Deep inside a thick forest, Qiu Yi Meng and her group fled with all their might. Behind her, Luo Xiao Man and Bai Yun Feng both had dishevelled looks, and both of them had multiple wounds. In addition, the original dozen True Element Boundary cultivators had now been reduced by two or three.
As she ran, Luo Xiao Man’s proud chest bounced about wildly, like two white rabbits were trying to escape from her dress.
If it was a normal time, Bai Yun Feng and the other hot blooded men would certainly not turn a blind eye to such a wondrous scene, but now these men were in no mood to do so; not knowing if they could survive the next day, how could they have the spare capacity to care indulge in such distractions?
Behind them a group of people were pursuing them, which caused all of them to panic and flee. In this unfamiliar land, they soon lost their way, only able to unconsciously follow Qiu Yi Meng.
Running with such speed, their True Qi was quickly being depleted. Spotting a small hill not far off, the exhausted Qiu Yi Meng quickly ordered, “We’ll take a break once we reach that hill up ahead, our pursuers shouldn’t be able to catch up to us so fast, once we’ve recovered for a while we’ll continue on.”
Hearing her, the group she was leading were slightly relieved. They had continuously been on the run for many days, and none of them could afford such massive consumption.
A short while later, when the group arrived at the secluded hill, each of them found a place to sit down and quickly took out their own Qi recovery pills.
Next to a clear brook which flowed down from the mountain top, Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man quickly moistened their dry throats and washed their faces, refreshing themselves greatly.
That day when they had encountered that flirtatious red-clothed woman was only the beginning of this group’s bad luck.
The only three Immortal Ascension Boundary masters who had been sent with them to this place had been instantly killed by that woman. After that, the remaining dozen or so True Element Boundary cultivators under Qiu Yi Meng’s leadership, began exploring their surroundings, but before they could get a grasp on their situation, they were attacked by a group of Devil Path cultivators. Fighting back, they eventually managed to break through this siege but in doing so they had also alerted more nearby enemies.
The strength of this group was by no means weak. It was just that there were too many enemies for them to face, these days the number of pursuers had steadily increased, causing Qiu Yi Meng to feel a sense of helplessness. Her only choice was to bring everyone deeper into the jungle and try to use the terrain in order to find an opportunity to escape.
The two women sat down, thoroughly exhausted.
“Elder Sister Qiu, where is this place?” Luo Xiao Man asked, her big round eyes full of fear.
Hearing Luo Xiao Man’s sudden question, Qiu Yi Meng hesitated for a moment before giving a hesitant reply, “If I’m not wrong, this is the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land!”
“What! The Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land?” Luo Xiao Man exclaimed, her already frightened eyes filled with horror.
The others around them also looked up in shock. Bai Yun Feng wrinkled his brow and somewhat unsteadily asked, “Young Lady Qiu, why do you think this place is the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land?”
Qiu Yi Meng glanced at him and leisurely retorted, “Besides the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land, where else would there be so many cultivators who have fallen to the Devil’s path? Didn’t you notice their fighting style and demeanor?”
“That doesn’t mean this place is definitely the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land…” Bai Yun Feng still couldn’t bring himself to accept it, “Maybe… this is the site of some evil Sect.”
However, Qiu Yi Meng only chuckled lightly and replied in a confident tone, “I am certain that this is the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land!”
“Then… what should we do?” Luo Xiao Man asked forlornly. Unlike Qiu Yi Meng, who managed to maintain a look of composure as the group’s leader, she couldn’t help her beautiful face from becoming somewhat pale.
“I don’t know!” Qiu Yi Meng shook her head slowly. This time she had only expected to lead a punitive force to High Heaven Pavilion and not suddenly be thrown ten thousand kilometers away into the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land.
The difference between what she had come to do and what had happened was simply too great.
Within the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land, there were countless masters. Devil Path cultivators were everywhere, and this group of hers’ had no masters guarding them. It was fundamentally impossible for them to break through and escape this place safely.
To make matters worse, right now, the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land and the outside world were essentially at war. Once their group fell into the hands of the enemy, the consequences would be disastrous.
This was particularly so for both Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man, each of whom were great beauties. If they were to be captured alive by these sinister cultivators, what was waiting for them would be a fate worse than death.
“Focus on restoring yourselves for now, thankfully the group chasing us does not have many masters or else we would have already been caught!” Qiu Yi Meng deeply sighed.
“En!” Luo Xiao Man nodded and obediently closed her eyes.
The group had spent less than half an hour recovering when Qiu Yi Meng suddenly opened her eyes and quickly said, “Time’s up, someone is coming!”
Hearing this, everyone quickly awakened from their meditation and silently followed her away.
During this past month, Qiu Yi Meng had many times in advance detected the enemy’s approach which had allowed the group to avoid falling into many dangerous situations. Although they did not understand how she was able to do so with just her True Element Boundary Ninth Stage cultivation, but those gathered around her had long ago shown great admiration for her and had no issues following her orders.
…
Yang Kai and Shan Qing Luo walked calmly through the jungle.
After interacting with her for the past month, Yang Kai found that this bewitching woman was actually quite likeable. She appeared fair and delicate as well as incredibly charming. She appeared to be around twenty-seven years old, but with her divine beauty she seems no different from a girl in her late teens. The only difference being a unique temperament that could only be achieved by a mature woman.
This temperament made her particularly appealing to men; coupled with her seductive charms, there was no doubt that Shan Qing Luo was simply the nemesis of all men in this world, able to ensnare both young and old.
Yang Kai performance during this time was also quite composed, no longer shouting Elder Sister this or Elder Sister that as he did before, which caused Shan Qing Luo to develop some admiration for him.
A seventeen-year-old boy with such a steady mentality was quite rare.
Although the two of them had gotten to know each other fairly quickly, the two of them actually shared very few conversations. Shan Qing Luo didn’t speak much nor did Yang Kai bring up superfluous topics. Mostly he simply followed behind her. The rest of his time was spent in meditative cultivation, not wasting a single moment.
Traveling together with such a beauty was enough to make him feel satisfied; at least he was not lonely along the way.
According to Shan Qing Luo, she had come out this time looking for something. This thing held great significance to her. Her mother had once sought it out, and before her, her grandmother had too. Now it was her turn.
But these plans had been greatly complicated by recent developments. Before she had set out, her strength was transcendent and with it she naturally wouldn’t experience any hardship, but now that she was experiencing the backlash from her Secret Art failing to break through. Her strength had dropped significantly, until now only being able to restore herself to the level of a True Element Boundary Third Stage cultivator, so the place she was seeking out was now too dangerous to reach.
Without her pervious overwhelming strength, going there would be akin to seeking death.
However, the two of them had wandered around the jungle for more than ten days now without arriving anywhere in particular.
As they walked, Yang Kai frowned as he looked suspiciously at her before pausing to ask, “Beauty, I have a question for you.”
“Hmm?” Shan Qing Luo also stopped, glancing back at Yang Kai.
“You… are you lost?” Yang Kai hesitantly asked.
Trembling slightly, Shan Qing Luo’s face showed an unnatural look as she averted her eyes.
“Ah…” Yang Kai was stunned. “You’re not really lost, are you?”
Shan Qing Luo blushed embarrassedly before coldly snorting, “So what if I’m lost? What’s so strange about that?”
Yang Kai wryly smiled, “If you were lost you should have just said so. I thought you had some clear goal, so I’ve just been quietly following you.”
These past few days she had shown neither panic nor urgency, and always maintained a composed aloof manner, so he had never questioned her, but upon seeing some scenery that looked familiar, Yang Kai couldn’t help asking.
But whatever the circumstances, she was also a supreme master, so how could she have gotten lost? Yang Kai felt that the whole situation was somewhat odd.
“You know nothing.” Shan Qing Luo grumbled loudly and wrinkled her nose slightly, “The inside of this forest has a kind of natural spirit array which causes disorientation that encompasses a radius of several hundred kilometers, if I still had my full strength it would be simple to find the way out but now we can only rely on luck!”
Saying this, she glared towards Yang Kai bitterly and complained, “In the end, all of this is your fault!”
“My fault my ass!” Yang Kai angrily retorted.
“Who was the one who stole my energy during my crucial breakthrough? Who caused me to suffer such harsh backlash from my Secret Art, who caused my strength to plummet so far?” Shan Qing Luo rapidly pressed Yang Kai with accusation.
When she brought Yang Kai to this forest, she hadn’t expected to suffer this backlash from her Secret Art, sending the situation completely out of her control.
“Good, good, good! It’s all my fault okay?” Yang Kai still had some guilt over this issue and was also too lazy to argue with her, knowing he’d never win anyways so instead he simply released his Divine Sense but immediately found that the range he could explore had been reduced to less than a kilometer around him.
Shan Qing Luo looked at him with an interested grin, letting out a light sigh, “I’ve thought so before, but you’re a strange one aren’t you? A small True Element Boundary Fourth Stage cultivator actually being able to utilise his Divine Sense, but without reaching the Immortal Ascension Boundary, it is simply impossible to find your way out of here, save your strength.”
“Beauty, we have a problem!” Yang Kai turned his gaze towards her, his expression slightly changing.
“Hmm?”
But he had hardly finished speaking when not far in front of them a wave of whooshing sounds arose as six or seven figures suddenly fell from the air, landing close by.
Shan Qing Luo’s expression also sank, and her eyes narrowed as she examined these newcomers.
Seeing the appearance of these people, her temperament suddenly changed, immediately becoming exalted and domineering.
Yang Kai witnessed this astonishing change and couldn’t help admiring. She was indeed worthy of being one of the six Great Evil Kings. This perennial superior attitude and aura was not something most people could imitate, at the same time though he secretly raised his own alert.
“Huh…” These six or seven individuals had come here after discovering traces of Yang Kai and Shan Qing Luo. They were actually members of the group that were pursuing Qiu Yi Meng and her compatriots, but upon seeing Shan Qing Luo’s face and red clothes, all of their faces instantly changed, and they hurriedly took a few steps back.
Shan Qing Luo just pleasantly smiled and casually glanced towards them. Her aura of superiority became even more overwhelming.
Receiving her gaze, those few people’s faces became more depressed. All of them raised their guards as they helplessly waited.
“I wondered who it was that dared block my path, it turns out to be a few of Beast King’s insolent henchmen!” Shan Qing Luo gently grunted while leisurely and calmly speaking. Her demeanor revealed utter disdain with a hint of coldness.
The six or seven newcomers all shivered. Their faces instantly drained of all colour. One of the masters at the Immortal Ascension Boundary Third Stage quickly stepped forward, respectfully cupped his fists, and trembled as he spoke, “Servant Guo Yuan Ming greets Mistress Demon Queen. We did not know that mistress Demon Queen was here, if we have offended, please forgive us!”
As he spoke, his eyes drooped, staring straight at his toes, not daring to meet Shan Qing Luo’s eyes.
“Greetings Mistress Demon Queen!” The other several people also hurriedly bowed, a clear sense of fear apparent in their demeanor.
Everyone raised their cupped fists as they shivered where they stood, apparently extremely terrified.
*Hmph!* Shan Qing Luo snorted, further terrifying these few, “You all have some guts… you dare to stalk after me?”
Speaking so, her expression slowly changed, and her infinitely charming face suddenly flashed a murderous intent.
Hearing Shan Qing Luo ask this, all of them complained incessantly in their hearts as sweat dripped down their foreheads. Why was this devilish woman here? Why were the Heavens so heartless!?
“Of course not!” Guo Yuan Ming involuntarily gulped, “Respected Demon Queen, we servants were simply tracking a group of True Element Boundary cultivators who had broken into the Holy Land, we truly did not mean to offend Lady Demon Queen, we swear to the Heavens!”
“Oh, really now…” Shan Qing Luo replied lightly. Her enchanting voice slightly dropped in tone, but these people hearing this pleasant melody not only did not feel pleasant, but instead felt even tenser. Their backs were covered in cold sweat, and none of them dared to make a sound.
Shan Qing Luo gently lifted her delicate hands and gently brushed one of her exquisite nails. Appearing extremely indifferently as she casually said, “Since you know your sins, why have you not offered your life in apology yet? Do you want to force this Queen to handle you personally?”
Guo Yuan Ming’s trembling increased greatly. His legs buckled under him as he collapsed to his knees, smashing his head on the ground with his blood frozen solid.
The rest of his group behind him also trembled in fear. Big drops of sweat dripped from their faces, and their heads bent so far forward that their chins touched their chests.
Yang Kai’s gaze flickered as he silently stood behind Shan Qing Luo.
This was the first time he had seen this seductive woman’s true methods. She was truly majestic and domineering!
Was this the true face of the Beguiling Demon Queen?
Although he was unclear about exactly what was happening, Yang Kai figured that Shan Qing Luo and the master of these few henchmen had some kind of grudge between them, so she was intentionally making things difficult for them.
Moreover, Shan Qing Luo’s current strength had been greatly diminished so she was probably trying to use this approach to pre-emptively frighten them.
“Hehe…” Shan Qing Luo suddenly smiled playfully and glanced towards the other side, “Get up, taking this Queen’s joke so seriously, you’re all too boring…”
Guo Yuan Ming however did not dare move. There was no way he would believe this devilish woman’s words. If he stood up, Shan Qing Luo might just directly slaughter him…
Instead he just repeatedly kowtowed, “Many thanks Lady Demon Queen for your mercy. Many thanks!”
Coldly glancing over at him, Shan Qing Luo’s voice suddenly became cold, “Go back to your master and tell him this. Our accounts from one month ago, I will soon settle. Get lost!”
Receiving this fantasy like amnesty, Guo Yuan Ming quickly scrambled to his feet, bowed his head deeply, and shouted, “Please rest assured Lady Demon Queen, this servant will definitely bring your words to my master!”
“Within ten breaths, if anyone remains within my sight, they will stay here forever!”
*Shua Shua Shua…*
These six or seven people kicked the ground, Used all their strength to flee, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
*Hmph!* Shan Qing Luo coldly snorted, turned around, and said, “Let’s go!”
Yang Kai silently followed. In his heart, he greatly admired this seductive woman’s methods and majesty.
Shan Qing Luo walked faster and faster, until a moment later she was actually running as fast as the wind.
