Chapter Nine, The Unparalleled Beauty

Haha ... ...

Dugu Baitian fiercely pinched his own thigh, coming back to his senses. Looking again at the people beside him—standard lecherous men, each one as if under a spell, staring blankly. Even the Situ brothers had their eyes gleaming with desire, and the two ugly young masters were even worse, nearly drooling.

Although our family is currently in decline, it once had a glorious history

Situ Aoyue also said: "Indeed, even from such a distance, we can sense that murderous aura, indicating that those individuals have likely killed many. They may be the assassins nurtured by certain families, specifically trained for murder"

I am disgusted

"Wait a moment," Li Shi spoke again, "Could the two young gentlemen do me a favor and refrain from taking action? I have something to discuss with this Young Master Dugu."

The irascible Situ Haoyue exclaimed: "I will steam you, boil you alive, and stew you raw, damn it, you are truly courting death"

Oh, isn't the Dugu family considered a prominent family in the town?

The two ugly creatures immediately changed their expressions, beaming with joy: "Miss Li, why are you being so polite with us? Did you not hear Miss Li's orders? Why are you not retreating?"

The mouse spirit said ominously: "The country bumpkin really has never seen the world, he doesn't even know how to pursue a girl, just babbling nonsense."

Dugu Baitian can now be one hundred percent certain: Li Shi has come specifically for the Dugu family

The tall young man said coldly: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Is the Young Master Dugu from the town ahead

Dugu Haoyue and Dugu Aoyue secretly cursed: "Dugu Baitian, you are such a big fool, I XXX. Wasn't it just that I accidentally 'greeted' your backside with two kicks during the fight? Damn it, just wait and see." They wanted to explode with anger but held it back.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Baitian realized that this was not a place for idle chatter. Both groups and the scholars did not appear to be good people, especially the two young leaders who exuded a sinister aura; it was clear they were not to be trifled with. He felt an impulse to beat them up. However, aside from the three brothers of the Situ family, the rest of his side consisted of a rabble. How could they possibly compete with the other side?

Dugu Baitian said: "You guys clearly want to go see beautiful women, yet you still come up with such lame excuses. However, don't even think about it. Those people are definitely true experts, and we cannot afford to provoke them"

Under the gaze of a deadly stare, Dugu Baitian walked out of the crowd alongside Li Shi. He was unaware of what Li Shi wished to discuss with him, yet he felt an overwhelming excitement within, as if the harm inflicted upon him by Situ Mingyue had completely healed in an instant

Of course, it is my honor

There has never been an emperor who ruled over the common people, yet there has been an emperor of the martial world. It is unknown from which era, but an ancestor once swept through the martial world, looking down upon the realm, defeating all the heroes of the world, and standing supreme in the martial arts, admired by the masses. Dugu Baitian expressed heartfelt admiration for his ancestor Dugu Zhantian, who had always been a celestial figure in his eyes, an existence that transcended the divine. His tone inevitably carried a hint of excitement as he spoke. Dugu Zhantian had always been a celestial figure in his eyes, an existence that transcended the divine.

After listening to Li Shi, a look of joy involuntarily appeared on her face. Dugu Baitian happened to catch a glimpse of this and couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious: Is she here for our family? Impossible, who in the martial world still remembers the Dugu family? The Dugu family has long become a term in the history of the martial arts community. Does she want to marry me just because I look handsome? Although I wish that were true, I must admit that it is even more of a fantasy; I am not so arrogant and narcissistic yet. In comparison, the former possibility seems more likely. Those two ugly creatures are so polite to her with so many people around, she must have a significant background. Although I wish that were true, I must admit that it is even more of a fantasy; I am not so arrogant and narcissistic yet. In comparison, the former possibility seems more likely. Those two ugly creatures are so polite to her with so many people around, she must have a significant background. Such a stunning beauty, coupled with an air of mystery, coming to this small town just for a declining martial arts family? ... Could those two ugly creatures also be ...

