Love at First Sight? Pfft, It Was Lust at First Sight!

"Nephew Fang, do you have any objections?"

After hearing Rainbow Robed Fairy's words, Li Huayuan's expression darkened slightly. It was not convenient for him to openly refute her, or he would offend the Moon-Covering Sect.

Rainbow Robed Fairy herself was not much of a concern, but it would be troublesome if she summoned Qiong Old Monster, who had just left.

Qiong Old Monster would neither give Yellow Maple Valley any face nor care about maintaining his image before Yellow Maple Valley's disciples and stewards. At best, he would toy with him a little; at worst, he would directly teach him a lesson.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators from the various sects found Qiong Old Monster troublesome, so Li Huayuan naturally could not be his match.

Thus, he tossed the problem back to Fang Yu, the "instigator" and "chief culprit."

After all, this matter had begun because of Fang Yu, and he believed Fang Yu would know what to do.

Yet Fang Yu's answer took everyone by surprise.

"Uncle Rainbow Robed, were your earlier words true?"

Fang Yu cupped his hands in salute and asked with a solemn expression.

The moment those words left his mouth, not only Li Huayuan but also Rainbow Robed Fairy, the Moon-Covering Sect's female disciples, and the disciples of Yellow Maple Valley and Clear Void Sect were stunned. Once they recovered, they could not help discussing and guessing whom Fang Yu would choose.

After all, waiting for the other sects was terribly boring. Now that there was finally something entertaining to watch, they naturally paid attention.

Nie Ying of Yellow Maple Valley's lovely face darkened slightly. She gave a soft snort, turned away to avoid looking at Fang Yu, yet could not stop herself from stealing glances at him, sorrow visible in her beautiful eyes.

Although she held no romantic feelings for Fang Yu, for some reason, hearing those words still made her feel upset and dissatisfied.

In contrast to Nie Ying, most of the Moon-Covering Sect's female disciples were delighted. They had naturally heard of Fang Yu's reputation. They all knew that he had once been Yellow Maple Valley's number one Qi Refinement cultivator, possessed a Thunder Attribute Heterogeneous Spiritual Root, was the disciple of a Core Formation cultivator, and was a talisman maker. Taken together, those identities made him an absolutely ideal choice for a Dao companion.

Thus, some female disciples of the Moon-Covering Sect could not resist throwing flirtatious looks at Fang Yu.

"Of course they were true!"

Rainbow Robed Fairy's beautiful face first froze in surprise, then delight surfaced in her lovely eyes.

If she could bring Yellow Maple Valley's current number one cultivation genius into the Moon-Covering Sect, then this trip would have been worthwhile even if they gained nothing else.

After all, with Fang Yu's Thunder Attribute Heterogeneous Spiritual Root and the Moon-Covering Sect's dual cultivation techniques, forming a Golden Core and becoming a Core Formation cultivator would not be difficult.

"I wonder which disciple Nephew Fang has taken a liking to? Speak freely. Uncle will personally make the decision for you."

Before the livid Li Huayuan could speak, Rainbow Robed Fairy beat him to it with a charming smile.

"This junior sister, perhaps?"

Before he had even finished speaking, Fang Yu, having already found his target, raised a hand and pointed at the only white-clad girl among the many Moon-Covering Sect disciples who did not have a companion.

The girl looked quite young, only fifteen or sixteen years old, but her features were pure and delicate, and her face was full of innocent sweetness.

When Fang Yu pointed at her, she too froze. Then, with a swish, her little face flushed crimson. Overwhelmed with shyness, she hid behind a tall, somewhat older female disciple and vanished from sight.

At the same time, upon seeing whom Fang Yu had chosen, Rainbow Robed Fairy's beautiful face stiffened. She hurriedly rejected and stopped him.

"Nephew Fang, this girl's status is rather special. She cannot casually become someone's Dao companion. Nephew should choose another. Besides, she is still quite young and truly unsuitable for you."

The expressions of the Moon-Covering Sect's other disciples also changed, though none reacted as quickly as Rainbow Robed Fairy.

