“I am not as beautiful as Yanyan. Where would there be so many people who like me?” Ximen Ningning whispered.

“I don’t believe that,” Yang Dingtian said. “Your body, your elegance, your gentleness can all make even an excellent man fall head over heels for you. The longer one looks, the prettier your face becomes and the more feminine you look, like a glass of nice wine.”

Ximen Ningning’s entire face turned red. “Save your sweet words for Yanyan.”

“I was just telling the truth,” Yang Dingtian concluded. He did not continue to ask why Ximen Ningning was still single.

Ximen Ningning remained silent for a while and then whispered, “I’ll tell you, but don’t tell others.”

Yang Dingtian nodded.

“I am very afraid of having contact with men. As soon as a man comes nearby, the pores across my entire body become tightly closed, causing me to feel extreme pain from the inside out. As soon as I realize that I’m breathing the same air that a man has breathed before, I can’t help but feel uncomfortable.”

Yang Dingtian was slightly horrified. He knew that Ningning did have some aversion to men, but he did not expect it to be so serious.

He couldn’t help but ask, “I, I am also a man. Is it tough for you when we are close to each other?”

“No,” Ximen Ningning answered. “With you, I am not uncomfortable.”

“Why?” Yang Dingtian asked. “I don’t believe that I am so special.”

“I don’t know.”

“Well, let’s stop talking about this,” Ximen Ningning said with a red face. “Let’s talk about Yang Shaobai. Don’t belittle him just because he wasn’t as competent as Yanyan was five years ago. At the age of seventeen, he became an Eight Star Xuan Warrior, which is definitely a rare talent. The most important thing to note is his current cultivation was achieved after he abandoned his original martial arts and re-cultivated the Chaotic Heaven Destroyer Swordsmanship.”

Yang Dingtian was instantly shocked. This seventeen years old youth had become an Eight Star Xuan Warrior, one of only a handful in the entire Northwest Mainland. Not only was he one of them, but he had also once washed away his original martial arts cultivation. Even though he must have taken the Xuan Dissociation Pill, there still must have been some degradation of his Xuan energy. This Yang Shaobai was definitely a talent.

Suddenly, Yang Dingtian imprinted the name “Yang Shaobai” in his heart. Of course, the most important thing now was to get to the abandoned ore mine, kill both the gold-type and ice-type beasts, and harvest the demon nuclei of these two attributes.

….

It was about noon. Floating Ray landed in a remote area in the valley, which was approximately a hundred miles away from the border separating Cloud Sky City and the Northwest Qin Family territories.

After crossing this border, they would no longer ride any flying beasts and would switch to horses instead. On top of that, the two of them must stay in disguise to not let anyone identify Yang Dingtian. Otherwise, they would face a life-threatening disaster.

Ximen Yanyan opened a box, within which were a pill and a thin feather-like mask.

“This was made from the skin of a beast with the ability to disguise itself, and it is still alive. After you put on this mask, swallow this pill and the mask will maintain its effect for three days,” Ximen Ningning explained.

Yang Dingtian took the mask and put it on. The moment it touched his face, the mask came alive and gradually squirmed onto his face. After he took the pill, the mask began to squirm even faster. After five minutes, the mask had completely merged with Yang Dingtian’s face.

He received a crystal mirror from Ximen Ningning and felt a little surprised. This face was way too handsome and even made him feel jealous.

Yang Dingtian said, “This face is too handsome. It’s not good because it stands out too much. It’s better to change to a more normal face.”

Ximen Ningning rebutted, “This is the most realistic face by far. The disguising mask is an extremely rare item.”

Yang Dingtian touched the mask on his face and almost could not feel its existence. It was as if it were his real face.

“I changed my face. What about you?”

Ximen Ningning took out another box with a variety of ointments and used a tiny hand to apply it on her face. Her visage soon also changed.

As Yang Dingtian watched in surprise, Ximen Ningning’s face completely transformed.

