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

Ren Yingying had slept for quite a while, and was now much more awake. Seeing the stars in the sky and the moonlight reflecting on the water, she didn't know how long she had slept; it was already past midnight.

Just then, a cool breeze blew by, chilling her to the bone. Her beautiful eyes darted around and she saw Lan Fenghuang seemingly listening intently to something, while Yun Changkong stared intently at her.

Ren Yingying's face flushed, but she tried to remain calm. Just as she was about to ask a question, she heard footsteps on the hillside, mixed with whispers.

She held her breath and listened carefully. She could hear the footsteps of three people approaching from a distance, talking as they walked.

Upon hearing that voice, Ren Yingying's heart began to race inexplicably, and she dared not even breathe.

Why is this?

She recognized the three men as Huanghe Laozu and Ji Wushi. If they knew that she was with Yun Changkong, wouldn't it be incredibly embarrassing in the dead of night in this desolate wilderness?
As for Lan Fenghuang, she naturally ignored her, because the two of them were in a relationship, and all three of them knew that she was an outsider!
Ren Yingying was already beautiful, and after her injury, she exuded a delicate fragility. Her current shy demeanor made her appear even more graceful and refined.
Yun Changkong's heart skipped a beat as he watched, thinking to himself, "Damn it, Minmin is just as good as her in every way, but this shy demeanor is something Minmin doesn't have. If she asked me for anything right now, I probably wouldn't be able to resist the temptation!"

Just as he was pondering this, the three people had already reached the hillside and stopped.

The three men discovered several corpses at the Shaolin Temple.

Zu Qianqiu looked down and said, "This seems to be a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple."

The old man nodded: "That's right, this big-bellied guy is called Xin Guoliang, he's a real man."

Ji Wushi nudged Zu Qianqiu and said, "How did they all die here? These were top-notch Shaolin disciples!"

Zu Qianqiu said, "I'm also wondering who is so powerful that they killed three of the Shaolin Sect's best fighters here in one fell swoop."

The old man said, "In my opinion, this was done by people from Blackwood Cliff. It's possible that the Eastern Cult Leader himself came here."

Yun Changkong transmitted his voice, "You have no discernment. You didn't even know that our Miss Ren's talents are so amazing."

Although Lan Fenghuang didn't hear the sound, she saw his lips move slightly, his dark eyes darting across his face before landing on Ren Yingying's.

Ren Yingying's cheeks flushed red, and her heart pounded faster for no reason. As if her secret had been exposed, she felt even more ashamed.

Ji Wushi said, "Hmm, old man, now that you mention it, it does look quite like it. Let's bury this body so that the Shaolin Temple people won't find out."

Just as the two were about to make their move, Zu Qianqiu waved his hand and said, "Oh dear, if it really was someone from Blackwood Cliff who did it, they probably wouldn't be afraid of Shaolin Temple finding out. Maybe they left the body here as a show of force!"

“Oh dear,” the old man shook his head and said, “I say, Zu Qianqiu, if you really want to show off, why leave this corpse in this desolate night?”
If the three of us hadn't happened to pass by here, the corpse would have been eaten by wild animals and might never have been discovered.

If the Sun Moon Cult truly wanted to demonstrate its power, it should do what Yun Changkong did when he hung banners at the four gates of Luoyang, challenging Zuo Lengchan to a duel. They should hang the corpse in a major city, clearly stating it belonged to a Shaolin disciple. Only then would the Shaolin Cult lose face, and only such actions would be befit a great figure!

Zu Qianqiu nodded and said, "That's right. They were probably from Blackwood Cliff. After killing these three, they went to chase the enemy and didn't have time to bury the bodies."

As they spoke, the three of them sprang into action.

At that moment, Yun Changkong, Ren Yingying, and Lan Fenghuang were at the bottom of the hillside when they heard the sound of stones being thrown and soil being moved.

The three buried the body and sat down to rest. The old man said, "I have a problem right now, Night Owl, can you help me think of something?"

Ji Wushi asked, "What problem?"

The old man said, "The Holy Maiden has issued an order to tear Yun Changkong apart by five horses and cut him into a thousand pieces. We have received great kindness from her, so this matter must be done. But my old, immortal daughter was saved by Yun Changkong, who also taught her a set of miraculous martial arts. If I kill him, wouldn't that be unjust?"

Yun Changkong looked at Ren Yingying, and Ren Yingying glared at him fiercely.

