Chapter 14: If there's a good day, you have to live it

Ning Xuan pocketed the "Ghost Shadow Horse Monkey Blood" and the "Mysterious Buddha Statue" as his spoils from this trip.

However, his true gains were a complete understanding of "Heavenly Demon Scroll Refinement" and "Demonic Beasts."

Whether it was the "Heavenly Demon's Arrival" and "Heavenly Demon Has Arrived" mentioned in the [Heavenly Demon Scroll], the "dirt people" from the Ghost Shadow Horse Monkey's mouth, or the Bear Demon's words, "This place is also Black Wind Mountain," all these allowed Ning Xuan to naturally deduce a terrifying fact.

That is, perhaps everything has only just begun.

Many demonic beasts have already appeared.

But this is not the end, it is the beginning.

The environment he had lived in for sixteen years would become increasingly unfamiliar.

A strong sense of fatigue and tension washed over him. The wound on his lower back was burning painfully again. He couldn't wait to lie in the arms of his maids, one on his left, one on his right, and take a nap amidst their sweet calls of "Young Master, Young Master."

However, he still glanced in the direction of the fighting.

The yellow-robed Daoist priest, his feet treading on pure golden light, floated in the air, his eyes closed, his expression serious as he formed hand seals. Five invisible golden snakes emerged from the ground, each tightly coiling around the limbs and neck of the black bear demon from before.

However, they only coiled.

They had no killing power.

The black bear had a strong physique, yet it was still tightly bound, unable to move, and could only shout, "Save me, save me!!"

Han Ba and the others, holding repeating crossbows, shot at the bear demon from a distance with grim expressions.

Drops of sweat streamed down their foreheads.

The black bear demon struggled more and more fiercely.

The yellow-robed Daoist priest's body trembled, but he didn't open his eyes. He chanted words, and a sense of effortless tranquility, detached from the world, emanated from him.

The two Daoist boys beside him tensed their bodies, holding long swords, guarding the perimeter, clearly on high alert for other demonic beasts.

The chains clanged incessantly, but as the bear demon sustained more and more injuries, it slowly stopped struggling and collapsed in a pool of blood.

'Is this supernatural power?'

Ning Xuan realized for the first time that his world possessed such power.

And it seemed his father most likely possessed this power too.

He grew more curious, wondering why his father didn't teach him.

He was his father's biological son, after all.

Though he thought there was nothing else to linger for here.

He turned and flew away.

He was impatient.

He skillfully cleaned himself up in a mountain spring, changed his clothes, and arrived at Star River County, boarding the carriage that was waiting at the county entrance.

Xiao Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him return safely.

"Young Master, I was so worried."

Xiao Jie patted her chest.

Ning Xuan said, "Let's return to the manor."

That evening.

Under the peach tree in the backyard of the Ning Manor, in a bathtub, Ning Xuan, wearing only a white undergarment, bathed in the lukewarm water.

He stretched his arms, with a maid on each side gently massaging his tense muscles to relieve the day's fatigue.

He tilted his head back, but it didn't press against the hard edge of the bathtub, causing pain. Instead, his head rested entirely on a pair of fair, long legs.

Through the silk clothing, he smelled the fragrance emanating from the owner of those long legs. He could tell it was the new "Peach Blossom Dew" from "Butterfly Mark," but it wasn't the "Rose Dew" that evoked memories of that half-rotted corpse.

A peach blossom gently fell from the peach tree, landing on the surface of the steaming hot water, creating ripples.

It then landed on the temples of the owner of the long legs, who sat on a high-backed chair.

Ning Xuan raised his hand and plucked the peach blossom for her.

Just then, a stout maid brought over hot water and respectfully said, "Young Master, adding water."

"Add it."

With permission granted, the maid slowly poured the hot water into the wooden tub.

However, the tub was already full, and the water overflowed, wetting the skirts of the surrounding maids.

The silk skirt around the owner of the long legs' waist and hips also got wet, revealing glimpses of what lay beneath.

She suddenly wriggled her body and giggled.

Her laughter was soft and pleasant.

Ning Xuan felt like he was caught in a tempest, experiencing an indescribable feeling. He chuckled, "You always have some new trick to play on me."

The owner of the chest was Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie giggled and said softly, "I told you during the day."

Ning Xuan said, "I remember."

