This one’s almost taken human form!” Liu Qiaolian’s eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, there were more originally, but I ate two on the way. This nearly human-shaped one is probably four or five hundred years old—keep it safe. Wait until my cultivation advances further, then we’ll slowly consume it.” Xia Daoming grinned proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the journey, Xia Daoming never stopped replenishing his strength—he devoured a hundred-year frost-purple ginseng every three or five days, making Liang Jingtang’s scalp crawl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before entering the city, fearing discovery by the Xu family, Xia Daoming secretly hid the frost-purple ginseng outside the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after the Xu family had inspected them and found nothing suspicious did Xia Daoming slip out of the city that very night to retrieve the satchel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Four or five hundred years old!” Liu Qiaolian gasped, covering her cherry lips with her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she had traveled southeast with Xia Daoming last time, she knew well that a single hundred-year ginseng had cost her master five thousand taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much would a four- or five-hundred-year one cost? Liu Qiaolian couldn’t even imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are a few more here, thirty to fifty years old. With your foundation, if you eat just a little each day, you should handle the medicinal power.” Xia Daoming said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Master. I’ll go fetch hot water for your bath.” Liu Qiaolian bowed in thanks and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Liu Qiaolian return quickly, bending to pour hot water into the wooden tub, steam rising and flushing her fair face with a rosy glow, her hair glistening with droplets—exquisitely alluring—Xia Daoming’s heart burned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lian’er’s gratitude is very sincere!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a solitary bath became a shared one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jingxin Tea House on Qingshi Street, second-floor private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the window, the light rain continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xia Daoming enter, Ji Wenyue sniffed, turned away, and gave him her elegant, slender back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? What’s wrong with this girl today? She never treated me like this before! Could the endless rain and her monthly cycle be making her irritable?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Daoming paused slightly, then stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a man from another world, his knowledge of physiological hygiene was solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood better than any man in this world the complex, subtle emotions women felt during those days of unceasing bleeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you unwell? Is it that time? Don’t drink tea—I’ll ask the staff to bring you some red sugar ginger water.” Xia Daoming stepped closer, speaking gently and considerately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Wenyue had been unable to eat or drink, worrying day and night, since she hadn’t heard word of Xia Daoming’s safe return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that she saw him standing before her, unharmed, a strange fire rose in her chest—she even felt like crying—which was why she turned away and ignored him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had assumed Xia Daoming would understand her feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead, he came straight in with a flood of concern, mentioning “that time” and red sugar ginger water—leaving Ji Wenyue utterly bewildered, mouth agape, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big brother understands—women have those few days every month. During these days, you must keep warm, avoid overexertion, and avoid strong tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And you must keep your mood light—if you’re upset, you can scold Big Brother all you want. Today, I won’t fight back or speak back—just as long as you’re happy.” Xia Daoming continued, his expression tender and caring, watching Ji Wenyue’s stunned face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he secretly felt a small sense of pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This girl must be touched!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hehe, no man in this world understands the suffering of women during those days better than Master Xia!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big brother, what are you talking about!” Ji Wenyue finally caught on, her face flushing crimson as she stamped her foot repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a woman, this was something too shameful to mention—even when it first came, she dared not tell her own mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, this Xia Daoming spoke of it as casually as if discussing the weather!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to be shy—you’re eighteen, it’s perfectly normal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s a ‘big auntie’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem—menstrual flow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big brother, you—you—I’m not talking to you anymore!” Ji Wenyue finally grew so flustered and angry she turned to storm out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Ji Wenyue about to storm off, Xia Daoming was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered back then, when his first love couldn’t come downstairs during her cycle, he’d gone to the supermarket to pick out sanitary pads—the female cashier had looked at him with nothing but admiration and envy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh—this world’s thinking is still so feudal and backward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m too advanced!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big brother truly only cares for you—no other meaning!” Xia Daoming sighed inwardly, then reached out and grabbed Ji Wenyue’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body trembled slightly at the touch of a man’s hand, her heart fluttering like a startled deer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m a girl, Big Brother—you should be more careful with your words!” Ji Wenyue quietly pulled her arm free, brushed her hair back, and blushed faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright. But what I said earlier was serious—girls must take care during their menstrual days.” Xia Daoming said seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know!” Ji Wenyue gave him an exasperated glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If any other man had said this to her, she’d have drawn her sword and stabbed him on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with this man before her, all she felt was flustered—and deep inside, she was strangely warmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good! Wait here a moment—I’ll be right back.” Xia Daoming said, then stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he returned, he carried a steaming pot of red sugar ginger water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Brother Xia, you… I didn’t say I was having it!” Seeing he’d gone out specifically to fetch the ginger water, Ji Wenyue was both touched and flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you weren’t having it, why did you turn your back on me and give me the cold shoulder the moment I walked in?” Xia Daoming blinked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why didn’t you tell me you were going to Cangmang Mountain with Master Liang? I worried for days! Don’t you know Cangmang Mountain is dangerous?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Liang has so many disciples, and you’ve only been his student for less than a year—why did you go? Do you really think you’re that strong? If you hadn’t come back, I—I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Wenyue’s voice grew more agitated, her chest rising and falling, tears welling in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright, I was wrong—I should’ve told you.” Xia Daoming finally understood, his heart touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not just about telling me—it’s that you shouldn’t have gone at all!” Ji Wenyue wiped her tears and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes, you’re right—I’ll change!” Xia Daoming nodded vigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a time like this, when Ji Wenyue was emotionally charged, he had to agree with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her usual domineering Big Brother suddenly so unusually compliant, Ji Wenyue grew uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Brother, I was just worried about you, so I spoke a bit… out of line. You won’t be angry, will you?” Ji Wenyue asked cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, if a beautiful girl cares for me, why would I be angry?” Xia Daoming smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good! Then let me pour tea for Big Brother!” Ji Wenyue’s cheeks flushed slightly as she poured tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, the rain drizzled endlessly; inside, a lone man and woman sat across from each other, sipping tea—the atmosphere was tender and intimate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the days that followed, the situation in Licheng grew increasingly tense and chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zhiji, the elder of the Xu family, had been defeated on Cangmang Mountain, and the five allied forces accompanying him—except for the Qianjiao Martial Hall—suffered heavy losses, with two completely annihilated, not a single survivor left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Shixiong’s branch fared relatively better, but still lost many men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This not only weakened the Xu family’s strength and damaged their prestige, but also caused the severely damaged factions to harbor resentment, with some even openly defecting to the three major powers: the Lin family, the Ding family, and the Tyrant Blade Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one side weakened and the other strengthened, clashes between the Xu family and the three-power alliance grew increasingly frequent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conflict, initially involving only low-level gangs, gradually pulled in factions backed by Grand Martial Masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>News of General Yan Yanfeng, under the Lingzhou Prince’s banner, besieging the state capital in a brutal battle, reached Licheng, plunging the city into even greater panic and dread.\u003C\u002Fp>",1519,"2026-06-20T05:15:29.288Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d4374f0b67187a6ed84ac5f45d5b2b3fbfb3e8791067c96aef3b5fc5edbf5c8d","i-subdue-the-immortals-with-strength-chapter-48","i-subdue-the-immortals-with-strength-chapter-46",484,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-subdue-the-immortals-with-strength-cover.jpg"]
