Banshee Family Training Record

Page 379

She brushed it off like that, and Yan Shui didn't suspect a thing. She had no idea that just last night, her junior sister had already discovered her affair with Yun Chu'an.

She then said softly, "Yue'er, things have changed. Perhaps we shouldn't use so many people for patrols and guard duty."

"Do you want to help Youling? She's still using that monster to set traps to lure the ruthless sect members. She needs your help."

Dongfang Yue nodded. Now that she knew about the relationship between Yun Chuan and Yan Shuiyi, she no longer felt any aversion towards Su Youling.

She turned and sped off to meet up with Su Youling. Yan Shuiyi also got to work, getting back on track for the day.

……

Outside the secret realm, at the Qin army's camp.

Looking at the ruins scattered on the ground, the Qin general, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator wearing a black crown and golden armor, had a gloomy expression and felt his hands trembling.

Behind him, a soldier came up, knelt on one knee, and said in a trembling voice, "Lord Li, it has been verified that... no one in the entire camp survived."

"Moreover, the enemy's methods were extremely cruel. None of the soldiers were left with intact corpses. In fact... they deliberately desecrated the bodies, making their methods extremely bloody and cruel!"

As he reported this, his own voice trembled involuntarily. Even after years of battlefield experience, the brutal methods he witnessed still filled him with dread.

He couldn't help but think, "The person was killed, the battle was won, shouldn't it be over already? Why go through all that trouble of dismembering him?"

Is it to satisfy his perverse sadistic desires?

He didn't know it, but at that moment, he felt his heart tremble. Subconsciously, he had already made up his mind: this group of evil and heretical people must be completely wiped out!

However, this soldier empathized with the other soldiers who were brutally murdered and felt anger at the fate of his comrades who were in the same situation as him.

But at this moment, the golden-armored Nascent Soul Pillar of the State surnamed Li was thinking about something else entirely.

Troublesome. The Ruthless Cult would choose this time to exact revenge.

This secret realm was already unstable recently, and then Lü Shiwei went missing, his whereabouts unknown. This latest commotion has only made things worse.

He frowned deeply, and his fists clenched involuntarily.

No, the Xuanhuang Mother Beast absolutely cannot be harmed. If the supply of Xuanhuang Mother Qi is disrupted, it will directly impact His Majesty's great cause!

Therefore, the priority right now is still to eliminate the rebel force that has suddenly risen in the desert!

As for these people...

We'll settle these scores later!

"Give me the order!"

He said in a deep voice, "Enter the secret realm and head to the area where the 'Xuanhuang Mother Beast' is located. We must find out exactly who is hindering the grand ambitions of my Qin Kingdom!"

After he said this, the soldier behind him suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with undisguised shock.

This massacre was clearly the work of the Ruthless Cult. When the adults saw this tragedy, they actually...didn't they investigate?

He didn't know, but it was a decision made by a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and it wasn't his place to question it.

Helpless, he could only lower his head and accept the order. Then, his heart began to pound, and he couldn't imagine how the other soldiers would react to such an order...

……

Time passes day by day.

After Dongfang Yue discovered the truth, only a few days had actually passed before Su Youling's trap was already set. Now, all that was needed was to quietly wait for the Ruthless Cult to take the bait, and everything would be fine.

Under the command of this Daoist girl, the entire rebel army began to shrink its forces, making room for retreat at any time.

This didn't bother them much, since they hadn't planned to stay here for long when they first arrived. Their original plan was to capture the monster and then retreat.

Therefore, they have now naturally given up large areas that they originally controlled, allowing the Ruthless Cult members to move more freely.

Subsequently, Su Youling personally cast a spell, causing a commotion on the scene. The four elemental forces of water, fire, wind, and thunder circulated continuously, creating the illusion that the subjugation of the Xuanhuang Mother Beast was about to be completed and everything would be fine soon.

The next step is to wait for the members of the Ruthless Cult to arrive, and then wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

Yun Chu'an was also present at the scene, and at the core of the sealed area, he saw the legendary "Xuanhuang Mother Beast". Although it was called a "mother beast", it had no characteristics that could prove that it was a female demon beast.

It looks more like a giant earth dragon, nearly a hundred meters long from front to back, and about fifty meters high at its highest point. It is definitely a super behemoth.

