138: Chapter 138 A Alluring and Enchanting Beauty! Yin-Yang Pool, Mandarin Ducks…

Second Miss Liu Meiyan just raised her hand to smooth her slightly messy hair, the jade tassel hairpin at her temple swaying gently with the movement.

Her collar was loose, revealing a small patch of snow-white, delicate skin, and a lingering mist of moisture still gathered in her eyes.

When she lifted her eyes to look at the man beside her, the corners of her eyes tilted slightly upward, and the charm engraved in her very bones nearly overflowed.

She raised her slender fingertips, gently tapped the man's chest, cast a slightly coquettish, sideways glance at Zhou Liangan, and spoke with feigned annoyance.

Her voice was delicate and soft, the tail end drawn out long, so alluring it could practically drip water: "You rascal, you're so impatient right after finishing, and Gongye Peining is still watching right here."

As soon as these words were spoken, Gongye Peining, who was standing not far away and wishing she could curl into a ball, instantly stiffened like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Gongye Peining's cheeks instantly flushed with a ripened crimson, even her ears and neck turning bright red. Her watery eyes dared not even glance toward the two, and she hurriedly lowered her head, waving her hands in a panic, her speech even stuttering: "I—I—I... you two go ahead! I won't disturb you! I'm leaving right now, I'll guard the outside of the Secret Land for you! I absolutely won't let anyone in!"

With that, only Zhou Liangan and Second Miss Liu Meiyan were left within the entire Secret Land.

Watching Gongye Peining flee in a panic, Second Miss Liu Meiyan couldn't help but let out a low laugh, then turned around and nestled softly into Zhou Liangan's arms like a water snake.

She raised her slender, snow-white jade hand, her fingertips carrying a slightly cool temperature, and gently brushed against Zhou Liangan's cheek, tracing along his jawline. Her captivating peach-blossom eyes looked at him with watery intensity, her voice as soft as cotton candy, filled with deep dependence: "Husband~ There shouldn't have been any mishaps during the Possession just now, right? I was guarding outside just now, and my heart was in my throat the whole time."

Zhou Liangan took the opportunity to extend his hand, firmly wrapping it around Second Miss Liu Meiyan's slender yet curvaceous waist, his fingertips gently pinching her soft waist. The tactile sensation was delicate and smooth, just like fine mutton-fat jade.

He looked down at this bewitching, stunningly beautiful face in his arms, feeling immensely pleased internally, yet he put on a calm and indifferent expression on his face, speaking with a smile, his tone filled with absolute arrogance: "Rest assured, your husband has a cultivation of the eighth stage of the Enlightenment Realm. Wanting to perform a Possession on a junior at the Peak of the Ning-Shen stage is simply an easy task, isn't it? How could any mishaps possibly occur?"

Upon hearing this, a strange, indefinable look flashed rapidly through Second Miss Liu Meiyan's beautiful eyes, as quick as a shooting star, impossible for anyone to catch.

She then giggled again, burrowing deeper into Zhou Liangan's arms, her lotus-root arms gently wrapping around his neck, her breath like orchids, the warm air brushing against Zhou Liangan's earlobe, making his heart tremble with an itch: "Husband is the best~ But speaking of which, Husband should move with me to that Yin-Yang Pool~ The two of us can take advantage of the vast Yin-Yang Energy in the Yin-Yang Pool, plus the Power of Primordial Yin I have accumulated through over three thousand years of hard cultivation, to help Husband thoroughly stabilize your cultivation and break through the Bottleneck in one go."

Power of Primordial Yin?

Hearing these four words, Zhou Liangan's eyes instantly lit up, and an undisguised heat surged in the depths of his eyes.

He certainly knew how precious Second Miss Liu Meiyan's Power of Primordial Yin was.

This woman was a once-in-a-millennium Genius of the Liu Family, having cultivated for thousands of years alongside Gongye Hong, her cultivation unfathomable. Her Power of Primordial Yin, for someone Cultivating a Yin-Yang Cultivation Technique, was simply the most precious treasure in the world. Let alone breaking through a Bottleneck, even skipping several major Realms directly was not impossible.

Not to mention, there was also that Yin-Yang Pool in the Forbidden Ground of the Gongye Family.

He had long since found in Gongye Hong's memories that the Yin-Yang Pool was the foundation of the Gongye Family, containing the Yin-Yang Energy that had existed since the beginning of heaven and earth, a place of fortune that countless Cultivators would break their heads trying to enter just once.

This was like someone offering a pillow just when he was feeling sleepy!

