Ri Guang was startled. A baffling feeling surged in his heart, but that woman did not seem to have any intention of explaining.
She stepped back half a pace. With that tiny movement, all the light that had been piercing through the bamboo leaves seemed to be tugged aside, making way for her presence.
A one-piece white silk dress, white as moonlight that had just fallen into the mortal world, clung to curves that were soft yet proudly provocative. Her slender fingertips lightly lifted the hem, revealing a stretch of calf, pale as jade, making one unconsciously swallow.
Long silver hair like silk was coiled up high, secured by an exquisite jade hairpin. Between her brows was a blazing red cinnabar mark, like the imprint of the Heavenly Dao, and also like a dangerous invitation. Her sleeves swayed faintly, a hazy fragrance spilling out, so light it seemed nonexistent, yet enough to make another's thoughts tremble like dry grass meeting spring rain.
Her beauty was nation-toppling and city-ruining, perfect to the point of unreality, like a cruel masterpiece of the gods, created only to test the minds of mortals.
Ri Guang raised his head. The moment his gaze met hers, all the questions in his heart were instantly strangled in his throat.
Beautiful eyes with long, upturned lashes, like phoenix eyes, looked at him with a mysterious, bewitching smile, as if teasing him.
"Pretty, isn't it?"
Hearing that seductive voice, Ri Guang swallowed, nodded with difficulty, his eyes unable to leave the long legs clearly shown before him.
He nodded, answering by instinct: "Pretty… very pretty…"
She giggled. Her beautiful hand covered half her smile, making her look even more beautiful.
"Want to touch?"
Ri Guang nodded, feeling as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest, leap into the woman's palm, and let her toy with it.
"Then…"
"Grand Elder!"
Just as that woman was about to say something, a familiar voice rang out, cutting through this ambiguous atmosphere.
Ri Guang jolted and raised his head, seeing a beautiful woman, though not as beautiful as that woman, who had appeared at some unknown time.
She wore a blue silk dress, standing on a thin bamboo branch. Her sleeves fluttered in the wind, her cold, beautiful eyes looking toward the woman in front of Ri Guang.
"S-second… Second Elder…" Ri Guang stammered. But hearing what she had just said, the woman standing before him was the Grand Elder, making him jolt.
Mu Qingyao looked at the Grand Elder coldly and frowned: "Grand Elder, please withdraw your intentions. He is my man. I hope you won't soil him."
"Hahahaha…" The Grand Elder covered her mouth and laughed gracefully, her eyes lightly sweeping toward Ri Guang like a hand teasing him, making his desire itch.
She said: "Second Elder, you really know how to joke. Your chastity is still intact, so how can you say he is your man? Besides, such a high-quality man, you ought to share him so everyone can enjoy him, not keep him all to yourself."
Mu Qingyao frowned: "Grand Elder, you're much older than me. Don't act like you're a virgin. My man only likes young girls like me."
The Grand Elder pursed her lips. With a cute, slightly aggrieved expression, she said: "Don't you know that the older a woman is, the more experience she has? Sometimes someone as young as you has no experience at all and can't make him happy."
"Huh! And what about you?" Mu Qingyao snorted disdainfully: "You're old and still a virgin. That just proves no man even wants you."
Hearing that, a blue vein popped up on the Grand Elder's forehead, proving she was not incapable of anger.
She crossed her arms before her chest, lifting her breasts, so large they could affect gravity.
Uhm! Ri Guang suddenly remembered a theory he had read when he was still living on Earth, that… the heavier an object, the greater the gravitational pull.
At this moment, he knew very well that the gravitational pull coming from the Grand Elder's breasts was supreme.
Mu Qingyao saw Ri Guang staring at the Grand Elder's breasts with a lewd gaze, so angry she wanted to tear him into a hundred pieces.
She waved her hand. A chain shot out from her sleeve, instantly wrapping tightly around Ri Guang's body and yanking him toward her.
"Ack!" Ri Guang jolted. A familiar feeling appeared again, the feeling of being tightly bound by a chain.
However…
"Hahahaha…" The Grand Elder laughed seductively. She also flicked her hand, and a black silk sash shot out from her sleeve, binding Ri Guang tightly and pulling him toward her.
