Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know

Chapter 5.1: Praise The Lord

Wen Renhe was a merciless person and in the book he was described as a person indifferent to the world. He was only obedient to Baili Qingmiao, and for her he would pluck the stars and the moon from the sky. Such a personality attracted countless fans to him, so whenever there was a scene where he was alone with Baili Qingmiao, the readers would be enthralled and would fangirl.

One of the most classic scenes was the wedding night of He Wenchao and the leader of Ziling Pavilion. Baili Qingmiao, who was seriously injured and locked up, was accompanied by Wen Renhe. She looked up at the star-studded sky and at the Cowherd and Vega, separated by the Milky Way, saying, “Why would they separate such a good pair of lovers?”

As she spoke, a tear streaked across her pale face. She was once a girl with clear eyes and full of smiles but that innocence had long disappeared. Although cultivators hardly grew older physically after they built their Qi Foundation, their mentality would be more mature.Even though she looked 18 years old, Baili Qingmiao’s mind was already very old.

Hearing this, Wen Renhe raised his hand, covered Baili Qingmiao’s eyes and said, “Before I become a god, don’t look at the stars.”

“Why?” Baili Qingmiao didn’t understand.

“According to legends, after a cultivator becomes a god, they can change the galaxy and universe at will. I will bring the Vega star from the other end of the Milky Way.”

Baili Qingmiao was amused by him, so she nodded and replied, “Then, I won’t look at the sky again until you become a god.”

Ren Wenhe died before he could become a god, but he kept his promise to Baili Qingmiao.

Baili Qingmiao was able to find her divinity, relying on the arrangements made by Wen Renhe while he was alive. When she merged with her divinity, the heaven and the earth trembled, the stars changed, and the Cowherd and Vega would be drawn close together. The power unleashed by the change of the star constellation instantly turned a continent into an ocean.

The power of the innate goddess was just so immense. When the goddess of disaster returned to her throne, the World was in chaos.

When the female lead returned to her senses and saw that she had destroyed a continent, she remembered her elder martial brother’s daily teachings. In the previous life she didn’t want to become a goddess and disturb the stars, so she gave up her divinity.

However the Cowherd and Vega did not return to their original positions and stayed together, just like a man and a woman who finally walked together.

With regard to this plot, readers all talked crazily about how Ren Wenhe loved the female lead even after his death, saying that if he wanted to spoil someone, he would really consider all aspects, and would not let the other side suffer any grievance. Even if he had died, he still accompanied her to her last moment.

Wen Renhe didn’t feel anything when he read that plot and the readers’ comments, because he knew how unaffectionate he was.

Wen Renhe’s loyal subordinates in Xuanyuan Sect were countless and he had never taken it to heart. He knew that this loyalty was based on his ability to crush people. If he was replaced by another powerful person, these people would also be loyal to them. This “loyalty” was not directed toward Wen Renhe, but toward the power of a Mahayana stage cultivator.

As for family relationships, as soon as he was enlightened, he had already let go. Three hundred years had already passed, and there was no one close to him in this world.

His feelings for Baili Qingmiao were just the threads of heaven’s karma.

He was alone and he would never have any attachment to the world neither now nor after his death.

Only after reading the book did he have a different feeling for Yin Hanjiang.

He saved Yin Hanjiang’s life, nurtured him, and taught him reason. After his death, avenging him and fulfilling his last wish was only natural for Yin Hanjiang. Even if he was torn to pieces, he felt it was reasonable for Wen Renhe’s sake.

Unluckily, Yin Hanjiang chose that kind of tragic way to show his “loyalty” to Wen Renhe. When Wen Renhe read the book, he did not equate Yin Hanjiang with Ghost Face at first. When the truth was revealed and the female lead saw the ghost mask wrapped in Yin Hanjiang’s package, it shocked not only Baili Qingmiao, but also Wen Renhe, who was reading the book.

In this section of the book, there was a woman who had a magic weapon that allowed her to change her appearance without being discovered. She turned into Baili Qingmiao in order to seduce He Wenchao and was caught redhanded by Yin Hanjiang. Without the halo of the female lead, she was naturally refined into a lamp. Yin Hanjiang took off his ghost mask, went to the tomb of his Lord and lit the everlasting lamp. He walked inside the tomb, hugged the dark robe with a dark golden pattern, and closed his eyes happily and peacefully.

