Chapter 499: The Demon King Admires Huang Daxian's Control Over the Younger Sister

In Huang Daxian's cultivation chamber, Heifeng stood there with a solemn expression, like an immovable iron tower.

Heifeng suddenly broke the silence, his voice tinged with teasing: "Huang Daxian, you see how conscientiously Baihong Xianzi is acting; this elixir must be her heartfelt gesture, so please accept it."

Huang Daxian glanced at the elixir, the corner of his mouth twitching into a half-smile: "Heifeng Elder, if you like it, feel free to take it for yourself."

Huang Daxian said, "The lingering scent of this Soul-Bewitching Incense is more than I can bear."

Heifeng stared for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Huang Daxian, are you testing my self-control?"

Heifeng said, "I don't have your cultivation level to withstand this kind of fragrance."

Huang Daxian shook his head and sighed: "I appreciate the sentiment, but this elixir is truly more than I can bear."

Seeing this, Heifeng put on a serious expression and said: "Huang Daxian, that's not right."

"Baihong Xianzi can go mad for love to this extent—what a rare passion!"

"You really won't consider it?"

Huang Daxian rolled his eyes: "Heifeng, are you helping me or harming me?"

"I dare not accept such passion."

Heifeng patted Huang Daxian's shoulder, putting on a mysterious air: "Huang Daxian, you need to think this through clearly."

"A woman like that, once she falls in love, it's like heavenly thunder drawing earthly fire—are you sure you don't want her?"

Huang Daxian laughed helplessly: "Heifeng, are you just telling stories?"

"I don't want to become a sacrifice in her love story."

Seeing this, Heifeng helplessly shook his head: "Look, look, how touching."

"Huang Daxian, if you don't accept it, you'll really hurt her feelings."

Huang Daxian looked at Heifeng helplessly: "Heifeng, are you here today to act as a mediator?"

"Why do I feel you're more anxious than Baihong?"

Heifeng gave a hehe laugh: "This isn't just me caring about your major life affairs."

"After all, a woman like that, once she's set on you, not even nine oxen could pull her back."

Baihong Xianzi wiped her tears, speaking firmly: "Indeed,"

Huang Daxian felt somewhat speechless inside, yet he still didn't spare him: "Heifeng, did you eat something strange today? Why are you talking so weirdly?"

Heifeng burst out laughing: "I'm doing this to help you, Huang Daxian. After all, a woman like that is a rare breed—you'd better cherish her well."

Nowadays, in the rumors of Taiyin Shengdi, the relationship between Huang Daxian and Yuehua Xianzi has become the talk of the town after tea and meals.

Since that incident with the Soul-Bewitching Incense, although they have not formally become dao partners, they seem to have developed an ineffable understanding.

Huang Daxian's resoluteness and Yuehua Xianzi's gentleness have become a model couple in everyone's eyes.

Heifeng Elder said with a hint of teasing: "Huang Daxian, nowadays you only have eyes for Yuehua Xianzi, and no other woman catches your eye, right?"

Huang Daxian gave a faint smile: "Heifeng, your information is quite well-informed."

"It's true that Yuehua Xianzi and I lack a formal title, but our feelings for each other go without saying."

Heifeng raised an eyebrow, speaking jestingly: "And what about Baihong Xianzi? She loves you wholeheartedly—are you really not going to consider it?"

Huang Daxian's face darkened slightly, then he spoke solemnly: "Heifeng Elder, are you joking?"

"My feelings for Yuehua Xianzi are known to heaven and earth."

"As for Baihong Xianzi, I appreciate her kindness, but my heart already belongs elsewhere."

Heifeng burst out laughing upon hearing this: "Huang Daxian, if Baihong Xianzi heard these words, she'd probably be heartbroken."

Huang Daxian shook his head with a wry smile: "Matters of the heart cannot be forced; I only hope she understands that it cannot be sought by force."

Unexpectedly, this conversation somehow reached Baihong Xianzi's ears.

She was walking alone in the garden when, upon hearing the news, the flower branch in her hand slipped involuntarily, and a flash of complex emotion crossed her eyes.

Baihong Xianzi felt a mix of emotions; her affection for Huang Daxian had never diminished, yet hearing him so firmly declare his feelings left her both envious and jealous.

She secretly wondered: if she had not fled that day, would the outcome have been different?

The more she thought, the more regretful she became; tears spilled unbidden, tracing her cheeks and dripping onto the petals beneath her feet.

Baihong Xianzi crouched, clutching the petals tightly in her hand, as if trying to knead all her unwillingness and regret into those fragile petals.

"Why?

Why did I run away back then?" Baihong Xianzi murmured, her voice tinged with a sob: "If only I had been braver, could I have won his heart?"

Her tears fell like a broken string of pearls, continuously dropping and soaking her collar.

Baihong Xianzi's heart was filled with self-reproach and pain; she dearly wished time could reverse, giving her a chance to choose again.

Just then, Yuehua Xianzi happened to pass by the garden; seeing Baihong Xianzi in that state, her heart involuntarily softened.

