Tongyuan Town, at the foot of Longhu Mountain.
The bustling streets were a hive of activity, with merchants and townsfolk thronging the marketplace.
"Whose young master is this? He's so handsome!"
"Son, how about your mother finds you a stepfather... I'm only seventy-six, I can still bear children!"
"You guys are all wrong, this is the junior disciple personally accepted by the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, he's a Taoist monk… How would I know him? My wife hasn't come down from Longhu Mountain for seven years because of him!"
On the main street, a young man in white robes, with a face like jade and sparkling eyes, drew attention.
From young girls and married women to mature women and old hags, all eyes were glued to him, their gazes filled with longing and desire.
Seeing the chaos he was causing in the town, Mu Chen hurried along.
Eighteen years had passed since he was reborn into the world of zombies.
Fifteen years had passed since he joined Longhu Mountain and bound the "Exorcise Demons and Defend the Way" system.
Fifteen years ago, the Succubus Physique he obtained from the newbie package, besides giving him an unparalleled cultivation speed, also brought him many troubles that were unusual for his age.
——This damn physique’s attraction to the opposite sex was simply insane!
When he was three years old, female devotees would gather in groups to sneak into the bathing room to watch him bathe, some even vying to help him wash his pigtails.
As he got older, there were often married women and wives of wealthy families who, not only would abandon their husbands and children, but even forsake their wealth and fortune, just to become female Taoist nuns at Longhu Mountain…
Nowadays, there were more female Taoist nuns at Longhu Mountain than official disciples!
If not for the fact that most of them came from prominent families or wealthy households and brought their own wealth with them, Mu Chen would have been kicked off the mountain by the Heavenly Master long ago.
Even so, the Heavenly Master couldn't wait to send Mu Chen down the mountain to travel as soon as he achieved the Golden Core Realm.
This was exactly what Mu Chen wanted.
The "Exorcise Demons and Defend the Way" system, as the name suggests, would reward him for exorcising demons and defending the way.
In all these years, he hadn’t even used one percent of the system's potential while confined to the mountain, yet he had already cultivated to a realm far exceeding his peers!
Now that he had left the mountain, wasn't he going to soar like a Kunpeng, or like a dragon diving into the sea, making a splash?
He quickly walked out of Tongyuan Town and onto the official road through the dense forest, his mind at ease.
However, he didn’t notice a woman in white robes and a veil, quietly following him…
…
Bai Su Zhen followed closely behind Mu Chen. The beautiful eyes behind her veil, sometimes transformed into long, serpentine pupils filled with wildness, and sometimes back into human eyes, serene yet filled with struggle.
She had cultivated for over two thousand years.
Eight hundred years ago, she was just one step away from becoming a demon fairy, but she was entangled in the worldly desires and had to endure the tribulation of the mortal world.
Guided by fate, she arrived at Yu Hang Town on the Qiantang River.
There, she did not meet her destined one, but was instead suppressed by the old monk Fa Hai from Jinshan Temple under the Leifeng Pagoda, only escaping three years ago!
She had come to hide at the foot of Longhu Mountain, hoping to use the conflict and animosity between Buddhism and Taoism to avoid Fa Hai, who had become a Buddha in the mortal world.
A year ago, a chance glimpse, she saw Mu Chen!
A feeling of heart palpitations, a feeling she had never experienced in two thousand years, swept over her, making her feel numb all over.
The thought of wanting him, arising from the depths of her heart, filled Bai Su Zhen's entire mind.
This made Bai Su Zhen certain that Mu Chen was her destined one!
Only by resolving the karmic bond with her destined one, could she pass the tribulation of the mortal world and ascend to the realm of a demon fairy!
But because Tongyuan Town was close to Longhu Mountain, she was afraid of drawing the attention of the Taoists of Longhu Mountain, so she dared not even think of entering Mu Chen's life!
For a year, she had been living like a year in hell, her thoughts a sea of longing, her desires a bottomless abyss!
Now, finally, she had seized the chance to meet Mu Chen!
Because of the vast difference in their cultivation, Mu Chen didn’t notice anyone approaching.
But as she got closer to Mu Chen, Bai Su Zhen was increasingly affected by the Succubus Physique!
Her chest rose and fell with greater amplitude, her breathing became faster and faster!
The serene human eyes behind the veil had completely turned into serpentine eyes, filled with wildness!
Her remaining sanity no longer allowed her to conceal her aura, causing Mu Chen to feel a subtle sense of incongruity.
He turned around instinctively and saw a woman in loose white robes, her graceful figure barely concealed by the garment, staggering towards him.
"Miss, are you alright?"
Mu Chen extended his hand to help her.
Feeling the warmth of Mu Chen's large hand through her clothes and smelling the body fragrance emanating from him, the last vestiges of Bai Su Zhen's sanity instantly dissipated, leaving only an overwhelming *fire burning fiercely!*
Mu Chen sensed something was wrong.
The woman's slender hand, white as jade, had somehow reached his body, groping around him.
Her face, even with the veil covering it, was already flushed red!
"This devotee, you must not do this, I am a Taoist!"
"I will take you back to Longhu Mountain and have the Heavenly Master take a look at you!"
He hurriedly stopped her, flustered and confused.
He assumed she was a woman from the rivers and lakes who had been drugged by a villain!
After all, she didn’t have any cultivation aura, the Succubus Physique shouldn’t have such a strong attraction to an ordinary person, even causing her to lose her mind!
"Hiss!"
Mu Chen suddenly widened his eyes, feeling as if he had been caught red-handed!
Through the veil, the stunned Mu Chen met a pair of misty, bewitching eyes.
Before Mu Chen could react.
A milky white barrier of demonic energy, like a bowl, enveloped a radius of a hundred meters.
Bai Su Zhen lunged at him like a hungry tiger.
At the moment of their contact, their clothes disintegrated into dust…
