Infiltrating the righteous path? Just another place to be a sycophant.

"Let's put other things aside for now. The reason I called you in here in this strange way is because I have something to ask you to do."

"What is it? If I can do it, I will do my utmost!"

"Not bad, you are indeed my good disciple. Go and seduce the eldest daughter of the Shi family."

"No problem, I'll go right away... Wait, Master, what did you say?"

Lu An was stunned for a moment, his brain momentarily blanking out.

"I'm sending you to seduce Miss Shi, Shi Zhenxiang, and get her to reveal the location of the key to the secret treasure land."

"I need to find an opportunity to break through to the next level, and this is a good opportunity, so I must seize it. My disciple, you must cheer me on!"

After hearing what Li Podao said, Lu An was completely dumbfounded.

To send him to seduce Shi Zhenxiang? That sausage-lipped girl?

So he turned around and glanced at Shi Zhenxiang.

It was a horrific sight, an unbearable sight, so brutal.

How can anyone in this world look like this? What's the difference between her and Ru Hua (a character from a Chinese folktale)?

She didn't look like this before. How heavy is her makeup?

"Master, are you really not joking?"

"Who's joking with you? You're so handsome, if you don't seduce someone, who will?"

It's an irresistible reason, but he also can't bring himself to do it.

“I have my reasons for telling you this. I have already searched her mind. There seems to be some kind of seal in her mind. There are some memories that even I cannot see. It may be the protective power of her family.”

"What? The power of deception?"

"Protective power! It's not some deceptive power! It's a shackle placed in the memories of the family elders to protect the younger generation and prevent the secret from being revealed!"

Li Podao explained helplessly.

Lu An responded with an "oh," as if he understood something.

It means the USB drive containing the data is locked.

"Let me tell you, she's a hopeless romantic. You'll see what I mean when you see these pictures."

Wow!

With a wave of his hand, Li Podao sent a pile of books crashing to the ground from his storage ring.

Lu An picked them up and took a look, only to find that the books were actually...

The Domineering Immortal Lord Falls in Love with Me

My Daoist Companion During the Tribulation Stage

"Don't run away, my lady, I'm after you!"

Handsome Master, Please Don't Do This!

Lu An's face darkened after reading the titles of these books.

Isn't this a Mary Sue novel? Are these things popular in the cultivation world too?

Then Lu An picked it up and looked at it, and found that the author's name was also on it.

And among the author's name, there was another name that seemed familiar to him.

Chang Yuqing!

This kid, writing these books?

How much spirit stone did you earn from the royalties? You actually wrote these books to corrupt young female cultivators!

"I almost forgot, these are limited editions. I'll keep them for myself first."

Li Podao picked up several books from the ground and put them into his storage ring.

"Master, you...?"

"Oh dear, who doesn't have a little hobby? Hahahaha..."

Chapter 155 The Art of Dream Control

It was a forest shrouded in mist, with no light except for the faint moonlight in the sky.

The fog was cold, and as Shi Zhenxiang moved through it, she felt as if a cold wind was blowing around her.

Even breathing felt icy cold, as if my lungs were about to freeze.

Shi Zhenxiang ran desperately through the mist, with monsters disappearing behind her.

She didn't know what they looked like, but she thought they seemed very scary.

They lurked in the darkness, with the nearby bushes and trees occasionally rustling, seemingly confirming their presence.

And there were also the sounds of relentless, rapid footsteps.

Her body was covered in mud, and her once gorgeous clothes were now tattered. But she had no time to care about these things, because all she could think about was escaping.

Unable to use her cultivation, unable to fly on her sword, and unable to use any teleportation talismans, she could only flee for her life like an ordinary mortal.

This place is really too eerie.

The ground made a crunching sound, indistinguishable whether it was the sound of branches being crushed or the sound of bones left over from the monsters' meals being broken.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Shi Zhenxiang finally saw a tiny orange light in the distance.

So she ran toward the firelight as if she had grasped at a straw, running wildly like a madwoman.

As she continued to run, the orange light drew closer and closer, and the sounds of the monster beside her grew fainter and fainter.

A warm feeling slowly flowed into her body, and Shi Zhenxiang could see clearly what the orange-yellow light was.

It was a bonfire burning brightly.

Beside the blazing bonfire stood a man with an ethereal, otherworldly air.

The man's appearance seemed somewhat familiar, but his aura was like that of a celestial being, giving people a sense of untouchability from afar.

The man suddenly turned around and glanced in her direction.

