All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 215 Ladies first
"So your next task is—training!"

Wang Gan readily agreed.
The time is ripe. He possesses Ryukyu Island, has no shortage of money and food, and has ample armor. In addition, he currently enjoys the prestige of the Holy Emperor in the Central Plains. Furthermore, with the military talents of Kou Zhong and others, he is capable of training an elite army that can dominate the world!

"You've already mastered most of the martial arts; the rest is just a matter of gradual practice. But to conquer the world, the orthodox way is to use an army to sweep through!"

"Kou Zhong, Ziling, are you two confident?"

Wang Gan looked at the twin dragons.
The two dragons immediately straightened their chests and raised their heads, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Although they came from humble backgrounds, they had high aspirations and wanted to one day make a name for themselves and achieve great things!
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Wang Gan nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Ba Feng Han.

"Feng Han..."

Ba Feng Han's eyes were firm, and his face still showed a hint of defiance.

It's just training; he'll definitely do a better job than the two dragons!
Indeed, in the original work, he formed alliances and led his troops in the battles of Helianbao and Benlangyuan, severely damaging the Golden Wolf Army of Jieli Khan. His military talent was no less than his martial arts skills.

"Your mission is more arduous; I need you to assume another position in the army. Imperial Envoy!"

Wang Gan said earnestly,
"You will serve as my representative, spreading my thoughts and my kindness throughout the army!"

"From generals to soldiers, everyone must be able to recite the 'Biography of the Holy Emperor' by heart! And everyone must be loyal to me without exception!"

Upon hearing this, Ba Feng Han immediately raised his hand, his expression solemn.

"Zhongcheng!"

The next morning, Wang Gan left the Dongming ship and headed west, heading straight for the Pegasus Ranch.

This time, Wang Gan came alone. Shan Wanjing did not come with him, mainly because she was not convinced and did not want to be outdone by the Shuanglong group. She also wanted to learn civil administration and martial arts to prepare to become an empress.

Shan Meixian was willing to accompany and serve the Holy Emperor, but Wang Gan refused.

Unlike before, he is now the focus of the world's attention, a thorn in the side of all forces. There may be grandmasters or heavily armed ambushes along his path.
Wang Gan can move freely on his own, but if he brings one or two burdens along, it's hard to say.

Helpless, seeing Shan Meixian's slightly disappointed expression, she could only serve the Holy Emperor with increasing passion every midnight, tossing and turning in bed, using all the moves she had learned in the Demonic Sect.

Wang Gan hadn't gone far when he calmly walked along the official road, only stopping suddenly in the middle of the road.

"You've been following me for so long, why haven't you shown up yet?"

Wang Gan spoke calmly.
Sure enough, a graceful and slender figure floated over, smiling radiantly, her tone carrying a hint of ingratiation.

"Holy Emperor..."

The woman was actually Bai Qing'er.

Since the last time Bian Bufu was brought out, Wang Gan had let her off the hook. To be precise, he had been too busy to notice her. After all, there were so many women in the Tang Dynasty. Even now, Wang Gan had six or seven women by his side, which made it difficult for him to keep up.

"It's you? You sneak around like that. I let you go last time, are you trying to ambush me again this time?"

Wang Gan was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Bai Qing'er had secretly followed them.

"Holy Emperor, last time you asked me to lure out Bian Bufu, but that has already made me betray the Yin Kui Sect... Empress Yin will definitely not let me go."

"I'm all alone now, and I can't go anywhere."

Bai Qing'er's tone was melancholic, yet her expression was alluring and pitiful.

"We can only wag our tails and beg for food from you, Holy Emperor."

Wang Ganqi said,

"You helped me lure Bian Bufu out, wasn't that your own choice? Why are you asking me to take responsibility?"

Bai Qing'er's lips twitched.
Your incredible palm strike landed right on my bangs, how could I possibly say no?

However, Bai Qing'er has also come to understand Wang Gan's style of doing things these days. She knows that Wang Gan is extremely domineering and shameless. She cannot go against him, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Last time, I was indeed captivated by the Holy Emperor at first sight, and I was willing to do things for him."

Bai Qing'er pouted, almost bursting into tears, making her even more pitiful and charming.

"Since I have already done so much for the Holy Emperor, shouldn't I have a place by his side?"

Wang Gan chuckled.
"I think you're not old, but you don't speak the truth much."

The tea ceremony practiced by this demonic sect is indeed both green and tea-like.

Wang Gan didn't care about these details. Having such a beauty by his side wasn't a bad thing. With Bai Qing'er's martial arts skills, even if she had ulterior motives, he could suppress her with a single blow.

"However, I really need two people to serve me tea and water along the way."

Bai Qing'er bowed gracefully, appearing very respectful, and showed no objection to Wang Gan's disdain.

"Yes, Holy Emperor."

"but."

