The fairy's inner demons are amazing!

Chapter 24 Domineering

For the next period of time, Ning Xiuyang cultivated in a routine manner every day.

In the morning, he practiced stance training to nourish his qi and blood; in the afternoon, he practiced boxing; and in the evening, he would sneak into the sixth young lady's boudoir to practice swordsmanship.

In recent days, he has finally come to understand the meaning of the phrase "slender waist, light in the palm of your hand".

Although the sixth young lady's waist was not a slender one, it was still very light and delicate, and she could never get tired of admiring it.

After Ye Yin took control of the Medicine King Gang, her status within the Ye family improved significantly. Many members of the collateral branches became closer to her than before, and even the matriarch, Liu Qingmei, made a special trip to inquire about her.

In order to completely control the Medicine King Gang and prevent outsiders from infiltrating, especially to avoid the infiltration of rivals such as Ye Jingxuan from the second wife's family and Ye Wenjing, the adopted son of the main wife Liu Qingmei, she specially asked her mother Liu Siying to transfer a highly skilled martial artist from the Liu family in Xiangshui County to help her manage the Medicine King Gang.

With the Medicine King Gang at their disposal, Ye Yin and Ning Xiuyang spent all their time diligently practicing swordsmanship, making the most of the powerful medicines accumulated by the Medicine King Gang to enhance their strength.

During this time, Ning Xiuyang, acting as the head servant, brazenly entered and exited Ye Yin's back garden.

This inevitably attracted a lot of attention.

It was noon that day.

After practicing his stance training in the back garden of the Martial Arts Academy, Ning Xiuyang suddenly felt his blood and qi boiling and his fascia throbbing. When he scanned the cultivation level section of the treasure mirror, his eyes immediately lit up.

[Cultivation Level]: Body Tempering Realm 1.0

We can break through directly!

The five realms of spiritual cultivation begin with physical training, followed by blood nourishment, then internal strengthening to gain a sense of qi, and finally the condensation of true qi. This is considered a successful cultivation.

The Blood Nourishing Realm not only requires abundant Qi and blood, but also lays the foundation for future cultivation. It removes impurities from the Qi and blood, strengthens its circulation, and achieves vitality, purity, and a long and powerful breath, thus making life force more vigorous.

Upon reaching the peak of the Blood Nourishing Realm, one experiences external changes: skin becomes fair with a rosy glow, one is impervious to the cold even in a single layer of clothing in winter, and the palms can warm metal and stone; one's breath becomes long and deep, allowing for the duration of an incense stick's burning, and the five senses are enhanced. Internally, the blood undergoes a qualitative transformation, with a trace of internal energy contained within it—this energy being the "qi" in "blood and qi." One can also use methods of blood and qi circulation to repair hidden injuries and nourish internal organs. In combat, one can even use the Blood Boiling technique to burn blood and qi, enhancing explosive power, and can also sense the strength of an opponent's blood and qi.

Immediately, he calmed down and began to knock on the Blood Nourishing Realm.

As Ning Xiuyang activated the Tiger Intent Mountain Strength Mind Technique, his eyes lit up when he sensed the silk-like energy flowing through his body's blood and qi.

Consciousness sank into the Myriad Phenomena Mirror.

[Cultivation Level]: Blood Nourishing Realm 0.01

According to the mental formula of Tiger Intent Bearing Mountain Strength, when practicing this stance, one enters the state of "strength as fine as silk" when the energy is as fine as silk. Then, the energy flows like a babbling brook, and one can hear the sound of blood flowing in one's own body when the eyes are closed. The energy surges like a river, and circulating the energy and blood can make blood-red tiger-shaped stripes appear on the body surface. Finally, in the state of great success, the energy is like a tide, and with each breath, the energy and blood rise and fall, nourishing the five internal organs. This is the state of perfecting the Blood Nourishing Realm, and one can then approach the Inner Strength Realm!

Ning Xiuyang was overjoyed. Was his physical constitution really as bad as that little vixen Ye Yin had said?

From not knowing how to cultivate to entering the Blood Nourishing Realm, it took less than a month.

Although according to the standard of cultivation quantification, nearly 0.4 of it comes from refining the inner demons, and the remaining 0.6 is also due to the two great herbs. He just ate one of the great herbs from the Medicine King Gang the day before yesterday. But this cultivation speed should not be much worse than those inner disciples of the Divine Sword Manor, right?

According to the rules of Shenjian Manor, only those who have reached the Blood Nourishing Realm can enter the inner sect and receive a more complete inheritance of cultivation methods.

However, compared to the inner disciples, their current life is clearly more comfortable.

When they were tired from cultivation, the sixth young lady of the Ye family, whom the disciples revered like a goddess, would come and massage their limbs like the most caring maid to improve blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

Even bathing was done directly in the large wooden tub in the Sixth Miss's boudoir, bathing together with her and enjoying every inch of her smooth little hands serving her.

Isn't this life better than that of the miserable inner disciples?

Just as he was feeling smug, he saw Ye Yin, wearing a flowing moon-white dress, with a slender waist and full, shapely breasts, walking gracefully towards him. With each step, one could vaguely see the tight, evenly bound black skin of her legs beneath the moon-white dress. Her fair face had a rosy glow, and her almond-shaped eyes were full of spring-like desire as she glanced at Ning Xiuyang, intentionally or unintentionally.

Two maids were sweeping the courtyard in the distance. Ning Xiuyang, not wanting to overstep her bounds, bowed and greeted them, "Greetings, Sixth Miss."

