A middle-aged man in a long robe slowly walked over.
"Hmph, what do you mean swindling? I didn't ask them to bet!" Tang Hai pouted and said.
The middle-aged man forced a smile and said, "You spread the news that Xin Yuan broke through to the Spirit River realm, and then you disseminated all sorts of inflammatory words. Isn't that swindling?"
Tang Hai took out a pot of wine from his spatial ring and took a gentle sip.
"Sect Master, I'm educating these disciples, teaching them to discern right from wrong. Otherwise, when they leave the Demonic Sect in the future, they won't even know how they were deceived. With this painful lesson, they'll be even more outstanding!" Tang Hai said with a smile.
It turned out that the middle-aged man was the Sect Master of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, Li Yuanxiao.
Li Yuanxiao shook his head and continued, "After your little stunt, Xin Yuan probably won't be able to continue being the Saint Son!"
"Young people need to experience setbacks to grow. Haven't you noticed that Xin Yuan has grown a lot?" Tang Hai continued earnestly.
"If Xin Yuan were swapped with your daughter, what would you do?" Li Yuanxiao took a deep breath and asked.
A very rich fragrance emanated from the wine in Tang Hai's pot.
"What a question! Of course, I'd hang Li Xin Yuan up and beat him for three days and three nights!" Tang Hai snorted coldly.
Li Yuanxiao's mouth twitched. As expected of Tang Hai, he truly had his ways, his double standards were something else.
"Sect Master, you're not going to find me for such a trivial matter, are you?" Tang Hai took another sip of wine and said slowly.
Li Yuanxiao looked at the distant scene of Lingyuan Peak and said slowly, "According to our scouts, the White Bone Yin Sect has been restless lately, and they seem to have designs on us. Elder Tang, what do you think we should do!"
The disciples in the distance were still cursing loudly, the scene was incredibly heated.
Tang Hai grinned and said, "Are you the Sect Master or am I? This isn't something I should be worried about!"
Li Yuanxiao sighed softly. "If Senior Brother Shen were still here, the entire Ten Thousand Demon Mountain would be under our control!"
Tang Hai pouted. Now he's thinking of the good old days. It wasn't like this back then.
"Although our Yellow Springs Demonic Sect has declined, it's not something these insignificant pests can tamper with. If they dare to come, we'll chop off their dog paws!" Tang Hai said indifferently.
Although Tang Hai's tone was calm, it carried a unique domineering aura.
"With Elder Tang's words, I am relieved..." Li Yuanxiao smiled and continued.
...
On Lingyuan Peak.
The people from Saint Son Peak, with ashen faces, carried Li Xin Yuan away from Lingyuan Peak in disgrace.
The surrounding disciples glared at them with hatred.
If he weren't the Saint Son, these people would have likely skinned and dismembered him long ago.
Jiang Li received his winnings and left with Tang Siqi.
Jiang Li had basically noted down the opportunities for these disciples.
Especially the one with the exotic flame, Jiang Li planned to go and get it right away.
...
Inside the palace on Saintess Peak.
"Master, did I perform well?" Tang Siqi asked Jiang Li with a smile.
Jiang Li nodded, she had indeed done very well.
Jiang Li had seen the strength of that Li Xin Yuan. He was a cultivator in the Spirit River realm with astonishing power.
But he was still easily suppressed and quickly defeated by Tang Siqi.
At this moment, Tang Siqi had changed into a purple long dress, her skin at the collarbone was fair and tender.
Her stunningly beautiful face exuded a charming aura.
Coupled with the subtle flirtatiousness in her eyes, it made one unable to resist.
Jiang Li's gaze drifted to her collarbone. Her proud curves and fair skin caught his eye, making it incredibly captivating.
Could this "Spirit Control Art" also have the effect of altering someone's will?
Jiang Li thought to himself. Tang Siqi was clearly such an aloof person, especially when facing other disciples, her icy gaze could almost freeze one's soul.
But when she was in front of him, she was as alluring as a... He couldn't find the right word.
This contrast made Jiang Li, an experienced veteran from his previous life... feel like he couldn't handle it.
If it were someone else, they would have long since transformed into... It was only because he had a strong will that he could resist.
This Tang Siqi was too tempting, constantly stirring his heart. Although he didn't dislike it, he was frustrated that he could only look and not touch.
"Siqi, do you think there's anything wrong with this 'Spirit Control Art'?" Jiang Li asked.
He had to figure out the effects of this "Spirit Control Art".
Otherwise, if she were to control a man in the future, and that man were to also... feel that way towards him.
Thinking about it, Jiang Li felt a chill. It was too terrifying. This was not something he, at his age, should have to bear.
Tang Siqi's expression faltered, then she said with a hint of grievance, "Master, do you not like me like this?"
Jiang Li shook his head, then explained his concerns to Tang Siqi.
"Master, I don't think there's a problem. I just feel more comfortable interacting with you this way. If Master doesn't like it, I can change!" Tang Siqi continued.
Immediately after, the charm in Tang Siqi's expression completely vanished.
She seemed to have transformed back into that cold and frosty goddess, sacred and inviolable.
"Junior Brother Jiang, are you satisfied with this?" Tang Siqi's expression was solemn, staring directly at Jiang Li.
Her eyes were full of coldness, coupled with her stunningly beautiful face, she was the perfect ice queen goddess.
Jiang Li was stunned. The shift in style was too rapid.
However, this Tang Siqi looked... also had a unique charm.
One was alluring, the other was cold and beautiful. It was like getting two for the price of one?
Forget it, as long as the "Spirit Control Art" was fine... Jiang Li thought to himself.
Then, Tang Siqi lifted Jiang Li's chin, looking at him with icy eyes.
"Junior Brother Jiang, do you like it?" Tang Siqi's cherry lips parted, and she spoke softly.
Her cold and elegant aura was fully displayed.
"Hiss... Yes, I like it all!" Jiang Li took a deep breath, then pulled Tang Siqi onto the nearby bed, their faces less than 2 centimeters apart.
Jiang Li could even feel Tang Siqi's faint breath, like a secluded orchid, refreshing his heart.
"Master... please cherish Siqi...?" Tang Siqi's expression shifted back to that alluring look, feigning shyness as she spoke.
A flicker of heat rose in Jiang Li's heart, then he gently tasted the tempting softness.
Everything was unspoken.
...
Inside the palace on Saintess Peak.
"From now on, Junior Brother Jiang's words are my words. Remember this!" Tang Siqi sat at the head of the palace, saying coldly to the many disciples kneeling below.
"Yes, your subordinate understands!" The disciples below responded in unison.
Beside Tang Siqi, Jiang Li looked at the cold and frosty Tang Siqi before him, and his mind couldn't help but recall the wild and passionate encounter they had in the room just now.
This seductive woman was truly something...
Although her techniques were still a bit clumsy, her bewitching figure and appearance, along with her constant shifts between alluring and cold, made one unable to resist...
