"Sister Yao Zhu, you promised you wouldn't be angry... please don't hit me in the face..."
Hearing Leng Yaozhu's extremely angry voice, Xia Yi almost reflexively covered his head.
Prepare for Leng Yaozhu and relentless attack.
"Mom, I haven't even made a move yet, what's your name?" Leng Yaozhu glared at Xia Yi, then looked at Leng Yulai, who was still holding Xia Yi's arm. Her excitement at seeing her sister vanished instantly.
" Leng Yulai, do you have any shame?" Leng Yaozhu pulled Leng Yulai off Xia Yi's arm.
Although she was extremely angry, she did not lash out.
She could tell that Leng Yulai was completely throwing herself at him.
This is not Xia Yi's fault.
"I'm just afraid my master will abandon me," Leng Yulai said Leng Yulai as Leng Yaozhu forcefully pulled her off Xia Yi.
"You two chat, I'm leaving first." Looking at these two stunningly beautiful women who looked seven or eight parts alike, both with jade-like faces, one with a fiery temperament and an aura of dominance, and the other a well-behaved maid, petite and charming, one couldn't help but want to protect her.
Although I know Leng Yulai is faking it.
But Xia Yi still tried to avoid the two sisters whenever possible.
I slipped away immediately.
"Master, don't leave me behind." Seeing Xia Yi preparing to run away again, Leng Yulai chased after him and hugged his arm once more.
" Leng Yulai..."
"Smack..."
Leng Yaozhu could no longer hold back. After a roar, she slapped Leng Yulai across the face.
Apart from Leng Yulai herself, Xia Yi and Leng Yaozhu were both frightened.
In an instant, Leng Yulai's fair right cheek swelled up, with five clear finger marks visible on it.
"Sister..." Leng Yaozhu stared blankly at her trembling hands. She never expected that after decades, when she met Leng Yulai for the first time, she would hit her.
However, Leng Yulai wasn't angry at all. She bit her finger and looked at Xia Yi, tears streaming down her face. "Master, my sister hit me! It hurts!"
Seeing Leng Yulai's appearance, Xia Yi and Leng Yaozhu almost stumbled and fell.
"I order you to stay here and chat with your sister," Xia Yi said through gritted teeth, taking a deep breath.
"This servant will obey my master and chat with my sister." Leng Yulai appeared submissive.
Xia Yi and Leng Yaozhu both got goosebumps from watching.
Xia Yi couldn't hold back any longer and turned to leave.
If it weren't for Leng Yulai forcing him into a corner...
Xia Yi really didn't want to speak to Leng Yulai in that tone in front of Leng Yaozhu.
"Go wait in the living room, I have some questions to ask you later." Leng Yaozhu said coldly the moment Xia Yi closed the door.
Before things were cleared up, how could she let Xia Yi leave?
"Sister, you still have such poor taste. No wonder you can't win against Ya Li."
The moment Xia Yi closed the door, Leng Yulai's obedient maid demeanor vanished without a trace.
She turned around naturally, grabbed a drink from the shelf behind Leng Yaozhu, then sat down on the sofa, crossed her long legs, patted the sofa beneath her, and shook her head, saying, "Take this sofa for example, it's pure black, and at least it has some pattern, right?"
"After all these decades, is this all you've to say to me?" Leng Yaozhu's ample bosom heaved.
Seeing his sister, who had been missing for many years, should have been a very happy thing.
But she felt that she had suffered more anger today than she had in the first half of her life.
There was not a trace of joy in them.
"Let's not talk about that. What should we say then? Should we hug and cry? I can do that too. Come on, give me a hug." Leng Yulai said, opening her arms to Leng Yaozhu.
"You only feel happy when you make me angry, right?" Leng Yaozhu said through gritted teeth.
"What are you saying? We're family, why would I make you angry?" Leng Yulai pouted, looking completely unconcerned, and said, "You're being too formal. Family should chat about everyday things. Even if we get angry, it's just a sign of affection, like when you hit me just now, I wasn't angry at all."
Leng Yaozhu gritted her teeth in anger again and said, "Can't you speak properly?"
"I've been speaking politely the whole time." Leng Yulai took a sip of her drink and said, "You can ask me anything directly. Don't be shy, and don't try to be subtle. Don't worry, I won't get angry no matter what you ask. Like I said, we're family."
Seeing Leng Yulai's expression, Leng Yaozhu took a deep breath and finally asked directly, "Where have you been all these years?"
