Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Scenic Mountains and Rivers, A Beauty Emerges from the Water

A scenic resort nestled within a picturesque mountain forest on the southern outskirts.

Standalone villas exude an air of private elegance, backed by the forest.

Amidst this serenity, Hui-style architectural enclaves are subtly embedded.

Clusters of bamboo sway unceasingly with the gentle breeze.

The landscape intertwines with the waters, a vision of tranquil delight.

The two of them, holding their room cards, stepped into this quiet courtyard.

As it was the off-season, there were no other guests nearby.

This solitude made the tranquility all the more precious.

"This place is so beautiful."

Yang Linglong’s cheeks flushed as she admired the scenic hills and waters before her.

Deep down, she naturally knew what would happen tonight.

"If you like it, we’ll come here more often."

Lin Fan held her delicate hand, as smooth as sheep’s fat.

Those people had been following from a distance, right up to the hotel’s exterior.

He believed that by now, they were already preparing how to carry out the assassination.

"Yes, I would love that. Let’s go soak in the hot springs first; I’ve heard they’re quite famous here."

Yang Linglong took a robe from the wardrobe provided by the hotel.

During the registration at check-in, she had already purchased swimwear for both of them.

"Today is your day; I’ll do whatever you say."

Looking at Yang Linglong, with her radiant beauty, Lin Fan’s lips always carried a doting smile.

Since their first encounter, she had always been full of verve and spunk.

"Really?"

Yang Linglong stepped in front of Lin Fan, pinching his chin: "Then, little puppy, your big sister will take good care of you today."

But before she could act smug for long, Lin Fan swept her into his arms.

"Little thing, remember, in this house, what I say goes!"

"Yes, yes, what you say goes!"

Yang Linglong instantly turned docile, nestled in Lin Fan’s embrace.

She tilted her head slightly upwards and offered her sweet lips willingly.

This was also a form of pleading.

Her charming smile and the soft appeal in her eyes.

Almost made Lin Fan lose himself.

"Let’s go, to the hot springs!"

After a heated kiss, Lin Fan finally took Yang Linglong by the hand and led her out of the villa.

Not far away was the public hot spring, with crystal clear waters.

Thin veils of steam wafted through the air.

Yang Linglong in the water looked like a blossoming lotus.

Irresistible to those who wished to pluck it.

"Do you know anything about Qiuyuan Hongmei?"

Lin Fan held Yang Linglong’s soft body in his arms.

He remained quite concerned about this mysterious woman whose background was enigmatic.

After all, she held an esteemed status in the heart of an Onmyoji.

And with her identity as a royal witch, claiming to have no part in the Blood Moon plan,

he absolutely did not believe it.

"I don’t know much about her, just that she’s also an internet celebrity in the island country, extremely skilled in extreme sports such as rock climbing and racing," Lin Fan said. "Someone mentioned to me before that when my challenge videos spread to foreign websites, they even compared both of our challenges, but I didn’t pay much attention to the details. After all, my fame was accidental, and I never intended to be an internet celebrity. But women who like extreme sports are rare, so perhaps she and I are the same kind of person."

Yang Linglong shook her head and picked up her phone.

She found Qiuyuan Hongmei’s challenge videos on foreign websites through a professional site.

"This is getting interesting," she remarked.

Lin Fan watched Qiuyuan Hongmei’s rock climbing challenge on the screen.

Her genuine smile didn’t look like that of a bad person.

However, her special identity meant Lin Fan could not ignore her.

After all, the timing of her appearance was too coincidental.

At that moment, deep in the distant forest,

a pair of binoculars locked tightly onto the movements of the two people.

"Captain, there’s no one around us now, why not take action now instead of waiting until night?"

A bald man squinted his eyes, looking at the couple indulging in the hot spring, feeling parched with lust.

"Yeah, why not go down now and just ’deal’ with her before killing her? I remember my grandfather, who once invaded this land, telling me that the women of this nation are very chaste. Their screams under torture are so delightfully tragic, much more authentic than those feigned cries we’re used to hearing," said another man, licking his lips.

As a descendant, he had long wanted to witness his grandfather’s stories for himself.

"The Blood Moon plan is what’s important right now. Our movements must be under surveillance, and we absolutely cannot afford any slip-ups at this juncture. Pack away your lust. Right now, our duty is to ensure the safety of the sacred maiden. Everything else is secondary," the forty-something-year-old captain said with a grim face. "Once the Blood Moon plan is complete, everything under the blood moon will be like lambs to the slaughter. You can do whatever you want then, but not now. Have you got that?"

"It’s not us who are causing the problems. We were supposed to escort the sacred maiden discreetly; it was her who insisted on challenging the title of ’Queen of the Night’."

The bald man curled his lip contemptuously. "She really thinks just because she’s the sacred maiden, she can do whatever she wants and no one can defy her. If it weren’t for her innate Spirit Root, which makes her a suitable vessel for the Sun Deity and allows the true Blood Moon to descend, I would’ve stripped her naked and made her my humble servant long ago."

"Cilang, shut your mouth, don’t talk nonsense about such matters!" the captain snapped, his eyes flaring with anger.

This was a top-secret matter, one that absolutely must not be leaked.

"What are you so nervous about, captain? It’s just us here; no one else is going to hear it." Cilang retorted, indifferent.

"You’ve been treated with nothing but disdain by that woman yourself. She’s an uncultured thing. If not for the Blood Moon plan, she would be nothing more than a lowly wench. You really think she’s all that sacred? Chuanben just sneaked a peek at her bathing, and she had him blinded. When I arrived, Chuanben explicitly asked me—to gouge out her eyes after she completes her spirit communion, to taste the flavor of endless darkness. And at that time, I’m going to make her really savor what a man tastes like."

"Enough, don’t bring it up again. The Blood Moon plan is at a critical stage, and we can’t afford any mistakes," the captain barked, stopping Cilang’s reckless talk once more.

But he knew very well that once the Blood Moon descended,

the so-called sacred maiden would become useless.

Like a worthless piece of paper, abandoned to wither and not worth a second glance.

After all, it wasn’t the maiden they were devoted to but the theology she represented.

Her role was more like that of a puppet to deceive the followers.

All the great achievements were actually manipulated by the Onmyoji in the shadows.

Fortunately, she was quite naive, totally unaware of the significance of her identity.

"Captain, something about that guy seems off. He glanced our way a few times just now," said the woman who had been watching, putting down her binoculars.

Every time their eyes met, she felt like Lin Fan had somehow spotted her.

"Are you crazy? We’re two kilometers away. As long as he is human, he simply cannot detect us. Maybe you partied too hard last night and your seeing things from exhaustion!" Cilang said with disdain.

"No, I wasn’t. I’m talking about a feeling!" the woman argued, only to be cut off by the captain’s dismissive hand gesture.

"Enough, it doesn’t matter who he is. You must kill him tonight. To be safe, prepare the Double-headed Centipede Formation!" the captain ordered.
