The Temptation of Xiao Fan

Jiang Lanzhi nodded with a solemn expression, saying, “The Demon Mother Nest isn’t aggressive, but its power lies in its ability to create demons, almost to the point of infinite reproduction.”

“As long as the Demon Mother Nest lives, the demonic plague will never truly cease!”

Jiang Lanzhi’s tone was heavy as she spoke.

“That’s so impressive! If I could control it, wouldn’t it be like having a tool demon for infinite troop production?”

“It seems quite useful,” Xiao Fan thought, wondering if he could control it.

The Grand Elder nodded at the appropriate moment and said, “Indeed, this Demon Mother Nest has extremely strong defenses. If we were to fight it head-on, it would likely self-destruct its demon core.”

“At that time, it would likely devastate the living beings within a hundred thousand li radius.”

“Therefore, we are currently discussing how to eliminate this Demon Mother Nest without causing too much harm.”

“Can you take me to see it?” Jiang Lanzhi suddenly asked.

Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow and said, “Oh, it’s very dangerous. Are you sure you want to go?”

“I’m just curious,” Jiang Lanzhi said indifferently.

“You seem to know a lot about it. How about you go and eliminate that Demon Mother Nest?” Xiao Fan pushed her forward.

Jiang Lanzhi was dumbfounded. “I’m just going to look! You want me to fight the Demon Mother Nest? You’re hoping I die, aren’t you?!”

The more she looked, the more something felt off. This Xiao Fan was vastly different from the one in her previous life who had been so protective of her!

“What secrets are you hiding?” Jiang Lanzhi grew even more curious.

Jiang Lanzhi quickly refused, saying, “I’m just purely curious. I don’t want to die yet.”

Xiao Fan brazenly wrapped his arm around her slender waist, lifted her flowing dark hair with his hand, and sniffed its fragrance at his nose, like a dissolute young master.

Even the Grand Elder was dumbfounded. “Saint, I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person. So bad! I must learn from you critically when I have time.”

Jiang Lanzhi tried to struggle free, but the disparity in their cultivation made it impossible for her to move.

“Anyway, we’ve already kissed, and his tongue has explored… and he even grabbed my…” She looked down at her ample bosom helplessly, feeling sorry for them.

Now, just being embraced didn’t seem like such a big deal.

Through his previous practice of conquering Su Yiyun, Xiao Fan was well-versed in the art of pushing boundaries, eroding her bottom line step by step, and finally devouring her whole.

Seeing her helpless expression, Xiao Fan knew she was compromising internally.

“Don’t be so quick to refuse.”

“Aren’t you going to be the Saintess? As long as you help our Holy Land resolve this matter, the Tai Xuan Holy Land will owe you a debt of gratitude.”

“At that time, I will not only appear as your fiancé, but I will also represent the Tai Xuan Holy Land. With the support of both our forces, who can compete with you?”

As Xiao Fan spoke, he brushed her waterfall-like dark hair behind her ear, as if playing with his beloved rag doll, with a hint of tenderness and cherish.

Hearing this, Jiang Lanzhi’s eyes lit up.

If she could gain the support of the Tai Xuan Holy Land, coupled with her identity as the Xiao Family’s heir’s fiancée, her chances of competing for the Saintess position would be even greater.

She asked the Grand Elder, “Senior, you are the Grand Elder of the Tai Xuan Holy Land. Is this true?”

She didn’t trust Xiao Fan’s promise and still needed to ask the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder glanced at Xiao Fan, and seeing Xiao Fan nod, he also nodded and said, “Since the Saint has said so, I will certainly support him.”

Jiang Lanzhi realized her miscalculation. In the end, it still came down to Xiao Fan’s nod. “How many secrets do you have?”

There was nothing she could do but agree.

Because in her memory, this Saintess assessment was the most difficult in history, even alarming forces from the Immortal Realm.

For this Saintess assessment in the Hundred Flowers Holy Land, there was a princess from the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty. It was said that her Old Ancestor in the heavens supported her, sending her various divine weapons, miraculous pills, and wonderful medicines.

