Chapter 111: Indulging the Enchantress

A delicate fragrance filled the air, and as Chu Yocai inhaled it, he felt as if his spirit were being purified, his mind refreshed and clear.

“This must be a celestial realm,” he thought.

“A place like this is perfect for cultivating demon arts!”

“Even if the locust demon’s power is halved, it still possesses demon arts of over twenty years, something beyond my ability to resist.”

“The urgent task is to find a secluded paradise, a place thick with demonic aura, to cultivate diligently and break through to ten years of demon arts as soon as possible.”

After observing for a while, Chu Yocai noticed that the demonic energy was densest halfway up the mountain. He carefully made his way there.

Entering this world for the first time required caution.

Reaching the mid-mountain area, he saw a roaring waterfall in the distance. Within its cascade seemed to flow a translucent power, the air thick with demonic energy, bathed in sunlight and moonlight—exactly the paradise he sought.

Just as he prepared to move forward, a startled cry came from nearby.

It was a woman’s cry, her voice hauntingly enchanting.

Startled, Chu Yocai concealed himself in a crevice among the rocks and peered toward the source.

In the distance, he saw a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist crown, pressing down on a strikingly beautiful woman. The priest was drawing a knife, preparing to carve out her heart.

The woman begged desperately, her voice filled with despair.

Suddenly, her eyes darted and locked onto Chu Yocai’s hiding spot. She cried out loudly, “Young sir, please save me!”

The priest retracted his hand, his gaze sharp as lightning, fixed intently on Chu Yocai.

Feeling the clarity of the priest’s stare, Chu Yocai slowly stepped forward.

The woman’s pleas grew more desperate, her tone pitifully sorrowful. “Sir, if you save my life, I will serve you as beast or horse, obeying your every command. This Taoist is a murderer, a villain guilty of every evil—please, you must save me!”

Chu Yocai’s eyes flashed like lightning, piercing the priest’s face with a fierce intensity. Since mastering demon arts, his aura had transformed; countless battles in hell had sharpened his killing intent to an even greater degree.

That single glance was like the eye of a divine dragon, penetrating all defenses, causing the priest’s heart to falter.

The priest shouted, “Young sir, do not heed this demoness’s lies!”

At his words, his grip loosened slightly. The woman growled lowly and broke free, transforming into a blaze of fire that flashed away with astonishing speed, covering nearly ten meters in a breath.

From afar came her mocking laughter, filled with supreme satisfaction.

The priest stamped his foot and cried out angrily, “You have ruined my great plan! She is a demon enchantress who has seduced and killed over a hundred men. I came to slay her to rid the world of her poison. Though beheading her only sends her spirit fleeing, only by extracting her heart can she be truly destroyed! If you continue to indulge her, who knows how manyI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
