Chapter 1352: Chapter 1356: Master, Calm Down

In the past, it was purely admiration—add to that her beauty, sweet voice, and kind treatment of me—but it was never to the point of shaking my Dao heart. Now, Zhu Minglang felt like he had become just as impatient as those vulgar men in this plum forest.

What kind of joke is this!

Back then, when Nan Lingsha used the temptation of crimson allure to test my Dao heart, I didn’t lose. How could I possibly falter before the Weaver Star here?

It must be a spell!

And the problem probably lies with the Weaver Star herself.

She is the Goddess of Love, which means that as long as she uses her spells even slightly, no man in this world can resist her charm. They would kneel before her with ease.

But why would she cast a spell on me??

Aren’t we considered teacher and disciple?

Could it be that she is also tempering her Dao heart?

Is it a requirement before ascending to the rank of Moon Radiance God??

Using me as her training partner is far too challenging. What if I can’t hold myself back? How would we coexist properly afterward, seeing each other all the time?

Zhu Minglang couldn’t quite understand the Weaver Star Fairy’s actions.

However, no matter what her reasons were, Zhu Minglang ultimately needed to compose himself.

He couldn’t ruin his image as a "little scoundrel" for a fleeting moment of pleasure. He might be a little scoundrel, but he was not a total scumbag—he was someone with responsibilities!

Master Sister, I’m sorry. I know you’re very beautiful, very kind, your voice is sweet, your figure is amazing, and your skills are impressive, but we are not suited for each other. Even if it’s a fleeting tryst as temporary Dao companions, I cannot go against my conscience!

Retrieving an icy-cool spring water pouch from his Qiankun Bracelet, Zhu Minglang, with gritted teeth, splashed it onto the Weaver Star Fairy, who was playing her zither, hoping to help Master Sister calm down.

The Weaver Star Fairy was focusing her Divine Sense on observing something else, so the sudden splash of cold spring water caught her completely off guard.

There wasn’t much water—it only wet her cheeks and the collar of her robe. Her face appeared even more alluring with its mix of shock, confusion, and a faint blush of indignation!

"Master Sister, calm down. We’re truly not a good match," Zhu Minglang said.

The Weaver Star Fairy’s bright, wide eyes glared at him. She was on the verge of anger but, upon seeing Zhu Minglang’s earnest and innocent expression, she forced herself to take a deep breath.

Zhu Minglang noticed her chest heave dramatically, clearly an effort to suppress her fury.

"Look west! Use your Divine Sense to look!" the Weaver Star Fairy said curtly, enunciating each word.

Hearing her tone, Zhu Minglang was puzzled and turned to look west. Soon, his Divine Sense locked onto a couple at the edge of the flower field, previously seen embracing and passionately kissing...

The man seemed to be losing control of himself, his entire body red and blazing as if about to combust.

The woman portrayed the classic signs of tentative reluctance—you could tell at a glance she was deliberately provoking the man’s primal instincts. Her moonlit shadow swayed amidst the flowers, making the scene even more...

Huh? That woman’s shadow looked peculiar.

How could there be a tail???

At first, Zhu Minglang thought it was just the silhouette of a tall flower bundle, but upon closer inspection, he realized that under the moonlight, the woman actually had a cluster of tails!!

A demon!!

That woman was a demon!!!

It finally dawned on Zhu Minglang!

"A forbidden romance between human and demon. I noticed it earlier; I just didn’t intervene... That demon originates from Qing Fox Tianshan. She’ll lead us to the Ancestor of Sinful Fox," the Weaver Star Fairy finally explained coldly.

Zhu Minglang stood frozen, as if turned into a wooden figure.

He glanced at the Weaver Star Fairy and noticed that, while he had turned to look earlier, she had already changed into a fresh robe and wiped the icy spring water off her face.

Although her radiant visage didn’t outwardly reveal any lingering embarrassment, her cold and curt tone made it clear she was still angry!

"A fox spirit turned into a woman to seduce humans?" Zhu Minglang asked, surprised.

"Yes. The reason why everyone in this place is so utterly infatuated and lost in passion is also tied to her presence. This Mysterious Ancient Demon Fox has a natural floral-fragrance aura. Her scent triggers reveries in others, enticing them into behaving inappropriately—even gods struggle to resist it," the Weaver Star Fairy explained further, her tone remaining cold.

"Oh, so that’s the case. I thought Master Sister was testing my Dao heart by casting some love spell on me! You know, Master Sister, you’re beautiful, your voice is lovely, your personality is gentle, your skills are formidable, your temper is soft, and you handle affairs gracefully... How could a young man like me, in the prime of youth, possibly resist? I was about to embarrass myself completely, so I had no choice but to resort to desperate measures." Zhu Minglang stammered through an awkward explanation.

"You didn’t want to embarrass yourself, so you decided to embarrass me instead?" The Weaver Star Fairy retorted, clearly displeased.

"Heh, I truly admire and respect Master Sister. From the bottom of my heart, I wouldn’t allow myself to entertain any blasphemous thoughts, nor would I dare act improperly. Splashing some water... At worst, Master Sister might scold me or ignore me for a while, but that’s better than losing control and damaging the perfect and pure bond we share as teacher and disciple." Zhu Minglang rambled shamelessly.

The Weaver Star Fairy listened to her cunning disciple’s ramblings. Everything he said seemed acceptable on the surface, yet something felt unsettlingly off.

Zhu Minglang also realized that Master Sister wasn’t easily fooled. Fortunately, there was now an issue with that human-and-demon romance: the male cultivator looked as though he had either been energy-harvested or afflicted by something, his body twitching uncontrollably, and his soul even beginning to drift out...

"Soul harvesting?" Zhu Minglang exclaimed, shocked to realize that the demon was using such a vile technique!

If it was merely energy absorption, one might turn a blind eye—so long as the man remained ignorant of having slept with a demon, everyone could go on happily.

But soul harvesting was an outright sinister and deadly art, no different from stealing someone’s life force.

"I’ve already cast a spell on him; the man will be fine. For now, let’s not alert the demon," the Weaver Star Fairy said.

It was evident she had been keeping an eye on the pair for some time, and her plans were meticulous.

Zhu Minglang nodded, unexpectedly moved by Master Sister’s thoughtfulness. She had already identified an opportunity for him to obtain a divine purification blessing, even while dealing with her own responsibilities. This made Zhu Minglang feel ashamed of his earlier actions.

A proper Fairy like Master Sister, how could she ever cast a love spell on him?

The demon girl moved gracefully, and in the dimly lit plum grove–flower field, to any outsider, the couple appeared deeply enamored with each other, nothing more than a pair of lovers savoring intimate affection. Meanwhile, the young man who was having his soul harvested wore an expression of delighted bliss.

A good while later, everything finally came to an end.

"Wu Lang, even if you ascend to become an emperor among men, in the end, you’re still subject to the whims of the Immortals’ House. The citizens revere the gods and thank the heavens, yet whenever they encounter misfortunes, they curse the court and berate their rulers..." The demon girl spoke in an exaggeratedly delicate tone.

And somehow, that exaggerated delicacy was exactly what her victim couldn’t resist. Regardless of the content of her words, her seductive voice was absolute and irrefutable.