Bai Qing'er was somewhat puzzled.
"What does the Holy Emperor mean by the 'two' tea-serving maids he mentioned?"

Could it be that someone secretly followed the Holy Emperor out?
Wang Gan smiled meaningfully.
"Because I just asked you to come out, not called you."

Bai Qing'er's expression changed slightly. If it wasn't her, then who could it be?!
"As expected, nothing could hide it from His Majesty the Holy Emperor."

A silvery laugh rang out, light and melodious, yet it made Bai Qing'er's expression change, because she was all too familiar with the owner of that female voice.

A woman in a white dress walked gracefully towards them. She appeared to be eighteen or nineteen years old, with stunning beauty, flowing black hair, snow-white skin, and a curvaceous figure.
Beneath her skirt, a pair of flawless, crystal-clear bare feet, seemingly large enough to be held in one hand, stepped onto the uneven ground, yet remained spotless.

Exquisite beauty, dressed in white, barefoot—this woman was none other than Wanwan, the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect.

"I am Wanwan, and I have been ordered by the Yin Houshi to serve the Holy Emperor as the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect."

As she spoke, Wanwan walked towards Wang Gan with a graceful bow, like a butterfly among flowers or a fairy on the water, every move filled with the captivating magic of the Yin Kui Great Technique.

However, Wang Gan's reputation as the Holy Emperor was well-known. He first defeated an army of ten thousand men, then defeated the Undying Evil King, and even Empress Zhu Yuyan had to take this 'Holy Emperor' who sprang from a stone seriously.

There was nothing they could do; the Demonic Sect ruled by its fists. Wang Gan's martial arts skills were already subtly above those of a Grandmaster, so even if Empress Yin was unwilling, she had no choice but to accept this "Holy Emperor of the Holy Sect."

Of course, Empress Yin was not so unwilling, because Wang Gan had just defeated Shi Zhixuan and caused him a great loss. As Shi Zhixuan's enemy, Empress Yin was naturally willing to see this.

Therefore, Empress Yin once again dispatched her trump card—Wanwan—hoping to completely win over this Demonic Sect Holy Emperor.

On the other hand, upon seeing her senior sister arrive, Bai Qing'er's expression immediately turned ugly. The track was already very crowded, and Wang Gan was surrounded by many beauties. Given Wanwan's status and appearance, she would probably have a hard time competing with her.

Bare feet?
Wang Gan frowned. He remembered that a certain Immortal Emperor also disliked wearing shoes, and as a result, he stepped on a poisonous insect and died.
Why did you put the food on the ground?

Wang Gan's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.

Wanwan's eyes widened, and it took her a while to realize that they were talking about her jade feet.

"This Holy Emperor is truly unpredictable," Wanwan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Your Majesty may not know this, but going barefoot is excellent for cultivating internal energy. In order to avoid injuring your feet or getting them covered in mud, you have to constantly circulate your internal energy, which has an additional effect on improving your internal energy."

Wanwan spoke, a hint of smugness on her lips.

"Of course, this also requires extremely high talent; ordinary people can't cultivate using my method." Wang Gan nodded knowingly.

"I see. But just by showing a pair of jade feet, the cultivation effect is so good."

"Wouldn't it be even more impressive if we just didn't wear any clothes at all!"

Wanwan's expression froze, and she almost lost her composure.

Are you sure you're not wearing clothes for the sake of your spiritual practice?!

Pfft!

Bai Qing'er couldn't help but laugh out loud. "You've been pretending to be something you're not, but you've finally met your match with the Holy Emperor."

“I think the Holy Emperor is right. Senior Sister, you came to see the Holy Emperor dressed up, which clearly shows that you are not sincere.”

Bai Qing'er had long resented this Holy Maiden for always being one step ahead of her, so she took this opportunity to launch into a sarcastic remark.

"Ah"

Wanwan chuckled.
"So it was you, who was secretly following the Holy Emperor."

“If I hadn’t heard that you hadn’t served the Holy Emperor well enough to satisfy him, my master wouldn’t have sent me here.”

"Now that I, the Holy Maiden, have arrived, Bai Qing'er, as a disciple of Yin Kui, you may leave."

Bai Qing'er's expression changed, and she quickly moved closer to Wang Gan. Her faint fragrance and warm touch pressed against Wang Gan, her soft and elastic body full of temptation and provocation.

"Besides being a disciple of Yin Kui, my most important role now is as the Holy Emperor's maid!"

"Besides, even if we consider rank, I should be above you. Even if you are the Holy Maiden of the Holy Gate, how dare you order me around?!"

"You agree, right, Your Majesty?"

Wang Gan, feeling the delicate fragrance and softness beside him, nodded in deep agreement.
"Actually... what Bai Qing'er said makes sense. You are just a mere Holy Maiden of the Holy Sect, yet you dare to speak on my behalf?"

