I am a high-level martial arts master.

The Dragon Girl knew some rumors, so she shared them as gossip:

"If your secret of possessing the golden attribute is exposed... Hmph, not to mention the Southern Territory."

"Even those arrogant old monsters of the Central Plains, those Martial Saints, would probably spare no expense to cross realms and kidnap you!"

"Just like Ji Xun who fought for first place back then."

"In their eyes, what's this 'beauty trap'? You're the one who's so stunningly beautiful that they'd pay any price to get your hands on you." The Dragon Girl spoke with an air of self-righteousness, and when she mentioned the beauty trap, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if she were hiding something mischievous.

If Ye Li weren't currently in the Southern Barbarian Lands instead of the Eastern Sea...

Otherwise, even a human could join the dragon race and enter the Dragon Transformation Pool to refine their foundation.

Upon hearing what the Dragon Girl said, Ye Li's eyes suddenly lit up. Remembering the old veteran residing within his soul, he asked:

"So, which sect do you think I should join?"

"Which type do you want to join? One with a powerful background? The strongest in the world? The best foundation? Or some other advantage?" the Dragon Girl countered.

"After all, although each sect has its strengths and weaknesses, they are more than capable of supporting you all the way to the Grandmaster level."

"He has many martial arts skills and a solid foundation," Ye Li said.

"The Myriad Paths Immortal Sect, the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Sect, the All-Immortal Palace, the Sword Canon Immortal Sect..."

The Dragon Girl listed about a dozen factions: "These all meet your requirements."

Ye Li nodded, smiling as he politely declined the last immortal sect representative's enthusiastic invitation. He then turned and pushed open the door to his simple, quiet room in the Azure Dragon Gang's quarters. Having dealt with these high-ranking immortal sect guests without actually fighting, he felt more exhausted than if he had just fought a major battle.

He just wanted to sort out his thoughts as soon as possible and discuss with the dragon girl in his sea of ​​consciousness which one to join.

But as soon as the door closed, shutting out the outside noise, a delicate orchid scent, quite different from Jiang Xiyue's elegant fragrance, wafted over him. Then, a soft, smooth, and boneless body, surprisingly elastic, pressed against him from behind without warning. "Young Master Ye, I've kept you waiting..."

A seductive voice rang in Ye Li's ear, and a warm, moist breath gently brushed against his sensitive earlobe.

Ye Li's muscles tensed instantly, like a fully drawn bowstring, and the [Swiftness] attribute was almost activated on its own!

For a martial artist to be silently brought so close is a fatal mistake!

This means handing your life over to the enemy.

He turned around abruptly, his dragon blood surging within him, his power poised to be unleashed.

However, the scene that unfolded before his eyes caused his pent-up power to freeze instantly, his mind going completely blank as if struck by a heavy hammer. The person before him was neither the assassin nor the formidable enemy he had anticipated.

Sticking close to him was a woman in purple with a graceful figure and a face that could be described as breathtakingly beautiful.

Her skin was like jade, her eyes like spring water; she was tilting her head slightly, gazing at him pitifully with those expressive eyes, her breath sweet and fragrant, carrying a hint of wistful resentment.

"Young Master Ye, I've been waiting for you... those rude men are finally gone."

Her voice was so sweet and alluring, possessing a strange magic that could easily stir up the most primal impulses.

That's not even the most shocking part.

Ye Li's gaze swept past the woman in purple's shoulder and down into his own simple and unpretentious quiet room.

His pupils contracted slightly.

On his bed, on his cushion, even beside the low table by the window...

At some point, a dozen or so women appeared, some sitting, some lying down, and some leaning against each other!

Each one possesses an unparalleled beauty that could drive mortal emperors mad, and each has a different temperament: some are as aloof as the moon, some as fiery as fire, some as gentle as water, and some as ethereal as a fairy.

Their attire was also completely different, clearly indicating they came from different immortal sects: cloud-patterned gauze robes, dark red tight-fitting outfits, elegant blue robes, and sheer, alluring silhouettes...

The only thing they had in common was the aura they exuded.

Without exception, they were all like a deep ocean, vast and boundless, each a martial artist who could crush Ye Li with a mere wave of their hand.

A perfect innate level! Perhaps even... a half-step Grandmaster!

These dozen or so women each possessed the terrifying power to wipe Ye Li from this world with a mere wave of their hand, just as Gu Feichi had wiped out the Li Kingdom!

But at this moment, these were more than a dozen peerless experts who were enough to make thousands of small countries on the southern border tremble with fear...

They all stared at him with an almost burning gaze.

The quiet room was filled with a variety of intoxicating fragrances, which blended together to create a strange and dizzying atmosphere.

