Chapter Eight

Ah.

Wu Yingtai sat on the windowsill as she stared out of the metal bar windows that was preventing her from climbing out of them.

The room she was in was beautifully decorated, as golden candles flickered against the afternoon light.

It was stunningly gorgeous outside, as the smell of spring penetrated the air. There were wild blue deers slowly making their way through the throng of Irises.

"My sweet Yue, what are you thinking about?" Bai Chang Yaozu appeared of no nowhere behind her.

Wu Yingtai slightly stiffens before she yelled internally at herself to keep calm she glanced up at him before looking out of the window again, "are you seriously planning not to let me outside?"

"Well," Bai Chang Yaozu bent over slightly as he chuckled, "from my previous experience, it's safer to keep you locked up."

Wu Yingtai gritted her teeth as she tried to control her breathing; she really hated this man.

Although she had been tortured endlessly by him last night, there were no signs of abuse left on her body.

It was because she forced to consume some pills that instantly healed her wounds. She guessed that was his only redeeming quality, his status as the reverend Saint Ranked Alchemist.

"Haven't you set up an array, how am I supposed to escape?"

"My Yue just forget about it, there's no way I'll fall for your schemes," Bai Chang Yaozu picked up a lock of her hair before bringing it to his nose to sniff. Mhm, she's really precious, such an alluring smell.

Wu Yingtai quietly clenched her fist, why was it after being sealed up for several centuries he became even more powerful?

After remembering she was a cultivator, she had tried to fight against him, only to be subdued before she could even make the second move.

Well...Wu Yingtai shivered slightly, not only has he gotten more powerful, but there was a revolting stench of death around him.

She couldn't sense any demon aura around him but didn't understand where that stench was coming from.

"If you hadn't forced me here against my will I wouldn't be scheming," Wu Yingtai angrily looked at him, finally losing her cool. However, once she saw those cold pair of eyes, she shrivelled up as she wrapped her arms around herself.

"I guessed you haven't learnt from your previous lesson?" Wu Yingtai's mind became blank as she was instantly picked up, and the scenery changed around them, she found herself back inside the room.

Panicked she grasps her thumb only to find the ring around it gone. Where was her spatial ring...oh wait, he took it away from her.

Wu Yingtai laughed in despair as she found herself chained onto the wall again.

It's okay, as long as she treated this as a nightmare, it'll be fine. She'll wake up soon; she'll wake up soon.

----

Dai Meixiu rubbed her forehead as she sat beside Fei Hong. It's been a whole night, and it was mid-afternoon, where on earth was Little Yue?

"Maybe she's busy?" Fei Hong suggested as he peeled lychee for the slightly agitated woman. He'd been teased by her all of last night; if it hadn't been in fear of the demon inside him erupting he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself from Dai Meixiu's teasing!

Dai Meixiu frowned as she absentmindedly ate the fruit, busy? Wu Yingtai was someone who was occupied with nothing but cultivation! Clearly, they went to check the cave she cultivated in that was beside the courtyard, and she wasn't even inside!

With that personality of Wu Yingtai, what other business could she possibly have that'll last for an entire night and half a day?

Dai Meixiu thought of something before a piece of paper appeared in her hand, when Fei Hong saw it he looked blankly at her. What was that?

Dai Meixiu didn't say anything before biting her finger, causing blood to spurt out.

"What are you doing?!"

"Stop talking," Dai Meixiu was slightly annoyed, she didn't like others asking about her actions even if it's someone she suspects to be her gege.

She wasn't close to Wu Yingtai, but she felt that if she was to get rid of the demon inside Fei Hong, Wu Yingtai is someone that'll be able to figure something out.

Although she was powerful, she knew that her own personality was too rash, if Dai Meixiu didn't want to mess up, then she needed a cool-levelled teammate.

Using her blood to draw a symbol on the talisman paper, she closed her eyes and began to chant.

Fei Hong was quietly watching the yellow paper glow slightly before it erupted in red flames and instantly vanishing.

Did she use her blood to draw on a piece of paper to only burn it after? But before he could think anymore into it, Dai Meixiu who had her eyes closed suddenly spurted out blood.

?!

Fei Hong hurriedly supported her who was slightly unstable on her feet, "what's wrong?"

Dai Meixiu opened her eyes, her expression darker than a burnt pot, "Little Yue is in a field of Iris."

Iris? A field of Iris? There are thousands of Iris fields, how were they to know where it was?

"Isn't this possible to find her?"

Dai Meixiu snarled, "it's blue Iris, do you understand what blue Iris symbolises?" It's over, how was this possible? How did something like this happen without the Heavens being notified? Dai Meixiu saw the confused expression of the young man and was feeling slightly irritated at heart.

Although she had wanted to get rid of the demon inside his body and take him to the Heavenly realm to the Soul Stone Chambers, it seems like she'll have to delay it.

How the hell did Wu Yingtai get involved with such people, when did they come to the mundane realm?

Dai Meixiu felt an uncomfortable feeling welling up insider her, anything related to them was always bad news, it's best if she instantly heads off to report to the higher-ups.
