Hun Li Li: I'm a Seductress, I'm a Seductress (Self-Hypnosis in Progress...)

Deep in the Back Mountain Jia Nan Academy, there is a clearing surrounded by tall ancient trees and jagged rocks, which is a secluded place that Xun'er often visits.

This place is far from the main road of the academy, quiet and secluded, making it an excellent location for friendly competition.

The last rays of the setting sun struggled to penetrate the layers of branches, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

Several people stood in a row in the room, the atmosphere subtle and solemn.

Xiao Yan stood in the center of the open space, the Heavy Profound Ruler already in his hand, his gaze fixed on the smiling Hun Li Li opposite him.

"Junior Sister Yun Li, please."

His voice was steady, devoid of emotion.

Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian stood side by side under an ancient tree near the entrance, their beautiful eyes fixed on Hun Li Li, their gazes filled with scrutiny and undisguised vigilance.

The invisible barriers of the alliance were now crystal clear.

Han Yue was a little further away, leaning against a huge rock. She had chosen a very good position, where she could see the situation clearly without attracting too much attention.

She tried her best to maintain her aloof demeanor, but the corner of her mouth twitched slightly—this level of chaotic scene with a battle in tow was just too stimulating!

She just hoped that the blood wouldn't splatter on her.

Hun Li Li ignored Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian's "watching," her gaze remaining fixed on Xiao Yan. She covered her mouth and chuckled, her red lips appearing particularly alluring in the setting sun.

"Senior Xiao Yan is really impatient~ Okay, but..."

She abruptly changed the subject, pointing her finger to her heart, her tone still carrying that mischievous smile:

"Senior, please go easy on me! Last time, your hot and forceful ruler really hurt me, and my heart is still pounding when I think about it~"

Her tone was seven parts seductive and three parts lingering fear, which, combined with her alluring figure and tearful expression, was extremely impactful, making her a veritable enchantress.

"..."

Xiao Yan's eye twitched uncontrollably.

He's not some sexually repressed virgin. Her tricks might work once or twice, but using them too often is less arousing than when Queen Medusa tramples on Xiao Yan with a disgusted look on her face.

Deep down, the Old Yao couldn't suppress his gloating laughter any longer.

"Hehehe... Little Yanzi, you're in for a treat! This girl is quite interesting!"

Xiao Yan thought helplessly to himself:

"Teacher! Is this the time to laugh!?"

Xun'er's brows furrowed instantly; she felt her temples throbbing.

These sticky, suggestive words made her feel so uncomfortable and wary that she almost broke through the limits of her patience.

Xiao Yi Xian subconsciously rubbed her fingertips together, and a faint grayish-purple aura quietly slipped through.

This woman is too outrageous.

Han Yue hid behind a rock and almost bit her tongue.

Good heavens, how could such words be said in front of the two "official wives"?! Is this something she should even hear?

No wonder everyone says that Yun Li is a vixen. Ordinary men would probably fall for her just by looking at her face, not to mention that she would say such provocative things!

However, Xun'er...

Han Yue really got to enjoy this drama!

Although it feels a bit dangerous, if I could get an even more shocking scoop, then dying would be worth it... well, it's better to live than die.

Xiao Yan, who was in the arena, took a deep breath, and his heart immediately became calm and still.

Let's put up with her for now, since she might be from the same planet. We'll teach her a lesson later!

"Hmph, enough nonsense!"

Xiao Yan snorted coldly, his eyes suddenly becoming incredibly sharp, and the Wind Flurry Residual Shadow beneath his feet instantly activated!

In front of Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian, one still needs to maintain the proper demeanor.

"Call out!"

A blurry blue shadow tore through the air, and the Heavy Profound Ruler, with a dull whistling sound, went straight for Hun Li Li's central gate without any fancy moves!

The heavy ruler, imbued with cobalt blue Dou Qi, had not yet reached her body when the strong wind it generated stirred the strands of hair at Hun Li Li's temples.

