196: Beautiful body, gorgeous feathers, only for Gu Qing to touch

"How is it? Has the curse been cleared?"

As soon as Lin Xuan emerged, Yan Hongluo eagerly asked.

Her fox-like eyes scanned Lin Xuan up and down, a hint of surprise flashing within them.

"Don't worry, a mere curse cannot harm me."

Lin Xuan smiled faintly, his expression calm and unconcerned, as if the person who had been frantic just moments ago wasn't him.

Looking at Yan Hongluo, a flicker of admiration appeared in Lin Xuan's eyes.

As expected of a fox spirit.

Her figure was graceful and exquisite, not an ounce too much or too little; her flesh had cleverly grown precisely where it was most desired.

A cascade of sparkling silver hair fell to her slender, easily grasped waist.

Her captivating fox eyes were clear and bright, distinct in black and white, like an innocent and pure maiden.

Yet, the upturned corners of her eyes gave her an allure that was both pure and seductive.

Especially her two fluffy fox ears and nine voluminous, snow-white fox tails—they were simply a man-slaying artifact.

What was even more stunning were her two fair, straight long legs, half-hidden and half-revealed by the split in her skirt, appearing and disappearing tantalizingly.

The sweep of her fluffy fox tail seemed to steal one's very soul.

And that magnetic, high-pitched voice was truly unbearable.

"That's good then."

Yan Hongluo breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Lin Xuan staring at her, a blush rose on her jade-like cheeks.

"Lin Xuan Gege, have you perhaps come to a realization?"

"A realization about what?" Lin Xuan was taken aback, asking, not understanding.

"It's just... that..." Yan Hongluo's expression was shy.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan understood. He rubbed his nose and said with a wry smile, "Hongluo, my lifelong ambition is the Great Dao of Longevity. Romantic entanglements are but fleeting clouds to me. I've always regarded you as a younger sister."

He knew Yan Hongluo loved him deeply and had always wanted to have a litter of little foxes with him.

Fortunately, his Dao Heart was firm, otherwise, he might have truly fallen for this fox spirit, Yan Hongluo.

"When boys are out and about, they must also protect themselves..." Lin Xuan thought smugly.

He was determined to pass through a garden of a thousand flowers without a single petal clinging to him.

Although Yan Hongluo was the epitome of pure seduction, and when silent, she exuded a queenly aura, he would not abandon the entire forest for one tree.

"It's 'younger sister' again..." She had lost count of how many times she had heard this phrase.

Yan Hongluo was deeply disappointed.

Ever since the fox tribe of Qingqiu Mountain was annihilated, her greatest hope in this life was to bear a litter of fox cubs to continue their lineage.

Lin Xuan was her most favored candidate, and he had saved her life. To pledge herself to him had always been her wish, but unfortunately, Lin Xuan always treated her as a younger sister.

The words "younger sister" had completely blocked all her paths.

It seemed she could only choose someone else.

Gu Qing was an excellent choice.

He was exceptionally handsome, unparalleled in talent, and a young man full of vigor.

"Hongluo."

Seeing Yan Hongluo's disappointed expression, lost in thought, Lin Xuan assumed she was sad and upset, and a look of guilt appeared on his face.

"I'm sorry, but love cannot be forced. A twisted melon isn't sweet. I truly only have brother-sister affection for you."

"Mhm."

Yan Hongluo forced a smile; now, hearing the words "younger sister" made her feel nauseous.

She had completely given up any thoughts of Lin Xuan.

"Hmph!"

Hongluan, standing nearby, couldn't help but let out a cold snort, seeing Lin Xuan's feigned sincerity.

Her disgust for Lin Xuan had reached its peak.

She simply didn't believe that any man wouldn't be moved by Yan Hongluo.

If Lin Xuan wasn't moved, he was simply a psychologically twisted pervert.

Any normal person wouldn't treat a beautiful confidante as a younger sister.

But this was also good.

This way, she could collude with her Master to deceive Gu Qing of his wealth, his body, and his babies.

"What are you laughing at?"

Lin Xuan looked at her playfully, a cynical smile on his lips.

