After Nie Yun showed off his skills, all the disciples of Shui Dai agreed without hesitation to become disciples of the Huashan Sect.

A few days later, Nie Yun returned to Mount Hua with Ling, Shui, and many disciples. Shi Qing and Min Rou also took Shi Zhongjian with them.

“Sect Leader Nie’s Huashan swordsmanship must have reached a state of perfection!” Shi Qing said to Nie Yun from his horse with admiration.

“Not at all, not at all. My skills are far inferior to those of my master and mistress; it’s just a matter of practice making perfect,” Nie Yun said modestly. “You two have risked countless dangers to earn the illustrious reputation of the ‘Black and White Twin Swords’ in the martial world! I am but a novice, and there are many things I still need to learn from seniors like you!”

“Strong yet not arrogant, prosperous yet not reckless. Such talent is truly rare!” Shi Qing secretly admired in his heart.

Min Rou, along with Shi Zhongjian and Ling Shui, sat in the carriage, chatting happily. Min Rou looked at the two women; one was gentle and elegant, the other lively and cute, and she liked them more and more the more she looked at them.

Shi Zhongjian stared at the two women with wide, curious eyes. He had never seen such beautiful girls since he was born!

From the conversation, Min Rou also learned about how Nie Yun and the two women met and fell in love.

When she heard that Nie Yun was willing to risk serious injury to cure Ling Shuanghua’s poison, her heart trembled.

No normal woman can remain unmoved by a man who is willing to sacrifice his life for her; even someone else’s story can deeply move her.

Otherwise, why would those melodramatic romance novels be so popular with women? To put it bluntly, it’s just like how men enjoy reading harem novels—it’s all about fantasizing and satisfying their cravings.

Min Rou gently lifted the carriage curtain and looked at Nie Yun and Shi Qing riding side by side outside the carriage. The flutter in her heart that had often appeared since she met Nie Yun once again rose up.

“Would my senior brother do this to me? Probably… I am his wife, I raised his children, helped him with the housework, and we have been together for more than ten years…” Min Rou tried to convince herself, but she kept thinking about what Shui Sheng had said earlier: Back then, Brother Nie and I were just friends, but he did not hesitate to force out the poison and heal my wounds, without any regard for his own safety.

“If my senior brother and I hadn’t gotten married, would he have sacrificed himself for me? Or would he have chosen Mei Fanggu?”

Finding Shi Zhongjian made Min Rou extremely happy, but it also stirred up a long-buried unease in her heart—there was a woman who was better than her in every way, and she loved Shi Qing very madly!

Shi Qing also hesitated back then and did not choose him firmly from the beginning.

“If it were Nie Yun, what would he do?” Min Rou was startled by the sudden thought in her mind. She quickly lowered the carriage curtain, covered her slightly burning cheeks with her hands, and felt a surge of shame.

“Aunt Min, what’s wrong?” Shui Sheng asked curiously as Shi Zhongjian and Ling Shuanghua looked at her with questioning expressions.

“No…it’s nothing. I’m just a little dizzy from sitting in the car for too long.”

Min Rou made up an excuse, thinking to herself, “What’s wrong with me? How could I have such a shameless thought?”

Min Rou took a few deep breaths, making up her mind to adopt Nie Yun as her godson. She felt that once this title was established, she wouldn’t have such wild thoughts anymore.

*****

During a rest stop along the way, Shui Sheng said to Nie Yun, “Brother Nie, Aunt Min seems to really like you. She kept asking us about you on the way here. I heard she wants her two children to learn from you and become upright men!”

“I don’t care about anything else, as long as you like me!” Nie Yun looked around, then quickly leaned over and kissed her cheek.

“Ah!” Shui Sheng quickly stepped back, covering the spot where she had been kissed with her small hands, her pretty face flushing red.

At this moment, Ling Shuanghua also came over. She asked curiously, “Sister Shui, why is your face so red?” Shui Sheng was even more embarrassed. She gave Nie Yun a coquettish glare and quickly turned and ran away.

“Brother Yun, what’s wrong with Sister Shui?” Ling Shuanghua asked, completely bewildered. “Is she sick?”

“Well, come closer, and I’ll tell you,” Nie Yun said, feigning seriousness.

Ling Shuanghua, unaware of the trap, stepped forward.

