Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 279 - 84: Stealing Xia Qinglian’s Man Would Make Her Suffer Utterly

Chapter 279: Chapter 84: Stealing Xia Qinglian’s Man Would Make Her Suffer Utterly

"Master, I met my wife when I had nothing, yet she accepted me, treated me with kindness, thought of everything for me, and helped me tirelessly in my cultivation."

"Without her, I might not have held on for so long, let alone become the person I am today."

"The person you are today? Do you think you’ve mastered your cultivation? How laughable!"

Qin Gengyun was reminiscing tenderly about his wife, but was coldly interrupted, and harshly criticized, so he could only bow his head and listen.

The doubts in his heart subsided a bit.

His wife would also often motivate and spur him on, but she would never strike him down so callously from a high place.

This was indeed the usual tone of the Master.

Niantang suddenly sat by the river, her tall and stern figure becoming somewhat languid, and she said softly:

"Continue talking about your wife."

"Ah?"

Qin Gengyun was taken aback, yet he heard the Master say coldly:

"No training tonight, only cultivation of the heart. Your wife is the inner demon in your heart, and as your Master, I shall remove it for you."

"My wife is not an inner demon!"

Qin Gengyun immediately replied. Niantang was silent for a moment, but did not scold him, instead saying slowly:

"Go on."

Qin Gengyun looked at the Master whose demeanor seemed to suddenly soften, and finally continued to recount the story of meeting Qiu Zhihe for the first time, marrying, growing distant, gradually becoming familiar until falling deeply in love.

The river flowed gently and the stars shimmered brightly as he spoke with tenderness, and she listened intently.

At some point, Niantang’s body had completely relaxed, leaning gently against a willow tree beside her.

Listening to him talk about their every little thing, listening to his yearning for her, yet at this moment, though they were so close, they felt worlds apart.

Unconsciously, a tear slid down from her beautiful eyes, bright as the stars.

Fortunately, her back was to him, and this tear slipped beneath the veil, soon disappearing.

"Master, I’m done... Master?"

Qin Gengyun’s words brought her back to her senses, and Niantang quickly sat up straight, regaining her stern demeanor.

"And you say she’s not your inner demon? A cultivator should be heartless and cut off emotions and desires, yet your heart clings only to your wife. If she were gone, could you continue cultivating?"

"Of course I can," Qin Gengyun said calmly.

Niantang was startled, and although she should have felt relieved, she couldn’t help but feel annoyed, unconsciously tinged with jealousy:

"Of course, you have close friends and a sister-in-law, so naturally, you wouldn’t feel lonely."

Qin Gengyun asked curiously, "Master, why would you say that? I would continue cultivating because the higher my cultivation, the more capable I am of finding my wife."

Niantang stiffened, turning to look at him, "Is that truly what you think?"

Qin Gengyun replied, "Naturally, my wife’s cultivation is far superior to mine. If she were to leave, it must be because of an unsolvable matter. If I don’t strive hard in cultivating, how could I be of any assistance to her?"

Niantang was silent for a long while before rising abruptly, "That’s it for today, go sleep."

With that, she quickly walked toward her residence, as though escaping.

In the process, she inadvertently glanced into the distance, as if discovering something.

Qin Gengyun watched her back, bowing respectfully, "Yes, Master."

Niantang’s figure soon vanished, and Qin Gengyun straightened up, the suspicion on his face growing.

"Could I truly have guessed wrong?"

...

"Hee hee hee, so, Ye Xiyue, wasn’t I right?"

Half a mile away in South Willow Bay, on a thick branch of a large tree.

Ye Xiyue stood elegantly, wearing a white dress. Among the cultivation techniques she practiced was a method for long-distance seeing, allowing her to see people’s faces clearly even at night.

Listening to conversations was naturally not an issue.

She had heard the entire exchange between Qin Gengyun and Niantang.

Qin Gengyun couldn’t determine the relationship between Niantang and Qiu Zhihe because his cultivation wasn’t high enough, nor did he know the inside story, unable to sense the same two Sword Qi within both Niantang and Qiu Zhihe.

