Lin Xueyan and Bai Xiaoxiao returned, soaring on a greatly enlarged Azure Cloud Ancient Sword.
Upon seeing Ye Yun on the mountain, they both leaped down eagerly.
Bai Xiaoxiao, in particular, threw herself directly into her master's embrace. Her boneless, delicate body felt exquisite to the touch, but the downward force…
"Ow, ow, ow, my back, take it easy, it’s about to break!"
Bai Xiaoxiao, however, refused to let go. Holding her master, she wished she could become one with him.
"You're finally back, we were so worried about you during this time!"
They knew about their master going to the demon realm. Venturing into the demon stronghold was naturally something they were extremely worried about.
Now that their master had returned safely, the heavy stone in their hearts finally lifted.
Ye Yun smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, my journey was very smooth, and the demon realm's affairs have been completely resolved!"
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded in his arms. Then, she noticed Chen Feng beside them and immediately became alert, asking,
"Uh… who is this guy?"
Despite her utter reliance on Ye Yun, she remained extremely indifferent to other men.
Hearing her, Ye Yun did not explain, nor did he need to.
"It's him!"
Lin Xueyan, who had just returned, saw the figure lying on the ground. Her face, previously full of smiles, instantly turned grim.
"Chen Feng… it's this guy. Back in the clan, this guy killed…"
Lin Xueyan didn't finish, but from her heavy tone, one could infer a great deal.
The others instantly understood, and the joyous atmosphere froze.
Ye Yun looked at Lin Xueyan and said, "Not long ago, I annihilated the Nine Nether Immortal Palace. As for the culprit, Chen Feng, I've brought him back for you specifically."
"How you deal with him, or whether you seek revenge, is entirely up to you."
With that, he casually woke Chen Feng up. The moment consciousness returned, Chen Feng instinctively cried out,
"Elder Ye, don't kill me! Please don't kill me!"
But when he looked up, the first thing he saw was a face that he had once yearned for, but now filled him with extreme dread.
"Lin… Lin Xueyan? You, you, you! What do you want to do?"
At this moment, Lin Xueyan stood before him, looking down at him with a cold expression.
"What do I want to do? Naturally, I want to avenge myself. The one thousand three hundred and twenty-one lives of the Lin family must be repaid with your life."
She clutched the Azure Cloud Ancient Sword. Chen Feng was terrified, trembling like a sieve.
For a moment, Chen Feng abandoned all dignity, kneeling and kowtowing to Lin Xueyan like he was pounding garlic.
"What happened before was indeed my fault, but I know I was wrong. I beg your boundless mercy, spare my life!"
"As long as you don't kill me, I'll do anything. Even if I have to be your ox or horse forever, be your slave, just please don't kill me!"
"I'm still so young, I don't want to die yet…"
In order to save his life, he was willing to say anything. But the more he acted like this, the more it ignited Lin Xueyan's inner rage.
Her father, mother, and over a thousand members of the Lin family had died at the hands of such a coward. It was, it was simply…
She gritted her teeth and said, "Back then, how many people from the Lin family knelt before you like this, begging you? Did you think about sparing them then?"
As her voice fell, Lin Xueyan was already overcome with fury.
She swung her sword down, severing Chen Feng's left arm. Accompanied by his pig-like screams, blood gushed out.
"My… my arm!"
"This sword is for my mother!"
Immediately after, she swung again. Chen Feng screamed again as his right hand was also severed.
"This sword is for my father!"
With both arms gone, Chen Feng writhed on the ground in agony, like a pair of chopsticks. But soon, he couldn't even roll around.
As Lin Xueyan swung her sword again, this time his legs were gone.
"This sword is for the people of the Lin family you murdered!"
Lin Xueyan's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, but she still tightly gripped the hilt, gazing coldly at Chen Feng, who wished he were dead.
Having lost his hands and feet, Chen Feng could only lie on the ground and wail, filled with regret for the evil thought that had crossed his mind at the beginning…
"This last sword is for myself."
With the final declaration, the Azure Cloud Ancient Sword descended. Chen Feng's head was severed from his body, and Qingyun Peak once again fell silent…
At this point, Lin Xueyan still stared at his corpse, panting softly, her emotions seemingly in turmoil.
The others, witnessing this bloody scene, felt nothing amiss. If it were them, and their loved ones were killed by such a person, not to mention dismemberment, killing him would be the greatest mercy.
Ye Yun said in surprise, "You killed him just like that? Didn't you plan to take him back and torture him slowly to death?"
He recalled that last time at the Black Demon Sect, Lin Xueyan had exchanged many intimate conversations with those fellows.
Lin Xueyan looked at the corpse and shook her head, "Even if he were cut into a thousand pieces, my family members wouldn't come back. Your disciple doesn't want to waste any more energy on a coward."
"Since the blood feud is avenged, let it all end here…"
Hearing this, Ye Yun nodded, realizing that the naive girl from not long ago had indeed grown.
He reached out and pulled her into his embrace, stroking her head and smiling, "It's best that you can think this way. From now on, enjoy your wonderful future."
Lin Xueyan, nestled in his arms, buried her face in his chest and asked,
"Will you… always be by my side?"
"What are you thinking? Of course, I'll always be by your side, until you get tired of me."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xueyan's developing chest pressed tightly against him. She then looked up at him and smiled.
"I'll never get tired of you, because you are the one my disciple loves the most!"
She smiled, her smile so beautiful.
The scene was incredibly picturesque. The others looked on with envy, while only the rather mood-ruining Chen Feng on the ground had a rigid and cold expression.
If he had any spirit left, he might have jumped up and yelled,
"Can you please stop showing affection in front of my corpse?"
After some time, the bloodstains and scattered remains left by Lin Xueyan were cleaned up.
Even the mood of the women had returned to the joy of their master's return.
Ye Yun looked at Lin Xueyan and asked with some curiosity,
"Earlier, I heard Lingyi say that you and Xiaoxiao went to make some very special clothes. What kind of clothes were they?"
Mentioning this, Lin Xueyan was the first to step forward, saying with a smile,
"Ah, those are all done. Originally, I was just about to try them on!"
Then, she excitedly handed out the finished garments one by one to Chen Lingxin, Chen Lingyi, and Xiao Xue.
Honestly, the moment Ye Yun saw the color scheme, he had a vague premonition of a certain type of clothing…
