On the mountain path, three young men and women walked side by side.
Ye Yang wore a green shirt, with the Haotian Sword hidden beneath his cloak. He stepped confidently in Tiger Skin Boots, and his wrists were wrapped in Wolfskin Bracers. He looked like a hunter from the mountains, but the pride that occasionally showed on his face would make anyone think he was just a boy hunting in the wild.
Yun Xiaoxi was dressed in a long robe, concealing a light blue Armor underneath. The Snowdrift Sword was wrapped in thick cloth, held gracefully in her hands. Her poised demeanor and unintentional beauty often left Ye Yang mesmerized.
As for Zeng Xuan, her outfit today was certainly extraordinary. Beneath her red garments, her figure was subtly alluring, with her long Snow Legs particularly captivating. However, she wore a long Black Cloak over it all, wrapping her arms tightly within it, which made her appear somewhat reserved.
Ye Yang glanced at Zeng Xuan and said, "Are you really going to meet Zaochi dressed like that?"
"What's wrong with it?" Zeng Xuan replied.
Ye Yang pouted, "This is not right at all. You should either be more dignified or more bold. Wearing that thick Cloak makes you look like you're hiding something. If Zaochi can't see your unparalleled beauty, he definitely won't be enchanted enough to drink the fine wine you offer."
Zeng Xuan let out a soft whine and looked at Ye Yang with a mix of grievance and annoyance. "You little brat! You want me to seduce Zaochi? But what if he takes advantage of me? I... I've cultivated for nearly ten thousand years and have never truly been close to a man. Why should I make such a huge sacrifice for you?"
Yun Xiaoxi turned her beautiful eyes toward Ye Yang and said, "Yes, Zi Yu, this isn't exactly a foolproof plan..."
Ye Yang gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Xuan, if Zaochi really dares to lay hands on you, just slap him across the face. I'll back you up!"
Zeng Xuan smiled brightly at this: "I like that! Zi Yu, how do you plan to help me take down Zaochi?"
"Uh, I'll disguise myself as Zaochi's guard and escort you inside. Once we trick Zaochi into drinking the poisoned wine, I'll lead him out of the tavern. I'll confront him directly while Sister Xuan uses Soul Technique to disrupt him. Xiaoxi should stay hidden at a distance with a Longbow to take him out. We need to be fully prepared."
"Okay." Both Zeng Xuan and Yun Xiaoxi nodded in agreement.
Three people reached the halfway point of the mountain when two guards approached, both bearing the emblem of the Zaochi army on their shoulders. Clearly, these were soldiers patrolling the area.
"Be careful!" Yun Xiaoxi's expression darkened as she said, "These guards are at least Earth Level Seven in strength. Once they engage in battle, their aura will alert other nearby guards. If that happens, it could attract Zaochi's attention. A year ago, several of my junior sisters met their demise at the hands of Zaochi this way."
Ye Yang nodded. "Don't worry, we'll take them out quietly. Besides, I was just lamenting not having a set of guard uniforms, and here they come to deliver one!"
Zeng Xuan chuckled lightly. "Go ahead, take action..."
At that moment, the two guards had already approached and drew their swords. "Hey, you! Who are you and how did you end up on Serene Mountain?"
Ye Yang skillfully wore a smile and replied, "Gentlemen, I am a hunter from Twin Head Mountain. I brought my two younger sisters to visit relatives but ended up lost. We wandered around and found ourselves here without realizing it was Serene Mountain. We'll head down now; I hope you can let us pass!"
The guards looked over at Zeng Xuan and Yun Xiaoxi. Upon seeing the two stunning beauties, they immediately revealed lewd smiles. "Kid, your sisters are quite beautiful. Since you've come to Serene Mountain, why rush to leave? Our Carved Tooth Great Lord requires wild game every day. You can hunt for us here on Serene Mountain. We’ll pay you two taels of silver each month. As for your sisters, they can work here too—washing clothes, making beds, serving tea—and when we’re in a good mood, heh heh, they can entertain us as well..."
Ye Yang was alarmed. "Gentlemen, please! My two sisters are still innocent young ladies; they hope to marry and earn some silver in the future! You mustn't take their virtue! How will I explain this to my eighty-year-old mother when I return home?"
The two guards impatiently shoved Ye Yang aside. "Get lost! The women I want are never out of reach. Isn’t it just about silver? Here’s ten taels; that should be enough. Now scram! These two beauties belong to us on Serene Mountain!"
Ye Yang fell to the ground in despair, crying out helplessly, "No! My beautiful sisters! Gentlemen, please be gentle; don’t be too rough..."
