Her eyes curved into a smile as they swept over Ye Chuxue, and she quickly urged the flying carpet to depart.
On the flying carpet, aside from Mo Yuan, was the heavily injured and unconscious Bai Yang.
In their past life, both of them had pushed her to the brink for Ye Chuxue’s sake.
’In this life, they will repay their debt in full...’
＊
The gentle breeze was pleasant, the sunlight just right.
Bai Yang slowly opened his eyes in a daze.
Long hair fluttered in the wind, so close yet seemingly as distant as the horizon.
He stared blankly, suddenly realizing it had been a long ti since he had looked at his Master so closely.
He didn’t know when it started, but the woman who had once been his entire world had gradually beco soone he despised...
A long, long ti ago, his ambition had been to beco a person just like his Master.
This feeling was uncontrollable, causing him to slowly grow to loathe his Master, to loathe his own identity...
It wasn’t until recently that he was shocked to realize his Master’s change, as well as his own mistakes.
Recalling the sight of his Master shielding him, Bai Yang’s expression suddenly softened.
’A teacher for a day, a parent for life.’
His Master was his eternal support, a person he should forever respect.
"Master."
He propped himself up and called out softly.
Song Wanning heard him and turned, not missing the intense emotion in his eyes.
Her eyelids drooped slightly, showing no sign of pleasure. She just gave a cold "hmph" and turned back around.
’Since I’ve decided to torture his body and his heart, I have to do it step by step.’
’After all, I have a long life ahead of .’
Seeing her still-frigid expression, Bai Yang felt a tightness in his chest and clutched it, feeling a pang of pain.
’Master must still be angry with , right?’
’But I know I’m still in her heart, and that’s enough.’
He lay on the flying carpet, his injuries forcing him to furrow his brow. It was then that he finally thought of Ye Chuxue.
’I wonder how she’s doing now?’
’Did she find soone to rescue ?’
Bai Yang closed his eyes. Even though he was worried, he didn’t dare send a Sound Transmission Talisman to ask while in front of Song Wanning.
The entire Sect knew that his Master hated Ye Chuxue, and he was clearer on this than anyone.
’In the future, I will definitely find a way to resolve the misunderstanding between them!’
’They are both extrely important people to .’
The flying carpet was silent. Before long, it arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Inquiry Sect.
"Get off."
Song Wanning commanded coldly, and in the next instant, Bai Yang fell off the flying carpet.
"Ugh..."
He let out a muffled groan, his brows knitting together in pain.
Before he could speak, a bottle of Elixir Pills landed in his arms.
Bai Yang froze. He quickly looked up, only to see the fading afterimage of the flying carpet speeding away...
’Master left, but she left Elixir Pills.’
Bai Yang reached out and clutched the bottle tightly. Though his face was covered in blood and gri, he couldn’t help but smile.
’Master... she still cares about .’
’She hasn’t changed.’
...
The flying carpet quickly left the territory of the Heavenly Inquiry Sect.
Song Wanning steered the flying carpet over a high mountain and into another one several miles from the valley.
Carrying a sack, she entered a cave and threw it against the wall.
Even after hitting the wall, there was no sound from within the sack.
Song Wanning stepped forward, untied the sack, and let Mo Yuan out.
Taking the mask off his face, she clicked her tongue.
’Even the side characters are all stunningly handso.’
’Too bad this face was ruined by poison.’
Song Wanning took out an Elixir Pill and shoved it into Mo Yuan’s mouth.
However, this Elixir Pill, which seed like it would help him recover, was no antidote. Instead, it was a fatal poison that could kill him at a critical mont.
She had mixed her own blood essence into these poisons.
No matter what tricks he tried, he would never be able to block her senses...
Even if he fled to Heaven and Earth, his whereabouts would be completely under her control.
She lowered her gaze, a dark light flashing in her eyes.
