Stealing the Yuri Protagonist Harem - Chapter 105: What Do You Call This? "The Perfect Moment"?

Under the lake’s surface, Luo Wusheng quickly surveyed his current situation.

Beneath him was a raised sacrificial altar.

However, the altar looked extremely simple, made only of piled black stones, appearing somewhat empty. Apart from being covered in strange runes, there didn’t seem to be anything special about it.

The only thing that showed the peculiarity of the altar was the brilliant light forming a barrier around it, enveloping the altar within.

Outside the barrier was the surging lake water, which appeared hazy and displayed a shimmering rainbow hue under the reflection of the light.

Within the range of Luo Wusheng’s vision, the lakebed appeared deserted, with no living creatures in sight.

“So, this is the lake created by great divine power… It feels somewhat eerie…”

Luo Wusheng looked at the barrier surrounding the altar, his thoughts surging.

He looked up.

There were cracks all over the barrier, most likely caused by the destruction from the Nascent Soul-stage ape demon earlier.

Through these cracks, he could see three cultivators guarding within the lake water.

Judging from their appearance and body shape, Luo Wusheng immediately recognized them as Nascent Soul cultivators who had participated in the demon-hunting mission in Royal City before.

However, these Nascent Soul cultivators guarding outside the shattered barrier seemed completely unaware of the situation inside the formation. They remained on high alert, staring at the dark areas of the lake as if afraid that demons would sneak in through the weakened barrier.

(But I entered so easily… It seems that the Tower Master’s methods are truly remarkable.)

Luo Wusheng shifted his gaze away from the three Nascent Soul cultivators and looked higher up.

Even with his Gold Core-perfected vision, he still couldn’t see the situation on the lake’s surface clearly. He could only sense that the lake water was constantly surging, occasionally witnessing vibrant rainbow lights permeating the water with tremendous power.

The most intimidating scene was in the remote area. The ape demon occasionally stepped into the lake, and every time its giant furry legs touched the lakebed, it caused the ground to tremble and the water to roll.

However, the ape demon could only stay in the shallow area near the edge of the Ascending Immortal Lake and was unable to penetrate deeper due to the obstruction of the Immortal Nation cultivators.

“It seems like this demon doesn’t seem to be in a hurry…”

Observing the giant form of the ape demon as it occasionally stepped into the lake and then retreated after a few struggles, Luo Wusheng pondered thoughtfully.

He also had a few guesses in his mind.

To deceive the sight of two Nascent Soul cultivators and so many Nascent Soul-stage guards, logically speaking, it shouldn’t have been as easy as he had experienced it. Even the Tower Master, who was also at the Nascent Soul stage, should have faced difficulties.

If she had acted personally, it would be another matter, but to be able to bring him, a mere Gold Core cultivator, here without anyone noticing…

“It seems like she had already foreseen tonight’s events and made the necessary preparations… The art of divination is truly enviable.”

As he thought about it, the high-level technique of divination in the cultivation world made him yearn for it.

Sitting high above, calculating the future. Facing away from the mundane world, fishing alone through the eons.

The romantic and sentimental feelings in such a scene were exhilarating to imagine.

Unfortunately, he was just a coarse and crude man; it was unlikely he would ever have the opportunity to learn such an advanced skill.

His mind calmed down.

Since he hadn’t encountered any obstruction at all, he could now focus on his task.

“But to not even mention half of the plan and simply give a gift bag as if this was some kind of game… That really matches the original impression I had of the Tower Master…”

Unfortunately, his impression of her had now turned into that of a mischievous white-haired loli he couldn’t afford to provoke.

After a brief sigh, Luo Wusheng’s spiritual awareness entered the small storage pouch in his hand.

His heart felt slightly excited; he didn’t know what kind of formation-breaking method the Tower Master had left for him.

Based on the current situation, if his guess was correct, the Demon Empress was most likely suppressed beneath this black stone altar.

And this was the suppression formation created by the peak Nascent Soul cultivator of the former Immortal Emperor; it was certainly not something a mere Gold Core cultivator like him could easily break.

“Hmm?”

Just as he opened the storage pouch, intending to see its contents, Luo Wusheng suddenly frowned.

Something seemed off…

Before he could even glance at the contents of the pouch, he immediately shifted his attention away from it.

He noticed that his own storage pouch, which belonged to him, suddenly emitted a faint starlight.

Damn it!

In just an instant, he realized what was happening, as he had experienced this familiar scene earlier tonight.

The Human Emperor Sword… the Empress!

Seeing the jade stones related to the sun, moon, and stars within his storage pouch starting to stir, Luo Wusheng confirmed his suspicions.

Without a doubt, what was now activating the power of the sun, moon, and stars in the vicinity of the Ascending Immortal Lake was the third sword that the Empress should have wielded during the demon-hunting mission.

In other words, at this moment, the Empress was above the Ascending Immortal Lake, gathering the power of the sun, moon, and stars.

Luo Wusheng’s expression changed.

If the Empress found out about him secretly unsealing the Demon Empress at the bottom of the lake, his life in Royal City would probably come to an end, right?

What should he do? Should he immediately seal the storage pouch to stop the flow of the power of the sun, moon, and stars?

No, it was already too late.

The starlight had already dispersed, and even if it floated outside the barrier, it would attract the attention of the Nascent Soul-stage guards stationed at the cracks.

At this moment, a memory flashed through Luo Wusheng’s mind, just before he was brought to this place by the Tower Master.

He recalled the scene of the mischievous white-haired loli turning away from him and saying, “The perfect moment has arrived”…

(You call this the perfect moment? Are you kidding me??)

Was this perfect moment meant for him?

Luo Wusheng felt like he was about to swear.

If he weren’t well aware that Yue Xuanji could defeat him without even lifting a finger, he would want to grab that little white-haired girl and spank her arse.

If sending Gao Shi here the last time wasn’t enough, she had come to handle it herself this time, huh?

As he saw the starlight floating higher and higher, Luo Wusheng realized that he didn’t have time to hesitate any longer.

Since it had come to this, what else could he do? He had to give it a try.

With a firm resolve, he poured his spiritual power into the small storage pouch given to him by Yue Xuanji.

The items he hadn’t had a chance to see clearly flew out from the pouch and landed on the altar, emitting a bright light…

Boom!

At that moment, the altar collapsed, the barrier shattered, and a beam of light soared into the sky, completely covering up the dispersed starlight.

……

In the tranquil dense forest.

Yue Xuanji’s delicate jade foot lightly tapped on a branch as she gazed at the pillar of light illuminating the night sky. Her little head tilted slightly.

“What a pity…”

She said this with her mouth, but her eyes showed a rare hint of a smile.

“After tonight, maybe even I can only predict three parts of his celestial secrets…”

“Although I still want to see what other interesting things he has… Well, it’s not the right time yet. Let’s wait until next time.”

As her words fell, her figure disappeared without a trace.
