Seeing the smiles on the crowd, the Long-legged Princess couldn’t help but smile happily too. With a flick of her magic, a jade vial appeared in her palm. Even without opening the lid, its rich medicinal fragrance invigorated the hearts of the gathered cultivators.
“Father,” she said, “this is a small token from me and Qiao San. Inside are top-grade immortal pills. Consuming just one can equal five hundred years of cultivation, allowing you all to soon reach the realm of free immortals. But remember, do not take too many!”
The cultivators’ eyes gleamed brighter than stars in the sky. Even the grief-stricken Dao Patriarch Yuan, who had lost his son, was trembling with excitement. With the dream of immortality realized automatically, he would have forgotten his sorrow in an instant—even kneeling down to beg for discipleship wouldn’t have seemed unreasonable.
On the ground, a single immortal pill erased old grudges among the crowd, while the aerial duel unsurprisingly reached its conclusion.
“Boom!”
Mother and daughter, You You and her child, merely disheveled Gouxin’s elaborate hairdo, but Shi’er, filled with hatred, struck Gouxin directly in a vital spot. The Fox Queen followed up with a well-timed kick.
Spitting blood and spinning, Gouxin plummeted downward. Before she could even reach the ground, the White Jade Treasure Fan of the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons flew swiftly toward her.
“Worthless wench, you shall not live!”
With a twist of the fan’s handle, it transformed into an iron club, aiming not only to shatter Gouxin’s spiritual body but to obliterate her very soul, ensuring she would never be reborn.
Suddenly, Gouxin let out a piercing scream. Her already hideous face twisted in pain as her body violently contracted, then with a loud bang, she vanished right before everyone’s eyes.
The jade fan struck nothing but dust. As the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons prepared to ascend and chase her down, the voice of the Book Spirit drifted into her ears.
“Heavenly Demon has reclaimed her; she’s beyond pursuit! Forget it—Gouxin’s soul has been gravely wounded and won’t recover for a hundred years.”
Shi’er and the four maidens floated gracefully beneath the moonlight, stirring continuous astonishment throughout the Three Realms, while a pair of envious eyes flickered briefly from the shadows. A dark figure vanished, and moments later, the Queen Mother emerged with a pleasant smile on her face.

“Qiao… Qiao San, aren’t you going to Jiuyou City to help?”
Xuanyü was still dressed in her black robes, barefoot as always. The millennia-old ice had “melted,” and now the inheritor of the Suyü lineage looked like a crystal figure—delicate and translucent. A faint rosy hue clung to her, transforming the ethereal, otherworldly maiden into a vision of alluring charm.
Compared to Xuanyü’s shy and awkward unfamiliarity, the rogue’s bold approach was surprisingly natural. He casually wrapped an arm around her slender waist and chuckled, “Jiuyou City won’t fall just yet. Meanwhile, your master and the Dragon Mother are trapped in that annoying Star-Shifting Disc and are waiting for me to rescue them. Sigh… being a man is truly a burden. Just got tricked by them, and now I have to play hero again.”
His roguish audacity was even more powerful than his magic, and even Xuanyü couldn’t help but be infected by it. Her beautiful eyes flared as she retorted, “Who tricked whom? You shameless rogue, always pretending to be the victim after taking advantage. Just wait until I report you to my master—oh!”
Before she could finish speaking, the rogue’s bold hands interrupted her mid-sentence. Qiao San savored the enchanting sight of the icy beauty’s flushed expression while flicking his finger casually.
A straight beam of light shot into the distance. In the blink of an eye, the two had vanished. Naturally, the wind couldn’t catch up, only catching faint whispers of affection lingering in the air.
“Ahh, you bad man… no… not like this, pull it out… ah… it’s still daylight… ah…”
In the void of chaos, the Dragon Mother and Taiyuan were filled with worry, while the three elders lay heavily wounded and unconscious. The two women showed no intention of approaching them.
“Dragon Mother, do you think he will come to save us?”
Trapped in dire straits, Taiyuan couldn’t help but think of the daring San. Though she could sense Qiao San’s presence and strength, she also recalled her own actions, and her beautiful eyes dimmed slightly.
The Dragon Mother had been trapped here for a long time and certainly didn’t want to remain so for millennia. The beautiful immortal was unsure of the rogue’s intentions and could only ask in return, “Taiyuan, are you really certain he received our message?”
“Yes!” Taiyuan nodded firmly, her noble and serene face blushing slightly as she continued, “Actually, you can sense it too. Haven’t you noticed a red glow appearing in your consciousness? That… is the mark he left behind.”
The Dragon Mother naturally understood how that mark had come to be, and even she shivered slightly at the thought. Together, they let out a long, helpless sigh. “Sigh… If we survive this, I won’t seek revenge on him anymore. I’ll just return to my Crystal Palace and cultivate in peace.”
“Really?!”
A clear, crisp voice smoothly picked up the conversation. A tall, graceful figure strolled in leisurely, as if wandering through a garden.
“Ahh!”
The two immortal maidens turned simultaneously, catching sight of that familiar face—handsome, yet unmistakably mischievous. The Dragon Mother instinctively brightened, but in the next moment, she exploded forward in fury.
“Rogue scoundrel, when did you get here? Do you think I won’t beat you? Dream on!”
Before Qiao San, their savior, could even steady himself, he was met with a furious assault from the Dragon Mother. The ruler of the Four Seas rained blows upon him, fists and feet flying as she vented all her pent-up frustration and resentment.
“Master!”
Xuanyü’s graceful form was transported into Taiyuan’s arms by space itself. The two clasped each other tightly, their tears flowing not only from the joy of reunion after danger but from the profound changes in their hearts.
As they wept together, Taiyuan and Xuanyü’s gazes unconsciously turned toward the same man. Their eyes clouded, and their faces and bodies flushed with heat.
The Dragon Mother and Qiao San were still locked in their “battle,” though it was no longer a martial contest—it had become a close-quarters “struggle,” probing each other’s depths.
The fiery Dragon Mother straddled the rogue’s waist, tearing through Qiao San’s rascal outfit in a few swift moves before sitting heavily down.
“Ziiii…”
With a passionate splash, the mighty and daring San was—violently taken!
“Ahh… you rogue, what have you done to me again? Mmm…”
As the massive object entered her, the Dragon Mother’s fiery heart finally registered what was happening. Yet, the ruler of the Four Seas instantly shifted the blame back onto Qiao San. As she berated him, she began to “punish” him by rocking her hips.
Qiao San thrust upward powerfully, burying himself completely inside her. With a sly grin, he didn’t expose her pretense but instead responded eagerly to the Dragon Mother’s passionate cries.
While this unusual couple reveled in their passion, another pair of beautiful immortals could only watch helplessly, torn between laughter and tears. Though Taiyuan didn’t know exactly what had transpired between Xuanyü and Qiao San during their separation, she could guess.
A rosy “aura” began to spread, soon enveloping Taiyuan and her disciple. With a subtle nudge from Qiao San, the four—man and women—were soon entangled together…
