."

Yang Guo said softly, "Second Miss, please take care of yourself. Hero Yang and Madam Yang must want you to be
happy..."

Guo Xiang lowered her head and murmured, "Yes, Big Brother and Sister Long must want me to be happy. I
must not disappoint Big Brother."

Yang Guo said happily, "That's right! Second Miss, everyone in the world knows you are Hero Yang's most beloved
little sister... You should go back to your parents' side..."

Guo Xiang softly murmured to herself, "Little sister, little sister..." As she spoke, she ate
a few bites, but clearly without tasting anything.

Yang Guo's heart felt like it was bleeding. He truly loved this little Guo Xiang deeply. From the moment she was born, he and Little Dragon Girl
raised and fed her. After several struggles and many dangers, they finally returned her to Aunt Guo's hands. Sixteen years later, they met again
at Fengling Ferry . He celebrated her birthday in Xiangyang, and she followed him into the Valley of Heartbreak. He and Long'er
rescued her from the beacon tower amidst a thousand soldiers, nearly losing their lives at the hands of the Golden Wheel Monk. Every smile, every joy, every sorrow of hers was
deeply imprinted in his heart. How could such deep love be easily erased? But this love was somewhere between brotherly and sisterly, fatherly and
daughterly, yet devoid of romantic feelings. Guo Xiang, however, seemed different. This was precisely what Yang Guo feared. If her
affection for him was merely based on brotherly or fatherly love, he would have already kept her by his side and cherished her. How could he bear to meet her face-to-face yet
pretend to be a stranger? He quietly watched Guo Xiang, hoping she would eat more, yet he dared not urge her.

After a while, Guo Xiang's spirits lifted, and she seemed to only now notice Yang Guo. She smiled sweetly and said, "Uncle
Mu, thank you for talking to me so much, and thank you for passing on that martial arts manual to me. If you ever meet that
senior , please be sure to thank him for me."

Yang Guo nodded and said, "I will. Second Miss, you must practice that manual diligently and not let that friend
's kindness go to waste. I also hope you can return home soon and not worry your parents."

Guo Xiang's mood improved, and she said sweetly, "Thank you. If Uncle comes to Xiangyang, remember to come see me."

Yang Guo longed to hug her and kiss her pale yet beautiful cheek, but he restrained himself. He
stood up and smiled, "I'm on my way now. If I want to come to Xiangyang to see you, you'd better stay in Xiangyang yourself."

Guo Xiang giggled a few times, seemingly very happy, but she didn't promise when she would return to Xiangyang. Yang Guo slipped a
silver note to the shopkeeper and instructed him to prepare some dry rations and other items for
Guo waved goodbye, flicked his sleeve, and strode out of the shop, heading back the way he came.

Guo Xiang watched him leave, suddenly feeling that the figure looked familiar. She opened her mouth to call out, "Big...!"
but immediately covered her mouth, thinking that her older brother was missing his right arm, while this person had both arms. And he had just
handed her that bamboo tube with his right hand, so it couldn't be her older brother. She stood there speechless
, . She remembered to look closer, but when she rushed out the door, Yang Guo was nowhere to be seen
.

She hadn't read the martial arts manual Yang Guo had given her. Ten years passed. Guo Xiang had grown older, and her mind had
gradually calmed. Her belongings, worn out, were being replaced one night at an inn. While changing into a new leather bag
, she discovered the bamboo tube tucked at the bottom. Remembering her encounter with Uncle Mu on the Songshan Road, she
opened to carefully examine the martial arts manual.

By then, her skill had deepened, and her knowledge had broadened. Yang Guo's manual was extremely simple, yet after reading it from beginning to end, Guo Xiang
was astonished. It was an unprecedented martial arts manual! But which martial arts master had passed it on to her
? With her background—her father a peerless martial arts master, her mother a heroine whose martial arts skills among women
were unparalleled, her maternal grandfather the master of Peach Blossom Island, not to mention reclusive masters like the Old Urchin and Master Yideng,
who all treated her like their own daughter. They would have readily shared their knowledge with her if she were willing to learn. Yet this senior,
knowing her illustrious martial arts family background, still passed on such a martial arts manual to her. Who was this person
? Wasn't his martial arts skill superior to all of them? Who was this person?

