246: Chapter 246 A Faint Fragrance

"I heard you also took on a disciple, Luo Li. Why is she not here?" Holy Master Yan Xiaoxi called out Fairy Luo Shen by her real name and asked her curiously.

"Yaoyao... Yaoyao went to the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm. Rumor has it that the immortal divine herb, the god spirit flower, is inside, so she went to look for it. Yaoyao has a deficiency in her divine body, and it seems the god spirit flower can mend her incomplete divine body." Fairy Luo Shen, Ye Qingxian, said softly to Holy Master Yan Xiaoxi.

"The forbidden Hundred Flowers Secret Realm? That is hardly a safe place! For your disciple, that secret realm is far too dangerous!" Holy Master Yan Xiaoxi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but look worried. She stared at Fairy Luo Li, speechless, truly unable to understand how she could be so at ease letting her own disciple venture into the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm alone!

"Uh... I didn't think the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm was all that dangerous at the time! Perhaps it's because my strength is relatively high, so I didn't take it seriously..." Fairy Luo Li scratched her head, somewhat embarrassed. "But after Yaoyao left, I suddenly remembered recently that while the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm might not be dangerous for me, it is an extremely perilous place for a young girl like Yaoyao! Sigh, it's my fault for not thinking it through... But don't worry, I have already dispatched an elder of the Huangxuan Realm to rush over. I believe he will definitely be able to help that girl!"

Fairy Luo Shen whispered, "It should be fine."

Holy Master Yan Xiaoxi, standing to the side, couldn't help but chuckle. She could only cover her forehead with her hand, signaling her deep sympathy for Wu Yaoyao for having a master who loved to tease her disciple so much.

"Unlike me, where it is clearly I, the master, who gets outsmarted by my own disciple!" As Holy Master Yan Xiaoxi said this, she shook her head helplessly, then cast her gaze toward Ye Qingxian, who was eating an immortal fruit with great relish, and couldn't help but heave a soft sigh.

At this moment, Fairy Luo Li stretched her slender, seemingly boneless waist, and then focused intently on playing chess with Holy Master Yan Xiaoxi.

"Crunch, crunch, crunch—" Beside them, the little foodie Ye Qingxian was happily gnawing on the immortal fruit in her hand, having a wonderful time.

...

Night fell, and the lanterns were lit. In this city full of sin—the Ancient City of Sin—Ye Xuan and Wu Yaoyao moved to another inn to rest.

After entering the room, the two sat cross-legged facing each other on the soft couch.

"Hum, hum~" Suddenly, the aura around Wu Yaoyao's entire body fluctuated like the tide. Her originally somewhat stagnant cultivation aura began to gradually become smooth and interconnected, and her overall energy grew increasingly powerful.

About a quarter of an hour later, her cultivation realm successfully broke through from the ninth level of the Earth Profound Realm to the second level of the Heaven Profound Realm.

"Yaoyao has successfully broken through to the second level of the Heaven Profound Realm. Thank you so much for the immortal milk nectar, Brother." Wu Yaoyao expressed her gratitude with full joy.

Opposite Ye Xuan, Wu Yaoyao, who was dressed in a dark cyan immortal dress and was as beautiful and moving as a fairy descending to the mortal world, slowly opened her charming, deep, beautiful eyes and said softly to Ye Xuan, "My girl can't really be considered impressive..."

Her voice was crisp and melodious, like the sound of nature.

A warm smile, like a spring breeze, hung on the corners of Ye Xuan's mouth. He gazed at Wu Yaoyao with deep affection and praised her softly, "Who says that? In my eyes, our girl is a peerless and unique existence!"

Hearing this, a shy blush instantly rose on Wu Yaoyao's pretty face hidden beneath her cyan veil. She couldn't help but lower her head and respond bashfully, "That's not true..." Her words even carried a hint of coquettishness.

"Girl, it has been over ten days since we first met, but Brother has yet to catch a single glimpse of your true face! May I ask if you could lift this veil so that Brother may behold your beauty that could topple cities and states?" Ye Xuan stared intently at Wu Yaoyao, who was dressed in a cyan glazed immortal dress, with a graceful figure and stunning beauty. His eyes revealed a hint of curiosity, and he asked her in an extremely gentle and tactful tone.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yaoyao first slightly raised her jade-white forehead. A trace of conflict and hesitation flashed through her clear, autumn-water eyes, and then her body shifted slightly, appearing somewhat restless.

"Brother... I... I..." She stammered for a long time but couldn't say anything coherent.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan laughed and hurriedly comforted her, "Don't be nervous, girl. Brother was just joking with you. Look at how flustered I've made you!"

Ye Xuan looked at Wu Yaoyao, who radiated a fragile temperament, and an strange feeling arose in his heart. He subconsciously touched his nose, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Then, he said softly to Wu Yaoyao, "Don't misunderstand, Sister, I didn't mean anything else... I just think you are very special. However, if you are willing to let me see your true face, that is, of course, also fine."

Hearing Ye Xuan's words, a blush instantly rose on Wu Yaoyao's cheeks, as tempting as a ripe apple.

She took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, but her beautiful eyes still looked at Ye Xuan somewhat evasively.

Then, she slowly extended her arm. Her small, jade-white, and delicate hand gently reached behind her ear and carefully removed her dark cyan veil.

The moment Wu Yaoyao lifted the veil, Ye Xuan's eyes widened slightly, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

The woman before him was dressed in a dark cyan immortal dress, her figure graceful and alluring, like a fairy descending to the mortal world. Her face was like a finely crafted work of art, breathtakingly beautiful, truly capable of toppling cities and states, putting the moon to shame and making flowers blush.

Those clear and bright eyes were like a pool of clear spring water, rippling with gentle light. Her curved willow-leaf eyebrows resembled distant mountains covered in dark green, giving one a feeling of grace and gentleness.

Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly like butterfly wings, adding a touch of playfulness and cuteness. Her fair, petite nose was straight and beautiful, with a slightly reddish tip, like a crystal-clear gemstone.

Her pink, tender lips were just like blooming peach blossoms, luscious and dripping with charm, inciting wild imagination.

"Brother, have... have you finished looking?" Wu Yaoyao's voice was soft, sweet, and melodious, like the sound of nature, mixed with a hint of shyness.

"I really didn't expect it. My Yaoyao is actually born with such a flower-like face and moon-like beauty; she is even more stunning and moving than the fairies above the nine heavens! If I could keep looking at you like this, I fear I wouldn't feel tired even if I looked for tens of thousands of years!"

Ye Xuan's exceptionally handsome face slowly leaned closer to Wu Yaoyao. His deep, pool-like eyes gazed intently at this refined, otherworldly, and breathtakingly beautiful face before him, as if he wanted to deeply imprint every smile and frown of hers into his heart.

Wu Yaoyao's two pink, cherry-like lips parted slightly, and the breath exhaled from her mouth faintly permeated with an intoxicating, faint floral fragrance.

This faint fragrance was as mellow and lingering as aged fine wine, making Ye Xuan involuntarily take a deep breath.
