### Chapter 132: Bewitching Peach Blossoms, The Flustered Fairy - Ah? The Wives I Abandoned Turned Out to Be Real

### Chapter 132: Bewitching Peach Blossoms, The Flustered Fairy Nangong Liuli’s flying sword was extremely sharp. The green-haired zombie's head was swiftly decapitated, emitting a stream of white gas before dissolving into a pool of pus. Seeing this, you quickly made your way outside the temple. Nangong Liuli, upon seeing you, was astonished. “How can you be here?” In response to Nangong Liuli's inquiry, you recount your experiences over the past year and a half in full detail, expressing your deep concern for her safety. "Fairy, as long as you're alright, I am relieved." Upon hearing your tale, a flicker of emotion, like a crack in an eternal layer of ice, appeared in Nangong Liuli’s gaze, although she quickly repressed it. “Since you have learned the ways of the demonic path, you can no longer be accepted as a disciple in Emei.” “Moreover, should I hear that you harm lives recklessly, using ordinary people to cultivate demonic arts, I will come and take your head!” At her words, you hurriedly promised. “Fairy, I wouldn’t dare, truly, I wouldn’t.” “In the past six months, all I’ve done is visit mass graves, never harming even a single life.” Nangong Liuli nodded silently. Her sect's elders had calculated that a great treasure, destined for her, would emerge from Tianzhu Mountain around this time, but who would have thought you’d be here too? Despite her reluctance, Nangong Liuli realized she had no choice but to be with you for a while. "I've come for a supreme treasure." "Given you have Yin energy protecting you, you can accompany me to retrieve it." With that, Nangong Liuli approached the entrance of the cave from which the green-haired zombie had emerged. As she neared, the foul stench was overwhelming, indicating the corpse energy had been accumulating for countless years. She hesitated, unsure whether to proceed or wait for the corpse energy to dissipate. You noticed Nangong Liuli’s hesitation and stepped forward. “Fairy Liuli, could it be the stench of the corpse energy bothering you?” This corpse energy, essentially a mutated form of Yin energy, was beneficial to your Yin Soul Art cultivation, prompting you to volunteer. “I can absorb the corpse energy. It's not too late to enter once I've cleared it.” Hearing your proposal, a hint of hesitation appeared in Nangong Liuli's beautiful eyes, but seeing you seated at the cave entrance, absorbing the corpse energy, she refrained from commenting further. The corpse energy within this cave vastly exceeded the total of ten mass graves combined. You absorbed eagerly yet portrayed an expression of agony to gain Nangong Liuli's favor. The Yin Soul Art comprises three realms: 'Yin Soul Entry,' 'Condensing Soul and Gathering Spirits,' and 'Nether Ghost Body.' You had already achieved the 'Yin Soul Entry' realm. Thanks to the corpse energy within the cave, you successfully formed a Yin Soul Seed within yourself to store all the Yin energy you cultivated, moving onto the 'Condensing Soul and Gathering Spirits' realm. In the future, if powerful enough, you could even place a sliver of your divine soul within, creating a secondary divine spirit to gain an additional life and formidable combat power. However, that was beyond your current capabilities. After absorbing all the corpse energy within the cave, your Yin Soul Seed grew to the size of a grain of rice. Yet, even this tiny seed could contain ten times the maximum Yin energy you previously managed. Upon completing this, you collapsed to the ground, looking pale. The cave now exuded a refreshing aura. Nangong Liuli’s icy expression softened with a hint of guilt. She tossed you a jade-green pill. “This is a Condensation Jade Pill, it will benefit you.” After speaking, she descended into the cave alone. You accepted the Condensation Jade Pill, feeling the cool, pure energy within it. Without hesitating, you consumed the pill. As the pill dissolved in your throat, it transformed into pure spiritual energy, healing your yin-damaged body, bringing long-lost comfort. Your stiff muscles and joints, as if released from shackles, regained their flexibility. Realizing this pill's exceptional nature, you felt a wave of sweetness in your heart. “The fairy does care for