Liu Guihua laughed heartily, her laughter resonating with clarity and boldness, like a mountain stream rushing forward with immense strength, causing the entire bathing room to reverberate subtly.
She grinned and said, "Indeed, hubby! As long as our family is united and together, we fear no treachery nor dark forces stirring trouble in the Jianghu. To me, you are the all-powerful hero, and with you around, I feel we can even support the heavens if they were to fall!"
Her smile was as radiant as the noonday sun, and her gaze held absolute trust and deep dependence on Shi Feiyang without reservation.
At this moment, Gong Simeng and Bai Zhi also drew closer in the water. Gong Simeng blushed slightly, her eyes full of admiration, gently pulling Shi Feiyang’s sleeve, saying softly, "Shi Lang, seeing your invincible bravery on the battlefield today, my heart raced like a little rabbit. You are the hero of my heart, and no matter what happens, I want to stay by your side, wash your clothes, cook for you, warm your bed; just watching you makes me incredibly happy."
Bai Zhi’s cheeks were red, her eyes lowered as she shyly said, "Shi Lang, I’ve admired you for a long time. Though I lack great ability, I wish to stay by your side forever, serving you tea and water. If I can ease your worries even slightly, I would be content." Instantly, the room was filled with an overwhelming sense of warmth and sweetness, like an otherworldly haven filled with enchanting bliss.
After bathing, they all held hands and walked to the sleeping chamber.
In the sleeping chamber, the bedding was as soft as clouds, the embroidered pillows exquisite and luxurious, with every detail exuding warmth and comfort.
Shi Feiyang lay with his wives, the room filled with the scent of happiness, rich like aged wine, intoxicating at the mere whiff. They cuddled together, their warmth merging, continuously sharing endless warmth and affection.
Soon, they drifted into sweet dreams, as if all worldly woes had vanished like smoke, absorbed in joy, as if floating, completely secluded from the noise and chaos of the world, leaving only sweetness and peace.
The next morning, the dawn trickled through the carved windows like delicate gold threads, bringing a hint of warmth to the space.
However, this warmth was unable to dispel the faint tension in the air.
The "Flying Eagle Detective" Xie Wen returned hurriedly, his demeanor solemn, as if carrying the lingering cold frost of the night, exuding a murderous aura. Upon hearing from the maid outside the room that Hero Xie had returned, Shi Feiyang’s heart stirred, and he immediately rose, gently closing the door behind him.
Seeing Shi Feiyang appear, Xie Wen quickly stepped forward, kneeling on one knee and saluting with clasped fists, his attitude extremely respectful.
He spoke aloud, "Grand Squad Leader, I have fortunately completed my mission and found the whereabouts of the Blood Venerable. His hideout is located over a hundred miles away, beneath a rocky mountain, where there is a Blood Pool. This Blood Pool spans only about an acre but is surrounded by towering cliffs. These cliffs resemble grim giant hands encircling the Blood Pool tightly in the center. Seen from afar, the Blood Pool looks like a deep ancient well, exuding a mysterious and sinister aura. The water in the pool is crimson to the point of being glaring, like fresh flowing blood, continuously churning as if countless souls are struggling within, emitting a nauseating stench, fearing to easily gaze upon it."
Speaking here, Xie’s voice trembled slightly, clearly the sight of the Blood Pool had left him with an extremely deep and horrifying impression.
"It’s rumored that the lord of this Blood Pool was the Blood Demon, renowned a hundred years ago in the Northwest Martial Arts. This demon is still alive today, reckoned to be around a hundred and twenty years old, with martial skills unfathomable, rampant in the Northwest, undefeated. Those who dare provoke him are drained of blood, which is then deposited into the Blood Pool. That pool has likely accumulated countless souls’ blood, making it a Human Purgatory."
Xie Wen continued, his words filled with fear and hatred towards the Blood Demon.
Upon hearing this, Shi Feiyang’s brows instantly drew together tightly, his eyes flashed with resolve, like lightning in a cold night, exuding courage and determination. He slowly stood, his straight back like resilient pines, gazing firmly towards the distant Blood Pool.
He said solemnly, "This Blood Demon has wrought much evil, plaguing the Jianghu for long. Today, I must go meet him. The Jianghu belongs to countless heroes and common folk, and cannot be left for such villains to rampage. Being born in this world, with exceptional martial skills, I must strive for peace and give the people a serene life."
His voice was deep and powerful, like the resounding of a great bell, echoing in the morning air, filled with reassuring majesty.
Having said this, Shi Feiyang slowly turned, his gaze gently resting on the wives who had just exited the room.
In that moment, his eyes were like the lake surface caressed by the warm spring sun, gentle as water, with waves of care and deep reluctance rippling within.
