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

Cao Ze couldn't think of a good reason for the time being, so he could only take it one step at a time and hope to ruin the whole thing while shopping.

He didn't even want to imagine what Madam Hu's expression would be if he and Nongyu went to see her hand in hand.

It couldn't possibly be feelings of satisfaction, agreement, encouragement, support, excitement, initiative, or impatience...

"Great!"

Nongyu smiled brightly, very happy.

There's nothing more joyful than introducing your loved one to your family.

At least at this moment, that's what she thinks.

The sunlight outside the window was very bright.

At this moment, Zi Nu was not busy with official duties as Nong Yu had imagined. Instead, she had spread out a beautiful silk cloth on the table under the window and was painting stroke by stroke.

She was very focused when she painted, and the lines she drew were very delicate, with a smooth and gentle touch, showing that the tenderness in her heart had been reflected in the painting.

As Zi Nu depicted it, a faceless man slowly unfolded on the snow-white silk.

Zi Nu stopped painting at this point, paused for a moment, and then continued painting.

Instead of completing the painting of the man, the artist added a bed frame, a table, and other furnishings around him.

If you look closely, you'll find that the scene in the painting is exactly where she and Cao Ze made love last night—her boudoir.

Perhaps because she wasn't painting any men, Zi Nu's brushstrokes became much faster, and her expression was quite relaxed and leisurely, as if she were depicting nature and gradually becoming immersed in it, not even noticing that Nong Yu and Cao Ze had already arrived in front of her.

"...Sister Zi Nu, what are you drawing?"

Nongyu leaned forward, but couldn't understand.

Zi Nu suddenly woke up, saw Nong Yu, saw Cao Ze, her pupils contracted sharply, and her heart almost stopped beating.

"nothing!"

Zi Nu placed one hand on the silk cloth and grabbed the bamboo slips beside her, spreading them out haphazardly to cover them up.

After all this, even if Nongyu was naive, she could tell that Zi Nu was panicked.

Cao Ze kept suppressing his smile.

Nongyu didn't notice, but how could he not notice after just sleeping with Zinu?

Zi Nu's painting clearly depicts the famous scene they shared before going to sleep last night.

However, he didn't get a full look from that quick glance, but he could tell that Zi Nu's painting was a simple ink wash painting, mainly focusing on freehand brushwork. Her technique was very skillful, and the strokes were even and smooth, clearly showing that she was quite good at painting.

Cao Ze carefully recalled the figures in the painting.

The faceless man was clearly him, while Zi Nu was pointing her finger at herself in the mirror, lightly applying makeup as if she were putting on powder and rouge.

The woman in the painting was extremely beautiful and had an exceptional appearance. It was clear that Zi Nu would unconsciously embellish her own beauty.

However, it would be fine if it were just about dressing up, but with two little figures on the bed, the desk, and the windowsill... Cao Ze was a little at a loss for words.

Zi Nu secretly drew erotic pictures, it's so...exciting!

At this moment, Cao Ze immediately abandoned his attempt to test Zi Nu's attitude.

Regardless of what Zi Nu thought, the scene before her was enough to prove that she must have been thoroughly satisfied by him last night and had developed a taste for it.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be secretly drawing erotic pictures here.

Zi Nu's voice was somewhat cold, perhaps out of embarrassment or to cover up her guilty conscience, while her aloof face was somewhat flushed.

What are you doing here?!

Nongyu's heart skipped a beat; she was startled by Zi Nu's appearance and demeanor.

"I, I, I came to tell Sister Zi Nu that I want to go out with Mr. Cao Ze to visit my mother..."

Startled by Zi Nu, Nong Yu almost burst into tears.

Zi Shen's expression softened slightly, and when she caught a glimpse of Cao Ze suppressing a laugh, she felt a wave of helplessness and embarrassment.

It's true what they say, what you fear most is what happens most often...

"Alright, I understand. You can go now."

Zi Nu just wanted to get rid of these two guys as soon as possible; she just wanted some peace and quiet.

If she doesn't calm down soon, she'll have a mental breakdown and start questioning the meaning of life.

If Nongyu found out that she had drawn herself and Cao Ze in erotic art, it would really damage her dignity as the head of Zilanxuan.

Whether Cao Ze saw it or not is a minor matter.

Cao Ze wanted to tease Zi Nu a bit, but Nong Yu pulled him back, and Zi Nu glared at him, so he left awkwardly.

But the smile on his face lingered for a long time.

