Chapter 44

Xiao Sheng was taken aback and asked, "What? You were originally a hypnotist surnamed Zhou, not Bian Bufe?"

"Bian Bufe" nodded frantically, tears streaming down his face as he pleaded, "Yes, yes! That's right. So, don't kill me! I know many secrets of this world. The Yang Gong Treasure, the Evil Emperor's Relics, I know everything. If you kill me, you won't get those good things. Please, don't kill me, don't kill me!"

"…This person is crazy. To save his life, he's spouting all sorts of nonsense."

Xiao Sheng shook his head, not believing a single word Bian Bufe said. After all, when a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. The body decays, and the soul cannot exist independently. Therefore, the meaning of martial cultivation is to first train the body, then the soul. As the soul grows stronger, it nourishes the body, enhancing physical strength. This process repeats, forming a virtuous cycle, ultimately achieving the goal of immortality.

However, during this period, if the body is destroyed, even if the soul is strong, it can only barely survive for a maximum of forty-nine days. It's even more impossible for the soul to cross dimensions and enter another person's body in another world.

The soul can only achieve perfect harmony with its own body. If it enters another person's body, it cannot be nourished and will only weaken, ultimately facing the same forty-nine-day limit.

All of this is common knowledge in the Great Hao Dynasty. Over thousands of years, countless martial saints have confirmed the impossibility of soul possession through various methods. If Bian Bufe suddenly claims to be a reincarnated person, it would be strange for Xiao Sheng to believe him.

No longer engaging in pointless talk, Xiao Sheng decisively swung his hand, releasing a sharp vacuum blade. It flew through the air, striking Bian Bufe's forehead precisely.

Instantly, Bian Bufe seemed to be struck by lightning. His already bizarre face became stiff like a mask. His eyes revealed a look of unwillingness as he muttered, "I... I hate it! I am so... unwilling! I still want to... dominate the world, to bed all the beautiful women. To destroy the Hu Sect, to be the only supreme one! I... how can I... die like this? I... am so unwilling!"

Before his muttering ended, Bian Bufe's body split in two from head to toe. The corpse fell to the ground, motionless.

Suddenly, something strange happened. For some reason, Xiao Sheng felt his thoughts become clear, his mood relaxed, and his body felt incredibly light. Even his mental strength seemed to have subtly increased. Was this... the effect of good fortune?

Xiao Sheng had experienced something similar before. Once, he entered a parallel world for training and accidentally killed the world's protagonist, the so-called "son of good fortune." Immediately, the protagonist's good fortune was inherited by Xiao Sheng. After that, everything went smoothly for him in that world, and good things kept happening.

However, the protagonists of this world should be Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. Why did killing Bian Bufe give him a similar feeling? This was truly incomprehensible.

There are too many strange things in the world. If one insists on understanding everything, one's brain might explode. So, Xiao Sheng shook his head and decided not to think about it. He stomped his right foot, causing the pit to collapse, burying Bian Bufe's body. He then left without looking back, quickly forgetting about the incident.

Jumping onto the boat, Xiao Sheng asked Guan Guan with concern, "Miss Guan Guan, is the Yin Empress alright? I'm sorry. There were too many people just now, and I couldn't control myself, accidentally injuring the Yin Empress again. Sigh~"

"You bad person! Now you're being hypocritical." Guan Guan was so angry she gritted her teeth, demanding, "Didn't you say you would use love and reason to persuade us to retire from the江湖? What about now?"

"Oh, you mean that." Xiao Sheng slapped his forehead and then showed his two fists, smiling, "This is my love and reason. See, I did use love and reason to persuade your uncles to retire from the江湖. How about that? I didn't lie, did I?"

"You... you... you call your two fists 'love and reason'?" Guan Guan was speechless. To be honest, it was the expression of "You make so much sense, I have no words to say."

After all, in the江湖, everything is decided by strength. The one with the strongest fist has the reason. How did the Demon Sect dominate the江湖? Wasn't it by strength? When they encountered someone they disliked, they used their fists to reason with them.

So now, although Guan Guan wanted to scold Xiao Sheng for being untrustworthy, she found herself speechless, unable to find any words to say.

"Cough, cough~ Guan, there's no need to argue with her." The Yin Empress coughed twice, finally catching her breath. She looked up at Xiao Sheng and asked, "Sir, you are very capable. We admit defeat this time. What do you want?"

