8: Chapter 0008 Drawing a Pie in the Sky

Passing through the stone gate.

The attic was exquisitely decorated, with an antique charm.

"It hasn't been three months yet, I am still Senior Sister Qin's person. Please respect this result, Senior Sister."

Gu Huan was neither willing to be manipulated by Zhou Guanlian nor did he want to die in a muddle. Regardless of whether Qin Yao eventually returned, at least during this period, he still belonged to her.

"Bringing up Qin Yao to bluff me? Do you think I'd be afraid?"

"I don't know if you're afraid, but you certainly wouldn't dare to seize me by force in front of her, Senior Sister."

Gu Huan knew this perfectly well.

If Zhou Guanlian didn't fear Qin Yao, she wouldn't have waited for her to disappear before causing trouble.

No matter which Sect one belonged to, a powerful cultivation base was always an effective weapon to deter others.

"You..."

Zhou Guanlian's face turned black with anger, and she didn't respond.

Qin Yao was among the best of the Outer Sect Disciples, a Genius with hopes of Foundation Establishment. Zhou Guanlian feared her on the surface but was resentful in her heart, often causing her trouble.

Like Gu Huan.

If she could take him for herself or pluck his primordial yang, it would definitely slow down Qin Yao's cultivation progress.

Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed in Zhou Guanlian's mind, and she let out a soft laugh.

“Hehe! I was wrong, I was wrong.”

“Why should I keep babbling on with long-winded talk? Anyway, since Qin Yao isn't here, I'll just pluck you by force. Could you even resist?”

On the surface, Gu Huan only had a cultivation of the fourth level of Qi Refining.

In Zhou Guanlian's eyes, he was a low-level Cultivator she could handle at will.

“You like to bring up Qin Yao to pressure me? Then today, in her Immortal Cave and on her bed, I will pluck you as I please, hehehe!”

The seductive laughter reached his ears.

Gu Huan only felt his mind go blank.

This was the nature of a Hehuan Enchantress, truly audacious in her lust.

“Mm-hmm, what are you still dazing for? Come and be happy with me!”

A seductive fragrance filled his nose, and a soft, burning body slipped into Gu Huan's arms at some point. In a trance, he felt himself enveloped in endless tenderness, soft and infinitely smooth.

“Come, let’s go to the room.”

“My skin is so fragrant and smooth, you can touch it however you like... Hmm?”

Zhou Guanlian was full of herself, but just as she led Gu Huan forward a few steps, a massive resistance forced her to stop. She looked back to see a face as handsome as crown jade, with deep, calm black eyes and a hint of contempt.

“This is your Charm Technique, Senior Sister?”

“My Revered Master doesn't even try to show off, and her effects are better than yours.”

The implication was clear.

Zhou Guanlian, who was actively using Charm Techniques, was inferior even to the reserved Qin Yao.

For a Hehuan Enchantress, the charm to seduce men was undoubtedly their top priority. If someone attacked that charm, it was equivalent to denying her entire existence.

“You dare to humiliate me.”

Zhou Guanlian was truly enraged, her killing intent surging.

A mere Cauldron who still didn't know his place and dared to humiliate her—killing him was no big deal.

Without needing any fancy Spells, she raised her jade palm with lightning speed and struck at Gu Huan's forehead with all her cultivation. Given the huge gap in their cultivation, the latter's head would surely split open.

However.

In a blind spot she had ignored.

A ferocious Purple Flood Dragon coiled in Gu Huan's palm, its killing intent fixed on her heart.

If Zhou Guanlian dared to strike a lethal blow, Gu Huan would definitely strike down the defenseless her first.

“Stop!”

“Killing fellow Disciples is strictly forbidden within the Sect.”

A thunderous feminine shout suddenly came from outside the Immortal Cave, causing both their pupils to shake and leaving them in a momentary daze.

By the time Gu Huan and Zhou Guanlian regained their senses, a woman with a voluptuous figure and a beautiful face had quietly landed between them, quickly separating the two.

Seeing this person's face.

Gu Huan couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.

The person stopping them was none other than the Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had abducted him to the Hehuan Sect that day.

In an instant, his vigilance shot up to his throat. The Extreme Concealment Technique could not hide anything from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator; his true cultivation was about to be exposed.

“Hmm?”

Hall Master Su Hongyun swept a glance at Gu Huan, her pretty face involuntarily changing with shock before quickly returning to normal.

She turned to face Zhou Guanlian, her elegant face tinged with anger.

“Martial Niece Zhou, why were you trying to kill him?”

Hearing this.

