Wang Mei thought of herself as a child. Back then, she had been a talented beauty chosen by the emperor.

She had only been in her teens then, yet those damned women in the palace had pressed her into a vat of medicine.

Her beauty that could topple cities had been destroyed in a single day.

From then on, she hated every woman prettier than herself.

In order to regain her former youthful beauty, she had cast aside everything that could be cast aside.

Yet today, she had become like this again.

Tears as large as beans slid down that ugly face, one after another.

Helplessness and despair tore at her heart.

Just then, she was suddenly released.

Seeing the man before her, Wang Mei immediately panicked and hurriedly crawled into a corner.

She curled up and covered her face.

Xiao Yu slowly took out a dagger, walked up to Wang Mei, and spoke gently. "Senior Sister Wang... we never had any deep-seated grudge between us. I have a way to cure you in this state..."

Wang Mei stood there in a daze. He could cure her?

Xiao Yu chuckled softly. "Drinking my blood should cure your injuries. Or I can use the Joyful Union Art to help you!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Mei instinctively clenched her fists.

She had tried it long ago. How could it possibly work?

No, he meant using the Joyful Union Art while she had this face...

The moment Wang Mei realized that, she fled in panic, her face full of fear. "You... don't harm me again! We are fellow disciples; if you want to kill me, then kill me. Do you think I'm a three-year-old child...?"

"You would save me... wh-what kind of joke is that? How could someone like you possibly save me...?"

"You must be trying to mock me... You definitely have ulterior motives!"

Xiao Yu smiled softly as he walked, undoing his sleeves.

He also held a bottle of Youth-Preserving Pills in his hand.

Wang Mei instinctively panicked.

As she watched Xiao Yu walk toward her step by step, she suddenly found it absurd.

What kind of joke was this!

She was so ugly now...

What exactly did he want to do...

He couldn't really...

Not long after.

Wang Mei had actually changed back.

Looking at the cold and handsome Xiao Yu before her, Wang Mei instinctively clutched her collar.

She hurriedly turned her head aside and reached up to touch her face.

She had really changed back...

She actually...

Not only that, even her injuries had healed!

She had completely recovered...

Thinking of what she had just drunk, Wang Mei blushed and covered her cheeks.

No, she had been so hideous just now.

Yet he had actually... not cared at all...

At that moment, Wang Mei's heart instantly melted.

A glimmer of light flashed through her lowered eyes, like faint ripples stirring across a pool of autumn water.

Her cheeks seemed dyed crimson by the evening glow, like the lingering rays of a sunset over distant mountains.

The corners of her lips lifted slightly, her smile like spring flowers just beginning to bloom—shy and restrained. "You... you..."

She gently turned her head aside, her delicate brows lifting slightly, as though she were listening, yet also as though she were concealing the joy in her heart.

Her lightly trembling eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, stirring ripples in her heart.

Xiao Yu also saw her expression, and the corner of his mouth rose slightly. "These are Youth-Preserving Pills. They can let you preserve your current beauty forever! Senior Sister Wang, you truly are breathtakingly beautiful... This junior brother fell in love with you at first sight when I first saw you..."

"The reason I got angry last time was because I felt Zhao Gang was not worthy of Senior Sister Wang. That was why I said so many angry words before Master. Senior Sister Wang, please don't take them to heart..."

As Xiao Yu spoke, he directly reached out and took Wang Mei's hand.

At that moment, it was as if a jade flute had begun to play softly within Wang Mei's heart.

Its melody was like clear springs flowing over stones, winding and melodious.

A faint blush appeared on her face again, while within her heart, it seemed a little deer was crashing wildly about.

Looking at the man before her, completely indifferent to her former hideous appearance, she could no longer look away.

She had found so many cultivation partners in her life. To obtain cultivation resources, she had done so many things that had lost all conscience and gone against her original heart.

Everyone had approached her because of her skin-deep beauty.

Never had any man been willing to look her in the eye when she was disfigured.

And he had even cured her. Just now, she had thought she would be refined into a pill.

Xiao Yu was still thinking. No matter what, Wang Mei was an evil woman.

Even if she liked him now, she would probably still harm him later.

He needed to find an opportunity to make her reveal her true colors!

After all, her information panel had the words "profit-driven" written on it.

He had to be on guard!

"Senior Sister Wang... the ground is cold. Get up!"

At his words, Wang Mei glanced sideways, lowered her head, and slowly rose.

A charming allure seemed to flow between her brows and eyes.

Like peach blossoms first blooming in spring.

When she looked at Xiao Yu again, she directly wrapped her arms around his left arm. "Junior Brother... you are so loyal and righteous. From now on, Senior Sister will definitely protect you completely! In this life and the next... I will never betray you!"

Xiao Yu parted his lips slightly and looked at her with an ambiguous smile.

He might as well play along with her act.

Wang Mei's eyes shimmered like autumn waters beneath an endless sky, brimming with affection.

