Courtyard House: My Long and Hard Body Makes Me Play with All the Women in the Courtyard

"The secret chamber is gone, and the Shadow Mage is gone too," Su Ting briefly reported what had happened. "Now, the most important thing is to ensure everyone's safety."

Upon hearing this news, the villagers who had gathered began to whisper among themselves. "How is that possible? How could that ancient secret chamber just disappear like that?" the old village chief asked, frowning in confusion.

Aunt Li, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but add, "Yes, and what exactly was that suddenly appearing, powerful beam of light? We haven't encountered anything like this in a long time!"

Hua Yao calmed the agitated crowd, "Please don't panic, we will find out the truth as soon as possible. In the meantime, please stay in a safe place and do not go out to explore without permission."

Just then, a boy came running from a distance, panting, and said, "Something's wrong! There seems to be something strange happening in the forest to the west... Someone has detected a strange aura lingering there!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present tensed up. The children were especially frightened, clinging tightly to their loved ones and crying out that they wanted to go home.

Murong Yun immediately decided, "We'll go check the situation right away. Please ask Hua Yao to stay here and take care of the villagers, and arrange for more people to patrol."

Su Ting nodded in agreement: "That's right, we can't let unknown dangers harm innocent people."

Before leaving, they gave Hua Yao a few more instructions and quickly departed. Watching their figures gradually disappear into the distance, Hua Yao took a deep breath to calm herself and then turned to the villagers, announcing, "Listen up, everyone! We must unite and overcome this difficult time together!"

Meanwhile, deep within the forest, in a secluded spot, the mysterious cloaked figure from before was conversing with his subordinates. "They really did come towards the trap we set."

"So what do we do now?" the person beside him asked in a low voice. "Attack directly or continue to lure them in?"

The other party chuckled and replied meaningfully, "No rush. Now that they've taken the bait, all we need to do is observe and wait. The real opponent hasn't shown up yet—we'll give everyone a surprise at the last moment."

As those words fell, the surrounding air seemed to freeze. On the forest path as night fell, three figures moved silently. Moonlight filtered through the treetops, casting dappled shadows on the ground, creating an unsettling atmosphere.

As they cautiously advanced, a faint but clear sound of footsteps caught Su Ting's attention. "Is anyone there?" he asked warily, signaling to his companions to prepare for battle.

Several figures gradually emerged from the darkness, led by a young man with a cold and stern face. "We've finally met. Let me introduce myself. My name is Long Xiangyu. I've been ordered to welcome you distinguished guests."

Faced with the sudden change, Murong Yun did not seem too surprised. "You were also sent by the mastermind to test us, weren't you? Use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve."

Su Ting, however, was more concerned about how to resolve the current situation: "Enough with the nonsense, what exactly do you want?"

Long Xiangyu revealed a meaningful smile, "Hehehe... It's actually very simple, it's just to test everyone's strength."

"Is that so?" Su Ting's tone revealed a hint of disdain. "In that case, let's respond to your 'invitation' with concrete actions!"

The night in the forest grew deeper, and the moonlight cast dappled shadows through the leaves, as if nature had deliberately concealed them. As soon as Su Ting finished speaking, a chilling atmosphere filled the air.

"Hmph, do you think you can get past the checkpoints we set up with this little bit of strength?" Long Xiangyu sneered, and the several men in black behind him quickly formed a semi-circle to surround the three of them.

The villagers who had been watching quietly approached, hiding behind the bushes and listening intently to the impending battle.

Su Ting looked at Long Xiangyu with a determined gaze, "How will we know if we don't try? Since you insist on making friends through martial arts, then we'll play along with you."

Having said that, Murong Yun rushed out first, his figure flashing through the darkness like lightning. Next came Su Ting, his hands gripping his twin swords tightly, his eyes gleaming. "Brother Su, step back a bit, Yun and I will go first!" he shouted.

"Wow, that's amazing! It really is just like the legends!" a child exclaimed softly, but his mother quickly covered his mouth, saying, "Don't talk nonsense, stay here and don't move."

Meanwhile, Hua Yao was organizing the villagers to evacuate from the danger zone. "Everyone, get out of here quickly, don't interfere with the heroes' battle!"

