Before her transformation, Zhiruo was quite nice, filial and polite, though her personality is now a bit soft. After her transformation, Zhiruo became extremely vicious, most likely driven mad by her master and Zhang Wuji. The old thief nun Miejue forced her to swear not to fall in love with Zhang Wuji, lest her parents rest in peace in the afterlife. She would also transform into a fierce ghost and haunt her day and night, saying that if she bore children with Zhang Wuji, the male would be enslaved for generations, and the female would be prostituted for generations. Thus, Zhiruo ultimately broke her vow for love and married Zhang Wuji. However, on their wedding day, Zhang Wuji left with Zhao Min. How could Zhiruo not resent him? It's no wonder she later became so vicious.
Zhou Zhiruo thought to herself, "So Master also forced me to swear an oath not to fall in love with Zhang Wuji? Zhang Wuji is truly heartless and ungrateful. I... well, I will never fall in love with Zhang Wuji again."
Unconsciously, Zhou Zhiruo's way of addressing Zhang Wuji had changed from Brother Wuji to Zhang Wuji.
Chen Liu thought for a moment and said, "Wait a few days. I'm a little worried about you going on this journey alone. In the next few days, I'll teach you the Dugu Nine Swords and the Spiral Nine Shadows, and then the White Python Whip Technique."
"Thank you, Brother Chenliu." Zhou Zhiruo was overjoyed when she heard that.
Chapter 182 Zhou Zhiruo
Zhou Zhiruo's aptitude is indeed good, even better than many girls around Chen Liu. The only ones who have better aptitude and comprehension than her are probably Wang Yuyan and Huang Rong.
However, Huang Rong's mind was overwhelmed, and she couldn't focus. Her cultivation progressed very slowly, even lagging behind the extremely dedicated Mu Nianci. Of all the girls around Chen Liu, Mu Nianci was the most diligent in her practice. After learning that the "Small Wuxiang Gong" could grant eternal youth, she burst into a burst of enthusiasm. Every woman wouldn't want to maintain her youthful appearance, and Mu Nianci naturally wanted to do the same.
Of course, if Zhou Zhiruo's aptitude and understanding were not good, Nun Miejue would not have chosen her as her successor. In just two days, Zhou Zhiruo mastered the Spiral Nine Shadows and the White Python Whip Technique, demonstrating her strong affinity with the Nine Yin Manual.
[Should we go get the Nine Yin Manual back? ]
Seeing that Zhou Zhiruo's martial arts were very compatible with the Nine Yin Scriptures, Chen Liu, who had originally given up the idea of looking for the Nine Yin Scriptures, started to think about it again.
[But the Nine Yin Scriptures are in the Song Dynasty. Forget it, I won't think about it now. If there's a chance in the future, I'll go get it back.]
Chen Liu's teaching place was beside a small lake on the back of Mount Hua, a little distance away from both the Huashan Sword Sect and Feng Qingyang's retreat. To the north of the lake, there was a cliff with a waterfall several dozen feet long cascading down into the lake. Surrounding the lake were towering trees.
Bumps and bruises are inevitable when teaching. No one knows whether it was intentional or unintentional, and no one knows who took the initiative first. Anyway, as they were teaching, Chen Liu and Zhou Zhiruo hugged each other.
Zhou Zhiruo was interested in him, and Chen Liu was also very satisfied with her appearance. All love begins with appearance. Since Zhou Zhiruo took the initiative to come to him, Chen Liu had no reason to refuse.
"Brother Chen Liu, you can't abandon me." During the rest, Zhou Zhiruo sat on Chen Liu's legs, breathing a little quickly, and Chen Liu's hand reached into her clothes.
"Of course I won't abandon you." Chen Liu lingered on Zhou Zhiruo's sizable chest and said, "Why don't you just not return to your master?"
"No." Zhou Zhiruo shook her head and said, "Master is very good to me. Even if I want to be with Brother Chenliu, I should at least go back and tell Master."
"How about sometime, I can go back with you and ask your master for marriage?" Chen Liu asked.
