The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Cangyue Country's Nanlai Paradise

The river shimmered at night like a shining silver ribbon, glittering in the darkness. The men on the riverbank brandished their swords, each strike fierce.

Li Ye was pulling a horse, followed by three others. He looked at the people by the river, bewildered. "Brother-in-law? What the hell are you talking about?"

Jiuyou said: "Practice martial arts."

"Huh?" Li Ye was even more confused. "I saw you and your elder sister practicing here for over an hour this evening. Are you still practicing?"

Jiuyou began to practice while replying: "Diligence can make up for lack of talent. Senior sister has recovered her internal strength. Her martial arts progress is too fast. I must work hard."

"Senior Feng said that the eldest sister is a rare martial arts genius. It is reasonable that you cannot compete with her. Don't push yourself too hard. I'm leaving first." Li Ye pulled the horse back home.

Half an hour later, Jiuyou finally stopped, holding his hand over his heart, muttering to himself, "Why is it still beating so violently? My concentration was so good before, why has it declined now?"

Another quarter of an hour passed before Jiuyou returned to his room. He was startled when he entered the room: "Senior Sister? Why did you come out?"

"Mengmeng said you were not in the room, so I came out to see where you went. It's late at night, and I have reason to suspect that you went to meet your lover, right?" Ye Ling asked with a suppressed smile.

"Senior Sister, there are only two women here. Where can I go to meet my lover?" Jiu You was helpless and didn't dare to look Ye Ling in the eye while speaking.

"Nonsense, there are obviously four women."

"Two children count, too? Senior Sister, be obedient and go to sleep!"

"I don't..." Ye Ling went straight to the bed: "I'm going to sleep here tonight."

Jiuyou glanced at Ye Ling secretly: "Then...then I will sleep in the space."

"No," Ye Ling still disagreed and patted the bed: "Come up and sleep."

"I can't do this..." Jiuyou's heart was pounding, feeling that his words were not in line with his heart. Although he said it was not possible, he felt a little hopeful in his heart: "Senior Sister, please go in and sleep quickly, I beg you."

Ye Ling had a headache: "Jiuyou, I'm giving you one last chance. Either you go to bed, or... from tomorrow on, we'll live our own lives. You can sleep on the newly built second floor."

Jiuyou lost his composure when he heard this. If it were before, he would definitely go to sleep on the second floor on the left, but now he was reluctant to do so. After thinking for a long time, he walked to the screen and began to untie his belt.

Ye Ling suppressed a satisfied laugh: Mengmeng, see, you lost and I won. You must accept the bet and make a solar lamp for me immediately, otherwise, I will hang you up and beat you.

"Master," Meng Meng said, feeling somewhat regretful, "Who knew he would actually agree to sleep in the same bed with you? I'll accept the bet and complete the first solar lamp within three days. But, Master, are you really planning to dedicate yourself to Jiuyou?"

Before Ye Ling could answer, Wan Qi's scream suddenly came from outside: "Ah~ There's a monster, help!"

Jiuyou immediately picked up the sword and rushed out. Ye Ling also hurriedly put on his clothes. Everyone on the first floor came out.

Wanqi and Bamei ran in from the small door holding lanterns. Wanqi was terrified and quickly said to the first person she saw: "Brother Bai, there's a monster! There's a monster over there in the toilet."

"It's okay, it's okay," Bai Lang quickly comforted: "Brother will go and take a look, you guys go back to your room."

At this moment, Jiuyou had already arrived in front of the toilet, looking at the so-called monster, speechless.

"Brother-in-law, what is that?" Li Ye walked while putting on his clothes.

"Isn't this the scarecrow made by Miss Bai Tian Ye? She said it was used in the orchard to scare the birds. How come it is here?" said White Wolf.

"This is a failed project." Ye Ling also came: "Li Ye, go and bring Wanqi and Eighth Sister over."

"Okay," Li also left.

Then the two children were brought in. Ye Ling pointed at the scarecrow and said, "Is this a monster? Are you two stupid? We made this thing together this afternoon and put it here. We agreed to finish it tomorrow. How did it become a monster?"

Wanqi was a little embarrassed: "Sister, I... didn't see it clearly, and I forgot about the scarecrow."

"Sister Ye...Sister Ye, Sister Wanqi is injured," the eighth sister said with courage.

"What?" The adults became anxious.

Li Ye quickly picked up Wanqi and took her back to the room. The others also returned to the yard. Jiuyou took the scarecrow a little further away.

Wanqi's calf was injured by a stone on the ground after she fell and was bleeding. She was so scared that she didn't dare to say anything at the first time.

After all this trouble, no one was sleepy anymore. Several men were chatting in the pavilion in the yard, while Ye Ling and Qian Qing were treating Wan Qi's wounds in the house.

After a busy period, Wanqi's leg was bandaged, and Ye Ling left the room: "Gentlemen, it's getting late, go to bed!"

"How is Wanqi?" Li Ye asked.

"The wound is a bit deep. To prevent her from having a fever or any problems at night, Wanqi will sleep in my room tonight. You all should go to bed quickly!"

After Ye Ling finished speaking, Jiuyou went into the room and carried Wanqi upstairs.

Qianqing cleaned up the mess and then told Eighth Sister: "Hurry up and rest! There are no monsters."

"Thank you, Sister Qianqing, I know." The eighth sister was really not afraid. Compared to the cowshed where she had slept since she was a child, here she was treated like a princess and there was nothing to be afraid of.

