The Carefree Little Immortal [Complete] - 21

Chapter Eight: The Peach Blossom Tears in the Cauldron

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault!" Xiao Xuan kissed away her tears, inwardly cursing himself for being so cruel.

Yao Yao cried incessantly, her slender arms tightly embracing him.

Xiao Xuan felt a pang of heartache, tenderly comforting her until Yao Yao gradually stopped crying.

"Why haven't you looked for me for so long?" Yao Yao asked him softly.

Afraid of worrying her, Xiao Xuan simply replied, "I've been busy traveling lately and forgot for a moment."

Yao Yao's eyes reddened again, her nose twitched, as if she was about to cry again.

"Don't cry, don't cry, or it'll hurt so much here," Xiao Xuan said, pointing to his chest.

Yao Yao quickly bit her cherry lips, forcing back her tears, and gently rubbed his chest with her hands.

Xiao Xuan's heart truly ached, and he suddenly said, "Yao Yao, close your eyes."

Although Yao Yao didn't understand, she obediently closed her eyes.

Xiao Xuan quickly rummaged through his magic pouch, took out an object, and gently wrapped it around her neck and body, laughing, "Alright, you can open your eyes now."

Yao Yao opened her eyes and saw a soft, silky ribbon wrapped around her body, its entire length shimmering with iridescent light, dazzling and beautiful as a dream. She was stunned and exclaimed, "So beautiful... What is this?"

"A rainbow you can touch," Xiao Xuan smiled.

"Is it for me?" the little peach spirit asked excitedly, touching the rainbow.

"It's for you," Xiao Xuan said.

"Ah, I'm so happy!" Yao Yao cheered joyfully, her pretty eyes sparkling with excitement.

Suddenly, she pounced on him and kissed him on the lips. Xiao Xuan seized the opportunity and hugged her tightly, giving her a passionate kiss.

Yao Yao warmly welcomed him, her pink arms tightly embracing him, repeatedly offering her delicate tongue to his mouth.

With her fragrant body and soft jade in his arms, and after a short separation, Xiao Xuan's heart burned with desire, and he couldn't help but feel a stirring of lust.

"Xiao Xuan, why aren't you wearing any clothes?" Yao Yao asked breathlessly.

"I want to play a game with you," Xiao Xuan whispered, his kisses growing more passionate, his hands groping and exploring, kneading Yao Yao's soft, pink breasts through the thin veil and rainbow-colored fabric. Yao Yao's face

flushed, her innocent, watery eyes gazing at him.

Xiao Xuan, aroused, was about to push her down when he noticed her expression falter, and she exclaimed,

"What's wrong?" Xiao Xuan asked.

"This smell..." Yao Yao wrinkled her nose and sniffed, exclaiming in surprise, "It smells like Chu Hua!"

"What?" Xiao Xuan still didn't understand.

Yao Yao looked around, her gaze settling on the Gathering Dragon Cauldron not far away. With a gentle struggle, she slipped out of his arms and floated like smoke to the cauldron.

Xiao Xuan quickly followed.

Yao Yao peered into the cauldron, reached in, and scooped up a small handful of crimson grass, picking one up and biting into it.

"Don't eat this! I don't know what it is!" Xiao Xuan quickly stopped her.

"It really is Chu Hua! This is edible, the juice is very sweet, it's something I used to love to eat." Yao Yao beamed.

"You've eaten this before? You can eat?" Xiao Xuan asked, looking at her.

"Yes, I can eat it. I'll eat anything that's delicious." Yao Yao said.

Xiao Xuan immediately remembered the night he coaxed her to drink.

"Wow, there are so many good things in here!" Yao Yao reached down and picked up something else, a nearly purple branch with countless tiny holes, its shape completely different from ordinary branches.

"This is edible too?" Xiao Xuan asked, surprised. The purple branch looked like it was made of bone or stone, seemingly very hard.

"This isn't edible, but it can be used to brew wine and also as medicine. It's called Dragon Bone Coral, and it has excellent analgesic effects." Yao Yao said.

"Are you sure?" Xiao Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He had heard Li Mengtang mention dragon bone coral before. It was said to be formed from the remains of a rare dragon called the Erosion Dragon, and could only be found in a few deep-sea areas of the Outer Sea, making it extremely rare.

"Yes, I've seen it. There's this in the Empress's alchemy room. It must be true. Look, my hand feels numb when I touch it," Yao Yao said.

Xiao Xuan touched it with his hand, and sure enough, his fingers and palms felt numb. He said, "No wonder I felt a little numb when I was soaking in it. It turns out this thing is the culprit." He thought to himself, "That old bastard is really generous to me, giving me such a precious treasure." "

You're soaking in here?" Yao Yao asked curiously, "Why are you soaking in here?"

Afraid that she would worry about him, Xiao Xuan made up a story, "Taking a bath."

"Ah! And this!" Yao Yao exclaimed, scooping up another clump of dark red algae-like substance from the water.

Seeing her excited expression, Xiao Xuan asked, "What's this?"

"These are shrimp whiskers. The Queen said they're very nourishing and extremely good for our Peach Clan," Yao Yao said.

Xiao Xuan's heart stirred, and he said, "Then let's enjoy them!" He picked her up and leaped into the Dragon Gathering Cauldron.

"Ah! How strange, it really does feel a little tingly," Yao Yao giggled.

Xiao Xuan saw a patch of goosebumps on her fair shoulders and found them incredibly cute, so he couldn't help but lean down to kiss them.

"Huh?" Yao Yao stomped her feet a few times, then suddenly bent down and picked up a colorful, plum-sized object from the bottom of the cauldron.

"What did you find?" Xiao Xuan asked while kissing her.

"It's a toad stone!" Yao Yao exclaimed in surprise, turning the object over and over to examine it.

Xiao Xuan absentmindedly uttered an "oh" and continued kissing her snow-white neck and fragrant shoulders.

"Look..." Yao Yao squeezed hard, and water suddenly spurted out. The colorful pebble inexplicably shrank to the size of a longan.

Xiao Xuan was stunned for a moment, but what attracted him more was the little fairy in front of him.

"Look, you squeezed it, and it became this small. Isn't it interesting?" Yao Yao said happily, as if she had found a very fun toy.

As if infected, Xiao Xuan looked at her bright smile and felt a sense of ease and joy in his heart, a feeling he had not felt for a long time.

"This kind of stone absorbs water and slowly dissolves the impurities and filth in the water. There used to be something like this in the Empress's alchemy room, but I don't know where it went later," Yao Yao said.

Xiao Xuan remained silent, just staring at her blankly.

"Xiao Xuan?" Yao Yao finally noticed and looked at him, saying, "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"

"We..." Xiao Xuan swallowed.

"Hmm?" Yao Yao asked, "We what?"

"Play games?" Xiao Xuan stared at her.

"Now? Sure." Little Peach Fairy replied with a smile, her interest piqued.

Xiao Xuan suddenly embraced her, burying his face in her pink breasts, and took a bite of the red cherry-like nipple.

"Right here?" Yao Yao groaned softly.

Xiao Xuan remained silent, sucking on her breasts for a while before spitting out the already erect pink nipple and instead licking and teasing it with his tongue, occasionally circling the tender, silk-like areola.

Yao Yao breathed softly, her hands hesitantly stroking the man's hair, when suddenly she went limp.

Xiao quickly hooked her up, letting her lean against the edge of the cauldron, one arm around her waist and the other reaching down, finding her between her legs...

"Xiao Xuan... your hand... um..." Yao Yao moaned.

"How is it?" Xiao Xuan whispered, his finger becoming completely slippery as soon as it entered the tight flower path.

"What do you want? Harder?" Xiao Xuan asked softly, adding more pressure to his finger, turning the thrusting into pressing, and the speed increasing.

"No, no... it's... I need to... stop... I need to pee..." Yao Yao trembled, unable to speak.

Xiao Xuan suddenly understood and laughed, "It's not pee, it's about to come out."

"Stop... wait a moment... ah!" Yao Yao cried out sharply, her delicate voice not yet finished, when her body suddenly tensed up, and then she trembled like she had a seizure.

Xiao Xuan suddenly felt a warm current rush out from the bottom of the water along his finger, heading straight for his palm and wrist. Although it was also warm and moist, it did not have the slightly numb feeling of vaginal fluid sticking to the skin, and it was not sticky or thick. He was surprised: "Could it really be that she peed?"

Yao Yao was tense and trembling, her eyes were droopy and her face was as red as the sunset, her cherry lips trembled and her voice was indescribably delicate.

Seeing her irresistibly alluring and captivating, Xiao Xuan's heart pounded and his veins throbbed. He abruptly tore off the blouse tied around his waist and, groping in the water, pressed himself against her. He used his hot glans to pry open her tender, narrow opening and thrust tightly against her.

Yao Yao, still trembling, spurted out her fluids, soaking his penis.

Xiao Xuan felt the warmth of his shaft, his glans being sucked and tingled by her tender vulva, a tingling sensation spreading through him. With a sudden thrust, he penetrated her delicate opening amidst the girl's cries.

Yao Yao felt as if struck by lightning. She tried to pull away, but her flower was already deeply penetrated, the impact causing a sharp, piercing pain that made her numb all over.

Xiao Xuan continued thrusting, his movements rhythmic and forceful, stirring the water in the cauldron into a turbulent, bubbling mess.

Yao Yao was so aroused that her body swayed wildly, her delicate body leaning against the edge of the cauldron, sliding lower and lower until she gradually lay flat, her shoulders almost slipping into the soup. She had no choice but to release the man and use her arms to support herself on the edge of the cauldron.

Xiao Xuan held her waist, effortlessly hitting her flower core again and again. In the midst of the pleasure, he felt that the girl's tender vulva could only fit more than half of his penis inside. He thought to himself, "Yao Yao is so shallow..." In the heat of passion, he savored her even more.

Yao Yao was extremely happy, her flower path raining honey droplets, but because her vulva was different, it remained tightly closed from beginning to end. Except for some of the honey that was taken away by his penis, almost none of the honey leaked out, making it incredibly smooth.

Xiao Xuan felt that the fluid inside her was accumulating more and more, and it was becoming hot and burning. His penis was moving inside her, it was so smooth and oily that it was indescribable. He unconsciously increased the speed of his thrusts, and suddenly his penis swelled up, revealing the true form of the Xuan Yang Panlong Pestle.

Yao Yao was already struggling to resist, and now, subjected to the precious pestle, her flower core tingled with a mixture of soreness and itchiness. A deep desire welled up within her, and her left arm, which was supporting her on the edge of the cauldron, suddenly slipped, causing half her body to fall into the soup.

Xiao Xuan quickly caught her, lifted her up, and placed her back on the cauldron. His eyes caught a glimpse of a small foot protruding from the water due to her loss of balance. His heart fluttered, finding it incredibly beautiful. He picked it up to examine it closely, finding it delicate, slender, and smooth like a bamboo shoot. He couldn't help but love it more and more, holding it and playing with it.

