Chapter 8: Immortal Body in "Cannon Fire"
Upon seeing Long Aotian's arrival, the generals quickly made way, revealing Lidié standing behind the magic cannon, with several generals looking panicked. After some inquiry, Long Aotian was infuriated to find out that Lidié, taking advantage of everyone's distraction, had activated the magic cannon and fired at the beastmen who were arrayed on the battlefield. Long Aotian took a closer look; the originally orderly formation of the beastmen had a large gap in it, which made him marvel at the power of the cannon - Ghost Master had not exaggerated.
Watching the beastmen below scurry like bees from a disturbed hive, rushing towards them in waves, Long Aotian shouted, "All troops, engage!" The Fast Army hurriedly organized their positions, operating the magic cannon to bombard the beastmen. Long Aotian now truly witnessed the might of this cannon. A thick beam of white light shot out from the cannon's mouth, forming a large sphere of light ten meters ahead, which rapidly tore through the air with a "hissing" sound, landing among the beastmen, causing a large number of them to vanish without a trace. Long Aotian broke into a cold sweat, imagining what would happen if this was aimed at the Fast Army instead.
However, the magic cannon also had its flaws; it was only effective at long range and useless against enemies that got too close. By this time, a large number of beastmen had already reached the foot of the hill, entering a zone where the cannon couldn't reach.
The Fast Army, having already set up multiple layers of defense on the hill, launched a fierce counterattack under Long Aotian's command. Every soldier knew that allowing the enemy to get close would put them at a significant disadvantage. Arrows flew like locusts, raining down on the beastmen at the foot of the hill, forcing them to raise their shields and crouch. Fortunately, the narrow mountain path prevented the beastmen from spreading out; instead, they were bunched up under the command of their officers, making them easy targets for the Fast Army's arrows. In no time, the mountain path was flowing with blood, bodies strewn everywhere.
In the first charge, the beastmen of Yasu left nearly a thousand bodies behind, retreating to a point below where the arrows could no longer reach. They were waiting for reinforcements, but due to the area being blocked off by the magic cannon, the arrival of additional troops was slow, causing the Asu commanders to jump in frustration, cursing loudly. On the hill, the Fast Army was in high spirits, cheering, while their officers were busy tallying casualties and adjusting their defensive strategies.
Seeing Lidié, who was busy operating the magic cannon, Long Aotian felt anger rise within him. He grabbed her, amidst her screams, instructed soldiers to take over and fire the cannon properly, then carried Lidié over his shoulder towards the rear tent, muttering fiercely, "You troublemaker, I must punish you well!"
On the battlefield, Luoxingyao and Lete were in the thick of combat. One was powerful and aggressive, charging through, while the other was nimble and elegant, skillfully maneuvering with a spear that moved like a dragon. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged dozens of moves. Lete grew more fearful with each clash, cursing internally: "Why isn't that damn cannon ready yet?" He couldn't wait any longer; as they crossed paths, he signaled, and the beastmen behind roared, charging forward.
Luoxingyao let out a cold laugh, reining in her horse, pointing her spear forward, her jade-like hand trembling, drawing a strange pattern in the air, then shouted, "Thousand Wind Blades!" Instantly, a bizarre gale arose in front of her horse, making a ghostly howling sound, slicing through the front like a blade, causing those leading the charge to bleed profusely and scream. But the enraged beastmen still charged fearlessly.
Luoxingyao pulled back her horse, and the Fast Army behind her began to advance, the battle about to escalate. Suddenly, above the Asu army, a dazzling beam of white light swept through, landing in their ranks, shining brighter than the morning sun. When the light faded, everyone was shocked to see an entire squad of lionmen had disappeared. Both sides were stunned by this event; Lete recognized it was the work of the magic cannon but couldn't understand why it hit their own ground. Sensing trouble, he roared, ordering the bear soldiers at the rear to turn and head towards the hill.
