At that moment, Li Lingsu suddenly rushed over.
"Brothers, where is Li Tianwang?"
“Master won’t be here for a few days. What do you want to do?” Xu Qi’an asked.
"Is there anything I can do to help King Li? I'm willing to go through fire and water," Li Lingsu pleaded.
If I can do something for Li Chang'an, I can ask him for a favor when I see him.
"Go, find a musket for me and Scholar Chu, the same kind as yours," Xu Qi'an said expressionlessly.
"Alright!" The Holy Son, supporting his waist, left with a solemn expression.
After the Holy Son left, Li Miaozhen and the other two discussed their plans and then rested.
Not long after, Liu Yun hurriedly came to find Li Miaozhen.
"Master Li, the Commander-in-Chief has arrived and requests to see you."
The Commander of Leizhou, one of the three most powerful figures in the entire Leizhou region.
Li Miaozhen said without changing her expression, "Please invite him to the main hall and tell him I will be there immediately."
A quarter of an hour later, Yuan Yi, the commander of Leizhou, met the legendary Golden Eagle Heroine.
With his dark complexion and burly build, Yuan Yi nodded and said, "Master Li's reputation for chivalry is widespread. It is my honor to meet you today."
Leizhou is adjacent to the Western Regions, with 100,000 troops stationed there, and military towns are located everywhere.
The local commander-in-chief, in terms of both position and combat strength, is one rank higher than those of the prefectures.
Li Miaozhen asked bluntly, "Commander-in-Chief, have you come for the rare treasures of Sanhua Temple?"
Yuan Yi did not nod, but held his teacup and said leisurely, "How did you determine, Master Li, that treasure could help a fourth-rank cultivator break through to the extraordinary realm?"
He didn't really believe the rumors from Leizhou, but considering Li Miaozhen's reputation and his own desire for the third rank, he came with the attitude of "better safe than sorry".
Li Miaozhen smiled and said, "My lord, you misunderstand. Breaking through to the extraordinary realm is only the most insignificant effect of that treasure."
"Can this be explained?" Yuan Yi asked.
"Does Your Excellency know the details of the massacre in Chuzhou?"
"It is already common knowledge that the Prince of Zhenbei massacred the city to refine the Blood Pill."
"That explains it. The pagoda once suppressed the masters who were captured during the Battle of Shanhaiguan."
Those were all highly sought after by those of rank three or above, including even a rank two Rain Master.
"What does Master Li mean?"
"Now, those peerless masters have all been refined into blood pills and soul pills."
Therefore, Sanhua Temple closed its doors to visitors, prohibiting anyone from entering the pagoda.
Yuan Yi squinted and remained silent for a long time.
……
Leizhou Chamber of Commerce.
In Wenren Qianrou's boudoir, the Holy Son of the Heavenly Sect stood by the window, holding a wine cup.
"Rou'er, I have something important to do in Leizhou that concerns my happiness for the rest of my life. Would you be willing to help me?"
Wenren Qianrou combed her hair in front of the mirror, smiling faintly as she murmured "Mmm."
She wore a white undergarment, with rounded hips, a slender waist, and full breasts; from her appearance to her figure, she was an exceptionally beautiful woman.
"I am willing to help Li Lang with anything Rou'er has."
"Rou'er, I want two muskets, just like the one I have." Li Lingsu paused for a few seconds, then lowered her voice: "We must force our way into Sanhua Temple."
Wenren Qianrou felt a chill run down her spine. "Li Lang is a fourth-rank official, so it's only right that he ventures into the Sanhua Temple."
"The Leizhou Chamber of Commerce racked its brains and spent countless sums of money to finally obtain some crossbows and muskets from the government."
"But... since it is Li Lang's need, Rou'er will do her best."
The Holy Son of the Heavenly Sect glanced at his young lover and knew she had agreed. He immediately said, "Ah, my cultivation is sealed. I should break the seal as soon as possible. Rou'er, I'll go back to my room to cultivate first."
Wenren Qianrou suddenly came to her senses, her eyebrows furrowed, she grabbed the shawl on the table and flicked it with her hand.