Nie Yun’s lips curled into a smile as he pulled the girl into his arms. Ling Shuanghua was startled and before she could react, her lips were sealed tightly by Nie Yun’s large mouth, and her slender waist was also held firmly, leaving her completely unable to move.

After the girl realized what was happening, she struggled to move her soft body in Nie Yun’s arms, but this resistance only brought Nie Yun more enjoyment.

Nie Yun held Ling Shuanghua’s fragrant lips in his mouth, then probed inside to suck on her delicate tongue, his mouth watering with pleasure.

After a while, he released Ling Shuanghua and said with a grin, “Now you know why she blushed, right?”

Once Ling Shuanghua caught her breath, she shoved him away forcefully and ran off.

Nie Yun stroked his chin, pondering the question, “Why is she asking about me? Does she have a crush on me and want to cheat on me? Even though I’m incredibly handsome, I shouldn’t be that extreme!”

Nie Yun thought shamelessly.

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

After setting off again, Min Rou got out of the carriage and rode a horse, while Shi Zhongjian and Shi Qing rode together on the same horse.

Shi Qing said he would teach Shi Zhongjian to ride a horse, and then he gradually slowed down, so that only Nie Yun and Min Rou were left riding side by side in front of the group.

Nie Yun squinted, sensing that something seemed amiss.

Min Rou suddenly spoke up unintentionally: “Sect Leader Nie, please don’t mind what Jian’er said that day. That child doesn’t understand anything.”

Nie Yun smiled and said, “Miss Min, you don’t need to be so polite. He is simple, kind, and pure of heart. Everyone would like such a person.”

Min Rou was silent for a while, then said, “If I hadn’t seen you missing your family that night on Mount Hua, I would never have imagined that you had such a sad story.”

Nie Yun was a little confused, but immediately put on a sorrowful and nostalgic expression and shook his head, saying, “The past is gone. I never expected that my momentary lapse in composure would make Lady Min remember it so much.”

Looking at Nie Yun’s expression, Min Rou hesitated for a moment before speaking again.

“You’re actually not much older than Yu’er, so you don’t have to keep calling me Lady Min. I once said that if you don’t mind, you can call me Auntie, or even treat me as your family.”

Nie Yun became more and more confused as he listened, but he knew that Min Rou was expressing her desire to be closer to him.

He rolled his eyes and sighed, “Actually, in my heart, I have always regarded you as a respected elder. Especially seeing your loving heart towards Junior Brother Zhongyu and Junior Brother Jian, I think if my mother were still alive, she would definitely love me just like you do.”

Min Rou was overjoyed upon hearing this and turned to look at Nie Yun, asking, “Is that really what you think?”

Looking at her delighted eyes, Nie Yun thought to himself, “What the hell is going on? Why does she like me thinking of her as old?”

He looked at Min Rou, and the same amazed expression he had used to bewitch her when they first met reappeared on his face.

Min Rou felt uncomfortable under his gaze and asked, “Nie Yun, as if caught spying, quickly turned his head and said, “No…nothing. I just think you look quite young. If you said you were my elder, well…no one would believe it.”

Looking at Nie Yun’s slightly disheveled appearance, Min Rou suddenly recalled the first time she met Nie Yun at the restaurant. When he saw her, he had the same expression as just now, and he couldn’t help but praise her beauty.

“Ah!” Min Rou’s heart pounded, feeling a mix of shyness, surprise, and a touch of pride.

The two turned their heads to one side and fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Min Rou said, “I…I want you to become sworn brothers with Jian’er and Yu’er. Are you willing?”

Nie Yun hesitated and said, “Of course I would like to have more brothers. Brother Jian is fine, but Junior Brother Zhongyu is a disciple of Huashan. As the sect leader, if we have this relationship, I will definitely be strict with him in everything and will not relax in the slightest. Otherwise, I’m afraid it will cause gossip.”

Min Rou was taken aback. Last night, she had only thought about the benefits of adopting Nie Yun as her godson, and had not considered his status as the sect leader.

Seeing her hesitant expression and recalling what she had said before, Nie Yun had a guess in his mind, so he asked, “Does Master Shi know about this?”

When Si Minrou heard Nie Yun mention her husband, she couldn’t help but recall Shi Qing’s disappointed look towards Shi Zhongyu.

Now that she has found Shi Zhongjian, she has begun to reflect on her own behavior of spoiling Shi Zhongyu too much because of the loss of her young son.

