Arhats Subduing Demons: Starting with The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber

Chapter 145 Finally, My Wish Was Fulfilled

As soon as Zhou Zhiruo said this, Yun Changkong remained silent, but Zhao Min sneered, "Zhou Zhiruo, what kind of way did you come up with to become a nun and get rid of us? You're underestimating us."

Zhou Zhiruo smiled bitterly, "Miss Zhao, I don't expect you to forgive me, but are you so afraid of me? Besides, as a Mongolian princess, you can stand with Hero Yun, can't you give me a chance to start anew?"

Zhao Min was about to speak when Yun Changkong waved his hand and said, "Alright, when Abbess Miejue arrives, we can witness the birth of an Emei nun."

Hearing this, the group was taken aback, not expecting Yun Changkong to offer no advice whatsoever.

A blush rose between Zhou Zhiruo's brows and cheeks, like a lotus flower emerging from the water, naturally beautiful. She slowly said, "Thank you," and turned to leave.

Yun Changkong suddenly raised his hand and said, "Please wait."

Zhou Zhiruo turned around, as if asking a question.

Yun Changkong cupped his hands and said, "Miss Zhou, I was truly reckless in the past. Back then, I never saw a woman give up so much because of a single word I said."

Therefore, many of my words have indeed caused harm to people, and the damage is difficult to heal, but I don't take it seriously.

But now I understand, I was wrong. I apologize again for my past arrogance, and I hope you will forgive me.

Zhou Zhiruo looked at Zhao Min: "Are these feelings because of her?"

Yun Changkong nodded and said, "Yes. When I first met Minmin, I told her that she should play the grass-fighting game in the courtyard, not play with people's hearts. If she could join hands with me and roam freely in the martial world, even if we couldn't be a divine couple, we could still live a carefree life."

To be honest, I was surrounded by formidable enemies that day and didn't put my heart into it. I relied on words, but in my heart I was actually plotting how to get her under my control. I didn't expect her to take my words to heart.

So, she came with me to Wudang Mountain. Down at the foot of the mountain, she asked me what I had told her, but I couldn't remember at the time, which is quite embarrassing to admit.

Hearing this, the women were all deeply moved. Some of Yun Changkong's ideas and actions were simply unprecedented. At this moment, on Peach Blossom Island, Huang Yaoshi was known for his evil deeds, but compared to Yun Changkong's actions, he wasn't as evil as Huang Yaoshi.

Zhao Min gazed at Yun Changkong with tender affection, her beauty as radiant as a newly blossoming flower or a newly polished jade mirror.

When Zhou Zhiruo saw that she had shown such joy because of Yun Changkong's words, she was stunned and sighed, "A woman dresses up for the one who appreciates her. I am beginning to understand why she is so good."

"I vaguely understand?" Yun Changkong laughed and said, "Miss Zhou, my wife's goodness is evidenced by a poem, which says: Rouge cannot conceal the hero's spirit, and her wisdom can overturn the world's chessboard."

Daring to break free from constraints and pursue lofty ideals, with clear eyes discerning the falsehoods of the world.

She cast aside the princess's golden seal and followed the vast sky to wander the ends of the earth.

Even across vast landscapes, a single smile can win the heart more beautifully than fine silk.

Zhao Min had once heard Yun Changkong praise the woman in yellow and asked him to praise her as well. Now, hearing this doggerel, her heart was stirred even more, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Ever since she met Yun Changkong in Kaifeng and decided to devote her life to him, she has fallen deeper and deeper in love. Now, she feels that it was all worth it.

The Purple-Robed Dragon King and Xiao Zhao were extremely envious. After all, whether the poem was good or not, or whether he had talent, was not important. What mattered was that he was willing to write a poem for this woman, and that was enough.

Zhou Zhiruo was also shaken, and said in a deep voice, "I know I am indeed not as good as her. Whether you believe me or not, I accept your apology." With that, she drifted away.

Zhao Min was still awake. Seeing the Purple-Robed Dragon King and her daughter still looking at her, she spat softly, "You, you really are, really annoying..."

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "How could I be annoying!"

