Zongwu: Eavesdropping on the inner voices, the female warriors have become strange

"Ten ounces of gold is enough for you to buy a few maids to take care of you."

"Sir, you are so beautiful, why did you buy my ugly granddaughter?" Laodenuo shook his head again and again and said, "Wouldn't it be better if you used the money to buy some maids?"

"It's because your daughter is ugly that she can bring out my beauty!" Huang Rong argued.

Laudno: ...

What you said makes so much sense, I can't even refute it.

"Twenty taels of gold." Huang Rong threw another ten taels of gold to Lao Denuo, and with her hand on the hilt of her sword, she warned him, "That's already twenty taels of gold. If you dare to complain again, don't blame me for getting angry."

Laudno: ...

Looking at Huang Rong, Lu Wushuang, and Hong Lingbo, who were eager to kill and rob people, Lao Denuo felt melancholy. What kind of thing was this? If he dared to resist, his identity would be exposed, and even if he did, he might not be able to win...

Well, there's no way he could beat her. Seeing the marks left by Huang Rong's sudden sword-drawing, Lao Denuo felt even more melancholy. But if he didn't resist, Yue Lingshan would be taken away, and then Yue Buqun would have to skin him alive.

"Rong'er, aren't you going too far by forcing this girl to buy you?" Chen Liu didn't know why Huang Rong suddenly wanted to force Yue Lingshan to buy her.

"Yue Lingshan is nice, quite kind. But there are so many beauties in this Zongwu world, I can't possibly take them all in. Someone like Yue Lingshan is probably just an ordinary commodity."

Yue Lingshan was so angry that she almost gnashed her teeth. What do you mean? I'm just an ordinary person? I'm pretty too, okay? Although not as pretty as those two or three women, I'm not any less beautiful than your other women.

"Oh, Brother Chenliu, don't worry about it. I think this girl is quite attractive to me." Huang Rong said, "Besides, we're not very familiar with the Ming Dynasty. Who knows, buying a few Ming people might be beneficial to us?"

Chen Liu:......

"Grandpa, why don't I just go with them?" Yue Lingshan's voice was clear and pleasant, tugging at Laudenuo's sleeve. She could see that the beautiful girl was determined to have her. Now it was their turn to resist and be killed. If she didn't resist and went along obediently, Laudenuo could still notify her parents to come and rescue her. She could also hear the handsome young man's thoughts, as if he even knew the future? So she decided to follow him for a while, to see if she could learn more secrets.

Lao Denuo's lips trembled twice, and he felt a slight toothache. If Yue Lingshan followed the others, her identity would likely be exposed. But he had no other choice but to return the two gold bars to Huang Rong and said, "Since you have taken a fancy to my granddaughter, I hope you will treat her well. I will not accept this money."

Taking money would mean selling her. This was Yue Buqun's daughter, his own flesh and blood. How could he dare to sell her? Not taking money meant that Yue Lingshan was no longer Huang Rong's, and it would be easier to get her back later. If he took the money, then Yue Lingshan would be Huang Rong's. If she refused to let her go, then there would be no choice but to fight.

"This is the money your granddaughter earned from selling her body. If I give it to you, it's yours." Huang Rong was going to give the money on purpose. How could Yue Lingshan become hers if she didn't give her the money?

Laudno: ...

"Can you ride a horse?"

“I’ve ridden it.”

"Okay, Wushuang, you and Lingbo will ride together later, and give your horse to her. By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Wan'er."

"Wan'er? Wan'er is Wan'er."

"Oh my god, Rong'er bought Yue Lingshan like that? This is too much! If we take Yue Lingshan away, I think the Laodenuo Hotel will be closed down. Then Yue Lingshan won't meet Lin Pingzhi again? Will Lin Pingzhi's fate be rewritten? Forget it, I'll just buy her. I guess Lin Pingzhi's fate can't be changed. Yu Aizi from the Qingcheng Sect is here to steal the Lin family's Chicken-Cutting Sword Technique. Regardless of whether Lin Pingzhi killed his son or not, the Fuwei Escort Agency will not be able to change its fate of being wiped out."

Chen Liu is not a saint, it is impossible for him to take care of everything, he can't manage it, he can only take care of himself. You can say he is cold and indifferent, or you can say he is heartless, after living in the world of Zongwu for a few months, he has also begun to slowly change his character. Don't look at the people in "Swordsman" as weak, but there are many masters in the Ming Dynasty, and there are even more vicious people, such as Yao Yue, Shi Guanyin, Lin Xian'er, Bai Feifei, Murong Qiudi, Jellyfish Yin Ji, the young master, the Azure Dragon Society, the Ten Evils, the Twelve Zodiac Signs, Shangguan Jinhong, the Five Poison Boys, the Great Joy Bodhisattva, etc. The Ming Dynasty is too dangerous, and the strongest among them is Wang Yuyan, she can't do anything wild, and she has to keep a low profile.