After thinking it over, Min Rou finally made up her mind and said to Nie Yun, “Of course he knows about this, and he also wants the three of you to get closer so that you can be friendly and help each other in the future, sharing joys and sorrows.”

“Heh…you’ve got a good plan!” Nie Yun sneered inwardly. He had completely guessed Min Rou’s intentions.

However, he didn’t care. Min Rou was already on his “seduce” list anyway, and if they became godmother and son, they could get closer.

Besides, calling someone “Mom” or “Son” is exciting—oops! It’s also very intimate, isn’t it?

Thinking of this, Nie Yun nodded and said, “In that case, I will inform my master’s wife after I return to Mount Hua. If she does not object, then…”

Nie Yun hesitated for a moment, then continued, “Then I’m also very happy to have a few more relatives!”

Min Rou was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly said, “Good child, you are so kind. I will personally talk to Madam Yue.” Nie Yun nodded and said, “Okay.”

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

That night, the group of people went to an inn to stay.

Min Rou told Shi Qing about what happened during the day, and Jing laughed and said, “That child may seem mature and composed, but when he talked about having more relatives at the end, he actually got a little shy!”

Shi Qing was also very happy. He nodded and said, “After all, you’re still just a kid under twenty! Junior sister, thank you for your hard work on this!”

Min Rou smiled and shook her head, saying, “It’s all for Jian’er and Yu’er. Besides, I quite like that child. If we really adopt him as our godson, it would be a blessing.”

“Hahaha… It’s rare for my junior sister to say she likes another man. If he were ten years older, I’d be jealous!” Shi Qing joked, in a good mood.

“Senior brother, why are you talking nonsense!” Min Rou felt embarrassed by these words, but she also felt a little uneasy.

“If he were ten years older…” Thinking of Nie Yun’s handsome appearance and charming demeanor, Min Rou’s heart suddenly stirred.

Shi Qing could never have imagined that Nie Yun didn’t need to be ten years older, and that his beautiful and virtuous wife had already begun to change.

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

After traveling for several days, the group finally arrived at the foot of Mount Hua.

Looking at the precipitous peaks of Mount Hua, Nie Yun couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions. This was the first time he had been away for so long, and for a moment he felt a sense of trepidation, as if he were returning home.

Well, he brought back two women after just one trip, so he couldn’t help but feel intimidated.

Sure enough, after they arrived at the mountain, Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan greeted everyone with smiles, but they barely glanced at him.

Nie Yun touched his nose and obediently went back to his room.

A short while later, Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan came to his room together. As soon as they entered, they looked at him coldly without saying a word.

Nie Yun felt uneasy under their gazes. He raised his hands and said with a wry smile, “My two ladies, I was wrong. I was a womanizer. I was a bastard. You can hit me or scold me all you want, but there’s one thing: don’t hit my lower body or my upper body. That’s where your happiness for the rest of your lives lies!”

Ning Zhongze bit her lip and remained silent.

Yue Lingshan came to his side, circled him a few times, and finally whispered in his ear, “Sect Leader Nie, is this what you meant by ‘must do’ before you left the mountain?”

Nie Yun felt the soft flesh around his waist being pinched and twisted by the girl’s small hands. His face twitched, and he cried out, “Ouch! My darling Shan’er, stop pinching me! If you keep pinching me, it’ll rot!”

Looking at his pitiful appearance, Yue Lingshan knew that there was some pretense, but her heartache still prevailed, and she let go of his hand.

Nie Yun quickly grabbed the two women, one in each arm, and begged for mercy, making all sorts of promises and sweet words, which finally made them look a little better.

Ning Zhongze helplessly punched his chest and sighed, “Alright, stop making faces! I knew you wouldn’t behave yourself once you went out, but I didn’t expect there to be two of you this time. You really are…” She shook her head, a resentful look on her face.

“Bad senior brother! Stinky senior brother! Liar senior brother! Perverted senior brother! Heartless senior brother!” Yue Lingshan pouted and kept hitting his palm with her small hand, muttering to herself as she hit him.

“I’m doing this so you won’t have to work too hard. You forgot that last time none of the three of you satisfied me!” Nie Yun said with a grin.

“Pah!” The two women rolled their eyes in unison. Nie Yun chuckled, hugged the two women even tighter, and recounted the events that had occurred during their descent down the mountain.

Of course, stories need to be adapted, just like wives need to be coaxed.

