A sweet, gentle voice echoed in Aurelian Dragon's ears, waking him from a deep sleep. He opened his eyes to find the sky ablaze with the colors of dawn. Outside, it was a bright, sunny day.
Aurelian Dragon reached out and put her arm around Lynette Quill's smooth, supple waist as she spoke with Obsidia Shade.
What are you talking about?
Lynette Quill turned and gave him a sweet kiss, then giggled, "You're getting better and better." Her face flushed crimson with shy delight, clearly recalling the intense battle of the previous night.
Aurelian Dragon chuckled, his large hand caressing Lynette Quill's soft breasts, and said smugly, "Want to do it again?"
Seeing Aurelian Dragon's lecherous gaze fixed on her, Obsidia Shade blushed slightly and shook her head, saying, "No, sir. Please spare me!"
Aurelian Dragon exclaimed, "Then who will practice with me this morning?"
The two women giggled, and Lynette Quill said sweetly, "Don't move!" She then nestled her soft, smooth body against Aurelian Dragon's muscular frame, letting him enjoy the tenderness of her hands and eyes. Obsidia Shade also obediently leaned against him on the other side, pressing her soft, delicate body against him. Aurelian Dragon closed his eyes, silently savoring the warm affection between the two women.
The door to the room was gently pushed open, and the eight Golden Phoenix Guards, who had gotten up early, brought in the washing utensils and began to help Aurelian Dragon get up. Along the way, Aurelian Dragon had already been spoiled by them, and he didn't have to lift a finger; everything would be taken care of for him.
Upon seeing the petite and exquisite Qi Feng, Lynette Quill's beautiful eyes flickered, and she suddenly giggled, "Seventh Sister, last night Aurelian praised your flute playing skills. Come, come and cool him down, and let us see your skills too." Qi Feng's jade-like face turned bright red, overwhelmed with shyness, and she lowered her head deeply.
Hearing this, the other seven guards cheered and jeered, creating a lively and cheerful atmosphere. Encouraged by Lynette Quill, Obsidia Shade, and the other women, the blushing Seventh Phoenix, half-heartedly resisting, shyly took Aurelian Dragon's erect penis, hardened by his early morning desire, into her mouth and slowly began to suckle it. Aurelian Dragon was overjoyed, casually embracing the Fourth Phoenix beside him and teasing her wantonly, while simultaneously enjoying the oral service of the beautiful Seventh Phoenix beneath him.
Under the beautiful gazes of the women, Qi Feng's face was flushed and alluring. She reached out her slender hands and cupped Aurelian Dragon's hard, massive member, kneading it. Occasionally, she would stroke his scrotum with her delicate fingers. Feeling the hot, throbbing sensation from his member, Qi Feng's eyes gradually became hazy. Recalling the many times she had been penetrated by this massive member and reached a state of ecstasy, she caressed it even more sweetly and gently.
At this moment, the crimson glans swelled even larger in Qi Feng's jade-like hand. Qi Feng began to extend her pink tongue, first licking up and down along the crack on the glans a few times, and then licking around the glans. The fragrant saliva evenly coated the glans, making the egg-sized glans shine with a glistening luster, presenting a lewd appearance in front of the women.
Her tiny tongue pressed firmly against the urethral opening on the glans, while her soft lips slowly encircled it, allowing it to disappear into her warm mouth under the watchful eyes of the other women. The angle and direction of the penis changed with Aurelian Dragon's movements, and Qi Feng's pink face turned accordingly, stretching her slender neck.
Qi Feng stretched her head forward, slowly swallowing the thick, hard penis into her small, warm mouth, while her tongue continuously stimulated the glans. At this moment, Qi Feng was completely immersed in oral sex, even her ears turned red, and her pretty face showed an expression of intoxication.
This scene created a strange and decadent atmosphere for the women watching. Their hearts fluttered, their faces flushed, and they couldn't help but stick out their tongues to lick their lips.
Feeling the warm, tightly embraced lips, Aurelian Dragon comfortably praised, "Seven Phoenix, your oral skills are getting better and better!"
