Chapter 609 - 607: Celestial Maiden Yuan's Intentions, News of the Tai'e Temple
Celestial Maiden Yuan was skillful in long-sleeve dancing, and her Luoshen Jinghong Dance was truly mesmerizing.
She even had hidden secrets that no one had seen.
"Curiosity killed the cat," Jun Xiaoyao said meaningfully.
"Lord Divine Son is not a cat, but rather a ferocious tiger that everyone fears," Celestial Maiden Yuan replied with a smile.
"Am I that fearsome?" Jun Xiaoyao's immortal radiance faded from his face, revealing a visage of divine beauty.
Even Celestial Maiden Yuan, with her exceptional beauty, was momentarily stunned.
To be honest, she had seen countless young masters from Ancient Desolate Families, Holy Land Saint Sons, and unparalleled geniuses.
In terms of appearance, no one could compare to the young man before her.
Even considering strength, few could match Jun Xiaoyao.
Then, for a rare moment, Celestial Maiden Yuan blushed.
"Let's go," Jun Xiaoyao said, carefree.
He wasn't truly interested in Celestial Maiden Yuan's benefits.
He just wanted to know what game Celestial Maiden Yuan was playing.
He understood that this courtesan from the Divine Maiden Workshop wasn't simple.
"Lord Divine Son, please follow me," Celestial Maiden Yuan said gently, prepared to lead Jun Xiaoyao to her private retreat.
Beside them, Lu Renjia had just stood up when a maid approached with a smile, saying, "Sorry, young master, the lady only accepts one guest."
"Damn!" Lu Renjia cursed under his breath.
"What about her?" Lu Renjia glanced at the Taiyin Jade Rabbit in Jun Xiaoyao's arms.
"That's a pet," the maid replied with a smile.
"Damn!" Lu Renjia continued to curse quietly.
Finally, with Lu Renjia and a group of celestial prides eyeing jealously, Jun Xiaoyao departed the hundred-story building, arriving at Celestial Maiden Yuan's private retreat.
He directly entered her fragrant boudoir.
Just upon entering, the smile at Jun Xiaoyao's lips vanished.
Replaced by a cold indifference.
The temperature in the room seemed to drop to the freezing point.
"Lord Divine Son?" Celestial Maiden Yuan's delicate brows furrowed slightly.
"I, the Divine Son, am quite displeased, what do you suggest?" Jun Xiaoyao teased.
"What do you mean, Lord Divine Son?" Celestial Maiden Yuan's voice was weak.
"I dislike being probed, and Qin Zimo and others will probably never know that the fairy they adore regards them as pawns in her scheme," Jun Xiaoyao smirked coldly.
Celestial Maiden Yuan remained calm, not overly flustered.
She performed a courtesy bow to Jun Xiaoyao and said, "Apologies, I was overly curious, just wanted to gauge the Divine Son's caliber."
"Do you understand now?" Jun Xiaoyao said blandly.
Celestial Maiden Yuan softly bit her lip and said gently, "Understood, Lord Divine Son is not only very long, but very strong, not everyone is qualified to test that..."
Jun Xiaoyao sat directly on a grandmaster's chair.
On Celestial Maiden Yuan's fairy-like, ethereal face was a radiant smile.
"In that case, I would like to make amends with a dance, seeking Lord Divine Son's forgiveness."
Saying this, Celestial Maiden Yuan gracefully extended her arms and began dancing like a fluttering butterfly.
Her dance was enchanting, and her waist was as supple as a snake, her movements countless.
The dance was exceedingly beautiful, pleasing to the eye.
Yet seemingly not much different from her previous performance.
But soon changes started.
For as she danced, more and more of Celestial Maiden Yuan's attire came off.
"Ah, so that's it," Jun Xiaoyao realized.
This was the so-called benefit?
He then reached out to cover the large eyes of the Taiyin Jade Rabbit.
"Young master, I want to watch too!" Taiyin Jade Rabbit pawed at Jun Xiaoyao's hand with its furry claws.
