Chapter 80 -80 Marquis Ding Shan Residence_1

Liu Xiaoyu had been staying in the Marquis Ding Shan Residence for several days, constantly feeling worried and wanting to go out to find her sister.

She was originally a carp in Jinhua River, and the only one in her clan who had cultivated magic powers. Yet, she was still not capable of transforming into human form. On a day when she and her sister were out playing, they happened upon an Amber Cinnabar tree bearing two fruits. She gave the larger fruit to her sister, adding five hundred years to their cultivation; she herself ate the smaller one, adding three hundred years to her own path.

This was how both sisters gained the power to transform into human form.

However, just after they ate the Amber Cinnabar, a wicked turtle demon appeared, wanting to eat them both. In their haste to escape, they got separated.

She had previously told her sister to meet her in Southern Border City, so she came to the city early to wait for her.

Unexpectedly, when she was near Li Family Village outside Southern Border City, she encountered a good-looking human teenager. Although he seemed to be of noble descent, he was friendly and kindly, and came forward to ask about her name and background.

She promptly said that her name was Liu Xiaoyu and she was a fisherman’s daughter from the riverbank who had gotten separated from her sister. She was now in Southern Border City to find her sister.

The young man considerately invited her to stay at his home, saying he was Young Marquis Xia An from Marquis Ding Shan’s residence. He promised that he could use the power of his family to help her find her sister and that they would find her soon. Otherwise, her personal search would be akin to finding a needle in a haystack.

Despite being a demonic creature and having lived for many years, Liu Xiaoyu had never left Jinhua River and lacked worldly experience. In a matter of moments, she was charmed into staying at the residence by the young Marquis.

In this foreign place, the young man’s gentle and considerate nature quickly won over her innocent and pure heart. She considered herself lucky like the naive female demon in legendary stories who met her ideal man upon arriving in the mortal world. All she needed now was to find her sister so she could get married, start a family, and lead a happy and content life.

However, after a few more days, she began to feel that something was not right. The young Marquis left early and returned late every day, apparently very busy. He only visited her occasionally and had no news of her sister.

While she did not question Xia An’s intentions, she was worried about her naïve and innocent sister. If her sister hadn’t encountered such “good luck” and met someone helpful like Xia An, what would she do?

Unable to quell her restlessness, she went out to find Xia An, intending to tell him that she wanted to go out to find her sister herself. She believed that she and her sister shared a telepathic bond and that she could find her sister easily if she went out.

The Marquis’s servants had become somewhat familiar with her in these few days, so she easily made her way to Xia An’s study, which was brightly lit. He must be inside.

Just as Liu Xiaoyu approached the room, she overheard conversation inside.

Inside the study.

Young Marquis Xia An was admiring an ancient, elegant zither on the table with admiration, “This ancient Tan essence! It could have been used to craft an heirloom Magic Artifact, but they chose to refine a useless zither from it. What a waste!”

“For you, Young Marquis, it may be a waste. But for zither lovers, this is a priceless treasure,” the estate manager said flatteringly. “The Marquis also paid a considerable price to acquire this zither, so don’t fail him.”

“Even with this Ancient Tian Yuan Guqin, it’s only a door-opening tool to get close to Xue Lingxue. To catch the eye of the current prodigy of Nanyin Square, much effort is needed.” Xia An laughed, “Dad really gave me a good job, didn’t he?”

“It’s rumored within the palace that Shen Qingyan from Nanyin Square might become the Crown Princess Consort. Xue Lingxue is close to her, and if she marries into our Marquis Manor in the future, your future, Young Marquis, will be secured,” the manager flattered him. “Young Marquis, your skills in wooing girls are unparalleled. They will come in handy.”

“You make me sound like a freeloader,” Xia An harumphed, “If it weren’t for Xue Lingxue being a ravishing beauty in the mortal world, I would never have agreed.”

“Yes, yes, yes,” the manager nodded quickly.

Inner disciples of Nanyin Square generally wouldn’t discuss romantic affairs at this time. Even if they had feelings, it would only be after the chief disciple was determined and the competition ended that their romance would be made public. Otherwise, it would greatly affect their individual popularity, which has been proven by many previous bloody lessons.

