Chapter 64 This made his chest ache with anger...

The thunder continued, but fortunately, when Si Yao returned to the Hehuan Sect's guest courtyard, the heavy rain had not yet begun.

She walked straight to her room, just as Yu Ke and Tang Che's voices came from the courtyard.

The master and his apprentice looked as if they had just returned from a banquet.

They stopped when they saw Si Yao.

Yu Ke looked her over. "Where have you been for so long?"

"You seem quite concerned about me lately," Si Yao said casually, arms crossed. "Why are you so curious about my whereabouts?"

Yu Ke had been drinking and was quite drunk, so she spoke without any restraint, "Even if you don't say it, I know you must have gone to meet the Qin Master of Luanqin Valley in secret."

"Oh," Si Yao replied casually, "Then you guessed right."

Yu Ke clapped her hands and said, "Sometimes I really admire you. You're not very good at cultivation, but you're really good at seducing men."

Si Yao walked over and looked at Yu Ke, who was staggering. "You can try to seduce her too, but you only have the desire but not the courage."

"You..." Yu Ke was furious and wanted to curse, but suddenly felt a churning in her stomach and immediately ran to a corner to vomit.

"Take good care of your master." Si Yao frowned, looking at Yu Ke in the distance with disdain, and instructed Tang Che.

She rubbed her forehead, preparing to go into her room, only to find Li Ye standing in front of her door.

A flash of lightning illuminated his cold, stern face.

Si Yao wondered, what was he doing standing at the door like that?

I wanted to speak, but I didn't know what to ask him.

Si Yao took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, pushed open the door, and went into the room.

"Boom!"

Thunder rumbled continuously, and this time, a torrential downpour finally began.

The lights were turned on in Si Yao's room, making it bright. She lay on the bed and opened the list of all the guests from Tianchen Island for this trip.

Every guest who sets foot on Tianchen Island will be given such a list.

Today, people from Luanqin Valley and Fengjian Sect arrived on the island. Together with the Seven Star Temple and Hehuan Sect from a few days ago, all the invited sects have now arrived.

However, the leaders of these sects will arrive the day before the inauguration ceremony of the new island master of Tianchen Island.

Si Yao wasn't sleepy, so she flipped through the roster to pass the time.

She lingered for a while after seeing the lists of Luanqin Valley and Fengjian Sect.

This time, each of the two factions sent ten people. Looking at the names on the Luanqin Valley roster, she didn't recognize any of them except for Ye Guyan.

And the Wind Sword Sect...

Her gaze inadvertently fell on the three characters "Jiang Cifeng".

The image of him that I had just met flashed through my mind.

That person is truly heartless.

What are you looking at?

Li Ye's voice came from the bed, and Si Yao, who was lying on the bed, was slightly taken aback. "When did you come in?"

He's becoming more and more fearless, able to freely enter and leave Si Yao's room.

Li Ye sat at the desk, leaning back, "While you were engrossed in looking at the roster."

"Is there something you need?" Si Yao's attitude towards him remained indifferent.

Li Ye's gaze followed, looking at the roster in Si Yao's hand, and he couldn't help but chuckle, "What? Interested in Jiang Cifeng?"

Si Yao turned around, lay on her side on the bed, rested her head on one hand, and looked at him with a quiet gaze. "I want to improve my cultivation, so I have to plan for the future, right? I think Jiang Cifeng is quite good in all aspects."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze.

Outside, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and torrential rain relentlessly washed over everything.

Li Ye paused for a moment, then sneered, "You want Jiang Cifeng to be your dual cultivation partner?"

Si Yao hadn't thought of it at first, but when she heard Li Ye ask this, she deliberately nodded and said, "He is the Heavenly Enlightenment Venerable of the Wind Sword Sect, a powerful figure. Who wouldn't want to cultivate with such a powerful figure? Not just me, but any other woman from the Joyful Union Sect would try to get her hands on him, right?"

"Stronger?" Li Ye's eyes flashed coldly, and his face darkened. "You really only like strong people."

