Chapter 444: Chapter 444: She is the Devil Concubine

Three months had passed but Ning Fan had yet to leave the Buddha Tower.

He held Mu Weiliang’s hands and channeled his magic power into her, helping her complete the initial stage of assimilating the seven True Buddha Relics.

Yes. It was just the initial stage of assimilation. Mu Weiliang would only be revived once she completely assimilates the seven relics.

Even though she was still unconscious, Mu Weiliang could clearly feel the warmth of Ning Fan’s palms.

“Light, wait for me…” She kept murmuring in her dream. She really looked forward to their true reunion.

After slumbering for one hundred and fifty million years, she only got the opportunity to take a glimpse of Ning Fan in the Star Palace. It was far from enough to relieve her longing for him.

She missed Ning Fan very much…

She knew that she would only have the right to stay by his side when she truly wakes up.

In just three months of slumber, Mu Weiliang’s Sea of Consciousness had recovered by one percent. Perhaps after slumbering for another twenty to thirty years, she could then fully awaken.

Ning Fan could, without a doubt, wait for that moment to come.

To cultivators, a period of twenty to thirty years would pass by as quick as flicking a finger.

Compared to the one hundred and fifty million years that she had waited for him, thirty years was far too insignificant in comparison.

Ning Fan took out the jade-green ancient coffin. It was the ancient coffin which had accompanied Mu Weiliang for countless lonely nights.

With Ning Fan’s current knowledge, he could see that this green coffin had the same profoundness as the Heaven Evading Coffin which Old Devil used to keep his beloved woman.

It was not due to how precious the materials used to build this coffin. Instead, it was the magical effect of it. It was infused with the elements of the Heavenly Dao which allows it to conceal secrets from the heavens. It could deceive others of the life and death of the person inside the coffin and has an additional life-nourishing effect.

Inside this coffin, there was also a trace of extremely obscure spirit sense. This spirit sense had a feeling of melancholy. With Ning Fan’s current cultivation base, he could only vaguely sense its presence.

“The qi of this spirit sense… belongs to Weiliang…”

Ning Fan remained silent. He finally understood why Nan Yangzi could not open the green coffin no matter how hard he tried while he could directly open it with ease.

It was because when Mu Weiliang was at the brink of death, she got into the green coffin and sealed herself within it.

It was because Mu Weiliang had infused her spirit sense in the coffin that it would only allow the person she had been waiting for to open it and bring her to her next life.

The person whom she had been waiting for was none other than Ning Fan.

This coffin could retain the life force of the physical body of the individual who sleeps in it. Thus, even though one hundred million years had passed, the body of the individual would not decay.

To Mu Weiliang who was now waiting to be revived, the more the life force in her physical body, the better it is for her.

By sleeping inside the green coffin, the amount of time she needs for her revival would be much shorter compared to sleeping outside of it.

Ning Fan placed her inside the green coffin and closed the lid. Then, he carefully placed her inside the Yuan Yao World.

In order to provide a serene environment for Mu Weiliang’s recovery, Ning Fan had even moved the corpse of the Realm Beast that had been cut into half in the Yuan Yao World to a certain unoccupied area in his Cauldron Ring.

In the Star Palace, Ning Fan had discovered the medicinal garden of the Ancient Heavenly Court. It was already in ruins. However, the female corpse was extremely fond of that place that time and even requested for him to bring it with them.

Ning Fan had placed the medicinal garden into the Yuan Yao World and planted different types of spiritual herbs which had different colors in it. He placed the green coffin at the center of the garden where colorful butterflies flew and danced among the plants.

One day, when Mu Weiliang wakes up, the first thing she would see as soon as she opens her eyes would be her favorite garden and scenery.

Three months later, Ning Fan left the Buddha Tower with injuries all over his body. If he still didn’t come out of the tower, Yue Lingkong would probably be worried sick about him.

For three whole months, Ning Fan was busy with the matter of Mu Weiliang’s revival from beginning to end. He never had the chance to deal with the wounds on his body.

The devil qi in his primordial spirit had already dissipated completely and he could go into his devil form anytime he wanted.

As for the hundreds of wounds on his body, all of them disappeared due to his monstrous self-healing ability.

All of the scars were gone except for the row of tiny bite marks on his arm. It had been left by Mu Weiliang and Ning Fan was unwilling to erase these bite marks.

After Ning Fan left the Buddha Tower in one piece, Yue Lingkong who had been guarding outside the tower for three whole months finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing Ning Fan walk out of the tower alone without Mu Weiliang by his side, Yue Lingkong was rather concerned.

