Chapter 103: Lan YuYi Returns
Chapter 103: Lan YuYi Returns
In modern times, those who don't know how to pretend to be drunk are embarrassed to say that they've ever been in a drinking scene.
You Longsheng certainly knew how to feign inebriation, and given his status, no one would force more alcohol on him after seeing him in such a state.
And so, when Ding Baiyun reluctantly helped You Longsheng back to the guest room, he pulled her onto the bed.
"You're not drunk?"
"Such bland wine, I wouldn't get drunk even if I drank another jar."
"Xue Bin just said you can't hold your liquor." There was a hint of unhappiness in Ding Baiyun's tone; no one was allowed to speak ill of her lover!
You Longsheng laughed heartily. "Let him say what he wants. I have better martial arts than him, a thicker wallet, and most importantly, my wife is more beautiful than his. Shouldn't he be allowed to find some solace elsewhere?"
A smile played at the corners of Ding Baiyun's eyes, and then she leaned down to seal You Longsheng's mouth with hers.
...
The next day, You Longsheng, accompanied by Ding Baiyun, accepted another invitation to visit Baiyun Manor before returning to Cangjian Manor.
"Little Rascal?"
"Lan Jie!"
You Longsheng opened his arms, and Lan YuYi flew into his embrace. Ding Baiyun chose to ignore this display.
Lan YuYi and You Longsheng shared a deep kiss, after which Lan YuYi panted and turned to Ding Baiyun, winking mischievously. "Did you get him?"
A flush crept up Ding Baiyun's cheeks, but she nodded lightly.
You Longsheng's hand trailed along Lan YuYi's curves, narrowing and widening his grip, until Lan YuYi playfully slapped his hand away. Only then did he retract it, taking Lan YuYi's hand in his and pouting, "You won't leave without saying goodbye this time, will you?"
"I missed you, so I came to spend the New Year with you!" Lan YuYi laughed, "I hope I'm not interrupting anything?"
Ding Baiyun quickly shook her head. "Of course not."
You Longsheng raised an eyebrow and murmured, "One person can't handle Baiyun."
Ding Baiyun couldn't help but ball her fist and give You Longsheng a playful punch, while Lan YuYi laughed and rested her head on You Longsheng's shoulder.
Not far away, You Teng looked on enviously. His wife had almost scratched his face off when she found out about his last visit to Chunfeng Tower for entertainment.
How did the Manor Lord manage to get these two famously renowned women of the martial arts world to get along so harmoniously?
...
In the quiet of the night, the sounds of panting gradually subsided.
"I heard you killed the South Sea Madame as well?" Lan YuYi asked.
"How did you find out?" You Longsheng asked, then couldn't help but reach out and caress her, creating ripples of desire, "You really only come when you need something. Don't tell me another expert has their eyes on me?"
On the other side, Ding Baiyun poked her head out, her cheeks flushed with shame. But when it came to You Longsheng's safety, she was always concerned.
"Not this time." Lan YuYi shook her head, but her laughter faded, "It was South Sea Madame's disciple, Tie Gu, who went to find Zhizun Bao. She wanted to enlist his help to take revenge on you, but he refused and instead told me a secret."
"What secret?" Ding Baiyun couldn't help but ask.
"Dahuaxiyi Bodhisattva and South Sea Madame are both from the Demon Sect." Lan YuYi said in a low voice, "They are two of the Four Princesses of the Demon Sect."
"The Demon Sect again." Ding Baiyun frowned, "Why are they so persistent? They seem to be everywhere."
Everyone knew that Yu Xiaodao was the Ban Chabana Love and Desire Heavenly King of the Demon Sect, and he had already informed Lan YuYi of this during their previous meeting.
But only You Longsheng, who was familiar with the original story, knew that Dahuaxiyi Bodhisattva and South Sea Madame were also members of the Demon Sect. Of course, he couldn't tell everyone why he knew this.
But it seemed that Lan YuYi now knew as well.
Lan YuYi nodded, "Tie Gu tried to persuade Zhizun Bao to return to the Demon Sect and use their power to take revenge on you, but he refused."
