Chapter 195: Witch Requiem

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Gu Biyue placed her xiao to her red lips and blew slowly. A mysterious sound came out of the xiao. In an instant, it brought everyone into a beautiful artistic conception.

So beautiful.

Gu Biyue was known as the Witch because of how she acted. But actually, she was extremely elegant as she played the xiao right now. The music was beautiful and her long hair flew in the wind, her white dress fluttering. Like a fairy, she was otherworldly and mesmerizing.

This was the first time for many to see her. Looking at her right now, their eyes almost fell out. They couldn’t pull themselves out. Only she existed in their eyes.

A witch indeed. Enthusiasm flashed past Ji Zimo’s eyes. Liu Chenyu and Gu Biyue were different types of beauties but were both lovely. They had high status too. It would be great if he could have either of them.

The Witch was more attractive right now but Ji Zimo knew that it was because everyone was affected by the xiao’s artistic conception. The Witch Requiem was created from the Witch Clan’s spiritual sorcery. It could transform, and was extremely powerful. The Witch Requiem was the foundation of the Witch Clan. Only the core members could cultivate it. Gu Biyue was of high status so she could cultivate it.

There seemed to be no sound other than the xiao at the top of the mountain. Countless eyes looked over. So many people were mesmerized by the Witch now. She was beautiful and so was her music. Everyone was affected by it, even Ye Futian.

Right now, he stood across from Gu Biyue. Music notes flowed endlessly into his mind with intent power. However, it was different from what he’d imagined. It didn’t attack him. Instead, it engraved an image in his mind. It was the image of Gu Biyue. Her fairy-like image was planted in his mind and consciousness.

The beautiful music was intoxicating and the fairy-like figure was even more so. At that moment, his mind was completely taken over by Gu Biyue’s image. She seemed to want to be ingrained in his mind until he couldn’t pull himself out.

He involuntarily started admiring her, wanting to love her. He purely wanted to make that figure the most important part of his life.

Is it the Witch Requiem? Ye Futian thought. It was an advanced tactic and much more powerful than usual alluring techniques. Gu Biyue claimed that if Ye Futian could withstand it, she would admit defeat. It seemed that the so-called withstanding was a bit different from what he’d thought. It was possible he would surrender with one song. This was similar to the beastmaster life spirit that Emperor Ye Qing had blessed him with. It was different but one of the same. The Witch had really set up a trap for him.

Unfortunately, her target was him. No one in the Ancient Barren World could surpass him in will and intent. Gu Biyue couldn’t affect him either.

The song grew more and more beautiful. It was the first time for many to hear such a beautiful xiao. Even though the Witch only targeted Ye Futian, everyone was still affected. Some weaker ones were about to be taken over. They stared at her with endless admiration as if gazing at an angel.

As the music streamed into his ears, Ye Futian seemed close to falling for Gu Biyue. However, he was resolute. Another image appeared in his mind. He hadn’t seen Fox in a long time. Thinking of the one he loved, a smile appeared on his face. He erased the marks Gu Biyue left.

Gu Biyue, while playing the xiao, stared at Ye Futian and saw a brilliant smile on the handsome face. It was as if he had seen his beloved girl. However, she didn’t feel proud. Ye Futian didn’t smile like this because of her xiao or because of seeing her.

While she played, he actually thought of someone else. Was it one of the two beauties standing behind him?

Thinking of this, Gu Biyue furiously added her intent to the music notes, making the song even prettier. However, Ye Futian was still unmoved. Gradually, the song changed. Instead of being beautiful, it turned aggressive. This change seemed to be shapeless. The pulsing and aggressive notes rushed directly into Ye Futian’s mind. It cut apart his fantasies. Hua Jieyu’s image kept disappearing from his mind, forcefully wiped away.

Gu Biyue no longer looked like a fairy. Instead, she was a domineering goddess. She was brilliant and horrible. She forcefully entered Ye Futian’s mind to plant her image until he couldn’t get rid of her. She would force Ye Futian to submit before her.

In the fantasy, Ye Futian looked up at Gu Biyue in the air. She was as powerful as a goddess. Her music tried to make him surrender. In his mind, Hua Jieyu’s image gradually faded away as if being wiped. Only Gu Biyue’s image was allowed to stay.

Outside, the spectators’ feelings changed. They were also influenced by the song. However, Ye Futian’s clothes and black hair fluttered as if bearing horrible intent pressure.

