Chapter 768: The Succubus Girl

"Boom!"

Upon hearing the girl intended to personally send them away, all cultivators except Ye Yun and Gui Xiaohan scrambled to leave, terrified of being killed if they lingered.

With only Ye Yun and Gui Xiaohan remaining, the Falling Phoenix girl declared, "The woman and weapon are here. Let’s exchange payment swiftly."

"The Lord of Red City values efficiency. These 18 million top-tier Immortal Spirit Stones are my gift, along with my father’s wishes for your continued health," Gui Xiaohan said, noticing her impatience. He produced a jade ring from his robe and presented it respectfully.

"Your father oversteps. Such trivial matters don’t require his input. But since it’s Immortal Spirit Stones, I’ll accept them." She counted the stones meticulously before turning to Ye Yun. "And yours? If you’ve lied, I’ll strike you down regardless of your backing."

"Brother’s boldness impresses!" Gui Xiaohan chuckled, inferring Ye Yun’s powerful background from his lavish spending. He resolved to cultivate this connection for future advantage.

"Ten million top-tier Immortal Spirit Stones. I’ll take my leave unless there’s further business." Ye Yun tossed a hemp sack to the girl. After verification, she remarked, "You’re wealthier than expected. Visit more often."

"Perhaps another time. I haven’t sampled all dishes at Red Qian Building yet." Ye Yun smiled before activating spatial laws, vanishing with the bound girl as Gui Xiaohan tried to speak.

Watching them depart, Hong Qianji exhaled softly. "Why linger? Leave now unless you crave death."

"Farewell, Lord of Red City." Gui Xiaohan bowed and retreated, hastening his steps when sensing her murderous intent.

Surveying the battle platform stained with demon beast blood, Hong Qianji smiled as dawn light erased the gore, leaving only potent essence blood. She basked in the warmth, murmuring, "At last."

At Qian Ying’s old training ground, dawn light illuminated the succubus girl’s face, her layered pink pupils mesmerizing Ye Yun. "I’ll free you if you vow not to attack me."

The girl nodded uncertainly, clinging to this slim hope despite knowing humanity’s hatred for her kind.

With mental command, Ye Yun shattered her chains. The succubus drifted groundward, staring blankly at her red-marked hands before gazing at him like a lost pup awaiting orders.

"Her mind’s broken," Ye Yun muttered. "Perhaps trauma or erased memories. It won’t kill her, but…"

"Why save me?" The girl rasped in halting human tongue.

"Repaying a debt. Your crimes don’t warrant death." Ye Yun shrugged.

"Debt? Then Qing Li owes too." Her voice trembled. Abandoned by the Devil Race, she’d die without his protection in this spirit energy-poisoned world.

The Ancestor chuckled mentally. *She’ll last a month at most without demonic energy. Let her perish.*

"Mercy for devils? Never." Ye Yun’s resolve hardened. He’d eliminate her next meeting, though part him hesitated. "But letting her starve now voids my repayment."

*Careful,* the Ancestor warned. *Sharing your scant demonic energy risks your equilibrium. Total absorption might thrust you into the demon god realm.*

Ye Yun grimaced. Unlike Mo Wenxian’s detached pure-heartedness, his Heart Calming path required emotional balance. Yet this succubus threatened everything.

"Rules exist to be bent." He fired a spirit perception beam into her sea of consciousness. "Resist and I’ll confine you in this spatial Immortal artifact. I’ll procure your demonic energy."

"O-okay." Blushing under his gentle gaze, Qing Li squeezed her eyes shut, accepting this human as her precarious anchor.

Summoning a black Ancient City artifact, Ye Yun absorbed her into its void. Inside, seven rotating top-quality Immortal artifacts emitted prismatic light merging into eerie darkness.

*Predictable,* the Ancestor mused as Ye Yun intensified the artifact’s power. *When cornered, he always gambles.*

In a deserted cave thick with Immortal spirit energy, Ye Yun left a low-grade heavenly material to sustain the environment. Whether it attracted future beasts concerned him not.
