Song Wanning traveled toward the Artifact Talisman Sect with the man in tow. To give Qi Xiezi an opportunity to make his move, she traveled by flying carpet during the day and would always find a place to stop and rest with him at night.

At first, Qi Xiezi remained cautious. After all, Song Wanning was a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator, just like him.

Although the person who hired him had told him Song Wanning’s combat power was weak and that she was all for show, his own Cultivation was also heavily inflated. The majority of it had been built up using the Yin Yang Evil Technique, and his primary combat strength relied on his Soul Summoning Banner.

So, he didn’t dare to be careless. He had to deceive Song Wanning first. Once he had completely earned her trust, he would aim for a single, decisive strike.

They traveled like this for over ten days. After half a month of groundwork, Qi Xiezi finally felt the time was right.

That night, the two of them found a hidden spot to rest as usual. To care for him—who had "not yet" begun to cultivate—Song Wanning roasted meat for them to eat every day.

"Senior, let me handle it today. You go get some rest!"

Qi Xiezi smoothly took the rabbit meat, wondering, ’How can I distract her?’

Just as he was contemplating this, Song Wanning suddenly spoke. "I’m going into the woods for a moment. Stay right here and don’t wander off."

With that, she took out an Array Plate and set it down before quickly darting into the trees.

Qi Xiezi’s lips twisted into a smirk. He discreetly extended his Divine Sense to confirm that Song Wanning had truly entered the forest. Only then did he hastily smear the drug onto the rabbit meat.

To avoid arousing Song Wanning’s suspicion, he took the antidote himself first.

As he imagined the wonderful scene to come, Qi Xiezi couldn’t help but hum a tune while expertly roasting the rabbit.

A short while later, Song Wanning returned, carrying a demon beast. The creature was covered in blood, its eyes wide with lingering terror. It was already dead.

Song Wanning tossed the demon beast onto the ground and said to him, "Consider this a welcome gift. You’ll find a use for these things once you start your Cultivation!"

"Really? Senior, you’re too good to me!"

Qi Xiezi thanked her, feigning delight, and turned the spit with the roasting meat even faster.

Song Wanning said nothing more, leaning against a large tree and beginning to meditate.

Finally, the rabbit was cooked.

Qi Xiezi gave half the meat to Song Wanning, then took the other half and began tearing into it with big bites.

"This rabbit is really delicious! You have to try it, Senior!"

He savored each bite, all the while watching Song Wanning out of the corner of his eye.

"Is that so?"

Song Wanning lifted her portion, her expression impassive.

’I’ve played this game with him for long enough. It’s time to spring the trap.’

Feigning ignorance, she took a bite of the rabbit. Seemingly finding it to her liking, she began to eat slowly.

Qi Xiezi’s pupils contracted. Suppressing the ecstatic joy bubbling up inside him, he devoured his share of the rabbit.

’As long as she eats the drug... it’s all over.’

After devouring the rabbit meat in a few quick bites, Qi Xiezi dropped his pretense. A teasing smirk spread across his face as he calmly observed Song Wanning, waiting for the drug to take effect.

He saw her cheeks gradually flush red, and her eyes grew hazy—the classic signs of an aphrodisiac taking hold.

The aphrodisiac he had prepared was no common drug. It was a vile concoction from the Ancient Times, one he had acquired along with his Evil Cultivator inheritance.

This drug was exceptionally potent; those poisoned by it were incapable of staying lucid. Even a Divinity Transformation cultivator would be left completely disoriented.

Furthermore, its aftereffects were severe. The victim had to find a partner to copulate with, or their body would explode, resulting in death!

Qi Xiezi’s lustful gaze roved over Song Wanning’s seductive figure, inch by inch. In his haze, he could almost feel her smooth, delicate skin.

"Tch, what a little slut!"

Qi Xiezi licked his lips and swallowed hard.

This woman was top-tier in both body and looks, to say nothing of her Nascent Soul Peak Cultivation!

’If I dual cultivate with her, my Cultivation will instantly break through to Divinity Transformation!’

At the thought, Qi Xiezi’s heart began to pound in his chest.

Finally, Song Wanning’s eyes lost their focus. Sweat beaded on her forehead, and her face was flushed as red as a sunset.

"You slut, I’m here!"

"Let me show you a good time and teach you what a real man is!"

Unable to restrain himself any longer, Qi Xiezi let out a vicious laugh and pounced on Song Wanning.

’A beauty like this right in front of me... I won’t stop until we’ve gone at least ten rounds!’

Suddenly, his body felt heavy. He stumbled and fell with a THUD, landing right at Song Wanning’s feet.

Shocked and furious, Qi Xiezi scrambled to get back up.

A cool voice suddenly drifted down from above.

"Slut?"

The voice was familiar, yet it sounded foreign to him.

He looked up in astonishment and saw Song Wanning staring down at him, her expression cold. There wasn’t the slightest sign that she had been drugged.

"You—"

"You were toying with me?!!!!"

Qi Xiezi finally understood. With a furious roar, a wild surge of Evil Qi erupted and enveloped his small frame.

The whites of his eyes turned murky and corrupt, giving him a ghastly, terrifying appearance.

But Song Wanning simply applied more pressure, pinning Qi Xiezi down completely.

"Did I say you could get up?"

Qi Xiezi was so angry he laughed.

"Hah—"

"You fucking bitch. I’ll give you this, you’re smarter than you look, seeing through my disguise."

"But what does it matter? Now that you’ve crossed me, Qi Xiezi, the only path for you is death!"

He sneered, and a surge of Evil Qi erupted from his body as he tried to force himself to his feet.

’This woman’s Divine Soul Power is incredible. Even though we’re at the same Cultivation level, she can suppress me with her aura alone...’

’She’s perfect fodder for my Soul Summoning Banner.’

A bloodthirsty glint flashed in Qi Xiezi’s eyes. He had to have this woman!

But just as he managed to push himself up an inch, Song Wanning’s boot came down, planting itself right on the crown of his head.

She wore a gentle smile as she pressed down hard, grinding Qi Xiezi’s face into the dirt.

With a slight twist of her foot, a searing pain shot across his cheek.

But worse than the pain was the shock and humiliation.

Qi Xiezi’s mind went blank for a second. He couldn’t believe what had just happened.

Ever since he had reached the Nascent Soul realm, everyone gave him a wide berth. When had he ever been humiliated like this?!!!

’This damn bitch is courting death!’

Fury exploded within him. Qi Xiezi frantically summoned his Soul Summoning Banner and circulated the Evil Qi in his body, determined to grind Song Wanning to dust and wring out every last drop of her value.

The Soul Summoning Banner unfurled, and the remnant souls trapped within shrieked and writhed, clawing to get out.

They had long ago lost their consciousness, reduced to mere puppets under his control.

"Soul Summoning Banner, go—"

Qi Xiezi activated the Soul Summoning Banner, a vicious glint flashing in his eyes.

But then, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, Qi Xiezi coughed up a mouthful of black blood, and his body began to contort uncontrollably.

"AHH—"

He screamed in terror.

"Where did my Evil Qi go?"
