Chapter 1 The Beginning

Zhang Yuanqing hailed a taxi and hurried to Fu Jiawan. He swiped his card to pass through security, entered the residential area, and arrived at the luxurious villa.

As soon as he entered the villa, he saw Ling Jun, wearing a loose, single shirt, capri pants, and flip-flops, quietly hiding under an ornamental tree, hugging the trunk with both hands, muttering to himself.

Zhang Yuanqing followed his gaze and saw a green vine wrapped around a phone in the lush foliage, the lens aimed at a certain window of the villa, constantly adjusting the angle, as if filming something.

*Romance*

"What is he doing?" Zhang Yuanqing approached and asked, "Are you secretly filming bunny girls taking a bath?"

"What's so interesting about filming that?" Ling Jun turned his head and shushed him. "Keep it down, I'm filming a trending topic."

Is there anything more worth filming than a young lady with a thin waist, long legs, and big breasts taking a bath? If so, then it would be a sow taking a bath... Is this guy a celibate like Fu Qingyang?

Zhang Yuanqing wanted to ask more questions, but Ling Jun waved him away. "Go do your thing, don't stand here with me, you'll be discovered."

He had no choice but to turn around and follow the stone path laid on the lawn, entering the interior of the villa.

He came to the outside of the study with practiced ease, knocked lightly twice, and then pushed open the brown double wooden doors.

As the wooden doors opened, Zhang Yuanqing heard the familiar, friendly "thump thump" sound.

In the luxuriously decorated study, the first thing he saw was a curly-haired teddy bear sitting on the desk, followed by brand-new, petite red dancing shoes.

At this moment, the red dancing shoes were launching a fierce attack around the curly-haired teddy bear.

"Bang bang bang!"

Sometimes flying kicks, sometimes fierce stomps, sometimes kicking the left cheek, sometimes kicking the right cheek, like annoying and tireless flies.

Whether it was his imagination or not, Zhang Yuanqing felt that Dog Elder looked utterly hopeless at this moment.

On the reception sofa, Fu Qingyang, Guan Ya, and Jiang Jingwei were sitting. The red-haired girl was staring at Teddy Elder as if watching a show, constantly making "haha" and "giggle" sounds.

Guan Ya pursed her lips tightly, trying hard to hold back.

Fu Qingyang still had a brick-like face, but his eyes were fixed on Dog Elder, never leaving, not willing to move for a moment.

The Elder has triggered the red dancing shoes' killing rule... As expected of a rule-based item, even the Elder can't resolve it. However, it can be seen that Dog Elder is a very dignified expert, willing to endure the harassment of the red dancing shoes rather than embarrassingly dance.

Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the laughter that almost escaped his lips.

As the study door opened, Fu Qingyang and the others looked over. Dog Elder's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he glared at Yuan Shi Tian Zun with murderous intent.

Zhang Yuanqing immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Elder, for traveling thousands of miles to the capital to solve the hidden dangers of my item. I will definitely repay you in the future."

Looking at such a respectful and obedient subordinate, Dog Elder didn't know how to vent his anger. At this moment, the red dancing shoes flew up and gave him a big slap in the face.

Anger blazed in Dog Elder's eyes.

Zhang Yuanqing bowed again and said, "Thank you, Elder."

Dog Elder said in a deep voice, "Take this broken item back."

"Yes!" Zhang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the red dancing shoes. "You are not allowed to offend the Elder."

He secretly summoned it.

Receiving its master's call, the red dancing shoes stopped attacking and hopped towards its master.

It is worth mentioning that after an item recognizes its master, the master can actively cancel or interrupt the red dancing shoes' attack. This is a power granted by the Spirit Realm.

Zhang Yuanqing was about to put away the red dancing shoes when he suddenly saw a message appear:

【Would you like to dance with me? If so, please step in place.】

Crap, I forgot that I haven't paid the price for the last time I used it. Zhang Yuanqing looked at Dog Elder and said, "Elder, I'll leave for a moment..."

