Painfully Beating Kong Li, Winning a Gold Guard Post, Madam's Silkworm Tower, Mere Madam

Kong Li was restrained, unable to control his own body, and his tongue felt numb and sore. He thought the thief's martial arts were strange and had captured him in such a way. He knew that Li Hengfeng was attached to him, pressing his abdomen against his back, and then wrapped in Black Robe, making it extremely difficult for others to know.

Surrounded and captured, Li Hengfeng borrowed Kong Li's identity to maneuver and evade capture. Kong Li tried desperately to break free, but none of his martial arts could untangle the situation. Li Hengfeng's limbs were like whips and ropes, flexible yet powerful, entangled and difficult to break free from. He used Kong Li's body and arms as if they were one person. He was riding his horse, feeling unexpectedly delighted, his chances of escape greatly increased. But suddenly, Li Xian blocked his path and ordered him to dismount.

Kong Li's eyes widened. Although he was under great restraint, he was still furious at Li Xian's disrespectful words and his order to dismount. Li Hengfeng frowned. He saw that Li Xian was dressed in red armor, the uniform of a yamen runner, yet he spoke with great disrespect and dared to stop him from his horse.

He was filled with doubt, thinking, "Whose constable is this, acting so Heavenly Gang? Doesn't he fear my position as county magistrate?" His eyes darted around, his mind racing. Having finally managed to subdue Kong Li, he didn't want to reveal himself easily, so he imitated Kong Li's voice, saying, "You constable, how dare you make this county magistrate dismount? Are you tired of living?"

Li Xian, hoping to gain fortuitous opportunity for advancement by capturing the "thief," meticulously planned key locations to ensure his intelligence network remained intact. He had already witnessed the perilous fight just moments before. Knowing that Kong Li had been subdued by Li Hengfeng, he laughed, "Hmph, whether he's tired of living or not is still unknown. But you've gone too far; I won't tolerate it any longer!" Kong Li was furious. Li Hengfeng, however, asked, "What do you want?"

Li Xian said, "I told you to kneel down!"

Li Hengfeng raised an eyebrow, thinking, "So there's a grudge, huh? That makes things easier. I'll do my best to make amends. After all, Li Hengfeng Non-Self the one who was humiliated." He dismounted, cupped his hands towards Li Xian, and said, "It's alright, it's alright! It was my fault, it was my fault."

He immediately bent his knees as if to kneel.

Kong Li's eyes widened, growing increasingly clenched. His knees buckled in desperation, his anger reaching its peak, yet he collapsed to his knees with a thud. Li Hengfeng said, "Aren't you satisfied now?"

Li Xian said, "You must kowtow twenty times, then slap yourself twenty times, shouting 'I, Kong Li, am a beast!' ten times. Then all past grudges will be forgiven."

Li Hengfeng said, "Alright! It's a deal!" He was overjoyed. He immediately kowtowed, slapped himself, and shouted as instructed. To avoid trouble, each slap was extremely sincere. His forehead bled from the kowtow, his cheeks were red and swollen from the slaps, and his shouts were very loud.

Kong Li's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he stared at Li Xian like a wolf or tiger, trembling with rage, but Li Hengfeng firmly suppressed him. If he were free, no matter the circumstances, he would kill him on the spot!

Li Hengfeng did as he was told, and asked, "Now that the hatred has subsided, I was wrong in the past. I will hold a banquet to apologize in the future." He then mounted his horse, bowed to Li Xian, spurred his horse, and rode away.

Li Xian suddenly drew his sword, slashing a mark on the ground, still blocking the way. Li Hengfeng frowned and said, "Why don't you move aside!" Li Xian's playful mood had worn off, and his aura hardened.

The fine horse, its four legs limp and its hooves sprawled on the ground, excrement and urine flowing freely. Li Xian had already slashed horizontally with his sword. Li Hengfeng had originally thought the matter was settled; a dignified county magistrate, kneeling and kowtowing, slapping himself in the face to admit his mistake—ordinary constables would surely feel honored and would not pursue the matter further. But to his surprise, Li Xian not only did not back down, but instead acted decisively.

In that instant, Li Hengfeng leaped off his horse to dodge the blade, controlled Kong Li's body, and unleashed a palm strike from above. Li Xian moved swiftly, slightly shifting his body to avoid it, and slapped Kong Li's left cheek.