“Why are you escaping so quickly? Didn’t you successfully deceive them already?” Yang Kai asked confusedly as he chased after her.
“It’s only a temporary measure, Guo Yuan Ming isn’t stupid. After a while when he reflects on it he will no doubt notice some flaws. My relationship with the Thunderbolt Beast King is not very good, I was also recently ambushed and wounded by him and his minions; those people were Beast King’s henchmen, if they catch us everything will be over!” Shan Qing Luo hurriedly explained as she continued dashing forward a hundred meters at a time.
“Heh…” Yang Kai’s expression became strange, “You are also one of the Devil Kings, someone on the same level as that Thunderbolt Beast King, him daring to bring people to ambush you, if you don’t have some kind of serious conflict of interest, it must be him coveting your beauty. The temptation of a supreme beauty is really powerful!”
“You shut up!” Shan Qing Luo glared at him, and her expression became icy cold.
Yang Kai simply grinned as he shrugged his shoulders and obediently stayed quiet.
After those six or seven individuals had escaped more than a dozen kilometers, they suddenly stopped.
“What’s wrong Brother Guo?” Another expert at the Immortal Ascension Boundary Second Stage looked at him and asked.
Guo Yuan Ming frowned and looked back towards where they had met Shan Qing Luo. Seemingly contemplating something as he asked, “Do you think something is off with that whore today?”
“Somewhat off?”
“How could she have let us off so easily?” Guo Yuan Ming grew more and more skeptical. “Master had brought several people to ambush her a month ago, on top of that they also have many past grievances, even just considering the incident last month, us meeting her now should have ended up with us suffering greatly.”
“But if so, why would she just send us on our way?”
As he contemplated, his brow wrinkled further. He hesitated for a long time before continuing, “I heard from those involved in that ambush that although they failed to capture that devilish woman, she still suffered a direct hit from Master.”
“That’s right, and just now she did seem somewhat unsteady. Perhaps she was seriously wounded in that fight and hasn’t fully healed yet?”
“A wound inflicted by Master isn’t something so easy to resolve.” Guo Yuan Ming said as a light flashed across his eyes, “She is definitely still suffering from serious injuries or she would never have let us go so easily! I remember half a year ago, Brother Yuan’s younger brother had only glanced at her once and she immediately killed him… that devilish woman is utterly ruthless, how could she suddenly be so forgiving?”
Hearing this and remembering back, Yuan Shi’s treacherous face flashed a trace anger and hatred, and he viciously cursed, “If it weren’t for her bloodline’s special skills, allowing the previous generation’s Demon Queen to pass on the bulk of her cultivation to her, allowing that little slut already have such high strength, I would have already killed her!”
Guo Yuan Ming swept his eyes over his companions and grinned meaningfully as he said, “If Brother Yuan wants revenge for his younger brother then right now is his chance!”
Everyone hearing these words couldn’t help being startled.
None of them had dared even consider the idea of openly opposing the Beguiling Demon Queen.
“What, are you all afraid?” Guo Yuan Ming sneered. “Her letting us go definitely means she has some scruples. What could that be? Obviously she’s afraid that right now she can’t beat us!”
Yuan Shi nodded in agreement, “What Brother Guo said is reasonable, but… in the end it is just a guess. What if she isn’t seriously injured or if she has already recovered?”
“We have to try to know!” Guo Yuan Ming grinned meaningfully, “That’s why I just said you all have no courage!”
Everyone else remained silent for a time, and each of them glanced around at the others. All of them were hesitant to act. Admittedly, what Guo Yuan Ming said made sense, but everything really was based on a hunch.
Seeing that some of them appeared to be hesitating, Guo Yuan Ming made another push, “My fellow brothers. That is the Beguiling Demon Queen. Don’t you have any desire to taste her? An opportunity to have her under you? Even if we were to die, just to bed this woman, it is worth it.”
Fantasizing about Shan Qing Luo’s delicate body and sweet voice, imagining being able to strip her naked, toy with her as they pleased, and listen to her moan in ecstasy, all of them couldn’t help breathing a bit heavier.
Guo Yuan Ming kept pressing, “Also, if she can pass on her strength to her descendants, what says she can’t pass it on to us! An Immortal Ascension Boundary Ninth Stage master, even if we split the spoils among us wouldn’t everyone at least be able to break through at least one or two minor realms?”
Everyone was finally convinced!
A malicious light flashed across Yuan Shi’s eyes, and he quickly said, “What Brother Guo says is right, being able to taste her beauty and rob her cultivation… it certainly is worth the risk!”
After carefully considering it, the others present also grit their teeth and nodded.
Guo Yuan Ming laughed, “You are all good brothers indeed! Now that we’ve decided, we shouldn’t delay, let’s quickly catch up!”
Yang Kai and Shan Qing Luo flew through the forest, constantly changing direction.
But half a day later, from behind them suddenly came the sound of hurried footsteps.
Shan Qing Luo’s expression sank as she grit her teeth, “They really found out.”
Resigned, she quickly came to a stop and took a deep breath to calm her nerves as both she and Yang Kai prepared themselves.
“It’s them!” Yang Kai stealthily released his Divine Sense. Aware of whom their pursuers were, his face also becoming gloomy.
Evidently Shan Qing Luo concerns were warranted. Although she had indeed scared off these people with her domineering demeanour, she had involuntarily revealed too many flaws which their enemies had discovered after carefully reviewing their encounter.
Though it was just a drop of blood in the vast sea, the fierce sharks had still sniffed it out.
“Lady Demon Queen!” A moment later, Guo Yuan Ming and his companions swiftly appeared from the distance. All of them were clearly a bit anxious, but they did not display the same extreme caution and dread from before. Their gazes darted back and forth, and their eyes flashed with meaningful light and dared to spy upon Shan Qing Luo with an obscene glint from time to time.
“What it is?” Shan Qing Luo asked in a cold tone.
“Haha… Lady Demon Queen’s speed is so great it took us a long time to catch up!” Guo Yuan Ming’s attitude was significantly more presumptuous now, as he obviously salivated at the meal before him but also using his attitude to confirm his speculations. He was eighty percent certain but still wanted to make that one hundred percent.
They had clearly parted for only a brief moment before, yet they had spent so much time chasing her down. If she was not hiding something, why would she need to run so fast?
“Enough nonsense, why are you here?” Shan Qing Luo questioned impatiently, her voice became ever colder.
“Please forgive me, this servant had forgotten that my Lord Beast King had instructed that if we were to meet Lady Demon Queen we were to give her this small gift. My lord wishes to send this to Lady Demon Queen as recompense for last month’s offence in hopes that she will not pursue the matter!” While speaking, Guo Yuan Ming threw something from his hand towards Shan Qing Luo.
This item gave off a special aura. It was clearly a high quality artifact.
At the moment he threw this artifact, Guo Yuan Ming had poured his True Qi into it, so though it seemed to have been casually tossed, in reality it contained a hidden attack.
Shan Qing Luo readily caught this artifact, and though she was prepared, she still felt a shock shoot through her tender body, which caused her to tremble lightly as her arm went numb.
Witnessing this reaction, these few men suddenly grinned widely.
“Guo Yuan Ming, you court death!” Shan Qing Luo furiously screamed.
However, Guo Yuan Ming simply smiled maliciously, “Oh oh, please forgive this servant’s carelessness Lady Demon Queen; it seems this one had used a bit too much force before, but with your great strength, how is it that you could not handle it? Is it that you have perhaps… lost much of your strength right now?”
As he asked these questions, Guo Yuan Ming’s tone became more and more rampant, his eyes slowly revealed an obscene light as they wandered all over Shan Qing Luo’s body.
Shan Qing Luo’s expression slightly changed. Understanding that the other party had seen through her current condition, she no longer bothered to conceal things and instead let out a proud laugh, “Hmph! It is true that right now I have lost a great deal of strength, but if it is to kill you few wastes it is still enough!”
As she spoke, her pair of enchanting eyes suddenly shimmered as they released a dense light, seemingly containing an endless attraction, pulling the souls of all those around into them.
At the same time, from all around a strange fragrance wafted about. As soon as they smelt this aroma, every man present had their pulse race as their blood began to boil.
Even Yang Kai’s eyes became slightly confused for a moment, but he swiftly regained his composure. Quickly returning his True Qi to his dantian, Yang Kai summoned the Asura Sword to his hand as the Evil Qi from his Unyielding Golden Skeleton burst forth.
Wrapped in this thick black gas, he quickly struck towards Guo Yuan Ming.
Yang Kai’s reaction was very fast, almost simultaneously attacking the moment Shan Qing Luo used her Beguiling Technique.
Even Shan Qing Luo was secretly surprised that he could free himself from her technique so quickly; without mentioning him only possessing a True Element Boundary Fourth Stage cultivation, even an Immortal Ascension master could not free themselves from her skill so easily.
[What exactly is this scoundrel’s background?]
The Asura Sword shot out from within the black gas, like a snake striking from its hole, and stabbed towards Guo Yuan Ming’s neck.
Guo Yuan Ming’s confused and empty eyes suddenly released a cold light as a disdainful grin appeared on his face. Yang Kai’s face instantly sank, and he quickly shifted from attacking to defense and poured all his Qi into his guard.
*Ding…* Yang Kai tumbled backwards, and eventually landed beside Shan Qing Luo. The hand holding his Asura Sword trembled slightly, and his blood flow was in chaos. Breathing heavily, he tried to steady himself.
“Ha ha ha!” Guo Yuan Ming laughed scornfully with an obscene look plastered all over his arrogant face. Licking his lips as he unscrupulously stared at Shan Qing Luo, he mockingly said, “Demon Queen’s beguiling fantasy technique deserves its reputation, it is truly extraordinary!”
Shan Qing Luo’s beautiful face was filled with an icy cold. Apparently Guo Yuan Ming had long ago been prepared.
“If Lady Demon Queen was at full strength, naturally I would not be able to resist your technique, but now… heh heh!” Guo Yuan Ming crudely laughed, as he cried out, “Brothers! Lady Demon Queen doesn’t seem to be feeling too well, she should be easy prey! Make sure you don’t use too much strength, we don’t want to ruin her body before we get a taste!”
“Brother Guo, rest assured, we’ll be sure to be gentle!” Yuan Shi stepped forward slowly, and obscenely stared at Shan Qing Luo. All traces of fear were gone from his face.
“Heh heh heh …” A burst of wicked laughter rang out. Everyone here had been somewhat uneasy at first, but now seeing how easily they could withstand Shan Meng Luo’s Beguiling Technique, their courage suddenly surged.
Shan Qing Luo was extremely furious, but she maintained an elegant and aloof look and softly quipped, “Do you trashes really think you can take on this Queen so easily?”
Seeing her calm demeanor, without the slightest trace of panic, Guo Yuan Ming’s heart jumped as he involuntarily hesitated.
But after a moment, he grit his teeth and cursed, “Brothers, now that the arrow has left the bow there is no turning back, since we have already offended this cheap whore if she manages to escape you all know what fate awaits us!”
Given Shan Qing Luo’s personality and methods, if she really escaped from them now, even if they all hid at the ends of the earth they would still not be safe.
Knowing how seriousness things had become, these men gripped their fists and nodded heavily.
“Since it has come to this. We only have one choice left! If we’re able to taste the world’s most seductive woman, what need is there to fear death?” Guo Yuan Ming voice suddenly became cold, “Brother Ban, your strength is the lowest, you deal with that little shit over there. As soon as you’re done come assist us!”
A tall lanky man looked over towards Yang Kai, disdainfully laughing, “No problem!”
Shan Qing Luo on the other hand, while maintaining an indifferent smile, had secretly been gathering her True Qi. Suddenly waving her hands forward as she cried out, “Since you dare offend this Queen, you can all go to hell!”
A crystal like white silk thread suddenly filled the sky, shrouding the opposite party.
These six or seven were all Immortal Ascension Boundary masters, but their cultivation was not too high, most of them only reaching the Second Stage, only Guo Yuan Ming had broken through to the Third Stage.
Facing Shan Qing Luo’s sudden attack, all of them hastily circulated their Secret Arts and summoned their artifacts to defend themselves.
Yang Kai also thrust forward his hand and condensed nearly a thousand Sword Qi blades around him. As these blades stabbed forward, Yang Kai simultaneously summoned the thousand petal blades of the Thousand Blossoming Blood Begonia.
With the appearance of this slaughtering artifact, the surrounding space instantly became a sea of blood red petals!
With his opponents all being Immortal Ascension Boundary cultivators, Yang Kai did not plan to hold back.
Such a dense and rapid attack sent the enemy party’s resistance into confusion.
Shan Qing Luo quickly formed a series of hand seals, which manipulated the crystal silk threads to dart and weave, which instantly wrapped up two of the Immortal Ascension Boundary First Stage cultivators.
These two were the weakest members of the enemy group, and facing this surprise attack, they soon found themselves bound tightly by layers of silk thread.
Yang Kai quickly seized this opportunity to launch his White Tiger and Divine Ox Seals and summoned the two crimson Monster Beast phantoms. With an Earth shaking roar, the two phantoms bared their fangs and charged towards the two trapped individuals and ferociously mauled them.
The thousand red petals also shot forth in concert, each piece as sharp as any high quality artifact blade. A short burst of extremely shrill screams rang out, which caused Guo Yuan Ming and his companions to cringe as the sound reached their ears.
*Pu pu pu…*
Blood splattered everywhere!
A surprised light also flashed across Shan Qing Luo eyes. She had not thought that Yang Kai’s attack would have such power. The series of fierce attacks was not something an ordinary True Element Boundary Fourth Stage cultivator could display.
Gripping her fist, her silk threads viciously contracted and instantly dismembered the two already black and blue Immortal Ascension Boundary First Stage cultivators.
Within the span of a few breaths, two Immortal Ascension Boundary cultivators had been brutally killed.
As this happened, another burst of white threads shot out from around Shan Qing Luo’s tender body and wrapped up the remaining enemies.
Her image flashing, she appeared beside Yang Kai, grabbed his arm with her delicate hand and shouted, “Run!”
Yang Kai quickly waved his hand, recalling the thousands petals into his body and activated his Movement Skill and escaped together with Shan Qing Luo.