Zhou Zhiruo was tempted, but her goal this time was to retrieve the Heavenly Sword, something she couldn't tell Chen Liu about. She also wanted to get the Sword back, but how to do it without arousing Nun Miejue's suspicion was something she would need to figure out after she returned.
"Brother Chenliu, please take me." Zhou Zhiruo's breathing became more and more rapid.
"Next time." Chen Liu pulled his hand away. He felt Zhou Zhiruo was still a little small. Besides, it wasn't convenient right now. Yue Lingshan, who was bringing them food, was almost here.
This time, not only Yue Lingshan came, but Wang Yuyan, Azhu and Abi also came.
"Husband, the scenery here is beautiful!" Wang Yuyan was visiting this small lake for the first time. After taking a look at the scenery around the lake, she said, "Why don't we build a manor here?"
"We are about to leave, and we probably won't come to Huashan very often in the future. What's the point of building a manor?" Chen Liu said.
Of course, we can't let you be alone with Zhou Zhiruo anymore! Look at Zhou Zhiruo's appearance. If we hadn't come, you would have eaten her already.
While the Spiral Nine Shadows and White Python Whip techniques were easy to learn, the Dugu Nine Swords proved more challenging. After noticing the rapid development of Chen Liu's relationship with Zhou Zhiruo, Wang Yuyan, Huang Rong, and the other girls were reluctant to leave Zhou Zhiruo alone with Chen Liu. Even Huang Rong joined Zhou Zhiruo in learning the Dugu Nine Swords, much to Zhou Zhiruo's dismay. Chen Liu then gathered all the girls together to teach them. However, only Huang Rong and Zhou Zhiruo understood, with Qu Feiyan barely able to comprehend. The rest of the girls were too slow to grasp the technique and simply couldn't learn.
Chen Liu's instruction lasted over ten days, and he only managed to teach Huang Rong and Zhou Zhiruo. Qu Feiyan was still practicing the Sword Breaking Style. The other girls, after a day of listening in bewilderment, began to research how to build the manor on Mount Hua. They continued to listen, but they couldn't understand.
In addition to teaching Zhou Zhiruo martial arts, Chen Liu also taught her the art of disguise. After all, Zhou Zhiruo was so beautiful. She returned to reunite with her master and set out on her own. For a beautiful girl to travel alone, even if she possessed martial arts skills, it would be very dangerous. But if she disguised herself as an ugly monster, it would be much safer.
"Brother Chen Liu, I'm leaving!"
"Be careful on the road."
"Brother Chen Liu, can you please see me off?"
"Okay! I'll take you down the mountain."
"Thank you, Brother Chen Liu!"
Seeing Zhou Zhiruo's pretentious, weak and pitiful appearance, Huang Rong curled her lips quietly. However, she did not expose Zhou Zhiruo. Although Zhou Zhiruo was a scheming woman, she was not only harmless but also beneficial to her. As long as Zhou Zhiruo and Wang Yuyan fought, she would be able to profit from it.
Although Huang Rong and Wang Yuyan and the other girls appeared to be getting along well on the surface, who didn't have selfish motives deep down? Even Hong Lingbo, Lu Wushuang, and Qu Feiyan were vying for the position of personal maid.
Although Wang Yuyan currently held the upper hand, this didn't mean Huang Rong would give up the fight for the position of First Wife. Even if she failed, she would still be on equal footing with Wang Yuyan, not inferior to her! Unfortunately, her two daughters were away, and Lu Wushuang and Hong Lingbo were powerless. Mu Nianci was content to be her concubine. If Chen Liu slept in her room, she would happily entertain him with all her might. If he slept in another room, she would peacefully cultivate, awaiting his next visit, never considering competing for anything.
After seeing Zhou Zhiruo off, Chen Liu also bid farewell to Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze and left the Huashan Sword Sect.
When Chen Liu and Wang Yuyan and other girls left Huashan, Lianxing also received the message that Huang Rong asked the palace maids of Yihua Palace to send back.
"Ice and Fire Island? Dragon Slaying Sword?"