Zhao Min chuckled: "This beautiful Zhou is a natural actress. Why don't you play along and give her a proper performance? Why don't you tell her all those things about how Buddhist practice is all about the heart and that being a monk or a layperson is the same?"

"Aren't you afraid?" the Purple-Robed Dragon King scoffed. "If she really stays with us on the island, are you really that at ease?"

Upon hearing her sudden remark, Yun Changkong felt a surge of warmth in his heart and was about to embrace this beautiful woman. However, upon seeing Xiao Zhao, he could only say, "Xiao Zhao, I am an honest man and I do not do things in secret. In the past, when we were in the martial world, there were some things that were difficult to say."

Today I'll tell you, your mother's relationship with me is the same as my wife's.

Upon hearing this, the Purple-Robed Dragon King's pupils suddenly contracted.

Even though Xiao Zhao already knew, upon hearing this, she trembled violently, her eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she stammered, "You...you..."

The Purple-Robed Dragon King felt somewhat ashamed and turned to leave.

"Stop!" Yun Changkong said in a loud voice, "When your mother and I first got together, it was indeed by chance, not our intention. But after that one time, I couldn't live without her."

So she can only be my wife, and even if she doesn't want to, I won't let her go.

So, regarding your question, my opinion is that it should be voluntary. I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do, and you don't need to subtly accuse me of being a bad person, even if I'm not a good person to begin with.

Xiao Zhao stammered, "I didn't say you were a bad person."

Zhao Min laughed and said, "That means you're saying your mother is a bad person."

Xiao Zhao was so embarrassed that she quickly said, "I didn't mention my mother!" Then she turned and ran away.

"Xiao Zhao!" The Purple-Robed Dragon King was about to give chase.

Yun Changkong swayed and grabbed her wrist, saying, "Let her calm down. I've sealed Zhou Zhiruo's internal energy, so she can't cause any trouble even if she wants to!"

The Purple-Robed Dragon King thought for a moment and said, "Why do you insist on saying that I am your wife? Although it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines, one can only have one wife."

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "Those rules are set for worldly people. If we were to travel in the martial world, these views would naturally be important. Minmin is my wife, but since we have decided not to travel in the martial world anymore, here, you are all my wives, and no one can interfere."

He spoke with a serious expression, yet a hint of domineering glint appeared between his brows. As he spoke, he took the Purple-Robed Dragon King's hand and gazed at her with deep affection: "I know you've had a hard time these past years. From now on, let's cast everything aside and spend the rest of our lives together."

The Purple-Robed Dragon King sighed and said, "But in Xiao Zhao's heart, she only regards you as an object of her affection."

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "But I've become her father, so there's nothing I can do about it!"

The Purple-Robed Dragon King rolled his eyes at him and said, "If I really looked like Granny Golden Flower, would you still want me?"

Yun Changkong stroked her face and smiled, "My dear sister Long, you're being too harsh."

You and Minmin are equally beautiful in my eyes, because it's the way you both are willing to do anything for your loved ones that truly touches my heart.

As he spoke, he pulled her toward Zhao Min, and took Zhao Min's hand with his other hand.

Although Zhao Min felt a pang of sadness, it was better than having her beloved completely taken away. Fortunately, her father treated her very well, and Prince Ruyang also had many concubines, which she had grown accustomed to since childhood. In fact, she believed that capable men should have many women.

Zhao Min said, "I've said everything I needed to say. I'm going to sleep now!"

Yun Changkong knew that this legitimate wife was trying to slack off. He released her hand, then subtly put his arm around her waist, and with his other hand he also put his arm around the Purple-Robed Dragon King, saying, "Minmin is my good wife whom I have sworn allegiance to heaven and earth and my parents, and has appeared before countless heroes and warriors. As for Sister Dragon, she is also a blessing from heaven and a confidante who helped me to start anew when I was on a wrong path and in distress."

From this day forward, regardless of age, everyone is my good wife!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Min was completely captivated. She tightly embraced her husband's waist and rested his head against her chest.

The Purple-Robed Dragon King gazed at Yun Changkong, his deep, pool-like eyes filled with tenderness, and said, "Are we really not going to see outsiders anymore?"

