The Truth

"Ziman, what happened?" Xiao Yi asked hurriedly.

"It's nothing. Maybe everything that happened today made me feel a little scared." Yu Ziman didn't look at Xiao Yi and tried to speak as calmly as possible. Then she stopped crying and took out a paper towel to wipe her tears. She forced out a smile and said to Xiao Yi, "I didn't expect everything in the legend to be real. And you are such a capable person. No wonder you are so outstanding."

Yu Ziman pretended to be relaxed, shrugged her shoulders, and said, "Alas, think about it. I used to be too naive. I worshiped you and liked you all the time. It turns out that we are from two different worlds."

"Ziman!" Xiao Yi didn't expect that Yu Ziman would say that.

Yu Ziman continued to say, "I didn't know the truth and foolishly liked you before. I even made trouble for you by confessing to you. Now, since I have known your identity, I don't want to think about it anymore. I hope that I can be lucky enough to be friends with you."

"Be friends?" Xiao Yi felt that the situation was a little out of control.

"That's right. My life as a commoner may be very far from yours. My family has been urging me to get married for a long time, and I have met a decent boy. If I think it right, I can try to make friends with him, so that my family can pay less attention to me." Yu Ziman turned her eyes. Although she tried hard to suppress her emotions, she still couldn't hide the trembling in her voice.

What Yu Ziman said was naturally a lie. It didn't matter who he was, what mattered was that she didn't know it, and was in the dark all the time. Since she loved him so humbly and was not cared about, then she might as well leave. As the saying goes, it's better to have a short pain than a long pain.

However, as soon as she finished her words, Xiao Yi excitedly stood up and strode to Yu Ziman. He held her shoulder and said loudly, "Ziman, you can't, you can't give yourself to others."

Yu Ziman had never expected that Xiao Yi, who had always been calm, would be so excited when he heard her words.

After her heart jumped wildly, Yu Ziman was even more disappointed. She could no longer hold back her tears and burst out. Eventually, she raised her resentful eyes and looked at Xiao Yi. Disappointedly, she said, "Who should I give myself to? Who do you want me to give myself to? I thought that an immortal like you didn't care about me at all. It turns out that you at least care about my body."

Tears streamed down Yu Ziman's face as she spoke. There was sadness, disappointment, resentment, and pain on her face.

When Xiao Yi saw Yu Ziman like this, he sighed deeply. He didn't expect Yu Ziman to be so extreme. This seemed to be very different from the carefree person in his impression. Could love make people change so quickly?

Xiao Yi also knew that if he didn't tell the truth now, Yu Ziman would hate him to the core.

It didn't matter whether she hated him or not. The most important thing was that she couldn't lose her virginity when she was angry. In that case, it would be too late to regret.

Everything he'd done before had only one purpose, and that was to rescue Ziman and prevent her from awakening from the bloodline of the devil. Who would've thought that she'd end up in pain in the end?

Ziman, who used to be so narcissistic, lovely, free and at ease, now became thin and full of grievances, which was not what he wanted to see.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi could not help but loosen his grip on her shoulders and sat back down. He took a deep breath and finally looked directly at Yu Ziman. He said seriously, "Ziman, you misunderstood me."

"Is that so?" Yu Ziman crashed into the floor with large drops of tears, but she still stubbornly turned her head around.

"Ziman, I hope that you won't tell anyone what I'm going to say next," Xiao Yi said more seriously.

However, Yu Ziman did not answer. She only cried.

"Ziman, in fact, you and I are not from the same world. Perhaps you and I are destined to be members of this Cultivation World. It's just that I hope that you can live freely like ordinary people." Xiao Yi whispered.

Hearing this, Yu Ziman couldn't help but stop her sad voice. She turned to Xiao Yi.

Looking at her red crying eyes, Xiao Yi sighed heavily and continued, "Ziman, your constitution is different from ordinary people."

"Different constitution?" Yu Ziman was puzzled. Her large eyes instantly widened, and she didn't understand what was going on.

There was no difference in her physique. For so many years, her body had always been very good, so good that she had almost never encountered a small illness like a cold. Moreover, she was tall, her figure was overbearing, and her appearance was beautiful. She had always been called "demon's figure" and "the face of an angel".

Everything was normal.

"You have the bloodline of the Skyscraping Devil." This was the key question that Xiao Yi had brought up.

"Skyscraping Devil bloodline?" Yu Ziman had no idea what was going on.

"That's right. This kind of Skyscraping Devil constitution is one in a million. It's the blood of an ancient devil god. It's not necessarily going to awaken it, but that day in the Spirit Spring Village, you were captured by that lustful monk, and your acupoints were sealed. I used my inner strength to help you unlock the acupoints. Who would've known that I would accidentally activate your Skyscraping Devil Body?" Xiao Yi said somewhat helplessly. "If you don't believe me, you can look at the back of your waist. Don't you see black patterns on it?"

Yu Ziman's face changed when she heard Xiao Yi mention these patterns.

Because that day, when she returned home from the Spirit Spring Village and took a bath, she had already found that there was something like a tattoo on her body. However, she still couldn't figure it out.

One time, a female colleague accidentally saw it and praised Yu Ziman for having a good tattoo. She even asked where Yu Ziman got it. She also wanted to get the exact same tattoo.

Being praised by others, so Yu Ziman didn't continue to take this thing seriously. Moreover, at that time, she had fallen into a bitter love with Xiao Yi, and all the other things were not important anymore.

