People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

He paused for a moment and said, "A Grandmaster at the peak is truly difficult to kill by human power. If necessary, I would be grateful if Brother Cao could lend us a hand."

So you're going to be the sixth one, right? Cao Ze shrugged and said, "Fine."

Who told my brother-in-law to accept his fate and give his younger sister to him?

Now that the Qin envoy is dead, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Ying Zheng will soon leave home.

Time flies...

Chapter 321 The Dripping Yuan Hong

The morning mist was thin, and the sun had not yet risen.

The porters and porters gathered around the railing facing the street, dressed in light, tattered clothes, each in a comfortable position, listening to the newly emerged storyteller in the tavern, who was telling the story of "Journey to the West".

"Then the monkey saw a tiger, and without saying a word, picked up his golden cudgel and smashed it down. The tiger roared, and its brains shattered..."

The storyteller gestured wildly, speaking and gesturing with remarkable vividness.

The tavern was bustling with noise, and both the newcomers and those who arrived later were in high spirits, cheering enthusiastically.

"What a monkey!"

Cao Ze rode by on his donkey and, after hearing this, thought for a long time. He realized that he hadn't written about the monkey fighting the tiger like this in "Journey to the West."

It's probably made up...

After leaving the city gate, Cao Ze did not go directly to Xuannv Peak to find Tianze.

Instead, he took Jing Ni and Li Wu, who had been staying in the city for several months, to the riverbank where he had a water fight with Yan Ling Ji the night before for a wild outing.

As they approached the third quarter of Chen hour, they arrived at the riverbank. Cao Ze took Xiao Yan'er, who had been laughing incessantly the whole way, from Jing Ni's hands.

Jing Ni Li Wu and Yan Ling Ji got off the slightly crowded donkey cart.

When Yan Lingji saw the familiar river stone in the river, she blushed slightly.

Li Wu noticed Yan Ling Ji's flushed face and asked curiously, "Are you hot?"

Yan Lingji glanced at Cao Ze, who was playing with Xiao Yan'er, and snorted, "That's true, a little."

Li Wu suddenly remembered the scene yesterday when Yan Lingji returned around noon and went straight to her room to sleep.

Without even thinking, she knew that Yan Lingji was secretly flirting with Cao Ze just by noticing her uncoordinated movements.

Could it be right here?

Li Wu wanted to ask a few more questions and tease Yan Lingji, but when she heard Jing Ni calling her to catch fish, Li Wu had no choice but to suppress her curiosity and pull Yan Lingji to Jing Ni's side.

At this moment, Jingni rolled up her trouser legs, picked up her sleeves, revealing her fair and smooth calves and arms, stepped onto the shallow riverbank, bent her slender waist, and stared intently at the river surface with her beautiful eyes, catching fish with her bare hands without missing a single one.

The only thing that bothered her was that the fish were too small; the largest weighed no more than five ounces.

Yan Lingji didn't want to catch fish, and glanced guiltily at the river stones in the river.

"I'll go get some firewood."

Li Wu thought it was strange and immediately said, "I'll go. You'll have to light the fire later."

After saying that, Li Wu drew the Jingni Sword that Jingni had brought, found a large tree with lush branches and leaves nearby, and with a few quick "swishes," she trimmed the branches of the tree for free.

Yan Lingji looked down at the branches at her feet, and heard Li Wu's voice in her ear: "Dry the branches and make a fire."

Yan Lingji said dejectedly, "My fire is for fighting."

"You're a fire starter, not a battle maiden..." Li Wu's casual remark caused countless black lines to appear on Yan Ling Ji's fair forehead.

She glared angrily at Cao Ze, who was playing with Xiao Yan'er. If it weren't for this guy giving her such an awful nickname like "Fire-starter," she wouldn't be constantly teased by Li Wu.

While drying the branches to start a fire, Yan Lingji said to Cao Ze, "Hey, aren't you going to do something?"

Cao Ze rarely had a moment of leisure alone with Xiao Yan'er, so of course he didn't want to do anything. Playing with his daughter was much more interesting than working.

"I'm not prepared, you can continue."

Yan Lingji looked at Cao Ze, who was playing with Xiao Yan'er without even looking up, and was speechless.

She subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, wondering if she might be pregnant too.

The shrew not far away couldn't stand catching only small fish, so it took a few steps in the river and jumped, drawing a graceful arc in the air before leaping into the river like a mermaid and disappearing from the surface.

After a dozen or so breaths, Xiao Yan'er, who had been arguing with Cao Ze, suddenly realized that her mother was gone. She was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears and ran towards the river.

Just as Cao Ze was having a headache, a large fish about two feet long leaped from the water and was more than ten meters high.

Then a beautiful figure appeared on the water and quickly reached the riverbank.

At the same time, the big fish fell from mid-air and was caught steadily in Jing Ni's hand.

Xiao Yan'er stood blankly in front of Jing Ni, her small face, barely bigger than a steamed bun, showing a look of confusion.

Jing Ni was soaking wet, her long hair clung to her cheeks and back, dripping water droplets. Her light-colored long dress clung to her exquisite body, adding to her alluring charm.

She wanted to hug Xiaoyan, whose face was still wet with tears, but she was still holding the fish in her hand and froze on the spot.