Moreover, Chen Liu didn't have much affection for Lin Pingzhi. In this world of martial arts, the only male protagonists Chen Liu had a good impression of were probably Guo Jing, Gou Zazhong, and Di Yun. Others, like Qiao Feng, while heroic, weren't exactly good people. As the saying goes, a hero breaks the law with his martial arts. When Qiao Feng ran out of money, he still broke into government offices to steal silver to support his lavish spending. Yang Guo was merciless but irresponsible, leaving girls like Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang alone for the rest of their lives. Zhang Wuji was too indecisive. Since he didn't want Xiao Zhao, he accepted her without hesitation rather than letting her return to the Western Regions to become a saint. Linghu Chong and Wei Xiaobao, let alone him. As for the male protagonists in Gu Long's novels, the only one Chen Liu wanted to swear brotherhood with was Xiao Li Tanhua.

Of course, Lin Ping was a good person at first, but the reason why he became like that later was largely due to the extermination of his family. He wanted to use the Huashan Sect to seek revenge, but he met Yue Buqun, who had bad intentions and wanted to steal his Lin family's chicken-cutting sword technique. That's why his temperament changed drastically and he took his anger out on Yue Lingshan.

Taking Yue Lingshan away should be able to change her fate of being killed.

Yue Lingshan's expression changed slightly. "I was killed? Who killed me? Just tell me!" No, I was thinking about it! Yue Lingshan was almost furious. How could she stop thinking about it halfway?

Since I've encountered The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, let's go to Hengshan. It's worth seeing the excitement. I wanted to see the Fuwei Escort Agency get wiped out, but I'm already out of town and have no excuse to go back! Besides, who knows when the Fuwei Escort Agency will be wiped out? What if Shorty Yu takes days or even decades to arrive? I can't wait for days or even decades, can I? Forget it, let's go to Hengshan.

"let's go."

Chapter 135 Yue Lingshan (Part )

"Yue Lingshan?"

During the night break, while Chen Liu was being pulled away by Wang Yuyan again, Huang Rong entered Yue Lingshan's room. She looked at her with a half-smile and said, "Take off your disguise. Your disguise is so poor that I lose my appetite just looking at it."

"You, you..."

"That's what you think." Huang Rong walked over to Yue Lingshan and lowered her voice, saying, "We can all hear it. Otherwise, how could you imagine there would be so many girls surrounding Brother Chen Liu?"

"You can all hear it?" Although she had already guessed it, Yue Lingshan was still a little shocked when it was confirmed. She asked, "What on earth is going on?"

"We don't know either."

"You don't know?"

“Isn’t it normal not to know?”

Yue Lingshan: ...

"Ah! She's pretty!" Yue Lingshan, while not a stunning beauty, was still considered a beauty. According to Chen Liu's rating of the other girls, she was at least 87 or 88 points, on par with A-Bi. Of the girls surrounding Chen Liu, the most beautiful were Wang Yuyan and Huang Rong, both above 95 points. Mu Wanqing and Guo Fu were around 92 or 93, Guo Xiang, Zhong Ling, and A-Zhu were around 90, A-Bi was 88, and Hong Lingbo was slightly behind, around 85 or 86, though she had the fullest figure. Lu Wushuang, though young and still young, was also a rare beauty.

Although women of this era wore makeup, they were not like women of later generations, who looked 80 points with makeup on but looked awful after removing it. Therefore, women who were rated 80 points or above by Chenliu were already very beautiful. If they wore makeup like women of later generations, they would be at least 90 points, or even 95 points or above, which is considered superstar-level.

Huang Rong was quite satisfied with Yue Lingshan's appearance. She was not particularly beautiful and could not threaten her, but she was not bad looking either. The key was that she did not seem to have any scheming intentions, and such people were easier to control.

"If you stay with Brother Chen Liu, you need to pay attention to a few things. The most important thing is that you absolutely must not let Brother Chen Liu know that we can hear his thoughts. Secondly, you must listen to me and Sister Yuyan. Thirdly..."

Huang Rong carefully explained to Yue Lingshan the things she needed to pay attention to while staying with Chen Liu. This was something the other women had already reached a consensus on. Even if they would fight openly or secretly among themselves, these precautions must not be violated. Especially keeping the matter of Chen Liu secret was the most important thing. Of course, after listening to her and Wang Yuyan, this point was added by Huang Rong herself.

