Zongman: The post-2D era

Xue Nai pursed her lips, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She walked to the bedside quietly, slowly lay down, and lay close to Feng Feng's body. Her movements were light and gentle, as if she was afraid of disturbing Feng Feng who was deep in thought.

"I won't get up unless you stop." Yukino's voice was soft and firm, like a spring breeze gently caressing the tender buds.

Feng Feng's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he felt Xue Nai's body temperature and the faint fragrance. He opened his eyes and saw Xue Nai's eyes full of worry and expectation.

Their eyes met in the air, and for a moment, the atmosphere in the room became subtle and tense. Feng Feng could feel Xue Nai's firmness and determination.

In the front yard of the brothel, the sounds of men and women laughing, playing and groaning reached their ears.

Chapter 603: Redemption of the Medicine House World

Saturday, February 26

In the brothel Green Green House in the world of Medicine House, the rear dormitory belonging to Rikka is as quiet as a dream.

Maomao respectfully handed over Rikka's indenture contract, glanced at Yukinoshita who was making the bed and said, "The person who kidnapped Rikka has not been caught."

From outside, a woman's voice was heard soliciting customers. The strong smell of cosmetics drifted in the wind, passing through the quiet corridors and teasing every closed door and window in the Green Pavilion.

Mao Mao's ears moved slightly, and her pupils shrank into a thin line. She stopped what she was doing and listened attentively. The sound was like the cry of a nightingale, charming and seductive, and every note seemed to have a hook, trying to hook people's hearts away.

Yukinoshita Yukino stopped what she was doing, looked up at the cat, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Maomao turned around, gave her a reassuring smile, and then whispered, "It's the women in the brothel who have started working."

The two looked at each other and understood that in this world, everyone had their own role. Whether they were prostitutes in a brothel or maids in a pharmacy, they were just chess pieces on the chessboard of fate. And they were just trying their best to find their own place in this huge world.

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned slightly, with a hint of urgency in her tone: "Hurry up and let Rikka leave here and go back to school. The world of Yakuya is about to collapse."

Maomao nodded, and her movements became faster. She gently placed Rikka's indenture on the table, and then walked quickly to the door.

The sound outside the door gradually became clearer, and the smell of powder became stronger. Maomao took a deep breath and pushed open the door. In an instant, a prosperous scene came into view. The women in the brothel were dressed in gorgeous clothes, with thick powder on their faces. They were enthusiastically soliciting passing customers.

Maomao walked through the crowd and went straight to the carriage in the backyard. She jumped on the carriage and said to the driver, "Hurry, let's go to the imperial city."

The carriage started slowly, passed through the bustling streets, and drove towards the imperial city.

After the carriage passed the hustle and bustle of the brothel, the street gradually became quiet. Maomao sat in the carriage, but her heart was turbulent. She recalled Yukinoshita Yukino's words, and she couldn't help but feel a strong interest in the kind and handsome kidnapper.

She tried to picture him in her mind, but could never quite get a clear picture of his face.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped. Maomao poked his head out in confusion, and saw a familiar figure standing quietly on the street ahead.

That was Renshi, his face was kind and gentle, like a spring breeze. His eyes were deep and bright, as if he could see through people's hearts. Maomao's heart moved, could this be the man who kidnapped Rikka that Yukinoshita Yukino mentioned?

Maomao's carriage suddenly stopped, and she looked through the window at the familiar figure. The man had a kind face and bright eyes, like a spring breeze. Maomao's heart beat instantly, and she seemed to have found the mysterious kidnapper.

Inside the brothel, Yukino clenched her fists, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and she asked softly: "What would you do if Ren Shi did it?"

Feng Feng took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with determination, and said firmly: "I will find him and bring him to justice. Thousands of troops and horses cannot stop me."

Maomao jumped off the carriage and walked towards the man step by step. Her heartbeat quickened, and every step seemed to carry a great force.

At this time, Renshi looked at her with a smile, his eyes flashing with warmth. Maomao stared at him closely, trying to find the answer from his eyes.

Inside the brothel, Yukino tilted her head and said, "Take Rikka away quickly, I hate brothels."

Baiqin, one of the three fairies in the brothel, was holding a brass basin gracefully. The clear water in the basin was rippling, reflecting her charming face.

She walked into the room with a smile that was like a spring breeze, gentle and provocative. Her eyes sparkled as if she could see through people's hearts, and her smile carried an indescribable charm that was irresistible.

"A brothel is a paradise for men." She whispered softly, with a hint of mischief and pride in her voice.

She and Liuhua walked to Fengfeng, gently put down the brass basin, and then reached out to untie Liuhua's hair, which seemed to be a custom in the brothel. Her movements were gentle and skillful, as if she was putting the final touches on a precious work of art.

Feng Feng slowly walked towards Liuhua, holding her indenture contract. His face was solemn, and his eyes were shining with complex light.

