The Villain Has Something to Say

Chapter 110: Jianqing, Return the Blood Spirit Fruit to the Fiend Exalt (III)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Over these days, Luo Jianqing kept practicing Nine Heavenly Seizure Record, and thus obtained a better insight into seizing the karma. Now he could perceive some deeper karma lines, for example, there was a bright and dazzling karma line between him and Xuan Lingzi. Luo Jianqing didn’t know the specific content embodied in this karma line, but he still felt delighted.

Besides, on all the cultivators surpassing Gold Core, like Tai Hua’s seven children, the masters and exalts, Luo Jianqing could see a line of karma connecting their bodies with the earth.

However, when Luo Jianqing looked over Xuan Lingzi’s bamboo house, he saw nothing. It was empty and colorless.

Luo Jianqing felt baffled. He carefully practiced Nine Heavenly Seizure Record again and looked through it again.

But still nothing.

There was no line under Xuan Lingzi’s feet, the line leading to the earth that everyone had, except Xuan Lingzi.

Luo Jianqing frowned. He thought hard and came up with a conclusion, “Maybe when he reached Deity Transformation Period, that karma line had changed. I can see the karma line of cultivators surpassing Gold Core, but I may not be powerful enough to see the line of cultivators reaching Deity Transformation Period. So, I have to practice harder!”

As Luo Jianqing was delved into Nine Heavenly Seizure Record, Sir Hao Xingzi came to Yu Xiao peak. As the only one who didn’t do the closed-door practice, Luo Jianqing had to receive him.

Sir Hao Xingzi didn’t show much interest in Xuan Lingzi’s practice. He told Luo Jianqing, “You’re going to the Fiend Palace in three days. Prepare well, your third fellow sister will go with you. The Fiend Palace is not somewhere ordinary, as it’s not in the territory of thirty-six states, so you have to be very cautious and follow the advice of Sir Yu Qingzi.”

Luo Jianqing was confused and surprised, “Sir, why am I going to the Fiend Palace?”

Sir Hao Xingzi looked at him with astonishment, “Several months ago, Xuan Lingzi told me that he would like to send you there to gain more experience.”

Luo Jianqing, “…”

Of Course, Luo Jianqing couldn’t tell Sir Hao Xingzi about what happened between he and Xuan Lingzi, so he saw Sir Hao Xingzi off with great respect and assented to the travel three days later. When Hao Xingzi left, Luo Jianqing came to the door of Xuan Lingzi with rage and was about to hammer the ward set up by Xuan Lingzi, “You send me away only to avoid seeing me?”

Luo Jianqing wasn’t going to withdraw his palm. Actually, he was much less powerful than Xuan Lingzi, so if he really hammered the ward, he would be hurt seriously by the backfire. As his hand was about to touch the ward, the door opened and Xuan Lingzi clutched Luo Jianqing’s thin wrist.

Xuan Lingzi frowned and said: “Jianqing, stop messing about!”

Luo Jianqing gripped Xuan Lingzi’s hand, palm against palm and said, “You never wanted me to leave here and told me to focus on practice. Why do you now send me to the Fiend Palace? It’s far away from here!”

Xuan Lingzi sighed slightly and wrapped his arm around Luo Jianqing’s waist, leading him to the house, “I have adequate reason to send you there. The Blood Spirit Fruit you gained in Liu Yan Valley belongs to the Fiend Palace. Since you have established a pact with the fruit, there must be a bond between you two. Although it is now only one third of its original size, I can terminate the pact for you. When you reach the palace, give it back to the Fiend Exalt.”

Hearing that, Luo Jianqing was shocked, “The Fiend Exalt?”

Xuan Lingzi nodded and told Luo Jianqing the whole story.

“Oh, I see!” Luo Jianqing sighed, but he still felt a little bit confused, “Although this fruit belongs to the Fiend Exalt, I own it now. You have also said that there is a bond between us, so why do I have to give it back? We cultivators always cherish bond, and I’ve never heard that a cultivator would cut the bond himself.”

Xuan Lingzi turned to Luo Jianqing and said, “Yes, this fruit should belong to you now, and it can improve your power, but I would rather use it to help the Fiend Exalt reach Deity Transformation Period, so that we can leave this mountain and travel around the world together.”