Yun Changkong, with a beauty in each arm, was excited when he suddenly thought, "I still need to retrieve the secrets of the Heaven-Slaying Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber, and especially the military strategy must be passed on to Zhang Wuji so that it can be given to a great military strategist like Xu Da." He said, "Once I see Abbess Miejue, I will ignore worldly affairs."

The Purple-Robed Dragon King revealed a shrewd look in his eyes: "Back then, Abbess Miejue used the Heaven-Slaying Sword to cut off my Coral Golden Crutch, and I still hold a grudge! Now that she's here, I want to have a contest with her using the Dragon-Slaying Saber."

“Hmm…” Yun Changkong was speechless.

Six years ago, in Butterfly Valley, Abbess Miejue had fought with Ji Xiaofu because of her. Now, hearing this, he knew that if he couldn't do something to satisfy her, he would probably still be a long way from enjoying the bliss of having two women.

Fortunately, Yun Changkong's mind worked exceptionally well in the face of adversity.
He gazed into the distance, as if talking to himself: "Purple robes reflect the snow and shine brightly, a Persian fairy-like figure crowns the martial world."

The entire hall paled at the sight; her pure heart refused to be tainted by vulgar people.

She was once a radiant and beautiful saint, her charm as delicate as a lotus emerging from the water.

With a long sword held horizontally, even demons tremble in fear; daring to throw brocade robes into the world of martial arts.

After the golden flowers have faded and the lead paint has been washed away, the coral staff stirs the heavens and earth.
The mother-in-law endured the loss of her stunning beauty, and remained proud and unyielding through half a lifetime of ups and downs.

Even though Persia reveres the Holy Throne, my soul is bound to this day.

The Purple-Robed Dragon King once performed a dance for Yun Changkong's flying sword at the Green Water Cold Pool on Bright Peak. Moved by this, he wrote a limerick.

Hearing him recite a poem again about his experiences, she smiled with admiration and said, "Alright, after hearing what you say, I won't hold it against her. Let her become the leader of the number one sect in the world."

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "Yes, what does Granny Jin Hua's grudges and affections have to do with my sister Long?"

Zhao Min laughed and said, "Sister, we've been fooled. This must be another way he deceives women."

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "Another method? Then there must be another method. Tell me!" As he spoke, he stroked her waist upwards.

Zhao Min spat and said, "You're bad, you're bad!" She then punched him in the chest with her fist.

Yun Changkong laughed, "You've murdered your husband!" After laughing for a while, he added, "Alright, from now on we'll be living together. The island lord will establish family rules, and you'll have to abide by them!"

Zhao Min stared wide-eyed, full of curiosity.

The Purple-Robed Dragon King glared at him and curled his lip, as if he already knew what tricks this guy had up his sleeve.

Yun Changkong said with high spirits, "Since we say that we don't distinguish between seniority and juniority, we can't show favoritism. From now on, we must practice the 'Husband and Wife Three Cultivation Technique' together. Everyone below me must follow it without fail!"

Upon hearing this, both women blushed simultaneously. Zhao Min spat and said, "You're dreaming! Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

The Purple-Robed Dragon King was both amused and exasperated. He had said, "All those below the Island Lord must obey without question," and with a tap on Yun Changkong's waist, he pulled himself out of his embrace, saying, "Who's going to go crazy with you? I'm going to find Xiao Zhao!" With that, his purple robes billowed in the wind, and he vanished.

When Yun Changkong saw that they were still shy about sleeping together, he immediately picked up Zhao Min and said, "Wife, don't even think about running away!" He then swayed and went back into the house.

Zhao Min knew that she was doomed and her legs went weak, but she was also filled with anticipation.

As soon as they returned to the room, Zhao Minyu's face lit up with joy under the candlelight, her eyes sparkling. Yun Changkong felt dizzy and shouted, "Minmin!"

Zhao Min whispered, "Turn off the lights!"

Yun Changkong knew she was shy, after all, this wasn't a place where just the two of them lived, so he immediately waved his hand and turned off the light!
The world spun around her, and Zhao Min felt as if she were about to explode.

Yun Changkong's love is something to look forward to and something to be excited about, but the intensity of it makes her feel like she'd be happy to die for him, and that's what makes life worthwhile.

