122: Damn this demonic path, pure indenture!

Su Yang resided in the side courtyard for three days.

On the evening of the third day, Lin Huanhuan came to the side courtyard to find Su Yang.

“The Sect Master sent me to call you.”

Lin Huanhuan looked at Su Yang with greedy eyes, unable to stop herself from revealing a charming demeanor as soon as she stood before him.

Ever since experiencing Su Yang, she had lost all interest in other men.

Su Yang was idly practicing the Art of Left-Right Inter-fighting when he heard Lin Huanhuan and immediately got up to follow her.

It seemed she had made up her mind!

“Su Yang, our Hehuan Sect is much better than your Profound Heaven Dao Sect. Why don’t you stay with us? I’ll look out for you from now on, big brother.”

Lin Huanhuan leaned against Su Yang, her seductive charm practically begging to pull him into an embrace right then and there.

Unfortunately, Su Yang had no interest in her.

He pretended not to notice.

Following Lin Huanhuan, he arrived at the Palace of Ultimate Bliss.

Su Yang stepped into the palace.

It was pitch black inside, he couldn't see his hand in front of his face.

“Sect Master Bai?”

Su Yang called out, but received no response.

After waiting for a moment, still no one appeared.

Fearing a trap, Su Yang sat down cross-legged and entered his sea of consciousness to fuse with the rune puppet.

In this state, his Divine Sense and will were indestructible, and Bai Lingxi wouldn't destroy his Physical Body, so Su Yang simply continued to practice the Art of Left-Right Inter-fighting in his sea of consciousness.

This was something Su Yang often did in his spare time.

During his previous battle with Xiang Tianwen, Su Yang had realized the power of this move; it could absolutely save his life at a critical moment, so he intensified his practice whenever he had free time.

He meditated in the pitch-black palace for two days.

Finally, a white silhouette slowly emerged from the depths of the palace.

Perhaps it was because Bai Lingxi's strength far surpassed his.

Or perhaps it was the unique nature of the Cultivation Technique she Cultivated; the vigilant Su Yang only noticed Bai Lingxi's presence when she stood before him.

Su Yang opened his eyes. Bai Lingxi was clearly right in front of him, yet there was an ethereal, insubstantial feeling about her.

This woman was incredibly strong!

If not for his unique Innate Kidney Body, Su Yang wouldn't even dare to imagine himself having the right to negotiate with her.

“Greetings, Sect Master Bai.”

Su Yang stood up and bowed, showing all due politeness.

Bai Lingxi's red lips moved slightly, wanting to speak but unsure how to begin.

Though she tried her best to maintain her composure, a faint blush on her face still betrayed the shyness in her heart.

The light around her even made it impossible for her to hide the subtle emotions on her face.

Seeing this, Su Yang sighed inwardly, thinking that such a woman was actually the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect; truly, there was nothing new under the sun.

Since she found it difficult to speak, Su Yang took the initiative and said, “Sect Master, you sought me out, so you must have considered it thoroughly. Why don’t you state your conditions directly?”

Su Yang looked at her, overjoyed in his heart.

If she had considered it and decided not to agree, there would be no need for her to blush and remain silent.

Since she was now flushed and shyly silent, it meant she had already agreed to the conditions he proposed.

Bai Lingxi gazed deeply at Su Yang, trying her best to face the man who was about to take her first time with the demeanor of a Sect Master.

Bai Lingxi said, “I can agree to help you Breakthrough. However, the premise is that you must also agree to my conditions.”

Finally, it came!

Su Yang suppressed his excitement and calmly said, “Sect Master, please speak.”

“First, you must help me complete my Breakthrough to the Void Refining Stage!”

“Second, only after you help me complete my Breakthrough can I help you Breakthrough!”

“Third, after I help you complete your Breakthrough, you must remain in the Hehuan Sect for 1000 years to assist me in my Cultivation!”

“Fourth, after 1000 years, you may leave the Hehuan Sect, but you must return to help me complete my Breakthrough whenever I have a need to Breakthrough!”

Bai Lingxi finished stating her demands.

Su Yang was utterly stunned.

Are these your demands, you damn woman?

This is a slave contract, alright!

Su Yang had originally thought that staying here for three to five years wouldn't be a big problem; as long as it helped him enter the Nascent Soul Stage, three to five years would be worth it.

