Chapter 61, Section 60: Sister Pei, could you please personally remove the demonic runes from me? (4K words, 12)

Within the Blissful Illusionary Realm.

"Boom!"

With the fierce battle of over a hundred rounds coming to an end, the outcome was decided.

A purple crack appeared in the sky above the illusory realm.

"Aunt Liu, you're too kind—"

Looking down at Palace Master Liu, whose beautiful eyes were rolled back and who was already a defeated opponent with a dazed expression, Chen Ran humbly and politely tossed his head and gave her a quick kiss on her beautiful face.
"I have benefited greatly from this battle. Thank you, I am grateful. You are indeed the greatest and most beautiful female bodhisattva in this land of Chu."

"Little thief. Little thief."

Faced with the youth's desecration, Palace Mistress Liu's lips parted and she murmured repeatedly, her plump jade arms hanging limply, completely powerless to resist.

"Now that the outcome is decided, our agreement should take effect—"

Chen Ran squatted down and picked the latter up in his arms: "Let's go, let's go out together to meet those believers you've brainwashed, and then tell them who the true master of the Goddess Palace is."

"Little thief, answer one question for me."

Holding the young man, the delicate and weak-looking Princess Liu had no intention of resisting anymore, and her pair of snow-white jade legs, as white as mutton fat, drooped limply.

"You came prepared, didn't you? From the very beginning—you've figured out my Goddess Palace!"

At this point, Palace Master Liu frowned, her beautiful eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness: "You used your hideous, terrifying, and disgusting methods to break the chastity seal on Rong Yue and remove the demonic markings from her body. Isn't that right!"

"Yes," Chen Ran said truthfully. "In fact, from the moment I found that secret medicine to strengthen the physical body in the Golden Sandalwood Temple secret realm, the outcome of today's battle was already determined."

"However, in my initial plan, it was simply to rescue Fairy Shen and then guide her to liberate the entire Goddess Palace. Before that, I considered countless methods you might use, but I never expected this."

Chen Ran looked at the defeated queen in his arms, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "You actually dared to use such a technique to fight me one-on-one. Hmm, could it be that you, Palace Master Liu, thought of possessing me the moment you saw me?"

"Shut up!" Palace Master Liu became agitated, her cheeks flushing red again. "After learning that you had bewitched Rong Yue, as her master, I want to repay you in kind and to torture you severely in this Blissful Illusionary Realm to avenge Rong Yue!"

"Really? Then you're a genius."

Time flows slowly in the Illusionary Realm, so Chen Ran was no longer in a hurry and decided to get straight to the point. "However, in my opinion, you don't want to avenge Rong Yue. You just want to regain the prestige of your Goddess Palace. In your heart, there has always only been yourself and your unrealistic grand cause of human revival, right?"

"..." Liu Wuyan didn't deny it, but gritted her teeth and said, "Impossible? If it weren't for you, you hothead, suddenly barging in, the first step of my plan would have already been achieved! Even Princess Ni Chang of the Great Zhou..."

She quickly stopped talking at this point.

"Princess Ni Chang?" Chen Ran clicked his tongue. "She was involved in your coup plan too?"

"Hmph." Palace Master Liu arrogantly turned her face to the side: "Why should I, a mere brat, waste my breath on you?"

"Naive," Chen Ran said. "You overestimate yourself and underestimate the current Chu King. Over the years, he has secretly accumulated strength, using the blood and flesh of the common people to absorb various evil cultivators hidden in the Central Plains, forming an evil cultivator army that is only loyal to him. If it comes to a head-on confrontation, your Goddess Palace has less than a 30% chance of winning. I believe you are aware of this."

In my opinion, the only way to bring him down is—

He deliberately kept everyone in suspense.

As expected, Palace Mistress Liu stammered, pressing for an answer: "What...what is it?"

Chen Ran said frankly, "The chance to save the people of Chu lies with Princess Xueying's Great Snow Dragon Rider, with your disciple Rongyue, with the little dragon girl who was suppressed in Dragon Sleep Lake, and with me. In short, it has nothing to do with you, Palace Master Liu."

"you"

Liu Wuyan's beautiful eyes widened in astonishment, then she roared in fury, struggling with all her might: "What...what do you want to do with Rongyue...what do you want to do with my Goddess Palace?!"

"You will know when dawn breaks," Chen Ran said calmly. "When Princess Xueying's birthday banquet begins, the long-buried truth will be revealed, and the White Dragon Fairy will descend once more, and everything will be over."

"You little thief! You're playing with fire and getting burned!" Liu Wuyan said, "If you want to die, don't drag my disciples down with you!"

