The Empress remarried, and I retaliated by wiping out the court.

Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Number One Manor under Heaven has sent someone to inquire about the cause of Empress Xie's death..."

Upon hearing Cao Ji's report, Ye Wudao rubbed his throbbing temples.

Two days have passed since the bandit suppression at Yanlang Mountain. During this time, Xie Wuwang has sent many people to inquire about the cause of Xie Bingyu's death, presumably because he wants to obtain the "Pure Yang Longevity Skill".

He said calmly, "Just say she was killed by thieves, and don't bother me!"

Cao Ji whispered, "This old servant has returned, but the Number One Manor under Heaven is questioning you: why did you send the powerless Empress Xie to suppress the bandits?"

"Insolence!" Ye Wudao's murderous intent surged forth like mercury spilling onto the ground.

"Who does he think he is? How dare he question me?"

"Next time the Number One Manor in the World comes, cripple them and throw them back!"

"Yes."

After seeing Cao Ji off, Ye Wudao thought of the scene two days ago when he was almost assassinated by Du Yuteng, and became wary.

"With Xie Bingyu gone, I've lost a grandmaster-level expert by my side. If I encounter another assassination attempt, I won't be so lucky."

Rather than needing protection from others when facing assassination attempts, Ye Wudao preferred to strengthen his own abilities.

Coincidentally, during this period of cultivating the "Yin Yang Intercourse Ode", he vaguely felt that he was on the verge of a breakthrough.

"Someone, bring Xiao Chan here."

A moment later, a slender and graceful figure appeared at the entrance of the Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

The sound was crisp, yet tinged with a hint of caution.

Ye Wudao looked up.

Xiao Chan was dressed in a light green palace maid's dress, with a pale white belt around her waist. Her long, black hair was simply tied into a bun, with a few strands falling beside her face.

The other person had bright, lively eyes, a delicate nose, and rosy lips. Their appearance was not flamboyant, but rather extremely refined.

Ye Wudao stared at her for a moment, then suddenly shouted sternly, "You audacious thief! What is your purpose in sneaking into my palace?"

Xiao Chan froze: "Your Majesty, what...what are you saying?"

Ye Wudao said calmly, "You are at the peak of the Transformation Realm, only one step away from the Grandmaster Realm. Why would such a master serve as a mere palace maid?"

Xiao Chan stammered, "How...how did you know?"

Ye Wudao, looking confident of victory, said, "I can forgive and forget. No matter what you did before, from now on, you are mine."

"But……"

"There's no 'but' about it!"

Ye Wudao took Xiao Chan's small hand in one hand and wrapped his other arm around her slender waist, whispering in her ear:

"You forgot, Luo Hanyan has already given you to me."

Xiao Chan's breathing became rapid, and she instinctively resisted the man's intimacy. No part of her body had ever been touched by a man, and her 18 years of chastity made her want to avoid Ye Wudao's brutal violation.

She tried to break free, but Ye Wudao seemed to have seen through her thoughts and said calmly:

"I know that even now, you only think of your young lady. But with your current strength, let alone protecting her, you haven't even stepped into the Grandmaster realm. If a powerful enemy were to descend, what would you use to stand in her way?"

He paused, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"However, I do have a way to help you reach the Grandmaster realm..."

Xiao Chan's pupils contracted slightly.

Ye Wudao leaned down to her ear, his voice like a devil's whisper.

"Think about it carefully. If you break through to the Grandmaster level, anyone who wants to harm Luo Hanyan in the future will have to get past you first. Only if you are strong enough will you be qualified to protect her."

Ye Wudao could tell that Xiao Chan was the kind of innocent girl who had trained hard since childhood and had never experienced the world. This kind of woman could be called a martial arts fanatic - she was not interested in anything else, but she was only interested in practicing martial arts to improve herself!

Xiao Chan nodded almost unconsciously: "Your Majesty, my heart belongs only to Miss. If Your Majesty can help me break through to the Grandmaster level, I will be eternally grateful!"

Ye Wudao held Xiao Chan tightly and whispered something in her ear.

Xiao Chan's little ears immediately turned visibly red: "Your Majesty, this...is this really going to work?"

"Why don't you try and see? You'll know if I'm lying once you try, or... is this all the loyalty you have for your young lady? You're not even willing to take this small risk?"

As he spoke, Ye Wudao took out the "Yin Yang Intercourse Ode".

