"Very good. Take this Soul-Bewildering Powder and have a good look at it. If you use it cleverly, it will surely make that brat utterly devoted to you, crazed to the point of losing his soul."
The Blood Shadow Sect Master stuffed the vermilion-red pill in his hand into Meiying's palm.
Meiying accepted it carefully, her gaze complicated and unreadable.
"Go. I shall await your good news."
The Blood Shadow Sect Master waved his hand, signaling for Meiying to withdraw.
"This subordinate takes her leave."
Meiying bowed and departed silently.
When the door closed once more, a smug smile curled across the Blood Shadow Sect Master's lips.
"Heh heh, Qin Shaofeng. No matter how clever your heart may be, you cannot outfight my schemes."
He muttered sinisterly, his tone brimming with contempt. "What Unity of Heaven and Man? Before beauty, it is nothing more than a pile of trash! Once you fall into the net of love, that will be the day you die! Hahahaha..."
His wild laughter echoed through the secret chamber, lingering for a long while.
At Myriad Monster Peak.
Qin Shaofeng sat cross-legged, cultivating the Nine Transformations of the Firmament.
Golden light swirled around him, while his aura surged like the sea.
It seemed as though his entire body was about to ascend, breaking through the shackles of mortal flesh.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, are you there?"
A soft, coquettish voice echoed through the mountain forest.
Qin Shaofeng abruptly opened his eyes and sprang to his feet.
He saw a woman dressed in white slowly approaching.
Her skin was like congealed cream, her brows and eyes as picturesque as a painting.
Her large, limpid eyes shimmered with seductive ripples.
She was as breathtakingly beautiful as an exiled immortal, enough to intoxicate the heart and bewilder the soul.