Thus, Li Huayuan and Clear Void Sect's Core Formation cultivator Fuyunzi detected something amiss. The two exchanged a glance, and Li Huayuan's face sank as he pressed the matter.

"What? Is there some problem with this girl, or do you think that Nephew Fang, my Senior Brother Lei's disciple, is not worthy of her?"

His tone was openly aggressive.

At this moment, Fuyunzi also stepped forward to add his support.

"Indeed. This disciple of Fellow Daoist Lei possesses aptitude unlike anything this poor Daoist has seen in his life. He is not much inferior even to cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots. I have also heard that he is a beginner talisman maker. May I ask in what way he is unworthy of that disciple? Could she be the descendant or disciple of some fellow Daoist? You might as well say so. The two of us are willing to vouch for him."

The two had already been suspicious of why the Moon-Covering Sect had brought a group of young male and female disciples. Now that they had finally found an excuse, how could they let it pass?

"Please do not be offended, Senior Brothers. That disciple's identity truly is special, and it is inconvenient for her to become another's Dao companion."

Seeing this, Rainbow Robed Fairy was already considering whether she should send a voice transmission to Qiong Old Monster.

If Nangong Wan's identity were exposed, it would definitely be no good for the Moon-Covering Sect.

"Oh? What identity? Is she the descendant or disciple of some fellow Daoist?"

"This girl's constitution and cultivation technique are special. Before forming a Golden Core, she should not lose her virginity, so she is unsuitable for Nephew Fang."

Left with no choice, Rainbow Robed Fairy abruptly came up with an excuse.

Hearing this, Li Huayuan and Fuyunzi exchanged a glance. Earlier, they had indeed sensed that there was something unusual about the white-clad girl, which somewhat matched Rainbow Robed Fairy's explanation concerning her constitution.

Though they were unwilling to fully believe it, they did not continue pressing the matter.

However, Fang Yu saluted with complete sincerity and made a promise.

"This junior is willing to wait until this junior sister forms her Golden Core. This junior fell in love with her at first sight. I hope Uncle Rainbow Robed and the many seniors of the Moon-Covering Sect will grant this wish. This junior will surely treat her with sincerity."

Before his words had even faded, everyone present was shocked. Such a direct declaration of affection made quite a few female disciples feel envious and jealous.

Meanwhile, Nangong Wan, hiding behind the Moon-Covering Sect's female disciples, had a face covered in blush. She clenched her pearly teeth, shame and anger showing in her beautiful eyes.

She felt that her identity had been seen through, but how was that possible? Even Nascent Soul cultivators should not have been able to see through it.

After all, she truly was now a Qi Refinement cultivator, not a Core Formation cultivator. Even the Golden Core within her body was gone.

The only thing she could wield was the magic treasure within her body. Naturally, it could at most display one or two percent of its power, but that was enough to deal with most of the demonic beasts in the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land and gather sufficient spirit herbs.

One of the main reasons Qiong Old Monster had wagered with Li Huayuan and Fuyunzi was because of her presence.

At the same time, that was also one reason she had chosen to enter the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land. Of course, the most important reason was the golden box recorded in the Moon-Covering Sect's records concerning the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land.

The Moon-Covering Sect's predecessors had speculated that the golden box might be connected to the third level.

Unfortunately, because of the guardian demonic beasts, no Moon-Covering Sect disciple had ever managed to obtain it. Instead, of every ten who went, only one returned.

With her joining forces with the Moon-Covering Sect's many disciples, they had been fully capable of handling any trouble or demonic beast.

Everything had clearly been going smoothly, yet Fang Yu had unexpectedly appeared as a nuisance and even declared his feelings before everyone.

Love at first sight? It was obviously lust at first sight!

What a lecherous bastard, Nangong Wan cursed inwardly in shame and fury.

Naturally, Fang Yu could not know of Nangong Wan's inward curses. Nor was he worried about earning her resentment, since he could return to The Great Primordial World at any time.

Since he had come to join in the excitement, would it not be a wasted trip if he did not make at least a slight change? That would be far too boring.
