I speedrunned the fairies' game!

Chapter 46, Section 45: The Holy Maiden's Night Raid, Fairy Shen of the Goddess Palace (2-in-1)

Two days later.

Phoenix Perch City, a key border town in the State of Chu during the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Inside the most luxurious restaurant in the city, Fengtianlou.

In the elegant pavilion, Chen Ran and Fairy Xiao were enjoying a hearty drink together.

A tall, slender figure in a black robe burst in: "You...you're still sitting there?! Do you know something terrible has happened?!"

"Holy Maiden, do not be anxious."

Chen Ran withdrew his hand from Xi Yue Fairy's beautiful legs and patted the empty seat next to him: "Sit down and let's talk."

Luo Yuling said, "That Shangguan Longying not only slaughtered Jintan Temple, but also burned the entire temple to the ground!"

"This is a good thing!"

Chen Ran chuckled and said, "The bald monk of Jin Tan Temple had long since degenerated and deserved to die. Sect Leader Shangguan's actions can be considered as ridding the people of a scourge. Furthermore, doesn't this just prove that he is a very trustworthy person?"

"Honesty?"

Luo Yuling gritted her teeth and said, "Do you know that Jin Tan Temple was the sacred temple protecting the state of Chu? Afterwards, Shangguan Longying loudly proclaimed that the destruction of Jin Tan Temple was jointly the responsibility of 'himself and his sworn brother, Young Master Chen Ran'! Do you know what that means?"

"The blood debts of all the righteous prodigies who died in the secret realm, including Song Qingfeng, Cai Yukun, and others, will be attributed to you! Right now, you, Young Master Chen, are about to replace me, the Holy Maiden of Cangming, as the new public enemy of the righteous path! Even the King of Chu will not let you go!"

"a piece of cake."

Chen Ran waved his hand and said, "With the entire Tomb Raider Sect under his command, Sect Master Shangguan, he's not afraid? Why should I be afraid? I'm only afraid of—"

He chuckled and downed the wine in his hand in one gulp: "The name 'Chen Ran' isn't famous enough for the rest of the journey."

From Tiandang Peak until now, along the way, whether it was ambushing Situ Hong, obtaining the Xuan Tian Key, slaying the demon fox, clearing the secret realm, or obtaining the final Twin Soul Fruit.

Everything was still within his plan.

The only unexpected thing was the righteous yet wicked leader of the Tomb Raider Sect.

The death of his trusted general Situ Hong unexpectedly caused this powerful figure, who should have appeared in the middle stage, to appear ahead of schedule and personally go to Jin Tan Temple.
The most outrageous thing is that he insisted on becoming sworn brothers with himself, a time traveler?

So magical.

"Young master, there is no need to worry."

Xiao Xiyue reached out her fair hand and gently stroked the young man's hand, softly comforting him, "Justice resides in the hearts of the people. Before leaving Jin Tan Temple, I used a flying kite to send a message to my master, and also sent a letter to Master Cang Qing, the head of the Shu Mountain Sect, detailing the events inside the temple and in the secret realm—including how you, young master, slew the demon fox and rescued the heroes. Those righteous disciples who survived and descended the mountain will surely spread this story far and wide, and by comparing the two, you will be able to prove your innocence."

“Uncle Cangqing is a man of great righteousness and would never place the blame for Senior Brother Song’s death on you without any evidence.”

"Hard to say."

Chen Ran smiled and poured himself the last glass of wine: "But no matter how the righteous path reacts, I don't care, because—"

"The mastermind behind the Chu Kingdom, the Palace Mistress of the Goddess Palace, is about to become my most loyal supporter."

"Goddess Palace?"

"You still know Liu Wuyan?"

Xiao Xiyue and Luo Shenggu both exclaimed in surprise.

The Goddess Palace is a female cultivation sect that has emerged in the last twenty years. Although its headquarters is located in Zhongzhou, strictly speaking, it belongs neither to the righteous path nor the demonic path.

It's more like a mysterious and enigmatic religious organization.

After becoming the state religion of Chu, it was ostensibly a sacred symbol of Chu's "communication with the mandate of heaven and control of sacrifices," but in reality, it had long since achieved a "political symbiosis" with the King of Chu.

The King of Chu used the title of "Goddess Descending to Earth" to consolidate his rule, while the Goddess Palace used the monarch's power to control the faith of the entire nation.

