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

Chapter 151 Like a Flower Understanding Words, the King of the East Sea

After Xiao Zhao defeated Yun Changkong, she felt extremely guilty, realizing she had no right to do so and deeply regretting her rashness.

He was speechless at Yun Changkong's words, his body swayed, his eyes rolled back, and he fell backward.

Without any visible movement from Yun Changkong, his figure floated gracefully, and before Xiao Zhao could fall to the ground, he had already caught her.

Seeing the tears welling up in her eyes, Yun Changkong felt even more guilty.

He had plenty of ways to deal with Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, and even the woman in yellow, but he didn't know what to do when facing Xiao Zhao.

At this moment, Zhou Zhiruo walked over and said softly, "This girl is truly suffering more than I am."

Yun Changkong sighed, "It's all my fault, but you've changed so much. I'm so happy that you can empathize with others."

Zhou Zhiruo said, "Am I really that bad in your eyes? But, Hero Yun, you've recruited Xiao Zhao, you're going to suffer in the future, and I'm so happy about that!"

She used to wallow in self-pity, feeling that she had suffered so much because of Yun Changkong. But now that she has shared a sexual relationship with him and experienced a wonderful feeling she had never known before, she has resolved her inner conflicts and naturally developed compassion.

Xiao Zhao, in particular, is beautiful but unrequited in love, which is similar to her own past. So she forgets that Xiao Zhao is actually her rival in love.

Upon hearing Zhou Zhiruo's words, Yun Changkong thought to himself, "What's wrong with this woman? Has she changed so much?" Thinking that she would be his wife in the future, and recalling how he used to always think about her shortcomings, he felt quite embarrassed.

In fact, Yun Changkong knew that no one is perfect, and he himself was neither a great hero nor a moral exemplar. On the contrary, he was a disgrace to the martial arts world, yet he always thought about how bad others were. He couldn't help but feel guilty towards Zhou Zhiruo and said, "Zhiruo, I was prejudiced before, and I really didn't deserve your forgiveness."

Zhou Zhiruo shook her head and sighed, "Actually, this is indeed due to my personality. If I could be like Zhao Min and tell you my feelings without reservation, perhaps you wouldn't think of me that way, and I wouldn't have gone through all these hardships. It's all fate, and I can't blame anyone. Fortunately, now, after experiencing many difficulties, the harvest is even sweeter, and I've realized it."

Despite her many flaws and self-centeredness, Zhou Zhiruo also possessed the genuine feelings of a young girl.

Even though she was resentful and unwilling to accept her union with Yun Changkong today, and Yun Changkong also intended to take advantage of her vulnerability, how could she resist the true feelings of human nature?

After all, sexual intimacy is always the best way to reach a woman's heart.

Not to mention Yun Changkong, who possesses the power of salvation.

Once a woman sleeps with him, she will fantasize about it countless times.

The effect is terrifying!
When Yun Changkong heard Zhou Zhiruo say these words, he was genuinely surprised. This was a true awakening of her true nature. He sighed and said, "Girls are naturally reserved, and you are beautiful, like a fairy in the clouds. I am just a mortal, how could I be worthy of your honest words?"

Alas, after years of wandering the world, I have achieved nothing of note, except for encountering wonderful women like you. Only then can I truly boast of my journey!

Hearing his earnest words, Zhou Zhiruo was deeply moved and felt a pang of sadness, on the verge of tears. With reddened eyes, she said, "That's because you're a good person."

The sunlight shone from the east, illuminating Zhou Zhiruo's left cheek, making her face appear rosy, beautiful, and lovely.

Yun Changkong reached out and took her hand, saying softly, "It's not that I'm doing well, it's that you're all doing well, that's why we can be together."

"Is everything really alright?"

Yun Changkong looked down and saw that Xiao Zhao had woken up, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, full of expectation and encouragement.

Yun Changkong felt as if he had bitten a hedgehog, unable to swallow it or spit it out, extremely uncomfortable.

Zhou Zhiruo said softly, "Xiao Zhao, we all know what you're thinking, but you also know that he has his own unavoidable difficulties."

Looking at the two of them, Xiao Zhao's eyes welled up with tears, and she suddenly burst into sobs. They had both gotten what they wanted, while she was all alone. Overwhelmed with sorrow, Xiao Zhao burst into tears.

