Although the person before you was veiled in white, the impression he had left on you during those few short days was too profound. Even a slight resemblance was enough to make you panic.

Moreover, the contours of his eyebrows and eyes are clearly identical to those of the Moon Gazing Immortal.

【wrong!】

As the other person drew closer, you keenly sensed something unusual.

Although this person's appearance is very similar to Wang Yue's, their cultivation level, demeanor, and overall aura are completely different.

If the Moon-Gazing Immortal is a snow lotus on a high mountain, pure and aloof, then the person before us is like a white epiphyllum under the moon, whose gentle and graceful aura makes one feel unconsciously close to her.

Of course, all of this can be faked; you haven't let your guard down.

Just as you were about to pass each other, the person suddenly stopped and turned to look at you.

"The girl knows me."

The tone wasn't one of doubt, but of certainty.

"Who doesn't know the most beautiful woman in Xuanhuang Prefecture, Fairy Yuefei?"

You smiled slightly, your expression showing no sign of distress, and calmly curtsied.

[The opponent's aura is so powerful, at least at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. Moreover, because of Master Wangyue, you were already wary of the cultivators from Listening Snow Cliff, so you decided to play the innocent... play the obedient one first.]

[Upon hearing this, Consort Yue's expression remained unchanged; instead, she shook her head slightly.]

"That's not the understanding I'm referring to."

You were momentarily speechless, but fortunately, the other party showed no intention of persisting. Seeing your silence, Yuefei gently stroked her storage bag, and a silver token appeared in her palm.

"This is my token for a guest elder at Wangxue Cliff."

She handed you the jade pendant, her tone still gentle.

"Tomorrow we will be entering the Frost Nether Mountains to search for treasure. If you are interested, you can come find me tonight at the third branch of the Heavenly Division."

After speaking, Consort Yue, accompanied by two female cultivators from Wangxue Cliff, stepped across the threshold.

You held the jade pendant, watching their departing figures with a bewildered expression.

"Moon, why did you give your identity token to a strange woman?"

After leaving the restaurant, a disciple who appeared to be a young girl spoke up beside him, but her tone was quite mature.

"Uncle Mu, I think she's beautiful enough."

[At this moment, Consort Yue's expression was completely different from before.]

The previous gentleness vanished completely, and her every gesture resembled that of a handsome and elegant young gentleman.

Upon hearing this, the girl remained silent for a moment before asking in confusion:

"You just said she knows you, is that true or false?"

"Tsk tsk, the way that girl looked at me the first time... it was like she wanted to devour me alive."

[The Moon Consort produced a folding fan from somewhere, and with a gentle flick, the fan unfolded with a "whoosh," her movements fluid and graceful.]

"I'm pretty sure I haven't seen her. It must be that Mochizuki guy's romantic entanglement. It couldn't possibly be Miya..."

【"Bang!"】

The girl slapped her on the back of the head in an annoyed manner.

"Watch your words. You'd better watch your image. If the Palace Master finds out about your behavior, you'll be punished again."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

[With a helpless expression, Consort Yue closed her folding fan and resumed her gentle and dignified demeanor.]

"Will she really come?"

The young girl seemed quite curious about this as well, after all, she admitted that Consort Yue was right; the woman from before was indeed stunningly beautiful, and if she were chosen, the Palace Master probably wouldn't object.

"I have no idea."

[Consort Yue smiled, her lips pursed, displaying a charmingly girlish demeanor.]

【"Bang!"】

"Ouch..."

【...】

Inside the inn, you sit cross-legged on the bed, staring intently at the token in your hand, deep in thought.

My intuition tells me that unsolicited kindness is either a swindle or a crime.

This journey will undoubtedly be fraught with danger, yet you sense a deep connection between this person and Master Wangyue. Perhaps this opportunity can help you uncover some of the truth.

If you simply pretend nothing happened, you'll always feel resentful.

Moreover, the other party's claim of treasure hunting must mean they've actually discovered some treasure; otherwise, why would someone like the young sect leader of Listening Snow Cliff travel thousands of miles to such a godforsaken place?

Ah, curiosity killed the cat...

Seeing your serious expression, Shi Ying, who was sitting at the table, suddenly stood up and said earnestly:

"Sister Shen, don't trust that person. The way she's looking at you is suspicious!"

"Oh? How did you figure that out?"

Seeing that she was quite agitated, you smiled slightly and asked her a question.

Upon hearing this, Shi Ying's ears burned, but fortunately, her wheat-colored skin concealed the blush.

She couldn't very well say, "That was clearly blatant covetousness in my eyes! Because I probably felt the same way when I looked at you..."

Seeing her hesitate and unable to speak for a long time, and witnessing this rare sight of this fierce woman showing such shyness, you suddenly felt a tingling sensation in your heart, and a desire to tease her quietly welled up within you.

You slowly rose, approaching Shi Ying step by step, until you cornered her by the window.

He leaned forward abruptly, trapping her between the windowsill and his chest with overwhelming force. His warm breath brushed against her ear, and his voice was deep and seductive:

"Little Shi Ying, if you can defeat me, you can do whatever you want~"

[Do whatever you want...do whatever you want...do whatever you want...]

【"boom!"】

Shi Ying felt a surge of heat rush to her head, her mind filled with thoughts of "doing whatever she wanted," and even her tanned skin couldn't hide the blush on her pretty face.

You watched this scene with great interest, just about to tease it a couple more times.

【"Bang!"】

The door was suddenly flung open, and Yun Wuji rushed in, looking disheveled. He was about to say something when his pupils constricted sharply upon seeing the scene inside.

"I didn't see anything, I won't tell Han-ge."

[As he spoke, he prepared to scramble and crawl away.]

【"return!"】

Your face darkened. What are you even saying?

Shi Ying quickly ducked down and slipped under your arm, then ran away without looking back, not forgetting to leave behind a message:

"Sister Shen, I'll go buy you some snacks."

Seeing this, a slight smile appeared on your lips. It seems teasing young girls is the only way you can find some joy in that!

Yun Wuji stood frozen at the doorway, his expression shifting as he considered the likelihood of being silenced.

You looked at him, your face instantly filled with impatience.

"Quickly, what is it?"

"Huh? Oh..."

After regaining his composure, Yun Wuji quickly recounted all the information he had gathered over the past two days.

After listening, you suddenly felt like you were laughing in anger.

[They dare to sell the Heart-Sealing Flower privately? Do they truly disregard the sect's rules, or do they have powerful backers?]

"Continue your investigation discreetly; there's no need to make it public for now."

[You plan to follow Consort Yue into the Frost Nether Mountains first, since what's more important than a sect mission or a chance encounter?]

Even if this journey ends in certain death, it will at least reveal some of this person's true strengths and weaknesses; such opportunities are rare.

Some risks are worth taking, especially since you can return once. After all, in reality, you're very likely to interact with cultivators from Listening Snow Cliff, so you can't be completely ignorant.

Your fingertips lightly tap the table, and the images of Consort Yue and Immortal Wangyue occasionally surface in your mind.

What exactly is that sense of unease...?
