Chapter 686: Can't Understand!? (3rd Update)
"Red Flower Palace, Zhuo Pingting."
Lu Ziyi raised her hand in front of Qin Heng. Her eyes warily watched the woman as she asked, "What do you want!?"
The surrounding crowd erupted in alarm.
"What?! Red Flower Palace?!"
"Damn it! People from the Red Flower Palace have targeted Qin Xuantian?!"
"This is bad! Really bad! Everyone, fall back! Quick!"
Everyone around exclaimed in alarm. The men, in particular, all lowered their heads, not daring to even glance at the seductive beauty from the Red Flower Palace, avoiding her like the plague.
"Hahaha! Jade Pool Saintess, are you perhaps jealous?" Zhuo Pingting feigned surprise. Her beautiful eyes widened as she looked at Lu Ziyi with an incredulous expression. With a meaningful smile, she added, "Could it be that you, the pure Saintess of the Jade Pool from Tian Mountain, have also developed worldly desires?"
"Nonsense! If you dare spout such drivel again, I won't be so courteous!" Lu Ziyi's pretty face flushed red, a mix of anger and shyness. She glared fiercely at Zhuo Pingting before turning to Qin Heng and saying, "The Red Flower Palace is a legacy left by an Immortal Emperor from 160,000 years ago. Even now, it's considered a rather powerful Ancient Divine Sect. They are skilled in the Method of Yang Replenishment and keep countless male pets in their palace. You must be careful."
"Method of Yang Replenishment? Saintess, you shouldn't slander people without cause," Zhuo Pingting quickly waved her hand, explaining to Qin Heng, "That is clearly the Dual Cultivation Method of my Red Flower Palace. Little Brother Xuantian, I can see your Innate Yang Qi is still intact. You must have never tasted the exquisite pleasure of a woman's body, let alone the joy of dual cultivation, the bliss of intimacy. You haven't even stepped into the Semi-Saint Realm yet, and that's most likely related to this. Without experiencing the mysteries between a man and a woman, without knowing the harmony of Yin and Yang... Little Brother Xuantian, in your current state, it's extremely difficult to enter the Semi-Saint Realm, do you understand? Come with me now. We'll find a secluded place and bathe together. This will absolutely allow your Cultivation Realm to advance by leaps and bounds!"
Zhuo Pingting's gaze feigned innocence, yet her eyes brimmed with suggestive glances. Her pretty face was flushed crimson. She parted her lips slightly, exhaling warmth, and swayed her alluring figure, looking at Qin Heng with a confident smile.
She didn't think Qin Heng would refuse. A beautiful woman like her taking the initiative to invite a man to spend the night would almost never be refused. Besides, the temptation she had just offered was enough to hook most peak Innate Martial Artists. As for helping Qin Heng break through his Cultivation Realm, that was pure nonsense. Just as Lu Ziyi had said, the Red Flower Palace's foundational techniques, passed down since ancient times, were indeed the Method of Yang Replenishment and the Art of Charm used to beguile men. Throughout history, the Palace had kept innumerable male pets and harvested countless talented individuals. Zhuo Pingting coveted Qin Heng's exceptional strength and his appearance. In her eyes, he was an "Immortal Elixir" of immense harvesting value. The Red Flower Palace specialized in this harvesting, classifying their male pets into six grades: Snack, Minor Tonic, Major Tonic, Minor Elixir, Major Elixir, and Immortal Elixir. Among these, an Immortal Elixir was a top-grade male pet, highly sought after but rarely found. In Zhuo Pingting's eyes, this Qin Xuantian, hailed as the greatest prodigy of all time, was undoubtedly an Immortal Elixir. She was determined to have him!
"Scram," Qin Heng said indifferently.
He didn't even spare Zhuo Pingting a second glance, as if not wanting his eyes to be sullied by such trash. His expression was one of utter disgust.
"What?!" Zhuo Pingting froze, her expression one of stunned disbelief. She stared at Qin Heng, never having imagined she would receive such a response.
She had been so confident, believing Qin Heng couldn't possibly refuse. After all, while speaking, she had already employed the Art of Charm. With her current Cultivation Realm, combined with her looks and figure, no Martial Artist below the Saint level should have been able to resist! What was wrong with this Qin Xuantian?!
"Zhuo Pingting, did you hear him?" Lu Ziyi said. "You can leave now."
She was very vigilant. It wasn't that she had developed any deep feelings for Qin Heng; they had only known each other for a few days. She simply wanted to battle Qin Heng when he was at his peak to determine who was superior. If this enchantress from the Red Flower Palace affected Qin Heng's condition, it would be very detrimental.
"I think... Little Brother Xuantian just hasn't thought things through, has he?" Zhuo Pingting said, her seductive eyes like silk, her cheeks flushed, looking utterly alluring. She swayed her delicate body. Her light gauze shifted, partially concealing her boundless beauty in a hazy veil that only enhanced its allure, causing many men in the crowd to stare transfixed. "Little Brother Xuantian, won't you reconsider?" Zhuo Pingting suddenly bypassed Lu Ziyi and moved behind Qin Heng. Her voice was soft and breathy, like a woman at the peak of excitement, sending tremors through the hearts of those who heard it.
At the same time, she raised her smooth, pale hand, gently touching Qin Heng's shoulder. She then wrapped her arm around him, pressing her entire body against his back. True Qi surged within Zhuo Pingting. She exhaled a pink mist from her lips, which entwined around Qin Heng's ears and cheeks as she whispered with palpable excitement, "Little Brother Xuantian, can you feel it? I truly want to be with you. All my beauty will be yours. Don't you yearn for it? Little Brother Xuan—"
BOOM!!
Suddenly, a sound like a bomb detonating erupted. An immensely powerful shockwave spread outwards, creating violent ripples of force within a radius of over ten meters. It was as if a Tornado had suddenly burst forth from Qin Heng's body, blasting out in all directions! The power was terrifyingly immense!
Zhuo Pingting, who had been pressing against Qin Heng, was sent flying backward by the force! This woman, whom many men considered an unparalleled beauty, shot backward as if struck by a speeding maglev train. She flew over a hundred meters, the red light around her body flickering as it tried to absorb the impact. This was her Semi-Saint phantom!
"Trash. Why are you pressing yourself against me?" Qin Heng snorted coldly. "I told you to scram. Didn't you understand?"
BOOM!!
As soon as Qin Heng finished speaking, the red light enveloping Zhuo Pingting exploded. Bright red flowers bloomed in midair, only to rapidly disintegrate into dust!
Her Semi-Saint phantom! Instantly shattered!
Then, her entire body plummeted, crashing to the ground and carving out a crater over ten meters in radius!
Silence.
Complete and utter silence!
Everyone stared at Qin Heng, dumbfounded and utterly shocked. Even Lu Ziyi was visibly surprised.
Zhuo Pingting of the Red Flower Palace was a renowned Semi-Saint! She even counted several Semi-Saints among her paramours and subjugated men, all of whom she had 'harvested.' This alone spoke volumes of her formidable strength!
Qin Xuantian was known to be incredibly powerful. If he had defeated Zhuo Pingting in a direct confrontation, the onlookers wouldn't have been overly surprised, especially since the master of the Star Palace had just fallen by his hand.
But!
But Qin Xuantian hadn't even lifted a finger! He had sent the enchantress Zhuo Pingting flying, shattered her Semi-Saint phantom, and left her severely injured on the spot, all without visibly moving!
What kind of terrifying strength was this?!
