Gu Long's World: Starting with the Legend of Chu Liuxiang

The Taoist temple was a very strange one.

After Black Spider led the way here, he left with Murong Jiu, who had regained consciousness.

Tie Pinggu was unwilling to come to such a dangerous place and did not come along.

The backyard of the Taoist temple was brightly lit, but the front yard and main hall were pitch black, making it impossible to tell what kind of deity the temple worshipped.

Jiang Fengyue and Xiaoyuer walked into the backyard. The backyard of the Taoist temple did not look like a temple, but rather like a house built by a wealthy family.

The backyard was deserted, but in the exquisite flower hall, on the luxurious carpet, lay a fierce tiger with glaring eyes and a white forehead.

If you look closely, the flower hall is not as big as it appears to the naked eye; it is divided into two halves by a yellow curtain.

There's a tiger on one side of the yellow curtain, but what secrets lie on the other side?

Little Fish couldn't resist sneaking up to explore the mystery.

Jiang Fengyue arrived at the hall first, and with his superb lightness skill, he should not have made any noise.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the tiger woke up, leaped up, roared, and the leaves in the backyard rustled down.

This tiger doesn't rely on its eyes to see or its ears to hear; it only needs its sensitive nose to smell whether a stranger is approaching.

Just as the tiger was about to pounce, a hand suddenly reached out from behind the yellow curtain and gently stroked its forehead.

The owner of the hand said softly, "Little Fish, sit down. Don't frighten the guests like a watchdog."

A soft, charming female voice rang out, and the tiger actually obeyed and sat down, wagging its tail like a well-behaved kitten.

Little Fish was almost scared out of his wits. He thought the person inside was calling him, but luckily he heard the second half of the sentence.

Jiang Fengyue sighed inwardly. This fierce tiger was also called Little Fish. She just didn't know if the person who named it was lazy or if there was some other hidden meaning.

The soft, charming female voice rang out again, with a smile, "Since you're here, why not come in and sit down?"

Little Fish asked, "May I ask your name, young lady?"

The man behind the yellow curtain laughed and said, "You're already married, how dare you call yourself Madam? My humble surname is Bai."

Jiang Fengyue smiled and said, "So it's Madam Bai."

Even if it's a tiger's den, Jiang Fengyue would still dare to barge in; Xiaoyuer is naturally fearless.

So the two of them walked into the flower hall together, but the owner of the female voice did not appear for a long time.

Madam Bai, behind the yellow curtain, said softly, "What brings you two gentlemen here? You can't have come for this lowly concubine."

Jiang Fengyue asked, "Is Jiang Yulang here?"

Madam Bai smiled and said, "So you were looking for him. Are you his friends?"

Little Fish sneered, "Friends? You could say that. I've known him for a long time."

Madam Bai sighed softly, "If that's the case, I should have taken you to find him, but unfortunately..."

Little Fish suddenly interrupted her, laughing, "We've been here for so long, and instead of welcoming us, Madam won't even let us see her?"

Madam Bai said quietly, "If you were to lift this curtain and take a look, you wouldn't say such things."

Jiang Fengyue walked over and lifted the yellow curtain separating the two spaces, revealing a completely different scene on the other side of the curtain compared to the front hall.

The front hall was magnificent, filled with jade vases and paintings, but behind the yellow curtains, there was nothing of value.

The ground was covered with straw, and there was a water trough in the corner. Even a pigsty or stable would be better than this, let alone a place where people live. At least those places have fences.

A richly dressed woman with a face full of makeup was chained here.

"Check-in!"

"Signed in with Madam Bai successfully, gained one year's worth of internal energy."

"Signed in with Lord Baishan successfully, gained five years of internal energy."

Jiang Fengyue sneered. So there was someone else hiding here. If she rashly went forward to untie Madam Bai's chains, Bai Shanjun would make a move.

Madam Bai smiled sadly and said, "How do you think I can take you to find Jiang Yulang looking like this?"

Little Fish frowned and asked, "Who locked you here?"

Madam Bai lowered her head and said, "He is my husband."

Little Fish asked, "Your husband?"

Madam Bai said sadly, "That's right. My husband is the most suspicious, unreasonable, and jealous man in the world. He thinks that if I leave, I will have affairs with other men."

Jiang Fengyue smiled and said, "Isn't that right?"

Madam Bai was speechless for a moment, then said, "I..."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Don't be fooled by my flamboyant attire. My husband only allows me to dress like this so that he alone can see me."

Jiang Fengyue asked, "What will other people think when they see this?"

Madam Bai sighed, "Even if someone only glanced at me, he would kill that person. You have already seen me. Even if you don't rescue me, he will come back to settle accounts with you."

Jiang Fengyue sneered, "You want us to rescue you?"

Madam Bai said sadly, "Can you really bear to..."

Jiang Fengyue and Xiaoyuer looked at each other and smiled. If Hua Wuque were here, given his upbringing, he might have fallen for Madam Bai's tricks, because he would have thought that such a woman was really too pitiful.

But Jiang Fengyue already knew it was an ambush, and Xiaoyuer could see at a glance that Madam Bai was lying, so this kind of trap was naturally useless against them.

Jiang Fengyue smiled and said, "How could you be so heartless?"

After saying this, he grabbed a vase from the front table and threw it forcefully toward a window on the left.

With a loud bang, the window was smashed into pieces, and a burly man jumped in from behind it, his face covered in broken porcelain shards and blood.

The strong man wasn't particularly tall, but his broad shoulders, thick back, and solid muscles made him appear very imposing.

This burly man is none other than the famous Lord Baishan, one of the Twelve Constellations.

Lord Baishan roared, "You tried to steal my wife! I'll kill you all!"

Jiang Fengyue laughed and said, "We didn't intend to steal it. You were watching from outside from the beginning, so you shouldn't have been blind."

Bai Shanjun snorted coldly and said, "Stop talking nonsense and give me your lives."

He roared and pounced, like a fierce tiger.

Bai Shanjun threw a punch with such force that even the lights in the flower hall swayed violently.

Xiao Yu'er frowned slightly. He realized that Black Spider's fear of this person was not without reason. Even if he were here, he wouldn't be confident of taking this punch.

Little Fish frowned and said, "Brother Jiang, we..."

Jiang Fengyue smiled and said, "Let's go."

Before he could finish speaking, he threw out his left fist and drew an arc in the air with his right hand, actually managing to block Bai Shanjun's punch.

Bai Shanjun roared and staggered backward, his punching force exhausted, stopping halfway through.

The force he had exerted suddenly rebounded, catching Bai Shanjun off guard. He staggered back several steps before regaining his balance.

The three people inside exclaimed in unison, "A substitution of flowers for jade!"