However, Ye Xiyue was different, because one of the Sword Qi within Xia Qinglian was infused by her own hands.

No matter what Xia Qinglian changed into, she could sense the Sword Qi and see through her at a glance.

Thus, she was very clear that whether it was Qiu Zhihe or Niantang, both were Xia Qinglian.

And from the conversation she overheard between Qin Gengyun and Niantang, she confirmed one more thing—Xia Qinglian’s weakness was this man, Qin Gengyun!

"The Demon Sect was annihilated, and Xia Qinglian used the Cloning Technique to fake her death and escaped, infiltrating Yunling Town, seeking to marry a normal male cultivator to cover her identity."

"Little did she expect to develop genuine feelings over time, turning a manipulative intent into true marital affection, entangled in emotion, now transforming into another person just to break free from the shackles of love?"

Ye Xiyue muttered to herself, guessing the situation right by seventy to eighty percent.

Just one point was wrong; Xia Qinglian changed from Qiu Zhihe into Niantang, not to break away from the so-called emotional shackles.

Rather, she didn’t want to drag Qin Gengyun down, and wanted to arrange everything properly for her husband before her death.

This was also because Ye Xiyue sought Dao Ascension single-mindedly, seeing everything else as mere dust.

Naturally, she couldn’t understand such behavior.

But these matters weren’t important to her; what mattered was that she could use Qin Gengyun to compel Xia Qinglian to comply.

"Hee hee, Ye Xiyue, if we’re going to stop at nothing to achieve our goals, why not do it thoroughly?"

"What do you have in mind?"

"Why don’t you let me take over the body, and I’ll go seduce that Qin Gengyun, make him shift his affections toward me, surely it would make Xia Qinglian suffer greatly, wouldn’t this be a harsh revenge upon her?"

"Don’t even think about it!"

"Hee hee hee, Ye Xiyue, the effects of the drug are acting up again, quickly, take advantage of this moment to seduce a man, you’ll feel very comfortable too."

"Shut up!"

Under the starry sky, the Fairy in white on the tree branch trembled all over, with silver rain scattering onto the ground along with the starlight.

...

The next day.

A troop of Spirit Corpses numbering as many as an army marched past South Willow Bay.

A woman in a black robe stood under the large tree that had been thoroughly ravaged last night, looking down at the suspicious damp spots on the ground that hadn’t dried there yet.

Mo Sha asked beside her, "Ling, what’s wrong?"

Ling squatted down, sniffed, and said doubtfully, "I smell a familiar scent."

"Could it be Si Minglan?" Mo Sha’s eyes lit up, and he said excitedly:

"That day I didn’t have enough people with me. If I ran into those people again now, I’d make sure they couldn’t escape!"

"It’s not Si Minglan, it’s another scent, how could it be?" Ling questioned, extending her hand, dipping it into the water stain, lifting a bit of her mask, and placing her finger in her mouth.

"Ptooey, ptooey!"

"What’s wrong, Ling?"

The woman in the black robe spat several times, slightly irritated, "So salty! What the hell is this?!"

Mo Sha didn’t mind, "It’s probably just Si Minglan, could they also be heading to the southernmost part of the Northern Wilderness?"

Ling said, "The orphan girl from Cloud Pattern Mountain is with them. I guess Yun Li might have asked them to escort the orphan girl to Cloud Bamboo Mountain."

"Hahaha, if that’s the case, I’ll capture them all in one go, and thereby the first and second on the Beauty Ranking will be mine for the taking, hahaha!"

"Young Master, the Sect Leader... the Mountain Master instructed us that this trip’s goal is to capture Yun Wu, do not complicate matters."

Mo Sha chuckled, "My father desires Yun Wu’s Pure Spirit Body, I only want her body, how is this complicating matters?"

"Young Master, keep silent, this matter is critical, let’s not let anyone with intentions hear about it."

"Hmph, understood, quickly proceed towards Cloud Bamboo Mountain! Yun Wu, my beauty, here I come!"
