Deep within the secret realm, inside a hidden and picturesque stalactite cave.
The changing winds and clouds of the outside world were temporarily isolated. In the center of the cave was a naturally formed cold jade bed, surrounded by spiritual energy so dense it almost turned into mist.
After dealing with that group of demonic cultivators, Xia Lengyue brought Ye Xuan here. She called it resting, but in reality, it was to let Ye Xuan quickly absorb the insights he had gained during the battle.
Ye Xuan sat cross-legged on a bluestone, five-colored light flowing around him.
It had to be said that the sense of crisis from his rebirth was his best catalyst. Under the frantic circulation of the Five Elements Chaos Sutra, coupled with the rich spiritual energy in the secret realm, the spiritual power within his body surged like a rushing river. In just two short hours, his cultivation broke through once again, stepping directly into the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm, only one step away from Foundation Establishment!
"Phew..."
Ye Xuan slowly exhaled a breath of impure Qi and opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing through them.
'An increase in strength is a good thing, but the stronger I get, the easier it is to attract Xia Lengyue's attention... I must grasp that balance perfectly. I need to have utility value, but I cannot let her feel that I am slipping out of her control.'
He subconsciously looked toward the cold jade bed not far away.
At this glance, Ye Xuan's pupils violently shrank.
He saw Xia Lengyue currently leaning against the cold jade bed. Her originally pristine white dress, cold and elegant like an immortal's, had somehow become somewhat disheveled. Her collar was slightly open, revealing a dizzying expanse of snow-white skin and delicate collarbones.
What was even more fatal was that her peerlessly beautiful face, usually as cold as frost, was currently flushed with an unnatural redness, like a fully ripe peach that would drip water at the slightest touch.
Her breathing was rapid and heavy. Every rise and fall of her chest carried a suppressed trembling.
"Senior... Senior Sister?" Ye Xuan called out tentatively, but alarm bells were ringing wildly in his heart.
Something was wrong.
This woman was at least a mighty figure at the Integration Realm. Even if she was suppressing her cultivation right now, her physical constitution was still there. How could she fall ill for no reason?
Hearing his voice, Xia Lengyue slowly turned her head.
Her originally clear phoenix eyes were now covered in a layer of blurry mist. As her gaze flowed, charm oozed from her, capable of hooking away a person's very soul.
"Junior Brother..."
Her voice was hoarse and soft, carrying a hint of unbearable moaning. "Save... save me..."
Ye Xuan's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly got up and rushed over, but abruptly hit the brakes three steps away from her, looking anxious yet not daring to overstep his bounds. "Senior Sister! What happened to you? Could it be that you were ambushed by someone while trying to save me earlier? Or did you suffer internal injuries?"
Seeing his nervous appearance, Xia Lengyue secretly found it amusing.
Silly boy.
Who in the world could possibly hurt me?
She curled her body up slightly. Due to the unbearable sensation, her slender legs rubbed against each other, making a faint rustling sound. This scene was enough to make any man's blood boil.
"No... it is not an injury..." Xia Lengyue bit her luscious lower lip, seemingly trying her best to endure some kind of pain, and spoke intermittently. "Just now... I saw a crimson fruit growing in this cave, brimming with spiritual energy... I thought it was a Vermilion Fruit, so... so I ate it..."
Speaking up to here, she let out a low, unbearable moan, her fingers tightly gripping the cold jade beneath her until her knuckles turned white.
"Who knew... it was the legendary Yin-Yang Joyous Union Fruit..."
Hearing this, Ye Xuan's heart immediately skipped a beat.
Yin-Yang Joyous Union Fruit?
You have got to be kidding me!
This kind of low-level aphrodisiac spiritual fruit was absolute garbage to a powerhouse of Xia Lengyue's caliber, not even qualifying as a mere condiment!
A trap!
This was definitely a trap!
This was a test!
Ye Xuan's brain worked at lightning speed, and he immediately realized something.