Suddenly, Ji Wushi said, "You're overthinking it. Yun Changkong took your fishing net. What ability do you have to kill him?"

The old man said irritably, "Whether I can kill him or not is one thing. If I go and kill him, at worst he'll think I'm ungrateful and just kill me, so what?"

But I fear they'll ask me first, "I saved your daughter's life, why did you come to kill me?" If I don't answer, that would be unjust; if I do answer, wouldn't I be disloyal to the Holy Maiden?

Upon hearing this, both Zu Qianqiu and Ji Wushi fell silent.

After a long pause, Ji Wushi said, "Actually, the most difficult part of this matter is not this!"

"what is that?"

Ji Wushi whispered, "The news of this gathering at Wubagang will soon spread throughout the martial arts world. What do you think Yun Changkong will think when he hears about it?"

“Yes.” Zu Qianqiu clapped his hands and said, “Everyone knows why we gathered at Wubagang. Although Young Master Linghu is a dashing and chivalrous man, and a hero, he is far inferior to Yun Changkong.”

“Yes, look.” Ji Wushi said in a low voice, “That Yun Changkong is a handsome man with unparalleled martial arts skills. His character and aura are amazing. Look at the Sun Moon Sect. He just casually mentions the name of the Eastern Sect Leader. The five elders don’t even dare to breathe loudly in front of him.”

Besides, what about the Songshan Sect or the Huashan Sect? In front of Zuo Lengchan and Yue Buqun, who would dare to act like a sect leader?

That air of utter arrogance is something I've never seen before in the entire martial arts world.

But even someone like this, the Holy Maiden disregards and vehemently opposes, yet she mobilizes such a large force for Young Master Linghu. What will Yun Changkong do if he finds out?

Upon hearing this, Ren Yingying felt a surge of turmoil in her heart. She glanced at Yun Changkong as if asking, "What are you going to do?"

Yun Changkong already felt humiliated by this, and when he saw Ren Yingying glancing at him, he transmitted his voice to her: "What are you looking at? My lifelong reputation has been ruined by you, you woman. Get out of here tomorrow, so you won't bother me!"

Upon hearing this, Ren Yingying's eyes immediately flashed with anger.

The old man said, "Yes, Yun Changkong killed three of the Songshan Sect's chief protectors and challenged Zuo Lengchan to a duel. I think he probably wanted to avenge the Holy Maiden because of the rumors that she and he were in love."

But at this critical juncture, news has spread that the Holy Maiden has fallen for Young Master Linghu. Wouldn't this make him lose face?

Besides, the Holy Maiden is determined to kill him. Given his arrogant and fearless nature, why doesn't he go looking for trouble with the Holy Maiden and Young Master Linghu? Wouldn't that be extremely bad?

Ren Yingying bit her lip and transmitted her voice, "Is this why you're making things difficult for me?"

Yun Changkong remained silent.

Ren Yingying said indignantly, "Say something!"

"Save your energy. Your internal injuries haven't healed yet. The more you circulate your qi, the more time you'll waste," Yun Changkong said calmly.

At this moment, Zu Qianqiu sighed and said, "The Holy Maiden is an extraordinary woman of the world. She has always looked down on men and doesn't take Yun Changkong seriously, which is understandable. But she treats Young Master Linghu differently, which is incomprehensible. Alas, I hope that this Hero Yun can understand the principle that marriage is preordained and cannot be forced."

“Yes!” Ji Wushi sighed, “It’s just that Hero Yun was not fortunate enough to have it.”

Zu Qianqiu said, "You can't say that. Lan Fenghuang is also very good. She has always been indifferent to men and has remained chaste. Now that she is with him, she is fortunate!"

"That's it!" The old man slapped his thigh and said, "I understand, I understand everything."

"What do you understand?"

The old man said, "I understand why the Holy Maiden doesn't even notice Yun Changkong, but instead falls for Linghu Chong."

"Why?" the two asked curiously.

The old man said, "The Holy Maiden and Lan Fenghuang are good friends. Since Yun Changkong is with Lan Fenghuang, how could she, with her proud nature, compete with her friend for a man? So even if she is tempted, she has to suppress it. But when she met Young Master Linghu, all her passion was immediately released, gushing out like a flood!"

Yun Changkong chuckled inwardly: "That's pure nonsense. Even without me, they'd still pounce on him. What does it have to do with me?"

