Tang Dou felt a wave of panic wash over him at the sight before him.
Yet, calmness was essential right now.
He kept his eyes locked on every single movement of the woman!!
Desperate to find an opening.
Just as the woman was about to succeed, Tang Dou could restrain himself no longer.
With a sudden, violent kick, he smashed the front door wide open!!
"Crash."
The wooden door instantly shattered into pieces.
Tang Dou rushed into the room, his gaze fixed on the woman.
The moment he kicked the door open, he had already drawn the longsword in his hand, its tip pointing straight ahead.
"Stop right there! Come at me instead!!" Tang Dou shouted sternly.
Startled by Tang Dou's abrupt appearance, the woman trembled all over and scrambled to her feet, quickly picking up the clothes from the floor.
In her panic, she could only clutch them tightly around herself.
Covering her chest.
Her chest heaved violently from the fright, the fabric tightening and loosening in rhythm.
Her eyes widened, her pretty face flushed with shame and anger.
She crossed her arms tightly over her chest, her shoulders twitching and shrinking in panic.
Her entire delicate body was trembling slightly!
"Little thief, how dare you ruin my plans! You're courting death!!"
The woman let out a sharp cry, her slender waist swaying as she instantly appeared right in front of Tang Dou, her palm lashing out fiercely.
A powerful surge of true qi rushed toward Tang Dou.
Fraught with towering fury!!
Tang Dou's heart skipped a beat as he realized this woman possessed the cultivation of the Qi Condensation Peak.
Ah, well...
It seemed he couldn't beat her!
This move felt a bit too impulsive, didn't it, buddy?
What now?
Thoughts raced wildly through Tang Dou's mind.
He shifted his body slightly, slipping out of the range of the true qi attack like a nimble fish.
Right after that—
Tang Dou hurriedly scrambled backward, dodging the woman's attacks while letting out a string of panicked cries.
"Miss, why be so furious?"
"Perhaps there's simply a misunderstanding between us. Why don't we sit down?"
"And have a calm, reasonable chat?"
The woman was amused to laughter!!
"A chat? Hmph, what on earth is there for us to talk about?"
Before her voice even faded—
Her figure flickered like a ghost once more, raising her right palm amidst a sharp whistling wind.
She slammed it fiercely toward Tang Dou's face!
The woman's palm wind was already upon him.
Tang Dou twisted his waist, rolling sideways as he shouted anxiously.
"Such a breathtakingly beautiful lady—if you get angry, it would truly be a loss for all men under heaven."
As he spoke—
He tiptoed lightly, flying backward out of the house.
The woman shadowed his every move, unleashing another palm strike straight at Tang Dou's chest.
"Miss, look how gorgeous the moonlight is!"
"Matched with a fairy-like visage such as yours."
"It's simply an earthly masterpiece!!"
Swayed by Tang Dou's words, the woman hesitated for a split second, glancing up at the moon.
A golden opportunity—!!
Spotting his chance, Tang Dou leaped forward fiercely.
The longsword in his hand pierced the air like a flash of lightning, aiming straight for the woman's throat.
The woman turned pale with fright, never expecting Tang Dou to launch a sneak attack right in the middle of talking.
She hastily sidestepped to dodge.
Yet she was a step too slow, and the tip of the longsword sank deeply into her left shoulder.
Blood stained the front of her robe.
The woman's eyes widened instantly, her delicate body trembling faintly.
"Could you...?"
"Could you show some mercy!"
"I swear, I will never touch that evil cultivation method ever again."
Gazing at the slightly flustered, delicate face before him, ripples stirred within Tang Dou's heart.
With a tearful choke in her voice, the woman continued.
"Besides, I am willing right now to..."
"Do anything to make up for it!!"
"Let me teach you a dance that can aid your cultivation first, what do you say?"
Tang Dou fell silent, weighing his options.
"Puff-puff!"
The woman chuckled softly, taking the initiative to step forward and hook her arm through Tang Dou's, leading him deep into the forest...
Under the moonlight, her retreating figure appeared exceptionally alluring.
Enticed by this inexplicable charm, Tang Dou found himself instinctively drawing closer.
The woman giggled softly, gently taking his hand.
"You big bad wolf, the dance I'm going to teach you is quite special."
"You must remember, while it can aid your cultivation, it's easy to lose yourself in it."
Tang Dou nodded, feeling a stirring of anticipation.
"Put your hand on my waist. Yes, just like that! Keep up with my rhythm and watch your feet."
"Hmph! Stop wandering with your hands."
