When Qi Fei returned to Tingzhu Garden, a palace maid saw him and couldn’t help but say, “Oh, Prince Qi, you seem to have lost a lot of weight in the past few days. Have you not been eating enough?”

Qi Fei was taken aback upon hearing this. He thought to himself that Feng Liyao was indeed a rare beauty. He had been passionately entangled with her for many days, which not only exhausted his energy but also caused him to forget to eat on time. He had lost weight without realizing it. His body was already lean, and now that he had lost even more weight, he looked even shorter and felt much weaker.

Immediately, Qi Fei instructed the palace maids to prepare nourishing foods such as wolfberries, codonopsis, astragalus, and polygonatum, and to make chicken soup and pork rib soup. After two or three days of continuous nourishment, coupled with his daily practice of internal energy cultivation, he finally recovered to his previous state.

That morning, Qi Fei couldn’t resist the urge to find Feng Liyao to taste the forbidden fruit again. However, when he arrived at the entrance of Kunning Palace and asked, he learned that Feng Liyao was discussing matters with everyone in the main hall. So he went straight to the main hall.

Upon arriving at the main hall, they indeed saw Feng Liyao sitting on the purple-gold phoenix chair, discussing matters with the court officials.

There were about a dozen people standing or sitting below.

Qi Tingqin, Yan Youruo, Raozhirou and Yao Youwei, as well as Fang Huaxian, Yu Youyang and Ji Qiujun, these core figures, and several civil officials of Kun Kingdom.

Feng Liyao rested her chin lightly on her hand, lounging on the phoenix chair, her clear and melodious voice emanating from her lips: “Behind the Great Xia Dynasty lies the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Demons. Now that the Great Xia Dynasty has been restored, the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Demons will surely return with a vengeance. Those demons are not comparable to the incompetent fools of the Great Xia Dynasty. You must all be on guard…”

Qi Fei entered the main hall excitedly, and just as he was about to call out to someone, he was startled by the cold look Yan Youruo gave him and quickly stopped talking.

Qi Tingqin sat in the chair, gestured for him to be quiet, and beckoned to him. After Qi Fei walked over, Qi Tingqin took his hand and made him stand beside her to listen.

At this moment, Fang Huaxian asked, “I have heard the legends of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends since I was a child, but I don’t know how terrifying these demons are. Why can’t they be killed?”

Feng Liyao slowly said, “You are unaware of what has happened. In the beginning of time, the spiritual energy was extremely abundant. At that time, countless races existed, fighting and killing each other to determine strength, weakness, nobility, and baseness. Later, the races reached a consensus and created the Three Realms: the Immortal Realm, the Human Realm, and Hell. Those who cultivated immortality entered the Immortal Realm to rule over all races, while the souls of the dead were placed under the jurisdiction of Hell, suppressed by powerful beings. In this way, the order of the world was established. In reality, only the Human Realm truly exists. The Immortal Realm and Hell were merely created by those who had achieved great cultivation among the ancient races. They can only continue to exist if they receive offerings from the Human Realm; otherwise, they will perish over time.”

Everyone listened intently, knowing that these were worldly secrets unknown to ordinary people.

“The Immortal Realm and Hell are two extreme worlds. The former is a paradise on earth, while the latter is a harsh environment. As a result, the beings that suppress Hell gradually became dissatisfied with the immortals and gods of the Immortal Realm. These are the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Demons! These demons attacked the Immortal Realm many times, but were defeated by various races. Later, they went to the mortal world to cause trouble, and the Immortal Realm had to send powerful beings to suppress them again. However, to go to the mortal world, one must be reincarnated, because in both the Immortal Realm and Hell, only the primordial spirit can exist. Only the mortal world is real and can have a physical body. Later, the Immortal Realm discovered that after immortals and gods are reincarnated, they forget their memories and have to start all over again. Although they are more talented than ordinary people after reincarnation, there is a great risk. Each reincarnation consumes the power of the primordial spirit. If one is reincarnated many times, the primordial spirit will be destroyed, and one will fall into the mortal world. After death, one will become a ghost and can only suffer in Hell, and will never be able to return to the Immortal Realm.”

Fang Huaxian hurriedly asked, “Then why don’t the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Demons perish?”

Feng Liyao said, “This is because the demonic arts they cultivate are born of heaven and earth, enabling them to achieve immortality of their primordial spirit. Only the Four Great Arts in the world can compare to them. In ancient times, spiritual energy was abundant. Even if one did not cultivate the Four Great Arts, as long as one had good aptitude and put in a little effort, it was easy to achieve immortality and ascend to heaven with one’s primordial spirit. In later generations, spiritual energy has become scarce. Our Qiankun Continent has degenerated from a world of immortals and heroes to a world of martial arts heroes. Now there are no more miracles, and we can only rely on martial arts to travel the world.”

