Although it was clearly a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument), Ye Feng could hear the sounds of more than ten other musical instruments within it.

Compared to the Paradise Gate performance I saw in the East China Sea, its quality was several levels higher.

More importantly, there's the woman dancing in front of me...

Long sleeves fluttering, white peaks covered in snow.

Her eyebrows were delicately furrowed, her lips a soft, pinkish hue...

Even though they were dozens of meters apart, Ye Feng felt as if the veil was constantly brushing against his face.

Even my back felt like it was being rubbed...

Comfortable!

So comfortable!

...

"it's over!"

Seeing Ye Feng enjoying himself with his eyes closed, Yue Qun shook his head again.

"Once you become addicted to the music of True Lord Butterfly Lotus, it will be impossible for you to break free on your own!"

Yue Qun's words aroused the curiosity of the group of Nascent Soul cultivators below.

One of the bolder individuals couldn't help but ask a question.

"If True Lord of Righteous Qi cannot break free, what should be done? Even Sect Master Meng has not come into contact with True Lord of Divine Eyes, so would he simply self-destruct on the spot?"

Yue Qun looked in that direction with a deep gaze and said,

"It's unlikely she'll self-destruct, but... losing herself means she'll likely become a slave to True Monarch Butterfly Lotus, her life or death... entirely in her hands!"

"ah!"

"Whoosh!"

A murmur rippled through the crowd below, and everyone couldn't help but shiver.

It's terrifying!

In the past, they simply looked down on sects that practiced dual cultivation.

But I never imagined that the Hehuan Sect would have such a great technique; it's simply astonishing!

But thinking about it, it makes sense; once you're trapped, you can't escape on your own.

Naturally, no news would be leaked...

How did this Righteous True Lord know that?

Everyone stared intently, afraid of accidentally offending someone.

The music in the distance was nearing its end.

Ye Feng closed his eyes, his face full of comfort and contentment.

Xiao Xuan stood atop the hill at the edge of the formation, her fingernails unknowingly digging into her palms.

He was completely unaware that drops of blood were falling.

"You brat, have you forgotten us? And your child..."

Ye Feng's condition meant defeat was inevitable.

With so many enemies outside, she naturally had nowhere to retreat.

But so many young people from Yunxia Mountain... they'll probably have to perish with them!

Ye Feng put away the small sword used for transmitting sound during the battle, so even if she wanted to use it, she couldn't.

What's more, he even left Qianhuan aside...

Even if you survive being enslaved by the Hehuan Sect, you will never be the same person you were before!

Perhaps a late-stage Nascent Soul expert could awaken the person at a great cost.

But now... there are enemies everywhere, where would a Nascent Soul expert be willing to help with something like this?

There's probably still a sliver of a chance!

A resolute look appeared in Xiao Xuan's eyes. She summoned her flying sword and left the formation, flying forward.

With his own death... and the child... there might be a sliver of a chance to awaken them!

...

As the last note faded, Meng Dielian looked at Ye Feng, who stood peacefully with his eyes closed, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Open your eyes!"

At his command, Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes, his gaze towards Meng Die Lian filled with gratitude.

Kneel down!

Ye Feng:...

As an experienced driver, he knew that sometimes customers needed to cooperate...

But with so many people watching... isn't this a bit inappropriate?

Seeing Ye Feng's stunned expression, Meng Die Lian frowned, but she soon saw a figure flying from behind Ye Feng.

Ye Feng frowned and turned to the side, snipping two fingers together to retrieve a flying sword.

"You traitor, Honglin! I knew you were a traitor! How dare you assassinate your master!"

"No, I didn't..."

Ye Feng glanced at Xiao Xuan, but didn't pursue the matter further. He simply abandoned Hong Lin and landed.

"Why did you come out? Didn't we agree..."

Are you still you?

Ye Feng: ...What else?

"Hehehe..."

A seductive, languid laugh rang out, and Meng Dielian followed.

"So this is your lover...and she's heavily pregnant...really, I'm very unhappy!"

Upon seeing True Monarch Butterfly Lotus, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but take two steps back in fear.

Even Ye Feng, who was usually quite oblivious, sensed that something was amiss.

He immediately turned around and stood in front of Xiao Xuan, speaking seriously.

"Sect Master Meng, thank you for what happened earlier! I will certainly treat you with the utmost hospitality on the day the sect is founded. I will not linger any longer, please!"

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, all eight people present were stunned.

All six Golden Core beauties looked at Meng Dielian.

Meng Die Lian stared wide-eyed at Ye Feng.

