Chapter 18
After Chu Xianyue set up a maze on the formation, he leaped in front of Xie Wen. The words the flower fairy had said to them before the illusion shattered flashed through his mind: As long as my master is here, you can't kill me.
Perhaps they've been targeting the wrong person all along. The flower fairy is just a minor character; the real mastermind is actually her master!
Realizing this, Chu Xianyue immediately pulled Xie Wen aside, "We've got the focus wrong. The focus should be on the flower fairy's master, not the flower fairy herself. Let's go in again!"
As he spoke, Chu Xianyue leaped into the air with Xie Wen in tow. Xie Wen then tried to pull Yun Yan along, but Yun Yan refused and flew into the black hole of the Ten Directions Cauldron.
Upon returning to the secluded forest, Xie Wen no longer wanted to play games with the flower demon and asked it directly, "We know we can't kill you. Come out, and how about we make a deal? We have something you want, and we need your help to find a way to break through our current realm. So let's make a deal. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"
The flower fairy spoke up, "Very well, little beauty, you're quite straightforward. I wonder if the little immortal beside you is as straightforward as you."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xianyue's eyelids twitched, and he had a bad feeling.
The flower fairy said to herself, "I've been alone in this desolate forest for decades, and it's quite interesting to finally see a living person come to my place. Especially since it's so rare to meet someone so handsome, even if his character isn't great. But his looks can make up for it, right, little immortal?" The flower fairy then changed the subject, no longer pretending, "I want him. I want to cultivate with him. He's so good-looking, his genes must be excellent too."
The "little immortal" mentioned by the flower fairy was naturally Chu Xianyue.
Xie Wen was taken aback by the flower demon's words. In his lifetime, he actually saw Chu Xianyue being treated as a male prostitute, and the flower demon even wanted to use him as a tool to divorce his father and keep his son! How rare.
Xie Wen: I watched a play. I ate sunflower seeds.
Yun Yan reacted strongly, even more furious than if he himself had been humiliated. He stepped forward, pointed at the flower fairy's nose, and yelled, "Who do you think you're humiliating? If you really dare to do that, I'll be the first to kill you! Get out here right now!"
Instead of getting angry, the flower demon laughed and said, "You all know my true form. It's right there, I haven't run away. Go ahead and kill me if you want." It knew that even if they knew where its true form was, they couldn't do anything to it, so it was fearless and extremely arrogant.
Yun Yan was so angry that his hands trembled. He picked up his knife and slashed at the forest a few times to vent his anger. He absolutely could not let this demon tarnish his pure and noble master!
No one is allowed! Yun Yan will not allow it!
I will absolutely not let it touch Chu Xianyue! Not even a single finger!
Yun Yan stepped forward and blocked Chu Xianyue's path, her expression wary, as if she knew no one could understand Chu Xianyue.
Xie Wen: He's quite protective of his master.
Chu Xianyue: "..." There's really no need for that.
Xie Wen said calmly, "But if we don't do it this way, we have no other options. Right now, this little flower fairy is the only breakthrough." Xie Wen's words struck Yun Yan's heart.
Yun Yan's face turned ugly. Having no other choice, he suddenly put on a deathbed expression, stood in front of Chu Xianyue, and said righteously, "Flower demon, if you want to, come at me!"
Xie Wen almost burst out laughing. It was clear that Yun Yan was really going all out. Under normal circumstances, he would probably rather die than agree to such a request from a monster.
It seems they truly regard Chu Xianyue as an inviolable god.
But they wouldn't admit it. A wisp of the flower fairy's demonic aura circled around Yun Yan, scrutinizing him carefully, and finally said, "Although you are quite handsome, do you think you can compare to your master?"
Yun Yan was speechless. He hadn't expected that his complete daring would only result in its disdain! A blatant humiliation! It was worse than death. But then he thought about it again and realized that he truly couldn't be compared to Chu Xianyue in any way.
Having no other choice, Xie Wen weakly suggested, "How about Master just compromise a little?"
After speaking, Chu Xianyue's eyes flashed with a cold light, which Xie Wen had anticipated. He turned his head away, unperturbed. Xie Wen was telling the truth. This was a last resort.