"Xiao Xuan..." Yao Yao whispered, because in her fall, the alluring treasure had slipped from her flower.

Xiao Xuan held her foot, turning it over and over, gently kneading and caressing it, unable to put it down.

"Xiao Xuan!" Yao Yao called out sweetly, her beautiful eyes fixed on the crimson rod protruding from the water, her watery eyes filled with unspeakable resentment and endless longing.

But Xiao Xuan seemed oblivious, still intently manipulating her little foot, gently rubbing it against his face for a while before suddenly kissing and licking it with his lips and tongue.

Yao Yao groaned, feeling an increasing emptiness and unbearable urge within.

The little foot in his hands was simply too tempting, not only snow-white, smooth, and soft like cream, but also exuding a faint fragrance. Xiao Xuan couldn't help but stick out his tongue, slipping it between the girl's toes and licking them gently.

Yao Yao felt a slight itch and heat, her tense body softening, and her heart fluttering with each teasing touch of the man's tongue.

Xiao Xuan's tongue explored every crevice of the little foot, still reluctant to leave, when suddenly he opened his mouth and swallowed the girl's plump, round big toe whole, sucking on it like a baby nursing.

"Ah..." Yao Yao let out a soft moan, unable to hold back any longer. One hand quickly slipped underwater, covering her tender, yearning jade clam...

Because one leg was raised high, her private parts were very close to the surface of the water. Her hesitant, flailing hand was quickly noticed by Xiao Xuan. He was slightly surprised, then suddenly lifted her lower body out of the water.

"Xiao Xuan... quick... come in... play with me!" Yao Yao cried out tremulously. Her fingers, which were pressed against the clam's mouth, were covered with moist fluid, glistening with an alluring crystalline light.

Xiao Xuan swallowed hard and said, "Rub it, rub it for me."

Yao Yao's fingers obediently moved, pressing and rubbing the upper corner of the jade clam in circles. A pearl-like pink bud suddenly rose, its lines clearly emerging from the fleshy mound.

Xiao Xuan stared wide-eyed. Although they had made love several times, this was the first time he had observed this little peach clam at such close range.

Yao Yao's breathing grew increasingly rapid and delicate, her fingers kneading faster and harder, stretching her smooth, full breasts into various erotic shapes.

Xiao Xuan, his mouth dry, kissed her tiny, bamboo-like feet repeatedly.

Suddenly, Yao Yao stopped, her vulva trembling, a gush of clear, sweet nectar gushing from her tightly closed vulva, flowing into her buttocks and dripping into the soup.

"So beautiful!" Xiao Xuan exclaimed softly.

"Xiao Xuan, you're playing with me," Yao Yao whimpered plaintively.

"Baby, keep kneading for me." Xiao Xuan leaned forward and kissed the inside of her thigh, mischievously instructing, "Put your fingers in, put them in for me to see."

"Put them in?" Yao Yao asked fearfully, "No, I'm scared."

"What's there to be scared of? Putting them in will feel even better," Xiao Xuan coaxed softly.

Yao Yao tentatively inserted her fingers slowly into her tightly closed vulva, letting out a soft moan.

"That's right, like that, deeper... a little more in..." Xiao Xuan said happily, "Then pull your finger out, um, put it back in..."

Yao Yao did as she was told, and began to move timidly.

"Faster, faster is more comfortable." Xiao Xuan earnestly explained, finding himself increasingly enjoying being this little vixen's teacher.

Yao Yao obediently sped up, occasionally letting out seductive moans.

"Is it more comfortable now?" Xiao Xuan asked, his blood boiling. At this moment, he felt there was nothing more exciting than teaching an innocent little girl to masturbate. Yao Yao

shook her head, humming in a daze, "No, it's not as comfortable as playing with me."

"I'll play with you too, this is playing with you, don't stop, faster." Xiao Xuan encouraged her while kissing her, his hot lips raining down around her petals.

"Ah, I want... I want..." Yao Yao suddenly cried out.

"Want what?"

"I want it to come out!"

"Okay, then let it come out!" Xiao Xuan said happily.

"But I...I..." The little peach spirit pulled her finger out from the flower crevice and pressed it back against the tender bud, rubbing it harder and faster this time.

"Why did you take it out?" Xiao Xuan asked.

"I don't want it to come out by itself, I'm scared." The little peach spirit trembled in panic.

"Don't be afraid, I'm right here." Xiao Xuan quickly comforted her.

"I want Xiao Xuan, Yao Yao wants Xiao Xuan, you...you touch me, okay?" Yao Yao cried out in a coquettish voice.

"Wait a minute, now I want you to do it yourself, I want to watch you do it yourself," Xiao Xuan said, his penis already throbbing painfully, but he gritted his teeth and endured it because of his playfulness.

"But I...I..." Yao Yao whimpered, her voice trembling with tears.

"Good Yao Yao, let me see, I want to see!" Xiao Xuan panted.

"Mmm." Yao Yao nodded, biting her lip tightly.

"Come on, rub faster! Faster!" Xiao Xuan commanded.

Yao Yao rubbed her fingers rapidly, her brows furrowed and her eyes tightly closed, it was hard to tell whether she was suffering or enjoying it.

Xiao Xuan held his breath, staring intently at her secret place, afraid that the beautiful sight would pass in an instant.

"I can't get it out..." Yao Yao suddenly whimpered again, her head flailing and her legs kicking in frustration.

Xiao Xuan paused for a moment, then quickly said, "I'll help you!" He put her legs on his shoulders, freeing his hands to insert two fingers into her tender vulva and press and manipulate it.

Before long, Yao Yao's body tensed, her snowy belly arched suddenly, and she cried out urgently, "Want...want..."

Xiao Xuan quickly increased his strength, his fingers striking the swollen area on the upper wall of her flower path with the speed of a bee or butterfly fluttering its wings.

"Ah!" With Yao Yao's shrill cry, the first spurt of flower fluid gushed out, soaking both of their fingers and palms. In the blink of an eye, the second spurt followed, this time spraying out, the hot, sticky flower fluid splashing directly onto Xiao Xuan's face and hair, then flowing like a waterfall, extremely spectacular and captivating.

"Wow! So beautiful! Really beautiful!" Xiao Xuan exclaimed loudly, truly smitten with this adorable little vixen. Yao

Yao continued to convulse, her waist arching again and again, her charming face trembling as if she were weeping.

Xiao Xuan licked the flower nectar from his lips and was surprised to find that the peach spirit's essence contained a hint of sweetness. He was both astonished and delighted, and immediately lowered his head, pressing his face against the flower petals, sucking and licking like a bee gathering nectar.

Yao Yao was even more beautiful, and under the man's kisses, she let out several streams of nectar mixed with the flower essence.

After a while, Xiao Xuan raised his head from the flower stream, leaned down to the girl and whispered softly, "Yao Yao, you are so sweet."

Yao Yao seemed not to hear him, sobbing softly, her soul seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing the girl so alluring, Xiao Xuan's desire grew wilder. He noticed a piece of purple coral floating nearby, which was the dragon bone coral Yao Yao had mentioned earlier. He scooped it out of the soup, held it in his hand, and carefully pried open the clam's lips with one hand, inserting it cautiously.

"Ah!" Yao Yao exclaimed.

Xiao Xuan remained silent, pushing the dragon bone coral in his hand to the end of the flower path, and then gently began to thrust in and out.

"Ugh... No! This won't do!" Yao Yao's waist trembled wildly. Although the dragon bone coral was extremely light, it was very hard. How could she withstand the poking of her flower core? Moreover, she had just lost her virginity, and her insides were soft, tender, and extremely sensitive.

But Xiao Xuan was obsessed with playing with her, not only continuing to thrust with his hand, but also thrusting faster and faster, saying, "Try it and see if it's fun."

The medicinal soup in the cauldron already had a numbing effect, and with the addition of this dragon bone coral, which was even more numbing, Yao Yao only felt pain in her flower core, but her insides were numb. She almost went crazy from her master's playing.

The dragon bone coral had been submerged in the sea for a long time, but its surface was covered with fine pores. It was slippery, yet rough. With each thrust, the girl's tender pink flesh in the shallow part of her vulva was pulled out from time to time, a sight that was both shocking and captivating.

Xiao Xuan glanced down, then looked at Yao Yao. Seeing her delicate eyes half-closed, her allure was palpable, and he thrust even harder.

Yao Yao couldn't resist; she jerked her legs away, slipping off the man's shoulders, and tightly closed her legs, gripping the dragon bone coral tightly.

Seeing her intense reaction, Xiao Xuan's desire surged even greater. He parted the girl's legs and thrust a few times, then she closed them tightly again, panting, "Good Yao Yao, let me play a little longer!" Yao

Yao shook her head, only keeping her legs tightly closed.

"Didn't you want to play a game with me?" Xiao Xuan coaxed.

"Yao Yao wants Xiao Xuan, not that thing," Yao Yao replied pitifully, a tear unnoticed on her cheek.

Xiao Xuan, seeing this, suddenly felt a surge of lust. A pang of tenderness mixed with a desire to make the girl cry again, yet he also adored her earlier coquettishness. He wasn't about to give up so easily. He noticed the many arched handles formed by the bodies of dragons cast along the four sides of the cauldron. A thought struck him, and he forcefully spread the girl's legs wide, grabbing one foot on each side and inserting it into one of the handles.

Chapter Nine: The Phantom

"Xiao Xuan!" Yao Yao stared at him in surprise.

Xiao Xuan gripped the dragon bone coral tightly and, without a word, began thrusting again.

Perhaps it was because of this innocent girl, perhaps it was because of this obedient little vixen, that he dared to be so unrestrained and wanton.

"No, no, no! It's going to...it's going to break!" Yao Yao cried out, begging for mercy and struggling desperately, but her feet were trapped in the arched opening, and her waist and hips were firmly held by the man, making escape impossible.

Xiao Xuan teased her relentlessly, gazing at her pitiful face, her snow-white skin flushed with rosy blush, and her alluring body, made even more seductive by her contortions. His desire burned like oil, his hands growing heavier, poking and pounding the dragon bone coral relentlessly.

Yao Yao was utterly terrified, quickly ejaculating her second time amidst pain and tingling.

"Is it comfortable?" Xiao Xuan asked softly, kissing her.

Yao Yao nodded then shook her head, panting softly, "Yao Yao, don't play like this, Yao Yao is so scared."

At this moment, her eyes were glazed with intoxication, her body glistening with fragrant sweat, her appearance incredibly languid and pitiful.

Xiao Xuan stared at her intently, then looked around, stomping his legs a few times at the bottom of the cauldron before suddenly bending down to retrieve something.

"Xiao Xuan…where are you going?" Yao Yao was bewildered when she saw Xiao Xuan stand up, holding a colorful, strange object in his hand—the toad stone he had just told her about.

Xiao Xuan squeezed hard, causing the water inside the stone to splash everywhere, shrinking it to the size of a longan.

"Let me down? My legs are so numb," Yao Yao pleaded, feeling a sharp pain in her ankles, which were dangling from the cauldron's rim.

