851 14.127 Last Violet Star – (Past) The Devil and his Vessel.

When Jin Baihua heard the voice, he was in the midst of his bitterness and sadness. He was initially startled since he was aware that he was the only person in the room. In a state of terror, he frantically searched his room for the source of that unsettling voice.

{It’s pointless to try to find me. At the same moment that I am here, I am not here. I was only able to manifest once you signed the pact and I only exist because of your hatred.}

Fennu, the Devil of Wrath, keeps luring his willing victim to enter into a deal with him. An unequal contract that would allow a Devil’s soul to dwell in the mortal realm utilizing the vessel of the contracted, as opposed to the way Devil Jidu forcibly took over Sect Master Yun’s body and suffered a backlash. As long as Jin Baihua abided by the terms of their agreement, Devil Fennu would no longer be susceptible to the Heavenly Laws as long as he continued to live in a human form.

The Infernal Region is off-limits to the Devil Race. The barrier that divides the Realm of Mortals from the Infernal Regions, where Devils and Demons reside, means that they only send a portion of their soul out instead of their entire existence. However, if the barrier were to be eliminated, the situation would be different.

Jin Baihua was even more startled when he realized what the devil had actually stated. In this realm, there were taboos surrounding the Devils, and any contact with them would result in your own species betraying you. Devil Fennu undoubtedly experienced his terror. As long as a person is alive, they will experience dread at some point, whether out of instinct or naturally.

While trembling in fear, Jin Baihua yells out, “G-Go away! I won’t deal with a devil!!!”

{Are you sure? The only way to stop the man you love from becoming someone else is with my help. Are you giving up the only person in this world who has given you kindness and care?}

Devils would prod at their target’s most seductive yearning with their words and tempt them to entirely give in to the darkness. They would use nice phrases that one would want to hear to sway one into doing what one wanted. The most vulnerable people were the sentimental ones, especially those who desired everything yet had nothing at all.

Jin Baihua was drawn to Devil Fennu’s enchantments and eventually showed attention to what the Devil had to say when he brought up Yun Huaxia.

.....

Jin Baihua asks, “You can... You can stop Senior Brother Yun from marrying that slut!?”

{No human is able to stop me from doing so. What do you think about the contract as of now?}

Jin Baihua pondered several issues. He finally found some hope that the person he loves wouldn’t wed someone just from hearing the things the devil had just uttered. Jin Baihua is the only person who may possibly be the right match for Yun Huaxia.

“Sorry, but it was in my habit to think of a way out for myself, especially at things that aren’t set in stone.” Jin Baihua questioned, “Can you truly stop them? What if you ended up not being able to accomplish it? How are you going to recompense me?”

{A cautious brat. Very well, if I am unsuccessful in winning back the affection of the person you desire, then... I’ll grant you one more wish as payment. You have four wishes, the first of which involves the person you admire. Do you agree with this?}

Jin Baihua responded, “Yes. It is sufficient. I will sign the contract with you.”

A scroll suddenly emerged in front of him after he signed the contract. It was initially written in an ancient language, but Fennu modified it so that Jin Baihua could read it on his own. Jin Baihua could now comprehend everything written on the contract scroll in its entirety.

{If you agree to the contents of the contract, drip blood on the scroll and I will materialize.}

As Jin Baihua studied the contract’s provisions, he saw that there weren’t many differences from those the devil had previously presented. Four wishes would be granted to him. His body and soul would be surrendered to the devil at the end of his life. He hesitated for a while before realizing that his only resources—body and soul—were insufficient for him to accomplish his objectives. To acquire what he desired he was prepared to give up everything.

After dropping his blood over the scroll, a man wearing pure black robes with golden fire patterns. On his head is a pair of horns, pointed long ears, vertical red irises as if dyed in the color of blood, and fangs formed before Jin Baihua. Although the man is fairly attractive, there is a sense of danger and wildness about him.

Finally, Devil Fennu manifested himself among mankind, and Jin Baihua served as his chosen vessel.

{I’ve now successfully exited the Infernal Region. Human, I appreciate you. You may now let me know what you want as per the terms of the contract.}

Jin Baihua had the thrill of accomplishing his life’s objectives at last. His avarice is obvious, just like it would be in a normal human.

“I want to become the most beautiful man in this realm.”

“I want a voice that can charm almost anyone in this world.”

“I want Yun Huaxia not to enter the Dao Ceremony with Bai Qiyin.”

{All of your requests except the first one are possible. Do you want to be the most attractive person who has ever lived? Even my look does not match that of an immortal because their entire body was enveloped in divinity, giving away a temperament that was impossible to conceal. They weren’t simply attractive; they also had a unique demeanor that cannot be duplicated at all.}

“You’ve previously seen an immortal?” Jin Baihua questioned.