Guided by the woman's patient instruction, their movements grew increasingly synchronized.
Time slowly drifted by...
Both became completely immersed in the rhythm of the dance.
"Ah! You big bad wolf, where are you putting your hands?"
The woman snapped back to her senses, crying out in shy reproach.
Tang Dou abruptly came to his senses, offering an embarrassed laugh as he pulled back his wandering paws.
"I'm sorry, my hands have a mind of their own."
"Hmph! Little pervert, how does it feel?"
"Very... very good."
"Hmph! Be serious, let's keep going."
With a soft, coquettish hmph, the woman once again threw herself into guiding the dance.
An indescribable, ambiguous atmosphere permeated the air.
Tang Dou's heartbeat gradually accelerated, and his breathing grew ragged.
His gaze locked onto the woman's fair, fragrant shoulders, his hands seeming to move of their own accord.
They slid slowly down along those soft, graceful curves!
The woman's skin appeared even more delicate under the moonlight, leaving Tang Dou utterly intoxicated.
"Uh, you big bad wolf, your hands... your hands are misbehaving again," the woman suddenly scolded playfully.
Hearing this, Tang Dou didn't stop; instead, his gaze grew even more burning!
His eyes turned so red...
Resembling a beast in heat!!
A flash of panic crossed the woman's eyes.
Tang Dou's gaze was so scorching hot!
It made her suspect...
That if she rejected him right now, he would probably snap and resort to murder!
Specifically, the kind where he ravages you first and kills you after!!
She let out an inner sigh of resignation and slowly closed her eyes.
"Mm-hm!"
A soft moan broke the silence of the night.
The woman's delicate sigh acted like a signal!
Tang Dou leaned down, gently pressing his lips against the woman's vibrant, alluring mouth.
The woman's lips were warm and soft!
Plunging Tang Dou into what felt like a dream.
He kissed her deeply, as if pouring every ounce of emotion into the embrace.
They held each other tightly, their heartbeats resonating as one.
Their emotions warmed in silence, growing ardent and pure.
The occasional cry of a night bird echoed through the forest, unable to mask their deep passion.
However—
Just as this emotion was about to break through its restraints and push toward a deeper realm, the woman gently pushed him away.
A hint of shyness in her eyes, she said with firm resolve.
"No!"
"Hmph, for now, this is all you get."
Tang Dou was slightly stunned, but quickly understood the woman's intentions.
Immediately after—
The two walked out of the forest side by side, leaving behind only the faint panting and lingering warmth in the breeze.
Her face flushed with shyness, the woman shot Tang Dou a glare with her beautiful eyes before turning to leave.
Tang Dou said nothing more.
He too turned away, quickly vanishing into the night.
Upon returning to the sect.
He gave a detailed report on the progress of his mission.
With the report concluded, his heart bolted like a wild horse, no longer able to suppress his longing for Yun Mengli.
After all—
The wicked fire stirred up by the woman in Wangu Village felt like a primordial force on the brink of erupting.
It was completely uncontainable anymore!!
Arriving before Yun Mengli's Cave Abode, he eagerly sent a voice transmission inside.
Before long, the stone door slowly opened.
Yun Mengli came into view, clad in a light, elegant gauze dress, her steps graceful.
"Little brat."
"Why are you only returning now?"
"I thought you'd completely forgotten all about me."
Tang Dou offered an apologetic smile.
"Senior Sister, didn't I just finish executing a mission?"
"And rushed right back to see you."
"You've been on my mind the whole time, how could I ever forget?"
Amidst his words—
He stepped forward and gently took her slender, jade-white hand.
Pouting in a show of petty grievance, Yun Mengli turned and walked into the bedchamber.
Tang Dou carefully supported her delicate figure as they approached the bed together.
"Senior Sister, let's seize the time to cultivate!"
Glancing at him sideways, Yun Mengli replied flatly.
"Hmph! You kept me waiting for so long, I'm in no mood right now!"
At those words, Tang Dou felt his heart turn ice-cold.
He hurriedly set to work massaging her shoulders and pounding her legs, showering her with cajoling flattery.
"Senior Sister, does that feel good? Is the pressure alright?"
Lying lazily on her side with narrowed eyes, Yun Mengli let out a cozy, contented moan.
"Ah, mm-hm! Little brat, harder, that feels wonderful."
Sitting right behind her, Tang Dou worked his hands rapidly.
"Senior Sister, how does this feel now!"
"Uh... keep that exact pressure, a little to the left."
"You got it—!"