You have to admit, Xie Wen really puts the greater good in her. Xie Wen murmured softly, "If it were me, and a male demon took a liking to me, I think I could play along. It's not like it's real. Sigh, maybe my flaw is that I'm too considerate of the bigger picture. Oh well. If it were me, I would definitely do the same."
At this moment, Chu Xianyue, who was "lacking in vision and moral character": "..."
Is it interesting for him to be playing with crickets in front of him?
He took a deep breath, suppressing his murderous intent. He was so angry with Xie Wen that he was almost breathless.
Finally, Yun Yan was pushed aside by the person behind him, and he looked at Chu Xianyue in astonishment.
Chu Xianyue remained expressionless and said coldly, "Fine."
Yun Yan's eyes widened. "Master!" How could this be!
"How could this be?!"
Chu Xianyue: "Okay..."
Yun Yan: "How could you!!!"
Chu Xianyue: "Okay..."
Yun Yan was about to speak again when Xie Wen pulled her away. Xie Wen sighed, thinking to himself, "Chu Xianyue finally agreed, so don't you dare cause trouble." The girl had offered herself up; even if he, a grown man, took it for granted, he wouldn't lose out.
"It's alright, it's alright." Xie Wen reassured Yun Yan, "Don't worry, since Master himself said so, he must be confident in his abilities to do this, and he definitely won't let himself suffer a loss."
Yun Yan didn't understand what kind of loss Xie Wen was referring to, but in the end, there was really no other way. No matter how heartbroken he was, he could only endure it.
The flower fairy was overjoyed to hear that Chu Xianyue was willing to agree. A wisp of demonic energy happily circled around Chu Xianyue, seemingly greedily inhaling his scent.
Chu Xianyue closed his eyes, exhaled heavily, and clenched his fists, seemingly extremely disgusted yet trying his best to endure it.
"Since the little fairy has agreed, then it's a deal. Let's have our wedding night today." Having achieved her goal, things were different; the little flower fairy's voice now carried an undisguised smile.
Xie Wen: "Hey, we agreed to your request, so you have to agree to help us break this illusion, right?"
Flower Fairy: "I don't understand. What illusion? You come here every now and then to cause trouble, and you call it an illusion? I only know that this place is not an illusion. It can't be broken."
Chu Xianyue: "Then forget it."
Flower Fairy: "Hey, wait a minute, Immortal Master, let's talk this over. There are other things I can do to help you."
Chu Xianyue: "Take us to see your master."
The flower fairy paused, seemingly shrinking back. Although it had spoken of its master with such pride and reliance, the mention of seeing him now filled it with a hint of fear.
Needless to say, its master is the Ghost Palace Master, who is feared by everyone!
However, after a few seconds of hesitation, the flower fairy relented, "Sure, sure, I can take you to see my master. But think it over, my master isn't as easy to talk to as I am. He's terrifying. No one ever comes back alive from him."
Chu Xianyue responded with an "oh," seemingly even more interested, and said quietly, "I've thought it through."
Xie Wen found the flower spirit's words quite plausible, as its voice became slightly more serious when it spoke of its master, indicating that it was indeed not to be underestimated. This mysterious master?
Xie Wen and the others were thinking about the Flower Fairy Master when, in the blink of an eye, everything went black before their eyes, the world turned upside down, and chaos ensued.
They've been bewitched by the flower fairy.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Xianyue slowly woke up, feeling a splitting headache. Holding his head, he opened his eyes and looked around. It was an ordinary room, covered with red "double happiness" characters and some red curtains.
Looking down again, she saw herself dressed in a bright red wedding gown with intricate patterns and exquisite design. Looking up again, she saw a bride with a red veil sitting gracefully beside her, quietly waiting.
This must be the flower fairy; they've gotten married so quickly. She seems really anxious.
Chu Xianyue did not want to touch it, nor did he intend to.
He sat there blankly, silently pondering a solution. What about Xie Wen and Yun Yan?
