Rakish Little Immortal Doctor

Compared to Li Qianfan, who seemed to be at ease, Liu Ruyan was having a difficult time. Right now, she was panting heavily, drenched in sweat.

Just moments ago, she had nearly been discovered by the patrolling guards of the Ten Thousand Talisman Sect. Fortunately, her quick reaction saved her from disaster.

Once discovered here, the consequences would be dire—more misfortune than fortune was certain.

To be safe, she decided to wait until nightfall to make her move.

With the cover of darkness, the chances of being detected would be significantly reduced.

Her purpose for coming to the Ten Thousand Talisman Sect was simple: to steal a Spirit Stone containing the "Space" Element.

To successfully set up a transfer Formation, this Space Spirit Stone was indispensable, serving as the core of the Teleportation Array—known as the Black Pattern Stone.

Otherwise, she would not have taken such a risk, whether as a duty of a Cultivator from the administration bureau or for the sake of nearly five thousand students; she had to step forward.

Although Liu Ruyan had been an undercover agent in the Ten Thousand Talisman Sect before and could have entered openly using that identity,

this time, she needed to steal something, and drawing attention to herself would make the action even more challenging.

However, the Ten Thousand Talisman Sect was not just any ordinary organization but a Cultivation sect with a hundred years of history.

Relying solely on Liu Ruyan was too much of a long shot.

But without entering the tiger's den, how could one capture its cubs?

Thus, Liu Ruyan waited until night fell, and when the surrounding noise had diminished considerably, she finally took action.

The Ten Thousand Talisman Sect at night was not entirely quiet.

There were not only patrolling guards, but also many people moving around.

As Cultivators, their routines were not quite the same as ordinary people's.

Compared to daytime, the only difference was the added cover of night.

Liu Ruyan cast aside her distracting thoughts and focused entirely, slowly making her way inward along the edge.

As long as she didn't make any loud noises, there shouldn't be a problem. She had prepared beforehand, using special means to hide her Cultivator's aura, making it difficult for others to detect her.

But this did not decrease the difficulty of the mission. The Black Pattern Stone containing the Space Element was held by Ouyang Xiang, the Young Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Talisman Sect.

Being the Young Sect Master, he would certainly be surrounded by many people.

Liu Ruyan took a deep breath, intending to avoid fighting if at all possible. Once a fight began, she would surely face a perilous situation.

This was, after all, the enemy's lair—causing trouble here was no different from seeking death.

After searching for a long time, Liu Ruyan finally located Ouyang Xiang's residence.

Although she had done a lot of homework before coming, it was only during the execution that she realized how cruel reality could be.

Not to mention other issues, the Ten Thousand Talisman Sect was just too big, and the interior maps did not match up.

Liu Ruyan lightly pushed off with her feet and perched atop the two-meter-high wall, peering through the window to see the inside.

However, due to the presence of curtains, she could only see vague silhouettes and couldn't make out the details.

Liu Ruyan's face darkened, struggling to describe her current feelings.

From the shadows on the curtain, it was not difficult to perceive the intense 'battle' taking place inside.

A man was on top, with a woman beneath.

Both were still trembling slightly.

She wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but she faintly heard the sound of something being pulled out.

"Who would have thought that Ouyang Xiang, the Ten Thousand Talisman Sect's Young Sect Master, would have such a colorful nightlife,"

Liu Ruyan commented to herself. Given the current situation, making a move was impossible.

She had no choice but to wait even longer...

Time progressed to the late night.

Finally, there was no more noise in the room. Even with her nerves stretched to their limit, Liu Ruyan was almost falling asleep.

Waiting for what felt like an eternity, she finally witnessed this moment.

She had no idea whether Ouyang Xiang had taken some drug or was naturally this robust, but it seemed their endurance was uncanny.

So much so, that it appeared as if they were engaged in an epic battle.

Liu Ruyan wasted no time, deftly maneuvering her way inside.

With the aid of the moonlight from outside, she could see clearly enough.

What followed was an inevitable, painstaking search.

And she had to be mindful not to awaken Ouyang Xiu, making Liu Ruyan all the more cautious.

However, contrary to her wishes, just as she was rummaging through a drawer, the light suddenly flared on.

Liu Ruyan's pupils constricted, like a startled bird almost jumping to flight.

Around her, a group of Ten Thousand Talisman Sect disciples, seemingly in ambush for some time, emerged and surrounded her...

"Looking for this?"

Two rows of people parted, and a figure slowly approached—it was Ouyang Xiu.

In his hand, he held a Spirit Stone marked with black patterns—the very Black Pattern Stone Liu Ruyan was seeking.

"You..."

A shock went through Liu Ruyan's heart, like a boulder smashing into the calm sea, unleashing tumultuous waves.

How could he have known about her plan? Did he find out after she entered the Ten Thousand Talisman Sect, or did he know even before she arrived?

Liu Ruyan racked her brain but couldn't come to an understanding.

Before she could finish her sentence, she felt a blunt force at the back of her head, and her vision darkened as she passed out.

...

The next morning!

"Coming again? How many times now..."

Li Qianfan blinked innocently, facing a completely naked Lin Ran.

Indeed, she had worn him out that night.

While waiting for news from Liu Ruyan, there wasn't much else for them to do.

They wanted to set up a Teleportation Array, but without the Black Pattern Stone, they couldn't start. Upon Lin Ran's suggestion, they ended up playing cards again.

After all, what man could resist the seduction of such a beautiful woman? Moreover, Li Qianfan's card skills were also quite impressive.

Only after shuffling the deck twice did Li Qianfan realize something was amiss.

She was like some bewitched creature, invincible in battle!

Were it not for the fact that Li Qianfan knew he was the trailblazer of this path, he might have thought she was a seasoned campaigner.

Yet from her movements, one could tell she was still a bit unacquainted with the game—but her enthusiasm was undeniable!

Ever since Li Qianfan cured Lin Ran's frigidity, it seemed she had completely let herself go.

He even began to wonder if her frigidity was feigned.

Where was the coldness? He couldn't see it; instead, it was strangely hot, as scorching as lava!

"I've discovered for the first time how fun playing cards can be! I've sweated more than in my usual training."

Lin Ran, curious like a child, spoke while combing through her hair, looking very much like she couldn't get enough.

Li Qianfan was stunned.

Fun? Sweating more than in training? It was more than just sweating—it was pouring.

In that moment, he truly understood what it meant to be ravenous and insatiable!

Seeing Li Qianfan in a daze, Lin Ran rallied and kissed him again.

Faced with her forwardness, Li Qianfan went from happily accepting her at first to almost incoherently acquiescing now.

Everyone knew Lin Ran was a military person, notoriously competitive, even in this regard—she was very assertive.

During their first card game, she was shy and hence not too proactive.

But as familiarity bred confidence, she gradually sought to take the lead.

How could Li Qianfan tolerate such a challenge to his leadership?

With a bit of effort, he flipped over and pinned Lin Ran beneath him.

Lin Ran was both startled and delighted; she loved such strong men. Her arms encircled Li Qianfan's neck, occasionally gently caressing his cheek, teasingly so.