She approached Baihong Xianzi and softly comforted: "Baihong, what's the point of this?"

"Matters of the heart cannot be forced."

Baihong Xianzi lifted her head, tearful eyes looking at Yuehua Xianzi: "Older cousin, I truly regret it—if only I had..."

Yuehua Xianzi gave a soft sigh, gently wiping the tears from Baihong Xianzi's face: "Silly girl, let the past be past."

"Huang Daxian's feelings are settled; you should also let go."

Baihong Xianzi sobbed, clutching Yuehua Xianzi's hand tightly: "Older cousin, what should I do?"

"My heart really hurts."

Yuehua Xianzi gently stroked her hair, speaking softly: "Time will heal everything."

"You are so outstanding; you will surely find your own happiness."

Upon hearing this, Baihong Xianzi felt her pain ease somewhat.

She knew Yuehua Xianzi was right, but truly letting go—how could that be easy?

Yuehua Xianzi gazed at Baihong Xianzi, her heart also filled with myriad feelings.

She knew that Baihong Xianzi needed time to heal the wounds in her heart, and all she could do was stay by her side, giving her support and encouragement.

The sunset fell, the petals in the garden swayed gently in the breeze, as if sighing for Baihong Xianzi's sorrow. And Baihong Xianzi's tears, under Yuehua Xianzi's comfort, gradually stopped; she knew that no matter what the future held, she must stride forward resolutely.

In the council hall of History Tiger City, a group of earth cultivators sat together, either whispering or frowning, as if discussing some major matter.

Suddenly, a scout rushed in, panting, and said, "Everyone, big news! Big news!"

Demon Master Longling raised his brows, his voice deep as he asked, "What's got you so panicked?"

The scout caught his breath, excitedly saying, "It's news about Heifeng and Huang Daxian! They're undercover in the Taiyin Shengdi of King's Eminent City, and they've actually had a fortuitous encounter!"

Upon hearing this, the hall erupted in an uproar.

Tiger King, a burly man, slammed the table and shouted, "An encounter? Quick, tell us!"

Peng King, a tall man with sharp eyes, also showed a curious expression: "Heifeng and Huang Daxian?"

"Weren't they sent on a mission?"

"How did they end up with an encounter?"

The scout cleared his throat, vividly describing, "You don't know, Heifeng and Huang Daxian in the Taiyin Shengdi not only succeeded in infiltrating but also, somehow, won the hearts of many female disciples!"

"What?!" everyone exclaimed in unison, their faces full of disbelief.

A glint flashed in the Demon Master's eyes: "Huang Daxian actually has such charm? I underestimated him."

Tiger King roared with laughter: "Huang Daxian, worthy of being our brother—even as an undercover agent he's made such a huge splash!"

Peng King shook his head, half-joking: "It seems Huang Daxian not only has profound cultivation, his flirting skills are top-notch."

The Demon Master pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "This matter is no small thing; Heifeng and Huang Daxian's status in the Taiyin Shengdi has a major impact on our plans."

"This sudden 'encounter' might bring us more opportunities."

Tiger King nodded in agreement: "Exactly, if Huang Daxian gains the support of the female disciples of the Taiyin Shengdi, our influence in King's Eminent City will become much more solid."

A flicker of cunning crossed Peng King's eyes: "Should we send someone to congratulate him?"

"While we're at it, let's see just what charm Huang Daxian has that could drive our History Tiger City's female cultivators mad."

The demon master smiled faintly: "This idea is not bad."

However, we cannot let our guard down; we must ensure the safety of Heifeng and Huang Daxian.

If their identities were exposed, the consequences would be unthinkable.

The Tiger King slapped his chest: "Don't worry, I'll send people to Wang Kui City to ensure their safety."

The Peng King also stood up: "I will also prepare a great gift, so that our Huang Daxian will be even more at ease in the Taiyin Shengdi."

The atmosphere in the council hall instantly lightened; everyone felt both shocked and curious about Huang Daxian's 'miraculous encounter,' and at the same time they were excited about their plan.

They knew that the success of Heifeng and Huang Daxian would bring an unprecedented opportunity to Lihu City.

And if Huang Daxian in the Taiyin Shengdi knew that he had caused such a commotion in Lihu City, he would probably laugh and cry at the same time.

After all, he never imagined that his own accident would stir up such a huge wave.

At the same time, in the core of the Huanyu Taiyin Shengdi, there stands an ancient and mysterious pagoda named the 'Chongxiao Tower.'

The Chongxiao Tower towers high, piercing the clouds, as if linking the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Around the ancient pagoda curls a thin mist; faintly visible on its surface are profound runes etched, which emit a dim light, seeming to contain boundless power.

Inside the Chongxiao Tower is an excellent place for cultivation in the holy land; it is said that each level forms its own small world, possessing different cultivation resources and environments.

And in the deepest part of the tower, a man is in closed-door cultivation; he is the fiancé of Yuehua Xianzi, named Cang Xuan Yu.

