Yes, Ashiluo had little time remaining.
Only seven days remained until that sacred day, until he became a Hell Knight.
That was his greatest day. His entire life had been for that day.
So before then, he had to resolve all mortal matters, within these two days.
And the only mortal matter remaining for him was one thing, sleeping with Ashi Liren, one hundred times!
Previously, he had never felt time was pressing, for what he had in most abundance was time. So for more than ten years, he had spent all his time upon women, either currently bedding women, or on the road to bedding women.
Because many years ago, his destiny had been decided. But he had not known exactly which day it would arrive.
Now, that day was suddenly about to arrive, and he did not have enough time.
Ashiluo looked at the red, cloaked woman Auntie Huo before him and said, “How many years have you followed me?”
“Over ten years.” Red Cloak Auntie Huo said.
Ashiluo sighed and said, “I have bedded every woman by my side, except you.”
Red Cloak Auntie Huo knelt down, prostrating on the ground, raising her buttocks high and said, “Please grant your servant the master’s favour?”
“Hahaha…” Ashiluo said, “You clearly know I am abstaining, waiting to feast upon the grand meal.”
Red Cloak Auntie Huo rose, standing quietly before him.
Ashiluo said, “I do not know who you are, or rather who you once were.”
Red Cloak Auntie Huo said, “Who I once was is not important. What matters is that you gave me new life. Without you, I would have rotted to death at sea.”
Ashiluo pointed at his own head and said, “Everyone says I am clever, but what I least love to use is my head. I am unwilling to think. So who you are, who you once were, is all irrelevant, and I do not care.”
“Yes.” Red Cloak Auntie Huo said.
Ashiluo said, “After I leave, I entrust everything of mine to you. Including my women, my treasures, the experts under my command, all entrusted to you.”
Red Cloak Auntie Huo was startled, then said, “Why… why me?”
Ashiluo said, “You have followed me for eleven years, and always been like an elder caring for me.”
Red Cloak Auntie Huo said, “Yes, I shall safeguard the master’s possessions for you, awaiting your return.”
Ashiluo’s eyes narrowed and he said, “Sigh, it is truly too sudden. There are still so many things I have not done, such as raping and killing Su Ningbing, such as raping and killing Zhiyan, such as getting Yan Nail pregnant, such as swapping women with Zhili to play with. Of course, most most importantly, I was unable to flay Soren’s skin and make his skull into a chamber pot.”
Red Cloak Auntie Huo said in astonishment, “Master, you have no interest in men whatsoever, not even hatred. Why do you hate Soren so deeply?”
“Want to know the reason?” Ashiluo asked.
“I do.” Red Cloak Auntie Huo said.
Ashiluo said, “Because his women are more beautiful than mine.”
Red Cloak Auntie Huo was even more astonished.
Ashiluo said, “This, this is not deep, seated hatred enough? It exceeds the hatred of killing one’s father, does it not? What is he, a petty little vassal, that his women dare to be more beautiful than mine?”
Then, Ashiluo picked up a cup of wine, drank most of it, then suddenly asked, “Will drinking alcohol affect bedding Liren? Even the most minuscule effect?”
Red Cloak Auntie Huo was astonished once more.
“Then, I shall not drink.” Ashiluo placed the remaining half cup of wine upon the table and said, “Bring me a cup of water instead.”
Red Cloak Auntie Huo brought him a cup of water.
Ashiluo drank water while saying, “After I leave, sell Fu Yaner to a brothel, the lowest, most filthy brothel. Wait until she contracts a host of foul diseases, then send her back to Soren’s side in Tianshui City.”
“Yes.” Red Cloak Auntie Huo said.
Ashiluo added, “I have left you many experts. No matter how long it takes, secretly infiltrate Tianshui City. Capture Su Ningbing and deliver her to Zhili to ravish.”
“Yes.” Red Cloak Auntie Huo said.
Ashiluo added, “And Yan Nail, do not capture her. Spray green fire witch medicine where she lives, burn her to death, burn her to ashes.”
Red Cloak Auntie Huo said, “This, why is this?”
Ashiluo said, “She is so beautiful, so sexy, she must not be cheapened by any man. Burnt to ash is best.”
“Yes.” Red Cloak Auntie Huo said, “This shall become our greatest task. No matter how long it takes, we shall complete it.”
“And Zhiyan…” Ashiluo said, “Forget it, you lot cannot handle this woman. Leave her to Zhili and Fang Qingshu.”
