Chapter 51: Su Su Becomes a Disciple and Makes a Deal with the Devil!
Ugh!
Hearing this, black lines covered Ning Ye's forehead. A helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he said, "Senior, you must be joking!"
In truth, he did not dislike Cang Yue; he simply felt it was inappropriate, and not very hygienic.
Heh!
Cang Yue heard this and let out a cold laugh. After carefully sensing the power of Ning Ye she had just absorbed into her body, she parted her red lips and said meaningfully, "Little fellow!"
"The Bloodline power you possess seems to be extraordinary!"
Ning Ye shook his head with a smile. He did not think Cang Yue could see through his Bloodline, so he casually replied with three words: "It's alright!"
Hmph!
Cang Yue snorted coldly. She had indeed sensed that Ning Ye's Bloodline was very powerful, with strength beyond her comprehension. However, since Ning Ye was unwilling to speak, she did not bother to ask. What interested her most was not Ning Ye, but the silver-haired girl standing behind him—Su Su!
"Royal Spirit Clan?!"
"It seems this Venerable One has truly had good luck!"
Cang Yue's red lips curled slightly, and her cold eyes were filled with fervent heat.
Before the battle between gods and demons, she had personally witnessed the annihilation of the Royal Spirit Clan. Later, she was defeated by Divine Master Yan Zhi, and her injuries were difficult to heal. Only the True Blood of the Royal Spirit Clan could save her life. But since the Royal Spirit Clan had been destroyed, she had to seal herself in a bronze coffin, hoping that one day she could reverse her fate of certain death.
She never expected that after awakening, she would actually see a living girl of the Royal Spirit Clan. Since this was the case, her fate would change, and she was naturally joyful!
Ning Ye looked at Cang Yue's undisguised fervent gaze and frowned. He immediately pulled Su Su behind him and said, "Senior!"
"Please have some self-respect!"
Self-respect?
Cang Yue seemed to have heard something amusing, and the smile on her noble and stunning face grew even wider. She looked at Ning Ye with interest and asked, "Little fellow."
"Do you know who I am?"
Heh heh.
Ning Ye smiled and replied, "Demon Venerable!"
"Cang Yue!"
"For ten thousand years, your great name—who in the Nine Heavens does not know it? Who does not understand it?"
Oh?
Cang Yue's delicate eyebrows raised slightly. At this moment, her gaze toward Ning Ye became even more interesting. She had not expected that ten thousand years would have passed while she slept. Furthermore, this little fellow in front of her actually knew her identity. This meant that waking her up was something he had specifically intended.
"What is your name?"
Cang Yue asked indifferently.
"Ning Ye."
Ning Ye replied calmly.
"Tell me your purpose for coming here to awaken this Venerable One!"
Cang Yue crossed her arms, her beautiful eyes unblinking as she looked down at Ning Ye. Her fervent gaze seemed to pierce right through him. Since Ning Ye had specifically come to awaken her, she was naturally curious about his true purpose.
"A transaction."
Ning Ye said two words.
"What transaction?"
Cang Yue looked at Ning Ye with an expression that suggested everything was within her expectations.
"Take Su Su as your disciple."
Ning Ye said with a solemn expression.
This was a plan he had thought of from the beginning. After all, Su Su's identity as a Royal Spirit Clan member would be exposed sooner or later, so he naturally needed a powerful ally to help him protect Su Su. This person was Cang Yue. Since Cang Yue was a Demon Venerable, if she personally guided Su Su in cultivation, Su Su's future achievements would be immeasurable.
"Take a disciple?"
Cang Yue raised her eyebrows. After pondering for a moment, she nodded and replied, "Alright."
She understood clearly that Su Su, who possessed the Bloodline of the Royal Spirit Clan, was her only chance to prolong her lifespan. Since this was the case, she could naturally take Su Su as her disciple.
"And then?"
"This Venerable One wants to know what you want!"
Cang Yue's narrow beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. Clever as she was, she naturally knew that Ning Ye awakening her could not just be for Su Su to become a disciple. She wanted to know what Ning Ye truly wanted.
Heh heh.
Ning Ye seemed to have seen through Cang Yue's thoughts and shook his head with a smile. To be honest, with the System Mall of All Worlds activated, he was not really that tempted by the cultivation resources Cang Yue possessed. The only resources that could tempt him and make him covetous were the numerous forbidden great killing weapons he knew Cang Yue had hidden on her.
In the Nine Heavens, the reason Cang Yue could become the Demon Venerable was not only because of her powerful cultivation and unparalleled combat power, but also because she had once created many weapons that were famous throughout the Nine Heavens.
[Demon's Roar Cannon: once instantly destroyed an entire Imperial Dynasty, countless beings perished!]
[Nine Heavens Yin Thunder: once the Yin Thunder appeared, all gods were annihilated!]
[Yin Moon God-Slaying Needle: the Demon Race's number one hidden weapon; no one has ever seen its true power, because those who have seen it are all dead!]
[Falling Star Thousand Flowers: Cang Yue's famous great killing weapon. Legend has it that once this weapon appeared, stars fell like a thousand fading flowers, each flower a star realm. The first time this weapon appeared on the battleground of gods and demons, it annihilated several powerful Divine Families!]
... In the Nine Heavens, over a hundred mysterious great killing weapons were all created by Cang Yue alone. Therefore, in Ning Ye's eyes, Cang Yue was not just a simple Demon Venerable, but a super weapon arsenal.
Having Cang Yue meant infinite possibilities, but the problem was that these were all Cang Yue's taboos.
He wondered if Cang Yue would be willing to give them to him.