Du Gu Bai Tian was also momentarily bewildered, secretly thinking: How can there be such a beautiful woman in the world? With a single glance, she captivates a city; with another glance, she captivates a nation. No wonder those two ugly creatures are fighting to the death; if one could marry such a stunning beauty, life would be without regrets. Look at the two of you, with your demeanor; if you were to win the beauty's hand, where would justice be? A toad dreaming of eating swan meat—what a fantasy! If anyone is to eat, it should be me. Suddenly, another charming face appeared in his mind—Si Tu Ming Yue, causing a pang of pain in his heart.

After listening to Du Gu Bai Tian, he originally intended to make a joke to get closer to these people, but he did not expect them to be so insatiable. The Situ brothers are not just anyone; they are the sons of Situ Jing Yun, the current head of the Situ family. How could they tolerate such an insult

The young lady is truly like a fairy as described in legends, graceful and extraordinary, with a subtle and elegant fragrance. May I ask for your esteemed surname and given name?

The past is like smoke; those are the achievements of our ancestors, while the descendants are incompetent!" Dugu Baitian could not help but exclaim

However, these individuals had not taken more than a dozen steps when they heard a sound slicing through the air from behind. Those people had discovered them and chased after them, surrounding them completely.

The thug is in a state of extreme depression

At that moment, a voice like celestial music resounded, "Everyone, please calm your anger for the time being"

Thank you, gentlemen. Could we have a private conversation, Young Master Dugu?

I am Situ Haoyue, twenty-one years of age, unmarried, of noble character, and have ... ... '' (interrupted by someone).

The beautiful woman could not help but smile, and everyone was once again left in a daze. After a considerable amount of time, they finally came to their senses, glaring at Dugu Baitian, including the three brothers of the Situ family. The two ugly young men even spoke in unison: "You bold and reckless young man, do not act without reason."

Situ Aoyue also said: "You are truly seeking death"

... ... ... ... ... ...

These individuals are divided into two factions, one clad in black and the other in gray. They share a common characteristic with the books, which is that each person exudes a chilling aura of murderous intent. Their gazes are cold, their expressions devoid of emotion, clearly indicating that they are cold-blooded individuals

Li Shi slowly advanced deeper into the woods, her enchanting figure and captivating fragrance intoxicating those around her and stirring boundless thoughts. This caused a wave of confusion and infatuation among the people behind her. The two of them distanced themselves from the crowd and only stopped after entering the depths of the forest.

Time seemed to stand still, both sides stared wide-eyed, with only the sound of heavy breathing.

Li Shi, may I inquire about your esteemed name, young master

Alas, if we are to speak of pity, those two pig-headed demons over there are the most pitiable. Abandoned at birth in the forest, they were raised by a wild boar. It was not until they were in their teens that they were discovered by an old hunter from the town, allowing them to end their inhuman life of running around the forest on all fours. In fact, the main reason we have come to this forest is to accompany these two pig-headed demons to visit the old sow that raised them to adulthood

I am Situ Aoyue, twenty years old, unmarried, devoted in love, and compassionate... (interrupted by someone)

Having made up his mind, Dugu Baitian decided to test the waters

Where could I be from, I am merely a country boy, how could I dare to claim descent from a prestigious family

The last arrivals were two young men. One was tall, but his appearance was truly unflattering. If one had to describe him, four words would suffice: "thief's brows and rat's eyes," resembling a rat spirit. The other had an average appearance, but his figure was bulky, resembling a short winter melon. The crowd stifled their laughter, as this pair of clowns attempted to act cool and put on airs while vying for women. No wonder the girl with the surname Li did not go to either of them. However, judging by the looks of these two, the girl they were pursuing could not have been very attractive either, though she was not seen.

Oh, has there ever been an emperor? However, I have not heard of any dynasty that had the compound surname Dugu. Although Li Shi tried her best to conceal it, Dugu Baitian could still sense from her expression that her heart was extremely excited.

The young master possesses extraordinary demeanor; he must surely come from a prestigious family.

