Chapter 655 - 386: Fairy Playing in the Water
However, Zou Feng had sensed something was amiss long ago and had circulated the Yangsui Scripture in advance, keeping his mind clear.
By now, he had figured it out. This place had been transformed into an extremely powerful "Domain."
To be precise, it was an "Immortal Realm" of the Ninefold Celestial Court.
As for why an Immortal Realm had appeared here, it was obviously a trap. The Tribulation Cultivators, who had breached the Celestial Hearing Tower and were continuously invading, had set it specifically for stragglers like Zou Feng.
Since Zou Feng had spent a whole night on the Refinement of the Dragon Poison, it wasn’t at all strange that some Tribulation Cultivators had gotten ahead to set up a trap.
And now that his mind was clear, Zou Feng could also smell the faint scent of blood.
’Many of my fellow disciples from the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect must have stumbled in here and perished while trying to escape.’
Even if these five "Fairies" still frolicking in the water weren’t the masterminds, they were undoubtedly involved.
Zou Feng himself was on the run. Seeking revenge for his sect members now would be incredibly unwise.
But he had deliberately pretended to fall for the trap and come straight here. What he truly coveted were these five moving External Pills!
In Zou Feng’s eyes, these five Fairies were quite literally a feast for the eyes.
If he could successfully take them down, his Outer Alchemy Dao would surely break through to the Realm of Perfection, allowing him to advance to the Dao Foundation Realm Late Stage.
While on the run, Zou Feng had been constantly frustrated. He had no time to break through to the next Realm, which left him at a disadvantage.
After all, it went without saying that once he reached the Dao Foundation Realm Late Stage, he wouldn’t be completely drained after using just two or three Big Moves against an ordinary Golden Core Realm Tribulation Cultivator.
Thus, even knowing the considerable risk, Zou Feng chose not to leave just yet.
But these Fairies were not weak. A quick glance told him that at least three of them had reached the Dao Foundation Realm Late Stage.
In the Ninefold Celestial Court, that was the level of a "Golden Celestial General."
Not to mention, the five of them had jointly created this Immortal Realm, which would give their combat power a massive boost.
A direct confrontation would be incredibly difficult; a quick victory would be impossible.
And if the fight dragged on, the commotion would attract other nearby Celestial Generals, or even an Impermanence...
In short, Zou Feng had no intention of attacking them head-on. He had to try a sneak attack, to see if he could catch one or two of the Fairies off guard.
So, he pretended to have been bewitched by the Immortal Realm, arriving with a dazed and bewildered expression.
Upon seeing the five Fairies, he put on an even better act, looking as if he were utterly captivated and had completely lost all sense of judgment.
Then, like an impatient monkey, he hid behind a rock on the bank and began to visually defile the five Fairies.
The Fairies played along, pretending not to notice him. In truth, they were allowing the effects of the "Forgotten Worry Immortal Realm" to corrode him more completely.
Once he was thoroughly corrupted, they wouldn’t even have to lift a finger; the man would willingly offer up his everything.
As he watched, Zou Feng finally looked like he couldn’t take it anymore and furtively slipped into the stream from his hiding spot.
Seeing this, the Fairies, though still feigning ignorance, could barely contain their smiles.
They assumed that after slipping into the water, Zou Feng would surely swim over underwater, harboring ill intentions.
But this was perfect. The Dual Cultivation Dao, one of the Nine Immortal Ascension Skills, yielded the greatest benefits when the other party’s mind was completely enthralled.
"Let’s get this straight. Whoever he grabs first gets to go first. No fighting, sisters!"
The Fairy in the bright red gauze tube top seemed to be their leader.
She spoke first to prevent any chaos later.
"That’s fair enough. But we also have to agree—whichever sister gets him first can’t drain him completely dry!"
"Don’t worry. This boy looks full of life. He won’t be that easy to drain..."
In truth, while the Immortal Realm and the Fairies were busy bewitching Zou Feng, was he not also poisoning and bewitching them in return?
With the poison he released using his old Chaos Finger technique, enhanced by the Great Universal Hand, Zou Feng could make the Fairies unconsciously driven by desire, causing them to overlook many important details.
