Chapter 758: Tears of the Fairy!

White Dew Palace.

In the tranquil inner chamber a series of soft footfalls echoed.

Dressed in a magnificent red gown the Second Palace Master paced back and forth like a peony blooming amidst a blazing sunset.

Her mature and alluring face was etched with deep thought her slender white hands clasped together her fingers tightening and loosening revealing her inner turmoil.

After a long while Shen Baishuang seemed to make a decision her beautiful eyes resolute as she left her chamber and transformed into a streak of light heading towards the Divine Maiden Palace’s treasure vault.

“Greetings Second Palace Master!”

Although this treasure vault was heavily guarded with restrictions that could only be opened by the three Palace Masters or multiple core elders working together.

A Core Formation elder still stood guard at this important location.

“Yes.”

Shen Baishuang nodded with an aloof and noble expression producing her Palace Master token and infusing it with her Nascent Soul magical energy.

Moments later the treasure vault rumbled open and she proceeded directly through several more restricted areas to the deepest part of the vault.

The Divine Maiden Palace’s treasure vault had three levels.

Apart from her and Shen Jianjia even the Third Palace Master Shen Yiren couldn’t open the restrictions to the third level before she advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.

The third level didn’t contain many items.

Besides some top-grade rare resources and natural treasures there were also some forbidden sealed items collected by the Divine Maiden Palace.

Shen Baishuang approached a sandalwood shelf glowing faintly and opened a jade box labeled [Tears of the Fairy].

Inside lay a white jade porcelain vial covered in intricate cloud patterns.

“Little Sister for the Divine Maiden Palace I have no choice but to trouble you.”

Shen Baishuang carefully took out the porcelain vial and murmured softly.

After much deliberation she finally devised a way to keep Fellow Daoist Xu in the Divine Maiden Palace.

Drugs!

She would drug both Fellow Daoist Xu and her little sister Shen Yiren.

Once Fellow Daoist Xu and her little sister had relations she would have a legitimate reason to keep him here.

Although this was a bit extreme and might anger Fellow Daoist Xu.

But afterward she would offer her little sister Shen Yiren as a tribute and marry her to him along with the promise of a Nascent Soul opportunity. What reason would he have to refuse? He would only lack a bit of freedom.

Compared to the renowned Third Palace Master of the Divine Maiden Palace and a Nascent Soul opportunity what did this bit of freedom matter? Many would kill for this chance!

As for her little sister Shen Yiren. Although she felt a little guilty she believed there was already some affection between her and Fellow Daoist Xu.

Even without this incident they might have ended up together in the future. She was simply giving them a little push.

If her little sister really had to blame someone then she could blame her.

“Even if Fellow Daoist Xu cultivates health preservation techniques and has other tricks up his sleeve he definitely can’t resist the Tears of the Fairy.”

Shen Baishuang stared at the white jade porcelain vial in her hand her eyes as deep as black jade.

After deciding to use drugs the next question was how to administer them and what kind of drug to use.

After all these were no ordinary mortals but two cultivators at the peak of the Core Formation Stage!

Considering that her little sister Shen Yiren cultivated health preservation techniques and had consumed many natural treasures ordinary aphrodisiacs would be almost useless against her. And Fellow Daoist Xu had a mysterious background and might possess other hidden methods. Therefore Shen Baishuang thought of this forbidden drug – Tears of the Fairy.

According to records this drug was extremely potent. Once it took effect it would ignite a raging fire within causing one to be overwhelmed with lustful fantasies and an unprecedented desire for the opposite sex.

The body would involuntarily seek out contact with the opposite sex craving intimacy and only through Dual Cultivation could the effects be neutralized.

Most importantly as a fourth-rank forbidden aphrodisiac Tears of the Fairy was colorless and odorless. Even Nascent Soul True Lords would find it difficult to detect.

It could even infiltrate the Nascent Soul spirit body of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if a Nascent Soul True Lord was poisoned they wouldn’t be able to resist.

