A night of passion, the taste of which is not something to be shared with outsiders.
All that is known is that on this night, the most luxurious residence of the Li Family noble family in Jiangnan City, was seized, and a certain female demon of the martial arts world also experienced the pleasures of love between men and women.
Early in the morning, after finishing his morning exercises, Xu Xiao watched Li Mochou fall into a deep sleep again before going to do his business.
He was going to find the highest-ranking official in the area to learn about the current state of affairs.
It wasn't until noon, when the sun was high in the sky, that Xu Xiao returned from the prefectural governor's office in Jiangnan.
Li Mochou, exhausted from a night's work Shangqing, finally woke up slowly.
The first thing Li Mochou did upon waking was to look for her bedmate. Upon discovering Xu Xiao wasn't there, she immediately shouted:
"Xu Lang! Where are you?"
"I'm outside. Are you awake?"
"I'll have a maid come in to help you wash and dress. Once you're done, come out for lunch."
Xu Xiao's voice came from outside the door, which calmed Li Mochou down after she had been flustered.
It's somewhat laughable that I was so insecure, having invested my heart and soul in a man I'd only just met in a single night.
However, upon glancing at the messy bed, Li Mochou blushed again, and then carefully tidied up the sheets.
Once Li Mochou was confirmed to be awake, the maids who had been standing outside the door quickly went inside and then washed and dressed themselves.
Feeling somewhat unaccustomed to the change, Li Mochou, with the help of her maids, changed out of her usual apricot-yellow Daoist robe and put on a brocade long skirt often worn by noble ladies in Jiangnan, and styled her hair into a woman's bun.
Soon, a beautiful woman dressed in a light blue satin dress embroidered with bamboo, plum blossoms, and orchids appeared in the room.
Brocade was a precious commodity in this era, and the magnificent long dress made this newlywed woman appear even more beautiful and charming.
Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Li Mochou was amazed by her own beauty.
As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse.
Li Mochou, already stunningly beautiful, looked even more breathtaking in this gorgeous brocade dress, leaving even her maidservants speechless with amazement.
I initially thought it was a notorious thief from Jiangnan breaking into the house, but it turned out to be such a beautiful woman.
Last night, Xu Xiao only used a little mind control to make the Li Family powerful clan in Jiangnan, obediently hand over everything.
After gaining Divine Sense, Xu Xiao discovered that his Telekinesis could penetrate deep into the brains of ordinary people, allowing him to exert temporary mental control over some of them, without needing to kill to establish his authority every time.
It wasn't that he had become kind-hearted, but rather that he felt it was somewhat inappropriate to always end up in such a bloody situation.
After washing and dressing, Li Mochou didn't linger for a moment and went straight out, only to find Xu Xiao already waiting for her in the courtyard outside the door.
Upon seeing Xu Xiao, she couldn't help but blush, but she still ran over and timidly called out, "Xu Lang."
"Hmm, Mochou, how is it? Doesn't this outfit look prettier and more comfortable than the Daoist robe?"
Xu Xiao's eyes lit up as well; indeed, this brocade accentuated the woman's beauty even better.
Of course, Li Mochou in a Daoist robe also has a unique charm; it's just that each one is different.
"Hmm, it's quite pretty, but I feel like these clothes are easily soiled and inconvenient. I'm afraid they'll get ruined if I use my internal energy or move around."
Li Mochou began to describe her feelings about the clothes, somewhat dazed.
As someone who operates within the martial arts world, she wouldn't choose clothing that would impede her movements.
Aside from a few naive or inexperienced female warriors, almost no one would choose a long skirt—a beautiful but impractical garment.
"Haha, you won't have to go out and fight anymore."
That's not something you should be thinking about.
Xu Xiao shook his head and smiled, then casually pulled Li Mochou to his side.
This woman has been wandering the martial world for too long, so naturally she's thinking about things that only the martial world knows. But why would Xu Xiao let her wander the martial world again?
He had already realized that this world was not the same as the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils; it was now the Southern Song Dynasty.
Just like in the story, the Mongolia rose to power and were eyeing the Southern Song with hostility.
"Xu Lang, what are you laughing at? Do you look down on my martial arts?"
"Although I am not as good as you, I am still a top-notch fighter in the martial arts world."
Li Mochou let Xu Xiao pull her along, but a competitive expression appeared on her face.
"Yes, yes, yes, my Mochou is the best."
Xu Xiao offered a compliment, and Li Mochou immediately smiled.
"But Xu Lang, what kind of martial arts do you practice? How can you fly and freeze me in place without my noticing?"
Although she had already fallen for the man in front of her, Li Mochou was still curious about Xu Xiao's methods.
She had traveled to many places in the Central Plains, but she had never witnessed such amazing martial arts skills as Xu Xiao.
"This is martial arts, a method to attain enlightenment through martial arts. It allows one to ride the wind, achieve longevity, and remain youthful."
"Really?! You're ageless!" Li Mochou only heard the second half of the sentence.
No woman is uninterested in staying young; it's in her nature.
"What? You want to learn?" Xu Xiao chuckled.
At this moment, maids had already set up a table in the courtyard with various dishes, and Xu Xiao pulled Li Mochou to sit down.
"Is it possible? Can I learn it too?" Li Mochou hesitated.
Martial arts are not something that just anyone can learn, especially the kind of martial arts that Xu Xiao mentioned, which has all sorts of magical effects.
If this kind of martial arts were to spread, not only would the martial arts world be tempted, but even the imperial court would be envious.
True, unparalleled martial arts skills cannot be passed down even to a woman, let alone a biological son.
"Of course, I said I'd treat you well. After dinner, I'll teach you the basics of Qi cultivation."
Xu Xiao nodded.
This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; it was, in a way, an experiment.
He wanted to see if the martial arts techniques from other worlds could be taught to people from other worlds.
Although the Carefree Wind Riding is a divine skill of the Carefree Sect, Xu Xiao can travel through countless worlds, and he will definitely have even better martial arts skills in the future, so there is no need to hide them.
Moreover, practicing this for his women can help them stay young and allow him to see them more often.
Xu Xiao's cheat ability currently only allows him to travel through time alone; aside from a few small personal items, he can't take anything with him.
Before coming, he deliberately sat in a war chariot in Vanguard City, but only the crystal core he carried with him was brought over.
Perhaps he will find a way to take others with him across the journey in the future, but perhaps he won't.
Therefore, he is not stingy with the women and descendants of his bloodline in various worlds; he will try his best to let them live as long as possible.
In this way, these people can also indirectly help him control these worlds and prevent them from deviating from his plans.
For example, before leaving the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils World, Xu Xiao instructed them to continue searching for hidden information about various sects' martial arts cultivation methods, and even to gather the strength of most people in the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils World to study cultivation methods above the Innate.
After all, Xu Xiao himself lacked the knowledge to figure out how to proceed beyond his Innate.
With everyone's combined efforts, a prodigy will surely surprise him. He'll find out if he's gained anything when he returns next time.
The ability to travel through time and space is not the most precious thing; rather, it is these living, breathing worlds.
