Chapter 380: The Two Invaders Meet
Song Wanning stood on the deck, her red robes as brilliant as the sun.
Her sleeves fluttered as a gentle breeze caressed her hair.
In the golden light, her stunning face appeared both divine and demonic.
Many people below were mesmerized, their eyes filled with awe.
’Why is it this woman again, stealing my spotlight?!’
Jiang Cen’s face twisted for a moment in anger.
Several important male supporting characters were in the crowd below. She had intentionally dressed up beautifully to capture their hearts upon her arrival.
Who knew that after outshining Zhang Shuning, she would have all the attention stolen by Song Wanning!
’This woman is definitely my nemesis. These men can only be mine!’
’No one will take them from me!’
Ever since transmigrating into the book, Jiang Cen had made her plans. She was determined to create a battlefield of men competing for her affection.
Even if she didn’t want these men, they weren’t allowed to like anyone else.
The irritating voice rang out again, instantly shattering Song Wanning’s good mood.
She shot a cold glance at Jiang Cen, only to hear another familiar voice suddenly ring in her ears.
’System, it’s actually Song Wanning!!’
It was Xiao Heyun!
Song Wanning immediately looked down, her gaze sweeping over every disciple as she searched for any sign of Xiao Heyun.
’Host, this woman has advanced! The Alchemy Dao inheritance must still be in her hands!’
Another, unfamiliar voice spoke.
Song Wanning’s expression changed. ’Who is Xiao Heyun talking to?’
’Could it be a remnant soul attached to his Divine Soul?’
Her eyes scanned the area rapidly, finally locking onto an ordinary-looking Cultivator in the crowd.
’It seems Xiao Heyun has taken this person’s identity to sneak in.’
’What a clever trick!’
She narrowed her eyes. Both invaders had arrived. It seemed the treasures in the Spirit Rhinoceros Secret Realm were truly extraordinary.
After a brief pause, the disciples of the Ancient Cold Sect disembarked from the Spirit Boat in an orderly fashion.
Xiao Heyun’s gaze followed Song Wanning the entire time. It had been a while, and Song Wanning had grown even more beautiful!
And from the looks of it, her status in the Sect wasn’t low either.
But when his eyes fell on Liu Xingzhi, who was leading the group, Xiao Heyun’s expression darkened.
’It’s this Liu Xingzhi again. Last time, it was because of him that Junior Sister’s favorability toward me dropped to 80!’
’I was so close to successfully seducing her and getting the reward, but it all went down the drain!’
Xiao Heyun secretly ground his teeth, hating Liu Xingzhi to the core.
’System, you have to help me find the treasure in the Secret Realm. Then I’ll win back Junior Sister’s favorability and add Song Wanning to my harem!’
’This is my best chance. This woman is just too beautiful. Even if she’s not a target, I have to conquer her!’
’Rest assured, Host. The intel this time is foolproof. Last time was just an accident!’
The voices gradually faded. Song Wanning stood motionlessly in the crowd, a thought stirring in her mind.
Xiao Heyun’s words had revealed several important pieces of information. ’Favorability?’
’Seduction target?’
’Is it what I think it is?’
She lowered her gaze and scoffed inwardly. ’He wants to add me to his harem?’
’He’ll have to see if I agree to that.’
At this thought, Song Wanning sent a Communication Talisman to Xie Qinglan, praising Liu Xingzhi to the heavens and describing him as a man without equal on earth.
A moment later, she heard the voice again.
’Seduction target Xie Qinglan’s favorability -2. Current favorability: 78. Host, please expedite your seduction. If favorability drops below 60, there will be a penalty!’
Xiao Heyun: "..."
’I haven’t even done anything. Why did her favorability drop again?’
His expression twisted for a second, his eyes blazing with fury.
’What the hell is going on? Why did it drop again?!’
’I don’t know either, Host...’
The man and his system were both baffled. They were so far away; how could her favorability have dropped for no reason?
’Fuck, I must be seeing things!’
’Damn it, Xie Qinglan was supposed to be the easiest one to seduce! How did it turn out like this?’
’If this keeps up, I’ll have no choice but to go after those other ones first...’
The more Xiao Heyun thought about it, the more frustrated he became, and he started to feel resentful toward Xie Qinglan.
Xie Qinglan was clearly the most obedient one. He had even planned to make her his main wife!
Hearing Xiao Heyun’s words, the corners of Song Wanning’s lips curled up. Her suspicions were confirmed.
’So, Xiao Heyun needs to gain the favorability of certain women, and it seems there’s some kind of system reward involved.’
Although she had never heard of a "system," she didn’t need to think hard to know it must be something incredible that could bring opportunities to an invader.
She lowered her eyes, her gaze flickering between Xiao Heyun and Jiang Cen for a moment before she suddenly smiled.
’If I lead these two invaders to clash, I wonder whose side the Heavenly Dao of the Wood Sculpture Realm will take?’
’The mere thought is quite interesting.’
...
The few Body Integration Realm masters exchanged some pleasantries, then each stood guard over their own Sect’s disciples, waiting for the Secret Realm to open.
The Cultivators stood together in groups of two and three, many sizing each other up. Once inside the Secret Realm, everyone would be an enemy.
There were a few people Song Wanning paid extra attention to, because Jiang Cen was currently complaining about them in her mind.
From the sound of it, these men were the devoted supporting male characters who were fated to fall completely in love with Zhang Shuning during this Secret Realm excursion.
But Jiang Cen wanted to steal them for herself...
Song Wanning: "..."
She lifted her eyelids, speechless. Sometimes, being able to hear others’ thoughts was a form of torture.
But soon, someone else in the crowd caught her attention.
That person was Yun Yunzhou, the daughter of the Piaomiao Sect’s Supreme Elder and also an admirer of Liu Xingzhi.
She was the so-called "vicious female supporting character" in Jiang Cen’s mind, but at the same time, she was also one of Xiao Heyun’s seduction targets.
Someone had actually managed to link the two invaders.
Song Wanning’s expression shifted slightly. Their goals were surprisingly similar.
Both of them wanted to sever any possibility between Yun Yunzhou and Liu Xingzhi.
Things seemed to be getting even more interesting.
The Ancient Cold Sect, the Piaomiao Sect, the Cloud Sect, the Taigu Sect, and the Canglan Sect were known as the five Major Sects of the Southern Domain.
As the daughter of the Piaomiao Sect’s Supreme Elder, Yun Yunzhou’s status was more or less on par with Jiang Cen’s.
But both were so-called "vicious female supporting characters" with tragic endings. It seemed their downfall would be at the hands of Liu Xingzhi.
...
Suddenly, strands of golden light descended from the sky, capturing everyone’s attention.
Everyone straightened up and looked toward the sky.
The once-overcast sky began to clear, and then the image of a Heavenly Palace appeared above the clouds.
Like a mirage, it was visible but unreachable.
Suddenly, the Heavenly Palace cast down a beam of light that struck mid-air.
In an instant, a Light Gate appeared, shimmering with a mysterious glow.
It was the entrance to the Spirit Rhinoceros Secret Realm.
"The Secret Realm has appeared!"
"Don’t rush, everyone! Enter one by one!"
The Body Integration Realm master from the Piaomiao Sect gave a reminder, and excitement rippled through the crowd.
Someone took the lead, rushing into the Secret Realm first.
The rest followed close behind. Everyone was anxious, but they didn’t dare crowd, so they could only fly in by squeezing through any available opening.
Song Wanning hung back, nonchalantly drifting closer to Xiao Heyun.
