44: Chapter 44 I'm not good at coaxing women

Sunlight pierced through the clouds and spilled onto Xiaoyao Peak.

The air was tense, as if a conflict was about to erupt.

Outside the main hall of Xiaoyao Peak.

To Lu Chen's left, Leng Qingqiu was wiping the imperial sword jiuyou with silk, her gaze drifting toward the right from time to time.

On the right, Yun Qianyue was lying on the railing.

Her nine fluffy tails swayed behind her, occasionally brushing against Lu Chen's back.

"Revered Master~ I am so sore, it must have been because you were too vigorous last night."

Yun Qianyue's voice was soft and sweet, her eyes brimming with seduction.

Lu Chen rolled his eyes: "If you are sore, go hit a tree; don't get your fur all over me."

Just then.

Two streaks of light tore through the sky and landed directly on the plaza of Xiaoyao Peak.

The light dissipated, revealing two beautiful women.

The one on the left, wearing a flowing golden dress, covered in pearls and jade, was Wei Hongyu, who wore "I am very rich" all over her body.

The one on the right, draped in a colorful rosy garment, holding a spirit fox, was the noble and icy Holy Land Revered Master of Yaochi, Yao Xi.

The two had originally intended to come find Lu Chen early in the morning when there were few people to "catch up and settle scores."

But as soon as they landed, their expressions instantly froze.

The scene before them left them stunned.

Next to Lu Chen lay a woman with a fox tail, exposing a large expanse of snowy skin.

There was also a cold girl holding a sword, looking resentful.

Plus the two Su Sisters in the corner responsible for watching the drama.

"Oh."

Yao Xi's phoenix eyes narrowed, her voice carrying coldness and jealousy.

"Emperor Yun certainly has good taste."

"You don't go to the Holy Land banquet, so it turns out you were hiding here at Xiaoyao Peak holding a promiscuous gathering?"

"Your tastes are quite heavy, you don't even spare a fox?"

Wei Hongyu's reaction was more direct.

"Lu Chen, when did you become so desperate?"

Wei Hongyu took a step forward, and without any visible movement, a storage ring smashed directly at Yun Qianyue's feet.

"This is a set of top-tier magic robes, woven from heavenly silkworm silk; it is fireproof, waterproof, and prevents accidental exposure."

Wei Hongyu lifted her chin, looking at Yun Qianyue with the eyes of someone looking down on a beggar.

"Put it on!"

"Giggle~"

Yun Qianyue laughed.

She slowly straightened her body, her nine tails suddenly flared out, fully releasing the demonic Aura of the Saint Realm.

She didn't go to pick up the storage ring on the ground, but instead deliberately leaned against Lu Chen.

"This auntie, is having money so amazing?"

Yun Qianyue stuck out her tongue to lick her red lips, looking provocatively at Wei Hongyu: "Revered Master likes wild ones like me, he doesn't like your type."

"Besides, Revered Master couldn't keep his hands off my body last night; do you know what romance is?"

Wei Hongyu's body trembled, her spiritual power surging around her.

"Enough!"

Lu Chen stood up and straightened his somewhat messy robe.

He only felt his head buzzing.

On one side were three troublemaking disciples, and on the other were two troublesome old acquaintances.

If this wasn't handled well, Xiaoyao Peak would definitely be torn down today.

More importantly, he hadn't slept enough!

"Everyone shut up!"

Lu Chen glared at Wei Hongyu and Yao Xi irritably:

"Running to someone else's home early in the morning and yelling, do you have any sense of public morality? I want to sleep!"

"You still have the heart to sleep?"

Yao Xi sneered and took a step forward, the majesty of the Holy Land Revered Master following:

"Pervert, why weren't you sleeping three hundred years ago when you snatched my bellyband? You teased me so many times; if you don't give me an explanation today, you can forget about keeping this Xiaoyao Peak!"

"Exactly!" Wei Hongyu was not to be outdone, "My account hasn't been settled yet, today you must pay with your body!"

