All Heavens: Yin Zhiping, a Demon with a Daoist Heart!

Yin Zhiping was enjoying himself.

The streets were bustling with people, and there were all kinds of stalls selling a wide variety of goods. He bought a skewer of candied hawthorns and ate them as he headed out of town.

A light drizzle suddenly began to fall from the sky. Yin Zhiping slightly circulated his internal energy, and a transparent wall of energy covered his body, preventing his clothes from getting soaked.

He thought to himself, "His internal strength is profound; its wonders are truly boundless."

He remembered that in the novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," the Sweeper Monk seemed to be able to create a wall of energy, making him incredibly powerful.

Unbeknownst to him, Yin Zhiping walked to the outskirts of the city, enjoying the drizzle and the beautiful autumn scenery.

A high mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, with red and yellow hues mingling in the forest. A gentle breeze rustles the leaves, creating an indescribably beautiful scene.

Yin Zhiping floated up to the top of a tree and, after searching for a while, saw Mei Chaofeng at the foot of a mountain.

She wrote a memorial tablet for her deceased husband, Chen Xuanfeng, and placed fruits and meat on it. There were burnt yellow papers on the ground, and several extinguished incense sticks and candles next to them.

Mei Chaofeng, dressed in a plain white mourning robe, stood gracefully in the drizzle, her long, cloud-like hair fluttering in the autumn wind.

Yin Zhiping stood on the branch, looking at her pale profile, and could see a trace of girlish charm. He thought to himself that Mei Chaofeng was already thirty-six or thirty-seven years old, yet her stunning beauty remained unchanged.

He has excellent hearing and eyesight.

Seeing that her clothes were too tight and almost bursting, I knew she had saved money and bought too few plain white ones, so the mourning clothes she made were too small and couldn't cover her plump figure.

The drizzle had soaked her clothes, and the coarse linen clothes clung tightly to her body, outlining her graceful and succulent figure.

Mei Chaofeng heard her say, "You wicked man, seventeen years have passed since you died. Time has flowed by, and the wind and rain have been fierce. I can no longer even remember what you look like..."

Her face was filled with sorrow, her slender eyebrows drooped, and she looked pitiful.

She added, "Back then, when we left Peach Blossom Island, I was just an innocent young girl. If you were to master the divine skill, I would wholeheartedly accompany you. I don't ask for unparalleled martial arts skills, I only wish to be by your side."

"But you... but how could you abandon me?"

"For seventeen years, I have never seen the light of day, like a lost soul wandering the earth. Do you know how lonely and miserable I have been?"

"Practicing that divine skill was your wish, but now that you're dead, I've obtained the authentic Xuanmen secret manual. Isn't this a cruel twist of fate?"

Mei Chaofeng stood in the rain, her body appearing even more delicate and graceful, her heart filled with even more bitterness.

She added, "Very well, I'll burn that incantation for you, so you won't be lonely in the underworld."

As she spoke, she went to get the remaining yellow paper, but grabbed a clump of muddy paper. Before she knew it, the rain had washed it into a clump.

She smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that this is fate. You will never master the Nine Yin Manual, whether you live or die."

call--!

Suddenly a gust of wind came and blew over the memorial tablet.

Mei Chaofeng rushed forward to help him up, exclaiming in shock, "You scoundrel! Even in death you can't forget this!"

"For seventeen years, in the dead of night, you never came back to see me. Now, at the mere mention of this cultivation formula, you're tempted?"

Mei Chaofeng angrily retorted, "Fine! I'll show you!"

It was raining heavily.

She suddenly untied her long whip and danced it amidst the torrential rain in Yinshan, the wind howling around her.

As she danced, she chanted: "Baby and girl unite as yin and yang, lead and mercury combine to divide the sun and moon!"

He chanted incantations, channeled his inner energy, and wielded his long whip.

Each lash snaps a tree as thick as a bowl in half.

Yin Zhiping: ...

He could see that Mei Chaofeng's emotions were turbulent, completely inconsistent with the many incantations she was speaking of. If this continued, it would be another sign of her going astray in her cultivation.