Zhou Liangan was ecstatic inside, but kept a poker face, laughing heartily as he reached out to pinch Second Miss Liu Meiyan's delicate chin, looking at her with a smile: "Hahaha! Very good, very good! My dear wife is truly thoughtful!"

Second Miss Liu Meiyan didn't mind being pinched by him; instead, she giggled, her eyes swirling with charm, her whole body hanging on him as if she had no bones. Her voice was soft, but carried a hint of imperceptible seriousness: "Everything is for Husband. But Husband must not forget~ You promised me back then that once you reached the position of Human Race Councilor, you would definitely help our Liu Family become the premier meritorious Family of the Human Race~"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Liangan's heart skipped a beat.

Damn?

There was such a thing?

His brain instantly seemed to run at double speed, frantically searching through the memories extracted from Gongye Hong's Divine Soul, fearing he might miss a single word.

Fortunately, Gongye Hong's memories had been completely devoured by him, and after a few breaths, he found the corresponding fragment—there really was such a thing.

About three hundred years ago, Gongye Hong failed to break through to the ninth stage of the Enlightenment Realm, his cultivation plummeted, and it was the Liu Family that exhausted the strength of the entire Family to help him stabilize his cultivation, and even helped him block the pursuit of countless enemies.

At that time, Gongye Hong did indeed make a promise that if one day he could reach the position of Human Race Councilor, he would definitely ensure the Liu Family became a top meritorious Family of the Human Race, glorious for generations.

Phew, good, good, didn't give himself away.

Zhou Liangan breathed a sigh of relief inside, then looked down at the beauty in his arms, smiling as he patted her waist, his tone incomparably certain as he gave his word: "Rest assured, Madam! This little matter, what is difficult about it? With me here, let alone a meritorious Family, even making the Liu Family the number one Family of the Human Race is not a problem!"

Upon hearing this, Second Miss Liu Meiyan was instantly overjoyed, covering her face and giggling, laughing until she swayed, the rise and fall of her chest jiggling along, which made Zhou Liangan feel distracted and restless.

After finishing her laughter, her snow-white, jade-like lotus-root arms tightly hooked around Zhou Liangan's neck, her whole body pressing against him, her breath like orchids: "Then it's a deal~ Husband must not go back on your word."

"Rest assured, when has your husband ever lied to you?" Zhou Liangan smiled and agreed, looking down at the graceful and naturally alluring beauty in his arms, feeling a surge of heat rise from his lower abdomen, unable to help but feel distracted and restless.

He tightened his arms abruptly, pulling Second Miss Liu Meiyan tightly into his embrace, feeling the soft sensation in his arms, then his spiritual power swirled around his body, transforming into a dazzling golden stream of light, speeding toward the direction of the Yin-Yang Pool in the depths of the Secret Land.

Two streams of light cut through the darkness of the Secret Land, passing through layer after layer of Restrictions.

In just a few breaths, the two passed through the heavy Restrictions and arrived at the entrance of the Yin-Yang Pool.

As soon as they stepped into this place, a vast, surging Yin-Yang Energy, almost condensed into substance, rushed toward their faces.

Zhou Liangan looked up and was instantly stunned by the scene before him.

Before him was an incomparably huge natural pool, fully the size of half a football field. The pool was naturally divided into two halves; the left half was milky white Yang energy, churning with golden light waves, emitting a scorching and majestic aura, while the right half was ink-black Yin energy, circulating with eerie blue moonlight, carrying a cold yet nourishing power that fed all things.

Two completely different auras blended perfectly together in the center of the pool, forming a huge Taiji pattern, slowly rotating. With every rotation, a vast Dao rhyme was emitted.

The stones by the pool had been tempered by this Yin-Yang Energy for hundreds of millions of years, having long since turned into translucent white spirit jade, glowing with a warm luster. Even the spiritual mist floating in the air carried rich Yin-Yang Energy; taking one breath into the body made one's entire Meridians feel as if they had been soaked in warm water, so comfortable that one couldn't help but sigh.

As soon as Zhou Liangan stepped into this place, even though he only absorbed a little of the easily dissipating Yin-Yang Energy in the air, the Yin-Yang Dao Accomplishment Sutra in his Dantian automatically began to operate, frantically devouring these auras, even faintly showing signs of breaking through the Bottleneck.

Previously, Zhou Liangan had been stuck at the sixth stage of this Yin-Yang Dao Accomplishment Sutra.

