Outside Duo Bao Pavilion
"Befriend me?" Lan An raised an eyebrow at the cousin pair before him.
"Indeed. Witnessing Brother's heroic cross-realm combat, this junior admires you greatly. I hope to discuss the path of cultivation together," Li Lin said humbly, cupping his hands.
Li Zhu Lan, beside him, fidgeted with her sleeve, stealing glances at Lan An. Seeing him hand-in-hand with two women, a flicker of disappointment crossed her beautiful eyes.
Lan An wasn't arrogant. Their courtesy made refusal hard, but Ji Bing's critical state weighed on him. He pondered, then said, "I'm pressed for urgent matters now, but I'm staying at Jun Lin Inn. Visit me there when you're free."
Li Lin and Li Zhu Lan brightened, far from discouraged. "Perfect! We need a place to stay and planned to book at Jun Lin Inn. We'll settle some affairs and move in tomorrow," Li Lin said eagerly.
"Even better. We'll head back now. See you soon," Lan An nodded, smiling and cupping his hands. He led his women away, Chen Jiang trailing behind.
Watching Lan An's group hasten off, Li Zhu Lan bit her lip, wanting to speak but holding back.
Li Lin, noticing her mood, teased with a worldly air, "A powerhouse like him? Three wives, four concubines—normal. Don't be too down, cousin. With your beauty, you'd surely be his main wife!"
"Pfft, you're the main wife! Your whole family's main wives!" Li Zhu Lan's cheeks burned, blushing to her ears, stomping in mock anger.
"Junior Sister Li," a warm voice interrupted.
A youth with lush green hair strolled over, his handsome face beaming at Li Zhu Lan. "What luck, meeting you here. Score anything good at the auction?"
"Greetings, Senior Brother Muo Hao," Li Zhu Lan said, recognizing Tian Mu Sect's Young Master, her fellow disciple. She bowed politely, wondering why he skipped the auction.
Though she'd joined Tian Mu Sect only three years ago, Muo Hao's fame as its top genius was thunderous. Yet, she held no fondness for him, having heard tales of senior sisters he'd wronged. Her master warned her to avoid him, so their interactions were rare, barely acquaintances.
"And this is?" Muo Hao asked, eyeing Li Lin with a fleeting glint of malice.
"My cousin, Li Lin," Li Zhu Lan introduced.
"Li Lin greets Young Master Muo. I've long admired your renown," Li Lin said, eyes gleaming, bowing eagerly to curry favor with the Seventh-Grade sect's heir.
"Oh, Brother Li, kin to my junior sister, is kin to me. No need for formalities," Muo Hao said, delighting Li Lin, who schemed to cozy up to Tian Mu Sect's prodigy, mentally comparing him to Lan An.
Li Zhu Lan, preoccupied with Lan An, had no interest in Muo Hao. She bowed slightly. "Senior Brother, carry on. We have urgent matters."
She tugged Li Lin to leave.
"Cousin, why rush? A rare chance to chat with the Young Master—how can we be rude?" Li Lin frowned, scolding her, while fawning at Muo Hao.
"Hmph, you chat then. I'm busy," Li Zhu Lan said, disappointed in her cousin's blatant greed. Was his desire to befriend Lan An genuine?
Seeing her resolve, Muo Hao seethed inwardly, cursing her silently, but smiled warmly. "If Junior Sister's busy, I won't intrude. I've just arrived in Ling Wu City without lodging. Could you recommend a place?"
"Really? Perfect! We're heading to Jun Lin Inn. Join us, Young Master," Li Lin said, thrilled, pulling him along.
Li Zhu Lan frowned, exasperated at her cousin's shamelessness. Stomping her foot, she stormed off.
"No problem. Let's go together," Muo Hao said, his eyes glinting, smiling gently.
Jun Lin Inn, Spirit Blossom Orb
"You're quite the star, charming a little beauty to your door. I'm jealous," Qin Meng Ying teased, pinching Lan An's waist. Her sharp eyes caught Li Zhu Lan's fondness for him.
"Get us back to the inn quick! Ji Bing's condition is dire," Lan An said wryly, deflecting. He didn't delude himself that Li Zhu Lan loved him at first sight—likely just admired his strength.
"Hmph, Su Mei, hold tight," Qin Meng Ying said, knowing the urgency. She signaled Bai Su Mei, grabbed Lan An's hand, and surged spiritual energy.
Whoosh.
The trio vanished from the street. Chen Jiang, left behind, chuckled bitterly, trudging back on foot. But thinking of the Earth Lion Shield Lan An gifted him, he whistled cheerfully.
Inside the Spirit Blossom Orb, Lan An and Bai Su Mei entered. Qin Meng Ying, blushing, stayed out, guessing what was coming.
Bai Su Mei yearned to unite with her master, but Ji Bing's plight kept her obediently aside.
Lan An caressed her face tenderly, then approached the jade bed.
On it, Ji Bing, a Peak Spirit Transformation beauty identical to Ji Ya, lay still, her soul gravely wounded despite her realm.
