After dinner, Wang Xiaofeng went up to the deck alone and looked at the dark river with a depressed expression.

He had just seen Nie Yun and Ling Shuanghua passing food to each other at the dining table.

So he mustered up the courage to put a piece of fish on Shui Sheng’s plate, but Shui Sheng immediately moved the bowl away, leaving him in a very awkward situation.

Of course, he didn’t know that Nie Yun had repeatedly mentioned to Shui Sheng, without leaving a trace, that eating vegetarian food during the mourning period would make their parents’ spirits in heaven feel very gratified.

“Brother Wang, why aren’t you resting so late?” A voice broke Wang Xiaofeng’s dejection. He turned around and saw Nie Yun looking at him with concern.

Wang Xiaofeng curled his lip and said, “What, Sect Leader Nie isn’t going to keep your Miss Ling company?”

“Hehe…” Nie Yun walked over to Wang Xiaofeng’s side, shrugged and said, “Shuanghua went to wash up, otherwise I wouldn’t have this much free time! Sigh, being clung to by a girl all day is a sweet kind of trouble!”

Looking at Nie Yun’s seemingly complaining but actually showing off manner, Wang Xiaofeng felt extremely disgusted.

He turned to look into the distance and said sourly, “Sect Leader Nie really has some tricks up his sleeve, managing to completely charm Miss Ling, the most beautiful woman in Jingzhou!”

Nie Yun laughed, “Hehe, I’m used to it. When I was at Mount Hua, my junior sister clung to me even more!” Wang Xiaofeng asked in confusion, “Junior sister?”

Nie Yun looked at him and a bright smile appeared on her face. “Yes, my junior sister Yue Lingshan.”

Those white teeth were dazzlingly bright.

“You…you actually had sex with Miss Yue…” Wang Xiaofeng’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Although he had never met Yue Lingshan, he had been wandering the martial arts world for many years and knew that this former head of the Huashan Sect was the apple of his eye and was said to be a beautiful woman.

Now that he heard that this young lady had also been won over by Nie Yun, how could he not be shocked?

“Does Miss Ling know about your affair with Miss Yue?” Wang Xiaofeng asked. He really wanted to see Nie Yun looking troubled so that he could feel a little better.

“Of course I know.”

Nie Yun said nonchalantly, “Besides, she knows about not only my junior sister, but also about another Miss Qu who’s with me. So what?”

“There’s one more?”

Wang Xiaofeng was devastated; he simply couldn’t believe his ears.

He felt it was impossible to overcome Shui Sheng alone, but he never expected that Nie Yun would be so relaxed with three beautiful women by his side.

In that instant, only one thought crossed his mind: “Comparison is the thief of joy!”

Seeing his jaw almost drop, Nie Yun patted him on the shoulder and said, “Brother Wang, why are you so surprised? What’s so strange about a man having three wives and four concubines?”

Wang Xiaofeng was startled and quickly said, “Sect Leader Nie, no, Brother Nie, you’re too amazing! The apple of the eye of the Huashan Sect Leader, the daughter of the Prefect of Jingzhou, and another beauty are all vying for your attention!”

“Hehe…” Nie Yun smiled slightly, “Brother Wang also has Miss Shui by his side, doesn’t he?”

Hearing this, Wang Xiaofeng deflated like a punctured balloon. He turned around and leaned against the railing, saying weakly, “I’ve used all the methods you taught me on my cousin before, but you saw it at the dinner table just now. Although she no longer glares at me, she’s nothing compared to how sweet and loving you and Miss Ling are!”

“Well, that is indeed a bit difficult.”

Nie Yun shook his head and said, “She still has the matter of Master Shui in her heart. If we want her to open up and resolve her inner conflict, it will probably take more time.”

Wang Xiaofeng grew increasingly frustrated as he listened, slamming his fist on the railing. He said angrily, “Although I was the one who struck first that day, it was because those people were spewing vulgarities and leering at my cousin. I simply couldn’t tolerate it any longer. If I hadn’t acted, I wouldn’t be a man. But who would have thought it would cause my uncle’s injuries to relapse, and ultimately lead to the poison attacking his heart…”

Nie Yun said with a face full of agreement, “Yes, Brother Wang was only trying to protect the reputation of Miss Shui and Hero Shui, but he was blamed like this. It’s really a bit unfair!”

Upon hearing Nie Yun’s words, Wang Xiaofeng immediately felt that he had spoken to his heart and felt a sense of kinship.

At this point, Nie Yun continued, “Master Shui, look at what he said back then! He actually told me to take good care of Miss Shui! Wasn’t that a clear indication that he didn’t trust you, Brother Wang? You are clearly Master Shui’s personal disciple and Miss Shui’s future husband. I was extremely embarrassed at the time, so I could only pretend not to hear. Brother Wang, please don’t hold a grudge against me for this!”

