The next morning, Qi Fei got dressed, and Shen Xiangxiang took him to the entrance of the valley, took out a bag, and handed it to Qi Fei.

Shen Xiangxiang said, “There are some dry rations here. Take them with you on your journey.”

“Hmm.” Qi Fei silently accepted it.

Shen Xiangxiang pointed to the stream beside her and said, “This valley is a forbidden area, but it is not impossible to enter or leave. I occasionally go out to buy some items, and I always enter and leave through this stream.”

“This stream…” Qi Fei looked at the stream in front of him, which flowed along the valley and into the stone cave ahead, disappearing from sight.

Shen Xiangxiang said, “There is an underground stream under this cave. If you go out through the underground stream, you will see a river. This river leads directly to a county town in Kun Kingdom. Once you get there, things will be much easier. However, you must be very careful when you get to Kun Kingdom. Men have a very low status in Kun Kingdom and are easily bullied. You must not offend the women there.”

Qi Fei nodded, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Shen Xiangxiang asked, “What’s wrong?”

Qi Fei said, “Sister, come with me, I will take good care of you!”

Shen Xiangxiang smiled and said, “No, I’m used to living here. Since you have important matters to attend to, you shouldn’t delay any longer. Go quickly.”

“Sister…” Qi Fei suddenly hugged her.

The clothes they had just put on were quickly taken off, and they soon rolled onto the ground, kissing and caressing each other, their lower bodies pressed together, and their genitals quickly joined together.

“Sister, dear sister…”

“Fuck me…fuck me now…fuck me to death…let me die under your big cock…ahhh…”

The sounds of moans and flesh colliding echoed through the valley, lasting for more than half an hour before stopping. Shen Xiangxiang climaxed more than ten times, and Qi Fei also ejaculated once.

After the pleasure subsided, Qi Fei finally left with great reluctance.

Following the underground stream out of the valley, a river indeed appeared before us.

Qi Fei looked back and saw only towering cliffs, so steep that even birds couldn’t cross them. If it weren’t for Shen Xiangxiang pointing out this hidden passage, no one would have known there was a deep valley inside, making it impossible to enter or leave.

Qi Fei thought to himself, “When I kill those bastards, I must go back here and bring Sister Xiangxiang out to live.”

He tied up his baggage, gripped the Panlong Sword, and walked forward along the river.

This was his first time visiting Kun Kingdom, and he was completely unfamiliar with the map and routes. However, since Shen Xiangxiang said to just follow the river, he was sure he was on the right track.

He walked along the river, where the water flowed swiftly, willows lined the banks, and green mountains surrounded the area. As expected of the Kun Kingdom’s territory, the overlapping mountains and rivers created an exceptionally beautiful landscape, completely different from the plains of the Gan Dynasty.

Qi Fei currently faces two issues. One is the situation of Fang Huaxian and Gu Yinzhang. He doesn’t know if the Ninth Prince will make a move against them or if they are in danger. However, given Fang Huaxian and Feng Jianqing’s strength, even if they encounter the Ninth Prince’s people, they should be able to escape without any problem. As for Gu Yinzhang and the others, they should have already returned to Diancang Mountain.

There’s another matter: Qi Fei wants to find his parents. Feng Jianqing said they’re in Kun Kingdom, and since he’s currently within Kun Kingdom’s borders, he might as well take care of this matter first.

Walking on the river, he felt a faint sense of anticipation. He wondered what his parents were like and what his family situation was. They must also be people from the martial arts world.

He picked a foxtail grass by the river and walked along the road, humming a little tune, facing the morning sun.

Just then, the sound of hooves came from the road ahead. Looking up, they saw a group of people galloping towards them, about a dozen riders, each with a man on his back. They were all dressed in black tight-fitting clothes and had swords at their waists.

Suddenly, Qi Fei’s expression changed.

He saw that in front of or behind these men lay a woman, all of whom were bound with ropes, had something stuffed in their mouths, and were making “mmm” sounds while struggling with their hands and feet.

These men all had lewd grins on their faces, making strange, joyful noises, and frequently groping the women.

“brute!”

Qi Fei immediately recognized them as bandits from the Gan Dynasty who had abducted women from the Kun Kingdom and were on their way back.

As a member of the martial arts world, especially a disciple of the Diancang Sect, one of the nine most prestigious and righteous sects in the martial arts world, Qi Fei naturally could not sit idly by. He practiced martial arts to uphold justice and fight for the underdog!

