Chapter 117: The Love of Twin Sisters

Chapter 117: The Love of Twin Sisters

"What nonsense are you spouting? I am a guardian spirit beast of the mountain, how could I do such a shameful thing!" The little deer stared wide-eyed, trying to prove its innocence.

An ordinary person might believe it, but Lou Yuqing is the one who controls the melon field, so how could she be fooled by his mere sophistry?

She said slowly and deliberately, "Is Senior angry out of embarrassment?"

"Where did you see that? I'm not angry at all, I'm clearly upset. You're slandering me without any evidence, and you won't even let me defend myself!"

The deer reviewed her memories, made sure she hadn't given anything away, and regained her composure.

Lou Yuqing scoffed: "Senior, you're really stubborn. Well then, I'll just say it straight. Ten years ago, when Elder Ma handed over the garrison duties to the previous elder, you secretly sneaked in and continuously absorbed spiritual energy."

The deer's expression changed drastically.

Lou Yuqing pretended not to see: "To be honest, I really admire you, senior. You managed to hide from Elder Ma and the others and absorb the spiritual energy in the tower without anyone noticing. If I hand you over now, I wonder if the sect can grant you permission to stay in the Spirit Descent Tower a little longer."

Little Deer said incredulously, "No, you really know?! My escape techniques and concealment techniques are clearly already superb, how could a little yellow-haired girl like you catch me out!"

Lou Yuqing snorted, "If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. The spiritual energy you've absorbed over the past ten years is a thousand times, ten thousand times more than mine!"

The little deer was speechless, and scratched its head in a human-like manner, saying, "Then what do you want to do? At worst, I won't bother with your business, and you shouldn't interfere in mine, okay?"

Lou Yuqing crossed her arms and said arrogantly, "Too late, I'm going to report you!"

"No way, I'm a guardian spirit beast of the mountain. Even if you report me, the sect will only give me a verbal punishment at most. It's not worth it for you. How about we make a deal?" Little Deer said with a sly smile.

Lou Yuqing asked curiously, "Oh? Tell me about it."

"You know I am a Void Fortune Beast, but do you know my abilities? I can bestow blessings upon you, helping you improve your fortune for a period of time, bringing you continuous good luck." The little deer proudly raised its head.

Lou Yuqing's eyes narrowed: "Does luck really exist? Didn't you, senior, suffer a sharp drop in your cultivation level due to abusing your abilities and come to the Spirit Descent Tower to escape disaster?"

"You know that too?!"

Little Deer stared in disbelief, then huffed, "I had no choice. It was all to save the Wendao Sect. What's wrong with absorbing some spiritual energy? It's what I deserve."

Lou Yuqing frowned, somewhat puzzled: "What do you mean by that, senior?"

The little deer lazily squatted down, its four hooves on the ground, and said, "To put it simply, the Wendao Sect was in danger, and I sacrificed myself to save the sect. You don't know this most crucial part, girl?"

Strange, the gossip system isn't showing up.

Lou Yuqing looked at the panel again, skimming through it to make sure she hadn't missed anything. A doubt arose in her heart: "What dangers does Wendao Sect face? Please explain in detail, senior. Once I understand the truth, I will naturally not report you. Besides, if what you say is true, why not ask the sect for help directly?"

Little Deer hummed twice: "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. If I tell them, I will be targeted. That person is good at predicting the future. If I disturb his good time, he will not let me off. I can't afford to offend him for the time being, so I have to avoid his sharp edge."

Lou Yuqing was completely confused. After carefully observing the deer's expression, she realized that it was not lying. She wondered who had made it so secretive, and why that person had attacked the Wendao Sect.

"Do Sect Leader Qingxuzi and the others know about this?"

"I don't know. I stopped them secretly. After all, I am the guardian spirit beast of the Wendao Sect, so I couldn't just sit idly by," the little deer said.

Lou Yuqing pursed her lips and said, "Why all the secrecy? Never mind, please leave, senior. I'm going to start absorbing spiritual energy."

Little Deer: "..."

That wretched brat.

A spatial vortex appeared, and the little deer leaped into it, disappearing from Lou Yuqing's sight.

At the core of the Spirit Descent Tower array, Ma Yuanmiao stretched and casually glanced at the light screen. Three months had passed since the disciples entered the tower.

They should all have left by now, judging by the time.

But when he saw Lou Yuqing's figure, he froze for a moment: "..."

Fearing for Lou Yuqing's safety, he flashed and used the power of the restriction to teleport to the fourteenth floor. His vast divine sense reached out and carefully examined her.