"Aiz! Aiz! It hurts! It hurts so much… stop pulling!" Although his Cultivation had reached Qi Refining, Stage 6, being yanked from both sides by two people whose Cultivation was many times higher than his was truly torture.
"Stop pulling! I'm about to be torn apart!"
However, the Grand Elder and the Second Elder did not seem to care about his words.
Mu Qingyao frowned and said: "Grand Elder, please have some self-respect. He is my man. Please let go."
"Hahahaha… Second Elder, you're still a virgin, so how can you say he is your man? This is a wild man, whoever catches him gets him."
Ri Guang: "…"
Damn it! What the hell is a wild man? Do you think I'm a Pokemon?
Mu Qingyao gritted her teeth and said: "Grand Elder, do you really want to oppose me?"
The Grand Elder smiled and replied: "You're wrong. The moment I met him, I already fell in love with him. Am I wrong for pursuing love?"
"You… shameless."
"Hahaha… shameless, but I can take what I want. Even if I'm shameless, so what?"
"I think you're targeting his identity instead."
"Second Elder, you're wrong. I've been lonely for so many years. Now that I've met true love, of course I must do my best to take him. I can't miss this opportunity."
"He doesn't like you."
"It's fine. Taking his heart may be very hard, but taking his body is very simple. I'll sleep with him until he likes me."
"Shameless."
"What is shame? Can you eat it?"
"You…"
Ri Guang really wanted to cry. Inside, he cursed: 'If you two want to argue, can you let go of me first? I'm about to be ripped into two pieces.'
He could not take it anymore and hurriedly spoke up: "Oy! You… can you ask my opinion a little? I…"
"Shut up!"
"Shut up!"
Mu Qingyao and the Grand Elder spoke almost in unison.
Mu Qingyao said disdainfully: "You have no right to speak here."
The Grand Elder smiled and said: "That's right, a prize doesn't know how to speak."
Ri Guang: "…"
'Fine! I'll lie here and let you fight over me, just don't tear me into two pieces.' He thought in despair.
The Grand Elder looked at Mu Qingyao and said with a smile: "Second Elder, fighting like this isn't a good way either. I'll give you ten medium-grade Qi Condensation Pills. You give up what you love, and give me this man, alright?"
Mu Qingyao curled her lips disdainfully: "Grand Elder, do you think I'm a beggar? I'll give you 11 Qi Condensation Pills. Stop fighting with me, alright?"
"Oh! My~ my~ Hahahaha… Second Elder, do you really want to fight with me?" As the Grand Elder laughed, she tightened the black silk sash.
"Ack! Ack! Ack!" Ri Guang howled: "It hurts! It's about to snap! Stop pulling! Damn it!"
"That's right!" Mu Qingyao replied coldly: "I've never let others steal my things."
"Then…"
The Grand Elder suddenly swung her hand. Her beautiful, delicate fingers, like a work of art, shot out a streak of golden light.
"What?!" Mu Qingyao jolted and swung her hand. However…
Clang!
The golden light suddenly changed direction, collided with the chain, and made it explode, turning into countless particles of light that scattered through the air.
"Hahahaha…" The Grand Elder laughed as she pulled the black silk sash, dragging Ri Guang toward her.
A 75-kilogram man, yet he was held in a woman's arms as if he weighed nothing.
The Grand Elder smiled and said: "After I finish eating him, I'll return him to you."
As she spoke, she licked her lips, her expression greedy to the extreme, then hugged Ri Guang and, stepping on the falling leaves, shot off into the distance.
"AGH!!!" Mu Qingyao roared in anger. She flung her hand, and a chain shot out from her sleeve. However…
"Enough!"
A feminine voice, yet icy to the extreme, rang out, making Mu Qingyao jolt. She hurriedly withdrew the chain back into her hand, her eyes carrying a bit of displeasure as she looked toward Lan Yue's house.
"Huh!" Mu Qingyao pouted, then also left, her eyes carrying a trace of regret and unwillingness as she looked in the direction the Grand Elder had left. However, in the end, she still managed to restrain herself.
In the room, Lan Yue looked at the small porcelain bottle XiaoLian had just brought in. She held it in her hand, carefully stroking it. Her beautiful face, like a perfect masterpiece of Mother Nature, revealed an extremely gentle smile.
"That fool… he really knows how to make others feel warm."