"Actually, it's nothing much. I already said last night, I just want to play matchmaker and help the Yin Empress and Mr. Evil get together."

Xiao Sheng smiled and then turned his gaze to Guan Guan, looking her up and down before continuing, "Miss Guan Guan, I originally wanted to persuade Miss Shi Feixuan to marry Xu Ziling. Unfortunately, she is very determined to cultivate and would rather become a nun than marry, so that's out of the question.

However, I suddenly remember... it seems you, Miss Guan Guan, have a good impression of Xu Ziling. If so, why don't you replace Miss Shi and marry Xu Ziling?

Oh, right. I also remember that Xu Ziling and Mr. Evil's daughter, Shi Qingxuan, have a good relationship. So, it would be perfect if you and Shi Qingxuan both marry Xu Ziling, and the Yin Empress and Mr. Evil also get married. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation, something to celebrate?"

Guan Guan and the Yin Empress were speechless. Guan Guan exclaimed, "Are you kidding? Are you addicted to matchmaking? Is this even possible?"

"Ha ha, as long as I like it, why not?" Xiao Sheng laughed again, "Alright, let's stop the idle talk. It's getting late, and I have an appointment with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. Shall we go together?"

The situation was overwhelming. The Yin Empress knew resistance was futile. She coldly snorted and stood up.

Although the Yin Empress was seriously injured, her foundation was deep, and she had received full support from Guan Guan's true qi. Her injuries were already about 70% healed. She could handle weaker opponents, like You Niaojuan or Zuo Youxian, and walking was no problem.

Unfortunately, whether injured or healthy, she was no match for Xiao Sheng. So, the Yin Empress gave up any thoughts of a surprise attack or escape and obediently followed Xiao Sheng, supported by Guan Guan.

The three of them walked along the Yongji Canal. Soon, they reached the Yue Ma Bridge. After crossing the bridge, they entered the Zhuque Avenue, which runs through the north and south of Chang'an, heading south. Soon, they arrived at the Xuanping Fang in the southern part of the city.

Although Xiao Sheng had never been to Xuanping Fang, with the help of his "Heart Network," he had already located the whereabouts of the two dragons. So, as they walked, he turned and twisted without hesitation, as if he were returning home.

In no time, Xiao Sheng led the Yin Empress and Guan Guan into a deep alley. There was only one house in the alley. Xiao Sheng knocked on the door and called, "Is Brother Xu there? I have come to visit."

As soon as he spoke, hurried footsteps were heard from behind the door. Then, the door creaked open, and three figures stood in a triangular formation, each on guard. The one at the front was Xu Ziling.

Behind him, on the left, was a tall, muscular young man with a slightly cynical smile. He held a long, ancient-looking knife, enveloped in a layer of misty yellow light. This was undoubtedly the commander of the "Young Marshal Army" in the south, the strongest rival to Li Shimin in the struggle for the throne, and the future son-in-law of the Lingnan Song Clan, Kou Zhong.

On the right was a young man with a fan, handsome and elegant, with many beautiful women painted on the fan. This was undoubtedly the disciple of Mr. Evil, known as the "Romantic Prince," Hou Xibai.

Hou Xibai's greatest hobby was painting beautiful women. The women on his fan were all the most famous beauties of the time. His greatest wish was to paint Guan Guan and Shi Feixuan, the most outstanding women of the orthodox and evil sects, on his fan. However, he had always felt he couldn't capture their true essence, so he had never dared to paint them.

But at this moment, as the door opened and Xiao Sheng appeared before everyone, Hou Xibai's eyes lit up. He instinctively used his finger as a brush, drawing in the air, as if he wanted to break his usual rules and paint the graceful figure of this white-robed young man on his fan.

Kou Zhong, however, was not as lustful as the Romantic Prince. When the door opened, he was also captivated by the graceful figure of the white-robed young man. But it was only for a moment. In the blink of an eye, he regained his composure and smiled, "This must be Senior Xiao. Nice to meet you, I'm Kou Zhong. You've already met Ziling, no need for introductions. This is the Romantic Prince, Hou Xibai. Come in, let's have a cup of tea and talk... Eh? Eh! Eh!"

He exclaimed three times, leaping three feet high, his face full of surprise as he looked at the Yin Empress and Guan Guan, who had just emerged from behind Xiao Sheng. He then gripped his precious sword, Jingyue, and stammered, "Zongzhu? Big Sister Guan? Why are you two here?"