This devilish woman could now only use strength equivalent to a True Element Boundary Third Stage cultivator. Working together with him to kill two Immortal Ascension First Stage cultivators was already the limit of what she could handle. Although the conflict only lasted an instant, the amount of True Qi she had consumed was certainly not small. If they stayed behind, they would certainly suffer.
“Cheap slut!” Guo Yuan Ming’s angry voice rang out from behind them. He had not thought that Shan Qing Luo would only be able to launch a single attack. It was only after she had left that he realized that she had never actually planned to fight it out with them.
After a few tens of breaths, Guo Yuan Ming and his companions finally managed to break free from their silk bindings. One after another, they stared somewhat fearfully in the direction Shan Qing Luo had disappeared. In the end, a Devil King was still a Devil King, and even if they were seriously injured, they were not so easy to deal with.
“What should we do now?” Yuan Shi asked gloomily.
Guo Yuan Ming ground his teeth in hatred, “If you don’t want to live the rest of your life fleeing from her, we can only catch up and kill her!”
“Brother Guo is right!” The others quickly nodded in agreement.
No longer hesitating, they hurriedly began the pursuit.
When Shan Qing Luo had first grabbed Yang Kai’s arm, she had wanted to drag him along with her as they escaped, but she quickly realized the speed of this little rascal was actually not much slower than her own. Every time his feet moved, he cast some kind of strange Movement Skill that seemed to instantly propel him forward several tens of meters.
Running at full speed, her proud peaks continuously brushed against and pressed onto Yang Kai’s arm, which made Shan Qing Luo’s cheeks blush bright red, and she soon released her grip.
“Don’t!” Yang Kai hurriedly stopped her, “My Movement Skill is only a short-ranged technique and my Yuan Qi is about to be exhausted, at that time I’ll need your help!” Yang Kai hurried held her hand.
“En!” Shan Qing Luo nodded slightly and continued holding Yang Kai’s arm as they dashed through the jungle.
Half an hour later, Guo Yuan Ming and his band were catching up!
They all knew what the consequences would be if they allowed Shan Qing Luo to escape, so they spared no effort in chasing her down.
Shan Qing Luo ground her teeth in hatred and anger, “If this time I can escape, I will let them suffer a fate worse than death!”
Yang Kai quickly quipped, “You should worry more about what will happen if they catch up to us.”
Shan Qing Luo’s complexion suddenly paled as a ripple of fear gripped her heart and sent a shiver through her tender body.
Suddenly, her beautiful face showed a touch of intoxicated blush and she resolutely declared, “If that is my fate will be… before then, I’ll give myself to you first! In any case, you’re not too terrible, at least a bit better than those damn bastards.”
“Ah…” Yang Kai looked towards her in surprise, half laughing half crying, “My fair lady, although I am happy you’d propose so, I know that if I accept your offer I won’t have a good end. So I’m afraid I’ll have to decline.”
Shan Qing Luo glanced at him bitterly and whispered, “So you already know?”
“Of course I know.”
In this life or death crisis, there was no need to hide anything, so Shan Qing Luo sighed and explained, “I have a special constitution called the Poison Widow Body!”
Yang Kai, somewhat scared, quickly said, “What kind of constitution is that, what are its characteristics?”
“When I become aroused, all my bodily fluids become highly toxic, including my breath!” Shan Qing Luo looked at him meaningfully. “Now you should understand why you fainted the last time I kissed you, right?”
Yang Kai quickly licked his lips, recalling the sweet and savory flavour from that experience.
“The more intense my emotional state, the more potent the poison becomes! Last time was just a little punishment. Who told you to be so presumptuous!”
However, Yang Kai simply grinned stupidly, “I also had no choice, who told you to catch me back then for no reason why? … All your bodily fluids, does that include… you know… down there?”
Shan Qing Luo’s face instantly turned bright red, and she violently cursed, “Shameless!”
Yang Kai hesitantly asked, “So if you’re intimate with someone, they die?”
“Yes!” Shan Qing Luo took a deep breath, already deeply regretting telling her secrets to this little bastard. This rogue dared to say anything that popped into his head. He was truly shameless. It was simply unbearable.
Yang Kai suddenly averted his eyes and asked, “Then… how about I get you in the mood then you spit a few mouthfuls of poison at them?”
“Can you at least try to be serious!” Shan Qing Luo really couldn’t stand it. Just what the hell was going through this little bastards mind right now?
“I was being serious.” Yang Kai said bluntly.
Even as the two quipped back and forth, their feet never stopped moving, racing forward as fast as the wind when all of a sudden, the area in front of them opened up, and they rushed out of the jungle.
The two of them suddenly paused, extremely shocked by the scene in front of them.
Not far away, there was actually another two groups of people.
One of the groups had completely surrounded the other, and the ones in the centre were all wearing faces of unwillingness and despair.
As Yang Kai swept his eyes over them, he couldn’t help being startled.
He found that the surrounded group was actually the group led by Qiu Yi Meng, the giant breasted Luo Xiao Man, and the Bai Family’s Bai Yun Feng were among them. In addition, there were three or four other True Element Boundary cultivators along with several dead bodies on the ground, blood constantly flowing from them.
The group encircling them were all staring maliciously towards Qiu Yi Meng’s group. Most of them directed their gaze towards Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man’s bodies. Their eyes exposed an obscene light.
Qiu Yi Meng wryly smiled while Luo Xiao Man’s beautiful face had gone pale. The two women stood back to back, their breath ragged and their True Qi also completely depleted.
After escaping for so many days, they had finally been overtaken by the Devil Path cultivators of the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land. Experiencing a desperate battle where several of them had been killed, they had now been completely surrounded.
It was just as they came to understand that escape was impossible that Yang Kai and Shan Qing Luo suddenly appeared.
It was not that Yang Kai and Shan Qing Luo had been particularly careless, but the two of them had just been engaged in a less than decent conversation and had not expected there to actually be people ahead of them.
When the two appeared, they instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
The people surrounding Qiu Yi Meng and her group were all Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land’s cultivators, their strength and number far exceeding that of Qiu Yi Meng’s side, so now they were just leisurely looking at the two women, ready to enjoy the desperate struggles these two beautiful women would put up.
The resistance of a beauty was always something to look forward to, especially Luo Xiao Man’s, with her full-bodied chest, trembling tremendously, shaking up and down as she panicked, it was nothing short of intoxicating, causing all of these men’s eyes to glow with desire as they stared towards her.
So even though they occupied the absolute advantage, these people were not actually in a rush to attack Qiu Yi Meng’s group. On the contrary, they were simply shamelessly ridiculing them, while lewdly gazing at the two women.
“Hahaha… there’s another one!” When Yang Kai and Shan Qing Luo appeared, one of the surrounding men with a cultivation at the True Element Boundary Eighth Stage suddenly laughed, staring indiscriminately at Shan Qing Luo.
Shan Qing Luo was known as the world’s most seductive woman, possessing a near infinite charm, this style and aura was no doubt more eye catching than even Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man.
In particular, this devilish woman was now thoroughly dishevelled, covered in a fragrant sweat, her cheeks flushed red, causing her to appear even more enchanting and inviting.
As this burly man started at Shan Qing Luo with a fiery gaze, he shouted, “Big Brother, look here, another great beauty has come. This one is even more enticing than the other two!”
“Good! Since I was born, I have never had such an amazing woman, once Eldest Brother tastes the meat, we can drink some soup, then Eldest Brother can play with her again, then our little brothers can too! Such a woman, even a thousand times toying with her won’t be boring!” Another person excitedly shouted.
“There are also these two little girls here, although they aren’t quite as good as this woman, they’re still big beauties, the Heavens have truly blessed us today!”
“Ha ha ha …”
The group’s foul language made Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man pale, even Shan Qing Luo’s expression sank.
However, amongst this group, there was one Immortal Ascension Boundary master who, after staring at Shan Qing Luo’s face for a moment, suddenly went white as he roared, “Everyone shut up!”
With this shout, all the laughter and jeers abruptly halted.
“What’s wrong Eldest Brother?” Everyone asked confusedly, none of them understanding why their leader’s face had suddenly drained of all colour.
That Immortal Ascension Boundary master, his forehead covered in sweat, suddenly cupped his fists and bowed solemnly to Shan Qing Luo, “Beast King’s servant Gu Tian Luo, greets Lady Demon Queen!”
While the others did not know Shan Qing Luo, this Immortal Ascension master had obviously recognized her. An extremely seductive woman, with a mole under the corner of her eye, wearing a fiery red dress …
If this was not the ruthless and murderous Beguiling Demon Queen, then who was?
If any man dared act the slightest bit presumptuous towards her, she would rip his corpse into ten thousand pieces.
And now, these brainless bastards kept bragging about how they would play with her till she was broken, constantly talking about how they would taste her flesh and drink her soup.
[It’s all over!] With her personality, none of them would be able to leave here alive today.
While trying to show the utmost respect and courtesy, Gu Tian Luo felt his heart freeze over; the high-spirited feeling of victory and the anticipation of the rewards to come all replaced by an overwhelming fear.
[These damn bastards! Courting death without even seeking it, even if you all want to die, don’t pull me down with you!]
He could have been enjoying the taste of these two little beauties, but instead he had fallen into hell, the change in circumstances was simply too great.
It was easy to imagine just how depressed Gu Tian Luo was feeling.
Moreover, this devilish woman also appeared to be in a bad mood. This time there really was no hope of escape.
Seeing Gu Tian Luo act so respectfully, the others were startled, quickly going over his words, he had called this woman ‘Lady Demon Queen’, in addition to that demonic woman who else would dare call themselves Lady Demon Queen?
In an instant, everyone’s jubilant mood had been completely destroyed, replaced with sheer terror and despair. [How could I have possibly just molested this woman!?]
As the situation continued rapidly changing, Qiu Yi Meng looked over and upon catching a glimpse of who it was who had just arrived, hurriedly shouted, “Yang Kai!”
However, Yang Kai simply grinned towards her and quietly squeezed Shan Qing Luo’s hand, urging her to quickly leave here. There was no doubt the several Immortal Ascension cultivators they were escaping were still chasing.
Shan Qing Luo secretly nodded, purposefully ignoring the crowd before her, not say a word and simply walking away with Yang Kai.
Seeing his attitude and understanding that he was planning on simply ignoring them, Qiu Yi Meng awkwardly wore an ugly smile and pleaded, “Yang Kai, you’re not planning to leave us to die right? Whatever the circumstances, we all came here together.”
Qiu Yi Meng was well aware of just how powerful Shan Qing Luo was; earlier, she had killed three Immortal Ascension Boundary masters as easily as three chickens! Although she felt some resentment towards her, but in the end she was also a fellow woman, falling into her hands was obviously a better choice than taking her chances with these scums.
That day, she had suddenly abducted Yang Kai, and now they had appeared here again, together, and obviously sharing an unspoken intimacy, so Qiu Yi Meng was certain they had developed some kind of relationship and decided to pin her hopes on convincing Yang Kai to help them.
As long as Shan Qing Luo decided to act, they could certainly escape this crisis.
“Yang Kai, please save us!” Luo Xiao Man also pleaded, her eyes filled with a mix of hope and entreatment.
“Ha ha … do we know each other?” Yang Kai smiled and stared at them indifferently.
Yang Kai was also a clay buddha crossing a river, he couldn’t even guarantee his own life right now so how could he concern himself with the wellbeing of others?
Not to mention that because Qiu Yi Meng had brought these people to High Heaven Pavilion, he had been separated from Su Yan. Instead of spending his days happily with her, he was spending every moment fearing for his life!
It could even be said that these two women and their companions were the root of all his current problems, Yang Kai not intentionally acting against them could already be considered benevolent.
“It’s me, Yang Kai, I’m Luo Xiao Man, and we’ve definitely exchanged greetings before!” Luo Xiao Man in her panicked state really thought Yang Kai didn’t remember them, quickly explaining herself in a desolate and desperate voice, “I beg of you, please help us!”
“What benefits do I gain by saving you?” Yang Kai chuckled, still moving away gradually together with Shan Qing Luoy.
“Whatever benefits you want, I and Elder Sister Qiu can give you!”
“Then if I want you, will you agree?”
Luo Xiao Man was suddenly rendered speechless, Qiu Yi Meng also couldn’t help taking a sharp breath, her face clearly showing a trace of disgust.
“It’s time to go!” Yang Kai whispered to Shan Qing Luo. “Before we leave, scare them a bit so they don’t bully those two!”
“Do you like them?” Shan Qing Luo looked suspiciously at Yang Kai.
“No, it just feels awkward if I abandoned them,” Yang Kai frowned. “In fact, I’m actually quite a tender soul.”
Shan Qing Luo giggled lightly, but before she had time to shout, Guo Yuan Ming’s angry voice roared, “Stop right there you cheap whore!”
Hearing this, the pair’s expressions sank, no longer concerning themselves with the situation before them, instead quickly moving to escape.
On the other hand, Gu Tian Luo looked up as his brow wrinkled, loudly shouting, “Brother Guo, is that you?”
Guo Yuan Ming was obviously surprised for a moment but was soon overjoyed, “Brother Gu, quickly block that slut Shan Qing Luo!”
“Ah …” Gu Tian Luo was instantly terrified, thinking that today his eight generations of ancestors must be cursing him from the grave, not only his useless underlings, even Guo Yuan Ming had gone completely insane.
[Even if you’ve all gone crazy, what do you want me to do?]
“This is a once in a lifetime Heaven sent chance, that devilish woman has been seriously injured and has lost most of her strength!” Guo Yuan Ming quickly shouted.
Gu Tian Luo suddenly stood up straight, now understanding why this vicious slut was in such a rush to leave, even directly ignoring all the slanderous offences his men had hurled at her.
[So she’s seriously injured!]
Immediately, the fear and panic on Gu Tian Luo’s face disappeared as he quickly formed a series of hand seals, releasing a golden light from his palms.
Yang Kai and Shan Qing Luo had only flown a few dozen meters before this golden light overtook them, suddenly transforming into a shimmering light curtain, blocking their path.
Yang Kai and Shan Qing Luo were caught off guard and crashed into this curtain head on, violently being thrown back by it.
