That idiot from the Sword Sect turned out to be a lucky charm.

Despite his young age, Lin Zhifeng had seen his share of the world in his original world. For one thing, he'd seen plenty of bikini-clad beauties. Not to mention, he'd watched adult films with his classmates during his school days. Therefore, his expression was very calm, much like Ding Mo's wooden expression.

Lin Jun and his group were a different story. Although they all acted like spoiled brats, belonging to the idle and irresponsible type within the Sword Sect, the Sword Sect was still a large sect with a very upright atmosphere and strict management. Even if they wanted to cause trouble, there were no brothels or entertainment venues in the town down the mountain. Passing around a few pornographic pamphlets was the most outrageous thing they could do.

Now, suddenly seeing such a large group of scantily clad, sexy women, these silly kids first widened their eyes, then blushed and hurriedly tried to hide. But they were still curious and sneaked peeks again.

In short: It's incredibly surreptitious!

The female cultivators of Happy Valley burst into laughter upon seeing this. The leader, exuding charm, glanced at the group of "little white rabbits" and said with a smile, "So you're the senior brothers from the Sword Sect. Happy Valley greets you!"

Ding Mo's expression remained unchanged as he returned the greeting, asking, "Is there anything you ladies need?"

The female cultivator said, "We sisters are here to ask for lodging. It's too unsafe to be out in the middle of nowhere, so we'd like to ask you senior brothers to do us a favor and let us stay for the night. As for the conditions..." She paused here, gave Lin Jun and the others a flirtatious wink, and continued, "We'll do whatever you say, senior brothers."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jun and the others blushed even more and were too embarrassed to peek anymore.

Ding Mo said, "It was just a small favor, no need to repay it. Besides the disciples of my Sword Sect, there are also female cultivators from the Hundred Flowers Palace in the cave. We'll all share the cave, so I hope the fairies don't find it crowded."

This means there are other people around, so you'd better restrain yourselves and stop trying to seduce our disciples.

When the female cultivators in Happy Valley heard that people from Hundred Flowers Palace were also there, they all rolled their eyes and restrained themselves.

Ding Mo led the people from Happy Valley into the cave and found them a place to settle down opposite the Hundred Flowers Palace on the inner side. He then went to set up a barrier.

The female cultivators from Happy Valley greeted the people from Hundred Flowers Palace and sat down to rest in their corner.

They are known for their bold and unrestrained style, and without caring about the people around them, they changed their clothes right there on the spot.

The Sword Sect's conspicuous members were much more obedient this time, not even daring to peek.

Seeing Lin Jun and the others' embarrassed expressions, Lin Zhifeng couldn't help but chuckle. "It's alright, the kids just don't get out enough. They'll get better as they travel more and see more of the world."

Fortunately, no one touched the barrier that night, and the disciples of the three sects were quite far apart, so they spent the night peacefully.

After daybreak, the female cultivators from the Hundred Flowers Palace came to say goodbye first, and they headed north together.

The female cultivator from Happy Valley did not ask to accompany them and then took her leave as well.

Ding Mo and his group were the last to set off, this time heading towards the center of the secret realm.

As Lin Jun and his companions walked, they couldn't help but recount their experiences from the previous night.

Lin Zhifeng watched them all beaming with joy and couldn't help but laugh so hard his shoulders shook.

When the female cultivators from Happy Valley were saying goodbye, the leading woman walked past Lin Jun and deliberately stopped. She took a slender, onion-like finger, lightly lifted Lin Jun's face, opened her lipstick-covered lips, and gently blew a breath towards him.

Lin Jun was so startled that he almost exploded on the spot. He jerked back, his face turning as red as a monkey's bottom amidst the laughter of the crowd.

Lin Zhifeng laughed and said, "What? You're much better now? You weren't such a naive kid when you were being teased earlier."

Lin Jun was extremely embarrassed, and with his neck stiff, he cursed, "You little Lin, how dare you laugh at me? What, aren't you a virgin or something?"

Lin Zhifeng didn't want to really provoke him, so he smiled and said, "Of course I am too. It's just that I'm still young and don't have as many tricks up my sleeve as you guys."

Lin Jun scoffed, too lazy to argue with him.

