Chapter 1 Demonization of the Heart
Immortal World
Inside a formation array, a female immortal lay with her eyes closed. Her beautiful and outstanding appearance was now pale, her eyebrows slightly frowning. She seems to be enduring pain within her sleep, causing the man looking at her to feel pity, hating that he could not subst.i.tute her and bear all her hards.h.i.+ps.
It doesn’t seem easy to control the array for the Immortal. His gentle and handsome face at this time is particularly grim. Don’t know if its because his power is consumed too much, or because his heart is nervous, his forehead is sweating, his lips tightened into a thin line.
The Immortal controlled the formation array, carefully extracting something from the female Immortals sea of knowledge.
With his movements, the female Immortals face appeared more painful. In a coma she moaned and groaned, making the Immortal’s hand shake, almost unable to continue.
He settled his mind before he continued to pull that thing out from her sea of knowledge.
The thing that was caught had no material form in her sea of knowledge and resembled a black mist. The black fog instinctively struggled in his confinement, trying to struggle free, instantly making the female immortal have a splitting headache, she trembled all over from head to toe, cold sweat overflowing.
The Immortals tension seems even worse. He gritted his teeth, over drafting his full strength, not hesitating, the black fog is tightly wrapped, as if forming a thick coc.o.o.n, the struggling black fog is deeply buried within it.
For a moment over drafting his Immortal power left him shaking and swaying, barely able to stand firm. He looked deathly pale, and once again struggled to control that black fog out of the female Immortals sea of knowledge.
With the help of the formation, he finally separated that thing from her sea of knowledge. The black mist was drawn out from the female Immortal. He raised his hand and threw it aside.
The black mist changed into a female form, her appearance exactly the same as the female Immortal who lay unconscious in the formation array.
The Immortal took a deep breath, looking at the female Immortals heart demonized human form.
To say where the difference is, the female Immortals temperament is cold and n.o.ble, and the woman in front, probably due to being a heart demon her nature is full of temptation. Cleary its the same five features, but in her face there is a brilliant kind of beauty, her eyes are flowing with a charming tenderness. Her figure is also more exquisite and finer than the female Immortal.
But she was not a fully formed heart demon, she was formed after being stripped from the sea of knowledge. When heart demons are not yet formed, they are a ma.s.s of chaos. Now she has just been born, so in addition to her seven-points of charm, there are three points of ignorance and innocence.
But the Immortal in front of the heart demon seems motionless, after a moment, he expressionlessly pulled out his sword, to thoroughly kill the heart demon.
Although the heart demon is ignorant but she understands that he extracted her from the sea of knowledge to kill her. Although she is not fully formed, understanding only chaos, but its not as if she doesn’t know anything. She knew that this Immortal loved the female Immortal.
"Ran You G.o.d…"
This is the same voice as the Xuan Yao fairy, making Ran You who is holding the sword slightly pause for a moment.
"Ran You G.o.d, I have never done anything bad, I will be good later on, don’t kill me, ok?" The heart-demon looked at him tenderly, her voice lovely and pitiful.
"You don’t have to bother tempting me." But his sword did not move, his hand held his sword-tightly, as if to convince himself. "You should not exist."
Killing a woman who looks exactly like Xuan Yao fairy, easier said than done. He turned his head deeply gazing at the still sleeping fairy. Thinking of her trust, its hard for him to be cold hearted.
With the same voice, but also deliberately imitating her tone, the heart demon’s voice sounded again, "I was born because of Xuan Yao, all her desire, greed and sentiments, everything she wants but does not dare to desire…" The heart demon’s words are full of enchantment. "If I should not exist, then are all the desires of Xuan Yao wrong?"
Ran You did not look at the heart demon, and he did not move again.
The heart demon saw the play could go on, and continued: "Daoist Immortal, have mercy, jealousy, evil and hatred, I would never do."
"Because of evil, I was formed, it is my first time seeing the world, but Immortal Lord wants to kill me." She was forced by external forces to be born, and never had the opportunity to cultivate, born with a bit of magic, she is naturally not the Daoist Immortal’s opponent.
She weeped, slowly approaching him, gently pulling his clothes, "I am the heart of Xuan Yao, she is kind and n.o.ble, her desires, how could they be bad, just seeking and not suffering…"
Ran You
Heart demon secretly rejoiced, raising her hand about to caress the hand of the Immortal, but she was thrown away.
Ran You walked a few steps away from the heart demon, not daring to look at her again. He calmed down and sighed.
She is the heart demon of Xuan Yao, and Xuan Yao…is his heart demon.
It’s just a matter of hiding Xuan Yao’s heart demon, killing her heart demon is not the solution.
Ran You looked at Xuan Yao, for not acting in accordance with her numerous orders, his heart is sorry, but he will handle it properly and cleanly.
He raised his sleeve, sucking the heart demon into his Qiankun* sleeves, and walked away from the inner room.
"Immortal Lord." The guard at the door bowed respectfully.
"Guard it well here and don’t let anyone in."
"Yes."
The heart demon was thrown into his Qiankun sleeve, all around black. Not knowing where he is taking her, she is anxious. But thinking that she didn’t die, she relaxed a little.
Ran You flew all the way through the clouds. The heart demon in his Qiankun sleeve became drowsy, don’t know how long, they stopped. He let the heart demon out of his sleeve.
The heart demon is dazed, at first sight she saw in the sky a huge floating pearl, the light overflowing, just like the moon. And this pearl seems to be like a vast water mirror lake, gleamingly reflective, like waves in sunlight, mist covered water.
She looked carefully and realized that it was not a lake, but a deep valley. The fog filled the deep valley which was as thick as water, and she couldn’t see what was inside.
