Chapter 13: Thank You, My Dear Sister!
The All Pleasure Sect practices the Yin-Yang Dao, seeking to unravel its mysteries. Anything related to the Yin-Yang Dao is a coveted treasure for the sect, particularly the Innate Yin-Yang Qi, the most desired of all.
Itâs the perfect heavenly material for the sectâs methods, especially since only with Innate Yin-Yang Qi can the sectâs most powerful technique be fully mastered.
However, this qi is exceedingly rare, and few disciples can perfectly control the Supreme Yin-Yang Scripture due to its scarcity. Even after thousands of years, no disciple has achieved this.
âMy dear sister, this item isnât suitable for you. Let me, your little sister, have it!â Yan Ruyu said with a gentle and alluring voice that captivated both men and women.
Feeling Yan Ruyuâs enchantment, Ye Qingcheng suppressed her emotions and coldly said, âDream on! How could I give up the Innate Yin-Yang Qi? According to Jiang Chen, itâs vital for my rise. If I give it up, wouldnât I be cutting off my own path to greatness? I canât agree to this, no matter what.â
âIf you really want it, sister, I can let you have it,â Yan Ruyu surprisingly offered generously, leaving Ye Qingcheng puzzled. âBut sister, think carefully. To refine the Innate Yin-Yang Qi, male and female qi combination is a must. It wonât work with one less or one more.â
âOnly through cultivation between opposite sexes can it be refined. If you want it, I donât mind giving it to you, but Iâll just grab some male cultivator from outside. By then, youâll lose your purity. What do you think Holy Son would think if he founds out about this?â
Yan Ruyu said this with a laugh. She knew Ye Qingcheng, the ice-cold snow lotus, prided herself on her purity.
The idea of giving herself to any male cultivator would be more unbearable than death. And she was sure Ye Qingcheng lacked the ability to claim the Innate Yin-Yang Qi for herself, requiring special methods known to few, the All Pleasure Sect being the most proficient.
Yan Ruyuâs words indeed scared Ye Qingcheng, who stepped back at the thought of the consequences and how Jiang Chen might react. She didnât want to become such a person. Seizing the moment, Yan Ruyu quickly took out a black jade bottle and tapped it.
A divine light flew out, capturing the Innate Yin-Yang Qi. âSince youâre unwilling, sister, I wonât trouble you further. The Innate Yin-Yang Qi is mine now!â Yan Ruyu laughed like bells and swiftly retreated. Her words had been mere threats.
âThis treasure is vital for me, for forging my Dao foundation and raising my limits,â she stated.
âYou!â Ye Qingcheng was furious, ready to explode, but Yan Ruyu had already disappeared. âI wasnât decisive enough,â Ye Qingcheng sighed internally. She wasnât sure if her methods could secure the Innate Yin-Yang Qi. Her hesitation, fueled by Yan Ruyuâs words, let Yan Ruyu act quickly and succeed.
âItâs a pity the Innate Yin-Yang Qi is gone, one of Heaven-Piercing Sectâs most precious treasures,â Ye Qingcheng lamented. According to Jiang Chen, it was the foundation of her rise, a chance to stand alongside the young supremes. Now, that chance was gone.
âWhat Jiang Chen said was true. The Innate Yin-Yang Qi, the Heaven-Piercing Palm, it was all here. Does that mean the voice I heard in the past was real, and I misunderstood him?â she thought, filled with regret and irony for mistaking her benefactor for an enemy.
âI wronged him,â she acknowledged solemnly. She resolved to change, to support Jiang Chen in this life, aware it was somewhat late but still hopeful. âBut first, I must find out who Du Goyunâs father is!â Ye Qingchengâs eyes flashed with resolve.
âDamn those Wang brothers, Iâll make them pay!â Du Goyun grumbled and cursed the Wang brothers as he finally made it inside. The four brothers had brought him great humiliation and loss of face. He vowed that if he ever achieved anything significant, he would first seek revenge on the Wang brothers.
âIsnât this trouble of your own making?â Cang Lao internally criticized Du Goyun. If only Du Goyun had been more mature and steady, and not sought trouble, would he have faced such embarrassment? Of course, Cang Lao couldnât say this outright.
With all the misfortunes that had befallen Du Goyun recently, saying more might just explode his temperament, possibly even leading to resentment towards Cang Lao. For his own goal of reconstructing his body, Cang Lao chose to remain silent.
Yet, Du Goyunâs misfortunes were far from over. Soon, Ye Qingcheng approached him.
âYe Sister!â Du Goyun exclaimed with joy upon seeing her. His previous discontent and anger vanished, replaced by a broad smile as if he were a fawning dog looking at Ye Qingcheng.
âSurely Ye Sister still adores me. Her coldness outside must have been just to protect me,â Du Goyun happily thought to himself.
âI doubt thatâs the case,â Cang Lao thought, looking solemnly at the approaching Ye Qingcheng. She appeared as if she was intent on harming Du Goyun.
