"Fairy! You smell so good!"
Jiang Chuan looked at the young woman before him, the words nearly slipping from his mouth.
She wore blue robes and looked seventeen or eighteen. Her peerless face seemed like heaven's most perfect masterpiece, without the slightest flaw.
With skin whiter than snow, a lovely body rising and falling like mountain ranges, and that sweet, fresh fragrance emanating from her body—
Simply standing there, she resembled a blooming immortal flower, intoxicating to behold.
As Jiang Chuan sized her up, a strange sensation welled up within him.
Hungry!
So hungry!
Jiang Chuan felt as if he had starved for three days and three nights. He desperately wanted to "eat" the young woman before him.
"What's going on? Why would I have such thoughts?"
When Jiang Chuan came back to his senses, a chill ran down his spine.
While Jiang Chuan was observing her, she was observing Jiang Chuan as well.
"Fellow Daoist of the Buddhist path, do you happen to know how to get to Ant Mountain?"
"Ant Mountain?"
Jiang Chuan recalled the Underground Abyss map he had obtained from Qu Changhe's Storage Bag.
"Head south from here for three thousand li, and you'll reach Ant Mountain."
"Thank you so much. These past few days, every Earth Demon Tribe member and human cultivator I met wanted to kill me. When I asked for directions, you were the first to answer me."
The young woman said excitedly, "Fellow Daoist, you really are a good person."
Jiang Chuan: "..."
Miss, could you stop handing out good person cards so casually?
It was true that I was a good person, but you didn't have to say it out loud!
Then Jiang Chuan recalled the severed limbs and broken arms he had seen along the way.
An absurd thought surfaced in his mind.
"Fairy, you're too polite. I am Jiang Chuan of Bodhi Temple. May I ask which sect you are a disciple of?"
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, my name is Lu Chenling. I am a disciple of the Seven Kill Demonic Sect."
After receiving the exact answer from Lu Chenling, Jiang Chuan froze for a moment before revealing an incredulous expression.
The young woman before him was even more beautiful and pure than the fairies of the immortal sects.
No matter how Jiang Chuan looked at her, he could not see her as someone of the demonic path!
She was the Seven Kill Demonic Sect's number one prodigy, the Seven Kill Demoness!
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, what's wrong?" Lu Chenling blinked her large eyes.
"I simply didn't expect that Fairy would be the Seven Kill Demoness."
Jiang Chuan sighed sincerely. "My Fairy Lu is even more beautiful and pure than the fairies of the immortal path. You truly do not look like someone of the demonic path."
"My father said my mother is the Vice Palace Mistress of Taixu Immortal Palace. It's perfectly normal that I don't look like someone of the demonic path," Lu Chenling answered.
"The Vice Palace Mistress of Taixu Immortal Palace." Jiang Chuan's heart shook.
The vice palace mistress of Taixu Immortal Palace, one of the Seven Immortal Dao Sects, actually had a daughter!
One had to know that Taixu Immortal Palace did not permit its disciples to marry!
Yet the Vice Palace Mistress of Taixu Immortal Palace actually had a daughter!
If this news got out, the entire Qingyuan Realm would likely be thrown into upheaval!
"Fortunately, this is only a simulation."
At that thought, Jiang Chuan's gossiping heart blazed up once more.
"Fairy Lu, forgive my presumption, but who is your father?"
"My father is Lu Jinglin, the sect master of the Seven Kill Demonic Sect," Lu Chenling answered.
"The Seven Kill Demonic Sect's sect master and the Vice Palace Mistress of Taixu Immortal Palace actually have a daughter!"
Cold sweat streamed down Jiang Chuan's forehead. He felt that at any moment, eight flying swords might pierce straight through him.
Or the Seven Kill Demonic Sect's sect master might swat him to death with one massive palm, leaving behind a single sentence.
Boy, you know too many secrets!
"Fairy Lu, your father didn't come to the Underground Abyss, did he?"
"He didn't."