In her previous life, her Master had forbidden her from concocting poisons, afraid she wouldn’t be able to control her vicious nature and would end up enslaved by the Way of Slaughter, driven by her desires.
She had always kept his words to heart, but her end had been utterly tragic. Thus, after her rebirth, she imdiately began to study the Way of Poison, her passion for it even surpassing her interest in the Alchemy Dao.
Compared to saving people, she much preferred the feeling of killing them.
Especially the sight of her enemies kneeling and begging for rcy, pleading bitterly, only to die in despair in the end...
It made one’s very Divine Soul tremble.
Song Wanning suppressed the malice surging within her and took a dagger from her Storage Ring.
The cold dagger traced a path down Mo Yuan’s face, lingering as it moved lower...
...until it reached the space between his legs.
She suddenly gave a wicked smile, like a mischievous child, and swung the dagger down with a swift, clean motion.
The unconscious Mo Yuan suddenly convulsed, his body spasming from the instantaneous, excruciating pain.
With a flick of her wrist, Song Wanning used her Spiritual Power to fling the severed object out of the cave from a distance.
A demon beast waiting outside the cave imdiately rushed forward, snapped it up in a single bite, chewed it to a pulp, and swallowed it.
Its task complete, it shook its head and walked away, content.
Little did it know, it had carried away a man’s most important dignity.
Inside the cave, Song Wanning’s expression remained unchanged. She disdainfully shattered the dagger with a tremor of energy and tossed the fragnts away.
Mo Yuan, having lost too much blood, passed out once more, completely unaware of what had happened.
She slowly stood up and admired her handiwork.
Mo Yuan had been psychologically twisted since childhood, with a unique soft spot only for Ye Chuxue, who had once helped him. He had even made the entire Demon Clan a pillar of support for her.
Now, she had personally severed that possibility and even set them on a path of endless strife until death.
’I hope Mo Yuan doesn’t disappoint .’
After a simple wipe of her hands, Song Wanning strolled out of the cave.
Outside the cave, the sun was bright, its rays filtering down through the gaps in the forest canopy.
Song Wanning glanced up.
’How beautiful.’

"What did you say? Ye is missing with the Elixir Pills?"
After hearing Bai Yang’s report, the Heavenly Inquiry Sect Master’s face turned pale with anxiety.
That was the Heavenly Yuan Nourishing Heart Pill, won at auction for hundreds of thousands of Mid-grade Spirit Stones!
And now it was missing, along with Ye Chuxue.
"Yes. The situation was urgent, so this disciple had her leave first. Who knew that I would be unable to contact her even now!"
"Did Junior Sister Ye send a distress call to the Sect at any point?"
Bai Yang’s expression was grave, his heart filled with imnse worry.
’Could sothing terrible have happened to Junior Sister Ye?’
The Sect Master shook his head. "No, the Sect has not received any distress signal."
Both of their hearts sank.
"I’ll send people to search for her imdiately. You go back and heal your wounds first!"
The Sect Master imdiately dispatched disciples to find them. Both the Elixir Pills and Ye Chuxue had to be brought back safely!
The disciples of the Heavenly Inquiry Sect departed quickly. Bai Yang, due to his heavy injuries, had no choice but to return and recuperate first.
When An Ze received the news, he was startled by the extent of Bai Yang’s injuries.
When Bai Yang asked him about the talisman, he suddenly rembered the pile of ash left after the talisman paper had burned.
After understanding the full story, both of them fell silent.
’We missed it.’
"I have to go find Senior Sister Ye! She can’t be in trouble!"
An Ze was extrely anxious. Senior Sister Ye was in a dangerous situation now; he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you stay here and heal. Help keep an eye on Senior Uncle Gu!"
With that, he impatiently ran out.
Bai Yang glanced at the still-unconscious Gu Qingyuan, his brow furrowing.
’I don’t know when it started, but trouble has been coming one thing after another.’
’It seems my good luck has run out.’
