Me and countless me.

Chapter 514 A Strange World 3k
The Duan family's internal cultivation method, which allows them to sense each other's bloodlines.

A super Khitan who appears only once every thousand years.

Mantuo Manor, which has 103,000 martial arts books.

And the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand, which can defeat all martial arts techniques in the world.

These terms seemed strange to Li Ke, just as they seemed strange to him when he learned that his ancestors even possessed a golden mace bestowed by the late king, and that his family was also a member of the King Ranger team.

And it also made him think about something.

"Just what other masters exist in this world?"

What exactly is going on in this martial arts world?

The appearance of these terms made him feel that his numerical value was still insufficient.

Let's not get it turned out that Qiao Feng is the legendary super Khitan who can unleash fifty times the fighting power in the end!
"No, although the Duan family's internal cultivation method has many flaws, the Duan family's martial prowess is still just so-so, not particularly strong."

Li Ke rubbed his temples, somewhat unable to accept that the world had become so chaotic. But then he thought that if his father could obtain an imperial decree for his extremely abstract requests, then it was only natural that the world was a little chaotic.

For a moment, Li Ke didn't know what to do with Mu Wanqing, and Mu Wanqing's breathing became more and more rapid, which made her speak in a flustered manner.

"My internal energy circulation has become disordered after being injured by Madam Wang, so you'd better leave quickly. I... I probably can't beat you, so if you don't leave, I... I'll have to kill myself!"

Mu Wanqing felt Li Ke's inexhaustible, surging true energy. She knew very well that she could not kill Li Ke. Her master had once said that if anyone looked at her face, she would either kill that person or marry that person.

Li Ke saw her face and saved her, so she didn't want to kill Li Ke. Therefore, she kept reminding Li Ke to leave.

However, ever since she was slapped by Madam Wang, the flow of her internal energy has changed, which is why she couldn't escape their pursuit even with her prized Black Rose.

Under the influence of those drugs, the circulation of her internal energy became increasingly strange. Now, when she saw Li Ke, all she wanted to do was strip Li Ke's clothes off, but she didn't want to lose her innocence for no reason, so she kept urging Li Ke to leave.

Because she genuinely didn't want to kill such a kind person who felt familiar and dear to her!
"Huh? Getting hit can change the path of one's internal energy circulation?"

Li Ke instantly became interested. His true energy quickly came into contact with the true energy in Mu Wanqing's body and simulated its circulation within his own body for one cycle. He couldn't help but praise it.

"As expected of the owner of 103,000 martial arts books, this wondrous method of circulating internal energy is truly extraordinary. As long as a wisp of true energy is injected into the enemy's body in this way, the enemy's internal energy can be made to operate according to one's own will, and it cannot even be changed back. But unfortunately, it can only be used on those whose internal energy is weaker than one's own, however..."

Upon careful examination, he realized that the internal energy cultivation method that Madam Wang had forced Mu Wanqing to practice was extraordinary. It was not some random or inferior method, but it even had the effect of making one's body fuller and one's skin better.

However, the cost is a surge in estrogen and other hormones within a short period, and the person enters a state of being stimulated by internal energy. This is indeed not a problem that can be solved by spontaneous generation; it truly requires the nourishment of certain organs by extremely yin or yang internal energy to prevent sudden death.

Moreover, after this process ends, the person affected will become extremely obedient to the other party. Unless the person who gave the internal energy does not finish transferring the internal energy before the end, this effect will last almost permanently!
What Li Ke couldn't understand was why Madam Wang, a woman, would inflict such a blow on Mu Wanqing? Moreover, the person who created this martial art must be a highly respected master, so why would such a master develop such an unorthodox way of using martial arts?

Li Ke was completely baffled, but by the time he realized what was happening, Mu Wanqing had already stripped off most of his clothes, revealing his muscular physique.

Seeing Mu Wanqing starting to undress herself, Li Ke hurriedly spoke up.

"Miss Mu, what are you doing? What are you doing?!"

However, at this moment, Mu Wanqing, who had been forced to cultivate internal energy to its limit, could no longer control her body. She looked at Li Ke with resentment, but she could not muster any hatred for Li Ke. She only felt a sense of helplessness.

"I told you to leave... but you just wouldn't go. Sigh... is this your destiny, making me hunt you down? I guess this is fate... this is our destiny..."

She closed her eyes, but her movements remained proactive; however, due to her lack of experience, she couldn't find the correct position.

Just then, the Northern Darkness Divine Art in Li Ke's arms finally fell to the ground, and the moment it was blown by the wind, it was seen by Mu Wanqing.

"I see……"

She immediately understood everything. Feeling Mu Wanqing's body on the verge of death, Li Ke sighed and could only secretly circulate her inner energy, guiding Mu Wanqing's internal energy circulation towards the Northern Darkness Divine Art while simultaneously regulating her body to prevent her from dying suddenly.

Nothing happened that night, but the next morning, Mu Wanqing lay on top of Li Ke, her fingers gently stroking his chest, her face full of happiness.

