Chapter 3614: The Honeytrap
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Duan Ling Tian basked in the sun with his eyes half-closed as he was fed grapes. After a moment, he asked lazily, “Did you say you’re both great-granddaughters of the Cloudy Morning Sect’s elders?”
“That’s right.” The girl who was massaging Duan Ling Tian’s shoulders nodded. “Young Master Duan, I’m Liu He Hua, the great-granddaughter of the third elder of the Cloudy Morning Sect.”
“Young Master Duan, I’m Yuan Meng, the great-granddaughter of the seventh elder of the Cloudy Morning Sect.”
Duan Ling Tian felt slightly speechless when he heard the two women’s replies. “You’re the direct descendants of the sect’s elders, and yet, they arranged for you to work like attendants here? Is this your ancestors’ way of letting you experience the hardship of life?”
“Young Master Duan, Little Meng and I only arrived recently. We were specially arranged to serve you,” Liu He Hua said. She was a pretty girl who looked to be around 15 or 16 years old. When she smiled, two cute dimples would appear on her cheeks, making her look even more charming. She continued to say, “Usually, attendants from the outer sect will be arranged to serve the guests. As a guest staying in the east wing’s first courtyard, you’ll definitely have people serving you. We’re specially arranged to serve you, Young Master Duan.”
At this time, Yuan Meng looked at Duan Ling Tian pitifully with tears brimming in her eyes as she said, “Young Master Duan, you must bring us with you when you leave. Otherwise, we’ll definitely be married off to someone we don’t like…”
Yuan Meng’s pitiful expression was not something most men could refuse. Unfortunately for her, Duan Ling Tian was not like most men. Moreover, despite his youthful appearance, he was already the father of two children. He also did not forget the reason he had come to the Realms of Gods was for his wife, Ke’er.
After listening to Lie He Hua and Yuan Meng’s words, Duan Ling Tian could naturally guess the Cloudy Morning Sect’s intention. They hoped these two young women would be able to seduce him. After all, if they were successful, the sect would have a connection with him and would gain his support. With his support, they would stand above all the other forces in Descent Mountain City.
In the end, Duan Ling Tian said, “Don’t worry, I’m here. I won’t let you be married off to someone you don’t like.”
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, the two young women’s eyes lit up immediately. They assumed that Duan Ling Tian was going to bring them away from the Cloudy Morning Sect. Initially, they were not very willing when they were ordered to serve Duan Ling Tian. Nevertheless, they could not disobey the orders given to them. Moreover, it had been instilled in them since they were young to put the sect first.
However, after they met Duan Ling Tian, all traces of reluctance vanished from their minds. Not only was he handsome, but he was kind, talented, and understanding. It would be great if they could stay by his side even as concubines. Moreover, if they were able to stay next to him, the Cloudy Morning Sect would naturally benefit from it as well. To them, their sect was the first priority, and their happiness was second.
If Duan Ling Tian were aware of the thoughts in the two young women’s minds, he would have been rendered speechless by their overactive imaginations and assumptions.
At this moment, a voice rang from outside the courtyard, announcing Sima Kong Ming’s arrival.
“Sima Kong Ming, the Sect Leader of the Cloudy Morning Sect, requests an audience with Young Master Duan.”
Sima Kong Ming only dared to enter after Duan Ling Tian had given his permission. A smile bloomed on his face when he saw the two young women serving Duan Ling Tian. He thought that he had made a good choice sending the two young women here. After all, since ancient times, heroes could not resist the temptations of beauties.
“Young Master Duan, this is the sect’s meeting gift to you,” Sima King Ming said as he took two steps forward and handed a Spatial Ring that contained 20,000 divine rocks to Duan Ling Tian.
Although Sima Kong Ming felt his heart bleeding from having to part with 20,000 divine rocks, he felt better when he thought about how the sect would forge a connection with Duan Ling Tian after two young women successfully seduced him. They would be better off compared to the Heaven Martial Sect and the Meng family who gave up 20,000 divine rocks each for nothing substantial.
Once the young women were by Duan Ling Tian’s side, the Cloudy Morning Sect would naturally be able to benefit from their relationships. It was only natural that Duan Ling Tian would support the Cloudy Morning Sect due to his relationships with the two young women.
“Thank you, Sect Leader Sima,” Duan Ling Tian said as he accepted the Spatial Ring. Then, he closed his eyes and continued to bask under the sun.
Upon seeing this, Sima Kong Ming retreated in embarrassment. Before he left, he sent a Voice Transmission to both young women, reminding them to do their best to serve Duan Ling Tian.
After Sima Kong Ming left, the two young women exchanged a look before they looked at Duan Ling Tian with burning eyes.
