While Zhu Feng was doing what he felt was right in Obsidian city.

In Yin Meirong's manor Bao Baozhai and Cang Yanmei were saying their goodbye to their benefactor and her butler before going back.

"Like I said before, both of you will face my pinching wrath if you don't visit me often. It gets lonely in here with me and grandpa Song on our own."

Yin Meirong smirked when she saw both Baozhai and Yanmei shudder faintly after hearing her threat, Song Yunru on the other hand acted like an emotionless statue and showed nothing on his complexion yet he smiled helplessly inwardly at his young mistress's kink's.

"Baozhai you're not taking proper care of yourself and have been neglecting your beauty. So what if he's a mountain size idiot with narrow sight? You're such a brave and strong girl, listen to me when that boy Zhu Feng is planning on returning for his sword you go with him. You have to confront the fool at least once before these bent up feelings eat you up from the inside out."

Caressing the cheeks of this stubborn woman, Yin Meirong spoke with care for Bao Baozhai's sake and when the appraisal tried to squirm away with some kind of excuse Meirong firmly pushed on the agitated woman's shoulders to forcefully calm her and said : "This is me giving you my honest advice Baozhai.... You love him more than anything in the world, I've seen how cheerful you were just after exchanging some words with the one handed oaf. Go with the boy, this is final and you can't argue with me on this decision. If you're looking for an excuse then say you're going to appraise the sword he's making for the lad."

Yin Meirong ended by giving Bao Baozhai a tight hug and sent a strand of her gentlest Qi into the visibly older yet actually younger woman secretly.

Then it was Cang Yanmei's turn to get a farewell hug and unlike the appraisal she actually felt the Qi force being sent into her body because she's a grandmaster rank martial artist and poison expert, the gift from her goddess-like benefactor was heart warming and extremely precious.

"Give the boy my thanks and make sure he understands the nature of my gifts, silly girl stop looking at me like that or Ill keep you locked up in here until I'm satisfied."

When Yin Meirong turned to give instructions to Bao Baozhai she found tears welling up in her eyes and threatening to gush out, wiping them away with the back of her hands she took her in her arms and gently patted her back and head soothingly.

Hearing the giggling of both Cang Yanmei and Bao Baozhai made an enchanting smile appear on the younger looking cultivator with snow white hair.

"This pill is for you little Baozhai. You're only allowed to eat it when you're on the way to the stupid blacksmith, if you dare neglect my advice and stubbornly refuse to go despite all I said then come back here and return it to me. And never come back to visit me because I will forever sever ties with those who refuse my good will, you can shrink and shrivel, wrinkle and wither all you want alone and sad."

In the beginning Yin Meirong's tune was gentle and warm then it turned harsh and cold which caused not only Bao Baozhai in her embrace to shiver but also the grandmaster martial artist woman and the butler who's got quite a good record on the rankings of cultivators!

"Sniff... Big sister I... I love him with all my heart but I don't know what to say or do to make him open up to me..... Sniffle...."

Finally while clutching to the petit woman as if she's the final straw towards happiness, the appraisal broke her years of silence and called for assistance.

"Now now, you're such a good girl how could he not see your devotion. Now listen to me closely......"

Cang Yanmei and Song Yunru watched silently as the strange sight of the younger looking woman was teaching the older one how to behave! When Yin Meirong started giving detailed instructions Cang Yanmei who usually was open and somewhat shameless blushed deeply and Song Yunru coughed and ran away from the place to the kitchen where he wouldn't be able to hear this embarrassing conversation.

Bao Baozhai was similarly ashamed but she endured and concentrated on everything trying very hard to memorize what her benefactor said.

****

"Zhu Feng Is it true that you attacked the city guards? What happened? Why did you provoke them? Are you hurt anywh-"

"I'm fine, everything is alright. Calm down Biyu, sit down if you want to know what happened. Getting emotional for your man huh, I'm so proud of you love."

