Spirit Vessel

Liu Suhong's eyes turned cold and the temperature in the room decreased as well.

"Poof!" The lamp became frozen so everything turned dark. Of course, this didn't matter to cultivators. The two continued to stare at each other.

"That engagement was decided by our grandfathers and hasn't been publicized. Because he conspired with those from the Yin World, the Gu expelled him so this engagement is no longer there."

She paused for a bit then asked: "Who are you married to?" She brought this up instead of talking about the Grand Puppet Art.

"No point in telling you, just know that I'm not lying." He pondered and said.

"That's fine, I'll figure it out myself." She no longer had a smile on her face: "Don't think that I only want to marry you for your treasures. There is something you must understand, you didn't sleep with me, I slept with you, understand? Since you are mine now, you are mine alone and I do not share. I don't care about winning your heart or anything like that either."

Having said that, she got up and left.

Feiyun watched her slender figure departing while touching his chin.

"Poof!" He flicked and caused the lamp to light up again.

"That woman is quite possessive." A turtle climbed out of his chest and jumped down onto the table.

"Yes, only women like her can become potential successors. Pretentious noble girls can't compare." He nodded.

"Why do you always meet this type of woman?"

"That's the personality to become strong cultivators for women, prideful, arrogant, smart, decisive, and ambitious. Without these points, they would have married and become mothers instead of focusing on cultivation."

"Well, that Aquamoon Saintess doesn't match your description." The turtle said.

He pondered and agreed: "She is indeed an exception, can't judge her with conventional wisdom."

Tonight had a bright moon and few stars.

A white figure landed on top of the lake nearby. A ripple pushed out and extinguished the lamps in the pavilion nearby.

Her steps were as gentle as the falling leaves. She landed on the window lattice, revealing her waterfall-like hair and a sword tied to the back. She looked like an immortal that didn't belong in this world.

"Talking behind someone's back is a bad habit." Ethereal words came out from her red lips and white teeth.

Feiyun sat next to the window and was still reading the records. He glanced at her and said: "I thought you wouldn't want to see me, being too ashamed and all."

"I dislike lying and hate liars. If I didn't tell the truth, you would have lied. I'm helping you change your habit." She said.

He rubbed his head exasperatedly and said: "Now I know why you don't fit the mold, you're not a woman."

"Am I a man then?"

"Neither woman nor man, you're the third type, a special breed. That has to be it." He responded.

She didn't respond this time and reached forward. An exquisite palace emerged on top of her palms. Two rays shot out and landed on the ground, turning into two beauties - Yao Ji and Xue Shuang.

"I have returned your friends unscathed." She recalled the palace and said.

"That's not your only goal, I'm sure." He said.

Xuanyuan Yiyi hesitated for a bit before answering: "That day… I saw what you and Liu Suzi did."

His expression slightly changed. What is she talking about? He thought about it and remembered his deed with Liu Suhong.

The latter changed into Liu Suzi back then in order to take his phoenix bloodline. This ended with him going crazy due to his demonic blood and taking her virginity.

She saw that? His mind wasn't normal so he didn't sense anyone.

Shit. He was sure that she wouldn't directly talk to Suzi about this sensitive matter. However, given their friendship, this was only a matter of time.

Once they talked more about it, Liu Suzi would figure out that it was Liu Suhong, not her. This would allow her to force Liu Suhong into the convent for a lifetime of repentance. As for Feiyun, his punishment would be death.

Should I tell Yiyi the truth now so that she won't blabber on? He thought about it and immediately thought that this was idiotic. Yiyi would definitely side with Liu Suzi.

He couldn't afford to be careless given the precarious situation. There was no one he could trust.

The engagement would be decided in the next several days. Yiyi would help Liu Suzi then and everything would be exposed. The situation seemed rather dire.

He gently tapped on the table and caused the light to flicker.

Yiyi could see the change in his expression and said: "This is your personal business and I shouldn't interfere. However, she is a good friend of mine so if you let her down, I will not forgive you, even if it goes against my principles."

"Sigh, I can't believe you said our rendezvous. How is she doing?" He sighed and said.

First, he needed to calm Yiyi down.

"She's a bit anxious lately."

He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth while putting on a bitter expression: "It's all my fault… The truth is that… I'm being forced by Liu Suhong. She wants the treasure from Nine-abyss."

Though Yiyi was smart, she was also too pure-hearted. She said: "I see, then just give it to her. It will bring you nothing but trouble."

"It's not that simple. If I give it to her now, they'll kill me to keep it a secret and destroy all evidence to make people think it has gone missing."

"That's why you have to marry her?" Yiyi asked.

He nodded in response: "That's the only way. As long as we are married publicly, I have a higher chance of survival. I will then give her the treasure and perhaps she won't be so merciless."

"Boom!" He suddenly stood up and slammed the table, cursing at the sky: "Curse you! We lowly half-demons don't even have the chance to resist the imperious tyrants! We can only be slaves… no… inferior to slaves…"

"You should know that we are truly in love, it's just that we can't be together. You have to let Suzi know this…"

He bitterly said: "Tell her to not hate me, Liu Suhong threatens me with the lives of countless demons in the alliance, I can't ignore them. I'll suffer alone since this is my fate…"

Yiyi had many questions and doubts. Alas, seeing his sad appearance made her unable to question him: "You should calm down, Suzi doesn't want to see you like this."

"My life is so shitty, always under someone's else control, is it just because I'm a half-demon, born destined to be wretched?" He smacked the table again and suddenly rushed towards the window to grab her hand: "Saintess, you are a kind person, please, please save me…"

"How… what should I do?" She became anxious since her hand was being firmly held by him.

"You take this goddamned treasure back to Aquamoon Paradise, then Liu Suhong won't covet it anymore." He seemed rather emotional and wanted nothing more than to throw the treasure away.

She frowned and said: "Yes, treasures will incite greed. Aquamoon can indeed hold it for you temporarily. Where is it now?"

"It's in my personal dimension, I'll take you there right now." He said then summoned the large Buddha, gesturing for her to come in.

Yao Ji was also there. She finally understood his act after seeing the pathway to the kingdom and smirked.
