Dragon Soul Heroes - Chapter 7: Devouring God of the Void

The battle was about to begin. Yuan Qitian roared and struck down with his tungsten iron rod. The immense force of the rod opened a path of slaughter. The ground trembled as the rod struck. Ce Huangtu coldly shouted and his palm shook the mountains and rivers. Karmic fire burned the sky and spread along the cracks in the ground.
With a thunderous roar, both sides retreated a step, and the rear forces seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. Xuanmen swords flashed and slashed down, while Bo Xun summoned the Dragon Elephant Ring Blade and the Mandala Sword to meet the attack. Long Hui stepped on the Swimming Dragon Step, and the Demon Queen made the Flying Phoenix Finger with her hand, attacking Tianling Chan together.
The air currents exploded, causing mountains and rivers to crumble and the sun and moon to lose their light. The battle between the two sides grew increasingly fierce, stirring up enormous gales that made it impossible for living beings to approach.
The eight innate beings fought fiercely in three separate battles, gradually moving away from the battlefield. Each of them harbored different intentions. Yuan Qitian's staff was sharp and powerful, yet his moves were unpredictable, keeping Ce Huangtu tightly occupied. Jingchen wanted to kill the false Buddha to avenge his friend, while Yuanding vowed to kill the madman and establish his authority. Bo Xun combined offense and defense, and his supernatural powers reappeared. Although he was fighting two against one, he showed no signs of weakness.
Yuan Ding used the move "Heavenly Thunder Slaying Demon," transforming the vast thunderous energy into a blade that swiftly swept across Bo Xun's neck. Jing Chen unleashed the "Kan Yue Yan Shui," a sword imbued with the essence of water, stabbing towards Bo Xun's feet.
Despite the flurry of sword and saber attacks, Bo Xun remained calm and composed, his Dragon Elephant Ring Blade held upright in front of his chest to block the Xuan Yang Feng sword, while the Mandala Sword was plunged into the ground to seal the Zhenwu Sword.
The sword blade of the Pure Dust Sword flicked upwards, aiming for the False Buddha's dantian, but it was intercepted by the Reincarnation Golden Wheel a step ahead.
Yuan Ding also changed his move at the same time, slashing diagonally at the shoulder with his blade.
Bo Xun chuckled, and as soon as he had a thought, the magic cone shot out like lightning, aiming at Yuan Ding's brow. This was precisely the spot the enemy would have to defend, forcing Yuan Ding to turn his sword back to defend.
Despite the combined attacks of the Xuanmen swordsmen, Bo Xun remained unscathed, advancing and retreating with ease. He not only escaped unharmed but also repeatedly created killing opportunities for the two sects. Had it not been for their profound martial arts foundation, they would likely have been injured long ago.
Yuan Ding and Jing Chen were increasingly amazed as they fought, thinking that even with their combined strength, they couldn't defeat this fake Buddha, and were even forced into a fluster by his casual counterattacks.
Mara laughed heartily, "How could you rats possibly fathom the mysteries of the Five Supernatural Powers!"
He was in perfect harmony with his body and mind, and his every move was natural and effortless. He could not only anticipate his opponent's moves, but also make the best response at the most appropriate time. His exquisite physical skills left the two martial arts practitioners with no way to attack him.
Since we can anticipate the enemy's moves, we'll leave you with no way to dodge or predict the outcome! Although the two are incompatible according to their birth charts, they are fellow students and can understand each other's thoughts. They exchange a glance and immediately come up with a countermeasure.
Jingchen stepped forward with his feet in a powerful stance, pointing his sword in all directions. He formed an array by tapping the ground, drawing out the surging earth energy to create a prison-like confinement, attempting to restrict the false Buddha's movements. At the same time, Yuanding drew talismans with his knife, employing the Xuanzong Mind-Control Technique to interfere with Bo Xun's senses.
Bo Xun's body trembled slightly, but he remained calm. His eyes widened, and the highest level of the Five Supernatural Powers—the Body at Will Power—emerged in the mortal world. The Body at Will Power made him as light as a swallow and his mind as clear as a mirror, completely unaffected by the formation. With a stomp of his foot, a powerful force shook into the earth's veins. This was the Divine Foot Power of the Body at Will Power. As the name suggests, it means that one possesses powerful supernatural abilities under one's feet. With this stomp, he shattered the earth's energy trapping formation.
