Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty

Therefore, regardless of who Yue Ran met at the Lingering Lotus Mountain, she could find out all this as long as she came to him.

"What is the matter between the demon beasts and the Exalted Sea Sect?" Yue Ran asked.

"The Exalted Sea Sect…" Qing Yun's voice trailed off in the air. "Although I am not entirely clear about this matter, I still understand the general situation."

Qing Yun pushed open the wooden door that had obviously been left closed for a long time, unused. Yue Ran and Long Yuan walked in and sat down together. The interior was unexpectedly clean and free from dust.

"At that time, there were several cultivators in the human world who wanted to make contracts with demon beasts to make those demon beasts their slaves. However, they were killed by the backlash of the attempt. This triggered the war between humans and demon beasts. I do not know what other reasons there were, but many low-level demon beasts were slaughtered at that time, so the rest went to your father."

There was a low sigh in Qing Yun's voice as he spoke the following sentences.

"Your father took in numerous demon beast cubs because of this. At that time, he had created a technique that allowed demon beasts to transform into their human forms. Your mother then took these children, who were actually demon beasts, in to join the Exalted Sea Sect."

Yue Ran finally understood. It was no wonder that the Exalted Sea Sect found demon beast cubs and raised them.

"The only goal of the Exalted Sea Sect was to live in harmony with nature," Yue Ran said. "Given their disposition, they might not have wanted to start a war or get themselves involved in any conflict."

"Yes, that is right." Qing Yun agreed. "In addition, they have a neutral standing and are incredibly powerful, so many people have been eyeing them for a long time. But later, they were caught and besieged."

Yue Ran nodded. So the reason why the Exalted Sea Sect had the help of demon beasts later on was probably because Luo Lian used to be a member of the Exalted Sea Sect.

After Yue Hu died, the strongest demon beast under him naturally took over and became the leader. He then signed a truce agreement with the humans.

"After the war, humans and demon beasts also drew a line," Qing Yun said. "It was even more difficult for us to set foot on human territory to find you."

At this point, everything has basically been figured out. After learning so much about her background from Qing Yun and the secrets that could not be told to others, Yue Ran would not feel heavy or melancholy because of it. Furthermore, she was not the original body, so she had almost no sense of substitute. It was especially so when she had no memories of the original body.

More importantly, her objective would not change because of anything. The Demon Cult, her cult, will still rise above all.

She, Yue Ran, will dominate the world, and nothing and nobody can stop her.

"I have a vast Sea of Qi, but as soon as I use my spiritual power, I will unavoidably suffer from a bone-eroding pain," Yue Ran said. "This is probably the curse from the heavens. After all, I am also a person who was born in violation of the Way of the Heavens." She uttered casually with a slight tilt of her head. "Do you know how to solve this issue?"

When Qing Yun heard Yue Ran say the words "the curse of heavens" and "born in violation of the Way of the Heaven", his face instantly became a little complicated and heavy. It was a pity that no matter how strong he was in cultivation, he was still powerless in the face of the Way of the Heavens. He is nothing but dust compared to the world in itself.

"I…" Qing Yun tried to come up with an answer. "There... there seemed to be no way…"

"All right, since that is the case, then I will not waste any more of your time," Yue Ran said. "Thank you for your time."

Yue Ran got up from her seat, patted the nonexistent dust off her red dress, and politely bowed to Qing Yun to thank him.

"You— are you leaving now?" Just like this?

Qing Yun was a little taken aback. He felt a flicker of surprise as he observed Yue Ran.

Despite the overwhelming amount of information Yue Ran had uncovered, she still showed no signs of bewilderment or melancholy. She appeared as firm as ever, her demeanor unwavering. There was no change in her eyes from the first time he had seen her— no trace of confusion or sorrow in her expression.

"Yes, I still have something to do," Yue Ran said while nodding in response.

"You… your father asked us to take care of you at that time," Qing Yun said.

From the way Yue Ran responded to him, he could understand that she did not want to stay any longer. This meant that he could not fulfill the request Yue Hu made to him and the others, and he could not push her to do so, either.

In the end, Qing Yun could only ask Yue Ran, "Are you… doing well now?"

"I am doing well," the young woman replied simply.

"Then, what else can I do for you? We…"

"I am fine," Yue Ran said. "I do not need anything, and there is nothing that I need help with. I came here this time merely to find out about my background. Nothing more, nothing less."

"That is good, that is good," Qing Yun replied. "As long as you have a good life, your parents must be happy too."

Qing Yun himself felt particularly melancholy. However, seeing Yue Ran's unwavering look— her gaze reflecting clarity and determination— he felt a little relieved.