But you immediately demand 1000 years, who can endure that?

Even the Buddha only dared to suppress Sun Wukong for 500 years; how dare you ask for 1000 years!?

Su Yang looked at the serious Bai Lingxi, truly speechless by her demands.

My Innate Kidney Body is useful, but you can't monopolize it all by yourself.

Seriously!

Su Yang wanted to refuse directly; no dog would agree to such a slave contract-like condition!

However,

With a change of thought, Su Yang swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

She says 1000 years, so it's 1000 years? Why should whatever she says be the final word?

I only asked you to help me Breakthrough, and you immediately came up with four conditions. The others are fine, but this 1000-year slave contract is purely Demonic Path style. Why should I obediently comply!?

Don't think that just because you have a pure aura, you're not from the Demonic Path!

Su Yang had a plan in mind and temporarily suppressed his speechlessness regarding this 1000-year pledge.

However, Su Yang didn't agree immediately either; that would seem insincere and give the impression of being perfunctory.

Su Yang pondered her four conditions repeatedly, then said with a serious expression, “Sect Master Bai, I can agree to the other conditions, but this second one… I don't think it's appropriate.”

“What's inappropriate about it?”

Bai Lingxi asked.

Su Yang explained his concern: “If I help you Breakthrough first, what if you don't help me Breakthrough afterward? Although I'd rather believe Sect Master Bai isn't such a person, I dare not take this risk! My condition is that you help me Breakthrough first, and then I'll help you Breakthrough. Even if I Breakthrough, I'll only be in the Early Stage of Nascent Soul, and your strength, Sect Master, will still be far above mine, so you don't need to worry about me running away after I Breakthrough.”

Bai Lingxi thought that this issue wasn't too big.

So she took a deep breath, her face slightly flushed, and feigned composure, saying, “I agree to this condition! So… how do you wish to Dual Cultivate to Breakthrough? I will cooperate with you!”

Since the discussion had reached this point, Su Yang could no longer hide the matter of the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring, and he said seriously, “My Breakthrough not only requires your Innate First-Grade Water Spirit Root, Sect Master, but also the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring! So I need you, Sect Master, to accompany me to find the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring before I can Breakthrough.”

“Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring?”

A clear look of surprise appeared in Bai Lingxi's eyes.

Su Yang frowned. This girl actually knew about the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring!?

Two of the Three Grand Elders of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect knew nothing about the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring, yet she, the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect, knew about it!?

“You know about the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring?”

“I was born in the Yellow Springs Country!”

Bai Lingxi's single sentence explained why she knew about the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring. She continued, “The Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring is extremely dangerous. Are you sure you need the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring to complete your Breakthrough?”

Su Yang nodded affirmatively.

Bai Lingxi was silent for a moment, then said, “Based on my understanding of the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring, accompanying you to find it is already a very dangerous endeavor, and to complete a Breakthrough through the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring is even more dangerous. The conditions I just proposed are clearly too simple; I need to change them now!”

“Still need to change them?”

Su Yang was utterly speechless.

“After I help you Breakthrough, you must remain in the Hehuan Sect for 2000 years! During these 2000 years, you must help me Breakthrough to the Middle and Late Stage of Body Integration!”

Bai Lingxi said.

Su Yang: ...Pure?

Pure my ass!

Demonic Path!

Pure Demonic Path!

Su Yang cursed inwardly.

But then again, he didn't plan to abide by this agreement anyway, so 1000 years and 2000 years made little difference.

Even 5000 years wouldn't matter!

As if I'd truly let you manipulate me!

However, on the surface, he still had to pretend to consider the pros and cons.

Su Yang stroked his chin, feigning thought for a moment, then said helplessly, “Who told me I needed your help? 2000 years it is, I agree!”

Seeing him agree so readily, Bai Lingxi couldn't be sure if he was just agreeing casually.

Regardless of whether Su Yang was deceiving her, she had to have a backup plan!

She was a person of the Demonic Path!

Not that kind of kind!

As soon as Su Yang finished speaking, a bean-sized ball of light appeared in Bai Lingxi's hand. Before Su Yang could react, the ball of light transformed into a white streak and plunged into Su Yang's abdomen…