With a swift movement, Bo Xun moved like a ghost, incredibly fast, closing in like lightning and unleashing a series of kicks as fast as thunder. Yuan Ding and Jing Chen hurriedly protected themselves with their weapons, only to feel a powerful force emanating from their blades, causing their wrists to go numb and almost causing them to lose their grip on their divine weapons.
This state of perfect enlightenment is the most profound realm in Buddhism, possessing the ability to turn stone into gold, fire into water, fly freely, and manifest freely. Mara was in high spirits, defeating the two Taoist sects of Xuanmen in a sorry state.
Besides the ability to control the body at will, Mara also possesses the wondrous abilities of divine vision, divine hearing, and telepathy, enabling him to see in all directions, hear from all sides, and detect hostility. However, Jingchen and Yuanding have ways to counter these abilities. As for the spiritual abilities of sight and hearing, the two can use unique formations to interfere with them. As for telepathy, although it is somewhat troublesome, they can also deal with it using Taoist mental techniques such as the Emptiness and Tranquility of the Origin.
The most deadly thing is his ability to foresee fate. Not only can Mara see Yuan Ding and Jing Chen's next move in advance, but he can also see the future changes in the environment, so he can prepare in advance. He can not only intercept the opponent's killing move, but also calculate the next move and counterattack the enemy in coordination with the surrounding environment. In layman's terms, Mara is like having a regret pill.
Amidst the fierce battle, Yuan Ding sensed something amiss and noticed some clues. He thought to himself, "The false Buddha seems to possess the ability to foresee the future. It must be the Buddhist method of knowing one's destiny, using this mysterious technique to glimpse the future and thus target us!"
Jingchen also pondered, "It seems that this bald monk's ability to predict fate cannot be used all the time. Otherwise, he would have already seen through our army's movements and made preparations accordingly."
They exchanged a glance and instantly understood each other, using a roundabout approach to fight Mara in order to find the flaw in their ability to predict destiny.
The moment their thoughts stirred, Mara noticed and laughed, "You two heretics and Taoist priests, how could you possibly break through the power of destiny!"
Although Mara's ability to foresee the future can glimpse it, it also consumes a great deal of mental and physical energy. If he is not careful, he will be devoured by the secrets of heaven. Therefore, he can only see the future within fifty breaths each time. If he exceeds this range, he will suffer the consequences.
Bo Xun wouldn't allow them to see any flaws, so he continued to press forward, raising his Ruyi Tong and unleashing a palm strike. The palm strike was powerful and boundless, with countless variations hidden within its fierceness. Even Rao Jingchen and Yuan Ding, with their strong foundations, could not shake it. They were swept back more than ten steps by the palm strike, their blood and qi churning, and they suffered unspeakable pain.
Bo Xun unleashed his fists and feet, displaying the power of his magical weapons, and actually overwhelmed the two great innate masters of the Xuanmen sect.
In the face of life and death, honor and disgrace, rise and fall, at this critical moment, the two exchanged a glance and simultaneously understood each other's intentions—to set aside past grudges and truly join hands to fight the enemy! Jingchen shouted, "Qi Disperse Bagua!"
Yuan Ding replied, "My feet tread upon the eight gates!"
Swords clashed, producing a metallic clang. The two men, who were from the same school, instantly merged their energy, and the Taoist primordial power flowed endlessly throughout the heavens.
Bo Xun felt that the surrounding scenery had changed drastically. All he could see before him was the power of the Eight Trigrams, with heaven, earth, mountains, marshes, water, fire, wind, and thunder all emerging at once.
"What are these mere eight trigrams worth!"
Mara, wielding the six great magical artifacts with his body at will, unleashed his true energy, capable of uprooting mountains and rivers, attempting to forcefully break the divination. However, a mysterious force surged forth from all around, annihilating his counterattack.