"Play a little longer," Xiao Xuan smiled mysteriously at her, his hand holding the stone quietly moving to her crotch.

"Ah!" Yao Yao's eyes widened suddenly.

Xiao Xuan had pried open her labia and was stuffing the toad-shaped stone into her vulva.

"You... how could you..." Yao Yao cried out in panic.

"Is it fun?" Xiao Xuan asked with a smile, pushing the toad-shaped stone, already fully inserted, deeper into her vulva with his finger.

"Quick... take it out!" Yao Yao cried out urgently.

"Is it uncomfortable?" Xiao Xuan asked with a grin.

"It... it absorbs water, it gets bigger!" Yao Yao cried out in fear.

"That's how it's supposed to be," Xiao Xuan said wickedly.

"I won't be able to get it out later!" Yao Yao cried out in panic.

"Huh, it won't move anymore, is it all the way down?" Xiao Xuan asked, staring at her.

"Take it out quickly." Yao Yao felt a tightness deep inside, her tender flower core was being pressed down by the toad stone.

Xiao Xuan increased the pressure on his fingers and tried to push a few more times, but unexpectedly, it suddenly sank in, the toad stone had been pushed somewhere.

"Aiya!" Yao Yao cried out softly, it turned out that the stone had been pushed into the jade dome below her flower core by the man, which was extremely tender, and she immediately felt weak all over, goosebumps rising on her snow-white skin.

"Where did it go?" Xiao Xuan asked curiously, his fingers randomly hooking and probing deep inside her flower path.

"Mmm..." Yao Yao trembled and groaned, it was truly "adding insult to injury", not only was her secret place invaded, but her tender heart was also being frequently touched by the man.

Unable to find it, Xiao Xuan retreated to shallower areas to search, and pressed the swollen area above the flower wall several times.

Yao Yao suddenly felt the urge to urinate again, gasping for breath and crying out, "Take it out quickly!"

"I'm looking for it, aren't I? Don't worry, I'll definitely get it out for you," Xiao Xuan coaxed. He searched everywhere but couldn't find it, and suddenly remembered the time when Fei Luo gave her the inner core, thinking, "Could it have gone into the flower's heart?"

"Ah, it's changing...changing!" Yao Yao felt a rapid swelling deep inside her abdomen. It turned out that the toad stone had absorbed the honey from her vagina and was beginning to swell.

"Where is it?" Xiao Xuan asked hurriedly.

"Inside...inside, very inside!" Yao Yao whimpered.

"Very inside? There's nothing there?" Xiao Xuan searched deeper.

"Below, a little bit below!" Yao Yao's chest heaved violently, and she could hardly breathe.

"Ah, I found it! It was hidden here!" Xiao Xuan exclaimed excitedly, his fingertips finally touching the swollen toad stone, but it seemed stuck somewhere, and he couldn't get it out for a long time.

"Quick...get it out...it's so swollen..." Yao Yao kept urging.

Xiao Xuan tried for a long time, using every method he could think of, but not only could he not get the toad stone out, he also stimulated the girl to the point of wanting to urinate.

"Ah! It...it..." Yao Yao suddenly cried out softly. It turned out that the toad stone, which had been soaked with her honey, had returned to the size of a goose egg, pushing up the flower heart that was lying on the jade dome.

Xiao Xuan also noticed this strange change and was extremely surprised.

Yao Yao's cheeks were flushed red, and she twisted her waist and legs unbearably, stirring the soup in the pot with a gurgling sound. Suddenly, she let out a soft moan, and a stream of hot juice gushed out from the clam mouth that was tightly gripping the man's fingers. The juice was cloudy with white fluid, and she had actually urinated a little.

Xiao Xuan could no longer restrain himself. He pulled out his finger and, amidst the girl's spasms, thrust it into her again. His massive member, taking advantage of the oily slipperiness, rammed all the way in, pressing the girl's tender flower core more than an inch into the pool.

This was truly powerful. Yao Yao felt a rush of soreness, numbness, pain, and itching. Her snowy belly convulsed uncontrollably, and she immediately climaxed, spraying her vaginal fluids onto the man's legs and abdomen.

Xiao Xuan hadn't expected her to climax so quickly, and his excitement surged wildly. He began to thrust and pound relentlessly, far more fiercely than before.

Each time, Yao Yao's tender core was pushed deep into the pool, but in the blink of an eye, it would be bounced back by the toad-shaped stone inserted underneath, still erect and pointed, helplessly and inescapably enduring the next double attack of his glans and the toad-shaped stone.

"No... I don't want to play anymore... I don't want to play anymore..." the little peach spirit cried out in a trembling voice.

But at this moment, Xiao Xuan had no time to spare for tenderness. A surge of desire welled up within him, and with each thrust, his penetration deepened, each stroke more intense than the last.

Yao Yao had never experienced such a storm; she was overwhelmed with pleasure, her body and soul seemingly melting away.

Finally, the toad-shaped rock at the bottom of the pool, which had somehow been pushed open, revealed a soft, yielding opening. With one of Xiao Xuan's withdrawals, the rock sprayed out with a "plop" into the water.

Xiao Xuan thrust in again, and compared to the previous cushioning with the toad-shaped rock, he felt the girl's depths were now soft and yielding. He thrust a few more times, then suddenly ejaculated. He cupped her soft, pink buttocks and pressed them against himself, simultaneously thrusting his penis forward, piercing her clitoris and ejaculating rapidly.

"Ah!" Yao Yao cried out, holding on for a few breaths before fainting in blissful pleasure.

"Yao Yao…" Xiao Xuan whispered softly, kissing her skin with boundless tenderness.

"Xiao Xuan..." Little Peach Fairy slowly woke up.

"Was it fun just now?" Xiao Xuan asked mischievously.

"Mmm." Yao Yao actually nodded.

Xiao Xuan was quite surprised and teased, "Then... do you want to play like this again next time?"

"Mmm." Yao Yao still nodded, so obedient that it made one's heart ache.

Xiao Xuan was overjoyed and pressed his forehead against hers, saying, "Baby, I won't be so crazy next time."

But Yao Yao shook her head.

"Hmm?" Xiao Xuan was puzzled.

"Yao Yao really liked how Xiao Xuan was just now, it was so different from other times, you sweated so much..." Yao Yao's eyes were misty, as if she was still immersed in the afterglow of the previous bliss, and after a while she said again, "No matter what, as long as Xiao Xuan is happy, Yao Yao will be happy."

Xiao Xuan was stunned, staring at the girl in front of him for a long time before kissing her again, his lips burning like fire and his kisses falling like rain.

The two were deeply in love, and having just reunited after a short separation, Xiao Xuan summoned Yao Yao every night. They were inseparable, their love as sweet as honey.

For some reason, Yao Yao's time in human form quietly increased, but the two, preoccupied with their love, didn't notice and always felt their precious nights were too short.

As for the rest of the time, besides soaking in medicinal baths, Xiao Xuan diligently studied the mechanisms and armor-controlling techniques within the Cloud Shadow, and began preparations to create a "Phantom."

Unfortunately, he discovered he lacked many of the materials needed to create the Phantom, and most seemed indispensable.

But Xiao Xuan refused to give up, sometimes even considering risking using existing materials as substitutes.

"Using other materials might backfire like the Invincible General did,"

Xiao Xuan hesitated, his brow furrowed in worry as he soaked in the medicinal bath.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, his gaze falling on the large medicine cabinet not far away.

"There are so many treasures there, I wonder if they contain what I need?" Thinking this, he leaped out of the cauldron with a "whoosh," his juices dripping as he hurried to the large medicine cabinet. He began searching through each drawer, and in a moment found the ingredient he needed, his heart pounding. Sure enough, he found several more, his heart leaping with joy.

He searched like this all afternoon, finding almost all the necessary materials from the hundreds of drawers.

"Haha, that old bastard has quite a lot of treasures! He ruined my thousand-year-old spirit phoenix, it's not unreasonable for me to use some of his materials!" Xiao Xuan was extremely excited, immediately taking a little of everything, and also casually picking up a few less-needed, rare materials, wrapping them in paper, and categorizing them into his Ruyi Pouch.

That night, he slipped into the dense forest, found a secluded spot, cleared a space, hastily built a wooden shed, and then began to create phantoms according to the descriptions in the Cloud Shadow.

Working until dawn, they finally completed the basic outline of the Phantom, gathered some materials, and crafted several internal mechanisms before finally going to bed satisfied.

This continued for five or six days, and the Phantom had grown from a rudimentary form to a more fleshed-out creature. Xiao Xuan, through the incredibly complex process, gained new knowledge of mechanical arts and armor-manipulation techniques, finding them endlessly fascinating and becoming increasingly engrossed.

Besides this, he occasionally practiced the Transformation Technique according to the descriptions in the Cloud Shadow. Whether it was because Fei Luo had previously analyzed the key points and difficulties, or for some other reason, his progress was remarkably smooth and rapid. Most recently, he even successfully conjured a small, adorable, chubby bear, much to Yao Yao's delight.

By the eleventh night, the Phantom was nearly complete, finally reaching the final stage of spirit infusion. According to the Cloud Shadow, the creator needed to inject fresh blood as a source of spiritual energy.

"Jade Emperor, Amitabha Buddha, Namo Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, please bless me to succeed this time...

" Xiao Xuan's heart pounded. He clasped his hands and silently prayed to all the gods. He took the Eight-Clawed Flaming Dragon Whip off his arm, infused it with the Qi of Li Huo, and suddenly saw the scales on it flare up. He gently cut his wrist and then quickly pressed the wound against the top of the Phantom's head, letting the blood flow from the groove on it. At the same time, he silently chanted the Control and Restraint.

Suddenly, the phantom's body began to glow faintly, and after a moment, it shimmered with a dazzling array of colors, extremely beautiful.

Xiao Xuan was overjoyed, suppressing his excitement as he continued to infuse blood and chant the incantation. Finally, he reached the last moment and shouted, "My dear Shui'er!"

This wasn't the original incantation from the control spell, but rather the activation command he had set for the phantom.

The body lying on the ground shone brightly, and the phantom began to move.

Xiao Xuan stared wide-eyed, his heart pounding as if it would burst from his chest, but after a while, the phantom still didn't rise, instead struggling on the ground as if in extreme pain.

"What's going on? According to what I've recorded in the Cloud Shadow Manual, this phantom should move like a rabbit, swift as lightning..." He pondered, his excitement gradually freezing.

"My dear Shui'er!" Xiao Xuan shouted again.

But the light on the phantom's body rapidly diminished, and its movements gradually slowed and stopped, finally becoming completely still.

"Ugh... Failed? Where did it go wrong again?" Xiao Xuan's face was ashen as he racked his brains over the fading light of the phantom, unable to find the root of the problem. In his anxiety, he couldn't help but cry out, "Baby, why won't you get up!"

Suddenly, he heard someone laugh beside him, "It would be strange if it could get up."

Xiao Xuan was startled and turned to look, only to see the White-Browed Old Man standing not far away, smiling. He didn't know how long he had been there.

