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

Now that Xiangjun and Xiangfuren are gone, she needs to think of other ways to both enhance her own strength and expand her ranks. One Xu Fu is ultimately not enough...

The Ghost-Controlling Pill seems quite good. If Xu Fu were to improve it, wouldn't it make that traitor, the Grand Commander, obediently follow orders...?

The Moon Goddess's eyes turned slightly cold as she conceived the idea of ​​planting a spy next to her senior sister.

In the courtyard of the Cao family, Nüying finished telling her story, sobbing uncontrollably.

"It's all my sister's fault. If she hadn't ambushed me and injected the White Dew Frost's internal energy into my body, causing me excruciating pain like an iceberg, I wouldn't have bothered to injure her. But who knew she would choose to drown in the river, which was so shallow..."

"It must be because Shunjun came. It must be because my sister wanted to take revenge on me and punished me with death. She succeeded. Shunjun will never see me again..."

Cao Ze swallowed hard and glanced around.

Nüying's words made him feel uneasy.

Wasn't it supposed to be that Rashomon could only take place in Xiaoxiang Valley? Well, look what happened, it's happening right here in his house.

"Sir, do you believe me?"

Suddenly, Nüying grabbed Cao Ze's sleeve and cried, her face streaked with tears, a sight that evoked pity in me.

Zhang Wuji's mother was right. Women are born liars. The more beautiful a woman is, the more she can deceive people. A frown, a smile, a cry, or a complaint can make people dizzy with deception.

"I believe you, okay? I'll believe you."

Cao Ze calmly grabbed Nv Ying's small hand and removed it from his sleeve.

"Hmm? It's so cold?"

Cao Ze savored the feel of Nü Ying's small hand; it was like touching a piece of ancient ice, chilling to the bone, not like a living person.

Tsk, could it be the White Dew Frost Technique cultivated by Nüying?

It's so cold outside, I wonder if it's warm inside.

He really wanted to find out what was going on with Nvying.

After all, he has always been kind-hearted and loves helping confused and ignorant women.

Nu Ying said dejectedly and haggardly, "You still don't believe me. I didn't want my sister to die either. It's all my fault..."

Cao Ze glanced at Jing Ni, then at Li Wu, and saw that both women were walking to one side. He then looked at Yan Ling Ji, who was holding a baby.

"that……"

Yan Lingji lifted her long legs and tucked Xiao Yan'er into Jing Ni's arms.

"I just remembered I have something to do..."

Li Wu truly lives up to her reputation as Yan Ling Ji's best friend.

Before Yan Lingji could finish speaking, she continued, "Me too, Jing Ni, I'm leaving her to you..."

In the blink of an eye, the two women ran away, leaving only lingering fragrance that stirred the heart.

Jing Ni paused for a moment, but did not leave with her long legs like Li Wu and Yan Ling Ji.

“I’m not good at taking care of people, nor am I good at comforting people… If you need to kill someone, you can come to me. I’ll… um, I’ll take Xiaoyan back to her room first.”

"I..." Cao Ze forced down the traditional Chinese soup.

When did Jing Ni get corrupted by Yan Ling Ji and Li Wu?!

He resolutely denied that it was because he had been trying to teach Jingni all along...

Cao Ze looked at the frail and sad Nüying and felt a little embarrassed. He really wanted to bring Ehuang online.

After all, an obedient and innocent baby is much better than a resentful woman who might go crazy at any moment.

"Alright, stop crying."

Cao Ze said with a hint of impatience.

He has always been very patient with beautiful women, just like he was with Zhao Ji, the Empress Dowager.

Even when he was being practically bullied, he remained calm and composed.

But for some reason, he couldn't calm down when facing Ehuang and Nüying. He always felt restless, as if staying by Xiangfu's side was dangerous and urging him to leave.

This feeling is very uncomfortable.

It's truly a strange thing that Lady Xiang didn't do anything to harm me, or even have any intention of doing so.

Nu Ying's watery eyes were red and swollen from crying. She said plaintively, "In the end, I have to bear it all alone. My sister is so cruel. Why didn't I die? I hate myself like this..."

Cao Ze was slightly moved by Nü Ying's words.

He didn't know whether Nüying did it intentionally or unintentionally, but whether she was crying or talking, it carried a faint spiritual power that was extremely infectious.

Never mind, that's not the point. The point is how to get this problem out of control.

Does he have to go to the Yin-Yang School in the middle of the night to deliver a girl to Yan Fei?

Will I get beaten to death?

"Let's go back inside first..."

Cao Ze helped Nü Ying up and went into the room, abandoning his idea of ​​going to the Yin-Yang School to deliver his sister to Yan Fei.

Since he's already here in the middle of the night, it would be a disservice to his reputation as a public-spirited young man not to offer him a place to stay for the night and to show him hospitality.

The candles inside had long since gone out, leaving the room dark.

