The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife
Chapter 110 - 96: Tales of the Evil Heaven
The speaker was a middle-aged loose cultivator, slightly tipsy from drinking.
He sat with three or five friends at the same table, which was already in disorder, entering the stage of drinking bravado.
"Let me tell you, about six hundred seventy-three years ago, there was an ancestor from a righteous sect. I won’t say her real name, so let’s give her an alias, ’Cloud Fairy.’
"This Cloud Fairy, though a renowned beauty in her youth, had grown old."
"She wasn’t one to vainly pursue eternal youth, so she naturally aged into a kindly-looking elder with white hair."
"Wait," someone at the table turned pale, "you’re not suggesting the Celestial Evil even had the audacity to touch that?"
Chu Xuan’s face turned dark upon hearing this, prompting even Qingqing to look over in surprise.
Clearly, even she, a Demon Path Saintess, hadn’t heard of this bizarre tale.
The middle-aged loose cultivator chuckled slyly, teasing them with suspense until his friends urged him on, then he leisurely continued,
"Indeed! The Celestial Evil had no qualms about that elderly woman with white hair."
His friends exclaimed in disbelief, one of them saying:
"That can’t be right, according to your timeline, the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable had already risen, no longer a mere unknown loose cultivator."
"He could have any woman he wanted, why insist on that... He must have some peculiarities?"
"You just don’t get it, the Celestial Evil was truly daring, and really had no bottom line." The middle-aged loose cultivator spoke with a complex tone, laced with disdain yet a hint of admiration.
"As you said, back then, the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable had become powerful, he directly stormed that sect and captured Cloud Fairy alive."
"All because he heard she was quite the beauty in her youth, he was moved by the thought."
"Once captured, he force-fed her the precious Rejuvenation Pill, restoring her youth."
"Behold, a true beauty, making the effort worthwhile."
"What happened after, you can surely guess, I won’t elaborate."
"Poor Cloud Fairy, keeping her chastity her whole life, only for it to be heartlessly taken by a demon," the middle-aged loose cultivator lamented.
His friends, upon hearing this, also criticized, exclaiming how inhuman the Celestial Evil was.
"But the ending of this story, you surely won’t guess," the loose cultivator teased again.
Good thing, before anyone could ask, he voluntarily explained: "In the end, the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable released Cloud Fairy."
One person inquired in confusion: "Why would he do that? Got bored of her?"
The middle-aged loose cultivator chuckled, "That, I’m not sure, maybe he was bored, or perhaps he planted some kind of controlling poison in her, but he released her without fear of revenge."
"Afterward, they didn’t seem to have much interaction."
"Cloud Fairy participated in the last big righteous and evil battle, but her skills weren’t enough to contribute against the Celestial Evil."
"However, the demon eventually perished at the righteous’ hands, utterly destroyed, justice prevailed."
The friends all nodded in agreement.
...
To be honest, Chu Xuan was numb from the story, thinking is this truly real? Was I ever such a beast?!
No, no, no, can’t believe it, how would a bottom-rung loose cultivator know such secrets? Not to mention this was drinking bravado, it’d be lucky if even ten percent is true.
Chu Xuan anxiously glanced at Qingqing, worried she might actually believe it.
Thankfully, Qingqing showed a disdainful expression, too indifferent to even comment, clearly not believing a word.
Although Chu Xuan didn’t know Qingqing’s true identity, her background was evidently extraordinary; her insights far surpassed his. If she didn’t believe it, it only highlighted the ridiculousness of the claims.
...
Meanwhile, that middle-aged loose cultivator, fueled by drink, proceeded rambling:
"You guys don’t know, the Celestial Evil was indiscriminate, be it a fairy, saintess, demoness, witch, Taoist nun; whether it’s the Sect Leader’s mother, the Sect Leader’s wife, daughter, granddaughter...
"Basically, if they were pretty, he’d capture and ravage them, sometimes even in front of the victim. At that time, countless beautiful female cultivators were harmed."
Honestly, Chu Xuan was shocked by the first part! Did I really do such things? Which Sect Leader was so cursed with bad luck?
But hearing the latter part, he was so angered he wanted to beat this idiot up.
From his time on Earth until now, Chu Xuan was a staunch supporter of pure love!
To accuse me of in-your-face NTR is an insult to my character, I would never do such things, all fabricated, total fabrications.
The middle-aged loose cultivator, still caught up in his narrative, was oblivious to the impending crisis.
As he invited his friends for more drinks, suddenly, teams of law-enforcing cultivators poured into Flying Heaven Tower, swiftly surrounding their table.
This caused everyone at the table to stand up in panic, recognizing the law enforcers in unified white robes, chest embroidered with the emblem of Cloud Mountain from East Immortal Village, speaking volumes about their identity.
"Friend, fellow friends, there must be a misunderstanding?!" the middle-aged loose cultivator anxiously defended.
"We’re not fugitives, nor have we done anything against the market rules."
