Within the Water Moon Sect, in a dark room...
"Have you understood what I told you, little beauty?"
If Fang Ling were here, she would never forget this voice!
It was Li Nan, the man who had humiliated Fang Ling at the gates of the Water Moon Sect that day!
Li Nan chuckled lewdly, looking down at the young maidservant before him.
"You dare not! I will never do such a thing to my young mistress! I will not let your scheme succeed!"
This girl was none other than Xiao Lan, Fang Ling's personal maid. At that moment, her face was flushed with anger, and her body trembled uncontrollably from fury. Since the day she was sent to Yan Lai True Immortal's disciples by Lin Su'er, she never imagined that Li Nan was also one of Yan Lai True Immortal's inner disciples!
Li Nan, of course, recognized the young maid by Fang Ling's side. He immediately devised a cunning plan and knocked Xiao Lan unconscious.
"Little beauty, think carefully. If you feed this potion to your master, the Holy Maiden, once I capture her divine body, you will become the most powerful woman in this sect, second only to the Holy Maiden. I might even consider taking you as my concubine. This is a lucrative deal. Do you really think, with your abilities, you can ever catch up to your master?"
Li Nan seemed confident as he paced back and forth, speaking in a calm tone as if discussing an ordinary matter.
"Spit! Li Nan, you're a despicable villain! I'm loyal to the young lady. I advise you to abandon your thoughts. Otherwise, the young lady will have you torn to pieces!" Xiao Lan looked hysterical, glaring at Li Nan with eyes that seemed capable of tearing him apart with her gaze.
"I've already given you a chance. Don't refuse a gift and then complain when you're punished. I'll ask you one more time: do you agree to this deal?"
"Foolish! Delusional!" Xiao Lan's face twisted with anger as he ground out each word.
"Hehehe... I've known a truth since I was a child: if a woman refuses, then force her until she agrees."
"You lot, use the prepared Yin-Yang Seduction Incense. This little beauty is yours tonight. Make sure she's satisfied, and I'll reward you."
Li Nan finished speaking and left with a smile. The several burly guards behind him immediately approached with lecherous grins, tearing apart Xiao Lan's clothes and exposing her slightly youthful, snow-white figure. They smeared the Yin-Yang Seduction Incense all over her body...
"Ah, let me go! Stop! My mistress won't forgive you! Li Nan!!! Stop!!! No! Ahhhhh!"
Xiao Lan's face was filled with humiliation and despair, tears streaming down her cheeks. The shame of being penetrated by a penis filled her mind... Under the influence of the Yin-Yang Seductive Soul Powder, her body gradually grew hotter...
Miss...
...
Within the Holy Maiden's Cave.
I slowly opened my beautiful eyes, a smile on my face.
Looking inward at the deep blue spiritual energy liquid in my dantian, which resembled an ocean, I had finally reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.
What I did not know was that under the influence of the spiritual essence, my foundation had been polished to an unparalleled level of solidity. As a result, even at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, the amount of spiritual energy in my dantian was as vast as an ocean. For ordinary cultivators, even if they were single-element geniuses from major sects undergoing Foundation Establishment, their spiritual energy would only be as small as a stream.
Reciting the incantation silently, I sent my divine consciousness into my sea of consciousness. Three high-grade treasures emitting dazzling halos rested quietly within it. At the very top of the sea of consciousness, there was a scroll of mountains and seas emitting a intense light.
With a flick of my divine consciousness, the sea-blue silk robe and the hairpin-shaped treasure that the sect master had given me appeared before my eyes.
I couldn't wait to put on the sea-blue silk robe, tied a small strand of hair at the back of my head, and inserted it into the hairpin. A water mirror appeared before me, and I examined my reflection in it.
The sea-blue silk robe, entirely white, added an ethereal aura to my appearance. but the fabric at the chest was a bit too revealing, exposing most of my snow-white breasts. The alluring cleft was clearly visible, and the slightly loose belly band couldn't properly restrain my chest, causing my breasts to bulge prominently after putting on the robe. It seemed as though a gentle touch could reveal those two tempting little cherries... My smooth black hair was tied up in a small bun, with a beautifully adorned hairpin intertwined, adding a touch of nobility to my appearance.
Beneath the sheer skirt, a pair of snow-white, flawless legs were tightly wrapped in transparent white silk stockings, extending all the way to the base of the thighs.
Paired with the snow-white embroidered shoes gifted to me by Lin Su'er, I truly looked like a celestial beauty!
Looking at the exposed skin on my chest, I felt a touch of shyness. However, this was the exquisite sea-green silk robe, a treasure of the highest quality. I shook my head slightly and turned gracefully before the water mirror. The silk skirt danced lightly, and I smiled contentedly. As a woman, loving beauty is instinctive, it is one's nature. Which woman does not wish to be more beautiful?
With another flick of my mind, a beautifully shaped sword appeared in my hand. The scabbard trembled slightly, and I couldn't resist drawing the sword. A crisp ringing sound echoed, and the silver-white blade shone with a dazzling glow. I channeled my spiritual energy into the sword, and the glow gradually receded. The blade, infused with spiritual energy, trembled slightly, as if excited...
I had studied sword techniques with my father for a short time when I was young. I immediately gripped the "Beauty Sword" and began to perform sword techniques. True to its reputation as a top-tier treasure, even without spiritual energy, each move emitted sharp sword qi on its own.