Hearing Aurelian Dragon's praise, Qi Feng let out a charming hum from her delicate nose, opened her mouth wide and spat out the penis, then looked up and said softly, "Thank you... young master..." Then she lowered her head and carefully licked the base of the penis, her pink tongue nimbly sweeping across the bulging veins on it. Her movements were so seductive and gentle that it looked as if she had undergone rigorous training. Even Aurelian Dragon had to admire her talent and skill in playing the flute, which could be said to be even better than that of a courtesan. It was hard to imagine that she hadn't even touched a man's hand a month ago.
Qi Feng vigorously stroked the penis with her red lips, her beautiful face flushed with a lustful blush, her head swaying up and down. Although Aurelian Dragon's penis was thick and long, filling her cherry-like mouth completely, with half of it still sticking out, Qi Feng still tried her best to rotate her tongue to take it deep inside.
Qi Feng diligently swallowed and released the thick, hard penis, pushing it deep until the glans reached her throat, and withdrawing it while leaving her red lips around the glans, alluring moans emanating from her delicate nose. The women standing there, holding their breath, were all captivated, their eyes gleaming with desire. For a moment, the only sounds in the room besides the pounding of everyone's hearts were Qi Feng's seductive moans and the soft, smacking sounds of her red lips rubbing against the penis.
The flute playing in front of the women continued for a long time. When Qi Feng felt her lips and cheeks begin to go numb, Aurelian Dragon tenderly stroked her soft, pink cheeks, causing the phallus in her mouth to throb a few times. Qi Feng's heart leaped with joy, and she quickly increased the force of her sucking.
Aurelian Dragon let out a comfortable groan: "Great! Here it comes!" With each contraction of his penis, a stream of thick, white semen spurted out, flowing into Qi Feng's warm mouth. Qi Feng swallowed the thick, hot semen in one gulp, then looked up at Aurelian Dragon with alluring charm and said, "Thank you for your reward, young master!"
After watching this thrilling and erotic performance of playing the flute, the women breathed a sigh of relief and were about to discuss it when Aurelian Dragon stretched comfortably and said with a grin, "You should all learn from our adorable Seventh Sister. Look how good she is! I love such a well-behaved and clever girl."
Lynette Quill spat at him and said, "Dream on! You're getting a good deal and you're still acting innocent!"
Obsidia Shade chimed in mischievously, "Does Master mean we didn't serve you well?"
"Yes! Aren't we well-behaved?" The other seven guards also chimed in, accusing him of favoritism.
Aurelian Dragon yelled, "What? You got the benefits but won't help me? I won't give you anything next time!"
Lynette Quill raised her fist and said, "You treat us sisters like this and you call it a benefit for us? Sisters, we will never forgive him!" The women giggled and vented their anger at being defeated by him the night before. In an instant, their hands flew and their legs flew.
Aurelian Dragon yelled and fled in a disheveled state, standing in the courtyard and fuming, "I've never seen such a fierce woman. I'll go find someone better outside!" The other women shouted and rushed out as well. Seeing the situation was dire, Aurelian Dragon laughed, covered her head, and quickly fled the battlefield, leaving the women shouting behind her.
After a while, they burst into loud, delighted laughter, as if they were celebrating a victorious return. Then, embracing Qi Feng, they chattered amongst themselves, genuinely discussing the pleasures of their boudoir.
※ ※ ※
Aurelian Dragon walked the streets of the capital, the warm sunshine bathing him and warming his heart. Nothing could bring him more joy than winning the love of a beautiful woman. Looking back on the past two months, even he felt like he was dreaming. Born into an ordinary knightly family, becoming a centurion was already quite an achievement, given the sheer number of nobles in the empire. His previous dream had been simply to rise to the rank of chiliarch, to become a local tyrant in the West River region, and to enjoy life to the fullest. But this war had changed the course of his life. At this moment, he was unaware of the profound impact coming to the capital would have on his future. All he could think about was Phoenix Vane's stunning beauty, and the thought of her by his side would bring him the greatest happiness.
During this period, the imperial capital, Esnia, was an extremely prosperous metropolis on the continent of Wind and Moon, the center of politics and wealth. Everywhere there were bustling crowds, prosperous streets, and all kinds of shops. But beneath its glorious surface lay extremely dangerous, terrifying, and unpredictable power struggles. For ambitious people, the imperial capital was the best place to pursue power and wealth.