As they fell to the ground, Guo Yuan Ming and the others who had been pursuing them immediately surrounded the two.
“Fuck!” Yang Kai cursed loudly, he truly had dog-shit luck today, running into more enemies even as he made his escape.
“Ha ha ha!” Guo Yuan Ming laughed wildly, glaring towards Shan Qing Luo coldly as he viciously cried, “Little slut, you can’t escape, stop wasting your energy!”
Shan Qing Luo coldly snorted as she glared menacingly towards Gu Tian Luo, her voice filled with ice, “Gu Tian Luo, you want to die?”
Gu Tian Luo’s neck involuntarily shrank but he soon let out a dismissive laugh, “Lady Demon Queen must be joking, of course I do not seeking death. Today, several of my underlings acted terribly disrespectfully to you, I just wanted to properly apologize to Lady Demon Queen, so I could only ask you to remain!”
“If you don’t want to die, kill all of them for me and I will forget that today’s offences ever happened!” Shan Qing Luo coldly ordered.
However, Guo Yuan Ming simply sneered, “Cheap whore! Still trying to intimidate all of us, do you really think you’re still at your peak? No matter what means you have left you should never expect to leave here today! Since I’ve dared offend you, I will do things absolutely! “
“That’s right!” Yuan Shi stepped forward and glared towards Shan Qing Luo, “If you want to keep your life, stop trying to resist, it would be a shame to have to kill you without gaining any benefits first!”
Seeing the situation develop to this point, Shan Qing Luo’s eyes filled with disdain as she let out an arrogant laugh, “If I go all out, I can at least force all three of you to accompany me on the road to hell, are you willing to come?”
The several gathered Immortal Ascension Boundary cultivators all frowned at these words, their expressions suddenly becoming awkward.
It was because they feared Shan Qing Luo’s desperate final resistance that even though they had surrounded her, none of them dared to act.
A thin dead camel was still taller than a horse; a rotten boat could still have three nails inside of it. In the end, no matter what condition she was in, the Beguiling Demon Queen was no ordinary master!
“Turns out… you were powerless to defend yourself in the first place!” Qiu Yi Meng stared curiously at Yang Kai and Shan Qing Luo, a touch of schadenfreude flashing across her eyes.
But… the strength of this red-clothed woman a few days ago was so overwhelming, how could she have been reduced to such a state today?
Although she derived a moment of pleasure from their suffering, she immediately remembered her own situation and couldn’t help letting out a sigh.
Luo Xiao Man’s eyes once again became hollow and gloomy, like a dark cloud covering the sky, blotting out all traces of light.
She had pinned all her hopes on Yang Kai and Shan Qing Luo, but now even the two of them had been encircled, a result far beyond her expectations, turning all of her prayers into one big joke.
“When the fight begins, you find a chance to escape!” Shan Qing Luo whispered softly to Yang Kai as she stared down her opponents.
However, Yang Kai turned a deaf ear to her words as he frowned as if he was deep in thought.
“Hey…” Shan Qing Luo gently nudged Yang Kai who seemed to be in a trace.
Yang Kai suddenly recovered, with a somewhat confused look upon his face as he quietly whispered back to her, “We may still have a chance.”
“Hm?” Shan Qing Luo glanced over in surprise.
“There’s something underneath this place!” Yang Kai tapped the ground softly.
Just now, he had stealthily released his Divine Sense to inspect the surroundings, wanting to see if there was anything nearby he could use to their advantage, but he had not thought he would suddenly discover signs of life beneath their feet.
On top of that… the amount of creatures was quite large, and many of them even possessed extremely potent vitality.
As he glanced around once again, sure enough this place was somewhat different. In this vast jungle, only a radius of about a thousand meters around them was completely devoid of trees, forming almost a perfect circle!
There was definitely something unusual underground, and although he did not know what it might be, he had no other choice but to take a risk on it.
At the very least, he could drag a few of these bastards down with him.
“Attack!” Guo Yuan Ming cried, seeing Yang Kai and Shan Qing Luo muttering to one another with their eyes shifting back and forth. He knew that they were certainly plotting something, so he no longer hesitated. Roaring angrily, he ferociously pushed his True Qi and immediately launched a powerful strike.
The others, seeing Guo Yuan Ming decisively act, also began their assault.
“Stall them for ten breaths!” Yang Kai yelled, as he hastily prepared to unleash his long-dormant Star Mark!
“What are you doing!” Exclaimed Shan Qing Luo, also not hesitating, as she hurriedly activated the silver bracelet on her wrist, transforming it into a silver light that darted out.
At the same time, she suddenly summoned a pink cloth fan into her hand. This fan was covered in exquisite images of men and women intertwining with one another, engaging in various indecent acts and assuming all kinds of obscene positions. These patterns were extremely vivid and lifelike.
As Shan Qing Luo poured her True Qi into the fan, she gently waved her hand, which seemingly brought these patterns to life, not only did it give off the appearance of moving men and women, but it even sent out waves of erotic and seductive moans.
A circle of light burst forth and wrapped up everyone in the surroundings with Shan Qing Luo at its center. Upon her enchanting face a charming smile blossomed as she fully displayed her enchanting figure. From her proud chest, her well rounded bottom, her delicate waste and her swaying hips, every part of her body seemed to radiate an irresistible attraction, which blanketed everyone around her.
Everyone present, be they, man or woman, whether it was a member of Qiu Yi Meng’s group or the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land cultivators, instantly looked slightly dazed. Those with slightly lower strength were, even more, affected becoming completely immersed in a boundless fantasy. Their eyes completely glossed over as they become unable to extricate themselves.
Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man also began releasing seductive moans. Their legs buckled as they unconsciously sank to their knees, with both of their pretty faces dyed a charming pink…
The men and women on the cloth fan at this moment seemed to have transformed themselves into living creatures and desperately burrowed into everyone’s minds, almost as if they were expressing their joy at being able to meld with all those around them.
Delicate and sheltered girls like Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man, seeing such a vivid scene for the first time, how could they possibly react?
Guo Yuan Ming was instantly frightened, desperately pushing his True Qi in order to resist the silver bracelet’s attack as she yelled, “Everyone be careful! It’s her Qing Luo Fan!”
The various Immortal Ascension Boundary masters also paled upon hearing this, and all of them fell back in a fluster, doing their best to focus their minds to resist this illusory attack.
They all knew about the power of this artifact. This is was an artifact passed down through Shan Qing Luo’s family, and even her own name had been derived from it.
With this Qing Luo Fan in hand, the power of her beguiling technique would be greatly enhanced!
Seeing everyone retreat, Shan Qing Luo smiled even more charmingly as she laughed sweetly, her voice like an enchanting music that swayed a person’s mind.
“Damn slut!” Guo Yuan Ming cursed loudly. His face blushed a bright shade of red, and he ground his teeth as he bitterly resisted this assault, “Let’s see how long you can keep this up! Once you’re True Qi runs out, I’ll strip you naked and ravage you here while everyone watches!”
Shan Qing Luo’s expression suddenly became cold as she waved her hand gently, increasing the speed and ferocity of her silver bracelet’s attack.
All of a sudden, a starry sky emerged, as if day had given way to night, streams of starlight burst out from the back of Yang Kai’s hand!
Violent True Qi fluctuations burst forth, the intensity of each subsequent wave more powerful than the last, even the Immortal Ascension Boundary masters present did not dare underestimate this attack.
Guo Yuan Ming and his compatriots all stared towards Yang Kai in astonishment as they saw him raise his glowing hand, seemingly lifting the starry sky with it.
Light also flashed across Shan Qing Luo’s eyes as she looked at Yang Kai in surprise, she had never imagined he was still hiding such a devastating technique.
If this attack struck any of the Immortal Ascension Boundary masters present, they would definitely die.
As the crowd watched on in horror, Yang Kai unexpectedly smashed his right hand onto the ground.
*Boom…*
Although the earth violently shook, Guo Yuan Ming and the others were all subconsciously relieved, they were all truly worried Yang Kai would choose them as his technique’s target.
*Kacha… ca…*
A distinct cracking sound soon spread out, which caused everyone to look down towards where Yang Kai had struck. From this epicenter, countless fissures began radiating outwards in all directions, spreading at an increasingly fast pace.
Guo Yuan Ming frowned, faintly feeling that something was wrong.
Even if that technique was incredibly powerful, it shouldn’t have produced such an effect.
Hurriedly releasing his Divine Sense to investigate, his expression instantly went stiff as he cried out, “Bad! The ground beneath us is hollow, and…”
Before he could finish, a loud crashing sound rang out, and the ground within a radius of a thousand meters suddenly collapsed and sent everyone tumbling down.
Yang Kai laughed happily, “Go!”
Probing the surroundings with his Divine Sense, he felt that the strong creatures beneath them had been alarmed by this collapse. If they didn’t leave now, it would definitely be too late.
Wrapping his arm around Shan Qing Luo’s waist, the latter simply glancing at him, offering no resistance, Yan Kai quickly shot up into the air.
Of course, Guo Yuan Ming and his companions would not just idly watch them escape. They also took to the air to pursue them, but before they could launch any kind of attack, they heard a series of puffing sounds from below them.
It was almost like someone or something was spitting at them.
“Ah ……” Yuan Shi screamed out. Hearing this, Guo Yuan Ming was thoroughly frightened and hurriedly looked down only to see a massive group of giant spiders. These spiders came in all sizes and colours but more importantly, one of them, about the size of an ox, had captured Yuan Shi in its web, wrapped him up, and was now hauling him away.
It was obvious at first glance just how tough this spider’s silk was, after all, Yuan Shi was an Immortal Ascension Boundary Second Stage master yet he was unable to free himself from his cocoon.
*Pu pu pu…*
More and more silk threads were constantly being spat from these spider’s mouths, quickly forming an inescapable net around all the cultivators present.
After only two breaths worth of time, most of these cultivators had been caught, dragged down to the ground, and wrapped up. Only the most agile amongst them, and those who had reacted the quickest by flying up were still free.
But… it was still too late.
Even Yang Kai and Shan Qing Luo had been hit by several of these silk thread projectiles and were slowly being pulled down.
“Damn it!” Yang Kai’s expression changed dramatically, and he pushed his True Qi to its limit, as he madly hacked away at these threads with his Asura Sword.
The Asura Sword was a Heaven Grade artifact. It’s sharpness was extremely high, so even though the Immortal Ascension Boundary masters here couldn’t break free from these threads, Yang Kai could still easily cut through them.
“This is it!” Shan Qing Luo let out an involuntarily shout as she stared towards the ground, “Turns out it was here!”
“Huh?” Yang Kai asked curiously.
“The thing I came out to find, it was right below us!” Shan Qing Luo’s eyes flashed a joyous light.
“You’ve been looking for a spider den?” Yang Kai was momentarily stunned but quickly remembered Shan Qing Luo saying that her special constitution was called the Poison Widow Body.
[Is her Poison Widow Body somehow related to these spiders?]
“Oh no, these silk threads contain poison.” Shan Qing Luo suddenly remembered, her face instantly becoming pale.
If she had arrived here when she was at her peak, she would not be afraid of the toxins hidden in these threads, but now that her strength had dropped so much she was unable to stop this poison from affecting her.
“Why didn’t you say so sooner!?” Yang Kai cried out in frustration as he too began to feel the effects of the poison, his strength draining as his consciousness started to blur.
This must be one big joke! Not only did he not manage to escape, he had instead trapped himself in an even worse situation.
Although Yang Kai knew beforehand that it would be dangerous to provoke whatever creatures were beneath them, he had not thought he would completely provoke so many powerful spiders.
The biggest spider, the one the size of an ox, was clearly a Sixth-Order Monster Beast! And surrounding it were at least twenty or thirty other Monster Beasts.
However, if he hadn’t acted, he and Shan Qing Luo would not have been able to escape Guo Yuan Ming’s clutches. So instead of being captured or killed by them, dragging them down with them could be considered an improvement.
Thinking so, Yang Kai’s consciousness gradually faded.
But before he fell completely unconscious, Yang Kai pushed both his palms forward and shot out a weakly glowing orb of light which quickly made its way into the body of one of the poisonous spiders.
Seeing this gambit succeed, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, tightly embracing Shan Qing Luo as the two of them fell to the ground.
That poisonous spider was stunned for a moment before continuing on as if nothing had happened, spitting more threads from its mouth, wrapping Yang Kai and Shan Qing Luo up before dragging them off.
After an unknown amount of time, Yang Kai slowly regained consciousness, his whole body still quite limp, unable to move, completely encased within a thick layer of spider silk.
From the vague shadows and images he could make out of the outside world, Yang Kai saw many silk cocoon-like objects huddled together.
At first glance, these things seemed somewhat familiar, and as he thought carefully, he realized that they looked nearly identical to the white silk chrysalis that Shan Qing Luo had been encased in when she was attempting her breakthrough one month ago.
Many of these cocoons showed traces of movement. Yang Kai slightly released his Divine Sense and immediately found that many of the stronger cultivators had woken up and were clearly trying to find a way to escape.
But with their bodies still poisoned, how could they hope to break free?
Upon his chest he suddenly noticed a warm breath and a faint fragrance wafting across his nose. When Yang Kai looked down, the first thing he saw was a head of soft supple black hair.
Shan Qing Luo, still in a deep sleep, was snuggly nestled in his arms. Their two bodies were pressed tightly together, and his arms were wrapped around her delicate waist. Feeling her supple body in his arms, and two amazingly elastic mounds pressed against his chest, Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling a bit stimulated.
After gently calling out to her a few times, Shan Qing Luo did not show any signs of waking.
So as a last resort, Yang Kai could only use his hands to slowly stroke Shan Qing Luo’s smooth delicate waist, gradually applying more and more strength until his fingers involuntarily sunk deeply into her supple lower region and severely massaged it a few times.
Feeling her shapely hips touched so aggressively, Shan Qing Luo finally woke up.
Unconsciously twisting her tender body, a seductive moan leaked from her mouth.
Hearing this, Yang Kai regained his wits and quickly stopped.
Seeing her pair of elegant enchanting eyes slowly open, Yang Kai hurriedly whispered, “Beauty, you have to control yourself!”
