Chapter 96

Young man, I see you have extraordinary bone structure, remarkable appearance, and a special destiny; you are destined for greatness…”

On the street, a fortune teller grabbed Qi Fei and insisted on telling his fortune.

“No, no, absolutely not.” Qi Fei muttered impatiently, threw down a piece of silver, and quickly caught up with Leng Shuxue ahead.

Leng Shuxue glanced at him: “You’re not allowed to return money to others. Do you have too much money?”

Qi Fei shrugged: “I don’t think it’s easy for him to run a business. Maybe he has elderly parents and young children to support…”

“You’ll never get rich in your life, you’re hopeless.” Leng Shuxue said speechlessly.

“Let’s not talk about that now. When are we going to make our move?” Qi Fei asked.

The two wandered around the capital for three days, staying at inns at night and strolling around during the day. Qi Fei had no idea what tricks Leng Shuxue was playing.

Leng Shuxue didn’t speak, but suddenly stopped and said, “It’ll be soon.”

Qi Fei looked up and saw that what was in front of him was a brothel, the Wan Hua Lou.

Leng Shuxue said, “Wait for me outside for a while.” After saying that, she went inside alone.

Looking at her swaying, pert buttocks, Qi Fei felt that they had grown considerably larger than last year, and she was beginning to show the charm of a mature woman.

He lingered at the entrance of Wan Hua Lou for a while. A heavily made-up woman on the second floor beckoned to him, holding a handkerchief in her hand, clearly trying to attract customers. Judging from her appearance and figure, she was quite ordinary, not even as good as the average woman in Kun Kingdom.

“Why don’t they come out with something more attractive to attract customers?” Qi Fei shook his head inwardly.

Not long after, Leng Shuxue came out of Wanhua Tower, called Qi Fei, and left quickly.

Back at the inn, Leng Shuxue began packing her things.

Qi Fei asked, “What did you find out?” He knew that Leng Shuxue must have gone to Wanhua Tower to inquire about news. She had acquaintances there and could find out about the latest happenings in the capital for just a small fee.

Because the madams and girls in the brothel dealt with high-ranking officials and nobles every day, they were extremely well-informed.

Leng Shuxue said, “We’ve changed our strategy. We need to go to Jade Peak Mountain immediately.”

“Jade Peak Mountain? Isn’t that the location of the Shaoyue Sect’s mountain gate?” Qi Fei was slightly taken aback.

Leng Shuxue tied the package and carried it on her back, saying, “Princess Wanru is going to the Shaoyue Sect to offer incense, seek divination, inquire about marriage, and then hold a martial arts contest to find a husband to take back.”

“Huh?” Qi Fei was taken aback. “Then why are we going with them?”

Leng Shuxue glanced at him and said, “I suspect there’s something fishy going on here. Not long ago, Wang Hongyu invited Yuan Fuyao to Wanhua Tower to patronize prostitutes. I don’t know what they were discussing. If it was just about seeking divination, Wang Hongyu wouldn’t have needed to approach Yuan Fuyao and serve him so well. This might be to lull him into a false sense of security.”

Qi Fei said, “Perhaps Da Gan is planning to recruit people from the Shaoyue Sect into the palace to serve them!” Leng Shuxue shook her head: “The Da Chan Temple and the Shaoyue Sect have a clear rule not to participate in court disputes. Their disciples certainly won’t join the court, so Wang Hongyu’s unsolicited hospitality must have another purpose. This time, Princess Wanru is going to the Shaoyue Sect to offer incense, and Wang Hongyu and the people from Aojian Manor will accompany her. We should go and see; we might have a chance to ruin their plans.”

Leng Shuxue bent over and pulled the blankets up on the bed. Qi Fei hugged her from behind, his penis pressing against her buttocks, and laughed, “My dear little wife, let’s play a little longer before we go.”

“Get out of here.” Leng Shuxue pushed him away. “We just finished last night, and I’m still a little sore down there. Will you die if you don’t have sex for a day?”

Qi Fei stepped forward and hugged her again: “Life is short, so we should enjoy it while we can, and not waste our youth.”

“No, business is more important… um, I’m not available today.” After saying that, Leng Shuxue swayed her hips and walked towards the door.

Qi Fei did some quick calculations with his fingers and said, “Your period doesn’t seem to be around this time, does it? Hmph, you call me ‘brother’ when you’re absorbing my inner energy, but when you don’t need me, you say ‘it’s inconvenient.’ I’ve seen through you all today!”

“Hey, wait for me…” Qi Fei followed him out the door, carrying the Panlong Sword.

…In a deep forest in the Western Rong Kingdom, where the pine trees block out the sun, there is a clearing.

