Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 1385: Chapter 1344 Yun Yan

Faced with such sinister entities, Lu Chuan actually had the upper hand.

The Divine Fire of the Sun was extremely effective at suppressing malevolent forces, combined with Lu Chuan’s unique physique—the Primal Chaos Indestructible Body—which repelled all that was evil. Furthermore, he had the protection of the True Dragon Destiny, embodying supreme yang and unyielding strength.

In other words, Lu Chuan was practically a walking, talking ghost-catching machine!

But this time, something seemed off.

Lu Chuan unleashed a torrent of fire, instantly engulfing the Resentful Spirit. The creature emitted an agonized shriek so intense that Lu Chuan assumed it had been scorched to oblivion.

Yet, when the Divine Fire dissipated, the Resentful Spirit emerged unscathed, darted forward, and pierced Lu Chuan’s shoulder with ease. The attack reached deep, even threatening his Nascent Soul, leaving Lu Chuan in excruciating pain!

“What on earth is this creature?!”

For the first time, Lu Chuan encountered a situation where the Divine Fire of the Sun was ineffective at exterminating a sinister Resentful Spirit.

“Tower Spirit!”

“This is not a Resentful Spirit; it is the collective consciousness of soldiers who fell in battle.”

“Can you skip the lecture and get straight to the point? Just tell me how to deal with this thing!”

Clenching his teeth, Lu Chuan channelled the Divine Fire to his fingertips and delivered a punch to the ghostly figure, only to be blasted backward several meters by its counterforce!

“When it comes to this… I’m not an expert. However, someone might be able to assist you.”

“Someone?”

Before the words could finish registering in Lu Chuan’s mind, a sudden, searing pain overwhelmed him, and his vision went dark as he collapsed into unconsciousness.

Witnessing Lu Chuan’s sudden collapse, Xiu Niang’s heart sank. She swiftly manipulated her silk wires to wrap around his waist, spinning on her heel and fleeing without hesitation.

“Of all times to faint, why now of all moments, Lu Chuan? Are you doing this on purpose?”

Grinding her silver teeth in frustration, Xiu Niang frantically set up barriers in an attempt to slow the Resentful Spirit’s advance, but her efforts were in vain.

Meanwhile, inside the Demon Suppression Pagoda!

Lu Chuan found himself standing still amid an expanse of void, surrounded by nothingness. He barely discerned a pair of eerie blue eyes flickering briefly before vanishing again.

“I thought I’d have to wait a long time, but who knew we’d meet so soon, little master~”

The enchantingly seductive voice sent Lu Chuan’s heart into a troubling flutter.

“And who might you be?”

“The former Fox Lord of the Green Hill Fox Tribe, Yun Yan.”

As her voice fell, the surrounding chaos gradually dispersed, revealing a charming silhouette in Lu Chuan’s line of sight.

The woman before him was without contest the most stunning beauty he had ever laid eyes upon. Even Yun Ji, born with natural allure, paled dramatically in comparison to her. Just a single glance left Lu Chuan dazed and disoriented. It was no wonder the Tower Spirit had warned him that his current strength wasn’t enough to face the existence within the second layer of the Demon Suppression Pagoda.

This is what the warning meant.

But…

The connection between Yun Yan of the Green Hill Fox Tribe and Yun Ji…

“That woman actually permitted you to meet me. Have you encountered some sort of trouble?”

Yun Yan spoke, her waist swaying as she approached. Her naked body gently pressed against Lu Chuan, her nine tails playfully concealing and revealing her most private spots in a tantalizing dance.

“Wh-what woman?”

“Oh? You’re unaware? Then I’ll say nothing more, lest it displeases her. If she gets upset, my life wouldn’t get any better. However, you seem to have the scent of another Nine-tailed Fox on you.”

Yun Yan leaned close, sniffing lightly at the side of Lu Chuan’s neck. Smiling, she said, “I see.”

“See what? Since you’re a Nine-tailed Fox, do you know Yun Ji?”

“I don’t know her. When I was imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Pagoda, there was no one named Yun Ji among the tribe. But this aura, it is indeed linked to my bloodline.

Tell me, how is the Nine-tailed Fox Tribe faring these days?”

“Not great, I suppose, but at least the tribe has survived.”

Lu Chuan answered gravely and then quickly realized the issue, urgently saying, “The Tower Spirit mentioned that you could help me with my current predicament. Is that true?”

“Naturally. She knows my capabilities and wouldn’t make baseless claims. I can indeed assist you. But… why should I help you?”

Yun Yan chuckled softly and turned to recline lazily on her bed. Smiling coquettishly, she asked, “If I help you, what will you offer me in return?”

“I’ve helped the Nine-tailed Fox Tribe find stability. In return, isn’t it only fair that you help me this time?”

Yun Yan shook her head, laughing as she replied, “You helped the Nine-tailed Fox Tribe; there’s Yun Ji to help you, isn’t there? The current Fox Lord is no longer me. I owe you nothing.”

“… What do you want from me, then?”

“It’s simple. I want you.”

Yun Yan curled her lips, her smile both sultry and captivating.

“With True Dragon Destiny and the Primal Chaos Indestructible Body, such an exceptional Furnace Cauldron—it would be a shame not to put it to use.”

“Fine. I accept your terms.”

“Excellent. I admire your decisiveness.”

With a flick of her finger, Yun Yan sent a tiny bell floating toward Lu Chuan’s grasp.

“When you encounter the Resentful Spirit, shake the Soul-Attracting Bell to shatter its immortal essence. The rest, I trust you know how to handle.

Human, I’ll await your good news here.”

As her voice faded, Yun Yan waved her hand casually, returning Lu Chuan’s Divine Sense to his body. He woke abruptly, feeling the silk wires wrapped around him. He shouted, “Xiu Niang, let me down! I have a plan now!”

“You’re finally awake! If you hadn’t come to, I’d have been left with no clothes!”

Xiu Niang bit down in frustration, releasing the silk wires from Lu Chuan’s frame. Only then did Lu Chuan notice that Xiu Niang’s cheongsam was nearly in tatters, exposing her delicate shoulders, shapely legs, and teasing glimpses of her chest.

But there was no helping it—this was simply Xiu Niang’s signature weapon. The cheongsam she wore was intricately crafted from her prized Spirit-Swallowing Silk, of which she had only this single garment prepared. Any more damage, and she’d have been left completely bare!

Despite the alluring sight, Lu Chuan had no time to admire it. His thoughts raced as he retrieved the Soul-Attracting Bell from his personal storage space, dashing toward the Resentful Spirit and giving the bell a slight shake. Its crisp chime rang out, prompting the Resentful Spirit to contort in deep agony, its expression grotesque and terrifying!

Feeling his Spiritual Power draining quickly, Lu Chuan realized he couldn’t afford to waste another second. He summoned the Divine Fire of the Sun to incinerate the Resentful Spirit entirely!

“It actually worked so well?”

Lu Chuan marveled as he fiddled with the Soul-Attracting Bell. Xiu Niang, meanwhile, busily gathered the remaining pieces of her silk wires to weave a slightly shorter cheongsam to drape over herself.

“Lu Chuan, if you had such a treasure, why didn’t you use it earlier?”

“You think I didn’t want to? I just acquired it moments ago. Forget that—how are you? Are you hurt?”

Xiu Niang shook her head, sighing, “It’s just a shame most of my Spirit-Swallowing Silk was destroyed by the Resentful Spirit. There’s barely any left; I’ll have to ration its use going forward.

Eyes! Where are you looking? Keep staring and I’ll gouge them out for you!”

“Ugh, I’ve already touched, so what’s the harm in looking?”