Nüying was helped to sit on the couch by Cao Ze. Cao Ze was just about to say something nice and leave when Nüying took the initiative and opened her pink and tender arms to pull him into her warm embrace.

This... Cao Ze was speechless.

Was I taken advantage of?

The body of Nüying, or rather, the body shared by Nüying and Ehuang, is very soft.

The faint, virginal fragrance, exuding the allure of a mature, sophisticated woman, wafted into Cao Ze's nostrils, causing his heart to flutter.

She looks so thin and frail, how come she has such great curves?

"Please don't go! Stay with me, okay? I'm so scared... I can't sleep... I feel like someone is watching me..."

Dreamlike whispers echoed in Cao Ze's ears. Facing and feeling Nü Ying's gentleness, Cao Ze found it difficult to refuse her.

But when he thought of the Rashomon incident in the original work, and the young man who died in the arms of a woman, he chose to remain calm.

You should know that the young man was able to escape the pursuit of Zhao Gao and his Six Sword Slaves and a group of people from the Luo Wang, and he was also able to escape from the siege of the Moon Goddess and several elders.

Although he was seriously injured after escaping into Xiaoxiang Valley, it at least shows that his strength before his death was not only that of a Grandmaster, but also very close to that of a Grandmaster, or even that of a Grandmaster.

Why isn't that big salamander Jingni looking at him... Cao Ze muttered to himself.

If Jingni were here, he would have just given in to Nüying and had some fun.

Hiss~ Cao Ze suddenly realized a terrible fact.

Did Jing Ni and Li Wu Yan Ling Ji secretly conspire to leave him here alone, betting that he wouldn't go?

"Lady Xiang, you are the Water Elder of the Yin-Yang School. I am an old friend of Dongjun Yanfei of your Yin-Yang School. You must not do something that would be suspicious of melons and gossips, lest you ruin your reputation."

Cao Ze broke free from Nü Ying's embrace and spoke righteously and sternly.

"I don't mind, I just want someone to be with me, just for one night..."

"I can't speak," Nü Ying said helplessly, looking at Cao Ze with pained eyes.

But I mind… Cao Ze took a light breath and said decisively, “No way!”

He didn't know why he said such heartless words, but his intuition told him that it was definitely a good thing to avoid any involvement with the woman in front of him.

Nu Ying murmured, "Why...why..."

She pleaded with Cao Ze, "Stay, stay! I'll do anything. I can teach you to cultivate the Heavenly Earth Cultivation, I can merge my inner energy with yours and help you break through to the Grandmaster level..."

Cao Ze was deeply moved, but that was all.

Who knows what kind of evil things might happen if you cultivate this stuff?

"Go to sleep. I'll take you back to the Yin-Yang School tomorrow..."

Cao Ze turned to leave, but Nü Ying suddenly said coldly, "If you don't stay, I will stay here forever."

Cao Ze stopped, not turning his head, and sneered, "Do whatever you want."

If Lady Xiang insists on staying, he'll bring Consort Yan over tomorrow and give Lady Xiang a double beating.

The temperature inside the room suddenly dropped, and the thick moisture caused water droplets to form on the doors, windows, tables, and desks.

Accompanying this was a bone-chilling cold, and...

In a daze, Cao Ze saw the bright moon outside the house stained with a layer of blood color, and the dim blood moonlight enveloped the surroundings. One after another, red spider lilies grew out of thin air on the ground and quickly surrounded him.

The woman who had been behind him was now lying on the ground covered with red flowers, looking at him with tears in her eyes.

"I'll be sad when you leave..."

"If you really want to leave, then kill me and bury me beneath this cluster of red spider lilies..."

Cao Ze silently recited the "Taishang Laojun Changshuo Qingjing Jing" in his heart, keeping his mind focused.

Jingni said that Xiang Furen was acting strangely, and that the ability to threaten her must be this divine soul power that is even more terrifying than Yan Ri.

In my entire life, I have seen someone even more powerful than any master I have ever met.

If he hadn't possessed some means to preserve his soul, he would likely have fallen into Lady Xiang's illusion long ago and become her puppet and servant.

"break!"

Cao Ze formed a hand seal and silently shouted in his heart, but it had no effect whatsoever.

Nu Ying opened her arms, neither sad nor happy, and said, "Sir, become one with me, so that we can be together forever..."

Cao Ze was met with Nü Ying's relentless advance—no, Nü Ying had floated over and hadn't even taken two steps.

Damn it! Is my lifelong reputation going to be ruined by a woman?

I should have just died a romantic death under the peony blossoms.

Should we just use that trick?

Cao Ze looked at Nü Ying with a slightly cold gaze.

If he were to summon lightning from the void, it wouldn't be difficult to break the illusion with the power of the lightning. However, he couldn't control the lightning, and if Nüying took the blow head-on, her delicate body would surely be charred into a crisp.
