Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar

Hong Yuan and Huan Yuelong dismissed their attendants, both standing on the Super Ice Ship.

It was already night, with moonlight shining over the Ice Frost River.

Compared to the beautiful moonlit scenery of Liu Island, the moonlit beauty of the Ice Frost River was hardly inferior; in fact, it possessed an added touch of chill.

Under the moonlight, Huan Yuelong's beauty was captivating. Her gaze rippled with a tenderness that made Hong Yuan's heart tremble slightly.

Hong Yuan sniffed a trace of an unusual fragrance.

Observing Huan Yuelong's expression, the ambiguous atmosphere became even more intense.

This script is wrong. If this is about lust, then don't. It's quite uninteresting. Romance is costly... Hong Yuan muttered to himself.

At this moment, Huan Yuelong was adjusting her emotions.

She was overcoming the restraints in her heart while circulating her Cultivation Technique, subtly enhancing her allure.

Phew… Huan Yuelong, you can do this! For Spirit Fox Island, for Shuangmeng! Huan Yuelong took a deep breath, encouraging herself.

Unlike her disciple, she wasn't foolishly thinking of capturing Hong Yuan. Instead, she planned to spend an intimate night with him to completely resolve the Spirit Fox Island matters.

Just as Huan Yuelong had nearly set the mood and was about to invite Hong Yuan to appreciate the moon, he looked at her, his face expressionless.

"Island Master Huan, state Spirit Fox Island's sincerity. Don't make me wait too long."

Huan Yuelong blinked her peach-blossom eyes and smiled at Hong Yuan. Her attitude gradually softened, a stark contrast to the cold demeanor she had shown Yuan Juedi and the other fourth-order Demon Beasts.

"Taoist Zhenyi, the night is long and so lonely. If Taoist Zhenyi doesn't mind, I wish to accompany you—"

Hong Yuan looked at Huan Yuelong, who was like a ripe honey peach ready for picking, and his eyelids twitched.

Good heavens, she really intends to seduce me! If I go along with it, how could I shamelessly exploit Spirit Fox Island in the future? I'm currently like a holy son of the Black Dragon Palace; I absolutely cannot let my dignity falter. Hong Yuan's thoughts raced.

SWISH! SWISH!

Hong Yuan waved the Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear, performing a few flourishes that interrupted Huan Yuelong's words and shattered the budding desire in his heart.

Objectively speaking, Huan Yuelong's allure was astonishing, enough to make many fourth-order Demon Beasts willingly succumb to her charms, even if most of them merely wanted to join in the spectacle.

If not for the innate cold nature of the Ice Armor Python clan bolstering him, Hong Yuan might have lost control.

The Duke of Zhou feared slander in his day; Wang Mang was modest before his usurpation.

Most of Hong Yuan's current glory was tied to the Black Dragon Demon Saint. Regardless, he had to maintain an appearance of diligent cultivation and strive to present himself as a qualified successor.

"There is no need for such actions, Island Master Huan. Please conduct yourself with dignity," Hong Yuan said softly.

Hong Yuan sheathed his long spear and looked up at the moon. "The night is indeed beautiful, but its beauty is fleeting, not eternal. Let's discuss more mundane matters."

Hearing Hong Yuan's polite rejection, the smile on Huan Yuelong's face suddenly froze.

Clearly, she had not expected Hong Yuan to reject her.

First seen on MV4LEMP|YR.

Who was she? She was the Spirit Fox Island Master, a fourth-order Great Demon, the dream lover of countless Demon Cultivators in the Zero Desolate Sea Area!

She had made immense mental preparation to offer herself this time, only steeling her resolve because of Hong Yuan's dashing appearance as a young, silver-robed general, brimming with vigor.

How dare you! How dare you!!! Huan Yuelong seethed internally, cursing Hong Yuan for his lack of appreciation.

At this moment, Huan Yuelong felt the same powerlessness Huan Shuangmeng had experienced before.

But in an instant, Huan Yuelong's attitude shifted, and she became entirely compliant with Hong Yuan's words.

After all, she was a demon of considerable age and experience; her cultivation and shrewdness were far beyond what Huan Shuangmeng could match.

"What Taoist Zhenyi says is absolutely true. I deeply agree," Huan Yuelong said, nodding her lovely head repeatedly, as if she had just recognized her mistake and was ready to mend her ways.

Hong Yuan smiled, and Huan Yuelong smiled in return.

Afterward, the two demons returned to the business at hand, continuously discussing the matter of 'sincerity'.

In the end, Hong Yuan cheerfully watched the Spirit Fox Island Master depart.

While Huan Yuelong's face remained gentle, still wearing a smile, her heart was extremely heavy.

She had resolved Spirit Fox Island's major crisis, allowing the island to continue existing safely in the Zero Desolate Sea Area. However, the conditions Hong Yuan had laid out were already putting immense pressure on her.