As a righteous saintess, Xiao Xiyue naturally scoffed at the Goddess Palace, which was full of charlatans.

But Luo Shenggu clearly had something to say.

Chen Ran looked at the black-robed Holy Maiden with great interest: "Holy Maiden, as far as I know, the Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, Liu Wuyan, was also taught by Cangming. She and you were once close sisters."

"Shut up."

Luo Yuling clenched her fists, a barely perceptible hint of hurt flashing in her beautiful eyes: "We are not on the same path, so we cannot work together! This woman plotted to overthrow the Holy Sect back then. I wish I could devour her flesh and sleep on her skin!"

"Perhaps it's a misunderstanding."

Seeing that she was truly angry, Chen Ran immediately shrugged and changed the subject.

As she slowly stood up, she deliberately swayed, her steps unsteady as if she were about to fall. "Cough cough, alright, now that we've obtained the Xuanfan Treasure, and we've had our fill of food and drink tonight, it's time to reward myself and rest for a while."

Having said that, he leaned back and was about to fall to the ground!

"Be careful, son!"

Xiao Xiyue quickly stepped forward.

Luo Yuling also reached out to help, but hesitated for a moment.

The next moment, the Holy Maiden Cihang had already taken the lead and embraced the young man!
As for the Holy Maiden, her two delicate hands hung awkwardly in mid-air, her beautiful eyes looking dejected and dazed, like a defeated phoenix.

"Alas, Holy Maiden, you still don't see me in your eyes."

Chen Ran shook his head and gently stroked Xiao Xianzi's beautiful face.

"you"

Luo Shenggu's beautiful face flushed red. She wanted to explain, but in the end, she coldly turned her head to the side. "Hmph, Young Master Chen, you think too highly of yourself. Haven't I said it many times already? You and I are just business partners."

"Ah."

Chen Ran didn't argue, and put his arm around Xiao Xiyue's slender waist, saying, "Xiyue, I've booked the best room in this restaurant. Will you keep me company tonight?"

"I"

Unexpectedly, her beloved spoke so frankly. Fairy Xiao's cheeks flushed, and she glanced at Saintess Luo beside her, nodding slightly.

Chen Ran then turned to Luo Yuling and extended a sincere invitation:
"Holy Maiden, our trip to Golden Sandalwood Temple has been incredibly fruitful. Would you like to join us for a celebration?"

"carnival?"

Luo Yuling pondered these two words, paused for a moment, then a scene flashed through her mind, her cheeks flushed, and she coldly rebuked:
"Bah! You and your Fairy Xiao can go and have your fun. It's none of my business!"

She spoke coldly, walked to the window, gave the young man one last glare, and then vanished into thin air.

That look was both a warning and contained a certain unspeakable expectation.

Chen Ran smiled.

He already knew the answer.

In the stillness of the night, the flowers are in full bloom and the moon is round.

Moonlight streamed through the latticework window, weaving delicate silver patterns onto the carpet.

Red sleeves and warm curtains hang down, creating a cozy and sweet space for two.

There is no time to practice.

I don't know how many times I've come to the "True Secret of Yin and Yang for Overcoming Calamities".

Chen Ran sat up and took a deep breath. He felt that the "dual foundation" he had just built in the secret realm was becoming more solid and firm under the nourishment of the pure and gentle Cihang spiritual power.

"Thank you, Xiyue."

"In just two days, my own portion of the Ice and Fire True Essence broke through the tenth level of Qi Refining and entered the Foundation Establishment stage, officially becoming a cultivator."

Chen Ran pressed himself against Xi Yue Fairy's soft and fragrant body from behind.

He gently stroked the fairy's long, beautiful legs, which were pure white and radiated a jade-like luster in the darkness.

From her fair and rosy feet, down to her slender calves, then to her soft and plump thighs, and finally...

He had never felt so genuinely that a woman's waist could be so perfectly alluring.

At this moment, his large hand swept across Xiao Xiyue's round and perky buttocks, whose curves were not exaggerated, and went straight to her slender waist that could be grasped in one hand.

Just looking at its winding and graceful curves is enough to make one feel refreshed and relaxed.

"No need. Young master, you don't need to say that."

Feeling her lover's close embrace behind her, Xiao Xiyue reached out and pulled his large hand into her arms, her cheeks flushed as she said, "It is Xiyue who should thank you, young master, for making me realize that there are such things in this world."