Then he raised his hand, put his four fingers together, pointed at her with one finger, and muttered something.

A golden light shot out and completely engulfed her.

Shi Zhenxiang, who was engulfed by the golden light, did not feel any discomfort. On the contrary, the monster next to her let out a scream that sounded like it was in terror.

She could feel the monsters that had been chasing her fleeing, and the feeling of panic that had been making her heart race was quickly dispelled.

At the end of the golden light was the man. Shi Zhenxiang kept moving forward and finally got closer and closer to the man.

Soon, she walked along the golden road and arrived at the campfire, where she finally saw the man's appearance clearly.

"Elder Lu... Elder Lu!? What are you doing here?"

Looking at Elder Lu in front of her, Shi Zhenxiang felt both excited and happy.

"Of course, I'm here to rescue you and bring you back to your residence, Miss Shi."

"Don't run around like that next time, your family will worry."

"Of course, I'm worried too."

Lu An walked slowly toward Shi Zhenxiang. His ethereal and handsome appearance made him exactly Shi Zhenxiang's dream lover.

Lu An was already handsome, but after being rescued by a hero, she felt that he was even more handsome now.

The next moment, Lu An took Shi Zhenxiang's hand, his eyes filled with affection, as if they were about to overflow with tears.

"Elder Lu... thank you so much."

"Just say thank you, little girl?" Lu An smiled at Shi Zhenxiang. "It's what I should do, little girl."

"How...how should I repay you?"

"Yes, how should you repay me?"

Lu An suddenly brought his face close to Shi Zhenxiang's, and Shi Zhenxiang's face immediately turned red.

"How...how do you want me to repay you? Spirit stones? Secret manuals? Or..."

"Then can I repay you with you, my dear young lady?"

"Huh? Me...?"

Shi Zhenxiang was stunned. She never expected that Lu An would say such a thing to her.

Happiness came so suddenly, like a clear blue sky suddenly turning into a storm.

"is it not OK?"

"Oh dear, why so fast? I'll be shy..."

"However, if you'd like, I can do that too."

"So, shouldn't you give me a reward?"

"What...what reward do you want...?"

"Of course, it's a kiss from the young lady..."

…………

Looking at Shi Zhenxiang in his arms, Lu An felt a chill run down his spine.

Her makeup before was so heavy! She looks completely different from how she looks now.

"Master, are you sure you haven't arrested the wrong person? Is this the eldest daughter of the Shi family?"

"That's her. She's just wearing a little too much makeup, but young girls love to look good, so I can understand."

"Is it just a little too thick?"

"You talk too much nonsense. Her cultivation level isn't high, and she doesn't look like that. She only wears a little makeup, and you're complaining? She's much richer than you."

"No, Master, I just wanted to complain. After all, I've seen you so much that I just can't help but feel disgusted when I see this kind of trash."

Lu An glanced at Shi Zhenxiang, who was pregnant with him, and felt nauseous.

"Hahahaha, do you think everyone is like your master? Our Heavenly Demon Sect is all about good looks. Those who aren't good-looking aren't qualified to enter our sect." Li Podao laughed heartily, while also patting his own face.

Lu An looked at Li Podao, who was starting to become narcissistic, and realized that he had said the wrong thing.

He's been tricked by his master again.

"Master, something's wrong. Why is her laughter getting more and more... arrogant?"

What the heck is this? Why is she laughing more and more wildly?

Is this normal? Is it normal?

Lu An saw a terrifying smile curving up the corners of Shi Zhenxiang's mouth, just like the invisible cat in Alice in Wonderland, her smile was like a half-moon.

That's terrifying! Is he holding a person? Or a monster?

"She probably dreamt of something good. I just adjusted her dream. It's good that you're here, my disciple."

Because of the influence of Shi Zhenxiang's power, whether in her mind or in her consciousness, Li Podao was unable to directly control what was happening in Shi Zhenxiang's mind. However, with Lu An's arrival, things were different.

Lu An's physique allows him to deceive everyone. Li Podao, with Lu An's help, inputs dream control techniques into Shi Zhenxiang's brain, thus enabling him to control her dreams.

There's someone in the middle, so it's not easy to control.

"Master, is there a bonus for being a tool? How about some spirit stones?"

"Want a good slap in the face?"

"Never mind, I'm still happy to serve my master."

Lu An quickly declined.

"Master, what kind of dream did you control for her?"

"Hero saves the beauty, the nightmare before, the hero saves the beauty after."

Who is the hero?
