39 More Trouble.

Upon hearing Yan Shun's words, Luo Xueying's father furrowed his brows. He noticed the pink-haired woman standing next to Yan Shun.

Their relationship suggested that if Yan Shun decided to act, she would take action.

This left him in a state of internal conflict. Yan Shun, a demonic cultivator, was considered forbidden, yet one of his wives was the Immortal Prison's Goddess, the current most powerful being in the universe.

Though he wasn't entirely convinced of her being the strongest, considering the formidable strength of the Sect Master from Yaochi Sacred Land.

They had never engaged in combat, leaving the question of who was the strongest unanswered.

Having confirmed the presence of a demonic cultivator, he expected the woman to appear shortly.

He just needed to buy some time.

Shifting his gaze to Luo Xueying, he questioned her directly, "What are you doing with this... Demon Cultivator?"

Luo Xueying's eyes narrowed, responding coldly, "Huh. Is that any of your business?"

She added, "For someone who didn't act as a father, you don't have the right to tell me what to do."

Her father frowned at her cold remarks. "Sigh... At least, you should let Xiao Qing... after all, I still raised you until a certain age!"

Luo Xueying's aura clashed with her father's, causing him to shiver.

"Y-you... You actually cultivated that technique?" His stoic expression turned into shock.

She placed her hand where her father stood, clenching her fist tightly.

"ARRGHHHHH!" Luo Xueying's father screamed in pain, blood pouring from his nose, ears, and mouth.

Elder Wang and Luo Qing were taken aback.

They hadn't expected Luo Xueying to be stronger than the Patriarch, especially using the family's heirloom technique.

Luo Qing, trembling with fear, reached for a talisman, ready to use it. Elder Wang, indebted to Luo Qing, was prepared to sacrifice himself if needed.

As Luo Xueying released her grip, her father slowly regained consciousness.

His clothes were tattered, soaked in blood, and his face pale, much different than when he arrived which was full of vigor.

"Dear, I feel a very powerful aura coming towards us." Nyx suddenly exclaimed, approaching Yan Shun.

She put her delicate hand on her shoulder and directly warned him.

"If anything happens, you should stay behind me... that woman seems to have a strong connection with the Heavenly Dao."

Hearing her words, Yan Shun frowned lightly.

'System can you evaluate the woman that is approaching us?'

[...No. Like Nyx, she's too strong... However, Nyx is indeed right, she really has a strong connection with the Heavenly Dao.]

[She should have a Primordial Physique or something like that, her aura is simply too familiar to primordial beings.]

RUMBLE!

Out of nowhere, the once serene white clouds transformed into a dark, ominous black.

Lightning crackled, fiercely striking the earth below.

From the heavens, a golden staircase materialized, and emerging from the foreboding clouds was an extraordinarily stunning woman.

This woman had generously endowed bosoms that harmoniously complemented her slender frame.

Her eyes, though narrowed, projected an otherworldly gaze, with a unique blue sclera and piercing red irises that seemed to peer into the one's soul.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her back, accentuated with strands of dark blue, lending a touch of mysterious elegance. 

Highlighting her silhouette was a slender waist that appeared almost ethereal. Her legs, a perfect combination of delicacy and plumpness, stretched gracefully.

'...She somehow... looks weird?' Yan Shun's eyes dilated as if he was seeing something wrong.

Noticing Yan Shun's look, Luo Xueying parted her lips and explained.

"There are rumors that from her early age which seems to be a very long time ago, Yaochi has been attacked with a Primordial Curse."

"This curse seems to give the host a strangely ugly appearance, but since Yaochi was too beautiful it ended like this."

"Also, the curse should disappear when someone truly loves Yaochi and isn't lusting after her body, wealth, or status."

"But, because the curse is also said to give other people a very bad illness that even the strongest cultivators can't resist, no one dares to actually fall in love with her."

"It's like they can't fall in love with her, even if she's one of the most gorgeous women in the universe."

'That's... some weird ass curse. She's extremely beautiful... why didn't someone really fall in love with her?'

'Isn't there something called; Love at first sight?' Yan Shun sighed inwardly.

But he understood what Luo Xueying meant by her words, when he looked at Yaochi, he really couldn't feel anything...

Maybe, lust or greed for her status, but nothing more than that.

It's a weird feeling...

'Well... isn't this just handmade for some kind of protagonist?' He sighed.

There's always this kind of situation...

A beautiful woman has a curse or a special physique that can kill their partner if they dual cultivate together or exchange fluids.

'Such a clichê...' He shook his head.

"Nyx."

"Yaochi."

Suddenly, Nyx stepped forward into the sky, coming face-to-face with Yaochi.

They exchanged cold gazes.