The group chattered on and on, while Ren Yingying stared at the mountain stream, trembling all over, unsure whether it was from shame or anger.

Suddenly, Zu Qianqiu sighed, "However, this matter is really difficult. The Holy Maiden wants us to kill Yun Changkong, but we can't beat him and we're too embarrassed to do it. We gathered at Wubagang for Linghu Chong, and the Holy Maiden is angry with us."

You say she's such an extraordinary woman, how can she be so coy and hesitant like ordinary women? She clearly likes Young Master Linghu, but she won't allow anyone to mention it. That's just unreasonable.

Unlike Lan Fenghuang, who is so open and honest, ever since she got together with Yun Changkong, she hasn't hidden it at all. The Holy Maiden is completely outshone by Lan Fenghuang.

Yun Changkong thought it made sense, but knowing that these people were making such a fuss about the Holy Maiden, this woman might actually kill someone. He turned to look at her, but saw that she was completely unmoved. He hesitated for a moment, then asked in a telepathic voice, "Aren't you going to go out and kill them?"

Ren Yingying shook her head and said, "I'm tired today, I don't want to kill anyone!"

She glanced at Lan Fenghuang and transmitted her voice, "Go and send them away. I don't want to hear them gossiping anymore."

Lan Fenghuang nodded and was about to get up when she suddenly heard the old man say, "Alright, alright, our lives were given to us by the Holy Maiden. We can never repay her great kindness in our lifetime. So let's pray to the gods and immortals to help Young Master Linghu turn the tide and marry the Holy Maiden."

As for the matter of killing Yun Changkong, we encountered each other in the martial arts world, but there were few of us, so let's pretend we didn't see it.

"If there are too many of us, we can just draw our knives and get beaten up. With his arrogance, he wouldn't go so far as to kill us all. So, old man, you don't need to worry."

Upon hearing this, the old man beamed with joy and said, "That's true. Let's go, let's go, let's go kill Yun Changkong."

Zu Qianqiu laughed and said, "Yes, Night Owl, let me tell you, I, Huanghe Ancestor, have already reserved Yun Changkong's head. Don't try to take it from me."

Ji Wushi laughed and said, "I don't care to kill Yun Changkong. I'll leave him to you."

"Haha..." The three of them laughed and talked as they walked away into the distance.

Ren Yingying was suddenly overcome with worry again. She leaned listlessly against the slope, unable to sleep, wanting to think but not wanting to think. She felt uncomfortable all over. The thought of taking the Three Corpse Brain-Controlling Pill given to her by Yang Lianting made her feel even more nauseous. She wished she could draw her sword and end it all. But then she thought, "If I die here, wouldn't Yun Changkong laugh at me..."

Suddenly, Yun Changkong laughed and said, "Your performance has exceeded my expectations."

Ren Yingying was silent for a moment, then thought for a while before saying, "How do you think I should behave?"

Yun Changkong said, "Why don't we go out and kill them, or..." He waved his hand and said, "Never mind, let's not talk about this anymore."

Ren Yingying took a deep breath and said softly, "You're right. I am still a woman after all. Whether others respect me or fear me, they all have the intention to make a fool of me."

Yun Changkong laughed heartily.

Ren Yingying blushed slightly and stammered, "Don't you also think I'm ridiculous, trying so hard to get close to Linghu Chong?"

Yun Changkong shook his head and laughed, "No, I think you're ridiculous. It's not about how close you and Linghu Chong are."

"Let me tell you," I said, "my wife once sang, 'In the end, no one can escape that day.' Whether a peerless beauty or a peerless master, in the end, we're all just a pile of bones. That's why I can't bear to see beauties grow old and heroes fade away." Thinking of everything in the world of *The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber*, she sighed, "That's why I once had the opportunity to meet a grandmaster of martial arts who carried on the legacy of the past, but I still chose to give it up!"

Both Lan Fenghuang and Ren Yingying were taken aback. Lan Fenghuang asked in surprise, "Who in this world can be called a grandmaster of martial arts who carries on the legacy and opens up new possibilities?"

Yun Changkong smiled slightly. He was referring to Zhang Sanfeng from the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. He said, "This world is vast and boundless, and the martial arts world is full of hidden masters. The real masters are not necessarily those who are famous in the open. Bodhidharma and Zhang Sanfeng have the most famous names in the martial arts world throughout history, but they are not necessarily the strongest. There are countless people whose martial arts skills are no less than theirs, or even stronger!"