Her breathing was even, her heartbeat was normal, she was unharmed, and her aura was stable. However, she was constantly absorbing the spiritual energy of this layer, as if her body contained a bottomless pit.

This was the first time Ma Yuanmiao had seen such a situation. He stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before deciding not to wake her, assuming it was her good fortune.

Lou Yuqing felt as if she were soaking in a spiritual hot spring, her whole body warm and comfortable, her meridians, bones, and flesh being constantly nourished, undergoing a transformative change.

"Whoosh." The sound of breaking through the bottleneck resounded within my body.

Lou Yuqing was engulfed in lightning, which spread outwards to the tower wall, instantly forming a sea of ​​lightning with countless arcs of electricity flashing and leaping as if they were joyfully wandering.

"Embrace the origin and return to oneness!"

A loud shout reached my ears.

Lou Yuqing shuddered, and the scattered lightning-attribute spiritual power was gradually drawn into her dantian. Looking inside her body, a round golden core appeared.

"Thank you for your guidance, Elder."

Lou Yuqing opened her eyes and bowed to Ma Yuanmiao in front of her to express her gratitude. If he hadn't spoken up in time, she would have had to spend more time stabilizing her Golden Core realm.

Ma Yuanmiao extended his hand in a gesture of respect and said calmly, "No need for thanks. The Spirit Descent Tower is now under my jurisdiction, and it is my duty to supervise you. Do you still want to continue challenging the tower?"

Lou Yuqing shook her head: "I have just advanced to a higher realm and need to consolidate my foundation and state of mind. It is not advisable for me to absorb more spiritual energy."

Ma Yuanmiao praised, "That's right. You possess a lightning spiritual root and have remarkable talent. You have a great chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. You must not cut off your future path for the sake of temporary gains."

He waved his hand, and the surrounding scenery changed, bringing him to the first floor of the Spirit Summoning Tower. Through the open door, he could see Sect Leader Qingxuzi and others waiting outside.

Ma Yuanmiao said, "Go."

He watched Lou Yuqing step out of the door, intending to close the restriction, when suddenly a strange mechanical voice rang out, freezing him in place.

Elder Ma has thick eyebrows and big eyes, yet he managed to seduce two women at once. You really can't judge a book by its cover.

Lou Yuqing left the Spirit Descent Tower, feeling a sudden sense of relief. She casually opened the gossip system, picked the nearest gossip enthusiast, and saw that her gossip points had not been wasted.

[They're twin sisters, you have to say, they really know how to have fun!]

Ma Yuanmiao: "..."

Qing Xuzi: "..."

Kui Houming, Gao Xuexi, and the others were dumbfounded.

Ling Yunxiao thought to himself, "The victim has appeared."

No one present doubted the authenticity of his words. The way they looked at Ma Yuanmiao became strange, silently conveying their condemnation of his disrespect for elders.

Ma Yuanmiao wanted to swear. He wasn't the one playing the game; it was them! He was the one being played!

Recalling what happened back then, he wiped away a tear of bitterness.

Before he could even feel sad for a moment, he suddenly realized that those things were his dark past, and if Lou Yuqing were to expose them, his reputation would be even worse than it was now.

"You..." Hmm, I can't say it!

Ma Yuanmiao touched his throat, feeling a bit doubtful about life. Seeing the unsurprised expressions on the faces of his senior brothers and the others, he had a sudden thought and wanted to ask them a question via telepathy.

The next moment, Lou Yuqing cleared his name.

Poor Elder Ma was completely manipulated by the twin sisters. They were twins in one body, essentially two souls in one body. No wonder he didn't notice anything amiss.

Ma Yuanmiao: "..."

Can we please not clarify? It makes him look so pathetic.

Lou Yuqing flipped through the pages with great interest.

[The older sister was originally the one who was dating him, but later the younger sister said she wanted to join in, and the older sister thought it would be more exciting, so she agreed.]

So, Elder Ma had to deal with the older sister's needs, and then the younger sister's, leaving him exhausted like a dog every day.

[Especially my younger sister's requests, each one more demanding than the last. Today she wants the Mystic Ice Jade Marrow, tomorrow the Spirit Rhinoceros White Shell, and the day after tomorrow the Heart of the Oasis.]

Everyone looked at Ma Yuanmiao with sympathy.

Ma Yuanmiao was unwilling to have his secrets exposed, but the more he listened, the more aggrieved he felt, and the more he agreed with them. He wanted to shout to Lou Yuqing: Yes, I suffered so much back then, they were simply witches!

