I started by controlling his master, and the protagonist begged me to slow down my kicking.

Of course, no one cared about Ye Chen's breakdown.

Because the other three people each had their own ulterior motives.

Lu Shixue gazed at the distant city wall with clear, bright eyes, pondering how to deal with Cheng Ran next.

She couldn't possibly sit idly by and let Cheng Ran humiliate her.

If she can find a way to forcibly free the jade pendant from that beast, the situation will be reversed!

When the time comes, she will definitely make Cheng Ran atone for his sins in the afterlife!

Cheng Ran was thinking about her plans after she left.

Having plundered Ye Chen's luck, the system should reward me. I wonder what good things it will give me this time!

As for the Human Emperor...

She just wanted to get Cheng Ran, her living father, out of the ancient palace as soon as possible!

"Now that you have received my inheritance, there is no need for you to linger here any longer. Return to the Holy Land."

The Emperor led the three to the magic array behind the palace and sent them back.

And when only she remained outside the ancient hall.

The Emperor sighed helplessly.

Then she stomped her feet in anger!

She vowed never to see these descendants of the holy land again.

Especially Cheng Ran!

How utterly annoying!

......

......

Primordial Sacred Land, Valley of the Immortals.

A gentle breeze blew by, and Lu Shixue and Ye Chen left in silence.

Only Cheng Ran stood on the edge of the cliff, hands behind his back, feeling the night wind, looking down.

It seems that because the inheritance has been taken away, the cliff no longer emits spiritual power, nor is it bottomless.

"The wind is quite noisy today..."

Stretching, Cheng Ran, the only winner of the day, sighed softly.

It's time to settle the rewards again.

"system."

[Ding! Host has successfully intercepted the protagonist's opportunity to inherit the Human Emperor's legacy!]

[Ye Chen's luck value decreased by 50, the host gained 50 villain points, and also gained one year of cultivation!]

[Load immediately?]

Not bad, another cultivation reward.

The episode with the most arduous training.

"What else can I say? System, load it!"

Loading...

[The host's aptitude is at the "God" level; cultivation will be loaded based on this standard.]

[Ding! After two months of cultivation, the host has broken through to the second level of Core Formation!]

......

[Ding! After one year of cultivation, the host has broken through to the fifth level of the Core Formation stage!]

Not bad! Fifth level of Core Formation!

Looking at the system panel, Cheng Ran nodded with satisfaction.

It is important to know that on the path of cultivation, the difficulty of further cultivation increases exponentially with each advancement to a higher realm.

That's why he was able to break through to the fifth level of Core Formation at the age of twenty.

He can already be considered an unparalleled prodigy.

Compared to the guys on the Qingyun Ranking.

They are just as impressive!

"Thanks to my good junior brother Ye Chen, hehehe..."

"But then again, Master should be making some moves too, right?"

Cheng Ran suddenly remembered that his master had promised him either a Heaven-level cultivation technique or a Heaven-level magic weapon.

According to Master's nature, he always keeps his word.

Ten days have passed since the day of reckoning and rewarding merits.

Master should be ready by now...

In every sense.

Cheng Ran gave a wicked smile and then activated the communication talisman for the disciples of Wenjian Peak.

Inside, there was indeed a text message sent to him by Gong Yueli.

only......

Before Cheng Ran could even check it, she was drawn to another message.

"Senior Sister Mu... what does this little bitch want with me?"

Cheng Ran was somewhat confused.

He channeled his magic to view the message, and a line of ink-wash characters blurred before his eyes...

"You lecherous scoundrel, come to Yunyao Pavilion and help me detoxify."

"I see..."

Cheng Ran stroked her chin thoughtfully:

"Indeed, if the inner demons are not eliminated, the poison will relapse in this woman's body after a period of time."

"There's nothing we can do about it..."

"The sword duel can wait a while, but the detoxification cannot be postponed."

only......

Cheng Ran, who had decided to seek an antidote, did not go to Yunyao Pavilion immediately.

Instead, he turned and went to the shops outside the gate.

It has been so long since I last saw Mu Yunxi.

He decided to give Mu Yunxi a surprise gift.

......

......

Asking Sword Peak, Cloud Jade Pavilion.

Mu Yunxi sat quietly on the jade cushion, her hands forming a mudra as she circulated her inner energy.

A surge of spiritual energy rose around them.

However, her cheeks were as pale as if they had been stained with paper.

The fairy, who was always proud and self-assured, was now more vulnerable and broken.

She was being consumed by lustful drugs.

indeed.

As the inner demons weaken, the resulting lustful poison also weakens.

The aphrodisiac could no longer erode her spirit, thus damaging her cultivation.

But the problem is...

Even water droplets can wear away stone; even if the aphrodisiac weakens, she still won't be able to endure the constant torment.

Seven or eight hours had passed since she sent the message to Cheng Ran, but Cheng Ran still hadn't come to Yunyao Pavilion.

During this time, the aphrodisiac burned her body every moment.

Now, she is almost on the verge of being overwhelmed and dizzy.

"Cough, cough..."

Another mouthful of blood spurted from Mu Yunxi's cherry lips.

She took a handkerchief from the counter and painstakingly wiped away the bloodstains from the corner of her lips.

But a question lingered in my mind.

lecherous thief...

What exactly is he doing?

I clearly sent him a message, so why hasn't he come to treat the poison yet?

Surely you can't drag your sick body to him and beg him!

"Hehehe!"

Just then.

The inner demon suddenly appeared before Mu Yunxi, its voice both alluring and mocking.

She opened her jade-like arms and wrapped them around Mu Yunxi's slender waist, her crimson lips whispering against Mu Yunxi's ear:

"How come... even the usually proud Sister Yunxi thinks about men when she's vulnerable?"

"You've come uninvited."

Mu Yunxi glanced coldly at her inner demons, her voice weak yet still icy:

"Moreover, every time they come, they try to disturb my resolve with nonsense."

"whee......"

"This isn't just nonsense..."

The inner demon's blood-red peach blossom eyes revealed a cunning glint:

"If I were to say that, given that lecherous man's character, he might be with another woman right now..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Mu Yunxi interrupted coldly, her hand surging with frosty spiritual energy:

"What does it have to do with me? I don't care what he does with other women."

"The path to enlightenment is long and arduous; one cannot rely on others. To trouble others for assistance makes it difficult to maintain a firm resolve in one's faith."

"Besides, I don't care about that lecherous thief at all."

"You're so stubborn..."

The inner demon covered her cherry lips, seemingly thinking of something happy, and chuckled for a while.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses and said bluntly:

"Then why do you react so...happy whenever I show you images related to that handsome young man?"

"Shut up!"

Mu Yunxi shouted sharply.

Immediately, the Frosty Sword Intent erupted, slicing the inner demon into dust and dissipating it.

However, at this moment, her spiritual energy became even more chaotic, and she could no longer calmly circulate her inner energy...

She just kept thinking about what the inner demon had said to her.

I'm...happy?

How is that possible!

He couldn't wait to tear this lecherous thief to pieces, how could he possibly be happy!

Even if there's just a tiny bit of happiness, it's all due to the effects of lustful drugs...

Anyway, it has nothing to do with her!

"You bastard, perverted thief!"

Thinking about it, Mu Yunxi cursed in an annoyed tone.

But at that moment, a figure in white appeared in front of the coffin outside the pavilion.

It looks stunning under the moonlight.

"Senior Sister Mu, I came here out of kindness to help you detoxify, why are you scolding me right away?"

Cheng Ran said with a half-smile.

(PS: Let's talk about Senior Sister Mu first, then we'll move on to the storyline with Master!)