Ye Li felt as if she had fallen into a gentle embrace, and her scalp tingled.

"You...you all..."

Ye Li's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice carrying a hint of dryness that he himself was unaware of.

Even with his vast experience and knowledge, he was still shaken by the absurd scene before him.

He anticipated the importance the Immortal Sect placed on him, and he also considered various forms of coercion, enticement, resource promises, and even a honey trap...

But he never expected that the scale of this "honey trap" would be so shocking!

A dozen or so masters, ranging from those at the peak of the Innate Realm to those at the half-step Grandmaster Realm, were all crammed into the small, quiet room.

Each of them could easily crush themselves, but their eyes and postures at this moment suggested a voluntary act, more like an active competition. The woman in purple seemed quite pleased with Ye Li's shock.

Her jade-like fingers gently traced across Ye Li's chest, creating a subtle sensation.

She giggled softly, her voice not loud, but it reached Ye Li and all the women in the room clearly:

"Young Master Ye, please do not be alarmed. We are merely admirers of your talent and have come here to offer ourselves as your bedmates."

Another woman, a black-haired woman dressed in the distinctive sheer gauze of the Xuan Yin Immortal Sect, leaned lazily against the bed and spoke in a strangely alluring voice: "Indeed, Fellow Daoist Ye is a prodigy, ranking ninth on the Heavenly Pride List. His future achievements are limitless. We sisters are all willing to spend a night with you, to practice the wondrous method of joy, and to help you... strengthen your foundation and cultivate your abilities."

A woman with a cool and aloof demeanor, dressed in a gauze robe with celestial cloud patterns, also spoke softly, her voice like ice beads falling onto a jade plate:

"Fellow Daoist Ye, there is no need to worry. We come from different immortal sects. After tonight, whichever sect you choose to join will be entirely of your own free will. It was just a fleeting encounter, a brief affair, with no entanglement whatsoever, and you have no responsibility to bear for it."

"Yes, yes, young man, you don't need to feel burdened."

A young woman, who looked the youngest and wore a blue robe from Medicine King Valley, resembling a girl next door, also chimed in with a smile:

"We just wanted to... well, get a taste of the future grandmaster's demeanor beforehand."

Her words elicited a few soft giggles.

Ye Li: ...

A dozen or so female cultivators at the peak of the Innate Realm, each with a distinct style yet equally stunning beauty, chattered away, their core message remarkably consistent: Ye Li, choose us, we'll sleep with you tonight, no responsibility required, we'll discuss which family you join after we're done!

Ye Li's lips twitched slightly. This was blatant bidding. Would they really do something like this just to recruit him?

Moreover, Ye Li could only join one sect in the end.

In other words, even if he succeeds, the remaining dozen or so people will all be taken advantage of by Ye Li for free.

Ye Li isn't a womanizer! (not really)

But at this moment, he truly felt the importance that the Immortal Sect placed on him.

After the initial shock, an indescribable sense of absurdity and immense pressure surged into my heart like a tide.

A dozen or so beautiful women, all at the initial stage of perfect innate cultivation, practiced alongside him, allowing him to absorb their essence. After one night, his foundational energy greatly increased.

I wouldn't even dare to do that in my wildest dreams.

The remnant soul of the dragon girl laughed in his sea of ​​consciousness, "You've seen it? This is the treatment of the top ten on the Heavenly Pride Ranking."

"In the eyes of these immortal sects, as long as they can bind you, this future towering tree, what are a few female disciples at the peak of the Innate Realm as furnaces? This move can both show goodwill and probe your foundation, and also plant a seed in your heart. It's a win-win situation."

"Although these female disciples have no hope of becoming grandmasters and are not the core of the sect, they have still been cultivated over hundreds of years."

"After spending the night with you, even if you don't choose their sect, they won't lose out. They'll probably follow you as concubines and serve you, which is a way of befriending a future grandmaster."

"But don't let your guard down. Who knows, some of these people might be hiding something, like using some kind of mind-controlling technique on you, or secretly taking your essence back to clone countless Little Ye Lis for research."

"Even if they have no ulterior motives, you should still be careful. These people are probably practicing a dual cultivation technique of Yin and Yang."

"If you, a mere cultivator of the day after tomorrow, were to cultivate with him for one night, your very bones would feel weak and your mind would be completely immersed in it. You would wish to stuff your whole body into it, and you wouldn't be able to come back to your senses for at least a year."

The dragon girl laughed in Ye Li's mind.

This is a higher level of cultivation where the other party has tampered with the body without you even noticing.

If the Dragon Girl hadn't been unfamiliar with the practice of dual cultivation, Ye Li's soul would have been immediately captured and turned into a wretched ghost when he first engaged in spiritual communion with her. The Dragon Girl's words instantly brought Ye Li back to his senses.

