Chapter 4, The Mandarin Duck Bed

Su Hua let out a sound of "oh," realizing that she looked down on her actions. With a cold laugh, she said, "That is because you have not encountered someone you truly want to kill, yet cannot kill. When that day comes, you will naturally understand what I am saying today. If you don't believe it, let's wait and see."

Wandering throughout the night, cold and lonely, she softly sobbed, her voice filled with a sense of despair. Finally, utterly exhausted, she curled up under the patch of light, and in her dreams, she saw the wolf mother standing just outside the forest. Yet no matter how she ran, she could not get closer to it. Ultimately, she was worn out, her limbs twitching, tears streaming down her face

The so-called recognition of ancestry by Lan Zhan is merely a matter of allowing her to adopt the surname Yue. There are so many people with the surname Yue in the world; who can definitively claim that she is a descendant of the Changyuan Yue family? Even if one day it raises suspicions among other sects, the incompetent fear becoming the target of public criticism. The Boyue Pavilion possesses an ancient and formidable power, and the existence of Yue Yier will only aid him in commanding the heroes of the world. At that time, he too can ascend to the throne of the emperors and savor the taste of being the leader of the martial arts world.

Su Hua then shifted her gaze to the small child, scrutinizing her carefully. The child was dressed in tattered clothes, resembling a beggar. However, her features were surprisingly beautiful, especially her pair of eyes, deep and serene like a turquoise pool. Additionally, her skin was as white as snow, and her lips had a plump contour reminiscent of flower petals. If she were to be nurtured properly in the future, she would undoubtedly possess an extraordinary charm.

He is ambitious, needs women, yet does not love them. Su Hua taught her to dance gracefully under the pear tree, her bare snowy arms and slender waist twisting like a serpent. While dancing, she said, "Some men you can approach, but you cannot enter their hearts. However, for us, this is already enough. Within three feet is our domain; the closer you get, the greater your chances of success. You must remember, when dealing with men, do not focus solely on how to kill him; you must learn to enjoy it. If he is happy, you will be happy too. Within three feet is our domain; the closer you get, the greater your chances of success. You must remember, when dealing with men, do not focus solely on how to kill him; you must learn to enjoy it. Only a sudden urge to kill can catch someone off guard. Before you kill him, you should even make yourself feel as if you have fallen in love with him... I teach you this, which goes against the Lord's orders, but who cares? If he only wants to forge you into a sharp blade, he should have sent you into the gates of life and death from the beginning.

Yar raised his eyes, "What kind of man is the master? What type of woman does he like?"

She sniffed the camellia by her temple, often with a sarcastic twist at the corner of her mouth, but at this moment, it was lifted as she said, "Thank you for your assistance, beautiful lady"

Regarding martial warfare, it cannot defeat her; what confuses her the most is the phrase "a soldier does not shed blood" as mentioned by Su Hua. The Wave Moon Pavilion has always served the people of the martial world; as long as the payment is sufficient, it can fulfill all the requests of the client. Sometimes, transactions that cannot be resolved purely by force require the involvement of the Weak Water Sect. The most dangerous thing in this world is the femme fatale; she approaches you by all means, and her fragility serves as the best disguise. Once you let your guard down, in the next moment, her knife will cut through your throat.

This tactic of feigned rejection is not in vain. When the gambling session paused at the fourth watch, as Su Hua stepped out of the Wucao Liubo Pavilion, that deputy leader was still waiting for her at the street corner. Subsequently, it was only natural that he entered Su Hua's mandarin duck tent

The enchanting beauty was suddenly enraged and struck her zhongwan point. The child immediately fell to the ground, and only then did she have the time to pay attention to the coarse, sandpaper-like sensation at her fingertips

However, the immediate priority is how to educate this child. She grew up in a wolf pack, where the rules of the pack are different from those of the human world, but there is one commonality: obedience. He led her into the Weak Water Gate and entrusted her to Su Hua, saying, "Teach her well; I want her to be as graceful as a willow and to possess a heart armed with sharp tools. She does not need to have an abundance of emotions, but she must understand obedience"

With Su's skills, once in close proximity, there was no need to beat around the bush. However, she tolerated the deputy leader's frivolity towards her, slowing down her movements to demonstrate in a model-like manner for those on the beam.

She is very intelligent, naturally gifted in martial arts, a trait that may be attributed to her lineage from a family of martial artists and a certain inscrutable power within her. At the age of thirteen, she fought against the Four Stars of Ruoshui Gate, which at that time included Bi Yuewu, Xin Yuehu, Wei Yueyan, and Zhang Yuelu, all present. Only by killing one of them could she take their place and remain in Ruoshui Gate. In the end, during that fierce battle, she rose to fame, with Bi Yuewu, the top-ranked among the Four Stars, falling under her sword, and she effortlessly became the leader of the Four Stars of Ruoshui Gate.

Su Hua, as the leader of the sect, fulfills his duties with dedication through both words and actions

Su Hua later became her master, though it is not entirely accurate to call her a master; more precisely, she was a manager. Her skills, tactics, and strategies were taught by the top experts in the Bo Yue Pavilion, and even when Lan Zhan was in a good mood, she would personally teach her the tricks to defeat the enemy

Did the master not feel disgusted when he touched you

I will never sell my appearance to complete a task. The stubborn child speaks with certainty in the face of the unpredictable variables of the future

After washing, it took three buckets of water to clean thoroughly. The maidservants were busy dressing her in new clothes and tying up her hair. Su Hua stood by with her arms crossed, as the child still lacked energy from the earlier blow. Although her hands and feet were obedient, her eyes were filled with a fierce killing intent. Su Hua did not take it to heart; she merely felt that this body was indeed worthy of entering the Weak Water Gate, yet this bravery also caused a headache.