"No need!" Dog Elder said indifferently, "Just dance here."

*You're doing this on purpose!!*

Zhang Yuanqing immediately looked at Fu Qingyang: Centurion, you have to support me.

Fu Qingyang looked away.

Guan Ya silently took out her phone and turned on the recording function.

"Dancing?" Jiang Jingwei was excited. "I want to see, I want to see!"

Dance then, it's not like I've never danced awkwardly in public before. I am the true inheritor of Uncle's mantle. Zhang Yuanqing took a step back with his left foot, raised his toes, and made a curtsy.

Immediately afterward, the sound of "shua shua peng" tap-dancing came from the study.

A few minutes later, the red dancing shoes finished dancing and contentedly curtsied, turning into red light and dissipating.

Dog Elder was satisfied and said, "You guys can leave now, I have something to say to Yuan Shi."

Fu Qingyang immediately got up. When he passed by his trusted subordinate, he nodded slightly, expressing his approval of his dance skills: "You danced well."

Guan Ya raised her phone at him with a mischievous smile.

Zhang Yuanqing grabbed her hand. "I have only one request, don't let Yuan Ting know."

Fu Qingyang paused and glanced at their hands.

Zhang Yuanqing immediately let go.

After Jiang Jingwei also left, Dog Elder said in a deep voice, "When I went to the capital this time, I learned a piece of news from Elder Sun. He said that he encountered the Three Dao Mountain Goddess in the Night Wanderer Spirit Realm and learned the reason why she was looking for you."

Zhang Yuanqing's heart suddenly sank.

Dog Elder continued, "He hopes that you will sell that item containing the Three Dao Mountain Goddess's Yang Soul. Are you willing?"

The Vajra Pestle's function is purification and demon subduing, but it carries a great deal of karma, making it easy for the old hag to track him from thousands of miles away.

If the Taiyi Sect could provide an item to replace the Vajra Pestle and throw in other valuable items, including cash, Zhang Yuanqing would still be willing to sell it.

It's just like the Fallen Holy Grail. Although its level is very high, it's not very useful to him. It's best to convert it into benefits that he can currently absorb.

Exchange it for a few powerful items and take down Li Xianzong...

Zhang Yuanqing thought about it. If he were to sell it, what price would be appropriate?

Dog Elder praised, "There's no need to feel embarrassed. I've already refused for you. The Three Dao Mountain Goddess's Yang Soul is a rare treasure, and you're a Night Wanderer, so it will definitely be of great use in the future. Does he think he can take this treasure away with a single sentence, 'Name your price'?"

"Elder, what did you say?"

Home is where you don't get lost.

"The Three Dao Mountain Goddess's Yang Soul is a rare treasure."

"No, I mean, did you say, 'Name your price'?" Zhang Yuanqing was heartbroken. He thought to himself, *I'm willing to sell it! Please buy it at a high price!*

Dog Elder was stunned and pretended not to see that he was tempted. He continued, "It's normal that you're unwilling to sell it. The Three Dao Mountain Goddess's Yang Soul has three major uses. First, it can be used to refine high-level items. Second, when you reach the Dominator Realm in the future, you can use it to make a deal with that Goddess. Third, the most extreme method is to manipulate her and enslave her."

"In other words, as long as you reach the Dominator Realm, you can use that thing to become a powerhouse in the Dominator stage."

This was the reason he rejected Elder Sun. He was taking a gamble. If Yuan Shi Tian Zun could advance to the Dominator stage, the Five Elements Alliance would have another top combat force.

Enslave the old hag... Suddenly, he didn't want to sell the Vajra Pestle anymore. He pondered and said, "However, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect it."

Dog Elder said, "If you're afraid that the Taiyi Sect's people will secretly snatch it, then don't worry. Elders wouldn't do such a thing, and the Five Elements Alliance wouldn't allow it. However, you should be wary of Dark Rose.