However, even though they didn’t announce it, there were many who had someone in mind in advance. After all, no one would know if they were dating in private.

This in no way damped Xia An’s resolve to pursue Xue Lingxue.

Even though many people saw her as an untouchable goddess, to Young Marquis Xia An, who was born into the imperial family, she was not entirely out of reach.

Anything was possible.

Moreover, according to Xia An’s past experience, the more godlike a woman is, the less likely people are to approach her, and the easier it may be to win her over. As long as one can close the distance and enter her life, capturing her heart is not as difficult as imagined.

“By the way, have you mentioned the business to my father?” Xia An asked, “He is wholly dedicated to extending his life through cultivation practices, yet all the resources come from the manor. If the East Whale Guild really cuts off our supply line, he may not maintain his leisurely practice.”

“Of course, the Marquis is aware. He’s in the critical stage of breakthrough, and he temporarily has no time to deal with these mundane matters… Therefore, Young Marquis, you have to shoulder it first,” the steward said helplessly.

“Alas, my father has such great talent, but despite consuming so many resources, he still can’t reach the peak of the Sixth Realm. If there wasn’t this human trafficking business, I’m afraid the entire manor would have been dragged down by him. Why can’t he just give it up?” Xia An said mockingly.

“If the Marquis were to give up, he would be facing his end,” the steward, not daring to say more, chuckled, “Take a chance, and upon reaching the Seventh Realm, it’s a vast new world.”

“Facing his end…” Xia An scoffed.

The laughter carried a clear meaning; so what?

For this kind of father-and-son relationship, naturally, the steward wouldn’t dare to say more. All he could do was pretend not to have heard and chuckle in response.

They were laughing and chatting inside, but Liu Xiaoyi outside turned cold. Although she was naive, she was not foolish, and could decipher the meaning behind Xia An’s words.

Turns out, the lover she thought so highly of was a just a duplicitous scoundrel?

Thinking this, she wanted to quickly leave this place. But when she turned, she screamed in surprise, “Ah…”

Unexpectedly, a tall, thin figure had taken position behind her. This man, clad in black, with a cold face and indifferent demeanor, was as silent as a ghost.

“Heh,” chuckled the black-clothed man upon being discovered by Liu Xiaoyi. Without hesitation, he lifted his hand and struck her on the crown chakra.

Thud.

One strike and Liu Xiaoyi neatly fainted. Even with her hundreds of years of experience as a demonic creature, she had no power to resist.

Hearing the noise, Young Marquis Xia An rushed out from inside. Seeing what was happening, he exclaimed: “Master Lu?”

“Young Marquis,” the black-clothed man known as Master Lu said sinisterly, “This little girl was eavesdropping outside. I caught her.”

“How long has she been here?” Xia An asked.

“Quite a while, I guess,” replied Master Lu.

“Ah…” Xia An shook his head and sighed, “What a pity. It seems we can’t keep her. I had wanted a pure romance with her naive heart.”

“Then I will kill her,” Master Lu said in a matter-of-fact tone, his hand hovering over Liu Xiaoyi’s head.

“Don’t waste it,” Young Marquis waved his hand, “Take her to the ship cabin outside the city and sell her with the next batch of goods.”

“Yes,” Master Lu retracted his hand, picked up Liu Xiaoyi, and disappeared in a flash.

Xia An watched Master Lu disappear for a while. Judging that he had gone far, he snorted, “Who knows what freak he is. He has no interest in women, yet he’s eager to kill them.”

“Well…” The steward, presumably accustomed to Xia An’s gossiping behind people’s backs, couldn’t do anything but laugh, “Master Lu is a member of the Seven Kills lineage of the Heavenly Star Oddity Technique. He tends to be ruthless and heartless. As long as he is loyal to the Marquis Manor, that is all that matters.”

“Seven Kills…” Xia An returned to the room and huffed, “He always said I don’t possess the affinity to be taught by him. Who knows what precious inheritance he holds.”
