What does my ancestor's pregnancy have to do with me, a mere servant?

Inside the cave.

Lin Feilu lay sprawled on the ground, her clothes half-undone, her phoenix eyes tightly closed, her chest rising and falling slightly, and an unnatural blush still lingering on her pale cheeks, making her look both pitiful and endearing.

Lin Yuan slumped against the wall, his head tilted to one side, his mouth slightly open, looking like a dead man.

But his right hand, hidden behind his back, was pressed firmly against a slightly raised floor tile.

"Tap tap..."

Footsteps came from the entrance of the cave.

coming.

Lin Yuan held his breath and peered through his slits toward the cave entrance.

First, a pair of long boots embroidered with gold skull patterns came into view.

Then came a black, form-fitting long dress, its tight fabric perfectly outlining the breathtaking figure of the newcomer.

Her waist was so slender it could be encircled by a single hand, and above it was a breathtakingly full curve, followed by long, straight legs.

The skull patterns embroidered in gold thread on the hem and cuffs gleamed menacingly in the dim light.

Her face was extremely cold and beautiful, with slanted eyebrows that flew straight up to her temples, narrow fox-like eyes that were slightly upturned, lips that were as red as blood, and a high and sharp nose.

That face possessed both the alluring charm of a mature woman and a chilling, murderous aura that seemed to have emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

It resembles a crimson red spider lily blooming on a mass grave.

The Thousand-Faced Demon – Wen Yuci.

In her right hand she held a seven-foot-long black banner, the pole as black as ink, with circles of dark red incantations wrapped around it.

The banner fluttered without wind, and within the churning black mist, countless distorted and tormented faces appeared and disappeared. These faces included men and women, young and old, each bearing an expression of despair.

The piercing wails were like demonic sounds, stabbing straight into the soul.

Wen Yuci stopped three steps away from the cave entrance.

Those narrow, fox-like eyes narrowed slightly.

An invisible divine consciousness spread out from between her brows like mercury, permeating every corner of the cave.

A moment later, Wen Yuci seemed to confirm that there was no threat inside the cave, and a cruel yet pleased smile appeared on her lips.

An ant at the second level of Qi cultivation, a critically injured and dying piece of trash.

"Oh."

A soft laugh escaped her throat, carrying three parts mockery and seven parts pleasure.

"Junior sister, oh junior sister, you always act so pure and innocent, like a celestial being descended from heaven."

"In the end, didn't it just benefit a good-for-nothing from the outer sect? Tsk tsk, if the male disciples in the sect who admire you knew that you were taken advantage of by a farmer, I wonder what their expressions would be."

With that, she finally stepped into the cave.

"Very well, Senior Sister is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see you separated." Wen Yuci raised the Thousand Soul Banner, and the ghost face on the banner immediately began to writhe excitedly, emitting a sharp shriek. "I will now send you to be a pair of lovebirds bound together by fate, entering my banner, thus fulfilling your fleeting romance of this one night."

Just as she raised her hand to activate the Thousand Soul Banner to collect souls—

according to!

Lin Yuan suddenly exerted force with his fingertips, and a wisp of spiritual energy pierced into the array eye under the floor tiles.

"Buzz—!"

A dull hum suddenly exploded, and a blinding white light burst forth from the cracks in the floor tiles.

The cramped cave was instantly filled with blinding daylight.

Immediately afterwards, a chillingly sharp sonic boom exploded out.

Wen Yuci instinctively closed her eyes, her sight and hearing forcibly deprived at the same moment.

Her divine sense instinctively tried to extend outward to investigate, but it was found that it was suppressed by a strange force less than half an inch away from her body.

Blinding. Deafening. Sealing away divine consciousness.

The three effects are active simultaneously.

Even with Wen Yuci's resilient nature, she was momentarily flustered by this sudden sensory deprivation.

But as expected of a female demon who fought her way out of a battlefield, her reaction was astonishingly fast.

Even though it was pitch black in front of her, her ears were ringing like thunder, and she couldn't project her consciousness outward, her body still instinctively made defensive movements.

She snorted coldly and slammed the Thousand Soul Banner in her hand into the ground!

"Bang!"

