Chapter 777 - 749: Silent Night

Feeling the alertness in Mu Qingyan’s gaze, Sun Zhe quickly raised his hand and gave her a friendly smile.

"Such a treasure, who wouldn’t know? Fairy, don’t overthink. Though I’m greedy and lustful, I’m not a bad person. I have no intention of taking the Enlightenment Lotus from you."

As he spoke, Sun Zhe’s gaze unintentionally drifted towards her.

The blood-stained dress she wore before had been replaced and discarded somewhere, and the brand-new flowing immortal white dress now wrapped her captivating waist, hips, and legs perfectly; her proud, full figure was almost bursting forth, with a glimpse of a snow-white gorge between the towering jade peaks.

Even more thrilling, the waist area of the white dress featured semi-transparent lace, revealing snowy skin underneath, and even her belly button could be faintly seen, mysteriously alluring.

Looking at the stunning fairy before him, Sun Zhe felt his Yang Qi nearly spiraling out of control, secretly sighing that such a woman should only exist in the heavens.

Among the women he had met, only Xia Shiyue, Jiang Qinglan, and Xia Shiqing could compare, even Lin Shuqing was slightly inferior in aura.

Mu Qingyan perceived the heat in Sun Zhe’s gaze, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes, she said blandly, "The Enlightenment Lotus is in the Valley of Ten Thousand Burials."

"The Enlightenment Lotus is Yin and Yang born together, blooms once every five hundred years. I’ve obtained the Yin Lotus before, and there should still be a Yang Lotus there."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe was delighted, asking, "Can you tell me the specific location?"

Mu Qingyan’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, taking a deep look at Sun Zhe, she nodded, "I’ll take you personally, but there are many cultivators guarding it, there’ll be a life-or-death struggle, be prepared."

Without hesitation, Sun Zhe turned towards the cave entrance, "Let’s not delay, why don’t we go now?"

He could roughly guess that Mu Qingyan agreed to take him so easily likely because she wanted to use him against those guarding the Enlightenment Lotus.

Mu Qingyan watched Sun Zhe’s back, hesitated momentarily before laboriously standing up and following slowly.

After stepping out of the cave, Sun Zhe glanced back at the breathtaking fairy behind him, saying, "Fairy, your condition is quite bad, your cultivation seems to be continuously decreasing, I suppose you also desperately need the Enlightenment Lotus."

Mu Qingyan was silent for a moment, thinking that with Blood Soul Technique in place, this little demon couldn’t cause much trouble, she replied truthfully, "The Enlightenment Lotus I obtained before was not mature, only the Yin Lotus without the Yang Lotus, it’s not beneficial to me, but harmful."

Sun Zhe pondered for a moment, then casually smiled, "Alright, when we get the Yang Lotus, we’ll split it fifty-fifty. In any case, fairy, I’ll look after you now."

Mu Qingyan kept her expressionless face, inwardly a bit disdainful, thinking if not for the fact that I’ve gone berserk, my Dao Foundation damaged, and my cultivation severely reduced, I could easily crush a small Spirit Gathering Realm demon like you.

"Everyone, come quickly, that thief is here!"

Just then, an angry shout suddenly echoed from the sky ahead.

Sun Zhe’s spirit jolted, quickly looking up, realizing it was a Wang Family disciple, he couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

"Damn, still haunting me."

Mu Qingyan was a bit speechless, glancing at Sun Zhe with resignation, "Did you provoke these people?"

Sun Zhe gave her an honest smile.

Mu Qingyan raised her eyes towards the Wang Family disciple in the sky, about to speak when she suddenly felt her delicate body sway and found herself engulfed in a broad embrace.

"Fairy, pardon my impudence!"

Sun Zhe wrapped his arm around her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace, then sped off as a phantom.

At his current speed, even without the Yin Yang Wings, the Wang Family disciple couldn’t catch up.

Mu Qingyan asked, "Why not kill him?"

Sun Zhe replied, "He’s already sent a message, killing him would still lead to people chasing us, and it’s too time-consuming. Hold tight, fairy, I’m speeding up!"

