The love potion, also known as the “Zi Mu Gu” (Mother and Child Gu), should not be used rashly, and Lan Deng was well aware of that. So she casually lay on the bed, her expression hazy and ambiguous.

“Oh, Yao Yue,” she murmured.

It had to be said that the beauties in this era had much more charm than those in the modern world. Lan Deng had been pursuing Yao Yue for so many days that her heart was already starting to lose control.

With her hand pressed against her rapidly beating and irregular heart, Lan Deng’s face gradually revealed a determined smile.

“You can’t escape.”

No one she set her sights on could ever escape her web of affection. Just the thought of this fiery beauty being embraced by her in the future made the smile on Lan Deng’s lips deepen.

Xuanwu Kingdom was located in the northernmost part of the Boundless Continent, where it snowed year-round. Even on sunny days, it was still unbearably cold.

While martial artists could endure extreme heat and cold, for someone like Youyou, who was only half-hearted in her martial arts training, she could manipulate her internal energy casually during the day. But once she fell asleep, she became just like an ordinary person, sensitive to both cold and heat.

Therefore, Youyou, who used to sleep with Bai Ling, now considered Yao Yue as a source of warmth. She nestled and snuggled up against her, wishing to bury her entire self in Yao Yue’s embrace, leaving Yao Yue feeling dry-mouthed and with a rosy tint at the corner of her eyes.

Goodness, it’s truly tantalizing.

Feeling an unprecedented desire overtaking her, Yao Yue had the urge to bring the little person in her arms closer, and eat her up one bite at a time. Tightly clasping Youyou’s waist, she slowly began to undress the both of them. Bring them closer, one article of clothing at a time.

The sleeping girl frowned slightly at the loss of warmth, and, seeing this, Yao Yue activated her internal energy to heat up her body like a heater.

“So cute.”

Kissing the girl’s brows, Yao Yue stripped both of them down to their underclothes and untied the white cloth strips that bound the girl’s chest.

Without a trace of hesitation.

[Ding, target’s favorability +20, current favorability 40. Is this considered being seduced by beauty? It’s strange because the host’s face is clearly more attractive.]

In the system space, Xixi, who had a feline appearance, rested its chin on its paws and muttered to itself. Just as it was about to resume its observations, it was abruptly locked inside a small dark room.

Xixi: ….

What’s the task target doing, ah?! Hello?!

As Yao Yue feverishly gazed down at the little beauty in her arms, her face flushed as her breathing quickened and she felt her blood surge.

“Ahem.”

Immediately pulling the covers up, she wrapped the both of them snugly in the quilt and gazed up at the ceiling for a while before finally snapping back to reality. “What a nuisance.”

Yao Yue sighed lowly.

The influence of this young girl was truly immense. Ever since the moment they met at the gates of Xuanqi City, everything seemed to spiral out of her control.

Yao Yue lowered her head and glanced at the girl sleeping soundly in her arms. Suddenly, she leaned forward and angrily bit her chin. “You little vixen,” she muttered, a mix of anger and annoyance in her voice.

Originally, she had intended to seduce and tempt her, but the outcome turned out quite differently…

She unexpectedly fell for her trap.

Feeling a mixture of disbelief and delight, Yao Yue felt that if the object of her affection was her, then she was willing to go along with it.

With gentle and tender kisses, Yao Yue traced along the girl’s jawline, gradually moving upward. She nibbled on the girl’s lips, captivated by the soft and sweet sensation they offered.

Just as things were about to spiral out of control, Yao Yue used the last shred of her self-control to force herself to stop.

“Heavens, how can this feel so good?”

To her surprise, she found herself developing feelings of affection towards the young girl.

Her eyes glazed over, and for a moment, Yao Yue released a fierce killing intent.

After all, someone like her shouldn’t have any weaknesses or lose control. However, it was evident that the girl in her arms posed a significant danger to her.



Youyou, who narrowly escaped death, found herself sleeping unusually soundly. Since the Saint Lin technique was a cold-based cultivation method, no matter how boundless Bai Ling’s inner strength was, her body temperature couldn’t compare to Yao Yue, who practiced the Flame Art.

Slowly, Youyou opened her eyes.

However, the sight that met her eyes frightened her, prompting her to shut her eyes again.

“Ah, am I that terrifying?”

Yao Yue’s enchanting face broke into a bewitching smile. She swiftly pecked Youyou’s lips and nestled into her embrace, adopting a delicate posture.

