Chapter 33 Breaking Through the Big Dipper Realm, Assassination!
No, absolutely not! If things really were to turn out this way, would that mean that, in an instant, Ye Tian had suddenly acquired seven wives-to-be in this lifetime?
As if sensing the hesitation in her junior brother’s eyes, Gu Qingcheng smiled with her beautiful eyes, and without another word, she flicked the high-proof distilled liquor in her hand to the ground.
Then she leaned in abruptly!
Thud, thud!
As the bottle hit the wooden floor with a dull reverberation, Ye Tian’s heart thumped violently in his chest.
At this moment, Gu Qingcheng had slipped off most of her palace robes, revealing her exquisite figure without reservation. As she danced gracefully, the heady, alluring scent of alcohol intertwined with her own fragrance, overwhelming his senses.
“Senior sister, this is a crime...”
Such stimulation was far beyond what Ye Tian could bear. The true dragon blood within him surged uncontrollably, and before he knew it, his hands were already roaming across that pristine expanse.
“There’s no need to burden your heart. You and I are destined to fulfill each other. After tonight, you will have no regrets.”
Without further ado, Gu Qingcheng threw herself into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest.
Instantly, Ye Tian felt his world spin, and before he knew it, he had fallen into a realm of bliss...
...
The rooms at the Tianhua Inn were renowned for their safety and sturdiness, yet even so, the alloy bed frame in a certain room creaked and groaned through the night.
“How annoying.”
When Ye Tian awoke from his beautiful dream, the sky was already bright, and purple dawn shone through the window.
Lying atop his chest was Gu Qingcheng, barely clothed.
She pouted, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, one slender hand tracing his body. “The heart of the true dragon is indeed fierce. I almost couldn’t withstand it.”
“Senior sister.”
Looking at the woman in his arms, Ye Tian’s gaze was filled with both indulgence and helplessness.
“So, you’ve always been untouched?”
He wasn’t a fool. Last night, a surge of pure innate yin essence had flowed from Gu Qingcheng into him through the necessary channel. The masters had explained—this was the unique occurrence of a maiden’s first time.
Though there had been no visible trace, it was proof enough.
“Of course. When did I ever say otherwise? Or are you suggesting that you dared suspect your senior sister’s virtue?”
Gu Qingcheng responded by giving him a vigorous punch.
Ahem...
Ye Tian’s expression darkened at her words.
He distinctly remembered his senior sister being surrounded by any number of handsome companions—could it be that all those men were nothing more than tools and meal tickets?
“You’ve guessed right. They’re just tools.” Gu Qingcheng giggled, biting his chest and leaving a shallow mark. “So you must take responsibility for me, senior sister!”
“Alright.” Seeing her act like a shy young maiden, Ye Tian’s heart softened.
For his sake, Senior Sister Gu had given up something precious without hesitation. It was precisely because of the pure yin energy she had given him that the wild, surging blood within him was finally, at its source, brought under control.
His command over his own body took a leap forward. Unbeknownst to him, his martial cultivation had broken through its shackles and entered the Beidou Realm!
The Beidou Realm!
Throughout thousands of years of the Dragon Nation’s history, countless martial geniuses had spent entire lifetimes, only to fall short of this very realm.
Yet now, at just twenty-five, Ye Tian had stepped into it with ease!
Senior sister, your sacrifice is invaluable. I, Ye Tian, will see that you are honored in name!
At this thought, Ye Tian’s heart rippled anew. With a swift motion, he pinned Senior Sister Gu—who was mischievously tickling his side—beneath him once more.
“One, two, three, four... let’s go again.”
“Alright.” Gu Qingcheng smiled with sparkling eyes.
...
Another long day passed in this manner.
“I want something delicious. I want to eat. I can’t do anymore.” Gu Qingcheng’s face was tear-streaked. As a martial artist of the Grandmaster realm, her body could sweep through armies, yet now she was left delicate and weeping.
“Alright, alright, let’s go eat now.”
Ye Tian, still not fully sated, dressed and took Gu Qingcheng’s hand, leading her out of the Tianhua Inn.
The moon was full and the wind brisk.
As the midnight clouds receded, the air was filled with the distant calls of insects and birds. Gu Qingcheng pressed herself close to Ye Tian, contentedly murmuring, “It’s a pity that a man like you is not mine alone to have.”
“But, I was the first. The other six girls must be dying of jealousy.”
She giggled.
“Senior sister, we’re in public, have some mercy.” Seeing the barbecue vendor’s shocked expression, Ye Tian was thoroughly embarrassed.
What? Another six?
Young man, have some self-restraint!
The vendor, shocked, couldn’t help but pile on more chives for them.
Just then, as the two bantered, a sudden unease swept over them.
“Something’s wrong.” Gu Qingcheng set down her skewer and glanced into the distance.
From the shadows, there was a faint disturbance.
“Come out now—why bother hiding?”
Ye Tian sneered, flicking his clean bamboo skewer into the darkness. With a sharp whistle, a muffled grunt came from the shadows.
Immediately after, dozens of figures emerged together!
A group of masked men, dressed entirely in black with strange attire, advanced slowly toward the barbecue stall.
“Koga ninja?” Gu Qingcheng frowned, but still didn’t forget to slide the last sizzling piece of lamb from her skewer.
“Koga ninja—are they from the island nation’s ninja clans?”
“Yes,” Gu Qingcheng nodded lightly. “I encountered Koga ninja once before in Zhongdu years ago. These island devils didn’t speak our language, couldn’t answer a single question, only knew how to ambush.”
“They sent fifteen ninja against me, fought me through the night, and I barely escaped.”
Fifteen ninja had forced his senior sister to fight all night and ultimately flee for her life...
Ye Tian frowned.
He knew that even at the early Grandmaster stage, his senior sister was a top expert—yet just fifteen ninja had forced her to retreat.
And now, there were more than fifty before them.
Clearly, these people had a decent grasp of their strength!
Which family had sent them?
The Qian family? The Wu family? Or the Sun family?
Ye Tian sneered coldly. Anyone could guess it was assassins sent by those three clans.
Now that he had Tang Zhenguo as his protector, the three great families wouldn’t dare touch him openly; even secret assassinations had to be untraceable.
That made islanders the perfect choice for such dirty work.
“No need to worry. They’re just descendants of islanders.”
Ye Tian laughed.
“When was I ever worried? Trying to show off in front of me, are you?” Gu Qingcheng laughed and exposed Ye Tian’s attempt to act cool.
“Go on, let me see what a twenty-five-year-old Beidou Realm master is really made of!”
With a wave of her hand, an ancient, simple horizontal blade appeared and was tossed to Ye Tian.
It was the Ye family’s ancestral blade!