She suddenly thought of Yang Guo—could it be her older brother? Her gradually calming emotions stirred again, and she felt a surge of heat
throughout her body , her cheeks flushing red.

She examined the cloth handkerchief meticulously from beginning to end, but she had never seen Yang Guo's handwriting before. She felt each character was written
with great care, yet also in haste. The handkerchief seemed familiar; after careful recollection, she realized
it matched the clothes of that Uncle Mu. She vaguely remembered a brush and inkstone on the counter of that small shop,
the ink still fresh when she examined it then. Could it be that Uncle Mu had written it hastily in that shop? Then who was this Uncle Mu
? She recalled Uncle Mu's departing figure—it was exactly like her older brother's back, but who was he?
Both hands were intact. She tried hard to recall Uncle Mu's expression, tone, and voice as he spoke, and his
infinitely . Suddenly, she jumped up in surprise. He...he...was her eldest brother!

Yes! It must be her eldest brother! In this world, besides her parents, many people had doted on and cared for her, but none
as deeply as that person. Only her eldest brother possessed such a martial arts manual, a manual similar to the Nine Yin Manual,
yet more profound. He had combined the strengths of various schools into one, earnestly instructing her to practice diligently so that she
could one day establish her own school in the martial arts world. Yet, she had taken it all for granted, only to
accidentally betraying his good intentions.

Guo Xiang burst into tears. She was certain that Uncle Mu was Yang Guo, but the only thing she couldn't understand was how her eldest brother
had a right arm. Was it a prosthetic? It was very possible, but would a prosthetic be so realistic?

She recalled the events of that day. The man had clearly been waiting for her there. His hands were delicate and long,
seemingly incongruous with his complexion. Ah! They were covered in dust, making him look much older. That's why she called him Uncle
Mu. "Mu"—wasn't that the radical of the character "Yang"? Mu Gao? Ah! Her older brother had told people before that his
surname was Yang and his given name was Gao!

At this point, Guo Xiang had no more doubts; the person she met on the Songshan Road was indeed Yang Guo. Her heart pounded, her soul fluttered
, and the scene at the small shop on the Songshan Road flashed before her eyes. She remembered saying that her older brother and Sister Long didn't want her anymore
, and he said, "How could that be? They naturally care for you deeply, but they have their own lives to live
in..." He added, "They've probably fulfilled their wishes and no longer wish to roam the martial world." This was exactly her older
brother 's tone.

Guo Xiang's eyes blurred with tears, drop by drop, she remembered every word Yang Guo had said that day.
The man said that Master Yang and Madam Yang might have bought a boat and set sail, but he couldn't be sure. Then Brother Yang and Sister Long
must have plans to leave the Central Plains by sea, which aligns with his words about the difficulty of governing the country and taking a raft
across the ocean. There had been no news of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü for the past ten years. Could they really have gone overseas?

Guo Xiang had been wandering the martial world for ten years, and her mind had matured. After much thought, she knew that her
fate ended there. Otherwise, how could her beloved brother, whom she longed for day and night and whose presence she cherished in her dreams, not recognize her in person? His
earnest instructions—how could she have received no response for ten years? If she had recognized her
brother on the Songshan Road, how could he have left her?

That night, Guo Xiang couldn't sleep. Although she knew their fate was sealed, her longing for Yang Guo could not be extinguished. She pressed
the cloth torn from Yang Guo's clothes, inscribed with martial arts techniques, tightly against her cheek. The unforgettable
essence seemed to seep into her again, and she murmured, "Big brother, big brother...
"

Early on the sixth day, Xiaolongnu led her maids and servants in decorating the wedding hall. The maids were all in high spirits
, preparing for their beloved mistress's joyous occasion, and the whole family was immersed in happiness.

Azi, however, was as usual, running around and laughing incessantly. She was indescribably happy; after waiting for so long
, her wish was finally coming true, no wonder she was so excited. Zhao Hua teased her, "You don't look like a bride at all! You
look like a little girl." Azi retorted, "Hmph! Sister Hua was the same when she got married, and you laughed at me
, hmph! hmph!" She kept hmphing, showing how extremely excited she was; even her old habits had resurfaced.