Suddenly, Yun Changkong heard a soft "click" sound, and his heart leaped with joy. He thought to himself, "Could it be that the Dragon King couldn't resist and came here!" He had been thinking about sleeping with the Dragon King, and in a flash, he rushed out and silently pushed open the door.

Sure enough, a figure was standing seven or eight steps outside the door. At this moment, the stars and moon were not shining, and it was dark so that the face could not be seen clearly, but the figure was slender and it was obviously a woman.

Without touching the ground, Yun Changkong swept over, his five fingers like hooks, and grabbed the other's wrist, about to pick him up.

But then they heard a gasp from the other party.

Yun Changkong recognized Zhou Zhiruo's voice and, startled, released his grip, saying, "Why is it you? What are you doing here?"

Yun Changkong emerged naked. Even in the darkness, Zhou Zhiruo was startled. She stammered shyly, like a petty thief caught in the act, "I...I...I can't sleep, I..."

Yun Chang scoffed, "Nonsense! What are you doing here if you can't sleep? Go back!"

Zhou Zhiruo snorted, "You shameless bastard! You actually had an affair with Xiao Zhao's mother! Who do you think you are?" Just then, someone coldly said, "I think you want to die!"

Then they saw that the Purple-Robed Dragon King had already arrived at the door.

Upon seeing her, Yun Changkong moved with lightning speed, catching the Purple-Robed Dragon King in his arms.

The Purple-Robed Dragon King, caught in Zhou Zhiruo's embrace, blushed crimson and cried out, "Let go..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yun Changkong sealed her cherry lips with a kiss.

She heard Zhou Zhiruo acting suspiciously and thought she was going to do something, but little did she know she was walking into a tiger's den.

As Zhou Zhiruo watched Yun Changkong enter the house again, she looked up at the sky. The sky was vast and the starlight was dim, but the two lines of clear tears on her cheeks were like the dazzling stars in the sky.

She didn't expect that when Yun Changkong encountered her during their marital relations, he would still be dismissive.

She felt a profound sense of defeat.

Human nature is like this.

When a man falls in love with a woman, even knowing he is not good enough for her, he still fantasizes about having her body, even if it's just for a short time, even if he has to resort to shameless means.

Given Yang Xiao's aloof and arrogant nature, the fact that he would rape Ji Xiaofu speaks volumes.

Many crimes of rape stem from this very mentality.

Women are slightly different.

They may have a crush on a man, but for various reasons they can't have him, yet they still hope that he will be infatuated with them.

Only in this way will she feel that she has enough value.

Although I cannot stay with her for life, it is not because I am incapable, but due to objective factors, not because of my subjective will.

Of course, men do the same thing!
For example, breaking a promise is another example of saying something but not doing it. For instance, you once told your ex-girlfriend that you would only love her for the rest of your life and that you would treat her well, but in the end, you broke up with her.

This is a form of breaking a promise, yet they insist on finding an excuse for themselves, citing some objective factor or something like that.

Little do you know, even if there are objective factors on the other party's part, have you fulfilled your own promises?
This is the fundamental point!
If you could truly fulfill all your promises, it's impossible for the other person to still break up with you.

Because which man doesn't initially shower a woman with flowery words and grand promises, only to break them in the end?

Such people think they've done nothing wrong, unaware that this is the greatest hypocrisy. Is it so hard to admit you've made mistakes?
Zhou Zhiruo was always two-faced, and she thought Yun Changkong was the same way, only putting on an act because of Zhao Min. Only today did she realize that she truly meant nothing to him.

The fact that Yun Changkong dared to carry Granny Jin Hua into Zhao Min's room instead of carrying himself meant it wasn't because of Zhao Min.

At this moment, she truly admitted defeat.

As soon as Yun Changkong entered the boudoir, the Purple-Robed Dragon King whispered, "Let me go! What kind of behavior is this? If people find out, how am I supposed to live?"

Although she was already a wife, her voice at this moment was like a dream, captivating and moving, quite different from her usual clear and melodious voice when she was the Purple-Robed Dragon King.

Yun Changkong said in a low voice, "There are no outsiders here, only family. You don't need to hide anymore."

