Chapter 684: Chapter 684: Linghu Baimi

When the woman in the black dress encountered men harassing her, she not only didn’t get angry but actually responded with a coquettish glance.

What was strange was that after the men were subjected to the woman’s enchanting look, their bodies shivered uncontrollably as if they were struck by electricity, and then they just stood there blankly for a while. Following that, they would madly rush to the side of the road, hug trees and other objects, and make various indecent gestures.

Some passersby who saw this were at first dumbfounded, then started pointing and laughing non-stop, some even took out their phones to record the spectacle and shared it online.

"Seduction technique..."

Having observed this scene with his Divine Sense, Fang Bai muttered these two words to himself.

Fang Bai knew that the woman had cultivated some kind of seduction technique; with just a glance, she could cause ordinary people and even martial artists weaker than her to experience various inappropriate illusions, and the weaker one’s strength and willpower, the longer these illusions would persist,

After dealing with the men who harassed her, the woman in the black dress continued to walk lightly toward Fang Bai, quickly noticing him striding forward with "Shuangjiang."

Not sensing any martial artist aura from "Shuangjiang," and seeing the listless expression and panic on her face, the woman in the black dress knew she had been stripped of her powers. When she looked at Fang Bai, a flash of rage and intent to kill crossed her eyes.

But then, that rage and intent to kill disappeared without a trace, and her face wore an even brighter smile as she walked even more briskly toward Fang Bai.

Watching the woman in the black dress approach, Fang Bai’s mind suddenly felt somewhat hazy.

Fang Bai had seen the woman in the black dress not long ago using his Divine Sense, but now he was looking at her directly with his own eyes.

Watching someone up close like this was very different from scanning them with Divine Sense. It was not only more direct but also more real.

The facial features, figure, temperament, and even the scent and aura of the woman in the black dress were so similar to those of Fang Bai’s beloved friend from a previous life that he began to suspect she was the "Peach Fairyland Empress" from the Immortal Realm reincarnated into this world.

Fang Bai was bewildered for a moment, then laughed at himself and shook his head, murmuring, "How could it be... how could it be..."

He knew that beneath the nine major domains of the Immortal Realm, there were three thousand Cultivation Worlds, and the world he currently resided in was not even a Cultivation World. Even if the "Peach Fairyland Empress" had relinquished her life in the Immortal Realm, turned into a Taoist Fruit, and fallen into reincarnation for a chance to be reborn, the probability she would be reborn in the same world as him was despairingly slim.

Yet, this woman in the black dress was just too similar to the "Peach Fairyland Empress"!

If this woman in front of him possessed the cultivation level of the Immortal Emperor, and if she were to change into a pink immortal garment, she would be the spitting image of the "Peach Fairyland Empress" reincarnated.

Fang Bai still clearly remembered that the "Peach Fairyland Empress" loved the color pink like peach blossoms; all her immortal garments and armor were in shades of pink.

A wisp of faint fragrance wafted toward Fang Bai’s nose—the woman in the black dress had already approached him closely.

Smelling this fragrance, Fang Bai sighed wistfully.

Back in the day when he traveled through the nine domains of the Immortal Realm with the "Peach Fairyland Empress," it was this same scent on her that intoxicated him.

The delicate fragrance at his nose brought back a flood of memories, leaving Fang Bai lost in lamentation.

Although the woman in the black dress wore a Spiritual Artifact that could conceal her aura, at such a close distance, Fang Bai could still sense her hostility and intent to kill.

With any other "Wrathful Beauty," Fang Bai would have already taken action and subdued the person.

But facing this woman, Fang Bai couldn’t find the slightest hint of animosity or intent to kill in his heart.

He stopped in his tracks and watched the woman in the black dress quietly, a complex expression in his eyes.

"Ouch!"

When the woman in the black dress reached a point three meters in front of Fang Bai, she suddenly leaned to the side, as if she had twisted her ankle. She crouched down, hand on her bare foot, with a pained expression on her face.

Her brows knitted tightly in pain, reminding Fang Bai of the time he had first encountered the "Peach Fairyland Empress" years ago.

Back then, the Empress was just a young girl in the Cultivation World with a humble level of cultivation. Pursued by enemies and with an injured leg, she had the same look of furrowed brows, an image of pitiful grace when she met him.

"What... what’s wrong with you?"

Although he saw through the woman in the black dress’s pretense, Fang Bai couldn’t help but ask with concern.

"I... I’ve twisted my ankle... it hurts so much... Sir, could you please help me stand up?"

The woman in the black dress crouched on the ground, her voice tinged with sobs, extending a hand toward Fang Bai, her watery eyes filled with a plea, like a wounded little rabbit that would involuntarily evoke pity.

Any normal man would find it impossible to refuse the woman in the black dress’s plea.

So Fang Bai temporarily let go of the female assassin "Shuangjiang" beside him, took a few steps forward, grabbed the woman’s extended hand, and helped her stand.

"Ah!"

The woman in the black dress seemed unstable on her feet, and with a cry of alarm, her delicate body wobbled, falling towards Fang Bai.

Fang Bai caught her falling body with both hands, feeling the softness and warmth, tender as boneless, his heart stirring slightly, and he instinctively drew her into his arms, blowing gently by her ear.

These gestures were the intimate behaviors Fang Bai had shared with the "Peach Fairyland Empress" during their playful times together; seeing the woman before him who bore a strong resemblance to the "Peach Fairyland Empress" made Fang Bai subconsciously repeat these actions.

However, Fang Bai soon realized that was improper, and he let go of the woman in the black dress and took a step back.

The woman in the black dress didn’t expect Fang Bai to take such a liberty with her and secretly felt a mix of anger and embarrassment. Yet, she pretended to be bashfully blushing and said softly, "Thank you, sir."

Fang Bai smiled and asked, "What’s your name?"

In his heart, Fang Bai still held a sliver of hope, wishing to hear that familiar and pleasant name from the woman in the black dress.

Fang Bai knew that the "Peach Fairyland Immortal Emperor" had a beautiful name, but after she became an empress and lived in an Immortal Mansion surrounded by peach trees, often with blossoming peach flowers whose fragrance drifted for a thousand miles, her mansion was dubbed "Peach Fairyland Immortal Mansion," and thus she was granted the title "Peach Fairyland Empress."

Asking someone’s name without having said two words upon meeting was a very abrupt thing to do, but the woman in the black dress answered anyway: "My surname is Linghu, and my given name is Baimei. And you, sir?"

"Linghu Baimei... With a turn of her head, she commands a hundred charms... A name as beautiful as the person... Good name..."

Not hearing the familiar name he wanted from Linghu Baimei’s mouth, Fang Bai felt a slight disappointment but smiled and said, "My name is Fang Bai."

"So you are Mr. Fang... Is this beautiful lady your friend, Mr. Fang?"

Linghu Baimei’s eyes drifted to "Shuangjiang," who stood behind Fang Bai, and she asked with a smile.
