Night Infiltration of the Shen Mansion

"Chang Ping, you bastard!" Shen Xiu rarely mustered the courage to confront Chang Ping head-on. She glared at him with angry phoenix eyes and said, "Before you started bullying me, I, Shen Xiu, was a virgin! Besides, don't you know whether I'm still a maiden or not?"

Chang Ping was too detestable, actually doubting her, treating her, Shen Xiu, like what? A prostitute whose lips have been tasted by a thousand men?

Excessive! This is truly too excessive!

"If you didn't sleep with Ghost Fiend, why would he give you a cultivation technique? There must be something sordid between you!" Chang Ping, having lost the argument, released Shen Xiu's fair and smooth swan-like neck and snorted.

He sat on the creaking, dilapidated bed, staring at Shen Xiu, who coughed softly, waiting for her explanation.

Shen Xiu rubbed her neck, pouted her rosy lips as delicate as a rose, and glared at Chang Ping with teary eyes.

What a barbaric and rude fellow! He doesn't know how to cherish a woman at all. I'm never talking to him again!

Once her throat felt better, Shen Xiu took the initiative to explain, "I don't know what's going on either. When Ghost Fiend first met me, we hit it off immediately. He even asked about my mother. Upon learning that she died of grief, Ghost Fiend's face showed a look of sorrow."

"Then, he gave me the Bloodthirsty Demonic Art, saying that if I cultivate this technique, I would definitely become a Black Gold Demon Spirit Master. He also wanted to take me as a disciple and invited me to train at the Dark Guild headquarters. However, I refused. The people from the Dark Guild are all bad people!"

Since Chang Ping knew about her dealings with Ghost Fiend, he must also know about the collusion between the Sacred Family and the Dark Guild. Therefore, she decided not to hide anything and told him everything.

If she kept anything secret and Chang Ping found out, she would definitely be beaten.

"Knowing that, you still accepted his evil technique?" Chang Ping glared at her, his expression softening slightly.

If he guessed correctly, Shen Xiu was probably not the daughter of the former Family Head of the Sacred Family, but Ghost Fiend's offspring.

He just didn't know if Shen Xiu's mother had an affair, or if she and Ghost Fiend were originally a couple, but were separated by the old Family Head of the Sacred Family.

However, these were just his wild speculations. To uncover the truth, he still had to face Ghost Fiend directly and make him tell.

"If I recall correctly, Ghost Fiend should be a peak Black Gold Demon Spirit Master. He possesses a magical artifact bestowed by the Demon Lord, capable of unleashing Legendary-level power. I am no match for him right now," Chang Ping thought to himself.

Although he had wronged Shen Xiu, he had no intention of apologizing.

Apologizing to such a vicious woman who consumed human hearts would be a betrayal to those who died innocent deaths.

"You are forbidden from cultivating the evil technique Ghost Fiend gave you from now on! Do you hear me?" Chang Ping commanded forcefully.

Who are you to tell me! You're not even my husband!

Shen Xiu retorted silently in her heart. She only dared to retort in her mind; if she dared to say it openly, she was sure Chang Ping would teach her a harsh lesson.

However, to be honest, her current relationship with Chang Ping was merely one of mutual exploitation. Once the poison in her body was resolved, she would leave him without hesitation.

Shen Xiu shrugged, looking helpless. "Even if I wanted to cultivate it, I can't anymore. The Bloodthirsty Demonic Art is a very peculiar cultivation technique. If a woman cultivates it, she must remain a virgin and can only consume the heart blood of a virgin boy. Men cultivate it the opposite way."

"You mean, if a man wants to cultivate this technique, he must remain a virgin and drink the heart blood of a virgin woman?" Chang Ping raised an eyebrow, having a very in-depth exchange with Shen Xiu. He couldn't cultivate it now.

"Not so, not so." Shen Xiu shook her head. "If a man wants to cultivate the Bloodthirsty Demonic Art, he must not be a virgin, and he must drink the heart blood of a non-virgin."

"What the hell?! The difference is that big? It's gender discrimination!" Chang Ping didn't know what to say.

Although he met the conditions for cultivation, Chang Ping had no intention of practicing such an evil technique.

It felt like being a vampire, making him feel disgusted.

No, he didn't have a heart anymore.

"Alright, let's not waste any more time. There's no time to delay, lest we have more trouble. Let's set off quickly!" Chang Ping took out the Universal Mask from his space ring and disguised himself as Yu'er.

Shen Xiu handed him a maid's dress she had prepared beforehand, muttering softly, "If it weren't for you wasting time, we would have already arrived at the Sacred Family."

"What are you muttering about?" Chang Ping's eyes widened.

"Nothing!" Shen Xiu quickly shut her mouth.

Chang Ping wrapped some cloth strips he got from who-knows-where around his chest, tied them, and put on the maid's dress.

Just as Shen Xiu thought they were about to leave, Chang Ping suddenly spoke.

"Get on the table!"

Shen Xiu's delicate body trembled. "What for?"

"Yes!"

After a smooth session, the two took a carriage and traveled all the way to the Sacred Family.

Inside the carriage, Shen Xiu sat opposite Chang Ping, her face flushed and her legs pressed together nervously. She worried that Chang Ping might do something to her in the carriage.

To her surprise, Chang Ping made no improper moves until the carriage stopped in front of the Sacred Family's main gate.

Shen Xiu felt a little disappointed.

The two quickly got out of the carriage.

With Shen Xiu leading the way, their actions went very smoothly.

After passing a three-way intersection, they reached Shen Xiu's small courtyard. Both of them let out a sigh of relief.

Just as they were about to turn the corner, someone suddenly appeared from the other side.

The two quickened their pace.

"Stop! Who are you?" the person shouted, covering the distance in three quick steps and chasing after them.

Chang Ping thought the voice sounded familiar, but he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.

Shen Xiu turned around, shielding Chang Ping, who was a head taller than her, behind her.

Chang Ping extended a carrot-thick index finger and playfully poked Shen Xiu's soft waist with a smirk.

"Behave yourself!" Shen Xiu's body trembled. She glared back at him and reprimanded him with annoyance.

Chang Ping shrugged.

What's the big deal? If we're discovered, I'll just kill them.

After all, I have the strength to eliminate a Black Gold One-star Demon Spirit Master now.

"Shen Xiu? What are you doing wandering around so late at night?" a mysterious person holding a lantern asked them, looking confused.

Who is this guy, daring to call the Sacred Family's Eldest Young Lady by her name?

Chang Ping retracted his gaze from Shen Xiu's alluring backside and turned his head.

"Holy crap?!" Upon seeing the person's face, Chang Ping was instantly shocked.

It's that bastard Shen Fei!

"What I do doesn't seem to require your supervision," Shen Xiu said, crossing her arms and her expression growing colder than the moonlight above.

Shen Fei snorted. A lowly concubine's son, daring to speak to me like this, how presumptuous!

However, considering Shen Xiu was a generation older than him, Shen Fei didn't lash out.

"Yo~ Is this your aunt's personal maid? She's really pretty! Hehehe." Shen Fei's eyes lit up when he saw "Yu'er" hiding behind Shen Xiu.

There's still a maid in the manor I haven't touched.

Shen Fei had OCD; he absolutely would not allow any untouched maids in the manor.