Ye Futian’s eyes sharpened. Want to make me submit? Want to wipe away Jieyu’s image? He grew even more resolute. Walking forward, he arrived at an instrument created by music notes and said, “I must return a gift to you out of courtesy.”

Ye Futian played the guqin. His will entered the music notes as he strummed the strings. His music instantly accompanied the xiao. Everyone felt a powerful force at once. The two types of music notes collided in the air, creating a shapeless windstorm. The xiao was extremely violent. It wanted to wipe away everything in Ye Futian’s mind and plant Gu Biyue’s image.

The guqin was magnanimous. Like an emperor, it protected the image in his mind. His territory was like a painting. The terrifying guqin music seeped into the Witch’s ears. It wiped away the aggressive goddess, trying to make her bow down.

Ye Futian used his own enlightenment and understanding of the musical piece The World to make it perfect. A great artistic conception was born.

He’s fighting back. Everyone was shocked at this scene. Gu Biyue’s Witch Requiem couldn’t take Ye Futian down. Neither the fairy-like gentleness nor the aggressive goddess could destroy Ye Futian’s will. Now, he was fighting back.

Ye Futian’s aura changed instantly. An emperor-like power emanated from him. He seemed to have become a powerful king.

The guqin and xiao collided; the emperor and goddess clashed. Endless music notes fought crazily in that area as their auras grew stronger.

The Witch Requiem made the goddess become indomitable. Endless images of her appeared in Ye Futian’s mind.

The World was equally domineering. Right now, Ye Futian was like a true emperor. His musical piece’s will descended upon Gu Biyue to make her surrender.

Such powerful intent. Everyone stared at the terrifying storm of music. They were up neck-to-neck. Neither was willing to step back. Would this turn into a tie? However, Gu Biyue had said that if Ye Futian could survive one song, she would admit defeat. Their bet had been that if she lost, she would become his servant.

Ye Futian couldn’t do anything if she didn’t keep her word but there was an audience here. It would be embarrassing.

Just then, Gu Biyue’s xiao transformed into an endless river of notes that poured into Ye Futian’s mind. She used her intent to communicate with the music notes and asked, “Who is in your mind?”

With her body, aura, and the Witch Requiem, even the strongest person would surrender, let alone someone in a lower plane like Ye Futian. But he seemed to be protecting someone this entire time.

Ye Futian grinned. “Do you surrender?”

“Surrender?” Gu Biyue repeated. “I just can’t defeat you with my will.” She’d said that if Ye Futian would bear it, she would lose.

“Oh?” Ye Futian chuckled. “What if I tell you that I haven’t even tried yet?”

His words surprised Gu Biyue but then she smiled. “You’re so arrogant.” With that, the xiao returned and the Witch Requiem attacked again.

Ye Futian also smiled. He continued playing the guqin but his aura had changed again. Now, he was like an emperor. He instantly blasted away Gu Biyue’s image in his mind. At the same time, an undefeatable intent descended in Gu Biyue’s mind, forcefully cutting off her Witch Requiem. Her powerful spiritual power burst forth to restrict that will. Her xiao stopped and she gazed at Ye Futian. The emperor-like figure stopped playing and smiled. He stood as if only he existed in the world.

Everyone’s eyes were fixated on those two figures. This wasn’t a tie. Gu Biyue had lost. In this battle of will, the Witch Requiem had lost.

Liu Chenyu stared at Ye Futian’s figure. She thought of what Ye Wuchen had said. Now, it seemed that Ye Futian and Yu Sheng were definitely amazing and not below Ye Wuchen at all. They all specialized in different things.

Ye Futian could actually face the Witch Requiem and defeat Gu Biyue. Even more shocking, he was only in the Second-level Dharma Plane but his will was already so powerful. When he played the piece earlier, his aura was like an emperor. Someone like this wouldn’t follow others so easily.

Gu Biyue and Ji Zimo wanted Ye Futian to be their subordinate. No wonder he would fight back and make Gu Biyue his servant.

Ye Futian smiled at the dazed Gu Biyue. “You’re mine now.”

Chapter 196: Bear It or Not

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Gu Biyue was stunned a little. She looked at Ye Futian. She didn’t expect that she would lose the bet. From the beginning, she had been preparing this trap for Ye Futian to jump in so that he could be her subordinate. Unexpectedly, she was defeated. She didn’t think that the horrible intent contained in Ye Futian’s music could suppress her Witch Requiem. But soon, she recovered, and her eyes, looking at Ye Futian, turned bright again.