"As for Xie Ling, that is indeed a problem. You can temporarily hand over that item for the branch to keep it safe for you. When your level is high enough in the future, you can take it back. Of course, the choice is yours."

Handing it over is the safest option. With the Elder's guarantee, the official wouldn't dare to swindle my item, or else they would have ways to deal with it. But in that case, I would lose a powerful item. From the current point of view, the Five Elements Alliance doesn't seem to have any Night Wanderer Dominator-level items, so all the substitute items are given to Jiang Jingwei...

As for Xie Ling, as long as I don't encounter a dungeon like Jinshui Amusement Park that has been affected by the old hag, it should be fine...

Zhang Yuanqing said, "I'll consider it."

First floor, training room.

Wearing white practice clothes, Zhang Yuanqing was doing simple stretching exercises according to the Yang Soul's instructions.

The Night Wanderer had given him a strong physique and good flexibility. Now he could easily do the splits without fear of pulling his groin.

Yang Soul and Fu Qingyang were also wearing white practice clothes. The two women, one big and one small, had high looks and good figures, which was pleasing to the eye.

"Jingwei, why are you here too?" Zhang Yuanqing, while stretching his legs, looked at the red-haired girl.

"To fight with Sister Yang Soul! Isn't that more interesting than going to school or work?" Fu Qingyang said excitedly.

She didn't want to continue sitting in the office.

Zhang Yuanqing's heart stirred. "Who is stronger, you or Yang Soul?"

"Without using abilities, just fighting, I've never won," Fu Qingyang said honestly.

The old driver's fighting skills are stronger than I thought. Jingwei is no match for her...

Yang Soul was sitting on the ground with her legs together, leaning forward, easily pinching the soles of her pink feet. If the neckline were lower, Zhang Yuanqing would be able to receive a benefit.

While stretching, she said, "Although you're a newbie, we'll skip strength training for now. There are many schools of combat, both domestic and foreign, too numerous to count. I'll teach you free combat first. At the current stage, it's the most suitable for you.

"When your level improves, if you're still interested in physical skills, I'll teach you more schools."

"Sounds like you're also proficient in the Hundred Schools of Arts?" Zhang Yuanqing looked at her with admiration.

Yang Soul maintained her bent-over posture and smiled. "I was forced to. Alas, the Fu family is an inhumanely large family. From a young age, they raised their children like Gu, and children of the same generation had to compete everywhere. Learning, fighting, and scheming.

"If you don't want to be beaten, you can only train hard. My talent is not bad. After the age of ten, except for one older cousin, I couldn't beat anyone. But I'm tired of this kind of life. The higher the elders' expectations, the less I want to work hard."

I can't tell, you're also a confidant of Senior Teng Yuan. Zhang Yuanqing asked, "What about the Centurion? When he was young, he must have been a promising figure."

"He was beaten by me until he was almost deformed," Yang Soul chuckled. "When he was a child, he was weak and sickly and lacked talent. The adults said he was a hopeless child... Forget it, let's not talk about his dark history."

Lacking talent? The most outstanding young man in the Five Elements Alliance, one of the top powerhouses below the Dominator level, has poor talent? Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself that Zhang Yuanqing must have had a childhood of "Don't bully a young man for being poor."

Zhang Yuanqing finished stretching and was eager to try. "Sister Yang Soul, let's start."

Yang Soul used her small waist to stand up straight and said, "In order to quickly improve your combat level, you can't use skills. Then let's begin."

Zhang Yuanqing pondered for a moment. "Free combat, is there no limit?"

Yang Soul nodded. "Winning is the only standard. Are you going to discuss the rules with the enemy?"

Dusk.

Three hours later, Zhang Yuanqing dragged his tired steps out of the training room and came to the hall.

In the living room on the first floor, Guan Ya was chatting and laughing with two bunny girls on an expensive sofa. When Zhang Yuanqing came out, Guan Ya and the bunny girls fell silent.

