43: Chapter 43 A Perfect Physique Delivered to Your Door? Liu Ruyan, the Professional Scumbag Girl in Short Dramas?

Outside the gates of the Hehuan Sect.

A group of haggard-looking Cultivators were waiting outside the mountain gate.

The leader was a white-haired old man, only at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and his aura was chaotic, obviously having suffered heavy injuries.

Behind him followed over a dozen clansmen at the Qi Refinement Stage, each looking like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow; some were even missing arms or legs, looking extremely miserable.

When Wang Yang appeared with the three women, the old man trembled all over and immediately led his clansmen to kowtow heavily:

"Greetings, Senior of the Upper Sect!"

"Junior Liu Qingshan, leading the remnants of the Liu Family, kowtows to thank the Upper Sect for destroying the Liuyun Sect and avenging the blood feud of my Liu Family!"

Wang Yang swept a glance over them and said indifferently: "Get up and speak. Does your Liu Family have a grudge against the Liuyun Sect?"

The old man, tears streaming down his face, stood up shakily:

"Reporting to the Immortal Master, my Liu Family was originally a cultivation Family near the Liuyun Sect, and our days were relatively peaceful."

"But in these past few years, that Liuyun Sect Master, Zhao Liuyun, found out from somewhere that my granddaughter possesses the special [Mystic Yin Cauldron Body]!"

"[Mystic Yin Cauldron Body]?"

Upon hearing this term, Ye Qingcheng and Su Qingge behind Wang Yang looked at each other, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

This Physique is extremely rare in the cultivation world; it is a natural treasure for Dual Cultivation!

A woman possessing this Physique Cultivates at an extremely fast speed, and her primordial Yin is rich.

If a man engages in Dual Cultivation with her, he can not only ignore the Bottleneck of his Realm but also greatly purify his spiritual power!

It is simply a human-shaped pill for breaking through!

The old man continued to cry and complain:

"To snatch my granddaughter to use as a cauldron, that Zhao Liuyun forced my Liu Family to hand her over. Unwilling to send a sheep into the tiger's mouth, I took my clansmen and fled overnight."

"For these three years, the Liuyun Sect has pursued us relentlessly. Our Family's Cultivators have been killed or injured, and we could only hide here and there, living like rats. Even my son and daughter-in-law died at their hands!"

"Until yesterday, when we heard of the Upper Sect's Divine Might, which wiped out the Liuyun Sect in one fell swoop! And killed that wicked thief, Zhao Liuyun!"

"We... only then dared to come out to see the light of day!"

Finishing this, the old man knelt down again, his expression resolute:

"The Immortal Master's great kindness is something the Liu Family cannot repay!"

"Now that the Liu Family has nowhere to go, we only ask that the Upper Sect take us in! Even if it means being servants or slaves, as long as we have a place to live, we are willing!"

"Also..."

The old man turned around and shouted to a carriage behind him:

"Ruyan, hurry up and come out to pay respects to our benefactor!"

The carriage curtain was lifted.

A woman wearing plain white linen clothes and a veil over her face walked down slowly.

Although her attire was simple, even a bit dirty, the moment she took off her veil, the air seemed to go quiet.

It was a face of peerless beauty, though not as domineering and stunning as Ye Qingcheng, nor as cold and immortal-like as Su Qingge, but it possessed a fragile and pure quality that made one feel pity at first sight. Especially those eyes, filled with tears and timid, making one want to take her into their arms and protect her.

Liu Ruyan.

The eldest Young Miss of the Liu Family, rumored to possess the [Mystic Yin Cauldron Body].

(Author: The number one "scum girl" villain in short dramas—scummy, but beautiful! Let's make her a positive character this time, haha!)

She walked in front of Wang Yang and bowed gracefully, her voice like an oriole emerging from a valley, but carrying a trace of trembling:

"Little woman Liu Ruyan, greets the benefactor."

"If the benefactor does not mind... Ruyan is willing... willing to serve by the benefactor's side, as a slave or maid, to repay this great kindness."

Just at this moment, the long-lost System prompt sounded in Wang Yang's mind.

[Ding! Detected a top-tier Dao Companion candidate!]

[Name: Liu Ruyan]

[Physique: Mystic Yin Cauldron Body (S-Rank)]

[Appearance: 96 points]

[Current Status: Extremely lacking in a sense of security, longing to rely on the strong.]

[Recruitment Suggestion: I don't need to teach you this, right? Meat delivered to your door—you'd be a fool not to eat it!]

Wang Yang's heart skipped a beat.

A real stroke of luck!

I was just worrying that my fourth wife had no leads, and now someone has delivered themselves to my door?

And she even has this top-tier auxiliary Physique? Although it doesn't seem to be of much use to me!

"System, tell me, was this arranged by you?" Wang Yang grumbled to the System in his heart.

But on the surface, he had to maintain the dignity of a Sect Master.

"Ahem." Wang Yang cleared his throat, "Since you are sincere in defecting, this Seat will accept you."

"May I ask the honorable title of the Upper Sect?" Liu Qingshan asked cautiously.

