Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

When Mo Xiaolan was five years old, her small village was hit by a beast tide.

Her parents and the other villagers were all killed by demonic beasts, and young as she was, she was about to meet the same fate.

A beautiful fairy sister suddenly appeared, killed all the demonic beasts, and saved her life.

At that time, Mo Xiaolan wanted to become her disciple, but the fairy sister said to her:

"What I seek is extremely dangerous, and the place where I belong is not accepted by the world, which may not be good for you."

Eventually, the fairy sister did not take her away and soon vanished gracefully.

But Mo Xiaolan always remembered the appearance of the fairy sister.

Although not as stunningly beautiful as the Three Great Immortals of the time, her temperament was incredibly cold and valiant, unmatched by others.

Later, Mo Xiaolan would intentionally or unintentionally imitate the fairy sister’s valiant demeanor.

Even though more than ten years have passed, the image of the fairy sister remains vividly clear in Mo Xiaolan’s mind.

Just like the residual soul bursting out from Qin Gengyun’s chest at this moment!

Earlier, when encountering the residual soul of Nalan Yan at Cyan Lotus Mountain, the soul was about to disperse and its face was blurred and indistinguishable.

But now, nourished within Qin Gengyun, Nalan Yan’s residual soul had condensed significantly, surged out furiously, appearing extremely clear, almost indistinguishable from a living person.

Thus, Mo Xiaolan recognized it at a glance.

Seeing Mo Xiaolan, the residual soul of Nalan Yan seemed to be startled, and the sharp howl even grew gentle:

"Nantian... Hongxue... Rufan... good, good."

A voice with indistinct meanings, as if a few names; Qin Gengyun was astonished:

"Mo Nantian, Chun Hongxue? The Four Great Elders of the Cyan Lotus Sect five hundred years ago? Then this... Rufan, who could he be?"

"He’s my father." Mo Xiaolan looked at Nalan Yan’s residual soul, tears flowing from her eyes.

"My father’s name is Mo Rufan."

Qin Gengyun and Xia Qinglian looked at her in amazement, Xia Qinglian asked:

"Xiaolan, do you know my master?"

Mo Xiaolan stared deeply at the once again chaotic residual soul, her eyes full of sorrow:

"The fairy sister who saved me during the beast tide back then, it was her."

Qin Gengyun was taken aback, Xia Qinglian was even more shocked: "The fairy sister you’ve always mentioned is my master? How could that be! Your childhood village was in the Eastern Cultivation Land, and during the beast tide, my master was at Cyan Lotus Mountain!"

Qin Gengyun quickly said to Mo Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, perhaps you’ve made a mistake? You’ve always called her fairy sister, but Elder Nalan isn’t that young."

Mo Xiaolan firmly replied: "I wouldn’t be mistaken, Elder Nalan may have aged since those days, but her eyebrows and demeanor, there’s no second person in the world like her!"

"Elder Nalan is indeed the fairy sister who saved me back then!"

Mo Xiaolan approached the residual soul of Nalan Yan, wanting to reach out to touch, but felt it would be disrespectful, ultimately falling to her knees with tears streaming down:

"Fairy sister, rest assured, I will obtain the Soul Supplement Seal for you, no matter what it takes, I will revive you!"

The residual soul of Nalan Yan noticed Mo Xiaolan’s action, seemed to comprehend her words, and quivered a few times, as if nodding.

Then the residual soul hovered in the air for a moment, before reentering Qin Gengyun’s chest, calming down once more.

Qin Gengyun heaved a slight sigh of relief, exchanging looks with Xia Qinglian, both feeling a sense of absurdity.

Especially Xia Qinglian, as she recalled being quite young during the beast tide; her master had taken her to the village near Cyan Lotus Mountain to slay demonic beasts as a trial.

Her master and senior sister had always guarded her closely, never leaving her side.

How could her master have gone to the distant Eastern Cultivation Land, especially to that unknown small village, to save Mo Xiaolan?

Was this a coincidence?

Qin Gengyun knew what Xia Qinglian was thinking, he softly said: "Dear, the beast tides in the Four Domains happen at different times, I remember during the last tide, the Eastern Cultivation Land occurred before the South Demon."

"Elder Nalan probably went to the Eastern Cultivation Land first, saved Xiaolan, and then hurried back."

Xia Qinglian nodded, yet remained puzzled: "But if Master specially went to save Xiaolan, why didn’t she bring her back to Cyan Lotus Mountain?"

Qin Gengyun reflected on what Mo Xiaolan said that Nalan Yan had told her.

"Could it be Elder Nalan had foreseen her own fate and didn’t want Mo Xiaolan to follow her into misfortune?"

"Elder Nalan mentioned Xiaolan’s father’s name earlier, maybe she knew Xiaolan’s father and, considering Xiaolan’s family were ordinary people, she didn’t want her drawn into the conflict between good and evil?"

Qin Gengyun’s analysis was plausible to Xia Qinglian, she considered for a moment, then suddenly asked Mo Xiaolan:

"Xiaolan, is your father really an ordinary person?"

Mo Xiaolan stood up from the ground, nodded assuredly: "My father had no cultivation; otherwise, he wouldn’t have died in the mouth of demonic beasts."

Qin Gengyun agreed: "If Xiaolan’s father were a cultivator, it wouldn’t make sense not to teach Xiaolan cultivation."

Xia Qinglian pondered deeply: "My master traveled a great distance to save her, yet hid Xiaolan in a remote village, refusing to take her as a disciple. Such concealment and protection, is it possible..."

She looked at Mo Xiaolan: "Is Xiaolan truly Sheng Tanglian’s daughter?"

Qin Gengyun was stunned, but upon reconsideration, his wife’s speculation wasn’t baseless.

After Sheng Tanglian’s death, her newborn might have been rescued by the Cyan Lotus Sect, and later, when the sect was expelled from the Eastern Cultivation Land, they might’ve hidden her identity, placing her in an unrelated village for raising.

Given Sheng Tanglian’s wrongful death, the sect wouldn’t want her daughter to follow the same path, preferring she live an ordinary, peaceful life.

This understanding seemed reasonable.

"But there’s one more question, that child was born five hundred years ago, why is Xiaolan still so young now?"

Qin Gengyun was puzzled, Xia Qinglian stepped forward, reaching to check Mo Xiaolan’s wrist.

"Sister, you..."

Mo Xiaolan was slightly awkward; Xia Qinglian then remembered she was still in the form of the Red Flame Fox!

Her cheeks turned beet red, and with a soft exclamation, she hurriedly reverted to human form, swiftly stashing the Red Flame Fox fur into her storage bag.

Mo Xiaolan stared blankly at her, then at Qin Gengyun, her face also turning red.

Evidently, she had guessed what the couple had been doing earlier.

Xia Qinglian’s face was red enough to drop blood, but she forced herself to maintain a calm demeanor, her voice composed:

"Sheng Tanglian died in the Cyan Lotus Sect relics, her child was born there as well, I encountered a residual soul resembling Zhenyang there..."

"Husband, once the Qinlian Sect is established, I want to go to the Cyan Lotus Sect relics again."

Qin Gengyun nodded: "I’ll accompany you."

Mo Xiaolan immediately said: "I’ll go too."

Both looked at her, Mo Xiaolan’s gaze was firm: "I carry Elder Sheng Tanglian’s remains within me, my life was saved by Elder Nalan, I am responsible to uncover the truth."

"Alright." Xia Qinglian smiled: "Then the three of us will go together."

Suddenly, a golden light erupted from Qin Gengyun’s body, he clenched his fists, and promptly sat cross-legged.

"He’s breaking through!"

Mo Xiaolan softly exclaimed, Xia Qinglian pulled her out of the room, drew several arrays with her hand to shield the house.

"It’s probably the power from my master’s residual soul that helped him, enabling the breakthrough. Xiaolan, go rest, I’ll guard for him here."

Mo Xiaolan shook her head: "I’ll also guard him."

Xia Qinglian glanced at her, nodded: "Okay."

The two women sat down, remaining silent for a while.

After a long while, Xia Qinglian suddenly spoke:

"Xiaolan, back in Yunling Town, before he knew me, you had already given yourself to him, right?"