Shortly after Chenshi (7-9 AM), Yan Juren and Qin Yanfen arrived at the Yang family home. Everyone was delighted to see each other, and since
it was still the Lunar New Year, they exchanged congratulations.

Qin Yanfen first helped instruct the maids on decorating the wedding hall. Her experience was invaluable, and under her guidance
, the hall's atmosphere was significantly improved. Xiaolongnu was both impressed and pleased, laughing, "Senior Sister Qin is truly capable! This
wedding hall looks absolutely beautiful!"

Azi also tugged at Qin Yanfen's sleeve, thanking her profusely.

From early morning, Azi's eyes and brows were filled with joy, radiating youthful charm that infected
everyone , making them beam with happiness as well.

With the wedding hall ready, there wasn't much else to do. The wedding was scheduled for Shenshi (3-5 PM), so there was plenty of time, and
lunchtime was still early. However, Qin Yanfen seemed impatient, pulling her two junior sisters towards their room. Everyone
found this strange, but Xiaolongnu smiled slightly, as if she already knew what was going on.

As soon as she entered the room, Qin Yanfen hurriedly closed the door, her face flushed as she looked at her two junior sisters, hesitant to speak. Zhao Ying
asked with a half-smile, "Senior Sister, what's wrong?"

Zhao Hua pulled over a chair for Qin Yanfen to sit down, chuckling, "Senior Sister, have those gang leaders' wives and young ladies
already visited your house?"

Qin Yanfen couldn't sit still; she had barely sat down when she stood up again, as if gathering her courage, and said with a mixture of shyness and anxiety, "
My two dear junior sisters, please don't tease me. I was so envious of those two Madam
Wangs ! You have such skills, yet you don't use them on your senior sister..."

Zhao Ying laughed, "Senior Sister, that's only temporary. You know, if you don't practice bedroom arts, in three to five years
, then..."

"I know, I know, of course I know, but wouldn't it be better if I could get my figure back right now
?" Qin Yanfen turned around aggrievedly, stroking her cheeks, and said to Zhao Ying and Zhao Hua, "Look
at how I am now, my face is round, my waist is thick, my butt is big... and my breasts are getting smaller and smaller...
When will I be able to get them back through kung fu? Good junior sisters, please be kind and turn
me back first, so I'll have more confidence when I practice."

In fact, Qin Yanfen's figure was not as bad as she said. Compared to the average middle-aged woman, she was
much more beautiful. It was just that she was extremely envious of Zhong Yu and Situ Zhen's figures and beautiful faces after Zhao Ying and Zhao Hua's treatment,
so she insisted on having the two of them perform the treatment on her.

Zhao Ying chuckled and said, "Senior Sister, why are you in such a hurry?"

Qin Yanfen was both shy and somewhat forlorn and sentimental, saying, "After Sister Azi's wedding today, I know you will
soon be leaving Luoyang. I don't know when I'll see you again..."

Zhao Ying exclaimed, thinking, "That's true," and then said, "Senior Sister, if you want me to perform magic for you,
that's definitely no problem. Besides, Hua Mei and I are now even more experienced, and we guarantee we can mold you into a delicate beauty."
"A beautiful woman from Didi, but what if my brother-in-law
falls for Wouldn't that harm him and yourself?"

Qin Yanfen was suddenly startled. This was a big problem. She knew her husband's character very well.
What if he really couldn't endure it and insisted on... wouldn't that be just as Zhao Ying said, harming him and herself? Thinking
of this hesitated, frowning, and remained silent for a moment.

Zhao Hua felt sorry for her, knowing that his family would soon leave Luoyang, and it was hard to say
when they would see each other again. This senior sister had been very kind to them, and it would be right to leave her a memento
. A thought struck her, and she said, "Senior Sister, don't worry. I have a way to keep
your husband from trying to harm you before your term of seclusion ends."

Qin Yanfen was overjoyed and quickly pulled Zhao Hua aside, saying, "Good Junior Sister, tell me quickly, I'll do whatever you say..."

