Chapter 479
by fanqienovelChapter 479: The Enchanting Demoness
Li Hui felt a tremor before him; he had entered the Mysterious Pearl.
“Great, so great!”
Surrounding the silver snake Legal form were cloud talismans that emerged instantly, gathering clouds and fog to support his form as he spoke: “Yao’er, what specific effects does Senior Li Xuan’s alchemy have? Have you uncovered any mysteries?”
Hearing the voice, Yao’er felt delighted. Having not seen her father for a while, she missed him dearly.
“Father, how did you get in? We tried from inside the cave, and we couldn’t even send a message.” Yao’er flew through the clouds, holding a medicinal gourd.
Xiuqiu and Xie Xuan also arrived quickly, followed by many demons and disciples rushing to the scene. Li Hui looked around at everyone with joy, noticing they all appeared energetic and vibrant, showing substantial progress over the past few months.
“There are injured people outside. I have formed my Legal form, and this is how I came inside to retrieve the alchemy.”
“Injured?” Yao’er was quick to understand that the injured person must be very important to her father and was likely severely wounded, or else he wouldn’t place his hopes on the alchemy left by Senior Li Xuan.
“This alchemy…” Yao’er hesitated to speak.
Xie Xuan, ever blunt, interjected: “I’m afraid this news will disappoint our adoptive father. This alchemy is indeed powerful but lacks any healing properties. After extensive research over the past few days, we discovered that the pill has transformed into jade dragons and jade tigers, being one of the rarest jade pills in the world. It surpasses many precious pills and divine pills, even more so than Jade Symbols. Beneath its surface, this pill resembles a stone, and based on its medicinal properties, it requires at least All-Manifestation Realm cultivation to swallow, and its sole effect is to strengthen the power of the Legal form.”
“A pill that benefits the Legal form?” Li Hui chuckled wryly as he retrieved a pill. What could he do? The pill was exceptional, yet it had no healing effects. Should he risk losing the most important person in his life to the separation of Yin and Yang?
Mingming suddenly asked, “Hui Ge, is Auntie hurt?”
This girl had grown up and no longer called him “Uncle” but “Hui Ge,” yet she still referred to Ji Mengxue as “Auntie.”
“Alas! It is indeed your Auntie.” Li Hui sighed, trying hard to think of a plan.
“Father, why not visit a sect specializing in healing?” Yao’er clapped her hands and summoned insect demons, saying, “As the saying goes, wealth can bridge gaps. If we want to win the favor of the medical sect, we must offer something valuable; I’ll prepare it for you right away.”
“Indeed, that is a good idea.” Xiuqiu agreed and suddenly added, “Your disciples are impressive. I’ve taught them all I could, so have them carry me with you to make effective use of my teachings!”
“Okay!” Li Hui nodded.
Yao’er led the group of demons in a flurry, gathering many spiritual treasures from the cave, clearing out everything accumulated over the past few months, and then fetching the elixirs crafted by the demons. The quality might not have been high, but the quantity was significant.
With so many items, they were stored in the Xuanji ruler and handed over to Xiuqiu for safekeeping. This was a storage type spirit treasure, not only providing ample space but also capable of automatically sorting items.
“Time is tight; in the future, my Legal form can enter at any time, and I will find time to hold classes,” Li Hui instructed briefly before quickly rising into the air with his Legal form and talisman brush.
The return journey was fraught with danger. The Legal form moved slower while carrying items, causing slight reactions in the Dao Traces formation. He constantly dodged and hastened through the perils. However, Li Hui never expected that just as his Legal form turned back toward his dantian, he felt his long purple hair wrap around him, its strands vibrating like strings on a zither, piercing him without him knowing how long it had been, drawing blood little by little.
“Zheng, zheng, zheng…”
The hair trembled. Ji Mengxue lay in the center of the treasure cabinet array, smiling softly: “My little lover, what were you doing just now? Didn’t you notice how your sister has entangled you with her hair? This level of body refinement is indeed rare; it took quite some effort to pierce your skin.”