"You poisonous woman, still pretending?" Chen Ran sneered. "If you truly cared about your twelve disciples, would you have set up those disgusting demonic runes for them?"

"How could you, you brat, understand!" Liu Wuyan raised her fair and beautiful face, her expression surprisingly resolute: "Of all the blades in the world, love is the most hurtful. To keep them away from worldly desires and allow them to focus on cultivation, I, their master, have gone to great lengths! I give them calming pills every month to suppress the demonic runes! As long as their will is strong enough, they can get through it. Over time, their Dao hearts will become more and more resilient, and eventually, they will no longer need the antidote!"

"Liu Wuyan, your self-righteous attitude really makes me want to give you a good beating."

Suppressing his anger, Chen Ran said, "I only have one question now—"

"You, residing in the State of Chu, surely know that Aunt Luo has entered the Central Plains. As her best friend with whom she has shared a life of love and conflict, why don't you send someone to intercept and kill her?"

"Don't even mention that woman!"

Liu Wuyan bit her lip, the anger on her face disappeared, replaced by a few traces of sorrow, and her eyes reddened: "Back in the Cangming Sect, she listened to the slander of outsiders but did not believe me. From that moment on, I was determined to sever all ties with her! From now on, everything she does has nothing to do with me!"

"She ventured alone into the Central Plains; she brought this upon herself! I won't help her! Of course I..."

She lowered her head and added in a very soft voice, "I'm too lazy to harm her."

"Hmm, you're not completely bad, woman."

Chen Ran rested his chin on his hand and said, "Who knows, we might have a chance to cooperate openly and honestly."

"Hmm?" Liu Wuyan was taken aback, then coldly rebuked, "You little thief, don't even think about it! Putting aside the fact that we have different principles, you have committed such a shameless act of blasphemy against me and my Goddess Palace today. I will fight you to the death! There is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation between us!"

"Yes." Chen Ran placed the soft, alluring body he was holding onto the ground. "Actually, on the way here, I've been thinking about something—"

"How can a stubborn woman like you be changed? Now, there is finally a definite answer."

Liu Wuyan was taken aback, looking up at the young man's handsome face, feeling a strange flutter in her heart: "What do you want?"

"The answer is—" Chen Ran leaned closer, parting Palace Master Liu's slightly parted, luscious lips once more.
"Adjust it slowly."

Liu Wuyan: ()
"Puff puff puff——"

Half an incense stick's time has passed in this world.

After listening to the goddesses' account of the cause and effect, Luo Shenggu's anger subsided, but her brows furrowed even more tightly:
"That woman Liu Wuyan pulled Chen Ran into the barrier, and he hasn't come out yet?"

“Yes.” Shen Rongyue said, “To be honest, Holy Maiden, I know a little about the barrier technique my master uses; it seems to be from the Hehuan Sect.”

"No need for further explanation!" Luo Yuling bit her lip and said, "That woman was entangled with Nangong Mei, the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect, back in the Eastern Lands. I know that very well! The key now is—"

She looked at the silent Fairy Pei and said in a hoarse voice, "Senior Pei, you are well-versed in spatial swordsmanship, can you find the entrance to the barrier?"

"Yes." Pei Qingyan's phoenix eyes were closed, and her body exuded a profound sword aura, as if she were sensing something. "But it will take some time."

The words just fell out.

"call out!"

A clear whistle came from the dome.

The women looked up and saw a purple crack, resembling a vertical pupil, emerge!

next moment!
A young man in white, carrying a charming and mature woman in palace attire, emerged from the crack and descended towards the ground!

"It's Young Master Chen! He... he really did defeat Master!"

Shen Rongyue was overjoyed and cried out first.

The eleven attendant goddesses around her were also overjoyed and wept, their beautiful legs rubbing together excitedly!

Very good!
This young master with extraordinary abilities is still alive!

Their magic markings can be saved again!
Under the excited gazes of all the women in the room, Chen Ran landed on the ground, somewhat taken aback.

"Hey, Aunt Luo, Sister Pei, what's going on?"

He tossed Liu Wuyan aside and walked straight toward the two "protectors of the grass": "Didn't I not crush that life-saving mud pill?"

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to say that!"

Luo Yuling, who had been worried, stood with her arms crossed and her beautiful legs in black stockings spread apart, instantly regaining her usual arrogant demeanor. "You only said you would meet this Fairy Shen, but you didn't say you would face Liu Wuyan directly! If you, you little thief, really die here, I'm afraid Senior Pei will be heartbroken."

The words just fell out.

The young man's large hands had already wrapped around her, embracing her slender and soft waist.

