Chapter 185: The Little Demoness Wants to Be a Good Girl, Pretends to Be the Cult Master's Wife for You... (1)
At this moment.
Gu Hanyan just felt that the world was full of strange wonders.
When she sent out the invitation, how could she have known this would happen?
After a brief exchange of familial affection, Su Qing's face showed a hint of hesitation.
"Qing'er, what's wrong?"
Gu Hanyan immediately noticed the change in his expression and asked.
"Aunt, there's actually something else I'd like to ask for your help with."
"That day, you suppressed the soul of that Cult Master's wife, but she still holds the upper hand."
"I'd like to ask you to help treat Long Ye and remove the trace of that soul from her body."
Su Qing's tone carried a bit of embarrassment as he spoke.
"Qing'er, there's no need to be so formal with family. Why be so polite?"
Gu Hanyan's tone had a trace of dissatisfaction, gently guiding him.
She lightly tapped his forehead with her slender finger, expressing a small bit of emotion.
It seemed stern, but Su Qing could clearly feel her tenderness.
Of course she would help with this request.
Helping to treat Long Ye was also a form of revenge against her former senior sister!
As long as it made her suffer even a little, she'd be happy.
In fact, even if Su Qing hadn't brought it up, she would've dealt with it anyway.
Back then, as fellow disciples under the same master, they had a pretty good relationship.
Who would've thought that one would become a traitor to the demonic sect while the other ascended to its head?
No matter how you looked at it, their statuses were now worlds apart.
As Gu Hanyan thought about this, a cold glint flashed through her eyes.
It wasn't that she couldn't bear others being well-off—it's just that... some people couldn't stand seeing her well-off!
She never imagined that someone she saw as an elder sister could be so vicious.
Being born of the demonic path, she was no saint.
Naturally, her heart burned with the desire for revenge.
But the other party's strength and power were now unfathomable.
Under such circumstances, getting revenge would be incredibly difficult.
She had no choice but to hide her identity and wait for the right opportunity.
Originally, she had planned to wait until Gu Qingzhou mastered the Nine Death Heavenly Silkworm Technique, gradually nurturing him to act.
But now, Su Qing had undoubtedly provided a much faster path!
Although Su Qing wasn't particularly strong himself, he did possess formidable influence.
Not long ago, during the Divine Wandering battle, the Empress was blessed by fate and her reputation soared to unprecedented heights.
Realizing this, the demonic sect saintess, who had been wavering, solidified her resolve.
She didn't want to wait anymore!
"Aunt, I understand now."
Su Qing gave a shy smile, looking a bit embarrassed.
"Let's go. We'll take care of this right away."
Gu Hanyan's eyes showed a hint of fondness as she spoke.
No matter how strong one's willpower was, the eyes could still deceive.
If Su Qing were ordinary, she wouldn't feel this satisfied or fulfilled.
It was human nature—inevitable.
They were both decisive people.
Once the decision was made, they immediately took action and returned to White Jade Pavilion.
Su Qing led the way, passing through without obstruction. Quite a few people even greeted him respectfully.
Gu Hanyan still wore her veil, silently following at his side.
She now had a more direct sense of her nephew's power.
Someone like her should normally be considered suspicious.
In a place like this, under normal circumstances, she'd be questioned thoroughly.
At the very least, she'd have to prove her identity before being allowed into the true core of the city.
But not only was she not questioned, she could even feel their envy.
The envy... was it because she was at his side?
Gu Hanyan's heart grew a bit complicated. She didn't know what to feel.
In just a short while, they arrived at the room where the demoness was being held.
Long Ye lay on the bed reading a book, looking utterly bored. Life under confinement was dull.
But there was no helping it—she still had a soul inside her that could seize her body at any time.
Although the Cult Master's wife's soul had already weakened, once it got outside, it could definitely survive.
Right now, all she wanted was to get rid of the hidden threat inside her and make life less boring.
At the very least, could someone come chat with her?
Being alone like this wasn't exactly fun.
The door opened.
The demoness looked over in surprise, her face lighting up. The first person she saw was the young man.
Seeing him gave her a strange sense of calm and reassurance.
However, this wasn't a one-on-one visit—there was also an unfamiliar older woman.
The demoness's eyes instantly showed a hint of hostility.
Forget everything else, just her body—they were not even in the same league!
Who was this curvy vixen, and why was she so much bigger than her?!
"Long Ye, is that you? Prove it."
Su Qing asked.
The demoness: "..."
She glanced at Gu Hanyan, her expression quite a spectacle.
Are you kidding me?!
It's one thing to prove it in private—but why the hell did you bring an audience?!
How am I supposed to say it out loud in front of her?!
The demoness had pride too, okay!
"Oh, let me introduce you—this is my aunt, Gu Hanyan. She's here especially to help you."
"Aunt, this is Long Ye. I'll trouble you to take a look at her."
As if just remembering, Su Qing introduced the flustered demoness.
"Huh?!"
Long Ye's expression instantly turned dumbfounded.
Her eyes that were filled with hostility just moments ago suddenly became panicked.
She didn't even know why she felt this way—but she was suddenly at a total loss.
One had to know, she had been wandering the world for quite a while and met countless people.
So why did she feel so flustered just from this one meeting?
The demoness couldn't figure it out. She couldn't explain it.
"What do you mean 'huh'? Don't be so nervous. Just cooperate and lie down, alright?"
Su Qing looked at the demoness and pointed toward the soft bed in the room.
Long Ye's expression was a little stiff, but she still obediently complied.
"The secret technique used was one of the seven arts from the Demonic Sect's Sacred Canon: Soul Seizure."
"Ordinary methods can't possibly undo it. Only someone who's also trained in the Sacred Canon might have a chance."
Gu Hanyan came straight to the bed and began inspecting her as she spoke.
The demoness didn't seem surprised by this, her eyes dimmed slightly.
If it were that easy to break, it wouldn't be called a Sacred Canon.
"Aunt, can you break it?"
Su Qing's eyes were full of anticipation.
"It's definitely difficult, but luckily, I know the Sacred Canon inside and out."
The blonde beauty looked at her nephew with a slightly proud tone.
Even someone as indifferent as her couldn't help showing off a bit under her nephew's gaze.
This was a great chance to earn some favor!
"That's great! Aunt, you're amazing!"
Su Qing exclaimed with perfect timing.
As an accessory often draped over various long legs, he was a master at providing emotional value.
Who was charming who? That was up for debate.
