A Bargain Master's Wife
"Oh! Little brother, you really have a good memory. I never thought that our brief encounter back then would make you so fond of me. It's no wonder that I've been searching for and keeping an eye on you all these years. Hehe..." The Hundred Charm Demoness lightly extended her jade arm and swept her fingers across the strings of the zither standing beside her. After a series of harmonious sounds, she covered her mouth and laughed incessantly. In an instant, she exuded a seductive charm, her breasts swaying, and the red gauze covering her body swayed in the mountain breeze, revealing glimpses of her fleshy lower body. She was truly a captivating beauty with every smile.
Yue Qianchou was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, "Wow, amazing!" He had never met a woman like Hundred Charm Demoness (Hundred Charm Demoness) among all the beauties he knew. She embodied the allure of a mature woman to the extreme; truly worthy of the name. However, he couldn't tell if she was friend or foe, so he couldn't be careless. He took a deep breath to steady himself and asked expressionlessly, "Why have you been investigating and monitoring my affairs?"
The Hundred Charm Demoness stopped laughing and shook her head, saying, "Are you truly confused, or are you pretending? Don't you really know the relationship between me and your master?"
Yue Qianchou's eyes flickered. Back in the Spirit Stone mine, she had overheard a conversation between her and Lu Wanqian. If Hao Wuwei was indeed her master, Hao Sansi, then their relationship would be ambiguous, and she might even have to call her "master's wife." But that seemed too far-fetched. Could her master, that filthy old man, really be dating such a cool girl? Besides, Hundred Charm Demoness was the master of the "Illusion Demon Palace." Unless she was a pervert, that was more likely.
As if she could read his mind, Hundred Charm Demoness, without waiting for his reply, began to tell him a story from the past.
Back then, Hundred Charm Demoness wasn't yet the master of the "Illusion Demon Palace." During one of her training trips down the mountain, she happened to encounter Hao Wuwei, who was also training there (before he was called Hao Sansi). The two, one righteous and one demonic, clashed immediately. However, Hao Wuwei was only at the early stage of Core Formation, while Hundred Charm Demoness was at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. The difference in their cultivation levels was too great; the former was injured and captured alive by the latter. Hundred Charm Demoness, who always despised the hypocrisy of the righteous sects, decided to play a trick on him, saying Hao Wuwei if he joined her "Illusion Demon Palace." But Hao Wuwei defiant, constantly calling her a "demoness" and "Hundred Charm Demoness. She then thoroughly tormented him, leaving Hao Wuwei on the verge of death.
Even on his last breath, Hao Wuwei, cursing and swearing. Hundred Charm Demoness was shocked. She hadn't expected there to be such a fearless person in the world, enduring torture without yielding. She had never seen a man like this before. Her feelings gradually changed, from initial disdain to mockery, then to anger, and finally from shock to admiration. Such a man of integrity was indeed rare in the Cultivation World, and it could be said that he had won her over.
What followed was a dramatic turn of events. The Hundred Charm Demoness, who had nearly killed Hao Wuwei, ended up healing him. Under her meticulous care, as his injuries healed, Hao Wuwei's emotions shifted. He hadn't expected this seemingly seductive and eccentric woman to have this side to her. This is where the problem arose. When a man and woman spend a lot of time together, once mutual attraction develops, it's easy for things to spiral out of control, and they fell in love.
In the Cultivation World, especially among the righteous sects, a love affair between a righteous and a demonic being is absolutely forbidden. Hao Wuwei, now fully recovered from his injuries, returned to the Qingguang Sect Hao Wuwei trepidation, not daring to mention the matter to his sect. However, Hundred Charm Demoness was a woman who dared to love and hate, perhaps this was the difference between the demonic and Righteous Path. Unable to bear the pain of unrequited love, Hundred Charm Demoness secretly went to the Qingguang Sect to find Hao Wuwei, only to terrify him to death, and he advised her never to come to the Qingguang Sect again. These words nearly made Hundred Charm Demoness die of anger. "What are you afraid of? I'm not afraid of anything!" she thought. A man who wasn't even afraid of death was afraid of this?
