Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 342 - 1: Return to Xingluo Town

"We’re about to enter the Fallen Immortal Forest. Everyone check your items again: two Clear Wind Powders and two Blood Coagulation Pills per person, and make sure all your magical artifacts are packed!"

At the border between the Eastern Cultivator region and the Northern Wilderness, in front of a dense and mysterious forest.

Beside it stood a massive stone stele with the words "Fallen Immortal Forest" inscribed on it.

This was the buffer zone for those traveling from Eastern Cultivator lands to the Northern Wilderness; entering the Fallen Immortal Forest also meant stepping into the perilous and opportunity-filled Northern Wilderness.

Next to the stone stele, numerous cultivators came and went. The leader of a treasure hunting team was loudly instructing the cultivators. Many of them were venturing into the Northern Wilderness for the first time.

They all loudly responded to their leader, yet they couldn’t hide the tension on their faces.

Among them was a handsome young man, nervously double-checking his bag’s contents. Beside him, a burly man laughed heartily and patted his shoulder:

"Li Chen, weren’t you boasting yesterday about finding Divinity Transformation Spirit Liquid in the Northern Wilderness and offering it to Fairy Xiyue of the Zhenyang Sect? Why so cowardly now?"

The handsome man quickly replied, "You, you mustn’t talk nonsense, that was the drunken rambling of last night, not to be taken seriously."

Someone nearby laughed, "Why won’t you admit to admiring Ye Xiyue? Which of us doesn’t wish to get closer to Fairy Xiyue?"

"Exactly, I even dreamed of Fairy Xiyue smiling at me last night, her appearance, her figure, tsk tsk tsk!"

"Wang Hao, you only dare talk big here. If Fairy Xiyue stood in front of you, you’d probably kneel on the spot!"

"Nonsense, if Ye Xiyue really stood before me, I’d make her kneel and serve me well, haha!"

The lower-tier cultivators in the Northern Wilderness were generally crude, and someone daring to speak disrespectfully of a world-famous fairy excited them, leading to raucous laughter.

At that moment, two men and five women emerged from the Fallen Immortal Forest, followed by dozens of children.

The bustling entrance to the Fallen Immortal Forest suddenly fell silent.

Everyone fixated on one woman from the group.

She wore a Moon White Fairy Skirt, her long black hair cascading down her slender waist, her face cold and indescribably beautiful, her presence like that of a Nine Heavens Fairy.

"Ye, Ye Xiyue?"

Someone swallowed, their voice trembling, and only then did the surrounding exclamations erupt:

"Fairy Xiyue, it really is Fairy Xiyue!"

"Indeed, an otherworldly beauty!"

"Why is Fairy Xiyue here?"

"Are those beside her disciples of the Zhenyang Sect?"

Ye Xiyue remained expressionless, cold as frost amid countless amazed gazes, her figure flashing in front of the male cultivator who had spoken disrespectfully of her.

"Fairy Xiyue, I misspoke earlier, please forgive me!"

The man’s face turned ashen, and he hurriedly begged for mercy. Ye Xiyue raised her hand slightly, and he collapsed to the ground, wailing miserably.

The treasure hunting team was stunned, none daring to assist him.

Ye Xiyue coldly said, "For your reckless words, you’ll suffer for three two-hour periods. If it happens again, I will not forgive!"

"Ah! Yes, yes, thank you, Fairy Xiyue, for your mercy... ah!!"

The man screamed miserably, yet he still managed to kneel and thank Ye Xiyue.

Without looking at him, Ye Xiyue moved forward, with the two men and five women leading the children behind her.

After Ye Xiyue and her group had left, the treasure hunting team finally dared to help the still-screaming man to his feet.

"Who’d have thought Fairy Xiyue would come to the Northern Wilderness!"

"I guess she’s here to seek out remnants of the Demon Sect."

"The Demon Sect’s relic appeared in the Northern Wilderness last time, killing Fairy Xiyue’s master. She’s probably here for revenge."

"The people around Fairy Xiyue look quite plain. Are they new Inner Sect disciples from the Zhenyang Sect?"

"She truly is a fairy of our time. Her figure and aura can only be admired from afar!"

"Shh, silence!"

Countless male cultivators couldn’t help but follow the departing image of the white-robed fairy with eyes full of admiration.

Half a two-hour period later.

Xingluo Town.

The same admiration felt by the male cultivators in front of the Fallen Immortal Forest appeared in the eyes of the townspeople who had come to welcome her.

Luo Wenzhi, refined and handsome, now the Guardian of Xingluo Town, led the townspeople in respectfully greeting Ye Xiyue at the town’s entrance:

"We didn’t know Fairy Xiyue was leaving the Northern Wilderness today. We were slow to welcome you, please forgive us."

Ye Xiyue acknowledged with a faint "Mm," her demeanor cool.

The people didn’t mind, believing that a fairy should naturally be like this. Luo Wenzhi glanced behind Ye Xiyue and curiously asked:

"The day Fairy Xiyue left with Fairy Fang to find Taoist Friend Qin and Taoist Friend Qiu, did you find them?"

Ye Xiyue shook her head, and Luo Wenzhi sighed with mild disappointment, then turned to the two men and four women behind her:

"Are these Taoists also disciples of the Zhenyang Sect?"

A square-faced, average-looking man stepped forward, bowing to Luo Wenzhi:

"I am He Zhiqiu, born to a merchant family, a mere Loose Cultivator."

He gestured to a round-faced girl beside him: "This is my maid, named Wu’Er."

The round-faced girl appeared to be only sixteen or seventeen, her features quite ordinary, barely considered delicate, seeming shy as she hid behind He Zhiqiu, her cheeks slightly red, bowing.

A woman next to He Zhiqiu stepped forward to bow to Luo Wenzhi and others:

"I am He Su, his sister. Greetings, Guardian Luo."

This woman named He Su had a lively oval face, but her features were somewhat plain. Evidently, she was more outgoing than the maid Wu’Er, greeting everyone boldly.

Next to He Su were two more women, equally ordinary in appearance, each stepping forward to bow.

Finally, another man stepped forward, and Luo Wenzhi showed a touch of surprise. Several single female cultivators of Xingluo Town also displayed admiration.

This man, tall and handsome with a touch of heroism, commanded admiration simply by standing; alongside Ye Xiyue, they seemed a perfect pair.

"And this Taoist is?"

Luo Wenzhi asked curiously.

The man bowed: "I am Lan Yin. While training in the Northern Wilderness, I encountered Taoist Friend He and his group and decided to accompany them. Later, we met Fairy Xiyue, who thought our aptitudes promising and wished to take us to Xiyue Peak for training."

"So it’s Taoist Friend Lan! Truly outstanding, and Fairy Xiyue certainly has a discerning eye!"

Hearing that these individuals were chosen by Ye Xiyue, Luo Wenzhi treated them with increased respect, recognizing them as future disciples of the Zhenyang Sect.

The group was then taken to the largest inn in Xingluo Town by Luo Wenzhi. After a feast, as night fell, Luo Wenzhi and the others finally took their leave.

Many who had accompanied them couldn’t help but look back as they left the inn, seemingly unable to forget Fairy Xiyue’s Nine Heavens Profound Lady-like presence.

Once the people of Xingluo Town had gone far, inside the inn.

The unparalleled Fairy Xiyue was currently on the floor, licking her lips provocatively, and crawling toward He Zhiqiu:

"Master, did I perform well? Please reward your humble servant well!"