"Brother Chen Liu is not from our world. We are like characters in vernacular novels, and our world is made up of many vernacular novels. Brother Chen Liu has read the vernacular novels about us, so he knows the fate of all of us, and also knows a lot of secrets, treasures, and secret books. You just need to understand it in your heart after hearing it, and pretend that you know nothing on the surface..." After saying the precautions, Huang Rong went on to explain Chen Liu's origins and the information she learned from Chen Liu, so as to prevent Yue Lingshan from being unaware and being startled by any news and revealing her secrets.

Yue Lingshan was in a trance, unable to recover for a long time. The amount of information Huang Rong revealed was too much for her to absorb all at once.

"So, what Brother Chen Liu said about me being killed is also true?"

"Don't you believe it? Why are you asking? If you don't believe it, are you willing to follow us?"

"Why, why do you want to follow Brother Chen, Chen Liu?"

"Do you believe that there are immortals in this world?" Huang Rong asked in a low voice.

"Ah?" Yue Lingshan exclaimed, then suddenly remembered something and quickly shut up.

"Do you want to become an immortal?"

"what?"

"Do you want to stay young forever?"

"what?"

"Do you want to live forever?"

"what?"

"There must be immortals in this world."

There was some confusion on Yue Lingshan's face.

"Who else could have integrated so many vernacular novels into our world? Someone who could integrate the world of vernacular novels must be an immortal." Huang Rong said confidently.

Yue Lingshan suddenly understood what was said and nodded repeatedly.

"Have you ever thought about this? Brother Chen Liu is so special. Who sent him to our world? What is his connection with that immortal?"

Yue Lingshan's eyes lit up when she heard this, but she was still a little hesitant. She lowered her voice and asked softly, "Are you sure?"

"No." Huang Rong looked at Yue Lingshan as if she were an idiot.

"Then you guys..." Yue Lingshan was a little confused.

"Have you ever seen a fairy before?" Huang Rong asked.

Yue Lingshan shook her head.

"Have you ever seen someone as special as Brother Chenliu before?" Huang Rong asked again.

Yue Lingshan shook her head again.

"We can only gamble now, because only by following Brother Chen Liu can we have a chance to cultivate immortality and achieve immortality." Huang Rong said, "Even if there is only a slim chance, no one is willing to give up."

Yue Lingshan nodded. If it were her, she wouldn't give up. Besides, Chen Liu had said she would die, so her original fate must have been bad. If she followed Chen Liu, she would not only have the opportunity to find out how she died and change her fate, but also the opportunity to cultivate immortality. Only a fool would refuse.

"We are now divided into two groups," Huang Rong said. "One is the Tianlong people, led by Wang Yuyan. There are five of them: Wang Yuyan, Mu Wanqing, Zhong Ling, Ah Zhu, and Ah Bi. The other is the Condor Heroes people, led by me. The strongest one is Wang Yuyan, who is now a Grandmaster."

Yue Lingshan's forehead was covered in sweat when she heard this. Luckily, she and her second senior brother, Lao Denuo, hadn't fought today, otherwise she might have been dead. Yue Lingshan was only a second-rate warrior, while Lao Denuo was a first-rate one. Even her father was only an innate master. But Wang Yuyan was a master. She wouldn't need a second move to kill them.

"There are six of us here: me, Mu Nianci, Lu Wushuang, Hong Lingbo, and the two Guo Fu and Guo Xiang who are not here right now. As for you, according to Brother Chen Liu, you should be a character from a storybook called The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. We are relatively weak, so we need to unite to fight against the Tianlong people and compete for their favor."

Yue Lingshan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then her eyes rolled and her mind shifted. It seemed that cooperating with Huang Rong was not as good as joining forces with Wang Yuyan, who was a master, a master.

"Don't try to please Wang Yuyan." Huang Rong knew what Yue Lingshan was thinking when she saw her expression, and sneered twice.

"Ah? I didn't." Yue Lingshan shook her head repeatedly.

"All Tianlong people are sisters," Huang Rong said. "Wang Yuyan, Mu Wanqing, Ah Zhu, and Zhong Ling are half-sisters. Ah Bi also grew up with Wang Yuyan and Ah Zhu, and they are even closer than real sisters. Furthermore, Wang Yuyan, relying on her high level of cultivation, is extremely overbearing. She wouldn't even share with her own sisters, so how could you imagine taking food from her? Dream on."

