Chapter 40: Enchantress Cao Ying: Senior Yun Seems Even More Terrifying Than My Master!

Holy Pill City.

In recent days, as the Pill Gathering drew near, the flow of people visibly increased.

The whole Holy Pill City grew increasingly lively.

Streets and alleys were crowded with people.

Strange alchemists from all over the continent could be seen everywhere.

They wore distinctive clothing and carried their own unique auras.

Of course, there were also many spectators who had come out of admiration.

Such a grand gathering was worth watching even for those who were not alchemists.

"So lively……"

Dan Chen and Yun Yun walked together, weaving through the bustling crowd.

Dan Chen's face was full of excitement now that he no longer had to worry about the Devouring Soul Physique, and he kept looking around at everything.

Yun Yun smiled faintly and quietly followed beside Dan Chen.

At this time she wore a pale blue long dress, her figure graceful and her bearing elegant, standing out exceptionally among the crowd.

The two were planning to visit the Alchemist Trading Fair.

Because there were too many people, Yun Yun and Dan Chen simply linked arms and walked close together.

"Sister Dan Chen, you……"

Not long after, at the Alchemist Trading Fair, a surprised woman's voice suddenly came from behind them.

The two turned to look and saw a woman in black walking toward them.

The woman had a slender figure, dressed in black, exuding a hint of cold arrogance.

Her skin was like snow, three thousand strands of black hair casually draped over her fragrant shoulders, her cheeks slightly thin but exceptionally exquisite.

Like porcelain, giving one a feeling of being unable to put her down.

In her narrow and slightly languid eyes, there was a hint of enchantment, charming and moving.

This woman in black was precisely the genius known as the Enchantress in Dan Tower, Cao Ying!

At this moment, every step Cao Ying took made the ornaments on her body emit a crisp sound, attracting the gaze of most men around.

In those men's eyes, some were full of affection, others were naked greed.

But without exception, all the men were deeply attracted by her beauty.

"You……"

Cao Ying walked closer, seeing Dan Chen and Yun Yun standing side by side, and her surprise grew even greater.

She was very clear about Dan Chen's special physique.

All along, Dan Chen had been cautious in dealing with people because of this physique.

But now, she actually saw Dan Chen linking arms with Yun Yun without any scruple.

Could it be that someone could actually be immune to her Devouring Soul Physique?!

"Hehe, Sister Cao Ying, I'm cured!"

"Now I don't have to worry about touching and absorbing soul power anymore!"

Dan Chen said with a smile, then suddenly reached out to touch the soft flesh at Cao Ying's waist!

Cao Ying hadn't reacted yet, her first thought was to dodge.

However, Dan Chen's little hand had already touched her.

"Eh?! Really eh!"

Only then did Cao Ying understand what Dan Chen had just said.

"What's going on?"

Cao Ying was very curious.

After all, this special physique of Dan Chen had troubled her for many years, to the point of making her personality become soft and timid.

"Hehe, it's the ring my Uncle Yun gave me!!"

Dan Chen proudly showed Cao Ying the ring on her hand, "With it, I can control the Devouring Soul Physique however I want!"

"Oh right, let me introduce you."

Dan Chen pulled Yun Yun's hand and introduced to Cao Ying, "This is my Uncle Yun's disciple, Sister Yun Yun!"

Hearing this, Cao Ying first politely greeted Yun Yun, then carefully examined Dan Chen's ring.

"There's actually such a rare treasure?"

"Yes, Uncle Yun has been very good to me." Dan Chen said with a proud face.

Cao Ying nodded slightly, then smiled and congratulated Dan Chen, "Then congratulations, Sister Dan Chen."

"No wonder there are more smiles on your face."

"Completely without that feeling from before."

"Hehe! Of course!"

Afterwards, the three strolled around the Alchemist Trading Fair, and after seeing nothing they wanted to buy, they returned together to the Dan family.

Actually, Cao Ying laughed and joked with Dan Chen and Yun Yun on the surface, but in reality their thoughts were different.

Even while strolling the trading fair together, she seemed to be admiring the various rare treasures on the stalls, but her gaze often fell on Dan Chen.

Although Dan Chen had never shown off for so many years, Cao Ying knew very well that Dan Chen's talent was extremely high.

In her heart, she had long regarded Dan Chen as the biggest competitor for this Pill Gathering championship.

This time she came to the Dan family, also intending to probe Dan Chen's true strength.

Although they were friends, when it came to competing for the championship, they would not yield to each other.

When the three women left the Alchemist Trading Fair, a gaze filled with surprise watched their departing figures.

The owner of that gaze was Xiao Yan.

He recognized Yun Yun at a glance, and ripples stirred in his heart.

After all, Yun Yun was, no matter how one put it, the former sect master of the Yun Lan Sect and Nalan Yanran's master.

He had not expected Yun Yun to appear in this Holy Pill City, and the figure that had always weighed on his heart surfaced unbidden in his mind.

"Since Yun Yun is here..."

"Could he also be here?"

The Dan Family.

Not long after the three returned to the courtyard where Dan Chen was, the originally calm space seemed to be torn open by an invisible giant hand, and a huge spatial crack suddenly appeared.

Immediately afterward, a tall and slender figure walked slowly out from the crack.

It was Yun Yi.

"Master!"

Yun Yun called out in surprise and joy, tears of excitement glimmering in her eyes.

She hurried over to Yun Yi's side and embraced his arm.

"Uncle Yun!"

Dan Chen also shouted excitedly, following Yun Yun as they hopped and skipped to Yun Yi's side, his eyes full of admiration.

Yun Yi smiled faintly and affectionately patted Yun Yun and Dan Chen's little heads.

"I've kept you waiting."

Yun Yi's sudden appearance caused Cao Ying to glance sideways involuntarily.

The man before her gave her a feeling of unfathomable depth.

He simply stood there quietly, yet an invisible aura seemed to emanate from him.

Yun Yi's soul had already entered the Heaven Realm, and his cultivation base had reached Half-Saint.

Even though he deliberately restrained his aura, Cao Ying's intuition told her that the man before her might be such that even her own master would be slightly inferior before him.

After all, by common reasoning, given her master's strength, the commotion Yun Yi made tearing open a spatial crack to appear should certainly have been detected.

But now, her master clearly had no perception at all.

All the fluctuations were confined to this courtyard, and not even the others of the Dan Family detected anything happening here in the slightest.

"Such a strongman, yet I have never heard of him—Zhongzhou truly is a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons..."

Cao Ying sighed inwardly.

Looking at Yun Yi chatting with Yun Yun, the corners of her lips involuntarily curved into a subtle arc full of allure.

Demonic qi swirled around her, like a fairy fallen into the mortal world, exuding a fatal attraction.

Yun Yi seemed to sense Cao Ying's gaze and suddenly glanced over this way.

With his composure, his gaze lingered on Cao Ying for an extra moment.

On Cao Ying's alluring face was a demonic aura that made one unable to resist.

"Junior Cao Ying pays her respects to Senior Yun!"

Cao Ying bowed slightly and saluted with clasped hands.

Her snow-white, swan-like neck was perfectly displayed before Yun Yi, carrying a unique charm.

Her voice was like an oriole leaving the valley—clear and pleasant to the ear, yet carrying an indescribable allure.
