Chapter 227: Senior Sister, I Lost Because He Licked Me!

The two continued chatting for a while about matters concerning the Sacred Domain, and Gu Fan even subtly inquired about the Destiny Continent.

What he heard here was consistent with what the boy he had encountered upon just transmigrating had said.

In their view, the Destiny Continent was an evil and degenerate place. The Supreme Lord had once discovered this land and attempted to enlighten it.

However, it was said that due to some indescribable reasons, the attempt failed, and even the Supreme Lord vanished without a trace.

In short, the beings from the Destiny Continent were considered wholly evil. If there was a chance, the Sacred Domain would definitely make a move to purify it.

However, from the tone of this disciple, Gu Fan judged that the Sacred Domain must be restricted by some reason and could not take full action against the Destiny Continent.

As for the rifted region, this disciple simply smiled and said:

“It’s merely a place for disciples to train their combat awareness and develop real battle skills. In fact, it’s a long-existing spatial rift. Due to certain special reasons on our side of the Sacred Domain, we generally only allow a few small and medium clans to enter. Powers like our Immortal Ai Sect are outright forbidden from participating. Otherwise, even if just one of our disciples were to go, they’d be at the Solar Radiance Realm. What fun would there be in a massacre?”

Mao Chang laughed casually, but Gu Fan felt a surge of pressure.

The so-called arch-enemy of the Destiny Continent was actually just a low-level force dispatched from the Sacred Domain’s side.

He had always believed the strength and scale of both sides were roughly on par, but now it seemed that if a full-scale war truly broke out, the Destiny Continent would be utterly crushed!

After chatting for a while and obtaining the information he wanted, Gu Fan saw Mao Chang off.

He then returned to the inner courtyard to begin cultivating. The Mysterious Power here was extremely abundant, several times that of the outside world. He wanted to seize this opportunity to raise his strength to the peak of the Late-stage Divine Moon Realm as quickly as possible.

That way, he could also strive to break through to the Solar Radiance Realm sooner.

The fear he once had of being hunted down upon arriving in the Sacred Domain had now been ‘peacefully’ resolved. For now, he would familiarize himself with the situation within the Immortal Ai Sect, and later figure out how to get to the Divine Soul Sect.

Once Ruo Xi recovered from her Divine Soul Injury and regained consciousness, he could find a way to leave this place and return to the Destiny Continent!

Within Changxing Peak of the Immortal Ai Sect.

Nan Xuanrou returned alone to her cave residence. The servant by her side had long been waiting inside to attend to her.

As one of only two Celestial Heart Realm disciples in the Immortal Ai Sect, her treatment surpassed even that of most core elders.

“Activate the Spirit Spring. I want to bathe and change.”

“Yes, Master.”

Moments later, in the rear courtyard of the cave residence, a spring began to emit countless streams of Mysterious Power.

Nan Xuanrou disrobed, revealing skin as pristine as white jade, and slowly stepped into the Spirit Spring.

For some reason, her mind recalled the battle she had just had with Gu Fan.

Everything beforehand was fine, but when she remembered the sensation of Gu Fan licking her fingers toward the end, her entire body grew uncomfortably hot!

That unprecedented experience and unsettling feeling seemed to have taken root and begun sprouting within her.

This feeling made Nan Xuanrou, who was used to having everything under control, extremely irritable. She disliked anything that deviated from her expectations, and she despised unpredictability.

Uncertainty implied danger and the unknown, which ran counter to her goal of cultivating for immortality.

Thinking of this, she slapped the water’s surface, her face flushed red, and spat bitterly:

“Shameless bastard, in three years, I will kill you and cleanse my Spiritual Platform!”

Yet even she didn’t realize that, as she said these words, there wasn’t the slightest trace of killing intent in her tone!

Just then, someone chuckled and said:

“Oh, oh, oh? Isn’t this my dear sister Rou’er? I haven’t seen you this flustered in years!”

Nan Xuanrou immediately composed herself upon hearing the voice.

