Shangguan Tou swiftly stripped off her clothes with one hand and reached into her bodice with the other. Xue Zhi hesitated for a moment, but did not feel the same resistance as the first time.
It was as if there were more sparks within its body, urgently calling out, yearning, waiting for a flame to ignite them.
The heavy breathing became particularly noticeable in the small, deserted courtyard, impossible to ignore.
A gentle sway of the red window, and the cold light shimmers in the pool.
She gripped his arm tightly with both hands, and with a soft moan, she once again completely surrendered to his invasion.
The ripples in the pool grew calmer, and the moon's reflection became clearer.
Shangguan Tou braced himself against the ground on either side of her. To her, it seemed as if he were holding up the sky.
She clung to him tightly, her body swaying violently with his movements, constantly filled with overwhelming desire. Under his skillful and domineering guidance, years of pent-up passion ignited overnight.
This was also the first time she had looked at him for such a long time without avoiding him.
He was constantly infusing himself with pain and ecstasy.
The moon shines brightly for thousands of miles.
Jasmine petals unfold like light silk, and the fragrance of jasmine wafts on the wind.
It was as if even the tips of her hair trembled. All her mental and physical defenses crumbled under the repeated assaults.
Their near-madness and boundless intimacy turned them into two beasts who had lost their minds.
Only her hazy senses told her that jasmine petals were fluttering around her, and that her world was being embraced by Shangguan Tou.
After a quiet and warm night, in the same mountain villa, in a different courtyard.
After noon, maniacal laughter echoed through the courtyard:
"Hahahaha, who told me 'all women are the same, all arrogant before sex, but completely subdued by me after sex'? Hahahaha, Baldy, not only did a woman kick you out of your room, but it was the girl you've had a crush on for so long! So embarrassing, so incredibly embarrassing!!"
Shangguan Tou was dressed neatly, but looked unwell, and simply sat quietly in the courtyard drinking tea.
Zhong Tao laughed loudly as he bent down to look at Shangguan Tou's face: "Tsk tsk, those dark circles under your eyes! Weren't you still playing in the sect wars three years ago, even taking on four opponents at once? Weren't you so high and mighty, able to form human pyramids? Hahahaha..."
Shangguan Tou continued to drink his tea with his head down.

After laughing enough, Zhong Tao quickly sat down next to him, squinting his eyes, and asked, "What exactly happened last night?"
After pondering for a long time, Shangguan Tou finally delivered his concluding remarks: "It wasn't something that happened last night, it happened this morning."
After their passionate night together, Shangguan Tou carried Xuezhi back to his guest room. Xuezhi was still very petite and nestled against Shangguan Tou, calling him "Brother Tou" as she drifted off to sleep. Shangguan Tou had also planned to go to sleep, but the thought of Xuezhi in his arms sent a jolt through him, and he quickly woke up.
This night was short for Xuezhi.
For Shangguan Tou, however, it was as long as a lifetime.
When Xuezhi woke up the next morning, Shangguan Tou was struggling with a bowl in his hands. Seeing her sit up, he quickly brought over the porridge and said gently, "You must have been tired last night. I made you some porridge, drink it while it's hot."
The door was half-open, and the beaded curtain rustled in the gentle breeze.
He scooped up a spoonful of porridge, tested the temperature with his lips, then leaned down slightly and carefully, albeit somewhat clumsily, brought it to her lips. Xuezhi quickly recalled how skillfully he had untied her bodice the night before, and her face flushed again.
Shangguan Tou is skilled at flirting, knows how to make girls happy, knows how to be a good man, and is also very adept in bed. But what he is doing right now is clearly his least favorite thing.
Silently drinking the porridge, suppressing a frown, Xuezhi didn't dare ask him if it was his first time cooking. Seeing him awkwardly bending over to feed her the soup with a motherly concern, all his usual playful smile gone, and the soup so poorly made and his movements so clumsy, Xuezhi couldn't help but lower her head and cover her mouth to laugh. Shangguan Tou, thinking she was burning herself, quickly ladled out a bowl, took a sip himself, blew on it a few times, and then gave it to her.
The morning air was still a bit chilly. Shangguan Tou went to close the door and then came back to continue feeding her.
A man's gentleness is always unintentional. Xuezhi had never seen Shangguan Tou so careful before, and she spent the morning feeling deeply moved and happy.
But after Xuezhi got up, something unfortunate happened.
As soon as Xuezhi and Shangguan Tou stepped outside, they heard someone congratulating them. Upon closer inquiry, they learned that what Shangguan Tou had said the night before had spread throughout the entire manor and was expected to spread rapidly to the outside world.
Chong Xuezhi and Shangguan Tou's wedding, what a grand and joyous occasion!
What embarrassed Xuezhi the most was that Shangguan Tou was thanking others and saying that she should remember to attend their wedding. Just as Xuezhi was feeling confused, she encountered her protectors who were searching for her everywhere. Even more surprisingly, the protectors also came to congratulate them. Except for Mu Yuan, almost everyone was very satisfied with their future husband, the Palace Master.
Everything seemed so natural and self-evident.
But in Xuezhi's view, it was incomprehensible.
"Get out of here!!" she cried, pushing him toward the door and slamming it shut.
Next, Zhong Tao heard the news and quickly found Shangguan Tou. Seeing him sitting alone outside, drinking tea in silence, he guessed the gist of what had happened. After talking with Shangguan Tou for a while, Zhong Tao could no longer suppress his desire for revenge and unleashed his years of pent-up emotions:
"Shangguan Tou, you've finally met your match! Ha, ha, ha, ha..."