Zhao Hua giggled, "Senior Sister, you look just like a little girl..." Then, she said to
Zhao Ying , "Sister, Senior Sister Qin is so good to us sisters, and she takes such good care of our whole family..." " Just like
Senior Sister said, we'll be leaving Luoyang soon, and we don't know when we'll meet again. If we can leave a beautiful memento for
Senior Sister , that would be very meaningful."

Zhao Ying nodded and said, "What Hua-mei said is right."

Zhao Hua continued, "Today, let's sisters perform our magic on Senior Sister properly, so that she can surpass Xi Shi and
outshine Diao Chan, and that Senior Sister's husband will stay with her for life and never be unfaithful again."

These words made Qin Yanfen beam with joy, giggling happily.

Zhao Ying also nodded repeatedly. Zhao Hua then smiled and said, "Since Senior Sister's husband is in seclusion, according to the
time set by the young master, there should be five more months. When we perform our magic on Senior Sister, let's also go into seclusion, so that Senior Sister's husband
can't touch Senior Sister during these five months. What do you think?"

Zhao Ying and Qin Yanfen were both puzzled and looked at Zhao Hua with surprise.

Zhao Hua found it both funny and amusing, saying, "Let's sew up the entrance to your 'private place' so your husband
can't cross the line."

Qin Yanfen found it unbelievable, blushing as she said, "Junior Sister Hua..."

Zhao Ying's eyes lit up, and she happily agreed, "That's feasible..."

Zhao Hua laughed, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, we're not really going to sew it up. We'll just use sheep thread
to sew a couple of stitches. It won't interfere with bathing or the discharge of menstrual fluids. We'll tell your husband that it's not to prevent him, but because it's necessary for your ritual
. We'll lie and say that there's medicine hidden in the sheep thread, and after three to five months, the sheep thread will dissolve on its own, and your vulva
will be as virginal as before. To preserve your beauty, your husband will..." " They certainly wouldn't dare to violate her, and this period is also
a good time to put an end to his ambitions."

Qin Yanfen was both ashamed and happy. Zhao Ying also thought this method was very good, so she started preparing the necessary supplies and
asked Qin Yanfen to go into the bathroom to bathe. Zhao Hua went out of the room to the hall and whispered to Xiaolongnu.
Xiaolongnu agreed very much and said repeatedly, "It's only right, it's only right. You and Yingmei will have to go through the trouble."

Everyone in the hall who was chatting with Yan Juren heard it. Yan Juren's skills were not good, and he didn't
hear . He looked at Zhao Hua with some surprise, then at Xiaolongnu, and saw that all the women
were looking at him with a half-smile and a mischievous look. He couldn't help but feel very embarrassed and wondered if he had done something wrong .

This situation was very impolite to guests, but firstly, everyone was familiar with each other, and secondly, Yan Juren regarded their
family as gods and knew that they would never do anything to harm him, so he just looked at everyone with a silly smile.

Azi jumped up and ran straight to Zhao Ying and Zhao Hua's room with a giggle. Unexpectedly, after only a short
while, she pouted and returned to the hall, snuggling up to Xiaolongnu and whining, "Sister,
Sister is so mean, she won't let me see!" It turned out she had been kicked out by Zhao Ying. All the women burst into laughter.

Xiaolongnu hugged her, coaxing, "You're the bride today. Your Sister Ying and Sister Hua have things to do,
so don't bother them. They can teach you this skill later."

Azi beamed, exclaiming, "That's wonderful…!" She then said to Zhao Hua, "Sister Hua,
you must teach me!"

Zhao Hua smiled, "Teaching you is no problem, but who are you going to use the spell on?"

Azi hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "Oh right, who…?" Suddenly remembering her mother, she
jumped up , "My mother…."

Zhao Hua … Walking to Azi's side, Zhao Hua hugged her and kissed her on the cheek, saying, "Good sister,
I'm very happy that you have such filial piety, but this won't work. Your aunt hasn't practiced internal energy, so this method
won't work ."

Azi looked at Zhao Hua with disappointment and said, "Sister Hua, you're not lying to me?"

Zhao Hua said softly, "How could I lie to you? If I could, I would have urged the young master to go to Lin'an long ago
. Would I be so stingy?"

