Rumor has it that the Water Moon Sect of the Xuantian Continent has announced that it will open its gates in a few days to recruit disciples. As a second-tier sect of the Xuantian Continent, the Water Moon Sect naturally attracts the attention of numerous wandering cultivators and major clans, who are sending their young masters and ladies with hefty sums of money to join. Though it is said that entering a sect requires a divine root, the number of those dreaming of leaping through the dragon gate is countless.
A hundred miles away from the Water Moon Sect's mountain gates, the city of Water Heaven, which belongs to the sect, was already teeming with people, all seeking a glimpse of divine opportunity.
In a private room of an inn, a young woman in a green robe stood by the window. Though her face was hidden by a straw hat, her graceful figure, the prominent curves of her chest, and the faint glimpse of snow-white cleavage peeking through her clothing were enough to reveal that she was a beauty capable of driving countless men mad with desire.
My name is Fang Ling. I am the eldest daughter of the Fang family, a prominent clan from the Southern Mountains. Now that the Fang family has fallen into decline, my father died in the Demon Tide, leaving the clan leaderless. My mother, overcome with grief, disappeared overnight. In this world where men are revered and women are despised, though I am a woman, I am the only daughter of the Fang family and have six older brothers. My father always treated me with great affection.
To find my mother, I traveled thousands of miles to the Xuantian Continent. There is a friend of my father's at the Water Moon Sect. In the will my father left me, he wrote that if anything happened to him, I must go alone to seek help from his friend Dao Shan.
Though I am not yet eighteen, I have inherited my mother's divine beauty, and my figure is even more stunning than hers. The gates of the Fang family were once trampled by suitors, but my father always stopped them. Now that my father has fallen in battle against the demonic tide, how much longer can the declining Fang family protect me? If I stay here, I will eventually be kidnapped by a powerful clan and forced into servitude. This "gift" from heaven will become my worst nightmare.
Thus, I had no choice but to flee far away under a false name, seeking a new path.
Looking out the window at the bustling crowd on the street, I clenched the Qingfeng sword tightly in my hand. This was the only item my mother had left me, and it gave me a sense of security.
Little did I know that someone was watching me from outside the window. By the time I noticed, he had already vanished without a trace.
Though I had been wearing a straw hat all along, my figure still drew the attention of many unscrupulous individuals. Though I managed to avoid danger along the way, the closer I got to the Water Moon Sect, the stronger an ominous feeling grew in my heart.
However, the Water Moon Sect wouldn't open its gates for several more days, so there was no point in rushing. Looking at the dwindling silver in my silk pouch, I forced myself to suppress the anxiety in my heart.
"Miss, we haven't heard any news about your mother yet, but I've heard another piece of information." A familiar voice rang out, accompanied by a knock on the door.
I beckoned her inside. Xiao Lan was my maid, who had been by my side since childhood and was one of the few people I trusted implicitly.
"Miss, the Water Moon Sect has once again announced that the children of prominent families may arrive early for the spiritual root assessment. We have an invitation as well. There's no time to waste, shall we depart immediately?"
"Is the information reliable?" I was overjoyed at this news; I couldn't bear to stay here another moment.
Xiao Lan discreetly smoothed out her slightly disheveled clothes and hair, then lowered her head and said, "I paid five taels of silver to a Li family guard to find out. Several major families have already set off on horseback. Let's go too, Miss."
I bit my lip, placing my hand on my chest, which was unusually large for a girl my age. After a moment of thought, I realized that this place was teeming with informants, and it was likely that many had already set their sights on me. As two defenseless women traveling alone without any bodyguards, we were essentially sitting ducks. If we didn't leave now, when would we?
"Let's leave immediately."
Two days later, on a narrow path just a few dozen miles from the Water Moon Sect, the two girls were riding their horses at full speed.
The lead woman wore a white silk robe, her long black hair flowing in the wind. Her delicate eyebrows and slender face were as delicate as a flower, her lips as soft as petals, and her eyes as gentle as the moon. Her unadorned face made everything around her pale in comparison, as if everything existed only to highlight her beauty. The slight movement of her chest as the horse galloped forward, and the faint glimpse of snow-white skin peeking out from the hem of her skirt, caused many men watching from the shadows to struggle to contain themselves. What a breathtakingly beautiful woman!
