81: After the Legend of the Condor Heroes ended, I brought three women back to the modern era!

Just as the morning bell of Xiangyang City tolled three times, the Commanders Residence courtyard erupted in chaos—Hua Zheng was wielding her newly sharpened Scimitar, chasing Xie Hui around a stone table. Her riding boots clattered "dada" on the flagstones as she yelled, "Big Brother Xie Hui, you lied! You promised to take us back to the modern era after defeating the Jin Soldiers, and now you want to back out?"

Xie Hui clutched the modern backpack in his arms with one hand and blocked Hua Zheng's blade with the other, shouting breathlessly, "I'm not backing out! Don't we have to wait for Great Hero Guo to settle the affairs of Xiangyang? Besides, my small universe needs to preheat. If during the Transmigration, your riding boots, stockings, or cloth shoes get shaken off, wouldn't you hack me with your Scimitar?"

Huang Rong leaned against the door frame, smiling, fiddling with the Flashlight Xie Hui gave her. The cuff of a pale pink stocking peeked out from beneath her skirt. "You're just trying to stall! Yesterday, I saw you secretly packing modern clothes. Don't think I don't know you want to hog the quota for returning to the modern era."

Mu Nianci stood nearby, holding the new cloth shoes she made for Xie Hui, and gently advised, "Sister Hua Zheng, stop fooling around. Big Brother Xie Hui surely has his plans." Just as she finished speaking, Guo Jing rushed in, holding a blood-stained letter. "Brother Xie, this is bad! Wanyan Honglie's remnants have allied with the Western Regions Assassins and plan to fight us to the death at Shilipo, ten li outside the city. They also threatened to burn Xiangyang City!"

The laughter in the courtyard instantly vanished. Hua Zheng put away her Scimitar, her gaze sharp. "Perfect! I haven't settled the score with the Western Regions Assassins yet. This time, I must chop up their Skull Staffs!"

Xie Hui placed the backpack on the stone table and pulled out the modern tactical vest inside. "Don't be rash! The Western Regions Assassins use poison, so we must be prepared. Hua Zheng, take the Prairie Brothers and use fire oil bombs to blast their cavalry; Huang Rong, use smoke bombs for cover and distribute the Detoxification Pills to the men; Nianci, you protect the Civilians with me. We'll divide the tasks clearly and aim for a quick victory!"

Just as they were about to leave, Yang Kang suddenly ran over, gripping his sword. "Big Brother Xie, I want to go too! I want to atone for my crimes by rendering meritorious service and protecting the Civilians of Xiangyang City!"

Xie Hui looked at the determination in his eyes and nodded in agreement. "Alright! But remember, if you dare to betray us again this time, I will use modern handcuffs to lock you onto the Xiangyang City Wall, ensuring you can never leave for the rest of your life!"

Yang Kang nodded vigorously and followed the group out of the city. On Shilipo, the Jin Soldiers and Western Regions Assassins had already set up their formation. Wanyan Honglie sat on his horse, holding a black box. "Xie Hui, today I will turn you and Xiangyang City into ashes!" He spoke, then opened the box, which actually contained a dynamite fuse!

"Oh no! He's going to blow up the mountain!" Xie Hui yelled, pressing Time Stop. He rushed over, snatched the box, and pulled Hua Zheng, Huang Rong, and Mu Nianci to a safe area. When time resumed flowing, Wanyan Honglie looked at his empty hands and screamed furiously, "You... you use Demonic Technique!"

"This isn't Demonic Technique; it's a skill you've never seen!" Xie Hui laughed, holding up the box. "Did you think you could win with dynamite? Today, I'll show you the power of modern technology!" He then pulled a signal flare gun from his backpack and fired a shot into the sky with a "bang"—a red signal flare burst open above, which was the agreed-upon attack signal.

Hua Zheng immediately led the Prairie Brothers to charge forward. fire oil bombs whistled as they were thrown towards the Jin Soldiers' cavalry, instantly erupting into raging flames. Huang Rong also threw smoke bombs; white smoke spread out, causing the Jin Soldiers and Western Regions Assassins to fall into immediate disarray. Mu Nianci, meanwhile, guided the Civilians toward the safe area, occasionally knocking down charging Jin Soldiers using the brass knuckles Xie Hui had given her.

Xie Hui and Yang Kang fought the Western Regions Assassins together. Xie Hui used a short staff to entangle the assassins' staffs, and Yang Kang seized the opportunity to cut off their poison sacs with his sword. After a fierce battle, the Jin Soldiers and Western Regions Assassins were finally defeated, and Wanyan Honglie was cleaved off his horse by Hua Zheng's Scimitar, dying on the spot.

Returning to Xiangyang City, the Civilians rushed into the streets, cheering joyfully. Guo Jing held Xie Hui's hand, his eyes filled with gratitude. "Brother Xie, we owe you so much this time; otherwise, Xiangyang City would have been finished. If you are willing to stay, I will guard Xiangyang with you!"

Xie Hui shook his head and took three modern jade pendants from his pocket. "Great Hero Guo, I don't belong to this world. I must take Hua Zheng, Huang Rong, and Nianci back to the modern era. I give you these jade pendants as a memento of our time together."

Hua Zheng looked at Xie Hui, her eyes full of anticipation. "Big Brother Xie Hui, are we leaving now? I still want to see the Electric Lights and Television you talked about!"

Huang Rong also came closer. "That's right! I want to try the Hamburgers and Coke you mentioned, and see if they taste better than beggars chicken."

Mu Nianci said softly, "I... I want to see modern clothes, and see if they are more comfortable than the cloth shoes I made."

Xie Hui smiled and nodded, pulling out a silver badge from his pocket—this was the key to starting the Transmigration. "Are you ready? We're going home!" As he spoke, he pressed the button on the badge, and a white light enveloped the four of them.

Guo Jing and Yang Kang stood rooted to the spot, watching the white light gradually disappear, their eyes full of reluctance. Inside the white light, Xie Hui was joking with the three women: "Don't run around when you get to the modern era, or if you get arrested as ancient people, I won't be able to save you!"

Hua Zheng laughed and playfully punched him. "Don't worry! I have my Scimitar. If anyone dares to arrest me, I'll chop them!"

Huang Rong also said, "I also have smoke bombs. Even if I get caught, I can seize the chance to escape!"

Mu Nianci said gently, "I will stay by your side; I won't run around."

The white light gradually dispersed, and the figures of the four vanished above Xiangyang City. In the Modern World, a white light suddenly flashed in Xie Hui's Rental House—Hua Zheng, Huang Rong, and Mu Nianci looked at the Electric Lights and Television before them, their eyes full of surprise.

"Is this the modern era?" Hua Zheng reached out and touched the Electric Light. "Why is this thing so bright? It's brighter than the moon over the prairie!"

Huang Rong moved closer to the Television, looking at the images inside. "How are there people inside this? Are they locked up in there?"

Mu Nianci looked at the Wooden Floor and whispered, "This floor is so clean, smoother than the flagstones in Xiangyang City."

Xie Hui laughed, opened the Refrigerator, and handed them Cokes. "Stop being surprised. You'll have plenty of time to look around later. Come on, I'm taking you to eat Hamburgers and buy you modern clothes. Our new life starts now!"

The three women followed Xie Hui out of the Rental House, looking at the bustling streets outside, their eyes full of curiosity and anticipation. Meanwhile, in Xiangyang City in the condor heroes world, Guo Jing was leading the Civilians in rebuilding their homes, and Yang Kang was also trying hard to make up for his mistakes. Everything was developing in a positive direction.