Thus, Ye Xuan perfectly displayed a state of utter shock and panic, even his voice trembling. "Joyous... Joyous Union Fruit? Then what should we do? Senior Sister, how can I save you? Do we need to find a detoxifying herb? I will go right now!"
Saying that, he turned around to run.
"Do not go!"
Xia Lengyue suddenly reached out her hand. An invisible suction force pulled Ye Xuan back, making him stumble a few steps and almost fall onto her.
A faint, cold fragrance mixed with her currently unique, sweet body scent instantly drilled into Ye Xuan's nose.
"It is too late..."
Xia Lengyue's eyes were blurry, seemingly having lost her rationality. She stared dead at Ye Xuan, like a traveler in the desert staring at the only source of water. "This kind of poison... has no cure... It must... must be resolved through the harmony of Yin and Yang..."
As she spoke, she struggled to prop up her upper body. Her clothes slipped down, revealing a large expanse of her smooth, fragrant shoulders.
"If not... within half an hour, I will... explode and die..."
She said these last few words in an incredibly sorrowful tone, as if she had truly reached the juncture of life and death.
Watching this scene, the depths of Ye Xuan's eyes were filled with a cold, dead silence.
Explode and die?
Who are you trying to fool!
The spiritual energy sealed within your body is enough to level this entire secret realm, and a single fruit is going to make you explode? This is clearly just you wanting to sleep with me!
Ye Xuan sneered repeatedly in his heart.
This woman treated him like a dog with utter disgust in their past life. Now that she had reincarnated, she actually wanted to play this kind of trick?
However, Xia Lengyue had a completely different calculation in her heart at this moment.
Of course she was faking it.
But it was not just faking.
She truly wanted to possess Ye Xuan.
In her previous life, she did not know how to cherish him, and only regretted it when she lost him.
In this life, she used a secret technique to reconstruct her physical body, erasing all traces of her no longer being a virgin, and re-cultivated a pure Profound Yin Physique, returning to her maiden state.
She wanted to give her cleanest and most perfect first time to Ye Xuan.
She would use this to make up for the regrets of her past life, and also to completely lock down this man.
"Junior Brother..." Xia Lengyue reached out, her scalding fingertips gently touching the back of Ye Xuan's hand, her gaze deeply affectionate and enticing. "Save me... I will not blame you..."
Ye Xuan's whole body stiffened, and he pulled his hand back as if he had been electrocuted, his face full of terror and helplessness. "How... how can we do that! Senior Sister, you are a proud daughter of heaven, the future pillar of the sect. I... I am just an outer sect disciple with a lowly status. How could I desecrate you, Senior Sister!"
"Moreover..." Ye Xuan swallowed hard, his face flushed red, and his voice as quiet as a mosquito. "Senior Sister, I... I have absolutely no experience!"
Hearing this, a surge of wild joy welled up in Xia Lengyue's heart.
No experience?
That meant his Primal Yang had not been leaked!
Wonderful!
"Having no experience... is for the best..."
A subtle, eerie curve hooked the corner of Xia Lengyue's mouth, but her voice grew even more charming, carrying a hint of guidance. "Junior Brother... it is my first time too... We... are a perfect match..."
She thought Ye Xuan would succumb right then and there.
After all, facing the proactive devotion of the Azure Cloud Sect's number one beauty, what man could resist?
However.
Ye Xuan's reaction once again exceeded her expectations.
He fiercely slapped his thigh, as if he had made some major decision, and looked at Xia Lengyue with firm eyes. "Senior Sister! Rest assured! I absolutely will not just watch you explode and die! Wait for me!"
Xia Lengyue was stunned. "What are you going to do?"
"I am going to figure out a way!"
With that said, Ye Xuan didn't give Xia Lengyue any chance to react. Slipping away as if his soles were oiled, he pushed his speed to the absolute limit and turned into an afterimage, darting out of the cave with a whoosh.
"Eh? Ye Xuan! Come back!"
Xia Lengyue was dumbfounded.
