Chapter 54

The cultivators didn’t care about formalities.

Yun Ge glanced at the wedding dress sent by the sect’s disciples. The snow-white garment was adorned with delicate light-colored embroidered flowers. Without a closer look, one wouldn’t notice.

That was Yun Ge’s first time seeing a wedding dress in the cultivation world. She couldn’t help but think, why does it look so much like mourning attire?

Ah, cursing oneself like this, is it okay?

Huan Mo had unfolded the neatly folded snow-white wedding dress.

“Isn’t it beautiful?” Yun Ge looked at the wedding dress. At that moment, she realized how foolish her earlier thought was, thinking that the attire resembled mourning clothes.

“Does Master like it?” Huan Mo’s gaze remained on the wedding dress, not lifting her head to look at Yun Ge, her voice so soft it seemed like an illusion to Yun Ge.

Yun Ge chuckled, teasing, “Does Mo Mo want to wear it too?”

Huan Mo’s hand brushed over the delicate embroidery, without speaking, nor lifting her head to look at Yun Ge. Her movements were gentle, even trembling slightly.

Seeing Huan Mo not lifting her head, Yun Ge thought she was shy. “Don’t be shy. When Master comes back, if you’ve taken a liking to someone, Master will personally dress you in a wedding dress.” Yun Ge said as she touched Huan Mo’s head.

Huan Mo’s body stiffened, leaving only a sentence before leaving, “Master, I’ll go to the back mountain to check on the Ice Spirit Beast…” and then she left in a hurry.

Yun Ge watched Huan Mo’s departing figure and chuckled. She was still a little girl who couldn’t make any jokes!

………………………………………………………………….

On the other side, Lin Yuan was close to tears. What major event had occurred in the plot? Why were there demonic cultivators in her cave?!

That was terrible! As the author, didn’t she know her own world’s setting? Cultivators and demons were irreconcilable existences!

If it were known that there were demonic cultivators hidden in her cave, she might as well not live anymore! Moreover, Elder Lian would likely be implicated!

“Beasts…” Lin Yuan thought as she hid her body behind the Ice Spirit Beast.

The Ice Spirit Beast glanced at the demonic cultivators in front of it, who were barely alive, then glanced at the incompetent fool beside it, and closed its eyes, ignoring them.

“Um…” Lin Yuan saw that the Ice Spirit Beast didn’t want to bother with her, which she didn’t mind. She was accustomed to being abused by the Ice Spirit Beast, so she poked the nearby divine beast. She didn’t know what Huan Mo had done to him, but the originally incorporeal white tiger now had its form.

The white tiger, just returned from the demonic realm, lifted its head when it felt Lin Yuan poking it. Seeing it was Lin Yuan, a harmless cultivator, it swiped its tail over.

Lin Yuan, seeing the approaching tail, closed her eyes. She was often beaten by the Ice Spirit Beast and had grown accustomed to being abused. Creatures like the Ice Spirit Beast and the white tiger were unavoidable for her.

But the pain didn’t come as expected. Trembling, she opened her eyes only to see the proud tail of the white tiger turning into a large ice stick…

Then she was swiped by the Ice Spirit Beast and landed not far away.

Lin Yuan had only one thought: to turn around and bury herself in the long fur, “Hero!”

“…” The ice spirit beast didn’t even spare a glance at Lin Yuan, continuing to close its eyes.

Lin Yuan wasn’t about to let that opportunity slip by. “Beast! Tell me, what does the master want with these few demon cultivators?” She couldn’t figure out what the protagonist, who had turned so dark even her mother wouldn’t recognize her, was up to.

The ice spirit beast opened its eyes, glanced at Lin Yuan, and then closed them again.

It was because of that glance that Lin Yuan, who wasn’t prepared to attend the Yunfu Sect’s Taoist Ceremony, where her friend Yun Ge was supposed to go alone, was now being taken there by the ice spirit beast. It was too foolish; if they weren’t careful, they wouldn’t even know if they were being eaten!

Although cultivators didn’t pay much attention to formalities, the Taoist Ceremony was attended by representatives from almost all the major sects in the cultivation world, mainly because of the heir of the Guiyi Sect.

The ceremony was held at the Guiyi Sect.

Honestly, if the so-called Taoist Ceremony was anything like a modern wedding, Yun Ge felt she would have abandoned the plan and come up with a new one nine times out of ten.

The ceremony was very simple. Rather than being about Yun Ge and Ming Xuan, it was more about the Yunfu Sect and the Guiyi Sect. Yun Ge only had a few words to say, with the rest of the time spent on interactions between sects.

So Yun Ge was quite relaxed, with no sense of nervousness at all.

