Chapter 48, Section 47: A Pure First Kiss, Entering the Jade Sacrifice Hall Alone (2-in-1, Please Subscribe)
"Sister Pei, it seemed like you were glowing just now?"

Chen Ran supported Pei Qingyan's soft waist and asked with slight curiosity.

"Ah, is there?"

Fairy Pei shook her head and said, "I didn't care."

Chen Ran took a step back and said seriously, "From this moment on, you no longer need to hide. Stay by my side and escort me to Mount Shu."

"In return—"

"I will guide you to slowly experience what love is."

“Alright.” Fairy Pei nodded, her phoenix eyes brightening again. “Thank you, Chosen One.”

"Harmful."

Chen Ran waved his hand: "From now on, please don't keep calling me the chosen one. Just call me Young Master Chen, or simply call me by my name."

"No good." Fairy Pei shook her head: "It doesn't sound good."

"Then what would sound good?" Chen Ran asked, maintaining a gentle smile as he looked at the female swordswoman.

Fairy Pei tilted her head, thought about it seriously, and said, "Since you call me Sister Pei, it's only natural for me to call you Ran'er, isn't it?"

"Hmm, that makes sense." Chen Ran smiled and said, "Then let's do it that way."

He had barely uttered the words when he suddenly remembered something.

Not good.

If that proud and domineering Holy Maiden were to see this Sword Immortal Pei calling her "Ran'er" all the time, wouldn't she explode?
I was filled with worry.

Fairy Pei, standing to the side, spoke softly, "The Holy Maiden of Cihang Sword Sect has left."

"Huh?" Chen Ran was taken aback. "Sister Pei saw it?"

Pei Qingyan nodded and said softly, "I was right here just now, watching her rush out of your room through the window, as if she were crying."

"this."

Chen Ran pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, between me and Fairy Xiao..."

"Ran'er, I'm not stupid." Pei Xianzi's ethereal phoenix eyes, devoid of joy or sorrow, gradually focused, as if they could see into one's soul. "She seems very reluctant to part with you."

Since the other party had spoken so frankly, Chen Ran nodded frankly, "Sister Pei saw through me."

Fairy Pei pointed to her lips, thought for a moment, and then asked very seriously, "Which one do you prefer, that Holy Maiden of the Demonic Path or Fairy Xiao?"

"."

Chen Ran's body trembled.

No.

What happened to the female swordswoman who's supposed to be a humanoid swordswoman? Why is she being so gossipy?!

It's worth noting that in the game, after she joins the protagonist's team, she's basically asleep the entire time, a pure buff support with hardly any lines!
"Okay, Sister Pei, don't overthink it."

"There's something I once said to Xiyue, and I'm entrusting it to you with the same sincerity now."

Chen Ran cleared his throat and said sincerely, "The road ahead—whether it's you, the Holy Maiden, or Fairy Xiao, you are all wings for me to soar through the heavens!"

"wing"

Fairy Pei pondered these two words, thought for a moment, and said, "If Ran'er wants to ascend, I can help you, but they can't."

"Of course," Chen Ran said with a wry smile, "but the prerequisite is that your 'Sword Silence' must be healed with love, right?"

Don't say it.

He was really looking forward to seeing what kind of tremendous help this female sword immortal, who was at the peak of her combat power from the start, could bring to his "Speedy Ascension to Immortality Plan" if Jian Ji disappeared.

Indeed, compared to Fairy Xiao and Saintess Luo, who are prone to jealousy, this detached female swordswoman is much more useful.

“Hmm.” Fairy Pei pursed her lips, her phoenix eyes dimming slightly: “Sword Silence is indeed something I can’t control, but my master said that when the Purple and Green Resonance is reached and I find my destiny, it will naturally disappear.”

"Yes! I hope so!"

Chen Ran glanced at the sky and then remembered his agreement with the goddess Shen Fairy. He quickly asked, "Sister Pei, do you have any money on you? Spirit stones or worldly money are both fine."

“Ah.” Fairy Pei shook her head blankly: “Before I parted ways with Ping’er, she gave me several bags full of spirit stones, but I lost them along the way.”

puff.

What a silly fairy who can't even take care of herself!

Chen Ran gave a wry smile and took out ten gold leaves from the Xuanwu Cauldron. "Take this money and go to the Phoenix Heaven Pavilion next door to rent a room in the upper floor. Tomorrow at noon, we'll meet in front of the City Lord's Mansion and set off together for the capital of Chu. As for the rest..."