Wang Yang waved his fan and said indifferently:

"This Sect is called—the Hehuan Sect."

"He... Hehuan Sect?!"

Upon hearing these three words, Liu Qingshan and the clansmen behind him turned deathly pale, as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

"The... the demonic Hehuan Sect from eight hundred years ago?!"

Liu Qingshan was trembling so hard that his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

It's over!

Just escaped the tiger's den, only to enter the wolf's lair!

Although that Liuyun Sect was hateful, they at least wore the skin of the Righteous Path.

This Hehuan Sect is the legendary demon's lair that specializes in harvesting Cultivators and absorbing their essence!

"Senior! Immortal Master! Spare us!"

Liu Qingshan hugged Wang Yang's thigh and began to wail:

"Although we want to repay your kindness, but... but our Ruyan is physically weak and cannot withstand the harvesting!"

"Please let Ruyan go, Senior! As long as you don't use her as a cauldron and drain her dry, our Liu Family is willing to be beasts of burden!"

Looking at this scene, Wang Yang was a bit speechless.

Why is the reputation of the Hehuan Sect so foul outside?

He was just about to explain.

But he saw Liu Ruyan, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly look up. In those originally timid eyes, a strange light flashed.

She looked at Wang Yang's handsome and extraordinary face, and then looked at the three women behind him who were also peerless beauties, yet all glowing with radiance and possessing profound Cultivation.

She bit her lip, as if she had made a certain decision.

"Grandfather, stop begging."

Liu Ruyan suddenly spoke, her voice weak but carrying an inexplicable firmness.

"Ruyan... is willing to be harvested by the benefactor!"

"What?!" Liu Qingshan was dumbfounded, "Ruyan, what nonsense are you spouting? That is harvesting! You will die!"

Liu Ruyan looked at Wang Yang, her eyes misting over, but carrying a trace of resoluteness and... anticipation:

"Grandfather, for these past three years, we have been hiding and fleeing; I am truly tired of this life!"

"Instead of being captured by those evil Cultivators who look like pigs, it is better to give myself to the benefactor!"

"Also..."

Liu Ruyan looked at Wang Yang shyly, her little face flushed:

"The benefactor is so good-looking, and his strength is so great, even if it is a demonic Sect... he probably won't be too rough, right?"

"As long as the benefactor can protect the Liu Family and stop Father and the clansmen from suffering, Ruyan... Ruyan gives this body to the benefactor!"

This reversal left everyone present stunned.

Even Wang Yang was taken aback for a moment.

Good heavens!

This girl looks weak, but she's a looks-maxxer + pragmatist?

And this "I don't want to work hard anymore" mentality is quite high!

"Ahem!"

Wang Yang coughed lightly, hands behind his back, trying his best to maintain his image as an expert:

"Family Master Liu, you are overthinking it."

"My Hehuan Sect Cultivates the Dao of Yin and Yang, not that kind of low-level evil harvesting technique. This Seat never forces anyone, and will never drain anyone dry."

As he said this, he looked at Liu Ruyan and waved his hand, a gentle spiritual power helping her up, and incidentally, he touched her little hand.

Smooth, the texture was excellent.

"Liu Ruyan, your Aptitude is not bad, and your Physique is special."

"It just so happens that this Sect Master feels the Sect is a bit cold recently, and we are still missing a... ahem, still missing a Disciple who is devoted to the Dao."

Wang Yang almost forgot the System's twisted sense of humor—take her as a Disciple first, then take her into the bedroom!

"Liu Ruyan, are you willing to take me as your master?"

Liu Ruyan's body trembled, she looked up at the handsome, unfathomable young Sect Master before her, a flash of surprise in her eyes.

Originally, she had thought that if the benefactor were old and ugly, she would say "I will be a beast of burden in the next life to repay you," but she didn't expect him to be so handsome!

He's almost as good as the vast number of readers!

Is this the expert who wiped out Zhao Liuyun?

If she could rely on him... perhaps, she really wouldn't have to live in fear anymore.

"But, why is it taking me as a Disciple? Has my charm decreased? Or does the benefactor look down on my Qi Refinement Stage Cultivation?" Liu Ruyan sighed inwardly, feeling a bit disappointed.

But being able to take him as a master is also excellent!

With wild thoughts, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she bowed gracefully again:

"Ruyan... is willing."

"Good!"

Wang Yang was ecstatic inside, but on the surface, he remained calm:

"Since that is the case, from today on, Liu Ruyan joins my Hehuan Sect, becoming the Second Disciple of the Hehuan Sect, ranked below Senior Sister Lin Xiaowan."

"The Liu Family is now an affiliated Family of my Hehuan Sect, under the protection of my Sect!"

"Xiao Wan, take the others of the Liu Family to settle down at the foot of the mountain."

"As for Ruyan..."

Wang Yang's mouth curled into a meaningful smile, his gaze sweeping over her weak figure:

"You come with me; this Sect Master needs to personally examine your... Physique."

"After all, this [Mystic Yin Cauldron Body], this Seat is seeing for the first time; I must study it carefully."
