Evil Master and Disciple

Chapter 1431 The Story of Zhu Xian

Lingyin is now caught in a strange dilemma.

The reason she kidnapped Ye Feng last night was to break his legs to vent her anger over his repeated bullying of her in the capital.

However, now Master Ziyin Fairy wants to use Ye Feng as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Master Yunyi, which disrupts Lingyin's plans.

The members of the Demonic Cult are not as cruel and bloodthirsty as people imagine.

To put it bluntly, they are just like the righteous cultivators; they are all people who cultivate truth and refine the Dao.

The reason why the people of the Central Plains are terrified of demons is that public opinion in the Central Plains has always been firmly controlled by the various righteous factions.

Through years of propaganda and promotion by the righteous sects, the people of the Central Plains have come to fear the demonic sect cultivators, believing them to be bloodthirsty and cruel.

Of course, due to the cultivation techniques of the Demonic Sect, many disciples of the Demonic Sect did indeed devour blood and absorb souls during their cultivation.

But this does not include Lingyin.

If Lingyin were truly a wicked and evil person, Monk Fayuan would have severed ties with her long ago, so how could he have become friends with her?

What was originally just a personal grudge between herself and Ye Feng has escalated into a political game, which makes Lingyin quite resistant.

She just wanted to beat Ye Feng up; she didn't intend to use him as a bargaining chip.

So Lingyin is very conflicted right now.

Aside from giving Ye Feng a severe beating earlier, their relationship was relatively peaceful for the rest of the time.

She didn't know what Ye Feng was doing in bed, but what prevented her from calming down to meditate and cultivate was not Ye Feng, but the displeasure she felt because her master was using the grudge between her and Ye Feng.

Seeing that Ye Feng hadn't gone to sleep yet, and that she herself couldn't calm down to meditate, Lingyin asked Ye Feng to tell her a bedtime story, specifically requesting a love story.

The reason for asking Ye Feng to tell stories is quite simple. Since Ye Feng has such high attainments in poetry and literature, he must be a well-read person who has read many books and knows many stories.

Ye Feng was initially unwilling to tell Lingyin a story, but he was worried that the demoness would get angry and beat him up again, so he had no choice but to compromise.

As a time traveler, and one who had read many online novels and watched many TV dramas in his previous life, Ye Feng found it much easier to tell stories than to copy the poems of Li Bai, Du Fu, and Bai Juyi.

After thinking it over, he felt that the story of "Zhu Xian" written by Xiao Ding was very suitable to tell to Lingyin.

So Ye Feng said, "Alright, the night is long and I can't sleep. Since Fairy Lingyin wants to hear a story, I'll tell you one."

Long, long ago, there was a mountain called Qingyun Mountain, and on Qingyun Mountain lived an ancient Taoist sect called Qingyun Sect…

Lingyin Fairy pursed her lips. As a disciple of the Demonic Sect, she naturally disliked listening to the love stories of righteous young heroes and fairies.

However, she did not stop Ye Feng.

Because all the martial arts novels published in the world are about righteous heroes slaying demons and monsters, and there are almost no martial arts novels or martial arts picture books with disciples of the demonic sect as the main characters.

Like Yun Shuang'er, Lingyin also enjoys reading martial arts novels and the romances depicted in them.

She thought what Ye Feng said was similar to what she had read in those martial arts novels.

It's simply a love story between Zhang Xiaofan, who has a tragic past, and Lu Xueqi, a cold and aloof fairy.

However, when Ye Feng mentioned that Zhang Xiaofan encountered Biyao Fairy, the daughter of the Demonic Cult's Ghost King, in the Abyss of the Dead, and was trapped in the same cave, Lingyin Fairy gradually sensed that something was amiss.

She was originally sitting five or six feet away from Ye Feng, but she gradually moved to be next to him.

Lingyin said, "Young Master Ye, which book did you see this story in? How come a girl from our Holy Sect is involved? Could it be that Zhang Xiaofan saw that Fairy Biyao was beautiful and took advantage of her injury to stab her to death with his sword? Or... could he have been lusted after Fairy Biyao and defiled her?"

"Of course not... Fairy Lingyin, I'm getting really into what I'm saying, don't interrupt me!"

"It's not that I want to interrupt you, but the sudden appearance of a Holy Sect fairy in your story doesn't make sense. I've read many martial arts novels and legendary tales, and they're all about love stories between righteous young heroes and righteous fairies, or about the righteous young heroes' great achievements in slaying demons. How could a Holy Sect fairy and a righteous young hero be trapped in the same cave? What did they do in the cave? Did they fall in love over time? Or did they have sex after falling in love?"

Looking at Fairy Lingyin's lewd and gossipy expression, Ye Feng said, "Fairy Lingyin, you truly live up to your title as the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect. How could you say such a thing? Aren't you ashamed?"

"This is a reasonable analysis based on the plot and the situation of the two people at the time... Tell me, tell me quickly..."

Lingyin urged Ye Feng on.

Ye Feng scratched his head. The story had been interrupted by Ling Yin, and it took him a while to pick it up again.

In the novel "Zhu Xian", the fact that Zhang Xiaofan and Biyao are currently trapped in the Dead Spirit Abyss is the most important plot point in the entire book.

Ye Feng only spent about two incense sticks' worth of time recounting Zhang Xiaofan's apprenticeship at Qingyun Mountain and his emotional entanglement with Lu Xueqi during the sect competition. However, he spent almost two incense sticks' worth of time recounting the story of Zhang Xiaofan and Biyao being trapped in the cave in the Dead Spirit Abyss.

Lingyin Fairy originally had a playful expression on her face.

But gradually, the playful expression on her face disappeared.

She seemed to have put herself into the role of Fairy Biyao in the story, and her whole demeanor became melancholic.

After telling the story of the Abyss of the Dead, Zhang Xiaofan and Biyao escaped their predicament. Zhang Xiaofan roasted a rabbit for Biyao, and the Fairy Lingyin clearly showed longing for it.

Then came the battle against the Six-Tailed Demon Fox in Koike Town, and the journey to the East Sea.

By the time I finished recounting my trip to the East China Sea, it was already dawn.

Ye Feng yawned and said, "It's already dawn, so let's stop here for now. I'm really sleepy."

"No, what happened to Zhang Xiaofan and Fairy Biyao? Also, what did Zhang Xiaofan and Biyao see in that ancient well?"

I think Zhang Xiaofan definitely saw Fairy Biyao. They went through so much together in the Abyss of the Dead, he must have liked Fairy Biyao. It's just that because of the conflict between good and evil, he didn't dare to face his own heart.

Don't lie down! Tell me the rest of the story!

Ye Feng smiled wryly and said, "My mental energy is already very depleted. I slept for more than ten hours before and haven't recovered at all. Now my cultivation is sealed and I can't meditate to regulate my breathing. I'm really tired now. Let me sleep for a while and I'll talk to you when I wake up!"

Although Fairy Lingyin was eager to hear the rest of the story, she could also tell that Ye Feng was indeed very tired.

If this kid doesn't go to sleep soon, his health might collapse.

So he nodded and said, "Then you should go to sleep now. I'll wake you up in an hour to tell you a story."

"One hour isn't enough... at least five hours!"