Wang Xiaofeng felt a bit annoyed when he recalled Shui Dai’s attitude towards him before her death. However, Nie Yun’s words eased his resentment towards Nie Yun, because Nie Yun had indeed not made any promises that day and had even gone out of his way to help him with his plans, which improved his relationship with Shui Sheng.

He nodded and said, “Brother Nie is very sincere to me, of course I understand.”

Nie Yun shook his head and said, “I only hope that lovers can be together in the end, but judging from Miss Shui’s attitude now, I’m afraid Brother Wang still has a lot of trouble to suffer! However, sincerity can move mountains. As long as Brother Zhu persists, I believe that Miss Shui will definitely change her mind and smile at you again.”

After hearing Nie Yun’s words, Wang Xiaofeng began to imagine Shui Sheng calling him “cousin” in a sweet voice again, and being gentle with him in every way.

“However…” Nie Yun looked at Wang Xiaofeng’s hopeful smile, then suddenly changed the subject, “Brother Wang is also a talented man, and quite famous in the martial arts world. If others saw you fawning over your cousin like this every day, it might affect your reputation! Those who know the truth would praise your deep affection, while those who don’t might laugh at you for having a strange habit. In that case, the title of ‘The Twin Swordsmen of Bell and Sword’ for Brother Wang and Miss Shui…” Nie Yun shook his head as he spoke, a look of regret on his face.

Wang Xiaofeng’s expression suddenly became quite interesting. For a man, being afraid of his wife is never something to be proud of.

Especially in ancient times when men were superior to women, the reputation of being afraid of one’s wife was enough to make people laugh their heads off.

At this moment, Wang Xiaofeng felt quite caught in a dilemma. If he didn’t try to please Shui Sheng, the rift between them would only deepen. If he did try to please Shui Sheng, what would he do if others saw him chasing after his cousin like a lapdog?

At this moment, he saw Nie Yun, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly grabbed Nie Yun’s hand and said, “Brother Nie, since you can have three flowers by your side, you must have quite a few skills in the art of seducing women. Could you give me some advice?”

“This…” Nie Yun looked troubled and said hesitantly, “No… I don’t have any special methods, it’s just a sincere heart.”

Wang Xiaofeng refused to believe it. Just by looking at how obedient Ling Shuanghua was to Nie Yun, he knew that Nie Yun must have some special methods. Otherwise, how could he make a young lady from a prominent family so infatuated?

“Brother Nie, since you also hope that my cousin and I can reconcile, wouldn’t you at least share some of your experience?” Wang Xiaofeng said, unwilling to give up.

Nie Yun hesitated for a moment, then, as if making a great decision, said, “Very well, since I get along so well with you, Brother Wang, I can’t just stand by and watch you and Miss Shui become lovers. Do you know what a woman’s heart follows?” Wang Xiaofeng looked puzzled and guessed, “Jewelry?” Nie Yun shook his head, “No.” Wang Xiaofeng scratched his head and continued to guess, “Wealth and power.”

Nie Yun continued to shake his head, “That’s completely wrong.”

Wang Xiaofeng tried to speak several times but was rejected each time. Finally, he said impatiently, “Brother Nie, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly!”

Nie Yun looked around, then said in a very low voice, “A woman’s heart follows her body; whoever her body belongs to, her heart belongs to!”

“What?” Zhu Xiaofeng exclaimed in surprise, “You mean…”

Nie Yun nodded and said, “Only by making it a fait accompli can you make Miss Shui completely obedient to you.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaofeng immediately wanted to refute, but then he thought for a moment and asked Nie Yun, “Could it be that Miss Ling and Miss Yue have already…” Nie Yun nodded, a slightly embarrassed expression on her face, “When feelings are intense, it is truly difficult to restrain oneself. It was only by a twist of fate that things turned out this way.”

Wang Xiaofeng remained silent. Although he was determined to have Shui Sheng, he never thought of making a secret engagement before marriage.

Now, after hearing Nie Yun’s instigation, he couldn’t help but hesitate.

Seeing this, Nie Yun deliberately advised, “Brother Wang, I think you should just bear with it. In the future, you can just live comfortably behind closed doors. Why care about what others think?”

Wang Xiaofeng’s expression kept changing, his hands clenched into fists, and he was torn between his inner thoughts and his own.

“Besides, Miss Shui only has you in her heart. Even if she becomes distant, it will only be temporary. Do you think anyone else will take advantage of the situation?”

Nie Yun made a joke, but it successfully made Wang Xiaofeng’s face turn very ugly.

“Given Miss Shui’s personality, even if others fawn over her, it will all be in vain. Brother Wang will definitely win the beauty’s heart.”