"That day, I saw you confessing your feelings to Yun Ming. I was so angry that I left." Leng Yulai shrugged, looking nonchalant. "Not long after I left, I encountered the Ghost Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult. That's when I realized that the old Ghost Emperor had been watching me for a long time. Under his manipulation and some tricks, I joined the Holy Spirit Cult out of love turned to hate and became Evil Spirit Master. Over the years, I've done countless heinous things. If you want to hear them, I can tell you them one by one. If you want to uphold justice and even kill me, whether you imprison me or kill me, I will never fight back. Before I decided to meet you, I had already prepared myself mentally."
"How can you say these words so calmly?" Leng Yaozhu asked in a cold voice.
"I practiced with myself a few times, and the more I said it, the more proficient I became," Leng Yulai said calmly.
In Ming City, when Xia Yi told her to meet Leng Yaozhu, she had already mentally Simulation countless scenarios of meeting Leng Yaozhu.
They burst into tears!
Facing each other to the death!
None of this is what she wants.
Finally, she remembered that she was Leng Yaozhu's younger sister.
We are family.
Since we're family, let's meet Leng Yaozhu as family.
Whatever you say, talk about it in a casual, conversational way.
"You said the Ghost Emperor has been watching you for a long time, and what do you mean by using deception and some special methods to get you to join the Holy Spirit Cult?" Leng Yaozhu sat down next to Leng Yulai, still holding onto a sliver of hope. If Leng Yulai was forced to join the Holy Spirit Cult, then all the heinous things she did were also forced upon her.
Does that mean Leng Yulai's mistakes are somewhat excusable?
"Over the years, the Holy Spirit Cult has been searching for Soul Master who might fall into Evil Spirit Master. Back then, my sister and I, the Phoenix Sisters throughout the Soul Master World. The Dark Phoenix and the Heavenly Phoenix were renowned. Although my Dark Phoenix was not Evil Martial Soul, it was one of the most likely to fall into Evil Spirit Master Martial Soul. Naturally, the Holy Spirit Cult paid attention to me. They watched as I turned from love to hatred. They seized the moment when my will was weakest and used secret techniques to amplify the negative emotions in my heart infinitely, slowly causing me to fall into Evil Spirit Master status," Leng Yulai said.
"What secret technique?" Leng Yaozhu's fingers clenched so tightly they made a squeaking sound.
"Ten thousand years ago, two Holy Maidens of the Holy Spirit Cult betrayed the sect. To prevent this from happening again, the Holy Spirit Cult, after much painful reflection, continuously improved the secret methods for turning people into Evil Spirit Master. Drugs, Wraith, mind control... all these combined result in repeated mental and physical torture; the experience is definitely unbearable." Leng Yulai shook her head and said, "Now the Holy Spirit Cult's methods are very effective. Even Limit Douluo, once fallen into the Evil Spirit Master, can no longer regain their senses."
"Then, little sister, you..." Leng Yaozhu's lips turned white with fright. She looked at Leng Yulai, but she didn't even have the courage to ask the rest of the question.
"Me?" Leng Yulai smiled sweetly and said, "I joined the Holy Spirit Cult because of you, sister. So when I was enduring those pains, all I could think about was you. So normally, unless you perish and my wish is fulfilled, I really wouldn't be able to wake up. But I was lucky enough to meet my brother-in-law, and with his help, I managed to wake up."
"Brother-in-law?" Leng Yaozhu was slightly taken aback.
"That's my master." Leng Yulai chuckled.
"You mean Xia Yi?" Leng Yaozhu was stunned for a moment, then shouted, " Xia Yi is my student, don't talk nonsense!"
"Student! I know, Master already told me." Leng Yaozhu looked at Leng Yaozhu and said teasingly, "I never thought that you, sister, who loved Yun Ming to death back then, would now fall for a child, and one of your own students at that. Sister, you're really playing with fire."
"Don't blame me for being impolite if you keep spouting nonsense." Leng Yaozhu suddenly stood up and said, "I'm old enough not to care about my reputation, but Xia Yi has a bright future. If this gets out, do you know how much it will affect his career?"
"Heh, so you know how to protect your little boyfriend now, huh?" Facing Leng Yaozhu's anger, Leng Yulai remained unfazed, saying, "Sister, you can fool others, but can you fool me? What does the Phoenix Heart-Linked Jade represent? Do you think I don't know?"
"He's too dazzling. Many organizations don't want him to grow. Shrek Academy's higher-ups have even targeted him. I gave him the Phoenix Heart-Linked Jade simply to protect him," Leng Yaozhu said calmly.
