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

Just as everyone was thrown into chaos, a mysterious old man emerged from the distant woods. He quietly observed the changes in the sky for a moment, a sinister smile appearing on his lips: "The show has only just begun..."

Meanwhile, deep within the "labyrinth of the mind"—

Deep within the "Maze of the Mind," the battle between Su Ting and the man in black had reached a fever pitch. A tense and oppressive atmosphere permeated the surrounding air, broken only by the clash of swords and the rapid footsteps.

"Who are you guys? Why are you targeting us?" Su Ting roared, his longsword gleaming brightly, tracing sharp lines in the darkness. Every move was filled with power, attempting to find an opening to deliver a fatal blow.

"Haha, why ask so many questions?" the lead assassin sneered. "Knowing too much won't do you any good." With that, he quickened his attack, making the situation even more critical.

Just as Su Ting was about to be surrounded, Murong Yun suddenly jumped out from the side, a slender dagger in her hand. "Su Ting, watch out for the left!" she shouted as she lunged at one of the enemies. The two clashed, and the scene instantly became chaotic.

"Thank you, Yun'er." During their brief exchange, the two worked together seamlessly, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years but still had a great understanding.

Meanwhile, Su Ting and Ling Xi each found an opponent to fight. The former used his strong physique to keep pressing forward; the latter used her agility to move between battlefields, looking for opportunities to ambush her opponent from behind.

Just as the battle reached a stalemate, a deep and powerful roar suddenly came from afar. Everyone looked up and saw a colossal creature slowly emerging from the mist—a gigantic being composed of countless points of light!

"What the hell is this thing?" one of the assassins exclaimed.

"Never mind that, finish them off!" the leader ordered, swinging his weapon at Su Ting at the front. However, at this critical moment, the mysterious creature suddenly let out a deafening roar, shaking the entire space.

"Stop! Stop fighting!" Lingxi suddenly shouted, her voice containing a barely perceptible fluctuation of power that actually made everyone stop.

"Is it...is it warning us?" Murong Yun looked at the creature with a hint of fear in his eyes.

At this moment, Su Ting took a deep breath and slowly turned to face everyone present: "Listen carefully, everyone. Our common enemy is not each other, but this unknown world before us. If we continue to fight amongst ourselves, I'm afraid none of us will leave here alive."

His words resonated like a morning bell and evening drum in everyone's hearts, even causing members of the opposing camp to re-examine their own positions. The enormous creature that had been eyeing them menacingly seemed to be moved by these words, slowly taking a few steps back.

Just as both sides temporarily lowered their guard and reached a stalemate, the mysterious old man reappeared before them. "Heh heh, I didn't expect you could all get along so peacefully," he chuckled. "It seems it's time to tell you the truth..."

Before the old man could finish speaking, the surroundings suddenly changed drastically again, and the entire space began to shake violently...

"Oh no, what's going on?" Su Ting exclaimed in panic.

"Hold on tight to the person next to you!" Su Ting reacted quickly and grabbed Murong Yun tightly beside him.

After a dizzying spin, when everything calmed down, they found themselves standing in the castle square. The surrounding villagers gathered around, looking at these brave young men with a mixture of surprise and admiration.

"That's amazing! You really did it!"

"These young people are truly remarkable!"

"What's that old man doing here?"

Just as everyone had regained their footing, the surrounding villagers swarmed around them, their eyes filled with awe and curiosity. A little child, tugging at his mother's hand, pointed at Su Ting and the others and excitedly shouted, "Mommy, look! Aren't those the legendary heroes? They defeated those terrible monsters!"

"You're amazing!" a villager exclaimed excitedly. "If it weren't for you, our village would probably be finished!"

Just as everyone was immersed in the celebratory atmosphere, the mysterious old man stepped out from the crowd, his deep eyes seemingly able to see through everything. He cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention. "Young people, congratulations on successfully passing the first test," the old man said with a hint of a smile, "However, as I said before, the real show has only just begun."

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked puzzled, including the four warriors who had just escaped danger. Lingxi spoke first, asking, "May I ask who you are? What has happened here? Why do you say this is just the beginning?"

The old man didn't answer her question directly, but turned to the surrounding crowd. "Fellow villagers," he said, "listen to me... This ancient castle holds a shocking secret, one that concerns the fate of the entire world. And these brave young people will be a vital force in unraveling the mystery. Of course, this is not just a journey, but the beginning of a series of arduous challenges. What you see is merely the tip of the iceberg."

