Chapter 480: Chapter 140: Niece Disciple, I’ll Take Care of Your Rival in Love for You

The moon shone bright, stars sparse, and the night veiled low.

At Xiyue Peak, in the boudoir belonging solely to Senior Sister Ye Xiyue, Junior Martial Uncle Wei Shouyuan suddenly barged in, a hideous smile on his ugly horse-like face.

His gaze wandered over the curves of the Fairy’s graceful body, all semblance of daytime maturity and restraint gone from his eyes, which were filled with unmistakable desire.

"Hehe, Xiyue, have you really dual cultivated with Zheng Shengmo?"

Jian Yue smirked, "Junior Martial Uncle Wei, coming to my room so late just to ask such shameless questions?"

Wei Shouyuan stepped forward, spiritual energy surged from his body, and a powerful pressure bore down upon Jian Yue:

"You and Zheng Shengmo ignore hierarchy, clandestinely consorting, believe it or not, I’ll drag you to Deputy Sect Leader and expose your disgraceful deeds, making the Fairy of this world fall from grace!"

Jian Yue suddenly chuckled, flipped onto the bed, and beckoned Wei Shouyuan with a finger:

"Junior Martial Uncle has such misunderstandings. I have no involvement with Zheng Shengmo. If you don’t believe, feel free to check for yourself."

Wei Shouyuan was startled. His usually cool and aloof niece suddenly became enticingly seductive, it was quite eerie, bringing a subtle unease to his heart.

Yet, seeing Ye Xiyue’s enticing demeanor, he couldn’t suppress his desire and eagerly approached her.

Ding!

A flying sword suddenly came stabbing from behind rapidly, Wei Shouyuan swiftly conjured a long sword in his hand to fend it off.

The flying sword paused half an inch from his sword tip, emitting a chilling spiritual power fluctuation.

Wei Shouyuan was astonished, "You’ve restored to Golden Core Eighth Layer already?"

During the battle at Celestial Ridge Mountain, Ye Xiyue and Su Hongling suffered the most severe injuries, their cultivation plummeted from Nascent Soul Peak to Foundation Establishment, unable to recover for long.

The last time Wei Shouyuan saw Ye Xiyue, her cultivation seemed to be stuck at Foundation Establishment.

Unexpectedly, in just two months, she had reached Golden Core Eighth Layer.

This recovery speed was truly terrifying.

No, she must have deliberately hid the true status of her cultivation recovery!

Moreover, with Ye Xiyue’s remarkable talent, her Golden Core Eighth Layer far surpassed ordinary cultivators of the same level.

Even facing the Nascent Soul Realm, she was not without the power to fight.

Although Wei Shouyuan himself was at Nascent Soul Eighth Layer, a whole realm above Ye Xiyue, he still wasn’t confident he could subdue Ye Xiyue without drawing attention.

With that realization, Wei Shouyuan quickly withdrew his desire, his face turning gentle with a smile:

"Niece Ye, just now I was merely jesting with you, you needn’t take it seriously."

With that, he voluntarily retracted his magical artifact, Jian Yue rose from the bed, sheathed her Immortal Sword with a renewed cold demeanor:

"Junior Martial Uncle Wei, coming to my room in the middle of the night just for a joke, truly laborious of you."

Wei Shouyuan, somewhat embarrassed, was ready to leave when Jian Yue suddenly said:

"May as well inform Junior Martial Uncle Wei, Zheng Shengmo also covets me, I don’t wish to clash with him, merely maintaining a facade of harmony. Privately, there’s no association between us whatsoever."

Wei Shouyuan felt a sudden joy, hastily asking, "Xiyue, is this true?"

Jian Yue snorted coldly, "If I don’t want it, who in the world could qualify to come near me?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I knew Xiyue is proud and pure, how could she be tainted by the likes of Zheng Shengmo!"

Wei Shouyuan rejoiced. That means Ye Xiyue’s innate top-grade spirit root hasn’t been plucked by Zheng Shengmo yet, I have a chance!

But then he remembered someone else, asking:

"Today, I heard Xiyue say she wants to get close to He Zhiqiu. I wonder if you and him..."

"Junior Brother He is indeed somewhat special."

