From slave trader to the Immortal Lord of Ten Thousand Laws

Chapter 17 How about... praying for her too?

The western part of the capital city of the Daqian Dynasty is mostly the ruins of the old Chang'an.

Further west from the west of the city, you will see a mountain, a pool, and a waterfall.

The mountain's two sides rise like horns, shrouded in clouds and mist year-round. When sunlight shines down, the streams on the mountain shimmer like fish scales.

There is a cliff in the mountain, and a waterfall hangs on the edge of the cliff. From a distance, it looks as wide as a white satin, hanging down three thousand feet. Below the waterfall is a pool, which is deep and cold, and there are no fish, shrimp or snakes swimming in it.

But on the large blue stone beneath the waterfall, a person was sitting cross-legged at that moment.

There's no need to look at everything.

It's easy to guess that it was Lady Xu.

"Boom—!"

The white waterfall, like muffled thunder, roared and crashed onto Madam Xu's delicate body.

It is said that women are made of water, soft and tender to the touch. But Lady Xu is not only soft and tender, but also possesses a power far surpassing that of tigers and leopards in the forest beneath her alabaster skin.

"Compared to the Third Madam's magnificent red horse, this is a fiery red steed."

Jiang She looked at the scene before him and almost laughed out loud. Madam Xu was the strongest fighter he had ever witnessed. He had never known what else could be inside that delicate, soft body that was as smooth as silk, except for water.

Now, however, we can delve deeper.

Thinking of this, Jiang She was overjoyed.

He smiled and turned his thoughts to Madam Xu.

...

Below the waterfall.

Perhaps because of her training, Madam Xu did not wear her usual blue and white floral village girl's jacket, but instead changed into a tighter white outfit that covered her body.

"Boom!"

The white waterfall crashed down like a heavy hammer.

Madam Xu remained as steady as a rock, sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed. Only her heavy breasts were in the way, causing her to repeatedly bow her head and raise it as the water hit them.

She was soaked to the bone, which only accentuated her figure. Her white, tight-fitting clothes clung to her skin, almost transparent, revealing her full upper body and cinched waist. Her lower body was like yoga pants covering her long legs, the wet fabric clinging to her inner thighs. Just when she thought she had reached a dead end, a glimmer of hope appeared, and she saw Yu Hu living in the cave.

"What long, slender legs, and a full, unassuming chest!"

Jiang She secretly gave a thumbs-up.

He didn't turn his gaze to look behind Madam Xu, but he could guess that her buttocks were plump and heavy, like two millstones, churning with a clanging sound, enough to turn an iron pestle into a needle.

"hiss..."

"I'm afraid you could even extract juice from corn stalks."

Jiang She lowered his head and couldn't help but hiss in a cold breath.

Seeing the pear-shaped, proud figure, and remembering that it would take three days to sell, he was immediately filled with sorrow.

But I dared not think about it any further.

...

"what?"

"What kind of martial arts is she practicing?"

Jiang She turned his head away, his eyes darting around to see how Xu Niangzi was breathing.

As his attention shifted, the scene before him gradually zoomed in on Madam Xu's mouth and nose.

"Inhale—exhale—exhale—exhale—"

Jiang She imitated Madam Xu's breathing rhythm, taking a few short breaths, but his chest and abdomen immediately felt hot and burning. In an instant, his whole body turned red like blood, and he was covered in sweat.

"Ha!"

Jiang She quickly held his breath and stopped breathing. After a few breaths, the heat in his body finally dissipated.

But he dared not practice anymore.

"Practicing like this will only fuel the internal heat, making it accumulate deeper and deeper. No wonder Madam Xu wanted to practice under this white waterfall; it turns out she wanted to use the waterfall to dispel the heat."

Jiang She watched, but then began to manipulate Madam Xu.

But as soon as he touched it, he felt as if his five fingers were being burned by a branding iron.

hiss...

"It's so hot!"

"We must get rid of the fever properly."

Before he could even settle his thoughts, more small words appeared before his eyes:

"Your servant has encountered a bottleneck in her cultivation; would you be willing to offer her some guidance?"

Ok?

guide?

Jiang She was taken aback. Instructions for what?

Prayer is my forte, but guidance...

Or... should we pray for her too?

...

"Splash!"

The white waterfall is like a torrent, rushing down in a mighty torrent.

