Chapter 48: Hidden Family? “Female Flying Thief” Bai Yufei (6.0K words – large chapter)

Xiao Jie had rendered a meritorious service.

And Qin Yi’er’s words had awakened him from a dream.

Ning Xuan decided to grant Xiao Jie’s wish and raise this tea king in his own back residence. This could be considered as arranging a great general to guard the rear.

Thus, he took a concubine.

Xiao Jie became his concubine.

After becoming a concubine, Xiao Jie no longer talked about going to a distant place. She held Ning Xuan’s face, looked at him affectionately, and then asked, “The concubines of a large family sometimes have to accompany guests. That is, when a guest stays, and it is difficult to sleep alone, the concubine is needed to warm the bed, to have sex with the guest, and to enjoy each other’s company. Will my lord send me out?”

Ning Xuan thought for a long time and said in a deep voice, “You have to add money.”

Xiao Jie bit her lip, her eyes moist, and she tapped his chest with her small foot, “You’re annoying, you only know how to bully me. I was originally going to play a new trick with my lord, but my lord has really hurt my heart.”

Ning Xuan looked at her.

Among the flowers, there is a champion, and one branch surpasses all the others.

In the past, Ning Xuan did not think so.

But in these recent days, he had become a general, and no one could control him; he had moved to the opposite side of the Chenxiang Pavilion, which could be said to be the first to get the moon; he had really had fun for a long, long time, and it could be said that he had rolled in a hundred flowers, and only then did he realize that this statement was not false.

To put it simply: the pleasure that Xiao Jie alone could bring to a man was more than all the red-robed courtesans in the Chenxiang Pavilion combined.

It was as if even if you had climbed a hundred small hills, it was far from being comparable to climbing a distant mountain with beautiful spring scenery, a riot of colors, and a fragrant aroma everywhere.

She could always give you surprises.

She always made herself smell good, so that you would feel that the young lady in your arms was truly worthy of the name “soft jade and warm fragrance.”

When she slept in your arms, she was always like a light and nimble homing pigeon. Not only would she not bring you any pressure, but she would also make your male self-esteem swell.

Now, when Ning Xuan heard her speak, he asked curiously, “What is it?”

Xiao Jie did not answer.

She was angry.

You could see that her whole body was angry.

Her eyes were angry, her slender waist was angry, and even her crystal-clear and full toes were curled up in anger.

But you also knew that her anger was only to seduce you and let you get greater pleasure.

So, you really couldn’t be angry with her.

Ning Xuan began to coax her.

After coaxing and coaxing, Xiao Jie was finally coaxed into happiness.

She mysteriously jumped off the bed, pulled out the silk ribbon from the sandalwood rack, and threw it lightly towards the beam. After passing through, she stood on her tiptoes and tied herself up like a magic trick.

She was like a pitiful little flower swaying in the wind, charming and moving, and full of amorous feelings.

Ning Xuan looked at Xiao Jie at this time and was happy, “I’m really defeated by you.”

He walked over and went behind Xiao Jie.

He looked at this petite and exquisite body and approached without any hesitation.

Xiao Jie had her own story.

Her previous performance was nothing. This time, in the battle of the harem, the means she used to drive Qin Yi’er out were really not like an ordinary woman, and the way she threw the silk ribbon just now was very unique.

The silk ribbon was extremely light. Let alone a woman, even a man would have to try many times to successfully throw it onto the beam, but Xiao Jie only needed one time, and her movements had an indescribable elegance.

Ning Xuan had plenty of patience.

He would wait very patiently for this story of his little concubine.

After Xiao Jie was “promoted,” it could be said that “a new official has three fires.”

And Ning Xuan’s life also began to change. He no longer ran to the Chenxiang Pavilion opposite.

Because Xiao Jie was more fun than the Chenxiang Pavilion opposite combined, and he never got tired of playing with her. She was really a rare little demon.

He liked little demons.

He looked down on those who were weaker than little demons.

It was as if he could easily run faster than a horse, so he no longer liked to ride horses; he could easily hunt the fierce beasts in the mountains, so he no longer liked hawks and hounds; as for cockfighting, what was the point?

It was the same principle.

Thus, Ning Xuan had a feeling that “although Wangyue Prefecture is large, there is nothing to play with.” He resumed his simple daily routine.

He came to the wilderness.

Between a lofty mountain range.

