"I'm a disciple of Tongsheng Gate! How dare you treat me like this?! You have earned death ten thousand times over!" the white-clothed man snarled fiercely.
Swish!
A jet-black dagger shot forth like lightning, piercing the white-clothed man's throat. His shouts abruptly ceased.
"Ye Yunfei, come here..."
Suddenly, the red-clothed maiden waved at Ye Yunfei, trying to struggle to her feet.
"Don't move just yet. Take this detoxification pill."
Ye Yunfei took out a spirit pill, walked a few steps closer, and handed it to the red-clothed maiden.
"Don't be so stingy. Give me a hand."
The red-clothed maiden appeared weak and soft, her eyes bedroom eyes, giving Ye Yunfei a glare that was half-admonishing, half-coquettish.
Frowning, Ye Yunfei had no choice but to reach out and help her up.
Who would have guessed...
The moment the red-clothed maiden touched Ye Yunfei's hand, she clung to it as if she were drowning and had found a lifeline, clutching tightly and refusing to let go.
Surprisingly strong, her speed was astonishingly fast; with a *whoosh*, she threw herself into Ye Yunfei's embrace.
Then, her smooth, fragrant body wound around Ye Yunfei like an octopus, pressing close and rubbing against him ceaselessly.
Her breath carried a sweet, heady fragrance, like delicate orchids, yet also searingly hot. Puffing against Ye Yunfei's neck and ear, it sent a deep-boned sensation of numbing pleasure through him that nearly caused Ye Yunfei to lose control of his Dao Heart!
"Oh no! So her aphrodisiac has taken effect!"
Ye Yunfei suddenly understood.
Right at that moment...
Ye Yunfei felt a tightness around his body. A second soft, smooth, and delicate figure had already pounced from behind, wrapping her arms tightly around him. An astonishing, delightfully bouncy softness pressed and rubbed against his shoulders and back.
Two long legs wrapped tightly around his waist, clinging firmly.
"I almost forgot! There's another one!"
Ye Yunfei inwardly laughed bitterly.
The one who had pounced from behind was the white-clothed maiden.
Just like that, Ye Yunfei was caught front and back by two disheveled maidens who hugged him tightly and rubbed against him frantically.
He could sense their bodies growing hotter and hotter.
"Hu Miao! Hurry over and help me! Pull them off!"
Ye Yunfei shouted.
Hu Miao, standing to the side, was covering her mouth, giggling uncontrollably.
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, she finally walked over.
Working together, Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao finally managed with great effort to pry the two maidens, now in a state of frenzied madness, off of him.
Even after being pulled away, the two maidens refused to give up, rushing forward again, one from the left and one from the right, trying to pounce on Ye Yunfei.
Luckily, this time Ye Yunfei was prepared. He moved with practiced footwork, easily dodging them.
"Feed each of them a spirit pill," Ye Yunfei said to Hu Miao.
Hu Miao stepped forward and fed each maiden a spirit pill. After a moment, the two young women quieted down somewhat and began to slip into a dazed sleep.
Only then did Ye Yunfei realize his own clothes had been torn into disarray by the two maidens. Moreover, his face and neck were covered with bright red lip prints.
There were even two sets of teeth marks on his left shoulder!
"Those two were poisoned with Yin-Yang Bliss Powder. It requires specifically refined antidotes to cure them. Otherwise, even if the potency fades, they will suffer lingering aftereffects later," Huang Shang suddenly spoke up.
"Alright. Elder Huang, please refine an antidote for them," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Fine. The spirit herbs required happen to be sufficient," Huang Shang replied.
During this period, all the spirit herbs Ye Yunfei had obtained were given to Huang Shang. Huang Shang now essentially served as Ye Yunfei's personal alchemist.
Moments later...
Huang Shang refined an antidote for the Yin-Yang Bliss Powder and administered it to the two maidens.
He was an eighth-grade alchemist, so naturally, he knew how to prepare the antidote for this type of powder.
"I never would have thought... they are disciples of Tongsheng Gate," Huang Shang said, looking at the two maidens with a complex expression.
"Elder Huang, were you once also part of Tongsheng Gate?" Ye Yunfei asked.
