Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 277 - 265: Stunning (2/3)

Chapter 277: Chapter 265: Stunning (2/3)

At the crack of dawn, accompanied by the crowing of roosters, the children of the Zhao Family would rise to practice their cultivation habits. Many would get out of bed at this time and busily hammer out their basic skills in the square. Of course, those were the kids at the Body Refinement Realm; after advancing to the Spirit Gathering Realm, they would focus on cultivating their Spiritual Power.

The Body Refining Stage involved doing a lot of exercise to accelerate the digestion of food in order to obtain more True Yuan Force.

Even from a distance, and without any Formation to block the sounds, Zhou Heng, with his keen hearing, could hear everything clearly. His eyelids twitched, and he woke up.

Hiss!

After drifting off to sleep, he had unknowingly ended up in an affectionate embrace with Ying Mengfan. With her enchanting fragrance in his nose, he couldn’t help tightening his arms, pulling the beauty in his arms even closer.

"Hmm—" Ying Mengfan was awoken by his force, fluttering her beautiful eyes open after a yawn. Then, she turned to face him and wrapped her arms around Zhou Heng’s neck, as soft and smooth as lotus roots, "Zhou, Heng, I like you!"

She sounded a bit like a baby learning to speak, stammering when saying his name, but her sincere expression involuntarily stirred something deep inside.

Zhou Heng knew that she didn’t truly like him; rather, her Mysterious Yin Physique was attracted to the aura of the Golden Sun Grass King. It was like a stranger luring a kid with a candy - the child liked the candy, not the stranger.

Thinking about taking advantage of someone’s vulnerability and bullying a grown girl made Zhou Heng’s face heat up with embarrassment. But with a devastating beauty nestled in his arms, he found he didn’t want to push her away!

In fact, curing her "amnesia" would be easy, just a matter of uniting in Yin and Yang; as the Mysterious Yin Physique burned itself up, it would release a healing big shot, capable of even undoing a love knot, not to mention mere amnesia.

But if he did this, how would Ying Mengfan blame and despise him when she "woke up"?

Zhou Heng didn’t know, and seeing her innocent, pure appearance, he truly couldn’t bear to hurt her, to deceive such a young lady into bed, which seemed utterly beastly!

"Zhou, Heng, don’t you like me?" Ying Mengfan said, sounding a little unhappy as Zhou Heng hadn’t responded immediately. She pouted her petal-like lips, her charm absolutely captivating.

"I do!" Zhou Heng sighed, his eyes flashing with firm resolve.

He was a selfish man. Now that he had shared a bed with Ying Mengfan, she could only be his! Of course, he wouldn’t deny that it was because of Ying Mengfan’s unparalleled beauty. If it had been an ugly woman, he would surely have picked her up and thrown her out.

First, he had to cure this woman’s "amnesia."

Zhou Heng resisted all temptation, got out of bed, and picked out an outfit for Ying Mengfan—the Nine Mystic Trial Tower had a vast array of women’s clothes, already prepared since the times of An Yumei and the other women, and now there were even more.

Although Ying Mengfan had the intelligence of a child, her desire for beauty was innate to all women, whether they were three-year-old girls or eighty-year-old grandmothers. Cheerfully, she put on the new clothes and admired herself in front of the Copper Realm mirror, her vanity on full display.

Uncontrollably, Zhou Heng chuckled. This woman’s beauty was unmatched by anyone; no matter what she wore, she was stunning. The pale yellow dress, though a bit tight, accentuated her impressive curves, making her irresistibly sexy!

The tight fit was mainly because her large bosom filled out the clothing, bouncing with each step, enough to make one’s mouth water.

Such a beauty should be admired by him alone!

That thought struck Zhou Heng forcefully, and then he caught himself, almost becoming another Ying Cheng’en!

Ying Mengfan’s beauty could indeed incite a strong possessive desire in any man, making them unwilling to even let a second person glance at her.

Leading her by the hand, Zhou Heng went to meet Zhao Kexin and Xiao Huoshui, among others.

The moment this great beauty appeared, the room seemed to brighten significantly. Whether it was Zhao Kexin, Xiao Huoshui, or Feng Lianqing, the women were visibly astounded, looking almost dumbstruck.

If even women reacted this way, what more of men?

There were rumors that after Ying Mengfan disappeared, many men had even committed suicide out of heartbreak, which testified to her tremendous allure!

"Zhou Heng, who is she?" Xiao Huoshui asked dryly.

She had always been confident in her beauty. After seeing Mei Yixiang and Han Yiyao, although admitting they had the edge in looks, she believed her natural charm was sufficient compensation, and her self-esteem had never been wounded.

But Ying Mengfan’s beauty seemed not of this world, far surpassing Mei Yixiang and Han Yiyao, and next to her, Xiao Huoshui felt inferior.

This beauty should not belong to the human world!