You Longsheng, who knew the plot, immediately grasped the key point, "Return to the Demon Sect?"
"Dahuaxiyi Bodhisattva and South Sea Madame are indeed two of the Four Princesses of the Demon Sect. But ever since the Demon Sect was scattered, these two lineages have broken away from the sect and formed their own independent factions." Lan YuYi explained.
"Zhizun Bao refused, but what about this Tie Gu? Does she plan to return to the Demon Sect herself and seek revenge on Brother Long?"
Ding Baiyun's eyes flickered with realization, "But rather Zhizun Bao, who had separated from the Demon Sect!"
"Exactly," Lan YuYi nodded in agreement. "Zhizun Bao doesn't possess the martial arts prowess of Dahuaxiyi Bodhisattva, and she wouldn't be able to withstand the full force of the Demon Sect's retaliation." She continued, "So, Zhizun Bao played along with Tie Gu, and then sought me out."
You Longsheng had already guessed what had transpired subsequently, but he couldn't help but ask, "And then?"
"Then Zhizun Bao and I joined forces and set a trap, killing Tie Gu," Lan YuYi said. "It was only after we killed her that we discovered that not only was she a disciple of the South Sea Madame, but she was also a princess of the Demon Sect herself."
"What?!" Ding Baiyun exclaimed, surprised.
Lan YuYi explained, "Tie Gu's master was also one of the Four Princesses of the Demon Sect, and she had never left the sect. After her death, she ordered Tie Gu to clean house. So, Tie Gu sought an opportunity to become a disciple of the South Sea Madame, intending to learn her skills and then find a chance to assassinate her. However, before she could find such an opportunity, the South Sea Madame died at the hands of Little Rascal."
"Since she also wanted to kill the South Sea Madame, isn't it all well that she's dead now?" Ding Baiyun asked, puzzled. "Then why did she want to take revenge on you, Brother Long?"
"Because the Demon Sect's internal relationships are complicated," Lan YuYi coldly smiled. "She wanted to use the opportunity to pull Zhizun Bao into the Demon Sect as her assistant, and she also wanted to annex Little Rascal's family property to increase the power of her lineage. Not much skill, but quite ambitious."
You Longsheng asked, "How do you know all this so clearly?"
"Of course, Tie Gu told us before she died, as she didn't want to die yet, and she also threatened us with the Demon Sect," Lan YuYi said. "Unfortunately, neither Zhizun Bao nor I am the type to leave loose ends."
And so, Tie Gu met her end.
Threatening ordinary people with the Demon Sect might work, as in the eyes of ordinary people in the martial arts world, the Demon Sect represented mystery, strangeness, terror, and evil.
However, in the eyes of true masters and powerful factions, the Demon Sect was fragmented and in disarray. While they had no shortage of skilled practitioners, they dared not openly show their faces in front of the established powers of the Central Plains.
On the other hand, not only was Zhizun Bao's martial arts prowess considerable, but she had also sought help from Lan YuYi, who was ranked among the top ten in the 'Arsenal Ranking'. As long as the Demon Sect didn't unite to cause her trouble, she had nothing to fear.
Would the Demon Sect ever unite? Not in a million years! Unless another charismatic and ambitious leader emerged!
But if there were such a leader, Zhizun Bao would have submitted herself long ago. There was no need for coercion.
"So, Tie Gu just died like that?" You Longsheng was still bewildered.
Although several famous experts from the original novel had died by his hands, Tie Gu was the first expert to die outside due to the butterfly effect he had caused.
At least her appearance in 'September Eagle Soaring' was quite impressive, even if her death was rather pathetic...
"Yes, she's dead," Lan YuYi smiled, her eyebrows raised.
Killing a princess of the Demon Sect gave Lan YuYi a great sense of accomplishment.
"If Tie Gu had led a group of Demon Sect experts to ambush me, I would've been in great danger. You've saved my life," You Longsheng said seriously, nodding. "Your husband will express his gratitude properly!"
"Ah~~~"