In this thick fog, light and shadow occasionally floated, just like a mirage, sometimes flas.h.i.+ng with mountains and rivers, sometimes pavilions, and sometimes strangely clothed people, images brought together, moving.
The heart demon guesses, perhaps this pearl is a magic weapon, able to cause such visions. "What is this pearl?"
"That pearl, is the heart of a demon shen.*"
Seeing the heart demon with that puzzled expression looking exactly like his sweetheart, Ran You could not help but explain more.
"The shen demon can present distant scenes in front of the eyes, woven into a magical illusion, no one knows the true face of the shen demon, only knowing that its heart is a pearl. The powerful shen demon can explore the void and reflect the sight of other small thousand boundaries."
The heart demon looked down at the scene in the valley below, "The fog below is the reflections of the small thousand boundaries, mapped out by the pearl, with its remnant images. Here an ancient shen demons bones are buried in the earth below, the illusion of the ancient shen demon is enough to make a small thousand boundary world, not so much a remnant but an actual small thousand boundary." The sound of Ran You in this silent night is as cool as water. "Pearl like the moon, mist over waves, flowers in a mirror and the moon reflected in the lake, this pearl is named Water Moon Mirror."
The heart demon slowly looked up, "…So, you’re trying to throw me into the small thousand boundaries in the Water Moon Mirror."
"Water Moon Mirror, in addition to occasionally being used as exile for sinners, its also used as a place for refining the heart, but regardless whether its an exiled person, or someone learning through experience, we will seal their memory and magic in advance, so when they experience a new world, they will forget the things before. So you don’t have to worry that they’ll hurt you."
"You’re going to seal my memory and my magic, too."
Ran You looked at her with a complicated expression, he decided to completely seal all of her magic. He couldn’t give her a chance to escape.
"As for your memory… I won’t seal it." He couldn’t ama.s.s his magic power for a moment, he helplessly sighed, looking at the heart demon he said, "With your clever mind, presumably you will live very well in the small thousand boundaries."
The heart demon’s head hung low, and a mocking smile appeared in the corner of her mouth. So, she should thank him.
She looked up, seeing the compa.s.sion on his face, she suddenly gave birth to malicious intent.
"The heart demon is a collection of a person’s greed and naturally it includes all of the desires of that person." The heart demon has a taunting look on her face, but not visible, slowly saying, "You are willing to let me go, then I will tell you one thing. In fact, she…You are in her heart."
Ran You’s eyes shook, an unbelievable expression on his face, but also unable to suppress the brightness in his eyes and the brilliant joy in the bottom of his heart.
"…Truly."
"I am her heart, and no one knows her mind better than I do. Maybe even she didn’t notice it, but she couldn’t hide it from me."
"She…She, doesn’t she admire the G.o.d Emperor, in order to be selected from the examination for his G.o.d service, she took the risk of letting me perform a technique to remove her heart demon?"
"Although the Immortal Emperor is looking for someone to serve him, seeking a wife, but that does not mean that every woman chosen will become a G.o.d Lady……After all, being able to serve near the G.o.d Emperor, a sentence and a half raises points, it is already a very fortunate thing and also of great benefit to cultivation."
The heart demon smiled, "Moreover, the G.o.d Emperor is high above, but also handsome, being lost in his eyes, confused, admiration and love is also normal. But I cannot be any clearer, the person she really has in her heart, is you ah."
Seeing Ran You’s pleasant surprise, but also his half-doubt, the heart demon continued: "Otherwise, why did she first think of asking you for help to conceal the emergence of her heart demon matter and using this forbidden technique, not letting others know her secret, and also very dangerous, but she still came to you…Because in her heart, you are the most trustworthy person…"
Seeing Ran You already convinced, she repeatedly suppressed her joy, her eyes suddenly revealed a sly look, "Unfortunately ah, it’s truly a pity, unfortunately, unfortunately…"
"What a pity."
"Unfortunately, she stripped her heart demon out, and along with it all of her love for you." The girl leisurely got up, smiled tenderly and held out a finger, gently tapping her heart, "The love she had for you, is right here ah…"
"What…"
When the heart demon finished, she fell backwards into the deep valley of illusion.
Ran You was shocked and wasn’t able to hold her in time, once he reacted he rushed to the edge of the deep valley, fingertips only able to catch the cold wind from her fallen sleeves.
The smile on the heart demon’s face was very cheerful.
Of course, I lied to you.
(1*) Qiankun 乾坤 qián kūn - s.p.a.ce, it has unlimited s.p.a.ce; Heaven and earth; Yin and Yang; The Universe
(2*) 蜃 shèn - (mythical animal); clam; seserpent; In folklore its said that shen could produce illusions and such in addition to making pearls.
More on that here:

(3*) Water Moon Mirror is actually 镜花水月 jìng huā shuǐ yuè- lit. flowers in a mirror and the moon reflected in the lake (idiom); fig. an unrealistic rosy view; viewing things through rose-tinted spectacles; also written 水月鏡花 水月镜花. That seems like a long af t.i.tle, so I went with Water Moon Mirror.
Just one chapter of this one, after falling into the Water Moon Mirror, she starts her quick wear journey. I haven’t read the whole novel, but this chapter really hooked me. I’ve just read one arc. The first arc is about a cat demon and a monk. I was expecting something different, cuz shes a heart demon ya know, but its not really my cup of tea and I prefer a more unconventional novel, but I think others would enjoy this story. Heart demon is actually heart devil but I decided to go with demon. If there are any mistakes in translation, feel free to let me know. Thanks for reading and happy Friday!???
