Free Web NovelChapter 237: Chapter 136: Yao Yufei
On Chu Xuan’s side, after various attempts, he also made the old ghost swear on the Six Souls Banner. Whether it worked or not, he couldn’t just swear without the old ghost doing so.
The old ghost hesitated for a moment but ultimately obeyed.
Although the Six Souls Banner didn’t react, seemingly without the function to bind oaths, Chu Xuan felt a bit more at ease and asked the old ghost to fully enhance his speed.
The old ghost then applied the "Ten Thousand Miles Wandering Soul Curse" on him, temporarily transforming into a soul for flight. The speed was much faster than Chu Xuan’s own Sword Flight.
Despite this, the people from the Li’an Demon Sect departed first, and Chu Xuan was delayed for quite some time without any means of long-distance tracking, only able to ask the old ghost for directions and headed towards the Demon Sect’s mountain gate.
He had a vague sense of worry in his heart that if he truly couldn’t catch up, he might have to find a way to infiltrate the Demon Sect. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
...
On the road, it took about three or four days for Qingqing and her party to return to the Li’an Demon Sect.
After entering the mountain gate, according to Shouxuzi’s idea, they should immediately send Duanmu Qing to the Yama Palace, mentioning things like "the demon fetus is starving".
However, Yao Yufei sent someone to meet her early on, saying she wanted to have a conversation with the Saintess and that she should go tomorrow.
Shouxuzi was somewhat displeased upon hearing this but left anyway.
He secretly decided that tomorrow he would personally go to the Yama Palace. If he didn’t see the sacrifice being devoured by the demon fetus, he’d worry that Yao Yufei was scheming behind the scenes.
The others also dispersed, and Li Chengfeng wanted to say something to Duanmu Qing, but she ignored him and merely followed Silver Flower Granny to the main hall on the main peak.
Watching the figure gradually recede, Li Chengfeng sighed. For years, was it not that he didn’t want to help Qing Niang? He couldn’t help her.
The cultivation of the demon fetus concerns the entire sect’s interests; not to mention the two factions fighting openly and secretly, even their own ancestors were happy to facilitate this event.
Li Chengfeng once cautiously asked the ancestor if he could step in to save Qing Niang, but the elder just lightly said, "Just endure a bit longer. It won’t kill her."
However, Li Chengfeng was somewhat scared. Over the years, there have been rumors in the sect wanting the demon fetus to truly become stronger. In the final stage, the Saintess must be completely consumed by it.
Otherwise, it only accelerates the nurturing process without significantly strengthening.
With the style of those Supreme Elders, even if it’s just a guess, they might force the Sect Leader to do this. No, the rumors were very likely spread by them!
As for whether the Sect Leader would actually do such a thing, people felt it only depended on having enough benefits...
With such worries, Li Chengfeng thought year after year about whether to take Qing Niang away from here? freewebnøvel.coɱ
But he knew very well that such a thing is impossible to succeed. Don’t even mention how to escape the chase after leaving the sect; they couldn’t even take a single step out of the mountain gate.
So finally, Li Chengfeng could only comfort himself: a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, and a hero of great talent like the Sect Leader shouldn’t be so short-sighted, nor would she be pushed to such a point by Shouxuzi and the others.
Once Qing Niang’s "sentence" ends and the demon fetus fully matures, he would surely protect her well.
Moreover, in the next thirty years, Li Chengfeng made up his mind to stand by the Sect Leader’s side, helping her fully defeat Shouxuzi and truly unifying the entire sect.
If successful, the Sect Leader would surely favor him.
In the end, with the help and approval of the Sect Leader, truly being with Qing Niang wouldn’t be impossible.
Li Chengfeng knew Qing Niang had always been mad at him, but she would understand in the future; he really loved her, only that he was helpless.
He swore to spend his life making it up to her, using a sincere heart to move her and make her turn back to him.
...
In the Li’an Hall, Qingqing pulled off her veil, expressionlessly following Silver Flower Granny to enter.
In the hall, a mature and beautiful woman in a long black dress with wide sleeves sat high up, gazing at her daughter with a half-smiling look.
The woman appeared to be in her thirties, her black hair cascading like a waterfall, her skin as white as snow.
Her face was exceptionally gorgeous, her body curvaceous, especially her full and soft breasts which were remarkably sized. Evidently, Qingqing inherited well her mother’s advantages in this aspect.
Her face shape was somewhat similar to Qingqing’s but overall more grand.
Most importantly, she had an innate intimidating allure, making her high and mighty, resembling a goddess, a ghost, an Avalokiteshvara, a Rakshasa, but not a human.
In summary, she was a cold and alluring beauty worthy of the title of enchantress.
"You’ve finally come back. Mother missed you greatly these days," Yao Yufei’s voice was captivating, slightly magnetic.
Qingqing lifted her head, looking at her with cold eyes, not believing a word of her lies.
"I’ve already got a general understanding of your situation after going down the mountain."
"That person, he calls you ’Qingqing’, right? It sounds quite pleasant. Can I call you that too?" Yao Yufei asked with a smile.
"Shut up!" Qingqing was instantly enraged, even feeling a slight terror deep down. Suddenly mentioning Chu Xuan, what is this woman trying to do? Threaten her?
"Don’t be so angry. I’m, after all, your mother. It’s normal to care about the people close to you, isn’t it? Can’t let you be lured away by those nasty men," Yao Yufei said casually.
"You’re the nasty one!"
"Smack~!" Yao Yufei, expressionless, slapped her, "Is this how you talk to your mother?"