Gambling is often a losing game, but today luck was quite favorable, as I won four consecutive rounds. The deputy leader of the casino was in high spirits, laughing boisterously. Once the gambling session concluded, he seized the croupier who had been shaking the dice and slipped the dice he had secretly caught earlier into her hand

Before the Shangsi Festival, I received a task to assassinate the deputy leader of Wuyang. Wuyang holds a significant position in the martial world, and the deputy leader is known for his bravery and combat skills, wielding a pair of iron arms and copper rings, ranked eighth on the divine weapon list of the Langhuan Cave. Such a person is not easy to confront openly; he is not fond of alcohol or lust, and his only flaw is a love for gambling. The terrifying aspect of the Boyue Pavilion lies in its ability to exploit people's weaknesses and to penetrate through those vulnerabilities, digging deep. This target is particularly challenging, so Su Hua decided to take matters into her own hands. This battle is not only about completing the task but also serves as a demonstration for Ya'er. In her previous encounters, she had always relied on brute force to win, and she truly does not understand how to leverage the advantages of being a woman.

That night, Su Hua transformed into a dealer at the Wu Cao Liu Bo Museum.

A desolate chill rose in Su Hua's eyes as he turned to leave. She hurriedly exclaimed, leaning against the door with a teasing tone, "You are reluctant to easily step into my door; this child isn't an illegitimate daughter you have raised outside, is she?"

Su Hua did not speak, her pair of sparkling eyes swept across his face, then glided away to another gambling table

The master must maintain their dignity, look at this child's hair, it's all tangled up. She rolled up her sleeves and fiddled with it, "You are really dirty..." As soon as the words left her mouth, the child bared their teeth and let out an angry hiss. If she hadn't pulled her hand back quickly, she would have probably been bitten.

Su Hua smiled and said, "It will be fine once you get used to it"

She is very pleased, as it is not easy to encounter a good candidate. The Weak Water Gate is the most gentle yet the most venomous component of the Wave Moon Pavilion. Every year, many girls are sent in, but apart from her, only four will ever remain. These four are the outstanding survivors who have killed their companions to stay alive. The slots are limited, and the personnel updates and replacements are incessant; survival relies entirely on strength. This child was personally sent by Lan Zhan, and the instructions left are different from others, suggesting that her background is likely not simple.

Thus, Yue Yier was forcefully dragged through a stone door and locked inside a cold room

Do you know what the most powerful weapon of a woman is? It is her body. Some people are said to be indifferent to lust, but in reality, they have simply not encountered beauty that suits their taste. In the world, there are only a few types of men; the heroes who pursue glory will not reject beautiful women who serve as their swords, and the builders of extravagant feasts will always put effort into having a few stunning beauties to adorn their lavish backgrounds. They cannot do without women. What you need to do is simply cater to their preferences. Women are generally more adept at taking action than men; when it comes to critical moments, they can transform into daggers sharper than those of men. Therefore, our organization, Weak Water Gate, has been the right arm of the leader since its establishment.

Lan Zhan affectionately pinched her cheek, "I know you have a way."

The children of the rivers and lakes are not so particular about trivial matters. At the gambling table, the atmosphere is as passionate as fire, just as her "Theory of the Sword-Wielding Beauty" states, that no matter how indifferent a man may be to women, at this moment he will be captivated by those hands shaking the dice

The dark room is truly dark, with one's hand unable to be seen even at a distance of five fingers. However, there is a small hole above, and when the sun rises, a beam of light shoots in through that hole, illuminating a minuscule area at the very center of the earth

Su Hua laughed after hearing this: "This has indeed stumped me; a woman devoid of emotions ultimately cannot be graceful."

Su Hua said that a man will only lower his guard and drop his weapon when he is on the verge of death from desire. If you are confident that you can kill him before he unfastens your clothing, then act decisively to avoid suffering losses. If you are not confident, then you can only think, "He enjoys himself, and you enjoy yourself too," and wait for the right opportunity to strike.

Lan Zhan did not respond to her, casting a brief glance at her from the corner of his eye before leaving with his hands behind his back

At the age of sixteen, Yue Yaar was completely oblivious to matters of love and romance. Initially, Su Hua's teachings left her utterly confused, until she unraveled the celestial silk from the ring, and a bloody massacre truly commenced, allowing her to savor the intricacies within.

Twisting it, the deep brown powder, is it blood? Such a small child, so fierce, yet unable to speak, like a beast. She frowned in disdain, better wash it first, it's so dirty that it looks inhuman.

The facts prove that this is indeed the case; as soon as she had a bit of mobility, she did not hesitate to bite, leaving the maid who tied her skirt in a bloody mess.

The dress is dirty again, and Su Hua was furious, scolding, "Ungrateful thing, are you a dog?" She was already lacking in patience, and suddenly found it pointless, instructing those around her, "Lock her in the dark room and teach her to follow the rules first"

Once the deal was struck, the shouts began to rise. The deputy leader of Wuyang sat beneath Su Hua's skirt, the fluttering silk occasionally brushing against his face. The white dots on the black dice were, at this moment, more important than life itself. His eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his teeth tightly, causing the muscles in his jaw to bulge.

The beauty of Su Hua lies in her bone structure rather than her flesh. She can conceal her face, yet with just a pair of elegantly raised jade arms, she captivates the gaze of most men. The more overt her charm, the better. The easily swayed Ya'er, mingling in the crowd, observes her as she places one foot on the table, partially revealing her delicate bosom and smooth thighs, becoming the most striking spectacle at the card table.
