This matter has to be traced back to earlier times.
At that time, Zi Yu had only recently transformed, and had not yet gotten involved with Wang Yang.
With so many disciples in the Ziyun Sect, the higher-ups like Ziyun Zhenren could not possibly know all of them.
Furthermore, Zi Yu's identity was a bit special, and she appeared to be just an ordinary Qi Refining rookie.
The disciples of the Ziyun Sect simply took her for a new rookie junior sister in the sect and didn't think much of it.
And so, Zi Yu successfully blended in as a disciple of the Ziyun Sect…
One time, a few outer disciples went out for a training mission, and Zi Yu, finding it amusing, offered to accompany them.
These few male disciples readily agreed on the spot!
Who could refuse such an opportunity to show off their prowess in front of a beautiful rookie junior sister?!
Everything started out quite smoothly.
They chose a suitable demonic beast and, after a fierce battle, successfully subdued it.
However, just as they were preparing to claim their spoils, a cultivator suddenly appeared, claiming that the demonic beast had been his target first!
When these disciples saw someone trying to snatch their hard-won prize, they naturally wouldn't stand for it!
Firstly, they were in the right.
Secondly, backing down now would be a disgrace to the sect!
The Ziyun Sect was now the undisputed number one force in Daliang, and had close ties with the imperial family.
They absolutely could not tarnish the sect's image!
As a result, when they started fighting, they discovered that they were no match for the opponent…
This cultivator was likely from out of town and was not clear about the situation in the Daliang Kingdom.
Because he actually intended to kill them!
Seeing that she could no longer just watch, Zi Yu decisively intervened!
The outcome was, as expected, without suspense; she defeated him in one move!
Before these disciples could snap out of their shock, they witnessed something even more terrifying!
Numerous vines suddenly sprouted from the otherwise beautiful junior sister, and her entire head split open!
Her beautiful face transformed into petals filled with fangs, which then lunged towards the corpse of the cultivator!
"Crunch... crunch..."
Accompanied by chewing sounds, they could clearly see fragments of flesh and blood falling from the edges of the petals…
Then, their vision went black, and they passed out.
When they woke up again, they found themselves still lying on the ground.
Junior Sister was still the same beautiful Junior Sister.
If it weren't for the fact that Junior Sister was currently picking her teeth with a toothpick, they would have absolutely believed that everything that had just happened was just a dream…
"Are you all alright, senior brothers?" Zi Yu asked with concern.
In response, their bodies trembled uncontrollably…
"You don't need to be afraid," Zi Yu comforted them. "I only eat bad people, I won't eat you."
Her words only made things worse.
Upon hearing that, a few disciples wet their pants on the spot…
They no longer remembered how they returned to the sect.
Later, this incident spread throughout the sect.
If not all, then at least one-third of the disciples knew about it.
From then on, whenever these people saw Zi Yu from a distance, they would turn and flee…
As the story was passed around, it eventually reached Ziyun Zhenren's ears.
Thus, Ziyun Zhenren personally went to Zi Yu's residence.
At that time, these disciples thought that the Sect Master would engage in a fierce battle with this demonic woman and eliminate this menace.
To their surprise, there was no fight at all…
The Sect Master took the demonic woman to a room and seemed to have a discussion.
The specifics of their conversation, no one knew.
In any case, from then on, Zi Yu truly became a member of the Ziyun Sect.
Initially, these disciples were still very afraid.
After all, the thought of a man-eating monster residing in the sect made it impossible to sleep.
Later, on several occasions when disciples on training missions encountered danger, it was Zi Yu who appeared at the critical moment to save them.
As time passed, these disciples gradually accepted this reality.
This demonic woman not only didn't harm them, but she had even saved their lives multiple times.
Furthermore, she appeared no different from ordinary senior sisters in her daily life, and was quite kind to those around her.
Thinking about it this way, there seemed to be nothing to be afraid of.
During the time when people were in turmoil, Wang Yang was cooped up on Mùsè Peak refining pills, and thus was completely unaware of these events.
After the disciples accepted Zi Yu, there were naturally no more rumors.
Therefore, from beginning to end, Wang Yang had no idea that the thing he feared most was always near him…
Later, when some people discovered that Wang Yang and Zi Yu had gotten involved, they initially considered whether to warn Wang Yang.
After all, being in a romantic relationship with such a terrifying existence was a highly risky endeavor.
It was usually fine, but…
If one day she became angry or lost her composure, Wang Yang, her bedmate, might become a meal in her stomach…
However, after much deliberation, they chose to remain silent.
After all, Junior Sister Zi Yu was a good demon, and the previous events were just their speculations.
Since the Sect Master had implicitly approved of Junior Sister Zi Yu staying, it meant that such a situation was almost impossible.
If they were to go around making unfounded accusations based on mere speculation, wouldn't they be needlessly causing trouble?
And another point.
If they were to somehow anger this formidable lady, they might end up providing her with an extra meal…
In the end, they took a distant glance and silently offered their blessings in their hearts.
To dare to embark on a cross-species romance at such a risk.
Senior Brother Wang Yang, we salute you as a true man!
Rest assured!
If one day you unfortunately perish, we will burn plenty of paper money for you!
…
In fact, during that day's conversation, Zi Yu revealed everything to Ziyun Zhenren.
She told Ziyun Zhenren that she was the transformed form of the Zi Yu Bing Yan Flower raised by Ye Fan, and that she could increase her cultivation by consuming demonic beasts and cultivators.
As for her other abilities, she didn't mention them to Ziyun Zhenren.
It wasn't that she didn't want to, but rather that she herself didn't know…
After speaking, to increase her credibility, she revealed her half-human, half-flower form in front of Ziyun Zhenren.
Since she was the transformed flower of his precious disciple, Ziyun Zhenren naturally had nothing to worry about.
It was at this moment that Ziyun Zhenren suddenly recalled that incident from the past.
Wang Yang had said that a man-eating monster had appeared in the sect, but he had mistaken him for a lunatic and locked him up…
He felt a bit embarrassed about it now…
And at this moment.
Seeing Wang Yang enter the bridal chamber, Ziyun Zhenren asked the Great Elder beside him.
"Should we tell him?"
He feared that if Wang Yang was scared half to death, the day of great joy would turn into a day of mourning…
"It seems a bit late now…" the Great Elder said uncertainly. "He's a cultivator, his courage shouldn't be that little, at most… he'll be scared half to death…"
The others nodded in agreement.
At most, he'd be scared half to death, which wasn't a big problem.
If they were to go in now and stumble upon an awkward scene, that would be truly embarrassing…
