Chapter 198

Along the way, Li Yuyao and Wang Wanru chatted non-stop, exchanging their experiences over the past few months. Qi Fei and the Snow Mountain Goddess listened attentively, and when they heard Li Yuyao’s story, they were amazed and speechless for a while.

　　Li Yuyao actually encountered Jiang Yuangong, recognized him as her godfather, and learned the “Dutian Shensha” technique… Qi Fei felt it was utterly absurd, even more absurd than when he encountered the Blood Tiger in the valley and broke through to the Heavenly Realm.

　　Qi Fei was initially worried that this might be a conspiracy, but after hearing Li Yuyao say how good Jiang Yuangong was to her and that he hadn’t restricted her freedom, he felt much more at ease.

　　They soon entered the territory of the Kun Kingdom, and there were no further setbacks on the road. The four of them rode swiftly all the way and finally returned to the capital of the Kun Kingdom three days later.

　　The guards at the palace gate were overjoyed to see Qi Fei and Li Yuyao riding in, and quickly arranged for someone to go in and register them.

　　”Welcome back to the palace, Your Highness Prince Qi!”

　　The guards stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Qi Fei and his companions.

　　Qi Fei waved his hand and said, “You should call me ‘Hero Qi’. Didn’t I tell you my nickname, Hero Qi? Come on, say it to me!”

　　”The invincible hero Qi!” the guards shouted in unison.

　　”That’s right!”

　　Qi Fei nodded in satisfaction, and together with Li Yuyao, Snow Mountain Nun, and Wang Wanru, without dismounting or observing any rules or etiquette, they galloped directly into the palace.

　　The people in the palace had already received the news. Raozhirou and Yao Youwei led a group of palace maids to stand at the entrance of the main hall to greet them.

　　”Fourth Aunt!” Qi Fei leaped up and landed in front of Rao Zhirou.

　　”You’re back.” Rao Zhirou smiled gently, embracing Qi Fei tenderly, her fair hands stroking his head.

　　Yao Youwei stepped forward and said to the Snow Mountain Nun, “It is truly a great event to celebrate that Senior Nun has come to Kun Kingdom.” Before Qi Fei and the others returned, Fang Huaxian had already sent a message back by carrier pigeon, so the Kun Kingdom’s royal palace already knew about Qi Fei and the others’ situation.

　　”I wouldn’t dare,” the Snow Mountain Nun said modestly.

　　“Come on, I’ll take you to where we live…” Li Yuyao took Wang Wanru’s hand and headed straight for Wenlan Garden.

　　“Aunt, let me tell you, this trip was fraught with hardship. Not only did I bring Princess Wanru back, but I also broke through to the Heavenly Realm. I, the Great Hero Qi, am now truly invincible…”

　　”Really? That’s amazing?” Rao Zhirou patted Qi Fei’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Look at you, all dirty. Go take a shower first.”

　　”Um!”

　　Qi Fei followed Rao Zhirou toward the Jade Pool behind the Kunning Palace…

　　The sound of splashing water rang out in the Jade Pool. Qi Fei stripped off his clothes and jumped into the bath. Like a nimble fish, he swam around in the water before popping his head up and quickly rinsing off the sweat.

　　A group of palace maids stood around, all of them young girls, dressed in pale yellow gauze dresses, their tender flesh barely visible beneath, ready to obey orders at any moment.

　　Just as Rao Zhirou was about to leave, Qi Fei waved to her: “Auntie, come down too!”

　　With a flash of her beautiful eyes, she unbuttoned her dress, took off her bra and panties, and gently entered the water. Qi Fei saw her graceful figure and fair skin, and immediately pounced on her, embracing her and kissing her pretty face repeatedly.

　　Rao Zhirou held Qi Fei with one arm, feeling his penis pressing against her vulva. She parted her legs slightly, and couldn’t help but moan as his penis entered her vagina.

　　Qi Fei wasn’t in a hurry to thrust; he simply held the beauty in his arms, sucking on her nipples and gazing into her beautiful eyes, never tiring of the sight.

