Chapter 7: The Unbreakable Bond of Fated Heaven

  The manor, inside the stone room, the walls made of white jade inlaid with several sun crystals emitting a warm white light illuminating the entire room. This place was originally used for quiet meditation, but at this moment, it seemed to still retain a hint of a romantic and enchanting atmosphere. A young man lay naked on the ground, his arms stretched out, his legs spread apart, his eyes slightly closed, although he appeared to be in a deep sleep, his eyebrows were deeply furrowed. On his left side, a woman who seemed quiet and reserved lay sideways in his embrace, while on his right side, a woman who seemed beautiful and charming had her head pressed against his chest, half of her body leaning on the man's body, her long legs sandwiched between the man's legs...

  Yun Miao had a dream, this dream made her hard to speak out loud, making her feel extremely ashamed. In the dream, she was acting out an extremely romantic love scene with Ling Er and that Tang surname's scoundrel. This kind of dream felt so real, it left her nowhere to hide. Fortunately, it was just a dream, if it were true, Yun Miao couldn't imagine how it would be.

  They're all those damned stone hearts...

  Yun Miao slowly woke up from her dream, feeling aching all over her body, especially in the lower part of her body, there was an inexplicable pain. She vaguely opened her eyes and saw a familiar face, wasn't that Ling Er? Faintly seeing Ling Er with disheveled hair and completely naked, Yun Miao's heart skipped a beat, could it be that she had done it with Ling Er again...

  Huh?

  Ling'er, where is this? It seems to have noticed something strange. Yun Mo raised his head and saw a face that was somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar. This face was plain and unremarkable, not handsome, but appeared especially clean. Wasn't this the Taoist priest Tang Qing that Ling'er had brought along?

  Yun Mo's thinking was a bit slow at this moment, she looked at the naked Shangguan Ling, then looked at the naked Tang Qing, and then lowered her head to look at her own naked body, her face suddenly turned pale. At this moment, she only felt that her mind was completely blank, and the entire world seemed to have collapsed.

  "It hurts..."

  Lying on Tang Qing's chest, Shangguan Ling raised an eyebrow without opening her eyes, and only murmured vaguely. However, when she lifted her head and opened her eyes, she was also shocked by the scene in front of her, so stunned that she forgot to scream, and just muttered blankly, "Isn't this a dream? How can... it's impossible! Impossible!"

  Obviously, Shangguan Ling also had the same dream as Yun Mo!

  "Big sister! What's going on, is this not a dream?" The scene unfolding before her eyes was too shocking, too unacceptable, leaving Shangguan Ling at a loss, staring blankly.

  Yun Mo's mind was already muddled and completely chaotic, staring at the two streaks of blood on the floor that looked like roses. In those quiet eyes, there was no longer a hint of calmness, only an inability to believe and accept.

  It wasn't until much later that Yun Mo finally lifted her head, her lips were slightly purple, and even her tone was trembling as she said, "Ling Er, do you still have your Suanni?"

  Shangguan Ling subconsciously stretched out her arm, but never saw that one grain of sand that had accompanied her for eighteen years. At this moment, she finally realized that the dream was not a dream, but a real existence.

  Yun Mo didn't know how she left the stone room, and Shangguan Ling knew even less. They returned to their house, each putting on their clothes. Shangguan Ling lay on the bed in pain, while Yun Mo sat silently at the bedside, her tears welling up in her eyes. Even now, her mind was a complete blank, she just felt wronged and wanted to cry...

  "Wooo..."

  Shangguan Ling's eyes were red from crying, she suddenly stood up, wiped away her tears with her sleeve, bit her lip fiercely and said coldly, "I'm going to kill that damned scoundrel!" After speaking, she held a cyan long sword in her hand and ran directly towards the stone room.

  Standing at the entrance of the stone room, Shangguan Ling was disheveled and out of breath. Especially when she saw that damned corpse's lower body, **its thing was still standing upright!**

  "Damn it!"

  Shangguan Ling's eyes were bloodshot, and it was unclear whether he had been crying or was enraged. He held his sword up, ready to strike Tang Qing dead with one blow. However, just as the tip of the sword pointed at Tang Qing's chest, he suddenly felt a strange pain deep within his heart. This pain made him feel heartbroken!

  "My heart hurts!"

  Shangguan Ling covered her chest, the inexplicable pain in her heart made her extremely uncomfortable. How could she be heartbroken? She didn't think much, gritted her teeth and stabbed at Tang Jing's chest again with her sword.

  Suddenly! Tang Qing, who was lying on the ground, suddenly woke up with a start. As he raised his hand, two fingers firmly clamped down on the sword tip. He immediately stood up, his eyes staring at Shangguan Ling with a dead silence. "What are you doing!"

  "You scoundrel, you've tarnished my innocent body, I'm going to kill you!"

  Shangguan Ling completely lost her rationality, with only endless anger in her eyes. As she was about to stab Tang Qing again, a white shadow flashed by and Yun Mo suddenly appeared, knocking the long sword out of her hand. "Ling'er, you mustn't!"

  "Big sister! He tarnished our pure bodies, why are you stopping me!"

  Shangguan Ling almost cried out in pain, she was probably really wronged.

  "We... may have already become sworn enemies with him!" Yun Mo's voice was very quiet, but this quietness was mixed with all sorts of despair, a despair that didn't even carry any emotional tone. However, when the four words "sworn enemies" entered Shangguan Ling's ears, it was like a thunderclap on a clear day, much more shocking than the shock he felt when he woke up earlier.

  Eternal bond of heaven, eternal companions on the path of life.

