Chapter 2287: Chapter 758: Fairy Tears
Bailu Palace.
At this moment, the tranquil bedchamber echoed with faint, scattered footsteps.
Only to see the Second Palace Master, whose luxurious red dress resembled a peony blooming in the fiery red clouds, pacing back and forth in the room.
She was mature and stunningly beautiful, her exquisite face full of contemplation like an April blossom. Her fair hands subconsciously clasped and unclasped, indicating her restless mood.
After a long time, Shen Baishuang seemed to make a decision, her beautiful eyes resolutely stepping out of her own chamber, transforming into a rainbow light heading towards the Goddess Palace Treasure Vault.
“Greetings, Second Palace Master!”
Although such treasure vaults are filled with prohibitions, besides the three Palace Masters, it takes several direct lineage elders to open them together.
Yet, this heavily guarded place still had a Core Formation Elder standing watch.
“Hmm.”
With a noble and icy demeanor, Shen Baishuang nodded and threw out her Palace Master Token, then infused it with her Nascent Soul magic power.
Moments later, the vault opened with a boom, and she proceeded straight, opening several prohibitions, entering the deepest part of the vault.
The Goddess Palace’s treasure vault consists of three layers.
Other than her and Shen Jianjia, the Third Palace Master Shen Yiren couldn’t open the prohibition before reaching the Nascent Soul stage.
The third layer didn’t hold much.
Besides some top-grade rare resources, heavenly and earthly treasures, there were some forbidden sealed items.
Shen Baishuang approached a sandalwood shelf that emitted a faint gleam, and opened a jade box labeled with the three characters [Fairy Tears].
Inside lay a porcelain bottle, entire body like white jade, and its surface adorned with intricate cloud patterns.
“Little sister, for the Goddess Palace, I can only… wrong you.”
Shen Baishuang carefully took out the porcelain bottle, murmuring in her heart.
After deep contemplation, she finally thought of a way to keep Xuanmu Taoist in the Goddess Palace.
Drug him!
Drug both Xuanmu Taoist and her sister Shen Yiren.
As long as Xuanmu Taoist and her sister have a relationship, she would have a reason to justifiably keep him.
This matter might be excessive, possible to anger Xuanmu Taoist.
But afterward, she would offer her sister Shen Yiren as a price, marry him, and further promise a Nascent Soul opportunity, what reason would he have to refuse?
It’s merely a slight loss of freedom.
Compared to the fame of the Goddess Palace’s Third Palace Master spreading across the Starry Sky Sea and the Nascent Soul opportunity, what is this loss of freedom?
How many people wish for it yet can’t attain it?
As for her sister Shen Yiren…
Though she felt a bit sorry for her sister, Shen Baishuang believed there was a certain affection between her sister and Xuanmu Taoist.
Even without this matter, the two might end up together in the future, she’s just giving them a little push.
If her sister truly had to harbor resentment… then let it be towards her, the elder sister.
“Even though Xuanmu Taoist cultivates the Nourishing Life Technique, along with other trump cards, it’s impossible to resist the Fairy Tears.”
Shen Baishuang looked at the white jade porcelain bottle in her hand, her beautiful eyes deep as black jade.
After deciding to drug them, how to execute it and what to use became a problem.
Considering her sister Shen Yiren cultivated the Nourishing Life Technique, having consumed numerous heavenly and earthly treasures, ordinary aphrodisiacs would be nearly ineffective on her; and Xuanmu Taoist’s mysterious origins meant he might possess other trump cards; so, Shen Baishuang thought of the [Fairy Tears].
According to records, this drug was incredibly potent; once tainted, one would be overwhelmed with desire, vividly imagining countless enticing scenarios, yearning for the opposite gender to an unprecedented extent.
The body would uncontrollably seek contact with the opposite sex, craving skin-to-skin intimacy, which could only be resolved through dual cultivation and merging.
Most importantly, as a fourth-rank forbidden aphrodisiac, Fairy Tears was colorless and tasteless, so much so that even a Nascent Soul True Lord wouldn’t detect it.
It could even infect the Nascent Soul Spirit Body of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, making it irresistible even for a Nascent Soul True Lord if poisoned.
After placing the white jade porcelain bottle into her storage ring, Shen Baishuang closed the jade box and then left the treasure vault.
…
“I was just about to start closed-door cultivation, and heard that Elder Xuanmu is preparing to venture out in search of a Nascent Soul opportunity. In that case, I shall arrange a banquet in three days to see him off, wishing him a safe journey.”
On this day, Lu Changsheng received a message sent by Second Palace Master Shen Baishuang.
He thought that after reporting his departure from the Goddess Palace, this Second Palace Master, or the Great Palace Master, might try to persuade him a bit, expressing that the Starry Sky Sea wasn’t safe, and advising against going out.
Unexpectedly, the Second Palace Master arranged a send-off banquet instead.
But thinking it over, he felt relieved; it was probably because the Second Palace Master knew he wanted to leave, and rather than forcibly trying to keep him, appearing generous and open would improve their relationship.
“Alright, please report back to the Second Palace Master that I will attend the banquet then.”
Lu Changsheng nodded at the messenger, continuing to refine the Brahman Demon True Body.
Three days later, as it was time for the banquet, Lu Changsheng flew out of Rongyue Island, heading to the Goddess Palace, Bailu Palace for the banquet.
…
Bailu Palace.
Amidst a palace radiating refinement and luxury.
“Second Sister, if it’s a farewell banquet, it could have been at the Heavenly Immortal Tower, why here?”
Shen Yiren found it odd when her elder sister summoned her, informing her that Elder Xuanmu was about to depart in search of a Nascent Soul opportunity and holding a farewell banquet.
After all, her elder sister usually never allowed male cultivators into her palace.
Moreover, as palace masters, inviting a male cultivator to their palace for a banquet might not look good if word got out.
With a few inexplicable glints in her beautiful eyes beneath her willow eyebrows, Shen Baishuang casually replied, as if it were a common day: “It’s just a private banquet, nothing to mind.”
Seemingly worried that her sister would still doubt, she continued: “Little sister, this trip’s banquet is under the guise of a farewell, but it’s actually to make Elder Xuanmu feel more connected to our Goddess Palace…”
“Mhm.”
Shen Yiren gently nodded, aware that Elder Xuanmu’s name had already spread throughout the Starry Sky Sea.