After placing the white jade porcelain vial into her storage ring Shen Baishuang closed the jade box and exited the treasure vault.

“I was just about to enter closed-door cultivation when I heard that Elder Xu is preparing to go out and seek his Nascent Soul opportunity. In that case let’s hold a farewell banquet for Elder Xu in three days and wish him a smooth journey.”

On this day Lu Changsheng received a message from the Second Palace Master Shen Baishuang.

He thought that after he reported his departure from the Divine Maiden Palace the Second Palace Master or the Great Palace Master would try to persuade him to stay saying that the Starry Sea was not safe and he should avoid going out.

Unexpectedly the Second Palace Master was actually hosting a farewell banquet.

But thinking about it he realized it made sense. The Second Palace Master probably knew she couldn’t force him to stay so it was better to act magnanimous and improve their relationship.

“Alright please inform the Second Palace Master that I will attend the banquet.”

Lu Changsheng nodded to the messenger and continued to refine the Brahma Demon True Form.

Three days later seeing that it was time for the banquet Lu Changsheng flew out of Moonmelt Isle to the Divine Maiden Palace’s White Dew Palace.

White Dew Palace.

The palace was filled with exquisite and luxurious details.

“Second Sister if it’s just a farewell banquet wouldn’t the Heavenly Immortal Restaurant suffice? Why here?”

Shen Yiren was a little puzzled when her sister called her over saying that Elder Xu was about to leave to seek his Nascent Soul opportunity and they were holding a farewell banquet.

After all her sister never allowed men into her palace.

Moreover as Palace Masters inviting a man to their palace for a banquet would not reflect well on them.

Shen Baishuang’s beautiful eyes beneath her willow brows flickered with a strange light as she casually replied: “It’s just a private banquet what’s there to worry about?”

Seemingly worried that her sister would question further she continued: “Little Sister the real purpose of this banquet is to strengthen Elder Xu’s sense of belonging to our Divine Maiden Palace.”

“Yes.”

Shen Yiren nodded gently knowing that Elder Xu’s reputation had already spread throughout the Starry Sea.

Many forces now knew that the Divine Maiden Palace had a guest elder called “Fellow Daoist Xu”.

Not only was he a third-rank talisman maker but he also possessed a fourth-rank puppet.

In this situation many forces would definitely try to poach him away from the Divine Maiden Palace.

If news of the Puppet Battle Formation nine third-rank puppets and the quasi-fourth-rank spirit pet spread Shen Yiren even suspected that some forces would be willing to offer a Nascent Soul opportunity as an enticement.

“Second Sister Elder Xu’s spirit pet devoured the Six Paths Demon Concubine’s ghost pet. He’s definitely being watched by the Six Paths Palace now. Will he be in danger if he goes out?”

Shen Yiren looked at her stunningly beautiful sister her hair tied up in an elegant bun and asked.

“It’s hard to say.”

Shen Baishuang reclined on the jade couch her graceful figure outlined by the luxurious red dress incredibly alluring especially the curves of her ample hips and the tantalizing glimpse of her shapely legs.

“But as a third-rank diviner the fact that Elder Xu suddenly chose to go out at this time suggests that he might have sensed his Nascent Soul opportunity.”

“When it comes to a Nascent Soul opportunity even we shouldn’t try to dissuade him too much.”

Shen Baishuang sighed.

A Nascent Soul opportunity was of paramount importance to any cultivator. They had no reason to question it too much.

“Yes” Shen Yiren nodded softly understanding this logic.

Seeing her sister’s unusual concern for Fellow Daoist Xu Shen Baishuang felt her guilt lessen even more.

After all if her sister was repulsed or disgusted by Fellow Daoist Xu or had no feelings for him at all she wouldn’t be able to convince herself to do such a thing.

Although the two sisters had an ordinary relationship and weren’t very close they were still biological sisters. They simply had different personalities and values.

“Elder Xu has great fortune. To go from a clan cultivator to where he is today he could be called a child of fortune.”

