Song Wen glanced at the numerous Giant Flying Ships behind Lan Chen and spoke.

"Immortal Maiden, your grand arrival here has put my humble Asura Sect at risk of annihilation."

Lan Chen replied, "Yin Shuo, you misunderstand. I have no intention of attacking Tiancang Mountain. I simply wanted to provide an opportunity for disciples from both sects to exchange ideas. If you dislike this, I'll have them leave immediately."

With that, she ordered her disciples to pilot the Giant Flying Ships back to the He Huan Sect.

"Immortal Maiden, what exactly do you want?" Song Wen asked, watching the ships gradually disappear into the distance.

Lan Chen smiled seductively, her red lips parting slightly.

"I've sent invitations many times, but you never came to my Bliss City. I had no choice but to come and invite you in person."

Song Wen sighed inwardly. Could it be that, having given up on reaching Divine Transformation, Lan Chen had succumbed to her desires and now devoted herself entirely to sensual pleasures?

"Yin Shuo, come with me to Bliss City. I have something to show you," Lan Chen said.

"What is it?" Song Wen asked, reluctant to go.

"Don't worry, I won't harm you. You'll understand when we reach Bliss City," Lan Chen said.

"I'm not going!" Song Wen refused without hesitation.

Lan Chen paused, gazing at Song Wen for a moment before relenting.

"Very well, if you don't want to go, I won't force you. But we haven't seen each other in fifteen years. Absence makes the heart grow fonder... perhaps..."

"Let's go to my Cultivation Cave," Song Wen said.

He, too, felt pent-up frustration that needed release, and Lan Chen was the perfect outlet.

The two entered Song Wen's Cultivation Cave on Tiancang Mountain.

Later.

Lan Chen lay half-reclined in Song Wen's arms, asking, "Why do I feel like you don't trust me as much as before? Are you wary of me?"

Song Wen replied, "I encountered some unexpected events and nearly lost my life."

Lan Chen said, "Ah, I see. The Immortal Cultivation World is inherently treacherous, filled with deception. Only the cautious can survive long. But you don't need to be wary of me. With my current cultivation and strength, there's nothing worth betraying you for, except perhaps opportunities related to Divine Transformation."

After hearing this, Song Wen glanced at Lan Chen sideways.

Lan Chen was honest, making no rash vows of eternal loyalty. She simply stated that there was nothing in this world worth betraying him for.

"Yin Shuo, don't you really want to see Bliss City?" Lan Chen asked.

Her repeated mentions of the city piqued Song Wen's curiosity.

"I've been to Bliss City at least ten times. I've never found anything particularly special about it. Why are you so insistent on inviting me?"

Lan Chen replied, "I've had an imperial palace built specifically for you in the city's center."

"An imperial palace?" Song Wen was surprised.

He wasn't some mortal emperor who needed an imperial palace.

"This imperial palace is only accessible to you. The rest of the inhabitants are all beautiful female disciples I selected from the He Huan Sect. Wouldn't you like to see it?"

Eight words flashed through Song Wen's mind:

Wine pools, meat forests, unrestrained debauchery.

This had been his ultimate fantasy in his previous life.

But now, reborn and with the chance to live forever, how could he let desire cloud his judgment?

"Very well. When do we leave?" Song Wen asked.

Lan Chen's smile bloomed like a crimson cluster amaryllis, its allure as intoxicating as the flower itself.

Suddenly, she rose and threw herself onto Song Wen.

Song Wen ultimately didn't enter Bliss City. Instead, he hovered a hundred miles outside, gazing at the palace at the city's center.

The imperial palace was lavishly constructed, a testament to ultimate extravagance.

"Aren't you going to take a look at the imperial palace?" Lan Chen asked.

"No need," Song Wen replied sternly. "As cultivators, it's best to stay away from wine, women, and worldly pleasures."

"You're probably worried I'll harm you, aren't you?" Lan Chen said.

"Immortal Maiden, you're overthinking," Song Wen replied. "I still need to visit the Beastmaster Sect. I'll take my leave now."

Just then.

A sudden explosion erupted from within Bliss City, drawing both their attention.

The source of the commotion was a male cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Moreover, Song Wen recognized him.

Fang Xingyan!

Mu Yunxin's husband.

He stood outside the He Huan Heavenly Spring Courtyard, channeling a flying sword to strike the courtyard.

However, the Heavenly Spring Courtyard was protected by a forbidden barrier, which deflected his flying sword.

Fang Xingyan's disturbance attracted a crowd of onlookers from the street, and it also alerted those inside the Heavenly Spring Courtyard.

Several lightly clad He Huan Sect disciples, their faces grim with murderous intent, stormed out of the courtyard.

"Who's the blind fool causing trouble at the Heavenly Spring Courtyard?" the leading woman demanded.

The woman leading the group was in the late Foundation Establishment stage. Though beautiful, her thin lips and wide mouth suggested she was sharp-tongued and quick-witted.

When she saw that the one who had attacked was Fang Xingyan, her anger vanished instantly, replaced by a mocking smile.

"Oh? It's Sister-in-Law Fang! What's got you so riled up today? Why don't you come into the Heavenly Spring Courtyard and let this little sister cool you down?"

As she spoke, she reached out to grab Fang Xingyan, trying to pull him into the courtyard.

Fang Xingyan slapped away her hand and barked, "Madam Yang, I'm here for my wife. This has nothing to do with you. You'd best stay out of it, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Madam Yang, unfazed by being called 'Madam Yang', merely looked at Fang Xingyan with a mocking gaze.

"Elder Mu is in Heaven-Class Room One. I wonder... do you dare face what's happening inside?" She let out a low chuckle.

Fang Xingyan gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with fury, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.

Suddenly, he took a step forward, his figure flashing as he crossed the threshold of the Heavenly Spring Courtyard and entered the first-floor hall.

The Heavenly Spring Courtyard had five floors. The hall resembled a courtyard, with an open ceiling that led directly to the sky.

Standing in the center of the hall, Fang Xingyan looked up at the first room on the fifth floor.

Though furious, Fang Xingyan hesitated, his face a mask of indecision.

It seemed Madam Yang was right: he lacked the courage to confront the scene unfolding within the room.

"Useless! Green Slave Turtle!" Madam Yang's voice pierced through the clamor of the hall. "You don't even have the guts to catch your wife in the act!"

Her voice was piercingly sharp, cutting through the noise of the crowded hall. Everyone in the courtyard turned to stare at Fang Xingyan.

Catching his wife in the act at the Heavenly Spring Courtyard?

The male cultivators who had come seeking pleasure perked up, their eyes glued to Fang Xingyan, eager to witness the drama.

Under their scrutiny, Fang Xingyan's face cycled through shades of green and white, his expression utterly mortified.

In that moment, with everyone watching, he had no choice but to confront the scene within the room, whether he wanted to or not. If he retreated now, what shred of dignity would remain for him as a man?

With a leap, he soared to the fifth floor, landing outside Heaven-Class Room One.

Just as he was about to slash the door open with his sword, it suddenly swung open, and a figure emerged.

It was Mu Yunxin.

Her clothes were disheveled, her hair in disarray.

Mu Yunxin glanced at the crowd of onlookers in the courtyard below, her expression darkening. She turned to her husband with a look of reproach.

"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you never to set foot in the Heavenly Spring Courtyard?" The most update n0vels are published on ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet
