Huang Rong from The Return of the Condor Heroes: Brother Jing, let's get a divorce.

The three of them walked along the official road.

As we traveled further north, the terrain gradually opened up.

After half a day, the three of them finally arrived at Tongguan Pass.

A tall city came into view ahead.

The city wall was built with blue bricks.

A flag hangs on the city gate tower, with the two large characters "Tongguan" written on it.

Yang Guo rode on horseback, his hands wrapped around Lu Wushuang's waist from behind.

Lu Wushuang leaned against Yang Guo's chest, slowly munching on a piece of dry rations in her hand.

The two would whisper in each other's ears from time to time.

Yang Guo was in a good mood today, so he didn't hold back his actions.

Lu Wushuang's body went limp from his ministrations, and she let out soft moans.

Instead of dodging, she leaned back and deliberately teased Yang Guo with her pert buttocks.

Cheng Ying walked alone behind the horse, her legs aching terribly.

I spent half the night freezing in the dilapidated temple, and then I crawled into Yang Guo's cloak and was taken advantage of by him all night.

That extremely shameful memory lingered in my mind, and I couldn't shake it off.

With each step she took, she felt an unbearable soreness and weakness throughout her body. Her undergarments were already soaked with sweat and clung uncomfortably to her skin.

Cheng Ying could only grit her teeth and endure it.

She looked down at the tire tracks on the ground, with only one thought in her mind.

Hurry into town and buy a horse.

With a horse, she could distance herself from Yang Guo and no longer suffer this torment.

She couldn't stand walking behind, listening to the lewd sounds of a couple flirting on horseback ahead.

Those vulgar and offensive words drilled into her ears, stirring up the lustful fire within her.

People were coming and going at the city gate, and the checkpoints were very strict.

Yang Guo dismounted and took the reins in his hand.

He reached out and pulled Lu Wushuang down into his arms.

When Lu Wushuang landed, she lost her balance and fell into Yang Guo's arms.

Yang Guo cupped her buttocks with his large hand and gave them a hard squeeze.

"Stand still, don't be a slut in broad daylight."

Yang Guo cursed, but his hands didn't stop; he touched her thigh again.

Lu Wushuang rolled her eyes at him and slapped his hand away.

She leaned close to Yang Guo's ear and whispered something.

"We didn't get enough last night, so you started touching me in broad daylight."

"Let's find a nice inn tonight, then I'll let you touch me as much as you want."

Cheng Ying could see and hear everything clearly from behind.

She turned her face away, pretending not to see or hear anything.

These two are shameless to do such a thing in broad daylight.

She quickened her pace, wanting to get as far away from them as possible.

But after taking just two steps, a tingling sensation came from the groin area.

Her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

Once inside the city, the streets were lined with shops.

There were people selling steamed buns, selling cloth, and blacksmiths.

The various hawking cries blended together, creating a lively atmosphere.

Tongguan was a major transportation hub, attracting many merchants from both the north and south.

"There's a mule and horse market up ahead."

Yang Guo pointed to a large archway at the end of the street.

Behind the archway was a large open space where dozens of horses and mules were tethered.

The air was filled with the smell of livestock manure.

The three of them arrived at the Mule and Horse Market.

This place is divided into several areas.

The outer area sells draft horses and mules for pulling carts.

The horses tied up in the several large sheds inside are the ones that people can ride.

A broker dressed in a gray cloth jacket came forward to greet them.

The man had a big smile on his face and was bowing and scraping.

Those in this line of work have the sharpest eyes; they can spot the big spenders at a glance.

Although Yang Guo was dressed plainly, his casual yet menacing demeanor made him seem like a formidable figure in the martial arts world.

The two women following them were either charming and feisty or elegant and refined; they were definitely not from ordinary families.

"Gentlemen, would you like to buy a horse or a mule?"

"Our livestock here is the best in the Tongguan area."

The broker rubbed his hands together and asked.

Yang Guo pointed to Cheng Ying behind him.

"Pick one for her."

"He should have a gentle personality and be able to drive long distances."

"Don't try to fool me with that weak old man, I know what I'm doing."

Yang Guo spoke in a very aggressive tone, revealing the bandit-like air of a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person who lives and breathes the martial arts world).

The broker nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, sir, please come inside."

"There are several fine horses inside that have just come from outside the Great Wall, perfect for this young lady to ride."

"Whether it's the coat color or the teeth, they're top-notch."

Cheng Ying ignored Yang Guo and followed the broker into the shed.

There were five or six horses tied up in the shed.

Cheng Ying didn't know how to judge horses, but the people of Peach Blossom Island valued pomp and circumstance.

She walked along the wooden railing and immediately spotted a white horse.

The horse has a pure white coat without any other colors, and it is not very tall.

It has big eyes and looks very gentle.

"I want this one."

Cheng Ying pointed to the white horse and said.

The broker gave a thumbs-up and praised loudly.

"Young lady, you have a good eye."

"This white horse is a mare, and she has the gentlest temperament."

"It runs smoothly and steadily, without any bumps."

"You look absolutely stunning riding on it, especially with your outfit."

"If this horse were to walk down the street, it would definitely turn heads."

Cheng Ying was too lazy to listen to his flattery and asked the price directly.

"How much?"

The man with the tooth extended five fingers and waved them in front of Cheng Ying.

"Fifty taels of silver, not a penny less."

Cheng Ying was stunned.

Although her family had fallen on hard times, she had always lived a life of luxury since childhood. This was her first time leaving Peach Blossom Island, and she had no experience in the martial arts world, so she had no concept of money at all.

She thought a horse would cost at most a few taels of silver.

In her mind, money was something she never needed to worry about.

Cheng Ying untied the purse from her waist.

The purse was exquisite, embroidered with orchids.

She opened the purse and looked inside.

There were only a few pieces of silver inside, which added up to less than ten taels at most.

This was just a handful of loose change she grabbed when she left the island.

She had thought the money would last her a long time.

Cheng Ying's hand holding the purse froze in mid-air.

Her face turned bright red.

For Cheng Ying, who was always proud and aloof, being penniless was worse than being beaten.

She was Huang Yaoshi's last disciple, and everyone in the martial arts world gave her a lot of face.

Now they're trapped over a few dozen taels of silver.