"When did you arrive?" Xiao Xuan asked in surprise.

"Not long ago, right when you were performing the spirit-activating ceremony," the White-Browed Old Man replied with a smile.

"You... you know what I'm doing?

" Xiao Xuan asked again. "Yes, " the White-Browed Old Man

replied. "You knew from the beginning?" Xiao Xuan asked again.

The White-Browed Old Man nodded.

"You... how could you know? You've been following me?" Xiao Xuan glared at him.

"Do I have the time for that? I'm busy enough dealing with people every day," said the White-Browed Old Man. "Don't forget, this Misty Forest is my territory. What can escape my notice?"

Xiao Xuan was dumbfounded, suddenly remembering his intimate moments with Yao Yao these past few days, and his face flushed red.

The White-Browed Old Man seemed to see through him and laughed, "Having a little fairy by your side, life must be quite comfortable, right?"

It seemed this guy knew something. Xiao Xuan steeled his heart and said recklessly, "You ruined my thousand-year-old spirit phoenix first, so I'm using some of your materials!"

"Use them if you want, as many as you want is fine," said the White-Browed Old Man.

Xiao Xuan was quite surprised. Most of those materials were very rare, and he didn't expect him to be so generous.

"However, it seems you didn't use some materials correctly," the White-Browed Old Man's gaze swept over the Phantom Shadow and continued, "So your treasure can only lie on the ground." Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan hurriedly asked, "Where did I use them wrong?" "Your treasure's frame is made of treasure bottle bamboo, isn't it?" the White-Browed Old Man asked in return

. "That's right. Cloud Shadow says that the best material for the Phantom's body is Rainbow Jade, but it also says that if that's not available, Golden Essence or Treasure Bottle Bamboo can be used instead, though the speed will be slightly slower," Xiao Xuan said. "Substitutes are possible, but since we're using Treasure Bottle Bamboo, other materials used elsewhere must also be changed accordingly. For example, the Radiant Powder used to coat the skin and the Phoenix Orchid Juice used to maintain spiritual energy both clash strongly with Treasure Bottle Bamboo, so they must be refined or simply replaced with other materials," Xiao Xuan exclaimed. White-browed Elder continued, "Also, Tiger Fiend Stone is extremely domineering and cannot be used directly. It must be crushed and then boiled in Ghost Dry Vine Juice three times and seven times to remove its poison before it can be used." "You... why didn't you tell me this sooner?" Xiao Xuan was speechless. "Did you ask me?" White-browed Elder said. Xiao Xuan was speechless for a while before saying, "What should we do now? Is there any way to remedy this?" "Yes, but..." White-browed Elder pondered. "But what?" Xiao Xuan asked anxiously. "But you'll owe me a favor because of this..." said the White-Browed Old Man. "That's right, how about I repay you later?" Xiao Xuan hurriedly said. "No need for repayment, just promise to do one thing for me." said the White-Browed Old Man. "What is it?" Xiao Xuan asked. "I haven't thought of it yet." The White-Browed Old Man blinked and said, "Just promise me first, and I'll tell you when I think of something later." "No problem, as long as it's not something heinous." Xiao Xuan quickly declared. "Hmm, I won't ask you to do anything heinous." said the White-Browed Old Man. "Okay, I promise you, tell me how to fix it quickly." Xiao Xuan said impatiently. "Give me this treasure and give me two days, I'll help you readjust the materials, and then..." said the White-Browed Old Man. "Then what?" Xiao Xuan asked anxiously. "Then, take it to the Mystic Source and re-infuse it with spirit." said the White-Browed Old Man. "Why do I have to go there to infuse it with spirit?" Xiao Xuan asked in confusion. "Because it connects to the Crystal Pool's energy vein, it has a stabilizing effect on materials with different properties and qualities that interfere with or conflict with each other," said the White-Browed Elder. Xiao Xuan suddenly remembered Fei Luo's description of the Crystal Pool's miraculous effects and exclaimed in realization, "So that's how it is! We can use that place to resolve the conflict between the Radiant Flame Powder, Phoenix Orchid Juice, and Treasure Bottle Bamboo, right?" "Yes, it's an excellent place for refining treasures and forging weapons. If your treasure has any other undiscovered problems, they can likely be resolved as well," said the White-Browed Elder. "Thank you so much! I'll be relying on you for the next two days!" Xiao Xuan said excitedly, his previous dejection completely gone. For the next two days, the White-Browed Elder personally refined materials for the Phantom, while Xiao Xuan closely followed, observing and asking questions. The White-Browed Elder patiently answered all his questions, teaching him many wondrous and rare methods of blending and refining. "What's this?" Xiao Xuan asked, staring at a dish of constantly changing powder in the White-Browed Elder's hand. "Illusory Flame Phoenix Bone Powder," said the White-Browed Elder. "This..." Xiao Xuan said, "Where is this going to be used? This material isn't mentioned in Cloud Shadow. " "I'm going to add it to the coating material for the Phantom's exterior," said White-Browed Old Man. "Is it okay to just add things like this?" Xiao Xuan stammered. "Of course it's okay," White-Browed Old Man glanced at him. "Are you sure?" Xiao Xuan asked worriedly. "Yes," White-Browed Old Man replied, about to pour the powder from the dish into the small cauldron of boiling soup in front of him. "Wait! " Xiao Xuan hurriedly grabbed his arm: "Are you really sure? What makes you so sure? " "Based on my thousands of years of understanding and research into the properties of materials," White-Browed Old Man glared at him. Xiao Xuan then let go, forcing a dry laugh: "That's good, that's good." "Don't worry, if I ruin your treasure, I'll replace it with one ten times better, how about that?" White-Browed Old Man said irritably, pouring the powder into the boiling soup, instantly creating a large, dazzling burst of light—a truly wondrous sight. "It's alright, it's alright, go ahead and try it." Xiao Xuan smiled amiably, though her heart was pounding. "I think using it to enhance the Flame Powder should make it even more effective," said Bai Mei Weng, stirring the soup with a large wooden spoon.

"Thank you, thank you very much," Xiao Xuan said with a forced smile, secretly hoping nothing would go wrong.

"No need to thank me, this Illusionary Flame Phoenix Bone Powder was originally yours," said the White-Browed Elder.

"My things?" Xiao Xuan was taken aback.

"Yes, it's the material extracted from your spirit phoenix," the White-Browed Elder said, tossing down his wooden spoon and clapping his hands.

"Ah, didn't you use that bird to cook?" Xiao Xuan was confused, remembering how he almost fell out with him over it.

"Using it for cooking was only part of it. There are other parts of that bird that are even better for extracting materials, such as its bones, internal organs, blood, and feathers," the White-Browed Elder said slowly.

Xiao Xuan froze.

"Don't worry, I'll return those materials to you when you leave," the White-Browed Elder continued.

Without saying a word, Xiao Xuan grabbed his hands tightly, his voice choked with gratitude.

The White-Browed Elder forcefully pulled his hands away, involuntarily shivering.

Two

days later, Xiao Xuan carried the Phantom, refined by Bai Mei Weng, into the Misty Abyss and laid it down in the center of the lotus-shaped boulder.

He once again clasped his hands in silent prayer to all the gods, this time greatly expanding the scope, reciting a long list in one breath: "Great Luo Heaven Primordial Heavenly Venerable, Xuanqiong High Jade Emperor, Future Golden Palace Jade Morning Heavenly Venerable, Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerable, Supreme Pure Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerable, Taiqing Supreme Laozi, Central Heaven Purple Micro North Pole Great Emperor, Gouchen Upper Palace Heavenly Emperor Great Emperor, Earthly Emperor, Dipankara Buddha, Shakyamuni Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, Medicine Buddha, Lapis Lazuli Light Tathagata, Amitabha Tathagata, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, please have mercy and bless me to succeed this time..."

After Xiao Xuan finished praying, he took a few deep breaths, then used the scales on the Eight-Clawed Flaming Dragon Whip to cut his wrist, placed it on the Phantom's crown to inject blood, and began to silently chant the Control Spell.

The phantom's body suddenly glowed, even more dazzling and radiant than before.

Xiao Xuan, overjoyed, suppressed his excitement and continued chanting. After a lengthy initial setup, he finally uttered the final activation command: "My dear water!"

In an instant, a burst of light erupted, shooting out like a rainbow or a shooting star, darting and darting through the cave at an astonishing speed.

Xiao Xuan stared in disbelief, unable to see the phantom within the cascade of light. After a while, he remembered to test its control, immediately chanting in his mind, "Come here! Stand in front of me and don't move!"

The moment this thought arose, the light, which had been skimming along the cave wall, streaked towards him and stopped in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Only then did Xiao Xuan see the phantom's appearance clearly. Its entire body shone brightly, its crystal-clear form radiating ever-changing, dreamlike light. Its face, without eyebrows, eyes, nose, or mouth, appeared even more eerie and mysterious in the light.

"It must have succeeded. Let me test its power again..." He looked around, then suddenly pointed upwards, thinking, "Cut off that largest stalactite."

The phantom instantly burst forth, shooting straight up like a rainbow to the cave ceiling, which was over ten feet high. A loud bang followed, and then a huge stalactite, cut in half, plummeted downwards, crashing into the water with a deafening crash, splashing up a large spray.

Xiao Xuan was overjoyed and shouted, "I'm coming for you! Don't let me catch you!" With that, he gathered his strength and leaped into the air, instantly soaring to the cave ceiling, which was over ten feet high.

"Ah! What's going on?" He had never experienced such a leap without any support before, and was greatly surprised. He suddenly realized that this must be because he had obtained Fei Luo's inner core and had entered the realm of ascension.

The phantom indeed obeyed. Seeing Xiao Xuan flying over, it suddenly leaped and disappeared into the distance like lightning.

The two chased each other through the cave. Xiao Xuan felt as light as the wind, able to go wherever he wanted in an instant. He was truly free and carefree, exclaiming and shouting, his heart filled with ecstasy: "This is what flying feels like! I can fly! I can finally fly!" Even with

the Three Wonders of the Tenth Chapter

, Xiao Xuan still couldn't catch up with the lightning-fast phantom, never even touching its edge.

"Amazing! Amazing!" he exclaimed with mixed joy and delight, extremely satisfied with his latest creation. Suddenly, he remembered Bai Mei Weng and thought, "He deserves a lot of credit for this success. I can't forget him."

Xiao Xuan was grateful and eager to go find Bai Mei Weng to thank him and show off. He immediately shouted, "My precious Yao Yao!" This was not the original incantation in the control spell, but a stop command he had set for the phantom.

Suddenly, the phantom that had been darting through the cave flew over and pounced on the shadow behind him, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Xuan wandered around, carefully examining his own shadow as he went. Finding nothing unusual, he couldn't help but exclaim loudly, "Wonderful! Truly wondrous!" He didn't know whether he was praising the inventor, the phantom, or himself.

He happily ran towards the cave entrance, but just as he reached it, a figure flashed by. It was Old Man White Eyebrows entering, excitedly saying, "You've come at the perfect time! Come and see my phantom!" But Old

Man White Eyebrows' face was grave. He said, "Don't go out!"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Xuan asked, startled.

