Hopefully, their perspective can be more normal.

Falling Cloud Valley.

Scripture Repository.

"So that's how it is..."

Bai Xirou looked around guiltily. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she quickly put the "Thirty-Six Chamber Secrets" back on the shelf, her fair face flushing with two clouds of crimson.

She never expected that she would one day browse such an embarrassing book in the Scripture Repository; it was simply too thrilling!

Fortunately, she successfully confirmed a very important matter this time, which was that kissing a man wouldn't result in pregnancy... After a brief moment of relief, Bai Xirou pressed her hand to her chest to calm her incredibly shy heart. Then, she hurried out of the Scripture Repository, her pace slightly disordered, as if a flood or a savage beast were chasing her.

However, what Bai Xirou didn't know was that as soon as she left, the previously silent Scripture Repository immediately erupted into a commotion. Many Falling Cloud Valley Disciples who had been silently watching her showed expressions of disbelief, their faces also carrying traces of uncontrollable excitement.

"My god! Am I seeing things? Did Eldest Senior Sister just read that kind of book?!"

"That's right! It's that 'Thirty-Six Chamber Secrets.' The content inside is very exciting; I even secretly borrowed it a few days ago..."

"Don't talk nonsense. Eldest Senior Sister has always been pure and noble, a Fairy-like figure. How could she be interested in erotic illustrations? You must have seen wrong!"

Just then, a young Disciple suddenly chimed in:

"Haven't you all heard? Eldest Senior Sister personally confirmed that she and Qi Da, who just took first place in the Outer Sect Grand Competition, are in love. The two of them have long since secretly become Dual Cultivation Dao Companions."

"It's said that Eldest Senior Sister has moved into Junior Brother Qi's Immortal Cave. Now that Eldest Senior Sister is a woman with a Dao Companion, isn't it perfectly reasonable for her to occasionally learn some Moves from erotic illustrations to spice things up?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many male cultivators hearing this rumor for the first time sighed one after another, wailing in grief with expressions as if their hearts had died.

"I refuse to accept this! That kid Qi Da isn't even half as handsome as I am, yet he can win Eldest Senior Sister's favor. On what grounds?!"

"My heart hurts so much... I've waited for years, but I never expected this secret crush to end up as nothing but a flower in a mirror or the moon in the water. Wuwuwu..."

"Eldest Senior Sister is such a beauty, yet she actually married a mediocre fellow. Heaven is unfair!!!"

"Sigh! This news is truly heartbreaking. Without Eldest Senior Sister, only Senior Sister Jiang, Junior Sister Lu, Junior Sister Wei, and Junior Sister Pan are left in my heart. I hope their taste is a bit more normal..."

"Holy crap, you're actually still thinking about Junior Sister Pan? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!"

...While the Scripture Repository was in a state of chaos, Bai Xirou was steering a Magical Artifact, flying toward the Falling Cloud Valley Main Hall.

"Little beauty, where are you going?"

Suddenly, a slightly lewd laugh rang out from the distance. Immediately after, a streak of light arrived in an instant, blocking her path.

Bai Xirou's delicate brows furrowed slightly. She looked at the suddenly appearing young man with a wary expression and asked in a heavy voice:

"Who are you?"

The other party was dressed magnificently with a face full of evil aura, clearly not a Disciple of Falling Cloud Valley.

"I didn't expect to encounter a top-tier beauty in such a backwater place. It seems This Daozi's luck is not bad."

The man sized her up brazenly, a flash of greed passing through the depths of his eyes. "I am Pu Genshuo, the Tianji Holy Land Dao Child. Are you also a Falling Cloud Valley Disciple? What is your name?"

Tianji Holy Land Dao Child?

Bai Xirou was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and bowed solemnly.

"Bai Xirou, a True Disciple of Falling Cloud Valley, greets the Celestial Pole Dao Son."

Although the fiery gaze he cast made her feel very uncomfortable, she could only patiently step forward to pay her respects.

The Tianji Holy Land was one of the strongest forces in this world. Falling Cloud Valley was as weak as an ant before it. The Celestial Pole Dao Son in front of her was not someone a True Disciple of a small sect like her could easily offend.

"It's fine, it's fine," Shen Wuji chuckled. "Junior Sister Bai, no need to be so polite. In my life, I cherish the fair sex the most. Since we've met, it must be fate. Why don't we find a place to drink tea and chat, so we can discuss our shared path? What do you think?"

Hearing this, Bai Xirou immediately shook her head and declined:

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Piao. I have an urgent matter to attend to right now, so I'm afraid I don't have time to catch up with you."

Shen Wuji's eyes narrowed, and his tone began to turn unfriendly:

"It's your blessing that I've taken an interest in you. Don't be ungrateful."

Bai Xirou grit her teeth. Just as she was about to refuse again, Yin Qingyuan's scolding voice came from the side:

"Niece Bai, do not be rude! Dao Child Piao is a distinguished guest of our Falling Cloud Valley. If you dare to be negligent, even if your father Bai Qingwu comes, he probably won't be able to protect you!"

"You are the daughter of the Falling Cloud Valley Sect Head?"

After learning this information, Shen Wuji became even more interested. "I didn't expect Bai Qingwu to look so pathetic, yet father such a beautiful and moving daughter."

Seeing that his words showed no respect for her father, Bai Xirou no longer wanted to stay there and exchange pleasantries. She said coldly:

"Xirou still has important matters to attend to and cannot accompany you. It's better for Elder Yin to accompany you for tea and conversation instead. Farewell!"

With that, she turned gracefully and detoured in another direction.

"Presumptuous!"

Yin Qingyuan's face darkened. Just as he was about to intercept her, Shen Wuji reached out to stop him.

"No need to chase. I have plenty of charming and submissive women. One with this kind of personality is more flavorful to break in. Haha!"

"Master is right. This old servant was presumptuous."

Yin Qingyuan hurriedly nodded in agreement, then changed the subject and whispered:

"According to your instructions, this old servant has already contacted the Elders in the valley who are dissatisfied with the Bai family in your name, making them believe that Bai Qingwu is a rebel colluding with evil sects."

"As long as you have a way to assassinate Bai Qingwu, your status as the Tianji Holy Land Dao Child will be enough to suppress all dissent afterward and push this old servant into the position of Falling Cloud Valley Sect Head."

"At that time, everything in Falling Cloud Valley will be in your pocket."

After hearing this conspiracy, a sinister smile appeared on Shen Wuji's face. "What does a mere Falling Cloud Valley amount to?"

"Junior Sister Ji, this time I will not only have you, but also that item you are so carefully guarding!"

...Meanwhile.

illusionary realm.

Clack!

A bamboo pole fell to the ground. Qi Yuan subconsciously looked up and saw a woman leaning her upper body out of a window, looking down at him with an apologetic expression.

What a charming and beautiful woman!

Although the woman wore plain clothes and a thorn hairpin, it could not hide her heavenly beauty. Especially those dark green eyes; they were lively, blurred, and soul-stirring.

After their eyes met, Qi Yuan froze on the spot, struck by her celestial beauty.

On the other side, looking at the handsome young man below, Ji Chan'er couldn't help but feel her heart race and her cheeks flush.

Under the influence of the power of the illusionary realm, both of them fell into the same situation. In the dark, there seemed to be a mysterious call, making them unconsciously want to get closer to each other..."}],
