Shen Baishuang revealed her clash with the Six Paths Demon Consort, Si Guihua, near Black Reef Island while hunting the Kunpeng Egg, leaving her injured but not gravely. The sisters suspected the Six Paths Palace's hand in recent Star Pirate assaults as a scheme against the Goddess Palace. With the egg's location narrowing to Black Reef Island, Shen Jianjia tasked her sister with monitoring the enigmatic guest elder, Xuanmu Taoist.

"Xuanmu Taoist?"

Shen Baishuang's stunning eyes flickered subtly, silently questioning the problem with this individual.

"This man arrived in the Starry Sky Sea three years prior, accidentally rescued Yuning, and afterward, at my little sister's invitation, took the role of Honorary Elder in our Goddess Palace... Yet recently, amid the Star Sea Thief's raid, he unveiled a Fourth Rank Puppet..."

Shen Jianjia gracefully reclined against the soft-padded wooden chair, lifting the finely curved teapot handle to pour herself a cup of Spiritual Tea.

From under her skirt's layers, her lithe long legs crossed instinctively, displaying a pair of refined elegant slim high-heeled Crystal Shoes, sacred in their beauty and irresistibly tempting.

"Third Rank Spiritual Pet, Fourth Rank Puppet, plus a Third Rank Superior Grade Talisman Master, Third Rank Divination Master?"

Listening to her sister's account, a flicker of astonishment and puzzlement emerged in Shen Baishuang's exquisite watery eyes.

Indeed, for any ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator, even one such prowess would distinguish them from the crowd.

However, this obscure Nascent Soul Cultivator, posing as a Clan Cultivator with so many talents, seemed utterly implausible—anyone would suspect foul play.

Especially lately, hidden currents from rumors of the Kunpeng Secret Realm and the Kunpeng Egg's appearance have rocked the Starry Sky Sea.

"Sister, no need to fret, I'll investigate this person soon."

Centuries of companionship gave the sisters perfect mutual insight, so Shen Baishuang understood without Shen Jianjia elaborating.

After her words, she farewelled her sister, intent on returning to mend her wounds.

Though her sister urged vigilance in probing Xuanmu Taoist.

The Kunpeng Egg affair demanded utmost priority now!

Swift recovery was essential, along with conditioning her body, before dashing to Black Reef Island at once.

"Very well."

Shen Jianjia responded softly, lightly waving her sleeve to offer a Jade Vial to her sister, gesturing for proper rest.

"Thank you, sister."

Shen Baishuang accepted gracefully, a bewitching smile lighting her pale face, seductive and enchanting, as she grasped the Jade Vial. Her silhouette morphed into a radiant crimson flash, reappearing instantly in her Cave Mansion.

"Palace Master, you've returned."

Bailu Palace's steward witnessed the red-gowned Goddess Fairy alight from the heavens and promptly bowed deeply, attending with utmost care.

"Xiaobai, gather thorough details on Xuanmu Taoist for me—the more complete, the better."

Shen Baishuang paid her no further heed, proceeding directly into her lavish, ornately adorned bedchamber.

With a resounding bang, the palace doors sealed shut, her mutton-fat jade-like legs casting off the splendid red Embroidered Shoes,

exposing two dainty, flawless, supple adorable jade feet, toes plump and sleek like warm scented jade.

Shen Baishuang's plump soft rounded hips sank fully onto the cloud bed, her pillar-like beautiful legs crossing with poise as she uncorked her sister Shen Jianjia's Jade Vial and gulped its contents down.

In the next instant, rosy hue surged across her wan weary cheeks. Lazy bliss and alluring seduction danced in her brows and eyes, as she circulated her Cultivation Technique to assimilate the body's Spiritual Liquid.

...

On that day, Shen Yiren set foot on Rongyue Island.

"Salutations to the Third Palace Master!"

Song Yudie beheld the green-skirted beauty with brushstroke brows, refined aura untouched by dust, and bowed hastily, filled with reverence and trepidation.

Not only for her rank as Third Palace Master, but for that pure noble harmonious visage and bearing.

Like a country lass facing a celestial fairy from the heavens, struck with self-inferiority.

"Is Elder Xuanmu here?"

Shen Yiren upheld her dignified poise, her voice mild and welcoming like a winding hill stream, delightful to hear without artifice, akin to a gentle spring breeze bringing comfort and ease.

"Elder Xuanmu remains in secluded cultivation; please wait briefly, Third Palace Master, this disciple shall notify him at once."

Song Yudie refused to slacken before Shen Yiren.

Partly from her standing as Third Palace Master.

Partly from tracking recent gossip about her Elder and this Third Palace Master's entanglement.

Though rumor alone, prior sightings and inferences led her to believe her Elder favored the Third Palace Master now present.

Or even she, as a woman, nearly yearned to yield to the Third Palace Master's immortal grace.

But prior to Song Yudie's report, Lu Changsheng—feigning closed-door cultivation—detected Shen Yiren’s Qi Mechanism and exited the manor to receive her.

"I puzzled over my unusual cheer today; it seems the Third Palace Master graces us."

Lu Changsheng beamed warmly, his eyes holding a spark of pleasure.

From their prior joint battle, Lu Changsheng sensed closer ties, so he met Shen Yiren more freely, less guarded, utterly relaxed.

"When did Taoist Xuanmu grow so glib?"

A faint blush colored Shen Yiren's delicate snow-white face as she teased, her form overflowing with infinite charm, brilliant and entrancing.

"This way, please, Third Palace Master."

Lu Changsheng's gaze glowed affectionately, lips arching in a refined scholarly smile as he beckoned her inside.

Song Yudie watched aside, the pair like a divine duo stirring bittersweet envy in her heart.

Instinctively, she deemed them a flawless pair.

...

"Elder Xuanmu, on those earlier affairs, the palace has issued fitting contributions as recompense, and I've dealt with the resources and Magical Treasures you bestowed. See if aught else is needed."

Though Shen Yiren held Lu Changsheng in high regard and conversed easily with him, her visits bore purpose beyond idle talk.

Thus, each came with intent.

This time, to settle the spoils from the Desert Sea Crocodile God battle following the Star Sea Thief clash.

"You've gone to trouble, Third Palace Master."
