I, who was turned into a woman by the Jade Maiden Master, want to rebel against the Heavenly Gang.

"What you need to do most right now is to get out of this predicament and gain your freedom. Junior Sister Nangong and I are here to help you."

"Can Senior Sister Gan help me?" Qin Rufeng meant whether he could use Gan Mingyue's identity as a Thunder Sound Guard to help her.

However, Gan Mingyue shook her head, "Rufeng, I understand what you mean. Of course I can help you. I would rather die for my fellow disciples."

“But the Thunder Sound Guard can’t help you. The Wind and Thunder Guards have no subordinate relationship and only obey His Majesty’s orders. Although I have some connections with some people, I’m not at the point where I would drag others into danger.”

"As for Cloud Palace... it's because of the Blood Cloud Bounty that it has a good relationship with Yuan Mengli, which is actually not good for you."

"I can only try to use my status as a Thunder Guard and your reputation as a Qin Immortal to hope that the Cloud Palace won't interfere. And Her Majesty the Empress is even less likely to get involved in this matter."

Qin Rufeng understood that Empress Cangyun needed to maintain a balance of power among the various factions. Interfering arbitrarily in the internal affairs of Qingyuefang would arouse suspicion from other sects and undermine stability.

Gan Mingyue continued, "Within the Cangyun Mountain region, all those below the Golden Core stage are slaves."

"Even if you cultivate to the Golden Core stage, Yuan Mengli will not let you go. But as long as you are not a slave, you are theoretically free."

"If Yuan Mengli wants to control you, she can only use excuses like paying off debts. That way, she can't stop me from redeeming you. And the price isn't something she can set arbitrarily."

"Not to mention others, those Qingfang and Hongfang have long been envious of Qingyuefang's huge profits because of you."

“If you leave as a free person, and Yuan Mengli makes things difficult for you, the members of the Immortal Sect will be the first to object. They will all rush to uphold justice for you.”

"Whether we can invite you to join us or not, they would be overjoyed if we could just let you leave Qingyuefang."

"After all, rivals are competitors. As Qingyue Pavilion's popularity declines, customers will naturally be diverted to other immortal sect pavilions."

Gan Mingyue's words made sense, but Qin Rufeng remained silent...

Seeing her reaction, Nangong Yue said, "I know, you want to save Feng Hua, right?"

"She has taken good care of you, and you saved her from danger, which shows your kindness and loyalty. We will definitely help you. But if you want to confront Yuan Mengli head-on, you will need to improve your Golden Core realm."

Qin Rufeng frowned slightly, a cold glint in his eyes. "I'm not just going to save Feng Hua. I will also never let Yuan Mengli go... This isn't just to vent my anger, but because she definitely won't let me go."

"If she doesn't die, I'll never have a peaceful day. Since that's the case, I won't let her go first."

“Good! That’s how it should be!” Nangong Yue said. “I know that courtesan named Shangguan Qingxue has the water-attribute treasure you need.”

"So you're still missing a fire-attribute treasure, right? Don't worry, I've got that covered." Nangong Yue said this with surprising confidence.

Qin Rufeng asked curiously, "What method does Senior Sister have? Since it is a rare and precious material, it must be extremely difficult to obtain. Feng Hua has a high level of cultivation and travels thousands of miles a day, running around for many days before she finally helped me find the [Heavenly Gang Profound Iron].

Nangong Yue laughed and said, "Don't worry about that. Just figure out how to deal with that courtesan and get the water-attribute treasure yourself."

Qin Rufeng nodded. "With a master helping me, I'm naturally at ease."

Gan Mingyue continued, "Once you have gathered all five elements of rare and precious materials, remember, do not break through here."

"No one can disturb you when you break through to a higher realm. Yuan Mengli won't let you break through in peace. We'll have to use force to get you out of Qingyuefang, and then... will you have anywhere to hide?"