As Aurelian Dragon walked, he became captivated by the scenery along the way, especially the shops selling exotic treasures, which greatly interested him. Many of the items were things he had never seen before in Xijiang, and with foreigners in strange costumes soliciting business, Aurelian Dragon wandered in and out, finding immense enjoyment in the experience.
Just as he turned the corner, a person rushed towards him with the speed of a gust of wind. It seemed that a collision with Aurelian Dragon was imminent, and a scene of head-on fall was about to unfold. At this moment, it was clear that Aurelian Dragon's skills had improved recently. He stood firmly on his feet, grabbed the person's shoulders with both hands, and forcefully pinned him down, instantly pushing the person around seven or eight times, dissipating the fierce momentum.
Footsteps thundered, and a large group of people appeared, charging menacingly towards them. The leader, a burly man wielding a large knife, roared like a madman, "Circle her up! Today I'm going to fuck her to death!"
Only then did Aurelian Dragon realize that the person who almost collided with her was actually a beautiful young woman.
The woman, panting heavily, wore a look of panic on her delicate face, appearing utterly pitiful. Disoriented from being spun around, she couldn't even stand properly, desperately twisting her body and pleading, "Let me go, please..."
Before Aurelian Dragon could let go, the group of burly men rushed forward and surrounded the two of them.
The burly man with the knife shouted, "You little bitch, where do you think you're going to run?"
The woman's pretty face turned deathly pale, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "What do you want? Aren't you afraid my brother will come after you?"
The burly men exchanged wild laughs. One of them, a bulging-eyed giant, leered, "By the time your older brother comes back, you'll already be Brother Luo's woman. Then you can have your brother as a cheap brother-in-law, hahaha!"
The woman's delicate body trembled slightly, and she screamed helplessly, "I'd rather die!"
Aurelian Dragon sighed softly, patted the woman's shoulder, stood in front of her, and said calmly, "Everyone..."
A burly man nearby shouted, interrupting him, "You scoundrel, how dare you meddle in our business!"
Brother Luo, brandishing his knife, sneered, "This guy's tired of living. Who's going to lend him a hand and send him on his way?"
Eager for credit, the burly man with bulging eyes roared and lunged forward, throwing a punch at Aurelian Dragon's face. The force of the punch was terrifying, indicating he had some training.
Aurelian Dragon stood with his feet planted firmly on the ground. As the fist approached, he slightly twisted his waist and simultaneously swung his left fist upwards like lightning.
With a loud bang, the weapon struck the burly man's chin squarely, sending him flying through the air. Blood gushed from his mouth, and he crashed to the ground, unconscious.
A burly man rushed over and, upon seeing the damage, roared, "Brother, Fourth Brother's jaw is completely shattered! You must avenge him!" The group of burly men stirred in surprise; they hadn't expected this seemingly amiable young man to be so ruthless.
Brother Luo was secretly shocked. This man before him possessed such strength, sending a burly man flying with a single punch. This demonstrated his accuracy and ruthlessness. However, as the leader, he was no pushover either. He displayed extraordinary composure, which silenced his men.
"Young man, do you know who I am?"
Aurelian Dragon shrugged and said amiably, "Sorry, I never want to know an ugly man like you."
"You..." Brother Luo's face turned pale with anger at Aurelian Dragon's calm yet arrogant attitude.
A henchman shouted in a hoarse voice, "You ignorant country bumpkin, let me tell you, you better prick up your ears and listen carefully, our boss is Brother Luo Si, one of the four great heroes of the capital. He's known as, known as..."
Just then, a voice rang out from the crowd: "Calling for the humiliation of Nancheng!" The crowd burst into laughter, but Luo Si glared at them, and they immediately fell silent.
"Who, which guy has the guts to call me by my nickname!" The henchman was still flattering him.
Ross slapped him across the face. "Shut your filthy mouth!" he yelled, then turned to Aurelian Dragon with a sinister look and said, "You want to pick a fight?"
Aurelian Dragon sighed, "I didn't want to either, but you made the first move."
"Then leave this woman behind, and you can go." The henchmen were shocked. What was wrong with their boss today? Why was he showing weakness?