It has two huge horns like those of a rhinoceros growing from the top of its head to the bridge of its nose, its body is covered with armor that looks like a tortoise shell, its four legs are thicker than stone pillars, and its tail at the rear of its rear forms a structure like a meteor hammer at the end, making it look terrifying.

This creature seemed to lack intelligence. It was either inside the sealing barrier painstakingly built by Zuo Qian and the others, or rolling around in the rolling yellow sand as if taking a bath, or charging around recklessly, trying to break through the barrier and escape.

Alternatively, it could absorb the surrounding earth elemental energy, condense it, then manipulate it with its two front paws to create an earth spirit giant with the Xuanhuang Mother Qi as its core, and then throw it around to let the surrounding creatures wreak havoc.

Aside from its immense power, this monster didn't pose much of a real threat.

Facing the Xuanhuang Mother Beast, Su Youling floated in mid-air, her hands constantly forming hand seals, the four elemental powers of water, fire, wind, and thunder continuously shifting to maintain the seal in front of her.

She was clearly not feeling well at the moment; a bead of sweat glistened on her forehead and the tip of her nose, making her already fair skin appear even more translucent.

Even so, Zuo Qian and Gu Yu, who were standing not far away, both had eyes full of amazement.

After all, this girl was only at the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

"She accomplished something that so many of us couldn't do all by herself." He couldn't help but exclaim, "This girl is truly remarkable."

Gu Yu gazed at everything ahead, staring at Su Youling's stunningly beautiful figure. Her eyes were filled with envy, and she couldn't help but fantasize about how wonderful it would be if she could have Su Youling's strength.

That way, I don't have to worry about so many things, and I can go wherever I want.

It's also possible...

Her mind was racing, and she couldn't help but turn her head to the other side, her gaze landing on Yun Chu'an.

From Gu Yu's perspective, Yun Chu'an maintained his calm and composed demeanor, as if he had everything under control. His powerful and composed appearance made Gu Yu want to look at him more.

Unbeknownst to her, Yun Chu'an was also quite anxious at that moment. He had just returned from a patrol of the outer perimeter, still empty-handed. Meeting with Yan Shui, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Will this work? Won't the Heartless Sect see through our plan? They don't seem to have fallen for it..."

For the first time, he was so worried that, like Dongfang Yue, he began to have some doubts about Su Youling's abilities.

Yan Shuiyi seemed quite philosophical about it. She said softly, "While the Daoist divination techniques aren't 100% accurate, they're among the most reliable in the world." (The last sentence appears to be a nonsensical string of characters and doesn't translate directly.)

"Trust her, anyway..."

Thinking about this, she also felt that she was being a bit unfair: "Anyway, she's been the most tired these past few days, while we've all been quite relaxed."

Chapter 751 What if Senior Sister Likes You...

Yun Chu'an chuckled and whispered, "Then we can put more of our time and energy into... that..."

He flirted with her, and Yan Shui's face flushed slightly.

Looking at the two of them so intimately together, Dongfang Yue felt even more heartbroken.

After learning the truth, she unconsciously began to pay attention to the traces that Yan Shuiyi would involuntarily reveal in her life.

She had never considered this possibility before, and therefore could always come up with other explanations. But now, as she consciously observed, she discovered that Yan Shui's flaws were simply too numerous to count!

For example, the low breathing that comes from her tent every night.

For example, when she woke up in the morning, her face always had a flushed look, as if she hadn't yet lost her spring fever.

For example, sometimes when she's with Yun Chu'an, even though she tries very hard to keep her distance, as soon as she relaxes her mind a little, she can't help but stick close to him...

All signs point to what happened to these two people before this.

Whenever Dongfang Yue thought of Yan Shuiyi writhing and moaning under Yun Chuan's body, and even the image of her lips turning inside out and love juice flowing freely after he finally penetrated her, she couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

She looked at Yun Chu'an with a cold expression, her face showing some awkwardness and unnaturalness, and said stiffly, "Alright, alright, Chu'an, it's time for us to go on patrol together. Don't delay, let's set off quickly, who knows what kind of enemies are waiting for us."

To minimize casualties, patrols are now mostly conducted in pairs after the bait is set up, with at least one late-stage Golden Core cultivator accompanying another early-stage Golden Core cultivator for greater safety.

Yun Chu'an didn't say much, nodded and set off. Dongfang Yue followed behind him; it just so happened that it was their turn to patrol and monitor the area today.

They also serve as bait, guiding them to the location of the Xuanhuang Mother Beast if attacked.

