Jiang Yan had not seen such a beauty in a long time; her appearance was no less stunning than that of Jiang Xun'er, that wretched woman.
He saw that this beauty's smile was pure and her demeanor gentle. If he could hold her willowy waist and have a good relationship with her, wouldn't that be infinitely more enjoyable than visiting a brothel?
Jiang Yan immediately wanted to agree.
But the Medicine Honored One timely reminded Jiang Yan through Divine Sense transmission, and only then did Jiang Yan manage to suppress his wavering heart and say, "Your oath has a loophole. What if you attack me as soon as we leave the Secret Realm?"
The Heart of a Vicious Woman heard this and, as if just realizing the loophole, quickly apologized and said, "Thank you, Young Master Jiang, for pointing that out. That was indeed my oversight. Then the oath will be changed to: 'Before the two of us return to Demon Hunt Town, I will not do anything harmful to you.' How about that?"
Jiang Yan thought about it for a while and found no problems.
Then he asked the female to swear, but the female said that both parties should swear together. After all, she had revealed her true appearance and was still a weak female, so she was afraid that Jiang Yan would bully her.
Jiang Yan was somewhat unwilling, but in order to pass through the poisonous mist and enter the Ancient Secret Realm, he had to suppress the non-existent little Jiang Yan and swear with the female.
After the two had finished swearing, Jiang Yan was still somewhat wary of the female.
But when the female diligently led him, and the two safely passed through the poisonous mist, Jiang Yan quickly lost his guard against the female.
Looking at her incredibly alluring back, her slender waist and full, peachy curves formed a strong visual impact.
Jiang Yan's broken heart began to stir once more.
He walked to the female's side, revealing a proper smile, and tried to make his tone gentle, saying, "Traveling together, I still don't know the young lady's name."
"My name is Yuesu, Young Master Jiang. You can call me Yuesu or Su Su."
"Oh, so it's Miss Su Su."
Jiang Yan chuckled and praised, "That's truly a wonderful name."
"Wonderful in what way?" Yuesu suddenly asked.
"Uh, well, there's a kind of wonderful that's just indescribably wonderful."
Jiang Yan changed the subject, saying, "Just now, Miss Su Su said that those things you did were actually done out of necessity."
"May I ask what difficulties Miss Su Su faced? Could you tell me?"
"There's nothing I can't say. Since Young Master Jiang asked, then I shall answer."
Yuesu's voice was soft and her posture delicate as she said, "I was born into a Mortal family, and the place I lived since childhood was just a small Mortal town."
"Although it was ordinary, my parents were alive and well, and I had a younger sister and a younger brother. Life was happy and content."
"Until I was seven years old, an Evil Cultivator suddenly came to our village. Simply because the village chief was not hospitable enough, he massacred everyone in our entire village."
"That day, I happened to not be in the village. I was gathering wild vegetables in a stream valley outside the village. That evening, I returned to the village with a basket of wild vegetables and saw that everyone was dead."
"My parents, and my younger siblings, all died tragically at home."
"I curled up in the rice jar at home for a day and two nights, intending to die that way. But another Daoist was attracted by the towering bloody Qi emanating from the village, came to the village, and saw this scene."
"She found me, and I was taken in as her Disciple. My Master was also a Loose Cultivator, but she could not stand Evil Cultivators doing such heinous things."
"In the more than ten years that followed, Master took care of me while searching for traces of the Evil Cultivator who destroyed our village."
"Finally, when I was twenty, Master found that Evil Cultivator. After a great battle between them, the Evil Cultivator was slain, but Master was also severely injured by his dying counterattack and passed away a few years later."
"Since then, I came to Demon Hunt Town alone."
"Some Loose Cultivators have bad character and regard Mortal lives as grass. Young Master Jiang, do you think these people deserve to die?"
"They deserve to die."
Jiang Yan believed Yuesu's words. Although he also didn't value the lives of Mortals, he knew what to say now.
He said decisively, "That kind of Loose Cultivator is a disgrace among Cultivators. Dying a hundred times wouldn't be enough."
Yuesu smiled at his words.
She turned her head to look at Jiang Yan, her smile beaming as she said, "It seems Young Master Jiang thinks the same as I do. Perhaps we can become friends."
"Miss Su Su, as long as you wish, I, Jiang Yan, can be your friend for life."
"Then thank you, Young Master Jiang."
The two chatted and laughed. In Jiang Yan's eyes, Yuesu must have lived a very lonely life these past few years, hiding her identity.
Moreover, her background was so tragic. As long as he became her friend, and progressed gradually, would happy days be far away?
After passing through several more layers of poisonous mist of different colors, the two arrived in front of the Secret Realm.
Originally, there was only an ordinary stone wall here. Yuesu searched for a long time but couldn't find the entrance.
But Jiang Yan, by chance, just pressed a few times casually on the stone wall, and the Secret Realm's great door rose from the ground.
There were three keyholes on the door, and the two inserted the corresponding colored keys.
The Secret Realm's door slowly opened. Zhou Fan, far away, had set up tracking and detection Spells on Yuesu. He did not plan to follow the two into the Secret Realm.
Only if the Spells placed on Yuesu could not operate normally would Zhou Fan enter the Secret Realm.
After Yuesu and Jiang Yan entered the Secret Realm, Zhou Fan's detection Spells could initially still see the layout inside the Secret Realm.
But as the two passed through two checkpoints and gradually went deeper into the Secret Realm, and as the Secret Realm's door slowly closed, the images Zhou Fan detected gradually became blurry.
Seeing this, Zhou Fan flashed into the Secret Realm. With his nearly sixth-level Physique, these poisonous mists had no effect on him whatsoever.
Instead of following the two deeper into the Secret Realm, Zhou Fan stayed by the Secret Realm's door.
After the Secret Realm's door closed, and Zhou Fan was in the Secret Realm with the two, the detection Spells could operate normally again.
He watched as the two spent several days passing through various checkpoints. This Secret Realm was likely the original owner's Immortal Cave, which he had transformed into a Secret Realm for testing intruders before his death.
The original owner of the Secret Realm was an expert in poisons; many checkpoints had poison assistance. But Yuesu was extremely familiar with all kinds of poisons, and even poisons she hadn't seen before, she could quickly identify their components and then neutralize them.
Coupled with Jiang Yan's combat power and luck, the two made it to the deepest part of the Secret Realm with no major incidents.
After taking the three jade boxes from the center of the Secret Realm, the two prepared to leave.
But the Medicine Honored One in the pendant timely reminded Jiang Yan to kowtow nine times to the skeleton sitting beside it.
Jiang Yan grumbled inwardly, but thinking that the Mosaic Master had never harmed him over the years, he respectfully knocked his head several times against the skeleton.
After kowtowing, another jade box actually popped out from the stone wall against which the skeleton was leaning. Jiang Yan delightedly picked up the jade box.
Just as he was about to leave, the Mosaic Master reminded him again to reassemble the bones scattered by the jade box and arrange them as they were.
Jiang Yan did as told, but this time no jade box popped out.
Leaving the Secret Realm with Yuesu, the two began to discuss how to distribute the total of four jade boxes.
