Chapter 473: Succubus (44)
Gu Yuan quickly reinforced the loosened seal on Li Sha. Gu Yuan's new seal was unbreakable by anyone whose strength was below Gu Yuan's, as long as Gu Yuan was safe. It was clearly a perfect solution. Afterwards, Wen Wan and Li Sha left with Gu Yuan. Wen Wan also changed her name and became Gu Yuan's new disciple, Chu Qi.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Wen Wan could no longer use her previous spells and began to practice swordsmanship.
Moreover, to prevent her from being exposed, Wen Wan's arrays were all removed, including the Yin-Yang Separation and Union Array, and replaced with a completely new array.
Although Wen Wan felt it was a bit of a pity, it was nothing compared to her own life.
This is pretty good; no need to refine pills or practice formations anymore.
He no longer needs to be constantly supervised in his cultivation by his two masters.
Lisa had no objections. Although she was extremely shocked when she learned that she actually had succubus blood, she quickly accepted it.
Wen Wan asked, "Don't you want to know who your father is? Maybe he's still alive, and maybe he's even in the Blissful Sect."
Lisa shook her head. "I don't want to know. He abandoned my mother and me back then, so I have nothing to do with him anymore. Besides, I don't like this filthy bloodline."
She was bullied and looked down upon from childhood, and she always felt that it was because of her bad luck. Now she knows that it was indeed her bad luck.
"Ah Yuan, will you dislike me?"
Wen Wan smiled and patted Li Sha's head. "Then will you despise me? You only have half of the Meizu bloodline, while I am a pure Meizu. If I were to despise me, wouldn't I have to despise myself to death first?"
Li Sha smiled, a very happy smile. Seeing that she didn't seem gloomy at all, Wen Wan was genuinely happy for her.
"What's so great about being a father?" "From now on, I'll not only be your friend, but also your family. If you want to feel fatherly love, I'll try my best."
"Ah Yuan, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"All you need to know is that I will never give up on you, I will always stand by your side, and I will always protect you, unless I die."
"Ah Yuan, don't talk nonsense. You'll be fine. I'll protect you too. I'll work hard to become stronger."
...
After that, he returned to Mingyuan Sect.
News of Wen Wan's death also reached Mingyuan Sect. Wen Wan dared not look at her masters or her senior brothers and sisters.
He stayed in the Gan Dian every day.
After Immortal Venerable Gu Yuan went to the Blissful Sect to rescue Xiaoyao Li, news spread that he had gained a little disciple on his way back.
Wen Wan was forced to meet the acting sect leader and several elders, and then became Gu Yuan's second personal disciple.
No one expected that Immortal Venerable Gu Yuan would take in two disciples in such a short period of time.
Moreover, the first exceptionally talented disciple is gone.
Sigh.
This is such a pity.
Countless people felt sorry for Wen Wan, while many others had high hopes. Had Immortal Venerable Gu Yuan started to enjoy taking on disciples? After taking on two in a row, the acting sect leader visited Gu Yuan countless times to inquire whether he had any more ideas about taking on disciples.
Then it was time to recruit new disciples.
The acting sect leader came to say that Immortal Venerable Gu Yuan would go first to take a look, and if he found a disciple he liked, he could take him away; if not, the other elders would then choose a disciple.
Gu Yuan rejected him outright.
"I will only have two disciples in my life, and I will not recruit any more," Gu Yuan said, instructing the acting sect leader to continue as usual.
The acting sect leader was somewhat disappointed, but there was nothing he could do to force the issue.
After Wen Wan, using the alias Chu Qi, entered Gu Yuan's sect, countless disciples were curious about her, the Immortal Venerable's last disciple. However, this last disciple was a homebody and almost never left the Qian Palace.
And he only has one close friend, Lisa.
Some people tried to subtly probe Li Sha, but she remained silent. Gradually, the Immortal Venerable's closed-door disciple became increasingly mysterious, leading to countless speculations.
Wen Wan's life returned to normal.
Every day, Wen Wan had to grind ink for Gu Yuan, serve him tea and water, be punished by copying books at any time, and occasionally have her cultivation progress checked and changed to sword practice. Only then did she realize how difficult it was to be a sword cultivator.
Wen Wan is almost driven crazy.
"Master, can't I continue practicing formations and alchemy?"
According to Gu Yuan, some habits cannot be changed. In order not to arouse suspicion, she must change all her habits and become Chu Qi instead of the former Wen Wan.
Wen Wan could only practice quietly.
Then she goes to soak in the Pool of Good and Evil every day, and this time it's not just her; occasionally, Lisa also has to soak there.
However, she doesn't soak every day. After all, Li Sha can't do what Wen Wan does, where soaking is beneficial for cultivation and she doesn't experience any discomfort. She will feel pain. So, it's normal to come once a week or once every two weeks.
Chu Hongyan did not look for him either.
They might have known that she was dead, but whether they believed it or not, nobody knew. In any case, they didn't come looking for Wen Wan, as if she didn't exist.
From then on, there was only the seventh day of the lunar month, and no one named Wen Wan.
...
Day after day, year after year.
Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Wen Wan's strength is still... not improved. Wen Wan really has no talent in sword practice, and she is like a piece of mud that can't be propped up, and she doesn't know how to struggle on her own.
