Chapter 576: Rolling Tides! A Scandalous Affair!

Chapter 576: Rolling Tides! A Scandalous Affair!

Yun Xiao looked again at the enchanting woman before him, rendered speechless.

How could she be so bold and straightforward?

Was it because of his body, that of the Creator Immortal, inherently alluring and awakening a primal desire within her?

At that moment, Cao Shuo bit her lip softly, her eyes sultry slits of allure, her soft hands resting on Yun Xiao’s shoulders, her gaze screaming just two words!

“No way.” Yun Xiao steadied his heart, resisting the charm of the devil, and said, “Without genuine feelings, all this means nothing.”

Hearing this, the hopeful expression on Cao Shuo's face froze, and the seductive look in her eyes quickly morphed into violent violet lightning, while the two small snakes perched on her ears stared at Yun Xiao and cursed.

“You foolish brat, so ungrateful!”

“Kill him!”

Their ferocious demeanor revealed that they, along with Cao Shuo, were not of one body but rather sentient demons.

Being able to openly keep such demons in the Celestial Court was a feat in itself.

At this moment, Cao Shuo, gazing at the attractive yet stubborn young man before her, was frustrated and speechless.

“I’m in no hurry, you go and gather some money. Whenever you’re ready, come here.” As Cao Shuo said this, she pinched Yun Xiao’s cheek, chuckling, “Of course, I’m seldom here.”

This meant that Yun Xiao’s plan to settle the matter of forming a Sword Prison tonight was ruined.

“What are you hesitating for? You get to enjoy yourself and finally form a Sword Prison! That's killing two birds with one stone,” Blue Star muttered under his breath.

“Auntie is too fierce; he’s chickened out,” Red Moon sighed.

But this was a matter of dignity...

An encounter with genuine feelings was acceptable, but not force nor making it a transaction.

After all, in matters of men and women, Yun Xiao was traditional and assertive.

“If there’s nothing else, I should be going.” Yun Xiao looked at her hands clasped around his neck.

Cao Shuo gazed back at him forlornly and sighed, “Is it so hard to make you bow?”

“As hard as reaching the blue skies,” Yun Xiao confidently replied.

“I don’t believe it!”

Suddenly, Cao Shuo smirked slyly.

Before Yun Xiao could react, her arms tightened around his neck, forcefully pulling his head down into her embrace.

“Damn!” Yun Xiao’s world went white, then black, his face completely smothered.

“What the heck is this?” He felt like he was forcibly dunked into a basin, struggling for breath.

Cao Shuo's power as a Rank 4 Heavenly Officer was immense, and her hands, like two giant serpents, coiled around Yun Xiao, rendering the young man utterly helpless, his face a portrait of tender emotion. He was immobilized, as if drowning, and not just anywhere, but in the vast, unforgiving sea.

With a light huff, she held Yun Xiao and fell backward in a smooth motion.

THUD! The impact reverberated across his face.

To onlookers, their figures entwined suggested a fire ready to blaze.

Yun Xiao's mind was still a blur, but Cao Shuo abruptly stopped, pushed him away, and whispered, “Someone’s coming!”

“Someone?”

“How utterly revolting!”

For the Celestial Court, a place of strict decorum, this was a ridiculous scandal.

All present were children of high officials of the Thunder Department, raised on virtues of purity, each one seemingly a paragon.

With their upbringing, this scene prompted them to feel physically ill.

“Truly a scandal for the Thunder Department.”

“This is a major disgrace!”

“Celestial beings acting like beasts in heat, what a spectacle.”

“It’s been said that Thunder Emissary Cao lacks discretion, rumored to have countless male proteges and lovers. Today, it seems those rumors are true.”

The murmurs started softly but soon grew into loud expressions of disdain.

“Where is this happening?”

Heads turned in unison, all eyes on the Sword Suppression Gate.

"They might still be engaged in that scandalous aunt-nephew affair!"

"Let's go catch them in the act!"

"Bring several Projection Orbs, record everything for repeated observation."

"What a joke, can Lu Yao, that pretty boy, withstand Cao Shuo's ferocious onslaught?"

In an instant, hundreds of genius Arbiters set down their wine glasses, artwork, and fine dishes, heading toward the Sword Gate.

Meanwhile, the passionate indiscretions of Thunder Emissary Cao and her new nephew became the central scandal at the Azure Sky Banquet, reverberating through the Thunder Department like thunderous ripples.

In the Sword Suppression Hall, Yun Xiao calmly regarded the breathtaking beauty before him.

"You knew someone was coming, yet you provoked this situation. Are you using me as a shield?" Yun Xiao said, his tone unfriendly.

"You're overthinking it. I just wanted you, my dear nephew, to appreciate what your aunt has to offer," Cao Shuo replied with a coquettish laugh.

"I have no power, no status, no strength, yet you use me, leading to only one outcome—my destruction," Yun Xiao's voice grew colder.

Hearing this, Cao Shuo pursed her lips, "Enough of your complaints. I've covered the 30,000 True Immortal Jades for you, now head to the Sword Suppression Gate!"

"I really don't understand. With your status, who would you need to shield yourself from?" Yun Xiao shook his head.

"It's all your wild imagination," Cao Shuo retorted.

"I understand now," Yun Xiao looked deeply at Cao Shuo, "You don't care about my life or death. You just think I'm useful. If I can't stop the arrow you fear, my destruction wouldn't be your loss."

Impatient, Cao Shuo pointed towards the door. "Take your benefits and get out."

Yun Xiao could hear some commotion outside. He knew Bai Ling'er would undoubtedly spread the word.

This would only worsen Yun Xiao's already shaky reputation.

"Cao Shuo, you will regret this," Yun Xiao said, giving her a long, penetrating look before turning to leave.

"Whatever." Cao Shuo rolled her eyes, clearly not taking him seriously.
