Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

The cold glint in Ye Xiyue's hand suddenly appeared, stabbing towards Xia Qinglian.

But in the next moment, her action abruptly halted.

"How can this be?"

Ye Xiyue was holding a short sword with a faint glow, containing inner spiritual energy. It was actually an immortal artifact.

Yet it was something never seen before from Ye Xiyue, clearly, both she and Jian Yue had kept this immortal artifact hidden all along, just for this moment to assassinate Xia Qinglian.

Ye Xiyue had already reached Half-Step Divinity Transformation, while Xia Qinglian was injured and pregnant.

At such close distance, she had at least a seventy percent chance to hit the target.

Even if she couldn't kill Xia Qinglian, at the very least, she could exacerbate her injuries. By then, the rest of these people would be at her mercy.

However, at this moment, Ye Xiyue realized her calculation was laughably naive.

Her entire spiritual power seemed to be frozen, so much so that she couldn't even move a finger.

She could only watch helplessly as Xia Qinglian extended two fingers to grasp the immortal artifact short sword in her hand and effortlessly snatched it away.

"Tang."

"Master, I am here!"

Liu Xiaotang hurriedly stepped forward, and the light shimmered in Xia Qinglian's hand as she wiped Ye Xiyue's aura off the short sword and handed it to Liu Xiaotang:

"This is an immortal artifact. Your cultivation level is temporarily unable to control it. Keep it with you until you reach the Nascent Soul stage; then it can serve as your protective magical artifact."

Liu Xiaotang promptly accepted the short sword, his eyes gleaming with excitement, and knelt on the ground:

"Thank you, Master!"

"Xia Qinglian!!" Ye Xiyue was infuriated beyond measure to see her magical artifact casually handed to a young girl by Xia Qinglian.

Suddenly, her face changed, and she let out a miserable scream, collapsing and rolling on the ground in agony.

She couldn't help but start to wail.

The ethereal Moon White Fairy Skirt was soon covered in dirt as she rolled, and her waterfall-like black hair was dust-laden.

The grand Fairy Xiyue, at this moment, was no better than a lowly beggar.

"Ah!!"

"Xia Qinglian! I... I'll kill you! Ah!!!"

Ye Xiyue's voice became increasingly shrill and hoarse, her eyes nearly bursting, tears of blood flowing from them.

All the surrounding members of the Cyan Lotus Sect felt unable to watch and turned their gaze away.

"Dear."

Qin Gengyun held Xia Qinglian's hand, indicating she should not waste her spiritual power anymore.

Xia Qinglian's expression slightly relaxed, and the unbearable pain within Ye Xiyue gradually subsided.

She lay on the ground, disheveled and powerless, unable to get up again.

Xia Qinglian said indifferently, "I have implanted a Demon Seed in Jian Yue's body. When she separated from you, she transferred it into your body."

"With just a thought, I can make you wish for death over life."

"Now, you can only submit to me, or..."

Xia Qinglian looked down at Ye Xiyue, "You can also choose to die."

Ye Xiyue's body stiffened, and she raised her hand to look at Xia Qinglian with intense resentment:

"I will kill you!"

Xia Qinglian smiled, "The Demon Seed within you is connected to me. If I die, you will die too."

Ye Xiyue's fists clenched, making a creaking sound, and she shouted angrily, "Does the Demon Sect only know such tricks?!"

Xia Qinglian sneered, "The Separating Yang and Yin Technique that gave you a Demon Embryo is a cultivation technique from the Zhenyang Sect. What does it have to do with the Demon Sect?"

Ye Xiyue was stunned.

Xia Qinglian looked down at her, speaking calmly, "Ye Xiyue, you have been stuck at the Nascent Soul Peak for years, unable to advance to Divinity Transformation, hence giving rise to your heart demons."

"You abandoned the Great Path, secretly practiced forbidden techniques, allowing the Demon Embryo to take advantage of this."

"You developed heart demons first, then the Demon Embryo, leading to today's defeat. You don't face your true self, yet you blame the Cyan Lotus Sect."

"With such a mindset, how can you ascend to the Great Path?"

"Haha...hahaha...hahahaha!" Suddenly, Ye Xiyue burst into laughter, her hair disheveled, looking almost insane.

"Xia Qinglian, you knew what challenges awaited in Divinity Transformation, which is why you haven't dared to break through all these years."

"You know that no one has ascended in the past five hundred years, there's definitely something strange in the Upper Realm."

"Yet, as the number one on the Hongzhou Continent, you don't dare to pave a path for the cultivators of the world!"

"You say I don't face my true self, but aren't you the same?"

Xia Qinglian sneered, "I train in the Profound Ice and Li Fire Technique, you train in the Supreme Heart-Severing Sword, Su Hongling trains in the Thunder Sword Technique, each cultivator in the world has a different path."

"The path I walk, how could the rest of the world tread it?"

"Ye Xiyue, if you can't even see this, what right do you have to enter Divinity Transformation?"

"What right..."

Xia Qinglian took a step forward, her embroidered shoes landing in front of Ye Xiyue's eyes.

"To not submit to me?"

...

Lianhua House.

The largest brothel in West Imperial City.

It was already 1 a.m., but Lianhua House was still full of boisterous chatter and indulgence.

Glamorously dressed women danced seductively on the stage on the first floor.

The enchanting courtesan walked up to the second floor with her patron.

The madam at the entrance welcomed a constant stream of guests with a smile.

At this moment, a woman in a black cloud chiffon skirt swayed her hips as she walked into Lianhua House.

Her appearance was enchanting, with a naturally cold demeanor, yet she exhibited a flirtatious and wanton manner.

A woman, entering a brothel so openly.

The madam at the entrance was caught in a daze, and the patrons coming and going all stopped in their tracks, their eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets.

"Isn't this Fairy Ye of the Zhenyang Sect?!"

Someone recognized Jian Yue's appearance, prompting waves of astonishment.

"Why would Fairy Ye come to Lianhua House?"

"Am I drunk seeing things?"

Amidst a chorus of exclamations, Jian Yue let out a giggle, swaying her hips, revealing a small stretch of snow-white leg inadvertently, causing fervent cheers.

A madam approached, "Fairy Ye, what brings you to Lianhua House?"

The madam was sweating profusely. The renowned Fairy Ye of the era, unexpectedly appeared in the most famous brothel of West Imperial City—an unimaginable sight, even in dreams!

Jian Yue sauntered into Lianhua House, the music and songs inside coming to a halt, everyone staring at her blankly.

"Hehehe."

Jian Yue's charming laughter made countless men grow parched in their mouths, but she turned to the madam and said:

"Summon all the best courtesans to accompany me!"

"Ah?" The madam was stunned, thinking she misheard.

The most famous fairy of the Leader of the Righteous Path came to a brothel for companionship?

Am I insane or has the world gone mad?

"Hurry, the night is short, this fairy wants to enjoy it to the fullest, hehe!"

Jian Yue casually tossed out five hundred Spirit Marrow, which nearly knocked the madam unconscious, and she quickly guided Jian Yue up to the second-floor Room A:

"Fairy Ye, please wait in Room A; the ladies will arrive shortly!"

Jian Yue swayed her hips up to the second floor and, halfway up, looked back at the still-dazed girls and patrons, giving a coy smile:

"What are you standing there for? Continue playing music and dancing!"