Before Wei Shouyuan could finish, Jian Yue had already delivered the answer he didn’t wish to hear:

"I recently acquired a secret technique. By dual cultivating with a body cultivator, I can quickly recover my cultivation, perhaps even advance further. Junior Brother He is young, handsome, skilled in body cultivation techniques, unfortunately..."

"Unfortunately, what?"

Wei Shouyuan was now thrown into turmoil by Jian Yue’s ups and downs, urgently pressing for answers.

Jian Yue’s eyes flashed mockery, coldly said: "Unfortunately, Junior Brother He refused me."

"What?!"

Wei Shouyuan’s eyes widened. He imagined Ye Xiyue might have taken a liking to He Zhiqiu, but never anticipated things had advanced beyond his expectations, Ye Xiyue had already expressed her feelings to He Zhiqiu.

Most absurd of all, He Zhiqiu actually rejected her?!

For a moment, Wei Shouyuan didn’t know whether to be happy or shocked, instinctively he asked:

"Why did He Zhiqiu refuse you?"

Jian Yue’s expression turned displeased, she snorted coldly: "He said he already has someone in his heart."

Wei Shouyuan couldn’t suppress his curiosity, asking: "Is there someone else more charming than Niece Ye? Who?"

Jian Yue shot him a cold glance, her voice bitter with resentment: "Just another nameless loose cultivator, only..."

Jian Yue paused, then coolly said: "She also has an innate top-grade spirit root."

"What? There’s another innate top-grade spirit root in the world?!"

Wei Shouyuan’s eyes widened instantly, his heart flashed with insight.

Since Ye Xiyue is already hard to attain, if I claim this innate top-grade spirit root, wouldn’t the effect be the same?

Jian Yue snorted, continued: "What of top-grade spirit root? Merely at Qi Cultivation Stage, how is she superior to me in any way? He Zhiqiu is truly blind!"

Wei Shouyuan had no interest in her grievances, quickly pursued:

"What’s this woman’s name? Where is she? What stage has she reached with He Zhiqiu?"

Jian Yue glanced at him, her eyes suddenly lighting up, walked to the table, sat down, poured tea, and gracefully handed it to Wei Shouyuan.

Wei Shouyuan was flattered, bewilderedly taking it: "Niece Ye, what’s this..."

Jian Yue coldly said: "You wish to obtain the top-grade spirit root to help you breakthrough to Nascent Soul Realm, I don’t want that woman blocking me and Zhiqiu any longer, we can cooperate."

Wei Shouyuan’s heart raced, he spoke in a deep voice: "How do we cooperate?"

Jian Yue’s eyes drooped, voice calm: "I’ll tell you where that woman is, and you make her... disappear."

Wei Shouyuan was overjoyed, immediately said: "Deal! I’ll make sure He Zhiqiu can never find this woman again!"

Jian Yue lifted her gaze, her eyes indifferent, lips slightly parted: "This woman is called Tang, resides at the back mountain of Cyan Lotus Mountain, in the lotus pond."

Wei Shouyuan was startled, as if recalling a figure often appearing in nightmares, he couldn’t help but shiver, softly asked:

"Niece Ye, aren’t you teasing me? The Demon Sect no longer exists, how could someone still reside in Cyan Lotus Mountain?"

Jian Yue recited "Tang’s" story, identical to what Qin Gengyun told Shi Shuhong.

Upon hearing, Wei Shouyuan still harbored suspicions but the allure of top-grade spirit root was too great. Even if tricked, it’d just be a wasted trip.

If by chance Ye Xiyue speaks truth, he could be the first Divinity Transformation in three hundred years!

This matter, feasible!

Wei Shouyuan rose, saying to Jian Yue: "Rest assured, Xiyue, fly with He Zhiqiu, I’ll definitely rid you of this heartache!"

Jian Yue stood and clasped her hands: "Thank you, Junior Martial Uncle Wei, for your assistance. Also, please keep our conversation today a secret from everyone."

"Haha, naturally, from today forth, Xiyue and I sail the same boat!"

"Wish Junior Martial Uncle Wei swift success."

"Wish Xiyue finds her destined partner, hahahaha!"
