Chapter 1019: Mysterious Sound Enchantress

"Any problems?" Mu Xuanyin slightly frowned at Mu Huanzhi's reaction.

Mu Huanzhi hastily replied, "Huanzhi has noted everything and will start working on it immediately. It's just... the Wood Spirits have mostly remained hidden in less threatening lower star realms over the years, and both Wood Spirits and Wood Spirit Orbs are typically traded privately. We can only send people to secretly search in some of these lower star realms, but finding ones with over seventy percent spiritual energy will depend on luck."

"As for the Nine Star Buddha God Jade and Royal Immortal Grass," Mu Huanzhi exhaled slightly, "Huanzhi can only do his best."

He didn't dare ask Mu Xuanyin why she was suddenly looking for these items.

"The sooner, the better," Mu Xuanyin said. "If there's any news that you can't handle yourself, inform this King immediately."

"Yes," Mu Huanzhi's heart sank. Her words clearly indicated that she needed these items quite urgently, but all four were extraordinary, making it exceptionally difficult to acquire even one in a short time, let alone all four.

"Sect Master, regarding the Qilin horn, Huanzhi does have some leads."

"Oh?" Mu Xuanyin's gaze shifted. "Speak!"

"Yes," Mu Huanzhi recalled briefly, then respectfully stated, "About two years ago, Huanzhi happened to hear from Yunzhi that the Ice Wind Imperial Family, from which Mu Hanyi originates, possesses a royal sacred object. It has existed since the founding of the Ice Wind Empire, purportedly unearthed by chance from under ten thousand feet of ice, and is very likely a complete Ice Qilin horn. It has thus been revered as a national treasure and passed down within the Ice Wind Imperial Family for seventy to eighty thousand years."

"...Since it's a national treasure and has been secretly held for so long, why would Mu Hanyi proactively reveal this to Mu Yunzhi?" Mu Xuanyin said coldly. There was no doubt that Mu Hanyi had informed Mu Yunzhi of this matter.

"This..." A hint of awkwardness appeared on Mu Huanzhi's face. "According to Yunzhi, the reason Mu Hanyi spoke to her about the Ice Qilin horn is that the Ice Wind King had decided several years ago that if Mu Hanyi could become the Sect Master's personal disciple, the Ice Wind King would offer this national treasure, secretly kept for tens of thousands of years, to the Sect Master in gratitude for her grace."

"Hmph, he certainly has a motive!" Mu Xuanyin said coldly.

Mu Huanzhi continued, "Qilins in the Eastern Divine Region have been extinct for hundreds of thousands of years, so finding a Qilin horn means going to the Western Divine Region, which is extremely difficult. If the Ice Wind Empire truly possesses a Qilin horn, that would be ideal. In half a month, Mu Hanyi will return to the Ice Wind Empire for his father's millennium birthday. We could have him bring it back, or... should Huanzhi go personally to retrieve it now?"

If Mu Xuanyin were to speak, the Ice Wind Empire, even with ten thousand times its courage, would have no choice but to dutifully present it.

"No need," Mu Xuanyin denied. "Do not tell anyone what this King has discussed with you today."

"When searching for Wood Spirit Orbs in the lower star realms, and secretly seeking information on the Nine Star Buddha God Jade and Royal Immortal Grass in the upper star realms, remember to assign sufficiently reliable people. As for the Qilin horn, you don't need to worry about it, and especially do not reveal anything to Yunzhi or Mu Hanyi. You may go."

"Yes," Mu Huanzhi was filled with countless doubts, but he hastily withdrew.

Amidst the wind and snow, Mu Xuanyin slowly turned, her cold, star-like eyes gazing towards the distant north, a soft murmur escaping her lips: "Ice Wind Empire..."

Unsure how long he had been unconscious, Yun Che awoke. As his consciousness revived, he felt countless streams of utterly chilling energy flowing into his body, instantly clearing his mind.

