Chapter 5: Don’t Get Too Carried Away
Inside the Asura Hall.
Luo Jiuyan, clad in her purple-black robe, her figure graceful and delicate, looked at the young man with flushed cheeks, her eyes narrowed slightly.
Her face was as red as the brilliant morning clouds, adding a touch of charm to her already stunning beauty.
She pursed her lips, seemingly both shy and annoyed. “What did I agree to? Don’t you already know? You’re acting coy after getting what you wanted.”
Ye Shu: “…”
I wanted you to agree to let me leave the sect, not agree to this!
He was crying internally but didn’t dare to say it out loud.
Who was Luo Jiuyan?
The number one demoness! The cold and ruthless pillar of the demonic path!
She had once single-handedly fought her way through an ambush by eighteen righteous sects, killing nine powerful righteous cultivators and escaping unscathed.
After founding the Heavenly Fiend Sect, she had fought in dozens of battles, emerging victorious every time. Wherever she went, corpses littered the ground.
According to reliable intelligence, the bones of those she had killed in the past decade could form a mountain a hundred zhang tall, and the blood on her sword could form a river.
Who would dare to provoke such a demoness? The entire world trembled at the mere mention of her name.
And now, he was supposed to have a romantic relationship with this demoness? Was this some kind of joke?
Ye Shu clutched his head, wanting to cry.
What was he supposed to do now?
Just thinking about having to interact with her in the future made his head feel like it was growing a tumor, the pain unbearable.
“Shu’er…”
Her face was a deep shade of red as she looked at Ye Shu’s conflicted expression, her heart aching. “I know you’re happy, but don’t get too carried away.”
“Master!” Ye Shu wanted to burst into tears.
Luo Jiuyan shot him a resentful glare. “Shu’er, I agreed to this only to help you overcome your inner demon. You’re being too presumptuous! Learn from me—stay calm.”
Ye Shu’s gaze slowly drifted downward, where he noticed Luo Jiuyan’s hand resting on her chest, trembling uncontrollably, as if she had Parkinson’s.
Stay calm? Really? I don’t believe it.
She seemed to notice Ye Shu’s gaze and suddenly straightened up, her lips parting slightly.
“The path of cultivation is long, and the dream of immortality is elusive. If you want to stay with me for a long time, you’ll have to work hard and not neglect your training.”
Luo Jiuyan stared at him intently. “Do you understand?”
Ye Shu could only force a bitter smile. “Your disciple understands! Your disciple understands Master’s good intentions!”
Seeing his forced smile, she shyly lowered her head, unsure of what else to say.
“Let’s stop here for today. I’m tired.”
After saying this, she felt utterly ashamed.
Without another word, she waved her hand, sending a warm breeze toward Ye Shu.
“I…”
Before Ye Shu could even finish speaking, he was swept out of the Asura Hall and into the cold, desolate world outside. The biting wind slapped against his face.
He shivered.
His heart was filled with sorrow, and he staggered as he walked.
Just thinking about having to engage in a romantic relationship with his master made him feel utterly depressed, with no one in the world to confide in.
Damn you, heavens!
Why are you doing this to me?!
He cursed inwardly.
The graceful figure standing at the entrance of the Asura Hall saw his unsteady gait and thought he was so overjoyed he could barely walk. She chuckled. “This kid is getting too carried away. I only agreed to help you. If you don’t work hard and waste your potential, see how I’ll deal with you!”
After saying this, she covered her face, which was burning hot.
Even in the freezing cold of the mountain peak, her face remained scorching.
“Ugh! Why am I blushing? It’s just a romantic relationship! What’s there to be afraid of? Hmph!”
…
Ye Shu descended the mountain and returned to his room.
He lay on his bed, his eyes vacant.
Still pondering everything that had just happened.
How did this happen?
What did I do wrong?
I just wanted to escape this trashy sect!
How did I end up entangled with her?
Her?
He paused.
Was she old?
With her stunning beauty and flawless figure, she was a peerless beauty.
Not just in the Heavenly Fiend Sect, but in the entire cultivation world, it would be hard to find a woman as perfect as Luo Jiuyan.
Not old at all!
She’s a treasure!
But still, she was a top-tier demoness.
Being her disciple was one thing, but getting involved in that kind of relationship?
Who knows how long I’ll survive?
Thinking of this, a wave of sadness washed over him.
He shook his head violently.
“Ha! What’s there to be afraid of!”
If it’s a romantic relationship, then so be it!
A true man stands tall between heaven and earth. How can I cower before a demoness?
After thinking this through, he swept away the gloom in his heart.
His spirits lifted.
His gaze turned to the system.
Three Supreme Lottery Tickets were displayed.
He rubbed his hands together.
To complete this mission, I’ve sacrificed my lifelong happiness.
Better give me something good!
Let’s draw!
[Congratulations! You have obtained the Bone: Eternal Bone!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained the Secret Technique: Thunder Escape!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained the Cultivation Technique: Creation Art!]
Three draws in one go!
Looking at their attributes, Ye Shu couldn’t stay calm!
The Eternal Bone was a top-tier bone! It maxed out his defense!
Under normal circumstances, no one at the same cultivation level could break through his defense!
And the other secret technique, Thunder Escape, was clearly something that would let him run away really fast.
System bro, you really get me!
These two items—one for taking hits, the other for running away—were the perfect choices for survival.
Ye Shu quickly integrated the Eternal Bone.
Amidst the excruciating pain, he sweated profusely as he felt his body transform.
Then, he turned his attention to the final item, the Creation Art.
All living beings in the world, creation is infinite.
The sun and moon renew themselves, gathering divine power.
…
Ye Shu read it carefully.
He finally understood what this Creation Art was about.
It seemed to allow him to both seize the fortunes of others and bestow fortunes upon them, a mix of authority and benevolence.
Pretty awesome.
As expected, the system delivers only the best!
Eagerly, he integrated the Creation Art.
A surge of primordial energy flowed into his body, transforming his flesh and meridians.
In his dantian, a field was plowed, and a seed fell into it. Nourished by the primordial energy, the seed began to sprout.
A tender white shoot emerged, quietly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. Hazily, it continued to grow…
Instantly, his cultivation level broke through from the peak of Foundation Establishment to the early stage of Golden Core!
As a result, a flawless golden core appeared in his dantian!
Like a brand-new sun, it illuminated the sprout of creation below, stimulating its growth.
Ye Shu felt the tremendous changes within his body, a sense of joy washing over him.
He had never felt so comfortable before.
Instantly, his earlier sorrow was alleviated.
With these three amazing items, even if he couldn’t strut around the Heavenly Fiend Sect, he could at least walk a bit taller, holding his head high!
He finally felt a sense of confidence and lay back on his bed.
He began to fantasize about the days ahead with his master, Luo Jiuyan, and how they would be…
Damn!
This is too much!
Ye Shu felt that the days ahead would be incredibly… eventful.
Not only would he have to cultivate on the mountain and engage in a romantic relationship with his master, but he would also have to command the disciples as the Demon Prince and face the seven senior sisters he had confessed to.
“Wait, I almost forgot! If I stay here, how am I supposed to explain things to my senior sisters?”
Ye Shu slapped his forehead.
He had just remembered that he had confessed to seven stunningly beautiful senior sisters! That was no small matter!
If word got out that he had such loose morals, how would he ever maintain his image, let alone pursue other women—wait, no, maintain his image!
As he thought about it, Ye Shu fell asleep.
The next day, he woke up full of energy, ready to find a senior sister and apologize properly.
“Senior Sister, I’m coming!”