...

Twisting through the mountains and ridges, after a while Sun Zhe finally shook off the Wang Family disciples.

"Fairy, where’s the Enlightenment Lotus you mentioned?"

At that moment, Mu Qingyan was gazing at his handsome profile in a daze, not even realizing her face had turned red.

Moreover, for reasons unknown, she found herself quite fond of this little demon’s aura, feeling particularly safe being held in his arms, her inner impulse wanting to blend with him.

"Fairy?"

Sun Zhe called again.

Mu Qingyan finally snapped out of it, hurriedly averted her gaze, instantly returning to her usual aloof and cold demeanor, saying blandly, "Fly southeast, at your speed, we should arrive tonight. But we can’t fly directly to the destination, there are many cultivators guarding it."

Sun Zhe nodded, jetting off at full speed after confirming the direction.

No further words were exchanged on the way.

Not until sunset, when Sun Zhe felt exhausted did he decide to stop and rest.

He descended with Mu Qingyan into the mountains and ridges, finding a gorge to hide, planning to rest for the night before seeking the Enlightenment Lotus.

Regarding Mu Qingyan, Sun Zhe naturally remained vigilant, not want to reveal his status as an Earthling. Therefore, after finding a place to rest, he didn’t take out the supplies he brought from Earth from the Ring Space, but instead hunted a large fish in the gorge water pool as tonight’s dinner.

In the endless silent night.

By the water pool in the gorge, the campfire emitted warm light.

Sun Zhe sat on a pebble, looking at the sizzling unknown large fish before him, his appetite was stirred.

He glanced at Mu Qingyan adding firewood to the campfire, her mind visibly preoccupied, and asked, "Fairy, would you like some?"

"No need, I’m fasting."

Sun Zhe chuckled, "Actually, given your current situation, eating like regular people might be better for you."

"No need."

Mu Qingyan appeared very cold, putting on a distant facade, stood up and sat cross-legged aside, reminding him, "We can set off at dawn, that’s when those cultivators are most lax."

Sun Zhe nodded, "Alright, let’s score big tomorrow."

"..."

After satisfying himself with a grilled fish, Sun Zhe found a spot not far from Mu Qingyan to sit cross-legged.

Time passed unnoticed.

Suddenly, strange moans sounded in the silent night.

Sun Zhe opened his eyes in surprise, discovering Mu Qingyan was already lying on the ground, her legs squeezing tightly, unsettledly twisting and rolling like a newly transformed beautiful snake, incredibly alluring.

"Fairy, what’s wrong?"

Sun Zhe promptly got up to check on her, reaching out to lift her from the ground.

However, as soon as he grasped her arm, he felt a biting chill, frost forming instantly on his fingers and palm.

"Whoa, why so cold?"

Sun Zhe was startled, amazed that she was practically a humanoid icemaker, he forcibly endured the cold as he helped Mu Qingyan up from the ground, then maneuvered behind her, pressing a palm against her back, secretly channeling fiery Pure Yang Spiritual Power.

As the warmth flowed in, Mu Qingyan’s pale complexion gradually regained its rosiness, and the indescribable sensation of comfort made her involuntarily moan softly.

However, the extreme Yin cold within her met the Pure Yang Spiritual Power like dry wood meeting a blazing fire, immediately igniting fiercely, rendering her almost irrational, driven solely by primal instinct.

She twisted her tender body into Sun Zhe’s embrace, her arms wrapped tightly around Sun Zhe’s neck, her cold body excessively imbued with Yin Qi greedily absorbing more warmth of Pure Yang essence.

"Mm... so warm."

Sun Zhe inhaled her fragrant scent, feeling his own body and mind both heating up.

Just then, Little Dragon Girl’s weak voice echoed in his mind, "Xiao Zhezi... seize this opportunity, quickly obtain the Enlightenment Lotus."

"If you don’t do this, her cultivation will continue to drop until her Qi and blood wither, dying and fading away, you’re also saving her in a way."

"..."