The banner pole slammed into the bluestone ground, and a ring of black ghostly energy spread outwards from her, forming a temporary defensive barrier.

At the same time, she made a hand seal with her left hand, and her spiritual energy surged and burst forth, enveloping her in a thick layer of spiritual light.

at the same time

"Let's do it!"

Lin Feilu let out a delicate shout.

The "dying man" who had been lying on the ground, barely alive, suddenly sprang up like a lurking cheetah.

Where was there even a trace of weakness left?

With a flick of her wrist, a palm-sized talisman appeared in her hand. The talisman was entirely crimson, as red as blood, and inscribed with extremely intricate lightning patterns.

The talisman ignited without wind, and the crimson flames cast alternating light and shadow on Lin Feilu's aloof face.

"Nine Heavens Thunder Talisman—Descend!"

Her slender fingers suddenly flicked out the talisman.

The burning talisman transformed into a blinding red light, rapidly expanding in mid-air.

A violent surge of spiritual energy exploded within the cramped cave, and a purplish-red bolt of lightning, as thick as a wrist, materialized out of thin air, tearing through the air and leaving a scorching white trail in the cave.

Thunder slammed into Wen Yuci's chest.

Thunder easily pierced through her protective aura.

However, just as it was about to pierce her body, a flash of light appeared on her body, and a dark white inner armor materialized out of thin air.

The inner armor was made up of small bone segments pieced together, and its surface was covered with dense defensive runes.

The lightning struck the bone inner armor, causing the runes to light up wildly and then shatter one after another, with the joints exploding one after another.

However, it withstood most of the attacks, with only a small amount of lightning penetrating Wen Yuci's body.

"Bang!"

A dull, heavy blow.

Wen Yuci flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the stone wall behind her.

The hard bluestone wall cracked inch by inch, with fragments flying everywhere, and spiderweb-like cracks spreading outwards from the point of impact.

"puff--!"

A large mouthful of blood gushed from her mouth.

Her aura was weak, and the white bone armor on her chest had shattered, revealing the skin scorched by lightning. A shocking charred scar stretched from her collarbone down to her lower abdomen.

Lin Yuan was also not idle.

While you are sick, I will kill you!

He understands this principle better than anyone else.

The flying sword whistled out.

The sword tip, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, stabbed fiercely towards Wen Yuci's brow.

He chose this position very carefully—the space between the eyebrows is where a cultivator's sea of ​​consciousness is located, and even a half-step Golden Core cultivator will surely die if their sea of ​​consciousness is destroyed.

however--

"clang!"

The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed within the cave.

The moment the sword tip touched Wen Yuci's skin, the remaining protective aura on her body was automatically activated.

The flying sword was actually bounced away.

There's no way around it; the difference in their levels is just too great.

"Damn it!" Lin Yuan cursed inwardly.

But he knew his role wasn't to be the main damage dealer; his job was simply to last-hit minions and harass. Gaining even the slightest bit of time was a victory in itself.

Just then, Wen Yuci's five senses began to return.

The effects of the Mystic Light Array are fading.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her cold and beautiful face contorted with anger and pain.

"court death!"

Her voice was hoarse and ferocious, and she slammed the Thousand Soul Banner in her hand to the ground.

"boom!"

The black mist churned and exploded, as if the entire cave was swallowed by darkness. Dozens of ferocious ghosts roared out.

At the same time, Wen Yuci made a strange hand gesture with her right hand.

A tall, humanoid zombie appeared out of thin air in front of her.

The corpse was eight feet tall, covered with dark green livid spots the size of copper coins, and its skin had a strange bronze color.

Its eyes were deathly gray, without pupils, and each side of its mouth revealed a tusk about an inch long. Its fingernails were as black as iron.

Equivalent to a bronze-armored corpse in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Dozens of fierce ghosts swept towards Lin Feilu on the ground.

The fastest of the three was a vengeful ghost, which transformed into a black shadow and instantly pierced through Lin Feilu's chest.

but--

Lin Feilu's body shattered like a broken mirror the moment the vengeful ghost passed through.

Countless fragments drifted in the air, eventually transforming into a burnt-out yellow talisman that swirled and fell to the ground.

Substitute Talisman!