Once she became aroused, the consequences would be disastrous. After all, Yang Kai didn’t want to faint again after just waking up.
Her eyes were slightly confused for a while, then Shan Qing Luo quickly composed herself and recalled everything that had happened. Seemingly aware that Yang Kai had just pulled some kind of stunt, this devilish woman actually ground her teeth in frustration and glared at him, “Little bastard, what did you do ? “
However, Yang Kai just grinned and shrugged, “I was just trying to wake you up.”
Without waiting for her to shoot back, Yang Kai quickly re-directed the conversation, “What should we do now?”
Shan Qing Luo’s brow wrinkled as she struggled a little, soon finding that she and Yang Kai were tightly wrapped together by the silk cocoon unable to move about freely or even separate. She also quickly became aware of something hot and hard pressing against her lower abdomen.
Her lashes jittering, Shan Qing Luo giggled meaningfully as she glanced towards Yang Kai.
Understanding her meaning, Yang Kai without an ounce of embarrassment said, “It’s an instinctive reaction, definitely not intentional, you can only blame yourself for being too charming!”
However, Shan Qing Luo didn’t seem annoyed, just a bit shy as her cheeks became slightly pink.
“These spider webs are quite tough, it won’t be easy to break free from them.” Yang Kai frowned as he discussed their situation, “But, my artifact can still cut through them.”
“Don’t!” Shan Qing Luo quickly warned, her expression quite solemn “Right now we are quite weak, even if you can cut open this cocoon there’s no way for us to escape this place with so many Sixth-Order Monster Beast around. If we provoke them, we’ll only end up dying faster.”
Yang Kai nodded slightly. It was because he was worried about this exact point that he had not already tried to cut his way free. Although he had gained control of one of the Sixth-Order spiders before falling unconscious, in their current predicament it wouldn’t be enough to ensure their safe escape. For now, it was better if he simply allowed it to guard his and Shan Qing Luo’s safety.
“Earlier, you said you came here to find something?”
This subterranean cavern was clearly a spider’s nest, and not a normal spider’s nest at that. With so many Sixth-Order Monster Beasts living here, along with countless Fifth-Order and Fourth-Order poisonous spiders, this was definitely not a place to take lightly.
“This is the Spider Mother’s Den!” Shan Qing Luo softly replied, a faint sweet aroma wafting off her breath, like the scent of flowers, gently brushing past Yang Kai’s nose, which caused him some slight discomfort. “My family’s special constitution was acquired from here. It is said that one of my ancestors had come here by accident hundreds of years ago and was bitten by a great poisonous spider. After going back, her physique changed and was from that point on passed down from generation to generation.”
In this world, some people’s constitutions were very special, different from the average persons’.
So far, Yang Kai had only met one such person, Xia Ning Chang who possessed the Sacred Spirit Medicine Body!
And now, he had met Shan Qing Luo, the possessor of the Poison Widow Body. However, comparing the two, Shan Qing Luo’s special constitution was somewhat evil.
Most special constitutions were innate, unable to be inherited by one’s descendants.
But this Poison Widow Body was undoubtedly the kind of constitution that could be inherited!
“Every one of my ancestors, after their cultivation had achieved a certain height, would come here seeking something. Obtaining it would allow them the display the full potential of their physique.” Shan Qing Luo continued to explain “I have never been here before and had only learned the route from my mother, but I did not expect after all those twist and turns to inadvertently arrive here. Perhaps this is the will of the Heavens!”
Letting out a faint sigh, Shan Qing Luo wasn’t sure whether this was a fortunate or unfortunate development.
“Yang Kai?” As the two of them were speaking, all of a sudden they heard Qiu Yi Meng’s voice.
Apparently she had been placed next to them and had just now awoken. Yang Kai glanced around and soon discovered the source of her voice, a slightly struggling white spider cocoon a couple meters away from him.
“Elder Sister Qiu …” Luo Xiao Man’s voice also called out, coming from another cocoon to his right.
This was an unexpected coincidence, these two little girls actually being placed beside Yang Kai.
“Xiao Man, don’t be afraid, don’t move around too much, you don’t want to attract those Monster Beasts’ attention.”
Qiu Yi Meng was still quite calm, even taking the time to comfort Luo Xiao Man.
“En,” Luo Xiao Man swiftly replied, stopping her struggles.
“Yang Kai, I know you are next to me, I clearly heard your voice!” Qiu Yi Meng called out softly. Under such dangerous circumstances, she didn’t dare speak too loudly.
“What do you want?” Yang Kai snapped back. He very much didn’t like this woman. She had unreasonably come to High Heaven Pavilion, acting completely domineering, and without a word launched an attack which caused him to be separated from his companions and his lover.
“Still upset?” Qiu Yi Meng giggled lightly, her voice did not contain the slightest remorse or embarrassment. “Facing imminent death, will such a big man like you care so much about some past grievances with a little girl like me?”
“Little girl?” Yang Kai snorted, “The Qiu Family’s world’s famous first young lady, only twenty one years old yet already a True Element Boundary Ninth Stage master, the Qiu Family’s great hope for the future, the object of every Eight Great Families’ young master’s dreams? You dare call yourself some ‘little girl?’”
Qiu Yi Meng giggled happily, “You seem to know quite a bit about me, are you perhaps an admirer of mine?”
“Hah! Why would I concern myself with you?” Yang Kai spat disdainfully “This Young Master currently has this world’s most charming woman in his arms, her tender peaks pressed right up against my chest! Enough nonsense, if you have something to say just say it!”
Shan Qing Luo gently pinched and twisted Yang Kai’s waist, but her eyes still flashed a touch of pride.
Listening to others praise her charms was normally grating because they were no doubt hiding ulterior motives, coveting her beauty or profaning her in their minds, but somehow Yang Kai praising her felt comfortable. Just his comment about her chest was a bit distasteful.
“Must you use such foul language?” Qiu Yi Meng frowned.
“Then don’t bother listening if it offends you. I’m also too lazy to waste my spit on you.”
Qiu Yi Meng softly laughed, “But you’re right, in the face of the Elder Sister Shan, the dream woman of every man, I really can’t compare.”
Shan Qing Luo watery eyes twinkled slightly, and she softly whispered to Yang Kai, “This little girl really has some a quick wit, she probably has something she wants to request.”
Sure enough, Qiu Yi Meng quickly followed up, “Qiu Family Qiu Yi Meng greets Elder Sister Shan. A few days ago, I was unaware of Elder Sister Shan’s distinguished status, moreover I even offended you. I humbly ask Elder Sister Shan to not mind my impoliteness.”
Qiu Yi Meng had obviously heard Shan Qing Luo’s name, one of the six Great Evil Kings. Although she was currently the weakest, she was also the youngest, so there was no doubt that it would not be long before she could openly hold her own against the other five overlords.
One month ago, she had not known her identity, but now that she did, Qiu Yi Meng naturally did not show any disrespect.
“Hehe…” Shan Qing Luo giggled openly and smiled happily towards Yang Kai before leisurely responding, “Junior Sister Qiu’s tongue is quite sweet, but this Elder Sister Elder Sister you keep shouting about, I believe the gap in our ages isn’t that small.”
Qiu Yi Meng grinned happily and softly quipped, “Though Elder Sister is definitely older, she most definitely looks younger. If we were to go out together, others would only be able to think I am the Elder Sister.”
Hearing such praise, Shan Qing Luo smiled more radiantly, and her charm instantly magnified.
[This temptress!] Yang Kai took a deep breath, and did not dare to stare into her eyes, afraid he might lose control of himself, “Sister Qiu, please be at ease.” Shan Qing Luo quickly asked, no longer teasing Qiu Yi Meng. With the Beguiling Demon Queen as her partner, even this Qiu Family’s first young lady was under no small pressure, always on edge, afraid she may inadvertently anger her.
“What advice does Sister Qiu want to speak?”
“I don’t dare!” Qiu Yi Meng politely replied, “Junior Sister just wished to ask if Elder Sister has any way of escaping our current predicament?”
Shan Qing Luo was the strongest master here, and although she was also currently bound, she was still the best chance they had of making it out of this situation alive, and relying on the others like Guo Yuan Ming was not even worth considering.
“If Elder Sister has any way out of this, could you possibly bring our two Junior Sisters along with you?” Qiu Yi Meng asked cautiously “Elder Sister Shan will not regret doing so, my Qiu Family has a Treasure Bead, a naturally occurring Heaven Grade Top-Rank artifact. By perennially wearing it, it will preserve the beauty of Elder Sister Shan’s face, if you can help us, Junior Sister can have it brought to you.”
Shan Qing Luo’s beautiful eyes suddenly flashed, obviously somewhat interested.
Qiu Yi Meng was indeed the Qiu Family’s first young lady. Although she was young, she was still well versed in reading people’s hearts. If she promised Shan Qing Luo some outstanding Precious Treasures or high grade elixirs she would likely not be tempted, but this artifact specifically useful for maintaining a woman’s beauty was clearly different.
After all, which beauty didn’t want to maintain their youthful radiance and appeal?
Especially a Heavenly beauty like Shan Qing Luo, her face becoming yellowed and wrinkled after merely a hundred years was no doubt one of her biggest worries.
Observing Shan Qing Luo’s silence, Qiu Yi Meng knew that she had found a path forward and immediately pressed her advantage. She quickly followed up, “If Elder Sister Shan has any other request, please don’t hesitate to ask, as long as this Junior Sister can accomplish it, I will agree.”
“Oh… really?” Shan Qing Luo suddenly smiled slyly.
“Of course!”
“Good, then I want you and that little girl named Xiao Man!”
Qiu Yi Meng was startled, quickly wearing a forced smile, “What does Elder Sister Shan mean?”
“I have a little rascal here who seems to be very interested in both of you. If you can serve as his maidservants for a year, I’ll take you with me when I leave this place!”
“Hey…!” Yang Kai couldn’t help pinching the beauty before him, calmly saying, “Why are you trying to pull me into this? I don’t deny that I have some stray thoughts towards them, but that’s just a man’s nature. I don’t actually want to be involved with them.”
“I’m just casually saying things; I don’t actually have a way out of this mess.” Shan Qing Luo grinned.
“Are these his intentions?” Qiu Yi Meng replied, a gentle grating sound was apparent in her voice. Although she did her best to hide it, she was clearly irritated.
“Nope, these are just my whims!”
“Elder Sister Shan seems to be quite good towards him.” Qiu Yi Meng smiled helplessly and wondered why the Beguiling Demon Queen would take such an interested in this little High Heaven Pavilion brat.
[They… they’ve only known each other for less than a month or so. During that time, what exactly happened?]
“Please let me consider Elder Sister’s proposal!” Qiu Yi Meng bit her lip and whispered.
“En.” Shan Qing Luo didn’t force her any further, instead just nodding lightly.
Inside the spider’s sack, Yang Kai looked suspiciously at Shan Qing Luo, “Beauty… have you taken a fancy to me, so you’re suddenly being so generous to me?”
Shan Qing Luo blushed lightly and glanced towards him, “So what if I am?”
Yang Kai was instantly dumbfounded, “So you prefer having an old cow to eat tender grass? Gah… it hurts!”
Shan Qing Luo sneered and maliciously twisted Yang Kai’s chest as she grit her teeth, “Old cow eating tender grass? This Queen taking a fancy to you is your lifetime’s ultimate blessing!”
“I can’t accept such a blessing!” Yang Kai stared at her in shock, unable to believe what he was hearing. “Even if you’ve become taken with me, I have no way to really be with you. Why are you intentionally trying to seduce me?”
Shan Qing Luo’s face instantly became chilly, and she glared at him with a slightly murderous look. “You’ve already done so many bad things to me. Felt and explored every part of my body, yet you still refuse to take responsibility?”
“Simply by touching you a little, you’ve decided it is necessary for you to rely on me?” Yang Kai wryly smiled and stared back at her before he seriously replied, “Besides, I’m just a young kid without any previous experiences; before meeting you, I was both physically and mentally innocent, so in reality I’m the one who’s lost something! But out of fairness and virtue, why don’t we forget about all of that and just carry on as if it never happened?”
“You shameless lying little bastard! Being so skillful and aggressive, how could you have possibly had no experience?” Shan Qing Luo angrily glared at Yang Kai before suddenly revealing an elegant smile, “Each generation of my Poison Widow Body family will only ever develop emotional attachment to a single man. Since you’ve already emblazoned your image into my heart, don’t even dream of being able to escape in this lifetime!”
“…Fuck! How can the Heavens be so cruel!” Yang Kai complained vehemently.
“Hehe…” Shan Qing Luo giggled happily with a proud smile pasted upon her face and a victorious light flashing in her eyes.
But suddenly, a shrill scream rang out from nearby.
Everyone who had awakened heard this scream, held their breath, and perked up their ears to listen only to hear a slicing noise followed by the sound gushing liquid, and then they saw a bright red splash of light just outside the layers of spider silk imprisoning them.
“Young Lord… don’t come out, they’re just outside, ah!” After an anguished shout, there was quickly no more movement.
A moment later, an eerie sound of chewing could be heard.
Shan Qing Luo’s beautiful face slightly paled. Her soft tender body involuntarily pressed closer to Yang Kai, shrinking up into his arms.
“That was one of Bai Family’s man…” Luo Xiao Man’s voice tremblingly called out from beside them, a light whimpering obvious in her words. This girl, although her chest was large her courage was somewhat small. This one month of panicked fleeing had no doubt strained her nerves to their limit.
Usually, Qiu Yi Meng would quickly comfort her, but now that they had been captured and she had been separated from Qiu Yi Meng, she suddenly found herself isolated and alone, the pressure she felt was quickly becoming unbearable.
“Xiao Man, don’t cry, or else you’ll draw those spiders’ attention to you!” Qiu Yi Meng hurriedly called out, eagerly trying to soothe her.
But how could Luo Xiao Man all of a sudden control her emotions after losing control? Although she had quickly clamped her hands over her mouth, her sobs were still gradually becoming louder, leading to an ox-sized eight-legged spider soon arriving in front of her. Frightened by this, Luo Xiao Man let out a loud shriek and instantly fainted.
