Chapter 2

San Yuan clenched his fists, his voice filled with resentment. "That damn Wang Ba! Last time, I said his family's mutton was really delicious, and that bastard said I wouldn't have a chance to eat it if I didn't go to his place! As if I only ate at his place! This time, let's see if he can still eat mutton!"

Er Yuan gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Hey, let's see what he'll use to support his harem of women! Back then, I just glanced at his women a few more times, and the village god Wang Ba, that bastard, found an excuse to say I didn't call him 'village god' a month ago and beat me up!"

"You're just thinking about his dozen or so women!"

"Those women have made us three brothers bachelors!"

Da Yuan shook his head with a sigh. "I think you two are really no good for anything..."

Heng Yi just wanted to go out and see things. When Da Yuan said to set off, he flew faster than anyone, but he didn't know where to go, so he could only slow down and follow behind.

The four of them flew under the cover of night, passing through the snowy Qian Mountain Snow Ridge, over the winding and rugged mountain paths, over the frozen streams, and into Wang's village...

It was already late at night, and there was no light except from one window.

"Master, there's something glowing in there!"

"Idiot, that's a talisman lamp!" San Yuan burst out laughing, and Er Yuan said, "That bastard has a lot of energy, still working hard so late. Heng Yi, Second Master will take you to see something."

Da Yuan, who rarely interfered, flew and stopped at the window with the same enthusiasm as San Yuan.

By this time, Er Yuan had already opened the window a bit, and the four heads lined up to look inside.

Heng Yi saw a muscular man naked on top of a woman, moving rhythmically, panting heavily, while the woman made strange sounds. Despite the cold winter, both of them were sweating.

Heng Yi didn't know what they were doing, but he felt a strange sensation in his body, something he couldn't describe, a mix of excitement, desire, and an unnamed pleasure... He began to understand why his three masters liked to watch.

After a while, the naked man collapsed on the woman, panted for a while, then rolled to the side, pulled the blanket over himself, yawned, and soon fell asleep.

The woman covered the glowing talisman, and the room became pitch black.

Er Yuan, still unsatisfied, followed Da Yuan to the ground, and said with a tsk, "That slut, Wang Ba just loves to do her!"

San Yuan, itching with desire, said, "Master, why don't we steal Wang Ba's sluts back?"

"Rubbish! We, the prestigious San Yuan Sect, can't do such low-down things? Practice hard, and when you master the skills in the divine book, will you still worry about not having women? We've been bachelors for thirty years! You two should have some ambition! Are those women, who Wang Ba has used so many times, worth our attention? In the future, we will marry delicate and refined ladies, maybe even immortal fairies! The San Yuan Sect will be a prestigious sect, and we must not do such things! No more thinking about it. Wang Ba is asleep, let's get to work. We must take everything tonight to avoid trouble."

Er Yuan and San Yuan had to agree.

"What's the Lake Sea Sect?"

"A sect of immortals. Everyone within a few thousand miles around here worships the Lake Sea Sect. They have hundreds of immortals, and we can't afford to provoke them."

Da Yuan corrected, "We can't afford to provoke them now, but one day we won't be afraid of them!"

"Blowing hot air... Their disciples are treated with respect by even the city god!"

"They will be ours in the future!" Da Yuan glared angrily, and San Yuan had to shut up.

When they entered the pigsty, Heng Yi noticed a little girl in the corner, dirty and wearing only a single layer of clothing in the cold. "Master, look—" Heng Yi pointed at the little girl, and San Yuan glanced at her without much surprise. "Isn't that Old Wang's eldest daughter, Wang Feizi?"

Er Yuan, hearing this, ran over to look, excited as if he had found a treasure. "Big Brother! It's really Old Wang's pretty eldest daughter!"

"Have you no shame? You're thinking about a little girl?" San Yuan's look of disdain made Er Yuan even more agitated. "Pah, pah, pah...," he pointed at San Yuan's nose and cursed, "What the hell are you talking about!"

"My mother is also your mother." San Yuan's cold words left Er Yuan momentarily stunned, then he remembered and his anger subsided. "This girl is diligent and smart, and she helps me in the fields. Old Wang is willing to sell even this girl, and she will eventually be ruined by that bastard..."

Heng Yi felt sorry for the girl. She seemed to be asleep, and the words of his two masters clearly meant they pitied her. "Master, can we save her?"

"Cover her mouth and carry her away!" Da Yuan ordered without hesitation. Wang Ba, the village god, had a cousin who was from the Lake Sea Sect and was influential in the city. Wang Ba was tyrannical in the village, often buying beautiful girls. If they were disobedient, he would throw them into the pigsty, and if they were too stubborn, he would rape them and sell them to the city. The obedient ones he kept as wives.

Compared to staying here, Da Yuan believed Wang Feizi would prefer to be the second senior sister of the San Yuan Sect! This would mean another disciple. Da Yuan felt increasingly pleased as he thought about it, imagining a future where disciples would call him Master all over the mountains...

When it was light, Wang Ba was woken by the screams of his servants. Before he could ask what was happening, his first wife was pounding on the door. "There are ghosts in the house! You're still in the fox spirit's room! Everything is gone, all gone—"

"What's gone?" Wang Ba, in a bad mood, put on his pants.

"Even the pots in the kitchen are gone!"

"Just a few pots..."

"All the pigs, cows, and sheep are gone! The little girl we just bought is gone too!"

"Ah?" Wang Ba let out a cry of surprise and ran out without fully dressing...

...

