The divide between mortals and immortals is vast.
If Evan Chen hadn't restrained his immortal aura, the young girl's foot would have shattered upon contact with his body.
"Stella, no wonder you dislike the Taihao Sect. Your sect harbors such shameless individuals, eavesdropping on us while we bathe!"
The girl named Scarlett had already drawn her spirit sword from her waist.
The other girl, named Stella, quickly stepped back. Upon closer inspection, she realized that this person wasn't a disciple of her sect. He looked vaguely familiar, but she couldn't recall where she had seen him before.
"Sister Scarlett, he's not my Senior or Junior Brother. I have no idea where he came from!" Stella explained.
"Then he's an outsider, a shameless pervert! Stand up!" Scarlett demanded sternly.
Evan Chen slowly got up from the grass, looking displeased. "Are you blind? A living person this big lying here, and you didn't see me?"
Stella was furious. "You shameless pervert! This Spirit Spring is a sacred place of our sect. How dare you trespass and then blame us!"
Scarlett coldly said, "There's no need to talk to him. This pervert was hiding in the grass, surely peeping at us. If we don't gouge out his eyes, how can we vent our anger!"
Evan Chen nonchalantly replied, "Everything has its order. I was here sunbathing long before you arrived. It's your fault for not noticing and undressing to enter the spring. How is that my problem?"
That tone… it sounded so familiar.
Stella finally recognized Evan Chen. "So it's you! I haven't even settled the score with you for stealing my thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones! Tell me, did you peek at me and Sister Scarlett or not?"
Evan Chen lazily said, "So what if I did? So what if I didn't? My eyes are on my body. I look where I want. What's it to you?"
Shameless!
Stella's body trembled slightly. This shameless person had indeed peeked at her and Sister Scarlett, making her both ashamed and angry.
At this moment, Scarlett, standing nearby, revealed her killing intent. "You lowly scoundrel! You stole my sister's Spirit Stones and spied on us bathing. If I don't kill you, it's against the heavens!"
"Unreasonable." Evan Chen shook his head lightly. "Fine, I admit my bad luck today. If you dare to act recklessly again, I won't let it slide."
"You!"
The two girls were trembling with anger.
In this world, there were actually such shameless people, completely shattering their worldview.
In a fit of rage, Scarlett was the first to strike with her sword.
She had just advanced to the Elemental Infant stage a few days ago and had received her master's true sword techniques, so she wasn't afraid of the villain in front of her.
Unexpectedly, her sword strike hit nothing but air. When she looked again, Evan Chen's figure was already in mid-air.
"Huai Zhen, let's go!"
Evan Chen called out from the air, and a dark shadow immediately darted out from the bushes behind, escaping even faster than Evan Chen.
"He has an accomplice! This is infuriating!"
Watching the two figures disappear, they couldn't catch up.
Whether out of anger or shame, the two girls' faces were already flushed red.
After such an unpleasant incident, Scarlett soon took her leave, preparing to return to her sect to call for people to track down the pervert and swear to capture him and tear him to pieces.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Scarlett returned to the Shining Moon Sect, she was urgently summoned by the sect leader.
"Master, you called for me so urgently, what's the matter?"
Scarlett bowed and asked curiously.
This girl, Scarlett, was the very disciple Donald Yuan had mentioned before, her full name being Scarlett Yao.
Donald Yuan put down the teacup in his hand and gestured for Scarlett to sit down. "Xue'er, I have arranged a marriage for you. What do you think?"
Scarlett had been taken in as Donald Yuan's last disciple at the age of eleven. Due to her outstanding talent and obedient nature, Donald Yuan valued her highly and treated her like his own daughter.
Originally, Scarlett was still angry, but upon hearing that her master wanted to arrange a marriage for her, her face turned slightly red, and she became shy.
"Master, I'm still young and haven't been cultivating for long. Rushing into a marriage might not be appropriate." Scarlett lowered her head and spoke softly, then added, "By the way, who is this person? What is his character and appearance like?"
"Hahaha."
Donald Yuan could see that this little girl had someone in mind and couldn't help but laugh.
"The other party is the founder of a sect, with a refined and carefree personality, truly a dragon among men." Donald Yuan himself had never met the immortal expert, but this was what the ancestor had said. If the reality didn't match the reputation, she could blame the ancestor.
"The founder of a sect?" Scarlett was stunned for a moment and then said, "Wouldn't he be thousands of years old, like an old man?"
"Watch your words! Don't speak nonsense!" Donald Yuan lightly scolded. "According to your ancestor, the other party is tall and handsome, looking about your age. If he takes a liking to you, it would be a blessing earned over ten lifetimes."
"…"
Scarlett was immediately dissatisfied.
In the Islet Prefecture, there were countless young talents. Since she was fourteen, there had been numerous suitors. Was there really someone she couldn't match?
"I want to see what kind of person he is, that even I am not good enough for him." Scarlett said angrily.
"Tomorrow, I will prepare a grand gift, and you will personally deliver it. If he takes a liking to you, you will stay. Whether you become his wife or concubine will depend on your own abilities." Donald Yuan instructed.
Scarlett: "???"
Is Master out of his mind?
What kind of marriage arrangement is this, where I have to bring a grand gift myself?
Where in the world is there such a thing?
"Master, be honest… you're not selling me off, are you?"
"Nonsense, I treat you like my own daughter. How could I sell you? This is an opportunity, and whether you can seize it depends on your own fate. You'll understand tomorrow."
…
Back at the True Immortal Sect's residence.
Evan Chen lay in his Forbidden Palace courtyard, with several newly purchased maidservants attending to him.
"Ah."
Evan opened his mouth, and a pure and beautiful girl fed him a peeled grape.
"Young Master, these girls were bought at a high price. Are you satisfied?" Shirley was also waiting nearby.
Evan glanced at the maidservants. Each one was beautiful and had a great figure. In terms of appearance alone, they were all top-notch beauties.
However, their cultivation levels were low, lacking the spiritual energy that Shirley had, making them inferior.
Even so, Evan was quite satisfied.
Without the cross-realm stone, he wouldn't know where he would be wandering in the Immortal World, let alone enjoying such earthly pleasures.
People, whether mortal or immortal, should be content.
"Not bad, you've done well." Evan closed his eyes in satisfaction and then instructed, "From now on, you all will follow Shirley's arrangements. As long as you serve me well, there will be plenty of rewards."
"Yes, Young Master." The girls responded in unison.
Shirley, pleased with Evan's praise, arranged, "Kimberly, the Young Master is tired from his outing today. Massage his legs. Jessica, massage his shoulders. And you…"
"Ah, comfortable."
Surrounded and attended by the maidservants, Evan finally felt like he was living a godly life.
After relaxing for a while, Evan said, "Shirley, have you taught your special techniques to the maidservants?"
Shirley was taken aback, thinking to herself that she didn't have any special techniques.
"Ah… Young Master, are you referring to those binding techniques?" Shirley blushed, thinking that she only knew some basic skills. It was the Young Master who had developed many new moves during their practice sessions.
"Don't play dumb." Evan grinned.
Shirley, knowing Evan's thoughts, felt her heart race. "I haven't taught them yet. While the Young Master hasn't gone into seclusion, I humbly request that you guide them with me."
The maidservants helped Evan up, and he looked at each of the beauties, each with their own unique charm. "Hmm, that's a good suggestion. I'll take the trouble today to personally instruct you all."