“Little Cucumber, where’s Weiliang? Is she okay?”

“Don’t worry. She is fine. She is much better than what I had expected. You, however, have become thinner after not seeing you for three months.” Ning Fan gently stroked Yue Lingkong’s face. When he saw her face which looked rather haggard, he spoke with a hint of sympathy in his voice.

“Let’s go. Come and rest with me. As for Fellow Daoist Xuan, I know you have a lot of questions for me. Three days later, I will have a meeting with you.”

Ning Fan was aware that even though Xuan Yi did not dare to show his dissatisfaction of the Buddha Tower’s destruction, he would certainly have a lot of doubts about it.

Ning Fan did not want to tell Xuan Yi that he had taken away the seven relics of the tower. However, he also did not have the intention to conceal the fact that he had indeed destroyed the tower.

He stored the four spiritual puppets and held Yue Lingkong’s hands. Both of them left in front of the eyes of experts of the Six-Winged Clan yet no one dared to stop them.

Ning Fan did not leave the Six-Winged Clan. He merely returned to the guest house. This relieved Xuan Yi and he did not give up on his plan of subordinating his entire clan to Ning Fan.

Ning Fan did not even change his clothes at all after his deathly battles in the Buddha Tower. His body was still stained with blood.

Under Yue Lingkong’s care, Ning Fan took a bath and put on some clean clothes. Then, he slept together with Yue Lingkong on the same bed.

With Yue Lingkong’s arrogance, she had never helped anyone take a bath before in her entire life. However, when Ning Fan requested for her to do so, she helplessly realized how difficult it was to turn down his request.

“Detestable! I am actually being ordered around by Little Cucumber. This is unusual!”

She obediently helped Ning Fan wash his whole body while cursing under her breath. Her attitude really contradicted her actions.

When Ning Fan dragged her to bed, she actually did not want to resist. Her body’s reaction was rather shocking to her. Could it be that she subconsciously wants to do something with Ning Fan?

“Little Cucumber, I want to sleep alone… I’m tired…” What she said with her mouth did not align with her inner desires.

“I understand that you are exhausted. You have been standing guard for me for three consecutive months. Thank you for all of your hard work. Now, I should reward you for your effort, shouldn’t I?” Ning Fan showed her an ambiguous smile.

“Rewarding me? Humph!? I don’t need a reward!” Yue Lingkong’s eyes looked away coldly. She was discontented. She was really discontented with what Ning Fan was thinking about her.

Could it be that in Ning Fan’s eyes, she was just an outsider? Does she really need a reward from just helping him a little? Why does he treat her so politely as if she was an outsider?

“You really don’t want to be rewarded?” Ning Fan’s eyes looked at her more attentively.

“No! Get lost!” If it wasn’t because she was the one lying down at the side of the bed, she would have really kicked Ning Fan out of the bed. How dare he treat her like that? Has he grown tired of living?

“Even if I want to reward you ‘physically’?” Ning Fan deliberately emphasized the last word.

All of a sudden, Yue Lingkong held all of the anger in her stomach as her face turned red.

“W-What do you mean…” She actually desired this kind of reward.

“I mean this…” Ning Fan caressed Yue Lingkong’s body with his large hand. Then, he turned, got on top of her and pressed his lips against hers.

She felt like she got an electric shock. Her whole body softened all of a sudden with both of her cheeks burning hot.

Even though she had already done it with Ning Fan, it had been a painful experience for her. Moreover, at the latter half of that activity, she became unconscious. Now, she did not know how to respond to his kiss.

Ning Fan opened the buttons on her clothes one after another and lifted her pleated skirt.

“Mm…”

Yue Lingkong let out a gentle moan as her long beautiful eyes became watery as if water was trickling down them. They were filled with lust.

“Little Cucumber, I’ve told you that I surely suck you dry. Don’t ever think you will be able to have some sleep tonight.” Yue Lingkong had always been aggressive and stubborn. She turned around and pushed Ning Fan below her. She actually wanted to sit on top of him.

“…As you wish…” Ning Fan was speechless. He had a feeling that he would be violated by Yue Lingkong tonight.

However, a moment later, he suddenly realized that there was nothing wrong even if Yue Lingkong violates him. After all, he was the one who will enjoy it entirely.

With a flick of his finger, he sent out a gentle breeze which extinguished the candlelight in the room and the whole room became filled with darkness.

In the darkness of the night, heavy breathing and moans filled the room.


Three days later, Yue Lingkong whose complexion was glowing with radiance accompanied Ning Fan to look for Xuan Yi.