Seeing that more than ten riders had already galloped close, Qi Fei immediately drew his Panlong Sword, stood with the sword held horizontally, and shouted loudly, “You must release the woman on horseback at the very least, or I will spare your lives; otherwise, I will make sure you don’t see the sun rise tomorrow!”

“Where did this brat come from, spouting nonsense here?”

“Kill him!”

Seeing that Qi Fei was short, the bandits didn’t take him seriously at all, and continued to gallop wildly, while drawing their swords and knives from their waists and slashing at Qi Fei’s head.

“You asked for this!”

Qi Fei immediately stopped holding back. With a flick of his Panlong Sword, sword light flashed, and streaks of dragon-shaped sword energy shot out from the sword, rushing towards the bandits!

During these past few days, although Qi Fei did not actively cultivate, his primordial yang and primordial yin energies constantly intertwined with Shen Xiangxiang’s lovemaking day and night, which greatly benefited his cultivation. In particular, Shen Xiangxiang was a top expert at the Innate Realm, and her help to Qi Fei was even greater during intercourse.

At this time, although Qi Fei had not yet reached the Innate Realm and had not cultivated the Innate Qi, his internal energy was abundant and he had opened up all eight extraordinary meridians. Below the Innate Realm, almost no one could defeat him. Dealing with these mere second-rate bandits was naturally no problem for him.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A series of resounding booms echoed as dragon-shaped sword energies shattered the swords and knives in the hands of the bandits, piercing through their chests. The bandits fell from their horses, crashing to the ground, spitting blood, and dying instantly.

“Ugh…” The women on horseback struggled violently when they saw someone make a move, casting pleading glances at Qi Fei.

Qi Fei stepped forward, lowered them off the horse, untied their ropes, and removed the cloth stuffing from their mouths.

The women all gathered around, knelt down before Qi Fei, and said gratefully, “Thank you, young hero,” “Thank you, young master,” expressing their deepest gratitude.

Qi Fei helped them up one by one, repeatedly saying, “You’re welcome.”

Just then, a delicate shout came from afar: “You audacious lecherous thief, how dare you come to our Kun Kingdom to rape and plunder! Prepare to die!”

Immediately afterwards, Qi Fei saw a group of women dressed in sky-blue gauze dresses appear on the road. They lightly touched the ground with their toes, used their lightness skills to quickly approach, and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.

These women were all dressed in the same style, clearly belonging to the same sect. Each of them was dignified and beautiful. The leader was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her early thirties. She had a face that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky. Her slightly curved willow-leaf eyebrows were slightly furrowed. Her beautiful eyes, which were clear and bright, were sparkling. She had a fair, oval face with a slightly pointed chin. Her rosy lips were slightly parted. Her breasts were high and firm, rising and falling slightly with her breath. Below her slender waist were round, upturned buttocks, and below that were a pair of long, jade-like legs, wearing sky-blue embroidered shoes.

Qi Fei had barely glanced at the beautiful woman when she flashed forward, a sky-blue flute-sword appearing in her hand. Points of sword light rained down on Qi Fei’s head!

Qi Fei hurriedly swung his Panlong Sword to defend, deflecting the opponent’s sword momentum and separating the opponent’s flute sword. He felt his arm go numb and thought to himself, “Wow, this is amazing! This is actually a top expert in the Innate Realm!”

“Please stop, heroine!” Qi Fei hurriedly said.

“You little lecher, what else do you have to say?” The beautiful woman raised an eyebrow and stared at him coldly with her beautiful eyes.

Qi Fei said, “I rescued them from the bandits, so why are you calling me a lecher?”

“What did you say? You killed the bandits not to rob these women, but to save them?” The beautiful woman was slightly taken aback and sheathed her flute and sword.

“Of course,” Qi Fei said. “You can ask them if you don’t believe me.”

At this moment, the rescued women from Kun Kingdom also spoke up to explain on Qi Fei’s behalf.

“Heroine, this young hero is indeed our savior!”

“He’s not a bad person!”

Hearing this, the beautiful woman’s expression softened. She cupped her hands to Qi Fei and smiled slightly, saying, “It turns out it was a misunderstanding. I was being presumptuous. Just now, when I saw you arguing with these women, I thought you were plotting something against them. I apologize to you.”