Azi lowered her head sadly and remained silent. Xiaolongnu gently stroked her hands and comforted her softly.
Zhao Hua kissed Azi on the forehead, then said goodbye to Yang Guo and the other women and went back to her room.

Qin Yanfen's martial arts foundation was very profound, which explained why her master, Li Yumei, valued her highly. However, in recent years,
she had been busy with family and external affairs with Yan Desheng, and many of her martial arts skills had been neglected, causing her body to become somewhat deformed. But she,
Zhao Ying , and Zhao Hua were from the same school and learned the same basic skills, so they were very compatible when using their techniques. Zhao Ying and
Zhao Hua were grateful for her kindness to them, and since they didn't know when they would see her again, they took extra care to embellish
her entire body, including her hair, teeth, eyebrows, eyelashes, pubic hair, fingernails, and toenails.
It could be said that Qin Yanfen was completely transformed from head to toe, becoming a woman whose beauty surpassed that of Xi Shi and Diao Chan. The two
women carefully repaired the scars inside and outside her vulva from childbirth and long-term sexual activity, as well as the slightly darkened
labia . They even added a delicate pink color to her anus. They also sewed two stitches into her vulva with sheep thread
. These two stitches were important; they weren't sewn at the entrance, but inside. The main purpose was to keep the sheep thread
moist inside the vulva. If they were sewn on the outside, it would be inconvenient for bathing, not to mention unsightly. If the sheep thread couldn't stay moist
, it would dry out and crack, and then it wouldn't dissolve on its own, and it would leave a scar. So the two women were extremely careful, and this
operation alone took a lot of time.

After carefully applying pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory powder to Qin Yanfen's vulva, Zhao Hua took out a piece of white gauze, cut it into several
small pieces, and said to Qin Yanfen, "Senior sister, when you get home, stick this gauze on the door. Find an opportunity
to let your brother-in-law see it. He will definitely ask what it is. Just say it's a wound left when I performed a spell on you, and it will take
several months to heal. That way, he will believe you more."

Qin Yanfen was overjoyed, her beauty radiating from all directions. Her mood was the most joyful she had ever been. She felt incredibly light
and . She hugged the two women, kissing and jumping, extremely grateful.

At this moment, Qin Yanfen was truly graceful, with smooth and even skin, full breasts and pert buttocks. With a few light steps, she swayed
gracefully , captivating all who saw her, looking like a young woman in her twenties. Their Hundred Flowers Palace was
a place for training beauties, and this art of seduction was their forte. Qin Yanfen, naked, was posing and making
faces in front of the mirror, her slender waist swaying, giggling to herself as if she had found a priceless treasure.

Zhao Ying and Zhao Hua admired Qin Yanfen's body, quite satisfied with their handiwork, and also happy for
her .

Seeing Qin Yanfen's overjoyed expression, Zhao Hua couldn't help but laugh, "Senior sister, you can't
show off in front of your brother-in-law like this now. What if he tries to force himself on you? All your efforts will be wasted."

Qin Yanfen smiled like a peach blossom in full bloom, proudly saying, "Of course! That shameless bastard, he'll have
to taste the bitterness of waiting in a cold cave before he'll cherish me, hmph! hmph!" She even imitated A Zi's hmph.

The three women chatted and laughed, Qin Yanfen still reluctant to put on her clothes. She was extremely satisfied with her figure, looking
at herself from left to right , front to back, increasingly pleased with herself. She kept running to the mirror, then jumping in front of the two women,
practically restless, her joy uncontrollable.

Qin Yanfen had lost weight, but her breasts were much fuller. Her old clothes no longer fit, so
Zhao Ying gave her a new set of her own clothes. Qin Yanfen thanked her profusely, her face beaming. After she finished dressing and tidying
herself, she suddenly exclaimed, banging her head repeatedly, cursing, "Damn it, damn it,
I forgot something so important!" While cursing, she took a bamboo tube from her long robe and handed it to Zhao Ying, saying, "This
is a letter from Senior Sister Liu of Lin'an. I received it yesterday evening. I was going to deliver it tonight, but Madam Wang
and the others are at my house, and I thought..." " I was supposed to come here this morning, so I brought this with me. I was so busy having my two junior sisters help me
with the spell that I almost forgot about this important matter."