However, since he had already come, he might as well give it a try.
Whoosh!
Ning Ye took a deep breath, then said, "I heard that Demon Venerable once created many forbidden killing weapons!"
"If possible, Demon Venerable might as well casually throw a few to this Junior to play with!"
Huh?
Cang Yue was stunned for a moment. She had not expected Ning Ye's appetite to be so big, actually wanting her treasures. However, she did not rush to refuse. She pondered for a moment and said, "Alright."
"But, you have to exchange something for them!"
Heh.
Ning Ye smiled, thinking to himself: Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world.
"Senior, tell me."
"What price does this Junior need to pay?"
Ning Ye looked at Cang Yue and asked quietly.
"Lifespan."
Cang Yue uttered two words indifferently. What she needed now was not anything else; only Lifespan was what she urgently needed.
"This thing... who doesn't need it?"
Ning Ye shook his head with a bitter smile. If Cang Yue wanted other things, it would have been fine, but Lifespan? He did not even have enough for himself. To use it for a transaction was truly too extravagant. At least for now, it could not be used for a transaction.
"Alright!"
"This Venerable One has said everything that needs to be said."
"Don't say this Venerable One didn't give you a chance!"
"If you are willing to exchange Lifespan, this Venerable One can exchange what you want with you!"
"If not, this Venerable One will not force you!"
Cang Yue's lips curved into a shallow arc. Her smile was brilliant, but in Ning Ye's eyes, it was undoubtedly the smile of a devil.
"Let's talk about it another day."
Ning Ye sighed slightly. Although he could not offer extra Lifespan to exchange with Cang Yue now, he believed that he would have it in the near future.
After all, he possessed the Reverse Moon Heavenly Saber; earning Lifespan and such was not difficult. Now, he just needed to confirm that Cang Yue could make a transaction with him.
"Alright!"
"We'll talk about it another day."
Cang Yue stretched lazily. She never forced others, but she believed that soon, Ning Ye would come to find her again.
And in fact, she also needed some additional life force beyond the Tree of Life to help her accelerate the healing of her injuries.
Upon hearing this, Ning Ye nodded and said no more. Instead, he turned to Su Su, winked, and said, "Su Su."
"Go quickly and pay your respects to Master!"
Ah?
Su Su scratched her head, looking puzzled. However, she still listened to Ning Ye very obediently and sincerely plopped down on her knees at Cang Yue's feet. She kowtowed three times loudly and said, "Su Su pays respects to Master!"
Get up!
Little fellow.
Cang Yue waved her hand, then narrowed her beautiful eyes and parted her red lips.
"Come once a month!"
"This Venerable One will personally teach you cultivation!"
"Of course... each time will require a drop of True Blood."
With that, she turned and plucked a golden leaf from the Ancient Tree of Life, handing it to Ning Ye.
"This is a leaf from the Ancient Tree of Life!"
"It contains powerful life force!"
"It can help my little disciple recover her depleted True Blood!"
Thank you, Demon Venerable!
Ning Ye smiled and nodded, then helped Su Su up.
Actually, even if Cang Yue had not given him this leaf of life, he would have bought some heavenly spiritual treasures from the System Mall to restore True Blood for Su Su to use. However, having this leaf of life now seemed even better.
"Demon Venerable!"
"Since that is the case, I will take Su Su and leave first!"
Ning Ye put away the golden leaf, then, without any further delay, pulled Su Su and left the isolated island.
Watching the two leave, Cang Yue looked up at the countless stars. She took a deep breath of the fresh air, and a faint smile involuntarily appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"I never thought... ten thousand years have already passed!"
"It's good to be alive... it is truly good!"
With that, Cang Yue seemed to have thought of something, and her beautiful eyes suddenly became extremely cold. She parted her red lips and muttered hatefully, "Yan Zhi... you wretched woman, just wait. One day, this Venerable One will make you repay tenfold for those lost ten thousand years!"
...Meanwhile, after leaving the Sacrificial Dao Pagoda.
Ning Ye returned to his small courtyard. He personally fed the leaf to Su Su. Watching Su Su's face gradually regain its rosy color and feeling her Qi and Blood gradually stabilize, he slowly relaxed.
"Daddy!"
"That Woman doesn't seem so scary!"
"She's actually quite nice!"
Su Su said innocently, chewing on the leaf of life in her mouth while looking up at Ning Ye.
Heh heh heh.
Ning Ye heard this and couldn't help but shake his head with a chuckle. One must know that Cang Yue was once number one on the blacklist of all gods in the Ninth Heaven Upper Realm; her methods and Heart-Nature were extremely ruthless. If it weren't for Su Su possessing the Bloodline of the Royal Spirit Clan which could help her prolong her Lifespan... then the consequences of him negotiating with her just now would have been incomparably tragic.
And just as Ning Ye was sighing in his heart, a graceful figure had already appeared silently at the courtyard gate.
The newcomer wore an elegant, close-fitting moon-colored dress, her figure curvaceous and graceful. The bright moonlight, cast upon her cold and peerless face, made her appear even more beautiful and delicate.
At this moment, she stood there quietly looking at Ning Ye, her jade hand clutching the corner of her skirt, her pearly teeth tightly biting her rosy lips. She said nothing, her beautiful eyes filled with complex and resentful meaning.
"Crown Princess!"
"Mu Li!"
Ning Ye turned his head and saw the person who had arrived, raising his eyebrows. A playful arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself:
Heh, this woman came at just the right time. Next, it is time to see what miraculous uses the Love Poison, known as the number one poison in the Nine Heavens, truly has!
