Territory, Xuan Feng Mountain.
At the summit of a thousand-foot mountain peak, a vast expanse of immortal herbs swayed gently in the wind; golden light danced upon the grass tips, while jade-like brilliance shimmered atop the mountain. Remarkably, this radiant glow of gold and jade parted the chilly, dark winds, held back the black mist, and left in its wake a serene breeze and drifting white clouds. The dreamlike scenery stood in stark contrast to the mysterious, ever-shifting haze and turbulent atmosphere lingering at the mountain’s waist.
“These are the Golden Lingzhi and Jade Herbs?”
Qiao San, with his left arm wrapped around the voluptuous and transformed beauty ghost, swept his right hand through the air in astonishment, grinning slyly as he said, “So many treasures—haha, hahahaha… we’re rich!”
“Ha! Greedy ghost!” The female charm spirit nearby couldn’t help but laugh and scold playfully upon hearing this, and with a coquettish tone, the radiant flower spirit finally broke free from the oppression of her shy and alluring dream.
The ghostly maiden, now completely submissive, had already transcended from the path of vengeful spirits. Her softened spiritual form leaned weakly in Qiao San’s embrace. Her deep, enchanting eyes overflowed with affection, and her alluring body, of perfect proportions, writhed like a serpent. “My lord,” she murmured, “everything about Qiao San belongs to you… Mmm… no… don’t…”
Qiao San, merely excited, casually tightened his arms. However, three days and nights of storm and rain had already etched deeply into the ghost girl’s heart. The delicate female ghost, unable to endure further torment, instantly lost her composure and color. Her pleas, though soft and pitiful, only served to inflame the man’s desires even more.
“Brother, you should know that the eldest brother is still locked up!”
The woman’s jade-like face flushed crimson up to her ears. The peony flower spirit’s patience had also reached its limit, fearing that the enchanting scene might spread into the real world. She hastily interrupted the flirtatious exchange between the human and the ghost, casting a sly, bright glance at Qiao San.
“Oh no, we forgot about Big Brother! Hurry back to the cave!”
Pipi San finally sobered up from the beauty’s allure, rushed towards the Three-Colored Demon Cave, and shouted while looking back, “Sister Mei, it was my mistake! I’ll punish myself with three cups later and apologize to Big Brother!”
Qiao San barely met her gaze before swiftly looking away, but the female demon’s expression instantly turned pale with shock. At the mere mention of her husband’s name, the enchanting maiden hastily lowered her eyes, desperately trying to erase from her vision the image of a certain man.
Her face darkened, her heart sank, and a thick wave of shame flooded the female demon’s heart. Although there was no actual betrayal, the married spirit could not forgive herself for her previous disgrace…
Alas! Only this once, absolutely only this once. After this—there will be no after, never again!
Once the storm had passed and the killing aura had completely dissipated, Xuanfeng Mountain welcomed a rare atmosphere of joy.
“Haha…” The bold laughter filled the Three-colored Demon Cave. Ying Long and Qiao San sat side by side, and their women naturally sat together as well.
“Brother, my life was saved by you. Come on, let’s have a drink together!” Before Yingtian could finish speaking, he had already downed a large cup of fine wine.
“Brother, you’ve given that reason over a dozen times already. We brothers don’t need an excuse to drink together, hehe… Although, this liquor really isn’t bad. Let’s have another cup!”
Two burly men with matching temperaments already had piles of wine jars around them, while a group of small imps kept continuously passing up more bottles of fine wine.
The two women on the other side overheard the men’s conversation. The Three-Colored Ghost Girl blushed slightly and, raising her delicate wine cup with a sense of embarrassment, apologized in her role as Qiao San’s woman, “Brother Ying, Ghost Girl was foolish and rude to you. Please, as a magnanimous person, overlook my petty offense!”
“Oh well, ignorance is no crime! Besides, in the heat of battle between two armies, it’s not wrong for you, my younger sister, to kill me, a captured foe!”
Ying Long waved his big hand with heroic spirit, yet still felt a bit shaken and joked about himself: “Still, deep-frying me was going a bit too far, right?! Hehe, in that case, let your brother drink three cups for you!”
“Haha… Okay, okay, I’ll drink!” Qiao San couldn’t help but twist his face and stifle a laugh as he recalled the thrilling moment when Ying Long had nearly been thrown into the oil pot. His throat itched, and he almost spat out the wine in his mouth.
“My lord, this is strong wine brewed from golden fungus. You mustn’t drink too much. Perhaps you and Brother Ying should…” The resentful aura completely gone, the Ghostess became gentle and tender, her charm radiating. If not for her still-present tri-colored hair, who would believe she was once the ruthless and ferocious Tri-colored Ghost King?
Before the alluring woman could finish her words, Ying Long, already in high spirits from drinking, interrupted her. “Sister-in-law, you’re worrying too much. Not only Qiao San, even my own wife can handle three jars! Don’t believe me? Fine then, my dear wife, come here and let’s toast our brother three times together, to thank him for saving our lives.”
At this point, a hint of helplessness flickered across Ghost Princess’s smooth, jade-like face as she let out a soft chuckle. She watched in silence as her man clinked glasses with Yinglong and his wife, downing one toast after another, and chose not to intervene any further.
Alcohol bred boldness, and boldness fueled the desire for more drink. Ying Long’s innate nature as a martial arts enthusiast suddenly surged forth. Without a word, he forcefully dragged Qiao San outside for a sparring session, then returned to continue drinking—only to spar again after more drinks…
After several rounds, Ying Long was full of energy, but the lazy ruffian, unaccustomed to such intensity, could hardly keep up. Seeing Ying Long charge again, Qiao San instinctively dodged behind the female spirit and cried out, “Big Sister Mei, help me! Quick, tell Big Brother to stop—he’s going to tear me apart!”
“Husband, stop… teasing me!”
The female demon’s voice quivered mid-sentence. Whether due to deep intoxication or a momentary lapse in caution, Qiao San not only wrapped his arms around her slender waist, pulling her into an embrace, but also pressed his entire body against her back. The area between his legs happened to press precisely against the alluring curves of the enchanting flower spirit’s shapely rear, causing the female demon’s heart to pound wildly and her lips to tremble repeatedly.
The temperament of a martial arts enthusiast complements the fiery nature of strong liquor. In Ying Long’s eyes, ears, and heart, there is no room for anything else. He can’t even hear the words of the female demon, as he is solely obsessed with challenging Qiao San to a martial arts duel.
“Sister Mei, they’re drunk. Don’t worry, I have my special jade grass hangover soup… Ah…”
Ghost Ji had anticipated this and chuckled softly as she stepped out of the inner cave. To prevent the drunken antics of Qiao San and Ying Long from spreading, she took all the attendant little demons with her, leaving only the female demon to deal with the two drunkards’ mischief.
“Madam, step aside! I’m about to spar with my brother. Move quickly, or I won’t be polite!” Drunken men often lose their composure, and unable to vent his strength, Ying Long began to lose his senses.
“Dead drunkard, how dare you curse me!” If Ying Long’s innate nature as a martial arts enthusiast left the beautiful maiden both loving and resentful, then an intoxicated Ying Long made the charming lady extremely angry—and this time, she was angrier than ever before.
“Mei Jie, don’t be angry! Brother didn’t mean to do it!”
Qiao San’s drinking capacity was far inferior to Ying Long’s. Even though the Ten Yang Body was incredibly miraculous, he was already feeling dizzy and his vision was blurry. As he spoke, his legs gave way, and his entire body nearly collapsed onto the female demon’s back.