Even Xiao Huoshui was willing to concede defeat, let alone the other women, who looked at Ying Mengfan with envy in their eyes. Everybody desired such exquisite beauty; how they yearned to possess such allure.

Ying Mengfan, shy around strangers, hid behind Zhou Heng, frightened by their stares. She nervously clung to the hem of Zhou Heng’s clothes.

But she was not a five-year-old child. On the contrary, she gleamed with ripe, mature beauty. Her coy demeanor added to her allure, her shyness making even Xiao Huoshui and the other women blush with burgeoning desire.

Goodness, this woman was truly incredible!

Zhou Heng quickly coughed, saying, "Her identity is a secret; I can tell you, but you must not divulge it to anyone else!" His expression was serious as he added, "She is Ying Mengfan!"

Pfft!

The women instantly spewed out, covering the entire table.

Even if they hadn’t been to the Imperial Capital before, who didn’t know about its number one beauty from back then after staying here for so many days?

But wasn’t that great beauty already long missing?

How did Zhou Heng get so lucky? She had been missing for more than a decade, and he just arrived in the Imperial Capital and found her!

"Here’s what happened—" Zhou Heng didn’t hide anything since everyone present was considered an insider. He told the story of how, ten days ago, after finishing a martial competition, he secretly entered the Ying Family hoping to make a fortune, but unexpectedly discovered Ying Mengfan.

"So that’s how it is!" Zhao Kexin’s face was filled with sympathy as she hugged Ying Mengfan tightly in her arms. "This child has really suffered!"

Zhou Heng’s face twitched. Taking actual age into account, Ying Mengfan had to be at least as old as his mother, right?

Just think about it!

More than a decade ago, when Zhao Kexin had just grown into a young woman and married Zhou Dinghai to give birth to him, Ying Mengfan’s reputation as the most beautiful woman in the Imperial Capital was already well established in people’s hearts!

Ying Mengfan might even be a few years older!

However, once a Martial Artist steps beyond the Spirit Gathering Realm, an age difference of a few years, or even over a hundred years, doesn’t matter much. For those in the Mountains and Rivers Realm with a lifespan of up to 1,600 years, sixteen years were equivalent to just one year for an ordinary person.

Although Ying Mengfan looked like a fully matured beautiful woman, her mental capacity was at best that of a four or five-year-old child, so calling her a child wasn’t wrong at all.

"You all should get along well with her and see if you can help her recover her memory!" Zhou Heng said. If it weren’t necessary, he really didn’t want to resort to that one method.

...

Ying Mengfan was simply too beautiful, so beautiful that even Xiao Huoshui and the others couldn’t feel jealous of her. Plus, her childlike behavior made it impossible for the women to see her as a competitor; instead, they became even more protective of her.

However, there was no tendency for her to recover her memory after a few days. She remained oblivious and carefree.

"She must have received a great shock before, causing her spirit to seal itself off as a way to escape reality. That’s why she’s like a four- or five-year-old child. These may very well be the happiest, most carefree days of her life!" Nangong Yuerong analyzed.

All the women nodded in agreement, as it was common for Martial Artists to get injured, and each of them could be considered half a doctor.

"The best way to restore her memory is to let her experience a great shock again!" Orchid Concubine also suggested.

"I’ll do it! I’ll do it!" Feng Lianqing said excitedly.

Zhou Heng’s expression turned solemn. "Don’t mess around!"

"How could I!" Feng Lianqing promised, patting her chest for assurance.

As it turned out, this wild girl was as unreliable as Black Donkey in her actions. Her so-called "great shock" was to suddenly push Ying Mengfan into a pond, a fire pit, or off a cliff. Although Ying Mengfan was of Mountains and Rivers Realm Cultivation Level, her heart was only that of a four or five-year-old, so naturally, she got scared out of her wits.

Now, whenever Ying Mengfan saw Feng Lianqing, she would scream "bad person" and cling to Zhou Heng, refusing to leave his side.

It was at this time that Ying Cheng’en finally returned.

Zhou Heng hadn’t noticed at the time, but he felt the ground shake for a good ten minutes. It wasn’t until two days later that he learned Ying Cheng’en had thrown a massive fit, nearly destroying the entire Ying Family!

Only then did the news spread. Apparently, Ying Cheng’en’s courtyard had been thoroughly looted!

The entire Imperial Capital was in an uproar!

What was the Ying Family? They were a family with a Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestor presiding over it!

Even though Ying Tianyin was mostly in secluded Cultivation, the mere words "Nascent Soul Realm" were enough to suppress the Universe. Who would dare to offend?

But not only had someone dared, the target was none other than the Ying Family’s prodigy, Ying Cheng’en!

This was an absolute provocation!

It was said that even Ying Tianyin himself had been alarmed and issued an edict to tear the perpetrator to pieces.