"If not, I'll risk everything and take you to the Star-Picking Tower. That's Her Majesty the Empress's palace. With your reputation and beauty... oh no, your skills, after explaining the situation, even if Her Majesty herself intervenes, you'll have a chance to stay, right?"

"No, there's no need to drag my senior sister into this," Qin Rufeng said. "If I can escape Qingyuefang, I have a safe place to go."

Nangong Yue: "Where?"

Qin Rufeng: "Netherworld Palace." (This is followed by a seemingly unrelated phrase: "Attracting the ball~ Flag Furniture Wine Four-Pick Dad")

Gan Mingyue's eyes widened upon hearing the name... Qin Rufeng then realized that he had forgotten Cangyun City's attitude towards the Netherworld Palace.

She was about to speak when Gan Mingyue stopped her, saying, "No need to say anything, Rufeng. I know what I'm doing."

"I serve as a member of the Thunder Sound Guard to repay Her Majesty the Empress's kindness. However, I am still a disciple of the Jade Maiden Sect's Hou Tu Hall, and even Her Majesty knows this. She has also praised the Jade Maiden Sect Master Shen Yu Chen, whose name she has heard of even in the Western Ring."

"I would do anything to save my fellow disciples. Whether you go to the Star-Picking Tower or the Netherworld Palace, I will fight to the death to protect you."

Hearing Senior Sister Gan's heartfelt words, Qin Rufeng's eyes welled up with tears again. Nangong Yue leaned forward and gently wiped away Rufeng's tears.

Next, Qin Rufeng brewed tea and poured wine, and the three sisters talked all night long.

It was late at night when Nangong Yue suddenly said, "Alright, it's getting late. Shouldn't we... get some rest?"

A charming smile graced her face. As she spoke, she gently pulled Qin Rufeng's gauze robe off her shoulders...

The atmosphere instantly turned sour. Qin Rufeng looked at Gan Mingyue in surprise, only to see that she had also removed her armor.

Chapter 163 A Moment of Carelessness

"Senior Sister Gan?" Qin Rufeng panicked. Gan Mingyue had already come up behind Rufeng and hugged her from behind.

Qin Rufeng was surprised and tried to turn around, but Nangong Yue grabbed his chin and turned his head back.

A splash of rouge caught her eye. Before Ru Feng could even react, she was already kissed...

"Uuuuu~"

Qin Rufeng thought to himself, "This is bad..." He was so happy to see his two senior sisters that he forgot to cover his eyes, and the incense had long since gone out.

Is this karmic fire power so strong that even the two senior sisters at the Golden Core stage couldn't withstand it?

"Mmm~ Shi Tie, you don't want it~~ Mmm..."

"What are you saying?" Nangong Yue spoke as she pressed herself against Rufeng, while Gan Mingyue hugged her tightly from behind. The two senior sisters trapped Rufeng in the middle, unable to move. Her feet were almost off the ground.

"Senior sister, no..."

"Don't want it?" Nangong Yue laughed. "Do you know how many spirit stones we spent to see you?"

“That’s right, Ru Feng,” Gan Mingyue said. “I borrowed these spirit stones. Of course, I can’t let them go to waste. This is a huge sum of money to buy your first time, Fairy Qin.”

"Senior Sister Gan...you!" Qin Rufeng's face was already flushed. She really couldn't believe that Senior Sister Gan Mingyue, with her "thick eyebrows and big eyes," would say such a thing.

Clearly, her passive charm had already caused the two worlds to lose their minds and become confused.

“Yes, yes~” Nangong Yue said, tugging at Qin Rufeng’s bell tassel, “You have to serve your two older sisters well.”

"Senior sisters, please listen to me," Qin Rufeng hurriedly explained, "It's all my fault, it's my karmic fire and inner demons... ugh ugh ugh."

Qin Rufeng's mouth was gagged, and he couldn't explain...

A moment later, she struggled free, like a drowning person just breaking the surface of the water, "Someone's here, I hear it... someone's coming."

