Duan Ling Tian had been looking forward to seeing Murong Bing again. He was nervous earlier, uncertain if she had come to Alchemy City as well. Now that Lyu Luo said Murong Bing was in the city as well, his eyes brightened, and he could not help but feel excited. He would be able to see that woman whom he had considered his own soon.

Lyu Luo sternly said, “I’ve already answered your question so you better take me to that woman called Huan’er. You better not lie to me. Otherwise, I definitely won’t let you off the hook. My senior granduncle won’t let the Tai Yi Celestial Sect go as well!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll keep my promise,” Duan Ling Tian calmly said. Then, he turned to look at Situ Ming and Yang Chong who were standing at the side and said, “Master Situ, Master Yang, both of you can take your leave. Just leave her to me.”

“Alright!” Yang Chong hurriedly replied, lest he had to deal with Lyu Luo again.

“Thank you, Master Duan,” Situ Ming said.

Then, the two prominent Celestial Alchemists left the main hall together, leaving only Duan Ling Tian and Lyu Luo in the hall.

Lyu Luo was about to speak again when Duan Ling Tian looked at her and said, “Let’s go.” Then, he turned around and walked outside.

Lyu Luo quickly followed Duan Ling Tian. After she caught up with him, she asked, “Hey! Pretty boy, my name is Lyu Luo. What’s your name?”

“Duan Ling Tian,” Duan Ling Tian responded, “Also, I’m not a pretty boy… If you call me pretty boy again, I’ll go back on my words.”

Faced with Duan Ling Tian’s threat, Lyu Luo was dissatisfied. She said with a scoff, “I thought you’re more honest compared to those two old men, but I guess I was wrong.”

Duan Ling Tian did not respond to her words, instead, he asked, “You went to such great lengths just to meet Huan’er and verify if she’s more beautiful than your Third Senior Sister?”

“Of course,” Lyu Luo replied, “So many people said she’s more beautiful than my Third Senior Sister so I want to see how beautiful she is… My Third Senior Sister is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in my life. I don’t believe there’s someone more beautiful than her.”

“Your Third Senior Sister did not come with you. This means she doesn’t care about this matter, right? You came on your own not only because of your Third Senior Sister’s sake, but you’re curious as well, right?” Duan Ling Tian looked at Lyu Luo knowingly with his bright eyes. It seemed as though he could read Lyu Luo’s thoughts.

“So what? Anyway, you’ve already promised me so you have to take me to her!” Lyu Luo did not deny Duan Ling Tian’s words.

Soon after, Duan Ling Tian arrived in his courtyard in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s residence in Alchemy City. He asked Lyu Luo to wait for him in the compound before he walked to Huan’er’s room. He gently knocked on the door before he opened it and walked in.

Lyu Luo wanted to follow Duan Ling Tian into the room, but he shut the door in her face. Realization dawned on her as she stared at the room intently, as though she was afraid she would miss the people coming out of the room. “That woman… is in this room?”

Inside the room.

Duan Ling Tian had told Huan’er they would explore Alchemy City after resting for a few days. She had taken this time to comprehend her Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities.

“Brother Ling Tian,” Huan’er called out when she discovered Duan Ling Tian’s presence.

“Huan’er, there is a little girl outside who wants to see you,” Duan Ling Tian said.

“Huh?” Huan’er was confused when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. “Little girl? Who’s she?”

“Her name is Lyu Luo, and she’s a disciple of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. I promised her that I’ll let her meet you. You just need to go out for a moment, and let her take a look at you…” Duan Ling Tian said.

Huan’er smiled slightly and rose to her feet, getting ready to leave the room. “Well, since you promised her, I’ll go out and meet her.” She did not even ask Duan Ling Tian why he agreed to Lyu Luo’s request. In her eyes, everything Duan Ling Tian did was for good reasons, and he would never harm her. Therefore, she trusted him unconditionally and did not put up her guard against him.

