An Effeminate Man, Restoring Her Looks

In Cang Yue's boudoir.

Only one flickering candle was lit.

Several plates of desserts were laid out on the table. Chen Ning stretched and looked out at the night view, saying, "It's getting late. Have Ying Wu prepare a place for me to stay."

Practice makes perfect.

Having dealt with Cang Yue more, Chen Ning became more composed.

The main reason is that my cultivation level is now higher.

They certainly won't be as cautious as before.

"Master, Ying Wu is already asleep. Please make do with me here for a while."

Cang Yue wore a vibrant purple dress today, which perfectly covered her figure.

Yet it also sparks the imagination.

A phoenix hairpin was tucked behind her ear.

Elegant and luxurious.

Chen Ning frowned.

Ying Wu usually stays outside, never leaving her side.

How could I possibly fall asleep?

The eldest apprentice is clearly lying.

They have ulterior motives!

They made me stay up all night counting the Spirit Artifact, and now they won't even provide me with a place to stay.

Are you really going to leave me here all night?

This is outrageous!

The authority of a teacher must never be compromised!

Chen Ning said, "Okay, it doesn't matter where I sleep. I'll take off my shoes first..."

After saying that.

She walked to the bedside as if she knew the way well.

I feel quite comfortable sleeping here.

There's no need to guard against too many people; guarding against Cang Yue alone is enough.

Chen Ning covered herself with the blanket.

Cang Yue smiled gently and said, "Master, you're in such a hurry! It's still early. I wanted to have a few more private words with you..."

"Go ahead and say it."

Cang Yue's beautiful eyes flickered, as if she had thought of something, and she said, "Master, the people of the Heaven-Praying Hall probably won't let this go easily. The peace that I 'Dragon-Seeking Sect these past few days is likely to be shattered soon."

Chen Ning was deeply moved upon hearing this.

The Heaven-Praying Hall is, after all, a super sect and a long-established power.

Having suffered such a huge loss this time, they certainly won't give up easily.

However, Chen Ning was not afraid.

When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it.

Having survived the hellish start, what's a mere Heaven-Praying Hall?

Therefore, Chen Ning spoke up, "If the Heaven-Praying Hall wants war, then the Nine Provinces will have no need for the name of the Heaven-Praying Hall..."

A simple sentence.

But Cang Yue could sense the sect leader's charisma.

It also represents the sect leader's unparalleled confidence.

Little did they know.

Chen Ning was only trying to appear more profound in front of Cang Yue.

In fact, he didn't have much experience with clashes between sects of this level.

Fortunately.

Cang Yue spoke up promptly, "Master, in reality, it's rare for super powers to be locked in a life-or-death struggle. These behemoths are involved in many complex and intertwined matters. If they fall, it will affect the entire landscape. Therefore, when two super sects have a conflict, they usually adopt other methods to resolve it."

Even if it's difficult to resolve, it will only be a small-scale, limited conflict, not a fight to the death.

Cang Yue's words gave Chen Ning a better understanding of these matters.

That's true. At this level of power, there are no principles that cannot be compromised.

Even if there were, choices would be made for the sake of the bigger picture and the entire sect.

Just like the three generations of sect leaders back then.

Ultimately, unable to withstand the pressure from the sect's higher-ups and the righteous forces of the Nine Provinces, he chose to betray Fairy Qin.

However, Chen Ning did not want to be bound by these things one day.

He still longed to break free from these worldly constraints.

But that's a story for another time.

At this moment, Chen Ning's attention was focused on the purple dress that had been removed from Cang Yue's delicate body.

It landed gracefully.

"Sect Leader, among the six Mid-Grade Spirit Artifact sent by the Heaven-Praying Hall this time, this Essence-Infusing Ancient Jade is the most profound. Wearing it close to the body while sleeping can nourish the meridians."

After Cang Yue took off her purple dress.

Only one undergarment remained.

The Essence-Infusing Ancient Jade pendant was worn among the mountain peaks.

"I was just worried that the effect would be weakened by wearing clothes, so... so I wore it like this, so that you, Sect Leader, could also enjoy the nourishing effect of this Essence-Infusing Ancient Jade."

Cang Yue's voice was very low.

Chen Ning asked, puzzled, "Why am I also able to receive the nourishment of ancient jade?"

Cang Yue blushed and said, "Master, don't you usually hold something while you fall asleep?"

Upon hearing this...

Chen Ning blushed.

I even exposed this little quirk of mine.

How embarrassing!

"Ahem... This is the only way to study the effects of Spirit Artifact."

Chen Ning gave up a seat.

Cang Yue's perfect body then slipped inside.

I could feel the warmth left by the sect leader.

Cang Yue's cheeks flushed slightly.

Although she possessed powerful cultivation, she was still a virgin at heart.

Even if you've shared a bed with someone once, you'll still feel embarrassed.

This time, Chen Ning was not as awkward and reserved as before.

That's why he noticed Cang Yue's shyness.

He chuckled to himself, realizing that even such a seemingly perfect and aloof woman could display such emotions.

That's truly a rare sight.

However, this Essence-Infusing Ancient Jade is indeed a remarkable Spirit Artifact.

Wearing it regularly will subtly enhance your abilities.

Nourishing the meridians means that the flow of Essence Power will be smoother during battles and cultivation.

It is even more natural and seamless.

Therefore, Chen Ning focused on sensing the warm and gentle power released by the Essence-Infusing Ancient Jade.

Instead, they forgot that they were by Cang Yue's side.

Cang Yue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was speechless. The sect leader was actually focused solely on sensing the Essence-Infusing Ancient Jade.

They completely ignored her.

Where's the promised tension and excitement of a lone man and woman alone in a room?

She herself was dressed so lightly.

But the sect leader didn't feel anything?

Therefore, Cang Yue had no choice but to focus her attention on ancient jade as well.

Feel it.

Their breathing became calm.

That's all.

I don't know how much time passed.

Both of them fell asleep peacefully.

It possesses the warm and lustrous qualities of Essence-Infusing Ancient Jade.

So I slept exceptionally well that night.

Spirit Province.

Gold and Iron City.

Several female disciples of the Dragon-Seeking Sect had finished their training and were taking a break here.

Inside a teahouse.

The group sat together, sharing their thrilling journey.

Two people were also injured.

The most seriously injured was a pretty female disciple whose face was scratched by a spirit beast. Although some medicine powder was applied, it still left a hideous scar.

This is the most terrifying thing for a woman.

"Senior Sister Lü, don't worry. After we get back, we'll go to Spirit Medicine Peak. We'll definitely find a way to restore your appearance."

"Forget it... Our sect's contribution points aren't high enough to exchange for such spirit medicine. Besides, even the spirit medicine from the peak can't provide a complete recovery..."

Lü Qingqing felt somewhat disappointed; she might have to live with this ugly face forever.

The other girls also looked sympathetic, but didn't want to offer any advice.

Just then...

A man appeared in front of the women's table.

Several people looked up to see.

My eyes lit up.

This person has a delicate, feminine appearance, yet possesses a touch of handsomeness.

Extremely sinister.

But compared to his appearance...

His next words truly made the girls uneasy.

"I have a way to restore your appearance, and even make you more beautiful than before. Are you willing?"
