Becoming Invincible By Marrying The Ultimate Villainess - Chapter 63 - Chapter 63 – The Deal with the Emo Demon Lord — The World-Ending Lotus in Hand!

First Floor of the Sacrificial Path Tower, beneath the Tree of Life.

Cang Yue sat cross-legged, wearing a black magic-patterned palace gown. The light of the moon fell on her exquisitely beautiful face, as if sculpted from ice, enhancing her already otherworldly beauty. The teardrop-shaped mole beneath her eye added a touch of fateful fragility to her appearance, further heightening her air of mystery.

“Senior.”

“Here we meet again.”

Ning Ye looked at Cang Yue with a calm expression, greeting her without much change in his demeanor.

“Where is my little disciple?”

Cang Yue glanced at Ning Ye who had come alone and couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised.

“Su Su was captured.”

Ning Ye responded without showing any sadness or joy in his face.

“What?!”

Upon hearing this, Cang Yue’s face suddenly changed. A chilling pressure immediately enveloped Ning Ye, and in an instant, she stood up, her voice cold as she berated him: “Are you that useless?”

“You couldn’t even protect one person?”

Silence.

Ning Ye had no words to respond.

Although Cang Yue’s words were harsh, he knew that this time, it was indeed his fault. He had failed to consider all angles and hadn’t realized that Mu Lingxi had a backup plan. She even had a secret sister.

“Enough!”

“What kind of people are they?”

Cang Yue waved her hand dismissively, not wanting to dwell on it.

“Overheaven, Yin Yang Sect.”

Ning Ye answered, his eyes cold with murderous intent.

“Overheaven?”
“Yin Yang Sect?”
“Never heard of them!”
“Are they very powerful?”

Cang Yue crossed her arms, looking utterly uninterested as she asked.

“Senior, you’ve never heard of them?”

Ning Ye furrowed his brows, surprised at her reaction. He knew that Overheaven originated from the North Border beyond the Abyssal Wall, and Cang Yue, as the Demon Lord, should have known about it well. But the fact that she hadn’t heard of it meant that Overheaven must have formed after Cang Yue had buried herself.

“What’s wrong?”
“Does this seat need to have heard of them?”

Cang Yue coldly responded.

“No need!”

Ning Ye shook his head.

“Then, tell me what you plan to do next.”

Cang Yue continued, her tone still stern.

Su Su was the only lifeline and hope at this moment.

It would be impossible to say that she was not anxious at the moment.

However, her injuries were too severe, and she had no choice but to rely on the Tree of Life to suppress her wounds. Thus, she could not leave the Sacrificial Path Tower. Right now, the only person she could rely on was Ning Ye.

“Trade!”
“Senior, you want lifespan, right?”
“I can trade you my lifespan!”

Ning Ye stared intently into Cang Yue’s eyes.

If he were going to break into the Yin Yang Sect next, he needed a trump card—something that could kill anything in his path.

“Good!”
“As long as you’re ready for this, it’s fine!”

Cang Yue nodded. She had known this day would come sooner or later.

After thinking for a moment, she parted her lips and spoke: “I need a thousand years of lifespan, and in return, I can leave the Sacrificial Path Tower for one day.”

“During that day, I will help you kill all your enemies!”

“How about it?”

A thousand years?

Ning Ye was taken aback, and he couldn’t help but smile bitterly and shake his head as he responded: “Senior.”

“Do I look like someone who has a thousand years of lifespan?”

Hmm?

Cang Yue furrowed her slender brows, her beautiful eyes scanning Ning Ye up and down before shaking her head and saying, “I can’t see clearly.”

“I cannot discern your cultivation level, nor do I know how much lifespan you have.”

“You have too many secrets.”

Heh.

Ning Ye smiled lightly upon hearing this.

It made sense that Cang Yue couldn’t see through him, given that he had the Divine Concealment Stone.

But, on the other hand, this was also a bit strange.

In general, the higher a cultivator’s level, the longer their lifespan. It was a common understanding and a rule.

Yet Ning Ye didn’t follow this rule.

Because the higher his cultivation, the longer his lifespan did not increase.

He suspected it was because he had bound the Reversal Moon Heavenly Blade, and his lifespan could only grow through devouring others’ life forces!

So, he certainly didn’t have a thousand years of lifespan to trade with Cang Yue.

“How much lifespan do you have?”

Cang Yue asked.

“Three hundred and five years.”

Ning Ye answered sincerely.