"Someone's coming," Old Man White Eyebrows said in a deep voice.

"Who's coming?" Xiao Xuan asked.

"I don't know," Old Man White Eyebrows replied.

"Don't know?" Xiao Xuan was completely bewildered and asked again, "Is it the enemy? How many are there?"

The old man with white eyebrows said, "Step back, I need to activate the restrictions here."

Xiao Xuan quickly retreated, noticing the unprecedented tension in his expression, and was secretly surprised. He asked, "The enemy is very powerful, isn't they?"

"Yes, they destroyed all the restrictions of the Misty Forest," the old man with white eyebrows said.

"Destroyed them all?" Xiao Xuan was stunned.

The old man with white eyebrows chanted incantations, making hand seals and gesturing towards the cave entrance to cast a spell.

"So it's those people from the Seven Evil Realms again?" Xiao Xuan asked.

"No, last time they broke in, they only broke the entry and exit methods, they didn't have the ability to destroy the restrictions of the Misty Forest," the old man with white eyebrows said.

Suddenly, a bright light shone, and a green curtain of light covered the cave entrance like a screen. Thin electric currents snaked and crawled across it, and talismans surged like a tide, clearly indicating an extraordinary magical restriction.

"Who could it be? And who is more powerful than those people from the Seven Evil Realms?" Xiao Xuan murmured.

"There aren't many people in the world more powerful than those from the Seven Evil Realms, but there are definitely quite a few," said the White-Browed Elder, pondering in his heart, "The strongest three routes—the Heavenly Court, the West, and Chong Yuanzi—are already blocked by the Holy Empress. Who could this new route be?" "

What should we do now?" Xiao Xuan asked.

"You stay here, I'll go see who's coming," said the White-Browed Elder.

"I'll go with you," Xiao Xuan said.

"No, you wait here. I've already activated the restriction to seal the cave entrance; it's relatively safer here,

" said the White-Browed Elder.

Xiao Xuan was worried about letting him go alone, so she said, "Since they were able to destroy the Maze Restriction, this place might not be safe either. I'd better go with you."

Bai Mei Weng shook his head, staring at the azure light screen in front of him, and said, "This restriction is called 'Unsolvable.' It is the culmination of my thousands of years of hard work. Although it does not have the vast power of the Maze Restriction, it has its own unique features. In addition to the original restriction, it also contains seventeen rare and different restrictions. If anyone who does not know how to enter or exit forces their way in, their flesh and bone marrow will be destroyed and their three souls and six spirits will be cut off, preventing them from entering the cycle of reincarnation for eternity."

"So powerful!" Xiao Xuan gasped, his admiration for the old man growing ever stronger.

"Although there will certainly be someone in the world who can break it, I'm certain that the number will not exceed ten,"

the white-browed old man said proudly.

Suddenly, someone chuckled, a voice as melodious as a nightingale's song: "Perhaps, I am one of those ten.

"

The white-browed old man's heart skipped a beat, and he saw the green curtain disintegrate piece by piece, followed by flashes of golden light. He hurriedly retreated.

Xiao Xuan saw the white-browed old man suddenly take flight, with someone following closely behind him like a shadow. In the blink of an eye, they had already leaped to the top of the cave wall, which was several dozen feet high. Before he could react, he saw the two stop. Only then did he realize that the one chasing the white-browed old man was a palace woman, dressed in a robe as if wrapped in rainbows and shimmering with clouds. She had a full bust and a slender waist, and her figure was unusually tall and alluring. In her hand, she held an unsheathed longsword. The scabbard was dazzling, as if cast in gold, and adorned with countless gems, as numerous as the stars in the Milky Way.

The unsheathed sword tip actually touched the White-Browed Old Man's heart.

Xiao Xuan swiftly drew his Eight-Clawed Fiery Dragon Whip from his sleeve, but seeing the White-Browed Old Man restrained, he dared not move rashly.

"It's...you!" The White-Browed Old Man's face turned ashen, forced against the mountain wall.

"Long time no see, Brother White-Browed, how have you been?" the woman smiled, her feet hovering in mid-air, her robes flowing freely.

"So it's you! No wonder you could destroy my Maze-like Barrier!" the White-Browed Old Man sighed.

"Such a powerful barrier, it took me an hour or two to create," the woman said coquettishly.

Hearing this, Xiao Xuan on the ground was secretly shocked: "Who is this woman? She destroyed the Maze Barrier in just an hour!"

Bai Mei Weng stared at her and said in a deep voice, "Wu Pianxian, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Xuan's heart trembled: "Wu Pianxian? She's the traitorous Wu Pianxian, the number one in martial arts, formations, and mechanisms in the sect?"

"I heard..." Wu Pianxian said, "There's a little fox here with you. I came to see if it's true."

Xiao Xuan was furious: "Could she also be here to steal the Innate Tai Xuan?"

"What do you want?" Bai Mei Weng growled, his face showing anger.

"I want to take him away from here," Wu Pianxian said softly.

"Don't even think about it!" Bai Mei Weng roared.

"Brother Bai Mei, you can't stop me, can you?" Wu Pianxian said with a charming smile.

Bai Mei Weng suddenly calmed down and said calmly, "The Empress knows he's here."

Wu Pianxian chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter, even if she knows, there's nothing she can do. Besides... she's in quite a bit of trouble right now, otherwise she wouldn't dare come here."

"What did you say? What trouble is the Empress in?" Bai Mei Weng asked in surprise.

"Alright, now let me keep your precious gourd for a while. I don't want to taste the bitterness of your eleven broken True Profound Pearls." Wu Pianxian stared intently at him, still holding her sword in one hand, while her other hand slowly reached for the gray gourd tied to his waist.

Bai Mei Weng's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Brother Bai Mei, Pianxian doesn't want to hurt you. Don't take any risks. Although the treasure is in its sheath, my armor-piercing technique can probably break through your protective true qi." Wu Pianxian warned with a smile, her fingertips getting closer and closer to Bai Mei Weng's gourd.

The old man with white eyebrows suddenly slid to the side, gliding along the wall like lightning. His sleeve caught the gourd, but just then, the golden scabbard that he had seemingly gotten rid of inexplicably reappeared on his chest, lightly touching it.

"I told you not to do anything reckless," Wu Pianxian said coquettishly, flicking the scabbard and knocking away the gray gourd from his waist.

The old man with white eyebrows paused in mid-air for a moment, then suddenly plummeted headfirst downwards.

Xiao Xuan was shocked and hurriedly rushed forward. Just as he was about to leap up, his vision blurred, and a graceful figure appeared in front of him. Xiao Xuan roared and attacked, his Eight-Clawed Fiery Dragon Whip striking out in all directions, but all his attacks missed. Not only that, a golden scabbard appeared out of nowhere, piercing through his defenses, its tip lightly touching his throat.

At this moment, the old man with white eyebrows had already plummeted from a height of several dozen feet, crashing heavily into the water, splashing up a large spray.

Unable to move, Xiao Xuan cried out to the old man with white eyebrows who had fallen into the water, "How are you?"

"I'm... fine... you run away..." the old man with white eyebrows groaned intermittently.

"Why should he run away?" Wu Pianxian scolded, floating down from the air and landing on the stone steps, but the tip of her sword remained firmly against Xiao Xuan's throat.

Only then did Xiao Xuan get a clear look at the woman before him. Her hair was styled in a dragon bun, and she wore jade earrings. Her skin was as smooth as jade, and her eyes were as clear as autumn water.

She exuded charm with every glance, truly like a celestial being descended to earth. What was striking was the strange, iridescent sash tied around her slender waist. Moreover, her left arm was sleeveless, revealing a bare, snow-white arm. Several turns of dark rope were wrapped around her forearm near her wrist, with a dark gold ancient coin tied to it. The coin was cast with two wings, which was quite peculiar.

Xiao Xuan was dumbfounded. He had heard that Wu Pianxian was a great beauty, but he was still stunned by the stunning beauty before him.

Although she couldn't compare to the peerless Little Demon Queen, she was on par with Fei Luo, and the two even shared a striking similarity: both possessed an indescribable charm and allure. Fei Luo was more alluring, while this woman was more seductive.

Wu Pianxian was also staring at him, her eyes gleaming with surprise.

"Come on, stab me!" Xiao Xuan roared.

"You're Cui Xiaoxuan?" Wu Pianxian asked.

"So what if I am?" Xiao Xuan glared at her.

"Then call me 'Senior Uncle' first. I'm seventh among the third-generation disciples, a little ahead of your master," Wu Pianxian said with a smile.

"What are you trying to prove! You're a traitor, long gone from my sect!" Xiao Xuan said righteously.

"Huh…" Wu Pianxian chuckled, "If I'm not a member of the sect, then who are you? I heard you were expelled by your master?"

Xiao Xuan froze, his face turning ashen, his spirits extinguished.

Wu Pianxian looked at him and said, "It seems the rumors are true. Alas, now we are both in the same boat, so we should cherish and sympathize with each other. Why don't you come with me?"

"Go with you?" Xiao Xuan was stunned for a moment. "Where to?"

"To a very fun place, you'll definitely like it," Wu Pianxian said.

The old man with white eyebrows in the water suddenly shouted, "Don't let her fool you! This demoness is the best at deceiving people!"

"Why should I fool him!" Wu Pianxian said coquettishly to Xiao Xuan, "Don't listen to his nonsense."

Xiao Xuan said, "You're pointing your sword at me, how can I acknowledge you as my senior uncle?"

"Now that neither of us are members of the Xuan Sect, it doesn't matter whether you acknowledge me as your senior uncle or not." Wu Pianxian said as she withdrew her hand and lowered her sword.

Suddenly hearing Xiao Xuan's soft shout, the Flaming Dragon Whip shot up like a fire dragon, attacking her from all directions.

But the astonishing attack abruptly stopped. Xiao Xuan's hand, gripping the whip, froze in mid-air, the tip of a golden sword scabbard resting on his wrist.

"Little guy, you're trying to coax me into sheathing my sword, aren't you?" Wu Pianxian smirked.

Xiao Xuan blushed, and after a long while, he said, "So you've been wary of me all along!"

"Luckily, I was wary of you," Wu Pianxian laughed.

"How can I dare to go with you like this?" Xiao Xuan blinked.

"Then what will it take for you to come with me?" Wu Pianxian asked.

"We each take three steps back, prepare ourselves, and have a fair fight. If you win, I'll go with you," Xiao Xuan said.

"Alright." Wu Pianxian readily agreed, taking a step back. Just as she was about to step onto the next stone step, a burst of flame erupted, and the Fiery Dragon Whip swept towards her lower body.

It turned out that Xiao Xuan knew her martial arts skills were astonishingly high, and figured he couldn't win using conventional methods, so he launched a surprise attack.

But this time, he failed again. Xiao Xuan was utterly embarrassed and frozen on the stone steps, unable to attack or retreat, because the tip of the golden sword sheath was pointing right at his brow.