"Thank you, Aunt Luo."

Chen Ran said gently, "I am once again indebted to you for your kindness."

"Shameless! Let go! Let go!"

In front of all the women present, being hugged so intimately by the young man, Luo Yuling blushed and turned her head to the side: "You should be comforting your sister Pei; she was just now..."

Before she could finish speaking, the young man had already turned around and walked towards the white-clad female swordswoman.

"This little thief really insists on treating everyone equally, doesn't he?"

Luo Yuling's lips pursed, revealing a hint of melancholy.

Then, she remembered something and looked at the Palace Master of the Goddess Palace who was surrounded by a group of goddesses.

She was as slender and beautiful as ever, except for a slightly weaker complexion. She was almost identical to the genius demonic girl from twenty years ago, except that there was a hint of mature woman's charm between her brows.

"Liu Wuyan, you're still as alluring as ever after all these years."

Cangming Saintess bit her lower lip tightly, her beautiful eyes red with tears.

Amidst a myriad of complex emotions, she finally stepped forward slowly, her beautiful legs clad in black stockings.

She can't fool herself.

Twenty years after that falling out, deep down she often couldn't help but worry about her former confidante, wondering if she would adapt well to life in the East, or if she would be deceived by those hypocrites and meet with misfortune.
But now, seeing this sister dressed in an expensive and gorgeous palace dress, possessing such a luxurious palace, her beauty is even greater than before, and she was just with that young man in the Illusionary Realm of Joy.
A hint of resentment lingered in her heart!

"Master! Master, are you alright?"

After all, he was her master who had raised her. Seeing his haggard appearance and unconscious state, Shen Rongyue choked up instantly.

"Well"

Palace Master Liu slowly opened her eyes, but her gaze bypassed her disciples and went straight to the black-robed figure in the distance.

Luo Yuling quickly turned around.

A soft female voice came from behind:
"Sister Yuling, I see you!"

the other side.

"Sister Pei."

Chen Ran held the female swordswoman's soft, slender hand: "You're such an idiot."

"I," Pei Qingyan pursed her red lips, then lowered her head, not daring to look the young man in the eye, "Ran'er, I'm sorry about last night."

Chen Ran shook his head, reached out a hand, and stroked the female sword immortal's cool and beautiful phoenix face. "Those who are loved do not need to apologize."

"Huh?" Pei Qingyan parted her lips slightly, suddenly looked up, and stared at the young man with sparkling eyes.

“If I’m not mistaken, what Sister Pei is practicing should be the complete ancient version of the ‘Heavenly Charm Demonic Pattern Technique.’ So, at most, the Holy Maiden can only help me suppress it. If you want to completely exorcise it, you, the one who cast the spell, will have to do it yourself, right?” Chen Ran asked bluntly.

Pei Qingyan paused for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "Mm."

Her lips turned down, and her serene phoenix eyes were now glistening with tears.

"I'm sorry, Ran'er. When I first met you, I was afraid that you, the chosen one, wouldn't want to come with me, so..."

"I already said, there's no need to explain."

Chen Ran brushed a strand of hair from the fairy's side, revealing her snow-white earlobe. "A real man is one who can forgive a woman's lies."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Pei's voluptuous body beneath her white robes trembled violently. She raised her head and looked at the young man: "Ran'er, you really are..."

"Shh, fairy, be quiet."

Chen Ran nestled his head in the soft embrace of Pei Xianzi's neck, "I am truly happy that you and the Holy Maiden came to find me today. Nothing from the past matters anymore, really."

"All you need to know is that from now on, I, the chosen one, will never leave you easily again. I will fulfill my initial promise and stay by your side until I help you find your true self in this life and pull out that Azure Sword. Do you understand?"

“Yes!” Pei Qingyan nodded emphatically.

She looked at the young man pressed against her chest, and a rare blush rose to her exquisite phoenix cheeks.

Then, overwhelmed by an irrepressible emotion, she obediently straightened her tall, voluptuous body, reached out, and caressed the young man's hair:
Those empty, dull phoenix eyes gradually softened with a maternal, loving light.

"Ran'er, you've been so good to me." Fairy Pei looked at the young man in her arms and murmured earnestly.

"Okay?"

Chen Ran took a deep breath, feeling a rich, ethereal fragrance enter his five orifices, and his mind felt refreshed like never before: "Sister Pei, I don't feel completely better yet."

"Hmm?" Fairy Pei tilted her head, looking bewildered.

"I've successfully taken over the evil Goddess Palace. Tonight, let's have a little celebration. Sister Pei, will you help me completely remove the evil markings?"

"Ah? Ah!"
