Chapter 598: Mu Peiling asks for help, and another beauty comes to her door?

"Buzz!"

Amidst the thunderous cheers of congratulations, the three Yuanying elders personally stepped forward to lead the way.

Qingmuzi held a purple gold crown, Chiyangzi held a nine-dragon jade pendant, and Xuanyinzi held a seven-treasure alchemy furnace that symbolized the supremacy of alchemy.

"Wait a minute."

Lei Dong suddenly stopped in front of the jade stage and glanced at the disciples below the stage.

Those female cultivators who had been harmed by the Jueyin Pill were now standing in the front row with tears in their eyes.

"Before today's ceremony, I have one thing to do first."

He just waved his sleeves, and 365 red pills flew into the air and fell accurately into the hands of each female cultivator.

"This is the Nine Yang Returning Origin Pill, which can cure the poison of the Jueyin Pill."

Lei Dong said in a gentle voice, "After taking this, the energy you lost will be restored to its original state within three months."

"Thank you for your grace, Grand Elder!"

The female disciples knelt on the ground and kowtowed, many of them weeping.

Song Yu and Liu Yu looked at each other, their beautiful eyes filled with pride.

And among those envious eyes, there was one that was very special.

The owner of the gaze is a super beauty, Mu Peiling, who is in charge of the medicine garden.

Before, when Lei Dong used Han Li's pseudonym, he had dealt with him several times when he went there to collect herbs.

There was even a hint of ambiguous interaction!

"So your name is Lei Dong. I didn't expect you to be an old demon!"

At this moment, Mu Peiling was staring at Lei Dong with her eyes shining brightly and her upper and lower lips tightly clenched together.

Her jade hands kept clenching.

It seems like he is having some psychological struggle!

Mu Peiling stood in the crowd, wearing a light blue gauze dress dancing in the wind, like a spiritual flower blooming alone in a deep valley. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as paintings, but her pair of autumn-water eyes were flashing with complex light at this moment, staring closely at Lei Dong on the high platform.

Her beauty is completely different from Song Yu's gentleness and Liu Yu's cuteness.

Song Yu is like the moon, cool and bright; Liu Yu is like fire, bright and warm; and Mu Peiling is like a breeze, carrying the unique fragrance of plants and trees in the medicine garden, smart and mysterious.

Her lips were slightly pursed, and her pearly teeth bit her lower lip lightly, revealing a hint of stubbornness and unwillingness.

Her slender fingers unconsciously clenched the hem of her skirt, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

"So... you lied to me."

Her voice was so soft that almost only she could hear it, but the slightly trembling tone revealed the turmoil in her heart.

The man who called himself "Han Li" had come to the medicine garden several times to collect herbs. Every time he came, he would chat with her with a gentle smile.

He understood the properties of spiritual herbs and even taught her how to cultivate several rare spiritual herbs.

At that time, he had clear eyes and spoke calmly. He did not have the arrogance of a strong man at all. Instead, he looked like an ordinary cultivator.

She had thought that there might be something between them...

But now, he has transformed himself into the supreme elder of Luoyun Sect, and also the Taoist partner of Song Yu and Liu Yu!

"Sister Mu, what's wrong with you?"

The female disciple next to her noticed her abnormality and asked in a low voice.

Mu Peiling suddenly came back to her senses and forced a faint smile: "Nothing, it's just... the wind and sand blinded me."

She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings, hiding the loss in her eyes.

But just as she turned to leave——

"Pei Ling."

A deep and familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

Her whole body stiffened, and she slowly raised her head, meeting Lei Dong's deep eyes.

He actually called her name alone in front of everyone!

Mu Peiling shuddered all over, her autumn-water eyes slightly widened, as if she had a thousand words to say, but she bit her lower lip tightly and refused to speak.

Lei Dong's gaze narrowed, and he instantly realized that deep in her eyes there was a hint of grievance and fear that was hard to conceal - that was definitely not simple loss or jealousy, but... a request for help!

"Pei Ling, come here."

His voice was not loud, but it carried an irresistible majesty.

The whole place fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on Mu Peiling.

Her face turned pale, her fingertips unconsciously tightened her sleeves, but her steps seemed to be pulled by some force as she walked slowly forward.

Song Yu and Liu Yu looked at each other, a hint of doubt flashed in their eyes, but they did not say anything to stop him.

When Mu Peiling walked in front of the jade platform, Lei Dong suddenly raised his hand, and an invisible barrier enveloped the two of them, blocking them from all prying eyes from the outside world.

"Tell me, who is forcing you?"

He asked bluntly.

Mu Peiling's eyes turned red instantly, tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

Mu Peiling took a deep breath and finally spoke, her voice choking slightly:

"I...my family wants to send me to an alliance."

She raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

A hint of amusement flashed across Lei Dong's deep eyes.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, and with his long and strong arms he grasped Mu Peiling's slender waist, pulling her into his arms.

"Since the Mu family wants to send you out for marriage."

Lei Dong's deep voice carried an irresistible majesty, "How about you become my concubine?"

Mu Peiling's delicate body trembled violently, and her fair cheeks instantly turned red.

She subconsciously tried to break free, but found that Lei Dong's arm was as motionless as an iron hoop.

"you!"

She raised her head in embarrassment and met Lei Dong's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

There was both teasing and some seriousness in that look.

"how?"

Lei Dong raised his lips slightly, "Rather than marrying those unknown marriage partners, isn't it better to follow me, the 'old devil'?"

His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone present.

The entire square fell silent in an instant, and everyone stared at the scene in amazement.

Song Yu and Liu Yu smiled at each other, without any jealousy at all.

Song Yu said softly: "My husband has found us another sister."

Liu Yu clapped her hands and laughed, "Sister Mu's skill in cultivating spiritual medicine is unique. From now on, our medicine garden will have someone to take care of it!"

Mu Peiling's ears turned red with embarrassment, and her slender fingers unconsciously grabbed Lei Dong's collar.

She bit her lower lip and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "You already have two Taoist companions."

"so what?"

Lei Dong chuckled, and his warm breath brushed past her ears, "In the world of immortal cultivation, the strong are respected. There is no woman that I, Lei Dong, cannot get."

As he spoke, he suddenly leaned over and whispered in Mu Peiling's ear: "Besides, back in the medicine garden, didn't you also have a good impression of me, 'Han Li'?"

Mu Peiling trembled all over, and every detail of her time with "Han Li" emerged in her mind.

At that time, he was gentle and patient, and he taught her how to cultivate spiritual medicines, and occasionally brought her some rare spiritual herb seeds.

"I"

She opened her red lips slightly, but didn't know how to respond.

Seeing this, Lei Dong's smile deepened.

He suddenly turned around and said loudly to the audience: "Today I, Lei Dong, am adding another concubine. Do you have any objection?"

The two Yuanying elders looked at each other, and Qing Muzi laughed dryly: "The matter of the Grand Elder will naturally be decided by you."
