I was humiliated in a world dominated by women

Hong Linghuan couldn't help but think of how her half-elf identity was exposed a few days ago.

She narrowed her beautiful eyes and bowed respectfully, saying, "Disciple knows my mistake."

The Taoist priest ignored her.

At this time, the middle-aged man who was massaging the Taoist woman's shoulders said, "Qingyao, I heard that you and Xiaoheng are planning to get married after the Red Moon Trial? I wonder when exactly?"

The middle-aged man was dressed in an elegant grey shirt and had an extraordinary temperament. Hong Linghuan explained to Mu Nanfeng in her mind, "He is Master's Taoist companion. He seems to be working in the Demon King Palace and doesn't come back to the academy often. But Master got pregnant recently, so he had to leave his job temporarily."

Xuan Qingyao bowed respectfully and replied calmly, "Master Liu, the exact date has not yet been determined, but it will probably be a few days after the Red Moon Trial."

As she spoke, she looked at Luo Heng beside her, put her arm around his waist, and smiled, "I'll listen to Ah Heng as to the specific date."

"No need, this should be decided by you." Luo Heng also smiled gently and said.

"No, you decide."

"It's up to you to decide."

"You come..."

"Alright, alright, what are you two doing here?" The female Taoist stared at Luo Heng, frowned and spoke in a deep voice.

"Disciple knows his mistake." The two men bowed quickly.

"pat-"

At this moment, the middle-aged man who had been massaging the female Taoist's shoulders suddenly felt his legs go limp and he fell directly to the ground.

The three disciples were all startled, but the female Taoist waved her hands and said calmly, "It's okay, he just consumed too much Yin energy. Xiao Heng, help Master to the couch."

Mu Nanfeng hid in the slave seal and glanced at the Taoist priestess. Her belly was slightly bulging, and she must be five months pregnant.

During the pregnancy, the woman's physical condition was no different from usual. She was still as healthy as ever, ate well, slept well, and practiced when she needed to and fought when she needed to.

However, if you want to ensure that your offspring have a better physique and even a talent for cultivation, you need to ensure a stable supply of paternal Yin energy during your wife's pregnancy.

Therefore, generally speaking, when a man’s wife is pregnant, he will quit his current job and stay with his wife at all times, providing stable paternal Yin energy for the fetus, hoping that his offspring will have outstanding talents.

However, unlike the maternal Yin force, the paternal Yin force cannot be directly transmitted to the fetus through the placenta. The paternal Yin force lacks an efficient transmission medium, so generally the father needs to provide more than a hundred times the Yin force of the maternal Yin force. This also led to the situation of the middle-aged man just now...

He placed his hand on the Taoist woman's shoulder for only two hours, and as a Jindan-level cultivator, his Yin energy was quickly exhausted.

For this reason, during pregnancy, the father is generally very weak and sleepy, and needs to sleep about eighteen hours a day.

Even after the fetus is born, the father will have a period of weakness due to the long-term overdraft of his yin energy. He will be very sleepy every day and have no energy at all.

If it is a cultivator, it would be okay, as he can recover quickly with the help of the cyclone in the Dantian sea.

But if it were ordinary people, as men, their Yin energy is already scarce. Using special props to transmit Yin energy to their wife and fetus for ten months is simply too much for their bodies to bear, and it often takes two to three years to recover.

Therefore, the husband cannot work during his wife's pregnancy, which is also the reason why many jobs do not hire men. For example, the Yuxiefang, which is famous for its goddesses, explicitly requires that only women or men who have given birth and promised not to have children in the future are hired in order to maximize efficiency and profits.

Unlike men, women are always energetic during pregnancy because of their extremely strong physique and the supply of Yin energy from their husbands. They are even more excited than usual. The Yin energy in their bodies is always running efficiently, their brains are active, and their work efficiency is greatly improved.

