Making You Realize Your Mistakes

Ning Zhongze had been feeling rather vexed lately. Brother Qun seemed to have something on his mind, treating her with a noticeable coolness.

She was, after all, the renowned Heroine of Mount Hua, possessing unparalleled beauty. Although her figure had changed slightly after giving birth to Ling Shan, she had maintained it through diligent training, making any changes insignificant.

Secretly, countless men had yearned for her, yet Brother Qun showed her no affection.

After so many years of marriage, Brother Qun had always maintained a respectful distance, stopping short of any true intimacy. In all their years together, they hadn't even shared a kiss.

The reputation of Brother Qun's Gentleman Sword had cost her dearly. Ever since Ling Shan was born, Brother Qun had not shared any intimate moments with her.

Even when she was nursing Ling Shan as a baby, Brother Qun would avoid the room. Sigh, thinking about it brought tears to her eyes.

Lost in thought, Ning Zhongze unconsciously...

Li Hao was stunned. He had snuck in late at night intending to steal a kiss, only to stumble upon this scene.

If Ning Zhongze continued like this, he likely wouldn't get his chance.

Anxious, Li Hao abandoned all pretense of being a graceful young master and walked directly towards her.

"Who?" Although she was in a precarious situation, she still maintained her vigilance.

However, the moment the words left her mouth, her body went numb. Her acupoints had been sealed.

He hadn't restrained her movements, but had temporarily suppressed her cultivation. What did he want?

Feeling her cultivation unable to circulate within her body, Ning Zhongze was shocked. "Who are you? Leave now, and I can pretend this never happened. Otherwise, the surroundings are filled with my Mount Hua disciples."

Ning Zhongze lowered her voice, hoping this incident would end quickly and the mysterious person behind her would leave.

Ning Zhongze was in turmoil. She didn't dare to turn around, fearing that behind her stood a scabby, slovenly old man.

"Madam, if you want your disciples to see you like this, then shout loudly! I don't mind." Li Hao was quite bold, as everyone in the back quarters had been drugged with Super Meng Han Powder. He wasn't worried about anyone disturbing him.

"Also, I should mention, I didn't close the door when I came in."

"..." Ning Zhongze gasped.

The door was not closed, meaning anyone could enter at any moment. If someone came in and witnessed what was happening, her reputation...

"If you behave, I can leave sooner. Otherwise, I can't guarantee your safety."

A threat, a naked threat.

But Ning Zhongze was helpless and could only endure.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Attribute-less Inner Force *10, Black Jade Bone-Setting Paste *999, Villain Points *1000]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Grandmaster Medical Skills, Martial Skill: Lesser Formless Art]

Not bad, the gains were substantial.

While indulging in leisure and entertainment, he could also receive numerous rewards.

"When can you leave?" Outside the window, there was silence. Inside, the heavens thundered.

"I can't say for sure." Li Hao felt a bit awkward.

As he studied and understood the divine book, Li Hao felt his body developing in a direction that was no longer human.

Also, why was this woman always facing away from him? Was his appearance not handsome enough?

Angrily, Li Hao, disregarding the danger of exposing his identity, turned her head.

"It's you!" Ning Zhongze exclaimed upon seeing Li Hao's face.

"You know me?" Li Hao frowned. Had Linghu Chong complained to their elders? If so, he would eliminate him when he left.

"I saw you at Senior Brother Liu's house today. You were holding a very beautiful girl," Ning Zhongze said quickly.

She had no choice; her acupoints were sealed, and she dared not offend Li Hao.

"That's my concubine. You'll be sisters from now on," Li Hao said meaningfully.

"Impossible. If you leave now, I can still pretend this never happened." Ning Zhongze began to issue threats.

At this point, calling her a keyboard warrior wouldn't be an exaggeration.

If Li Hao hadn't been holding her, she would have already collapsed to the ground.

"If I leave now, what will you do?" Li Hao asked curiously. The question didn't stop him from studying the cultivation techniques in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon.

"..." Ning Zhongze was speechless. If Li Hao left, what would she do?

Perhaps she should just make do with it. She shouldn't aim too high.

The two sides continuously commanded their subordinate soldiers to engage in fierce combat. The flags on the city walls changed, and the battle raged fiercely, obscuring the sun and moon. Countless casualties littered the battlefield.

The rooster crowed, signaling the dawn. Li Hao got up, intending to leave.

"Who exactly are you?" Ning Zhongze asked unwillingly.

In reality, her acupoints had been unsealed long ago, before Li Hao had held her and fallen asleep. She could have easily slapped him to death, but in the end, she restrained herself and did not act.

"My name is Li Hao, Hermit Ri Tian, also known as The Amorous Swordsman," Li Hao replied.

With decades of Internal Energy in his body and the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon by his side, Li Bai felt like he was floating as he walked. Of course, this wasn't the effect of Treading Snow Without a Trace.

Indeed, you don't need to fear a scummy girl playing games, but you should fear a thirty-year-old married woman. She knows everything you don't, she can do everything you can't, she's mature, stable, and charming, making people infatuated and captivated.

The originally arrogant and overbearing Li Hao tasted what it meant to be crushed by a superior force.

Alas, it's all my fault for being too young, thinking I could break all laws with sheer power, but the result...

It seems I need to review the knowledge from the divine book rewarded by the system after I get back, and strive to obtain a higher degree.

Otherwise, you'll regret not studying when the time comes; the poor youth has already turned white.

"The Amorous Swordsman, truly lives up to its name," Ning Zhongze mocked.

"Damn it, don't get cocky. One day, I'll make you realize your mistakes and take responsibility for what you've done wrong," Li Hao shouted, pointing at Ning Zhongze's nose.

"Then you can tell me where I'm wrong now," Ning Zhongze half-sat up, letting the quilt fall to the floor.

"Screw you," Li Hao turned his head away, trying hard not to look.

This woman is full of tricks.

"Remember to close the door when you leave," Ning Zhongze said, lying with her eyes closed.

In the past, Ning Zhongze would wake up early every morning to practice the Nineteen Swords of the Jade Maiden, regardless of the weather. She didn't even want to think about it this morning; it was too tiring.

"Got it. Remember to call me 'older sister' when you see Yi Lin from now on," Li Hao kissed Ning Zhongze on the forehead, then opened the door and left grandly.

"For me to call you 'older sister,' that depends on my mood," Ning Zhongze mumbled, then got up to get dressed.