After Lin Fengzi's birthday banquet ended, many people had already begun their journey home. Xuezhi, feeling agitated, hadn't even started preparing when she received a secret letter from Chonghuo Palace.
The secret letter was written by Lin Yuhuang:
If there is an emergency, please go to Yingzhou, Xianshan, Suzhou immediately.
Xuezhi finally regained some composure and began packing her things quickly. Without informing Shangguan Tou, she led the disciples of Chonghuo Palace, along with Feng She, that burden, towards Suzhou.
One day later, at the Immortal Mountain of Yingzhou.
The streets were bustling with people, but the Immortal Mountain Yingzhou was temporarily closed. Several vendors stood at the entrance, among them a man with his head wrapped up and one eye blind, selling secret manuals and the legendary Frost Soul Staff.
"Young lady, buy a copy of 'The First-Class Divine Moon Staff Technique'."
"Huang'er, stop making a fuss. What happened?"
Lin Yuhuang raised an eyebrow, put the things away, beckoned to Xuezhi, and leaped onto the roof of the Immortal Mountain Yingzhou. Xuezhi followed him up.
The air is fresh. Above is a clear blue sky, and below are the ten-mile-long Rouge Tower of Suzhou.
"Zhi'er, there's something we've probably overlooked for a long time." Lin Yuhuang chuckled dryly, "Do you still remember the incident three years ago when the 'Nine Forms of the Lotus God' was stolen?"
Xuezhi's heart felt as if it had been crushed by a heavy weight, and she said with some difficulty:
"Ignoring the side effects, the Lotus God Nine Forms is a sacred martial arts manual, not something that ordinary people can cultivate."
“That’s true.” A strange light flickered in Lin Yuhuang’s clear eyes. “But… someone died in the palace.”
"How did he die?"
“I, along with several elders, have all examined the body, and there is not a single move on the deceased that resembles any of the moves from the Nine Forms of the Lotus God. Not a single one.”
"What is that?"
"The murderer used the Emei Nirvana Technique, but the direction of the moves was exactly the same as the Lotus God Nine Forms."
"Then this person must not be from the Emei Sect."
“Not necessarily.” Lin Yuhuang hesitated for a moment. “However, this person may very well have another manual of ‘Lotus Wings’.”
"The Lotus Heart Sutra?"
"Zhi girl, do you know what this means?"
Xuezhi remained silent.
For the first time, the two manuals of "Lotus Wings" have appeared simultaneously in the martial arts world. It's unclear whether the person who stole them is the same one. However, the fact that he has begun practicing the "Hibiscus Heart Sutra" is now a foregone conclusion.

The Hibiscus Heart Sutra once belonged to Chonghuo Palace. If someone suspected of possessing the Hibiscus Heart Sutra were to appear in the martial world, Chonghuo Palace would undoubtedly be the first to be targeted. Therefore, Xuezhi's expression was not good.
Lin Yuhuang said, "This manual was originally engraved on a jade cup. Back then, I asked Brother Hua to dispose of the jade cup, but judging from the current situation, it seems that, like the 'Nine Forms of the Lotus God,' its contents have been stolen."
"So, it's possible it's the same person?"
"yes."
"Could it be... Uncle Hua?"
"I don't know." Lin Yuhuang thought for a moment after speaking, "But based on my understanding of the Flower Remnant Sword, it's almost impossible."
"So what do we do now?"
"In any case, let's go back and discuss it before making a decision."
So the father and daughter returned to Yingzhou, the Immortal Mountain. But as soon as they arrived at the entrance, they saw it was packed with people—the Huashan Sect and the Xueyan Sect. Lin Yuhuang slipped to the front to take a look. Feng Cheng and Yuan Shuangshuang were surrounded inside, and judging from their expressions, they seemed to be discussing something extremely important. Just as she was about to listen carefully, the two stood up and led their disciples outside.
Xuezhi hid behind the door and went unnoticed. After the group had walked a little further away, Xuezhi said, "They're being so mysterious. I wonder what they're doing. I'll follow them and see."
"Wait, do you want them to find out?"
Xuezhi thought for a moment: "Then what should we do?"
Lin Yuhuang smiled crookedly, kicked a small stone on the ground, and kicked it out after it was airborne.
Little Stone disappeared into the bushes, accompanied by a muffled groan.
Soon, a figure fell straight down and landed on the ground.
Xuezhi cooperated perfectly with Lin Yuhuang, stepping on the back of the man's neck. The man immediately shook his head, urgently saying, "It's me, it's me!"
Xuezhi was taken aback: "Feng She?" Then she withdrew her leg.
Feng She braced himself on the ground, sprang up, stood up, dusted himself off, and turned to leave. But he hadn't taken two steps when Lin Yuhuang, who was striding over, grabbed him.
"We need to go and confront that group of people. Quickly hand over the Five Paths Reincarnation King Golden Elixir."
“Those are things used by the Virgin Mary, I don’t have them.”
"Give me what you have."
"Even if I have it, I won't hand it over. Just kill me."
"I won't kill you, but I have over a hundred ways to have the ugliest and smelliest man in the world sodomize you."
"I only have one."
"Still being stubborn even when you're about to die. You have three."
"Okay, I have three, but if you want all three, I'll swallow them right now and bite my tongue to commit suicide."
