The disciples of Kunxu Palace stared at each other with wide eyes, revealing their confusion.
"Senior brother, senior sister dragged a strange man into the small forest. What are they trying to do?"
"Senior brother, do you know that fellow cultivator?"
"Senior sister held his hand, seemingly impatient. Why do I feel a little heartache?"
At this mont, Hao Tianhua was utterly baffled. Could he say that he didn’t understand what his junior sister was planning either?
It felt inexplicable.
But there was an odd feeling, like sothing important was slipping away from him.
He gazed into the distance. The two figures had already disappeared from sight, and then — as if realizing sothing — he spoke.
"What are you all thinking? Your senior sister ran into an old acquaintance and just wanted to chat. Pull yourselves together and stay alert to the surroundings! The number of demons on Kunyu Mountain has increased. There might be unexpected changes. Be cautious, all of you."
He could only say this for now; otherwise, he wouldn’t know what else to say.
In the dense little forest, all was quiet and still, save for the occasional bird calls, as if anticipating sothing.
Lin Fan was extrely nervous.
He had never experienced anything like this before. Soone else being so forward made him utterly unsure of how to react. It was too bold. His little heart was thudding intensely.
"You used to say that humble request of yours. Now that you’re alive, I’ll fulfill it. Go ahead."
Cheng Lingsu feigned calm as she spoke, but her heartbeat was faster than anyone else’s. Her snow-white face had a faint blush, and her long eyelashes trembled, as though she had made a monuntal decision.
Lin Fan didn’t respond, rely sizing her up and struggling with where to place his hands. He kept reminding himself that he wasn’t this kind of person; it was all unnecessary. Those past remarks were just jokes. Thinking it over, he decided to clear things up instead.
"Are you a C to D cup?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he wanted to slap his own face in anger.
Dammit, what kind of nonsense was he thinking about? How could he actually say such things aloud? Didn’t he have any principles? He wasn’t this kind of person!
"What?" Cheng Lingsu looked puzzled, not understanding what he ant, as she had never heard of such a thing.
"It’s nothing."
Lin Fan wasn’t about to explain these things to her. He wasn’t that kind of person, really. Before transmigrating here, he had even initiated an online poll.
The conclusion was clear...
C-cups were the most attractive.
The way Lin Fan looked at her seed almost penetrating. If this were so sort of sci-fi scenario, various data might appear in his eyes right now.
The five impeccable golden ratios.
"Still not done yet?"
Cheng Lingsu had mustered a great deal of courage to allow Lin Fan to be this forward. But with him hesitating, her inner resolve was beginning to crumble.
Lin Fan sighed inwardly. Such a lovely girl. He absolutely couldn’t hurt her. Otherwise, heaven would surely strike him down with lightning. Slowly, he said:
"Both hands, perhaps?"
Smack!
Lin Fan genuinely wanted to slap himself right then.
What an idiot.
Did he even realize what he was saying? He ant to say, "You don’t have to do this. You’re a girl, and I can’t tarnish your purity."
But instead...
He actually made a request.
Both hands?
One hand?
If he kept this up, he might as well chop off his hands entirely for being so shaless.
Cheng Lingsu’s face reddened further, her words stumbling.
"Whatever... whatever you want."
In that mont.
He was sowhat srized by her. Why was she so willing to indulge his behavior?
Lin Fan felt utterly helpless.
He should walk up to her, pat her on the head, and gently tell her, "You don’t need to do this. I’m not like that. Everything I’ve said to you before was just flirtatious banter. You know my true intentions. Do you believe I would actually do such a thing?"
And besides, I might not even be able to bring you happiness.
If you let take advantage now, how will things ever be alright later?
"Could I... without the clothes?"
Smack!
As soon as those words escaped his lips.
Lin Fan hit himself again in fury. Damn... he actually said it. Could he be any more shaless? He, Lin Fan, aspired to beco the pinnacle powerhouse. How could he harbor such dirty thoughts?
Now he was pushing his luck even further.
Appreciating the mont was already enough, yet he had the audacity to make such an excessive request — and without clothes? Could he be any more disgraceful? Was there not an ounce of dignity left?
Seeing Cheng Lingsu’s stunned expression, Lin Fan chastised himself and said, "Don’t be nervous. I feel embarrassed about my earlier words... making such unreasonable requests. Even if they are humble, you shouldn’t agree to them."
Then he walked to a slope nearby, sat on the grass with his back to Cheng Lingsu, and declared that she should just leave. That so-called humble request of his was indeed excessive and didn’t need to be taken to heart.
But when the words reached his mouth...
"I’ll sit right here. You know my so-called humble request is a bit much. If you want to leave, just leave. But if you agree, I’d like you to sit in my arms, with your back against my chest, and let my heartbeat resonate with yours as we gaze at the beautiful scenery."
