She became a god

Located in the north, Snow City is especially cold at night, with occasional strong winds that send shivers down one's spine.

Ye Qingzhou adjusted his cloak, intending to leave with a lantern, but was blocked in his way.

"Seventh Miss, you have such refined tastes, admiring lotus flowers so late at night. I have an estate where hot spring water is channeled into a pond, and the golden water lilies I cultivate are in full bloom. Would you like to go and take a look?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Second Young Master. However, the Eldest Young Master's condition has been fluctuating, and as a guest, it is really inconvenient for me to do those elegant things with you."

This is a veiled criticism of Xue Suimu for disrespecting his elder brother.

"Is Zhao Man really your name?"

Ye Qingzhou's almond-shaped eyes widened even more. She never expected that Xue Suimu, who seemed cautious, would so casually express her doubts.

Is he really that confident?

"I'm not Zhao Man, so who are you?"

After saying that, Ye Qingzhou turned to leave, but Xue Suimu pulled off her cloak.

The cold wind made the girl's clothes flutter, and Xue Suimu held up her cloak and mocked her.

"I've never seen a fire elemental cultivator who needs to wear a cloak when traveling."

"Snow City is bitterly cold. When the Second Young Master saw the clothes, he thought they were for the weather. Little did he know that in Qingcheng, clothes are for the people."

Ye Qingzhou suddenly moved closer to Xue Suimu, "Can you see clearly?"

The night was thick, but the cultivators were unaffected.

As the snow fell, one could clearly see the girl's slender waist, full breasts, delicate neck, and peach-blossom-like face.

At such close range, he could almost faintly smell the fragrance of flowers.

Xue Suimu's eyes grew increasingly dark.

A sharp crack shattered the quiet, ambiguous atmosphere.

His handsome face quickly swelled up, demonstrating the girl's immense strength and ruthlessness.

The lotus flowers swayed gracefully in the wind, and the moonlight poured down, leaving Xue Suimu alone, covering his face, thinking about the harsh words the girl had uttered.

"You scoundrel, I'll have someone beat you to death when I get back to Qingcheng!"

After a long silence, he chuckled softly, "Are you Ye Qingzhou or Wen Xichun?"

"It's okay, you can't keep up this act."

Lin Jingchuan chatted and laughed with his elder sister for a while before returning to his residence.

Halfway there, someone covered his mouth and took him to the back of the artificial hill.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed him. "Fellow Daoist Chun... Wen, why have you appeared at this time? According to the plan, we were supposed to wait for..."

"I asked Sister Chun to bring you here."

"Zhou-mei? Didn't you say we shouldn't contact each other?"

"That's not necessary."

"Huh?" Lin Jingchuan scratched his head. "You're not going to give up, are you?"

"No." Ye Qingzhou shook his head, then smiled and said, "I apologize for the inconvenience."

Wen Xichun slashed at his body with her sword, passing through countless acupoints, causing Lin Jingchuan to feel dizzy and nauseous. He then vomited up a worm.

The insect was plump and white, and it writhed on the ground for a long time before it lost its breath and turned into a pool of turbid liquid.

Lin Jingchuan felt a chill run down his spine at the sight, and began vomiting repeatedly until nothing came out. He wiped his mouth and asked, "What the hell is this?"

"The Silkworm of Light. Where light reaches, darkness has nowhere to hide. A person possessed by the Silkworm of Light is under constant surveillance, even through spiritual communication."

"This is terrifying. But why didn't I notice anything?"

"Because the Radiant Silkworm will not do anything to harm the host; on the contrary, it will enhance the host's cultivation and nourish the host's soul."

Ye Qingzhou looked at Lin Jingchuan and asked, "Have you ever had any contact with Xue Suimu?"

"On my first night here, he bumped into me outside Xuehong's study... Could it be that this kid put it there?"

Wen Xichun nodded, "Your acting is terrible."

"However, Xue Suimu is indeed a rare and intelligent person," Ye Qingzhou couldn't help but praise.

"If we just met, wouldn't he find out again?"

Wen Xichun glanced at Lin Jingchuan and said, "Seal it off."

Ye Qingzhou added, "When Sister Chun appeared in front of you, she sealed the Radiant Silkworm."

"With such a clever person in the Xue family, wouldn't my sister's matter be difficult?"

Ye Qingzhou laughed and said, "It's good to be a smart person. Smart people are cunning, and they can keep things from you even if they know them."

“He doesn’t seem like a kind person; I’m afraid he’ll ask us for something.”

