At the moment when the married woman was overwhelmed by ecstasy and fainted, Ying Long was just waking up on the street.
At the moment when the wife fainted in ecstasy, it was precisely the instant Yinglong woke up on the cold street.
Born a martial arts fanatic, he sprang up from the icy stone slab, shook his head in confusion, and moved his limbs, finding nothing amiss. Yinglong couldn’t help but laugh at himself, thinking he must have drunk too much strong liquor to suddenly pass out on the street.
“Ugh!” The burly man let out a drunken belch, his heavy footsteps heading towards the inn, quickly forgetting the scene that had just transpired.
Days continued to pass, and the rogue lived a carefree and happy life, as if he had returned to Liubang Town. The only thing that troubled him was the condition of the night woman, as despair began to swirl in her eyes.
Just as Qiao San thought he had been forgotten by Gou Yuan and was enjoying himself, the summons from the state preceptor arrived.
“Husband, the state preceptor commands you to enter the palace immediately!”
Gui Ji, like a virtuous wife, straightened Qiao San’s collar while also advising him like a strategist: “Gou Yuan is no ordinary person. Your actions may deceive others, but they will never deceive her. Be careful in your dealings!”
At the same time, in the princess’s residence adjacent to the Nine Nether Palace.
With a gentle wave of her jade fan and water sleeves, the princess’s trusted informant respectfully retreated. The princess then smiled and approached the meditation chamber where the Roc Demon King was cultivating.
“Great King, the time has come. Proceed as planned!”
Qiao San once again encountered the ever-changing Gou Yuan. The rogue, whose powers had greatly advanced, focused his pupils, and his field of vision suddenly narrowed. Though his eyes were clouded with mist, a vague shadow miraculously appeared in his mind.
A slender and tall figure, with elegantly tied hair, yet her face remained unclear, only a hint of classical beauty could be sensed. At that moment, the clouds around Gou Yuan accelerated, and the image in Qiao San’s mind vanished instantly.
The rogue couldn’t help but sigh in regret; such an opportunity for “sneak attack” would never come again! At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel puzzled; this vague shadow gave him a sense of déjà vu, but no matter how he searched his mind, he couldn’t find the answer!
The colorful radiance followed Gou Yuan’s footsteps. The woman was as beautiful as a flower on the outside, but as venomous as a snake on the inside. With a subtle glance, she couldn’t help but view the rogue in a new light. Facing Qiao San, Gou Yuan no longer felt in complete control!
The Ten Sun Pearl truly lived up to its reputation, but alas, it was not obtained. Sigh…
Each harboring their own schemes, after the usual insincere pleasantries, Gou Yuan generously said, as if she were truly Qiao San’s friend: “Brother Bold, Gou Yuan will order the release of General Ying. You have worked hard on this journey. Please taste the Heavenly Spring Immortal Tea I have personally prepared for you.”
Her voice was like a heavenly melody, warm and penetrating. At that moment, Qiao San couldn’t help but secretly wonder if this woman truly intended to harm him!
“Brother Bold, I wonder where the Snow Lotus is. Could you let me have a look?”
In all the world, only Gou Yuan herself dared to refer to herself as “little woman”!
Though Qiao San’s powers had soared, under Gou Yuan’s pressure, he still found it hard to breathe. While forcibly sealing his thoughts, he flipped his palm, revealing a thousand-year-old Snow Lotus!
“State Preceptor, this is the ten-thousand-year-old Snow Lotus. Bold has not failed in his mission!” The essence of a rogue is to be shameless, and lying through one’s teeth is his specialty.
Such a small trick naturally couldn’t deceive the state preceptor of the underworld, but Gou Yuan acted as if she truly couldn’t tell the difference between a thousand and ten thousand years. She smiled faintly, took the Snow Lotus, and then said in a playful tone: “Brother Bold, thank you! Gou Yuan has suddenly become greedy. I wonder if you could give me another ten-thousand-year-old Snow Lotus? Hehe…”
With a change in tone, Gou Yuan’s laughter suddenly stirred Qiao San’s heartstrings. “Gou Yuan will not take Brother Bold’s gift for nothing. Here, I will tell you a piece of news as a token of my gratitude!”
Qiao San’s intuition made him tense. With Gou Yuan’s status, she would never joke around. With a glance, he gave her a silent affirmation.
Gou Yuan looked up at the sky outside the window and said softly with a smile: “Brother Bold, if you hurry back to the inn as fast as possible, you should still make it in time. Gou Yuan does not want to be accused of being the murderer!”
