The Difficult Search
The sleeping quarters were extravagantly luxurious! The noise was constant, yet the backyard remained quiet and peaceful. (Personal observation)
"This gentleman must be the renowned Senior Niu Youde?" the disheveled woman asked respectfully. A hint of doubt flickered in her alluring eyes. Had she seen this Senior Niu somewhere before? She then carefully observed Yue Qianchou.
Yue Qianchou nodded silently, but his heart skipped a beat. Those eyes were all too familiar. That alluring gaze, so similar to that of the Hundred Charm Demoness. However, her disheveled appearance made it impossible to discern her true face.
Suppressing his inner turmoil and doubt, Yue Qianchou transmitted his voice to Yan Yu: "Yan Yu, restore her to her original appearance."
Yan Yu understood immediately and said to the disheveled woman, "I don't care who you are, what do you have to say? Please be sincere. I don't think there's anything to say to someone who hides their face." She casually pointed to a small room next to the bungalow. It was the bathing area; the meaning was clear, no further explanation needed to be given.
The disheveled woman chuckled. She gave the two a slight bow, then, without further ado, moved into the bathing enclosure.
Yue Qianchou stared at the figure disappearing behind the door, slightly lost in thought. He realized that not only did this woman's eyes resemble those of Hundred Charm Demoness, but even her laughter was exactly the same. Although her true appearance was concealed by her disheveled and ugly attire, the moment she uttered a sound or revealed a smile or frown, her alluring charm was impossible to hide.
But why would Hundred Charm Demoness be here? Yue Qianchou frowned, already almost certain of the situation, but he still couldn't be sure until he saw her face. After all, Hundred Charm Demoness was the leader of a sect, so why would she come here so easily? If her identity were exposed, it would be too dangerous.
Yan glanced at the walled village, then at Yue Qianchou's expression, sensing that something was off about the latter.
The rushing water inside the enclosed house stopped, and a moment later, the wooden door creaked open. The two people in the courtyard froze simultaneously; Yan Yu's eyes were filled with amazement, while Yue Qianchou was utterly speechless.
A graceful figure emerged, her flowing veil billowing like mist, her alluring smile radiant and captivating—truly a peerless beauty who could bewitch all beings. Who else could it be but the Hundred Charm Demoness?
The Hundred Charm Demoness approached the two men, casually twirling around with her arms outstretched. Her movements, revealing glimpses of spring beneath the sheer veil, were incredibly alluring; every gesture and movement exuded charm. Then, she gracefully curtsied and said, "My lords, how sincere am I?"
Yan Yu's expression of amazement hadn't yet faded when, standing next to the woman opposite her, she suddenly felt a pang of inferiority. She used to be quite confident in her charm, but now she knew the true meaning of "there are always people more capable than you, and the world is vastly different."
As a woman, this was the first time she had ever realized that a woman could be so womanly, that even other women were moved by her.
The two women stood side by side, their looks equally matched, but in terms of charm, the difference was immense. One was like a disciple just beginning to grasp the essence of allure, enough to make any man's heart flutter. The other was a captivating grandmaster, capable of bewitching all. They were simply not in the same league.
It really was her! Yue Qianchou was speechless. He didn't find it strange at all; the reason the Hundred Charm Demoness -Hundred Charm Demoness was called that was precisely because of her Jue Tian allure. Besides, after spending some time together, he had developed some of her charm. At this moment, he really wanted to shout at her, "What are you doing here? You're just causing trouble, are you tired of living?"
Yan Yu glanced at Yue Qianchou, slightly taken aback, and felt a surge of curiosity. This woman was so alluring, even to herself. But Niu Youde's gaze remained somewhat cold.
"No wonder you're hiding your true face. With your charm, once you reveal yourself, I'm afraid you won't even make it to the Treasure Gathering Basin," Yan Yu couldn't help but praise. She then asked, "Didn't you have something to say to me? Please speak!"
"I don't lie to honest people." Hundred Charm Demoness said calmly to Yan Yu, "I want to find a place to stay here with the master, but my gaze keeps drifting towards Yue Qianchou, still a little doubtful."
Yan Yu paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I don't know what you're planning, and I don't care to know. But my Spring Sleep Tower is full of unfortunate people; we're too weak and powerless to cause trouble. Please find another place to stay. I'm sorry!"
Hundred Charm Demoness explained, "Master Yan, you misunderstand. I absolutely did not come here to cause trouble. I just heard about the lively Treasure Gathering Basin Convention and wanted to come and see. I will leave after the Treasure Gathering Basin Convention ends."
"Oh!" Yan Yu said dismissively, "There are many restaurants and inns in Treasure Gathering Basin, and although they are a bit expensive, I'm sure this lady isn't short of money."
"I really don't want to be bothered too much, and I dare not cause any trouble, "Hundred Charm Demoness said with a wry smile as she looked at her own figure.
Yan Yu paused for a moment. Admittedly, given her looks, showing herself openly would indeed cause trouble. That's the tragedy of women. She paused again and said, "Then why did you choose to stay at my Spring Sleep Tower?"
Upon hearing this, Hundred Charm Demoness turned around and bowed to Yue Qianchou, saying, "Naturally, it's because of Senior Niu. Senior Niu's cultivation is profound, and his name is renowned throughout the world. With Senior Niu at Spring Sleep Tower, it's a completely different experience!"
