The confrontation ended smoothly and XiNiang followed Asuro right outside the tomb. She found him resting underneath a plum tree while his eyes were fixed on the clear blue skies. Since Asuro was busy with his head up in some cloud, XiNiang decided to use her ability on him. The Illusory Divine Jade does not only limit to sensing the presence of evil aura but also for the healing of dark aura that corrupts the body. She closed her eyes and afterwards, opened them glowing in a bright pink. As she laid her eyes using her ability on him, her jaw almost dropped on the ground.
'Impossible! With this heavy dark aura in his body, how could he survive at all?'
She was growing curious on his condition and wanted to peer more. She wanted to peer inside his acupoints, his meridians, his physiques and attributes yet, she doesn't understand why she could only see the dark aura almost enveloping his body to the extent that his physical, mental and spiritual attributes were hidden.
'This immortal is too stingy. He lived up to his reputation as the Dark Realm's Sixth Shura.'
After using her ability, she could not help but clench her fist and swallow her embarrassment as she approached him.
"Shura... It's payback time… You will help me cultivate the Nether Secret Record."
"No."
"WHY!? I brought you to see QiuAn and ask her some questions right? Please teach me to cultivate it."
"Yes you did but you are not worthy cultivating it."
Asuro stood up and was about to leave when XiNiang stopped him holding his elbow.
"Teach me… Please."
"Why on earth would you cultivate this forbidden technique? If I were you, you'd cultivate the aromatic heart arrow blossom instead."
"No. I've made up my mind. I know what I'm doing."
"Listen little girl, cultivating the Nether Secret Record is not a child's play. Lately, I've sensed that you peered inside my soul did you not?"
"I—I…"
"Then let me tell you… Cultivating this forbidden technique is impossible if yoi do not have a mass dark aura inside your body. Even with a heart protection pill, your body could only stand for 5 seconds at most before it starts to corrode into nothingness."
"A mass dark aura… That's why—"
Recalling on the past events, she remembered her faithful disciple, Mei WuTang who gave up her life for her to survive. Surely, it was not Asuro's fault for being revived once again because Mei WuTang's chance was 0 even at the beginning.
"You've witnessed it all before right? I can see it in your eyes. The body of the ones who cultivate without mass dark aura will start to crumble and also, if they cultivate on the coiling dragon column, the ground underneath will devour that person sending him or her into the depths of my dungeon."
"Wait… Y—Your…. Dungeon?"
"What? You knew that ignorant girl?"
"Yes! She's my disciple, Mei WuTang…"
"She's a fool indeed. But don't worry, even though my dungeons are a bit uncomfortable, Lu XueCao, my personal demon guard is keeping her company…"
<DARK REALM'S INTERIOR CITY, TAO YAN>
"XueCao! XueCao!"
"Wu Tang… Wu Tang… I'm going to…"
Drenched in sweat with bodies locked together, XueCao and WuTang's body is intertwined together in a steamy hot and romantic intercourse.
Apparently, WuTang was sent there a few months ago and met Lu XueCao who was the guard of the dungeons. With some little talks and visitations, WuTang and XueCao became familiar with each other and in the third month of their meeting, XueCao moved her out of the dungeon and housed her as her wife in Tao Yan city.
"Ah XueCao! Ahhhh."
"WuTang… WuTang! It's going to blow."
Their voices echoed all over the hall and reached QiuShan Li. His facial expression was indescribable as he chugged down a wine on his throat gulping heavily the liquid.
'I hope Master Asuro would come home already so that he will know that his faithful dog eats his bone everyday.'
<THE SHIFTING FLOWER SECT>
'ACHOO!' Asuro sneezed suddenly and XiNiang's eyes grew wide. She suddenly thought that the Shura might be allergic to the plum trees when, Asuro climbed up the tree and caught a petal floating in the wind. He rested up the tree afterwards looking like a majestic immortal as plum petals fell. The view matched his white robe and with the blowing of wind, the petals continued falling making him like an immortal from ninth heaven that descended on the earth.
XiNiang's jaw almost dropped in the ground seeing Asuro like this but she shook her head instead.
'It doesn't change my decision. I will cultivate the Nether Secret Record.'
"Shura! Shura! What will I do to obtain a mass dark aura?"
"You do not need to obtain it if you already have it inside you."
"Huh? Inside what?"
"*sighs* Wait I'll come down you deaf woman."
Asuro climbed down the tree and approached XiNiang closely.
"The mass dark aura is inside you. You just need to unlock it yourself."
"Myself? How do I do that?"
"You need to sleep with a demon."
"HAH? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?"
XiNiang facepalmed herself and wanted to slap Asuro directly but Asuro's voice tone suddenly changed into a serious mode.
"First, you need to meditate on the dark realm, second, you need to unlock the dark meridian inside your body by being nutted up by a demon."
"T—That's…"
Asuro's face began to lighten once again and gave her an innocent smile.
"Well if you're not interested in the Nether Secret Record, I'll be taking my leave now…. Ta—ta!"
"N—No… No! Alright! I'll do what you say!"
Asuro looked at her and pretended not to hear. He put one of his hands behind his ear and leaned closely to her.
"Huh? What? I didn't hear about it."
XiNiang's face turned beet red.
"I—I'll cultivate."
"Alright. You need to come with me."
Asuro drew a circle in the air and chanted a phrase. A portal opened up leading inside Tao Yan city's interior. Asuro stepped inside the portal with his hand extending to XiNiang.
"Are you coming or what?"
"Yes…"
Receiving Asuro's hand, XiNiang went inside the portal. As they both had stepped inside, the portal closed itself behind their back.
"Follow me, I'll let you see how that stupid girl is doing."
Asuro led XiNiang descending down the dungeons. Walking few steps more, they had reached inside the dark dungeon. But, there was no prisoner there. XiNiang raised an eyebrow seeing that Mei WuTang was nowhere to be found.
"You told me that you kept her here now where is she?"
"Let's go on the interior city on my palace, maybe they're there."
"They better be."
Walking back to the palace, Asuro never talked to XiNiang but he could see the guilt inside XiNiang's eyes.
'Maybe she felt responsible for that stupid girl. I don't know what happened between them, but it seems like she owed something that couldn't be paid.'
As they have reached the palace, their eyes grew wide on the things that they have heard. XiNiang's face turned red peppers hearing everything on point.
For Asuro, he had done these things not just from his past lifetime but also on his current, so it doesn't affect him much.
After a few moments, QiuShan Li ran towards them reporting the situation but as Li was about to open his mouth, Asuro spoke fast preventing him not to utter any more words.
"He will be your partner."
XiNiang's eyes grew wide same as that of Li.
"WHAT?"
Asuro sighed and shook his head.
"Now now… You can't be too picky. It'd be better if you have General Li or would you rather do the cultivation with them?"
Asuro's sight was fixed on the wild demons. XiNiang gulped a saliva. Finally, she agreed to Asuro's condition and she will stay on the dark realm for 3 months.
