The man is in love, and the woman is interested! The shopkeeper begins to ride the female knight!
They were currently hiding in a garden, which was built for this year's Lantern Festival. Although it had not yet been used, it was complete with artificial hills, pavilions, covered bridges, and flowing water.
And because it wouldn't open until before the Lantern Festival, there was no one inside. Just a short distance away, separated by a wall, was the street.
"Gently, gently!" Murong Die was afraid that the shopkeeper would torment her like that night.
So she grabbed the railing of the covered bridge with one hand and patted it behind her with the other, reminding him that this wasn't outside the city. She didn't want anyone to hear her shouting.
Fu Hai was actually quite shy, and felt that it would be really bad if someone overheard him.
On a sudden inspiration, he tore off the only remaining pink bodice on Butterfly Girl's body, ripped it open, and stuffed it into her mouth so that he wouldn't have to worry about her making a sound.
Wang Dou still had a large piece of cloth left, so he simply tore it into many strips, bound the heroine's hands and feet, and hung her up. That would solve the problem.
"Master, you also need to talk to Grandpa Fu and Grandma Fu in advance and ask them to come and help before the Lantern Festival. If you don't make arrangements in advance, they may be invited by other inns or restaurants first."
Fu Hai said, "Ah! Now that we're in the city, we should have gone to tell them. I completely forgot!"
Sister Qiu Ying glanced at him: "You were having too much fun with Miss Die, weren't you? You've forgotten all about important matters." Fu Hai said: "It's...it's alright!"
To be fair, he hasn't gone all out yet! He hasn't even used his ultimate strike yet.
Sister Qiu Ying said, "Alright, let Miss Lingyue or Miss Yuelan stay here tomorrow morning. I'll go into town to get some ingredients and then talk to the old couple."
Fu Hai said gratefully, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Qiu Ying."
He raised his head again, looking hopeful and expectant, and said, "If my book sells well at the Lantern Festival, it doesn't matter if business here is a little worse." He clenched his fist to encourage himself.
Sister Youying then presented it to him, saying, "Master! When you're out there, whatever you do, don't tell anyone that you wrote that book."
Fu Hai***
Five hundred miles northwest of Anjun County, there is Mingxiao Peak of Yucheng Mountain.
A woman of celestial beauty, dressed in simple white robes, sat in the auspicious posture within the pavilion. Outside, mist and clouds surged, creating an endlessly beautiful scene.
"Miss!" a maid in green asked from outside the door, "An County is about to hold its famous Lantern Festival."
"Xiuhui, Xiangmei, and several other girls plan to take a pleasure boat trip together. They asked if you would like to come with them?"
The woman in white was none other than Li Xianrui, the senior disciple of the Painting Immortal Pavilion on Jade City Mountain. She sat on the mat, her face naturally elegant, her eyebrows as beautiful as if they had been painted.
A confident smile played on her rosy lips: "I won't go. I should be able to break through to the sixth realm during those few days. Although the Lantern Festival in Anjun is famous, I'll always have a chance to see it in the future."
"Cultivation is still the most important thing."
The maid in green exclaimed happily, "Miss, are you about to break through to the middle grade?"
Although there is only one realm difference between the seventh and sixth realms, it is a huge difference between the lower and middle grades.
She knew that her daughter never spoke without certainty, and that her words at this moment clearly showed that she was full of confidence and that everything was going smoothly.
To be able to advance to the intermediate level at such a young age, her daughter truly deserves to be called the most famous talented woman in Jade City Mountain. Hearing Ya Nang's surprised voice, Li Xianrui remained calm.
Since she dared to say it, she must have absolute confidence and complete certainty.
She said casually, "I won't be going to the Lantern Festival in Anjun. But what about the Langyue Pavilion at Baoshuzhai in Anjun? Have they released any good books lately?"
The maid in green quickly said, "Speaking of which, Bao Shu Zhai has been heavily promoting a new book recently, which will be released during the Lantern Festival. It is said to be a rare masterpiece, and the title is 'Young Hero Ventures Through Heaven'."
“I know you enjoy reading, so I’ve already pre-ordered a book for you.” Li Xianrui calmly replied, “Young Master Hero’s Journey Through Heaven? That’s a rather vulgar title.”
