Chapter 14: If There Are Good Days, They Must Be Lived

Ning Xuan pocketed the “Ghost Shadow Horse Monkey blood” and the “mysterious Buddha statue,” considering them his gains for the time being.

However, the real gain was a complete understanding of the “Heavenly Demon Record refinement” and “demons.”

Whether it was the “Heavenly Demon is about to arrive” and “Heavenly Demon has arrived” mentioned in the [Heavenly Demon Record], the “native” mentioned by the Ghost Shadow Horse Monkey, or the “this is also Black Wind Mountain” said by the bear demon, all of these allowed Ning Xuan to naturally deduce a terrifying fact.

That is… all of this might just be the beginning.

Many demons had already appeared.

But this was not the end, but the beginning.

The environment he had lived in for sixteen years would become more and more unfamiliar.

A strong sense of fatigue and tension washed over him, and the wound on his back and waist was burning with pain. He couldn’t wait to lie in the arms of his maids, one on the left and one on the right, and take a nap amidst the maids’ coquettish voices of “Young Master, Young Master.”

However, he still glanced in the direction of the fighting.

The yellow-robed Taoist, with a pure golden luster under his feet, levitated in mid-air, his eyes closed, his expression serious as he formed a hand seal. Five invisible golden snakes shot out from the ground, tightly binding the limbs and neck of the black bear demon from before.

However, it was only binding.

There was no killing power.

The black bear’s constitution was very strong, but it was still tightly bound, unable to move, and could only shout, “Save me, save me!!”

Han Ba and the others were holding repeating crossbows, their faces solemn as they shot at the bear demon from a distance…

Drops of sweat were flowing down their foreheads.

The black bear demon struggled more and more fiercely.

The yellow-robed Taoist’s body trembled, but he did not open his eyes. He muttered to himself, and his whole body exuded an even more detached and otherworldly calm.

And the two Taoist boys by his side were tense, holding long swords, and blocking the periphery, obviously on guard against other demons.

The chains clanged incessantly, but as the bear demon’s injuries increased, it slowly stopped struggling and fell into a pool of blood.

‘Is this extraordinary power?’

This was the first time Ning Xuan knew that his world had this kind of power.

And it seemed that his father, in all likelihood, also possessed this kind of power.

He became more and more curious, why didn’t his father teach him?

He was his father’s biological son.

Although he was thinking, there was nothing worth staying for here.

He turned and flew away…

He couldn’t wait any longer.

He familiarly washed himself in the mountain spring, changed his clothes, came to Star River County, and got into the carriage that was waiting at the county gate.

When Xiao Jie saw him return safely, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Young Master, you worried me to death.”

Xiao Jie patted her chest.

Ning Xuan said, “Back to the residence.”

That night…

Under the peach blossom tree in the backyard of the Ning residence, in the bathtub, Ning Xuan wore only a pair of white underpants, and his whole body was bathed in a warm soup that was neither hot nor cold.

His arms were outstretched, and there was a maid on each side holding them, gently kneading his tense muscles to relieve the fatigue of the day.

His head was tilted back, but it was not resting on the hard edge of the bathtub, which would have been painful. Instead, his whole head was resting on a pair of long, fair legs.

Through the silk clothes, he smelled the fragrance emanating from the owner of the long legs. He could tell that this fragrance was the new “Peach Blossom Dew” from “Butterfly Fragrance,” but it was not the “Rose Dew” that could evoke his memory of the half-dead body.

A peach blossom petal drifted down from the peach blossom tree, landed on the surface of the steaming water, and created ripples.

It also landed on the hair of the owner of the long legs, who was sitting on a high-legged chair.

Ning Xuan raised his hand and plucked the peach blossom for her.

Just then, a sturdy maid on the side brought hot water and said respectfully, “Young Master, adding water.”

“Add it.”

With permission, the maid slowly poured the hot water into the wooden tub.

However, the water in the wooden tub was already full, and at this time, it overflowed, soaking the skirts of the surrounding maids.

The silk skirt on the waist and hips of the owner of the long legs also got wet, and everything inside was faintly visible.

She suddenly twisted her body and giggled.

Her laughter was soft and sweet, and very pleasant to the ear.

Ning Xuan felt as if he had fallen into a stormy sea, an indescribable feeling. He smiled and said, “You can always play some new tricks on me.”

The owner of the chest was Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie giggled and said softly, “I said it during the day.”

Ning Xuan said, “I remember.”