Yuan Meng took the initiative and asked with a smile, “Young Master Duan, the Glorious Heaven Sect is much bigger than the Cloudy Morning Sect, right?”
“The Glorious Heaven Sect?” Duan Ling Tian was briefly confused before he remembered he had told everyone he was a disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect. “I’m not sure, but as an emperor-rank sect, it has to be bigger than the Cloudy Morning Sect. I just don’t know how much bigger it is in comparison.”
“You don’t know?” Yuan Meng was stunned by Duan Ling Tian’s words. “Young Master Duan, aren’t you a disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect?”
Duan Ling Tian only smiled in response and did not say anything.
With that, the two young women sent a message to Sima Kong Ming, who had just left, about this matter.
…
Sima Kong Ming was confused as well. After a while, he nodded and replied through Voice Transmission, “Perhaps, he hasn’t gone to the Glorious Heaven Sect yet. After all, he only became Lord Ye Bei Yuan’s disciple sometime in the last 30 years. Moreover, even if he’s not a disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect, with his innate talent and comprehension skills, even the Glorious Heaven Sect would rush to accept him into their sect. To be honest, I wish he’s not a disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect. It’d be even better if he was the disciple of the strongest emperor-rank force in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. Perhaps, both of you can convince him to leave the Glorious Heaven Sect for a stronger emperor-rank force. After all, there’s a big difference between emperor-rank forces that presently have Emperors of Gods among their ranks and those that have none.”
Sima Kong Ming did not doubt Duan Ling Tian at all. In truth, it would not have mattered to him even if he found Duan Ling Tian was lying. After all, he had witnessed Duan Ling Tian’s strength and innate talent. Although Duan Ling Tian was just a rudimentary god, he managed to defeat Qian Shu Huan, who had been an advanced god for 10,000 years. Qian Shu Huan could be considered outstanding among his peers in Descent Mountain City. Hence, he was certain Duan Ling Tian would definitely be a prominent figure in the Eastern Ridge Mansion in the future.
If the two young women from the Cloudy Morning Sect could stay by Duan Ling Tian’s side, it would definitely benefit the Cloudy Morning Sect.
…
After receiving Sima Kong Ming’s reply, the two young women grew even more determined to win Duan Ling Tian’s heart. They served him even more diligently than before. Once in a while, they would drop hints about their intentions to be with him.
Before they were sent to serve Duan Ling Tian, the sect had arranged for some older women in the sect to teach them about the intimacy between men and women. Hence, they had some knowledge about the matter despite being virgins.
Alas, despite giving it their all to seduce Duan Ling Tian, they still failed to make any progress with the tranquil and immovable young man. Whether he was sitting, standing, or lying down, he was like an old monk, unmoved by their advances.
For this reason, the two young women felt incredibly helpless and even began to doubt their own charms.
Duan Ling Tian allowed himself to relax during his stay in the Cloudy Morning Sect estate. He allowed the two girls to serve him without asking any questions. Regardless, no matter how the girls hinted at their intentions to be with him, he remained unmoved.
“It’s time for me to leave.”
Upon hearing these words, the two young women’s eyes lit up. Since they were young, the farthest they had been to was the heart of Descent Mountain City. They had never left Descent Mountain City before.
“Young Master Duan, do we need to make any preparations before leaving?”
Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “There’s no need for both of you to make any preparations. After all, I’m leaving alone.”
The young women were dumbfounded upon hearing these words. After all, in their minds, he had agreed to bring them away. Why did he suddenly change his mind?
“Young Master, are we not good enough? Is that why you won’t bring us with you?” Yuan Meng’s eyes reddened. She was not feigning sadness. After all, if she did not leave, she would be married off to a man from a noble family that was not as powerful as the Cloudy Morning Sect.
Men from those noble families were notorious womanizers and would never treat them well.
“Young Master Duan,” Liu He Hua’s eyes turned red as she said, “Didn’t you promise us that you won’t let us marry someone we don’t like? If you don’t bring us with you, we won’t be able to control our fates…”
Duan Ling Tian smiled as he said, “Don’t worry. I’ll speak to your sect leader before I leave. He won’t dare to oppose my words. Otherwise, he and the sect will pay for it when I visit in the future.”
A hint of coldness could be heard in his voice nearing the end of his sentence.
Meanwhile, warmth flooded the two young women’s hearts when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. However, they were not particularly happy. In fact, they felt disappointed. It was at this time that they discovered that in just a few days, they had begun to develop feelings for the young man in front of them.
…
After Duan Ling Tian spoke to Sima Kong Ming, despite feeling reluctant, Sima Kong Ming could only agree to Duan Ling Tian’s request.. Otherwise, the sect would meet with a disaster the next time Duan Ling Tian visited.
