203: Chapter 203: The Palace Master Has Arrived
Dan Peak, Xiao Yuan's Immortal Cave.
In the inner chamber, Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou leaned against Xiao Yuan's sides, their complexions rosy and their breaths long and steady.
Xiao Yuan lay in the middle, with Junior Martial Uncle Leng's gentle and water-like demeanor on his left, and Junior Martial Uncle Lin's bright and unbridled charm on his right, feeling immensely blissful inside.
"Junior Martial Uncle," he said softly, bowing his head to Leng Youyue's ear, "your cultivation base has improved once again."
Leng Youyue gave him a sideways glance, her look a mix of reproach and seduction: "Isn't that all thanks to you."
Lin Zhirou leaned over from the other side, her fingers tracing circles on his chest: "Junior Nephew Xiao, how do you plan to thank us?"
Just as Xiao Yuan was about to open his mouth, the Restriction outside the Immortal Cave was suddenly triggered.
"Dong—dong—dong—"
Three strikes, unhurried and steady, yet carrying an unyielding determination.
Xiao Yuan was taken aback. As his Divine Sense probed outward, he was completely dumbfounded.
At the entrance of the Immortal Cave, a light purple figure stood quietly.
Her hair was tied up high, revealing an exquisitely peerless face. Her brows and eyes were like a painting, and her temperament was noble and otherworldly; clearly she looked to be only in her early twenties, yet she naturally exuded the majesty of someone who had long held a superior position.
The Palace Revered Master of Jade Maiden Palace, Palace Master Mengying.
Although Xiao Yuan had never met this Palace Revered Master before, the statues of past Palace Revered Masters were all erected right in front of the main hall of Jade Maiden Palace!
Therefore, as long as one was a Disciple of Jade Maiden Palace, even those who had never seen the Palace Revered Master would recognize her!
As for her cultivation base, it was rumored to be at the Golden Core Peak, and she was the Personal Disciple of Old Ancestor Qinghe, stuck at the Bottleneck for many years.
At this moment, she stood there with a straight back and a cold expression, revealing no particular emotion.
But deep within those clear eyes, a trace of imperceptible resistance was hidden.
Xiao Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Why had this person come as well?
However, if he guessed correctly, she was likely also sent over by Old Ancestor Qinghe. But judging by her appearance, she was clearly quite reluctant.
Xiao Yuan had clearly perceived the resistance in the depths of her eyes using his Divine Sense!
Leng Youyue also extended her Divine Sense, her expression changing slightly. Lin Zhirou sat up directly, her brows tightly knitted: "The Palace Revered Master?"
Xiao Yuan hurriedly got up to tidy his clothes. Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou also hastily put on their clothes, their faces bearing displeasure at having their good times interrupted, but even more so, astonishment.
"I'll go open the door." Xiao Yuan braced himself and walked toward the entrance.
The Immortal Cave door opened, and Palace Master Mengying stood outside, looking at him with a calm gaze.
"Junior Nephew Xiao." Her voice was cold and clear, like a mountain spring, carrying a trace of detachment.
Xiao Yuan hurriedly saluted: "Welcome, Palace Revered Master, to this humble abode. This Disciple failed to greet you from afar."
Palace Master Mengying nodded slightly and stepped into the Immortal Cave.
Her gaze swept across the Immortal Cave, and when she saw Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou, a flash of realization crossed her eyes, but it quickly vanished.
"Elder Leng, Elder Lin." She greeted them calmly.
Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Palace Revered Master."
Palace Master Mengying sat down in the main seat, her posture elegant, and every gesture naturally carrying a noble temperament.
She looked at Xiao Yuan, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke: "Revered Master told me to come."
Xiao Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Just as he had guessed!
"This Disciple understands." He nodded, not daring to say too much.
Palace Master Mengying looked at him, a trace of complex emotion flashing through her eyes. She took a deep breath, her voice dropping a fraction: "Is the Cultivation Technique... ready?"
Xiao Yuan hurriedly pulled a Jade Slip from his bosom and offered it with both hands: "Palace Revered Master, this is the Cultivation Technique. You may take a look first."
Since the other party didn't say much, Xiao Yuan naturally wouldn't say much either; however, a wave of anticipation welled up in his heart.
