Xi Heng’s own strength is not particularly strong now, so he cannot rob directly.
However, she now has four books of Hua Jin martial arts and one fragment, and perhaps she can use them as a transaction.
But people in the martial arts world are treacherous. If he directly reveals that he has multiple books on Hua Jin martial arts, many martial artists will surely flock to him. Maybe as long as he says it, he will be hunted down and killed soon.
"Be more careful..." Xi Heng said to himself.
She is now wanted by the Tianliang Army, and Tianliang has a partnership with Huangmei Mountain. In this life, she has indeed killed several masters from Huangmei Mountain...
As long as she shows up in the martial arts world, someone from Huangmei Mountain will come to take her life.
"I will need to learn some disguise techniques when I am active in the martial arts world."
"I wonder if Senior Sister has ever come across this kind of knowledge. I'll ask her when she returns."
Xi Heng closed the window and returned to the table beside him. He picked up the remaining chapters of the Qimie Sword Technique and continued reading it, hoping that he would understand it better this time.
Time passes slowly.
In the afternoon, after a busy day, Senior Sister Hong Miao returned to the restaurant, climbed the stairs and knocked on the door.
Xi Heng heard that it was his senior sister outside, so he went closer and opened the door.
"Senior Sister." When Xi Heng thought of Senior Sister, he thought of what happened yesterday, and his voice became inexplicably restrained.
Hong Miao raised her eyes and glanced:
"Junior sister seems to be taking it easy."
In order to find a suitable yard to buy, she had almost searched the entire central part of Jiangning City.
"Sister, you have worked hard all day. Let me pour you some tea." Xi Heng stepped back and politely picked up the cold tea beside him and slowly poured it for his sister.
"Pouring tea is not enough." Hong Miao said, "Let's have the massage we had yesterday again."
Xi Heng's body suddenly stopped.
It was obvious that Senior Sister Hong Miao's attitude towards yesterday's actions was clearly different from hers.
Xi Heng just regarded it as a drunken mess and wanted to forget about it quickly and not mention it again, but his senior sister seemed to be very interested in it.
After doing it once, I want to do it again.
"Is it not possible?" the senior sister asked as she came closer.
"Yes, I'm sorry?" Xi Heng always felt that he had done something wrong, so he apologized first.
Hong Miao's eyes flashed with resentment: "It was obviously Junior Sister who came here first, but now she says she doesn't want to?"
Xi Heng was speechless, and just forced himself to find an excuse: "Today, forget it today... My hands are a little sore from yesterday."
Hong Miao obviously heard that this was an excuse, and said with a click of the tongue: "Then we'll do it later."
How could a dark energy practitioner have sore hands? Even if they did, they should have recovered after a night’s sleep.
"after?"
Why is there an after?
"Well, in a day or two." Senior Sister Hong Miao said lightly, without giving Xi Heng time to refute, and directly changed the subject:
"Today I looked at more than a dozen courtyards outside... There are indeed many wealthy families in the city who sell small courtyards, and the prices are quite reasonable. After looking around, I finally chose a family courtyard that has a layout similar to our Red Line Sword Academy, but is smaller. What do you think?"
As she spoke, she took out a scroll from the package around her waist and handed it to him.
Xi Heng took it reluctantly and opened the scroll. He saw that the layout contained flower beds, small ponds, bamboo groves, springs, and open areas that could be used for sword practice, as well as wing rooms, side rooms, corridors, stables, and many other rooms. The locations of the rooms were indeed somewhat similar to those of the Red Line Sword Academy, so he nodded:
"Just buy this courtyard."
"Then I will decide on it tomorrow, and then take the maid to buy some new household items. When the sun sets tomorrow, I will take my junior sister there." Hong Miao said with a smile.
"Family?"
"My junior sister and I's home."
……
One day later.
Xi Heng rode a big horse out of the restaurant and followed his senior sister to the gate of the mansion. After getting off the horse and entering the door, there was a long road paved with bluestone slabs. There were several plum trees standing on both sides. Although it was a cold and windy day, the flowers were still bright.
At the end of the road is a screen wall engraved with a welcoming pine tree and a scene of swallows flying at sunset. Turning around is the second entrance, the hanging flower gate.
Walking further into it, you can see a pond surrounded by large rocks half a person's height, with some fish swimming around in it.
The spring water flows slowly, with dark green bamboo bushes on one side, surrounded by a field of dry grass.
The long cobblestone path passes by several small scenic spots and ends at a long corridor, which goes around another circle to the main house.
The room was not empty like other places. Instead, there were ten maids and servants with different figures and appearances standing there. When they saw them coming, they knelt down and bowed their heads to greet them.
"Miss, Miss, how are you?" The female voices overlapped.
Xi Heng blinked and stopped on the spot.
"Do you all remember your duties?" Hong Miao said calmly: "Introduce them to the Second Miss."
"promise."
Then the maid stepped forward from right to left and told Xi Heng who would do the laundry, who would clean and take care of the house, who would manage the stables, etc.
The names of the maids fell into his ears one by one, but Xi Hengda was a little dazed and couldn't remember any of them.
After the maids in front of him finished introducing themselves, Xi Heng was still thinking about one thing. He turned to look at his senior sister and asked, "Why is senior sister the eldest lady? I am the second lady?"
"Because I'm your senior sister." Hong Miao smiled and stretched out her left hand to gently brush Xi Heng's naturally scattered hair.
"This name always sounds like sisters."
"Then change it to calling you Madam?"
"I'm only eighteen years old. Besides, if I call me Madam, what should I call you?" Xi Heng was still complaining.
"Just call me the master."
"Just call her Miss." Xi Heng waved his hand and agreed reluctantly.
Hong Miao nodded, turned her head and said to the maid in front: "You can go and do your own things."
