Chapter 487: Actually Throwing a Tantrum?
"Chen Huaian, who was that person earlier?" Hua Jin the True One approached with Wang Shouyi, her cheeks still flushed with lingering color.
Chen Huaian glanced between Hua Jin and the pale-lipped Wang Shouyi, secretly amused. Impressive - even Hua Jin had finally indulged after who knows how many millennia of pent-up frustration. Though Wang Shouyi's cultivation level couldn't quite keep up, getting battered by wave after wave of her passion. But no doubt Hua Jin would quickly elevate Wang Shouyi's cultivation for... sustainable developnt.
"Answering Your Eminence," Chen Huaian struggled to rise and bow. "This disciple doesn't recognize that sword cultivator, but he ntioned grudges against Buddhism and coming from either Sword Pavilion or Sword Gate... so all-sword-cultivator sect anyway. Said he was Sword Pavilion's Supre Elder."
"Sword Pavilion?!" Hua Jin's eyes narrowed sharply.
She imdiately recalled those mysterious cultivators who'd repeatedly thwarted her plans. But the intruder had already left, and in her current weakened state with nearly depleted true essence, tracking him was impossible. She had no choice but to let it go.
"Then what about these injuries?" She stared at the bloodstains on Chen Huaian's chest.
This topic ignited Chen Huaian's anger. His lips puckered dramatically as he wailed: "Your Eminence, you must avenge ! That bald donkey from Great Thunder Temple went completely mad!
His premium Celestial Jade Marrow got stolen, his relics were destroyed, his target escaped, and with nowhere to vent his rage he tried killing instead! I'm a Kunlun Immortal Palace elder with no quarrel against him - this shows utter contempt for our sect!"
"Oh, so Monk Faming beat you up." Hua Jin couldn't conceal her delight, scoffing: "Why didn't that old bald donkey finish you off? Would've saved the trouble!"
"Huh?" Chen Huaian feigned confusion. "Your Eminence, this junior doesn't understand."
"Are you truly ignorant or pretending?" Hua Jin's cold smile didn't reach her murderous eyes.
She genuinely wished to kill Chen Huaian then and there. But considering his exceptional alchemical talents and how his pills had enhanced her combat power - likely preventing prolonged conflict with Monk Faming - she restrained herself. Everything she did now served her ascension goals and Kunlun Immortal Palace's developnt. Since Chen Huaian benefited both, she could tolerate him.
"This junior truly doesn't understand!" Chen Huaian shook his head vigorously. "I even presented you with a pill to boost your combat power!" His face radiated grievance.
Hua Jin's lips twitched in bitter amusent.
Of course he'd bring up that damned pill...
Yet Chen Huaian seed genuinely unaware of its side effects. What happened couldn't be undone - minimizing fallout was priority. His ignorance was ideal, and Wang Shouyi had sworn secrecy. As long as she remained silent, no one would know about the... intimate events within the formation.
Moreover, she'd obtained the premium Celestial Jade Marrow.
Her long-stagnant bottleneck showed signs of loosening after breaking abstinence.
Double blessings!
Hua Jin's mood improved considerably... until she noticed the jade marrow was missing.
"Where is my Celestial Jade Marrow?"
Belated realization struck as she whirled on Chen Huaian: "WHAT do you an it was stolen?!"
...
Ten minutes passed before Hua Jin fully comprehended.
The first five were spent in rage-fueled denial before gradual acceptance.
"Moon Shadow Sect! Now Moon Shadow Sect's involved too!"
mories surfaced - during her... passionate entanglent with Wang Shouyi, an old man had entered the formation, picked up the jade marrow beside her, even tapped her shoulder and spoke properly.
And how had she responded?
She'd told him to take the marrow and scram, not to interrupt her activities!
Blushing crimson with sha, Hua Jin wished for death.
She'd practically gifted the treasure away - who could she bla?
Had she retained even slight clarity during the pill's effects...
That old man's cultivation was inferior to hers, yet sohow he'd penetrated the formation.
"Moon Shadow Sect! Sword Pavilion! Unforgivable! Kunlun Immortal Palace declares eternal enmity!"
Sha transford into towering fury, her fists clenched rigid.
"Your Eminence, don't anger yourself sick," Wang Shouyi hurriedly advised.
Hmphing coldly, Hua Jin's temper cooled slightly seeing him, though she still pouted: "What does it matter? No one cares about anyway!"
"Who says?" Wang Shouyi stepped forward earnestly. "This disciple constantly worries for Your Eminence! Please take care - it pains to see you distressed!"
"Enough! You only say this for resources!"
Arms crossed, Hua Jin turned away huffily.
Chen Huaian gaped.
Wait... was she... throwing a tantrum?
At several thousand years old? Acting like so lovestruck maiden?
Disregarding age, the power gap between Void-Shattering and Golden Core made this even more absurd.
A Void-Shattering expert pouting at a Golden Core cultivator... made sense how?
Suddenly realizing he'd missed sothing critical, Chen Huaian accessed the Righteous Cultivator Store.
The Ninefold Spring inventory showed zero, but product details remained viewable.
There - a tiny button he'd overlooked earlier in his haste.
Clicking it revealed:
[After consuming Ninefold Spring, cultivators develop dependency/affection toward first physical contact partner, similar to Lover's Gu. Note: Pre-existing deep hatred may nullify effects.]
Chen Huaian: "......"
Well damn.
Classic Bliss Sect.
Absolute seduction elixir - practically hypnosis!
Pity there was only one. Who knew if Bliss Sect could recreate it...
...
anwhile...
Cangyun Realm.
Western Region, Bliss Sect.
"Great Sage, spare us!"
Sect Leader Wang Dagen knelt before Tu Shan Yue, knees sinking into cold stone, trembling like autumn leaves.
"We didn't steal the high-grade spirit vein! You see - we don't have it..."
The sect lay in ruins, surrounded by demons. The iron-scent of blood saturated air as over half the disciples lay dead, survivors mostly grievously wounded, whimpering in terror. Echoes of slaughter lingered while death's shadow lood over all.
Their survival hinged on their leader's next words.
One wrong phrase and the bloody maws overhead would snap shut.
"Then enlighten - which sect stole our demon race's high-grade spirit vein?"
Tu Shan Yue's silken voice carried lethal undertones.
Her jade foot - exquisitely sculpted with faint pink tips - pressed against Wang Dagen's skull, applying gradual pressure.
Nine snow-white tails fanned behind her like lethal plumage, moonlit tips glinting like blades. Elegant yet deadly.
Though her movents were delicate and her feet fragrant,
Wang Dagen knew his head could pop any second.
"Let think... please let think..."
Beads of sweat rolled down.
With the three holy lands gone, who else possessed such capability?
Recalling recent Cangyun Realm rumors, one na surfaced:
"Moon Shadow Sect."
He blurted.
"Great Sage, it must be Moon Shadow Sect!"