When Bo Xun focused his mind, he saw that the surrounding scenery had changed again. Heaven and earth were now one, and it was impossible to distinguish between illusion and reality. The power of the Eight Trigrams had merged with this mysterious power. Even when Bo Xun used his three great supernatural powers—the Heavenly Eye, the Heavenly Ear, and the Mind Reader—he could not see through the mystery.
In his desperation, Mara disregarded the backlash of his supernatural powers and immediately activated his ability to see past lives to observe the situation. However, he found himself unable to do anything and could see nothing at all.
Yuan Ding stepped on the eight gates and set up an array. The Eight Gates Array was born. These eight gates are Open, Rest, Life, Death, Shock, Injury, Block, and View. Among them, Open, Rest, and Life are the three auspicious gates, Death, Shock, and Injury are the three inauspicious gates, and Block and View are the neutral gates. These auspicious, inauspicious, neutral, and neutral gates rise and fall, seemingly real and illusory. Combined with Jing Chen's Bagua Yuan Power, it is truly perfect and traceless, a unified whole.
As soon as the door opened, the Zhen Lei Gua (a hexagram representing thunder) appeared, and Mara was immediately struck by a thousand thunderbolts. The lightning bolts generated one, then two, then three, and so on, endlessly, containing countless variables. Even those with the ability to see through destiny were helpless, because Mara saw countless possible outcomes. Such a vast amount of information was beyond his grasp. The combination of the eight trigrams and the eight gates evolved into countless causes and effects, just like a vast universe.
