The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 441 Marriage Contract, Rival in Love [Part 7]

6. Chance Encounter with a Simp

However, there are so many candidates for the Holy Maiden position that if one does not take on missions and demonstrate one's value, one can only be considered to have barely escaped the bottom tier of evil spirit masters.

Furthermore, once a new Holy Maiden is chosen, all the other candidates will lose their power and become her servants, subject to her whims and cruelty.

Therefore, Leng Ningshuang's status as a candidate for Saintess was inferior to that of the Fire Evil Path people, but she was the only candidate for Saintess who was favored by the Red Lotus Cult Leader!
Huo Xie Dao Ren, who later led the evil spirit masters to infiltrate the Yuqing Sect, was also known as Long Yuzhong.

"Shuangshuang, it really is you!"

In a passageway at the Red Lotus Demonic Sect headquarters, Demon Master Xingzhai encountered Leng Ningshuang, who was on her way after being summoned to receive her seal of office. He immediately blocked her path, astonished by her extraordinary beauty.

"you know me?"

Leng Ning Shuang was frowning in thought when she glanced up and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she lost interest in talking to her.

Xingzhai Mozi was seen with two alluring but ordinary women on his left and right, his eyes shining as he stared at them, looking every bit the lecherous rogue!

Seeing this scene clearly with his divine sense, Feng Ling was furious: "Shuangshuang, do you even deserve to call me that? You simp, you're destined to end up with nothing!"
"Xingzhai Demon Prince, please show some respect! This young lady is a candidate for Holy Maiden personally selected by the Sect Leader! At this moment, I am about to lead her to the Jade Purity Sect for seclusion and training. I hope you will not delay our journey!"

As Leng Ning Shuang's temporary partner, Huo Xie Dao Ren quickly stepped in to stop Xing Zhai Mo Zi's rudeness. Furthermore, the two of them thus formed a connection.

Xing Zhai shoved aside the two evil spirit women beside him, pulled the Fire Demon Daoist aside, and said in a deep voice with a smile: "Very good, this Demon Prince is about to break through to the Mortal Saint realm and urgently needs a Divine Stone. The Jade Purity Sect happens to have one, so you must keep a close eye on it! Moreover, I, Xing Zhai, have taken a liking to this candidate for Saintess. You must take good care of her. I will soon ask the Ancestor to grant me a marriage, and let's see who dares to compete with me!"

Upon hearing this, the Fire Demon Daoist nodded repeatedly, exchanged a smile with Xingzhai Demon Prince, and then the two exchanged some more pleasantries before calling it a day.

The Red Lotus Cult's motto is: If you want something, just take it yourself, including the Holy Maiden! However, the Red Lotus Ancestor's words are law, ruling on everything within the cult.

The Red Lotus Demonic Sect has four demonic disciples, but Xing Zhai is the most favored by the Red Lotus Ancestor.

Therefore, when Xing Zhai went to the Red Lotus Ancestor on the grounds that he had fallen in love with a candidate saintess at first sight, the Red Lotus Ancestor granted him a marriage contract without saying a word, which infuriated the Red Lotus Sect Leader.

In the eyes of the Red Lotus Ancestor, the Red Lotus Sect Leader was too petty. She was just a candidate for Holy Maiden. Was the dignified Demon Prince not good enough for her?
It is worth mentioning that the Red Lotus Ancestor commands the Demon Princes, and the Red Lotus Sect Leader commands the Holy Maidens. Both of them are at the demigod level and occasionally have conflicts.

As for Leng Ningshuang, after learning about the engagement, before Huo Xie Daoren could make any arrangements, she took matters into her own hands and joined the Yuqing Sect.

For the next three years, she was either immersed in arduous seclusion in the Ghost-Locking Tower or engaged in selfless battles in the Mortal Burial Ground, completely forgetting about her partner. Huo Xie knew very well that she had transformed the invisible pressure brought by the engagement into motivation for cultivation!
After all, there's only one way for her to break free from the engagement: to continuously improve her strength!
Once one possesses sufficient strength and becomes one of the four quasi-saintesses, they can be re-evaluated by the Crimson Lotus Cult Leader and gain prominent power and status.

Thus, the prospective saintess is qualified to request the Red Lotus Cult Leader to persuade the Red Lotus Ancestor to hold a martial arts contest to annul the engagement, in accordance with existing customs.

It was obviously impossible for the Red Lotus Ancestor to directly retract his order, but if the decision on whether to break off the engagement and annul the marriage was made based on the outcome of the duel between the Demon Prince and the Quasi-Saintess, he would definitely take the opportunity to back down.

……

Furthermore, Leng Ningshuang was often in a bad mood after the battle at the Senluo Mass Graveyard.

However, Xing Zhai, that simp, had been secretly pursuing her relentlessly, always looking for an opportunity to play the hero and rescue her, so he could launch a crazy pursuit.

Unfortunately, whenever it comes to such a critical moment of saving a beauty, the divine power sealed within Feng Ling's body by the seven Miao Gao Mountains seems to be squeezed and stimulated, and it will continuously burst forth to protect Leng Ning Shuang.

They didn't give the sycophants a chance to show off at all!

However, to be fair, Xingzhai Demon Prince did secretly provide Leng Ning Shuang with a lot of help, such as ice-cold attribute techniques and treasures, which could suppress and weaken the control of the Heavenly Silkworm Mind Control Gu.

Therefore, Leng Ning Shuang later specialized in the Ice and Snow Flowing Light Technique and, by chance, obtained the ice-attribute treasure—the Water Dragon Ice Jade—which recognized her as its master.

The Ice and Snow Flowing Light Technique was secretly bestowed upon her by the Red Lotus Sect Leader, who told her to just focus on cultivating it and not to ask any questions, as she would naturally find out when the time was right.

This unusual behavior clearly shows that the leader of the Red Lotus Cult must also know something about her background and origins, but the other party is keeping it a secret.

Of course, Xing Zhai Mo Zi was able to call Leng Ning Shuang by name so easily, which might mean he knew some inside information. However, Leng Ning Shuang was annoyed by him and therefore did not want to try to find out anything from him.

It was enough for her to deduce that her former name was also Leng Ning Shuang, and that the Red Lotus Demonic Sect was indeed related to her past life!
Every time a creature hatches, it's a new beginning...

The world is full of chaos and troubles; may the sages and saints offer you a pure land for your souls.
