Chapter 2303 - 1993: How Could I Possibly Have Feelings for a Human?

Zhou Xiaoxiao knew her sister too well; every time she felt guilty or was lying, her eyes would dodge, unable to meet hers directly.

Upon hearing Zhou Xiaoxiao’s question, Zhou Youyou still didn’t dare to answer directly.

If she were to say now that dual cultivation with Lu Chen could elevate their realms, her sister would certainly think she’d betrayed the Heavenly Fate Sect. So, the best way was to let Zhou Xiaoxiao experience it herself.

Thinking of this, Zhou Youyou cautiously said, "Sister, I’ve found someone in the Zhen Nan Prince Manor with an extraordinarily vigorous vitality. After I siphon his vitality, it quickly restores and doesn’t affect his lifespan at all."

Zhou Xiaoxiao was once again startled when she heard this.

No matter how vigorous a person’s vitality is, once siphoned, their lifespan will invariably be affected.

Although Spirit Martial Artists, when absorbing spiritual evil, quickly recover their lost vitality, the amount of vitality lost during cultivation is quite minimal, not damaging the body’s foundation or the essence of life.

But when the mysterious devour blood, they often harm a person’s life essence, so those whose vitality has been siphoned by the mysterious find it difficult to recover.

Yet Zhou Youyou claimed that someone in the Zhen Nan Prince Manor could recover their vitality after she siphoned it?

If what Zhou Youyou said was true, it would indicate that this person was invaluable to the mysterious.

After coming back to her senses, Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at Zhou Youyou suspiciously and said, "Sister, are you trying to deceive me?"

Zhou Youyou quickly said, "Sister, everything I said is true. Otherwise, how could my realm have advanced to the mid-stage Xuan Realm after just staying at the Zhen Nan Prince Manor for a few months?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao fell into thought.

Her sister didn’t seem to be lying; if no person with the ability to incessantly restore vitality existed, how did Zhou Youyou advance her realm at the Zhen Nan Prince Manor? Could it be by devouring blood?

But how could the Zhen Nan Prince Manor have blood for Zhou Youyou to devour? If she were killing indiscriminately there, she would have been exposed quickly.

Zhou Xiaoxiao stared intently into Zhou Youyou’s eyes as if trying to see through her.

Being stared at by her sister like that, Zhou Youyou felt guilty again.

Indeed, Lu Chen’s vitality could restore quickly, but she hadn’t explained how she siphoned it.

Zhou Xiaoxiao wasn’t a fool. Seeing Zhou Youyou so nervous, she realized something was amiss.

She then asked, "Sister, to siphon that person’s vitality, you must have to do something special, right?"

If there was nothing needed to siphon that person’s vitality, Zhou Youyou wouldn’t need to be so nervous when telling her.

Realizing her sister had found her secret, Zhou Youyou became even more anxious.

After hesitating for a moment, she stammered, "Yes... yes, to siphon his vitality, I need to dual cultivate with him."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at Zhou Youyou in disbelief.

Since Zhou Youyou admitted that dual cultivation was necessary, it implied she had already engaged in it with the human.

Though Zhou Xiaoxiao was mysterious, she understood what dual cultivation entailed—nothing more than the relationship between a man and a woman.

The idea of Zhou Youyou, a mysterious being, having slept with a human was utterly shocking to Zhou Xiaoxiao.

In the eyes of the mysterious, humans were merely blood food, just as pigs, cows, and sheep are food in the eyes of humans.

And now Zhou Youyou had slept with ’food’; the atmosphere in the room turned oppressive.

It took some time before Zhou Xiaoxiao regained her composure and tentatively asked, "Youyou, you’re not joking with your sister, are you?"

The mysterious had no concept of chastity, but humans were still humans, and it was unimaginable for the mysterious to engage with them that way.

Zhou Youyou hung her head, unable to meet Zhou Xiaoxiao’s gaze and remained silent.

Seeing Zhou Youyou like this, Zhou Xiaoxiao understood that her sister had indeed done such a thing with that human.

After a long silence, Zhou Xiaoxiao sighed deeply and said, "Youyou, do you realize what you’ve done? That’s a human, and you actually..."

She stopped, unsure of what to say next.

Doing something like that with a human was a disgrace.

Moreover, Zhou Youyou wasn’t just any mysterious being; she was the Left Protector of the Heavenly Fate Sect.

As the Left Protector, having a relationship with a human could lead to severe repercussions if the Sect Hierarch discovered it.

Zhou Xiaoxiao continued, "Youyou, this is a stain on you. You must find a way to eliminate this man personally. No one else can know about this stain, except me."

Although Zhou Xiaoxiao viewed it as disgraceful, Zhou Youyou was her sister, and she couldn’t report this to the Sect Hierarch.

She only wanted to erase the man involved, to prevent more of the mysterious from knowing of Zhou Youyou’s disgrace.

Feeling the killing intent from Zhou Xiaoxiao, Zhou Youyou quickly said, "Sister, you mustn’t. That man has limitless vitality. Wouldn’t it be a waste to just kill him?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, "Youyou, humans are humans, and the mysterious are the mysterious."

"Moreover, we don’t need such relations to siphon vitality. Are you fond of that human?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao had never heard of needing a relationship to siphon vitality.

In her eyes, Zhou Youyou’s claim was due to her affections for the human.

It’s absolutely forbidden—humans and the mysterious are on diverging paths. If Zhou Youyou truly developed feelings, she might one day betray the Heavenly Fate Sect.

As Zhou Youyou’s elder sister, Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn’t stand by and watch her fall astray.

Under Zhou Xiaoxiao’s probing, Zhou Youyou felt overwhelmed with panic.

Feigning calm, she said, "Sister, what are you saying? How could I have feelings for a human? It’s just that the human’s physique is unique, requiring dual cultivation to siphon his vitality."

Zhou Xiaoxiao replied, "Youyou, I know you too well. You can’t lie to me."

In Zhou Xiaoxiao’s mind, Zhou Youyou confessed to protect the human, pretending he had unique attributes, brimming with vitality, out of affection.

In other words, she already harbored feelings for him, meaning Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn’t let the human live, not wishing her sister to be ruined by him!

Zhou Youyou knew her sister wouldn’t believe her, so she said, "Sister, why don’t I bring the human to you? Dual cultivate once yourself, and you’ll see if I’m lying."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao was momentarily dumbfounded.

To dual cultivate with a human herself? What a joke!

How could she engage in relations with a lowly human?