“Ah—”
The exclamation still echoed in the state preceptor’s residence, but the figure of the Rebel Saint was already a hundred zhang away. Even then, he felt it was too slow. With a thought, he summoned the divine bird.
In the Nine Nether City inn, just as Gou Yuan had said, it was a scene of flashing swords and chaos.
The fox women’s guards were no match for the sudden attack of a masked shadow. The Fox Queen, Gui Ji, and the female demon rushed from three sides, just in time to see the enemy carrying the sleeping night woman through the wall.
The mysterious assassin chanted a spell, and a gust of wind rose from the ground, causing the three women to stagger in the strong wind.
“Behold my treasure!” Gui Ji raised her hand, and the Mystic Wind Cauldron rapidly enlarged, heading straight for the shadow’s head.
A burst of light exploded above the shadow’s head. The mysterious enemy’s hand instantly became enormous, blocking the Mystic Wind Cauldron with his bare hand. The Fox Queen’s Primordial Heaven Net also joined the fray. Though it failed to trap the opponent, her fox claws took the opportunity to tear through the air, shredding the enemy’s mask into pieces.
The shadow lowered his head, covered his face, and fled, no longer interested in the fight.
“I recognize him; he’s a demon general from the state preceptor’s residence!”
The cloud beneath the shadow’s feet was unusually fast. The Fox Queen and the others could only watch in despair, powerless. At that moment, a bird’s cry came from the horizon, and a fiery red figure rose with the sun, a man and a bird flying out of the dawn, a majestic and magical sight.
Alas, such a dreamlike scene was utterly ruined by a crude curse: “Damn it, daring to plot against this young master, you must have a death wish!”
The ancient phoenix spat true fire, blocking the shadow’s path. The rogue leaped off the bird’s back, his palms vibrating, venting his anger through the most primitive form of combat.
Seeing Qiao San appear, the women cheered in unison. With the Rebel Saint’s skills, naturally, he could handle an unknown assassin.
“Boom—”
The clash of palms startled the women. The thin assassin was actually evenly matched with Qiao San, neither gaining the upper hand.
“Ha, ha…” The shadow let out a triumphant laugh and fled in another direction. Though he couldn’t gain an advantage over Qiao San, escaping from him was as easy as turning his hand.
“Ugh!” The burly man let out a drunken belch and walked heavily toward the inn, soon forgetting the entire episode.
At the moment when the wife fainted in ecstasy, it was the exact instant Yinglong woke up on the street.
A born martial arts fanatic, he sprang up from the cold stone slab, shook his head in confusion, and moved his limbs, but found nothing amiss. Yinglong couldn’t help but laugh at himself, thinking he must have drunk too much strong liquor, which caused him to suddenly pass out on the street.

Days continued to pass, and the rogue lived a carefree and happy life, as if he had returned to Liubang Town; the only thing that troubled him was the condition of the night woman, and despair was beginning to show in her eyes.
Just as Qiao San thought he had been forgotten by Gou Yuan and was enjoying himself, the summons from the state preceptor arrived.
“Husband, the state preceptor calls you to the palace immediately!”
Gui Ji, like a virtuous wife, straightened Qiao San’s collar while also advising him like a strategist: “Gou Yuan is no ordinary person. What you’ve done may deceive others, but it certainly won’t deceive her. You must be careful!”
At the same time, in the princess’s mansion next to the Nine Nether Palace.
With a gentle wave of her jade fan and water sleeves, the princess’s trusted informant respectfully retreated, and the princess of the underworld then approached the alchemy room where the Peng Demon King was meditating.
“Great King, the time has come. Proceed as planned!”
Qiao San once again met the ever-changing Gou Yuan. The rogue, whose powers had greatly advanced, focused his pupils, and his field of vision suddenly narrowed. Although his eyes were filled with mist, a vague shadow miraculously appeared in his mind.
A slender and tall figure, with elegantly tied hair, yet her face remained unclear, only a hint of classical beauty could be felt. At that moment, the clouds around Gou Yuan accelerated, and the image in Qiao San’s mind vanished instantly.

The colorful radiance flew with Gou Yuan’s steps. The woman was as beautiful as a flower on the outside but as venomous as a snake on the inside. With a subtle glance, she couldn’t help but look at the rogue with newfound respect. Facing Qiao San, Gou Yuan no longer felt in control!
