Meng Bai, Cattaleya and Elyon watched quietly, even the mischievous glint leaving Cattaleya's eyes for a moment as the atmosphere shifted.
But the most surprising thing was how long it took.
Lin Mu expected a few breaths.
Instead, it took him nearly two full minutes of continuous chanting. Daoist Chu's mind was apparently so polluted by Mistress Tender Flower's shameless flirting that Lin Mu had to cut through layer after layer of lingering mental filth.
In Lin Mu's mind, Xukong finally spoke.
"That woman," the Old Spider muttered with disbelief, "might actually have the ability to generate heart demons through flirting alone. I have never seen something so potent or so tragic."
Lin Mu nearly faltered in his chant. "Senior, even you are disturbed?"
"I am not disturbed," Xukong said. "I am impressed. And afraid. Mostly afraid. Keep chanting."
