Looking at the three women in front of him, Yang Ze didn't know what was going on. One moment, he was meditating inside his room in peace, trying to break through to the Vein Expansion realm, and the next moment, he was picked up like a doll before being carried outside, only to meet three pairs of eyes looking at him with varying degrees of emotions.

"UMMMMM... UMMMMMMM..." How could a man endure such shame and embarrassment? He swore in his heart that once his cultivation surpassed theirs, he was going to teach these three a lesson they were never going to forget. At that time, he would return this humiliation a hundredfold.

"Okay. I am gonna remove the cloth, but you have to promise to stay quiet." Cang Yue spoke with some annoyance. She was already angry after being tricked by these two women; the last thing she wanted to deal with was his annoying flirting.

"Mmmmm." Yang Ze immediately nodded in response. By now, his mouth was numb from tasting the damn fibre.

Without wasting any words, Cang Yue just took out her stocking from his mouth before freeing his hands.

"HUFF... HUFF..." The moment she took the cloth out of his mouth, Yang Ze greedily took a few mouthfuls of air, as if afraid of dying from suffocation.

After that, he looked at the three women who were still glaring at him before placing his hand behind his back, raising his chin a bit and speaking in a soft tone.

"Aaah! The flavour of youth... the flavour of a fairy... Even your stockings tasted so good."

"If you like it that much, how about I stuff a few more in your damn mouth?" Cang Yue was already beginning to regret her choice of freeing him.

"No thanks. I have had enough." Yang Ze immediately jumped in fright. What a joke. It might look good and perhaps a few people might even like it, but to him it was pure torture.

"So..." Changing the topic, he looked around with a bright smile on his face. "What are you guys doing?"

It was rare for the three women to stay together in one place, especially after what happened in the Duality Sect.

"We are going on missions." It was Lin Yue who answered him.

"A mission... good... good..." Even though Yang Ze had a serious expression, he was already gloating in his heart.

Once they leave, he would be free to explore the sect, and who knows, he might come across a few beauties. Maybe he could even see the famous bath scene...

Lin Yue looked at him in disgust as he wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth. She didn't know what he was thinking about, but it was definitely not something good.

She just let out an angry smile.

"No need... You are coming with us."

"Yes, yes... AH!?" Yang Ze was still nodding instinctively when he realised the meaning behind her words.

"Wait, what?" He looked at her with wide eyes, wondering if he was hearing things. What does their mission have to do with him? Or have they discovered his realm?

But even if they did discover his realm, what good was he going to do with his meagre Foundation Forging strength?

Cang Yue, on the other hand, could only rub her head in annoyance before explaining to Yang Ze about everything... From their oath, to the mission, to the danger to his life if he stayed in the sect.

And the more she spoke, the darker Yang Ze's expression got.

By the time she finished speaking, he almost fainted from anger.

Even though Cang Yue didn't mention the strength of the enemies they were going to face, it was anything but ordinary. Especially for the current him.

"Well, you can stay here if you want." Lin Yue just smirked at him as if taking pleasure in his misfortune. "As for how long you are going to stay alive.... well..."

She didn't complete her sentence, but Yang Ze could understand the meaning behind her words.

"Good... Good..." In the end, he could only say 'good' twice while nodding his head in anger.

Just as she said, they didn't have a second choice.

"We will leave tomorrow." Cang Yue just patted his back before walking out of the house, leaving behind the figure of those three.

Yang Ze just gave the two women a fawning smile before walking back to his room and checking on his panel.

[Name: Yang Ze]

[Age: 18]

[Realm: Peak Stage Foundation Forging]

[Physique: ????]

[Talen: Mighty Vigour(Blue), Affinity For Water(Blue), Escape Master(Blue), Enlightment(Purple), Persistence(Purple), Trembling Fingers(Purple), All Seeing Eyes(Gold), Inverted Wail(Gold)]

[Skills: Thousand Years Art, Mystic Nether Art, Black Tiger Technique(First Grade)]

[Evaluation: Still a weakling.]

"Eh!?" Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar panel, Yang Ze just let out a frown. He gazed deeply at the 'physique' and the dense question mark behind it. He had a feeling that he knew about it, but when he tried to recall, he once again felt a sense of dread.

"No worries. I will have plenty of time in the future." He didn't want to take any risk. He would have plenty of time in the future to unveil everything about his physique, but now there was something even more important than that.

"Escape master." If he wanted to escape from their grasp, this was the only talent that could help him out. It would let him teleport a radius of one hundred meters away from his initial position.

Perhaps in front of Core Condensation and higher realms, it was a complete waste skill, but against Vein Expansion and the lower realm, it was something divine.

He only needed to get into a dense forest or a place from which it would be safe to escape. After that... sky is the limit.

It took him almost an hour to come up with a perfect plan. He was going to stay with the three women till they reached a city or a place full of people. Once there, he would find an empty space or even a room before using his escape skill there. This way, he didn't have to worry about them trying to find him anytime soon. And by the time they would realise he was missing, he would have run across god knows where.

Thinking about how there was a bright future ahead of him, he couldn't help but let out an excited smile.

And just when he was lost in his fantasy, he suddenly noticed Cang Yue entering the room as she threw a small exquisite bracelet to him.

"What's this?" Just one look at the bracelet and Yang Ze was in love with it. The entirety of the bracelet was crafted from red metal with exquisite carvings, and at the centre was a small red ruby-like gem that was giving off a dim red glow.

Yang Ze immediately put it around his wrist with a smile before smiling at Cang Yue.