Yun Changkong listened to her tearful complaints and felt sorry for her, but he didn't know how to comfort her, so he looked at Zhou Zhiruo.

Zhou Zhiruo, perceptive as ever, knew he wanted to ask for help. A smile appeared on her lips as she said, "Miss Xiao Zhao, I know you're feeling bad. I have too."

Her words made Xiao Zhao cry even harder.

Zhou Zhiruo held her hand in one hand and brushed the hair from her forehead with the other, saying softly, "Good girl, what can we do if you cry here because you're sad? Come with me first."

Xiao Zhao looked at her, stood up, and slowly followed Zhou Zhiruo away.

Zhou Zhiruo was incredibly intelligent and perceptive; she knew exactly what Yun Changkong and Xiao Zhao were thinking. However, she wanted to use a thread of affection to bind Yun Changkong, firmly tie him down, and also compete with Zhao Min. Therefore, appeasing Xiao Zhao was her first priority.

Yun Changkong sighed inwardly, "Alas, I hope she can find a way to dispel this girl's infatuation."

But his mind was already preoccupied with worries, especially now that things were so complicated. He still had to deal with Zhao Min, so he'd leave Xiao Zhao's matter to Zhou Zhiruo. The two of them had something in common.

Yun Changkong immediately returned to his residence, where Abbess Miejue, Zhao Min, and the Purple-Robed Dragon King were studying the Nine Yin Manual together.

Seeing that he was alone, Abbess Miejue frowned and asked, "Where is Zhiruo?"

Yun Changkong looked at the girls, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Minmin, Abbess, Sister Long, I..." He had been walking back with a lot of things to say, but when he saw the three of them, he didn't know what to say.

The three of them are of different statuses. If it were just Zhao Min and the Purple-Robed Dragon King, it would be easy to be honest. But Abbess Miejue is Zhou Zhiruo's master. If she told the truth, wouldn't it be like saying, "I went out for a while and slept with your disciple"? Abbess Miejue would definitely say, "What do you take my disciple for?"
But his hesitant manner made the three women almost certain that Yun Changkong had done something to betray them!

That's human nature, especially for those in high positions, especially women, and especially arrogant women.
Once you have an idea, you'll stubbornly believe in it, regardless of whether it's correct or not.

Abbess Miejue and Zhao Min are examples of this, and naturally they have this mentality.

Logically speaking, the only plausible explanation for why someone like Yun Changkong, who doesn't care about his reputation, wouldn't dare to say such a thing is this.

Zhao Min said, "Come with me!" and took his hand.

"Oh!" Yun Changkong followed Zhao Min closely, like a child who had made a mistake.

The two walked hand in hand into Zhao Min's room. To the left was a large screen, and a small table was placed in the center. To the right of the bed was a dressing table, which was full of cosmetics and other women's items.

Zhao Min said, "Brother Changkong, do you remember? I said I wanted to add another person to our family, didn't I?" As she said this, her eyes were smiling, which made her already beautiful face even more radiant.

Yun Changkong pulled her into his arms and said, "Minmin, just as you said, I couldn't control myself for a moment."

"Fine!" Zhao Min raised an eyebrow, instantly consumed by jealousy. In her excitement, she pounded Yun Changkong's chest with her fists, sobbing and crying as she cried out, "I was just saying that! How dare you? You couldn't even control yourself? Is she really that good?"

Seeing her with tears streaming down her face, Yun Changkong felt both pity and love; but on the other hand, he also felt ashamed and guilty, and sighed, "Wife, you know, I'm always soft-hearted when it comes to beautiful women, just like you were back then."

As you know, if a person experiences too many bad things, their mental strength will inevitably weaken, and no matter how high their martial arts skills, they will not live long. Just like the Ancient Tomb Master of the past.

Yun Changkong had told Zhao Min the story of Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying, and then told Zhao Min everything about his relationship with Zhou Zhiruo, including how Xiao Zhao found out.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Min chuckled, then put on a stern face and said, "I can not be angry, but you must promise me one thing."

Yun Changkong was taken aback. Seeing her pale face, he quickly said, "I would agree to ten, let alone one."

He remembered the original plot where she made Zhang Wuji agree to three things, and that's when he was momentarily lost in thought.

