Frowning, he said: "I understand all the abilities; however, I don't understand why I only have one year of life left. I mean, even though I'm a mere insignificant human who has been exposed for a long time to blessed places with rich spiritual energy, shouldn't my vitality be doubled with each realm breakthrough?"
[Infinite Update System]
[System:
Responding to the user, the system detected that your mortal body is currently very weak, and because of this, the host's lineage requires that their body and soul be strengthened to the limit in order to activate it. In other words, the user will have to work hard to get stronger and not die :)]
"I see, so even though I'm invincible, I can't escape death? All I can do is cultivate."
The night was young for Luo Sen. The elf had just woken up, it was already late, he said without caring about her reaction.
"Huh? I was chasing the lake toad? How did I end up here?" She got up before noticing a humanoid being lying on the grass, her expression changed, going through several shifts in a short span of time, starting with fear, her eyes blinking rapidly, her mouth opening like an egg. "Fann... F-ghost!!" She retracted her body, taking two steps back, pressing her breasts as if it were her only barrier to feel safe.
Stumbling over a rock and falling on her butt on the ground.
The spirit remained impassive, lost in its own thoughts under the starry sky.
Sylphira, still shaken, wondered if she had stumbled upon a supernatural necropolis; it was not so uncommon to have spirits circulating in the high places of the mountains.
She saw the spirit place one leg over the other and then the spirit's forearm settle like a pillow for him to lay his head on. The world was silent, only the wind caused slight ripples in the grass, and the moonlight shone as if it were happy to see him.
But for the spirit, all that mattered was feeling the breeze blow his face and breathe in the sweet natural aroma of that place which, in terms of natural beauty, could be compared to Guilin, but his voice sharp as a sword cut the wind, making it gather in a seven-color whirlwind, made of his understanding of the Dao of nature.
Sylphira held her breath as she noticed her cultivation base reacting to that inexplicable scene, her eyes shining with anticipation and curiosity, she decided to approach a little closer to see more closely and maybe get a few more insights, after all it was impossible for a power capable of stimulating her cultivation base to be weaker than her.
Luo Sen was in a state of pure epiphany, with his eyes closed he surrendered completely to the transcendence of the paths of the Dao, wishing only to integrate with nature. His closed mouth opened, uttering a mantra born from his contemplation of that mystical understanding, maintaining a serene expression.
He spoke to the moon, mountains and streams:
"I contemplated the beautiful mountain, and behold the Great Tai; how to say it; beyond Lu and Qi everything is verdant, here divine and beautiful are concentrated, whether south or north clear-dark, the chest extends to the clouds that accumulate eyes distend birds that enter, it is necessary to reach the extreme the summit of a single glance a thousand peaks diminish."
[NT: This is a poem by Du Fu, the greatest poet of China]
She was speechless, not because he seemed to connect with the sky and the mountain when he said those words, but because she now realized that he was not a spirit. "Ah, so it's not a vengeful spirit", she thought, relieved. Her tension relaxing a bit.
"Wait a minute! If he's not a spirit, then what is he doing here? And why does it seem safe here? Usually there should be ghosts and ancient creatures in this place, this doesn't make sense! This is a territory that my mother, the matriarch, never let me enter, saying it was excessively dangerous and that not even uncle would easily enter."
Again, the Mount Kunlun where they were standing rose majestically over the island, its peak already the highest, touching the clouds.
She remembers hearing that hundreds of years ago, when the island was still dominated by demonic beasts, a god appeared who eradicated some of them, leaving his tomb here after the long battle where he died fighting against the god of those beasts, since then this mountain has been named Mount Kunlun.
And it had been a long time since a mortal had set foot on this place, because although its location may seem obvious, it was one of the forbidden areas.
Why was it forbidden? No one had ever returned alive and they say that some ghosts, Nine-tailed Foxes and other ancient creatures lived hidden behind this mountain, once a paradise for beasts and wild animals.
The stones, covered in moss and enveloped in an ethereal mist, seemed to dance around the fireflies' lights, the being who had just declaimed his understanding was already visible to her and seemed to be a man, a human? It all sounded absurd, but she couldn't find a satisfactory answer, the only conclusion made her determination stronger, despite the shock on her face.