Sleeping Building
Yue Qianchou was speechless. You really know how to pick places. Back in China, you hid in the Myriad Flower Pavilion. Now you want to hide in the Spring Sleep Tower. Why do I always seem to run into you in places like this?
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard. Sikong Jue appeared abruptly and nodded slightly to Yan Yu. The latter quickly returned the greeting, saying, "Senior Sikong." Sikong Jue glanced sharply at Hundred Charm Demoness. After a slight pause, he bowed to Yue Qianchou and said, "Senior Niu, my master invites you to God of Wealth Peak for a chat."
"They've arrived!" Yue Qianchou nodded. He glanced at Hundred Charm Demoness and transmitted his voice to Yan Yu, "This woman's background is unusual. Let's take her in for now! She won't be of any trouble to you." He casually tossed out a flying sword and dashed towards the God of Wealth Peak. Sikong Jue glanced at Hundred Charm Demoness again and soared away.
"Is this the Spirit Transformation stage expert, Sikong Jue?" Hundred Charm Demoness asked intently. Upon receiving Yan Yu's confirmation, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. She had sneaked all the way here, never expecting to encounter two legendary Spirit Transformation stage experts today.
Since the Huaxia Cultivation World learned of the existence of Spirit Transformation stage experts in other countries, every sect is now living in fear, worried about potential annihilation. Fortunately, Yue Qianchou, the former Scum of the Cultivation World who was forced to withdraw from the Cultivation World alliance, has already made a name for himself in those countries. It's rumored he's even established relationships with some Spirit Transformation stage experts. Therefore, regardless of their past relationship with Yue Qianchou, sects have secretly sent people to try and contact him.
When the enchanting enchantress heard that there was Number One Expert Under Heaven in the Cultivation World, she was immediately shocked.
Because she remembered Yue Qianchou once telling her that his current master was an invincible figure. She hadn't known before, but after learning the truth, Hundred Charm Demoness was deeply moved. In the entire Cultivation World, if anyone could be considered invincible, it would likely only be the world-renowned Bi Changchun.
Connecting the various stories circulating about Yue Qianchou from this side, Ermei Yaoji became increasingly certain of her guess. It is said that the unfathomably powerful Bi Changchun had a close friend, a Spirit Transformation stage expert named Mr. Nongzhu.
At the Blade Drawing Tournament, it seemed the group from Wuji Island were wary of the Ziyi girl beside Yue Qianchou, mentioning that her master was Mr. Nongzhu. Later, it was rumored that Yue Qianchou had been with Mr. Nongzhu while in the Great Yang Kingdom. This coincidence was no coincidence. Hundred Charm Demoness was now almost certain that Yue Qianchou's master was none other than the Number One Expert Under Heaven Bi Changchun, Bi Changchun. Having learned this secret unexpectedly, she remained silent, yet was overjoyed!
The Illusion Demon Palace was already declining under her leadership, and now it faced such a dire situation. She absolutely could not allow it to truly perish under her rule. Even if the Huaxia Cultivation World were to fall, she would find a way to preserve the Illusion Demon Palace; it was her duty as its master. But the Spirit Transformation stage experts from various nations, standing at the pinnacle of the Cultivation World, were such powerful beings! With her abilities, she had absolutely no hope of saving it.
So she thought of Yue Qianchou, the disciple of the Number One Expert Under Heaven, who should be able to help her. However, the remaining Elder Council of the Illusion Demon Palace wouldn't allow their palace Elder Council to take such a risk so easily. Despite their strong opposition, she resolutely decided to seek Yue Qianchou's help. Her reason for persuading the Elder Council was that various sects were currently sending people to contact Yue Qianchou, but her close relationship with him gave her an advantage over others. For the stability of the Illusion Demon Palace, before leaving, she passed the position of the Illusion Demon Palace master to one of the elders.
She knew her beauty would bring trouble. After sneaking in, she disguised herself in an unsightly manner and secretly searched for Yue Qianchou. However, when she arrived, Yue Qianchou to have vanished into thin air; despite her arduous search, she couldn't find a single trace of him.
The convening of the Treasure Gathering Basin Convention gave her a glimmer of hope. She was certain Yue Qianchou was someone who enjoyed joining in the fun, and perhaps she could find him at the Treasure Gathering Basin Convention. If she really couldn't find him, she was prepared to risk venturing into that Demon Ghost Domain ...
Having finally arrived at the Treasure Gathering Basin, a problem arose. Since Yue Qianchou was determined to conceal his tracks, even if he came to the Treasure Gathering Basin, he might not let anyone know. So how could she find him? Fortunately, the Spring Sleep Tower was causing quite a stir, and with the mysterious expert Niu Youde backing her up, no one dared to cause trouble for the Spring Sleep Tower. She gritted her teeth and decided to reveal her true face at the Spring Sleep Tower. Presumably, with her beauty, she could quickly become famous throughout the Treasure Gathering Basin.
Once Yue Qianchou arrives at the Treasure Gathering Basin, it's unlikely he'll know she's there and wouldn't be heartless enough to refuse to come out and see her. Hundred Charm Demoness naturally knows how dangerous this is; revealing her face would be easy, but escaping would be difficult. But without a doubt, this is the most promising way to find Yue Qianchou.
