Li Jiujiu suddenly had a horrifying thought arise in her mind. She looked at Chi Wenyan’s twisted face as if she were looking at a demon.
"Your father... your father..."
Chi Wenyan laughed mockingly: "If he had obediently handed the position of Manor Master of Yundu Villa to , he wouldn’t have had to die so miserably."
In this world, there are indeed people who can be so ruthless even to their own fathers!
"You... you lunatic!"
"Lunatic?" Chi Wenyan glanced at Li Jiujiu lightly, saying:
"For cultivators like you who have been healthy since childhood, controlling swords in the Nine Heavens, how can you understand the suffering of mortals plagued by illnesses, unable to resist their fate?
There are countless diocre, ignorant, powerless mortals who can only silently accept their destiny, but I refuse to accept it!
The heavens give a sick and weak body, yet I insist on being healthy and long-lived. Yundu Villa lives by selling wine, but I insist on changing wine to tea, making a na for myself across the world!
People say mortals cannot cultivate, but I will make you cultivators who think so highly of yourselves be trampled under my feet!"
Li Jiujiu saw the madness hidden deeply in his pitch-black eyes and felt a cold chill in her heart as she asked:
"You are clearly a mortal, why... why can you control the flowers, plants, and trees here, it’s just like... like..."
Chi Wenyan chuckled, his gaze showing a hint of slender aning, and he responded: "Just like a demon, isn’t it?"
Li Jiujiu suddenly fell silent, as if waiting for his next words.
"Heaven have rcy, I, Chi Wenyan, though born with a terrible illness, destined not to live past thirty, had my father intending to arrange a marriage for .
Yet the aristocratic ladies who were friendly with Yundu Villa refused to be living widows after knowing my condition.
Mortal won looked down on , and I indeed languished in gloom for many years. I disliked the pervasive sll of wine in the villa and especially loved to be alone in a neglected tea garden behind the manor.
My father loved wine, not tea, so this tea garden was left unattended, gradually becoming neglected, with the tea trees nearly dying out. It was because of my daily care that the tea garden gradually revived.
It seems I was destined to have this blessing; a banshee in Chaling was supposed to dry out and die.
The banshee, watered by daily with fresh water for three years, managed to transform, no longer bound by roots and soil, thereby gaining freedom."
Li Jiujiu seed to realize: "Your strange power cos from the banshee in Chaling?"
Chi Wenyan laughed: "The newly transford banshee was quite pure and easy to deceive. She was grateful for my three years of watering her, regarded as her benefactor, and naturally cared for in every possible way, responding to my every need.
She pitied my weakness and sickness, difficult mobility, and spared no expense of her own demonic power and essence to heal my body, prolong my life."
This was truly an extrely touching story, but Li Jiujiu knew that this seemingly beautiful story was just the beginning.
Sure enough, Chi Wenyan continued to laugh: "Though I am not a cultivator, I am not entirely ignorant about matters of your Immortal Sect factions.
In this era dominated by immortals, the Demon Path can only survive in secret, and the Demon Clan finds it even harder to exist.
The banshee of Chaling treats with true affection; even her hundred-year cultivation is willing to be vested in .
But as a re mortal, ultimately I am not qualified to beco the master of a demon; she is inherently marked with a Demon Seal, and here in my Yundu Villa, more than one cultivator has tried to capture her and make her their own.
She, to her credit, has turned those troubleso low-level cultivators who ca to Yundu Villa into fertilizer beneath the tea trees.
But I know that in the long run, this isn’t viable. She can deal with those third-class immortal sect cultivators.
If a sword cultivator or magic cultivator from a top-tier immortal sect cos, will I have to watch them take away my life-saving redy?"
"Life-saving redy?" Li Jiujiu looked at the man before her: "The Chaling banshee treats you with genuine affection, but to you, she’s rely a redy?"
Chi Wenyan seed to hear sothing extrely amusing: "As expected from an aristocratic lady of the Lihe Sect, actually believing this kind of story between mortals and banshees.
I saved her life, she is grateful to , it is rely a simple cause and effect matter; she’s willing to risk life and limb, that’s her business.
I, Chi Wenyan, cherish my life the most. I have no ti to play this taboo love between humans and demons.
How laughable that the banshee of Chaling, naive and foolish, willingly offers her Demon Essence to , actually wishing to dual cultivate and prove the Dao together, sharing her power.
I am no fool, to cultivate with a demon would go against the human path, falling into the Demon Clan.
As I accept her Demon Essence to prolong my life, the Demon Seal on her body will also inevitably fall upon .
Ridiculous! As a proud free man, why would I trade my humanity for her elusive dream of love, bind myself with a collar, and beco a sacrificial pawn for you cultivators?
I don’t want her to be taken by cultivators; after all, a demon so devoted to is exceedingly rare.
But I also don’t want to be assimilated by her into a demon, so I ca up with a perfect solution, I obtained her Demon Essence without directly consuming it.
I rely cut a piece of flesh from her every day, for another human woman to eat, as a dicine person.
Let the human absorb the demon energy within the banshee’s body, and the human body then produces an extrely pure spiritual power for to absorb.
Until the human woman is completely transford into a demon, I will then use the power of her Demon Essence to control her freedom, aiding her cultivation.
