"Y-You wait a moment."

After she recovered, Han Xiao Ying's face could barely hide her excitement; the familiar embrace and mischievous hands made her body gradually soften, and after she pressed down the discomfort, she whispered:

"Why did you come?"

"First, first, untie the acupoints."

Niu Dingtian ignored it, gently biting the pink earlobe while raising both hands to probe, and after finally grasping two soft lumps, he couldn't help but roughly knead them, breathing heavily and growling:

"Hmph~ I am the Divine Sect's enforcer of rewarding the good and punishing the evil, 'Goodness is repaid with hunger', and tonight I will harshly punish you, Han Xiao Ying!!!"

Without heeding the protest from the person in his arms, after the acupoints were released and the clothes stripped in two motions, he tossed the female knight Han onto the bed and pounced.

"Don't have anyone next door."

"Wuwu~"

He immediately lifted the other's body and slipped to the wall.

But after seeing the hall filled with a sea of dark people, she became somewhat shy, so she told the master her body felt uneasy and came early to this empty courtyard.

"Sure enough, only the exhausted Niu! Today this Niu will make you, Han Xiao Ying, fully convinced!"

Not at all.

Driven by curiosity, she quietly pressed against the corner to listen, but soon a suppressed low gasp came from the next room; what happened to the guest next door? As the eerie sound grew louder, she began to feel uneasy involuntarily.

The claw struck without flashing away, but Niu Dingtian increased the force in his hand, gave a firm pinch, and complained:

What a strange feeling.

After secretly listening for a while, she finally couldn't bear it any longer, flushed and embarrassed, and crawled into her own quilt; she covered herself with the blanket for a long time, but the sound kept escalating without restraint. In the end she simply stuck her head out, closed her eyes, and gasped rapidly.

The now-aware female knight Han's face was filled with terror, and she hurriedly tried to struggle.

"Creak~ creak~"

"The quality of Lord Lu's family's bed is really subpar! It really torments the little girl next door."

Chen Yaojia, who lived just across the wall, also did not attend tonight's banquet; originally she had been eager to witness the heroic bearing of various champions.

——

After locking the door and finishing her bath, she changed into a set of pajamas, recalled today's first foray into the jianghu, glanced at the treasured sword on the table, and began to sigh dejectedly.

"Sss~"

The brat naturally knew someone was in the next room, but this empty courtyard now had no one else; what could a little girl like her understand? If it were the old Taoist nun Sun Bu'er, perhaps it wouldn't be impossible to try.

"You~"

"Are you crazy? You'll hear it!"

Is there a mouse in the next room?

As the afterglow faded, Han Xiao Ying caught her breath, and after hearing Niu Dingtian's shameless words, recalling the earlier absurdity, she couldn't help but flash a reddened, coquettish glance, saw his indifferent demeanor, felt a surge of embarrassment, and raised her hand to strike the mischievous claw.

"Creak~~"

She sighed under the bed for a long while, and just as she was about to get on the bed to lie down, she suddenly heard "creak~ creak~" coming from next door.

"Hm?"

After several bouts of cloud and rain, Niu Dingtian felt satisfied and refreshed. Cradling the snow‑white body while lying on the bed, ignoring Han Xiao Ying's objections, he began to toy with his mouthful of food and sighed:

"Hehe~ I've heard it for a long time!"

Niu Dingtian was utterly domineering; the moment his words fell,

Han Xiao Ying was powerless to resist, could only clench her teeth tightly, daring not to make any sound.

Half an hour later,

the outcome was decided,

Having surrendered, Han Xiao Ying could not muster any strength, quietly lying in his arms to rest, then pressed close again, murmuring softly:

"How did you come to Taihu? I thought we'd really have to wait until next year to see you."

Through this most primal exchange, she spoke her feelings without any concealment; such blunt, clingy words would be hard to come from the poised and refined female knight Han unless this collision shattered the shackles in her heart.