The door of their new home was kicked open by Shadow and Bo Biyu jumped from his back and ran towards Zhu Feng while completely ignoring the startled old lady who works as a servant, as she asked question after question like a machine gun she stretched her hands and tried to remove his clothes to check his body for any wounds.

Seeing how this dummy of a beautiful woman was overreacting and wanting to strip him nacked in their backyard and in front of his servant made Zhu Feng roll his eyes while holding his woman by the shoulders and leading her to a chair while calming her with his words to the best of his abilities, as he threw a joke to lighten the mood Zhu Feng gestured for the old lady to go away.

"I'm being serious you fool, nothing good will come from provoking the city administratio-..... Mmm. Puah.... W- what was that for?"

Glaring at Zhu Feng who kept giving her lewd looks ever since she arrived, Bo Biyu tried calling to him while cupping his cheeks so that he would understand the severity of his actions.

But she was surprised when Zhu Feng stole her lips in an unusually deep kiss from the get go that took her breath away.

"I missed you dummy, that's why. Now calm down and listen to me, please."

Sitting beside her, Zhu Feng spoke with the gentlest tune he can while raising his woman to sit on his lap.

"First I didn't provoke anyone, these guys were bullying grandma Huang and I stood up for little Chen and his family that's all. Second it is all good now because as you know I have the backing of general Lian and I made sure they know that I do, I'm fine really the only thing wounded on me is my pride."

While hugging her waist and burying his head on her chest he summarized the events of today to Bo Biyu, the final line though was said in a much lower tune that it almost got misheard by his woman.

"Huh! Who dares hurt my man's pride? What happened Feng?"

Her ears perked up like a dog detective and Biyu raised Feng's head by the chin to look at her as she asked, when she saw his evasive eyes she asked with a much firmer tune.

"Little Chen....."

Bo Biyu stifled a burst of laughter when she saw Zhu Feng pouting his lips and gritting his teeth after giving this blunt answer, yet she was very curious about knowing what happened.

After all this adorable man of her's just bullied a team of city guards and threw threats at the city lord and his son and got away with it, how could her little brother Chen bully him and get away with it?

"It was nothing, forget about it."

Zhu Feng hugged her tighter and buried his face in her chest, for the first time she witnessed his embarrassed reaction and Biyu saw it as cute and her heart raced in her chest.

"If you tell me Ill let you....."

When she whispered her reward in Zhu Feng's ear she felt his embracing arms tighten some more and Biyu inwardly smirked.

"He.... Chen he beat me consecutively a hundred times early today and never lost a duel once."

Zhu Feng's face was so flushed when he said it, that it made Bo Biyu worry for his sake and she checked his temperature.

But finally she felt her sides hurt from stifling her laughter for so long and she exploded in a fit while hugging Zhu Feng's head to her chest.

"Snort.... Go on laugh, I'm not planning on losing to him forever. Remember Bobo, you promised to compensate me if I told you. Now it is your time to pay up, I'm warning you I ain't going easy on you this time."

"Bfffft......"

Carrying his laughing princess to their sleeping quarters with a bellyful of frustrations Zhu Feng was feeling genuine feelings of peaceful happiness, his loss to Chen wasn't negatively affecting him at all on the contrary he was burning with competitive spirit.

From tomorrow on he is planning on going to spar with Chen and hopefully the embarrassing score will dwindle down from hundred wins to none to zero win to hundred in Feng's favor by the time he's heading back to Sword Villa.

*****

"Biyu you look stunning today, come on tell me your secret. It's as if your skin is glowing these past few days."

"Ehehe aunty is teasing me, have someone send two baskets of these ripe fruits and half that boar to my house. Not the smithy the new one on the miner's street that's the one put it on my tab."

"Uncle I want you to send four pheasants and a couple of these grey lined ducks to the same place like yesterday, usual payment? Awright. Take care of the seeds and spices and the servant will make it worth your while."