In her previous life, after her Ascension, she learned the reason: the Old Ancestor of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty in the heavens was pursuing the Baihua Fairy, hoping to establish a connection through the Hundred Flowers Holy Land in the Mortal Realm and win her heart.

It was a roundabout way of wooing, so to speak.

In her previous life, the reason she obtained the Legacy was because she chose to die, falling into an abyss, and by coincidence, she was teleported to the Forbidden Ground of the Hundred Flowers Holy Land.

That abyss was full of dangers; a slight mistake would leave no bones. Perhaps it was a case of facing death to find life, but Jiang Lanzhi survived.

She didn’t want to gamble on luck again. Since she had been reborn, she would secure it steadily!

A proper assessment, openly accepting the Legacy.

Jiang Lanzhi asked, “When do we depart?”

“Of course, the sooner the better, preferably right now,” Xiao Fan said.

Jiang Lanzhi also thought it made sense; the longer they waited, the stronger the Demon Mother Nest would become.

There was no time to lose.

The Grand Elder said, “Then it shall be as the Saint says.”

After speaking, he walked out of the main hall to prepare to summon people to conquer the Northern Underworld Demon Cave.

Frankly, the Northern Underworld Demon Cave was a long-standing problem for the Tai Xuan Holy Land. To guard the Demon Cave, several Elders always had to be stationed there.

Occasionally, when incidents occurred, they had to expend great effort to quell the chaos.

Now that someone was willing to go in and handle it, he naturally had no objections.

In the empty main hall, only Xiao Fan and Jiang Lanzhi remained. Jiang Lanzhi said, “I didn’t expect your status in the Holy Land to be so surprisingly high.”

Although the Saint was unique, it was still very rare for the Grand Elder to listen to his opinions.

Xiao Fan spread his hands and said, “What can I do? Who told me I have good parents?”

“If it weren’t to increase my attack power and break through defenses, I wouldn’t even cultivate.”

Indeed, lust is the primary motivation for cultivation!

Jiang Lanzhi was speechless. “This guy… if you don’t cultivate, why did you use my heart as a guide?”

It was getting stranger and stranger. Was this the same person she had met in her previous life?

[Ding, Jiang Lanzhi is highly suspicious of your behavior and her heart is wavering.]

[Conquest progress bar: 2%]

Damn it, only 2%?

Only increased by 1%, too slow.

[Not slow. Think of it from another perspective: from 1% to 2%, the completed progress has directly doubled, an increase of 100%. Is that still slow?]

Xiao Fan was speechless internally. “Is this the art of language?”

Xiao Fan released his arm from around Jiang Lanzhi and said with a half-smile, “I feel like you harbor hostility towards me. Did I offend you somewhere?”

Jiang Lanzhi hadn’t expected Xiao Fan to ask such a question. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly and said, “I’m just shy. Strangers, keep away. I’m not intentionally avoiding you.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Xiao Fan didn’t delve deeper, just replied casually.

Seeing that Xiao Fan didn’t press the issue, Jiang Lanzhi also breathed a sigh of relief. If he had pressed, her answer might have been wrong and full of flaws.

Xiao Fan changed the subject and asked her about information regarding the Demon Mother Nest.

Since they would need to cooperate in eliminating the Demon Mother Nest later, Jiang Lanzhi told him all the characteristics she knew.

“The Demon Mother Nest has countless tentacles, through which it feeds. It has a large, blood-red mouth, and by devouring the Physical Body of Cultivators, it reshapes the Physical Body to nurture new demons.”

“At the center of the Demon Mother Nest, there is usually a demon core. The demon core is the Demon Mother Nest’s vital point. Only by destroying the demon core can the Demon Mother Nest be considered truly slain. Otherwise, no matter how much damage it sustains, it will regenerate.”

“It sounds like Puppet arts, except this Puppet’s Physical Body is flesh and blood.”

What Xiao Fan cared about most wasn’t this. His focus was on whether it was controllable. If it was controllable, he would take it.

“Can this thing be enslaved, or rather, controlled?”