Despite Xiao Yan's exceptionally fierce attack, which was enough to make even a Great Da Dou Shi pale, Hun Li Li showed no sign of panic.

She even had time to glance in the direction of Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian, a provocative smile curving her red lips.

"You're so fierce today, senior! You were so gentle that night!"

She spoke with a mocking tone, yet her movements were as elusive as a ghost!

Just as the heavy, mountain-like ruler was about to strike, her slender body, like a wisp of red smoke blown by the wind, slid away, brushing against the edge of the ruler!

Her movements were fluid and graceful, her flowing red dress resembling a blooming Manjusaka, both dangerous and stunning.

There was no trace of him using any advanced Dou Technique; he relied purely on his terrifying physical attributes and powerful soul strength.

Han Yue, who was in the distance, widened her eyes upon hearing this.

Good heavens, is this something I can say?

What has happened between Senior Xiao Yan and Classmate Yun Li?

Her usually icy face began to blush slightly; she'd really enjoyed this gossip today!

Xiao Yan had naturally anticipated Hun Li Li's formidable strength, and his attacks continued relentlessly.

The Wind Flurry Residual Shadow flashed by, the ruler followed the body, changing from smashing to sweeping, and then turning into a dense rain of slashes!

Hun Li Li danced like a butterfly among flowers, flitting and weaving through the impenetrable shadows.

Sometimes she would lightly tap the side of the ruler to change its trajectory, and sometimes her jade palm would fly, bringing with it a strange, cold, and hidden force that tried to erode Xiao Yan's Dou Qi.

Although she was suppressing her true level of power, and the speed and strength she was currently displaying seemed to be stable at around Five-Star Da Dou Shi, her experience, skills, and exquisite use of power were far beyond what an ordinary Da Dou Shi could compare to!

Every seemingly casual block or dodge contains the deadly intent to instantly put an ordinary opponent at a disadvantage.

After fighting Xiao Yan once, she gained a deeper understanding of his strength. With her powerful soul force, Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan moves were completely under her control. Without underestimating her opponent, she also demonstrated the true strength that a proud daughter of heaven with God-Grade Bloodline and the strength of Dou Wang should have.

"Senior, this ruler is so hard! My hand is numb from it!"

She handled everything with ease, and still managed to come up with surprising remarks once again.

Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Putting aside Hun Li Li's flirtatious words, her effortless skill alone felt like a needle pricking their hearts.

Xiao Yan's attacks were already fierce and cunning. If it were them, they probably wouldn't have gained much advantage even if they went all out. But Yun Li was just playing around!

Compared to her nonchalant attitude during their first meeting, Hun Li Li today exuded a more composed and confident aura, a composure that made them somewhat uneasy.

Han Yue watched with bated breath. It seemed that Senior Xiao Yan was the one in charge, with his attacks being wide-open and powerful, but Yun Li's calm and composed demeanor was truly astonishing.

Is this what a battle between top geniuses looks like?

She was certain that even if she possessed the same strength as Yun Li, it would be unlikely that she could dodge and counterattack so easily against Senior Xiao Yan's fierce and relentless offensive.

Such strength is truly awe-inspiring.

If I had that kind of strength, perhaps I wouldn't have to come to the Jia Nan Academy to hide away and have peace and quiet because I'm being targeted.

Thinking of this, Han Yue clenched her fists.

Her talent wasn't bad, but it certainly couldn't compare to these prodigies in front of her, who were all younger than her but whose strength far surpassed hers.

But if I don't give it my all and cultivate until I have enough strength, one day I might end up like Senior Xiao Yan today, easily dealt with and verbally teased.

However, Yun Li seems to have a crush on Senior Xiao Yan. He's handsome, has a great figure, and is very strong.

What he had to face was a man who wanted to devour his family and who only had lust for him, without a trace of love.

I need to become stronger!

I also need to build good relationships with Senior Xiao Yan, Xun'er, and Senior Xiao Yi Xian Doctor.