"Could he be, by any chance, that god I've always imagined?" she pondered, her eyes fixed on him, while her heart raced. The elf, lost in thought, observed the man before her.
Luo Sen maintained an expression of undeniable beauty in contemplation of the moon, the strands of his hair floating in the touch of the moonlight, it seemed that a god had descended.
But not a biblical god, instead an evil god; there was charm, wrapped in a white cloak, contrasting with his black robe on top. All this happened in mere minutes, but it seemed like an eternity. As if to throw her back to reality.
"You're going to keep staring at me until when?" Luo Sen was almost asleep, waiting for the girl to approach him, thinking she would stand still like a radish, waiting for him to pick her. "Tsk. It seems you have many questions, come here, I don't bite."
Sylphira nodded and approached cautiously, sitting a little away from him, afraid of being sacrificed, at least there she would have space to react, but plans don't match reality.
Luo Sen disappeared from where he was, appearing by her shoulder, "Ah, I don't bite..." He smiled, pulling her by the waist, his lips threatening to brush her ear. "Unless you let me." He was the villain after all.
{The Infinite Update System - reacted to his attitude with a thumbs up.
[The host is certainly running loose, the system approves of his actions. New mission triggered]
[Mission: Take your first concubine.
Reward: the host will be rewarded with 10 days of life, the Emperor-level Alchemy Manual of Master Ge Hong. Furthermore, if the host manages to complete it, he can postpone the previous mission "spend the night with the Dragon Lady".
[Consequences: If the host fails, 365 days will be deducted directly from his vital energy.]
"..."
Sylphira felt her heart race at two distinct moments; she no longer wanted contact with that evil god. "Please don't provoke me, I haven't found a husband yet, if you do these things..." She cursed him for touching her in that way.
Her face was flushed, full of complaints, but silent, her eyes shining with a mixture of anger and shame.
Sylphira bit her lower lip, an innocent gesture, but which proved sensual, revealing the sweetness of her vulnerable figure, with her delicate hands covering his sinful body.
Her body didn't stay still; it moved in a cute way, believing that by showing her delicacy and fragility, that evil man would no longer bother her.
Luo Sen was enchanted by the vision before him, he needed to hurry up to complete the system's mission and didn't know how he would do it.
If it were so simple to invade the Southern Dragon Palace and steal its heir, he would be more than willing, but the problem was that he believed he was invincible in the world, until he discovered that in the Dragon Palace there were at least 200 inner disciples at the Central Formation level, and 10 inner disciples at the golden core stage, with two of them at the intermediate stage and one at the late stage, at their peak.
Furthermore, there were thousands of outer and informal disciples at the qi refinement stage.
How would he get past such a defense? There were 12 hours left until the mission ended; maybe he would have to give up on this mission, the gains don't make up for the losses. "Oh, God of Mount Tai, please take me back to my village, my mother must be looking for me..." Sylphira said with teary eyes, hoping he would accept her convincing attention, because even her mother couldn't resist her sweetness. "Hihi, he will certainly take me there, no matter if he is a god or not, as long as he is a man, mom taught me that I can deceive them."
"No, at the moment we are trapped on this mountain, not even I can get out." He continued, looking serious into her eyes before adding, "It seems there is an emperor-level restriction; only by breaking these restrictions can we get out, but that is not simple; to break it requires that two people practice the reception of Yin and Yang from each other, and this exchange needs to continue until both man and woman reach the true saint level stage..." He finished, hoping to reap an amusing reaction from her, but was surprised that the scene he imagined did not happen, he did not believe she had thicker skin than his and had even taken the initiative.
"God, if that's the case, you and I won't be able to get out until that condition is met," she hesitated to say such words, but even if she could resist, he was stronger than her and in the end, she thought it would be better if she took the initiative herself, Sylphira even had a good impression of him, a strong, mysterious man much more handsome than any other she had seen before, having rationalized all the pros and cons in that instant that seemed like an eternity, she declared, "please use me as you wish..." Her eyes shone with determination, shame, fear and desire.