He stopped and handed the thin piece of paper to Rikka.

Liuhua looked down and saw her name and a string of unfamiliar words written on it. She felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart, a mixture of fear and confusion.

Feng Feng said softly: "This is your indenture. Now, it is yours."

Liuhua looked up at Fengfeng, with a puzzled look in her eyes. She didn't understand why this person would give her this piece of paper and why he said it was hers.

Feng Feng smiled and explained, "From now on, you are no longer a slave in the brothel. You are a free person. This indenture is the proof of your freedom."

Liuhua's hands were shaking as she tightly grasped the thin piece of paper. Her eyes were red and tears were welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

Her heartbeat was as rapid as thunder, and she felt that the whole world was spinning. She couldn't believe her ears, let alone her eyes. Freedom, the word was so far away from her, but now it suddenly appeared before her.

She looked up at Feng Feng. The face that once frightened and unfamiliar her now became kind and warm in her eyes. His eyes were full of determination and encouragement, as if telling her that all this was true and she was truly free.

Baiqin's laughter rippled in the air, as if adding a bit of joy to this moment. Her slender fingers gently stroked Liuhua's black and shiny hair, and the movement was as gentle as the spring breeze, with endless warmth and care.

Her eyes were full of love and appreciation for Rikka, as if at this moment, Rikka was no longer a woman in the brothel, but her beloved child.

"Silly child, it is a great blessing for you to meet Master Feng before you leave home. It is really romantic to spend ten thousand taels of gold just for one person."

Baiqin's voice was soft and warm, like a spring breeze on the face, which made Liuhua's heart surge with warmth.

She looked up at Baiqin, with gratitude in her eyes. She knew that the luck and happiness at this moment were inseparable from Baiqin's careful care and protection.

Liuhua stared at Fengfeng and asked, "Can you redeem Sister Bailing and everyone at the Green Pavilion?"

Feng Feng was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Liuhua to make such a request. He looked at Baiqin and saw a glimmer of expectation in her eyes, but also mixed with deep worry.

He knew that the prostitutes in Baiqin and Luqing Pavilion were eager to get rid of this identity and regain their freedom. However, it was not easy to redeem themselves and required a large sum of money.

Feng Feng took a deep breath and looked at Liuhua firmly: "I can try, but all my money has been used to redeem you."

A hint of surprise flashed across Liuhua's eyes, but she immediately became alert: "Can you really do it? Are you lying to me?"

Feng Feng smiled slightly and shook his head: "I won't lie to you. I will do my best to raise the money for redemption. But it will take time."

Rikka's words echoed in the air, as if turning into an invisible oath, penetrating time and space, eternal and unchanging.

She pointed three fingers gently toward the sky, with a determined light in her eyes, as if she wanted to engrave this determination into her bones and into her soul.

"I, Rikka, swear that I will always be by your side, no matter how time and space change, in all my lives."

Feng Feng looked at her, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that the promise at this moment was not only Liuhua's trust in him, but also her desire for freedom and her expectations for the future. He took a deep breath and looked at Liuhua firmly: "I will do it."

His voice was sonorous and powerful, like a solid mountain, firmly supporting Rikka's hope for freedom.

The picture freezes at this moment, and the two figures appear particularly dazzling in the afterglow of the setting sun. Feng Feng's figure is like a towering mountain, and Liuhua is like a delicate flower, nestling beside him. Their eyes meet, as if forming an invisible bond that tightly connects them.

Chapter 604: Martial Arts in the Medicine House World

Sunday, February 27

The royal palace of the medicine house world.

"He won't destroy the world easily, even if he suspects that Emperor Renshi is the murderer who kidnapped Rikka!"

Xueno's words were like a breeze, instantly blowing away the tension and doubts in Maomao's heart. She stopped and looked back at Xueno, with a hint of apology in her eyes. Xueno smiled and stretched out her hand to her, as if inviting her to face it together.

Maomao held Xueno's hand, and the two walked side by side towards the prison. Their figures looked particularly soft in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if they were two souls leaning on each other.

The carriage slowly drove away, passing through the quiet streets, carrying the dreams and hopes of the two girls, heading towards the distant prison.

Inside the car, Yukino gently stroked Maomao's head, her eyes full of warmth and care. Maomao leaned on Yukino's shoulder, feeling the comfort and support from her friend. Neither of them mentioned the mysterious trafficker again, as if the topic had been sealed in their hearts.

At this time, in the Green Green House, a brothel in the Medicine House world, Liuhua had just used a bamboo stick to deal with a "hero" who was causing trouble in the room.

In the Green Green House of the brothel in the world of medicine house, Feng Feng was in a private room on the second floor. The furnishings inside the room revealed a kind of low-key luxury. Outside the window, the night was getting darker, and the breeze gently blew the window screen, bringing a hint of coolness.