Xiao Jie leaned in and bit his ear, saying, "Tomorrow, I'll make sure Young Master can't get out of bed."

While waiting anxiously in the carriage today, she had already made up her mind. She absolutely could not let Young Master go out adventuring again. She had to go all out, to stake everything.

The maids beside them, who were massaging Ning Xuan's hands, were sulking.

In their eyes, that seductive fox was acting so shamelessly, trying to seduce the young master. It was truly ruining the Ning family's reputation and made them sick.

But no matter how much they detested Xiao Jie, they had to admit that this seductive fox, Xiao Jie, was indeed very seductive. She was so seductive that she could easily succeed in seducing any man. Her every smile and glance could make a man's heart pound and remember her for a lifetime.

Night deepened.

Ning Xuan finally found relaxation in Xiao Jie.

This relaxation allowed him to return from his previous nightmares and the killing.

He was still himself, a vulgar young master, and by no means the ruthless, cunning monster who only thought about how to kill his enemies.

He comfortably embraced the petite Xiao Jie and fell asleep.

As dawn approached, Ning Xuan suddenly felt something unusual. He opened his eyes and saw that Xiao Jie had gotten up at some point.

Not only had Xiao Jie gotten up, but she was also rapidly tying his limbs with silk ribbons.

The other end of the silk ribbon was tied to the bedpost with a tight knot, very secure, something the effeminate Ning Xuan could not possibly break free from.

Ning Xuan opening his eyes made Xiao Jie flustered.

Her eyes darted around, and she crawled over again, saying softly, "Young Master, let's play something more fun. I'll definitely make you happy."

Ning Xuan said, "I'm not going out today."

Xiao Jie's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Ning Xuan replied, "Really."

The matter was resolved. He was injured, and the Yellow Robe Daoist and Han Ba were dealing with things in the wilderness. He naturally wouldn't be going out anytime soon.

Xiao Jie glanced at the silk ribbons binding his hands and feet, then suddenly raised her hands and quickly untied them. Like a deflated ball, she "thumped" and threw herself back into Ning Xuan's embrace.

She had tied Ning Xuan because she was worried he would go out again.

And after tying him up, she was determined to do her best to quell Young Master's anger.

But since Young Master wasn't going out, then so be it.

Ning Xuan said, "Didn't you say we were going to play something more fun?"

Xiao Jie said, "I'm so tired."

After saying that, she really fell asleep, like a weak and harmless little bird that anyone could easily strangle, sleeping in Ning Xuan's arms.

Any man holding such a woman would feel a sense of accomplishment.

Moreover, such a woman understood boundaries and was full of tricks. If there were truly fox spirits in the world, they would have to be inferior by a notch.

Ning Xuan slept until the hour of the snake (9-11 AM).

Xiao Jie, however, had a sore leg and a sore waist.

She was astonished as she repeatedly pinched Young Master's thigh, feeling its firm strength, and gave a wry smile.

Ning Xuan reminded her, "I've already paid extra. Fifteen taels more each month, that's not a small amount."

Xiao Jie said, "I'm just curious if Young Master had some fortuitous encounter?"

But after saying that, she quickly covered her mouth and spat a few times, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. I'm not curious."

The reason she misspoke was because Young Master was too powerful last night.

He was as powerful as a giant bear.

This had made her utterly exhausted.

She had slept until now, but the more she slept, the more her body ached.

Ning Xuan, on the other hand, stretched his body with a refreshed spirit.

Xiao Jie took a deep breath, enduring the pain in her body, gritting her teeth, and gasping for cold air, she got up to dress him and comb his hair.

After going out and having breakfast, he waved his wide sleeves and ran out, shouting as he ran, "Where's my Golden Winged Thunder Duke? Where is the Golden Winged Thunder Duke?! Golden Winged Thunder Duke!!"

In a short while, a guard cautiously came carrying a large iron cage.

Inside the iron cage was a proud and spirited rooster. The edges of its wings shimmered with golden light, its tail feathers were short and hard like iron, and its comb stood tall like a flame.

"Young Master, here, here," the guard said with a fawning smile.

Ning Xuan waved his hand and said, "Charge! Today, I will definitely take my Golden Winged Thunder Duke and slaughter them without leaving a single one behind!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

A group of sycophants quickly echoed his cheers and then angrily followed the young master out.

Speaking of which, it had been almost a month since the young master had last fought chickens.
