Venerable Supreme of Myriad Dragons

Shen Daoxing suddenly stopped in his tracks. He heard a clear female voice; a female disciple was walking toward him.

Shen Daoxing ducked aside, quickly hiding behind a courtyard wall.

Once the disciple was a safe distance away, Shen Daoxing slowly emerged. He glanced around but saw no sign of the woman in yellow.

But Shen Daoxing didn’t leave. After all the trouble he’d gone to just to find a trace of her, he wasn’t about to give up so easily.

"Hui!"

Shen Daoxing called out softly.

Suddenly, the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat poked its head out from inside Shen Daoxing’s robes. It glanced around, its eyes instantly brightening.

Shen Daoxing said coolly, "Find her."

"SQUEAK! SQUEAK!"

The Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat gave an excited squeak and darted from Shen Daoxing’s embrace, its nose twitching as it sniffed along both sides of the path.

Meanwhile, the woman in yellow strolled between the courtyards with a seductive smile, her graceful hips swaying.

Suddenly, she seemed to spot something. Her eyes lit up, and with a flicker of movement that left a trail of afterimages, she silently slipped into a female disciple’s room.

The room was fresh and elegant, with simple furnishings: just a bed and a dressing table. It was immaculately clean, with very few personal effects.

The woman in yellow, however, seemed far from satisfied as she casually browsed the room. ’Tsk, tsk. So this is the boudoir of Fairy Muyun, the number one beauty of the Cyan Nether Sword Sect. Heh heh heh, I wonder how many men under heaven dream of getting a peek inside!’

With that thought, the woman in yellow began rummaging through the wardrobe. Suddenly, she pulled out a pink undergarment, dangling it before her eyes for a look.

The woman in yellow couldn’t help but let out a seductive laugh. "Heh heh heh, it seems our cold, unfeeling number one beauty, Fairy Muyun, isn’t completely without a sense of fun after all."

Just then, the woman in yellow seemed to sense something. She glanced outside and then, suddenly, gave a knowing smile.

She took a single step, and a hazy pink mist began to emanate from her body, completely enveloping her.

A moment later, when the mist dissipated, the woman in yellow had transformed into the spitting image of Shen Daoxing.

At that very moment, Gu Muyun appeared in the doorway. Upon seeing the man inside her room, her expression instantly turned frosty. "Who are you?"

The woman in yellow, disguised as Shen Daoxing, said nothing. She simply gave a faint smile, raised the pink undergarment, and dangled it in front of Gu Muyun. Then, she suddenly brought it to her nose and took a deep sniff, an expression of sheer bliss spreading across ’his’ face.

Gu Muyun remained silent, but the temperature in the room instantly plummeted. Her eyes were impossibly cold, as if her gaze alone could kill.

The woman in yellow simply smiled faintly and stuffed Gu Muyun’s undergarment into ’his’ robes. With a flicker of movement, ’he’ vanished.

The next moment.

BOOM!

A deep Sword Mark was gouged into the floor where the woman in yellow had been standing just a moment before.

"Heh heh heh... Fairy Muyun, you’re as stunningly beautiful as they say. Seeing you in person is so much better than just hearing the rumors." The teasing voice of the Shen Daoxing impostor rang out. ’He’ had appeared on a rooftop outside, dangling the pink undergarment. "I’ll just keep this as a little memento."

With that, the woman in yellow leaped off the roof.

By now, Fairy Muyun’s expression was terrifyingly dark. Without a moment’s hesitation, her figure blurred as she gave chase.

「Meanwhile.」

The Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat led Shen Daoxing onward, its nose to the ground, as they moved cautiously between the courtyards.

Suddenly, the voices of two female disciples drifted from just ahead. Both Shen Daoxing and the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat leaped up onto the eaves of a nearby roof to hide.

After the two disciples below had passed by and disappeared from view, Shen Daoxing and the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat slowly dropped back down.

Just then, the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat suddenly raised its head and sniffed the air. As if it had found something, it shot forward.

Shen Daoxing hurriedly followed.

A moment later, a familiar-looking figure leaped down from the eaves ahead.

Shen Daoxing looked up and froze. The man standing before him was his exact double.

Before Shen Daoxing could even process this, the man suddenly tossed something at him.

Shen Daoxing caught it out of pure instinct. He glanced down and saw a pink undergarment of unknown origin.

"An undergarment???"

Shen Daoxing was dumbfounded, completely failing to grasp what was happening.

In that brief moment of confusion, his look-alike leaped away and vanished.

The next instant, a white figure flashed into view. Gu Muyun, slender and clad in a light blue gossamer gown, suddenly appeared before Shen Daoxing.

When Gu Muyun’s eyes fell on Shen Daoxing—and the pink undergarment in his hand—her pupils contracted violently.

Shen Daoxing felt the air around him instantly drop by several degrees.

SHING!

A flash of white light.

An ethereal blade of light was already streaking toward Shen Daoxing.

Startled, Shen Daoxing instinctively threw up a hand to block.

CLANG!

A sound like the striking of a bronze bell rang out.

Shen Daoxing felt a surging, ferocious power stab into him, as if trying to sever everything in its path. A sharp pain shot through his palm. He quickly looked down to see a long, white line etched across his hand.

Fortunately, his body possessed the durability of the second level of Venerable Body Refining. He could even withstand a few blows from a master of the Refining Dust realm.

Otherwise, that single strike would have crippled his hand.

Shen Daoxing was shocked. He looked at Gu Muyun in bewilderment. "Senior Sister Muyun, what are you doing? Why would you attack me for no reason?"

’Why?’

Hearing this only made Gu Muyun’s expression grow darker. Her figure blurred as she leaped high into the air. A sharp, profound longsword materialized in her hand, and she brought it down on Shen Daoxing with a vicious chop, carrying a chill that felt like it could freeze the very heavens and earth.

Stunned, Shen Daoxing reflexively raised his hand to defend himself—the very hand holding the undergarment.

The sight of the pink undergarment made Fairy Muyun pause for a fraction of a second, but her expression became even frostier, and her sharp strike continued down with even greater ferocity.

Shen Daoxing froze. He looked from the undergarment in his hand to Gu Muyun’s reaction.

’Hmm???’

He instantly understood what was happening.

Just then, another loud female voice shouted from nearby, "A male disciple is in here! A male disciple has broken in!"

Candles began to light up the surrounding area as more and more people were alerted to the commotion.

Shen Daoxing was speechless.

’Looks like there’s no way I can talk my way out of this one!’

Without a moment’s hesitation, Shen Daoxing turned and bolted!

Meanwhile, perched on a large tree not far away, the woman in yellow watched Shen Daoxing’s sorry state and couldn’t help but giggle. "Oh, my dear little Junior Brother, Senior Sister has created such a wonderful opportunity for you. You’d better make the most of it!"