At this moment, a young man dressed in white was moving back and forth in the arena. With each leap, he left a trail of afterimages behind him, demonstrating his incredible speed.

“Heavenly Gang Killing Fist!”

The white-robed youth suddenly let out a low shout, and in one breath, his hands suddenly lengthened, extending more than ten feet. From his hands flew a series of black iron fist phantoms, each fist tearing through the air and striking a boulder three feet away. A muffled “bang” was heard, and the huge boulder remained unmoved, but a hole appeared in the middle of the boulder, which had been pierced by the white-robed youth’s fist phantoms.

“Earthly Fiend Demon Leg!”

The young man in white launched another kick, which seemed to grow longer, extending more than ten feet away. He kicked the boulder away, and before it even hit the ground, it exploded into a cloud of dust with a deafening roar, scattering in the air and disappearing with a gust of wind.

“good!”

A woman’s voice came over, clapping and cheering.

The young man in white landed on the ground, finished his training, and looked over with a confident expression. He saw a woman in palace attire who looked to be in her forties walking out from behind a pine tree. The woman had heavy makeup, a smiling eye, a beautiful face, and a curvaceous figure. The neckline of her dress was very low, revealing a deep, fair cleavage. She was indeed a rare beauty, but there were traces of time on her face, with crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes. Her skin was quite fair and tender, and she exuded the alluring charm of a mature woman.

“Yu Shu, in just a few months, you have already made some progress in your ‘Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Divine Skill,’ which is truly impressive,” the mature woman said with a smile.

The young man in white was none other than Hua Yushu, who had now changed his surname to “Xia Yushu”.

Since he sought refuge with Layman Haoyun last year, when Layman Haoyun took Hua Yushu to the Western Rong Kingdom to recognize her biological mother, and she became a disciple of Jiang Yuangong to cultivate his “Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Divine Skill,” half a year has passed since then, and she has already made some progress. Her martial arts have greatly improved, and she is now able to compete with masters like Ye Jingyun and Yao Ye.

This woman in palace attire is Xia Linshi, Hua Yushu’s biological mother, whose name is “Lin Luohua”. She is also the first wife of a descendant of the previous Great Xia Dynasty. She is quite cunning, and even the usually crazy Jiang Yuangong listens to her very much.

“mother!”

Xia Yushu saw Lin Luohua and quickly went up to greet her.

Lin Luohua looked at him with affection and smiled, “Good child, your talent is in no way inferior to any martial arts master. Given time, you will definitely be able to cultivate to the Heavenly Realm!”

As they were talking, a man in black robes flew down from above and stood beside Lin Luohua.

The man looked very old, his whole body was covered in a black cloak, his hair was white, his skin was wrinkled, his face was full of wrinkles, his ears were large, his eyebrows were long but slanted into his temples, and his eyes were emerald green with a faint, eerie light, which was very different from ordinary people.

The old man in black robes had a strange smile on his face. He was chewing something in his mouth, which was full of blood. Two long fangs were exposed in his mouth, and he made a strange “heh heh” sound. He looked at Xia Yushu and kept nodding with a smile.

“Master!” Xia Yushu was filled with respect upon seeing the old man and immediately knelt down.

This old man in black robes is the “Jiang Yuangong” mentioned by Master Haoyun. It is said that he was one of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends more than 300 years ago. He came down from the sky and is very mysterious. Not only is he long-lived, but his martial arts skills are also extremely high and unfathomable. Even Master Haoyun, who is on the list of martial arts masters, could not withstand a single move from him.

“Hehehe…” Jiang Yuangong nodded, gesturing for him to get up.

Xia Yushu rose slightly, looking at the old man in front of him with reverence.

He held Jiang Yuangong in the highest esteem. When he first met Jiang Yuangong last year, he had sparred with him. He used all his skills, but couldn’t even withstand a single move from Jiang Yuangong. Similarly, Yao Ye and Ye Jingyun also fought Jiang Yuangong. The two of them joined forces and were defeated in less than thirty moves. The difference in strength between the two sides was like heaven and earth, completely incomparable.

According to Ye Taixuan’s estimation, Jiang Yuangong’s martial arts are even more powerful than the four grandmasters of the world. Perhaps they are all Heavenly Realm experts with comparable levels of skill. However, Jiang Yuangong’s martial arts are mysterious and unpredictable, with extremely strong destructive power, as if he was born specifically for killing. This kind of martial arts is simply incomparable to the four grandmasters. His “Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Divine Skill” is astonishing. Once he makes a move, the enemy will either die or be seriously injured. Even the four extraordinary skills of the world are probably inferior to it!

