82: Heavenly Sound Saintess

In the ancient forest, atop a giant tree, Ye Chen looked at the sun sacred fruit before him, his mouth watering.

“Good stuff! I finally got it!”

“I can’t believe I waited so long! It was he who helped me lure away the Nether Ghost Catfish!”

He said, chuckling to himself.

“You shouldn’t have offended him!”

“I told you, you should avoid his sharp edge. Offending him for a few fruits isn’t worth it.”

At this moment, the heaven swallowing pagoda spoke with displeasure.

She didn’t believe that Ye Chen, at this moment, was qualified to contend with the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo.

One must know, the other party was already in the Nirvana Realm!

How long had it been?!

Less than half a year, and he had already surpassed Ye Chen’s several years of arduous cultivation!

“The struggles of Cultivators have always been like this!”

“I didn’t ask him to lure away the Nether Ghost Catfish; he chose to do it himself. I merely took the Opportunity to pick the sun sacred fruit!”

Ye Chen retorted.

He had arrived earlier than Qin Wushang, but he resisted the temptation and didn’t act immediately.

It was Qin Wushang who couldn’t resist, creating an Opportunity for him!

He wasn’t to blame!

“But you shouldn’t have provoked him… And he originally only wanted to pick one; you interfered with him!”

“Ye Chen! You can deceive yourself, but you can’t deceive your heart, and you certainly can’t deceive me.”

“You’re jealous of him! He only participated in an assessment, and he has already advanced from the Divine Power Realm to the Nirvana Realm, catching up to you. You’re jealous, you’re afraid, you’re unwilling…”

“With the same experiences, his rise in speed is several times yours. You’re unconvinced, you’re displeased…”

Inside the heaven swallowing pagoda, a woman spoke coldly.

These were all facts!

“Enough!”

Ye Chen coldly shouted, striking the heaven swallowing pagoda with his palm.

Then he grabbed a sun sacred fruit and began to munch on it, sitting down to absorb its essence… at the lake!

A terrifying battle erupted here!

“Roar!”

Qin Wushang was covered in blood, manifesting his Kunpeng Dharma Image, and directly tore apart the Nether Ghost Catfish.

He grabbed its massive head, tearing it into two halves by force.

Soon!

By the lakeside, amidst the ruins, a raging fire burned.

The flesh of the Nether Ghost Catfish was roasting over the bonfire.

Qin Wushang sat nearby, toying with a smaller sun sacred fruit in his hand, popping it into his mouth like a candy bean.

At the same time, he activated the power of Nirvana liquid, beginning to refine his Primordial Spirit, preparing to break through to Great Nirvana.

The vast solar power and Nirvana Origin intertwined and clashed within his body, his Primordial Spirit felt as if it were being forged in divine fire, glowing crimson all over.

After half a day.

His tightly shut eyes suddenly snapped open, a sharp light like electricity flashing in his gaze, shooting directly towards a dark ancient forest behind him.

“Come out!”

“Rustle…”

Leaves rustled lightly, and a figure, dressed in an elegant long dress and holding a guqin, slowly walked out from the forest.

It was Lu Zhiyin, the Saintess of the Taiyuan Sacred Sect.

Her temperament was ethereal, her personality gentle, and she wore a faint smile on her face, looking very beautiful.

“Young Master Qin’s divine sense is keen. Zhiyin had just arrived, and a slight trace of her aura was detected. As expected of a Prodigy renowned throughout the Desolate Heaven Domain.”

Her gaze inadvertently swept over the golden-brown, oil-dripping, fragrant Nether Ghost Catfish meat and the two sun sacred fruits.

A flicker of almost imperceptible light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she lightly swallowed her saliva.

Qin Wushang was surprised!

The dignified Heavenly Sound Saintess seemed to be a foodie!

“The flesh of this Heavenly God Realm Great Demon contains its life essence and a portion of Dao principles; it is indeed a rare and great tonic.”

“I wonder if Zhiyin… might have the honor to ask Young Master for a small piece to taste?”

She couldn’t help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wushang’s lips curved into a playful smile, as he sized up Lu Zhiyin.

His undisguised gaze lingered on her slender figure and exquisite face.

“Oh? So Saintess Lu also enjoys this kind of wild game?”

He poked the bonfire with a branch, sending up a few sparks, and lazily said, “Well, I have a rule. This meat isn’t given away for free; it depends on the person.”

He deliberately paused, his smile carrying a hint of wickedness.

“If it’s a beauty like Saintess Lu… hmm, who is as delightful as a feast, wanting to eat meat is naturally not impossible.”

“However…”

Lu Zhiyin’s cheeks flushed slightly at his blatant gaze and suggestive words, and she softly said:

“Young Master, please speak.”

Qin Wushang chuckled, stood up, and moved closer, almost able to smell the faint orchid fragrance on her.

He lowered his voice, his tone ambiguous: “However, it depends on what Saintess you… plan to exchange it for?”

“Will you play a little tune for my enjoyment? Or… hmm, your legs are nice, quite fair.”

He drew out the end of his sentence, and his words, combined with his teasing gaze, made Lu Zhiyin’s cheeks instantly flush crimson like a sunset.

