Nine Yang Life and Death Transformation

The elegant princess gently raised her hand and tapped the cabinet in front of her three times with her knuckles. As the crisp tapping sound rang out, the cabinet, which had been standing quietly, began to slowly move.

To everyone's astonishment, a crack slowly appeared behind the cabinet, and then a woman dressed in plain clothes cautiously stepped out. Even more shockingly, this woman was tightly cradling an infant in her arms!

The atmosphere in the room became unusually tense and mysterious. The princess and the woman exchanged a glance, then silently swapped the infants they were holding. The princess then turned to a maid named Li Ling and, without hesitation, pulled several thick wads of silver notes from her sleeve and handed them to her. Next, the princess opened an exquisite box beside her, took out a brightly colored, crystal-clear blood jade bead, and quickly stuffed it into Wu Feilong's mouth.

In an instant, Wu Feilong seemed to have something blocking his throat; his mouth opened wide, but no sound came out. Extreme terror and pain caused him to wail uncontrollably, his cries echoing throughout the room, evoking pity in those who heard them.

At the same time, Li Ming, who had been waiting outside the door, reported loudly, "Your Highness, all the villains have been subdued and killed." Upon hearing this news, the princess nodded slightly, a satisfied look on her face, and said, "Very good. You all stay outside and do not allow anyone to enter without my order."

Upon receiving the instructions, Li Ming respectfully responded and then led his men to continue guarding the door. At this moment, the princess turned her head and looked at the woman holding the baby again, her eyes filled with majesty and indifference. She forcefully pushed the woman back into the cabinet and coldly warned, "Get out of here through the secret passage immediately, and don't ever appear before me again. Remember, you must do things cleanly and efficiently, leaving no trace."

The woman nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would certainly do as the princess instructed. After speaking, she hugged Wu Feilong tightly and turned to disappear into the secret passage…

Wu Feilong heard all of this clearly and thought that if they killed him, he had to find a way to escape, otherwise he would die here right after transmigrating.

The Blood Jade Bead was like a greedy demon, frantically absorbing Wu Feilong's life force with an almost frenzied pace. Wu Feilong's face grew increasingly pale, his once rosy complexion now seemingly devoid of all color, and his body grew weaker and weaker, swaying precariously.

Meanwhile, a golden dragon pearl was roaming throughout his body, trying to resist the ferocious blood jade pearl. However, the blood jade pearl was like an unfathomable black hole, relentlessly devouring the dragon pearl no matter how much it struggled and resisted.

Wu Feilong cursed inwardly, "That damned golden dragon is so stingy! It won't even give me a slightly more powerful dragon pearl!" As if hearing his inner grumbling, the dragon pearl suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden light, so intense that it was impossible to look directly at it. But even so, after a fierce battle with the Blood Jade Pearl, it was ultimately devoured mercilessly, and both pearls vanished without a trace from his body.

Li Ling held Wu Feilong tightly as they ran out of the secret passage and finally arrived at a secluded grove of trees. She looked around and realized they were far from the palace, and completely deserted. She slowly crouched down and pulled a sharp dagger from her bosom. The cold moonlight shone on the dagger, reflecting a gleaming, icy light.

Just as Li Ling was about to strike with her sword, Wu Feilong suddenly stretched out his tiny hands and called out in a childish voice, "Mommy, hug me..." The woman was stunned. She stared blankly at the child who was only a few months old, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief. How could such a small child possibly speak?

Seeing that his cries had an effect, Wu Feilong immediately burst into tears, two crystal tears sliding down his cheeks. Li Ling looked at the crying child in her arms, her heart softening instantly. After hesitating for a long time, she finally threw away the dagger she was clutching, then gently pulled Wu Feilong into her arms and said tenderly, "Don't cry. From now on, you are my son."

Li Ling hugged him tightly and ran along as fast as she could. Wu Feilong was very quiet and didn't cry. He must have been too tired earlier and had fallen into a deep sleep, lying in her warm embrace.

Before long, they arrived at a wooden cabin in the suburbs. Li Ling tiptoed inside, gently placed the sleeping child in her arms on the bed, and then began to methodically tidy up her things. Night deepened, but she dared not slacken her efforts, continuing to work in the cabin until the first light of dawn appeared.

Taking advantage of the early morning light, Li Ling went out and bought a carriage. She carefully carried Wu Feilong into the carriage, settled him in, and then cracked the whip, slowly driving the carriage out of the capital. Wu Feilong slept soundly the whole way, completely unaware of everything happening around him.

After an unknown amount of time, Wu Feilong finally awoke. He smacked his lips, clearly starving. Li Ling quickly fed him some milk, which the little guy wolfed down. After eating and drinking his fill, Wu Feilong regained some of his energy. However, his mind was a turmoil of emotions, like a stampede of horses and countless alpacas galloping through his body. He had been overjoyed, believing he had transmigrated into a prince's palace and could now live a carefree life as a young prince. But who could have imagined that fate would be so cruel, almost costing him his life in his infancy!

And so, the carriage swayed and rattled along for more than half a month before finally arriving in Ankang County. The family settled down there, and their days were peaceful and warm.

Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Now, there are four people in the family: Wu Feilong, Li Ling, and Li Ling's own son, Sun Wang. Sun Wang is one year older than Wu Feilong, and the two brothers get along well and have a deep bond. Since Wu Feilong changed his name to Sun Kang, Li Ling has always treated him as her own son, caring for him deeply and loving him dearly, hoping only that he can grow up safely and healthily.

On this day, a burly man with muscles all over his body came to the town. He held a gong in his hand, and while hitting it vigorously, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Fellow villagers, come and see! Today is the great day for our Iron Gate to recruit disciples. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Don't miss it!"

"Brother, let's go take a look!" Wu Feilong excitedly tugged at Sun Wang's sleeve and rushed towards the crowd. Inspired by his enthusiasm, Sun Wang had no choice but to quicken his pace and follow.

Gradually, a large crowd surged forward like a tide, completely surrounding the center. A burly man with bulging muscles stood in the middle, seemingly unconcerned by the stares of those around him. He deftly removed his shirt, revealing a physique of bronze-like muscles that gleamed healthily in the sunlight. The man spoke in a booming voice, "Hello everyone! My name is Tiesheng. If you're willing to join our Iron Gate, given time, you'll definitely become as strong and robust as me!"

However, his words didn't interest everyone. Some women, seeing Tiesheng's bare upper body, blushed with embarrassment and turned away, covering their faces; others scoffed at him, disdainfully saying, "Hmph, just a blacksmith, what's so great about him!" Another voice chimed in, "I bet you're only at the third level of Body Tempering, yet you're showing off like this, you really don't know your place!" Still others directly mocked, "Tch, nothing special!"
