While on Mount Hua, my mind is at peace!

Is Chapter 93 the same as "the life of a beast"?

Yue Feng wasn't surprised by the girl's answer. From the first moment he met "Madam Ji," he had harbored doubts about her identity. It wasn't because of her appearance or any other external qualities, but rather because there was always a strange sense of incongruity about her. Yue Feng hadn't known the source of this incongruity then, but now he did.

At Madam Ji's command, five maids went inside, dressed, and returned to bow and apologize to Yue Feng. Upon hearing them introduce themselves, Yue Feng realized that the one who had impersonated Madam Ji was the eldest of the five maids, named Su Yu.

Yue Feng ignored the five maids' apologies. What a joke! You all stirred up my anger, then ran away, leaving Wu Shuangxue to toil all night. Is this how you do things?

"Madam Ji, what exactly do you intend to do by arranging such a show to entertain me?" Yue Feng asked calmly, taking a sip of tea.

"I have been trapped in the Xie family mansion for ten years," Madam Ji said calmly. "If you, young hero, could rescue me, I would never forget your great kindness."

Yue Feng chuckled twice but did not reply.

Madam Ji said, "Since I have a request for you, young hero, I will naturally not shortchange you, nor will I hide anything from you."

"My father once served as a bodyguard in the Imperial Palace, holding the rank of fifth grade. The Yin-Yang Limitless Skill is a family heirloom, and what the Xie family obtained is fake. It was a heretical skill of 'sexual cultivation' that Xie Hongde, the head of the Xie family, fabricated after killing my father, based on only fragments of his words. Young Master Feng, do you have any questions now?"

Yue Feng asked, "How did Xie Hongde kill your father?"

Madam Ji said, "The Xie family and my family have been friends for generations. Xie Hongde watched my father grow up, and we have a very deep friendship. Do I need to say more?"

Yue Feng sighed and nodded.

Madam Ji said, "My father had many friends in the palace. After Xie Hongde killed him, he adopted me as his goddaughter to cover his tracks; when I came of age, he betrothed me to his second son."

"My father's friends saw how well he treated me, and gradually their suspicions about him disappeared. Instead, they took care of him in every way, which is why the Xie family has achieved its current status. Haha, Xie Hongde really made a good deal."

Yue Feng nodded and said, "It's quite profitable." His tone was unreadable. Madam Ji paused for a moment, then added:

"For ten years, Xie Hongde has been trying every means to extract the secret manual of the Yin-Yang Limitless Skill from me. But I was too young when my father died to learn this extraordinary skill. Xie Hongde refused to believe it and used every trick in the book to get to me..."

A cold laugh suddenly came from outside the living room window: "I never expected this, the second young master's wife is having an affair, she's even doing it in our home. Kid, you have quite the unique taste."

Before the words were finished, a small, thin figure appeared in the living room. He looked like a child, yet possessed a profound and imposing presence. Without waiting for Madam Ji's command, Su Yu and the other five maids moved swiftly, surrounding the figure. The person completely disregarded Su Yu and the others, merely staring at the screen with a half-smile.

Madam Ji's tone remained calm and composed: "Chief Instructor Ouyang, what are your intentions?"

Head Instructor Ouyang's lewd gaze lingered on each of the five maids, including Su Yu: "I have no other desires than beautiful women. Madam Ji, all five of your maids are stunningly beautiful. It's such a waste that this brat gets them. How about lending me a few to play with?"

"Ouyang Sheng, you're asking for death!"

Enraged, the five maids attacked Ouyang Sheng simultaneously. Their martial arts were both highly skilled and their teamwork seamless; their palm strikes and fist shadows engulfed Ouyang Sheng in an instant.

Ouyang Sheng darted out of the encirclement, kicked the screen through, and hovered his hand above Madam Ji's head: "Stop!"

The five maids' eyes widened in fury, but they had no choice but to stop. Madam Ji suddenly sighed, "Young Master Feng, tonight's events have implicated you. I will make it up to you in the future. For now… please go back!"

Yue Feng sized up the young woman under Ouyang Sheng's grasp, who was none other than Madam Ji. Although Madam Ji's eyes were beautiful, they were empty and lifeless, clearly indicating that she was blind. She sat motionless in a wooden wheelchair, and it seemed that not only her eyes, but also her limbs were already crippled.

Yue Feng truly hadn't expected that the always resolute and composed Madam Ji would be such a blind and immobile cripple. He stood there stunned for a moment. Then he heard Ouyang Sheng say:

"Madam Ji, you seem quite devoted to this boy. But have you considered what if I didn't let him go back? What if I... just wanted someone to watch how I toyed with your maids?"

Madam Ji said, "Ouyang Sheng, I advise you not to go too far. If you dare to lay a finger on this young hero Feng, I have plenty of ways to make you look bad in front of the old patriarch."

Ouyang Sheng's heart skipped a beat; he was genuinely wary of Madam Ji's words. He quickly realized that as long as that young man surnamed Feng lived, he would have another bargaining chip to blackmail Madam Ji. He turned to Yue Feng and said:

"Kid, you're lucky. For Madam Ji's sake, get out of here!"

Yue Feng tapped the table twice with his fingers, then suddenly said to Su Yu, "I'm thirsty, pour me some wine."

Su Yu was taken aback. She glanced at Madam Ji, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over to pour wine for Yue Feng.

Yue Feng asked Su Yu, who was pouring wine, "I just heard you say that this person's name is Ouyang Sheng?"

"Um."

"Is the 'Sheng' in 'Ouyang Sheng' the same as the 'Sheng' in 'beast

Su Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing. Then, remembering the current situation, she glared at Yue Feng and said sternly, "No, it's the 'promotion' in 'official promotion'."

"Oh~ so it's the 'ascension' that means to heaven."

Upon hearing Yue Feng's words, not only Su Yu and the other four maids, but even Madam Ji couldn't help but smile slightly. This smile was extremely faint, containing seven parts worry and three parts self-pity.

Ouyang Sheng's face had turned completely cold, as had his tone: "Boy, you've brought this upon yourself, don't blame me!" He abandoned Madam Ji and leaped in front of Yue Feng. Madam Ji's warning was ignored; the five maids, including Su Yu, tried to stop him, but he easily broke through their defenses.

Yue Feng put down his wine cup and pulled a three-inch-long throwing knife from his pocket. An overwhelming chill emanated from the blade, causing everyone in the living room to shiver.

Ouyang Sheng felt himself being stared at by a pair of invisible, large eyes, and he quickly retreated. His speed in lunging at Yue Feng was already extremely fast, but his retreat was even faster. Moreover, there was almost no pause between his lunge and his retreat.

As he retreated, he grabbed five maids, including Su Yu, and used them as projectiles to throw at Yue Feng or as shields to protect himself. But at that moment, a chilling light pierced through all of time and space, striking him squarely in the throat.
