Of Course I'm Taking You Home, Empress

"That girl seems to have fainted."

"What should we do? Should we call an ambulance?"

"It's fine, isn't it? Her boyfriend is right beside her."

More and more people gathered around, many holding up their phones to record and livestream.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Fan immediately picked up Long Yue, who had collapsed on the ground, and put on an embarrassed, sheepish smile.

"Everyone, my girlfriend just has a bit of low blood sugar. It's nothing serious. Please make way."

"G-Girlfriend...?!"

Long Yue froze for a moment, then flew into a rage, struggling desperately in Lin Fan's arms.

"Die, Demon Supreme!"

"This Empress is the Empress of the Extreme Saint Heavenly Palace in the Immortal Realm! I and your Demon Race are sworn enemies! How could I possibly be your woman?! Release this Empress at once!"

"Be good, stop making a fuss. There are so many people watching."

Lin Fan smiled indulgently and hurriedly pinned down the struggling Long Yue, but she still refused to give up.

Who would have thought that even after losing all her spiritual power and falling into a state of exhaustion, this Empress still had so much strength? She was harder to hold than a pig during New Year...

Seeing that escape was hopeless, Long Yue hurriedly turned to the surrounding crowd.

"Everyone! Hurry and assist this Empress!"

"This Empress is the Empress of the Extreme Saint Heavenly Palace! As long as you help me subdue this vile Demon Supreme, my Extreme Saint Heavenly Palace will reward you handsomely afterward! You shall be named Saints and granted long life!"

Everyone: "..."

The crowd exchanged looks, their faces full of awkwardness and confusion.

What exactly was this girl talking about...?

"My fellow townsfolk, I'm terribly sorry. There's actually something wrong with my girlfriend's head, so she often says strange things. Please don't take it to heart."

Lin Fan pointed to his temple, his face filled with deep sorrow and heartbreak.

The crowd immediately understood, their expressions turning sympathetic and mournful.

"So that's what it was. No wonder..."

"I guessed it too. I didn't expect there really was something wrong with her head."

"Ah, what a lovely girl. Such a wonderful age, yet she's a fool..."

"You must have it hard, taking care of her all this time!"

"Brothers in the livestream, look! How touching! Even though his girlfriend has a severe mental illness, he, as her boyfriend, still refuses to abandon her!"

"This is what a role model should be! I'm moved!"

"I don't have much money on me, but here's two hundred yuan. Take it."

Long Yue: "..."

As she watched the people in front of her cast one sympathetic look after another at her while treating the Demon Supreme with such warmth, Long Yue's eyes gradually dimmed, her face ashen.

Why...

Why would they rather believe the Demon Supreme than believe her? She was clearly the righteous one!

"Thank you, everyone. Thank you."

Lin Fan "tearfully" accepted the red envelopes and gifts from the crowd, then carried Long Yue out of the gathering.

The crowd stood there watching them leave, wiping tears from the corners of their eyes in relief.

They had done another good deed today...

"Demon Supreme! This Empress will kill you! Kill you!"

"How dare you... How dare you humiliate this Empress like this!"

Humiliated into furious rage, Long Yue struggled desperately in Lin Fan's arms, her delicate fists continuously pounding his chest. Yet she was weak and exhausted, and those soft little fists felt more like she was acting coy.

She was the dignified Empress of the Extreme Saint Heavenly Palace, the supreme ruler of the Immortal Realm. Not only had she been mistaken for the Demon Supreme's girlfriend, she had even been slandered as having something wrong with her head. This was simply the greatest humiliation!

Unforgivable!

"Please be a little quieter, Empress. If you keep shouting, you'll cause unnecessary trouble."

Lin Fan shot Long Yue an irritated glance.

Their strange clothing had already drawn enough attention on the streets. Now, because of her wild yelling, passersby gave them odd looks wherever they went.

At this rate, it would be hard not to arouse suspicion...

Sure enough, before long, a police car stopped in front of Lin Fan. Two uniformed officers stepped out.

"Hello, sir. We received reports from passersby that someone may be forcibly abducting and trafficking a young woman in broad daylight. Can you explain this?"

"Officers, it's a misunderstanding. My girlfriend and I just had an argument. She's merely throwing a tantrum." Lin Fan explained calmly and unhurriedly.

Long Yue's expression changed anxiously. She struggled and shouted at the same time:

"This Empress is not this guy's woman!"

"He is the Demon Supreme, the supreme ruler of the wicked demon realm! Don't be fooled by his lies and honeyed words!"

The police officer glanced at Long Yue, then suspiciously looked Lin Fan up and down.

"Don't make a fuss, Yue'er. Saying that will make the officers misunderstand."

Lin Fan cast a "kind" look at Long Yue in his arms before continuing to explain to the police officers with a pained expression:

"Officers, I'm truly sorry. My girlfriend is angry right now, and she's not mentally well either. She has bipolar disorder and always says extreme nonsense."

"Is that so, ma'am? Are you and he in a romantic relationship?" The officer did not readily believe him and turned to Long Yue for confirmation.

Long Yue was about to refute him when she discovered that, no matter what she did, she could not open her mouth. Turning her head, she saw a teasing, wicked smile at the corner of Lin Fan's lips.

This guy really still had some spiritual power left!

He must have secretly used Demon Voice to seal her mouth and stop her from speaking!

"Ma'am?"

Seeing that Long Yue remained silent, the officer pressed again.

Lin Fan secretly activated his demonic power and controlled Long Yue, making her nod.

"Mm..."

Ordinarily, given Long Yue's cultivation, it would have been impossible to control her with Demon Voice. But now that all her cultivation was gone, the residual spiritual power was still enough to control her into performing a few simple actions.

Seeing the person involved nod in acknowledgment, the officer's stern expression vanished, and he broke into a cheerful smile.

"So that's how it is. It seems we misunderstood."

"It's inevitable for couples to argue, but please don't quarrel in the street. If there's anything to discuss, go home and talk it over properly."

As he spoke, one of the officers sympathetically patted Lin Fan on the shoulder. His eyes brimming with tears, he said earnestly:

"You know, I once dated a girlfriend with bipolar disorder too. I understand you!"

"Having a girlfriend with bipolar disorder must be really hard, right? Be sure to seek treatment promptly so she can recover sooner. If you wait too long, it'll be too late..."

"Uh... okay, okay. Thank you, officer." Lin Fan nodded lightly.

The two officers said nothing further. They waved and turned to leave.

"Good thing it wasn't some girl being kidnapped in broad daylight. Just a young couple having a fight."

"Seeing them reminds me of when I was young. That's what youth is all about~ Hahaha!"

Long Yue: "..."

Watching helplessly as the police officers left, Long Yue fell into despair.

Now that she had fallen into the Demon Supreme's hands, she had no idea where he would take her or what awaited her next.

Rumor had it that the Demon Race raped, pillaged, and committed every evil imaginable. Having lost her cultivation, she was like a sheep entering a tiger's den...

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two gradually left the bustling city center and arrived at a sparsely populated residential district.

Only a few rooms in the residential area were still lit in the dead of night. The streets were silent, illuminated only by faint streetlights.

Long Yue's anxious little heart leaped straight into her throat.

"Demon Supreme, wh-where are you taking this Empress?"

Lin Fan smiled faintly and teased:

"Of course I'm taking Empress back home~"
