Let Me Confess for You!

The washerwoman was unwilling to fight Lu Yang and his two companions, but that didn't mean she couldn't fight them!

They actually dare to think they can defeat themselves? Do they really think they're made of clay?!

The scroll floated in the air, and water gushed out from it like a waterfall, filling the entire dark room.

Seeing this, Lu Yang grabbed Master Song by the collar and ran outside. He was fine, but Master Song was just a mortal. Trapped in the dark room, he would drown in less than a minute.

The four of them had just returned to the ground when they heard a loud bang. The small house built on top of the secret room was shattered, and water gushed out of the painting like a spring, surging upwards. The washerwoman stood on the spring, looking down at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang's lips accidentally touched a few drops of water, and he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.

"This is... fresh water!"

Tao Yaoye: "?"

Lanting: "?"

What is Senior Brother Lu Yang saying?

Why would you taste it to check the saltiness, especially since it's fresh water? Isn't that a normal thing to do?

Feeling the gazes of his two junior sisters, Lu Yang coughed lightly, pretending nothing had happened.

After the incident with the water ghost in Hanshui City, Lu Yang habitually tried to determine whether the other party used saltwater or freshwater.

With a flick of her sleeve, the washerwoman caused the spring water beneath her feet to split into three streams, transforming into three water pythons that rushed toward the three men.

Lu Yang was completely unafraid. He drew his Qingfeng sword, and the Sword Qi energy soared into the sky. He cleaved the water python in two. Originally, the water python could have been split in two, but this sword strike contained countless small Sword Qi. These small Sword Qi continuously pierced through the water droplets, giving no chance for a new water python to form.

Tao Yaoye spreads out the Thousand Illusion Umbrella, its crimson surface like a shield. The water python crashes into it and instantly crumbles.

The ribbons wrapped around Lanting's waist fluttered, stretching and lengthening to lock the water python charging at her. The python rolled on the ground, shaking the earth, trying to break free of the ribbons' restraints.

"Very well, I really underestimated you!" The washerwoman was secretly shocked. Her sudden attack would have been a disadvantage even for an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm, but she hadn't expected it to be blocked by these three brats.

"Disperse!"

At her command, the three water pythons scattered like melting snow in winter, then coalesced again to form a waterfall seven or eight zhang long.

The waterfall cascaded down, engulfing the three people.

"Receive!"

As the washerwoman shouted "Collect," Lu Yang and his two companions, the water in the painting, and the washerwoman all vanished, leaving only the stunned Song Yuanwai and the painting lying on the ground.

"Is this part of a painting?" Lu Yang looked down at his hands. The hands had no skin, no bones, no blood, and were clearly black and white, lifelike.

He became a figure in the painting, his entire being formed from splashes of ink.

"I haven't seen Junior Sister Tao and Junior Sister Lan. Were they separated? That washerwoman does have some brains."

This wasn't the first time he'd seen this tactic. Back when he was being beaten up by his senior brothers and sisters, a senior sister who was skilled in painting had used this trick on him.

The way to break this spell is simple: defeat the caster to escape the ink painting state.

Of course, if the spellcaster defeats Lu Yang, Lu Yang will also be able to break free from the ink painting state. As for why Lu Yang knows this, there is no need to go into details.

"Is this in a painting?"

Lanting observed the surrounding environment and quickly made a judgment.

The washerwoman appeared out of nowhere, arousing Lanting's suspicion.

The washerwoman raised her hand to stop Lanting: "Don't hit me, I mean no harm."

"Little girl, what is your wish? I can grant it for you, but the price is that you spare my life."

After their exchange, the washerwoman realized that it was impossible for her to fight three opponents at once, so she decided to take them down one by one.

The desire and the price are the rules left behind by the one who created the scroll, and even the washerwoman herself must fulfill them.

If a promised wish is not fulfilled, there will be punishment.

Correspondingly, if she can fulfill her wish, her combat power will increase by a level.

"Any wish is allowed?" Lan Ting still looked at the other person warily.

"Speak freely, as long as it's within my capabilities."

Lanting tentatively asked, her cheeks slightly flushed, "For example, confessing to Senior Brother Lu Yang getting him to accept me?"

The washerwoman looked Lanting up and down, noting his handsome appearance and good figure—the kind of man men all like.

"This is not difficult."

The washerwoman transformed into Lanting's appearance. "Watch me confess your love for you!"

A similar scene unfolded with Tao Yaoye. The washerwoman was utterly bewildered, unable to comprehend where this male cultivator's charm came from, captivating the two beauties to their core.

"Senior Brother Lu Yang, we've finally found you."

The washerwoman split in two, transforming into the likenesses of Lanting and Tao Yaoye, and, feigning fear, ran toward Lu Yang.

The two women pounced on Lu Yang, leaving him completely bewildered.

He had never encountered this situation before.

"Tao Yaoye," her eyes brimming with tears and her face flushed, nestled against Lu Yang's chest, looking at him with an alluring gaze. "Senior Brother Lu Yang, actually I've always..."

"Lanting" hurriedly said, "Actually, I am also..."

Lu Yang reached out and interrupted the two, "Junior sisters, how could your senior brother not understand your feelings? But we are senior and junior brothers and sisters, and we cannot do such a thing. It violates ethics, and what will the world think of us?"

"Tao Yaoye" said with a determined look in her eyes, "Senior Brother, I am not afraid of the world's opinions!"

"Lanting" chimed in urgently, "That's right, Senior Brother! What do the opinions of the world have to do with us? We live for ourselves, why should we care about the opinions of the world? Can the opinions of the world determine everything?"

Lu Yang became increasingly troubled, feeling more and more that this matter was not right. "But my cultivation is not high enough, and my experience is insufficient. I am afraid I am not as perfect as my two junior sisters think."

"It's alright, senior brother. Imperfection is fine too."

"Yeah, yeah, no one is perfect."

Lu Yang shook his head. "It still won't work. Even if I agree, how could the Sixth Elder and Palace Master Luo agree to such an absurd thing?"

"They'll agree!"

Lu Yang felt he had been tactful enough, but seeing his two junior sisters' resolute attitude, he had no choice but to say, "But you two both have immortal bodies, while I have Sword Spirit Root and know nothing about immortal bodies. Even if you become my disciples, I cannot teach you."

"Will you become my disciple?"

"That's right, didn't you all think that I showed off my skills in the finals and became the number one mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, so you wanted to become my disciples?"

Having lived two lives, Lu Yang had never experienced matters between men and women, and therefore couldn't quite understand women's various behaviors. The Invincible Pill couldn't help with this kind of thing.

However, he has the advantage of the Immortal Fairy. When the fairy first awakened, she said that as a woman, she understands women's thoughts best and can help Lu Yang win over the woman he likes.

Even if the fairy can't be trusted in other ways, she should know more about this kind of thing than I do.

Washerwoman: "..."

Having failed in her confession and without fulfilling her wish, the washerwoman's spirits waned, and she could no longer maintain the painting, vomiting out the three of them.

She looked at Lu Yang as if facing a formidable enemy. "I truly underestimated you; you've actually figured out my rules!"

Lu Yang was completely confused, not understanding what the washerwoman was saying.

And how did I end up out here all of a sudden?

Isn't the goal to defeat the spellcaster?