At the San Yuan Sect, the cattle mooed and the sheep bleated.

Er Yuan and San Yuan were still fast asleep, dreaming of the women under Wang Ba, but in their dreams, Wang Ba was gone, and they were the ones on top.

Heng Yi woke up early, full of energy. After practicing with Da Yuan, he fed the cattle and sheep with the fodder taken from Wang Ba's house.

"Let's slaughter this one later and let you taste it," Da Yuan said, watching the sheep eat, feeling that a bright future was already within reach, all thanks to the divine book.

After feeding the fodder, Heng Yi was still thinking about the strange feeling from last night. "Master, what were Wang Ba and that woman doing last night? It felt strange, and I keep thinking about it."

Da Yuan couldn't answer, as he hadn't experienced it himself, but he couldn't admit it, as it would damage his authority as a master. "Don't think about women now. When the time comes, Master will let you experience it, just like these cattle and pigs. You didn't eat pork before, right? Today, Master will let you taste it!"

"Okay." Heng Yi nodded, his serious eyes making Da Yuan very fond of him. Compared to Er Yuan and San Yuan, Heng Yi, who respected his master and was easy to teach, gave Da Yuan more hope. "How is Wang Feizi?"

"She's very happy, but she misses her parents. She is very grateful to Master, saying we saved her from a terrible situation. She knows a lot and can do anything. She uses the tools of the three masters very well and said she would teach me how to use them." Heng Yi was very happy to have a new junior sister who was both beautiful and talkative.

"Good! Tell her the ritual for becoming a disciple. We have tea from Wang Ba, and the ritual must be proper."

Da Yuan was very pleased. That day, the four of them slaughtered a fat sheep, opened two jars of wine stolen from Wang Ba, and enjoyed a day of feasting and drinking.

That night, Wang Feizi formally became a disciple, sweetly calling the three masters and Heng Yi her senior brother. San Yuan was very happy and gave her a piece of jade from Wang Ba as a gift.

The next morning, Heng Yi and Wang Feizi ran to the entrance of the ice cave and shouted, "Master, Master! Junior sister has cultivated qi! She has cultivated qi!"

Da Yuan ran out of the cave, staring at Heng Yi in disbelief. "What did you say? Say it again!"

"Junior sister has cultivated qi!" Heng Yi quickly grabbed Wang Feizi's hand and handed it to Da Yuan. Da Yuan, both surprised and delighted, asked Wang Feizi to channel her qi. Her eyes, full of joy, followed the instructions, and a stream of true qi immediately flowed from her hand, which Da Yuan could clearly feel. He walked back and forth, then suddenly raised his arms, looked up at the snowy sky, and laughed loudly, "Heaven has eyes! The San Yuan Sect is indeed destined to flourish! It has been given two precious disciples! Hahahaha..."

His laughter drew Er Yuan and San Yuan, who were surprised to hear that Wang Feizi had cultivated qi in just one night. Er Yuan and San Yuan looked at each other, feeling both happy and dejected. "What kind of masters are we! In a few days, they will be able to be our masters!"

"Rubbish! Once a master, always a master!" Da Yuan angrily rebuked them, and Er Yuan and San Yuan laughed awkwardly. "We were just joking. Are they that kind of people?"

Da Yuan ignored them. "Heng Yi, from today, take your junior sister out to practice every day. It will help her progress faster!"

Heng Yi, happy, carried Wang Feizi and flew out with the unknown sword.

The ice valley was surrounded by ice peaks, and the lower areas of the ice mountains were covered with forests.

This season, it was hard to find wild animals. A few days ago, Heng Yi had practiced the techniques in the divine book by hunting snow wolves and had already figured out their general range. Carrying Wang Feizi, he flew into the forest and soon saw two snow wolves wandering aimlessly in the snow, looking for food.

Heng Yi and Wang Feizi landed on a tree, and he handed her the sword, explaining the first technique from the divine book and the method to channel qi. Wang Feizi listened carefully and remembered it.

Heng Yi pointed to a nearby tree. "In a moment, you will channel your qi to perform the Infinite Sword, then use the light body technique to jump to the next tree, rest, and perform it again."

Wang Feizi was a bit afraid of the distance but was willing to try. Heng Yi noticed and said, "Don't worry, if you don't stand steady, I'll catch you."

"Okay!" Wang Feizi tried to channel her qi as Heng Yi taught her, and the qi in her body gathered, forming a powerful force that surged through her arm, propelling the sword to fly like a meteor!

The flying sword first struck a snow wolf ten yards away, then, as if drawing power from the wolf's body, it glowed and cut through the second wolf! It flashed with a white light, drawing more power, and flew back.

Wang Feizi caught the returning sword effortlessly, the force in her body seemingly connected to the sword, guiding it back to her hand. As she jumped to another tree, she channeled her qi again and shot the sword out—

But this time, the sword missed, and the two frightened snow wolves fled.

Wang Feizi, landing on a branch, slipped and fell, screaming in fear.

Heng Yi flew down quickly, caught Wang Feizi, and landed steadily.

Wang Feizi, still shaken, opened her eyes wide, her chest heaving with rapid breaths.

Heng Yi, holding her, looked at her chest, suddenly remembering the scenes he had seen with Wang Ba.

When Wang Feizi caught her breath and noticed Heng Yi's strange gaze, she instinctively crossed her arms over her chest, asking fearfully, "Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

"Junior Sister, can I take off my clothes and press on top of you?" Heng Yi looked at Wang Feizi seriously, stating his thoughts clearly.