"Moreover, I have quite a few complaints about your Yin Kui Sect. You didn't even send the Yin Queen to serve me personally, but instead sent your disciple."

"Don't I have any dignity?!"

Wanwan narrowed her eyes, her expression turning dangerous for a moment.
Bai Qing'er has been following the Holy Emperor for so long, and while her other skills haven't improved, her seductive abilities have certainly increased considerably.

As the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, Wanwan's methods were naturally no less than Bai Qing'er's. Not to be outdone, she stepped forward and pressed herself against Wang Gan's body.

hiss!
Wang Gan gasped in shock. It was hard where it should be hard, soft where it should be soft—had the Demonic Sect's seductive arts really reached such a level?!

"With the Holy Emperor before us, what right do you, a vixen, have to speak?"

Wanwan gave a soft hum, her tone carrying a deeper meaning.

"The Holy Emperor knows in his heart who is greater and who is lesser in rank!"

Wang Gan sighed.

"Your actions are putting me in a difficult position."

Bai Qing'er is soft and sweet, while Wanwan is firm and gentle, each with her own merits and advantages, making it difficult for Wang Gan to choose.

After all, the Holy Emperor is very benevolent, loving every subject and wing around him.

"In terms of size, you are indeed evenly matched, so why don't we find another way to compare them?"

Wang Gan's face was serious.
"Should we prioritize Steamed Bun Coins? What do you think?"

"???"

Bai Qing'er and Wanwan finally lost their composure. "Wasn't that a bit too direct?!"
Is this kind of preference no longer concealed?! Even more demonic than our Demonic Sect!

For a moment, Bai Qing'er and Wanwan exchanged a glance, both showing signs of backing down.

This Holy Emperor is good, but you can't just take it for free. Those people in the Demonic Sect are all selfish and self-serving; they won't act until they see a tangible benefit.

It's fine to take advantage of a little bit of benefit, but if you lose your virginity without getting any benefit at all, then that's a lesson to be learned. The story of Empress Zhu Yuyan being abandoned by Shi Zhixuan serves as a warning.

"Ugh"

Wang Gan sighed, feeling somewhat regretful.
"Since neither of you is willing, I will not force you."

"Then let's stick to our status within the sect and let Wanwan be the eldest."

Bai Qing'er's expression immediately changed.
"no!"

She already had the advantage of striking first, and had even betrayed her sect, but now she was being overtaken by this woman.
Then her betrayal was for nothing!
Wang Gan smiled subtly, remaining impassive.
This is human nature: those in lower positions obviously want to climb higher, cherish what they already have, and may even resort to any means to achieve it.
That's why he chose to suppress Bai Qing'er, who had a lower status.

A moment later
Wang Gan nodded in satisfaction, a hint of amazement still lingering in his eyes.

No wonder Bai Qing'er is so fair-skinned!
Then Wang Gan looked at Wanwan, only to see her looking at Bai Qing'er, who was slowly getting dressed, with a complicated expression. Her eyes held a hint of admiration, but not much inferiority. It seemed that she was also confident in her abilities and not inferior to others.

But now the balance of power has shifted. The difference between big and small is ultimately a matter of stinginess versus generosity. If you are too stingy, even if you are generous, it will be in vain.

As for Wanwan's choice, Wang Gan was not surprised. As the Holy Maiden of Yin Kui, Wanwan was adored by thousands of people since childhood, so naturally she had higher aspirations and was less willing to give herself.

In contrast, Bai Qing'er's situation was much more difficult, which is why she was more willing to go all out.

However, Wang Gan was not in a hurry. As long as he guided her a little, taught Bai Qing'er a few martial arts skills, and suppressed Wanwan, would Wanwan, who had always been a saintess who looked down on others, be willing to let Bai Qing'er, whom she originally looked down on, step on her head?
Wang Gan smiled slightly.
That's the advantage of being a referee—you might win, but I'll never lose.

"Qing'er's performance was good, and I am very satisfied."

Wang Gan nodded in satisfaction.

"After that, she served me tea and water, and also warmed my bed."

Bai Qing'er remained expressionless and gave a graceful bow.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Bai Qing'er had long understood that she had no way out. She had betrayed her sect and sold out Bian Bufu. She dared not gamble on whether Empress Yin would hold a grudge against her.

She could only rely on the Holy Emperor, and even if it was just a title, she had to do everything in her power.

As for Wanwan,

Wang Gan's expression suddenly turned indifferent.

"For the sake of the Queen Mother, I won't send you away. You can stay by my side and carry a chamber pot."

Wanwan's expression was complicated. She took a deep breath.

She couldn't let go of her saintly airs, even knowing that Wang Gan's martial arts skills could easily determine the life and death of her and even her master.

"Thank you... Your Majesty the Holy Emperor."
