"You rascal, you only see the new bride laughing, but you don't hear the old bride crying."
Li Chang'an grabbed those soft, smooth hands and pulled the resentful woman into his arms.
"These hands are the seductive hands passed down to Rongrong, doesn't that mean 'scratching'?"
Chapter 264 The Holy Son's Supreme Forgetfulness, the Demon Clan Devouring the Silver Luo
Name: Xiao Yuenu (Xue Ji)
[Emotion: 100]
"My love, although I have given myself to you, I am not a woman of many kinds."
Li Chang'an had told Li Lingsu that the women of Wanhualou were wonderful, and that was no exaggeration. The most wonderful of all the women in Wanhualou was the charming and alluring Xiao Yuenu.
Xiao Yuenu is the most beautiful woman in Jianzhou. If Li Miaozhen is the white moonlight in the hearts of the Jianghu people of Jianzhou, then Xiao Yuenu is the cinnabar mole in their hearts.
This kind of woman, who is high above others and lives in a brothel where women congregate, actually longs for a reliable man.
Li Chang'an was highly skilled and possessed an extraordinary appearance and demeanor. After several encounters, he managed to win over this woman who was only half-willing to be with him.
Because the process went so smoothly, Xiao Yuenu would always tell Li Chang'an, "I am not a casual woman." She emphasized this because of her overly unrestrained and passionate style.
“I know that Yue Nu is not a casual person.”
Li Chang'an knew that this was due to her nature, because Xiao Yuenü was not an ordinary human being.
She is a fragment of the nine-tailed celestial fox princess of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, named Xue Ji. The nine-tailed celestial fox has nine fragments of her soul; if even one of them breaks through to the extraordinary realm, her original body also has a chance to transcend.
This was Princess Wanyao's self-preservation strategy after the Jiazi Demon Extermination. Fu Xiang, the free-riding courtesan in the capital, was also one of the nine-tailed celestial fox's fragmented souls.
Therefore, when Xiao Yuenu falls in love, she becomes more charming and more uninhibited.
After their tender lovemaking, Xiao Yuenu's beautiful cheeks were flushed, and she lay happily in Li Chang'an's arms.
“Li Lang is truly an extraordinary man. He has Li Miaozhen by his side during the day and Xiao Yuenu by his side at night. You are the number one enemy of the men of Jianzhou.”
When Li Miaozhen was mentioned, Xiao Yuenu's tone became sour. She turned slightly and pressed her ample breasts against Li Chang'an's chest, clearly showing off her strength.
"Hmph, if we're talking about wonderful, Yue Nu is truly wonderful. Li Lang helped me deal with Liu Hongmian, and I will definitely repay you properly. I will come every night for the next five days."
"Come on then, I'm a warrior with skin of copper and bones of iron, not a frail Taoist priest..."
Five days later.
Li Lingsu's health has improved a lot, and she can finally get out of bed and move around. The protectors of Wanhua Tower have also come over to ask her questions a few times. Although they hate him to the core, they dare not do anything to this Holy Son of Tianzong.
Li Chang'an sat opposite Li Lingsu, leisurely sipping the fine tea that Xiao Yuenu had brought him.
Since Li Chang'an moved here, all supplies have been of the highest standard, and the food, lodging, and companionship have all been top-notch in Jianzhou.
"Brother Lingsu, so it seems that the rumors about you and Liu Hongmian are all unfounded."
He was asking a question he already knew the answer to; it was he and Xiao Yuenu who spread this rumor.
Upon hearing this, Li Lingsu's expression turned even more regretful.
"Liu Hongmian was somewhat interested in me, but recently there's been a competition for the sect leader position, so this woman is completely unresponsive."
Li Chang'an continued, "What do you plan to do in the future? If you encounter someone even more ruthless than the women of Wan Hua Lou, I might not be able to save you."
Li Lingsu's face had regained its vitality, revealing a helpless expression.
“Brother Chang’an, I am not a lustful person. I am doing this in order to comprehend the supreme Dao of detachment from emotions.”
"The so-called 'supreme detachment' means being utterly unmoved by emotions, as if one has forgotten them. My understanding is that it means not being moved by emotions, not being disturbed by feelings, and reaching a state of transcendence and detachment..."
Li Miaozhen spends her days punishing evil and promoting good for the sake of the Great Dao, while Li Lingsu spends her days seducing women for the same reason. The holy sons and daughters of the Heavenly Sect have all strayed from the Great Dao.
"Can I interpret this as being passive, not refusing, and not taking responsibility?"
Hearing Li Chang'an's words, Ling Lingsu was suddenly stunned. "It should be: no rejection, no responsibility, no attachment!"
When you meet a woman you like, you should take the initiative. But afterwards, you can't keep thinking about her; let bygones be bygones.
"As a holy son, I bear the great responsibility of inheriting the lineage of my sect. How can I be entangled by romantic feelings? When we are in love, we should naturally be affectionate and righteous, but afterwards we should forget each other in the world."
Li Chang'an grinned. Good grief, you're even worse than a scumbag.
This man casts a wide net to catch fish, unlike himself who strives for perfection, only picking the most precious pearls from the oyster shells. Just like the four women Li Lingsu seduced, combined, they are not worth a single hair on Xiao Yuenu's head.
