Zuoqiu Qingyun thanked and sat down with grace, praising, "The Immortal’s control of Mysterious Energy has reached an incredibly nuanced level. Regrettably, my cultivation base is still quite far from reaching the Heavenly Human Realm. Thus, I am unable to discuss the profound uses of Mysterious Energy with the Immortal."
While speaking, he took a whiff of the food and wine, poured himself a drink, and extolled with satisfaction, "The dishes are colourful and fragrant, the Immortal’s culinary skills are impressive. Especially this pot of wine, its colour is that of flower nectar and its scent is beautifully quiet. It would be impolite of me, Qingyun, not to drink."
He then drank all the wine in his cup in one go, licked his lips, and praised, "Good wine, an indeed good wine. It’s as if I am tasting an Immortal, leaving a long aftertaste with a rich flavour."
"Speaking of which, I’ve been wanting to meet with the Immortal multiple times recently, but you’ve always avoided me." While playing with his wine glass, Zuoqiu Qingyun spared a glance at Immortal Tian Yan and smiled enigmatically, "I wonder why this Immortal acted haughty at first but courteous later? Since you’ve invited me for a moonlight meet and prepared such meals, could it be that..."
"Young Master Zuoqiu, please do not misunderstand."
Immortal Tian Yan gracefully sat down and served a glass of wine for herself.
As she took a sip of wine, a hint of spring seemed to appear in her eyes. She looked at Zuoqiu Qingyun with a delicate and tender glance, seemingly profound, "The meal I’ve prepared for you today is just to bid you farewell."
"Farewell?" Zuoqiu Qingyun’s expression faltered slightly, "Qingyun has not planned to leave the Southern Desert yet."
Immortal Tian Yan gently raised her jade arm and refilled Zuoqiu Qingyun’s cup. With a captivating smile playing on her lips beneath her veil, she said, "The farewell I am referring to is different from your understanding. Young Master, do not resent me on the way to the underworld."
At her words, Zuoqiu Qingyun’s face stiffened and his smile froze on his face.
Suddenly, his face turned icy-cold, his expression twisted into a painful grimace, "Tian Yan, what do you mean? Did you actually poison the wine? Could it be that you hold some grudge against me?"
"Alas~"
Immortal Tian Yan sighed deeply, "There is no feud between us. It’s just that, unfortunately, I have someone in mind that I want to be with. Unfortunately, Young Master Zuoqiu, you happen to have a grudge against him."
"You... damn you!" Zuoqiu Qingyun’s face turned pale, he was both frightened and angry, "Tian Yan, you are audacious to plot against a descendant of the Grade Four Prominent Family, the Direct Disciple of Academic Palace!"
"Alas~ Who can help it? That man is unwilling to yield~ Therefore, I have no choice but to use your head as a peace offering." Immortal Tian Yan sighed deeply, "As an apology, these dishes were personally prepared by me as a token of my sincerity. Young Master, do not waste them~ Fill yourself up, so you won’t be hungry on the journey to the underworld."
"You… That man, could it be Wang Shouzhe? Tian Yan, you really are despicable." Zuoqiu Qingyun’s face turned somewhat unsightly, a surge of anger ignited in his chest. He had calculated everything before he came, even guessing why Immortal Tian Yan would want a private meeting with him. However, none of his guesses turned out to be true!
At this moment, Zuoqiu Qingyun felt his male pride was being trampled under Tian Yan’s feet and brutally crushed.
"Why bother?" Immortal Tian Yan’s eyes grew cold, "Zuoqiu Qingyun, you are just a cultivator at the Seventh Layer of the Spirit Platform Realm. Killing you, in my eyes, is akin to crushing an ant."
"The reason I want you to die from ’Drunk In Mortal World’ poison is just so that I don’t dirty my hands."
"Alright, alright." Zuoqiu Qingyun was furious, and he chuckled bitterly, "Tian Yan, since you’ve taken the first step, don’t blame me, Zuoqiu Qingyun, for taking it to the next level. Indeed, I was willing to give my heart to the bright moon, but the moon only shines into the gutters."
This time.
It was Immortal Tian Yan’s turn to look surprised, she arched her eyebrow and said, "Zuoqiu Qingyun, don’t try to intimidate me with hollow threats. I don’t believe that you can overturn the heavens even after you’ve been poisoned with ’Drunk In Mortal World.’"
While the two of them were engaging in their argument.
