Meeting these three women so soon after arriving in Thousand Autumns City must mean they share a deep karmic connection.
He always had a knack for attracting beautiful women.
Xu Sanyan scanned the trio with his Qi Observation Technique. Though they employed Breath Concealment Techniques, the vast difference in their cultivation realms allowed him to see through their disguises instantly.
Two were at the Initial Stage of the Dao Seeking Realm, while the third had reached Foundation Establishment Perfection.
Considering their young age, their cultivation levels were already remarkable, comparable to the Huai Lake Seven Heroes.
Xu Sanyan wasn't in a hurry to enter the city. He was curious about where these three women were headed so early in the morning.
Didn't they know how dangerous it was outside the city? And running around like that, looking so beautiful, wasn't that just inviting trouble?
Driven by a sense of altruism, Xu Sanyan quietly followed behind, acting as their silent guardian.
The three women walked ahead with lively enthusiasm, their laughter occasionally drifting back. The most talkative of the group was the adorable girl, who dominated the conversation while the other two chimed in with agreement.
Xu Sanyan lurked in the shadows behind a tree, his head tilted, only his eyes visible as he silently observed them—like a wild beast lying in wait.
The vast difference in cultivation levels between Xu Sanyan and the three women made it impossible for them to detect his presence. Moreover, they would never have imagined that someone would dare to follow them near Thousand Autumns City.
Xu Sanyan listened intently to their conversation. The cute, youthful girl's voice rang out crisply, "Xuan'er-jie, I heard the Feng Clan was wiped out. Is that true?"
The serene-faced girl beside her replied softly, "It's true. The Qian Kingdom sent people to do it."
The cold-faced girl hesitated, "Could it be... because of that incident?"
"Yes and no," Xuan'er explained. "Kidnapping a few mortals wouldn't warrant such a massive response from the Qian Kingdom. They probably just took care of the Feng Clan along the way."
"Along the way?"
"Mm-hmm. The Hundred Saints Secret Realm opened recently, and rumors say someone obtained a supreme treasure inside and fled into the Chaotic Cloud Mountains. The Qian Kingdom likely came for that, and the Feng Clan was just collateral damage."
The cold-faced girl nodded slowly. "No wonder there have been so many new faces in the city lately. They must all be here for the treasure."
The cute girl's voice grew wistful. "A supreme treasure... I wonder what kind of treasure it is. If we sisters could encounter that person, we could join forces and snatch the treasure!"
The girl chuckled softly at the thought, "Hehehe..."
Xuan'er shook her head with a smile, her self-awareness clear. "If we ever encounter him, we'd be lucky just to escape with our lives, let alone steal his treasure."
The young girl knew this was true, but she enjoyed the thrill of the banter.
Anyone who could carve a path through the Mist Sea must possess extraordinary strength. Though the three sisters were talented, they were still young. Their cultivation level was decent for their age group, but that was only within the younger generation.
Little did the three women know, the man they were discussing was right behind them.
Xu Sanyan's eyes narrowed slightly. He hadn't expected news to spread so quickly. The secret realm had closed less than a month ago, yet the rumors had already reached the Chaotic Cloud Mountains.
He would need to be even more cautious in the days ahead.
As they talked, the sisters arrived at a natural hot spring nestled in a mountain hollow. After scanning their surroundings, they began to undress.
Xu Sanyan blinked, staring intently at the trio. Out for a bath so early in the morning? How fastidious!
As their long robes slipped off, snow-white skin was exposed to the air. They removed their short boots, and delicate jade feet tentatively dipped into the water before they fully submerged themselves.
"Ah, this feels so good! Come join us, Elder Sister!" The young girl splashed playfully, giggling.
Xuan'er scolded gently, "Little sister~ Be careful not to get your clothes wet."
"Hehe~"
Xu Sanyan smacked his lips. Cleanliness is a virtue, he thought. I've always preferred clean girls.
Gazing at the three girls' delicate bodies, he felt a primal instinct stirring within him.
He looked up at the sky, silently thanking the heavens for this unexpected gift.
With a sudden thought, his spiritual power surged. He rapidly conjured a complex rune in the void and sent it hurtling toward the girls in the pool.
The two Dao Seeking Realm cultivators sensed the danger. Their eyes sharpened as they whirled around to look skyward.
"Someone's there!" Xuan'er hissed.
Before the others could react, the Demonic Seed had already imprinted itself on their foreheads.
Xuan'er couldn't evade it either. All three girls were struck simultaneously. Their minds went blank, their eyes rolled upward, and their limbs twitched uncontrollably as they sank toward the bottom of the pool.
Xu Sanyan emerged from the forest, his gaze lingering on the neatly folded clothes by the shore. A smile played on his lips as he picked up a garment and sniffed it. The scent was remarkably similar to the undergarment he'd smelled days earlier.
"Ah~ this damned maidenly fragrance... utterly intoxicating..."
He savored the scent.
He stripped off his robe and submerged himself in the water. Seeing the three unconscious, naked girls lying on the pool floor, his benevolent nature compelled him to rescue them.
See? he thought. It's a good thing I followed them. Otherwise, they would have drowned.
Do a good deed every day, and blessings will naturally follow.
Xu Sanyan mentally gave himself a pat on the back.
Splash!
The water's surface broke as he hauled two women ashore with one hand, while the girl named Xuan'er remained clamped between his legs.
The three women lay flat on the blue flagstones, drenched and still unconscious, likely from choking on water.
The Demonic Seed's sudden intrusion had knocked them out, and being submerged, they inevitably inhaled water.
"Sigh..."
Xu Sanyan sighed. He couldn't just leave them unconscious in this desolate wilderness—it was too dangerous. What if they encountered ill-intentioned people?
He lowered his head and began performing CPR.
He wasn't sure if proper CPR required tongue contact, but he extended his anyway.
Simultaneously, he pressed his other hand against their chests, performing chest compressions.
"Heave-ho!"
Xu Sanyan's large hands gently massaged... squeezed.
Before long, the young woman stirred awake. She stared in shock at the unfamiliar man beneath her, momentarily convinced she was dreaming.
She remembered coming to the hot springs with her sisters, then suddenly losing consciousness. When she awoke, she found herself being...
"Mmm~"
The girl clamped a hand over her mouth, tilting her head slightly to gaze at the man beneath her. Her mind was a blur.
She felt like she knew him, yet couldn't recall his name...
Still, the man seemed incredibly familiar. His kind smile and handsome face made him look anything but a villain...
Seeing she was awake, Xu Sanyan smiled. "You're awake? Lie back and rest. I'll go rescue your sisters."
"Mmm..."
The girl didn't know why she obeyed him, but it felt right to follow his instructions.
With that, Xu Sanyan rose and moved on to his next target.
Two hours later, the three girls, fully dressed, stood obediently in a row before Xu Sanyan.
"My name is Lin Fan. What are yours?"
The serene-faced girl spoke first, "Wang Zixuan."
Xu Sanyan raised an eyebrow. Is this kind of name popular in this world too?
The aloof girl, still seemingly recovering from their recent "intense battle," her cheeks flushed with lingering heat, lowered her gaze slightly and said, "I'm Wang Qingyu."
Finally, the adorable girl spoke up, "Wang Ruixin."