That paragraph was shocking. It was as if Yin Hanjiang had brought the clothes to smell that person’s scent before he self-exploded.

Unexpectedly, the tracking device that Yin Hanjiang had put on the female lead lit up at this moment, and he saw that the female lead was alive.

Yin Hanjiang stared at the picture that emerged in the air, tilted his head and rubbed it against Wen Renhe’s clothes. He then folded them carefully and placed them smoothly on the tomb.

He walked out of the tomb quietly and crushed the everlasting lamp directly without protecting his palm with Qi. With a wave of his long arm, the glass lamp collided with the marble floor beside him. The lamp broke, and the oil slowly spilled on the ground.

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!” Yin Hanjiang looked at his burned palm and suddenly smiled and laughed. He covered his mouth, his voice painful and oppressive, as if he was using all his strength to restrain his feelings.

He lowered his head deeply until the stars appeared in the sky. At the darkest moment before dawn, Yan Hanjiang raised his head, picked up the ghost mask and put it on his face. Behind the mask, he made a sound of gnashing his teeth. “Baili Qingmiao.”

The readers of this scene felt creepy, but they had this unspeakable feeling that he was the hidden protagonist of the story.

He could accept that Yin Hanjiang died for him, but he could not understand why he went crazy because of him.

From extreme calmness to extreme madness, what kind of pain did one have to experience?

Yin Hanjiang’s face was rubbing against his robe, as if he was rubbing against his heart. When his eyes shifted from the book to Yin Hanjiang, for the first time he felt that what he had done for this subordinate was not enough to justify such a sincere response, so he wanted to be better to him.

Shu Yanyan no longer planned to suck He Wenchao into a dry corpse, but used her secret methods to help He Wenchao improve his cultivation, so it was no longer necessary to use the snow flame for him, but only to treat Yin Hanjiang.

Being the sect leader of Xuanyuan Demonic Sect for many years, he had collected a lot of goods over the years. With a turn of his sleeve, he gave Baili Qingmiao some materials, pills and magic weapons suitable for her realm, as well as a fire feather cloak to withstand the cold in the ice field of Wanli and prevent the female lead from freezing to death.

“This… It’s not appropriate! ” Baili Qingmiao looked at the items that were quickly piled up into a hill, blushed and waved her hands to refuse.

Wen Renhe also gave her a simple hairpin, which was also a magic weapon that could store things, so she could put the things he gave her inside. He didn’t give Baili Qingmiao a chance to refuse and directly left with Yin Hanjiang.

Baili Qingmiao, with a hairpin in her hands, looked at the place where they had disappeared. After shaking her head for a while, she stamped her foot and exclaimed, “Senior Brother, Miss Shu!”

She quickly collected the treasures, stuffed the jade hairpin into her sleeve and slowly flew to the sect.

The disciples of Shangqing Sect who went down the mountain had a talisman for calling for help. All disciples of Shangqing Sect in the vicinity would come to help. In fact, Baili Qingmiao could ask for help in this way, but it was a life-saving talisman that could only be used in life-threatening situations, so it couldn’t be used at will. If she really used this talisman and alarmed nearby members of the sect and it wasn’t an emergency, it would only make the elder martial brothers and sisters dissatisfied. Only after reaching Nascent Soul stage could they send special messages. Baili Qingmiao hadn’t reached this stage yet, so she could only climb the mountain.

On the other side, Shu Yanyan was sleeping flushed on the thatched bed, revealing a fragrant shoulder. He Wenchao, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, was stunned, then he pulled the simple quilt to cover her, which awakened Shu Yanyan.

Shu Yanyan opened her eyes and blushed at the sight of He Wenchao. She grabbed her clothes, wrapped herself up casually and pinched her hands nervously before she said softly, “Master He doesn’t have to worry about it, I know you and Miss Baili are in love, it was just an accident. At this time, I was injured, and Master He was only trying to help me heal.”

He Wenchao was clear in his heart. He looked at Shu Yanyan with a trace of pity.

“I’ll buy you a house. It’s too shabby to live here,” He Wenchao said dryly.

Shu Yanyan scolded two smelly men in her heart and shook her head with a light smile on her face. “Is Master He regarding me as a concubine or a person who sells her body? If I wanted to sell myself for money, why wait until now?”

He Wenchao froze again.
