The beautiful maidens of the Celestial Devil Lodge quietly watched. Ba Xiao could be considered a famous character on the Fallen Devil Island. Now, the two maidens Ye Zimo brought over were actually able to stand equally against him.
"Xin Yu, earlier when I looked at the two of you, I felt a little strange. It's like he isn't the one chasing after you but you … that feeling is indescribable, like you owe him something. What did the two of you talk about the first time you met?" The beautiful maiden accompanying Ye Zimo asked in a light voice. Her observational abilities were extremely strong, she could sense the strangeness between Qin Wentian and Xin Yu earlier.
Xin Yu's beautiful eyes flashed with waves. The feeling she had today, even she herself couldn't describe it. It was different from the past.
"He said he wants to redeem my freedom." Xin Yu spoke in a light voice.
"Isn't this what everyone who came here would say? It's just that he wants to obtain us." The maidens of the Celestial Devil Lodge could see through everything.
"He said that there's no need for me to give up everything. If I feel that I owe him, I can just be his serving girl for a few years. Also, before this I asked him if he was willing to marry me. He clearly said that he already has someone he loves and wouldn't have any connection with me." Xin Yu lowered her head, feeling complicated in her heart.
The people around were all stunned.
"You rejected him?"
"Mhm." Xin Yu nodded lightly. "That's why I asked him if he would come again because I feel that I've missed out on this opportunity. He might not come again."
"Seems like your heart is truly moved. And from the looks of this battle, he truly isn't an ordinary person. But Xin Yu, don't worry. You are so beautiful and Ba Xiao has already fallen head over heels for you. How can he not come again?" The maiden at the side laughed.
"You guys don't understand the feeling of being together with him." Xin Yu smiled and shook her head. "In the past, no matter how lofty and aloof the geniuses were, they would still be unable to control themselves and would need us to take the initiative to avoid them. But for him, if I don't take the initiative to lean on him, I feel that he might not even touch me at all."
The maidens all exchanged glances. Under such a charming environment, in addition to the might of the Mercury Lady Devil Art, Qin Wentian was actually able to do it to such an extent?
Raising his head and gazing into the distance, Ba Xiao's aura was unparalleled as devil might gushed forth from him. Qi Da also soared up into the air as his body of laws enveloped his body. His battle might towered up into the clouds, terrifying to the extreme.
Ba Xiao then glanced at Ye Zimo and Qin Wentian. After that, an even more fearsome devil might gushed forth as he took out a terrifying devil hammer that seemed capable of shattering the earth.
"Buzz." When Qin Wentian saw this, he took a step forward. His aura burst out instantly and an incomparably sharp sword appeared in his hand. The sword was like a demon, and the Shadow of a Roc shone brightly. It seemed as if it was going to soar into the sky. He broke through the sky.
"Only the seventh stage realm?" Ba Xiao coldly stared at Qin Wentian. His hammer smashed towards Qin Wentian as numerous tyrannical bolts of devilish lightning manifested in the air, akin to a devil calamity capable of destroying the heavens and earth, containing the power to destroy the world.
Qi Da didn't act. Instead, Qin Wentian slashed out with his sword, breaking apart the void.
A crescent-shaped sword light flashed in the sky as numerous terrifying Roc swords slashed out, slashing into the devilish tribulation energy of darkness as terrifying rumbling sounds rang out.
Violent devil waves churned unceasingly in the air as Qin Wentian's aura gushed forth like a torrential downpour.
"RUMBLE!"
Qin Wentian took a step out, soaring up into the air. Boundless sword might radiated from him, as though there were tens of thousands of ancient sword runes of darkness floating around him, converging onto the body of his sword, radiating a terrifying destructive sword light.
"Brother Qin, the Royal Devil Sect this man is from is a terrifying power on this island. Even if you want to kill him, it wouldn't be too late to do so during the devil emperor's birthday celebration. But if you kill him now, there would be great trouble." Ye Zimo's voice rang out in Qin Wentian's mind. Qin Wentian's heart trembled slightly.
Ye Zimo's considerations weren't without reason. Although those major powers wouldn't interfere in battles between juniors, if someone really dared to act against them, how could they be so kind? They would directly send experts to kill their way.
On this Fallen Devil Island, Qin Wentian had no foundation.
Only to see Ye Zimo soaring up into the air as he took out a tyrannical devil weapon. He stared at Ba Xiao, "Ba Xiao, if you really disregard everything and start a battle here, you will definitely end up in a miserable state."
Ba Xiao turned ashen. He knew a little about Ye Zimo's strength and had fought against Qi Da before. Now that he was fighting against Qin Wentian, he understood that it was basically impossible for him to kill Qin Wentian here. In fact, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.
"I will spare your life for now. I will take your dog life on the day of the devil emperor's birthday celebration." Ba Xiao coldly spoke. After that, devil might gushed forth, gushing towards Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian slashed out with his sword, only to see Ba Xiao turning and departing.
"You are clearly a stray dog, yet you still want to make it sound more beautiful before scramming away? Only by doing so would you be able to look better?" Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. The devil might from afar was extremely violent.
Qin Wentian kept his sword as his aura dissipated. Ye Zimo spoke, "Brother Qin, let's go."
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded lightly. The three of them then sped away, not even turning their heads back.
Within the Celestial Devil Lodge, Xin Yu and the other maidens stared at the departing figures as shock filled their hearts.
