Chapter 214

Lan Huanghuang did not hide it either, saying: "Holy Maiden, you also know that because I've been exposed to poisons since childhood and cultivated the Poison Art, my blood is poisonous."

Ren Yingying nodded slightly: "Pure blood... Could it be that your poisonous blood has been purified?"

Lan Huanghuang nodded, then shook her head: "It was purified, but my poisonous blood was turned into blood that detoxifies."

"Blood that detoxifies?"

"It means that from now on, my blood can neutralize all the poisons in the world."

Ren Yingying was stunned upon hearing this, exchanged a glance with Du Bingyan, and said joyfully: "This is a wonderful thing!"

Lan Huanghuang was also very happy.

Suddenly, she thought of her former playmate—Dugu Yiren.

Her current blood should be able to cure the other's innate poison body, right?

……

Jiang Sishui put down his brush and claimed the reward. 3.7

The reason he didn't write about Ren Yingying and Lan Huanghuang's experiences was that he felt there was nothing worth writing about.

Although Ren Yingying is the female lead of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, she appeared too late and didn't take up much space.

From beginning to end, it was either saving Ren Woxing or chasing after Linghu Chong—nothing particularly noteworthy.

Afterwards, as usual, he contemplated the two holy scriptures, the "Art of Absorbing Power" and the "Vajra Indestructible Holy Art."

But just as he had cultivated halfway, Du Bingyan came looking for him: "Big Brother Jiang."

"What's wrong, Bingyan?"

"They've been gone so long—aren't you going to bring them back?"

"... That was careless of me. I'll go over and ask right now."

Watching Jiang Sishui's figure disappear into the light formation, Du Bingyan silently recited in her heart: "Big Brother Jiang has gone over."

"Good, I can see him." Ah Zhu responded, then severed the "Mind Bridge."

237 Taking a Witch Venerable as Wife—The Damn Male Conquest Urge

The moment Jiang Sishui appeared, he saw the women standing in a row, confronting two people in blue robes.

They were none other than Ba Shao and Heichuan.

It turned out that after resting briefly on the spot, Ba Shao and Heichuan had barely recovered a bit of their witch power. Worried about Hou Jian's safety, they hurried to look for her.

They had just arrived here when they saw Hou Jian suspended in mid-air.

The two were overjoyed at once!

Although they didn't know what had happened in the process, Hou Jian had clearly taken the final step toward becoming a Witch Venerable.

Just then, a flock of beauties blocked the two who were about to step forward, not allowing them to approach.

The two hurriedly explained that they were traveling with Hou Jian, but the women turned a deaf ear and continued to block them.

Heichuan was furious and about to act up, but Ba Shao stopped him.

Right now their witch power had not recovered; if they intensified the conflict, they would likely be asking for trouble.

Besides, bullying a group of girls—he couldn't bring himself to lose face like that.

Moreover, Hou Jian was still in the midst of her transformation; they only needed to wait and watch. Once Hou Jian woke up, this group of girls wouldn't be able to stop a Witch Venerable at all.

The women weren't idle either—they hurriedly had Ah Zhu 27 use the "Mind Bridge" to contact Du Bingyan at Mantuo Shanzhuang, asking Jiang Sishui to come personally.

Seeing the two, Jiang Sishui didn't need to ask to know what was going on, and stepped forward at once.

A grown man naturally stood out conspicuously among a flock of beauties, and Ba Shao and Heichuan quickly noticed him.

"It's you!"

After clearly seeing Jiang Sishui's appearance, the two couldn't help but be startled.

Wasn't this the person from the tea shed during the day?

Hou Jian was undergoing her transformation here, and this person they had met once before had appeared again. Moreover, judging from the women's expressions, the man before them was clearly the one in charge.

What on earth had happened in between?

The two immediately became vigilant.

Jiang Sishui cupped his fists in greeting: "The two of you, we meet again."

"Who are you?" Heichuan's tone was unfriendly.

