The yellow sand stretched endlessly, and the ground was carpeted with the densely packed corpses of Sand Spiders.

A full thousand or more Sand Spiders had been so easily dealt with. The newcomer's strength had truly reached a shocking level.

Taking out a clean white cloth with his left hand, he wiped the Flying Rainbow Sword clean before sheathing it.

Lu Yunxiao held his sword and stared straight at the sky.

A gentle breeze blew as the green figure slowly descended from the air, revealing her appearance and figure.

She wore a green dress and carried a slender, exquisite green longsword in her hand.

Her figure was graceful and enchanting, her Three Thousand Strands of Black Hair drifting in the wind. Her entire person exuded a faint, detached immortal aura.

Lu Yunxiao's gaze shifted, and when he saw that flawless, lovely face, his whole body trembled slightly.

Pure as spring water,

clean as snow from the Ninth Heavens,

fresh as a lotus rising from the water,

serene as an orchid in an empty valley!

What an unparalleled beauty, untouched by mud yet untainted, washed by clear ripples yet never alluring. She had gathered all the spiritual grace of heaven and earth.

Coupled with the trace of innate nobility she possessed, she radiated an astonishing charm that made it impossible to look away.

"What a beautiful woman. She is truly peerless." Lu Yunxiao softly murmured, his eyes filled with Stunning Color.

It was not as if he had never seen beautiful women before, but this was truly the first time he had encountered such an outstanding, peerless beauty.

"Has the Host fallen for her?" the system's chuckling voice sounded in Lu Yunxiao's mind.

"To be honest, a little," Lu Yunxiao replied solemnly in his mind.

Being moved was simply being moved. People were visual creatures; it was perfectly normal to long for beautiful things upon seeing them.

Besides, he was alone and in the prime of his youth. It was hardly excessive to feel a little stirred upon seeing such a beauty.

"Host, this is lust at first sight!" the system said with a wicked grin.

"Pah, do you even know how to speak? This is called love at first sight," Lu Yunxiao retorted.

"Tsk, everyone who acts on lust at first sight says that," the system said gloomily.

Hearing this, Lu Yunxiao curled his lips without comment.

His gaze shifted slightly. The green figure had already landed, only three meters away from him.

At such close range, her exquisite face became even clearer. Her eyes were like stars, her lips like vermilion, her skin fairer than snow, and her Beautiful Features like a painting. She was breathtakingly beautiful.

The breeze blew, and Lu Yunxiao could even smell the Quiet, Elegant fragrance emanating from her body.

With such looks, such strength, and such temperament, Lu Yunxiao had completely confirmed her identity. In the entire Jia Ma Empire, there was only one person like her.

Thinking of this, his gaze softened by another measure. After all, the person before him had been his favorite character when he had read the book.

She was a good woman, a very good woman.

"Thank you, Sister, for saving my life. Lu Yunxiao offers you his respects."

Lu Yunxiao clasped his hands and thanked the Woman in Green.

"Sister?" the Woman in Green softly repeated, her gaze flickering slightly. Since becoming the Sect Master, this was the first time she had heard someone call her Sister.

After all, she was the leader of a sect and held a noble status. Usually, no one dared call her Sister.

Still, the feeling was rather special.

Her phoenix eyes shifted as the Woman in Green examined Lu Yunxiao. His Sword Eyebrows and starry eyes, refined features, and handsome appearance made him a rare beauty among men. In particular, that Immortal-like temperament of his made him seem all the more Unworldly and Refined.

Though she was not someone who judged others by appearance, this Youth's looks greatly pleased her. He could truly be called the finest-looking man she had ever seen.

Moreover, she did not know whether it was merely her imagination, but she felt that this Youth possessed a strange aura that made people instinctively want to draw close to him. The more she looked at him, the more pleasing he seemed to the eye.

Though they had only just met, she truly had a good impression of this Youth.

"It was merely a small effort. Little Brother, there is no need to thank me." The Woman in Green waved her hand and smiled softly.

"To Sister, it may have been a small effort, but to me, it was the grace of saving my life. I will remember it deeply. Should you ever have need of me in the future, I will not refuse even at the cost of my life."

Lu Yunxiao spoke in a firm tone.

That was simply his nature. He repaid kindness and revenge alike. Even a drop of kindness deserved repayment with a spring, much less the grace of saving his life.

"Host, although you are expressing your gratitude, this system feels that you have ulterior motives."

The system suddenly spoke.

"Just shut up." Lu Yunxiao replied irritably in his mind.

"Fine, this system will shut up. As expected, you are the sort who forgets all humanity once he sees a woman. This system has truly placed its trust in the wrong person."

The system sighed.

Lu Yunxiao: "..."

He suddenly realized that his system was far more dramatic than usual.

Meanwhile, upon hearing Lu Yunxiao's words, a smile appeared at the corner of the Woman in Green's mouth. No one wanted to save an ungrateful wretch, and Lu Yunxiao's words made her appreciate him even more.

She stared at Lu Yunxiao for a while, a glimmer of delight appearing in her eyes.

He looked no more than fourteen or fifteen, yet his cultivation had already reached the Six-Star Dou Practitioner level. His foundation was extremely solid, and his combat strength was exceptional. He could even battle a Second-Order Magical Beast. Such talent surpassed even Yanran's.

If he could be recruited into the Misty Cloud Sect, he would surely become a great asset to the Misty Cloud Sect in the future and lead it to even greater heights.

Her heart stirred, and she asked, "Little Brother, your talent is extraordinary. May I ask which sect has produced such an outstanding disciple?"

The Misty Cloud Sect was the foremost sect in the Jia Ma Empire, but it was not the only sect in the Jia Ma Empire. That was why the Woman in Green asked this question.

Hearing her question, Lu Yunxiao was slightly stunned. Then, after a turn of thought, he immediately understood the Woman in Green's intentions. However, he did not hide anything and merely said softly, "I have not joined any sect. I am still an independent cultivator."

"An independent cultivator?" The Woman in Green's eyes lit up. "Then let me introduce you to a place. Would you be willing to go?"

"What place?" Lu Yunxiao asked.

"The Misty Cloud Sect. I have a friend who is the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect. The Misty Cloud Sect welcomes geniuses such as yourself the most. Moreover, the sect possesses all manner of profound Cultivation Techniques and Dou Skills, and the Tier 6 Alchemist Pill King Gu He presides there. If you join the Misty Cloud Sect, you will certainly receive the best training."

The Woman in Green smiled as she spoke.

"A friend?" Lu Yunxiao's eye twitched. As expected of you, making up a friend out of thin air.

The Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect?

Were you not standing right in front of me?

"Little Brother, are you willing to go?" the Woman in Green asked with a smile.

Lu Yunxiao fell silent, his expression somewhat hesitant. After a long while, he suddenly asked, "Sister, does this count as a request from you?"
