I saw that demon cultivator again five days later.
Zheng Kaiyuan was searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the demon cultivators when he discovered a place where demonic energy suddenly increased.
Unless one is a demon cultivator of the fourth rank or above, it is impossible to have such a scale of demonic energy.
So Zheng Kaiyuan decided to go and see what was going on.
Upon entering the cave, he was overwhelmed by a strong, sweet fragrance that made him dizzy.
However, although the smell was strong, it was not very toxic and had no effect on cultivation, so Zheng Kaiyuan did not pay much attention to it.
The woman's moans came from inside the cave, making Zheng Kaiyuan more cautious.
This demonic cultivator probably still has hostages in his hands; we need to be careful.
It would be bad if innocent people were harmed.
The demon cultivator was nowhere to be seen deep inside the cave; only a woman lay on a couch.
She seemed to be controlled by something; her face was flushed, and she struggled and groaned in pain.
Upon seeing Zheng Kaiyuan, she rushed towards him as if he were her savior and hugged him tightly.
Zheng Kaiyuan froze, trying to push the woman away.
Who would have thought that the woman would actually...
Although he has lived to this age, he is completely ignorant about matters between men and women.
"Auntie, young lady, please have some self-respect..."
"What do you mean by self-respect? If you don't help me, I'm going to die!"
Perhaps it was because of the fog, but He Yuwei continued to seduce him, or perhaps it was because the cultivator's mind was momentarily disturbed.
In short, when it was all over, Zheng Kaiyuan was filled with regret.
Doing this is extremely reckless and goes against the principles of Tao.
He had never made such a mistake since he began his spiritual practice, and he couldn't accept it for a while.
When the demon cultivator returned to his cave, he found that his lair had been raided and the prey he had prepared in advance had been taken by someone else. He was furious.
"What a cultivator! He's really broadened my horizons. He puts on a righteous and virtuous facade, but he's actually cheating on his wife behind her back."
Zheng Kaiyuan was already annoyed, and the demon cultivator's provocation was like a spark hitting a fuse, causing it to explode.
In just three moves, the demon cultivator was beaten into submission, begging for mercy repeatedly: "Spare me! Spare me! This little demon will never dare to talk nonsense again, please, immortal, spare me!"
The demon cultivator was beaten so badly he could no longer maintain his human form, and Zheng Kaiyuan also regained his senses:
"Hand over the treasures you stole from the Immortal Venerable's Mansion, and swear by your demon soul that you will never do such things as bullying men and women again, and I will spare your life."
The demon cultivator nodded repeatedly, not daring to delay for a moment. He immediately handed over the treasure and swore on his demon soul that he would never do anything immoral again, and only then was the matter considered closed.
After doing all this, the demon cultivator curled up in the corner, sobbing and not daring to breathe loudly.
Zheng Kaiyuan asked, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
The demon cultivator asked, "Huh? Where to?"
Zheng Kaiyuan realized something was wrong as soon as he finished speaking. This was the cave of a demon cultivator, and if anyone should be leaving, it should be them.
Seeing the demon cultivator walking away tearfully and reluctantly, Zheng Kaiyuan called out to him, "Wait."
The demon cultivator was terrified, thinking Zheng Kaiyuan had changed his mind and was going to kill him; tears streamed down his face.
"Please, immortals, spare my life! Cultivation is not easy for this lowly demon. Apart from this one time when I harbored ill intentions, I have truly never done anything that is against heaven and reason. I only beg to be spared my life. In the future, I will definitely do good deeds every day and serve you like a slave to repay your kindness!"
Seeing that the demon cultivator had misunderstood, Zheng Kaiyuan sighed and said, "Don't cry, I'm not taking your life. This is your place, it's us who should leave."
After saying that, Zheng Kaiyuan picked up He Yuwei, who was still unconscious, and left the cave.
The demon cultivator watched Zheng Kaiyuan walk away, and sighed inwardly:
It turns out that there really are cultivators who are true to their word, and not all of them are hypocritical villains. Otherwise, he would be dead today.
Zheng Kaiyuan carried He Yuwei, unsure of where to go, and unable to find lodging at an inn.
Women value their reputation most.
If she, an unmarried woman, were seen staying at the same inn as a man, she would certainly be criticized.
Although they have already...
But ultimately, we have to consider her feelings.
Unbeknownst to him, Zheng Kaiyuan arrived at the place where he first met He Yuwei.
At that time, Zheng Kaiyuan would never have imagined that he would have such a bond with this free-spirited woman.
He was already a Golden Core stage immortal cultivator, and his lifespan was far beyond what ordinary people could achieve.
There is no future for him with a woman who has no spiritual roots.
But since they had already consummated their marriage, Zheng Kaiyuan would never do something like abandoning someone after starting a relationship.
Doing that would go against his principles.
Zheng Kaiyuan decided to marry He Yuwei.
Even if they only spend less than a hundred years together, even if she grows old and loses her youthful beauty, he will remain steadfast until He Yuwei's life ends.
Zheng Kaiyuan has been practicing cultivation since childhood and can be considered exceptionally gifted.
However, he has always been slow to understand matters of love and romance, and even considered never finding a partner for life.
Unexpectedly, fate brought him together with He Yuwei.
They had only met twice, and neither encounter was pleasant, but Zheng Kaiyuan had already placed her in his heart.
How strange! Is this what they call love? It comes out of nowhere and makes no sense at all.
Zheng Kaiyuan looked at the woman in his arms; she was quiet and beautiful, completely different from when she was awake.
The next day.
He Yuwei felt as if her whole body had been run over by rolling stones, and she couldn't touch any part of her body.
She remembered that she was clearly in the demon cultivator's cave, and with that person...
How did we end up here?
"You're awake. Is anything bothering you?"
Seeing that He Yuwei looked unwell and was about to get up, Zheng Kaiyuan quickly went over to help her.
He Yuwei stared at the man with the gentle tone, finding it unbelievable.
This person used to avoid her like the plague, and even last night, he initially seemed determined to die rather than submit. How come he changed his attitude today and is now so considerate towards her?
Zheng Kaiyuan went to the stream to fetch water before He Yuwei woke up and is now bringing it to her.
He Yuwei blinked, her eyes darting around, and deliberately didn't use her hands to catch the water bottle. Instead, she stretched her neck and drank the water directly from the bottle with her mouth.
She wanted to see how Zheng Kaiyuan would react, but Zheng Kaiyuan just looked at her gently and didn't say anything more.
Could it be that this person became stupid after sleeping?
"Hey, why are you looking at me like that? It's creepy."
"My name is Zheng Kaiyuan."
"I don't care if you're Zheng Kaiyuan or not, just speak properly. Where's that aloof attitude you had before? Show it now."
Zheng Kaiyuan found He Yuwei's unreasonable behavior somewhat endearing, and gently took her hand:
"We are already husband and wife, how could I possibly turn you away? Once I return the treasure to the Immortal Venerable, I will marry you."
He spoke sincerely, not as if he were faking it. If it weren't for his high level of cultivation, He Yuwei would have even suspected that this person was possessed by a demon cultivator.
She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then pushed Zheng Kaiyuan's hand away:
"Forget it, you are a cultivator, we are not destined to be together, let's part ways here."
He Yuwei left as soon as she finished speaking, leaving Zheng Kaiyuan stunned. He never expected things to turn out this way.
He reached out and blocked He Yuwei's path:
"Was what the girl said before, offering herself in return, also a lie?"
