[Beauty Picture Section, I'll start with one!]

Mahayana Stage, Leng Qingshuang

...This place called Yin-Yang Inversion Mountain sounds mysterious, but in reality, it's just a godforsaken, desolate valley.

Lu Yu was crouched low, clutching the Nine-Turn Soul-Returning Herb he had just dug up. This medicinal herb was very useful for his current Breakthrough.

After returning to his Ancestral Land to pay respects to his annihilated clan, he had found an Opportunity for a Realm Breakthrough on his way back to the Sect. He truly was the destined protagonist!

Just as he was thinking this, the air around him suddenly congealed.

It wasn't an illusion; it had truly solidified!

Like a basin of water instantly freezing into a block of ice, even the wind got stuck mid-flow. Lu Yu's hair stood on end, his body instantly stiffened. Without thinking, he stuffed the herb into his Storage Ring and turned to flee.

But... it was already too late.

A force of heaven and earth he could not comprehend at all brutally grabbed the collar of his clothes at the back of his neck, lifted his entire person up, and then slammed him heavily onto the ground!

Dirt and grass clippings smeared his face as he landed in a dog-eating-dirt posture. Struggling to lift his head, Lu Yu met a pair of eyes.

What incredibly beautiful eyes were these?

What level of beauty must this be... Wait, no!

These eyes are not right!

The woman before him wore a moon-white long dress made of excellent material, but it was now tattered and stained with blood. Her face was truly peerless, more beautiful than a painting of a Fairy, just frighteningly pale.

Those originally aloof eyes were now a chaotic crimson, churning with pain, madness, and a trace of... something Lu Yu couldn't understand, a desire akin to that of a beast.

She stared at Lu Yu, her nostrils flaring slightly as if confirming a scent.

Lu Yu felt his scalp prickle under her gaze. That look wasn't like looking at a person, but more like a starving person seeing a piece of premium, delicious braised pork.

"You..."

Lu Yu had just uttered one word when the woman moved. Her speed was so fast it was impossible to see clearly.

Lu Yu only felt the world spin. His back slammed heavily onto the soft moss—not too painful—but immediately after, a shadow carrying a scorching fragrance and the smell of blood pressed down upon him.

A cold, cracked, jade-like white hand tightly clamped his wrist with such force he suspected his bones would shatter.

"Pure Yang... aura..."

The woman's voice was terribly hoarse, intermittent, as if squeezed out from the depths of her throat, as if she was forcibly suppressing something.

"I'm... sorry..."

Wait, sister, what exactly are you sorry for?

Let go first, we can talk this out!

Lu Yu's mind buzzed. He desperately urged his Golden Core, trying to break free.

But the bit of spiritual power he released surged out and crashed against her body without even making a splash!

No, not no splash—it was more like pouring a ladle of oil onto a red-hot charcoal fire.

"Hiss——!!"

The woman let out a sound that was both like pain and relief. The red light in her eyes intensified. She seemed to have completely lost her reason, leaving only instinct.

"Riiip!!!"

Lu Yu felt his collar being roughly torn open. That set of high-quality magic robes instantly shredded into fragments filling the sky. The slightly cool air made him shiver.

"Wait... wait, look clearly, I'm a person, a living person!"

Lu Yu roared futilely, using his hands and feet to try and push her off. But what was pressing down on him didn't feel like a person, but a mountain—a burning iceberg. A bizarre aura, a mix of cold and heat, emanated from her, firmly locking him in place.

The beautiful woman before him trembled with her aura, and the moon-white long dress on her body instantly turned into countless fragments scattering in the air!

Lu Yu looked at the alluring woman sitting astride him. His aggrieved expression froze, and he subconsciously swallowed. This woman before him not only possessed a devastatingly beautiful, aloof face capable of ruining kingdoms, her figure was even more exaggerated to an unbelievable degree. Her waist seemed too slender to grasp, and the assets in front could practically carry two planets!

Her graceful, curvaceous figure made Lu Yu momentarily forget he was currently in a humiliating situation.

The next moment!

It was as if Pangu had torn apart the heavens!

As if Mount Buzhou had pierced the firmament!

The woman's movements were without any pattern, even clumsy, but that absolute power suppression made all technique a joke.

Lu Yu felt like a ragdoll, being manipulated at will. He tried to mobilize his Divine Sense to attack, but the moment his Divine Sense probed out, it was slammed back by her vast, chaotic, and violent Sea of Consciousness, leaving him dizzy and seeing black.

What kind of situation is this?

Twenty-four years after Transmigration, having painstakingly cultivated to the Golden Core Stage, not dying in the jaws of a Yao Beast, not falling into the hands of enemies, yet in this inexplicable place, being... done by a crazy woman?

Yin-Yang Inversion Mountain. What a fitting name!

Now, he truly was experiencing a yin-yang inversion!

Humiliation, powerlessness, and a sense of absurdity twisted into a rope binding him.

He could clearly feel two terrifying forces tearing at each other within her body: one bone-chillingly cold, the other scorchingly violent. And his own pitiful Pure Yang aura was being frantically drawn and pulled, acting as a bridge—or fuel—to mitigate these two forces.

But simultaneously, an unimaginably vast energy also surged into his Dantian.

Is this... Primordial Yin power?