He rested his chin on his hand, carefully examining the female swordswoman's voluptuous upper body, her incredibly curvaceous and rounded buttocks, and her full thighs, all concealed beneath her white gauze dress.
"If Sister Pei gets up early tomorrow, you can go to Yunjinfang in the west of the city and buy some black cicada stockings, garter stockings, lace, white stockings, etc. You don't need high heels, you're already very tall."

"Wait a minute," Fairy Pei suddenly said softly.

"What's wrong?" Chen Ran asked, startled.

But then, the female swordswoman produced an ancient notebook from who-knows-where. With her slender index finger, she drew a line of light and wrote: "Black silk stockings, suspender stockings, and... what else?"

"."

Looking at the female sword immortal's naturally naive appearance, Chen Ran was speechless and felt a little sorry for her. He said softly, "Normally, these daily chores are all taken care of by your disciple, that little girl Ping'er, right?"

"Hmm." Pei Qingyan nodded gently, without denying it.

"It's alright, Sister Pei."

Chen Ran gently patted Pei Xianzi's beautiful buttocks, took the notebook from her hand, and said tenderly, "No need to trouble yourself. From now on, I'll take over Ping'er's job—I'll take good care of you, and I'll buy you these clothes and socks!"

Upon hearing this, a gentle light once again appeared in the depths of Fairy Pei's phoenix eyes. She stared at the young man for a few seconds and said softly, "Thank you for your destiny... no, thank you."

"Ran'er." This time, she spoke hesitantly.

Looking at the adorable and innocent female swordswoman from Kunlun in the real world, Chen Ran felt his tough guy heart almost melt.

She is so cute.

I want to be with her every single day.

After escorting Fairy Pei to the entrance of Fengtian Tower.

Chen Ran then turned and left.

Before I had taken two steps, a haunting female voice came from beside me again:

"Wait, Ran'er."

Chen Ran turned his head away, and a soft, fragrant breeze brushed against his face.

The female swordswoman's figure had already appeared within arm's reach.

"Here you go."

Fairy Pei held a brocade box in her jade-like hands and handed it to the young man.

"What is this?" Chen Ran was stunned for a moment and did not answer immediately.

"A gift I gave to Ran'er."

"No, Sister Pei, I mean, what is this?"

"It's a gift."

"."

To prevent the female swordswoman from crashing, Chen Ran took the box, opened it, and took a look—

Inside lay a ring woven from tender green spiritual herbs and light pink fairy flowers. A wisp of lingering spiritual light still lingered among the herbs, and it had a faint, refreshing fragrance.

"This is... a gift for me?"

Chen Ran pointed to the ring, then to himself.

"Correct."

Fairy Pei said, "This ring was hand-woven by me using the Heavenly Heart Flower and Dragon Pool Grass from the back of Kunlun Mountain. When you gave me the Sandalwood Flower in the secret realm, Ping'er told me that when a man gives a woman something, she should always return the favor. This is called reciprocity."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ran's brain exploded with a "buzz".

The wise female swordswoman who was AFK the whole time in the game was actually having a long talk about human relationships and social dynamics with me!?
He even gave himself a gift!
As expected, the real world is the most outrageous "what if" scenario!

"So? Do you like it?"

Fairy Pei's clear, phoenix eyes flickered, revealing a hint of anticipation.

"I love so much."

Chen Ran was deeply moved and solemnly accepted the Heavenly Heart Ring. "But this gift is too generous. I must give Sister Pei something else."

"Hmm?" The female sword immortal's phoenix eyes were unfocused, and she was stunned and puzzled.

Chen Ran seized the opportunity, gently pressing his hands on Pei Xianzi's smooth, fragrant shoulders, and closed his eyes—

He gave her a deep kiss on her naturally full, red lips!
She really is.
So smooth!
Chen Ran felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

“This is…” Fairy Pei’s phoenix eyes widened, her gaze blank, as if she had not yet recovered from some kind of emotion.

“This is called kissing,” Chen Ran said. “It’s also the beginning of love.”

"I'm leaving now, Sister Pei—see you tomorrow."

After giving the female swordswoman a final, tight hug, Chen Ran, like a ghost, disappeared into the alleyways shrouded in night.

"Finally... has it begun with the chosen one?"

Looking in the direction where the young man disappeared, Fairy Pei pursed her lips, savoring what had just happened.

At this moment, she could clearly feel a strange heat rising from the depths of her long-dormant heart.

"call out."

In a daze, the Azure Sword on her back once again emitted a faint purple light.