Upon hearing this, the villagers, who had been cheering, became serious, and many showed worry on their faces. "So, does this mean our village will face even greater danger?" an older villager asked anxiously.

"To be honest, that's true." The mysterious old man nodded, then looked at the four protagonists and added, "But as long as you have faith and courage, any difficulty can be overcome."

Just then, a simply dressed girl with a unique air about her squeezed through the crowd and approached. She stared at the four of them, especially Su Ting, for a moment before saying, "Hey, handsome, need any help? You seem a little distrustful of this old gentleman who calls himself your 'guide'."

Chapter 811 Care

Startled by the unexpected conversation, Su Ting paused slightly before returning a polite smile. "Thank you for your concern, young lady. However, as you said—after all, no one can guarantee that everything he says is true, right?" She then turned to the old man earnestly and said, "If we must continue to find the answer, then I hope we can first understand the risks we are about to face."

"Haha, what a clever and cautious young man!" The old man laughed approvingly. "Alright, in that case, I'll reveal a little more: on your journey ahead, there will not only be threats from unknown creatures, but also various temptations from your own inner demons; only by staying true to your original aspirations can you reach your destination. Remember, unity is the key."

Just when everyone thought the conversation had come to a temporary end, the girl who had suddenly appeared spoke again, breaking the silence: "Sounds interesting! Anyway, I don't have anything else to do right now, so how about I come along on an adventure with you? Maybe I can be of some help!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ting's eyes widened immediately: "Stop messing around, okay? You need to know that what's coming next isn't as simple as a child's game!"

"Oh, don't worry about it," the girl waved her hand dismissively. "Although I don't have superpowers or martial arts skills or anything, I'm super interested in these kinds of adventures! And, I think my intuition is pretty accurate sometimes, so maybe it can really bring you good luck at a crucial moment~"

Hearing this, the others exchanged glances. Although they hesitated a little about this unexpected companion, they found it hard to refuse her offer to join. "Alright... then at least you have to tell us your name, right?" In the end, Su Ting spoke on behalf of everyone.

"Hmm~ then call me Wind Chime." The girl said with a smile, extending her hand as if to shake hands with everyone. "Please take care of me from now on!"

Meanwhile, in a corner far from everyone's sight, two shadowy figures quietly watched this scene and whispered among themselves:

"It seems the plan has changed. I didn't expect such an extra problem." A dark figure said in a low voice, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

“Yes, that girl seems very interested in their plan. Could she become an obstacle for us?” another shadowy figure chimed in, his eyes gleaming with cunning in the shadows.

“In any case, we need to be careful. That girl named Wind Chime doesn’t seem simple, and the fact that she volunteered to follow this group of heroes is something we should think about,” the first figure in the shadows said in a deep voice. “We need to find out more about her before deciding on our next move.”

While the two continued their conversation, Su Ting and his teammates on the other side had already accepted Feng Ling's addition and begun their preparations. The villagers saw them off, the air thick with anticipation and tension.

"Then, let's set off!" The old man's voice rang out from the crowd. He waved his hand, signaling the warriors to follow him towards the village exit. "The journey is long and full of unknowns, so please be fully prepared!"

As the group gradually moved away from the village, villagers along the way kept running out to see them off, many of them casting curious glances at the newly added wind chimes.

Chapter 812 Information about the Other Party

"Is she really an ordinary person? Something feels off..." a young man muttered to himself.

Another woman nodded in agreement: "Yes, look at her confident demeanor; she really seems like a seasoned explorer."

Not far away, Lingxi whispered to Su Ting, "Have you noticed? Ever since Fengling joined, the atmosphere around us seems to have changed."

“It is a bit strange, but since we’ve decided to trust her, we have to treat her as a member of the team,” Su Ting replied with a smile, though his tone revealed a hint of caution.

As they walked, Su Ting suddenly remembered something and turned to the mysterious old man beside him, asking, "Senior, you just mentioned that there will be not only external threats but also temptations from inner demons on the road ahead. Could you elaborate on what these so-called inner demons actually mean?"

“Oh, this question…” the old man began slowly, a subtle, profound glint in his eyes. “Actually, everyone has their own ‘inner demons,’ which may stem from fear, greed, or even self-doubt. When faced with immense pressure or challenges, these negative emotions are amplified, becoming the most formidable enemies on the path forward.”