"Little Hongluan, do you also want to be my younger sister?"

"Ptooey!"

Hongluan spat, her peach blossom eyes showing disgust.

"Hehe."

Lin Xuan shrugged indifferently, his smile undiminished.

He thought Hongluan was just a sharp-tongued, soft-hearted little demoness.

Even if she outwardly disliked him, whenever he was troubled by those ants, she always stepped forward to defend him immediately.

This was truly an Tsundere (arrogant yet adorable) little Hongluan.

Thinking this, Lin Xuan's gaze towards Hongluan was filled with doting affection. He reached out, intending to give Hongluan a head pat.

"What are you doing?"

Hongluan dodged, glaring at Lin Xuan, her heart filled with irritation.

It wasn't the first time Lin Xuan had tried to pat her head. Fortunately, she had disliked Lin Xuan from the very beginning, and she had dodged all of his head pats.

Otherwise, if even a single strand of her hair were touched, she would feel disgusted.

Her beautiful body and brilliant feathers were only for Gu Qing to touch.

No, not even for Gu Qing to touch.

She was going to play with Gu Qing, not let Gu Qing play with her.

This was different.

"Hehe!" Lin Xuan awkwardly retracted his hand, saying with a wry smile, "Little Hongluan, why are you dodging? Your Master won't eat you."

"Stop with the nonsense. Don't cause me any more trouble in the future. I will no longer meddle in your and your disciple's affairs," Hongluan said coldly.

When she acknowledged Lin Xuan as her Master, she had already made it clear that it was merely a formality, a master-disciple title without the actual relationship.

Before, she had helped Lin Xuan only for the sake of divine artifacts, divine medicines, and Yan Hongluo.

But that sentiment had already been completely eroded by Lin Xuan.

"Rest assured, your Master has always been one to not offend unless provoked," Lin Xuan said calmly, his tone placid.

Here we go again... Hongluan felt a wave of exhaustion.

Every time she told Lin Xuan not to cause trouble, Lin Xuan always said the same thing, leaving her speechless.

Forget it. Let Lin Xuan do whatever he wants. His brain and limbs are his own; she couldn't control him.

"I hope you live up to your word and don't stir up any more trouble," Hongluan said, her gaze stern.

She was determined that if Lin Xuan and his disciples caused trouble again, she would handle it strictly according to the rules.

"Alright, alright, alright, your Master promises you, is that good enough?" Lin Xuan said with a wry smile. Was he the kind of person who caused trouble?

Killing the elder of the Original Demon Sect? That was merely the elder bullying the young, trying to attack his disciple.

And taking disciples? It was a matter of mutual consent; could that be called snatching?

Everything he did was merely self-defense.

Why didn't Hongluan believe him?

"By the way, where are those new disciples I took in?" Lin Xuan then remembered that his newly taken disciples had been taken to mine.

He wondered if Hongluan had rescued them.

"Who knows?"

Hongluan rolled her eyes, too lazy to bother with Lin Xuan. Whoever wanted to deal with this messy situation could; Lin Xuan's disciples' lives or deaths were none of her concern.

Lin Xuan frowned, releasing his divine sense to scan the mining area.

He saw that in the collapsed mine shaft, the bodies of those several talented youths, who hadn't yet had the chance to formally acknowledge him as Master, had been crushed flat, a horrific sight.

Lin Xuan's face instantly darkened, and a monstrous killing intent surged within his heart.

"Oh, Gu Qing is coming."

Just as Lin Xuan was about to erupt, Hongluan became ecstatic.

Hearing this, Lin Xuan's expression froze. He no longer cared who had killed his disciples; his temples throbbed.

A terrifying thought flashed through his mind: Hongluan couldn't have fallen in love with Gu Qing at first sight, could she?

No, no, it couldn't be!

Lin Xuan shook his head frantically.

Hongluan was a favored daughter of heaven; she wouldn't be so vulgar as to like Gu Qing, knowing he already had a Dao Companion.

"Master, let's go. We'll welcome him together."

