After transmigrating into a book, Yan Ran unlocked a skill called Allure. In the cultivation world, the pretty young man climbed the ranks one step at a time with a face of breathtaking beauty, putting on countless secret identities.
Then, those who didn't know the truth discovered something startling: are beautiful people a hallmark of the demonic path?
The king of the Hehuan Sect, who cultivates by absorbing yin to nourish yang, whose smile brings spring to the ages.
The Venerable Lord of the Ten Thousand Poisons Valley, ruthless and cold-hearted, with skin like ice and bones like jade.
The master of the Puppet Pavilion, with a thousand faces, each as beautiful as jade.
Yan Ran: Thanks for asking. I'm not only beautiful, I can fight too. My secret identities are everywhere, and nobody does a better job of antagonizing the righteous path than me.
So Yan Ran stole chickens from the righteous path today, swiped their dogs tomorrow, and went straight to provoke their leader the day after. He had the time of his life being a little menace.
At last, Yan Ran went a little too far.
Huo Shen, leader of the righteous path, smiled gently and seized Yan Ran by the wrist. "Beautiful one, where do you think you're running?"
Yan Ran was pinned down and couldn't break free. In desperation, he expertly used the Allure skill he'd already maxed out.
Suddenly, he felt warmth against his chest. Huo Shen had pulled Yan Ran straight into his arms.
The man's grip was astonishingly strong, and the crisp scent of white musk filled Yan Ran's nose.
The righteous path's sworn enemy, who had always been at odds with Yan Ran, now had his eyes half closed in lazy contentment. His smile was like a gentle breeze, enough to bring dead wood back to life.
"You spend every night drinking wine and listening to music with me at the Hehuan Sect. The Ten Thousand Poisons Valley sends you life-saving herbs, and the Puppet Pavilion keeps you company over chess and heart-to-heart talks... Beautiful one, you should know to be grateful."
Yan Ran remembered. There really was an anonymous master of the qin at the Hehuan Sect. He really had met a benefactor who saved his life when he'd been injured in the Ten Thousand Poisons Valley. And there really was a puppet in the Puppet Pavilion that had somehow gained self-awareness...
#Help, what do I do after using Allure on my nemesis and blowing my secret identities?#