Even if you can see the future, so what? The future of every living being and every grain of sand in the vast world is laid out before you. Can you grasp it? Similarly, Mara faced such a situation, unable to grasp it or know where to start. He was struck by lightning and his body was charred black. If it weren't for the holy Buddha's Dharma body protecting him, he would have been reduced to ashes long ago.
The opening hexagram is Thunder, followed immediately by Fire. Mara was plunged into a fiery inferno, his monk's robes were charred black, his eyebrows were burned off, and his life force seemed to have been evaporated.
波旬惊骇无比，急忙寻觅逃生之路，谁料慌乱之余竟踏入惊门之中，又引来了巽风卦的攻击，这次巽风卦却不单纯，风中藏水，水中蕴泽，波旬先是被烈风利刃刮得遍体鳞伤，然后再被滔天巨浪打得口吐朱红，最后还被沼泽缠住双足。
八门汇八卦，自太荒大战之后，净尘和元鼎这对生死对头竟施展出了趋于完整的先天绝卦，正是先天卦破五神通，玄门刀剑克伪佛，净尘元鼎败波旬。
趁着波旬陷入支拙境地，净尘一剑刺出，元鼎挥刀横削，顿时剑入心窝，刀封咽喉，伪佛顿溅漫天血红，颓然倒地。
联手毙敌，两人收回兵刃，对视了一眼，想起这些年来的明争暗斗，不由得心中思绪万千，百感交杂。
倏然，躺在地上的波旬嗖的一下便窜了起来，圣佛法身之妙处再度发挥，再配合五神通，竟令他再度复元，简直就像是没有受过伤一般。
元鼎不由大吃一惊，骂道：“贼秃驴，道爷这回就把你切成碎片，看你还怎么复活！”
净尘也抽出真武剑，准备再连招施展先天绝卦，波旬虽恢复过来，但也损耗了不少元气，再看双道摆出联手架势，心生怯意：“圣佛法身虽有复元之效，但也经不住这连番击杀，好汉不吃眼前亏，速退为妙！”
想到这里立即以身如意通撤离。
另一边，龙辉策动阴阳二气，左右合击，洛清妍挽起五凤心诀，妖艳起舞，逼得邪神佛身不住后退，但他有天穹妙法护体，再加上佛门修为，暂保不失。
龙辉凝聚烈阳元丹，熊熊阳火席卷而出，火舌绽放，化作吞天炎龙，洛清妍与其心意相通，凤凰灵火也随之烧起，两人连武合招，顿显龙凤并肩诛邪之局。
天令禅被炎龙火凤围在中间，若非他也有火性功体，早就被烧成焦炭了。
天令禅左掌斜推，右手捏印，竟是太极绵手和卍字佛轮，只见左边升起一个太极图卸开炎龙利牙，右侧转动卍字轮荡歪火凤爪，卸力之后，天令禅体内天穹妙法立即运转，迅速回补虚耗的真元，越斗气越长，内力充盈而不散，精神抖擞。
洛清妍娇喝一声，羊脂玉掌朝前推出，掌心蕴火，气压笼罩方圆十丈，要天令禅无处可躲，逼他与之硬拼。
天令禅寻思道：“妖妇又像跟我拼内力，然后让那小子趁机偷袭，岂能如你所愿。”
神渊在拼内力是被水灵缇斩下双臂，天令禅说什么也不敢再跟洛清妍斗根基，于是双掌轮转，舞出一个庞大的太极气团，正是天穹妙法中的卸力最高功法——九星挪移！只见九颗星辰以正反互逆之势运行，将凤凰灵火引卸开去，洛清妍掌风布下的气压消散无形。