[We are doomed!] Everyone was certain that this girl had reached the end of her life.
Even Yang Kai couldn’t help holding his breath as he listened carefully to the noises around him.
Fortunately, for some unknown reason, this giant spider simply lingered around in front of Luo Xiao Man for a while before leisurely walking away.
*Haa…* Qiu Yi Meng let out a long sigh of relief. Her worst fears slowly receded, and she quickly discovered that her entire body had become soaked in cold sweat.
“It looks like even if we speak to one another, as long as we don’t make any attempt to escape they’ll ignore us,” Yang Kai said thoughtfully.
Unfortunately for that Bai Family cultivator, he had used some unknown method to escape from the spider sack and was thus condemned to death.
Listening to his hypothesis, everyone couldn’t help relaxing slightly. The sound of ragged breathing suddenly erupting from all over the cavern. Before now, everyone had tried their best to suppress the sound of their breath and even their own heartbeats.
“Brother Guo, Brother Guo…” Yuan Shi suddenly called out.
“I’m here!” Guo Yuan Ming quickly responded, softly whispering, “Brothers, are you alright?”
“Not really!” Gu Tian Luo joined in.
“Right now we’re only wrapped up in these spider sacks and are temporarily unable to move.” Yuan Shi continued, “We’re capable of breaking these webs but Brother Guo knows there are many of those spiders outside, right? How should we deal with them?”
Guo Yuan Ming was unable to reply, twenty or thirty Sixth-Order Monster Beasts. Altogether they only had five or six Immortal Ascension Boundary masters on their side. Clearly, they weren’t worthy opponents. And these spiders’ ability to shoot webs was really overwhelming, even if they were capable of flight they would not necessarily be able to escape.
“Damn it! How did this happen?!” Yuan Shi cursed angrily, “Why are there so many spiders here?”
Shan Qing Luo couldn’t help letting out a light laughter, reveling in these mens’ anguish, sarcastically quipping “Retribution!”
Guo Yuan Ming quickly became enraged, cursing viciously, “Cheap slut! You’d better pray that I don’t manage to escape from here, if I get out, sooner or later I’ll make you suffer a fate worse than death! I’ll make you beg for mercy under this Lords crotch!”
Shan Qing Luo face suddenly went cold as she inhaled a deep breath. She wanted to retort, but eventually didn’t saying anything.
Since no one here could actually fight, in a war of insults, a woman was never a man’s opponent, cursing back at them with any kind of unscrupulous words would only serve to stain Shan Qing Luo’s dignity further.
“Hahaha!” Seeing her chose to remain silent, Yuan Shi burst out into laughter, “Brother Guo, this whore’s fame is legendary, and you alone might not be her opponent! Be careful that she doesn’t suck you dry!”
Gu Tian Luo also lewdly called out, “Good thing Brother Guo isn’t alone! There are so many of us brothers here to help.”
“Fuck yeah! Wait until we escape this storm, with more than a dozen of us brothers taking turns nonstop, I’d like to see how many days and nights this world’s greatest slut can persist for!”
“Elder Brother Yu, you cultivate a yin-yang absorbing art, right? Which do you think is more potent, your Secret Art or her Beguiling Technique?”
That Brother Yu wore a vicious grin, “Between our two Secret Art’s strength, how could I dare compare myself with this wench! Everyone knows this slut spends all night crying out in ecstasy, draining the Yang Yuan force from an untold number of men then tossing their dried up dead husks into mass graves! But if both our Secret Arts aren’t used, this Lord has confidence that this bitch will soon choose to submit!”
“Hahaha! Brother Yu has such great style!”
“Brother Ban, I heard a few days ago you received quite a number of girls; all of them beautiful virgins. After we escape from here, you should contribute a few of them to us, let your brothers share in your fun!”
“Good idea Brother Yu!” Guo Yuan Ming loudly applauded, although he was still slightly unnerved by their current predicament, even he couldn’t stop his breath from becoming heavy, and he laughed wretchedly, “At that time, we’ll cripple this so called Demon Queen’s cultivation, then force feed her some violent stimulants, then while we brothers play with Brother Ban’s new girls, we can watch this slut writhe in agony.”
“Hahaha! At that time, I’m sure this arrogant Demon Queen will cry out and beg us to rape her!”
“After we play with her a thousand times, we’ll sell her to this world’s filthiest whore house so that those beggars, cripples and wastes can have a turn with her! After a few years living there, forget being this world’s most charming woman, I’m afraid even wild dogs won’t be able to stand her rotten stench!”
“Ha ha ha…”
…
As their foul language became uglier and uglier, this group of the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land cultivators suddenly found themselves unable to stop, and they released their pent up bitterness by profaning Shan Qing Luo with the most horrid and obscene insults they could hurl.
As these words reached her ears, Shan Qing Luo’s face became more and more cold, and her breathing slowly increased. Her tender body trembled involuntarily, and her beautiful eyes were now dyed completely in murderous light, as her anger reached never before seen heights.
Yang Kai who was with her also couldn’t help becoming indignant.
“I’ll kill them! Sooner or later I’ll slaughter each and every one of them like dogs!” Shan Qing Luo ground her teeth as she clenched her fists. Her mouth constantly murmured such thoughts. She was the Beguiling Demon Queen. Usually no man dared even gaze upon her much less insult her with obscene curses, but now that they had all fallen into the tigers den, these few trash servants of the Beast King had debased her no less than a hundred times.
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you vent your anger!” Yang Kai suddenly chuckled loudly.
“Hmm?” Shan Qing Luo suddenly looked up at him.
“Well, just listen!” Yang Kai grinned mysteriously, and his face slowly became cold.
This group of evil cultivators were still continuing their presumptuous tirade, spewing mouthfuls of base insults, venting to their hearts content, when suddenly one of them screamed out in horror.
All of a sudden this conversation came to an end.
“Brother Yuan, what happened? What happened to you?” Guo Yuan Ming asked frantically. The voice that had cried out no doubt belonged to Yuan Shi, but after that he no longer spoke.
“Brother Yuan!”
Several others also called out, yet Yuan Shi still didn’t respond.
An unknown feeling of dread slowly began to envelop the crowd, but before they could figure out what had happened, another scream rang out.
This time it was that Brother Yu, he cried out in pain, screaming in despair, “Why!? This Lord didn’t try to escape, why are you attacking me?”
As he screamed, this Brother Yu quickly tried to release a Martial Skill.
However this only served to bring more attention to himself, soon drawing many more giant spiders towards him. Within a mere few breaths of time, this Brother Yu had become a shredded corpse.
Everyone instantly fell silent, and no one dared to speak.
Shan Qing Luo’s beautiful eyes filled with an astonished light, and she quickly gazed suspiciously towards Yang Kai, while trying to figure out what secret hand he had played in these events.
However, Yang Kai simply grinned and softly whispered, “It’s not over yet.”
As soon as he spoke these words, another panicked voice cried out, “Brother Ban, one of those spiders is moving towards you!”
“What?” A panicked voice cried out, this Brother Ban clearly didn’t want to sit still and wait for death, so he instantly began pushing his True Qi and with a great roar violently ripped the silk cocoon holding him, but just as he emerged, a sharp knife-like spider leg chopped down on his head.
After a violently blooming crimson flower burst forth, a severed head rolled down to the ground, quickly followed by a fountain of blood spraying out.
“What’s going on!?” Guo Yuan Ming cried out.
All of them had thought that there would be no problem if they spoke as long as they didn’t try to escape, but now it seems like they had unwittingly drawn the attention of these spiders.
At that moment, the sound of movement suddenly came from in front of Guo Yuan Ming accompanied by the faint outline of a giant Sixth-Order Monster Beast spider appearing through the thick white spider silk cocoon before him.
“Brothers, these spiders have started indiscriminately slaughtering, we have to escape now!” Guo Yuan Ming roared loudly, instantly split open the cocoon which was binding him, and launched an all-out assault towards the giant spider before him, using the rebounding force from this attack to fling himself backwards.
Seeing Guo Yuan Ming act so decisively, the others didn’t dare hesitate. All of them used whatever means available to them to escape from these sacks and follow behind him.
*Pu pu pu….*
Instantly, the surrounding twenty or thirty Sixth-Order Monster Beasts pounced onto these evil cultivators, wantonly spitting out threads of silk and captured everyone one by one, not allowing a single one of them to escape, and soon all of them were once more wrapped up and turned into squirming dumplings.
Instantly, everyone was captured again.
A giant ox-sized spider stood watch nearby as this whole process took place. It then slowly walked over to these people, spat some more silk, wrapped them up, and pulled them back into the den.
Seeing that they temporarily didn’t have to fear for their lives, this group of frightened people subconsciously relaxed slightly, but were suddenly somewhat confused about why these spiders had begun to slaughter earlier.
But before they had completely relaxed, the giant spider which had previously been wantonly killing before, again raised its sharp foreleg and mercilessly stabbed down.
*Pu…*
Blood spattered, screams rang out and Guo Yuan Ming’s body was viciously pierced. He struggled fiercely, roaring in pain as he rolled around, but this spider no longer paid him any attention, and allowed the other spiders to haul him away, leaving behind a long bloody streak as he was dragged off.
Not only Guo Yuan Ming, all of the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land cultivators were stabbed by this spider. A few of them with bad luck were killed on the spot, while those who didn’t were scared senseless.
Endless screams were heard, and one bloody stain after another was left behind on the ground, a truly gruesome scene.
Qiu Yi Meng’s pair of beautiful eyes was filled with horror. Her face wore a look of sheer panic. After just listening to Guo Yuan Ming’s words, she had nearly made a desperate escape herself.
But if she had really broken free, she most likely would have died as well.
Fortunately, just before she was about to escape, she had glanced over and saw that Yang Kai and Shan Qing Luo remained perfectly still. Since these two were not moving, Qiu Yi Meng also decided to trust their instincts. She grit her teeth and pinned all her hopes on Shan Qing Luo.
Now it seems she really had made the right choice.
As the rest of the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land cultivators were dragged off, all of the remaining Monster Beasts looked at their bloodthirsty comrade, confused as to why it had suddenly decided to kill these people.
After a long period of silence, these Monster Beasts gradually dispersed.
“Why…” Guo Yuan Ming asked weakly. His hand clutched his stomach, and he was unable to even circulate his Secret Art. His blood steadily flowed out, and his voice was filled with weakness, “Why did this happen?”
These beasts seemed to have specifically targeted his Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land brothers, sparing everyone else. This point alone confounded Guo Yuan Ming.
“Must be retribution. Ha ha ha!” Yang Kai’s rampant laughter quickly reached his ears.
“What did you do?” Shan Qing Luo gazed at Yang Kai with her eyes full of disbelief.
Yang Kai just said that he would help her vent her anger, and then these people suffered a fierce attack. If Yang Kai now professed he had not played any role in this, Shan Qing Luo would never believe him.
But she had truly not seen him made any suspicious moves, so how had he controlled that Sixth-Order Monster Beast?
“Cool, right?” Yang Kai grinned smugly.
Shan Qing Luo’s pair of infinitely charming eyes suddenly filled with a strange light as she stared deeply into Yang Kai’s. A touch of passion flashed across them.
Suddenly, standing on her tiptoes she gently lifted herself up and pressed her red lips onto his.
“Wu…” Yang Kai was caught completely by surprise, his arms already wrapped around Shan Qing Luo’s slender waist involuntarily exerting more strength, and pressed this devilish woman’s tender body closer to his own, seemingly trying to melt their two bodies together.
Her pair of thin red lips were soft yet also hot. Not only did they feel erotic the flavour they held was entrancing enough to soften his bones.
As the two passionately locked lips, Shan Qing Luo’s breath began to carry a strange fragrance, prompting her to quickly stop.
Gazing towards Yang Kai, she couldn’t help smiling mischievously, “We can’t… for too long, if I… if I really become entranced, it won’t end well.”
Yang Kai grinned, his expression quite bitter. Licking his lips as he said, “Damn it, you devilish woman! A poor young man like me falling into your grasp, how could my end be good?”
“Hmph, taking advantage of me so much is your life’s good fortune!” Shan Qing Luo said, her voice full of meaning, “Other men can’t even gaze upon me yet you’ve already stolen so much from me.”
“First off, I didn’t make you do all that,” Yang Kai said in a straightforward tone.
“What are you two doing?” Qiu Yi Meng asked softly.
“Expressing our undying love for one another!”
“Shameless!” Qiu Yi Meng quickly shouted before falling silent, her face slightly red, [No wonder there was a strange heavy breathing coming from their side.]
As time passed by, and the sun and moon rose and fell…
It had been a couple of days since these spiders had caught them, and those who were left were still trapped inside these cocoons, unable to escape. Yang Kai and Shan Qing Luo had been cuddled together this whole time. This devilish woman was worthy of her notoriety. Every one of her actions, a simple breath, and single glance, was enough to seduce Yang Kai and throw his emotions into a whirl. But because of her special physique, Yang Kai didn’t dare act too presumptuously, even unable to tease her too much, so these days had been quite difficult for him.
Qiu Yi Meng close by somehow maintained her calm. From start to finish, she did not show any concern or panic. Meanwhile Luo Xiao Man shed numerous tears every day, obviously quite scared.
The little brat Bai Yun Feng also woke up a while ago but since he learned about all the recent developments he had remained silent, unsure of what to do or think.
The Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land’s cultivators had all died miserable deaths, some of them from being torn apart while others from excessive blood loss.
On this day, Yang Kai suddenly discovered the presence of an extremely tyrannical blood force while he was exploring the surroundings with his Divine Sense.
The strength of this presence and the murderous aura it radiated dwarfed even those of the many Sixth-Order Monster Beast spiders. Its appearance was very abrupt, as if it had always been there but had only just woken up now.
Before he even had time to warn Shan Qing Luo, a pressure like the entire world was shaken descended upon them, like the Earth was splitting and the Heavens were shaking.
From some unknown place, everyone present suddenly felt like something was gazing towards them.
Under this unseen gaze, no matter who it was they couldn’t help feeling small and humble, unable to lift their heads before this presence.
Yang Kai also became pale, his True Qi unconsciously circulated.
However, Shan Qing Luo quickly shouted, “Don’t move!”
