The True Holy Maiden

The corners of Angewomon's lips curled slightly as she teased, "Why don't you try again?"

Dongfang Yu nodded, then promptly spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Pfft!"

A minute later, he failed again.

Dongfang Yu opened his eyes, disbelief written all over his face.

That made no sense. If Angewomon didn't work, that would be understandable. But he had been thinking about Bibi Dong—why hadn't it worked either?

It had been five years. Even before meeting Bibi Dong, he had constantly thought about her, imagining whether he might one day get to see her.

After meeting her, although she had treated him terribly, thinking of everything she had gone through, he had never given up on her. She had always been his first choice for a wife in his heart.

Fine, he couldn't deny that his behavior had been rather simping, and that he had some masochistic tendencies, but he truly did like her.

But now... why?

Angewomon seemed to see through his thoughts. "Can't figure it out?"

Dongfang Yu looked at her in confusion, hoping she could give him an answer.

"You think what she feels for Yu Xiaogang isn't real love. But what you feel for her—do you really like her?"

"What do you mean?" Dongfang Yu was a little lost. If he didn't truly like her, he wouldn't have gone all out to help her.

"You'll understand someday. I'll wait for the day the flowers bloom." Angewomon smiled softly.

"I'll erase some of Yue Guan's memories. You have nothing to worry about on this trip."

Dongfang Yu stared at her in astonishment. "Just how powerful are you? And who could possibly have forced you?"

Angewomon snapped her fingers lightly. "Anyway, I can keep you alive. As for who that person is..."

Dongfang Yu waited eagerly for her to continue.

"I'm not telling you."

Dongfang Yu: "..."

"Come with me," Angewomon said, then started walking toward a certain place.

Dongfang Yu followed her in a daze. He had to admit, following a big shot really made him feel like he was walking on air!

Angewomon was undoubtedly someone he could cling to! And she was a gorgeous leg to cling to at that!

The more Dongfang Yu thought about it, the more he laughed out loud. Angewomon could kill Yue Guan in an instant—she was far stronger than Tang Hao.

Now that he had her, who cared about Tang San? Who cared about some future god?

That was nothing more than a self-important young man's pipe dream.

Life was life. Taking a shortcut now and then was no big deal.

See? As a transmigrator, how could I not get a cheat? And now... my cheat has arrived.

"Hehehe..."

Angewomon, who was walking ahead of him, paused slightly before continuing onward as though nothing had happened.

What Dongfang Yu did not see was the faint curl of her lips.

A short while later, the two arrived at a small cliff.

"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is below. Jump down," Angewomon said as she looked at him.

Dongfang Yu stepped forward to inspect it. Good grief, that was pretty high!

If he jumped down, wouldn't he end up bruised all over?

"Can't you fly down?" Angewomon asked speechlessly when she saw him hesitate.

Dongfang Yu's mouth twitched. "I can't..."

Although Angewomon had quite a few wings, he had tried many times and simply could not fly. He had no idea what had gone wrong.

"You can now."

"Really?" As soon as he said that, golden wings suddenly spread from Dongfang Yu's back, and he gently flapped them.

"Haha!"

Seeing Dongfang Yu fly down, Angewomon shook her head slightly, then spread her wings and flew down as well.

The moment he landed, Dongfang Yu burst into laughter. Now this was a real Angewomon!

No, a heavenly maiden! A true Holy Maiden!

"Have you laughed enough?" Angewomon suddenly asked.

Dongfang Yu immediately stopped laughing, though the corners of his mouth were still nearly stretched to his ears.

Angewomon did not dwell on it. Pointing toward the area where ice and fire met ahead, she said, "Go. Absorb those two Immortal Herbs."

Dongfang Yu nodded. With Angewomon here, he was brimming with confidence!

In the original story, Tang San absorbed those two ultimate ice-and-fire Immortal Herbs and gained immunity to water and fire. He figured he should be fine too.

"Splash!"

Dongfang Yu jumped straight in. Anyone who did not know better would have thought he was trying to kill himself.

"Damn! So cold!" The moment Dongfang Yu entered the water, he nearly froze into an ice sculpture!

At that moment, a warm aura spread throughout his body, accompanied by Angewomon's voice:

"Stop dawdling!"

Dongfang Yu nodded vigorously, then swam deeper.

On the shore, Angewomon looked toward a certain place beneath the water and gave a cold smile.

After more than ten minutes, Dongfang Yu finally obtained the two Immortal Herbs: Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and Inferno Apricot Delicate.

The center of the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass glittered with stamen-like specks like ice crystals. It was a rare immortal treasure of frigid poison, capable of chilling one's heart and freezing one's central nerves.

Inferno Apricot Delicate, on the other hand, was fiery red all over. The exact opposite of Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass, it was an immortal treasure containing supreme fire poison. It had even burned Tang San's Mysterious Jade Hands before.

Following Tang San's method, Dongfang Yu began absorbing the two Immortal Herbs underwater.

But just as he closed his eyes, two dragon roars suddenly rang out from the depths below!

"Woohoo!"

The two cries were incredibly penetrating!

They shook Dongfang Yu until his body swayed unsteadily.

Seeing Dongfang Yu nearly faint, Angewomon raised her hand and swept it toward the water, shouting coldly, "Get lost!"

"..."

The water instantly returned to calm, as though nothing had happened.

Once the sounds vanished, Dongfang Yu steadied himself and officially began absorbing the Immortal Herbs.

Half an hour later, Dongfang Yu's expression gradually changed, and he appeared to be in great pain.

Tang San had the Mysterious Heaven Skill protecting his body, but he did not. Still, he was not afraid.

Another surge of energy appeared inside his body, and his strained expression slowly returned to normal.

Angewomon withdrew her hand on the shore and quietly watched him for the rest of the time.

After a long while, Angewomon was sitting silently on a nearby rock, and she had removed her mask.

Unfortunately, Dongfang Yu had his eyes closed at the moment. Otherwise, he probably would have suffered a qi deviation.

Angewomon's appearance could only be described as devastatingly beautiful, with exquisite features sculpted as though from jade.

Beneath her slender willow-leaf brows were a pair of indifferent golden eyes, their depths holding a merciless chill. Her nose was straight, her crimson lips were delicate, and a blood-red manjushaka between her brows added a trace of bewitching charm to her icy temperament.

Although she was as cold and proud as Bibi Dong, giving people the feeling that she could only be admired from afar, there was still a hint of gentleness within her frosty aura.

It was a strange phenomenon. She was clearly an iceberg, so why did she carry such a warm presence within her?

Gradually, for some unknown reason, Angewomon kept staring at Dongfang Yu's face and fell into a daze. She did not even notice when he came ashore.

"Haha, I..."

As soon as Dongfang Yu reached the shore, he saw Angewomon sitting on the rock with her mask removed, and his voice abruptly stopped.
