The Devil's Tribulation

Nanzhou Holy Flame Island, in the Holy Flame Realm.

Inside the Emperor Soul Beast's cave.

Two naked figures slept in each other's arms. Xue You's pretty face still had the blush of 'doing business' on it. She lay happily on Pan Chengfeng's chest.

Pan Chengfeng, however, was not as content as Xue You after "getting things done." He was chewing on a straw, closing his eyes and pondering: "Sigh, when will this ever end?"

Xin'er will need at least another hundred years to reach the Nascent Soul stage, and Qian'er won't give it to me either. If it weren't for my powerful body-refining technique, I would have already suffered a cultivation mishap.

Thinking back to the terrifying scene last night, Pan Chengfeng felt a lingering fear.

He didn't expect Xue You to be so bold as to actually try to "take care of" him. Isn't this going against the Heavenly Gang?

If he hadn't activated his body-refining technique in time to suppress the rising Pan Erdi, he really wouldn't have escaped Xue You's 'capture'.

In the end, it was the same old story: Pan Chengfeng used the knowledge he learned from Japanese adult films in his previous life to satisfy the ravenous Xue You, thus successfully escaping the 'crisis'.

"Sigh~" Pan Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh, which woke up Xue You, who was fast asleep. However, Xue You did not open her eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep.

Pan Chengfeng's body-refining technique was already highly skilled; how could he possibly hide it from someone at such close range?

Pan Chengfeng smiled wickedly, his devilish hand reaching for Xue You's breasts, kneading them for a while. Xue You's delicate body trembled slightly, but she endured it and did not move.

Seeing that Xue You could still restrain herself, Pan Chengfeng decided to extend his evil claws to a certain place.

The moment his large hand touched her lower abdomen, Xueyou let out a startled scream, her small fists pounding Pan Chengfeng's chest as she said coyly, "You lecherous scoundrel, did you already know I was awake?"

Pan Chengfeng withdrew his large hand, and said with a smug look, "My body-refining technique is unparalleled in the world. As soon as you woke up, the frequency of your breathing and heartbeat changed. How could I not know?"

Xueyou looked surprised and said, "Body cultivators have such abilities? Does that mean that no one can pretend in front of their husband anymore?"

Pan Chengfeng shook his head and said, "It's not that exaggerated, there are still many restrictions."

For example, the distance is too far, the difference in strength is too great, or there are creatures that I don't understand, or some with special abilities. Anyway, there are still quite a few limitations, it's not as exaggerated as you think~

Xueyou looked at Pan Chengfeng with adoring eyes and said, "Just the fact that you can sense me shows how capable you are, my husband."

I had originally intended to offer some advice to my husband, but now it seems I was short-sighted.

Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "Body Refining Technique is the foundation of my husband's life, and I would never give it up."

Moreover, my husband possesses a primordial holy body, which slows down his cultivation progress.

Although his combat strength far surpasses that of others of the same level, my husband still needs to rely on body-refining techniques to protect himself when facing a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Xueyou nodded slightly and said, "That's true. Last time I fought against a Nascent Soul cultivator, I paid a great price to kill him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to participate in the Genius Competition."

Upon hearing the story of Xue You killing a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Pan Chengfeng became interested and asked, "Baby~ how did you kill a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator? I'm very curious, tell me~"

Xueyou didn't really want to mention that person, but since it was Pan Chengfeng who asked, she didn't.

She could only reply, "Actually, there's not much to say. He was just a lustful glutton. I paid the price of sleeping for decades to kill him."

Next, Xueyou briefly talked about the Nascent Soul cultivator who had been killed.

That happened decades ago. Mao Xinqi, the sect leader of the Snow Goose Sect, saw Xue You by chance while attending an auction in the Northern Continent.

Although Xueyou's veil can block divine sense, it also depends on who that divine sense belongs to.

The divine sense of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator is incredibly powerful; Xueyou's veil simply cannot block it.

Therefore, Mao Xinqi was able to see Xueyou's face.

Upon closer inspection, wow, wow, there was such a beautiful woman!

As a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Mao Xinqi certainly had no shortage of women, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a beautiful woman, especially since she was only at the late-stage Nascent Soul level.

Now Mao Xinqi couldn't help but have the idea of ​​capturing Xueyou and keeping her captive for his own pleasure.

It is said that beautiful women bring disaster, and Xueyou's appearance is the epitome of that.

After the auction ended, Xueyou sensed that something was wrong.

Being followed along her journey was nothing new for her, but this time she was actually being targeted by a powerful expert in the mid-stage of the Integration Realm.

Xueyou was helpless. Although she was not afraid of cultivators at the Integration stage, if they really fought, her cold poison would flare up prematurely.

Xueyou didn't want to fight against a Nascent Soul cultivator, so she tried to use the terrain and her movement techniques to shake off Mao Xinqi.

After a series of maneuvers, the other pursuers were shaken off, but Mao Xinqi was a mid-stage Fusion Realm expert, so how could he be so easily rid of?

Left with no other option, Xueyou lured Mao Xinqi to a secluded spot and confronted him.

Mao Xinqi's expression changed drastically upon hearing that it was the Holy Maiden of the Jade Maiden Sect.

He initially intended to leave, but hesitated when he thought of Xue You's stunning beauty and her terrifying background.

Mao Xinqi was afraid that Xueyou would tell the elders of the sect about his training experience after returning, and that he would be implicated.

