Three thousand years ago, Feng Ci had the fortune of seeing the demonic(魔) army use demon(妖) poison to strength itself.
The Mo(魔) clan and Yao(妖) clan both had strong desires. After using demon(妖) poison, their strength increased exponentially. They craved blood and murder, and became extremely aroused. When they became excited, some even copulated on the spot.
Because he has seen way too much of this in the past, Feng Ci has always snorted disdainfully at this.
He would have never imagined that one day, he’d also land in such a situation.
Just now when he fell from the skies, he more or less received a bit of internal damage. Feng Ci still felt a dull ache in his chest and couldn’t properly use force with his four limbs. Wrapped up in the black snake’s thick sturdy body, even breathing seemed difficult.
“Cough…… Pei QianYue……” Feng Ci tugged at the snake body in front of his chest and called out quietly: “I don’t feel too good……”
The black snake’s slowly spiraling body suddenly stopped moving.
Immediately afterwards, it raised its head. The body part pressing down on Feng Ci’s chest loosened. Fresh air finally entered Feng Ci’s body again.
His breathing became smooth and unhindered. However, he was still unable to move.
The several meters long snake practically restrained all of his limbs. Behind him, that thing poking him moved slightly, rubbing slowly against his waist.
The serpent’s tail wasn’t idle either. It circled around him, starting at the ankles.
The suggestion and implication here was extremely clear.
Actually, Feng Ci has never experienced anything like this before.
It’s not that he didn’t understand it, nor because he was deliberately cultivating a pure, desireless path of Dao; but rather, he just wasn’t interested.
The lifespan of mortals was short and limited. They experienced love and desires vigorously and intensely to add color and excitement to their lives. However, Feng Ci couldn’t feel this kind of excitement. The only thing he saw was patience that whittles away continuously under the passage of time, and passion that gradually changes into a pool of stagnant water.
During those years of traveling through the Sumeru Worlds, he had encountered plenty of people who expressed interest towards him, but whenever that happened, he’d end it immediately.
Since he knew that everything was destined to wither away, there’s no need to anticipate the beginning, much less desire for a taste of the experience.
Not to mention, what many people were interested in, was nothing more than the physical body that he had meticulously selected to reside in.
Therefore, it may sound a bit embarrassing to say it, but the first time he’s been touched in such a suggestive manner, was actually at this very moment in time, after living for over 3000 years.
By a snake.
That snake continued to crawl around on his body, encircling him. The warm and smooth texture of the snake’s tail was magnified by Feng Ci’s senses endlessly. Ears burning, Feng Ci reached out and pushed it. However, he was unsuccessful. His fingertips were so weak, they trembled.
His head also became somewhat muddled and dazed. After pushing a few times, he finally realized this didn’t seem to be a result of his injuries.
The crater, which had been created from the heavy impact of the two people’s fall, had unknowingly become enclosed in a thick, sweet fragrance.
Feng Ci: “……”
He has heard that when the serpent clan mated, they actively secreted a kind of pheromone to arouse their partner.
It wasn’t really thinking about……
Feng Ci swore internally, but it was hard to prevent that aroma from entering his nose and seeping into his skin. It was also hard to stop the temperature within his body from rising gradually. Even the slight breeze caused him to shudder.
With a tearing sound, Feng Ci heard the snake rip apart his robes.
This was truly an extremely unfamiliar experience for Feng Ci. He felt like his entire body was submerged in the warm current of a hot spring. That water flowed over his body, causing a numbing tingle to crawl up the path of his spine and reach the back of his head.
Very strange, but not completely unbearable.
In fact, it even felt…… pretty enjoyable.
Perhaps because he had inhaled too much of the pheromone, Feng Ci couldn’t move his body. His heavy, muddled head actually felt a vague hint of curiosity towards what’s to come. He never experienced it before and didn’t know if this really felt as enjoyable as people say.
Feng Ci unconsciously relaxed his body and focused his attention completely on the movement of the snake’s tail.
The snake’s tail crawled over slowly. Yet right when it was about to touch the place where it’s most pleasurable, it suddenly withdrew again.
Feng Ci: “?”
Why wasn’t it continuing?
He turned his head. However, the size of the black snake had become too big. The only thing he could see was the serpent’s thick, pitch-black body, nothing else. Nevertheless, he could clearly feel the snake’s tail retracting completely. But it still didn’t release him and only continued to hold him down and prevent him from moving.

He has never experienced something like this in 3000 years. Today, on a rare occasion, he became somewhat interested because of that pheromone. Yet not only did he fail to experience the full pleasure, on the contrary, he was being used as a tool.

The huge black serpent flew away and landed inside the coldwater pool with a splash.
Water splashed in all directions.
