Chapter 7

Night Lianhua felt a bit of sympathy! It was true that he was a lecher, but his title as the Master of Lianhua Pavilion wasn't given lightly! Basically, he had never killed many women. Of course, the few from Yunxiao Palace didn't count; they were about to tear him apart, so he had to finish them off with one strike!

But the little girl's soul, which was as delicate as a little bird, posed no threat to him at all, and she looked pitiful, not at all like the arrogant one she had been before!

"Ah, she's just a child, I'm really becoming more and more lenient!" Night Lianhua felt a bit annoyed. He walked forward and gently picked up the girl, holding her in his arms. Although he was a lecher, he had his limits and had no interest in young girls! He considered himself merely a playboy; he used force because he didn't have the time to court those beauties with sweet talk. It was much better to get straight to the point! Besides, when those girls heard that they were taken by the Master of Lianhua Pavilion, they usually put up only a token resistance before submitting!

Night Lianhua's reputation for being gentle with women was as famous as his reputation for being ruthless with male cultivators! So the girls knew that as long as they didn't resist too violently, their lives would be spared!

Better to live a miserable life than to die! At that point, most of them were quite pragmatic!

There were a few exceptions, who chose to bite their tongues and commit suicide rather than let Night Lianhua have his way! When he discovered this, he immediately stopped the girls and did not force them, secretly releasing those few strong-willed women! His actions were far less cold-blooded than the rumors suggested, but these things were not widely known!

However, he was truly ruthless and merciless towards his own gender! He had killed at least eight thousand male cultivators, if not ten thousand! In this aspect, he was indeed a true great demon!

So he was a top-notch lecher with two extreme personalities!

At that moment, he held the little girl's smooth, small body and conjured up a princess dress for her to wear! Then he nodded affirmatively, "Uncle always keeps his word. Once I find my target, I'll leave your body immediately. Don't be afraid!"

The little girl curled her fingers, then her big eyes blinked a few times, and her heart was no longer afraid! She jumped off Night Lianhua, looked down at her clothes, and tugged at them curiously, immediately becoming happy again!

"Uncle!" Her soul asked, "Do you know where I come from? Who are my parents? I'm so lonely, why don't you stay here and play with me? Don't go!"

Ah? Night Lianhua immediately waved his hands, "No can do, little one. I still need to possess a man's body and seek revenge! I don't have time to play with you. I don't know who your parents are, but they probably aren't here!"

"Is that so...?" The little girl lowered her head, her eyes almost turning red with disappointment!

Night Lianhua felt a bit of sympathy. He suddenly squatted down and looked into the little one's big eyes, speaking gently, "How about this: after Uncle possesses a body, you can stay with me. We can practice cultivation together and look for your parents. What do you think?"

"Great, great, let's do that!" The little girl became happy and started running around barefoot!

Night Lianhua smiled bitterly! But he also felt lucky, as his soul fragment now had a temporary resting place and wouldn't dissipate! The little bird was very fast and could quickly fly across the vast regions of the Wisteria Empire. He would definitely find a suitable man!

"Men, I need men! Men with excellent potential!" Night Lianhua shouted. Of course, the meaning was different, don't get it wrong!

From that day on, the little bird carried Night Lianhua's soul fragment and began its journey to find a suitable body! As summer gave way to autumn, Night Lianhua was speechless. He had encountered several dozen suitable men, but they all had some foundation, and their souls were already quite resilient. His soul fragment was too weak to possess these adults! Among the children he encountered, none had exceptional talent, and possessing them would not allow him to reach a high level of cultivation. This way, his dream of regaining his former superhuman strength would become a distant dream!

If he was going to do it, he had to do it right the first time! Possessing a body could only be done three times at most, and each time his soul would become weaker, reducing the success rate! Night Lianhua understood this very well and, with the mindset of preferring quality over quantity, he gritted his teeth and continued searching!

Before he knew it, winter arrived, and the cold snow began to fall! The world trembled in the fierce wind, and winter had finally come...

...

The night was deep, and the cold grew more intense! The cold moonlight shone through the snow, covering the world in a silver blanket, making it look exceptionally beautiful! A man in fine silk clothing moved silently, his body as light as a feather. Suddenly, his body stumbled, his breath became unsteady, and his feet made a crunching sound in the snow. His heart was in turmoil!

On both sides of the mountain path, towering trees shed large amounts of snow, their branches dancing wildly, as if mocking the disoriented man!

Suddenly, the dark clouds in the sky began to move, slowly dispersing. The starry night sky and the icy moon were revealed, and the snow stopped!

The man suddenly felt something was amiss, looked up, and his eyes seemed to flash with a sharp light! His pupils instantly contracted to a pinpoint! He murmured, "A celestial anomaly, could this be the heavens' wrath? But I have no choice; since the mistress ordered it, I must do it! Even if I am unwilling, I cannot resist the powerful control of the soul contract. May the heavens not blame me!"

His eyes were filled with deep resentment and unwillingness, but the soul contract made him unable to disobey his mistress's orders. Even though he knew it was wrong, he still had to carry it out!

Following his gaze, countless fire meteors appeared in the dark night sky! They came from the depths of the universe, traveling countless miles, burning with their last brilliant light, trailing long comet tails, and heading towards the unknown reaches of the universe! These meteors formed a bizarre and indescribable scene, as if conveying some hidden message!

This intangible message was sensed by the man, which is why he believed it was a sign of the heavens' wrath!

"Here, this is where it all ends!" He muttered these words and 'thud' knelt on the thick snow. He lifted the fine silk clothing, and a small, thin boy wrapped in a white blanket appeared before him! The boy was about seven or eight years old, plump and fair! He had been hidden in the man's arms, and only now did his true appearance become visible! His face was ordinary, but his eyebrows were a light blue, which was extremely unusual! At that moment, he was sleeping soundly, snoring lightly!
