Chapter 199: Madam is jealous? Taking the opportunity to punish (Please read)

turn out to be……

After the lady loosened her control, Li Xian thrived, indulging in unrestrained joy and freedom. The lady, however, devoted her energy to tending to the "golden carp in the pond" and comprehending the essence of the art.

Today's meal was completed, and while I was happy, I deeply felt that I had neglected my "Silkworm Silk Inlay Technique" for a long time. My skills had declined considerably.

I inquired about Uncle Xiang and Li Xian's recent situation. I learned that although he hadn't neglected his martial arts, he was naturally playful, often riding his horse around, sometimes admiring the scenery, sometimes revisiting old haunts. I couldn't help but smile; young men, when caught up in their fun, inevitably forget to go home.

Madam Wen said, "The snowstorm in Qingning has been blowing for ten days straight and may not stop. My Silkworm Jade Inlay Technique is gradually regressing. If Immortal Li does not return, there will be no one to help me practice."

They wanted to summon Li Xian back.

However, the wind and snow were so heavy that ordinary guards and servants would get lost if they left the manor and had no ability to summon him. After thinking it over, Madam Wen decided that it would be better to call him herself.

And so this scene unfolded.

She wore a flowing white robe, her hands clasped in front of her abdomen, her demeanor dignified.

Li Xian hurried to greet her, asking, "Madam, what brings you here?"

"What?" Madam Wen retorted, "Can't I come?"

“If you can come, you can come,” Li Xian said.

Madam Wen stepped across the threshold and saw a table set up in the courtyard with hot soup. She said, "You rascal, always coming up with strange ideas. Why are you eating in the courtyard on such a snowy day? Have you nowhere else to go?"

The servants looked at each other, then put down their bowls and chopsticks and respectfully greeted, "Madam!"

Madam Wen nodded and said, "Is this where you sit in your office?"

Li Xian took her hand and led her inside, saying as they walked, "Yes, that's my study, that's my inner courtyard, where I practice martial arts. This is where they live..." He pointed to each place.

Madam Wen said, "Though the sparrow is small, it has all the vital organs." She walked slowly and gracefully. Luo Xia and the other constables stiffened, their blood ran cold, and their eyes drooped, only daring to glance at the hem of her skirt.

Li Xian asked, "Madam, in this blizzard... why did you come here personally? If there's anything you need, please let me know."

Madam Wen did not answer, but instead asked, "Are these people your brothers-in-arms?"

"Yes," Li Xian nodded.

"Brothers in arms?" Madam Wen asked curiously, "Would they really die for you?"

Zhang Hou strode forward and said firmly, "Madam, I am truly willing to die for you, sir."

"Oh?" Madam Wen said, "Really?" After speaking, she flipped her slender hand, condensing a stream of internal energy. She gently struck out.

The inner energy manifested, displaying five colors. It floated extremely slowly, as if taking steps. Li Xian said, "Lord Zhang, step back!"

Seeing the colorful energy hurtling towards him, Zhang Hou swallowed hard, his eyes resolute. He stood rooted to the spot. Li Xian channeled his energy, intending to send Zhang Hou flying through the air.

The lady raised her hand and pinched his wrist, her fingertips applying gentle force, instantly immobilizing him. Li Xian was unable to move. Seeing this, Zhang Hou thought to himself, "Since he's going to his death, I might as well be more generous. Why make things difficult for Lord Li?" He resolutely stepped forward and collided with the Five-Colored Qi Palm.

He shuddered, and a burst of blood mist erupted.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Hou suddenly exclaimed "Huh?" and asked, "How come I'm not dead?"

Madam Wen said, "Why would I kill you? This internal energy will force out the impure blood in your body. It will do you no good."

"It's good that you were willing to die for me. Do the same in the future."

"But someone else thinks I'm malicious."

He glanced at Li Xian.

Li Xian said, "I am willing to be punished rather than let Brother Zhang die for me."

Madam Wen said, "Hmph!" She pushed Li Xian's hand away, her eyes slightly cold. She was not very satisfied with Li Xian's performance today. But it was inevitable that his true feelings would show, given his personality.