Opening his eyes, he saw a pool of still water. Further away, strange flowers and exotic plants shimmered with glazed brilliance. The scent reaching his nostrils carried an extreme coldness and an ultimate purity.

This was... the Peerless Frozen Soul Lake!

His entire body was immersed in the Peerless Frozen Soul Lake. All his injuries had vanished, and his mind was exceptionally clear.

Memories from before he lost consciousness quickly surfaced: he had unleashed his Dragon Soul, and after a moment of clarity, had used all his strength to strike his own head, and then...

"Oh? You woke up so quickly."

A soft, gentle voice instantly made Yun Che's body tingle and his bones slightly numb. Subconsciously, he turned his head. On the poolside not far from him, Mu Xuanyin was leisurely reclining, a faint, almost imperceptible smile gracing her captivatingly beautiful face.

As Yun Che awoke, she slowly sat up sideways. Beneath her snow-white robes, her legs, slightly more slender than Mu Feixue's, were naturally crossed. As they shifted, a faint orchid fragrance seemed to waft over, intoxicating Yun Che and leaving him completely stunned.

"Che'er, your body seems to be absorbing the cold energy from the celestial pool. Is this also due to the power of the Heretic God?"

Mu Xuanyin's majestic and unforgiving nature was known to all in the Snow Song Realm; no one dared provoke her. Even the proud Yun Che would never dare to be disrespectful in her presence. But at this moment, the Mu Xuanyin before him had eyes that were deep and earnest, a face overflowing with enchanting beauty, and lips like budding flowers, every word a soft, gentle whisper.

Just like the enchantress he had first met, whom he had blurted out calling "big-chested Senior Sister"...

Yun Che didn't know how long he had been stunned before suddenly snapping awake. He hurriedly rose from the celestial pool: "Ma..."

The moment the word left his mouth, he suddenly felt a strange coolness on his body. Subconsciously, he looked down and was startled to see himself completely naked. In shock, he instantly recoiled back into the celestial pool as if electrocuted. His mind in chaos, he even forgot to immediately grab clothes from the Sky Poison Pearl and put them on.

Yun Che's embarrassment elicited a series of delicate giggles from Mu Xuanyin. She laughed so hard her body shook, and her full, soft breasts beneath her snow-white robes bounced incessantly, glimpses of dazzling white nearly spilling from her neckline with each tremor.

Today, Mu Xuanyin had changed into a rather loose snow-white robe, still embroidered with the Ice Phoenix emblem. The emblem appeared to be woven from an exceptionally special ice silk, radiating a striking cold light. Her jade-like, ice-blue long hair still cascaded naturally and luxuriantly over her fragrant shoulders and graceful back, faintly misted, as if she had just bathed. Her arms, however, were covered only by a thin, cicada-wing-like veil, revealing her plump, lotus-root-like jade arms indistinctly.

"Little rascal, you were afflicted by the Evil Dragon's blood energy, yet you didn't even want to touch a beauty like Feixue. It made your Master worried whether your body was unwell, so I meticulously examined you. But it seems there isn't any major problem, is there?"

Examined... his body...

"！#￥..." Yun Che's barely recovered mind reeled again. A torrent of inappropriate images flooded his thoughts, completely beyond his control. He fumbled to grab some clothes and put them on, then cautiously floated up from the pool this time: "Disciple... thanks Master... for your concern... and, about Feixue, she..."

His memories after knocking himself out were hazy; he had no idea if he had ultimately done anything to Mu Feixue...

Even if he could remember, he was entirely unable to think about it now, because his mind was in utter chaos. A wicked fire was raging through his entire body, impossible to suppress, and only growing more intense... it was as if he had been afflicted by the Evil Dragon's blood again.

Mu Xuanyin's beauty was unparalleled, yet her supreme cold majesty was equally capable of making the entire realm tremble. In the Snow Song Realm, no one dared let their gaze linger on her for more than a breath, not even the three arriving Flame God Sect Masters had dared to meet her cold eyes.

