Chapter 66: Chapter 64 Deceit Bone Bewilders the Heart, Twin Beauties Dazzle the Eyes

Clearly, after Wen Juncai, the "Shadowless Rat," was defeated by Wang Yuan, he didn’t slink away in defeat.

Instead, because he possessed the highly useful ability of the "Invisibility Technique," he was covertly recruited by Wang Yunhu, who had once saved his life.

During this time, he had always been lurking in Luoyang City, secretly collecting the hair of the descendants of the Yi King lineage and regularly sending them back to Wang Yunhu in Daling Village.

Zhou Jingyao was merely the bait, and the hair strands of the Yili King’s descendants were the fishing line.

As long as he sneaked into the bedroom and gathered hair from the pillow, equipped with the "Invisibility Technique," the "Shadowless Rat" was extremely efficient, and his task was gradually nearing its end.

Finally, he had some time to prepare to attend to his own personal matters.

Time for revenge for his brother!

Ever since he heard from Wang Yunhu that his family’s enemy, "Thief Cat" Cui Tong, had also become a practitioner of magic, he nearly went mad with rage.

Previously, Cui Tong had easily defeated him without even using magic, so if he were to use magic, how could he ever hope to avenge his brother’s death?

Unfortunately, no one had ever seen Cui Tong’s magic.

Therefore, every time the "Shadowless Rat" returned to Daling Village, he took every chance to secretly watch Cui Tong’s residence.

He wanted to figure out exactly what cards the "Thief Cat" was hiding.

Perhaps Taoist books and texts would be carried on his person, but even if one had received enlightenment through inscriptions, the practice and performance of magic still required various talismans and guides; it was impossible not to leave any clue behind.

Once he figured out the "Thief Cat’s" secrets, his death would be at hand.

Even then, he had already covertly entered twice, yet discovered nothing.

Until this time he came back again.

To his shock, he found that Cui Tong, the damn rogue, hadn’t died in the royal tomb at all; instead, he had hooked up with everyone’s dream woman, Peach Fairy, and was frequently seen with her day and night.

He couldn’t help but feel hatred mixed with envy.

Once Lady Peach Fairy left, he could no longer restrain himself and leaped into the courtyard.

He slipped into Cui Tong’s bedroom, a route he knew well.

Before he could search thoroughly as he had in the past, his gaze fell upon an exquisitely made pouch on the bed at first glance.

It was clearly the handiwork of a highly skilled woman.

Picking it up for a closer look, apart from the pattern of mandarin ducks and lotuses, he saw an embroidered poem:

"A gust of wind and rain at dusk washes away the scorching light. After arranging the flute and pipes, I face the faintly made-up reflection in the mirror.

The thin and translucent robe covers my ice-like skin, snowy and fragrant. Teasingly I say to you, Tan Lang: The bamboo mat and gauze curtains are extra cool tonight, why not hasten to bed?"

A scene uncontrollably surfaced in Wen Juncai’s mind.

The incomparably beautiful Peach Fairy bathing in fragrant water, applying light makeup in front of the mirror.

Donning a sheer and translucent gown, her snowy white skin barely concealed, exuding a faint aroma.

Teasingly saying to that Cui Tong: Tonight’s mat is exceptionally cool, my lord, won’t you hasten to bed?

"Adulterous couple! Had you just obediently died that day, all this should have been mine!"

The "Shadowless Rat," trembling with jealousy, almost lost his composure. Even the "Invisibility Technique" began to flicker, revealing his jealous, bloodshot eyes.

After a while, he managed to calm his trembling hands and opened the pouch.

"What is this...?"

At first glance, it seemed to be a golden bone, but after blinking and looking again, it turned into a golden talisman engraved with messy spells.

It shimmered with a treasure-like glow, obviously no ordinary item.

"The Rashamon Bone" is not madness-inducing for practitioners of magic, but they consider it to be a kind of precious artifact, never willing to part with it for a moment.

At first, "Rashamon Bone" can even help the holder to stimulate their fortune (causing Qi Fortune to rapidly emerge), with an upper limit of three points, but it doesn’t take long for the same to be exhausted.]

It was as if a chant was murmuring in Wen Juncai’s ear, yet it was like scrambled mutterings that he couldn’t quite make out.

After a few breaths.

Only a seductive voice penetrated his ears, echoing incessantly in his heart:

"In your hands, all will go well! All will go well!..."

Wen Juncai gazed upon it as if he saw the treasure he most desired deep in his heart, with his eyes gradually becoming intoxicated:

"Such a treasure, such a treasure, it is mine now, I won’t give it to anyone!"

The "Deceitful Heart" made this magician completely overlook all the risks associated with this "treasure."

He also utterly forgot about the strange phenomena he first noticed, and even the original purpose of sneaking into Wang Yuan’s residence.

He quickly pocketed the "Golden Talisman" and hurriedly climbed over the wall to leave.

However, the moment his feet touched the ground on the other side, he felt something odd beneath his feet.