Xia Yushu was captivated by him and immediately decided to become Jiang Yuangong’s disciple. Jiang Yuangong was mad and somewhat mentally unstable, and he was never kind to anyone. However, he listened to Lin Luohua very much. Out of respect for Lin Luohua, he accepted Xia Yushu as his disciple and taught him the “Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Divine Skill”.

This divine skill is divided into three parts: internal energy cultivation method, Heavenly Gang Killing Fist and Earthly Fiend Demon Leg. Xia Yushu practiced diligently for nearly half a year and finally made some progress.

At this moment, Xia Yushu’s confidence had greatly increased, and he was full of confidence even when facing Qi Fei!

Lin Luohua looked at Xia Yushu and said, “Yushu, I’ve noticed that although you’ve been practicing every day these past few days, you seem a bit restless. Is something on your mind?”

“Mother,” Xia Yushu sighed, “Whenever I think of how our Great Xia Dynasty was divided up by the Da Gan and Kun Kingdoms, I lose my appetite and can’t sleep at night. It’s truly heartbreaking!”

Lin Luohua discerned his thoughts and said, “You want to return to Da Gan, don’t you?”

“No one knows me better than my mother.” Xia Yushu said in a deep voice, “My godfather ‘Flower King’ and Uncle Ye were both killed by the people of Da Gan and Kun Kingdom. I must avenge them no matter what, then defeat the courts of Da Gan and Kun Kingdom, unify the world, and restore the supreme imperial power of my Great Xia Dynasty!”

Lin Luohua sighed: “I originally hoped that you would go down the mountain to make great strides and take back what belongs to us after you have reached the Heavenly Realm. However, you are restless and can no longer stay in this mountain. In that case, let’s go down the mountain!”

“Thank you for your understanding, Mother!” Xia Yushu’s face lit up with joy. “I want Mother to come down the mountain with me, along with Master Jiang and the others…”

Lin Luohua looked at Xia Yushu and smiled, “Don’t worry, you are the future hope of our Great Xia Dynasty. I will never let you go into danger alone. This time when you go down the mountain to make great progress, I will have the Four Elders of Qiankun accompany you. Your Master Jiang and I will also protect you in secret. You can go with peace of mind.”

“That’s wonderful!” Xia Yushu was overjoyed. If Jiang Yuangong were to emerge from seclusion, who in this world could defeat him? Wouldn’t defeating the Daqian and Kun kingdoms and unifying the world be just around the corner?

Lin Luohua looked up at the setting sun and said, “Before you go down the mountain, you must go to Haoqi Manor to visit Ling’er. She is pregnant.”

“Ah…” Xia Yushu was delighted again.

Last winter, he married Liu Ling’er, the daughter of Layman Haoyun. Unexpectedly, she became pregnant this spring, which is another joyous occasion.

In fact, the reason Lin Luohua asked him to come down the mountain was because he had an heir.

At that moment, Xia Yushu returned to Haoqi Manor in Leizhou to visit Liu Ling’er. Afterwards, he led the Four Elders of Qiankun, as well as Ye Taixuan, Ye Jingyun, Yao Ye, and others, to once again set foot on the territory of the Daqian Dynasty, intending to accomplish great things… Yunzhou City is located in the north of the Qiankun Continent. North of Zhongzhou is Yunzhou, and further north is the Great Grassland, which is the territory of the Northern Di Kingdom.

Yunzhou City was also one of the important cities of the Great Gan Dynasty. It had a large population, and the people lived in peace and contentment, presenting a thriving scene with the aroma of cooking everywhere.

Qi Fei and Leng Shuxue led their horses down the street, looking at the bustling market in front of them.

The area is lined with shops, bustling with vendors and merchants, and even martial arts practitioners can be seen everywhere. The place is orderly and there is no chaos whatsoever.

Qi Fei had a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, which he had just picked from the roadside. He exclaimed in surprise, “I never imagined that Yunzhou City would be so bustling and prosperous, no less impressive than the capital of Daqian and the capital of Kun Kingdom!”

Leng Shuxue said, “That’s because Jinding Mountain and Yuding Mountain are nearby, with Dachan Temple and Shaoyue Sect in charge. Few people dare to cause trouble in Yunzhou City. The gangs here are also very law-abiding, there are almost no thieves, and the government will not easily oppress the people.”

The Great Zen Temple and the Shaoyue Sect are great sects with a history of thousands of years. They are the true pillars of the martial arts world. Anyone who hears of the Great Zen Temple and the Shaoyue Sect will be filled with awe and respect. No one dares to offend these two great sects. Even the Aojian Manor, which is known as the number one sect in the world, has many disciples. When they encounter the disciples of the Great Zen Temple and the Shaoyue Sect, they will give them some respect.