"Granny good day, do you have any medicine for bruises and muscle pain? Nothing for ingestion please my husband doesn't like these.... External use only. He said "lotion" do you happen to have any idea what that mean? No! I figured as much, well what do you have? By the way, do you happen to have something to calm down his.... Member. He's going to break me if he keeps at it all night every night."

Seeing the smile on the old lady when she heard her whisper made Bo Biyu very embarrassed but she couldn't maintain this lifestyle anymore on her own.

Zhu Feng was good to her but she couldn't keep up with his sexual need on her own, actually yesterday she was hoping that the time they would go and meet sister Lanfen would be today.

She was feeling sorry for the poor girl who would share this responsibility with her in the future!

"Youth is a blessing my sweet child, embrace it. You just need to learn how to control the rhythm, men are the easiest beasts for us women to tame. Just like us they feel, sometimes they're even more sensitive than us. If he's clinging to you like a suckling baby then you should be the happiest woman in the kingdom, cling back harder and talk. Men are outwardly tough and crude but they're unlike us they tend to keep to themselves and shun the world if their attempts to communicate fails, think back sweet child. Did he try to communicate with you lately? If he did then you should try and solve this before it takes a turn for the worse and cause knots in his chest. Knots distance lovers from one another and separates kin and family alike."

The words from this old woman shocked Biyu to the core, the incidents and memories of her and Zhu Feng kept playing in her head until the time she witnessed his embarrassed reaction.

"Does that effect men when their pride is wounded?"

She found herself muttering this while taking the two vials of the muscle pain medicine from the old lady.

"Pride?" The old lady straightened her bent over spine slightly and gave Biyu a startled look before easing her aching body on the cane on her scrawny hand, rummaging through her stuff for a while she brought a strange charm and handed it to Biyu carefully while saying : "Listen closely child, the behavior of your man means that he treasures you more than the world. They say a treasure is only a treasure in the eyes of the gazer, but even a cursed treasure is still a treasure in the eyes of the accursed. Worry not child I'm just but a senile old woman from strange lands spouting nonsense left and right all day, take these herbs and soak your privates in them if this region hurt in the mornings. This charm once belonged to my family and did good protecting me in my travels from demon, ghost, beast and human alike."

"Granny I can't."

Bo Biyu felt her head swimming in the ocean of dizziness after hearing the old lady's words and worry for her Feng's started to sprout in her chest, she let go of the two vials and they fell on top of some powder that this old lady is selling.

She was trying to politely refuse while getting a grip on herself when she felt like she's going to faint.

"Grrrrrr....."

"Ah! Spirit of my spirit......"

Last thing Bo Biyu was able to hear before darkness took over was the voice of Storm growling and the strange words from the strange old lady who sold medicine in the nearby market.

*****

"Biyu! Please please answer me. Fucking do something you sons of bitches."

"Little Feng calm down please and let them do their work."

"Woof..... Awooo..... Whine...."

Bo Biyu felt her surrounding again after the stale darkness scattered from her consciousness, first thing she heard was Zhu Feng's voice growling at some people with a tune dripping with plead for someone to save her.

Then the voice of her master calling him to calm then the darkness took over again.

Again she woke up to hear the voices of the new friends she made before falling again into the dark abyss.

"Biyu..... I'm sorry..... Sniff.... Today they delivered our son from you..... He's such a cute boy..... Like you told me before he has none of my blain traits and all of your amazing features, once again you were right.... Auntie Baozhai is waiting for you, our son Fang is waiting for you, I am waiting for you."

The sound of Zhu Feng entered her ear and Bo Biyu could touch the sadness and grief in his voice.

𝘚𝘰𝘯? 𝘍𝘢𝘯𝘨!

𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘶𝘱, 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘐 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳?

No matter what she did, Bo Biyu couldn't open her eyes.

Then she felt the warm touch of Zhu Feng holding her hand and she squeezed his hand as if it was her last lifeline.

"Eh!.... Biyu c... can you hear me? Ah! Wait for me love Ill bring the healers to check on you......"

*****

Going back in time nine months minus a week or two.

