Having selected divine weapons from the Sword Storing Pavilion, Jiang Shouzhong and his group said goodbye.
Because he had the Dragon Slaying Sword, Jiang Shouzhong didn’t bother to choose one for himself, instead picking one out for each of Ran Qingchen, Li Nanshuang, Xia He, Er Liang, Yeying, Zhang, and Jia.
Won must not be forgotten, but brothers even less so.
Giving gifts to won might get you blocked, but giving them to brothers earns you the title of "foster father."
As for Yelü Miaomiao, Zhang Que’er, and others, since they had parted ways for the ti being, it wasn’t late to wait until they t again to give gifts.
ngniang only liked to lick and didn’t need a weapon.
Qiuye’s relationship hadn’t been confird yet, so the gift would wait until it was.
Even though Ran Qingchen verbally declined, when Jiang Shouzhong gave her a pair of ear pendants slash hidden weapons nad "teors," she didn’t say another word and tightly grasped them in her hand, her actions contradicting her previous objections.
For Jiang Shouzhong, this trip to Famous Sword Villa was entirely an unexpected delight.
It was a bountiful harvest.
Without the fortuitous encounter with Yuan Anjiang, such gains would have been impossible.
So, for the great benefactor Yuan Anjiang, Jiang Shouzhong was very generous, with a wave of his hand, he gave two words, "Thank you."
Giving away so many treasures all at once, Jiang Shouzhong suddenly had the illusion of being a wasteful scion, but after all, they were unexpected wealth, and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future to slowly accumulate a fortune... Jiang always had a good mindset.
"Jiang, Lord Ran, please wait a mont."
As they walked out of the villa’s main gate, Mo Bailing hurriedly chased after them.
Mo Bailing took out a folded piece of paper and handed it to Ran Qingchen, "Lord Ran, this is from our young master for you."
Ran Qingchen frowned slightly, about to refuse instinctively when Mo Bailing handed another piece of paper to Jiang Shouzhong, "Jiang, this is for you from our young master."
"?"
Jiang Shouzhong was surprised for a mont before taking the paper.
It read a line – Fair ladies are hard to co by; cherish as you go.
Ran Qingchen unfolded the paper.
There was also a line – No return at the turn, the end is demonic. Heaven does not accommodate , so why should I respect heaven?
Both were puzzled and wanted to ask further, but Mo Bailing had already gone.
...
Inside the carriage, Jiang Shouzhong fiddled with a magnet he had selected from the Sword Storing Pavilion.
At first, Jiang Shouzhong had thought that the pavilion only contained swords forged by Famous Sword Villa, but he had discovered that it also collected various other treasures, not just the eighteen types of weapons but also so magic artifacts.
The black magnet he held was nad "Thousand Catties Stone."
When attached to a weapon, it would create a powerful magnetic force during swings, not only sharpening the blade but adding an extraordinary weight to it, enough to shake boulders and pierce through armor.
Jiang Shouzhong planned to give it to Li Nanshuang.
Mr. Li had an Innate Vajra Body, and his weapon was a heavy-bladed grave spade – it couldn’t be more suitable.
"Jiang, you’ve truly been silent, but once you act, you astonish everyone," Yuan Anjiang joked.
Jiang Shouzhong grinned, "I’ve already made so noise before, it’s just that Mr. Yuan you all didn’t notice it."
Ran Qingchen gently rubbed the agate-like pendants between her fingers, her lips curving into a slight smile.
Her complexion had improved a lot since healing, and after changing into a new set of white clothes at the villa, she looked even more ethereal.
Ran Qingchen said lightly, "You’ve shown off a bit too much, you’re not usually like this, have you been stimulated by sothing?"
"I’m building fa and gaining reputation," Jiang Shouzhong frankly admitted.
Ran Qingchen gave him an idiotic look, "Who taught you to do this? You’re acting like a big fool."
n don’t like to hear that.
Could Yeying’s teaching be wrong?
Jiang Shouzhong retorted, "Am I not impressive enough? Not dazzling enough?"
Unable to help himself, Yuan Anjiang laughed and cursed, "Lord Ran is right, you’re really like a big fool, if I hadn’t personally taken you there, I wouldn’t have had the face to be seen with you. If you have the skill to fight, just fight; why the fuss for nothing?"
Jiang Shouzhong had a different opinion, "Mr. Yuan, you don’t understand the rules of Jianghu. I have to stir up enmity first; otherwise, how can I fight?"
Ran Qingchen pursed her lips, "Superfluous."
Laughing, Yuan Anjiang asked, "Tell , haven’t you already completely offended Murong Nan and the Yin Yang Sect?"
"Uh, right," Jiang Shouzhong nodded.
"Isn’t that enough?" Yuan Anjiang rolled his eyes and said, "No matter the process, in the end, you’re going to offend them. Why bother building enmity? Just fight; the result will be the sa."
"Uh, well..."
Jiang Shouzhong suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
It seed to make sense.
After pondering a bit, he earnestly asked, "Mr. Yuan, what do you think is the fastest way for to build a reputation in Jianghu?"
"Simple, just directly challenge those renowned figures in Jianghu. Or after returning to the capital, perhaps challenge Zhao Wuxiu?"
Yuan Anjiang smiled with ill intent.
Jiang Shouzhong waved his hands, embarrassed, "Forget about it, I’m well aware of my own strength. But your suggestion is indeed correct; it’s most efficient to go straight for those famous figures in Jianghu."
"Why the sudden desire to build a reputation?" Ran Qingchen looked at him curiously.
