Lonemoon was unsure if he was mistaken, but it seemed like the moment they entered the valley, something formless brushed past him. The feeling was very strange. It was like he had fallen into something. However, that feeling vanished as quickly as it came.

“Shen Ying...” He paused and turned to his two companions. It was obvious that they had noticed the same thing he did. “What was that?”

Shen Ying remained silent for a couple of seconds. “I don’t know yet.”

Lonemoon frowned even more deeply. He activated his divine perception to scan around the valley. Behind him, a familiar voice called out.

“Wait, Fellow Daoist Lonemoon...” Lu Lin rushed up to join them anxiously.

Lonemoon pursed his lips. He turned around and asked, “Is there something else, Fellow Daoist?” Is this a leather candy?

Lu Lin stopped in front of the three of them, looking worried. “Fellow Daoists, this Corroding Vacant Valley is very deep and wide. All of you are in grave danger. Fellow Daoists Lonemoon and Yi Qing are men too...” She looked at each of them with pity and tenderness in her eyes. “Why don’t the three of you stick with my Dawning Pill Sect?” She pointed to more than ten other female cultivators dressed similarly as her, standing behind her. “We will protect you!”

“There’s no need!” Lonemoon turned down her offer immediately. Busybody! He turned around and continued on his way.

Lu Lin became even more anxious. “But this is far too dangerous for the three of you to tackle alone. What’s more, you don’t have the map around this place...”

Map!

Lonemoon halted and turned back around. “You have a map of the Corroding Vacant Valley?”

Lu Lin stared blankly at him for a couple of seconds before she realized she had said too much. Nervously, she looked around. Then, she gritted her teeth and said, “I’ll tell you the truth – it’s not just our Dawning Pill Sect that has the map. The other sects also have a map of what this place looked like in the past. They’re just unsure if they can be used.”

“What it looked like in the past?” Lonemoon picked out the keywords she uttered.

“That’s right!” Seeing that Lonemoon still did not understand her, Lu Lin continued, “Many years ago, the Corroding Vacant Valley did not look like this. It was said that it used to be a prosperous immortal mountain. It was rich in spirit Qi, and many sects wanted to set up base here. However, the Dark Night came and caused it to become like this overnight.” Lu Lin looked around at all the cultivators from the various sects. After awhile, she said, “There are so many cultivators here, not only because everyone wants to know what exactly happened on that Dark Night, but more because everyone wants to find opportunities.”

So that was what happened. Lonemoon had initially thought that the people from this little realm were filled with a sense of righteousness. Little did he know that everyone was here to pick up what had been left behind. This strange situation aside – the fact that there were so many sects interested in this valley meant that this was a mystic realm filled with good loot.

“Although many years have passed and this place might not look the same as it did before, having a map is still better than not having one.” Lu Lin continued seriously, “So, Fellow Daoist Lonemoon, why don’t you join us?”

Lonemoon lowered his gaze and changed his mind immediately. They were not in their own plane. They were managers, but their powers were limited. As opposed to activating their divine perceptions to try to make out what this place looked like, it was far better that they followed the lead of others. It just did not make any sense to turn her down.

Thus, he took on a far better attitude toward Lu Lin. Out of habit, he put on his business-like smile and warmly said, “I shall thank Fellow Daoist Lu in advance then.”

He cupped his fists respectfully, but realized that Lu Lin was no longer responding. She stood rooted to the ground, staring at him glassy-eyed. “Eh? Fellow Daoist Lu? Fellow Dao-”

Wait...

Holy shit! Why is your nose bleeding?!

“Eh~” Yi Qing and Shen Ying both cooed at the same time.

They narrowed their eyes and turned to face Lonemoon.

“Eh your ass!” It was obvious that he had not done anything. All he did was smile at her. “Get your lovey-dovey grins out of my face!”

“Senior Sister Lu, are you ready?” More than ten disciples of Dawning Pill Sect realized that Lu Lin had not returned for a long time. They could not help but call out to chase her. Yet, their gazes wandered to Lonemoon and Yi Qing.