Zhao Min laughed and said, "You agreed so quickly without even asking me what it was about. Are you trying to coax me, or are you not afraid that I'll ask you to do something that violates the code of chivalry and harms the nation?"

Seeing her smiling face, Yun Changkong felt relieved and quickly said, "My dear wife, you're so amazing, how could I dare to flatter you! As for chivalry and matters of national importance, since I've married you, it would be hypocritical for me to talk about these things! I'm not that noble, nor that shameless!"

Zhao Min laughed and said, "My dear Yun-ge, after hearing this, I forgive you." She then hugged Yun Changkong around the waist.

Yun Changkong was somewhat surprised and asked in astonishment, "Really? You're really not angry anymore?"

Zhao Min said, "Actually, when we were together, it was easy to imagine Zhou Zhiruo's loneliness. In her distress, she also hated us. Originally, we could have just killed her. Alas, but I know you couldn't bear to kill her."

To keep her on the same island for five years—ultimately, it would either be love or hate. The reason I made the agreement with her was really to test her feelings.

She was naturally broad-minded, and Yun Changkong was her favorite, so after a period of inner conflict and struggle, she finally accepted it.

Yun Changkong said, "What kind of intentions can this reveal?"

Zhao Min rolled her eyes at him and said reproachfully, "So there are things you don't know? I'm not telling you!"

Yun Changkong thought to himself, "I don't know, isn't that normal?" But many men don't understand why girls like to inexplicably compete with their crushes!
I don't understand it at all; it's irrelevant to reason.

Fortunately, Yun Changkong understood and said, "In this world, besides my wonderful wife Minmin, there is no one else with such a broad mind!"

Zhao Min twisted her body, pouting and saying, "Don't try to sweet-talk me. What if I don't let Zhou Zhiruo be with you?"

Yun Changkong looked troubled, and finally sighed, "Then I'll just have to be a hypocrite who starts something and then abandons it, taking advantage of you and then denying everything..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Min pressed her hand to his mouth and said gently, "Brother Changkong, even I was smitten when I saw Zhou Zhiruo, let alone you."
Besides, she was the rightful daughter-in-law of your Yun family. You disregarded your parents' wishes and the matchmaker's words, and even defied your father-in-law for my sake. But now that he's gone, you haven't even gone back to pay respects at his grave or bring Zhou Zhiruo into the family, fulfilling one of his wishes. That would be my small way of showing filial piety as his daughter-in-law!

Her eyes were bright and full of tenderness, and her voice was sincere, without the slightest hint of pretense or cunning.

Yun Changkong knew all too well that a girl's heart was always the hardest to fathom.

But they have a strong possessiveness for the things they love, and they don’t allow anyone to share even a little bit with them. However, after hearing Zhao Min’s words, Yun Changkong felt a mix of emotions. Countless memories flooded his mind, a mixture of sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy, but more than anything, he felt an indescribable sense of guilt.

He stared at Zhao Min, his eyes welling up with tears, and slowly said, "Minmin, I never thought I would meet you, but I did."

I never imagined I would be with you, but I know how difficult it was to meet you. It would be such a pity to miss out, and I didn't want to have any regrets, so I married you.

I can't express how good you are to me now.

All I know is that you are an unexpected encounter, and a sudden and unexpected love. Having you in my life is the greatest happiness in my vast world.

To be honest, Yun Changkong didn't care much about matters of the heart, and he didn't have any strong desire to have Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, or Xiao Zhao.

Deep down, the woman in yellow was the woman he longed for most, but as things unfolded, all sorts of wonderful girls appeared before him.

His feelings were extremely complicated. Zhao Min gradually became the love of his heart, while Zhou Zhiruo, the Purple-Robed Dragon King, also became two unforgettable women in his life. But this was extremely unfair to Zhao Min!
These are his sincere and heartfelt words!

Zhao Min naturally sensed it, and tears welled up in her eyes. She pulled him towards the dressing table, picked up an eyebrow pencil, and said, "You make it sound so nice, but my eyebrows are a bit light. Can you draw them for me and let me see?"

Yun Changkong couldn't help but feel embarrassed and said, "Minmei, you are as beautiful as a fairy, but I have never drawn eyebrows for anyone before. If I draw them for you and they don't look good, you can't blame me!"

Zhao Min laughed and said, "If you've painted someone else's portrait, I won't let you paint it. Your martial arts skills are so high, I'll tell you what to do."

