Xu Xiaonian ignored Tang San, who stood there howling like a ghost and spouting threats, yet never dared step forward to fight for his life. He turned and left with the three girls.
The sun sank in the west, its pale red light washing over their four upright figures, leaving the nightmare of their retreating backs branded in Tang San's heart.
"Damn it! I'll have my revenge!"
Tang San's face twisted viciously. "Xu Xiaonian of Spirit Hall, was it? I had no quarrel with your Spirit Hall, yet you killed my father. For this, we cannot live beneath the same sky!"
His father had been nothing more than a blacksmith, yet they had not spared even him. How utterly vicious!
Xu Xiaonian! Spirit Hall!
You have already paved your own road to death!
He did not know why they had left him alive, but Spirit Hall and Xu Xiaonian were already on his list of future targets for revenge.
Elsewhere.
"Master, why didn't you kill..."
Confusion showed on Zhu Zhuqing's face as she began asking why Xu Xiaonian had spared Tang San.
To her surprise, Zhu Zhuyun sharply interrupted her from beside them:
"Zhu Zhuqing! Master has his reasons for his decisions. As his maids, we need only obey his orders. Understand?"
Zhu Zhuqing said, "..."
After being scolded by her sister, she wore a thoroughly speechless expression.
*Go compete over your ***! I wasn't questioning him!
Who needs you showing off your loyalty here, Zhu Zhuyun?
Zhu Zhuyun resented her sister's lack of propriety, while Zhu Zhuqing resented her sister's deliberate showing off.
The sisters locked eyes, as though invisible laser beams were colliding between them. The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.
"Ahem!"
Xu Xiaonian cleared his throat twice, drawing the two girls' attention away, and said:
"Tang San can help us draw out more people and factions who harbor hostility toward Spirit Hall—our potential enemies. For every one he finds and rallies, we can kill one."
Beside him, Zhu Zhuyun looked utterly admiring. "As expected of Master! You're simply brilliant!"
Xu Xiaotang looked puzzled. "How do you know he can rally those people? He's just a measly rank twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster."
Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun had the same question, but as maids, they did not dare voice such doubts.
"Heh. That is Tang San's destiny."
Xu Xiaonian stood with his hands behind his back and spoke words that left the three girls utterly bewildered:
"Fate will push him forward, gathering every faction opposed to Spirit Hall. This will become a great calamity for Spirit Hall."
"Rebirth from the ashes will come after the calamity; the continent will be born anew."
That evening.
"I'm sorry, but our hotel only has one room with a large bed left," the attendant said apologetically.
Xu Xiaonian said, "..."
Does this cliché happen whenever men and women walk into a hotel together?
And so.
Three girls and one boy crowded into a room at another hotel. Xu Xiaonian occupied half of the large bed, while the three girls occupied the other half.
"Damn it! Why do you get to have it so good?" Xu Xiaotang looked deeply disgruntled.
"Because you can't beat me." Xu Xiaonian glanced at her without the slightest sympathy. After all, even half of the large bed was already quite spacious for three girls.
This bed... seems to have been prepared by the hotel specifically for "group exercise"...
Just thinking about it is pretty exciting...
He did, after all, have a young boy's body, and he had not been particularly old mentally in his previous life either. Faced with these three breathtakingly beautiful girls, Xu Xiaonian truly found it difficult to restrain himself.
In the middle of the night.
Xu Xiaonian tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Whenever he closed his eyes, his mind filled with Zhu Zhuyun's perky rear and breasts, along with those seductive, desire-filled eyes that constantly signaled her availability to him.
"Whew..."
"To hell with it."
"I've worked hard cultivating for six or seven years. It's time I enjoyed myself!"
Xu Xiaonian's gaze firmed. He reckoned that Zhu Zhuyun was nineteen this year, so the divine beast of censorship probably would not arrest him.
He rolled out of bed and entered the bathroom, sending Zhu Zhuyun an order through the Retainer Mark at the same time.
A moment later.
Wearing her nightclothes, Zhu Zhuyun slipped quietly into the bathroom. A broad expanse of snowy skin and a fathomless cleavage showed at her chest, while her covered rear swayed and quivered with each step, full and rounded.
Upon seeing Xu Xiaonian, she lightly bit her red lip, the intense desire in her eyes nearly spilling over.
"Master, please be gentle..."
The next day.
"How did my sister get prettier after just one night's sleep?"
"Zhu Yun... it feels like her figure has gotten even better?"
Having woken early, Xu Xiaotang and Zhu Zhuqing gathered beside the bed, gazing in amazement at Zhu Zhuyun, who was still fast asleep on the large bed.
Zhu Zhuyun's face was rosy, and her complexion looked wonderful, noticeably different from the day before.
The two girls vaguely sensed something odd, but being inexperienced, neither guessed in that direction.
Off to the side.
Xu Xiaonian's expression shifted.
It seemed the soundproofing barrier he had set up yesterday had worked.
He had battled all night and simply had not slept, yet he felt no fatigue whatsoever. Instead, he too looked radiant, believing he had completed an important transformation in his life.
"All right, you two, stop crowding around Zhu Yun. Let her sleep a little longer."
"Today, come with me to Sunset Forest. I'll show you something good."