洛清妍咦了一声，颇感有趣，于是便运起元古大力，再以刚硬掌势攻击。
天令禅手掌一挥，再运九星转势，元古大力被分解成了九份，随即他僧袍一抖，沛然妖力顿时撞向四周，在地上砸出九个大坑。
龙辉看得惊奇，于是试探地使了一招以虚化柔，这招本是天下柔劲的克星，但天令禅这九大星辰乃是以一个极快的速度旋转，看似以柔制刚的法门，但实际上星辰运转时产生的气流却是刚强无比，百试不爽的克柔之法顿而无功。
龙辉再吐真气，隔空吸来一根树枝，握在手中，使出沧海剑界，这一招是他从魏雪芯身上学来的，虽然无魏雪芯那般灵动的剑意，但在深厚的根基推动下，剑气锐不可当，好似千涛万浪卷来。
天令禅哈哈道：“区区海浪怎胜得过这星辰之威！”
话音方落，重施故技，九星运转荡沧海。
洛清妍娇叱一声，身上涌出黄色火焰，正是五凤心诀之黄焉舞天翔，她玉指凝华，信手一点，凤凰翎羽激射而出，化作无数剑芒，大范围地覆盖而去。
真龙折木为剑，妖凰指旋剑火，双剑合璧，锐芒逼杀，天令禅哼了一声，转动九星，绞散火剑，但洛清妍这一招不过是为后边打掩护，龙辉荡剑一变势，剑式采风纳气，先一剑刺入星辰间隙之中，然后施展御天借势，扰乱星辰运转，令这九颗星辰相互对碰，轰的一声，九星破碎，挪移之法顿时瓦解。
天令禅拂袖一摆，卷出一股星云热浪，龙辉不畏火势，张开双臂扑了过去。
这双臂一张便等同与卖出空门给敌人，天令禅大吃一惊，以为龙辉又在耍什么诡计要引自己上钩，于是便侧身躲开，先不同龙辉纠缠，谁知道龙辉借着他侧身的机会使了个擒拿手，啪的一声扣住了天令禅的手臂，随即来了个毒蛇缠身，顺势贴了上去，将他抱了满怀！天令禅不禁大惊，这般熊抱紧箍，他根本无从躲闪，他想都没想过龙辉会用这般古怪的招式缠住自己。
“不好，这小子要让那妖妇来偷袭我！”
天令禅生怕洛清妍偷袭，于是便扭动身躯，带着龙辉旋转起来，要洛清妍难以看清目标下手。
并在旋转过程中狂吐内力，将整个人变得跟烘炉一般，要逼龙辉松手，龙辉却是紧紧抱住，死不放手，天令禅只觉得元功莫名虚耗，好像是被一股强大的力量给抽吸走。
小贼在吸我的元功？天令禅顿时明白过来，于是把心一横，一股脑地将真气吐出，心想：“你若敢吸，吾便将你撑破！”
龙辉只觉恢弘无匹的热力不断冲入奇经百脉，仿佛像是抱着一块烧红的烙铁，但他不为所动，双手始终不松半分，继续催动吸元之法，不要命地吞噬天令禅的元功。
天令禅只觉得一阵气虚，心头惊愕：“我将真气全部送出，这小子怎么还像个没事人一样。”
他不知龙辉早已通过跟大小凤凰的双修强化了经脉骨骼，他的气脉容量甚至还远胜先天高手。
龙辉在抽吸天令禅元功的同时，还运起了虚空篇的武决——虚空噬神！此式此用过一次，那便是在铁壁关时，为保白翎羽性命而使，当时只有半身之力的龙辉就以此招逼得出洛清妍的原形，令其狼狈而逃。
如今修为大增之后，此招更是无以伦比，好似一个吞噬万物的黑洞，不断地侵蚀天令禅的精血元气。
天令禅脸色大变，怒骂道：“臭小子，老子就算不要这身皮囊，也不会让你如愿！”
一念及此，他引动体内丹鼎阳火，焚烧骨肉筋络，竟是一招丹鼎火种。
龙辉大叫不妙，但仍旧不松手，强催真元，不断吸纳邪神的佛之分身，转眼便吸取了大半精血元气，但也面临着火焚脏腑，破体而亡的危险。
佛之分身那充沛无比的精血元令得龙辉全身剧痛欲裂，似乎下一刻便要被胀破全身，而那随时都可能会爆发的丹鼎火种更是险中之险。
洛清妍心中焦急，不禁跺脚道：“龙儿，快些松手！”
龙辉恍若未闻，继续强吸天令禅的精血元气，天令禅身体不断枯萎，而龙辉身子也随着涨大，就像是被鼓满气的薄纸袋，随时都会有爆开的危险。
洛清妍赶紧追过去，要分开两人，却见一道白芒闪过，她心顿时跌倒了谷底，嗓子一涩，但白光转瞬即逝，这丹鼎火种似乎并未像当初沧子明那般猛烈。
白光散去，只见天令禅已经跌躺在地，全身枯萎，就像是一具干尸，而龙辉皮肤赤红，两眼翻白，嘴唇干裂，口鼻不断喷出热气，原来在丹鼎阳火爆发的瞬间，天令禅的元气已经被吸干，使得丹鼎火种没有燃烧的媒介，并未爆发出应有的威力。
