Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Chapter 365 - 24: Jian Yue’s Schemes of Discord

Jian Yue laughed lightly as she reached out her hands to touch Qin Gengyun’s chest:

"If we’re discovered, I’ll just say I’m the master’s woman."

Qin Gengyun pushed her hands away: "Last time, I gave you enough Spiritual Power to last over ten days, isn’t that enough?"

Jian Yue gently stroked her belly, speaking seductively: "Of course it’s enough. Master, look, I’ve stored my Spiritual Energy here. Master, put something even better in next time, and I’ll give you a little baby."

Ignoring her nonsense, Qin Gengyun coldly demanded: "Where’s the Ice Purity Rejuvenation Pill?"

The Pill Poison inside him remained unresolved, leaving him with less than four years to live. One purpose of coming to Zhenyang Sect was to obtain the Ice Purity Rejuvenation Pill to eradicate the Pill Poison.

Before heading to Zhenyang Mountain, it had been agreed that Jian Yue would find a way to get the Ice Purity Rejuvenation Pill from Danxia Peak.

After all, she was a prominent elder, and acquiring a Fourth Grade Pill shouldn’t be a problem.

Jian Yue spoke in a coquettish voice: "Doesn’t the master know? The Spirit Pill Pavilion has been temporarily closed by Tantai Mingyue’s order, waiting for the Outer Sect competition winner to enter and choose pills."

"Master, aren’t you going to participate in the Outer Sect competition? If you win the title, you can rightfully enter and take the Spirit Pill."

Qin Gengyun frowned at her: "What if we don’t win the title? Will you be unable to acquire the Ice Purity Rejuvenation Pill?"

Jian Yue giggled as she caressed his chest: "Master is so powerful; how could you not win the title?"

Qin Gengyun’s face showed a smile, his hand also resting on her belly, causing Jian Yue to beam:

"Master, are you finally showing mercy to me?"

Suddenly, Jian Yue’s expression changed, her body convulsing and collapsing on the ground in agony.

"Ah! Master, Master, it hurts so much, quickly give me, give me... ah!"

The administrator of the Soul-devouring Pill could inject Spiritual Power into the poisoned person to alleviate her pain or withdraw Spiritual Power to trigger the toxicity prematurely.

Just like now, Qin Gengyun withdrew all his Spiritual Power from Jian Yue’s body, causing the Soul-devouring Pill’s toxicity to erupt instantly.

Caught unaware, Jian Yue rolled and struggled on the ground, wailing miserably:

"Ah! The first lady is from the Demon Sect, using cruel methods. If the master is as ruthless as her, wouldn’t you also fall into the Demon Dao? How then could you ascend and achieve the Dao?"

This was a deliberate attempt by Jian Yue to undermine him.

Though a Demon Embryo, she wasn’t content with being controlled by Qin Gengyun forever. If she could drive a wedge between Qin Gengyun and Xia Qinglian while they were apart, perhaps she could turn the tables on him and retaliate against Xia Qinglian.

However, hearing her words, Qin Gengyun remained calm, even showing contempt and pity in his gaze:

"Zhenyang killed his wife for power, Ye Xiyue betrayed her fellow sect members, Zheng Shengmo violated moral norms, and that unknown person colluded with Spirit Corpse Mountain, all deeds are committed by Zhenyang Sect, which claims to lead the Righteous Path."

"Such a Righteous Path, yet they have the face to call others the Demon Sect?"

Jian Yue was stunned, looking at Qin Gengyun in disbelief: "Didn’t you say you would ensure the Righteous Path prevailed in the world? Why speak such heretical words?"

Qin Gengyun replied indifferently: "The Righteous Path in my heart is one of clear fairness, abiding love, not repaying kindness with betrayal, not hypocritical or base, not violating righteousness. This is the Righteous Path. The world doesn’t consist only of Zhenyang Sect as the Righteous Path; each person with love and righteousness is the Righteous Path!"

"Ah! Master, didn’t you know? The first lady’s hands are covered in blood, killing both righteous and evil. Is this also the Righteous Path in your heart?"