Li Hengfeng was controlling Kong Li's body. Seeing that Li Xian's move was aimed directly at Kong Li's face, he guessed that this person did not know that he was hiding behind Kong Li, and felt a little relieved. He also thought that Kong Li's face was not his face, so why did he need to protect him?

He didn't defend himself with his own attacks, letting Li Xian's blows come at him, only using a strategy of exchanging blows to quickly finish Li Xian. Li Xian's palm strike landed heavily, using the "Jade Luo Palm" technique.

With a sharp "smack," Kong Li's cheek swelled up instantly, leaving a red palm print. His skin was broken and bleeding profusely, a truly frightening sight. At the same time, Li Xian used the Seven-Star Step to shift his position and dodge Li Hengfeng's palm technique, which involved exchanging injury for injury.

Li Hengfeng was taken aback, thinking to himself, "This kid is really powerful. His palm strike just now was already quite powerful. He is definitely not an ordinary constable!" He became wary. Li Xian, not letting up after gaining the upper hand, immediately changed his palm stance to a fist stance, and several heavy punches came crashing down.

Although his boxing technique was basic, when he executed it, it still possessed the overwhelming force of Mount Tai. Li Hengfeng secretly groaned, feeling that controlling Kong Li's body made his movements clumsy and difficult to defend himself. But if he abandoned it, he would be surrounded and attacked by the two, making his situation even more dangerous.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and deliberately expose an opening, blocking three moves while revealing one. He used Kong Li's body to withstand the damage. Li Xian's heavy punch landed, but although Kong Li was a burly man, he had been strengthening his body with medicinal baths since childhood and had also practiced considerable self-defense martial arts.

But a powerful punch, in an instant, will surely shatter bones and break tendons. Li Hengfeng was also secretly alarmed. "Such a powerful punch is truly terrifying. I absolutely don't want to take even half a palm strike. This Jade City is indeed full of hidden talents; who would have thought that this lowly servant could be more powerful than the county magistrate?"

Every time Li Xian's fierce punch came, he felt his heart pound with fear, and several times he almost tried to escape, but he suppressed his fear and waited for an opportunity. Little did he know that his thoughts were very much in sync with Li Xian's, and that Li Xian was intentionally guiding him.

Although Li Xian was broad-minded, he was determined to avenge his enemies. He also had another plan: to achieve his goal, he first had to severely injure Kong Li. Therefore, his punches and kicks were always aimed at Kong Li, while he completely ignored Li Hengfeng.

After fighting for a while, Kong Li coughed up blood, his bones were broken and his tendons were sprained, and his injuries were extremely severe. Li Hengfeng cursed, "You beast! A fine man, yet you couldn't last long!" Seizing the opportunity, he suddenly broke free and escaped using his light body.

Having just exchanged blows, Li Hengfeng had no intention of getting entangled with Li Xian. As soon as he broke free, he used his full lightness skill, "Heaven-Peering Step," to leap into the air at incredible speed. Li Xian had anticipated this, kicking Kong Li, turning around, drawing his bow, aiming at Li Hengfeng, and instantly drawing the bowstring taut, releasing an arrow!

How could Li Hengfeng withstand such sharp Archery? He felt a sharp pain in his ankle as a copper-tipped arrow pierced through his ankle. The silver thread attached to the arrow's fletching was taut. Li Hengfeng cried out in pain, "Oh no! My lifelong reputation, is it really going to be ruined by this constable?"

He drew his precious dagger from his waist and slashed fiercely at the silver thread. This slash contained the evolution of martial arts, making it extremely easy to slice through stone and sever a stream. But the moment he struck the silver thread, he felt a tingling and numbness in his tiger's mouth.

The silver thread actually cut the precious dagger in two!

Li Xian Intent Infusion the silver threads, making them tougher and sharper than a dagger. Li Hengfeng couldn't cut through the silver threads, and his heart sank. At this moment, two golden lights shot out. With two "whoosh" sounds, they struck his chest. The golden light itself had no substance, but it contained considerable killing power.

Li Hengfeng screamed and fell from the height onto the street. Li Xian slowly approached and, seeing that Li Hengfeng was motionless, knew something was amiss. He guessed, "This person must have deliberately led me to investigate, then suddenly used that strange attack to possess me and win."

