Chapter 468: then translation of chapter title

Mmm......

Fu Yue only felt her lips go soft, and her whole body stiffened as if struck by lightning.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, her pupils suddenly constricted, those autumn-water eyes widened round, and surging waves of shock and shame rose in their depths.

Crimson spread like a tide, as if spilled rouge, from her porcelain-white cheeks all the way to her slender neck, even her delicate collarbone taking on an enticing flush.

After about half a minute, Fu Yue finally seemed to react.

She wanted to push Lu Xun away, but in the end, she inexplicably closed her eyes.

But after a moment, she sensed something was off.

Lu Xun's hand began to become restless.

First he supported her willow‑slender waist, then followed her lovely curve downward, touching her pert, round buttocks, his fingertips sinking into the full, round cheeks.

Lu Xun...

As an unmarried young lady, Fu Yue couldn't withstand such stimulation.

She finally reacted, stepped back, and broke free of Lu Xun's embrace.

Teacher, I... I'm sorry...

Lu Xun suddenly sobered up.

Just now, he really couldn't control himself.

You've been a bit off lately.

Fu Yue strained to steady her emotions and said.

Mm!

Lu Xun nodded: "I took a pill that has some side effects; it can amplify my desires."

He made up an excuse.

No wonder.

Fu Yue realized.

Since that's the case, I don't blame you for what just happened.

She said, suppressing her embarrassment.

Thank you, teacher.

Lu Xun felt grateful.

It's fine; the important thing is, this vermilion fruit tree is at least several thousand years old—extremely rare—let's transplant it back.

Fu Yue changed the subject.

This is the wisest course, allowing both of them to distance themselves from what just happened.

All right.

Lu Xun nodded.

Then,

the two of them together began transplanting the vermilion fruit tree.

As if what had just happened hadn't occurred.

Transplanting this vermilion fruit tree is no easy feat.

With an age of several thousand years, even a slight mistake will cause the transplant to fail.

To transplant it, one must first use a specialized treasure to record its growing environment; then, after moving it back to Lan Xing, a similar environment can be recreated.

Then one must dig up all its root system—that is, excavate a large clump.

Something's off.

As they dug, Lu Xun discovered something was off.

This vermilion fruit tree doesn't seem to have grown here originally.

But rather... it looks like it was transplanted here by someone.

Otherwise, its root system would be more developed.

A vermilion fruit tree several thousand years old is priceless—who would transplant it here?

There's a problem!

Lu Xun quickly activated the Heavenly Dao Eye.

Upon activation, Lu Xun discovered the source of the problem.

In the surrounding space, at some point, it had become densely packed with vines.

Teacher, there's a trap—let's go!

Without a word, he stored the vermilion fruit tree, grabbed Fu Yue, and prepared to leave.

But it was already too late.

Boom—

The heavens and earth trembled violently.

Countless blood‑colored demonic vines burst forth.

These blood‑colored demonic vines had been spreading in the subspace earlier, so Lu Xun hadn't noticed them.

In fact, with Lu Xun's Dao of Space, if he had been more careful, he could have sensed some anomalies.

The problem was that just now, Lu Xun's Fu Yue had been battling a large number of astral aberrations, scattering his attention.

Afterward, under the influence of the demonic entity, he and Fu Yue shared a passionate kiss.

This caused Lu Xun to fail to notice those blood‑colored demonic vines.

Only then did it seal off the surrounding area completely.

Blood-colored demonic vines intertwined and coiled, weaving beneath the azure heavens a huge blood-red net that blocked the sky and sun, sealing off the entire space so tightly not even wind could pass.

The mucus oozing from the vines refracted an eerie red light, and the air was filled with a cloyingly sweet, nauseating stench.

"This time, let's see how you escape!"

Above the horizon, Chi Sha Yao Huang revealed his form, the corner of his lips curling into a cruel arc.

These past months, Chi Sha Yao Huang has not given up.

He has been pursuing Lu Xun all along.

He finally caught up to Lu Xun after entering this Spirit Realm.

After catching up, Chi Sha Yao Huang did not strike immediately; instead, he meticulously prepared a trap for Lu Xun.

That trap was set up using a vermilion fruit tree that had grown for several thousand years.

To prevent Lu Xun from escaping, Chi Sha Yao Huang laid vast amounts of demonic vines around the vermilion fruit tree.

These demonic vines are not ordinary demonic vines.

They are actually Chi Sha Yao Huang's true form.

Vine demons, among the demon race, are actually not particularly strong.

Chi Sha Yao Huang, however, is an exception.

His combat ability is formidable; once surrounded by his true form, one is completely trapped in his world, and even a Nine Realms expert would find it hard to break free in a short time.

Now,

Lu Xun has been completely sealed off by him.

He has fallen into the heavenly net and earthly trap laid by him.

It can be said that there is no way up to heaven nor down to earth.
