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

Cao Ze nodded. "Yes, but it's the middle of the night. If I take you out now, it would be an admission of guilt. Let's get some sleep and talk about it when it's almost dawn."

Hua Ying took a deep breath, her face turning cold as she said, "I'll just sit on the ground!"

"Hiss..." Cao Ze tempted, "It's so cold on the ground, it's winter now, I recommend you try rat tail juice."

If Jingni is the kind of beautiful, strong, and tragic woman who can arouse a man's protective instincts, then Huaying is a delicate flower, so tender that it seems to drip water, so beautiful that it's hard for any man not to have wicked thoughts, wanting to hold her in his arms and knead her at will, and play with her ruthlessly.

If he hadn't frequently wandered among countless women, he might not have been able to easily restrain the evil thoughts in his heart.

Hua Ying's rosy lips curved slightly, and the two small dimples on her cheeks were as sweet as chocolate liqueurs, making her extremely charming.

She smiled seductively and said, "Does sir really want me to sleep with you?"

Cao Ze said, "I'm an honest man, and to be honest, I really want to sleep with you."

Hua Ying's smiling face suddenly turned cold.

"You want to sleep with me?! You're dreaming!"

Cao Ze scoffed, "I knew it, ha, women!"

Hua Ying sneered, "After tonight, you go your way, and I'll go mine. We'll be even and have nothing to do with each other!"

"I have a narrow bridge, but I don't know if your sunny road will be open to welcome me..." Cao Ze thought to himself with a roguish grin, then hugged the two sweet and soft little beauties, covered himself with a blanket, and fell fast asleep.

Hua Ying stared at Cao Ze, who was sleeping soundly with two women on either side of him, for a while. When she saw that he was really asleep, she couldn't help but glare at him fiercely.

How could you possibly sleep? At your age, how can you possibly sleep? Didn't you see I'm still freezing? Don't you know you should offer to sleep on the floor so I can sleep in the bed?!

Ha!

Hua Ying tightened her night clothes; the winter nights were so cold and so long.

……

The next morning.

Cao Ze used a little trick, under the pretense of watching the younger generation of the Qu family, to lure most of the clan's retainers to the martial arts arena. Hua Ying, sneezing, left the Qu family's residence without any serious incident.

Hua Ying returned to Zui Meng Lou, and the little maid Qing Ruo patted her chest, which had no breasts yet.

"Sister Huaying, you almost scared me to death last night!"

Xiao Qing sighed deeply, "If I didn't know that the Qu family hadn't caught anyone, I would have wanted to find someone to rescue you... Hey, Sister Huaying, why is your face so red?"

Hua Ying's originally bright and beautiful eyes now have some bloodshot streaks.

But that's not important. What's important is that she has a headache and fever right now.

Unfortunately, Huaying, who stayed up all night in the freezer, still caught a fever and a cold.

"Stop talking, prepare hot water, I want to take a bath!"

Even with a fever, Hua Ying can hardly stand the strange smell on her body, especially the red marks on her face from the guy's bad stuff. She wishes she could rub her face off!

Cao Ze was unaware that Hua Ying had a fever and a cold. After reaching a friendly consensus with the Qu family, he leisurely returned to the post station.

As usual, Nian Duan, accompanied by Duanmu Rong, went to his room and undressed completely.

This situation lasted for half a month.

What Cao Ze found strange was that after Hua Ying fled the Qu family mansion that night, she immediately closed the doors of Zui Meng Lou.

Whenever he went over to join in the fun, the little maid Qingruo would send him away on the grounds that Huaying was sick.

Does this girl have some kind of psychological trauma?

Inside the inn, Cao Ze gave a strange smile.

Just then, the head of the Chu Du Luo Wang (a secret network) who was lurking around Li Yuan brought some intelligence.

According to information Li Yuan obtained from his sister Li Huan, the King of Chu's health has deteriorated further, and he probably won't live past the winter.

The weather was nice at midday.

The young girl, Duanmu Rong, walked proudly into the post station, carrying a stack of envelopes in her hand.

Duanmu Rong is going to use these letters to slap someone in the face today!

To let Cao Ze put him down, to make Cao Ze disbelieve that he had already sent a message from Ehuang, is truly outrageous!

Do you really think everyone is as untrustworthy, treacherous, and hypocritical as him...?

"Uh..." Duanmu Rong was stunned for a moment when she saw Cao Ze suddenly appear in front of her.

"you……"

Before Duanmu Rong could throw the letter in her hand to slap Cao Ze in the face, she discovered that the letter was gone.