Ren Yingying nodded: "Yes, just like Feng Qingyang. If I hadn't heard you mention the Dugu Nine Swords last time, I would have asked my nephew, and he wouldn't have known who Feng Qingyang was."

Yun Changkong sighed, “Yes, I’m afraid to see these old folks with profound martial arts skills. No matter how high their swordsmanship is, they can’t catch up with the passing time. No matter how famous they are, in the end they can’t escape the fate of returning to the earth.”

I can't help but think that I'll one day face this same fate, and I fear that if I truly become indifferent to everything, life would be utterly meaningless. The fading of heroes and the graying of beauties are the cruelest things imaginable, and I don't want to see them.

Ren Yingying was startled, recalling Yun Changkong's words, "In the end, no one can escape that day." She imagined herself now with youthful beauty and black hair, but in the future, with white hair and wrinkled skin, she would one day turn into a handful of yellow earth and a few withered bones. But then she thought that she had taken poison and might not live to see that day. As she thought about it, she was overcome with sadness and murmured, "In the end, no one can escape that day. So what is the purpose of living?" Tears streamed down her face.

Lan Fenghuang asked, "Holy Maiden, what's wrong?"

Ren Yingying sobbed, "Nothing!"

Yun Changkong chuckled and said, "Nothing much yet. This woman is just worried that one day her youth will fade and her hair will fall out, but you don't need to worry."

Lan Fenghuang asked, "Why?"

Yun Changkong's smile remained unchanged as he said, "She took the Three Corpse Brain God Pill. The day she betrays Dongfang Bubai, they will seize the antidote and kill her."

That way, you won't end up with all your hair gone and your face full of wrinkles, which is a kind of luck in itself.

Our Miss Ren will forever be remembered for her youthful beauty. Isn't that wonderful?

Ren Yingying wiped away her tears, stamped her foot, and said, "You're still laughing at me now? Just you wait. The day I betray Dongfang Bubai, you will also be an enemy of my Sun Moon Divine Cult. They will definitely tear you apart, cut you into a thousand pieces, and leave you with no place to be buried."

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "How could I live to see that day? I'm afraid that as soon as I leave Wubagang, I'll be chopped into four, eight, or sixteen pieces by your loyal but vicious subordinates!"

"Pfft!" Ren Yingying didn't expect Yun Changkong to make such a joke, and couldn't help but smile, covering her mouth and laughing: "Since you know you're scared, then beg this young lady, and I won't kill you."

Seeing her shy demeanor, Yun Changkong felt he had a feast for the eyes and immediately went along with her words, smiling and saying, "The Holy Maiden is right. I was unaware of my own faults. Please forgive me, Miss."

Ren Yingying seemed to think that "this child is teachable," and smiled broadly with great satisfaction.

Upon hearing this smile, Yun Changkong's eyes lit up.

Ren Yingying smiled, looking innocent yet charming, which reminded him of Zhao Min.

When Zhao Min is in a good mood, she laughs so freely and unrestrainedly.

Ren Yingying's beauty is slightly different from Zhao Min's, yet they share similarities. Both are exceptionally beautiful, possessing an air of nobility that inspires awe and prevents anyone from harboring any disrespectful thoughts.

Zhao Min possesses a touch of heroism and a hint of boldness, and she is passionate and unrestrained in front of Yun Changkong, where her charming and captivating nature is sometimes revealed.

Ren Yingying had always been aloof and proud in front of Yun Changkong, displaying a refined and elegant beauty, as well as shyness and restraint. This alluring and graceful demeanor was a first for her, and it immediately stirred his imagination.

But his radiant appearance gave Ren Yingying a completely different feeling.

In Ren Yingying's eyes, Yun Changkong had always been arrogant and domineering. People like Dongfang Bubai, Feng Qingyang, and Zhang Sanfeng would address him by his given name, but seeing Yun Changkong bow his head before her filled her with uncontrollable joy, and she momentarily forgot all her troublesome matters.

Seeing Yun Changkong staring intently at him, he felt a jolt in his heart, his chest pounding like a deer's. A subtle feeling washed over him, and his face inexplicably flushed. He then gave a cold snort and said, "Don't you think it's impolite of you to look at me like that?"

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "What man wouldn't like to look at a beauty like you? Look at Linghu Chong, he'd be willing to die for Yue Lingshan, and he can't take his eyes off you. How much more so for someone like me, who is fickle, heartless, and prone to flirting with other women?"

