Chapter 536 488: Pei Yuhang: We're Only Sharing a Bed, Why Is Xiaoxuan So Shy?

"Wait, Young... Young Master Pei! You don't need to go find her!"

Fan Xuan suddenly blocked Pei Yuhang's path.

"Actually, I've been using Magic to conceal my body's condition. Nangong Jin didn't see anything."

Fan Xuan's mind raced as she quickly came up with an excuse.

'Conceal her body's condition?'

Pei Yuhang paused for a moment, then looked at Fan Xuan seriously.

"Xiaoxuan, I'm going to use the same method Nangong Jin just did to check your Primordial Yin Acupoint and Guardian Palace Vein. I hope you don't mind."

Hearing this, Fan Xuan nodded shyly, then obediently turned her back to Pei Yuhang.

Pei Yuhang reached out and touched a soft spot on Fan Xuan's lower back. The Spiritual Qi at his fingertip transformed into a fine needle and pierced her skin, sensing the state of her Primordial Yin Qi.

As the most sensitive acupoint on her body was pierced, Fan Xuan let out a soft moan, her tall frame suddenly going limp like water and collapsing into Pei Yuhang's arms.

"Xiaoxuan, how did you do it? No matter how I check, it shows you're still a virgin!"

Pei Yuhang first felt a surge of joy, which was quickly followed by confusion.

His Cultivation was a full major realm higher than Fan Xuan's, yet he couldn't see through the illusion surrounding her body's condition. The Secret Techniques of the Yin Yang Sacred Land were truly formidable.

"Hmph. Let go of me first."

Lying in Pei Yuhang's arms, Fan Xuan felt his warm, fiery body heat and smelled his pleasant, cool pine scent. She felt as if she had drunk cheap liquor; her entire body was devoid of strength, and her pretty face was frighteningly hot.

"Xiaoxuan, what's wrong? Why is your body so hot?"

Pei Yuhang looked at Fan Xuan's rapid breathing and deeply flushed face with some confusion.

He instinctively lowered his head, gently pressing his forehead against hers. Their warm skin touched, their breaths mingling.

"!"

Fan Xuan's entire body stiffened. She felt a rush of heat shoot from her spine to the top of her head, and even the tips of her ears burned so hotly it felt like they would start bleeding.

She frantically turned her face away, her fingers unconsciously tightening their grip on her collar. Her voice trembled with a mix of shame and annoyance.

"I-I'm fine! Just let go of me!"

She shoved Pei Yuhang away forcefully, practically stumbling as she broke free from his embrace and staggered back two steps.

Pei Yuhang froze, his arms still in the posture of an embrace, a flash of astonishment in his eyes.

'Xiaoxuan… Is she being shy?'

He slowly lowered his hands, the faint fragrance of her hair lingering on his fingertips, but a sense of dissonance arose in his heart.

'When did Xiaoxuan become so shy?'

'Just a few days ago, she was excessively bold and unrestrained, even in front of Liyuan…'

'How could a simple hug from me now make her blush all the way to the roots of her ears?'

His gaze gradually deepened as he pensively studied the young woman before him, whose eyes were darting about nervously.

Fan Xuan realized this as well, and a thin layer of sweat bloomed on her palms.

'Damn it!'

She bit her lip, her heart pounding like a drum.

'My reaction just now was far too innocent, nothing like the poised and experienced Holy Daughter. If this continues, he'll see through my act sooner or later—'

In a flash, Fan Xuan's mind raced, and she suddenly looked up, her voice deliberately lowered.

"Young Master Pei, I went out this time because I obtained a very important piece of intelligence!"

"Shang Miaoyan has come to the Dao Sect again!"

Just as she expected, upon hearing Shang Miaoyan's name, Pei Yuhang's gaze sharpened and his brow furrowed. He temporarily pushed the sense of dissonance he felt from Fan Xuan to the back of his mind.

"Shang Miaoyan is here again?"

"That stubborn, wicked woman. I knew she wouldn't give up so easily."

"I wonder what kind of disgusting, dirty tricks she's planning to pull on me this time."

Seeing Pei Yuhang's attention diverted by "Shang Miaoyan," Fan Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But when she felt the thick disgust and wariness in Pei Yuhang's words, Fan Xuan's chest inexplicably tightened, and a sour feeling washed over her.

'Young Master Pei… you're already being played like a fiddle by the Holy Daughter.'

'And the one pushing you back into the fiery pit is the same "Xiaoxuan" standing before you now, the one you've helped countless times.'

Fan Xuan lowered her gaze to hide the bitterness in her eyes and continued, "

"Young Master Pei, there is one more thing you must be extremely careful about."

Fan Xuan's voice was grave, as if what she was about to say was even more serious than Shang Miaoyan's arrival.

"The Saint Master of our Sacred Land is here."

At her words, Pei Yuhang's pupils contracted. He instantly forgot about Shang Miaoyan, his mind filled instead by a dark nightmare from the depths of his memory.

"That woman—Yin Wanqing is here!"

When Fan Xuan heard Pei Yuhang say the Saint Master's full name, her pretty face went deathly pale with fright.

She rushed forward to cover Pei Yuhang's mouth, pressing a finger to her own thin lips in a hushing gesture.

"A Great Power on the Saint Master's level can sense if you speak her name even from a thousand miles away, creating a karmic link! Pei Yuhang, are you trying to get caught by her?!"

Smelling the fragrance on Fan Xuan's palm, Pei Yuhang quickly shook his head.

Only then did Fan Xuan remove her hand, murmuring,

"I don't know why that personage has come to the Dao Sect, but Young Master Pei, you absolutely must not be discovered by her! Since ancient times, no Cauldron Slave has ever escaped from the Yin Yang Sacred Land.

That's why the Saint Master was so furious when she heard you had escaped. She said your escape shook the very foundation of the Sacred Land and would give all the other Cauldron Slaves in the Sect ideas.

In the years that followed, the Saint Master executed many disciples and Cauldron Slaves with brutal punishments to make an example of them…"

Listening to Fan Xuan's terrified words, Pei Yuhang's thoughts were dragged back to his youth—to the moment he was first captured and brought to the Yin Yang Sacred Land, and came face-to-face with the Saint Master of that Demon Cave.

It was said that she was the most terrifying woman in the world when it came to Charm Techniques. Even gods would be captivated by her beauty upon seeing her true face.