"That martial art is indeed unique, and it has broadened my horizons. If I could, I would really like to try and deal with it myself. But for now, caution is paramount!" He immediately drew his bow and fired an arrow, piercing Li Hengfeng's left leg and pinning it deeply to the ground. Li Xian raised an eyebrow and slowly drew his bow again. Li Hengfeng screamed in agony and quickly stopped, saying, "Young hero! Stop, stop, stop! Don't shoot anymore, don't shoot anymore! I... I admit defeat!" Li Xian said, "I thought you would continue to endure until I had pinned all four of your limbs to the ground before you would admit defeat."

Li Hengfeng lay on his side, cupped his hands towards Li Xian, and said, "You're amazing, I admire you. I fought against the Gold-Seeking Guard for several days, and finally fell into your hands. I'm completely convinced."

Li Xian said, "You're not bad either; you almost got away." Li Hengfeng sighed, "It's a pity I met you. Come on, I admit I'm tied up!" Li Xian shrugged. Although Li Hengfeng was a thief, his actions and demeanor had a certain chivalrous spirit. When Kong Li attacked with a swift strike, Li Hengfeng threw aside the constables and saved his life. He was surrounded and attacked several times, but he never took anyone's life.

Therefore, although they captured him, they did not humiliate or scold him. They took the rope and went over, twisted Li Hengfeng's hands behind his back, pulled his wrists backward, and tied him up so that he could not move.

Li Hengfeng struggled briefly, but seeing that Li Xian's binding technique was also quite formidable—the ropes gripping his tendons and locking his inner body—escape was now impossible. He sighed, "Brother, are you Gold-Seeking Guard?"

Li Xian asked, "What makes you say that?"

Li Hengfeng said, "Your strength, methods, and experience in catching thieves far surpass that incompetent county magistrate. Yet you're dressed as a constable. If I'm not mistaken, it must be a backup plan by the Gold-Seeking Guard, sending you to infiltrate among the constables, ready to catch me off guard at any moment. I, Li Hengfeng, have a lifetime of illustrious reputation, thinking I've outmaneuvered the Gold-Seeking Guard Gold-Seeking Guard, but in the end, I've still fallen into their hands."

Li Xian laughed, "What you say makes perfect sense. But you're wrong. Not only am I not Gold-Seeking Guard), but even this constable's uniform is temporary." Li Hengfeng sneered, his tone laced with anger, "I thought you were a hero, but it turns out you're just another bully relying on your power." Li Xian asked curiously, "Catching thieves is a matter of course, how can you say it's bullying? When I arrested you, I used real weapons and real skills to capture you." Li Hengfeng said, "On that point, I have nothing to say, I naturally admire you. But after you arrested me, you still made sarcastic remarks, deliberately saying the opposite of what you mean. Isn't that bullying?"

Li Xian asked, "Are you being sarcastic?" Li Hengfeng replied, "I have clearly seen through your true identity, yet you not only refuse to admit it, but also claim that even this official uniform was only temporarily obtained. No one will believe such nonsense. You have already won a great victory by capturing me, yet you refuse to tell me even the simple truth. What else could it be but your power?"

Li Xian thought to himself, "This man is extremely Intent-Qi. He thinks I look down on him." He laughed and said, "I'm just telling the truth. I'm a doctor, helping to treat yamen runners, and Kong Li temporarily conscripted me into the army. I captured you precisely to join the Gold-Seeking Guard. I've already said it, if you don't believe me, that's fine too." Li Hengfeng said, "Then how did you acquire this experience in capturing thieves? I, Li Hengfeng, am no pushover. Ordinary bindings can be easily loosened with a flick of my wrist and a deft touch of my fingers. Your technique makes it impossible for me to escape. How could a doctor like you... possibly know such a method? Therefore, it must be from the Gold-Seeking Guard." Li Xian was taken aback, never expecting that this was the cause of the misunderstanding. He thought, "I'm afraid this person will escape, so I won't be gentle. Madam will suffer from this for a long time. It would be strange if you could escape. If you ask me where I got this unique method, I learned it from Madam." He said, "This matter is difficult to explain. You only need to know that although I arrested you, it was only for personal gain, not because I look down on you. I, Li Xian, am not of high status, and I would never stoop to such a lowly act."

Li Hengfeng said, "It seems I misunderstood. May I ask your surname, sir?" Li Xian replied, "My surname is Li, and my given name is Xian!"

Li Hengfeng said, "If we were elsewhere, I would surely drink three cups with Brother Li. But since I am heavily bound now, I will let it go. Brother Li has a remarkable spirit, and if my lowly body can help you advance, being captured by you would not be a bad thing."