Chapter 136 Yue Lingshan (Part )

"Brother Chen, Chen Liu!" The next morning, Yue Lingshan, who had removed her disguise and restored her original appearance, glanced at Chen Liu, then lowered her head, her face slightly flushed.

Last night, Yue Lingshan and Huang Rong had a long chat. What most moved Yue Lingshan was Huang Rong's suggestion that following Chen Liu would not only give her a chance to change her fate, but also the chance to cultivate immortality and achieve immortality. That was cultivating immortality, and achieving immortality—it was something everyone wanted, and she wanted it too.

Of course, to gain this opportunity, one must pay a price, and that price is herself. Huang Rong said that the greatest asset of these women is that they are women. And Chen Liu, being lustful, would certainly not be able to resist their active embrace. When Chen Liu has the opportunity to become an immortal in the future, can he forget them?

In the past, Huang Rong was absolutely unwilling to share Chen Liu with other women, so she would try her best to avoid letting more women get involved in sharing Chen Liu. But when Chen Liu first had an engagement with Wang Yuyan and then became husband and wife with Wang Yuyan, Huang Rong's thoughts changed. Her biggest rival now was not other women, but Wang Yuyan. Wang Yuyan was not only Chen Liu's legitimate fiancée, but also a powerful warrior. If she didn't want to be inferior to Wang Yuyan and become a concubine, then the best option would be to become Chen Liu's left and right wives like Wang Yuyan. So how could she be on equal footing with Wang Yuyan? In addition to improving her cultivation as much as possible, she also had to recruit as many allies as possible.

Huang Rong had come to terms with it. It was impossible for her to monopolize Chen Liu, and even preventing other women from approaching him was difficult. You're smart, but others aren't stupid either. While they might not immediately think of Chen Liu as a place where they could find opportunities, as long as they think about it carefully, they'll eventually come to their senses. Would they still be willing to give up Chen Liu then? Yes, there are definitely such women, but they're a minority. Many more are drawn to the benefits Chen Liu offers, gravitating toward him like moths to a flame.

Although Huang Rong hasn't yet ascended to power, she's already begun preparing for a future battle with Wang Yuyan for favor and power. They're certainly weaker than Wang Yuyan now, but if she can win over enough younger sisters who are willing to listen to her, will Wang Yuyan ever be able to compete with her? Yue Lingshan is the first step in Huang Rong's plan. Next up is Qu Feiyan, whom Chen Liu mentioned, as well as Xiao Zhao, Shuang'er, Zeng Rou, and others. As long as Chen Liu has a favorable impression of them, Huang Rong is ready to bring them on board. With so many younger sisters, how could Wang Yuyan possibly compete with her? As for those younger sisters who disobey, it's impossible. Huang Rong believes that under Wang Yuyan's pressure, she can control them.

"Huh? Why have you become more beautiful?" Chen Liu couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw Yue Lingshan's true appearance restored.

Yue Lingshan has regained her true appearance. Could it be that her identity has been exposed? Even so, Rong'er is so smart. It would be nearly impossible for Yue Lingshan to hide the truth from her.

Yue Lingshan: ...

It was you who exposed my identity. As long as you think about something, we will know it.

Yue Lingshan possesses a natural, kind, and affectionate personality. Because her parents cherish her as their precious jewel, she also possesses a certain pride and willfulness. She isn't worldly-wise or naive, and she's not scheming. She's also known for her beauty. In the original novel, her affection for Lin Pingzhi stems not only from his difficult life story, which arouses her maternal instinct, but also from his handsomeness.

Chen Liu was handsome, so Yue Lingshan was naturally attracted to him. Huang Rong's deception made her forget Linghu Chong easily. In reality, Yue Lingshan didn't love Linghu Chong. Linghu Chong was seven or eight years older than her, and she always treated him like a brother. Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze also raised Linghu Chong like their own son, so how could Yue Lingshan not know this? Furthermore, Linghu Chong was frivolous and playful, with a willful love for alcohol. Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze had no intention of betrothing Yue Lingshan to him. It had always been Linghu Chong's one-sided love for Yue Lingshan, and it was also the Huashan brothers who always believed they were a couple.

"Brother Chenliu, this is Yue Lingshan, the only daughter of Yue Buqun, the leader of the Donghua Mountain Sect." Huang Rong covered up Yue Lingshan's lie. "Actually, not long after I bought her yesterday, I discovered she was disguised, so I interrogated her last night and easily figured it out."

"Since Miss Yue is from the Donghua Mountain Sect, let's forget about buying her and let her go back." Chen Liu said.