He braved fire and water, all to win a smile from the beauty, only to find that his lover was not his lover. The moment he learned the truth, he was so angry he almost vomited blood.

Ling Yunxiao stroked his chin. He had never heard of these things before; they must be some kind of precious natural treasure.

Qingxuzi knew that the Xuanbing Jade Marrow was in the far north glacier, the Lingxi White Shell was in the far east deep sea, and the Heart of the Oasis was in the far west Demon Sands, all of which were dangerous places.

Junior Brother Ma was willing to risk his life to please his lover.

When he and Wen Niang were together, although they had a deep affection for each other, they were not the type to be sentimental. It would be more accurate to say that they treated each other with mutual respect.

When Junior Brother Ma returned to the sect, he was depressed for a while, and then volunteered to guard the Spirit Summoning Tower. Could it be because he was heartbroken?

"Sect Leader, I'm back."

Sect Leader Qingxu was enjoying himself when he suddenly heard Lou Yuqing's voice in front of him. Startled, he quickly added, "Ahem, you've reached the Golden Core stage. Not bad."

Lou Yuqing nodded demurely. Seeing that he had no further instructions, she stood in the line behind her and transmitted her voice to Ling Yunxiao beside her, "Have you been waiting outside all this time?"

"Yes."

Ling Yunxiao replied, "The sect leader instructed us to wait until the last disciple before leaving. The other sects have already left after receiving their disciples."

Lou Yuqing gestured towards Gao Xuexi with her lip: "If I'm not mistaken, she's a female disciple of the Suyin Sect. How come she's been left behind by their sect?"

"They said they came to Wendao Sect for exchange and learning."

They were actually after her; I wonder what information they wanted to find out.

Ling Yunxiao shook his head inwardly. This kind of thing could easily backfire if you're not careful. The other party had better pray that they don't have any scandals, otherwise they'd be in for a good laugh.

Lou Yuqing glanced at the sect leader and saw that he and Elder Ma were still talking, so she decided to continue watching the drama unfold.

Elder Ma appears to have two Daoist partners, but in reality, he doesn't enjoy any of the blessings. He's often teased by the two sisters with their split personalities, but he seems to enjoy it, as it's a case of one willing to give and the other willing to receive.

Ma Yuanmiao, having just finished an awkward conversation with his senior brother, the sect leader: "..."

The past is too painful to recall. At the time, he thought it was just a bit of fun and didn't take it to heart. Now, when he thinks about it, he realizes it was all a flaw.

[Over time, Elder Ma became mentally unstable and secretly went to see a doctor, but the doctor couldn't find anything wrong. Instead, the doctor warned him against excessive indulgence. Huh?]

"Cough!" "Cough!" "Cough!"

A chorus of coughs erupted from the crowd, as if they had all contracted a contagious disease.

Ma Yuanmiao blushed, not daring to look at the crowd, his heart screaming like a groundhog: Heavens, why do we have to say this!

Qingxuzi placed his fist in front of his lips, desperately suppressing his laughter. He was the sect leader and had to maintain a solemn demeanor.

Lou Yuqing was so engrossed in watching the drama that she ignored the coughing.

Elder Ma thought his mindset was wrong, which was why his wife sometimes seemed like a different person. So he went to a Buddhist temple and cast a purification mantra on himself.

After learning about this, the younger sister's attitude towards Elder Ma changed, and she gradually developed a morbid possessiveness, which soon became uncontrollable.

She told Elder Ma about the situation and asked him to make a choice: if he chose his sister, he should destroy his own soul to allow him and his sister to be together; if he chose himself, he should destroy his sister's soul.

The elder sister tacitly approved of her younger sister's actions; a body can only hold one soul. The two of them had lived in this way for hundreds of years, and were nearing their end, so they had to let their beloved choose.

Elder Ma was truly stunned.

Ma Yuanmiao sniffed.

Indeed, he was devastated when he learned the truth.

His wife's body had two souls, and to make matters worse, they threatened him with death, saying that whichever he chose, the other would die.

What choice did he have? He could only slink away and go find a place to heal his heartbreak.

But they wouldn't let him go. No matter how far he ran, they followed him relentlessly and... they even did those kinds of things to him.

Ma Yuanmiao felt a chill run down his spine and hugged himself in fear. If he hadn't returned to his sect and hidden in the Spirit Descent Tower, those two witches would have drained him dry.

Qingxuzi sighed, "True happiness lies in the ordinary. If you encounter such an obsessive woman, you're bound to suffer greatly."

