Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Chapter 536 - 196: Another Maid Added

Qiu Zhihe was very angry right now.

Her plan was to have Qin Gengyun absorb the Divine Phoenix Power and Phoenix Blood of the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, allowing Qin Gengyun to likely advance directly into the Nascent Soul Realm and perhaps even obtain the Divine Phoenix Power to make him stronger.

But what did Qin Gengyun do?

He actually spared the Celestial Phoenix Maiden and took her as a servant!

You already have Jian Yue as a servant, isn’t that enough?

At this moment, Qiu Zhihe’s gaze at Qin Gengyun was icy, her small face shrouded by frost. If there were no one else present, Qin Gengyun would have been on the ground wailing by now.

"Brr~~ so cold!"

Little Hammer shivered and instinctively moved away from Qiu Zhihe.

Qin Gengyun chuckled bitterly, quickly saying, "My dear, let me explain."

He quickly recounted the events that had transpired in the Divine Temple.

An incense stick of time ago.

In the Divine Temple, the two drops of Phoenix Blood within the Celestial Phoenix Maiden were absorbed by Qin Gengyun, causing her to immediately faint.

Zhu Lin was greatly alarmed and hurriedly pleaded with Qin Gengyun, "Esteemed Taoist friend, please show mercy. If the Celestial Phoenix Maiden loses the Phoenix Blood, she will immediately die!"

"Little Huang has never harmed anyone, I beg you not to kill her!"

"You are right, we deceived you, using the Celestial Phoenix Technique’s secret technique to absorb the essence of the destined person. The chances of success are only ten percent, but we can absolutely ensure your survival!"

"If you are dissatisfied, you may beat me, kill me, do anything to me! I am willing to exchange my life for hers!"

Zhu Lin knelt heavily to Qin Gengyun on both knees.

Qin Gengyun was somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected that absorbing the two drops of Phoenix Blood would lead to the Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s death.

He thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "I can try to return the Phoenix Blood to her, but using the secret technique to absorb my essence without considering the risk of me losing cultivation comes with a price."

Zhu Lin’s face was pale, lips clamped tight. Looking at the fallen Celestial Phoenix Maiden, she finally made up her mind:

"I can make a Blood Oath, if you spare Little Huang, the Celestial Phoenix Race will be at your disposal!"

Having said that, she slashed her wrist and drew a small blood oath array on the ground, solemnly making the vow.

"In that case, I will return the Phoenix Blood to her."

Qin Gengyun had already fully grasped the magic technique taught by his dear wife. With a thought, the two drops of Divine Phoenix Blood flew out, returning to the Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s body.

"Eh?"

Qin Gengyun was surprised to find that those two drops of Divine Phoenix Blood were actually wrapped in his spiritual power as they entered the Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s Spirit Field.

At the same time, the Divine Phoenix Power that Qin Gengyun had absorbed earlier slowly returned to the Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s body.

However, some of the Divine Phoenix Power had already completely integrated into Qin Gengyun’s Spirit Field, becoming his strength and could not be returned to the Celestial Phoenix Maiden.

Moments later, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s entire body emitted brilliant golden light, her body rising into the air.

Zhu Lin’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, "Little Huang broke through?"

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s body, which had initially lost its vitality, burst forth like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, breaking through the shackles of the Golden Core Realm and entering the true Nascent Soul Realm!

And that wasn’t all, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s body continued to transform, turning into a Golden-winged Phoenix!

Zhu Lin’s face was full of joy, "The Phoenix Blood carried the spiritual power of the destined person back to Little Huang’s body and activated the bloodline power of the Ancient Divine Phoenix!"

"So, this is the true destined one?"

The Phoenix suddenly let out a long cry, glared angrily at Qin Gengyun, and charged towards him!

Qin Gengyun was startled, "I just saved you and now you want to attack me? Stop right there!"

He instinctively shouted, and suddenly saw the imposing Phoenix’s body freeze and crash to the ground with a thud.

At this moment, Qin Gengyun also felt a faint connection between his Spirit Field and the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, as if a thread extended from his Spirit Field, binding to the Celestial Phoenix Maiden.

