Boom!

The Yin-Yang Sword Circle released a Taiji Diagram that surged toward the red-haired young man, who could feel the overwhelming force contained within the Diagram. Fear appeared in his eyes.

As the lethal Taiji Diagram approached with lightning speed, the red-haired young man clenched his teeth, mustered all his strength, and collided his Heaven-Splitting Axes together in an attempt to shatter the Taiji Diagram.

Boom!!

The Taiji Diagram exploded violently between the clashing Mountain Splitting Axes, sending a powerful shockwave that blasted the axes from the young man's hands, while his own body, torn and bloodied, was hurled away.

Wang Xiaoqiang sheathed his sword, drew the Sun-Shooting Bow, and shot an arrow at the red-haired young man as he flew through the air.

Whoosh!

The Gang Qi Arrow struck the abdomen of the red-haired young man. He shook violently, like being hit by a cannonball, and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. He was certainly not going to survive.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't bother to pursue him further. He stood atop the head of a Patterned Beast, holding the Sun-Shooting Bow, and quietly observed the battle conditions.

The Aquatic Dark Soldiers and the warriors of Medicine God Valley were fiercely engaged in battle.

Except for Xi Yuerong and Xia Xueyan, who hadn't exerted their full strength, everyone else was fighting desperately against the aquatic beings.

Wang Xiaoqiang transmitted his voice with force and shouted, "Your leader has been killed by me. Don't make needless sacrifices anymore. Flee for your lives now!"

The armies of Medicine God Valley, hearing that their leader was dead, were also panicked. Everyone was alarmed, and the military morale was severely disrupted, leaving them disheartened to continue the fight.

However, no one dared to retreat from the battle. After all, violating discipline during battle was considered more serious than breaching sect rules.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang aimed at a formidable man in the Third Stage of the True Immortal Realm from Medicine God Valley and shot an arrow.

Whoosh!

The arrow knocked the Magic Treasure from his hand.

The man was shocked and attempted to flee.

Wang Xiaoqiang shot another arrow, piercing his chest.

The man spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and fell down.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Wang Xiaoqiang continued to shoot arrows in rapid succession. Every arrow was unerringly accurate and lethal.

Every disciple of Medicine God Valley in the Third Stage of the True Immortal Realm or below fell to Wang Xiaoqiang's arrows.

Seeing their fellow disciples dying one after another, the already shattered army morale disintegrated further. Finally, a timid disciple fled.

As he fled, others followed suit immediately.

Then, with a loud boom, all the disciples of Medicine God Valley abandoned the fight and fled.

That included Xi Yuerong and Xia Xueyan.

Seeing that these two women also fled, Wang Xiaoqiang shouted, "Yuerong, Xueyan, please wait, I have something to say."

If Xi Yuerong and Xia Xueyan really stopped and turned back at that moment, they would never be able to return to Medicine God Valley's ranks again, for it would mean becoming traitors to Medicine God Valley. Upon hearing Wang Xiaoqiang's call, both women hesitated and their faces rapidly changed, showing their internal struggle and indecision.

The two women exchanged glances, but were unable to decide.

Seizing the opportunity, Wang Xiaoqiang continued, "You no longer have a way back. Returning to Medicine God Valley will only lead to suspicion from Huan Qingyi, and you will definitely be in a passive position, even endangering your lives. It would be better to follow me. As the Lord of the Immortal River, I can ensure your safety."

After hearing this, the two women looked at each other, then nodded in agreement and turned back.

Seeing that the two women really turned back, Wang Xiaoqiang was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Indeed, you two are insightful. I, Wang Xiaoqiang, have not misjudged you."

Xia Xueyan glared at Wang Xiaoqiang and said, "You, make sure you keep your word and ensure our safety."

Wang Xiaoqiang replied, "I, Wang Xiaoqiang, am ruthless towards my enemies but devoted to my friends. Rest assured."

However, Xi Yuerong still appeared worried and asked, "Wang Xiaoqiang, you won't treat us like you did Huan Qingyi's avatar, will you?"

Wang Xiaoqiang replied, "Of course not. As I just said, you are my friends and I will treat you sincerely. I will never force you to do anything against your will."

"Good, then from now on, we will follow you," Xi Yuerong said.

"Okay, you two come with me to the Crystal Palace. I'm going to throw a banquet to celebrate," Wang Xiaoqiang waved grandly before commanding the Immortal River Mystic Serpent to withdraw the troops.

The Immortal River Mystic Serpent ordered the withdrawal, and the Aquatic Dark Soldiers retreated back into the Immortal River.