"Little rabbit, this is not for you," Jun Xiaoyao replied.
Celestial Maiden Yuan maintained her boundaries.
Only her intimate wear and white stockings of snow jade silkworm silk remained.
In her final dance, Celestial Maiden Yuan extended her beautifully defined leg, touching Jun Xiaoyao's chest.
Her feet, wrapped in stockings, seemed soft as if boneless, incredibly elegant.
Her eyes gleamed, and her red lips were gently bitten as she said, "Can Lord Divine Son help me remove it?"
Jun Xiaoyao rested his chin on his arm, saying flatly, "Don't you have your own hands?"
Hearing this, Celestial Maiden Yuan's eyes flashed with slight surprise.
Is he really that blunt?
Celestial Maiden Yuan pouted playfully and withdrew her leg.
And then it was over.
"That's it?" Jun Xiaoyao asked, feeling uninterested.
"What else?" Celestial Maiden Yuan responded.
"Speak your purpose; this party you held for the Divine Son was surely not just for me to enjoy a dance?"
Jun Xiaoyao's words made Celestial Maiden Yuan's eyes flicker with a hidden light.
It seemed Jun Xiaoyao already understood the true purpose of the party.
The invite was portrayed as extending to various celestial talents, but in reality, it was meant solely for Jun Xiaoyao.
From the beginning, Celestial Maiden Yuan's sole target was Jun Xiaoyao.
Qin Zimo and other celestial prides were merely filler.
If they were aware beneath the earth, what would they think?
"Then I shall speak frankly, has Lord Divine Son heard of Tai'e Temple?"
"What is that place?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"Located at the twenty-third checkpoint on the Ancient Road, on Celestial Nether Ancient Star."
"Celestial Nether Ancient Star is under the domain of the Snake-man Race, whose strongest member is a Saint Master known as Queen Medusa."
"Of course, that's not the most important part. The essential thing is that Tai'e Temple is rumored to open in the coming years."
Celestial Maiden Yuan's words made Jun Xiaoyao ponder.
With the intelligence network of Divine Maiden Workshop, it was conceivable to gather such information.
"What's inside Tai'e Temple?" Jun Xiaoyao inquired.
"Rumor has it that it's related to the Mythical Emperor, and possibly holds things concerning immortals," Celestial Maiden Yuan said.
Jun Xiaoyao contemplated deeply.
The so-called Mythical Emperors are ancient emperors almost mythic in existence.
Such as the One-Armed Nether King, Allah, Sea God, etc., revered as divine entities.
It's rumored these Mythical Emperors are just a step away from becoming true immortals.
But in the Near Ancient Times, these Mythical Emperors vanished from the world; no one knows if they still exist or where they went.
"Why choose me?" Jun Xiaoyao questioned.
"Because Lord Divine Son dares to defy the heavens, the most powerful taboo existence on the Ancient Road," Celestial Maiden Yuan giggled with admiration.
"Haha, a being cursed by heaven, unable to achieve the Dao, yet viewed so highly by the Divine Maiden Workshop's courtesan; it is somewhat flattering."
Jun Xiaoyao smirked.
"Lord Divine Son need not be humble," Celestial Maiden Yuan said.
"Speak truthfully," Jun Xiaoyao said coldly, not bothering to be courteous.
Celestial Maiden Yuan explained, "Honestly, Tai'e Temple is very eerie, filled with curses, not included in the Seven Great Wonders, yet not far off."
"Lord Divine Son has entered both the Bronze Immortal Hall and the nineteenth layer of Hell Star, emerging safely, such perilous places hardly threaten Lord Divine Son."
"Moreover, Lord Divine Son possesses the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, immune to various strange curses, making him very suited for challenging Tai'e Temple," Celestial Maiden Yuan reasoned.
"So..." Jun Xiaoyao looked at Celestial Maiden Yuan, "Have you made me into a tool then?"