He then spoke up to remind them, "Be careful."

"Huh?" Mei Chaofeng's heart trembled. She lashed out with her whip, but Yin Zhiping reached out and grabbed the tip of the whip.

Yin Zhiping's skill was extremely profound. After watching for so long, she still hadn't noticed him. Recalling her earlier lapse in composure, she felt embarrassed.

"You've come to laugh at me too!" Mei Chaofeng rebuked angrily.

Yin Zhiping said, "I came to see you, not to laugh at you. You always think too badly of people."

Mei Chaofeng was furious and said coldly, "What kind of good person could you be?"

She yanked hard on the long whip, but couldn't budge it; it only caused the waves to surge, making Yin Zhiping raise his eyebrows.

He put down his long whip and advised, "The Xuanmen martial arts seek stillness. If you don't restrain yourself and your five energies surge, and you continue to wield the whip, do you intend to suffer a qi deviation again?"

Mei Chaofeng's breasts heaved as she retorted angrily, "What's it to you!"

Yin Zhiping said, "Since you say so, I can't interfere anymore. You can practice all you want."

Mei Chaofeng paused, then stopped moving and whispered, "Don't spread this... don't tell anyone, especially not those girls."

Yin Zhiping said, "Don't worry, I've always kept my mouth shut."

The rain was getting heavier.

Mei Chaofeng's body was enveloped in the heavy rain, making her appear thin and helpless.

Yin Zhiping walked to the stone wall at the edge of the mountain, swung his long sword, and stone chips flew everywhere. In a few strokes, he carved out a stone chamber.

He sat down and said, "Want to come in and get out of the rain?"

Mei Chaofeng said, "I don't need your pity."

Yin Zhiping said, "You're angry with your deceased husband, why are you taking it out on me? I've helped you so many times, and this is how I get treated?"

Mei Chaofeng said, "I...I didn't get angry at you, I just hate myself."

Yin Zhiping asked, "You hate yourself? Why?"

Mei Chaofeng said, "I...I hate myself for never being resolute enough. That scoundrel tricked me into going off the island with him. He said he was going to the desert, so I went. After hearing that he killed Zhang Asheng before he died, I don't even want to take revenge anymore..."

Yin Zhiping said, "That's right. You hate that you wasted the first half of your life, always making choices based on the influence of others. If you lived a different life, things would definitely be different."

Mei Chaofeng said, "Indeed, I was an innocent and carefree girl when I was on Peach Blossom Island, but now I've become neither human nor ghost. If I lived a different life, things would definitely be different."

Yin Zhiping asked, "Are you resenting Chen Xuanfeng for taking you away from Peach Blossom Island?"

Mei Chaofeng said, "No, I only regret that I'm so easily swayed. Whoever is good to me, I'm good to them without hesitation. If I could do it all over again, I would only advise him to stay on Peach Blossom Island."

Yin Zhiping said, "But I've been so good to you, yet I've never seen you be good to me."

Mei Chaofeng said, "I just didn't have the chance. Spare my life and pass on the secret formula to me. What's wrong with dying for you?"

Yin Zhiping said, "Then why were you cursing at me just now?"

Mei Chaofeng lowered her voice: "Alright, it was my fault. I know you're a good person, but sometimes you're just too annoying."

Yin Zhiping said, "Oh? I wonder what I did that annoyed you?"

Mei Chaofeng said, "Hua Zheng and Mo Chou are both innocent and bright girls, why would you deceive their feelings?"

Yin Zhiping said, "You see yourself in them, and you just feel that love shouldn't involve deception?"

Mei Chaofeng did not speak.

Yin Zhiping said, "Have you ever thought that I have never lied to them? They are both the women I love most."

Mei Chaofeng gave a cold laugh.

Yin Zhiping then asked, "Aren't you cold standing there?"

Mei Chaofeng was stunned for a long time.

She took a few steps, hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped into the stone chamber.

The stone chamber was cramped, and the two sat together, pressed close together.