Before she came to the Jia Nan Academy, Hong Chen, who had long coveted her, had already joined the Wind Lightning Pavilion. Such a force was beyond the capabilities of the Han Family.

These senior students clearly have extraordinary backgrounds. If we can get their help, perhaps we can help the Han Family overcome this crisis!

On the other side, Xiao Yan, who had been unable to break through after a long attack, finally found an opportunity. He deliberately created an opening, and as he swung his ruler, his left side was slightly exposed.

Hun Li Li's alluring eyes lit up, and as expected, she followed closely, her fair hand whistling as it reached for Xiao Yan's ribs!

This move was extremely fast and ruthless, clearly intended to force Xiao Yan to reveal more of his trump cards.

Chance!

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He immediately discarded the Heavy Profound Ruler, then stretched out one hand and used his arm to release the Sucking Palm, attracting Hun Li Li's hand. He then used the Cloud Hand to pull her along and released the pushing force of the Fire Blowing Palm, directly causing Hun Li Li's center of gravity to shift.

Immediately, he clenched his other hand into a fist and followed suit, compressing his Dou Qi within his meridians. With a swing of his fist, the compressed Dou Qi was unleashed.

Boom!

The compressed Dou Qi released from the outside instantly slammed into Hun Li Li's shoulder.

Hun Li Li, whose focus had been shifted by Xiao Yan, was taken aback.

Was that Taiji Cloud Hands just now?

Is this something that could possibly exist in the Dou Qi Continent?

Sensing the sudden burst of powerful energy from Xiao Yan behind her, Hun Li Li narrowed her eyes, and then her figure exploded instantly, transforming into several red silhouettes that scattered in all directions.

The powerful force of that punch shattered the afterimage she left behind and, without diminishing its momentum, struck a boulder.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, a perfectly clear fist imprint appeared on the boulder!

Hun Li Li appeared atop the canopy of an ancient tree, her gaze fixed solemnly on the giant rock.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the boulder instantly turned into dust, slowly dissipating into the smoke and dust!

At the same time, Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian were also stunned when they saw this scene. They did not expect that Xiao Yan's attack would have such power. An ordinary Da Dou Shi would probably suffer extremely serious internal injuries or even die directly from this punch, even if he had Dou Qi Armor protect him!

Han Yue couldn't understand it anymore.

Many Da Dou Shi can shatter boulders by releasing their Dou Qi.

But to reduce it to dust like Xiao Yan would require terrifying control and destructive power of Dou Qi.

At this moment, the knowing, playful smile on Hun Li Li's face had vanished.

She's read more than just Battle Through the Heavens.

In her world, there are many novels and comics that have been adapted into anime, although most of them are not entirely satisfactory, including even "Battle Through the Heavens," which she has read countless times.

But there were also some good works that left a deep impression on her.

Therefore, she almost immediately matched Xiao Yan's moves with the martial arts moves in the anime.

Taiji Cloud Hands, Parry and Punch!

Could it be that Xiao Yan still has memories of his past life? You know, in the original novel, Xiao Yan's transmigrator setting was just an extra with little follow-up development. There was no mention of him using his memories of his past life to do anything, let alone create such martial arts-like Dou Technique.

If that's the case...

Wouldn't that be even better?

A hint of joy surfaced deep in her eyes.

God knows how desperate she must have felt living in that hellish place of the Soul Clan for sixteen years.

Now that she sees the protagonist she's preparing to rely on might very well be a fellow villager she can recognize, Hun Li Li's heart is no longer at peace.

But she quickly realized that if that were the case, her previous teasing words to Xiao Yan, which might be considered a pleasing character design in a fantasy novel, would be quite different in the eyes of a modern person.

It seems a bit frivolous and dissolute...

Oh no, oh no, I hope I didn't leave a bad impression on him.

A wave of overwhelming embarrassment washed over her instantly.

Hun Li Li's pretty face turned pale instantly, then flushed uncontrollably, feeling a strong shock called "social death" for the first time.

