Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

"Husband, Xia Qinglian is injured. Why didn't you make a move just now?"

Outside West Imperial City, a Black Phoenix spread its wings, flying towards the direction of the Feiyun Sect.

On Black Phoenix's back sat Chen Qingmo, with Su Xin, Wu Yiren, and Cheng Qingyu lying unconscious beside him.

At this moment, Black Phoenix asked Chen Qingmo puzzledly.

Chen Qingmo sneered, "Are you afraid I have intentions towards Xia Qinglian, neglecting you?"

Black Phoenix hurriedly replied, "I wouldn't dare, whatever my husband wants to do, I will assist with all my might. If my husband wants to marry Xia Qinglian as his primary wife, I will hold no resentment!"

Chen Qingmo scoffed, "Huang'Er, you've become bolder recently, daring to test me with words?"

"I was wrong, please forgive me, husband!"

"Hmm."

Chen Qingmo snorted coldly, "Xia Qinglian is pregnant."

"What!?"

Black Phoenix was startled but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then asked,

"Earlier at that pharmacy, Ye Xiyue was busy separating the Demon Embryo and unable to take action; Su Hongling and Xia Qinglian were both injured. The others were even less of a concern. If husband had acted, he had a seventy percent chance of killing them and taking Xia Qinglian away."

Chen Qingmo said indifferently, "But I would also get hurt. Their lives combined are not worth a finger of mine. Without absolute certainty, I won't easily act."

Black Phoenix pondered for a moment, "Husband is right, but once they recover, the opportunity will be even less."

Chen Qingmo chuckled, "The fetus in Xia Qinglian's womb will continuously absorb her strength. In a month's time, her power will only be seventy percent. By then, Qin Gengyun and the others will have ascended to the Immortal Flying Pavilion. Acting then will ensure full success!"

"I see, husband, you are indeed flawless in your strategies!"

Black Phoenix was enlightened, and after a moment of silence, finally couldn't help but ask,

"Husband, why do you need to capture Xia Qinglian?"

Chen Qingmo said indifferently, "You'll know when the time comes."

Black Phoenix dared not ask further, and said coyly, "Congratulations, husband, on your imminent unification of the Three Great Sects!"

Chen Qingmo laughed mockingly, "Everything in this world is insignificant. My ambitions lie far beyond this. The Three Great Sects and worldly sects are merely tools."

...

West Imperial City.

Chang'an Palace.

Amidst the ruins and broken walls, a sturdy arm reached out, gasping for breath as he pushed aside rubble and crawled out with difficulty.

"Sect Leader Su, where... are you going?"

Nearby was Zhang Zheng with a deathly pale face, and several Commanding Disciples from the Zhenyang Sect and Feiyun Sect.

These people were those who didn't ascend Cyan Lotus Mountain at that time, so they were merely stripped of their Cultivation by Xia Qinglian, leaving them alive.

However, they were once cultivators who could fly and escape, but now with lost Cultivation, they became ordinary people.

To them, it was no different from death.

"Where can I go? Just waiting to die!"

Su Longxiang laughed miserably, prying Zhang Zheng's hand off his calf, and staggeringly walked out of the half-collapsed gate of Chang'an Palace.

What appeared before his eyes were bustling streets and a thronging crowd.

Outside the hell-like Chang'an Palace, prosperity had long since returned.

As if the bloody and cruel Magical Combat had never happened.

Su Longxiang looked back at the unbearable scene inside Chang'an Palace again, then at the lively and flourishing streets ahead, feeling as if ages had passed.

"Damn it, fought desperately, but nothing changed!"

Suddenly feeling ridiculous about himself, Su Longxiang walked down the steps unsteadily and moved into the crowded masses.

Looking around, utterly lost.

"What can I do from now on?"

"Su Longxiang, you crawled out by yourself?"

A brash, crisp voice sounded behind him, and turning around, Su Longxiang was immediately enraged:

"Defiant daughter, when your father was being beaten by Xia Qinglian, why didn't you come to help?! Now my Cultivation is gone, you're going to support me for life!"