Zhu Feng was still struggling with little Chen seeking to gain his first win over the brat.

The past few days were his happiest days ever.

In the mornings he would improve his technique and physical strength by training alone in his backyard before going to try and settle the score with the cocky and frustratingly handsome Chen, while trying to ignore the threats of the constantly growing fanatic Chen-maniacs occupying all the tables of the restaurant and intentionally making Feng's every mornings a worse nightmare than the previous.

After doing his best to win and still losing, Zhu Feng would clench his jaw and endure the leering jeers from the numerous girls and women on the way back home to unite with his angel Biyu.

Cooking for her and pampering her was his source of release beside their daily union at night, add to that how the "Kids" were starting to accept him again after his flame toxins faded and Zhu Feng was barely balancing the negativity and positivity of each day.

Of course he knew that he was venting a bit too much on Bo Biyu each night, but he really loved her as a person and would squeeze his brain every day to remember fun stories and come up with entertaining games from his home earth to make it up for her.

Until that day when she went to work like usual and returned unconscious and being carried back by storm who had blood dripping out of her snout.

Zhu Feng felt a wrenching pain in his stomach and the world threatened to spin beneath him, hurrying towards his beloved on two shaky legs he can't remember how he reached the Steel Anvil Smithy holding her in his arms but he remembers how cold he felt inside all that day.

Finally he felt estranged from this world he adapted a bit too fast to this strange life devoid of technology and comfort, his old trait of shaking hands and feet returned.

Even when Bao Baozhai returned shortly afterwards and tried to communicate with him he never answered, until his outburst at the useless physicians, healers, doctors, alchemists, apothecaries, or whatever the fuck they're called in this world.

Finally those who were nearby the stall of the old witch who got torn up by Storm's canines delivered to Zhu Feng's and Bao Baozhai's ears two days after everyone failed to awaken the unconscious Biyu.

Biyu was buying the necessary things for Shadow, Storm and her pups like usual along with the supplies for their house.

The person in the next store reported to the city guards that he heard Biyu asking for the medicine for bruises and that's it.

Zhu Feng had to "Fairly" train with little Chen after he figured out that this black underwear was actually a super quality armor.

Getting hit was a bitch, especially from this handsome little devil who intentionally struck where it hurts with the intention of leaving a bruise that would hinder Zhu Feng's movement in the sparring session next day!

He was that venomous alright.

Tendons, joints, ligaments you name it.

As long as it would make Zhu Feng suffer and stumble then little Chen would go for that weakness.

And because she saw his bruises accumulating every day Biyu went to look for the kind of medicine that would be applicable externally like he preferred, and that dam witch caused her to fall unconscious and he's helpless and can't do anything about it.

Winter was always his best time of the year, Zhu Feng always wished for a small cabin in the middle of a forest covered in snow everywhere.

Yet ice and snow did nothing in cheering him up as the months went by.

General Lian Laoci arrived with his entourage to Obsidian city a few days after Biyu's incident and the reformation left the city wondering just what this general Lian is made of? He transferred both the city lord and his lackeys to the capital and the Steel Anvil Smithy was declared off limits to non military personnel.

Why the sudden shift? Nobody knows.

"Once again little Feng you gave me another surprise and dept that I don't think I'll be able to repay in this life, the material you call ZhuQing is the weapon that will enable me to avenge my son Tushi. Remember that this world is unfair to the weak, only the strong few can shield their loved ones from the whims of the mad."

When the general visited Zhu Feng's house he had just finished his morning training and was calming his mind before heading towards auntie Huang's restaurant to spar with Chen, life was bland and tasteless after Biyu fell in a coma and Feng was turning cold and gloomy to those who got near him by the day.

