Inside the Sky-Mending Secret Realm, at the temporary base of the Holy Land of Yaochi.
Major sects such as the Holy Land of Yaochi were aware that teleportation was random because they had explored the Sky-Mending Secret Realm before. For this reason, they specially refined positioning artifacts to help their disciples regroup quickly.
In fact, Chu Feng was originally supposed to have one too. It was with Eunuch Cao. But before Eunuch Cao could give it to him, Chu Feng had already entered the realm.
Inside a hastily set-up tent, a woman in white flipped through a book in her hands. Her cold, beautiful eyes betrayed no emotion, and an aura of “stay away” radiated from her entire being.
Facing her sat a young man in red, wearing a benevolent smile on his face.
“Miss Liu, what a coincidence. Even after entering the Sky-Mending Secret Realm, we’ve managed to meet again here. I know that my current cultivation level is a bit lower than yours, but if you give me enough time, I will prove myself.”
The red-robed young man was named Su Mo, the Holy Son of the Flowing Cloud Sect.
The Flowing Cloud Sect and the Holy Land of Yaochi had a fairly good relationship. Upon hearing that the legendary Saintess of Yaochi had emerged from seclusion, he came with the intention of strengthening ties between the two factions and hopefully gaining an ally in the Sky-Mending Secret Realm.
But unexpectedly, the moment he laid eyes on the legendary Saintess Liu Xueyao, it was love at first sight. She was simply too beautiful!
Especially her otherworldly, cold, celestial temperament… it was the ultimate weapon against any man.
No matter how hard he tried to start a conversation, the Saintess of Yaochi didn’t just ignore him. She hadn’t even looked him in the eye once.
The Holy Land of Yaochi didn’t interfere with the Flowing Cloud Sect’s Holy Son’s behavior either.
After all, it was two geniuses interacting. If something were to come of it, his status was enough to be worthy of the Saintess of Yaochi.
Of course, it absolutely could not be forced.
Liu Xueyao acted as though she hadn’t heard anything, her eyes fixed on the book in her hands.
In truth, the book wasn’t some rare cultivation manual. It contained all available information on Chu Feng.
Liu Xueyao scanned each word carefully. Just as she suspected, she wasn’t the only one who had been reborn. They all had.
Lu Xiyue had revoked Lin Ruo’s status as a personal disciple. Bai Yuyan was getting too close to her husband. According to insider information, the Empress of the Great Yan was even preparing to get engaged to him.
But none of that mattered to her.
What she truly cared about was that her husband should have entered the Sky-Mending Secret Realm by now.
In their previous life, it was inside the Sky-Mending Secret Realm that she and her husband had, by chance, ended up sleeping together.
At first, she had intended to kill him. But in that moment… she had taken the initiative. In the end, she didn’t go through with it and simply pretended nothing had happened.
Later, as her husband rose step by step in power, he had come to visit the Holy Land of Yaochi…and gradually, he made his way into her heart.
If it hadn’t been for dealing with Lin Ruo, and if her husband hadn’t feared that failure might drag her down, he would’ve agreed to her proposal of marriage long ago.
At that moment, a female disciple walked in and respectfully said to Liu Xueyao, “Your Holiness, we’ve captured a pervert. How should we deal with him?”
Before Liu Xueyao could speak, Su Mo interjected, “A pervert? What I hate most are perverts! Miss Liu, with people like that, there’s nothing to discuss…just execute him on the spot.”
However, neither the female disciple nor Liu Xueyao paid him any attention.
To the female disciple, the only answer that mattered was the one from the Saintess.
When Liu Xueyao heard the word “pervert” for some reason, a strange feeling stirred in her heart.
Then, her cherry lips gently parted as she asked, “Who is he?”
Su Mo’s eyes instantly widened. He had been trying to talk to her all this time without even getting a glance, yet a mere pervert had gotten her to speak!?
Could it be… Liu Xueyao is actually interested in perverts?