Qi Fei said, “It’s alright.”

The beautiful woman said, “I am Yu Youyang from Tingyulou. What is your name?”

Upon hearing this, Qi Fei’s eyes lit up: “Yu Youyang, the master of Tingyu Tower?”

The beautiful woman nodded with a smile.

Qi Fei’s goodwill towards the head of Tingyulou, one of the nine most prestigious sects in the world, increased greatly. He clasped his hands and said, “I am Qi Fei, a disciple of Diancang Sect. My master’s wife is Gu Yinzhang, the ‘Jade Maiden Sword’.”

“So you’re Miss Gu’s disciple,” Yu Youyang realized.

She instructed her disciples to put the rescued women on horseback, and the group headed towards the county town. Seeing Qi Fei follow, Yu Youyang asked, “What are you going to Kun Kingdom for?”

Qi Fei scratched his head and said, “I plan to go to Kun Kingdom to find my parents.”

Yu Youyang asked, “Are you from Kun Kingdom?”

Qi Fei said somewhat uncertainly, “I guess so… I was sent to Diancang Mountain when I was a child, and I have never seen them before.”

Yu Youyang asked again, “What are your parents’ names? Where do they live? If we don’t have any definite information, it will be difficult to find them.”

Qi Fei thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know what they’re called either, but I heard that my mother might be called ‘Feng Liyao’.” He thought of what the Ninth Prince had said before he fell off the cliff.

The moment the name “Feng Liyao” was uttered, everyone around changed their expressions drastically and looked at Qi Fei, exchanging bewildered glances.

Yu Youyang’s expression changed upon hearing this, and he said, “What did you say? What’s your mother’s name?”

“Feng Liyao… um, that should be her name.”

“you……”

After confirming that she hadn’t misheard, Yu Youyang looked Qi Fei over again, took a deep breath, and said, “You’re probably mistaken. Your mother couldn’t possibly have that name.”

Qi Fei asked curiously, “Why?”

Yu Youyang played with the flute sword and said, “This is not easy to explain. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the capital of Kun Kingdom and ask in the palace.”

“The capital city, the imperial palace?” Qi Fei was completely confused.

Before they knew it, a county town appeared in front of them, and the group entered the town.

It was already noon, and the streets were bustling with people, very lively.

Qi Fei suddenly noticed that on the streets of Kun Kingdom, both men and women were wearing makeup, gauze skirts, and stockings, dressed up in a flamboyant manner. Many men were dressed in women’s clothing, with delicate fingers, speaking in a effeminate manner, and wearing shoes with very high heels, which looked particularly awkward.

At this moment, Yu Youyang said to Qi Fei, “I’m leaving. Take care of yourself.”

Qi Fei asked, “May I ask, Miss Yu, how do I get to the capital?”

Yu Youyang mounted his horse and said, “Go straight south along the official road. A hundred miles away, the city surrounded by three mountains is the capital of the Kun Kingdom.” After saying that, he led the disciples of Tingyu Tower and rode away.

Qi Fei watched her departing figure before turning his gaze away.

He arrived at the entrance of a flatbread shop, and a rich aroma of baked flatbread wafted towards him. He took out a piece of silver from his bag and handed it over, saying, “Boss, two flatbreads, please.”

“Alright~ Sir, please take this carefully~ Be careful not to burn your hands~” The boss was wearing a red robe with a peach blossom in his hair. He was elegant in demeanor, but his tone of voice was unusually feminine. This femininity was not in the softness of his voice, but in the feminine tone of his voice, which was completely devoid of any masculinity.

Qi Fei was somewhat stunned. He took the sesame seed cake and walked down the street, eating it while looking around. He noticed that the men here, regardless of their status, all had a kind of feminine softness, appearing weak and delicate, yet they were doing all sorts of work. Some men were beaten and scolded by women, but they dared not fight back or even talk back, and could only swallow their anger.

“You scumbag surnamed Cai, what were you doing at Widow Liu’s house next door? Huh? I’ll beat you to death…”

“Waaaaah, they abuse me every day, I can’t live like this anymore~”

A young couple were chasing and hitting each other in the street.

“Is this the folk custom of Kun Kingdom?” Qi Fei felt his eyes were opened, truly the world is vast and full of wonders.

In the Kun Kingdom, men have no status whatsoever and are completely trampled underfoot by women. This is the complete opposite of the Gan Dynasty, where women have no status and are treated as commodities that can be bought and sold at will. In the Kun Kingdom, however, it is the other way around.

