“What nonsense are you spouting…?”
Gong Ning wanted to scold her sharply, but in this dangerous place, she couldn’t raise her voice.
Yet the next moment, a tingling warmth spread across her chest—Tang Qiaohuan’s hand had somehow found its way there.
“What are you doing now?”
“Don’t pretend, Elder. Can you honestly say you don’t have thoughts about me?”
“Everyone has thoughts. Acting on them is the line between good and evil. Now get up.”
“What a shame.”
Tang Qiaohuan stood, brushing dust off her back.
“You barged in here on purpose. What do you know?”
Her gaze slid over Gong Ning’s body, making her skin crawl.
“What do I know? Quite a lot.
But that depends on what the Elder is willing to give me.”
“…What do you want?”
“I want the Elder to hold me—cradle me like a baby—and say: Good girl, Huanhuan is the cutest. I love Huanhuan the most.”
What kind of demand was that?
It would’ve been easier if she’d just asked for spirit stones or artifacts.
Gong Ning had always thought she was strange.
But to be this absurd? Unmatched.
Swallowing her discomfort, Gong Ning pulled Tang Qiaohuan into her arms.
“Good… good girl… Huanhuan… is the cutest… I… love Huanhuan the most.”
In response, Tang Qiaohuan planted a kiss on her cheek.
“Passable, but not great. Since it’s your first time, I’ll be lenient.”
To Gong Ning’s surprise, Tang Qiaohuan didn’t push further—she hopped down on her own.
“Do you know why the Xuan Yuan Sect caused such chaos? It’s because of this place. The reason this realm is so cold is to suppress the Yan Sha, the most evil beast.”
The name was legendary—spoken of in the same breath as Su’e.
Yan Sha—a monstrous beast said to have formed from the world’s own chaos.
Inherently violent, utterly malevolent, it thrived on fire, leaving ruin in its wake.
Perhaps to it, this was mere instinct.
But humanity could not endure it.
And it could not be truly destroyed.
Once shattered, it would re-form in time.
“This secret realm was transformed by a master cultivator to imprison Yan Sha.
The extreme cold suppresses it constantly—preventing escape.”
Gong Ning asked, “Are you saying the Xuan Yuan Sect wants to release Yan Sha?”
“Mm, that’s your second question.
But what will you do about it?”
Gong Ning saw her leaning in, a finger tapping her own cheek.
She understood.
Reluctantly, she closed her eyes and kissed Tang Qiaohuan’s soft cheek.
“Ah~ Elder is molesting her disciple! So shameful…”
“Stop fooling around.”
“You have no sense of romance.”
Tang Qiaohuan paused, then continued, “The Xuan Yuan Sect wants to restore their kingdom. Would they allow Yan Sha to freely destroy the land they claim? No. They want to control it—make it their weapon.”
“Then what do those unperfected disciples have to do with it?”
“Third question.”
Gong Ning sighed.
The girl’s demands were growing bolder.
A little teasing was fine, but now she was making jokes at a critical moment.
Fine. She hadn’t lost anything.
Gong Ning leaned in and kissed Tang Qiaohuan’s lips—soft, faintly sweet, with a hint of honey.
Was she always eating sweets?
Tang Qiaohuan even flicked her tongue against Gong Ning’s lips.
“Mm, this time—excellent.”
She nodded, touching her lips, clearly savoring the taste.
“Before and after birth—you know the difference, Elder?
Before represents chaos.
After represents order.
Yan Sha is in that chaotic state.
New disciples are newly awakened in spirit, still holding much of that primordial chaos.
And their spiritual roots are tender.
If that essence is extracted… it can power a certain technique…”
“Binding Spirit, Feeding the Beast.”
“Aww, too bad. You already know this one.”
This was exactly why Tang Qiaohuan had come.
In her past life, when the group finally unlocked the realm, the disciples were already sacrificed, and Yan Sha awakened.
But the Sword Immortal was terrifyingly strong.
She defeated two high-ranking Xuan Yuan Sect elders alone.
Though Yan Sha’s awakening was irreversible, sealing the realm while it was still weak kept it imprisoned.
When Yan Sha finally emerged again, it was Tao Lingling who claimed it.
Under her, Yan Sha was as good as dead.
She even refused to let it leave the realm—because the souls it burned didn’t help her Taoist Devouring Life Record advance.
A beast meant to dominate the world, trapped in a secret realm for an entire lifetime.
Where could it even complain?
Gong Ning didn’t know what she was thinking.
She only knew she had to save the disciples faster.
Every delay meant more lives lost.
“Judging by direction, we’ve been teleported to the west side of the realm.
The main entrance is in the center…”
Gong Ning crouched, placing her palm on the ground to sense the spiritual veins.
“By feel, we’re likely beneath their forces…”
“Why rush? Have you checked how much time we’ve wasted?
Those disciples are probably already dead.”
Tang Qiaohuan tossed the words out casually—then realized her mistake.
She turned to see Gong Ning’s furious glare.
“What do you think life is worth?”
Oh no.
Why did Tao Lingling get away with saying things like that, but when she said it, the Elder was so angry?
But Tang Qiaohuan quickly apologized, “My bad. I said the wrong thing. Don’t be mad, Elder.”
Gong Ning hoped she meant it.
She sighed.
“Why tell me all this and not the others?
Surely not just for a few kisses?”
“Hehe~ Looks like you understand me after all.”
Tang Qiaohuan had said all this to guide Gong Ning here.
“Elder, wouldn’t you like to know… how to break through to Golden Core within thirty years?”
Gong Ning froze.
“I’m very interested—but this isn’t the time.”
“The Su’e Nine Luminaries True Scripture is a cold-element technique in its early stages.
And the core of this realm is a celestial meteorite.
Obtain it, and Golden Core in thirty years is guaranteed.”
Gong Ning hesitated. “But then Yan Sha would awaken—countless lives would be lost.”
“Don’t worry. Would I ever betray you?
Give me a reward, and I’ll tell you how to have both.”
Again with this.
Gong Ning had no choice.
“Just do it yourself. I can’t imagine what’s left for you to sink to.”
Hmph. Pretending innocence.
Who didn’t know her mind was dirtier than anyone’s?
Tang Qiaohuan didn’t call her out.
After all, Gong Ning hadn’t thought about such things in a century.
Bluntly exposing her might damage her Dao heart.
Better to proceed gradually.
Tang Qiaohuan stood, twirling in front of her.
“Elder, look at my body.
Do I look like a child to you?”
Gong Ning felt a chill.
She vaguely guessed what Tang Qiaohuan intended—but still asked, “Don’t be absurd.”
“I’m a Tang. What’s wrong with being absurd?
Don’t refuse. I know you enjoy it.”
Gong Ning’s face burned.
She glanced around nervously. “What if someone suddenly appears?”
“Don’t worry.
I have a fox spirit treasure—lets us vanish from the world.
No one will detect us.”
This was truly…
Gong Ning knelt on the ground, watching as the girl settled into her lap.
Then, with trembling fingers, she slowly undid the first button of her robe.
