Is the cultivation world now only populated by demonesses?

Chapter 5.5. A Fairy as Gentle as a Spring Breeze

It was accompanied by the clear sound of bells.

As the breeze dispersed the ripples on the lake's surface, a woman's voice rang out: "Does the Blood Demon Palace intend to wage war against my Jade Palace?"

The shadow beside the tree slowly solidified from illusion to reality, revealing a female fairy. Her exquisite figure was concealed by a snow-white robe, and beneath her slender eyebrows were a pair of eyes that were as gentle as spring sunshine yet clear. Unfortunately, her fairy face was further obscured by a snow-white veil, making one imagine the face of the fairy behind her.

The true teachings of Miaoyu Palace, the Four Realms of Heavenly Authority, Xia Lianxue.

If Qiu Yuehan's sword is cold to the bone, with an arrogance that freezes everything, then Xia Lianxue's sword is a gentle breeze, with a tenderness that soothes everything.

A flash of disappointment crossed Qiu Yuehan's eyes—she wanted to see what Lu Changyuan was capable of.

Lu Changyuan saw this and tossed the sword back to Qiu Yuehan: "Disappointed?"

He stared intently at Qiu Yuehan, but failed to see the relief of surviving a calamity in the fairy's eyes.

The Blood Demon Palace cultivator sneered, his words laced with disdain: "Xia Lianxue? Do you really intend to stop us?"

The veiled fairy said, "Why shouldn't I stop you?"

"Kill her, and you will become the next head of Miaoyu Palace."

"Shut up!" Xia Lianxue's sword was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, a finger fell to the ground. The foul-smelling blood corroded the ground, and then a pit appeared.

The man in black robes covered his hand: "Xia Lianxue, you'll regret this!"

The two departed amidst a mist of blood and a stench of carnage.

Xia Lianxue then turned around: "Senior sister, are you alright? I came as soon as I received your message, thankfully it's not too late."

If she really came to rescue Qiu Yuehan, she naturally wouldn't hunt down the Blood Demon Palace members; the wounded are more important than the enemy.

Qiu Yuehan shook her head: "Junior Sister arrived just in time."

"That's good."

Xia Lianxue smiled gently, her cascading black hair tied up with a single white jade hairpin, forming a cloud-like bun. Her eyebrows and eyes were as soft as willow branches: "I will take my senior sister back to the palace."

"Thank you for your trouble, junior sister."

What a wonderful show of fellow disciples helping each other!

Lu Changyuan glanced at Qiu Yuehan's pretty face for a moment, then looked at Xia Lianxue's gentle brows.

The two seem to have a very close sisterly relationship.

Is someone lying?
Xia Lianxue moved gracefully, supporting Qiu Yuehan's shoulder. In a moment, she took out a fragrant pill and fed it to Qiu Yuehan. Then, she frowned and whispered, "Senior Sister, do you know why the Blood Demon Palace wants to kill you?"

Qiu Yuehan shook her head and coughed up blood: "I don't know. The actions of the demonic path are unpredictable. They have wanted to kill me for a long time."

"Very well, I'll escort my senior sister back to the palace first, and then we'll investigate further." Xia Lianxue turned her head: "May I ask who this gentleman is?"

Qiu Yuehan's expression remained unchanged: "My savior said he wants to join the Immortal Palace, and I plan to take him back with me."