Upon leaving Zilan Pavilion, Nongyu saw Cao Ze smiling the whole time, and her face flushed red, thinking that Cao Ze was making fun of her.

"gentlemen……"

Nongyu pulled Cao Ze back and gently stuck out her little tongue, "If you want to laugh, then laugh."

Cao Ze was stunned. When did he want to laugh at Nongyu?

He quickly realized that Nongyu had misunderstood.

Cao Ze coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing, let's go shopping..."

"boom!"

The wall of a house not far from Cao Ze was smashed.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen blue-faced, fanged zombies emerged from the hole in the wall, baring their teeth and claws, and biting at the pedestrians along the way.

Screams, panic, screams...

Someone who didn't know better might think a biohazard was about to happen.

Just as Cao Ze was about to make his move, hundreds of bird feathers flew out, instantly tearing all the zombies to shreds.

Parrot Song, Black Crow, and White Phoenix appeared on the roof, staring expressionlessly at the hole in the wall below.

"Hehehe..." A low, hoarse laugh came from inside the hole in the wall.

"You still managed to find out."

Upon hearing it, Cao Ze recognized Tian Ze's voice.

I never expected this guy to be in Xinzheng; he definitely has something up his sleeve.

However, what happened next completely shocked Cao Ze.

A burly man, nine feet tall, with bulging muscles and snake-bone chains wrapped around his body, walked out. Judging by his figure alone, one might mistake him for Wushuang Gui's long-lost younger brother.

What is astonishing and terrifying is that this giant has a head like a human's, but the top of his head and cheeks are covered with fine scales. His originally dark blue hair has become dry and withered, and his deep-set snake eyes are like emerald green will-o'-the-wisps.

This is... Tianze?

Cao Ze simply couldn't connect the snake-man before him with the Tian Ze from before.

The previous Tianze, though somewhat eerie, was still human. The current Tianze, however, had thick arms, sharp claws, and thick, dark gray snake scales on his chest…

Everything indicates that Tianze has become a demon.

"Roar!"

Tianze roared, and his fierce aura swept across half the street, like an ancient beast, making everyone feel a chill run down their spines.

"Monster!"

The piercing screams rang out again, and countless people fled in panic. No one dared to continue watching the spectacle.

Nongyu hugged Cao Ze, her delicate body trembling, "Sir, let's go quickly."

She had never seen such a bizarre and terrifying creature, and she was somewhat frightened.

Cao Ze held Nongyu's delicate white hand and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Tianze, judging by his aura alone, definitely possesses the strength of a grandmaster or higher.

Of course, that's nothing. The important thing is, why did Tianze become like this? Could it be related to Feng Hou's Tomb?

What did Tianze gain from it?

Cao Ze narrowed his eyes, looking at the snake-man Tian Ze not far away.

"Red-browed Dragon and Snake" is a respectful name given by the Baiyue people to the extraordinary natural phenomenon of Tianze.

Could it be that Tianze truly possesses the bloodline of an ancient dragon and snake?

Tianze, who had been staring at Yingge and the other two, sensed a familiar presence, turned his head abruptly, and saw Cao Ze.

The ghostly green flames in his snake-like eyes trembled incessantly, whether from excitement or fear, it was hard to tell.

"It's you? Cao Ze, you're here?"

Tianze laughed loudly, "I was looking for you, and you actually delivered yourself to my doorstep."

"Now that you've been exposed, I'll take you down today!"

The Corpse-Driving Demon and the King of a Hundred Poisons remained hidden inside the house, both feeling helpless and bewildered as to how Tianze had ended up in this state after emerging from the Feng Hou Tomb.

Cao Ze's heart sank slightly. With his ability to conceal his aura, even if Tian Ze was a grandmaster, it would be impossible for him to detect him from this distance.

"Roar!"

Tianze stomped his foot, and his body suddenly grew three feet larger, with black energy swirling around his entire body, ready to burst forth.

"Quickly open!"

Cao Ze shoved Nongyu away. Facing the wildly charging Tian Ze, he dared not hold back in the slightest and directly used the Thunder Transformation Secret Technique, his entire body filled with the power of thunder.

A hint of fear flickered in Tianze's savage snake eyes. He had witnessed Cao Ze's power firsthand in Feng Hou's Tomb.

But this is not Feng Hou's Tomb now; he is determined to obtain the treasures within.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Cao Ze could control and change the palm lightning in his hand at will, and he threw it out as a lightning ball, hitting Tian Ze.

However, Tianze's physical strength far exceeded his expectations, and the lightning ball only left a small black mark on his scales.