Gan Mingyue said, "I noticed it too. It must be that Master Yuan was worried and sent someone to eavesdrop, right?"

"In that case... we'll have to make this a real show. To avoid being suspected of exposing our plan, Rufeng, you'll have to put up with this."

Qin Rufeng thought to himself, "You call this a charade? You're not even letting me breathe properly... If you were to actually do it, wouldn't that kill me?"

Nangong Yue added, "Also, I was just wondering how you're going to get a water-attribute treasure from Shangguan Qingxue."

"Xia Jinghong said you and she have a good relationship. In that case, why don't you try to play the victim?"

Qin Rufeng: "A self-inflicted injury ploy?!"

"Shh..." Nangong Yue gestured for silence, then used a red ribbon to gag Ru Feng. She then began to wrap and bind Ru Feng's body.

Qin Rufeng: "Mmm mmm"

Nangong Yue deliberately spoke loudly, "Fairy Liu, you only regard her as a zither fairy... what a waste of talent!"

"Don't resist anymore, your sister and I will take good care of you."

As they were talking, Nangong Yue actually tied Qin Rufeng upside down to a chair.

Qin Rufeng lay face down on the chair. Her head was tilted back and her long hair hung to the ground. Her hands were tied to the chair legs, and her legs were spread apart, bent, and tied to the back of the chair.

Qin Rufeng resisted fiercely, making a great commotion. The people outside stayed by the window for a while before leaving.

Ru Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The person is gone, Senior Sister, please let me up."

However, Nangong Yue did not answer, but instead produced a red candle from somewhere...

She smiled and said, "Ru Feng, you should use the rare and precious materials you've obtained as soon as possible. For example, the Dust-Falling Fruit you mentioned, you should eat it first. This won't delay your breakthrough; on the contrary, it will prevent others from taking it away."

As she spoke, Nangong Yue lit the candles...

Qin Rufeng sensed the powerful spiritual energy and asked in surprise, "Senior Sister, what is this?"

"The Candle Dragon Fire," Nangong Yue said. "I told you I'd leave any fire-attribute treasures to me. Did you think I was just saying that?"

"This is a supreme treasure of the fire attribute. I risked my life to snatch it from the belly of the Void Beast. I originally planned to keep it for myself when I broke through to the Flowing Cloud Realm, but now I'm giving it to you, my dear junior sister."

Qin Rufeng: "I will never forget Senior Sister's kindness. But this candle... should it be lit?"

Nangong Yue laughed and said, "As I just said, we should use up our treasures as soon as possible. This Candle Dragon Fire gathers fire to form candles and melts candles to form wax. Ru Feng... you'll be a good candlestick tonight."

Qin 5 Jiu Ling P Ou Shui Qi Yi Yi San Ru Feng understood; those who had been passively charmed by her were not so easy to wake up from.

I didn't want to offend my two senior sisters, but since they insisted on sending it... I can't blame my junior sister.

……

Before I knew it, most of the night had passed.

A bright moon hung in the sky outside the window, while the candles inside had long since gone out. Qin Rufeng sat in a high-backed chair, his lower abdomen throbbing uncomfortably.

Two fair-skinned senior sisters were tied together with red silk ribbons, and lay like jade ornaments on the wet floor.

Qin Rufeng's left foot was planted on Nangong Shijie's flattened snow rabbit, while her right foot stomped on Gan Shijie's millstone-like white pig. Her heart-shaped eyes emitted a pinkish glow. In the end, the two senior sisters were no match for this succubus.

The next morning, my senior sister took advantage of the situation to get a little revenge.

No sooner had they left than Shangguan Qingxue, completely unaware of the danger, rushed into Ruyan Pavilion. The scene before her filled her with both rage and profound grief…

Qin Rufeng was bound with red silk like a rice dumpling and hung from the roof beam.

The red silk tightly bound her snow-white skin... Not only that, but Ru Feng's body was also covered with wax marks.

