To simply put, it had no restraint.
After all, it was an adult novel.
Apart from the three main male leads from the human, demon, and beast races, Xiao Ran also had countless other male supporting characters.
In general, in the cultivation world, spirit realm, and immortal realm, any outstanding, handsome, and powerful man would more or less have some involvement with her.
Most of these men would later either become cannon fodder or be left behind because they could not keep up with her cultivation speed.
Of course, the three main male leads all had extraordinary backgrounds.
The human one was a reincarnation of a former Immortal Emperor among the Five Directions Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Realm.
The demon race one was a reincarnation fragment of a True Demon Emperor's soul.
The beast race one was even more extraordinary, being a divine beast, the Water Qilin.
The three male leads of the human race were born with noble bearing, naturally aristocratic, and incomparably handsome, accompanied by hundreds of lines of lavish praise describing their appearance and temperament.
One of them was a Deity Transformation stage disciple from the Holy Sword Sect, the number one sect in the cultivation world.
The demon race male lead was a disciple from the Heavenly Demon Sect, the strongest demonic sect in the Infernal Sky Continent.
When he met the heroine, he was in a period of recuperation after betrayal and cultivation regression, with a personality that was domineering, ruthless, and somewhat split in temperament.
The beast race male lead, the Water Qilin, was gentle and refined, with a soft and mild temperament.
Among the three male leads, he was the most popular with readers.
According to Yu Lin, he was originally supposed to be Xiao Shou's beast companion, but in the novel "Longevity Love," he instead formed an equal contract with Xiao Ran.
Of course, the heroine's boldness always had reasons.
Her behavior was caused by the vicious supporting female character Yu Lin who had poisoned her with the number one immortal aphrodisiac, "Dark Shadow Fragrance."
The original intention was to have a group of mortals defile Xiao Ran, forcing her into committing a massacre of mortals and thus damaging her luck.
However, she was saved by the Water Qilin.
But Dark Shadow Fragrance had no antidote and as long as her desires were not satisfied, it could erupt at any time.
Even a slight provocation from a man could trigger it.
It first involved the human male lead and the demon male lead, and later included those male supporting characters who admired her.
Because of this, the heroine's moral restraint naturally became weaker and weaker.
Throughout the novel, it was shown that once the male leads and supporting male characters saw her ice spirit root being purified and her advancement to the Golden Core stage, her originally cold and aloof expression would become wantonly seductive under their actions.
Later, after they ascended to the immortal realm, the story naturally included the human male lead defeating the former Immortal Emperor, killing the traitor, and reclaiming the throne.
The demon male lead would devour the remaining soul fragments of the True Demon Emperor and return to his original form, while the Water Qilin would obtain true Qilin blood and evolve into the Five Virtues Qilin.
Xiao Shou had originally intended to think about the world's geography, but his thoughts unexpectedly drifted into these matters, even reaching those male leads and supporting characters.
He shook his head and forced away those explicit and distracting scenes from the novel and refocusing his thoughts seriously.
What about other places?
Ah, he remembered.
In the Azure Origin City plot that occurred a hundred years later, it was written that the heroine, at the late Golden Core stage, went in search of a Nascent Soul opportunity.
Before entering Azure Origin City, she was once ambushed by two Golden Core late-stage cultivators, a pair of brothers.
Their equipment could actually conceal spiritual fluctuations, which was why they repeatedly succeeded in ambushes, even injuring the heroine when she was caught off guard.
In their inner monologue after being killed by Xiao Ran, it was mentioned that more than twenty years earlier, they were only ordinary early Foundation Establishment cultivators.
It was not until twenty-six years ago, when passing through Snowy Cave Mountain four thousand miles outside Azure Origin City and preparing to spend the night there, that the younger brother discovered on the southern mountainside near the forested slope a hundred-year-old Golden Origin Fruit.
It was the main ingredient of a Golden Core pill formula.
Even a hundred-year-old Golden Origin Fruit was worth over five hundred mid-grade spirit stones.
For the two impoverished brothers at that time, it was already a valuable treasure.
For some unknown reason, there was no guardian beast protecting it, so the two of them immediately began chiseling into the mountain wall and carefully harvesting it.
However, they did not expect that the roots of the hundred-year Golden Origin Fruit ran extremely deep.
The further they excavated, the deeper they went, until they had actually penetrated nearly ten meters into the mountain's interior, where they discovered an extremely dense spiritual energy that was almost in a liquefied state.
There were also many ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs growing there that did not require sunlight, along with a spiritual spring filled with dense energy.
After carefully investigating, they concluded that it was a small natural blessed cave heaven.
There was an unknown hidden spiritual vein there, and within the mountain rocks was a special metallic substance capable of isolating spiritual energy, preventing it from dispersing and instead allowing it to gather within the mountain's interior.
Because of this, from the outside, Snowy Cave Mountain appeared to have thin spiritual energy with only wild beasts and a small number of first-tier demonic beasts living there.
It was not hard to imagine how the two brothers later used the blessed land of Snowy Cave Mountain to cultivate and advance, extracting the insulating metal from the rocks to fund their robberies and quickly reaching the late Golden Core stage.