Who would've thought that Xiao Yi would say that the tattoo-like pattern today was the sign of the Skyscraping Devil constitution.

"Skyscraping Devil doesn't sound good." Yu Ziman widened her eyes in confusion.

Sure enough, Xiao Yi continued in a low voice, "There has been an unwritten rule in the ancient Taoist sect. As long as a cultivator discovers a Skyscraping Devil, they must be eliminated immediately."

"Eliminated?" Yu Ziman was shocked and looked at Xiao Yi in disbelief.

"Yes, this is the rule in the Taoist sects. But, Ziman, you and I were already familiar with each other at that time. I know you very well. How can I have the heart to get rid of you?" Xiao Yi frowned and said, "So, I was selfish and forced you to seal your Skyscraping Devil Body. However, part of your Skyscraping Devil bloodline has begun to awaken. This kind of seal only works for the time being."

"Awakened the bloodline of the Skyscraping Devil?" After listening to Xiao Yi's words, Yu Ziman was stunned.

She thought about it again. During this period of time, her personality seemed to be much more violent and gloomy than before. All kinds of negative emotions came to her mind. She had been careless, but she began to become sensitive, suspicious, jealous, and harsh. In short, various bad emotions came in different ways.

Yu Ziman only thought that she was caught in a bitter love, and that was why she was like this. Until today, after listening to Xiao Yi's words, she was aware of the imperceptible changes in herself.

"Can it be that everything is real?" Yu Ziman fell down and sat on the sofa, but finally asked slowly, "Then, what will happen to me in the end?"

"If you don't break the devil's nature in your body, you'll eventually turn into a Skyscraping Devil, which will make your life worse than death," Xiao Yi said in a deep voice. "However, there's still a way to save you."

"What is it?" Yu Ziman asked in a low voice, his eyes red.

"That is, at the moment when the seven-star series of pearls and stars appear, a man with a Pure Yang constitution should spend a night with you." Xiao Yi slowly said, "A little bit of Primordial Yang will naturally remove the evil nature in your body at the moment that you break up the virgin's vital yin."

Hearing this, Yu Ziman's heart jolted, and her eyes rolled, but she still asked, "Are you that man with a Pure Yang constitution?"

"Yes, I am. There are also some people like me who have cultivated the extreme Yang-level cultivation method." Xiao Yi answered truthfully.

Yu Ziman's voice trembled as she straightened her body and asked, "This is the reason why you've accepted my confession. Furthermore, you've promised me a lifetime promise. All you've done is to save me?"

"I'm sorry, Ziman. You have the Skyscraping Devil constitution, and I can't let anyone else know about it. If one more person knows, you'll be in danger. I had to find a way to help you keep the virgin's vital Yin. At that time, I had no other way." Xiao Yi looked into Yu Ziman's eyes and replied.

Hearing this, Yu Ziman fell back with a pale face.

It turned out that everything he did had nothing to do with love. After a few months of bitter love, when the truth came out, it was just a white lie.

"Ziman, I'm sorry." Xiao Yi felt sorry for Yu Ziman's disappointment.

Yu Ziman was silent for a long time before she finally looked at Xiao Yi and faintly said, "Xiao Yi, what have you done to me? You did this to save me. I misunderstood you. I should thank you."

"Ziman, you don't need to thank me." Xiao Yi was a little speechless.

Yu Ziman, however, asked in a low voice, "What day is the seven-star?"

"In less than a month." Xiao Yi calculated with his fingers and told the truth. However, he immediately added, "Ziman, if you don't want me..."

Before Xiao Yi could finish his words, Yu Ziman interrupted him with a wry smile.

"Then Ziman, remember, within this month, don't ever.." Xiao Yi felt that he couldn't continue.

Yu Ziman immediately nodded and said in a low voice, "I'll keep it in mind. I'll keep my virginity safe."

Xiao Yi knew that there was no need for him to continue. He stood up and said, "Then, Ziman, take a rest. I'll go first. Remember, don't let anyone know the secret of your constitution, and don't let anyone see the pattern on your waist."

"Yes!" Yu Ziman nodded her head. She didn't say anything else, nor did she raise her head to look at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi sighed in his heart, but immediately strode out of Yu Ziman's house, driving away.

Yu Ziman saw that Xiao Yi's car had disappeared. After a long time, she suddenly stood up like crazy and rushed into the bathroom. She lifted her clothes and revealed the black pattern on her waist. She tried to rub it hard and wash it, but how could it be washed off?

Yu Ziman was covered in sweat. Disappointedly, she sat on the ground and looked at herself in the mirror. She mumbled to herself, "Why? Why me?"

Thinking about everything that Xiao Yi had said, Yu Ziman couldn't help but laugh.

"The life you promised me was only because of my special constitution and because I was a Skyscraping Devil that everyone had the right to kill. You had no choice but to have me because you wanted to save me."

"But, Xiao Yi, what will happen to you after you have me? How will I live the rest of my life? Will I live from your pity? What's the point of living instead of doing that?"

"But why can't I even have a reason to blame you?"

"Either live humbly or become an evil Skyscraping Devil. Is this my life?"

Tears rolled down Yu Ziman's face. She curled up in the bathroom and sat there all night. It was not until the sun rose that she stood up unsteadily, opened the door, and walked out aimlessly.
