Star Martial Soaring Cloud

The footsteps were extremely light, almost inaudible, yet carried a graceful and melodious rhythm, approaching from afar before finally stopping steadily outside the vines by the hot spring.

Wang Xiao's spiritual sense was already far beyond that of ordinary people, not to mention that he was injured at the moment. He remained highly vigilant and instantly caught the unfamiliar aura.

But he showed no intention of taking precautions whatsoever, nor did he intend to conceal himself or take any action.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, and as his brows furrowed, the smile on his lips deepened.

There was no other reason than that the visitor was clearly a woman.

Before the sound of footsteps arrived, a faint fragrance wafted through the air.

How could a fine man like myself be afraid of a woman peeping at me?

Besides, my whole body has already been seen by others, so what is there to be afraid of?

More importantly, those light and graceful footsteps clearly indicated that the person who came was definitely not Sun Heilei.

As long as it wasn't her, everyone else was acceptable.

Furthermore, his injuries have not yet fully healed, and his body needs to soak for a while longer before he can return to his peak condition.

However, these female cultivators on Demon Island are truly audacious!

Under Wang Xiao's gaze, a graceful figure gently parted the drooping vines and slowly stepped into the hot spring valley.

It was a woman.

A woman whose beauty is breathtaking and captivating.

She wore a scarlet gauze dress as thin as a cicada's wing, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind, like a crimson cloud blooming in the night, or a cluster of leaping flames, appearing exceptionally bright and dazzling amidst the silvery moonlight and misty haze.

The skirt was embroidered with delicate dark silver patterns, which shimmered faintly in the moonlight. The sheer fabric was soft and light, perfectly outlining her exquisite figure. Her graceful posture and light steps made her seem to be walking on clouds, exuding an indescribable charm.

Her graceful figure was partially revealed by the sheer fabric, every curve perfectly proportioned—any more would make her appear fuller, any less would make her appear slimmer, truly exquisite.

Her fair and radiant skin, concealed by the gauze dress, glowed with a soft, delicate light, like the finest mutton-fat jade, smooth and warm.

Her appearance was breathtakingly beautiful.

Her arched eyebrows resembled distant mountains shrouded in mist, and her peach-blossom eyes were full of affection; between the movement of her gaze, it seemed as if a thousand emotions were surging within them.

Her eyes and brows were captivatingly alluring, her nose was delicate and refined, and her lips were full and red. When she slightly pursed them, she held a faint smile that was enough to make countless men in the world fall in love with her.

Her long, black hair cascaded down to her waist, and a pure white jade hairpin was tucked into her hair. The hairpin head was exquisitely carved with a blooming catalpa flower, making her look elegant and unique.

She stood quietly amidst the misty air, her delicate fragrance mingling with the rising steam from the hot spring, creating a refreshing and intoxicating atmosphere.

How could a woman be so alluring?

How could a woman be so captivating and unsettling?

The allure and seduction that people talk about are embodied in her.

The gentle moonlight bathed her in a soft silver glow, making her appear both a serene and otherworldly fairy from the moon palace and a lively and charming mountain spirit—beautiful beyond compare, yet captivatingly alluring.

"Yan Zixi." Wang Xiao spoke softly, his tone calm and even, as if stating a perfectly ordinary fact, "The number one beauty in Kyushu, seeing her today, truly lives up to her reputation."

Some people only need to hear her legend to know her.

A person's reputation is well-deserved; such appearance and demeanor truly live up to it.

The moment Wang Xiao saw who it was, he knew that the flower shadow Su Qinhe had mentioned had appeared.

Upon hearing this, Yan Zixi paused slightly, then covered her mouth and chuckled softly. Her laughter was as clear and melodious as a silver bell, echoing gently in the tranquil valley.

She walked slowly to the hot spring, each step exuding charm. She leaned slightly forward, resting her elbows lightly on the bluestone beside the spring, her chin resting gently on her palm. Her eyes, like silken threads, were fixed on Wang Xiao. Her voice was soft and alluring, like a nightingale's song in a valley, or a clear, tinkling mountain spring: "Young Master Wang, I've been searching for you quite a while. But… judging from your expression, you don't seem very surprised by my arrival?"

