It's worth noting that while a priest's Dispersion Spell isn't directly harmful, it does emit energy fluctuations.
Naturally, these energy waves were detected by Phantylia.
From her perspective, Su Jinyan had clearly seen through her illusionary veil.
His smile and wave seemed to signal:
"Hey, come out already! Stop hiding; I've unraveled your trick."
Xianzhou truly is an intriguing place, where even beings as insignificant as ants can surprise me.
Since the other party has taken the initiative to greet her,
it aligns with Phantylia's nature to respond accordingly.
Ripples spread through the air.
In a corner previously thought to be empty, a strikingly beautiful young woman materialized seemingly out of thin air.
Clad in simple black attire, she had mesmerizing light blue eyes, a delicate upturned nose, skin pale like snow, and slightly curved pink lips. Her straight jet-black hair cascaded over her snow-white shoulders like a waterfall.
From her ample bosom barely concealed by sheer black chiffon to her slender, enticing waist, and down to her snow-white, shapely legs, every aspect accentuated her alluring beauty.
This was the first time since arriving on Xianzhou that Su Jinyan encountered a young woman with near-perfect figure and appearance, seemingly flawless at first glance. Yet for some inexplicable reason, she gave him an unsettling, ominous vibe.
Tsk, tricked by the narration again.
Isn't there a saying on Xianzhou: "The face reflects the heart"?
If Fu Xuan's initial impression was one of endearing charm, then his immediate perception of this woman could be summed up as:
She doesn't seem like someone you'd want to mess with.
Despite raising his guard to its highest level, Su Jinyan diligently remembered what the narration had advised:
"Keep smiling, no matter what you see, do not show surprise."
Already, the Lord of the Eternal Night Teahouse was stirring with commotion.
None of the patrons seemed to notice when the woman appeared; they only knew she materialized abruptly from the corner with a swift motion.
Meng Ming, the observant and perceptive co-owner of Lord of the Eternal Night's teahouse, swiftly cleared out all the patrons.
"Little gongzi, our first meeting—allow me to greet you warmly." Phantylia sauntered towards Su Jinyan, lazily leaning against his wicker chair with her slender, snow-white legs neatly crossed.
Tingyun scrutinized this suddenly appearing young woman with caution, instinctively drawing closer to Su Jinyan's embrace. She felt an overwhelming sense of danger emanating from this newcomer. In front of Phantylia, Tingyun seemed weak and helpless, akin to a grasshopper that could be crushed effortlessly.
Su Jinyan nonchalantly fiddled with his phone, casting a brief glance at Phantylia.
Leaning forward, Phantylia's eyes held an unreadable expression. "Is the little gongzi feeling shy? Why so silent?"
Su Jinyan put away his phone, a faint smile playing on his lips. "May I inquire about your esteemed name, miss?"
"And by the way, is this how ladies typically greet strangers?"
Phantylia's lips curved upwards as she smiled softly. "My surname is Yue, given name Shi—you may call me Yue Shi, dear gongzi."
"There are many ways to greet someone, varying across different places. What kind of greeting does the gongzi prefer?"
Quietly holding Tingyun's delicate hand, Su Jinyan reassured her not to fear.
"I am Su Jinyan, a diviner of the Grand Divination Commission," he introduced himself. "This is my friend, Shuttle Envoy of the Luofu Sky-Faring Commission—the Lady Tingyun."
"From Miss Yue Shi's words, it seems you've traveled to many places?" Su Jinyan observed.
Phantylia smiled and waved her round fan gracefully. "Su-gongzi is correct," she replied. "I am indeed an experienced traveler, having visited numerous planets and familiarized myself with their customs."
"I had long heard about Xianzhou Luofu's exquisite beauty and its abundance of exceptional individuals."
"Thus, I yearned to visit and explore Luofu at the earliest opportunity."
"Today, fortunate as I am to finally see it, your reputation holds true. And who would have thought that this Rising Immortal Ferry harbors such a handsome person as yourself, Su-gongzi?"
Su Jinyan fell silent. Was he being flirted with by Yue Shi through these words?
Tingyun's charming face darkened, her gaze toward Phantylia turning quite unfriendly.
"Benefactor, this girl speaks so frivolously; she's truly annoying. She doesn't seem like someone from a respectable family." If speaking to others, Tingyun might have tempered her language for appearances' sake. But before her Benefactor, there was no need for restraint. It was best to be direct—after all, her Benefactor always sided with her over strangers.
Phantylia chuckled softly, paying little heed to Tingyun's remarks. To be precise, she never considered Tingyun significant throughout their encounter. The fox's life lay entirely within her control; with a mere thought, she could extinguish it. Why bother taking notice?
Su Jinyan frowned slightly, saying, "Miss Yue Shi, your praise is too generous."
"Earlier, I noticed Yue Shi-ji sitting alone in the corner and, out of curiosity, decided to greet you."
"My apologies for any intrusion; please forgive me. As it happens, Tingyun and I have other matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave now."
This individual seemed quite formidable.
If not for the narrator's prompt, my perception alone wouldn't have detected when she took her seat there. This indicated that her abilities far surpassed mine.
Since I couldn't confront her, perhaps avoiding her would suffice?
Su Jinyan gently took Tingyun's small hand, ready to depart.
However, Phantylia swiftly demonstrated otherwise: Hmph, trying to escape? Not so easy.
Her delicate, snow-white fingers caressed his cheek, her gaze suggestive. "How can Su-gongzi be so remarkably handsome?"
"You know, I happen to need a guide familiar with this place," she purred. "Would Su-gongzi be interested...?"
Feeling slightly uneasy, Su Jinyan gently pushed her hand away. "Yue Shi-ji, please maintain propriety."
["Fear nothing, just unleash your explosive power—it'll overwhelm her."]
Su Jinyan remained silent, momentarily at a loss.
Unfazed, Phantylia licked her lips sensuously. "Does Su-gongzi enjoy playing hard to get?"
Tingyun could no longer tolerate this audacity. Didn't this woman realize where she was? How dare an outsider flirt openly with someone Tingyun held dear, right under her nose?
Did she truly believe being a Shuttle Envoy of Luofu Tian's Sky-Faring Commission was an insignificant role?
With a sharp crack, Tingyun forcefully struck Phantylia's wrist with her folding fan. Coldness flickered in Tingyun's beautiful eyes. "Miss Yue Shi, don't you think you've gone too far?"
"The Benefactor has clearly rejected you," Tingyun continued sternly. "If you persist in your advances, do not blame me for calling for help."
Some powerful beings focus solely on honing their physical strength and lack expertise in mental defenses. Why not take a chance and try?
Su Jinyan frowned deeply, discreetly unleashing a Mental Lash towards Phantylia.
If successful, it would mean he could potentially control her mind. Even if it failed, there would be no backlash against him.
However, after initiating the Mental Lash, his efforts met with a response akin to a stone sinking without a trace into the sea—utter silence.
A barely perceptible smile tugged at the corners of Phantylia's lips.
This little fellow is quite amusing, utterly oblivious to his limits.
Had I not feared revealing my true identity, daring to challenge me like this would have led to your immediate demise right here.
But considering how delectable your body seems, I'll temporarily forgive your transgressions.
