An Immortal Maiden Falls into Mortal Dust

The woman in red stood at the edge of the grave mound, utterly silent, radiating a tremendous sense of dread.

Duan Yun had thought this place looked like the set of a horror film, but he had not prepared himself to encounter a ghost in the dead of night.

And a vicious ghost in red, no less.

Duan Yun did not know exactly what kind of world this was.

He had been transported here for less than a month. All he knew was that in the relatively secluded Waterside City, the Black Bear Gang could train their hands until they were as large and thick as bear paws, while the Ironblood Sect's elites bled green blood. This clearly did not look like any proper martial arts world.

For all he knew, a place like this really might have ghosts.

Was his first night camping in the wilderness really going to be this thrilling?

Duan Yun pretended not to be awake and did not move, but what gave him a headache was that the female ghost moved!

The female ghost floated over. Her translucent red dress was like smoke and mist beneath the night sky, and Duan Yun could even clearly make out the graceful curves within.

"Young master, stop pretending. You saw me."

The woman's feet landed on a tree branch without a sound as she spoke languidly.

Her voice was so alluring that it made one's bones go soft.

Had Duan Yun not sensed no living aura from her, and had he not strongly suspected that she had just crawled out of that grave mound, he might have thought she was a peerless beauty.

Indeed, her features were refined and beautiful, her figure exquisitely curved. Whether before or after his transmigration, she would have counted as a first-rate beauty. Even laid in a coffin, she would have been a ravishing corpse.

Unfortunately, Duan Yun did not have that sort of peculiar taste. Nervously, he said, "I had nowhere to stay late at night and disturbed you, miss. Please forgive me. In the future, I will surely burn more gold and silver ingots for you to make amends."

Upon hearing this, the woman could not help but giggle. "You don't think I'm a female ghost, do you?"

When she smiled, she suddenly regained the aura of a living person, and her whole presence became vividly enchanting.

Duan Yun said, "Then, miss, you are..."

"I'm an immortal maiden from the heavens. In the middle of the night, I happened to see a fire here, so I came out of kindness to ease your loneliness." The woman in red wore her clothes half undone, exposing skin as smooth and white as snow.

Looking at her like this, Duan Yun hesitated. "But immortal maidens aren't..."

"I know what you're thinking. Immortal maidens should be pure as ice and jade, lofty and beyond reach. But what if an immortal maiden falls into mortal dust? When an immortal maiden falls into mortal dust, there will always be a few changes." The woman in red swung her long legs and smiled seductively.

For a moment, Duan Yun actually found her argument quite reasonable and hard to refute.

"The night is long. Then this humble woman shall embrace you, young master, and relieve your loneliness."

As she spoke, the woman floated down from the tree.

She looked at Duan Yun as though she wanted to devour him whole.

At the same time, her red dress slipped to the ground, carrying a mysterious, bewitching allure.

"Wait."

But at that moment, Duan Yun spoke up to stop her.

The woman in red teased, "What is young master waiting for? Are you waiting for this servant to help you? You're so lazy."

"I don't want to."

"Why?" A trace of confusion appeared in the woman in red's eyes.

"You have a cold womb," Duan Yun answered.

"What?"

"Miss, your tongue coating is pale, your navel slightly bluish, and your hands and feet are bruised and cold. Those are precisely the symptoms of a cold womb." Duan Yun spoke with complete seriousness.

The woman in red's delicate brows furrowed slightly. Her gaze turned chilling as she said, "I look like this, dressed like this in the dead of night, coming to ease your loneliness, and you tell me I have a cold womb?"

As she spoke, the aura of a living person vanished from her again, and she became like a cold female corpse.

"It really is a cold womb. I'm a gynecologist. Miss, your condition has worsened," Duan Yun explained.

The woman in red said nothing more, merely approaching with a dark expression.

The whites of her eyes disappeared, turning them pitch-black. The dying embers of the fire reflected off her body, yet she cast almost no shadow, making her terrifying beyond measure.

A chill ran through Duan Yun's heart. "Don't come any closer. If you come any closer, I'll stab you."

With a grim expression on her paper-white face, the woman in red said coldly, "Come on, then. I want you to stab me!"

Seeing her advance several steps with a dark face, Duan Yun was horrified. He extended his Sword Finger and jabbed forward!

"Mm~"

White Sword Qi shot through the woman's abdomen with a swish. She let out a muffled groan and drifted backward.

Duan Yun thrust out another finger, but her body floated sideways like smoke, dodging the attack.

When Duan Yun formed his Sword Finger again, the woman had already darted up into the tree like a phantom.

She stared at Duan Yun with those pitch-black eyes devoid of whites, bared her ghostly white teeth, and said coldly, "Gynecologist, I'll remember you." Then her body merged with that red dress, drifting with the wind toward the depths of darkness until she vanished.

Duan Yun held his Sword Finger and panted heavily.

That woman had looked human one moment and like a corpse the next. She was even more sinister than a ghost.

After that, Duan Yun could no longer sleep at all.

He could not help feeding the fire, hoping to use it to drive away the sinister things lurking in the darkness.

If he had not mastered swordsmanship, tonight might truly have ended badly.

Duan Yun picked up his water gourd and drank some water to calm his nerves.

But just as he had taken half a drink, another figure appeared.

He quickly raised his fingers, thinking that the female ghost had returned, only to find that it was a figure dressed in white.

She was a tall young woman with a high ponytail. She wore a black-and-white robe embroidered with auspicious clouds, somewhat resembling a Flying Fish Uniform, making her look valiant and heroic.

And her breasts were huge.

Yes, this woman's breasts had been huge to begin with, and in that neat, crisp "Flying Fish Uniform," they looked even bigger.

Upon seeing Duan Yun, the young woman lightly inhaled and asked, "Did a woman pass by here just now?"

Duan Yun nodded. "Yes."

The woman hurried over to the fire. Standing there, she took a deep breath toward the forest below, then deftly planted two small purple flags in the ground. "A few people in purple will come later. Please let them know, little brother."

As she spoke, the woman looked at Duan Yun again. "That woman didn't do anything to you, did she?"

Duan Yun said, "She didn't succeed."

The woman nodded and said thoughtfully, "Be careful."

With that, she quickened her pace and disappeared into the darkness, heading in exactly the same direction the woman in red had gone.

He had just driven off a female ghost in red, then run into a busty woman, and now both had vanished. Duan Yun only felt that this wilderness was rather lively tonight.

He had not expected the excitement was only beginning.

Before the time it took for an incense stick to burn, four people dressed in purple robes appeared.

Duan Yun recognized the style of those purple robes. They resembled constables' uniforms, though he had never seen purple ones before.

Upon seeing him, the four purple-robed constables found that Duan Yun had already spoken first. "A woman just planted two little flags over there."

After seeing the flags, the leader cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, little brother!" Then they hurried off in pursuit.

Watching the four figures leave, Duan Yun muttered, "Is this a marketplace?"

There had not been a single figure in sight during the first half of the night, but in the latter half came a female ghost, a busty woman, and purple-robed constables. It was simply far too lively.

After those people left, the desolate forest returned to silence.

Duan Yun sat down and thought, There should be no one else now, right?

But at that moment, a patter of light footsteps sounded.

Looking at the busty woman in the "Flying Fish Uniform" and high ponytail, Duan Yun asked in confusion, "Why did you come back? They went after you."

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction where the purple-robed constables had disappeared.

The busty woman sat down directly before the fire and said, "The one you saw just now wasn't me."

Duan Yun: "???"

He realized that his brain was not quite keeping up tonight.