He first summoned the Heavenly Demon Record of the Incense-Stealing Mouse, which made his spirit become “5.5,” and then he swallowed the “Incense-Stealing Mouse pill” refined by Immortal Aunt Yaozhen with the “dragon fire of one prefecture.”

After most of the day, he had completely digested this pill.

Why did he know that he had digested it?

It was only because after he withdrew the Heavenly Demon Record, his spirit had changed from the original “1” to “5.”

The method of “letting the strong lead the weak” was obviously also quite feasible in the matter of “consuming pills.”

Afterwards, he directly summoned the Heavenly Demon Record of the “White Mountain Zen Master” and began to train.

Long-distance running, weight-bearing, push-ups, sit-ups…

Ning Xuan carried out fulfilling training every day.

When it was dusk, he would go back.

At this time, Xiao Jie would always prepare a comfortable medicinal bath for him.

Not only did it wash away the smell of sweat, but it also relaxed the muscles and activated the blood, and vented his mood.

Many beautiful young ladies would help him bathe together, some from the Chenxiang Pavilion, and some from unknown places.

These were all arranged by Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie was always proving her value, letting Ning Xuan understand: with her, one woman, it was equivalent to having countless women.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

The chirping of cicadas was like a heavy rain, becoming more and more noisy.

Today, Ning Xuan did not go out again.

Because, he had nothing left to practice.

He had already digested all the power he could digest.

At this time, he lay lazily on the rattan chair, and Xiao Jie sat on the rattan chair opposite him, revealing her fair thighs.

The rattan chair swayed, and two maids fanned the General and “Madam Jie” from behind.

Although Xiao Jie was a concubine, everyone in the mansion called her “Madam Jie,” because almost everything in this mansion did not bypass “Madam Jie,” and even this mansion was bought by “Madam Jie.”

The creaking of the rocking chair, the fanning of the round fans, and the chirping of the cicadas and the breathing of the maids formed a scene that made people sleepy in the afternoon.

The sunlight passed through the gaps in the green leaves of the trees, and the mottled sunlight swayed onto Ning Xuan’s body.

Ning Xuan suddenly thought of Immortal Aunt Yaozhen. It seemed that he hadn’t seen her for a while since she gave him the demon pill and told him the secret decree that day. So he moved his lips and asked through the “whisper chain,” “Where are you busy?”

After asking, there was no response.

After a long time, an angry reply came from the other side.

“Of course, I’m acting as a foreign aid, guarding the periphery of the Frozen Hell and suppressing the demons!”

Ning Xuan was not surprised.

After so long, he had learned a lot about Immortal Aunt Yaozhen.

Although Immortal Aunt Yaozhen was his partner, her identity as a “Son of Heaven’s walker” was actually prioritized over “partner.” The dragon qi she needed for cultivation was also directly allocated by the Son of Heaven, so she was naturally loyal to the Son of Heaven.

However, he was also quite happy.

This Immortal Aunt Yaozhen seemed to be a cold and aloof fairy when he first met her, but now it seemed that she was clearly a punching bag, and she was always angry. Now, her words were still full of resentment, as if she was blaming him for having the audacity to shrink in Wangyue Prefecture and do nothing.

Ning Xuan took a big sip of the iced sour plum soup on the table, and then yawned comfortably.

He was just shrinking in Wangyue Prefecture, and he wouldn’t risk his life. So what?

He casually glanced at the panel:

[Ning Xuan]

[Life (Constitution): 10]

[Nature (Spirit): 5]

Everything had reached the peak that could be reached at present.

As for why the White Mountain Zen Master, that white mountain bear demon, was looking for a weapon, he also understood.

The reason was very simple…

When his constitution reached 10, he felt an indescribable “clumsiness.”

This clumsiness was not to say that his speed was slower than ordinary people, or his reaction was slower.

On the contrary, his speed and reaction were like a god in the eyes of ordinary people.

But… this was far from enough, at least not worthy of a “constitution 10” body.

It was like a child suddenly having the body of a strong man. You could wave your fists randomly, but you couldn’t exert your true power at all. So… a weapon was very necessary.

“An inch longer, an inch stronger,” suddenly became applicable again.

Of course, a weapon that could match a “constitution 10” expert was naturally not an ordinary weapon. Just like Ning Xuan’s flying knife, it could at least traverse the sky like a flying sword.