Her hands, holding the guqin, tightened slightly, and she turned away with some indignation, displeased: “Young Master Qin! Please, show some self-respect!”

“Self-respect?”

Qin Wushang shrugged, sat back down, and tore off a large piece of crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside catfish meat.

He took a bite, his mouth full of oil, and mumbled: “Then forget it, I’ll just enjoy it myself.”

Lu Zhiyin watched him devour the meat, smelling the enticing aroma, and struggled internally.

She wanted the meat, and she wanted the sun sacred fruit even more, as well as the wine Qin Wushang had poured out… To her, they were all fatal temptations!

“Can you play the flute?”

Qin Wushang turned his head, glanced at her, and asked again.

“Ah… I know a little…”

Lu Zhiyin paused, then subtly replied.

“I don’t think you know!”

Qin Wushang teased.

“I do know!”

“If you don’t believe me, I can play it for you to see!”

Lu Zhiyin retorted.

As the dignified Heavenly Sound Saintess, what kind of music could she not understand?

“Oh? Then would you play it for me?”

Qin Wushang said, spreading his legs apart.

“You… shameless!”

Lu Zhiyin froze for a moment, then said with extreme indignation.

It was hard to imagine that the guy whose name spread throughout the Desolate Heaven Domain was actually a lecher!

He was openly flirting with her like this!

“Alright! I won’t tease you anymore!”

“Your mouth is already watering, isn’t it!”

Qin Wushang withdrew his dissolute expression, threw out a sun sacred fruit, and then offered her a piece of roasted meat.

“Eat!”

He said, then got up to dig up the tree!

The Sun Divine Tree was very good, especially one grown so large. He had to uproot it and plant it in the Immortal Realm.

By the time he returned, the meat had already been eaten!

Lu Zhiyin patted her round belly, and upon seeing Qin Wushang, her face changed dramatically.

“Cough, cough, cough… Why do you walk without making a sound?!”

She said in a fluster, very embarrassed.

“I never expected the dignified Heavenly Sound Saintess to have such a side; it truly makes one sigh.”

Qin Wushang said with a smile.

Seemingly gentle and virtuous, but in reality, a foodie!

“Young Master Qin, earlier… Zhiyin was impolite.”

She carefully chose her words, speaking slowly.

The two were silent for a moment, then Lu Zhiyin couldn’t help but speak, “To be honest, Zhiyin came here, besides… besides being attracted by the aroma of this meat and the sun sacred fruit, I also have something to tell you and wish to invite Young Master to travel with me.”

“Oh?”

Qin Wushang raised an eyebrow, a little surprised.

“What is it?”

“The true Kunpeng Nest has already appeared.”

Lu Zhiyin said that there was a big commotion over there, a beam of light broke through the entire Small World, attracting many Prodigies.

“Deep within this Small World, there is a Wuwang Sea, with towering bronze pillars supporting the nest, and the phenomena are astonishing.”

“Outside the nest, there are numerous Restrictions, full of dangers, but also Opportunities everywhere. Zhiyin wishes… to invite Young Master to explore it together, so we can look out for each other.”

She had her eyes on Qin Wushang’s Kunpeng Dharma Image!

Perhaps with that, entering the Kunpeng Nest would be much easier, or even possible to enter directly.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wushang immediately understood.

Ten days ago, when he was slaying a giant forest python in the ancient forest, he did sense the heaven and earth shaking violently.

It must have been the appearance of the Kunpeng Nest!

He clapped his hands, walked in front of Lu Zhiyin, and looked down at her flushed cheeks, his smile carrying a hint of mischief.

“Invite me to travel with you?”

He touched his face, feigning confusion: “Heavenly Sound Saintess, you couldn’t possibly… have fallen for me because I’m handsome and strong, could you?”

“You…!”

Lu Zhiyin was almost broken by his direct and shameless words, her chest heaving violently.

This fellow was truly shameless!

Although he was indeed good-looking, she, Lu Zhiyin, was not an easy person. If she were to like someone, she would need to spend some time with him first.

She stamped her foot, pouting: “Young Master Qin! You… if you continue to talk nonsense like this, Zhiyin will go by herself!”

“Hahahaha!”

Seeing her so embarrassed and annoyed, Qin Wushang was in a good mood and stopped teasing her.

“Just kidding, Saintess Lu, please don’t mind.”

“Traveling together… well, that’s good, it saves me from being bored alone on the road. Listening to the Saintess’s guqin music isn’t bad either!”

He reined in his playful expression, but his eyes still held a lazy smile.

“Then, Saintess Lu, please lead the way?”

Lu Zhiyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded lightly, and returned the way she came, holding her guqin.

“Did you come from that Kunpeng Nest?”

Qin Wushang asked.

“Mm!”

“A big battle broke out over there. I got a true Kunpeng feather and was afraid of being coveted, so I left!”

Lu Zhiyin said directly.

“Then I’ll have to thoroughly examine Heavenly Sound Saintess’s body to see what a true Kunpeng feather is!”

“Young Master Qin is teasing Zhiyin again…”