Cang Xuan Yu's cultivation level is unfathomable; it is said he has touched the edge of the Wanfa Realm, and his strength ranks among the top in the Taiyin Shengdi.

Around his body floats a faint halo, a result of his cultivation method; within the halo, lightning occasionally flickers, as if containing the power to destroy heaven and earth.

One day, Cang Xuan Yu was assaulting the bottleneck, trying to break through to a higher realm, when suddenly his heart jolted and a strong sense of unease welled up.

He abruptly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing in them, as if able to pierce the void.

'Yuehua Xianzi has met with misfortune!' A surge of fierce anger and worry rose in Cang Xuan Yu's heart; he immediately halted his cultivation, his form flickered, and he vanished from the spot.

The next moment, the doors of the Chongxiao Tower burst open with a boom, a powerful aura erupting from within, and the entire Taiyin Shengdi felt the fluctuation of that aura.

Cang Xuan Yu's figure appeared outside the tower, his face grim, his eyes flashing with angry fire.

"What?"

Yuehua Xianzi actually became dual cultivators with Huang Daxian?!' Cang Xuan Yu's voice thundered like a clap of lightning, shaking the surrounding space, 'Huang Daxian, you dare to covet my woman, I will make you pay!'

His words were filled with killing intent, and the surrounding air seemed to grow heavy because of it.

A terrifying pressure emanated from Cang Xuan Yu's body, making the surrounding disciples' faces change; they felt as if they were being stared down by a Honghuang giant beast, and fear rose in their hearts.

Cang Xuan Yu's figure shot up into the sky, turning into a stream of light, flying toward the location of the Xu Dong in the Tianji Shengyu.

His speed was extremely fast, leaving a long light trail in the air, like a meteor streaking across the heavens.

'Huang Daxian, you'd better pray you can withstand one of my strikes! Otherwise, I will make you know what true terror is!' Cang Xuan Yu's voice echoed across the Taiyin Shengdi's skies, each word striking like a heavy hammer on everyone's hearts.

Heedless of everything, he sought to rush out of the Taiyin Shengdi and head for the Tianji Shengyu.

However, at the moment he was about to step out of the holy land, a Cang family elder appeared before him, blocking his path.

This elder was named Cang Lan, one of the oldest elders of the Cang family; his eyes at this moment revealed the sedimentation of years and the light of wisdom.

Elder Cang Lan's voice was steady and powerful: 'Xuan Yu, you are about to break through into the Wanfa Realm; this is an important moment in your cultivation journey.'

Risking danger for a woman is not worth it.

A flash of resolve crossed Cang Xuan Yu's eyes: 'Elder, Yuehua Xianzi is my fiancée.'

Her plight is my affair.

I must go; even if the road ahead is a mountain of blades and a sea of fire, I will seek justice for Yuehua Xianzi.

Elder Cang Lan's brows knotted tightly, knowing Cang Xuan Yu's character is resolute; once decided, it is hard to change: 'Xuan Yu, the Tianji Shengyu is too dangerous; if you enter now and an accident occurs, the loss to the Cang family would be grave.'

You must consider it carefully.

Cang Xuan Yu's face darkened, his voice as cold as icy frost: 'Elder, Huang Daxian must die.'

He not only laid hands on my woman, but also trampled on my dignity.

If I don't kill him with my own hands, how can I face the world? And how can I face myself?

Cang Lan Elder sighed, knowing Cang Xuan Yu had already made up his mind, but he still tried to persuade: "Xuan Yu, I understand your feelings, but impulsiveness is the devil."

If you ruin your future because of this, even the clan leader wouldn't want to see that.

A flash of pain crossed Cang Xuan Yu's eyes, but was quickly replaced by anger: "Elder, I have already decided."

If the Cang family suffers a loss because of this, I am willing to bear all consequences.

But Huang Daxian, I must settle this with my own hands.

Cang Lan Elder's expression turned solemn: "Xuan Yu, you are challenging the family's authority."

If you insist on going your own way, don't blame the family for forgetting familial ties.

Cang Xuan Yu's body trembled slightly, but his steps did not stop, his voice firm and ruthless: "Elder, this is my own choice."

If the family wants to punish me because of this, I have nothing to say.

But Huang Daxian, I must personally kill him to dispel the hatred in my heart.

Having said that, Cang Xuan Yu no longer heeded Cang Lan Elder's dissuasion, his figure turned into a stream of light, breaking through the seal of Taiyin Shengdi and flying toward Tianji Shengyu.

His silhouette traced a firm trajectory in the sky, as if announcing his determination.

Cang Lan Elder watched Cang Xuan Yu's receding back, his heart filled with worry.

In the core of Taiyin Shengdi, the Cang family, as one of the ruling families of the holy land, possesses extremely high status and authority.

Cang Xuan Yu, as the Cang family's heaven's chosen, his every move affects the future of the entire family.

When he learned of the matter between Moonflower Fairy and Huang Daxian, anger and jealousy burned like fire in his heart; now he has fallen into a frenzy seeking revenge, he must report back to the clan leader for a decision.
