The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

Yun Misha looked at Yun Mengshang, confused.

Yun Mengshang nodded. ”This white light is truly a supreme treasure!” Just by briefly sensing the Jade Talisman that had entered her sea of consciousness, the sheer profundity of the immortal arts it contained shook her to the core.

Yun Misha’s eyes narrowed, but she didn’t disperse the Fox Fire. She stopped speaking aloud and switched to a voice transmission, ”Mengshang, since it’s a supreme treasure, why don’t we just take it? This Spiritual Demon Race member is only at the Golden Core Stage. If we kill him, we kill him. The Spirit Race wouldn’t dare to say a thing!”

When Chen Dong saw the killing intent in Yun Misha’s eyes, his heart sank. ’Wealth can stir a demon’s heart.’ If it were just the fifth-tier Spirit Plant, things would have been fine. For the sake of the other two Spirit Plants, they wouldn’t have gone back on their word. But with the Yuqing Immortal Technique now revealed, there was no guarantee they wouldn’t kill him to silence him.

Chen Dong immediately raised the jade box containing the Flame Cold Climbing Ivy and said coldly, ”Senior, I have a pretty good idea what you’re thinking. If you believe my treasure is worth more than this Flame Cold Climbing Ivy, then I have nothing more to say. If you try to kill me, I’ll destroy the Flame Cold Climbing Ivy!”

Chen Dong knew that no treasure could compare to the hope of saving their Second Elder. With this as leverage, saving his own life shouldn’t be a problem.

But the moment he finished speaking, the killing intent in Yun Misha’s eyes intensified. She sneered, ”Who do you think is faster? Me killing you, or you destroying the Spirit Plant!”

Chen Dong’s temper instantly flared. ’I came here to help them, and not only do they want to forcibly seize the Yuqing Immortal Technique, they’re even threatening to kill me!’

He immediately roared, ”In that case, your Fox Demon Race can just die! The Yuqing Immortal Technique can’t save the lives of your people!”

Demonic energy flared in Yun Misha’s hand as her long hair whipped about. ”What did you say? Say that again, and I’ll take your life this instant!”

Chen Dong sneered, looking haughtily at Yun Misha. ”I don’t just have the Flame Cold Climbing Ivy; I also have the Soul-Nurturing Puyang. What’s more, I know the whereabouts of the Xuan Yuan Zi Qi. If your Fox Demon Race wants to die, then go ahead and make your move! I guarantee that you might not be able to kill me, but you will surely be devoured by the Demon Race and other demon races!”

Beneath Chen Dong’s arrogant words, Liu Ling, from within the jade pendant on his chest, continuously sent him a voice transmission: ’The script! The script! This is not what I arranged! You’re acting it wrong! You’re acting it wrong!’

The hands of Yun Misha, a mighty Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator, were actually trembling uncontrollably. She couldn’t bring herself to unleash the technique gathering in her palm.

Finally, she closed her eyes, retracting her demonic energy and the Nine-Star Fox Fire. After a deep breath, she offered a slight smile. ”Brother Yao, I was wrong. Please don’t hold it against me.”

As she spoke, a mesmerizing charm filled her light purple eyes.

Chen Dong’s gaze went vacant, and a foolish grin crept onto his face. He shook his head. ”I don’t blame you, I don’t blame you!”

He then held out the Flame Cold Climbing Ivy.

”Mistress, here is the Spirit Plant you wanted!”

Seeing this, Yun Mengshang frowned and turned her head to the side.

Yun Misha’s smile grew even more bewitching. Taking the jade box, she said seductively, ”Didn’t you say you also have the Soul-Nurturing Puyang? Where is it?”

A ring on Chen Dong’s hand flashed, and another jade box appeared in his hand.

Yun Mengshang and Yun Misha were instantly overjoyed. ’He really has it!’

Just as she reached for the box, Chen Dong’s eyes suddenly cleared, a bright glint appearing within them. With a flick of his wrist, he retracted the jade box.

Then, planting his hands on his hips and pointing at Yun Misha, he snorted. ”Hmph! You vixen! How dare you try to charm me!”

Yun Mengshang and Yun Misha were stunned once again. ’The Charm Technique of a mighty Divinity Transformation Stage Demon Cultivator was broken by someone in the Golden Core Stage?’ It was simply inconceivable!

Yun Misha was a Fox Demon; the Charm Technique was one of her Lifebound Techniques, almost on par with Divine Techniques. It should be impossible for someone at the Golden Core Stage to break it!

However, Chen Dong wasn’t finished with his accusations. He continued haughtily, ”It was infuriating enough that the Yuqing Immortal Technique I worked so hard to get ran off with you, but for you to use such despicable methods... It’s a disgrace to my fa—”

Before he could finish, Chen Dong suddenly slapped both hands over his mouth.

Mu Qingzhu thought to herself, ’That was close! He almost blew our cover!’

He had been about to say it was ”a disgrace to my righteous sect,” but thankfully, she had reacted in time.

As for Chen Dong, he had been well and truly charmed. The Charm Technique of a Divinity Transformation Stage Fox Demon was not something he could currently break. The difference in their cultivation was simply too vast—a gap of two entire major Realms.

The one controlling Chen Dong’s body was, of course, Mu Qingzhu. And Mu Qingzhu, possessing the Dayan Divine Calculation and being female, was barely able to resist the Charm Technique.

For a moment, Yun Misha couldn’t figure out what this Demon Cultivator was trying to say. With even her Charm Technique having failed, she was out of better options. She had even secretly attempted to invade his divine sense, but this Demon Cultivator’s soul was so powerful it was nothing like someone at the Golden Core Stage. No wonder the Charm Technique had failed.

Moreover, with a soul that strong, even if she captured him, torture would probably be useless.

So she glanced at Yun Mengshang. They both knew they couldn’t kill this Demon Cultivator. Forceful methods were clearly useless, and controlling him was out of the question. Their only option was a softer approach.

”Brother Yao, I was truly wrong this time. Please, state your demands. As long as it is within my power, I will agree without a second thought. Spirit Stones, techniques—anything is on the table!”

Chen Dong stretched his wrists. ”First, cancel your Charm Technique. It’s making me feel awful.”

Though suspicious, Yun Misha complied. A flash of Divine Light appeared in her eyes, and the Charm Technique affecting Chen Dong was retracted.

Chen Dong blinked, and his own consciousness returned.

He cleared his throat. ”Give me back the Yuqing Immortal Technique!”

But Yun Mengshang shook her head. ”I can’t. It’s in my sea of consciousness, and I can’t control it.”