Yan Lingji, who always loved to slack off, put down the campfire and ran over, taking the big fish from Jing Ni's hand and stuffing it into Li Wu's hand.

"Jingni, let me warm you up by the fire."

Yan Lingji extended her index finger and gestured in the air a few times. Several thin flame snakes coiled around Jing Ni's body, drying her wet body in just a few breaths.

Cao Ze and Xiao Yan'er were both stunned by this scene.

Cao Ze was stunned, wondering when Yan Lingji had become so perceptive.

Xiao Yan'er was stunned to see how amazing the older sister was; she had set her mother on fire.

Li Wu curled her lip and snorted, "If you're so capable, why don't you grill the salamander?"

She was very familiar with Cao Ze's affectionate nickname for Jing Ni.

Yan Lingji blinked her big eyes and said with a grin, "I'm not stupid, Li Wu, why don't you hurry up and kill the fish?"

Li Wu scoffed, "No wonder you came running over here all of a sudden, it's just killing a fish!"

As she spoke, Li Wu quickly gutted the fish, used the Jingni Sword to scrape off the scales, cleaned the internal organs, and then salted it.

Yan Lingji muttered to herself, "Who did I learn this from?"

Li Wu used the Jingni Sword to skewer the entire fish body. "Little girl, you should learn from this."

Yan Lingji pouted, "I'm older than you, you should call me older sister."

"Really? Then Sister Yan Lingji must study hard!" Li Wu said with a smile.

Yan Lingji was furious and remained silent, only groaning.

On the other side, Jingni held Xiaoyan'er, lifted her clothes, and let the hungry Xiaoyan'er eat.

Cao Ze walked over and saw Li Wu and Yan Ling Ji bickering. He casually said, "The fish is ready. Let's eat it on the river stone."

"No!" Yan Lingji suddenly shouted.

Li Wu teased, "Are you worried about being discovered?"

Yan Lingji blushed, feeling heartbroken.

Cao Ze didn't think much of it, only assuming that Yan Lingji didn't want Li Wu to go to the river stone where they had made love.

"Eating by the river is fine too."

At this moment, Yan Lingji disagreed. She glared at Li Wu and said, "No! We'll eat on the river stone!"

Cao Ze quietly left the live stream. He felt that he shouldn't interfere between Li Wu and Yan Ling Ji anymore; he preferred to directly intervene and do things between them.

After Jingni finished feeding Xiaoyan'er, Liwu took the grilled fish and prepared to go to the river stone. Yanlingji took the lead and landed on the river stone. She saw a bright red spot and immediately sat down cross-legged.

She actually wanted to destroy it directly, but she was afraid that Li Wu would notice something, so she had no choice but to resort to this drastic measure.

Li Wu stepped onto the river stone, her clear black and white eyes sweeping over Yan Lingji for a moment before examining the large river stone, seemingly finding nothing unusual.

Cao Ze carried Xiao Yan'er and Jing Ni one after the other as they came up.

A large fish, emitting an enticing aroma, hung on the Jingni Sword.

Fish grilled with the Yue King's Eight Swords is just different.

Yan Lingji sat alone on a river rock, eating fish in small bites, ignoring Li Wu's calls.

She would rather die than let Li Wu see the Yuan Hong that she dripped onto the river stone.

At the same time, he took a big bite of the fish and kept complaining to himself about Cao Ze, who really knew how to pick a place!

Cao Ze seemed to sense the strong resentment emanating from Yan Lingji, and was somewhat puzzled.

Today's Yan Ling Ji seems like a completely different person from the Yan Ling Ji who nestled in his arms like a little wildcat yesterday and the night before.

He ate the fish while observing the distant Xuannv Peak.

The river stone is positioned so that you can see the entire Xuannv Peak.

After observing carefully during the day, Cao Ze discovered some strange things.

For example, there is a crescent-shaped lake on the north side of the mountain, and the beautiful mountain resembles a woman sitting on her side.

This mountain, resembling a woman, rests its hands behind its head, raises its head, tilts its body slightly to one side, and immerses its bent legs halfway in the lake, like a beauty who has just emerged from a bath, casually letting her hair fall loose by the lake, lazily and gracefully revealing the beautiful curves of her body.

Cao Ze was momentarily lost in thought, his expression somewhat dazed.

His mind was immersed in the imagery of a beautiful woman emerging from her bath. He seemed to see not a mountain peak, nor a cold, unfeeling rock, but a woman who had been elevated and appeared gentle and affectionate.

The lifelike mountain made him wonder if it was actually sculpted by someone, rather than a masterpiece of nature.

He gazed at the dense pine and cypress trees and flowers and grasses covering the mountain peak, and saw no trace of human intervention. He couldn't help but feel a little shaken. Was this really something that could be achieved by human effort?

If it is truly a miracle created by human effort, why has he never heard of it?

……

After eating fish during their outing, Li Wu Jingni and Cao Ze left He Shi.

Yan Lingji breathed a sigh of relief, slowly stood up, glanced at the red marks left by her Yuan Hong, and her face burned like fire.

He immediately held his breath, waved his hand and unleashed a flame, burning away all the Yuan Hong that had dripped from him.

After Yan Lingji finished doing all this, she was first relieved that what had shamed her was gone, but then she felt a little regretful. After all, it was hers...