The Ten Sun Pearl truly lived up to its reputation, but unfortunately, it was not obtained. Sigh…
Each harboring their own schemes, after the usual insincere pleasantries, Gou Yuan generously said, as if she were truly Qiao San’s friend: “Brother Bold, Gou Yuan will order the release of General Ying. You’ve worked hard on this journey; please try the Heavenly Spring Immortal Tea I prepared for you.”
Her voice was like a heavenly melody, warm and penetrating. At that moment, Qiao San couldn’t help but doubt whether this woman really intended to harm him!
“Brother Bold, where is the snow lotus? May I have a look?”
In the world, only Gou Yuan herself dared to call herself a “little girl”!
Although Qiao San’s powers had soared, under Gou Yuan’s pressure, he still found it hard to breathe. While forcefully sealing his thoughts, he flipped his palm, revealing a thousand-year snow lotus!
“State Preceptor, this is the ten-thousand-year snow lotus. Bold has not failed in his mission!” The essence of a rogue is to be shameless, and lying with open eyes is his specialty.
Such a small trick naturally couldn’t deceive the state preceptor of the underworld, but Gou Yuan acted as if she truly couldn’t tell the difference between a thousand-year and a ten-thousand-year snow lotus. She smiled faintly, took the snow lotus, and then said in a playful tone: “Brother Bold, thank you! Gou Yuan has suddenly become greedy. Could you give me another ten-thousand-year snow lotus? Hehe…”
With a change in tone, Gou Yuan’s laughter suddenly stirred Qiao San’s heartstrings. “Gou Yuan won’t take Brother Bold’s gift for nothing. Let me tell you some news as a token of my gratitude!”
Qiao San’s intuition made him tense. With Gou Yuan’s status, she wouldn’t joke around. With a glance, he gave Gou Yuan a silent affirmation.
Gou Yuan looked up at the sky outside the window and said softly with a smile: “Brother Bold, if you hurry back to the inn as fast as possible, you should still make it. Gou Yuan doesn’t want to be accused of being the murderer!”
“Ah—”
The exclamation was still echoing in the state preceptor’s mansion, but the figure of the Heaven-Defying Sage was already a hundred feet away. Even that wasn’t fast enough for him; with a thought, he summoned the divine bird.
In the Nine Nether City inn, just as Gou Yuan had said, chaos reigned with swords and shadows everywhere.
The fox women’s guard couldn’t stop the sudden attack of a masked black figure. The Fox Queen, Gui Ji, and the female demon rushed from three directions, just in time to see the enemy carrying the sleeping night woman through the wall.
The mysterious assassin chanted a spell, and a gust of wind rose from the ground, causing the three women to stagger in the strong wind.
“Watch this!” Gui Ji raised her hand, and the Mystic Wind Cauldron rapidly enlarged, heading straight for the black figure.
A burst of light exploded above the black figure’s head, and the mysterious enemy’s palm instantly became enormous, blocking the Mystic Wind Cauldron with just his bare hand. The Fox Queen’s Primordial Heaven Net also joined the fray. Although it didn’t trap the opponent, her fox claws took the opportunity to tear through the air, shredding the black cloth covering the enemy’s face in an instant.
The black figure lowered his head, covered his face, and fled, no longer interested in the fight.
“I recognize him; he’s a demon general from the state preceptor’s mansion!”
The cloud beneath the black figure’s feet was unusually fast, and the Fox Queen and the others could only watch helplessly. At that moment, a bird’s cry came from the horizon, and a fiery red figure rose with the sun, a man and a bird flying out of the dawn, a majestic and miraculous sight.
Unfortunately, such a dreamlike scene was utterly ruined by a crude curse, “Damn it, you dare to mess with me, you idiot who doesn’t want his balls!”
The ancient phoenix spat true fire, blocking the black figure’s path. The rogue leaped off the bird’s back, his palms vibrating, venting his anger in the most primitive hand-to-hand combat.
Seeing Qiao San appear, the women cheered. With the Heaven-Defying Sage’s skills, naturally, he could handle an unknown assassin.
“Boom—”
The clash of palms shocked the women; the thin assassin was actually evenly matched with Qiao San.
“Ha, ha…” The black figure let out a triumphant laugh and fled in another direction. Although he couldn’t gain an advantage over Qiao San, escaping from him was as easy as pie.
Just when Qiao San thought he had been forgotten by Gou Yuan and was enjoying himself heartily, the national master’s summons arrived.
