Rebirth of the Cultivation Devil

But her heart was desolate; her parents were merely distant branches of the Zhou Family, without any power whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Zhou Qinglong was an elder of the family. With assets exceeding a billion and controlling immense power, he was a senior within the clan. How could Zhou Xinyu dare not to obey his orders?

"It doesn't matter!"

Ye Qingfeng remained exceedingly calm.

Zhou Xinyu was indeed very beautiful, her appearance top-notch, especially with snow-white skin and a cold temperament. Even in the Ancient Martial World, she was considered a goddess.

Yet such a supreme beauty was sent to Ye Qingfeng by the Zhou Family without hesitation.

Because, in the eyes of the Zhou Family, Ye Qingfeng's current value was already worthy of the family's alliance.

Even a beauty who could topple kingdoms was insignificant.

"Let it be!"

Ye Qingfeng nodded slightly.

Zhou Qinglong's aged face instantly bloomed with a smile, and he laughed heartily, as if he were a long-time friend of Ye Qingfeng.

After Zhou Qinglong left, only Ye Qingfeng and Zhou Xinyu remained, and the scene suddenly became awkward.

"Ye Qingfeng, who are you? Why do you have terrifying subordinates like Iron Hand, and even the family elders want to curry favor with you?"

"Is he really your guard? Who would believe that?"

She locked her gaze firmly on Ye Qingfeng's eyes, as if wanting to see through all his secrets.

"My identity is better left unknown to you; it won't do you any good. We're merely passing travelers in each other's lives!"

Ye Qingfeng slightly raised his eyelids.

Looking at Zhou Xinyu.

"Passing travelers, perhaps! But the Ancient Martial World isn't as simple as you think."

Zhou Xinyu's breath caught, and her face turned a bit pale.

Then, Zhou Xinyu spoke softly: "No matter who you are, I've been sold to you by the family anyway."

"You probably don't know, I returned this time because the family forced me into a matchmaking arrangement, to marry a young master from a major family."

"My parents lack martial talent and aren't good at business, so they can only be middle managers in the family business. I envied those brothers and sisters with pretty dolls and imported snacks since childhood. Unfortunately, my talent was poor, and I was bad at studying, only my looks were decent."

"Maybe it would be better to marry you or to be your lover than to marry a stranger playboy."

Ye Qingfeng stood by her side, listening to the girl's silent confession, even with the mindset of an Immortal Venerable.

To Zhou Xinyu, the genuine emotions she revealed tugged at his heart slightly.

'Ancient Martial Families, ultimately, is this the fate of a beautiful woman with some value?'

Ye Qingfeng couldn't help but recall that this time, Tang Duoduo, because of the Spirit Phoenix Body.

Was treated by the Tang Family as the prize for this Martial Arts Tournament.

Faced with a very similar fate.

His gaze on Zhou Xinyu finally softened a bit.

'Alright then, since you have met me, it's your destiny. Why shouldn't I grant you a lifetime of happiness and stability?'

Ye Qingfeng said softly.

"What, moved by my words, have you fallen in love with me?"

Zhou Xinyu looked up, teasingly smiled.

"Fallen in love with you?"

Ye Qingfeng chuckled wryly.

Ouyang Liluo, Tang Duoduo, Shui Yiyi, all possessed world-class beauty and were gentle and considerate.

Moreover, standing before Zhou Xinyu was the Nine Tribulations Immortal Venerable, tempered by hundreds of years in the Cultivation World.

In this lifetime, Ye Qingfeng was also a supreme devil who dominated the earthly realm, the Invincible War God.

Many seductive beauties wished to be close to him, far more than can be counted.

Though thinking this, Ye Qingfeng didn't say it aloud.

He could perceive the hint of sorrow behind the girl's smile. She was a living person, yet treated by her family like a gift to be given away, her self-esteem was undoubtedly wounded.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Come on, let me show you around our Medicine King Town."

Zhou Xinyu gathered herself, slender hands looped around Ye Qingfeng's arm, laughing happily.

After the two left, Zhou Qilin, standing in the shadows, finally turned around saying:

"Grandpa Long, what do you make of Ye Qingfeng's background?"

"He claims to come from Jiangnan, and met Xinyu halfway, apparently true, yet uncertain."

Zhou Qinglong shook his head lightly. "The Jiangnan region has no existing schools of magic or Martial Arts Families, moreover, never heard of a terrifying figure like Iron Hand."

"Qilin, don't worry, I've already sent people to investigate Jiangnan, we will understand soon."

Zhou Qinglong furrowed his brows slightly and said.

"Yes, Grandpa Long."

Zhou Qilin's face turned solemn, responding respectfully.

Only then did Zhou Qinglong nod in satisfaction.

In this generation of the Zhou Family appeared Zhou Qilin and Zhou Fenghuang, both brilliant geniuses shining brightly in their respective fields, it's destined by the heavens for the Zhou Family to rise.

From the next day onwards, the martial artists participating in the gathering increased steadily.

It's already several hundred now.

It seems Lingnan, as a region linking the Ancient Martial World with the Mortal World, indeed has many martial artists.

Ye Qingfeng was in no rush, as his main purpose here was for Tang Duoduo.

And to gather some spiritual medicine and items, to prepare for his Taoist Body breakthrough.

Having already secured backing from the Hua Family and Medicine King Valley, the spiritual medicine collection was complete. If he could receive some spiritual objects next, that would be an unexpected delight.

"Wow, there's elixir for sale? It's truly heavenly assistance!"

A travel-worn, unkempt middle-aged martial artist saw the banner, his eyes lit up, he stepped forward and slapped the table, saying: "Kid, how many Small Essence Building Pills do you have? I'll take them all."

Having said that, he flung open a code box, revealing a stack of thick green papers inside, all US Dollars!

This suitcase of US Dollars, to say the least, contains one or two million!

Ye Qingfeng sat there, not lifting his head, seemingly oblivious.

"Didn't you hear me talking?"

The middle-aged martial artist squinted, revealing a frightening glare.

All martial artists tend to have bad tempers.

After all, they are adventurers hanging their lives by a thread.

Ye Qingfeng still remained unmoved.

However, everyone around watched the middle-aged martial artist with sympathetic eyes.

At this moment, the middle-aged martial artist sensed something amiss, just then, an acquaintance martial artist hurried to pull him aside forcefully.

"Hidden Wolf, didn't you see the banner? He only accepts Thousand-year-old Divine Medicine or special spiritual objects. Nothing else."

"Such arrogance! Thousand-year old medicinal herbs are probably the treasure of top Ancient Martial Families!"

Hidden Wolf snorted coldly.

He scrutinized Ye Qingfeng, seeing Ye Qingfeng's rather ordinary appearance, not resembling a martial artist at all.

Yet the big guy behind him had a large physique, probably had some skills, but still couldn't withstand a few blows from him.

However, Hidden Wolf had ample experience and did not act rashly, instead he asked:

"Can't everyone just watch like this?"

"You think we want to stare enviously like that?"

The acquaintance smiled bitterly: "This guy not only has Small Essence Building Pills but also Treasure Pills. Even the Zhou Family and Medicine King Valley Hua Family want to recruit him, refused by him. That night, six martial artists surrounded him, including Tu Gang from the Tu Family who practiced the Vajra Iron Cloth Secret Technique, guess what happened?"

"The Tu Family? Practiced Vajra Iron Cloth?"

Hidden Wolf's heart shook, proceeding to ask.