"Hmm." Ye Yin walked over with a straight face. As she walked, she turned her back to the maid in the distance. When she came to Ning Xiuyang, she paused lightly. Seemingly unintentionally, she lifted her skirt and revealed her plump legs, which were bound by black ice silk stockings that were over the knee and semi-transparent.

In just a fleeting moment, Ning Xiuyang only caught a glimpse of her beauty before her long, moon-white dress obscured her view. Ye Yin blushed, nodded with feigned seriousness, and then said, "Come with me to the disciple square. Today it's my turn to teach the Class C disciples."

"Yes."

Ning Xiuyang couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He wanted to find an excuse to go and see Granny Li's craftsmanship properly. He wondered if she had grasped the charm of his drawing.

However, the black ice silk fabric is a very tough and malleable material. It is thin and transparent in black, so even if the craftsmanship is a little poor, it will not be a big deal. It can probably perfectly replicate the fashion items in the dream world.

With that in mind, the two of them walked out of the backyard of the Ye residence one after the other, heading towards the square of the Divine Sword Manor.

"Hmph, a mere servant dares to dream of learning martial arts to change his fate?"

Just as they arrived at the Divine Sword Manor square, they suddenly heard a reprimanding voice, "For the sake of being a domestic slave, give him twenty lashes, and demote both him and his father. Tell his father that if you're a slave, you should be prepared to be one. Don't spend your days thinking about defying fate. Is this something a lowly slave like you should even consider?"

"If you actually had the talent to learn martial arts, that would be one thing, but a good-for-nothing like you dares to secretly learn martial arts?"

"My Ye family provides you with the best food and drink, not so you can slack off!"

Ning Xiuyang's heart skipped a beat; he recognized the voice as that of Ye Jingxuan, the second son of the family.

Hearing these words, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

I was just like that back then.

At least this brother is luckier than me. He is a household slave and won't be beaten to death to feed that ferocious Red Lotus Fire Elephant for the slightest mistake. If he really has the talent to learn martial arts, he will be given special training by his master.

But his fate was not as good as his own; he could not control the second young master's inner demons, nor could he find a way out of the desperate situation.

If nothing unexpected happens, after what happened today, this brother will be stuck with his head down for the rest of his life, obediently serving as a servant, eventually marrying a woman the young master has grown tired of, and having a child whose bloodline is unknown—whether it's his own or that of the Ye family…

"Second Brother is as domineering as ever."

Ye Yin snorted coldly and led Ning Xiuyang across the threshold.

Hearing this, Ning Xiuyang couldn't help but look strange. He stared at the slender, curvaceous sixth young lady's buttocks and thought, "How dare you say that about him?"

If I hadn't caught you red-handed back then, I'd probably be nothing but fire elemental excrement by now.

Ning Xiuyang pursed his lips, feeling that he still needed to teach this arrogant sixth young lady a lesson tonight.

"Isn't this Sixth Sister?"

After reprimanding the servant who wanted to steal martial arts skills, Ye Jingxuan turned around and bumped into Ye Yin and Ning Xiuyang who were coming from the opposite direction. His face immediately showed an unfriendly look, especially when he stared at Ning Xiuyang, his eyes were full of sarcasm and indifference.

"Second Brother." Ye Yin nodded and greeted him expressionlessly.

Ye Jingxuan didn't seem to mind, instead sneering, "Sixth Sister did something big recently, she even got the Medicine King Gang under her control, but she used my people, didn't she? Didn't she give any explanation?"

Ye Yin's expression darkened.

Huo Zifeng was indeed a member of the second branch of the family. On that day, due to the urgency of the situation, his White Horse Gang represented the Ye family in the outside world, and he had no choice but to protect himself, the sixth young lady of the Ye family.

It's understandable that Ye Jingxuan would want a share of the pie now, using this as an excuse.

While Ye Yin was carefully considering his instructions...

Ye Jingxuan shifted his gaze to Ning Xiuyang, a mocking smile appearing on his face, and said, "This little dwarf, could he be the new manager you promoted, Sixth Sister?"

Seeing Ye Jingxuan change the subject, Ye Yin felt relieved.

But then he immediately frowned and said coldly, "What does Second Brother want to say?"

Ye Jingxuan sneered, "I heard he used to be your stable boy? Is it really worth killing Li Yunping and destroying the Li family for someone like that?"

"Or was it from the very beginning that you planned to use this little dwarf as a starting point to take control of the Medicine King Gang?"

Ning Xiuyang frowned slightly, he could hear the sarcasm and hostility in Ye Jingxuan's words.

If it weren't for him, Huo Zifeng of the White Horse Gang might have been able to seize control of the Medicine King Gang that day, thus becoming an asset for Ye Jingxuan in his struggle to become the heir to the family headship.

Ye Yin frowned, feeling uneasy, but she remained outwardly composed and coldly snorted, "Second brother, please have some self-respect. Xiu Yang is my mother's nephew. He was kidnapped by human traffickers when he was young and ended up as a slave in my Ye family by some twist of fate. Now that we have recognized each other, since the slave contract is still in effect, I have promoted him to the position of head. According to seniority, you and I should call him cousin."

"Cousin?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingxuan reacted as if he had heard a joke. He first exchanged glances and laughed with his attendants, then glanced sideways at Ning Xiuyang and said with disdain, "Him? He's like a dog, not even as good as that mixed-breed dog in my yard. Does he deserve to be my cousin?"
