Senior brother is so awesome!

The following is the main text of the novel "{?$article_title?}" ({?$jieqi_title?}) provided by {?$jieqi_sitename?}. Please enjoy! After a long while, the two reluctantly let go of each other. Zhu Mingquan held her hand, and they strolled slowly through the woods in the warm afternoon breeze. Yang Shanshan suddenly remembered that a few days ago she had pressed him about the situation with the Mountain and River Map, and his silent response had angered her. She hadn't spoken to him for several days, thinking to herself, "I'm at a disadvantage. I surrendered without getting an apology from him… Sigh, what can I do? I wronged him…"

With tears still wet on her face, she pouted and asked, "Second Senior Brother, do you know where the Landscape Map is?" She had a feeling that this matter must be related to him.

Zhu Mingquan didn't expect her to ask about this, but he didn't intend to hide it from her anymore. He smiled and looked at her: "The landscape map was stolen down the mountain by the little thief Ling Zhao. It was snatched away halfway there. Senior Brother is sending people to search for it right now."

She noticed the slight upturn on his face and tried asking, "Then, Second Senior Brother, do you know the identity of the person who stole the Mountain and River Map?"

He gently pinched her nose, his beautiful eyes sparkling. "Don't worry, the Landscape Map won't fall into the hands of bad people."

Seeing that he was unwilling to talk about it, Yang Shanshan understood the implication and nodded with a smile, "What is that Landscape Painting? Is it a painting? Why is everyone treating it like a treasure?"

"The Mountain and River Map, as the name suggests, is a map of mountains and rivers. Legend has it that when the ancient god emperor was at the height of the ancient kingdom's prosperity, he hid a vast fortune for future use. However, after the god emperor passed away, his five sons fought for the throne but failed. They then each declared themselves king, dividing the ancient kingdom into five countries. Each of the five countries sent people to search for the treasure in order to dominate the continent. Hundreds of years have passed, but no one has found it. The Mountain and River Map is the legendary map that records the location of the treasure." He patiently explained it to her.

Yang Shanshan nodded thoughtfully. It was the ancient god emperor again. According to her fourth senior brother, the yellow-robed man she saw when she entered meditation was him. But what did she have to do with that god emperor? Why would she dream of him?

Seeing that her expression was different, Zhu Mingquan asked with concern, "Chan'er, what are you thinking about?"

She snapped out of her reverie, shook her head, and decided it was best not to say anything, lest her second senior brother think she was crazy...

At this moment, a figure stood five meters in front of the two. His dark purple python robe billowed in the wind, and his black hair flew wildly at his temples. He slowly raised his head, his icy gaze fixed on the two, his phoenix eyes revealing a boundless, dark ruthlessness...

It's him! It's Zhong Zhichen! What's he doing here? Yang Shanshan suddenly had an urge to run away, but at this moment, her legs were so weak she could barely stand. His eyes were terrifying...

Zhu Mingquan helped her up and looked up to meet his gaze. At this moment, he was completely devoid of gentleness, like a ferocious beast, staring directly at Zhong Zhichen with icy eyes.

After finishing his work, Zhong Zhichen's first priority was to go to Luoxue Pavilion to see the little girl. For some reason, he couldn't stop thinking about her—her shyly biting her lip, her appearance during orgasm. Whenever he thought of her, he couldn't concentrate on anything else. He rushed to Luoxue Pavilion. His maid said she had gone to the back mountain, so he came to find her as quickly as possible. Ha! This was the woman he had been thinking about all day? She actually dared to meet Zhu Mingquan in the back mountain while he was away? He wanted to kill her!

A deathly voice slowly escaped his lips, "Aren't you coming over here!"

Yang Shanshan felt frightened upon hearing this and subconsciously moved closer to her second senior brother. Her startled look made Zhu Mingquan smile gently. She still relied on him after all. "Chan'er is not yours, she doesn't need to listen to you." His words revealed a strong possessiveness.

Seeing her so dependent, Zhong Zhichen felt a surge of jealousy; he wanted nothing more than to kill the two people before him! His right hand instantly transformed into a claw, unleashing a black gust of wind as he swiftly attacked Zhu Mingquan! Zhu Mingquan forcefully shoved Yang Shanshan aside and stepped forward to meet the attack! Instantly, two figures, one in dark purple and the other in snow-white, clashed, leaving nothing but desolation in their wake!

Yang Shanshan stood by, extremely worried. She watched as Zhong Zhichen relentlessly attacked her vital points, while Zhu Mingquan barely managed to defend himself. Her heart was pounding in her chest. All she could do was shout, "Stop! Stop!" But her words were to no avail; instead, they only emboldened the two men to unleash even more deadly attacks.

Zhong Zhichen seized the opportunity and swept his palm towards Yang Shanshan, who was about to be injured. Just then, Zhu Mingquan rushed forward and blocked the fierce palm strike. He coughed up blood and slumped to the ground. Yang Shanshan was still unaware of the situation. When she saw him injured, she panicked and cried out, "Second Senior Brother!" Tears streamed down her face.

But her body was wrapped around her waist, held tightly in an impenetrable embrace. She struggled, "Let me go! Second Brother is injured, you devil, let me go!"

Zhong Zhichen leaned close to her ear, his voice cruel and cold: "If you want him dead, you can struggle all you want!"

"No, please let him go! It's all my fault, it has nothing to do with him!"

He gave a sinister smile, "Fine, then let's go back and properly punish your mistake." With that, his narrow eyes swept over the collapsed Zhu Mingquan on the ground, then he laughed loudly, grabbed her, and leaped down the mountain…

Inside the room, Zhong Zhichen threw her onto the bed, stood by the bed exuding a fierce aura, like a soul-reaper from hell, looking at her with cold eyes, but remained silent.

Yang Shanshan smoothed the goosebumps on her arm, unsure of what he was going to do. In novels, when a lustful woman cheats on her lover, shouldn't she be beaten or forced into sex? Just watching him like this made her feel uneasy…

After a while, she noticed that the murderous aura emanating from him was fading and slowly disappearing. His clenched fists slowly loosened, and his cold face broke into a smile as if ice had been broken—a bitter smile, though…

"What is it about me that I lack compared to the second prince? Even after you gave yourself to me, you still can't forget him?" He still smiled bitterly. The regent, who had always been so dashing and arrogant, suddenly changed, making Yang Shanshan's eyes widen in disbelief. Had this man damaged his brain? No, no, no, she must be hallucinating!

"You won't even talk to me anymore?" He braced himself on the bed and brought his handsome face closer. As he drew nearer, she finally realized that this wasn't just her imagination. But why was he doing this?

Yang Shanshan shook her head blankly, "I don't know what you're talking about?"

"Hehe," he leaned in and kissed her lips, looking at her affectionately, "Maybe you really are different now. What I want is not just your body, but also your heart."

She was stunned for a long time before finally managing to utter an "Oh".

Not wanting to make things difficult for her, Zhong Zhichen tried his best to appear understanding, saying, "I'll wait for you to sleep with me."