As the sounds of battle rang out, the villagers, though hesitant to approach too closely, couldn't help but peer curiously towards the battlefield. In the blink of an eye, the three men brushed past each other several times, each collision seemingly shaking the tranquility of the entire forest.

“Look at that girl, how brave she is…” A whisper came from the crowd. “The longsword in her hand is as nimble and light as a dancer’s fan, it’s unbelievable.”

"Yes, and there's that friend who uses magic; every time he chants a spell, the surroundings light up brilliantly—it's an incredible power."

Suddenly, Long Xiangyu gave an order, and the surrounding environment changed drastically. Countless vines stretched out from the ground, attempting to entangle the group. "Looks like you're not qualified. Then taste the power of this forest!" he said smugly.

Just as everyone was in dire straits, Su Ting suddenly shouted, "Freeze!" A flash of light appeared around him, instantly turning all the attacking branches to ashes. "Your methods are too childish. Let me handle this!"

The villagers were all amazed by what they saw. "My God, is this really something a human can do? It's like a scene from a myth!"

"Hey, what are you all standing around for? Get out of here and run for your lives!" Seeing the situation was turning against him, Long Xiangyu immediately ordered a retreat. But at this point, it was impossible to escape unscathed, because Su Ting had already located him.

"Trying to run? No way!" As the last syllable fell, Long Xiangyu was enveloped by an invisible force, unable to break free.

Meanwhile, in that mysterious location deep within the forest, the cloaked figure who had been sitting in a chair smiled slightly upon hearing the commotion outside. "Interesting, indeed much more interesting than I imagined."

"What do we do next? Should we step in and help?" his subordinate asked anxiously.

The cloaked figure slowly rose, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. "Wait a little longer, the time isn't right yet. Our protagonist will only appear after the show over there is over."

Just when everyone thought the battle was about to end, a violent earthquake suddenly shook the ground in the distance. Everyone looked up and saw the outline of a huge castle vaguely appearing in the darkness.

"What the hell is that?" Su Ting exclaimed in surprise.

"No matter what, we have to go and see," Murong Yun said calmly. "Let's go, we must find out the truth behind all this."

The three quickly walked towards the eerie building, leaving the villagers with expectant and puzzled backs. Meanwhile, those eyes lurking in the shadows, observing the entire situation, watched their every step even more intently…

The three hurried along the dark path, the air in the forest seeming to grow even heavier. The leaves around them rustled in the wind, making a soft yet eerie sound, as if some unknown thing was watching them.

"Hey, what do you think we'll run into this time?" Su Ting tried to break the silence, but his tone clearly revealed a hint of unease.

Murong Yun did not answer immediately, but focused his attention on the huge outline that was becoming clearer and clearer in the distance. "Whatever it is, we must find out everything. After all, it concerns the safety of the people in the entire region and even further afield."

Just as Su Ting was about to say something, a strange cry suddenly broke the silence, followed by the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps—it turned out that several frightened small animals were frantically fleeing from the woods. "Looks like we'd better hurry," Su Ting said, quickening his pace.

Meanwhile, a little further away, a group of villagers who had been secretly watching the battle from the three heroes' footsteps unconsciously quickened their pace. "The noise coming from that direction is getting louder and louder, what's going on?" one villager said anxiously.

"I hope our guardians can return safely." Hua Yao gently bit her lip, but her eyes were filled with worry.

Finally, as the three passed through the last layer of tree shadows, a massive and eerily strange black building appeared before them: its shape resembled an old-fashioned medieval European castle, but it exuded an unsettling black mist. The towering top seemed to conceal countless secrets.

"Does this place... really exist? How could it suddenly appear like this?" Even the courageous Murong Yun was shocked, and his companions showed similar reactions.

Just as everyone was speculating about what secrets were hidden behind the building, a heavy iron door suddenly opened slowly with a dull thud, and a beam of light shone out, illuminating the ground in the surrounding area.

A mysterious figure, clad in a magnificent robe and wearing a mask, emerged from the light. He gazed intently at the three warriors standing not far away: "We've finally waited for you. Welcome to this ancient castle. I am the master here; you may call me 'Shadow King'."

