Chapter 37

More importantly, inside this warm pavilion, there were actually more than a dozen young maidens, dressed in thin clothing, dancing and singing lightly.

These maidens were all graceful and beautiful, their dances extremely alluring, occasionally revealing their fair arms and beautiful legs, tempting one to sin.

Lu Xuan had never seen such a sensual scene before, and for a moment, he was completely entranced, his body involuntarily stirring with a primitive desire.

Seemingly noticing that Lu Xuan was unmoved, these women became even bolder, one by one shedding their clothes. Already scantily dressed, they now became completely naked, their full breasts and beautiful buttocks displayed before Lu Xuan. The entire warm pavilion was filled with a spring-like atmosphere, and a seductive mood instantly arose.

Lu Xuan felt a surge of heat throughout his body, his blood flowing faster, and his heart pounding.

He immediately dared not look anymore, tightly closing his eyes, trying to drive everything he had just seen from his mind.

But it was not over yet. Just as he closed his eyes, a fragrant breeze suddenly came, and a pair of soft hands began to caress his body, extremely provocative. These women had actually come to his side!

Lu Xuan could no longer hold back. If this continued, he would really be embarrassed. He suddenly shouted, "Get lost!"

With the word "get lost" out of his mouth, the women surrounding Lu Xuan instantly vanished.

Slowly opening his eyes, he saw that all the women were indeed gone. Lu Xuan let out a long breath, feeling as if that shout had used up all his strength.

But then he realized something was wrong. Why was he still here?

Just as Lu Xuan was puzzled, a figure suddenly appeared behind the screen in the warm pavilion. Although obscured by a light veil, it was clear that the figure had a very good figure.

Then, the woman slowly walked toward Lu Xuan. As she lifted the veil, a face of extraordinary beauty appeared before Lu Xuan—it was Xia Chenxi!

"I knew you wouldn't be tempted by these things," Xia Chenxi said, looking at Lu Xuan, her eyes twinkling with a smile.

She slowly walked to Lu Xuan's front, and before he could speak, she continued, "Lu Xuan, I have already spoken to my father, and he has agreed to our union. From now on, you must be devoted to me."

With that, Xia Chenxi gently embraced Lu Xuan, slowly leaning against his chest, a satisfied smile on her face.

Lu Xuan was momentarily dazed, involuntarily reaching out to hold Xia Chenxi. Holding such a beautiful woman, Lu Xuan felt a strong desire not to let go, a feeling of contentment that with a woman like this, he had no regrets in life.

At that moment, Lu Xuan suddenly came to his senses, "No! I am determined to pursue the path of martial arts; I cannot be entranced by the pleasures of the flesh!"

Realizing this, Lu Xuan pushed the beautiful woman away with all his might.

Xia Chenxi, pushed by Lu Xuan, looked up, her face full of surprise. Seeing Lu Xuan's determined gaze, she seemed to understand something, and tears welled up in her eyes. She said pitifully, "Why? Don't you like me anymore?"

Xia Chenxi was already extremely beautiful, and now with her tearful appearance, few men could resist. But at that moment, Lu Xuan's mind was clear, and although he wanted to comfort her, he remained unmoved.

"No, I don't want you to leave me. I don't believe you don't like me," Xia Chenxi suddenly looked up, as if making a decision. Then, something happened that Lu Xuan never expected—Xia Chenxi suddenly took off her clothes.

In an instant, a nearly perfect, naked body was presented before Lu Xuan. Seeing this, Lu Xuan was completely stunned, and Xia Chenxi immediately rushed forward, tightly embracing him.

Feeling the heat and elasticity from Xia Chenxi's body, Lu Xuan's heart was instantly thrown into chaos. He had been able to resist the other women, but now he was facing Xia Chenxi.

No, it's fake, all of it is fake!

Lu Xuan tightly closed his eyes, completely ignoring Xia Chenxi, maintaining his resolve and keeping his mind clear, ignoring everything around him.

"Old Ninth, the Lu Xuan you chose did well in the first two stages, but he has been stuck in the lust stage for a long time. The incense is almost half burned," Elder Sun laughed.

Originally, Long Tai had lost to Lu Xuan in the second stage, the slaughter stage, and Elder Sun's face had been somewhat sour. But now, seeing Lu Xuan unable to break free from the lust stage, he was smiling broadly.

At this moment, Long Tai had just passed the second stage, the slaughter stage, and entered the lust stage, putting him back on the same starting line as Lu Xuan. If Long Tai could quickly pass, he would still have an advantage, and Elder Sun was naturally in a good mood.

Uncle Nine smiled faintly and said, "Since ancient times, heroes have found it hard to resist the allure of beautiful women. It is very normal for young people to have someone they like. A martial artist with feelings and principles is much stronger than those who only know how to kill."

His words were clearly a subtle jab at Elder Sun, implying that Long Tai had been stuck in the slaughter stage for a long time.

At this moment, Xia Chenxi and Lin Xinyi were not paying attention to what Uncle Nine and the others were saying. Both women had slightly red faces, each lost in their own thoughts, curious and eager to know who Lu Xuan was thinking of while in the lust stage.

Seeing that Lu Xuan was firmly maintaining his resolve and ignoring her, Xia Chenxi, with her tearful appearance, could only leave helplessly.

Now, I should have passed the stage... Lu Xuan thought to himself. Just as he opened his eyes, another woman ran over, this time it was Lin Xinyi.

Having learned from Xia Chenxi's example, Lu Xuan smartly closed his eyes and began to practice the Taiyi Guizhuan, completely ignoring Lin Xinyi.

Facing the impenetrable Lu Xuan, Lin Xinyi disappeared even faster. When Lu Xuan opened his eyes again, the warm pavilion had vanished, and the third stage, the lust stage, was finally broken.

"Lu Xuan has broken the third stage," Xia Chenxi was the first to notice the change in Lu Xuan, and she said with some joy, seeing Lu Xuan take the lead again, which naturally made her happy.

Uncle Nine just smiled and nodded, not saying much, but Elder Sun's face turned sour again, muttering to himself, "Long Tai is really no good! He wasted a chance to catch up. He was stuck in the second stage for so long, and now he's stuck in the third stage again."

By the time Lu Xuan broke the third stage, fewer martial artists remained on the trial sword platform. Those who had failed in the second stage were either scared by the mountain of corpses and sea of blood or completely controlled by their killing intent, becoming killing machines. All of them were eliminated.

Yao Lei was still on the platform, but his progress was extremely slow. He had just broken the first stage and looked extremely exhausted. No one knew what had happened to him in the first stage.

At this moment, Lu Xuan had arrived at the fourth stage. The scene was one he was very familiar with, as it was the place where he had lived for over a decade—Qingshan Town!