　　Rao Zhirou felt the hot, hard thing inside her. Even though it didn’t move much, it still brought waves of stimulation. She held Qi Fei’s head and gently stroked it, and said with a soft laugh, “Fei’er, what have you been through these past few days? Tell me in detail.”

　　”I’ve been through a lot, it’s been incredibly thrilling!” Qi Fei recounted his experiences over the past few months to Rao Zhi Rou in detail.

　　From the moment he fought Xia Yushu and the others, along with Wang Wanru and the Snow Mountain Nun, they fell into the Blood Tiger Pool, entered the Blood Tiger Valley, accomplished a great feat, cultivated divine skills, killed the Blood Tiger, broke through to the Heavenly Realm, and finally flew out of the valley with Wang Wanru, the Snow Mountain Nun, and Sisi, and then encountered Li Yuyao on the road… Rao Zhirou listened and laughed, “It was indeed thrilling, but your treatment of the Snow Mountain Nun was somewhat disrespectful.”

　　Qi Fei said, “I didn’t… She carried me out of the cave, took off her clothes, and that was all I could do… She was really horny!”

　　”Is that so?” Rao Zhirou chuckled softly, pressing Qi Fei’s head against her soft breasts.

　　”Yes, um…” Qi Fei took one of her pink buds into his mouth and sucked hard. It was so tender that it seemed to melt in his mouth.

　　”Where’s my mother?” Qi Fei asked, looking up after taking a breath.

　　With a gentle, lingering voice, she said, “She… um, is in her bedchamber.”

　　”I want to sleep with my mother tonight!”

　　”No, you’ll sleep with me tonight.”

　　”Why?”

　　”because…………”

　　She whispered a few words in his ear.

　　Qi Fei was stunned when he heard this: “What? There’s such a thing?”

　　With a gentle smile, she said, “It’s all thanks to you. Besides, your godmother Li and your sister Xiangxiang are both pregnant.”

　　Qi Fei was stunned for a moment, then said, “Then I must go see my mother!”

　　”You can look, but you can’t do anything reckless.”

　　”Okay…” Qi Fei readily agreed. He really didn’t expect that Feng Liyao, Li Huiyu, and Shen Xiangxiang would actually get pregnant, and it seemed that they got pregnant around the same time. They must have gotten pregnant last winter, but they only felt it this spring. Now it’s late summer, so they’ve been pregnant for half a year. They will give birth by autumn or winter at the latest.

　　This is a very big deal.

　　Upon learning of this, Qi Fei suddenly became somewhat absent-minded. He was completely unprepared for such a situation and had no idea how to handle it. He was almost seventeen years old but still had the mind of a teenager and had never thought about taking on any major responsibilities. This was also because he had the backing and support of Qiang Tian, ​​and was spoiled by Feng Liyao, Rao Zhirou, Li Huiyu, and others.

　　Rao Zhirou knew exactly what he was thinking. She patted Qi Fei’s bottom and said, “You’re going to be a father soon, so you’d better be more sensible from now on.”

　　”I understand…” Qi Fei hugged the beauty’s round, fleshy buttocks and began to thrust vigorously, the “slap slap slap” sounds of flesh colliding echoing in the bathtub.

　　Under his manipulation, Rao Zhi Rou let out a series of moans and soon reached orgasm, almost collapsing in the bathtub.

　　After a brief moment of tenderness, the two stepped out of the bath. The palace maids who were guarding the bath immediately came forward and helped them put on their clothes.

　　Rao Zhirou wore a deep yellow palace dress, looking elegant, noble, dignified and beautiful. Qi Fei, on the other hand, wore a blue robe, which made him look somewhat scholarly. The two, one tall and one short, looked like a mother and son.

　　Rao Zhirou took Qi Fei’s hand and led him back to Kunning Palace.

　　Upon entering, I saw Feng Liyao and Qi Tingqin sitting face to face. One was dressed in a purple and gold phoenix robe, and the other in a phoenix-patterned gauze dress. Both were stunning beauties. The two beauties sitting together were even more charming and radiant. However, Qi Tingqin wore a transparent veil over her face.