One should always have high standards for oneself; better to have nothing than something mediocre.
As Li Lingsu spoke, she suddenly felt a pang of emotion, "Looking at it this way, although I have studied under the same master as my junior sister for many years, I am actually closer to Brother Chang'an."
Li Chang'an thought to himself, "It's alright. I'll be closer to your junior sister than to you in the future."
“Brother Chang’an, we hit it off immediately. This profound understanding of the Great Dao can only be discussed with a confidant like you.”
Li Chang'an waved his hand and said, "Alright, stop trying to comprehend it. If you keep going like this, you'll destroy the Great Dao."
"From now on, Miaozhen won't be by your side, and I'll be leaving Jianzhou immediately. Be careful."
Li Lingsu said confidently, "Brother Chang'an, don't worry. You learn from your mistakes. This time it was just an accident."
"I wonder where Brother Li is going. I will visit you when I have the chance."
Li Chang'an replied, "The capital, do you want to go?"
Upon hearing that Li Chang'an was going to the capital, Li Lingsu immediately lost interest. The capital was smaller than Jianzhou, but it was much more densely populated with experts, making it inconvenient to do many things.
"Let's wait a few years. Once I break through to the fourth rank, I'll dare to venture into the capital."
Li Chang'an knew that Li Lingsu's adventures would most likely lead her to women's beds.
"Then we'll meet again in the capital."
As Li Chang'an stepped across the threshold, Li Lingsu bowed behind him and said loudly, "Thank you so much, Brother Chang'an, for saving my life. If you ever need my help in the future, I will do anything for you!"
Li Chang'an said with a smile, "I hope I won't have to save you again next time, Holy Son."
In the original novel, Li Lingsu was later captured by two fourth-rank martial artists, the twin sisters from the East Sea Dragon Palace, and for the same reason, she was imprisoned and used as a slave.
At first glance, it does sound quite tragic.
A day later, at nightfall, a hundred miles away.
A courtyard sits in the valley, next to which is a huge lake. The surface of the lake is calm and still, but its depth is unfathomable.
Li Miaozhen sat on a boulder halfway up the mountain, feeding the golden eagle that perched on her knees. Her pretty face was beaming with smiles, and the two got along very harmoniously.
Before long, Li Chang'an stepped onto the boulder using a jade leaf-shaped magical artifact.
"Miaozhen, what's so strange about this red dragon?"
Li Miaozhen turned to look at the courtyard in the valley. "The place that the slave trader I killed last time gave me is where the Red Dragon Society often buys children. I don't know what they're used for."
"The Crimson Dragon Society is not one of the nine major sects of Sword State. It usually keeps a low profile, only taking on disciples to practice martial arts, and has not done anything else excessive."
Li Chang'an said calmly, "Is Miaozhen saying this because she's afraid I'll wipe out the entire Crimson Dragon Society?"
When the Golden Eagle Hero makes a move, he slaughters entire sects, destroys mountains and temples; he is rumored to be even more ruthless than the Flying Swallow Heroine.
Li Miaozhen said, "Brother Li didn't destroy the White Crane Temple either. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. The Red Dragon Society shouldn't be entirely evil either."
"Baihe Temple is one of the nine major sects, so I should give Brother Cao some face. As for the Crimson Dragon Society, Miaozhen's influence is no less than Brother Cao's."
In his previous two lives, Li Chang'an possessed the power to kill ten thousand people with a mere wave of his hand, so killing people posed no psychological burden to him.
Because killing or not killing was optional, and killing too many people was too much of a hassle, Li Chang'an never engaged in indiscriminate killing in this lifetime.
The sects we destroyed before were all full of villains; there wasn't a single good one among them.
Only Xu Gu secretly committed evil deeds at Baihe Temple; the other disciples were completely unaware of it.
"Brother Li, please wait for me a moment."
After Li Miaozhen finished speaking, she leaped up and her tall figure disappeared into the night.
Less than fifteen minutes later, Li Miaozhen carried a thin man back to the boulder on the mountainside.
"Brother Li, this is the person the slave trader was talking about. All the children were bought into the Red Dragon Society through him."
The man had a mustache, and although he looked frightened, his eyes darted around, indicating that he was a shrewd person.
"Please spare me, Flying Swallow Heroine! Li San's work as a slave trader has nothing to do with me!"
Li Miaozhen drew her sword and thrust it into the man's throat, saying sharply, "I know you don't sell people, but you are the buyer."
“I’ve checked these past two days. There are no child disciples in the Crimson Dragon Society, and I haven’t seen any children around. Where did the dozen or so children we bought go? Explain yourself.”
The lean man's eyes darted around, glancing at the stern-faced Li Miaozhen and then at the expressionless Li Chang'an, his eyes darting about.
"Chirp!"
After a sharp cry, the golden eagle swooped down from the sky, its sharp golden beak slicing directly into the man's right arm.
Wherever its sharp beak went, arm bones snapped and flesh flew everywhere; the golden eagle simply snatched away half an arm.
"Ow!"
After a heart-wrenching scream, the lean man rolled in agony on the boulder, blood pooling on the ground.
“My golden eagle can tell good from evil. You’d better confess yourself, or I have plenty of ways to make you talk.”
The wiry man, writhing in pain, immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Great Hero Golden Eagle, I will tell you everything I know."
