Ye Wudu was extremely satisfied.
Murong Wanyin’s talent was indeed astonishingly high.
At the very beginning, she had only been unfamiliar for a brief moment, but soon after, she grasped the key movements on her own without needing further guidance.
However, Murong Wanyin felt somewhat embarrassed. This time, the “firepower” had been a bit too strong… and it had ended up hitting her face.
No one could describe that scene… unless they had witnessed it personally.
Ye Wudu had been fortunate enough to see it, and it would remain unforgettable for the rest of his life.
After all, she was a proud and cold Female Sword Immortal… not an ordinary woman.
Murong Wanyin went to clean herself first.
Meanwhile, Ye Wudu lay quietly on the bed, savoring the aftertaste.
Not only was the Female Sword Immortal’s swordsmanship extraordinary… her “skills” were equally impressive. Truly admirable!
When Murong Wanyin returned, she seemed a little shy, lying silently without speaking.
Ye Wudu pulled her into his arms. Now that he had cultivation, he was no longer afraid of her body’s natural chill.
With his mind at ease, he could finally sleep peacefully.
Before long, Ye Wudu drifted into sleep.
As he slept, his hand unconsciously moved to a rather pleasant spot.
Seeing that he began touching her again after falling asleep, Murong Wanyin felt quite satisfied.
Sure enough… without those outside temptresses, he would return to normal.
At this point, she even felt that if Ye Wudu didn’t touch her while sleeping… that would be abnormal.
When Ye Wudu woke up, his wife was already gone.
After washing up, he began practicing his sword.
The system wouldn’t help him with swordsmanship, so he had to rely on his own effort.
Locust Tree Street…
Murong Wanyin set up her stall as usual.
The men who came to buy nougat were now much more restrained, only daring to steal glances at her.
After all, Ye Wudu now had status… the new gang leader of the Black Cloud Gang.
Though it wasn’t a prestigious identity, the common people were still afraid.
After Ye Wudu unified the two gangs, it was actually beneficial for the people.
The protection fee, which used to be collected twice a month, was now reduced to once.
“Xiao Wan, how is your husband’s strength now? Has he improved?”
When no one else was around, Zhang Douhua continued gossiping, quietly asking Murong Wanyin.
Having heard it many times, Murong Wanyin understood what she meant.
Thinking of last night, when she had used both hands and feet and Ye Wudu had lasted for half an hour, she replied, “Not bad.”
Zhang Douhua smiled knowingly, then suddenly changed the topic. “I heard your husband bought a courtyard on East Market Street. You should be careful.”
Murong Wanyin tilted her head slightly. “Careful of what?”
Zhang Douhua lowered her voice. “Look, your husband doesn’t even come to watch over you anymore. He’s living alone in a luxurious courtyard. Who knows if there are any temptresses keeping him company?” Read this novel at novelping.com for the best experience.
Murong Wanyin felt that Ye Wudu was probably practicing his sword right now and wouldn’t do such things.
Seeing she didn’t believe it, Zhang Douhua added, “Once a man has power, status, and money, shameless women will throw themselves at him. What man can resist that kind of temptation?”
Seeing that Murong Wanyin was listening seriously, she continued, “Think about it. He used to watch you every day, afraid you’d run away. Now he barely comes. Doesn’t that mean his heart is no longer fully with you?”
Murong Wanyin thought for a moment and replied, “He said he trusts me, so he won’t watch me anymore.”
Zhang Douhua scoffed. “You believe a man’s nonsense? Hasn’t he lied to you even once recently?”
Murong Wanyin immediately thought of how he had secretly gone out to sleep with the Courtesan Queen.
Seeing her frown, Zhang Douhua knew she had guessed correctly. “You’re just too naive. If a man can lie to you once, he can lie to you again. No matter how beautiful you are, how can you compare to the novelty of women outside?”
Murong Wanyin listened… and felt there was some truth to it.
Zhang Douhua had said before that even if a man had a heavenly beauty at home, he would still go out looking for other women.
And Ye Wudu had indeed done so before!
If Ye Wudu were here listening, he would probably slap Zhang Douhua across the face and shout: Why don’t you become the master manipulator instead?
A seed of doubt had already been planted in Murong Wanyin’s heart.
