Chapter 913: Trade!
“Is that so…”
Su Yi was surprised as well. He was somewhat familiar with his older brother, Lifetaken Yama Xi Wuqing, and his fearsome reputation with poisons. Yet, he never expected Feng Qier, who was seen by the clan as someone with an ominous problem, to actually possess such remarkable talent.
“I’ve stumbled upon mentions of the Disastrous Poison Soul in ancient texts. It’s said that those afflicted by it are beyond cure, unaffected by any medicine or divine intervention.”
Huang Jian paused briefly before speaking. He had come across the Disastrous Poison Soul in ancient scriptures.
“That’s right, the Disastrous Poison Soul is an incurable condition, rendering medicine and magic useless.”
Xi Wuqing nodded, his eyes glimmering as he added, “But the world is strange. My cultivation method was designed specifically for those with the Disastrous Poison Soul. If they practice my method, their progress will be accelerated, and there is a sixty percent chance that the Disastrous Poison Soul will cease to be a hindrance.”
“Only a sixty percent chance with the cultivation method?”
Su Yi was astonished. It sounded like Feng Qier was in a rather tough situation based on what his older brother, Xi Wuqing, had said.
“A sixty percent chance is already significant. Without my cultivation method, this girl might not survive another year before the Disastrous Poison Soul takes her.”
Xi Wuqing glared at Su Yi once more.
“Is that so…”
Su Yi didn’t fully grasp the nature of the Disastrous Poison Soul, but from his elder brother’s expression, it was clear that if Feng Qier could learn their cultivation method, it would be doubly effective. He asked, “Elder brother, are you planning to take Feng Qier as your disciple?”
“Even if I wanted to, this foolish girl wouldn’t be able to enter my sect. With her temperament, even if she became my disciple, she wouldn’t focus fully on cultivation.”
Xi Wuqing sighed. Given Feng Qier’s nature, always preoccupied with the selfish and heartless members of her clan, it would be impossible for her to devote herself entirely to cultivation. Even if she became his disciple, she would lack the concentration needed for serious practice.
Su Yi frowned in understanding. He realized what his elder brother Xi Wuqing meant. With Feng Qier’s foolishness, even if their elder brother took her in as a disciple, she wouldn’t be able to focus on cultivation.
“Master, sir, if you truly wish to make her give up, I have an idea that might work.”
Huang Jian hesitated before speaking to Su Yi and Xi Wuqing.
“Go ahead, tell us.”
Xi Wuqing seemed to be more intrigued than Su Yi.
“Well, hehe… As the saying goes, letting go requires abandoning completely…”
Huang Jian chuckled and whispered something mysteriously to Su Yi and Xi Wuqing.
…
After some time, Feng Qier woke up slowly. Her eyelashes fluttered, and she opened her eyes to see Su Yi, Xi Wuqing, Huang Jian, and others before her. She quickly sat up and asked, “Did I just have another episode?”
“Yes, luckily you’re all safe.”
Su Yi nodded.
“I’m relieved you’re all okay. The elder said that during my episodes, I might hurt those around me.”
Feeling reassured that Su Yi and Xi Wuqing were fine, Feng Qier took a deep breath and then turned her gaze eastward. She spoke to Su Yi, “Let’s say our goodbyes now.”
“Where are you going?”
Su Yi asked.
“My people owe you, so it’s only right that you don’t sacrifice yourself for us again. But I’m different. I’m already near death. I intend to visit the Demon Emperor and hope he will spare my people.”
As Feng Qier finished speaking, she took a graceful step forward. She had already made up her mind to go alone and seek out the Demon Emperor.
“Oh…”
Su Yi sighed upon hearing this, and Huang Jian looked helpless.
“Little girl, if you go to the Demon Emperor, not only will he not spare you or your people, but since your people harmed my lord, do you think we will spare them? If they harm my lord, they will be wiped out, and their land will be razed!”
Huang Jian’s face darkened as he spoke coldly.
Feng Qier glanced at Huang Jian, then turned to look at Su Yi, shaking her head.
“I know you’re not like that. I trust you.”
“You’re mistaken. The people you speak of are not good. There’s no pity in wiping them out.”
Su Yi replied coldly. Feng Qier’s so-called people were far from decent.
“Um…”
Feeling the coldness in Su Yi’s eyes, Feng Qier shuddered. She could sense the genuine chill in his gaze. This young man was certainly not what he seemed at first. If he decided to act, he would do so swiftly and mercilessly.
“Golden Eagle, what level of cultivation does your Demon Emperor have? How many powerful demons are there in their lair?”
Xi Wuqing gently inquired from the severely injured Golden Gryphon, who was lying on the ground, gasping and bleeding heavily.
“Master, including me, there were originally eight of us in the Demonic Void Realm. The Yin-yang Dark Emperor has already reached the third grade of the Demonic Emperor Realm,”
Golden Gryphon answered.
“The third grade of the Demonic Emperor Realm, huh…”
Xi Wuqing smiled faintly and, knowing what needed to be done, looked at the uncertain-eyed Feng Qier. He said, “Little girl, would you be interested in making a deal with me?”
“Please, go ahead.”
Feng Qier was taken aback. She knew the person in front of her was a terrifying Yuan Emperor Realm expert. Compared to the elders of her clan, he was in an entirely different league. As she felt his gaze, her inner energy was inexplicably blocked, making her feel nervous and unable to meet his eyes.
“We can spare your clan members and even help you defeat the Yin-yang Dark Emperor, but in return, from this point forward, you must serve us as a servant. What do you think?”
Xi Wuqing said, looking intently at Feng Qier.
“Thank you, sir.”
Feng Qier’s eyes brightened with joy, but she also had some reservations. She said, “But I fear I don’t have much time left. The elders in my clan say that my life is nearing its end. If you can save my people, Feng Qier is willing to serve you as a servant, no matter the cost.”
“No problem. You can remain with us as long as you live.”
Xi Wuqing nodded without concern.
“Thank you so much, Feng Qier will repay your kindness however I can.”
Feng Qier was overwhelmed with joy and immediately knelt, kowtowing repeatedly in her excitement. The powerful warrior before her had agreed, giving her hope for her people.
Xi Wuqing observed Feng Qier as she kowtowed but made no move to stop her. He smiled faintly, and once she finished kowtowing nine times, he helped her up and said, “Alright, stand up now.”
Su Yi smiled faintly, understanding his older brother’s intent.
…
In a secluded place, peace had returned. This area was nestled within the vast mountain range, almost cut off from the outside world.
“If we calculate the time correctly, the young man and Feng Qier should have reached the Demon Emperor by now.”
“They should have arrived by now. Let’s hope the Demon Emperor is satisfied.”