The real Lin Feilu had appeared outside the cave at some unknown time.

"That Lin Feilu!" Wen Yuci laughed angrily. "He's quick on his feet!"

The bronze-armored corpse then lunged towards Lin Yuan.

"Senior sister! Quickly activate the formation! Trapped them!" Lin Yuan shouted hoarsely towards the outside of the cave.

Lin Feilu's cold voice came from outside the cave.

"Start the battle."

Five beams of spiritual light shot into the sky from the five corners of the cave.

however--

The light was not the five colors of blue, white, red, black, and yellow that should be present in the Reversed Five Elements Array.

Instead, it was an extremely eerie pink.

Pink mist, as if alive, surged from the five array flags and filled the entire cave in a short time.

Wherever the mist passed, the air was filled with an indescribable, sweet fragrance. The moment that scent entered the nostrils, a surge of lustful fire rose from the depths of the lower abdomen.

The bronze-armored corpse's movements abruptly halted. Its deathly gray eyes became dull, its raised claws froze in mid-air, then slowly lowered. The pink mist was effective against the souls of the living, and it also interfered with the mindless, refined corpses.

The bronze-armored corpse stood motionless in place, like a marionette with its strings cut.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Yuan rolled out from the blind spot, his back soaked with cold sweat.

But before he could even rejoice at having escaped with his life, he heard Lin Feilu's voice coming from outside the cave.

"Junior brother, you are a smart person."

"I am very grateful for your saving me. I will remember this kindness."

Lin Feilu's voice drifted in from outside the cave, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

"But you saw what you shouldn't have seen, and touched... what you shouldn't have touched."

There was a pause.

"I, Lin Feilu, am destined to reach the pinnacle of the Great Dao. This disgraceful state I have displayed today must not be allowed to spread."

Lin Yuan's heart sank suddenly.

A bone-chilling cold shot from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head.

No way, is this woman going to betray me again?

Only the dead can truly keep a secret.

"For the sake of my Dao heart... I beg you, junior brother, to die."

This woman never intended to use any inverted five elements formation!

From the very beginning, she had prepared two plans.

The first plan is to join forces to kill Wen Yuci.

The second plan is to use Wen Yuci's hand to kill himself.

"I paid a hefty price for this Illusory Heart Mortal World Array." Lin Feilu's tone even carried a hint of consideration. "Before I die, I'll give you a big gift: to have a night with the Thousand-Faced Rakshasa. You won't die in vain."

"The formation will continuously erode the soul of those trapped within; the higher the cultivation level, the deeper the erosion. Wen Yuci is severely injured, and her spiritual energy is disordered..."

"As for you..."

A soft sigh.

"Don't be afraid, I'll come back tomorrow to collect your body."

"Consider it... repaying the favor of that Qingxin Pill."

After saying that, the footsteps faded into the distance and disappeared completely into the night.

Lin Yuan's forehead veins bulged, and his temples throbbed.

He hunted geese all day long, and one of them pecked his eye.

I fucking believed your lies.

You can't believe a word a woman from that heretical sect says, not even the punctuation. What happened to the promised Inverted Five Elements Formation? What happened to the plan to trap the enemy for the duration of an incense stick's burning? What happened to the plan to escape together?

She never intended to leave alive.

"Damn it, don't let me get out of here alive, or I'll do it a hundred times! A hundred times!"

The pink mist continued to pour in, growing increasingly dense. The sweet, cloying fragrance seemed to take on a tangible form, clinging to his limbs and bones, and penetrating his very being.

The evil fire deep in his lower abdomen burned brighter and brighter, and his mind began to feel heavy and dizzy.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Wen Yuci.

The Thousand-Faced Rakshasa's situation was ten times worse than his.

On Wen Yuci's originally pale face, an abnormal flush was spreading at a visible speed.

The red color spread from her cheeks to the tips of her ears, then to her slender neck, and finally the exposed skin at her collarbone turned an alluring pink.

She bit her bright red lips tightly.

A flicker of fear flashed in those narrow, fox-like eyes.

"Illusory Heart Red Dust Array... Lin Feilu, you bitch!" Wen Yuci's voice was shrill and hoarse, filled with resentment and anger.

She had heard of this kind of formation.