But Ning Xuan felt that even with a weapon as a supplement, the “clumsiness” itself had not been resolved. It was like a fat otaku who couldn’t exert his power, so… he chose to carry two pistols.

“Let Liu Shirong come and see me once.”

Ning Xuan ordered.

Since he was involved in a series of things, his former fox friend had gone to do business for the first time. Now that he had stabilized, that fox friend should also come back.

A few days later…

To Ning Xuan’s great surprise, he did not wait for Liu Shirong, but for a group of uninvited guests.

It was a group of people who exuded the aura of the martial world, but also had a bit of inexplicable arrogance.

The leader was a young man. He was wearing a very traditional martial artist’s tight-fitting clothes, and a green jade was hanging from his waist. The green jade was as warm and moist as condensed ice, and as it swayed, there was a strange luster flowing, which made people feel calm even if they just looked at it, and they knew that it was not an ordinary thing.

Although the young man was arrogant, he was not arrogant. He reported his family name according to the etiquette, calling himself a disciple of the hidden Qiao family, and said that he had something important to see General An Yuan.

Ning Xuan received this disciple of the Qiao family.

In the reception hall…

Ning Xuan sat in the middle seat. This was the first time he had received a guest so formally.

And behind the young disciple of the Qiao family stood four burly men. The four men were all wrapped in animal skins, and they stood proudly with their hands behind their backs. Although their eyes were calm, they were filled with a bit of madness.

Ning Xuan knew at a glance that these four were demonic plague martial artists.

Ning Xuan was immediately interested in a young man who could make four demonic plague martial artists act as servants and willingly stand behind him.

After all, he wanted to explore the outside world.

This hidden family that suddenly came to his door was of course a good opportunity.

The disciple of the Qiao family saw the “interest” in Ning Xuan’s eyes. He smiled faintly and said, “The Qiao family’s reputation is not prominent, and we often hide in the mountains and fields. The General may have never heard of it… but, the Qiao family has existed for longer than Wangyue Prefecture.

Wangyue Prefecture was a name that was only decided sixty years ago when the late emperor re-determined the boundaries of the prefectures and states. And my Qiao family had already existed at that time. Speaking of which, our two places are not far apart, and we can be considered neighbors.”

Ning Xuan squinted at him, his lips moved, and he directly asked in a whisper, “Have you heard of the Qiao family next to Wangyue Prefecture?”

Immortal Aunt Yaozhen’s voice came quickly.

“I haven’t heard of it. This poor Taoist is in some danger here. You suddenly spoke, which really scared me.”

Ning Xuan said curiously, “You really haven’t heard of it?”

Immortal Aunt Yaozhen thought for a moment and said, “Perhaps it is a small family in the martial world, scattered in the mortal world, which is not surprising.”

The “whisper” was obviously a relatively high-end thing, and the disciple of the Qiao family did not see through it.

He stood up gracefully, and the four demonic plague martial artists stood even straighter when they saw him stand up.

The disciple of the Qiao family said, “Roll on the ground.”

The four demonic plague martial artists showed hesitation on their faces.

The disciple of the Qiao family suddenly grabbed the green jade from his waist, held it in his hand, and flicked his finger.

A crisp sound spread out.

The four demonic plague martial artists suddenly no longer hesitated. The four big men all came out and rolled on the ground without any regard for their faces, and then stood up and returned to behind the disciple of the Qiao family.

The disciple of the Qiao family smiled and said, “I heard that although the General is brave, he has no available soldiers under him. These four servants of mine will be a meeting gift for the General. We can have more exchanges in the future.”

Ning Xuan said, “I won’t accept a reward without merit. What do you want?”

The disciple of the Qiao family said, “It’s nothing, it’s just that the General has a concubine named Xiao Jie. The General can just hand this woman over to us.

Speaking of which, this woman has ulterior motives and has been deceiving the General.”

Ning Xuan said, “Oh?”

The disciple of the Qiao family said, “Her original name was Bai Yufei. She is a cunning female flying thief, and her reputation in the martial world is notorious. She is being pursued by our families.

I think the General will not tolerate such a cunning female thief, so why not do us a favor and hand her over to us to deal with.”

Ning Xuan said, “Who told you that Xiao Jie is the ‘female flying thief’ Bai Yufei?”

The disciple of the Qiao family said, “A Madam Jie of a general’s residence is still enough for us to find out about.”

Of course, Ning Xuan did not believe this nonsense.

He closed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the armrest.

