Chapter 631: Spouses Are Birds of the Same Forest

Wang Ping'an originally intended to admire how the generals and cavalry summoned by the General's Ode, under the boost of "Astral: Sun", dealt with Zuo He, when his peripheral vision suddenly saw Zhu Xing's carriage being driven by a sexy beauty seated at the helm, preparing to make the carriage depart, and exclaimed in surprise:

"Are we running now?"

Logically, from Zhang Fu to Zuo He, it made him clearly realize that Zhu Xing was unusual, not like an ordinary playboy.

Letting Zhu Xing escape like this is actually no problem; he must leave that incorrigible scoundrel to Le Zhuang so that Le Zhuang can avenge his parents, but he is worried that Zhu Xing is more formidable than he imagined.

If he doesn't confirm whether Zhu Xing is, as he suspects, a wolf in sheep's clothing with great skill, letting him leave might cause Le Zhuang, who seeks revenge on Zhu Xing, to be overturned in the future.

At this thought, Wang Ping'an no longer hesitated; he moved, emerged from his hiding place, transformed into a streak of Flowing Light, and at breakneck speed chased after Zhu Xing, who was driving the carriage away.

"What is that?"

Zuo He, brandishing his long sword, was fully resisting the assault of the generals and cavalry, never imagining that in the blink of an eye, the generals and cavalry that had been before him like fish on a chopping board, ready for him to carve up,

How could they suddenly become so powerful!

His peripheral vision suddenly caught a streak of Flowing Light, and when he looked closely,

It was a Paper Person, a Paper Person wielding a long sword; from this Paper Person he sensed a familiar aura, that of a kindred, the aura unique to Sword Cultivators.

He never expected that a Paper Person could be a Sword Cultivator; this absent‑minded one was struck by a general's spear, but fortunately he wore a low‑grade treasure, otherwise the blow would have been fatal, yet even so it blasted him heavily into the air.

The overwhelming collision force caused him to spit a mouthful of fresh blood while suspended in mid‑air.

"Young master, an enemy attack!"

A startled shout rang out; Zhu Xing turned his head and saw a streak of Flowing Light, but with his keen eyesight he quickly realized that the pursuer was a Paper Person wielding a long sword, exuding extraordinary aura, and said, "Who among you will deal with this Evil Cultivator?"

Not long ago, having witnessed the masterful Ghost‑Wall technique, he guessed that the Sword Cultivator ambushing him likely possessed some talent and hobby for unorthodox paths; otherwise he wouldn't have cultivated the unsanctioned Ghost‑Wall art to such a level, and even Evil Cultivators who specialize in Ghost‑Wall might not match him.

At this moment.

Seeing the Paper Person with the long sword, he realized his speculation was correct, yet his heart was still unusually shocked.

Zhu Xing couldn't help muttering inwardly, "This Sword Cultivator, his mind must have been trapped; he abandons the proper Sword Cultivator path to study unorthodox ways, wasting how much time to bring Ghost‑Wall and Paper Person control spells to this level—so much time that his own realm could have multiplied several folds!"

However, he was relieved that the ambusher hadn't devoted all his energy to the Sword Cultivator path; otherwise, given this dog's talent, he couldn't guarantee how far the opponent could go on that path—perhaps he wouldn't even last a single round in the mortal realm.

"Young master, judging by your words, our abilities are only good in bed; aside from serving you, what else can we do?"

The three beauties scoffed in unison; they possessed some skill, but only a little, and knew exactly their own weight. From Wang Ping'an's display just now, whether Zhang Fu or Zuo He, none could gain any advantage before him, so they dared not imagine they could deal with Wang Ping'an, saying:

"It still takes you, young master, to resolve it!"

"You three worthless things!"

Zhu Xing cursed once, yet was not angry; the three beauties' behavior did not surprise him.

He didn't expect the three beauties to agree to help him deal with Wang Ping'an; even if one of them were clueless, she would merely be a tool to test Wang Ping'an's skill. From the start, he never expected these three beauties to resolve Wang Ping'an.

"Young master, as you say, we are worthless; otherwise we wouldn't have been shattered by you!"

A beauty giggled, completely unfazed by Zhu Xing's insult; she was used to harsher words from him in bed and had become immune. Watching Zhu Xing rise and fly toward the pursuing Wang Ping'an, she intended to admire his heroic bearing, when her peripheral vision caught a beauty reverting to her true form, turning into a fox, preparing to slip away, and said:

"Sister, where are you heading? Not staying here to await the young master's triumphant return? Or do you think the young master cannot match this Evil Cultivator?"

"Little sister, I know Zhu Xing's prowess even better than you; this Evil Cultivator may have skill, but he dares not reveal his true form, instead controlling Paper Persons against foes, likely unable to exert even half his ability, let alone be a match for Zhu Xing!"

The Fox Demon said lightly, no longer showing the former intimacy with Zhu Xing, and said, "Little sister, you should understand who Zhu Xing has provoked—a being who can casually tear apart Confucian masters' writings and wield Astral‑master techniques, most likely a favored scion of a great clan. Zhu Xing may be strong, but I don't think he can gain any benefit from antagonizing such a being!"

This novel you...

"Sister, you are afraid of being implicated, hence the saying 'the best strategy is to flee'…"

Before the beauty could finish speaking, the Fox Demon impatiently interrupted, "Little sister, you're right; I'm afraid of being implicated. After all, I haven't lived enough yet, and there are many handsome men in this world—I don't want to get tangled up!"

Another beauty reminded, "Sister, don't forget the young master's other identity; even if his ambusher is a favored scion of a great clan, they still can't do anything to the young master!"

"It's not that I forgot Zhu Xing's other identity; it's that you don't know how powerful the great families are…"

The Fox Demon wanted to say something else, but at that moment Wang Ping'an was already engaged in combat with Zhu Xing, and the words at the tip of its tongue were swallowed back. Hastily it spoke, "If you intend to die together with Young Master Zhu, then stay here; I must leave!"

Having said that, the Fox Demon didn't wait for the two beauties to respond, turned, and fled at top speed.

The two beauties glanced at the departing Fox Demon, then at Zhu Xing battling in the sky, and after exchanging a look, said, "Shall we escape as well?"
