Chapter 214: Chapter 131: Much Better_3

However, the most pressing matter at hand was to purchase a courtyard as soon as possible.

Even taking a bath required setting up a small partition in the courtyard, nearly running about naked.

Upon entering the house, Princess Yanrong had not yet awakened.

What astonished Jiang Shouzhong was that Qiuye was still unconscious, even though Xia He had transferred Yuan Qi to her for treatment for a while.

"Don’t worry, she’s just exhausted the aura of her life bead and needs rest."

Xia He softly said.

Jiang Shouzhong frowned, "Is her life bead different from yours? Does it not have the ability to heal autonomously?"

Xia He shook her head and explained, "Each of our four sisters has a unique life bead. Mine is for healing, while our third sister’s bead can enhance and amplify the power of secret techniques or martial skills."

And our eldest sister’s bead provides Yuan Qi. As long as there are living creatures within a hundred meters, including plants, birds, and animals, she can usurp and absorb their innate Yuan Qi for her own use during combat.

The youngest sister’s bead has the function of foresight. It’s not about foreseeing events, but during an attack, she can perceive the next move of the opponent in advance. In the world of martial arts, whether it’s boxing, swordsmanship, the flow of Qi through acupoints follows a specific pattern. Dong Xue can foresee the trajectory of the enemy’s next attack.

However, Dong Xue is somewhat indecisive by nature, so she can’t make good use of this ability. Only when the four of us sisters fight together, sensing each other, can we bring out the greatest effect."

Jiang Shouzhong looked intrigued, "So, when the four of you join forces, the power must be formidable."

Xia He nodded, "You could say that. Generally, when we four sisters confront an enemy together, we can match a master at the Sanctum Ascension level. Qiuye leads the attack, our eldest sister provides the Yuan Qi, I take care of the healing, and our youngest handles the contingencies. Missing any one of us just wouldn’t work."

Qiuye’s life bead consumes the most energy. Without our eldest sister’s support of Yuan Qi, once it’s exhausted, she would fall into unconsciousness. This time, she must have used her life bead to enhance the ’Reverting to Innate Breathing Skill,’ leading to depletion of her aura, which is why she’s fallen unconscious."

’Reverting to Innate Breathing Skill’ is a secret technique of the Kongtong Sect, usually used to conceal one’s aura and to assist others in hiding. If the life bead’s aura is used to enhance it, even high-level practitioners in the Feathered Transformation Realm can hardly detect it."

Jiang Shouzhong finally understood.

No wonder Qiuye had awakened, but fell into unconsciousness again after the ruins collapsed; at the time, he thought she was injured. Now it seemed that when the Yan Rong People appeared, Qiuye had been continuously concealing their presences, eventually exhausting all her energy and fainting.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shouzhong apologized, "Now that I’ve ruined your life bead, won’t the combined power of you four sisters be greatly diminished?"

Xia He sighed and didn’t respond.

At this moment, a young girl lying on the bed in a coma woke up.

It was Princess Yanrong.

Jiang Shouzhong had already used a rope to tie her up, and Mengniang had sealed several of her major acupoints, preventing her from using her cultivation power.

Initially, he thought that upon waking, after discovering her chastity was compromised, she would create a scene, curse him, and cry. However, surprisingly, she just coldly stared at the ceiling, seemingly void of any emotion.

Jiang Shouzhong, baffled, walked up to the girl and asked, "You have nothing to say?"

The girl pressed her lips tightly together, remaining silent.

Her expression was proud, as proud as a little peacock.

Even though she was tied up like a zongzi.

Jiang Shouzhong pulled over a chair and sat down in front of the bed, asking nonchalantly, "What would you have me do with you?"

She still did not speak.

Her proud demeanor seemed to degrade even looking at men.

Jiang Shouzhong stared strangely at the beautiful face of the young girl.

He noticed that something about her appearance had changed, not the features, but her aura—it no longer had the stunning impact that it initially had.

Although she was still beautiful, she seemed a notch lower.

Of course, Jiang Shouzhong didn’t know that Yelü Miaomiao previously had a very high cultivation because she was blessed by the presence of Junji T’ai-yi God.

In Yanrong, Junji T’ai-yi is regarded as the Fortune God.

Therefore, Yelü Miaomiao, blessed by the presence, naturally appeared to be full of good fortune, which made her seem a notch above any stunning beauty in terms of appearance.

To withstand the Heavenly Execution Formation, the presence’s power was scattered and disappeared. Without the fortune’s enhancement, she naturally lost that extra dazzle.

Seeing the girl ignoring him, Jiang Shouzhong said, "Aren’t you afraid I will kill you?"

Yelü Miaomiao finally showed a hint of emotion, only to twist her mouth disdainfully.

At this moment, in her eyes, the man beside her who had taken her virginity was nothing but a dog’s-tail grass stuck in the mud.

She, the pearl of the steppe, Princess Yanrong, the future empress... she had her dignity and pride.

And what was this man beside her?

Even though he had taken her body, she couldn’t care less to even glance at him.

Jiang Shouzhong, feeling the disdain and contempt from the girl’s superior gaze, said with a laugh, "The reason I am not killing you is because I have a nickname ’Sure Shot’. Confused? It means, just one wedding night is all it takes for me to impregnate a woman. So, for the sake of your child in the womb, I’ve decided to spare your life."

Upon hearing this, Yelü Miaomiao’s complexion finally changed.

She turned her head and started cursing Jiang Shouzhong.

First in the language of the Central Plains, then in Yan Rong language, babbling on. Although Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t understand, the raging anger in her words was palpable... She cursed as her tears started to fall uncontrollably, crying and cursing with venomous words.

"That’s the reaction I expected."

Jiang Shouzhong nodded in satisfaction.
