After leaving the village, Zhang Nu and the others continued on their journey. As they walked, a group suddenly appeared ahead of them. The moment Zhang Nu laid eyes on the group, he knewthey were enemies. But oddly enough, the group was made up mostly of women, all of them striking and imposing in their bearing, completely different from Ling Xis type.

Liu Hai stared blankly at the sight. Hed grown used to Ling Xis gentle demeanor and now found himself powerless against these strong, valiant women.

Seeing their formation, Liu Hai couldnt help but suggest, Zhang Nu, why dont we travel with them? Look, theyre heading the same direction.

Zhang Nu didnt need to guess what Liu Hai was thinking. His expression alone was enough to betray his intentions.

Liu Hai, could you stop embarrassing yourself? Zhang Nu snapped. You think I dont know whats going on in your head? Youre clearly smitten by this group of beauties.

Embarrassed after being seen through, Liu Hai could only chuckle awkwardly.

Zhang Nu never believed this group of women would be easy to deal with. He was all too familiar with the saying: Lust leads to death.

Liu Hai, dont forgetbeauty draws blood. If you invite them in, dont come crying when they turn on you.

Women, more often than not, strike the hardest. If you dare cross them, they wont let you off easy.

Liu Hai shivered involuntarily after hearing Zhang Nus warning. Come to think of it, Zhang Nu did have a point. It probably wasnt a good idea to provoke these people. Youre right, Zhang Nu. Lets not mess with them. No matter what they say, we wont bring them along.

Zhang Nu nodded. The group continued walking forward.

But just as they pressed on, something unexpected happenedthe group of beautiful women turned and began heading straight toward them.

Seeing Zhang Nus team, the women smiled faintly. In their eyes, this group was already in the bag.

If we kill them, do you think our cultivation levels will rise? one of them asked casually. Theyre just a bunch of men. Shouldnt take much effort.

The others nodded in agreement. Big Sis, youre absolutely right. These men will probably be too distracted by our beauty to think straight. Even though a girl is traveling with them, she doesnt look like much of a threat.

Their leader nodded, clearly confident in their looks and charm. They had expected those men to approach them first. But to their surprise, Zhang Nus team walked past them without a glance and left.

That unexpected reaction made the women fume. Their eyes were practically spitting sparks. But they werent too bothered. If those men dared act that way, it only meant they had the nerve to back it up.

I cant believe they didnt fall for our looks.

Are there really men in this world who dont care about a womans appearance?

Impossible. All men are lecherous. Theyre just playing hard to get to draw our attention, the leader shook her head. Either way, theyre our target. Doesnt matter who makes the first move.

The others nodded once again, convinced by her reasoning.

Soon, the group of women approached Zhang Nus team. Seeing this, Zhang Nu and the others grew immediately wary.

One of the women called out sweetly, You all look like youre headed the same way. Why not join our groups? Itd be safer to travel together. Its a bit risky for so many girls to go alone.

Zhang Nus mouth twitched at the words. He didnt see what was so unsafe about them traveling together.

That wont be necessary, he replied flatly. We already have enough people in our group.

Besides, none of us are particularly strong cultivators. Even if we traveled together, we couldnt guarantee your safety.

The womans gaze turned venomous for a brief second but then it was gone, replaced by a sweet smile as though nothing had happened.

Zhang Nu hadnt seen the look, but he still felt a prickling unease crawl over him.

Ling Xi had seen it, though. Her expression darkened instantly. That look confirmed itthese women were trouble.

We already said no, she snapped. So why are you still pestering us?