“Husband, the national master has summoned you to the palace immediately!”
While adjusting Qiao San’s collar like a dutiful wife, Gui Ji also reminded him in a low, strategist-like tone, “Gou Yuan is no ordinary person. What you’ve done might fool others, but it certainly won’t fool her. Be extremely cautious in how you handle this!”
At the same time, inside the princess’s mansion right next to the Jiuyou Palace.
With a light flick of her jade fan and flowing sleeves, the princess dismissed her trusted informants respectfully. The princess of the region then cheerfully approached the alchemy chamber where the Peng Demon King was meditating.
“Great King, the time has come. Everything is proceeding as planned!”
Qiao San once again stood before the ever-changing Gou Yuan. His demonic powers significantly enhanced, Qiao San’s pupils constricted, his vision suddenly narrowing. Though his eyes were clouded, his heart strangely conjured a vague image.
A slender, tall figure, with elegantly simple hair, unfortunately still with her face obscured, gave off an aura of classical beauty. Just then, the mist around Gou Yuan swirled faster, and the image in Qiao San’s mind vanished instantly.
Qiao San couldn’t help but inwardly sigh at the missed opportunity. Such a “sneak attack” would never come again! He couldn’t help but feel puzzled as well—the vague figure gave him a sense of familiarity, but no matter how hard he searched his mind, he couldn’t find the answer.
Colorful light danced with Gou Yuan’s steps. A woman outwardly as beautiful as a flower, inwardly as venomous as a snake, she secretly took a second glance at Qiao San, impressed. Facing Qiao San, Gou Yuan no longer felt in control of everything!
The Seven-Sun Pearl truly lived up to its reputation, a pity it wasn’t obtained, sigh…
The two, each with their own hidden agendas, exchanged the usual insincere pleasantries before Gou Yuan, acting like a good friend to Qiao San, generously said, “Brother Da Dan, Gou Yuan will immediately order the release of General Ying. You’ve worked hard on this journey; please try this Tianquan Immortal Tea I’ve personally prepared for you.”
Her voice was like celestial music, warm and touching the heart. At that moment, Qiao San couldn’t help but doubt—could this woman really want to harm him?
“Brother Da Dan, may I ask where the snow lotus is? I’d love to see it for myself.”
In all the world, only she dared to refer to Gou Yuan as “little lady.”
At the very moment the bewitching wife fainted in ecstasy, Yinglong awoke on the cold street.
The natural-born martial fanatic sprang up from the icy stone slab, shook his head in confusion, and stretched his limbs, finding nothing amiss. Yinglong couldn’t help but chuckle at himself, thinking he must have drunk too much strong liquor to have suddenly passed out on the street.
“Ugh!” The burly man let out a drunken belch, his heavy footsteps heading towards the inn, quickly forgetting the recent episode.
Days continued to pass, and the rogue lived a carefree and happy life, as if he had returned to Liubang Town. The only thing that troubled him was the condition of the night woman, as despair began to swirl in her eyes.
Just as Qiao San thought he had been forgotten by Gou Yuan and was enjoying himself, the imperial summons from the Grand Tutor arrived.
“Husband, the Grand Tutor summons you to the palace immediately!”
Gui Ji, like a virtuous wife, straightened Qiao San’s collar while whispering a reminder like a strategist, “Gou Yuan is no ordinary person. Your actions may deceive others, but they will never deceive her. Be careful!”
At the same time, in the princess’s residence adjacent to the Nine Nether Palace.
With a gentle wave of her jade fan and water sleeves, the trusted informant respectfully retreated, and the princess of the underworld arrived at the alchemy room where the Peng Demon King was meditating.
“Your Majesty, the time has come. Proceed as planned!”
Qiao San once again encountered the ever-changing Gou Yuan. With his greatly enhanced powers, his pupils contracted sharply, his field of vision narrowing. Though his eyes were clouded with mist, a blurry figure miraculously appeared in his mind’s eye.
A slender and tall figure, with elegantly tied hair, yet her face remained indistinct, only a hint of classical beauty could be sensed. At that moment, the mist around Gou Yuan swirled faster, and the image in Qiao San’s mind vanished instantly.
The rogue couldn’t help but sigh in regret; such a “sneak peek” opportunity would never come again! At the same time, he was puzzled, as the blurry figure gave him a sense of déjà vu, but no matter how hard he searched his memory, he couldn’t find the answer!