"If he shows no reaction at all, then I need to be wary of his deep scheming. His performance just now wasn't very good. But I'll just say he needs my guidance. There's still a long way to go, and I can teach him slowly." Madam Wen thought to herself, and then slightly raised her hand, allowing Li Xian to support her again.

Li Xian knew that his wife was capricious and could take lives without hesitation, regardless of the consequences. Leaving them there would only increase their danger. He immediately said, "Zhang Hou, Wang Wu, you take your men and clean up the boilers. The banquet is canceled for today. I have something to discuss with my wife."

Zhang Hou, Wang Wu, and their servants breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "This lady is terrifying!" They quickly cleared the table.

Madam Wen raised her hand and gestured for everyone to stop. She said, "I see that we haven't finished eating all the food on the table. The charcoal fire under the stove is burning brightly, so why are we in such a hurry?"

"Now that I'm here, and you are all brothers Xiaoxian, please sit down."

Madam Wen sat down, adjusting her skirt, and the servants followed suit. Li Xian brought over bowls and chopsticks, filled them with hot soup, and presented them to Madam Wen.

Madam Wen said, "This wicked idea was yours, wasn't it? Cooking food in the wind and snow, I've only ever seen you do that in all these years."

"If you were to encounter that old eccentric, your temperament would be quite compatible with his."

Li Xian guessed, "The lady specifically sought me out; she must be trying to master the Silkworm Jade Inlay Technique." He then asked, "And where is the lady?"

Madam Wen smiled but remained silent. The atmosphere eased, and everyone drank a few cups of wine, their courage bolstered.

Madam Wen asked softly, "You are all brothers of Li Xian. Tell me, does he have any lovers in Qingning County? Does he seduce respectable women?"

The constables often heard Luo Xia say, "Your Wu Weilang seems to have it all, ruling like a king at such a young age. And he's got a lot of luck with women. But actually... that luck is hard to bear. Beauty is a scalpel, and that woman's beauty is an even more serrated scalpel."

Only now do I truly understand. Zhang Hou said, "Madam, Lord Li is a righteous man who fights against evil and upholds justice; he would never provoke a respectable woman."

Wang Wufu exclaimed, “Yes, Lord Li has many admirers, but he is virtuous and kind by nature. He does not associate with women and is diligent in martial arts, which is beyond our reach. Madam, you can rest assured.”

Li Xian exclaimed, "My efforts in nurturing you have not been in vain!"

"Oh?" Madam Wen said, "Not interested in women? There is a woman here, after all."

She had noticed Luo Xia long ago. She lifted Luo Xia's chin with her fingers, examined her cheeks, and suddenly laughed, "What a beautiful face! How come half of your face is burned off?"

His tone concealed joy, and he felt slightly relieved.

"Madam, it was a treacherous villain who injured me," Luo Xia said cautiously.

Madam Wen said, "In that case, you should assist Xiaoxian well." She glanced at everyone and said, "I have important matters to attend to, so I will not discuss them with you all in detail. You may continue to eat and drink. Xiaoxian, we are leaving."

Li Xian said, "Yes," and helped the lady away. The two disappeared into the snowstorm.

In Wuwei Hall.

The constables all breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that their clothes were soaked with sweat. Luo Xia sighed, "Madam Broken Sword... is becoming more and more terrifying."

"I must say, Li Xian is indeed quite capable. Judging from this, Madam Zhejian and Li Xian have a good relationship. Did he really manage to win over this ruthless beauty of the martial world?"

"How will you enjoy this good fortune? If you don't handle it well, you could face utter ruin."

...

…

Inside the Tower of Tranquility.

Candles are lit on all sides, while outside the tower, the wind howls and frost howls incessantly, but inside the tower, all is quiet and peaceful.

Lady Wen removed her robes and sat cross-legged to regulate her breathing. She had neglected her silk-silk robe and jade-inlaid training for over a month, and felt a growing sense of urgency. There was also a hidden expectation within her.