For instance, they should have been more cautious and carefully confirmed whether Zou Feng had truly fallen for their trick.
Unfortunately, between their arrogance as hunters and the effects of Zou Feng’s poison, all they could think about was devouring the delicious meal that was right in front of them.
After all, Zou Feng wasn’t just exceptionally handsome; because he cultivated the Outer Alchemy Dao, his aura was also incredibly delectable.
To put it bluntly, any woman from the Ninefold Celestial Court who practiced the Dual Cultivation Dao or the Outer Alchemy Dao would be naturally captivated by him. He didn’t even have to try.
The five women had just finished their hushed discussion when one of the Fairies let out a startled cry.
An ecstatic expression immediately spread across her face.
Underwater, a hand as large as a cattail fan gripped her ankle. The "delicious meal" had chosen to come to her first.
The other women all looked on with regret.
"Fourth Sister is so lucky..."
"Lucky you! Now hurry up, and don’t forget to leave some for the rest of us!"
The woman called Fourth Sister smiled sweetly, then cried out again as she was dragged beneath the surface.
Of course, Zou Feng wasn’t about to finish the woman off right then and there, in full view of the others.
He had overheard their conversation. He would take this opportunity to drag one of them to a place out of sight and claim first blood.
Zou Feng then dragged "Fourth Sister" to a shallow area dotted with rocks, hidden from the others’ view.
And this Fourth Sister, still oblivious, just kept giggling sweetly.
Seeing this, Zou Feng smiled too and pounced on her viciously.
Of course, he had no intention of actually performing Dual Cultivation with her. He was waiting for the perfect moment to deliver a fatal blow without alerting the others.
Soon, a series of indescribable, intimate sounds filled the air.
"Fourth Sister, how is it?" The woman in the red gauze, not completely stupefied, managed to ask.
Unfortunately, Fourth Sister was now so thoroughly poisoned that her mind was gone. She only responded in a daze, "He’s so rough... I love it..."
Hearing this, the other Fairies burst into coquettish laughter.
Little did they know that as soon as Fourth Sister had spoken those words, her legs kicked out, the terror in her eyes revealing she had finally realized something was wrong.
However, she could no longer speak. Her mouth opened and closed, but only muffled whimpers escaped her throat.
But to the other women, these whimpers only made them laugh all the more.
They clearly mistook her cries for sounds of someone reaching the peak of ecstasy.
Before long, the once succulent Fourth Sister had been reduced to a shriveled corpse.
And in Zou Feng’s hand lay a translucent, glistening External Pill.
A single glance was enough for Zou Feng to know that the quality of this Pill was exceptionally high.
It surpassed all the External Pills he had refined before.
This was partly due to Fourth Sister’s own high quality, but mainly because Zou Feng’s skill in the Outer Alchemy Dao had become so refined, making it easier for him to create a masterpiece.
’Fourth Sister, check. Next up is Fifth Sister!’
Zou Feng hadn’t chosen his victim at random.
He had already seen that of the five sisters, the first three were all at the Dao Foundation Realm Late Stage.
’At close range, there’s a real chance they’d see through my act.’
That’s why Zou Feng had to pick off the two "soft persimmons"—the fourth and fifth sisters—first.
So, Zou Feng repeated the process. He slipped back underwater, his poisoned hand reaching for the fifth sister.
When her ankle was grabbed, "Fifth Sister" was instantly overcome with ecstasy.
"It’s my turn! It’s my turn! You’ll have to wait, sisters..."
With that, she cooperatively submerged herself and followed Zou Feng to "play."
The three remaining women, however, were growing impatient.
After all, the previous wait had already left them itching with anticipation, and now they had to wait again. It was truly frustrating.
"Tsk, you know... why do we have to go one by one?"
"Exactly! Fourth Sister got to go first as her prize. Why are we still lining up? Let’s just finish him off so we can get ready for the next one to take the bait!"
As they spoke, the three women shot off in the direction where the fourth sister had been taken, all of them unbearably eager.
Seeing this, Zou Feng sighed to himself. ’Looks like sneaking bites is off the table. Time to officially start the banquet.’
