After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Chapter 48

The next day, Jiang Chen left the sect under Xiao Hongyi’s gaze with a few junior brothers in tow and still wearing a carefree smile, heading towards the Hengduan Mountain Range.

Xiao Hongyi’s beautiful eyes were somewhat dim.

‘I won’t let you die.’

The words Jiang Chen had said the day before reappeared in her mind.

After pondering all night, she still didn’t understand their meaning.

Remembering the embrace with Jiang Chen from the previous night, her cheeks flushed again.

Undoubtedly, that hug had clearly crossed the boundaries of a master-disciple relationship.

“Alright, he was simply taking advantage of me!”

Xiao Hongyi suddenly came to her senses.

After all, how could she possibly die?

Even if Jiang Chen really knew something, why wouldn’t he speak up?

Wouldn’t speaking out be the best way to solve the problem?

Believing she understood Jiang Chen’s motives, Xiao Hongyi was furious.

To think she had been so troubled last night!

It turned out that it was her own senior disciple causing trouble again!

A red whip appeared in her hand in a fit of anger and embarrassment. The whip moved gently, tracing a streak of red light in the air.

The red light shot out rapidly, and in the next second, it struck Jiang Chen’s back from a distance!

“Ah! Master, it hurts…”

Jiang Chen cried out in pain and then fell to the ground, motionless.

“Pfft!”

Xiao Hongyi couldn’t help but laugh.

Although that strike seemed powerful, she hadn’t used any real strength, okay?

He sure acted it out convincingly!

“I’ll whip you a hundred times more if you don’t leave now!”

With a serious expression, Xiao Hongyi spoke softly.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately sprang up and “whoosh” – he was gone without a trace…

This made Xiao Hongyi shake her head helplessly.

……

Hengduan Mountain Range.

Here, the mountains are steep and majestic, with peaks rising sharply, stretching for nine hundred li.

Within it, the first three hundred li are infested with small demons, the middle three hundred li are dominated by large demons, and the last three hundred li are where demon kings roam, also known as the forbidden zone for humans.

It is well known that the Hengduan Mountain Range is the territory of the demon race.

The flesh and bones of demons are important materials for crafting spiritual tools and medicinal pills, and the Hengduan Mountain Range is rich in various natural treasures, hence cultivators come here incessantly.

The demon race also welcomes this, as consuming the flesh and blood of human cultivators can likewise enhance their own cultivation.

To put it plainly, this is a battle, a battle where only the victor reap the benefits, and there are no rules whatsoever.

In the middle of the mountain range, about four hundred li from the entrance.

On a flat terrain, a man and a woman, both cultivators, were taking a brief rest.

The man had tan skin and closely cropped hair, and although his appearance was only average, his smile was clean and gave off a strong sense of affinity.

The woman was gentle and lovely, with bright, expressive eyes, and when she laughed, her voice was as melodious and ethereal as that of an oriole.

The young man set up a campfire, and soon, smoke was rising.

“Qingning Senior Sister, although the Huteng Snake is a lesser demon, its flesh is tender and has a unique flavor when roasted,” the young man said.

“Lin Senior Brother, you know so much,” the young woman said with a smile.

“Even though I’m a bit older than you, I should address you as Senior Sister since I’ve decided to join the Jiuyan Sect,” the young man waved his hand.

“But you saved me and you know so much, I should call you Senior Brother,” she insisted.

The girl was determined.

Seeing the girl’s serious expression, the boy stopped arguing and called out.

“Qingning Junior Sister?”

“Right here!”

Qingning raised her delicate hand, her smile revealing two shallow dimples.

This sight made Lin Feng momentarily stunned, finding her too adorable!

Lin Feng hadn’t expected to encounter such a charming beauty in the Hengduan Mountain Range, a place teeming with demons!

Such beauty, such character! Tsk tsk…

She was on a completely different level compared to his old flames in the Lower Domain!

“Although this girl’s talent is not outstanding, she has great fortune. Just look at the White Tiger beside her. It’s comparable to a Heavenly Origin realm cultivator!”

An old voice echoed in Lin Feng’s mind.

A demon beast comparable to a Heavenly Origin realm cultivator?

Lin Feng was startled.

Such a powerful demon beast could easily take down any cultivator below the top four realms.

Qingning was only at the later stages of Initial Formation, yet she could control such a formidable demon beast?

That didn’t make sense!

