As Wu Tao's status changed, Nangong Chen knew he no longer had the right to detain Wu Tao by force.
He could only use his daughter and granddaughter as threats, forcing Wu Tao to say those words.
"Very well, Immortal Master, I hope you will keep your promise!" Nangong Chen finally said.
Upon hearing this, Wu Tao smiled and replied indifferently, "Your Nangong family and that damned Grand Immortal Sima are not enough to make me break my own promise."
With that, Wu Tao left the main hall without paying any further attention to the people within.
...
After Wu Tao left, Nangong Chen's gaze instantly turned ice-cold.
Everything that had happened today far exceeded his expectations.
Both Wu Tao's identity as an immortal and his attitude made him feel extremely uneasy.
He had a premonition that if this matter was not handled properly, it could push the entire Nangong family to the brink of destruction.
...
After pondering for a moment, Nangong Chen ordered, "First, go and check the surroundings. See if he is still here."
Half an hour later, four or five martial arts masters from among the mortals returned.
"I've checked carefully. There are no outsiders within a radius of several hundred meters. The guard posts have been doubled. Even if he's an immortal, he won't be able to hear from this far away!"
A leading Nangong family expert said expressionlessly.
"You all must remember what Grand Immortal Sima said before he left: if we don't bring Xue'er and Yu'er back, our Nangong family will most likely be wiped out..."
"And you saw just now how arrogant that fellow was. He must have some backing, so we can't offend him too much. This matter can only be left for them to resolve themselves."
At this moment, Nangong Chen had lost all his former prestige. He slumped on the chair, clearly having resigned himself to certain consequences.
...
"Go, inquire thoroughly. You must uncover the background of this suddenly appearing fellow. Find out his origin, and do it quickly."
Nangong Xian, the Grand Elder of the Nangong family, said.
...
After this ordeal, Wu Tao returned to his residence and found that the guards at his door had all been withdrawn. Not a single person was there.
However, the residences of Nangong Xue and Nangong Yu were surrounded by guards.
The security was extremely tight, with a guard every three steps and a sentinel every five. Of course, such strict security was not to protect Nangong Xue and Nangong Yu, but to watch Wu Tao, fearing his escape.
After escorting Wu Tao back to his residence, Nangong Tian bowed to Wu Tao and said, "Immortal Master, please forgive this mortal for his presumption. Not knowing your identity, I have offended you in many ways. I beg your pardon."
...
"I've never cared about these things. If I truly cared, do you think your Nangong family would still exist?"
"A mere mortal town guard's status can't suppress me?"
Wu Tao said this after calmly accepting Nangong Tian's bow.
As soon as Wu Tao finished speaking, Nangong Tian bowed again.
"Grand Immortal Sima will be here tomorrow. I hope you can have a good talk with Grand Immortal Sima and try not to offend him."
Nangong Tian said to Wu Tao solemnly.
After speaking, he left. As the future head of the Nangong family, he had many things to attend to.
...
After staying in his room for a while, finding it boring, Wu Tao went to Nangong Xue's room to chat with her.
As for those damned guards, trying to stop Wu Tao would be laughable.
...
Sitting in the room, looking at Nangong Xue's graceful demeanor and charming posture that exuded from her every movement, Wu Tao couldn't help but swallow.
At this moment, Nangong Xue was wearing a purple sable fur coat. A small portion of her fair and plump breasts was exposed, and her long, shapely legs were taut.
Seeing this, Wu Tao, who initially had no ill intentions and merely wanted some amusement, suddenly felt lust surge within him.
A beautiful widow, a young wife, alluring and charming, pitiful, exceptionally beautiful.
Nangong Xue, carrying a scent, appeared within a foot of him. Thinking of something, her face suddenly flushed slightly.
Although the room was dimly lit, how could Wu Tao, a cultivator at the Core Formation stage, not see clearly?
Under Wu Tao's gaze, Nangong Xue shed her purple sable fur coat, revealing only a large red bodice and a pair of white silk panties.
Her fair and plump breasts were mostly exposed, and her long, shapely legs were revealed all the way to her thighs.
Nangong Xue, with her flushed face and biting her lower lip, gave the impression of being easily swayed and inviting. It was as if she were telling Wu Tao to hurry up.
Whether it was her appearance, figure, temperament, or the psychological allure she brought to men, Nangong Xue was incredibly tantalizing.