"Didn't we agree to each take three steps back? You're cheating." Wu Pianxian said.

What was going on? Xiao Xuan was shocked, completely unable to understand why he had been instantly subdued despite having the upper hand, and he hadn't even seen how she made her move.

This woman's martial arts skills were terrifyingly high.

"This is called 'all's fair in war,' haven't you heard of that?" Xiao Xuan said, stubbornly maintaining his composure.

"You're really shameless, just like someone else!" Wu Pianxian said with a slight reproach, a faint blush suddenly appearing on her jade-like cheeks.

"Let's start again, this time I won't take advantage of you." Xiao Xuan said loudly, as if he were the one who had been subdued.

"Snap!" With a sound, Wu Pianxian lightly tapped his forehead with the tip of her scabbard, sheathed her sword and said, "Come on, you little rascal."

Xiao Xuan concentrated his mind and breathed, continuously pouring his true fire energy into his weapon. Suddenly, the Eight-Clawed Flame Dragon Whip spewed out raging flames, its thickness reaching over a foot, its power strangely terrifying. He was both surprised and delighted: "My true energy has become much stronger!"

Wu Pianxian, however, kept her sword scabbard down, raising her head to look at a ray of sunlight shooting in from the crack in the cave ceiling, lost in thought.

"Here it comes!" Xiao Xuan shouted, swinging his whip fiercely. A fire dragon rushed forward, crimson flames soaring, but before he could even make half a move, his abdomen was blocked by the golden scabbard.

"Are we still fighting?" Wu Pianxian asked.

"You... what kind of sorcery did you use?" Xiao Xuan stammered.

"It's martial arts," Wu Pianxian said.

"I don't believe it. What kind of martial arts could there be in this world?" Xiao Xuan shook his head.

"Do you know Prince Zhang?" Wu Pianxian asked.

"Prince Zhang? Prince Zhang, the disciple of the Great Sage National Teacher Wang Bodhisattva?" Xiao Xuan said.

"Yes, that's him." Wu Pianxian nodded.

"Of course I know him. It's said that his martial arts are extraordinary, rarely matched, and he once helped his master subdue the powerful Water Mother Goddess." Xiao Xuan said.

Wu Pianxian said, "Back then, he went to Phoenix Cliff and specifically invited me to spar. Guess how many rounds he fought with me?"

"You've sparred with him?" Xiao Xuan thought for a moment and said, "If it were just a martial arts contest, I guess you could probably last twenty or thirty rounds?"

"He only lasted one round against me." Wu Pianxian said calmly.

Xiao Xuan was dumbfounded.

"So there's no point in fighting me. No matter how much you try to cheat, you won't win," Wu Pianxian said. "Come with me now."

"I don't believe it! Absolutely not! With Prince Zhang's skills, how could he only last one move against you? You must be bragging," Xiao Xuan shouted.

Wu Pianxian sighed and said, "Alright, I'll play with you a little longer. I'll move slower so you can see clearly, okay?" Xiao Xuan swung

his whip again, and this time he indeed saw Wu Pianxian's move. He saw it clearly, yet he was still subdued in one move.

He felt completely bewildered and launched another attack without saying a word, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't last a single move against Wu Pianxian. It often seemed as if Wu Pianxian casually raised her sword, waiting, and then he would obediently offer his forehead, eyes, chest, lower abdomen... these vital parts at different speeds and angles. If Wu Pianxian truly wanted to take his life, he would probably be dead a hundred times over.

The more Xiao Xuan fought, the more uneasy he became, his temper almost completely worn down, and he suddenly lost all confidence in the martial arts he had been practicing.

"Idiot, you can't beat her!" White-browed Elder shouted.

Xiao Xuan suddenly realized, stopped his whip, and ceased his attacks.

"Alright, that's enough playing around, come back with me now," Wu Pianxian said softly, like an older sister calling her playful younger brother home.

Xiao Xuan felt extremely tired and almost agreed.

"Don't fall for her tricks! This demoness played a part in your misfortunes in your past life!" White-browed Elder shouted.

Xiao Xuan was startled, suddenly shivering, and remembered Fei Luo saying that if he were captured and taken to Phoenix Cliff, he would be imprisoned for eternity.

"Don't listen to him, your sister would never hurt you," Wu Pianxian said.

Xiao Xuan took a step back.

"It's not safe here. Only I can protect you right now," Wu Pianxian continued.

Xiao Xuan remained silent, brandishing his whip across his chest.

"Wake up! This vixen is trying to trick you! Run!" Bai Mei Weng shouted again.

"Do you believe him or me?" Wu Pianxian sighed softly.

Xiao Xuan stared at her warily.

"Do you know?" Wu Pianxian met his gaze and said, "Anyone in this world could harm you, but I won't."

Xiao Xuan stomped his foot and suddenly leaped backward.

"Idiot! Don't run!" Wu Pianxian bit her lip and chased after him.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Xuan had already rushed out of the cave. With a surge of true energy, he soared into the air in a few steps.

At this moment, his true energy was abundant. Flying in the air, he felt exhilarated and refreshed, many times faster than his previous land-based flying technique.

But Wu Pianxian relentlessly pursued him, not only catching up but also drawing ever closer.

"What to do…" Xiao Xuan's mind raced. Seeing that he would soon be caught, he suddenly chanted a forbidden incantation, opening his magic pouch. With a thought, a skeleton carriage flew out. He leaped onto it, and a small, snake-like bone dragon appeared before it. It then rapidly grew, transforming in a few breaths into a gigantic, blood-red bone dragon over thirty feet long.

Wu Pianxian let out a soft "Eh," instantly creating distance.

Xiao Xuan was overjoyed and shouted to the bone dragon, "Run! Run! Run as fast as you can!"

After flying for a while, Xiao Xuan turned to look and saw that Wu Pianxian's figure had shrunk to a dot, seemingly having given up the chase.

"Haha, this dragon is really useful! It's helped me a lot again today." Xiao Xuan was delighted when suddenly a magnificent rainbow arced across the sky, passing overhead. He was stunned, wondering, "There's no wind or rain, how could a rainbow suddenly appear?"

Then the rainbow descended, blocking his path. Where the rainbow dissipated, a stunningly beautiful woman appeared—none other than Wu Pianxian.

Xiao Xuan was shocked and quickly turned his dragon bone around, flying in another direction.

But the rainbow returned, still blocking his way. Wu Pianxian laughed, "A single leap across the rainbow covers nine thousand miles. How can your bone dragon outrun me?"

Sure enough, several times Xiao Xuan tried to dart around, but she easily stopped him each time.

"This bone dragon is not bad. If you try to run away again, I'll dismantle it," Wu Pianxian threatened.

"Oh no! What should I do? What will happen if she catches me? I'll be doomed if she locks me up for life too!"

Xiao Xuan cried out in despair, his mind racing. Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him, and he quickly opened his magic pouch and began rummaging through it.

"If you don't stop now, don't blame me for being impolite!" Wu Pianxian's face darkened, and the golden-sheathed sword in her hand suddenly shone brightly.

"Wait!" Xiao Xuan cried out, obediently stopping his bone dragon and smiling at her, "Alright, I admit defeat, I won't run anymore."

Wu Pianxian retracted her rainbow aura and slowly flew towards the skeleton chariot.

Xiao Xuan smiled at her, leaning back leisurely, his earlier panic completely gone.

Wu Pianxian looked at him suspiciously, reassuringly saying, "Don't be afraid, I really won't hurt you."

"Stop being so self-absorbed, okay? When has Grandpa Saint ever been afraid of you?" Xiao Xuan scoffed, suddenly raising his hand between his fingers and biting down hard.

"What are you doing?" Wu Pianxian sensed something was wrong, and swiftly leaped onto the skeleton chariot.

Xiao Xuan pressed his bitten finger onto a silver-patterned white talisman, the crimson blood spreading out like drops of snow, and grinned, "We'll meet again sometime."

"What kind of talisman is this!" Wu Pianxian exclaimed, grabbing his shoulder with a claw.

Just then, Xiao Xuan's body suddenly began to ripple inexplicably, like water rippling.

Wu Pianxian's face was filled with astonishment. Suddenly, she felt a sudden emptiness in her hand. She quickly tightened her grip, but still grasped nothing.

Xiao Xuan on the skeleton chariot had vanished instantly.

Wu Pianxian was filled with doubt and surprise. She leaped off the skeleton chariot and flew to a higher place, looking around, but Xiao Xuan had disappeared without a trace, as if he had evaporated.

"Idiot!" she gritted her teeth and spat out the two words, her face suddenly filled with anger. She muttered a few words, and then the seven-colored sash at her waist shone brightly. She transformed into a rainbow and flew towards the Misty Forest.

**********************************************************************

The talisman was "Longing." It turned out that when he was desperate, Xiao Xuan suddenly remembered the strange talisman that E Yan had given him. He immediately found it, and at the moment he dripped his blood into the talisman, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. The feeling was truly like that of a lover longing for someone. In the blink of an eye, he found himself in a strange place, where various dreamlike and dazzling colors flowed eerily around him, but everything was blurry and indistinct.

Most importantly, Wu Pianxian, whom he couldn't shake off, was gone. Xiao Xuan was overjoyed: "She was clearly holding my shoulder just now... This talisman is truly amazing! Hmm, it's really good for escaping in a crisis! It's a pity there are only two left..."

He felt relieved, and for some reason, he thought of E Yan. Her beautiful face filled his mind, and he suddenly realized that he missed her terribly. His heart pounded: "Am I really going to see her? I wonder how she is now? Is she still in that mountain full of traps and beasts? What is she doing right now? Is she consecrating spirits? Eating? Walking? Or sleeping?"

Xiao Xuan's mind wandered, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat. He exclaimed, "Could she be... taking a bath... It can't be such a coincidence..."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

"Thinking back... her skin is really strange... so transparent..."

(Episode 8 finished, Episode

9: What is Love? First Deployment of Troops)

Xiao Xuan's thoughts grew increasingly beautiful, his heart burning with desire. Suddenly, the vibrant colors around him vanished, and his vision brightened instantly. He squinted, and then a sharp shout rang out: "Assassins!" "Protect the Palace Master!" "Capture the assassins!" A series of clanging sounds and chilling gusts of air followed. Confused, he opened his eyes and was immediately speechless.

The situation before him was completely different from what he had expected. Instead of encountering a beautiful woman bathing, he was trapped in a dense thicket of swords and spears, countless gleaming blades almost touching him, some even piercing his clothes and skin.

"Heavens! What's going on?" Xiao Xuan was pale and unable to move. This scene reminded him of the moment he fell into the sea of skeletons in the abyss of hell. Back then, his master had rescued him, but who would save him this time?

He should have appeared before E'yan, so had something gone wrong with the Love-Sickness Talisman? Xiao Xuan's mind raced. No matter what, he refused to believe that E'yan would harm him.

"Wait!" A delicate shout rang out at the critical moment, and all the advancing blades immediately stopped.

"All of you, retreat!" The voice was clear and beautiful, yet contained an undeniable authority.