Zhao Min said with a coquettish smile, "Island Master Yun, if you want three people to sleep together, why not think about four?"

Yun Changkong chuckled and said, "Four people? Who else is there?"

The Purple-Robed Dragon King retorted angrily, "Who else are you thinking about? That Miss Zhou is like this every day, how can we manage her? Are you suggesting we let her become a nun with Extinction and then we won't kill her?"

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "You on one side, and Minmin on the other. I, the island lord, will be in the middle, which will protect you two beauties, keep you warm, and have someone keep watch at the door. Isn't that great!"

Although he deliberately avoided the topic, his words were full of affection.

Hearing this, and being pulled so tightly, the Purple-Robed Dragon King had no choice but to obediently lie down and whisper, "Then go to sleep obediently and don't do anything reckless."

Yun Changkong readily agreed.

However, a man's words are deceitful, especially in the bedroom. Don't believe a single word he says about how he will or will not do something.

Fortunately, it was dark at the time, and no candles were lit. The two beautiful women pretended to be confused and let our hero Yun do whatever he wanted.

Zhao Min was already exhausted from the war, but with the addition of the Purple-Robed Dragon King as a fresh force, their momentum was truly formidable.

Yun Changkong's acquisition of the "Arhat Subduing Demon Skill" was a gift from heaven. It should be noted that although this skill was created by a Shaolin monk, it was a culmination of Buddhist internal martial arts.

Tantric Buddhism includes the practice of "joyful meditation."

They believe that men and women are the fundamental driving force of the universe, and are the concentrated expression of wisdom and power. Therefore, they seek spiritual liberation, supreme happiness, and even longevity through dual cultivation.

The Arhat Subduing Demons Technique lacks cultivation methods for the two meridians, which means it is missing relevant cultivation methods. Unfortunately, once the other meridians are cultivated, the internal energy will naturally follow.

Therefore, even when Yun Changkong was attacked repeatedly in the boudoir, he was still at ease. He felt that his body was filled with energy, which was getting stronger and stronger, and the momentum was rising wave after wave without any sign of weakening, causing chaos and upheaval.

Zhao Min and the Purple-Robed Dragon King were overjoyed, unable to distinguish whether their souls were Yun Changkong's or Yun Changkong was themselves. Such feelings were truly indescribable to outsiders.

The night was radiant, and Yun Changkong finally got what he wanted. But there was one flaw: everything was shrouded in darkness.

Yun Changkong was well aware of the beauty of a woman under the lamplight, and that the more he looked, the more beautiful she became. However, he knew that this had to be done step by step.

After all, once the defense line is breached, it's not difficult to breach it again and again.

The next morning, Zhao Min woke up from her dream. A ray of dawn shone in, and she saw the Purple-Robed Dragon King's long black hair cascading down Yun Changkong's chest like a waterfall. In that instant, she took in his beautiful figure, which made her eyes light up.

The Purple-Robed Dragon King's body was like a piece of fine jade, his skin translucent and crystal clear under the sunlight. He was beautiful in every way. Even a beauty like Zhao Min couldn't help but swallow. She couldn't help but touch it with her hand. It was smooth and elastic, delicate and soft.

She suddenly understood why Yun Changkong couldn't bear to part with this woman.

The Purple-Robed Dragon King's beauty is no less than that of any stunning beauty, and she also possesses extraordinary internal and external martial arts skills, which makes her truly exceptional. Whether it's her figure or her charm, she is unmatched by Zhao Min.

After all, she's only nineteen years old.

At this moment, the Purple-Robed Dragon King also woke up, his eyes looking at Zhao Min, who was also incredibly beautiful.

Looking again at Yun Changkong, who was sleeping soundly, all the events of the previous night came to mind. His face flushed, and he hurriedly dressed and drifted away.

After she left, Yun Changkong woke up and saw that her whereabouts were nowhere to be seen. He was filled with regret, but also with a sense of longing.

Zhao Min and he got up early, took a bath, and went for a stroll outside the house.

As the sunlight shone down from the east, the two felt the air filled with the fragrance of leaves, and their internal organs felt refreshed.

