The Invincible Supreme Medical God

Chapter 1353 699: Two Women Who Despise Each Other (Part 2)

Bai Xiaochun hesitated for a moment, but ultimately realized he could do nothing. Gritting his teeth, he walked out of the Immortal Cave. The Blood Stream Sect elder glared at him, clearly displeased with Yan Xiaobao's slowness. He snorted coldly and gestured upward with his finger.

Bai Xiaochun followed closely behind, contemplating how to handle the situation. As he followed the blood-thirsty elder to Song Junwan's Immortal Cave, his sense of tension only heightened.

The land was vast and covered with crimson roses, their fragrance permeating the air. In the area, nine blood waterfalls could be seen, pouring into a Blood Lake. A stone path led across the water to the area behind the waterfalls, where a mysterious Immortal Cave lay hidden.

Only after passing through the waterfall could the dark entrance of the Immortal Cave truly be seen. Four young attendants stood silently at guard. In the waters of the Blood Lake, strange fish could be seen swimming. When they occasionally leapt from the water, their fierce teeth and rotating fins could be glimpsed before they splashed back out of sight.

"Enter, the Great Elder is waiting for you," the Blood Stream Sect elder said calmly, then sat cross-legged to the side.

Bai Xiaochun looked around nervously. Of course, the knowledge that this place was his ultimate goal in the Blood Stream Sect did not elude him. The Eternal Indestructible Relic was located beneath this Immortal Cave.

He sighed, treading carefully along the path, his heart pounding in his chest. Eventually, he passed through the waterfall, arriving before the door.

The four young attendants looked at him coldly, but said nothing.

Yan Xiaobao gritted his teeth, trying to believe that the ancestors would know who he was, so if Song Junwan wanted to act against him, they would surely intervene. After all, he had completed the Reverse Blood Inheritance!

He cleared his throat, clenched his hands, and bowed his head.

"Nightcrypt greets you, Big Sis Song."

In response, Song Junwan's voice floated out from within the Immortal Cave, "Come in."

Her voice sounded as endearing to Bai Xiaochun as ever, yet it also carried a subtly sinister undertone. He had no choice but to brace himself, pushing open the door and entering.

As he stepped into the lavishly decorated Immortal Cave, a faint fragrance greeted him. The ceiling was inlaid with glowing pearls, and the floor shimmered like a green gemstone. The area was filled with powerful qi and abundant spiritual energy, making everything appear hazy.

There was no telling how many side chambers existed, but in the center of the grand hall was a hot spring, steam rising into the air. A woman floated in the water, her body almost invisible beneath the surface. As she swayed back and forth, she almost appeared like a mermaid, her curves so striking that Yan Xiaobao's tongue immediately sticked to the roof of his mouth.

"Stay calm!" he thought. "You won't get away with it even with Bai Xiaochun! You can't fool me. This is clearly a trap. If I stare at you, you'll accuse me of offending you!" Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to look away and resisted looking at her.

"Come on in!" Song Junwan said. Yan Xiaobao walked forward, keeping his head down, until he was at the edge of the water. Unable to look down, he lifted his gaze to study the glowing pearls overhead. With a melancholic expression, he could almost barely see her body from the corner of his eye. Trembling with emotion, he cursed her again as a vixen.

Song Junwan could see what he was doing and giggled flirtatiously. Then, as she swam to the edge of the hot spring and stepped out, ripples could be heard. Draping a crimson robe over herself, she approached Yan Xiaobao and reached out with jade-like fingers to lift his chin.

"What's wrong, little brother Nightcrypt? No lewd stares today?" Her breath smelled like orchids, and considering how close she was, it was impossible for him not to see her creamy skin. It was an incredibly alluring scene, almost indescribable in words. Anyone observing her in such circumstances would certainly be struck dumb.

Her eyes glittered like spring rain, both deep and endlessly captivating. Gazing into them seemed as if one might get eternally lost in their abyss, unable to think, unable to free oneself.