Luoxingyao was also confused by this sudden change, watching the beastmen frantically adjust their troops. More white lights fell into the Asu ranks, scattering them in disarray. The Fast Army hesitated to advance, fearing the mysterious lights might hit them too. At this moment, A Yu found Liu Yimeng, urgently saying, "My lord is over there. I must find him." Without waiting for a response, A Yu transformed into a beam of light and vanished before Liu Yimeng's eyes.
※ ※ ※ With a "bang," Long Aotian threw Lidié onto the table. Amidst her cries of pain, he turned her over, back facing up. Holding Lidié's slender waist with one hand, Long Aotian yanked down her pants, both the long pants and the undergarments to her knees, revealing her white, jade-like, plump buttocks. Lidié, in embarrassment, cried out, "What are you doing?" "Disobeying orders, acting recklessly, you get eighty lashes!" Before finishing his sentence, Long Aotian's large hand smacked down hard on Lidié's tender, beautiful backside. With a "slap," the high buttocks quivered slightly, creating a beautiful sight.
Long Aotian was surprised by the full and shapely backside hidden under Lidié's delicate appearance, the special elasticity of a young girl's buttocks further captivating him. Excited, Long Aotian swung his hand, slap after slap, on Lidié's buttocks. Lidié let out timid moans, struggling to escape his grasp, but the disparity in strength was too great. Amidst her moans, Long Aotian spanked her over twenty times, looking at the red marks and her squirming, creating an indescribable sense of allure.
Long Aotian felt a change in his own body. He tenderly caressed the now burning, smooth buttocks, and Lidié felt an odd itch from the pain, letting out an alluring moan. This moan, like adding fuel to the fire, ignited Long Aotian's desire, "Now, I'll execute you on the spot!" Saying this, he pulled Lidié's legs to the edge of the table, making her kneel with her upper body leaning on the table, her buttocks high in the air, an enticing pose. This general's bizarre behavior confused her, but undeniably, the young girl's heart had already harbored his image - perhaps because of his uniqueness or because she sought his help. Regardless, Lidié now longed to be possessed by this man.
Though she decided, Lidié still felt deeply ashamed, burying her heated face in her arms, allowing the man behind to do as he pleased. Long Aotian's skilled fingers soon had Lidié writhing in a strange, unfamiliar itch, moans escaping her delicate lips, fueling the desire of the man behind her. Unable to resist any longer, Long Aotian intended to conquer her. Lidié, feeling anxious, turned her head slightly, her eyes flowing with charm, and said, "My lord, I am still a virgin, please be gentle!" But this man had no gentleness left; without a word, he used his strength to break through her last line of defense. "Ah! ... It hurts so much ... no..." The deep pain made Lidié scream, sweating profusely, her eyes rolling back. She tried to escape, but in this position, she was powerless, like being in the palm of a demon. Amid her cries, signs of her virginity appeared and fell to the ground.
Long Aotian, however, felt an extreme pleasure, this tight embrace being a sensation he had never experienced before, even he, seasoned in romance, couldn't help but admire. By now, Lidié was exhausted from the pain, trembling at his slightest movement, lying limply on the table, her face buried in her crossed arms, just wishing it would end soon. But Long Aotian deliberately whispered in her ear, "Wow! Your place is so tight, it's driving me crazy!" He then licked her ear and continued, "Now, I'll really punish you!" Lidié was ashamed, angry, and frustrated, wishing for a hole to crawl into, unable to speak from the pain, and with every move, she felt like her body might be broken.
Seeing her like this, Long Aotian felt a tinge of compassion, whispering in her ear, "Relax, it will get better." After the passion, as he stood up, "gush," a large amount of fluid flowed down her white, smooth thighs. "You've got a lot of water!" Long Aotian teased. Lidié, too weak to retort, her face flushed with shame.
Long Aotian laughed, "Let me clean you up! Otherwise, you'll dirty your pants." Lidié, in her shyness, was about to refuse, but Long Aotian was already examining the messy area between her legs. She felt deeply embarrassed but grew more curious about this man who had become the most important person in her life in just a day, his actions so different from others, even somewhat eccentric.
