Cao Youqian: You Don't Really Think a Woman Can Dazzle My Eyes, Do You?
Outside Wind Thunder Valley, Thunder Qilin stopped what he was doing after hearing the voice, Cao Youqian also turned his gaze toward the Wind Thunder Valley.
A beautiful woman dressed in white with a purple cloak walked out from inside.
Her eyes were like autumn water, her face like a peach blossom, her figure graceful and her curves alluring. Every gesture she made exuded a mature charm, giving people the feeling of a ripe peach. In an instant, everyone's attention was drawn to her.
The beautiful young woman stopped and bowed to Cao Youqian, saying, "This humble woman, Lei Ruoxi, greets the Shaman God."
Upon hearing this, Cao Youqian immediately came to his senses and said with a smile, "No need for formalities. You must be the master of Wind Thunder Valley?"
"Good."
The beautiful young woman did not deny her identity.
Cao Youqian looked at the other woman with great interest and asked with a smile, "What is the meaning of this, Madam?"
Lei Ruoxi said, "My lord, I am willing to submit. I beg you to spare my life."
"I just killed your husband, and now you're begging for mercy? Something about that doesn't seem right to me."
Cao Youqian said with a mocking expression, his playful eyes seeming to see right through the beautiful woman in front of him. He was a seasoned womanizer back in the day, and he had seen all sorts of tricks.
This woman may be beautiful, but that doesn't mean he'll trust her just because of a few words she says.
Thunder Qilin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He had thought that his Brother Qian was going to be bewitched by this old woman, which would have been disastrous.
Lei Ruoxi's expression remained unchanged, instead revealing a self-deprecating smile, "What kind of husband is that? It was nothing more than a fleeting affair. He thought I didn't know about his marriage into the family, and he's still making promises to me here. If it weren't for the need to survive, I wouldn't have given myself to him."
"What a pity."
Cao Youqian said with a regretful expression that he often heard people say that the taste of a married woman is the most wonderful. It turns out that this woman is not that guy's wife, but just a mistress, so the sense of accomplishment is much less.
???
Lei Ruoxi was confused by Cao Youqian's words; she couldn't quite understand what he was implying.
Thunder Qilin, Xia Kang, and the other disciples also looked at their master with strange eyes. If they could ask questions now, they would have wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Seeing Lei Ruoxi's puzzled expression, Cao Youqian smiled and said, "I don't accept useless people here. Tell me, what use are you? I'll see if I can spare your life."
"Brother Qian, no."
Thunder Qilin panicked immediately; he hadn't expected that his Brother Qian still couldn't resist the woman's temptation.
Lei Ruoxi was overjoyed and said with a smile, "I have nothing of value but my humble appearance; I hope you will not find me lacking."
Cao Youqian pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, I happen to need someone to warm my room, so I'll spare your life for now."
"No, if Brother Qian'er were to inform the Phoenix Clan, wouldn't we be in endless trouble?"
Thunder Qilin quickly pointed out the crux of the matter; it did not want to be besieged by the Phoenix Clan.
Lei Ruoxi quickly explained, "My lord and uncle, there's no need to worry. I was banished here by the Phoenix Clan, and that fellow is a useless son-in-law. Right now, the Phoenix Clan's main force is fighting against the other two clans, so it's impossible for them to send several Demon God here."
"You're right, the Phoenix Clan looks down on us."
Cao Youqian paused for a moment and then reassured him, "Da Lei, with me here, you don't need to worry about getting beaten up."
"But..."
Thunder Qilin still couldn't believe the woman in front of him. What kind of the Phoenix Clan would surrender after their partner died?
"There aren't that many 'buts'. Don't you trust my strength?"
Cao Youqian said arrogantly, as if no one in the world could suppress him.
"Okay."
Thunder Qilin knew that his voice carried little weight, so he could only give up trying to persuade Cao Youqian.
Seeing this, Lei Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally survived. However, she would remember the humiliation she had suffered today and one day she would kill everyone and every demon present.
Cao Youqian finally fixed his gaze on the beautiful woman. "You will remain stationed at Wind Thunder Valley, but your Human Race subordinates must send people to my Tyrant Fist Holy Land to participate in the assessment every year. As for you, you only need to come to my Tyrant Fist Holy Land to see me on the first and fifteenth of each month."
"Thank you, sir. I will certainly complete your task."
Lei Ruoxi knew that the other party was being wary of her, but she believed that with her strength, she would be able to conquer them one day.
"Go home."