Madam Wen said, "Little Fairy, you don't need to leave the tower this time you're in seclusion. The wind and snow outside are too strong, and you can't go out anyway."

"Wouldn't that be disrespectful to Madam?" Li Xian asked.

“You rascal,” Madam Wen said, “haven’t you seen enough?” She put her hands behind her back and said again, “Help me put on my silkworm clothes!” Her face was slightly flushed.

The silkworm-like garment moves across the body, sealing the joints and blocking the acupoints throughout the body.

Madam Wen's eyes flickered, recalling how formidable and powerful she was when she was out in the world. But whenever she practiced this skill, she inevitably felt controlled and manipulated by others.

Although her limbs were immobile, her internal energy was pure. Lady Zhejian still possessed many skills.

Thoughts drifted, and feelings arose suddenly.

My heart pounded like a deer, and I felt like a cat was scratching at me.

Seeing that the lady had fallen into his hands, Li Xian breathed a slight sigh of relief and thought to himself, "If I could beat you, I would definitely turn the tables now."

Madam Wen's silk-embroidered robe was finished, making it difficult for her to move; all the joints in her arms and wrists were restrained. Li Xian joked, "Madam, you're in my hands now."

"You little rascal, what do you want?" Madam Wen was not angry at all; her eyebrows curved, her expression a mixture of shyness and reproach.

Li Xian thought to himself that the lady's attitude had changed step by step along the way. He had shared meals and drinks with her in Taihang Mountain City. He then tentatively said, "I need to deal with the lady properly."

"You little ingrate, tell me, how are you going to deal with me?" Madam Wen said softly.

Li Xian said, "Madam, please promise me that you will allow me to do whatever I want and that you will never blame me in the future."

"Good lad, you've even learned to threaten me." Madam Wen's voice was as soft as honey, her heart fluttering. "I'd like to see just how bold this boy is." She said, "Go ahead and try. We're as close as family. As long as it's not the last step, I won't blame you."

Li Xian gently stroked her jade-like neck and said, "My lady doesn't blame me for doing this or that?"

Madam Wen said, "I am a woman of the martial world, do you think I am a shy and timid young lady?"

Li Xian asked, "Then how about this?" She gently brushed her hair aside.

Madam Wen frowned and said, "With such courage, you're really boring. Just come on then."

Suddenly startled, she sensed a sudden shift in the situation, a sudden and fierce attack. Madam Wen raised an eyebrow, realizing, "This lad was just playing hard to get with me; I've actually fallen for his trap."

Taking advantage of a rare opportunity, Li Xian boldly disciplined his wife. He skillfully employed the Eight Styles of Cloud-Piercing Techniques, causing his wife to sometimes scold him and sometimes tremble with excitement.

They fooled around for half an hour. The lady's eyes were like water, rippling with emotion. She leaned against Li Xian's chest.

Madam Wen's pretty face flushed red as she said, "Little fairy, I need to cultivate. You should leave the tower."

Li Xian should be right. Stepping out of the tower, he saw the fragrant spring blossoms in the inner courtyard. Recalling the scene inside the tower, he sighed:

"The lady is ruthless, vicious, and cold-blooded. Yet she is still a woman."

"Only by truly surpassing Madam in strength can one force her to reveal her feminine side."

Li Xian washed away the fragrance from his hands, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and continued to practice martial arts, striving for improvement.

Madam Wen closed her eyes and practiced internal cultivation, her skill gradually improving. Before long, she opened her eyes, her cheeks still flushed, then flushed anew. Recalling the scene just now, she wondered when she had ever been manipulated like this before.

As a woman of noble birth, Lady Zhejian, if someone provokes or insults her, she would surely kill them without hesitation. But at this moment, she is not angry.

Instead, she felt both shy and happy, finding the situation quite strange. She scolded him, "A true master doesn't reveal his true colors. This kid has really become lawless when he gets bold."

"You don't really need to be too obedient, otherwise it will be quite boring."

"I'll indulge you a few more times. Once I've got my hands on the Gu, I'll slowly teach you the ways of the world."