  This is a heavenly contract, referring to two practitioners who are in harmony with each other, using heaven as a medium, and forming a contract that will be together in the future path of practice. Once the heavenly destiny is formed, there are advantages and disadvantages. Some people form a partnership and make rapid progress together, while others form a partnership and find it difficult to make further progress. Therefore, choosing a heavenly partner is a very strict and serious matter.

  When she heard the four words "Tian Yuan Dao Lian", Shangguan Ling couldn't believe her ears, while Yun Mo's face turned pale and looked exceptionally cold and quiet. She raised Shangguan Ling's arm, pulling his sleeve up to his shoulder, revealing a crimson cross on his smooth arm that had appeared out of nowhere.

  Immediately, Yun Mo also unbuttoned her collar, and on the full valley between her twin peaks, there was also a crimson cross, which happened to be standing upright in the middle of that enticing cleavage.

  His back...” Yun Mo said in despair, Shangguan Ling looked over in shock, and on Tang Qing's back, there was also a crimson cross. This strange crimson cross stretched across his shoulders and down his spine.

  What exactly this eerie crimson cross was, Shangguan Ling wasn't clear, but when she saw that Tang Jing had the same mark on his back, her entire body felt as if it had been struck by lightning, and she collapsed to the ground, muttering, "It's actually a Heavenly Fate Mark...... Why...... Why...... Why......"

  It is well known that when two people who are destined to be together, once they become eternal partners, both parties' bodies will have the same mark, this mark is called the heavenly fate mark, meaning their relationship has been witnessed by heaven.

  Across from him, Tang Qing used the clothes on the ground to cover his lower body, turned his head to look at the crimson cross-shaped mark on his back, gazed at the two rose-like bloodstains on the ground, and then looked at the marks on Shangguan Ling's and Yun Miao's bodies. He seemed to have a general idea of what had happened, but when he saw the two crimson symbols on his shoulders, his expression suddenly changed in shock. As soon as he sensed it, Tang Qing was like a deflated balloon, sliding down the wall to sit on the ground, his spirit weak and his expression dismal, with only regret in his eyes.

  Tang Qing's head hung low, as if he was on the verge of collapse. He didn't care about having a relationship with these two girls, nor did he care about becoming sworn brothers with them for life. Although he had always been a lone wolf, advocating for freedom, he was extremely disgusted with the idea of lifelong sworn brotherhood. In his eyes, it was like a halter that tied two people together, and this halter was witnessed by heaven itself, impossible to cut off even with an axe.

  Let him care, let him collapse, and let him fall into despair are the two strange symbols on both shoulders.

  These two talismans are one of the four great curses between heaven and earth, the curse of yin and yang. Although he had never come into contact with the curse before and didn't understand it, he still recognized it at a glance, because only the aura of the curse would contain the momentum of the vast sky, and only the aura of the curse was so natural, so evil, and so sinister.

  "This is a curse of yin and yang! It's the root cause of chaos in the Great Wilderness era, it's the chief culprit of the end of the Great Wilderness era!"

  Before fainting, Tang Jing prayed repeatedly that the curse of yin and yang would not find him after it was born. But what he feared most came true, and it still found him. Tang Jing could not imagine what he would become if he were to be possessed by one of the four great curses.

  "It's all over, you two have ruined me..."

  Tang Qing's words were heart-wrenching, pitiful, and sorrowful, as if a young wife had been ravaged by two beasts. However, when the words reached Yun Mo's ears, she was taken aback, asking in disbelief, "We ruined you? How dare you be even more excessive?" Yun Mo wanted to laugh, but it was the kind of laughter that came from being infuriated to the point of helplessness.

  "You damned scoundrel! What are you saying? You've tarnished my and Mo's innocence, and now you're saying we've ruined you? Do you still want to have a face?" Magistrate Ling's voice was almost a roar.

  "I warned you many times before that stone heart was opened, there's danger inside, don't open it, but you didn't listen. If you had listened to me, things wouldn't have turned out like this now... You've really made a mess for me..."

  Tang Jing muttered to himself, wondering why he had gotten involved with these two women and how he had inexplicably become their heavenly match. He knew it must have something to do with the curse of yin and yang, but as for the specific reason, he wasn't clear and didn't feel like thinking about it. His mind was now filled with thoughts of the curse of yin and yang.

  Although Tang Jing said all the facts, how could Shangguan Ling and Yun Mo listen to these when they were in despair? Even if they were willing to listen, they would not admit it, because they are women.

  "You..."

  Shangguan Ling felt extremely wronged, suddenly bursting into tears and running out, Yun Mo anxiously comforted Shangguan Ling and followed him, leaving only Tang Qing behind.

  Tang Qing is not a woman, but his current mood is much worse than that of a wronged wife. In this life, the thing he least wants to provoke is women. It's not that he has a pure heart and few desires, having lived for so many years, he has also had dealings with many women, deeply understanding that women are an existence that cannot be understood.

  But now, inexplicably, he has formed a heavenly bond with two women, becoming eternal dao companions. This is not important; what's important is that he has fallen under the curse of yin and yang. This powerful and perverted curse can even bring chaos to the magnificent era of the Great Wilderness, forcing it to come to an end. In this case, as a small scattered immortal like himself, will he be able to withstand its ravages?

  It's not that Tang Jing's endurance is weak, but rather he has gone through nine cycles of heavenly tribulation and his endurance is naturally unparalleled. In fact, it's because the two words "curse" are too abnormal. Looking at history, whoever was cursed, regardless of their strength or weakness, would eventually become crazy and confused, neither human nor ghost, unable to live or die. Among them were immortals and demons, and they only suffered from minor curses!