Hongluan didn't even glance at Lin Xuan. She pulled Yan Hongluo and left without looking back.

At the same time, she sent a message, summoning the entire sect to come out and greet him.

After all, Gu Qing's status was evident; no amount of grandeur would be excessive.

Lin Xuan's eyes flickered, and he followed them out.

For some reason, he had a premonition that this curse might be related to Gu Qing.

Even if it wasn't related to Gu Qing, he still wanted to go and see what Gu Qing's purpose was in coming to the Original Demon Sect this time.

Moreover, he and Gu Qing had a deep-seated blood feud.

If he could capture Gu Qing, perhaps he wouldn't have to wait another year. Zhi Meng would surely be willing to exchange Xue Qianqian and Yu Shuang's divine souls with him.

"Gu Divine Child is coming to our Original Demon Sect?"

"Quickly, let's go."

Upon receiving this news, the Original Demon Sect members were ecstatic.

Although the Original Demon Sect was a top immortal Dao Lineage with a long heritage, with an ancient and immortal Divine Fire Realm ancestor presiding over it, dominating the Moro Continent, it couldn't compare to the Star God Temple.

If they could befriend Gu Qing, it would be a tremendous blessing for the entire Original Demon Sect.

"I wonder who Gu Divine Child is coming for."

"It should be the Vice Sect Master. She befriended Gu Divine Child a while ago, and perhaps he has taken a liking to our Vice Sect Master."

"Are you saying that Gu Divine Child is coming this time to propose marriage to our Vice Sect Master?"

"It's possible."

Everyone discussed animatedly, but when it came to the possibility of Hongluan marrying Gu Qing, they all fell silent.

Everyone looked up at Hongluan, who stood in the center of the crowd, wearing a fiery red, floor-length gown, exquisitely enchanting and beautiful, like a femme fatale who could bring disaster to the world.

One glance was enough to ignite desire and be unforgettable for life.

Such an unparalleled enchantress was desired by everyone, disciples and elders alike.

Unfortunately, everyone could only dream.

Because Hongluan, though seemingly alluring to the core, was actually cold and ruthless, rejecting all suitors.

Over time, they gave up, simply considering the goddess to be everyone's.

However, now, the unparalleled enchantress who belonged to everyone was about to become someone else's. Just thinking about it brought a sense of suffocation.

Fortunately, a silver lining in the misfortune.

Without Hongluan, there was still Yan Hongluo.

Everyone's gaze was involuntarily drawn to Yan Hongluo.

Although she wore a veil and had hidden her fox tail and ears, her extraordinary grace remained undeniable.

A luxurious gown accentuated her graceful figure.

Her sparkling silver hair fluttered, like an immortal banished from heaven, untouched by dust, so beautiful as to be unreal, as if she could ascend at any moment.

"I heard Gu Divine Child's talent is unparalleled in the world and he's exceptionally handsome. Is it true?"

"Of course."

"I have a portrait of him. Gu Divine Child is simply like a divine being."

"If only I could become Gu Divine Child's concubine."

"You? Being a maid is more like it."

"I'd even be willing to be a maid."

The female disciples of the Original Demon Sect were excited, eagerly anticipating Gu Qing's arrival.

Some female cultivators, who considered themselves somewhat attractive, even took out mirrors to touch up their makeup and stood in the most conspicuous positions.

If they were noticed by Gu Qing, it would be the greatest fortune of their lives.

"Hmph, a bunch of common women."

Lin Xuan scoffed at the sight.

These women were too vulgar.

Instead of cultivating diligently, they willingly debased themselves, single-mindedly wanting to climb the social ladder. With such a mindset, their future achievements were destined to be limited.

Unlike his little Hongluan, whose Dao Heart was firm and who would not bow down to power or wealth.

Thinking this, a smile played on Lin Xuan's lips.

Just now, he had worried that Hongluan might fall in love with Gu Qing at first sight, but now, seeing Hongluan standing calmly in place, he was instantly relieved.

Hongluan's earlier joy was probably due to Gu Qing's status, and the cooperation between their sects would bring immense benefits to the Original Demon Sect.