"in this way."

~~~~~~~~~~~
The carriage wheels rolled on and on.

Qiu Yuehan tightened the white lotus sash around her waist slightly, her black silk draped down her straight back, revealing an arc, and then beckoned to Lu Changyuan: "Come here."

Helpless, Lu Changyuan could only move closer to Qiu Yuehan and offer his shoulder as a pillow for the fairy.

Qiu Yuehan was seriously injured, having overexerted his body twice in a row. In addition, Xia Lianxue was not yet at the fifth realm, so they had no choice but to find a carriage.

"Senior sister, let's go to the branch sect first."

Qiu Yuehan nodded, closed her eyes, and leaned on Lu Changyuan's shoulder, seemingly about to fall asleep: "I need to recover my sword power, which will take at least three days. If the Blood Demon Palace comes to hunt me down again, I will have to rely on my junior sister."

Xia Lianxue was sitting in the carriage, her delicate buttocks pressing against her snow-white legs, revealing her small feet clad in white embroidered shoes. Her graceful and curvaceous body swayed with the movement of the carriage: "Of course I will protect my senior sister. After all, she is the next palace master."

Lu Changyuan didn't pay attention to Qiu Yuehan's scent as he smelled it in his nose. Instead, he carefully analyzed Xia Lianxue's words, but then he couldn't discern the emotion in them.

These fairies from the celestial palace are acting just like real people.

Lu Changyuan suddenly had a wicked idea.

He wanted to see Qiu Yuehan and Xia Lianxue fight.

Women fighting is the most entertaining thing to watch.

"It's just real people talking nonsense."

Xia Lianxue said, "If Master Hanshui says so, then it is." Lu Changyuan interjected, "And who is Master Hanshui?"

Miaoyu Palace originated from Yuyue Immortal Palace. When the Palace Master of Miaoyu Palace was young, she joined Yuyue Immortal Palace. At that time, the Palace Master of Miaoyu Palace, Qiu Yuehan, and Xia Lianxue were no different; they were all just inexperienced young girls.

The Cold Water Immortal was among the last group of elderly people who remembered the appearance of the young girl, the Palace Master Miaoyu.

She is also the last female immortal in the Feather Moon Immortal Palace besides the Palace Master.

A year ago, Master Hanshui finished his seclusion and learned that his time was up and he would never be able to break through to Yaoguang. So he summoned the talented disciples of Miaoyu Palace and planned to use his last strength to demonstrate the Thirteen Swords of Miaoyu to the disciples in the palace before he passed away.

When Xia Lianxue and Qiu Yuehan walked into the martial arts arena side by side, Master Hanshui stared at Qiu Yuehan, stunned for a long time.

Then Master Hanshui said.

“You and the Palace Master look very alike when you were young.”

The entire Miaoyu Palace was in an uproar.

From then on, it became a rumor in Miaoyu Palace that Qiu Yuehan had higher talent than Xia Lianxue and was more likely to become the next palace master.

And that seems to be the case.

In last year's sect competition, Qiu Yuehan defeated Xia Lianxue by half a move.

No one knew what Xia Lianxue was thinking. The day after the competition, Xia Lianxue left her room with a gentle smile, as if nothing had changed.

However, from that day on, Xia Lianxue wore a veil, making it impossible for people to see her face.

Lu Changyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The two fairies looked at him at the same time.

Xia Lianxue placed her delicate hands on her lap: "What's so funny?"

Lu Changyuan could only say, "As an elder of Miaoyu Palace, how could Master Hanshui leave behind such a statement that could easily incite internal strife within the sect before his passing?"

Both remained silent for a while before Xia Lianxue spoke up: "We don't know either."

Lu Changyuan clearly saw that Xia Lianxue's hand had already clenched into a fist.

So he said, "Do you think it's possible? It's just one possibility."

Qiu Yuehan opened her beautiful eyes, and Xia Lianxue leaned forward, both of them very seriously wanting to know what Lu Changyuan would say.

"Master Han Shui is simply senile."

"."

"."

Although Xia Lianxue was wearing a veil, her eyes clearly showed her disappointment.

She raised her hand, and the carriage came to a sudden stop.

Qiu Yuehan looked at Xia Lianxue with confusion: "Junior Sister?"

Xia Lianxue simply said, "There's a stream not far away; I'll go fetch some water."

Lu Changyuan suddenly spoke up: "I'll go too. The two fairies don't need to eat or drink, but my mortal body can't handle it. I need to pick some fruit to fill my stomach."

Qiu Yuehan seemed to want to say something, but Lu Changyuan had already gotten out of the car.

half an hour.

She sighed softly.

Looking inward, Qiu Yuehan stroked the demonic rune once more.

The more vulnerable you are, the more likely you are to overthink.

Therefore, when a cultivator is seriously injured, she is very susceptible to being corrupted by lustful demons. But strangely, the demonic mark was actually protecting her mind and keeping her from being affected by distracting thoughts.

Moreover, the energy emanating from the demonic runes was refining her chaotic meridians.

Her life was in someone else's hands, and now it seemed like she was the one who had the advantage.

Qiu Yuehan muttered to herself, "Who exactly are you?"