“This ‘Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Demonic Art’ is actually so powerful?” Everyone exclaimed in amazement.

Feng Liyao said, “In the ancient times, three true scriptures were born from heaven and earth: the *Dutian Shensha*, the *Wuzi Tianshu*, and the *Dou Zhan Shen Jue*. The techniques recorded in these three scriptures are mutually reinforcing and restraining; mastering any one of them makes one invincible. The *Dutian Shensha* later became the *Tiangang Disha Mo Gong*. Based on their different understandings, the four predecessors, Daozu, Buddha, Xihe, and Changxi, respectively comprehended four extraordinary techniques from the *Wuzi Tianshu*, which were passed down to later generations. Among them is our Feng clan’s *Mingyue Feihuang*…”

“What about the ‘Battle God Technique’?”

“As for the ‘Battle God Technique’…” Feng Liyao’s beautiful eyes flashed, and she pursed her lips, “It was obtained by a fool. This person was simple-minded and had no ambition. Later, he was invited by the Immortal Emperor and given the empty title of ‘equal to the heavens’, and became a henchman of the Immortal Realm.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Fei immediately laughed and said, “That fool is really stupid! If it were me, I would definitely fight my way through the Three Realms and force the Immortal Emperor to abdicate!”

Feng Liyao glanced at him and nodded in agreement: “He is quite stupid.”

Qi Tingqin, Yan Youruo, and Raozhirou all turned their gazes toward Qi Fei with strange expressions.

Yu Youyang frowned slightly: “If these demons can be killed and then reincarnated, awaken their memories, and remain strong, that would be a real headache.”

Feng Liyao said, “It’s not that there’s no way to deal with it. There are three true scriptures born from heaven and earth. If you cultivate any one of them, your primordial spirit will be immortal. If two people who have cultivated two of the true scriptures join forces to deal with someone who has cultivated one of the true scriptures, they can shatter that person’s primordial spirit, making it impossible for them to reincarnate!”

Ji Qiujun said, “That’s too difficult. The Feng Clan’s ‘Bright Moon Flying Phoenix’ only barely managed to occupy one of the true scriptures. To completely eliminate the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Demons, wouldn’t we have to find that fool and join forces with him?”

“That’s right.” Feng Liyao smiled slightly. “You don’t need to worry about this matter. Just be wary of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends. If you encounter them in the future, you must not be careless.”

At this point, her expression turned serious: “The Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Demonic Art corresponds to the ultimate of all things in the world, with a total of 108 transformations. Each transformation can only fall on one person, so there are 108 demons. When each demon cultivates this art and reaches the highest level, he will develop a unique and extremely powerful ability. For example, the Demon Lord Jiang Yuangong, the leader of the 72 Earthly Fiends, has the ability of having ‘three heads and six arms.’ If you encounter this person in the future, run away if you can, and never linger in battle.”

“Don’t be afraid, I, Qi the Great Hero, am invincible. I will beat him to a pulp…” Qi Fei had barely opened his mouth when Qi Tingqin covered his mouth.

Next, Feng Liyao discussed strategies for dealing with the Great Xia Dynasty with the court officials, and then announced the adjournment of the court.

By this time, Qi Fei was already drowsy from listening, and couldn’t wait to find Feng Liyao to enjoy their intimate moments. Seeing Feng Liyao get off the phoenix chair, he raised his foot to greet her, calling out, “Mother…”

Unexpectedly, Feng Liyao simply nodded and then left.

Qi Fei looked puzzled. Qi Tingqin stood up and said to him, “Didn’t you hear what I asked you to do just now?”

“Do something? What do you mean, do something? I didn’t hear you!” Qi Fei looked completely bewildered.

Qi Tingqin shook her head helplessly and said, “The weather is unusual this winter. It has been snowing in our palace for several days in a row. Your mother wants you to supervise the soldiers in clearing the snow. You must not slack off. You are not allowed to enter Kunning Palace until the snow is cleared. Do you understand?”

“Huh? This…” Qi Fei was stunned upon hearing this. He, the great hero Qi, had never done anything serious in the palace before, and he really didn’t know where to begin.

Seeing Qi Tingqin turn and leave, Qi Fei suddenly felt isolated and helpless. At this moment, Fang Huaxian beckoned to him with her finger. After Qi Fei walked over, Fang Huaxian smiled and said, “What’s wrong? A small matter has stumped you?”