Gripping the "Beauty Sword" sword tightly, I channeled a small amount of spiritual energy into it and thrust it toward a massive boulder outside the house. The sharp sword qi erupted, slicing through the stone as easily as cutting tofu, its power unabated as it continued forward for over a hundred meters before gradually dissipating.
I withdrew the sword, satisfied with my performance.
Lin Su'er had entrusted me with two unique combat manuals: the "Moonlight Technique" and the "Jade Qing True Scripture." I had already mastered one technique from each. The "Moonlight Technique" was an offensive method. The first technique, named "Bright Moon," caused one's every move to become illusions, confusing enemies while enhancing the power of one's techniques.
The Jade Qing True Classic is a complete manual of defensive techniques. By channeling a special spiritual energy in a specific pattern, it conjures a layer of misty water vapor that envelops me. The first technique involves condensing this misty, illusory vapor, rendering the attacks of ordinary cultivators of the same level ineffective against its defense.
Suddenly, the jade pendant given to me by Wang Yuxiao began to glow faintly. I infused it with spiritual energy and heard:
"Holy Maiden, I have received accurate information. The Xuantian Secret Realm will open in seven days. The journey is long, and in five days, the Full Sky True Immortal will await us at the sect's square to lead us there."
Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but show excitement on my face. Finally, my first trial was about to begin. However, before that, I needed to visit Uncle Dao Shan to hand over my father's final letter and also pay a visit to Xiao Lan. It had been so long since I last saw her, and I wondered how her cultivation had progressed.
Dao Shan was a Golden Core Realm expert, so I quickly located his residence and summoned the Snow Spirit to fly there.
He was a middle-aged man with a stern expression. Upon seeing me, he bowed respectfully first, as I was currently the Holy Maiden of the Water Moon Sect, and my status was higher than his.
After I handed him my father's letter, he first showed a look of deep sorrow, then sighed heavily before carefully putting the letter away.
"Our old friend has passed away, and I am deeply saddened. In the past, Master Fang saved me from the demonic tide, and I owe him my life. This debt can never be repaid."
"Holy Maiden, you are the daughter of my late friend. Your father bestowed great kindness upon me, but I can do little to assist you. As the Holy Maiden, you already possess countless resources for cultivation. I can only promise that if there is ever anything I can do for you, do not hesitate to ask. I will go through fire and water for you."
"Uncle Dao Shan, you are too kind. I have come here to deliver my father's final letter to you, which also fulfills his final wish. I believe he will rest in peace now."
I bit my lip slightly; the topic of my father was a heavy burden for me.
"Alright... Alright! Fang Shengtian truly raised a fine daughter. Take this jade pendant. Should danger ever arise, crush it beforehand, and I will rush to your side no matter how far away I am. Though my strength is limited, this is the only thing I can do for you."
After bidding farewell to Dao Shan, I made some inquiries and then flew toward the cave residence of Yan Lai True Immortal.
Upon reaching the vicinity of Yan Lai True Immortal's cave, before I could do anything, a calm and composed male voice rang out:
"The Holy Maiden has graced my humble abode with her presence. May I ask the reason for your visit?"
At the same time, a man with blue hair and wearing a gray robe appeared before me. He exuded an aura of tranquility and elegance, causing one's mind to relax involuntarily.
"This humble maiden has come to visit a young woman named Xiao Lan under the True Immortal's care. I did not intend to disturb the True Immortal, and I apologize deeply for any inconvenience caused." With that, I bowed respectfully.
Though I am currently the Holy Maiden, ranking above the True Immortal, I have only recently joined the sect, so it is best to be cautious in such matters.
The True Immortal Yan Lai's brows relaxed slightly. My humility had earned him a bit of goodwill toward me.
"Since that is the case, Holy Maiden, please feel free to go. I am currently in the midst of a crucial period of seclusion and cannot accompany you."
With that, Yan Lai vanished before my eyes. I took a deep breath, searched around, and found Xiao Lan, who was meditating in her room.
"Miss! You're here!"
Upon seeing me, Xiao Lan seemed quite excited, pulling my hand and asking after my well-being, causing me to pout playfully.
However, I did not notice that a hint of seduction had appeared between Xiao Lan's eyebrows. Every movement she made seemed to exude a charm that could tempt any man... Xiao Lan looked deeply into my eyes, and a flash of struggle flickered in the depths of her gaze.
"It's been a while since we last met. How has your cultivation been going?" I pulled Xiao Lan to a chair and gently sat her down.
"Sigh, Miss, Xiao Lan is so dull. After all this time, I still haven't managed to channel the qi into my body. My master said my aptitude isn't good..."
"Do not lose heart. The path of cultivation is long and arduous; take it slowly... I will always be watching over you."
...
Two young girls always have endless topics to discuss...
Before we knew it, night had fallen…
After chatting for a while, Xiao Lan brought over a cup of clear tea, using a dry mouth as an excuse to ask me to drink it.
"Xiao Lan is still the same as before. Seeing you again this time has made me very happy, Xiao Lan..."
Trusting her, I didn't suspect anything and drank the tea…
A fleeting look of struggle flashed across Xiaolan's eyes…
Suddenly, I felt as though I couldn't move my body, and my movements grew sluggish…
I couldn't believe what was happening. My eyes widened in disbelief as I looked at Xiao Lan... I never imagined that the person I had trusted most since childhood would poison me...
In my grief, I gently crushed the jade pendant at my waist. Then, everything went black, and I fainted heavily.