Suddenly, Zeng Xuan and Yun Xiaoxi were both furious, their faces turning pale with rage. In an instant, they moved swiftly; two shards of Divine Crystal Energy pierced through the guards' foreheads, killing them instantly without a trace of battle aura leaking out. As the guards fell straight down with lewd smiles still on their faces, they never understood what had just happened.
"Smack!"
Zeng Xuan grabbed Ye Yang by the collar and lifted him up with a murderous glare. "You little brat! You were too weak just now! How could you... Hmph! You must have done that on purpose! Saying things like 'be gentle' and 'don’t be too rough'—are you trying to get yourself killed?"
Yun Xiaoxi swung her fist and punched Ye Yang in the chest, laughing, "You idiot Zi Yu, how dare you say that about me and Sister Zeng Xuan..."
"Exactly..."
Zeng Xuan was no longer angry, as she had already discerned Ye Yang's intentions. Since Fox Moon's death, Yun Xiaoxi had been gloomy, and it seemed that only Ye Yang could make her laugh.
...
Dressed in a set of guard attire, Ye Yang led two Beauties down the mountain. They passed through the town and bought some anesthetic at the apothecary. This anesthetic was originally meant to poison arrowheads; ordinary hunters lacked sufficient strength and could only use poisoned arrows to kill some Low-Level Beasts. Otherwise, first and second-tier magical beasts would rampage through the town, and no one would be able to subdue them. When Serene Gate was still around, Fox Moon would send disciples to patrol Serene Mountain to eliminate wild beasts for the common people. Now that Serene Gate had been taken over by Zaochi, they no longer cared about the lives of civilians and only sought their own amusement.
They purchased three taels of anesthetic. According to the Innkeeper, this anesthetic was extracted from a type of iron tree found in the mountains; it was colorless and tasteless and could dissolve in water, so mixing it with wine would not pose much of a problem.
After waiting until nightfall, the sound of thundering hooves echoed on Main Street of Serene Gate. Hundreds of formidable Iron Cavalry cleared the way as a lean figure rode in, holding a fiery red spear. It was none other than the infamous Zaochi, with deep-set eyes filled with coldness and a lewd expression that made one feel utterly disgusted.
The largest tavern in town had been renamed Flower Pavilion, adorned with lanterns and decorations. Many women were being escorted inside by guards. On both sides of the road, numerous elderly townsfolk wept bitterly as they watched their daughters being taken into Flower Pavilion but dared not voice their anger, only able to cry in sorrow.
"This beast..." Yun Xiaoxi tightly gripped her Snowdrift Sword.
Ye Yang shook his head to signal her: "Now is not the time to act. Little Stream, you hide in the forest outside the town and find a tall tree. Be ready to assist me and Sister Xuan with your crossbow at any moment. As for you... Sister Xuan, after all the women have entered Flower Pavilion, you come in with me and act according to the situation!"
Zeng Xuan nodded: "Understood."
...
Not long after, Ye Yang held Zeng Xuan's hand and led her step by step toward Flower Pavilion.
Zeng Xuan grasped Ye Yang's hand tightly, feeling a mix of emotions. Suddenly stopping, she murmured in the night, "Zi Yu, I..."
"What happened, Sister Xuan?"
"I thought that if we kept walking like this, we would never reach the Flower Pavilion. In that case, I would be willing to live another ten thousand years without feeling lonely..." Zeng Xuan looked at Ye Yang with an expression she had never shown before, her red eyes filled with deep affection. She murmured, "Zi Yu, what if I fall in love with you?"
Ye Yang was taken aback for a moment and smiled lightly. "We are already gods. As long as we survive this battle, there will be plenty of time ahead. Sister Xuan, I have always regarded you as my sister. If you like me, I will accept it. I will always be by your side. However, I must tell you in advance that I love the stream, and that will never change."
A smile appeared on Zeng Xuan's lips. "Alright then, with your words, even if I get touched by that old guy Zaochi, it would still be worth it..."
Ye Yang's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. "Whichever hand Zaochi uses to touch you, I will cut off that hand."
...
The two slowly entered the Flower Pavilion. The guard glanced at Ye Yang and said, "Why did you come so late?"
Ye Yang grinned. "This little girl is too fierce; I almost got beaten up by her."
The guard laughed. "Hurry up and go in. Lord Zaochi loves fiery beauties like her the most. Hmph, who would like someone lying in bed without moving?!"
Ye Yang gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "Damn it, I'll come back and deal with all of you later..."