Ba Xiao actually retreated. Although he did so in a domineering manner, it was just like what Qin Wentian said. Since he retreated, it meant that he wasn't a match for Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian's cultivation base was actually only at the seventh-level but he could fight head-on against Ba Xiao. His subordinate Qi Da was very assured of him and Ye Zimo also seemed to be doing his best to rope him in, wanting to form a good relationship with him.
This man was getting more and more unfathomable.
For the next few days, Qin Wentian roamed around the Fallen Devil Island. The number of experts gathered here grew more and more. Qin Wentian could already sense that very soon, he would be able to see many familiar faces.
The birthday celebration of the devil emperor would surely be extremely lively.
During this period of time, Ye Zimo naturally brought up the topic of going to the Celestial Devil Lodge again and intentionally mentioned Xin Yu. However, Qin Wentian didn't head there.
The maidens of the Celestial Devil Lodge all cultivated the Mercury Lady Devil Art. However, Qin Wentian didn't wish to borrow the strength of women to improve himself. As for Xin Yu, given how beautiful she was, in addition to the fact that she cultivated the Mercury Lady Devil Art, Qin Wentian's heart naturally swayed as he felt some emotions stirring in him.
Qin Wentian wasn't a saint, he was only an ordinary person with a high cultivation base. It was impossible for his heart to be as calm as still water. In addition, after experiencing the temptation of the Mercury Lady Devil Art, it was extremely difficult for him to forget that scene. Any man who experienced it once would find it hard to forget.
But if one were to speak of deep feelings, it was impossible to speak of. He and Xin Yu had merely met once. Now that they were outside, although he would still think of her face, he wouldn't feel any impulsive emotions. In addition, before this, he had asked Xin Yu if she was willing to come out with him. Since Xin Yu rejected him, he would naturally respect her choice.
Because of this, Ye Zimo joked with Qin Wentian, saying that this fellow had a heart of stone, neglecting a beauty. From Ye Zimo's perspective, if Qin Wentian went out a few more times, there was a high chance that he would be able to win over Xin Yu.
The date of the devil emperor's birthday celebration got closer and closer. Today, in the Celestial Devil Lodge.
Xin Yu stood in the pavilion, staring in the direction of the island in the lake. From her position, she could clearly see everything there, but from there, she couldn't see what was happening here.
"During these days, he hasn't gone out even once. Could it be that his heart is truly moved?" A maiden appeared beside Xin Yu as she spoke.
"Stop joking." Xin Yu spoke in a light voice.
"Are you joking? He's here." The maiden pointed to the pavilion. Xin Yu's beautiful eyes flashed as she turned her gaze over only to hear a light laugh from the side, "Look, you are still lying. During these days, you have been waiting for him to come, right?"
Xin Yu naturally understood who the maiden was referring to. It's just that even she herself didn't know what she was waiting for. Her heart was extremely complicated right now.
Was she waiting for him to come and tell her that he was willing to redeem her and leave?
However, her senses weren't wrong. As expected, he didn't come and wouldn't come to the Celestial Devil Lodge again.
"He won't come again." Xin Yu spoke in a light voice.
The woman gently nodded and said, "Looks like it really is as you said, he is a little different from the others. Otherwise, when faced with your temptation, he would personally send you an invitation. Who would be able to bear not coming to see you? Or perhaps, he is just a heartless person."
Xin Yu shook her head lightly. If he was a heartless man, he wouldn't have mentioned the woman he loved back then and would think of ways to toy with her instead.
"I'm going to see the lodge lord." Xin Yu suddenly turned and spoke.
"What do you want to do?" The expression of the maiden beside her changed.
"I have something to ask the lodge lord." Xin Yu spoke and sped away, as though she had decided on something.
...
Outside the four great sects of the floating emperor palace, there were countless experts gathered at the testing grounds of the devil caves.
Azureflame Tuo and his wife Yan Yuxin as well as several other geniuses all appeared here. In fact, even Yan Yuruo was following behind them.
During these days, the devilish female was in an extremely bad mood. Her gaze roamed the surroundings as though she wanted to search for something. However, there were so many people here but there was no one she could see.
"That bastard, he actually didn't return. As expected, he planned to slip away the moment he arrived at the Fallen Devil Island." Yan Yuruo pouted as a hint of depression flashed in her eyes. During these few days, Qin Wentian had actually vanished into thin air, there was no sign of him at all.
"Yuruo, you should also try to see if you can pass one of the four devil caves. This is the qualification to enter. If you fail, even father wouldn't be able to bring you in. This is the rule of the devil emperor's birthday banquet." Yan Yuxin walked to the side of Yan Yuruo as she spoke.
"You guys obtained it?" Yan Yuruo asked.
"Naturally. Your brother-in-law obtained the golden medallion and would be able to obtain a good position. Let's hope that he would be able to display his brilliance on the day of the birthday banquet." Yan Yuxin spoke to the devilish female. "Also, the other geniuses have all obtained the golden medallion. Yuruo, there's no need to think about that person anymore. He isn't worthy."
"You don't need to care about my matters." Yan Yuruo coldly spoke. She had been brooding over the matter of Qin Wentian leaving and was extremely unhappy with her elder sister.
"Fine, I don't care. You can do whatever you want." Yan Yuxin coldly stated, "Wait until you participate in the Demon Emperor Palace's grand event, when you see the countless geniuses competing against each other, your way of thinking will eventually change. You will understand that everything your sister said is true!"