The main gate of Dachan Temple is on Jinding Mountain, and the main gate of Shaoyue Sect is on Yuding Mountain. These two mountain ranges are located north of Yunzhou City. They are the two highest and most majestic mountains in Yunzhou, serving as pillars of the region and enjoying extremely prosperous incense offerings.

As they were talking, they saw a restaurant in front of them and went inside. It was already lunchtime, so they decided to fill their stomachs first before thinking about anything else.

The two ordered some food and drinks and were enjoying their meal when a woman in a pale yellow dress walked in from outside, went straight to Qi Fei’s table, and sat down next to him.

A fragrant breeze wafted over, and Qi Fei was slightly taken aback. He looked up and was immediately overjoyed: “Godmother!”

The woman had a beautiful oval face, a voluptuous figure, and smiling eyes. Her gentle demeanor was tinged with a stern air. She was none other than Qi Fei’s godmother, Li Huiyu.

Li Huiyu took out a handkerchief and wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, then laughed and said, “You brat, you left without even saying goodbye to your godmother. You made me so worried. You’re really not good enough.”

Qi Fei said with a look of shame, “I was worried that my godmother wouldn’t let me go out, so I didn’t say anything.”

Li Huiyu said gently, “How could your godmother not let you go out? You can go wherever you want, and your godmother will accompany you.”

Qi Fei said, moved, “Godmother, what brings you here?”

Li Huiyu said, “Upon learning that you had come to make a big fuss, the Empress sent out quite a few people. Shu Xue arrived first, and I was just a little later than her. Come, let me see what dishes you ordered?” “Godmother, let’s eat together.” Qi Fei asked the waiter to add bowls and chopsticks.

Next to Qi Fei and his group’s table was a table of martial arts practitioners, consisting of two tall, burly men with swords at their waists. The two were eating meat and drinking wine heartily, glancing over here every now and then.

Leng Shuxue was one thing, but with her cloak covering her face, it was clear from her slender and beautiful figure that she must be a great beauty. As for Li Huiyu, she was even more stunning, with a pretty face and a voluptuous figure that exuded an alluring charm. This made the two burly men beside her thirsty and constantly gulping down their drinks, their eyes glancing at Li Huiyu from time to time with a sinister green light, as if they were hungry wolves eyeing their prey.

Qi Fei and the others ignored them and just ate.

While they were eating, a slender, beautiful young woman suddenly walked in from outside. She was dressed in a plain white robe and carrying a rice bowl in her hand. She was a wandering nun who practiced Buddhism while still keeping her hair.

In the Yunzhou area, whenever a monk or nun goes begging for alms, everyone is happy to give them a meal and will not drive them away.

When the innkeeper saw the nun standing at the door begging for alms, he didn’t say a word and immediately ordered the waiter to prepare a vegetarian meal.

The two burly men beside them saw that Qi Fei and Li Huiyu were both carrying long swords and knew they were martial arts practitioners, so they didn’t dare to provoke them easily. However, when they saw the nun, their eyes lit up, and their greed was on full display.

The young nun had bright eyes, a rosy face, and snow-white skin. Her beautiful face seemed to glow with moisture, and her pink lips were slightly pursed. She held a begging bowl in one hand and held the other hand in front of her chest. Her graceful posture was indescribably charming.

The burly man on the left stared at the nun’s chest, which was so full it looked like two big meat buns, straining against her robes. The burly man on the right, however, lingered between the nun’s genitals and buttocks. Both men were swallowing hard.

At this moment, the waiter had already poured the food into the nun’s bowl. The nun said “thank you” and handed the waiter a palm-sized image of a Bodhisattva, saying, “Excellent! This can be pasted on the door; it has the effect of warding off evil spirits and creating a good connection with you, benefactor.”

“Thank you, young master.” The waiter took the portrait and jogged to the counter to give it to the shopkeeper. After accepting it, the shopkeeper nodded to the nun to express his gratitude.

The young nun turned around, intending to leave.

Just then, the two burly men exchanged a glance and couldn’t hold back any longer. A fierce glint flashed in their eyes, and they quickly stood up and went to the young nun, blocking her way. One of them lewdly said, “Little sister, why did you become a nun at such a young age? If you had experienced the pleasures of love and sex, you would definitely have to return to secular life. Do you believe me?”

The young nun, smelling the strong smell of alcohol emanating from the other party, frowned and said, “Both of you are drunk. You should reflect on your actions after you sober up. I will take my leave now.”

“Hey, little sister, don’t go! Play with us brothers for a bit!” The burly man leered as he reached out and touched the little nun’s chest with his large hand.