"Ruyan! Ruyan! Sister!" Shangguan Qingxue saw that Qin Rufeng's eyes were glazed over and she could no longer speak, so she sadly hugged her and cried.

Qin Rufeng realized he'd overacted; it was all Nangong Yue's fault for insisting on this self-inflicted injury ruse. He knew Qingxue would be furious when she found out the truth.

She quickly comforted her, "Sister, don't cry, I'm fine."

Qin Rufeng herself didn't believe it was nothing. She could only lay her cards on the table and say, "Sister Qingxue, I need to break through to the Golden Core Realm. Otherwise, I will never be able to escape this fate of being bullied by others."

"My five elemental spiritual roots require corresponding rare and precious materials. I have obtained four of them so far..."

Without saying a word, Shangguan Qingxue took out the [Tears of a Thousand Years] and handed it to Qin Rufeng, saying, "Rufeng, I've known for a long time that you've been working hard to cultivate and seek a breakthrough. Fenghua has also been collecting rare and precious materials for you."

"I'm willing to help you... but do you think you can defeat the brothel owner?"

"It's not a matter of whether I can win or not, it's that I am her mortal enemy! It's not because of resentment, but because she won't let me go."

Qin Rufeng spoke clearly, word by word, and Shangguan Qingxue listened with trepidation.

Ru Feng grasped Qing Xue's hands and said, "I'm not entirely without support; I have outside help. And I've been making preparations myself."

"If I defeat Yuan Mengli, I will give you Qingyuefang. If I cannot defeat her, my sister can tie me up and hand me over to the brothel owner."

"She's dealt with me, so she'll definitely need you to keep Qingyuefang's business going. You'll be fine. So, Sister Qingxue... please stand on my side and help me!"

Chapter 164 isn't finished yet!

Shangguan Qingxue said seriously, "If you want me to help you, don't say that last sentence. The chances of winning by standing on your side are very small. It's like sacrificing your stable but precarious future for a dangerous but more hopeful one."

"What do you mean I'll tie you up and hand you over to the brothel owner?"

"Ruyan, don't underestimate me. I am also a cultivator, and I was once devoted to the Dao. If I stand on your side, there is no turning back. How can you say I won't be in trouble?"

“Come on, Ruyan.” Shangguan Qingxue revealed a determined smile. “I think I will never meet someone like you again… so I can’t lose you. Let’s rebel together and fight for a more hopeful future.”

Qin Rufeng: "Sister Qingxue..."

Shangguan Qingxue immediately gestured for a stop and said seriously, "Calm down and stop talking nonsense. Tell me what your plan is?"

Qin Rufeng said, "First, obtain your Thousand-Year Tear, then find a way to escape."

Qingxue asked again, "And what happened after you escaped?"

Qin Rufeng: "Hide in the Netherworld Palace for now and improve your cultivation to the Golden Core Realm. Once you reach the Golden Core Realm, you can form a higher-level contract with Feng Hua."

"The Netherworld Palace?" Shangguan Qingxue frowned slightly. "You actually have dealings with the Netherworld Palace? When did this start?"

Qin Rufeng said, "Sister, do you remember the first time I went to a tea party with you? There was a woman wearing a black veil who insisted that I accompany her?"

Shangguan Qingxue suddenly realized, "That person is the Netherworld Witch?"

"Netherworld...Witch?" Qin Rufeng was somewhat speechless, wondering why Cang Shuyun had come up with such a nickname.

After thinking for a moment, Shangguan Qingxue said, "This plan sounds acceptable. Are there any difficulties or variables?"

“There are two possible variables,” Qin Rufeng said. “The first is how to escape Qingyuefang. I have two friends outside to help me, but the one with higher cultivation is only at the peak of the Golden Core stage.”

"Although we could call that... Netherworld Witch to help, she already faces enormous dangers entering Cangyun City, and if she's exposed, the trouble will only get worse."

“There’s no need to let her come,” Shangguan Qingxue said decisively. “I can help you with that, so don’t worry too much. What about the second variable?”