It wasn't that his cultivation was insufficient, nor was his talent lacking; it was simply that this Cultivation Technique consumed too many resources. To break through, it required a massive, purely extreme amount of Yin-Yang Energy to give his entire Meridians, Dantian, and even Divine Soul a thorough cleansing, a complete rebirth.

Before, he had searched countless places and could not gather enough of this Yin-Yang Energy. Now, arriving at this Yin-Yang Pool, it was like a mouse falling into a rice jar; a massive stroke of fortune had fallen directly on his head.

With this Yin-Yang Pool here, let alone breaking through the Bottleneck of the sixth stage, even cultivating directly to the ninth stage and completing this incomplete Cultivation Technique was not impossible!

Zhou Liangan was ecstatic inside, the light in his eyes growing brighter and brighter, even becoming somewhat distracted, his mind filled with how to use the Yin-Yang Pool and Second Miss Liu Meiyan's Power of Primordial Yin to break through in one go later.

"Husband~"

Second Miss Liu Meiyan beside him suddenly spoke, her delicate voice pulling back his thoughts. She looked at Zhou Liangan with a charming expression, her peach-blossom eyes swirling as if holding a pool of spring water, her snow-white hand gently pulling his sleeve, asking softly: "What are you thinking about? So engrossed that you didn't even hear me calling you."

Zhou Liangan came back to his senses, looked down at the beauty beside him, and the wicked fire in his heart surged up again.

He smiled and lowered his head, planting a solid kiss on Second Miss Liu Meiyan's charming, delicate, and fair face, his tone filled with undisguised teasing, the double entendre fully loaded: "What else could I be thinking about? Of course, I'm thinking about what kind of knowledge—oh no, what kind of method—we two should use in a while to have a good Breakthrough."

Upon hearing this, Second Miss Liu Meiyan instantly understood the lewd implication in his words, and a mesmerizing flush of red instantly suffused her delicate, fair face, spreading all the way to her earlobes.

She raised her snow-white hand and gently patted Zhou Liangan's chest, coquettishly saying: "Hateful~ You only know how to bully me, you have no proper behavior~"

Though she said she hated it, her body leaned even tighter into Zhou Liangan's embrace, her whole person soft, like a pool of spring water, which made Zhou Liangan laugh heartily, feeling completely refreshed.

He reached out and wrapped his arms around Second Miss Liu Meiyan's slender yet curvaceous water-snake waist, his spiritual power stirred at his feet, and with one step, their figures instantly crossed the Restrictions by the pool and fell together into the Yin-Yang Pool.

The warm pool water wrapped around their bodies, and the Yin-Yang Energy, rich to the extreme, frantically surged toward their bodies.

Yet, the moment the two stepped into the Yin-Yang Pool, a sudden change occurred!

The previously calm and churning Yin-Yang Pool suddenly seemed as if a thunderbolt had been dropped into it, instantly boiling over!

The Yin-Yang Energy within the pool began to churn violently. Countless strands of black and white Qi transformed instantly into chains glowing with a cold light. Like vipers that had been lying in wait for a long time, they surged fiercely toward Zhou Liangan's position with a whistling sound that tore through the air!

Everything happened too fast—so fast that even Zhou Liangan didn't have time to react!

"Snap!"

With a few crisp sounds, four thick Yin-Yang chains instantly and firmly bound Zhou Liangan's limbs, tightening violently until his bones creaked under the unbearable pressure.

The Yin-Yang Energy carried by the chains possessed extreme corrosiveness and sealing power, frantically drilling into his Meridians in an attempt to instantly Seal the flow of spiritual power throughout his entire body.

Before he could break free, the vast Yin-Yang Energy above his head gathered frantically, instantly transforming into a magnificent, sky-covering Yin-Yang Dao Diagram that slowly hovered over him. Every time the Dao Diagram rotated, a terrifying pressure capable of suppressing the ages descended. Its stance was clearly intended to completely suppress him within this Yin-Yang Pool, forever preventing him from rising again!

Throughout the entire Yin-Yang Pool, murderous intent arose on all sides; the gentle tenderness from just a moment ago vanished instantly.

Zhou Liangan felt a sudden shock in his heart and instinctively tried to hug Second Miss Liu Meiyan tightly, but when his fingertips brushed, he only grasped at empty air.

The woman in his arms had long since broken free from his embrace and retreated, though he had no idea when it happened.

Zhou Liangan suddenly looked up.

On the Void Realm not far away, Second Miss Liu Meiyan's snow-white, bare feet were lightly touching a wisp of Yin-Yang Energy. Her smoky purple immortal dress fluttered and danced in the strong winds of the pool, and her long hair flew wildly with it.