The two women were Fang Ling and her maid Xiao Lan.
As we drew closer to the Water Moon Sect, I removed my straw hat. Revealing one's face to the disciples of the Immortal Gate was a grave offense, especially in this world where men were revered and women were expected to marry and raise children. Moreover, the majority of those who entered the Immortal Gate were men, and even women with spiritual roots were not recognized. Only the daughters of prominent families had a sliver of a chance to enter the Immortal Gate.
Gripping the silk pouch tightly in my hand, the letter inside was my greatest hope. As long as I could enter the Water Moon Sect and find my father's old friend Dao Shan, everything would finally be settled.
Around me, members of other prominent families were beginning to gather, and temporary encampments were being set up in the distance.
Feeling the gazes around me, some curious, some admiring, some greedy, I noticed that some even had their lower bodies slightly bulging. I had grown accustomed to these glances and continued forward without flinching. Though I felt ashamed and angry at the disgusting stares, I could do nothing about them. This was not the Fang family estate; I couldn't afford to provoke any of these prominent families.
"Miss, we can already see the gates of the Water Moon Sect. We can rest here." After two days of continuous travel, we were inevitably tired, and Xiao Lan was already struggling to keep going.
I ordered the horses to be led to a secluded, shaded spot and sat down with Xiao Lan to rest.
"Are you planning to join the immortal sect?" A voice with a hint of frivolity rang out.
A young man wearing a square cap and adorned in luxurious silk robes appeared before me, accompanied by dozens of hideous-looking guards.
His expression was arrogant, but his complexion was sallow, and his sunken eye sockets betrayed a life of excess. He clearly had a reputation for debauchery, and now he was scanning my figure with a highly aggressive gaze, lingering particularly on the prominent curves of my chest.
When he noticed me looking at him, he raised his head slightly and said,
"My name is Li Nan, the second young master of the Li family of Wangtian City. May I invite you to rest for a moment? After all, we will all soon be immortals." He spoke as if he hadn't even considered my response, and began to sit down.
Though I was angered by his rude behavior, upon seeing the guards behind him, I sighed and moved aside.
"Thank you. A precious jade for a beauty may I ask your name?" Li Nan skillfully took a jade ornament that seemed quite valuable from his attendant and attempted to present it to me. His swift and practiced movements clearly indicated he was accustomed to such gestures.
"Fang Ling."
Hearing Fang Ling's voice, clear as water, Li Nan felt an intense itch in his heart, longing to press this heavenly beauty beneath him and hear her use that voice to scream lustfully. At this thought, his lower body swelled with desire.
Closing her eyes slightly and shaking her head, I had no desire to engage in further conversation with such a man. Saying this, I pulled Xiao Lan to her feet and led her to another location.
Little did we know that as soon as we stood up, a group of guards stood before the two of us. I felt my breathing grow heavy, and anger burned within me, but I had no choice but to endure it.
"I'm truly wishes to enter the Immortal Gate. Though the jade is fine, Mr. Li should return it and bestow it upon your beloved concubine," I said calmly, facing Li Nan.
"My concubine cannot compare to Miss Fang in any way. This place is not far from Wangtian City. I urge Miss Fang to accept the jade as a token of goodwill. Li is but a fool; I hope Miss Fang will look out for me when I enter the Immortal Gate in the future." Li Nan smiled lewdly, his humble words tinged with an unknown meaning.
Xiao Lan looked at me with concern, her expression tense, glancing at the guards and then at Li Nan.
"Miss, perhaps we should just accept it for now. This place is under the protection of the Immortal Gate; it's best not to cause trouble. If a conflict arises and angers the immortals, what will we do then?" Xiao Lan whispered to me.
I bit my lower lip, feeling an implicit threat in Li Nan's words. My anger grew, but I could do nothing but sigh.
"If that's the case, then thank you, Mr. Li."