Mount Yao, QingJing Sect.
It was already deep into the night. Today however, the usually tranquil sect was extraordinarily lively. A clamorous and boisterous crowd filled the Main Hall.
At the center of the Main Hall, laid a corpse.
The old man’s hair and beard were completely white. His face still preserved the expression of terror at the moment of his death. His chest was pierced through, opening a big hole while his blood flowed out completely.
“Sect Leader Wen, you must deliver justice for the DanYang Sect!” The speaker was a middle-aged man wearing purple. His expression was sorrowful and indignant, his voice mournful: “Sect Leader Jue Hui has never committed any evil in his life. Upon learning that the Endless Valley has encountered danger, he immediately led his disciples over to provide assistance. His life shouldn’t have ended here!”
Crouching next to the dead body, Wen HuaiYu raised his hand and gently closed the old man’s wide opened eyes. Then he pulled a white cloth over the corpse and covered it well.
“He has truly died under the hands of a snake demon(妖).” Wen HuaiYu said quietly.
“Is there any doubt!” A young man holding a sword also spoke up: “I saw City Master Pei transform into a huge python with my own eyes and kill Sect Leader Jue Hui. Also these injuries that I have……” The more he spoke, the more panicked he became. With a cry of pain, he gripped his bandaged arm: “My injuries were caused by him as well!”
“And me!” “Me as well!”
……
The crowd clamored all at once. Wen HuaiYu got up. His eyes swept over everyone who was present, one at a time.
“You guys are telling me……” Wen HuaiYu said coolly: “The Endless Valley sent you guys messenger birds, requesting aid. You guys went forth to assist but were trapped inside the Great Mountain Seal. Then the Great Mountain Seal suddenly vanished. You guys hastily entered the mountains, but saw the entire Endless Valley sect and their disciples exterminated. City Master Pei’s thick demonic(妖) energy was clearly visible everywhere inside the valley.”
“Yes.” That purple robed man said: “There were eight cultivation sects present. Everyone saw it. Sect Leader Jue Hui was attempting to stop City Master Pei from leaving. That’s why City Master Pei suddenly went crazy and……”
In this battle at the Endless Valley, besides LangFeng City, there were eight other cultivation sects present. There were over a hundred disciples. Amongst them, around a dozen people received heavy injuries. Around 80 people had light injuries. One person lost his life.
“Sect Leader Wen, are you going to just watch and do nothing?!”
Wen HuaiYu stood inside the hall with one hand behind his back. He lowered his eyes slightly: “I don’t know what everyone is implying……”
“Lay siege to LangFeng City. Force them to hand over Pei QianYue so he can repay Sect Leader Jue Hui. A life for a life!”
When the purple robed man said these words, he attracted a lot of echoes of agreement.
Wen HuaiYu: “HuaiYu understands everyone’s wishes, but City Master Pei is the Leader of the Immortal Alliance after all. LangFeng City is also currently the #1 Sect of the cultivation world, and the head of the Six Sects. I need to discuss what to do next with the other four sects first.”
“But—”
“Sect Leader Yin, I know that your LuoHua Sect has a close relationship with DanYang Sect. However, before the truth is ascertained, I cannot become enemies with City Master Pei just based on your one-sided statement alone. It’s not only me. Of all the sects present, which of you have the courage and guts to oppose LangFeng City right now?”
“This……”
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, no longer saying anything.
Wen HuaiYu returned to the head seat in the front and sat down. He said slowly: “However, everyone can rest assured. HuaiYu naturally won’t allow everyone to suffer injuries and mistreatment in vain. If it’s really necessary, even if QingJing Sect is the only sect to step forth willingly amongst the Six Sects, I will still lead everyone to demand an explanation from LangFeng City.”
The crowd left the Main Hall one by one. Sect Leader Jue Hui’s corpse was also carried away. Wen HuaiYu dismissed his attendants and casted a spell. Four glowing mirrors appeared within the Main Hall.

“Everyone heard, right?” Wen HuaiYu asked calmly.
Inside the first glowing mirror, Elder Cheng Chao sat in front of the mirror and said righteously: “I told you guys that Pei QianYue is nothing good. Now look, I didn’t say anything wrong, right?!”
No one replied. The Main Hall was completely silent.
Wen HuaiYu sighed and asked assertively: “Pavilion Master YuChi, what do you think? …… Pavilion Master YuChi?”
There wasn’t even anyone in the second glowing mirror.
After Wen HuaiYu called out a few times, finally someone ran in front of the mirror in a hurry: “Asking me? Who cares what I think, you guys can do whatever you want. I’m in the middle of enchanting this machinery. If there’s nothing important, don’t bother me!”
