Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

Ye Yuchan's brow twitched: "What are the conditions?"

Xu Yanliu pointed at Yunping'er under the table, a subtle, mischievous smile on her face: "You know what I mean~"

"May I have a long talk with this lady tonight?"

These words were spoken.

Yunping almost jumped up and smashed Xu Yanliu's head.

This lesbian girl actually has feelings for her?!

Faced with this request that directly threatened her personal safety and innocence, Ye Yuchan put on a solemn face and spoke in an extremely heavy tone.

"A long talk, huh? Deal!"

Yunping'er: "???"

Is this silver-haired girl really his apprentice? Are there still people these days who would so readily sell out their teacher?

But that wasn't all. Ye Yuchan added, "How about this, you give me another 200,000 gold coins, and I'll have her sleep with me for one more night. How about that?"

Xu Yanliu: "Deal!"

So you're after those 200,000 gold coins, right?

Looking at the two who had clearly reached a consensus, Zhang Ruoxue smiled subtly and looked at Yun Ping'er under the table, "Teacher, isn't this karma? Who told you to keep tricking Yu Chan before..."

"cut……"

Yunping curled her lip. She didn't care. How could some unknown woman want to have a lesbian relationship with her? She would just knock her out, throw her on the bed, and leave.

However, Yunping'er should take a good note of Ye Yuchan's attempt to harm her master.

Holding a grudge.jpg

After the deal was reached, Xu Yanliu finally spoke up.

"The Yangque Fire Domain, right? I do know about it. I heard about it from someone else, but the accuracy of the information should be quite high."

Seeing that Ye Yuchan and the others did not speak, Xu Yanliu continued, "The Yangque Fire Domain is a strange place. According to those Taoists with brain tumors, it seems that Yangque Yinghuo, one of the twenty-one extremes, came to the Netherworld. Then, for some reason, it seems to be hiding from someone, and ran to the southwest corner of the Netherworld and took root there."

"Southwest corner?" Ye Yuchan silently memorized this location.

"Yes, it's right below the gray soil. The gray soil was already troublesome enough, but with the sudden appearance of the Yangque Fire Domain, the southwest corner of the Netherworld is basically deserted."

"Dust..."

Ye Yuchan seemed to have some recollection of this place.

That also seemed to be one of the twenty-one extremes, a patch of pure gray soil. There were rumors that spiritual plants planted on this gray soil would undergo extremely strange mutations...

However, she didn't know anything else, since she wasn't qualified to know too much about someone like the Twenty-One Ultimate.

Seemingly to confirm the accuracy of the information, Ye Yuchan asked again, "Where did you get this information from?"

"Don't worry, the source should be pretty reliable." Xu Yanliu chuckled. "After all, it was heard from the Jin Yao Dao Alliance."

It's the Ash Demon Alliance again...

The teddy bear on her head seemed a little uneasy and shifted its body a couple of times. Zhang Ruoxue, who was drinking, also slowly put down her glass. She had always disliked this strange organization that deliberately hunted down demons.

"Is the news from the Ash Demon Alliance really true?"

"Although those Taoist priests are mentally unstable, their information should still be reliable."

Upon seeing Xu Yanliu's tone towards the Jin Yao Dao Alliance, a glint flashed in Ye Yuchan's eyes: "Judging from what you're saying, you seem to know a lot about the Jin Yao Dao Alliance."

“I used to be a member of that place, but something happened later and I left.”

At this point, Xu Yanliu took a big gulp of wine, seemingly quite dissatisfied.

Zhang Ruoxue's gaze toward Xu Yanliu turned somewhat unfriendly, but she still asked, "Why did you withdraw?"

"What else could it be? It's because those Taoist priests suddenly lost all sense of decency and started killing innocent people indiscriminately."

"Indiscriminate killing?"

“Yes.” Xu Yanliu rested her chin on her hand, her bare shoulder exposed. She narrowed her eyes, her tone full of resentment: “Originally, the Jin Yao Dao Alliance was just an organization that dealt with certain demons who practiced evil magic. But since that incident a few years ago, the Jin Yao Dao Alliance has started to clean up the entire Netherworld’s demon and monster races, regardless of whether they practice evil magic.”

"This indiscriminate behavior is no different from indiscriminate killing of innocent people, so I withdrew."

"So that's how it is..." Ruoxue's eyes returned to normal. "Then what are you referring to about the incident from a few years ago..."

"Devouring Demon".

It's another term I've never heard of before.

Noticing the bewildered expressions on Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue's faces, Xu Yanliu sighed and began to explain—

"They were a kind of ancient demon race that appeared out of nowhere. It's not that they practiced evil magic, but rather that their physical constitution was quite terrifying."

"They devour everything they see: humans, demons, monsters, spiritual plants... As long as it's a living thing, they will use devouring to merge its bloodline with their own. This kind of demon race should have been extinct by the time of the Hundred Saints, but unexpectedly it suddenly reappeared a few years ago."

Zhang Ruoxue raised her hand, "Um, I wanted to ask, what does fusion mean..."

"It refers to the fusion of bloodlines, so most of those Devouring Demons have very complex bloodlines. It's normal for a Devouring Demon to have more than a dozen bloodlines."

More than a dozen bloodlines... huh?

Yunping'er, sitting under the table, took a sip of wine, her expression growing increasingly serious.

It was at this moment that she suddenly heard the voice of the person she least wanted to hear.

"Some of the guests here are unfamiliar faces."

The woman who was supposed to go straight to the stage to perform suddenly and strangely appeared at the table where Yun Ping'er was, and walked gracefully to the front of everyone.

