Investment Return System, Start by taking Demon Empress as a Disciple - Chapter 174: It's Rude to Keep Refusing

As the dragon flames dissipated at Chen Daoxuan’s casual wave, and his words entered Ao Lan’s ears, it made her thoroughly exasperated. Could something as important as her body be solved with money?

“You…!”

Ao Lan was about to open her mouth to reprimand him and launch another attack, but as soon as she saw the figure clearly, she froze.

“You, this elegant, heroic, dashing, and extraordinary senior, how could Ao Lan ever accept money from you? Senior, did you enjoy the fireworks display I put on for you just now? Actually, besides breathing fire, Ao Lan can also spout water. Would senior like to see? No money needed!”

Seeing that it was the same presence from the pavilion who had entered, Ao Lan changed her tune in an instant. Her original scolding turned into praise. Even Chen Daoxuan was taken aback by this turn of events.

This dragon, is she really this reasonable?

“Cough, don’t be nervous, this Pavilion Master isn’t a good person either. I came here this time just because I had nothing better to do, so I decided to take a stroll on the Illusory Void Mountain.”

Seeing Ao Lan’s tense demeanor, Chen Daoxuan shook his head slightly, then comforted her in a soft voice.

“Ha ha ha. You’re quite humorous, My Lord.”

Upon hearing this, Ao Lan burst into laughter. Who would say that they weren’t good person? But indeed, Chen Daoxuan’s words had helped to ease her tension a bit.

With her nerves now relaxed, she couldn’t help but scrutinize the being who had caused her both fear and concern since appearing on the Illusory Void Mountain. He had sharp brows and bright eyes, his appearance was extraordinarily handsome, his figure was slender but not weak, an all-around striking individual…

As she continued observing, Ao Lan couldn’t help but transform back into her human form, licking her lips…

“Uh, never mind. This Pavilion Master will leave first.”

Seeing Ao Lan suddenly transform into her human form and expose herself to his gaze, Chen Daoxuan felt a chill run down his spine. Even his expression seemed a bit peculiar. He decided it was best to turn around and leave.

This dragon, doesn’t seem like a good person. Just look at that gaze, it’s as if she wants to devour me…

“My Lord, please don’t leave in a hurry. Is it because there’s something about this humble woman that doesn’t meet Master’s expectations?”

Seeing Chen Daoxuan about to leave, Ao Lan bit her lip slightly. Then, she approached him, directly reached around his waist with her pristine arms from behind, and embraced him.

“Hiss…”

Feeling the softness pressing against his back, Chen Daoxuan couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.

He just wanted to take a look at what kind of beast the leader of the Illusory Void Mountain was. What’s going on here? And, could it be that all dragon races are really so big?

“This… doesn’t seem appropriate, does it? Besides, we don’t even know each other’s names yet. Isn’t this moving too fast?”

Chen Daoxuan also halted his steps for a moment, tugging at the corner of his mouth as he spoke.

“Appropriate! From the day when My Lord descended upon the Illusory Void Mountain, Ao Lan has held deep reverence for My Lord. Upon meeting today, I am even more awed by My Lord.

“Ao Lan understands that she is not worthy of My Lord’s presence. However, all Ao Lan asks for is the privilege of remaining by My Lord’s side and serving My Lord. This is already Ao Lan’s fortune!”

Ao Lan’s voice was as melodious as orchids, and she blushed as she uttered these words, which even surprised herself. With even greater boldness, she began to slowly undo Chen Daoxuan’s robes.

She was gambling. If this could succeed, her future would be boundless!

Back when the Heavenly Dao Pavilion first appeared, she had conducted a distant investigation. Just the plaque of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion had made her feel as if she was glimpsing the profound ways of the universe. And who exactly was the master of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion?

Now, the master of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion was right before her eyes. The chance to grasp this opportunity was right in front of her!

“…This is a bit too sudden, isn’t it? How about you give it some more thought? If you make up your mind, you can find me at any time. Is that alright?”

Chen Daoxuan felt a faint surge of something inexplicable within him, but he ultimately found this a bit too sudden. From the moment he entered the depths of the cave, encountered Ao Lan, and now, not even ten minutes had passed. How had things escalated to this point?

“Is My Lord finding this lady repugnant?”

Hearing this, Ao Lan’s movements didn’t slow down. On the contrary, they became quicker. She removed Chen Daoxuan’s upper robes, then, like a graceful serpent, she wound herself around to his front and nestled gently against his chest.

“…Tsk, it would be impolite to refuse any further.”

Feeling the softness pressing against his chest, Chen Daoxuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Though he couldn’t entirely fathom the situation at hand, as a man, who could repeatedly reject the allure of such a captivating beauty? Coupled with Ao Lan’s suggestive behavior, he naturally didn’t need to hold back any longer.

Without further ado, he turned from passive to active, sweeping her up into his embrace.

“Mm…”

Ao Lan let out a soft murmur of consent, her heart brimming with joy. She had succeeded!

Emboldened, she became even more audacious. Seeing that Chen Daoxuan didn’t object, she even boldly tilted her head up and kissed him.

Feeling the enticing presence in his arms, Chen Daoxuan was already fully captivated. He held her and made his way toward the pile of precious treasures.

…

“My Lord…”

“Hiss…”

“Wait, My Lord, let me take a sip of spirit liquid.”

After a while, the temperature inside the cave had risen considerably.

Outside the cave, the few guarding kings became increasingly anxious upon hearing the sounds.

“They aren’t fighting, are they?”

“Could something have happened to Master Ao?”

“Well… It should be fine. The sounds don’t seem overly intense.”

After some analysis, the kings felt that it probably wasn’t too dangerous.

Regardless of the situation, they didn’t dare to intervene. They didn’t even dare to investigate. If they stirred the displeasure of that presence, the entire Illusory Void Mountain might be turned upside down.

…

A long time later, Li Yourong and the others had already caught a fair number of beasts. Two spirit beast pouches were now fully filled.

“Phew, Yourong is exhausted. But now that we’ve caught so many beasts, it’s enough to eat for a long, long time! Why has Master not returned yet? I hope nothing has happened.”

Li Yourong sat against a tree on the ground, looking at the two bulging spirit beast pouches with a satisfied smile.

“Uh, isn’t this question a bit redundant? Even if something happens, it would only be if something caused by Master.”

Upon hearing her junior sister’s words, Leng Yanran shook her head helplessly. Who in this world could cause something to happen to Master?

“Let’s wait here for Master to return. Don’t wander around.”

Seeing Li Yourong also exhausted, Leng Yanran sat down and began to meditate right on the spot.

Seeing this, Li Yourong couldn’t help but give her senior sister a thumbs up.

“No wonder you’re my senior sister. You never forget to cultivate, no matter where you are…”

However, while senior sister cultivated and Yu Youwei rested, Li Yourong grew a little bored. So, she looked at the small vermilion bird perched on her senior sister’s shoulder, took out a piece of spiritual rice, and started to play with the bird.