"Sigh.... Know that I still believe in you Feng we all are. You're a strong lad I'm sure you'll overcome this tribulation soon, the physician told me that your woman is with a child and the baby is sure to be delivered safely and healthy without any danger coming to your woman. Tushi.... My first and dearest son to my heart was born in circumstances a lot similar to yours, that time I was a commander of a smaller army and struggling to stop the encroachment of the white dogs of the Bai empire upon our territories. Worry for my close friends and family, my home and heritage were eating away at my soul every day. Each day I suffered from lack of sleep and concentration, I kept falling in my enemies traps one after another and each time I lost good men. Do you want to know what helped me overcome this tough position I found myself in?"

Somehow Feng was growing bored of the conversation with the general because it felt unrelated to his situation in anyway, but when he gave that last question Feng was curious about the cure.

Because that same feeling of maggots eating away his soul was inside Feng's chest at that time and it was irritating because it wouldn't go away.

"My son held my finger, just born in this world completely ignorant of everything besides breast milk. Yet when he held my finger I knew what I had to do, I had to pave the way for him. Your woman would agree with me right now if she was here, do pay me a visit in Rock city soon. Oh! And don't forget to bring me my godson or daughter when you do."

As the general left Zhu Feng was feeling mental earthquakes occur in his head, the matter of Biyu being pregnant was mentioned to him before but his complete attention was on her safety alone.

Yet after this short conversation he started to take her wishes in consideration for the first time, what would Bo Biyu want if she was here?

She would want him to be happy, she would want him and their baby to be safe and healthy.

That day Zhu Feng started to change for the better in the eyes of little Chen and his family, even the fan base surrounding the restaurant received the middle finger from Zhu Feng that day when they mocked his failure!

Bao Baozhai visited Zhu Feng's house and tired to hand him the gifts from Yin Meirong and delivered the gratitude of that cultivator, yet he didn't receive them and she didn't insist that he do.

"Big sister Meirong is my benefactor, your robe not only helped me save someone precious to me but also it helped her grow stronger. Little Feng.... I was warned by big sister many times to keep the secret of this robe hidden or you'll be visited by scary individuals or sects of cultivators in a heartbeat, this bottle has a pill from big sister as a token of appreciation and gratitude. And these boots as well, if you're thinking about going back to Sword Villa after winter is over then I'm coming with you."

"Thanks auntie Baozhai, do you want to keep Biyu company for a while?"

Blunt and cold answer yet shaded with a touch of gratitude was what Bao Baozhai got from the clinched jaws of Zhu Feng, nodding in sorrow she stayed with her goddaughter for a few hours then left.

Zhu Feng spent his days numbed mostly, he never experienced deep emotional attachments to anyone before.

He was used to being treated roughly all his life, that's why when he got in this world he wasn't feeling uncomfort when he got whipped.

However, all that changed when his days were spent in the soft embrace of his woman drowned in love and passion.

Zhu Feng felt a purpose for his life, to protect and to give this Biyu his care.

It was warm and felt good, it felt like the right thing to do.

"Sigh...."

"Woof...."

Sighing to scatter these chaotic thoughts which endangered to suffocate him, Feng was startled by the sneak attack that Joy just perfectly executed.

If his calculations are on point then these mutts just turned three months old, he didn't neglect them and their food portions kept growing larger the bigger they grew.

And these five monsters didn't disappoint him, devouring meat and training together all day is what they do.

Even Harmony joined the fun but kept himself clean and tidy somehow all the time, unlike thunder who preferred to keep dirty fur.

Their mother started to show changes in behavior a few days ago and Zhu Feng noticed that she was in heat, honestly he felt like it was the worst time ever especially since he's extremely stressed lately.

Knowing that she'll be irritable and might bite innocent people if that wasn't attended for, Zhu Feng asked if there was hunters in Obsidian city who caught grown-up male wolves lately and the only two wolves were beaten half to death by this she-wolf when the cage door was locked.

Zhu Feng smiled helplessly when he saw the smirk and look of ridicule on Storm's face after she emerged in triumph yet still in heat!

"The fuck you mother of lycans, if you don't like the couple of dicks these two mutts has then go wild in the wild. Son of....."