In the past three days, Ning Fan was able to condense his Primordial Lightning Armor again. Aside from that, he had also managed to erase the “卐” Buddha imprint and was able to conceal himself again using the Heaven Deceiving Cloak.

In the past three days, Ning Fan would sleep with Yue Lingkong on the same bed at night. Every night, he would do his best to give Yue Lingkong a comfortable and exciting “service”.

During her first time, it left her a traumatic experience which was deeply rooted in her mind. However, after doing it for the past three nights, her trauma of that had already been overwritten. What overwritten it was pleasure which made her feel like she was in heaven.

“Little Cucumber, you aren’t half bad… You are the one who can last the longest among those whom I’ve met before!” Yue Lingkong sounded arrogant, as if she had done it a lot with many men before. Actually, she only did a few intimate activities with Ning Fan on the bed. Evidently, she was just trying to impress him by making herself appear more experienced than she actually was.

“… I am a cultivator of the Yin Yang Transformation. Plucking yin is my forte. If you like to do it with me more, I can last even longer. I’m just afraid that you might not be able to stand it and would shout ‘please spare me’…” Ning Fan wore a mischievous smile. In the past three nights, Yue Lingkong experienced what true sexual intercourse was and during those sessions, there was no lack of her pleadings for mercy.

“Did I actually plead for your mercy? You must have a problem with your ears! Just wait. Tonight, we’ll find out!” Yue Lingkong was so angry that she clenched her teeth. She was really dissatisfied with what Ning Fan had said.

Tonight, I must “do” him so hard that he won’t be able to keep up with me to gain my dignity back.

“Hehe. Young Master Zhou and Venerated Moon have a really good relationship. I am in awe.”

Meanwhile, their conversation was suddenly interrupted by a lady who overheard them.

That lady wore a set of pink robes. She walked towards them in an enchanting demeanor and spoke with a sense of humor.

Her long hair was braided and drawn back into a chignon at the back of her head. Her hair was loosely fastened by a jade hairpin and was inserted with a golden hair ornament which had long, dangling pearls hanging down from it. As the breeze blew past her, faint sounds would resound from the pearls colliding with each other.

She had snow-white skin and rosy cheeks. Her eyes were filled with charm and emotion, as if they could speak. The left part of her face had a violet flower tattoo which extended to the hair on her temple. It added a hint of seductiveness to her.

“Miss, you are…” Ning Fan was slightly astonished. He felt like he had not met this lady in the Six-Winged Clan before. However, from her eyes and demeanor, she evidently carried respect and admiration for him. Undeniably, both of them had met before.

When Ning Fan sensed her qi, he found it rather familiar. After giving it some thought, he immediately figured out who this peerless beauty was.

So it turns out that this seductress is actually her.

“Oh, it’s Miss Fen Chi. I didn’t expect for you to have already successfully reconstructed your physical body. It only took you three months to completely reconstruct your body and your newly-constructed body is even nearly flawless. I suppose the members of the Six-Winged Clan have paid a great price to help you reconstruct your physical body. With your identity, I suppose you should not have received such a preferential treatment, shouldn’t you?”

The frown on Ning Fan’s face disappeared. The woman in front of his eyes was undoubtedly Fen Chi, the primordial spirit of the female cultivator whom he had randomly saved in the past.

It was quite unexpected to see that the battered and spiritless primordial spirit would actually be so attractive after reconstructing her physical body. As a matter of fact, she was just a bit inferior to Yue Lingkong.

Somehow, especially after Fen Chi had reconstructed her physical body, Ning Fan felt the insignificant connection between them become even more closer.

While he was observing her from head to toe, the pattern of the six wings on the devil marks behind his back suddenly burned hot.

“I have just managed to reconstruct my physical body. But I didn’t expect for Young Master to actually not recognize me. It seems clear that I am just an insignificant person in Young Master’s heart…”

The women of the devil race were much more open-minded compared to the women of the demon race.

Fen Chi words to Ning Fan were actually quite flirtatious. However, there was also a hint of disappointment in her eyes. She did not fake that expression. It seemed like the fact that Ning Fan could not recognize her just now had somewhat disappointed her.

But when she recalled Xuan Yi’s order, she calmed herself down and said while throwing coquettish glances at Ning Fan.

“Young Master, please follow me. The great elder has been waiting for Young Master at the Wings Forest Pavilion since early morning. He has something to tell you.”

“Is Fellow Daoist Xuan going to tell me about the secret that he mentioned to me that day? I am quite curious what secret Fellow Daoist Xuan has which gave him confidence to make me accept the Six-Winged Clan.”

