Banshee Family Training Record

But Yun Chu'an had already gone far away, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Helpless, she could only stomp her foot hard once, then turn around and leave angrily.

Meanwhile, Yun Chu'an ran back to Huai Mountain, crawled into the dungeon, and brutally tortured and ravaged You Wensi before he could barely calm himself down.

He then spent the entire night meditating and regulating his breathing at the top of the mountain where Ye Jinglan had once stood, amidst the sea of ​​flowers.

Chapter 441 She's already your sex slave?!

The next morning, as the sun slowly rose from the horizon in the east, the clouds on the mountaintop gradually opened their eyes.

Before he could do anything, a slight rustling sound came from halfway up the mountain. The familiar noise stirred his thoughts, and then a sense of foreboding began to rise in his mind.

Sure enough, a wisp of smoke fell, and a familiar figure landed in the sea of ​​flowers, standing in front of him. Before he could even stand still, a question came first: "Chu'an, are you really alright?"

That was Zhu Yunqing's voice. Then, the woman stood in front of him, frowning and staring at him.

Yun Chu'an stood up, a sense of foreboding creeping into her heart. She steeled herself and asked, bowing her head, "Fourth Sister, did...did I do something wrong?"

Zhu Yunqing frowned: "You still dare to talk? Don't you realize that your recent behavior is quite unusual compared to before?"

As she spoke, she walked to his side, took his hand, and began to recount the mistakes he had made these past few days: "It's one thing to drive away Lu Youguang, after all, he really is a villain; it's also one thing to occupy the surrounding hills and help the servants in the family to find a few places to cultivate, that's nothing."

“But last night…” she said, her brows furrowing even more, “After driving away those giant apes, you sent the bear demons to track them down, planning to wipe them out later. Putting aside whether doing so would create enemies for yourself, do you think those stupid bears are capable of doing the job of tracking them down?”

As she spoke, she frowned, stepped forward, and reached out to touch his palm: "What's wrong with you lately? Why are you acting so inconsiderately?"

Yun Chu'an racked his brains, but before he could come up with a suitable excuse, he sensed Zhu Yunqing's spiritual power suddenly flowing into his palm and circulating through the spiritual power circulation system within his body.

His expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly retreated. Zhu Yunqing's expression also changed; at this moment, she suddenly realized something she hadn't noticed before: "You're in the late Foundation Establishment stage?"

Just now, she clearly sensed that her lover's cultivation level had surpassed her own.

Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Yun Chu'an sighed and lowered her head: "Yes, Fourth Sister."

Zhu Yunqing frowned, not pleased by his rapid progress, but filled with worry: "What's wrong? Is this why you've been acting more and more hastily and recklessly lately?"

Her heart was trembling. Breaking through in cultivation was certainly a good thing, but breaking through too quickly could easily trigger a situation that cultivators feared but were mostly powerless to change.

The inner demons are like the body.

This is the situation she fears most, because it originates from the cultivator's own heart, and outsiders have almost no way to control it; the cultivator can only rely on himself to restrain it.

As far as Zhu Yunqing knew, only legendary figures could control their inner demons; and among the cultivators she had seen who encountered inner demons, not one could escape, and in the end, they were all controlled by their inner demons, turning into completely evil demonic cultivators, madmen who would stop at nothing, or simply losing all their cultivation and turning into ashes.

This was the situation she feared most and least wanted to see, which was also the reason she kept advising Yun Chu'an not to rush into a breakthrough.

But today, it seems that the situation she feared most has still happened.

Faced with Zhu Yunqing's questioning, Yun Chuan avoided eye contact and stammered, unable to answer.

Seeing that he was unwilling to answer her question directly, the spider demon's eyes gradually became sorrowful: "Chu An, is there something that you can't even tell me?"

She asked this question, and her sorrowful eyes made Yun Chu'an pause in surprise, then feel a sharp pain in his heart.

He gritted his teeth, grabbed the woman's hand, sat down, and continued, "I took the Yinming Corpse Pill."

Zhu Yunqing was suddenly stunned: "What?"

"The Yinming Corpse Pill is the only one in Qin Haihou's tomb, a true treasure valued by the Corpse Driving Sect." He said, repeating to Zhu Yunqing everything Qi Qiao had told him. "Originally, I didn't plan to take it in such a hurry, but You Wensi is going to refine me."

"She believes that I might have a celestial spiritual root..."