Lu Chenling shook her head. "But my father left me a talisman. As long as I crush it, he can come at any time. Fellow Daoist Jiang, if you need something from my father, I can call him over right now."
"Don't crush it! Absolutely don't crush it!"
Jiang Chuan hurriedly stopped her. "I have no business with your father."
"Since Fellow Daoist Jiang has no business with my father, I shall take my leave."
As Lu Chenling spoke, she rose and prepared to head toward Ant Mountain.
Jiang Chuan's eye twitched.
"Fairy Lu."
"Mm? Fellow Daoist Jiang, is there something else?"
"No."
"Then why did you call me?"
"You're going the wrong way. Ant Mountain is south. The direction you're heading now is north."
Jiang Chuan had never expected that Lu Chenling before him was actually directionally challenged!
"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Jiang." Lu Chenling hastily thanked him.
The Seven Kill Demoness everyone imagined was powerful, bloodthirsty, and full of cunning schemes.
The real Seven Kill Demoness was not only beautiful and polite, but also hopelessly bad with directions!
"Fairy Lu, are you really the Seven Kill Demoness?" No matter how Jiang Chuan looked, the young woman before him did not seem connected to a demoness in the slightest.
Lu Chenling nodded lightly.
"For some reason, I seem to possess a kind of magic that makes every living creature that comes near me want to eat me. Over time, my fellow disciples began calling me the Seven Kill Demoness."
Demoness.
A woman whose thoughts were as wicked as demons ×
A beautiful girl with magical power √
"Then what about the rumors outside that you used an Asura to practice your sword?"
"I couldn't find Ant Mountain, so I asked the Asura Demons for directions. But the moment they saw me, they wanted to kill me."
Lu Chenling stamped her foot and said indignantly, "I fought back and killed quite a few Asura Demons, but the remaining ones didn't know where Ant Mountain was either."
"Since the Asura Demons didn't know where Ant Mountain was, I thought an Asura might know. So I had the Asura Demons call over an Asura."
"But that Asura said he wanted to eat me the moment he saw me. Naturally, I wouldn't let him eat me, so we started fighting."
Jiang Chuan: "..."
This was what they meant by using an Asura to practice swordsmanship?
Fairy Yu Yang, this was completely different from what you told me!
Could we stop spreading baseless rumors next time?
To deepen your relationship, you decided to escort Lu Chenling to Ant Mountain.
Lu Chenling was also aware of her poor sense of direction, so she agreed at once.
Along the way, you encountered many Earth Demon Tribe members.
Surrounded and attacked by the many Earth Demon Tribe members, you witnessed the Seven Kill Sword of the Seven Kill Demonic Sect.
The Seven Kill Sword of the Seven Kill Demonic Sect was said to kill heaven, kill earth, kill gods, kill demons, kill yao, kill Buddhas, and kill immortals.
Lu Chenling seemed to slash out with a single sword, yet in your perception, that strike gave rise to countless swords that filled the void.
Anything swept by the sword edge turned into particles too tiny to discern.
Lu Chenling parted her cherry lips, and an Inner Scenery Map flew from her mouth.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The scroll contained blue skies and white clouds, green mountains and clear waters, as well as flying swords gleaming with razor-sharp edges.
As Lu Chenling activated it, flying swords shot from her Inner Scenery Map and slaughtered the Eagle-headed Demons all around them.
"This Inner Scenery Map..."
A look of surprise appeared on Jiang Chuan's face.
Lu Chenling asked, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, is there something wrong with my Inner Scenery Map?"
"The elders in my temple said that an Inner Scenery Map is a world painted with one's blood and qi as paper, and one's mana as ink."
Jiang Chuan raised his hand and pointed toward the flying swords in the sky.
"Fairy Lu, why does your Inner Scenery Map contain so many flying swords in addition to heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers?"
"So Fellow Daoist was curious about that!"
Lu Chenling asked in return, "Does Fellow Daoist know why heaven and earth look the way they do now?"
