Chapter 177 - 176: The Holy Daughter Is on Her Way by Flying Ship
As it turned out, words were never as effective as a good, old-fashioned spanking. A lawless little demoness like Ji Xichan needed a harsh lesson with an extra-large rod to make her behave.
"Get out of here, now!"
Pei Yuhang kicked Ji Xichan, who had just pulled her skirt back on, right out the door.
The girl in the black dress fell into the snow, looking like a black lotus that had been used and discarded, appearing especially miserable under the bright moonlight.
"You bastard, Pei Yuhang! Kicking me out the moment you're done! Are you even human?!"
Ji Xichan got to her feet, ready to let loose a stream of curses.
WHOOSH—
A Ruler, stained with strange wet marks, flew out of the window and embedded itself in the snow right in front of Ji Xichan.
Staring at the Ruler, Ji Xichan felt a phantom pain in her bottom, making her clutch it and hold her tongue.
Like a defeated little black kitten, Ji Xichan turned and left dejectedly, muttering under her breath:
'Damn it, why is this so different from the stories? In the books, after a Fairy is captured by a Demon, isn't she supposed to be trained until she's completely obedient?'
'I'm the one who threatened Pei Yuhang this time, so why can he still spank me like before and be so mean to me...'
Ji Xichan felt rather wronged.
...
...
Peng Sword Immortal cleaned the room and only let out a long sigh of relief after confirming that the scent of Ji Xichan was completely gone.
He opened the window, letting the cold wind blow in, his gaze distant and lost.
'Why, in the end, have I still failed to escape this twisted fate?'
Pei Yuhang felt a little depressed. In Ji Xichan, he saw a shadow of Shang Miaoyan from all those years ago, which brought back many unpleasant memories.
Back then, Pei Yuhang was just a beautiful young man with no strength to even truss a chicken. Facing a powerful Female Cultivator like Shang Miaoyan, he certainly couldn't have suppressed Ji Xichan as easily as he did now.
He was the one being suppressed.
Unable to resist.
Forced to let that woman toy with him.
That woman, whose desire for control was pathologically obsessive, would always morbidly whisper skin-crawling endearments like, "Xiaohan, I love you, I love you," and, "You're mine, mine!"
Even now, when Pei Yuhang recalled it, he felt sticky all over, as if his entire body had been licked. It seemed that if he sniffed himself right now, he could still smell the breath-freshening pills Shang Miaoyan always used...
'Perhaps the reason I can still suppress that little demoness is that Ji Xichan is nowhere near as pathological as Shang Miaoyan.'
'Shang Miaoyan... she is the number one enemy I must deal with.'
Pei Yuhang's gaze lowered. The thought of that Demon Path Saintess, who could return to the Xuanyuan Dao Sect at any moment, made his heart sink once more.
Ji Xichan's recent disturbances had almost made him lose sight of this crucial matter.
'The Demon-Planting Mark on my body hasn't disappeared, which means Shang Miaoyan didn't perish in her Divinity Transformation Celestial Tribulation... What a pity. Why did the Blood Evil Tribulation Thunder only strike Liyuan and not her?'
'However, in the time that wicked woman has been away, I haven't just been sitting idle besides breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm... I've obtained a method from Elder Xiao that can, to a certain extent, solve the problem of the Demon-Planting Mark.'
'The plan is to place a second Demon-Planting Mark on top of the original one. When both activate at the same time, the flow of Spiritual Qi between them will stagnate, giving me an opportunity to act!'
Thinking of this, Pei Yuhang still marveled at Elder Xiao's brilliant idea. To have such sharp insight and get straight to the heart of the problem... no wonder he was the Great Elder.
As for what kind of Demon-Planting Mark could be used to overlay Shang Miaoyan's mark without her noticing, the answer was undoubtedly the Sun Emperor Seal recorded in the Yang Emperor Heart Scripture.
It wasn't strange for a top-tier Dual Cultivation Heart Scripture like the Yang Emperor Heart Scripture to contain such a thing. Moreover, Pei Yuhang believed in the domineering power of the Yang Emperor Heart Scripture; the Seed Demon Seal it described could definitely suppress Shang Miaoyan's mark!
'The Sun Emperor Seal... I've failed to create it three times already. Today, Ji Xichan just happened to come and provide the raw materials. I have to succeed this time.'