The third fairy Bai Ling, the beautiful woman, was standing behind Feng Feng, with her hands gently pressing on his shoulders. Her fingers were flexible and powerful, as if they could dispel all fatigue.

Feng Feng closed his eyes and enjoyed this rare quiet time. He raised the wine glass in his hand and took a sip. The mellow tea fragrance seemed to soothe the waves in his heart. He spoke slowly, with a little appreciation in his voice: "Liuhua, she has reached the realm of the second floor."

Downstairs, the "hero" at Liuhua's feet took a breath, his face full of disbelief: "How is it possible, you are the master of the second floor? A prostitute?"

His voice echoed in the empty lobby, startling a few birds perched on the window frames.

Liuhua smiled gently, and the bamboo stick in her hand drew an elegant arc in the air, and then she inserted it steadily into the bamboo tube at her waist. She looked up at the private room on the second floor, and a sly look flashed in her eyes.

Feng Feng smiled slightly in the private room on the second floor, as if he had expected this scene. He put down the wine glass in his hand, turned around and looked at the night outside the window, but in his heart he couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Liuhua.

At that time, she was still a little maid struggling in a brothel, and she stabbed them.

Upstairs, Bai Ling gently poured tea into Feng Feng's cup. The fragrance of tea filled the air, complementing the night view outside the window. She asked softly, "The martial arts of Jianghu people are mainly based on buildings. Why is that?"

Feng Feng picked up the teacup and blew on it gently, the aroma of tea filled his nose. He put the teacup down and looked out the window. The world of the medicine house in the night seemed peaceful and mysterious.

He spoke slowly, his voice deep and magnetic: "The martial arts are based on buildings, and each floor represents a realm of the martial artist. From the bottom of the ladder when just entering the martial arts world to the top of the ladder when reaching the pinnacle, each floor contains the sweat and efforts of countless martial artists."

He paused and continued, "As for Rikka, she is already at the second level, which means she has crossed the threshold of entering the martial arts world and started the real practice of martial arts. Her growth rate is so fast that it even surprises me."

Feng Feng nodded, looking far away in the direction of the prison, as if he could see through the layers of buildings and see everything there. He said softly, "They named the martial arts after the nine-story pagoda, which is indeed a profound meaning. The legend of the Taoist immortal of the nine-story pagoda is also correct."

His eyes were full of admiration and expectation, as if he saw Liuhua's brilliant achievements in martial arts in the future. Bai Ling stood quietly beside him, also looking in the direction of the Heavenly Prison, and was also pleased with Liuhua's growth.

At this moment, there was a slight vibration suddenly coming from the direction of the Heavenly Prison, as if something was happening.

Feng Feng and Bai Ling looked at each other, and a hint of vigilance flashed in their eyes. They knew that this world was always full of unknowns and variables, and they would always protect those important people and things.

Feng Feng said seriously: "In the sky prison, a scholar on the third floor is using his death to prove his truth."

A voice emerged in Bai Ling's ears:

The scholar Li Bai used his death to memorize the contemporary world and leave it to future generations.

In a mysterious period in ancient times, a legendary immortal suddenly descended upon the earth and left behind a majestic and magnificent nine-story pagoda.

Not only is the tower soaring into the clouds, but each floor also emits a different light, as if telling of an unfathomable power.

From then on, spiritual energy revived, and people in the martial arts world began to use this nine-story pagoda as a symbol of the nine realms of martial arts. Each realm represents a different level of martial arts cultivation and strength.

Legend has it that the Basil Pagoda was built by an immortal named Tiandi, and its common name contains the word "wind" in its Chinese character.

The Emperor of Heaven was once the supreme being between heaven and earth. He created the nine-story pagoda as a ladder for martial arts practice, aiming to select martial arts practitioners with real talent and perseverance. The nine-story pagoda not only represents the nine realms of martial arts, but also symbolizes the nine stages of martial arts practitioners from ordinary to extraordinary.

Yukinoshita Yukino stood in the interrogation room of the prison, holding a heavy interrogation report in her hand. Her eyes were like ice, scanning every word in the report, but her heart was full of curiosity about the mystery of the nine-story pagoda.

She closed her eyes, as if replaying the scenes described by those people in the martial arts world in her mind. One floor, one realm, they could indeed feel the surge of spiritual energy there, as if the entire world was providing assistance to their martial arts practice.

And when they stepped onto the second floor, the surrounding grass, trees, mud and rocks seemed to come alive, releasing enough power to hurt people.

Yukinoshita Yukino opened her eyes, and her gaze was gleaming with determination. She knew that the mystery of the nine-story pagoda was far more than that, and she had to climb it herself to experience the power of each realm.

Only in this way can she truly understand this world and become a leader among martial arts practitioners.

Mao Mao's worry was like a sigh in the night wind, quietly passing through Yukinoshita Yukino's heart. She put down the interrogation report and looked at the bright moon outside the window. The silver moonlight sprinkled on her face, adding a bit of softness to her cold face.
