A sound of pleasure

"But I'm not willing to let just any man cheat on me."

"It's not a question of whether you're willing or not. The problem is that you simply can't tell if someone is lying to you or fooling you. Could it be that when someone is trying to deceive you, they'll give you a heads-up and ask if you're willing to be deceived? Don't be silly. Spending a lot of money on a man, or sacrificing your whole life for a man with no future, is the most unworthy thing to do. Aside from your parents, no one is worth mistreating yourself to. Remember what I say."

"I know, but you're not another man."

Heqi stopped and turned around. He raised his hand because of the preaching, raised it and lowered it again. He wanted to say something several times but stopped himself. Finally, he sighed and shut up.

"What's wrong? Just tell me what you have to say. I'm happy to listen to your ideas."

"You... forget it. You won't listen even if I tell you. Have you never been out of Yuemang Mountain?"

"I've been trapped here since I was born."

He Qi was completely speechless. He couldn't imagine what it would be like to be trapped in this small space like a frog in a well. He couldn't easily criticize her ideas and principles with his long-standing outsider mindset. It wasn't that she didn't want to understand, it was that she simply didn't have the chance. It wasn't her fault.

"I will take you out, show you the outside world, and adapt to the laws of the Six Realms. In the future, you won't be easily deceived or tricked, and you will be able to create your own world. At that time, you will know that there are many better men than me in the Six Realms."

"What do the other good men in the Six Realms have to do with me? Can't you give me a fair chance? Let me try, maybe you will like me too. I won't force you to do anything you don't like. It's just a little quarrel, but I don't quarrel most of the time. You are so poor and a servant, you don't have to worry about me plotting against you. Although, when I first saw you, I was attracted by your appearance. But this is indeed your advantage. You can't always hide your face. There are still some good things about me. You should get to know me better. Although I am not beautiful, I am not ugly either. I can wash, mend, clean and cook. You can go out and do your work, and I can stay at home to take care of your parents..."

Si Xi followed He Qi in this way, muttering to herself, listing her benefits and functions. He Qi did not interrupt her, so she kept talking.

Heqi didn't stop until he reached a dead end on the cliff.

"There's no way out. Have you noticed any demonic energy?"

"No, I guess there really isn't any evil spirit living at the bottom of this cliff. Let's go up. There are cages piled up everywhere, and there are bones inside. It's no different from being among a pile of corpses. Let's go."

He Qi approached a cage at random and easily reached his hand through the gap between the cage bars. The cages themselves were the most common iron cages made by mortals, of varying sizes and nothing special.

"Did your father cast some kind of spell on the cage?"

"Yes, my father wouldn't let me touch the cage after the spell was cast. He said there were restrictions on the cage that would burn me."

"Will you impose a ban?"

"No. Father said he could teach me other spells except the restrictions on the Demon Cage. He wouldn't even let me look at it. But I know that this restriction was taught to him by that weirdo. Yue Niang also knows it."

Heqi randomly picked a cage on the top of the pile, reached in, and picked up a leg bone. He sniffed it, and then checked the bone to see if there was any evil spirit or resentment.

"Logically speaking, for someone who has just died, even if their soul is completely consumed, some resentment and grudge will still remain. But when you investigated this one, there's none. The resentment of the newly deceased has dissipated so much, let alone the others. Didn't Yue Niang say that this one's resentment was too deep and left behind? Now it's confirmed that Yue Niang was lying."

Si Xi took the leg bone from his hand and examined it as well, and found that there was indeed no resentment or resentment.

"I've long observed the demons chosen by Yue Niang and my father. Before being thrown off this cliff to be executed, they hadn't committed any serious crimes, at most just provoking trouble. And most of them were from the mountainside. People like them, easily deprived of the chance to survive they fought so hard for, should have a lot of resentment, but there's none here. Is it possible that the resentment has been absorbed by something, just like how the miasma on the mountain dissipates a little every time that strange person comes."

"It's possible. Xie Yuan grew stronger by absorbing resentful energy and miasma. He was the only one who succeeded with this sinister method. After Xie Yuan was suppressed, some of those who imitated him without clear minds almost all died from the explosion."

"So, his confidants want to collect resentful energy and miasma to supply Xie Yuan, making him stronger and potentially freeing him from suppression?"

He Qi shook his head and said, "The formation that suppresses the Evil Abyss is no ordinary formation. Even the Demon Lord was defeated by it. Evil things like miasma and resentment will begin to disappear the moment they get close. They can't reach the suppressed Evil Abyss at all. They will even cause abnormalities, forcing the Heaven Realm to come and reinforce the seal."