Indeed, it is aimed at the Dugu family

The imposing presence of the two brothers startled these individuals

"Damn it, where did this wild brat come from, daring to speak to my young master like that? Seeking death." A man in black said as he charged towards the thug.

Dugu Baitian inwardly cursed: "Damn, I never expected I would say such disgusting words"

Even the shy Situ Minyue has been saying "I" for quite some time, but has not finished, always being interrupted by others

"None of your business." This time, the rascals were in perfect harmony, speaking in unison, and then burst into laughter.

Du Gu Bai Tian could not help but be astonished; the power of the beauty was truly extraordinary! What surprised him even more was that his group of brothers began to follow his example.

Li Shi could not help but feel a sense of longing, but soon regained composure and revealed a genuine smile from within. "In the history of the continent, those who have reached the realm of 'Martial Sage' are few and far between. It turns out you are a descendant of 'Martial Sage' Dugu Zhantian. I am truly honored, truly honored."

The decline of the Dugu family is so pronounced, what else is there that is worthy of the attention of those in the martial arts world

I am Liu Zhiqiang, twenty years old, unmarried, skilled in martial arts, and I wash my feet every day... (interrupted by someone)

I am Dugu Baitian, nineteen years of age, and unmarried

Boom

Dugu Baitian was left speechless, wondering what these kids were thinking, as there was no creativity whatsoever. It would be one thing if they were just learning from themselves, but to mention concepts like "sense of responsibility" and "love" is one thing, yet they even flaunt "washing feet every day." Alas, what a disgrace; Dugu Baitian wished he could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

A young woman, dressed in flowing white, approaches gracefully, her eyes like autumn waters and her bones like jade, resembling a celestial fairy descending from the heavens. Her unparalleled beauty is dreamlike and ethereal, rendering all the beauty in the world pale in comparison to her enchanting visage.

Subsequently, Li Shi engaged in some very ordinary topics of conversation with Du Gu Ta. Du Gu Bai Tian felt a secret shock in his heart; this woman, as beautiful as a celestial being, was not only intelligent but also particularly cautious and careful, asking questions and probing for information without leaving a trace. He also felt a sense of pride, thinking that such a clever and stunning beauty had her secrets uncovered by him. What would the scene be like if she were to find out? Lost in thought, he couldn't help but chuckle foolishly. He felt a sense of pride, thinking that such a clever and stunning beauty had her secrets uncovered by him.

Hehe, in the entire town, our family is the only one with the surname Dugu; how can we be considered a prominent clan

Aidiangua said: "Pig-headed monster, you have lived with wild boars for over ten years, you must be able to speak pig language. Say a few words for everyone to hear."

The group deliberated and decided to take a detour back.

The dwarf melon said: "Have you grown tired of living by so offensively provoking Fairy Li?"

to

Everyone laughs

Dugu Baitian calmed his agitated heart for a moment before daring to face the young lady with the surname Li once again

I am Li Hu, twenty years old, unmarried, responsible, and ambitious...

... ... ... ... ... ...

Dugu Baitian knows that today cannot end peacefully

Situ Haoyue also wore a grave expression and said, "The strength of those individuals may be comparable to ours, but the murderous aura they exude is terrifyingly strong"

Upon hearing this, the other party burst into laughter, while the ruffian on this side also chuckled quietly to himself

Dugu Baitian quickly stopped him and said: "This elder brother, please hold on before taking action. My brother here grew up eating paste, and his mind is not very sharp. He doesn't speak well, and we all call him Er Sha. You gentlemen are all handsome and talented, and it's clear that you are people of great ambition. Why bother to argue with a fool like him"

The faces of the "Mouse Spirit" and the "Short Winter Melon" were truly unable to hold their composure, filled with rage and humiliation: "Someone, kill them for me." The burly men on either side promptly drew their swords and knives.

Miss Li was quite surprised and somewhat admiring to see that Dugu Baitian was so calm, with clear eyes and no trace of malice whatsoever

... ... ... ... ... ...

Among the ruffians, someone remarked: "What business is it of yours? Do we need to inform you of what we are doing?"

... ... ... ... ... ...