Qi Fei said with difficulty, “Sister Fang, look how much snow is piled up in the palace. Even if all the soldiers work together, it won’t be cleared in a few days. Besides, it snows every day, so we have to shovel snow every day. When can I go to Kunning Palace then…”

Fang Huaxian patted his shoulder and laughed, “What else could possibly stump you, Master Qi?”

“Although I, Qi the Great Hero, am invincible, I really can’t do such trivial things…” Qi Fei hugged her long, black-stockinged legs, looking utterly dejected.

The two walked to the entrance of the main hall and saw that the huge square was covered in white. Qi Fei became even more depressed.

Fang Huaxian stroked her chin, her beautiful eyes flashing, and said, “Indeed, the weather is abnormal these days, it snows every day, and it will probably be springtime before the snow is cleared… Rather than that, it’s better to wait until spring arrives and let it melt on its own.”

Qi Fei thought this made sense. If he couldn’t go see Feng Liyao for a while, this winter would be really boring. Feng Liyao might even scold him for not doing any work.

Fang Huaxian said, “How about this? I’m going back to the Five Immortals Sect anyway, so you can come back with me. Our Five Immortals Sect is warm in winter and cool in summer, so you can spend the winter there. What do you think?”

Qi Fei hesitated and said, “If I don’t do this mission, won’t my mother scold me?”

Fang Huaxian patted his shoulder and laughed, “Don’t worry, I’ll put in a good word for you. I’ll just say that our Five Immortals Sect has an important matter that requires your help, and Her Majesty the Empress will definitely agree.”

Qi Fei’s eyes lit up: “Sister Fang, you’re so kind!”

“Hehe, now you know how good I am, right?” Fang Huaxian put her arm around his short stature and walked down the steps.

A luxurious four-wheeled carriage stopped at the bottom of the steps. The carriage was driven by the Fu Guang Lue Ying sisters. When they saw Qi Fei and Fang Hua Xian coming, they quickly lifted the curtain and invited them in.

Qi Fei asked, “Shall we leave now?”

“Yes,” Fang Huaxian said.

“I’m going to get the Panlong Sword!” Qi Fei always carries a weapon when he goes out. Every time he ventures into the martial world, the Panlong Sword is always with him. It’s not that he relies on the weapon to fight, but it’s purely a psychological need, like having his most loyal companion with him.

After taking the Panlong Sword and packing a few changes of clothes, Qi Fei followed Fang Huaxian into the carriage, which slowly drove out of the palace gate.

The carriage was luxuriously decorated, with blankets and quilts to keep it warm. Qi Fei and Fang Huaxian both had internal energy protecting them, so they were dressed very lightly. Fang Huaxian wore a black gauze dress with a pair of long, slender legs in black stockings under her short skirt, while Qi Fei wore underwear and a light blue long robe, which made him look rather thin.

The two sat inside the carriage. Qi Fei rested his head in Fang Huaxian’s arms, his groping hand roaming over her black-stockinged legs, savoring the wonderful sensation.

Fang Huaxian gently hugged Qi Fei, glanced at him with her slender, beautiful eyes, and said, “Fei’er, besides the ‘Sun and Moon Divine Skill,’ what other martial arts do you know?”

Qi Fei nuzzled his head against her breasts, clearly feeling their softness and warmth through the thin fabric. He said, “There’s also the ‘Taihe Gong’ and the ‘Panlong Eighteen Swords,’ the Diancang Sect’s ultimate techniques, quite powerful…”

“Is there nothing else?” Fang Huaxian’s eyes flashed.

“No! I did obtain the ‘Wuwei Dao Scroll’ and the ‘Cihang Zhenjing,’ but I never practiced them; I gave them to my godmother and the others…”

“Think about it again?” Fang Huaxian stared at him expectantly.

“There really isn’t any more. There are also the martial arts my aunt taught me, like the Turtle Breathing Technique, the Flexibility Technique, the Bone Shrinking Technique, and the Meridian Shifting Technique…” Qi Fei thought for a moment and then summarized.

“Hmm…” Fang Huaxian withdrew her gaze, “Not bad, not bad, this level of martial arts is enough to make a living in the martial world.”

“Of course, my martial arts are the best in the world… I want to nurse!” Qi Fei rubbed his head against Fang Huaxian’s chest.

Fang Huaxian lifted her clothes, revealing her snow-white breasts from under her bodice. Her pink nipples and snow-white breasts looked full and round, extremely alluring.

She held the bottom of her breast with one hand and brought it to Qi Fei’s mouth.

Qi Fei immediately opened his mouth and took the tender red nipple into his mouth, sucking it loudly.