me.” After rising to stretch, you noticed a sudden spray of pink smoke from the cave, against which your Yin Soul Art conferred strong resistance. However, Nangong Liuli was not so fortunate; she emerged with flushed cheeks, holding a vibrant, multicolored rope. Having inhaled a significant amount of the pink mist, she was deeply poisoned. Moreover, having given you the only Condensation Jade Pill her master bestowed upon her, she had nothing left to detoxify herself, becoming utterly entranced. With a cold stare, Nangong Liuli strove to suppress her desires. "I've been afflicted by the Peach Blossom Miasma.” “Don’t come any closer!” With that, she sat cross-legged, striving to expel the Peach Blossom Miasma through meditation. However, during her meditation, her delicate body quivered, and beads of sweat drenched the ground. As you watched Nangong Liuli, who was now in a vulnerable state, you were faced with a decision: 1. Exploit the situation to take advantage of Nangong Liuli. 2. Wait for Nangong Liuli to finish purging the poison. 3. Kill Nangong Liuli and seize all her magical treasures. Observing the seductive appearance of Nangong Liuli in the footage, Su Mo turned to look at Xu Miaoyin, lying in his arms. Currently still in his state of virtuous sobriety, he found little interest in this type of scenario. It was simply more exciting when he was mentally refreshed. Considering the nature of "Fateful Lives," as long as himself in simulation did not die, Nangong Liuli falling in love with him was inevitable. As for killing Nangong Liuli, only madness could spur such a choice. Thus, Su Mo selected the second option. You choose to wait for Nangong Liuli to complete her detoxification meditation. Seeing you take no inappropriate actions, Nangong Liuli, previously meditating, opened her eyes, clouded with desire. “You behaved yourself. Had you dared to seize advantage, my flying sword would have decapitated you instantly.” “Now, stand guard outside the temple for me, do not enter before dawn.” Hearing Nangong Liuli's command, your heart trembled with relief over avoiding a momentary evil thought. "Very well, Fairy, I will stand guard." You went outside, and from within the temple came faint and delicate moans. Fearing Nangong Liuli's wrath, you dared not sneak a glance inside. While the simulation of yourself averted his eyes, Su Mo, not one to miss a spectacle, switched from first-person to third-person perspective, turning the camera towards the temple hall. Suddenly, the scene overflowed with lush vitality. As dawn broke, Nangong Liuli emerged from the temple, weakened. You noticed her right index and middle fingers were pale, as if they had been soaked all night. Nangong Liuli, upon seeing you, seemed slightly uneasy but swiftly reverted to her cold, icy demeanor. “The treasure is secured, I must depart.” “Now that you've partly mastered an evil cultivation art, I cannot take you back to Emei.” “If my sect elders discover you, your fate will be grim.” Seeing Nangong Liuli prepare to leave on her flying sword, panic filled your heart. “Fairy, how can I possibly meet you again?” “Or rather, how can I contact you?” Your eagerness deeply annoyed Nangong Liuli, who felt her path to enlightenment disrupted. “It's best we do not meet again.” With those words, Nangong Liuli flew off on her sword, vanishing. “Fairy!” “Fairy!” You called out repeatedly, but Nangong Liuli never returned, leaving you collapsed in despair. You no longer knew what your next goal was. Just then, a sultry voice echoed from behind you. “Who would have thought that little Wen Ling has such a devoted admirer.” Startled, you turned to see a stunning woman emerging from the temple. She wore a pink palace dress, her figure tall and voluptuous. At the sight of her, you were struck by her radiance and beauty. “Who are you?!” As you regarded the stunning woman before you, a sense of caution arose; you wondered when she had arrived at the temple. A strange glint flickered in the beautiful woman's eyes, as she hadn’t expected you to remain unmoved by her appearance. Unbeknownst to her, your mind was filled entirely with thoughts of Nangong Liuli; no celestial beauty could sway you at this moment. The enchanting woman then spoke. "My name is Meng Hongshang, known to many as the Peach Blossom Maiden." "You’ve