"What if, I mean what if, what if it's for Xie Yuan to use after he escapes? Nothing is absolute. The Demon Lord has been killed, but Xie Yuan is still suppressing him and not completely dead. So there is a possibility that he can escape. If it wasn't possible, you wouldn't say that the Heaven Realm would strengthen the seal."

Si Xi’s words were like an eye-opener to me.

Then, she continued, "Also, based on my woman's sixth sense, how can Youyou not be Xie Yuan? He is very likely Xie Yuan. Listen to my analysis and see if what I say makes sense."

"Um."

"Xie Yuan relied on miasma and resentful energy to enhance his cultivation and mana. Where did the miasma first originate and become the most concentrated? Yuemang Mountain! Qinghui, as a celestial immortal, discovered the miasma and was unable to eradicate it and save the mountain spirit. Shouldn't he have reported it? However, he was too attached to his relationship with Qinghui to let her go. No one wants to lose their lover's admiration so quickly, so I guess he deliberately let the miasma dissipate bit by bit. Eventually, things must have developed beyond his control, and from that point on, he began to conceal the situation at Yuemang Mountain."

"Then what?"

"Now that Xingyi is dead, Youyou has completely given up on his father and hates him! He's very cruel to him! Otherwise, he wouldn't have burned down the house. Xingyi told him not to become a stain on his father, so what's his best chance to get revenge? Become a stain on his father! If it were me, I would also use the sinister method of cultivating with miasma to increase my cultivation quickly, and also become a stain that he dare not admit. In order to keep his original secret and to preserve the existence of Xingyi and Youyou, he will definitely continue to conceal Yuemang Mountain. This also explains why no one has come to take care of Yuemang Mountain for so many years. In this way, Youyou can use the miasma of Yuemang Mountain unscrupulously. As long as he exists, Qinghui will do everything he can to prevent people from the heaven from coming to Yuemang Mountain."

"If that's true, does Qing Hui of the Heavenly Realm know that You You is Xie Yuan? Yes, he definitely knows."

Thinking of this possibility, Heqi was extremely angry and vowed in his heart that he would find out who Qinghui was. It was the fault of the people in heaven, but he wanted to make up for it by stealing his sister's life. Damn it.

Si Xi was a little surprised to see that He Qi's eyes were so fierce that they looked like he wanted to eat someone.

Suddenly, the cage on the other side collapsed and slid down a part of the way, making a loud noise. Heqi and the other man were on high alert.

After exchanging glances, he leaped into the air and slowly approached the collapsed cage, carefully searching for anything unusual. However, after getting closer, he found nothing.

However, Si Xi suddenly patted He Qi's shoulder and made a face to him, trying to get him to look down. He Qi followed her line of sight and saw countless densely packed pure black spiders swarming in from all directions, making his scalp tingle.

He Qi grabbed her collar without hesitation and flew towards the cliff. Halfway through the flight, they ran into a dense spider web head-on, covering their faces.

The two of them raised their hands and touched their cheeks at the same time. In the moment when they were distracted, a huge spider leg appeared above their heads and knocked them down.

"Damn it! When did such a huge spider demon appear on Yuemang Mountain? It didn't even transform, and it came without making any sound. It scared me to death!"

Si Xi covered his injured buttocks with one hand, and frantically cleaned the spider webs on his face with the other hand. He could not pull off any spider silk, but it seemed as if there were still a lot of spider silk attached to his face, which made him feel itchy and disgusting, and made him feel irritated.

He Qi simply cleaned up the mess and began to fight off the swarms of small black spiders that were coming towards him. However, there were too many of them, and He Qi's speed in fighting them off was beginning to slow, so he resorted to burning them.

For a moment, in addition to the smell of burnt meat, there was also a strange stench.

Si Xi pinched his own nose with one hand and pinched He Qi's nose with the other. Holding back the stench and breathing with difficulty, Si Xi howled angrily, "Oh my god! It stinks! Are these spiders fed on shit? It's like burning shit!"

"No swearing."

Compared to Heqi's calmness, Sixi seemed even more irritable. She looked up at the giant spider-butt above her head and shouted, "Hey! Are you new here? Do you know the rules? You even dare to hit me!"

The big spider didn't answer, but jumped up without hesitation and fell towards the direction where Si Xi and He Qi were standing, as if it wanted to kill them with its own weight.

Heqi was quick-witted and quick-handed. He immediately hugged Sixi and quickly pressed against the cliff wall, just brushing past the falling giant spider.

The giant spider fell hard, and several of the iron cages beneath it were deformed by it. The cages piled up haphazardly below collapsed under the heavy impact, and the rumbling sound echoed at the bottom of the cliff.

However, it seemed to be unharmed and immediately climbed up, spitting out spider silk towards them accurately, sticking the two of them tightly to the cliff wall. The spiders at the bottom of the cliff also began to crawl towards them.
