Dao Companion Crippled, Coveters Move

Chapter 159 - 158: Senior Sister's Hypnotic Magic

"Senior Sister, why haven't I seen Xiaoxuan since I got here?"

"Xiaoxuan? My Pill Boy? I didn't realize you and her were so close, Junior Brother Pei..."

Lu Ruoxi spoke calmly, but her beautiful eyes narrowed.

"She's a cute and interesting kid, after all."

Pei Yuhang was completely oblivious, little knowing that his praise would later lead Lu Fairy to punish Xiaoxuan with ten times the usual amount of alchemy work.

"I see. Sixuan is busy with alchemy right now. She won't have any free time to come out for the next few days."

After speaking, Lu Ruoxi took out a scroll that could teleport them to the alchemy room in her Grotto Heaven Blessed Land. "Junior Brother Pei," she said, "you're going to help me with my alchemy now. You must focus all your attention on me, and don't think about anyone else, okay?"

"Yes, don't worry, Senior Sister. I'll devote myself completely to assisting your cultivation."

Lu Ruoxi gave a radiant smile. She took Pei Yuhang's hand and activated the Teleportation Scroll. After a disorienting tug of spatial distortion, they opened their eyes to find themselves in a magnificent hall. In the center of the hall stood an exquisite, emerald-green alchemy furnace, its extraordinary quality apparent at a single glance.

"Junior Brother Pei, do you remember how you assisted my cultivation during the last Sect tournament?"

Hearing this, Pei Yuhang's thoughts were pulled back to that intimate memory.

The sensual scene was still vivid in his mind: his Senior Sister poised before him, beads of fragrant sweat dripping from her body as he continuously infused his Pure Yang True Qi into hers...

"That... Of course, I remember."

"Good. Cultivating the Supreme Alchemy Method 'Body Furnace' is arduous work. Thankfully, your innate fire is vigorous, Junior Brother Pei. It's truly my good fortune to have met you."

As Lu Ruoxi spoke, she slowly slid off her magnificent, hundred-feathered cyan dress. With the soft sound of the garment falling to the floor, the entire alchemy room became tinged with a fresh fragrance.

Having been through this before, Pei Yuhang knew the procedure. He averted his gaze, not looking directly at his Senior Sister's smooth, jade-like back. He silently chanted the Calming Spell to steady his mind and avoid embarrassing himself in front of his respected Senior Sister.

However, just as Pei Yuhang was preparing to infuse his Senior Sister with Pure Yang True Qi as he had before...

Lu Ruoxi slowly parted her shapely yet slender legs and walked toward her alchemy furnace magical artifact, whispering, "Junior Brother Pei, what are you standing there stunned for?"

"You should take off your outer clothes, too."

"?!"

Pei Yuhang was shocked. For a moment, he wondered if he had misheard.

"Junior Brother, after our preliminary cultivation last time, I discovered that infusing Pure Yang True Qi into my Dantian by hand to assist my internal furnace flame isn't efficient enough."

"After some improvements I've made recently, I've come up with a more efficient cultivation method. By using the alchemy furnace to refine and merge our energies, our Spiritual Qi can be synchronized with high efficiency. This reduces the repulsion between them, prevents any waste of Pure Yang True Qi, and thereby increases the effectiveness."

"To put it simply... you need to take off your clothes, Junior Brother, and sit with me in the medicinal bath inside the alchemy furnace. We will cultivate while bathing together."

After she finished speaking, Lu Ruoxi turned her charming, crimson-flushed face to Pei Yuhang and said, "Junior Brother, aren't you going to hurry up, take off your clothes, and come over?"

'Senior Sister wants me to cultivate by bathing with her?!'

Pei Yuhang froze. He was certain that Senior Sister Lu hadn't told Liyuan about this cultivation method. Otherwise, Liyuan would never have urged him to come and help his Senior Sister cultivate.

Lu Ruoxi keenly sensed Pei Yuhang starting to back down; his single step backward was an unmistakable expression of his resistance.

After all, the thought of bathing with Junior Brother Pei was something that made even Lu Ruoxi feel unbearably shy when she imagined it late at night in her bed, let alone actually doing it...

It was only natural that Pei Yuhang couldn't accept it right away.

However, Lu Ruoxi was not without a plan for this.