Aside from genuinely trying her best for the first month, out of fear that Gu Yuan would abandon her, Wen Wan started to slack off again after realizing that Gu Yuan wouldn't kick her out.
Gu Yuan punished her, but let him punish her as he pleased; Wen Wan was like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.
Sometimes she even refuses to accept punishment and starts to unconsciously act cute and charming, believing that she and the male lead have become quite familiar with each other.
She also learned that the male lead was extremely cold on the surface, but was actually very soft-hearted. Every time she pestered him a little longer, he was guaranteed to achieve his goal.
The cat has always stayed by her side. Wen Wan has now separated the cat from her. Anyway, she has been petting the cat for so long, and the Immortal Venerable doesn't seem to have done anything. Maybe the two don't even communicate.
So Wen Wan decisively started raising pets, spending her days playing with and petting cats, living a truly blissful life.
Time heals all wounds.
She gradually began to get in touch with her masters. Although she couldn't reveal her identity, seeing them getting better and better put Wen Wan at ease.
The senior students gradually became capable of handling things on their own. Wen Wan would occasionally bring them gifts, but very infrequently, because she couldn't let her identity be discovered, otherwise, even Wen Wan wouldn't know what would happen.
Wen Wan only needs to wait for the day Gu Yuan ascends to immortality, then she can retire gracefully and begin her later years.
Soon, we reached a crucial point in the plot.
That was the opening of a secret realm. The master of that secret realm was the last great power to ascend, more than a thousand years ago. That was the record of the last time a cultivator ascended.
That caused a sensation around the world, since it must contain the secret of ascension.
Both the cultivation world and the demon world are determined to obtain this secret realm.
Of course, this was not something that junior disciples or weak cultivators could go to. The acting sect leader of Mingyuan Sect needed to stay behind to guard Mingyuan Sect, and only Gu Yuan was going.
Several elders originally wanted to go, but they were turned away.
No one expected that when Immortal Venerable Gu Yuan went, he brought two disciples with him: one was his personal disciple Chu Qi, and the other was his disciple Li Sha.
The former was at least a direct disciple, so there was a reason for bringing him along, but the latter clearly puzzled everyone.
Actually, Gu Yuan only planned to bring Wen Wan along at first, but Wen Wan insisted on bringing the female lead as well.
The reason cannot be said, but I just felt that with the male and female leads providing double protection, this trip would definitely be fruitful.
Anyway, the female lead will definitely not turn evil now, and she will definitely not be an enemy of Gu Yuan, so it would be great if they went together.
That secret place is in the far north, where it is extremely cold.
Glaciers are everywhere, which is similar to the North and South Poles of their own world. Fortunately, the cultivators have cultivation to protect them, so they will not freeze to death.
Moreover, to avoid unnecessary casualties, there is a test before the secret realm. Those who are not strong enough will not be able to pass it and will not even be qualified to enter the secret realm.
This hurdle filters out the majority of people; very few below the Nascent Soul stage pass through, since those who go in are simply going to their deaths—not in the secret realm itself, but at the hands of the demons.
Wen Wan and Li Sha won by relying on Gu Yuan. Although he was only guiding them from the sidelines, what difference was there between guidance from an immortal and winning by doing nothing?
They soon entered the secret realm.
Wen Wan instantly felt even colder, twice as cold as outside, and it seemed that her cultivation was also restricted. Wen Wan felt that she would freeze to death. In the end, it was Gu Yuan who transferred spiritual power to Wen Wan and Li Sha, so that she would not die as soon as she entered.
"Master, should I go outside and wait for you?"
Wen Wan backed down. Anyway, this was the male lead's training ground, not hers. As a useless little chicken, whether she followed or not, it wouldn't really change anything, right?
"Once you're in, you can't get out."
Wen Yan: "..."
Regret is real now, it's an overwhelming regret. If heaven gave Wen Wan another chance, she would definitely stop outside and wait outside instead of following these two in. These two have the protagonist's halo, but what does she have? She has nothing.
In the past three years, Li Sha has had many opportunities, and Gu Yuan's seal has not sealed Li Sha's talent, so her cultivation level has been rising rapidly and unstoppable.
It has far surpassed Wen Wan.
This is truly infuriating to compare oneself to others.
"Then Master, you must protect me." With that, she took out three red threads, tied them to Gu Yuan, then to Li Sha, and finally to herself.
Originally intended for couples, the red thread has gradually evolved to serve other purposes. When one partner is in danger, the other can immediately know and sense their location.
It's simply an essential tool for home and travel.
"So where do we go next? This place is all ice, stretching as far as the eye can see. Why did that senior choose such a harsh and cold place to ascend? Wasn't he just asking for trouble?"
Li Sha: "A Yuan, that senior is said to have an ice spirit root. The colder the place, the more suitable it is for him to cultivate."
Wen Yan: "..."
Fine, she's supposedly a Heavenly Spiritual Root, meaning she can adapt to anything. That's a complete lie. She's almost frozen to death here. She doesn't have the constitution of an Ice Spiritual Root at all. She's even worse than the female lead. Sigh, she's really too pitiful.
