"It hurts, it hurts~ It really wasn't me!"
As her soles were being rubbed and pressed, Ji Shengyao felt both pain and itchiness—a painful pleasure. Her bright eyes shimmered with a faint glow: "Stop torturing me, I really didn't hit... no, I really don't know what happened!"
"I'll let you off for now." Wang Li held Ji Shengyao's toes, pinching them one by one between two fingertips and gently rubbing them to soothe the chaotic deep blue spiritual energy within.
Ji Shengyao's face was as hot as a small stove in winter, and she breathed out a fragrant scent: "You bad woman, is it necessary to be so meticulous? These are my toes, not some antique for you to turn over and play with repeatedly."
"Be serious. I'm helping you clear your spiritual energy. How can a girl like you think about such improper things all day? I don't know what kind of lewd trash is filling your young head."
"You! You're clearly the one who's improper! I'm only twenty-five, while you're probably some old demoness who's lived for hundreds or thousands of years. Countless female Cultivators must have fallen by your hand, yet you call me improper."
"Come, your legs also have a lot of chaotic spiritual energy built up. I'll clear it for you." Wang Li gently lifted Ji Shengyao's silk skirt, revealing two well-proportioned and slender jade-like legs. Her porcelain-white skin was flawless, like a peeled boiled egg.
She felt the two strands of pure spiritual energy she had injected into the soles of Ji Shengyao's feet moving up through Ji Shengyao's Meridians. The energy was too pure for Ji Shengyao to consume, so she could only help guide it through the Meridians.
Her index finger pressed against Ji Shengyao's skin, gradually moving up from the ankle to the fair thigh... until Ji Shengyao pushed against her shoulders and shoved her away: "You bastard, what are you trying to do?!"
"I'm clearing your Meridians, you ungrateful little Cauldron!"
After saying that, Wang Li raised her hand and slapped Ji Shengyao's thigh. In the blink of an eye, a clear five-finger print appeared on the leg, turning visibly red.
"You hit me? Just you wait! One day, I'll lock you in that little cage and feed you dog food every day!"
Realizing her small foot was still in Wang Li's hand, she pulled it away forcefully: "I knew you liked women's legs and feet, and you like making others kiss your feet too. You pervert!"
"Then will you let me kiss your feet..."
Wang Li pretended to slowly bring her cheek close to the instep. Just as her pink lips were about to touch Ji Shengyao's foot, Ji Shengyao suddenly broke free, stepped on Wang Li's shoulder, and kicked hard, sending Wang Li sprawling onto the wedding quilt.
Her face was flushed, and she panted heavily: "No kissing!"
After a long while, she suddenly thought of something and muttered softly, "I felt a bit of warmth... Did-did you actually kiss it?"
"No."
Wang Li didn't get angry. Instead, she narrowed her peach-blossom eyes and spoke leisurely: "Lady Saintess, guess who's here? Your dear Junior Sister is leading a group of Inner Sect sisters from the Tianchi Holy Land, lying in ambush for us at the top of the cliff. What a pity, though—they're all from the younger generation. Not a single expert from the older generation is present. It's destined to be a one-sided slaughter."
Upon hearing this, Ji Shengyao became nervous. She lived on the same mountain peak with her Junior Sister and Master. Since childhood, she had long regarded her Junior Sister as her own sister and her Master as her own mother.
Hearing that her Junior Sister had come to save her, she didn't feel joy but rather endless worry. She had now more or less guessed that this demoness was likely not as simple as a Golden Core.
She spoke anxiously: "Demoness, let's make a deal. If you win, I hope you'll show them mercy. If you lose, I can also ask them to show you mercy. How about it?"
"Not interested. The fact that I could detect them in advance proves my Divine Sense far exceeds theirs. Your conditions are completely unequal."
"Then what do you want?"
"I want you? Your body and Soul already belong to me. Although the items in your ring are plentiful, they're all for the Foundation Establishment Stage. You have nothing left to trade with me. Unless you promise to let me kiss you whenever I want, or you kiss me in a spot I designate."
"You demoness... fine, I promise I'll seriously consider it."
The first condition is her kissing me—not only can I not resist, but I have to proactively let her kiss me. Who knows where or how many times she'll kiss. The second one is easy to guess; it must be her favorite feet!
Either way is hard to accept. I can't be the one to take the initiative so shamelessly, can I? Then what would be the difference between me and this wanton Hehuan Demoness!"
"In that case, I'll promise you as well. I'll also seriously consider whether or not to kill them."