“Okay!” Yun Changkong looked at the eyebrow pencil from left to right, and Zhao Min pointed out where it should be thicker and where it should be thinner.

Yun Changkong was exceptionally intelligent and immediately understood where the roundness should be and how to make it more three-dimensional. It sounded difficult, but his skill was extraordinary. He could control the pressure and speed of his hands at will and immediately drew one for Zhao Min as she had instructed.

Zhao Min looked in the mirror and said with great satisfaction, "You are indeed a capable person. This doesn't seem like your first time. Draw another one. It's settled then, from now on you are the only one allowed to draw for me."

Yun Changkong said, "Okay, from now on I'll only draw for you every day."

Suddenly, a soft chuckle was heard outside the window, and someone said, "Brother Changkong, my eyebrows are a bit light too, will you draw them for me?"

The voice was clear, gentle, and charming, and along with this exquisitely beautiful voice appeared a graceful and slender figure.

Yun Changkong and Zhao Min's eyes lit up as Zhou Zhiruo appeared in the room with a half-smile.

At this moment, she wore her hair in a high bun, dressed in green, with delicately drawn eyebrows, looking elegant and refined. As she moved, her jade pendants jingled and shone brightly.

In terms of appearance alone, Zhou Zhiruo cannot compare to Zhao Min's beauty, but her melancholic temperament makes her exceptionally captivating.

At this moment, her eyes held an arrogant and confident look, far surpassing what they had shown the day before.

For a moment, Zhao Min was stunned.

Yun Changkong was tempted, but quickly regained his composure and asked, "Zhiruo, how is Xiao Zhao?"

Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said, "Watching you two being so affectionate, besides feeling a little uncomfortable, I can also hate you..."

Zhao Min parted her lips slightly: "You can still fight me to a draw, but Xiao Zhao is in a terrible situation. She's always been all alone. Maybe you sisters will even become sworn sisters and start plotting against me!"

She was a noblewoman from Mongolia, passionate and outspoken, laughing when she wanted to laugh and crying when she wanted to cry, without any affectation or reservations.

Zhou Zhiruo said softly, "Are you afraid? If you ask me for help, I will definitely help you as long as it is within my power."

Not only were her words kind, but her voice was also so sweet.

Yun Changkong, however, felt something was amiss, thinking, "They even stole the thrush, and then they said they were asking me for help..."

Zhao Min burst into laughter.

This series of charming laughs brought Yun Changkong back to reality from his daze. He took Zhao Min's hand.

A sweet feeling welled up in Zhao Min's heart, and she stood up.

Zhou Zhiruo saw Zhao Min's hand being held in Yun Changkong's hand, and a pang of jealousy rose in her heart. She found it rather amusing: "Why am I so unsuccessful?"

Yun Changkong led Zhao Min to Zhou Zhiruo, then took Zhou Zhiruo's hand and clasped the two women's hands together, saying, "You two, from now on, be a pair of loving sisters. Even if I die, I will have no regrets."

Zhou Zhiruo's face turned even redder, and she said shyly, "You, you're talking nonsense..." She stopped speaking.

Zhao Min winked at her and said with a coquettish smile, "Yes, he's been dreaming of having two women on each side for a long time. He's managed to trick us all!"

Zhou Zhiruo fidgeted uncomfortably, yet she felt a surge of affection for this adversary she had always considered an enemy, saying, "What can I do? In the end, I'm still influenced by you." Yun Changkong smiled as he watched his two wives teasing each other, adding a touch of peace to the already sweet atmosphere of the room.

But is there still peace behind the tranquility?
I'm afraid nobody knows.

Anyway, Yun Changkong felt happy.

The next day, the group got up early to discuss sending out the military treatise and their personal futures.

Zhou Zhiruo said, "This military strategy can be given to the Ming Cult, but Master, you might as well take the Nine Yin Manual back to Emei."

The Purple-Robed Dragon King strongly objected, saying, "This skill is too powerful. If the Nine Yin White Bone Claw and White Python Whip, which are quick-to-learn martial arts, were to fall into the hands of someone with a bloodthirsty nature, wouldn't that be a terrible sin?"

Knowing about the entanglement between the Purple-Robed Dragon King and Abbess Miejue, Zhao Min, seeing Yun Changkong remain silent, asked, "Husband, what are you thinking about?"