Although it wasn’t as real as the one provided by the disguising mask, it was still difficult to see the flaws. She really had some skill.

This new face was very charming and even a little contemptuous.

“You turn around. I have to change my clothes,” Ximen Ningning whispered after she finished disguising herself.

Yang Dingtian turned around and soon began to hear sounds coming from behind him. Although he could not see, he could still imagine. He had a wonderful daydream because Ximen Ningning had an almost perfectly curved body.

“I’m done!” she declared.

Yang Dingtian turned around, and his eyes widened.

After grooming, she turned into a completely different person. The cherry-pink wrap dress made her charming and beautiful. Although she didn’t have big eyes, they were so watery that they were still very attractive. Having the devil’s curvy body, she was the complete epitome of the word vixen.

“My current identity is the daughter of the Red Rock Fortress Lord, Qin Hongmian,” Ximen Ningning said. “The Red Rock Fortress is not big, but it is indeed a distant relative of the Northwest Qin family. Thus, wandering within the territory of the Northwest Qin family will be much more convenient. This woman likes beautiful men, so it will not be suspicious if I bring you along.”

Yang Dingtian asked shyly, “Then, do we have to act like we are very intimate later?”

“We have to!” Ximen Ningning affirmed. “Remember, your identity now is Qin Hongmin’s new lover. Your name is Ning Que. Let’s go. There is a town thirty miles away. We’ll rest for a while there and depart in the afternoon for the abandoned ore mine.”

….

An hour later, the two of them were walking into town.

This town was called the Metal Sword Town. The area between this town and the border over a hundred miles away was under the control of Metal Sword Fortress forces.

Metal Sword Fortress was the largest ministerial power in Cloud Sky City. For the past few centuries, Metal Sword Fortress had constantly rebelled and then been put down. Eight years ago, Ximen Wuya had already consecutively killed two generations of Metal Sword Fortress Lords. He sent the black blood troops to kill all the hated forces of Metal Sword Fortress before propping up a puppet as the new Metal Sword Fortress Lord. Only then did it once again become the largest ministerial power of Cloud Sky City.

When they stepped into Metal Sword Town, Ximen Ningning instantly turned into a completely different person. Her gentle body stuck to Yang Dingtian as they walked, and she acted coquettishly and intimately as if there weren’t anyone else around. Although he knew that she was just acting, Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but feel ecstatic.

Entering the biggest inn in Metal Sword Town, both of them caught the attention of many people. The men looked at Ximen Ningning while the ladies looked at Yang Dingtian, all with fiery gazes.

Though Ximen Ningning was pretending to be Qin Hongmin and was not the prettiest, her seductive vibe and devil-like body held a fatal attraction towards all men. Meanwhile, Yang Dingtian who was now Ning Que was also really too handsome.

Ximen Ningning found the best spot, took out her handkerchief and wiped both table and chairs. She then sat down closely next to Yang Dingtian. The waiter brought the menu for them to order, and Ningning used two of her fingers to gently point and order softly from the menu, looking lazy and seductive.

“Mother, this woman is really ***. I can’t stand it anymore.” A sword-bearing man nearby looked at Ningning and swallowed a mouthful of water. He sat with three other martial artists. His gaze fell on Ningning’s devil-like curvy body.

Ningning heard him, disdainfully glanced at him, and said, “Old village man.”

The muscular man was so angry that he stood up and rushed over.

Ningning looked as if she couldn’t bother with him. She said softly, “The food here is really bad. There’s not much that is fit to eat. It’s far worse than our Qin City.”

When the words came out, the strong man who had almost pulled out his sword had a drastic change in expression. He resheathed his sword and sat back. The three other martial artists at the same table all averted their eyes, no longer daring to arrogantly look at Ningning’s chest and hips.

Ningning pursed her lips and ordered a few of the most expensive and exquisite dishes in the restaurant.

