Chapter 1358: Chapter 185: The Solution Is Surprisingly Simple

After arriving on the Eight Desolates Continent, Yun Sheng came into contact with things that she had never encountered on the Wuji Continent.

The Power of Faith and the Faith Statue are two of those things.

Yun Sheng could feel that the Eight Desolates Continent was different from the Wuji Continent. Here, it was very likely that some people from the Divine World had already set foot.

These people had likely left divine objects in different places on the Eight Desolates Continent.

However, why would the Beast God Altar also have a Faith Statue? Could it be that the Beast God Altar and the Beast King are also colluding?

But when Ye Beiming took out the statue, Yun Sheng discovered that what the High Priest gave to Ye Beiming was not a Faith Statue.

This statue was very small in shape. Using Shennong’s Eyes to examine it, there was no conversion magic array inside. It seemed to be just an ordinary clay sculpture.

If it wasn’t a Faith Statue, why did the High Priest go to such great lengths to have Ye Beiming place it in the Kirin Holy Land?

What kind of medicine is the High Priest selling in his gourd?

"Does that High Priest really know how to break the Ancient Forbidden Curse?" Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming could only be together if the curse was broken.

"He has no reason to deceive me. Once the Eight Desolate Clan Competition ends, I will have the answer." Ye Beiming wasn’t very sure about it either.

But as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would not give up.

"Ye Huli, if... I mean if the Ancient Forbidden Curse cannot be lifted, what should we do?" Yun Sheng asked bitterly.

She had actually thought about this question many times.

Even her mother Hu Jiusheng and father Yun Canghai had once asked her this question.

"Then just die. To die under a peony blossom, even as a ghost, is to be romantic. I’ll die inside your body." Ye Beiming whispered ambiguously in Yun Sheng’s ear.

Yun Sheng was both ashamed and annoyed, and she punched Ye Beiming’s shoulder hard.

The latter cried out "ouch," scaring Yun Sheng, whose face turned pale as she leaned in with a nervous look.

"Assassins!"

Outside the room, there was a flurry of footsteps as a large number of guards rushed into the courtyard.

Yun Sheng pushed Ye Beiming.

"Hurry and leave. If someone finds you, it will be troublesome."

This was Dugu Xiu’s territory. If the two were caught together, who knew what might happen.

Yun Sheng did not know that Ye Beiming had already faced Dugu Xiu.

"We’ll meet again tomorrow." Ye Beiming gave a light peck on the tip of Yun Sheng’s nose like the touch of a dragonfly on water and then disappeared.

This man came and left without a trace. The time Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming reunited was too short, but she realized there was something different about Ye Beiming this time.

The man’s cultivation... Well, his talent was indeed demonic.

Touching her slightly swollen lips, Yun Sheng still had a few blushes on her face. It seemed destined to be a sleepless night, her ears burning. She pulled the blanket over her head, her mind still in turmoil.

Inside Dugu Mansion, the guards were constantly moving about.

As Ye Beiming crossed over the wall of Dugu Mansion and disappeared into the night, a shadow stood in the corner.

The man’s fingers clenched into a fist, the knuckles turning white.

His eyes were shrouded in dark clouds, as if ready to devour everything the next moment.

"Ye Beiming."

Dugu Xiu had long guessed that with Ye Beiming’s temperament, he would never rest easy upon learning that Yun Sheng was in Dugu Mansion.

He knew well how painful it was for him when he saw through the window Yun Sheng’s blushing and intoxicated face as Ye Beiming left.

But no matter how deep the love, so what?

For Ye Beiming, Yun Sheng was just a piece of succulent meat. As long as he didn’t know that secret, he could never touch Yun Sheng.

Thinking of this, Dugu Xiu’s ears rang with the words the High Priest had told him.

"Vice Clan Leader, the Ancient Forbidden Curse of the Qilin is not without a cure. The method to break it is quite simple; the curse only applies to the first union between a Black Qilin and a Heavenly Fox man and woman." The High Priest’s words were very cryptic, but Dugu Xiu understood them.

The Ancient Forbidden Curse applies only to the first relationship between the Kirin and Heavenly Fox couples.

This means, as long as he embraced another Heavenly Fox woman before possessing Yun Sheng, the Ancient Forbidden Curse would have no effect on him afterward.

However, the Heavenly Fox woman possessed would not be so lucky, with her only path leading to death.

Heavenly Fox woman... Dugu Xiu’s gaze turned icy, and his eyes fell on a certain spot in Dugu Mansion.

Dugu Xiu headed towards the garden of the mansion.

The garden in Dugu Mansion was large, with many pavilions and towers, and a small river flowed around a few rockeries.

Dugu Xiu arrived in front of one of the rockeries and touched a protruding rock.

The stone retracted, revealing a door on the rockery, and Dugu Xiu walked in.

Inside the rockery was surprisingly a secret chamber.

The decor in the chamber was still relatively tidy. At the very bottom of the chamber, there was a magic cage.

Hu Linglong was locked inside the magic cage. Ever since Dugu Xiu brought her back, she had been imprisoned here.

"Dugu Xiu, you madman, let me go! My father will not spare you!" Hu Linglong had been imprisoned here for nearly half a month.

Every day, Dugu Xiu would only order a blind and mute servant to bring the least amount of water and food.

As the daughter of the Vice Clan Leader of the Sky Fox Tribe, Hu Linglong had never endured such hardship.

"Your father? Even the Heavenly Fox Clan Leader Hu Qianqiu is a coward, let alone your father, or do you think the Vice Clan Leader of the Sky Fox Tribe is more powerful than I?" Dugu Xiu taunted.

This woman, having only a face the same as Yun Sheng’s, couldn’t even compare to a toe of Yun Sheng.

"Clan Leader? Has the Eight Desolate Clan Competition begun? Has my father also come?" Hu Linglong’s eyes suddenly brightened.

But then she remembered her current status; there was absolutely no possibility of returning to the Sky Fox Tribe.

Yu Shang and the Great Witch Doctor were probably searching high and low for her. If she showed up, there would be only one path for her—death. Comparatively, being in this magic cage was still safe.

"Did Lu also come? You promised me that once Lu arrived, you would let me... let me seduce him." Hu Linglong’s face turned red.

Dugu Xiu’s intention to keep her was simple: he wanted to use her to sow discord between the Jiuluan Clan and the Sky Fox Tribe.

He said that as long as she could seduce Lu, he would not only free her but also help arrange a marriage between her and Lu.

"Hmph, do you think your little tricks could seduce the Young Clan Chief of the Jiuluan Clan? You are not comparable to Yun Sheng at all." Dugu Xiu did once have such a thought, but he had now changed his mind.

He had thought of a better way to use Hu Linglong while also eliminating his thorn in the side.