Yun Changkong carefully observed the expressions on everyone's faces and slowly recounted: "Back then, Lady Guo was a prodigy. She not only received guidance from the Quanzhen Sect, the Guo couple, and Master Yang, but also from the Tantric Dharma King. Her martial arts skills were extremely profound, yet she did not obtain the Nine Yin Manual."

He paused for a moment and said, "The reason why the Nine Yin Manual is hailed as the general outline of martial arts and can surpass Shaolin Temple is because this book has seized the creation of heaven and earth. It not only has miraculous internal energy cultivation methods, but also covers all aspects of martial arts, including fist and foot techniques, weapons, acupoint striking, mental strength, and lightness skills. This small book will be of great use to any martial arts practitioner who obtains it."

Just as everyone was getting to the exciting part, he suddenly stopped, gave Abbess Miejue a deep look, and said, "Actually, this book not only contains the secrets of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, but there are also people who know this martial art!"

Abbess Miejue's pupils contracted slightly, but quickly returned to normal: "Who else can do that?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Min immediately tensed her hands.

Yun Changkong quickly reached out and grasped Zhao Min's hand, only to find it slippery and wet. It turned out Zhao Min's hands were sweaty, making her already exceptionally delicate and soft hands even more smooth.

Yun Changkong continued, "Back then, Master Yang and his wife went into seclusion, but Master Guo and his wife used his Xuan Tie sword to forge weapons, which must have been a way of entrusting him with something. Now their descendants are still alive and know the martial arts from the Nine Yin Manual, alas..."

He stopped, and Zhao Min changed the subject, saying, "She once approached Brother Yun and said that if the Nine Yin Manual fell into the hands of the Emei Sect, it would probably bring disaster upon herself. However, because her ancestor seemed to be related to your sect's founder... she couldn't tell you, so she asked my husband for help."

When Zhao Min talked about the woman in yellow, there was still a hint of bitterness in her voice, as if she had not yet recovered from the blow she suffered in the past.

Yun Changkong smiled helplessly and continued, "Actually, quite a few people know about the martial arts in the Nine Yin Manual, at least many people do now."

The room fell silent. After a short while, Abbess Miejue nodded and said, "I understand. If our sect were to practice the martial arts from the Nine Yin Manual, and if it were discovered, it would attract the covetous eyes of heroes from all over the world, which would only bring disaster to the sect."

She naturally understood that the Shaolin Temple was often robbed of its martial arts manuals, but that was because the Seventy-Two Arts were not all in one book, while the Nine Yin Manual was.

In the original story, the Xuanming Elders had already targeted Zhou Zhiruo. If Zhang Wuji hadn't saved her, she would have been in dire straits if she had fallen into Lu Zhangke's hands. She would definitely have suffered far more than just losing her martial arts manual.

Then Zhou Zhiruo said, "Master, why don't you make a copy of the Nine Yin Manual and hide it in a little-known place on Mount Emei?"

We could find a few kind-hearted senior sisters to secretly teach us some martial arts, and after a few years, let us accumulate strength. If someone in our sect is destined to master this divine skill, that would be a good thing.”

Abbess Miejue laughed and said, "This method is excellent; it guarantees complete safety!"

Yun Changkong said, "Then let me take the Wumu Legacy to Zhang Wuji and give it to him. Then I will restore the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber."

Abbess Miejue said, "You shouldn't go. Let one of my disciples go. I only hope that you take good care of Zhiruo and don't wrong her."

"Master!" Zhou Zhiruo's voice trembled.

Zhao Min smiled and said, "No need for you to trouble yourself, Master!"

Yun Changkong smiled, knowing that Abbess Miejue knew about his affair with Zhou Zhiruo.

Abbess Miejue got up to copy the Nine Yin Manual.

The next day, Yun Changkong, along with Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, and Xiao Zhao, escorted Abbess Miejue off the island.

Abbess Miejue glanced at everyone, sighed softly, and suddenly waved her hand before boarding the ship and leaving.

"Master, take care!" Zhou Zhiruo waved to her master, tears streaming down her face. Yun Changkong bowed respectfully.

The anchor is raised, the sails are billowing, and the ship sails into the distance.

Yun Changkong looked at Zhou Zhiruo, her face streaked with tears, and Zhao Min, charming and alluring. He loved her more and more the more he looked at her. He chuckled and asked, "Which sister will this island master be accompanying tonight?"

