Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Qi Da and the rest said that Xin Yu has returned to the Fallen Devil Island. If that's the case, she most probably returned to the Celestial Devil Lodge.
"Sir Qin, please follow me." A lady spoke in a gentle voice and led the way. Qin Wentian followed after her, entering the lodge and when all the ladies here stared at his back, sighs appeared in their hearts. In the past, Xin Yu already had a very high opinion of this young man despite just meeting him once, giving him preferential treatment which Ba Xiao didn't even have. The ladies here back then couldn't help feeling puzzled as to why Xin Yu was acting that way.
However, time ultimately proved how accurate Xin Yu's judgement was. Ba Xiao of the Devil Rankings wasn't even worthy enough to be mentioned with this young man in the same breath.
Inside the lodge, at a place with elegant scenery, the lodge lord Mo Ji sat with her back facing a lake. When Qin Wentian came over, she stood up and smiled, "I long expected Sir Qin to come back here, it's just that I didn't expect you would come here so quickly."
Qin Wentian didn't look at the lodge lord, his eyes were staring at the woman serving tea. This woman had a certain charm and grace, but her alluring factor somehow seemed lesser than the past.
She, was none other than Xin Yu.
"Sir Qin, please enjoy a cup of tea." Xin Yu passed a tea cup to Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian stared at the smiles in her eyes, there was actually no fluctuations within, she was completely calm.
"Sir Qin, please feel free to take a seat and enjoy the tea." The lodge lord couldn't help but speak when she saw Qin Wentian in a daze.
Qin Wentian nodded lightly, he sat down and took the cup of tea offered. After that, Xin Yu returned to the side of the lodge lord.
"The aura of your Mercury Lady Devil Art has dissipated." Qin Wentian inclined his head and spoke to Xin Yu.
Xin Yu smiled but didn't say anything. She no longer projected that kind of mesmerizing factor which would draw men to her but she was still beautiful.
"Xin Yu, are you willing to leave with me?" Qin Wentian asked.
Xin Yu continued smiling. She lowered her body and poured tea for the lodge lord as she replied, "Xin Yu plans to wait upon the lodge lord from now on."
"Lodge lord." Qin Wentian turned to Mo Ji. She was an extremely charming woman, if she activated her Mercury Lady Devil Art, Qin Wentian might not be able to resist it.
"If Xin Yu left with Sir Qin, what do you plan for her to do?" Mo Ji smiled, her words causing Qin Wentian's gaze to freeze.
"I will treat her well." Qin Wentian replied.
Mo Ji shook her head, "Sir Qin, you are only doing so because of the guilt you feel in your heart. You feel like you owe her something, if Xin Yu really left with you, there's no way both of you would end up in happiness. It's better for her to stay by my side where I can take care of her."
Qin Wentian was speechless, he knew that Mo Ji spoke the truth. If he brought Xin Yu away, although he wouldn't mistreat her, but what would be the relationship between the two of them?
"Sir Qin, the lodge lord really treats me very well, you can set your heart at ease. Also, there's no need for Sir Qin to feel guilty, this is originally Xin Yu's destiny. If I didn't lose it to Sir Qin, it would eventually be lost to some other man." Xin Yu smiled. Qin Wentian actually didn't know how to reply when he heard her words.
Clearly, she spoke so intentionally.
"Xin Yu, do you really not want to go with me?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Xin Yu is already used to life in the Celestial Devil Lodge. If I follow Sir Qin alone back to the immortal realms, I wouldn't be used to that. Could it be that Sir Qin can be my side at every moment?" Xin Yu shook her head and smiled. Qin Wentian silently lifted his cup of tea and drank a mouthful before placing the cup back down.
He stood up and walked to the side of Xin Yu, holding her hands. Xin Yu inclined her head, staring at him with a smile.
"Seems like you have already decided in your heart and I won't be able to sway your decision. However, if you change your mind, you can let the lodge lord know so and ask her to bring you to the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect in the immortal realms." Qin Wentian spoke in a light voice before he gave Xin Yu a hug, releasing her an instant later. He then turned to Mo Ji, "If Xin Yu really wishes to go, I really hope you will be able to agree to it. If I Qin encounters the lodge lord and Xin Yu in the immortal realms, I will definitely give you a huge gift."
"I will remember Sir Qin's words." Mo Ji laughed and nodded.
"Alright, farewell." Qin Wentian spoke. After that, he stroked Xin Yu's face lightly and turned, departing the area.
After Qin Wentian left, the other ladies all went out as well, leaving behind only Xin Yu and Mo Ji.
Xin Yu's aura instantly turned dispirited as her entire person seemed much weaker. Her body fell down softly and without strength, while Mo Ji caught hold of her. Mo Ji spoke in a light voice, "Why are you doing this? For him, you are actually willing to pay such a huge price."
"Lodge lord, isn't this the destiny of us sisters?" There were tears in Xin Yu's eyes, but her smile didn't falter in the slightest.
"It's our destiny alright, however, all your sisters wish to fight for a better future, despite this being their fate. As for you, a good future could be right before your eyes yet you gave it all up, for the sake of a young man who wouldn't reciprocate your feelings." Mo Ji sighed.
