The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife

Chapter 236: Chapter 135: Duanmu Qing (Part 3)

Qingqing never expected that he would actually leave the sect personally to "fetch" her back.

Of course, he didn’t truly care for her; he was concerned about something else.

Sure enough, upon arrival, Shou Xuzi earnestly advised Qingqing:

"This time you’ve caused a fuss, leaving the sect for nearly six months, which is greatly detrimental to the growth of the demonic fetus."

"As the Saintess, you should think more about the responsibilities on your shoulders and the mission you bear; you can’t be so willful next time."

"Otherwise..." Shou Xuzi’s tone turned cold, "Even the Sect Leader can’t protect you anymore; sect rules will deal with you."

Qingqing sneered, completely ignoring him.

At the same time, she came to understand that when Yao Yufei let her down the mountain, she hadn’t informed those old immortals, no wonder they were so anxious.

Shou Xuzi was indifferent to Duanmu Qing’s attitude. To him, this young girl was merely a sacrifice to nurture the demonic fetus.

As long as she hadn’t lost limbs and could maintain the upcoming tributes, that would suffice.

What truly enraged Shou Xuzi was Yao Yufei, that vile woman. The last time, she made threats, saying the successful cultivation of the demonic fetus was entirely dependent on her whim.

Back then, Shou Xuzi and the others thought Yao Yufei was bluffing, but unexpectedly, she turned around and sent her daughter away, claiming Duanmu Qing escaped by herself, a story not even a three-year-old would believe.

Both sides openly and covertly battled for some time; Shou Xuzi and his group even captured other cultivators with special constitutions, attempting to feed them to the demonic fetus. However, none yielded the previous strengthening effect, and the growth pace of the demonic fetus slowed.

Therefore, Shou Xuzi and the others could only temporarily tolerate this woman occupying the Sect Leader’s position, waiting for the demonic fetus to mature before settling the total score with her.

Regardless, for at least the next thirty years, nothing must happen to Duanmu Qing, otherwise the maturity of the demonic fetus would be delayed by at least a century; its formal emergence would be even further away.

This demonic fetus has been passed down in the Li’an Demon Sect for almost a thousand years, consuming countless souls and flesh, painstakingly maturing. Shou Xuzi eagerly anticipates the kind of mighty demon it will birth.

With it, the strength of the Li’an Demon Sect will greatly enhance, presumably trampling sects like Mo Luo Palace and Nine Nether Sect underfoot, becoming the premier sect in the demon path.

Subsequently, Shou Xuzi ceased to heed Duanmu Qing, simply closed his eyes and returned to the sect with the others.

He would like to take Duanmu Qing away directly, but Granny Jin Hua and Number Ten are Yao Yufei’s people, definitely daring to fight him to the death; now is not the time to tear faces...

Accompanying Shou Xuzi was a handsome-faced, calm-tempered young man.

He wore the black Profound Nether Armor radiating dark and cold gleams, but it was not the basic version of the Profound Tier previously used by Qingqing for trading with Chu Xuan, rather the highest-quality Celestial Tier version, of which there were few in the entire Demon Sect.

Silently waiting until Shou Xuzi finished talking with Duanmu Qing, the man then stepped over concernfully and asked her, "Qingniang, are you alright?"

Qingqing furrowed her brow, "I’ve said countless times, don’t call me by my pet name, you have no right to."

Despite her unfriendly attitude, the man wasn’t angered, simply nodded, "Half a year ago I heard you secretly fled down the mountain, I’ve been very worried, even seeking permission from the Sect Leader to go out and find you, yet she wouldn’t allow it."

Qingqing sneered, "Let it be, Li Chengfeng, even if Yao Yufei agreed, would you dare to lead a team and set out? Wouldn’t you have to ask your father, ask your mother, ask your family’s ancestors?"

Li Chengfeng’s face turned somewhat unsightly, "No, now I’m independently in charge of a division, not as immature as you imagine."

Qingqing, in a bad mood, said no more, not giving him a good face.

Throughout the Li’an Demon Sect, Granny Jin Hua and Li Chengfeng are among the few Qingqing can ascertain harbor no ill intentions towards her.

The former has cared for Qingqing for a long time; each time subjected to punishment in Yama Palace, it was she who led her in, afterwards bathing and dressing her exhausted self.

As for Li Chengfeng, this brat’s origin is extraordinary, being the direct great-grandson of an ancestor of Li’an Demon Sect. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

This ancestor holds the Supreme Elder position, but he has been in secluded cultivation for years, striving to break through to the ninth realm, essentially ignoring the sect’s factional struggles, existing as a transcendent neutral.

Li Chengfeng was detected at birth as possessing the extremely rare Profound Nether Nine Nether Body, coincidentally matching the Cultivation Technique practiced by this ancestor.

Being his direct lineage descendant and possessing exceptional cultivation talent, this child naturally earns his affection.

Rumors within the sect suggest the ancestor already views him as a successor.

Moreover, Li Chengfeng’s parents are also actual authority elders within the sect. They, having a child late in life, with such a talented son, naturally shower him with endless love.

Ultimately, both factions within the sect aim to draw the neutral faction to bolster their strength, thus targeting Li Chengfeng is a desirable breakthrough.

Hence, Li Chengfeng has been almost universally respected within the sect from childhood, thankfully, under the ancestor’s concern for his growth, he hasn’t developed any bad habits, nor become a useless, profligate son.

Yet in Qingqing’s eyes, this guy is indecisive, obeying instructions from his parents and ancestors in everything, lacking any self-direction.

He has liked her since childhood; Qingqing has long known this. Back when her father was alive, this brat would follow her everywhere.

Originally, Qingqing didn’t dislike him as much, during the childhood playmate period, she would command this little follower to do her bidding daily. ƒrēewebnovel.com

Until her life encountered drastic change, when she cried for help from him, he returned to ask his parents, then expressed his helplessness...