Zhao Ying recognized the bamboo tube and sealing wax as a message from Senior Sister Liu of Lin'an. It must contain
news about Azi's father. She remembered that a little over a month ago, Xiaolongnu and Azi each wrote a letter to Prince Zhou, informing him of Azi
's upcoming marriage. This must be a reply from Prince Zhou, but she felt uneasy. Prince Zhou
was surrounded by treacherous people and could be in danger at any moment. The contents of the letter were still unknown. Her
expression was grave. After considering for a moment, she gestured for Zhao Hua to invite Xiaolongnu in to discuss it together.

As soon as Zhao Hua left the room, he heard laughter filling the hall. It turned out that Yan Desheng was quite talkative and witty, which was in the nature of a businessman. He had spent twenty years
in Luoyang, a place teeming with heroes and villains, so his extensive knowledge and experience were undeniable. Previously, because he wasn't familiar with Yang Guo's family, and because they were all women except for Yang Guo, he held them in high esteem and hadn't had the opportunity to showcase his talents. But today, with Yang Guo and A Zi's wedding in full swing, everyone was filled with joy, so their conversation became quite lively and interesting. He embellished and boasted about the strange and wonderful things he had heard and seen in the marketplace , making Xiaolongnu, Yuan Mingming, and the other women laugh uproariously. Xiaolongnu, in particular, had no life experience whatsoever. Although she had spent the past six months with the women and heard about their experiences and adventures in the martial world, and had gained some experience herself, compared to Yan Desheng , it was nothing. So she listened with great interest, laughing non-stop. Even Yang Guo was laughing heartily. As soon as 　　Zhao Hua entered the hall, everyone looked at her. She smiled at the talkative Yan Desheng and said, " Brother-in-law is so happy, he'll be even happier later!" 　　Yan Desheng was stunned and asked, "Hua-mei, you mean...?" 　　Zhao Hua smiled charmingly and said, "You'll find out soon enough!" As she spoke, she bent down and whispered in Xiaolongnu's ear , "Sister, please come to my room to discuss something." 　　Xiaolongnu gave a surprised "Oh" and immediately stood up. Azi was determined to stick with Xiaolongnu this time, and Zhao Hua hesitated for a moment but didn't stop her. 　　As soon as they left the hall, Azi leaped towards Zhao Ying and Zhao Hua's bedroom, immediately shouting , "Sister Qin…!" 　　Yuan Mingming, Chunlan, and Qiuju in the hall already knew what was going on and couldn't help but chuckle. Yan Desheng, however, paled , thinking something had happened to his wife. Yuan Mingming smiled, "Brother-in-law, don't be nervous, it's good news!" 　　Yan Desheng still couldn't help but peek towards the hall entrance, too embarrassed to leave his seat. Suddenly, he saw Azi supporting a stunningly beautiful woman with her head bowed, lingering at the hall entrance. It seemed she wanted to come in, yet also seemed shy and hesitant. Yan Desheng was greatly surprised; when had such a beauty arrived at the Yang family? He looked closer and realized the woman very familiar. He stood up and looked again—this…this was his wife! He was utterly astonished. Turning back to look at Yang Guo and the women, he saw they were also curiously staring at the woman. He cried out, "Yanfen...!" and rushed over, but dared not touch her, only staring blankly at her. 　　Qin Yanfen shyly raised her head, her cheeks flushed, and softly called out, "Husband!" 　　Yan Desheng cried out again, "Ah! It really is Yanfen...!" He pulled her into his arms, looking her up and down with disbelief, repeatedly saying, "This...this..." 　　Azi clapped her hands and giggled, "Brother-in-law Yan's wife is so beautiful! Really beautiful!" 　　Yan Desheng trembled all over, stammering, "How...?" 　　Yuan Mingming quietly came over, first taking Qin Yanfen into her arms, then helping her sit down beside her. Chunlan and Qiuju also gently helped the dumbfounded Yan Desheng to his seat. 　　Yang Guo laughed heartily and said, "Brother Yan, congratulations to your wife on her health regimen! This is a great joy, we must celebrate!"

