The two stunningly beautiful women didn't move, but their delicate faces were filled with overwhelming killing intent. Their beautiful eyes burned with fury as they glared at him sideways—they couldn't even turn their heads.
"Um… ladies, aren't you cold? Why aren't you wearing anything? I feel freezing," Shen Xiang blurted out, unsure of what to say.
At that moment, the cold and noble-looking woman with a frosty expression snapped, "Take one more step forward, and I'll make you suffer pain worse than death!"
Although her voice was ethereal and clear, it lacked emotion, leaving a sense of something missing amidst her beauty. Like her voice, her expression and aura were icy, as if she kept all others at a thousand-mile distance. Her eyes gleamed with chilling murderous intent.
"Young man, if you dare approach, I'll make you regret ever being born into this world!" the other woman said softly. Her voice was as enchanting as silver bells, dripping with seductive allure that could steal a soul. She was an extraordinary beauty, so stunningly alluring it seemed ingrained in her very bones.
Faced with this enticing scene, Shen Xiang, a young man with no experience with women, was deeply tempted. Though he didn't consider himself a noble gentleman, he also wasn't a depraved villain. Seeing that the two women couldn't move, he had no intention of taking advantage of them.
He steadied his mind and spoke respectfully, "Ladies, I didn't mean to intrude. I was gathering herbs on the cliff above and got shaken down here. The fact that I'm still alive is already a miracle."
As he spoke, Shen Xiang took out two large robes and approached the icy woman. Realizing the women couldn't move and would feel embarrassed, he decided to cover their exposed bodies first.
As Shen Xiang gazed at her flawless body from such close range, the icy woman closed her eyes and endured the burning heat of his gaze, trembling slightly. A bone-chilling killing aura emanated from her, sending a shiver down Shen Xiang's spine.
Drenched in cold sweat, Shen Xiang reluctantly draped the robe over her body. She let out a soft hum, and her expression eased slightly, no longer radiating such intense murderous intent.
Then he walked over to the seductive woman, who greeted him with a captivating smile. Blushing slightly, Shen Xiang took a deep breath and gently covered her with the robe.
His actions filled both women with gratitude and a touch of guilt. Earlier, they had threatened him and even caused him to fall down the cliff. If not for his luck, he could've died. But now, not only had he not taken advantage of them, he had even helped cover them up.
Both women sighed in relief. Shen Xiang's restraint impressed them greatly—they knew well just how irresistible they looked in their current helpless state.
"Ladies, have you been stuck down here for a long time? Can you tell me how to get back up? I can't stay here forever—I have important things to do," Shen Xiang said, clearly a bit discouraged.
The seductive woman smiled softly and said, "Little brother, I can see you don't have a spiritual vein. That means you'll never step into the realm of martial power. But… I can grant you a Supreme Yang Divine Vein, teach you powerful divine arts, and show you how to refine pills. I'll help you become a powerful warrior—but I have one condition."
She threw him a charming wink, sending a ripple through Shen Xiang's heart. Her words shocked him. He could tell the two women were incredibly powerful, though now severely injured. But what could he possibly do to help them?
The icy woman's eyes sparkled as she said coldly, "Boy, I'll grant you a Supreme Yin Divine Vein and teach you my demonic arts. They're no weaker than my junior sister's divine skills. We don't go back on our word."
Shen Xiang was stunned. A high-grade spiritual vein already marked someone as a genius. Above that were Mystic Veins, then Heavenly Veins, and above all… Divine Veins!
Owning a Divine Vein was legendary and incredibly powerful!
"Did you two hit your heads falling down here? Don't mess with me, I don't have time for jokes," Shen Xiang replied, still skeptical despite his shock.
"If you gain what we offer, becoming a strong warrior won't be hard. But you must help us recover our strength," the seductive woman said, her voice sweet enough to melt his bones.
The icy woman added, "We were severely injured and trapped here by an enemy. Our meridians, bones, dantian, and internal organs are all ruined—we're basically crippled. Powerful beasts often roam this place, and we have to get out."
In their current state, completely immobile and helpless, they were prey for any monster. Shen Xiang's sudden appearance was their only hope.
"You have no choice but to believe us. Otherwise, you'll never leave here alive," the seductive woman said seriously.
Shen Xiang found it hard to believe they could casually grant Divine Veins or possessed such mystical powers. But given the situation, he had to trust them.
With a sigh, Shen Xiang said, "My name is Shen Xiang. What are your names, ladies? I hope you're not just playing me."
The icy woman replied coldly, "Bai Youyou."
The seductive woman smiled sweetly and said, "Su Meiyao."
Shen Xiang smiled. "Your names suit you perfectly. So what do I do next?"
Su Meiyao said, "We'll form a blood contract to ensure mutual trust. After all, we'll be spending a long time together. Transferring a Divine Vein is simple. My senior sister and I both have dual Divine Veins. Giving you one won't affect us."
Dual Divine Veins! Shen Xiang's lips twitched in disbelief, but he couldn't hide his excitement. These two powerful women would be relying on him for a long time. For a man, that sounded like a dream.
Bai Youyou said coldly, "We don't know each other well. A blood contract will prevent betrayal."
Su Meiyao briefly explained the concept and detailed the steps. The ritual was simple—use the blood of all three to soak a beast hide, draw the blood contract sigils, write the terms, and drip fresh blood to seal it. Once complete, the contract bound their souls, making its terms deeply felt by all parties.
After completing the contract, Shen Xiang was awed by the mystical technique. He now believed everything the two women had said. His heart raced with excitement—he would be spending a long time with two incredible beauties, and his useless life was about to be completely transformed.
Just like that, the heavenly beauties and Shen Xiang made their pact.
"Are you unable to move because your bones and meridians are damaged?" Shen Xiang asked. He had just collected some Hell Ganoderma, which could heal bones and flesh—perfect for their condition.
Bai Youyou nodded. "Our enemy is powerful. Because of the blood contract between us, she couldn't kill us directly. So she crippled us and left us here to die."
Shen Xiang had saved them from that fate, so they were willing to give him one of their Divine Veins.
He was deeply shocked. These two women, possessing dual Divine Veins, were already incredibly strong. But their enemy was even stronger, enough to reduce them to this state.
"I picked some Hell Ganoderma from the cliff wall—would that help your recovery?" Shen Xiang asked. He was about to receive Divine Veins, so he didn't hesitate to offer it.
Su Meiyao's face lit up. "Of course! That'll let us move again very soon."
Smiling warmly, Shen Xiang divided a large piece of the Hell Ganoderma and fed it to the women. Feeding such beauties was a rare delight.
Although it couldn't fully heal them, the Ganoderma restored their shattered bones enough to let them walk. But they still had no power.
"Who exactly are you two? And who is this terrifying enemy of yours?" Shen Xiang asked, his curiosity overflowing.
Bai Youyou shot him a cold glance. "The contract didn't require us to tell you that—I don't have to answer."
Su Meiyao gently adjusted her hair and said, "Don't ask. It's too dangerous. You're just a small fry. Knowing too much could get you killed. Now let's begin transferring the Divine Veins."