With that, Cao Youqian jumped onto Thunder Qilin and set off with his disciples.
"This humble servant respectfully sees you off, my lord."
Lei Ruoxi bowed slightly to Cao Youqian's departing figure as she spoke.
Thunder Qilin didn't speak to Cao Youqian the whole way. Seeing the guy's aggrieved look, Cao Youqian smiled and touched its Qilin horn.
"What, you're still holding a grudge?"
I'm afraid you'll be blinded by beauty.
Thunder Qilin said with a frustrated expression, he just couldn't understand why Brother Qian would fall for that kind of old woman.
"Hahaha..."
Cao Youqian couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Da Lei, you've been with me for so many years and your brain hasn't improved at all. I'm keeping her around just to fish for fish. If the Phoenix Clan doesn't send anyone, fine. But if they do, I'll kill one if they come, and two if they come. Then we'll have a continuous supply of Phoenix Pills."
Is this really true?
Thunder Qilin looked at Cao Youqian with disbelief. This was nothing like the Brother Qian he knew, after all, Brother Qian only liked to settle things with his fists.
Cao Youqian laughed and said, "You don't actually think that a mere woman can bewitch me, do you? Back in the day, before I met my master, I had seen countless women. What fairies, witches, and enchantresses haven't I played with?"
Wipe!
Thunder Qilin's eyes instantly turned resentful. "How come you get all the good things?"
Cao Youqian just smiled and didn't say anything. A moment later, they returned safely to the Tyrant Fist Holy Land. Cao Youqian immediately went back to his cave, swallowed the Demon God Core, and began to refine it with his spiritual power.
After swallowing a Demon God Core, Cao Youqian felt as if his entire body was being burned by fire, his internal organs and even his soul were being scorched by the Phoenix Fire.
He then activated his spiritual power to suppress the phoenix fire while simultaneously refining the Demon God Core within his body.
As time passed, when the Demon God Core was refined, a surge of Law of the Great Dao surged wildly within Cao Youqian's body, nearly bursting him apart. Fortunately, Cao Youqian reacted quickly, using his own True Essence of the Great Dao to suppress this surge of Law of the Great Dao Law of the Great Dao and continuously eroding them.
After eighty-one repetitions, Cao Youqian finally refined the Law of the Great Dao into his own True Essence of the Great Dao.
He opened his eyes and laughed ecstatically, "I never expected to gain so much this time, obtaining 99 True Essence of the Great Dao in one go! With this, I'm one step closer to achieving sainthood with 999 True Essence of the Great Dao. Shall we begin hunting Demon God?"
The thought had barely crossed Cao Youqian's mind when a commotion broke out outside.
"Old woman, how many times have I told you? Brother Qian is in seclusion. If you insist on forcing your way in, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Hmph, how would I know if you did something to that lord that made him disappear for months?"
"..."
Hearing the discussions outside, Cao Youqian's face showed surprise. He muttered to himself, "I didn't expect that I would be in seclusion for so long. People outside are already restless. It seems that I need to demonstrate my strength to stabilize their hearts."
He immediately shouted, "What's all this arguing about!"
The moment these words were spoken, the outside fell silent. Lei Ruoxi's alluring yet delicate voice came from outside. "I was worried that you might have taken the Demon God Core indiscriminately, so I wanted to come in and check on you. Now that I know you are alright, I am relieved."
This was the explanation Lei Ruoxi had prepared beforehand, and she wasn't just making things up. Demon God Core weren't so easy to devour. Even when Demon God obtained other Demon God Core Demon God Core, he would dissipate most of the power within them before daring to devour them.
"Is that so? Since you're all so concerned about me, then come in all of you."
As Cao Youqian spoke, he waved his hand, and the restriction on the doorway instantly disappeared, revealing the door wide open.
Lei Ruoxi and Thunder Qilin walked in together, and when they saw Cao Youqian exuded a terrifying aura, their faces showed deep awe.
"Brother Qian, you did it!"
"Good."
Cao Youqian laughed and said, "There's no need to refine a mere Demon God Core. I feel incredibly strong now, and I could even put up a fight against my senior brother!"
Upon hearing this, Lei Ruoxi couldn't help but feel regretful. At the same time, she was also curious about who this senior brother was. If his fellow disciples were all this formidable, wouldn't the faction to which this person belonged be the one to benefit after the three clans fought each other?
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
This change naturally did not escape Cao Youqian's notice, and he asked with a smile, "Ruoxi, what's wrong?"
