While on Mount Hua, my mind is at peace!

Chapter 19 The Feast at Hongmen

Li Yunshang drank a few more cups of wine with Yue Feng. The alcohol made her even more beautiful and charming. Yue Feng was also a little tipsy by this time, and without realizing it, he pulled the beauty into his arms.

The night passed amidst the chaos of gunfire. The next morning, Li Yunshang was unwell and unable to get out of bed. Yue Feng helped her eat something, and they resumed their activities. It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that their passion subsided.

Li Yunshang was so exhausted that she had no strength left, but her complexion was rosy. Lying in Yue Feng's arms, she whispered to him, "Big brother, should we open the gift that Master left for us? Maybe it's something good."

Yue Feng then remembered the jade box on the table. He picked it up and opened it, finding two crystal-clear pills, each the size of a longan, emitting a refreshing fragrance. Yue Feng laughed, "Old Yan was worried I wouldn't be of any use, so he prepared some tonics for me in advance? It's a pity I don't need them."

Li Yunshang glanced at Yue Feng, her beauty and charm evident in her eyes and brows.

"No, that's not it. This is our sect's secret 'Ice Soul Jade Dragon Pill,' which makes one immune to all poisons. I didn't expect Master to bring out such a good thing. It seems he's quite satisfied with you as his son-in-law."

Yue Feng reached out his index finger and scratched Li Yunshang's chin: "And you? Are you satisfied?"

Li Yunshang's gaze involuntarily shifted to Yue Feng's waist. Suddenly remembering something, her face flushed red, and she slapped him.

Yue Feng said solemnly, "Seriously speaking, this Ice Soul Jade Dragon Pill is so miraculous. Isn't it a bit too precious as a wedding gift for us? I am already content to be with you forever. To receive such a grand gift makes me feel quite apprehensive."

Hearing Yue Feng's words, Li Yunshang felt a sweet warmth in her heart, but shook her head and said, "No, our sect has a secret recipe for making this kind of pill. My master obtained it by chance when he was traveling the world in his early years. Although it is not easy to make, as long as you are willing to spend money and effort, you can still make it."

Hearing this, Yue Feng felt relieved and, together with Li Yunshang, shared the two Ice Soul Jade Dragon Pills. The pills melted instantly upon entering the mouth, like a handful of cool lake water flowing straight into the stomach, extinguishing some of Yue Feng's lust.

The two, dressed neatly, drank tea and discussed their future plans. Seeing that Yue Feng treated her with considerable respect, Li Yunshang mustered her courage and said to him:

"Brother, our sect's mission is to 'rob the rich and help the poor,' and that's what I've always been doing. You want me to be a good wife and mother, of course I can, but right now..."

Seeing her hesitate, Yue Feng smiled and said, "But for now, you still want to continue doing your old job, since I'm just drifting around anyway, right?"

Li Yunshang nodded and said apologetically, "Brother, you really understand me, so there are some things I don't need to say. But there's one more thing: no matter how you arrange things for me, I will have no regrets, because I believe you will treat me well."

Yue Feng laughed and said, "Since you've put it that way, how could I possibly refuse? The job I'm going to do is quite dangerous, and I don't want you to get involved. As long as you promise to take good care of yourself, I'll agree."

Overjoyed, Li Yunshang hugged Yue Feng tightly, pressed her cherry lips to his ear, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm not by your side, you... you can find other women, anyway... anyway, I can't handle it all by myself."

Yue Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to hug her back when Li Yunshang hurriedly twisted her slender waist and flashed to the other side of the room.

"Brother, please spare me, I really can't go on today."

Yue Feng had no choice but to give up and asked Li Yunshang about the next steps. Li Yunshang said, "My senior brother and I have a case to handle in Fuzhou City, but it's not time to start yet. In the meantime, we'll stay by your side and see if there's anything we can do to help you."

Upon hearing this, Yue Feng became interested and was about to ask Li Yunshang who she was going to target this time when Zhang Yunfei knocked on the door from outside and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, may I come in?"

Yue Feng said, "Please come in," and Zhang Yunfei pushed open the door and walked in. His thieving eyes darted back and forth between Yue Feng and Li Yunshang, and he clicked his tongue twice before placing a finely crafted metal device on the table.

"This was taken from that dead man. My master said it's called 'Rain of Pear Blossom Nails,' a very powerful hidden weapon. I don't have much to offer as a wedding gift for you two, so I'll use this instead."

Yue Feng and Li Yunshang thanked him together. Yue Feng picked up the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Nail, examined it, and seeing that it had been cleaned, handed it to Li Yunshang. Li Yunshang took it and put it away. Yue Feng invited Zhang Yunfei downstairs for drinks, and Zhang Yunfei readily agreed. Li Yunshang wanted to rest, so she didn't come along.

Upon arriving in the lobby and settling down, Yue Feng saw Laudenuo's aged figure flash past the main entrance, waving at him. Yue Feng narrowed his eyes and said to Zhang Yunfei, "I'll be back to drink with you for a bit."

Zhang Yunfei noticed the change in Yue Feng's expression and whispered, "Do you need any help?"

Yue Feng shook his head, patted his shoulder, and walked out of the lobby. Turning the corner, Laudenuo was waiting for him behind the street. Upon seeing him, he said, "My friends are all here, waiting in that little tavern. Junior Brother, would you like to go see them?"

Yue Feng nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I should see them." He then followed Laudenuo to the hotel. When they arrived, they saw at least a dozen people sitting inside, most of them quite young, surrounding two elderly men.

The two elderly men were both around fifty years old, one bald and the other with white hair, and both carried single-edged swords. The scabbards of both swords were quite old, clearly their weapons that had accompanied them through many years of adventures in the martial world.

The shop was small and crowded, with only the table occupied by the two elderly men having any seats available. Yue Feng strode over and sat down opposite them. The two elderly men, seeing that he neither greeted them nor bowed, couldn't help but show their displeasure.

Laudenau came over to pour wine for the three of them. Just as he was about to introduce them, Yue Feng raised his hand to interrupt him.

"I am Yue Feng, the young master of the Huashan Sect. You are Bu Chen, the 'White-haired Immortal,' and Sha Tianjiang, the 'Bald Eagle,' both disciples of Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan Sect. Am I correct?"

Bu Chen's face darkened, and his hand immediately gripped the hilt of his knife. Sha Tianjiang grabbed his arm, sized Yue Feng up, and said:

"I didn't realize Young Master Yue had such keen insight and knowledge. Indeed, we are subordinates of the Left Master of the Songshan Sect, invited by Brother Lao Denuo to help your Huashan Sect deal with the Qingcheng Sect. This is a matter of kinship among the Five Mountains Sword Sects. Young Master Yue, you wouldn't be so ungrateful, would you?"

Yue Feng shook his head. Bu Chen's expression relaxed, and he loosened his grip on the hilt of his sword. Sha Tianjiang smiled and said, "In that case, bring the wine! Let's drink to our hearts' content, so we'll have the strength to deal with the Qingcheng Sect later."

The three men picked up their wine bowls, exchanged toasts, and drank the wine in their bowls in one gulp.
