destiny eternal calamity

Since the stronghold of the Longevity Cult was destroyed, there have been far fewer people in the capital who have fallen into demonic possession. As a result, Zhao Yuqing has not had much to do and has recently started doing some work such as dredging ditches.

Li Wei now works every other day, for one hour each time.

Anyway, as a viscount, he came to work to experience life, so no one can say he neglected his duties.

The Dali Weekly will not be published for another two days, and the atmosphere in Beijing is as lively as ever, yet also ordinary.

The only news worth paying attention to recently is the trouble caused by Liu Feiyan, the courtesan of Nongyue Pavilion.

Although Liu Feiyan was the most beautiful courtesan, she was a pure courtesan who rarely showed her face. At most, she would wear a veil and play a tune in the pavilion.

However, people tend to want what they can't have.

Liu Feiyan's figure, musical skills, the half of her face that was exposed, and her watery eyes were all truly top-notch. Even if the other half of her face was of average appearance, she was still a rare beauty.

Therefore, his value has only increased, with his appearance fee reaching five thousand taels, and the playboys of the capital still flock to him.

Then some people started making a fuss because they spent tens of thousands of taels of silver but couldn't even see a complete face.

The result was that the third son of the First-Class Duke Weilie had both legs broken and was thrown out by the guards of Nongyue Pavilion.

This caused a huge uproar, making Li Wei worry that it would affect the popularity of his match against Long Ming.

Fortunately, this happened three days ago and has gradually subsided.

Afterwards, Nongyuexuan did not encounter any trouble, which shows that the Xuan Nu Sect has a strong network of connections.

The Duke of Weilie was a key figure in the Crown Prince's faction. His three sons had caused such a scandal, and he had no way to retaliate. He felt as disgusted as if he had swallowed a mouthful of excrement.

I wonder if he'll feel even worse when the crown prince falls from power in a couple of days.

Zhao Yuqing's progress in the Spirit Bridge Realm is incredibly rapid. Previously, when Li Wei sparred with Zhao Yuqing, they could barely hold their own without her using illusion-like techniques. But now, he is still in the mid-stage of the Spirit Bridge Realm, while Zhao Yuqing has already entered the late stage, and he can no longer defeat her.

This rate of improvement is practically cheating! By the time he breaks through to the Divine Treasury, his opponent might already be breaking through to the Dharma Aspect!

However, even with such an incredible cultivation speed, it's impossible to complete the eternal tribulation before the age of twenty. To be precise, even reaching the Void Realm is difficult; reaching the Heavenly Mandate Realm would be quite an achievement.

So it seems there really is a problem with the succession of the Heavenly Maiden.

Although the two were acquainted, they were just friends and not at the point of being able to talk about anything, so Li Wei naturally didn't dare to ask.

After finishing a fight with Zhao Yuqing, Li Wei returned to the Princess's Mansion after get off work and took out the high heels he had designed.

Because he was afraid of revealing his design, he ordered parts from different leatherworkers and shoemakers and assembled them himself.

There were more than thirty pairs in total, including pointed-toe, peep-toe, strappy, and strapless styles, with varying heel heights.

Unfortunately, there are very few dyeing methods in this world, so the only difference is between red and white soles, and the uppers are all made of very ordinary leather.

Fortunately, it can be embellished with gold and silver, so it's not too bad-looking.

I made two sets this time, one for Princess Wife and one for Aunt Ying.

It serves as both a gift and a test to see if these high heels have any design flaws.

Xiao Shuying stayed by his side the whole time, watching him fiddle with these novel gadgets, and she was quite curious.

When he finally found out that Li Wei was going to give him a set, he was pleasantly surprised.

Although these shoes looked completely uncomfortable, they were a token of her son's good intentions, so Xiao Shuying naturally accepted them.

"Aunt Ying, why don't you try it on?" Li Wei pleaded.

Xiao Shuying couldn't refuse him, so she had no choice but to take out a pair of the lowest-heeled pointed gold-trimmed strappy high heels and put them on.

Although the culture of this world is similar to the ancient Eastern culture on Earth, it does not have the barbaric custom of foot binding, so high heels can still be worn normally.

Xiao Shuying untied her silk stockings, revealing a pair of shapely feet, and stuffed them into the novel shoes.

Because she was a cultivator, no embarrassing incidents of falling due to imbalance occurred, but Xiao Shuying still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"These heels are really hard to get used to. Even I, as a cultivator, find it difficult, let alone ordinary women."

Xiao Shuying commented.

However, she also noticed the benefits of these shoes: they made her legs look longer and her buttocks more perky.

That brat, all he thinks about is this...

After hearing the evaluation, Li Wei realized that the women in this world were not used to being tortured by high heels, and that he had indeed acted somewhat carelessly.

It seems that the lowest 5cm version should be sold as a high-end version. We should design a 3cm low version and then gradually introduce super high heels later.

……at night.

Long Bilin looked at the dozen or so pairs of shoes that Li Wei had taken out with great curiosity.

"My dear wife, these are the shoes I told you about last time that I wanted you to try on."

Li Wei picked out a pair of red, strapless high heels with eight-centimeter heels and handed them over.

Long Bilin didn't hesitate. Since they were an old married couple, she took off her shoes and put them on.

Although she is not as tall as Xiao Shuying, she is still close to 1.7 meters tall, and with these shoes, she is not much shorter than Li Wei.

Seeing his princess wife's aura, which was already over three meters tall, suddenly increase to over four meters, Li Wei couldn't help but feel incredibly envious.

It instantly transformed into a ferocious beast and pounced.

"Husband, these shoes haven't been taken off yet..."

Long Bilin said in a somewhat panicked manner, she did not expect Li Wei to be so excited to see her wearing these shoes.

Of course, Li Wei wouldn't let her take off those red-soled high heels; that's the essence of it all.

One hour later.

Seeing that the beauty in his arms was truly exhausted and could no longer continue, Li Wei had no choice but to stop and fall asleep peacefully.

After a while, just as he was drifting off to sleep, he suddenly felt the air around him freeze, and he was unable to move as if he were being paralyzed by a ghost.

This is normal for ordinary people, but how could a cultivator possibly experience sleep paralysis!

Alarm bells rang in his mind; he never expected to be ambushed in the princess's residence!

The opponent must be a powerful cultivator at the Void Realm or above; this is truly dangerous.

Just as Li Wei was exerting all his strength to break free from this energy blockade, he found himself being lifted up.

It was still locked in by an extremely powerful aura.

He had already used all the strength in his body, including the power of returning to nothingness, but it had no effect.

He couldn't even make a sound, let alone exert any effort.

Li Wei, of course, did not know that this was a spatial restriction, a technique that only cultivators at the Void Realm could use.

I only regret that my strength is still too weak.

Then a soft little hand touched his cheek.

The sensation on his skin put him at ease.

The other person was probably a woman, and she didn't seem to want to hurt him.

Why did this woman break into Long Bilin's boudoir in the middle of the night and even lay hands on him, a man?

Could it be that……