A sinister and evil formation specifically designed for high-level cultivators.

The formation does not harm the physical body, but only attacks the soul. It will dig out the deepest desires of the person trapped in the formation, amplify them infinitely, until reason collapses and the soul is burned away by desire.

The higher one's cultivation level and the stronger one's soul, the more realistic and intense the illusions created by the array will be.

The pink mist relentlessly seeped into her body through her mouth, nose, wounds, and pores.

"ah--"

Her body began to tremble uncontrollably, her breathing became rapid and hot, and a few suppressed moans escaped from her throat.

Reason is being eroded little by little.

Lin Yuan's situation wasn't much better.

He also inhaled a large amount of pink mist, and a ball of evil fire in his abdomen made him sweat profusely and his legs go weak.

However, his cultivation level was low, only at the second level of Qi Refining, and his soul was as thin as a piece of paper. The Illusionary Heart Red Dust Array had a less fatal effect on him than it had on Wen Yuci.

Even so, the scene before his eyes began to distort violently.

The rough stone walls transformed into a beautiful curtain, emitting a soft pink glow.

The pile of rubble was transformed into a couch covered with flower petals.

Countless women draped in thin veils and with graceful figures slowly emerged from the void. Their figures varied, some were voluptuous and full, some were slender and tall, some were pure and innocent, and some were alluring to the bone, but without exception, they were all breathtakingly beautiful.

The gossamer-thin gauze robes barely concealed their bodies. Their fair skin was glimpsed through the pink mist, their slender waists swaying, their long legs crossed, exuding an irresistible allure.

"Young master... come and play..."

A soft, sweet voice came from all directions, like countless gentle hands caressing his ear.

The illusion grew stronger, and his resistance grew weaker.

Just as his will was about to be completely overwhelmed—

An amazingly soft touch pressed against his back.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of burning hot arms wrapped around his waist from behind.

The burning body temperature, along with a faint, cool fragrance and a barely perceptible stench of blood, wafted into his nostrils.

This is not an illusion.

That's so true.

The illusion has no temperature, no breath, and no real sense of weight.

Lin Yuan's whole body stiffened, and he slowly turned his head.

Wen Yuci's stunningly beautiful face was right in front of him.

Less than three inches apart.

He could even see her thick eyelashes trembling slightly, the tiny bead of blood on her crimson lips, and the fine texture of her skin, so smooth that no pores were visible.

At this moment, where is the Thousand-Faced Rakshasa, who once possessed the demeanor of a ruthless female demon?

Those usually sinister and vicious narrow fox eyes were filled with a hazy spring water, and the corners of their eyes were covered with a thin layer of water, like peach petals wet by rain.

Her red lips parted slightly, exhaling a hot, scalding breath, each breath accompanied by a sweet, trembling sound.

"hot……"

Wen Yuci let out a low moan of unbearable discomfort.

Her arms wrapped around Lin Yuan's neck like water snakes, her incredibly soft body pressing tightly against him.

"Holy crap... the cultivation world is too dangerous..."

Lin Yuan let out a sorrowful and helpless wail in his heart.

He tried to push Wen Yuci away, but the physical strength of the half-step Golden Core cultivator was far beyond what a mere Qi Refining Level 2 cultivator like himself could budge.

It's like an ant trying to pierce an elephant—futile and laughable.

"Witch... calm down..." Lin Yuan's voice was dry and hoarse, weak and powerless.

Wen Yuci could no longer hear what he was saying; her reason had long been burned away by the pink mist.

Lin Yuan made two symbolic struggles before giving up completely.

It's not that he didn't want to fight.

It's really unbearable.

"This is beyond our control. What can I, a mere Qi Refining Level 2 cultivator, do against a half-step Golden Core cultivator? I'm a victim too."

"Furthermore, there are still many unknown variables in the attribute point acquisition mechanism of the panel that need to be verified. For example, do female cultivators of different cultivation levels receive different attribute points? For example, is there a difference between evil cultivators and righteous disciples?"

"Yes, for the sake of cultivating immortality."

After he finished speaking to himself, he closed his eyes.

The last thought was—

It's worth it.

The pink mist surged and churned, completely engulfing the two figures entangled in the cave.