Song Junwan gracefully leaned in, gently breathed into Yan Xiaobao's ear, and her warm breath sent shivers all the way to his bones and even his soul.

He could almost not bear it. Trembling with the intense stimulation, he even began to pant. By now, his eyes were bloodshot. Song Junwan seemed to smile, but in her eyes, there was a trace of disdain and coldness. Just as she was about to say something else...

Bai Xiaochun took a few steps back. Instead of looking up at the ceiling, he gazed directly into her eyes. His own eyes were bloodshot, his face contorted almost as if in pain.

"Great Elder," he almost snarled, "please reveal yourself!" Disappointment flashed in his eyes, like a heart-wrenching sorrow. He seemed almost unable to believe what he was seeing. Song Junwan, who was about to speak, suddenly stared at him in shock, the coldness in her eyes melting away.

"Elder, in my heart, you are as pure as the moon in the sky, forever sacred, so beautiful that even from afar, people envy you." His face looked pained, though his words were gentle, they filled the entire Immortal Cave. "Great Elder, I refuse to believe what Xue Mei said. Not at all. In my heart, you are as pure as a lotus, something the filth of the world cannot even approach. You are as beautiful as a sea fairy, completely beyond the grime of the surrounding world!" As he became more passionate, his gaze filled with even greater anguish.

"Great Elder, let me tell you what kind of person you are in my heart. I dream of you day and night. You are the eternal haven of my soul, the ideal immortal goddess, the pure sacred thing I must protect for a lifetime." Yan Xiaobao's sorrow and despair shook him, his inner sense of disappointment transforming into a sort of maddened explosion, as if it had been suppressed for too long.

He twisted his sleeve, emitting a chilling aura as if he could no longer contain it. It was like he had climbed a mountain of corpses, waded through a sea of blood to reach his position. Even his steel veins began to manifest. "I, Nightcrypt, cannot even calculate how many people I've killed in my life. I've tried my best. I've lost my connection to humanity, to emotions, to passion. I'm like an empty shell, containing nothing but slaughter and a cruel coldness. Yet, in the emptiness, there is a spark. When I first laid eyes on you, that spark ignited, Great Elder."

Song Junwan's beautiful body trembled uncontrollably. As she stared into Bai Xiaochun's eyes filled with disappointment, she seemed almost in a daze. They were filled with pain and sorrow, as if the beautiful and sacred thing he was entirely reliant upon had crumbled. As if his entire world had collapsed and now he was descending into hysteria.

"I didn't choose Middle Peak, Elder, I chose... you!

"You talk about my lascivious gaze, but you've misunderstood. I have never looked at you that way. Every time I look at you, I just want to protect you.

At this moment, he shouted, "Great Elder, the person standing before me now is not you!

"Put on your clothes! Turn your face away! Enough flirting. I want to see the Song Junwan of purity and integrity in my heart, the person my Nightcrypt longs to protect throughout my life. Return to me, for you are the light of my life..." From Bai Xiaochun's contorted expression, he looked on the verge of madness. His roars echoed in the Immortal Cave, causing the hot spring water to vibrate. It seemed as if he was venting his deepest emotions.

The impostor Nightcrypt was stunned by his gaze, shocked by Yan Xiaobao's demeanor, for his words' authenticity and sincerity of emotion startled him.

The Immortal Cave was silent for a moment, but then Yan Xiaobao began to laugh hoarsely. It sounded disappointed and hurt, he quietly turned to leave, making sure not to look at Song Junwan.

He was trembling, though it was out of fear. From the moment he stepped into the Immortal Cave, he sensed the unseen chill within, realizing that everything he had planned along the way wouldn't work.

He could only improvise. When Song Junwan emerged from the water, he knew he had to be extra cautious, lest everything fall apart.

"This stinking prank is downright evil!" Yan Xiaobao truly felt as if he had reached the end of his rope. How could he have foreseen Song Junwan being so malicious? Clearly, she knew the Clan Leader favored him, and that he was also renowned within the sect. That was why she chose to use this tactic against him.
