Chapter 5

Cauldron -1.

I activated the teleportation formation.

When I passed over Boundless Cliff, my legs instinctively went weak.

Boundless Cliff was a thousand meters high, and the cliff bottom was shrouded in miasma all year round. No one ever went there.

No one knew that it was Yin Shanyu’s territory.

In the past, whenever I passed by, eleven out of ten times, Yin Shanyu would intercept me.

He would hook me down to the bottom of the cliff to fool around.

In the stone pavilion, by the stream, even on the lone branch jutting out from the cliffside.

No matter how I trembled and begged,

he would not stop.

The fear was real.

But so was the pleasure.

Moreover, Yin Shanyu’s mastery of mental cultivation methods was extremely high.

If not for his guidance, I would not have grown a spiritual root so quickly.

So as for his insistence on holding my hand and making me slap him,

I could endure it.

Before my eyes, the scenery at the cliff bottom flashed past,

gradually receding until it became an invisible little black dot.

Only then did I realize that for the first time, Yin Shanyu had not appeared.

“Isn’t His Lordship going to the Sword Sect today to propose marriage to Madam?”

The guard at the cliff bottom recognized me and smiled. “Why has Madam come back alone?”

Propose marriage?

For me?

I froze.

Then I remembered a rumor from the streets.

The year Yin Shanyu betrayed the Sword Sect, he seriously injured Wei Xun.

Yet he himself had not escaped unscathed.

He had been surrounded and attacked by the sect leader and several elders,

but for some unknown reason, he managed to flee.

Some said the Sect Leader’s Daughter, Song Zhiyin, was close to Yin Shanyu.

It was because she knelt and begged for mercy that Yin Shanyu’s life was spared.

I had never asked Yin Shanyu whether that rumor was true.

If I did not ask, he naturally would not say.

But this time, who exactly had he gone to the Sword Sect to propose to?

It was obvious.

I waved my hand, signaling for the guard not to open the formation gate.

“No need to go in. I’m leaving.”

In the future, I probably would not come again either.

I had enjoyed what there was to enjoy.

I had my spiritual root too.

And I had never liked the whole slapping routine in the first place.

Wasn’t it wonderful to painlessly get rid of that little lunatic Yin Shanyu?

Thinking of this, I cheerfully tossed down a red envelope.

“Wedding money. Give it to your lord.”

“Ah, Madam.”

The guard was bewildered. “What custom is it to give yourself wedding money?”

I only smiled. “Don’t worry about it.”

“Just hand it to Yin Shanyu.”

Cauldron -1.

I propped up my chin and pondered.

Now that I had a spiritual root, I no longer had to worry about failing to retain spiritual energy.

Why not simply cut off all my cauldrons?

To be honest, looking back on those days, they had been rather hard.

Wei Xun made me angry at every turn.

Xuan Ci did not make me angry, but he always looked at me as if he were looking at someone else, and sometimes I felt wronged.

As for Yin Shanyu, there was even less to say.

He never behaved properly in bed, and every time he frightened my heart into trembling.

Thinking carefully, not one of them was any good.

Now things were different.

I had a spiritual root.

In the future, I must cultivate properly.

I would never again walk this crooked path.
