ILLUSION (III)

"Of course." Xie Bai said smiling.

Sitting down opposite her, the two of them joined hands to cultivate. This way, they would be able to cultivate faster. Since his cultivation level was higher than hers, he would be able to help her overcome any backlash.

Huiqing slowly regained consciousness. She was sweating heavily from the thick blanket they had covered her with. Only when she sat up and removed the blanket did she finally understand why they had covered her in the first place. She felt very weak like she was about to die.

Looking round, she saw Jiu Bao sleeping by the table. She must have been here to watch over her the whole night.

"Water."

Getting up, she struggled to reach for the teapot which was boiling. Just as she was about to touch it, her strength failed her causing her to fall down. This also woke up Jiu Bao.

"Huiqing, what are you doing?" Jiu Bao asked running to help Huiqing.

"I just wanted to get some water. Sorry. I woke you up" Huiqing said

"You are still very weak. You should rest. I will pour you some tea" Jiu Bao said removing the tea pot from fire.

Pouring it into a cup, she went to Huiqing's bed and gave it to her. Huiqing gulped it down not minding that it was boiling hot. Giving the cup back to Jiu Bao, she laid down to rest.

Su Ying opened her eyes the next day. How did she sleep? The last thing she remembered was that she was cultivating with her second brother. Where was he?

Getting up, she sat down surveying her room. Suddenly, Xie Bai came out from the inner room scarring Su Ying.

"Why haven't you left?" Su Ying asked checking her body.

"Silly girl." Xie Bai said hitting her head.

"Ouch!" Su Ying shouted rubbing her head.

"Refine your cultivation." Xie Bai said.

Crossing her legs, Su Ying closer her eyes inhaling. She smiled at the immerse powers she had gotten. Finally, she had broken through her level. She was finally a Martial Expert. Took her long enough!

After she was through, she stood up happy with herself causing Xie Bai to smile at her.

"What?" Su Ying asked

"You are just a Martial Expert and you are happy?" Xie Bai asked

"I wouldn't listen to you. I am finally able to be a Martial Expert. I am so happy!" Su Ying shouted falling back on her bed.

"That doesn't mean you should stop cultivating. You have to strive to be better. Su Ying, you are aware that you at the only one behind, right?" Xie Bai asked

Yes. Yes. She was aware. Her first sister was a Martial Saint. One step from becoming a Deity and ascending. While her second brother and her third sister were both Martial Overlords. Only the heavens knew when she would finally ascend.

Jiayi sat down making herself pretty. She was so bored of staying in the dark realm. Everyone here treated her like a little breakable princess. Not that she was protesting.

Sneaking out of her room, she hurried down the hall. Her father was busy so he wouldn't catch her. Her only worry was that busy body of a crown prince, Yang Han. After being able to sneak outside the palace, Jiayi smiled to herself and turned into a raven and flew away.

Flying around in the mortal realm, she spotted the so called Raven sect of the dark realm. The sect was the pride of the dark realm and everyone wished to go there. But with Lord Chaos's strict leadership, most people second guessed the thought.

Landing down, she changed back to a human smiling. Although, the formation covering the school was strong, it was nothing she couldn't handle.

Sneaking across the sect, she hid when she heard some voices.

"Brother Feng Yu, you have to come. Brother Tingzhe, please convince him" She heard someone say.

"Whether he wants to or not is his choice" Tingzhe said

"Please brother Feng Yu! Please!" A female said

Fengge inhaled knowing there was no way he would be able to avoid their invitation. They were inviting him to drink. Seeing as today Lord Chaos had dismissed them early, the disciples never wasted them to drink, dance and have a feast. Tingzhe had once said it was what always brought them close.

"Fine. I will come" Fengge said

Jiayi paused when she heard that familiar voice. It couldn't be. Sticking her head out, she saw Fengge but could not recognize him due to his disguise.

"But he is handsome and manly. I have to find out who is he is!" Jiayi said excited.

Fengge headed to the arena with his fellow disciples. Although his father, the heavenly king had forbade him from learning dark magic, he found it to be interesting and powerful. Even more powerful than heaven's magic.

Excusing himself, he headed back to his room to collect his tag. Without it, the beasts guarding the school might not recognize him. Opening the door, he quickly grabbed the tag from his bed and was about to leave when someone called his name.

"Feng Yu. Your name is Feng Yu, right?" Jiayi asked seductively.

Turning his head, Fengge looked at Jiayi blinking. It was really her. And she was wearing a very tempting dress. Covering his eyes, Fengge used his powers to cover her with the blanket.

"Nice. Noble. Never have I seen a demon whose so noble before" Jiayi said smiling

"Who are you? And how did you get in here?" Fengge asked

"I came to see you. Brother Feng Yu, I have a problem" Jiayi said whispering in his ear seductively.

Fengge clenched his hand and closed his eyes as he struggled to maintain control over himself. Jiayi's true form was a snake. Of course she would be an expert at seducing men.

Using his free hand, he pushed her away from him causing her to land on the bed. Breathing heavily, he opened the top part of his shirt.

"Ouch! How dare you? Do you know who I am?" Jiayi asked angrily.

"You are a woman. You should be conservative and not behave so unruly." Fengge said

"I don't care!" Jiayi said grabbing Fengge.

Wrapping her hands around him, she stung his neck causing Fengge to push her away once more. Smiling to herself, she watched as Fengge fell to the floor on one knee. Her stings were highly poisonous since it came from her true form. Although it wasn't as strong as Lord Sly's illusion, it would be enough to accomplish her goal.

Seeing Fengge battle with himself, Jiayi took advantage pushing him to the ground. There was no man in this world who had ever refused her. By now, he probably won't be able to know illusion and reality.

Fengge shook his head vehemently as he tried to shake off the illusion in his mind. Because of her poison, he wasn't able to use his powers either. Gasping for air, he felt as Jiayi kissed his neck passionately trying to seduce him. He couldn't tell if it was an illusion or reality.

Suddenly he saw himself in his palace. His father was coming to meet him. How had he gotten back here? His father seemed very angry with him. Just as he was about to talk, his father slapped him hard across his face.

Tingzhe opened the door looking for Fengge. He had left about an hour ago and had not yet come back. All the disciples had taken a liking to Fengge. Who wouldn't? He was so pure and naive. Plus he was good and often took the fall for the rest of the disciples. The fact that as an heavenly prince, he wasn't criticizing them, made Tingzhe also like him. Even if he wasn't ready to admit it.

Opening the door, he saw Fengge on the ground and a woman kissing him. His chest had already been exposed. Dragging her by the hair, he forced Jiayi to stand up.

"Ouch! Who are you?" Jiayi asked

Looking at her face, Tingzhe recognized her immediately letting go of her hair.

Fengge's eyes cleared immediately. Looking up, he saw Tingzhe standing with Jiayi. Tingzhe noticed Fengge had regained himself and helped him off the ground.

"Jiayi, you are too much! As a princess of the dark realm, how can you be so shameless?" Tingzhe asked scolding her.

"Shameless? Can't you see at all? He was the one seducing me!" Jiayi said

"Yes. That's true. Forgive me princess" Fengge lied trying to help Jiayi. She probably didn't want her reputation to be tarnished. She was the girl he had chosen to be his heavenly crown princess. Her reputation was worth more than his life.

Tingzhe stood observing the both of them. Of course he had heard about their relationship. Jiayi who was always taking advantage of Fengge and Fengge was too naive to realize it.

"Jiayi, you don't fool me. Get out! Don't come here again. And stay away from Feng Yu. Or the dark king will hear about this" Tingzhe said threatening her.