Wen HuaiYu: “……”
He then turned to the third glowing mirror: “What about Valley Master Xiao?”
The Valley Master of the Shaman Valley, Xiao Guo, wore a black cheongsam. A half-mask covered part of his face. Holding a pipe in his hand, he inhaled lazily and said: “The Shaman Valley is located remotely. We probably can’t help with things occurring in the Central Plains. However, if you guys really want to overthrow LangFeng City, please remember to leave Pei QianYue’s corpse to me.”
“…… A snake demon(妖) with 3000 years of cultivation. If his serpent skin can be used in medicine, it must be very effective.”
Wen HuaiYu: “……”
He pinched his brows and continued, looking towards the fourth mirror.
There was also no one there.
Noticing his gaze, Xiao Guo explained: “Xiao Jiu is already asleep. You guys know this. He goes to sleep early everyday, nothing can wake him.”
Wen HuaiYu fell silent. On the contrary, Elder Cheng Chao was the one who couldn’t hold back: “He sleeps 7-8 hours everyday anyways. What’s wrong with sleeping late for one day? Such a major event has occurred in the cultivation world, yet he’s still so lazy and indolent. It’s no wonder ZiZhu Docks failed to accept any disciples again this year!”
“Elder Cheng Chao, you……” Wen HuaiYu attempted to interrupt.
“You can’t say that.” Xiao Guo put down the pipe, the corners of his lips curving upwards slightly. His exposed eyes under the mask, however, didn’t show any amusement: “If you must talk about absenteeism, the Sect Leader of LingXiao Gates has also failed to appear in public for quite a while. Is this how he shows concern towards the matters of the cultivation world?”
Cheng Chao said angrily: “My Sect Leader-Shixiong is in secluded cultivation!”
“Stop arguing, you guys.” Wen HuaiYu interrupted: “I contacted everyone to discuss how we should deal with this matter. Pei QianYue’s whereabout is currently unknown. The emotions of the various Immortal Alliance sects are very intense and explosive. If we don’t issue a response, there will be chaos sooner or later.”
“‘Lead everyone to demand an explanation from LangFeng City’, isn’t this what you said just now?”
Wen HuaiYu: “In other words, the Shaman Valley doesn’t plan to participate?”
“A fight between immortals like you guys, why involve small sects like mine.” Xiao Guo smiled briefly and said: “It’s getting late. I’m also going to sleep. Talk later.”
After saying this, the light of the third glowing mirror extinguished. It vanished from the Main Hall.
After a little while, the fourth glowing mirror also extinguished.
Wen HuaiYu: “…….”
As for the second glowing mirror… After YuChi Chu appeared briefly just now, it turned blank and remained so. With a complicated expression. Wen HuaiYu looked at it for a long time before putting it away.
In the Main Hall, only he and Elder Cheng Chao remained.
A moment later, Wen HuaiYu said coolly: “Elder Cheng Chao, you really have quite the methods.”
Cheng Chao laughed deviously: “I have to thank Sect Leader Wen for coming up with the plan to shift the blame onto Pei QianYue.”
Wen HuaiYu closed his eyes and sighed: “I only instructed you to activate the Great Mountain Seal of the Endless Valley and frame Pei QianYue for the destruction of cultivation sects, thus giving the different sects a reason to condemn him. Who told you to poison him and cause so many casualties?”
“If it’s not done like this, how can we create a public outrage?” Cheng Chao was unconcerned: “Do you think those sects really care that cultivation sects are being exterminated out there? They practically wish for more sects within the cultivation world to disband or get destroyed. This way, there’s less sects fighting them for spiritual deposits, resources, and disciples.”
“……A day without the blade hanging over their own heads means another day without worries.”
Wen HuaiYu: “You still shouldn’t have exploited Sect Leader Jue Hui…”
“Jue Hui? It’s not my fault he’s stupid.” Cheng Chao said: “I only told him, as long as the plan is successful and LingXiao Gates controls the Immortal Alliance, I can share with him some of the mystic texts left behind by Grandmaster QianQiu. Who would have thought he’d actually believe me. He even went ahead and provoked Pei QianYue.”
Cheng Chao chuckled quietly: “He merely died of his own greed, that’s all.”
“If you must say it like this, aren’t you and I also acting on our own greed?”
Cheng Chao’s expression changed slightly. He said coldly: “Sect Leader Wen, it’s already reached this point. You’re not regretting it, right? Or are you saying, you’re actually a coward who’s afraid of death; you don’t have the guts to become enemies with LangFeng City?”
“If I didn’t have the guts, I wouldn’t be here.” Wen HuaiYu sat properly within the Main Hall. The spirit energy on the glowing mirror swayed faintly, leaving rippling shadows on his face. He exhaled softly and said calmly: “Tomorrow I will convene the various sects and organize a rebel army…… to subdue LangFeng City.”