Azi jumped and shouted with joy, saying, "Sister Qin is so beautiful, so beautiful!" She clung
to , kissing and cuddling him, and whispered, "Big brother, I want to learn this too..."

Yang Guo laughed, "Didn't your sister Hua promise to teach you? You don't need it..."

Azi said "Oh," and then said sweetly, "Then let's play by ourselves... it's fun too..."

Yang Guo kissed Azi and laughed, "Which of your sisters wants to play this with you?"

Azi said "Oh" again, and said with some disappointment, "Oh right, they're all so beautiful..."

Yan Desheng stared intently at Yuan Mingming's wife beside him, wanting to go over but not daring to. He felt restless and anxious
, like an ant on a hot pan. His anxious and restless appearance made the onlookers laugh until their stomachs hurt.

As soon as Xiaolongnu entered the room, Zhao Ying immediately handed her the bamboo tube, saying, "Sister, this should be
a reply from Prince Zhou. I dare not open it without your permission; please make the decision."

Xiaolongnu gave a soft "Ah," and said, "You've come at just the right time. I hope everything goes smoothly." She glanced at the two
women and said, "Ying-mei, you open it, and we'll examine it together."

Zhao Ying took the bamboo tube, removed the sealing wax, opened the stopper, and pulled out the contents. Inside, there was only a
letter. She unfolded the letter and read aloud: "To Yingmei and Huamei: After reading this letter, Prince Zhou and Princess Zhou
both cried and laughed, overjoyed, saying that Heaven had eyes. I, your humble sister, also shed tears with them. That evening, the Prince invited us to dinner and also
invited your brother-in-law to the Prince's residence. Everyone was very happy. The next day, the Prince sent the entire dowry to me, and Princess
Zhou personally came and stayed for two days before returning. The Prince and Princess Zhou said that they were satisfied and would not write any more letters.
They entrusted everything to Miss Long, and they were very at ease. I, your humble sister, miss you both very much and also long to meet Miss Long, whom everyone admires
. I eagerly await our reunion. Yanqing. [Date]"

When Zhao Ying read the first sentence, Xiaolongnu and Zhao Hua exchanged a glance, and a
great weight . By the time Zhao Ying finished reading, all three women were beaming with joy. It was truly a perfect ending.

Just then, Azi skipped in, her face beaming. "
Big brother said we're going to eat soon, the guests are starving!" she said.

Zhao Hua playfully pinched her cheek and laughed, "I think you're the one who's starving."

Azi blushed and said shyly, "Sister Hua is so mean, she's making fun of me." Then she whispered, "
Brother so funny, he doesn't even recognize his good wife anymore, he doesn't dare to speak loudly, afraid of scaring Sister Qin
!" She giggled as she spoke.

Little Dragon Girl, Zhao Ying, and Zhao Hua couldn't help but laugh too.

After a few laughs, Xiaolongnu took Liu Yanqing's letter and handed it to Azi, saying, "Azi, this
is a letter from your sister Ying and the others in Lin'an, from Senior Sister Liu. She's come at just the right time, and congratulations to you too
."

Azi was startled and quickly read it carefully. After only reading the first two lines, she jumped up in tears, crying out,
"Father, Mother, you're so kind... Waaah... Waaah... Father... Waaah... Mother..." She read it several times
through teary , and thinking of her upcoming marriage today, with her parents not by her side, yet still so loving
, she simply sat on the ground and cried her heart out. Xiaolongnu, Zhao Ying, and Zhao Hua all wept with her.

After a long while, Chunlan pushed the door open again. Seeing the scene, she was greatly surprised and hurriedly said, "
Sister Long, this…?"

Little Dragon Girl wiped away her tears, gently picked up Azi from the ground, and said softly, "Good sister
, your father and mother love you so much, you should be happy! Although they aren't by your side, you have your sister here!
And your loving older brother and so many good sisters will take care of you. In a few days, we'll be going to Lin'an,
and then you'll be able to see your parents. You'll have gone from being a little princess of the Zhou Prince's mansion to Madam Yang, how wonderful
!"

Azi sobbed in Little Dragon Girl's arms, but upon hearing the last sentence, she burst
out and protested, "Sister, you're so mean, I don't want to come anymore!"