“Hmm?” Seeing her act like this, Yang Kai felt she knew something about this presence and couldn’t help asking.
“It’s her.” Shan Qing Luo beautiful eyes slightly trembling, an extremely complex look surfacing on her face.
“Who?”
“The Spider Mother!” Shan Qing Luo softly replied, “A Seventh-Order Monster Beast! None of us are its opponent!”
“Seventh-Order?” Yang Kai gasped in shock.
“En.” Shan Qing Luo nodded solemnly, “How else do you think this group of Monster Beasts is able to live here so care freely? A Sixth-Order Monster Beast’s Beast Core is extremely valuable, and with so many Sixth-Order Monster Beasts around, without this Spider Mother watching over them, they’d have long been harvested clean.”
With a Seventh-Order Monster Beast here, even if someone accidentally discovered this place and had thoughts about harvesting the Sixth-Order Monster Beasts for themselves they would have to weigh whether or not they could bear the cost.
“However, most of the time the Spider Mother is either busy spawning her young or sleeping, so unless someone deliberately attacks this place she will not pay them any mind.” Shan Qing Luo whispered, “See that stone spider statue over there?”
In the direction she indicated, Yang Kai really could see the outline of a stone statue. It was incredible immense and obviously in the shape which greatly resembled the spider Monster Beasts in this den.
“The Spider Mother usually lives inside that statue, and the thing I’ve come here for should also be there, her venom! In this world, only women who posses the Poison Widow Body can safely enter that stone statue.”
“Is it possible for the Spider Mother to feel your blood force?”
“En, that should be the case.” Shan Qing Luo nodded. This was the first time she had come here, so she was not completely sure of the situation.
“Then you should try consulting with her and see if she’s willing to let us go,” Yang Kai suggested.
“I can only try!” Shan Qing Luo bit her lip, but didn’t make any promises.
Closing her eyes, she tried her best to communicate with the Spider Mother following the method her own mother had left behind to her.
A moment later, an enchanting voice floated into everyone’s ears, even Yang Kai could hear it clearly.
“Hm? Are you this generation’s Poison Widow Body woman?”
Yang Kai’s expression suddenly change, twisting his head around to scan his surroundings but unable to see anything; the voice was crisp yet soft, like the sound of an alluring beauty softly whispering, causing people’s minds to sway.
Shan Qing Luo quickly whispered, “Don’t panic, this is just the Spider Mother using her Divine Sense to speak with me!”
Yang Kai was suddenly aghast.
A Monster Beast that was capable of communicating with people using its Divine Sense!
This was the first time he had encountered a Monster Beast with such abilities. He knew that a Sixth-Order Monster Beast wouldn’t be able to accomplish this yet this Spider Mother Seventh-Order Monster Beast before him could.
Shan Qing Luo quickly yet solemnly replied, “Yes! This Junior pays her respects to the Spider Mother!”
“Who is Han Fei Yan to you?” Asked the Spider Mother calmly.
“Han Fei Yan is my mother!” Shan Qing Luo promptly replied, careful not to show the slightest disrespect.
“It has been thirty years since then… it seems this generation has already grown up, but how is it that your strength is so low?”
Shan Qing Luo couldn’t help smiling wryly, “Junior encountered a minor accident, after some days my strength should be fully restored.”
“En.” The Spider Mother softly acknowledge, remaining silent for a moment before continuing, “Since you have already found your way here, I shall grant you what you came for and the allow you to leave. At any rate, you can somewhat be considered my descendant so we share at least some connection!”
Seeing how well things had gone so far, Shan Qing Luo couldn’t help smiling happily, quickly asking, “Please forgive this Junior, Spider Mother, but would you be willing to let the people who came here with me leave as well?”
Yang Kai suddenly looked towards Shan Qing Luo in astonishment, seemingly not expecting this devilish woman to be so compassionate.
*Hmph!* The Spider Mother coldly snorted, loudly proclaiming, “These people dared damage my nest and now have delusions about leaving it alive? Aside from you, my child, everyone else must die!”
“Spider Mother, please recons…”
“Enough nonsense!”
Shan Qing Luo grit her teeth and glanced towards Yang Kai, a look of struggle flashing across her face but soon she regained her calm as her will became firm, “Please Spider Mother, at least I must take him away!”
“Such impudence!” The Spider Mother voice carried a hint of annoyance, even going so far as to have her underling spiders approach the various cocoon sacks here.
“Forget it, I shall grant you five days of time to carefully consider your situation. After five days I will awaken again and if you still insist on not wanting to leave alone… then there will be no need for you to leave at all!” After delivering this cold ultimatum, the Spider Mother fell silent again.
The daunting pressure which had been pressing down on everyone also vanished without a trace; apparently the Spider Mother had once more fallen into a deep sleep.
Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man couldn’t help trembling. They too had heard the conversation between Shan Qing Luo and the Spider Mother a moment ago. They too were similarly as horrified as Yang Kai was, never imagining that such a powerful Monster Beast existed in this world.
Bai Yun Feng nearby also involuntarily let out a desolate voice, “So in five days’ time we will all die?”
Although all of them had been in a constant state of anxiety, the surrounding spiders had yet to actually make a move towards them, so many of them still held out some hope, but now, after listening to the Spider Mother’s judgement sentencing them to death just five days later, how could any of them be willing to accept?
With his mind thrown into panic and facing imminent death, Bai Yun Feng suddenly snapped and shouted, “Yang Kai, I, your Father, will make sure you pay for this!”
“What the fuck is your problem!” Yang Kai cursed, extremely irritated.
“Hey hey…” Bai Yun Feng grinned and viciously retorted, “If it weren’t for you smashing the ground earlier, how could we have all gotten caught by this group of spiders?”
“If I didn’t do that how could you still be alive to whine about it now? All of you would have already been killed by Guo Yuan Ming and his gang already!” Yang Kai sneered, knowing that Bai Yun Feng couldn’t be reasoned with right now.
“This Young Lord is the first son of the famous Bai Family! Would they really have killed me?” Bai Yun Feng snorted. “As long as I had reported my true identity, they would definitely have taken me hostage to exchange with my Bai Family rather than murdering me.”
“Maybe you wouldn’t have died, but if Young Lady Qiu and Young Lady Luo had fallen into their hands… hah, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be able to hold on to their innocence anymore. I think that if they had been given a choice they would have still chosen to be stuck here in this spider sacks rather than being caught by those bastards.”
“Why should I give a damn about their innocence? I just want to live!” Bai Yun Feng roared loudly.
As soon as he had spoken these words though, he suddenly realized that it was not something he should have said out loud, suddenly becoming silent.
“Bai Yun Feng… I didn’t think you were so…” Luo Xiao Man’s sad voice softly echoed, an infinite amount of disappointment and disgust contained within it.
A woman’s purity was sometimes more important to her than her life. At that time, Luo Xiao Man would have gladly taken her own life rather than be humiliated if they had been caught by the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land brutes.
Qiu Yi Meng quickly followed up, “Everyone always values their own life the most Xiao Man, don’t pay him any mind!”
Her voice didn’t contain any fluctuations, neither sadness nor disappointment, just coldness.
“Facing death, it seems those from the Bai Family can only become cowards!” Luo Xiao Man sneered.
“Hmph, say what you’d like.” Bai Yun Feng snapped back, not showing the slightest remorse. He had already completely offended these two women now so even if they managed to escape from this place, although they wouldn’t immediately become enemies, he would never associate with them again.
Yang Kai and Shan Qing Luo on the other hand were silently watching each other.
After a long time, Yang Kai wrinkled his brow, “If you wanted to leave, you could have just gone now, and that Spider Mother doesn’t seem to have any intention to retain you.”
Shan Qing Luo slowly shook her head, “But if I left just now, you wouldn’t be able to leave with me.”
Yang Kai’s expression suddenly cramped before it became serious, and he hesitated for a while before continuing, “Our friendship doesn’t seem to be close enough for you to care so much about me, just like Qiu Yi Meng said, people always care most about themselves.”
Shan Qing Luo however just smiled back at him.
“You’re not serious about all this, are you?” Yang Kai’s brown slightly wrinkled.
“I told you before, a woman who possesses the Poison Widow Body will only ever love a single man for her whole life, when have I ever not been serious towards you?” Shan Qing Luo sighed faintly, “If it weren’t for you barging into my Knowledge Sea earlier I really would be too lazy to care about your life or death. Little bastard, you’re so shameless and lustful, I really should kill you so you don’t taint all the innocent girls you’ll meet from now on, but with things progressing as far as they have, I really don’t have any other choice anymore.”
Shan Qing Luo really couldn’t bear to watch him die, that is, unless she could accept her Secret Art never reaching the grand accomplishment stage! Since this feeling of love had taken root in her heart, it growing into an all-consuming impulse was just a matter of time.
Once her emotions reached a peak, she would need to spend her first night with her beloved man.
Moreover, a Poison Widow Body woman, once in love, would be far more sentimental and devoted than an average woman.
This made this family of women bearing a truly tragic existence.
On the one hand, there was the death of her one love, while on the other there was the grand accomplishment stage of their Secret Art.
Even if they abandoned cultivating their Secret Art in favor of saving their love, it would not stop the attraction and temptation from consuming them.
Han Fei Yan, Shan Qing Luo’s mother, experienced such a situation, where she one night lost control of herself and slept with her husband, only to wake the following morning from this drunken stupor to discover what had happened, spending the rest of her life in pain and regret.
Yang Kai’s face became extremely solemn, deeply staring into Shan Qing Luo’s eyes, seemingly wanting to see into the depths of her heart, hoping to read her true thoughts.
Shan Qing Luo simply smiled and without hesitating took the initiative to unlock her Knowledge Sea’s defense, whispering softly, “If you don’t believe me, see for yourself!”
Yang Kai, though surprised, didn’t hesitate, plunging his Divine Sense directly into her Knowledge Sea.
Inside, he once again witnessed the sight of an endless ocean.
Above this vast sea, an image of Shan Qing Luo sat softly upon the wind, gazing towards Yang Kai’s Divine Sense, gently saying, “Do not touch my image, it represents my Soul. If you do, the consequences will be disastrous.”
“I know,” Yang Kai acknowledged softly.
If two Souls were to blend, they would be able to taste sweetness more than a thousand times more potent than if they had intimately embraced one another, but if their wills weren’t stable enough, the only result would be them losing themselves in this feeling, instantly becoming idiots.
Yang Kai, of course, understood this so he paid special attention not to act recklessly.
Shan Qing Luo’s Soul avatar quickly waved its hand, sending a ball of light into Yang Kai’s Divine Sense.
Absorbing all the information contained within this light sphere, Yang Kai gained intimate insight into all the emotional experiences of this devilish woman along with all her thoughts about their relationship without the slightest omission.
He also saw and comprehended the effects her special constitution and Secret Art would eventually have, realizing their future destiny.
As these innumerable scenes flashed before him, it was so vivid that it was like he was living them himself.
After a long time, Yang Kai slowly withdrew from her Knowledge Sea.
As their eyes met once more, Shan Qing Luo smiled happily, “Now do you believe me?”
This time, Yang Kai nodded firmly, never imagining that the Secret Art of this seductive woman had such special effects.
Smiling wryly, Yang Kai couldn’t help asking, “Should I say I am honored or that I have bad luck?”
He had confirmed that her feelings towards him were not an act, but in the end it still resulted in her needing his life.
Shan Qing Luo’s face suddenly became a bit dark, whispering under her breath, “The women in my family do not really want to kill their beloved man, but sooner or later this impulse becomes unbearable, so no matter how far they separate themselves, they will eventually find their way towards him, and whether consciously or unconsciously they will give their innocence to him while at the same time taking his life!”
Although sacrificing one’s life for the woman they loved was a romantic thought, but in the end it that was simply rhetoric, when the time really came, no man would truly be happy about such a fate.
“Have you never thought about solving this issue?”
“Naturally I have thought about it, but I have no idea how to even begin.” Shan Qing Luo slowly shook her head.
“En, let’s not talk about that first.” Yang Kai nodded, a bit forlorn, not discussing the matter any further.
“En.”
“Since you aren’t willing to leave me behind, we’ll just have to find a way to escape from here together.”
“After five days, when the Spider Mother wakes up again I’ll trying to convince her again.”
“If she doesn’t agree?” Yang Kai frowned.
“Then I’ll keep trying until she does.” Shan Qing Luo revealed a pouting expression, her face not showing any sign of worry.
On the other hand, Yang Kai’s eyes flashed, quietly asking, “If you could fully restore your strength, could you escape from here?”
“Naturally.” Shan Qing Luo nodded. “But right now my strength is only equivalent to a True Element Third Stage cultivator and it will take several months for me to fully heal.”
“I may be able to do something about that.” Yang Kai grinned meaningfully; after viewing all of Shan Qing Luo’s deepest thoughts, he now felt much more relaxed around her.
This seductress appeared to be the very definition of debauchery. Her name was world famous. Her methods were legendary, but in reality, before they had encountered each other, she was actually a pure blank slate.
Although she knew an incredible amount about the interactions between men and women, she had actually never had any personally experience in such matters.
“What are you planning to do?” Shan Qing Luo asked curiously.
Yang Kai subtly swiped his hand past his sleeve and extracted a small piece of Myriad Drug Cream, “Swallow this!”
Shan Qing Luo glanced at him suspiciously, not knowing what kind of mysterious compound he was offering her, but she still opened her thin lips.
She softly licked the Myriad Drug Cream with her pink tongue.
“Quickly circulate your healing art to refine it!”
Even without Yang Kai say this, the moment the Myriad Drug Cream touched her lips, Shan Qing Luo’s face showed a clear look of surprise, hurriedly closing her eyes and circulating her Secret Art.
Thought her strength had fallen, the main reason for this was because of the backlash from her Secret Art, so in the end it was simply her suffering from internal injuries.
With the help of this small piece of Myriad Drug Cream, such injuries would be quickly restored.
Even though there was only five days before the Spider Mother would wake up again, using the Myriad Drug Cream Shan Qing Luo would absolutely be fully healed before then.
With nothing else to do, Yang Kai also began silently adjusting his state to its best.