"Bookstores always like to exaggerate their advertising, so it's unlikely that it's some vulgar and boring work that they're just making up claims to sell more."
The maid in green laughed and said, "How could that be? That's the Precious Bookstore! As you know, Madam Langyue has plenty of money. She opened the bookstore because she loves books."
"She personally wrote comments on this book, saying it's a masterpiece that she would definitely recommend to others after finishing it." Li Xianrui slightly pouted: "Oh, it's that good? Then I'd like to take a look first."
The maid in green said again, "But Miss is about to break through her cultivation level. How about we leave the book 'Young Hero's Adventures in Heaven' there for now, and I'll go get it after you break through?"
Li Xianwen said, "It's alright. It's just a popular novel anyway. You can go and get it after it's published over there."
She smiled, a hint of disdain in her eyes: "Could a mere novel possibly disturb my Dao heart?"
Chapter 53 Mingming, I feel like I'll never love again.
Fu Hai returned to the mountains and first took a walk around the mountainside in front of the mountain.
I didn't see Yue Lan, but I saw Ling Yue all alone, practicing her sword in front of her pavilion.
Fu Hai opened the character attribute panel and looked at it again, seeing that Ling Yue's Shattered Moon Sword was still at "Mastery". She also looked troubled.
He was already halfway to perfection that night, but it all collapsed just like that. He was helpless. "Lingyue," Fu Hai came to his junior sister's side, "Where's Yuelan?"
Song Lingyue wore a light turquoise overcoat dress with twelve colorful tassels tied at her waist. She stood gracefully, slender and beautiful. "She said that the Night Fragrance Heroine was all alone in the back mountain and looked pitiful, so she went to keep her company."
Song Lingyue raised her head, looked at her senior brother, and said softly, "Senior brother, most of the remaining weapons in the armory are starting to rust. I did some maintenance, but it probably won't be of much use."
Fu Hai said helplessly, "The better weapons were sold off years ago. These are the ones that were never going to sell anyway. We'll pick a few to keep and sell the rest to blacksmiths as scrap metal."
Song Lingyue hummed in agreement and came to his side, her delicate nose twitching slightly: "Senior brother has been gone for so long, you must have had a great time with Miss Die, right?" "No, not really!" "Why does junior sister say that too?"
"Really? Senior brother and Miss Butterfly must have spent a long time alone together." Song Lingyue took a slow breath next to her senior brother.
"No, that's all! I'm going to find Miss Xiaoye," Fu Hai said, glancing towards the back mountain. "There are some things I might need her help with." He walked through the flower bushes in front of the pavilion and headed towards the back mountain.
"Senior brother!" Junior sister Lingyue called softly from behind him.
Fu Hai turned around and saw his junior sister Lingyue standing there alone, looking at him with a melancholy expression. "What's wrong?" he asked softly.
“Although Ye Liuxiang is a good girl,” the girl’s eyes dimmed, “but next time, senior brother… could you please not choose such a strange girl?”
"Huh? Well... Okay!" Fu Hai nodded seriously. "I'll do my best."
Lingyue watched her senior brother's retreating figure heading towards the back mountain. The unease in her heart simply wouldn't dissipate.
That night, I listened to the young heroine shouting in that seductive voice, which sounded like she was dying and coming back to life, was so happy and alluring that she couldn't be happier.
She listened with great enthusiasm, secretly making secret calls, fantasizing about her senior's various actions, and imagining herself as that mysterious girl who was moaning with endless joy. But then she saw...
She wasn't a beauty at all, but she was, and the senior brother was genuinely treating someone else; it was all just my overthinking. This feeling of disillusionment was like believing you were floating on clouds, soaring through the mist, only to find yourself stuck in a quagmire, covered in mud. It turns out that paradise and hell really are just a thought away; beauty is beauty, and beauty is beauty.
She understood! She attained enlightenment!
I feel like I'll never love again!
How am I supposed to repair the Shattered Dream Blade now? *Sob*, Senior Brother, it's all your fault! Fu Hai walked along the road, then turned back to look at his junior sister, who was grieving alone in the distance. Is she alright?!
How about next time he's doing *that* with the heroine... he invites Lingyue along too, so she can listen in from the outside? Looking at his junior sister's dejected expression just now, he actually felt quite guilty.
