“Master’s wife, please don’t worry anymore. Life is short and youth is fleeting. All I ask for in this life is to spend my life with the one I love. When I saw you in the pile of corpses, this fate was already destined. Heaven brought me to Mount Hua and gave you to me. We will never be apart in this life.”

Nie Yun held Ning Zhongze in his arms, and thinking about his bizarre experience, he felt a lot of emotions.

Ning Zhongze raised her head and looked at Nie Yun, who was not only her disciple, son-in-law, but also her lover. Her heart felt as if it had been freed from shackles. She gently raised her jade arm and offered him a sweet kiss, “Yes, in this life and the next, we will never be apart!”

Sensing the change in Ning Zhongze, Nie Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

“Master’s wife, you’re all sticky and must be very uncomfortable. Why don’t we take a bath together?” Nie Yunyi said affectionately, but immediately became frivolous again.

“You little rascal! Dream on!” Ning Zhongze rolled her eyes at him. “Go inside and check on your master. I’m going to take a bath.” With that, she put on her clothes and turned to leave.

“Hehe, I knew you wouldn’t agree.” Although Nie Yun was rejected, he wasn’t bothered at all, because it was something he had done on purpose.

He turned and went to the bedroom, where Yue Buqun lay quietly.

Nie Yun came to his side, gently smoothed his hair, and said, “Master, your disciple is seeing you off on your journey.”

Yue Buqun opened his eyes, his eyes filled with an overwhelming hatred.

Nie Yun shook his head and said, “Master, you still can’t let go! Since you’ve already castrated yourself, why bother about Master’s wife and me? But since you’re in so much pain, I have no choice but to give you a proper ending. Out of our master-disciple relationship, I’ll give you this advice: Don’t live such a hypocritical life in your next life, it’s really tiring.”

Yue Buqun’s breathing suddenly became rapid, and the hatred in his eyes turned into pleading for mercy.

Nie Yun smiled and placed his right hand on Yue Buqun’s heart pulse…

********************

In the mourning hall, Nie Yun held Yue Lingshan, who was crying her eyes out, and gently comforted her, “Shan’er, you know your master’s condition. He was already living a life worse than death. Although he has passed away, it is a relief for him.”

Yue Lingshan nestled tightly in Nie Yun’s arms, silently weeping. Unlike in the original story, she hadn’t yet been betrayed and hurt by her father, so she was naturally heartbroken.

Nie Yun offered a few more words of comfort, then looked up at Ning Zhongze.

Unlike the heartbroken Yue Lingshan, Ning Zhongze, though also grieving, had a look of relief in her eyes.

As she gazed at Yue Buqun’s memorial tablet, a series of past events flashed through her mind, from unfamiliarity to sweetness, and from sweetness to unfamiliarity, ultimately turning into a long sigh, which, along with the paper money in her hand, was burned into wisps of smoke and drifted away.

Ning Zhongze had her suspicions about Yue Buqun’s death, but no matter how many times she checked, she couldn’t find any suspicious points. In addition, Nie Yun’s crying scene was so good that it could win him a Grand Slam of Best Actor awards. So Ning Zhongze could only conclude that Yue Buqun’s fate was sealed.

The era of Yue Buqun at Mount Hua has come to a complete end, while the era of Nie Yun has just begun.

********************

Liu Zhengfeng of the Hengshan Sect is a renowned figure in the martial arts world. His Thirty-Six Moves of the “Returning Wind and Falling Wild Geese Sword” have made countless heroes and warriors submit to him.

However, for some unknown reason, he posted a message last month announcing to the martial arts world that he would retire from the martial arts world this month and no longer concern himself with the feuds of the martial arts community.

Liu Zhengfeng was a kind and generous man with a wide circle of friends. As soon as the news of his arrival spread, many people from the martial arts world flocked to Hengshan City to offer their congratulations.

However, with so many people coming, there are bound to be one or two unlucky ones.

In a cave outside Hengyang County, a farce unfolds as a big bad wolf tries to eat a little lamb.

“Please step aside, or I… my sword will… stab you.”

Although it was a threat, the girl’s voice was clear, melodious, gentle, and moving. It trembled slightly, and instead of being intimidating, it revealed her inner fear and hesitation.

“Hahaha… Little Master, your sword probably can’t even kill a chicken, so don’t waste your time.” A middle-aged man laughed loudly, his voice full of lewd intent.

