The Hehuan Sect was clearly deep within a remote mountain forest, as the group had been flying for half a day without exiting. However, judging by the expressions of Liu Mei and the others, they had anticipated this. Familiar with the route, they descended into a mountain and used a formation to open a hidden cave dwelling.
Upon entering, they saw the ceiling embedded with luminous pearls, and though the space was small, it was fully equipped with several small rooms.
"This is our temporary base of the Hehuan Sect. We'll rest here for the night before continuing," Liu Mei instructed the group.
"Yes, Senior Sister," they replied in unison.
Seeing Lin Fengmian and the others looking exhausted—especially Lin Fengmian, who appeared particularly drained—Liu Mei waved her hand, and a few bottles of pills appeared on the stone table.
"These are fasting pills. Take one each day to satisfy hunger. Make do for now."
The five "crops" (as they were metaphorically referred to, implying they were like plants to be harvested) stared at the pills in surprise before trying one. Sure enough, their previously rumbling stomachs quieted, leaving them feeling refreshed and full of energy.
Liu Mei tossed out a few sets of clothes and pointed to one area. "Over there is a bathing pool. Go wash up and change."
"In half an hour, we'll meet here. I have some things to tell you and will teach you some basic spells."
"Yes, Senior Sister!"
The five picked up the luxurious outfits, clearly different from the ordinary disciple attire, and looked at them with excitement.
Lin Fengmian suspected that this was just to polish them up, making them more presentable to deceive mortals later.
The group headed to the designated bathing area, where a large pool had been constructed, seemingly fed by mountain streams. Since they were all men, there was no need to be self-conscious. They undressed and entered the water.
However, Lin Fengmian noticed Xie Gui sneaking around, fiddling with something in a mysterious manner.
An hour later, they reconvened in the middle of the cave. Liu Mei and the others had also bathed and now looked radiant, like fresh flowers blooming, irresistibly seductive.
When it came to appearance, Xia Yunxi was undoubtedly the most stunning, followed by Liu Mei and Chen Qingyan. Yet, the one drawing the most attention was the quiet Mo Ruyu. Though short in stature, she had a voluptuous figure, and now, dressed in a revealing robe, she was alluring beyond belief.
The group of "crops" couldn't take their eyes off the immense evil (a humorous way to refer to her ample chest), perfectly illustrating how "brotherhood weighs less than four ounces" when compared to what was right in front of them.
The other women were also attractive, especially Liu Mei, who was equally, if not more, voluptuous. But what set Mo Ruyu apart was her wealth and generosity.
Liu Mei looked at the group of men, now dressed in white robes and looking quite dashing, and giggled.
"It's true what they say, clothes make the man. You all look so handsome now; you're making even me swoon."
With her words, the group's attention returned to her seductive figure, and one by one, they straightened up unconsciously.
Among them, Lin Fengmian was undoubtedly the most striking. The white robe made him appear tall and graceful, like an immortal descending to the mortal realm. Back when Lin Fengmian was still a notorious playboy in the city, he had relied on his good looks to flirt with many young women.
Liu Mei gave them a coquettish glance. "We're heading out to put on a show for the mortals, so you'll need to show some skills."
Covering her mouth, she laughed. "Since you all seem to like Junior Sister Mo, why don't we have her teach you some simple, quick-to-learn elemental spells?"
Mo Ruyu playfully crossed her arms and pouted. "Oh, Senior Sister, you're slacking off again. Isn't this your job?"
Liu Mei's laughter was filled with charm, her chest trembling as she giggled, and the group couldn't help but feel their hearts race.
"How about I let you pick first later?"
Only then did Mo Ruyu agree, stepping forward to teach the group some basic elemental spells. However, due to her revealing attire, her every movement was seductive, making it impossible for anyone to focus.
Their eyes were glued to the way her chest bounced with each step, and their minds wandered far from the lesson. All they could think about was how those heaving mounds seemed about to spill out at any moment. They wanted nothing more than to help her carry the weight of them.
Even when they tried focusing on her mouth, all they saw were her delicate lips moving, teasing their senses further.
As a result, a few of them began to unconsciously bend over slightly in response to the "respect" they felt they owed.
Wang Yanran watched the group's reaction, giggling behind her hand. "Junior Sister Mo, I don't think they have much interest in the lesson. They seem to be craving a different kind of education."
Mo Ruyu snorted playfully and deliberately puffed out her chest, continuing to teach without caring how much they actually learned.
Liu Mei's gaze swept across the group, and she noticed that if there was one person genuinely paying attention, it was Lin Fengmian. Perhaps because his purity remained intact, he was listening intently and fully absorbed in the lesson.
When it came time to test their understanding, all but Lin Fengmian were at a loss, their minds blank, completely unaware of what Mo Ruyu had just taught.
Liu Mei looked at them all flirtatiously and playfully scolded, "It seems you've all rested enough, full of energy now."
She glanced at the other women and suggested with a mischievous smile, "It's a long night ahead, ladies. How about one each?"
Lin Fengmian's heart sank. Now he understood why they were looking for those at the sixth to eighth layer of Qi Refinement. Not only for flying on magical weapons but also to drain their vital energy on the road. They probably never planned to bring them back alive.
Turning to look at Xie Gui, he saw the same anxious expression in his eyes.
Wang Yanran happily agreed. "Sure, I have no objections. As we said earlier, Junior Sister Mo, you get first pick."
The other two women also had no objections, but Xia Yunxi frantically waved her hands. "No, no… I'll pass…"
Liu Mei giggled, "That won't do. Junior Sister Xia
