Dao Companion Crippled, Coveters Move

Chapter 83 - 82: The Business Saintess's Method to Control the Giant Sun Saint Body

"Business Saintess, I recall you promised not to bother me for at least three days, didn't you?"

Pei Yuhang made no effort to be pleasant.

'After all that's happened, what was there left to fear?'

From the other side of the Transmission Token came the sound of splashing water. It seemed a beautiful woman was bathing, and the suggestive sounds of her movements in the water sparked the imagination.

[Xiaohan, Miaoyan is a woman of her word. I said I wouldn't force you to do anything you dislike for three days, and I certainly won't go back on my promise.]

[I've come this time to bring you some good news. Trust me, this will be of great benefit to your cultivation path.]

"Not interested."

Pei Yuhang immediately cut the connection, showing no sign of being tempted by Shang Miaoyan's ploy.

'He'd seen right through Shang Miaoyan's tricks. It was nothing more than her using "treasures" to entice him, leading him further and further into depravity.'

Now that Liyuan's health was improving and his two disciples had each found their own fortunes, he felt there was no longer any need to greedily make deals with the devil.

He had already broken his own physical boundaries in his past few deals with the devil... If this continued, Pei Yuhang couldn't bear to imagine what else he might lose.

'At the very least, he could not yield an inch of his mental defenses!'

......

Inside the Yin Yang Sacred Land Envoy Mansion, within a hall decorated entirely with exquisite Jade Bricks.

Demurely dressed Maids played a pleasant, elegant melody on stringed instruments.

The hot steam from the Spiritual Spring coalesced into a hazy mist. Illuminated by the crystal chandeliers overhead, the mist swirled with a myriad of colors. Through the haze, the slender figures of two peerless beauties added a tantalizing and seductive ripple to the atmosphere.

It should have been a scene of unparalleled beauty and tranquil enjoyment.

But soon, a loud splash shattered the pleasant, comfortable atmosphere. The Maids trembled, daring not to continue their performance.

Wrapped in a pure white bath towel that concealed her charms, Fan Ya gave the Maids a look. As if a great weight had been lifted, the Maids hurriedly gathered their instruments and left.

Once all the attendants had departed, Shang Miaoyan's furious voice rang out.

"Pei Yuhang, how dare you hang up on me!"

Shang Miaoyan rose from the Spiritual Spring. As the towel slid down her skin, smooth as milk, she crushed the Transmission Token in her hand to dust in a fit of rage, scattering the remains onto the water's surface.

But even in her fury, Shang Miaoyan was so beautiful that Fan Ya, a woman herself, found her breath catching in her throat.

The Saintess emerged from the water like a blossoming lotus. Countless crystalline droplets trickled down her skin, which was flushed a rosy pink from the heat of the Spiritual Spring.

If those droplets possessed consciousness, knowing they were tracing the most beautiful curves in existence, they would surely fall to their demise in the pool below with no regrets.

Fan Ya stepped forward, picked up the bath towel, and draped it over Shang Miaoyan once more, concealing the most beautiful sight in the world.

"Holy Daughter, please quell your anger. After what happened yesterday with him... it's only natural for Young Master Pei to be a bit emotional right now."

Fan Ya handed her a new Transmission Token, already prepared to offer another should this one meet the same fate.

"Hmph. If Xiaohan is going to bully me today, I'll just have to get my revenge on 'little Xiaohan' twice over."

Muttering to herself, Shang Miaoyan reactivated the Transmission Token.

Soon, the connection was re-established.

As if afraid Pei Yuhang would hang up again, Shang Miaoyan dropped the pretense and got straight to the point.

"Wait, Pei Yuhang, don't hang up! Haven't you ever wanted to gain perfect control over your Giant Sun Saint Body?!"

After a moment of silence from the other side of the Transmission Token, Pei Yuhang's cool voice replied.

[What do you mean?]

Hearing the hesitation in Pei Yuhang's voice, Shang Miaoyan's own tone, as smooth and seductive as silk, couldn't help but take on a triumphant edge.