However, the Mu Xuanyin before Yun Che now held not even a trace of her usual majesty. Her delicate brows were like mist, her beautiful eyes glinted, the extreme coldness in them completely transformed into extreme, soul-captivating allure. Even in her sitting posture, she still outlined a tantalizing, undulating curve that made one's blood surge. Every part of her body, every inch of her skin, exuded a demonic, bewitching temptation.

Yun Che's eyes were fixed directly on her seductive and enchanting body, unable to look away. The wicked fire rapidly spread from his lower abdomen throughout his entire body.

"Oh? So you still care about Feixue, do you?" Mu Xuanyin said softly. "Don't worry, her primordial yin is still intact. It's just that, well, you've seen her and touched her, so she can no longer be considered flawless. Shouldn't you at least give her some explanation?"

"..." The soft, seductive voice by his ear stirred his soul, but Yun Che barely registered what she was saying. His eyes were fixed directly on Mu Xuanyin's... chest. As she leaned slightly forward in her seated position, her snow-white robes slipped down a little, and two overly full, soft mounds of jade-like flesh swelled forth, creating a deep, glistening cleavage that was bone-etching to behold, fully capturing Yun Che's gaze.

"Gulp!"

A heavy gulping sound came from Yun Che's throat.

It was so loud it could probably be heard dozens of miles away.

Yun Che's entire body stiffened instantly, and a significant portion of the wicked fire was scared away. This wasn't the first time he had swallowed hard in front of Mu Xuanyin. The first time, in the Ice Phoenix Palace, he hadn't known she was Mu Xuanyin, thinking her merely a senior sister from a divine hall... But now, before him was the Snow Song Realm King, the Ice Phoenix Sect Master, his Master!

As Yun Che's mind was in disarray, a snowy figure suddenly flickered before him. A fragrant breeze enveloped him, and Mu Xuanyin's snow-white face was now incredibly close, her beautiful eyes misty. A jade-like hand gently pinched his collar.

"..." Yun Che's mouth was wide open, unable to utter a single word.

"Earlier in the Ice Phoenix Palace, you didn't know I was your Master, so your frivolous words could be excused," Mu Xuanyin's voice was low and melodic, soft yet cloying. "But now, as my disciple, you actually dare to harbor improper thoughts about your Master. You truly are audacious."

"..." Mu Xuanyin's face moved a little closer, her delicate, flower-like lips almost touching Yun Che's cheek. As they parted slightly, an intoxicating floral scent wafted forth: "You wouldn't take Feixue, so... do you perhaps want your Master to cultivate with you?"

Her alluring whisper, as if from a dream, instantly left Yun Che parched, and the wicked fire within him raged, causing his blood vessels to surge almost to the point of bursting.

Mu Xuanyin was so close that Yun Che's gaze, shifting slightly downwards, effortlessly penetrated her loose snow-white robes. A soft, moonbeam-like glow shimmered on her fragrant shoulders, outlining the smooth half-arcs of her collarbones. Further down, two highly prominent, dazzlingly white mounds of soft flesh, so full and supple, quivered with her slightest movement.

"That's true," Mu Xuanyin said, as if completely unaware of Yun Che's gaze. Her jade finger, resting on his collar, hooked lightly, full of enchanting grace, her voice soft as a dream: "If your Master were to do it, it wouldn't take two years... just one night would be enough to let you directly enter the Divine Soul realm."

To directly enter the Divine Soul realm in one night—if Mu Xuanyin had said this in her "normal" state, Yun Che would surely have jumped up in excitement and shock. But at this moment, Yun Che's mind and body were both aflame with wicked desires. As he listened to her words, his thoughts were not of breaking through to the Divine Soul realm overnight, but entirely of Mu Xuanyin coiling her waist around him, swaying her body... or her jade-like body arching beneath him, softly moaning...

Every muscle, every feature, exquisitely beautiful; every frown, every smile, brimming with charm... This was a true temptress, alluring to an almost terrifying degree.