Zhou Zhiruo, who was still grieving the loss, spat out, "You're so irresponsible!"

Zhao Min said, "Go find your real wife."

Yun Changkong said with a fierce expression, "Fine, so now that we're sisters, you're all going against me? Fine, I'll go find Sister Long then!"

"No!" The two women grabbed his sleeves at the same time.

Yun Changkong laughed heartily, put his arm around one of them, kissed each of them on the cheek, and said with a smile, "You two sisters both asked me who is more beautiful. Today I'm going to take a good look and give you an answer!"

The two women immediately understood her meaning. Zhou Zhiruo blushed to her ears and said shyly, "Don't just think about nice things. I heard you wrote a poem for Zhao Min, and I want one too."

Zhao Min clapped her hands and laughed, "That's right, that's right, always thinking good things. Let's make things difficult for him."

Yun Changkong laughed heartily and walked towards the island, saying, "Can you stump me?"

The verdant green exudes a transcendent beauty, and her fair wrists, like frost, surpass even the finest jade.

A poisonous oath burns the heart, binding the dark brows, all for the sake of Emei's illustrious name.

My feelings for you are unsettled, and I hate you, but a sudden change in the dark night makes my heart flutter.

Even if one achieves unparalleled success, what good is it if one's heart is still filled with resentment?

Even a doggerel made Zhou Zhiruo smile, because Yun Changkong's spontaneous recitation showed that he had always been thinking about her, how could she not be happy?
If someone else read it, Zhou Zhiruo would naturally look down on it, but Yun Changkong is a different story.

A person like him, even if he writes nonsensical or crooked poetry, is still better than Li Bai and Du Fu.

This is due to her status; nothing else matters.

Only Xiao Zhao stood to one side, looking dejected.

As soon as Yun Changkong returned to the room, he embraced the two women. He was constantly busy, kissing one's lips, then the other's cheek, his hands roaming freely, savoring the differences between the two women.
The beauty of the two women was absolutely a gift from heaven. They both had graceful figures, smooth and delicate skin without any flaws, and their slender waists and straight legs were like jade carvings, which were captivating.

But her feet were soft and smooth like cotton, with slender, closely spaced toes that were as tender, white, and smooth as silkworms.

Because Zhao Min is Mongolian, her body has rounded and soft curves; Zhou Zhiruo is thin but not bony, yet she is also slender and well-proportioned, with curves, firmness, and a perfect figure.

He looked around at the clouds, admiring them with obvious delight.

Zhou Zhiruo, in particular, was gentle in nature, yet after marriage she was quite passionate in her bedroom. This made Yun Changkong firmly believe that there was no woman he couldn't conquer.

No, it just means that your ability is still lacking.

As for the Purple-Robed Dragon King Dai Qisi, she was in her forties, the prime of her life. Having lost her husband early in life, she had become indifferent to lust. In the years she had traveled the martial world, and after becoming the Golden Flower Granny, nothing and no one could arouse her lust.

The clouds and sky may stretch endlessly, but everything has changed.

Especially on Peach Blossom Island, where there were no outsiders, she shed all pretense, and both her body and temperament gradually underwent some changes.

She was like an erupting volcano, determined to fill the emptiness and loneliness of the past ten years of living alone with clouds in the sky.

Her mature charm surpasses that of Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo, and neither of the two women can be as uninhibited as she is.

That technique not only sent Yun Changkong's soul flying, but also made the two women blush with embarrassment. Could it really be used like that?

The saying "happy times pass quickly" couldn't be more fitting for Yun Changkong.

He played the zither and flute with several women, practiced martial arts, and was busy and happy all day long.

You should know that Yun Changkong's Arhat Subduing Demon Skill is the most exquisite internal skill in Shaolin. What does exquisite mean? It means that the true energy in the whole body can be controlled at will, the body can move with the mind, and there is nothing that can be done. It can move left, right, high, or low as desired, and there is no problem in circulating it to any part of the body.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to handle three beautiful women who have become addicted to the taste of love!

For example, Zhao Min likes to ask, "Who is more beautiful?"

She was passionate and unrestrained, and at this moment she knew no shame. To be fair, Yun Changkong was beautiful, pure, and elegant, each with her own strengths, making it difficult to distinguish who was superior. Therefore, he could only express his feelings through his actions.