'Only Young Master Pei could bring out this girlish side of the Saintess,' Fan Ya couldn't help but sigh to herself.

'Looks like the Holy Daughter is in a great mood. I probably won't be called into her chambers tonight for her to... vent her frustrations…'

...…

[Xiaohan, you must have heard about the opening of the Secret Realm on the Mountain of No Beginning ten years ago, right? After all, it's rumored to contain a battlefield from ten thousand years ago, back when the Cultivation Realm was still in the Divine Desolate Era.]

"Of course I know that. Don't tell me you're about to say your Yin Yang Sacred Land found some Ancient Secret Technique in there to control the Giant Sun Saint Body?"

[You guessed it~]

"There's no way I'd believe you. Even my own master couldn't solve this problem."

[Just because the Nameless Daoist couldn't solve it doesn't mean the Cultivators of the Divine Desolate Era couldn't. After all, the Divine Desolate Era was the golden age of cultivator civilization. Their understanding of *the Dao* was much more profound than ours is now.

The fact that you didn't immediately hang up, Xiaohan, doesn't that prove you're already tempted?]

Pei Yuhang was silent.

The side effects of the Giant Sun Saint Body had been a problem that plagued him ever since he began his path of cultivation.

Now, Shang Miaoyan had given him a glimmer of hope. Even if it was most likely fake, he did indeed want to hear her out.

'Pei Yuhang sighed inwardly. He really was a greedy man. He'd sworn off making deals with the devil, yet when faced with a temptation that targeted his deepest desires... he couldn't resist.'

As Pei Yuhang remained silent, the Witch, Shang Miaoyan, continued her temptation.

[Xiaohan, you haven't shared a bed with her since Sister Ye's... incident, have you? You figured her frail, sickly body couldn't take it, so you decided to let her recover first.]

[But you also know that even if Sister Ye fully recovers, you still won't be able to share a bed. Because Sister Ye is starting her cultivation over from the Qi Refining Stage, the gap in your Cultivation levels is too great. You can't control your Evil Yang Fire Qi, and it will corrupt her still-tender Dao Foundation.]

[Wow, come to think of it, you and Sister Ye might not be able to share a bed for the next hundred years! To be Dao Companions, yet unable to even share a bed~]

[Of course, you don't have to worry about it, Xiaohan. After all, Miaoyan will be here to help you~]

[But Sister Ye will probably suffer, won't she? She's a normal woman, after all... She has the most handsome, caring, and responsible White-clothed Sword Immortal in all the land by her side, but all she can do is watch helplessly, unable to even fulfill the most basic duty of a Dao Companion.]

"Shang Miaoyan. I don't want to hear Liyuan's name come out of your mouth."

Pei Yuhang cut the Witch off, his voice laced with bone-chilling coldness.

[Ooh, Xiaohan's angry... Okay, okay, I'll get down to business.]

[The Secret Technique that the Cultivators of our Yin Yang Sacred Land found in the Secret Realm of No Beginning is said to have come from a grand patriarch of the Divine Desolate Era. That powerful expert also possessed the Giant Sun Saint Body and cultivated the Yin Yang Dao... Legend says he took one hundred thousand consorts and eventually attained the Dao and ascended to immortality.]

"So, this so-called Secret Technique of yours for perfectly controlling the Giant Sun Saint Body... it's just a dual cultivation Magic Technique?!"

'Pei Yuhang's voice was laced with wariness. He was sure Shang Miaoyan was trying to trick him. "Perfectly controlling the Giant Sun Saint Body" was just an excuse for her to get what she wanted!'

[Xiaohan, you're always welcome at my mansion. With your level of insight, wouldn't you be able to tell if it's real or not by trying it for yourself?]

[If you can perfectly control your Giant Sun Saint Body, it's not just a blessing for you, but a huge opportunity for Sister Ye. With the help of your Pure Yang Fire Qi, she could probably return to the Divinity Transformation Stage very quickly, saving her decades of bitter cultivation.

Such a huge opportunity... are you really willing to let it go, Xiaohan?]