When Yun Ge came out, she walked alongside Ming Xuan. Her first reaction was to look for her disciple, but she didn’t see the figure of Huan Mo.

Nor did she see Lin Yuan; Yun Ge assumed Huan Mo had been called away by Lin Yuan to play.

“Hold my hand,” Ming Xuan’s voice came over. Yun Ge hesitated for a moment. All eyes were on them; Elder Lian, the head of the Yunfu Sect, the master of the Guiyi Sect, and a group of junior disciples…

Yun Ge hesitated, but she didn’t reach for Ming Xuan’s hand. To her, the so-called Taoist Ceremony meant nothing. She wasn’t a rigid person. For her, it was just a means to an end; nothing else mattered.

She always saw the man as someone she could use, but not as someone she could get close to as a romantic partner.

In a moment of hesitation, Ming Xuan had taken Yun Ge’s hand.

“Master!!” A clear voice rang out.

When Yun Ge heard the voice, she felt a sense of joy. It was probably because the little disciple rarely left her sight; if she didn’t see her, she always felt uneasy.

Turning around, she saw her little disciple with red eyes…

Wait a minute!!! Red eyes!!!

Elder Lian was the first to react. “Demon cultivator!!”

The others were stunned, not grasping the situation.

Yun Ge also thought of it, but she thought of more. Her disciple was a Buddhist cultivator, she was very sure. But what was happening now? Did the aftermath of using her Buddha’s body to save herself that time leave a mark?

That was Yun Ge’s first reaction.

Huan Mo could only see the slender hand-held by Ming Xuan.

That was her master! Her master alone!

Huan Mo’s face, she still wore a mask, so there was no expression on her face. However, she stood not far from Yun Ge, emanating an indescribable viciousness from within, her eyes truly belonging to Huan Mo, devoid of their usual clarity and purity, now filled only with fierceness, cruelty, coldness, and bloodthirstiness…

Yun Ge was frightened by such a gaze, and others were on guard as well, no one dared to act.

Yet Yun Ge moved, almost reflexively rushing over. Ming Xuan regained his senses and tried to grab Yun Ge, but only managed to touch the fluttering corner of her clothes as she ran past.

“Mo Mo?” Yun Ge ran over and hugged her, extending her spiritual power to check if there was anything wrong with Huan Mo’s body.

At that moment, the people around also reacted.

The first to speak was the head of the Guiyi Sect. “A demonic cultivator?!” His tone was uncertain because there was no demonic energy emanating from Huan Mo, only those red eyes typical of demonic cultivators…

The head of the Guiyi Sect was cautious. His caution wasn’t just because the other party was from the Yunfu Sect but also because she was the disciple of someone on the path to becoming the future head of their sect. Moreover, today was the ceremony for that person’s ascension.

Demonic cultivators hadn’t appeared for many years. If they truly emerged now, it would cause turmoil throughout the cultivation world. So, the sect head was more cautious than anyone else, hoping that the beautiful woman with red eyes wasn’t a demonic cultivator.

“Sect Master, my disciple is not a demonic cultivator.” Yun Ge didn’t have many twists and turns in her mind, but hearing the sect master of the Guiyi Sect say that negated it. How could her disciple, who practiced Buddhism, be a demonic cultivator?

“Master…” Huan Mo’s gaze never left Yun Ge.

And at that moment, a terrified voice sounded out.

“Demonic cultivator!”

Before the voice even fell, everyone had been drawn to it.

And just then, an anomaly occurred. Three ordinary disciples of the Guiyi Sect who had been watching from a distance attacked, aiming at Ming Xuan, who was standing behind Yun Ge.

Ming Xuan’s reaction was not slow either. He defended himself, but it was too late. The attacks from the three happened in an instant, and Ming Xuan’s defense only managed to block one person’s attack, while the other two struck him.

The first to act was the head of the Guiyi Sect. Seeing his only heir spitting blood on the ground, his eyes burst with anger, his wrath ignited. All his power gathered into one blow, and then, the three ordinary disciples who had just attacked, collapsed under this blow, reverting to their original forms.

Everyone was shocked. They were indeed demonic cultivators!

Yun Ge was frightened. She had encountered demonic cultivators before. It was these demonic cultivators who had caused her death and departure from the Guiyi Sect’s small realm!

Yun Ge turned around to check Ming Xuan’s condition. However, she was stopped by Huan Mo.

“Mo Mo?” Yun Ge couldn’t free her hand, and on the other side, the head of the Guiyi Sect was furious. He had spent so many years nurturing his successor, only to have someone ruin his dantian…

“Master…” Huan Mo lowered her head, as if the two of them were still in the Yunfu Sect, oblivious to everything around them. All of Huan Mo’s attention was focused on Yun Ge’s right hand, which she held on her own.