"Us sisters of the Celestial Devil Lodge always speaks of free will, lodge lord you won't be able to force us either. All we want to do is to find a man worthy of our love and I believed that in the future, I would never find another man like Sir Qin." Xin Yu spoke in a light voice. "As for the future, Sir Qin only feels guilty towards me. Could it be that the lodge lord feels that with my current state and identity, I will always be able to stay by his side? One of his wives is a lover from his childhood, his fiancee is a princess of a great immortal empire, a disciple of a peak immortal emperor, and they had a history where they protected each other for many years. As for me, what do I count for? If I insist on following Sir Qin, I wouldn't have just tarnished his reputation, I would also be the target of gossip and hurtful remarks by many people."
"Given his identity and status, if he brought you back to the immortal realms he would naturally have way to make you recover. Could it be that you only wish to consider for him and not for yourself?" Mo Ji couldn't understand her somewhat. Why would someone like Xin Yu appear in their Celestial Devil Lodge.
Xin Yu laughed, staring into the horizons as she continued speaking in a low voice, "Lodge lord, I've seen for myself how glorious he looks on the battlefield. At that time, he was only at the seventh-level and he fought equally against Huang Shatian. I've even witnessed him in his injured state, obliterating three great devil kings! Right now, I've personally seen him bringing the Vast Sky Devil Emperor and his army over here, killing the Old Xia Devil King and he came to the Celestial Devil Lodge to bring me away. All this, is already enough. One day, he would definitely sit on the throne of the highest peaks, ruling everyone down below. At that time, the people of the world would all envy and admire the women beside him, but I know that I am not qualified to be one of those women."
Mo Ji stared at the smile on Xin Yu's face. Hearing her gentle voice, her own heart trembled violently for a moment. It was very rare for her to be stunned by the words of a junior but right now, her heart was trembling because of what she heard.
Even for her, she had never thought of things so far away.
One day, he would definitely sit on the throne of the highest peaks, and everyone in the world would envy and admire the women around him. However, Xin Yu felt that she wasn't worthy enough to be one of those women, and was willing to give up this chance to be stared at in adoration by all!
"If that day truly comes, would he still remember a lowly female from the Celestial Devil Lodge who gave up her everything for him during his path of growth?" Mo Ji lightly replied.
"At that time, that is no longer important." Xin Yu smiled. After that, she closed her eyes as tears begin to flow down her face.
Imperfection, lacking of something… Wasn't that also a kind of beauty..?
...
Qin Wentian respected Xin Yu's choice. He also understood that if Xin Yu was to follow him, she might not be able to get the happiness she wanted.
Right now on the Fallen Devil Island, two hegemons appeared. The devil kings of both the devil emperors would have some occasional conflicts. Although there were no deaths, injuries were inevitable. The two devil emperors after that battle, seemed to treat each other as non-existent beings. They ignored each other, neither interfering, allowing their subordinates to clash as they pleased.
Qin Wentian had been staying on the Fallen Devil Island to wait for news. After several months, the people of the Royal Devil Sect did encountered Huang Shatian and his allies. They naturally decisively attacked but they still failed to kill Huang Shatian in the end, only slaying two people beside him. As for the Royal Devil Sect, they also lost a devil king expert. Truth has been proven that that Huang Shatian's supreme treasure was terrifying to a certain extreme, being capable of completely fusing with Huang Shatian's cultivation art and innate technique.
That supreme treasure was like a part of him, completely merged. Once it erupted forth, the might it unleashed could shake the heavens and earth.
Other than this, Huang Shatian still possessed many fleeing methods, successfully escaping from danger.
Before he fled, Huang Shatian also told the people of the Royal Devil Sect that if he found any experts belonging to Qin Wentian's side, he would kill them for sure.
Qin Wentian who was on the Fallen Devil Island could only sigh. He knew it was impossible to gain a complete victory in this adjudication battle. He could only do his best and minimize the casualties on his side.
Several months passed by again and Qin Wentian met with two comrades on his side. These allies were found by the subordinates of the Vast Sky Devil Emperor. With regards to this, the Fallen Devil Emperor didn't say anything, choosing to close one eye, allowing the Vast Sky Devil Emperor to do as he pleased in the Fallen Devil Region.
In the blink of an eye, it has already been a year since Qin Wentian entered the Myriad Devil Islands.
Qin Wentian spent his time in cultivation on the Fallen Devil Island. With the Vast Sky Devil Emperor supporting him, he could rest his heart at ease as he did his best to improve his cultivation. As for why he stayed here, it was naturally because he wanted to search for more of his allies.
Today, a group of experts entered the Fallen Devil Island.
These experts were all mounted on a dragon of darkness, soaring through the clouds, exuding majesticness. Occasionally, dragon roars would shake the sky, causing countless demonic beasts below to prostrate themselves in fear. Some experts inclined their heads and stared upwards, only to feel their hearts shuddering.
"Dragon, devil dragon of darkness." Down below, huge waves rose in the hearts of numerous people, as they stared with trepidation and shock at the dragons.
There were actually people using darkness dragon as a mount. On the Myriad Devil Islands, darkness dragons were considered descendants of a demon god, their statuses were lofty and unsurpassed. For those who could mount them, they were definitely from emperor-ranked powers.
"Who is that man?" Near the head of the dragon, a figure could be seen sitting on a dragon seat. This man was clad in luxurious robes and he was incredibly handsome. The insignia on his robes undoubtedly showcased his illustrious status.
The other experts in the surroundings all started before they bowed to the young man as looks of incomparable respect appeared on their faces.
After that, there were even some people who knelt on the ground, kowtowing to him. They only dared to lift their heads after the sounds of the dragon roars faded away.
They knew that this man, was from the legendary Devil Mountain!
