Achieving the Dao from the Hundred Schools of Thought

Zhuang Weiyang watched the dragon plummeting rapidly from the sky and moved slightly away from the Yue Kingdom group.

Fuchai's control over the dragon was extremely skillful, and it was highly unlikely that he would accidentally harm anyone else.

But they accidentally injured the Yue people...

That's hard to say!

In the air, Goujian kept begging for mercy, his nose and tears streaming down his face, but Fuchai did not slow down.

The Yue people were shocked. Lingyu lit up her inner fire and was about to use her magic to save Goujian.

If Goujian hadn't been stopped by anyone, he would have been crippled or killed if he had fallen to the ground at such a speed.

Seeing this, even the usually calm Fan Li subconsciously wanted to take action, his true nature faintly revealed behind him.

In an instant, Fan Li held back, and at the same time, he pressed down on Ling Yu with his aura, preventing her from making any rash moves.

Fan Li knew that if he couldn't restrain himself now, he would surely anger Fuchai.

At that time, Goujian will surely die!

"Xi Shi, please... perform a dance for me!"

"If you have any request, I will certainly grant it."

Xi Shi stared intently at Goujian, and gave a sad smile.

With a flick of his sleeve, the copper bell rang.

The means of enjoying the music – the Golden Clog Dance.

The target of the spell—Fuchai…the dragon beneath him!

The dragon slowed its flight slightly and raised its head as if asking King Fuchai what to do.

"Oh? This is the beautiful concubine that the Yue Kingdom wants to present? Interesting."

But how do they compare to the female entertainers trained by the Wada family?

How could Xi Shi, a mere cultivator of the first realm, possibly bewitch a dragon of the second realm?

Her goal has always been Fuchai, who is above the dragon's head!

In retrospect, she was successful; King Fuchai's gaze was successfully drawn to her dance.

Fuchai lightly stepped on the dragon's head, ordering the dragon to slow down, lest he disturb the beauty's dance.

Goujian thus gained a glimmer of hope.

As the dragon's descent slowed, Xi Shi's long blue dress gradually dissolved as she began to dance.

The green skirt transformed into silk threads, weaving a large net that successfully saved Goujian!

"roar--!"

The dragon landed on the ground, its head bowed, and Fuchai stepped down from its body.

"Your dance is indeed skillful, woman! But your heart is impure, and I do not approve!"

"Don't you know that when dancing for the king, one should be completely devoted? How can you take off your long dress halfway through?"

Xi Shi was dressed in a blouse, with only her vital parts covered, while her beautiful legs and jade arms were displayed brightly in front of Fu Chai.

"Your Majesty, Xi Shi is a subject of the King of Yue. Now that my king is in imminent danger, how can we not save him?"

Even though Fuchai restrained his aura when facing Xi Shi, his domineering nature could not be hidden.

Being able to speak in complete sentences was already the limit for Xi Shi!

"Hmph! The Yue Kingdom has already presented you to me as a gift. Goujian is no longer your king!"

"I am your king!"

"When I step into Suzhou, my body and soul will belong entirely to Your Majesty."

"snort!"

Fuchai turned and left, leaving only one sentence in the air.

"Then hurry into the city! Come to my palace later and dance for me again!"

Zhuang Weiyang was about ten feet away from these people when Fuchai passed by, and Zhuang Weiyang immediately bowed.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Oh? You are... Zhuang Weiyang, right?"

Before Zhuang Weiyang could reply, Fuchai continued to praise her:

"Prince Di is quite good. The summer planting sacrifice can attract the spirit of the ancestor Duke Zhou Dan. It seems that this kid has managed Zuili very well!"

From now on, you must assist Prince Di even more diligently and not slack off!

"Here you go!"

"Alright, alright!" Fuchai waved his hand, pointing to the sacrificial wine and meat on the carriages in the caravan behind him, and ordered:

"These things have been sent to the palace, and I will be holding a banquet tonight... The Tian family of Qi has also come, so let them see that even this barbarian land has the favor of our ancestors!"

"Here you go!"

After giving his instructions, Fuchai left directly, and the dragon behind him disappeared into the clouds, its whereabouts unknown.

Only Goujian remained trapped in the net woven by Xi Shi, and he did not get up for a long time.

Fan Li stepped forward, about to inquire, but was stopped by the soldiers beside him.

"Without the king's decree, the people of Yue are not allowed to speak to the traitorous subject Goujian! Take him away!"

Several soldiers helped Goujian up and took him away, but it was unclear where.

