Chapter 160: Chapter 158: Take Her Along to Find Qin Yu?!

Just as Su Xiyue was about to withdraw her fingertip, intending to give up, Leng Ruyu suddenly grabbed her hand, her voice carrying a hint of urgency: "Xiyue sister..."

"Hmm?!"

Leng Ruyu was about to say something, but just by holding Su Xiyue’s hand, she sensed that the raging Black Qi was also restrained and suppressed. This sudden change made her involuntarily let out a light exclamation, full of surprise.

"Let go."

Su Xiyue’s voice was as cold as frost, her expression indifferent.

Even though Leng Ruyu was also a woman, she was not accustomed to such contact.

"Ruyu, don’t be reckless."

The Sect Leader of the Demon Sect, Leng Feng, also spoke from the side, puzzled by his daughter’s behavior.

"I..."

Leng Ruyu hesitated for a moment, as Su Xiyue had already withdrawn her jade-like hand. The next moment, her complexion turned pale again, and the intense pain made her stagger, almost falling.

The next moment, Su Xiyue supported her shoulder.

"Xiyue sister..."

After calling out a few more times, Leng Ruyu found it quite comfortable, and then she revealed the reason for her loss of composure.

"Ruyu, are you saying that just by touching... Fairy Xiyue, the Black Qi is suppressed?"

Even not mentioning Su Xihe and Liu Zixiao, Leng Feng found it somewhat unbelievable.

Could it be that this First Fairy has some special physique?!

Perhaps... it might really be the case.

Although there were speculations outside about her being a Dao Bone, no one could confirm it.

"Yes."

Leng Ruyu nodded, looking at Su Xiyue with some disbelief in her eyes.

Previously, she felt Su Xiyue was not even as good as herself, but now... she realized just how vast the difference between them was.

The moment she held Su Xiyue’s hand, she could sense, perhaps it was an illusion, that there was a peculiar warmth in Xiyue Fairy’s palm.

Yet, when she tried to sense it carefully, it seemed absent.

However, the fact was that just by contact, the Black Qi could be suppressed.

She gave up.

From now on, she would just be the little Demoness of the Demon Sect, and no longer compete for the position of First Fairy.

...

What should be done now?!

Not to mention, Su Xiyue would never accept such an absurd thing.

Even Leng Feng couldn’t leave his beloved daughter alone in the Cyan Mountain Sect.

The Sect Leader of the Demon Sect, staying under the shelter of another, wouldn’t that cause gossip if spread?!

However, Leng Feng could truly feel the subtle changes happening on Leng Ruyu.

As long as she had minor contact with Su Xiyue, even just a finger, she could regain her normalcy, and her aura could even improve.

Although Leng Ruyu never showed any pain in front of him, the pain of flesh-corroding agony, who could endure it?!

Just by looking at her face, pale as paper, one could tell what kind of torment she was silently enduring.

Hence, he made a decision.

"Sect Leader Su, I know this is difficult..."

Leng Feng, with a bitter expression, spoke with difficulty.

Then, as the Sect Leader of the Demon Sect, he actually bowed with a salute, "I hope Sect Leader Su can be accommodating, and Xiyue Fairy can lend a helping hand."

"Give Ruyu half a year, no, one to two months!"

"If there’s no effect within one or two months, I’ll take her back!"

Though he spoke sincerely, even lowering his head, Su Xiyue remained silent.

This was equivalent to a refusal.

Seeing she didn’t give a response, Leng Feng could only talk about conditions again, like promising numerous Elixirs and Spirit Stones.

These were precisely what the Cyan Mountain Sect lacked the most.

Even Su Xihe couldn’t help but admire.

This Demon Sect Leader was really willing to go all out for his daughter!

"During this period, it’s not necessary for Xiyue Fairy to always... watch over my daughter. I have a Jade Thread here; as long as each holds one end, it should be effective..."

Speaking, Leng Feng took out a crystal-clear jade silk thread from his Storage Ring, only ten feet long.

One or two months’ time.

Su Xiyue frowned slightly, still very resistant in her heart.

But if she didn’t agree, the already fragile alliance between the two Immortal Sects might instantly break.

It’s just holding the thread...

And with the length of this thread, residing in a cave mansion would suffice without needing the same room.

"Then two months!"

Finally, she agreed.

She wasn’t doing it for herself, but for the Immortal Sect, for her sister.

Subsequently, after some trial, it indeed was effective.

"Sect Leader Su, please take extra care of my little Ruyu."

Leng Feng clasped his hands again at Su Xihe, filled with earnestness in his words.

"I just hope the Demon Leader can keep his promise and not fail today’s agreement!"

Su Xihe calmly responded.

Thus.

Leng Ruyu began living at the Cyan Mountain Sect.

Saintess Cave Mansion.

"So this is Xiyue sister’s cave mansion, much better than where I live."

Perhaps relieved of the heavy burden and mentally liberated, Leng Ruyu actually initiated conversation with Su Xiyue, and her words carried a hint of flattery.

It seemed she really considered Xiyue her sister now.

"You’ll be living next door."

Su Xiyue remained unmoved, yet seemed to recall something. Immediately, her Dai Mei furrowed lightly.

Two months’ time, not long but not very short either.

But she couldn’t possibly not visit Qin Yu for two months, could she?!

"Sometimes, I will leave the cave mansion for a few hours!"

She was, in a way, giving a heads-up.

"Oh, I could follow sister..."

"No, you can’t!"

Before Leng Ruyu finished speaking, Su Xiyue interrupted her.

What a joke!

Bringing her along to see Qin Yu?!

No need to think about it.

Leng Ruyu pursed her lips, her fingers entwined with a thread, and entered the room next door.

After closing the door, she sat down cross-legged, trying to expel the Black Qi.

However, even if the Black Qi was suppressed, it still firmly rooted in her flesh, deeply penetrated, unaffected by Spiritual Qi or Purple Fire.

"Could it be, destined to be unremovable?"

A trace of bewilderment flickered in Leng Ruyu’s eyes.

She suddenly thought of something: at that time, Su Xiyue was also stained with Black Qi—did this mean that at that time, Su Xiyue was also helpless against the Black Qi like herself?

But now, even a touch could suppress the Black Qi, indicating that there must have been changes in Su Xiyue that she didn’t know about.

What could it possibly be?

...

Qin Yu didn’t know that the little Demoness of the Demon Sect was already residing on the main peak.

Even if he knew, there was no need to fear anything anymore.

After all, his status was different now; he was no longer the junior cultivator of the past.

In the morning, as he headed towards the Sect Leader’s Cave Mansion, he didn’t notice Leng Ruyu wandering in the courtyard of the Saintess Cave Mansion.

With the Black Qi not expelled, she had no possibility of breaking through to the Golden Core.

Having stayed in the room for several months, naturally, she needed to come out for some fresh air. As a result, she saw a familiar figure approaching.

The array at the cave mansion could block external spying, but looking from inside out, there was no obstruction.

"Oh, isn’t that..."

Leng Ruyu still held a deep impression of Qin Yu. At that time, it seemed he was the little cultivator she hadn’t paid much attention to, the one who saved Su Xiyue.

How did he... appear at the Cyan Mountain Sect’s main peak?!
