Chapter 296: What Sect?
Spiritual Rhyme Dao Body.
Chen An was not unfamiliar with these four words. In his first life, Luo Cong’an relied on this exceptionally powerful physique to be discovered by an Immortal and brought back to a sect. After that, there was no news for more than ten years.
However, Chen An didn’t blame her. After all, Immortals and mortals were different. Once one stepped onto the path of Immortality, decades or even centuries could pass in the flick of a finger. Moreover, he knew in his heart that Luo Cong’an would likely only return when he died.
But that was all in the distant past. Chen An withdrew his wandering thoughts and gazed at the person before him. The maiden’s attire was striking: a stunning crimson long dress. The world was a vast expanse of white, and only this splash of crimson added a breathtaking beauty to it.
She did not land on the ground but floated in mid-air. Thus, Chen An’s gaze inevitably fell upon her bare feet. The maiden in the red dress seemed to sense the boy’s gaze. Her expression faltered for a moment, then the corners of her lips curled up, revealing a playful smile. Instead of dodging, she channeled her spiritual energy and deliberately moved closer.
Her fair, tender feet were almost within reach of Chen An’s face. Her jade-like feet were delicate, her skin crystal clear. The faint bluish veins were clearly visible, as if imbued with some sort of magic that held one’s gaze captive. Chen An stood stunned for a moment. Before he could react, Mu Sanniang, standing beside him, tugged at his clothes and pulled him aside.
Then, Mu Sanniang stepped forward, shielding him. The girl stared intently at the maiden who had suddenly appeared, her small face filled with vigilance. Was this person a human or a ghost? Or perhaps, one of those legendary Immortal Masters? Mu Sanniang wasn’t sure. All she knew was that the other party kept staring at her younger brother with that provocative, roguish expression. This made Mu Sanniang feel deeply uncomfortable. It was like finally finding the most delicious cookie in the world, only to have someone else see it and try to take a bite. The girl’s small actions did not escape the notice of the maiden in the red dress. Her gaze landed on Mu Sanniang, and with her hand lightly covering her red lips, she chuckled, “Don’t be nervous, little girl. Sister isn’t a bad person.” Her voice was melodious and pleasant, like clear spring water melting from a snow-capped mountain. Hearing this, Chen An silently scoffed in his heart. Whether she was good or bad, she was likely not a decent person! Mu Sanniang remained silent, simply standing in front of Chen An without a word. Although she had witnessed much darkness in the world and experienced its hardships, she was only eleven or twelve years old and naturally felt overwhelmed by the current situation. After all, this suddenly appearing maiden was clearly not someone to be treated with ordinary logic.
Chen An certainly wouldn’t let Mu Sanniang face this alone. He grabbed the girl’s small hand and stepped forward. “Sister,” he called out softly. Mu Sanniang turned to look at him, and Chen An shook his head slightly, indicating that he would handle it. Then, he looked at the maiden floating in mid-air, a harmless smile gracing his exquisitely carved face. “Fairy Sister, excuse me, are you the Immortal from Yunji Town?” Chen An asked this because he realized they were not far from Yunji Town, and combined with the maiden’s obvious immortal means, it was hard not to connect the two. The maiden in the red dress was taken aback by his question, and the smile on her face suddenly became somewhat strange. She didn’t rush to answer Chen An’s question but instead asked, “Are you planning to seek immortality and enlightenment in Yunji Town?” Seeing the boy nod obediently and affirm. Her smile grew even more pronounced. The maiden in the red dress extended a jade finger, her wrist smooth and fair. She gently lifted the boy’s chin, her charming eyes roaming over his face. She teased, “Those from the Tai Xuan Sect are all stubborn blockheads, unwilling to adapt, only knowing how to stick to old rules. What’s the point of going there?” “Why not come with Sister? I can take you sightseeing and let you experience the world’s wonders.” As she said this, a subtle light flashed in her eyes, and her voice began to grow soft and seductive. “When you’re older and understand desire, and want to taste what it’s like to be with a woman, Sister can even catch a few so-called righteous Immortals for you to play with…” The maiden in the red dress spoke, her voice gradually lowering. This was because she noticed that the boy before her still had clear eyes, completely unaffected by her charm. This was undoubtedly abnormal. As the current Saintess of the Great Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Harmony Sect, Jiang Qiuchi’s cultivation was by no means inferior to those of the righteous Heavenly Talents. Moreover, the target of her charm technique was merely a child under ten years old? Hadn’t the bald monk, who claimed to have a firm mind, almost fallen into a desperate situation, unable to extricate himself? If not for that censer staff then, she would have likely shaved off his tonsure by now and used it as a ball to kick. So, how was this little boy before her able to maintain a clear mind? Jiang Qiuchi narrowed her eyes, her curiosity deepening. Beside him, Mu Sanniang’s heart tightened instinctively upon hearing the words spoken by the maiden in the red dress. Her hands, hanging by her sides, unconsciously clenched, her fingertips turning white. Without a doubt, setting aside the truthfulness of the words, upon hearing such a speech, any man would find it hard to refuse. Although she knew her brother was not that kind of person, she quickly looked at him, wanting to know his reaction. The next moment, she saw Chen An take a step back, clear his throat, and politely refuse, “Uh, Fairy Sister, I appreciate your kind offer, but no need to trouble you…” At the same time, Chen An’s mind was racing. He had keenly caught the mention of “Tai Xuan Sect.” Coupled with the maiden’s clear intention not to hide it, it was easy to guess. The Tai Xuan Sect should be the Immortal Sect that recruits disciples on South Mountain. However, judging by her words, this maiden seemed extremely dangerous! Chen An thought to himself, he knew that encountering a dilapidated temple halfway through usually meant no good. But he wasn’t venturing through deep mountains and old forests, so why did he still run into this? Before Chen An could think further, he heard the maiden in the red dress speak again. Seeing that her charm technique had no effect, she abandoned her captivating demeanor. However, the inherent charm in her bones was still undeniable. The maiden’s expression became slightly more serious as she spoke sternly, “Little one, if you wish to seek immortality and enlightenment, an immortal destiny now lies before you.” She tilted her delicate chin, her tone carrying a hint of arrogance. “I can accept you as a personal disciple on behalf of my master, into my Great Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Harmony Sect!” The sect’s name was a mouthful, leaving Chen An stunned. He subconsciously asked, “What sect?” “Great Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Harmony Sect!” the maiden repeated. The boy’s expression changed, and he blurted out, “Isn’t that the Joyful Union Sect?!” The maiden in the red dress twitched her eyelids, suppressing the urge to punch him, and corrected, “It’s the Great Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Harmony Sect!” A group has been created recently, check the description to join directly, or you can find the pinned post in the comment section.