Lifting his foot, he found a piece of broken silver on the ground.

It was unknown who had dropped it there, but he had just picked it up.

At this moment, his Qi Fortune had been gradually stimulated.

"What a treasure, that dog thief Cui Tong must have relied on this to have smooth sailing. Now that it has fallen into my hands, it’s time for your luck to run out! Hahaha..."

He completely failed to notice,

that not far in front of him, a villager from Daling Village suddenly tripped over a stone, taking a heavy fall to the ground, which left his head bloodied and bruised.

Meanwhile, on the courtyard wall, three or five sparrows cocked their heads, watching the scene unfold before them. Only after he left did they flutter their wings and scatter in all directions, chirping away.

...

The sun set in the west.

Green tiles, red windows, white gauze curtains.

In the small courtyard of Lady Peach Fairy, the tipsy breeze, mixed with the fragrance of flowers, vied to rush into the boudoir with its fragrant wooden floor.

It seemed like even the gentle breeze was attracted to the two stunning beauties inside, repeatedly fluttering the sheer garments on their bodies, lingering on without leaving for a long time.

"Lady Immortal, how is it?"

One "Lady Peach Fairy" was dressed in a Hezi skirt that blazed like fire, draped with a thin, water-green gauze coat with large sleeves.

She knelt in front of a bright copper mirror, seated on the bamboo-matted floor.

Peach branches with clustered blossoms, one after another, bloomed on the light and thin fabric, exceptionally graceful and filled with an ethereal aura.

Underneath the mist-like gauze, the beauty’s skin was as pale as snow, pure and lustrous like white jade. Only on the smooth shoulder bloomed a strikingly red peach blossom tattoo, so vivid it seemed alive.

One might believe that in the blink of an eye, the blossom could produce a juicy, glistening peach.

The other Lady Peach Fairy, identical in dress and demeanor, was busy applying makeup to her, carefully affixing a peach petal forecloth to her pale forehead, identical to her own.

Last, she used her little finger to carefully apply a luscious lip rouge to her lips.

The already extremely beautiful woman instantly became even more dazzling and alluring, vivid and fragrant with life.

Upon witnessing such a sight, the Lady Peach Fairy behind her subconsciously rested her fair chin on the "Lady Peach Fairy" in front of her shoulder.

Their faces, whether in appearance or grace, were indistinguishable, pressing close to each other.

For a moment, they seemed like twin blooms from a fairy tale, unparalleled and impossible to tell apart—who was Lady Peach Fairy and who was Wang Xiaoyuan.

"Perfect, just perfect," muttered Lady Peach Fairy, opening her arms to embrace Wang Yuan from behind, her enchanting face full of an obsession similar to that of a Shadowless Rat upon seeing the Rashamon Bone.

This female sorcerer, throughout her years of cultivation, had enchanted countless men, yet not even her talented Senior Brother had moved her heart.

Now, beholding the perfect copy of "herself," she was suddenly and thoroughly infatuated.

Her bright red lips couldn’t help but press a kiss onto those of the copy.

To be so mesmerized by one’s own replica, the word "narcissism" seemed tailor-made for Lady Peach Fairy.

"Mmm."

After an initial shock, Wang Yuan struck back without holding back.

During the time they had spent together, he had noticed that no one had ever benefited from Lady Peach Fairy to this extent—and he was probably the first.

This was a win!

After quite some time, Lady Peach Fairy released Wang Yuan with a blush on her face,

tidying their disheveled hairpins and clothing back to their original stunning beauty.

"Alright, Brother Cui, let’s begin," she said.

As she spoke, Lady Peach Fairy took out a square wooden box from the cupboard, sealed with Talismans.

Inside was the Ganoderma clone belonging to Master Ge.

Ever since the last disruption of the Righteous Wealth tomb’s communication, Master Ge had requested that Lady Peach Fairy report back every three days.

The second challenge that Wang Yuan faced after deceiving the bandits was to fool this sensory-limited Ganoderma clone and meanwhile probe for intelligence from Master Ge.

If he could get through this, the task of impersonating Lady Peach Fairy in her place would be considered preliminary work completed.

When Master Ge arrived, he would pose as Lady Peach Fairy to steal the Lifebound Talisman and the letters from Ge Daoxuan and Sun Daoqian right from under him.

Chirp chirp chatter...

Wang Yuan listened to the chirping of the sparrows in the courtyard for a while.

He then saw the Qi Fortune on the "Small Book of Life and Death" suddenly jump, temporarily growing from the "Sky Light" of "-3" to the "White Smoke Surrounding the Beam" of "-2".

Turning around to see the apprehensive Lady Peach Fairy, Wang Yuan patted her jade hand, confidently saying:

"Don’t worry, Lady Immortal, today’s probe will surely be smooth."

After obtaining clues about the Heavenly Department Dao Skill, he was now even more eager than Lady Peach Fairy.

Besides, he had already worn the dress...

The higher the irreversible "sunk cost," the less Wang Yuan could afford to abandon the undertaking halfway.
