Once Bai Yuyan had had her fill of playing, she sat directly on a rock, stretched out her foot, and had Chu Feng put her shoes back on.
Faced with this request, Chu Feng found no reason to refuse.
When he held Senior Sister Yuyan’s delicate foot, her toes curled slightly, looking rather cute.
Compared to Sister Tiantian’s, hers was naturally a bit inferior, but not by much. Especially how soft it felt. It made him think that this pair of soft, delicate feet was very suitable for… stepping on or pinching something.
After Chu Feng helped Bai Yuyan put her shoes on, her face was slightly flushed, and her beautiful eyes looked moist and glistening.
After quite a while, Protector Hu finally arrived late.
However, compared to before, Protector Hu now looked listless.
Because early this morning, he had received an order from the Empress: for the next hundred years, he was forbidden from taking any concubines. Otherwise, he would be castrated with a single stroke.
Upon hearing this order, Protector Hu felt as if the sky had collapsed. He only had a little over fifty concubines so far. Not being allowed to take any more for a hundred years was unbearable…but still better than being castrated.
Seeing Protector Hu’s sickly appearance, Chu Feng wondered. Was this really the same devilishly muscular tiger he knew?
Could it be that he had discovered the protein powder he’d been drinking all along was actually milk powder?
“Protector Hu, if you’re not feeling well, I can go train with the Green Snake Demon King instead.”
Chu Feng recalled that the rabbit-eared girl had addressed the green-haired woman that way.
Now that there was a Green Snake… could there also be a White Snake?
However, when he learned that the green-haired woman whose beauty was only slightly inferior to Sister Tiantian was actually a Green Snake in her true form, he suddenly understood Xu Xian. He even felt like becoming Xu Xian himself, a bold and reckless hero.
Of course, these thoughts could only remain in his mind. He definitely couldn’t say them in front of Sister Tiantian, or he’d be as good as dead.
“Human boy, don’t worry. I’m fine.”
Protector Hu patted his chest, producing dull thumping sounds.
Then, Protector Hu took out a stone specially used for training.

Great Yan Empire, Imperial Palace.
Ji Yuhuang lay on a reclining chair with a facial mask applied to her face.
She had ordered the imperial physicians to specially develop it. Although with her current cultivation, she had no need to worry about aging at all, taking care of her skin was still necessary. After all, that fox vixen, the Demon Empress, was extremely skilled at charming hearts.
Several palace maids stood nearby, ready to carry out her orders at any time.
Just as she finished applying the mask, a familiar figure entered her view.
“What brings you here?”
Ji Yuhuang looked at the graceful Lu Xiyue and asked.
“I just happened to pass by,” Lu Xiyue replied.
Ji Yuhuang let out a scoff upon hearing this and said, “Oh, please. Do you think I’d believe that? One doesn’t visit the temple without a reason. You came because of my little husband, didn’t you?”
“Since you already understand, then let’s hear it.”
Lu Xiyue sat down across from Ji Yuhuang as she spoke.
“Sure. I painstakingly gathered all this intelligence, and with just a word from you, I’m supposed to hand it all over? You’re dreaming a bit too much.”
Ji Yuhuang said irritably. This Lu Xiyue wanted to reap the benefits without effort and take ready-made information from her….no way. She had to pay an appropriate price.
Lu Xiyue naturally understood Ji Yuhuang’s temperament, so she had come prepared with bargaining chips.
She took out a recording stone from her bosom and said calmly, “Recordings of Feng’er bathing when he first entered Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect. Three days’ worth.”
Ji Yuhuang raised an eyebrow, her gaze slowly falling on the recording stone before she withdrew it. “Lu Xiyue, is that all? I’ve already devoured my little husband completely. Do you think I’d care about this?”
Of course, that wasn’t all. Lu Xiyue took out a jade box. After opening it, inside was a pill. It was pure white and was radiating a soft glow.
“A fertility pill, personally refined by the Holy Master of Yaochi Sacred Land. Even experts at the eighth rank would find it effective.”
This single pill from Lu Xiyue was undoubtedly a bombshell, making it impossible for Ji Yuhuang to look away.
In the cultivation world, as one’s cultivation level increased, the chances of pregnancy became smaller, especially after reaching the seventh rank, where it was nearly zero.
To conceive, one either needed heaven-defying luck or relied on sheer persistence, which meant daily effort leading to a qualitative change.
However, both methods had extremely low chances of success. There was a third method, with the highest probability: high-grade fertility pills.
But that required high-level alchemists to refine. Ji Yuhuang was currently at the eighth rank, so the alchemist would also need to be at least eighth rank.
Even for a fertility pill refined by an eighth-rank alchemist, just gathering the materials was incredibly difficult. The treasury of the Great Yan Empire hadn’t even been able to assemble them.
The most crucial ingredient can only be harvested once every ten thousand years. After ages of continuous gathering in the cultivation world, it has now become exceedingly rare.
“Good. Not a bad bargaining chip…I like it.”
Ji Yuhuang directly accepted the pill. Hmph…when the time comes, as long as she’s the first to conceive, she’ll be the principal wife!
With a flick of her finger, a jade slip flew toward Lu Xiyue.
“The information collected here was gathered by my intelligence network. The sources are highly reliable.”
Lu Xiyue took the jade slip and sent her divine sense into it. A moment later, she opened her eyes.
“A bunch of ants courting death.”
She looked at Ji Yuhuang. “So, have you made your preparations?”
Ji Yuhuang sighed. “Declaring war on the number one sect of the righteous path requires thorough preparation. Don’t forget….in our past life, they weren’t just deeply tied to the Buddhist and Daoist factions; they also secretly cooperated with the demonic path. Even within the demon race, they had informants.”
Lu Xiyue let out a cold snort. “A bunch of hypocrites. They flaunt themselves as the foremost righteous sect, yet their methods in the shadows are even crueler than the demonic path.”
Ji Yuhuang picked up the teacup beside her and took a light sip. “No rush. When dealing with a beast, you first pull out its fangs and claws. As for the demon race’s informant, with that fox vixen’s methods… it’s about time she made her move to deal with it.”
The number one sect of the righteous path. In their past life, Lin Ruo became its Holy Son. Backed by that sect, he gathered resources from more than half the cultivation world and ultimately ascended to become a Great Emperor.
Although Chu Feng’s title as Sword Immortal resounded throughout the cultivation world, the power backing him was much weaker. Among the human superpowers, only Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect and the Great Yan Empire supported him.
On the demon race’s side, Su Tiantian naturally stood firmly with him, but the remaining thirty percent had been won over by Lin Ruo.
Chu Feng’s most famous battle was when he single-handedly, with just one sword, stormed the number one sect of the righteous path.
In that battle, he shattered what was known as the strongest force in the cultivation world. Many of the sect’s ninth-rank ancestors fell one after another. If not for the presence of a Great Emperor, the title of “number one” would have long since changed hands.
In the end, even while at a disadvantage, Chu Feng relied on his strength as the Sword Immortal to forcibly deter all factions led by the number one righteous sect from acting rashly. Some even claimed that his power had surpassed that of a Great Emperor.
In the final battle, Chu Feng did not want to drag down the demon race, Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect, or the Great Yan Empire. If he failed, they would suffer retaliation from the number one righteous sect.
In the end, even a fierce tiger cannot withstand a pack of wolves.
Now that they have been reborn in this life, that so-called number one righteous sect must be completely eradicated!