cultivated your Yin Soul Art with some skill, but…” “But what?” you prompted, unable to suppress your curiosity at her incomplete remark. Meng Hongshang gave a smug smile. “Why should I tell you?" "However, I see you have natural prowess—ideal for being a servant." "How about this: follow me, and your exceptional talents won't go to waste." Her words sparked anger in you, and you retorted. "If you want me as your servant, show me you have what it takes!" With that, you summoned the Yin Soul Lantern, whose power had greatly increased after devouring a ghost king, releasing thick black energy toward Meng Hongshang. Meng Hongshang’s eyes widened, and with a simple blow from her mouth, the black energy reversed course, emitting a faint whimper from the Yin Soul Lantern. "Bold lad, thinking a broken artifact could confront me!" “Yet it's quite fortunate you’ve managed to capture a ghost king." Listening to her assessment of your Yin Soul Lantern, you realized the vast power gap between you and her—the ease with which she could crush you like an ant. Not wishing to suffer pointless harm and eager to reunite with Nangong Liuli in the future, you conceded. “Peach Blossom Maiden, I will be your servant.” “I will do whatever you ask.” Meng Hongshang smiled triumphantly. “A perceptive young lad.” "Forget that girl you fancy; her destiny is far beyond what someone of your demonic path could dream to possess." Though you silently disagreed, you gave an outward show of submission to Meng Hongshang. “Yes, Peach Blossom Maiden.” “Follow me, then.” With those words, Meng Hongshang produced a fragrance pouch embroidered with peach blossoms. “Let’s go!” The next moment, you felt enveloped by a cloud of pink mist. Before you could fully comprehend, you found yourself amidst a peach mountain. Everywhere you looked, the groves were filled with blossoming peach flowers, creating a stunning spectacle. Ahead stood a pavilion over the water, adorned in pastel hues of pink. Meng Hongshang glanced at you with an oblique look. "You’ve arrived at my Peach Mountain; don’t think of leaving." “I’m about to refine some pills. Go to the back mountain and chop 10 bundles of peach wood for me.” “And don’t think of escaping—I’ve laid a peach blossom formation all around. You’ll be trapped here forever if you try.” With that, she handed you an axe and departed. Staring at the axe in your hands, then at the scene starkly different from Tianzhu Mountain, a deep sense of melancholy filled your heart. You wondered when you would see Nangong Liuli again. Yet adapting had always been your strength since crossing over. Soon, you managed to establish yourself on Peach Mountain. Through careful inquiry, you learned the reason Meng Hongshang was at Tianzhu Mountain. She too knew a great treasure would emerge there, but not being fated for it, she lay in wait, ready to kill the destined possessor and claim the treasure. Unexpectedly, Nangong Liuli, with powers surpassing Meng Hongshang's 350 years of cultivation, easily acquired the treasure-binding Immortal Rope. The Immortal Rope could bind gods, spirits, and immortals. Caught off guard, Meng Hongshang was ensnared by it but had managed to unleash the Peach Blossom Miasma before being fully bound. This left Nangong Liuli poisoned, unable to strike against her. Eventually, Nangong Liuli neutralized the poison and left Tianzhu Mountain. Upon learning the full story, you felt joy for Nangong Liuli. However, Meng Hongshang noticed your mood and, irritated, ordered you to chop wood. She couldn't fathom how someone like you—so madly devoted, could exist in this world. She warned you that Nangong Liuli, a Seven Yin Absolute Body, naturally lacked typical emotions, loving her would only bring a lifetime of suffering. You paid no heed, believing that with sincerity and persistence, you could melt Nangong Liuli’s heart even if it meant pursuing her to the celestial realms. Meng Hongshang, irate upon hearing your thoughts, kicked you to the ground, placing her embroidered pink shoe upon your face. “How can someone like you exist in this world?” “If you keep this up, I’ll toss you into the Peach Blossom Pond to feed the fish!” Though you murmured in response, the shoe pressing upon your mouth and nose prevented you from speaking, yet your eyes were full of unyielding determination.