"Are you going to protect this ant?" Yaochi said casually, crossing her arms.

Nyx stood firm, and a smirk appeared on her face.

"Oh? Are you perhaps... jealous?" Nyx's smile widened.

"After all, even if we both were here since the primordial times, neither of us found love. But now... I actually found a husband~"

"You, jealous~?" she teased mischievously.

As if Nyx had struck a nerve, Yaochi clenched her fists, a vein popping on her forehead.

"It seems... that it is going to be until one of us dies!" A sword materialized in her hand.

"No wonder you don't get someone to fall in love with you; you're soooo grumpy." Nyx teased once more, causing her to get even more irritated.

Her aura pulsated, the reaction making the wind cut trees in half as she ground trembled. Nyx only rose her aura in experience, parrying the both of them.

However, Yaochi's gaze finally fell into Yan Shun's, she wanted to know what kind of man made Nyx fall in love with him. 

She looked down and saw Yan Shun, her lips parted wide as she looked at him.

"He's so... beautiful..." The words escaped her mouth, she was genuinely shocked, but she didn't fall in love with it or something like that.

He was still a Demon Cultivator that could cause the balance of the world to crumble.

Besides, if she wanted a husband, she wanted to have one that solely dedicated himself to her, and not some playboy with a love of wives.

.

SWING!

Suddenly, Nyx materialized before Yaochi and swung her sword directly at her head, which Yaochi evaded.

She looked forward and saw Nyx's eyes glowing with a blood-red color.

"W-what?" Yaochi exclaimed surprised.

Swing!

Clang!

BOOM!

They switched blows, but every time their sword met, Yaochi could feel that Nyx was increasing her strength and couldn't help but frown.

Their strikes were already causing an uproar in the Upper Realm, so if they used a technique they could literally destroy it.

So, they made an oath of never using any techniques and only using them if they truly needed to use them.

'What is this...?' Yaochi was gradually pushed back.

Nyx had blood-red eyes, something she didn't have before, and her strength was slowly increasing!

They were already equally matched, but now, Nyx was already stronger than her and she was being pushed back easily.

Her instincts were rocketing and immediately she turned her head and looked at Yan Shun.

...he also had blood-red eyes and had a faint smile on his face as he looked at their battle.

She instantly knew that it was Yan Shun had somehow was increasing her strength!

Which was true...

Yan Shun activated his Yandere Dao on Nyx, which really worked as he wanted to! Nyx's strength actually rose!

'Mhm... should I increase the intensity?' His lips curved into a wider smile.

'But... what is this bad feeling...?' He groaned inwardly.

He directly looked at Luo Qing and had a bad premonition in his heart.

'Fuck... He's going to do something!'

Instantly, Yan Shun rose the Yandere Dao on Nyx and transferred his thoughts to hers.

{Luo Qing is going to do something! I have a really bad hunch about it.}

As Nyx heard his words, she directly used all of his strength and swung her sword at Yaochi's head.

CLANG!

The sounds of her swords clashing reverberated through the grounds, even a few villages were shredded into pieces because of the intensity.

"Keuk!" Yaochi groaned in pain.

BOOM!

Since she was weaker than Nyx, she was directly thrown at the ground, blood splattering on the dirty ground.

"Cough! Cough!" She coughed out loud.

At that time, Nyx's gaze turned into Luo Qing's and he directly activated the talisman behind him.

And then, both Yan Shun and Luo Qing suddenly disappeared from their sight.

Nyx bit her lips in frustration, her blood-red eyes gradually turned into their original color.

"An Extreme-Domain Talisman..." She gritted her teeth!

This talisman could put two people in a domain, and on there they only could leave if they fought until death, or the host of the talisman wanted to leave.

THRUM!

Both Luo Xueying's and Qiuyue's aura rose at the same time. A deep hole appeared on the ground as their auras manifested.

They propelled their auras, covering the entire Upper Realm, but in the end, they couldn't find him...

"Shun'er..." Luo Xueying clutched her fists tight.

The thought of Yan Shun dying or having an injury on his delicate body was driving her crazy!

Thud!

"Tsk..." Nyx clicked her tongue as she knocked Luo Xueying down.

She knew that she would go crazy if something happened to Yan Shun.

But, Nyx herself, couldn't risk destroying the balance of the world.

That... would be a big problem...

So, until Nyx found the location of the Extreme Domain Talisman, they could only pray that Yan Shun survived...

Well, Nyx wasn't going so crazy...

Because she could easily revive him, the only problem was that Yan Shun was going to lose his ability to cultivate

So, he could only be a mortal with an extraordinary beauty...

'That wouldn't be so bad~~' She giglged inwardly.