It was then that the dazed Lu Lin finally responded. Her face flushed a deep red as she quickly applied pressure to her nose. She turned around and said, “Coming!” With a silly grin, she led the three of them to the group of cultivators from Dawning Pill Sect.

She brought them to meet her senior uncle from the team first, introducing them briefly to him.

Lonemoon took a close look at the group. There was one female cultivators in the late stages of Nascent Soul. The others were mostly Golden Core cultivators. Maybe because Lu Lin had already greeted them in advance, the Nascent Soul cultivator did not seem intimidated by the three of them. Instead, she nodded to them in a warm manner.

The other disciples, however, turned to look at them curiously. Their gazes naturally fell on Lonemoon and Yi Qing. Passion and heat emanated from them, much like from Lu Lin earlier. Lonemoon stiffened as the hairs on his body stood up. Suddenly, he regretted agreeing to join them.

Yi Qing’s expression hardened. He bowed, then put his arm around Shen Ying, who had been chewing on a fruit. He lowered himself and called out, “Master.”

Shen Ying paused, then immediately understood what he was trying to do. She played along and turned to plant a kiss on his cheek. She was putting a stamp of ownership on him!

Immediately, all the female cultivators’ expressions darkened. Then... they all turned to stare at Lonemoon instead.

Lonemoon: “...” Motherf*cker!

There were no human rights for single dogs! It’s only right that I act as your shield, right!

“Since everyone is here, let’s set off!” The Nascent Soul female cultivator finally spoke up. Finally, the other cultivators looked away from Lonemoon, and no longer seemed as hungry and thirsty as they did just a moment ago.

Along the way, however, Lonemoon continued to get many stares. Some of the disciples even flew slowly on purpose just to utter one or two sentences to Lonemoon.

“So your name is Lonemoon, Fellow Daoist? I can immediately tell that you come from a good family! I’m called...” and so on.

Fellow Daoist, you look like the friend of the neighboring sect’s senior uncle’s niece...”

“Fellow Daoist, are you interested in joining our Dawning Pill Sect? I feel like you’re suited to become my junior brother – the cutest one.”

“Fellow Daoist, how old are you? Where do you live? What’s your family like? Are you betrothed?”

“Fellow Daoist...”

Lonemoon’s lips remained pursed the entire way. He had to recite the Tranquility Chant the entire time in order to keep his cool and not blow up at them. Actually, he had been very popular ever since he was a child. He received between 50 to 100 love letters throughout his lifetime. Plenty of girls had confessed their feelings to him before. He was supposed to be used to it by now.

But those were all beautiful, gentle and nice-smelling girls. They did not look like these female cultivators, who were almost as tall as him, had muscles all over their bodies, and drooled at the sight of him. Apart from the lumps on their chests, they looked more like men than they did women. Suddenly, Lonemoon missed the sight of the golden barbies back in the Invincible Sect. At least they looked normal most of the time. These girls gave him the feeling like he was being raped – and he was the one being pinned down!

“Father Niu, stay calm!” Seeing that he was about to lose control, Shen Ying could not resist giving him a pat on the shoulder.

“Father Niu, you will be alright once you get used to it,” Chef added.

He glared at the both of them. Can I ever get used to this! If you think it’s so easy, why don’t the both of you keep your arms off each other?

(╯°Д°)╯(┻━┻

“Fellow Daoist Lonemoon, do you want some water to drink? Or do you want fruits? How about pastries?” Lu Lin, who stayed by Lonemoon’s side the entire time, could not stop offering him gifts. She kept taking things out of her own storage bag as she looked at Lonemoon seductively. She was absolutely smitten.

Lonemoon pursed his lips once again and glanced at the master and disciple, who were eating fruits beside him and watching the show. Something in his brain snapped. He sucked in a deep breath and put on a bright smile.

“Shen Ying, I’ve decided. I don’t mind being your second husband.”

Shit, I refuse to go down alone!

Shen Ying: “...”

Lu Lin: “...”

Swop!

A certain someone whipped out his sword...
