108: You traitor, you've gone too far!

"Uh... your disciple couldn't get in touch with her and doesn't know where she went, so I didn't have time to report to her."

"Oh?"

Nan Xingyao's expression suddenly became interesting. She knew very well that Nangong Yue usually doted on Xiao Chen exceptionally.

How could she disappear for no reason?

With her superb intelligence, she couldn't help but glance at Xiao Chen. Seeing his somewhat strange expression, she asked curiously, "With her gentle temperament, could it be that you actually managed to make her angry?"

"This..."

"Unless... you did something very bad?" Nan Xingyao leaned forward, her beautiful eyes staring into Xiao Chen's, trying to find out the truth.

"No... no, I didn't do anything bad!"

Xiao Chen hurriedly waved his hands, forcing himself to stay calm. In reality, he felt incredibly guilty. If this future wife of his found out about this, it would be disastrous!

"Hmph!"

Nan Xingyao gave a light huff and simply stopped pursuing the matter. She turned to the window and continued:

"I have long known about the yin-yang five elements pill. A few years ago, her father came to the Qixia Sect, and even Hall Master Nangong wasn't confident in refining it. What's the use of you going?"

"No... your disciple really can refine this Medicinal Pill."

"Do not speak recklessly! You have barely reached the threshold of a Fourth-Grade Alchemist; you probably haven't even attempted a fourth-grade pill yet, have you?"

"Uh... indeed I haven't."

"Then that's it. That yin-yang five elements pill is a top-tier fourth-grade pill, and the difficulty of refining it is extremely high."

"The five most precious medicinal ingredients among them are extremely hard to find. Once you fail, all previous efforts are wasted. This is also why Hall Master Nangong dared not accept the task."

"But I really can do it!"

Nan Xingyao glanced at him indifferently. "A newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger. Having confidence is a good thing, but you must never be blindly confident."

"Sigh..."

Xiao Chen sighed inwardly; it was truly impossible to reason with her. "But I have already promised Lei Qianqian that I would return to the Lei Clan with her tomorrow."

"Who allowed you to make decisions on your own?" Nan Xingyao glared at him.

"Uh... but Qianqian was crying very sadly. If the yin-yang five elements pill isn't refined soon, her grandfather will really die!"

"If you fail the refinement, she will cry even more sadly. Disappointment after being full of hope is even more despairing."

"Should we just let him fend for himself?"

"Living a life, life and death are fated; one cannot force it. The ingredients for that yin-yang five elements pill are extremely expensive. Leaving them as Cultivation resources for future descendants is also a kind of Legacy. Once the refinement fails, everything will be gone."

"Alright then."

Xiao Chen was helpless, sighing in his heart. This future wife actually doesn't believe in my strength; what should I do?

Moreover, I've already promised Lei Qianqian; I can't go back on my word, can I? That's not how a man acts!

Refining this fourth-grade pill is as easy as reaching for something.

"But I still want to go and try."

"No! Your Alchemy Revered Master is not here; you must listen to me!"

"But..."

"No buts. Besides, the journey is long and your cultivation is too low. If anything happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to my si... the Sect Master!"

The Sect Master?

How did the Sect Master get involved?

Xiao Chen looked at her with a face full of confusion. Could it be that because he became a Fourth-Grade Alchemist, he was being valued by the Sect Master?

"In short, without Revered Master's permission, you are not allowed to leave the Sect!"

"Alright."

Xiao Chen muttered helplessly. A flash of inspiration suddenly struck his Sea of Consciousness. He turned around, the wing-shaped mark on his brow flickering, then turned back again to stare straight at her.

With the release of the Succubus Aura, in just an instant, Nan Xingyao's eyes flickered and her cheeks flushed. She then hurriedly looked away in a panic.

"You..."

Xiao Chen walked toward her slowly, approaching her step by step, his body faintly emitting a purple shimmer.

Feeling the man's Aura getting closer and closer, an indescribable throbbing rose in Nan Xingyao's heart, and her soul trembled within.

Looking at her slightly reddened neck and skin as fair as jade, Xiao Chen gave a wicked smile. He stepped forward quickly and pulled her into his arms.

The charming body fragrance wafted into his nose, making his heart race.

"You... Rebellious Disciple! How dare you..."

At this moment, although Nan Xingyao's words were a reprimand, they lacked any Aura. To Xiao Chen, it seemed more like a flirtatious pout.

"Revered Master Xing Yao..."

Xiao Chen held that slender waist, which could be spanned by a single hand. He pressed his forehead against hers, and every moment of the Aura emanating from his body made her almost lose control of her soul.

"Rebellious Disciple, let me go..."

"Revered Master, you are so beautiful."

Gazing at the peerless beauty before him, those cherry lips so close at hand were like roses blooming after rain, delicate and dripping.

Xiao Chen swallowed hard and suddenly kissed her, a powerful force prying open her pearly teeth.

"Mmph!"

This immediately left Nan Xingyao stunned for ten full breaths. Her brain momentarily stalled, and she even forgot where she was.

By the time she reacted, she pushed Xiao Chen away, pointing at him with a face full of shame and anger. "Rebellious Disciple... you've gone too far!"

Then, with a wave of her jade hand, she turned into a streak of profound light and vanished on the spot.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but touch his chin. It wasn't like they hadn't kissed before; the first time, she didn't have such a big reaction!

Tsk tsk tsk... the Succubus Sacred Body is really useful! It's practically more effective than the 'honey trap' of ancient times!

"But this time, it seems to have a different flavor..."

Just then, the black Jade Slip in Xiao Chen's arms vibrated. He quickly spread out his Nascent Soul Stage Divine Sense to monitor the surroundings. With a thought, a message came from the Jade Slip:

"Reporting to the Holy Envoy, your subordinate has urgent matters to report."

Then, Xiao Chen's figure flashed as he found an extremely hidden deep forest and quietly slipped inside.

After putting on Illusory Destruction's full set of equipment, he used the qiankun stone to set his cultivation Aura to Golden Core Stage Perfection, and finally sent his coordinates over.

A quarter of an hour later.

Two figures cautiously landed in the jungle. Xiao Chen turned around and was stunned on the spot; these two were none other than—"

The twin assistants from the Pill Hall's ingredient room, Liu Yu and Liu Yun, with almost identical appearances.

This is truly interesting!

Spies from the Devilish Sect have actually infiltrated the Pill Hall, and the Sect is completely unaware.

"Subordinates pay their respects to the Holy Envoy." The two quickly knelt on one knee. With those pure faces, no one could imagine that they were actually demonesses from the Devilish Sect.

"Rise. Remember for next time! When you see me, do not use other people's attire!" Xiao Chen said, imitating Illusory Destruction's voice.

"Your subordinates will keep that in mind!"

After saying that, the two women directly took off their outer long dresses, revealing the brown Glass-patterned short skirts unique to the Soul Refining Sect.

Four slender jade legs, almost exactly the same.

However, their appearances still hadn't changed, remaining the same twin looks as before.

Xiao Chen stepped forward abruptly, pinching Liu Yu's chin, his fingertips sliding across her cheek and neck, all the way to her jade peak.

There wasn't the slightest trace of a human skin mask, indicating that their appearances were not a disguise; they simply looked this way naturally.

The two women were somewhat at a loss by Xiao Chen's behavior, yet they didn't dare to speak up.

"Where are the others?" Xiao Chen asked in a heavy voice.
