Volume 2, Chapter 156 – Defeated by That Impure Heart

Qu Qingtang gasped for breath in large gulps, the sinister burning heat continuously surging through her body making her consciousness feel somewhat hazy.

Under the effects of the drug, her flower bud would produce an extreme reaction to even the slightest external stimulation.

Qu Qingtang felt like she was going insane.

Given a Venerable Saint’s tolerance to poisons, just how long had she been drugged?

That little fox was still using these boring illusions to provoke her anger.

Qu Qingtang better not catch her, or else she couldn’t guarantee how gentle her methods would be.

“Mother… why… do you hate us so much?”

“Mother… didn’t you have us with Bamboo Mama because you loved her?”

“Mother… after you kill Bamboo Mama, will you kill us all together too?”

The several daughters questioned Qu Qingtang together with pitiful expressions.

Qu Qingtang felt her head was about to explode.

“Lu Zhuxin! Come out! Stop disgusting me with these phantom images!”

“Hehehe…”

Qu Qingtang heard a string of laughter.

“Why is that, Qintang? Can’t you just scatter these illusions with a single palm strike?”

Lu Zhuxin’s voice came from behind Qu Qingtang.

Just as Qu Qingtang was about to turn around, someone embraced her from behind.

“Haa…”

The little fox’s soft exhale came at her ear.

The little fox pressed tightly against Qu Qingtang’s back. This familiar feeling made Qu Qingtang recall all the little moments from those ten years in the dream.

The little fox loved being close. After they were intimate, the little fox also loved pressing against her like this without a stitch on.

However, all that beauty was ultimately just a dream.

Qu Qingtang wanted to push her away, but the fox’s little hands were one step ahead, wrapping around to her chest.

Hot, moist breath blew against Qu Qingtang’s earlobe, provoking her rationality.

“I’m so curious, Qintang…”

“You can ruthlessly insult me, yet you can’t bear to harm your daughters…”

“I was your loving wife for ten years…”

“Yet you’re unwilling to give me even a bit more of your heart… You’re truly so heartless… Qintang…”

Qu Qingtang bit her silver teeth lightly.

The little fox behind her had both hands restlessly placed on her chest, kneading forcefully.

This body was already abnormally sensitive to others’ touch under the effects of the Bliss demonic medicine.

The little fox’s actions were like pouring hot oil onto a raging fire.

This unusual stimulation nearly burned away Qu Qingtang’s rationality.

She grabbed hold of those restless little hands.

Her pretty face flushed, with a trace of moisture at the corners of her eyes.

“Lu… Zhuxin…”

She ground out a few words between clenched teeth.

“Stop right now!”

Lu Zhuxin let out a light laugh.

“Qintang… my Qintang…”

“Tell me…”

“Why is it that even though you’ve already determined your relationship with me is false… you still hold a thread of guilt and pity for your daughters?”

“Hehe… Is it because over these ten years, you placed all your limited love and conscience on your daughters?”

“Hehe… Self-moved, deceiving yourself, using that self-righteous maternal love to prove you’re not heartless and cold-blooded?”

“Qu Qingtang… you’re truly…”

“…hypocritical!”

Qu Qingtang clenched her silver teeth. She opened her eyes, and sharp sword light flashed from within her pupils before vanishing.

“Lu Zhuxin!!”

She gave a great shout.

Sword intent transformed into a spiraling storm. With her as the center, it swept across the entire cage in an instant.

The little fox clinging to her back dissipated instantly.

Under the bombardment of the Venerable Saint’s incomparably powerful cultivation, the ground cracked inch by inch.

The entire cage turned to nothing.

“…Haa!” Qu Qingtang opened her eyes. “Was that also a dream just now?”

She lifted her head and discovered she was in a dark secret chamber.

The ground was densely covered with profoundly mysterious runes.

Before she could see clearly what exactly these runes were, a wave of heat surged through her body.

Qu Qingtang hugged her chest with both hands, her face flushed as she crouched on the ground.

Her body trembled lightly, broken whimpers escaping from between her teeth.

‘Host, you’re poisoned.’

Qu Qingtang struggled to lift her head slightly.

“System? What place is this exactly?”

She had stayed in this small world for quite some time, but she had never seen a place like this, nor had she ever seen such a formation.

[Crackle… Surnamed Qu!]

[Crackle… Run quickly, don’t stay there!]

Reаԁ oո КαtRеaⅾіոɡCаfе

[Crackle… Beneath your feet is the Bliss Demon Sect’s demonic formation! Lu Zhuxin wants to trap you to death in the Bliss Demon Sect ruins!]

Hearing this, Qu Qingtang was greatly alarmed. She forcefully suppressed her physical discomfort and her Venerable Saint spiritual consciousness suddenly spread out.

She seemed to be inside a mountain’s belly.

And outside the mountain belly, countless figures stood densely packed.

Their auras were weak, most only at the fourth or fifth realm, yet they all inexplicably emanated an alluring sweet fragrance.

These were all fox demons!

“It’s already… too late…” Qu Qingtang spoke bitterly.

…

Lu Zhuxin stood outside the Bliss Demon Sect ruins.

Through the spells left behind by the fox demons, she could clearly observe Qu Qingtang’s condition within the ruins.

“After dragging it out for so long, the formation’s final stage is finally complete.”

Lu Zhuxin gently let out a breath.

Her voice, neither hurried nor slow, transmitted into the ruins.

“Qu Qingtang, at the very end, as a farewell, I’ll answer one more question for you.”

“Why was I able to construct a dreamscape that even a Venerable Saint couldn’t detect any flaws in?”

“You were wrong, Qu Qingtang.”

“That dreamscape wasn’t constructed by me alone.”

“Rather, with me as the foundation…”

“It was jointly constructed by the fox demon race, assembled from the nine great tribes, a total of one hundred and seven thousand, three hundred and thirty-six dream weavers, creating a beautiful dream as real as reality itself.”

“This is how you were able to travel the world for ten years in that dream without ever discovering any flaws.”

“As a Venerable Saint, you never would have imagined, would you? What ultimately forced you to this point wasn’t some Venerable Saint, nor some reclusive supremely powerful being.”

“Rather, it was a group of weak fox demons who have never been regarded by you powerful ones!”

“Therefore, Qu Qingtang, this is your defeat.”

“Defeated by your arrogant self-importance.”

“Defeated by…”

“That impure heart of yours.” Lu Zhuxin murmured this last sentence softly to herself.

As Lu Zhuxin’s words fell, the fox demons behind her revealed their demon fox forms one by one.

They swayed their tails, rubbed their ears, and sang joyful ancient ballads from their mouths.

Among the mountains, the fox demons danced gracefully.

Pleasant singing drifted on the wind.

Rich, exotic fragrance spread across the mountains and fields, as if colorful flowers had suddenly bloomed throughout the wilderness.

Those traces of exotic fragrance were gathered to one place, all poured into the ruins where Qu Qingtang was.

Qu Qingtang heard that singing and smelled that rich aroma.

‘Warning!’

‘Host, those fox demons are gathering their pheromones to activate the Bliss Sect’s demonic formation and the lust within your body!’

‘They want to use lust to shatter your divine will!’

‘Host, you must make a decision quickly! You’re not a true Venerable Saint! Your mental fortitude is far from as resilient as a true Venerable Saint’s. You cannot withstand such an impact.’

‘Your self-awareness will directly dissipate under such an impact!’

‘Make a decision quickly!’

Qu Qingtang’s entire body went limp on the ground.

At this moment, she could no longer speak any words.