The Palace Revered Master of Jade Maiden Palace, haha... If he could do *that* with her... Even if it couldn't activate his Bloodline, it... would still be enough to make him want to instantly transform into a wolf.
Not to mention her status, just the temperament she displayed right now made Xiao Yuan feel a desire to conquer!
Palace Master Mengying was not one to fidget; she took the Jade Slip and extended her Divine Sense into it.
A moment later, she withdrew her Divine Sense, her face flushing slightly before quickly returning to normal. She stood up and said calmly: "I will return first. I shall come again another day."
Finished speaking, she turned and left with steady steps, but no matter how one looked at it, her back view resembled someone fleeing in panic.
Xiao Yuan watched her leave, sighing inwardly. What the hell kind of situation was this? He... was already prepared; don't run away...
But thinking about how proud and arrogant this Palace Revered Master was, asking her to submit to a boy in the Foundation Establishment Stage truly made things difficult for her.
Although she had looked like a martyr just moments ago, it was not surprising that she would shrink back when the matter actually arrived. Of course, the main reason was likely because Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou were standing right beside them.
However, Xiao Yuan was not in a rush; he believed that the other party would sooner or later come back!
Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou exchanged glances, their faces complex and helpless.
This brat... truly had wonderful luck with women; now even the Palace Revered Master was about to become his captive beneath him.
Moreover, it was Old Ancestor Qinghe's idea. They even thought with a hint of mischievous dark humor: in the end, would all the female cultivators of Jade Maiden Palace be ruined by their own Junior Nephew?!
Could even the two Old Ancestors, Qinghe and Qinglian, not escape unscathed?! It was simply... that fatal attraction on Xiao Yuan's body!
Outside the Immortal Cave, just as Palace Master Mengying walked out, she came face-to-face with five figures.
Peak Master Shen Jingqiu, Peak Master Mu Xuelan, Peak Master Tang Huor, Peak Master Bai Suxin, and Peak Master Gu Hanshuang, the five Peak Revered Masters stood in a row not far away.
Palace Master Mengying paused in her steps, nodded slightly toward them, and without saying much, left directly.
The five Peak Revered Masters watched her walk away, looking at each other in dismay.
"The Palace Revered Master really came, and... why did she... leave?" Peak Master Tang Huor whispered.
Peak Master Shen Jingqiu wore a peculiar look on her face: "Didn't you see the Palace Revered Master's blushing face? She's just thin-skinned! Also, it's probably because Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou are also inside!"
Before they left, Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou had gone to find Xiao Yuan. Calculating the time, they should still be doing *that* inside!
Peak Master Mu Xuelan felt a wave of awkwardness, her face also blushing: "Then what about us..."
There were still two people inside Xiao Yuan's Immortal Cave; if they barged in like this, it would feel a bit shameful. For a moment, they felt too embarrassed to go look for Xiao Yuan again.
Didn't they see that even the Palace Revered Master was too embarrassed and left directly?
"Wait," Peak Master Shen Jingqiu said calmly. "Let's wait until they come out before we go in."
She was also a bit embarrassed to go in. After all, she had previously told Leng Youyue and the others that Xiao Yuan lusted after their bodies. If she went in now, goodness knows how those two women would mock her!
Hearing this, the remaining four women also thought of this. Although their faces were awkward, they nodded.
The five women found an open space outside the Immortal Cave, sat down cross-legged, and waited silently.
Peak Master Tang Huor had an impatient personality and couldn't sit still after a short while, standing up and pacing back and forth.
Peak Master Bai Suxin lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously drawing circles on the ground.
Peak Master Gu Hanshuang closed her eyes to rest her mind, expressionless.
Peak Master Mu Xuelan looked at the mountain scenery in the distance, wondering what she was thinking.
Peak Master Shen Jingqiu sat upright like a pine tree, her gaze calm, but her fingers gripping the sword hilt turned slightly pale.
Time ticked away bit by bit.
Inside the Immortal Cave, Xiao Yuan had just seen Palace Master Mengying off and hadn't even caught his breath when a sweep of his Divine Sense revealed that the five Peak Revered Masters were sitting outside.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
What kind of day was today? Was there a market fair going on?
