Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

That's quite surprising.

"The price is—"

"Let your blond swordsman become a cultivation couple with our young lady."

38. Memory

The wind on the snowy plains of the Far East was colder and more biting than expected.

A chilling aura, fueling the Dragon Cough virus, blew in from all around. Ye Yuchan stood frozen at the foot of the snow-covered mountain, where the Dragon Cough was spreading, when Erhei uttered a single sentence.

Do you want my third senior brother and Yue Jianghan to become a couple in cultivation?

She once thought there was something wrong with her head.

On one side is Yue Jianghan, the princess of the Demon Dynasty, the daughter of one of the two major powers in the current era of immortals and demons.

On one side is Yuntian Academy, which has been declared war on by both the Demon Dynasty and the Immortal Capital, and is hated by the righteous and evil cultivators of the three great heavenly domains.

Two irreconcilable factions, like fire and water, have their daughters and disciples become Daoist couples.

What's going on? Are you trying to be Cupid in Werewolf, creating a werewolf romance with a single arrow?

Ye Yuchan snapped out of her daze and tentatively asked, "You're not joking, are you?"

"In this regard, I can say that I am a man of my word and have never broken my promise." Erhei stared at Ye Yuchan with certainty, his unwavering gaze proving that his words were true: "As long as you are willing to let that blond swordsman cultivate with our young lady, I can naturally let you pass."

"Do not--"

He changed his mind again, adding, "Even helping you deal with that madman on the mountaintop is no problem."

"..."

Ye Yuchan remained silent for a while, staring at Erhei, and said in a deep voice, "Your actions can be considered a betrayal of the Demon Dynasty, right?"

Erhei, however, did not take this to heart and instead said, "The Demon Dynasty has never done me any favors. My life was saved by Miss. I am loyal to Miss, not to the Demon Dynasty."

"Aren't you afraid that the Demon Emperor of the Demon Dynasty will harm you?"

"I have no fear for the sake of Miss's happiness."

Everything Erhei said was true.

Ye Yuchan could see sincerity and determination in Erhei's eyes, emotions that a liar could not express. If he was really lying, then Ye Yuchan felt that his acting skills were too outstanding.

Would someone even rebel against the Water Demon Dynasty for their master?

These are indeed the words of an extremely loyal servant, a loyalty and sincerity that heaven and earth can attest to.

Erhei stared intently at Ye Yuchan, then waved his hand.

Suddenly, the black mist spread outwards.

Strangely, the terrifying demonic aura did not harm Ye Yuchan in the slightest—from the very beginning, it simply swept past her from behind, leaving no trace.

After a brief silence, Ye Yuchan noticed that the surging demonic energy that had gathered behind her was gradually disappearing.

Ye Yuchan knew very well what this meant.

“I have already dealt with those demonic cultivators who came because of your violent behavior. That is my sincerity.”

Erhei wasn't lying; he did indeed send all the demonic cultivators who had come to check on the situation back to their caves.

Otherwise, countless demonic cultivators would attack them. Although they might not be a match for them given their cultivation level, the trouble they would create would certainly be a headache.

Ye Yuchan squinted at Erhei.

"So, you're saying I can trade my third senior brother's integrity for an unnecessary battle?"

That's exactly right.

Erhei glanced at Ye Yuchan, then added, "Of course, our young lady is a noblewoman of the Demon Dynasty, so naturally she has a very generous dowry..."

"dowry?!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuchan was startled and quickly slapped her thigh.

The dowry of the Demon Dynasty's daughter is definitely a huge fortune!

"Okay, I agree to the deal!"

As soon as he finished speaking...

Before Erhei's smile could fade, the two black dots in the sky rapidly enlarged.

"I promise you my foot!!"

One flew past Ye Yuchan from the left and one from the right, like missiles crashing down, while at the same time, two fists mercilessly slammed into the back of Ye Yuchan's head.

boom!

The silver-haired girl, who was all smiles just a moment ago, was blasted into the snow-capped mountain a hundred meters away, with half of her body embedded in the snow.

The surging wind and waves ruffled the hair on Erhei's forehead. He twitched his lips slightly, feeling the terrifying snow waves rising into the sky in front of him. His expression was quite a sight to behold.

Why do people these days always seem to fall from the sky?

The heavy snowfall has subsided.

The shattered flying sword turned into iron filings and disappeared.

The black-robed, blond-haired swordsman shook his aching right hand in annoyance.

The girl with cherry-blossom hair and a shrine maiden robe stared at Erhei expressionlessly.

And there was the white-haired, black-rimmed-glasses boy standing behind the two, making the least noise, who was now looking up at the snow-capped mountain peak with a puzzled expression.

The trio from Yuntian Academy finally arrived at their destination, following Ye Yuchan.