She began to wonder… was Ye Wudu really practicing his sword?
Or was he pretending to train while secretly meeting other women?
Once suspicion takes root, the mind easily spirals into wild thoughts.
She bought some vegetables. Even though her nougat hadn’t sold out, she hurried back home.
Zhang Douhua felt that Xiao Wan was intelligent and sensible, able to listen to advice.
She truly meant well… after all, with such a capable husband, why bother setting up a stall? The right mindset was to firmly hold onto her man…
When Murong Wanyin returned, Ye Wudu was indeed practicing his sword, and with great focus.
She thought to herself… so he really was practicing.
The doubts in her heart immediately disappeared.
She first guided him for a while, then went to cook, not wanting to interrupt his training.
Days passed like this…
In the blink of an eye, seven days went by.
Ye Wudu’s swordsmanship had improved greatly. Now, when he wielded the sword, he looked quite skilled.
Calculating the time, Li Mazi’s injuries should be almost healed.
It was about time…
A moonless, windy night…
Liu residence.
Although it was already midnight, Liu Yu had no intention of sleeping.
He had been closely observing the movements of Ye Wudu and his wife.
Not long after he returned from North Desolation Hall, Li Mazi had been released. He knew Xing Xiuyuan had intervened.
The next day, Ye Wudu had gone to North Desolation Hall.
Liu Yu sneered inwardly, convinced Ye Wudu was doomed.
But to his surprise, Ye Wudu had walked out alive… and Li Mazi had also been released!
Liu Yu couldn’t understand it at all.
Could it be that even Xing Xiuyuan feared that pretty boy?
Impossible!
In Starfall Province, there was no force stronger than the Abyssal Burial Palace!
Something felt off, but Liu Yu didn’t dare investigate rashly.
After all, it had only been a day or two. Perhaps Xing Xiuyuan had his own plans.
But after seven days passed with no movement, Liu Yu grew increasingly uneasy. He decided to visit North Desolation Hall tomorrow to find out the truth.
If that pretty boy truly couldn’t be provoked… he might have to flee in advance, even if it meant abandoning his family.
As long as he survived, there would always be a chance to rebuild.
At his age, fleeing to the outer city and starting a new family was still possible.
After all, cultivators lived longer than ordinary people.
Even at the 3rd stage Qi Refining Realm, living a hundred years wasn’t a problem… and Liu Yu was only forty.
By now, Liu Yu already had a bad premonition.
In truth, he had been cautious enough. If he had acted more rashly back at Tingwan Courtyard, he would already be dead.
“Master… Master, something’s wrong! People from the Black Cloud Gang… they’ve stormed in!”
While Liu Yu was deep in thought, a servant rushed in, his voice filled with panic.
Liu Yu’s face turned pale with disbelief. He pushed open the door and soon heard the sounds of battle.
Ye Wudu had led all the members of the Black Cloud Gang… around a hundred people… directly attacking the Liu residence.
Before the operation began, none of them could believe it. They were actually going to attack the Liu residence.
After all, everyone knew the Liu family had cultivators, while they were just a small group of ordinary people… the difference in strength was immense.
But since the gang leader dared to act, it meant he had confidence in dealing with Liu Yu.
That much was easy to understand.
Ye Wudu charged at the front, holding the Wenye Sword.
With a single slash, the heavy lacquered gate exploded along with its bolt, wood splinters flying everywhere.
The two gatekeepers didn’t even have time to react before fragments struck their faces, sending them screaming to the ground.
“Leave no one alive!”
Three cold words echoed through the night.
The Black Cloud Gang surged in like a flood, blades flashing as the front courtyard of the Liu residence lit up with killing intent.
The guards of the Liu residence rushed over, grabbing their weapons in panic.
The sharp clash of steel, screams, and furious shouts intertwined in the darkness.
At the center of this chaos, Ye Wudu remained calm… with a trace of excitement.
The first guard swung his blade, but before it could fall, a thin line had already appeared across his throat.
The guard’s eyes widened. His weapon clattered to the ground as he fell backward.
Ye Wudu didn’t slow down. In his hand, the Wenye Sword moved like a weightless black line… light, yet deadly.
Wherever it passed, the blade cut silently… and another corpse would fall…
