Due to the spirit-gathering array inside the cave-dwelling, when someone walked in, they would feel rxed and their bodies would automatically absorb the spirit energy breath within.


    A simple stone table was set up inside the cave-dwelling. Moving further inside, the stone door to the inner room opened, and the temperature dropped significantly. The deepest part of the cave was as cold as an ice cer. Night pearls illuminated the walls, making the windowless cave bright as day.


    In a corner against an icy wall was a bed made of pure ice, emitting frosty air.As she entered the room, a chill travelled from the bottoms of her feet to her heart.


    "Master called Xuexin in. What are your orders?"


    Unease settled in her heart for some inexplicable reason. Why did he invite her here? Except for the ice bed, there was nothing in this room. The confined quarters made her anxious, and she wondered what he nned to do.


    "Don''t you wantXuanyuan Mo Ze? Don''t you wish to tear Feng Jiu to pieces? Are you confident that you have enough strength to defeat Feng Jiu right now?" With his hands sped behind his back, the Master of the ck Lotus turned around, his cold gaze settling on Yun Xuexin.


    "Right now, I have a way to enhance your strength. Moreover, I can also give you the ability to control the power of the ck Lotus. Do you want it?"


    His voice was gloomy and cold, and he drew closer to her as he spoke. A mysterious and unreadable dark gleam shed in his sinister eyes as he looked down condescendingly at Yun Xuexin standing in front of him.


    Yun Xuexin''s heart trembled and instinctively took a step back. For some reason, the sight of his master filled her with an inexplicable dread, especially the gleam in his eyes that made her desperately want to escape.


    Swallowing hard, she suppressed her fear and with a glimmer of hope, asked, "Master, what must Xuexin do to obtain the power of the ck lotus?" She had a feeling that if she tried to run now, she would be killed by him. No! The consequences must be worse than death!


    "Hehe, I will tell you," The Master of the ck Lotus smirked creepily, reaching out to touch her beautiful face.


    At that moment, Yun Xuexin felt as if she was being stared at by a venomous snake. Her face grew pale, she cried out as she backed away and looked at him vigntly.


    "Master, what... what are you trying to do?" Her voice trembled with disbelief.


    "Hehe, haven''t you already figured it out?" The Master of the ck Lotus remained still, his eyes narrowed and kept fixated on her. "Do you think obtaining the power of the ck Lotus, which even Feng Jiu fears, would be easy? How can you get it without paying its price?"


    Herst ray of hope was dashed when she heard this. Her eyes reddened as she gripped her clothing tightly. "No! Master, I... I can''t..."


    As a proud woman from a prestigious family, how could she bear losing her purity? Even more so by someone who had lived for hundreds of years and whom she feared very much...


    Tears rolled down her cheeks silently. She backed away slowly while pleading, "Master, please spare Xuexin. Xuexin, Xuexin is unwilling. Xuexin can help you find other women. Any type of woman you desire, Xuexin can capture them for you. Please spare Xuexin, please spare Xuexin, Master…"
