"You are on a path to your own demise!"
Vina Night bellowed in rage, his eyes bloodshot and hands clenched into tight fists, the knuckles turning pale from the force exerted.
He had long lusted after the gentle mistress Fairy Miao Yuan, regarding her as his exclusive preserve and would not permit anyone else to defile her.
Yet now this stranger of unknown origins was about to take the beauty back before him, while he could only watch helplessly, powerless in the face of the current situation.
Because Fairy Miao Yuan's Dao Xing Realm was even more profound than his!
If this were not the case, he would have succeeded long ago, why else would he have waited bitterly until now?
At the same time, Yun Xiao Fairy, who had been secretly paying attention to the heart of the lake, spat lightly and her face flushed with a stunning blush.
"This junior nephew really dares to say anything, not afraid that his master would hear him."
As she spoke, she stood up and, with a slight shimmer, had already disappeared soundlessly out of the Wan Hua Palace and was heading toward the Tao Palace Secret Realm in the center of the Ruishui Lake from another direction.
Powerful Great Formations protected the perimeter of the Tao Palace Secret Realm, which even a venerable master like Vina Night would find difficult to disturb.
But Yun Xiao Fairy was confident.
She did not believe for a second that those formations could stop her.
...
Inside the Tao Palace Secret Realm in the heart of the lake, Yu Yuan was lead by a Flower Immortal to a grand and exquisite Immortal Palace.
"Master is waiting for you inside, Immortal, you may enter on your own."
With that, the Flower Immortal bowed respectfully and then turned to leave.
Yu Yuan sensed his surroundings, but there was not a whisper of sound, as if the entire Tao Palace Secret Realm was uninhabited.
He pondered thoughtfully for a moment, and in the end, he pushed open the palace doors and entered.
This was a luxurious bedroom, with majestic pillars and solemn and grand designs, meticulously carved beams and vibrant red carpets.
Within this glittering and resplendent palace, the bed draperies were as white as spring snow, and the area in front of the couch was stacked with pearls and jades, the sound of the zither echoing through this beautiful and magnificent hall.
However, what truly captured Yu Yuan's attention was the beautiful fairy in white, as captivating as any nation's beauty.
Her snow-white gown fluttered in the night breeze, light as a dancing elf, the pleated skirt trailing to the ground, and a slit at the knee revealing skin whiter than frost.
She was barefoot, her feet as white as snow, walking in the air with a golden ring wrapped around her right ankle. She looked as if a fairy had fallen from the silver moon, untouched by dust and untainted by the mundane world.
Yu Yuan frowned slightly; this gentle mistress gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Yet he was certain that he had never met her before, not just her appearance, but her aura too was very unfamiliar.
At this moment, Fairy Miao Yuan looked at Yu Yuan with a smile, her red lips parting lightly, "Do I look good?"
"Beautiful!" Yu Yuan answered without hesitation. "To behold Fairy's beauty is a rare sight in my life; I fear there is none more beautiful than Fairy in all of Primordial."
Fairy Miao Yuan's eyes danced with laughter, "You're lying... but I don't dislike it."
As she spoke, she slowly walked forward.
Her snow-white gown showcased her graceful figure to the fullest, her waist as supple as a water snake, her delicate legs clear and lustrous like jade.
Her demeanor was elegant, her expression tranquil, bathed in moonlight that accentuated every exquisite detail of her face, free from any flaw.
Approaching the table, she reached for the Jade Pot on it and poured herself a cup of Immortal Brew. However, instead of offering it to Yu Yuan, she lifted it to her lips and drank it down.
"Are you from the East?"
"East Sea, Yu Yuan."
Yu Yuan succinctly stated his origin, then stepped forward to take the Jade Pot from her hand and downed a mouthful directly.
Hmm, the taste was not bad.
Pity it wasn't poisoned.
"To hear of the recent rise to fame of the Jie Sect One Qi Immortal, said to be named Yu Yuan, could that be you?" Fairy Miao Yuan looked at Yu Yuan with a tinge of surprise, and upon seeing his lack of denial, she smiled charmingly and said,
"It is said the One Qi Immortal of Jie Sect has heavenly talent, and with just over a thousand years, he has cultivated an unparalleled physique, powerful enough to contend with Chan Sect Golden Immortals without falling behind!
I would not have expected such a personage who commands the winds and clouds to now appear before my eyes. I should take a good look while I have the chance. With your divine speed of cultivation, it won't be long before you could establish your own lineage.
Then, to see you again would become difficult."
Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow, quite enjoying this sugar-coated shell, he picked up the Immortal Brew and drank it down, then laughed heartily, "Fairy's wishes are kind, truly if such a day comes, I will certainly let you have your fill."
"I believe that day won't be far off." Fairy Miao Yuan's eyes were like water, her skin snow-white and translucent, shimmering with a lustrous jade glow under the crystal lamps, so beautiful that one could not look away.
"With Fairy's Dual Cultivation Technique to aid me, that day will surely arrive even sooner." Yu Yuan toasted her, intentionally going straight to the point.
