After the Fairy Maidens Fell to Darkness, They Captured Me to Ruthlessly 'Repay' Their Gratitude-Chapter 176 - Just Stay Put, We’ll Go Catch Him

Inside Dao Yuan Temple,

The red-feathered girl and the white-haired elder each took a window, secretly observing the two figures on the mountaintop.

After He Ange abruptly left, the two stayed behind to watch. After all, He Ange’s words alone weren’t proof enough—how could they be sure the Destined Heroine An Luo Yi was really coming? What if He Ange was just making an excuse to do something shady?

But then, Que Sheng and Li Daoyuan witnessed a scene that left them stunned.

First, the white-robed youth flew up the mountain on his sword. After a while, the silver-haired celestial maiden also arrived, gliding gracefully on her own sword. The two exchanged words, with He Ange seemingly explaining something. It appeared his claim wasn’t false—An Luo Yi truly was there to inspect the area.

At this point, both Que Sheng and Li Daoyuan began to believe He Ange.

However, what happened next left them utterly speechless. They watched as the white-robed youth reached out and wrapped his arm around the slender waist of the silver-haired celestial maiden. At first, she resisted, pushing him away, but it didn’t take long before she melted into his embrace. She allowed him to hold her, kiss her cheek, and whisper intimate words into her ear.

That was the Destined Heroine!

Known for her cold and aloof demeanor, she commanded respect even from senior elders. Many sect leaders would bow their heads in her presence, not daring to show any improper thoughts.

In fact,

Even some elders over a hundred years old didn’t hold as high a position in Dragon Dynasty as this young woman!

And yet, here she was—on a late-night inspection—falling so easily into He Ange’s arms, blushing and flustered.

This scene,

Left not only Li Daoyuan but also Que Sheng completely dumbfounded.

As a descendant of the Vermilion Bird clan, Que Sheng was naturally one of the top prodigies of her generation. However, compared to An Luo Yi’s cultivation and talent, while she wasn’t afraid, she knew she lacked the confidence to face her in a life-or-death battle.

But now,

The Destined Heroine she admired had been so easily...

At this thought,

Que Sheng couldn’t help but recall her own humiliating encounter with He Ange—the way he had effortlessly overpowered her and pinned her down like a child.

“It seems he wasn’t lying when he said he wasn’t interested in me...”

“The legendary Destined Heroine is indeed more captivating than I am.”

Watching the seemingly perfect couple on the mountaintop, Que Sheng sighed quietly, a hint of disappointment and inferiority creeping into her heart.

But,

Shaking her head, her pride as a Vermilion Bird resurfaced.

“My father always said that our Vermilion Bird clan’s petite stature is only temporary. Once I reach Divine Transformation stage, my body will mature significantly... There are plenty of tall and well-endowed sisters in my clan—it’s just that my cultivation hasn’t reached that level yet!”

With this thought,

The girl regained some of her confidence.

Meanwhile,

Li Daoyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

“He Ange... Not only has he subdued the Vermilion Bird princess, but even the Destined Heroine has fallen into his grasp... He’s not just the Moon Sect Witch’s trusted disciple; I’ve heard even Dragon Dynasty’s Empress holds him in high regard. And his master is none other than First-Rank Celestial Minister Qin Shiyan.”

Hiss—

The elder drew in a sharp breath.

“This man’s identity is too dangerous—his cards are unfathomable! He must be eliminated as soon as possible; we cannot let him grow!”

...

...

Shengxu Sect

In a small forest on the forbidden grounds,

He Ange was helping the silver-haired celestial maiden adjust her undergarments and pull up her black stockings. Of course, they hadn’t done anything inappropriate in such a secluded place. It was just that as they talked late into the night, with no one else around, the atmosphere naturally grew intimate. It would’ve been strange if He Ange didn’t make a move.

So,

He had carried his senior sister to a hidden spot with plenty of cover and indulged in some light affection and teasing—just enough to relieve some tension.

Beyond that, nothing significant happened. Even if He Ange wanted more, An Luo Yi wouldn’t agree to such things in this kind of setting. At most, she’d use her hands or mouth to satisfy him...

After all,

They were young lovers deeply infatuated with each other’s bodies during this sweet phase of their relationship. Frequent intimacy was inevitable.

After their brief moment of secret joy,

The sky began to brighten slightly.

That night,

He Ange wrapped up his surveillance early and returned to Shengxu Sect with An Luo Yi. Together, they headed to Shiyun Pavilion to report their findings to Qin Shiyan.

Inside Shiyun Pavilion

He Ange and An Luo Yi sat side by side while the black-dressed celestial minister reclined elegantly on a high-backed chair.

“Ange, any findings these past few days?”

Qin Shiyan tapped her high heels lightly in midair as she raised an eyebrow in inquiry.

From below,

He Ange shook his head helplessly:

“Reporting to Master—no discoveries at all. Elder Dao Yuan hasn’t left seclusion even once...”

“That’s not your fault. Surveillance is always a matter of luck. If nothing turns up, just keep watching.”

Qin Shiyan nodded as if expecting this outcome.

She folded her fan across her chest and sighed: “However, based on intelligence I’ve received recently, it’s highly likely that Wanmo Sect is backing Li Daoyuan.”

“What makes you say that?”

“Wanmo Sect recently dispatched thirteen demon generals to blockade the northern ice plains... While their conflict with Moon Sect remains unclear, such large-scale movements at this time are highly suspicious. Moreover, Wanmo Sect certainly has the resources and ambition to target ancient treasures.”

“I see.”

He Ange feigned a thoughtful nod.

Qin Shiyan continued: “The biggest challenge right now is not knowing when Li Daoyuan will act—or what gives him such confidence... If we could uncover these details in advance, we’d have a much better chance of ambushing him and eliminating any demonic collaborators alongside him. If we can confirm Wanmo Sect’s involvement, it would give Dragon Dynasty justification to declare war against them!”

By the end,

A cold glint flashed through the dragon-robed celestial maiden’s phoenix-like eyes.

Given Dragon Dynasty’s current strength,

Eradicating and subjugating major demonic sects was only a matter of finding the right opportunity.

Inside Shiyun Pavilion,

The atmosphere grew heavy.

He Ange spoke softly:

“I heard Shengxu Sect plans to hold a large-scale training expedition in half a month... Something about joining other sects to suppress a minor demonic sect in the west?”

“Yes. The minor sect is weak—perfect for giving young disciples battlefield experience.”

Qin Shiyan murmured thoughtfully.

But then,

Something seemed to click. Her phoenix-like eyes narrowed as she straightened in her seat.

Her thoughts raced—connecting various clues in rapid succession.

Finally,

The dragon-robed celestial maiden drew in a sharp breath: “So you believe Li Daoyuan will act during that time?”

“It’s just a guess.”

Under the moonlight,

He Ange shrugged with a faint smile.

...

...

...

Qin Shiyan spent the entire night discussing strategies in Shiyun Pavilion.

Throughout,

He Ange listened attentively—occasionally offering insights and memorizing every step of their plan.

In the end,

The dragon-robed celestial maiden and silver-haired celestial maiden seemed to reach an unspoken agreement. Together,

They turned toward the pale youth—the weakest cultivator present—and declared:

“He Ange.”

“If Li Daoyuan escapes and chaos breaks out outside... You just stay put in the sect and don’t go anywhere!”

tln : lmao, He Ange being pampered by both of them