Lu Chen knew that if he didn't give them some benefits, these two wouldn't leave easily.

Since he couldn't use force, he could only use wit.

Lu Chen took a deep breath, and his eyes instantly changed.

The laziness on his body vanished, becoming deep and melancholic.

He slowly raised his hand and reached toward his hair bun.

He pulled out the ordinary wooden hairpin that was holding his hair.

His black hair cascaded down, paired with his handsome face, full of charm.

Lu Chen took the wooden hairpin and walked toward Yao Xi step by step.

With every step he took, his gaze became more affectionate.

Yao Xi was stunned by his actions and instinctively took a half-step back; the spirit fox in her arms also stopped bristling.

"What are you doing?"

Yao Xi's voice stuttered a bit, and her Aura instantly weakened by half.

Lu Chen stopped at a distance of only half a foot from Yao Xi.

He lowered his head, staring at Yao Xi.

"Yao Xi."

Lu Chen's voice was low, carrying a trace of hoarseness: "Do you know why I have been hiding from you for these three hundred years?"

Yao Xi's body trembled slightly.

"Why?" Yao Xi felt her heartbeat quicken.

"Because I was afraid, I was going to undergo Ascension before!"

Lu Chen raised the wooden hairpin in his hand, his expression sorrowful:

"I was afraid I wouldn't have the chance to say goodbye to you, because perhaps I would never see you again, and soon I will undergo Ascension..."

"You..." Yao Xi's face turned red instantly, her eyes starting to dodge:

"What nonsense are you spouting..."

"I am not talking nonsense."

Lu Chen affectionately handed the wooden hairpin in his hand to Yao Xi.

In Yao Xi's eyes, this was different.

Because she could feel that inside this wooden hairpin, it contained a pure and profound Law of the Dao!

That was the Aura of the Enlightenment Tree!

"Is this a hairpin polished from the heart of the Enlightenment Tree?"

The Enlightenment Tree, that was a legendary immortal root, a single leaf was hard to find, let alone the heart of the tree!

"What heart of the Enlightenment Tree; in my eyes, it is just my token of affection for you. Will you go back to Yaochi Holy Land first, okay?"

"After I finish handling things, I will come to the Holy Land to visit and accompany you. If I don't come, you can take this hairpin and come find me, and I will agree to any of your requests!"

Lu Chen was talking nonsense in a serious and affectionate manner.

Yao Xi held the wooden hairpin that still carried Lu Chen's body heat, and she was completely dazed.

Her mind went blank.

The anger from just a moment ago instantly dissipated.

She even felt a little like crying.

"Lu Chen... you bastard, you said it, I'll remember it!"

The Su Sisters nearby were dumbfounded.

Yun Qianyue's mouth twitched, and all nine of her tails froze.

Only Leng Qingqiu, the hand holding her sword was trembling.

That was the hairpin Revered Master had worn for several days! That was Revered Master's personal item! It should belong to her!

"Alright, don't cry, your makeup is ruined."

Lu Chen gently helped Yao Xi wipe away the non-existent tears from the corner of her eyes.

"Be good, go back first. I still have a lot of things to deal with right now, as you can see, things are a mess here."

"After I finish dealing with these trivial matters, I will definitely go to Yaochi to find you."

Yao Xi nodded obediently.

"Okay, I will trust you this once."

She carefully put away the wooden hairpin, glared fiercely at Wei Hongyu on the side, and then turned around.

Then, holding the spirit fox, she walked away, looking back every few steps.

When she left, her steps were light.

One down!

Lu Chen let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

He slowly turned around and looked at that wealthy woman, Wei Hongyu, who was holding her arms and watching him with a cold sneer.

Wei Hongyu lightly waved the folding fan in her hand, her eyes playful.

"Make it up, keep making it up."

Wei Hongyu sneered: "A broken hairpin was enough to fool that big-breasted, brainless woman?"

"Lu Chen, do you think this trick will work on me?"

"If you can't come up with something and a promise that satisfies me today, this won't be the end of our business!"