The women of the Jade Maiden Sect are not to be trifled with. There are dozens of cultivators at or above the mid-to-late stage of the Integration Realm, and an ancestor at the mid-stage of the Mahayana Realm is also in charge.

If those women were to settle scores later, Mao Xinqi's Snow Goose Sect would be completely unable to handle it.

Thus, Mao's curiosity was piqued, and his evil intentions were born. He decided to rape and then kill her!

A cultivator at the Integration Realm has the means to disrupt spacetime. As long as he carefully removes the traces afterward, no one can find out that it was him.

So the two started fighting.

Mao Xinqi originally thought he could easily control Xue You, and he wanted to enjoy that perfect body. How could he enjoy it if it was smashed?

Therefore, not much magic power was used at the beginning.

But the more they fought, the more alarmed they became, and the more ominous things seemed.

No matter what he did, Xueyou handled it with ease.

From the initial rape and murder to the long-winded negotiation and eventual surrender, and finally to the severe injury and begging for mercy, only half an hour had passed.

As Xueyou finished speaking, a hint of hatred appeared on her face. "He forced me to use all my magic power in a desperate gamble."

I hate him so much that I want to utterly destroy his soul and spirit.

As a result, I fell into a deep sleep for thirty years.

Although I have been in a deep sleep for the past thirty years, the cold poison in my body has been tormenting my body and mind at all times.

If it weren't for the Ancestor's constant presence by my side, I would probably have perished long ago..."

Pan Chengfeng asked in surprise, "You've been asleep for thirty years? Does that mean you've been asleep ever since that incident, only waking up in the last few years?"

Xueyou nodded and said, "About six years ago, the ancestor found a precious herb and gave it to me, which allowed me to wake up ahead of schedule."

Otherwise, I would have to sleep for at least fifty years, and might not even wake up..."

Pan Chengfeng patted Xue You's smooth back and comforted her, "Alright, alright, you won't have to suffer anymore. You can enjoy life comfortably now."

Xueyou pressed her pretty face against Pan Chengfeng's chest and said with a happy expression, "These days have been the happiest days of my life in more than three hundred years."

The Ancestor instructed me to participate in the Grand Competition, saying that my destiny was filled with tribulations, but there was a high probability that I would find a turning point here. The Ancestor indeed did not lie to me.

Pan Chengfeng asked in surprise, "Your ancestor could tell fortunes?"

Xueyou shook her head and said, "It's not that the ancestor can tell fortunes, it's that one of the ancestor's close friends told her."

"Oh?~" Pan Chengfeng exclaimed in surprise, "It seems there are quite a few talented people out there, some who can actually tell fortunes~"

"Baby, if you have the chance, introduce me to your husband~"

Xueyou shook her head again and said, "I'm afraid this won't work. That senior is elusive. Even if the ancestor wanted to find him, he couldn't. You can only see him if he wants to see you."

Pan Chengfeng wanted to see that person so he could have his fortune told. As for not being able to get him to come? He refused to believe that there was anyone he couldn't invite.

Pan Chengfeng chuckled and said, "Even immortals are not without desires."

"Bao'er, next time he goes to your Jade Maiden Sect, send me a message, and then try to keep him there for a few more days. I'll personally go and intercept him!"

Xueyou paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Xueyou laughed heartily, her breasts swaying up and down.

Pan Chengfeng couldn't help but reach out with both hands and grasp Xueyou's ample breasts, grinning wickedly, "What are you laughing at~ Be careful, or I'll punish you according to the family rules!"

Xue You blushed and brushed away Pan Chengfeng's mischievous hand, saying, "Do you even know what level of cultivation he has? How dare you go and block him?"

"Could he also be a Mahayana cultivator?!"

Xueyou nodded and said, "Peak Mahayana cultivation!"

"Hiss~~~" Pan Chengfeng gasped, "The Jade Maiden Sect actually has such a foundation, how come it's only ranked third in the Northern Continent?"

Xueyou replied, "The Jade Maiden Sect doesn't care about these things. Moreover, the sect only has 30,000 years of history, and its overall strength is indeed inferior to the first-ranked Wind and Snow Sect and the second-ranked Snowdrift Sect."

"Overall strength?" Pan Chengfeng understood and continued to ask, "Why doesn't the Jade Maiden Sect recruit more disciples? That way, it won't take many years for their strength to surpass theirs."

Xueyou sighed and said, "What my husband said is understood by the elders of the sect, but the Northern Continent is inherently harsh and cold, and resources are scarce."

In particular, the number of mortals is less than one-tenth of that in the Eastern Continent, and even further behind that of the Southern Continent.

There are few mortals, and even fewer who can cultivate. In addition, the Jade Maiden Sect's "Ice Heart Jade Maiden Technique" can only be practiced by women, and there are extremely harsh cultivation conditions, so it is difficult to recruit more disciples.

The cultivation techniques of the Wind and Snow Sect and the Snowdrift Sect do not have these restrictions, and both have accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years. It would be very difficult for the Jade Maiden Sect to surpass them.

Pan Chengfeng thought about it and realized that the population of Beizhou was indeed pitifully small, and there was nothing he could do about it.

So the two stopped talking about it and snuggled together. Not long after, Xueyou's even breathing came again.

The process of treating both of them was very taxing, especially Xueyou, who had only rested for one night and was far from fully recovered.

If Pan Chengfeng hadn't made a sound, Xueyou would have slept for who knows how many days.

So after talking for a while, Xueyou got tired and immediately fell asleep.