The process wasn't exactly pleasant, as he was completely at her mercy. Lu Yu gritted his teeth, holding his breath, mentally cursing all the Heavenly Gods and Buddhas.

He, this Son of Destiny, had suffered such humiliation in this remote wilderness!

He didn't know how long it lasted—perhaps the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, perhaps a century. The suffocating pressure and chaotic aura on him began to recede like a tide.

The crimson in the woman's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a blank emptiness.

Then, the emptiness was filled with shock and disbelief. She abruptly looked down at Lu Yu, who was pinned beneath her, disheveled, with a look of utter despair.

Time seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

Lu Yu saw the expression on her peerlessly beautiful face change rapidly: from blankness to astonishment, to shame and anger, then to a deep regret and... killing intent? But that killing intent flashed by so quickly Lu Yu thought it was an illusion.

As if scalded, she sprang away from Lu Yu like she'd received an electric shock, staggering back a few steps. With a single hand gesture, a brand new, shimmering silver-white long dress instantly appeared on her body.

However, judging from the hurried attire, her emotions were far from calm.

She turned her face away, her breathing still somewhat rapid. An extremely unnatural blush rose on her pale cheeks, spreading all the way to the tips of her ears.

Lu Yu also hurriedly fumbled to get himself in order, propping up his weakened body to sit up, watching her warily.

Only now did he see clearly. Although this woman's aura was still terrifyingly powerful, that chaotic and violent feeling was gone. However, her face was still very pale, her lips also lacking color, clearly indicating severe injuries.

A distance of a few steps separated them. The air was so tense you could wring water from it. Only the chirping of unknown insects from the nearby Secret Realm remained, sounding particularly harsh.

The woman finally turned her face back. Her gaze was so complex Lu Yu couldn't decipher it. She didn't look at Lu Yu's body again; her eyes fell on his face, yet seemed to look through him at something else.

Finally, she sighed helplessly.

She took out two items from her own Storage Ring.

One was a palm-sized token, neither metal nor jade, carved with cloud and water patterns. The other was an exquisite, translucent small jade bottle.

With a flick of her hand, the two items traced an arc and landed gently on the ground before Lu Yu.

"This token... can grant you one instance of protection within the Canglan Sacred Sect."

Her voice had regained its aloofness, even colder than before, but listening carefully, the tail end carried a barely perceptible tremor.

"The Medicinal Pill is for healing wounds. As for today's events..."

She paused, as if weighing her words, or as if finding them difficult to utter. Finally, the words were squeezed out from between her teeth, carrying a cold warning.

"Forget about what happened today. We are ultimately people from two different worlds. If you dare speak of today's events..."

She didn't finish, but Lu Yu felt the surrounding temperature plummet. A piercing, icy killing intent stabbed at him like a needle, making his heart skip a beat.

"No matter where you flee to the ends of the earth, I will hunt you down."

After these words, she didn't look at Lu Yu again. Her delicate form moved, like a celestial beauty dancing gracefully, and in a flash, she disappeared beyond the horizon as if she had never appeared.

All that remained in the original spot was the slumped Lu Yu, the slightly cool evening breeze, the token and jade bottle on the ground, the bone-deep soreness all over his body, and the absurd, indelible memory lingering in his mind.

"Canglan Sacred Sect?"

Lu Yu wiped his face, picked up the token that felt warm and cool to the touch, turned it over and examined it, then pulled the stopper from the jade bottle. A refreshing, heart-soothing medicinal fragrance wafted out, invigorating his spirit and slightly easing the soreness in his body.

"At least a Earth-grade or higher healing pill... Is this the payment?"

Lu Yu could only say, classic!

It's really too classic. Could it be that the destined protagonist truly must encounter such a plot?

He laughed at himself mockingly, the smile uglier than crying. Just as he was about to get up, a violent burning sensation suddenly came from his Dantian, followed by an excruciating pain as if something was shattering!

"Damn it!"

Lu Yu grunted, clutching his lower abdomen as he fell back to the ground.

No way? Did that woman not only drain me but also leave a hidden hand?

The intense pain came and went quickly. But after the pain subsided, Lu Yu discovered in horror that the Golden Core he had painstakingly cultivated for years... had cracked?

Fine, dense cracks covered the surface of the Golden Core. Golden spiritual power was uncontrollably leaking out.

But right at this moment, from the hidden, unknown Void Realm, a beautiful woman in a snow-white long dress stepped out of the void, appearing right beside Lu Yu in one step. She paid no heed to Lu Yu's pained expression, instead placing a hand on his Dantian position.

Lu Yu was not surprised by her appearance.

"Aunt Xue!"

Lu Yu was a bit panicked now. The speed of his Dantian's rupture was still accelerating!

It's over! My cultivation is going to be ruined!

Just as this thought arose, a sudden change occurred!

The leaking spiritual power did not disappear. Instead, it surged back with an even more violent force!

At the center of the shattered Golden Core, a spot of light, intense to the extreme—as if concentrated solar essence—suddenly blazed brightly!

At the same time, an utterly emotionless yet crystal-clear voice directly exploded in the deepest recesses of his mind:

[Host detected forcefully and domineeringly taking the innocence of the Mahayana Stage Daughter of Destiny, Leng Qingshuang, causing her irreparable bleeding injury.]
