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

Yang Guo opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

The red and black primordial energy bead in his dantian spun rapidly, and the third layer of patterns was about to solidify into a tangible form.

The middle stage of the innate stage is already within reach.

He stood up, stretched, and his bones cracked all over.

The medicinal power of the snake gallbladders in his stomach had all been transformed into Nine Yin True Qi, and his internal strength was now much stronger than before.

On a bluestone slab next to her, Cheng Ying also opened her eyes.

She looked down at her hands, flexing and straightening her fingers several times.

The internal energy circulated very smoothly, and the previously sluggish parts of the meridians were now completely unblocked.

This internal strength has genuinely increased over the past few years!

Cheng Ying gritted her teeth, her mind racing with calculations.

This Bodhi snake gall is truly a treasure!

She had a weak foundation to begin with, and if she relied on herself to practice, who knows how long it would take.

If I could eat a few more snake gallbladders and forcefully increase my internal strength, I might be able to break through the mark in my dantian with my profound true energy!

Once the mark is broken, she will be free!

I will never have to suffer the humiliation of this shameless bastard again!

Cheng Ying stood up, patted the dust off her skirt, and straightened her tattered collar.

"I'm going to get some food and pick some wild fruit along the way."

She didn't look at Yang Guo, and turned to walk towards the edge of the woods.

Yang Guo glanced at her retreating figure and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Don't go too far, there are a lot of worms in this forest."

Cheng Ying ignored him and disappeared into the bushes without looking back.

Lu Wushuang draped her washed Taoist robe over a tree branch, walked over, and sat down next to Yang Guo.

"Husband, is my cousin still upset?"

"That's called being stubborn; she can't bring herself to say it."

Yang Guo reached out and pinched Lu Wushuang's cheek, his hand feeling smooth and slippery. After saying that, he ignored her and continued to refine the medicinal power of the snake gall.

The sun gradually set in the west, and the sky slowly darkened.

A wind rose in the valley, making people feel cool.

Lu Wushuang snuggled closer to Yang Guo, wrapping her arms around his.

"Husband, my cousin has been gone for almost half an hour, why hasn't she come back yet? Does it take that long to pick some wild fruit?"

"My cousin is really something! She's such a grown woman, and she still causes me so much trouble!"

Yang Guo frowned.

That woman is cunning; she's usually so quiet you could hardly hear a word she utter, but who knows what kind of bad scheme she's plotting?

She bears the mark of the Qiankun Technique, so she can't run very far.

If you stay too far away from him, the mark will flare up, and the feeling will be worse than death.

"She's hiding something from me."

Yang Guo stood up and patted the dirt off his backside.

He walked up to the big rock, where the eagle was still sleeping, snoring loudly.

Yang Guo kicked the large rock, making a thud.

The eagle opened its eyes, and its flat, large head turned to look at him.

"Idiot, I'm going out to find someone. You keep an eye on my wife and don't let those snakes get near her."

Yang Guo pointed at Lu Wushuang.

The Divine Eagle made a gurgling sound in its throat and closed its eyes again.

That means you've agreed.

Yang Guo turned to Lu Wushuang and instructed, "You stay here and don't go anywhere. I'm going to drag her back and see how I deal with her!"

Lu Wushuang nodded obediently.

Yang Guo followed the direction Cheng Ying had left in.

The woods were pitch black, the path was difficult to walk on, and the weeds were half a person tall.

He gathered his inner energy and used the Golden Goose Technique to swiftly traverse the forest.

After searching halfway up the hill, the sound of flowing water suddenly came from ahead.

It is a small stream.

A person lies dead in the grass by the stream.

Yang Guo tiptoed over and discovered that the person was Cheng Ying.

She lay on the muddy ground by the water, clutching her collar tightly with both hands, curled up into a ball.

The light green outer garment was already tattered beyond recognition, and the inner garment underneath was soaked with sweat and stream water, clinging tightly to the body and outlining a waist that was so thin it could be grasped with one hand.

When Yang Guo approached, he saw that Cheng Ying's face was completely red, and even her neck and ears were bright red.

She was breathing heavily, making intermittent groans.

Beside her lay seven or eight dead, spotted snakes with their bellies cut open, their blood and entrails scattered everywhere.

Upon seeing this scene, Yang Guo instantly understood everything.

Damn it, this bitch dared to sneak out behind his back to kill snakes and eat their gallbladders!

She didn't even consider her own limitations. Without his guidance, could she really afford to eat the gallbladder of the Bodhi snake?

Damn it, that's asking for it!

Yang Guo squatted down and grabbed Cheng Ying's wrist.

The pulse is completely erratic!

The pure yang heat of the snake gall surged wildly through her meridians, almost bursting her Shaoyang meridian.

Even worse, all this heat was concentrated in the dantian and could not circulate at all.

Right now, Cheng Ying is like a powder keg that could explode at any moment.

Once the meridians can no longer withstand the strain, the consequence will be qi deviation and demonic possession!

"You damn woman, are you out of your mind?" Yang Guo couldn't help but curse out.

Cheng Ying heard the sound and barely opened her eyes.

Upon seeing that it was Yang Guo, the stubbornness in her eyes hadn't faded, and her voice was terribly hoarse: "It's none of your business..."

"You don't need my help? Your meridians are about to burst!"

Yang Guo pulled hard and lifted her out of the mud.

Cheng Ying's body went limp and she crashed directly into Yang Guo's arms.

Her body was burning hot; you could feel the astonishing temperature even through her clothes.

The mark within her body went completely mad the moment it came into contact with Yang Guo's pure yang energy!

Cheng Ying's rational defenses collapsed instantly.

She uncontrollably wrapped her arms around Yang Guo's neck and pressed her body against him.

"It's hot...so hot..."

Cheng Ying closed her eyes, mumbled incoherently, and kept rubbing her cheek against Yang Guo's chest.

Her waist twisted and turned, and her legs were tightly wrapped around Yang Guo's thighs.

Only when she was close to him could she feel a slight coolness.

Seeing her like this, Yang Guo's anger was also ignited.

"How many did you eat?" He pinched her chin, forcing her to look up.

"Five...five..."

Cheng Ying gritted her teeth, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. Her eyes were filled with a mixture of grievance, hatred, and an indescribable longing.

"You've got guts!" Yang Guo sneered. "I'd have to be careful even eating five snake gallbladders, and you dared to swallow them all in one go!"

"Weren't you trying to run away? Didn't you want to ignore me? Why are you clinging to me now?"

He stared into her eyes, his tone full of mockery.

"I didn't... Let go..."

Cheng Ying shook her head while crying, desperately refusing verbally, but her body language betrayed her.

"Let go? You really think I care?"

Without saying a word, Yang Guo immediately let go of her hand.

As a result, Cheng Ying's body was completely out of control, and she rubbed against Yang Guo even more actively.

Her soaked undergarment gleamed coldly in the moonlight, outlining her perfect curves.

"You filthy scoundrel, I told you to let go!"

She had her eyes closed, still cursing Yang Guo, but she didn't look like she was cursing at all; she was clearly seducing him.

Yang Guo: "..."

Holy crap, this woman really knows how to have fun!

They say the harshest things, but their actions speak the most truthful truths.
