Song Wen entered the cave's main hall. In the hall, the two people were still immersed in their passionate activity, showing no sign of stopping.
Ying Ni sat on Wu Sui's lap, embracing him with a flushed face.
Ying Ni was facing Song Wen directly as he entered. She threw him a seductive glance with her charming eyes.
A mesmerizing sight!
Heart-stirring!
Seeing that the two were not planning to stop, Song Wen wasn't in a hurry to act. He just stood there watching.
Suddenly, Wu Sui ceased his movements, and his body started to tremble uncontrollably.
At this moment, Ying Ni's eyes, which had been half-closed, abruptly snapped open with a fierce look. The redness on her face quickly faded, replaced by a fierce and twisted expression.
A short sword appeared in her hand, and she stabbed it toward Wu Sui's back of the head.
Just as the sword tip was about to pierce Wu Sui's skull, a green light shield suddenly emerged from him, blocking the blade.
Ying Ni's face showed panic and confusion. Wu Sui was completely naked, so he shouldn't have any magical artifacts.
After all, magical artifacts can't be stored inside the body like spiritual weapons.
Where did the green shield come from?
Having been exposed, Ying Ni could no longer care much. Reluctantly, she stabbed several more times, but all were blocked by the green shield.
Wu Sui slowly lifted his head with a mocking expression.
"Junior Sister Ying, did you really think I was completely unprepared for you?"
Before his words were finished, a black light emerged from Wu Sui's hand. His previously smooth and slender fingers transformed into the dark, withered claws of a zombie, which grabbed at Ying Ni's lower dantian.
The claws pierced through her snow-white, delicate skin, gouging out a piece of fresh, red flesh, leaving a large bloody hole in her dantian.
With her dantian destroyed, her cultivation was ruined. Ying Ni's aura rapidly declined, soon becoming only slightly stronger than an ordinary person.
Ying Ni spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground, her eyes filled with unwillingness and fear.
"You… you clearly don't have a storage bag. Where did that green shield come from?"
Wu Sui slowly stood up, looking down at Ying Ni with a mocking expression.
"That's a bit of my grandfather's power, sealed within my body at the cost of his own cultivation. It's the power of a Golden Core cultivator, my true life-saving trump card, something you lowly cultivators could never access."
"As long as I will it, the power transforms into a spiritual shield, protecting me thoroughly."
"Hahaha…"
Feeling pleased, Wu Sui suddenly threw his head back and laughed.
"Do you think that you, a lowly courtesan, can deceive me with a bit of seduction!"
"Did you really think I didn't notice the storage ring on your hand!"
"How could I be unprepared for you?"
Wu Sui squatted down, bringing his head close to Ying Ni's beautiful face, and whispered.
"This body of yours is truly tempting. It's hard to destroy it."
Hearing this, a glimmer of hope appeared in Ying Ni's otherwise despairing eyes.
She struggled to rise, pressing her voluptuous chest against Wu Sui's calf, pleading.
"Senior Brother Wu Sui, I was just momentarily bewitched. Please spare my life, and I will serve you well from now on."
Wu Sui kicked Ying Ni away.
"There's no need for such trouble. Who knows when you might have ill intentions again? I will seal your soul within your body and turn you into a living corpse, making you serve me forever."
Ying Ni's face turned bitter, as if she could already envision herself becoming a living corpse.
Suddenly, the green shield on Wu Sui's body lit up again.
A cold beam of light, like a rainbow piercing the sun, slammed hard into the green shield.
The green shield kept Wu Sui unharmed from the surprise attack of the Cold Moon Blade, but the immense force of the blade still sent him flying several meters away.
Caught off guard by the sudden assault, Wu Sui looked up, his gaze dark and menacing, towards Song Wen standing at the hall's entrance.
"Ji Yin, it's you!"
Before Wu Sui could finish speaking, another cold beam struck, sending him flying once more before he could regain his balance.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The continuous impacts made Wu Sui feel like a turtle retreating into its shell, being tossed around by the immense force of the Cold Moon Blade, yet he remained unharmed. Despite this, the repeated collisions were extremely uncomfortable, making him feel like his organs were being twisted.
"Stop! Ji Yin, stop attacking."
Wu Sui, struggling to endure the discomfort, shouted.
"If you promise not to attack me again, I can swear an oath by Heaven that I will not seek revenge for today's events, nor will I tell anyone about this."
"Ji Yin, what do you say?"
After activating the Cold Moon Blade several times, Song Wen had consumed quite a bit of spiritual energy. He had not anticipated that the green shield would be so formidable. He had expected to break through it easily with his half-damaged spirit weapon but found himself mistaken. It was indeed the power of a Golden Core cultivator, left as a safeguard by Wu Sui's grandfather.
Even though this power was without a source, it was still beyond the reach of a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like Song Wen to easily overcome.
Song Wen ceased his attacks, took two energy recovery pills, and began refining them right in front of Wu Sui. While he couldn't currently break through the green shield, he could still trap Wu Sui in the cave.
He was in no rush and planned to wear him down gradually.
As he refined the pills, Song Wen said, "Wu Sui's suggestion is reasonable. However, I must take those two Heavenly Spirit Fruits from you."
Seeing that Song Wen was swayed by his proposal and had indeed stopped attacking, Wu Sui's expression brightened.
"So, you want the Heavenly Spirit Fruits. If you had said so earlier, I would have given them to you willingly. There's no need for us to fight and harm our relations."
"To show my sincerity, I'll hand over the Heavenly Spirit Fruits to you first." Wu Sui said with a generous demeanor.
Then he pointed to a pile of clothes not far from Ying Ni. "However, the Heavenly Spirit Fruits are in the storage ring. May I go over and retrieve them?"
Wu Sui had been knocked away by the Cold Moon Blade several times and was now several dozen meters from the spot where Ying Ni had fallen.
Song Wen kept his gaze steady on Wu Sui, his eyes deep and unreadable, without saying a word.
Suddenly, Ying Ni, who lay on the ground, her aura fading, spoke up.
"Ji Yin, don't trust Wu Sui's deceitful words. If he opens the storage ring, he's likely just trying to retrieve more items to attack you. Cough… cough…"
Ying Ni spoke quickly and loudly, which exacerbated her injuries, and she couldn't help but cough up blood.
Wu Sui glared fiercely at the half-dead Ying Ni, wishing he could kill her with his gaze alone.
She had always liked to meddle even before Ji Yin arrived. And now, even with her life hanging by a thread, she continued to interfere.
"I don't quite believe Sister Ying Ni's words. Given Wu Sui's esteemed status as the Golden Core Ancestor's direct descendant, he wouldn't be someone who breaks his word," Song Wen suddenly spoke in defense of Wu Sui.
"Since Wu Sui is willing to show his sincerity by first handing over the Heavenly Spirit Fruits, I should also make a gesture."
With that, Song Wen opened his storage ring, placed the Cold Moon Blade inside, and threw the ring ten meters ahead on the ground.
It's well-known that Qi Refining cultivators need to physically touch a storage ring to open it. Only Foundation Establishment cultivators with spiritual consciousness can open storage rings from a distance.