Ye Futian was only at Second Dharma Plane. If he could be so gifted, then so were Ye Wuchen and Yu Sheng. The trio definitely had the potential to be top young cultivators in Eastern Barren Territory.

The witch smiled charmingly. She looked at Ye Futian and said flirtatiously, “What do you want from your maid?”

Ye Futian had said, “Now, you’re mine.” How bold he was!

The surrounding people all gasped. The witch was very alluring at this moment. Their hearts were stirred by her deliberate bashfulness. Seeing the witch’s performance, Liu Chenyu turned to Ye Futian. Though Ye Futian defeated Gu Biyue, the witch had many vicious means and lived up to her name. Liu Chenyu was a great beauty too, but she was also enchanted a little bit when seeing Gu Biyue’s posture. This was because Gu Biyue blended her Witch Methods into every move she made, making her extremely attractive. No one could forget her. Even those top talents would be attracted by her means.

Ye Futian looked at the witch calmly. He admitted that she was very attractive. But trying to seduce him? It was impossible. He had experienced the Fox before.

“You are my maid. That’s why you are mine. Don’t over-interpret it,” Ye Futian responded indifferently.

Hearing his response, people were all astonished by his calmness. How can he be so calm facing the witch’s temptation? He must be pretending. Looking at Ye Futian’s calmness, many dared him in their minds to keep pretending.

Gu Biyue giggled and looked at Ye Futian with her beautiful eyes. “Do you really want me to serve you?”

“You don’t want to deny it, do you?” Ye Futian looked at Gu Biyue.

“Of course I don’t. It’s just…” The witch said with a smile, “I’m afraid you can’t bear it.”

“Can’t bear it?” Ye Futian looked at the witch and said, “Just do what you are supposed to do as a maid. Do not have any wild thoughts.”

Gu Biyue was speechless.

The people around them looked at Ye Futian with great admiration. He was really impressive.

“Okay.” Gu Biyue moved slightly to stand behind Ye Futian and quipped, “My lord, what are your wishes?”

Ye Futian nodded in satisfaction. She was really adaptable.

“Follow me,” said Ye Futian. He left this area and headed to the statues where he had been cultivating at previously. The witch followed beside him. Leng Feng and other strong cultivators who had arrived with her came up with cold faces.

How could Ye Futian dare to follow through? Gu Biyue just fulfilled her commitment but how could Ye Futian not know how to be modest? Was he really treating Gu Biyue as a maid?

Gu Biyue glanced at her group and smiled. Her eyes seemed to be telling people something. The group of people halted and looked at Gu Biyue confusedly. It would indeed be embarrassing not to fulfill the promise but so what? What qualified Ye Futian to let the top witch of the Witch Clan be his maid? Everyone would understand and wouldn’t reprimand him if he didn’t.

Lin Yueyao looked at Ye Futian’s back indignantly. This shameless guy enrolled another maid.

Liu Chenyu smiled at Ye Futian. This guy really had guts. However, he might not know that he would be in danger soon with this witch by his side.

Ye Futian came to those statues. Gu Biyue smiled gently at him and asked, “How did you do that? Why did the intent in your music suddenly strengthen? It seemed to slightly restrain my flute?”

“My shoulders are a little stiff after playing the music,” Ye Futian said. He sat onto the ground. Such an unprofessional maid wanted to dig out his secrets? She was thinking too much.

Gu Biyue blinked. His shoulders are a little stiff? What does that mean?

“Then let me massage your shoulders.” Gu Biyue suddenly smiled and stood behind Ye Futian.

The surrounding people were instantly stunned. Shameless guy! How could his shoulders be stiff after playing when he was at such a high plane? Looking at the fairy-like woman in a white dress, people could not imagine her massaging shoulders for others. However, Gu Biyue just smiled gently. Standing behind Ye Futian, she reached out her slender fingers and began to massage Ye Futian’s shoulders. People were overwhelmed at the sight of this scene.

Shameless! B*stard! Many people glared at Ye Futian in hatred.

Ji Zimo’s face became exceptionally complex too. Ye Futian could enjoy such a treatment?

“Comfortable?” Gu Biyue smiled gently.

“Not bad.” Ye Futian nodded and closed his eyes with enjoyment. Yu Sheng behind them was stunned by this scene too. Without Hua Jieyu here, Ye Futian was really bold.

Liu Chenyu walked over and was speechless when seeing Ye Futian’s satisfied face.

