The breeze gently blew, tousling a few strands of hair in front of the Beautiful Woman's forehead.
After hesitating for a moment, the Beautiful Woman said coldly, "What are the conditions?"
"Hehe, if we're talking about conditions, it's quite simple..." Wang Weiyang's gloomy laughter was irritating.
"Cut the nonsense and just tell me the conditions," the Beautiful Woman interrupted Wang Weiyang. At this moment, she probably had a rough idea of what was coming, so her words were filled with anger.
"The beauty need not be angry; I'll get to it right away." Wang Weiyang paused and then said lewdly, "First, you must serve us brothers well today. Second... I want to learn your strange movement technique!"
"Haha!" The Beautiful Woman laughed in anger upon hearing this, disdainfully saying, "With just the two of you, do you even ask yourselves what gives you the right?"
"Xu Ao, you go ahead and wait for me at the market entrance. I'll tell her what gives me the right!" Wang Weiyang sneered and whispered a few words to Xu Ao before glaring at the Beautiful Woman.
"Wang Weiyang, be careful. I can't help you with anything; I'm leaving now!"
"Go on!"
Xu Ao regretted seeing the Beautiful Woman's formidable abilities and had long wanted to leave. He had been hesitating only out of face-saving. Now that Wang Weiyang told him to go, he had no reason to hesitate any longer and hurriedly left; retreating was the best option.
After walking several dozen paces away, Xu Ao turned back and cursed under his breath: "Wang Weiyang has been brainwashed by beauty and martial arts; it's probably hard for him to come out unscathed. How dare he propose conditions... what a foolish bird! I won't accompany you to your death!"
Thinking this, Xu Ao's eyes darted around, and as he reached the corner of the road, he quickly hid behind a large tree.
"I need to keep an eye on this. If Wang Weiyang really manages to subdue the beauty, I can't let him have all the spoils. With that figure and beauty, I must get my share..."
With that thought, Xu Ao squinted his small triangular eyes and focused on watching the two in the clearing while listening intently.
Wang Weiyang glanced in the direction Xu Ao had left, seemingly confirming that the latter had not gone far, before slowly speaking, "I haven't used my full strength yet!"
"I know, but even if you give it your all, you will undoubtedly lose!" The Beautiful Woman's tone was cold and confident.
Hearing this, Wang Weiyang let out a cold laugh and said, "Maybe, but the reason I'm negotiating is that I have leverage to make you comply!"
"Enough small talk. This is my final warning: if you don't leave this place immediately, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Haha, what a fierce temper! It seems I have no choice but to speak up! Listen carefully, my leverage is... Ye Tian!" After laughing, Wang Weiyang looked at the Beautiful Woman with a glint in his eye.
"You... you're despicable!" The Beautiful Woman's face turned pale with anger; she wished she could kill this shameless person immediately.
"So, how about it? Is my leverage heavy enough?" Wang Weiyang grinned wickedly as he gazed in the direction Xu Ao had gone. "There are only a few places in Spirit Martial Town where children can play. By now, Brother Xu Ao should have succeeded, hahaha!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Beautiful Woman's figure vanished without a trace. Before Wang Weiyang could react, a silver hairpin appeared at his throat.
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" The Beautiful Woman's hand trembled slightly around the silver hairpin due to her agitation, but she did not stab him.
"Go ahead! Do it! As long as I die, your precious son will definitely not survive until tomorrow!"
With a 'clink,' the silver hairpin slipped from the Beautiful Woman's hand and fell to the ground.
"If I do as you say, will you really let my son go?" The Beautiful Woman felt despondent; she would do anything for her son, including selling her own body.
"Of course! His life is worth nothing to me. Why would I kill him? Besides, if you don't trust me, just go ahead and kill me!"
Anyone can see that if Wang Weiyang is killed, Ye Tian will surely die. However, if he compromises, there may still be a glimmer of hope for Ye Tian.
The Beautiful Woman sighed deeply after weighing her options and said, "I hope you are a trustworthy person!"
"Haha, that would be best. First, teach me the cultivation technique for your movement skill!" Wang Weiyang's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"This technique is extremely complex and difficult to master; it's not something that can be learned in a day. If you can't grasp it, don't blame me."
"Don't worry, whether I can learn it or not is my business. As long as you are willing to teach, consider this the first condition met."
"Go ahead and tell me the incantation!" Wang Weiyang leaned closer to the Beautiful Woman, pressing his ear to her lips.
The Beautiful Woman took a small step back, then parted her red lips and began to recite the secret incantation.
As the sun moved across the sky, two hours quickly passed.
It was now noon, and Wang Weiyang was sweating profusely as he practiced in some very strange postures.
After a moment, he stopped and took a deep breath, looking at his body in disbelief. Then he exclaimed with joy, "Just as you said, my muscles and bones are far more flexible than before. It seems what you taught me is real!"
