It was not just him either.
All members of the party had no idea how to deal with this shameless woman!

All he had to do was just tolerate this woman’s antiques for a day, and it would all be over once they returned to Purple Plum Mountain!
“I knew you would agree!” Honey quickly got in her seat and tapped the spirit horse beside her. “Come! Sit next to me!”
“JuZhao,” Pu Feixiang returned Zhao Yunxiao’s earlier words to him.
“
The journey back was largely uneventful, as the group simply rested whenever the spirit horses needed a break.
Even as they rested at night, they made sure that two people were awake at any point in time, responsible for watching Honey and making sure she did not try anything funny.
***
“Hey...” Honey whispered as the spirit horses continued galloping towards their destination the next day.
Zhao Yunxiao: “...”
He kept his gaze focused on the road and completely ignored her whisper, pretending as though he could not hear her.
“Hey... I’m talking to you,” Honey said again. “Stop acting, I know that you could hear me all along.”
Indeed, this was not the first time that she had tried to talk to Zhao Yunxiao.
It was just that in all her previous attempts, she had simply accepted it when Zhao Yunxiao straight up ignored her.
This time, however, it seemed that she was not intending to let that slide.
“What is it?” Zhao Yunxiao answered coldly without looking at her.
While Honey kept her voice low enough for only Zhao Yunxiao to hear, Zhao Yunxiao chose not to control his volume.
“Not so loud!” Honey chided him. “And why aren’t you looking at me? I thought you orthodox cultivators emphasised respect and honour? Isn’t it basic respect to look at others when talking to them?”
“What is it?” Zhao Yunxiao took a deep breath before turning to ask her.
However, he still did not lower his volume.
So while the rest of the party could not hear Honey, they could all hear Zhao Yunxiao’s responses.
“Isn’t that better? Aren’t I attractive? I’m sure you feel better looking at me instead of the road too, right?” Honey shot him a coquettish look.
Zhao Yunxiao: “...”
“All right, all right,” Honey leaned in closer and whispered even more softly. “What do you say you help me escape?”
“Dream on. Why would I ever do something like that?” Zhao Yunxiao rolled his eyes in response.
“Of course I will make it worth your while if you do so, and your sect doesn’t have to know either,” Honey smirked. “For example, you can have plenty of riches that the Scarlet Leaf Sect has accumulated over the years. Or if that’s not enough, perhaps you can have your way with me as well...”
As she said that, Honey slowly pulled down her robe slightly from the neck, all the way down to reveal her collarbone.
“Not interested,” Zhao Yunxiao, however, was not tempted at all.
That said, Honey was indeed attractive.
And she had even added a charming technique to her voice, though it was greatly muted due to her meridians being sealed.
On top of that, most young men around Zhao Yunxiao’s age were full of vigour and curiosity.
Though they might not have readily accepted her proposal, most of them would have at least felt slightly moved upon hearing such words from her.
That was all she needed as well, as it would serve as a stepping stone to continue charming her target.
Unfortunately for her, Zhao Yunxiao had always been an extremely disciplined individual, perhaps a little too much in that regard, so such tricks would never work on him.
As if that was not enough, he had also been exposed to someone who was even more attractive than Honey over the past month, so that further helped to build his resistance against pretty girls.
To put it bluntly, she was simply targeting the wrong person this time.

Hearing Zhao Yunxiao’s curt reply caused Honey to finally furrow her brows.
She had not thought that things would go so easily either, but she had imagined some sort of response from Zhao Yunxiao at least.
Who knew that the latter would end up shutting her down so firmly?
“All right, enough joking around,” Honey said. “I’m actually serious when I say that you need to let me go now. Otherwise, the consequences are not something that you can even imagine.”

“You have no clue about what is going on. The Scarlet Leaf Sect’s plan is so profound that people like us don’t even deserve to be named as chess pieces, and the world will tremble soon enough when it is revealed,” Honey raised her voice for the first time to let everyone hear her. “This is my final warning. The Scarlet Leaf Sect will not allow any complications to the plan. So if you were to insist on bringing me back with you, I assure you that we will all be finished.”
“And I am guessing you are aware of these plans?” Zhao Yunxiao tried to probe. “Why don’t you share a bit of it with us, so that we can at least gauge whether you are speaking the truth?”
“You might be loyal to the Black Tortoise Sect, but I am loyal to the Scarlet Leaf Sect as well,” Honey answered. “And even if I wanted to, we will all be dead once the sect finds out that I revealed any part of the plan to you. If you let me go now, we can all live that much longer.”
“Forget it, Junior Martial Brother Zhao,” Chu Han said. “We are almost back by now. We can just let the sect administrators deal with her.”
“That won’t be happening,” Honey scoffed.
“And why woul-?” Chu Han was speaking halfway when he suddenly frowned. “She’s undoing the seal on her meridians!”

And with that, the ominous flames mercilessly swept over all five of them.