Jiang Shouzhong joked, "The bigger the reputation, the more famous daughters-in-law I can marry later."
Ran Qingchen just chuckled.
At that mont, Shan Dongchuan suddenly said, "Master Jiang serving as an official in the court is not a good thing."
Yuan Anjiang was taken aback, about to retort, but then fell into silence.
Ran Qingchen seed thoughtful.
——
In another carriage.
Zhang Lanlan endured the pain and inserted several silver needles mixed with dicine into her abdon.
Once her injuries sowhat recovered, Zhang Lanlan let out a breath of turbid air and turned to Murong Nan beside her, asking, "Murong, how do you plan to deal with that guy nad Jiang Mo?"
"What about you?"
Murong Nan countered.
Zhang Lanlan sneered, "Naturally, I will return to my sect and report this to my master. The Yin Yang Sect will take care of him! Murong, if you want revenge, act quickly, lest in the end there’s only a corpse left for you."
The woman still wanted to win over this young master of the Murong Family.
After all, it was still uncertain whether her master was willing to help.
Murong Nan sighed, "I’m just afraid that woman Ran Qingchen will protect him. People from my family rarely take the initative to stand up for . Even after I was... defeated by Li Nanshuang, they didn’t think about avenging ."
Zhang Lanlan was well aware of Murong Nan’s previous disgrace at the hands of Li Nanshuang. Although she looked down on him inwardly, she consoled him with a calm expression, "This ti the other party deliberately provoked the incident, and it concerns the honor of the Murong Family. Presumably, Murong’s elders will not stand by while others humiliate you.
Furthermore, in front of so many people today, Murong was beaten and even insulted as not a real man; this will definitely spread in Jianghu. You tell , won’t the Murong Family’s reputation be damaged then?"
Murong Nan thought back to the mont when his clothes were torn and slowly clenched his fist.
This feud, must be avenged!
However, just then, Murong Nan’s complexion suddenly turned pale.
His abdon began to wriggle, as if he had eaten sothing nauseating, his stomach churning, feeling like thousands of insects gnawing at him, unbearable, making him nearly vomit his guts out.
He forcefully covered his mouth and nose, frowning deeply, showing extre pain.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Zhang Lanlan looked at him with confusion.
However, in the next second, a shocking scene occurred.
Murong Nan’s body convulsed continuously, and from the corner of his mouth, black blood trickled out, his eyes bulging outward with force.
Then, an extrely pale hand with a tinge of blue slowly extended from his mouth...
Zhang Lanlan was dumbstruck.
At that mont, the woman felt a chill down her spine and her legs went weak.
By the ti she regained her composure, she found that another woman had appeared in the carriage, her complexion deathly pale, unlike that of any normal living person, a faint evil aura swirling around her, sitting quietly.
Upon closer inspection, a layer of skin was drooping beside her.
It was Murong Nan.
"Sorry if I scared you," the woman said apologetically with a smile.
Zhang Lanlan’s teeth chattered, unable to speak.
"There, there, don’t be afraid."
The woman extended a hand, half translucent, and gently embraced her.
While comforting her, she bit into Zhang Lanlan’s neck and began gently and slowly sucking the blood from her body.
——
Back at the Liushan Division, Jinxiu had already prepared dinner.
Jiang Shouzhong ate his evening al and chatted with the two ladies before returning to his room.
In the room, ngniang lay lazily on the bed resting.
Because he had seen Yeying earlier, Jiang Shouzhong had her go directly back to the room.
"You’re back," said ngniang as she turned her body, opening her enchanting, silken eyes as if she intended to stretch lazily, but didn’t really raise her arms.
The tightness of her dress further accentuated her slender waist bound tight, her voluptuous, firm legs casually crossed, her indolent softness seeming as warm as springti, seeping into the bones and stirring the heartstrings.
Jiang Shouzhong felt a surge of heat in his mind and sat down on the bedstead.
"I’m sorry, I truly had so difficulties to deal with today," Jiang Shouzhong said habitually as he reached his hand into the woman’s clothes with a hint of apology.
"It’s alright, whatever my master bids ngniang to do, ngniang will do," the woman replied, her small tongue flicking across her red lips.
This enchantress... Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t help but lean down and capture her lips with his own.
After being entwined for a while, they parted, both breathing lightly.
Rembering sothing, Jiang Shouzhong said, "Tomorrow I have to go to the Su Family, to enter an underground temple sanctuary. That place once imprisoned a great dragon and phoenix demon, so it is not suitable for you to go, so you should stay in the room."
"Tonight is our last night together, my little man," ngniang pulled Jiang Shouzhong onto the bed, lying atop him, hands crossed and resting on her chin, looking at him with a smile, "Have you forgotten what Li Guanshi said before? Today is the fifth day."
Jiang Shouzhong was taken aback, "I thought you had a plan?"
ngniang spoke softly, "I do have a plan, which is to solve this trouble through a retreat in seclusion."
"How long? Is it dangerous? Where will you seclude yourself?" Jiang Shouzhong asked in quick succession.
ngniang crawled further forward on top of him, soft as if boneless, caressing his cheek gently, her lips almost touching his face, calming him, "Don’t worry, it’ll last at most half a month, there won’t be any danger, and as for where I will be secluding myself, I won’t tell you."
"As long as there’s no danger, that’s a relief," Jiang Shouzhong exhaled.
ngniang gently licked his cheek, seductively saying, "So, tonight, do whatever you want with ngniang. However you want to play, Master, let’s play."