That enchanting, stunningly beautiful face, which had just moments ago been filled with a charming blush and amorous eyes, now held not a shred of a smile. Only a bone-chilling coldness remained. Her beautiful eyes were filled with undisguised murderous intent, like two ice-tempered daggers stabbing straight at Zhou Liangan.

Watching Zhou Liangan trapped by the chains, she parted her red lips slightly. Her voice was cold, carrying a hint of mocking laughter: "Kid, I didn't expect you to have such abilities. The Possession plan my husband had been plotting for a hundred years actually failed at your hands, and even his Divine Soul was devoured by you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Liangan's heart sank, and a chill instantly crept up his spine.

He had actually been exposed?! How was that possible?

He had clearly devoured all of Gongye Hong's memories. He had mimicked his tone of voice, habits, and small gestures perfectly—even the Elders of the Gongye Family couldn't spot a flaw. How could this woman, Second Miss Liu Meiyan, recognize him at a glance?

He forced down the shock in his heart, maintaining an expression of astonishment and anger on his face, and shouted sternly: "Madam! What do you mean by this? Have you gone mad?"

Watching him continue to act, Second Miss Liu Meiyan couldn't help but chuckle, her laughter filled with cold mockery: "Stop pretending. You are not him."

Zhou Liangan's expression turned cold, and he continued the act, his tone filled with towering rage, as if he had been betrayed by the person he trusted most: "What nonsense are you spouting? I am your authentic husband, Gongye Hong! I see that you have not given up on your treacherous schemes! You want to take advantage of me just after I finished the Possession, when my cultivation is at its weakest, to harm me and seize the Family business of my Gongye Family, don't you?!"

He spoke with such sincerity that anyone else would likely have been bluffed by him.

Yet Second Miss Liu Meiyan did not believe him at all. Her beautiful eyes were filled with bone-chilling coldness as she punctured his last disguise, word by word: "I already told you, stop pretending. Why bother? I have been with my husband for thousands of years; I know what he is like better than anyone. My husband has cultivated bitterly his entire life, his original Yang is still intact, pure and unblemished. But the aura on you is extremely filthy; you don't even have a single trace of pure original Yang energy. This is your biggest flaw."

Original Yang still intact? Upon hearing this, Zhou Liangan was instantly stunned, his eyes filled with complete astonishment and disbelief.

His mind felt as if it had been struck by a thunderbolt, instantly going blank.

Original Yang still intact??? What the f***???

That old monster Gongye Hong, who had lived for over five thousand six hundred years, and the stunningly beautiful Second Miss Liu Meiyan, had been Dao Companions for thousands of years, yet he was still a virgin???

What kind of outrageous event is this in the human world?

This old thing kept such a great beauty by his side and actually held back for thousands of years without touching her? Does he have some kind of problem?!

Zhou Liangan looked at Second Miss Liu Meiyan in disbelief, completely dumbfounded, forgetting even to struggle.

Watching his astonished expression, Second Miss Liu Meiyan sneered and finally revealed the key point: "My husband and I both Cultivate the 'Yin-Yang Dao Accomplishment Sutra'. This Cultivation Technique is incomparably tyrannical; only when both of our techniques reach Major Achievement can we engage in the union of Yin and Yang, merging like water and milk, and thereby break through the shackles in one go to enter the legendary Realm. If the original Yang is lost midway, our cultivation will be completely destroyed, our Dao foundation will collapse, and we will be doomed eternally."

She paused, the mockery in her eyes deepening: "Therefore, even if you managed to use some Soul treasure to extract all of my husband's memories and mimic him perfectly, you could never know about this promise hidden in the deepest parts of our Divine Souls. Without the original Yang energy, no matter how well you pretend, you are ultimately just a fake."

"So that's how it is..." Zhou Liangan finally came back to his senses and raised an eyebrow. The astonishment and panic on his face vanished without a trace, replaced by an expression of realization and composure.

Since he had been exposed, there was no need to continue pretending. He had originally intended to use Gongye Hong's identity to reap enough benefits first, but now that he had been exposed, he would simply lay his cards on the table and stop acting.

Watching his expression change instantly, Second Miss Liu Meiyan chuckled and took a step forward, the aura around her body instantly turning cold: "Now, you can at least be a ghost who understands why, so you can die with your eyes closed."

As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her delicate hand gently and said coldly: "Tear apart!"