The colorful radiance followed Gou Yuan’s steps. The woman was as beautiful as a flower on the outside but as venomous as a snake inside. With a subtle glance, she couldn’t help but view the rogue in a new light. Facing Qiao San, Gou Yuan no longer felt in complete control!
The Ten Sun Pearl truly lived up to its reputation, but alas, it was not obtained. Sigh…
Each harboring their own schemes, after the usual insincere pleasantries, Gou Yuan, as if truly a friend of Qiao San, generously said, “Brother Bold, Gou Yuan will order the release of General Ying immediately. You’ve worked hard on this journey. Please try the Heavenly Spring Immortal Tea I prepared for you.”
Her voice was like a heavenly melody, warm and penetrating. For a moment, Qiao San couldn’t help but wonder if this woman really intended to harm him!
“Brother Bold, where is the snow lotus? Could you let me have a look?”
In all the world, only Gou Yuan herself dared to call herself a “little girl”!
Though Qiao San’s powers had soared, under Gou Yuan’s pressure, he still found it hard to breathe. While forcibly sealing his thoughts, he flipped his palm, revealing a thousand-year snow lotus!
“Grand Tutor, this is the ten-thousand-year snow lotus. Bold has not failed his mission!” The essence of a rogue is to lie through his teeth, and this was his specialty.
Such a small trick naturally couldn’t deceive the Grand Tutor of the underworld, but Gou Yuan, strangely, seemed unable to distinguish between a thousand-year and a ten-thousand-year snow lotus. With a faint smile, she accepted the snow lotus and then said in a playful tone, “Brother Bold, thank you! Gou Yuan has suddenly become greedy. Could you gift me another ten-thousand-year snow lotus? Hehe…”
With a shift in tone, Gou Yuan’s laughter suddenly stirred Qiao San’s heartstrings. “Gou Yuan won’t take Brother Bold’s gift for nothing. Here, let me share some news with you as a token of my gratitude!”
Qiao San’s intuition made him tense. With Gou Yuan’s status, she wouldn’t joke around lightly. With a glance, he gave her a silent affirmation.
Gou Yuan looked up at the sky outside the window and said softly with a smile, “Brother Bold, if you hurry back to the inn as fast as you can, you might still make it. Gou Yuan wouldn’t want to be accused of being a murderer!”
“Ah—”
The exclamation still echoed in the Grand Tutor’s residence as the Saint of Reversal’s figure was already a hundred zhang away. Even that wasn’t fast enough for him; with a thought, he summoned the divine bird.
Inside the Nine Nether City inn, just as Gou Yuan had said, chaos reigned with swords and shadows everywhere.
The fox woman guards couldn’t stop the sudden attack of a masked shadow. The Fox Queen, Gui Ji, and the bewitching woman rushed from three directions just in time to see the enemy carrying the sleeping night woman through the wall.
The mysterious assassin chanted a spell, and a gust of wind rose from the ground, causing the three women to stagger in the gale.
“Take this!” Gui Ji raised her hand, and the Xuan Wind Cauldron rapidly enlarged, aiming to cover the shadow.
A burst of light exploded above the shadow’s head, and the mysterious enemy’s palm instantly grew enormous, blocking the Xuan Wind Cauldron with his bare hand. The Fox Queen’s Primordial Heaven Net also joined the fray. Though it failed to trap the opponent, her fox claws took the opportunity to tear through the air, shredding the shadow’s mask into pieces.
The shadow lowered his head, covering his face, and fled without further engagement.
“I recognize him; he’s a demon general from the Grand Tutor’s residence!”
The shadow’s cloud was unusually fast, and the Fox Queen and the others could only watch helplessly. At that moment, a bird’s cry came from the horizon, and a fiery red figure rose with the sun, a man and a bird flying out of the dawn, majestic and miraculous.
Alas, such a dreamlike scene was utterly ruined by a crude curse, “Damn it, daring to mess with this young master, you must have a death wish!”
The ancient phoenix spat true fire, blocking the shadow’s path. The rogue leaped off the bird’s back, his palms striking out, venting his anger in the most primal form of combat.
Seeing Qiao San appear, the women cheered. With the Saint of Reversal’s skills, naturally, he could handle a nameless assassin.
“Boom—”
The clash of palms startled the women. The skinny assassin was evenly matched with Qiao San, neither gaining the upper hand.
“Ha, ha…” The shadow let out a triumphant laugh and fled in another direction. Though he couldn’t gain an advantage over Qiao San, escaping from him was as easy as turning his hand.