The long shawl, like a whip, wrapped around Li Lingsu's neck and dragged him back.
"Li Lang, you've been in Leizhou for two days, yet you haven't touched me. Have you already grown tired of me? Or perhaps you have someone else in your heart?"
"No no."
"Hmph, I don't believe it."
"No, really. My heart will always belong to Rou'er."
"Then we'll see how you perform tonight."
The Holy Son rubbed his back, gritted his teeth, and lay down on the bed...
Beijing.
Lingbao Temple.
The air in Luo Yuheng's bedroom was filled with a delicate sandalwood fragrance.
Li Chang'an arrived through the void without Luo Yuheng noticing.
"The impact of the calamity is indeed significant," Li Chang'an remarked.
Using the dim light coming from the outer room, he walked to the table and lit the lamp wick.
Then, one by one, the two rows of candles beside the bed were lit. Clusters of bright flames burned, their hearts calm and their tips leaping, dispelling the darkness in the room.
On the soft brocade couch, Luo Yuheng lay on her side wearing a Taoist robe, revealing the alluring curves of a mature woman beneath the garment.
Li Chang'an's gaze moved from bottom to top, first to a pair of fair jade feet peeking out from under her skirt. The feet were beautifully rounded, with delicate and graceful toes, exquisite and refined, just like the finest jade artifacts in the world.
It makes you want to hold it in your hand and play with it.
Then comes the leg curve, rising all the way up to the side of the hips, where it suddenly tapers at the waist, creating a shapely and graceful silhouette.
Li Chang'an sighed inwardly, his gaze sweeping over Luo Yuheng's fair and slender neck before settling on her beautiful face.
She seemed a little hot, her cheeks were flushed, and she was covered in a thin layer of sweat, which glistened in the candlelight.
Her dark hair was spread out on the soft pillow, exuding a carefree beauty.
"Yu Heng?"
Li Chang'an sat down by the bed and called out softly.
Luo Yuheng moved her head slightly and murmured, "Li Lang, why are you here? The time hasn't come yet."
Li Chang'an reached out to touch her cheek, but Luo Yuheng grabbed his hand and pleaded.
"Chizi, take me to Chizi."
"The pool can dissolve my karmic fire."
Outside the bedroom, there was a pool, which Luo Yuheng often used to suppress Yue Huo.
Li Chang'an reached out and pressed his hand against Luo Yuheng's forehead. It was burning hot, as if a raging fire was scorching her body, turning her fair skin a tender red.
"I'm here, what do you need the pool for?" Li Chang'an pulled Luo Yuheng into his arms, letting her burning body lie in his embrace.
Luo Yuheng stretched out his other hand and placed it on Li Chang'an's chest.
"don't want……"
The voice was tinged with timidity, apprehension, and a reluctance to accept.
And a hint of pleading.
"Good girl, I know Yuheng doesn't want the pool."
Li Chang'an said softly, and then saw the passion in Luo Yuheng's eyes explode.
Chapter 400 Luo Yuheng: The Next Seven Days
Luo Yuheng stared at Li Chang'an, his eyes burning with a mixture of karmic and passionate fire, and the hand he had been supporting against Li Chang'an's chest went limp and powerless.
"Li Lang, it's you... You came a day early... just to see me make a fool of myself..."
These words, as if whispered from the throat, carried an irresistible allure.
Luo Yuheng vaguely felt that Li Chang'an had an air of confidence that he was determined to win her over from the first time they met.
It was this self-confidence that prevented her from facing reality, a pride that had always held her high.
The reality is that this man can easily extinguish the flames of passion, as long as one becomes one of his concubines.
After all that had happened, her feelings for Li Chang'an had completely overwhelmed her pride.
Her beautiful, expressive eyes were shrouded in a thick mist of tears.
"Li... Lang..." This call sounds like a declaration of love.
Li Chang'an moved closer to Luo Yuheng's fair and smooth face, cupped her slightly parted red lips, and held them firmly in his mouth.
