Brocade Palace.

Lu Chengfeng lay on the bed, while Du Mengyan sat at a table far away from him, with a hint of disdain.

"Didn't you say Yi Mingshu was going to test you? How come you're just lying here sleeping every day, neither practicing martial arts nor reading the Taoist Scripture, nor visiting renowned teachers."

"What exactly are you thinking?"

Du Mengyan said with a slightly anxious tone, "Two months is already a very short time, and the most crucial part is to start cultivating a martial art from scratch and compete with the True Disciples of the Tao Vein. Are you foolish?"

"Yi Mingshu is obviously messing with you, how could you agree to such conditions? Or do you really overestimate yourself, thinking you can surpass others' decades of hard work in just two months with your talent."

Lu Chengfeng's entire demeanor was quite peculiar; although he appeared extremely lazy, there was an inexplicable charm about him. He chuckled and said, "Of course, I understand the old man's intention. He never intended to help rescue the people on Jade Dragon Mountain."

Du Mengyan stood up angrily before he could finish, "So you're giving up already? If you're like this..." She slightly bit her lip, "Then, you can forget ever obtaining me."

"Hahahahaha!" Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but burst into loud laughter, tears almost flowing from his eyes from laughing so hard.

Du Mengyan said with some embarrassment, "What's so funny? If you don't want to help rescue people, then let me go. I will never stay here living ignobly."

Lu Chengfeng propped his head with a hand, turning over on the bed, and slowly looked at Du Mengyan. This woman was unlike any other he had met before; she had a very pure aura, especially her delicate face, which was pure with a hint of allure.

This kind of woman is undoubtedly very charming, with just her looks, figure, and aura, she has become the fairy adored by everyone in the Martial World.

"Mengyan, you are indeed beautiful and quite captivating, but do you think just your body is worth such a great price?"

Lu Chengfeng still bore a smile, but his words were cold.

Du Mengyan's face turned slightly pale, "What do you mean by that?"

"You can't save others; you can't even save yourself," Lu Chengfeng said indifferently. "If I were you, I'd first recognize my own situation and not make pointless struggles and sacrifices."

"As long as you have enough power yourself, why trade your body? Why rely on or plead with others?"

"The waters of the Martial World are deep, and dangerous waves can cost lives at any time. Yesterday's glory and wealth, today's downfall to the streets, are just common occurrences."

"You've been extraordinarily gifted since childhood; your cultivation journey was smooth like riding the Cyan Cloud, and your fairy reputation spread even before you descended the mountain."

"But I must say, your understanding of this world is not even as good as my playboy self..."

He glanced at the woman who was biting her lip, seemingly amused, "Even the noblest fairy, once she sells herself, is worthless."

"A fairy is called so because she is high above."

"Once fallen to the mundane world, she becomes a transaction, losing all appeal."

These words were like a knife stabbing harshly into Du Mengyan's heart; even knowing the man spoke this way to persuade her, the words still left her feeling ripped apart, bloodied, almost bringing her to tears.

"I never intended to sell myself!"

"Never have."

Du Mengyan spoke word by word, her eyes shimmering, yet she forcibly held back the tears from falling.

"If, if not for you, I wouldn't have degraded myself to such an extent."

"Even if falling into scoundrels' hands, powerless, it would just mean death. I, Du Mengyan, with a pure body, would never let anyone defile it, nor would I degrade myself."

"From today on, I will never plead a single word to you again."

She was clearly heartbroken to the extreme, speaking without any concealment, not caring if anyone would overhear.

Lu Chengfeng had heard all her words, and though he felt a slight tremor in his heart, he was unwilling to speak.

Currently, they were in an enemy stronghold, and any romantic entanglements were merely burdens and vulnerabilities. Only by being more clear-headed and ruthless could they better survive in such an environment.

Du Mengyan's recent behavior was too naive and simple-minded, easily giving away clues, so Lu Chengfeng had been harsh, wanting her to focus entirely on her cultivation.

"If I'm not mistaken, she should have already comprehended some extremely profound Heaven and Earth Law, and is only a half-step away from breaking through to Celestial Human."

"Rather than getting lost in romantic entanglements, it's better to diligently cultivate and advance your own cultivation."

However, he couldn't openly tell Du Mengyan this, because he was the frivolous 'Yi Wushuang', merely a Young Master Wushuang infatuated with her beauty.

In fact, today he had already overstepped some boundaries with what he said.

Lu Chengfeng sighed lightly, watching as Du Mengyan turned and sat cross-legged on the cushion by the table. Even with her eyes closed, her chest rose and fell continuously, clearly unable to calm her mind.

He shook his head, turned around, and no longer looked at her, instead focusing his thoughts on the Bright Moon Temple Dharma Method in his mind.

Three days ago, Yi Mingshu personally arranged for him to enter the Tao Vein, bestowing upon him one hundred and eight volumes of Tao Scripture and the Bright Moon Temple Taoist Skill.