Feeling the affection of the one in his arms, Niu Dingtian felt pity, tightened his embrace, placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, and softly said:

"Half a month ago I went to Peach Blossom Island, just returned from the sea a few days ago, and this time I came to Guiyun Manor for some matters; I didn't expect to meet Sister Xiao Ying here."

Mentioning the sea inevitably brings back that encounter; even now it still makes his heart flutter. He wanted to confide in the Han sister in his arms, but when the words reached his lips, he forced them back down.

He was also puzzled about how he escaped that ordeal; logically, if he had passed out in such a raging storm, he should have sunk into the sea. Yet at the moment of unconsciousness, he vaguely felt a cultivation technique reactivating within him, seemingly that mysterious breathing method.

Feeling the warm body beside her, Han Xiao Ying said no more; she closed her eyes to savor the moment's warmth, and after a while her lashes twitched slightly, then she slowly opened her eyes and said softly:

"I... I want a child."

She had seriously considered this just now; earlier Sister Li's reminder made her subconsciously avoid it.

But this sudden encounter, the brief joy, jolted her awake again. How many more years can she enjoy such a warm moment? Perhaps ten years, or twenty, and when her looks fade, she may no longer have the right to lie beside this man.

"A child?" Niu Dingtian couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, then paused: perhaps he's still a child? After regaining his senses, he couldn't help but look down.

His face full of surprise and unblinking gaze made Han Xiao Ying slightly embarrassed; speaking of wanting a child from a daughter's mouth is inevitably awkward, but after steadying herself, she said firmly:

"Hmm, I want a child!"

"Sister Xiao Ying, are you sure?" Staring tightly at Han Xiao Ying, Niu Dingtian's eyes flickered; he could probably guess her thoughts, and he felt no repulsion at all.

Having a child seems nice; the two harrowing experiences have made him somewhat vigilant, for if one day he truly dies, at least he could stage a melodramatic revenge plot as a father years later.

"Confirmed!"

After hearing Niu Dingtian's words, Han Xiao Ying nodded firmly, but after a long while saw no decision from him, and gradually she began to feel uneasy:

Does he not want it in his heart?

Indeed, he's still like a child himself, so how could he have a child with someone whose name is not proper and whose words are not smooth.

Thinking about it, the expression in her eyes gradually dimmed.

"What the hell is Xiao Ying sis just standing there for?" Niu Dingtian suddenly flashed a lecherous grin, half-smiling as he stared over, but his hands remained honest, not making the slightest overstep.

Upon hearing that guy's words, Han Xiao Ying blinked slightly, then after reacting felt a surge of joy, and, suppressing her shyness, slowly moved closer, her eyes gradually welling up.

This alluring demeanor directly caused Niu Dingtian's inner blood and qi to surge instantly.

"Hahahaha~~"

Just then, a strange burst of loud laughter suddenly came from the distant courtyard, followed by a clattering sound from the next room.

"Fuck!"

"Is this little girl eavesdropping?"

Niu Dingtian couldn't help but be stunned.

"Fuck! Looking for death?" But after reacting, he flared up again; at this critical juncture, how could he give up? He immediately plunged in, quickly continuing his action.

Caught off guard, Han Xiao Ying's breathing grew ragged; suppressing her trembling, she urgently urged: "Get out!! Mei Chaofeng is coming!"

"That bitch coming over to mess with us—nothing is more important than what we're doing right now! Sir, child!"

At the critical moment, Niu Dingtian simply ignored it, instead his movements below grew more fierce; then he glanced over and said: "Can Xiao Ying sis still speak? Do you still want the child?"

Han Xiao Ying had wanted to advise further, but her mind went blank from the impact; she could only raise a hand to cover her mouth, letting him continue his ravaging from behind.

"Ding~ding~"

"Ding~dang~"

Just as the two's emotions began to stir, a sudden clash of weapons rang out from afar, then gradually drew nearer, slowly moving toward this side.

"Get out quickly!!"

After noticing the commotion outside, Han Xiao Ying gradually came to her senses, then patted Niu Dingtian behind her with a panicked face, saying: "They're coming after us! Hurry up and get out!!"