Ren Yingying's cheeks flushed slightly, like they were tinged with rouge, and she snorted, "What a narrow-minded man you are, always dwelling on the past."

Since she blushed, yet brought up her past words, the reasons behind it were unclear even to the person involved, let alone outsiders.

As Yun Changkong watched, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "Actually, the reason you said I love to see you make a fool of yourself is precisely because of this."

You clearly have feelings for Linghu Chong, yet you refuse to admit it. That contradictory and awkward demeanor inevitably reminds one of the shy beauty of Xi Shi clutching her heart in the past, so I want to see more of you.

Ren Yingying unconsciously raised her eyebrows, her jade-like face flushed red, and her anger was evident in her expression. She shouted in a stern voice, "Fine, I'll go find Linghu Chong right now and marry him!" After saying that, she struggled to get up and started walking away.

Seeing her trembling figure, Yun Changkong thought to himself, "It's as if you don't want to be someone's wife. Heh, this woman is good in every way, but her mind is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, completely unfathomable!"

Lan Fenghuang said, "You're still injured. There's no rush to find Linghu Chong. I really don't understand, is he really worth all this?"

Upon hearing this, Ren Yingying immediately stopped and turned around.

She said sternly, "So many people in the martial arts world laugh at me, and you laugh at me too, as if I've been unwanted my whole life, and I've tried every means to marry Linghu Chong. What's so great about him?"

Although Lan Fenghuang didn't have as much power as the Holy Maiden, she was still a powerful leader of a sect in Tiannan. After being reprimanded by Ren Yingying several times, she became angry and said, "You can marry whoever you want, it's none of my business. But you clearly like someone, yet you pretend not to care. You get angry when others say something, and you even target me. Do you resent that I met my elder brother earlier...?"

At this point, Lan Fenghuang hurriedly stopped speaking, but when Ren Yingying heard the last sentence, her face turned deathly pale, her lips trembled, and she gave a sad smile, slowly saying, "So you also want to say that I'm fickle and shameless?" She bit her lower lip and said, "You want to say that I want to compete with you for Yun Changkong, is that it?"

Yun Changkong was taken aback and thought, "Really? But I'll give it a try, it's a good idea."

Lan Fenghuang shook her head and said, "No, I mean, since you like Linghu Chong, you should boldly confess your feelings. Don't say one thing and mean another. If you keep this up, he won't know. Linghu Chong seems pretty good. It would be a pity if someone else beat you to it."

Ren Yingying smiled bitterly, closed her beautiful eyes, and with a whoosh, drew her short sword and slashed it towards her neck.

Lan Fenghuang was shocked to see this, but Ren Yingying's sword was extremely fast, and she couldn't stop it in time. She cried out in distress.

Just at this critical moment, a clang was heard, and the short sword flew out of his hand, flying several feet before piercing a tree trunk with a whoosh.

Lan Fenghuang immediately grabbed Ren Yingying's right hand, which was holding the knife, and shouted, "What are you doing?"

Ren Yingying saw Yun Changkong retracting his right foot. It turned out that he had seen that if this sword were to strike, the beautiful girl would perish. So he kicked out a pebble as fast as a crossbow bolt, which was how he managed to knock Ren Yingying's sword away.

Ren Yingying said quietly, "Didn't you say that if you didn't want to live anymore, you should have drawn your sword and slit your throat? I'm not someone who seeks sympathy, so why did you save me?"

Yun Changkong felt utterly bored and said, "If there were a goddess like Nuwa, I don't know how much effort she put into creating your appearance. Although you will eventually end up as a pile of bones, I can't bear to see you die now."

He knew that Ren Yingying had never intended to commit suicide in the original story, but this time she actually drew her sword and slit her throat. He thought that in the original story, she and Linghu Chong fell in love, and only when she had no other choice did she go to Shaolin Temple on his back, exchanging ten years of imprisonment for the Yi Jin Jing to save her life.

This time, because of her, Linghu Chong fainted and was taken away by Fang Sheng. She couldn't see her lover, and this woman must be confused.

"Can't bear it?" Ren Yingying smiled bitterly. "If I'm determined to die, you can stop me for a while, but can you stop me forever?"

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "If it can be delayed for a while, it will be delayed for a while. Let me tell you, in terms of love, the biggest regret is not that the person you love does not love you, but that you can only watch helplessly as the person who could have made your dull and boring life more colorful is left on the other side of the river."