Nangong Xue exhaled a fragrant breath and said, "Young Master, do I look beautiful?"
Nangong Xue spoke with difficulty, slightly out of breath. It was a little embarrassing to say such things in front of a strange man, even with prior preparation.
Wu Tao was suddenly bewildered and confused!
"What do you mean by that?" He swallowed, feeling his arm brush against her soft jade breasts.
The scent from her body wafted into him, and a fire seemed to burn in his lower abdomen...
"Young Master, I have a daughter. I cannot die, and I do not want to die. If, if Young Master can help me..."
"I am willing to serve you with my spent body. Even without a title, I am willing..."
"Please, Young Master, take pity on my daughter who is less than ten years old. Woohoo, woohoo..."
Time rewinded, to half an hour ago.
When Nangong Xue first entered the Nangong mansion, she was quite uneasy.
The cunning Nangong Chen had extracted the truth about Wu Tao and Nangong Xue in just three minutes.
After learning that Wu Tao was an immortal, Nangong Xue had no sooner breathed a sigh of relief than she was threatened by her father, who used her daughter as leverage, demanding that she serve Wu Tao.
This was to prevent Wu Tao from causing major trouble in the Nangong family.
According to Nangong Chen's instructions, she was to try her best to get close to and please Wu Tao, using her body as a price, to stall until tomorrow.
Then, after Grand Immortal Sima arrived, they could assess the situation and decide where to place their bets.
However, Nangong Xue was a traditional noble lady. She knew a few martial arts, but her personality was outwardly strong and inwardly gentle. She ultimately lacked decisiveness and determination, always finding it difficult to be ruthless.
If it came to playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, cooking, or weaving, she was proficient in all of them. She could even put up a few moves with a saber or spear.
But when it came to pleasing men and being submissive, she was only half-learned.
Nangong Xue had been married to her late husband for many years. Since her husband had no concubines, she didn't need to learn these skills.
...
Therefore, after being threatened by her father, Nangong Chen, Nangong Xue stood still. Her once bright eyes now lacked their usual radiance.
She simply lowered her head and stared blankly at her feet. Anyone could see the turmoil in her heart.
Seeing Nangong Xue's state, a middle-aged woman behind Nangong Chen's back showed a trace of pity in her eyes.
She took Nangong Xue's hand and said to her, "Xue'er, remember, after you see the Immortal Master, just do as your auntie taught you. With your beauty and charm, you will surely succeed."
This middle-aged woman was now nearly old, but she was still graceful and elegant. It was clear that she had been a peerless beauty in her youth.
This middle-aged woman's name was Lin Yun'er. She was originally a top courtesan in a brothel. After Nangong Chen redeemed her, she became one of Nangong Chen's many concubines.
Under Nangong Chen's orders, she not only taught Nangong Xue many seductive techniques but also gave Nangong Xue an erotic painting for her to practice from.
Hearing Lin Yun'er's instructions, Nangong Xue finally came to her senses. She let out a sigh and nodded, "Auntie, don't worry, Xue'er understands."
Seeing Nangong Xue's demeanor, her expression seemed calm, but her eyes hid panic and confusion. Lin Yun'er also sighed softly, reached out to stroke her hair, and said gently, "Good child, this is truly difficult for you. You come from a prominent family, yet you are asked to do such a thing, which is completely against your nature..."
"But now, the future of the old and young of the Nangong family rests on your shoulders. You must try your best..."
Before Lin Yun'er could finish speaking, the sound of footsteps was heard.
Then, Lin Yun'er and Nangong Chen hurriedly left through the back door, giving Nangong Xue a look before they departed.
After a while, Wu Tao appeared in Nangong Xue's boudoir.
Upon seeing Wu Tao, Nangong Xue quickly rose to greet him, which led to what had just happened.
...
Meanwhile.
Seeing Nangong Xue's current attitude, Wu Tao, after a moment of indiscretion, quickly calmed down.
...
After only a few hours, Nangong Xue's attitude had become so proactive, it was as if she had written "Come sleep with me" on her body.
However, considering the filthy and sordid Nangong family, Wu Tao was not that surprised.
What truly surprised Wu Tao was Nangong Xue's current attire.
Clearly, the person who had instructed Nangong Xue on this way of dressing and grooming deeply understood men's psychology.