After a while, he couldn't resist and leaned close to Lin Zhifeng, whispering, "Little Lin, tell me, if you had to choose, would you choose a female cultivator from Hundred Flowers Palace as your wife, or a female cultivator from Happy Valley?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhifeng wondered if this guy had taken a fancy to the female cultivator from Happy Valley.

Think about it, most normal people would think that female cultivators from the Hundred Flowers Palace would be the best candidates for a spouse. Besides, female cultivators from Happy Valley rarely form marriages. This kid has quite a unique perspective!

Lin Zhifeng respected Lin Jun's aesthetic sense, after all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, he couldn't help but tease him, "Senior brother, have you reached this level now? You can choose any female cultivator from Hundred Flowers Palace and Happy Valley?"

Lin Jun had been wanting to teach him a lesson since last night, and now he was settling old scores with him. He rolled up his sleeves, ready to punch Lin Zhifeng, but Lin Zhifeng had already run away.

The two chased each other, playfully bickering all the way.

Other disciples of the Sword Sect who couldn't stand it went to Ding Mo and grumbled, "Uncle-Master, what kind of behavior do they have? They're so unreliable and have completely disgraced the Sword Sect."

Ding Mo said, "They are still young and innocent, so their mischief won't cause any major problems. Let them be!"

Hearing Ding Mo say this, those people naturally dared not say anything more.

Seeing how well Lin Zhifeng got along with Lin Jun and the others, Ding Mo couldn't help but admire him. He himself was terrible at handling interpersonal relationships, and seeing Lin Zhifeng interact with all sorts of people with ease, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

After traveling for about an hour, the group suddenly encountered a swarm of wild bees. These bees were as large as an adult man's fist, and numbered in the tens of thousands.

Based on previous experience, there must be some kind of magical herb nearby. Perhaps it's the kind that can bloom, which is why these wild bees are attracted to collect nectar.

The stinger of this wild bee is thick and long; getting stung is a real ordeal.

The Sword Sect disciples did not want to confront them directly. Ding Mo ordered everyone to take precautions and avoid disturbing the wild bees.

But sometimes, even when you want to avoid trouble, trouble won't let you go.

For some unknown reason, the wild bees suddenly swarmed together and buzzed towards them.

Without Ding Mo's command, everyone drew their swords and swung them in a dense, impenetrable barrage. Immediately, a large number of wild bees were injured by the sword energy and fell to the ground. In no time, the ground was littered with the corpses of wild bees.

Only a few wild bees managed to break through human defenses and survive; they then stung people viciously whenever they caught one.

The unfortunate man, enduring the pain, managed to kill the wild bee, but the stinger had already broken off and the venom had been injected into his body.

Before long, the people who had been stung felt their wounds go numb.

They dared not delay and quickly took out the antidote pills they had prepared before entering the secret realm and swallowed them. They then asked their companions to help remove the poisoned needles, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

No one seemed to think anything of it, and they all guessed that there must be some spiritual flowers nearby, and probably quite a few. Suddenly, Ding Mo said, "Silence!"

Everyone quickly shut up and kept quiet.

Then everyone heard a buzzing sound, which grew louder and louder as it approached.

A moment later, they saw an endless swarm of bees moving rapidly toward them.

Lin Jun couldn't help but exclaim, "We're going to get covered in stings this time!"

Lin Zhifeng turned to Ding Mo and said, "Uncle-Master, wild bees are afraid of fire, so we can use fire to attack them." After saying that, he first drew his Phoenix Cry Sword, used fire-based sword techniques, rushed to the front of the group, and unleashed a powerful area-of-effect attack on the bees.

This tactic proved remarkably effective against bee swarms; the wild bees were charred and burned to death, their corpses scattering across the ground.

However, there were simply too many wild bees, and the vacancy was quickly filled by the later-appearing wild bees.

Ding Mo shouted loudly, "Sword Sect disciples, listen to my command! All fire-type disciples, stand in the front row, target the swarm of wild bees, and cast your spells together. The remaining disciples are responsible for protecting the fire-type disciples."

After saying that, he took off on his sword and flew towards the center of the wild bee swarm.

He became one with his sword, his body enveloped in sword energy, as he charged left and right through the swarm of wild bees. Wherever the sword light touched, large numbers of dead wild bees fell to the ground.

In just half an hour, apart from the wild bees that were besieging the Sword Sect disciples and were burned to death by Lin Zhifeng and his fire-type sword cultivators, the vast majority of the others died under Ding Mo's sword.
