Snowflakes are falling...

“...I’ve only heard of him, but never seen him.” Zhen Zhibing’s voice was a little hoarse.

Zhao Zhijing didn't seem to mind and laughed, "Little Dragon Girl is getting married soon."

"Is...is that so?" Zhen Zhibing feigned surprise: "I wonder who the other party is?"

"Haha, it's interesting to say that Xiaolongnu's future husband is none other than Young Hero Ling Chi." Zhao Zhijing laughed. "I originally thought that Young Hero Ling's claim to the territory was to provoke my Quanzhen Sect, but now it seems that his real intention was not what it seemed. He was taking advantage of his proximity to the sect. Haha, Young Hero Ling really has a good plan."

"Is that so?" Zhen Zhibing's heart was bleeding: "Then I really must congratulate Young Hero Ling."

“Congratulations are indeed in order.” Zhao Zhijing nodded, and said with some regret, “It’s a pity that the conflict between my Quanzhen Sect and the Ancient Tomb Sect is too deep, so I cannot be there to offer my congratulations.”

"..." Zhen Zhibing really didn't want to talk about this anymore. Every word he spoke felt like it would shorten his lifespan. He clasped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Zhao, I have just returned to my sect and am a little tired."

"Oh?" Zhao Zhijing immediately apologized, "It was my fault, Junior Brother Zhen, please go and rest! Would you like me to bring you dinner?"

Zhen Zhibing's eyes turned cold, and he said indifferently, "No need. I still have the strength to eat."

"Junior Brother Zhen, please don't force yourself. You should know that not forcing things is also a form of cultivation," Zhao Zhijing said meaningfully.

Zhen Zhibing sneered: "What Senior Brother Zhao says is true, so Senior Brother Zhao doesn't need to force me to do anything."

"Why is Junior Brother Zhen still angry?" Zhao Zhijing chuckled and said, "It's my fault. If I've upset Junior Brother Zhen, I apologize to you."

Zhen Zhibing wished he could stab him to death with a sword, but he waved his sleeve and said, "No need, it has nothing to do with Senior Brother Zhao."

The two parted unhappily.

……

As evening approached, Ling Chi and his group returned to the cabin with a cartload of goods. Hong Lingbo was guarding the cabin at this time. Upon seeing Ling Chi return, she bid farewell to Xiaolongnu and the other two girls and fled back to the ancient tomb like a rabbit.

Ling Chi: "..."

Since New Year's Day, Xiaolongnu has been living in the small wooden house, and now the actual owner of the ancient tomb has become Hong Lingbo, a character who is somewhat of a supporting role.

Xiaolongnu cared deeply for Hong Lingbo. For the past few years, she had her sleep on the Cold Jade Bed to cultivate her internal energy, and she also taught her all the martial arts of the Ancient Tomb Sect except for the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.

Despite Hong Lingbo's fearful demeanor when she met Ling Chi, her martial arts skills were actually those of a top-tier second-rate master in the martial arts world, comparable to the top disciples of the third generation of the Quanzhen Sect.

With Xiaolongnu's upcoming marriage, Hong Lingbo is likely to succeed her as the new master of the Ancient Tomb Sect. She herself seems to be mentally prepared for this.

The martial world is dangerous, and death can come at any moment. She had no other desires than to find refuge and a place to live within the Ancient Tomb Sect.

In the living room, Xiaolongnu and Lu Wushuang were taking stock of the various items they had bought that day. Shuang'er chatted with them for a few minutes before going into the kitchen.

Looking at Ling Chi who was busy, she asked softly, "Brother, do you not like the Taoist priest we met at the foot of the mountain?"

Ling Chi turned to look at her, and her eyes seemed a little off.

“How could a decent man like me like men?” Ling Chi laughed.

"..." Shuang'er rolled her eyes slightly and said coquettishly, "Brother~~~~"

"Alright, alright." The little girl's coquettishness was irresistible. Ling Chi immediately surrendered: "I really don't like him. It's because his dog eyes keep staring at Long'er. I guess he's lustful."

Upon hearing this, Shuang'er's eyes darkened.

“But it’s no wonder, Long’er is so beautiful, what man could resist her?” Ling Chi smiled faintly, but the corners of his mouth gradually turned down: “But he is a Taoist priest who has become a monk, which is unforgivable.”

"Brother is going to kill him?" Shuang'er asked.

“Killing him is not necessary.” Ling Chi shook his head and said, “At most, we can cut off the root of his troubles and let him be a good Taoist priest and stop thinking about other people’s wives all day long.”

Shuang'er nodded, turned around and walked out of the kitchen, going upstairs.

……

In the dead of night, all was quiet.

Zhen Zhibing tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The thought of that beautiful woman made him feel uneasy: such a heavenly woman was about to get married. How unfair was Heaven to me, Zhen Zhibing?

The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. Zhen Zhibing got up and left the bedroom, secretly heading towards the Ancient Tomb Sect.

He wanted to see Xiaolongnu from afar, even just for a moment.

On his way to the ancient tomb, he encountered a short, masked man dressed in black.

The masked man in black seemed somewhat surprised to see him, but then launched an attack.

Zhen Zhibing was both shocked and furious, never expecting to encounter such a cowardly and treacherous person in the Zhongnan Mountains.

How do the disciples usually patrol the area?

In his shock and anger, Zhen Zhibing made up his mind that once he returned, he would inform the sect leader to strengthen the patrols of Zhongnan Mountain and not allow even a single suspicious person to appear.