饶是如此，但方才那道白光也令龙辉吃惊苦头，全身骨骼好似撕裂一般，剧痛无比，再加上体内不断翻涌的精血元气，龙辉已经处在生死边缘，一个不慎便会惨遭爆体身亡，死无全尸的下场。
“洛姐姐，快……快带我回金陵。”
龙辉勉强开口说话，“趁着我还能压制……”
话还没说完，哗啦喷出一口鲜血。
洛清妍咬了咬牙，立即扶着他飞起，由于大鹏金雕已经随鹭眀鸾支援丹郡，所以只得由她带龙辉回去，这飞行速度远不如金雕那般夸张。
龙辉不断咳血，几欲昏迷，但他仍然强忍剧痛，若是痛得意识模糊，他便咬舌刺激自己，若自己昏过去就无法压制这邪神佛身的精血，那时候自己死无全尸，就连扶着他的洛清妍也会遭破碎的血肉震伤。
回到金陵，洛清妍抚着龙辉迅速冲入魏剑鸣的屋子，魏剑鸣所在之地并未烟柳居，而是道门的一间特别屋子，这屋子布满了符咒和法器，乃是用来采集天地正阳之气来给魏剑鸣复元用的。
于秀婷和魏雪芯母女正好在其中，看到这状况不由吃了一大惊。
洛清妍来不及解释，急忙道：“快，快来帮忙！”
魏雪芯急忙过去搀扶，但一靠近就被一股热气逼开。
洛清妍也顾不上这些，几乎是拖着龙辉走到魏剑鸣身旁。
龙辉深吸了一口气，双手按住魏剑鸣的心坎和丹田，长吐一口浊气，便要将吸来的精血元气灌入。
但邪神佛身的精血元气何其充沛，就算是龙辉那等根基也难以消化，更别说是久病在床的魏剑鸣。
洛清妍急忙道：“龙儿，剑鸣身子虚弱，无法直接承受这邪神血气！”
龙辉喘着气道：“该，该如何做？”
洛清妍道：“必须以血引血，以气引气，藉此调和，只有这样才能发挥这精血元气的效果而不伤及病人。”
于秀婷看出这其中形式，于是也来不及细问所以然，便说道：“洛姐姐，该如何做你便直说吧，我们都听你的！”
洛清妍道：“既然这样，便先由龙儿跟秀婷你割腕放血，由我施针将你们的精血引入剑鸣体内，以此驾驭这股至阳至刚的精血元气。”
龙辉闻言用指甲划开手腕，逼出鲜血，于秀婷也挽起衣袖，露出雪白皓腕，同样割腕放血。
洛清妍取出金针，连封魏剑鸣数个穴道，然后在隔开魏剑鸣的数条大血管，奇怪的是伤口处并未出血，而是散出丝丝黑气，原来这几枚金针既是封闭血脉，又是逼出沉珂淤积的病气。
洛清妍玉指凝华，朝着两人流出的鲜血一点，以凤凰灵火提炼其血中精元，将此精元从魏剑鸣的伤口引入体内。
这邪神精血元气就如同一剂强猛的灵药，魏剑鸣那虚弱的身子根本无从承受，若当真草率使用，只会是虚不受补，一命呜呼。
所以要以温和之物去除药中烈性，于秀婷乃气骨血至亲，她的精血可以护住魏剑鸣的心脉，龙辉精血中的阳气纯正温和，不像邪神那般咄咄逼人，正好以此为药引，这两人的精血便汇入魏剑鸣体内，不断交缠，互补互生。
“好了，可以动手了！”
洛清妍朝龙辉点了点头，龙辉摁住魏剑鸣丹田和心坎，便将那几乎撑破自身的精血元气输入，魏剑鸣得于、龙二人的精血护持，身子祛瘀卸伤，将天令禅的精血元气一点点地吸收消化，很快脸色便生出一股红润，萎缩的骨肉也开始重新生长，手指脚趾有了知觉，微微颤动。
于秀婷喜极而泣，捂住芳唇颤声道：“太好了，太好了……”
话音未落，只闻咕咚一声，龙辉竟朝后跌去，一旁的魏雪芯吓得花容失色，一把扑过去扶住他。
魏雪芯只觉得龙辉气息虚弱无比，急得两眼通红，泫然欲泣：“大娘，大哥他……”
洛清妍把了把他脉像，叹道：“无妨，只是虚弱一阵子，让他好好休息吧。”魏雪芯含泪点头，跟洛清妍一同将龙辉带回龙府安置。
昏睡了两天两夜后，龙辉体内的元气渐渐恢复，但仍旧虚弱，他睁开眼时便看见楚婉冰趴在床沿睡着了，想来是陪夜后小盹片刻，龙辉心头一阵感激和温暖，便伸手轻抚她的秀发。
楚婉冰猛地睁开眼睛，哎呀一声，颇似惊喜地道：“小贼，你醒了，我给你倒杯水吧！”
说罢就递来一杯热水，看龙辉喝过后，又道：“你肚子饿不饿，我去给你煮些碎肉粥。”
龙辉摇了摇头，问道：“我昏了多久？”
楚婉冰道：“两天两夜，现在是第三天的傍晚。当时你不断发高烧，可把我吓坏了，幸好你挨过来了。”
龙辉叹道：“让冰儿担忧了，真是对不住。”