Thus, Ling Shuanghua, who was seeking revenge because her father separated the lovers, and Shui Sheng, who almost lost her virginity because her cousin turned evil, successfully aroused the sympathy of the two women. The shameless Nie also received many kisses and tears because he had suffered internal injuries.

Nie Yun expressed his satisfaction with this; the “Hidden Dragon Hunting Heart Technique” is something you’ll only know once you use it.

“By the way, where’s Feifei? I haven’t seen her.” Nie Yun had felt something was missing since she came back, and now she realized that the chattering little devil hadn’t come out to greet her.

Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan exchanged a glance, both showing signs of worry.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen to Feifei?” Nie Yun asked hurriedly, her heart tightening.

Ning Zhongze said, “The day before yesterday, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, Lan, came up the mountain again and gave Feifei a letter, saying it was from some kind of Holy Maiden. After reading the letter, Feifei was restless and talked with the leader of the sect for a long time in the house. The next day, she was going to go down the mountain with the leader of the sect. No matter how much Shan’er and I asked, she wouldn’t say why, only that she was going to save someone.”

Yue Lingshan continued, “I said I’d talk to you when you got back, but she said it was too late and asked me to give you this letter.”

As he spoke, he pulled a letter from his side. Nie Yun took it, opened it, and saw lines of neat handwriting: “Brother Nie, Feifei is going down the mountain to rescue Grandpa. Don’t worry, I have friends to help me, I’ll be back in a few days. Feifei”

“Holy Maiden? Heh… Ren Yingying, Ren Yingying, I’m actually going to have to deal with you so soon!” Nie Yun thought to himself after reading the letter.

Who else could be called the Holy Maiden by Lan Fenghuang, besides Ren Yingying who lives in seclusion in Green Bamboo Lane in Luoyang?

Very well, it’s time to go and meet this Miss Ren!

Nie Yun came to his senses and said to Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan, “Don’t worry, Feifei is very clever, and I have opened up all her meridians. I wouldn’t say she is invincible, but she has enough strength to protect herself.”

Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan were relieved after hearing Nie Yun’s words.

After finishing his business, Nie Yun’s lust was aroused again. He put his arms around the two women’s slender waists, kissed each of them on the cheek, and laughed, “Long time no see, tonight we’ll test how sturdy this big bed is!”

The two women were both ashamed and angry. They pushed him back and ran out without looking back.

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

In the evening, Huashan hosted a banquet to welcome Nie Yun and the others.

During the meal, Shi Qing and Min Rou formally introduced their lost and found young son, Shi Zhongjian, to everyone.

Everyone who saw the two brothers, who looked like twins, was amazed.

However, Shi Zhongyu didn’t seem to be in a very good mood, and his gaze towards Shi Zhongjian wasn’t very friendly.

Nie Yun observed this and secretly made a mental note of it.

Then, Nie Yun talked about the dozen or so disciples he had brought back, which greatly pleased Ning Zhongze.

Since Nie Yun became the sect leader, the Huashan Sect has been growing stronger. First, the Sword Sect returned, then the divine skills were passed down, and now there are more than a dozen disciples who have joined with their skills. Compared with the era of Yue Buqun, it has been completely transformed and reborn.

As for Ling and Shui, they had already started chatting with Yue Lingshan. On the way, Nie Yun had told them about his woman, so the two women naturally knew that Yue Lingshan’s status was extraordinary. In addition, since they were all newcomers, they certainly wouldn’t do anything foolish.

After the incident with Qu Feiyan, Yue Lingshan matured a lot and became very warm towards the two women, displaying the demeanor of a mature wife.

Over the next few days, Nie Yun finished dealing with all the backlogged affairs before leaving, and then considered each of the dozen or so new disciples, categorizing them into inner and outer disciples according to their aptitude and martial arts skills.

Shi Qing and Min Rou also mentioned to Ning Zhongze their idea of ​​adopting Nie Yun as their godson. After asking Nie Yun’s opinion, Ning Zhongze agreed.

And so, on an auspicious day, Nie Yun formally became the godfather and godmother of Shi Qing and Min Rou, and also became the sworn brother of Shi Zhongyu and Shi Zhongjian.

Looking at the two brothers bowing and kowtowing to him, Nie Yun smiled and thought to himself, “Good brothers, just wait and see, I’ll fuck your mother!”