"I... was once the gate master of Tongsheng Gate. Later, however, I was betrayed by a disciple under my command and nearly suffered soul obliteration," Elder Huang said slowly, a trace of pain flashing across his face.
"I see," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Master, they're awake," Hu Miao suddenly announced.
They saw the two maidens slowly rousing to consciousness.
"That surname Mo bastard deserved to die!" the two maidens spat, their gazes falling on the white-clothed man's corpse, still filled with bitter hatred.
However, when their eyes met Ye Yunfei's, their faces flushed crimson with embarrassment, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Although what had just transpired was beyond their control and they were unable to restrain themselves, they remembered the scene vividly.
"Ahem. Ladies, you should be fine now. Since you're fine, I'll take my leave," Ye Yunfei said after some thought.
With things so awkward, it was better to leave sooner rather than later.
After saying this, Ye Yunfei made to move, preparing to depart.
"Wait."
Suddenly, the white-clothed maiden spoke up.
"Hmm?" Ye Yunfei stopped.
"You can't leave. Both of us are completely weak right now. If we encounter any evildoers, the consequences would be unthinkable," the white-clothed maiden said.
"What do you want, then?" Ye Yunfei asked.
"We'll follow you," the white-clothed maiden declared.
"Follow me?" Ye Yunfei frowned.
"Are you just going to abandon us?" the white-clothed maiden pressed.
"Yes! And you took advantage of us just now; now you want to leave us?" the red-clothed maiden chimed in.
"*I* took advantage of *you*? I'd say I was helpless," Ye Yunfei said with some exasperation.
"I don't care! We're following you anyway. You can't just abandon us," the red-clothed maiden shot Ye Yunfei a sideways glance, then felt her delicate face flush crimson as she recalled the madness of clinging to Ye Yunfei earlier.
"Alright," Ye Yunfei said after some thought, nodding reluctantly.
The two maidens' bodies were indeed still weak from the lingering effects of the poison. If they encountered anyone with ill intentions, they'd be in no state to defend themselves.
"Fine. You can come with us," Ye Yunfei gave in and nodded.
The two maidens were overjoyed and immediately stood up.
Shaking his head, Ye Yunfei led the way out of the valley.
Huang Shang had already returned to the pill cauldron by this time.
"You two sisters, my master is actually very nice. When you've spent more time with him, you'll see. Heehee..."
Hu Miao huddled together with the two maidens and spoke up.
In front, Ye Yunfei overheard this and couldn't help but feel beads of black sweat form on his forehead.
Three women gathered together, chirping and chattering; things had truly become a lot livelier.
Soon, Ye Yunfei learned the names of the two maidens.
The white-clothed maiden was named Xiao Xuexi, the senior sister.
The red-clothed maiden was named Wu Xianling, the junior sister.
From then on, Ye Yunfei, accompanied by three females, traveled throughout the Tianying Small World, gathering spirit herbs.
In addition to herbs, they would occasionally come across other treasures.
This Small World had once served as the headquarters of the Tianying Clan, so many treasures were inevitably left behind.
"Qin Jian! You actually colluded with people from Huangtian Sect to hunt us down! Xiaoyao Pavilion and our Tianyuan Sect are both sects of the Great Qin Empire; we should be united! Aren't you afraid that after returning, our senior leaders from Tianyuan Sect will settle accounts with you?!"
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei heard a voice filled with grief and indignation roar out.
"That's He Houfeng's voice!"
Ye Yunfei's expression immediately darkened.
"Hahaha! Such an ugly word—collusion! I'll be honest with you. Our Xiaoyao Pavilion surrendered to Huangtian Sect long ago. Now, we belong to Huangtian Sect as a subordinate force. Every move made by your Tianyuan Sect and that little thief Ye Yunfei is reported by our Xiaoyao Pavilion to Huangtian Sect!"
A proud and arrogant burst of laughter rang out.
"So that's how it is. Xiaoyao Pavilion has no reason to continue existing," Ye Yunfei heard this and couldn't help but let out a cold chuckle.
At this moment...
Ye Yunfei's soul sense stretched far out.
He discovered four panicked figures stumbling and staggering, fleeing hurriedly in his direction.
They were precisely Long Yingying, He Houfeng, Wu Yan, and Xiao Lin from Tianyuan Sect.
Chasing closely behind them was a large group of pursuers.