Chen Ran said, "Is it alright to tell you this time?"

Xiao Xiyue shook her head shyly and stopped talking.

Chen Ran had no choice but to turn into a goofy young man and tell her a lame joke from his past life to cheer her up.

At this moment, Fairy Xiyue raised one of her long, white-stockinged legs high, which shone with a lustrous glow under the moonlight.

"Young Master, Xi Yue is suddenly so sad~" Her cherry lips parted, making a sound that was both sobbing and joyful.

Chen Ran asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Senior Sister Cen just left two days ago, and today she urgently sent me a message saying that Master wants me to return to the sect immediately to discuss important matters, and there can be no delay at all," said Fairy Xiao.

"I know what it is, and you know it too, right?"

Chen Ran kissed Fairy Xinxiang's fragrant nape of her neck, "Then let me speak—the Immortal Cultivation Conference, shall we?"

"Ah."

Xiao Xiyue nodded gently: "Three months later, the Immortal Dao Assembly, presided over by the Sword Saint 'Dragon Yin True Lord,' the leader of the Six Sages of Shu Mountain, will be the first grand event in the Central Plains cultivation world in nearly eight hundred years. At that time, all righteous sects, large and small, will be present. As one of the three great families, Cihang Sword Sect naturally cannot be absent."

"but."

She sighed softly, "My master doesn't want to go herself, but wants me, the Holy Maiden, to represent her at the banquet."

Chen Ran naturally knew this part of the plot.

She also knew that the other party's beautiful master, "Frosty Moon True Person," was a rare and upright female leader in the thousand-year history of the bastard Cihang Sword Sect.

"You're not going to tell me you don't want to go anymore, are you?" Chen Ran asked in surprise.

According to the original storyline of the game, this Fairy Xiyue would be the center of attention and the center of everyone's admiration at the Immortal Cultivation Conference.

"Hmm." Xiao Xiyue sighed softly, gripping the young man's hand even tighter: "To be honest, young master, the core purpose of this Immortal Dao Conference is to redefine the leadership status of the three royal families and assign ranks to the various sects."

"And those who bear the brunt"

"Naturally, it is the Kunlun Dao Sect, one of the three imperial families."

She bit her lip, her face filled with righteous indignation:

"Therefore, to put it bluntly, this conference is a power struggle among the newly risen righteous sects, led by the Qinglan Immortal Sect, to divide up the territory, resources, and spiritual veins that originally belonged to the Kunlun Dao Sect, taking advantage of the power vacuum there."

"It's like this."

Chen Ran nodded and said, "The Kunlun Dao Sect has suffered from a decline in talent over the past few hundred years, with a lack of successors. If it weren't for Fairy Pei in charge, it would probably have been replaced by the Qinglan Immortal Sect long ago."

"But Xi Yue didn't want to, and couldn't bear to."

Xiao Xiyue shook her head and said, "Let's not talk about how much the Kunlun Mystic Maiden made for the righteous path back then. Let's talk about Senior Pei. Thanks to you, young master, I was able to get close to this legendary senior in Jin Tan Temple. She is truly a woman with a pure heart and no desire to compete with the world. I will not allow anyone to harm her at the Immortal Dao Assembly."

"Hahaha, no way, you're overthinking it."

Chen Ran smiled and patted the fairy's smooth, delicate legs, making a crisp "slap slap" sound: "Do you know what I said to Fairy Pei after we left the secret realm, and how I managed to persuade her to go back temporarily?"

"Huh? What did you say, young master?" Xiao Xiyue blurted out.

The previous senior Pei seemed to have an inexplicable obsession with his sweetheart, and now that he was willing to go back, it made her both secretly happy and puzzled.

"I told her—" Chen Ran said frankly, "I will go to find her at the Immortal Cultivation Conference three months from now, and from then on, I will stay by her side every step of the way, helping her cultivate until I help her find that 'process.'"

"The process?" Xiao Xiyue's beautiful eyes were blank for a moment, then her eyes reddened again: "Ah, that's right, of course Young Master will help her. You really do... still like Senior Pei?"

"I won't comment on your words yet." Chen Ran tilted his head back again, getting closer to the fairy's body: "Then let me ask you, if I were to go to the Immortal Dao Assembly, would you still be there?"