Li Ke grabbed her hand and asked with a smile, "You're not going to kill me?"

Mu Wanqing blushed, but still pretended to be indifferent, simply turning her head away.

“I will still kill you, but I am still seriously injured and unable to kill you. Besides, you are a Duke, how can a woman like me afford to offend you and your wives?”

Li Ke was displeased upon hearing this. He immediately grabbed Mu Wanqing's hand and looked at her.

"Do you think I'm that kind of heartless scoundrel? Letting women lose their chastity and then leaving them all alone? I am a duke, not livestock. Once I inherit the dukedom, I will immediately arrange a marriage for you all! And then you'll be killing me every day in your home!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Wanqing was overjoyed, experiencing an indescribable happiness. However, when she heard Li Ke say that she should kill her, she couldn't help but raise her fist and gently pound Li Ke's chest.

"Don't talk about killing or not killing, those words sound ominous..."

After she finished speaking, she and Li Ke couldn't help but laugh together. What Li Ke found interesting was that although the strange internal energy circulation route in Mu Wanqing's body had disappeared, the effects it had brought were still there, so Mu Wanqing's figure would continue to grow for a while.

Simply put, it's a second development.

So Li Ke thought about it and decided to take Mu Wanqing with him for a while to allow her body to recover sufficiently.

Moreover, Li Ke also cared about what she had said before.

He had already witnessed the Duan family's inner cultivation method; it was indeed very unique, but not powerful enough. As for the super Khitan, he couldn't find Qiao Feng to verify it.

However, he was still able to find and verify the list of forbidden martial arts books in Mantuo Manor, wanting to see what was going on in this world and why it had become so strange.

Not only that, but Li Ke was also very concerned about what the strong women under Madam Wang had said before, because in their words it seemed that he had inextricable connections with Mantuo Manor, which puzzled him greatly.

So no matter what, Li Ke was going to visit Mantuo Villa.

However, Mu Wanqing did not intend to go to Mentos Manor. She still needed to go to her master to explain her relationship with Li Ke. So, although reluctant, the two still parted ways after traveling together for a week.

Before leaving, Li Ke gave Mu Wanqing two family heirloom jade pendants that could represent his identity. These were originally intended by his mother for her future daughter-in-law. He had brought dozens of them with him as spares, but he hadn't had time to give them to Zhong Ling before, so he asked Mu Wanqing to take them with him.

Li Ke also gave the two girls several 10,000-tael silver notes to prepare their dowries, since he believed that he would inherit the title of Duke within a year, so he wanted to give them some money to prepare a good dowry for him.

After bidding farewell with tears in his eyes, Li Ke didn't linger any longer and immediately used his light-footed skills to arrive in Suzhou in less than a day.

The scenery in Suzhou is quite nice. This wasn't Li Ke's first time here, so after arriving, he immediately asked the local officials to help check the criminal record of Mantuo Manor. He then discovered that, just as those strong women had said, Mantuo Manor really didn't have any criminal record, nor did it commit the acts of slaughtering ordinary people as described in the original novel.

Furthermore, he has always been quite low-key. Apart from acquiring various books, he sponsors scholars to take the civil service exam and asks for nothing in return. He simply asks them to help him collect various books. In fact, the main business of Mantuo Manor is selling and printing various books.

What's strange is that the lady of the house always does the work at Mantuo Manor. The man either finds a son-in-law or moves into the manor after marriage. It's a rather low-key but somewhat influential local power.

It wasn't particularly large, but it wasn't small either, which is why Li Ke hadn't noticed the existence of Mantuo Manor before.

After all, there are just too many powerful and influential families in Suzhou. Although the Wang family may seem very powerful in the eyes of people in the martial arts world, in Li Ke's eyes, without many members of the Hanlin Academy, they are ultimately just a small and insignificant family.

The only unusual thing is that everyone who has seen Wang Yuyan and Madam Wang says that the mother and daughter are almost identical, except for slight differences in their expressions and personalities, and even their eyebrows and eyelashes are the same!

This made Li Ke think of the Northern Darkness Divine Art in his arms, which contained a portrait of Li Qiushui.

"In the original novel of Tian Long Ba Bu, Li Qiushui, Wang Yuyan, and Madam Wang all look very similar, which is why Duan Yu mistook Wang Yuyan for the stone statue in the Wuliang Jade Cave. So what will happen in this strange Tian Long Ba Bu?"

So, filled with countless doubts, he strode toward Mantuo Manor.

But as he was boating on the lake, he saw Duan Yu. At that moment, Duan Yu was boating on the lake with a monk, and he seemed quite unwilling.

However, the two people's words struck Li Ke like a thunderbolt.

"Great monk! I've already said that the Duan family's inner cultivation method cannot be mastered without the Duan family bloodline! Besides, I don't like practicing martial arts, so I've never mastered the Ripple Technique, let alone the Six Meridians Divine Sword! There's no use in you capturing me!"