Before even reaching the back of the mountain, in the low-lying area between the two peaks, amidst the dense forest, they heard voices. Fu Hai walked over.
Junior Sister Yue Lan and Ye Liu Xiang were indeed here. Xia Yue Lan was wearing a flowing, high-waisted dress.
Ye Liuxiang was no longer the dreamlike, beautiful yet fragile "delicate body" she had been the night before. Instead, she was wearing a pink trench coat that Yue Lan Dong Guan had worn, with even her skull covered by the hood. Seeing Fu Hai, Xia Yue Lan waved to him: "Senior brother, over here."
Fu Hai walked over and saw that Xiao Ye was no longer the naked, delicate girl he had been, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had just finished releasing himself inside the bound female warrior in the city.
But even a young man full of vigor and vitality like him couldn't handle constantly looking at such a delicate girl.
"Miss Xiaoye!" Fu Hai stepped forward. "Your injuries haven't healed yet, why are you out walking around?"
"Thank you for your help, young master," Xiao Ye said, clutching her trench coat tightly to cover her skeletal frame, and bowed slightly to him. "My injuries have been completely healed thanks to your treatment, young master."
"Although Yuepo was damaged, she has now awakened. If she cultivates and recuperates on her own, she will be able to recover her strength in just three months."
Xia Yuelan said, "Senior brother, I've spoken to Xiaoye. She can just stay in the mountains and treat this place as her home." Fu Hai breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Ah, that's good, that's good."
This means that he no longer needs to use his fingers to probe into Xiaoye's delicate body to treat her vital points, as he did last night.
That's simply unbearable!
If he were treated like that all night, he would swell up and explode, okay? Fortunately, we don't need to do that anymore!
Xiaoye looked up at him. She knew what he meant.
If she weren't not made of flesh and blood, she probably would have blushed immediately.
Even though she's like this now, she's still a virgin, a girl who's kept her chastity pure. She couldn't resist being seduced by a man with her legs spread like that.
While Yi Ta's healing methods were miraculously effective, they were also too strange and not something a normal young woman could withstand. Fortunately, she no longer needed to do that.
Xia Yuelan glanced at her senior brother, then at Xiao Ye, and realized the same thing.
She raised her head and tapped her cheek with her finger: "So, senior brother doesn't need to heal Xiaoye like he did last night, right?" She was quite curious about that kind of healing.
Xiaoye lowered her head and shyly hummed in agreement.
I have to say, seeing a girl in a trench coat, head bowed, making shy sounds, is quite unsettling. But let's get down to business.
Fu Hai then explained the current situation.
"In other words," Xia Yuelan exclaimed, "if we can't find the culprit beforehand, a group of children will be harmed by him without anyone knowing."
Death? And after that, he'll become even more difficult to deal with?
Fu Hai said: "That's right! But the problem is, if we can't find his weakness, the Six Doors and the Righteous Path won't dare to make a move."
"To ensure the smooth running of the Lantern Festival, once we take action, we must eradicate the Flying Flood Gang overnight, leaving no future trouble. But that thug is the biggest potential problem. If he escapes and retaliates during the Lantern Festival, it will be a real problem."
He looked at Ye Liuxiang: "Miss Ye, do you have any good ideas?"
Xiaoye looked up: "This... because he and I are both survivors of the Black Forest catastrophe ninety years ago, I do have the means to track his exact location."
“But it can only be done when one’s power is fully restored.” Xia Yuelan said, “Doesn’t that mean we have to wait three months?”
"Three months later, all those children will have been killed by him, right? Wouldn't that be too late? And by then he'll be even more powerful, what will we do then?" She grabbed Xiaoye's hand: "That won't do, we can't wait that long. Xiaoye, if my senior brother helps you like he did last night, how long will it take you to..."
To restore one's strength?
Xiaoye said, "In that case, it should only take a few days, but..."
Xia Yuelan breathed a sigh of relief: "A few days should be enough. Then there's no problem, okay?"
"Senior brother, continue healing Xiaoye tonight. Make sure she recovers her strength quickly." Fu Hai and Xiaoye: "Desire?"
Chapter 54 He really is a genius!