“Senior Sister Yanhuan, why aren’t you spending time with your Senior Brother? What are you doing here?”

A curvaceous woman, not wearing a single thread, leisurely stepped into the Spirit Spring.

“Hehe, your Senior Brother is just a block of wood—way too dull. I was thinking of coming over to discuss how to enlighten him. Since I happened to catch the Spirit Spring being activated, whether it’s soaking alone or with someone else, it’s still soaking. Sharing some spring water with my elder sister shouldn’t be too much, right?”

Nan Xuanrou lifted her jade-like hand and rubbed her brow, feeling somewhat speechless.

This woman was named Xia Yanhuan. Before Nan Xuanrou had broken through to the Celestial Heart Realm, Xia Yanhuan had been the second strongest disciple in the sect.

Nan Xuanrou found Xia Yanhuan rather exasperating. While others cultivated for immortality or status, she cultivated for the sake of chasing after men.

And the man she was chasing was none other than the Immortal Ai Sect’s Senior Brother, the strongest disciple in the sect.

Her cultivation had been stuck at the peak of the Late-stage Solar Radiance Realm. Every time she claimed she felt a breakthrough coming, but it never happened.

“Now that you’re here, how could I chase you away? But Senior Sister, you really should focus on breaking through. Staying stuck at the Late-stage Solar Radiance Realm—be careful the Senior Brother doesn’t scold you!”

Xia Yanhuan, however, waved her hand nonchalantly and said, “Soon, soon. I feel like I’m about to break through any day now.”

Nan Xuanrou was all too familiar with these words by now but didn’t bother arguing. Cultivation was a personal matter; no amount of talking from others would help.

“Right, enough about me. I saw you just now looking troubled, even slapping the water in frustration!”

“I’ve known you all this time, and aside from the three times you lost to the Senior Brother in duels, I’ve never seen you this agitated. Be honest, did something happen?”

Nan Xuanrou, reminded of the day’s events, had that dreadful memory rush back again.

Her ears instantly turned red, and her expression twisted into a mix of shame and anger she couldn’t control.

“Senior Sister Yanhuan, you jest. What could have happened to me? It’s just that I ran into some trouble during cultivation, that’s all. Got a little upset.”

Nan Xuanrou tried hard to appear calm, but who was Xia Yanhuan?

She was the Immortal Ai Sect’s number one romantic brain—absolutely sensitive in these matters!

Just one look at Nan Xuanrou’s expression and she knew it was far from simple. For someone like Nan Xuanrou, usually focused solely on cultivation with a serene state of mind, to show such a reaction—it could only mean one thing. It had to involve a man!

At once, Xia Yanhuan’s eyes lit up as if she had discovered a whole new world. Shamelessly inching closer to Nan Xuanrou, she said:

“Rou’er, talk to me. I’m telling you, cultivators shouldn’t keep things bottled up. It can seriously hinder your cultivation progress. You don’t want that, right?”

“This…”

Nan Xuanrou hesitated. What she said did make sense.

“That’s why you need to let it out. We’re bosom friends. If you won’t talk to me, who will you talk to? Those lecherous male disciples? Pour your heart out to them?”

“Impossible!”

Nan Xuanrou instinctively rejected the idea. Comparing the options, she realized confiding in Xia Yanhuan might actually be the best choice.

After all, as fellow women, at least it wouldn’t be so awkward to talk.

“Senior Sister Yanhuan, something indeed happened today that left my mind unsettled… something I can’t accept.”

Xia Yanhuan’s eyes lit up even more. That look… that expression… no doubt about it—this was definitely one of those matters between men and women!

She excitedly nodded and said, “Mhm, mhm, I’m listening!”

Nan Xuanrou’s eyes held hesitation and internal conflict. In the end, she tried to appear indifferent, her expression cold as she said:

“Senior Sister Yanhuan, I was sparring in Physical Body Combat, and in the end… in the end, I lost because someone licked me!”