“What about Soren?” Red Cloak Auntie Huo said.
Ashiluo said, “Soren? Probably it will not come to you lot making a move either.”
Then he waved his hand and said, “Very well, you may leave. I shall sleep. I must conserve my strength. Tomorrow I shall go sleep with sister Liren, one hundred times, one hundred times…”
Then, he actually closed his eyes and entered the land of dreams.
…
The next day!
Soren and Ashi Liren were in secret discussion in the study.
“Have you found the spy that Ashiluo planted in the residence, the one who pretended to kill Fu Yaner?” Ashi Liren said.
Soren asked, “Recently, has there been any extra person or any missing person in your residence?”
Ashi Liren said, “After Fu Yaner’s incident, there has been neither an extra person nor a missing person.”
Soren said, “I have already examined every warrior, servant, and maid in the residence. None of them is that spy.”
Ashi Liren noticed Soren’s wording. He said none of them was that spy, rather than not having discovered anything.
“However, it does not matter anymore.” Soren said, “Ashiluo will certainly come, even today, because his time is extremely pressing.”
Soren did not know why Ashiluo’s time was pressing, but he knew his time was pressing.
Because from Luanyang City to Rouran City, he had actually made the journey in only three days. Moreover, he had cast aside the several dozen beauties he carried with him, and did not ride in a comfortable super luxurious carriage, instead riding day and night, neither sleeping nor resting.
“Father has already secretly departed from the relic castle, bringing more than ten experts.” Ashi Liren said, “He will arrive at my home by noon.”
Soren said, “Yuan Ba, Qinqin, and A’nan, I have already sent them to a safe place.”
Ashi Liren was startled and said, “Sending the children away, will Ashiluo not be suspicious?”
Soren said, “Whether suspicious or not, he will come.”
Ashi Liren said, “Then according to your guess, approximately when will he come?”
“Evening, when night falls.” Soren said.
Ashi Liren said, “Very well, I shall go wait for him.”
Then, Ashi Liren left Soren’s courtyard, and Soren escorted her out.
And at this time, a hundred metres away outside, there was a hunched old woman sweeping.
Soren had already tested this old woman. She was not that spy, and he had tested more than once.
However, the Demon Star still instinctively shot out a trace of Dragon Qi mark, then captured the rebounding energy aura.
Then, the Demon Star was completely stunned.
“Master, this sweeping old woman is the spy that Ashiluo hid in the residence.” The Demon Star said, “That is, the spy who pretended to kill Fu Yaner.”
Soren was astonished. Why had she not been the spy during the previous two examinations, yet suddenly was today?
There was only one explanation. This spy was far, far more formidable than imagined.
She did not stay fixed within Ashi Liren’s residence, but rather when needed, she would disguise herself as the sweeping old woman and enter. She was even a Queen of a Thousand Faces, capable of assuming many different appearances.
But if this were the case, with her such formidable abilities, merely serving as a spy planted by Ashiluo in Liren’s residence seemed far too beneath her talents.
Seeing Liren pass by, this sweeping old woman spy retreated to one side, bending down.
Her already hunched body became even more shrunken and small.
And suddenly…
Ashi Liren’s delicate body swayed gently, then she immediately stopped in her tracks, standing in place and closing her beautiful eyes.
At the same time, frost rapidly formed upon the ground around her jade feet.
After a full two seconds, she opened her beautiful eyes and continued walking away.
That old woman waited until Liren had departed, then raised her head and continued sweeping. Sweeping and sweeping, she left Soren’s field of vision, a trace of smugness appearing at the corners of her mouth.
However, Soren fell into puzzlement!
Ashi Liren did not know this old woman was a spy, so she did not need to display sudden weakness, to perform the pretence of having been poisoned. So why did she still suddenly… sway like that.
Then there was only one explanation.
So, should he halt everything?
Soren shook his head. It could no longer be halted. This was a terrifying grand scheme, already set in motion, unable to be stopped.
At noon, City Lord Ashima in disguise, leading more than ten experts, entered Ashi Liren’s residence.
After entering the residence, almost without any exchange, they entered the underground secret chamber, sitting in meditation and regulating their breathing, awaiting the great matter to unfold.
…
That sweeping old woman swept a full cart of fallen leaves, then pushed the cart out of Liren’s residence, heading towards a rubbish heap not far away to dump them.
This rubbish dump was very large. Because spring had arrived, there were many fallen leaves, and the entire rubbish dump was piled with leaves like a mountain.
