Twenty-odd years of age…

This phrase echoed repeatedly in the minds of Nie Qingsong and the elders.

The courtyard gradually fell silent, the atmosphere growing somewhat oppressive. After a long pause, Nie Qingsong finally spoke, "Elders, tell me, how should our Nie Family handle this matter?"

"..."

Nie Xinghai and Nie Xingyun exchanged uneasy glances.

That pair of siblings did not even seem to hold the Sacred Mountain of Moluo in high regard, and they possessed the power to defeat two Cave Spirit Masters with ease; their background must be anything but simple.

Such individuals were not to be provoked lightly by the Nie Family.

However, the state Nie Fenglei was left in made it impossible to simply let the matter drop. Not only would it be humiliating for the Patriarch, but it would also severely damage the Nie Family's prestige within Jiyang City.

Suddenly, a deep, vigorous voice sounded directly in their ears, "There is no need to discuss this further. The fault lies entirely with Fenglei. Tomorrow, he will go to the Sishai Tower and offer an apology."

The voice of the Great Elder, Nie Shengong!

"Yes."

Nie Qingsong and the others were momentarily stunned, responding with a bow almost simultaneously, yet the confusion in their hearts deepened. From the Great Elder's tone, it seemed Nie Fenglei’s current predicament was his own doing? Furthermore, the Great Elder's manner suggested a degree of apprehension toward the brother and sister.

"Fifth Uncle, do you have any healing spirit medicine on you? Give him a pill, and once he wakes up, we can ask him exactly what transpired," Nie Qingsong said, a hint of frustration coloring his tone. His eldest son looked young, but he was already in his thirties, usually quite steady in his actions; how could he have stirred up such trouble?

"That is the only way now!"

Nie Xingyun nodded in agreement, but Nie Shengong seemed uneasy. His voice sounded again in their ears, "Remember, the male who acted is a Heaven Spirit Master. Never treat him as a mere young man!" [Hand-typed and first published on Baidu by Dawn Spirit]

"Heaven Spirit?"

"..."

Behind the Sishai Tower, a row of courtyards was built around a pond.

Nie Kong was quite fortunate; two courtyards were vacant that night. After dinner, he brought Taiyan along and casually selected one to settle into. The night grew deeper, and the clamor of Jiyang City slowly subsided.

However, Nie Kong had no intention of sleeping; not because of the previous encounter, which he considered a trivial interlude. Rather, upon returning to Jiyang City, memories of various people involuntarily surfaced: now it was Hua Mei, then Nie Xingyun and Lian Tianxin, then Mu Xiaoling and Mu Hongling…

Nie Kong tossed and turned, causing the bed boards to creak rhythmically.

"Brother."

Taiyan’s warm, delicate body suddenly pressed against him from behind.

"What is it?"

Nie Kong turned over in confusion, immediately met by two pale, snow-white jade mounds. His mind spun slightly, and he gritted his teeth, "Why aren't you wearing any clothes again? Be good, listen to me, put your clothes on first, or you won't be sleeping in my bed anymore."

Nie Kong felt utterly helpless regarding the girl Taiyan.

Back on Dragon Island, she frequently sneaked into his bed to sleep while Long Xuechan was fast asleep. Fortunately, she always managed to shrink her form to be small and exquisite before Long Xuechan woke up; otherwise, if Long Xuechan caught her, the jealousy would surely overflow. Even the most broad-minded woman would not be pleased to find another woman sneaking into her bed to embrace her man while he slept with his lover.

After leaving Dragon Island, most of the time was spent resting on the back of the Spectral Eagle King, which reduced the necessity for such close contact with Taiyan’s body, giving Nie Kong some peace of mind.

But he hadn't expected that after only a few short days, the headache would return.

"No, I want it like this."

Taiyan wiggled her body, clinging to Nie Kong, acting coquettishly. The twin spheres of mutton-fat jade on her chest undulated tantalizingly, captivating the eye. Nie Kong found it too much to bear and subtly shifted his hips and rear backward, yielding, "Alright, alright, do as you wish, just don't move around erratically."

"Mmm."

Taiyan obediently nodded, holding Nie Kong tightly without moving, like a good baby, but her two bright, dark eyes darted back and forth across Nie Kong’s face.

Although she was still wearing the 'Spirit Rhino Battle Robe,' this level of contact was practically indistinguishable from true intimacy. A ripple of feeling occasionally stirred in Nie Kong's heart. Suddenly, Taiyan’s voice sounded near his ear again, "Brother, listen quickly, are those people next door fighting?"

"Fighting?"

Nie Kong paused, instinctively focusing his hearing, but what entered his ears was a series of delicate moans. A fire immediately flared beneath his abdomen, and he said with a stern face, "Go to sleep. It's immoral to eavesdrop on other people fighting." [Hand-typed and first published on Baidu by Dawn Spirit]

"Oh."

Taiyan nodded seriously, but then a look of confusion crossed her pretty, delicate face. She asked curiously, "But on Dragon Island, Brother, every time you fought with Sister Xuechan and Sister Mei Xian, I heard it too. Is that also immoral?"

Nie Kong couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Taiyan, I said eavesdropping is immoral. You were listening openly, so it wasn't eavesdropping."

Taiyan nodded happily, "Brother, I understand. I won't eavesdrop the next time you fight with the Sisters..."

"That’s a good girl."

Nie Kong nodded in satisfaction, but the next sentence Taiyan spoke nearly made him spit blood, "...I'll just watch openly from right beside you."

"Heavens!"

Nie Kong wailed internally. Only now did he truly understand Qing Yue’s suffering.

Yet, the torment for Nie Kong continued. A look of bewilderment surfaced again on Taiyan’s soft, tender face: "Brother, what does '[Concubines]' mean?"

"Concubines mean…"

Nie Kong fought the urge to smash his head against the wall as he began to explain, but before he could finish, Taiyan seemed to recall something and exclaimed with sudden realization, "Concubines are the women, besides the wife, who are allowed to fight with the husband! Sister Hua Mei is your wife. Sister Xuechan and Sister Mei Xian are not your wives but they fight with you—they are all your concubines! And just now, Mo Ye said I am also your concubine…"

After a slight pause, Taiyan instantly became ecstatic, her beautiful eyes shining like the stars in the night sky, "Does that mean I can fight with Brother too?"

Nie Kong was speechless, "You, you—what kind of logic is that?"

Taiyan quickly pressed, "Brother, am I right?"

"Come—yes... What are you grabbing for?" Nie Kong sucked in a cold breath, glaring at Taiyan somewhat exasperatedly, and shouted.

"There’s something hard poking me, and it’s very uncomfortable."

Taiyan quickly let go, mumbling meekly toward Nie Kong, then instantly broke into a wide smile, "Brother, you admit I’m right! So, can we start fighting now?" As she finished speaking, the girl's face flushed with excitement, and her eyes were full of anticipation.

Nie Kong was dumbfounded, recalling the sentence he had just spoken. Didn't that sound like an admission? If Taiyan's gaze hadn't remained perfectly clear, Nie Kong would have sworn she intentionally made that grab to interrupt his explanation.

"No! Sleep!"

Nie Kong gritted his teeth and spat out those four words, immediately rolling over to present his back to Taiyan.

"If you don't want to fight, then fine! Brother is being grumpy. I just wanted to fight with you like Sister Xuechan. You won't even let me do something that feels so good, and yet you say you cherish me. Hmph!" Taiyan grumbled petulantly, pressing her chest tightly against Nie Kong's back before soon falling into a deep sleep, a sweet smile still lingering at the corner of her lips.