He stopped hiding anything and told her everything about his experiences during this period, as well as the truth about his relationship with You Wensi.

Zhu Yunqing remained in a daze as she listened to his entire account. Even though she was a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, the amount of information was too vast for her to digest and absorb in a short time.

After Yun Chuan finished speaking, she swallowed hard and said with great difficulty, "So, you mean that You Wensi is now completely your puppet, or even your sex slave?"

As she said these words, her own voice trembled. She couldn't believe that the people she once looked up to were now being trampled underfoot by her lover!

As for other information, such as "Yun Chu'an is actually a Heavenly Spiritual Root," she hadn't had time to process it yet and found it hard to accept.

“…Hmm.” Yun Chu’an nodded gently and lowered his head. “You Wensi is not actually a Golden Core cultivator. She is a cultivator in the ‘Remnant Core Realm’ whose Golden Core was shattered, but who luckily retained a portion of her power.”

"In this way, her cultivation level is stronger than that of ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, enabling her to exert overwhelming pressure. When facing true Golden Core cultivators, she can rely on her rich experience and unorthodox methods to win, thus presenting herself as a powerful Golden Core cultivator."

“But she is not a true Golden Core cultivator after all,” Yun Chu’an concluded. “So when I took the Yinming Corpse Pill and unleashed my full power, she was no longer my match.”

Zhu Yunqing was stunned, still unable to believe her ears. She sat among the flowers, holding her lover's hand, gazing at him, and finally suddenly asked, "So, your recent abnormal, irritable, and violent behavior is a side effect of that Yinming Corpse Pill?"

Yun Chu'an lowered her head: "Hmm...it should be. I've been trying to overcome it these days. Don't worry, Fourth Sister, I know what I'm doing and I can handle it."

"If you're really worried, please get me some more mid-grade spirit stones so I can get rid of these negative emotions as soon as possible."

Finally, he raised his head again, a smile playing on his lips, and said in a half-joking manner, trying to make her feel at ease.

However, Zhu Yunqing's face was still full of worry. She could understand his good intentions, but how could she not worry about her lover who was currently being tormented by these negative thoughts?

However, she also knew that this was something only he could handle...

She bit her lower lip, her mind racing with thoughts, yet she still couldn't come up with a clear answer.

How can I help him?

However, this seems to be just negative emotion caused by taking the wrong pill, and doesn't seem to reach the level of "inner demons".

Perhaps someone among those prestigious sects knows a way?

"Should we ask Yan Shuiyi or Master Huijing?" she immediately suggested. "They have a good relationship with us. They should have some knowledge about this in the Qingyun Sect or the Buddhist community."

Yun Chu'an gave a wry smile. He wanted to say that earning some spirit stones would be enough. Once he could exchange for the Bodhi Mirror Platform, everything would be fine.

However, the system's existence was too bizarre, and he didn't know how to bring it up with her. Therefore, in the end, he could only vaguely reply, "Alright then, I'll find some time to ask Yan Shuiyi..."

Zhu Yunqing saw his reluctance and did not force him, but said, "Resolve it as soon as possible, so that these thoughts do not interfere with your rationality and cause misjudgment, which would be bad and lead to a big mistake."

Yun Chu'an held her hand and said softly, "It was indeed my oversight, Fourth Sister. We shouldn't have let the bear demons chase after those giant apes."

“However, those giant apes still need to be killed. Fourth Sister, I have my own considerations, namely, targeting the Yellow Python.”

He said, "I learned a few days ago that the cultivators who were besieging the Yellow Python were about to reach the Ten Thousand Snake Cave. However, the Zhao and Jin states could not work together, which is why it has been a month since they were able to break through there."

"But the general trend is such that, in my estimation, the Huangmang family will be wiped out in no more than six months. Those giant apes still submit to the Huangmang family. I was thinking that after wiping them out, I could also gain the status of a meritorious official, and then I would have more confidence with Sheng Linglong."

Zhu Yunqing held his hand, relaxed, and followed his train of thought, agreeing with the idea.

She was glad that he still had his rationality, even though he could sometimes be impulsive or too proud to admit it.

In that situation, you would need to do something to help him...

Chapter 442 The Charm of the Holy Maiden of Joy

The front line of Jin Kingdom's cultivators.

Several pavilions and futons were temporarily erected on this hilltop, and many Jin Kingdom cultivators from both sides of the Wei River gathered here to prepare for the final battle.

