76: Celestial Artifacts: Compass of Destiny, Soul Sacrifice Rope!

Inside the barrier, boundless spring scenery.

Clothing scattered like withered flower petals on the ground.

Liu Yunshu felt relaxed in body and mind, her posture languid.

It had to be said that this Desire Heart White Lotus Body was truly excellent; combined with the Yin Yang Chaos Scripture, both of their cultivation bases were steadily improving.

Time passed rapidly in endless succession.

From high noon, to dusk settling in, and then to the stars filling the sky.

[Detected! The protagonist cleverly plotted to take the Purity of the Daughter of Destiny, Liu Yunshu, and successfully claimed Liu Yunshu!]

[Reward for the protagonist: destiny compass: Compass of Fate!]

[Compass of Fate: Can consume a certain price to obtain the answer to any truth you desire. The greater the Karma of the truth, the greater the price that must be paid!]

[Detected! The protagonist forcefully took the principal wife of the son of destiny, Tang Jia Third Young Master, causing irreparable psychological and physical harm to the other party, dealing a massive blow!]

[Reward for the protagonist: Immortal Artifact: soul sacrificing rope!]

[soul sacrificing rope: A grayish-white chain condensed from tens of thousands of Immortal Souls. Every person bound by it has a wisp of their soul drawn out, turning them into your Soul Slave, whose life and death are in your single thought. You can also control the actions of the Soul Slave; the bound shall never achieve reincarnation!]

[Successfully plundered Tang Jia Third Young Master's Luck!]

[Congratulations to the protagonist for obtaining: Luck +3000! Luck Gold Coins +10000!]

...Inside the barrier, who knows how long the intimacy lasted.

When the first ray of dawn struggled to penetrate the mist above the Stone Forest and fell upon the barrier's light screen, the activity within finally subsided slowly.

Liu Yunshu lay limp in Lu Yu's embrace, her whole body covered in fragrant sweat, her skin flushed with an alluring pink hue.

Her eyes had regained clarity, though they were still tinged with laziness and... shyness.

She dared not look at Lu Yu, burying her face deeply in the hollow of his neck, feeling deeply ashamed inside.

Lu Yu wrapped his arms around her smooth shoulders and back, gently stroking her.

As expected of the Desire Heart White Lotus Body!

His cultivation base directly broke through to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul Realm thanks to the power of her White Lotus Yin Essence!

His comprehension of the Great Dao of Yin and Yang had also deepened.

This Yin Yang Chaos Scripture truly lived up to its Immortal Grade Cultivation Technique status; the cultivation gained from Dual Cultivation had absolutely no hint of instability, being incredibly solid, with an unshakeable Foundation!

Of course, the most important thing was the beauty in his arms who now belonged to him.

If he hadn't possessed the extraordinary Supreme Bone, he might not have managed to subdue the alluring beauty before him last night.

That three-hundred-year torment from the Physique's Desire Poison was no joke!

Looking at the beautiful married woman who had regained her dignified elegance, Lu Yu was secretly amazed.

He hadn't expected that a woman who appeared so dignified and graceful on the surface.

Was the most enthusiastic during the moaning!

"Madam... Madam Liu?"

Lu Yu tentatively spoke, his voice hoarse from afterglow and tinged with a trace of helplessness.

Of course, this helplessness was feigned.

Liu Yunshu's body stiffened. After several seconds, she responded in a voice as faint as a mosquito's whine.

"...Mm."

"Last night... was truly unavoidable, I acted according to the urgency of the situation."

Lu Yu began his acting performance, his tone filled with regret and self-reproach.

"Originally, I intended to use the Blazing Sun True Fire to suppress the Desire Poison within you, but helplessly... I was too abrupt with you, Madam, ruining your Reputation. If Madam wishes to blame me, this Lu will have no complaints."

Liu Yunshu flinched, remaining silent for a long time before saying softly.

"No... I don't blame you, it was... it was me... I couldn't control myself."

Recalling her own forwardness and madness last night, she wanted nothing more than to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

But the heavy shackles of three hundred years inside her body were gone in an instant. The unprecedented sense of relief made it impossible for her to hate the young man who ruined her Purity.

In fact... there was a trace of inexplicable dependence.

"Madam..."

Lu Yu held up her face, forcing her to look at him, his gaze sincere and resolute.

"What has happened, has happened. I, Lu Yu, am not a man who abandons women after taking advantage of them. I swear by my status as the Tianyan Immortal Sect Divine Son that I will be responsible for you until the end. Liu Yunshu will be Lu Yu's woman from now on!"

His words were forceful and powerful, complemented by his handsome face and clear eyes, making them extremely impactful.

Liu Yunshu stared at him blankly. The heart lake that had been frozen for hundreds of years seemed to have a scorching stone thrown into it, creating circles of complex ripples.

Responsible? He was the Tianyan Divine Son... his status was certainly not low, but she... was a widow!

And she was many years older than him... How could this work?

"I... I am an inauspicious person, and I am much older than you... We..."

Her eyes dimmed, filled with worry and low self-esteem.

"Age and status are both illusory things."

Lu Yu interrupted her, his fingers gently wiping away a tear that had unknowingly slipped from the corner of her eye.

"I only know that the person whose Divine Souls resonated with mine last night was the real you before me. If Madam is willing, Lu Yu is willing to protect you for the rest of your life, ensuring you no longer suffer from that Desire Poison, nor suffer any grievance."

Sweet words combined with future guarantees, a two-pronged approach.

Liu Yunshu was left dizzy by his words. The resistance and worry in her heart melted away quickly, like ice and snow under the sun.

That's right, besides him, who else could resolve her suffering so completely?

Who else could give her this unprecedented sense of security and... a fluttering heart?

She looked at Lu Yu's young, handsome, yet firm face, and finally, as if resigning herself to fate, she closed her eyes and nodded gently, uttering a sound almost inaudible.

"Mm..."

[Detected! The protagonist used sweet talk to make the Daughter of Destiny, Liu Yunshu, completely devoted to the protagonist, fully submitting physically and mentally to the protagonist!]

[Reward for the protagonist: Skill: Max Level Rope Art!]

Lu Yu: ???

Is this Rope Art the legitimate kind of Rope Art?

The System just rewarded him with the Immortal Artifact soul sacrificing rope above, and now it gives him Max Level Rope Art—are these two things not meant to be a set?

This System isn't proper; it's trying to cultivate some improper methods in him!

But fortunately, he knew that this beautiful madam was preliminarily secured.

He thought for a moment, then hesitated before speaking again, his tone showing a bit of embarrassed inquiry.

"Madam... last night, I noticed you didn't seem... satisfied... Did I do something wrong and hurt you?"

He was asking questions he already knew the answer to, trying to confirm the accuracy of the System's information while teasing her further.

Liu Yunshu's face instantly flushed red enough to drip blood, even her ears and neck turned pink.

She was so ashamed she almost curled into a ball, her voice weak, stammering intermittently.

"It's not... it has nothing to do with Young Master Lu... it's just that I... before... after the poison flared up, I manually..."

Her voice became almost inaudible towards the end, and her head was completely buried.

Lu Yu understood, and at the same time, he was somewhat surprised by this woman's method of self-control.

So she was actually a craftswoman with three hundred years of experience!

He didn't ask further, but simply held her tighter, whispering in her hot ear.

"I see. From now on, with me here, you won't need to trouble yourself manually anymore."

Liu Yunshu felt another wave of shyness, but this time, she nestled securely into his embrace.
