Late Stage Golden Core Realm!

"You're actually a eunuch!" the consort exclaimed, her pupils dilating in shock and humiliation.

The consort couldn't bear the thought of a eunuch being her substitute in the emperor's chamber. All her efforts, sacrifices, and suffering throughout the years had led to this moment, only to be mocked and humiliated.

Gao Xuan smiled and said, "Indeed, I am. But I despise being called a eunuch by others."

As he approached her step by step, the consort's eyes widened in fear, and she instinctively retreated to the corner of the bed.

Gao Xuan's expression remained harmless as he said, "Alone in a room with a man, it's only natural to engage in certain activities."

Panic filled the consort's eyes as she realized Gao Xuan's intentions. She couldn't bear the thought of being humiliated by a eunuch. Although a eunuch couldn't engage in certain activities, she had heard stories of eunuchs and palace maids finding solace in each other's company, and some eunuchs even had multiple wives and concubines outside the palace. Those who couldn't satisfy their physical desires often resorted to mental perversion. She, as one of the emperor's consorts, couldn't allow herself to be treated in such a manner.

She decided to take her own life, as she couldn't bear the humiliation. Even if she died, she wouldn't allow herself to suffer this indignity.

But Gao Xuan was keenly aware of her intentions. Just as she made a move, he swiftly stepped forward and sealed all her acupoints, rendering her powerless.

The consort's body went limp and she collapsed on the bed. She couldn't exert any strength, but her ability to speak and express herself remained unaffected.

Gao Xuan had deliberately left her in this state; otherwise, it would be rather dull if she acted like a corpse during their task.

The consort felt a sense of despair, yet she stubbornly uttered, "I am the emperor's consort! If he learns of this, you will be condemned to death for your audacity!"

Gao Xuan paid no attention to her warnings and proceeded to undress.

His main objective was to gain the villain points from the system, without any ulterior motives.

Helplessly, the consort watched as he undressed. There was nothing she could do. Soon enough, she saw something that filled her with even greater despair.

"You're not actually a eunuch!" she exclaimed in disbelief.

The consort's wide eyes displayed fear and shock. Her entire worldview seemed to crumble in an instant. The series of events tonight had already taken a toll on her fragile heart.

She had anticipated being humiliated, but the reality was far worse than she had imagined. She hadn't even considered giving her body to the emperor, let alone being defiled by a fake eunuch. It shattered her soul, leaving her pale and devoid of any color.

"I warn you, my true identity is the current Saintess of the White Lotus Sect! If you dare to act recklessly, the White Lotus Sect will hunt you down, no matter how far you run. They will make you suffer an agonizing death!"

Gao Xuan sneered in disdain. "The so-called White Lotus Sect means nothing to me. I've never heard of it. If I dared to sleep with the empress, why would I hesitate with you, a mere Saintess?"

With that, he dismissed the consort's protests and proceeded with his task.

The consort let out a muffled groan, her eyes rolling back as tears streamed down her face.

"Ding! The host has plundered the consort's (White Lotus Sect Saintess) first night. Reward: 2500 villain points."

The system's notification sounded, causing Gao Xuan to pause momentarily. He hadn't expected to receive a greater reward from the consort than he did from the empress. It was somewhat unexpected. Perhaps it was due to her dual identity, not only as a consort but also as the Saintess of the White Lotus Sect, that the reward was higher.

"I will personally kill you!" the consort seethed with intense hatred. If her gaze could kill, Gao Xuan would have died a thousand deaths by now.

Gao Xuan grabbed her chin and smiled. "I do enjoy your fiery spirit. I hope you can maintain it."

"You will have a wretched end, you...mmph..."

The consort cursed through gritted teeth, but soon, she could no longer speak.

...

The Next Day

It was already mid-morning when Gao Xuan finally completed the task from the previous night. Despite not having slept a wink, he appeared refreshed and full of energy. The credit for his vigor went to the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Technique. After a night of arduous battle, not only had he successfully completed the mission, but his cultivation had also advanced significantly.

Although Consort Shu Fei had fallen into a deep sleep on the bed, the injuries on her body had unknowingly undergone significant healing. The harmonizing effects of the Yin-Yang integration were beneficial to both parties involved. This was the genuine and fundamental essence of demonic cultivation.

Unlike those unorthodox sects that practiced dual cultivation, whose techniques were merely superficial branches of demonic cultivation, often involving the use of young girls as cauldrons or draining men's Yang energy.

After freshening up, Gao Xuan sat cross-legged on the floor and allocated all the villain points he had obtained from the previous night.

A surge of pure vitality nourished the Demon Pill suspended in his Linghai, causing his cultivation to reach the later stage of the Golden Elixir realm.

Gao Xuan opened the system panel and checked his attributes:

[Name]: Gao Xuan

[Age]: 20

[Cultivation]: Late Stage Four Symbols Golden Core Realm

[Techniques]: "Demonic Devouring art" (Divine-tier), "Cloud Dispersing Palm," "Thunderous Legs," "Eagle Claw Technique"...

Apart from the techniques he had cultivated himself, the others were automatically acquired after devouring the essence of Wan Deshun.

Next, Gao Xuan slightly increased his visible cultivation, reaching the early stage of the Ling sea realm.

With a thought, he turned his gaze toward Consort Shu on the bed, and to his surprise, her attribute panel also appeared in his mind.

[Name]: Song Yuning

[Alias]: Yuer

[Age]: 18

[Cultivation]: Consummation of the Soul Palace realm

[Identity]: Saintess of the White Lotus Sect, Consort of the Great Qian Dynasty

"Her alias is Yuer?" Gao Xuan chuckled softly, finding the name quite fitting for Consort Shu's temperament.

Her cultivation was also quite high, and her talent was impressive. Unfortunately, she had encountered someone who had cheated the system.

Stretching lazily, Gao Xuan washed up and went to the canteen of the Mixed Bath Department to get some food. Upon returning, Consort Shu had already awakened but was immobilized due to her acupoints being sealed. Her eyes stared daggers at Gao Xuan, filled with an intense desire to tear him apart.

Gao Xuan disregarded her gaze and started eating without a care.

The food from the canteen was indeed good. Although not as exquisite and luxurious as what the emperor consumed, as the highest-ranking official in the Mixed Bath Department, Gao Xuan enjoyed an ample feast.

Consort Shu's expression remained indifferent as she watched Gao Xuan devour his food without any reaction. She coldly said, "I need to brush my teeth!"
