Top Soldier Pursued by a Beauty

Underwater, Zhao Dong's hands were tightly gripping her proud, charming peaks.

As the heat burned within him, Zhao Dong could no longer restrain the impulse in his heart. He leaped out of the water, ready to take the next step! But after breathing in the fresh air, he suddenly froze.

What am I doing?

He looked down. His sharp sword pointed directly at Qing Yu's face!

Her pretty face blushed as she looked at the weapon against her face, a mixture of fear and shame in her eyes.

Is this what a man's... weapon is like? How... how can it be so powerful?

Frightened, Qing Yu quickly turned her head away. Only then did Zhao Dong realize what he was doing. He hurriedly jumped out of the bathtub, changed his clothes, and said guiltily, "I-I'm sorry, I... I just lost control for a moment..."

"It's... it's okay... I didn't feel anything..." Qing Yu muttered, too embarrassed to look up.

Zhao Dong understood this was just Qing Yu's attempt to diffuse the awkwardness. After a while, once they had both straightened their clothes, the atmosphere finally eased a bit. Men have thick skins, after all. As long as the girl didn't overreact, a man could adapt quickly to such situations.

Seeing that Qing Yu wasn't dwelling on what had just happened, Zhao Dong awkwardly asked, "Who was that person who just came by?"

"That was Senior Sister Dai," Qing Yu replied, equally awkward. "Like me, she is also a disciple of the Third Elder. She joined the sect a few years before I did and is now a ninth-level Great Grandmaster."

"She's just your senior sister, isn't she? Why do you seem so afraid of her?" Zhao Dong wondered.

Qing Yu gave a wry smile. "Senior Sister Dai despises men. And... and she also likes... women..."

"What the—! Does she like you?" Zhao Dong was stunned.

Qing Yu's face turned crimson. "I... I don't like women... Senior, please don't misunderstand..."

"Pfft, of course I know you don't like women. If you did, you wouldn't have gotten so..." Zhao Dong cut himself off, swallowing the word "wet" before it could escape.

Being inexperienced, Qing Yu didn't catch what Zhao Dong was about to say and her expression remained normal.

"Ahem... So, you were afraid that if your Senior Sister saw me, she'd get jealous and we'd end up fighting?"

"Yes... If she saw you here, she would definitely fight you..." Qing Yu said, the fear still lingering.

Zhao Dong felt a similar lingering fear. If Qing Yu hadn't decisively offered herself up, he couldn't imagine how much more terrifying the consequences would have been. It wasn't that he was afraid to fight a ninth-level Great Grandmaster, but he had been in the bathtub! He couldn't possibly fight Senior Sister Dai naked, could he? That would be utterly humiliating.

But in the end... no one could have expected that it would be Zhao Dong and Qing Yu who ended up baring it all to each other. The two fell into silence again, their faces flushing. Zhao Dong couldn't help but admire Qing Yu's graceful figure and her incredible sensitivity, which gushed forth at a mere touch. A girl like her was truly top-tier. Qing Yu, in turn, was awed and frightened by Zhao Dong's magnificent size. Just thinking about it made her feel a little moist...

After a long time, Qing Yu glanced out the window, then slapped her forehead. "Oh no! I forgot Master was looking for me!"

"Senior, I can't keep you company any longer. I have to go find Master right away!" she said, her face fraught with anxiety.

Zhao Dong stood up. "Go on, then. I can stroll around by myself."

After Qing Yu left, Zhao Dong straightened the Disciple robes he had changed into, cleaned the wooden tub, and finally left the small cabin. He himself didn't know why he felt reluctant to leave. In any case, the memory of that scene still left him with a certain itch...

「...」

Leaving the cave dwelling, Zhao Dong followed the route he remembered toward Elder Ouyang's peak. His sole purpose for coming to the Blood Sect was to rescue Xu Yafei.

However, Zhao Dong was in no particular hurry. He strolled along leisurely. Dressed in the robes of an outer sect Disciple and deliberately avoiding everyone he saw, he encountered no trouble. Along the road, various strange and unusual spiritual creatures appeared before him, causing him to exclaim in surprise.

"HOLY SHIT!"

Zhao Dong ran toward a fence inside which were more than a dozen large roosters. They were pure white, except for a tuft of red feathers on their rears.

"Are these Spirit-tailed Chickens? They're spiritual beasts! Even the lowest-grade spiritual beast provides spiritual meat, which is incredibly nourishing when eaten!"

Tempted, Zhao Dong wanted to steal a couple. But these Spirit-tailed Chickens possessed a degree of spiritual intelligence. Upon seeing him, they immediately shot him wary glances, looking as if they were about to crow at the top of their lungs.

Seeing this, Zhao Dong shook his head helplessly and regretfully walked away. He couldn't knock all the chickens out at once. If even one of them squawked, it would attract people, and the consequences would be unimaginable. He could only commit the location to memory and continue on his way.

Spirit-tailed Chickens? Just you wait. You'll all be mine!

This, however, was just the beginning.

"HOLY HELL! Are those Eight Treasures Chickens? They're even more impressive than Spirit-tailed Chickens!"

"HOLY HELL! Is that a Black Velvet Pig?"

"Wait! HOLY... Is that a Red Blood Bell Deer?"

"My god! This Blood Sect is filthy rich!"

Zhao Dong had practically sworn his way through half the journey. These creatures were just too tempting! He was filled with frustration. Why do all these damn things have to have mouths?

He mentally cataloged every location, already considering the creatures his own property. Even so, the constant temptation along the way left him with an itch he couldn't scratch.

Just then, a medicinal field of about three acres appeared before his eyes.

"HOLY SHIT!"

Zhao Dong immediately rushed to the edge of the field. "This... Deer Antler Grass, Snow Bell Flowers, Orchid Bell Grass..." he muttered excitedly. "A field of Spiritual Medicine! This is an entire field of Spiritual Medicine!"

His mouth was practically watering. With so many spiritual medicines, if he could take them all, he was confident he could break through two minor realms and charge directly to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment! And once he reached the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, what was a mere Great Grandmaster? He wouldn't even bat an eye at those above the Great Grandmaster realm!

The gap between a cultivator and a Cultivator is immense! The power gained from a single minor realm for a Cultivator is enough to instantly defeat another who is half a major realm more advanced!

After his initial excitement, Zhao Dong calmed down. As tempting as the field of Spiritual Medicine was, stealing from it would certainly expose him. This field was undoubtedly a critical asset for the Blood Sect. If a large quantity went missing, the sect would launch a strict investigation. It wouldn't take long for them to discover that Qing Yu had brought in an outsider. Following that trail, he would have no way to escape.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dong shook his head helplessly and prepared to leave. But just as he withdrew his gaze, his eyes suddenly snapped back to a strange, ethereal blue flower in the middle of the medicinal field.

Is this... could this be... the Other Shore Flower!?

Zhao Dong's eyes flew wide open.

No... this isn't the Other Shore Flower. This is... the Flower of Oblivion!

The fervent desire in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.