I had originally planned to let that guy have his way with me, but now outsiders are fighting their way over here; if we were caught in the act, I'd probably be too ashamed to live.

"Really fucking looking for death!! At this point, am I in a hurry to be reborn?" Seeing his good deed about to be ruined, Niu Dingtian couldn't help but curse.

"You first!!!!"

Han Xiao Ying urged again urgently.

"Niu Er, you."

Seeing this person act like a stubborn bull that won't obey, Han Xiao Ying felt a surge of anger, grew so furious she lost her filter, and finally was so angry she couldn't speak.

Seeing that Xiao Ying sis in his arms seemed truly about to get angry.

Han Xiao Ying turned to urge him again, but seeing his bloodshot eyes and dissatisfied look, in desperation the heroine leaned to his ear and humbly begged: "You go first! After they leave, I—I'll follow you."

After begging, worried it still wouldn't work, she endured the discomfort, added a coquettish tone, and whined: "Is it okay?"

"Hiss~"

This is truly deadly!

"This is what you said!!"

Perhaps thinking of something good, and seeing the heroine's alluring, coquettish demeanor, Niu Dingtian's eyes lit up; he then suppressed his inner agitation and spoke in a low, hoarse voice: "Really, at that time you'll follow me no matter what? Anything goes? No taking it back!"

Seeing the bull loosen up, Han Xiao Ying didn't bother to think further, hastily urging: "Whatever you want! Whatever you want! Whenever, you can do anything!!"

"Hehehe~~" After quickly getting up and dressing, he prepared to charge out; these bastards who ruin good deeds deserve no forgiveness—he intends to let none of them off.

But he hadn't noticed that outside the courtyard now seemed quiet.

Han Xiao Ying, finally free of restraint, couldn't help but glare fiercely; regardless of his smug expression, she hurried to rise, intending to dress and go with him to the front reception hall to see, where several elder brothers still were.

After dressing, Niu Dingtian saw Xiao Ying's thoughts, directly reached out to block her naked body, stroked her smooth shoulder, then domineeringly pressed her back, and stared into her eyes, saying without doubt:

"Xiao Ying sis, you just stay in this room honestly and wait for me to return! No going out!"

Seeing her eyes full of surprise and confusion, he put on a solemn face and said:

"Xiao Ying sis, I don't care what grudges your sworn big brother Ke Zhen'e has with Mei Chaofeng; anyway, I won't let you get involved again!"

The grudges between the Jiangnan Seven Heroes and Mei Chaofeng ultimately stem from that blind man's brother first launching a siege against them; for his own petty affairs he's dragged many into trouble, yet he still goes about as if nothing's wrong, bumping around and arguing. Niu Dingtian has no interest in wiping Ke Zhen'e's ass.

"Rest assured, if his life is in danger, I will protect his life even under Mei Chaofeng's hands."

This is his promise, though it hardly counts as one; even without these words, when the time comes to act, he'll naturally step in for Xiao Ying sis's sake.

Perhaps because she had never seen Niu Dingtian so solemn in giving her instructions, and with such firm attitude, Xiao Ying dared not be careless.

"Mm~"

After a brief struggle in her eyes, she quickly complied obediently.

This is probably the most common trait of women of this era—single-minded devotion. Once they give themselves to the person they love, their former steadfastness and concerns seem to shift.

But she is also smart, naturally aware that Niu Dingtian's protective nature means that even if he doesn't say it outright, he will certainly care about certain things concerning her.

Seeing Xiao Ying comply, Niu Dingtian's heart swelled with joy; in his view, this was Xiao Ying sis having made a choice between her sworn brothers and him.

Although this coercion is somewhat selfish, seeing Xiao Ying's attitude like this, he doesn't mind.

He then cupped her lovely face, ignoring her protests, and planted a hard kiss on her lips; after pulling back, he said:

"This is my good sister!"

After donning his ghost-face mask, Niu Dingtian stepped out, his silhouette already flashing outside.

By then the fighters in the courtyard had long since departed; he muttered a curse under his breath and swiftly darted toward the reception hall.