“Let’s go.” Duan Ling Tian nodded, preparing to leave the room as well. Before they exited the room, he added, “That girl’s words can be offensive… Just let her look at you for a short while, then you can return to your room.”

“Okay.” Huan’er nodded before she left the room under Duan Ling Tian’s lead.

When Huan’er’s door opened, Lyu Luo’s eyes lit up immediately. She had been staring at the door all this while. “She’s here!”

Lyu Luo ignored the familiar figure that walked out of the room first, her attention was completely focused on the second person who was walking out of the room. When she saw the appearance of the second figure, her eyes widened slightly as a hint of astonishment flashed in her eyes. The sunlight shone on a woman dressed in a thin white robe, revealing her face and figure. The white-clad woman’s appearance was flawless, and her figure was graceful. She had never seen such a beautiful woman in her life. It was as though the white-clad woman was a goddess who had descended from the heavens. The white-clad woman’s face seemed as though it was personally sculpted by God himself. Moreover, although the white-clad woman was peerlessly beautiful, she exuded an air of innocence. These contradicting traits made the white-clad woman even more charming. She had no choice but to admit the white-clad woman’s beauty eclipsed her Third Senior Sister’s beauty. Before this, she did not think such a beautiful woman existed in this world. She could not tear her eyes away from the white-clad woman even though she was also a woman. She had seen many beautiful women in her life. In fact, her Third Senior Sister was a rare beauty. However, none could compare to the white-clad woman standing before her.

Lyu Luo’s eyes were trained on Huan’er as she thought to herself, ‘She’s really too perfect… How can there be such a perfect woman in this world?’ Everyone appreciated beauty, and Lyu Luo was no different even if she was just a little girl. ‘All the men who see her will definitely go crazy for her… Ordinary men definitely wouldn’t be able to resist her charm and beauty. Some might even be driven to commit heinous acts. Fortunately, she’s from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect so most people wouldn’t dare to act recklessly. Otherwise, I don’t think she’d be able to remain safe for long.”

“Huan’er, you can return to your room now,” Duan Ling Tian said when Lyu Luo was still in a daze.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Lyu Lou regained her senses. She watched as Huan’er, who was only obedient to Duan Ling Tian, returned to her room.

Duan Ling Tian glanced at Lyu Luo and asked, “Are you satisfied now?”

“What a surprise! There’s truly a woman who’s even more beautiful than my Third Senior Sister… Pretty boy, you’re really lucky to be favored by such a woman,” Lyu Luo said as she looked at Duan Ling Tian. She had noticed Huan’er did not look at her at all when she came out of her room. Huan’er’s attention was completely focused on Duan Ling Tian, and her eyes were filled with tenderness when she looked at him. Although she was young, she knew a lot about the romantic relationships between men and women.

“Did you just call me a pretty boy again?” Duan Ling Tian frowned and said, somewhat dissatisfied, “Are you burning the bridge now that you’ve gotten what you want?”

“So what if I am? I have already seen her so you can’t threaten me anymore,” Lyu Luo said smugly. She was delighted when she saw the dissatisfied expression on Duan Ling Tian’s face. Her bad mood seemed to have disappeared, she felt as though she had successfully taken revenge from Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian did not bicker with Lyu Luo. She was a little girl after all. Instead, he solemnly said, “Lyu Luo, I want to meet your Third Senior Sister…”

“Huh?” Lyu Luo’s smug expression froze when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. She frowned and asked, “Why do you want to see my Third Senior Sister?” She scoffed before she continued to say, “Master’s right! Men are all no good. You’re a cheater! You already have such a perfect woman by your side, and yet, you still have designs on my Third Senior Sister!”

“Don’t talk nonsense… There’s nothing between Huan’er and me. I treat her like my younger sister,” Duan Ling Tian said with a frown.

“Younger sister?” Lyu Luo said disdainfully, “Do you think I’m stupid? I’m young, but I’m not blind! The way she looked at you earlier told me everything I need to know. No one would believe there’s nothing going on between both of you!”