After hearing this, everyone present fell into deep thought. Even the usually cheerful and optimistic Su Ting was unusually silent for a while, before he said firmly, "Now that we know this, we must be even more careful and not let the demons in our hearts affect our judgment."

Just then, Wind Chime suddenly spoke up, breaking the slightly heavy atmosphere: "Speaking of which, I have a small suggestion—if we could learn more about each other through storytelling or games, it might help ease the tension~ What do you all think?"

After some discussion, the four agreed to give this novel suggestion a try. So, on the rest of the journey, they walked and shared their stories and dreams, occasionally interspersed with small games to lighten the mood…

As night fell, the group set up a makeshift camp at the edge of the forest. Around the fire, several people sat in a circle, chatting and laughing, but Fengling remained unusually quiet, as if she were intently contemplating some important matter.

Suddenly, she looked up at the sky, a complex emotion in her eyes: "The moon is so bright tonight, but I wonder what tomorrow will bring?"

Su Ting gently patted her shoulder to comfort her: "No matter what, we will face the future together and overcome all difficulties together."

As night deepened, only the occasional chirping of insects and the distant howling of wolves could be heard around the camp. Su Ting's words brought a slight smile to Feng Ling's face, a barely perceptible warmth flickering in her eyes. Just then, a series of hurried footsteps shattered the stillness of the night.

"Who is it!" Su Ting immediately stood up alertly, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.

A figure emerged hurriedly from the bushes, his face filled with terror, panting heavily, his voice trembling: "Something's wrong... there's... there's a monster on the road ahead!"

This sudden information put everyone on edge. Lingxi quickly walked up to the man and calmly asked, "What did you see? What exactly happened?"

Chapter 813 Formulating a Plan

The young villager tried to calm himself down and stammered, "I...we originally wanted to scout ahead for everyone, but...we encountered a group of giant wild boar demons. Their eyes glowed red, their teeth were incredibly sharp, and there was a wild boar even bigger than an ox leading the way. It was terrifying!"

Upon hearing this, the old man pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "It seems we need to be careful. The wild boar demon is more active at night and is indeed a threat. However, now that we know of its existence, we can prepare accordingly."

Su Ting nodded, then turned to his team members and said, "Everyone, get ready quickly. We might need to set off as soon as possible to resolve this issue." He glanced at Feng Ling, "You can help with the planning too."

Fengling smiled and nodded, but her eyes seemed to conceal more complex emotions. "Okay, I believe we can overcome this difficulty together." With that, she joined the discussion and proposed several feasible strategies.

The next morning, the group was ready to depart. Just as they were about to leave, an old man led the able-bodied men of the village to see them off. Looking at Su Ting and his companions, the old man's eyes were filled with admiration and expectation: "You are true warriors! I hope you return safely!"

The villagers gathered around, cheering them on. A young woman whispered, "I heard a girl joined their team last night, and she seems really good." Her words revealed a hint of envy and curiosity.

Another villager nearby exclaimed, "Of course! People who can travel with these heroes must be extraordinary. Look at that girl named Fengling, just standing there makes you feel reliable."

Meanwhile, at the front of the group, Wind Chime was carefully observing the terrain. She pointed to the forest entrance not far ahead, "If we can enter the woods from here and follow the path, we might be able to avoid the main activity area of ​​those boar demons."

Su Ting looked at Feng Ling approvingly, "Your analysis is good. But even so, we cannot let our guard down. We must react quickly if we encounter the enemy."

As the team ventured deeper into the dense forest, an atmosphere of the unknown and danger filled the air. Just then, one of the team members suddenly noticed some unusual movement in the bushes ahead…

"There's something going on over there!" Su Ting immediately signaled everyone to stop and quickly drew his sword to prepare for any potential threat.

Fengling instantly became alert, staring at the faintly visible figure in the distance, silently calculating how to deal with this unexpected situation. "Maintain formation, prepare for battle," she calmly commanded, conveying confidence and courage to her teammates.

Everyone held their breath, waiting anxiously, unsure of what would happen next...

“That is…” Lingxi said softly. Several people dressed in tattered clothes, with haggard faces but firm eyes walked out from the front – they were another group of surviving villagers!

Upon seeing his well-equipped and solemn-looking companions, the leader's eyes flashed with surprise and gratitude: "Thank God! You've come to find us? It's too dangerous here; we were almost eaten by wild animals! Please help us!"