Her fingers, hidden beneath her dress, silently formed a hand seal. Using the Tea of Love that Pei Yuhang had just drunk as a medium, she activated a certain hypnotic magic.

This magic was called the Forgetful Spell. Lu Ruoxi had seized it from a powerful expert of the Yin Yang Sacred Land on the battlefield of the great war between the righteous and demonic paths.

This magic used the curser's hair or bodily fluids as a medium to silently plant psychological suggestions in the target, achieving a hypnotic effect.

While it lacked the overwhelming power of an Illusion Technique that could directly twist right and wrong, its strength lay in its silence. After numerous improvements by Lu Ruoxi, and with the aid of the Tea of Love specially concocted with her skills as an Alchemy Grandmaster, even an Unparalleled Sword Cultivator as perceptive as Pei Yuhang would fall for it.

Sure enough, as Lu Ruoxi formed the hand seal and cast the spell, Pei Yuhang immediately felt his head grow slightly drowsy. At the same time, he found the fragrance from his Senior Sister's body even more intoxicating.

Out of trust for his Senior Sister, Pei Yuhang didn't suspect she had done anything to him. He missed the one and only chance to come to his senses when the curse first took hold. As time passed, he would completely lose the ability to resist the Forgetful Spell.

Lu Ruoxi smiled sweetly as she saw the faint, pink, heart-shaped Curse Seal appear in Junior Brother Pei's eyes, knowing her spell had worked.

She slowly walked up to Pei Yuhang, her pink lips close to his ear as she blew a soft breath of air:

"It's just taking off your clothes. Why are you so hesitant and unwilling, Junior Brother Pei?"

"This is all for the sake of cultivation. I'm sure a magnanimous woman like Liyuan wouldn't mind... On the contrary, Junior Brother Pei, you've hesitated for so long. Could it be that your thoughts are impure, and you don't dare to bare your body and face me directly?"

A flicker of confusion crossed Pei Yuhang's face. He instinctively felt that what his Senior Sister said was wrong, but for some reason, he no longer felt it was such a terrible thing.

Finally, he slowly placed his hand on the buttons of his clothes and undid them one by one.

"I'm sorry, Senior Sister... I can't believe I didn't understand just now. Thinking about it, you're absolutely right. How can cultivation be shackled by such inconveniences?"

As he spoke, Pei Yuhang took off his white robes. Under Lu Ruoxi's expectant gaze, he revealed his strong, well-defined upper body muscles.

She looked at his masculine muscles, which were like a work of art sculpted by a master. She subconsciously wanted to reach out and caress them, but Pei Yuhang took a step back, dodging her "lecherous Fairy hand."

Only then did Lu Ruoxi realize she had almost ruined everything. The Forgetful Spell was a curse technique that caused the target to gradually fall into a state of self-hypnosis. The target still retained their own logic and couldn't be manipulated at will like someone under an Illusion Technique.

If she forcibly did something that went against Junior Brother Pei's cognitive logic, he would break free from the magic...

A sense of dread washed over Lu Ruoxi. She couldn't let Junior Brother Pei know she had cursed him. Once the truth was revealed, he would definitely cut ties with her and never want to see her again for the rest of his life. To Lu Ruoxi, this was a despair more terrifying than even the obliteration of her body and soul.

Meeting Pei Yuhang's confused gaze, she hurriedly explained:

"Junior Brother Pei, I just saw that the qi and blood in your body were too vigorous and wanted to help you check your physical condition... After all, it's not entirely a good thing for a male cultivator's qi and blood to be too abundant."

Hearing this, Pei Yuhang's worries dissipated. He smiled and explained, "Senior Sister, I have the Giant Sun Saint Body. It doesn't matter how vigorous my qi and blood are."

He took the initiative to walk toward the alchemy furnace, which was billowing with hot steam, and said, "Come on and bathe with me, Senior Sister. I will do everything in my power to help your cultivation."

"Alright. Then I'll have to trouble you, Junior Brother."

Lu Ruoxi looked at the now-proactive Pei Yuhang, her eyes scanning up and down his completely naked Sword Immortal's body.

Her throat couldn't help but bob, making a distinct gulping sound.

'Junior Brother Pei... this time, you're the one seducing me.'