Gu Huan was secretly surprised. With Hall Master Su Hongyun's cultivation, there was no reason she couldn't see that Zhou Guanlian was the one closest to death just now. Between a Cauldron and a Hehuan Disciple, she actually chose to stand on his side?

Something was fishy!

“Reporting to Junior Martial Uncle, this person is ungrateful and has repeatedly offended me. Please be the judge.”

It was Zhou Guanlian's usual trick: tears came on command as she acted pitiful to gain sympathy.

Hall Master Su Hongyun didn't believe her at all.

“Nonsense. This is Martial Niece Qin's Immortal Cave. Your unauthorized intrusion is already a sign of disrespect, and your attempt to kill her Cauldron is an act of irreverence. If you leave now, I can let it go. If the Enforcement Hall gets involved, you know what the consequences will be.”

“I understand, I'll leave immediately.”

Zhou Guanlian was in the wrong to begin with, so she naturally didn't want to alert the Enforcement Hall.

She gave Gu Huan a resentful glare and walked out of the Immortal Cave with her head held high, as if nothing had happened.

Having dismissed Zhou Guanlian, Hall Master Su Hongyun immediately lowered the stone gate and cast a Restriction to isolate the noise from inside and outside. Gu Huan waited calmly, knowing that if she wanted to kill him, there was no need for all these trivialities.

After setting everything up.

Hall Master Su Hongyun turned back to scrutinize Gu Huan seriously.

Similarly, Gu Huan was also scrutinizing this culprit, his mood somewhat complicated.

Hall Master Su Hongyun had certainly not been well-intentioned when she abducted him to the Hehuan Sect, but by a stroke of luck, he had awakened the reversal system instead. Fate truly played tricks on people!

But then again.

Hall Master Su Hongyun was mature and voluptuous, truly having a unique charm.

Her purple palace dress highlighted her elegance; her exquisite features were healthy and beautiful, her smile was gentle and moving, and her figure was seductive and fiery. While showing off her graceful curves, she also fully displayed her stunning assets.

“If I remember correctly, you come from the Qingling Sect and have been a Cauldron for about two months?”

“Yes. May I ask what you intend to do, Senior?”

Hall Master Su Hongyun blinked her beautiful eyes, appreciating Gu Huan's composure.

She walked over with graceful steps and sat on a stool, her long white legs under the skirt fully visible as she nodded confidently.

“My name is Su Hongyun, the Hall Revered Master of the Hehuan Sect's Auction Hall. You may call me Hall Master Su.”

“I will ask and you will answer. If there is even a hint of falsehood, you will surely die without a place to be buried.”

Gu Huan pondered for a moment and sighed softly.

With his current cultivation, he couldn't defeat a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. It was better to endure for now.

“Please ask, Hall Master Su. I will tell you everything I know.”

“Very good. Come here and sit beside me.”

Hall Master Su Hongyun patted the stool beside her. Gu Huan sensibly sat down, and a faint, exotic fragrance drifted into his nose, making him feel refreshed.

“What is your current cultivation?”

“Seventh level of Qi Refining.”

“Where did the Demonic Technique you Cultivate come from?”

“Qin Yao gave it to me. I've been cultivating it for over two months now.”

Hearing this, Hall Master Su Hongyun almost clapped in delight, her beautiful eyes shining with brilliance.

Her questions weren't deep, often stopping at the right point. After talking for a while, Hall Master Su Hongyun became increasingly satisfied with Gu Huan and suddenly looked back with a smile.

“Would you like to join the Hehuan Sect?”

“Join the Hehuan Sect? I'm afraid things aren't that simple!”

Gu Huan was in no hurry to agree. Hall Master Su Hongyun coming to find him personally definitely meant there was another hidden reason.

Hall Master Su Hongyun pursed her red lips. “Correct. I can recommend you to join my Revered Master's lineage, but there is one condition: you must be completely loyal to us!”

“Loyal to you?”

Gu Huan's heart tightened as he sensed a hint of internal corruption.

It seemed that the Hehuan Sect was not a monolithic entity.

“Yes. Your talent for the Demonic Path is good; it would be a pity to remain a Cauldron. If you are willing to work for us, Foundation Establishment and Core Formation are not impossible.”

“Well? Are you interested?”

Hall Master Su Hongyun's red lips curled into a smile, her eyes beautiful and moist, containing a seductive magic.

As a Hehuan Enchantress, suggesting Gu Huan sit close to her was naturally to make it easier for her to exert her charm.

A greenhorn who had just become a Cauldron often couldn't withstand her temptation and would agree in a daze.

However.

Gu Huan merely frowned.

Hall Master Su Hongyun's ability to paint a pie was truly mediocre; it didn't move him at all.