She lay on the cold jade bed, maintaining her seductive posture, completely left hanging in the wind.
Is this kid... an idiot?
I'm already like this, what are you running for? Did he go take a bath?
Thinking of this, a wave of sweet complaint rose in Xia Lengyue's heart: What a blockhead... But, knowing to wash yourself clean before coming back shows you have some consideration.
She lay back down and adjusted her posture to make her collarbones and curves look even more perfect, quietly waiting for her "shy" junior martial brother to return.
An incense stick's worth of time passed.
Hurried footsteps finally echoed from the cave entrance.
"Senior Sister! Senior Sister, hold on! You're saved! You're saved!"
Ye Xuan's voice was filled with excitement and the joy of claiming credit.
Xia Lengyue's heart fluttered. He's here!
She hurriedly closed her eyes, let out a delicate moan, and readied herself to welcome Ye Xuan.
However.
Thud!
A muffled sound of a heavy object hitting the ground rang out right beside the bed.
Immediately following was an unfamiliar, nauseating stench of sweat.
Xia Lengyue's eyes snapped open.
She saw Ye Xuan standing by the bed, panting heavily, his forehead covered in sweat.
And thrown at his feet was a man tied up tightly with a rag stuffed in his mouth!
The man was wearing the Daoist robes of the Chiyang Sect, looking terrified. Evidently, he had been wandering alone nearby and was directly knocked out and kidnapped by Ye Xuan.
"Senior Sister! You're saved!"
Ye Xuan wiped away his sweat, pointed at the man on the ground, and said with an expression of awe-inspiring righteousness, "I just went out for a spin and happened to catch a disciple of the Chiyang Sect! This guy is physically strong, and he has a Fire spiritual root, so his Yang energy is incredibly robust! He can definitely help you detoxify!"
The air froze in that very instant.
The flush on Xia Lengyue's face instantly receded, replaced by a suffocating, livid pallor.
She stared dead at the Chiyang Sect disciple on the ground, then looked at Ye Xuan, whose face practically screamed "praise me," feeling a surge of qi and blood churning in her chest. She almost genuinely suffered qi deviation.
"You..." Xia Lengyue's voice was trembling, this time out of pure anger. "You want me to sleep with him?"
Ye Xuan blinked his big, innocent eyes and nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "Yeah! Didn't you say, Senior Sister, that you needed Yin-Yang harmony? Although I can't do it, I can find someone for you! To save you, Senior Sister, let alone kidnapping one guy, even if I had to kidnap the Young Master of the Chiyang Sect, I wouldn't hesitate!"
The Chiyang Sect disciple on the ground nodded frantically, as if to say: Hurry, I'm the one. Come on.
Xia Lengyue felt like her lungs were going to explode.
She had racked her brains and put on such a huge act, even going so far as to ruin her image by pretending to be in heat, all just to consummate her relationship with you, Ye Xuan!
And in the end, you bring back some random wild man for me?
"Ye Xuan!"
Xia Lengyue gnashed her teeth. Her eyes, which had originally been filled with lust, were now colder than ten-thousand-year ice. "Throw him out right now!"
"Huh?" Ye Xuan looked completely bewildered. "Why, Senior Sister? Although this guy looks average, he's still a man! Saving your life is what's important!"
"No!" Xia Lengyue was trembling all over, suppressing the urge to commit murder as she scrambled for an excuse. "His... his aptitude is too poor! He doesn't have a Five Elements spiritual root... He can't... can't help me neutralize the medicinal effects..."
"Oh! So that's how it is!"
Ye Xuan suddenly understood and slapped his forehead. "I didn't think it through! Senior Sister, wait here. There are still many sect disciples nearby, I'll go find you one with a complete set of Five Elements spiritual roots! I remember the eldest senior brother of Flowing Cloud Valley seems to have them... Hold on, Senior Sister, I run fast, I'll kidnap him and bring him right back to you!"
With that said, he turned around and was about to run off again.

With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes.

He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night.

While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