　　The two were drinking tea and playing chess. The chessboard on the table was covered with a large number of black and white pieces. Qi Fei knew nothing about chess, but he rushed forward and shouted, “Mom, I’m back!”

　　Feng Liyao glanced at him, nodded, and said calmly, “Okay.”

　　Qi Fei patted Feng Liyao from behind, and a delicate fragrance wafted over. He took a deep sniff, then looked at Qi Tingqin opposite him and said, “Second Aunt!”

　　Qi Tingqin smiled and nodded at him, then picked up a white piece and placed it on the chessboard.

　　Qi Fei looked at the chessboard, feeling a bit bored. He held Feng Liyao in his arms and stroked her lower abdomen with both hands. Sure enough, he felt her round belly, which seemed to be pulsating with life.

　　Qi Fei stroked Feng Liyao’s lower abdomen and asked, “Mother, is the baby inside… a little brother or a little sister?”

　　Feng Liyao glanced at him but did not answer.

　　Qi Tingqin laughed and said, “What you should be asking is, is this a son or a daughter?” This relationship is really complicated.

　　Rao Zhirou walked over carrying a teapot. After hearing this, she couldn’t help but giggle and said, “Don’t make things difficult for this boy; he’s not grown up yet.”

　　Just then, a voice came from outside the door: “If he’s like this before he’s even grown up, what will he be like when he grows up?”

　　The group turned their heads and saw a woman in a black gauze dress walking in gracefully. Her face was covered with a transparent veil, which could not conceal her stunning beauty; it was more of an adornment that added to her mystique.

　　With ample breasts and hips, long legs, and a beautiful but aloof face, she was none other than Yan Youruo.

　　”Third Aunt!” Qi Fei called out.

　　Yan Youruo stepped forward, gently pinched Qi Fei’s ear, and said, “Where have you been causing trouble these past few months? Why don’t you tell us the truth?”

　　The fragrant breeze was intoxicating, and Qi Fei said somewhat intoxicatedly, “What do you mean… I brought my wife Wang Wanru back!”

　　”You deserve credit this time.” Yan Youruo released her hand from his ear and pinched his nose again.

　　Qi Fei grabbed the beauty and hugged her tightly, his head barely reaching her breasts. He shamelessly laughed and said, “Third Aunt, I’ve missed you so much these past few months!”

　　Yan Youruo blushed slightly, gently pushed him away, and said, “You’re such a chatterbox. Go to Guanmei Garden and see your godmother and the others.”

　　”No, I want to sleep with my mother tonight!”

　　”no.”

　　”I don’t…………”

　　”Then come over again tonight.”

　　”good!”

　　Qi Fei was overjoyed upon hearing this, and then released Yan Youruo, ran out of Kunning Palace, and headed towards Wenlan Garden.

　　Feng Liyao and the others watched Qi Fei’s departing figure before turning their gaze away.

　　Yan Youruo’s face lit up with joy as she said, “I didn’t expect this kid to actually break through to the Heavenly Realm. This is great, our strength has increased significantly!”

　　Feng Liyao rested her chin on her hand, her eyes sparkling, and said, “It’s not wise to be too happy yet. I estimate that the number of Heavenly Realm experts in Great Xia is far more than just Jiang Yuangong. Perhaps other demons will appear one after another soon.”

　　Qi Tingqin said, “Now that Wanru has returned, once they have mastered the ‘Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens,’ it will mean that we have three Heavenly Realm experts on our side, which should be able to stabilize the situation for the time being.”

　　Feng Liyao touched her protruding belly and said, “Try to avoid a direct confrontation with Da Xia.”

　　Everyone understood that Feng Liyao was now pregnant and could not exert her full strength, making the fight very dangerous. Fortunately, the Great Xia Dynasty was unaware of this, and for some reason, the Great Xia court had been keeping a low profile, seemingly preparing for something.

