Chapter 8: Female Demon Lord Su Jiuji
Shortly after Liu Ruxi left, a thick white smoke suddenly emerged from the surroundings of the corpse, slowly forming a voluptuous woman in red.
When Xiao Liyue saw the charming woman in front of him, he was stunned. She was just as described in the book, a truly stunning beauty.
So she smiled and greeted, "Sister, you are so beautiful!"
Being praised by her like this, the woman in red smiled brightly. At this moment, Xiao Liyue finally understood what kind of beauty it was that was said to be able to conquer a city with a smile, and a country with a smile. Xiao Liyue was stunned.
The woman in red looked at Xiao Liyue and said with a smile: "Am I really beautiful? I haven't heard anyone say I'm beautiful for more than 5,000 years. I'm very happy today. Little girl, are you willing to become my disciple and accept my inheritance?"
"Beautiful sister..."
Xiao Liyue was halfway through her words when she suddenly woke up. The woman in front of her was actually a person who lived five thousand years ago. That meant she was older than her eighteen generations of ancestors.
She reacted and laughed awkwardly, "Ahem... that beautiful sister, I practice the righteous way. If my father knew that I practiced the evil way because I coveted your beauty, he would be so angry that he would die. Wouldn't that be a rebellion? I was born by a mother but not raised by her. My father raised me with great difficulty. I must not make him angry to death!"
The red-dressed woman was not angry when she saw her refusal: "You are an honest and good child, and your life story is quite pitiful. Since you don't want to, I won't force you to practice magic, so as not to destroy your father-daughter relationship. Although I, Su Jiuji, practice magic, I will not do anything to force you."
Seeing that she was so easy to talk to, Xiao Liyue immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, beautiful sister, for your understanding. You are such a good person, much better than my senior sister."
Su Jiuji asked curiously, "Oh? Really? I think that girl just now was pretty good too?"
"Hey... it's hard to explain in a few words! I'll just make it short!"
When Xiao Liyue finished speaking, her expression was solemn. "I didn't expect her to be so scheming. It's normal for a little girl like you to lose in a fight with her for a man. Your experience is very similar to mine, including your clear distinction between love and hate. If you want a Taoist partner, my disciples are all handsome men, so I can introduce you to a few."
Xiao Liyue was frightened and quickly shook her head, "Forget it, beautiful sister, I'd rather be beautiful alone. Men will only affect my speed of drawing a sword. Stay away from men and cherish your life. I still cherish the life I have now."
After hearing this, Su Jiuji looked dazed, as if she remembered something, and there was sadness in her eyes.
"Haha... If I had thought the same way you do now, I probably wouldn't have ended up in this miserable situation."
Xiao Liyue didn't expect that she also had a past that was too painful to look back on.
Su Jiuji seemed to have thought of something, and pointed to the bottom of her body. "Under my body is buried the space ring that I secretly left behind before I died. It will be regarded as a gift to you. Also, I want to thank you for letting me completely let go of thousands of years of hatred. Since you don't want to practice magic, I will give you my magic secret book. One day, if you meet a magic practitioner you like, you can teach him my skills! After all, I don't know if I can find a suitable successor!"
She looked at Xiao Liyue: "You exude a very strange aura, as if you don't exist in this world. What is your spiritual root? How much is your innate spiritual power?"
Xiao Liyue smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Beauty, I am ashamed to say that I have useless spiritual roots in all attributes. Each spiritual root has only ten points of innate spiritual power."
Su Jiuji was very surprised when she heard this, she had never seen such poor innate spiritual power. Even if it was a useless spiritual root, it was impossible to have only ten points of innate spiritual power.
"Ten points of innate spiritual power? Then how did you advance to the foundation-building stage? After all, with your useless spiritual roots and innate spiritual power value, you will never be able to break through the foundation-building stage in your lifetime. It's really strange." The women surrounded her and looked at her with a look of surprise.
Xiao Liyue was embarrassed by what he said, "Yes...my father fed the pills to her."
She shook her head and then looked at Xiao Liyue's mask and said, "How can you, a girl, still wear a mask? Now it's just you and me. Take it off and let me see it."
The book says that Xiao Liyue became ugly on one side due to poisoning when she was one year old. Maybe Su Jiuji knows why the original owner's face became like this.
So Xiao Liyue took off her mask, revealing half of her right face which was covered with dark red prominent stripes. The prominent stripes extended to her chin, making her look extremely ugly. But to Su Jiuji's surprise, her left face was extremely beautiful.
Su Jiuji frowned and stretched out her hand to touch Xiao Liyue's right cheek.
After a moment, he suppressed his anger and said, "What a vicious person! It was the Yin Ling Flower that poisoned a cultivator. Even if a cultivator did not die after eating it by mistake, he would become a useless person with slow cultivation. This poisonous flower was almost extinct. I didn't expect that five thousand years later, it would still harm people."
Seeing that she knew her, Xiao Liyue asked excitedly, "Then can my face be saved?"
"Of course there is a way. I have read it in an ancient book."
Then she said quietly, "A holy lotus grows on the Holy Spirit Spring, and the holy lotus blossoms into a lotus pod. There are countless seeds in the lotus pod. Drinking from the seeds and the spring together will keep your youth."
It is supposed to be a thing that keeps youth forever and has the effect of removing the poison of the Yin Ling Flower. However, the Holy Spirit Spring is too rare and whenever you encounter one, there will be a high-level spirit beast guarding it.
Xiao Liyue put on the mask helplessly, "Let it be! Anyway, it has no impact on my life. Apart from affecting my appearance and eating, it's not a big deal."
Su Jiuji was very impressed to see that she was so open-minded as a woman, but it was a pity that she did not practice magic.
Su Jiuji lightly tapped Xiao Liyue's brow with her finger, and countless magic cultivation techniques were transmitted into her sea of consciousness.
Seeing this, Xiao Liyue said, "Don't worry, beautiful sister, I will find a suitable disciple for you and pass on this technique."
"I'll wait for you!" She nodded with a smile, and slowly disappeared between heaven and earth.
Xiao Liyue slowly stood up, walked to her corpse, bowed to her three times with respect, then moved her aside and dug with his hands. After a while, he found a jade box covered with dirt.
Although it was covered in mud, one could still vaguely tell that the jade box was very delicate. When she slowly opened it, she found two delicate space rings inside.
The surfaces of the two rings are embossed with intricate yet neat and elegant patterns, and the dots of silver light are as dazzling as the starry sky.
And the silver ring body is like an ancient vine, stretching out around the captivating purple jade gem. The cold silver light is reflected by the enchanting purple light, as if it has been waiting for two lovers for a lifetime.
