Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 142 Internal Strife within the Hehuan Sect?
in the cave.

The battle raged on until dawn.

Liu Sheng fought two opponents alone, relying on his "tiger-like ferocity" and "standing firm" talents to defeat his enemies, leaving them routed and defeated.

Even when the enemy later joined with fresh troops, he still managed to win the battle in one fell swoop.

Although this battle was difficult, the gains were substantial.

In particular, with the addition of Xiao Yan as a new force, he successfully stole a large amount of essence, energy and spirit with the "Eighteen Forms of Dongxuan", and finally completely healed his spiritual injury.

Fully recovered!
"Liu Lang is so brave and fierce. Even if my junior sister and I joined forces, we would not be able to defeat you."

Lady Caiyu, with her alluring eyes, massaged Liu Sheng's shoulders in a flattering manner, her breath sweet as orchids.

"I have never taken men seriously, but today I have suffered defeat after defeat and I am completely convinced of my loss."

Xiao Yan and Lady Caiyu sat side by side, gently massaging Liu Sheng's legs.

The two women, one tall and one short, one thin and one plump, each with their own unique charm, were like twin lotus blossoms, a sight to behold.

(After numerous revisions and failed preliminary reviews, I'm exhausted. From now on, I'll use ellipses instead and be completely honest.)
Unfortunately, all those femme fatales harbored malicious intentions towards me!
Hey!
Liu Sheng's lips curled up slightly. He reached out and held one in each hand, playing with them as he said:

"That large batch of medicine from before..."

"What's wrong?"

Lady Caiyu sat up abruptly, her cleavage briefly exposed, but she seemed oblivious, her eyes gleaming with a pink light:
"But...where does it hurt?"

Xiao Yan didn't speak, but turned her head to look at Liu Sheng. Her smile remained unchanged, but the tears in her eyes were completely hidden.

Liu Sheng took in the expressions of the two goddesses and sneered inwardly.

This medicine is vicious, containing poison within the medicine. If someone takes it, they will be drained of their marrow and essence, rapidly depleting their vital energy.

But once I've taken it, I can use both the medicinal properties and the toxicity to my advantage!
Winning twice is fantastic!
More, please!

He put on an expression of "feeling unworthy" and said in a servile tone:

"This medicine is of great benefit to me and must be very valuable. I feel ashamed to have you spend so much money on it."

call!
Lady Caiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a glance with Xiao Yan, lightly punched Liu Sheng's chest with her fist, and said reproachfully:

"I was terrified! I thought there was something wrong with this medicine..."

She threw herself into Liu Sheng's arms, her breath sweet as orchids as she whispered in his ear:

"Good sir, this great medicine comes from an ancient prescription. It can greatly accelerate the process of tempering the internal organs and is most suitable for martial artists who specialize in internal organ refinement..."

"Senior sister went to great lengths to bring you back to the sect so that you could live happily ever after with her."

Xiao Yan promptly offered a helping hand, moving closer and rubbing against him, drawing circles with her fingertips:

"When Liu Lang achieves success in his cultivation in the future, he must not let down his senior sister... and me!"

Okay, okay, so you're all putting on an act, aren't you?
If I don't put on a few shows, wouldn't I be wasting all the gold coins you guys dropped?
Liu Sheng's eyes darted around, and he opened his arms to pull them into his embrace, saying emotionally:
"I am but a humble villager from the mountains. What virtue or ability do I possess to deserve your favor? I only regret that my cultivation is too weak. Not only can I not help you, but I might even become a burden..."

"Liu Lang, don't underestimate yourself. My junior sister and I have prepared three batches of powerful medicine for you, which will surely help you greatly improve your cultivation..."

Lady Caiyu embraced Liu Sheng, their skin rubbing together, her tone sincere.

It was truly moving to see and hear, bringing tears to the eyes of all who heard it; it was incredibly touching.

Unfortunately, they were all fake!
Liu Sheng played along with them for a while, and then started asking for antique items.

Lady Caiyu knew of his peculiar habit and was prepared, so she immediately ordered Xie Yuan to bring over a lot of things.

These were all collected by her over the past few days.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan, who was standing nearby, also took out a few appropriate items from her storage bag.

