A Spirit Stone Beauty, Huh?

Yue Qianchou and the other man were just about to get up when they heard a violent impact from above. The dragon's body shook uncontrollably. Looking up, they saw several large dents on the ceiling. The sounds of fighting outside seemed to grow more intense, and the dragon's body was affected. The piercing roar of metal made both their ears go numb, and their heads spun. Unable to bear it any longer, they staggered towards the door, barely able to stand.

Leaning against the doorway, Yue Qianchou poked his head out, his dizzy head shaking, and his eyes widened in astonishment. People were flying everywhere, crisscrossing the sky and ground, colorful beams of light whizzing past, explosions erupting, and furious shouts roaring like thunder. While he was stunned, a blinding blood-red light shot towards him.

"My god!" Yue Qianchou yelped. He just managed to pull his head back when a deafening explosion occurred. The doorway immediately caved in, and his vision shook violently. The powerful airflow sent them both flying back again.

Falling back into the compartment, Yue Qianchou frantically clapped his hands over his buzzing ears. Before he could recover, another series of violent impacts struck the dragon's body, leaving him completely dazed. Unable to stand it any longer, he quickly tore off two pieces of cloth from his clothes, rolled them into balls, and stuffed them into his ears. Seeing this, Shi Xiaotian did the same.

With his ears blocked, the effect was much better. Feeling the violent tremors beneath his feet, Yue Qianchou slowly stood up. Shi Xiaotian made a gesture, asking if he wanted to go out.

"Damn it! Going out now would be suicide," Yue Qianchou glanced outside the compartment and quickly waved his hand, indicating he wasn't going. The chaos outside seemed to be not only unabated but also intensifying.

"Good heavens! Is this what a battle between cultivators looks like?" This was the first time he had ever witnessed such a scene, and he was filled with shock and emotion. It was simply too insane; this was the path he was walking.

Yue Qianchou's blood surged, and he clenched his fists, waving them. "This is awesome! Cultivation World, don't run! I'm joining the fun!" Of course, he wasn't planning to rush out and die right now; he meant sometime in the future! Shi Xiaotian couldn't hear what his boss was saying, but he could see his boss was very excited.

Due to the violent shaking of the dragon's body, the piles of Spirit Stones that had been stacked in the compartment began to topple over, one after another. Yue Qianchou's eyes lit up. With so many Spirit Stones, why would he bother mining? He wasn't planning to stay in the Qingguang Sect long-term anyway. In short, if not now, then when?

"My treasures, here I come!" Yue Qianchou waved his hands and reached for the Spirit Stones. Bag after bag of Spirit Stones vanished without a trace as his hands touched them. Shi Xiaotian wondered if his eyes were playing tricks on him. After confirming he wasn't mistaken, he was so astonished that his mouth hung open, his mind a complete blank.

By the time the last bag of Spirit Stones disappeared, the wealth accumulated by the Qingguang Sect's Spirit Stone mine over the past half-year had been completely swept clean. Yue Qianchou looked around the compartment, ensuring nothing was missed, and patted his belly with satisfaction. His gaze fell on the dumbfounded Shi Xiaotian, and he chuckled, walking over and saying, "This boss is sending you to a fun place." Without waiting to see if the other person heard or was willing, he grabbed Shi Xiaotian's hand and tossed him into the golden bead.

Perhaps the most unbelievable thing was happening to the white fox. She finally understood how crazy Yue Qianchou was. When the first large bag fell from the sky, the white fox glanced at it casually. But in the time it took to eat a meal, the bags continued to fall relentlessly, piling up until they formed a small mountain before stopping.

She could no longer remain indifferent. With a flash, a white shadow darted out of the woods and into the bamboo pavilion. She stood before the massive pile of fallen objects, her delicate brows furrowed, wondering what Yue Qianchou was up to. Her slender jade fingers drew a streak of white light, and the cloth bags split open with a hiss. Spirit Stones cascaded onto the ground.

The white fox was slightly taken aback. She drew several more streaks of white light with her fingers, and with a series of hisses, more than ten cloth bags were ripped open, spilling Spirit Stones everywhere. Her alluring red lips parted slightly, and she froze. Could it be that this mountain of cloth bags was filled entirely with Spirit Stones? Good heavens! Where did all this come from... While she was still in shock, someone in the sky suddenly shouted, and she looked up to see a figure fall onto the bags of Spirit Stones and then roll off.

Shi Xiaotian landed and got up. A peerless beauty stood before him, and they both asked in surprise, "Who are you..."

Yue Qianchou had also intended to hide in the golden bead, but a serious problem presented itself. When he entered and exited the golden bead, he could only return to the place from which he entered. If he entered from the compartment, what would happen if the transport magic artifact was shrunk and returned to its original form while he was inside? Would he become a concentrated essence?

He couldn't risk it; the thought sent a chill down his spine. Yue Qianchou hid by the compartment entrance, waiting for an opportunity to slip out and then escape.

The commotion outside grew quieter, with only the occasional angry shout and sounds of fighting. This was his chance. Yue Qianchou lunged outwards. Just as he was about to land and escape, his neck tightened, and a large hand gripped it.