Xiao Xuan stared wide-eyed as she walked to the side, wanting to see Ye Feng's expression...

Yang Dan and the others who had been chasing after them stopped at a distance when they saw Ye Feng protecting Xiao Xuan...

Meng Dielian: "You... how is this possible?"

Xiao Xuan: Are you alright?

This question startled Ye Feng, who searched his entire body for fear.

"I hope... everything's alright?!"

Then, uncertain, she turned to Meng Dielian and asked...

"Is there something I should do?"

Meng Die Lian took two steps back, pointing at him as if she had seen a ghost.

"You! Kneel down!"

"You! Hit her!"

"I command you..."

Before she could finish speaking, a formation of expanding breath enveloped her.

Ye Feng waved his hand and threw the seven people out.

Then he looked at Xiao Xuan, and said with an awkward smile,

"She's probably... a little mentally unstable. I just listened to a song, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that...."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Xuan threw herself into his arms, her tears unknowingly soaking Ye Feng's clothes...

———

The crowd watching from outside, seeing a group of people running out of the Penglai Sect, with True Monarch Butterfly Lotus standing imperiously behind them, couldn't help but sigh.

"They must have already been infected."

"Would True Monarch Butterfly Lotus allow him to kill all his own people?"

"That's really hard to say..."

...

Unexpectedly, an epic battle ended in this way, leaving everyone shaking their heads in disappointment.

This Divine Eye True Monarch defeated Venerable Youyue... but was ultimately defeated by the Nascent Soul stage Hehuan Sect Master.

It's truly a pity.

"Sigh, there's nothing left to watch, everyone go home!"

"Hey...wait a minute, look!"

As this person pointed out, more and more people realized something was wrong.

While everyone was still in a daze, the figures of True Monarch Butterfly Lotus and his companions had already disappeared from the valley.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that they had already boarded the airship they had come from and had left the center of the battlefield...

What's going on?

"Did you not get infected? Or..."

"Could it be that he's being manipulated by True Monarch Butterfly Lotus to continue accepting challenges?"

...

Seeing Xiao Xuan's serious expression, Ye Feng frowned and said,

"So... I'm being controlled by her now? But I don't feel anything?"

Xiao Xuan couldn't help but roll her eyes. Throwing someone out so roughly, they probably didn't even feel a thing.

But she was still filled with doubts.

It is said that the secret techniques of the Hehuan Sect are so powerful that even women may find them difficult to resist.

How exactly did Ye Feng manage to do that?

How did you feel at that time?

"Huh? This...it just feels pretty comfortable...but not that comfortable...just average, um...that..."

This is just a giant sword! How can I describe it to you...?

However, it must be said that this sword is surprisingly effective.

In just a few minutes,

Ye Feng felt as if he had slept for several days and nights.

He felt better than ever before.

My body no longer aches, and my eyes aren't tired anymore.

One against seven, no problem!

"I can't quite describe the feeling, it's just that I woke up and saw you here... Anyway, there's a Blood Demon Venerable waiting outside, I'll go now!"

After saying that, Ye Feng ran out as if fleeing.

Xiao Xuan was left standing there lost in thought.

This guy...

I see!

Cultivators are always ruthless and devoid of emotion.

Even with increasingly profound cultivation, one can only suppress and abandon the inherent desires of human nature...

The Dream Butterfly Lotus's cultivation technique awakens this desire.

Then,

enlarge!

The harder you suppress it, the stronger the rebound will be.

As for Ye Feng... that guy is a complete lecher; he never even blinks at a pretty woman.

Why would anyone need to amplify this?

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but shake her head with a wry smile.

"That bastard! He always makes me worry..."

———

Inside the flying boat of the Hehuan Sect

In a fit of rage, Meng Dielian smashed the teacup.

Still not satisfied, he flipped the table over.

"Butterfly Lotus, who made you angry? I'll go kill him!"

Just then, a tall, imposing man stepped out.

The man knelt down to gather the broken pieces from the ground, then knelt again and walked to Meng Dielian.

I want to kiss her feet.

Meng Dielian abruptly pulled her foot back and angrily rebuked,

What are you doing?

"I...I..."

The man was like a child who had done something wrong, stammering and unsure how to speak.

Meng Die Lian has always enjoyed trampling people under her feet.

Occasionally, kissing the instep of the foot is given as a reward, allowing someone to touch it.

But today... she just felt nauseous.

"You should leave now, I'm not feeling well."

Let me massage your shoulders!

"Get out! Get out of here!"