Si Yao didn't understand what he meant by those sudden words.

She closed the guest list for Tianchen Island and slowly got up from the bed.

Li Ye, who was standing to the side, spoke up again, "I'm giving you some advice, but it might not be so easy for you to win over Jiang Cifeng. He has been obsessed with sword cultivation for thousands of years, seeking only the ruthless path of the Great Dao. He's not like Xia Chongyun or Ye Guyan, who are easily fooled by you."

Easily fooled...

Si Yao opened her eyes wide and involuntarily walked in front of Li Ye. "You're still thinking of me? But that's no trouble for the Demon Lord."

Ignoring Li Ye's furrowed brows, she continued, "I, Si Yao, love challenging people and things. You say Jiang Cifeng is difficult to deal with, but I'm determined to give it a try."

On the surface, Li Ye pretended to be calm, but inside he was churning with anger that seemed to have risen from nowhere, and he wanted nothing more than to burn the woman in front of him to ashes.

Why did she speak so bluntly?

Not willing to tell a single lie?

Even if she says she's not interested in Jiang Cifeng, that's fine.

At least, it won't make him so angry right now.

When I get angry, my chest hurts.

Finally, suppressing the torrent of emotions welling up inside him, he said, "Whatever, just hope you don't fall too hard."

Si Yao looked at him and noticed that his expression wasn't very good. She couldn't help but scoff, "When did you become so concerned about my affairs? Wait a minute, you seem a little unhappy."

Li Ye glanced at her, his eyes darting away, and then turned his head away.

Si Yao narrowed her eyes, "You don't want me to see Jiang Cifeng?"

"What a joke!" Li Ye sneered, his shoulders shaking with laughter. "What does it matter to me who you're looking for?"

Si Yao said "Oh" and nodded. "I definitely need to find a partner for dual cultivation. If I don't choose Jiang Cifeng, who else am I supposed to choose but you?"

Are you looking for me?

These words echoed softly in Li Ye's ears.

His heart stopped for a moment, then started beating wildly again.

He held his breath, slowly turned around, and looked at Si Yao with complicated emotions.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Si Yao was stunned and continued to scrutinize him. "Look at you, you don't need to look like that. I knew you were very resistant to this. Demon Lord, you can rest assured that even if Jiang Cifeng ignores me in the end, I will not force you to cultivate with me."

Li Ye's lips froze. So she really did have the idea of ​​cultivating with him again?

He was slightly moved, but Si Yao was already talking to herself: "Although you and my Jade Maiden Scripture are very compatible, you have always looked down on me. If it weren't for the fact that you were storing your primordial spirit back then, you wouldn't have chosen me so casually, right? According to your personality, if anyone had an affair with you, they would have died long ago. So, in order to save my life, I'd better not provoke you easily."

Li Ye's hands, hidden in his sleeves, clenched involuntarily.

"I wouldn't even deign to look at it?"

It wasn't as bad as Si Yao made it out to be.

He lowered his eyes, as if he had been struggling with something for a long time, before finally speaking slowly, "You haven't even properly provoked me, so how do you know if you can survive?"

Si Yao gasped, feeling that the other person was deliberately teasing her. "I wouldn't dare. If it's not worth it, I might lose my life."

"Hmm, you do know what's important."

He didn't know what to say next, but the other person's answer filled him with a strong sense of disappointment.

He couldn't stay in front of her any longer, or she might say something to upset him next.

A few breaths later, Si Yao wanted to say something, but Li Ye flashed away and disappeared back into his room.

A few gusts of breeze lingered, causing Si Yao's door to creak.

Si Yao unconsciously clenched the guest list of Tianchen Island in her hand, feeling a tightness in her chest, as if she had not vented all her resentment towards Li Ye.

She snorted softly, stormed back to the bed, covered her face with the pillow, and tried to fall asleep.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and outside the balcony, the waves were crashing against the beach one after another.

This night seemed very long.

Li Ye returned to the room without turning on the lights. He leaned weakly against the wall, then felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.

