Chapter 493: What to do when You Gradually Lose Interest in Women?
Qi Huang felt that the matter was very strange, but she was here to find Yaoyao and wasn’t interested in dwelling on it. However, surveillance still had to continue, as Ye Donglai was the core of the Donglai Sect.
Qi Huang didn’t know when she would get results, so she took Mimi to a nearby town to stay. To avoid unnecessary trouble, she wore a veil and a forehead pendant beforehand.
As soon as Qi Huang entered the guest room, she discovered a brothel diagonally opposite, which was very noisy.
Qi Huang pushed open the window and looked out. She saw that the brothel windows were filled with scantily clad prostitutes, all coquettishly seducing men on the street.
“Hey, little sister, what are you looking at? Curious? Come on if you’re curious! Anyway, our brothel still needs people.”
Just then, a prostitute noticed Qi Huang and called out to tease her.
“Haha, I can tell that little girl is a virgin. If she joins your brothel, I’ll be the first to patronize her.”
“Are you stupid! Didn’t you see she’s wearing a veil? Maybe she’s an ugly monster!”
“Yes, she probably just can’t find a man, so she’s so curious about male-female matters!”
“With her figure, I’d accept even an ugly monster, anyway, it’s all the same with the lights off.”
…
The men watching the spectacle at the entrance of the brothel teased.
Qi Huang showed a trace of disgust on her face, then closed the window.
“Sister Qi Huang, what is that place?”
Mimi, who was beside her, asked timidly.
“Children shouldn’t ask, and shouldn’t look!”
Qi Huang warned her, then crushed a soundproofing talisman, and the room finally became quiet.
Qi Huang sat at the table, silent, her expression a little gloomy.
“Sister, don’t be angry, okay? Do you want Mimi to teach them a lesson!”
Mimi asked concernedly from the side.
“No need, sister… I’m not angry at them, but at myself.”
Qi Huang bit her lip slightly.
“Why are you angry at yourself, sister?”
Mimi asked doubtfully.
“I… it’s nothing!”
Qi Huang stopped short of saying anything more. In fact, she was angry at herself because when she saw the group of gaudy prostitutes just now, her first reaction was disgust, not lust. This was clearly inconsistent with male psychological characteristics.
Qi Huang was no fool. She knew this was the result of her spirit being continuously eroded by feminization. If she let it continue, then sooner or later, her sexual orientation would completely change.
‘If I completely lose interest in women, then… will I still be me?’
Qi Huang asked herself, and her head began to ache again.
Qi Huang forcibly dispelled the thought, but boundless fear rose from the bottom of her heart. She really wanted to take some sleeping pills and sleep until the end of time, to find a way to stop the feminization. But Yaoyao’s situation was critical now, and she couldn’t be so selfish, so this matter had to be postponed.
“I hope I’m still interested in women before I find Yaoyao!”
Qi Huang prayed silently, and Cheng Hong Ling’s pretty face inexplicably appeared in her mind.
Time flew by, but Qi Huang didn’t find any clues for a long time because Ye Donglai spent most of his time meditating and cultivating, aside from occasionally sipping tea and admiring flowers. He didn’t even step out of his room.
Qi Huang became increasingly anxious. If Mimi hadn’t been able to sense that Yaoyao was still alive, she would have already forced her way in.
On the fourth day, the Donglai Sect’s team participating in the Evergreen Convention in Yongning Prefecture finally returned.
Qi Huang used the Recording Mirror to investigate. She discovered that Ye Donglai, who had participated in the Evergreen Convention, was among them. At this moment, he had removed the protective headband from his forehead, revealing the clone’s mark.
“So that’s how it is!”
Qi Huang finally realized that the one who participated in the Evergreen Convention was just a clone of Ye Donglai.
‘If that’s the case, why did he spread the word that he was personally leading the team to participate in the Evergreen Convention? And why did he specifically have his clone cover the mark on his forehead?’
These two questions then surfaced in Qi Huang’s mind.
‘Could it be that he knew Yaoyao was coming? So he deliberately set a trap?’
Qi Huang was startled for a moment, but she was also uncertain. If that were the case, then the other party would be too terrifying.
Not long after, Ye Donglai recalled his clone and immediately summoned his personal disciple, Cheng Kang, to meet him.
“How is it? Are your injuries better?”