“It’s probably not beast taming, but an equal contract. From what I observe, the White Tiger is not just any ordinary demon beast. I sense a trace of ancient bloodline within it, and it will eventually ascend to become a Demon King! You’ve missed out big time!”

The voice in his mind spoke again.

So powerful?

Lin Feng was shocked again.

Had he known this earlier, he wouldn’t have generously let Qingning have the White Tiger.

A few days ago, Qingning had fallen off a cliff into a cave.

When Lin Feng went to rescue her, he found not only Qingning but also the White Tiger in the cave.

At that time, the White Tiger was seriously injured and weak.

Lin Feng had initially wanted to eat it, but Qingning couldn’t bear to do so and fed it many precious herbs and treasures.

Lin Feng didn’t object to this. After all, with his character of being smitten by beauty, he naturally valued Qingning’s opinion more.

But who would have thought that after the White Tiger recovered from its injuries and its aura was restored, it turned out to be a powerful demon beast, and one with the potential to become a Demon King!

Had he known, he would have formed a beast-taming contract first. Especially since the White Tiger was in no condition to resist back then.

“Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?! Are you trying to trick me?”

Lin Feng cursed inwardly.

“Hmph, I’ve told you before, beautiful girl is only a skeleton inside! Women will only hinder your path to becoming an emperor. You won’t understand until you suffer a loss!”

The voice inside his head retorted.

“Old Man Tianji, I’ll say it again, I want both women and to become an emperor!”

“You’re practicing the Ancient Seven Purities Annihilation Technique, which eradicates all Seven emotions and Six desires! You’re practicing the Heartless Way of the Saber!”

“So what? Didn’t you say I’m the Son of Destiny? Others can’t, but I can!”

“…Ignorant child.”

“Say that again? Believe it or not, I’ll throw away the ring?”

The voice in his mind abruptly stopped, clearly conceding.

“Lin Senior Brother, what are you daydreaming about? It looks like it’s going to burn.”

Qingning suddenly spoke up.

Hearing this, Lin Feng immediately slapped his forehead and scurried off to prepare food for Qingning.

“Licking dog, licking dog, licks them until finally left with nothing.” (TLN: Someone who excessively flatters or serves others without self-respect, often without gaining anything in return.)

The voice in his mind appeared again.

Lin Feng couldn’t be bothered to respond and after skewering the snake meat, he handed it to Qingning.

After taking a bite, Qingning praised, “The meat is tender and fragrant. Delicious! Lin Senior Brother, you’re really amazing!”

Lin Feng smirked smugly to himself, thinking, “Old Man Tianji, did you see that? This girl has already been won over by me! Just look at the way she gazes at me. It’s full of admiration!”

“Hmph!” Old Master Tianji scoffed, unimpressed.

Lin Feng couldn’t be bothered to argue with him.

Seeing that Qingning had almost finished eating, Lin Feng asked, “Junior Sister Qingning, can you tell me about the Ninth Peak of the Jiuyan Sect? I’m about to join the Ninth Peak, so I should learn a bit about it.”

“Sure.”

Wiping the grease from the corner of her mouth, Qingning earnestly said, “The Ninth Peak’s Peak Master, who is also my direct master, is a great beauty!”

“How beautiful? As beautiful as you?” Lin Feng immediately followed up.

“Senior Brother Lin, you’re joking again!”

Qingning shook her head and said seriously, “Compared to my master, I am but a firefly in the night, while she is the bright moon in the sky!”

“Hiss—!”

Lin Feng took in a sharp breath!

If Qingning was already so beautiful, then how celestial must his yet-to-meet master be?

“Fifth Junior Sister has the bearing of an empress, and her beauty could topple cities and nations!” Qingning added.

“Wow!!” Lin Feng was even more excited.

Three great beauties in one peak, this was truly like a dreamland of paradise!

“Fourth Junior Brother has a somewhat dull personality, but he possesses the Martial Emperor Physique.”

“Oh.”

“Second Senior Brother is amazing. He has the Innate Dao Bone, and it’s even the rib bone close to the heart! However, he prefers reading and seeks to prove his worth through literary path.”

“Oh.”

Lin Feng’s reaction was still quite indifferent, clearly uninterested in men.

“Anything else?” Lin Feng asked.

“There’s also…”

Qingning’s eyes suddenly dimmed.

“…there also Eldest Senior Brother, but I don’t want to talk about him.”