“Ning Lang, hold it in for a few more days. Wait till we reach home and then, you will be able to eat whatever you wish to,” Ningning looked at Yang Dingtian and said seductively.

……

“Have you heard that Cloud Sky City is about to appoint a useless trash called Yang Dingtian as the new City Lord? I heard that that useless trash is already over twenty years old but has just passed the enlightenment period. He even learned the Pig Killing Swordsmanship and went insane a couple of days ago,” A muscular man sitting next to them said.

“Doesn’t that mean that we have to obey the orders of a useless thing in the future?” Another thin man asked, “Isn’t Miss Ximen a flower who’s been inserted into cow dung? She is a beauty at the same level as Ms. Dongfang fairy. If I am able to just hug her, my soul will be completely gone. That mad man really has struck it rich. He gained such a beauty but doesn’t know how to hug and how to sleep with her.”

Suddenly, everyone in the room swallowed.

“Continue talking if you want to die.” The brave man sneered. “Miss Ximen and that useless person are just a couple in name only. She has been eyed by Shaojun of the Qin family. After a year and a half when the madman is dead, Miss Ximen will be Qin Shaojun’s woman.”

The thin man heard that Ximen Yanyan was a taboo topic for the Northwest Qin family, and his expression suddenly changed. He feared that his words would be heard by others.

“Then, should our Metal Sword Fortress rebel?” another one asked.

“Rebel? Rebel your head,” the muscular man admonished. “If that useless person really did become the City Lord, I will be the first to rebel. But, you know who will be the new City Lord? It is the third son of the Northwest Qin family’s Lord. He is the grandson of Cloud Sky City’s Elder Yang Yan. Now that he’s changed his name to Yang Shaobai, he is about to return to Cloud Sky City and join the Yang family tree.”

“That useless thing named Yang Dingtian is dead. He might not even live past next year.” The thin man said, “Yang Shaobai has the support of the Northwest Qin Family on the outside and the Yang Family on the inside. Yang Dingtian won’t even know how he died. We might even hear about his death tomorrow.”

“Ohh…” The thin man continued, “It is truly a good means, a good strategy. At that moment, these thousand plus miles of Cloud Sky City territory will return to the hands of the Northwest Qin family. Then, in the entire Northwest Mainland, they will have no more enemies.”

“If you keep talking so viciously, you really won’t live to tomorrow.” The muscular man said, “This kind of big issue is something you just quietly listen about. Why badmouth others?”

“Then, where does our Metal Sword Fortress stand?” asked another one.

The muscular man took a sip of wine and answered, “Our Metal Sword Fortress? The Lord of the Fortress has already made his choice, and you will soon know what it is.”

Hearing these words, Yang Dingtian’s brows wrinkled slightly. If this matter was even known by these people of Metal Sword Fortress, it could be seen that the news has spread even thousands of miles away from Cloud Sky City. Anyone could see that the Northwest Qin family intended to swallow Cloud Sky City. Were Yang Yan and the others really going to turn a blind eye and let the ancestral foundations fall into the hands of the enemy? If they really support Yang Shaobai for that position, that would be too shameless and too stupid of them.

However, all of this was both closely related to Yang Dingtian and also had nothing to do him. All he could do was one thing, which is to become stronger as quickly as possible!

At this time, in the entire restaurant, not just the muscular man, almost everyone else was discussing this matter as well. Some people’s words were extremely offensive, especially with regards to Ximen Yanyan’s beauty. They called her someone with big boobs with a childish-face. Countless men listened with green eyes.

“I heard that when the young master of the Northwest Qin family is in bed, he is completely like a beast. I don’t know how many women were played with till they were half dead, but if Miss Ximen is such a delicate girl, isn’t it…?” a bird-eyed man raved, covered in saliva.

“Hey…” The entire restaurant suddenly turned completely silence as a black figure slowly came in.

It was Ximen Ju, the manager of Cloud Sky City’s internal affairs. He actually appeared in this place. What was he doing here?
