Chapter 117

XunMi silently rolled her eyes, can these people first explain everything clearly? Why were they getting so excited? She didn’t know anything yet. What can Sacred Flame do for them?

Finally, GongZi Su felt XunMi’s puzzlement and let out a light chuckle. “Sacred Flame is an extremely intense technique. Only those considered heavenly gifted can cultivate such a technique. Demon energy is created from a ying grievance energy type. Nothing can dissolve it except for Sacred Flame. The reason our hidden family clan is hidden is to guard the forbidden forest filled with demon energy. It was fine before. But during the competition, demon energy attacked the seal and created a split. We first thought that no demon energy was able to escape but based on what you just said, it seems that the demon energy charged at the seal because it felt Liu ZhenXin’s beckoning.”

XunMi listened to everything seriously. “That means that to restore the seal, we need a strong yang energy cultivator. And yang cultivators are few in the clan so you needed a shortcut, which was to have you and another yang cultivator get together?” Black lines appeared on her forehead. This kind of series of events were far to familiar.

If this was the average person, the next step would be the man having no choice but to leave his lover and marry another woman for the greater good. Then, the man’s lover would leave in tears and meet another man that will heal her broken heart. Two couples and one happy ending.

Or maybe the woman would discover that the man was forced and that he actually still loved her. After the seal was resolved, he would come to find her. After another series of chasing and rejecting, ‘I love you’ and ‘I hate you’s, they would get their happy ending.  _(:3ゝ∠)_

Luckily, her and SuSu were not the average couple. They didn’t want that kind of stupid misunderstanding and sadomasochistic love.

She believed that love was fragile. No matter how deeply you love, if you are hurt, there will be a wound. Even if you don’t mind in the moment, that wound will fester sooner or later.

They all say you never forget the one that got away but, to her, that was just another type of obsession. You feel a bit unjust in your heart: why can she have him and I can’t? There might have been real love once but it would only degenerate in such a relationship.

GongZi Su nodded his head and pulled XunMi’s hand to have her sit down with him on the side. “En, when demon energy enters the body, that person becomes a demon too. The power of black magic will grow too. When it reaches a climax, it can awaken the demon king. A few thousand years ago, the demon king almost toppled TianZe mainland by himself. Reportedly, someone that had already ascended as a god came down and sealed him up. Then, he selected my clan to oversee and guard the seal.” They didn’t know how true the story was but they knew clearly the power of the demon energy. Any living creature that inadvertently approached the forbidden forest would be corroded quickly.

Thus, they would inspect the seal each year and strengthen it so that the demon energy could not escape out.

“What do you need me to do? I’m here with you.”

“Restore the seal with me.” GongZi Su helped brush a stray hair to rest behind XunMi’s ear.

“Okay,” XunMi rubbed her cheek on GongZi Su’s hand.

Hua WuMo ‘s eyes swelled as she watched the two. In the end, Su gege still wasn’t hers. But she really really loved Su gege.

Hua family head patted his daughter’s head and sighed. He could have tried to force GongZi Su to marry her then but now…

Hua WuMo ran out heartbroken. She didn’t want to see a woman more outstanding than her standing by Su gege’s side. But she couldn’t stop them.

The Hua family head led a few people to chase after his daughter.

GongZi LiRen rubbed his nose and chuckled sardonically.

“Ah Su, take them to rest first. They must be tired after rushing over.” They’ve secured their son’s future happiness and there’s a solution to the seal problem. Everything was perfect.

GongZi Su supported XunMi up and left the grand hall. Luo Ling and Ouyang HanShuang also followed behind them.

“SuSu, yang energy is most exuberant at noon so let’s go at noon. It’s better to get it over with so we can stop worrying.” XunMi grabbed GongZi Su’s sleeve and tilt her head up at him, her eyes glittering with anticipation.

The seal’s condition must be poor or else they wouldn’t have stooped to such a plan.

GongZi Su tenderly touched her hair, “Mi’er, how could you be so kind.” I didn’t even say anything, you don’t even know what price you might need to pay, yet you voluntarily jump into this trap with me. How was I so lucky enough to gain your pure heart? 

XunMi leaned into GongZi Su’s embrace and smiled brightly. “I’m not kindhearted. If someone provokes me, I’ll retaliate immediately. It’s just because my SuSu is frowning because of this problem and I don’t like seeing SuSu unhappy. Moreover, this is something within my abilities. It’s not like I would overexerting myself. So stop overthinking SuSu. It’s decided! We’ll go at noon.” She rubbed her face onto his wide and warm chest with satisfaction.

No where could beat her husband’s embrace.

Ouyang HanShuang enviously watched the two in front of them. In this moment, she also wanted someone to wholeheartedly stand by her side.

She really was grateful for her teacher. Since coming into this world, it was XunMi that protected her. But it’s been a year, it’s almost time to leave her. Even though she didn’t want to part, she still needed to.

When she finds her own special someone, she’ll also explore every corner of the world with him.

“Hey, what are you thinking about? You’re smiling demonically.” Luo Ling lightly bumped Ouyang HanShuang’s shoulder. He definitely wouldn’t admit that her sudden smile almost made his heart beat out of his chest.

HanShuang rolled her eyes at Luo Ling, “I can tell you I wasn’t thinking of you.”

“Why not?” Luo Ling was a bit disappointed. He suddenly yearned for this person to think of him just a little. He was at first scared by this sudden feeling but then broke out into a smile. It wasn’t a bad feeling.

Ouyang HanShuang twitched her upper lip. What was this fellow laughing dangerously about?

“Keke, ShuangShuang. After we fix this seal, let’s go out and travel together.”

Luo Ling awkwardly rubbed his nose embarrassed when Ouyang HanShuang turned to look at him.

“Go out and travel with you?Okay.” Her teacher and her husband were planning on traveling the world anyways. It would be boring for her to then head off alone.

Now, there was someone saying that they wanted to go with her so of course she wouldn’t refuse.

XunMi and GongZi Su were in the front silently listening in on their conversation while smiling at each other.
