"Chang Ping, you bastard!" Shen Xiu, unusually courageous, confronted Chang Ping directly. She glared at him with angry phoenix eyes and said, "Before you bullied me, I, Shen Xiu, was a virgin! Besides, don't you know whether I'm a virgin or not?"
Chang Ping was too despicable; he actually doubted her! What did he take her for? A prostitute whose lips had been tasted by thousands?
Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!
"If you didn't sleep with Gui Sha, why would he give you the cultivation technique? There must be something sordid between you two!" Chang Ping, realizing he was in the wrong, released Shen Xiu's smooth, white swan neck and snorted.
He sat on the creaking, dilapidated bed, staring at the coughing Shen Xiu, waiting for her explanation.
Shen Xiu rubbed her jade-like neck, pouting her rose-red lips, her eyes brimming with tears as she glared at Chang Ping.
What a barbaric and rude fellow! He had no sense of tenderness whatsoever. She would never speak to him again!
After her throat felt better, Shen Xiu explained, "I don't know what happened, but when Gui Sha first met me, we hit it off immediately, and he even asked about my mother. When he learned that she had died in sorrow, Gui Sha's face showed grief."
"Then, he gave me the 'Bloodthirsty Demon Art,' saying that as long as I practiced this technique, I would definitely become a Black Gold Demon Spirit Master. He also wanted to take me as his disciple and invited me to study at the Dark Guild headquarters. However, I refused. The people in the Dark Guild are all bad people!"
Since Chang Ping knew about her and Gui Sha's affair, he must also know that the Sacred Family and the Dark Guild were colluding, so she didn't hide anything and told him everything.
If she kept anything to herself and Chang Ping found out, she would definitely get a beating.
"You knew about his evil technique and still accepted it?" Chang Ping glared at her, his expression softening slightly.
If he guessed correctly, Shen Xiu was probably not the daughter of the former head of the Sacred Family, but rather the offspring of Gui Sha.
He just didn't know whether Shen Xiu's mother had cheated on her, or whether she and Gui Sha were originally a couple, separated by the old head of the Sacred Family.
However, these were just his wild guesses. To find out the truth, he had to confront Gui Sha and make him tell the truth.
"If I remember correctly, Gui Sha is a peak Black Gold Demon Spirit Master. He possesses a magical artifact bestowed by the Demon Lord, capable of unleashing legendary power. I'm no match for him now," Chang Ping thought to himself.
Although he had wronged Shen Xiu, he wasn't going to apologize.
Apologizing to such a vicious woman who devoured hearts would be a betrayal of those innocent victims.
"You are not allowed to cultivate the evil arts Gui Sha gave you! Do you hear me?" Chang Ping commanded firmly.
Mind your own business! You're not her husband!
Shen Xiu retorted silently in her heart. She only dared to argue in her mind; if she dared to say it openly, she was sure Chang Ping would give her a severe beating.
However, to be honest, her relationship with Chang Ping was currently purely based on mutual exploitation. Once the poison in her body was neutralized, she would leave him without hesitation.
Shen Xiu shrugged, looking helpless, and said, "Even if I wanted to cultivate it, I couldn't now. The Bloodthirsty Demon Art is a very strange technique. If a woman wants to cultivate it, she must remain a virgin and can only drink the heart blood of a young boy. The opposite applies to men."
"You mean, if a man wants to cultivate this technique, he must remain a virgin and drink the heart blood of a virgin?" Chang Ping raised his eyebrows, having had a very deep conversation with Shen Xiu; he couldn't cultivate it now.
"Not at all," Shen Xiu shook her head, "If a man wants to cultivate the Bloodthirsty Demon Art, he must not be a virgin, and he must drink the heart blood of a non-virgin."
"What the hell?! Is the difference that big? This is gender discrimination!" Chang Ping didn't know what to say.
Although he met the conditions for cultivation, Chang Ping didn't intend to cultivate this evil technique.
It felt like being a vampire, making him feel disgusted.
No, he no longer had a heart.
"Alright, let's not waste any more time. We need to get going to avoid any unforeseen problems later!" Chang Ping took out a universal mask from his small spatial ring, disguising himself as Yu'er.
Shen Xiu handed him a maid's dress she had prepared beforehand, muttering under her breath, "If you hadn't been wasting time, we would have been at the Sacred Family by now."
"What are you muttering about?" Chang Ping glared at her.
"Nothing!" Shen Xiu quickly shut up.
Chang Ping wrapped strips of cloth he had somehow acquired around his chest, tied them up, and changed into the maid's dress.
Just as Shen Xiu thought they were about to leave, Chang Ping suddenly spoke.
"Lie down on the table!"

Shen Xiu's body trembled: "What?"
"Yes!"
...
After the smooth sailing cannon, the two rode in a carriage all the way to the Sacred Family.
Inside the carriage, Shen Xiu, her face flushed, sat awkwardly opposite Chang Ping, her beautiful legs crossed, worried that Chang Ping might do something to her in the carriage.
To her surprise, Chang Ping did not make any inappropriate moves until the carriage stopped in front of the Sacred Family's gate.
Shen Xiu felt a little disappointed.
The two quickly got out of the carriage.
With Shen Xiu leading the way, their journey was very smooth.
After passing through a fork in the road, they arrived at Shen Xiu's courtyard, and the two breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as the two were about to turn, someone suddenly came from the other side.
The two quickened their pace.
"Stop! Who are you?" the person shouted sharply, taking three steps at a time to catch up.
Chang Ping didn't know if it was just his imagination, but the voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Shen Xiu turned around and shielded Chang Ping, who was a head taller than her, behind her.
Chang Ping extended his thick, carrot-like index finger, grinning mischievously as he poked Shen Xiu's supple waist.
"Behave yourself!" Shen Xiu flinched, turning to glare at him, giving him a light, annoyed scolding.
Chang Ping shrugged.
What's the big deal! If he's discovered, he'll just kill the person.
He's strong enough to wipe out a Black Gold One-Star Demon Spirit Master anyway.
"Shen Xiu? What are you doing wandering around in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" The mysterious man, carrying a lantern, looked at the two with suspicion.
How dare he address the eldest daughter of the Sacred Family by her full name? Who is this person?
Chang Ping withdrew his gaze from Shen Xiu's alluring buttocks and turned his head to look.
"Holy crap?!" Upon seeing the face, Chang Ping was instantly shocked.
It was that bastard Shen Fei!
"What I do is none of your business." Shen Xiu crossed her arms, her face colder than the moonlight.
Shen Fei snorted. A lowly concubine's daughter dared to speak to him like that! How insolent!
However, considering that Shen Xiu was a generation older than him, Shen Fei didn't react.
"Oh~ Is this Aunt's personal maid? She's so pretty! Hehehe." Shen Fei's eyes lit up when he saw "Yu'er" hiding behind Shen Xiu.
There were actually maids in the manor who hadn't been touched by him.
Shen Fei had obsessive-compulsive disorder; he absolutely wouldn't allow any maids in the manor to be completely unharmed.