"Ouch! It's a bit torn!" Long Aotian suddenly said, interrupting Lidié's thoughts. She tensed up, feeling the burning pain down below, wanting to check it out. Long Aotian suddenly held her buttocks down, taking out the silk book, chuckling to himself, "Since it's an unreadable broken book, might as well use it to wipe."
He then used the "Dragon Heart Sutra" to clean the blood and fluid from Lidié's white, crystal-clear thighs. Strangely, despite being impossible to open before, the silk book absorbed the mixed fluids, especially Lidié's blood, emitting a strange glow, which amazed Long Aotian. Curious, he moved the entire "Dragon Heart Sutra" to Lidié's messy crotch, wiping the blood off the swollen flesh.
Instantly, something strange happened; the "Dragon Heart Sutra" glowed brightly and became warm, transmitting a peculiar sensation to Long Aotian's hand. "Oh..." The heat from her crotch made Lidié moan. "It's so hot!" She twisted her body, wanting to turn around. Seeing this, Long Aotian wiped more vigorously, even rolling the book and inserting it, turning it inside her.
He felt the "Dragon Heart Sutra" growing hotter, with faint electric lights shooting out, penetrating the swollen, warm area. Lidié's beautiful, tender buttocks trembled involuntarily, shaking her whole body. "Ah... It's so uncomfortable!" She pleaded, "Please stop, I can't take it anymore!" Seeing this wonder, how could Long Aotian stop? He patted her and said, "Don't be silly, you're enjoying it, aren't you? Haha!" Lidié could no longer speak; she felt an unbearable heat below, a strong current rushing through her body, her throat feeling like it was choked, unable to make a sound.
A Yu, with her unique Dark Clan instincts, could vaguely sense Long Aotian's location. She used her extraordinary stealth technique and newly acquired supernatural abilities to sneak through the beastman army, reaching the hill where Long Aotian was. At this moment, A Yu was very proud; during her infiltration, not a single person noticed her. This indicated that her "Dark Night Maze" had reached its peak, able to disappear even in daylight - originally, she could only do this at night, and prolonged use would leave her breathless and exhausted, but now, she felt no strain. She felt even more grateful to Long Aotian and loved him more deeply from the bottom of her heart. As A Yu arrived outside the tent, she was met with a bizarre and lascivious scene, leaving her wide-eyed and wondering if she had mistaken the person. But when her gaze fell on what was between Long Aotian's legs, she felt a flutter in her heart, reminded of the immense pleasure that thing had brought her.
Inside the tent, Lidié was at her limit; her delicate body suddenly shook violently, trembling intensely, and her voice was restored. She felt a tremendous energy emanating from that object, shooting into the depths of her body, then rapidly circulating through her, getting faster and faster, filling her limbs and veins with a strange sensation, as if every muscle was expanding and contracting, every pore about to burst, like her whole body was on the verge of exploding.
She couldn't help but throw her head back and cry out, "Ah... I'm dying..." Long Aotian felt Lidié's lower body clamp down with an unprecedented strength on the rolled-up silk book, making it impossible for him to pull it out. Just as he was about to forcibly remove it, Lidié's entire body emitted a blue glow, she leaped up from the ground, her clothes that were down to her knees slipped to her feet, her lower body still tightly holding the "Dragon Heart Sutra", and she turned towards Long Aotian, waving her delicate hands. What shocked him even more was that Lidié, who was supposed to be untrained in martial arts, was now generating gusts of wind with her movements, her true energy flowing, clearly the demeanor of a skilled martial artist.
Long Aotian was taken aback by this sudden change and quickly retreated. He looked rather disheveled, his clothes in disarray, and his lower half still bare. Before he could figure out what was happening, he heard a shout, and someone leaped into the tent, swinging a sword directly at Lidié's chest. A red light flashed, and Lidié, who was wildly waving her hands, screamed and collapsed to the ground. Long Aotian, regaining his composure, saw that the intruder was A Yu, dressed in tight combat attire, her figure accentuated by a full chest, slender waist, and shapely hips. A Yu pulled the sword from Lidié, turned to Long Aotian, and said, "My lord, you've been alarmed!"