Fang Huaxian stroked Qi Fei’s head with one hand and reached down to his crotch with the other, grasping his penis through his pants. She felt it was hard and hot, truly a durable and good thing.

Fang Huaxian recalled the scene of Qi Fei pressing down on her and thrusting his body when they were in the deserted village of Fengzhou last time, especially the pleasure of his big meat stick piercing her flesh hole. She felt her heart flutter and a hot flow gushed out of her little hole.

She glanced outside and asked, “Fleeting Glimpse, where are we?”

Fu Guang’s voice came in: “Master, we’ll be at Kunde Academy soon.”

Fang Huaxian thought to herself, “I still have to go to Kunde Academy. Maybe I should play later.”

So she put aside her romantic thoughts and said, “Fei’er, let’s have lunch at Kunde Academy first, and then go to the Five Immortals Sect.”

“Oh, okay… chu chu…” Qi Fei responded indistinctly, continuing to suckle Fang Huaxian’s nipple.

His sucking sent waves of pleasure through Fang Huaxian, making her body go limp, and she let out soft moans as her eyes became glazed over.

After a moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Fu Guang’s voice came in again: “Master, we have arrived.”

Fang Huaxian snapped out of her daze, patted Qi Fei on the shoulder, and said, “Fei’er, get out of the car.”

“Oh.” Qi Fei reluctantly raised his head, and the pink nipple slipped out of his mouth.

Fang Huaxian got dressed and got off the carriage with Qi Fei.

Qi Fei found the carriage stopped in front of a memorial archway with the four large characters “Kunde Academy” written on it. On the pillars on both sides were the couplets: “As heaven’s movement is ever vigorous, so should a gentleman constantly strive for self-improvement; as earth’s condition is receptive, so should a gentleman cultivate virtue and bear all things with magnanimity.” In the middle was a wide bluestone road. Following this road, there were many buildings. The largest building in the middle was almost built like a palace. There were also many exquisite residences scattered around it, covering a very large area. This was Kunde Academy, the largest and most famous academy in Kun Kingdom, which was dedicated to cultivating talents for the Kun Kingdom’s court.

Qi Fei had heard of the great name of Kunde Academy, but had never been there before. This was a good opportunity for him to broaden his horizons.

“Greetings, Master Fang!”

Several guards stood watch at the entrance; they appeared quite robust, but were merely ordinary skilled fighters in the martial arts world. Upon seeing Fang Huaxian and her group arrive, one of the guards immediately went inside to report.

Fang Huaxian didn’t wait any longer and led the group directly into the academy.

On the road, I saw servants clearing snow from the road, and occasionally a north wind blew by, bringing with it a chill.

The servants sweeping the snow were secretly astonished to see Qi Fei and Fang Huaxian dressed so lightly, knowing they were important figures they couldn’t afford to offend, and they all bowed and made way for them.

Before long, after climbing the steps, several women came out from the main building of the academy. Among them were several old women wearing headscarves, several women wearing long gowns, and two beautiful young women.

Qi Fei’s eyes lit up, and he immediately recognized the two beautiful women as the two hall masters of the Five Immortals Sect. One of them was a beautiful woman with a smile in her eyes, who seemed to be seducing people. She was Mei Yun, the hall master of the White Tiger Hall. The other was a tall and slender woman, Nian Yu, the hall master of the Vermilion Bird Hall. Both of them were dressed similarly to Fang Huaxian, wearing black gauze dresses, thick black stockings on their legs, and blue and white patterned cloud shoes on their feet.

“Master Qi…” Mei Yun winked at Qi Fei.

“Hero Qi, how have you been?” Nianyu stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

Qi Fei quickly greeted them, “Hello, both of you sisters!”

At this moment, one of the old women, leaning on a cane, stepped forward, bowed, and said, “Greetings, Master Fang…”

Fang Huaxian said, “Dean, there’s no need for such formalities. This is His Highness Prince Qi.” She pointed to Qi Fei.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Qi Fei. The old woman took the lead, bowed, and said, “Greetings, Your Highness Prince Qi!”

Qi Fei waved his hand and said, “No need to say too much, I’m hungry!”

Everyone smiled, and the dean said, “His Highness Prince Qi has the heart of a child, which is truly commendable. Don’t worry, the food will be ready soon. I’ll take our distinguished guests for a stroll around the area first.”

“Very well,” Fang Huaxian said. “Let me see how the children are doing with their studies.”

“Please.” The old woman invited everyone inside.

Fang Huaxian stepped inside, and Qi Fei followed behind her, joining them in touring the academy.
