"My lord."

Her voice was soft and melodious.

It truly sounds like a woman calling out to her beloved.

Shi Yuan was slightly taken aback.

Nanzhi glanced at the boy on her back, a barely perceptible smile playing on her lips: "We're husband and wife now. I call you my husband, why aren't you reacting?"

There seemed to be a hint of laughter in her voice.

Shi Yuan frowned: "Master, I don't think we need to pretend to be husband and wife."

"Hmm, so what do you want to play?" Nanzhi raised an eyebrow. "You want to play my younger brother?"

Shi Yuan's brows were less furrowed.

Nan Zhi smiled and said, "Sure, call me 'sister' first."

Shi Yuan sensed her deliberate flirting.

He curled his lips into a smile, his unfocused eyes crinkling slightly: "Sister."

Since she wanted to play, he played along with her.

That "sister" was too much; Nanzhi almost went weak in the knees.

Shi Yuan could clearly feel that her breathing had stopped.

His lips curved into a wider smile as he leaned closer to her ear, his warm breath filling it.

He called out softly again, "My wife."

Nanzhi's hands, which were wrapped around his legs, suddenly froze.

Shi Yuan was even more pleased, and his voice was slightly teasing: "Does Master prefer me to call you sister or wife?"

Nan Zhi just felt that this little devil was really annoying.

She looked at the mountain road ahead and took a deep breath: "Let's go with my wife."

Shi Yuan chuckled.

interesting.

Killing one's wife seems to bring more pleasure than killing one's master.

Before Nanzhi and his companions even reached Tianxiang Sect, they encountered several members of Tianxiang Sect coming down the mountain.

The disciples of the Tianxiang Sect were dressed rather provocatively, with jingling bells jingling around them. Most of them were women, and they looked vibrant, alluring, and captivating.

Although the man wasn't dressed that revealingly, he was undeniably handsome.

She just smelled a bit too strong.

When the group saw Nanzhi and her companions, they immediately stopped them.

The leader was a woman, dressed much more lavishly, with a floral decoration on her forehead. She was Lou Yuzhu, the vice-leader of the Tianxiang Sect.

Lou Yuzhu's expression changed visibly when she saw Shi Yuan on Nan Zhi's back.

If Nan Zhi wasn't mistaken, it was a desire, a desire for handsome men.

But that look was fleeting, and Lou Yuzhu asked with a kind expression, "Where are you all going?"

Shi Yang was rather naive and immediately said, "We're going to Tianxiang Sect."

Nan Zhi glanced at him without saying a word, and Shi Yang realized that he had said the wrong thing, but it was too late to take it back.

Nanzhi could only try her best to salvage the situation.

“No, we’re going to Liujia Village,” Nanzhi said anxiously. “My husband and two younger brothers are injured, and we’re in a hurry to get back to find someone to treat them.”

Lou Yuzhu asked with concern, "How did you get injured?"

Nanzhi sighed, "We were on our way to visit relatives in Zhaoyang City in the east, but we hadn't been gone long when we encountered bandits on the road. They robbed us of all our money and even injured my husband and brothers..."

Nanzhi's eyes reddened as she spoke.

Although she transformed into an ordinary woman this time, she was still quite beautiful.

She possessed an ethereal quality, and her captivating peach blossom eyes were truly exceptional.

The way she looked, with tears welling up but not falling, was truly heartbreaking.

The man behind Lou Yuzhu stared intently into Nan Zhi's eyes and chuckled, "Liu Family Village is right behind Tianxiang Gate, but the road is a bit complicated, and you might easily get lost. Shall we take you there?"

Nanzhi looked somewhat wary: "No need, it's too much trouble, let's go ourselves."

Nan Zhi was carrying Shi Yuan and was trying to miss them when she suddenly heard a cold laugh.

The man was the left protector of the Tianxiang Sect, named Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming scoffed, "You've already entered Tianxiang Sect's territory, do you think you can escape?"

Nan Zhi was startled and looked up at Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming met her gaze and revealed a malicious smile.

"Little beauty, and three other guys, you're not getting away tonight."

He raised his hand, and a wonderful fragrance wafted over.

Nanzhi's vision went black, and she fell straight to the ground.

Shi Yuan, who was on her back, also fell beside her.

Seeing that their master and Shi Yuan had both fainted, Shi Yao and Shi Yang quickly pretended to faint as well.

When the female disciples behind Lou Yuzhu saw that the three handsome young men had all collapsed, they cheered, "Great! We can use these young men to refine incense again tonight!"

Lou Yuzhu glanced at Shi Yang and Shi Yao on the ground. Because their appearances had changed so much, she didn't pause and focused her gaze directly on Shi Yuan's face.

She slightly curled the corners of her lips: "The other two men are yours, this one is mine."

As she spoke, she bent down and personally helped Shi Yuan up.

Yuan Ming, on the other hand, picked up Nan Zhi.

He grabbed Nanzhi by the back of her collar, carefully examining her small face, and then leaned in to smell it with satisfaction.

"A scent of peach blossoms, and a pleasant fragrance of a virgin." He sneered, "I knew this little girl was lying to me."

A female disciple behind him said, "He must have been scared because there were so many of us, so he lied."

This idea was reasonable, and given the fear in Nan Zhi's voice, none of them doubted it.

They treated them as ordinary passersby.

Yuan Ming was very satisfied. He stroked Nan Zhi's chin and ordered, "Make the arrangements. I want to consummate my marriage with this little girl tonight."

No one noticed that after Yuan Ming finished speaking, Shi Yuan, who was being dragged along by Lou Yuzhu, frowned slightly.

Nan Zhi and the others were taken back to Tianxiang Sect.

She felt like she had been carelessly thrown to the ground.