Jian Yue wailed as she questioned sharply.

Qin Gengyun looked down at her: "My spouse, whether righteous or demon sect, is my spouse. If she committed evil acts, harmed innocent people, I would bear the punishment with her."

"Ah! Master, you shouldn’t have joined Zhenyang Sect; you should have joined the Cyan Lotus Sect, ah!..."

Jian Yue tore away her outerwear, revealing her body wearing only undergarments.

"Master, you treat your women so well, I adore you, I’m willing to be your concubine, in the fifth, sixth, seventh house, all are fine, just take me!"

Qin Gengyun summoned her clothes back onto her, responding calmly:

"Jian Yue, I don’t possess the antidote to the Soul-devouring Pill; if I die, you will die too. If you wish to continue with your schemes, that’s courting death."

Intense waves of pain surged again in Jian Yue’s body, her whole body convulsing, her pupils turning white, her tongue protruding, unable to speak any longer.

A moment later, Qin Gengyun finally injected a stream of Spiritual Power into her body.

Jian Yue gasped for breath, struggling to stand up, kneeling before Qin Gengyun:

"Master, your servant was wrong."

Qin Gengyun said: "We will indeed participate in the Outer Sect competition. If we win the title, there’s no need for you to intervene. If not, you must obtain the Ice Purity Rejuvenation Pill for me, understand?"

"Yes, master."

Jian Yue now behaved obediently, bowing her head in agreement.

"Are there any strong opponents on the other peaks?"

Qin Gengyun asked.

Jian Yue immediately named several individuals, matching what Lin Qingchou had mentioned.

The strongest were these three:

Heaven-Reaching Peak, Zhang Ling, Cloud-Rolling Sword, Wind Rolls the Remnant Cloud, One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques.

Forgetful Peak, Zhao Zhen, Fourth Tier Array Master, Puppet Master, a rare Array Puppetry Technique, nearly invincible among the same tier.

Xiyue Peak, Wu Yiren, the seventh princess of the West Imperial Dynasty, highly gifted, has been suppressing cultivation for several years, might break through in the Outer Sect competition.

"Wu Yiren comes to Xiyue Peak to investigate the death of the Eldest Prince; does this mean Si Minglan has been discovered?"

Like Xia Qinglian, hearing about Wu Yiren, Qin Gengyun couldn’t help but worry about Si Minglan.

He waved his hand, telling Jian Yue: "You may leave now."

"Yes."

Jian Yue knelt, then stood, paused, and suddenly said:

"Master, what I said earlier was sincere. I’ve seen so many hypocritical and shameless men, none like the master, so clear in righteousness and deep in affection. I truly wish to abandon everything and become your concubine, no lies."

Her flirtatious and seductive demeanor vanished, replaced by a face of sincerity and deep affection.

Qin Gengyun looked at her coldly: "If there’s a next time, I won’t show mercy."

Jian Yue laughed lightly, her deep affection gone, "Master, you’re getting smarter, you’ve seen through my intentions again. I’m leaving now. At the Outer Sect competition, I look forward to seeing your majestic presence!"

After speaking, she disappeared from the room.

Qin Gengyun was silent for a moment, then picked up the Sound Transmission Talisman connected with Liu Su:

"Susu, is there another passage in the Cyan Lotus Sect’s relic?"

Liu Su quickly responded: "No, the only way is through the stone gate, why are you asking this, master?"

Qin Gengyun lowered the Talisman, his face growing more puzzled, taking out a strand of long hair from his bosom.

Could it be that I was mistaken in my longing for my spouse?

After a moment, he shook his head. Regardless, he needed to acquire the Ice Purity Rejuvenation Pill and resolve the Pill Poison first.

Recalling something, Qin Gengyun took out another Sound Transmission Talisman, the one handed to him by Si Minglan before departing.

Qin Gengyun sent a message: "Taoist Friend Si, have you reached Feiyun Sect?"

After waiting a long time, there was no response.