Under the waterfall, next to the coldwater pool.
After pushing this disrespectful bastard into the water, Feng Ci also followed into the water to calm down.
If he were inside his real body, the black snake’s pheromones definitely wouldn’t have affected him. But things are different right now. His current physical body was only a teenager at the prime of his youth, full of energy and vigorous. Feng Ci soaked for almost four full hours before finally calming down.
As for the black snake, it was knocked directly unconscious from the force of Feng Ci’s kick and slept peacefully inside the water for four full hours.
After four hours, the water current inside the coldwater pool changed slightly. Feng Ci opened his eyes and saw a big serpent head floating out of the water. It slowly swam to the side of the pool and transformed back into human form.
Under the water, a shiny black tail, which had turned much smaller, flashed by.
The poison has been dissolving gradually. Once it dissolved completely, he’d return to normal.
Pei QianYue laid on the edge of the coldwater pool, motionless, like he has yet to wake up.
He still wore the black robes he had on previously, his entire body drenched from head to toe. The black silk that covered his eyes had disappeared to who knows where. His hair fell downwards, spreading out in the water.
He had transformed right next to Feng Ci. A strand of hair floated in front of Feng Ci, washed over by the current of the water.
Again and again, it fluttered in front of him.
Bored and listless, Feng Ci grabbed that strand of hair and played with it in his hands.
Pei QianYue was really born very beautiful. Especially when he’s not wearing the black ribbon, his eyelashes were thick like feathers, thin and long, each strand distinctive. It’s rare to see him so quiet and peaceful. Therefore Feng Ci didn’t disturb him. After he had enough playing with the other’s hair, he leaned against the side of the coldwater pool and started counting Pei QianYue’s eyelashes for fun.
—Evident of Feng Ci’s boredom all of these years, he could practically use anything to pass the time.
They spent an entire night inside this coldwater pool. After the haze over the horizons dissipated, the first rays of the morning sun broke through the clouds.
The sunlight shone into this deep valley pond. With a low groan, Pei QianYue suddenly furrowed his brows in discomfort.
Feng Ci was surprised. He raised his head and swept a glance at the skies. Lifting his wet hand, he covered Pei QianYue’s eyes.
Only then did the other calm down.
Photophobia?
No wonder the lights inside his room were rarely lit and normally, regardless of day or night, he always had his eyes covered with black silk.
Originally, Feng Ci thought it was because he didn’t want others to see his ruined eyes.
Feng Ci pondered for a moment. Holding his one hand in place over Pei QianYue’s eyes, he reached into the water with his other hand and tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes.
The disciple uniforms of LangFeng City were magic garments made of special materials. Other than protecting the body, it can also resist some magic spells. It was extremely tough and durable. Unfortunately, this disciple’s uniform had already been ripped by the hands of the City Master himself last night, which destroyed the enchantment on it. Now, it was no different than an ordinary piece of garment.
Feng Ci didn’t feel bad at all and directly tore off a piece. Folding it into a long strip, he used it to cover Pei QianYue’s eyes.
Leaning forward, he helped tie the piece of cloth behind Pei QianYue’s head. Then he lowered his gaze and cupped the other’s face to carefully help him make adjustments.
Ensuring that not even a strand of light can pass through.
This position was very close to Pei QianYue. Water dripped down from his bangs and landed on Pei QianYue’s face. Then it slowly slid down Pei QianYue’s cheek.
Looking extremely like a teardrop.
Under the waterfall, the water vapors permeated the air. Reflecting the sunlight, that trail of water glimmered with a faint light. Feng Ci lowered his head and gazed at it for a while. With a small movement from his thumb, he wiped it away gently for Pei QianYue.
Something almost seemed to be moving under the water. Feng Ci glanced at it from the edge of his eyes and saw the serpent tail.
The shiny black serpent tail was submerged under the water. The tip of the tail was unconsciously trembling softly. Feng Ci withdrew his gaze. Pei QianYue’s face continued to look expressionless, tranquil and serene, clearly appearing like he was still deeply asleep.
Feng Ci: “……”
Pretending to be asleep?
Feng Ci sneered internally and came up with a mischievous idea. He lowered his head and leaned close to the other’s ear. With a quiet yet clear voice, he said: “Shizun, are you still asleep? If you don’t wake up soon, I’m going to kiss you.”
When Pei QianYue was in the coma and mentally delirious, it’s not like he didn’t take advantage of Feng Ci plenty of times anyways.
Pei QianYue still remained motionless, but Feng Ci could see clearly, a close up of the other’s ears slowly turning red.