Looking at the various shameful positions above, Xiao Chan blushed crimson, overwhelmed with embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, this...this is outrageous! How could a woman possibly...pose her legs like that?"

Ye Wudao coughed lightly and began to spout nonsense with a straight face:

"Those who become grandmasters do not concern themselves with trivialities! Don't look at the posture; look at the pattern of meridian flow! This is using the power of Yin and Yang to cleanse the meridians, harmonize Qi and blood, and help martial artists break through their own limitations... Xiao Chan, Xiao Chan, how can you be so superficial?"

With that, Ye Wudao lifted Xiao Chan up in his arms.

Xiao Chan gasped in surprise, feeling dizzy and disoriented. In the blink of an eye, she was brought to the dragon bed, where a man's hot body pressed down on her.

She held down Ye Wudao's rough hand and said shyly:

"Your Majesty... is it really possible?"

Ye Wudao smiled: "Why not give it a try..."

Once you've tried it, you're not a child anymore...

Just then, Luo Hanyan's voice came from outside the door:

"Xiao Chan! Xiao Chan, are you inside? I heard you were summoned by Ye Wudao..."

Luo Hanyan's arrival caused Xiao Chan's already tense body to tense up even more.

"Small……"

Ye Wudao immediately covered her mouth with his hand and whispered, "Don't make a sound. We need to quietly become stronger and then amaze everyone!"

Xiao Chan: "???"

Ye Wudao called out loudly, "Xiao Chan just had diarrhea, my beloved concubine. It's so early in the morning, how about we do some morning exercise together?"

"No, please, I'm not feeling well today..."

Luo Hanyan, standing outside the door, was puzzled. She knew that Ye Wudao was interested in her maid, but she dared not say it outright.

Suddenly, she heard a suppressed yet excited voice coming from the room.

She frowned. "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Ye Wudao's hands had already quietly reached inside Xiao Chan's clothes, and he said without any tenderness:

"I'm practicing standing meditation, and I feel extremely stable. My beloved concubine, would you like to try it?"

Remembering Ye Wudao's usual fierce behavior, Luo Hanyan quickly ran away, saying, "Your Majesty, I am unwell, farewell!"

Hearing that no one was outside the door, Ye Wudao finally dared to say to Xiao Chan:

"Xiao Chan, when we practice, we need to talk about being free and unrestrained, with a clear mind. Simply put, it means... if you want to howl, just howl it out."

Xiao Chan: "o(////▽////)q"

Two hours later.

Ye Wudao slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

boom!

An invisible aura suddenly erupted from his body, and the surrounding air seemed to tremble slightly.

Ye Wudao looked down at his hands.

It was still the same hands, but at this moment he could clearly feel that a continuous stream of power had appeared within his body.

That force wasn't overwhelming, but rather like a gentle stream, permeating every part of my body.

"This is... Ming Jin?"

Ye Wudao clenched his fist.

Click!

A soft popping sound came from the air.

Ming Jin is the first stage of martial arts mastery.

With refined Qi and blood, strong muscles and bones, and power flowing throughout the body, every punch and kick can unleash power far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Most importantly, from this day forward, he was no longer a powerless emperor.

Even when facing martial arts masters, he now possesses the ability to engage in direct combat.

If he were to be assassinated again, he wouldn't be forced to stand still and wait for someone to rescue him.

Ye Wudao's lips slowly curled up. After being in this world for so long, he finally possessed power that truly belonged to him.

"Although I am still far from being a grandmaster... I have finally gained some ability to protect myself."

Under the influence of the "Yin Yang Intercourse Ode", his internal energy seemed to be completely activated, flowing continuously along his limbs and bones.

After the yin energy within Xiao Chan entered his body, it was processed through the "Yin-Yang Intercourse Ode" and formed a perfect cycle with the yang energy within him.

Yin and Yang in harmony.

Water and fire can coexist.

Xiao Chan slowly opened her eyes, overjoyed: "Your Majesty, my bottleneck has been broken!"

Ye Wudao affectionately pinched her little nose: "I wasn't lying to you, was I? Do you still want to cultivate with me in the future?"

Without a second thought, Xiao Chan hugged Ye Wudao tightly, nodding vigorously, "Yes! I miss him so much!"

Ye Wudao looked at the woman he had turned into a little fangirl with a proud expression.

really.

Women need communication; as long as communication is effective, any obstacle can be overcome!
