Chapter 313 - 313: The Next Day (2)
“Did Zheng Feng leave behind an heir?”
“His injuries couldn’t be cured, so how could he have an heir? He took in a foster son, whose talent and character are not bad. That kid was the one who fished me out of prison. It probably won’t be long before he goes to Jun Mountain Terrace to seek revenge.”
“There’s a cause yesterday, and there’s a consequence today. It’s only right to seek revenge. This is the Xuanyuan family’s matter. They have had nothing to do with me since more than twenty years ago.”
Qiu Tianhe sighed. He understood that although Xuanyuan Tiangang said this open-mindedly, the difficulties in his heart were greater than his.
After all, one side was his family, and the other was a close friend. The enmity between the two sides wouldn’t end until one of them died. The more someone valued affection and righteousness, the more inhumane they would be. They had to help, but helping anyone was ruthless and unrighteous.
Qiu Tianhe knew that talking about these things would only add to his frustration, so he didn’t say anything else. He entered the kitchen, grabbed a pair of chopsticks, and picked up a piece of stir-fried meat. “Your saber skills haven’t deteriorated. They’re still as oppressive as before…”
“This was cut by Alan. If you want to freeload, just say it. There’s no need to flatter me.”

Qiu Tianhe looked slightly embarrassed and blinked. “It’s ail thanks to you that Sister Lan has practiced her saber skills to this level… Not bad. It still tastes the same as before. Zheng Feng liked this taste. Give me two taels of Yellow Springs Flame. After eating and drinking, I’ll go to Jun Mountain Terrace to challenge him. I’ll have lived a worthy life if I die in the arena.”
“Sigh…”
The rising sun shone through the window paper and onto the floor in front of the canopy bed.
There were no other guests in the inn, so it was very quiet in the morning. The only sounds were the ones coming from outside the window.
“Coo- coo coo~”
It sounded like chirping, but it was actually the bored bird calling Tangtang to wake up.
Behind the curtain, a faint fragrance still lingered.
Ye Jingtang was lying on his side with his right arm stretched out for Third Lady to use as a pillow. His cheek was resting on her soft hair, and his lower abdomen felt sticky. There was an indescribable softness in the warmth and coolness.
With her back to the two of them, Luo Ning was being hugged by Third Lady and sleeping soundly on Ye Jingtang’s forearm.
The sleeping posture of the three of them was a little strange.
Initially, Ye Jingtang had wanted to lay in the middle with one in each arm. But Ning’er was too shy and refused to lie in his arm in front of Third Lady. She insisted on sleeping in the innermost area.
Third Lady had been bullied for a long time in the past. Seeing Ning’er’s unwillingness, perhaps because she wanted revenge, she forcefully hugged Ning’er, who was dizzy and didn’t want to move, and layered everyone together.
Ye Jingtang’s arms were long, so he didn’t feel any pressure holding them both at a time. It was true that he enjoyed it, but there was a small problem with sleeping like this. After his arm was used as a pillow until now, his right hand had basically lost feeling, and his entire arm was numb.
But as a man, it was only right for him to suffer a bit. Ye Jingtang enjoyed it and didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.
Hearing the bird’s chirping, Ye Jingtang opened his eyes and carefully raised his head to look around. Seeing that Third Lady and Ning’er, who had worked hard all night, had yet to wake up, he didn’t move and silently sensed the condition of his body.
After the two women took turns on him for the entire night, although his exuberant essence qi still hadn’t subsided, his impetuous qi and blood had still stabilized. He felt that his ears and eyes were clear, and every inch of his skin seemed to be much cleaner and smoother.
The changes in the meridians in his body were the greatest. His inner breath was long and formed a circulation of its own. Even without using his qi, he could feel the terrifying explosive power hidden in his body.
As for the rest, there were not many changes. The strongest effect of the Heavenly Carnelian Bead should be ‘rebirth’, which was adjusting the muscles, bones, and meridians, allowing the physique and bones to reach the most perfect state.
Because they had already been adjusted last time, there were no changes to his muscles and bones this time. It was just that his meridians had been widened and opened.
Although his increase in strength was very great, he could have polished his meridians by accumulating hard work over time. Even without taking the Heavenly Carnelian Bead, he could have reached his current state in a few years. The Heavenly Carnelian Bead had consumed 250 grams of Snow Lake Flower to concoct. Its main function should be to temper the muscles and bones. It was indeed a little wasteful to use it like this.
But the ingredients for this Heavenly Carnelian Bead had been obtained by Zhang Jinglin from Northern Liang. Ye Jingtang had picked up a huge bargain, so he couldn’t even say that his heart ached.
After he let his thoughts run wild for a moment, perhaps because his breathing frequency had changed, Third Lady, who was lying in front of him, moved her eyelashes and opened her almond-shaped eyes.
Ye Jingtang whispered into her ear, “It’s fine. Go back to sleep and get some more rest.”
Pei Xiangjun woke up. Her face, which had returned to normal, flushed red again. She tilted her head and looked at the vixen in her arms. “She’s really useless. Look at her. She starts weeping after a few times and lies down without moving. How did she help you recuperate in the past?”
Ye Jingtang actually felt that Third Lady wasn’t much better than Ning’er. It was just that she had been determined to fight for her pride and didn’t want to appear weak in front of Ning’er, so she had forced herself to act as if she were at ease.
Ye Jingtang naturally saw through this and didn’t say anything. He only said, “I didn’t take so many tonics in the past, so Ning’er could handle it. Did 1 use too much strength yesterday? Did I hurt you?”
Pei Xiangjun felt a little sore, but she was mostly fine. She leaned against Ye Jingtang’s chest and felt that he seemed to be ready to fight again. She bit her lower lip and glanced at him. “Jingtang, do you still want to…”

Ye Jingtang was certainly thinking about it. Seeing Third Lady being so considerate, he silently moved his hand under the thin blanket…
“Ah-” Pei Xiangjun’s face turned even redder. She covered her lips with her hand, and her eyes were watery. She remained silent as she treated him.
After being intimate for a while, Pei Xiangjun saw the vixen in front of her. Her eyelashes fluttered, and then she opened her eyes. She turned around to look at her and then turned her face back, wanting to break free from her embrace and get away..