Erhei turned around blankly, staring at Ye Yuchan, who was embedded in the snow mountain just like he had been. Seeing her beautiful legs exposed and not moving an inch, he couldn't help but ask, "Is she dead?"

In response, Ye Yuchan's legs suddenly began to kick wildly in the air, her spiritual energy slowly escaping, and her upper body slowly slid out.

The silver-haired girl, covered in dust and dirt, rubbed her throbbing head, gasped for breath, and stared at Jiang Shaoguang and Fan Luokui with a pitiful expression, saying with a mournful face, "No, why did you use so much force? Couldn't you just honestly say 'I have an objection'?"

"Because if Senior Sister Ye doesn't get beaten up, she'll keep saying nonsensical things."

Fan Luokui silently turned her face away, avoiding Ye Yuchan's gaze.

Jiang Shaoguang nodded, agreeing with Fan Luokui's statement: "Based on Ruoxue's past experience of subduing you, the best way to prevent Junior Sister Yuchan from being so sarcastic is to give her a punch."

"Don't follow that crazy girl Ruoxue's example..."

Ye Yuchan rubbed her head, muttering softly, and slowly got up from the ground.

Looking at Ye Yuchan, who hadn't suffered any injuries and only felt pain in her skin, Erhei exclaimed in surprise, "You were hit by two such heavy punches and you're completely unharmed."

"yes--"

Faced with Erhei's surprise, Ye Yuchan simply puffed out her flat chest as if it were perfectly natural and laughed, "I'm just stubborn~"

Erhei: "..."

It seems that there are very few normal people in this Cloud Sky Academy.

He glanced curiously at Ye Yuchan, then, too lazy to think about her almost terrifying physical strength, turned around and looked at Jiang Shaoguang.

At that moment, Jiang Shaoguang suddenly felt an extremely terrifying and sinister killing intent emanating from Erhei.

His body trembled slightly, somewhat puzzled as to why Erhei was so hostile towards him.

Erhei stared coldly at Jiang Shaoguang, then said, "Young Master Jiang, did you hear the conditions I offered?"

Jiang Shaoguang gasped and asked, "Are you referring to the matter of dual cultivation with Miss Yue?"

He paused, his eyes slightly darting away, not daring to look at Fan Luokui beside him, nor at Erhei, and slowly said, "I'm sorry, I will not agree to this. Even if someone else agrees for me, it does not represent my personal opinion."

"Miss Yue is a nice girl, but we're not a good match."

Appeared.

Friend zone warning.

Erhei narrowed his eyes, his tone suddenly turning icy: "Are you saying that our young lady is not good enough for you?"

“It’s just that we’re not a good match…” Jiang Shaoguang shook his head: “And to be honest, I’m not good enough for her. Miss Yue is a noble lady of the Demon Dynasty, while I am just an ordinary disciple of the academy. Our statuses are worlds apart, so it’s not convenient for us to cultivate together and start a family.”

"So you mean we can't reach an agreement?"

As Erhei uttered these words, demonic energy began to surround him.

Several black rings enveloped Erhei's figure. He stood on a patch of black chaos, and his figure gradually floated into the air, looking down at Jiang Shaoguang and the others like a demon god.

Jiang Shaoguang did not answer, but Fan Luokui, who was beside him, silently drew her blade.

The girl with cherry-blossom-colored hair held up the Frost Sunflower Blade. A hint of joy appeared in her pale golden eyes, but more so, there was excitement and determination in facing a powerful enemy.

"As Senior Brother Jiang said, we will not accept your conditions."

"That's such a pity..."

Erhei shook his head helplessly.

"I didn't want to use force, but since you're unwilling to make this deal, I'll have no choice but to take it by force."

Ye Yuchan was stunned upon hearing this: "Forced abduction of a man?"

Erhei glanced at the silver-haired maid girl, his lips twitching. "It sounds strange, but that's essentially how it is."

If you lose, Erhei will take you to Yue Jianghan's boudoir, where he will force you to engage in dual cultivation with this beauty...

For most men, their first reaction to such a situation would be—

Quick, choose me! Choose me! Take me with you, I want to cultivate with you!

But Jiang Shaoguang is Jiang Shaoguang after all. Firstly, he really doesn't have any feelings for Yue Jianghan; secondly, their social statuses aren't exactly a good match; and thirdly...

Jiang Shaoguang worried that if he really agreed, halfway through their wedding night, a knife would fall from the sky, either killing him, Yue Jianghan, or both of them...

This is not a joke.

"Third Senior Brother, Junior Sister Luo Kui."

Just as Jiang Shaoguang was preparing to fight.

Behind him, Gu Xingzhuo suddenly took a step forward, raised his head, and gazed at Erhei, who was standing on black clouds above, with a mystery flickering in his eyes.
