C62 The Man Was Dead
Bi'e was a member of the Gong family in the Imperial City. The Gong family was famous for its Yin and Yang people, who were both male and female. They had the appearance of a woman and the physique of a man, while their lower body had both male and female characteristics.
Yin and Yang were originally incompatible with heaven and earth, so there was a lot of controversy about the Gong family's way of changing normal people into Yin and Yang people against heaven's will. Among them, light and dark were the most interwoven, but they gave birth to a strange ability: divination and turning misfortune into fortune.
Qing Bai didn't know much about Bi'e's identity. She was supposed to be a complete woman, but between her eyebrows, there was a three-petal red that only the Yin and Yang of the Gong family had. Furthermore, she was able to break Ting Ao's seal, so there must be something special about her.
Bi'e mysteriously passed away in the inn where Qing Bai and the others stayed, which was something Qing Bai did not expect.
Qing Bai had only seen her for a few hours, but she was tempted by the sound of the chestnuts being sold downstairs. When she came back, she had already calmly left this world.
Has Bi'e seen the person she loves? Has she already removed the seal on Ting Ao? Was she killed by Bai Ling?
Qing Bai did not know anything. The chestnuts he bought were still warm, but the person who was smiling at him just now had gone cold.
Qing Bai thought that the Gong family would take the opportunity to make trouble, but he didn't expect that they would only bring Bi'e back to the Gong family according to the most honorable etiquette.
When Bi'e was taken away, she was in a long line, coming from the opposite corner. From afar, one could only see white and red blurs. The mourners were also arranged in a strict system. The first person placed Bi'e in a transparent bag, and the second person stroked her forehead and muttered to himself for a long time before he looked up and pulled the bag shut.
When the person behind who was reading for Bi'e passed by Qing Bai, he stopped and sized him up, then said: "He is dead, there is no need for young master to be sad."
Qing Bai felt that what he said was wrong. If he had not been careless, how could he have let Bi'e die in his room without anyone knowing? He was Taoist Priest Qing, and even more so, he was half a reincarnation of the Immortal Emperor. Why didn't he even have the qualifications to let someone live a little longer?
Just as he was about to speak, he saw his eyebrows rise. His skin was creamy and his aura was weak.
It was rumored that if one were to look directly at the three bright red petals between the eyebrows of the Yin and Yang people, one would be dragged into a dark abyss. Qing Bai was stunned for a moment and wanted to reach out to pull the corner of his clothes, but Ting Ao grabbed his hand and put it in his arms. He said, "Master, don't touch him. The evil aura on his body is too strong. Your Spiritual Force has not fully recovered yet, so you will be easily injured."
Yin Yang people's ability to turn misfortune into fortune was to absorb that person's evil spirit and convert it into energy for their own cultivation, so there was a clear distinction between Yin Yang people. It was said that high level Yin Yang people even had the power to turn the world around, so they usually carried a heavy evil spirit with them. The three petals between their eyebrows were places to store evil spirits, and it was easy for weak-willed people to fall into the abyss of evil spirits.
Pu Yu must have said something to Ting Ao later on, or else Ting Ao wouldn't have looked at him nervously as soon as he came back.
Ting Ao's seal had clearly not been removed, how could Bi'e...
"Master, Master, are you doing this for this woman? Did you come back for her? Why not me?" What was Ting Ao talking about? Why did he look so angry?
Shouldn't Ting Ao be concerned about the strange death of his new harem? Wasn't I here? Why did it feel like Ting Ao was looking at someone else?
"Master, you can't leave me. You can't leave me for this woman..."
What was Ting Ao talking about? Which woman?
Bi'e, or Bai Ling? Bi'e was already dead, and the only person Qing Bai could suspect now was Bai Ling, even if she was already far from the previous Bai Ling.
The true use of Bai Ling was not as simple as helping Pu Yu recover his Spiritual Force. To Ting Ao, nothing was more important than magic. The fact that he could tolerate Pu Yu and Bai Ling following him and Bai Ling attacking Bi'e was enough to show Bai Ling's status. Perhaps Bai Ling becoming Pu Yu's Spiritual Force puppet was just a smokescreen, but what could he use it to hide?
Qing Bai was in Ting Ao's arms, but his thoughts were wandering in the horizon. The long line of red and white had already disappeared, and he had yet to recover from his shock.
"Master, master," Ting Ao called out to him in a low voice. Seeing that Qing Bai's brows were tightly knitted and he was in a daze, he sighed faintly and said, "How is she Master's woman? Master has only met her twice, why must you always be sad for irrelevant people?"
After the funeral procession left, Qing Bai and the others were invited back by the Gong family to be honored guests. They were treated with the highest courtesy.
Qing Bai had never seen such a scene before. The beauty was bare-chested, her posture was frivolous, and she was also good-looking, which made Qing Bai feel that it was a pity not to look at her. He did not dare to raise his head a few times, but the wine pot in front of his seat was empty.
"Master," Ting Ao said, holding the wine cup so that he wouldn't drink anymore. "Master, can I get someone to take you back to your room? This place is really boring."
Qing Bai thought angrily, why is Ting Ao always so stubborn? Isn't it fun to watch beautiful women dance? He clearly wants to send me away!
But the person who was sent to send Qing Bai off also had a three-petal red mark on his forehead. Qing Bai tiptoed and obediently followed that person.
Only after Qing Bai left did the banquet truly begin. The beautiful music stopped abruptly, and the beauties in revealing clothes all retreated. What came up was a group of hermaphrodites with veils covering their faces.
"Demon God, these are all the best raised by the Gong family. If you like anyone, just tell me."
The Palace Master's words were filled with ridicule. Ting Ao magnanimously swept his gaze across the group of people below the stage. His gaze turned around, but he frowned: "Today, I gave it to Bi'e, why aren't you here?"
The Palace Master's smile froze, and he said hesitantly: "This... His Spiritual Force can't be used by Demon God, there are better..."
"I want him. I want a jar of his pure blood, and I want him to never be able to speak." Ting Ao looked at the Palace Master. "The Palace Master needs to teach them well. People who talk too much usually don't live long."
The Palace Master repeatedly agreed and said that he would deliver it as soon as possible. Then, he turned his gaze to Pu Yu: "This one can also..."
Pu Yu's face was filled with disdain: "Why would I want such a thing?! Do you think you can make up for yesterday's mistake by doing this? If it wasn't for your lack of supervision, how could Bi'e have escaped to find that fool?" He muttered in a low voice," Don't you know that I am also a Demon God? "
On the other side, Qing Bai followed the attendant back to his room. He didn't know what wine Gong's had prepared, but it tasted sweet and after tasting it again, it was intoxicating. He swayed, and soon, he was further and further away from the man.
He wanted to hurry up, but he was suddenly bumped into by someone who suddenly rushed out. Qing Bai took a closer look and saw that it was an old friend.
"The sea? Why are you here?"