　　Rao Zhirou glanced at the weather outside and said, “The climate is abnormal now, the seasons are disordered, and the shifting of stars has already begun. After the child is born, we should prepare to throw it into the Phoenix Nest.”

　　Feng Liyao said, “We can start preparing now. This is a matter of utmost importance, and we cannot afford any mistakes.”

　　Several stunning beauties turned cold and their eyes narrowed, instantly creating a solemn atmosphere in the palace.

　　After leaving Kunning Palace, Qi Fei didn’t return to his own Tingzhu Garden. Instead, he ran straight to Guanmei Garden. Even before he reached the gate, he shouted in a loud voice, “Master’s wife, godmother…”

　　The palace maid guarding the gate saw only a blur as Qi Fei flashed by, and when she looked again, he had already entered the room.

　　Inside the house, two stunningly beautiful women were sitting and chatting. One had an oval face but a voluptuous figure, while the other had an elegant demeanor and a scholarly air. Both were wearing loose white gauze dresses, and their bellies were protruding. Upon hearing the voice, the two women turned their heads and saw a young man in a blue robe, less than five feet tall, standing at the door.

　　”Godmother, Sister Xiangxiang!” Qi Fei ran over and hugged the two beautiful women, kissing them repeatedly.

　　”Finally decided to come back?”

　　”You little rascal, you really worried us a lot.”

　　As they were talking, Gu Yinzhang and Mei’er came out of the inner room, carrying fruit platters. They both smiled when they saw Qi Fei.

　　”Master’s wife, Mei’er!”

　　Qi Fei went forward and hugged Gu Yinzhang and Mei’er again. Returning to Kun Kingdom, especially to Guanmei Garden, was like returning to his mother’s embrace, a true haven of gentle comfort. It was extremely comfortable and pleasant, filled with the atmosphere of love everywhere.

　　…

　　The Imperial Palace of the Great Xia Dynasty.

　　Xia Yushu, wearing a flat-topped crown and a golden dragon robe, entered the main hall, followed closely by four top experts: Wang Hongyu, Bai Bufan, Yuan Fuyao, and Ye Jingyun.

　　Xia Yushu went straight to the dragon throne, turned the mechanism next to it, and the dragon throne moved to the side, revealing a passage that led to the entrance to the underground palace.

　　Xia Yushu stepped into the underground palace, and the others followed.

　　Xia Yushu frowned, anticipating good news.

　　Since returning from Jinding Mountain, Long Zhanye has gone into seclusion and Jiang Yuangong has disappeared. Even if Xia Yushu had the greatest courage, he would not dare to make any rash moves. He could only wait for Long Zhanye to emerge from seclusion or for Jiang Yuangong to return.

　　Fortunately, before Long Zhanye went into seclusion, he introduced Xia Yushu to a master, who was also one of the seventy-two Earthly Fiends. Although this person’s personal strength was not strong, his abilities were beyond imagination!

　　Xia Yushu invited this expert into the palace, and he would fulfill any request the other party made immediately, taking care of him in every way.

　　For the past few months, this master has been living in the underground palace, and there is a reason for that.

　　At this time, a large number of pools were newly built in the underground palace. Each pool was ten feet long, like a coffin, and was filled with medicine. A strong medicinal smell wafted through the underground palace, which was very pungent.

　　Xia Yushu and the others looked at these coffin-like medicinal pools. In each pool, a naked person, or rather a corpse, was soaking. There were men and women, but mostly men. They all had their eyes closed and their skin was grayish-black.

　　Xia Yushu and his companions went straight into one of the stone chambers, where they saw a futon with an old man dressed in a black robe and wearing a cloak sitting cross-legged. He looked similar to Jiang Yuangong, but was a bit thinner.

　　Behind the old man stood a group of men in black, of varying heights, all standing upright, their faces obscured by cloaks, and all exuding a strong medicinal smell.

　　”Uncle-Master!”

　　Xia Yushu stepped forward and respectfully bowed to the old man in black robes.