“Sister, you’re awake!” Li Hui exclaimed in delight.
“Giggle!” Ji Mengxue covered her mouth and then, with a serious expression, said: “Silly boy, don’t you know my feelings for you? What sister? I can’t even remember what your sworn elder brother looks like; he never spoke a word to me and only cared about those orphans and widows. You’ve always wanted me to marry, right? Haha, great! Today, I shall marry you and be your wife.”
Li Hui narrowed his eyes, spiritual light flickering, and responded coldly, “Who are you?”
“Ah! You change your expression really fast,” Ji Mengxue feigned surprise: “Who am I? Don’t you know after tasting me yourself?”
As the words left her mouth, Ji Mengxue’s clothes began to slip off one by one, revealing her snow-white body like a lotus root, smiling as she said, “Husband, don’t be rash. The Purple Crystal array is quite marvelous; it can constantly adjust my five elements. If the formation changes, your dear wife could vanish into thin air.”
“Outrageous! Get away from my sister’s body!” Li Hui was extremely wary, unwilling to rashly move the treasure cabinet, as the purple hair had pierced his body, seeking the location of his acupoints.
“Husband, what’s the matter? Mengxue’s heart is filled with you.” Ji Mengxue tightened her long hair, gently pulling Li Hui closer.
As they drew near, Xiuqiu suddenly appeared, closing her fingers to point at the demoness’s forehead. However, a dagger flashed against her pale neck, teasing: “Your husband’s talisman brush is impressive, almost succeeding. If I don’t grant Mengxue her wish today, what’s the point of living?”
Li Hui withdrew his talisman brush with a steely expression, “Using my sister’s life to threaten me? You hit my soft spot. But if she dies, I will bind you and kill you a thousand times.”
“Silly boy, she is me, and I am her. Some cultivate hate from love, some nurture love from hate, and naturally, there are those who become demons from love. Ever since Mengxue refused to forget you and died once, a love demon was born in this world.” Ji Mengxue floated in the center of the treasure cabinet array, manipulating her purple hair, gradually pulling her body into Li Hui’s embrace with a tragic smile: “I am the demon of fools, the calamity of lovers, a rare love demon in this world!”
“Death calamity becomes a love demon?” Li Hui was astonished. Just at that moment, he realized something was off; his body trembled lightly as the purple hair found its target, piercing into an acupoint, the Qi of Taiqing furiously rejecting the intrusion.
“Husband, your profound skills are deeply rooted in clear qi, and your primal yang is intact. Mengxue is so happy,” Ji Mengxue cried tears of joy but then realized her face showed no tears. With an enchanting smile, she continued, “Only this primal yang is qualified to mix with my primal yin, giving birth to extraordinary offspring in the future.”
“You dare…” Li Hui was about to strike when he felt a sudden pain, as the demoness had quickly found multiple acupoints within a short time, leaving him weak and powerless.
“Ha, this array connects with your body’s acupoints. It’s nearly impossible to break through from outside, but within the array, I have no obstacles!”
Li Hui had never encountered such a strange and troublesome situation. Unable to harm his elder sister, he found himself in a dilemma, especially with the alluring body in his embrace radiating an irresistible fragrance, as if Yin and Yang were meant to harmonize.
In a moment, their lips met. Li Hui was just about to unleash his Legal form when this kiss widened his eyes, rendering him momentarily stunned.
The fragrant tongue teasingly probed, truly embodying the calamity of lovers, sparing no seductive measure.
“No, seal it!”
At this critical moment, the Legal form surged against Ji Mengxue’s forehead, causing a flicker of light. The love demon’s eyes filled with sorrow, gradually fading away, and the purple hair retracted.
Li Hui gasped for breath, feeling a sudden tightness all over. Bai Ze’s divine eye noticed a strand of purple hair appear between himself and his sister, filling his heart with dread.