These three women are not only stunning beauties, but each one is also fiercely competitive. How could they not argue about who is the most beautiful in their boudoirs?

The most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, even Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo wouldn't be convinced!
Yun Changkong couldn't say who was more beautiful, but whoever asked would receive special treatment.

From then on, Yun Changkong enjoyed boundless tenderness, lingering affection, fragrant cheeks and cloud-like hair, and great pleasures. Whether by the sea, in the woods, or in his boudoir, their love was always like dry wood meeting a raging fire.

Yun Changkong loved Zhao Min the most. Zhao Min was born in Mongolia and, influenced by her upbringing, had very little regard for etiquette and seniority. Naturally, her actions were somewhat wicked. Yun Changkong was even less of a gentleman.

Therefore, the two loved each other the most, but every time they wanted to be alone, Zhou Zhiruo would always appear on time and say, "Brother Changkong, I haven't bothered you, have I?"

In the past, this would have been extremely disappointing.

But now it's different, the excitement...

Therefore, Yun Changkong usually comes with Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo together.

However, when Zhou Zhiruo and Yun Changkong were alone, they would be disturbed by Zhao Min, and the Purple-Robed Dragon King would sometimes join in out of dissatisfaction.

So for two whole months, Yun Changkong truly enjoyed the company of three women. He had them by his side, chatting, drinking, practicing martial arts, and listening to music. The joy was indescribable, and those days were both fulfilling and happy. Not to mention his addiction to being an island lord, he wouldn't trade it for even being an emperor or a celestial being.

But Xiao Zhao, who was also on the island, was the opposite. Before, she had Zhou Zhiruo to share her sorrow, loneliness, and solitude, giving her a good companion. But now, she had to bear all the sorrow alone.

She was so beautiful, but there was always a faint sorrow between her brows.

That day, as she gazed at the sea, she sang softly: "Unfurl your brows, cease your idle quarrels. Today's face is older than yesterday's. This has been true throughout history, for the wise and the foolish, the poor and the rich alike."

In the end, none can escape that day. A moment of enjoyment, a fleeting advantage. Of a hundred years, few live to seventy. Time flies swiftly, like a rushing river.

Suddenly, a familiar and warm voice called out from behind: "Xiao Zhao!"

Xiao Zhao did not turn around.

After a while,

"Xiao Zhao, although we are not in a romantic relationship, I do not dislike you. But the ending of the story is so unsatisfactory. Perhaps neither of us is wrong, but the order in which people appear in our lives really matters."

It's not that you're not good enough, nor that I don't like you; it's just that the timing wasn't right. Perhaps if we had met at a different time, we would have been a perfect match.

I want to tell you that no matter how estranged we become in the future, even if we eventually part ways, I don't want to let down the time we met.

I hope you feel the same way, that you never regret knowing me, and that you were truly happy.

If I could turn back time, I would definitely choose not to have met you. But this isn't because I regret it; it's because I can't face this ending!

Xiao Zhao slowly turned around and said, "I don't want to hear this."

Yun Changkong asked, "What do you want to hear?"

Xiao Zhao said, "I'm the only one here who hasn't received a poem. That's not fair."

Yun Changkong laughed heartily: "What's so difficult about that?"

"Her fair wrists and icy skin reflect the blue waves, her blue eyes and dimples surpass even those of a fairy."

Once the worldly adornments are shed, the spring on the summit of Bright Peak is shattered.

I do not seek to outdo others in beauty or splendor, but am content to serve as a maidservant on your journey.

Gazing at the vast sea and sky, tears of longing well up; I still sing the carefree songs of yesteryear.

Xiao Zhao asked, "Have you thought about it for a long time?"

Yun Changkong said, "Yes! Because you are too beautiful."

Xiao Zhao's furrowed brows relaxed, and she smiled gently, truly as beautiful as jade.

Yun Changkong said, "You shouldn't frown anymore."

Xiao Zhao frowned slightly and said, "I'd rather frown!"

Yun Changkong smiled helplessly: "But when you're in the martial world, you really don't have a choice!"

Xiao Zhao's nose tingled, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced a smile, looked up at the few white clouds drifting lazily in the sky, and said softly, "Is there such a thing as a martial arts world here?"