There is a divine will at play here. Linghu Chong will not die. He has crossed paths with you, and everything will turn out well for him. Even Dongfang Bubai cannot kill him.

I know you're proud and value your dignity, whether it's because of me or those rumors about Linghu Chong that make you feel ashamed. But to shed tears, pretending to be deceiving yourself that this relationship is unattainable, until even seeing her silhouette in a crowd becomes a luxury—that's when it's truly too late.

Yun Changkong sighed as he looked at the stars in the sky: "I once met a woman who, for love, gave up her noble dignity and her innate stubbornness. I know that her recklessness and loss of reason were not because she was not proud enough, but because she could not let go of the person in her heart."

So you cried in front of me many times, and saved your tears countless times. I dare not say I know everything, but I dare say it's because of the pain of love. But there will always be a tear of happiness. As the saying goes, no gambler loses every day. So how will you know if he can be your ark to cross the sea of ​​suffering in this life if you don't try?

Ren Yingying chuckled coldly, her voice ethereal and barely audible: "You think I'm going to commit suicide because of Linghu Chong?"

Yun Changkong thought to himself, "Then what else could it be!" Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he blurted out, "Oh, I forgot, you took the Three Corpse Brain God Pill this time, which is why you felt desperate."

Ren Yingying suddenly reached out and pushed Lan Fenghuang's hand away, took a deep breath, and stared at Yun Changkong, saying, "This time? When else have I ever taken the Three Corpse Brain God Pill?"

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "It was a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue. Don't worry about the Three Corpse Brain God Pill. It's no big deal. When the time comes, you can capture Yang Lianting and have Dongfang Bubai get the antidote. That old man would cut off his head for someone surnamed Yang."

Upon hearing this, Ren Yingying's cheeks flushed red. Fearing that someone might see her, she quickly turned her head away and sat down to the side.

She already despised Dongfang Bubai for killing her wives and concubines and now obeying a man's every word. She was even more surprised that Yun Changkong knew about it, and her heart was filled with doubt.

Suddenly, Yun Changkong said, "Come here, let me take your pulse. You don't have to let me touch you, you can use your clothes as a barrier."

Ren Yingying said, "No need!"

Yun Chang said in an open voice, "You look so lifeless. If we leave like this, Phoenix won't have the heart to stay with you. It's inconvenient for me to be intimate with her. Hurry up and don't make me angry!"

Ren Yingying snorted, "Shameless!"

Yun Changkong said, "I'm shameless!"

Ren Yingying said coldly, "I'm tired and want to get some sleep."

Yun Changkong said, "It's alright if you sleep. After tonight, I'll take Phoenix away tomorrow!" With that, he got up and left.

Lan Fenghuang paused for a moment, then said, "You rest first, I'll talk to him..."

"There's nothing to say!" Yun Changkong said coldly. "If you don't leave tomorrow, I'll leave on my own!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Fenghuang felt extremely embarrassed, while Ren Yingying felt a sharp pain in her chest. The grievances she had held for many days suddenly turned into a surge of resentment. Her gaze turned icy as she said in a stern voice, "Fine, we shall never see each other again. We shall not know each other. If you continue to joke with me, I will kill you!"

Lan Fenghuang knew that she meant what she said, but she was also afraid that Yun Changkong would insist on her point of view, so she slapped Ren Yingying on the back of the head.

Ren Yingying immediately fainted.

Yun Changkong shook his head helplessly and said, "Isn't it the same even if she wakes up?"

Blue Phoenix pouted and said, "Can't you really get along? You don't have any hatred for each other, can't you put aside your differences and be friends?"

Yun Changkong said, "She treats me like her mortal enemy, and always blames me for spreading rumors about him. Didn't you see the way she looked at me? It was like she wanted to devour me!"

Blue Phoenix chuckled and said, "You're not up to any mischief, are you? You must be lustful and want to marry the Holy Maiden, right?"

Yun Changkong shook his head and said, "Heaven and earth bear witness, I did not!"

"No?" Lan Fenghuang smiled meaningfully and said, "If you didn't have that thought, why did you say those things just now?"
I don't believe there's any woman in this world who could be like the Holy Maiden, abandoning her noble dignity. You're clearly just trying things out with her; you're seducing her. Well, to use your Han Chinese more elegant language, you're subtly making her accept the fact that you already have a wife. Yes, subtly! You, surnamed Yun, are so wicked. (End of Chapter)
