Inside the hotel room, Tang Yue gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, this old lady will follow you. Losing both love and money is better than being ruined by a scumbag."
Lu Jun felt his scalp tingle as the young mature woman in front of him stared at him with a pair of resentful eyes. Could it be she thought he had come here to take advantage of her deliberately?
Though, that wouldn't be bad… No, no, no! Lu Jun is a gentleman! A Psychic Mage uses their brain to control their body, not the lower half!
He decided to change the subject to resolve the awkwardness, saying, "Let's not talk about it. I'll deal with that wanted criminal first."
As Tang Yue covered her flushed face with her hands, she regretted what she had just said. What nonsense did she utter? Hearing Lu Jun's suggestion, she quickly nodded.
The two left the inn and soon spotted their target—a young, handsome man dressed as a mountaineer. He looked ordinary, with nothing particularly suspicious about him.
However, Lu Jun keenly detected the aura of curses emanating from him.
"Wait, someone's coming."
Trailing behind him, Tang Yue suddenly noticed something and immediately reached out with her slender, fair hand to grab the boy's hand. She activated Shadow Escape, hiding them in a nearby forest. The two squeezed behind a tree trunk.
Lu Jun first felt that his palm was wrapped in something warm and smooth like a piece of jade, soft to the touch. Then, a warm, curvaceous body pressed against him, like a heated stove.
The tree trunk wasn't enough to conceal Tang Yue's curvy figure, so the two were tightly pressed together.
Face to face, Lu Jun's shoulder felt the weight of two heavy, soft objects. A faint fragrance reached his nose as he stared at her fair, slender neck and pink, delicate earlobes.
Lifting his eyes slightly, he saw an exceptionally exquisite oval face. Her bright, captivating eyes sparkled with electricity, her high, elegant nose exuded charm, and her lips were a vivid red. Her skin was flawless, even at this close distance.
But Tang Yue's eyes were filled with panic. Their gazes met briefly before they looked away. She exhaled softly, her warm breath tickling his face, and whispered, "Don't… don't look at me."
She was thoroughly embarrassed, feeling like she had pinned an innocent young boy against a tree, preparing to pounce on him.
Lu Jun was overwhelmed. The soft sensation spread across most of his body, like sinking into a pile of cotton.
This was normal; it was a natural male reaction.
To avoid embarrassing himself further, he decided to use a beginner Psychic spell, Pacify. A cooling sensation swept through his body, calming him instantly. His mind became clear and tranquil.
Tang Yue, on the other hand, had prepared herself mentally for what might happen. Yet, unexpectedly, Lu Jun showed no reaction—not even the slightest movement.
Her expression changed as she gave him a strange look. Somehow, despite the poison coursing through her, she felt a sense of safety around him.
"What kind of look is that? Are you trying to provoke me?"
Lu Jun's sharp intuition caught her meaning instantly. No man could tolerate such a gaze, so he glared back at her angrily.
"Pfft." Tang Yue chuckled, finding his reaction amusing.
But Lu Jun, feeling mocked, became flustered and angry. He reached out, wrapping his hands around her slim, flexible waist, feeling its smooth, elastic curves. Then, he rested his chin on her shoulder.
Tang Yue froze as if struck by lightning. Her body stiffened, and their posture became peculiar. She seemed to be embracing Lu Jun, who buried his face and inhaled deeply.
She couldn't stay calm anymore. A surge of emotion rose within her.
But before she could curse him, he had already stepped back, withdrawing his hands decisively and without hesitation, as if he were heartless.
This infuriating brat! Tang Yue felt utterly defeated. Did she really have no charm at all?
Then, Lu Jun looked away and said, "They've started."
Hearing this, Tang Yue took a deep breath, her chest heaving. The imminent threat made her temporarily suppress her anger.
On the surface, Lu Jun appeared expressionless, but inside, his emotions churned. He had to admit there was a fleeting moment of temptation. Puberty had its undeniable influences. As for the scent… well, it was a milky fragrance.
Usually, when dealing with Lu Mei, he occasionally had improper thoughts. But under her piercing gaze, those thoughts vanished instantly. Her elder-sister presence was overwhelming, with years of authority built up. He wasn't sure what she thought of him, and their ambiguous relationship remained unresolved.
In contrast, interacting with other women felt much easier.
Daily interactions were fine, but physical contact like this was something a pure-hearted virgin like him could hardly endure.
Analyzing his emotions, Lu Jun calmed down. He sensed that Tang Yue beside him was also regaining her composure.
The two turned their attention to the clearing, focusing on the matter at hand.
Earlier, when they had hidden in the forest, two groups of demon hunters had passed by. In the dried-up reservoir ahead, they discovered a crack where a Spirit Seed lay.
A fierce battle broke out, ending with the Dongfong family's team of four emerging victorious.
Among them was Dongfong Jun, a man in traditional clothing, along with a cowboy, a scarred man, and a playboy. They seemed to be discussing how to divide the Spirit Seed.
"Ha ha ha." Suddenly, a laugh echoed. Zhao He, the handsome man with an evil aura, stepped out of the forest. His oppressive presence surged as he sneered, "Apologies, but that thing belongs to me. As for your lives… if I'm in a good mood, I'll let you die quickly."
"Who the hell are you?"
Dongfong Jun shouted, showing no fear. The four of them were all mid-tier mages, and with a four-against-one advantage, they held the upper hand. Besides, as a member of the Dongfong family—one of the four major clans in the magic capital—he had never been afraid of anyone.
"Ha, the Dongfong family? It's not like I haven't killed members of your clan before. Oh, by the way, Dongfong Qingqing tasted pretty good. Not just her body, but her meat too."
Zhao He sneered like a devil.
Hearing this, Lu Jun frowned. He knew that magic types like Curse and Shadow often led practitioners down a dark path if they couldn't maintain mental clarity.
Before Dongfong Jun could make a move, Zhao He burst into laughter and said, "Too late. I arrived before you all and already set up a trap. This [Evil Spider Trap] is my gift to you!"
Lu Jun suddenly noticed a mass of black substance descending from the treetops—a sticky, web-like thing. It seemed like the claw of some living creature, coated in viscous black liquid!
The claw, the web, and the dark shadow looming above revealed a terrifying and sinister spider phantom. Its many glowing eyes radiated greed, sending chills down one's spine.
The mid-tier Curse spell [Evil Spider Trap].
The four were thrown into chaos. Their bodies stiffened, unable to see the black web binding them. They felt trapped by an invisible force. Their mental worlds were sealed, rendering them incapable of using their Nebula.
Such a curse could only be seen through Psychic or Curse Mage soul visions, or by someone with spiritual attainment above the first level.
Tang Yue turned pale and said, "This is bad. Those people are doomed unless a Psychic Mage intervenes."
The [Evil Spider Trap] was a spell with extreme advantages and disadvantages. Its strength lay in its ability to incapacitate even opponents of the same tier once ensnared, leading to a silent, inevitable death.
Like now, Zhao He had used just one spell to subdue four capable mid-tier mages.
However, its drawback was the long casting time. It required pre-arrangement or a combat situation to weave the trap effectively. Overall, it was a slow-paced magic type