Lian Xing turned to find Yao Yue and said, "Sister, this is news from Sister Rong'er. She said that Xie Xun, the Golden Lion King of the Ming Cult, is likely on an ice island with an active volcano, and he has the Dragon Slaying Sword. Sister Rong'er asked me to find a way to bring the Dragon Slaying Sword back. Zhou Zhiruo has also returned to her master to seek the Heavenly Sword."
"Dragon Slaying Sword? Heavenly Sword? Do they believe that rumor?" Yao Yue asked after looking at the news from Huang Rong.
Lian Xing smiled and said, "Young Master Chen Liu said that the Dragon Slaying Sword was supposed to contain a military strategy, while the Heavenly Sword was supposed to contain the Nine Yin Manual and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms."
Yao Yue snorted coldly and said, "Can military tactics be used to slay dragons like a precious sword, commanding the whole world to obey? You're quite boastful! What kind of military tactics could have such power?"
This isn't an ordinary martial arts world, but one with celestial beings and even earthly immortals. No matter how many troops you have, they're useless against celestial beings and earthly immortals. Only celestial beings can deal with celestial beings, and only earthly immortals can deal with earthly immortals.
Lian Xing said, "Master Chen Liu speculated that the contents of the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Heavenly Sword in our world might be related to cultivation, but he only speculated and has not yet confirmed it. Sister Rong'er asked us to retrieve the Dragon Slaying Sword and examine it together with the Heavenly Sword to see if it is as Master Chen Liu speculated."
Yao Yue heard this and thought it made sense, so she said, "Send the palace maids out on a boat to search north. If they find Xie Xun, tell them not to alert him and bring the news back first."
"Yes, sister!" Lian Xing turned around and arranged for the palace maids to go east into the sea to find the Ice and Fire Island.
Chapter 183 Li Xunhuan (Part )
Baoding.
When Chen Liu walked into Tianxiang Garden, he saw Li Xunhuan, who was acting dissolutely in the garden and drinking with a prostitute.
Chen Liu was preparing to go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. It was said that in three months, Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng, the two pretentious guys, would have a decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City. Chen Liu was unwilling to miss this good show.
To get from Huashan Sword Sect to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, one must pass through Baoding. After arriving in Baoding, Chen Liu learned that Li Xunhuan had not yet sent his cousin Lin Shiyin away, which surprised Chen Liu, but also seemed natural.
Originally, Chen Liu thought that Sun Xiaohong was already that old and Long Xiaoyun had already jumped out, but he didn't expect the timeline to be messed up again.
Although Lin Shiyin hadn't been sent away yet, it would be soon. Li Xunhuan had already started hanging out in brothels, and had been doing so for quite some time. If Chen Liu didn't come, it was likely that Lin Shiyin would soon, out of despair, throw herself into Long Xiaoyun's arms.
Since Li Xunhuan was still in Baoding, Chen Liu naturally wanted to meet Li Tanhua, who liked to give his cousin and his property as gifts. After finding an inn to settle down, Chen Liu went out to inquire about Li Xunhuan's whereabouts and found him in a brothel.
[Tsk tsk, the most miserable hero in the martial arts world, and the best brother.]
Chen Liu brought Wang Yuyan and Huang Rong, who were disguised as men, into Tianxiang Garden and met Li Xunhuan.
In a corner, Lin Shiyin, who was also dressed as a man, looked up with some confusion at Chen Liu, Wang Yuyan and Huang Rong who had just entered the hall.
Lin Shiyin actually knew that Li Xunhuan wanted to give her to Long Xiaoyun, but she liked Li Xunhuan, not Long Xiaoyun. And since Long Xiaoyun liked her, Li Xunhuan gave her up. What did he think of her? She was Li Xunhuan's fiancée! This made Lin Shiyin very angry. So she often disguised herself as a man and followed Li Xunhuan to the brothel, wanting to see how long he would pretend to be so.
Li Xunhuan also knew that Lin Shiyin had disguised herself as a man and entered the brothel, so he became even more unruly, often staying in the brothel, and even often spending the night with several prostitutes. He just wanted to disappoint Lin Shiyin and make her choose Long Xiaoyun.