As soon as she finished speaking, her figure vanished. Her red clothes fluttered, her skirt flew, and her long white hair swayed in the wind and snow, continuously intertwining with the blizzard until they were indistinguishable.
She flew straight toward the cliff top. Lining both sides of the summit were Inner Sect Disciples of the Tianchi Holy Land, all dressed in white. Seeing Wang Li suddenly appear, they couldn't react in time. They hurriedly drew their swords and jumped down the cliff all at once, like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
The violent wind and snow of Hurricane Canyon already carried endless spiritual energy. The faster one moved, the stronger the resistance. That was why the Tianchi Disciples had chosen to ambush at the cliff top.
"This demoness is fighting against the wind; she can only use seventy percent of her combat power!"
"Fellow Disciples, surround and attack this demoness with all your might! Defeat her and rescue my Senior Sister!"
Zheng Ling'er stood at the cliff top, her long ponytail whipping in the wind. She took out a golden rope from her ring. This was the Binding Immortal Rope refined by her Master. Even a half-step Nascent Soul wouldn't be able to break free if caught, and even a true Nascent Soul would likely need several breaths to escape.
In mid-air, Wang Li suddenly drew her sword. The silver sword that couldn't be unsheathed was drawn, and a golden light shot straight into the sky. The spiritual energy was so violent that it made the surrounding beast herds tremble.
"A Divine Artifact!"
The moment the Tianchi Disciples saw Wang Li draw her sword, their expressions changed drastically. This was a Divine Artifact, the highest grade of Magic Treasure. Generally, low-level Cultivators had no right to possess one; even if they accidentally acquired one, they would have to keep it hidden, for possession of such a treasure invites trouble.
Wang Li slashed out, and the golden spiritual energy flowed continuously, almost forming a golden wall. With a "ding-dong" sound, the flying snow was sliced in two, and even the howling gale was split apart.
"Don't retreat, hold your ground!"
The Tianchi Disciples' downward momentum was blocked, forcing them to fight in mid-air.
They gathered together, combining the power of their swords to block the golden wall. In their current position, they couldn't dodge in time and could only defend.
As soon as their swords hit the golden wall, their delicate bodies were shaken by its powerful force, causing them to sway and retreat continuously. Most of their precious swords were chipped, and the blade fragments merged into the wind and snow, scattering to the ground.
"Let me!"
With a delicate shout, the crowd parted.
These Disciples were already heavily injured. Xu Yu Zhu had the highest cultivation, having reached the seventh level of the Golden Core stage. In the Holy Land, she was a Prodigy among prodigies, already considered invincible within the same Realm.
She swung her sword from high above, striking directly at the golden wall, hoping to buy time for the other women to retreat. For a moment, she gritted her teeth, her whole body trembling and blood seeping from the corners of her mouth, but she still gripped the hilt tightly. The golden wall was incredibly solid, and she was completely powerless against it.
At the critical moment, her pupils suddenly turned pale blue, and a layer of ice covered her body. Even her sword blade turned an icy blue. The golden wall struck the blue sword, producing a piercing metallic clashing sound.
"Ah!"
With a roar from Xu Yu Zhu, the golden wall was sliced open more than two meters deep.
"System, what kind of Cultivation Technique is this? It seems similar to our Extreme Yin and Joyful Union Scripture."
[This is the Tianshui Scripture. It's just a low-quality adaptation of the incomplete Extreme Yin and Joyful Union Scripture. The one I gave you is an enhanced version. It's clear she is a spy from the Tianshui Sect hidden within the Tianchi Holy Land.]
Wang Li understood. The girl thought I would press the advantage and kill her with one strike, so she had no choice but to reveal her identity and use her trump card to save her life.
The Tianshui Sect had always claimed to be the Legacy of the ancient Extreme Yin Holy Land, enshrining a statue of the Extreme Yin Old Ancestor and vowing to spread the Extreme Yin and Joyful Union Dao. The reason the Extreme Yin Holy Land was able to become a top-tier Sect was because of the Extreme Yin and Joyful Union Scripture. Could I perhaps pretend to be the successor of the Extreme Yin Holy Land? That way, I could easily take over most of the Tianshui Sect's Disciples.
Ji Shengyao felt very uneasy. If the demoness won and captured my Junior Sister, using her to threaten me, then no matter how she touched or kissed me, I wouldn't be able to resist. I'd even have to say she touched well and kissed well! It's too suffocating!
