Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 160: No One Is Born Inferior

Moon Drinking Tower.

Moon Charm Room.

Qin Gengyun opened his mouth, staring blankly at the expressionless Si Minglan.

This shameless, unrestrained woman actually had such a tragic past?

Upstairs.

Moon Shadow Room.

"Could this woman have already woken up and be lying?"

Liu Su similarly gaped, finding it hard to believe.

Si Minglan was so alluring and uninhibited, shamelessly wanton, she seemed born for debauchery.

No matter how one looked at it, she didn’t seem like someone who’d suffered tragedy as a child.

Qiu Zhihe coldly said, "Tragedies in the world are countless, with blood on one’s hands from the Cyan Lotus Sect, there are no innocents."

Downstairs, Si Minglan continues:

"My father was the National Guardian General of the West Imperial Dynasty, with countless achievements, yet feared by the Emperor, who fabricated charges of treason against him, executing my whole family!"

"I was my father’s youngest daughter; the Emperor didn’t want a reputational stain of cruelty, so he didn’t kill me, but sent me to the Imperial Music Bureau, degrading me to an official courtesan."

"Years later, when I came of age, I was humiliated by the Prime Minister, and from then every night I served different men."

"They all like to torture me, every day I was covered in wounds. I sought death multiple times, each time rescued only to face even more brutal abuse."

"Those ministers, each with kind visages and rightful appearances, were beasts behind closed doors. I watched countless sisters die from their torment."

"Only I, the Emperor claimed my father had committed grievous crimes, destined for my life as a courtesan, unable to find peace, which is why they’ve never killed me."

"Later, I stole a dagger and killed the Prime Minister who came again to violate me, dismembered him, and threw him into the frozen meat vault of the brothel."

"Then used his token to escape the Western Imperial City. With the Emperor’s men in pursuit, I jumped off a cliff—better dead than suffering further abuse."

"Master Sang Yue passed by, saved me, brought me to Zhenyang Mountain, healed all my scars and taught me cultivation."

"Master said my talent in cultivation paralleled that of Ye Xiyue, but my heart demon was too heavy, forever unable to break through Foundation Establishment, thus asked if I’d like to study Charm Technique."

"I was already a courtesan, as long as I can kill all my enemies, wipe out the men of the world, why wouldn’t I agree?"

After hearing Si Minglan’s unfeeling recount, Qin Gengyun’s expression grew complex, his gaze towards her gained a hint of sympathy.

No wonder her actions were so unrestrained yet ruthless; whoever suffered such tragedy and torment as a child might turn out like her upon growing up.

Unable to resist, Qin Gengyun asked, "Have you killed all your enemies now?"

"Haha, I’ve killed all those who’ve tormented me—I cut off their private parts first, then limbs, finally their heads. Each time I felt pleasure, but unfortunately..."

Si Minglan’s expression was dazed, her voice unconsciously cold, causing Qin Gengyun to shiver involuntarily. Then she continued:

"The Emperor isn’t dead yet; the Imperial Palace is guarded by magical artifacts that I can’t break through, but both of his Princes are in the Thunder Sword Sect. I will find a way to kill them."

Si Minglan finished speaking, lowered her head, and remained motionless.

Qin Gengyun stayed silent for a while, then suddenly got up, walked to Si Minglan, and removed her outer garment, once more revealing that inviting Shameful Clothes.

"Wow! Saintess, what’s the Holy Consort doing? Could he possibly sympathize with Si Minglan and feel pity for her?"

Liu Su exclaimed noisily, while Qiu Zhihe coldly commanded:

"Shut up!"

She kept her eyes fixed on the image in the light orb, yet her heart thumped wildly.

Not until seeing Qin Gengyun remove Si Minglan’s outer garment and then step back without further action did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After returning the room to its previous state, Qin Gengyun ceased channeling spiritual power, putting on a vacant expression as the Wind Return Array in the bronze mirror slowly vanished.

Moments later, Si Minglan suddenly lifted her head, a hint of puzzlement on her face.

Soon after, seeing Qin Gengyun in front of her, his mind affected by the Charm Technique, her face resumed that seductive and wanton look, starting to questioning coquettishly.

The questions were the same as last night, and Qin Gengyun’s answers equally unchanged.

Once done asking the same questions as last night, Si Minglan paused, then suddenly laughed coquettishly: 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Alchemist Qin, Junior Sister Fang told me your wife is quite beautiful. Let me ask, how is her cultivation? What talents does she have?"

Qin Gengyun answered, "My wife is at the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation like me, she’s an excellent cook. I love her Spirit Flesh stew most."

Si Minglan let out a laugh: "An excellent cook? Haha, you and your wife surely share deep affection, though I wonder, what expression would she wear seeing you being so intimate with another woman?"

Upstairs, Qiu Zhihe’s expression was icy, Liu Su’s small hand constantly soothing her tightly clenched fist.

"Saintess, calm down, stay calm!"

Si Minglan glanced down at her Shameful Clothes, then at Qin Gengyun’s straightforward gaze, and suddenly memories long unseen appeared in her mind.

Within the Official Brothel, men holding whips, their laughter cruel, their gaze just as undisguised.

Si Minglan’s eyes turned cold, her voice gaining a touch of killing intent:

"Alchemist Qin, do you think I’m a disgraceful slut available to any man?"

Qin Gengyun answered: "No."

Si Minglan was taken aback, then asked: "Why?"

Qin Gengyun replied: "Senior Si, no one is born lowly; love and hate have causes, evil acts meet consequences. Once hate in one’s heart is purged, perhaps one can begin anew."

Si Minglan stood there stunned, never anticipating such words from this man before her.

She clutched her head, dreadful memories churning faster and faster, causing painful murmurs:

"Evil acts meet consequences? Haha, indeed, they’ve faced consequences...but what about me? Can I start anew?"

Moments later, the killing intent around Si Minglan dissipated. With a graceful wave of her hand, scattered garments on the floor rose and returned to her body.

The seductive fox spirit vanished, leaving only a dispirited woman.

She took out a wine gourd, raised her pale neck, and glugged down all the wine inside.

Then casually picked up the wine jug on the table, without pouring it into a cup, tilted it to drink the slender stream directly.

However, her hand seemed to tremble, wine spilled, splashing onto her cheek, sliding onto her neck and clothes, leaving a mess.

From her Phoenix Eye, tears suddenly welled, mingling with wine, flowing into her high neckline.

Carrying the wine jug, she stumbled toward the door.

"Haha, I am born lowly, so what? You humiliate me thousands of times, so what? Unable to ever reach Golden Core, so what? I am Si Minglan, even if I live a hundred lives as a disgrace, cursed for a thousand generations, I will slaughter the Western Imperial Palace, and sever the head of the dog Emperor!"

As her charming yet frantic laughter faded away, Qin Gengyun sensed Si Minglan lifting the Charm Technique, thus "waking up."

He acted the complete part, pretending to just regain consciousness, glancing around, anxiously calling:

"Senior Si, Senior Si? Where have you gone?"

From afar, Si Minglan’s voice indeed came: "Today’s wine is good, go back now, don’t betray your wife."
