"Ah? This... it's because of the Kunlun Cauldron. The Kunlun Cauldron recognized its master and merged with you, so your cultivation level has greatly increased," Tantai Jingxin said quickly.
"I see. The Kunlun Cauldron is a treasure of your Kunlun Palace. Is that appropriate?"
Ye Qiu felt a little embarrassed.
“That’s fine. You’re my man. Everything in Kunlun Palace is yours. Take whatever you want.”
Tantai Jingxin smiled brightly.
"Can those pretty female disciples also be included?"
Ye Qiu asked.
"Do you want to die?"
Tantai Jingxin's smile vanished instantly.
"Get up. I think I should conceal my appearance a little. I want to see just how powerful those ancient families are."
Ye Qiu smiled.
"Alright, then you pack your things properly. I'll go out and keep an eye on things for a bit. I need to tell the disciples a few things."
Tantai Jingxin was the first to get up. After quickly tidying herself up, she went out to gather all the disciples and solemnly warned them that they must not reveal a single detail about Ye Qiu's transformation into a demon last night, or they would be killed.
After doing all this, Tantai Jingxin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She feared that if Ye Qiu knew the truth, his resolve would waver and he would turn into a demon again.
"Your Highness, there is something I don't understand. Why did you invite those ancient families from outside to hold this Great Xia Ranking here? It's completely unnecessary."
The young Taoist priest stood beside Tantai Jingxin and asked cautiously.
“What do you know?” Tantai Jingxin said, “The Great Xia Ranking is just an excuse. None of those ancient families are simple forces. My real purpose is to know one thing.”
"What is it?"
The young Taoist asked curiously.
"You want to know and I'll tell you? You're not Ye Qiu." Tantai Jingxin glanced at the young Taoist boy with disdain.
The young Taoist chuckled dryly, then whispered, "Then I'll go ask Ye Qiu?"
"He doesn't know either. I didn't tell him. If you want to know, it's simple. I'll teach Ye Qiu to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Longevity Technique later," Tantai Jingxin said with a smile.
"Palace Master, are you insane?" The young Taoist disciple nearly jumped up in shock. "I know what you're trying to do. Are you afraid Ye Qiu will turn into a demon, so you want him to start over and cultivate the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Longevity Technique? But he's worked so hard to reach his current Martial Saint realm. If you use any scheme to cripple him, then you can forget about ever having anything to do with him again..."
"You old geezer, shut up!" Tantai Jingxin said coldly, somewhat annoyed. "I didn't say that."
The young Taoist priest gave a bitter smile and said, "He is still young, and starting over is not impossible, but I'm afraid it won't be of any use."
"By finding a way to cripple his cultivation, purify his demonic heart, and start over, we can surely prevent him from falling into demonic possession again."
Furthermore, even if his cultivation is destroyed, the Kunlun Cauldron will merge with him, so he won't be unable to rise again. He will have one cultivation experience and can quickly return to his peak. This is the best way for him.
Otherwise, if he loses control and becomes possessed by a demon, indiscriminately killing innocent people, the consequences would be extremely terrible. I don't want him to become a monster that everyone in the world wants to kill.
Tantai Jingxin said in a deep voice.
"Alright, Palace Master, I support your decision and I will help you."
The young Taoist priest said in a deep voice.
"Remember to keep it a secret. That's why I opened the palace gates this time and invited these powerful figures from the ancient families to participate in the Wind and Cloud Ranking. I wanted to use them to cripple Ye Qiu's cultivation. I couldn't do it myself," Tantai Jingxin said in a deep voice.
"Alas, I never imagined your schemes were so profound and well-hidden. It's truly frightening."
The young Taoist priest sighed and subconsciously took a few steps away from Tantai Jingxin.
Tantai Jingxin glanced at the young Taoist boy, her eyes filled with hostility: "What do you mean?"
"Palace Master, I don't mean anything by it. You're just doing this out of kindness, there's nothing wrong with that. I'm just worried that even if all those useless people from the ancient families gang up on you, they might not be able to defeat Ye Qiu. What do you think?"
The young Taoist asked.
"When the time comes, go and get the Soul-Locking Poison Pill and put it in the tea. I'll find an opportunity to give it to Ye Qiu." Tantai Jingxin bit her lip as she said this, feeling extremely distressed and under unimaginable pressure.
But she had to do it!
The young Taoist boy fell silent, his expression becoming somewhat solemn.
Just as the atmosphere became extremely serious, Ye Qiu's voice came: "Wife, what are you talking about?"
When Tantai Jingxin turned around, she almost burst out laughing.
Because at this moment, Ye Qiu had put on a mustache, making him look more than ten years older. He had also changed into a long robe, which was quite different from his previous appearance, but he was still handsome and extraordinary.
"Oh my, you have quite a mature air about you. I'm starting to feel tempted. Shall we go back to our room?"
Tantai Jingxin blinked her bright, watery eyes, giving a frantic hint.
"No, I'm not interested in you."
Ye Qiu smiled.
"What did you say?" Tantai Jingxin's pretty face turned cold: "Are you looking for a beating?"
"Ahem, just kidding, my wife. We should wait patiently for our guests to arrive. Business is more important. We can postpone having a baby until nightfall. What do you think, my wife?"
Ye Qiu smiled.
"Hmph, that's more like it."
Tantai Jingxin hummed softly.
"This is so cheesy, I can't stand it..."
The young Taoist priest shivered.
Below, many female disciples blushed deeply.
After glancing at it, Tantai Jingxin felt a belated embarrassment.
To ease the awkward atmosphere, Tantai Jingxin said loudly, "Ye Qiu is short of a maid to serve him tea and water. Are there any of you willing to serve him?"
"I do."
"I'm willing too."
"Palace Master, I'll go."
The scene instantly erupted in excitement, with almost all the female disciples vying to serve Ye Qiu.
Originally, it was just to ease the awkward atmosphere and create some excitement, but Tantai Jingxin did not expect it to become this lively.
"You're in trouble now."
Ye Qiu shrugged, crossed his arms, and stared at Tantai Jingxin, wanting to see how she would handle the situation.
Tantai Jingxin coughed lightly, then said, "This person's cultivation level must not be lower than the Martial God Realm."
The room fell silent upon hearing this.
Martial God Realm—besides the elders, who else has reached this level? None of these young female disciples have any hope.
"It seems there isn't one. Oh well, let's leave it at that and talk about it later."
Tantai Jingxin smiled.
“Palace Master, I think I might be able to give it a try.”
Just then, a soft voice suddenly rang out.