The force was immense, almost choking the life out of him, but it was enough to cause his brain to briefly go into oxygen deprivation, and his eyes rolled back. Yue Qianchou thrashed his limbs. The person holding his neck seemed to sense his difficulty breathing and loosened their grip slightly, pulling him closer to themselves.

Yue Qianchou seized the opportunity to gasp for air. Just as he recovered and was about to escape, he suddenly saw a group of people floating in the air opposite him, all holding weapons. In the center was a charming and seductive woman dressed in a flowing red palace gown. As the gentle breeze blew, her two fair, slender legs, wrapped in the red gauze, were revealed and hidden, making her incredibly alluring. She was smiling charmingly in Yue Qianchou's direction.

Yue Qianchou's eyes nearly popped out. "She's a stunner," he thought. It wasn't too late to leave later; he'd watch for now.

The alluring woman in red looked down and smiled seductively. "Lu Wanqian, it's been a hundred years since we last met. I've missed you dearly. I've come specifically to see you today. Oh! Why are you holding this little brat in front of you? Has old age made you timid? Do you need a child to bolster your courage? Heh heh!" The people behind her burst into laughter.

Lu Wanqian, his hair disheveled and a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, roared, "Demoness, shut your mouth! Don't think I don't know your intentions. You're here to ambush and rob us, knowing our Qingguang Sect is transporting Spirit Stones today. You demonic path fiends are utterly shameless, only daring to do sneaky things. If you have the guts, come to Qingguang Mountain!"

"Damn it! It really is this old bastard! His voice is so loud, spitting in my face. If you want to die, go die! Why are you dragging me along? I've never heard of someone pulling their own people down with them before dying!" Yue Qianchou recognized the voice and realized the person holding his neck was Lu Wanqian.

"Heh heh! Come to Qingguang Mountain!" the woman in red giggled, spreading her arms to gently caress her temples. "Although Qingguang Sect is getting worse with each generation, those old monsters hidden in the back mountain still have some real skills. How could I, a weak woman, dare to risk it? So! I can only bully you, a big man, here. It doesn't seem unreasonable to do so! It's a pity that the Spirit Stones accumulated by Qingguang Sect's Spirit Stone mine over the past half-year will soon be mine! Alas! Lu Wanqian, since we've known each other, if you kneel and beg for mercy, I might consider sparing your life." The crowd behind her erupted in laughter again.

This sister's voice was so pleasant to listen to. Yue Qianchou was captivated, his back leaning against Lu Wanqian.

"Hundred Charm Demoness! Look closely at who I'm holding!" Lu Wanqian said, tightening his grip. Yue Qianchou, who had been leaning against him, was pushed forward by the neck. The former held his breath, a clicking sound coming from his throat. Fortunately, his fingers loosened slightly afterward.

The people floating in the air were all stunned by his words. The Hundred Charm Demoness scrutinized Yue Qianchou, but she didn't notice anything special or recognize him. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "Lu Wanqian, you expect me to be threatened by casually grabbing a low-level disciple of Qingguang Sect as a hostage? Do you really think I'm as foolish as you?"

"Hahaha!" Lu Wanqian laughed wildly. "Demoness, others may not know, but I do! My junior brother has been lovesick and dejected for you for the past hundred years. I assume you haven't forgotten my junior brother? Are you really here to steal Spirit Stones? Perhaps you heard of my junior brother's death and came to vent your anger? The one who killed my junior brother was the Daluo Sect. Why don't you go vent your anger at them? Humph! Do you know who I'm holding? He is the direct disciple of Hao Wuwei, who treated him like a son. Demoness, if you dare block my path, I will surely kill him with my own hands."

Hearing the first part of the words, Yue Qianchou trembled, vaguely guessing that the person he mentioned was his Master. But when he heard the name Hao Wuwei, he immediately understood that Lu Wanqian was likely trying to pass a fake off as genuine to find an opportunity to escape. However, this was also good. If that sister was truly his Master's lover, he would feel too embarrassed to have any improper thoughts.

The Hundred Charm Demoness's eyes flickered as she stared at Yue Qianchou for a few moments. Her expression turned serious, and she sternly said, "So what if he's Hao Wuwei's disciple? The disciple of such a heartless and cruel person can't be good either. Even if you don't kill him, I want to kill him quickly!" With that, she transformed into a red shadow and pounced like a phantom.

"What the hell! No matter how beautiful the girl is, my life is more important!" Yue Qianchou was startled. Just as he was about to hide in the golden bead, his neck tightened, and his mind went blank again. He vaguely felt Lu Wanqian throw him out. As soon as his consciousness returned, he felt himself enveloped in a soft, fragrant embrace. Opening his eyes, he found himself floating gently onto the ground. A group of people overhead was chasing Lu Wanqian.

Huh? Strange? I'm actually fine? Yue Qianchou couldn't believe it. But both sides wanted him dead. Looking around, he saw no one. The smell of blood was pungent, and the ground was littered with shattered corpses. It was clear that most of them were from the Qingguang Sect. He could vaguely make out the bodies of some Qingguang Sect Elders. He no longer dared to have any improper thoughts. With a thought, his form vanished from the spot.