“Amitabha, Buddhist disciples are forbidden to kill. I have never killed a chicken in my life. Benefactor, please step aside quickly so I can go find my master. If she can’t find me, she will definitely come back to find me, and it would be bad if she hurt you.”

“Hehe… I took a long detour when I brought you here. Your master wouldn’t be able to find you even if she searched for three days and three nights. Besides, your master is so old, I have no interest in her.”

“You…you are so…so rude. I don’t even know you, why did you arrest me?”

“I brought you here to test my swordsmanship, of course. Be a good girl and let my ‘sword’ stab you once, then I’ll let you go, hahaha…”

“Buddhist disciples must not harbor thoughts of fighting. Please let me leave quickly, benefactor.” The girl was pure and innocent, and upon hearing that it was a swordsmanship contest, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

“Hehe, my swordsmanship requires us to strip naked to compete, little master, so please don’t refuse.”

“Ah! Benefactor, you mustn’t talk nonsense! You…you stay away…please don’t come any closer…” Even the naive girl could tell that the man had ill intentions, but she seemed to be completely helpless.

“Hehe, go ahead and yell, no one will come even if you yell your lungs out.” The middle-aged man was clearly burning with lust and couldn’t wait any longer.

“I say, you flower thieves were all trained by the same teacher, weren’t you? How come you’re all shouting your lungs out? Shouting your lungs out is tiring.”

A teasing voice suddenly rang out outside the cave; it sounded like a young man.

“Who goes there?!” A sharp shout rang out, and a man in his thirties dressed in fine clothes jumped out of the cave. He held a sharp knife, his face was fierce, and his eyes darted around, looking everything in sight.

“Don’t bother looking, your eyes are too small, you can’t see your young master.” A handsome man who was not yet twenty years old emerged from behind the tree.

The middle-aged man took a closer look and couldn’t help but curse inwardly, “Damn! That pretty boy is really handsome!”

The handsome man, dressed in a brocade robe and holding a long sword, walked along shaking his head and making clicking noises.

“Boy, who are you? How dare you meddle in my business!” The middle-aged man brandished his long sword and asked fiercely.

“Oh, my surname is Ni, and my name is Ni Laozi,” the young man said with a smile.

“Hmph, Ni Laozi, he’s just a nobody… No, you kid tricked me!” Tian Boguang suddenly realized what was happening, and was furious. He raised his hand and slashed at the young man’s head with his knife.

“Well done!” The young man raised his right hand, and the sword thrust upwards, the tip just touching the blade. Tian Boguang felt a numbness in his hand and almost dropped the knife.

“Good lad, you’ve got some skills!”

Tian Boguang became wary and swung his knife again.

With one slash, before the move was even finished, another slash followed. In just a few breaths, he unleashed twelve slashes, each one powerful and heavy.

His signature move, the swift blade, was his most famous skill. When unleashed, it was as fast as lightning, as cunning as a venomous snake, and as fluid and continuous as flowing water. Many martial artists in the world with higher skills than him met their end at the hands of this swift blade.

Even if someone can withstand it, they can only defend themselves and have no chance to fight back.

The young man was even more terrifying. If Tian Boguang’s knife was a poisonous snake, then the young man’s sword was designed to strike at the vital spot.

His figure moved like lightning, and the long sword in his hand transformed into dazzling white light, not only blocking all of Tian Boguang’s sword attacks, but also counterattacking, causing Tian Boguang’s initial advantage to vanish in no time.

“Clang clang clang—” The sounds of their weapons clashing mingled together, and in the blink of an eye, they had exchanged dozens of blows.

The young man shook his head as he fought, saying, “Too slow, too slow, too slow! Tian Boguang, you’re too slow! This is what you call a fast knife? I think it’s more like a butcher’s knife!”

Tian Boguang felt a surge of anger, but he dared not relax in the face of the fierce sword light, and just gritted his teeth and swung the knife in his hand.

He was the one who always brought this feeling of being suppressed to others; he never expected to experience it himself today.

After another hundred moves, the young man’s eyes changed, and he said coldly, “Thank you for your help. It’s time to send you on your way.”

Tian Boguang was startled, but he felt that the young man’s sword moves suddenly became strange and tricky, with each strike aimed straight for the vital points.

Tian Boguang parried repeatedly, his body constantly retreating.

