Chapter 183 - The Fragrance of the Ye Clan Head

Xun Danxin erupted instantly, subduing Fang Xiang.

Unperturbed, Fang Xiang seized the moment to recline on the jade mat, propping herself against the pillow. She spoke lazily, “Patriarch Xun, is this how you treat someone who has aided you? It's truly chilling to the bone...”

“Aid?” Xun Danxin scoffed, her anger turning to amusement. She found it ludicrous. “To treat me with such disrespect...”

Before she could finish, Fang Xiang interjected with a frigid smile, “Disrespect? Isn't this the most fitting course of action?”

Xun Danxin seethed with anger at being deceived into consuming that unknown substance. “Fitting? Seeing you consume it so comfortably, it seems Xia Shui has ensnared your mind with some method. The esteemed Lord of Night's Fall Sword City stooping to such despicable acts. Xia Shui truly possesses cunning. Initially, I thought he was sentimental, but I didn't anticipate such depravity!”

Uncertain if it was psychological, she sensed something awry with her mouth. Yet, in actuality, upon ingestion, it transformed into pure Yang energy, oddly comforting... Though, the Master of the Black Yin Clan would never acknowledge this.

She could only perceive it as utterly despicable, unable even to expel it!

Before Fang Xiang could retort, Xun Yimu grew anxious, “Mother, this isn't his fault. It's me and City Lord Fang who have willingly embraced him...”

Xun Danxin's ire escalated, turning to her daughter with sorrow and anger, “You've disappointed me!”

Xun Yimu had always been submissive before her mother. When scolded, she instinctively wept, rendered speechless by tears.

Yet this time, she summoned courage to whisper, “He was unaware.”

“You, you're unfilial...” Xun Danxin's anger rendered her speechless.

She could console herself that it was Xia Shui's audacity. He abducted her daughter and deceived her. Surely, this child wasn't complicit.

The deception naturally involved City Lord Fang, manipulated by Xia Shui. With the guile of this captivating woman, deceiving Xun Yimu was effortless, wasn't it?

And now, she claimed Xia Shui was unaware.

Did this imply that regardless of their innocent daughter or the cunning Fang Xiang, they were willing to degrade themselves?!

Xun Danxin was subdued by the Night's Fall Sword City Lord, her dark hair disheveled across the mat. She tried to appear threatening but her fear was evident as she exclaimed, “You, you mustn’t... Yimu, how could you treat your mother this way?”

Her face showed clear signs of distress.

Xun Yimu, holding a porcelain bottle, approached Xun Danxin with a look of shame and embarrassment, yet she resolutely said, “Mother, I had no other option... I really love him. If it weren’t for this, you and the family elders... You would all drive us apart.”

Xun Danxin accused, “Xun Yimu! You are being unfilial!”

Fang Xiang gently caressed the Profound Yin Family Head's lovely face, her smile cunning and her eyes, dark as ink, unreadable.

“Cough, cough, cough...”

The Profound Yin Family Head, feeling deeply humiliated and angry, attempted to expel the Yang energy that had infiltrated her body, to no avail. She then realized that her Ninth Order cultivation during the Physical Integration Period had unexpectedly reached its zenith.

A half-step away from tribulation!

Xun Danxin, looking weary and confused, suddenly paused. Without thinking, she licked the remaining ointment from the corner of her mouth.

The pure Yang energy seamlessly integrated with her innate Yin energy, flowing smoothly into her Dantian and effortlessly converting into Spiritual Energy.

This...

The expression of the Xuan Yin Family Patriarch abruptly became very intriguing.

She had anticipated that the Yang energy might enhance her cultivation, but the magnitude of its effect was beyond her expectations. Such a small amount had wrought significant changes.

Even the Medicinal Pills usually had minimal impact on someone at the Physical Integration Period. Typically, a cultivator might seclude themselves for centuries without achieving any breakthrough...

But now, with another bottle, could he possibly overcome his tribulation?

Xun Danxin's eyes were instinctively drawn to the now empty bottle.

The Profound Yang Bead, a legacy passed down within the Profound Yin Family, was, in essence, merely returning to its rightful holder...