Therefore, pregnancy is not a big deal for women. Some female practitioners even take the initiative to get pregnant in order to gain enlightenment, keep their spirits high, and comprehend the spiritual yin of heaven and earth and the great way of life...

Of course, for women, carrying a baby is also a risky thing. It is not a big deal during pregnancy, but once you reach the delivery stage, the amount of spiritual yin needed by the fetus will increase dramatically, and it is possible that the mother will die due to the fetus's excessive absorption of the mother's spiritual yin.

A fetus born in this way is called a ghost baby, but this situation is rare and is only an exception.

The pregnant Taoist priestess stood up and waved to the three people, "Okay, your master will probably need to sleep for another hour, let's start the class."

"Yes."

The three of them lowered their hands respectfully.

The female Taoist looked at Xuan Qingyao and thought, "Qingyao, since you are here today, you can take your junior sister with you. You take Linghuan to the sword room next door to teach her the third sword move. Xiaoheng is slow in progress, so I will teach him the second sword move here."

Xuan Qingyao hesitated for a while and said thoughtfully,

"Master, why don't you let me teach Xiao Heng how to practice sword..."

The female Taoist glared at Xuan Qingyao: "Are you teaching me? Do you two still have the heart to practice swordsmanship?"

"Okay, disciple obeys your command." Xuan Qingyao nodded helplessly, glanced at Hong Linghuan who had been silent, and walked outside.

Hong Linghuan also bowed to the female Taoist priest and left quickly.

Arriving at the sword room next door, Xuan Qingyao casually threw down a sword manual, raised his chin and said calmly, "Don't overestimate your abilities. Stay away from Xiao Heng in the future."

After saying this, her fairy clothes fluttered, she turned around and walked out of the sword room and left the courtyard.

"What does she mean by this?" Mu Nanfeng felt a little strange.

Hong Linghuan explained helplessly, "She has always regarded me as an imaginary enemy, thinking that I was the one who actively pursued Luo Heng, and even thought that I was the one who spread those rumors. It's really boring..."

"She left like this, isn't she afraid that your master will punish her?"

Hong Linghuan shook her head with a complicated look in her eyes, and said softly, "It was because Master knew that Xuan Qingyao was unwilling to teach me that she asked her to teach me. Master... felt that I had brought shame to her."

Mu Nanfeng understood that this female Taoist also discriminated against half-elves. No matter how outstanding Hong Linghuan's talent in swordsmanship was, once her half-elf identity was exposed, she would not be willing to accept Hong Linghuan as her disciple.

But they couldn't just expel Hong Linghuan from the mountain gate, otherwise others would think she was too heartless and ungrateful. Moreover, there was a rule in the academy that no elder could kick a disciple out of the mountain gate at will unless it was a serious fault.

Therefore, the Taoist woman had no choice but to take a laissez-faire attitude towards Hong Linghua, giving her a sword manual and letting her practice on her own.

"Then what do you do now?"

“I don’t know…” Hong Linghuan picked up the sword manual on the ground and opened it.

"White Moon Dual Swordsmanship - The Third Sword Style (by Bai Mengling)"

"This is a local-level sword technique. It was written by Master when he was enlightened more than 30 years ago. It is very powerful. If Master is unwilling to teach me, I will not be able to learn it with only the simple words in the book."

Hong Linghuan sighed, flipped through the sword manual, and said helplessly.

"Bai Mengling? The name sounds familiar." Mu Nanfeng felt that he had heard this name in the original owner's memory.

"Your Majesty must have heard of this, because Master was once one of the Four Heavenly Maidens."

Hong Linghuan untied the long sword from her waist and placed it on the ground, then sat cross-legged on the mat, flipping through the sword manual while explaining, "Twenty years ago, the four goddesses that were widely circulated in the world were the Third Princess Xia Wu of Daxia, the Saintess Youqin, the Princess of Dasheng, and the Demon Queen of the East Sea, Bai Mengling.