This time, it lasted a full breath before it went out.

Following the perfect route from memory.

Chen Ran quickly arrived at the gate of the city lord's mansion located in the center of the city.

At this moment, the magnificent city lord's mansion was still brightly lit, resembling a glowing black beast under the night sky.

The State of Chu has twelve free trade city-states open to cultivators, nominally governed by court officials dispatched by the King of Chu as city lords.

In reality, the city lord is merely a figurehead; the true power holder is the head of the twelve palaces of the Goddess Palace—the "Twelve Attendant Goddesses," whose status is second only to the palace lord, Liu Wuyan.

This Phoenix Perch City is ruled by Shen Rongyue, the Jade Sacrifice Hall Master, who is Liu Wuyan's most outstanding disciple and the head of the Twelve Divine Maidens.

Chen Ran stopped beneath the plaque at the mansion gate. A group of heavily armed guards, all possessing considerable martial arts skills, bowed and greeted him: "Welcome, Young Master Chen!"

"Ok?"

Chen Ran was slightly taken aback, and was about to speak.

"call out."

A gentle breeze swept in from afar.

Immediately afterwards, a shower of flowers fell from the night sky.

A dozen or so goddesses, palace maids, and cultists dressed in golden veils descended from the sky, surrounding a flying chariot covered with rose petals, their figures as graceful as dancers under the moon.

"We are here to welcome Young Master Shen on the orders of Palace Master Shen!"

The believers bowed in respect, their voices soft yet reverent.

"Thank you."

Without hesitation, Chen Ran entered the sedan chair.

A moment of effort.

The flying chariot landed.

A palace made entirely of white marble suddenly came into view.

Chen Ran knew, of course, that this was the central hub of power in Phoenix Perch City.

In his past life in the game, this was the first place he looted when he entered the city.

There is a chance of discovering Shen Rongyue's private belongings, triggering a hidden storyline.

"Please come in, young master. The palace master is already waiting inside." The two maids guarding the palace door curtsied and spoke softly.

Chen Ran strode into the hall.

A refreshing fragrance with a hint of sweetness instantly filled my nostrils.

Of course he knew what it was.

"The Enchanting Incense of the Spiritual Enchanting Realm".

This incense can disturb the mind and induce illusions; ordinary cultivators will surely collapse upon smelling it.

Fortunately, he had prepared in advance and had bought "mind-awakening pills" at the market beforehand. At this moment, he felt clear-headed and unaffected.

We arrived at the empty center of the hall.

Look up.

At the far north end of the main hall, there stood a jade couch about three feet high, with pale purple silk curtains hanging around it.

Behind the curtain, a slender, graceful figure, adorned with an elaborate crown, leaned lazily against the wall.

The overlapping silhouettes alone were enough to conjure up an image of the woman's long and graceful legs.

"Pfft."

A melodious, silvery laugh, tinged with a touch of lazy teasing, drifted over:
"He keeps his word; Young Master Chen's solo journey to the meeting truly demonstrates his sincerity."

"Of course I'm sincere." Chen Ran smiled faintly and walked straight toward the beautiful figure on the jade couch without any hesitation. "But whether Fairy Shen has it or not is another matter."

talking.

He stepped onto the first white marble staircase—

"Rude! Stop right there!"

"How dare you, a filthy mortal man, defile a goddess!"

"Retreat immediately! Otherwise—kill without mercy!"

Several female cultists, dressed in silver armor and wearing pointed helmets, and resembling attendants, darted out from the shadows behind the curtains on both sides and blocked the way.

"Hey, want to play some more, Fairy Shen?"

Chen Ran sighed softly.

At the same time, the ice-type true essence within the dantian was rapidly circulating according to the mental cultivation method of the "Nine Nether Profound Ice Scripture".

"laugh!"

He casually waved his right hand.

The air inside the hall suddenly cooled down, and a few wisps of white vapor emerged from his fingertips, turning into several pale blue ice shards that scattered towards the female attendants!
"Bang!"

The moment the ice shards shattered, the maids froze in place, their skin visibly covered with a layer of white frost.

In an instant, they all turned into human-shaped ice sculptures!

next moment.

"Snapped."

Chen Ran snapped his fingers.

The ice sculpture shattered with a crash, revealing a series of wooden puppets painted with colorful paint through the flying ice fragments!
"Fairy Shen, your Palace of Astronomy seems bustling, but in reality..."

"Besides you, there's no one left alive, is there?"