Li Xian was moved. "Brother Li, you have quite the spirit. I just wonder what will happen if you are captured?" Li Hengfeng said, "Hahaha, who cares? I, the Spring Breeze Thief, started stealing and always expected this day to come."

Li Xian asked, "Brother Li, what did you steal that warranted such a large-scale arrest by the Gold-Seeking Guard?"

Li Hengfeng said with great enthusiasm, "Extremely simple, just a box of rouge."

Li Xian asked strangely, "A box of rouge? A box of rouge, and it's worth the Gold-Seeking Guard' days-long manhunt?"

Li Hengfeng laughed smugly, "Brother Li, you're quite short-sighted. Let me ask you, is a life precious or worthless?"

Li Xian said, "Of course it is precious." Li Hengfeng said, "But the value of different people's lives varies greatly. How can the lives of emperors and generals be valued the same as those of beggars in the marketplace?"

Li Hengfeng continued, "This box of rouge is just like that. Although it's valuable, Jade City is overflowing with gold and jade. A single box of rouge could easily incite the Gold-Seeking Guard to launch a siege."

"But this box of rouge belongs to the 'Queen of Flowers at the Blue-Heavens Long Dream Tower.' Therefore, its significance is immense. My pursuit and capture of Li Hengfeng is perfectly normal."

Li Xian said, "The most beautiful courtesan of the Blue-Heavens Long Dream Tower?"

Li Hengfeng sighed, "Brother Li, you are supposed to be Jade Citizen, yet your knowledge is so limited. Jade City has countless famous buildings, but the most outstanding is undoubtedly the ' Thirteen Towers of Lustrous Jade.' Next are the Blue-Heavens Long Dream Tower, the Buddha Zenith Pagoda... and so on! These towers are magnificent and grand; one cannot imagine their magnificence without seeing them in person!" Li Xian looked up. The curtain of Jade City seemed to be quietly torn open again. Li Hengfeng said, "That Xu Shaoqian, the Central Lang General of the Gold-Seeking Guard, a man with Silver-Faced Copper-Bodied Rank, is both young and from a noble family. He is currently infatuated with that courtesan. Hearing that her rouge is missing is more urgent than encountering a murder. Naturally, he wants to capture me." As the two were talking, they suddenly felt the ground shake, and several fine horses galloped in from afar.

Li Hengfeng said, "Alright, come on then!"

Xu Shaoqian exceptionally brave and powerful, riding a magnificent blue steed. A gentle breeze swirled around him, and he wore black and gold armor that clung to his body. He stood tall and proud, looking down at Xu Shaoqian.

Xu Shaoqian asked loudly, "Was it your signal to ignite?"

Li Xian cupped his hands and said, "It was I who ignited it!"

Xu Shaoqian asked, "Are you Non-Self my Gold-Seeking Guard, but a constable of Kong Li?" Li Xian replied, "I am a physician from the Miraculous Healers Pavilion, treating patients for Kong Li's constables. Tonight, I was suddenly summoned, Kong Li arranged for us to accompany him to provide medical care! That's why I'm dressed as a constable."

The man beside Xu Shaoqian shouted, "Where is Kong Li!?" He was Lei Chong, Lang General general with Copper Body, Mud Face.

A heavy cough came from afar. Xu Shaoqian gestured with his eyes. The Lang General Lei Chong dismounted, lifted Kong Li from a pile of mud, and brought him before Xu Shaoqian. Kong Li still retained a sliver of consciousness, but his injuries were extremely severe; his lungs and internal organs were badly damaged, rendering him unable to speak or move. Lei Chong pinched his bones and shook his head, saying, "Bone broken, tendons shattered, struck by a fist; extremely serious injuries."

Xu Shaoqian looked at Li Hengfeng and asked in surprise, "You have such abilities?" Li Xian frankly admitted, "Kong Li's injury was my doing." Xu Shaoqian was confused and extremely curious, so he asked with interest, "You said Kong Li temporarily recruited you into the army, but you ended up injuring him? This matter is quite intriguing and worth pondering. Tell me what exactly happened."

Li Xian said, "I was on duty here when County Lieutenant Kong suddenly rode up on horseback, dressed strangely. I thought to myself, although I am a physician temporarily serving as a constable, I still have a duty to protect Jade City. His reckless charge is indeed strange. Moreover, I couldn't immediately recognize County Lieutenant Kong, so I went forward for a routine questioning." County Lieutenant Kong dismounted and attacked me. At first, I was confused and dared not fight back. But gradually I realized the anomaly and guessed that the County Lieutenant Kong before me was probably a bandit in disguise. Therefore, I began to fight back."