If you move forward from here, less than a hundred miles away in a straight line, lies the current lair of the Yellow Python Clan, the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes.

This is also the place where Yun Chu'an once entered and exited several times under the guise of "Mickey," swindling countless benefits.

But now, he basically dares not openly enter or leave that place anymore. Who knows when the cultivators from Jin Kingdom will suddenly swarm in and kill all the demon cultivators there, leaving none alive.

Currently, people around the Ten Thousand Serpent Cave are in a state of panic, and countless demon cultivators are on edge.

However, if the snake demons had spies who could enter and leave this camp, they would know that the moment of the final battle was probably not so close yet.

Even though Princess Sheng Linglong's mediation allowed the cultivation families on both sides of the Wei River to maintain a respectable distance from each other without forming a unified entity, they were still able to unite to fight against the Yellow Python demon cultivator. Although it was a bit more difficult for her, everything was progressing steadily.

However, it's uncertain whether the Zhao state on the other side of the mountain will be able to unite with the Jin people. This is what Sheng Linglong and the leaders of the cultivation families are most worried about recently. They are unwilling to launch the final battle until they are confident that they can drive out the Zhao people.

The final battle of the Golden Core cultivators.

In recent days, however, it has only been a small-scale operation to eliminate many peripheral demon cultivators, and no real Golden Core demon has yet fallen.

Many rogue cultivators were at the campsite on this mountain. Some sat on futons meditating and regulating their breathing, while others started doing business, quietly communicating with the surrounding cultivators, selling the organs and magical treasures they had obtained from the demon cultivators they had killed, or selling some small self-defense items to those rogue cultivators who were planning to make a move.

Everything seemed the same as usual, but on this day, something was destined to break the peace.

In the distance behind, a graceful figure dressed in plain clothes and wearing a veil suddenly appeared and landed in the center of the crowd.

A faint, sweet fragrance wafted through the air. She remained silent and did not reveal her true face, but with just her graceful figure, she instantly became the center of attention.

The young cultivator with a youthful face immediately stared wide-eyed, his gaze fixed on her, unable to look away; the two cultivators who were discussing business were distracted, completely forgetting what they had just been talking about; in the distant pavilion, the cultivators who were meditating with their eyes closed couldn't help but open their eyes, no matter how much they chanted the Heart-Cleansing Mantra, they couldn't control their eyes from looking in her direction.

The woman who suddenly appeared was none other than the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect. Taking in all the reactions around her, she paid no attention. She walked to the side of the cliff, took out a huge easel from her storage bag, made it suspend in front of her, hung the canvas on it, sat down in mid-air, took out a brush and paints, and began to paint.

With her back to the crowd, she had only her long, black hair tied in a braid, hanging down her back behind her simple, thin blue dress. But even this back view disturbed the peace of mind of everyone in the market.

Their minds were completely absorbed in this woman, constantly trying to peek at her face, her figure, and the paintings on her canvases, wanting to uncover her identity and the secrets that might be hidden behind her.

Further away, Xu Yinghuan quietly stepped into this resting place and immediately noticed the Holy Maiden in the distance, as well as the crowd who couldn't help but spy on her.

They were all so focused that now, when she, a female cultivator from the Hehuan Sect who was considered quite beautiful, stepped into this place, not a single person noticed her.

Faced with this scene, she might have secretly felt jealous on ordinary days, and then compete with the beautiful woman who had stolen the attention of all the men present and all the limelight from her. However, at this moment, facing her own saintess, she felt no jealousy at all, only full of envy.

As expected of the Holy Maiden, she easily accomplished what none of us could, attracting everyone's attention.

She gazed at the saintess's retreating figure with adoration, her eyes fixed on her, unwilling to look away. It was as if her gaze and attention were completely drawn to the saintess's beautiful back, just like all the men watching nearby, unable to tear their eyes away.

Before long, a sudden gust of wind swept in from afar. Some people turned their heads, saw the approaching figure, and exclaimed in surprise, "The young master of the Xiahou family has arrived!"

Xu Yinghuan snapped out of her reverie and looked into the distance. She saw a man with a phoenix-winged crown on his head, a long sword at his waist, and a body covered in golden scales with a large red flower on his chest. He was accompanied by several attendants, his face grim and silent.

His leggings were stained with a few drops of bright red blood, clearly indicating that the man had just experienced a life-or-death battle. Coupled with his furrowed brows, he exuded a chilling aura that calmed the mind.

