Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Chapter 531 - 191: The Truth of Celestial Phoenix Mountain

"Huang..."

The woman designated by the Celestial Phoenix Maiden looked helplessly at her, while the women of the Celestial Phoenix Race beside her giggled:

"Sister Zhu Lin, you go up quickly!"

"Show these men the power of our Celestial Phoenix Race!"

"Sister Zhu Lin, don’t be too rough."

The woman named Zhu Lin had gentle features and a calm, dignified demeanor. Hearing the others egging her on, she glared at them irritably.

"Alright, I’ll show them then."

With that, she walked towards Chun Ningzhi.

Chun Ningzhi was still suffering from residual poison in his body and didn’t dare to move.

He could only watch helplessly as this gentle yet lethal beautiful woman approached him, despairing as he shouted to the sky:

"Junior Sister Ye, I’m going ahead, take care of yourself! Don’t let He Zhiqiu bully you anymore!"

The male disciples beside him all showed expressions of grief and indignation:

"Senior Brother Chun!"

"Farewell, Senior Brother Chun!"

They had all heard that women from Celestial Phoenix Mountain absorb the essence of men. The men used for cultivation would eventually turn into dried corpses.

It seemed Chun Ningzhi was doomed.

Qin Gengyun, mentioned by Chun Ningzhi in his dying moments, couldn’t help but give a helpless smile and no longer wasted time, concentrating on using his cultivation technique.

He had already neutralized the poison from the Joyful Jade Dragon Pill; now he only needed to deal with the poison from the Locking Essence Pill and the black mist.

Give him another half a two-hour period, and he could restore his cultivation.

Even though he couldn’t defeat so many people, it was better than sitting and waiting for death.

He still had time, but Chun Ningzhi did not.

He watched as Zhu Lin approached Chun Ningzhi, gently smiling:

"He’s quite the sentimental soul; don’t worry, it will be quick."

With that, she reached out to Chun Ningzhi, who shouted:

"You’re really going to do this in front of so many people? Have you no shame?!"

Zhu Lin was taken aback, while the Celestial Phoenix Maiden laughed heartily: "You wish! Even if you were willing, Sister Zhulin might not be!"

Zhu Lin’s cheeks blushed, and she turned back, rebuking: "Phoenix Maiden!"

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden tried to suppress her laughter: "Alright, Sister Zhu Lin, I’ll stop interrupting. Continue."

The male disciples of Zhenyang Sect saw this demoness about to engage in dual cultivation with Chun Ningzhi and absorb his essence in broad daylight, and they felt both indignation and shame.

They never imagined the Senior Brother of Forgetful Peak would suffer such humiliation before his death!

Chun Ningzhi’s face was pale, and he kept murmuring: "I’m sorry, Junior Sister Ye, I’m dying so disgracefully, forget about me."

Thus, under Chun Ningzhi’s and the male disciples’ anguished stares, Zhu Lin placed her hand on his forehead.

Afterward, a light shone, and Chun Ningzhi’s expression turned strange, he started uttering hoarse sounds, seeming quite comfortable.

The male disciples exchanged bewildered looks.

Wasn’t this supposed to be dual cultivation?

Why did the demoness only press Brother Chun’s forehead?

And it seemed like Brother Chun was actually enjoying it?

Zhu Lin’s charming face also blushed, and she made an inexplicable sound, making the male disciples feel parched.

But that was all; Zhu Lin made no further moves.

Half an incense stick later, she released Chun Ningzhi, her blush fading, a powerful flow of spiritual power surged around her, and the women of the Celestial Phoenix Race exclaimed with surprise:

"Sister Zhu Lin broke through to the Seventh-Layer Golden Core!"

"Zhenyang Sect disciples really are nourishing!"

"If an ordinary disciple’s essence is this potent, how much more extraordinary would the Phoenix Maiden’s destined man be?"

"Wow, this man’s muscles are huge, I really want to eat them!"

Their gazes became more fervent toward Qin Gengyun, but they knew he was the Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s man, and nobody dared to approach him.

At the same time, the male disciples of Zhenyang Sect were stunned.

"It’s over just like that?"

"Weren’t they supposed to be absorbed dry and turned into corpses?"

"Why isn’t Senior Brother Chun dead yet?"

Chun Ningzhi was even more bewildered; moments ago, the tragic heroism now seemed like a joke.

He instinctively felt himself, finding nothing missing, only slightly fatigued. He couldn’t help but look at Zhu Lin.

Feeling his gaze, Zhu Lin gently said: "Just like the others, you assume our Celestial Phoenix Mountain is a place of evil that devours men, don’t you?"

The male disciples were bewildered, isn’t it?

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden snorted coldly: "Ha, truly the renowned and righteous sects are skilled at falsely accusing others of being part of the Demon Dao!"

Zhu Lin smiled: "The Celestial Phoenix Technique we practice is left by the Ancient Divine Phoenix, which were originally pairs, male as Feng, female as Huang."

"Feng had the Celestial Phoenix Technique, Huang had the Celestial Phoenix Technique; in ancient times, phoenixes flew together, complementing each other’s techniques."

"But then something happened, separating the phoenixes, and the two cultivation techniques could no longer be practiced together, the ancestor Phoenix had to modify the Celestial Phoenix Technique so that it could be practiced alone."

Qin Gengyun began to understand: "So the Celestial Phoenix Technique you practice now is the modified version, which, while it can be cultivated alone, still relies on male essence, leading you to capture male cultivators to aid your training?"

Zhu Lin nodded: "Indeed, you are the Phoenix Maiden’s destined one, truly insightful. That’s precisely it."

"However, the Celestial Phoenix Technique doesn’t require killing males. We know how to control ourselves when absorbing essence; we only seek men with excess essence and absorb the surplus."

The group exchanged looks, and Zhang Zheng couldn’t help but ask: "So why do people say Celestial Phoenix Race turns men into dried corpses?"

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden resentfully replied: "It’s because of the Celestial Fall Sect. They want to complete the Phoenix Scroll in the Celestial Beast Record and need the blood of Phoenix descendants. We refuse to give it, so they instigate the Joyful Union Sect to ruin our reputation, trying to use the Righteous Path to force us to join them!"

Zhu Lin sighed: "Indeed, we often capture male cultivators on Celestial Phoenix Mountain due to cultivation needs, but we treat them with courtesy. After absorbing their surplus essence, we’d even give them Spirit Pills as compensation, and..."

Zhu Lin glanced at Chun Ningzhi: "If any of our tribe members fancy the one whose essence they absorbed, as long as both parties are willing, they can leave the mountain together and live their own lives."

"So being captured on Celestial Phoenix Mountain not only doesn’t mean death, but one might even elope with a Phoenix descendant as a wife?!"

The male disciples of Zhenyang Sect were stunned. With the toxin of the Jade Dragon Pill still in their bodies, now surrounded by the beautiful women of the Celestial Phoenix Race, and hearing this seductive tale, their blood boiled.

Shi Ying suddenly raised his hand: "Ladies, my essence is substantial, who wants to absorb it?"

Others followed suit: "My essence is plentiful too; come absorb it!"

The women of the Celestial Phoenix Race blushed: "Aren’t you righteous disciples? How can you say these shameless things?"

Qin Gengyun shook his head helplessly, wondering why things suddenly became increasingly strange?