Having experienced so much, Lin Jingchuan has also grown and can now understand some of the complexities of human nature.

"What he's asking for is nothing more than the Xue family's; what does it have to do with us?"

Considering the relationship between the Xue family father and son, Lin Jingchuan felt that Ye Qingzhou's words made sense.

"But what does your second sister think?"

"She naturally did not want to rekindle their past relationship."

Lin Jingchuan answered decisively.

Ye Qingzhou was not satisfied. "Couples who can drink the potion of forgetfulness must have loved each other passionately and hated each other to the point of heartbreak before."

"My words inside were meant to incite hatred between them, making things easier for future arrangements. But..."

Ye Qingzhou changed the subject, "Love and affection are inherently complex, and it is common for love and hate to be intertwined."

Do you think two people who once loved each other deeply can never fall in love again?

Lin Jingchuan was silent for a moment, then said, "If he really still loves my sister, why would he be so fond of you, Zhao Man, whom you are impersonating?"

Hearing this, Ye Qingzhou chuckled awkwardly, "Ahem... Actually... although I am indeed universally loved, flowers bloom for me, and cars get flat tires just by looking at me, I... am not entirely confident that I can make Xue Suihan fall for me. So..."

"So I used a little trick. In short, Xue Suihan's current goodwill towards me is not of his own volition."

"So, Xue Suihan isn't as bad as I thought!" Lin Jingchuan said with a hint of worry. "My second sister probably doesn't like him at all, right?"

"Why don't you ask again?"

Ye Qingzhou wasn't feeling guilty for breaking up someone else's marriage; she just didn't want a situation where, after the divorce, Lin Erjie would regret it and refuse to leave.

Ye Qingzhou disliked the feeling of having his efforts come to nothing.

Therefore, all changes must be nipped in the bud.

Lin Jingchuan was also a little worried that if they meant well but did something wrong, it would cause his second sister to regret it for the rest of her life, which would be terrible.

No one can guarantee that this couple, who once drank the potion of forgetfulness, will no longer yearn for each other.

The three of them finally decided that Lin Jingchuan should talk to Lin Jingxi again to find out her true thoughts before they would proceed to the next step.

As for the snow at the end of the year, we will meet force with force and water with earth.

Since Xue did not report it at the end of the year, it is not a cause for concern.

Having desires is always easier to manage than having no desires at all.

After sending Lin Jingchuan back, Wen Xichun returned to the artificial hill and handed Ye Qingzhou a broken sword.

It looks like a fragment of the Cheng Ying Sword.

Wasn't the Cheng Ying Sword, along with the Wen Tian Sword scabbard and other fragments of famous swords, melted together to form the Yin-Yang Sword?

"The remaining fragments."

Wenxi Chunhua was never one to talk much, which Ye Qingzhou was used to.

"I don't know swordsmanship, what use would I be to you?"

"Summon me."

"You want to protect me?" Ye Qingzhou raised an eyebrow. "But I'm safe for now."

"The way Xue Suimu looks at you is disgusting." He deserves to die.

Ye Qingzhou understood the unspoken meaning. She smiled slightly and said sarcastically, "In the cultivation world, strength should be the most important thing. There are two genders in the world, male and female. Women can give birth to life—this is a right that only gods can possess. Logically speaking, women should be respected in the six realms. But only the demon realm is like this. In the human realm, many countries even promote male superiority and female inferiority."

"There are many mortals, and many of them go to the underworld after death. They also take some bad habits with them to the underworld, corrupting its atmosphere."

"The Buddhist community is predominantly male, with very few female followers. However, on the surface, it promotes the equality of all beings and the idea that Buddhism has no gender distinction."

"The Demon Realm and the Heavenly Realm are both masters of maintaining a fair balance in this regard."

After hearing this, Wen Xichun felt as if a thin layer of fog had been lifted from the mystery in her heart.

Before she could think it through, Ye Qingzhou spoke.

"To digress, in the human world, men have always been superior to women, to the point that many men regard women as their possessions. When the Xue family takes in a daughter or marries off a son, the daughter-in-law is usually buried with her husband after his death. With such a social atmosphere and such family rules, no matter how gentlemanly Xue Suimu may appear on the outside, he is nothing more than a pervert on the inside."

"I'm here."

Sensing the concern in Wen Xichun's words, Ye Qingzhou smiled and said, "Okay, but I'm not afraid of him."

"I love dealing with perverts the most!"
