296: grateful

Xu Sanyan twitched his lips; he wouldn't believe those words even if it killed him.

Just looking at these little tricks of hers, he knew she wasn't simple. She was definitely a veteran in the field of seduction, and who knew how many men had fallen at her feet.

Chang Yulian's tone carried a hint of feigned anger, "Young Master, please do not trample upon me so. If you continue, I will..."

"And what will you do?" Xu Sanyan reached out, forcefully turned her head, and locked eyes with her.

"I will ignore you..." Chang Yulian said, acting angry.

Xu Sanyan found it increasingly amusing; he wrapped his hand around her thigh and caressed it, watching as she gradually became aroused.

Chang Yulian kicked off her shoes, reached out to pull the quilt over herself, and began rustling around, though it was unclear what she was doing inside.

After a moment, she extended a slender arm to toss out a piece of clothing, then wrapped herself up tightly again.

Immediately after, a small hand secretly crept out from under the quilt, placed something inside Xu Sanyan's embrace, and quickly retracted.

Xu Sanyan curiously took it out from his embrace; it was a pair of white socks.

"You little slut."

Xu Sanyan cursed with a laugh. Immediately, he shifted his focus, circulated the magic power within his body, and condensed a complex rune in the Void Realm—it was the Demon Seed.

Chang Yulian was secretly happy under the quilt when suddenly her heart skipped a beat. It felt as if an immense crisis was looming over her. She threw off the quilt, exposing her fair skin completely.

Chang Yulian felt her brow twitching violently, a sign that danger was approaching.

Yet she saw nothing. However, she knew this danger likely came from the person beside her. No longer caring about their romantic entanglement, she asked sharply, "What did you do?"

Xu Sanyan glanced at her sideways, raising an eyebrow in slight surprise, "You can sense it?"

Although the effects of the Purple Mountain Heart Planting Art were unique, at the end of the day, it was merely a Divine Soul secret technique: first, condense a Demon Seed, then plant it into the target's mind.

As the enemies he encountered became stronger, the success rate of this secret technique was gradually decreasing.

Cultivators in the Mystic Path Realm could already vaguely sense the danger brought by the Demon Seed, while Soul Refinement Realm Cultivators were fully capable of avoiding it.

Although Chang Yulian sensed the danger, the vast difference in cultivation between them made it difficult for her to resist.

Xu Sanyan curled his lips into a smile, "I'm playing something interesting with you."

He infused the Demon Seed with the thought of "submission."

The sense of crisis in Chang Yulian's heart grew stronger. She flipped over and rose, intending to dash out the door.

She knew the gap in their cultivation was immense, so she didn't harbor any delusions of resisting. She only needed to escape to be safe, because this was Chang Family Village, her home turf.

"Heh, just lie back down obediently."

At this point, how could Xu Sanyan let her escape easily? Without making any discernible movement, his figure flickered and he instantly appeared behind Chang Yulian.

His palm, looking slow but actually fast, imprinted on the back of her head, and the rune from the Void Realm merged into her mind with this strike.

Chang Yulian froze on the spot, her mind feeling dazed. In that instant, she forgot what she was doing and no longer remembered her goal.

Xu Sanyan turned and embraced her body, placing her back on the bed. Then, he stood at the head of the bed, quietly watching her dazed expression shift.

He scanned Chang Yulian's curvaceous body up and down, his smile growing richer. He pinched her gently, "Like to play? I'll play with you properly in a moment."

Chang Yulian's dazed expression gradually recovered, though a hint of attachment appeared in her eyes.

The effect of the Demon Seed would strengthen over time; having just been planted, the influence on her wasn't particularly great yet.

"Awake?" Xu Sanyan asked with a smile.

"Mm, what happened to me?" Chang Yulian felt some Chaos in her mind.

Xu Sanyan ignored her and asked directly, "You all take turns seducing me. What exactly is your goal?"

"Hmm?"

Chang Yulian was stunned. Just as she was about to argue, she fell into hesitation. A thought was frantically battering her mind: "Tell him... He is your closest person... No need to hide it..."

Chang Yulian shook her head vigorously, wanting to discard this thought, but it was to no avail. The thought seemed deeply rooted in her Divine Soul, becoming increasingly firm.

"I... did not seduce you."

She still maintained her final bottom line, suppressing the chaotic thoughts in her heart.

Xu Sanyan picked up the white socks and shook them, brought them to his nose, and sniffed gently. He glanced at her, "What is this?"

"Socks..."

"Whose socks?"

Chang Yulian's lips moved, "Mine."

Xu Sanyan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her with a sincere expression, "You don't need to hide anything from me. We are so close, would I ever harm you?"

"Mm..."

Chang Yulian became increasingly conflicted. Two thoughts intertwined in her mind. She knew she shouldn't reveal the Family secret, but she couldn't help it. She always felt the man before her was so intimate; perhaps telling him... would be fine?

"They treat you as prey..." Chang Yulian finally confessed.

Xu Sanyan raised an eyebrow, "Prey?"

"Mm, our Chang family Cultivation Technique is unique. When copulating with others, we can unknowingly absorb the other party's essence, Qi, and spirit to nourish ourselves..."

Chang Yulian revealed the secret of the Chang family without holding back a single bit.

Xu Sanyan listened silently, nodding from time to time.

"You are merely in the Mystic Path Realm, yet you dare to make a move on me, a Soul Refinement Realm Cultivator? Are you not afraid I might react and kill you with a single palm strike?"

Chang Yulian shook her head, "That won't happen. Once we begin to copulate, you will become incredibly attached to me, obsessed with my body, and unable to extricate yourself. You won't be able to notice anything at all."

"So that's how it is..."

A trace of lingering fear rose in Xu Sanyan's heart. It seemed he really needed to keep his little brother in check from now on. The various bizarre techniques in the cultivation world were impossible to guard against; one might fall into a trap at any moment.

Xu Sanyan suddenly remembered the man with the dull expression he had seen in the main hall earlier, so he asked, "That husband of yours..."

Chang Yulian nodded gently, "Just like him, except the final step failed, so he could only be used as Materials for the soul-urging incense."

"The final step? soul-urging incense?" Xu Sanyan recalled the incense Chang Yin Nu had lit earlier; so that was the soul-urging incense.

Since it had come to this, Chang Yulian no longer held anything back and explained everything.

Xu Sanyan thoroughly understood everything about the Chang family and also knew the reason they had taken turns seducing him.

Not only that, he also learned an important piece of news from Chang Yulian: the Gan Country and the Central Continent Five Great Sects had both sent people into Luan Yun Mountain. Their purpose was self-evident; it was surely for the treasures in his hands.

The secret realm fruit and the Jade Slip!

These two treasures were rare items, especially the secret realm fruit, which was of paramount importance. It was only natural that they would attract covetous eyes.

"Having said so much, how should I thank you?"

Xu Sanyan wore a wicked smile on his face, reached out to untie his waist belt, and revealed his sturdy body. Chang Yulian's gaze shifted downward, and a flush instantly rose to her cheeks.