Wang Xiaoqiang also recalled the Patterned Beast and led the two women into the Crystal Palace.

The magnificent and splendid Crystal Palace immediately enchanted Xia Xueyan and Huan Qingyi. Xia Xueyan exclaimed joyfully, "Wow, this, this is just like a legendary fairy tale world!"

Huan Qingyi was also secretly full of admiration.

Upon entering the main hall of the Crystal Palace, Wang Xiaoqiang ordered the Aquatic Clan servants to prepare a banquet to welcome and cleanse the road dust off the two ladies.

Dish after dish of mountain and sea delicacies was served, along with platters of exotic fruits and bottles of exquisite drinks, and the three of them sat down to start enjoying the feast.

Wang Xiaoqiang also asked Yus Ziman to dance to add to the merriment.

"Wow, this woman is so beautiful, Little Qiang, she, who is she to you?" Xia Xueyan asked, blinking curiously at him upon seeing Yus Ziman.

"Her name is Yus Ziman. She belongs to the Merman Tribe, the Merman Tribe, which is part of the harem reserves of the Ancestor of the Immortal River," Wang Xiaoqiang explained tactfully.

"Ancestor of the Immortal River? Aren't you now the Ancestor of the Immortal River?" Huan Qingyi said.

"Hey, have you made this Yus Ziman your woman...?" Xia Xueyan said, slightly annoyed and with a hint of jealousy in her voice, "You really know your ways, Wang Xiaoqiang! Became the great king of the river and surrounded by wives and concubines without even a heads-up, hmph, had I known, I wouldn't have come here…"

Xia Xueyan stood up in a huff and ran off.

Wang Xiaoqiang, somewhat at a loss, asked Huan Qingyi, "Yuerong, what's wrong with Xueyan?"

Huan Qingyi said, "Can't you see? She's fallen for you. What are you still sitting here for? Go and comfort her…"

Embarrassed, Wang Xiaoqiang stood up and chased after Xia Xueyan.

Unfamiliar with the layout of the Crystal Palace, Xia Xueyan ran about haphazardly and ended up barging into Wang Xiaoqiang's bedroom, where she saw a luxurious big bed surrounded by Luminous Pearls emitting a soft glow, captivating her into a daze for a moment.

To her surprise, she was suddenly embraced.

Startled, Xia Xueyan turned around only to find Wang Xiaoqiang, who she pushed away in embarrassment, "Go hug your Yus Ziman, I am not your wife…"

Wang Xiaoqiang lifted her delicate body and whispered in her ear, "I'll make you my wife right away, my beautiful wife…"

Xia Xueyan was intoxicated by Wang Xiaoqiang's words. In fact, she had fantasized about this moment more than once. Although Wang Xiaoqiang was not incredibly handsome, he was her true Son of Heaven. She felt safe and her heart raced when she was with him, which meant she truly liked him.

"Hmph, let go of me now, or Sister Yuerong will laugh at us!" Xia Xueyan playfully complained,

"It was Yuerong who sent me here; she wants us to love each other," Wang Xiaoqiang said, laying the blushing Xia Xueyan on the opulent bed, then silently admired her...

The most beautiful thing though were her large eyes, dreamy and seemingly able to speak, yet at this moment, they conveyed a touch of shyness, making her even more lovable.

This girl was simply too beautiful!

"What, what are you staring at?" Xia Xueyan, her heart pounding frantically in panic yet filled with anticipation, suddenly blurted out, "Hey, Little Qiang, I want to ask you something."

"What is it…"

"How do women have babies?"

"You'll understand everything shortly."

"Does it involve kissing a man, and then a baby is made?"

Wang Xiaoqiang chuckled, "Of course not. It's not just about kissing, but also about…"

"Also what?" Xia Xueyan asked, somewhat panicky.

"Also that…"

"What's that?" Xia Xueyan became tenser, "Can you stop beating around the bush, please?"

"Also… I'll show you right now." Wang Xiaoqiang showed her through his actions.

Xia Xueyan became Wang Xiaoqiang's woman and served him alongside Yus Ziman. However, Xia Xueyan was quite possessive and a bit greedy, monopolizing Wang Xiaoqiang for five nights a week, leaving only two nights for him to be with Yus Ziman.

Yus Ziman, however, had no complaints; she always regarded Wang Xiaoqiang as her master and herself as a servant. It was not her place to interfere with how many women her master married or with whom he chose to sleep.

Yus Ziman might have had no grievances, but Huan Qingyi was filled with silent resentment. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote and support on qidian.com. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
