The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

Madam Jiu's throat moved slightly as she took a sip of the fragrant tea offered by Wu Ziming and continued speaking.

"I'm increasingly convinced that you're a descendant of the Northern King; your every move is just like his."

I even had a premonition that if I hadn't suddenly appeared just now, you would definitely have attacked Xiao Ruoli, and might even have killed her.

Liu Ruyan spoke softly, but it made the air in the entire Shuiyun Pavilion freeze.

Even Wu Ziming, who considered himself incredibly audacious, trembled slightly at this moment.

Kill your master?!

Or should we kill Xiao Ruoli, the third young lady of the Marquis's mansion?!

This is a serious crime of peeling daylilies.

How could Li Qingshan dare to do such a thing?

But it seems that Ninth Madam Liu Ruyan's statement was genuine.

"Wu Ziming, go downstairs and book a banquet table."

Li Qingshan waved his hand, dismissing Wu Ziming.

As for whether what Madam Jiu said was true or false, Li Qingshan did not express his opinion, nor would he express his opinion.

In this world, Li Qingshan believed that no one was more important than himself.

If Xiao Ruoli continues to fail to recognize the situation, Li Qingshan will not mind sending her to her death.

"Hehe, Li Qingshan, why are you so cute? I really can't bear to part with you."

At first, I wanted you to use your appearance to plan something big for me, but I'm increasingly finding myself unable to live without you.

As Liu Ruyan spoke, her affectionate peach blossom eyes couldn't help but scrutinize Li Qingshan.

It carried a hint of sorrow, and a hint of helplessness.

"Why did you give up, Madam?"

Li Qingshan moved slightly closer to Liu Ruyan, his breath brushing against her face, causing her to blush slightly.

"It's all because of you, you rascal! How can my darling live with you like this?"

Before Liu Ruyan could finish speaking, she exclaimed in surprise and was picked up and carried into the bedchamber.

The two attacked simultaneously.

The bed curtains rustled, disrupting the time and further disrupting the plans in their hearts.

……

A slanting ray of sunlight hung on the horizon.

Li Qingshan and Liu Ruyan then stopped fighting, but their current states were quite different.

A series of red ripples spread across Liu Ruyan's body, enveloping her completely.

Although her complexion was rosy, her brows were furrowed, as if she were having some kind of internal struggle.

However, her breath was constantly churning, and one could vaguely hear the sounds of galloping horses and clan battles.

Ideally, someone would charge onto the battlefield, form battle formations, fight against millions, and shout battle cries that reach the heavens.

Li Qingshan wasn't that miraculous. He had collected a lot of Yin energy, but it wasn't enough for him to suddenly reach the True Qi Realm.

However, as Li Qingshan looked at Liu Ruyan, who had changed, a word couldn't help but pop into his mind—"Military Demon"!

Such a thing was recorded in the books of Shuiyun Pavilion.

legend.

In many ancient battlefields, after thunderstorms, one can hear the shouts of warhorses and see ghostly soldiers passing by.

This is actually a trace left by the lingering malevolent energy of the military.

If someone were to collect these and integrate them into their own cultivation method, every move they made would be like a thousand troops charging into battle.

In fact, many fierce generals in the army would deliberately unleash this kind of murderous aura when the two armies were facing off.

However, anyone who refines this kind of military aura will not benefit in the future.

Either they are bewitched by the evil energy and become confused and clueless, or they go into a state of demonic possession and perish.

However, this does not prevent it from amplifying the combat power of others. Many people who serve in the military choose to refine one or two strands of evil energy for themselves.

As for what will happen in the future, we'll discuss that later.

"I didn't expect this Ninth Madam to have such a background, but it's not surprising. Her background is so bizarre, it's normal for her to possess a bit of malevolent energy, but her cultivation method is extremely mysterious."

Li Qingshan pondered deeply, even starting to wonder if he could obtain such a cultivation method if he put in a little more effort next time.

As for the drawbacks left by the military evil forces, Li Qingshan did not take them to heart.

His career as a top soldier taught him one thing: in this world, only after surviving and killing your opponents can you think about the future.

People are dead, so what future can they have?

A ray of sunlight slid across the window and fell on Liu Yan's face, revealing her slightly furrowed brows.

It exposed a vast expanse of pure white to the air, releasing a fragrance like that of roses.

Li Qingshan watched all of this with a sense of rapture, quite pleased with himself.

"After three or four more times, I can try to break through to the True Qi Realm by harmonizing Yin and Yang."

However, too much of a good thing can be bad, and too much speed can be dangerous. Absorbing yin energy too quickly will cause a surge of yang energy in my body.

Ideally, we should break through before the anniversary of their death. The Purification Cult is also a major problem; unfortunately, there's no way to eliminate them for the time being.

Li Qingshan briefly took stock of everything he had in his life.

"Hmm~"

Liu Ruyan stretched slightly, revealing a patch of snow-white skin, her peaks standing tall and majestic.

She seemed unaware of the extraordinary power that had just erupted from her, and gazed at Li Qingshan with a somewhat languid expression, as if she were looking at her husband.

"You have absolutely no idea what it means to cherish and protect a beautiful woman."

If some girl were to take her in some future relationship, you'd probably tear her to shreds.

Liu Ruyan, who had been spouting vulgar and offensive language, suddenly changed the subject, speaking with a hint of helplessness.

"It's a pity that neither of us can escape this cage, otherwise it would be quite interesting to be a carefree couple."

Li Qingshan seized upon the question in Liu Ruyan's words and asked directly.

"Why can't you leave? Xiao Ruoli respects you immensely, and I imagine everyone else in the Marquis's mansion does too."

Could there be someone else blocking our way?

Liu Ruyan gazed calmly out the window, as if she could see the old crow perched on a branch in the setting sun.

"Within the Marquis's mansion, naturally no one can stop me, but what about outside the Marquis's mansion?"

The Marquis's mansion is now like a powder keg; it could explode at the slightest touch.

Everyone inside was going crazy, including me, or rather, just indulging in pleasure again before the anniversary of that dead lord's death.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan instantly understood.

He finally understood why the Changning Marquis's residence was so strange now.

Ultimately, the Daqian Dynasty was still a male-dominated society, and women could not inherit titles.

When the anniversary of Marquis Changning's death arrives, everything in the Marquis's mansion will be taken back. At that time, how comfortable will everyone in the Marquis's mansion still be?

Everyone was trying to find a way to retain their title or to find a place to settle down.

The eldest young lady wants to demonstrate her strength through her cultivation, while the second young lady must have established connections with the academy or the Qingliu School.

As for the Third Miss...

He probably wanted to emulate the Xiao family ancestors by joining the army, making new contributions, and thus retaining his title.

As for what about the others, Li Qingshan didn't know for the time being, but he could guess some things.

"Sunset glow... wait, something's not right?!"