Ye Donglai asked with concern.
“Much better! Thank you, Master, for your concern! It’s just that this disciple failed to retain the position of the West Radiance Dynasty’s top Immortal Seed, which has disappointed you.”
Cheng Kang replied respectfully. After this setback, his edge had clearly been smoothed.
“It’s alright. With the monsters from the Immortal Families coming, I didn’t expect you to keep the West Radiance Dynasty’s top Immortal Seed. Actually, suffering a setback at the Evergreen Convention is also a good thing. You can identify your shortcomings and make amends in the future. It’s better than discovering your shortcomings during a life-and-death battle.”
Ye Donglai said generously. Seeing his disciple being so respectful, a smile of satisfaction appeared on his face.
“I understand the reasoning. I’m convinced that I lost to that monstrous disciple from the Lü Family. I just can’t quite understand how Cheng Hong Ling’s clone could be so strong. Didn’t you say that the path of cultivation is long and arduous? And you also said that bloodline is respected in the Cultivation World, so how could a clone of a low-bloodline person be so powerful?”
Cheng Kang asked distressedly.
“I can’t say for sure, Master. I guess she might possess a Magic Treasure that enhances Spiritual Sense, or perhaps she has mastered a cultivation technique specifically for cultivating Spiritual Sense?”
Ye Donglai guessed.
“But if such a Magic Treasure or cultivation technique truly existed, it would have been seized by powerful cultivation sects long ago. How could it have fallen into the hands of a small sect like the HongHua Sect?”
Cheng Kang raised his objection.
“It’s hard to say. After all, such a thing has never happened before.”
Ye Donglai shook his head.
“Master, have you ever thought that if such a Magic Treasure or cultivation technique could make a person with low bloodline so powerful in two or three years, then what’s the point of our cultivation? If we obtain it, won’t the Donglai Sect be able to dominate the entire Cultivation World?”
Cheng Kang reminded him.
“Yes, that’s what I’m thinking too, so I will send people to investigate the HongHua Sect as soon as possible.”
Ye Donglai nodded in agreement.
“That would be best. After this Evergreen Convention, many people will probably set their sights on such Magic Treasures or cultivation techniques. We must be quick and must not let anyone get there first!”
Cheng Kang suggested.
Hearing this, Qi Huang showed a thoughtful expression. The other party had reminded her, and she must be vigilant in the future.
“Master, didn’t you say you caught the cat thief??”
Just then, Cheng Kang suddenly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Qi Huang straightened up instantly, her face showing surprise and joy. Mimi also quickly leaned her little face closer.
“Yes.”
Ye Donglai answered casually.
“Master is indeed wise. By pretending to leave, the Empty City Stratagem actually attracted that little thief.”
Cheng Kang flattered him.
‘I didn’t expect this to be Ye Donglai’s trap.’
Qi Huang was secretly alarmed.
“Where is that little thief now?”
“I’ve imprisoned her!”
“Such a small thief should just be killed. Why did you imprison her?”
…
“Have you considered a problem? Where did she hide the Nine Nether Demonic Cats she stole from various Immortal Sects? Once we can obtain these Nine Nether Demonic Cats, the Donglai Sect will never lack Cat’s Eye Tears again!”
Ye Donglai raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
“Yes, Master is indeed wise!”
Cheng Kang suddenly realized and then asked, “Has she opened her mouth yet?”
“Not yet. That little thief is very tight-lipped. I’ve used all sorts of torture, but she hasn’t revealed a single word!”
Ye Donglai shook his head helplessly.
“Is that little thief male or female? If it’s a female, it shouldn’t be difficult to make her talk. Leave it to this disciple.”
Cheng Kang’s face showed a wicked smile.
“I know what you’re thinking, but unfortunately, that little thief is just a female Nine Nether Demonic Cat’s resentful spirit. Her body is entirely condensed from Yin Energy. Your methods targeting women will be useless against her.”
Ye Donglai chuckled teasingly.
“Cat Spirit? No wonder she was stealing Nine Nether Demonic Cats everywhere, she was trying to save her own kind?”
Cheng Kang shook his head in disappointment, but then said, “Where did you imprison her? I want to see her.”
“Here!”
Ye Donglai stretched out his left hand and pointed at the Storage Ring he was wearing on his middle finger.