"You, so lonely and isolated, have even turned your deceased parents and sister into mannequins. How pathetic and pitiful."

Chen Ran stepped over the wooden puppet that had turned into ice crystals on the ground and walked step by step to the tall, beautiful figure above, standing in front of the bed.

Simultaneously.

Behind the curtain.

Shen Xianzi's pretty face changed color completely. She sat up and stared in astonishment at the tall figure outside the curtain.

Her alluring golden goddess-like robes, already clinging to her figure, now accentuated her exquisite curves with every rise and fall of her chest, making her appear even more slender and delicate.

Separated by a curtain, the young man stood below the steps, while the goddess leaned against the couch.

The only sound in the hall was the soft rustling of incense ash falling from the incense burner.

After a long silence.

Chen Ran sat down at the table to the side, breaking the silence: "Very well, then I'll make my stance clear first."

"The person I most want to see during this trip through the Chu Kingdom is not you, but a princess and a cute little female dragon."

"And both of these are closely related to you, Fairy."

Shen Rongyue remained silent for a moment, then bit her lip and asked, "Young Master Chen, who exactly are you?"

"You don't need to worry about that."

Chen Ran said calmly, "Just tell me if you can introduce me to them. Then I'll tell you how I can help you in return."

"Hmph, Young Master Chen, you have quite the big mouth."

Shen Xianzi tried her best to calm herself down and said coldly, "Let alone someone as unknown as you, Her Highness the Princess would never see you. As for me—this goddess is deeply trusted by my master and the king, and I govern Phoenix Perch City, the largest of the twelve free cities. I really can't think of anything that would require your 'help'."

"Still pretending, huh?" Chen Ran sneered. "If you weren't interested in me, you would have been violent towards me outside the restaurant room just now, wouldn't you?"

"I"

Shen Rongyue bit her lip, her tone finally softening considerably: "Yes. At the Demon-Slaying Assembly at Jin Tan Temple, there were countless righteous geniuses, and even a fox demon causing trouble. Yet, the ultimate winner was someone as unknown as you. I am indeed very curious about this."

“That’s right.” Chen Ran chuckled. “Attraction is the prerequisite for two people to form a close bond and an alliance.”

"Hmm?" Fairy Shen was slightly taken aback, carefully considering the other party's words, and felt that something was amiss. "Alright, Young Master Chen, there's no need for us to play games anymore. What exactly is your purpose in coming to Chu? And why do you know so much about me?"

"I told you, all I want is an opportunity," Chen Ran said earnestly. "But if possible, I wouldn't mind redeeming you, Fairy Shen, along the way."

"save?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Rongyue frowned, her anger resurfacing: "Fine! Since you continue to spout such arrogant words, then this goddess will listen to what you can actually do for me, hmm?"

"That's too many."

Chen Ran said calmly, "First of all, I know a great secret that is enough to shock all the subjects of the Chu Kingdom, and that is—"

"You, Shen Rongyue, the high and mighty, pure and flawless chief goddess, the national goddess in the eyes of millions of Chu citizens, are about to be reduced to... the most depraved and lewd."

"Silence!!!"

Shen Xianzi, who was behind the curtain, suddenly interrupted sharply, her voice filled with panic and shame.

Her pretty face turned deathly pale, even her snow-white earlobes were burning red, and she clutched her heaving breasts tightly with both hands, her voice trembling as she said:
"Do you know what these words mean in the State of Chu? To slander the goddess, how many heads do you have?"

"To be honest, it doesn't take much courage," Chen Ran said calmly. "And, I also want to tell Fairy Shen something—"

"Only I can save you in this world."

"So, let's go back to the topic of our initial conversation—"

"Does the fairy intend to go straight for the sweetness, or follow the proper procedures?"

After saying all that,

The fairy behind the curtain fell completely silent.

The air inside the hall seemed to freeze.

The atmosphere became tense and deathly silent.

Chen Ran wasn't in a hurry.

Waiting patiently for the right shade.

He bent down and picked up the goddess's bright red high-heeled jade shoes, the "Golden Crystal Beaded Shoes," from the bedside, stroking and playing with them with great interest.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Ten breaths passed.
"laugh."

The curtains were lifted by a pair of delicate hands adorned with ornaments—

A beautiful fairy with a tall and slender figure, wearing a phoenix-patterned crown and exquisite makeup, stood barefoot on the couch with her snow-white legs tightly pressed together. Her soft, almond-shaped, light blue eyes looked down at her from above.

"We might be able to talk."