On the battlefield, Luoxingyao received the ecstatic news from Liu Yimeng, who galloped over, and immediately ordered the Fast Army to launch a full-scale attack on the beastmen, who were momentarily halted and in disarray. The beastmen quickly fell back under this direct assault. Seeing the tide turn, Buge and Huibei, who had already tasted defeat, wisely led their tribes away from the battlefield. Xiangling's leopard soldiers, being fewer in number, were positioned on the right flank and cleverly preserved their strength amidst the chaos, leaving only Lete's lion soldiers to fight stubbornly. Even so, the fierce beastmen inflicted some losses on the Fast Army.
Compared to the Fast Army fighting hard on the battlefield, Long Aotian's group had it easiest, as they only needed to hold the hilltop and bombard the beastmen with the magic cannon. However, the magic cannon, while powerful, had its drawbacks; it was cumbersome to move and reload, and required specific conditions to be used effectively, needing to be set up where energy converges. Ghost Master had spent considerable time finding this particular spot with special instruments.
Long Aotian looked at the fallen Lidié with regret, stomping his foot in frustration, "What a pity, what a pity!" By now, Lidié's blue glow had vanished, and she appeared lifeless. A Yu, noticing Long Aotian's disheveled state, blushed and pointed at his lower half, whispering, "My lord, you..." While Long Aotian was still in regret, he frowned at her words and said, "Haven't you seen this before? Come, help me get dressed!" A Yu stuck out her tongue playfully, her face flushing as she approached Long Aotian, pulling out a clean silk cloth from her bosom to gently wipe him down before helping him dress.
Seeing the obedient and gentle A Yu, Long Aotian's anger subsided. He reached out to touch her soft face, asking, "How did you get here?" "I can sense your location!" A Yu responded proudly, "This is the 'Heart of Resonance' that the Dark Clan possesses after the seal is lifted; no matter where you go, I can find you."
Suddenly, they heard a moan from Lidié on the ground, startling both of them. They turned to see that Lidié's chest wound had stopped bleeding, and her complexion was turning rosy. They approached Lidié, and Long Aotian noticed her body was still warm and soft. Lidié moaned softly again. A sudden thought struck him, and he quickly lifted Lidié onto the table, undoing her clothes to reveal her full breasts stained with blood, looking somewhat terrifying.
Long Aotian slowly cleaned the blood from her smooth breasts, and as he did, the clean, jade-like skin of her chest was revealed. "Ah!..." A Yu exclaimed in surprise. The sword mark on Lidié's chest had vanished without a trace, leaving her skin as flawless as ever. "What's going on?" A Yu asked, puzzled, looking at Long Aotian.
Long Aotian shook his head with a bitter smile, equally baffled by what was happening. Lidié's chest heaved, and she slowly opened her eyes, her first words being, "Am I dead?" Long Aotian was overjoyed, "You're not dead! How do you feel?" Lidié looked at him with a mix of resentment and affection, "You killed me! You're such a bad guy!" After a pause, she added, "But it felt so good, so beautiful!" Her face flushed like the evening sky.
Long Aotian looked at Lidié, puzzled about why she didn't remember what had just happened. Lidié noticed A Yu looking at her with concern and asked, "Who is this sister?" Then she noticed the blood on her chest and screamed, "What's going on? ... I'm bleeding... Where am I hurt?" Long Aotian understood that Lidié's memory had stopped at the moment of climax; she had no recollection of what happened afterward. He laughed as he cleaned the blood from her, playfully groping her tender breasts, eliciting shy moans. "It's nothing! I was just teasing you." Lidié sighed in relief, blushing, "You're so naughty, teasing me like that!" She felt embarrassed to expose her chest in front of another woman, quickly covering up and stopping Long Aotian's playful hands, giving A Yu a sheepish smile.
