I Have A Martial Dao World

Otherworld, Jin Garden

In the three days that Lu Yao had been absent, Liao Qe had a delightful time, all thanks to the company of a very attentive "big" sister~

This big sister often gave her rare little gifts and guided her cultivation, speaking in a way that was a pleasure to listen to, much better than her own blood sister!

Her real sister was always bossing her around, nagging her about how to eat properly, how to walk, even how to sit or lie down, and would spank her on impulse.

On several occasions, she had been spanked in front of someone she had a crush on, causing her great embarrassment.

Moreover, lately her sister had been getting on strangely with her crush, exchanging looks that seemed to be blazing with an inner fire...

Thinking of this, Liao Qe shook her head to dispel the unpleasant thoughts.

Li Pei asked, "Little sister, what is the matter with you?"

"It's nothing, just some silly thoughts~"

At this moment, two charming women were soaking together in a medicinal bath.

In the emerald green liquid, only pink and white hues could be seen, as the two tender bodies cuddled intimately, seeming even closer than real sisters.

"It should be about time," said Li Pei, who had recently been trying hard to ingratiate herself with Liao Qe.

Liao Qe felt increasingly fond of the Commandery Princess.

Her own sister was stingy and wouldn't let others even look at her. But this big sister was generous,

and after spending time with Li Pei, Liao Qe grew bolder.

"Heehee~"

Liao Qe let out a few giggles. Though she was the youngest, she was quite familiar with this sensation and even teased the Commandery Princess a bit.

Feeling quite pleased, she stood up and left the bathing tub.

As Li Pei, a woman herself, could not help but admire, "Indeed, little sister has a graceful figure."

Touching the curves of her waist and hips, Liao Qe proudly said, "Lu Yao really likes this spot."

Li Pei also got up from the tub, her figure in no way inferior.

Her Inner Breath steamed away the water on her body in an instant, before she helped Liao Qe dry off and get dressed, acting every bit the caring big sister.

She felt... it was about time to "lay her cards on the table."

~~~~~~~~

At the same moment, in the western mountainous forest of Jin Garden.

A man clad in black, his face covered and carrying a katana, stood atop a tree, gazing into Jin Garden from afar.

His pupils were wide, his eyes sharp like an eagle's, taking in a clear and detailed view of the garden's interior.

This was the way a Martial Artist observed from a distance, very different from those in the Spirit Refinement stage.

After completing his observation, the man leaped down from the nearly 30-meter-high treetop and landed lightly without a sound.

A layer of Inner Breath covered his body, nullifying all air movement and noise, a method of Inner Breath usage unique to the Blood-Exchange Mirror stage.

The masked man said to his two companions, "I have confirmed that the Fetal Breath Realm powerhouse is not here; we can make our move."

"Even if he were here, what of it! The Spirit Refinement of Divine Fetal Breathing, the Martial Path is nothing but Marrow-Cleansing after all."

Another short-statured masked man, toying with a shuriken in his hand, spoke with disdain:

"Kogia Hideki! By dithering, you've wasted a full two days! Don't you know our most important task currently is to monitor the movements of the Beiyang Fleet!"

Kogia Hideki didn't respond but instructed, "Jubei, Mikiko! We strike immediately! Remember, we have to capture the one called Liao Qe!"

The short, masked man known as Jubei was ignored by the other party, and he instantly flew into a rage, "You brat from Koga! Who said you get to call the shots..."

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by his last companion "Mikiko," "Lord Iga Jubei, please calm your anger."

She, too, was dressed in black with a masked face, but her figure was enchanting, and her voice very sweet, "As fellow members of the Genyo Society, please prioritize the bigger picture over quarreling."

Iga Jubei fell silent, his face cold.

The three of them were from a spy organization in Izumo—the Genyo Society—known for their long-standing infiltration, sabotage, and intelligence-gathering activities within the territory of the Shun Dynasty.

Although all three were members of the Genyo Society, they came from different training sects.

The two men were ninjas from Koga and Iga, ninja organizations that had been hostile to each other for centuries; whereas the woman was from the "Special Higher Police."

While they didn't get along very well, they could still unite against a common enemy.

The most important task at hand was to monitor every move of the Beiyang Fleet to prepare for the coming war.

But at this critical moment, they were suddenly dispatched to Yunzhou to carry out a kidnapping by "Kuki Ryuichi."

Mikiko spoke sweetly, "There's only one Blood-Exchange, two Marrow-Cleansings in the manor; we have three Blood-Exchanges, plus six Marrow-Cleansing assistants. We completely overpower them!"

After finishing her statement, she clapped her hands, and six black-clothed figures appeared and bowed deeply to the three of them. They were all at the Marrow-Cleansing Realm, assigned to assist the three lords during the operation.

The group of nine headed straight for Jin Garden.

Their running was rather peculiar—with their hands held behind them, bodies skimming close to the ground.

They were armed with a variety of cold weapons, but all carried large-caliber double-barreled shotguns on their backs—elephant guns!

~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, inside Jin Garden, the three were oblivious to the impending crisis.

Li Pei was helping Liao Qe comb her hair. The girl usually wore two braids, but this time she opted for a "peach heart bun," which presented a unique charm.

As she combed Liao Qe's hair, Li Pei hinted, "Sister, Lu Yao is so young and already at the Fetal Breath Realm; his future is boundless."

"Hmm, he will definitely become a Great Grandmaster of the Golden Body Realm."

"Indeed... But to become a Great Grandmaster, talent alone is not enough; through the ages, so many geniuses have fallen midway, a real cause for regrets," she said.

The Commandery Princess was spot on, and upon hearing this, Liao Qe immediately tensed up.

Li Pei continued, "So... just to be on the safe side, it's best to form a marital alliance with a trustworthy and dependable power. Only then can one steadily reach the peak."

Liao Qe looked back at her "big" sister with a strange expression and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Sister~" Li Pei spoke candidly, "Look at me, I'm already 20 and still haven't found a suitable husband. Why not have Lu Yao marry me? That way, we'd become real sisters, and I would treat you even better than I do now~"

Liao Qe was flabbergasted, pointing at her big sister, unable to speak. It took her a good while before she stammered, "You... you... I don't want your stuff, and don't you dare try to take my Lu Yao."

As she spoke, she took off her watch, hair clip, and everything else in a hurry and handed them back to Li Pei.

Li Pei quickly tried to persuade her, "Wait a second, sister~ Forgive my frankness—you might not be able to hold onto Lu Yao.

Think about those women who visited two days ago; there will only be more coming in the future, and some might be even more impressive.

But with me around, I can drive them all away. Not a single one will be allowed to enter~"

"Hehe, no need, I can take care of it. With your beauty, Princess, you can certainly find someone better."

Li Pei took Liao Qe's hand, speaking earnestly, "I'm not overbearing; I would only share a little bit of you, just think of it as having one more sister... "

"I don't want another sister!" Liao Qe shouted, jerking her hand away, and ran outside.

At that moment, a series of explosions erupted nearby in the garden, creating a continuous rumble—one of Lu Yao's landmines had been detonated!