Nie Yun added fuel to the fire without making a sound.

During this time, Ling Shuanghua and Shui Sheng became very close friends because they shared the same plight, and Nie Yun also learned a lot from Ling Shuanghua.

In fact, Shui Dai’s apprentice was not only Wang Xiaofeng, but because they were relatives, he had the advantage of being close to Shui Sheng and thus became even closer to her.

He has several fellow disciples, and among a group of men, Shui Sheng is the only girl, and a great beauty at that. How could he not have feelings for her?

Previously, it was only because Shui Dai had always been happy for the two of them to get together, and Wang Xiaofeng was considered one of the best among his fellow disciples, so no one dared to show any ulterior motives, but they still often found opportunities to curry favor with Shui Sheng.

Shui Sheng herself is a very easygoing girl with a cheerful and lively personality. Although she won’t do anything intimate, she will never keep people at arm’s length, giving off a bit of the feeling of a princess leading a group of knights.

She had several disagreements with Wang Xiaofeng because of this. Wang Xiaofeng was aware of what his fellow disciples were thinking, but Shui Sheng felt that they were all her father’s disciples and that she should not show favoritism to any of them.

Now, after being pointed out by Nie Yun, Wang Xiaofeng immediately felt a sense of crisis. He thought to himself, “Although my uncle’s death was due to a relapse of his injuries, I am still somewhat involved. If this knot in my heart isn’t untied, my cousin’s attitude towards me will remain lukewarm. When I go back this time, those bastards will definitely see the problem and will surely flock to my cousin to fawn over her. If my cousin is confused at that time, she might really change her mind.”

Nie Yun smiled and “kindly” advised, “Girls are mostly soft-hearted. If you say a few nice words, she will definitely change her mind. As the saying goes, even a strong woman can be won over by a persistent suitor. I think we can reach Wuhan the day after tomorrow. When she gets home and sees her relatives, friends and fellow disciples, her mood should improve. She definitely won’t give Brother Wang a hard time anymore.”

“Feeling better? I’m afraid she’ll just forget about me, her cousin!” Wang Xiaofeng felt increasingly insecure, as if Shui Sheng would leave him at any moment.

“Alright, Brother Wang, it’s getting late, you should go and get some rest!”

Nie Yun turned to leave, but was stopped by Wang Xiaofeng.

“Brother Nie… I don’t know, how… how can this be made into a fait accompli?” Wang Xiaofeng made a tough decision, one that would cause him to lose Shui Sheng completely.

“Huh? Brother Wang, what are you doing…” Nie Yun said with a surprised look, “No, I was just talking nonsense, please don’t take it seriously!”

Wang Xiaofeng shook his head and said resolutely, “My cousin has become very distant from me. If things continue like this, I’m afraid things will get complicated. Brother Nie, please do me a favor and help me out this time.”

Seeing Wang Xiaofeng’s resolute expression, Nie Yun sighed, “Alright, seeing Brother Wang so devoted yet constantly met with cold indifference from Miss Shui, it truly breaks my heart. Tomorrow at dinner…” He whispered something in Wang Xiaofeng’s ear, causing Wang’s expression to shift repeatedly until he finally looked at Nie Yun as if he were a monster.

Finally, Nie Yun solemnly instructed, “Brother Wang, this matter is known only to Heaven, Earth, you, and me; it must never be revealed!”

Wang Xiaofeng nodded, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he said, “Brother Nie, you and Miss Ling might have to work a bit tomorrow, so please persuade my cousin to have a few more drinks for me!”

Nie Yun hesitated for a moment, then said, “Well…”

Wang Xiaofeng quickly said, “Brother Nie, you know how my cousin treats me. If you weren’t here, I’m afraid she wouldn’t even acknowledge me!”

Nie Yun thought for a moment and nodded, saying, “If that’s the case, then we’ll still have dinner at the same table tomorrow night. I’ll ask Shuanghua and I to offer Miss Shui a few more drinks then.”

Wang Xiaofeng was overjoyed and quickly said to Nie Yun, “Thank you for your kindness, Brother Nie. When my cousin and I get married, I will definitely toast you with a glass of wine.”

Nie Yun waved his hand and said, “Brother Wang, there’s no need for this. I couldn’t bear to see you constantly troubled by love, so I resorted to this tactic.”

After saying that, he shook his head and said, “It’s really not a shameful thing to talk about. Luckily, Miss Shui and you are in love with each other, otherwise it would be harming someone!”

He turned and walked toward the cabin, sighing as he went.

Wang Xiaofeng watched his retreating figure, a sinister smile creeping across his lips.

Nie Yun arrived at Ling Shuanghua’s room and gently pushed open the door. He saw that the bedding on the large bed by the window was raised and undulating slightly.

