404: Chapter 404 This is our secret

[Ding! Luo Yulian's favorability increased by 10 points. Cannot obtain 10% of Young Master Shen Anlin's Cultivation/ability for the time being.]

[Luo Yulian's favorability: 65 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

Luo Yulian felt her mind go blank. Her heart was beating faster than ever—not just from shock and disbelief, but from a strange sense of pleasure and shyness, devoid of any anger.

Under Ji Taichang's demands, Luo Yulian could only respond clumsily, subconsciously parting her pearly teeth to let Ji Taichang explore within.

After a long while...

Luo Yulian felt her entire body go limp, her face burning, and her little heart thumping as if it were about to jump out of her chest.

Ji Taichang finally released her with a wicked smile on his face: "Fairy Luo, this is our secret. You must not tell anyone else!"

"Otherwise... you know what I am capable of!"

For someone like Luo Yulian who had a masochistic streak, normal displays of affection and pursuit were useless. One needed to prescribe the right medicine to quickly increase her favorability!

Luo Yulian's beautiful eyes were misty and unfocused as she stared blankly at Ji Taichang's handsome and devilishly charming face, his threatening words ringing in her ears.

Her heart raced, and the inexplicable pleasure in her heart grew stronger, making her legs feel weak, causing her to subconsciously press her long legs together.

"I... I understand..."

Luo Yulian lowered her head, her voice soft and sweet.

This pitiful appearance made Ji Taichang's index finger twitch; he really wanted to take her right there.

However, Pei Yuening was still waiting for him, and this was the Grand Elder's territory. If that old woman discovered him, he likely wouldn't have a good time.

Smack!!

Before leaving, Ji Taichang suddenly reached out and slapped Luo Yulian's backside hard, causing a trembling wave.

"Bad guy!!"

Luo Yulian shuddered as if electrocuted, her whole body trembling violently, her lips tightly bitten.

[Ding! Luo Yulian's favorability increased by 2 points. Cannot obtain 10% of Young Master Shen Anlin's Cultivation/ability for the time being.]

[Luo Yulian's favorability: 67 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

Luo Yulian watched Ji Taichang leave with a resentful gaze.

"Bad guy, bad guy, bad guy!!"

"He said he came to apologize, but he just took the opportunity to bully me!"

"But why... why can't I hate him? Instead, I'm becoming more and more addicted to this feeling..."

"Ahhh! Luo Yulian, oh Luo Yulian, how could you become so strange..."

Luo Yulian returned to her room, buried her head in her quilt, and held her hot, flushed cheeks with both hands. She felt incredibly shy and conflicted, her fair little feet kicking continuously outside the quilt.

...

When Ji Taichang returned to Mingyue Mountain, he saw Pei Yuening explaining the difficult points and mysteries of a Cultivation Technique to Qin Shishi.

"How did it go?"

Pei Yuening glanced at Ji Taichang.

Ji Taichang replied: "I have sincerely apologized to Luo Yulian, and she has already forgiven me. This matter is settled."

"That's fine."

Pei Yuening didn't suspect anything and instructed Qin Shishi: "You should stay in the Immortal Cave to go into secluded Cultivation. Carefully ponder the difficult points I just mentioned; it will be of great help to your strength. Ji Taichang and I are going out for a while."

"Alright, Revered Master. Goodbye, Young Master." Qin Shishi nodded obediently.

Pei Yuening took a step.

An invisible Immortal force lifted Ji Taichang, and the two rose into the air.

"Revered Master, where are we going?"

"Your talent is quite good. It would be a waste to just stay in the Sect and go into secluded Cultivation. I discovered a dangerous place in the Great Wilderness, which contains many Heaven And Earth Treasures related to the Dao of Thunder. It will be very beneficial for improving your strength and practicing your Cultivation Technique. It just so happens that I can throw you in there for some training."

Ji Taichang: "..."

He really wanted to say that he didn't need training, nor did he need to Cultivate; he just needed Revered Master to introduce him to a few more beauties...

However, if he really said that, he would likely be purged from the Sect by Pei Yuening.

...

Ji Taichang couldn't tell what Pei Yuening's cultivation level was, but her flying speed was extremely fast. The vast land under their feet kept shrinking and receding. At such high speed, everything became blurred.

One day later.

Pei Yuening stopped. A vast, endless Great Wilderness appeared before them. The mountains were towering and reached the sky, with ancient trees reaching the clouds. Low, terrifying roars of beasts echoed from time to time.

"There is a lightning-struck wood on that mountain. Let's start here."

Pei Yuening waved her hand, and a gentle Immortal force threw Ji Taichang onto a large mountain.

On the top of the mountain stood a hundred-foot-tall jujube tree. Although it appeared charred by heavenly lightning, a few tender buds had sprouted. Lightning patterns were faintly visible on the charred stump; it was a rare Heaven And Earth Treasure related to the Dao of Thunder.

Just as Ji Taichang approached the top of the mountain.

The ground suddenly split open, and a hideous, terrifying giant python rushed out instantly. Its body, hundreds of feet long, wrapped around Ji Taichang, and its bloody maw bit down fiercely.

This was a True Immortal Realm fifth-level Yao Beast!

Ji Taichang appeared to be surrounded and in extreme danger.

But Ji Taichang was not panicked at all. The moment the giant python bit down, he violently threw the green wind sword. Like a scorching lightning bolt, it instantly hit the root of the giant python's tongue in its mouth.

With a "pfft" sound, the green wind sword sank deep into the root of the giant python's tongue, bringing up a large spray of blood. The lightning power attached to the green wind sword scorched the wound black.

The spot Ji Taichang chose was extremely tricky.

The root of the tongue was the core node of the giant python's head-level Yao power circulation route. Once breached here, its Yao power instantly became chaotic. Its bloody maw lost strength, and the intense pain caused it to let out a painful hiss!

The giant python subconsciously contracted its body, its massive Physical Body tightening like a mountain, trying to strangle Ji Taichang to death.

Instead of taking the opportunity to rush out, Ji Taichang continued to take a risky approach. He formed hand seals, and the green wind sword pulled out from the root of the giant python's tongue and charged directly into its body!!

"The Rock-Patterned Giant Python has a very strong Physical Body defense. The only weak points are its mouth and the internal organs in its abdomen. This kid has a sharp eye."

Pei Yuening nodded secretly.

This giant python had decent strength, but Ji Taichang was also shockingly strong. Wisps of blue radiance appeared around his body, and he forcibly withstood the giant python's death squeeze.

The green wind sword quickly tore through the giant python's internal organs, causing sword light and electrical sparks to burst from its abdomen. Soon, it exploded with a bang and died on the spot.

But this was just the beginning.

There were actually several True Immortal Realm-level giant pythons entrenched on this mountain, and at this moment, they all swarmed out and charged at Ji Taichang!

"Eh?"

Pei Yuening watched for a while and soon noticed something wrong.

Ji Taichang's fighting style was very seasoned and ruthless, and his experience was rich. He didn't look like a younger generation Disciple at all; instead, it was as if he had been fighting and killing for half his life.