"You're the mastermind behind all this?!" Su Ting stepped forward and questioned, his eyes blazing with anger.

Faced with such provocation, 'Shadow King' did not show much emotion. Instead, he chuckled softly: "If thinking like that makes things more interesting, then you can say that I orchestrated everything. But the important thing now is that since we have set foot here, it means we are about to accept the challenge of fate."

As he finished speaking, an indescribable energy fluctuation filled the air. Immediately afterwards, strange sounds arose from all directions: a mixture of mechanical noises, biological growls, and the sounds of unidentified objects colliding…

Seeing this, the villagers watching from afar felt both tense and expectant: "Amazing! They are fighting against a powerful enemy!"

"We don't know what will happen next... but no matter what, we believe they will protect us!" A little boy said his wish firmly, looking in the direction of the battle in the distance. The adults around him nodded in agreement and prayed that the battle would end soon and bring lasting peace.

"Shadow King, what exactly do you want to do?!" Murong Yun questioned in a deep voice, remaining calm despite the bizarre scene.

The Shadow King smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned about their questions. "There are many secrets in this world that cannot be easily uncovered, and the secrets hidden in this castle are even more so. However, now that you are here, it is time to reveal some things."

Having said that, the Shadow King gently waved his hand, and the black mist inside the castle gradually dissipated, revealing a massive stone gate. The gate was carved with intricate runes, appearing exceptionally ancient and mysterious. "The gate to the depths of the castle has been opened; within lies all the truth you seek to know."

"But... how do we know this isn't your conspiracy?" Su Ting asked warily, gripping his longsword tightly, ready to deal with any possible situation.

“Oh, about that,” Shadow King smiled faintly, “I do have my own purpose. But believe me, no matter the final outcome, this expedition will be one of the most unforgettable experiences of your lives.”

Just then, the strange noises around the castle suddenly became more and more intense, as if countless unseen creatures were closing in on the three of them from all directions. "Looks like there's no time for further words," Su Ting said decisively, "Let's just break in!"

The three exchanged a glance, then rushed towards the open stone door...

A little further away, villagers could vaguely see the mysterious gate slowly closing through gaps in the bushes, and many gasped in shock. "My God, what kind of power is this?!" an old man exclaimed, trembling.

"No matter what, we must trust that they can overcome anything," Hua Yao said firmly, her eyes filled with confidence and support.

Inside the castle, as the three stepped through the stone gate, they found themselves in a completely different world—bright, yet gentle light illuminated the spacious hall, and ancient paintings depicting various incredible scenes hung on the walls. Just as they were looking around, a soft voice suddenly came from a corner: "Welcome."

Following the sound, they saw a beautifully dressed girl with delicate features standing quietly to one side. "I am the guardian of this place, responsible for protecting the important secrets hidden deep within the castle."

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Su Ting looked at the girl who had suddenly appeared with a puzzled expression.

The girl smiled slightly: "My name is Lingxi, and I have always lived in this castle. Actually, it's not as terrifying as outsiders imagine; on the contrary, it's full of wonder and the unknown. It's just that some people deliberately created this chaotic situation for their own benefit."

"I see." Murong Yun nodded in understanding. "Then, do you know the true identity of the 'Shadow King'? And what exactly does he want to do?"

Lingxi hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Regarding this, perhaps I can help you find the answer. But the prerequisite is that you must first help me break free from the constraints on this space..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong tremor suddenly resounded in the hall, and at the same time, many unfamiliar figures appeared from all directions, each carrying different types of weapons and equipment...

"It seems the situation is far more complicated than we imagined." Su Ting clenched his fist, preparing for the upcoming challenge. "But no matter what, we won't give up!"

“Yes, let’s face it together!” Su Ting and Murong Yun responded in unison.

Just as the three prepared for battle, the figures that had suddenly appeared did not attack immediately. Instead, they formed a semi-circle and surrounded them. The leader, a man in silver armor, stepped forward, his sharp gaze sweeping over the group. His tone was full of skepticism: "Who exactly are you outsiders? How did you manage to open the gates of this castle?"
