Essence Stories of the Jianghu: The Guoniu Xiaoyan Chapter

A green shadow swept by. Silence. Moonlight like water quietly spilled over the pond. A gentle breeze stirred ripples. In this serene night, suddenly a sigh was heard. 'Why did you come?' The woman's soft voice broke the silence.

'It is widely rumored in the martial world that you are about to marry.' A deep, magnetic male voice replied. 'I want to know if this is not true. But this whole courtyard filled with festivities has wiped out my last tiny bit of hope.'

The woman was silent for a while. Finally, she said, 'Xiao Yan, our fate is deep but our circumstances shallow. That day, you defeated Pohu, I thought you had become the darling of the martial world and could retire with me. But alas, you are still entangled in martial world conflicts.'

The man, called Xiao Yan, couldn't help but recall the scene of the fight from that day.

The night before the duel, Xiao Yan suddenly suffered from diarrhea. Of course, he seriously suspected that Pohu had done something underhanded, putting something unclean in his food, but he had no evidence. This ordeal lasted until the next morning.

On that day, the city was filled with smoke and dust, and the streets were empty. Everyone wanted to witness who would claim the title of the darling of the martial world. Moreover, it was said that the winner would also obtain the most beautiful woman in the martial world, Miss Guo from the Deng family.

By mid-morning, the scorching sun shone on the two on the arena. Xiao Yan felt weak in his feet due to the ordeal of the whole night. And his stomach seemed ready to revolt again.

In contrast, Pohu stood proudly, confident of victory.

By the arena, the martial world's twin beauties, Chilian and Qingxin, watched the spectacle with interest.

'Sister Lian, did you put a little too much in Xiao Yan's medicine yesterday?' Qingxin asked while peeling a banana.

'Sister Qing, when taking action one must be ruthless. After all, this guy dared to compete with my Pohu for Miss Guo!' Chilian's voice was always seductively enchanting.

The gawky men around immediately directed their eyes at the two beauties and, in the face of Chilian's captivating smile, gave up the front row seats.

On the arena, Pohu spoke: 'Xiao Yan, fierce as you are, you seem to be unwell?' His voice carried a faint hint of seduction.

Xiao Yan shook his head. 'Pohu, I heard that you and Dangdang were a celestial couple. Why do you still vie with me for Miss Guo?'

Pohu snorted coldly. 'Celestial couple? Dangdang has been secretly dating Miss Guo many times! From the moment he refused to practice the **** with me, I knew! Miss Guo is mine, to take revenge on my Dangdang!'

A commotion arose among the crowd below the arena. Suddenly, Xiao Yan felt his stomach churn violently.I don't want to say much, please advise! After Pohu said this, he hugged his sword and rushed toward Xiaoyan. Qingxin had just finished eating a banana and casually tossed the peel forward. Watching Pohu step on the banana peel, he slipped toward Xiaoyan. Xiaoyan dodged to the side. Losing control of his emotions, he couldn't help but fart. The people in the front row of the arena all covered their noses in unison. Poor Pohu happened to fall right next to Xiaoyan's rear, and he fainted. Thus, Xiaoyan won this contest. People in the martial world said that Xiaoyan used only one move and Pohu lost consciousness, showing how powerful he was. Only the people in the front row knew what really happened. But they were all poisoned by Chilian and threatened not to reveal the truth. Otherwise, if it got out that Pohu fainted from someone's fart, how could he keep his reputation in the martial world? Chilian told this to Qingxin. Qingxin nodded, half understanding. Then she asked, 'But is it true about Pohu and Dangdang?' It used to be true. Chilian smiled mysteriously. Xiaoyan snapped out of his memory. He felt embarrassed to tell the woman in front of him that at the end of the duel, he had hurried out to find a restroom. By the time his stomach issue was resolved, Pohu was gone, and the woman he wanted to stay with was also gone. 'I've been looking for you,' Xiaoyan said, 'sorry for leaving in such a hurry because of him.' 'Yes. I was sitting in the loft above the arena, waiting for you to take me away. But everyone left, and you still didn't come,' she said. 'He took me away.' A slight blush appeared on the woman's face, barely visible in the moonlight. 'He treated me well, cared for me, spoiled me, with no martial grudges or disputes...' Xiaoyan suddenly felt relieved, with a horrified smile on his face. The woman's heart skipped a beat. 'What's wrong with you…' she asked. With that horrified smile, Xiaoyan said, 'I took the Sanxiao Xiaoyao Powder. Before seeing you, I was suppressing the toxicity with inner strength. Just now, seeing you so happy, I felt at ease and stopped suppressing it.' The woman cried out in misery, completely shattering the night's calm. From the courtyard came the shouts of servants: 'Who!' 'Don't laugh anymore! I'll go help you find the antidote!' the woman yelled. 'Sister Lian, do you want to help that fool too? He's pretty pitiful. He just smiled once and...' Qingxin sat atop a tree, watching the busy crowd below. 'Sigh, I actually wanted to give him medicine for diarrhea, but your girl self turned it into Sanxiao Xiaoyao Powder. Now there's only one medicine that can save him: the Facial Paralysis No-Laugh Pill!'Chi Lian shook her head and said, 'Ah. Isn't that the medicine you gave Ge Nie in a fit of anger after discovering that Lord Wei Zhuang and Ge Nie had a problem? After taking it, he became paralyzed in his face and could no longer smile.' Qingxin was shocked and said, 'Yes, but now only this medicine can save him…' The first light of dawn finally pierced the darkness. Tonight, will it be as calm as before? Rumor has it in the Jianghu that Miss Guo can no longer smile after marrying Xiao Yanjun. 'Little Yan, don't be mad. It's purely for fun!'
