Su Chen and Ruo Ximeng were both taken aback. This seemingly harmless, pitiful, and timid girl didn’t look like she had anything to do with a demonic sect enchantress at all.
However, at this moment, there were indeed quite a few cultivators around discussing the matter.
This girl, who appeared so harmless to both humans and animals, was actually someone from the Original Demon Palace.
Even so, Su Chen still couldn’t see any trace of a demonic cultivator about her.
“Thank you, Senior, for saving me. I am Jun Yao, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Original Demon Palace.
Of course, I’ve never done anything wicked or immoral, but whether it’s my fellow disciples or those from other sects, they all like to bully me…
Wuwuwu, I can’t cry, I have to hold it in!”
Jun Yao spoke with great grievance, and it was visible to the naked eye that crystalline tears were already welling up on her timid little face.
Just seeing her like this, it was almost impossible not to bully her!
In fact, just as Jun Yao herself had said, although she was a demonic cultivator, she was kind to others and harbored good intentions. She didn’t even dare to kill a chicken, let alone a person.
This caused everyone in the Original Demon Sect to gnash their teeth in hatred at this oddball, considering her a disgrace.
As for the Righteous Path? Would they believe the words of a demoness?
Not only that, but due to her temperament, Jun Yao’s cultivation progress was extremely slow, making her completely unsuited to practicing demonic arts.
Su Chen believed Jun Yao’s words; he could feel that she wasn’t lying.
At this moment, he also looked at Jun Yao with a touch of sympathy.
Jun Yao was dressed in a light pink gauzy long dress. Her features were beautiful, her figure was tall and well-proportioned, her posture graceful and alluring.
Looking closely, Jun Yao was actually very pretty—a striking and elegant beauty.
Her eyes were like pools of water, bright and expressive, her teeth pearly white, and her nose perfectly shaped. Her facial features were exquisitely delicate.
Her skin was fairer than frost and snow, her slender waist barely a handful, and most striking of all, she had a pair of long, shapely legs that were pleasing to the eye.
“Jun Yao-jie, you’re so pitiful. But I also dislike killing and fighting. If it weren’t for my master, I’m sure I’d be bullied too.”
Ruo Ximeng was full of sympathy for Jun Yao, as their personalities were quite similar.
Earlier, when Jun Yao first saw Ruo Ximeng, her heart was moved—what a cute and beautiful girl.
Now, hearing Ruo Ximeng say this, she felt even more of a kindred spirit and couldn’t help but feel closer to her.
“Junior sister, are you also going to participate in the Qingyou Grand Tournament?”
Perhaps because she felt Ruo Ximeng was approachable, Jun Yao asked.
“Yes, Jun Yao-jie. If you’re also going to the Qingyou Grand Tournament, let’s go together.”
Ruo Ximeng nodded her little head obediently.
Very quickly, Ruo Ximeng and Jun Yao became even more familiar with each other.
Su Chen didn’t mind. Since Jun Yao had no ill intentions, it was good for Ruo Ximeng to make a friend.
Jun Yao and Ruo Ximeng seemed to really hit it off, and the two of them had plenty to talk about.
What left Su Chen both amused and exasperated was that Ruo Ximeng, quick to learn, was now teaching Jun Yao how to be more ‘fierce’ so she wouldn’t be bullied.
But looking at her “awoo-woo” attempts, Jun Yao felt it didn’t seem fierce at all…
Su Chen walked ahead with a calm air, while Ruo Ximeng and Jun Yao followed behind.
The two got along well—or rather, Jun Yao really liked Ruo Ximeng, so their interactions were harmonious.
At this point, they were even sharing their respective cultivation ‘insights’.
It was a pity, though. One was a demonic cultivator from the Original Demon Palace, who had never dared to harm anyone and whose cultivation progressed slowly, so she had nothing noteworthy to share about cultivation.
As for Ruo Ximeng, Su Chen had been teaching her nonsense from start to finish. She simply repeated Su Chen’s words, spouting them with a straight face.
Unfortunately, Su Chen’s teaching was always “tailored to the individual” and “teaching according to aptitude.” For Jun Yao, who was not the intended audience, it all sounded utterly confusing.
From time to time, she would sneak glances at Su Chen.
At first, Su Chen maintained a calm expression, but in the end, he couldn’t hold it in.
Because now Ruo Ximeng was earnestly telling Jun Yao about the Taigu Star Chart and Star Aperture.
That so-called Taigu Star Chart was just an ordinary star-gazing chart, and as for the Star Aperture, even Su Chen himself had no idea what it was.
“Jun Yao! Who told you to hang around with these people?
You were told to wait at the quarters for your fellow disciples, and yet you’ve run off here on your own!”
Just as Jun Yao and Ruo Ximeng were chatting happily, a cold, owl-like voice suddenly rang out at this moment.
Hearing this harsh voice, Jun Yao’s little heart skipped a beat. She hadn’t expected that an Elder from the Original Demon Palace had actually come looking for her!
“As an Inner Sect Disciple of my Original Demon Palace, how can you mingle with two nameless Scattered Cultivators? Where is your sense of propriety?”
Elder Pang’s voice was icy, his expression severe. Even though they were currently in Yuntian Palace, his formidable aura showed no restraint.
Clearly, he intended to give these two unknown Scattered Cultivators a lesson, so they would know the terror and might of the demonic sects.
Otherwise, after spending time with a timid girl like Jun Yao, they might mistakenly think all demonic cultivators were like her, ruining the sect’s reputation.
Jun Yao was extremely worried that Elder Pang would do something to Su Chen and Ruo Ximeng. After all, Su Chen had just saved her, and she had now become good friends with Ruo Ximeng.
“Hmm?”
Just then, as Elder Pang was about to act, Su Chen’s cold gaze suddenly swept over to him.
“Boom!”
In that instant, Elder Pang felt his mind explode, as if thunder from the Ninth Heaven was roaring in his ears!
At that moment, it was as if he was no longer facing a mortal, but a lofty deity of the Ninth Heaven!
With just one glance, he felt as if he was an unnecessary existence in this world.
To go against Su Chen was like going against the vast heavens themselves.
A powerhouse! An absolute powerhouse!
Even when facing the Grand Elder of the Original Demon Palace, he had never felt such terror.
A moment ago, Elder Pang had been brimming with arrogance, but now he was rendered speechless with fear, trembling as if walking on thin ice at the edge of an abyss.
Elder Pang’s face turned deathly pale from fright, but in Jun Yao’s eyes, it looked as if Elder Pang was about to erupt in anger.
Not wanting to implicate Su Chen and Ruo Ximeng, Jun Yao hurried forward.
“Elder Pang, please quell your anger. This disciple knows her mistake and will return with Elder Pang to accept punishment.”
Jun Yao’s words snapped Elder Pang out of his stunned state, brought on by Su Chen’s intimidation.
Hearing Jun Yao, Elder Pang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, he was here to find his disciple.
No matter how powerful the other party was, he couldn’t stop him from taking his own disciple back, right?
