"Why?"

"If you leave, who will I find to save Little Gu?" Mu Hongyuan said.

What? Wang Mu wondered. Didn't you say you could save her yourself?

"The Nascent Soul self-destructed, leaving nothing behind. Although I managed to preserve her Divine Soul in time, it's now separated from her body and unconscious," Mu Hongyuan looked at her foolish disciple and sighed softly. "I'm currently afflicted by Emotion Poison. If I use my power to save her, even if she's brought back, she too will be afflicted by the Emotion Poison... The Emotion Poison in me is not something she can bear... Besides, her constitution is that of the Heavenly Charm Pure Body. Once infected with Emotion Poison, her constitution would suffer a severe backlash, and she would become someone who..."

Mu Hongyuan glared at Wang Mu, not finishing her sentence.

Sister Mu doesn't want to intervene because of the Emotion Poison, just like Bi You's curse and Mo Xilan's lifespan, Wang Mu thought.

"So what should we do?" Wang Mu asked. "I'm just a Nascent Soul Cultivator. How can I save someone at the Divinity Transformation realm? Besides, I don't even know how."

"Oh, so *now* you remember you're just a Nascent Soul?" Mu Hongyuan rolled her eyes at Wang Mu. "You don't need to do anything. You don't have Emotion Poison, and you've already achieved Yin Yang balance, so the Mixed Element Power within you is in a perfect state."

"I just shielded her Divine Soul with Mixed Element Divine Light, so it hasn't suffered much damage," Mu Hongyuan continued. "In the Great Yin Yang Record, there's a Yin Yang Treasure Skill called Yin Yang Seed Element. It uses Mixed Element Power to allow a soul to reincarnate in any physical body amidst Yin-Yang Convergence. It's like a profound spirit possession secret technique, but without any side effects."

What kind of Treasure Technique is this? So powerful? Wang Mu was amazed.

"This Treasure Technique is originally meant to be used on oneself when one needs to switch bodies," Mu Hongyuan explained. "Only those who have achieved Great Success in cultivating the Great Yin-Yang Harmony Diagram can use it. It's a backup Treasure Technique, a secret technique that allows one to quickly recover from a downfall, even if their soul was searched or only a wisp of their Divine Soul remained."

"Little Gu cultivates the Heartless Path, and there's no Mixed Element Power within her. She can't use it in her current state, so it must be done with an external force," Mu Hongyuan stated. "As an Ascending Immortal Cultivator, I can modify this Treasure Technique somewhat. It's feasible to apply it to others using an external force, but the process is relatively complicated. And as you know, my Mixed Element Power contains Emotion Poison. Using mine is definitely not an option."

"As for you, although you're a Nascent Soul, your Realm is still a bit too low. If you were at the Tribulation Crossing Realm, you might be able to use this technique to help others."

"So, the only way is for us to combine our efforts."

"This..." Wang Mu was puzzled. "How would we combine our efforts?"

"What do you think?" Mu Hongyuan gave Wang Mu a sultry look. "Of course, it means you and Little Gu must... couple. Then, I'll transfer my Mixed Element Power to you through external Dual Cultivation. You will then convert it and channel it into her. How about that?"

Wang Mu's heart skipped a beat. Don't mess around! What's this talk about 'coupling'? The woman is practically dead! And external Dual Cultivation... That's really a threesome...

"She's my disciple, you know. Getting intimate right in front of me, her Master... Exciting, isn't it?" Mu Hongyuan mused playfully.

"..." Wang Mu was speechless.

"Nonsense! I have no such thoughts," Wang Mu glared back at Mu Hongyuan. "Sister Mu, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"Do what...?"

Mu Hongyuan stood suspended in the void. Her bare feet were like flawless white jade, the Unrivaled Bell at her waist hung motionless, and her long dress flowed ethereally around her graceful figure.

She had her arms crossed over her chest, yet they were completely obscured, as if hidden by something.

"Brother Mu, tell your dear sister the truth..." Mu Hongyuan exhaled softly, her warm breath tickling Wang Mu's ear. "Have you ever fantasized about having both Master and disciple serve you together?"

"If you have, then this is the perfect chance for your sister to make that dream come true, hmm?"

"This offer won't last long."

Wang Mu's heart raced. This demoness! She's unbelievable!

"You hesitated. It seems you do harbor such thoughts," Mu Hongyuan said, squinting, her cheeks as radiant as peach blossoms. "This offer won't last, you know? Do you want it or not?"

"An opportunity of a lifetime, Brother Mu, such a divinely blissful experience..."

However, Wang Mu shook his head. "Sister Mu, look into my eyes. What do you see?"

In his eyes, only the reflection of Mu Hongyuan before him was visible.

"I see you and the Yan Sword Immortal making love in bed," Mu Hongyuan replied.

"..." Wang Mu was rendered speechless.

"I also see you and Mo Xilan getting cozy while practicing Alchemy in my Fengyue Sect. I saw that part most clearly... Your Fire Control Technique, Brother Mu, is truly impressive."

Ugh... did she really see everything when Mo Xilan and I were practicing Alchemy at the Fengyue Sect? Wang Mu thought. If that's the case, then when I practiced swordsmanship with Mu Hongyuan at the Sword Sect... Heroine Yan probably knew too, right? "Brother Mu, you must never practice swordsmanship with another woman..." Heroine Yan's words seemed to echo in his ears. So, she knew all along but just chose not to say anything.

"I also see you and that Bi You entangled in passion at Sealing God Mountain."

"..." Wang Mu was speechless again.

"Sadly, I just can't seem to find myself in there," Mu Hongyuan said, feigning great disappointment.

Wang Mu's face darkened. This Demoness Mu is truly difficult to deal with. Ploys and schemes are completely useless against her.

"Then that's correct," Wang Mu said.

"Oh?" Mu Hongyuan raised an eyebrow.

"If you can't see yourself in my eyes..." Wang Mu said, "it's because I hold Sister Mu in my heart."

"..." This time, it was Mu Hongyuan who was speechless.

Warmth spread across her cheeks, and she looked at Wang Mu with a teasing smile. "Not bad, Brother Mu. Your skills have certainly deepened compared to a thousand years ago. No wonder you even managed to charm the Yan Sword Immortal into your bed..."
