Chapter 32 Seduction
Just as Ye Li was hesitating whether to go up and find out what was going on, a lazy chuckle suddenly sounded behind her.
Are you looking for me?
She turned around abruptly, and Xie Sixing appeared behind her at some point, leaning against the railing with his arms crossed, watching her leisurely.
She had been paying attention to her surroundings the whole time, so why didn't she notice Xie Sixing?
Ye Li suddenly realized something: since Xie Sixing could write the Spirit Void Soul Control Technique, he must have already reached the highest level of cultivation. Even if he only had a soul body, she still couldn't do anything to him.
Ye Li silently stepped back. "What's on that?"
Upon hearing Ye Li's question, Xie Sixing's expression became somewhat subtle.
Are all disciples of the Tianmen Sect this straightforward? Or is this particular disciple just exceptionally straightforward?
He looked Ye Li up and down. "I'm starting to understand why you died so young."
Ye Li felt stung and frowned, "What do you mean!"
"It means that after seeing something you shouldn't see, it's best to find some excuse, especially for an evil spirit like me."
When the man spoke of evil spirits, the corners of his lips curved into a smile, as if he were joking, or perhaps giving a warning.
After saying this, Xie Sixing resumed his lazy demeanor, leisurely walking downstairs with his hands behind his back, completely unconcerned that she would go up.
Ye Li looked up at the unknown space, the unknown danger.
Having died once, she felt a greater sense of awe than before and dared not act rashly again.
When they came downstairs, Xie Sixing was sprawled on the couch like he had no bones, with his legs crossed, flipping through a storybook and reading with great interest.
Since she entered the Chaos Realm, she has been spending every day with Xie Sixing. He spends most of his time lying down or lounging around, rarely moving.
Why would the Tianmen Sect suppress such a lazy evil spirit?
Unless, he was faking it, his purpose being to lower her guard.
Ye Li scrutinized him.
He helped her, but didn't ask her for anything in return.
She didn't believe an evil spirit would be so willing to help; she knew all too well that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
Why did you help me?
Hearing Ye Li's words, Xie Sixing lifted his eyelids from behind the storybook, a half-smile on his face, "Shouldn't you have asked me that when I first helped you?"
It seems so...
But it's not too late now!
Ye Li said coldly, "Tell me, what exactly are you up to!"
Xie Sixing raised his hands, "Daoist Master, I'm innocent!"
"I kindly gave you the cultivation technique and even took you and that fat bird in, but you doubted me like this. You hurt my feelings."
He said that, but his eyes were full of mockery.
Ye Li would be a fool to believe that. She remained unmoved. "Don't try to sweet-talk me. If you're willing to help me, you must be hoping I'll help you break the seal."
Xie Sixing was surprised, "You guessed it so quickly?"
He smirked. "That's right, I just want to curry favor with you, and then when the time is right, I'll have you help me escape. How about it, isn't this plan brilliant?"
Seeing how naturally he admitted it, Ye Li was furious. "Dream on! Regardless of whether I am a disciple of the Heavenly Gate Sect or not, I will absolutely not allow such a monster to appear in the world!"
"Oh, you don't agree? Then forget it."
Xie Sixing lay back down, without even trying to persuade her again.
This made Ye Li's sense of justice seem to hit a brick wall, leaving her somewhat bewildered.
So, you're giving up?
Are we giving up on trying?
"How do you want me to fight for it?"
Upon hearing Xie Sixing's question, Ye Li realized that she had spoken her mind.
Before she could speak, the spineless Xie Sixing shifted his posture, bending his legs and supporting himself on his arms. His black robe fell onto the couch, and he looked up at her, asking, "How about seduction?"
It must be said that Xie Sixing has a face that makes people forget he is an evil spirit. He has a handsome profile, long arms and a slender waist. The fact that his left eye is covered does not affect his appearance. On the contrary, it adds a touch of bewitching charm that is both righteous and evil, making people unable to resist exploring him.
Unfortunately, he met Ye Li.
She said expressionlessly, "Good and evil cannot coexist. Please have some self-respect."
After saying that, she began cultivating on her own, not giving Xie Sixing a single glance.
Xie Sixing was quite surprised and put away the illusion to examine Ye Li.
If you're not tempted by this, you must be made of wood.
He started making conversation again, saying, "If you're interested, don't hold back. I'd be happy to help."
"..."
"You really weren't tempted? If you weren't tempted, shouldn't you have at least some feelings?"
"..."
"Or do you already have a partner? Are you worried about trouble at home?"
"..."
Seeing that Ye Li was oblivious to what was happening around her, Xie Sixing muttered to himself, "Could it be that she's a womanizer?"
Ye Li ignored him, but her heart was filled with turmoil.
Daoist companions...
She did have it.
Ye Li was never a sensible or discerning woman from a young age. While other female disciples were flirting and teasing each other, she was focused on asking questions and knew nothing about romance or love.
So when Lu Ziting confessed his feelings to her, her first reaction was to be at a loss.
"You want to become my Daoist partner? Why?"
At that time, Lu Ziting had not yet fallen in love with someone else, and his handsome face was full of affection.
"Because I love you, and Ah Li loves Senior Brother too, right? Otherwise, Ah Li wouldn't have lured away the monsters for me during the trial, right?"
Sixteen-year-old Ye Li was a little confused. It was a third-tier magical beast, and Lu Ziting couldn't defeat it at all. In fact, it would only hold her back, which was why she lured the magical beast away.
Is this what liking someone is?
Before he could think it through, Lu Ziting grasped her hand and said tenderly, "Ali, from now on, let me take care of you. No matter what happens, I will always stand by your side and never let you down. If I ever break this promise, I am willing to suffer the torment of being burned alive in the deepest abyss and never see the light of day again."
Take care of her...
For so many years, Ye Li has been taking care of her junior brothers and managing the sect. If someone could take care of her, that would be... wonderful.
However, Lu Ziting's cultivation level was much lower than hers, so she took care of Lu Ziting most of the time.
She didn't understand love, but she would save the best elixirs and magical artifacts to give to him.
Lu Ziting was skilled in wood carving and often gave her small trinkets. Her favorite was a small figurine.
He said that he would dedicate his entire life to sculpting a small portrait of her.
But he broke his promise.
When she discovered that Lu Ziting had carved a whole set of wooden statues for Su Ying'er, she went to his door to ask him why he had broken his promise.
“Ah Li, they’re just wooden statues. My junior sister liked them, so I carved some for her. Wooden statues aren’t valuable. Why are you so stingy? Why do you have to keep them all to yourself?”
Ye Li was puzzled.
It was clearly his promise, so why is it that when she wants him to keep his promise, she's being petty?

Lotus Gate
"Senior Brother, this wood carving is so beautiful! Ying'er loves it!"
Lu Ziting smiled and patted Su Ying'er's head. Just as he was about to speak, another scene flashed before his eyes.
The same girl held up a wooden carving, asking, "Was this a gift for me? Is that me on it?"
The girl usually kept a cold face to suppress her junior brother, but now a hint of curiosity appeared in her eyes. She held it up and looked at it again and again, saying, "This is the first time someone has sculpted a small portrait of me."
His heart softened. "There will be many more in the future. Your senior brother will only carve small statues for you."
"Thank you, senior brother."
Lu Ziting was momentarily dazed as he looked at the girl's smiling face, as if he couldn't tell who was in front of him.