"Yes, Miss."
The maids dispersed and left the main room.
"Most of these maids have experience in doing things. Only the most delicate one, Shuanghua, needs training. I took her in because I felt sorry for her."
Xi Heng didn't care about it, he just asked: "Where is my bedroom?"
"It's just behind the main house. How about we live in the same room?" Hong Miao led Xi Heng to the corridor at the side.
"..." Xi Heng always felt that if he continued to sleep in the same bed with his senior sister, something terrible would happen sooner or later.
But then he remembered that he would not stay in this house for too long, as he would go out from time to time to look for ways to transform his energy, so there should not be any big problem in living together, so he nodded.
Xi Heng had been hesitating for so long over the past two days that he was almost relieved.
So what if I really had a relationship with my senior sister?
Senior Sister Hong Miao didn't seem to be unhappy. She just needed to overcome the hurdle in her heart.
And she did have some interest.
Since I'm interested, maybe even if I don't do it in this life, I will try it in my next reincarnations.
Why not, just let Senior Sister stay here...
"What on earth am I thinking about?" Xi Heng held his forehead and lowered his head, feeling more and more helpless.
She now doesn't know whether she has overcome the threshold in her heart. She feels that the matter is strange, but she also vaguely feels that it is no big deal if she accepts it.
But what if my senior sister wants it?
The girl's cheeks flushed.
While she was thinking, her senior sister had already brought her to the inner bedroom of the main house. The interior was elegantly and delicately decorated. There were a few lilies in a celadon vase, red gauze by the window, and the flickering light of a few red candles.
The aromatherapy exudes a mellow milky fragrance that makes your mouth water.
Xi Heng had just walked into the room when he heard his senior sister take half a step back. Then the door was slowly closed and locked with a click.
The interior therefore seemed even darker.
She looked back in confusion and saw Hong Miao approaching. She had pinched a bouquet of flowers with her right index finger and thumb, and stretched the soft petals in front of Xi Heng.
Hong Miao was speechless, and used her petals to sweep across Xi Heng's chest, collarbone, neck, chin and lips.
"Today, Junior Sister, please don't refuse." Her voice was soft and gentle, and her eyes, reflecting the candlelight and Xi Heng's face, flashed with a hint of charm:
"Otherwise, Senior Sister will be sad."
The petals gently brushed the girl's thin lips, and Senior Sister Hong Miao gently waved her right hand, and the flower branch fell smoothly to the ground.
Xi Heng didn't know how to react at this moment, and her senior sister didn't give her any time to react. She opened her arms and hugged her.
A warmth and fragrance touched the girl's heart, making her already confused thoughts even more hazy.
"Sister..."
"Ah."
It was not just the clothes and skin, but when being hugged tightly by his senior sister, Xi Heng could feel her heartbeat gradually accelerating in sync with his own.
Hong Miao relaxed her arms slightly and walked slowly backwards with her.
When they reached the place, she released her arms from around the man's waist and gently pushed him towards his shoulders.
Xi Heng, who was already stunned, did not continue to maintain his balance. He collapsed backwards and landed on the soft quilt with a plop.
Hong Miao stood aside, put her hands behind her head and untied the straps that were tied around her long hair. At the same time, she also untied the collar of her clothes, letting her coat fall quietly.
She leaned against the bed, raised her right knee, placed it between Xi Heng's slightly tight knees, and slowly pushed it forward.
She lay on the bed, propped herself up, and looked at her soft and gentle junior sister from above.
"Didn't you say...massage?" Xi Heng gradually understood the situation he was in and whispered quietly.
"Junior sister, you are so cute." Hong Miao chuckled and raised her right hand to touch Xi Heng's face.
The fingertips moved across the girl's sensitive cheek, leaving a tingling sensation that lingered for a long time.
"This time, it's not a massage," she said.
"..."
Hong Miao placed one hand on Xi Heng's shoulder, half-closed her blurry eyes, and leaned down.
Two soft thin lips close to each other.
The petals stuck together.
……
In the blink of an eye, winter goes and spring comes.
Although it is only early spring, after such a cold winter, the warm breeze blowing in our faces will add a little warmth to our bodies and minds.
Over the past month, Xi Heng has returned to the state he was in when he lived in Hongxian Sword Academy, never leaving the front door or stepping out of the back door.
After all, it's freezing outside. Rather than wandering around away from home, everyone would rather stay indoors with a stove for heating, or even better, hide directly in bed.
Xi Heng often covered himself with a quilt that smelled slightly of the body scent of the person he slept with, curled up in his arms, and was unwilling to get up.
But she was not that lazy after all. She would get up every day to practice swordplay, study the martial arts she had collected and the related books bought from the bookstores in the city, and also learn some other techniques.
For example, disguise.
Ever since Xi Heng caused so much trouble to the Tianliang Army in Jianchang City, her reputation has spread throughout the world.
To date, her existence and deeds have been spread throughout almost every circle, big or small, in the martial arts world.
But in this life, the names and titles given to her by the martial artists were very different from those when she was the emperor.
At first, she was called the "Empress of Heroes", the most accomplished warrior in the world, and was known as a hero who served the country and the people.
But now, people in the martial arts world call her "blood demon", describing her as a terrifying monster that sucks human blood, and hoping that warriors in the world will kill her if they see her.
After this bad reputation was spread from Huangmei Mountain, it spread throughout the martial arts world like a wanted poster. Even in Jiangning City where Xi Heng lived, where many martial artists gathered, some wanted portraits of her appeared in the black market.
As a result, Xi Heng had to wear a veil to cover her face every time she went out. Although she was not afraid of trouble, trouble was trouble after all. When she was not in the mood to kill anyone, it was better to hide for a while.