Ye Ling settled Wanqi down and put Jiuyou into the space. She had to sleep outside to accompany Wanqi tonight.

Inside the space, Meng Meng looked at Jiu You with a face full of resentment: "Men are unreliable."

"What's wrong with me?" Jiuyou was puzzled.

Meng Meng pouted, "My Master truly loves you and wants to sleep with you, so why are you resisting? Is there someone else in your heart? Don't make excuses for me. Now everyone outside knows that you and Master live together. You are husband and wife in name only, not in reality. Do you think it's fair to Master? You, a grown man, don't take the initiative, and you expect my Master to throw himself into your arms and ask for a hug. That's too much."

"I…"

"Don't explain," Meng Meng didn't want to listen. "I put a book under your pillow on your bed. You should study it when you have time. I don't know if you really don't know how to do it, or if you're just pretending, humph!"

Mengmeng flew away, leaving Jiuyou with a puzzled look, not knowing what was wrong. He finally came to the conclusion: a palm-sized elf knows nothing. He entered the room, took a look at the pornographic book Mengmeng had given him, and threw it directly into the trash can.

The second half of the night was very quiet. Wanqi did not have a fever. After she fell asleep, Ye Ling asked the space operating bed to check the wound. He was relieved to find that everything was normal.

The next day, Ye Ling suddenly had an idea and wanted to find Jiuyou, Bailang and Li Ye to fight with her, three against one.

Xue Jingchuan disagreed a bit: "Lady Ye, Jiuyou had a duel with Bailang the day before yesterday, and he won. That shows how powerful his martial arts are. You can just fight him!"

"I can't beat my senior sister," Jiuyou said honestly.

"Then send two first, and let Bailang and Jiuyou go. If we can't defeat them, add more people."

"That's a good idea, it's you two."

"Why not Li Ye?" Bai Lang questioned.

"My martial arts skills are the worst. I can't even last ten moves against my elder sister. It's meaningless." Li is very self-aware.

"Stop talking nonsense, Bai Lang, it's just you two, let's get started!" Ye Ling just wanted to see how far his martial arts skills had reached.

Jiuyou and Bailang exchanged a tacit glance before simultaneously attacking Yeling. Jiuyou, like a ghost, instantly appeared behind Yeling, thrusting his sword straight at him. Yeling reacted quickly, dodging to the side and simultaneously counterattacking with a backhanded strike, blocking Bailang's attack.

White Wolf's swordsmanship was fierce and powerful, each strike carrying a whirring sound. Ye Ling used his twin swords as a shield, skillfully neutralizing White Wolf's attacks. Jiu You, on the side, watched for opportunities, occasionally stabbing with a sword, leaving Ye Ling defenseless.

The three of them fought back and forth, and the fight was difficult to determine. After dozens of moves, Ye Ling was clearly gaining the upper hand. If she had not shown mercy, Bai Lang would have been injured long ago.

Xue Jingchuan and Li Ye were stunned. Li Ye whispered, "Eldest sister's martial arts progress is too fast, isn't it? She damaged her internal energy saving Jiuyou before, but I never thought she would recover so quickly. She's even more powerful than before."

"I have seen the future ruler of the martial arts world, the number one on the Langya List," said Xue Jingchuan.

"You're right, Bai Lang's martial arts skills are not weak, not to mention Jiu You, but neither of them can gain any advantage at all."

"Not only can we not gain any advantage, if it was a life-and-death fight, Bai Lang would have died long ago. It's a pity that I can't use my internal force, otherwise I could help her try out my martial arts," said Xue Jingchuan.

"You are better than me, I am just cannon fodder," Li Ye said with a smile.

Just as the two were chatting, Ye Ling performed a roundhouse kick, forcing Jiuyou and Bailang to retreat, and the competition ended.

Xue Jingchuan clapped his hands and said, "If it weren't for the duel, you two would have died several times."

Bai Lang looked at Ye Ling in disbelief: "Miss Ye, I haven't seen you practice much, how come you're growing so fast?"

"Extraordinarily gifted," Ye Ling said with a smile. In fact, she practiced martial arts in the space training room every day, but she just couldn't say it.

"He is indeed gifted." Li also said: "Eldest sister, I don't need to fight, because it's useless to add me."

Ye Ling nodded and looked at Xue Jingchuan: "Tell me, can I win this time when I challenge Nangong Chen?"

Xue Jingchuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll practice for another month during this safe period. By the end of May, I'll be ready."

Ye Ling smiled happily. For herself and for the damn space, she had to do something big, because she found that every time her ranking on the Langya List improved, the space would gain many new and interesting functions.

Looking at the silent person, Xue Jingchuan spoke again: "Wait a month, I can also use internal force, then the four of us will test your martial arts together to ensure that the challenge is successful in one go."

"That's right, Miss Ye, if you can easily defeat the four of us, then there will be no problem," said Bai Lang.

"Reliable." Ye Ling sat down and took a bite of a fruit. "I'll leave the mountain in a month. If you don't want to, you can stay. Li Ye and Qian Qing are here, so you guys can still have a lot of fun. I'm going out to spar with Nangong Chen first, and then go to Langya Pavilion to watch my sister-in-law give birth."

"Let me go out with you! Some things have to be faced. It's no use hiding them all the time."

"It's up to you. Anyway, my place is always open to you, but you still can't know the way in and out."

"You are the head of the family, you have the final say"

"Haha..." Laughter came from the riverside. Everyone got along very well this month.