The waterfall, as thick as a pillar, crashes into the deep pool with a thunderous roar, like a silver dragon raging and stirring up thousands of waves. The surface of the pool seems to boil, but the water is still cold. Even without the rolling thunderclouds, the sound of the waterfall is like thunder.

Waterfall...

Madam Xu sat cross-legged on a large blue stone, her white outfit clinging to her skin, while a torrent of water crashed over her body.

The faster the water flowed, the more even her breathing became. Each breath she took was in sync with the sound of the waterfall, creating a strange sense of profound connection with the Dao.

But this slow and steady process has been going on for over ten years. When did it begin? When she was five or four, she couldn't remember clearly.

All she knew was that ever since she could remember, the moment she opened her eyes, it was all about practicing martial arts, practicing martial arts, practicing martial arts. Later, she was sold to Dingfengbo, losing her mother but gaining a murderer.

then...

Killing, practicing martial arts, practicing martial arts, killing.

Four thousand three hundred and eighty days, repeating endlessly; fifty-two thousand five hundred and sixty hours, day and night.

Why did I kill someone?

Why do I need to practice martial arts?

At first, the ignorant Madam Xu would ask questions, but gradually, as more and more people were handed over to her to kill and her skills became more and more intense, she eventually had no time to ask.

And now...

She had long since become numb and stopped asking.

...

Snowy soul and frosty spirit evoke a chilling charm; watery bones and icy skin achieve a jade-like fragrance.

Madam Xu silently memorized the last line of the mantra in the cultivation technique, but she couldn't understand it no matter what.

"What's going on? Nobody can teach me."

Madam Xu frowned slightly, suddenly wanting to cook some meat dishes. When she was in a bad mood, she would eat heartily to change her mood, but every time she ate meat, she felt her strength increase.

This feeling will last until the next meal.

"Alas!"

"What's going on?!"

Madam Xu was stunned.

Her two beautiful almond-shaped eyes only saw her own delicate, lotus-root-like hands as she tried to pull at her wet white clothes.

She lowered her head and reached out to tug at her collar.

The damp fabric at the neckline clung to her collarbone, making her already barely visible outline even more distinct.

Water droplets rolled down her trembling eyelashes and landed on the back of her hand, chilling her to the bone. But the bodice pressed against her hand trembled, a layer of restlessness lingering beneath it.

"Ouch! It's so hot!"

Jiang She felt the same way and couldn't help but shout it out in Xu Niangzi's voice.

Madam Xu was taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, the fabric clinging to her skin was untied by a hand: her shoulders were exposed, the fabric slid wetly across her collarbone, then hung lightly along the full curves of her chest, before sliding down to her navel, pausing briefly, and finally, with a "snap," completely slipped down to her feet.

The damp clothes, like a quilt, were wrinkled and lay on Xu Niangzi's ankles.

Then lift your foot and step forward...

A jade-like foot, glistening with water, emerged from the pile of wet clothes, its arch delicate and its ankle exquisite, gently touching the moss-covered stone surface.

Immediately afterwards...

The other long leg also lifted up, stepped out, landed on the edge of the bluestone, and then leaped.

"Thump!"

Water splashed everywhere.

As soon as Madam Xu's lamb-like body fell into the icy pool, the penetrating water instantly enveloped her from all sides, colliding violently with the restless current beneath her skin, causing her chest to tremble.

The heat she was constantly suppressing was now locked in a tug-of-war with the chill that seeped into her every pore, a tug-of-war that was wearing her down.

However, Lady Xu had lost control of her body and could no longer suppress the heat within her as before. So she could only open her eyes in the water and watch the dry current and cold water dissipate against each other.

...

"Boom!"

Time passed quickly, but a while did.

Madam Xu looked up at the sky from underwater.

The sky seemed to be shattered, shimmering through the water.

The white waterfall, rumbling like muffled thunder, still roared, and the cold water in the pool still rippled with layers of waves.

Everything seemed unchanged.

The bottleneck that Madam Xu had been unable to overcome for so many years suddenly showed signs of loosening at this moment!

"Phew~"

Snowy soul and frosty spirit evoke a chilling charm; watery bones and icy skin achieve a jade-like fragrance.

So that's how it is!

Madam Xu paused for a moment, then, like a pilgrim offering incense and fulfilling a vow at a temple, she said devoutly:
