The Holy Maiden Silent Moons suggestion of cooperation revealed that the Demon Palace controlled demonic cultivators through the Demon Seal, which was implanted in their souls and held strong control over them. If any demonic cultivator leaked the secrets of the Demon Palace or showed signs of rebellion, the Demon Seal would backlash, destroying their souls. Souls were fragile, and the Demon Seal was planted at their core, ready to obliterate the demonic cultivators soul if activated.
However, Li Su remained unswayed by her offer. You dont have enough bargaining chips. Im not particularly interested in the Demon Palace, but Im more interested in having a child with you, he replied, emphasizing his desire for a child.
Li Su gently rested his hand on the fragrant shoulder of the Saintess of the Ethereal Moon and proposed, What if we cooperate to conceive a child together? He fixed his gaze on her and added, If you approach any closer, Ill end my own life.
Saintess Silent Moon found herself unable to counter Li Sus advances and resorted to threatening self-harm. Is that so? Then go ahead and demonstrate, she retorted.
Undeterred by her threat, Li Su persisted in his actions, his hand gradually drawing nearer. Saintess Silent Moons deanor grew colder, her eyes narrowing dangerously as they locked onto Li Sus unyielding gaze.
Li Su, however, showed no signs of weakness. He continued his approach, a faint smile playing on his lips. See, you cant bring yourself to end it, he taunted.
The Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon bit her lip, her delicate fra trembling, and finally exclaid, Shaless!
It wasnt that she lacked the desire to act. Rather, she had inadvertently triggered the Demon Seal. It wouldnt claim her life, only causing severe damage to her soul. Having reached the Nascent Soul stage, she was determined to break free from the Demon Seals control. No practitioner of the dark arts wished to be manipulated, especially at her level.
While powerless against the Demon Seal in her weaker monts, she had devised counterasures as she grew stronger, bolstering her formidable soul with specialized techniques. The Demon Seal couldnt truly kill her, but it could severely harm her soul, rendering her defenseless against Li Su.
Hence, she dared not provoke the Demon Seal further. Li Su suggested, Shall we consider having a child instead? This is a splendid night we shouldnt squander.
The Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon took a deep breath and relented, You win. So, tell , what do you desire?
As her words trailed off, her eyes widened once more. For Li Su
Several minutes later, Li Su fixed her with an intense gaze. In the future, if you address in such a manner, you will face this kind of consequence. Rember these points from now on.
Li Su held her gaze, emphasizing each word, Firstly, subsequently, you are my attendant. Wherever I go, you shall accompany , and in the presence of others, you must refer to as Master.'
Impossible! The Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon instinctively protested. How could she, a Nascent Soul cultivator, beco a servant?
Then lets reconsider having a child, Li Su warned about their previous agreent.
The Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon clenched her lips, nearly drawing blood as her teeth sunk into them. If you remain silent, I will assu youve consented, Li Su said.
Ultimately, the Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon remained silent, and Li Su accepted it before presenting the second condition. Secondly, I can assist you in removing the Demon Seal.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon lit up with hope.
Despite her nurous attempts, removing the Demon Seal had proven to be an incredibly challenging task. She had heard of certain thods, such as a rare poisonous and spiritual pill with a complex refining process, sothing only a handful of skilled alchemists could successfully create. Li Su possessed considerable alchemical skills, raising the possibility of him being able to assist her.
However, it hinders your cooperation. If your performance ets my expectations and pleases , it might be achievable, Li Su remarked casually. Still, the Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon couldnt wholly trust his intentions.
Thirdly, you must completely divulge your secret techniques without any deception. I know you harbor intentions to sche against . Do not attempt any tricks, and as for the secrets of the Demon Palaceyou should reveal everything, Li Su proceeded with his third condition. This condition was his ace in the hole. By making her aware of her predicant and using the Demon Seal as leverage, she increased the chances of her sharing her secret techniques.
In reality, Li Su wanted the Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon to bear his child. She had attained the Nascent Soul stage, and her growth was rapid, possibly with exceptional spiritual roots. Why she had fallen into the demonic path remained unknown to Li Su. Still, having a child with a Nascent Soul cultivator promised excellent spiritual roots.
There were no imdiate prospects for such an endeavor on the Sect Leaders side. Thus, having a Nascent Soul stage Holy Maiden held significant appeal. However, there were constraints imposed by the systems reward conditions. Becoming a witch didnt change that, though so modifications occurred. Unlike ordinary female cultivators who required full willingness, the Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon only needed so degree of willingness for the systems rewards to take effect. If Li Su wanted those rewards, he would have to wait until the systems conditions were t before asking her to bear his child.
Generally, concerning the enhancent of spiritual roots, the better the offsprings spiritual roots, the greater the impact on Li Sus cultivation. A child with fourth-grade spiritual roots equated to the contribution of dozens of offspring with lower-grade spiritual roots. Once it reached seventh-grade spiritual roots, the influence of offspring with inferior roots diminished significantly.
However, even if the spiritual roots were less remarkable, Li Su could compensate with quantity. Nevertheless, he aid to improve quality, as more exceptional spiritual root offspring would benefit the familys future developnt. Once Li Su reached the Nascent Soul stage, he could also take more concubines with excellent spiritual roots. If the Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon continued to resist cooperation, Li Su had alternatives. He could forego the systems rewards and still compel her to bear nurous children as a punishnt.
Li Su wouldnt resort to such asures for any other female cultivator, but dealing with a ruthless witch like her, he had no moral reservations. The Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon bit her lip, her expression torn.
You have one night to contemplate. If you havent decided by early morning, I will have no choice but to ensure you bear my child, Li Su concluded before vanishing from the room, leaving only the Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon behind. In reality, Li Su was in an adjacent room, but she couldnt sense his presence.
The Holy Maiden of the Silent Moons gaze remained fixed on the moon outside the window, her expression in constant flux. Early the next morning, Li Su reappeared in the room, holding a pen, a sheet of paper, and a jade slip crafted from spirit jade.
Write it down. If you find writing cumberso, you can inscribe it onto the jade slip, Li Su instructed. After a sleepless night, the Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon hesitated briefly before finally picking up the pen.
The Holy Maiden of the Silent Moons secret techniques did have certain constraints, but they were not entirely impossible to transcribe. Li Su watched her in silence as she painstakingly worked on the task. After several hours, she finally completed it, writing two thousand characters. However, these characters didnt form coherent sentences when read consecutively.