No, I absolutely cannot let him find out that I am also a time traveler.

That's so embarrassing!

I am a demoness, I am a demoness.

When faced with difficulties, they just sleep it off, burying their heads in the sand like ostriches!

Hun Li Li hypnotized herself for a moment, then continued to maintain her image as a bewitching woman.

No problem, as long as her identity isn't exposed, she'll never be exposed!

She is a vixen, a thorny rose walking in the darkness; her provocative words are entirely part of her persona as a vixen!

Win!

After bolstering her own morale, she subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yan. His sharp black eyes were fixed on her, and besides his focused concentration on the battle, there seemed to be a hint of scrutiny in his gaze.

Not good!

That look in his eyes... could it be that he's already noticed something?

Yes, that Taiji just now was probably a test of me. How could Xiao Yan be so perceptive?

Hun Li Li felt that the defenses she had just built were on the verge of collapsing again.

Their eyes met, and the dappled sunlight filtering through them made the atmosphere between them even more tense and subtle than during their previous battle.

"Don't panic! I'm a demoness, how can I show weakness in front of a boy who's not even twelve years old!"

Hun Li Li gritted her teeth, desperately suppressing all the distracting thoughts in her mind, packing away the shock and embarrassment from before, and forcibly stuffing them back into the deepest part of her heart. She forced out a charming smile that was no different from before, even brighter than before, trying to use her flamboyant "persona" to cover up the turmoil in her heart.

"Ah~~~", she deliberately dragged out the sound, her voice carrying a hint of intentional panting, as she lightly twirled on the treetop, her red skirt fluttering Fire Lotus, "Senior Xiao Yan really scared me to death! That move of shattering rocks from a distance... so domineering, so majestic! My heart is still pounding!"

Having said that, she exaggeratedly patted her ample chest, deliberately shifting her gaze, ignoring Xiao Yan's probing look, and turned to Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian:

"Xun'er, Senior Sister Xiao Yi Xian, actually, Senior Brother isn't just powerful in battle, he's also incredibly formidable in other aspects!"

This familiar "teasing" rhythm is back online, Hun Li Li is trying to draw everyone's attention back to her pre-set script of "a vixen seducing a young genius".

Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian exchanged a glance, their delicate brows furrowing slightly.

They weren't blind, so they naturally noticed Hun Li Li's momentary stiffness and suspicious blush, but because her expression changed so quickly, they couldn't figure out what was wrong with the woman.

But this overly deliberate performance not only failed to dispel their doubts, but instead intensified them—this enchantress had clearly lost her composure because of something, yet now she was deliberately using this method to divert their attention; there must be something strange about this!

What is she trying to hide? Could it be because of Brother Xiao Yan's move?

Xun'er's mind raced.

She was familiar with the Dou Technique Xiao Yan had just used, because Elder Ling had once watched Xiao Yan practice a set of fist techniques every morning, and had even recorded it with Image Recording Bead and shown it to her.

That was indeed a good fist Dou Technique, especially after hearing Elder Ling say that it was Dou Technique created by Xiao Yan himself, her admiration and love for Xiao Yan grew even stronger.

The person she's chosen is undoubtedly the best!

But Hun Li Li's reaction was strange; it was as if she had also recognized that Dou Technique.

Xiao Yi Xian remained silent, but the faint grayish-purple aura lingering around her fingertips quietly dissipated.

In her previous life, she was able to become the sect leader of the Poison Sect, so her eyesight was naturally quite good, and she was also quite sensitive to certain emotions. It was not difficult for her to see the unusual emotions that Hun Li Li had just experienced.

Shy, embarrassed?

How interesting! For a demoness to experience such emotions?

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's Hun Li Li to cover up her misunderstanding, Xiao Yan's lips twitched almost imperceptibly upwards.

The curve was extremely faint, yet it carried a hint of understanding and amusement.

He realized that this woman was clearly trying to cover it up and desperately maintain her image as a vixen.

It seems my guess was right; this woman really is from my hometown!

