260: Operation begins

Several hours later.

Peace finally returned to the Cultivation Hall.

Xiao Ziyue's eyes were tightly shut as she sat cross-legged on the jade bed. Her Immortal robes were intact but had long been soaked through with sweat, clinging to her delicate skin. Her beautiful figure was faintly visible beneath the thin layer of fabric.

Finally, unable to bear the pleasure of soaring to the clouds any longer, her purple eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the spot.

Su Quan, on the other hand, was in much better condition. His face was flushed, and he slowly stood up to change into a clean, neat azure dharma robe. After settling Xiao Ziyue, he pushed open the hall door and walked outside.

Caught off guard, Xiao Qingyue stumbled and nearly fell into the young man's arms.

"Sister Qingyue, you... why are you here?" Su Quan's tone was a bit strange.

"I, I was worried you two would start arguing, so I thought I'd wait outside!"

Xiao Qingyue's pretty face was embarrassed. She came up with an excuse on the spur of the moment and quickly turned her face to the side; she didn't want Su Quan to know she had been hiding outside the hall door eavesdropping the whole time.

"Sister Qingyue, you were worried for nothing. There was just a misunderstanding between Sister Ziyue and me, but as long as we talked it out, everything is fine!" Su Quan smiled slightly.

"If that's the case, then that's for the best!"

Xiao Qingyue readjusted her emotions, and her pretty face returned to its usual cold and dignified expression.

She furrowed her willow-leaf brows and asked tentatively, "Xiao Quan, were you two... intimate inside just now? What about your position as Saint?"

Although it seemed inappropriate to be concerned about the intimate affairs between her younger sister and brother-in-law, she really wanted to know, and the sour jealousy rising in her heart nearly brought her to tears.

"Yes and no!"

Su Quan looked calm. Meeting the girl's cold gaze, he explained, "Sister Ziyue and I just performed a union of Divine Souls. As long as the essence-guarding sand on my body remains unbroken, it will not affect my status as Saint!"

After saying this, he even rolled up the sleeve of his right arm.

Sure enough, on that patch of fair skin, an extremely alluring pink dot, symbolizing purity and beauty, was revealed. Such a seductive sight made Xiao Qingyue's legs tremble involuntarily again.

Strictly speaking, Su Quan had actually experienced intimacy with women several times back in the mortal realm.

But after recasting his flawless Immortal body, his essence-guarding sand and the first wisp of blood essence were also restored.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyue revealed a pleasant smile: "That's great!"

But she immediately realized her reaction was a bit undignified and quickly added, "That way, there's no need to worry about Xiao Quan being punished by the Sect. If a Sect Saint loses his virginity without the permission of the Sect Leader, he would be punished by being sent to the Cliff of Extreme Ice to meditate for five years."

The Cliff of Extreme Ice was also a famous place of punishment within the Hehuan Sacred Sect. Although not as cruel as the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, even an ordinary Nine Heavens Profound Immortal would lose a layer of skin upon entering.

"If I can be with Sister Ziyue, what does it matter if I spend five years at the Cliff of Extreme Ice?" Su Quan chuckled.

Looking at the expression on his face, he was just like a lovesick fool; there was no trace of an Immortal's demeanor left.

As the saying goes, "There are eighty thousand words in the world, but only the word 'love' is the most hurtful." Even those as strong as an Immortal Lord or Immortal King, as long as they cannot sever their seven emotions and six desires, they cannot escape the shackles of love.

The jealousy in Xiao Qingyue's beautiful eyes flashed and vanished. She forced a smile and said, "Xiao Quan, you must never do such a foolish thing. I believe my younger sister certainly wouldn't want to see you suffer at the Cliff of Extreme Ice."

Then she immediately asked, "Xiao Quan, are you planning to stay at Dream Spirit Peak for a while this time?"

"Yes, things haven't been peaceful within the Sect lately, and there are too many outside forces, so I'm thinking of staying at Dream Spirit Peak for a month first." Su Quan smiled slightly.

Xiao Qingyue still wanted to maintain her cold demeanor, but the curve of her cherry lips, which she couldn't help but widen, had already betrayed her mood.

Of course, she knew that with the connection of her younger sister, it was unlikely that anything would happen between her and Su Quan, but sometimes love is just like that; as long as she could catch a glimpse from afar, she would feel very happy.

...And so, Su Quan temporarily settled down at Dream Spirit Peak.

The time spent cultivating each day was very short, and most of the time was spent being intimate and playing with Xiao Ziyue. Occasionally, Xiao Qingyue would also shamelessly join in, and the days passed by peacefully and warmly.

But because of Su Quan's different status now, he was destined not to live a peaceful life.

Dream Spirit Peak, which had gradually faded from the public eye after the Dream Spirit Immortal King was suppressed, now had the presence of various faction spies surrounding it because of Su Quan.

The most anxious of them all was Xu Juanmei from Peach Blossom Island.

"What do you mean? That little vixen is still staying at Dream Spirit Peak? It's already been almost a month!"

Cui Shennian kept shouting in the main hall: "Does he not know the rules of our Hehuan Dao Sect? If this continues, I'm afraid a child will be born soon!"

Don't let his fierce shouting fool you; he was actually secretly delighted.

Because he had previously been intimate with multiple women, he was always called a "used shoe" by Xu Juanmei. Now, if Su Quan also lost his virginity to The Xiao Sisters, presumably his status in Xu Juanmei's heart would also be greatly lowered.

Xu Juanmei's face was gloomy as she sat on the main seat, barely managing to suppress her emotions: "Wang Tonghua, have you noticed whether Su Quan and that woman Xiao Ziyue have actually been intimate?"

"I haven't seen the specific situation very clearly, but the two of them have indeed been living in the same hall day and night," Wang Tonghua said immediately.

"They must have been intimate. With that little vixen's seductive appearance, what woman could resist such temptation?" Cui Shennian said with certainty.

Xu Juanmei closed her eyes, her fingers tapping on the armrest, not knowing what she was contemplating.

After a long while, a fierce look flashed in her pupils, and she said, "Immediately send someone to pass down the order, saying that there are important matters in the Sect that need to be discussed, and tell Su Quan to rush to Peach Blossom Island immediately!"

No matter how far those two had gone, her top priority now was to separate them first.

"Okay, I'll go pass the message right away!" Wang Tonghua said.

The descendant of a dignified Immortal King had directly become a lackey in front of this Saintess.

Until the woman left, Xu Juanmei immediately stood up and asked, "Cui Shennian, has that precious medicinal herb arrived?"

"It has arrived, with 260,000 years of medicinal potency, air-shipped urgently by the Green Light Flood Dragon." Cui Shennian said.

"That is good. Prepare to act tonight; the longer we wait, the more variables will arise!"

Xu Juanmei snorted coldly and said, "In a while, when Su Quan arrives, if he has truly lost his essence-guarding sand, then this Saintess won't bother being polite with him; I'll just take him down!"

"If he hasn't lost his essence-guarding sand, then bring that precious medicinal herb over, and then you go find a reason to call Xiao Ziyue... no, call Xiao Qingyue over!"

"If we can use this opportunity to eliminate The Xiao Sisters, that would be for the best!"

Upon hearing this, Cui Shennian immediately lowered his head, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and said, "Understood, I'll go prepare right away!"