"I am not talented, but I have learned some martial arts and possess considerable natural strength. I was able to barely hold my own. I managed to land a few punches on the county magistrate, but he seemed completely oblivious to the pain. I was terrified, thinking I had encountered a strange person, and thus my punches and kicks became even more frantic. When I came to my senses, a figure suddenly darted out from behind County Magistrate Kong. And County Magistrate Kong himself collapsed to the ground."

"Only then did I realize that County Magistrate Kong had been manipulated. At that moment, the thief was about to escape, and I rushed after him, failing to notice County Magistrate Kong's injuries. Now, thinking back, it must have been the thief's doing; my punches landed squarely on County Magistrate Kong, yet I couldn't injure the thief, thus leading him to believe that County Magistrate Kong felt no pain."

Upon hearing this, Kong Li was so enraged that he coughed up blood, his heart pounding with anger. Only then did he realize that Li Xian had known all along that he was being controlled by Li Hengfeng. She had first feigned ignorance, leading Li Hengfeng Li Hengfeng to humiliate him, forcing him to kneel and kowtow. Then, during their fight, she had used ruthless techniques to beat him mercilessly, leaving him speechless and unable to utter a sound. In this way... he could then say whatever he wanted.

Xu Shaoqian nodded and said, "I see. Is he right?"

Li Hengfeng thought to himself, "It seems Brother Li wasn't lying to me; he truly isn't a Gold-Seeking Guard. Although he captured me, he didn't humiliate me. When I questioned his words, he explained himself. He must admire my Intent-Qi. Although he captured me, we have different stances and different goals. Anyway, the situation is irreversible. He said he wants to join the Gold-Seeking Guard, so I might as well lend a hand. It won't cost me anything." He said loudly, "Pretty much right."

Xu Shaoqian said, "You villain, now that you're in my hands, do you have anything to say?"

Li Hengfeng laughed, "Anything to say? Actually, yes. The Gold-Seeking Guard is nothing special!"

Xu Shaoqian frowned. Lei Chong roared, "You audacious madman, you filthy worm, how dare you spout such nonsense!"

Li Hengfeng said, "Hmph, Non-Self bad Li Hengfeng in encountering this person halfway, you Gold-Seeking Guard, would have been completely outmaneuvered by me. How could you possibly capture me?"

Lei Chong paused, his expression grim. Li Hengfeng said, "Although I, Li Hengfeng, ultimately cannot escape this calamity, I have at least humiliated the Gold-Seeking Guard."

Xu Shaoqian said calmly, "You may escape for a while, but you will eventually be caught by the Gold-Seeking Guard. Even if you manage to escape tonight, you won't be able to leave Jade City. It's only a matter of time before they capture you."

Li Hengfeng said, "What you're saying sounds like sophistry. Fine, I'm already a prisoner; if I continue to use my words, I'm afraid I'll offend others." His feigned retreat only fueled the anger of the Gold-Seeking Guard. The Gold-Seeking Guard held high positions, many of them seasoned members of powerful Lineage, outstanding individuals, proud and arrogant. Provoked like this, they wanted to argue back several times, but all their attempts seemed futile.

Knowing that Li Xian Li Hengfeng was willing to help, and that their meeting was purely by chance, Li Xian was deeply grateful for his kindness. He proactively said, "Although I am a physician, I have always admired the Gold-Seeking Guard. I have always wished to join Gold-Seeking Guard. Now that this opportunity is so rare, I dare to ask, is there any chance?"

Xu Shaoqian was taken aback and said, "You want to join the Gold-Seeking Guard?" Li Xian replied, "That's right!"

The Gold-Seeking Guard thought to themselves, "If this person joins the Gold-Seeking Guard, then this scoundrel will still be captured by the Gold-Seeking Guard, and in that case, it won't be a disgrace to our Gold-Seeking Guard's prestige. But what kind of status do we Gold-Seeking Guard have? How can we easily let someone join just because of a moment of spite? Thinking back to our own days, even with Lineage backing, it took us many years of hard work and perseverance to obtain this position!"

Lei Chong sneered, "What is your background?" Li Xian replied, "Just an ordinary Jade Citizen."

Lei Chong asked, "Is there Lineage behind you? What is the highest-ranking member among your relatives?"

Li Xian just kept shaking his head.