As I reached out to take the jade, Li Nan deliberately refused to let go, as if teasing me. I felt both ashamed and angry, and pulled slightly harder. Suddenly, he let go of the jade and grabbed my delicate hand, pulling me forcefully into his embrace. Then he reached out and grabbed my alluring breasts, squeezing them roughly. The other hand rested on my jade-like buttocks, pinching and pulling through the sheer garment, intentionally tightening it to reveal the alluring curves of my perfect hips. Meanwhile, a large bulge in his lower body pressed against the delicate crevice between my legs.
"Ah... you! Let me go!" I felt immense shame and humiliation, my heart filled with anger and embarrassment. I had never experienced such humiliation in my life, and I struggled desperately. But how could a pampered young lady like me possibly match the strength of a man? I felt myself being held tightly, constantly molested by this lecherous man, who was freely insulting me.
"Miss!" Xiao Lan rushed forward in panic, but was blocked by a group of guards, leaving her frantic with worry. Several guards surrounded me and Li Nan, blocking the view of anyone nearby who might try to intervene.
Apparently thinking it was best not to cause a scene under the gates of the Immortal Sect, Li Nan took a deep breath of the heavenly fragrance emanating from the beauty before him. He lifted the sheer robe and pinched the tempting curves between her breasts, twisting them roughly.
"Ah!"
The pain from her nipples caused me to scream in shame and anger. Li Nan released his hands and used the bulge between his legs to forcefully thrust into the valley between my legs, pushing me away with force.
"Who is causing trouble here?" Several disciples of the Water Moon Sect, dressed in blue robes, rushed over from the distance.
Humiliated by Li Nan's actions, I felt nothing but shame and humiliation. I glared at him with fury, ready to draw my sword, but was stopped by Xiao Lan, who grabbed my arm in panic.
Li Nan knelt down on one knee first, speaking respectfully, "Honored sages, I happened to meet an old friend and was reminiscing, enjoying a friendly chat with Miss Fang. I did not cause any trouble."
An elderly disciple of the Water Moon Sect stepped forward, casually glanced at Li Nan, then fixed his gaze on me. He paused for a moment, his eyes flashing with a hint of astonishment.
"Hmph! Do not make a commotion in front of the Water Moon Sect. Gathering a crowd to cause trouble is not permitted. Do not let me see this again. Though you are from a prominent family and have privileges, they are merely privileges. Behave yourselves." The elder disciple glared harshly at Li Nan, causing him to lower his head in fear. He then turned his gaze to me, his eyes roaming freely over my figure. Though I felt uncomfortable, facing an immortal, I could only bow my head and pay my respects.
He then swept his sleeves aside, and along with several Water Moon Sect disciples, he departed on flying swords, leaving everyone in awe.
As the immortal departed, Li Nan quickly stood up, smirking lightly: "Miss Fang is truly a beauty beyond compare. In my opinion, even the legendary Wang Xianji, who stunned the entire Xuantian Continent, cannot compare to you." He then placed the hand that had earlier groped my buttocks to his nose, inhaling deeply, his face contorted in ecstasy.
Seeing this disgusting and humiliating behavior, I closed my eyes, trembled, took a deep breath, and forced down the urge to kill him. I turned around and pulled Xiao Lan away quickly.
This time, Li Nan's guards did not stop us. They only watched as Li Nan's eyes fixed on my retreating figure, especially the snow-white legs peeking out from beneath the skirt, gazing at them with lecherous intent. He placed the silk scarf he had stolen from me earlier under his nose and took another deep breath.
"Master, should we capture this woman and present her to you?" A large-eared guard quickly stepped forward and asked respectfully.
"Fool! Take back your words! The immortal is all-powerful. If he hears you, neither of us will escape unscathed!" Li Nan kicked the large-eared guard, who immediately bowed and returned to his ranks.
"Besides, there's plenty of time. I won't let this peerless beauty slip away. She'll eventually be beneath me, moaning and writhing in pleasure."
Li Nan took the silk scarf he had stolen from me and slipped it into his silk robe, moving it slightly over the bulge in his lower body. Soon, the scarf was covered in a sticky, pale yellow liquid.
