The moonlight was bright, and in front of a small window sat a stunning woman, one hand gently brushing her hair while the other clutched a bloody head. It was Zeng Xuan, who had just killed Wang Dian!
Ye Yang, who had just entered the room, was immediately startled by the scene, nearly fainting. After a moment of stunned silence, he managed to say with a mix of laughter and tears, "Sister Zeng Xuan, what is this...?"
Zeng Xuan had already removed her cloak, draped in light fabric that accentuated her alluring figure. With a smile, she said, "You little brat, I've been working hard for you, and you don't even have a word of thanks?"
Ye Yang stared at the head in Zeng Xuan's hand and asked, "Who is that?"
"Wang Dian..."
"The general from earlier today?"
"Yes!"
"Why did you kill him?" Ye Yang was shocked.
"Because I like it~," Zeng Xuan replied nonchalantly with a slight smile.
Ye Yang took a deep breath and said, "But Sister Zeng Xuan, Wang Dian is a high-ranking general of the empire. By killing him, you're effectively declaring war on the entire Great Qin Empire. Perhaps even the whole Liang City will be affected. Have you thought about that?"
Zeng Xuan smiled slightly, puffed out her chest, and traced her fingers in the air. The starlight flickered as the vast Starlight Power condensed and then dispersed. She smiled and said, "I've lived for over three thousand years; what is a mere Qin Empire to me? Don't you dare tell me that Ying Zheng will send experts to kill me. Hmph! I actually hope he does; after thousands of years, I haven't tasted defeat yet!"
Faced with Zeng Xuan's confidence, Ye Yang felt helpless.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he heard a maid's voice from outside: "Young master, I've brought you new clothes. May I come in?"
Ye Yang tensed up and looked again, only to find that Zeng Xuan had vanished like a whirlwind, leaving no trace behind except for the powerful Starlight Power still lingering nearby.
"Come in!"
"Ye Yang" called out, and the maid entered, holding some clothes. After placing them down, she asked, "Young Master, do you need me to prepare some food and wine?"
"Ye Yang" nodded, "Yes!"
Just then, "Zeng Xuan's" voice drifted into "Ye Yang's" ear, "Get another jug of Qiong Hua Wine, hurry up, kid..."
"Ah? Oh..."
"Ye Yang" hurriedly shouted, "Wait a moment!"
The maid turned around, her face flushed, "Young Master, is there anything else? Um... I'm not really available today..."
"Ye Yang" felt extremely embarrassed as "Zeng Xuan" teased, "Kid, you're really not picky at all; you don't even spare the maid by your side. Sister really didn't misjudge you!"
"Ye Yang" was speechless and slowly said, "It's not about you; I just need you to buy a jug of Qiong Flower Brew for me, okay?"
"But, Young Master, Qiong Flower Brew can only be bought in Liang City at one place, and it's very expensive. A jug costs 50 taels of silver, and we don't have that in the Treasury..."
"Oh, is that so?"
"Ye Yang" reached into his Cosmic Bag and pulled out a banknote for 100 taels of silver, handing it to the maid with a smile. "Please go buy it for me now; hurry back, okay?"
The maid nodded, "Alright, I'll be back soon!"
"Good!"
The maid turned and left the room while "Ye Yang" lamented, "Sister Zeng Xuan, do you really like Qiong Hua Wine that much?"
"Yes!"
The fiery red figure gradually emerged; she had been sitting in the chair by the window all along, merely using the Spirit Concealment Technique, which even Ye Yang could not detect.
"But the Qiong Flower Brew is incredibly expensive..." Ye Yang complained.
Zeng Xuan raised her delicate eyebrows and said, "Good boy, I risked my life to rescue you. Treating me to some food and drinks is nothing. Do you think a lady like me would drink Qiong Flower Brew? Should I drink plain liquor with you instead?"
Ye Yang almost spat blood and replied, "Sister Zeng Xuan, why did you come here? Aren't you going back to the Fire Dragon Cave?"
"I'm not going back," Zeng Xuan said casually.
"Then should I arrange a room for you?"
"No need."
"Where will you stay then?"
"I'll stay here..." Zeng Xuan pointed at Ye Yang's room as if it were a matter of course.
"But I live here too; it's just a man and a woman..."
"Don't worry, I'm over three thousand years old; I'm not interested in you..." Zeng Xuan looked at Ye Yang with amusement and added, "But that Old Soul in your bag must be thousands of years old, right? Tsk tsk..."
Ye Yang was taken aback. Qin Fang? That was an old man over seven thousand years old! Zeng Xuan certainly had peculiar tastes!
To dispel Ye Yang's doubts, Zeng Xuan smiled and said, "Don't worry; you can do as you please. I won't interfere with you, even if you bring that maid to bed. I definitely won't get in your way..."
"Just quietly watching?" Ye Yang replied irritably.
Zeng Xuan's face flushed: "You really understand..."
“……”
……
Not long after, the maid returned, holding a tray with five or six delicious dishes, along with a bottle of Qiong Flower Brew, which was exactly what Zeng Xuan needed.
Having not eaten for a long time, Ye Yang grabbed a roasted chicken and started to gnaw on it, while Zeng Xuan laughed beside him, pouring herself a drink from the jug.
At that moment, a familiar voice echoed in the air. Qin Fang's ethereal figure appeared nearby: “What smells so good?”
Zeng Xuan glanced over and said, “Old Qin, your Soul Power is getting weaker and weaker. Did you make a move again last night?”
Qin Fang nodded: “I took down an Earth Level Seven. What about you, Zeng Xuan?”
“Oh, I killed an Earth Level Nine.”
“……”
Qin Fang sighed helplessly: “It's a pity my body has long since vanished. Otherwise, even if ten Starry Sky Experts came at me, I wouldn't bat an eye!”
“Oh, were you very strong when you were alive?” Zeng Xuan raised an eyebrow and asked provocatively.
Qin Fang chuckled: “Of course! I was a Level Seven Starry Sky Expert in my prime. And you, Zeng Xuan, are only at Level Three of the Starry Sky now…”
Zeng Xuan laughed: “So what? The fact remains that you can't defeat me now!”
Qin Fang sighed repeatedly, feeling quite helpless. Under the eaves, one must bow their head; this made him feel like a tiger that had fallen to the plains being bullied by dogs. Of course, Zeng Xuan was not a dog but a fierce and beautiful tigress with the strength to dominate the continent!
……
"Ye Yang, let's start refining that Fire Serpent Core with the Refining Technique. This can quickly enhance your cultivation!" Qin Fang suggested.
Ye Yang nodded and said, "Unfortunately, I don't have any extraordinary iron ore at the moment. Otherwise, I could forge a decent Weapon. My Breaking Flame Sword was taken by Peng Feng, what a pity..."
"Who said that?"
Zeng Xuan waved her hand, and a long sword shot through the air, swirling with crimson flames. It was indeed the Seventh-Rank Weapon, Breaking Flame Sword, that Ye Yang had lost!
"Ah? Breaking Flame..." Ye Yang grabbed the Sharp Sword with excitement while also touching the token in his pocket. He looked at Zeng Xuan and asked, "Did Peng Feng give me a National Hero Token? Did you get it for me, Sister Zeng Xuan?"
Zeng Xuan nodded and smiled, "That's right. Seven years ago, I killed a rogue assassin and obtained this token from him. I heard that this kind of token is issued only once a year and there are no more than ten in total. I'm giving this one to you; you need it more than I do."
Ye Yang understood that a National Hero Token was like an imperial decree that could be used to protect the Ye Family. For the Ye Family, this small token was no different from a savior.