But later, Master's foundation was destroyed because of something wrong in his cultivation, and his realm fell back to the Golden Core Realm. He was no longer a genius, so he was no longer called the Goddess by the world. This title later fell on Xuan Qingyao, who was beginning to show her prowess. "

"But I think it's just like that."

Hong Linghuan tilted her head and supported her chin, sitting cross-legged on the ground with her body swaying back and forth, muttering, "Xuan Qingyao is not even as pretty as me, it's ridiculous that she can be called a goddess. From this, it can be seen that the Princess of Dasheng and the Saintess with the Lute are probably the same kind of stuff."

"..."

Mu Nanfeng rolled his eyes in his heart, "You're overthinking it. They are indeed better looking than you. Besides, the goddesses don't just look at appearance."

“A little better looking?”

Hong Linghuan frowned. She was quite confident in her appearance and couldn't imagine what someone prettier than her looked like. She asked curiously, "Your Majesty has seen them? Oh, that's right. Princess Dasheng is your majesty's aunt, so she must have seen them."

She and I have more than just met...Mu Nanfeng muttered in his heart.

"Is she really more beautiful than the common woman?"

"Ah."

Mu Nanfeng nodded indifferently, but to be honest, Hong Linghuan was indeed very beautiful. If Yuan Bingqi hadn't taken off the veil, it would have been difficult to tell who was better.

But if we really compare, Yuan Bingqi's pure, proud and holy temperament would be slightly better than Hong Linghuan. After all, Hong Linghuan was born in the countryside, and in addition to her stunning looks, her temperament is cute at best, and rustic at worst.

Although she has changed a lot after coming to Yingtian, she still can't change the silly look that appears in her eyes from time to time.

"How can it be?!"

Hong Linghuan was unwilling to admit her appearance was inferior, and she pouted and muttered, "Your Majesty, you can't say she is pretty just because she is your aunt. With a face like this..."

"Alright, alright, are you still going to learn sword?" Mu Nanfeng interrupted her and said in a deep voice.

"I want to learn, but my master won't teach me anymore..."

She blinked, her red eyes fluttering as she stared at Mu Nanfeng, her cheeks flushed as she said with some embarrassment, "I heard that the Yuan royal family practices the Merciless Sword, one of the Three Love Swords. I wonder if Your Majesty would..."

The peerless sword technique, the Merciless Sword, cannot be compared to the Earth-level sword technique created by Bai Mengling. The gap is simply like heaven and earth. Generally, it must not be passed on to outsiders.

So Hong Linghuan felt a little embarrassed. Although Mu Nanfeng had promised to teach her how to practice, she felt that it was still a bit too much to ask for such a peerless sword technique.

Mu Nanfeng is not the original owner, so naturally he does not know the Merciless Sword. Even if he knows it, he cannot teach this crappy sword technique to the other party. After all, this sword technique can easily cause problems in people's brains, it is too crappy.

Seeing Mu Nanfeng's silence, Hong Linghuan also knew that the royal secrets could not be passed on to outsiders, so she did not force him and waved her hand, "If your majesty does not want to, then forget it."

Mu Nanfeng didn't explain much, but just fell into deep thought.

In addition to the Merciless Sword, he also has the Qin Sword and the Immortal Sword from the Immortal Sutra that are equally powerful.

However, he couldn't pass on the Qin Sword to others without his master's consent. As for the Immaculate Sword, the practitioner needed to have a pure mind and a spotless heart. Hong Linghuan obviously did not meet the requirements.

What if I can't teach them? Mu Nanfeng looked at the empty sword room, his eyes shifted to the two sharp swords on the wooden rack in front of him, thinking.

He walked forward slowly, grasped the hilt of one of the long swords, and pulled it out suddenly!

'Om—'

The sword was as powerful as a rainbow and a dragon roared in the room. A dragon-shaped white sword energy suddenly shot out from the sword tip. The dragon roar hit the void. With a click, a crack appeared in the space like shattered glass. The surrounding spiritual energy instantly swirled around the crack and was swallowed by it.