Upon hearing the Saintess’s question, the female disciple promptly answered, “Reporting to Your Holiness, according to what the pervert himself said, he is Chu Feng from the Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect, a personal disciple of the Moonlight Sword Fairy.”
Pa!
The book in Liu Xueyao’s hands slipped and fell to the floor. The cold, emotionless depths of her beautiful eyes suddenly rippled with emotion.
Husband.
Then, under the stunned gazes of the female disciple and Su Mo, Liu Xueyao calmly picked up the fallen book and slowly stood up.
“I want to see him.”
***
“This is the pervert that Senior Sister brought back?”
“Mhm, Senior Sister has gone to report to the Saintess. We’d better not let him escape.”
“Now that I get a good look at him, this pervert actually looks pretty handsome. I’m suddenly feeling a bit hungry.”
“Oh please, with that scrawny little frame of his, he wouldn’t survive you sitting on him.”
One voice was slightly rough, the other crisp and clear.
In front of the two women, Chu Feng was tightly bound.
Listening to their ravenous lines, Chu Feng looked at the woman with the rougher voice. Her arm was as thick as his thigh. Sure, he wasn’t too picky about body types, but a human tank was a hard pass. That kind of thing could be fatal.
“Ladies, I swear this is a misunderstanding! I entered the Sky-Mending Secret Realm on my own, and there was no one else around. I heard voices, so naturally I was happy to find people. Who would’ve thought I’d barge in on you all by accident?”
Chu Feng felt like he was the reincarnation of Dou E, so wronged was he. No matter what he said, the women of the Holy Land of Yaochi simply wouldn’t believe him. He even revealed his identity and showed them the token his master gave him as a personal disciple.
But they still didn’t believe him. They claimed that the Moonlight Sword Fairy would never take in a pervert as a disciple and insisted the token was a fake.
Upon hearing that, Chu Feng was so angry he nearly spat blood.
Now he finally understood why Eunuch Cao had warned him to stay away from the women of the Holy Land of Yaochi. It wasn’t just that they hated men…they wouldn’t even give one a chance to explain.
Chu Feng twisted his body, trying to break free from the ropes, but he had no idea what material they were made of. They were incredibly strong, and he couldn’t even circulate the true energy within his body. Otherwise, he would have summoned Little Bai and broken out by force.
If he had known it would come to this, he wouldn’t have surrendered so easily. What a bitter regret.
But what awaited him next was likely tears behind iron bars.
The burly woman noticed Chu Feng struggling and warned,
“Don’t bother trying to escape. That’s a Demon-Binding Rope. Even a fifth-rank beast couldn’t break free from it.”
Even a fifth-rank can’t break free?!
Chu Feng was stunned. He was only a second-rank cultivator…wasn’t this total overkill?
At that point, Chu Feng gave up trying to escape and just lay there like a salted fish.
“Um, sisters, what will your Saintess do with me?”
From what the two women had said earlier, the other had gone to report to the Saintess. All Chu Feng could do was hope that the Saintess of the Holy Land of Yaochi was more reasonable than they were.
“Hmph! Don’t expect Her Highness the Saintess to go easy on you. The lightest punishment would be breaking three of your legs.”
The slender woman placed her hands on her hips and said:
Break… three legs?!
That was even more painful than just killing Chu Feng outright.
Just then, a female disciple came running over, shouting, “Her Highness the Saintess is here! Hurry and go greet her!”
Surprise flashed across the faces of the two women guarding Chu Feng, and they immediately ran out.
A golden opportunity!
Seeing that no one was watching him, Chu Feng knew he had to seize the moment.
He turned into a human caterpillar. He started wriggling across the ground with all his might.
“Come on! You got this!”
Chu Feng encouraged himself.
Suddenly, a pair of shoes appeared in front of him.
Huh?
Chu Feng looked up and saw a pair of long, fair legs. Then, a cold and stunningly beautiful face came into view. The woman before him looked like a graceful and ethereal fairy.
Who is this?
The next moment, she uttered something that shocked everyone present.
“Husband.”
