Fangxian Heretical Path

Chapter 150 Celebrating Gu Bao's New Home
"Huh? Am I nervous?"

A soft, gentle voice rang out from inside the study.

Fang Lu's appearance was now utterly amusing. It made Fang Shu wonder again if her feigned reluctance had reached a state of perfection, making him feel as if she were truly innocent.

The next moment, he put aside his thoughts and thought to himself, "It's impossible that after doing this kind of business for so many years, he's still a novice like me."

But when he wanted to get closer to his senior sister, Fang Lu opened her eyes and looked at Fang Shu with a complicated expression.

She steadied her chaotic energy, forcefully suppressed the fear in her heart, and spoke again in a calm voice:

"Fang Shu, is this really worth it?"

In an instant, the nervous senior sister in front of me transformed into a strict teacher-like elder.

This change truly left Fang Shu somewhat bewildered.

He wasn't going to answer anymore, but Senior Sister Fang Lu stared at him intently, pushed him away, and said in a calmer and more complicated voice, "Answer me."

Seeing the other party's attitude, Fang Shu stopped his playful mood.

After thinking it over, he said in a deep voice, "Of course it's worth it. Senior Sister, you have done me a great favor and are willing to use your body to vouch for me. I should repay your kindness. Besides, it's just a Yuan Yang. I have already cultivated Qi and I have not practiced any kind of virginity cultivation method. Why should I be stingy with this thing?"

After giving this serious reply, Fang Shu chuckled and said, "Besides, Senior Sister and I are on good terms. Senior Sister has benefited, and so have I."

Fang Lu stood in front of Fang Shu, staring intently at him, her expression incredibly complex. She murmured, "Your appearance really reminds me of someone..."

Fang Shu was puzzled.

But Fang Lu didn't say that. Instead, she changed the subject, lowering her gaze as she spoke:
"What you said earlier is not wrong. I have done you a favor, and Yuan Yang has no effect on your cultivation. But you are wrong about the other half of your statement."

Fang Shu cupped her hands in greeting: "Please speak, Senior Sister."

Fang Lu sighed softly, paced around the room, and spoke:
"To be honest, the value of primordial yin and primordial yang lies not only in their uses, but also in the human heart. For example, this time, because the disciples of the Sex Hall used magic to examine her, they knew that her yang energy was mixed and they also knew the profession she was engaged in. As a result, she was labeled as 'dirty' and missed this opportunity, wasting her time."

"And you are only eighteen years old now, and you have entered the Gu Hall, taking the Gu Hall Master as your master. Even if you only have a pseudo-spiritual root, there will still be people who want to place their bets on you, and they will definitely not be ordinary people."

Fang Lu stared intently at Fang Shu:

"In this world, whether immortal or mortal, the more prestigious the family, the more they value a clean reputation. You haven't even met them yet. If you easily damage your vital energy, you might miss out on a marriage proposal from an immortal clan, or be perceived as having low moral character, thus losing funding, or even affecting your future Foundation Establishment..."

Are you really sure you won't regret it? Will you feel it was worth it?

Fang Shu pondered, and he understood.

After saying all that, Senior Sister Lu's core message was that she believed Fang Shu shouldn't waste his vital essence on her; he should at least save it to try and hook up with a wealthy family.

As the thought crossed his mind, Fang Shu, having already learned from the Duobaotang incident, understood that marrying into a wealthy family was bound to have both advantages and disadvantages, especially since those families required virginity. He realized that once he was in, his freedom might be restricted, a point he had never considered.

However, Fang Shu didn't say anything more. He just stared at Fang Lu, who was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and said in a deep voice, "Of course it's worth it!"

Fang Shu spoke up again: "Senior sister, please don't say anything more. If you reject me like this, I will think that there is something about me that you look down on, that you underestimate me, which is why you are rejecting me in this way."

Fang Lu was taken aback, not expecting her words to be considered from this perspective.

But she gritted her teeth and resolutely uttered:
"Since you think that your senior sister is worthy of your sacrifice and deserves your sacrifice, then your senior sister should not take your body and ruin your vital essence."

"Senior sister, what are you doing..." Fang Shu frowned.

Senior Sister Fang Lu gave him no further room to argue: "Alright, let's leave it at that. If you still consider me your senior sister, then let's pretend today's events never happened. We'll talk about it again in the future..."

Fang Shu sighed softly, feeling rather dejected.

Another thought flashed through his mind: he remembered how nervous Senior Sister Fang Lu had looked earlier, and he kept thinking to himself, "No way, it shouldn't be like this..."

And just then.

The retreat was quiet.

The two, a lone man and a lone woman, faced each other in an awkward atmosphere when Fang Lu suddenly broke into a smile.

Her entire demeanor was completely different from before. She gracefully walked to Fang Shu's side, suddenly leaned down, and whispered in his ear:

"It was my fault just now, I almost made you misunderstand. But I won't look down on you, junior brother. I have another way to avoid defiling your vital essence..."

With a few flirty words, Fang Lu regained the charm she had when they first met.

Fang Shu was surprised, but he cooperated.

Anyway, this is only beneficial to him and has no disadvantages, so let's celebrate!

All of a sudden.

Inside the monastery, her golden crown had fallen, her golden talisman had been torn, her hands were like tender shoots, her skin like solidified cream, and her legs like white jade—she was almost incomparable to them.

"Don't do it here, it's dirty... Come inside."

Upon entering the small house, Fang Shu immediately noticed that it was draped in curtains and decorated in an elegant and quiet style, quite different from the exquisite and rich furnishings in the main hall. It had a mysterious air about it, as if it were deliberately separated from the main hall.

But the cleanliness here has been broken today.