“Mo Mo?” Yun Ge thought to herself, what intentions could these three demonic cultivators, who were courting death, have for appearing at that time? If they had died, it would have been fine, but what if they hadn’t? They had all witnessed her death back then, so what would these three demonic cultivators think upon seeing her alive and well now?

“Master, it’s dirty here…” Huan Mo’s tone was gentle, but her hand wiped Yun Ge’s right hand…

“Uh (⊙o⊙)…” Yun Ge looked at her disciple in a daze.

“What’s wrong?” Yun Ge’s tone softened as she once again checked Huan Mo’s body, finding nothing abnormal except for her eyes.

“Yun Ge?” Elder Lian realized that his disciple wasn’t beside Mang Xuan, who was already in a coma and being saved by the Sect Master and several elders, as well as the demonic cultivator who had revealed his true form. So he called out.

Yun Ge also felt she should show some concern for Mang Xuan, “Mo Mo, be good, I’m going to check on Mang Xuan.”

Huan Mo heard that sentence, and the suppressed demonic energy within her surged out in an instant, “So… this is Master’s choice…”

“(⊙o⊙)…” Yun Ge felt like she was going crazy; her disciple had turned into a demonic cultivator! And that sentence… Yun Ge felt like crying, what had she chosen as a master? Don’t be unreasonable, disciple!

Lin Yuan was about to cry; this weirdo wasn’t the female protagonist she had written! No, she understood what Huan Mo was going to do now, but she would rather not have understood!

What kind of choice was that? She hadn’t even told Yun Ge in the first place! Why didn’t you say it? Even asking, “Master, who do you choose between Ming Xuan and me?” or “Between me and this world, who do you choose?” would have been better than being sulky like that! Female lead! Have you used up all your cool points for being edgy and lighting up your acting skills with cuteness?

Lin Yuan was helpless; she could only complain in her heart.

At that moment, Yun Ge also realized that her disciple’s state was not right, especially in front of everyone, revealing demonic energy! That meant she was a demonic cultivator!

“Demonic cultivator!” Except for the Sect Master and elders who were saving Ming Xuan, everyone’s gaze was on Huan Mo.

Yun Ge’s heart skipped a beat; with demonic energy and blood-red eyes, that was something even ten mouths couldn’t explain. Yun Ge didn’t know what had happened to Huan Mo, but now she only had one thought: she had to protect Huan Mo!

There were many Nascent Soul stage cultivators on the scene. Yun Ge thought of something. She scratched Huan Mo’s palm twice. She couldn’t speak; no matter how small her voice was, it couldn’t escape the ears of these cultivators. She could only use this method, then struck Huan Mo with spiritual power, “Demonic cultivator! Where’s my disciple?”

Without a word, Huan Mo’s gaze was already manic…

If Lin Yuan could move, she would cover her face and not watch that scene. She had seen people court death, but she had never seen someone court death to that extent!

Before Yun Ge could take the next step, a Nascent Soul stage elder had made a move. Yun Ge saw that bright yellow spiritual power attack, and her heart rose to her throat. She wanted to stop it but was powerless!

She had thought about grabbing her disciple and discussing with her while no one was paying attention.

How to suppress the demonic aura and blood-colored eyes, and as long as the disciple tore off the mask, she could change her appearance… But unexpectedly, the group of people made a move!

What amazed Yun Ge even more was that her usually weak disciple not only didn’t suffer any losses but took on the attack. Then Yun Ge saw her disciple rushing towards her…

In the next moment, Yun Ge lost consciousness.

The onlookers at the scene were puzzled! Could they say that Yun Ge did a good job in faking death?

The first thing Yun Ge saw when she woke up was… white.

Her head hurt badly. Yun Ge looked around. It was a snowy landscape, all white as far as the eye could see.

Where is this…

Yun Ge snapped back to reality. Today was the day she and Ming Xuan became Dao companions, and then… then! The little disciple turned into a demonic cultivator?!

“Mo Mo?!” Yun Ge remembered the madness she last saw in Huan Mo, startled, and called out.

“Master…” A warm body pressed against her back.

Yun Ge wanted to turn around and look at Huan Mo, “Mo Mo, are you okay?”

Huan Mo hugged her from behind, not allowing Yun Ge to turn around. “Master… you are mine…”

Yun Ge didn’t think much when she heard that sentence before, just thought it was the possessiveness of a child acting up. But now, Yun Ge felt a strange feeling, sending chills down her spine.

“Master looks so beautiful in a wedding dress…” There was an inexplicable sense of wickedness in the tone. Yun Ge couldn’t utter a word…

Feeling guarded all over, with a creepy feeling, at that moment, a warm touch on her neck made Yun Ge unable to bear it anymore. “Huan Mo!!”