His words made Luo Jianqing even more confused. Xuan Lingzi continued to explain, “Mo Qianqiu has reached the late stage of Da Sheng Period, so his Blood Spirit Skill is different from other Fiend Cultivators. If I’m right, he is too powerful, so the Blood Spirit Fruit has been divided into seven small fruits, and you have one of them. Although lacking one small fruit will not necessarily lead to the failure of Blood Spirit Skill, the harm is still obvious-the failure rate will reach ninety percent. I don’t know why the Fiend Exalt hasn’t come after you yet, but it’s wise to give it back. Even if the fruit only remains one third of its original size, it is still made up with his blood force.”

Since this fruit was critical to the prosperity and peace of humans and demons, Luo Jianqing had to agree to give it back, but he still had some confusion, “Why me? You can send Sir Yu Qingzi to bring it there.”

Xuan Lingzi replied, “The less people know the Fiend Exalt uses Blood Spirit Skill, the better things will be. In this world, except those that the Fiend Exalt had told, only you, I and the Demon Exalt know it. I don’t know the exact difference between Fiend Exalt’s Blood Spirit Skill and that of ordinary Fiend Cultivators and why he didn’t take all the nine fruits once, so we must be cautious. Besides, I used the power of Deity Transformation to seal the fruit into your body, and I am the only one that can unleash this seal, which will consume much of my energy. Since you have established a connection with the fruit, the longer it leaves your body, the less vitality it will have. So you can only take it out when you arrive at the palace, before that, don’t take it out. The Demon Exalt might have noticed Mo Qianqiu’s attempt to reach Deity Transformation Period, once you take the fruit out, he may find you.”

Luo Jianqing listened carefully and agreed.

Then, Luo Jinaqing and Xuan Lingzi sat face to face on couch, closed their eyes and meditated. Xuan Lingzi’s palm clang to Luo Jianqing’s belly and began to unleash the complicated seal, which took him three days.

As Xuan Lingzi completely unleashed the seal, the message of Sir Yu Qingzi had come, which ordered Luo Jianqing to go to the gate of Tai Hua mountain now.

Luo Jianqing packed up quickly, took his newly-forged Floating Frost Sword and left. Just two step forwards, Luo Jianqing turned around abruptly and stood in front of Xuan Lingzi.

They gazed at each other for a while, and then Luo Jianqing pulled Xuan Lingzi over, giving him a soul kiss. Xuan Lingzi was a little bit surprised, but soon he held Luo Jianqing’s waist and kissed back with more passion.

For three days, they were devoted to meditating and unleashing the seal, so there was no time left for them to say goodbye.

This kiss was long and sweet. They didn’t stop until Luo Jianqing’s lips became swollen and his face blushed.

A glimmer of sadness appeared in Xuan Lingzi’s eyes, but he restrained it. He just grabbed the hand of Luo Jianqing who was about to leave, and kissed him gently, “Be careful. Your life is the most important thing in the world. Even if you can’t meet the Fiend Exalt and can’t return the Blood Fruit, you have to come back.” he said.

Luo Jianqing smiled brightly, “Master, you have given me so many instruments and a jade tablet to contact the Fiend Exalt. Besides, Sir Yu Qingzi will take care of us this time, don’t worry.”

Xuan Lingzi frowned. He didn’t let Luo Jianqing go.

Luo Jianqing was astonished. He saw Xuan Lingzi taking out a white round pearl, which was as clear as white jade. It should be an ordinary message-delivery pearl, but on the hand of Xuan Lingzi, it seemed like a supreme instrument.

Xuan Lingzi said, “I fought on the battleground of human and demons over a hundred years ago, when I saved the life of the Fiend Exalt. If you are in danger, just crumb this pearl, and the Fiend Exalt will feel it. He will help you out if he can make it.”

Luo Jianqing took the pearl and beamed, “Master, you are fussing now.”

Xuan Lingzi suddenly hugged Luo Jianqing and sighed, “Jianqing, I really hope that I can go with you…”

Luo Jianqing smiled, “When the Fiend Exalt reach Deity Transformation Period, you can accompany me to anywhere.”

After bidding farewell, Luo Jianqing flew away. Soon, he found Sir Yu Qingzi and dozens of other cultivators were heading to the Fiend Palace. In this team, Wei Qiongyin was the least powerful one, who reached the middle stage of Gold Core, while Sir Yu Qingzi was the most powerful one, finishing the Tribulation Passage.

They sat on the supreme flying instrument of Yu Qingzi and arrived at the meeting point three days later. Now, they were waiting for the representatives from Four Sects and Eight Clans.
