Chapter 87: Innocent Maiden

Over ten days later.

A disciple from the Five Poisons Sect arrived at the Shen Family.

It was unexpectedly a barefoot girl.

Tall and slender, adorned with exquisite silver headpieces and a silver collar on her neck, her features were simple and natural, with long legs and bare feet like white jade.

She smiled gently, dimples forming lightly on her cheeks, her face pure and radiant, like a newly bloomed white magnolia, possessing a unique, elegant beauty.

A hint of surprise flashed through Shen Xuan’s eyes.

Such a naturally beautiful and pure girl, coming alone.

And she’s a disciple of the Five Poisons Sect!

In the Insight Technique, there was not a trace of poisonous stench on her.

Instead, there was a faint, pleasant fragrance.

Fresh and natural.

"Talisman Master Shen, I am Zhu Yingying! My father Zhu Qingsheng asked me to give this to you!"

Having said this, Zhu Yingying bit her lip and handed over a Storage Pouch.

Her charming eyes curiously looked at Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan took the Storage Pouch, scanning it with his Divine Sense, confirming it was a pouch of Three-legged Demon Toad Essence Blood.

"Send my regards to your father."

"Aren’t you going to invite me in to sit for a while?"

Zhu Yingying’s charming eyes widened, full of disbelief.

"After such a long journey, you won’t even offer me a cup of Spirit Tea, or a meal?"

Shen Xuan looked at her speechlessly.

This girl seemed pure, but indeed carried some alluring aura.

Making one involuntarily feel a fondness for her.

Mentally invigorated.

Blood racing, heart pounding.

Involuntarily wanting to do something!

"My wife is a mortal, she probably can’t handle your innate Enchanting Body!"

Shen Xuan pointed out her special physique.

"Oh, how did you know!"

Zhu Yingying’s charming eyes repeatedly studied Shen Xuan.

"Father said, you’re over seventy!"

"Father also told me to stay away from you. Said you’re an old monster!"

Shen Xuan turned to go back.

"Listen to your father."

He wasn’t willing to get involved with such a mysterious girl like Zhu Yingying.

Being beautiful was one thing.

Having an Enchanting Body was another.

Yet with an innocent façade.

Her identity was likely not just as simple as being the daughter of the Five Poisons Sect Elder.

However.

As soon as Shen Xuan entered the house.

The doorbell rang.

He had no choice but to open the door.

Zhu Yingying was forcefully pushing through the door to squeeze inside.

A torrent of waves.

Almost crashing into Shen Xuan.

She was indeed intent on forcing her way in!

Shen Xuan had to step back, and turn sideways to let her enter.

"I don’t care, you must treat me well this once!"

"Otherwise, I’ll stay here and not leave!"

Shen Xuan was caught between laughter and tears.

As a seventy-year-old creature, how could he compare himself to a teenage girl?

Helpless.

He had no choice but to personally serve her a prepared cup of Spirit Tea.

"Finish this cup of Spirit Tea, then you should return home!"

"It’s too late; it’s not safe on the road."

"If anything happens, I can’t face your father."

Zhu Yingying laughed and said, "I’m tired! I’ll rest here for the night and head back tomorrow!"

"As you wish! But sleep in the guest room, don’t disturb me and my wife!"

Shen Xuan didn’t bother with her.

In his eyes, Zhu Yingying was just a spoiled girl.

There was no need to take her seriously.

He returned to the bedroom.

Ding Yuyao asked about the guest.

Shen Xuan explained briefly.

"How can this be?"

"A single girl shouldn’t easily stay in someone else’s house!"

Ding Yuyao was somewhat displeased.

Clearly, Zhu Yingying’s arrival disturbed her and her husband’s private time.

"It’s just one night."

"No matter what, she’ll be sent away tomorrow!"

Shen Xuan didn’t mind.

Zhu Yingying only had a Cultivation Realm at the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer.

No matter her abilities, she couldn’t possibly play any tricks in front of him.

"What she relies on should be that Insect Bag on her waist, filled with extremely fierce poison insects."

That night, Shen Xuan embraced his wife, closing his eyes to rest.

However, in the deep night.

He heard the sound of a girl’s crying.

Initially, it was quiet sobs.

Later, she completely let go, crying loudly.