Guan Ya was stunned by Zhang Yuanqing's miserable state. "Your left face is swollen like a pig's head."

"Yang Soul hit me."

"What about the right side of your face?"

"Jingwei hit me."

"Even if the Night Wanderer has strong recovery, you can't abuse you like this," Guan Ya said angrily.

"It's not like that. Yang Soul said she wanted to teach me free combat, and she said that winning is the only goal, with no rules to speak of. Then I used a lost technique from the Jianghu on her, the Dragon Claw Hand of Breast Grabbing."

"In that case, you didn't lose out."

"But I didn't touch anything."

"Then why did Jingwei hit you? Did you also use the lost Dragon Claw Hand of Breast Grabbing on her?"

"Do I look like a pervert? I just said one sentence: 'NTR must die.'" (NTR: Netorare, a Japanese term for being cuckolded).

"Oh, then the fact that she didn't beat you to death means she still loves you."

At this time, the bunny girl brought him the black pepper steak, sausage, fried eggs, desserts, fruits, functional drinks, etc. prepared for him to replenish his strength.

Zhang Yuanqing stopped chatting and devoured the food.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Zhang Yuanqing put on a baseball cap and mask, wrapping himself up tightly, and secretly returned home.

Zhang Yuanqing sneaked into the bedroom and shouted, "Grandma, I've already eaten outside. I have to do my homework tonight, don't disturb me."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? I made too much dinner again tonight," Grandma said angrily.

"Just send it to Uncle to eat. Anyway, he's full and doing nothing all day," Zhang Yuanqing replied.

When Grandma heard this, she thought it made sense and wasn't angry anymore.

Closing the door, Zhang Yuanqing first opened the chat software and took a look.

Ling Jun had sent him a series of [crying] emoticons three hours ago.

Zhang Yuanqing replied: "I've been practicing fighting recently, waiting for my brother's divine skill to be completed."

Ling Jun replied instantly: "After your divine skill is completed, will you avenge me?"

Zhang Yuanqing: "No, I'll beat you up with her."

Ling Jun sent another string of [crying] emoticons.

Zhang Yuanqing put down his phone and came to the full-length mirror by the window, baring his teeth.

The swelling on his face had subsided, but the internal injuries hadn't healed. His waist and chest ached faintly, probably damaging his internal organs.

"Seriously, she hit so hard. She said she wanted to rent a room with me and use me to practice the art of tying chickens, but in reality, as soon as I showed a little bit of fantasy about her exaggerated chest muscles, she beat me??"

But Yang Soul did teach some useful things.

His biggest problem is that he only knows how to use his fists and feet to hit people, and doesn't know how to use his knees, inches, shoulders, and back rationally.

When he encounters someone with weaker physical fitness than him, he can suppress them, but as soon as he encounters a fighting expert, he instantly exposes his identity as a newbie.

Jinshui Amusement Park.

The night was dark, and the amusement park sparkled with dreamy, dazzling lights.

A golden light cut through the dark night sky, condensing into a peerlessly beautiful woman in ancient costume. Her appearance was beautiful and dignified, and the lines of her cheeks outlined a perfect face. Her delicate nose was tall and exquisite, and her lips were sexy.

In the night wind, her skirt and black hair fluttered, cold and clear, like a fairy.

The Three Dao Mountain Goddess glanced at the entertainment facilities below. Six weak, curled-up ants were riding on a roaring roller coaster with their eyes closed.

She withdrew her gaze and didn't look any further, riding the golden light and descending to the gloomy old house.

The yin energy here stagnated, and the resentful spirits in the haunted house prostrated on the ground, shivering.

A thick cloud of yin energy spread from the depths of the old house, stopping three zhang away from the Three Dao Mountain Goddess. Dimly, a figure wearing a wedding dress bowed to her.

The Three Dao Mountain Goddess asked, "Do you have any clues about the person I asked you to find?"

ps: I'll post the corrections later.
