Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 52 - 50: Realistic Performance, Backstabbing Jade Face

In the grand chamber of the Iron Buddha Temple, pink peach blossom miasma and delicate elves alike returned to a magical treasure known as the "Five Lustful Peach Blossoms Banner."

Situ Fei had a deeply ingrained memory of this treasure, its power terrifying, constituting a good portion of Pan Hongniang's combat strength.

With those filths gone, only a fair-skinned, red-dressed girl remained in the room, baby-faced and so adorable one might think her a child.

Who would have thought?

This seemingly frail girl, who looked as if she could be knocked down with a single punch, was actually Nongyu Immortal Pan Hongniang, a respectable figure amongst evil cultivators.

At that moment, she lay on a bed draped in red silk, extending her delicate hand, beckoning her beloved disciple over.

Tao Qian entered the room, walking step by step, his eyes fixed on the innocent-looking girl, striving not to think about the images flooding his mind.

Meanwhile, he analyzed the plans brewing in the original owner's memory.

Today, demons had provoked the town of Seeking Immortal County, yet neither mid-level demons like Pan Hongniang nor Lan Qing'er had gone, only great demons and others meant to harass and incite panic among the citizens had.

It was precisely this opportunity that Lan Qing'er took to clandestinely hand the "Corpse Mother Filth Blood Pearl" to Situ Fei.

Their plan was simple: as soon as Situ Fei returned, Pan Hongniang was sure to summon him to her side, and during their intimate moments, he was to cast the "Jade Demon Chaos God Skill" to take control of Pan's spirit.

Despite their difference in cultivation, control wouldn't last long.

But a few breaths' time would be enough, for the Filth Blood Pearl would take effect and signal Lan Qing'er, the Jade-faced Lady in the temple, to arrive immediately.

Together, they could perfectly seize Pan Hongniang's foundation.

"The plan is crude and venomous."

"It seems there's a significant chance it could succeed."

Tao Qian finished reviewing and offered his evaluation.

He could tell, the way Pan Hongniang treated Situ Fei was indeed distinct from her other disciples.

If he acted abruptly, it might just work.

However, there was one problem.

Situ Fei was still here, but the Filth Blood Pearl was gone.

How should the plan proceed now?

Tao Qian suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed, his mind flashing with these thoughts while the puppet body, following old habits, naturally climbed onto the soft, warm, red silk bed.

As Tao Qian internally screamed "Don't," he pulled the young girl Pan Hongniang into his arms.

Indeed!

From the outside, this scene might actually look quite charming.

Though according to normal circumstances, what might have happened next was best shielded from the eyes of outsiders and children.

Deep down, Tao Qian desperately wanted to push the girl away and flee.

He wouldn't mind embracing a real girl, but could the one in his arms be genuine?

Not to mention her actual age of "one hundred fifty years," just her real identity alone was enough to cause Tao Qian to lose his appetite for days.

Unfortunately, Tao Qian was currently cherished as a beloved disciple and lover, unable to push her away and instead needing to hold her even tighter.

The only consolation, or rather, Tao Qian's moment of triumph.

Despite it being just the puppet body, contact was made and his divine soul within was triggered, effortlessly initiating Extraordinary Perception.

Perhaps it was because of Pan Hongniang's visibly unusual state, or perhaps their physical contact had crossed a certain threshold.

This time, Tao Qian astoundingly perceived a significant amount of hidden information about this demon of several ranks higher than him.

Though the information gleaned came in fragments.

[Name: Pan Hongniang.]

[Record Type: Demon.]

[Record: A native of Xiangxi... entered the Dao 130 years ago, cultivated the "Five Lusts Enchanting Immortal Scripture"... Spent ten years gathering hundreds of young girls, brutally killing them and burying them deep within the Peach Blossom Miasma Forest, eventually crafting the magical treasure "Five Lustful Peach Blossoms Banner"... Outwardly innocent like a girl, but inwardly twisted and ruthlessly ferocious...]

[Note 1: During her cultivation years ago, she experienced complications which led the demon to backlash, causing mutations in both body and soul, preventing her from advancing to the next realm.]

[Note 2: At the time of the backlash mutation, Pan Hongniang should have died on the spot... as fate had it, she encountered a person born with a captivating and lascivious nature, forcibly seized his pure essence blood to save her own life... due to accidents during the absorption, she developed a deranged affection for this man, possessing an uncontrollable strong desire to own him.]

[Note 3: Although Pan Hongniang has no chance of advancing to the next realm, her combat power has not declined but improved. If she disregards the mutation, she will become even more ferocious.]

…

The puppet body continued to venture over the girl.

Tao Qian himself, however, was a bit stunned.

To be honest, due to the gap in cultivation between him and "Pan Hongniang," Tao Qian wasn't able to perceive very detailed information.

But the perverse relationship between the original owner and Pan Hongniang was inexplicably clarified.

Evidently, that so-called innately captivating and lascivious person was none other than Situ Fei.

Realizing this, Tao Qian fell deep into thought.

A myriad of ideas surged within him.

Without the Filth Blood Pearl, the original owner's plan was naturally void, but due to the collusion with the Jade-faced Lady, he couldn't just overlook this matter and needed to find a solution.

Initially, Tao Qian couldn't think of an appropriate method, given that the original owner's betrayal was imminent.

To erase evidence and future troubles was indeed difficult.