He gently lifted the blanket, revealing the beautiful scenery that had been hidden.

Ling Shuanghua’s eyes were closed, her long eyelashes covering her eyelids, her slightly messy hair clinging to her rosy lips, and her beautiful face radiating peace and tranquility.

Nie Yun gently touched her chin and chuckled, “Little lazybones!”

Seemingly sensing that she had been disturbed, Ling Shuanghua hummed in response and rolled over to lie flat on her back.

Although the room was dark, Nie Yun could still clearly see the snow-white skin faintly visible through the thin gauze nightgown.

Nie Yun gently lifted her skirt, revealing two jade-like thighs. At the base of her thighs was a thin pair of underpants, neatly covering her full, mounded vulva.

He couldn’t resist lowering his head and kissing Ling Shuanghua’s thigh, then unbuttoned his clothes and gently climbed onto the bed.

Amidst Ling Shuanghua’s steady breathing, he gently kissed the girl’s cherry-like lips, while Ling Shuanghua remained quietly asleep, unresponsive.

Nie Yun spread Ling Shuanghua’s legs apart, slipped his fingers into the gap of her panties, slid them back and forth along the fleshy cleft a few times, gently parted her labia, and inserted his middle finger. The wet and warm touch made his penis instantly hard.

“Actually… date rape is quite interesting!” he chuckled to himself.

Ling Shuanghua’s breathing began to quicken. She was sober that she let out a soft moan as she was stimulated by the teasing from her lower body, and her legs involuntarily curled up a few times.

The girl, who already had experience, seemed to return to those nights that brought her ecstasy in her dreams, and her honey pot gradually became wet and hot.

Nie Yun took his hand out, then gently pulled on the waistband and slowly pulled the panties off her thighs. He then spread her legs apart and slowly inserted his already hard and almost bursting penis into the girl’s honey hole.

“…Ah, so good!” This feeling of being gradually invaded made the intoxicating pleasure even more intense, as the layers of tender flesh tightly enveloped his penis.

Nie Yun thrust all the way in, his glans pressing directly against the tender flower core. Ling Shuanghua frowned at the intense stimulation, her eyelids trembled a few times, and in her hazy state, she felt a heavy weight pressing down on her body, with something hot and hard inserted into her lower body.

The girl slowly opened her eyes, startled. Nie Yun quickly kissed her lips. Ling Shuanghua then realized that it was her lover stealing her kiss in the night, and she was filled with shyness, sobbing softly.

Nie Yun didn’t care about anything else. Now that he was awake, he let loose and started moving his lower body rapidly.

“Ah… Brother Yun… you… you’re so bad…” Ling Shuanghua’s voice was broken by Nie Yun’s thrusting. Her long, beautiful legs were wrapped around Nie Yun’s waist, and her two slender arms were tightly wrapped around his neck. When his penis was inserted, her red and tender labia were brought into her honey hole, making Ling Shuanghua let out a low moan.

As the penis was pulled out, the tender flesh inside the vagina turned inside out, causing the girl to unconsciously lift her buttocks slightly, preparing to receive the next thrust.

“Hehe… It’s so late… and I still came to your bed to serve you, you little ingrate, and you still say I’m bad!”

As Nie Yun thrust in and out, he teased the beauty beneath him, “You should reward me properly, you know? Just like last time!”

“You…you want to…ah…don’t think about it…ah…be gentle…” Ling Shuanghua pounded on Nie Yun’s shoulder, but the force was so great that it probably couldn’t even kill an ant.

Nie Yun stopped talking and buried himself in his work, desperately trying to get to work. The sounds of flesh slapping against flesh grew faster and faster, and Ling Shuanghua’s groans and Nie Yun’s panting became increasingly rapid.

After a long while, Ling Shuanghua let out a high-pitched, sharp groan, but it quickly turned into a muffled whimper. Then the bed suddenly began to shake rapidly, creaking and groaning loudly a dozen times, followed by a low growl from Nie Yun…

The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.

The wind and waves are calm.

Nie Yun held the girl’s sweaty body in his arms and lay there comfortably.

Ling Shuanghua lay on Nie Yun’s chest, gently poking his body with her small hand.

“You bad guy, you bad guy, why are you bothering me in the middle of the night instead of sleeping!” The girl pouted and kept muttering, but the happy smile on her lips made her muttering very cute.

Nie Yun took that smooth, white hand and kissed it gently. “When we have dinner tomorrow night, Brother Wang should apologize to Miss Shui. We’ll put in a good word for him.”

Upon hearing this, Ling Shuanghua’s gossipy nature was immediately piqued, and she excitedly asked, “Really? That’s great! The storm has finally passed for them!”

Nie Yun smiled slightly and said with a double meaning, “Yes, that’s why we must help Brother Wang and make his wish come true!”