“Young miss, you must treat this lady well. For you, this lady has sacrificed so much, disregarding everything just for you.”

Her intoxicating voice held a strange blend of seriousness and obsession that Youyou couldn’t decipher. As Yao Yue said this, her red lips trailed along Youyou’s collarbone, her eyes veiled with a thin mist.

Youyou: ….

What did she do?

Up until Yao Yue took her out to admire the night view of Xuanqi city, Youyou remained in a daze. She wanted to ask Yao Yue if she had done something to her, if she’d bullied her. However, when she thought of the clothes she was wearing, Youyou felt that it would be better not to ask.

She had a strange feeling Yao Yue’s answer would be earth-shattering.

“Young sir, I want to eat candied hawthorns.”

Yao Yue’s coquettishness brought Youyou’s mind back. She nodded hesitantly, her tone unusually uneasy, “Mm, I’ll go buy them.”

Due to an inexplicable sense of guilt, Youyou almost always complied with Yao Yue’s requests. In the end, Bai Ling couldn’t stand it any longer and coldly warned Yao Yue as Youyou went into a store to buy red bean cakes.

“Miss Yue, my young master is not your servant.”

This woman was truly despicable, treating the Saintess in such a manner.

Sensing the killing intent, Yao Yue turned her head slightly. With a frosty expression on her enchanting face, she replied, “Young sir is naturally not my servant. She* is my lover.”

(* The pronouns she/her, he/him, & it in Chinese (Mandarin) all sound the same when spoken, sowhile Yao Yue means she, what the others are hearing contextually, is he. Bc they don’t know Yao Yue figured out YY’s real gender.)

Seeing the sudden change in Bai Ling’s expression, Yao Yue curled her lips, forming a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. “I warn you all, young master belongs to me and can only be mine. If any of you dare to cross the line, there will be no mercy.”

“Who are you?”

Taken aback by Yao Yue’s imposing aura, Bai Gu questioned.

“Who am I?”

Yao Yue’s lips tilted up slightly as she looked at the handsome man proudly. “I am the young master’s wife, the woman she loves and cherishes the most!”

Bai Gu, Bai Ling: ….

They really want to kill her right now.

The tension between the trio didn’t involve Youyou, so when she returned from purchasing the red bean cakes, Yao Yue had already regained her radiant and enchanting smile. Bai Gu and Bai Ling didn’t expose her.

“Here you go.”

Youyou handed Yao Yue the red bean cakes, which were wrapped in oilpaper. She then strolled to the riverbank and looked to the sky.

The truth is, the ancient night market didn’t hold much interest for Youyou, who was accustomed to the modern vibrant cityscape. Rather, she was more captivated by the sparkling stars and the immense clarity of the night sky.

“Young sir?”

Standing by the riverside was a young man in a red robe. He had a tall and elegant figure, with clean eyebrows and eyes. His pair of black eyes seemed to carry countless stars, exuding gentleness and intoxication.

Gentle and captivating.

Unable to resist, Youyou called out to the young man.

Yao Yue’s brows furrowed slightly, particularly disliking this feeling. She hated how much she hated Youyou’s rapt expression when it wasn’t directed at herself. She loathed the vast distance between them, as though she could never touch her, never calm the desolate feeling in her heart.

“Young sir!”

Yao Yue’s tone grew more intense as her heart was in great turmoil. The red bean cake in her hand was nearly crushed by her tight grip.

“Hm?”

Turning abruptly to look at Yao Yue, Youyou’s eyes still carried a lingering gentleness and a hint of confusion. “What’s wrong? Is the red bean cake not to your liking?”

Youyou always got excited when the topic came to food. She sniffed and a displeased expression appeared on her face. “Actually, I don’t like eating red bean cake either. No, not just that, I don’t like sweet pastries generally. I much prefer spicy food, meat; I like chicken, duck, fish, and especially grilled meat. Also…”

Youyou rattled off a long list of her favorite foods, and Yao Yue let out a relieved sigh. She began discussing food preferences with Youyou.

Although Yao Yue had always enjoyed sweets, she easily forsook her own preferences in favor of Youyou’s.

She tossed the red bean cake to Bai Gu and didn’t try it again.

Because Youyou didn’t know where to go, they remained in Xuanqi City.

Yao Yue’s favorability towards Youyou climbed up to 50 but didn’t move after that. However, Youyou wasn’t too concerned about that because Xixi had mentioned that the task didn’t have a time limit.

She had plenty of time ahead of her.