"Phoenix, oh phoenix, return to your homeland, roam the four seas seeking your mate. Though I lack the wings of a colorful phoenix to fly with you, our hearts are connected by a single thread of understanding." Leng Yulai looked at Leng Yaozhu and said with a smile, "Sister, you don't think I don't know that the Phoenix Heart-Linked Jade is all about having a telepathic connection, do you? When making the Phoenix Heart-Linked Jade, one must be thinking of someone, infusing their longing into it, and only then can that person use the Phoenix Heart-Linked Jade."
"Stop making wild guesses. I'll tell you the truth: of the two Phoenix Heart-Linked Jade, one was given to Xia Yi, and the other to another student of mine, who is Xia Yi's girlfriend," Leng Yaozhu said in a deep voice.
"Impossible, don't lie to me. The Phoenix Heart-Linked Jade can only be used by the person you love and the person you long for." Leng Yulai shook her head, not believing Leng Yaozhu's words at all.
"When I made the Phoenix Heart-Linked Jade, I took a special medicine that made me miss both of them at the same time, but that was just the effect of the medicine," Leng Yaozhu told the truth. She absolutely could not let Leng Yulai continue to make wild guesses.
"What kind of medicine is so miraculous?" Leng Yulai asked curiously.
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you. All you need to know is that I've been preparing this drug for almost three years," Leng Yaozhu said calmly.
The first time she met Xia Yi, she decided to give him the Xia Yi Phoenix Heart-Linked Jade.
The purpose of giving Xia Yi the Phoenix Heart-Linked Jade was to protect her from Leng Yulai.
She had left a backup plan in the Phoenix Heart-Linked Jade.
As long as Leng Yulai attacks Xia Yi, Xia Yi will use the Phoenix Heart-Linked Jade.
As long as her Phoenix Heart-Linked Jade strikes with all its might against Leng Yulai, it will leave a mark on Leng Yulai, allowing her to track Leng Yulai's location through the mark.
Leng Yaozhu spent nearly three years preparing to create the Phoenix Heart-Linked Jade that Xia Yi could use.
It can be said that Leng Yaozhu has gone to great lengths to find Leng Yulai over the years.
Giving Xia Yi the Phoenix Heart-Linked Jade was one of the countless efforts she made in order to find Leng Yulai.
"He prepared for nearly three years to protect his master. Sister, do you dare say you have no feelings for him at all?" Leng Yulai laughed mockingly.
"I don't want to talk about this with you." Leng Yaozhu snorted coldly, staring at Leng Yulai, and said, "Master, you call me Master so naturally, what exactly do you want?"
"Sister, I know what you're worried about. Just relax. I won't harm Master." Leng Yulai looked up at the ceiling, took another sip of her drink, and said, "Since I've called him Master, I'll truly treat him as my Master. To tell you the truth, the first time I called him 'Master,' I was very unwilling, I almost ground my teeth to powder. But slowly, I got used to it. I admit, I have selfish motives and schemes in acknowledging Master as my master, but I would never harm him. I just want to use Master's identity to fulfill some wishes. As long as these wishes can be fulfilled, what's wrong with acknowledging Master as my master for life? Sister, you may think I'm shameless, you may think I've lost my backbone, but that's not true. I crawled out of the den of Evil Spirit Master. Being Master's maid is a million times more comfortable than life in the Holy Spirit Cult."
"Besides, I can't leave my master now. Although I'm conscious, the evil in my Soul Power hasn't been completely eliminated. Once I leave my master, this evil is very likely to grow again. At that time, how can I sit and talk with you like this, sister? It will probably only be a fight to the death. You don't want that, sister, do you?" Leng Yulai sighed softly.
Because of the betrayal of the sect by two holy maidens ten thousand years ago, the Holy Spirit Cult now has terrifying methods for controlling Evil Spirit Master.
Before the evil within her Soul Power was completely eradicated, Leng Yulai dared not leave Xia Yi for an extended period.
Now, having such a heart-to-heart talk with Leng Yaozhu, she couldn't help but recall the days when she was in the Holy Spirit Cult, wishing she could devour Leng Yaozhu alive every day.
Although it wasn't revealed.
But now, she feels really good, really good.
Even though Leng Yaozhu slapped her hard.
She wasn't angry at all.
The Leng Yaozhu Leng Yaozhu was just now, the more it showed that she cared about her.
Decades later, she felt the feeling of home again.
She would never allow herself to fall into the trap of becoming Evil Spirit Master again.
"Whatever you want to do, as long as you promise me you won't do anything immoral, I can get Xia Yi to help you. You don't need to call her your master." Leng Yaozhu gently hugged Leng Yulai.
The more Leng Yulai spoke, the more heartbroken she felt.
