Inside a grand and luxurious mansion, a woman descended from the sky, landing gracefully in the center of the courtyard. Her voluptuous figure highlighted her elegance, and her enchanting face paired with mesmerizing eyes was irresistible.
The mature woman emitted a unique fragrance, creating an indescribable feeling.
"Why is this young Daoist so heavy?" The mature and seductive woman glanced at Lu Xun, who was now bruised and unconscious in her arms, and murmured to herself, "He's quite sturdy."
As she spoke, she carried him by the collar and dragged him into the hall. She casually threw him to the side and sat on a chair, sipping her tea.
At that moment, footsteps came from the inner room, and a fair and beautiful woman appeared in the hall.
Different from the mature and seductive woman, this woman seemed somewhat cold. Despite her peerless beauty, she didn't arouse any interest in men; instead, she instilled a sense of fear and dread.
Her cold demeanor seemed to have severed all worldly emotions, yet her figure was no less enchanting than the seductive woman. Although her cyan robe was modestly covering her, it couldn't hide her exquisite curves.
"Master, you're back." The cold woman respectfully greeted, secretly glancing at Lu Xun lying on the ground, her face showing a hint of confusion.
"Where's Xuan Shi?" The seductive woman asked lightly.
"She… I don't know where she went, and she hasn't returned." The cold woman answered softly.
"Hmph! She's only been in a physical form for a hundred years, yet she's already so mischievous. When she comes back, I'll give her a good beating." The seductive woman's black eyes darkened, and her imposing pressure enveloped the area, frightening the cold woman who quickly knelt down, not daring to look up at her.
"Xuan Yin."
"If I'm not mistaken, you'll be going into heat next year, won't you?" The seductive woman asked.
"Yes, Master." The cold woman named Xuan Yin replied softly while kneeling.
"We belong to the same root. I know it's not easy to endure that feeling, suppressing your desires forcefully, as a slight mistake could ruin your cultivation. Back then, I was fortunate enough to encounter a Heavenly Calamity Fruit in the mountains by chance. That's how I became the beautiful Immortal Miao Feng today and avoided the calamities for a thousand years."
The mature and alluring Immortal Miao Feng sighed and continued, "I wanted to use the Heavenly Calamity Fruit to help you through the thousand-year calamity as well, but it's an exceedingly rare item in the world. I've only come across one in my thousand-year existence, and I'm afraid it'll be difficult to find another one in the future."
"Master…"
"Xuan Yin has endured through the first three times, and she'll get through the next one as well." Xuan Yin spoke.
"Absurd!"
"Do you think this is child's play?"
"So many of our kind have been destroyed by this calamity." Immortal Miao Feng's eyes glared angrily, "If I hadn't been here for the first three times, you would have lost your life long ago. The future will only be filled with more unbearable suffering, and even I am powerless to change it."
Kneeling on the ground, Xuan Yin remained silent, her cold expression revealing a hint of stubbornness and helplessness.
"However…"
"Heaven truly favors you." A slight smile appeared on Immortal Miao Feng's enchanting face as she casually said,
"On my way back, I encountered a young Daoist who possesses the Pure Yang Body. The Pure Yang Body is much rarer than the Heavenly Calamity Fruit and is the rarest innate talent in the world."
Xuan Yin glanced at Lu Xun lying nearby with a swollen face. He didn't seem so special as her Master described.
"Xuan Yin!"
"When the time comes next year, you will dual cultivate with him." Immortal Miao Feng raised her eyebrows slightly, speaking casually.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin, who had been bowing all this time, suddenly lifted her head, her face filled with disbelief as she looked at her Master.
Her eyes were full of astonishment, and she opened her mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say.
"Are you surprised by your Master's decision?" Immortal Miao Feng looked at her and asked calmly.
Xuan Yin didn't answer, using silence as her response to her Master.
"Both you and I are snakes from the deep mountains, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, sun, and moon, possessing our own spiritual roots. But we still cannot change the nature of our Yin-Yang imbalance.
Fortunately, I have the Heavenly Calamity Fruit to suppress the periodic Yin surges within my body." Immortal Miao Feng looked at the unconscious Lu Xun and continued,
"Apart from the Heavenly Calamity Fruit, cultivating with someone who has the Pure Yang Body can also help you maintain your sanity despite the Yin surges in your body."
"However…"
"Even though someone with the Pure Yang Body can help, their lifespan won't be too long. At most, they can help you endure three Yin surges, which is three hundred years. After that, you'll still need to endure four more." Immortal Miao Feng sighed and said softly,
"By that time, your Master will find another solution to make you suffer less." After saying that, she looked at Xuan Yin with a hint of seriousness and said, "In any case, let's get through the present difficulties first."
"Master…"
"I… I…" Kneeling on the ground, Xuan Yin clenched her lips and murmured softly, "I can endure it myself; I don't need to dual cultivate with this person."
"Ridiculous!"
Suddenly, Immortal Miao Feng sitting on the wooden chair erupted in anger, glaring at the stubborn Xuan Yin on the ground and said fiercely, "Say that again if you dare!"
Facing the furious Master, Xuan Yin felt a little helpless. She knew her Master cared for her deeply, but this overbearing and unreasonable demand made her feel conflicted from the bottom of her heart.
Looking at Xuan Yin, who remained silent, her face still showing a hint of stubbornness, Immortal Miao Feng sighed helplessly.
"Xuan Yin, don't be stubborn. Your Master can accommodate you in many things, but only in this matter, you must obey your Master."
"Master…"
"This dual cultivation… requires an emotional foundation. I… I…" Xuan Yin didn't know how to handle the situation and could only bring up such an excuse, attempting to refute Immortal Miao Feng's absurd idea.
"No problem."
"You and he can get married first, and then with time, feelings will naturally develop. I've seen that young Daoist, and he's quite handsome." Immortal Miao Feng glanced at the lying Lu Xun on the ground and hurriedly explained,
"His current appearance is due to being beaten up by me. When he recovers from his injuries, you'll see that your Master is not lying."
"I…" Just as Xuan Yin was taken by surprise, there were signs that the unconscious Lu Xun was waking up.
"Ouch."
"Where is this?"
"It hurts, it hurts."
Lu Xun, with his swollen face and bruises, slowly sat up from the ground. Despite just waking up, he could vividly remember one thing: that night he was beaten by a demoness and couldn't figure out how to fight back.
Gradually, his consciousness became clearer. Despite the pain all over his body, he could now think at a basic level.
Lu Xun subconsciously raised his head and was terrified.
In trouble again!
Another demoness! My fragile body can't handle this.