楚婉冰撅了撅小嘴，酸溜溜地道：“哼，亏人家还这么关心你，你去强吞那个邪神分身的精血元气都被跟人家事先打个招呼！只是告诉娘亲，偏心鬼！”
原来龙辉以自身为媒介，将邪神佛身的元气吸过来，便能保持元气不散，但这个过程也极为凶险，一个不慎便是碎体而亡，死无全尸，所以他并未张扬，只告诉了洛清妍一人，楚婉冰也是事后得知，当时就吓得花容失色，浑身哆嗦，得知龙辉没事后她才哇的一声哭出来。
龙辉理了理她腮边凌乱的秀发，问道：“这事还有谁知道？”
楚婉冰道：“除了娘亲外，也就只有我跟雪芯、二娘了，我怕其他姐妹也担心，所以就没将事情的凶险说出，只是说你在跟天令禅激战时损了真元，要好好休息。”
她顿了顿，嘀咕道：“臭小贼，四个人中我居然是最后一个知道的，厚此薄彼！”
确认龙辉安然后，小凤凰的醋坛子又打翻，十句话有九句是在吃醋，见这丫头一脸幽怨的模样，龙辉哭笑不得，一把将她抱住，温言哄劝，总算平复她的醋意。
楚婉冰倚在他怀里，妮声道：“小贼，以后你可不能再冒这种险了，好不好？”
龙辉紧紧抱住她，嗯了一声，道：“冰儿，放心吧，以后不会再有这种事了。”
楚婉冰哼道：“你每次都叫我放心，可每次都叫我担心。”
龙辉被她这一通埋怨弄得好生尴尬，但心里却知道这妮子也是爱极了自己，便打定注意以后绝不叫她担惊受怕。
小凤凰似乎放开了话匣子，不断嘟囔，句句都在埋汰龙辉不顾家，将自己置身危险之中，龙辉自知理亏不敢反驳，便由她继续唠叨，但心头还是涌起一股暖流。
龙辉问道：“冰儿，前线战事如何了？”
楚婉冰停住话语，道：“丹郡方面取胜，打退敌军，梁明跟孙德将追杀伏兵，斩敌八千，岳彪拦截偷袭金陵的敌军，也大获全胜，而齐桓等一众文臣也安然抵达金陵。”
龙辉问道：“那……那高鸿的事情呢？”
楚婉冰知道他想问什么，道：“我命人先给齐桓接风洗尘，然后安置住所……他们还要忙上一段时间，三五天内事情还不会传到师娘那儿，但时间一久恐怕就……”
穆馨儿对待高鸿便如亲生儿子，若她知道当初以胁迫威逼，玷污自身清白的人便是高鸿，恐怕她会因一时羞愧悲愤而寻短，想到这里，龙辉也是一阵头疼，不知如何将此残酷的真相告诉穆馨儿。
这时魏雪芯捧着一盆热水进来，想来是要给龙辉擦脸的，但看到龙辉醒来后，高兴得连盆子都掉在地上。
龙辉问道：“雪芯，剑鸣情况可好？”
魏雪芯点头道：“弟弟的元气已经开始活络，气血畅通了不少，好很多了。”龙辉翻身下床，将这对姐妹拉到床上，替她们盖好被子，说道：“我已经睡了几天了，身子酸痛，现在就出去走走，你们姐妹两好好补个觉，要是我回来没看到你们睡觉，小心家法伺候。”
小凤凰先是参与了一场激战，又不眠不休地照顾他，再加上要瞒住众姐妹，已是累得不轻，一躺在床上便昏沉沉睡去。
魏雪芯虽然不困，但看姐姐睡得香甜也受到感染，便也阖目养息。
安抚这对姐妹花后，龙辉独自一人走出府邸，心情甚是繁杂，对于高鸿之事他实在不知道该如何跟穆馨儿说，不知不觉竟走到了烟柳居，他有种想进去跟于秀婷倾诉的冲动，但还是硬生生忍住了。
在门外徘徊了片刻，他正欲转身离去，却见大门缓缓打开，里边步出一道婀娜倩影，于秀婷仍旧是一身缁衣墨裙，在与他眼神一接触便侧过头去。
龙辉随口笑道：“这么巧啊，婷儿！”
于秀婷脸色倏然一变，厉喝道：“住口，你叫什么！”
龙辉道：“按照赌约，我已经在三个月内寻来至阳至刚的精血元气，这一声婷儿还是叫得起吧！”
于秀婷粉面通红，眼眸急忙朝四周扫了一眼，幸亏此时附近没有外人，才稍稍松了一口气，转眼便将脸色绷紧，冷冷哼了一声，抬足便走不理会龙辉的疯话。
龙辉如今心烦意乱，但叫了这一声婷儿后，却是没来得一阵舒畅，憋闷心情舒缓了不少。
他不由自主地跟上去，问道：“婷儿，你要去何处？”
于秀婷脸颊烘热，喝道：“你奋不顾身地取来这精血元气，我很是感激你，但你能不能收敛几分，莫要在这般没脸没臊。”
Long Hui changed his question and asked, "How badly is Jianming injured?"