Upon hearing this, the Beautiful Woman replied coldly, "I hope you can keep your promise as well."
"Hahaha! Of course! But you need to clean yourself up and wait for me. We still have some fun to have tonight! Hahahaha!" With that, Wang Weiyang's figure shot off rapidly into the distance.
Once Wang Weiyang had completely left, Xu Ao stepped out in confusion. Since he had been quite far away earlier, he only caught the gist of their conversation.
"What exactly is Wang Weiyang planning... It seems from his last words that he succeeded?" Xu Ao shook his head and didn't think too much about it. After all, Wang Weiyang mentioned having fun tonight; he could always join in later.
Thinking of this, Xu Ao chuckled lewdly and stealthily left.
Excited, Xu Ao found a tavern after leaving the thatched cottage and drank heavily for the entire afternoon before eagerly returning to the place.
The footsteps grew closer, and from within the dilapidated thatched cottage came the sound of crying.
"Damn it, Wang Weiyang, you bastard, be gentle! You've made the beauty cry out of tune." Xu Ao cursed under his breath as he slowly approached the window to peek inside.
What he imagined to be a scene of debauchery with Wang Weiyang did not appear. Instead, he saw a boy covered in mud, as if he had just rolled in the dirt, crying in pain.
The boy's expression was one of utter despair, tears streaming down his face. In his arms lay a soft body, possessing a beauty that could rival that of a fish or a flower. However, at this moment, that stunning face was pale as death, with lips devoid of color, looking almost lifeless...
...
Two streams of tears silently fell from those dark eyes. With a furrowed brow, memories of his mother’s gentle figure and her kind voice vividly filled his mind.
"Mother..."
Gently calling out, Ye Tian shook his head and pulled himself out of his sorrow.
He looked up at the sky; at this moment, the east had already revealed a hint of dawn. As the sun rose, morning light filtered through the branches, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
From midnight to dawn, Ye Tian had unknowingly been lost in thought for quite some time.
"Wang Weiyang! This grudge will not end until one of us is dead!"
Clenching his teeth, Ye Tian cast a cold gaze towards the distance where the Wang family resided.
After watching for a while, until the sunlight became somewhat glaring, Ye Tian finally withdrew his gaze and slowly walked towards the Forest Edge.
He walked in silence until he reached the edge of the forest, where he could faintly hear the crowing of roosters from the market.
Ye Tian let out a gentle breath, adjusted his slightly disheveled clothes from the battle, and looked around. After confirming that no one was paying attention, he stepped onto the street.
At this moment, the early morning light gradually brightened, shifting from a pale white to an orange hue, casting a hazy glow.
Ye Tian glanced back at Peach Willow Grove behind him, which had somehow become shrouded in a thin mist. Under this mist, everything appeared blurred.
Vendors on both sides of the street were energetically calling out, adhering to the principle that the early bird catches the worm.
“Steamed buns! Hot meat buns! Thin skin and generous filling!”
“Steamed Flatbread! Delicious Steamed Flatbread! Three copper coins each, great value!”
The vendors were all spirited; the battle that had occurred last night was not far away, yet it seemed to have not disturbed their sweet dreams.
Watching these simple people who had so few worries and seemingly no hatred, Ye Tian saw them as ordinary individuals laboring for their lives and hustling for their families...
Ye Tian let out a soft sigh and clenched his fists tightly.
Bang!
A surge of energy erupted with a muffled sound.
“Heh, what good is this...”
He lowered his head slightly. If he could choose, he would absolutely be willing to give up all his martial arts skills, preferring to bring Wang Hu back to life, to revive Xu Ao, and to have never entered the Cold Family. All of this would be worth it just to receive a single glance from his mother.
However, Ye Tian's life was destined to be this way. The trees wish for calm, but the wind does not cease; the child wishes to be filial, but the parents are no longer there. This endless hatred forced him to constantly grow stronger. Only in that way could all those he cared about and who cared for him be protected and live better lives.
"I have never been an ordinary person..." Ye Tian stared blankly at the busy people on both sides of the street. They worked hard, but their lives were simple.
It seemed he had always lived in two different worlds from them.
Since he could remember, he had never seen his father, who left behind the Spiritual Treasure Compendium and the Heavenly Fire Heart Furnace...
Since he could remember, his mother had been gentle and kind, yet burdened with illness, but she was able to fend off Xu Ao and Wang Weiyang on her own...
Since he could remember, he had been oppressed by others, constantly forced to bear hatred...
"Father, Mother, what kind of identities do you have, and what kind of journey will I embark on in the future..."
Ye Tian's gaze flickered as he looked far into the horizon where the rosy clouds met the sky, his heart stirred with emotion.

I suddenly realized that I missed a chapter; I only discovered today that it was Chapter Fifty-Eight. It has now been added back, so you can look back at it. I sincerely apologize for this oversight.
