Chapter 110: Showdown, Honest To Each Other
The year turned around and the weather became warmer.
In the Su family"s residence, Xie Yiyi looked out the window at the slowly dripping ice and frowned.
After entering the Su Residence, she was still very happy.
She had put behind her the blood and killings of the martial world, and did not have to worry about money. She did not have to think about anything and just played mahjong with Cui Yumian every day. At night, she "trained" her body with Su Wen and her life was rather comfortable.
However, after the brief moment of satisfaction, Xie Dajia"s orders were like a mountain pressing down on her head!
Should she activate the Mental Demon Charming Body?
Once she used it, Su Wen might listen to her every whim, but would he still be him?
After she married Su Wen, her thoughts had gradually changed.
But if she didn"t use it, how could she answer to Xie Dajia?
Xie Yiyi knew that her mother was never a soft-hearted person. Su Wen looked gentle, but he had a strong personality. Would there be a conflict between them?
Just as she was thinking, Su Wen walked into the room and closed the door gently.
Xie Yiyi blushed. "It"s broad daylight…"
"Isn"t daytime good?" Su Wen let out an evil smile.
"Then do you still want to close the windows?"
"You don"t have to. Closing the door is just a matter of convenience…"
With her charming body, Xie Yiyi looked even more alluring now.
Su Wen sat by the bed while Xie Yiyi walked towards him.
"I met a Daoist priest before the new year arrived. He claimed to be from the Taihao Palace," Su Wen casually remarked.
Xie Yiyi stopped in her tracks, and her face instantly turned pale!
Su Wen continued as though he didn"t notice, "He said that Xie Dajia was an alias for the Thousand Illusion Demoness Xie Bingrui. He also said that you were someone that she placed by my side in order to control me and use my father"s power."
Xie Yiyi bit her lips tightly. She could tell that Su Wen was about to put out all the cards.
But at that moment, Xie Yiyi felt a sense of relief.
Yes, there was no need to be conflicted.
There was no need to think anymore.
The worst case scenario was death.
Su Wen smiled and said, "Then I just wanted to ask, what method do you plan to use to control me? Is it a honey trap? I think I"ve already fallen for it."
Xie Yiyi was at a loss. Su Wen"s att.i.tude was unexpectedly good despite knowing the truth.
There was no anger, no fury, and no dissatisfaction.
"The Mental Demon Charming Body is a mystic technique of the Demon Sound Sect. It can only be used by people who are naturally charming. It can be activated during intimate entanglements. Once it succeeds, the person controlled will listen to the caster," Xie Yiyi said honestly.
"You sure are straightforward!" Su Wen laughed. "I thought you were going to deny it."
Xie Yiyi shook her head and said, "What"s there to deny? Since the people from Taihao Palace found you, my ident.i.ty can"t be hidden. Furthermore, we are husband and wife. Although it hasn"t been long, you are my only man. Since you already know, there"s no need to hide it."
"Then why haven"t you activated your Mental Demon Charming Body?" Su Wen asked softly.
Xie Yiyi sighed. "The reason is very simple. The more fond the casted is towards the caster, the higher the chance of success, However, the caster will be unable to activate the spell again once it fails. Only by spending more time with the caster will you have more confidence."
There was something else she did not mention, and that was that she could not make up her mind.
Su Wen looked at Xie Yiyi. After a while, he patted the edge of the bed and smiled. "Come over, let"s do it."
Xie Yiyi blushed again.
The spring breeze entered the room and gently ruffled the bedsheets. Her sweet voice was seductive and alluring.
Leave the cause and effect aside for the time being, and be honest with each other.
Xie Yiyi sat by the bed while Su Wen started to a.n.a.lyze the situation, "She asked you to disperse your cultivation?"
Xie Yiyi whispered, "She"s my mother after all. What should I do if I don"t listen to her?"
Su Wen said in disdain, "I"ve never listened to my father, except when he gave me money… Your mother is a fraud."
At this moment, Xie Yiyi had already confessed everything to Su Wen.
Su Wen also knew about Xie Yiyi"s background. In fact, she was quite famous in the martial world.
The Amorous Witch.
Although she had never shown her true face to anyone, as the new Holy Maiden of the Demonic Music Sect, she had quite a reputation.
Her charming eyes had been the trigger of many fights in the Martial World.
Of course, most of her actions were done under the instructions of Xie Dajia. In the end, Xie Dajia forced her to disperse her powers and marry Su Wen.
"Look at your mother, she treats you like a tool!" Su Wen complained.
Xie Yiyi shook her head and said, "That"s not the case. Mother has treated me extremely well. If it wasn"t for her, how would I have been able to settle down in the martial world? This appearance is a source of trouble! It"s just that people in the martial world often have no choice in what they have to do.
In the past few years, the orthodox sects have been prospering. Our Demonic Music Sect has been besieged by them one after another, and our situation has become even more difficult. Even my mother has been forced into a corner."
Su Wen knocked on the edge of the bed and asked, "Then why didn"t you activate your Mental Demon Charming Body just now?"
Xie Yiyi remained silent.
She did not know why, but she knew that this might be her last chance!
But she still chose not to do anything.
"What does your mother want me to do?"
"I don"t know," said Xie Yiyi honestly. "I don"t know what my mother is thinking either."
"How about this? You think of a way to tell her that you have me under control. Ask her what her motive is."
Xie Yiyi fell silent.
She did not say anything. Just like how she was unwilling to use her Mental Demon Charming Body on Su Wen, she also did not want to help Su Wen scheme against her family.
Su Wen saw through her worries and said with a smile, "Why, are you worried that I"ll hurt your mother? Don"t worry, I"m just looking to see if I can help. After all, she"s my mother-in-law, isn"t she? How can there be so many black and white matters in this world?
It"s not like there are only two paths. Whether it"s the righteous sects or the Demonic Music Sect, there"s no difference to me. As long as your mother doesn"t want to harm the people of the Great Zhou, kill my entire family, or rebel against the Royal Court, there"s nothing wrong with helping her."
Xie Yiyi looked at Su Wen. She was unsure if Su Wen was telling the truth.
After spending so much time with Su Wen, she felt that this man was even more unpredictable.
"If you don"t believe me, who else can you trust?" Su Wen looked into her eyes and said, "You and I can be considered the closest people to each other. If you don"t believe me, you can only choose between your mother and me to help. On the other hand, if you choose to believe me, I can help you, and help your mother as well. If you want the best of both worlds, this is your only option."
Xie Yiyi was moved. "Alright! I"ll inform her that you"ve been controlled by me!"
She still chose to believe Su Wen. Just like what Su Wen said, the person closest to her now was Su Wen. No matter what, the two of them were already husband and wife.
Just as the two of them came to an agreement, Ning Shuang knocked on the door.
"Young Master, Yan Luoying is here. She wants to see you!"
"Eh?"
Su Wen frowned. After that night"s banquet, the two of them never met again.
He wondered what the fellow was here for this time!