Not only have the gender roles reversed, but the men in the Kun Kingdom have also become more feminine. Qi Fei even suspects that the “transvestites” originated from the Kun Kingdom, as he has never heard of “transvestites” in the Qian Dynasty.

He bought a chestnut horse at the stable, mounted it, left the county town, followed the official road out of the south gate, and headed straight for the capital city, a hundred miles away.

The Great Gan Dynasty had more than twenty prefectures, hundreds of cities of varying sizes, and hundreds of millions of people, with more men than women. In contrast, the Kun Kingdom was much smaller, with only a dozen or so prefectures, dozens of cities, and tens of millions of people, with more women than men.

Strictly speaking, Kun Kingdom was much weaker than Gan Dynasty. However, Kun Kingdom was located in the mountainous and riverine region of the south, with towering mountains and rivers, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was extremely difficult for Gan Dynasty to attack. For more than three hundred years, although the two countries had been at war, they had never truly determined a winner.

A journey of a hundred li is not far, and Qi Fei galloped at full speed, finally arriving in the capital before nightfall.

Looking at the city ahead, Qi Fei’s eyes lit up!

The city in front of us covered several thousand acres. It was backed by a high mountain to the north, and slightly lower mountains to the east and west. The three mountain ranges embraced the city. A large river flowed across the south, dozens of feet wide, and a wide stone bridge spanned it, leading directly to the city gate. Many carriages were traveling on the bridge.

Although this city is not as magnificent as the capital of the Qian Dynasty, it is exquisite and elegant, with its own unique characteristics.

Qi Fei rode his chestnut horse across the stone bridge and arrived at the city gate, where he saw the four large characters “Kun Kingdom Capital” carved on the gate.

It was already dark when they entered the city. Qi Fei found an inn to stay in and planned to inquire about his parents’ whereabouts the next day.

The next day, Qi Fei woke up, left the inn, sold the chestnut horse, and then walked along Zhuque Street toward the palace gate.

Before long, Qi Fei arrived at the palace gate and saw many imperial guards standing guard. Half of them were men with long swords at their waists, and the other half were women with long swords at their waists. The men wore green armor, and the women wore red tight-fitting dresses. The men were all effeminate and feminine, while the women appeared heroic and fierce.

“Stop! What are you doing?” A female guard drew her sword and blocked Qi Fei’s path.

Qi Fei, neither humble nor arrogant, clasped his hands and said, “It’s alright. I am Qi Fei. I came here to find my relatives after being instructed by the Master of Yulou.”

“You came here looking for relatives? What a joke!” The female guard looked him up and down. “It was actually Lord Yu who sent you. That’s utter nonsense!”

Qi Fei frowned and said, “Young lady, what are you saying? Since Master Yu sent me here, there must be no mistake. My mother is probably a lady-in-waiting in the palace, and perhaps she is your colleague!”

“My colleague? That’s utter nonsense!”

The female guard’s eyes were rather sharp. “Then tell me your mother’s name and see if I recognize her. If I don’t, I’ll arrest you and charge you with disturbing the peace!”

Qi Fei shouted, “My mother’s name is Feng Liyao. You can go and ask around to see if she works there…”

“Clang!”

Before he could finish speaking, a group of people drew their swords and quickly surrounded him. The female guard pointed her sword at him and shouted, “How dare you address the Empress by her name! Slash this ignorant fool to death!”

“The… Empress?” Qi Fei tightened his grip on the Panlong Sword. “My sister never told me about this!” He suddenly felt a pang of regret; he should have asked Yu Youyang about it first.

Seeing the guards charging forward with their swords, Qi Fei quickly brandished the Panlong Sword and used the “Panlong Sword Technique” to defend against their attacks. The Panlong Sword was a divine weapon, and with one strike, the guards’ swords were all cut in half and fell to the ground.

Qi Fei moved swiftly and effortlessly through the arena. He discovered that while the guards were skilled, they were far from reaching the Innate Realm and could only be considered first-rate experts in the martial arts world. Qi Fei’s martial arts were generally stronger than theirs, and with the Panlong Sword in his hand, he quickly gained the upper hand. However, he held back and did not kill them to avoid causing trouble.

However, before he could even rejoice, he saw even more guards rushing out of the palace.