“His appearance demeanor conversation and temperament are all excellent. He won’t mistreat Little Sister.”

“Moreover after this he will be essentially attached to the Divine Maiden Palace. He won’t be able to bully or mistreat Little Sister.”

Looking at her sister’s delicate and elegant face Shen Baishuang continued to try and alleviate her guilt.

“Elder Xu.”

The steward of White Dew Palace saw Lu Changsheng dressed in a loose-fitting green robe looking refined and handsome and immediately went to greet him respectfully leading him into the hall.

The palace was very spacious and filled with exquisite and luxurious details. The floor was covered with a beautiful carpet that resembled the crimson glow of the setting sun.

It was clear that the Second Palace Master was fond of red and the sunset.

“Elder Xu you’ve come.”

In the palace Shen Baishuang who was chatting with her sister Shen Yiren saw Lu Changsheng arrive as promised. A gentle smile appeared on her exquisitely beautiful face like a peony blooming in spring no longer cold and aloof.

“Fellow Daoist Xu.”

Shen Yiren also greeted Lu Changsheng softly.

Although her appearance and figure were not as stunning and voluptuous as her Second Sister Shen Baishuang she possessed her own unique elegant and serene charm.

Especially when she smiled two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks like a bright and youthful girl devoid of any seductiveness.

“Greetings Second Palace Master Third Palace Master.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the two beauties approaching and cupped his hands in greeting.

Although he had seen them many times.

Seeing the two sisters with similar appearances but completely different temperaments standing side by side Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel a sense of amazement.

After all this kind of visual beauty was not simply one plus one equals two.

It was a multiple impact.

Thinking of this Lu Changsheng realized he had never seen all three Palace Masters together.

“There’s no need for formalities Elder Xu. This is just a private banquet.”

Shen Baishuang smiled and gestured for Lu Changsheng to come forward. Then they arrived at the dining hall which was already filled with delicacies.

As a Spirit Chef who had tasted many delicacies Lu Changsheng could tell at a glance that this table of delicacies was worth a fortune all made from third-rank demon kings and high-grade spirit medicines.

After Lu Changsheng and Shen Yiren took their seats Shen Baishuang sat nearby and gracefully poured wine for them.

This wine was very unusual. As soon as the crimson liquid was poured a rich and mellow aroma filled the entire hall.

“Elder Xu this wine is called [Crimson Flame Wine]. It’s made from a third-rank demon core and the essence of nine-day crimson energy. It might be a bit strong the first time you drink it but this wine not only promotes magical energy and helps break through bottlenecks it also stabilizes cultivation and strengthens the body.”

Shen Baishuang said with a smile.

Tears of the Fairy had an aphrodisiac effect.

To prevent Lu Changsheng and her sister Shen Yiren from immediately noticing something amiss and becoming alert Shen Baishuang specially chose Crimson Flame Wine this potent wine to mix the Tears of the Fairy into.

This way even if Lu Changsheng and her sister felt something was off they would attribute it to the effects of the Crimson Flame Wine rather than an aphrodisiac.

By the time they realized the aphrodisiac effect wasn’t from the wine it would be too late.

“Oh?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the wine in his cup glowing like liquid fire and said with a smile: “In that case I must savor it carefully.”

He took a small sip.

A burning sensation spread across his tongue like a raging fire instantly making his mouth water.

Then the hot wine flowed down his throat like a small flame into his stomach transforming into streams of heat that spread throughout his body.

But the next moment Lu Changsheng frowned slightly.

As a fourth-rank body cultivator even though he had sealed his fourth-rank Blood Energy and physique he still had meticulous control over his body.

As the wine was digested and flowed through his body he instantly felt a slight warmth rising in his lower abdomen.

What’s going on?

Does this wine have an aphrodisiac effect?

In his early years during his wedding night or moments of intimacy with his wives Lu Changsheng had drunk many such wines.