Upon hearing this, Cang Yue was silent for a moment before speaking, “Fine.”

“You give me one hundred years of your lifespan.”

“I will help you destroy that so-called Yin Yang Sect!”

Hoo!

Ning Ye took a deep breath, not hesitating for a second before nodding and responding simply, “Alright.”

Heh!

Looking at Ning Ye, who was so decisive, Cang Yue couldn’t help but laugh and say, “You little guy, you’re so straightforward!”

“I ask for a hundred years of your lifespan, and you don’t even blink an eye!”

“It seems you really care about my little disciple!”

Let’s begin.

Ning Ye didn’t feel like talking further. He simply stepped forward, standing before Cang Yue and slowly closed his eyes.

Exchanging a hundred years of lifespan for a trump card seemed like a loss, but in reality, it wasn’t!

Because he had a feeling that this time, when he infiltrated the Yin Yang Sect, the lifespan he would gain would far exceed one hundred years!

So, he had no reservations about this deal in his heart.

“Suit yourself.”

Cang Yue chuckled as she glanced at Ning Ye, then stretched out her long, delicate hand and gently tapped his forehead.

[Ding! System prompt: The host’s lifespan is rapidly decreasing.]
[Ding! System prompt: The host’s lifespan has decreased by ten years.]
[Ding! System prompt: The host’s lifespan has decreased by twenty years.]
…
[Ding! System prompt: The host’s lifespan has decreased by one hundred years.]

When the final system prompt sounded, Cang Yue withdrew her finger, and her stunningly beautiful face was now filled with a look of satisfaction.

Ugh!

Ning Ye groaned softly, his face turning pale. The feeling of exhaustion surged from the depths of his soul, making him stagger and fall to the ground with a thud.

As for Cang Yue, the light of life in her eyes had grown threefold brighter, and her beautiful face looked more relaxed. Even her aura had become stronger.

“Little guy, are you curious as to why I needed your lifespan to help you?”

Cang Yue’s lips curled into a faint smile, and her eyes were filled with amusement as she looked at Ning Ye.

“Mm.”

Ning Ye nodded.

If lifespan could help Cang Yue recover from her injuries, then it was clear that Cang Yue wouldn’t have needed to bury herself a millennium ago.

So, he was indeed curious as to why Cang Yue was so fixated on lifespan now.

Heh!

Cang Yue smiled slightly, then clasped her hands behind her back and said, “The only thing that can heal me is Su Su’s true blood.”

“But because of the cultivation method I follow, to restore my power… I still need a lot of life force!”

“Understand now?”

Mm!

Ning Ye nodded.

Healing her injuries didn’t mean restoring her strength.

At present, Cang Yue’s strength was likely less than one-thousandth of her peak, so her desperate desire to regain her power was understandable.

After all, for someone of Cang Yue’s stature, power was what made her the Demon Lord. Without power, she was nothing.

“Let’s see.”

“Now, let me help you with whatever I can!”

Cang Yue sat back down under the ancient tree of life and slowly closed her eyes.

Now, though Ning Ye’s hundred years of lifespan was barely a drop in the ocean for her, it still restored a little bit of her power.

And that small amount of power was enough to allow her to open the first layer of the demon palace in her sea of consciousness and retrieve a weapon she had created to give to Ning Ye.

A moment later, Cang Yue opened her eyes and extended her jade-like hand.

Clang!

As light flashed, a stunningly beautiful black lotus appeared in her palm.

“Here!”

“This should be enough for you!”

Cang Yue spoke indifferently as she handed it to Ning Ye.

“What is this?”

Ning Ye looked at the black lotus in Cang Yue’s hand with curiosity, furrowing his brows. Honestly, he didn’t sense any powerful force within it.

“Hmm…”

“It’s called the Invincible World-Ending Lotus!”

Cang Yue smiled faintly, as though reminiscing.

“Eh… What a cheesy name!”

Ning Ye scratched his head awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed for the first time.

Cang Yue seemed to see right through Ning Ye’s thoughts, and she shot him a sharp glare. Baring her teeth, she scolded fiercely, “Don’t mock its name!”

“I made it when I was fourteen!”

“It’s a very powerful thing!”

How powerful?

Ning Ye looked at her curiously.

“Mm….”

Cang Yue seemed to recall something amusing, and a playful smile appeared on her lips. Her red lips parted as she spoke in a tone full of mockery: “Below the Divine Dao realm…”

“Anyone who encounters it will die!”