Peach Blossom Island is lush with vegetation and has many springs. The spring water is sweet and warm, and it gathers into streams that nourish the plants on the entire island. So even if no one has lived here for a hundred years, the buildings here will not decay. It is truly a place to die.

Zhao Min said, "Zhou Zhiruo, what exactly are you planning to do? Why don't you wait until Abbess Miejue arrives and let her clean up the mess?"

Yun Changkong said, "Are you going to tell her about telling Zhang Wuji what Abbess Miejue said?"

Zhao Min nodded and said, "What Abbess Miejue said to her was a private matter that could not be heard by a third party. She told Zhang Wuji, which is an act of betraying her sect. If Abbess Miejue knew, how could she forgive her? Are you reluctant to part with her, so you want to keep her here?"

Yun Changkong's heart pounded wildly as he said, "It's not that I'm reluctant, it's just that she hasn't harmed us. If we were to take her life, I would feel terrible!"

Zhao Min snorted coldly: "You're so chivalrous, aren't you? If she wants to harm us, is it too late? Have you forgotten how that Yang guy treated us?"

Yun Changkong's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "This Ten Fragrance Softening Powder is too powerful. We have to hide it and not keep it on our person."

Zhao Min nodded in agreement.

After the two returned to their room and had breakfast, they suddenly heard a long howl. The sound was neither loud nor soft, neither fast nor slow, but it seemed to be ringing in Yun Changkong and Zhao Min's ears. Both of them knew: "Abbess Miejue has arrived."

Yun Changkong said, "Xiao Zhao, let's go out and greet them."

Xiao Zhao pulled Zhou Zhiruo along and used her light-footed skills to leap over.

The four emerged from the woods and saw a large ship moored on the shore, with a group of nuns and women surrounding a tall nun.

In the morning light, it was clearly visible that it was Abbess Miejue.

Zhou Zhiruo beamed and said, "Master, you've come!" She hurriedly went to greet her.

Yun Changkong, Zhao Min, and Xiao Zhao were all taken aback.

The Abbess Miejue they used to see was extremely beautiful and had a dignified and aloof demeanor, but now she was hunched over, with strands of white hair peeking out from under her monk's hat, as if she had aged twenty years in an instant.

Abbess Miejue glanced at Zhou Zhiruo and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Her voice was no longer crisp and powerful, but had become desolate and slow.

Zhou Zhiruo knelt down and said, "Master, your disciple is unworthy, please punish me!"

Ding Minjun said crisply, "Junior Sister Zhou, Master asked you why you are here. What punishment do you want her to give you?"

She kept making things difficult for Zhou Zhiruo, which greatly displeased Yun Changkong. He said, "Master, there is something important to discuss inside!"

Abbess Miejue said, "Wait for me here!"

"Yes!" the disciples replied.

Abbess Miejue pulled Zhou Zhiruo up and followed Yun Changkong and the others into the island. They arrived at a private room and sat down.

Abbess Miejue asked, "In your letter you said that this old nun wanted to fulfill her wish and invited my maternal grandfather's family. What was your intention?"

Yun Changkong sent a message, naturally not mentioning the Dragon-Slaying Saber or the Nine Yin Manual, but only saying that the nun wanted to fulfill her long-cherished wish and invited her maternal grandfather's family.

Yun Changkong asked, "Master, which sect do you think has the greatest influence in the martial arts world today?"

Abbess Miejue said, "Then naturally Shaolin Temple is the first choice, followed by Wudang Sect."

Yun Changkong asked, "What do you think they have to rely on?"

Abbess Miejue slowly said, "Shaolin Temple relies on the Yi Jin Jing, which has been passed down for thousands of years, and the Seventy-Two Arts, while Wudang Sect relies on Zhang Sanfeng, an unparalleled martial arts grandmaster, making them invincible in the world!"

Yun Changkong smiled and said, "You think it's just about martial arts?"

Abbess Miejue asked, "Is there anything else?"

Yun Changkong said with a disappointed look, "Since that's the case, you can take this knife. Take out the map inside, obtain the Nine Yin Manual, and let me see how the number one sect in the world is created!"

With that, he waved his hand, and with a whoosh, a large sword was stuck in front of Abbess Miejue's feet.
