Half an hour ago…
In a lavish chamber tucked deep within the sect, far from the roaring cheers of the Dueling Arena, a woman lounged gracefully on a luxurious bed.
She watched the Monthly Dueling Event unfold on a massive Spiritual Screen, a crystal wine cup delicately held in her hand.
She took a sip, savoring the taste as a delighted sigh escaped her lips.
"Kyaaa… This is divine. I can feel my entire body being rejuvenated," she murmured with pleasure.
A sly smile curved her lips as she swirled the wine in her cup.
"A decade… It's been a full decade since I last tasted this. And to think—I caught its scent the very day I arrived at the Supreme Dao Sect."
"How could I possibly miss it? Naturally, I helped myself to a bottle from the Sect Master's Premium Wine Collection…"
She let out a soft chuckle.
"What would he do if he found out, I wonder?"
Her voice was playful, tinged with amusement.