However, after a moment, the crack was repaired by the rules of heaven and earth, and peace returned.

Hong Linghuan's eyes widened, she stood up suddenly, and pouted, "This... is the Merciless Sword?!"

This sword technique is a hundred times more powerful than the Bai Yue Double Sword Technique that Bai Mengling taught her!

Mu Nanfeng shook his head and looked down at the sword in his hand, thinking, "This is called..."

He hasn't decided what to call the sword yet, but the sword move he just made was completely inspired by his feelings.

His talent in swordsmanship began to show when he was learning the Qin and Sword. This talent was not brought by the Divine Wood Dragon Phoenix Body, but was a talent he inherently possessed.

If he had not traveled to this world, he might never have known that he was such a genius in kendo.

Maybe this is fate. The starting point of everything is this inexplicable time travel and this outrageous sacred wood dragon and phoenix body.

In this case, it is called...

"The sacred wood sword!"

Mu Nanfeng was too lazy to come up with a name for himself, and said calmly, "The Divine Wood Dragon and Phoenix Sword Sutra, the sword technique I created myself, do you want to learn it?"

Of course, this so-called sword manual now only has one sword stance, but this is not important. We can just teach and create at the same time. These are all minor problems.

"The Divine Wood Dragon Phoenix...Sword Sutra?" Hong Linghuan blinked and asked curiously, "How does it compare to the Merciless Sword? Which one is more powerful?"

Which one is better? Ha~ Mu Nanfeng raised his chin and said calmly, "Of course my sword scripture is better. Although the Three Love Sword is famous all over the world, it is still slightly inferior to my Divine Wood Sword."

After creating his own sword style just now, he suddenly felt that the Youqin sword taught to him by Youqin Huali was really trash.

He thought that after he completed the sacred wood sword, he would go and compete with his master, and maybe he could hang his master up and beat him.

"Is it so powerful? Your Majesty, are you willing to teach it to me?" Hong Linghuan was a little nervous.

"nature."

Seeing Mu Nanfeng nod, Hong Linghuan was delighted. She immediately knelt down and kowtowed solemnly: "Master, I, your disciple Hong Linghuan, bow to you!"

"???"

Mu Nanfeng quickly dodged, "What are you doing? I didn't say I want to take you as my disciple!"

He already had a disciple, Xia Yuanjun, so he was too lazy to accept another disciple. He said seriously, "Teaching swordsmanship is teaching the law. You don't have to worship me as your master."

Hong Linghuan blinked, thinking it was a pity, and stood up helplessly, "Okay."

In fact, she took this opportunity to become His Majesty's disciple for a purpose. After becoming his disciple, she and His Majesty Shenwu had a closer relationship. If His Majesty Shenwu wanted to retaliate against her in the future, he would spare her because of the friendship between master and disciple.

Unfortunately, His Majesty Shenwu did not want to accept her as a disciple, but she was not discouraged. After all, it was only the second day.

I have plenty of time. Hong Linghua's eyes sparkled as she smiled and said, "Then Your Majesty, let's start learning swordsmanship today."

Mu Nanfeng glanced at the surroundings and thought, "It's not safe here after all. If I'm not careful, someone will find me. Bai Mengling doesn't want to care about you anymore, so let's find a more secluded place."

"Alright."

Nodding, Hong Linghuan took back Mu Nanfeng's slave seal and quickly left the courtyard, heading to the remote north to look for an uninhabited forest.

But when she was halfway there, she touched her waist and realized that she had forgotten to take her sword, which she had left next to the cushion.

She had no choice but to return the same way.

But just as I approached the courtyard and passed by my master's sword room, I could hear faint men's groans and women's soft moans coming from the sword room.

Hong Linghuan paused and stood there in a daze.

"Who?" Bai Mengling's cold and murderous voice came from inside the house.
