Several days later, under the care of several Saintesses from the Mystic Maiden Raksha Palace, led by Yi Chengying, Qin Gou’s physique recovered at an astonishing speed. He was also completely bewildered by the rules of the Mystic Maiden Palace. Normally, these Saintesses were respectful towards Ye Qishuang, but when it came down to it, they would “rebel” without hesitation. Even if Qin Gou shouted sternly, they still fearlessly pounced on him on the bed.
“So that’s how it is. Qishuang Wench has made many changes to the ‘Cloud and Rain Chapter’ from the Curse God Life-Taking Canon before imparting it to the disciples within the sect. Although the progress speed of her modified version is far inferior to the terrifying speed of the original, it successfully avoids causing irreparable fatal damage to the spiritual roots of the cauldron.”
Tangible spiritual power, visible to the naked eye, swirled around Qin Gou’s fingertips. It appeared simple but was infinitely powerful.
“Palace Lord, Gu Feiyan of the Seed Demon Sacred Cult requests an audience.”
“Who did you say?” For a moment, Qin Gou wondered if he had misheard.
“Reporting to the Palace Lord, it is the Young Sect Master of the Seed Demon Sacred Cult, Gu Feiyan, who has come to see you. She is waiting outside.”
Qin Gou’s face turned green. He did miss Xiao Yan quite a bit, but he absolutely did not want to meet her in this manner.
“Alright, let her in.”
A familiar graceful figure appeared before him. Qin Gou immediately dismissed all unnecessary personnel.
A dress as black as ink accentuated her captivating and gentle figure, making her stand tall and elegant. Her cold and beautiful face now possessed a touch of intellectual charm compared to before, but overall, it hadn’t changed much and was still as radiant and moving.
After all, not everyone was as extraordinary as Celestial Master, who could do what ordinary people could not, and undergo earth-shattering changes in such a short period, even changing their gender.
Gu Feiyan calmly cupped her fists and said, “Gu Feiyan, daughter of Gu Jinghong, greets Palace Lord Ye.”
The words “Palace Lord Ye” sent a shiver through Qin Gou. His heart was filled with mixed emotions as he looked at Gu Feiyan with great complexity.
The moon on the sea is the moon in the sky; the person before me is the one in my heart.
He had many things to say, even wanting to embrace the young girl before him, but at this moment, he was Palace Lord Ye!
Seeing that the ‘Ancestor Ye’ before her was hesitant to speak, Gu Feiyan was filled with confusion. She then noticed the intense gaze and overflowing affection directed at her without any reservation, which instantly reminded Gu Feiyan of Qiu Qianyue, the plague god in white clothes with peculiar taste, whom she had encountered on the road to the Forget Self Secret Realm with Xiao Qin…
Could it be that this legendary Ancestor Ye was also of the same kind as that Qiu Qianyue?
For a moment, Miss Gu felt as if she had entered a wolf’s den, a chill running down her spine, making her hair stand on end. She already had a Dao Companion!
“Is Palace Lord Ye feeling unwell?” Gu Feiyan asked cautiously and vigilantly.
Qin Gou, unaware, continued to stare intently into Gu Feiyan’s eyes and said casually, “Yes… You might not know, but this Palace has just recovered from a serious illness.”
“I see, it was Feiyan who was too hasty and disturbed the Palace Lord.” Gu Feiyan felt extremely uncomfortable and forced a smile, “Since that is the case, Feiyan will take her leave for now and return another day for a formal audience with the Palace Lord!”
Leaving so soon? A hint of disappointment and reluctance flickered in Qin Gou’s eyes, startling the “steel straight girl” Gu Feiyan, who was determined not to engage in same-sex relationships.
However, on second thought, even if Xiao Yan didn’t leave, Qin Gou in his current state didn’t know what to say to her. He simply nodded in agreement.
Gu Feiyan let out a sigh of relief, as if she had escaped from a dangerous situation. She respectfully cupped her fists and took two steps, but then cautiously requested, “Palace Lord, my Seed Demon Sacred Cult’s top disciple, Qin Yue, is currently cultivating in your esteemed sect. As the Young Sect Master, I wish to meet him to ensure he does not slacken in his cultivation. Could the Palace Lord tell me where he is now?”
Upon hearing this, Qin Gou’s face darkened, and he said helplessly, “I advise you to wait a few more days before meeting him.”
“Why is that? Could it be that Qin Yue has suffered some serious injury?” A light pink radiance flashed across Gu Feiyan’s clear and bright beautiful eyes, revealing an undeniable concern and intense killing intent.
“He is not injured, merely in a rather peculiar state and has become a little strange. That is why this Palace advised you not to meet him rashly,” Qin Gou said with extreme annoyance.
Gu Feiyan’s dark eyebrows furrowed slightly, “Then, as the Sect Master, I should meet him as soon as possible.”
Qin Gou hardened his heart and said sternly, “This Palace does not permit you to go.”
“I must go,” Gu Feiyan said without any hesitation, neither subservient nor arrogant.
Qin Gou’s expression startled. He was not the good-tempered Xiao Qin at this moment, but the fearsome and mighty master of the Mystic Maiden Raksha Palace. Even Gu Jinghong would not dare to defy his will, yet Xiao Yan was being so stubborn simply out of concern for his safety, openly challenging a generation’s Ancestor Ye. What more could he say? If he continued, he would almost lose control and passionately kiss her.
“Fine, then you may go. The female disciples outside the hall will guide you. Say it is this Palace’s order.”
“Feiyan is willing to accept punishment, but… Huh? Palace Lord Ye, you agreed?” Gu Feiyan did not expect the ‘Ancestor Ye’, rumored to have countless souls beneath his feet and to devour people without spitting out the bones, to suddenly become so agreeable. She was overjoyed, “Thank you, Palace Lord Ye.”
After walking a few steps, Gu Feiyan stopped again, turned around, and said somewhat embarrassed, “Thank you for your kindness, Palace Lord Ye, but Feiyan already has someone in her heart and is not fond of such matters. I have nothing to repay you with, except to promise that the Seed Demon Sacred Cult will never leave the Purple Xuan Alliance and will serve you with all its might, only to die for you!”
“Good, good, good. With your words, this Palace is at ease.” Qin Gou smiled kindly. What nonsense was this girl talking about… If he understood a single word, he would be a grandson.
At the same time, inside Qin Yue’s cave dwelling.
Ye Qishuang looked at a chair cushion with utter astonishment. Judging by its form, it was clearly a woman’s intimate garment before becoming a cushion. And why were its style and pattern exactly the same as the intimate garment that had mysteriously disappeared from her body in her sleep not long ago?
At the time, Ye Qishuang was furious and searched the Mystic Maiden Raksha Palace extensively, but still could not find any trace of the mysterious flower thief. Now it seemed that this person was so brazen that he dared to hide within the Mystic Maiden Palace and even deliberately leave the stolen goods here, attempting to frame and tarnish her master’s reputation!
This is truly unforgivable! If he fell into Qishuang’s hands, he would surely be torn to shreds.
