Chapter 520: Chapter 519: Watch me confess for you! _1

The Washing Lady was unwilling to fight against Lu Yang and his companions, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t fight them!

They thought they could defeat her as if she were made of mud!?

A scroll hung in mid-air, and water continuously poured out from it, as if a waterfall was cascading, filling the entire secret chamber.

Seeing this, Lu Yang grabbed Mr. Song by the collar and ran out. While Lu Yang’s cultivation level meant he would be fine, Mr. Song was an ordinary mortal and could be drowned within a minute if he remained in the secret chamber.

The group barely made it back to the surface when there was a loud bang, the small house built over the secret chamber was demolished, and the water from the scroll surged out like a fountain. The Washing Lady stood atop the water, looking down at Lu Yang from above.

Without intending to, Lu Yang tasted a few drops of water and seemed to have discovered something shocking.

...

“This is…freshwater!”

Tao Yaoye: “?”

Lan Ting: “?”

What was Senior Brother Lu Yang talking about?

Why does it matter if it’s salty or freshwater? Isn’t it normal for it to be freshwater?

Feeling the gazes of his two junior sisters, Lu Yang cleared his throat, acting as if nothing unusual had happened.

From his experience in Hanshui City dealing with water ghost, Lu Yang had developed a habit of determining whether the water used by his enemies was freshwater or saltwater.

The Washing Lady flicked her sleeve, and the spring under her feet divided into three streams, forming three water pythons, which raced towards the three of them.

Fearlessly, Lu Yang drew the Green Peak Sword, and powerful Sword Qi shot up into the sky. He struck at the water pythons, initially capable of dividing and multiplying. However, his sword contained countless mini Sword Qi that continuously pierced the water droplets, not giving a chance for new water pythons to form.

Tao Yaoye opened the Thousand Illusion Umbrella, the red umbrella-face served like a shield. The water python that slammed into it instantly dissipated.

The sash tied around Lan Ting’s waist danced and extended longer, binding the water python aimed at her. The water python squirmed on the ground, shaking the earth as it attempted to break free from the sash’s hold.

“Well, it seems I may have underestimated you!” The Washing Lady was secretly astonished. Her surprise attack, which could trouble even an ordinary Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, was surprisingly blocked by these three youngsters.

“Disperse!”

At her command, the three water pythons fell apart like melting snow in winter, scattering all around, then reformed into a waterfall that was several meters high.

The waterfall came plunging down, engulfing all three.

“Reel in!”

As the Washing Lady shouted out, Lu Yang, his companions, the water, and even she herself disappeared, leaving only the stunned Mr. Song and the fallen scroll.

“Is this inside the painting?” Lu Yang lowered his eyes to his hands. His hands were stripped of their skin, flesh, and blood; in black and white, they looked lifelike.

He had become a figure in a painting, with his entire body formed of ink wash.

“I haven’t seen Junior Sister Tao and Lan Ting. Were we separated? That Washing Lady is craftier than I thought.”

He had seen this spell used before. Back when his senior sisters and brothers were taking turns beating him, one of the senior sisters who was skilled in art had used it.

Breaking this spell was simple enough – defeating the spellcaster would allow him to return to his own state.

Of course, if the spellcaster defeated Lu Yang, he would also return to his own state. No need to explain how he knew this.

…

“Am I inside the painting?”

Lan Ting observed her surroundings and quickly made her judgement.

The Washing Lady appeared out of nowhere, putting Lan Ting on alert.

The Washing Lady raised her hand, signaling Lan Ting to hold back. “Don’t attack, I have no ill intentions.”

“Little girl, is there anything you wish for? I can make it come true, the price is your sparing my life.”

From their previous exchange, the Washing Lady had concluded that she couldn’t defeat all three at once and decided to pick them off one by one.

The wish and its price were rules laid by the person who created the scroll. Even the Washing Lady was bound by these rules.

If she couldn’t fulfill the promised wish, she would be punished. Conversely, if she could fulfill the wish, her combat power would increase.

“Any wish is possible?” Lan Ting kept a wary eye on her.

“Just speak your mind, as long as it’s within my power.”

Lan Ting slowly uttered, her cheeks slightly reddening. “For instance, confessing my feelings to Senior Brother Lu Yang, and having him accept them?”

The Washing Lady looked Lan Ting over. She was pretty and had a good figure. Men would be attracted to women like her.

“That’s an easy task.”

The Washing Lady transformed into the likeness of Lan Ting. “Watch me confess for you!”

A similar scene also happened with Tao Yaoye. The Washing Lady was utterly confused, not understanding the appeal that this male cultivator seemed to hold for these two beautiful women.

…

“Senior Brother Lu Yang, I have finally found you.”

The Washing Lady split into two, taking on the appearances of Lan Ting and Tao Yaoye. Acting startled and terrified, she ran towards Lu Yang.

The two women pounced on Lu Yang, causing him to panic.

He had never experienced such a situation before.

“Tao Yaoye”, with teary eyes and a blush coloring her cheeks, looked at Lu Yang invitingly. “Senior Brother Lu Yang, I’ve always…”

“Lan Ting” quickly interjected, “Actually, I too…”

Lu Yang raised his hand, interrupting the two. “My dear junior sisters, don’t you think I understand your feelings? But we are siblings in the sect, it’s not appropriate to do things that breach moral principles. How would others perceive us?”

“Tao Yaoye”, with determination in her eyes, said, “Senior Brother, I do not fear the judgments of others!”

Lan Ting echoed, “Exactly, Senior Brother, we live for ourselves, not for others’ opinions. Can the judgment of others determine everything?”

Lu Yang was increasingly troubled. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was off. “But I lack cultivation and experience, I’m afraid I’m not as perfect as you imagine.”

“That’s fine, Senior Brother, imperfections are okay.”

“Right, right, who is perfect?”

Lu Yang shook his head, “Even if I were to agree, would the Sixth Elder and Palace Master Luo agree to such absurd things?”

“They would agree!”

Lu Yang thought he had been tactful enough. Seeing his junior sisters’ determination, he had no choice but to say, “But both of you have Immortal bodies, and I have a Sword Spirit Root, I know nothing about Immortal bodies. Even if you were to take me as your master, I wouldn’t be able to teach you anything.”

“Apprentice to you?”

“Yes, weren’t you both impressed by my performance in the finals, becoming the top cultivator in the mid-stage of the Golden Core, and wish to become my disciples?”

As someone who had lived for two generations, Lu Yang, who had no experience in romantic relationships, couldn’t fully understand the behavior of women. The Invincible Elixir couldn’t help in these matters either.

However, he had the aid of Fairy Eternity, who had mentioned early on when she woke up that as a woman, she understood women the best and could help him win over any girls he liked.

The Washing Lady: “…”

The confession failed. Since the wish couldn’t be fulfilled, the Washing Lady’s aura faded, and she could no longer maintain the scroll, spitting the three of them out.

She looked at Lu Yang warily, “I really underestimated you. You figured out my rules!”

Lu Yang was clueless, not understanding what the Washing Lady was talking about.

And why did he suddenly appear outside? Wasn’t he supposed to defeat the spellcaster to get out?
