Chapter 61: The Jade Xiao Flute is Right Here, Come and Get it if You Dare
Yuxiao Daoren was in high spirits. He had not expected that towards the end of their journey through the Central Plains, not only would he gain control of the Zangjian Manor, but he'd also come across two unexpected delights.
While the Zangjian Manor might not be a top-tier power, it was a significant force in the iron and coal industry and the forging of weapons. It would be of great assistance to Yuxiao Daoren's ambitions of expanding his influence and engaging in overseas smuggling.
As for Youlong Sheng of the Zangjian Manor, he was as useless as a pillow used for embroidery. Despite his possibly decent martial arts skills, his rash and lustful nature made him insignificant. The killing of Yiku and Wudu Tongzi was most likely due to Li Xinhuan's efforts, with Youlong Sheng simply riding on his coattails to boost his reputation. Yuxiao Daoren's female disciples could easily manipulate him.
The acquisition of the Zangjian Manor was the first delight, and the second was none other than Ding Baiyun.
Despite Yuxiao Daoren's calm demeanor during the day, he had instantly taken a liking to Ding Baiyun. Her proud and aloof demeanor, admiring herself in solitude, exuded a cold and arrogant aura that far surpassed that of his female disciples.
Furthermore, with his discerning eye, Yuxiao Daoren could tell that Ding Baiyun was still a virgin!
If not for the presence of Ding Chengfeng, who seemed rather capable, Yuxiao Daoren might have already used his soul-captivating technique right there in the cabin during the day to have his way with Ding Baiyun.
However, waiting until nightfall added to the ambiance.
Yuxiao Daoren had already instructed his followers to light soul-soothing incense in the trio's rooms. By now, they should all be in a deep slumber. Youlong Sheng was of no concern, and Ding Chengfeng would sleep through the night until morning. But Ding Baiyun…
His soul-captivating technique had reached a high level of proficiency and would be more than sufficient to make Ding Baiyun forget everything that happened tonight.
Thus, after indulging with Yuqing and Yumei in his room, Yuxiao Daoren felt rejuvenated. He made his way to the rear cabin corridor with light footsteps and soon arrived at Ding Baiyun's room.
"Crack!"
With a gentle shake, he broke the wooden latch behind the door and pushed it open. The scent of the soul-soothing incense wafted out, and he could see Ding Baiyun lying on the bed, fast asleep.
However, to Yuxiao Daoren's surprise, the brocade quilt covering her only reached her chest, and she seemed to still be wearing her clothes.
"It doesn't matter," Yuxiao Daoren smiled as he drew out the white jade xiao flute from his waist. "I most enjoy undressing women." He placed the flute on the wooden table inside the room and then approached the bed.
Ding Baiyun slept soundly, her face a healthy pink, her breathing deep and even, and a faint smile played on her lips, as if she were dreaming of something pleasant.
"Of course, it's because she's dreaming of a romantic encounter with me," Yuxiao Daoren thought.
Noticing that Ding Baiyun had placed her hands on her chest and abdomen, he reached out and held her delicate hands, intending to lower them so he could untie her belt.
The next moment, Yuxiao Daoren was startled as Ding Baiyun suddenly moved. She grabbed his hands, and he felt a slight sting on his palms.
As Ding Baiyun opened her eyes, her gaze fixed on him, and she kicked at his vital parts. Yuxiao Daoren was shocked and horrified. He quickly retreated, using the momentum of his arm to fling Ding Baiyun away.
As Ding Baiyun was thrown across the room, she naturally released his hands. She flipped in mid-air, as light as a swallow, and touched the wall to steady herself, intending to grab the Baiyun Sword that was placed on the table.
Her speed was no match for Yuxiao Daoren's, especially as she had to go back and forth, while he had almost reached the table.
Just then, two loud crashes rang out as the window and door shattered simultaneously. Two sword lights, cold as the moon, illuminated Yuxiao Daoren's eyes.
Thus, the Jade Xiao Flute could only retreat immediately.
And indeed, being the tenth-ranked expert in the Catalogue of Deadly Weapons, even while charging at such a rapid speed, he was able to abruptly halt his momentum and spin like a top, tracing an arc to reach for the nearest target, Ding Baiyun.
Ding Baiyun's face paled. She knew she shouldn't have gone for her sword. The Jade Xiao Flute's martial arts were far more terrifying than she had imagined. That reaching hand of his implied multiple changes, and for a moment, she felt as if she had no means of evading him at all.
But just as the Jade Xiao Flute was about to get close to her, a sword suddenly appeared between them, its blade shimmering with seven sword shadows. It pointed directly at the Jade Xiao Flute's throat, heart, and dantian, while simultaneously blocking all his possible movements in every direction.
Through the sword light, the Jade Xiao Flute saw Youlong Sheng's handsome and carefree face, his eyes a mix of calm and excitement.
"Youlong Sheng!"
The Jade Xiao Flute's eyes widened in fury. How could he not have realized that he had been deceived by Youlong Sheng earlier?
"Greetings, senior. I've long heard that with your white jade xiao flute, you can seal acupuncture points like a sword or a brush, combining the strengths of thirteen different schools. Youlong Sheng has greatly admired this from afar. Now, with the moon so full and the wind so inviting, I humbly request that you impart your unmatched prowess upon me."
Youlong Sheng spoke rapidly, but his movements with the Youlong Sword were even faster. Employing the Seventy-Two Styles of Wind and Snow, he truly lived up to his name, becoming a tempest of wind and snow that prevented the Jade Xiao Flute from either grabbing Ding Baiyun or reaching for the white jade xiao flute on the table.
As his words landed, Ding Chengfeng's sword also arrived.
The Ding family's Linked Ring Quick Sword was also renowned throughout the martial arts world. Seeing Ding Baiyun nod at him, Ding Chengfeng, without aiming for merit but only to avoid fault, brandished his longsword, creating a sphere of sword light that firmly blocked off the path to the window that the Jade Xiao Flute might have used to escape.
Between Youlong Sheng and Ding Chengfeng, they achieved the effect of five or six people attacking at once.
However, the Jade Xiao Flute still maneuvered and weaved within the sword lights of the two men. This was partly due to the fact that they were firmly holding their ground without recklessly surging forward, but also because the Jade Xiao Flute's martial arts and body techniques were indeed exceptionally formidable.
With one in front and the other at the back, they echoed each other's moves, effectively pinning the Jade Xiao Flute in place, making it difficult for him to break through.
Hearing Youlong Sheng's words, the Jade Xiao Flute was furious. "If you want to experience my jade xiao, then let me get my hands on it!"
At this moment, Ding Baiyun had already circled the battlefield and reached the table. As she drew her longsword, she also picked up the white jade xiao flute, then both guarded against the possible rush of the Jade Xiao Flute's female disciples and watched the battle, providing support to the two men.
"Senior, please take it. I never said I wouldn't let you use the white jade xiao flute. Go ahead, don't be shy!"
To be honest, Youlong Sheng hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. The Jade Xiao Flute had actually placed the white jade xiao flute just a few steps away on the round table, but that short distance now seemed like an uncrossable gulf.
Hearing Youlong Sheng's taunt, the Jade Xiao Flute was so angry he felt like exploding.
And Ding Baiyun, for the first time, discovered that Youlong Sheng's chatter could be so pleasant to hear. Holding her longsword in one hand and playing with the white jade xiao flute in the other, she couldn't help but join in, "The jade xiao is right here in my hand. Come and get it if you dare!"