“National Master, this is the ten-thousand-year snow lotus. I’m honored to have successfully retrieved it,” the rogue in him took over, boldly lying with his eyes wide open.
Such a small trick naturally couldn’t fool the national master of the region, but oddly enough, Gou Yuan seemed genuinely unable to tell the difference between thousand-year and ten-thousand-year varieties. She smiled faintly, accepted the snow lotus, and then playfully said, “Thank you, Brother Da Dan! Gou Yuan is feeling greedy all of a sudden. Would you be willing to give me another ten-thousand-year snow lotus? Hehe…”
Her tone suddenly shifted, and her playful laughter startled Qiao San’s heartstrings. “Gou Yuan won’t take Brother Da Dan’s gift for nothing. How about this—I’ll give you a piece of information as a token of my feelings!”
Qiao San’s instincts made him tense. Someone of Gou Yuan’s status wouldn’t make idle jokes. With a glance, he silently signaled his agreement.
Gou Yuan glanced at the sky outside the window and softly, sweetly said, “Brother Da Dan, if you head back to the inn at your fastest speed, you should still make it in time. Gou Yuan wouldn’t want to be accused of being a murderer!”
“Ahh—”
The exclamation still echoed in the National Master’s mansion when the figure of the Saint Lord had already vanished over a hundred zhang away. Still dissatisfied with his speed, he summoned his divine bird with a mere thought.
Inside the inn in Jiuyou City, exactly as Gou Yuan had said, chaos erupted with flashing swords and blades.
At the very moment the bewitching wife fainted in ecstasy, Yinglong awoke on the cold street.
The born martial arts enthusiast sprang up from the icy stone slab, shook his head in confusion, and stretched his limbs, finding nothing amiss. Yinglong couldn’t help but chuckle at himself; it seemed he had drunk too much strong liquor, which had caused him to suddenly pass out on the street.
“Ugh!” The burly man let out a drunken belch, his heavy footsteps heading towards the inn, quickly forgetting the recent incident.
Days continued to pass, and the rogue lived a carefree and happy life, as if he had returned to Liubang Town. The only thing that troubled him was the health of the night woman, and despair was beginning to show in her eyes.
Just as Qiao San thought he had been forgotten by Gou Yuan and was enjoying himself, the summons from the state preceptor arrived.
“Husband, the state preceptor commands you to enter the palace immediately!”
Gui Ji, like a virtuous wife, straightened Qiao San’s collar while also advising him like a strategist: “Gou Yuan is no ordinary person. Your actions may deceive others, but they will never deceive her. Be careful!”
At the same time, in the princess’s mansion next to the Nine Nether Palace.

“Your Majesty, the time has come. Proceed as planned!”
Qiao San once again encountered the ever-changing Gou Yuan. The rogue, whose magical power had greatly increased, focused his pupils, and his field of vision suddenly narrowed. Although his eyes were filled with mist, a vague shadow miraculously appeared in his mind.
A slender and tall figure, with elegantly tied hair, but unfortunately, her face remained unclear, only a hint of classical beauty could be felt. At that moment, the clouds around Gou Yuan accelerated, and the image in Qiao San’s mind instantly disappeared.

In the Nine Nether City inn, as Gou Yuan had said, it was a scene of flashing swords and chaos.
The fox maiden guards were no match for the sudden attack of a masked shadow. The fox queen, Gui Ji, and the bewitching woman rushed from three directions, just in time to see the enemy carrying the sleeping night woman through the wall.
The mysterious assassin chanted a spell, and a gust of wind rose from the ground, causing the three women to stagger in the strong wind.
“Take this!” Gui Ji raised her hand, and the Xuan Wind Cauldron rapidly enlarged, covering the shadow’s head.
A burst of light exploded above the shadow’s head, and the mysterious enemy’s palm instantly became enormous, blocking the Xuan Wind Cauldron with just his bare hand. The fox queen’s Primordial Heaven Net also joined the fray. Although it failed to trap the opponent, her fox claws took the opportunity to tear through the air, shredding the enemy’s mask in an instant.

The cloud beneath the shadow’s feet was unusually fast, and the fox queen and the others could only watch helplessly. At that moment, a bird’s cry came from the horizon, and a fiery red figure rose with the sun, a man and a bird flying out of the dawn, majestic and magical.
Unfortunately, such a dreamlike scene was utterly ruined by a crude curse, “Damn it, daring to mess with me, you fool without balls!”