　　Wang Hongyu and the others also bowed respectfully, not daring to be hasty or slow.

　　”Hmm.” The old man raised his head, a glint of light flashing in his eyes as he scanned the group. His eyes were a ghastly white, with very little black and a lot of white, making them look like the eyes of a dead fish, which was rather eerie.

　　This is the infamous “Corpse Demon” from three hundred years ago, ranked second among the seventy-two Earthly Fiends, second only to Jiang Yuangong. His ability is to refine and control the living dead.

　　After witnessing his abilities, Xia Yushu was filled with admiration and dared not be hasty.

　　Xia Yushu chuckled and asked, “Uncle-Master, how is your progress? If you still need medicinal herbs, I can send someone to find them again.”

　　The Corpse Demon’s ability is to refine the corpses of the dead into “living dead.” These successfully refined living dead possess the strength they had in life, but lack the memories and thinking abilities of their former selves. Yet, they are controlled by the Corpse Demon. Therefore, with a large number of living dead, the Corpse Demon alone is enough to defeat an army of thousands and to contend with an entire martial arts world!

　　However, refining “living dead” requires a large amount of precious medicinal materials. The stronger the corpse, the scarcer and more precious the medicinal materials required. Although Xia Yushu felt sorry for it, he was willing to provide them because it was all worth it.

　　Once a large number of “living dead” are produced, the strength of the Great Xia Dynasty will surely increase significantly.

　　The advantage of these “living dead” is that they are not afraid of injury or death, because they are originally corpses, but they have retained their strength from their previous lives and can be used by others.

　　Such a being is simply the best weapon, a true killing machine!

　　Of course, these “living dead” also have their drawbacks. Because they lack memory and independent thinking, they are less flexible, and after being severely injured, they must be placed in a medicinal pool to recuperate in order to restore their fighting ability.

　　However, this is ultimately a very strong team!

　　The Corpse Demon’s dead fish eyes flickered slightly. He looked at Xia Yushu and chuckled, “You’re not bad, very sensible. No wonder the Demon Lord took a liking to you. The medicinal herbs are still a bit lacking. Go find them for me, and find them all at all costs.”

　　Xia Yushu said, “Don’t worry, Uncle-Master, I’ll take care of it!”

　　The Corpse Demon looked at him and continued, “Don’t worry, once these few living dead are refined, the mere Kun Kingdom can be completely swept away and is nothing to fear!”

　　”Yes, yes.” Xia Yushu nodded repeatedly.

　　The Corpse Demon said, “Currently, I have more than twenty ‘living dead’ under my command who are at the Innate Realm, and five who are at the Heavenly Rank. It’s just a pity that the old monk Kongming was burned by those stupid bald monks, otherwise there would be six Heavenly Rank experts! At present, the two ‘living dead’ Wang Tianlong and Bai Xifeng have not yet been successfully refined, and it will take some time. Don’t be anxious.”

　　Xia Yushu smiled and said, “Yushu, don’t worry, Uncle-Master, just keep refining it.”

　　”Um, is there anything else?”

　　”No, no, Yushu will take her leave now.”

　　Xia Yushu gestured to Wang Hongyu and the others, then left the stone chamber and walked out of the underground palace.

　　Before leaving, all five of them glanced around at the “living dead” and the “living dead” being refined in the medicine pool, their eyes flickering and their feelings complicated.

　　Xia Yushu’s adoptive father, “Flower King” Hua Zhenbei; Wang Hongyu’s father, “Dry Emperor” Wang Tianlong; Bai Bufan’s fake father, “Sword Saint” Bai Xifeng; Yuan Fuyao’s master, Xuantian Daoren; Ye Jingyun’s uncle, “Knife Master” Ye Hongyi; and his father, Ye Taixuan… The corpses of all these people are here. How could they not feel a mix of emotions?

　　They never imagined that the Corpse Demon would secretly dig these corpses out of their graves and turn them into indestructible “living dead.” Fortunately, they were just soulless corpses, which made them feel a little better. Otherwise, apart from Bai Bufan, the others would find it hard to accept.

