- Chapter 81 (2/2)

When all of the girls were dressed properly, he started the lecture about the False Phoenix Art. Given that he had Immortal Emperor’s knowledge, he was able to comprehend everything about the False Phoenix Art in one glance. After his lecture, all of them had a higher understanding of the technique and there were ten of them who immediately break through their cultivation bottleneck.

There were also several females who had unique bottlenecks, but after a few personal advice, they had gotten the answer that they wanted.

From the beginning until now, he had never exploited his authority as an elder by taking advantage of them.

Last night, he plucked my elder sister, Bai Lu, but why did he become so decent today?

Bai Xiu was baffled by Ning Fan’s behavior.

He was the one who did that to my sister… but he doesn’t look like one of those bad guys… Bah! If he isn’t the bad guy, who is?

…

After leaving Dual Cultivation Palace, he paid a visit to Bai Lu in her room. She was crying just like what he had imagined. She was currently in a deep sleep, naked in her blanket. Her face was still red in color, and he could sense a hint of pain from her expression.

She was having a cold! The Harmonious Spirit Bai Lu was having a cold! Her body must have gotten pretty weak to be infected by a disease that could only affect ordinary people. He couldn’t believe that she had fallen sick after just breaking her hymen.

“Don’t, don’t touch my sister…I will kill you!”

She sleep-talked.

“Although it was just a one-night-stand, you have already become my cauldron and I have already promised that I won’t treat you badly.”

He patted his storage pouch and took out a Second Revolution pill named Bright Yellow Pill.

In the Mortal World, this pill was claimed to have the resurrection function because it could cure all diseases of mortals. But because cultivators rarely get sick, this pill was considered not valuable.

He placed the pill inside Bai Lu’s mouth and exerted his magical power on top of her dried and cracked lips to send the pill down to her belly.

Then, the sleeping Bai Lu suddenly bit on Ning Fan’s finger, but it wasn’t painful.

“I will bite you to death, Ning Fan! I will bite you to death! I hate you!”

“Hate me? It will be strange if you don’t hate me, but whether you hate me or not, it is none of my business.”

Ning Fan pulled his finger back from her mouth. Though he knew she was unconscious and couldn’t hear what he said, he said it anyway for some reason.

Bai Lu’s cold would pass when she woke up.

Even though yesterday was a misunderstanding, he didn’t have much guilt about it. If his cultivation base was slightly lower, he would be the one plucked to death by Bai Lu. By then, who would help him seek justice?

As he turned and was about to leave, the unconscious Bai Lu clasped her hand on his arm. Now, half of her body had gotten out of the blanket and her bosoms were full of clawing marks and bruises from Ning Fan.

“Mom, don’t go… Lu Er wants to listen to a lullaby…”

Mom…

This one word made Ning Fan’s heart shiver.

“I don’t have any parents… It seems like your life is happier than mine. What lullaby do you wish to hear?” He suddenly became soft hearted.

“I want to hear, the fisherman’s song… I want to… listen…” She said weakly.

“I only know the fisherman’s song of Wu Country, not Yue Country’s.”

He closed his eyes, recalling every scene back in Hai Ning in his memory. He was a cultivator, a brother and an orphan. He was adopted by Ning Family and had become the servant of this family. Although he wasn’t related to Ning Gu by blood, they were close brothers.

The egret flies in front of Mount Cisser,

Fat mandarin fish was swimming in the lake under the shade of peach blossom,

The green bamboo hat,

And the green straw coat,

Are good at withstanding the wind and drizzle.

He sang slowly and comfortably. Within his tone was the kid Ning Fan, but most of the tone was full of composure that he had gained through the half a year of encounters.

There’s no need to return… the fisherman has the water and mountain, he won’t be willing to return home.

He, on the other hand, had no home, because Haining Ning Family wasn’t his home.

Perhaps he had his own home—the Seven Apricot City, where his master was at right now; Ning City where his young and beautiful wife Zhihe was waiting for him; and, the Nameless Village where his brother Ning Gu was at. But would Sinister Sparrow Sect become one of his residence as well?

After a few rounds of singing, he felt that the grip on his arm was loosen. She had fallen back to sleep.

He then let out a deep sigh before he turned and left.

It was ridiculous for him to sympathize with his enemy. From this aspect alone, he, who was the devil, had failed completely.

If he couldn’t get rid of his homesickness, he wouldn’t fit to practice the devil cultivation.

Must a devil have no sentiments or must a cultivator have no worldly relation?

A trace of uneasiness started to stir in his heart. Such a feeling would only get stronger as he approached the Gold Core realm.

“Heart Devil.” He frowned. Because Devil Path had the fastest speed of advancement, it had most number of Immortals (Devil Immortal) produced. And this cultivation path would easily cause the cultivator to fall into Qi Deviation[1]. The higher the cultivation base, the stronger the Heart Devil.

There were gains and losses. Though the Yin Yang Transformation had a heaven defying divine power, it also had tremendous drawbacks. He was afraid that he would encounter the first ordeal of Heart Devil during his core formation period. If he failed to overcome this ordeal, he would die for certain.

His Heart Devil was most probably the sentiments he had for his friends and families, so how could he get rid of it?

He was heading towards the main hall of the sect, carrying a glum look on his face.

Along his way, the other disciples who saw his gloomy expression retreated meters away to avoid any conversing with him.

Some False Core elders were shocked by Ning Fan’s expression.

“Could it be true? This Ning Fan hasn’t even reached the peak of Harmonious Spirit realm, so how could he possibly encounter the Gold Core realm Heart Devil now…? Th-th-this brat is truly heaven defying!”

Even those False Core experts had to spend decades of comprehension to encounter the Heart Devil. If Ning Fan could sense his Heart Devil so early, it was only a matter of time before he broke through to the Gold Core realm.

So, how could this not shock the elders?