However, the cultists are very patient, and to this day, no actual attack has occurred.

Dongfang Yue felt relieved, especially with Yun Chuan nearby, so she didn't need to worry too much.

Now, having a rare opportunity to be alone with him, she couldn't help but lower her head. She had so much to say, but didn't know where to begin.

Yun Chu'an noticed her strange state, and for a moment, his expression changed: "What's wrong, Miss Dongfang?"

He maintained his proper politeness, then saw Dongfang Yue purse her lips, then raise her head and, feigning casualness, ask, "Yun Chu'an, I have a question for you, you..."

Do you like my senior sister?

Yun Chuan'an's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Dongfang Yue had always liked Yan Shuiyi, and there must be a deeper meaning behind her sudden question.

"Of course I like her." He said without changing his expression, as if it were a matter of course. "Yan Shui is such a strong, outstanding, upright and kind girl, who wouldn't like her?"

He avoided the topic, and Dongfang Yue looked up, her brows furrowed and her eyes flickering.

By now, she was pretty sure that the reason their relationship had never been made public was most likely her senior's idea.

Because it seems that my senior sister is not yet ready to get married formally.

And Yun Chuan...

Rationally, Dongfang Yue felt she could trust him and believe in his courage to take responsibility. But this wasn't something she could judge based on reason alone; emotionally, she felt she needed to find an explanation.

"Then let me ask it another way."

She said, "If, I mean, if my senior sister fell in love with you and wanted to be with you, but now you already have a family, then..."

She looked into his eyes: "Of course, if, I mean all of this, is based on the premise of 'if'."

"So, under this hypothetical condition, Yun Chu'an, what would you do?"

Yun Chu'an was speechless.

At this moment, without needing to say more, he had already confirmed one thing: Dongfang Yue already knew, although he didn't know through what channels or what kind of coincidences had occurred.

But clearly, she knew, but perhaps out of a desire to protect Yan Shuiyi, she didn't intend to make the matter public too early, so she used this method to give herself a heads-up.

At this thought, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings). Indeed, nothing stays hidden forever; the truth eventually came out.

However, he wasn't afraid.

He was prepared and ready to face any challenge, ready to shoulder all responsibilities as a man.

So he answered without hesitation, "I will give her a grand wedding and let the whole world know that she is my wife."

His answer was resolute; this was something he had already planned. "You sing of your forest, but I have none; your forest is here, but I don't..."

Dongfang Yue was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. Her original guesses had probably come true. At this moment, she really didn't know what else to say.

She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and her heart softened. She could no longer feel any resistance towards her brother-in-law.

Although she originally had some basic affection for him and didn't really dislike him.

"Well... that's fine too."

She said softly, with a hint of reluctance in her voice, "What if... what if such a thing really happened?"

"I'm entrusting my senior sister to your care without worry."

Yun Chu'an smiled gently, and she understood him perfectly: "If that day ever comes, I will definitely take good care of her and make her the happiest woman in the world."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yue had nothing more to say. She turned her face away and looked into the distance.

A new emotion was brewing within her. She hadn't even figured out what kind of feeling had suddenly welled up inside her, but at that very moment, something unexpected happened!

A crimson blade of energy suddenly swept horizontally, its target aimed directly at Dongfang Yue's dantian.

In an instant, the sense of impending death surged into her mind!

It was Li Chengxiao who took action.

These past few days, the leader of the Ruthless Cult has been in a state of extreme mental instability. He is constantly suspicious that his subordinates have betrayed him, and even with confirmed intelligence, he still wonders if it is a trap, that his subordinates are conspiring with the enemy to assassinate him and usurp his position as leader.

Therefore, these days he has been hesitant in his actions. Even though he has already caught very obvious signs, he still dares not take action himself. Instead, he observes from the outside and wants to verify the authenticity of each piece of information one by one.

This greatly reduced his efficiency, which is also the fundamental reason why Su Youling had to wait so many more days even though she had already set up the trap.

But today, Li Chengxiao, who was hiding in the shadows and still observing, suddenly became uneasy.

He couldn't stay calm.

He saw a man and a woman, a handsome couple, coming together.

The man was young, tall and handsome, with a refined demeanor, abundant spiritual power, and formidable cultivation; he was just like himself.

The female cultivator was clever and quirky, with a beautiful appearance and a graceful figure. She accompanied him like a couple.

So much like...

He and his childhood sweetheart, just like they were back then.