Hong Yuan was cunning. He intentionally pushed right up against Spirit Fox Island's psychological limits to maximize his leverage, making Huan Yuelong feel aggrieved, yet able to accept the terms through gritted teeth.

A small Tao Enlightenment Stone every five years, a medium Tao Enlightenment Stone every fifty years, plus other heavenly materials and earthly treasures... Xuan Guangqiao is treating our Spirit Fox Island like a pig for slaughter! When will days like these ever end? Huan Yuelong lamented internally.

She had never felt such an intense desire to achieve the Demon Saint Realm.

「… …」

Elsewhere, after Demon Beast Hong Yuan saw off the last guest, he immediately rushed to the Black Dragon Palace to thank the Black Dragon Demon Saint.

After the journey, Hong Yuan finally returned to his Ice Armor Python cavern to tally his massive gains for the day.

This Transformation Party had yielded him a great deal. His previously empty personal vault was not only refilled, but the radiant, colorful glow it emitted was now even brighter.

The first category of items was universally accepted currency within the Demon Clan, such as Demon Essence Stones and Moon Qiong Paste.

Hong Yuan had acquired almost 2,000,000 Demon Essence Stones, instantly becoming one of the wealthiest demons in the Zero Desolate Sea Area. The amount of Moon Qiong Paste was so vast he couldn't even count it all.

These two types of items alone represented more than two years' worth of trade volume for a large island clan.

Once I've absorbed the Demon Essence Stones and Moon Qiong Paste, I should be able to advance my 'Cold Moon Dragon' cultivation manual to the initiation realm. By then, even if my strength hasn't reached the level of a fourth-order Great Demon, it won't be far off. Hong Yuan thought excitedly, a smile on his face.

Even if he did nothing else, not seeking out any trials, he could keep advancing just with these two resources.

The second category of items consisted of weapons and equipment that could enhance combat strength, such as sabers, spears, internal armor, and outer armor.

Silver Armor Dragon Scale Armor, Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear, Wild Earth Elephant Internal Armor…

Hong Yuan bent down to caress these pieces of equipment, a smile playing on his lips.

With this gear, his ability to stay alive would drastically improve.

Even if he participated in the sea region defense battles, he could afford to act boldly on the front lines!

Of course, he would absolutely not participate in dangerous events like the sea region defense battles.

This silver robe is a bit too eye-catching. Should I dye it black or grey? No, no, this is a fifth-tier battle armor specially gifted by the Demon Saint! Hong Yuan decisively dismissed the thought.

The Silver Armor Dragon Scale Armor and the Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear were both fifth-tier armaments, extremely precious and practically priceless.

Hong Yuan himself was puzzled by the Black Dragon Demon Saint's magnanimity, which seemed to exceed the normal bounds of a godfather-godson relationship.

If not for this, the Great Demons would not have been so astonished at Hong Yuan's standing in the Black Dragon Demon Saint's eyes.

The third category of items was directly consumable heavenly materials and earthly treasures!

Spirit Monkey Wine, Cold Spring Spirit, Magma Spirit…

These rare and exotic treasures were foundational to their respective clans, usually consumed internally. If Hong Yuan hadn't leveraged the Black Dragon Demon Saint's prestige, he couldn't have obtained them so easily.

Hong Yuan had tasted Spirit Monkey Wine before; it could significantly increase his Life Span and aptitude.

The Cold Spring Spirit was a unique treasure of the Winter Roaring Lion clan; consuming it enhanced one's affinity with the Ice Tao. The Magma Spirit was a unique treasure of the Flame Tiger Clan; consuming it increased one's control over the Fire Tao.

Suddenly, Hong Yuan remembered the Fusion Gold Spirit, which was as renowned as the Cold Spring Spirit and Magma Spirit. He began searching for it among this third category of items.

No Fusion Gold Spirit? The Golden Tiger Shark clan only sent Demon Essence Stones and Moon Qiong Paste. They're not as generous as the Winter Roaring Lion or Flame Tiger clans.

Hong Yuan frowned slightly as he scanned the register inscribed on a wooden slip.

However, Hong Yuan quickly made a mental note of the Golden Tiger Shark Group; he would definitely teach them how to be proper demons when the opportunity arose!

The final category of items, and the one Hong Yuan was most concerned about, consisted of rare treasures like medium and small Tao Enlightenment Stones. These could help his main body refine escape and killing techniques.

Two medium Tao Enlightenment Stones, nine small Tao Enlightenment Stones, and one jade slip containing an Illusion Tao cultivation method. Huan Yuelong really held back for so long; she deserves some credit for that.

Hong Yuan suddenly thought, then chuckled in an unscrupulous manner.

He had fleeced Spirit Fox Island practically bare; no wonder their Island Master considered offering herself to the tiger…