“I don’t know what the great elder wants to tell to Young Master. However, I believe that it won’t disappoint Young Master.” Fen Chi shook her head. She had no idea what the great elder’s intention was.

While they were talking, they arrived at the Wings Forest Pavilion. This place used to be the most secretive place of the Six-Winged Clan but it had no guards on duty at all today. Xuan Yi had dismissed all of the guards. He was probably afraid that someone would be eavesdropping on the secret he was about to tell to Ning Fan.

On the other hand, Xuan Yi seemed to have high trust in Ning Fan as he was not afraid of the latter possibly killing him since he was meeting him alone.

Come to think of it, it was reasonable as well. Now, Xuan Yi was just at the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm. If Ning Fan really harbored the intention to kill him, how could placing a few more guards around him stop Ning Fan from acting?

“We’ve arrived at the Wings Forest Pavilion. Young Master Zhou and Venerated Moon, please enter. I’m only responsible for guiding you here and do not have the right to join your meeting with the great elder. Please excuse me.”

The three of them had stopped outside the Wings Forest Pavilion. Then, Fen Chi gently curtsied and excused herself. She secretly glanced at Ning Fan with eyes filled with affection.

“Wait, Fen Chi… You should come too. You are related to the matter that we are going to discuss today!” Xuan Yi’s voice resounded from within the Wings Forest Pavilion. He spoke with hesitation, as if he had made a difficult decision.

“Yes.” Fen Chi would, of course, not dare to defy the order of the great elder. Along with Ning Fan and Yue Lingkong, they pushed the door open and went into the hall. However, Fen Chi fell behind a few steps as she would not dare to walk shoulder to shoulder with the two of them because she was being mindful of the difference between their status and hers.

Countless thoughts were running across Ning Fan’s mind. He was guessing what exactly the secret Xuan Yi had mentioned to him and how it was related to Fen Chi….

Xuan Yi was not in a hurry to go straight to the point. It seemed like he was still trying to make up his mind. He was checking on the small stove which was made of red clay and making spiritual tea. When it was done, he poured tea for everyone.

After they drank three cups of tea, Ning Fan was still as calm and collected as before while sipping spiritual tea with Yue Lingkong. As for Xuan Yi, he chuckled awkwardly. He was feeling a little uneasy. He put down his tea cup and cupped his fists towards Ning Fan.

“Fellow Daoist Zhou, if I may be so bold to ask, what happened inside the Buddha Tower? Why would the tower… be destroyed?”

“I don’t know.” Ning Fan smiled faintly and took a sip of tea. He just replied that he didn’t know and pushed all of the responsibility aside.

Ning Fan believed that Xuan Yi must have investigated the ruins of the Buddha Tower but he must not have found any clues as to why the tower had been destroyed.

Ning Fan also believed that even if he didn’t say anything, Xuan Yi would also not continue looking into the cause of the tower’s destruction. Xuan Yi was a smart person. Since the Buddha Tower had already been destroyed and the Six-Winged Clan was declining, it would be unwise to make a frighteningly strong enemy out of Ning Fan because of a destroyed tower.

Besides, what Xuan Yi found difficult to decide was not the matter about the Buddha Tower. Since Ning Fan was unwilling to tell, he would also not ask him as well. As for the next thing that he was going to say, it was the main topic.

“Since Fellow Daoist doesn’t know the cause of the tower’s destruction, I suppose that it was just the same with the broken ancient statues which was just an accident and had nothing to do with Fellow Daoist. Actually, what I wanted to discuss with you today isn’t about the Buddha Tower. Today, the Six-Winged Clan’s fate is as precarious as a pile of eggs. We face the threat of being invaded and conquered by the Mist Horn Clan and the Ghost Eye Clan. That is why I sincerely request Fellow Daoist Zhou to reconsider in your decision to allow my Six-Winged Clan to join you as your subordinates.”

“What benefits will I get by doing so?” Ning Fan put down his tea cup as his expression turned serious. Whether or not to accept the Six-Winged Clan still depended on whether the following words that Xuan Yi would say could change his mind or not.

“Fellow Daoist, have you heard of Great Emperor Mo Luo who was one of the nine ancestors of the devil race?”

“Somewhat.”

“Then, do you know that Great Emperor Mo Luo had four great slaves which are Ju Mo (Giant Devil Clan), Liu Yi (Six-Winged Clan), Gui Mu (Ghost Eye Clan) and Lan Jiao (Mist Horn Clan)…?”

