Only You May Cuckold Me, but I May Not Cuckold You?

"Liu Yan'er, you truly are no longer a virgin..."

The Blissful Sect Master's gaze was like blazing torches; at a single glance, she saw that Liu Yan'er was no longer a virgin.

"Greetings, Sect Master..."

Liu Yan'er was terrified and immediately knelt before the Blissful Sect Master.

"Sect Master, please uphold justice for your disciple!"

At the side, Blissful Sect Holy Son Zhou Tianqi spoke with a face full of grief and indignation.

"Liu Yan'er, do you know that you have violated the sect rules..."

The Blissful Sect Master's voice was incomparably cold.

"Sect Master, this subordinate does not know which sect rule I have broken. I ask the Sect Master to make it clear!"

Liu Yan'er shot Zhou Tianqi a cold glance.

"You secretly gave yourself to some wild man... and lost your virginity, yet you still say you did not violate the sect rules?"

Zhou Tianqi raged.

"In our Blissful Sect, the Holy Son and Holy Maiden must become husband and wife before they can cultivate our sect's supreme technique. How could you have an illicit relationship with another?"

The Blissful Sect Master looked at Liu Yan'er, her gaze incomparably icy.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, did this subordinate ever say that I would not marry the Holy Son?"

Liu Yan'er said sternly.

"What... You put a green hat on me, and you still expect me to marry you?"

Zhou Tianqi stared at Liu Yan'er in disbelief.

"Zhou Tianqi, how many green hats have you put on me? Tell me yourself. You're allowed to put green hats on me, but I'm not allowed to put one on you? What kind of reasoning is that?"

Liu Yan'er furiously shot back at Zhou Tianqi.

"What... How can those be the same?"

Zhou Tianqi nearly exploded with rage.

Even the Blissful Sect Master was stunned by Liu Yan'er's words.

"What's different about them?"

Liu Yan'er said dismissively.

"You're just making a scene out of nonsense..."

Zhou Tianqi was utterly depressed.

"Zhou Tianqi, Zhou Tianqi, I do not even despise you, yet you have the nerve to despise me."

Liu Yan'er gave a light laugh, her tone full of contempt.

"Sect Master, you have seen it as well. It is not that I do not wish to marry the Holy Son; it is that the Holy Son does not wish to marry me. I have not violated any sect rules."

Liu Yan'er carefully said to the Blissful Sect Master.

"..."

For a moment, the Blissful Sect Master did not know what to say. She felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Liu Yan'er's words, yet she could not figure out what exactly was wrong.

What Liu Yan'er said did seem to make some sense.

"Moreover, the person who dual cultivated with me was a Pill King!"

Liu Yan'er cast Zhou Tianqi a disdainful glance.

"What?"

The Blissful Sect Master was startled upon hearing this.

"Haha, Liu Yan'er, you are telling barefaced lies. What Pill King? You might as well say egg yolk!"

Zhou Tianqi laughed disdainfully.

"Zhou Tianqi, are you deaf or blind? News that a mysterious alchemy expert appeared in Hehuan Town and customized pills for others has long spread everywhere. And according to what I know, Yun Feiyan, the senior sister of the Joyful Union Sect, commissioned a Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pill from that mysterious alchemy expert. At this moment, Yun Feiyan should be attempting to break through to the Golden Core Realm."

Liu Yan'er said with a light laugh.

"Such a thing actually happened?"

The Blissful Sect Master was shocked once more.

One had to know that the Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pill was not so easily refined successfully.

Even for an Alchemical Master, the failure rate for refining a Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pill was extremely high.

Even if an Alchemical Grandmaster acted personally, the success rate was only around thirty percent.

"Sect Master, this disciple has already prepared one set of spirit herbs for refining the Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pill. Once that mysterious Pill King emerges from seclusion, this disciple will ask him to refine a batch of Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pills for me!"

Liu Yan'er looked smugly at Zhou Tianqi.

She did not dare reveal that she had been controlled by that mysterious Pill King.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tianqi clenched his fists.

He finally understood why Liu Yan'er had given herself to that so-called Pill King.

Asking that fellow to refine Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pills for her was this wretched maid Liu Yan'er's true purpose.

With the Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pill, this wretched maid Liu Yan'er could attempt to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

If she successfully broke through to the Golden Core Realm, would there still be a place for him in the Blissful Sect?

However, this was also his opportunity.

Once Liu Yan'er obtained the Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pill from that so-called Pill King, he would snatch it away. Then he would swallow the Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pill, successfully break through to the Golden Core Realm, and kick Liu Yan'er, that wretched maid, aside.

Mm, that was what he would do.

At this thought, Zhou Tianqi's lips curled upward in a cold sneer.

"Yan'er, you have done very well in this matter."

All the anger on the Blissful Sect Master's face vanished.

She knew full well how important a Pill King was.

One had to know that not even the Joyful Union Sect had a Pill King.