　　Of course, all of this is for the purpose of strengthening our own power, and going a little overboard is not a big deal.

　　The five people walked out of the underground palace and returned to the main hall, where they looked at each other in silence.

　　At this moment, Wei Dongxiang and Yao Ye walked in from outside.

　　Wei Dongxiang didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, “I have two pieces of news, one good and one bad. I wonder which one Your Majesty would like to hear?”

　　Xia Yushu hurriedly said, “I want to hear them all!”

　　Wei Dongxiang said, “The bad news is that Qi Fei is not dead.”

　　”What? !”

　　”That’s impossible!”

　　Not only Xia Yushu, but Wang Hongyu and the others also looked at each other in disbelief, almost unable to believe their ears. They had just…

　　He clearly saw Qi Fei fall into the Blood Tiger Pool with his own eyes, and Yuan Fuyao even pierced his body with a sword. How could he not die? Is he even human?

　　Yao Ye’s lips twitched, and he said, “This matter is absolutely true. Our people in Kun Kingdom witnessed it with their own eyes. You don’t know, but Qi Fei has had some incredible luck. Not only did he not die, but his martial arts have also broken through. He should have reached the Heavenly Realm. He has truly become our biggest threat!”

　　Xia Yushu’s face turned pale and then red, and he remained silent for a while.

　　Wei Dongxiang said, “Oh, right, Snow Mountain Nun and Wang Wanru are still alive, but it seems they have been captured by that kid Qi Fei, hehe.”

　　Upon hearing this, Xia Yushu, Wang Hongyu, and the others felt as if they had eaten excrement, wishing they could tear Qi Fei to pieces. What a beautiful flower, and a flower of master and disciple at that, yet this damned dwarf had stolen it!

　　The five young talents clenched their fists, their teeth clenched in hatred.

　　Wei Dongxiang continued, “The good news is… Senior Jiang Yuangong has returned.”

　　”Oh?” Xia Yushu’s spirits lifted immediately upon hearing this. “Where is Master?”

　　As they were talking, a dark figure flashed in from outside and appeared directly in front of everyone, like a ghost, silent and stealthy.

　　Everyone hurriedly and respectfully greeted them.

　　Jiang Yuangong waved his hand and said, “No need for formalities. Has Long Zhanye come out of seclusion yet?”

　　Xia Yushu said, “My martial uncle has not yet emerged from seclusion.”

　　Jiang Wan asked in official document, “Is the Corpse Demon here?”

　　Xia Yushu said, “Senior Corpse Demon is currently residing in the underground palace. There are still two ‘living dead’ that have not yet been refined, and it will probably take some more time.”

　　Jiang Yuangong nodded and said, “Hmm, it seems we can only wait a little longer. The shift of stars has already begun, and this period will last for a maximum of three years. After three years, the positions of the stars will return to normal. Once we miss this opportunity, we will have to wait another three thousand years. Therefore, we must hurry.”

　　Xia Yushu and the others understood his meaning. During this period of time when the stars shifted, the five great beasts of the world would be in a weakened state. This would be the best time to kill the beasts, and only at this time would it be possible to kill them. It would be impossible at any other time. Xia Yushu and the others did not know how powerful the beasts were, but Jiang Yuangong knew it all too well.

　　The benefits of defeating the beast are unimaginable.

　　Every part of the mythical beast is a treasure. Drinking a mouthful of its blood grants immortality, and weapons that absorb its blood transform into indestructible divine weapons.

　　Those who practice martial arts can greatly increase their skills by drinking the blood of exotic beasts, instantly becoming martial arts masters. Legend has it that the blood of exotic beasts can even revive the dead, demonstrating how magical and precious it is.

　　It should have been a sweltering summer day, but now a light drizzle was falling from the sky, and the temperature was quite chilly.

　　Xia Yushu and the others looked at the rain and mist drifting outside the main hall, their eyes filled with fighting spirit and anticipation. Wang Hongyu’s eyes flickered, and it was unclear what he was thinking…