Of course, he didn't intend to point it out immediately.

He could tell that Hun Li Li's reaction contained a hint of unease. Rather than exposing it, he thought it better to let her tell him herself one day.

But since they are members of the Soul Clan, they cannot be completely trusted. What if they are deliberately putting on an act to mislead us...?

Never mind, it's always better to be cautious.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan withdrew his probing gaze, his face once again displaying a somewhat helpless and troubled expression, as if he was at a loss with her shamelessness in trying to create some scandalous gossip about Xiao Yan, completely disregarding her own reputation.

He shrugged, pulled the Heavy Profound Ruler from the ground back into his hand, and casually put it back behind his back.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Stop thinking about 'sparring' and 'healing' me all the time." Xiao Yan's voice carried a hint of lazy teasing. "Even if that blow had hit Junior Sister Yun Li just now, with your unfathomable strength, it's unlikely she would have been injured."

"Oh, senior, you're too modest! In my heart, you're the strongest! As for your strength..." Her eyes sparkled, and she swept her seductive gaze over Xiao Yan, "You'll find out how deep he is when the time comes, senior... won't you?"

Xiao Yan fell silent for a moment upon hearing this.

How to put it... Yun Li's current feeling to him is like that of a girl who talks big online, saying she's taken off seven or eight times in a row on QQ Space, but in real life, she'd be anxious and insecure all day if her crush just glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.

Even though Xun'er had noticed some clues and reduced the perceived threat level of Hun Li Li, she still found it difficult to ignore such flirtatious words directed at her Brother Xiao Yan.

She snorted coldly, took a step forward, and was about to speak.

"Cough!"

A clear, dry cough sounded somewhat abruptly, yet at just the right moment.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Han Yue still leaning against the rock, trying her best to maintain the expression of an ice queen.

The melon was too big for her to handle, and besides, she genuinely wanted to become stronger.

As an "outsider" who was forcibly dragged there, she felt that if she didn't try to make herself noticed, she would be completely assimilated into the background by the strange atmosphere of the scene.

"Xun'er," Han Yue's voice was still cool, but it was noticeably more intimate than when she spoke to others, "I have some questions about the Dou Technique you instructed me on last time, and I would like to ask you for some more guidance, is that alright?"

Seeing that Xiao Yan's matter seemed to be coming to an end, she naturally wanted to try her best; otherwise, her original plan for today would be ruined.

Her words were like a bucket of cold water, cooling down the escalating confrontation and ambiguity in the room.

Xun'er gave Hun Li Li a deep look, swallowing back the warning that almost escaped her lips. If it weren't for her fear of the Soul Clan, she wouldn't have said much, given her personality.

She had always had great confidence in her Brother Xiao Yan. Turning to look at Han Yue, her usual gentle and calm smile returned to her face.

"Yes, of course, Junior Sister Han Yue." Xun'er nodded, then turned to Xiao Yan and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, if you're free, why don't you come along too? It'd be helping Xun'er out, okay?"

Xiao Yi Xian and Xun'er have recently become very close, like sisters. Needless to say, she spends a lot of time with Xun'er. Since there's not much else to do, she occasionally hears Xun'er talk about Xiao Yan's childhood, which is quite interesting.

"Hehe, since Xun'er has asked, I naturally have no problem with it."

He nodded and gave Xun'er a gentle smile.

Then, looking at the treetop, he smiled faintly and said, "Junior Sister Yun Li, remember what I said before? Some things are unnecessary."

Having said that, he, Xun'er, and Xiao Yi Xian took Han Yue and left.

After the four people left, only one person remained standing in the treetop in the clearing.

The setting sun cast a long, solitary shadow of hers.

A gentle breeze swept by, carrying a hint of coolness.

The alluring smile on Hun Li Li's face slowly faded, replaced by an unprecedented complexity and composure.

"Isn't it necessary? But I... I'm really afraid of being killed by my own father one day..."

The girl's soft voice drifted on the evening breeze, but no one could hear it.