"Ah?!"

"Defiant daughter, how dare you hit me?!"

Su Hongling slapped his shoulder and kicked his calf:

"Defiant father, I told you not to mix with that idiot Bai Liu and not to provoke Qiu Zhihe, but you wouldn't listen!"

"I sacrificed so much to save your life, even becoming Xia Qinglian's servant, and you dare talk back?"

"Alright, stop hitting, it was my fault!"

Su Longxiang begged for mercy, and Su Hongling finally stopped, grabbing him and dragging him forward.

"Where are you taking me?"

Su Longxiang struggled, "I won't turn to Xia Qinglian even in death!"

"You worthless, she wouldn't want you even if you did."

Su Hongling sneered.

"Damn it! Don't pull my hair!"

Dragged by Su Hongling through several streets and alleyways, Su Longxiang was taken into a somewhat secluded residence.

With a loud kick, Su Hongling opened a room door, pushing Su Longxiang inside.

The room was luxuriously furnished, decorated with red, and on the bed lay a pair of Mandarin ducks, enjoying the water on a bright red quilt.

This was a bridal chamber.

Before a redwood table sat a dignified woman, adorned with a Phoenix Crown, a red veil covering her head, like a bride waiting to be wed.

"What... is this?"

Su Longxiang was dumbfounded, while Su Hongling pushed him in front of the bride and said, "Lift it!"

Not understanding but threatened by Su Hongling's fist, Su Longxiang had no choice but to lift the bride's red veil, revealing a mature, alluringly beautiful face underneath.

"You are..."

Su Longxiang found her familiar, and Su Hongling said,

"She is the cloud consort the late Emperor just took last month."

Su Longxiang recalled, during the opening day of the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, Wu Zheng attended with Empress Lin Yuan and several Noble Consorts, and this cloud consort was seated beside Lin Yuan.

At that time, Su Longxiang marveled at the Emperor's good fortune, that even a consort was so beautiful.

Never did he imagine that this cloud consort would appear before him today, dressed in wedding attire.

"Su Hongling, what are you doing?"

Su Longxiang was bewildered, as the mature beauty rose gracefully and bowed to him:

"Sect Leader Su, the former Emperor has passed, and I am alone and helpless. If Sect Leader Su doesn't mind, I will serve you wholeheartedly, and never regret it for life!"

Su Longxiang looked at Su Hongling in astonishment, and Su Hongling chuckled,

"Wu Zheng is dead. His concubines were all to be buried with him. This cloud consort has escaped, and I figured you like married women, so she's perfect!"

Su Longxiang looked at the cloud consort kneeling before him, flushed with embarrassment:

"Defiant daughter, stop talking nonsense. Wha... what married woman, am I such a shameless person?"

"Not willing?" Su Hongling scoffed, "Then I'll take her away."

"Hey hey!"

Su Longxiang quickly grabbed the cloud consort's hand, "I've lifted the veil, how can I not take responsibility and still be a man?"

The cloud consort rejoiced, leaning closer to Su Longxiang's chest: "Husband, I will serve you well!"

Su Longxiang's body stiffened, his hand gently resting on the cloud consort's back:

"Wife, I'll call you Yun Niang from now on, okay?"

"Thank you, husband!"

Su Longxiang laughed heartily, feeling life colored anew, waving his big hand:

"Daughter, aren't you going to call her mother? Eh?!"

Su Hongling withdrew her hand, and Yun Niang hurriedly saluted Su Hongling: "Rest assured, master, I will serve Sect Leader Su well."

Su Longxiang was stunned, "You're my wife, calling my daughter master, then what should I call this defiant daughter?"

"Enough nonsense, get on with it!" Su Hongling waved and sent her father and the servant onto the bed.

Flew out of the room, closed the door.

Paused, listening to some sound inside before feeling assured.

"Hehe, Su Longxiang, do well, give me more brothers and sisters!"