Soon, a name popped into his mind – Qin Yi’er.

Xiao Jie had been fine for so many years. Recently, the only person she could have offended, and who could also expose her background, was the third miss of the Great General Qin’s residence – Qin Yi’er.

After a few thoughts, Ning Xuan opened his eyes.

The disciple of the Qiao family said with a polite smile, “General, this woman seems to be kind, but she is actually cunning. Keeping her by your side is like a farmer warming a snake. You don’t know when you will be bitten back… Has the General’s family lost anything important?”

This politeness also carried a bit of arrogant pride from a deep foundation.

He was being aggressive in a very decent way.

He had obviously learned about this general from some channels.

A martial artist who was not in the ranks, was timid and afraid of trouble, and had even requested a reduction of one place to avoid the demons.

Ning Xuan said, “Then I have to thank you.”

The disciple of the Qiao family said, “There is no need for that. We have all been harmed, and distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.”

He emphasized the words “close neighbors” again.

Ning Xuan said, “After all, she is my concubine, and she has done a lot for me. If you want to take her, you have to try your hand first, right?”

The disciple of the Qiao family frowned slightly and said, “General, didn’t I say that this woman… is cunning.”

He emphasized the word “cunning” again.

Ning Xuan smiled and ignored this nonsense.

The disciple of the Qiao family stood with his hands behind his back, tit for tat.

Ning Xuan said politely, “It is impossible to take someone away from my general’s residence for no reason. No matter what the situation is, it is impossible. Let’s try our hands. Have you brought anyone today?”

The disciple of the Qiao family glanced at the four demonic plague martial artists behind him and said, “I have four people, is that enough?”

Ning Xuan said, “Then let’s try.”

After speaking, his body leaned back slightly, and he looked down at the four demonic plague martial artists. His aura locked on, and then his fingers began to tap the armrest.

Thump… thump thump…

Every time he tapped the armrest, a layer of his restrained qi and blood was released.

When his qi and blood spread to the standard of “constitution 2.5,” the four demonic plague martial artists’ whole bodies tensed up, and their faces were stiff, as if a wolf had seen a tiger. Their eyes were filled with a kind of “strong on the outside but weak on the inside, fierce in appearance but timid in heart” madness.

And when his qi and blood expanded to the standard of “constitution 3.5,” the four of them could no longer bear the pressure. They all hunched their backs, lowered their heads, and were so uneasy that they did not dare to look at him.

Ning Xuan roughly understood that the “constitution” of these four demonic plague martial artists should be less than 2.

To be infected with the power of demons and still not reach 2, it had to be said that they were really useless.

He withdrew his aura, glanced at the disciple of the Qiao family, and said with a smile, “Young Master Qiao, it seems that it’s not enough.”

The disciple of the Qiao family was stunned for a moment, and then saluted, “I am Qiao Ying. It seems that the General is not as the outside world says.”

Ning Xuan said, “Rumors stop at the wise. Young Master Qiao, do you want to try again?”

Qiao Ying thought for a moment and said, “I will visit the General again in a few days.”

After speaking, he stood up, grabbed the green jade pendant and hesitated for a moment, but still pressed it on the table, and then said, “Since it is a meeting gift, then it is a meeting gift.”

Ning Xuan stood up and said, “A guest from afar is a guest, and what’s more, you and I are close neighbors. Stay and have a drink.”

Qiao Ying sighed, “The General does not believe me. This wine is boring to drink. It is better to visit again another day.”

After speaking, he also saluted.

Ning Xuan made a “please” gesture.

Qiao Ying retreated.

After the person left, Ning Xuan glanced at the four demonic plague martial artists and said, “Follow me.”

The four hurriedly followed.

They came to a secluded place in the back courtyard of the general’s residence.

Ning Xuan suddenly flicked the green jade pendant with his finger and asked, “Why did Qiao Ying come here?”

A demonic plague martial artist said, “For the female flying thief Bai Yufei. She has stolen many things in the past and has offended many people.”

“Oh.”

Ning Xuan nodded, and then pointed at him, “Kill yourself.”

The demonic plague martial artist was stunned.

Ning Xuan flicked the green jade pendant.

Although the demonic plague martial artist still had a struggle on his face, he reacted extremely quickly and raised his hand to form a fist, and fiercely punched his heart.

Obviously, this green jade pendant seemed to be able to completely control him.