Ye Futian opened his eyes and smiled at Liu Chenyu, “Princess, may I help you?”

Seeing Ye Futian was so casual, Liu Chenyu had no idea how he could be so calm. “Aren’t you a servant?” Liu Chenyu asked with a smile.

“Can’t a servant have a maid?” Ye Futian smiled too. Since Ye Wuchen had told people that his arm was cut by Li Daoyun, he must have told Liu Chenyu the truth. She was just making fun of him.

“Of course you can. Just take care you don’t get tricked.” Liu Chenyu glanced at the witch behind Ye Futian. Gu Biyue was looking at her too. The two beauties looked into each other’s eyes. The atmosphere became a little weird.

After a short while, Liu Chenyu drew back her sight and looked at Ye Futian. This guy was enjoying himself now but had he ever thought about the consequence? The witch’s pursuers were strong enough killed him, let alone the Witch Clan.

Ye Futian was a little confused. Why did those people always think too much?

“Princess, what top powers are there in the Eastern Barren Territory?” Ye Futian suddenly asked. The relics here were enough for him to continue his cultivation for a period of time. Moreover, he could meet many people of top powers here. When everything here settled down, he would join one of those top powers and begin to solve the concerns brought by Luo Junlin.

It was the time for him to get familiar with everything.

“The Eastern Barren Territory is extremely vast. There are many top powers in the central region. My Liu Kingdom, her Witch Clan, Fuyun Sword Clan whose people you have encountered with before, as well as the Ji’s family which Ji Zimo belongs to are all top powers,” Liu Chenyu explained. Seeing the great talent of Ye Futian’s trio, she realized that it was not easy for Liu Kingdom to enroll them. However, she met them earlier than the other powers so she had some advantages.

Even if they chose the others, it was not a big deal. They could still be friends.

“What about the Royal Xuan Temple?” Ye Futian asked.

“It’s a powerful force but not at the uppermost level,” Liu Chenyu answered. “If you want to join a power, I think Eastern Barren College might be a good choice. The college is the force with the longest history in the Eastern Barren Territory. It has been passed down countless generations. The resources for cultivation there are probably the most outstanding in the whole Eastern Barren Territory. From this aspect, no other forces can be compared with it.” Liu Chenyu slowly introduced the other powers to Ye Futian.

“How is the Eastern Barren College when compared with Liu Kingdom?” Ye Futian asked curiously.

“They are different. The Liu Kingdom is a kingdom while the Eastern Barren College is a college. Colleges put more emphasis on the cultivation of its disciples. The teachers are all at the Noble Plane. It has cultivated a lot of very outstanding disciples,” Liu Chenyu answered him honestly.

Ye Futian nodded. The Liu Kingdom was a kingdom so it focused on the cultivation of the royalty.

“Of course I will be delighted if you come to Liu Kingdom.” Liu Chenyu smiled.

Ye Futian smiled. “Your highness, actually, it doesn’t matter if we join Liu Kingdom or not.”

“How?” Liu Chenyu looked at Ye Futian confusedly.

“If one of us is princess’s bridegroom, we don’t need to join the Liu Kingdom to get close to each other.” Ye Futian smirked at Liu Chenyu. The princess was stunned for a while. Then she rolled her eyes towards Ye Futian and left. She naturally knew what Ye Futian meant.

“Are you flirting with Liu Chenyu?” Gu Biyue asked behind him with a smile. She figured out now that Ye Futian’s group was not going to join the Liu Kingdom. They’d just met each other in advance. She thought the bridegroom Ye Futian mentioned was himself. Ye Futian ignored her and continued his cultivation.

More and more people gathered at the peak of Mirror Mountain. Li Daoqing of the Fuyun Sword Clan had been defeated twice. Mu Yunhe and Xiao Teng were defeated by someone at a lower level than them. The fates of the three people were all seized. Gu Biyue’s Witch Requiem was suppressed by the music of someone at a lower level. And then the witch became his maid to serve him. Such news would definitely cause a sensation.

After the news spread, an endless stream of people set foot on the top of the hill. All parties, even people of top powers, arrived. This place quickly became full of people. Although there were many relics on the hill, strong cultivators used to come here separately instead of converging here at the same time. This grand occasion was absolutely rare.

Gathering around the statues, many eyes fell on Ye Futian. They kept pointing and commenting. Ye Futian chose to ignore them. The witch Gu Biyue sat beside him. She was waiting for everything that would happen with some anticipation. She would like to see whether Ye Futian could bear it or not.