The next second, the four Yin-Yang chains binding Zhou Liangan's limbs instantly exerted force simultaneously in four different directions!

That terrifying power was enough to tear a mountain Peak directly apart. At this moment, it was all focused on Zhou Liangan's body; it was clearly intended to tear him limb from limb and kill him by dismemberment!

The water in the Yin-Yang Pool churned madly, and the entire space was slightly distorted by this power. The chains tightened until Zhou Liangan's skin split open, seeping out golden blood.

But just at this moment, Zhou Liangan suddenly sneered.

"With just this bit of ability, you want to kill me?"

As the words fell, the Tianji Qiankun Technique within Zhou Liangan's body began to operate frantically!

In an instant, golden light burst forth from Zhou Liangan's entire body. A dazzling golden radiance surged into the sky from within him, directly breaking through the blockade of the Yin-Yang Energy and illuminating the entire Yin-Yang Pool!

That terrifying power was several times stronger than the pressure of the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram from just a moment ago!

"Even that old thing Gongye Hong, who was at the eighth stage of the Enlightenment Realm, couldn't do anything to me, let alone you, a woman who is only at the seventh stage of the Enlightenment Realm?" Zhou Liangan's voice, filled with intense arrogance, echoed throughout the entire Yin-Yang Pool.

Upon hearing this, Second Miss Liu Meiyan suddenly smiled beautifully. Standing on the Void Realm, her beautiful eyes flowing with charm, she looked at Zhou Liangan, who was enveloped in golden light. Her tone was delicate, yet filled with absolute murderous intent: "I am not at the seventh stage of the Enlightenment Realm, oh~ I am at the Peak of the Enlightenment Realm~"

The moment her voice fell, the aura on Second Miss Liu Meiyan's body instantly skyrocketed!

An extremely terrifying pressure, like a tsunami, swept across the entire Yin-Yang Pool, covering the sky and earth!

The aura of the Peak of the Enlightenment Realm was more than ten times stronger than before. The Yin-Yang water in the pool was directly blasted into mid-air by this pressure, and the surrounding Dao patterns flashed wildly, emitting an unbearable humming sound!

So, she had been hiding her true strength all along! Even Gongye Hong, who had been with her for thousands of years, didn't know that she had long since broken through to the Peak of the Enlightenment Realm!

Second Miss Liu Meiyan had thought that once she revealed her trump card, no matter how strong this kid in front of her was, his expression would change drastically and he would feel fear.

But she didn't expect that when Zhou Liangan saw this scene, not only was he not the least bit afraid, but he actually threw his head back and laughed loudly. The intensity in his eyes was several times greater than before, like a fierce tiger that had spotted its prey!

"Good! Very good!" Zhou Liangan's voice was filled with excitement. "I didn't expect that just after killing Gongye Hong and coming to this Gongye Family, I would encounter such a perfect Human Furnace as you! Truly, the heavens are protecting me, and the heavens are helping me!"

So what if she is at the Peak of the Enlightenment Realm? So what if she has a Pure Yin Body and three thousand years of original energy? The more powerful the Human Furnace, the more it can help him break through his Realm and ascend to the heavens in a single step!

The moment his words fell, the golden light covering Zhou Liangan's entire body surged again! That golden radiance, like the sun, was so blinding that people couldn't open their eyes!

With a few crisp "snap, snap" sounds, those four Yin-Yang chains that trapped him—which could easily tear apart even a Cultivator of the Enlightenment Realm—were shattered into pieces by the golden light in a mere instant, directly turning into nothingness that filled the sky and dissipating completely!

The massive Yin-Yang Dao Diagram above his head was also directly shaken by this terrifying golden light until it was tottering, and countless cracks appeared on it in an instant!

Seeing this scene, the smile on Second Miss Liu Meiyan's face instantly froze. A trace of astonishment and horror flashed through her beautiful eyes, and a strong sense of foreboding instantly washed over her entire body.

She could never have imagined that this kid, who only had the cultivation of the Peak of the Ning Shen Realm, could erupt with such terrifying power! Even the Yin-Yang Death Array she had set up was easily broken by him!

Zhou Liangan shattered the chains, flashed his figure, and instantly appeared on the Void Realm, facing Second Miss Liu Meiyan from a distance.

He looked at the enchanting beauty in front of him whose face had changed drastically, curled his lips into an aggressive smile, and walked toward her step by step. His low laughter echoed throughout the entire Yin-Yang Pool.

"Beauty, don't be so nervous."

"Be good, don't move around, I will be very gentle..."