But in Ning Xuan’s opinion, this punch seemed fierce, but in fact… it would not kill him, at most it would injure him.

Thud.

Ning Xuan grabbed his hand.

The demonic plague martial artist breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thank you, master.”

Ning Xuan said “no need,” and then looked at the four people, “You all kill yourselves together.”

After speaking, he suddenly made a move that was beyond everyone’s expectations. He didn’t even wait for the four people to speak and quickly flicked the green jade pendant.

The four people were stunned on the spot.

Ning Xuan flicked too fast, so fast that they were not enough to react.

He didn’t react, but Ning Xuan did.

Ning Xuan’s aura was released, and it didn’t climb to the top. It just casually reached a level of six or seven, and the four people fell to their knees with a “thud.”

Ning Xuan said, “Tell the truth.”

One of the demonic plague martial artists said repeatedly, “Spare my life, General, spare my life. It was Young Master Qiao who promised us benefits, so we were willing to enter the general’s residence as an inside agent.”

Ning Xuan continued to increase his aura.

The air began to be filled with the smell of urine, and the four demonic plague martial artists’ trouser legs were all wet.

Immediately, the four of them confessed everything.

The truth was very simple. There was no Qiao family at all. That Qiao Ying was also a pseudonym. He was actually a young master of a martial world underground force called “Flying Eagle Tower,” Ma Yingxiao. The reason why he had pretended to be a big shot this time was indeed for Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie was indeed the “female flying thief” Bai Yufei, but what Bai Yufei had stolen, or even whether she had stolen anything, they did not know.

“Flying Eagle Tower” was an underground force in the martial world. Its headquarters was not in Wangyue Prefecture, but in an ownerless wilderness nearby. From this perspective, the “family” of the hidden family might be an exaggeration, but it could indeed be considered a “hidden family.”

The four of them, because the Flying Eagle Tower had mastered a means to “suppress the inner demons of demonic plague martial artists,” served the Flying Eagle Tower as offerings. This time, they came here as inside agents.

Afterwards, Ma Yingxiao would set up a trap outside to lure Ning Xuan out, and these four would take the opportunity to abduct Xiao Jie.

Originally, Ma Yingxiao had told them that “Ning Xuan’s strength is not in the ranks. Even if he is stronger than them, he will not be much stronger,” so they had agreed to come.

In front of an overwhelming expert, the weak could not hide anything.

Soon, Ning Xuan knew everything.

Then, he separated the four people and questioned them separately to verify some details. When he felt that there was nothing more to ask, he casually pointed out his finger.

His fingers, which he considered to be extremely clumsy, were as fast as lightning in the eyes of these four demonic plague martial artists.

Thump thump thump thump!

Four corpses fell to the ground.

A golden light surged from the ground, and a ghost-faced man appeared.

“Big Brother, lend me a hand.”

As he spoke, Ning Xuan went to get the iron shovel in the corner to prepare to bury the people.

Chou Nu’s body trembled, and he said, “Does the General still have to do this? I will deal with these four corpses. I guarantee that no one will know that they are dead now.”

Ning Xuan said, “That young master is really skilled and bold.”

Chou Nu said, “I heard everything.

This matter does not require the General to act. On this one-third of an acre of land in Wangyue Prefecture, he cannot escape.”

He thought for a moment, and then reminded in a deep voice, “General, Qin Yi’er has only been gone for a while, and Madam Jie’s background has been exposed. It is hard to say that there are no people from the Great General Qin’s residence secretly causing trouble behind this.”

“I had already guessed it.” Ning Xuan smiled and said, “Compared to this, I am more curious about what Xiao Jie has that makes people miss her so much.

Xiao Jie has been with me for almost three years. After three years, a secular force knew that she was in my mansion, knew that she was Madam Jie, and still dared to take such a risk to set up a trap.

Is my Ning family so weak that any cat or dog dares to come and touch me, to provoke me?”

Chou Nu said coldly, “The General can ask the madam about this matter. The Flying Eagle Tower… I will take people to deal with it.”

His tone was calm, but it revealed an indescribable ruthlessness. It was obvious that he had done this kind of thing many times.

Ning Xuan nodded and said, “Be careful.”

At this moment, he felt a little bit of resentment towards that emperor in his heart.

Did he have to write his strength as “not in the ranks”…

Wouldn’t it be good to write “first grade”?

Hiding too much would cause trouble.