With that out of his system Zhu Feng took Storm to the city gates and let her go find her preferred partner, the captain on the gates personally told him that his wolf would be allowed inside the city once it returns and that the local hunters will be warned not to provoke it.

A few days later Feng knew that winter was officially over and the ice blocking the mountain passes of the shortest road south "rocky maze" was melting.

He prepared to leave with Shadow and the "kids" ahead of Storm since she didn't return yet.

The Steel Anvil Smithy's manager Yun sent Feng two thousand gold coins a few days ago and that was merely the first payment, apparently general Lian Laoci chased away the city lord and his officials after news of the new ZhuQing material was sent to him by manager Yun.

After getting the approval from the King himself, Obsidian city was declared to be under the personal supervision of the heroic general since the situation is "Sensitive" when war is going on between the two neighboring countries, Hai kingdom and Yan kingdom.

Of course all that was a facade and the true aim was to guard the secret until their armies are well equipped and the raw material is depleted from the neighboring markets, if the secret is out afterwards then no one will find the materials to make protective gear from the ZhuQing material.

And if they do they wouldn't know how to make it in the first place.

Buying the most comfortable carriage and finest warhorses to pull it, Zhu Feng placed Bo Biyu inside personally as feelings of guilt overcame him again when her stomach that started to bulge lately came into his sight.

The four wolves were silent around Biyu as always, ever since Biyu fell in a coma and they behaved like mutes near her.

They adored this beauty like a second mother since she always gave them treats and warmth of the hug.

Feng swung by the Steel Anvil Smithy and took Bao Baozhai into the carriage, she'll be riding with Biyu while Zhu Feng will be riding Shadow who grew into a finer steed.

Night was the mightiest outwardly of the four wolves but each of them has his quality and they never had cases of infighting, Thunder was the most sensitive to intruders, Joy was the source of energy in the group, Harmony was the link that brought them tighter in a bond that would make these four dare face a tiger together, while Night was the source of courage ever fearless and strong.

One of the four warhorses pulling the carriage of Biyu was a white mare chosen by shadow himself, he seems to remember the day Feng promised to get him a partner after he kicked the bandit leader Bone Crusher or Xin Qiqiang.

"Leaving without farewells huh! You know that's cold. right? Even from a block of ice such as you. But I guess all these losses would make even the coldest iceberg ashamed of facing someone as great as me, I just hope when you return you wouldn't suck very bad like you did previously and waste my precious time. Grandma Huang says take care of big sister Biyu and above all yourself and do visit with sister when she recovers, honestly I don't know what part of your blain traits grew to her fondness lately. I guess she feels sorry for broken things, she always do when she breaks one of her plates. Kakakaka I'll be missing your ugly mug a tiny little bit."

"Night go bite his butt."

"Fuck you shit for Feng."

At the city gates here he was leaning lazily on the outer walls with a select few of the finest Chen-maniacs around him feeding him crackers and sipping from cold juice like a prince, Chen delivered his message lazily then cackled like demon.

Zhu Feng didn't want to see him because this asshole had a smirk that would pierce deep inside his numb guard and make Feng wish if he just can whack him one full force.

As their sparring continued without the protection of his ZhuQing material, Zhu Feng knew that he can win some of his duels if he wanted yet he took the beatings from this arrogant ass as a way of punishment for himself for failing to protect Biyu.

Yet this smart-ass never noticed that Zhu Feng was intentionally taking the beating, in fact right now Zhu Feng was ninty-nine percent sure that he can win a hundred times in a streak against Chen if he wanted.

𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘉𝘪𝘺𝘶 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴.

Shaking his head, Zhu Feng's eyelid twitched when Chen's laughter rang in his ear and he commanded Night to vent some of the bent up frustrations instead.

Chen cruelly dumped his fan-girls and ran after giving Feng the middle finger, he knew that these extremely loyal wolves were very obedient and scarily intelligent.

That's why he didn't hesitate to run inside the gates and find somewhere Night wouldn't be able to reach him.