As time passed, the momentum and True Qi fluctuations Shan Qing Luo radiated became stronger and more violent, obviously she was quickly recovering.
Noticing this change, the silent Qiu Yi Meng couldn’t help glancing towards Shan Qing Luo’s cocoon. Her pair of beautiful eyes flashed with a hesitant light, and she struggled with herself about what to do.
Having been trapped here for so many days, her strength had long ago been restored, but with so many Sixth-Order Monster Beasts lurking nearby, even though she could break free from this cocoon, she didn’t dare take such a reckless action.
But Shan Qing Luo’s sudden movement had let her once again see hope of survival.
Just… the conditions she had been given caused Qiu Yi Meng to hesitate.
After all, she was the first young lady of the famous Qiu Family, how could she possibly become the maidservant of some unknown junior? Forget about her exalted status, even Luo Xiao Man possessed a nobler position than this kid. If such an arrangement were to be spread out, what face would the Qiu Family and Purple Fern Valley have left?
On top of all that she would have to endure such a position for a whole year. Over the course of a year, who knows what that shameless little bastard would do.
Three days later.
Shan Qing Luo suddenly opened her enchanting eyes. A glistening light glowed within them, and her soft tender body seemingly contained a terrifying momentum.
“Better?” Yang Kai hurriedly asked.
“En.” Shan Qing Luo nodded delightedly and gazed at Yang Kai with great interest, “You’ve hidden your depths quite well, who knew you still had such an amazing treasure.”
However, after showering him with praise, she quickly reached out and viciously pinched Yang Kai’s chest, fiercely twisting as she ground her teeth, “You had such a good thing all along, how come you didn’t give it to me sooner? You little bastard, you really were still quite wary of me weren’t you?”
Looking embarrassed, Yang Kai could only laugh awkwardly.
If she had not freely shown him her most intimate thoughts earlier, how could Yang Kai have dared help this devilish woman restore her full strength?
“Since you’ve recovered, let’s leave here quickly.” Yang Kai lightly squeezed her delicate hand.
A look of hesitation crossed Shan Qing Luo’s face suddenly, quietly whispering, “Since we’ve come all this way already, I want to take some of the Spider Mother’s venom first, or else after taking you away this time, she will certainly become enraged and no longer allow me to come here.”
“Are you sure you can succeed?”
“Fairly, do you still have control over that spider?”
“En.”
“Good, then let it cause a scene.”
“Good!” Yang Kai nodded firmly, silently issuing new orders to the spider he had taken control of.
A moment later, that Sixth-Order spider suddenly became violent and attacked its companions without any explanation. The other spiders, noticing this disturbance, hurriedly swarmed towards the fight.
Shan Qing Luo lightly waved her hand and directly cut a hole in the cocoon, and vanished without a trace in the next breath. Her soft voice soon drifted into Yang Kai’s ear, “Don’t move from there, and wait for me to come back!”
Yang Kai naturally wasn’t going to move about randomly. Calming his breath, he carefully examined the outside situation.
The spider that he was controlling at the moment was now engaged in a turbulent struggle with its former companions. A Sixth-Order Monster Beast would undoubtedly have already gained a certain amount of sentience, albeit not a lot, but it was at least capable of some simple reasoning.
The attacked spiders didn’t seem to understand why their companion had suddenly gone crazy, just like when it had suddenly killed so many of the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land’s cultivators.
After passively resisting for a moment, the attacked spiders, as if having reached some kind of consensus, no longer held back and treated this violent comrade of theirs as if it had gone insane and couldn’t be saved.
In only a few breaths of time, the Sixth-Order Monster Beast controlled by Yang Kai had met its end.
The gathered spiders then quickly began to disperse again.
“Yang Kai!” Qiu Yi Meng suddenly shouted.
Yang Kai’s face remained indifferent, and he didn’t even bothering to respond.
“Has Elder Sister Shan recovered her strength?” Qiu Yi Meng eagerly asked.
Still he remained silent.
Qiu Yi Meng wryly smiled, “Yang Kai, you’re not such a stingy man right? I admit that I had offended you before, will you not allow me to apologize to you for that?”
“No need, the distinguished Young Lady Qiu’s apology, I’m afraid I can’t afford it.” Yang Kai replied coldly.
Qiu Yi Meng giggled lightly, “Fine fine, I was wrong, I was truly wrong, I should not have brought people to your High Heaven Pavilion to find trouble. In fact, I’m also at a bit of a loss about how I would have taken you, your combat ability is so strong that between us if we really compete I’m not sure who would win. I really can’t believe such a small Sect could train a disciple like you.”
“Don’t bother trying to flatter me, it’s disgusting.”
“Hehe, fine, you and I are both reasonable people so I’ll be direct with you.” Qiu Yi Meng said with a light smile, “After Elder Sister Shan comes back, can you please ask her to bring Xiao Man and I out with you? Rest assured, as long as she promises to help us, my Qiu Family will spare no expense to repay her!”
“Saving you is up to her, it’s not something I can interfere with,” Yang Kai said bluntly, his brow slightly wrinkled.
“No no no, I see that the relationship between you and the Beguiling Demon Queen is quite intimate, quite unlike how she must treat other men. If you put in a few words with her, I’m sure Elder Sister Shan will be more inclined to help us.” Qiu Yi Meng’s voice suddenly became more restrained, “As long as you don’t insist on Xiao Man and I becoming your servants, any other conditions you mention we can comply with! Even if you want to marry a young lady of my Qiu Family, I can make sure that my Lord Father agrees… oh, but be careful not to mention such things in front of Elder Sister Shan or else I’m afraid she might become jealous.”
Yang Kai’s patience increasingly grew thin as his face twisted with antipathy, “I’ve already said, her saving you is up to her, it has nothing to do with me, what meaning do you have to spout such nonsense towards me?”
Qiu Yi Meng’s face quickly became miserable, like she was about to cry, “But I can only pin my hopes on you, if you don’t speak up for us, I’m afraid we really have no hope of escaping this crisis.” As she was speaking, the sound of her voice choked up, stuttering slightly, “Do you… do you really have the heart to just leave us to die?”
Knowing that she was simply putting on an act to try to gain his sympathy, Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling repulsed, and he was no longer willing to even respond to her.
Yang Kai had a particularly bad impression towards this scheming woman.
“Yang Kai, Yang Kai …” Qiu Yi Meng did not become discouraged though and continued to call out softly to him again and again.
The conversation between the two of them was quite quiet, but Luo Xiao Man who was not far away naturally heard it clearly.
Seeing Yang Kai act so ruthlessly, Luo Xiao Man couldn’t help but to despair, and her face gradually became deathly pale. She sobbed in a panic before she quietly called out, “Elder Sister Qiu, what should we do?
Qiu Yi Meng faintly sighed and gave up on her efforts to convince Yang Kai, wearing a desolate smile, “Just wait, we can’t simply die here.”
At that moment, a breath of incense suddenly flew over as a red clothed figure suddenly appeared in front of Yang Kai. With a wave of her fingers, the remaining silk threads binding Yang Kai were instantly severed
“Go!” Shan Qing Luo said hastily, one hand grabbing Yang Kai as she lightly kicked the ground, quickly flying up.
Yang Kai’s expression also became dignified as he quickly kept up with her. His Divine Sense which was constantly monitoring the surroundings had already noticed that the Spider Mother’s unique overwhelming blood force was rapidly reviving. Apparently Shan Qing Luo’s movements just now had awakened it.
“Elder Sister Shan.” Qiu Yi Meng shouted in a hurried voice and ground her teeth, still showing a slight hesitation on her face.
But she knew that this was no time to be concerned with her pride, if Shan Qing Luo left, she and Luo Xiao Man would really have no chance of escaping from here alive.
“Elder Sister Shan, I agree to your previous conditions, please take me and Xiao Man away with you!” Qiu Yi Meng cried out.
Shan Qing Luo slightly frowned as she glanced towards her. Flicking her wrist, two pink ribbons shot out and wrapped up Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man and quickly dragged them up with her.
Seeing Shan Qing Luo not abandon them in the end, whether it was Qiu Yi Meng or Luo Xiao Man they were both suddenly filled with a desperate joy.
“Betraying your own blood, not heeding the advice of your elders, don’t even dream of escaping!” The Spider Mother’s infuriated voice rang out, no longer containing the slightest bit of charm and instead sounded more akin to an enraged woman.
As she spoke, two thick white silk threads pierced through the air.
These two silk threads were ridiculously fast, and almost instantaneously arrived in front of Shan Qing Luo and Yang Kai and forced them to hastily guard themselves.
As the Yuan Qi from their attacks collided and exploded, the two spider threads were blocked, but the force from the impact cut off one of the ribbons Shan Qing Luo was holding, sending Luo Xiao Man plummeting back down towards the ground.
Letting out a piercing wail, Luo Xiao Man’s watery eyes filled with panic as her heart all but stopped.
Seeing this, Yang Kai reacted instantaneously by push-kicking Qiu Yi Meng’s waist, sending her towards Luo Xiao Man.
Before the pair had even reached the ground, Qiu Yi Meng managed to stretch out her hand and grasp Luo Xiao Man’s clothes, pulling her towards herself.
“Elder Sister Qiu…” Luo Xiao Man cried out in amazement as large round tears poured out of her eyes. Her lofty peaks rose and fell as she gasped for breath. Her face was still filled with terror.
“I’ve got you, don’t worry, I won’t let go of.” Qiu Yi Meng smiled towards her, trying to disperse the lingering fear still apparent on her face.
Shan Qing Luo quickly glanced towards Yang Kai meaningfully, her mouth showing a teasing yet soul-stirring smile.
Yang Kai simply shrugged his shoulders.
Just now, his kick had been made subconsciously, it was a purely instinctive reaction!
Suddenly, from down below, Bai Yun Feng’s raving voice rang out, “Bring me with you! You damn sluts… how could you just abandon me here? Even if I become a ghost I won’t let you off!”
Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man’s faces filled with disgust as they remained cold and indifferent.
Only by journeying together with someone through ups and downs would you be able to know them. Bai Yun Feng used to give them a favourable impression. Although they wouldn’t rate him highly, whatever the case, he had behaved appropriately for the eldest son of a first-class family. Be it his background or personal power, his capital was not small; needless to say there was no shortage of young women who sought after him.
However, when they had fallen into this crisis, he had completely exposed the darkness hidden within his heart.
As a man, he was no better than dog shit! Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man didn’t have the slightest bit of sympathy towards him.
Next to a quaint, calm, crystal clear lake, filled with floating plants and happily swimming fish, three people sat.
In front of a bonfire he had made, Yang Kai roasted some fatty fish he had caught.
Luo Xiao Man and Qiu Yi Meng sat opposite him, breathing in the crisp clean air while glancing towards this young man awkwardly.
As a splashing sound drift over from the lake, Shan Qing Luo’s gracefully figure suddenly emerged. After finishing her bath, her exquisite snow white skin seemed to glisten with an attractive luster, this hint of blush only added to her radiance. Her delicate pair of bare jade like feet lightly flashed in and out of view.
Exuding ten thousand different types of charm, her thin and tender red lips displayed a carefree smile. Her skin was nearly fully exposed, and only her bountiful peaks and the sacred valley below her waist were covered, making for an alluring display.
Seeing such an fascinating, flirtatious picture, not only did Yang Kai’s heart race, even Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man’s faces blushed a bright shade of red. All of their breaths became slightly hurried.
Immediately, the three of them quickly turned aside their gazes and silently cursed this bewitching fairy in their hearts!
“Hehehe…” Shan Qing Luo giggled happily as she observed the reaction of these three.
Arriving at the edge of the lake, she draped her clothes haphazardly over her lithe body, only half covering herself before gracefully stepping forward and quickly arriving beside Yang Kai and sitting herself down and snuggling up next to him.
“Can’t you behave yourself a little?” Yang Kai asked helplessly.
“Is there a need for us to be discreet?” Shan Qing Luo smiled brilliantly, “We’ve already touched each other intimately and shared more than one kiss, why do we suddenly need to act all prim and proper?”
Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man couldn’t help looking shocked and gazed towards Yang Kai in surprise. Their eyes were filled with a confused light.
Although Qiu Yi Meng had felt that the relationship between Yang Kai and Shan Qing Luo was not simple, ultimately she had never seen the two interact with her own eyes and couldn’t tell just how close they really were.
However, seeing them sit so close to one another, if they were not essentially lovers, what woman would behave so shamelessly?
[Could the world’s most charming woman actually be in love with him?] Qiu Yi Meng pondered as she gazed absentmindedly and swept her eyes over Yang Kai once more. Although he gave off an uninhibited aura, and his strength wasn’t bad, in the end, he was still only a youth at the True Element Boundary Fourth Stage.
Just how in the world did he managed to capture the world famous Beguiling Demon Queen’s heart?
Qiu Yi Meng continued staring at them for a long time before she managed to pull herself together.
Yang Kai on the other hand turned a blind eye to her and pretended he didn’t notice the puzzled stares he was receiving. Instead, he just intently grilling his fish.
As the delicate aroma of fresh cooked food wafted about, Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man couldn’t stop their stomachs from crying out softly, and both of them immediately became crimson faced after.
The two of them had been chased relentlessly by the cultivators of the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land for more than a month, and they never had a moment of rest and were constantly suppressing their feelings of fatigue and hunger. After that, when they had reached the height of their exhaustion, they had been captured by those spiders, and it wasn’t until now that they could truly relax.
“Thank you for saving us, Elder Sister Shan.” Qiu Yi Meng suddenly said, doing her best to squeeze out a smile.
Shan Qing Luo simply smiled back frivolously, “It was simply a deal between you and me, there’s no need for thanks!”
“Be that as it may, if it weren’t for Elder Sister Shan, Xiao Man and I would not have been able to escape that crisis.” Qiu Yi Meng shook her head gently.
As she finished speaking, she once again glanced towards Yang Kai awkwardly, reluctantly saying, “Thank you, too!”
Qiu Yi Meng knew that if he hadn’t swiftly helped her back then, there was no way she could have rescued Luo Xiao Man.
However, Yang Kai remained indifferent and completely ignored her.
Qiu Yi Meng couldn’t help suddenly feeling a bit bitter.