But the cold blade was like a persistent carbuncle, always there.

Click!

With a sharp crack, the hundred-refined steel knife in Tian Boguang’s hand broke in two. Tian Boguang was terrified and was about to flee when suddenly a pain shot through his throat, and all his strength vanished.

With a push of his hand, the long sword that was stuck in Tian Boguang’s throat pierced through his neck, leaving only the hilt sticking out.

The young man walked past Tian Boguang’s lifeless body and casually pulled the sword from the back of his neck.

Tian Boguang’s body fell straight backward, and only at the moment of his death did he understand why his sword had broken—the young man had stabbed the same spot with the tip of his sword in every move.

“Who…who are you?” The young man had just entered the cave when he heard a trembling voice.

The young man looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young nun of about sixteen or seventeen looking at him with a terrified expression.

This young nun was exceptionally beautiful, with a radiant complexion and fair, delicate skin that looked as if you could pinch water from it.

Her loose yellow robe couldn’t conceal her graceful figure, and her breasts rose and fell with her rapid breathing.

Although she had no hair on her head, its glossy and smooth appearance made her look even more adorable and cute.

At this moment, she was holding the sword tremblingly in her hand, facing the young man. Her small hand was as white as jade, crystal clear and slender, making one want to go forward and hold it in their hand to play with it.

Looking at the pure and lovely young nun, who resembled an elf, the young man raised his eyebrows and smiled, “Junior Sister Yilin, I am Nie Yun from Mount Hua. It’s a pleasure to meet you. Please give me your guidance.”

“Ah! So it’s my senior brother from the Huashan Sect, ah! No, it’s Sect Leader Nie. This humble nun greets you.”

Yilin was innocent and kind, and she did not doubt Nie Yun’s words at all. After hearing Nie Yun introduce himself, she quickly withdrew her sword and bowed.

“Hehe, my master and the three masters of your sect are of equal rank, so you don’t need to be so polite. Just call me Senior Brother or Brother Nie.” Nie Yun didn’t want to be called old, so he quickly corrected Yi Lin’s form of address.

“Yes, Senior Brother Nie…” Yi Lin hesitated for a moment before nodding.

“Hmm, so good!” Nie Yun really wanted to reach out and touch Yi Lin’s little bald head, but in the end he held back.

Yi Lin blushed slightly. “Senior Brother Nie… how did you know my name is Yi Lin? We seem… we seem to have never met before.”

“Oh, because I know that the Hengshan Sect has a beautiful and lovely junior sister named Yilin, so I guessed it when I saw you.” Nie Yun now speaks compliments to beautiful women with ease.

“Ah!” Yilin thought and thought, but she never expected Nie Yun to give such a reason. “Senior Brother Nie, Buddha said: All living beings are just stinking skin bags. What is there to be beautiful or not beautiful?”

Despite saying that, a smile appeared in Yilin’s round eyes; she was secretly pleased. “This handsome senior brother said I’m pretty…”

“Hahaha…” Nie Yun leaned in, took a deep breath, and made a sniffing motion before saying, “I don’t know if others smell bad, but Junior Sister Yilin smells sweet.”

“Nie…Senior Brother Nie…” Yi Lin had never been so close to a man before, and she quickly took a few steps back, her porcelain-like face flushing red.

“Hehe…” Knowing that it was too early to rush things at their first meeting, Nie Yun changed the subject and said, “I’ve already killed that villain. Come with me to Hengshan City to find your master!”

“Ah!” Yilin was shocked. “Senior brother, you…you…you killed her?”

For the first time in her life, the young nun, who had been a devout Buddhist since childhood, experienced the fragility of life and the cruelty of the martial world.

“I want to save you, but he wants to kill me. If I don’t kill him, I will be the one who dies. Moreover, Tian Boguang is a villain who has committed many evils and defiled many innocent women. As righteous people, we should kill him whenever we encounter him. You must know that only by killing bad people can we save more good people.”

Nie Yun knew that Yi Lin was kind-hearted and that even when facing evil people, she held the idea of ​​using Buddhist teachings to influence them with kindness.

This idea might be acceptable in a temple, but in the martial arts world, it could lead to certain death.

“Then… then Senior Brother Nie, are you injured? I have some ‘Heavenly Fragrance Rejuvenating Glue’ here.”