Even Ding Yuyao in his arms was awakened by the crying.

"Husband, I’m scared!"

"It’s okay, sleep now."

But the crying persisted.

"Husband, you should go take a look. I’m afraid that girl might have an accident."

"Alright!"

Shen Xuan got up.

He walked to the guest room and gently pushed the door open.

Then, the loud buzzing sound reached his ears.

Hundreds of poisonous bees swarmed over, surrounding him completely.

Shen Xuan was prepared.

With a thought, he performed the Water Spirit Gathering Essence Technique.

A dark spirit fish suddenly leaped out of the vast sea of his Dantian, transforming into a layer of aquamarine protective spirit light that tightly enveloped him.

Hundreds of White Jade Bees buzzed around Shen Xuan.

They were merely Tier One low-grade demon insects.

They were repelled by the fierce cold ice qi emitted from Shen Xuan’s protective spirit light.

Back in the room.

Zhu Yingying was crying like pear blossoms in the rain, her tearful eyes glistening.

Her pure and lovely face was full of tear stains.

It was clear that Zhu Yingying was very downcast.

She wasn’t deliberately setting a trap for him.

These poisonous bees alone couldn’t do anything to him.

"Little girl, such a bother!"

Shen Xuan shook his head, sighing quietly within.

In his previous life, he knew that many young girls had fragile hearts.

Even small matters could make them cry as if the world were ending.

In the middle of the night, it’s even easier to feel down and indulge in self-pity.

Unexpectedly, he encountered such a situation even in the Cultivation Realm.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, what happened? Can you please stop crying?"

Shen Xuan gently asked.

He hoped to soothe Zhu Yingying’s emotions so he could go back and have a peaceful sleep.

Zhu Yingying gestured with her hand.

She recalled all the White Jade Bees into her Insect Bag.

She then cast a Cleaning Technique, wiping away the tear stains on her face.

"I’m sorry, Talisman Master Shen."

"I didn’t mean it!"

"I miss my mother."

Shen Xuan sighed softly.

After all, she was just a child of fifteen or sixteen.

"What about your mother..."

Once she started talking, Zhu Yingying found a channel to vent her emotions.

Her mother suddenly left without a word.

Her father had never liked her since childhood.

She had hardly any friends around her.

The senior brothers avoided her like the plague.

In the meantime, there was a junior brother who liked playing with her.

But unexpectedly, he disappeared mysteriously.

She had always been lonely and wanted to leave the Five Poison Sect.

But she didn’t know where to go.

Shen Xuan listened quietly.

He understood that Zhu Yingying just needed someone to talk to.

About half an hour later.

Zhu Yingying’s mood had somewhat improved.

"Sorry, Talisman Master Shen, for disturbing you for so long!"

"Rest well!"

Shen Xuan urged her, then turned to leave.

"Talisman Master Shen!"

Zhu Yingying showed a shy expression on her pretty face.

"I’m hungry! Can you make me something to eat?"

"I’m not good at cooking!"

Seeing Zhu Yingying looking so pitiful.

Shen Xuan finally gave in.

"I’ll ask my wife to make something for you."

Zhu Yingying immediately smiled radiantly, looking dazzling and bright.

Shen Xuan went back to the bedroom and briefly explained Zhu Yingying’s situation.

"I’ll make her some food,"

Ding Yuyao sighed.

She had been there before.

"I’ll go with you."

That night, Ding Yuyao made a few signature spiritual dishes to entertain Zhu Yingying.

After eating, Zhu Yingying was very satisfied.

"Madam Shen, your cooking is delicious!"

"Talisman Master Shen is really blessed!"

Shen Xuan’s face turned black.

Just before, she had been crying like pear blossoms in the rain.

Now, she was all smiles.

The moods of young girls, he couldn’t be bothered to figure out.

He accompanied Ding Yuyao, afraid that his wife might be inadvertently harmed by Zhu Yingying’s naturally enchanting body.

Morning broke with the crowing of the rooster.

"I’m leaving!"

"I will come again!"

Zhu Yingying patted her slightly swollen belly and got up to leave.

"Hmm."

Shen Xuan spoke noncommittally.

In the future, he would still need to deal with the Five Poison Sect.

Perhaps Zhu Yingying was a very good point of entry.