"Is this a gift from my wife to me?"

Looking at Yang Ze so eagerly putting on the bracelet and even trying to tease her, Cang Yue was stunned for a long time.

When she brought the bracelet, she was having a headache about how to put this thing around his wrist. But who would have thought that he would do it so willingly?

Yang Ze just looked at Cang Yue's face and wondered if she was shy. He was about to tease her a bit more, but before he could even open his mouth, he felt the bracelet around his wrist tightening as an intense pain struck him.

"WHAT THE?" It felt like a sting. He wanted to take it off and throw it away, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't take it off.

Yang Ze wanted to ask Cang Yue for help, but upon noticing her smiling face, he had a bad feeling.

"These bracelets are called Life Links." Speaking this sentence, Cang Yue took out another bracelet that was similar to the one on Yang Ze's hand and even more exquisite in shape and size before putting it on her wrist.

Seeing Yang Ze's confusion, she just explained slowly.

"How many times have you tried to escape from my grasp?"

"Did you really think I wouldn't take any precaution against it?"

She just shook her head with a smile.

"With these, I can sense your location within a thousand meters. And if you are more than fifty meters away from me, I will immediately know about it."

Yang Ze almost fainted in anger when he heard about it. His escape skill could only teleport him to a hundred meters away. With this damn bracelet, his escape plan was over before it even began.

"Take some rest." Ignoring his angry expression, Cang Yue pushed him away before sitting beside him on the bed with her eyes closed.

"We have a long journey ahead of us."

Yang Ze could only be disgruntled in anger before closing his eyes and lying on the bed.

He then looked at Cang Yue's back a few times before realising that he hadn't used his daily sign-in.

Without any hesitation, he took a glance at her panel.

Name: Cang Yue]

[Age: 27]

[Realm: 4th Vein Expansion]

[Physique: Nine Yin Demonic Physique]

[Talent: Sinful Yin Heart(Purple), Ethereal Shadow Step(Green), Calamity Gaze(Purple), Whispering Illusions(Blue)]

He thought for a moment before deciding to use his daily sign-in for the Whispering Illusions(Blue).

[Congratulations on getting Illusion Master(Purple)]

[Illusion Master(Purple): Could manifest illusions.]

It was a simple yet direct explanation.

Yang Ze thought for a moment before getting up from the bed and walking out of the room.

Cang Yue didn't pay any attention to him. Inside the Sword Sect, she wasn't worried about his safety and escape as long as she was here.

After walking out of his room, Yang Ze thought for a moment before deciding to take a walk around the Sword Sect. He was going to try his newly gained skill and hone the few other skills in case he needed them during those missions.

After roaming aimlessly for a while, he found himself standing near the cliff once again.

Looking at the distance sword peaks shrouded in fog, he just took a deep breath before raising his hand and using his newly gained skill.

In that instant, he felt a sense of coolness in his mind as well as a great sense of clarity.

It was as if he could construct anything just by thinking about it.

Without any hesitation, he immediately thought about a small cat and sure enough, the next instant, a fat orange car appeared beside his leg that looked no different than a real one.

"Holy Shit." Yang Ze almost jumped in surprise. He only thought that he might make it seem real, but to his surprise, it exceeded his expectations.

Bending down, he tried to touch the cat, but the moment his hand came in contact with it, it passed through it.

"Umm..." Yang Ze tried a few more times before shaking his head with a smile. No matter how real the illusion was, it couldn't be interacted with. It was only good for show.

"What else can I do?" Yang Ze thought for a moment before creating an illusion of himself wearing the mask.

Looking at the short man in his thirties, he nodded in response.

Even though the illusion was good, it seemed to have a few limitations.

The first one was obviously a lack of intelligence as well as a lack of control.

He could create an illusion and, while creating it, set its course of action, but after that, he can not do anything else.

The illusion will follow the set pattern until it is destroyed or its time runs out.

The other limitation was a lack of life.

No matter how realistic it might seem, just one glance and anyone could tell that something was wrong. It didn't have any spark of life in it. And every action it made seemed rather stiff and forceful, like a puppet.

But for the current Yang Ze, even with these limitations, it was something extraordinary.

With it, he could do a million things that he hadn't dared to dream about before.

"Should I test the limit?" The moment this thought came to his mind, Yang Ze couldn't control himself. He wanted to know just what else he could do and how far his illusion could span.

It wasn't until almost an hour had passed that he finally stopped and sat down to catch his breath.

This new talent of Illusion Master was as ridiculous as it sounded. He could freely conjure up to five illusions of anything. It could be a person, it could be an animal, it could even be a stone or a pond. To him, imagination was his limit.

Though it was heaven-defying, it had its own set of rules.

Disregarding the fact that the illusion felt lifeless and couldn't be interacted with, the biggest shortcoming was its size.

The size of his illusion depends on his Mental energy. If his mental energy was sufficient, he could even envelop the entire world in an illusion.

But even with his current Mental Energy, he could conjure things that were almost ten times his size.

After playing around for a good while, Yang Ze stretched his body before taking a yawn as he looked around in confusion.

"Where the hell is that damn Spiritwing?"

He remembered that he had a half-demonic pet, but it seemed to be missing.

"Tch! Useless thing." He didn't think too much about it. To the current him, it was of no help. It was better to let it go than to keep it with him.

After taking one last look at distant mountain peaks, Yang Ze simply turned around and headed back to his house.

Tomorrow was going to be a big day for him. He was finally going to explore the world and even participate in the missions.