Although Yilin only half understood what he said, she did understand the first part, “He wanted to kill me.” She quickly took out the Hengshan Sect’s healing medicine from her body.

Nie Yun wanted to decline, but then he rolled his eyes and pretended to be dizzy and weak, saying, “I have no external injuries, but I was injured in the lungs by his internal force just now, and I feel really uncomfortable.”

As he spoke, he fell forward.

“Ah! Senior Brother…” Yi Lin’s pretty face turned pale with fright, and she quickly supported Nie Yun. However, she was slender and petite, so she stumbled back several steps due to the impact, and the two of them fell to the ground together.

Nie Yun seemed to have no strength left in his body, his head buried between Yi Lin’s breasts.

“My God! This little girl looks so thin and small, but I didn’t expect her to be so well-endowed!” Nie Yun felt two perky jade peaks pressed against his cheeks, and the budding flowers exuded a faint fragrance.

Nie Yun was overwhelmed with excitement. He closed his eyes, rubbed against her twice, and then “fainted”.

Yilin grew up in a nunnery and was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper when it came to matters between men and women.

Suddenly, a young man pressed down on her, his head resting on her chest. This left her completely flustered, her arms spread wide open, unsure of what to do with her hands.

She felt waves of heat emanating from the soft flesh against her chest, her breasts both itchy and numb, and a wave of tingling sensation washed over her, giving her a unique feeling she had never experienced before.

Especially those last few rubs from Nie Yun almost made her scream.

Yi Lin’s cheeks flushed, and she said in a trembling voice, “Senior Brother Nie, Senior Brother Nie, you…you get up quickly.”

After calling for a while, she found that Nie Yun was not moving, so she supported herself with one hand on the ground and pushed Nie Yun’s shoulder with the other, and whispered, “Senior Brother Nie, Senior Brother Nie.”

Nie Yun remained silent, continuing to enjoy the sensation of the shampoo on his face; the soft touch made his lower body begin to stir.

“Senior Brother? Senior Brother Nie?” Yilin struggled to lift the “unconscious” Nie Yun up and lay him flat on one side. She then squatted down and shook him vigorously.

Nie Yun, of course, kept his eyes closed and motionless, and even used his internal energy to force many beads of sweat out of his forehead, making him look very weak.

“What should we do? Senior Brother Nie was injured while saving me… It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have left Senior Sister to fetch water by myself.” Yi Lin felt extremely guilty as she looked at Nie Yun, whose condition was not good.

She turned to look outside the cave. It was already late, and a light rain had started to fall. Yilin, who already had almost no experience in the martial arts world, was now completely at a loss.

“Cough cough cough…” Nie Yun “woke up” very “just in time” and said to Yi Lin, “Junior Sister Yi Lin, I… cough cough… my injuries need to rest and recuperate, why don’t you leave me here in the cave… cough cough… and go after your master yourself?”

“Senior Brother Nie, how can I abandon you?”

After listening to Nie Yun’s “reminder”, Yi Lin suddenly had an idea. “It’s raining outside now, so why don’t we rest here for the night and set off again tomorrow morning?”

“Isn’t this…this isn’t a good idea?”

Nie Yun feigned hesitation and said, “It would be bad for your reputation if we were alone together, a man and a woman. Why don’t you leave and let me rest here… cough cough cough…”

“This…” Yilin hesitated, but looking at Nie Yun’s “weak” appearance and thinking of the scene of him fighting Tian Boguang to the death at the cave entrance just now, she couldn’t help but blame herself in her heart: “Yilin, Yilin, Senior Brother Nie risked his life to save you, how can you hesitate?”

Thinking of this, she said firmly, “Senior Brother Nie, there’s no need to persuade me anymore. It’s unworthy of a Buddhist disciple not to repay kindness. Besides, Senior Brother Nie, you… you’re such a good person…” Yilin’s face flushed slightly, “One night won’t matter.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble you, junior sister.” Nie Yun mentally gave herself a perfect score for her acting skills, not afraid of being proud at all.

“Senior Brother Nie, you should rest!” Yi Lin said to Nie Yun with concern.

As night deepened, raindrops pattered on the leaves, creating a continuous “drip-drip” sound.

The small cave seemed isolated from the world, where a handsome young man and a beautiful nun were about to spend their night together.

The big bad wolf is dead, but is the little lamb really safe?
