68: Bait, aphrodisiac potion

Yunlan Mountains.

In the vast mountain forest.

“Kid, notify me first when you encounter a third-tier Yao Beast, otherwise, with your own strength, you will definitely…”

Lu Yichan was muttering when she suddenly saw a flash of white light. A grey wolf with thick fur was sliced open by Lin Yuan’s sword, and blood gushed out from the wound.

“This is… a Howling Sky Wolf!”

Recognizing the Yao Beast’s origin, she was instantly stunned.

This was a genuine third-tier Yao Beast with considerable strength. Lin Yuan was actually able to kill it with one sword strike?

Is this really an Opening Meridian Realm Cultivator?

While she was stunned, Lin Yuan had already dealt with the Yao wolf’s corpse and said joyfully, “We just entered the arena and encountered a third-tier Yao Beast. Our luck is really good.”

“Hmm… it’s pretty good.”

Lu Yichan came back to her senses, nodding softly.

“Was Miss Lu about to say something just now?”

“Nothing, let’s continue exploring and see if we can encounter more such Yao Beasts.”

…

Not long after.

“Swish!”

Lin Yuan swung his Azure Frost Sword, striking the neck of a large rat. Instantly, its head separated from its body, and its life force quickly dissipated.

Cutting open the rat’s corpse and taking out the grey Yao Core from its body, he couldn’t help but smile, “Adding this one, we’ve already obtained seven third-tier Yao Cores. This efficiency is quite fast, isn’t it?”

After the competition began, they ignored the first and second-tier Yao Beasts and went directly to search for third-tier Yao Beasts. With good luck, they encountered seven in a short period of time.

Beside him, Lu Yichan nodded and said, “It’s indeed quite fast, but it’s still far from the championship. Judging from the top scores in previous years, we need to hunt at least a hundred third-tier Yao Beasts to be enough.”

Lin Yuan’s performance just now truly impressed her, so she no longer dared to underestimate him, and her attitude became much friendlier.

“Young Master Lin.”

Lin Yuan was about to continue forward when he suddenly heard her speak, so he turned his head and asked, “What is it, Young Miss?”

Lu Yichan raised her hand to gently brush her hair, her red lips parting as she said, “I can tell you seem to be deliberately showing off your strength in front of me. I admit you are indeed extraordinary, but to be my man, you’re still a little bit short. Work hard from now on. When you become stronger than me someday, I will naturally consider your feelings.”

“Huh?”

Lin Yuan’s expression froze, speechless for a moment.

This Miss Lu’s self-perception is a bit too good, isn’t it?

He just wanted to kill more Yao Beasts to get closer to the championship. Who said he was performing in front of her?

Where did you even see that he had feelings for you?

Is this woman used to being flattered, so she thinks all men in the world should revolve around her?

Recalling Wei Shang from before, and the many men who came to strike up a conversation, he affirmed this guess in his heart.

Although he was speechless, for the sake of the league’s results, he still nodded and said, “You are right, my cultivation is indeed a bit lacking. When I become stronger in the future, then we can talk about matters of love.”

Lu Yichan said with satisfaction, “You do have self-awareness…”

As soon as the words left her mouth, she saw the man had already turned and set off.

This made her stomp her foot, “What an impolite fellow, not even listening to me finish speaking. And here I just had a little good impression of you. It seems I’ll have to test you more in the future.”

Having said that, she also quickly flew up, catching up to his pace.

The two of them explored the mountains for an hour, resolving a total of fifteen third-tier Yao Beasts.

“The league limit is six hours, and we still have a lot of time. There’s no need to venture into the depths for points.”

The nearby Yao Beasts had been almost entirely killed by them, so Lu Yichan proposed entering the depths of the mountains to explore, but Lin Yuan immediately rejected her on the spot.

“Alright, then let’s go explore the surroundings. If we really can’t find any third-tier Yao Beasts, we’ll have to go deeper.”

The young girl said with a resolute expression and an unquestionable tone.

Lin Yuan was about to say something when he suddenly heard a cooing sound. The two followed the sound and saw a rabbit over half a meter tall with purple ears appear in the grass not far away.

“What kind of Yao Beast is this?”

“This is a Purple-eared Rabbit. Such a huge size means it’s at least a third-tier Yao Beast! Quickly kill it and take its Yao Core!”

Lu Yichan explained while drawing her sword and rushing out.

Seeing the human approaching aggressively, the rabbit turned and ran.

“Purple-eared Rabbit?”

Hearing this, Lin Yuan remembered. His Revered Master had once explained this type of Yao Beast to him.

“Purple-eared Rabbits are docile by nature and are usually kept as pets by humans. There are very few wild ones, and even if there are, they are first or second-tier. Third-tier ones are basically raised by humans.”

The past words echoed in his ears, and Lin Yuan’s pupils constricted. He immediately realized this was a trap.

“Don’t chase yet! This beast is a trick!”

He wanted to stop her, but Lu Yichan had already flown far away. How could she hear his words?

“Damn it! This woman knows the name of the Purple-eared Rabbit, so how could she not know its habits?”

Muttering a curse, he quickly chased in the direction the young girl had gone.

On the other side, Lu Yichan chased for a long time and finally got close to the Purple-eared Rabbit at the bottom of a cliff.

“Little rabbit, where else can you run!”

Seeing the other party pressed against the vertical cliff wall, looking like there was no escape, the young girl couldn’t help but let out a triumphant sound.

“Whether it runs or not, you won’t be running today.”

A familiar human voice sounded, and Lu Yichan immediately turned to look, only to see two young men appear not far away.

One of them was precisely Wei Shang.

“Young Master Wei, what do you mean by your words just now? Are you perhaps planning to attack me in the arena?”

Noticing their ill-intentioned gaze, she instinctively asked.

Wei Shang did not answer, but snapped his fingers, and the ground beneath the young girl suddenly exploded. Clusters of red smoke erupted, rapidly enveloping her body.

“Cough, cough, cough.”

The pungent gas filled her nostrils, and Lu Yichan felt uncomfortable all over, coughing violently.

“What is this? What did you bury?”

Enduring the discomfort, she questioned sharply.

Wei Shang smiled wickedly, “This is Lustful Woman Powder. An ordinary person, upon smelling even a little, will have their mind confused and their desires ignited. And this time, I’ve released a hundred times the dosage. The consequences, there’s no need for me to say more, right?”

“What!?”

Lu Yichan’s face was filled with horror!

Although she had never encountered such a thing, she had heard rumors before that many pure women, after being affected by Lustful Woman Powder, quickly experienced its effects and became like bitches who only knew how to mate.

Was she also going to become like that?

The thought of herself in heat, swaying her hips and begging for pleasure, made her feel like she was going to collapse.

Moreover, the other party had used a hundred times the dosage; the consequences were simply unimaginable!

“Despicable! Shameless! I saw you looking cultured and refined before, but I never expected you to be such a beast in human clothing!”

Lu Yichan cursed loudly, and at the same time, pulled out a blue Talisman from her embrace, intending to crush it and leave.

Doing so meant her competition journey would end here, and with Lin Yuan’s efficiency in killing Yao Beasts alone, he would certainly be out of contention for the championship.

But facing the threat of these two beasts, she had no other choice.

Seeing this, Wei Shang’s lips curved into a sneering arc, “Miss Lu, Lustful Woman Powder not only ignites a person’s desires but also reduces their physical strength. With your Condensing Core Realm cultivation, after being hit with such a large dosage, there’s absolutely no possibility of you exerting any strength.”