Fan Li's outstretched hand trembled slightly, and he had no choice but to give up.

If one's true nature is revealed, what difference does killing these soldiers make?

It seems that Fan Li and Goujian will die on the spot in the next moment!

"Fan Li, on your journey to Suzhou, I..."

Seeing that Fan Li's attention was not on her at all, Xi Shi couldn't help but whisper.

"Xi Shi, you are now Fu Chai's dancer! Let bygones be bygones."

Xi Shi's eyes reddened, her hope shattered.

In the end, it still ended like this.

Xi Shi bowed gracefully, and when she stood up again, her face was even paler.

I reached out and clutched my chest; it was just a slight, sharp pain, the source of which I didn't know, yet it went deep into my heart.

My body has been given to the moon in the Wu Palace, only my heart and soul are entrusted to the clouds of Yue.

Green vines dance, their sleeves concealing a solitary figure; a heart, once filled with sorrow, now turns to ashes.

Xi Shi turned and left, her hands clenched into fists and placed against her chest.

It seems that this can alleviate the heartache.

"Wait!" Fan Li finally couldn't bear it and called out to Xi Shi.

Xi Shi stopped abruptly upon hearing this, but did not turn to look at Fan Li.

Fan Li subtly observed his surroundings, making sure no one was paying attention to him, then took two steps forward, untied the jade pendant from his waist, and placed it in Xi Shi's hand.

The jade pendant was warm, still carrying Fan Li's body temperature.

"Fan Li..."

"This is a family heirloom jade pendant; I hope Xi Shi will cherish it!"

In Xi Shi's eyes, it seemed as if the dark clouds had parted, revealing the stars.

He clutched the jade pendant tightly to his chest, fearing it would be discovered and stolen.

Then, Xi Shi took a deep breath and walked step by step towards Gusu.

At the same time, a phantom image materialized behind Xi Shi.

She endured tears to repay the nation's policies, and held a warm jade pendant to ease her longing.

True nature—Xi Shi holding her heart!

"Ah? Doctor Fan, could you also give me a jade pendant? I've been stuck in the first realm for some time now, and I also want to break through to the second realm."

Fan Li was greatly surprised and looked around. He saw two figures slowly appear.

Zhuang Weiyang and... Zilu?

Fan Li suppressed his shock and bowed, saying:

"General Zhuang's technique of concealing his breath is truly exquisite! He approached Fan Li within ten zhang without Fan Li noticing."

"Junior Brother Ziyang, this is extremely rude of you..."

Zhuang Weiyang waved her hand dismissively and said:

"Brother Zilu, Master Fan Li won't mind."

Moreover, how could one possibly maintain a lingering relationship with the dancer who was the king's tribute partner?

Zhuang Weiyang's sudden appearance startled Fan Li, who then figured out the effect of the Mountain Technique's ability to conceal one's breath.

The Five Turns Mountain Technique is already approaching the level of the Second Realm Great Cultivation Ten Zhang.

"General Zhuang, etiquette and law are no different from human feelings."

Now that Xi Shi is about to set foot in Suzhou, I wonder if she will have the opportunity to return to the Yue Kingdom.

Fan Li presented the jade pendant to ease his lovesickness; though it was against etiquette, it was understandable. General Zhuang, please understand!

Zhuang Weiyang was only testing her magic and didn't want to have much to do with Fan Li, so she pulled Zilu away and left.

"Dr. Fan, we have different needs, so let's keep to ourselves."

As long as she doesn't do anything out of line, Wei Yang won't cause any trouble.

This matter... isn't exactly a handle to use against me.

Given the temperaments of the current kings, having Fan Li as a victim would only make them more fond of Xi Shi.

The sense of accomplishment from conquering a beautiful woman is completely different from that from conquering a beautiful woman who already has someone she loves!

If Fuchai finds out, he'll probably be even more excited!

"May I ask, General Zhuang, what outrageous matter has been committed?"

Zhuang Weiyang didn't turn her head and said loudly:

"As long as you do things like a decent human being... Zhuang Weiyang will absolutely not cause trouble for herself!"

With that, he and Zilu entered Suzhou together.

Tonight I have to attend a ridiculous banquet and meet Qi Ren.

Even though I'm probably just a nobody, I still need to get ready.

Who has time to dwell on love, hate, and grudges?

Lingyu stepped forward, looked at Zhuang Weiyang's retreating figure, and said resentfully:

"This person has no manners whatsoever!"