Under the stunned gazes of Ye Yuchan and the others, she slowly lifted her black veil, revealing a face that made everyone present's hearts stop, a face as captivating as a celestial being descended to earth, and smiled sweetly.

"I am Xiao Chunjie, and I have just met you gentlemen."

39. Headache

Who are those people?

Inside the Fragrant Pavilion, countless envious gazes were directed at the same spot.

The woman, dressed in a black and white Taoist robe, crossed her legs, her eyes gleaming coldly, her face somber, staring unfriendly at the wine table in the corner directly in front of her.

To be precise, it's the people at the dinner table.

The maidservant from Piaoxiang Pavilion beside her seemed to sense the anger in her tone and dared not disobey. She leaned down and whispered, "They seem to be new guests. Lady Minglian is probably just curious..."

"Hmph." A cold snort filled with jealousy rang out. The woman gritted her teeth and unconsciously tightened her grip on the sword sheath beside the wine table with her right hand: "A newcomer, huh? He's really lucky."

It's true that they were lucky.

Because this mysterious Lady Minglian has hardly spoken to any guests so far. She usually just comes to Piaoxiang Pavilion to make an appearance, dance, or play a tune.

That alone is enough to make countless women swoon over her, and countless men want to get close to her, even if it's just to exchange a few words.

Such a dream, which seems unattainable to most people, was easily realized by Ye Yuchan and others simply because they were newcomers and aroused the curiosity of that famous Lord Minglian. This truly made people envious and jealous.

But Lao Yun doesn't feel lucky at all right now. Instead, she has a "Goddess of Fortune, you've tricked me!" look on her face. She's squatting under the table, not even daring to drink.

Looking at Xiao Chunjie's beautiful face after she removed her veil, even Ye Yuchan, who had once seen the celestial beauty Yin Hanxuebing, couldn't help but be stunned.

If the Silver Frost Ice of the Northern Ice Palace is like a peerless ice flower that one dares only admire from afar, then Xiao Chunjie in front of me is a beautiful rose with every move she makes and every smile she gives.

She stood there stunned for a long while before asking blankly, "Um... excuse me..."

"I was a little tired on the way from the cave to this Fragrant Pavilion, so I wanted to rest for a while. Since I saw that you were unfamiliar faces, I thought I would like to come and see you."

Xiao Chunjie's voice was quite gentle, and within that gentleness seemed to lie an unknown allure, making one's ears and even mind begin to tingle.

Xu Yanliu, a seasoned lesbian, was so shocked by Xiao Chunjie's sudden appearance that she was speechless—this was a chance to get close to her goddess, and she never dreamed that she would have this day.

"Come, come, um... Miss Xiao, Mr. Xiao, please sit here..."

She instantly transformed into a female fanatic, completely forgetting her original goal of hunting Yun Ping'er. At this moment, she acted like a loyal dog, moving out the chair next to her.

Xiao Chunjie smiled and glanced at her, saying calmly, "Thank you for your trouble."

"No, no, it's my honor to serve Miss Xiao, hehehe..."

—This is already an attempt to win favor through flattery.

Xiao Chunjie smiled slightly, quickly shifting her gaze away from Xu Yanliu, seemingly uninterested in her, and slowly sat down, her posture dignified and elegant.

Yunping rolled her eyes as she looked at the pair of beautiful legs covered in black stockings that suddenly appeared in front of her, her heart pounding.

—Because she had completely stopped breathing and held her breath to mute her heartbeat, she was temporarily in a completely transparent state. As long as she didn't move, Xiao Chunjie probably wouldn't be able to find her.

Hmm, I'm guessing...

"So, the aura emanating from these people doesn't seem to belong to the Netherworld; they seem to have come from outside?"

"Mm." Ye Yuchan nodded. Although Xiao Chunjie was indeed stunningly beautiful, she did not choose to reveal her purpose directly. "I came to Youming for a short visit. I have some things to take care of."

"Oh? What business do you specifically need to come to the Underworld for?"

Xiao Chunjie seemed to care a lot about Ye Yuchan; the image of the silver-haired girl was reflected in her pair of bewitching purple eyes.

That chilling gaze sent constant warnings through Ye Yuchan's brain; she had a feeling that the person in front of her was extremely dangerous.

Just as Yi Cha was pondering how to answer Xiao Chunjie, Xiao Chunjie smiled and said, "Since you are unwilling to reveal it, then there is no need to say it. I am not the kind of person who pries into things."

"Then may I ask another question? Are you gentlemen from the Desolate Heaven Domain?"

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue simultaneously went on high alert.

Ye Yuchan frowned, staring at Xiao Chunjie as if facing a formidable enemy. She gently moved her left hand to a certain position on the wheelchair and asked in a low voice, "How did you know?"

"Hehe." Xiao Chunjie smiled calmly, interlaced her fingers, and leaned forward: "I just made a slight guess. I can't help but think of a certain sect in the Desolate Heaven Domain because I see that the two guests have an extraordinary temperament and possess secret treasures."

As Xu Yanliu poured wine for Xiao Chunjie, she grinned and asked, "Miss Xiao, are you referring to the Northern Ice Palace?"

“Northern Ice Palace?” Xiao Chunjie’s brows furrowed suddenly, then relaxed immediately, but the disgust in her eyes did not fade: “Northern Ice Palace cannot cultivate such talents. I am talking about the Cloud Sky Academy, which has recently gained a reputation.”

"!!!"

This guy... knows about Yuntian Academy!

If the Xiao Chun Jie of the past only showed simple danger, then the current Xiao Chun Jie is simply a danger shrouded in mist.