Wang Shihai and his group of five, together, were using the ’Star Concealment Formation’ to slowly approach the pavilion. Wang Shihai was controlling the Array Plate with his Divine Sense and was sweating slightly due to the intense effort it required.
Meanwhile, the face of the Little Commandery Prince, Wang Shihai, had turned an ominous shade of green. If it weren’t for his brother, Wang Shihai, who was constantly indicating to him to show restraint and wait for the right opportunity, he would have leapt forward and torn Zuoqiu Qingyun into thousands of pieces.
...
"Tian Yan, your ’Drunk in Mortal World’ concoction is indeed cleverly made," Zuoqiu Qingyun scoffed, continuing to hold his wine cup and emptying it in one gulp. "What a pity, you’ve run into this Prince."
"You dare to drink the Drunk in Mortal World so boldly? Impossible…" From the eyes behind Tian Yan’s veil, a trace of disbelief and astonishment was revealed. The Drunk In Mortal World was a precious and ancient recipe from the Sky Pillar. It was colorless and tasteless, enhancing the refreshment of the wine. Even a Heavenly Human Realm Cultivator would take a while to detoxify this poison.
"Ancient recipe? Heh heh." Zuoqiu Qingyun’s expression was somewhat grotesque and teasing. "It’s merely some minor tricks. Immortal, haven’t you noticed anything amiss yet?"
"?"
Tian Yan, the immortal, blinked in surprise. After a brief internal inspection, her eyes instantly turned cold. She felt a strange sensation arising within her organs and a soft tingling sensation was spreading throughout her body, making it reddish and hot.
Although this symptom was not pronounced yet, it was enough to prove that she was poisoned.
"You poisoned me?... "The expression on Tian Yan’s face changed drastically. She hastily activated her Mysterious Energy, intending to capture Zuoqiu Qingyun alive and force him to provide an antidote. However, suddenly a strong numbing sensation invaded her body, making her delicate body soften. With a moan, she slumped back into her stone seat.
"Oh dear, I forgot to tell the Immortal. This poison is ’Golden Cicada Crisp Soul Scatter’, another ancient recipe. It is colorless and tasteless. In addition to causing a victim to feel numb and weak, it also continually generates primal and uncontrollable feelings, until it eventually drives the victim mad. Any attempt to mobilize Mysterious Energy will only accelerate the onset of the poison.
Presumably, Immortal, you have already experienced its cleverness." Zuoqiu Qingyun leisurely refilled his cup while savoring the wine and laughed maliciously, "Tsk, this wine mixed with Drunk in Mortal World tastes excellent."
Tian Yan’s eyes were as sharp as frozen knives: "Zuoqiu Qingyun, I seem to have underestimated you. Is there an antidote for this poison?"

"Antidote? Heh heh, of course there is." Zuoqiu Qingyun fixed his greedy eyes on Tian Yan, laughing wickedly, "It only requires this prince to favor the Immortal well, then the poison will naturally be detoxified."
"Humph, infamous rogue. How incapable must you be to resort to such means to deal with a woman? Scum!" Tian Yan felt a surge of heat in her heart that was growing stronger. She silently thought to herself that this poison was unique and not to be underestimated.
"Good, very Good. Actually, thinking about it, Immortal and I are very much alike, quite a suitable match." Zuoqiu Qingyun laughed heartily, his expression was exceptionally confident and strange, "but rest assured, Immortal. Once I have favored you, you will not be able to live without me. At that time, you will cast aside Wang Shouzhe and Li Shouzhe like old shoes and live only for this prince."
A chill enveloped Tian Yan. Regardless of whether Zuoqiu Qingyun was bluffing or not, she would never allow herself to be violated by the likes of him.
"Forget it." Despite feeling reluctant, Tian Yan had no choice but to make a decisive move. She had reservations about using that treasured item in this situation, but she had no alternative.
"Immortal, you must have arranged for this area to be deserted in order to kill me. Why don’t you call for help? Let’s see if anyone will answer, even if you scream your throat hoarse." Zuoqiu Qingyun laughed heartily.
Suddenly!
A righteous and stern voice shouted, "Let go of Tian Yan, you lecher. I ... no, Tian Yan, I, the Little Prince, am coming to help you."

As the voice fell.
Several figures jumped out from the shadows, surrounding Zuoqiu Qingyun completely. The one leading them was the dignified, handsome, and extraordinary Little Commandery Prince, Wu Jinghao.
Even though he spoke righteously, he could not take his eyes off Tian Yan.