In the dim light, he slowly raised his head, his eyes already red.

"hateful……"

He cursed inwardly, wondering why the aftereffects of this body had to appear at this particular time.

It had been less than ten days since the last symptom flared up.

He felt intense pain coursing through his body; his demonic bones felt as if they were being torn apart, making it difficult for him to continue.

In the dark room, only a few flashes of lightning illuminated Li Ye's sinister face.

He staggered to the bed, sat cross-legged, and tried to regulate the chaotic demonic energy within his body.

Unexpectedly, he felt a tightness in his chest again and vomited blood again. He then collapsed onto the bed.

This attack was even more severe than the last one in the "River God's" cave.

At that time, Si Yao was by his side.

The thought of this woman inexplicably made Li Ye angry.

The words Si Yao had just spoken still seemed to echo in his ears.

She said she wanted to find Jiang Cifeng of the Wind Sword Sect and make him her partner for cultivation.

Thinking of this, Li Ye scoffed, feeling that this woman was too promiscuous. She already had Xia Chongyun and Ye Guyan, and now she wanted Jiang Cifeng?

Demons have always believed in loving only one person for life, but what about Si Yao? She's opportunistic, fickle, and always looking for more than she has!

hateful!

Li Ye lay down on the bed and gave a few bitter laughs.

Several years ago, in order to test whether poisoning Si Yao would affect Li Ye, Yan Ao gave Si Yao a bewitching powder.

Si Yao, under the influence of the Bewitching Powder, was trapped in a hallucination, looking at Li Ye, who was still "Little Yezi" at that time, and calling out his real name.

That night, Si Yao declared righteously that she had been cultivating the Jade Maiden Scripture of the Hehuan Sect since childhood, but had never practiced dual cultivation with other men to improve her cultivation.

She called out his name and said: Li Ye, you are my first man.

Recalling these scenes, Li Ye's heart was finally stirred.

He knew that he might really be her first man, but that didn't mean he would be her last.

Because nowadays, she has countless suitors. First there was Xia Chongyun, now there's Ye Guyan, and who knows, in the near future, there might even be Jiang Cifeng...

There are so many men surrounding her...

Li Ye felt a mix of emotions, and he clenched his fists.

How hateful! That wicked woman!

He was already suffering from the aftereffects of the fusion of his primary and secondary souls, and now, thinking about Si Yao, his heart was already filled with rage, which was undoubtedly adding insult to injury for this body.

"Boom!"

Several deafening claps of thunder exploded in the air, but Si Yao on the other side couldn't sleep at all.

She tossed and turned in bed, when she heard the sound of a cup breaking next door.

Si Yao squinted and muttered to the person next door: What's Li Ye getting angry about now?

Looking back, I don't think what I said was too harsh.

"Bang--"

There was another noise from next door, like something falling to the ground.

Si Yao looked at her suspiciously and called out to the next room, "Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night?"

Her questioning went unanswered, like throwing a stone into the sea.

What's wrong with this person?

Si Yao hesitated for a moment, but finally got up and walked towards Li Ye's room.

As he pushed open the door, a bolt of lightning flashed, instantly illuminating Li Ye's pale face on the floor.

"you……"

Si Yao's gaze froze, utterly surprised. She strode forward, crouched down, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wasn't he perfectly fine when he left her room?

A flash of lightning streaked across the room, plunging it into darkness. With a single wave of her hand, Si Yao instantly illuminated all the lamps in the room.

Now she could see clearly that Li Ye, who was lying on the ground, was curled up in a ball and trembling uncontrollably.

She had witnessed this scene before when he was in the "River God's" cave.

"Li Ye?" Si Yao couldn't help but reach out and touch his body.

The intense heat made Si Yao pull her hand back slightly.

She was taken aback. Why was Li Ye's body so hot?

She didn't care about anything else and tried to help him up with both hands, but at that moment, Li Ye subconsciously became wary and tried to push him away.

Si Yao quickly spoke up, "I am Si Yao!"

Upon hearing the name, he lowered his raised hand again.

What are you doing here?