Yu Xiuting's expression softened slightly. She hummed in agreement and said, "He's much better now. With your essence and blood guiding him, that extremely fierce and intense energy has been neutralized, allowing his body to fully absorb this essence and blood energy."
Long Hui said, "If it weren't for Ting'er, your blood essence protecting his heart meridian, Jianming wouldn't have recovered so quickly. This is all thanks to the two of us."
These words seemed to have a hidden meaning, and Yu Xiuting felt a little awkward hearing them. Just as she was pondering, she heard Long Hui say, "Hehe, our blood has all been integrated into Jianming's body. Doesn't that count as being connected by blood?"
Yu Xiuting blushed, her face flushed with shyness. She glared at him fiercely, then turned and walked away. Long Hui followed behind her. Yu Xiuting cursed inwardly at how talkative the boy was, so she quickened her pace. Long Hui also sped up, and it eventually turned into a contest of lightness skills. People on the street only saw two shadows flash by, but no one was in sight. They all thought they had seen a ghost in broad daylight, and many people were so frightened that they hid at home.
Yu Xiuting ran to the lakeside and suddenly stopped. Long Hui found it strange and was about to ask her something when he heard Yu Xiuting asking a fisherman on the shore, "Boatman, do you have any fresh carp? Sell me one."
She was elegant and beautiful, and spoke with grace. When she came to sell fish, she was like a virtuous housewife, and the fishermen treated her with great respect.
An old fisherman said, "Madam, all the fresh fish we caught this morning were sold out before noon." Yu Xiuting looked slightly disappointed and said, "Not a single one left?"
The old fisherman said, "The wealthy families and restaurants in Jinling City come to buy fresh fish early in the morning, and they are sold out before noon. If you want to buy fish, Madam, come earlier tomorrow, and there will be fresh fish available then."
Yu Xiuting sighed in disappointment and was about to turn and leave when she heard Long Hui say, "Why wait until tomorrow for fresh fish? I'll go and catch a few today."
After saying this, he stuffed a few pieces of silver into the old fisherman's hand, asked him to lend him a fishing boat, and then prepared to pole his way out of the water.
Yu Xiuting scoffed, "Do you even know how to catch fish?"
Long Hui laughed and said, "Ting'er, if you want to know, come aboard the ship and you'll soon find out."
There were still many fishermen here. When Yu Xiuting saw him calling her Ting'er so casually, she was both ashamed and angry, and wished she could stab him into the water with a sword.
The old fisherman chuckled and said, "Sir, you were just trying to make your wife laugh. You are indeed a witty man."
Although Yu Xiuting was already pregnant with two children and was nearly forty, she possessed profound inner strength and natural beauty, making her look like a young woman in her twenties. The fishermen all mistakenly thought that she and Long Hui were a wealthy couple.
Upon hearing the old fisherman's words, Yu Xiuting's ears instantly flushed. If she turned around and left, she would be like a nagging wife trying to win over her husband. But if she boarded the boat, it would be even more awkward, leaving her in a dilemma.
"Ting'er, what are you standing there for on the shore? Come up here quickly!"
Long Hui saw through the fishermen's misunderstanding and was secretly delighted. He then waved to Yu Xiuting with a grin.
Yu Xiuting felt a surge of heat throughout her body and thought to herself, "If I continue to hesitate, that brat might say something even more outrageous. I'll board the ship, and if he dares to be disrespectful, I'll give him a few sword strikes. I don't believe I can't control this lecherous scoundrel who hasn't recovered his strength!"
But then I thought again and felt it was not right: "He was seriously injured while saving Jianming, so I will go easy on him and just press his pressure points."
With that thought in mind, Yu Xiuting lightly stepped onto the fishing boat.
Long Hui picked up the pole and pointed it towards the shore, and the boat immediately sailed more than two zhang away.