Pei Yuhang took out a thumb-sized glass vial. Inside sloshed a liquid that was both crystal-clear like water and yet slightly turbid. This entire bottle was Ji Xichan's contribution.
That's right. The crucial raw material for the Sun Emperor Seal was a young woman with powerful cultivation and dense Yin Attribute Spiritual Energy's—
Tears.
Indeed, Pei Yuhang had spanked the little demoness until she wailed not because he had some twisted desire to hear the little brat cry, but for the tears she shed.
He didn't feel there was anything wrong with doing this to Ji Xichan, not after she had blindfolded him and taken the place of a junior disciple, forcing him to betray his Dao Companion.
Even if he made that little demoness cry her eyes out, it wouldn't be enough to atone for her wicked deed!
Pei Yuhang shook his head, trying to force himself to stop thinking about this vexing matter that angered Ding Han.
He had to focus his mind on refining the Sun Emperor Seal.
Because Pei Yuhang had a gut feeling that Shang Miaoyan, that woman, was about to arrive.
...
...
'Xiaohan, I'm coming to see you. I'm sure our hearts are connected, and you can feel my approach.'
'After all, our souls resonate so deeply.'
「Aboard the Red Lotus Divine Platform, speeding through the clouds.」
Shang Miaoyan gazed at the distant moonlight, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
When she was a child, she had heard a legend about a Guanghan Palace on the Moon Star, where a Moon Goddess lived, spreading moonlight across the world in the dark of night.
Shang Miaoyan had always been fascinated by this.
It was strange. She had grown up in the Yin Yang Sacred Land, a place that cared little for morality and shame and prized hedonistic pleasure, yet she felt a special yearning for the mysterious, noble, and pure Moon Goddess, who could not tolerate a single speck of worldly filth.
The first time she heard the name "Pei Yuhang," the "han" in his name, which meant "cold," immediately made her think of that noble, pure, and cold Moon Goddess.
This ice-cold, ascetic name truly appealed to Shang Miaoyan.
Even before meeting Pei Yuhang in person, she had already developed a slight fondness for this man she had designated as her future, exclusive Cauldron Slave.
This fondness reached a peak after she met him in person and saw his ascetic, melancholic, and broken aura for herself.
He was simply a gender-bent version of the Moon Goddess! A perfect match for Shang Miaoyan's childhood fantasies!
She couldn't help but want to understand him more, to get closer to him.
After discovering the stubbornness in Pei Yuhang, a quality that ignited her every desire to conquer, Shang Miaoyan looked back and realized she had already fallen deep into the web of love.
For a Yin Yang Dao Cultivator, this was a great taboo.
If the Sect Leader found out, she would very likely be stripped of her title as Saintess.
Fortunately, Pei Yuhang possessed the Giant Sun Saint Body, and the speed at which she could extract his cultivation for her own was divinely fast. This was the only reason those old fossils from the Yin Yang Sacred Land hadn't noticed any flaws in her Dao Heart.
But now, her own power had grown, and she had forged a path in the Yin Yang Dao that no one before her had ever taken.
'I no longer need to care about anyone's opinion. So what if those old ghosts know I've lost my heart to a man?'
A rotating Red Lotus Petal Seal swirled in Shang Miaoyan's beautiful eyes. With a light wave of her hand, a Female Cultivator in the Divinity Transformation Realm who had been tailing her from a thousand li away was instantly engulfed in Red Lotus Karma Fire, screaming as she plummeted from the clouds.
"AHHH—What is this fire? Why can't I put it out?!"
The Female Cultivator fell through the sky like a fiery meteor.
She struggled in agony, only to find that no physical means could extinguish the flames.
The flames did not burn her clothes or her body; they only burned her karmic sins and her Divine Soul. This bizarre property left the Female Cultivator helpless, able to do nothing but watch as the tongues of fire consumed her.
*This time, I'll spare you. Scram back to the Elder Hall.*
Shang Miaoyan's voice exploded in her mind.
When the Female Cultivator came to her senses, she found the flames had been extinguished, but her Cultivation had fallen by an entire realm... That fire could actually devour her Cultivation?!
The Female Cultivator glanced fearfully in the direction the Red Lotus Divine Platform had gone, not daring to follow any longer. She turned and flew back toward the Yin Yang Sacred Land, preparing to report the incident to the Elders.
Her Highness, the Holy Daughter, was no longer someone those old fossils could manipulate at will!