Xiahou Chongtao has not been in a good mood lately. Their family's rival, the Wenren family, can now enjoy peace and comfort in the rear, while he has to lead his men to the front line, fighting to the death with those filthy and ugly demon cultivators at close range. Whether they can obtain suitable weapons and talismans as supplies depends on their mood.

This greatly displeased him. Although he had distinguished himself on the battlefield, this wasn't what he wanted. What value were a few auspicious words from rogue cultivators? He couldn't let the Wenren family lose face; how could he possibly vent his anger?

He needed an opportunity to become the most dazzling rising star among the major families on both sides of the Wei River.

Upon landing on this side of the ground, Xiahou Chongtao's gaze was immediately drawn to the image of the Holy Maiden of Harmony painting in the distance. He frowned slightly, then whispered to the person beside him, "Who is this?"

Beside him, his servant immediately whispered in response: "I heard that the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect recently came to this area. For some reason, no one has seen her true face, but she is dressed simply, wears a light veil on her face, and is not competitive with others. She is probably the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect without a doubt."

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Chongtao couldn't help but feel a surge of contempt: "She's just a prostitute. Watch me take her down in a few words."

Although he said that, looking at the woman's beautiful back, he couldn't help but feel a surge of lust in his heart, and immediately thought about how he could have a sexual encounter with her.

The old servant immediately became very anxious: "My lord, it is said that this demoness has appeared in other places, bewitching people with just a few words, and sometimes she can make people fall head over heels for her without saying a word. It is clear how strange her sorcery is. We must be on guard!"

Xiahou Chongtao, however, was unconcerned: "Ha, am I the kind of fool who would be easily swayed by a few words?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and walked straight to the back of the Holy Maiden of Joy. When he arrived there, he also saw the artwork on the canvas.

Upon seeing that, his mind suddenly went blank, and he was completely unable to think.

The most exquisitely depicted figure in the center of the painting is a majestic and powerful man clad in silver armor. With a resolute expression, he wields his sword, slashing down at the numerous red, green, blue, and purple demons and monsters below. His imposing presence exudes an aura of power and authority.

Countless demons were slain by his sword, proving that this man was undoubtedly a peerless warrior god of war. However, behind this man, there was a group of smaller figures, simply drawn with brushstrokes. Some of them also followed the man into battle, some were just cheering and shouting, some were scheming with their own eyes, and one of them secretly reached into the man's pocket...

Gazing at the heroic and majestic man in the painting, Xiahou Chongtao's eyes filled with tears. Although the man's appearance, as well as the color and decoration of his armor, did not match his own at all, at this moment he was absolutely certain that this painting was real.

It's a picture of me!

These past few days, the scoundrels from other families have either shirked their duties or, like the despicable Wenren family, only known how to hide in the back and rake in money. Only I, the only one on the front line, have been slaying demons and suffering the most, yet I have not received the praise and reward I deserve!

At this moment, Xiahou Chongtao felt as if his soul had resonated with the spirit. He had just come down from the front line, and it was the time when he felt the most wronged and his emotions were the most intense.

If he had calmed down and looked at the painting again, he probably wouldn't have had the same effect. However, at this very moment, he happened to come across the painting and resonated with the emotions within it.

Instantly, his tiger-like eyes filled with tears as he gazed at the retreating figure of the Holy Maiden of Joy, as if he had found a soulmate in his life.

She understands me.

The intense emotional resonance made him instantly regard this woman as his soulmate. However, at that moment, the Holy Maiden of Joy suddenly turned her head away.

She wore a veil, so Xiahou Chongtao couldn't see her stunning beauty clearly. However, through the semi-transparent veil, he seemed to be able to see a hint of grievance in the woman's eyes.

Chapter 443 The Fall, Panic

Xiahou Chongtao panicked instantly. He suddenly realized that he hadn't understood how well she understood his feelings, and had shamelessly mistaken her for a prostitute like the other Hehuan Sect cultivators!

She must have heard those words.

"not me……"

For a moment, he turned pale with nervousness, regretting his rashness in bumping into the beautiful woman.

His lips trembled as he desperately tried to find a word to explain, but sadly discovered that any explanation seemed pale and powerless at this moment.

Moreover, the Holy Maiden of Joy had no intention of listening to his explanation. She immediately stood up, packed away her painting scroll, palette, and chair, and turned to walk towards him: "Please make way, I'm leaving."