This old woman shovelled the leaves from her cart into the rubbish dump. Accidentally, her foot slipped, and she directly fell into the leaf pile, burying her entire person.
Several seconds later, she climbed out from the leaf pile like a small mountain, continuing to shovel leaves.
However, by now she had become a different person. Though she looked exactly the same, she was the true sweeping old woman of Ashi Liren’s residence.
After she left, another person climbed out from the leaf pile. She was the spy that Ashiluo had planted in Liren’s residence.
The two of them completed the switch just like this.
At this moment, she peeled off the sweeping garments from her body, and was no longer hunched. Though the grey, brown garments she wore were still worn, her bodily curves appeared graceful and voluptuous, a full one hundred and seventy centimetres. When she had disguised herself as the sweeping old woman, she had been merely around one metre fifty.
After leaving the rubbish dump, she quickly disappeared into the crowd.
In barely half an hour, she changed appearances several times, changed garments several times, like a drop of water completely vanishing into the vast ocean.
She truly was a Queen of a Thousand Faces.
Finally, when she entered Ashiluo’s secret stronghold, she finally reverted to her true appearance, Red Cloak Auntie Huo.
Truly astonishing. With abilities such as hers, such a Queen of a Thousand Faces, Ashiluo had actually merely had her planted as a spy in Liren’s residence. It was truly too beneath her talents.
She gently walked into Ashiluo’s room, her footsteps making no sound whatsoever.
At this time, it was already afternoon. Ashiluo had slept for more than ten hours.
“Master, the sun is setting in the west. It is almost time.” Red Cloak Auntie Huo said beside Ashiluo’s ear.
Ashiluo asked, “Then how is my sister Liren’s body?”
Red Cloak Auntie Huo said, “Confirmed to have been struck. She no longer has the power to resist.”
“Excellent, haha…” Ashiluo rose from the bed, suddenly pulling down his trousers, thrusting towards Auntie Huo and saying, “Look, magnificent? I have been abstaining for more than half a month.”
Red Cloak Auntie Huo’s eyes grew hazy as she said, “The master is magnificent and mighty, making one’s heart and spirit intoxicated.”
“Hahaha…” Ashiluo said, “Is everything prepared?”
Red Cloak Auntie Huo said, “Already assembled and ready.”
Ashiluo said, “Someone, find several ugly women to wash me.”
Half an hour later, Ashiluo finished washing, changing into a brocade robe.
He appeared completely peerlessly handsome, with transcendent bearing.
Outside his secret stronghold, more than ten demon continent experts and more than a hundred warriors had already assembled.
Ashiluo said to Red Cloak Auntie Huo, “You stay behind, do not go.”
Red Cloak Auntie Huo was startled, then said, “Yes.”
Ashiluo said, “Immediately go sell Fu Yaner to a brothel. Tonight, let her receive thirty men, three copper coins each time.”
“Yes.” Red Cloak Auntie Huo said.
Ashiluo said, “Do you remember your tasks?”
“I remember. Deliver Su Ningbing to be ravished by Zhili. Burn Yan Nail to ashes. Do not let any man touch her.” Red Cloak Auntie Huo said.
Ashiluo said, “After I finish sleeping with my sister tonight, immediately hand all the experts over to you. Go to Tianshui City and complete the matters.”
“Yes.” Red Cloak Auntie Huo bowed.
Ashiluo mounted a magnificent fierce beast.
“Sister Liren, I am coming…” Ashiluo trembled, “I shall fill your entire belly with my life, then I shall go to welcome my destiny.”
“Depart…”
At Ashiluo’s command.
More than ten demon continent experts disappeared into the darkness like ghostly shadows.
Ashiluo rode the fierce beast, heading towards Ashi Liren’s residence.
…
And at this time, the world, stunningly beautiful Ashi Liren sat quietly in her spacious hall, her eyes slightly closed.
Then, footsteps sounded outside.
Ashi Liren opened her eyes, discovering it was actually Soren.
“You, you should not have come. Go.” Ashi Liren said, “In a moment it will be somewhat dangerous.”
Soren said, “Everything that happens tonight may exceed your imagination. You must prepare yourself mentally to a certain degree.”
Ashi Liren shook her head and said, “It is all irrelevant now. You go.”
Soren said, “I shall stay.”
Ashi Liren’s long eyelashes trembled, and she said, “He, has come!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…” Many experts, like ghostly meteors, flew into Ashi Liren’s residence in the night.
The heaven, shaking grand curtain formally rises!