She was even touched by Cao Ze.

"Ahhh!"

Duanmu Rong let out a loud "Aww!" and glared at Cao Ze with a face full of shame and indignation.

"You touched me! You're so shameless!"

As Cao Ze flipped through the letter, he said, "I'm just checking if you're hiding anything. Don't worry about the details."

Just as Cao Ze was about to open some letters to check on Xue'er and Li Ji's recent situation, he suddenly heard Duanmu Rong's angry voice.

"Sister Ehuang! Help me beat him up!"

At this moment, Duanmu Rong was just like a little tigress who had been provoked, wishing she could bite Cao Ze's head.

But Duanmu Rong knew she couldn't win, so she summoned Ehuang directly!

Cao Ze was stunned.

Huh? Ehuang? Here?

Just as Cao Ze looked around, he saw a strong, oppressive wind pressing in.

Holy crap!

……

Chapter 526 Cao Ze: Lady Ehuang! There's not a single drop left! Please spare me!

What is meant by "heaven and man"?

The term "Heavenly Man" refers to the innate state of being.

According to the Tao Te Ching—

There was something undifferentiated and complete, which existed before Heaven and Earth; this is called the Primordial State!

Since obtaining the ancient scroll from the Marquis's secret chamber, Cao Ze had been paying attention to the cryptic text on it. Then, in the Qin state, he accidentally discovered that Li Si was quite knowledgeable about writing. With Li Si's help, he was able to decipher these ancient characters.

He was full of anticipation, thinking that the scroll contained a method for breaking through to the Celestial Realm, or at the very least, a divine cultivation manual for Celestial Realm cultivators.

In the end, nothing was discussed; they only talked about the power and supernatural abilities possessed by experts at the Celestial Realm.

For example, once one breaks through to the Celestial Realm, one is like a god in mythology, possessing magical power and supernatural abilities. One can summon wind and rain, turn beans into soldiers, control the power of heaven and earth, travel by qi, eat qi and abstain from grains, enter and exit the azure sky, and go to the highest heavens and the lowest hells.

As stated in "Free and Easy Wandering".

Liezi rode the wind and traveled, which was truly remarkable.

Riding the right course of Heaven and Earth, and mastering the transformations of the six qi, one can roam freely in the boundless realm.

All of this demonstrates the extraordinary nature of these celestial beings, who, in the eyes of mortals, are like immortals.

Cao Ze originally thought that in such an era, there could be no more powerful beings at the Celestial Realm. Even scholars like Xunzi, prodigies like Donghuang, and even the reclusive Beimingzi were all stuck at the Grandmaster level.

After all, he obtained an important piece of information from the scroll: to break through to the Celestial Realm, one must have spiritual energy, and a massive amount of it at that.

He estimated that he would have to absorb all the spiritual energy in Feng Hou Tomb before he could have any chance of breaking through.

Of course, the most crucial point is that after breaking through to the Celestial Realm, one cannot rest easy. If the world undergoes a major change, like the environment he is in now, he will inevitably fall from his current realm over time.

All of these factors have resulted in countless brilliant individuals, such as Xunzi, Donghuang Beiming, and others, being stuck at the Grandmaster level.

But what does he see now?

Ehuang rode the air and traveled high above.

Her body was like glass, with skin as white as ice and bones as firm as jade, impervious to water and fire.

Every gesture he made carried the power of heaven and earth, incredibly refined, far surpassing that of a grandmaster or great grandmaster.

This woman... is truly extraordinary...

Cao Ze groaned inwardly.

When Ehuang left, she only used a small trick, which he didn't quite understand and tended to think that Ehuang was a grandmaster.

Now it seems that this is definitely a deity, undoubtedly a celestial being!

Otherwise, even if Donghuang Taiyi himself came, it would be impossible for him not to have any intention of resisting.

That being said, before Ehuang left, she said, "If he doesn't break through to the Celestial Realm, he will surely die." Was that really a sure thing?

Damn it!

"So you're the one who bullied Rong'er?"

Ehuang stood in mid-air, angrily pointing at Cao Ze.

Cao Ze was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise, "You don't recognize me?"

Ehuang frowned slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

"Feng Hou... Pixiu... Who are you? Why do you have their aura on you?"

Cao Ze suddenly thought of the stone slab and the stone ball.

Duanmu Rong asked in surprise, "You two know each other?"

That's really strange. How did Cao Ze get to know Sister Ehuang?

After all, Cao Ze is such a weakling.

Cao Ze nodded, then looked at Duanmu Rong strangely.

Do you know who she is?