Xiao Xiyue's beautiful eyes lit up: "If you go, young master, I will certainly go!"

"That settles it then. When the time comes, will I be with her or with you?" Chen Ran coaxed gently.

"Huh? Is that how you say it?"

Fairy Xiao tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded hesitantly, "Alright then."

"Does the young master mean to persuade me to go back and discuss the conference with my master?"

"Of course." Chen Ran said seriously, "As far as I know, your beautiful master, though seemingly short-tempered, truly cares for all living beings, especially for you. She hasn't had it easy either. Besides—"

"She is your master, and naturally she is mine too. If there is an opportunity in the future, I should take good care of her."

"Oh my God."

Xiao Xiyue's bright, beautiful eyes widened, and her eyes instantly reddened; she was so excited that she almost choked up.

"Young master, is that really what you think?"

"Hmm." Chen Ran patted her little face: "So, what you told me before, about temporarily hiding our relationship from the sect, I really don't care, because in my plan, I will eventually confront your master personally."

"Okay! Xiyue understands!"

In an instant, Fairy Xiyue burst into tears. Forgetting all about girlish shyness, she propped herself up, cupped the young man's handsome face in her hands, and kissed him deeply.

"Young Master, you're too good to Xiyue!"

"No!? What do you mean by 'reversing the Heavenly Gang'?!"

Another incense stick burned.

He practiced for several more times.

Chen Ran was starting to feel fortunate that he had chosen the Vajra Yang Cauldron Pill on the first level of the secret realm.

"Young master, then Xiyue will depart."

By the window, Xiao Xiyue looked back at the young man with tears in her eyes and asked weakly, "Will you forget Xiyue when we meet next time, young master?"

"Oh, it's not that bad. It's only a matter of three months. Besides, once you've finished dealing with your sect's affairs, you can come south to find me anytime."

Chen Ran gazed at the fairy with sincere tenderness: "No matter what happens in the future, there will always be a place for you, Xiao Xiyue, in my heart."

"Ah." Fairy Xiyue shook her head sadly, her eyes even redder.

"what happened again?"

Xiao Xiyue lowered her eyes with tears in her eyes: "Xiyue always felt that although what you said was true, you didn't tell the whole story."

"Oh?" Chen Ran's heart sank.

Xiao Xiyue pursed her lips and walked over with her long, snow-white legs: "Now, besides Xiyue, you already have two confidantes by your side, the Holy Maiden and Senior Pei. With your talent and looks, and... your skill in charming girls, who knows, there might be a third one in the next three months."

As she said this, she came to the edge of the couch, bent down and sat down, tears falling again.

A long silence followed as they stared at each other.

Chen Ran gently stroked the other's small hand and said from the bottom of his heart, "Whether it's you, Holy Maiden, or Senior Pei, you all—"

"These are all the wings that allow me, Chen, to soar through the heavens in this lifetime."

Upon hearing this, the eighteen-year-old Cihang Saintess was startled again, her heart filled with mixed feelings of sorrow and joy.

"Oh, if only I had one wing," she sighed.

"One of them is probably going to crash."

Chen Ran laughed, "Alright, let's go. Now that you've taken the 'Lotus-Stepping Divine Speed ​​Pill' from the secret realm, your movement technique has improved even further. If we set off tonight, we might be able to catch up with your Senior Sister Cen by noon tomorrow and return to our sect together."

"Yes, that's true." Xiao Xiyue nodded gently, but her gaze remained fixed on her lover, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Well, it's already this late, just ask if you want to." Chen Ran saw through the fairy's thoughts.

"Young Master," Xiao Xiyue said, pursing her lips, "That day, when we first kissed, you were so familiar with me. Not only that, but there was also a woman's jade shoe inside the shuttle. So, please tell Xiyue the truth—"

"who is she."

Holy crap, she's still thinking about it.
Chen Ran's heart sank.

At the same time, he was very clear about it.

A white lie can certainly make both parties feel better.

But once you lie, you'll likely have to cover it up with countless more lies.

That is not what an upright gentleman would desire.

"It is the Holy Maiden."

Chen Ran's gaze was honest: "Actually, if you had asked me directly earlier, I would have answered you."

After saying that, his mind raced, trying to come up with words of comfort.

However, the next moment.

To his utter surprise—

Fairy Xiyue bent her slender waist, letting a strand of hair hang from her forehead and revealing her snow-white earlobe.

