Li Xuan had an incredibly long dream. In it, he rode the Jade Qilin through a battlefield, battling furiously. He swung his waist knife around repeatedly, slashing at his enemies.

Eventually, he triumphed over his adversaries and established a great kingdom. However, it was destroyed by a catastrophic, uncontrolled flood.

Undeterred, Li Xuan again mounted his horse and swung his knife to quell rebellions and restore order. But just as the world was becoming peaceful and prosperous once again, the weather turned and another torrential rain fell. Dragons and snakes rose from the waters, destroying all of Li Xuan’s achievements again.

After four cycles of this, Li Xuan found his whole body felt refreshed and relaxed, with no remnants of the previous stifling sensation. However, he had also lost his steed.

Unhappy and unsatisfied, Li Xuan began to search everywhere for his lost horse, getting increasingly anxious when he couldn’t find her. Then, he abruptly woke up and regained consciousness.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself shackled with dozens of chains in a hall.

Wondering what was going on, how he had ended up chained, he noticed that his trousers were pulled down to his thighs, and there were signs of carnal action, including some blood.

Five meters across the hall, the Jade Qilin lay on her side, transformed into a dragon-horse shape. Her head laid weakly on the ground, looking utterly despondent.

Li Xuan was stunned for a long time before he realized he must have experienced quite a stormy night.

Considering he was completely chained up, it seemed likely someone had...

That person was quite shameless, not bothering to clean up after doing such things.

After cursing under his breath, Li Xuan began to wonder who it could’ve been.

Looking at the blood trails, it couldn’t have been Xue Yunrou, or Luo Yan, Yu Hongchang, Yue Qianqian, let alone Jiang Hanyun.

Li Xuan was sure he knew these girls very well and since they had already found solutions for the medicinal power within him, they wouldn’t ’sacrifice’ themselves just to help him find relief.

Li Xuan looked around the hall, and was shocked to find it was heavily fortified with protective arrays.

It seemed Xue Yunrou and the others had set up these intensive protective arrays on the outer walls of the hall to ensure his safety. Twenty-four high-grade magical instruments were used to suppress the arrays.

Among them were Xue Yunrou’s magical instrument, the ’Umbrella of Yin Yuan’, Yu Hongchang’s ’Taoheng Xuanji’, Luo Yan’s backup ’Hongxiu Knife’ and Yue Qianqian’s ’Tongling Jade’.

Only Jiang Hanyun, a pure Wu Cultivator, had no magical instrument here.

—In other words, these girls would know about anyone entering or leaving.

Li Xuan was even more surprised, wondering who could’ve snuck under these girls’ noses to make love with him?

This "someone" was really impressive—

While admiring this mystery, Li Xuan caught sight of the Jade Qilin laying at a distance of five meters.

Then, a ridiculous idea crossed his mind, causing his whole body to stiffen in place.

No! No!

There was another possibility; his partner from last night might not necessarily be a human—

Could it be? Could it be? Had he unconsciously achieved the ultimate feat of riding—achieving unity with his steed?

Could he have followed in the footsteps of Officer Cao from the Major Case Department?

Li Xuan’s face turned pale, his limbs went weak, and he dropped to his knees. Copious sweat began to drip from his forehead, forming a waterfall.

He thought to himself, ’Li Xuan, Li Xuan, you’ve really crossed a line this time!’

He could accept a ’commingling of life and death’, since there were precedents like Ning Caichen, whose tales were still sung about. Even ’dragon-riding knights’ were acceptable, considering there were veterans like Liu Yi who’d romanced a Dragon Maiden.

But what was this unity with his horse?

Li Xuan began studying seriously how large a hole he needed to dig to bury himself.

He felt so embarrassed, he wished he could die. Then it’d be all over—

"What are you kneeling there for?" The figure of Lv Qiluo appeared in front of him, her eyes full of confusion. "Why are you acting like you’re at death’s door?"

Upon seeing her, Li Xuan was stunned. Then, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes. Just as one would grasp at a lifeline, he grabbed Lv Qiluo’s leg, "Lady Lv, it was you last night, wasn’t it? Surely it was. Hehe, I knew it. I, Li Xuan, could never do such a thing."

This result was simply the best possible outcome. It was not only a ’commingling of life and death’ but also with a ’legal lolita’, though she might be a bit older.

However, in this mysterious world, Li Xuan didn’t really mind the age difference.

"Get off!" Lv Qiluo retreated by a meter, blushing slightly, "Who would do such a shameful thing with you?"

At her words, the Jade Qilin, who was laying nearby, trembled, looking even more dispirited.

Li Xuan came close to falling into the abyss of despair, his eyes were lost, "If not Lady Lv, then who could it be? This is impossible, ordinary people can’t get into this secret room."

Then his eyes narrowed again, holding out his last shred of hope, he asked, "Would you please tell me, was it a man or a horse last night?"

