In the thatched cottage, the dim candlelight flickered, while outside, the gentle rustling of rain could be heard.
Lu Xian sat cross-legged on the recliner and opened his eyes. His pupils were clear and deep, with a flash of light within them.
"Zhu Qing, I'm going out for a while. I will be back before dawn at the latest. Wait for me here."
"You are going to another world again..."
Zhu Zhuqing stopped mid-sentence, remembering the presence of an outsider. She simply looked at him and nodded silently.
Being very intelligent, she surmised that Lu Xian's sudden departure might be related to the meditation-like practice he had just undertaken.
If that was the practice method of the other world, then everything made sense.
"Yes."
Lu Xian responded, glanced obscurely at Ning Rongrong, and slowly walked out into the rainy night.
South Korea.
In a secret cave on the outskirts of Xinzheng.
A teleportation portal suddenly opened, and a handsome young man in black tights slowly emerged.
Lu Xian surveyed his surroundings. The light was poor; it was dim, dark, and damp.
This was a cave's stone chamber. In the center stood a square crystal cage, approximately seven or eight meters in length and width. The cage emitted a faint blue light, and the rippling water within cast shimmering reflections on the chamber walls.
Inside the cage, a graceful and slender figure danced in the water like a lithe mermaid. Her long black hair cascaded down to her snow-white legs, clinging to her skin as if possessing a will of its own, revealing an undeniable softness.
The elegant figure was nude, and the mysterious triangle area was vaguely visible beneath the thick strands of hair, both captivating and elusive. Only a pair of delicate jade feet were fully exposed, beautiful and rounded, with exquisite toes that invited one to hold them in their palms.
As Lu Xian approached,
the figure in the crystal cage seemed to sense his presence and abruptly stared in his direction through the crystal wall. Her beautiful blue eyes, accentuated by the faint glow of the cage, were dreamlike, as if capable of drawing one into a trance.
The woman's face was remarkably beautiful, her features exquisitely refined. She possessed a captivating allure, yet without any hint of vulgarity, so perfect that she evoked a sense of wonder at the Creator's artistry.
Meeting her gaze, Lu Xian felt a momentary dizziness, but quickly regained his composure.
"Fire charm? You sensed me despite my light footsteps? That fierce look is quite like a kitten with its fur on end..."
Lu Xian remained unperturbed. The fire charm posed no threat to him. He smiled, walked to the crystal cage, and paused to sigh.
It wasn't that he hadn't seen beauty before, but this kind of beauty, striking at first glance and flawless in every detail, was unprecedented for him. It was a genuine appreciation of what it meant to be so beautiful as to once dominate an era.
Lu Xian admired the rare beauty before him without blinking, feeling a sense of regret that he might never witness such a sight again.
The graceful figure swayed in the water and swam towards him, stopping at the crystal wall. The two gazed at each other silently across the barrier. One watched with keen interest, slightly bothered by the obstructing hair, while the other could only see his reflection in the water on the crystal surface.
Yan Lingji's eyes softened. She could sense a presence outside the crystal wall observing her, unlike the small Korean soldiers whose fire charm she could instantly overcome.
This person was different. He was a master!
The heavy stone door hadn't been opened, which would have created noise. How had this person entered?
Yan Lingji tilted her head and blinked her beautiful eyes. After a moment, her full red lips slightly curved into a sweet, charming, and seductive smile.
[Yan Lingji: @Lu Xian, haven't you seen enough?]
"Ahem!"
Lu Xian, unable to control himself upon seeing the message pop up in the group, made a slight noise.
The figure in the crystal cage smiled even more deeply, raised a green jade finger, and traced the character "break" on the crystal wall.
[Lu Xian: Back off.]
Lu Xian made a grasping motion with his palm, and a long sword with a cold gleam materialized. Just then, Yan Lingji moved aside.
The sword light flashed in the dim stone chamber, slicing through the crystal cage as easily as cutting tofu.
One side of the cage instantly shattered, creating a large, irregular opening, and a significant amount of water rushed out with a "clattering" sound, flowing towards the lower areas.
Lu Xian had already retreated to one side.
After a few breaths, the water subsided, and a beautiful figure stepped out of the puddle with an enigmatic grace. She was enchanting and alluring, her every movement seemingly designed to stir one's heartstrings.
She was truly a peerless enchantress.
Yan Lingji smiled and looked at the young man standing beside her with a sword.
"Is it beautiful?"
She asked softly, her red lips slightly upturned. Her voice was lovely, tinged with a hint of languor. She placed one hand on her waist, her snow-white and smooth long legs, still glistening with water droplets, crossed elegantly. She stood there with poise, displaying her proud figure.
"There is a beauty in the north, peerless and independent."
"One glance from her can make a city fall, another glance can make a country fall."
"Would you rather not know how to make a city fall and a country fall? Such a beauty is hard to find again."
Lu Xian looked her up and down unreservedly, offering lavish praise, and then added, "If you could put your hair back, I think this evaluation could be improved!"
Unfortunately, the highlight remained concealed, looming yet indistinct, making it difficult to fully appreciate.
"You are truly shameless..."
Yan Lingji smiled, her words carrying a hint of seductive charm and tenderness. "And I am from the south, you praised the wrong poem..."
"This is not a poem I wrote; I merely learned it."
Lu Xian took out a large black cloak from his ring and handed it to her.
"Giving me clothes so quickly? You like it so much, don't you want to look at it for a while longer?" She blinked and teased.
Hmm?
Lu Xian raised his eyebrows and chuckled. "Interesting. This is the first time I've been teased by a woman. Have I met my match?"
"But Fire Charmer, I must remind you that constantly teasing others, especially a man you cannot defeat, may have serious consequences!"
"Man? Or boy? Boys are not my cup of teasing."
She ignored Lu Xian's threat, continuing to smile boldly and tease, reaching out to take the black cloak. With a graceful turn, the black cloak was already draped over her body, concealing all her beauty.
Beautiful people remain beautiful in any attire; even the large and plain black cloak could not hide her delicate and soft loveliness.
"You should be glad that you are in the chat group!"
"Otherwise, you would have been lying on the stone platform next to you."
Lu Xian rolled his eyes and retorted. It was the first time he had failed in teasing a woman and had been teased by the other party instead.
Lying on the stone platform?
Interesting!
Do you have the courage?
She smiled sweetly, stepped forward, swayed her hips, and extended her green jade fingers to hook the boy's chin, teasing him with her eyes. "Oh? You mean, you want to play with fire with me, your sister?"
