Ling Tian Dao Palace.
Outside Chu Kuangren's room, Xiao Bing held a set of women's clothes.
Her head was a muddled mess, utterly bewildered.
Why did the young master want women's clothes out of the blue?
And an entire set, at that. Could he have some peculiar fetish?
"Young master, I've brought your clothes."
Xiao Bing knocked on the door. It opened with a creak, but she noticed another woman inside Chu Kuangren's room.
She was a very beautiful woman.
Her beauty carried a sense of sacred inviolability. Even Xiao Bing could not help feeling ashamed of her own appearance upon seeing her.
Wait.
Why did this beauty seem to have a pair of wings?
"Sorry for the trouble." Chu Kuangren took the clothes, then turned and handed them to Lan Yu behind him. "Wear these for now."
Lan Yu accepted the clothes. "Yes."
White light flashed.
The armor on Lan Yu's body instantly vanished.
A dazzlingly fair, exquisitely beautiful naked body appeared before Chu Kuangren in an instant. Her snowy skin practically dazzled his eyes.
Chu Kuangren felt as though blood was about to gush from his nose.
Beside him, Xiao Bing's jaw dropped.
H-holy crap!
Was this woman really so uninhibited?!
But Lan Yu saw nothing wrong with it. She began changing unhurriedly in front of them, her expression calm and unconcerned.
As far as she knew, Chu Kuangren was her creator. Everything she had belonged to him, including, of course, this body.
"Um, go ahead and get changed."
Chu Kuangren hurriedly shut the door and went outside to wait.
Phew... that was far too stimulating.
Although Lan Yu certainly would not refuse if he wanted to do anything to her, Chu Kuangren had no such intentions for now.
Aside from certain specific cultivation techniques, retaining their primal yang during the early stages could help cultivators advance to some extent.
This was also one reason the original owner of his body had refused to become a kept man.
"Young master, who is that young lady?"
Xiao Bing's head was now full of questions.
She had only been away a short while. How had someone else appeared beside the young master?
And an absolute beauty at that. If such a person were a disciple of the Mystic Heaven Sect, she should have become famous long ago.
"She is my follower. There's no need to ask anything else."
"Understood."
Xiao Bing nodded obediently.
Chu Kuangren nodded in satisfaction. Several maids had been assigned to attend him, but he had kept only Xiao Bing.
It was precisely because he valued her gentle, obedient nature.
She never uttered a word about things she should not ask.
A little while later.
The door opened.
Lan Yu walked out. Looking at her, even Xiao Bing, a woman herself, felt a sudden flutter, as though her heart had been struck.
She was too beautiful.
The blue-and-white cross-collared blouse and skirt outlined Lan Yu's slender curves, her long silvery-white hair casually tied behind her head.
Her skin was like ice, her bones like jade, and her brows like kingfisher feathers. Her clear, bright, pale-blue eyes were particularly mesmerizing, as though they held glittering stars.
Lan Yu stood there, elegant and untouched by worldly dust, like a holy immortal maiden.
"You're truly beautiful, miss."
Xiao Bing offered her heartfelt praise.
Chu Kuangren also nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad. But where are your wings?"
He noticed that Lan Yu's wings had disappeared.
"You seemed to prefer that I not draw too much attention, young master, so I put them away. If you wish to see them, I can show you anytime."
As Lan Yu spoke, her wings emerged once more from her shoulder blades.
"That's quite convenient. All right, put them away."
"Yes, young master."
Beside them, Xiao Bing clicked her tongue in wonder.
She had never expected this young lady to possess such an ability.
Over the next few days, Chu Kuangren remained in the Dao Palace, cultivating.
During this time, he had not missed his daily draws either. However, whether his luck was rotten or something else was at work, everything he drew was Black Iron-grade. He tossed all of it straight into his Heaven and Earth Ring.
Ling Tian Dao Palace.