Ba Shao pushed him behind, saying: "I am Ba Shao, and this is Heichuan. May I ask how to address you, little brother?"

"This junior is Jiang Sishui."

"How do you do."

Ba Shao nodded in acknowledgment, then looked toward Hou Jian, saying: "We met at the tea shed before. Little brother should know that this Miss is our companion."

"Of course."

"Then are these young ladies acquainted with you, little brother?"

"Indeed."

"If that's the case, could you say a word to them for us and let us pass?"

Ba Shao looked at Jiang Sishui with burning eyes, waiting for his answer, wanting to know whose idea the women's behavior was, so as to distinguish friend from foe.

Jiang Sishui smiled faintly and got straight to the point: "When I arrived, this Miss was nearly dead. It was I who drove the Divine Sword into her heart and let her achieve the Witch Venerable."

At these words, both Ba Shao and Heichuan changed color at once.

"What did you say? You know about the Divine Sword and the Witch Venerable?! You... you know us?!" Heichuan cried out directly.

This time Ba Shao did not stop him—Jiang Sishui's words were equally a bolt from the blue for him.

Jiang Sishui said composedly: "You come from the Rain Tribe. This time you came out to find the Divine Sword and the Sword Boy, so that this Miss could become the new Witch Venerable."

Ba Shao's face was as dark as water: "What exactly are you, little brother? How do you know our Rain Tribe so well?"

Jiang Sishui did not answer, speaking on his own: "As far as I know, the person who helps the new Witch Lord complete the final step may make one request of her."

He even knows this!

Ba Shao and He Chuan exchanged a glance, utterly stunned beyond measure.

Both felt uneasy in their hearts; the former asked, "What kind of request do you wish to make?"

Jiang Sishui smiled, making both their hearts skip a beat: "I want Hou Jian to marry me, and from now on be my wife wholeheartedly."

"What?!"

Ba Shao and He Chuan were dumbfounded on the spot.

He wants the Yu Clan Witch Lord to marry him as his wife?

This is simply outrageous!

Although requests made to the new Witch Lord are unrestricted, from ancient times to the present, no one has ever gone this far.

If they agreed, what would all these years of effort and hardship amount to?

Merely sewing a wedding gown for someone else?

He Chuan, furious, pointed his finger and cursed: "You... you are dreaming! You are too arrogant! This request is too excessive; we cannot possibly agree!"

"Whether you agree or not does not matter; only Hou Jian's agreement counts," Jiang Sishui said, completely unconcerned.

"You..." He Chuan was left speechless, clenching his fists in anger.

Ba Shao, far more steady than him, said earnestly: "Young friend, I do not know what connection you have with our Yu Clan, but since you know so much, you must not be unaware of the price of making a wish to the new Witch Lord, right?"

Jiang Sishui nodded: "Of course I know; it is a curse. The wish-maker has only three years of life left."

"Since you are clear on this, why do you still do it?" Ba Shao expressed his confusion.

Had it been someone else, he might have thought the person was lustful by nature, willing to die beneath the peony flower, becoming a ghost yet still romantic.

But he did not believe Jiang Sishui would be like that.

After all, the girls around him, judging solely by their looks, were none inferior to Hou Jian.

If Hou Jian was the most attractive, it was probably her identity.

Possessing a Yu Clan Witch Lord would undoubtedly greatly satisfy a man's desire for conquest.

Yet, it should not be worth losing one's life over.

Jiang Sishui certainly would not tell the truth; he casually deflected: "Master, you need not worry about this. I have my own considerations; in any case, I will not become a short-lived ghost."

Ba Shao fell silent.

Just as he was thinking how to persuade Jiang Sishui to change his mind, Jiang Sishui added: "However, I also know the importance of the Witch Lord to the Yu Clan, so I will give the Yu Clan a precious gift as a betrothal present."

"What gift?" Ba Shao asked casually, not taking it to heart at all.

What gift's value could equal that of a Witch Lord?

But very soon, he realized he was wrong.
