We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

Chapter 524: Three Lives, Three Worlds Pill

Tightly clutching the bottle of Immortal-Bewildering Water in her hand, Xiangniang felt her confidence swell. Full of certainty, she stepped back into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Xiao Mo sat cross-legged on a stone stool, eyes closed in cultivation. Resonance of the Way flowed around him, and in the evening light, his clear, handsome face looked all the more striking.

“I have to admit, he really is good-looking.”

Xiangniang sighed inwardly in admiration, then swayed her lush, rounded figure and walked gracefully forward. In a soft, coquettish voice, she said, “Young Master, you work so hard at cultivation every day, all to raise your realm, don’t you? I happen to have a better method here, one that can make your realm rise even faster. Would Young Master like to try it?”

“Thank you for your kindness, miss, but there is no need.” Xiao Mo shook his head, his tone calm and distant.

“Tch...”

Xiangniang clicked her tongue inwardly, though her face gave nothing away.

Keep being stubborn, then.

Tonight, I’d like to see how you fall beneath my skirts.

Once he tasted that marrow-deep pleasure, she refused to believe he could stay as firm as he was now.

By then, perhaps he would spend all day throwing himself at her, and she would not be able to drive him away even if she tried.

Before she knew it, the day had finally passed.

After dinner, the sky gradually darkened. Twilight closed in from every side, covering the entire small courtyard.

Xiangniang took a meticulous fragrant flower bath in the tub, soaking every inch of her skin with floral scent. Then she changed into a thin, light dress and walked out of the room with delicate grace.

She brewed Xiao Mo a cup of tea. While he was unguarded, she quietly poured the Immortal-Bewildering Water into the tea and gently swirled it.

“Young Master, have a cup of tea.”

Just as usual, Xiangniang carried the tea over, her steps light and graceful as lotus petals, and came to Xiao Mo’s side with a soft, charming smile.

Xiao Mo accepted the cup. He lowered his head and glanced at the clear tea, then raised his eyes and looked calmly at Xiangniang.

Xiangniang felt faintly nervous. She wondered in secret whether he had noticed something, but her face remained all smiles as she deliberately said in a calm voice, “What is it, Young Master? Surely you are not worried I poisoned it?”

“That, I am not.” Xiao Mo lifted the cup, tilted back his head, and drank it all in one swallow.

Seeing Xiao Mo drink every last drop of tea in the cup, Xiangniang could not help clenching her fists in secret. In her mind, the matter was already halfway done.

“Young Master should rest early. Xiangniang will return to her room first.” Xiangniang dipped in a bow, then turned and walked gracefully back to her room.

Inside the room, Xiangniang stared without blinking through the crack in the door at Xiao Mo in the courtyard, quietly waiting for the medicine to take effect.

About the time it took an incense stick to burn, Xiangniang saw Xiao Mo begin drinking water again and again. His face flushed red, and his expression looked hot and restless, as if he could hardly bear it. Even the roots of his ears were stained with color.

What made Xiangniang’s heartbeat quicken even more was that she discovered Xiao Mo glancing secretly toward her room from time to time.

That gaze was like a starving beast fixed on meat in a kitchen, full of undisguised desire.

Xiangniang knew it was time for her to appear.

“Young Master...”

She pushed open the door and walked out.

At this moment, Xiangniang wore only a thin gauze dress. Beneath it, her fair skin appeared and vanished under the moonlight, adding a misty, seductive charm.

“I wonder what the miss gave me to drink?” Xiao Mo raised his head. His burning gaze fixed on Xiangniang, and his voice was low.

“What else could it be? Something good, of course—something that can bring Young Master supreme bliss.”

Xiangniang brushed at the gauze dress, thin as cicada wings, and her full body gently settled onto Xiao Mo’s lap. Her hands softly wound around his neck. Her red lips parted slightly, breathing out a warm, fragrant breath, and her expression was hazy, as though steeped in spring water.

“Young Master does not need to do anything. I... will serve Young Master well.”

Before her words had faded, Xiangniang moved to slowly remove Xiao Mo’s clothes. Her fragrant lips lightly covered his, and her snow-white skin pressed tightly against his body.

At some point, that thin gauze dress had slipped from her shoulders, revealing a large expanse of fair, delicate skin. It lay loose and scattered at her slender waist.

And Xiao Mo’s hands followed the motion, circling her incomparably soft, smooth waist.

...

Reality.

Nine-Tails Kingdom.

In a courtyard deep within the rear palace, a rich and mellow fragrance of pills filled the air.

And inside this alchemy chamber—

A woman dressed in snow-white palace robes was kneeling upright before an alchemy furnace.

Behind her, nine long, snow-white tails swayed gently with the breeze, like nine flowing clouds.

Strand after strand of icy qi poured continuously into the furnace, controlling the heat inside with absolute precision.

The woman had already been refining this pill for a full four months. All the medicinal ingredients had long since been placed into the furnace, and now she was completing the final step.

Sensing that the time had come, the woman lifted her jade-white chin. Her cherry lips parted slightly, and a snow-white demon core slowly flew from her mouth, hovering steadily above the alchemy furnace.

The instant the woman’s Ascension Realm demon core appeared, phantoms of immortal foxes suddenly manifested above the entire imperial palace. Like a surging ocean, vast and turbulent demon qi {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} swept out, covering heaven and earth.

The lid of the furnace slowly opened by itself.

Drawn by the Ascension Realm demon core, the pill inside the furnace finally flew out.

BOOM!

At the very instant the pill emerged into the world, layer after layer of black tribulation clouds gathered above the alchemy furnace.

Whenever an immortal-grade pill was born, a pill tribulation would inevitably descend, seeking to prevent the myriad races from seizing the fortune of heaven and earth.

“Begone!”

The woman did not truly speak aloud, but her voice spread through the entire imperial palace like thunder.

In an instant, the thunderclouds condensed by the pill tribulation were shaken apart and dispersed.

The woman extended her flawless jade hands, and the newly refined immortal-grade pill drifted lightly into her pale, tender palm.

Then that Ascension Realm demon core was swallowed back into her belly.

“Does Your Majesty truly mean to give this pill to Jiang Qingyi, the sect master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?”

Inside the alchemy chamber, a bewitching woman stood quietly beside Tushan Jingci, hands folded before her.

However, her figure was transparent. She seemed to have no physical body, only a remnant soul.

“I do. Why would I not?” Tushan Jingci turned her head and looked at the woman. Her tone was calm, yet carried a stubbornness that would not yield. “If he cannot remember, what meaning would there be in killing him just like this?”

As she spoke, Tushan Jingci smiled softly.

That smile was so beautiful, yet so lonely and despairing.

It was as though her heart had been pressed deep into a bottomless darkness, where it could hear no sound and see no light.

“If he cannot remember...”

“How am I supposed to ask him—why did he destroy my Tushan clan, yet leave only me alive?”

“Xiangniang, what do you think?”