Tao Qian saw a possibility:

"With Pan Hongniang's abnormal, distorted love for the original master Situ Fei, if I voluntarily leak secrets and reveal the grievances of the original master, this fierce immortal might not only not harm me, but may also feel guilty, try to make amends, favor me, and even help me break through to the Qi Refining Realm."

"Of course, the first thing she would do is probably kill that Jade-faced Lady, Lan Qing'er."

"Pan Hongniang might endure other matters, but her possessiveness towards Situ Fei has reached a pathological level, Lan Qing'er is definitely a provocation."

"For the sake of refining the Five Lustful Peach Blossoms Banner, Pan Hongniang caused the death of hundreds of young girls, practiced cultivation for over a hundred years, and relying on the power of that banner, committed countless sins."

"And that Lan Qing'er, also a brutal evil demon, specializes in the Confusing Gods and Hearts Skill, takes pleasure in manipulating people's hearts, like directly bewitching mortals to turn against their kin, or confusing generals who command military forces, to massacre villagers... Her cultivation of over a hundred years has also caused countless deaths."

"Letting these two kill each other, there's nothing to hesitate about."

These thoughts settled, Tao Qian immediately made a decision.

Unconsciously, his movements grew forceful.

However, he heard a tender cry from his arms, the naive red-dressed girl had already opened her clothes.

Pan Hongniang, looking at her beloved disciple, tearfully said, "Fei'er seems troubled today, did you encounter problems in Seeking Immortal County, those ant-like creatures, actually making my Fei'er unhappy, I will go and slaughter them now."

That said, the girl was about to get up.

Tao Qian immediately used both hands to press her down, then acted on the thoughts in his mind.

Without even thinking to change his posture, Tao Qian opened his mouth, reciting the mnemonic of cultivation.

But what came out was not any part of the Peach Blossom Enchanting Immortal Scripture.

Instead, it was a magic skill that felt very familiar to Pan Hongniang.

Tao Qian had just recited halfway when Pan Hongniang, originally naive and charming, suddenly turned ice-cold, her lively eyes filled with terrifying killing intent.

"Boom"

In an instant, as the pink peach blossom miasma surged out, countless peach blossom petals, sharp enough to slice mountains, shot out wildly.

Pan Hongniang, completely enveloped in pink demonic Qi, stared deathly at Tao Qian, coldly said, "Jade Demon Chaos God Skill, the Demon Woman Lan Qing'er's magic skill, how did you learn it?"

Tao Qian knew that a wrong answer at this moment would lead to a terrible outcome.

However, having understood Pan Hongniang's uncontrollable "distorted love and possessiveness" for her disciple, Tao Qian was not worried.

He just gave Pan Hongniang a cold laugh, then leaned to her ear, and began whispering.

He revealed all his sinister dealings with Lan Qing'er.

After finishing, Tao Qian did not bother with Pan Hongniang's shocked expression, as if resigning himself to fate, he raised his hand and pointed at the face of the woman known as the Nongyu Immortal, cursing, "I told you these cunning and poisonous plans, not because I, Situ Fei, feel guilty and want to show my loyalty to seek your forgiveness."

"I, Situ Fei, since entering your Peach Blossom Immortal Valley, have managed your foundation and never slacked off."

"But you, as a master, did not plan for my cultivation, nor helped me climb to higher realms, which is one thing."

"Who would have thought you would be so insatiable, coveting my body day and night for replenishment, causing my essence blood to constantly be in deficit; even with some talent and desperate hard cultivation, I was firmly blocked from making any progress in the Energy-Introducing Realm."

"This time, my voluntary disclosure of secrets is just to repay your initial kindness in taking me in."

"You may kill or slice me as you wish."

"Come on, kill me; my life, Situ Fei, should perhaps have ended in that broken temple where I met you."

At the end, Tao Qian's facial muscles trembled, his eyes reddened, looking extremely fierce.

This realistic performance naturally was not from Tao Qian.

Each sentence was actually the true feelings of the original master.

However, because of this, after he finished shouting,

Pan Hongniang was initially extremely furious, seemingly about to strike down the sinful disciple before her.

But in that moment, the distorted love and intense possessiveness that had almost become her "Heart Demon" resurfaced and firmly occupied her spirit.

Suddenly, her furious expression tenderly softened.

First, she reached out both hands, holding Tao Qian's face, gently caressing it, her eyes full of compassion.

Afterward, with a voice that made Tao Qian shudder again, and brought goosebumps all over his body, she said:

"Fei'er... your master... and Red Lady didn't realize you had so many grievances all these years."

"Don't be annoyed, it's all Red Lady's fault, it's Red Lady who was just enjoying pleasure with you and forgot about your cultivation."

"Fei'er, just wait here for a moment, let Red Lady deal with that demon woman and come back, then we can talk properly."

"Don't worry, Red Lady won't let you suffer any grievances."

With these words falling, without waiting for Tao Qian's response,

Pan Hongniang suddenly raised her hand, her fingers like white scallions, touching the point between Tao Qian's eyebrows.

Instantly, all the Source Qi and Divine Skills in his puppet body lost response, and his whole body also stiffened on this red silk bed.

And Pan Hongniang, after leaning in to kiss his lips,

Stood up, put on her red clothes, and the Five Lustful Peach Blossoms Banner standing in the room immediately fell into her hands.

With a wave of her hand, the doorway opened wide, and she transformed into a ghost-like shadow and flew out.

And then with a "bang" the door closed.

Without a doubt, she was off to kill someone.