“Master looks so beautiful in a wedding dress, but I don’t like Master wearing it to marry someone else…” Huan Mo’s tone remained unchanged, warm and gentle, whispering in Yun Ge’s ear as if speaking sweet nothings.

Yun Ge was covered in goosebumps by her tone.

“Master, can you not wear this?” Huan Mo’s hand fell on Yun Ge’s waist.

Yun Ge had a sense of foreboding, struggled, and escaped from Huan Mo’s embrace.

Turning around, she saw Huan Mo in a white wedding dress, her seductive face no longer concealed by a mask.

“Master, do I look good?” Huan Mo didn’t feel ashamed at all to be seen wearing the same wedding dress as Yun Ge. On the contrary, her face turned red, gently asking, resembling a spring maiden, of course, ignoring the madness in her eyes!

Even if Yun Ge knew nothing at that moment, she understood that there was something wrong with her disciple’s mind. “What’s wrong? Mo Mo?”

“Master wearing this is annoying!” Huan Mo ignored what Yun Ge said, approaching Yun Ge and asking herself.

Yun Ge wanted to run away.

“Master, are you going to abandon me again?”

“(⊙o⊙)…” What does “again” mean? You explain that to me!

“Is Master going to find Ming Xuan?”

Yun Ge couldn’t escape Huan Mo’s palm at all. Her dantian was sealed by something, devoid of any spiritual power. She could only rely on running, but how could she escape from Huan Mo’s control?

Yun Ge watched as the wedding dress on her body tore bit by bit.

The main issue was that the weather was truly freezing! It was a world of ice and snow! And there was no spiritual protection. The only thing keeping her warm was diminishing more and more…

Although Huan Mo’s state of mind wasn’t right, Yun Ge didn’t think Huan Mo would harm her. So, apart from feeling a bit cold, Yun Ge’s concern was focused on Huan Mo’s current condition.

Huan Mo just found that annoying wedding dress unsightly, coupled with Yun Ge resisting her, so she stubbornly insisted on tearing up that annoying wedding dress…

When someone fell on the ice because of the torn wedding dress, the tattered white wedding dress couldn’t cover Yun Ge’s alluring figure anymore…

The tantalizing allure of that faintly discernible beautiful figure aroused deeper desires…

Yun Ge was startled, realizing that Huan Mo’s gaze at that moment was the most terrifying!

“Mo Mo?” Yun Ge knew that Huan Mo’s state of mind wasn’t good at the moment. She probably couldn’t hear anything, but still couldn’t help calling out.

Huan Mo kissed those slightly purple lips frozen from the cold…

Kissed…

Kissed…

Kissed…

Even thunder from the heavens couldn’t compare to this!

Yun Ge struggled to free herself from Huan Mo, but all her struggles only gave Huan Mo a feeling of disgust, as if her mentor despised her…

This person belongs to her, and can only belong to her!

She wanted her to have only her in her eyes and heart, she wanted her to fall in love with her, even if they were both women, even if it was a master-disciple relationship, she wanted to break all constraints and make her belong to her alone!

Yun Ge was scared. The hand caressing her waist… Yun Ge felt a nauseating sensation rising and wanted to push the person of her.

Seeing the fear and unfamiliarity in Yun Ge’s eyes, Huan Mo felt like she had fallen into an endless abyss, utterly beyond redemption. Master… you’re the one who made me fall into this abyss, so come with me! A tear slid down Huan Mo’s beautiful face…

What followed was an entanglement to the bone, a poignant entwinement. Huan Mo wished to merge Yun Ge into her very marrow.

After Yun Ge realized that all resistance was futile, she just stared blankly at the iceberg not far away, where she risked her life to obtain the Heartfruit…

Yun Ge understood that it was a land of extreme cold. Heh… she felt like a fool…

In the world of ice and snow, Yun Ge was like an ice block, with someone with red eyes on top of her. After realizing some things, she stopped resisting, feeling a sense of deadness in her heart. Huan Mo’s fingertips roamed over her body, gentle yet burning with fire, heating Yun Ge’s body, but unable to reach the depths of her heart, which seemed frozen like the ice beneath her…

Originally open but unfocused eyes closed as if evading a sudden intense pain, trembling eyelashes casting a shadow of despair.

A hint of pain flashed in Huan Mo’s eyes but was shrouded by darkness, and then her eyes closed.

“Do you love me?”

Huan Mo once again lowered her head to kiss those tightly closed eyes, with an intensity bordering on despair.

“Is it possible for you to love me?”

Despair swept over her whole body as she looked at Yun Ge, who was covered in red and purple, devoid of any familiar aura…

Her master…

No longer belonged to her… Right?
