I don't know why, but the number of recommendation votes is so low. Compared to other books on the list, our member clicks are not lower, but the recommendation votes are only one-fourth or one-fifth of theirs... It's such a pitiful number. Recommendation votes are very important for new books, so Xiao Mo hopes that friends who read the book can cast a few votes. It's just a couple of clicks with the mouse.

Hu Meier didn't dare to respond. The more you talk, the more you might slip up, and she was afraid of angering Yang Kai.
"Come over here!" Yang Kai suddenly waved her over. Hu Meier's delicate body trembled, tears welling up in her eyes, and she bit her lip, looking at Yang Kai with a pleading gaze, but she didn't dare to move a step.
"What are you afraid of? If I tell you to come, you come!" Yang Kai was somewhat impatient.
With no choice, Hu Meier could only walk over to Yang Kai, slowly stopping five steps away from him, looking at him with some fear.
Noticing her fear, Yang Kai found it amusing but still maintained a stern face, saying, "If you listen to me, I won't touch you."
His calm tone carried an air of irresistible dominance.
Hu Meier nodded vigorously, "I will listen."
"Good." Yang Kai was satisfied, bent down, and hoisted Nu Tao's corpse onto his shoulder. He gestured to the corpse of Cheng Shaofeng, "Bring him along!"
Although it was disgusting, Hu Meier didn't dare to disobey. She squatted down and carried Cheng Shaofeng's corpse on her back. Though she was a young girl, she was a martial artist, and carrying a hundred pounds or so wasn't much of a burden for her.
"Follow me." Yang Kai glanced at the direction and then headed deeper into the Black Wind Forest.
Hu Meier didn't know what he was going to do, but she didn't dare to ask. She just followed closely behind.
Yang Kai was going to dispose of the bodies. Although the place where they had been was already deep in the forest, there was no guarantee that some lovers wouldn't have a sudden urge to meet there. If someone saw them, it would be a troublesome matter. Although the probability was small, it couldn't be ignored.
The cause of Cheng Shaofeng and Nu Tao's deaths was very special; both were pierced through vital points by scorching yuan force. If the Wind and Rain Pavilion traced this clue, they might end up investigating Yang Kai.
So Yang Kai had to dispose of the bodies far away, ensuring that the people from the Wind and Rain Pavilion would never find them.
The two walked deeper into the dense forest, with Hu Meier several times wanting to speak but holding back.
After more than an hour, a lake suddenly appeared before them. Yang Kai's eyes lit up. This was the place.
He instructed Hu Meier to put down the bodies. Yang Kai then found two large stones, brought them back, and tied them to the corpses of Cheng Shaofeng and Nu Tao, sinking them to the bottom of the lake.
Clapping his hands, Yang Kai pondered for a moment and said, "Now you are also my accomplice. You should know what to do, right?"
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at her calmly.
Hearing this, Hu Meier was not surprised but rather relieved, nodding repeatedly, "I know."
Yang Kai's words meant that he wouldn't harm her, and her life was safe. Hu Meier felt a great sense of relief and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Smart, smart girls will always be liked by someone." Yang Kai chuckled.
To be honest, Yang Kai didn't know what to do with Hu Meier before this. If he didn't kill her, she would be a隐患 (hidden danger). She had seen everything that happened today. If he did kill her, Yang Kai found it hard to bring himself to do it. Hu Meier hadn't harmed him at all; she had just stood by and watched. Was it too unreasonable to kill her for that reason?
After walking for so long, Yang Kai had thought it through. This incident was initiated by Cheng Shaofeng and Nu Tao. If he didn't kill them, would he just sit and wait to die? So even if Hu Meier revealed everything, Yang Kai wasn't afraid at all.
"Have you killed many people?" Hu Meier, feeling much bolder, asked Yang Kai.
Yang Kai shook his head, "This is my first time."
"But I saw your technique as very skilled. You didn't even flinch when you killed them. It doesn't seem like your first time." Hu Meier was puzzled.
Hearing this, Yang Kai furrowed his brow. Yes, it was his first time killing, so why wasn't he afraid at all? He didn't feel excited, but he definitely didn't feel scared. At the time, he was only focused on the fight, with the thought of killing them in his mind. Now, thinking back, it seemed quite unbelievable.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Yang Kai didn't explain further.
They walked around the lake for half a circle, stopping at a place far from where they had disposed of the bodies. Yang Kai then dove into the lake. He had many injuries from the battle and needed to wash up before returning.
Hu Meier stood by the lake, waiting. She also wanted to go in, but she didn't have the courage to do so, unlike an hour ago when she would have teased Yang Kai.
After Yang Kai finished washing and came up, Hu Meier said, "Wait for me a moment; I need to wash up too." She had carried a corpse for a long distance and felt very uncomfortable.
Women always love to be clean.
"Okay." Yang Kai wrung out his clothes and lay on a stone by the lake, basking in the sun to recover his strength.
Hu Meier didn't dare to take off her clothes and just jumped into the lake. Her graceful body swam like a fish in the water. Occasionally, she would sneak a glance at Yang Kai, but he didn't even open his eyes, which made Hu Meier feel quite disappointed.
Doesn't he feel anything at all?
After a while, Hu Meier finally finished washing and came to the shore. Her wet clothes clung to her body, revealing her curvaceous figure. She came to Yang Kai's side without any hesitation, her face flushed, and sat on the stone, basking in the sun.
Yang Kai opened his eyes and looked her over, scanning her from head to toe. Hu Meier lowered her head.
"Your figure is quite good," Yang Kai nodded slightly.
Hu Meier bit her red, thin lips and said with a strained expression, "Actually... I have never done that with a man. Even those who have touched my body... are only you. In the past few years, I did those things to attract more talents for the gang and to create conflicts between the Lingxiao Pavilion and the Wind and Rain Pavilion disciples. My纠缠 (entanglement) with you was also for this purpose."
Yang Kai was taken aback and looked at her deeply.
"You don't believe me?" Hu Meier's face turned red. This secret was something she had never told anyone. People outside thought she was a woman of the night, but in reality, she was called a princess or miss in public and a slut or bitch in private.
"I believe you!" Yang Kai nodded, "But what does it have to do with me?"
Hu Meier's expression darkened, and she smiled bitterly, "I won't entangle you anymore."
This incident had a significant impact on her.
Hearing this, Yang Kai felt a great sense of relief. He was finally free from this trouble.
After Hu Meier's clothes dried, the two left the lake.
To avoid drawing attention, Yang Kai and Hu Meier parted ways early, each returning to their respective sects.
After resting for a while in the wooden house, Yang Kai got up and went to the Dragon Trapping Gorge. This major battle had drained all his recent hard training, so he needed to quickly replenish his true yang yuan force. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to handle similar situations next time.
Moreover, he had used the yang liquid twice today, and the power it demonstrated was very exciting. He never expected the yang liquid to be so powerful. He was only at the eighth level of the Body Tempering Realm. If his realm were higher, wouldn't the power of the yang liquid be even greater? Regardless of the reason, Yang Kai now had an urgent desire to train.
