Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Chapter 540 - 200: Huang, Let’s Just Submit

Celestial Phoenix Mountain.

Phoenix Maiden Peak.

On the picturesque peak, there was only one courtyard.

This was the residence of generations of Phoenix Maidens.

It was already late at night, and the Celestial Phoenix Maiden walked into her small courtyard in a daze, her eyes lifeless, like a walking corpse.

The words Xia Qinglian had just said to her kept echoing in her mind.

If that man’s cultivation improved, she could also obtain stronger power and even successfully transform into an Ancient Divine Phoenix.

But by doing so, wouldn’t she be completely reduced to someone else’s servant?

Was she really going to acknowledge that man as her master for the sake of power?

She was the Celestial Phoenix Maiden!

A descendant of the Ancient Divine Phoenix!

How could she abandon her dignity like this?!

However, she was already under someone’s control, and she had to beg that man for his Essence every month to survive.

What dignity could she talk about then?

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden had displayed extraordinary talent since she was young, trained as the new generation’s Phoenix Maiden.

Before meeting Xia Qinglian, her cultivation path could be described as smooth sailing.

The previous generation’s Phoenix Maiden had said that she was the most talented person of the Phoenix Race in thousands of years, the hope to revive the Ancient Divine Phoenix rested on her.

Everyone had high hopes for her, her clansmen, her sister had been protective of her since childhood.

She never lacked any cultivation resources she needed.

As a child, she even naively thought that Celestial Phoenix Mountain was the number one sect in the world, or how else could there be so many cultivation resources?

Later, she found out that it was the entire force of Celestial Phoenix Mountain supporting just her alone.

Thus, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden practiced even more diligently.

After coming of age, she needed to absorb men’s Essence to continue enhancing her cultivation. She disliked interacting with men, but for her sister and clansmen’s expectations, she accepted this disgraceful cultivation method.

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden descended the mountain for battle for the first time. With a First-Layer Golden Core cultivation, she easily defeated a Third-Layer Golden Core cultivator.

She quickly gained fame in the South Demon’s territory, and everything developed in the direction everyone expected.

Until she met Xia Qinglian.

That day, she finally understood the saying ’There is always someone better.’

Renowned as the greatest genius of the Phoenix Race in thousands of years, she couldn’t even last thirty seconds in front of that woman.

At that moment, all her pride shattered.

She thought that was the greatest humiliation of her life.

But now, recalling that state of mind, she found it ridiculous.

You thought losing once was the greatest humiliation, little did you know, you would lose even more miserably and even become someone else’s servant.

Creak.

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden pushed the courtyard door open, dragging her weary body into the courtyard, suddenly looking up:

"Sister Zhu Lin?"

Zhu Lin sat at the tea table under a tree in the courtyard, her expression peculiar, her eyes deep:

"Little Phoenix, where did you go?"

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden silently walked up to Zhu Lin and sat down, her face confused: "Sister, I don’t know what to do."

Then she recounted what had just happened, feeling more and more aggrieved as she spoke, tears falling uncontrollably.

"He Zhiqiu’s wife is actually Xia Qinglian?!"

Zhu Lin was shocked, but her expression became even more peculiar, and the Celestial Phoenix Maiden wiped her tears and said:

"He relies on Xia Qinglian to bully me, it’s all Xia Qinglian teaching him how to counter the Celestial Phoenix Technique!"

Zhu Lin’s expression was uncertain for a long time before she sighed:

"Little Phoenix, we... we might as well go along with it."

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden looked at her in shock: "Sister Zhu Lin, you mean, you really want me to become that He Zhiqiu’s servant?"

Zhu Lin was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "I just saw that Ye Xiyue was in his room, calling herself a servant."

"What?!"

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s eyes widened in disbelief and said: "Ye Xiyue?! She’s a fairy of the present age, on par with Xia Qinglian! How could she possibly be that man’s servant?!"

Zhu Lin said: "But isn’t Xia Qinglian also his wife?"

"..."

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden fell silent.

Zhu Lin took her hand, softly saying: "Little Phoenix, the Celestial Fall Sect is eyeing us, they’ll attack Celestial Phoenix Mountain sooner or later. Even if you can escape, the other sisters will become the Celestial Fall Sect’s sexual partners."

"He Zhiqiu has two present-age fairies serving him, he must have extraordinary abilities. Following someone like him might not be a bad thing."

"Perhaps, it will also resolve the threat from the Celestial Fall Sect."

Zhu Lin’s voice was gentle and steady. The Celestial Phoenix Maiden hung her head, biting her lip:

"Sister, you’re asking me to acknowledge him as my master?"

Zhu Lin sighed: "Little Phoenix, even if you’re unwilling to follow him, you need his Essence every month to live. We no longer have the right to be proud."

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden sat dazedly, tears streaming down her face.

Zhu Lin said nothing more, quietly accompanying her. After a long time, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden wiped her tears, slowly standing up.

"Sister, I understand."

...

In Qin Gengyun’s room.

"Was there a woman here just now?"

Qiu Zhihe sat at the bedside, frowning as she coldly looked at Qin Gengyun.

"Wife, it was Jian Yue. I’ve already sent her away."

Qin Gengyun wiped his sweat. His wife’s senses were too keen, weren’t they?

Qiu Zhihe’s expression finally eased. Qin Gengyun said: "Wife, let’s sleep."

"Wait a minute." Qiu Zhihe said: "There should be others coming tonight."

"Others are coming?"

Qin Gengyun was puzzled, then there was a knock on the door outside.

"Is there really someone here?" Qin Gengyun looked at Qiu Zhihe in surprise.

Qiu Zhihe got up and opened the door, seeing the Celestial Phoenix Maiden and Zhu Lin standing outside.

"Taoist Friend, sorry to disturb you, we have something we want to say to Taoist Friend He."

Zhu Lin bowed slightly to Qiu Zhihe, and Qiu Zhihe seemed not at all surprised at their arrival, stepping aside to let them in.

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden followed behind Zhu Lin, very coy, and Zhu Lin said to Qin Gengyun:

"Taoist Friend He, from now on Little Phoenix is yours, Celestial Phoenix Mountain is also at your disposal, we only hope that if Celestial Phoenix Mountain faces difficulty in the future, you will lend a hand."

Qin Gengyun was surprised, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden lowered her head and emerged shyly from behind Zhu Lin, her beautiful face blushing with shame, finally making up her mind, she gracefully saluted Qin Gengyun:

"Master."

Qin Gengyun was taken aback: "What did you call me?"

After calling out that once, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden seemed to let go, raised her head, and said loudly:

"From today on, you are my master! I will follow you always!"

Qin Gengyun was a little confused for a moment, looked at Qiu Zhihe beside him, only to see his wife sitting demurely, holding a cup of tea, her expression calm, she said indifferently:

"Husband, you need to provide her Essence every month, so she has to follow you, but Zhenyang Sect will not accept people from the Demon Sect, she must not reveal her true identity."

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden angrily said: "What do you mean?"

Qiu Zhihe glanced at her, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden bit her lip and bowed her head, saying: "I don’t understand, please enlighten me, Madam."

Qiu Zhihe was satisfied, sipped her tea, and slowly said:

"I have a method to hide your identity, allowing you to follow us into Zhenyang Sect. Are you willing?"