But before he could finish his thought, he saw the masked man in black flash a dagger in front of him and then disappear into the bushes.

"..."

tick tock...tick tock...

"..."

At that moment, the full moon hung high in the sky, its bright light illuminating the night as if it were daytime. Zhen Zhibing saw the blood on his hands, then looked down and saw the blood that had just fallen to the ground...

The next moment, the pain shot straight to my brain.

"ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

……

Two days later, Ling Chi went to the Quanzhen Sect to return the books and borrow a few more for research.

But as soon as he arrived at the Quanzhen Sect, he noticed that something was off.

"Young Master Ling has arrived." The gatekeeper breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Ling Chi and greeted him with clasped hands.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the Quanzhen Sect's state of martial law, Ling Chi asked, "Are you in trouble?"

"To be honest, Young Hero Ling, we have indeed encountered some trouble." The gatekeeper disciple said with great indignation, "The night before last, some villains broke into Quanzhen Sect with malicious intent. Fortunately, Senior Brother Zhen Zhibing discovered them and scared the villains away, but when Senior Brother Zhen chased after them, he was ambushed..."

"Ah!?" Ling Chi was extremely surprised: "Master Zhen is dead?"

"No," the gatekeeper shook his head.

"..."

Ling Chi slapped him on the head and said angrily, "Why is it not as tragic as you say?"

The gatekeeper cried out in pain, but dared not resist. Everyone knew that this great demon king had once ravaged the entire Quanzhen Sect without sustaining a scratch. Faced with his rage, they could only endure it.

"Although he's not dead, he's practically dead." The gatekeeper explained through tears, "Senior Brother Zhen... he..."

Ling Chi raised his fist.

The gatekeeper hurriedly said, "He has been castrated."

"???"

When Ling Chi saw Zhen Zhibing again, she couldn't bear to look at him.

That's terrible, absolutely terrible.

Two days ago, when they met at the foot of the mountain, Zhen Zhibing was in high spirits, but now he was lying on the bed with a pale face, his genitals were a mess, and the room was filled with a pungent smell.

It is said that Zhen Zhibing has been in a coma for most of the past two days, and his disciples have been taking care of his bodily functions. He can only be fed liquid food to keep him from starving to death.

The room smelled terrible, so Ling Chi took one look and came out. He took a few breaths of fresh air, shook his head, and turned his back to everyone, saying, "Master Zhen, you've suffered."

Hold it in, don't laugh.

Have compassion, have love.

puff--

Seeing Ling Chi turn away and 'sobbing,' the Quanzhen Sect disciples were deeply moved: "Young Hero Ling, there's no need for this. Although Senior Brother Zhen has suffered misfortune, it is his destiny. Young Hero Ling, please don't be too sad."

"..."

Ling Chi wiped away his unfounded tears and sighed to the heavens, "It's just that Master Zhen has suffered." He paused, "Master Zhen's miserable state is too much for me to bear. Please tell Master Zhen to take good care of himself and I will come to visit him again after he has recovered."

"Young Master Ling, you are very kind. We will certainly pass on your message."

……

When Ling Chi returned to the cabin, he finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Zhen Zhibing, Zhen Zhibing, you've finally met your match!

Serves you right! Let's see how you manage to be a dragon knight now.

Little Dragon Girl looked bewildered: "Brother Ling, why are you laughing?"

"Ahem, no." Realizing his lapse in composure, Ling Chi stopped laughing and said, "I just couldn't help but laugh because I was thinking about how our good days are coming soon."

Upon hearing this, Xiaolongnu blushed deeply, leaned gently against his shoulder, and felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

Lu Wushuang snapped off a tree branch and threw it into the fireplace: "Burn you to death! Burn you to death! Burn you to death!"

"..." Shuang'er smiled slightly and silently began sewing a mandarin duck embroidered pillow.

……

The fact that Zhen Zhibing was castrated was not publicized, as it was a shameful matter that would damage the reputation of the Quanzhen Sect. However, for a period of time afterward, the Quanzhen Sect tightened its patrols of Zhongnan Mountain, and anyone who showed any suspicious behavior was forcibly interrogated.

Surprisingly, they actually found some individuals and groups with ill intentions towards the Quanzhen Sect.

As the foremost Taoist sect in the world, the Quanzhen Sect is naturally prone to attracting jealousy and resentment, and some hostile forces are inevitable. In the past, the Quanzhen Sect would simply turn a blind eye to such behavior, but after the Zhen Zhibing incident, if these people still dare to loiter around Zhongnan Mountain, they can only blame themselves for their misfortune.

In a short time, the Quanzhen Sect's domineering style of doing things spread, causing quite a stir in the martial arts world.

Ling Chi paid no attention to those matters of the martial arts world.

In the warm spring of March, Ling Chi and Xiao Longnv held an extremely simple, even shabby, wedding.

On this day, the two wore bright red wedding attire, paid respects to the memorial tablets of Lin Chaoying and Xiaolongnu's master, and then bowed to heaven and earth. After that, they left the ancient tomb and had a meal with Shuang'er, Lu Wushuang, and Hong Lingbo in a small wooden house, thus concluding the wedding.

That night, Xiaolongnu frowned deeply.

……

The days of their honeymoon were sweet. Even though Xiaolongnu was naturally aloof, she couldn't resist the love between a man and a woman, and the two truly enjoyed a wonderful period of intimacy.