Seeing the woman staring at him in terror, as if afraid he'd keep her, Aurelian Dragon smiled calmly and said, "I have a quirk: once we start fighting, we should fight it out. Besides..." He pointed at the woman, "Isn't it a waste for such a beautiful young woman to fall into the hands of you guys?"
Ross flew into a rage and shouted, "How dare you! Three of you go up and kill him!"
Three henchmen who had been waiting drew their swords and assumed a fighting stance. One in front and two behind, the two with swords trailing the one with a knife by half a step, formed a standard triangular attack formation.
Aurelian Dragon was taken aback. These people had actually adopted an attack stance used by a military unit. Needless to say, they had obviously undergone considerable military training, and judging from their imposing manner, they were ruthless figures in the military.
But why are these people causing such trouble in the capital? This is against military law. Doesn't the city guards care?
Before he could think, the three men rushed up, their swords and blades flashing, seemingly intent on cutting him into pieces.
Seeing Aurelian Dragon standing there without any reaction, everyone gasped in surprise. The beautiful girl even closed her eyes, unable to bear seeing him splatter blood on the spot. Even Ross thought he had misjudged the situation; this man did not have the strength he had imagined, and that punch just now was merely a coincidence.
Just as the sword was about to strike, in a flash, Aurelian Dragon raised her hand to deflect the incoming blade, and with a swift twist of her wrist, the blade snapped in two with a crisp sound. While the henchman holding the sword stood frozen in shock, Aurelian Dragon delivered a powerful kick to his chest; the sound of bones breaking rang out, and the henchman collapsed to the ground, coughing up blood. Aurelian Dragon continued her agile movement, and before the two slightly slower henchmen could even comprehend what had happened, the broken blade in her hand sliced across their wrists. Blood splattered, and their longswords traced arcs through the air before falling and embedding themselves in the ground.
The swift and decisive moves astonished everyone present. After a while, all the burly men except Ross rushed forward, shouting, attempting to subdue Aurelian Dragon with their numerical advantage.
Aurelian Dragon let out a long laugh and charged forward. Back in Xijiang, he was the best at gang fights, and his melee prowess had made him the local thug leader, a true local tyrant. Now, with his skills greatly enhanced, he wouldn't even consider these small fry a threat.
Aurelian Dragon moved with lightning speed, striking swiftly and creating numerous openings in the encirclement of the burly men. Blades danced wildly, yet none could touch his clothes; instead, they wounded their own men.
The sounds of fists striking flesh were like a machine gun; with each punch from Aurelian Dragon, a burly man screamed and fell to the ground, never to rise again. Aurelian Dragon understood the principle of precision and ruthlessness: he didn't just strike; he struck to incapacitate his opponent—this was the secret to fighting in a group.
A moment later, the ground was covered with groaning, unable to get up. The crushing defeat of his men made Ross furious.
"Hey! Kid, you'd better surrender!" Ross said with a sinister grin. He had seized the girl while Aurelian Dragon was fighting his men. Ross grabbed the girl's hair and placed a knife against her slender neck. "If you don't listen, I'll kill her."
At first, the girl, afraid of upsetting Aurelian Dragon, endured the pain in her scalp, biting her cherry lips and remaining silent. But seeing Ross using her as a hostage, she cried out urgently in a sweet voice, "Hero, don't worry about me!"
"Have you thought it through? This delicate beauty's life or death depends on your word. Speak up now!" Ross urged smugly. The onlookers couldn't help but curse Ross's shamelessness and despicable nature.
Aurelian Dragon glanced at the burly men lying on the ground and said nonchalantly, "Fine, I'll give you a choice. Will you obediently let her go unharmed, or will you hurt her and then be chopped into eight pieces by me?" As he spoke, he picked up a sword from the ground and weighed it in his hand a few times.
Rose was startled, and though her voice was fierce, she snapped, "How dare you! Can you bear to see her die for you?"
Aurelian Dragon swung her sword, and with a scream, a large man's arm was severed. The man fainted from the pain.
Watching the blood drip from the sword tip, Aurelian Dragon slowly said, "If she is captured by you, she will also meet a tragic end. If you kill her, I will avenge her, and I think she would agree."