What should he do now? He can't exactly turn this into a real-life drama, can he? He thought there were other tedious procedures to buy time. Who knew that the moment he opened his eyes, this would be the scene before him?
What should he do?
He turned his head and looked at the person beside him dressed in an exquisite wedding gown. He raised his hand and approached its neck, but the veins on his hand suddenly withdrew.
Chu Xianyue's eyes turned cold. Just as he had thought, he suddenly grabbed the bride by the neck, pinned her against the headboard, and asked in a chilling voice, "Where are the other two?"
Who knew that the bride would be pinched so hard that she fell backward, the red veil sliding down her cheek to the side, revealing a beautiful face with cloud-like hair and flowers.
Chu Xianyue's hand, which was gripping Xie Wen's, trembled slightly, and his eyes widened.
Xie Wen?
Xie Wen twisted her neck, which Chu Xianyue had pinched painfully, with a distorted smile. She wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, she seemed quite satisfied with Chu Xianyue's reaction. She touched her face and said proudly, "Why are you so shocked by my beauty?"
Chu Xianyue took a deep breath, treating Xie Wen's body and face as its own, and even asked others if they were stunned by its beauty? This was the first time Chu Xianyue had ever seen such shamelessness.
Time and time again. This is simply unbearable!
Chu Xianyue: "You really like Xie Wen's appearance that much?" Possessing herself in her body again and again? He couldn't understand why the flower demon was so obsessed with Xie Wen's face. She wasn't exactly a peerless beauty, a national treasure. Just average-looking, an ordinary woman.
It said, "I only attached myself to her because you like her, don't be ungrateful. My skin-changing skills aren't that good enough to conjure up the essence of a little beauty, so I figured it was faster to just attach myself to her directly. Don't you think so? I told you whether you like it or not."
Chu Xianyue turned his head away angrily, swearing for the first time in his life, "Like my ass."
Flower Fairy: "Oh, she's shy."
Xie Wen smiled, her innocence tinged with a hint of allure, as she gently stroked Chu Xianyue's face, from top to bottom, inch by inch, strand by strand, thoroughly enjoying herself.
Chu Xianyue didn't know what was wrong with him at that moment. He closed his eyes, his head feeling hot and throbbing. He told himself that it wasn't Xie Wen, it wasn't Xie Wen!
Flower Fairy: Tsk tsk tsk, the little beauty's body is still the best.
Chu Xianyue: "Get off her."
"No."
Chu Xianyue was furious. He closed his eyes, turned around, and forcefully pushed "Xie Wen" down onto the bed.
Xie Wen put on a shy expression and said in a sweet voice, "I didn't expect the Immortal Master to be so anxious, even more anxious than me."
As she spoke, her hands began to wander and tug at Chu Xianyue's clothes. "I see you really like it, don't you? You say you don't like it, you don't want it, but actually you're thinking... tsk tsk, you little fairies, you just love to say one thing and mean another."
Chu Xianyue supported Xie Wen with one hand and slowly leaned down. Xie Wen thought he was going to kiss her, so she closed her eyes.
The flower fairy was so engrossed in the moment that she didn't take any precautions, and Chu Xianyue raised his hand and waved it.
In an instant, the flower demon was bewitched by Chu Xianyue's illusion. He urged the flower demon's soul to quickly roll out of Xie Wen's body. After a long while, a wisp of the demon's soul slowly floated out of Xie Wen's body.
Xie Wen slowly woke up, opened her eyes, and the first person she saw was Chu Xianyue, who was wearing a wedding dress.
Just a second ago, Xie Wen was laughing: Hehe, it's really rare to see Chu Xianyue like this.
The next second, Xie Wen realized something was wrong. Wait, what? Why was she lying there? Why was she in that position? Where was she? How did she end up under Chu Xianyue? And she was still wearing the same wedding dress that matched Chu Xianyue's?!
Xie Wen: No?!
Just then, the door to the "wedding room" was blasted open, stirring up years of accumulated dust. The three of them looked at each other through the gray, misty dust.
Yun Yan: "?" He had barely managed to break through the flower fairy's illusion and risked his life to get here.
What's this?
