Chapter: 296
The young man’s words carried a hint of disdain.
With a light leap, the red-dressed girl landed gracefully on her bare feet, pulling away from Chen An’s palm.
Her slender eyes curved into a smile, and her jade-like fingers touched her lips, her expression looking quite wronged.
“Seriously, you used to call me Fairy Sister, but now you just call me by my full name…”
Hearing this, Chen An raised an eyebrow and said without hesitation, “Heh heh, not calling you a vixen from the Joyous Union Sect is already being polite!”
Thinking about the harassment he’d endured from this vixen over the years, Chen An couldn’t help but want to pin her down and give her a good punishment.
Surprise attacks like today were already commonplace for him.
It was only in the last two years that Chen An’s cultivation had improved. In the preceding years, he had been completely at her mercy.
Not only did she resort to all sorts of pranks, threats, and enticements, but the boy was also ‘delicate and weak’ and unable to resist.
Humiliation.
It was simply humiliation.
Whenever he reminisced about the past, only this word remained in Chen An’s mind.
Beside him, hearing the young man’s words of disgust, Jiang Qiuchi didn’t get angry. She maintained her usual smiling demeanor.
It made one want to punch her.
At least Chen An had the urge to do so right now.
However, considering the vast difference in their strength, he could only indulge in the thought.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, Jiang Qiuchi had already condensed her Golden Core and was a true heavenly prodigy.
And she wasn’t some empty-headed individual with cultivation but no practical combat experience.
The reputation of the vixen from the Joyous Union Sect had likely spread all over the country long before Chen An was born.
Along with it came a string of infamy, such as being cunning, bullying men and women, and so on.
“Why do you look like you want to eat me alive?”
Her melodious voice fell as her red dress fluttered, and she quietly drifted in front of Chen An.
Seven years had passed, yet the girl’s beauty remained unchanged, as charming as ever.
Her every frown and smile seemed to possess a captivating magic that tugged at the heartstrings.
Even Chen An, with his full resistance, occasionally fell prey to it.
He turned his head, his expression cold, and said sternly, “I don’t have time to play your childish games today. Move aside.”
But the more the young man showed his displeasure, the more Jiang Qiuchi’s spirits rose.
A playful smile touched her lips, and she leaned closer, her eyes intently gazing at the young man.
“What if… I don’t?”
A sweet fragrance wafted through the air, making one’s mind swim.
Chen An frowned, “Don’t make way?”
He nodded and then turned around decisively, taking steps as if to leave.
He even muttered, “If you don’t make way, then so be it…”
But Jiang Qiuchi clearly had no intention of letting him go so easily.
With a gentle wave of her skilled hand, an invisible force latched onto Chen An’s body, pulling him back.
Her eyes sparkled, and she smiled charmingly.
“Don’t run, Sister isn’t a bad woman…”
“Sister just wants you to help me cultivate.”
These words made Chen An’s eyelids twitch, and he quickly said, “Wait, I really can’t today. I have to go find Sanniang later.”
He blurted it out.
Upon hearing this, the girl seemed stunned for a moment, then she smiled even more happily.
“Then wouldn’t that be even better?”
Her red sleeves fluttered, drawing the slender young man towards her.
Her face was exceptionally beautiful, her rosy thin lips slightly pursed, and strands of black hair fell from her forehead, framing her face.
Whether intentionally or not, the red dress on her shoulder slipped, revealing her fair and smooth skin beneath.
It also revealed a mysterious pattern above her chest.
The pattern extended outwards on both sides, resembling a butterfly with spread wings.
This was a sign of minor success in the Great Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Union Cultivation Technique.
However, the overall color of the butterfly was dim, indicating that there was still a long way to go.
Chen An’s eyes were inexplicably drawn to the butterfly, making it difficult to look away.
He then shook his head, silently chanting Mu Sanniang’s name a few times, his senses gradually returning to clarity.
The young man’s expression turned angry, and he reprimanded, “Vixen! This is the Inner Sect of my Tai Xuan Sect. If you act like this, aren’t you afraid of truly angering the elders of the Tai Xuan Sect and meeting your end?”
Jiang Qiuchi, however, was unfazed. She merely licked her lips, her eyes boldly roaming over Chen An, and said with a charming smile, “It’s okay, Sister has never been afraid of death…”
As she gazed at him, her eyes were filled with emotion, seemingly carrying a thousand nuances.
The next moment, her red sleeves swept up the young man, drawing him into her embrace.
Jiang Qiuchi lowered her head, her fair neck flushed with a hint of red.
Then, under the young man’s furious gaze, their lips met inevitably.
Even though this wasn’t the first time they had done such a thing.
Jiang Qiuchi’s heart was still racing.
The young man always exuded a pleasant scent that seemed to intoxicate her, making her body feel weak and powerless.
Just this single kiss made her cheeks flush and her skin feel hot.
Her eyes began to grow hazy, and she impatiently began to fantasize about future scenes.
Of course, taking the final step now would be too hasty.
Moreover, that old man from the Tai Xuan Sect would not allow them to reach that point so quickly.
The Great Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Union Cultivation Technique was a genuine dual cultivation technique, not some heretical art of harvesting yin or yang.
Everything emphasized a gradual process, and both parties cultivating the technique had to ensure they were pure of body.
However…
Doing some other things for now wouldn’t be a major issue.
With this thought, the girl’s breathing became slightly more rapid.
With a wave of her slender hand, the stone door of the cave mansion slowly closed.
Concealing the last glimpse of the spring scene that threatened to leak out.
…
…
At the foot of South Mountain, in Yunji Town.
As a town designated and protected by the Tai Xuan Sect, naturally, few dared to provoke it.
However, in a vast forest, over time, there would always be a few ignorant individuals who stumbled into the town, intending to commit evil deeds.
These were usually not great demons, but merely newly formed spirits or ghosts.
Ordinary Daoists, with some basic exorcism spells, could handle them.
However, in Yunji Town, such matters were always handled by true Immortal Masters.
Whenever strange occurrences happened in the town, they could be reported to the sect through the magical artifacts left by the Tai Xuan Sect.
Then, the sect would issue missions with small rewards, allowing interested disciples to descend and resolve them, thereby indirectly gaining experience.
Due to the generally simple nature of these missions, they were usually posted for outer disciples.
Those who accepted them were typically outer disciples in the early stages of Qi Refining.
Whether they went alone or in groups was entirely up to personal choice.
Mu Sanniang, of course, had no companions in the outer sect. However, even if she did, she would likely choose to go alone.
Beside an ancient stone tablet bearing the inscription Tai Xuan Sky Ladder, a slender figure slowly materialized.
Her hair had grown longer, almost reaching her waist.
Below the waterfall-like black hair was a face of unparalleled beauty, yet devoid of any expression.