Fairy Miao Yuan narrowed her eyes slightly, and while Yu Yuan was not paying attention, a hint of dangerous light flashed covertly in her eyes, and then she resumed her usual demeanor with a smile, saying:
"The key to the Dual Cultivation lies in mutual understanding and rapport. Since you and I have just met, we should learn more about each other so that we can achieve the best results during the Dual Cultivation."
While speaking, she raised her cup to invite him, her lips stained with wine, her cheeks more lovely and delicate than blooming flowers.
Yu Yuan nodded deeply in agreement, "Indeed, we should gain a deeper understanding of each other."
As night deepened, moonlight streamed in through crystal-clear windows into the Immortal Palace, casting an ethereal, dream-like glow.
Fairy Miao Yuan appeared to be overwhelmed by the effects of the wine, or perhaps she understood Yu Yuan's insinuation, her cheeks flushed and eyes slightly upset, she softly asked, "Then how do you propose we delve deeper?"
While she spoke, a slender silver needle appeared from thin air, silently aiming for the crown of Yu Yuan's head.
After reaching Great Success in physical cultivation, Yu Yuan's spiritual awareness had become extremely keen, and he noticed the anomaly instantly.
However, with a slight stir in his heart, he allowed the silver needle to penetrate his crown.
Even with his powerful physical body, the needle easily broke his skin, and a chill immediately swept down towards his Primordial Spirit.
The sensation was eerily familiar, much like the one from the "ring" on his finger.
The only difference was the intensity was much stronger, meaning that the needle was inflicting more significant damage to his Primordial Spirit.
This was clearly indicated by the continually updating information panel.
With a swift turn of his Divine Thought, Yu Yuan finally understood the source of this familiar feeling.
One of the Ten Great Demon Saints of the Demon Court, Qin Yuan Demon Saint!
She was still alive, and even more, she had taken on the guise of Fairy Miao Yuan to establish pleasure grounds in the western region of Niu He Zhou.
No wonder this place was filled with Flower Immortals, and there was even a Palace of Myriad Flowers!
No wonder that Venerable Vina Night did not dare to act rashly in this sensual retreat. Facing a Quasi-Saint powerhouse with his Dao Xing, he truly lacked the capacity to behave recklessly!
No wonder... she chose me just because of a single strand of hair!
No, that's not right!
For her, events from the past might have been centuries ago; even with her acute sense of smell, she could not possibly remember my scent... so does she have another agenda?
In a flash, he made a decision.
"Thump!"
A muffled sound was heard as Yu Yuan's tall figure collapsed limply to the ground.
Fairy Miao Yuan was very confident in her Daluo Divine Needle and casually checked Yu Yuan's condition before snorting disdainfully, "You still want to understand me deeper? Wishful thinking!"
Clearly, she thought that Yu Yuan's Primordial Spirit had been subdued and could no longer sense the external world, so she dropped her pretense.
After mocking him with a few words, she said softly, "I've captured the target, why aren't you coming over yet?"
After saying this, without any noticeable movement, her words appeared in the air and then quickly disappeared.
Yu Yuan, lying motionless on the table, had a slight movement in his heart, silently exclaiming, 'So there's an accomplice!'
He waited quietly for this "accomplice" to arrive, just like Fairy Miao Yuan.
However, after a long wait on both sides, there was still no sign of anyone.
Fairy Miao Yuan seemed to be getting impatient and grumbled to herself, "Where did that wretch go? Hmph, it was he who asked for my help, yet he is not taking this seriously... Oh well, I owe him a favor. Once I help him out this time, we'll be even."
She took out a scroll and looked at Yu Yuan, whispering, "Please forgive me for the offense today, I shall temporarily borrow the treasures on you."
Having said that, she reached out with her Divine Thought towards Yu Yuan, searching for something like a Hundred Treasure Bag.
With her cultivation, she quickly found Yu Yuan's Qiankun Ruyi Bag.
However, the treasure was hidden under his body and could not be retrieved by Divine Thought alone.
Fairy Miao Yuan furrowed her brow slightly and reached into his chest.
Just at that moment, Yu Yuan opened his eyes and teased, "Seems you're quite eager."
"You… How is this possible?"
Fairy Miao Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Yu Yuan.
Apart from Saints, in this world, no one could be unaffected by her Daluo Divine Needle, as if nothing happened; not even the most powerful Quasi-Saint could completely ignore it!
But this Yu Yuan... how could he have recovered by himself? Despite the Daluo Divine Needle still embedded in his head!
Surprised by this, she reacted swiftly, and without any visible movement, the Daluo Divine Needle on top of Yu Yuan's head suddenly glimmered with a faint pink light.
Immediately, an overwhelming myriad of desires flooded Yu Yuan's mind, and then... there was no after.
Under the effect of the Daluo Divine Needle, the more desires he produced, the colder his blood turned.
"This needle is not working anymore... Is it broken?"
Yu Yuan uttered, and under the shocked gaze of Fairy Miao Yuan, he pulled out the Daluo Divine Needle and with lightning speed, drove it back into her forehead…