"It's E'yan! It's E'yan's voice!" Xiao Xuan looked in the direction of the voice with suspicion and quickly spotted a bright and captivating face among the retreating weapons. Her eyes were as bright as stars, and her face was as clear as ice. Overjoyed, he cried out, "E'yan!" "

You... how did you get here?"

The girl stood gracefully, still as pure as dew and as sweet as spring water.

"I... I missed you," Xiao Xuan blurted out. Although he had come to escape, half of the truth in his words was genuine.

As soon as he said this, countless gazes immediately focused on his face. Xiao Xuan looked around blankly, only then realizing that he was surrounded by countless demonic beasts and monsters of all shapes and sizes, each clad in armor and wielding weapons, most of them with ferocious appearances, seemingly ready to pounce at any moment.

E'yan's cheeks flushed, seemingly somewhat embarrassed and flustered. After a long pause, she came to her senses and said, "You wait over there for a moment." Her voice was surprisingly cold.

Xiao Xuan froze, his burning passion instantly turning cold.

"Didn't you hear me? Get over there!" A fat, burly man who looked like a general shouted, brandishing a terrifying giant axe, his eyes full of hostility.

Xiao Xuan was annoyed by his disrespectful words and just stared at him coldly without moving.

Not far away, a woman looked at E'yan, then at Xiao Xuan, and suddenly scolded the fat man with the axe, "You fat pig! How dare you talk like that? You're just bluffing people with an axe without even asking what happened!"

The fat man with the axe hesitated.

"Put that weapon down right now!" the woman snapped.

The fat man with the axe dared not disobey, glaring at Xiao Xuan as he reluctantly lowered his massive axe.

Xiao Xuan turned to look at the woman, whose hair was styled in a cloud-like updo, a translucent agate pendant dangling from her left ear, and a pale green bracelet on her right wrist. She was tall and graceful, with a beautiful face, and he smiled gratefully at her.

The woman smiled and beckoned, "Young man, would you like to come over here and wait a bit?"

Xiao Xuan gave the fat man with the axe a cold glance before walking over to the woman's side.

"Continue to obey orders!" the graceful woman commanded softly, the faint blush on her face completely gone in an instant.

"Yes!" A thunderous roar echoed from all around, startling Xiao Xuan.

At this moment, E'yan's hair was styled in a bun and tied at the waist. She wore a purple satin robe with a cloud-patterned brocade lining that tightly outlined the contours of her two pert breasts. The sleeves reached only to her elbows, revealing her delicate, sculpted forearms. A string of purple and red beads was tied to one wrist, and a small bamboo pouch and a bamboo-sheathed knife were tied to her waist. Her attire was neat and tidy, but her face was cold and piercing, exuding an imposing aura.

Behind her stood several pretty female guards in narrow-sleeved, narrow-fitting clothes, each holding a weapon. They were all valiant and their faces were frosty.

Xiao Xuan stared blankly, unable to connect the E'yan he saw now with the sweet and charming girl he had met before.

He looked around and saw towering, vase-shaped bamboo groves standing tall. He had no doubt that this was the Giant Bamboo Valley.

"Master Golden Armor!" E'yan called out.

"Your Excellency is here!" A burly, bald demon general, nearly ten feet tall, stepped forward in response. He wore loose robes and trousers, his chest and belly exposed, with a large, round hammer hanging from each side of his waist. His appearance was extremely fierce, like a giant spirit from the heavens.

"You will lead your troops to ambush east of Giant Bamboo Fortress and launch an attack at 7:45 PM," E'yan ordered.

"Yes!" the golden-armored master responded loudly.

"Giant Bamboo Fortress?" Xiao Xuan's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself, "So E'yan is going to take back her homeland?"

"But you mustn't launch a direct attack; just feign an assault," E'yan continued.

"A feint?" Master Jinjia was taken aback.

"Although the eastern side of Giant Bamboo Fortress is the most open, its defenses are the strongest of the four sides. Not only are there numerous traps and mechanisms, but there are also fifteen crossbow towers, both visible and hidden, with immense power. If we launch a direct attack from that direction, the casualties will be devastating. Therefore, your task is to create a large-scale bluff to attract the strongest defensive forces," E'yan said. "I

see. Rest assured, Palace Master, bluffing is my forte!" Master Jinjia bowed and accepted the order, then withdrew.

"This guy has no armor at all, so how can he be called 'Golden Armor Master'?" Xiao Xuan wondered. He secretly channeled his spiritual power and used his Eye of No Form to look around. He immediately saw the general's true form: a giant golden-shelled tortoise the size of a millstone. He suddenly realized what was going on. Looking elsewhere, he saw that the dozen or so generals around E Yan were all transformed from spirits, either birds or beasts. The true forms of the several pretty guards standing behind E Yan were light green bamboo stalks.

"They're all spirits..." He thought to himself, and quickly shifted his gaze to E Yan, but all he could see was a blur. He couldn't make out what she was.

"Sister Chu Chun," E Yan called again.

"E Yan, I'm here," the beautiful woman beside Xiao Xuan replied.

"I also ask you to lead your troops to Giant Bamboo Fortress at 7:45 PM to coordinate with the Golden Armor Master in launching a feint attack above Giant Bamboo Fortress," E Yan said.

"Should I feign an attack too?" the beautiful woman asked, slightly surprised.

"Yes." E'yan nodded and said, "There are hundreds of mechanical war eagles on the top floor of Giant Bamboo Fortress, all made of spirit bamboo. Their craftsmanship is exquisite and their speed is exceptional. Sister, you only need to entangle them and must not fight them head-on. After I retrieve the Wood-Binding Token, they will collapse on their own and can still be used by me in the future."

"That's easy. Then I'll feign an attack." the beautiful woman said.

Xiao Xuan thought to himself, "So her name is Chu Chun." He couldn't help but secretly use his Eye of No Form to look at her again, but saw no change. He was slightly surprised: "Could this woman not be some kind of spirit?"

E'yan added, "Although those mechanical war eagles are very sharp, they don't fly very high. As long as your troops don't descend too low, they won't be able to do anything to you."

"I understand. I'll do as you say, sister." Chu Chun nodded in response.

"Shadowless King! Mountain-Pulling King! Sun-Piercing King!" E'yan shouted again.

"Your Majesty is here!" Three demon kings who appeared to be generals immediately stepped forward. Xiao Xuan used his Eye of No Form to look at them one by one, and they were a red leopard spirit, a silver python spirit, and a golden eagle spirit.

"Each of you lead your troops to lie in ambush south of Giant Bamboo Fortress. Wait half an hour after the feint attack from the east begins before launching your attack. Be sure to attack according to the previously rehearsed plan. Remember, the three directions of Zhen, Xun, and Gen must not be confused, otherwise we will definitely not be able to withstand the charge of the terrifying feet," E Yan said.

"Yes, sir!" The three demon kings responded in unison and retreated back to their ranks.

"Li Jiuming! Cai Binfen! Cang Qianci! Bu Dao Yi!" E Yan's commands flowed like water.

Four more demon generals, one woman and three men, stepped forward in response. Xiao Xuan used his Eye of No Form again to look at them, and they were a mountain cat spirit, a peony spirit, a porcupine spirit, and a winged blue horse spirit. He couldn't help but marvel at them.

"Each of you will lead your respective forces to launch a fierce attack on the north of Giant Bamboo Fortress at 7:45 PM. Use the formation I have instructed you to advance. Once you reach Starry Night Platform, then proceed according to your assigned positions to attack the Command Pavilion, Teleportation Platform, Warehouse, and Craftsmen's Workshop. Do you all remember your objectives?" E'yan asked.

"Reporting to the Palace Master, we remember!" the four demons replied in unison, accepting the order and retreating.

"I really underestimated her. I didn't know E'yan was so capable. So many demon kings and spirit chiefs obey her commands." Xiao Xuan was increasingly astonished as he looked at her. He couldn't help but admire her secretly. "And she seems to know the art of troop deployment. She commands with such composure and clarity. How could a young girl understand things that only generals and marshals know?"

"Master Men Yinzi," E'yan called softly.

"The mountain man is here." A voice answered from above. Xiao Xuan looked up and saw a man standing on a thin bamboo branch, dressed in loose robes, a sword strapped to his back, with sparse eyebrows, withered hair, and closed lips, looking haggard and sorrowful.

"I request that you lead your disciples to launch an attack from the west of Giant Bamboo Fortress at 3:45 PM, following the predetermined route to the heart of the fortress. If you can seal the armory first, this battle will be half won," E'yan said.
The hidden gatekeeper grunted in agreement.

"I wonder if you have memorized the locations and methods to break those mechanisms?" E'yan asked. The

hidden gatekeeper again only responded with a casual reply.

Eyan continued, "Master, this journey has been extremely dangerous, but it is of utmost importance. I entrust this matter to you."

"Palace Master, you need not be so polite. I know the gravity of the situation and would never dare to entrust it to you." The hidden man nodded slightly, his eyelids lifted slightly, and a sharp glint suddenly flashed in his narrowed eyes, revealing a chilling sharpness.

"Princess?" Xiao Xuan wondered to himself, "Why do all these people call E'yan a princess?"

Curious, he couldn't help but whisper to Chu Chun beside him, "Excuse me, sister, what kind of princess is E'yan? Is she royalty of the Spirit Bamboo Clan?"

Chu Chun glanced at him and smiled, "She's not a princess. The Spirit Bamboo Clan is an otherworldly immortal clan, unlike the mortal world where there are any royal families. E'yan is the Palace Master of the Boundless Palace in our Void Illumination Realm."

"The Boundless Palace in the Void Illumination Realm?" Xiao Xuan was taken aback. "Where is the Void Illumination Realm?"

"Well, how should I put it…" Chu Chun said, "The Void Illumination Realm isn't in the heavens or on the earth. If I had to give a location, it's south of Shengzhou."

Xiao Xuan exclaimed, "Oh, so it's in the Outer Sea… That's not far."

Chu Chun smiled, "It's quite far, but also very close."

"What kind of place is it? The name sounds so ethereal…" Xiao Xuan asked curiously.

"It's very beautiful, and very special," Chu Chun said.

"Special?" Xiao Xuan asked.

"Yes, the meaning of 'illusory reflection' is the illusion of a shadow and the reflection of a mirror. The interaction of the five elements there is mostly contrary to that of the outside world, so many things are different from other places," Chu Chun said.

"The Five Elements' generating and restraining relationships are contrary to those of the outside world?" Xiao Xuan pondered the meaning behind her words, and asked in surprise, "The Five Elements' generating and restraining relationships determine the appearance and essence of all things

in heaven and earth. If they are contrary to those relationships, wouldn't many things be completely unrecognizable?" "That's right, exactly. Compared to the outside world, things there are often surprisingly fragile in some aspects, but incredibly powerful in others." Chu Chun paused and said, "For example, elsewhere cats are the natural enemy of mice, but in the Void Illumination Realm, cats are the mice's prey; and elsewhere water flows downhill, but in many places there water flows uphill. The Great Sage Master Ling Xiaoshi attained enlightenment by sitting in seclusion in the Void Illumination Realm and created the unparalleled Reverse Six Harmonies Talisman Dao."