Even if good fortune is right in front of you, you still have to be careful that there might be hidden dangers.

If, for the sake of that one tremor, you create countless clones of yourself, that would be terrible.

Looking at the spring-like scene before him, and feeling the burning gaze that almost melted him.

Ye Li took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, saying:

"I am deeply humbled by the kindness of all the fairies, but I am devoted to martial arts and already have a wife. Please, fairies, return." In the quiet room, the smiles on the faces of the dozen or so stunningly beautiful female cultivators at the peak of the Innate Realm instantly froze.

The group of Perfected Innate Realm cultivators stared in astonishment at Ye Li's calm demeanor, not expecting such a straightforward rejection.

"Something's not right. Does this guy not like our styles?"

"Having a concubine proves that this lad hasn't gotten rid of his lustful desires. What exactly is it about us that we can't compare to that little girl?"

Countless ideas arose from the minds of the innate beings.

They couldn't understand why Ye Li would refuse.

Generally speaking, such wild, naturally endowed creatures are simply unable to resist such beauty.

They had originally intended to cultivate together with Ye Li, but now that they had been rejected, they were at a loss for what to do.

"Forced sexual intercourse?"

The idea flashed through the minds of several hot-tempered female cultivators, but they were quickly dismissed.

At this moment, the innate masters from other sects are still in the city, and allowing them to offer themselves as concubines is already the limit.

If it is forced, and the immortal sects outside find out, the situation will definitely worsen.

The woman in purple suddenly broke the silence with a string of silvery laughter:

"Fellow Daoist Ye, we hit it off immediately. If you regret it, you can come back to me. The gates of the Heavenly Charm Sect are always open for you." She gave Ye Li a deep look, her figure rippling like water before disappearing from the spot in an instant.

"Hmph! Don't know how to appreciate praise!"

The woman in black veil from the Xuan Yin Sect snorted coldly, and her figure vanished as a wisp of black smoke.

"What a pity, young man." The woman in the green robe from Medicine King Valley pouted and disappeared with regret.

Seeing this, the other female cultivators knew that things were hopeless, so they also transformed into streams of light of various colors and silently left the small quiet room, restoring tranquility once again.

Before leaving, the look she cast at Ye Li was filled with regret, resentment, and bitterness.

In the blink of an eye, the sweet fragrance and the burning gazes vanished without a trace.

Only the empty bed, cushions, and low table remained, as if the absurd scene had never happened.

The quiet room returned to silence, leaving only Ye Li alone.

His tense body relaxed slightly, and a fine layer of cold sweat seeped out from his back.

"Tsk tsk, kid, not bad composure." The dragon girl's teasing voice rang out:

"A dozen or so little fairy blessings are at your disposal; anyone else would probably have agreed immediately."

Ye Li did not respond to the dragon girl's teasing; instead, his gaze fell on an inconspicuous wardrobe in the corner of the quiet room.

He walked to the cabinet door and gently pulled it open.

Inside the closet, Jiang Xiyue smiled and hugged Ye Li, saying:

"Sir, I thought you would agree right away."

As she spoke, a hint of grievance appeared in Jiang Xiyue's eyes.

In the beginning, she was actually staying in this quiet room, hiding in the closet, wanting to give Ye Li a surprise when he returned.

As a result, the disciples of those immortal sects walked in one by one in front of her.

They were dressed in thin clothes, and their beauty was unparalleled. They were talking in the quiet room.

Jiang Xiyue, hiding in the closet, finally realized that these people from the Immortal Sect were actually trying to seduce Ye Li.

Even Jiang Xiyue dared not confront the Immortal Sect.

I could only stay in the closet, feeling utterly stifled.

The disciples had actually noticed Jiang Xiyue, but they all ignored her, treating her as an animal friend that Ye Li had raised.

If Ye Li chooses to agree next, Jiang Xiyue will probably have no choice but to hide in the closet and witness Ye Li's incestuous relationship with more than a dozen female immortals.

Feeling Jiang Xiyue's hands tightly embracing him, Ye Li could understand the unease in her heart.

As his strength grew, the levels he came into contact with gradually increased, and the gap between him and the girl widened.

This gap didn't appear gradually; it became more and more serious every day.

It has only been a little over four months since Ye Li entered the capital to fight the Jiang family, but the difference before and after is like heaven and earth.

Although Xiyue didn't say it, she was afraid of being neglected by Ye Li.

But men will always cherish the memory of their "white moonlight" (idealized love).

Looking at the girl in his arms, as Ye Li's first woman, no one could replace Jiang Xiyue's place in Ye Li's heart. He thought, "So, does love disappear?"