He thought once more and said to the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, "Why turn into a bird when you can be a person? Hurry and change back."

The Phoenix let out a sorrowful cry and actually transformed back into human form. The Celestial Phoenix Maiden appeared with disheveled hair, her clothes in disarray, her face full of anguish.

Qin Gengyun sighed, "If my dear wife sees you like this, she will surely misunderstand, quickly tidy yourself up."

"How dare you order me?!"

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden reproached, but despite her words, her body honestly started to fix her hair and clothes, soon restoring her appearance.

"How can this be?!"

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden froze in place, glaring at Qin Gengyun angrily, "What sort of Demon Technique have you used on me? Undo it now, or I’ll kill you!"

Zhu Lin hurried forward, placing her palm on the Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s dantian, her expression constantly changing before letting out a long sigh:

"Little Huang, the Phoenix Blood has been tainted with his spiritual power; it’s irreversible. Now you are one with him; if he dies, you will die too."

"With a single thought, he can control your actions, and the Phoenix Blood needs his spiritual power to be sustained. You must undergo his essence baptism every month, or the Phoenix Blood will dissipate, and you will still die."

"Little Huang, we have... failed."

Zhu Lin closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face.

"Impossible, impossible..." The Celestial Phoenix Maiden sat down in a daze.

At that moment, she too felt the changes within her body. Although she had entered the Nascent Soul Realm and could transform into a Fake Phoenix possessing two parts Divine Power,

her internal Phoenix Blood had been tainted by Qin Gengyun, leaving her bound to this man.

In this way, even if she succeeded in transforming into an Ancient Divine Phoenix, she would still be his plaything.

If this man harbored ill intentions, he could make her willingly offer her body with just a thought.

While she could only watch herself perform shameful and indecent acts, powerless to resist.

Faced with such torment, she would rather die!

The Phoenix Maiden’s eyes showed determination, as her hand transformed into a golden claw, reaching for her heart!

"Little Huang!"

Zhu Lin was shocked but too late to stop her.

However, the Phoenix Maiden’s actions stalled once more, coming to a halt.

She looked angrily at Qin Gengyun, her eyes red, "I can’t even die?!"

Qin Gengyun sneered, "Your sister endured humiliation, even sacrificing the entire Celestial Phoenix Mountain to save you and you seek death upon revival."

"What would your sister do if you ended your life?"

"Didn’t you say the Celestial Phoenix Mountain was coveted by the Celestial Fall Sect? If you die, your people might become mere sexual partners to the Celestial Fall Sect, their blood drained at will."

"Would you allow your kin to suffer such abuse?"

"As a leader of your race, your actions are truly childish!"

"Had I known, I would have taken the Phoenix Blood for myself! At least I would endeavor to ensure your people’s safety!"

Qin Gengyun’s words struck the Phoenix Maiden blow after blow, leaving her pale and stunned.

"Sister, Sister, What should I do?"

She sat down, defeated, as tears finally fell, Zhu Lin embracing her, eyes red as well:

"Little Huang, no matter what, you have entered the Nascent Soul Realm. As long as you’re alive, there’s hope."

"Sister, Sister... boo hoo hoo!"

...

"Stop talking!"

Below the Celestial Phoenix Mountain, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden interrupted Qin Gengyun, face red with shame and anger:

"You, why did you describe it in such detail?"

Qin Gengyun had the nerve to describe her crying in detail before such a crowd, causing the Celestial Phoenix Maiden immense shame and hatred as she glared at him.

Then she looked towards Qiu Zhihe at Qin Gengyun’s side.

As Qin Gengyun absorbed her Phoenix Blood, she felt a familiar presence within him.

Back then, when her Celestial Phoenix Technique was newly mastered, she confidently challenged Xia Qinglian at Cyan Lotus Mountain.

Unexpectedly, she lasted only thirty breaths before being easily defeated by Xia Qinglian.

She would never forget that humiliation, nor Xia Qinglian’s presence.

Within Qin Gengyun, she sensed that familiar, terrifying presence!

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden fixed her gaze on Qiu Zhihe, narrowing her eyes slightly.

Why does this man have Xia Qinglian’s presence?

Who exactly is this man’s dear wife?