"There are such places!" Xiao Xuan's mouth dropped open, still finding it hard to believe, and he murmured, "The Five Elements' generating and restraining relationships are contrary to those of other places... This... How is this possible..."

"With the vastness of heaven and earth, what is impossible? Besides, the Void Illumination Realm does not belong to this heaven and earth." Chu Chun said.

"Not belonging to this heaven and earth..." Xiao Xuan suddenly remembered what He Tianpeng had said and said, "Could it be that the Void Illumination Realm, like this Giant Bamboo Valley, is also a rift between heaven and earth?"

"You could say that, but the Void Illumination Realm is even more special than the Giant Bamboo Valley," Chu Chun said.

Xiao Xuan was filled with longing, hoping that one day he could go and see the Void Illumination Realm, but then he heard her say, "Did you use a talisman to get here just now?"

"Yes, how did you know?" Xiao Xuan asked.

"It's not simple..." Chu Chun smiled.

"What's not simple?" Xiao Xuan was puzzled.

"Heh, you actually managed to obtain our E'yan's Love Talisman," Chu Chun replied, his smile quite ambiguous.

Xiao Xuan froze, his face flushing slightly. He stammered, "You...you know about Love Talismans?"

"Of course I know. When E'yan was making these talismans, she even came to my island to collect materials," Chu Chun said, while giving him a free-flowing look.

Xiao Xuan's face grew hotter and hotter.

"By the way, what's your name?" Chu Chun suddenly asked.

"My name is Cui Xiao Xuan," Xiao Xuan replied.

"What sect are you from? Where are you from?" Chu Chun stared at him, his tone somewhat interrogative.

"I...I am..." Xiao Xuan hesitated, unsure whether he should tell the truth.

Seeing this, Chu Chun stopped asking and said, "You came here to help E'yan reclaim Giant Bamboo Valley, right?"

Xiao Xuan shook his head and then nodded, resolutely replying, "That's right, that's why."

"Then you'd better perform well. Our E'yan isn't so easy to win over," Chu Chun said, smiling at him.

"What?! I... I didn't come to help for that..." Xiao Xuan hurriedly protested. Just then, E'yan's voice suddenly rose slightly: "This battle is truly dangerous. Although we caught them off guard, Giant Bamboo Fortress is riddled with traps and mechanisms, and is guarded by many mechanisms that are impervious to fire and water. Its strong defenses are known throughout the realms. If we are careless, the casualties will be enormous. Everyone must be careful." "Rest assured

, Palace Master! We will not fail you!" the demons responded in unison.

"Alright!" E'yan shouted, "Let's go!"

The demon kings and demon generals immediately split up and rushed off, disappearing from the bamboo forest in the blink of an eye. A moment later, a great commotion arose, with countless shouts and howls of humans and beasts echoing all around, the sheer scale of which was awe-inspiring.

"Wow! So many people were hiding around here..." Xiao Xuan was just wondering when he suddenly heard Chu Chun laugh beside him, "I'm going first, good luck!" Without waiting for a reply, she had already leaped up and disappeared into the forest in an instant.

Xiao Xuan blushed and muttered to himself, "It's not what you think..." He turned to look at E'yan and saw her talking quietly with several demon kings and demon generals. He hesitated, unsure whether to go over.

In the brief moment of calm, the earlier encounters flooded his mind. Wu Pianxian's dancing figure and terrifying swordsmanship vividly reappeared. He recalled them carefully and became somewhat mesmerized: "If there is no trace to be found, yet it can be seen clearly; if the speed is not fast, yet every move is decisive... How could there be such terrifying and wonderful martial arts in the world?"

He then pondered, "What kind of person is that woman? Why does she insist that I go with her? Could it be that she is also after the Innate Tai Xuan? Bai Mei Weng keeps saying that she is lying, but she doesn't seem like it at all... Ah! If she can't catch me, I wonder if she will go back to seek revenge on that old bastard?"

Just then, he suddenly heard strange cries above his head. Xiao Xuan looked up and saw dozens of huge strange birds taking flight in the air. Their eyes were bloodshot and their beaks were blood-red. They flew away in two rows into the distance. The largest bird in the lead had a person sitting on its back. The person with a graceful figure and flowing robes was Chu Chun.

"What kind of birds are these? I've never seen them before." He stared blankly, wondering what these strange birds were, when he suddenly heard someone behind him say, "Those are Infant Spoons. They like to eat tigers and leopards, and they are the most ferocious birds of prey in the Void Illumination Realm."

"Eyan!" Xiao Xuan turned around happily, and sure enough, Eyan was standing there.

Their eyes met, and for some reason, both of them became a little awkward.

"Tell me honestly, why did you suddenly come here?" Eyan asked.

"Well... I missed you." Xiao Xuan stammered.

"Really?" Eyan stared at him and asked.

"I just missed you." Xiao Xuan shamelessly insisted, finding it even harder to come up with this reason than to escape a woman's pursuit.

Eyan's cheeks gradually flushed, her icy beauty becoming as radiant as if dyed by the morning sun.

Xiao Xuan's face also burned, but looking at the captivating face before him, he became more and more certain that he wasn't lying.

"But how could you say that in front of... how could you say that?" Eyan whispered.

"You said it too," Xiao Xuan said

, feeling incredibly wronged. "Didn't you say that talisman shouldn't be used carelessly? Only... only..." "But... didn't you see how many people were there just now?" E'yan said with a slight reproach, but her starry eyes sparkled with undisguised joy, a stark contrast to her earlier reserved demeanor.

"So that's what it was about!" Xiao Xuan exclaimed, suddenly realizing, "Ah, no wonder she was so cold to me just now, she was shy."

His heart fluttered inexplicably, and he became happy.

"What are you laughing at!" E'yan asked, her face flushed.

Xiao Xuan chuckled, "Nothing, nothing." Afraid of upsetting the girl, he quickly changed the subject: "Are you planning to take back Giant Bamboo Valley?"

"Yes," E'yan replied.

"So many people are helping you," Xiao Xuan said.

"Yes," E'yan replied absentmindedly, seemingly still recovering from her shyness.

"Do you need more people to help?" Xiao Xuan asked tentatively.

"Yes," E'yan said immediately. "Will you help me?"

"Of course I will," Xiao Xuan replied, though he had come to escape and was still shaken.

"Why?" E'yan asked.

Xiao Xuan hesitated, then stammered, "Nothing much..." "

Nothing much?" E'yan stared at him.

"I just want to help you," Xiao Xuan said with difficulty.

E'yan smiled brightly, biting her lip, her eyes brimming with affection as she looked at him.

But then Xiao Xuan suddenly remembered a reason and added, "Didn't you give me three hundred pieces of Treasure Vase Bamboo last time? Just for that, I'll definitely help you!"

E'yan's smile froze, and she said coldly, "Then you don't need to help!"

"Huh?" Xiao Xuan was confused. "Why?"

"What are three hundred pieces of Treasure Vase Bamboo? How could I dare trouble you to take the risk?" E'yan said calmly.

"It's alright, it's alright. I'm never afraid of adventure; the more dangerous it is, the more exciting it is," Xiao Xuan hurriedly said, wondering why the girl had suddenly become so polite, and why her smile had vanished in the blink of an eye.

"But I'm afraid. This battle is extremely dangerous. If you, Cui Xiaosheng, were to bump or scratch yourself, I would feel terrible," E Yan said coldly.

Hearing her becoming increasingly cold and polite, Xiao Xuan grew anxious and asked, "Have you forgotten the last time we crossed Ten Thousand Spider Ridge?"

E Yan paused slightly and said, "I haven't forgotten."

"Was I afraid then?" Xiao Xuan asked.

"I'm not kidding you, this time it's ten times more dangerous than the last time we crossed Ten Thousand Spider Ridge. Think it over carefully; one wrong move and you're dead," E Yan said.

"Then what about you? If that's the case, I'm even more determined to go!" Xiao Xuan said decisively, "In short, I'm definitely going to help!"

E'yan's expression softened a little, and she said, "What kind of person in the world insists on helping? I didn't ask you for anything."

"I don't need you to ask me!" Xiao Xuan said.

"I won't appreciate it either." E'yan bit her lip and smiled.

"I don't need you to appreciate it!" Xiao Xuan said angrily.

E'yan stared at him, her gaze gradually softening.

Xiao Xuan looked at her, and for some reason, he felt a little flustered.

E'yan suddenly took a step and slowly walked towards him, until she was right in front of him, her delicate body almost touching his.

A faint, pleasant fragrance wafted through the air. Xiao Xuan, flustered, couldn't help but ask, "What?"

E'yan's gaze slowly moved down, landing on his neck. She whispered, "Did they cut you just now?"

"It's nothing, just a tiny bit," Xiao Xuan replied.

E'yan took a handkerchief from a small bamboo pouch at her waist and gently wiped his neck.

The girl's slender fingers were cool and smooth, the handkerchief fragrant and soft. Xiao Xuan's heart pounded, a tingling sensation spreading through him.

"Where else are you hurt?" E'yan looked him over.

"No, nothing," Xiao Xuan replied contentedly, feeling no pain at all from the small cuts on his arms and back.

"Brother Xuan, you really want to help me, don't you?" E'yan whispered.

Xiao Xuan nodded.

"Is everything alright in Zeyang City?" E'yan asked.

"It's alright, we defeated the Skeleton Demon Army. Speaking of which, I really have to thank you for giving me the Treasure Bottle Bamboo," Xiao Xuan said, his thoughts drifting back to his master and his fellow disciples.

"Brother Xuan..." E'yan said, her face flushed, "You came to find me as soon as Ze Yang was out of trouble. I'm so happy... so..."

Xiao Xuan's face burned, but how could he tell the truth now? Gazing at the beautiful, icy face so close to him, he felt refreshed and invigorated.

"A few days ago, I was alone in the Divine Craft Well, and I really wanted to... wanted to..." E'yan looked up at him, her face full of shyness, "I thought it would be a long time before we met again, but I didn't expect you to come so soon."

Xiao Xuan's heart pounded, a wave of dizziness washing over him, an indescribable feeling swirling in his chest.

Just then, someone suddenly called out, "Where is the Palace Master?" "Eyan, we're back!" "The Crown Prince has arrived!"

Eyan quickly withdrew her handkerchief, hurriedly putting it away, and took a step back.

"Eyan, Crown Prince Yuan Yi has arrived with his army and is currently camped outside the valley," a woman called out, her voice sweet and delicate.

Xiao Xuan felt the voice sounded somewhat familiar, and turned his head to look. He saw two girls in colorful robes fluttering towards him like butterflies. When they got closer, he was surprised to find that they were actually the two little fairies, Hu Zi'er and Hu Bi'er.

The two sisters saw him almost simultaneously, their faces showing surprise and joy, and they exclaimed in unison, "Brother Xiaobai! What are you doing here?"