In fact, Li Xunhuan himself was also very painful to let Lin Shiyin go, but seeing Long Xiaoyun becoming increasingly thin and haggard, he could not bear to do it. On one side was his brother who saved his life, and on the other side was his fiancée. In the end, Li Xunhuan chose his brother and gave up Lin Shiyin.
"Li Tanhua?" Chen Liu looked closely at Li Xunhuan, whose hair looked a little disheveled and whose clothes were not very neat. Li Xunhuan was tall, not shorter than Chen Liu, and even a little taller than him.
Is this the Li Xunhuan that my husband (Brother Chenliu) had mentioned, the one he wanted to become sworn brothers with? Wang Yuyan and Huang Rong also took a closer look at Li Xunhuan, their lips curled slightly. Li Xunhuan was quite good-looking, but he was simply not very helpful, so Wang Yuyan and Huang Rong disliked him.
What's the difference between a man like Li Xunhuan and Murong Fu? Murong Fu betrayed her to restore his country, while Li Xunhuan betrayed Lin Shiyin for the sake of so-called brotherhood. They are both the same kind of people, so Wang Yuyan naturally doesn't like him.
"Who are you?" Li Xunhuan looked drunk, his eyes were a little blurry, but the occasional flash of light showed that he was just pretending to be drunk.
"My name is Chen Liu." Chen Liu said with a smile.
"Young Master Xihua?" Li Xunhuan was a little surprised.
"Mr. Xihua?" Chen Liu showed a puzzled look.
"The nickname given to you by the Jianghu people."
"I do not know how?"
"It just came out not long ago."
Chen Liu complained, "That's so fucking ugly."
"Haha..." Li Xun Huan laughed out loud, saying, "You even bring women with you to a brothel. Calling you a flower-loving gentleman isn't an exaggeration."
Li Xunhuan has sharp eyes and can see at a glance that Wang Yuyan and Huang Rong are women disguised as men.
"Please don't call me Young Master Xihua, okay? If I find out who spread the rumor, I'll blow his head off." Chen Liu said a little depressed.
"Haha..." Li Xunhuan laughed out loud again, but there seemed to be some sadness in his laughter.
"Okay, what do you want from me, Mr. Chen?"
"I just wanted to see yours."
"Look at me?" Li Xunhuan was a little confused.
"Correct!"
"What do I have to see?"
"I've heard that Xiao Li's flying dagger never misses its target. I happened to be passing through Baoding, so I wanted to come and see you."
[Such a good brother, if he likes his fiancée, he will give her and his property as a gift. It would be a shame if he doesn't come to visit and become sworn brothers with him.]
Huang Rong:......
Wang Yuyan: ...
Lin Shiyin: ...
Has our story spread outside? Someone even came here specifically to become sworn brothers with my cousin?
Lin Shiyin disliked Chen Liu. After all, his intentions were not pure. He had sworn brotherhood with his cousin for her sake and was no good. He was even worse than Long Xiaoyun. At least Long Xiaoyun only loved her, unlike the man in front of her, who was just a womanizer and even earned the nickname "Flower-Cherishing Young Master".
What puzzled Lin Shiyin was why she could hear the man's thoughts. It definitely wasn't martial arts, nor was it some special technique Chen Liu had used to deliberately let her hear. She could tell Chen Liu didn't even know she could hear his thoughts.
"Do you want to see my flying knife?" Li Xunhuan looked at Chen Liu with a half-smile on his face.
"No, no, no!" Chen Liu quickly shook his head and said with a smile, "I don't have the confidence, nor the ability, to dodge your flying knife. I heard that your flying knife has magical properties. It is a weapon that transcends the laws of physics and the law of cause and effect!"
"A weapon that transcends the laws of causality in physics?" Li Xunhuan was a little confused. He didn't understand what this meant, but he knew that Chen Liu was praising the power of his flying knife.
"Go away." Li Xunhuan said suddenly.
Chen Liu showed a puzzled look on his face.
"I can see that you have other purposes. You don't want to come to see me, but I don't have anything for you to worry about." Li Xunhuan said.