Fang Lu burned a kind of incense with a faint and subtle fragrance that had no aphrodisiac effect; instead, it brought peace and tranquility to the mind and body.

The incense burned very quickly, and soon the night was over and dawn was breaking.

The next day, Fang Shu woke up in Fang Lu's bed. He looked at the sky, then at his senior sister in bed, and felt refreshed.

Recalling the strange events of last night, he shook his head, too lazy to dwell on such trivial matters, and decided to simply enjoy the moment.

Just as Fang Shu got up to get dressed, Fang Lu had already woken up. She lay lazily on her side on the bed and asked in a soft voice:
"Young master, why are you up so early? Is it because I haven't served you well enough?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Shu, seeing that the woman seemed not yet out of character, laughed and said:

"Senior sister, you should rest well. Junior brother needs to find a cave to stay in. I've already troubled you for several days, and I can't keep you any longer."

Fang Lu heard this, her eyelashes fluttered, as if she wanted to say something, but she pursed her lips and stopped, only lazily gazing at Fang Shu.

Immediately, Fang Shu dressed himself properly, bowed to Fang Lu, and calmly left the hermitage, heading straight for another hall in the temple.

For a moment, only Fang Lu remained quietly lying in the hermitage.

She also got up, but continued to stare blankly into space.

Because it was too quiet, they even summoned the white deer, which stood in the room, making a clattering sound under its hooves.

Recalling yesterday's conversation, Fang Lu muttered to herself, stroking her cheek:
"You really do look like him..."

Just like me back then.

It turns out that yesterday she didn't see the image of an old friend in Fang Shu, but rather saw herself.

Back then, she received the protection and kindness of her senior brother. After successfully refining her Qi, she still planned to cultivate the lustful Qi because she had planted the Lustful Deer and Flos Spiritual Root. In addition, with the thought of repaying her kindness, she also went to her senior brother, intending to repay his kindness with her body.

As a result, the senior brother remained silent and did not take the opportunity to steal her virginity, even though such a thing would not result in any loss and would benefit both parties.

Even her senior brother, just like her, casually made up some excuse, such as "Those who are in the bedroom are skilled in yin and yang and can profit from it, but it is rumored that if they keep their pure bodies, they will have even greater opportunities in the future, even more than those who are not in the bedroom," in order to dissuade her from repaying the debt of gratitude.

Not only that, the senior brother also gave her a glimpse of an opportunity, and then kicked her out of the cave in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Upon reflection, Fang Lu's thoughts took a slightly different turn.

It's not that the senior brother resembles her, but rather that she is clearly imitating him.

Seeing that Fang Shu was a member of her sect, grateful for kindness, and had a future far surpassing her own, and considering that he was still a beginner in Qi cultivation and didn't know much, she naturally didn't want to do something like taking advantage of someone's misfortune to repay a debt of gratitude.

Suddenly, Fang Lu's hand moved.

Amidst the mournful cries of deer, the white deer in the room suddenly transformed and fell into her hands.

The deer transformed into a jade-like ruyi, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, with a cardamom-like shape in the center and an open fleshy lingzhi mushroom.

But this thing, though called a spiritual plant, is more like a magical artifact.

If Fang Shu were here, he would recognize at a glance that this is an ancient Taoist treasure! Moreover, it is similar in nature to the whip-shaped ancient Taoist treasure that he presented to the old mountain lord, with the subtle difference of yin and yang.

This was precisely the opportunity that Fang Lu had initially obtained.

After obtaining this item, Fang Lu initially didn't think much of it, but he discovered that the Taoist's ancient treasure was truly mysterious. Using this item to absorb people's yang energy, even those in the late stage of Qi Refining couldn't detect anything amiss.

She had never met a Foundation Establishment Immortal before, and her trip to the Sex Hall was intended to give it a try, but she was kicked out instead.

"It's better to be kicked out, so that we won't be exposed later and lose our vital essence to outsiders. We won't have the face to play tricks on our junior brothers."

Thinking back on everything that had happened, Fang Lu turned the ancient "Flesh Ganoderma" in his hand and sighed softly:

"Moreover, the deer is in the temple, so there is no longer just one person."

As if guided by some unseen force, she got up and walked into the main hall of the retreat.

For some reason, the elaborate arrangements in Fanglu Dunjue Hall became extremely jarring.

Whoosh! She flicked her sleeves repeatedly, putting all the eyesores into her storage bag, even cutting down her favorite swing set, intending to buy a new one.

Once she started, she couldn't stop until she had completely removed the floor, stones, and other items from the quiet room, including the wooden frame of the doors and windows.

In the vast mansion, only the array in the main hall and her small house remained; everything else had been removed by her.

Even after it was reduced to ruins, she still felt it wasn't clean enough, and in a trance-like state, she cleaned and tidied up everywhere.

She splashed water on the roof beams several times, then knelt down and used magic to wipe them clean, wishing she could dig up the foundation and rebuild it.

In the end, she actually dug up the foundation and carefully removed the formation.

Fang Lu was thinking that since they were going to redecorate, they might as well redecorate everything and not leave any old dirt or dead corners behind!

Having done all this in a morbid manner, Fang Lu didn't even wash up. She was covered in dust but in high spirits as she left the hermitage, heading towards the temple's main hall.

When going out.

She turned around and saw the "No Entry" sign on the door again. As if her eyes had been stung, she quickly went forward, took the sign down, and expressionlessly crushed it into powder before turning and leaving.

She needs to replace this door too, and she needs to do it quickly.

My junior brother will probably not buy a ready-made cave dwelling or a refined residence; he will build it himself.

In this way, choosing a site would take a day, construction would take another day or two, and setting up an array would take even more time. So at least for today, Junior Brother will definitely come back to stay in her room.

She wanted to get the new house decorated before her junior brother returned!
