Chapter 29 Who Will Go First?

"That's enough!"

Chu Hongxiu suddenly let out a low roar.

She suddenly raised her head, her eyes showing struggle, but also a hint of determination.

"I, Chu Hongxiu, am not afraid of death! But I absolutely cannot stand by and watch my sect be destroyed!"

"Zhou Tian! Remember this! Today, I, Chu Hongxiu, have humbled myself not to survive, but for the sake of the sect!"

Having said that, she no longer hesitated.

With gritted teeth, he took the lead and walked towards the stone gate of Long Ling'er's cave!

His back view was resolute, as if he were going to his death.

This action was like toppling the first domino.

Lin Qingyu closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling.

After a long pause, she sighed dejectedly and whispered, "The Ice Heart Technique... never mind. What's the use of guarding this technique if the sect is gone..."

After saying that, she started walking.

Su Wan'er's tears rolled down her cheeks, but she eventually wiped them away and silently followed.

Bai Qian nodded slightly to Zhou Tian and said softly, "Thank you for your trouble, Junior Brother."

Then he drifted in.

In the blink of an eye, only Zhou Tian and five women, including Liu Ruyan, remained on the cliff.

Zhou Tian looked at Liu Ruyan and Zi Ling, his tone softening: "Senior Sister Liu, Senior Sister Zi, you two are already pregnant and it is not appropriate for you to participate in this...cultivation. Please stay here and protect us."

Liu Ruyan subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, a complex emotion flashing across her cool face.

There was resentment and unwillingness, but in the end it all turned into a soft sigh.

Liu Ruyan nodded: "...Okay."

Zi Ling pursed her red lips and gave Zhou Tian a sidelong glance with her alluring eyes.

She said coquettishly, "Junior brother has found someone new and has forgotten the old one~ Oh well, it's our own fault for getting pregnant."

Even so, she still obediently walked to Liu Ruyan's side and took her arm.

Zhao Qinglian, Long Ling'er, and Qin Ruoxue exchanged glances.

There was a hint of tension in their eyes, but more than that, there was a resolute determination to burn one's bridges.

They've already tasted the benefits and know this is the fastest way.

"Let's go."

Zhou Tian said no more, turned around, and took the lead into the cave.

Inside the cave, the hot spring water was steaming, and the walls of the black ice gleamed with a cold light.

The four senior sisters who had entered earlier were already standing in different corners, each with a different expression.

Chu Hongxiu stood with her arms crossed, her back to the crowd, her shoulders and back stiff.

Lin Qingyu and Su Wan'er stood close together, their faces pale.

Bai Qian stood alone by the pool, gazing at the steam in a daze.

The stone door slowly closed, isolating it from outside light and sound.

Inside the cave, the soft light of the pearl shone down, illuminating the unique faces and figures of the six stunning beauties.

A faint fragrance filled the air, along with an indescribable tension.

Zhou Tian walked to the center of the cave and glanced at the women.

Zhou Tian knew that simply persuading or forcing Lin Qingyu and Su Wan'er would be useless.

Their inner conflict stems from the backlash of their cultivation techniques.

He then looked at the two women and said directly, "Senior Sister Lin, Senior Sister Su. What you are worried about is nothing more than the backlash from losing your virginity, which will damage your cultivation techniques and your meridians."

The two women looked up at him, their eyes filled with the last glimmer of hope, as if expecting him to say that "there is another way."

Zhou Tian then changed the subject and spoke again.

"Even if you become crippled, I am confident I can raise your cultivation to the Golden Core stage, the Nascent Soul stage, or even higher!"

"Is this really true?"

Lin Qingyu's voice trembled.

Why would I lie to you?

Zhou Tian said calmly.

Tears welled up in Su Wan'er's eyes, but she was crying tears of joy: "If...if it could really be like that..."

"Time is of the essence."

"Believe it or not,"

You'll know once you try it. If I feel something's wrong, I can stop immediately.

Zhou Tian interrupted her, his tone leaving no room for argument.

These words gave the two women a last glimmer of hope for a way out and also dispelled some of their conflicts and concerns.

Having dealt with the two most troublesome women, Zhou Tian turned his gaze to Chu Hongxiu.

"Senior Sister Chu, you are strong-willed and disdainful of taking shortcuts. But these are extraordinary times, and extraordinary measures are necessary. If you disagree, I'll make a bet with you."

Chu Hongxiu whirled around, her eyes blazing with fury: "What are we betting on?"

"I'll bet that your strength will increase after this dual cultivation."

"After this once, if you feel that your strength has increased and it's not worth lowering yourself for, then you can do whatever you want with me, Zhou Tian. But if you feel it is worth it... then you will need to cooperate fully from now on."

Zhou Tian said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Hongxiu's cheeks flushed slightly.

She stared intently at him, and after a long while, she squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.

"Fine! I'll see just how capable your crooked methods really are!"

Finally, Zhou Tian looked at Bai Qian, who had been silent all along: "Senior Sister Bai?"

Bai Qian smiled slightly, her ethereal face showing little shyness, but rather a curious, research-oriented expression.

"Junior brother, there's no need for further explanation. I cultivate the 'Natural Way,' which emphasizes acting in accordance with the natural order. In the current situation, this is the only way. Moreover, I am very interested in what you said about 'mutual benefit and symbiosis.'"

Zhou Tian stopped talking nonsense, took a deep breath, and slowly channeled his Golden Core stage spiritual power.

The voice was steady, yet carried an undeniable authority, echoing throughout the cave.

"Then... senior sisters, please take off your clothes."

"Junior brother, you have offended me."

Inside the cave, the pearl shone like water.

As soon as Zhou Tian finished speaking, the air remained still for a full three breaths.

Chu Hongxiu was the first to move.

"snort!"

Chu Hongxiu snorted coldly, and her fiery red outfit spontaneously transformed into flowing flames and dissipated, revealing the crimson soft armor underneath.

The soft nails barely covered the vital areas, and the wheat-colored skin shone with a healthy glow under the pearl.

Her waist was firm, her legs were long and strong, and every line exuded explosive power.