“No. Never heard of it before.” Ning Fan lied. The four clans that had been enslaved by Mo Luo was a close-guarded secret. Thus, it was only reasonable that he did not know about it.

“Is that so? Fellow Daoist Zhou might not know about this but the earliest ancestor of my Six-Winged Clan was once the slave of Great Emperor Mo Luo. Of course, it’s rather unbearable to recall the process of our enslavement. However, ever since our ancestor became one of Great Emperor Mo Luo’s slaves, all of the members that my Six-Winged Clan had given birth to were born with Mo Luo’s slave marks. It means that we are all Mo Luo’s slaves and our life and death are in his hands. The reason I was reluctant to hand over the devil statue slate was because it probably contained the method to crack the slave marks… Unfortunately, I could not keep the slate in the end…”

Xuan Yi sighed dejectedly. Ning Fan, on the other hand, remained unaffected and coldly said.

“In the world of cultivation, the strong survive while the weak die. Since there are battles, there are bound to be victors and losers. Fellow Daoist Xuan might have lost the slate, but you have at least protected the Six-Winged Clan from being annihilated. It can already be considered fortunate in the end.”

“Fellow Daoist Zhou is absolutely right. Since I have lost the slate, I no longer placed any hope in finding a solution for the slave marks. Even though the Six-Winged Clan survived by chance because of Fellow Daoist’s esteemed reputation, as soon as Fellow Daoist leaves, I don’t know how many people would be more than willing to take over my clan. Therefore, my clan really needs Fellow Daoist’s protection…”

“A straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. Fellow Daoist Xuan, let’s get straight to the point. What secret are you willing to tell me in exchange for my protection.” Ning Fan shook his head and said directly.

“If Fellow Daoist Zhou is willing to allow my Six-Winged Clan to join under you, I will give the order to betroth Elder Fen Chi to Fellow Daoist as your concubine!”

“My concubine?!”

Ning Fan and Yue Lingkong’s expressions were filled with surprise. Xuan Yi shouldn’t be thinking that he could obtain Ning Fan’s protection by giving out a beautiful lady, should he?

No. It wasn’t right.

Ning Fan recalled the strange connection between him and Fen Chi and he suddenly realized that even though her cultivation base was not that high, her identity must be somewhat unique.

“Great Elder, I-I…”

Fen Chi’s face turned as red as a tomato. She immediately rose to her feet and did not know how to respond. She had never expected that the great elder would betroth her to someone.

Xuan Yi waved his hand and interrupted Fen Chi. Seeing Ning Fan remain as calm as usual without giving an answer, he nodded his head.

The calm expression on Ning Fan’s face meant that he was not tempted by her beauty. If Fen Chi was just a beautiful lady, giving her to Ning Fan would not arouse his interest.

In addition, the fact that Ning Fan did not give an answer right away showed that he more or less had figured out that Fen Chi had a unique identity. That’s why he did not immediately refuse his offer.

Ning Fan was waiting for an explanation from Xuan Yi. Of course, he was waiting for him to explain about Fen Chi’s identity.

If Ning Fan was not wrong, the secret that Xuan Yi said would be useful in improving his strength must be related to Fen Chi.

“Does Fellow Daoist Zhou know that all members in the four great enslaved clans are born with slave marks except for one woman in each of the clans… Once in a few generations, a woman who is free from the slave marks will be born in the four clans. Other than having no slave marks, she is born with unique abilities which could help these devil clans improve their strength. She is the most important individual who can decide the prosperity and strength of the four clans.”

“During the era where Great Emperor Mo Luo was still alive, as soon as this kind of woman appeared, they would be crowned as the ‘Devil Concubine’!”

“It is only possible for the next Devil Concubine to be born when the previous Devil Concubine passes away. The two generations of Devil Concubines are not directly related to each other. In the same era, the four great clans can give birth to four Devil Concubines in total!”

“Fen Chi is the Devil Concubine of my Six-Winged Clan that was born in this generation. In the whole clan, I’m the only one who knows of this secret!”

As soon as Xuan Yi finished speaking, he looked deeply at Fen Chi and sighed helplessly. It seemed like betrothing her to Ning Fan would be a great loss to the Six-Winged Clan.

“A Devil Concubine?”

Ning Fan glanced at Fen Chi with eyes filled with astonishment.

Fen Chi’s identity had indeed gone beyond Ning Fan’s expectation.

Meanwhile, Ning Fan was interested to know what benefits her identity as the Devil Concubine would bring him and how she could help him improve his strength.