What "beautiful scenery"?
The place was already corrupted by demonic aura.
Forget beauty; the sight itself was rather unnerving.
Not long after.
A slender silhouette approached Lin Fan. She then gently sat in his arms, and the two of them began staring at the ancient, pitch-black trees and the demonic aura wafting through the air.
What a lovely view.
Lin Fan’s warm, nimble hands began to move slowly...
Ah!
Just as he envisioned.
Perfect.
"The scenery in the distance is so beautiful."
"I can feel your heartbeat, but it’s a bit chilly. Let warm you up."
"Can you feel the warmth being passed through my tender hands?"
"Don’t think any stray thoughts. Stray thoughts will ruin the idyllic atmosphere of this mont."
...
Hao Tianhua was still waiting. It had already been a while.
What exactly was his junior sister discussing with Fellow Daoist Lin? Why had they not returned?
Could it be...
His thoughts started to stray...
Bah!
No way. How could he entertain such ideas?
In broad daylight, how could such things happen?
"Senior brother, are you alright?"
A disciple noticed his senior brother zoning out, as though deep in thought. He was a bit concerned — was there sothing wrong?
Perhaps so danger?
Hao Tianhua snapped out of it and, pretending to be serious, replied, "Nothing. Just keep watch. Stay focused and don’t let your guard down. You know the situation on Kunyu Mountain. As mbers of an Immortal Dao Sect, we must defend this region and prevent the invasion of demons to protect the world."
He spoke with an air of seriousness.
But his heart was restless.
Why hadn’t his junior sister returned?
Left alone with Lin Fan, if sothing happened in the wilderness... what would he do?
Soon after.
Two figures slowly erged from the distance.
Hao Tianhua looked up and saw his junior sister trailing Lin Fan, keeping a bit of a distance. It was hard to make out clearly, but when they approached, he noticed his junior sister’s flushed face. Although she tried her best to appear calm, it couldn’t escape his perceptive gaze.
Hmm!
Her clothing seed noticeably crumpled.
It looked as if it had been pulled up from below and then smoothed down, leaving visible creases that didn’t seem right.
An unsettling thought crossed Hao Tianhua’s mind.
He scrutinized Lin Fan.
Radiant with energy, his spirit refreshed — far livelier than when he had seen him earlier.
Sothing definitely happened.
There was no other explanation.
"You two..."
Hao Tianhua hesitated, torn. He wanted to ask what had happened in the forest. If they didn’t mind, he’d like to hear about it.
"Hao Daoist, why are all of you here at Kunyu Mountain? Has sothing happened here?"
Lin Fan didn’t give Hao Tianhua the chance and asked instead.
It had been a long ti since he’d co to Kunyu Mountain.
He wasn’t yet aware of what might be going on.
"Demons on Kunyu Mountain used to be far less nurous. Just from the scent, you can detect how strong the demonic aura is."
He speculated that perhaps the myriad-demons Demon King of the graveyard was stirring up trouble.
The Void-Realm Demon King dared not leave the graveyard.
If he did, he’d be imdiately subdued by powerful cultivators.
Hao Tianhua responded, "Fellow Daoist Lin, to be honest, the Demon Path has already been activated. Kunyu Mountain’s graveyard serves as their first point of entry. The myriad-demons Demon King inside the graveyard is manipulating a big array, opening pathways. Throughout Kunyu Mountain, entry points might open in various places, allowing the demons to erge."
"Things are still manageable for now, but who knows how long that will last."
He shared this information with a sense of helplessness.
Demons and the Demon Clan weren’t the sa thing, but they ca from the sa origin and were essentially part of the sa race.
Demon Clan cultivators, upon reaching the Innate Realm and entering the Immortal Path, chose to refine themselves in human form.
But demons retained their demon bodies, with temperants fiercer than the Demon Clan, sotis devouring creatures raw. At least for the Demon Clan, there was so effort to cook — demons didn’t bother and just consud directly, leaving people scared.
"Why would the demons use Kunyu Mountain as a pathway? Is there so hidden secret in this place?" Lin Fan asked.
Hao Tianhua shook his head and replied, "I don’t know. As of now, our elders at Kunxu Palace are still investigating. Hints have erged, but the full picture remains unclear."
"Fellow Daoist Lin, this area of demons has just been cleared. Would you like to join us at our base for a bit of rest?"
Lin Fan pondered briefly and nodded in agreent. There might be aningful gains here.
Then, he glanced at the girl beside him.
A good girl.
But Cheng Lingsu’s expression was blank. Although she had been bashful earlier, she now seed indifferent.
What the heck?