At the moment he uttered this, Li Xuan felt his level of shame exploding, his face flushing with embarrassment.

Lv Qiluo was a little ticked off at first, but when she saw Li Xuan’s appearance, she couldn’t help laughing, "How should I put it? It’s not appropriate to say it was a human—"

After those words, she saw Li Xuan’s Primordial Spirit nearly dispersed, his eyes lost their sparkle, he was already in a state of wandering on the bounds of heaven, Lv Qiluo’s mouth once again formed a smile, "But it’s also definitely not a horse, it’s more accurate to say it was a saint."

Li Xuan’s soul returned, as long as it was not a horse, he could accept it grudgingly. He looked at Lv Qiluo in surprise, "Really? You’re not fooling me, are you?"

"What would I gain from lying to you?" Lv Qiluo snorted coldly, "When have I ever tricked you?"

Li Xuan couldn’t help but take a deep breath, thinking that for now, Lv Qiluo’s credibility seemed to be very reliable.

He felt as if he had revived again, began rubbing his chin and fell into contemplation, "A saint? So, this person is at the heavenly level?"

Li Xuan thought that this made sense, ordinary people could not get into this place. Presumably, this person was skilled in Arrays and Divine Skills, and thus able to freely come and go from this place.

So he switched tones, "Lady Lv, you should have seen her appearance, right? Who exactly is coveting my beauty?"

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the Jade Qilin make a retching noise, seemingly wanting to vomit.

Li Xuan glanced at it without noticing, this Jade Qilian was far from the word saint.

"It is indeed a heavenly being, how should I put it?"

Lv Qiluo cast a sidelong glance at the Jade Qilin beside her, "In a word, it’s hard to say, I don’t want to say, and I won’t say."

Li Xuan’s brow furrowed immediately, then he heard Lv Qiluo say, "You don’t need to be concerned, if she wants, she can appear before you at any time."

At this time, she turned her head slightly, a look of disgust pointing towards Li Xuan’s lower body, "On the other hand, can you tidy yourself up now? It’s too unsightly. Also, your friends are on their way here, do you plan to let them see you like this?"

Li Xuan’s expression panicked, he quickly tidied up his lower body, and got rid of the evidence. He also took out a pair of pants from his Sumi Ring to change into.

——Luckily, Xue Yunrou and the others didn’t confiscate his Sumi Ring.

Although his arm was shackled, he could still manipulate Hao Qi, it was convenient to use, even more flexible than his own hand.

As for the pair of pants he took off, Li Xuan hesitated for a moment, but still decided to store them in his Sumi Ring.

By the time Li Xuan finished tidying up the scene, the thick heavy door in front opened with a rumble.

Xue Yunrou and the others entered one after the other, walking in from outside the door.

"Xuan, you’re awake?" Xue Yunrou saw Li Xuan, was pleased at first, then asked with some worry, "How are you feeling? Do you feel any better?"

But as she said this, her expression suddenly froze and she looked at her lover with some uncertainty.

Xue Yunrou noticed that Li Xuan’s face had lost its previous flushed color, and his eyes had regained their clarity.

But what happened? According to her understanding of Daoist techniques, there was no possible way that this Array could have resolved Li Xuan’s internal issues overnight.

The ten-day timeline suggested by Yue Qianqian was actually a bit optimistic. In Xue Yunrou’s estimation, it would take at least ten to fifteen days.

There was only one possibility for this situation – someone helped Li Xuan, dissipating the medicinal power —

Following closely was Yu Hongchang. Seeing Li Xuan’s appearance, she was also momentarily stunned, "Xuan, has your medicinal power subsided?"

She then turned to look with suspicious eyes at several women, including Xue Yunrou.

Her immediate reaction was that one of the girls in the room had come in and ’sneaked a taste’ last night.

——This was not impossible. Yue Qianqian was the designer of the entire Array. Luo Yan was unmatched in the art of illusion, and Xue Yunrou had obtained many treasures after inheriting the position of Young Heavenly Master.

The magical instruments they left behind could be used for convenience.

Among the five girls, only Jiang Hanyun, who was not versed in technique, was truly innocent.

"You... "

After taking one look at Li Xuan, Luo Yan also furrowed her brows and looked at the women present, suspecting that someone had secretly entered the side hall last night and had an affair with Li Xuan.

At this moment, Luo Yan felt that the faces of the women were all somewhat unfamiliar, and even innocent looking Yue Qianqian next to her seemed a bit fox-like.

Li Xuan acted nonchalant and smiled at the girls, "I’m feeling quite well now, fortunately, you set up this Array, otherwise, I would definitely be driven mad by the medicine. I can help to unlock it now, right? Don’t worry, I’m fine, I won’t go crazy again."

But when Xue Yunrou and the others saw his appearance, they all felt a sinking feeling. They knew Li Xuan well and knew what kind of expression he made when he wanted to deceive them.

Something must have happened here last night, and it was something Li Xuan definitely didn’t want them to know about—
