Twilight descended.
Mu Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, drawing in the essence of heaven and earth. The little fox curled up beside him.
Despite wielding a system, Mu Chen wasn't a lazy bum.
Otherwise, even with the Succubus body's empowerment, he wouldn't have been able to achieve the Golden Core Realm at the age of eighteen, mastering both Thunder Arts and Talisman techniques.
He knew clearly that the system was merely an aid, while he himself was the foundation.
A strong heart leads to a powerful body; unwavering resolve yields unmatched prowess!
Suddenly.
Mu Chen felt something.
Opening his eyes, he looked towards the door. The wooden door had somehow opened.
A stunning mature woman in a black robe stepped into the room.
She carried a unique fragrance, her loose robe unable to fully conceal her alluring curves. Every movement exuded charm.
Mu Chen raised an eyebrow. The woman's profound demonic aura indicated she was no ordinary mortal.
This was interesting.
The Four Eyes Daoist Temple served the ancestral tablets with constant incense, protected by the blessing of the Maoshan ancestors. Yet, they hadn't detected her presence, meaning the ancestors hadn't issued a warning.
This was intriguing.
Either she was significantly stronger than the Maoshan ancestors, or they perceived no ill intent from her.
Mu Chen smiled lightly, "May I ask, from whence does the immortal lady come?"
"Mount Changbai."
"Seeking the little fox's Hu family ancestor to return her home?"
Mu Chen inquired curiously.
Mount Changbai was considered the Mother of all mountains in China. Countless immortals resided there, with the five great families being the most powerful.
Hu, Huang, Bai, Liu, and Hui!
Representing foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, snakes, and rats respectively!
Due to these five great families, the entire Chinese mainland, excluding the northeast region, was dominated by the struggle between Buddhism and Daoism. But the northeast's stability ultimately relied on the five families' word.
In recent years, the Bai family had gradually declined, while the Hu family had always been the leading clan amongst the five, from ancient times to the present!
Hearing this, the mature woman shook her head and then nodded.
Mu Chen understood immediately.
She was a Hu family ancestor, but not here to take the little fox back home.
In other words, the little fox's encounter with him, and even staying by his side, was all according to the Hu family ancestor's intentions.
Mu Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "According to the immortal lady's methods, you wouldn't have parted ways with a junior without reason. May I ask, what are your intentions towards this humble disciple?"
The stunning mature woman gave a charming smile, not answering directly, but asking, "Little one, are you not afraid of me?"
"Why should I be afraid? In a direct fight, I may not be your match. But when it comes to calling for reinforcements... ten Mount Changbails wouldn't be enough for one Longhu Mountain."
Mu Chen chuckled, tilting his head, "Madam, wouldn't you want the mighty Longhu Mountain to enter your small Mount Changbai?"
The mature woman laughed hysterically, pointing at Mu Chen, "It's been so long since I've met such an amusing little one."
"Let's be upfront. Little He is my inept younger sister. During her Heavenly Tribulation, she suffered injuries, her Dao foundation shattered, requiring a complete rebuild..."
"Three years ago, my Hu family conducted divination together, revealing that the path to immortality lay in Qinling. I dispatched my spirit body, bringing her here. But until today, seeing you, I realized... the path to immortality lies with you!"
The mature woman spoke frankly, honesty being her primary principle.
And indeed, everything she said was true, just with certain omissions.
For instance, it wasn't just Tu Shan He who sought the path to immortality as a Demon Immortal, but her as well.
Although she was the elder sister and Tu Shan He the younger, before the latter's failed Heavenly Tribulation, she, the elder sister, couldn't compare to her younger sibling.
And another point, upon seeing Mu Chen, the path to immortality became even clearer.
In simple terms, it could be summed up in two words: Guardian Dao!
This discovery filled her with joy. Guardian Dao, Guardian Dao, it must mean to vanquish demons and protect the Dao!
Easy!
As long as her sister could stay by his side, it wouldn't be a problem. And it would be even easier for her. Once he encountered demons he couldn't handle, she would simply step in to assist!
Even if the path to immortality didn't lie with him, she would still help him!
Well...
Brother, you smell so good!
You're growing so much to my liking... hehehe... hehehe!
Unknowingly, her thoughts drifted, her fox eyes scanning Mu Chen from top to bottom, water shimmering in their depths.
Mu Chen remained expressionless, but his body stiffened.
Oh no, oh no, oh my god! Even immortals can't resist!
The shadow of Chapter Two loomed over Mu Chen's heart. If she were to also pull the "forcing a man to be her mate, welcoming a man with open arms" routine, his current little frame wouldn't stand a chance!
Buzz~!
At this moment, a pungent scent, perceptible only to the mature woman, wafted into her nostrils!
Snake Demon!
A snake demon no weaker than herself!
A sense of threat made her hairs stand on end, crushing the burgeoning amorous feelings in her heart.
Snapping out of her reverie, recalling the wild thoughts she'd harbored, a flush of shame crept over her, reaching its peak.
"If you encounter any insurmountable evils in the future, call upon my true name, and I will come to your aid!"
"I am... Hu Qi Si!"
She left hurriedly, just as she had arrived hastily.
Seeing her depart, Mu Chen's worried heart finally settled, letting out a sigh of relief.
But unbeknownst to him, as Hu Qi Si left, her mind was awash in turbulent thoughts!
Help!
How could I, a 3,000-year-old maiden demon, even think about pinning him down on the bed, stripping him... stripping him... how could I have such wicked thoughts???
ps: May the moon be bright and round, and life be sweet!
Wishing everyone a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