Xiao Jie leaned closer and bit his ear, saying, “Tomorrow, I will definitely make it so that the young master can’t get out of bed.”

When she was anxiously waiting in the carriage today, she had already made up her mind. She must not let the young master go out on an adventure again. She was going to go all out, to stake everything on one throw.

The maids who were kneading Ning Xuan’s hands on the side were fuming with anger.

In their eyes, that vixen was so pretentious, seducing the young master, it was truly corrupting the Ning family’s style and was disgusting.

But no matter how much they disliked Xiao Jie, they had to admit that this vixen Xiao Jie was really a vixen, so much so that she could probably easily seduce any man. Her every frown and smile could make a man’s heart pound and remember her for a lifetime.

The night grew deeper…

Ning Xuan finally found relaxation in Xiao Jie.

This relaxation made him jump back from the previous nightmare and slaughter.

He was still him, a vulgar young master, and definitely not that ruthless and cunning monster who only thought about how to kill his enemies.

He comfortably hugged the petite Xiao Jie and fell into a dream.

When it was almost dawn, Ning Xuan suddenly felt something unusual. He opened his eyes and saw that Xiao Jie had gotten up at some point.

Not only had Xiao Jie gotten up, but she was also quickly tying his limbs with silk ribbons.

The other end of the silk ribbon was tied to the bedpost in a dead knot, very firm, and definitely not something the pretty boy Ning Xuan could break free from.

Ning Xuan’s opening his eyes made Xiao Jie panic.

Her eyes rolled, and she lay down again, saying softly, “Young Master, let’s play something more fun. This servant girl will definitely make you happy.”

Ning Xuan said, “I’m not going out today.”

Xiao Jie’s eyes lit up and she said, “Really?”

Ning Xuan said, “Really.”

The matter was resolved, he was injured, and the yellow-robed Taoist and Han Ba were still dealing with it outside. He would naturally not go out recently.

Xiao Jie glanced at the silk ribbons that were tying his hands and feet, and suddenly raised her hand and quickly untied them. Then, like a deflated ball, she “gurgled” and threw herself back into Ning Xuan’s arms.

She had tied Ning Xuan up because she was worried that he would go out again.

And after tying him up, she would definitely have to do her best to appease the young master’s anger.

But since the young master was not going out, then forget it.

Ning Xuan said, “Didn’t you say you wanted to play something more fun?”

Xiao Jie said, “This servant girl is so tired.”

After speaking, she really fell asleep at once, like a weak and harmless little bird that anyone could easily crush, sleeping in Ning Xuan’s arms.

Any man holding such a woman would have a sense of accomplishment.

What’s more, such a woman also knew her place and was full of tricks. If there were really vixens in the world, they would have to be inferior by three points.

Ning Xuan slept until the hour of the snake.

Xiao Jie, however, had sore legs and a sore waist.

She was surprised and repeatedly kneaded the young master’s thigh, feeling the strong and tough strength, and showed a bitter smile.

Ning Xuan reminded her, “I’ve already added money, a full fifteen taels more a month, that’s not a small amount.”

Xiao Jie said, “This servant girl is just curious if the young master has had some kind of fortuitous encounter?”

But after speaking, she hurriedly covered her mouth, “Pah pah pah,” and said, “This servant girl is not curious.”

The reason she had misspoken was because the young master was too amazing last night.

So amazing that he was like a giant bear.

This had exhausted her.

She had slept until now, but the more she slept, the more her body ached.

Ning Xuan, on the other hand, stretched his body refreshedly.

Xiao Jie took a deep breath, endured the pain in her body, gritted her teeth, and sucked in a cold breath, then got up to dress and comb his hair.

After going out and having breakfast, he waved his wide sleeves and ran outside, shouting as he ran, “Where is my Golden-Winged Thunder Duke? Where is the Golden-Winged Thunder Duke?! Golden-Winged Thunder Duke!!”

In a short while, a guard carefully brought a large iron cage.

In the iron cage, there was a proud and vigorous rooster. The edges of the rooster’s wing feathers were golden, its tail feathers were short and hard as iron, and its comb was as high as a flame.

“Young Master, here it is, here it is.” The guard smiled obsequiously.

Ning Xuan waved his hand and said, “Let’s go to war! Today, I will definitely take my Golden-Winged Thunder Duke and kill them all without leaving a single one behind!”

“Good!”

“Good!”

“Good!”

A group of lackeys hurriedly followed and shouted, and then rushed out with the young master.

Speaking of which, the young master hadn’t fought cocks for almost a month.