But in this private banquet why would the Second Palace Master prepare such a wine? Does she not think of me as a man?

However feeling the main effect of the wine as streams of hot air flowed through his limbs washing over his meridians and bones Lu Changsheng didn’t think of it as an aphrodisiac.

He simply thought that the wine was rare and potent which was why Shen Baishuang used it to entertain him.

“I haven’t had the chance to formally thank Elder Xu for the matter with the Six Paths Demon Concubine. Let me take this opportunity to toast you as a token of my gratitude.”

Seeing that Lu Changsheng only took a small sip Shen Baishuang raised her cup and continued her eyes glancing around.

“Second Palace Master you’re too kind. I merely did what I had to do.”

Lu Changsheng said feeling a little overwhelmed and finished the wine in his cup.

“Little Sister you should try some too.”

Shen Baishuang didn’t forget her sister Shen Yiren and spoke to her.

Shen Yiren didn’t usually like to drink and when she did she preferred fruit wines rarely drinking strong alcohol.

But since her sister had arranged this banquet and was being so gracious she drank a cup then stuck out her tongue like a cat finding it spicy.

“Hahaha if Little Sister finds this wine too strong then try this instead.”

Shen Baishuang seeing this knew that her sister didn’t drink much and had also prepared fruit wine pouring her a cup.

Then she turned to Lu Changsheng and said: “The Starry Sea is not very peaceful right now. Why did Elder Xu suddenly decide to go out?”

“To be honest with the Third Palace Master a few days ago I had a sudden premonition a feeling that my Nascent Soul opportunity might appear. So I thought I’d go out and see if I could find it.”

Lu Changsheng took a bite of demon king meat and said.

The divination he displayed in the Divine Maiden Palace was only at the entry level of third-rank. He couldn’t divine a Nascent Soul opportunity.

So the best excuse was a vague premonition a sudden impulse.

“In that case my sister and I will toast Elder Xu and wish you a smooth journey and a successful Nascent Soul breakthrough.”

Shen Baishuang immediately filled her and Lu Changsheng’s cups raised her cup looked at her sister and continued.

After speaking as if worried that Lu Changsheng wouldn’t drink she drank hers first in one gulp.

“.”

Lu Changsheng felt the warmth in his lower abdomen and didn’t really want to drink.

After all the effect of the Crimson Flame Wine on his meridians and bones was almost negligible since he possessed the Chaos Body and fourth-rank body refinement.

But the aphrodisiac effect was quite noticeable.

But now on Moonmelt Isle if he drank this wine he could only wait for it to dissipate which was quite uncomfortable.

But seeing the Second Palace Master drink it all in one gulp her beautiful eyes looking at him expectantly Lu Changsheng raised his cup and downed the wine.

With another cup of wine down Lu Changsheng suddenly felt that the Second Palace Master was indescribably beautiful.

Her exquisite face her slender and graceful figure especially her ample bosom accentuated by the red dress.

Although he could only see a hint of her fair skin it made his mouth dry and his body heat up. He wanted to caress and savor her.

“Something’s not right!”

Lu Changsheng instantly realized something was wrong.

Although the Second Palace Master was alluring and a true beauty he Lu Ancestor was not so easily swayed!

As for the wine’s aphrodisiac effect most wines wouldn’t affect him.

Even if they did he had only had three cups. How could the effect be so strong? As he became alert Lu Changsheng noticed another anomaly.

Although the Second Palace Master Shen Baishuang had a delicate blush on her face from the Crimson Flame Wine the Third Palace Master Shen Yiren’s condition was a bit exaggerated.

Her fair cheeks were flushed and her peachy face was alluring.

Her clear autumn-water eyes seemed somewhat dazed.

Shen Yiren was a cultivator at the peak of the Core Formation Stage and cultivated health preservation techniques. Even the strongest wine shouldn’t affect her like this right? Moreover after one cup Shen Yiren’s Crimson Flame Wine was replaced with fruit wine.

So.there’s something wrong with the wine!?