Inside his room, Chu Kuangren sat cross-legged on the bed. Streaks of purple radiance flowed over his body, giving off an incredibly sharp sensation.
This was the sword qi formed by cultivating the Purple Star Emperor Heaven Sword Art!
The Purple Star Emperor Heaven Sword Art had nine levels.
They corresponded to the nine cultivation realms from Qi Refining to Manifestation.
In two days, Chu Kuangren had already cultivated it to the peak of the second level, equivalent to the peak of Foundation Establishment, leaving him only half a step from the Golden Core Realm.
Before this, he had merely been in the Qi Refining Realm.
Yet in just two days, he had crossed an entire major realm and several minor realms.
If word of this cultivation speed spread, it would probably scare people to death.
His Supreme Dao Body was part of the reason, but the Spirit-Gathering Formation and the cultivation resources supplied by the Mystic Heaven Sect also deserved considerable credit.
"At this rate, I can reach the Golden Core Realm in less than ten days. Most True Disciples are at that stage too."
Chu Kuangren murmured.
Just then, the Message Compass at his waist vibrated.
"Young master, True Disciple Li Yao has come to visit."
Xiao Bing's voice came from the compass.
"Oh, Li Yao?"
Chu Kuangren's brows rose slightly.
He was very familiar with that name. She was the True Disciple who had wanted to take the original owner of his body as her male favorite and keep him.
"Let's go have a look."
Outside Ling Tian Dao Palace.
A woman in a brightly colored robe stood with a large bundle of thorny branches strapped to her back. Quite a few disciples had gathered around to watch.
"Look, that's True Disciple Li Yao. She's bearing thorns to beg forgiveness. Tsk, does Li Yao have some grudge with Chu Kuangren?"
"You haven't heard?"
"That woman Li Yao is wanton and promiscuous by nature. She keeps a whole bunch of pretty boys in her palace. She took a fancy to Chu Kuangren before, but he rejected her. Humiliated and enraged, she beat him badly enough to leave him seriously injured."
"So that's what happened. The wheel of fortune really does turn. Who could have imagined Chu Kuangren would awaken a Supreme Dao Body? Li Yao's scared, so she's come specifically to bear thorns and beg forgiveness. She really can swallow her pride."
"Someone's coming out..."
Chu Kuangren walked slowly out of Ling Tian Dao Palace, dressed in a white, wide-sleeved robe patterned with qilin and wearing a jade crown. His bearing was ethereal and otherworldly.
The moment he appeared, he drew everyone's attention.
"S-so handsome!"
"No way. There's actually a man this beautiful in the world?"
"Is he our newly appointed chief senior brother?"
"Heavens, I think I've fallen in love."
Li Yao, who had come bearing thorns to beg forgiveness, looked up and saw Chu Kuangren. Originally, she had harbored a trace of resentment toward him.
Because he had suddenly awakened a Supreme Dao Body, she had been forced to come apologize. Otherwise, her days ahead would be difficult.
But when she saw Chu Kuangren, that trace of resentment instantly vanished. His looks were simply too captivating to her.
He was handsome when I saw him before, but now that he's become chief senior brother, he's even better-looking. Heavens, I really can't control myself.
Li Yao stared at Chu Kuangren in infatuation.
She even ignored the burning pain in her back.
As soon as Chu Kuangren left the Dao Palace, he saw Li Yao below the steps. The sight of her bearing thorns to beg forgiveness made him pause slightly.
"I offended you, senior brother, and have come bearing thorns to beg forgiveness."
Li Yao dropped straight to her knees, holding a long whip in both hands as she said earnestly, "Whether you wish to kill me or cut me to pieces, senior brother, I leave myself entirely at your mercy!"
Chu Kuangren was even more bewildered.
What was this supposed to be?
Following the usual script, wasn't I supposed to cultivate diligently, then seek revenge on Li Yao, defeat her, and trample her beneath my feet?
Why had she come looking for a whipping herself instead?