Lei Chong then asked, "How many years have you served? What have you done? Do you have a letter of recommendation?"

All questions asked must be denied.

Lei Chong sneered, "How could someone like you join my Gold-Seeking Guard? Do you think just any Gold-Seeking Guard, or Harry can get in?"

Xu Shaoqian raised his hand to stop him, looked at Li Xian, and asked, "Are you really planning to join the Gold-Seeking Guard?"

Lei Chong said, "Central Lang General, you wouldn't..." Xu Shaoqian gestured for him to shut up; he had other plans and quietly looked at Li Xian.

Li Xian remained neither humble nor arrogant; this was his path to advancement. However, it was by no means his only option; he had strived diligently and planned meticulously. If it failed, he would simply leave gracefully, saying, "Of course it's true. But if the Gold-Seeking Guard cannot tolerate me, then so be it."

Xu Shaoqian said, "You certainly have a strong temper. Indeed, what's the point of learning martial arts if you don't have a temper? I, Xu Shaoqian, always give people opportunities. From today onwards, you are Probationary Cavalier. After passing the probationary period in a month, you will be Gold-Seeking Guard Cavalier!"

He picked up a pebble, squeezed it tightly in his hand, and then released it; the pebble had turned into a beautiful green jade. He tossed it to Li Xian, saying, "Take this tomorrow and go to Marquis Wu Station on Westwind Avenue."

Xu Shaoqian asked, "Yes, why wear a mask?" Li Xian replied, "Because I am ugly and do not wish to show myself."

Xu Shaoqian glanced at the jade pendant at Li Xian's waist, but didn't think much of it, saying, "Fine. Wear it then."

Li Xian asked, "May I ask, what will be done with this thief?" Xu Shaoqian replied, "He stole something; the victim should decide his fate." Lei Chong then flicked his whip, binding Li Hengfeng's legs and dragging him along the ground. The Gold-Seeking Guard dispersed.

Li Xian thought to himself, "If it weren't for Li Hengfeng's help, whether this matter would have succeeded or not is truly unpredictable. We've only met by chance, and ultimately have no real connection, though we got along well after our conversation. Yet, I couldn't bring myself to help him against the odds, only to be forced to fight back and become a criminal myself. For me, the bond of friendship isn't strong enough. Besides, my current power and resources aren't sufficient for me to act recklessly. If fate allows, I'd be very willing to repay his kindness, but the affairs of the martial world are truly unpredictable."

Without support, Kong Li swayed precariously, his gaze sharp and fixed on Li Xian. His long-held wish had been easily fulfilled by Li Xian. This dignified county magistrate, a man of Bodyless Mud Face and unremarkable appearance, had been thoroughly humiliated by an ordinary Jade Citizen, beaten until he was nearly collapsing, utterly miserable. And yet, the man only seemed to seize the opportunity to rise again. Li Xian relaxed. This place was located in Zhoushan Ward, quite a distance from Tongji Ward. Moreover, the streets and alleys were a complex maze, making one easily disoriented while navigating them.

Li Xian knew he wouldn't have time to rest tonight. But he needed to hurry back to the Miraculous Healers Pavilion to explain the situation to Yao Baishun. So he walked, taking the opportunity to admire the scenery of Zhoushan Ward along the way.

Suddenly, he came across a main street and saw a towering building. Li Xian was taken aback for a moment, but then he understood.

The pavilion was entirely multicolored and woven from Silkworm Silk. It was remarkably tall and extremely sturdy. This was the "Silkworm Tower."

Li Xian sensed something amiss and knew this must be Wen Caishang's business. He thought, "Jade City is a city of immense wealth. The lady has a fortune; thinking about it carefully, how could Jade City not have her businesses? Her Silkworm Silk is unparalleled; it's probably the best even in Jade City. How could she not sell to Jade City? It seems I still need to be careful; I might encounter the lady in Jade City."

He then sighed, "Li Xian, Li Xian, you made her suffer last time. If you meet her again, things will likely turn out badly. You need to persevere, strive for further improvement, and strengthen your abilities. How can you be intimidated by a mere woman? This lowly lady dares to act so arrogantly; capture her and teach her a lesson."

This Silkworm Tower is truly eye-catching. Woven from Silkworm Silk silk, it is impervious to water and fire, and exquisitely crafted. Standing over a hundred feet tall, the Silkworm Silk shimmers with iridescent light under the moonlight. Looking down the street, this tower is undoubtedly the finest.