{They do occasionally enter the lower realm, but yes, I saw one. The previous immortal I had seen was the most stunning being existing in the three realms. He is feared and respected by gods and demons alike, nevertheless, for he is ruthless toward any who disobeys the laws of the heavenly domain. He is the Youngest Immortal Prince in existence and the God of Punishment.}

Jin Baihua was amazed. Though he knew that the devil and immortals existed the human only knew about them. There was no proof that they had ever existed. But Jin Baihua believed that the rumors about immortals were also true since a devil had manifested before him.

Jin Baihua questioned, “An Immortal Prince? The Land of Gods is controlled by a Royal Immortal Family?”

{Yes. like the world of the living. The purest bloodlines govern the Infernal Region and Heavenly Domains. Our race’s Demon King rules the Infernal Realm. While the Human Emperor is in charge of the Mortal World and the Immortal Emperor rules the Upper Realm. The Great Sects are now more powerful than the crown in your race’s case. The Devil race cannot access this realm without your signed contract. Moreover, your race is also very idle because it is protected by Immortals.}

Jin Baihua asked, “You can’t enter? Not with your physical body?”

{Yes. Only a wisp of the soul can manage to pass through and we need a medium to do so. In my case, my medium is you and that contract is the link that allowed this soul wisp of mine to enter. There is a barrier around this realm that separates the Mortal world from the Infernal region. Humans can enter our land with restrictions the devil race cannot enter at all.}

After giving it some thought, Jin Baihua absorbed the knowledge he had gained. As cunning as he is, Jin Baihua wouldn’t overlook any facts or details that would force him to alter his plans.

“Can I change my second wish?” he asked.

{Hmm... What would you wish for instead?}

“I’ll help you with that barrier, which you want to demolish for the sake of your race and to let them into this realm, in exchange for your assistance in helping me get stronger and obtain the greatest position in the world that is suited for me.”

Devil Fennu regarded Jin Baihuan with narrowed eyes as he considered whether or not the person in front of him was rational. He finds it inconceivable that a person could exist in this world who would be prepared to abandon his own species out of selfish ambition.

{You appear to mean it. What do you actually hope to accomplish by collaborating with me, Devil?}

Jin Baihua said with a deranged grin, “I want this realm, which has been cruel to me from birth, to be destroyed. I want all people to understand what misery is, and what it means to be trampled upon and looked down upon. There is nothing in this world that is significant to me at this juncture.”

{What about that person by the name of Yun Huaxia? You won’t attempt to save it, do you?}

Jin Baihua remarked, “I will attempt to persuade him, but if in the end, he decides to perish with the human race then... I no longer care at all.” He had such a strong dislike for this world that the devil was drawn to it.

Hahahaha~

Devil Fennu laughed at Jin Baihua’s responses and what he had just stated. He had never before witnessed an insane person who was also sane. Jin Baihua is deranged enough to sacrifice his humanity along with his body and soul in order to achieve his objectives. He must be rational because if he weren’t, he wouldn’t consider what would happen to him when the human species perished. Just to stay alive, he implored Fennu to make him into a demon.

Devil Fennu would have no option but to return his body and soul if he granted this request. He planned to eventually become Fennu’s demonkin in return for supporting him.

Jin Baihua says to the Devil, “So what do you think? Do you agree with my suggestion?”

{If this is the case then I want to add another condition to my side.}

“What is it?” asked Jin Baihua.

{I want permission to use your vessel if I ever wanted to. If you don’t agree the contract would be considered void as I would be helping you with your wishes without getting anything in return.}

“Only for a short span of time,” said Jin Baihua as he agreed to the Devil’s request.

{Heh~ then we have ourselves a deal~}

The terms of the previous contract were documented, and ultimately, the contract contained all of the verbal proposals made by these two. There were several issues with the second processing of the contract as both parties accepted the adjustments. Now, Jin Baihua and Devil Fennu had mutual obligations under a contract they had both signed.

{By the way, there is something I need to ask. Do you know that there is another devil in this place?}

Jin Baihua is completely astounded and shouts, “This is the Lan Zhuayun Sect! What!? Another Devil!? Impossible!”

{There is no way I’m wrong. The aura I’m sensing is quite familiar. This devil is pretty high-ranking and comparable to me if I’m not mistaken. Maybe one of my brothers is there. He is unable to move or respond to me at all for some reason, though.}

Jin Baihua asked, “Did he get caught?”

{Impossible! Only a deity has the ability to influence us. The only entity that can threaten my race is our arch-enemy, the Immortals! In addition, I can’t detect any divine breath here. If an immortal had truly entered our world, I would be unable to fail to notice. But if he is indeed caught then things are serious.}

Jin Baihua asked, “What do you want to do then?”

{Lend me your body for a while. I need to check it personally.}

“I don’t mind but people in this sect know my face too well. Are you able to alter my face? Hiding it wouldn’t be enough,” said Jin Baihua.

{A simple problem. I won’t use your face at all. Lend me your body.}

Devil Fennu left an imprint on Jin Baihua’s flesh when he entered his vessel, which Jin Baihua permitted and then said, “Whatever... As long as it wasn’t my face isn’t revealed everything is okay.” It was a living red tattoo made of blood and in the shape of a red flower. Lycoris, the flower that denotes death