Lan An acted decisively, gently removing her azure robes, revealing flawless skin inch by inch. He exhaled deeply, calling her "perfect," and shed her delicate undergarments.
Her silken skin, full breasts with rosy peaks, smooth abdomen adorned with a delicate navel, slender legs parted slightly, and neatly trimmed intimacy formed a vision of perfection. Her chest rose with each breath, unaware of her exposure.
Gazing briefly at her captivating form, Lan An summoned a solemn jade pendant, carved with a nude immortal maiden wreathed by a majestic dragon, veiling her modesty in noble splendor.
"Dragon Immortal Sacred Canon, don't disappoint me," he murmured.
Biting his tongue, he spat immortal blood onto the pendant. A tidal wave of esoteric knowledge flooded his mind.
"Argh!" Lan An screamed.
"Master!" Bai Su Mei, alarmed, cradled him against her chest.
Lan An roared, clutching his head. The Canon's vast, mystical data seared his soul, as if thousands of needles stitched it into his memory.
Though agonizing, it paled compared to the Immortal Genesis Scripture's trial. He could still cry out.
Soon, drenched in sweat, Lan An staggered up, his eyes blazing with exhilaration, pain forgotten.
The Dragon Immortal Sacred Canon was miraculous, its wonders thrilling him.
The pendant revealed its layered structure, but his current strength limited him to the first layer. Crucially, it could be imparted to a female partner through intimacy.
"Su Mei, undress me," Lan An said gently, craving her tender care.
"Yes," Bai Su Mei smiled radiantly, her delicate hands peeling off his robes, revealing his chiseled frame. Her breathing quickened, eyes misty with desire.
Lan An reciprocated, slipping off her Immortal Lovers' Fate Robes, unveiling her sacred beauty—quivering breasts, silver-trimmed intimacy glistening with arousal.
His fingers grazed her slick folds, kneading her full breasts. "Feeling it, darling?" he teased.
"Mmph, I'm in heat," Bai Su Mei moaned softly, her serpentine nature amplifying her passion despite her saintly aura.
"Patient first. You're next," Lan An promised, suckling her rosy peak briefly before turning to the jade bed.
He lifted Ji Bing's nude form, savoring her cool skin, humming contentedly. The jade bed, a Mysterious-Grade artifact, mildly nurtured souls but was too firm for her delicate back.
Laying her on the soft mattress Chen Jiang had bought, Lan An propped her in his lap, parting her pale, fragrant lips with his tongue. One hand massaged her ample breast, teasing its sensitive peak; the other toyed with her delicate bud, stirring her dormant desire.
For Ji Bing's urgent case, Lan An knew gentleness wouldn't suffice. He needed to ignite her passion swiftly to initiate healing.
His tongue danced with hers, hands working her flushed breast and slick intimacy, probing her warmth.
Bai Su Mei, unable to resist the sensual scene, slithered onto the bed, pressing her full curves against Lan An's back. Her fragrant tongue teased his ear, her hand grasping his rigid length, stroking gently.
Lan An groaned, delighted by her service, redoubling his efforts on Ji Bing.
Her intimacy grew damp, but not enough for his size. Rushing risked harming her, and Lan An wouldn't ruin his future wife's delicate treasure.
He parted from her sweet mouth, lowering to her pristine, rosy intimacy—a shy flower, fragrant and inviting.
Without hesitation, his tongue flicked her sensitive bud.
"Mmph," Ji Bing sighed, her moan tinged with soul-deep pain.
Lan An's heart ached, yearning to heal her. "Su Mei, kiss her for me. Work her breasts firmly," he said softly, lapping at Ji Bing's nectar.
Bai Su Mei complied, her lush lips meeting Ji Bing's cool ones.
Chup chup.
Their tongues entwined, two peerless beauties locked in a kiss, a sight to tempt any man.
Bai Su Mei's deft hands kneaded Ji Bing's equally full breasts.
Lan An, witnessing this, felt his arousal surge, wishing to claim them both.
His tongue parted her silken folds, delving into her tight warmth. Her virgin sweetness enthralled him, her essence flowing freely.
Suddenly, a warm gush splashed his face.
Eyes wide, Lan An savored it, looking up.
"Master, her underarms are sensitive. A light lick, and she trembled," Bai Su Mei giggled, her flushed face radiant with mischief.
Lan An chuckled, noting Ji Bing's faint pleasure. He kissed her underarm lightly.
"Mmph," she moaned, her skin flushing deeper.
Elated, Lan An inhaled her cool fragrance, exploring the soft skin under her arm like a new world, his tongue dancing.
Ji Bing quivered intensely, her intimacy soaking the sheets.
Lan An smiled wryly, wishing he'd known her sensitivity sooner. "Well done, darling," he praised Bai Su Mei.
"Let me please you," she purred, her misty eyes on his dry length, offering to prepare him for Ji Bing.
"Only be this bold with me, got it?" Lan An teased, pinching her cheek. His serpentine Su Mei grew ever more enticing.
"I'm yours alone, Master. I'm a fairy to others, but your vixen," Bai Su Mei whispered, licking her lips.
Her small mouth enveloped his length, her tongue swirling expertly.