The disciples sighed deeply, and developed a fear of love.

Only Ling Yunxiao glanced at Lou Yuqing, pondering how to pursue the girl. First, he had to cater to her interests. She liked gossip, so should he give her a big gossip?

But she knows less than I do.

Just as he was deep in thought, Lou Yuqing's words were like a bombshell.

He fled, she chased, but he couldn't escape!

[A classic scene from a melodramatic and tragic novel unfolded in Elder Ma's life: he desperately tried to escape, but the twin sisters relentlessly pursued him, and the two sides tugged at each other for hundreds of chapters.]

Ultimately, the sisters decided to resort to drastic measures, such as imprisonment, dark rooms, and whips, hoping to conquer this man both physically and mentally.

[And so, dozens of chapters went on like this.]

Ling Yunxiao was stunned for a moment; he seemed to have heard something extraordinary.

Qingxuzi nearly choked, his mind filled with the lingering images. He sighed inwardly, wondering how he could possibly look at Junior Brother Ma now.

Kui Houming and the others lowered their heads, appearing as quiet as chickens.

Ma Yuanmiao has been petrified.

Can this disciple please be mindful of boundaries? What should he say and what shouldn't he say? He should have some self-awareness. Besides, he was forced into it and wasn't happy at all.

On a sunny and breezy day, Elder Ma used the excuse of buying something to send the two sisters away, and then seized the opportunity to escape back to the sect to avoid trouble.

[A few days later, the twin sisters caught up with him near the sect, which led Elder Ma to rush into the Spirit Summoning Tower overnight, intending to wait until things calmed down before coming out.]

Elder Ma was obsessed with cultivation his whole life, and it wasn't until he reached the Nascent Soul stage that he fell in love with someone. He never expected it to end like this. It's tragic, so tragic.

Even worse, spurred by his escape, the twin sisters used a secret technique to extract the younger sister's soul, reshape her body, and stuff it back into her.

In other words, they couldn't die, and they were all eyeing Wendao Sect covetously. As soon as Elder Ma left the mountain gate, they kidnapped him and took him back to their cave, intending to share this man.

If Elder Ma can be open-minded, this can be considered a blessing in disguise.

A devastating piece of bad news hit them.

Ma Yuanmiao was on the verge of tears. He thought, "Do you want this blessing? I just want to cut ties with those two sisters. Why do they have to keep an eye on me?"

To be fair, Elder Ma is the most beautiful among the elders, and as she gets older, she becomes even more refined and gentle. In addition, she is thoughtful and considerate, no wonder the sisters can't forget her.

Ma Yuanmiao: "..."

How about he disfigures himself?

Lou Yuqing couldn't give him that answer.

She shut down the system, and a line of text quietly scrolled across the panel—This big juicy gossip has been delivered, and the four people who enjoyed it are: Qing Xuzi, Ma Yuanmiao, Ling Yunxiao, and Gao Xuexi.

Qingxuzi patted Ma Yuanmiao on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged, things can always be resolved. You should have told us sooner, so we could have helped you."

Ma Yuanmiao said with a wry smile, "It won't sound good if people say it, so I'll just accept my defeat. But I didn't expect them to be so persistent. Senior Brother Sect Leader, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Qingxuzi said gently, "No need to be so polite."

After exchanging pleasantries, the gates of the Spirit Tower closed.

Lou Yuqing and the others left the forbidden area. She had something on her mind and refused Ling Yunxiao's request to accompany her to the Law Enforcement Hall. Instead, she returned to Cangtian Peak to visit her master in the main hall.

Unfortunately, Master is still in seclusion.

Lou Yuqing murmured, "It seems that the matter of the Void Beast can only be postponed."

Turning around, he saw Gu Bugai not far away: "Senior Brother Gu, you've come to see Master too? He hasn't come out of seclusion yet. Sigh, your cultivation has reached the Golden Core stage too?"

Lou Yuqing stared at Gu Bugai in astonishment.

Gu Bugai calmly replied, "My old ailment was cured recently, and my suppressed cultivation was released, allowing me to reach my current level."

As his junior apprentice's strength improved, he naturally had to keep up.

Lou Yuqing didn't doubt his excuse and said happily, "That's great, no need to worry about my face cracking."

Gu Bugai smiled slightly. He had spent some time these past few days repairing this avatar.

At this moment, a communication talisman floated over. Lou Yuqing infused it with spiritual power, and Elder Shi Hua's hoarse voice came through: "Yuqing, Qingluan wants to see you one last time."
