C7 A Single Color of Clear Water and Light Clouds

Qin Yubing didn't expect Qu Lingjing to do such a thing. His eyes widened in surprise, and his mind went blank. He gritted his teeth and allowed the pill to enter his mouth.

Until Qu Lingjing's mouth had left his mouth, Qin Yubing was still in a state of confusion.

"Shameless!" Qin Yubing finally regained his senses.

"If you don't listen to me, then I have plenty of ways to deal with you. There are even more shameless ways to deal with you. I advise you to be obedient so that you won't suffer."

After saying that, Qu Lingjing turned around and left without hesitation, silently praying for the system's notification.

". Current points: 1050.] Current Points: 1050. Congratulations, Devil Lord, your character attribute completeness has reached the standard. From now on, the system will not restrict you. I wish you a happy journey and a happy ending as soon as possible."

This was the most beautiful system sound Qu Lingjing had ever heard since he started reading. Qu Lingjing could not help but feel overjoyed as he covered his face with his hands. He wanted his subordinates to see his mental state.

In the morning, a plain carriage drove away from the Palace of Darkness under the gaze of a group of people. Yujin's gaze did not leave the carriage until he could not see it at all. Yun Zhao whipped his horse and drove the carriage, while Ye Ya'er rode beside the carriage. There were three people in the carriage-the angry Qin Yubing, the lazy Xue Jingyin, and Qu Lingjing, who was sitting in the middle.

The carriage continued on for four hours. After passing through the Demonic Fog Forest, the place with the deepest demonic barriers in the Devil Realm, and through the thorny swamp that was filled with poisonous plants, they finally arrived at the border between the Devil Clan and the Mortal Realm.

Qin Yubing's face was pale as he leaned against the wall of the car.

"Nianzhi, are you alright?" Qu Lingjing asked Xue Jingyin worriedly.

"What could possibly happen? You must have fed him some kind of antidote. Otherwise, his expression wouldn't be like this."

Qu Lingjing saw that Xue Jingyin was busy wrapping her clothes. He reached out to touch her hand. When he reached out, it was as cold as ice. He simply wrapped his hand around his own.

"Is Nianzhi particularly afraid of the cold? The house always has a fire."

Xue Jingyin was shocked by Qu Lingjing's actions. He wanted to take his hand back, but Qu Lingjing's hand was soft and warm, so comfortable that it made him want to stay. He instinctively gave up struggling.

"The people of the Sang Zi Clan have lived in relatively warm areas for a long time, so naturally, they are not as cold-resistant as you Nether Realm barbarians who have been used to the cold for a long time."

"The Sang Zi Realm is indeed a good place. If Nianzhi is really not used to staying in the Nether Realm, I will allow you to return to the Sang Zi Realm when you come back this time. By the way... I will return all the things you asked for."

"If you want to say that, Nianzhi will take it seriously."

"Of course you can take it seriously. When the time comes, I'll give you a handwritten edict. You can go wherever you want."

Xue Jingyin was about to express his gratitude when he heard Yun Zhao shout and stop the carriage outside. Qu Lingjing lifted the curtains and looked out. They had already arrived at the boundary of Twin Jade City in the Mortal Realm.

People walked in and out of Twin Jade City. The streets were bustling with activity, shops of all kinds were orderly, and there were many different kinds of shops. There were also a wide variety of goods and trades. The buildings on both sides were ancient, and there were rows upon rows of them. Just like what Qu Lingjing had seen on TV, it felt more like he had traveled through time than when he was in the Devil Realm.

Qu Lingjing chose a relatively clean-looking inn and settled the group down.

Tomorrow was the day of the Immortal Sect's Gathering of Heroes. After dinner, Qu Lingjing went to Qin Yubing's room to say goodbye and let him go.

Qin Yubing knew that Qu Lingjing had come in, so he deliberately lay on the bed with his back to him.

"Yubing, go back to your sect."

Qin Yubing turned around. "Are you really going to let me go?"

"Yes, you didn't eat any poison."

"I know. I heard what you said to Xue Jingyin just now."

"That's even better. We are a devil and a disciple of the Immortals. It might not be a good thing to meet again. Let's... part ways here." Qu Lingjing turned around and grabbed a bag from the table. She placed it in Qin Yubing's hands. It belonged to Qin Yubing.

When Qin Yubing saw the wound on the back of Qu Lingjing's hand, he murmured, "Does it still hurt?"

Qu Lingjing laughed: "It doesn't hurt, it's almost done."

Through the dark mask, Qin Yubing could see the traces of Lin Qing on Qu Lingjing's face.

"Before I leave, can you let me see your true appearance? I'll recognize you when I see you again in the future."

Qu Lingjing didn't refuse. Qin Yubing's hand slowly reached for the mask, lifting the layer that separated the two of them.

The moment the mask was removed, Qin Yubing was still in shock. Qu Lingjing did not lie to him. It was indeed Lin Qing's face, but it was even more dazzling than Lin Qing's. It devoured souls and made people unable to move their eyes away. It was as if looking at it would make one feel as if they had fallen into a bottomless abyss and would never be able to climb out.

"So that's what you look like." Qin Yubing didn't even know what he had said.

Qu Lingjing raised the corner of his lips, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"In the future, if I fall into the hands of Immortals, you can show mercy."