If their Blissful Sect could cling to a Pill King's thigh and gain the Pill King's support, the Blissful Sect's strength would surely multiply.

As for Liu Yan'er losing her virginity to the Pill King, to the Blissful Sect Master, it was nothing more than a trivial matter.

How could she lose the greater for the lesser?

"Yan'er, when will that Pill King emerge from seclusion? You must introduce this Pill King to your master!"

The Blissful Sect Master looked at Liu Yan'er, and even the tone of her speech had changed.

The cultivation world was simply this realistic.

Zhou Tianqi was also making his own little calculations.

Everything was driven by profit.

"Master, this disciple does not know when that senior will emerge from seclusion either!"

Liu Yan'er answered carefully.

The Blissful Sect Master was in fact the master of both her and Blissful Sect Holy Son Zhou Tianqi.

However, the Blissful Sect Master had an eccentric temperament. When she was happy, she treated her disciples extremely well, but if she was in a bad mood, Liu Yan'er and Zhou Tianqi would suffer terribly.

Liu Yan'er never dared let down her guard before the Blissful Sect Master.

Moreover, the Blissful Sect Master always wore a ghost-faced mask and never showed her true appearance.

Although Liu Yan'er was the Blissful Sect Master's disciple, she did not even know whether the Blissful Sect Master was male or female.

"Forget it. Let us set this matter aside for now. The matter of the Black Tortoise Sect is the most urgent matter at hand."

The Blissful Sect Master said coldly.

"Master is right!"

Liu Yan'er secretly wiped away a cold sweat.

She hurriedly invited her master into the room.

At the Joyful Union Sect, winds and clouds gathered.

The Black Tortoise Sect's great net had already been spread.

Yet Lu Chen was currently in secluded cultivation within the Waste Pill Repository.

He was merely waiting for the Joyful Union Sect's Sect Grand Tournament to end before making his move.

More than half of the sixty High-Grade Body-Tempering Pills in the jade box before him had already been swallowed.

"Only sixteen remain..."

Lu Chen had never expected that after swallowing so many High-Grade Body-Tempering Pills, he still could not break through to the Peak Copper Skin Realm.

Origin energy surged mightily throughout his body as he continuously refined the medicinal power of the Body-Tempering Pills within him.

His flesh, blood, tendons, and bones were constantly tempered by the medicinal power. Every meridian and every piece of sinew and bone had been tempered dozens of times.

His entire body seemed to have become a bronze-colored copper man.

His skin and flesh were hard as iron, while his tendons and bones were even more incomparably tough.

The medicinal power penetrated deep into his marrow; even a faint metallic sheen had appeared over his bones.

Yet he still could not take that final step.

Breaking through to the Peak Copper Skin Realm was far too difficult.

"Continue..."

Lu Chen went all out.

He directly grabbed a handful of Body-Tempering Pills and tossed them into his mouth, swallowing them in one gulp.

There were at least seven or eight Body-Tempering Pills in that handful.

Boom!

Powerful medicinal energy erupted from within his body.

He hurriedly circulated the Five-Element Body-Refining Art.

The medicinal power of the Body-Tempering Pills scraped through his tendons, bones, skin, and flesh like countless sharp blades.

The pain of being sliced alive made Lu Chen grind his teeth to pieces.

"Just a little more..."

Lu Chen desperately circulated the Five-Element Body-Refining Art to refine the medicinal power.

Strands of metallic radiance began moving across his skin.

More than an hour later, the medicinal power began to weaken.

"Damn it, success or failure rests on this one stroke!"

Lu Chen directly swallowed every remaining Body-Tempering Pill.

Boom!

Metallic radiance burst through his body, and his entire person seemed to be on fire.

"Use qi as fire, temper my body..."

Lu Chen roared as the violent medicinal power directly smashed through the mysterious barrier.

Buzz!

The void trembled.

His entire body was like it was being tempered by true fire.

His body-refining cultivation finally broke through to the Peak Copper Skin Realm.

Lu Chen only felt explosive power filling his entire body. With a single punch, even the void twisted and deformed beneath his fist.

Bang!

With one stomp, he left a deep footprint in the hard Vajra Jade floor.

This was a Vajra Jade floor. Even blades and spears could not leave the slightest mark on it.

"A humanoid Spirit Artifact... strength enough to uproot mountains—what a rush!"

Lu Chen was both shocked and delighted. The bronze color on his body rapidly faded, finally returning to the color of normal skin.

At the Peak Copper Skin Realm, one returned to simplicity.

From this day onward, even when he activated his cultivation, his skin would no longer change color.

He swallowed several Foundation-Nourishing Pills.

Several more hours passed before he rose, opened the doors of the Waste Pill Repository, and walked outside.

The first light of dawn appeared outside, with mist curling through the air.

Dong!

Just then, the sound of a bell pierced through the morning light from the peak of Joyful Union Mountain.

"The Sect Grand Tournament has begun..."

Lu Chen raised his head and looked toward the summit of Joyful Union Mountain.
