Chapter 726 226: Seven-Step Dragon-Slaying Might: Shi Feiyang Fiercely Battles Jinyi Guard Experts
Her voice was gentle and melodious, carrying a hint of a playful tone.
Shi Feiyang stood up from the bathtub, his body adorned with sparkling droplets of water that shone like a dazzling pearl under the sunlight.
He walked once again to the deerskin bag, from which he took out a few sets of brand new clothes. These garments were made of fine materials and featured exquisite embroidery, obviously of considerable value.
The clothes were embroidered with intricate patterns, with vibrant flowers and lively birds, each stitch imbued with deep emotion.
Shi Feiyang swiftly dressed and adjusted himself, his movements skilled and fluid.
Then, he looked at Yang Xue'Er with meaningful eyes and softly suggested, "Xue'er, we need to go out later. You should disguise yourself as a man, which would make our actions more convenient." Yang Xue'Er nodded lightly and replied obediently, "Alright, Shi Lang, I will do as you say."
Shi Feiyang filled the bathtub with new hot water and then stepped out of the tent to take over meal preparations from Lu Hongye.
He handled the kitchen utensils with deft hands, while shouting into the tent, "Hongye, go and bathe, and later, dress as a man together with Yang Xue'Er."
Lu Hongye responded as she entered the tent. Seeing Yang Xue'Er already in the bathtub, she smiled and said, "Xue'er sister, Shi Lang is truly considerate of you." Yang Xue'Er's cheeks flushed slightly as she replied, "Sister Lu, Shi Lang treats us all equally."
Lu Hongye nodded gently and began undressing to bathe.
During breakfast, Lu Hongye and Yang Xue'Er sat at the table, casting curious glances at Shi Feiyang.
Lu Hongye was the first to ask, "Shi Lang, where did these bathtubs come from? And how did the hot water appear so mysteriously, what's happening here?"
Her eyes were filled with confusion as she fixed her gaze on Shi Feiyang, eagerly awaiting his answer.
Yang Xue'Er also nodded in agreement, "Yes, Shi Lang, this is incredible. Do tell us."
Her eyes were full of expectation, like a child longing for candy.
Shi Feiyang listened, then merely smiled slightly, his expression carrying a hint of mystery, and said, "Ladies, the heavens' secrets must not be divulged. In due course, I will explain to you. But for now, you need to understand that all of this is for us to better protect each other, to guard our future."
His voice was gentle yet firm, conveying a reassuring strength.
After hearing this, Lu Hongye and Yang Xue'Er exchanged a glance, and then ceased their questioning, simply lowered their heads and silently enjoyed their breakfast.
Shi Xiong watched them from the side, his heart filled with envy.
After breakfast, soft sunlight sprinkled across the camp.
Shi Feiyang stood still, his posture straight as a pine, reaching towards the waist where a deerskin bag invisible to ordinary people was located.
With a light flick, in a moment, the tent, pots, pans, and all supplies were drawn by an invisible force, flying into the deerskin bag, disappearing without a trace.
Lu Hongye, Shi Xiong, and Yang Xue'Er stood aside, dumbfounded, their faces full of astonishment.
Lu Hongye couldn't help but exclaim, "Shi Lang, what... what exactly is this object, how can it be so magical?"
Shi Feiyang only smiled slightly and did not answer.
The mystery was in his smile. He then took a few magnificent warhorses out of the deerskin bag, their muscles tight and coats glossy, shimmering with seductive luster under the sunlight.
Shi Feiyang reached out to help Lu Hongye and Yang Xue'Er onto the horses, while Shi Xiong nimbly climbed onto one himself.
And Shi Feiyang mounted his horse with agility and grace, fully displaying his heroic nature.
Once everyone was ready, at Shi Feiyang's command, the horses galloped like arrows released from a bow towards the Capital.
Along the way, the wind roared past their ears as they spurred their horses on, finally reaching the Capital.
They disguised themselves and quietly checked into the soon-to-open "Mier Hall."
This Mier Hall was located at the Eight Alleys, a place long known for its bustling and tumultuous mix of people.
The night draped like a massive piece of black silk, slowly descending to shroud the entire Capital.
Inside Mier Hall, candle flames flickered, their dim light resembling dancing spirits, casting long shadows of the people present.
Shopkeeper Xu Niang, and the Capital's second sub-branch leader Wan Niang, approached with graceful steps, smiling as she greeted Shi Feiyang and his companions.
Wan Niang wore a striking cheongsam, her form light and her eyes revealing a calmness that comes from witnessing the vicissitudes of life.
She smiled and said, "Young Master Shi, you have finally arrived. With Mier Hall about to open, your presence will certainly bring great glory."
Shi Feiyang clasped his hands and smiled, "Wan Niang, you are too kind. In the future, we'll have to rely on your care."
After chatting for a while, Wan Niang's eyes twinkled as she looked at Lu Hongye and Yang Xue'Er, smiling and teasing, "The two brides look so deeply in love. However, in my opinion, why not accompany the Grand Squad Leader together instead of taking turns? Spending a pleasant night together is more interesting, don't you think? After all, love in this world should be free, don't constrain yourselves." She then covered her mouth and laughed lightly, a sly gleam in her eyes.
Hearing this, Yang Xue'Er and Lu Hongye's cheeks burned hot, like ripe apples.
Yang Xue'Er lowered her head and mumbled, "Wan Niang, what are you saying?" Even though Lu Hongye was embarrassed, she was curious and asked, "Wan Niang, you've surely seen many lovers in this place of pleasure. Are there really those who live so freely?"
Wan Niang lightly shook her round fan and said leisurely, "Ladies, love comes in thousands of forms in this world. In these Eight Alleys, I've seen numerous lovesick men and women, as well as those who accompany each other through life. As long as you truly like someone, why care about those worldly rules?"