Wang Xiao leaned against the rock by the spring, his expression calm and composed, his gaze falling on her without any attempt to hide, scrutinizing her freely.

"Surprised?" He chuckled lightly, his tone casual. "There's really nothing to be surprised about."

Yan Zixi raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of curiosity flashing in her peach blossom eyes, and asked softly, "Oh? Why does Young Master Wang say that?"

Wang Xiao did not answer immediately, but simply gazed at her quietly, his eyes slowly moving from her exquisite face to the bell hanging at her waist—the unique mother-and-child bell of Fengyuxuan.

The problem with Yan Zixi's accurate location must lie in the mother-and-child bell.

Wang Xiao was able to find Su Qinhe using the mother-child bell, and similarly, Yan Zixi could naturally find herself using the mother-child bell.

However, the ability to secretly tamper with someone else's ringtone while keeping it a secret from them demonstrates a level of cunning and skill that should not be underestimated.

In this light, Yan Zixi has already gained the upper hand in the battle between the Holy Maiden of Fengyuxuan and the Flower Shadow Demon Island, placing her in an invincible position.

This woman is truly extraordinary.

"Did she come here specifically to provoke me?"

Wang Xiao pondered to himself before slowly speaking, "The mother-and-child bell of Fengyuxuan is indeed a fine item. Unfortunately, even the finest treasures cannot withstand those with ulterior motives. The mother-and-child bell in Miss Su's possession has probably already been tampered with by you, hasn't it?"

Yan Zixi seemed oblivious to the sarcasm in his words, maintaining her charming, gentle, and graceful demeanor.

"Young Master Wang is indeed exceptionally intelligent." She didn't deny it at all, but instead frankly admitted, "That's right, I can locate your position at any time if I want to."

She paused, her smile growing even brighter: "But Young Master Wang, you can rest assured, I only wish to see you and have no ill intentions whatsoever."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao chuckled noncommittally and continued, "As for why you were able to recognize me at a glance, it's not hard to guess once you figure out the trick behind this mother-and-child bell."

"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."

"You must have already thoroughly investigated Miss Su's allies," Wang Xiao said calmly, each word clear. "Her personal trip to Lishan to form an alliance with me, and the gift of such a precious treasure as the Eight Elemental Stones, naturally couldn't have escaped your notice. Given Miss Su's personality, she certainly wouldn't have made any new allies in the less than a month she's been on Demon Island. So, who else could it be but me, someone wielding the Mother-and-Child Bell and a complete stranger?"

After listening to his analysis, Yan Zixi's eyes flashed with genuine appreciation. She clapped her hands lightly and praised, "Brilliant! Young Master Wang is indeed meticulous and intelligent. No wonder he can make Sister Qinhe, with her aloof and proud nature, care so much about you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she lifted her foot and slowly stepped into the hot spring.

The warm spring water flowed over her ankles and then slowly submerged her slender calves. Her thin gauze dress, soaked by the water, clung to her body, making her exquisite figure even more clearly defined. The misty water vapor made her look like a goddess in the water, exuding charm and beauty to the extreme.

"It is my honor to be sought out by the most beautiful woman in Kyushu." Wang Xiao remained calm, with a hint of teasing in her tone. "However, let me make this clear first—the internal strife within Fengyuxuan is your family matter and has nothing to do with me. I have no intention of getting involved in your sisters' fight for no reason."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zixi's smile became even more radiant and captivating. Her affectionate peach blossom eyes gazed directly at him, and her voice was so gentle it seemed to drip with water: "Oh? Is that so?"

She leaned forward slightly, the neckline of her gauze dress loosening to reveal a breathtaking glimpse of snow-white skin, her tone becoming increasingly alluring and seductive: "But Young Master Wang, you are unmarried, and I am unmarried; you possess extraordinary talent, and I have unparalleled beauty. Who can say for sure that we won't become family someday?"

Her voice was soft and melodious, carrying an indescribable allure that seemed to penetrate the heart's defenses and stir the most primal desires deep within people's hearts.

Looking at her naturally alluring appearance, Wang Xiao felt a slight chill run down his spine.

What a powerful charm spell!
