Chapter 16
When his master introduced them, Dark Sorceress Yin'an was standing next to a handsome man. That man is Miracle Healer Bei Feng. According to their master, that man was pursuing her for years before she accepted his proposal. Still... She keeps postponing their wedding day over and over again. Miracle Healer Bei Feng can only patiently wait for her. After, Ancestor Zu too founds that his senior sister enchantingly beautiful despite her despotic nature.
Though she is his master's disciple, she is living somewhere else. That was the reason why they only first met when he was a 15-year old. Dark Sorceress Yin'an is living in a large opulent palace, Huanxiang Palace on her own and her dark minions. She was not only beautiful but her power is to be reckoned with coupled with her abundance in fortune. And, she is also his first (secret) love.
Within 2 years, they always meet each other as she frequently came to Celestial Residence (Celestial Realm is still not created back then) just so she can disturb and teased him. Miracle Healer Bei Feng tagged along as well. The relations.h.i.+p between the Miracle Healer and him are considered to be cordial at times. One day, she stopped coming to Celestial Residence. He did not think much of it then. But, when he thinks further, she stopped coming after he introduced Hong Lian to her.
Hong Lian is a 15-year old orphan that his master found and brought back to Celestial Residence. Upon seeing that the young lady is quite capable in managing the Residence and a beauty herself, his master adopted her and told him that she will be married to him as his wife. He accepted it without any further thought and that has made Dark Sorceress Yin'an to never again steps into Celestial Residence.
Surprisingly, Miracle Healer Bei Feng occasionally came for a visit and said that he was doing so on behalf of Dark Sorceress Yin'an. He never realized that every time he came, Hong Lian was obviously happy and always available to join them during their conversations.
By end of that year, he received an invitation from both Dark Sorceress Yin'an and Miracle Healer Bei Feng that they will soon be married. He noticed the gloomy expression on Hong Lian's face
The wedding itself was held at the Kingdom of Leng where Miracle Healer Bei Feng from. Dark Sorceress Yin'an is also an orphan so the groom's family decided to take care every details of rhe wedding without any objection from her. But, all h.e.l.l breaks loose that day as the groom has gone missing. Along with his fiancee, Hong Lian.
He went to meet her and asked if she knows anything about it but she simply turns her head and says in a calm manner, "Hong Lian is not a good female, Zu Long. That loyal Bei Feng has become bad because of her. Ever since she first saw me, she considered me as a rival. She wanted everything that I have but she could never be as powerful as me or as rich as me so she decided to take what is dear to me. She did but that fool miscalculated."
Seeing her being cold and aloof makes him angry as he accused her of being the one at fault. She just stared at him with a mocking smile
"Zu Long, why are you so angry? Is it because of her? Or, was it because of me?"
He wanted to grab on her shoulder but she suddenly vanished from his sight. For years, he was searching for her whereabouts instead of the adulterous pair. Even their master was helpless as Huanxiang Palace was not easy to find due to the fact that she has put an illusionary spell on it making it harder for others to find the exact location of the palace.
It took him years to find Huanxiang Palace only to be nearly killed by her dark minions as she watched from her entrance door. In his anger, he destroyed her precious palace including her dark minions resulting in her fierce retaliation. They fought for to a point where he struck her vital points. Seeing that she was dying with tears in her eyes, he hugged her body before he forcefully separated her soul from her body. He used almost half of his cultivation to preserve her body before he kept it hidden in his Sacred Chamber.
Ancestor Zu stares at her beautiful face as she uses his lap as her pillow, "Yin'an, we have wasted all these years for nothing. You have made me search for your soul everywhere but luckily you have decided to search for An An. Imagine how disappointed I am when I saw your soul floating around the portal only to discover that she was the one you are looking for."
"Zu Long... It is too late for both of us?"
He looks down only to found that she is staring at him, "You are not drunk?"
"Slightly... I was just teasing you."
He chuckles and says, "You and your teasings. It is my turn now..."
Dark Sorceress Yin'an startled when Ancestor Zu suddenly dragged her to a large bed, "Zu Long..."
"Yin'an... We are not getting younger. After all, we have wasted so much time. Even that adulterous pair are with great-grandparents themselves. Back then, I have tried my best not to take advantage of your body."
Dark Sorceress Yin'an chuckles, "Speaks the truth, Zu Long..."
"Okay... Okay... I touched a little but I rather touch you now."
Young Mistress An Guang suddenly looks up and stare at the direction of Ancestor Zu's courtyard as she smiles. Light Mistress Guang Liang noticed this and asks, "An An... What is it? Did you have a vision?"
"Mother... Seems like Zuzu and grandmother Yin'an are both having a good time. I can feel it?"
Dark Lord An Shenyuan look at his wife before he gently pats his daughter's head, "Good for him. That old man needs someone to love him and pamper him after all."
The other Elders smile in approval as well before Left Chancellor Qing Yige says, "If they want, one can help them to conceive a child."
Young Mistress An Guang turns her head to look a the white-haired man and says, "Really? I wanted to see little Zu Zu running around here!"
Light Mistress Guang Liang chuckles and says, "Left Chancellor Qing, it is still too early for that but it is not too late for you to win senior sister's heart..."
"Mother is right. Left Chancellor Qing, aunt Xuan has a kind heart despite her poisonous mouth."
Left Chancellor Qing Yige smiles and says, "One knows."
