Season 3 chapter 1
Liuguang Sect
On every road leading into the sect, protective talismans were hung.
Each path, every tree, every branch, every home, every temple
was covered in talismans upon talismans,
forming a sacred net of divine seals.
Far from this sacred defense,
in a noisy marketplace tucked away in a corner of the city,
Lin Chaoyuan's only son, Lao Duan,
was drinking wine with several girls in a private room.
Suddenly
the door creaked open by itself.
And into the room walked a girl
no, not just a girl,
but a celestial beauty,
an enchantress.
Her walk was like that of a peacock,
graceful and proud.
Her clothes shimmered like a princess from an ancient royal court.
She didn't speak
but her presence alone stole the air from the room.
The moment Lao Duan saw her,
he quickly dismissed all the other girls,
commanding them to leave without another word.
He turned to the beautiful woman and invited her to sit beside him.
She walked forward
calm,
but there was something in her eyes...
A thirst.
A deep, bloodthirsty calm.
Like a storm hidden behind a mirror.
She came and sat down without hesitation.
And then, slowly...
She reached out and placed her hand gently on top of his.
