Mists veiled the mountain peak.
Atop it, a fierce and terrifying Blood Jade Spider perched, its body shining with a sinister red glow.
In its pupils, there reflected a spirit pool, clear as a mirror, and a white-robed maiden sitting by its side, her hands wrapped around her knees.
The girl had delicate features and an ethereal temperant, her black hair cascading loosely down her back, staring into the spirit pool at her own reflection, lost in tranquility.
After a long while, the girl ca back to herself with a slight sigh.
With her hands, she gently stirred the water, causing ripples to dance across the calm surface of the pool.
Then, the maiden slipped off her embroidered shoes and stockings, revealing a pair of delicate, round feet, white as uncarved jade.
As her toes gently touched the water, the instant they t the surface, they playfully curled, casting tiny ripples.
The sparkling water flowed, enveloping the girl’s fair and lustrous feet, covering her delicate and exquisite ankles, bringing a look of contentnt to her face.
Suddenly, the girl playfully wiggled her feet in the water, causing droplets to sprinkle out like round, glistening beads.
Under the sunlight, her snow-white feet in the shimring pool water looked like treasures agleam, crystal clear.
“Xiao Chan.”
At that mont, not far away, a devastatingly beautiful woman with a seductive face, previously sitting with closed eyes, opened her eyes and stood up, calling out softly to the girl.
She wore a gorgeous purple dress that draped over a figure sinuously seductive, with curves that were nothing short of stunning.
Proud and supre, her bosom was difficult to contain, and her waist was slender and willowy, barely a handful when grasped.
Beneath that slender waist, the lines shifted dramatically, showcasing her round and voluptuous rear, explosively seductive.
Though the woman bore a seductive allure throughout her being, her eyes held a commanding presence that was intimidating.
She emitted an icy, overbearing elegance, a regal authority that made others feel shad before her.
“Master?”
ng Xiaochan, hearing her master’s voice, turned her head to look at Nangong Mili.
Seeing her master’s proud bearing, she couldn’t help but feel a tinge of envy.
“Xiao Chan, it’s ti to go,” Nangong Mili released a breath, gazing towards the horizon, she spoke.
Her slender phoenix eyes glimred with an entrancing magic.
“Master, have you recovered?” ng Xiaochan pressed her lips together and inquired with concern upon hearing this.
“I have recovered around seventy to eighty percent. Staying here for a full recovery would take too much ti…” Nangong Mili took a deep breath, her chest rising proudly as she spoke softly.
In her voice, her palm unconsciously stroked her flat belly.
She knew that if she continued to recuperate, the child within her would eventually affect her strength.
Should danger arise, it would be exceedingly troubleso.
Moreover, she was acutely aware that the Lockheart Gu was subtly influencing her.
Thus, she needed to return to the Five Poisons Cult in Jin Kingdom at the earliest.
Only back at the cult could she give birth to the child in peace.
Only then would she have the conditions to give her child an advantage even in the womb.
Additionally, the Five Poisons Cult’s unique gu insect—the Phoenix Gu—possessed the effect of “rebirth from ashes, washing away all blemishes.”
It had the power to counter the effects of the Lockheart Gu.
Thinking of how under the influence of the Lockheart Gu, she developed feelings for Lu Changsheng in spite of all his deaning treatnt and trampling, Nangong Mili couldn’t help but feel a surge of sha, anger, and murderous intent, wishing to flay and dismber Lu Changsheng. 𝐑ＡＮ𝐎𝔟Ês̩
Even if Nangong Mili were to fall in love with soone, it would never be in such a manner!
“That dog of a man must possess a certain peerless Taoist body,” she mused.
“Otherwise, with his re Foundation Establishnt Cultivation, he definitely shouldn’t have such ability…”
Nangong Mili’s beautiful eyes narrowed, emitting a chilling clarity, as she recalled how Lu Changsheng healed her with the Yin Yang Energies.
Her True Elixir, nourished by Lu Changsheng, had begun to manifest a trace of the Golden Core Charm.
She resolved that once she had fully recovered and dealt with the Lockheart Gu, she would capture that dog of a man, Lu Changsheng, and bring him back to the Five Poisons Cult.
To humiliate him in every possible way, compelling him to nourish her Golden Core!
Not only would this be her revenge, but it would also elevate her True Elixir to the Immortal Golden Core!
But as she thought about the process of nurturing the Golden Core, she recalled those tis she wished to forget, and resentnt tinged her slender phoenix eyes, her heart fluttering with indefinable agitation and her emotions churning.
“Huff!”
Nangong Mili steadied her tumultuous emotions.
Looking at the Misty Sky Bead within her, her lovely lips pursed slightly, and her body surged with a glow.
She transford into a charming and graceful lady.
But the seductive and bewitching temperant that pervaded her vanished without trace.
“Let’s go,” she said to her disciple ng Xiaochan in a soft voice.
Though she knew that her affliction with the Lockheart Gu was related to ng Xiaochan, she understood that ng Xiaochan was even more deeply affected by the gu.
Her actions were understandable under those circumstances.
Moreover, the fact that ng Xiaochan managed to confess about the Lockheart Gu to her master indicated that her feelings for her master were not weaker than the gu’s effects.
In such a situation, she naturally wouldn’t bla ng Xiaochan too harshly.
“Yes, Master,” ng Xiaochan, seeing her own master’s transformation, promptly gathered up the Formation.
Then, she touched the purple bracelet on her wrist, causing her appearance and temperant to change.
Soon after, the two of them rode a Cloud Veil, turned into a streak of light, and vanished from the mountaintop.
…
Ti flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
During this ti, Lu Changsheng had his concubines bear his children and then began his seclusion to cultivate and forge the Ninety-Nine Mysterious True Strategy.
This artifact was exceedingly complex, even more so than the ‘Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp,’ which was his Life-bound Magic Treasure.
