Shen Baishuang paced restlessly in Bailu Palace, ultimately retrieving the potent forbidden aphrodisiac Fairy Tears from the Goddess Palace treasure vault, plotting to drug both Xuanmu Taoist and her sister Shen Yiren to bind him to the sect through forced intimacy and marriage. She announced a private farewell banquet in three days, which Lu Changsheng promptly accepted. Shen Yiren questioned hosting it in the restricted Bailu Palace, but her sister brushed off concerns, claiming it would deepen his connection to the Goddess Palace.

Numerous factions know that the Goddess Palace possesses an Honorary Elder known as "Xuanmu Taoist."

He serves not only as a Third-rank Talisman Master but also commands a Fourth Rank Puppet.

In this scenario, countless powers would certainly send invitations his way, intending to weaken the Goddess Palace.

Should word spread about the Puppet Battle Array, the nine Third Rank Puppets, and the Quasi-Fourth Rank Spirit Pet, Shen Yiren even fears certain forces might dangle a Nascent Soul opportunity as bait.

"Second Sister, Xuanmu Elder’s Spirit Pet devoured the ghost pet of the Six Paths Demon Consort; this must attract the Six Paths Palace's notice. Wouldn't it be perilous for him to venture out?"

Shen Yiren gazed upon her sister, whose hair was arranged with elegant grace, her visage glowing and breathtakingly beautiful, and voiced her concern.

"Such things are difficult to predict."

Shen Baishuang lounged lazily on the jade couch, her form draped in opulent red robes that accentuated her seductive allure, particularly the tempting swells of her ample thighs, half-veiled by the skirt's flowing edge.

"Yet, for Xuanmu Elder, a Third Rank Divination Master, to venture forth abruptly, he probably detects a Nascent Soul-related chance."

"Regarding such fortunes, even we dare not meddle excessively."

Shen Baishuang let out a soft sigh.

For any cultivator, seizing a Nascent Soul breakthrough is a momentous pursuit, leaving the Goddess Palace no cause to pry deeply.

"Mm." Shen Yiren nodded lightly, fully comprehending the reasoning.

Noting her little sister's rare worry over Xuanmu Taoist, Shen Baishuang's lingering guilt eased considerably.

In truth, should her sister scorn, reject, or remain indifferent to Xuanmu Elder, she could never have justified her own involvement.

Though their sisterhood was unremarkable and distant, they remained blood kin, separated only by differing temperaments and outlooks.

"Xuanmu Elder bears immense luck, rising from a mere Clan Cultivator to his current stature—truly worthy of the title Child of Destiny."

"His looks, manner of speaking, and bearing are all outstanding; he poses no disservice to my sister."

"Furthermore, through this connection, he's tied to the Goddess Palace, so he'd never wrong my sister."

Gazing at her sister's poised and refined features, Shen Baishuang steadily shed more of her guilt.

....

"Elder Xuanmu."

The Bailu Palace steward spotted Lu Changsheng, striking and refined in his green robe, and hastened to greet him deferentially, ushering him into the hall.

This expansive palace exuded lavish splendor, richly decorated, its floors carpeted with a fine rug evoking the glow of a crimson dusk.

It was clear the Second Palace Master's tastes favored reds and sunset-inspired shades.

"Elder Xuanmu, you've come."

Within the hall, Shen Baishuang, mid-conversation with her sister Shen Yiren, beheld Lu Changsheng's timely arrival, her flawless and ravishingly lovely face unfurling a warm smile like a springtime peony, a stark shift from her habitual iciness.

"Daoist Xuanmu."

At her side, Shen Yiren also greeted Lu Changsheng softly.

Lacking the intoxicating sensuality and bountiful curves of her Second Sister Shen Baishuang, she radiated a distinct poise, serenity, and composure.

Her gentle smile especially revealed faint dimples on her cheeks, conjuring the image of a vibrant, innocent young lady untouched by overt charms.

"Greetings to Second Palace Master and Third Palace Master."

Lu Changsheng regarded the nearing sisters and offered a courteous bow.

Despite prior encounters,

the sight of the sisters together, resembling twin blooms, stirred a spark of awe in Lu Changsheng's eyes.

Indeed, their combined beauty wasn't simple addition but exponential magnificence.

This realization struck Lu Changsheng that he'd yet to witness the grand spectacle of all three Palace Masters united.

"Elder Xuanmu, no need for such ceremony; this is just an intimate gathering."

Shen Baishuang beamed elegantly, with refined poise directing Lu Changsheng to the banquet table already brimming with lavish fare.

As a seasoned Spirit Chef familiar with countless tastes, Lu Changsheng immediately discerned the dishes' superior caliber, prepared from Third Rank Demon King meats infused with premium Spiritual Medicine.

With Lu Changsheng and Shen Yiren settled in their seats, Shen Baishuang took a spot nearby, gracefully lifting her hand to pour wine for them.

The wine flowed uniquely, its scarlet essence releasing a potent aroma that swiftly enveloped the entire hall.

"Elder Xuanmu, this is [Red Flame Wine], crafted from a Third Rank Demon Pill and Nine Heavens Red Essence Qi. A single sip vastly boosts mana, helping shatter bottlenecks and solidify one's Cultivation Realm."

Smiling, Shen Baishuang spoke.

Fairy Tears possess an aphrodisiac property.

In order to keep Lu Changsheng and her sister Shen Yiren from growing wary right away and spotting anything wrong, Shen Baishuang deliberately picked this wine and added Fairy Tears to it.

That way, should Lu Changsheng and her sister detect something off, they’d think it came from the Red Flame Wine.

Once they understand the aphrodisiac effect doesn’t stem from the wine itself, it’ll already be far too late.

"Oh?"

Gazing at the flame-like rosy glow in his cup, Lu Changsheng smiled and said: "If that’s the case, I must savor it well."

He sipped it lightly.

Blazing heat washed over his tongue like raging flames, immediately making saliva flood his mouth.

Afterward, the scorching liquor poured into his belly like a tiny blaze, converting into waves of warmth that surged through his limbs.

Yet, Lu Changsheng’s brow furrowed faintly.

Being a Fourth-rank Body Cultivator, even with his Fourth Rank Qi-Blood Physique sealed, he stayed keenly aware of his body’s sensations.

While the wine absorbed inside him, he quickly noticed a subtle warmth stirring in his abdomen.