When she looked at Xiao Yu again, an indescribable seductiveness appeared on her cheeks.

Even she could not believe it. She was already thirty-seven years old.

She had stepped onto the immortal path twenty years ago and had thought she had long cast aside the wind and snow of the mortal world.

Why had she fallen in love today?

She truly had fallen in love. She had really fallen for Xiao Yu...

She had seen so many men. She was no ignorant young girl.

She knew that she had truly fallen in love with him.

Just then, Hua Lian walked over holding a bottle of Qi-Concealing Pills, her face full of delight. "Master! Master! Lian'er succeeded! These ten Qi-Concealing Pills will be enough for Master to use for quite some time!"

Upon hearing that, Wang Mei lowered her gaze and instinctively clenched the corner of her skirt.

Looking at Hua Lian, who was even more beautiful than herself, Wang Mei's eyes brimmed with malice.

Hua Lian wore flowing white robes, ethereal as an immortal. Her slender jade-like feet were wrapped in white stockings, adding several degrees of bewitching charm.

The fitted qipao outlined her graceful figure, like a white lotus just beginning to bloom.

Xiao Yu chuckled softly. "Mm, Lian'er, you've worked hard~ Go back to your work!"

Hua Lian nodded repeatedly, then looked at Wang Mei in Xiao Yu's arms.

As a woman herself, when Hua Lian saw the provocative look in Wang Mei's eyes, she sneered coldly in her heart.

This woman still dared to look at her like that here?

Did she not know that Hua Lian was now Master's most favored maidservant?

This woman was courting death...

After Hua Lian left, Wang Mei turned around and asked Xiao Yu with a trace of jealousy, "Xiao... Junior Brother Xiao, that younger sister just now was... Why does she look somewhat familiar to me?"

"Dressed in white robes, could she be from the Jade Maiden Sect?"

Xiao Yu held Wang Mei with one arm, the corners of his lips rising. "Mm, could it be that Senior Sister..."

Wang Mei's expression darkened, and her right fist clenched tightly.

But just then, an idea suddenly flashed through Xiao Yu's mind!

Why make things so troublesome...

Why bother with all those damned side quests? Wang Mei was not some boss like Bai Yue who had lived for centuries.

She was only in her thirties. How steadfast could her temperament possibly be?

Hua Lian's temperament was surely stronger than Wang Mei's, yet she had repented on her own within days.

Besides, Wang Mei had fallen in love with him now and was even jealous.

Xiao Yu directly carried her into the alchemy room.

Wang Mei immediately panicked, her face flushing red. "Junior Brother... Junior Brother, put me down quickly..."

Xiao Yu looked at her face with warmth in his eyes. "The reason I wanted to take Master as my master was because I liked Senior Sister! The reason I did not salute Senior Sister that day was because I was jealous of Zhao Gang!"

"From the very first moment I saw Senior Sister, I, Xiao Yu, had already fallen deeply in love with you!!!"

"For Senior Sister, I would even be willing to die..."

"Today, Master at least agreed to hand you over to me. If not, then even if I had to die, I would still have taken Senior Sister away...!"

Behind them, Hua Lian in the alchemy room pouted with jealousy.

She knew Xiao Yu was lying, but even if they were lies, she wanted to hear them!

What woman in this world did not like hearing lies?

Damn it...

[Detected that evil woman Wang Mei has completely fallen in love with the host!] [Detected that evil woman Wang Mei has recognized her mistakes under the host's persuasion. Judgment Mode activated!] [The host may choose manual judgment or automatic judgment! Please take her in!]

Xiao Yu grinned with amusement.

Looking at Wang Mei in his arms, his smile stretched all the way to his ears.

It had actually worked!

That meant many women who had lived for twenty or thirty years had almost no firm willpower.

He could completely take them in without using the same method he had used on Bai Yue!

The moment he raised his hand and placed Wang Mei into the Judgment Room, Wang Mei sat on the Judgment Chair with a seductive expression.

Xiao Yu instinctively swallowed.

"Um... Senior Sister Wang, do you know your crimes? You harmed so many children. This junior brother, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Mei directly reclined.

Turning onto her side, she lifted the hem of her skirt.

"Mei'er knows she was wrong... Every wrong was Mei'er's fault..."

"Husband, come quickly~"

A while later.

Xiao Yu ran out somewhat dazed.

[Detected that judgment of evil woman Wang Mei has begun. Judgment reward issued: Thunderwalking Art. The fourth Judgment Room has been issued!] [Judgment Room modification function unlocked. The host may freely modify the Judgment Room's structure!] [Detected that evil woman Wang Mei's Judgment Score is full. She may be sent to the Maidservant Pavilion!]

Three notifications also appeared in his mind.

Would you believe it...

She had completely submitted just like that?

The moment Wang Mei opened her eyes in the Maidservant Pavilion, she began calling out, "Husband~~~! Husband, where did you go? Husband, come quickly~" (in a coquettish voice)
