Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Peng Yu
"I guarantee it’ll send you to heaven!"
The Shopkeeper’s words carried a sleazy tone as he led Song Wanning to a row of shelves. The various medicines displayed there were all related to a certain kind of activity.
The wide assortment of items was an eye-opener for Song Wanning.
In both her past and present lives, she had spent most of her time on cultivation and alchemy, or out gaining experience. Although she knew many people had wild lifestyles, this was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes.
The people here had no goal of ascension; all they thought about was seeking pleasure.
Because their lives were so long and the place so small, they felt life was dull and hopeless, leading them to commit some shocking and unconventional acts.
By comparison, she felt the deceitful outside world wasn’t so bad. At least people there had something to strive for.
A strange look appeared on her face, but she had no choice but to mimic Feng Youming’s personality and buy a few items.
While Feng Youming wasn’t as promiscuous as Peng Yu, he still had quite a few lovers, each a beautiful Heavenly Immortal with an extraordinary figure.
Song Wanning pursed her lips. ’He sure has all the luck.’
Just as she took her things and was about to leave, a figure suddenly walked in.
"Boss, you’re back!"
The Shopkeeper immediately went forward to greet the newcomer, bowing in respect.
Hearing this, Song Wanning looked up and was met with a flawlessly beautiful face.
It was Peng Yu.
Her features were delicate and otherworldly. Her voluptuous figure was tightly wrapped in a revealing dress, outlining her stunning curves.
The sight of her was enough to make one’s blood rush.
But her eyes were sharp, without a hint of amorousness.
It was somewhat jarring.
Peng Yu was also sizing up Song Wanning. She stared at the medicine bottle in her hand, a slight smile touching her lips.
"Hiss... so the Netherworld Elder is into this sort of thing."
As she spoke, she stepped forward, reaching out to touch Song Wanning’s hand.
Song Wanning’s expression darkened. She quickly pulled away and snapped, "Peng Yu, don’t get any ideas about me! I’m not falling for your tricks!"
A long time ago, Peng Yu had tried to seduce Feng Youming. Although she hadn’t succeeded, the attempt had caused him to lose a great deal of face, and he had been at odds with Peng Yu ever since.
’Seeing this now, it seems she hasn’t given up.’
"Tsk, the Netherworld Elder is as petty as ever. Why are you still holding on to the past?"
Peng Yu swayed her hips and leaned in again. "I invented a new medicine a few days ago. It’ll make you feel ecstatic. How about the two of us test it out together?"
Her gaze was bewitching, her eyes like starry vortexes that could make one lose their senses.
Fortunately, Song Wanning’s Divine Soul was powerful, and she immediately broke free. She grew warier of Peng Yu.
’There’s something wrong with this woman’s eyes. She must have learned some kind of bewitching art.’
She quickly backed away, her face grim. "Cut it out with your disgusting tricks, or don’t blame me for being merciless!"
With that, Song Wanning stormed out.
Peng Yu turned, her eyes gradually darkening as she watched him leave.
The corners of her mouth drooped. She tossed the item in her hand to the Shopkeeper and went into the back room.
The Shopkeeper cheerfully caught it, placed it on the shelf as if it were nothing unusual, and glanced toward the back room.
’The boss has been coming here every day recently. I wonder what she’s up to.’
...
「Meanwhile」
Song Wanning walked out of the shop and casually headed toward other stores.
Aside from the Leisure Court Residence, the other shops hadn’t changed. She wandered around aimlessly, buying many seeds, Magical Treasures, and other things not found in the outside world. She even discovered many lost Elixir Pills.
This made her quite excited.
She had only mentioned searching for Pill Recipes on a whim, but now she was genuinely considering it.
’Since I’m already here, I might as well gather some legacies that don’t exist in the outside world. Even if I can’t use them myself, the family will surely find a use for them someday.’
So, for the next few days, she pretended to be sightseeing, wandering through several cities and buying many good things.
She also attended a few auctions and won several fine items.
After some time had passed, she felt it was about time to return to the Feng Family and report to the Feng Family Patriarch. She also wanted to figure out how to awaken the dragon pulse.
One day, as she was passing through a forest, she suddenly heard a cry of alarm.
’Someone’s here?’
Song Wanning immediately stopped and spread her Divine Sense.
In the forest, two figures were tangled together, stark naked and clinging to each other tightly.
At first glance, they looked like a pair of illicit lovers having a tryst.
But a closer look revealed that the man’s eyes were bulging, his body was trembling, and he was screaming for help in agony.
His features were so contorted that it took Song Wanning a couple of seconds to connect him with that young genius from the Sima Family.
Just then, the other face came into view. To no one’s surprise, it was Elder Yu from the Peng Family.
Seeing Peng Yu again, Song Wanning’s brow furrowed almost imperceptibly. The woman gave her the impression of being very shrewd, and those mysterious eyes, in particular, were not right.
She immediately hid herself and secretly observed what Peng Yu was doing.
At first, she thought Peng Yu was an Evil Cultivator, but the longer she watched, the less it seemed to be the case...
She saw Peng Yu continuously caressing the Sima Family’s young genius’s body. A layer of frost would appear in her hand wherever she touched.
But when it landed on the genius’s body, it transformed into a ball of black flame, scorching his flesh black wherever it passed.
"AHHH—"
The Sima Family’s young genius let out a painful groan, his body convulsing nonstop. But miraculously, his aura was actually growing stronger...
Song Wanning’s brow twitched. ’Could this be a Dual Cultivation Technique unique to the Secluded Land?’
But there seemed to be no mention of this in Feng Youming’s memories...
Time passed bit by bit. Song Wanning watched with her own eyes as the Sima Family’s young genius’s skin was completely shed and replaced, and his cultivation rose a full stage right before her.
The Golden Small Sword in her Sea of Consciousness was also dumbfounded, watching the scene in disbelief.
’Is cultivation really this easy?’
’No wonder the Sima Family’s young genius is clamoring to marry into her family. A rapid advancement just by spending time in bed... that’s a huge shortcut.’
After their intense "battle," the two slowly got up and dressed.
The Sima Family’s young genius obediently helped Peng Yu dress, a shy and timid expression on his face. "Yu, have you thought any more about me marrying into your family? I really can’t stay in the Sima Family any longer!"
His eyes reddened with grievance, a truly pitiful sight.
Peng Yu’s expression remained unchanged. She slapped his hand away with cold disgust. "We’ll talk about this later."
"You should go back first."
The Sima Family’s young genius seemed to be long accustomed to her heartless and fickle nature.
His expression just faltered for a moment before he left, looking aggrieved.
After he left, Peng Yu’s face darkened. She raised her hand and destroyed everything around them, then actually leaned against a tree trunk and began to vomit.
Song Wanning: "..."
The Golden Small Sword was also at a loss. "If she’s so repulsed by this, why does she still do it?"
