Liu You and Nian Duanyan brought them to a shoal.
This shoal was located inside a huge cave, where there were also some naturally - formed stalactites and spar.
Under Shen Qing's body were all round gravels, interspersed with glowing crystals.
Liu You and Nian Duanyan had already tied the An sisters to an upright cross.
The cross was stained with blood, indicating that many people had lost their lives on it.
When she was carried down by Nian Duanyan just now, Nian Duanyan took the opportunity to touch her hand twice, which almost disgusted Shen Qing.
When Scar was carried down by the two of them, seeing the right moment, Plum Blossom Lady gave an order. Those who had seemed unconscious just now all summoned their natal magical tools and stood menacingly in front of Nian Duanyan and Liu You.
Nian Duanyan and Liu You never expected that they would wake up. They panicked and tried to run away, but were controlled by Scar.
Plum Blossom Lady sneered coldly and kicked Nian Duanyan hard in the chest.
"Even though I've disguised myself like this, you still try to take advantage of me. Aren't you disgusting?"
Wutong darkened his face. Hearing that Nian Duanyan had taken advantage of Plum Blossom Lady, he clenched his fist and punched Nian Duanyan in the face.
Liu You was still in a panic. Seeing Nian Duanyan being beaten to the ground, she just knelt there, trembling and not daring to say a word.
After the others had vented their anger, Liu You said tremblingly, "Fellow Daoists, let's talk this over. We just saw you were sleeping soundly, so we moved you down to fish together. We didn't mean any harm. It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
But no one would believe Liu You. Plum Blossom Lady put her hands on her hips and cursed, "What? Do you want me to count for you if the number of the racks you prepared is just right for our number?"
"If you hadn't thought it was too troublesome to tie us up, we would have had to find ways to get out. Who would believe such a lame excuse of yours?"
As she said, Plum Blossom Lady took off the bag on her back and showed a strange sneer at the corner of her mouth.
"I've traveled in the Nine Wastelands for so long and have never been tricked like this. Since you've made me lose face, how can I not return the favor!"
Seeing that Plum Blossom Lady wouldn't let her go, Liu You turned to Scar, Shen Qing and the others, kowtowing and begging for mercy, "Fellow Daoists, I'm just a weak woman. Please spare me! You can do whatever you want to him, as long as you can spare me."
Liu You pointed at Nian Duanyan and quickly distanced herself.
"I did all these because he forced me. If you want revenge, just go after him. Please spare me!"
Nian Duanyan's spiritual power was sealed. His mouth was full of blood. He stared at Liu You with wide - open eyes in disbelief.
His mouth opened and closed, but only blood flowed out. He couldn't speak.
But even so, he still managed to stretch out his finger and pointed at Liu You tremblingly, his eyes full of hatred, as if cursing.
Seeing this, Liu You turned her eyes away with a look of disgust, "There's a saying in the mortal world that husband and wife are like birds in the same forest. When disaster strikes, each will fly away. Now that you've caused trouble, you can't expect me to take the blame for you!"
"By the way, since that's the case, I'll lift the spell on you. Anyway, you don't need it anymore!"
Liu You was scared as she made several hand seals and murmured words. As her incantation went on, the pockmarks on Liu You's face quickly disappeared, and her short stature became slender.
In a short while, the ugly woman who had been kneeling there turned into a charming beauty.
On the contrary, Nian Duanyan slowly turned into an ugly old man. Lying there, he seemed like a completely different person.
Only then did Shen Qing know that Liu You was a seductive cultivator.
After a seductive cultivator had an intimate relationship with someone, they could exchange their appearances. An ugly person could become beautiful, and a beautiful person could become ugly. Their cultivation levels could also be shared.
Liu You must have attached herself to Nian Duanyan. Seeing that his cultivation was not low, she used her seductive skills.
Now that the matter was exposed, Liu You could no longer rely on Nian Duanyan, so she voluntarily lifted the spell between them.
When A Zuo and A You saw Liu You become beautiful, their eyes glistened with greed.
Seeing that her charm could still arouse A Zuo and A You's interest, Liu You knelt in front of them coquettishly and pleaded, "My lords, if you save my life, from now on, you'll be my benefactors. Whatever you want... I'll comply."
"Moreover, this place is complex. Without me as a guide, you won't be able to get out safely. Please spare my life and let me lead you out safely, okay?"
A Zuo rolled his eyes. Lusting after Liu You's body, he said, "What this woman said makes sense. We're not familiar with this place. Why don't we spare her life and deal with her after we get out of the South Sea safely."
Plum Blossom Lady originally didn't want to spare Liu You, but Wutong pulled on her sleeve and nodded. Only then did Plum Blossom Lady give a cold snort.
"Desire is like a sword hanging over your head. Don't let yourselves be ruined by this woman."
Plum Blossom Lady also knew that this cave was in a remote location and they really needed someone to lead them out. So she temporarily vented all her hatred on Nian Duanyan.
She took out a special medicine and sprinkled some powder on Nian Duanyan. Immediately afterwards, the bag she had placed on the ground suddenly began to vibrate violently.
Under everyone's horrified gazes, her bag was opened, and one by one, terrifying - looking babies crawled out. They opened their mouths, showing their sharp teeth, and crawled towards Nian Duanyan.
Nian Duanyan shouted in fear, but because of his serious injuries, his voice was as weak as a mosquito's. He could only lie on the ground helplessly, watching in horror as the babies got closer and closer to him.
The babies crawled on Nian Duanyan, bit into his flesh and greedily ate his flesh and blood.
The scene was too bloody. Shen Qing felt a bit uncomfortable. Reminded of the scene of her being dismembered by monsters in her previous life, she turned her eyes away uncomfortably.
Li Xian knew that Shen Qing didn't want to see such a scene, so he put his arm around her and walked a bit further away.
Everyone just thought Shen Qing was timid and didn't pay much attention.
In a short while, the babies had gnawed Nian Duanyan into a skeleton. After they were full, they obediently crawled back into Plum Blossom Lady's bag.
Plum Blossom Lady patted the bag proudly and said, "My babies, you've worked hard. Have a good rest."
Scar and the other two looked pale. When they saw Plum Blossom Lady again, they didn't even dare to meet her eyes.
Liu You shrank behind Scar, tightly grasping his robe. Her autumn - water - like eyes were full of fear.
"Alright, stop staring at me. The revenge has been taken. Untie those two women and let's go back to the boat."
A Zuo and A You stepped forward actively, untied the ropes binding the An sisters, and each carried one in their arms.
But at this moment, the water in the shoal suddenly rose. In an instant, it reached everyone's feet.