The girl said resolutely, "Young master, don't worry about me, kill him and rid the people of this scourge!"
Ross roared, "Shut up! You bitch, don't you want to live anymore?"
The girl said, "Even if I die, you can't escape. It's a life for a life."
Ross was filled with fear and sweat beaded on his forehead. He knew perfectly well that he was no match for the Aurelian Dragon, but he couldn't bear to give up the delicious prey he had in his grasp.
Just as Ross was hesitating, Aurelian Dragon had already cut off the arms of three burly men, which put immense pressure on Ross. The burly men were terrified, their faces pale, fearing that they would be the next target.
Aurelian Dragon said coldly, "Don't blame me for being ruthless, but your eldest brother doesn't care about your lives, and there's nothing I can do about it!"
Hearing his men's screams, Ross cried out in anguish, "You cold-blooded bastard, this is murder!"
Aurelian Dragon glared back at him and snapped, "Do you have the right to speak to me like that?" With that, he brandished his sword and moved on to the next person. The poor, burly man had already fainted by the time Aurelian Dragon approached.
Ross's eyes were bloodshot. He was completely overwhelmed by this ruthless man and finally couldn't help but shout, "Stop! We admit defeat. Let my men go!" With that, he shoved the girl toward Aurelian Dragon and threw the knife in his hand to the ground.
Aurelian Dragon tossed aside her sword and coldly shouted, "Take these trash and get out of my sight!" With that, she and the girl strode away. Rose was left behind, waving her fist and yelling, "You just wait, I won't let this go!"
Aurelian Dragon and the girl sat down at a teahouse, where the waiter served them delicious snacks and hot tea.
After a cup of hot, fragrant tea, the girl's complexion became rosy. Indeed, she was more beautiful than any flower, radiant and elegant; no wonder she had been captured by the burly men. Although she couldn't compare to Lynette Quill and the others, she was quite similar, and possessed a unique, delicate charm.
Aurelian Dragon asked softly, "What is your name, young lady?"
The young woman looked at Aurelian Dragon gratefully and said, "My name is Zuo Lanxin."
Aurelian Dragon asked, "Why are they hunting you down?"
The young girl's face flushed slightly, and she whispered, "Brother Ye, thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I would have already..." At this point, Zuo Lanxin's eyes reddened, and her voice grew even softer.
"Hey, I just had a fight, and I'm hungry!" Sensing the slightly awkward atmosphere, Aurelian Dragon quickly picked up a snack and took a bite. "Oh, Miss Zuo, you should have some too! It's pretty good."
Looking at the enigmatic, ruthless yet gentle man before her, Zuo Lanxin felt a strange unease. After all, she had just witnessed him coldly wielding his sword, dismembering those who were unable to resist—even if the person was an enemy, it was something no ordinary person could do. The man before her was undoubtedly a hero of a chaotic world, Zuo Lanxin immediately came to this conclusion.
Zuo Lanxin and Aurelian Dragon began to talk. It turned out that Zuo Lanxin was from a family of generals from the previous dynasty. After her family fell on hard times, she and her elder brother, Garrick Stonewall, came to the capital to make a living. Her brother, relying on his excellent skills, did business transporting goods. Because some merchants were afraid that their valuables would be robbed by thieves on the way, they would pay a lot of money to hire someone to protect them.
Once, Luo Si encountered Zuo Lanxin and, lusting after her beauty, repeatedly harassed her, only to be soundly defeated each time by her older brother, Garrick Stonewall. This time, her older brother Garrick Stonewall received a mission to deliver a shipment to Hancheng with a friend. Garrick Stonewall initially didn't want to go, but the price offered was too tempting, and with the encouragement of others, he had no choice but to find a safe place for his sister before setting off.
For some reason, Ross knew Garrick Stonewall had left and was desperately searching for Zuo Lanxin. Normally, nothing would have happened, but today Zuo Lanxin accidentally wandered into the market and was spotted by Ross's men, leading to the scene just now.
At this point, Zuo Lanxin looked at Aurelian Dragon with gratitude and said gently, "Brother Ye, your kung fu is really good. This gang has been running rampant for a long time, and everyone has been angry but dared not speak out. Now you have finally vented everyone's anger."