A Yu found it amusing that Lidié covered her chest but was oblivious to her exposed lower half, laughing softly. She introduced herself, "I am the lord's maid!" Long Aotian added, "She's my most beloved maid, named A Yu!" Lidié sweetly called out, "Sister A Yu!" A Yu was about to ask how Lidié could be unharmed after being stabbed when Long Aotian reached for the "Dragon Heart Sutra" between Lidié's legs, chuckling, "Can I have my book back now?" Lidié turned beet red with embarrassment.
Ignoring Lidié's protests, Long Aotian parted her delicate legs and grabbed the "Dragon Heart Sutra," pulling it out. He felt her body resist letting go of the book, a force tightly holding onto it. He laughed as he twisted and pulled, causing Lidié even more discomfort; she didn't know whether to close or open her legs, her small waist twisting in agony. "Hold her waist!" Long Aotian commanded A Yu, who playfully gripped Lidié's slender waist. Amidst Lidié's trembling moans, Long Aotian finally extracted the now wet silk book, which was covered with blood and other fluids, creating a bizarre pattern. As he pulled it out, a hot, moist air rose, like steam from an opened steamer, very peculiar.
Long Aotian tossed the book aside, proudly asking A Yu, "Am I not impressive?" A Yu, blushing, nodded slightly, while Lidié was even more embarrassed. A Yu began to dress the weak Lidié, but Lidié sat up, saying, "Let me do it, sister!" Long Aotian chuckled, about to speak when he noticed the "Dragon Heart Sutra" on the ground had opened, revealing densely written text. He excitedly picked it up and started flipping through it.
A Yu and the now-dressed Lidié came to his side, A Yu asking curiously, "My lord, what's this that makes you so happy?" Long Aotian now understood everything, inwardly cursing the book's creator for devising such a method to unlock its seal. It seemed the so-called immortal body was indeed real, though making Lidié immortal made him sigh at her luck.
Looking at Lidié, whose face was still flushed, Long Aotian said, "Miss Lidié..." Lidié cut him off, "Calling me 'miss' now is too formal, isn't it?" Long Aotian smiled, "Lidié, do you know you've become immortal?" "What?" both A Yu and Lidié exclaimed in unison, shocked. Long Aotian, excited, said, "Look!" He drew his sword and made a cut on Lidié's hand.
Lidié screamed and tried to back away, but Long Aotian held her shoulders. She cried, "What are you doing? Don't kill me!" Long Aotian, both amused and exasperated, said, "Stop crying, I wouldn't kill you!" Lidié, sobbing, didn't dare cry anymore, staring at him with wide, frightened eyes. Long Aotian took her small hand, speaking gently, "You're so obedient, so well-behaved, how could I bear to hurt you, silly girl?" "Then you..." Lidié's eyes were red, looking at him. Long Aotian placed her hand in front of her, "Doesn't it hurt anymore? Look!" Lidié looked at her hand in disbelief; there was only a few drops of blood, the wound already gone.
"How can this be? How can this be?" Lidié kept examining her hand, finding not a single scar, even softer and redder than before. A Yu looked at Lidié with envy, more puzzled by Long Aotian's abilities, this man always full of mysteries. Realizing her new ability, Lidié burst into laughter through her tears, hugging Long Aotian's waist, her head buried in his chest, "Thank you! Thank you!" However, Long Aotian felt a pang of compassion; immortality is something many dream of, yet he, being broad-minded, decided to see this through.
Long Aotian whispered into Lidié's ear, "I'll recommend you to General Luoxingyao to join her army." Overjoyed, Lidié looked up, tears in her almond-shaped eyes, asking in disbelief, "Really, really?" Upon his affirmation, she murmured, "How can I thank you?" Long Aotian laughed, "How about letting me do it a few more times?" This made Lidié blush profusely, but she hugged him tightly, from that moment on, giving her heart entirely to Long Aotian.