Anyway, Liu Sheng just played with it for a moment and then returned it without taking it away.

I just took it as one of his quirks.

However, for Liu Sheng, this was his greatest gain.

A total of 2482 Spirit Points were harvested.

The light and shadow fell in his eyes, and the remaining Spirit Points on the panel had reached a new high—[Spirit Points]: 5261
The last time I simulated the transformation into a tiger, it consumed nearly four thousand points of spiritual energy.

With a surplus of over five thousand points this time, it should be enough to deduce and upgrade another incarnation... right?

After we leave here, we'll go to Lao Qing's place and ask for a quiet room to perform the deduction.

Then they talked about the Qingyuan Cave ruins and the martial arts competition that would begin the next day.

However, the two women seemed unwilling to talk much, only giving vague answers for a few minutes before smiling and saying they would take him into the ruins, and then changing the subject.

"What a load of rubbish! They don't intend for me to live until... the Qingyuan Cave ruins open?"

Several thoughts raced through Liu Sheng's mind, and he vaguely guessed what was going on.

At this moment, Lady Caiyu said again:

"Junior Brother Qin is still up to his old tricks. He's taken this opportunity to come to Shanyang County, probably to try and take advantage of me and Junior Sister Xiao again."

"Liu Lang, be extremely careful when you go in and out. It's best to stay inside the cave and not go out."

Junior Brother Qin, Qin Shuang?
Is that androgynous man with whom Gu Shaoshang has an ambiguous relationship having designs on both of you?
Liu Sheng raised his eyebrows but remained silent.

"Qin Shuang suffered bullying since childhood, which made him extreme in temperament, biased in his actions, ruthless and vicious. He especially enjoyed torture and killing. If you fell into his hands, you would rather be dead."

Xiao Yan, who was standing nearby, also chimed in with advice:

"This person was plotting against my senior sister and me when we were in the sect, but he never succeeded. My senior sister and I were afraid he would take his anger out on you..."

anger?
Alright, I was just thinking of killing him to prevent my identity as "Young Master Gu" from being exposed.

Moreover, hiding in this cave and not coming out, isn't that... a form of house arrest?

This is probably your real purpose!

Liu Sheng saw through their intentions and began to struggle with them.

Just then, a sudden tremor shook the ground beneath our feet, causing the mountain to sway and many precious pearls to fall from the cave ceiling, sending dust and ash flying everywhere.

Several female disciples serving nearby lost their balance and swayed precariously.

Someone is attacking the magic circle at the cave entrance!

Lady Caiyu's expression changed, but before she could speak, a voice drifted into the cave:
"Senior Sister Caiyu, Junior Sister Xiao, why do you disregard our camaraderie and turn me away?"

The voice was neither male nor female, as cold and hard as cast iron, quite unpleasant to hear, yet it contained a trace of magic, causing illusions to reappear before one's eyes and inspiring wild fantasies.

Xie Yuan and several other disciples were immediately affected, their eyes glazed over, their legs clamped together, unable to stand and kneeling on the ground.

"Humph!"

Lady Caiyu snorted coldly, her voice like a thunderclap in spring, instantly shattering the decadent music that had flooded into the cave.

A look of apprehension flashed in her eyes as she raised her voice:

"I had a fight with that vile woman from Shuiyue Nunnery a couple of days ago, and I'm exhausted. I'm currently recuperating behind closed doors and can't entertain you. Please go back, junior brother."

"Really? But I heard that you recently acquired a new medicinal herb, Senior Sister..."

"court death!"

Lady Caiyu flew into a rage, her body glowing with light, and she leaped out of the cave.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan wrapped herself in a wisp of blue light and followed her out.

A short while later, a rumbling sound came from outside the cave, like thunder.

Three streams of energy intertwined and clashed, creating a dazzling display of light and terrifying power.

After about ten breaths, the strange noise stopped abruptly. Qin Shuang let out a few eerie laughs and fled into the distance.

Before long, Lady Caiyu and Xiao Yan returned together, their faces grim and their eyes grave.

This means...we didn't win?
Liu Sheng's heart stirred slightly, and his eyes narrowed.

Are hermaphrodites that powerful?