Qin Yubing suddenly thought of something, and his face flushed red.

"You're not that ugly yourself, so why did you capture so many beauties to add to your harem?" Qin Yubing finally looked away, trying his best to divert his attention.

Naturally, Qu Lingjing could not answer this question either. He only vaguely said, "I used to like to mess around, but in the future, I want to break up my harem and live a quiet life."

"This really doesn't sound like something a Devil Lord would say. Do you want to live like me, Martial Uncle?"

"Martial Uncle? Are you talking about Yunyin, the Immortal Sage?"

"His lifelong wish was to focus on cultivation and not care about the world. He even changed the name of the mountain he was on to Inaction Peak. Inaction is doing nothing. Unfortunately..."

"It's not up to him, is it?" Having read the entire book, how could Qu Lingjing not understand the personality of the male lead? What he wanted was never fame or fame, nor was it beauty.

"Rest early. Tomorrow, you will return to your Cloud Peak and live your original life, becoming the pride of your sect as soon as possible."

When Qu Lingjing returned to his room, Yun Zhao was already waiting for him as if he had an urgent matter to report.

"Master, according to your instructions, I have already informed Xin Nu. She has already arrived and is waiting for you under the tree in the backyard."

Qu Lingjing nodded and quickly walked towards the backyard.

This was the first time Qu Lingjing had met the female lead of this book. The female lead's appearance was a little more ordinary than Qu Lingjing had imagined. Perhaps it was because she was wearing night clothes, but she looked more like an assassin in the dark. The sharpness of her eyes meant that she was not an ordinary woman. As soon as she saw Qu Lingjing, she habitually knelt down on one knee, which was even heavier than the four protectors.

"Give me your hand." Qu Lingjing ordered.

Xin Lianyue did not understand what was going on and obediently reached out her hand. She was a little nervous in her heart, not knowing if it was a reward or a punishment. A small seed fell into Xin Lianyue's palm. If she didn't look carefully, she wouldn't have noticed this little thing.

"Tomorrow, when you go on stage, throw this seed on the stage. At that time, I will naturally help you."

Xin Lianyue was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. She promised that she would not let down Devil Lord's expectations and so on.

"My expectations for you are far more than this Gathering of Heroes. Remember to practice hard every day until one day you no longer need my help."

"Lianyue will definitely remember Master's words in her heart."

"Yes, if someone comes to find you with my token in the future, it will mean that he is following my orders. Listen to his orders."

"Yes, Master."

On the second day after he arrived in the Mortal Realm, Qu Lingjing finally waited for the Immortal Sect's Grand Meeting to unveil its mysterious veil. The main venue of the Immortal Sect's Gathering of Heroes was located on a huge plaza at the foot of Profound Sect. The terrain was surrounded by mountains, and the huge arena was raised up high, half a body higher than the level, and even higher than the arena was the platform for Immortals with status and status to sit on. According to the four great sects, it was divided into four VIP areas. Most of the sect leaders had taken their seats, but a few were still empty.

At this time, the crowd below the arena had already surrounded the venue so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak out. As expected of the annual grand event of the Immortal Sect, it was bustling with noise and excitement. It was a lively scene.

Qu Lingjing had asked Xue Jingyin to put on some makeup early in the morning. Wearing a light green shirt, he went to the arena and took a good position with his friends to support the female lead.

Qu Lingjing's gaze swept across the VIP area of the four major sects. In the background of the Misty Sword Sect, there was a woman in white with a veil over her face. Her figure was graceful, and her temperament was extraordinary. The eyes that were exposed outside were a pair of beautiful eyes. She expressionlessly looked down at the bustling crowd below the stage.

Qu Lingjing thought of all the gorgeous descriptions in the book. Lau Piaoxu, the beauty ranked second on the Unparalleled List, should be this one, but unfortunately, there weren't many scenes. He had even ridiculed the author for her in the comments section. Since the male lead didn't want her, it would be a good idea to take her.

Qu Lingjing swept his gaze to the side and saw a familiar figure. As soon as Qin Yubing appeared in the venue, he slowly walked towards the high seats of the Profound Sect. There was a small commotion among the young girls below the stage, and their gazes were focused on Qin Yubing's moving figure. It seemed that Qin Yubing also had a fan club.

Qin Yubing walked to the side of a black-bearded old man and bowed. The senior brothers around him surrounded him and asked him questions, and Qin Yubing couldn't help but explain himself. Finally, he stood behind the old man. His gaze inadvertently swept towards Qu Lingjing. Qu Lingjing didn't avoid him. Instead, she smiled at him, causing Qin Yubing's face to flush red again. He quickly looked away.

Profound Sect had seven peaks and seven chairs, and only the Peak Masters were qualified to sit. Their disciples were all standing and watching, so each Peak Master had a large group of disciples behind him. Only the last chair was empty, and no one was standing.

Just as Qu Lingjing thought that the indifferent male lead might not appear here, a series of screams suddenly erupted from below the stage. It was as if they had completely lost control of themselves. Qu Lingjing followed the gazes of the girls who had suddenly become excited and looked over. A wisp of green water had unknowingly landed on the viewing platform from an unknown place, and it just so happened to be sitting on the empty chair of the Profound Sect. It was as if a light cloud had landed on a high place, silently stealing everyone's attention.