The ancient phoenix spat true fire, blocking the shadow’s path. The rogue leaped off the bird’s back, his palms vibrating, venting his anger in the most primitive form of combat.
Seeing Qiao San appear, the women cheered. With the Saint of Reversal’s skills, naturally, he could handle an unknown assassin.
“Boom—”
The clash of palms shocked the women; the skinny assassin was evenly matched with Qiao San, neither gaining the upper hand.
“Ha, ha…” The shadow let out a triumphant laugh and fled in another direction. Although he couldn’t gain an advantage over Qiao San, escaping from him was as easy as flipping a palm.
The mysterious assassin chanted a spell, and a gust of wind rose from the ground, nearly knocking the three women off balance in the fierce wind.
“Watch my treasure!” Gui Ji shouted, waving her hand. The Xuanfeng Cauldron rapidly expanded, rushing down upon the shadow.
A burst of light exploded above the shadow’s head. The mysterious enemy’s hand instantly grew enormous, blocking the cauldron with bare hands. The Fox Queen’s Yuanhe Net, unwilling to be outdone, although unable to trap the opponent, used the opportunity to slash through the air with her fox claws, tearing the enemy’s black mask into shreds.
The shadow lowered his head, covered his face, and fled without hesitation.
“I recognize him—he’s one of the National Master’s demon generals!”
The cloud beneath the shadow’s feet moved extraordinarily fast, leaving the Fox Queen and others helpless to chase. Just then, a bird cry echoed from the sky. A red flame rose with the sun, and a man and bird seemed to fly out of the morning glow, majestic and miraculous.
Unfortunately, such a breathtaking scene was completely ruined by a crude catchphrase. “Damn it! Daring to mess with my people, you bastard must not want your balls anymore!”
The ancient immortal bird spat true fire, blocking the shadow’s escape route. The rogue pushed off the bird’s back, soared into the air, and with both palms swinging, unleashed his fury in the most primal way.
Upon seeing Qiao San appear, the women couldn’t help but cheer. With the Saint Lord’s skills, naturally, he could handle an obscure assassin.
“Boom—”
The clash of bare hands startled the women. The small, deadly assassin actually matched Qiao San blow for blow, evenly matched.
At the very moment the bewitching wife fainted in ecstasy, it was also the instant Yinglong woke up on the cold street.
The martial arts fanatic sprang up from the icy stone slab, shaking his head in confusion and stretching his limbs, yet finding nothing amiss. Yinglong couldn’t help but laugh at himself, thinking he must have drunk too much strong liquor to have suddenly passed out on the street.
“Ugh!” The burly man let out a drunken belch, his heavy footsteps heading towards the inn, quickly forgetting the recent episode.
Days continued to pass, and the rogue lived a carefree and happy life, as if he had returned to the town of Liubang. The only thing that troubled him was the health of the night maiden, as despair began to swirl in her eyes.
Just as Qiao San thought he had been forgotten by Gouyuan and was enjoying himself, the summon from the Grand Tutor arrived.
“Husband, the Grand Tutor commands you to enter the palace immediately!”
Gui Ji, acting both as a dutiful wife straightening Qiao San’s collar and as a strategist, whispered a warning, “Gouyuan is no ordinary person. What you’ve done might fool others, but it certainly won’t fool her. Be very careful!”
At the same time, in the princess’s mansion adjacent to the Nine Nether Palace.
With a gentle wave of her jade fan and water sleeves, the princess’s trusted informant respectfully retreated. The princess then cheerfully entered the alchemy room where the Great Roc King was meditating and cultivating.
“Your Majesty, the time has come. Let’s proceed as planned!”
Qiao San once again encountered the ever-changing Gouyuan. As his magical powers had greatly advanced, his pupils contracted sharply, and his field of vision suddenly narrowed. Although his eyes were clouded with mist, a vague shadow miraculously appeared in his mind’s eye.
The figure was slender and tall, with elegantly tied hair, yet her face remained indistinct, only faintly exuding a classical beauty. Just then, the mist around Gouyuan swirled faster, and the image in Qiao San’s mind vanished instantly.
The rogue couldn’t help but sigh in regret, such an opportunity for a “sneak peek” would never come again! He was also puzzled, as the vague shadow gave him a sense of déjà vu, but no matter how hard he searched his memories, he couldn’t find an answer.