In a fit of anger, she brazenly revealed her whereabouts within the Qingguang Sect and then quickly fled. Her impulsive act caused her no trouble, but it brought immense suffering to Hao Wuwei. Once exposed, under the sect's reprimand, Hao Wuwei confessed to what had happened but also nearly lost his life. If his master hadn't happened to be the Qingguang Sect Master and intentionally tried to protect him, there wouldn't be a Hao Sansi in the future.
In fact, the Qingguang Sect Master had high hopes for this disciple back then, even intending to groom him as his successor. However, this incident completely ruined his chances. Heartbroken, the sect leader severely reprimanded his disciple and renamed him Hao Sansi, meaning "think thrice before you act." He wasn't spared a final punishment, and swore never to associate with Hundred Charm Demoness again, and was even forced to spend ten years in solitary confinement.
Afterwards, Hundred Charm Demoness felt a little regretful, but out of spite, the two didn't see each other for decades. When they coincidentally met again, Hundred Charm Demoness could hardly believe her eyes. The once upright and dignified Hao Wuwei had become a disheveled old man. Finding an opportunity, Hundred Charm Demoness stopped him alone to question him, but the latter said his name was Hao Sansi, and he didn't know either Hundred Charm Demoness or Hao Wuwei. He said she had mistaken him for someone else, and then smiled kindly and left.
Indeed, Hundred Charm Demoness cultivated a seductive art, which naturally has the effect of preserving youth. However, with Hao Wuwei's cultivation level, he shouldn't be aging so quickly, looking so much older than her! Even if he really is aging quickly, how could two people who have loved each other for many years so easily mistake one another? Neither of them are ordinary mortals, and besides, how could she possibly hide the inexplicable sadness that flashed in Hao Wuwei's smiling eyes?
After painstakingly figuring out Hao Wuwei's ordeal, Hundred Charm Demoness Ji wept for three days and three nights, feeling that all the misfortune Hao Wuwei suffered was her fault. She then repeatedly pleaded with the Qingguang Sect to see Hao Wuwei, but the Qingguang Sect would never grant a request from a demonic cultivator; they were already being lenient by not killing her. So she tried to force her way in several more times, but how could Hundred Charm Demoness possibly break in alone? She almost lost her life at the Qingguang Sect.
After realizing that one person's strength was far too insignificant compared to the strength of the Qingguang Sect, Hundred Charm Demoness made a painful decision to devote herself to cultivation. Decades later, she finally achieved her wish and became the Palace Master of the "Illusion Demon Palace".
After she finally secured control of the entire "Illusion Demon Palace," just as she was about to return to the Qingguang Sect, news arrived that Hao Wuwei had been killed. Hundred Charm Demoness was struck dumb; everything she had done over the years was for Hao Wuwei, and yet this was the outcome?
In an instant, Hundred Charm Demoness was filled with boundless rage. However, the culprit, the behemoth Daluo Sect, was definitely not someone her "Illusion Demon Palace" could afford to offend for the time being. So she chose to vent her anger on the Qingguang Sect first.
Later, when the Qingguang Sect's Spirit Stone mine was attacked, Yue Qianchou personally experienced it. Subsequently, the "Illusion Demon Palace" was retaliated against by the Qingguang Sect and was wiped out in one fell swoop, which was something that the entire Cultivation World knew.
This story is way too melodramatic! Yue Qianchou was speechless after hearing it. He didn't know what to say. No wonder Lu Wanqian said he was Hao Wuwei's disciple back then; so that's what happened. Sigh! That old geezer really couldn't have seen it coming! He never imagined there was such a romantic past. This Hundred Charm Demoness was actually his master's woman... then she really was at the level of his master's wife?
