Chapter 57

Rather than waiting to be killed, it's better to strike first.

However, when he saw Ye Qingyao again after several years, now 19 years old and even more graceful and beautiful, he couldn't take his eyes off her. He stared at Ye Qingyao intently, making her feel uneasy and lower her head even further.

Shen Xingyan had recently read those Netherworld Storybook, such as "[Forbidden Love: The Overbearing Yama Imprisons Me After His Unrequited Love]", and was so aroused by the vivid words and images that he felt extremely hot inside and out. Even though Luo Bingyao was there to help him cool down, he still felt unsatisfied.

Some men find the more unattainable a woman is sexually attractive.

But things that are readily available, easily attainable, and close at hand lose their mystery and challenge. It's not that they become addictive, but rather that they lose their appeal.

The phrase "human nature is inherently base" couldn't be more fitting for Shen Xingyan.

At this moment, looking at Ye Qingyao, who was still as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water after several years, and even more graceful and charming than before, he couldn't help but feel a stronger desire to conquer her than he had a few years ago. He especially wanted to take things to the next level, particularly in terms of physical intimacy.

"What? Is there a fly on my senior sister's face? Why are you looking at her like that?" Ye Qingchuan couldn't stand his gaze and couldn't help but mock him.

Previously, Shen Xingyan was more than a head taller than Ye Qingchuan, but now the two are almost the same height. Standing in front of the 20-something Shen Xingyan, the 14-year-old Ye Qingchuan is in no way inferior in terms of presence.

"Young brother, you've misunderstood." Shen Xingyan quickly put away his romantic thoughts and said seriously, "Fellow immortals, the Demon Clan has been making more and more Devil Race lately, harming countless people in our Cultivation World and stealing countless treasures. Even the Sky-Gate Zither, one of the Five Divine Artifacts Cultivation World, has fallen into their hands. Why don't you all come with me to our Kongtong School as guests and discuss strategies for dealing with the Devil Race with the Immortal Venerable?" Shen Xingyan cupped his hands in invitation to the crowd.

He didn't want to meet Ye Qingyao briefly and then part ways again. This time, he planned to show Ye Qingyao the formidable strength and wealth of their Kongtong School, and see if she would be tempted.

"I don't think that's necessary," Ye Qingchuan coldly refused him immediately.

"Uncle, I'll go with you! I want to go to the Kongtong School and broaden my horizons!" Ye Zhenzhen blinked her big, bright eyes and jumped up excitedly.

As the saying goes, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained," she knew there must be demons in the Kongtong School, and that the women who had disappeared before were all imprisoned there.

"Okay, Little Bean." Shen Xingyan bent down and patted the little tuft of hair on her head. "What uncle? Call me senior brother. I'm about the same age as your senior sisters and brothers."

"But you look like..." The Little Bean bit his finger, looking hesitant, and lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

"What does it look like?" Shen Xingyan couldn't help but ask.

"Looks a bit old."

The Little Bean's Shen Xingyan vomit blood.

Happy Year of the Dragon

Starting today, I will strive to resume daily updates until the story is completed.

Come on!

Chapter 57

================

"Not only is he old, but he's also balding."

Ye Zhenzhen continued to stab Shen Xingyan in the heart with her childish voice.

Previously, Shen Xingyan was always proud of his long, handsome hair. However, ever since he and his father, Immortal Venerable Shen, secretly cultivated with the Primordial Chaos Pearl, one of the Five Divine Artifacts, although his cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds, it also brought about a significant side effect—hair loss. His hairline kept receding, his forehead hair thinned, and he gradually developed a tendency to become bald.

Men who experience hair loss tend to appear older.

Hearing Ye Zhenzhen's words, everyone's attention turned to Shen Xingyan. Shen Xingyan awkwardly covered a bald patch on his forehead with his hand, forcing a smile to smooth things over, saying, "Little Bean, although children may speak without thinking, some things shouldn't be said carelessly. Uncle, oh no, senior brother, I just have a little less hair, I'm actually not that old. Didn't you want to visit our Kongtong School? Senior brother will take you there right away."

As he spoke, he squatted down, intending to reach out and hug Ye Zhenzhen. The Little Bean was terrified and quickly dodged his large hand, but Ye Qingchuan lifted her up like a chick and then held her tightly in his arms with one hand.

"I'm not going." Ye Qingchuan said decisively.

This?

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at the two men's tense faces and felt as if she had just escaped one wolf's den only to fall into another. She conveyed her thoughts in her mind:

[Third Senior Brother, let's go with Shen Xingyan to the Kongtong School. I suspect those missing women are related to him and his father, and they're probably being held Kongtong School there.]

Since he's invited us, we absolutely mustn't miss this great opportunity!

That sounded reasonable, but Ye Qingchuan still wore a sour face and said, "I'm not going."

"Come on~~" the Little Bean sprouted in a soft, coquettish voice.

"I'm not going. I said I'm not going, and that means I'm not going." Ye Qingchuan still refused coldly. He had disliked Shen Xingyan had only grown stronger as they grew up.

"Since Junior Brother isn't going, let's go to the Kongtong School," Ye Qingyao suggested from the side. She agreed with her Junior Sister's idea, believing it was a good opportunity to find the missing woman and save those poor female cultivators.

Upon hearing Ye Qingyao agree to go to the Kongtong School, Shen Xingyan immediately smiled smugly, glanced provocatively at Ye Qingchuan, and then took out his newly acquired Dragonfish Flying Boat, leading everyone onto the Flying Boat.

"Then... I'll go too." Ye Qingchuan shamelessly followed.

The Kongtong School is located in the Magpie Mountain range, while Shen Xingyan and his Personal Disciples, occupy the highest point of Magpie Mountain — Mount Zhaoyao, which is rich in metal ores and Spirit Stone.

Mount Zhaoyao is indeed a Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, with an overwhelming Spiritual Qi emanating from it.

Rumor has it that the entrance to the Kongtong School features two Stone Lions carved from Superior Spirit Stone. However, upon arriving at the entrance, the group discovered that there were not just two, but dozens of such Stone Lions. Dozens of gleaming Stone Lions were arranged in a staggered pattern at the entrance, creating an exceptionally imposing sight.