As Gouyuan walked, a kaleidoscope of colors followed her. Though her appearance was as beautiful as a flower, her heart was as venomous as a snake. With a subtle glance, she couldn’t help but view the rogue in a new light. Facing Qiao San, Gouyuan no longer felt in complete control.
The Ten Sun Pearl truly lived up to its reputation, but alas, it was not obtained. Sigh…
Each harboring their own schemes, after the usual insincere pleasantries, Gouyuan generously said, as if truly a friend of Qiao San, “Brother Bold, Gouyuan will order the release of General Ying. You’ve worked hard on this journey, please try the celestial spring tea I’ve personally prepared for you.”
Her voice was like a heavenly melody, warm and penetrating. For a moment, Qiao San couldn’t help but doubt whether this woman truly intended to harm him.
“Brother Bold, where is the snow lotus? May I have the honor to see it?”
In all the world, only Gouyuan herself dared to refer to herself as a “little lady.”
Though Qiao San’s magical powers had soared, under Gouyuan’s pressure, he still found it hard to breathe. Forcing himself to seal his thoughts, he flipped his palm, revealing a thousand-year snow lotus.
“Grand Tutor, this is the ten-thousand-year snow lotus. Bold has not failed in his mission!” The rogue’s essence was that of a scoundrel, and lying through his teeth was his specialty.
Such a small trick naturally couldn’t deceive the Grand Tutor of the Nether Realm, but Gouyuan, as if truly unable to distinguish between a thousand and ten thousand years, smiled faintly and accepted the snow lotus. Then, in a playful tone, she said, “Brother Bold, thank you! Gouyuan has suddenly become greedy. Could you perhaps gift me another ten-thousand-year snow lotus? Hehe…”
Changing the subject, Gouyuan’s laughter suddenly struck a chord in Qiao San’s heart. “Gouyuan won’t take Brother Bold’s gift for nothing. Here, let me share some news with you as a token of my gratitude.”
Qiao San’s intuition made him tense. With Gouyuan’s status, she wouldn’t jest idly. With a glance, he gave Gouyuan a silent affirmation.
Gouyuan looked up at the sky outside the window and said softly with a smile, “Brother Bold, if you hurry back to the inn as fast as you can, you might still make it. Gouyuan wouldn’t want to be falsely accused of murder!”
“Ah—”
The exclamation still echoed in the Grand Tutor’s mansion as the figure of the Heaven-defying Saint was already a hundred zhang away. Even that wasn’t fast enough for him, and with a thought, he summoned the divine bird.
Inside the Nine Nether City inn, chaos reigned as Gouyuan had predicted.
The fox maiden guards were no match for the sudden attack of a shadowy figure. The Fox Queen, Gui Ji, and the bewitching maiden rushed from three directions just in time to see the enemy carrying the sleeping night maiden through the wall.
The mysterious assassin chanted a spell, and a gust of wind rose from the ground, causing the three women to stagger in the gale.
“Take this!” Gui Ji raised her hand, and the Mystic Wind Cauldron rapidly enlarged, heading straight for the shadow’s head.
A burst of light exploded above the shadow’s head, and the mysterious enemy’s hand suddenly grew enormous, blocking the Mystic Wind Cauldron with his bare palm. The Fox Queen’s Primordial Heaven Net also joined the fray, though it failed to trap the opponent, her fox claws managed to tear the shadow’s mask into shreds.
The shadow lowered its head, covering its face, and fled without further engagement.
“I recognize him, he’s a demon general from the Grand Tutor’s mansion!”
The shadow’s cloud was unusually fast, and the Fox Queen and the others could only watch helplessly. Just then, a bird’s cry came from the horizon, and a fiery red figure rose with the sun, a man and a bird flying out of the dawn, majestic and miraculous.
Alas, such a dreamlike scene was utterly ruined by a crude curse, “Damn it, daring to mess with this young master, you must be out of your mind!”
The ancient phoenix spat true fire, blocking the shadow’s path. The rogue leapt from the bird’s back, his palms vibrating, venting his anger through the most primal form of combat.
Seeing Qiao San appear, the women cheered in unison. With the Heaven-defying Saint’s skills, naturally, he could handle an unknown assassin.
“Boom—”
The clash of palms startled the women. The skinny assassin was evenly matched with Qiao San, neither gaining the upper hand.
“Ha, ha…” The shadow let out a triumphant laugh, turning to flee in another direction. Though he couldn’t gain an advantage over Qiao San, escaping from him was as easy as turning his hand.