Then, her flushed face drew closer and closer.
"Son."

"Would the Holy Maiden do that for you?"

Fairy Xiyue parted her cherry lips slightly, her voice carrying a charm rarely seen in her past, "Xiyue...okay."

"what?"

Chen Ran's body trembled.

He had a rough idea of ​​what the other person was going to do.

But he couldn't bear to see this pure and innocent fairy fall into worldly desires for her sake.
"Calm down, don't force yourself, don't betray Cihang because of a fit of pique!"

Chen Ran held Xi Yue Fairy's hair in his hands, looking at her beautiful, slightly upturned eyes that seemed to be secretly watching his every expression, and sighed:

"Three months is too long. Come find me in ten days, okay? I'm getting more and more reluctant to part with you, Xiyue."

"Mmm... Mmm!"

The State of Chu has always placed great importance on religion, and its curfew rules have always been strict.

Just past midnight, Phoenix Perch City fell into complete silence.

The echoes of the night patrol's clappers had faded away, leaving only the chanting of the goddess's maidens and followers drifting from the end of the street.

"That sounds really creepy."

"Taking advantage of an opportunity is one thing, but a little fairy like Liu Wuyan from the Goddess Palace should be severely punished."

Chen Ran was speechless as he complained.

Looking down at the strand of hair left by Fairy Xiyue in his hand, he felt a little more at ease.

However, he was still not sleepy at this moment.

He is waiting for someone.

A woman who was very important to his "Speedy Ascension Plan".

At this time.

The sound of very light footsteps came from the attic corridor, as faint as falling snow.

After Xiao Xiyue left, Chen Ran's cultivation level also returned to its original state.

Although he had only just broken through to the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, he had perfectly inherited the Foundation Establishment Compassionate Navigation Technique that Xiao Xiyue had mastered.

For example, the "Cihang Jingyin Jue" that can identify objects by sound.

At that moment, he listened intently and instantly discerned that eleven female cultivators had come outside.

One of them had a significantly higher spiritual energy level than him, at least at the early Golden Core stage.

In Phoenix Perch City, there is only one female cultivator with such cultivation level.

This is the person he has been waiting for.

Liu Wuyan's most outstanding disciple.

The sharpest sword in the Goddess Palace.

"Is Young Master Chen inside?"

A melodious, soft, and captivating voice, belonging to a mature woman, drifted over.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of hurried footsteps rang out.

It seems that she had sent the female cultivators who accompanied her downstairs, leaving her alone outside the door.

"Cough cough."

Chen Ran cleared his throat, too lazy to even put on clothes, and casually sat down at the rosewood table in the center of the room, brewing a pot of ginseng tea:

"Fairy Shen, stop pretending. I know your background. Are you going to go straight to the point or follow the proper procedure, hmm?"

Hear this.

outside the room.

Wearing a goddess-like headdress and a golden robe, Fairy Shen's beautiful eyes narrowed, and an unprecedented look of panic appeared on her cold and noble face.

Before Chen Ran could speak again, the window lattice rattled, and a figure in black robes appeared and disappeared outside.

"Holy crap, the Holy Maiden!?"

"She really came!?"

Chen Ran stared at the woman who had arrived late, his heart pounding, and he could no longer remain calm.

He had actually considered that this proud and aloof Holy Maiden might visit him late at night and take the initiative to let go of the unpleasantness of the day.

But the key point is that he only prepared one table of food tonight, but two tables of people came!
"Hey, your Fairy Xiao is gone."

Luo Shenggu lowered her head, biting her lip, and said, "Now that she's gone, I'm going to challenge my own weakness! That turtle snake!"

Seemingly ashamed of her late-night visit, her mature and alluring oval face, hidden beneath her veil, flushed crimson as she shook her head and said, "Fine, you... just pretend you didn't see me."

Chen Ran, however, felt a sense of peace and tranquility.

This Holy Maiden of the Demonic Cult, second only to the Emperor and above millions, is the Heavenly Demon of the Eastern Lands.
She was completely—defiled.

"Wait a minute."

He quickly used the Cihang Secret Sound to say to the other party, "Holy Maiden, please come in quickly, okay?"

Just then, Shen Xianzi's voice, which seemed to be both smiling and not smiling, came from outside the door again: "Does Young Master Chen know me?"
