"This Venerable wasn't too late, was he~?"
Lin Fan, dressed in a casual shirt, shorts, and slippers, strode into the room with his hands in his pockets, stepping over the shattered door.
Hai Kun and Long Yue turned their heads, their faces filled with shock.
"Y-You, who are you?! Who let you in?!"
Hai Kun looked as though he had seen a ghost, raising a trembling finger in disbelief.
For convenience, his office door had been specially reinforced and soundproofed. Even special forces might not have been able to break it down, yet this man had shattered it with a single kick!
Where had this Great Vajra Leg come from?!
Lin Fan shot Hai Kun a cold glance. Without another word, he walked straight up to him, grabbed him by the head, and lifted his nearly three-hundred-pound body into the air with one hand.
"Who this Venerable is doesn't matter. What matters is that you offended this Venerable!"
"You think you're worthy of calling yourself the Demon Supreme?"
With a thunderous bang, Lin Fan slammed Hai Kun's entire upper body straight into the nearby wall, leaving only his huge backside hanging outside.
"Empress, how are you? Are you hurt?"
After dealing with Hai Kun, Lin Fan walked straight over to Long Yue and asked with a smile.
Long Yue stared at Lin Fan, who had suddenly appeared before her, in astonishment.
"D-Demon Supreme...? Why are you here?"
"This Venerable gave it some thought and still wasn't comfortable letting you go out alone, so he followed you."
Lin Fan smiled, feeling immensely fortunate that he had secretly followed her.
Not long after Long Yue left, he had sat before his computer desk feeling restless and unsettled. No matter what he did, he could not focus on writing, so he had ultimately decided to secretly follow Long Yue just in case.
To avoid wasting unnecessary spiritual power, he chose the most primitive method: tailing her in secret.
What he had not expected was that, just to save a few dozen yuan in taxi fare, Long Yue had taken several buses and nearly caused him to lose her.
Fortunately, he had ultimately managed to follow her all the way here.
"Y-You've been following this Empress the whole time?"
Long Yue's delicate brows furrowed slightly. She could not believe someone had followed her in secret all the way here without her noticing a thing.
"Yes, but it's fortunate this Venerable followed you here, isn't it?"
Lin Fan smiled faintly and admitted it frankly.
Long Yue was left speechless. She could not bring herself to blame him and instead felt incomparably fortunate and grateful.
If the Demon Supreme had not followed her here, perhaps she would already have been defiled by that scoundrel...
At that thought, fear welled up in her heart, and tears filled her eyes.
She was not afraid of death and could face it calmly, but she simply could not accept being drugged and defiled, having her chastity ruined!
"It's all right now. Can you stand?"
Lin Fan gently patted Long Yue's head in consolation.
Long Yue raised her head in displeasure, her pretty face slightly embarrassed.
"This Empress was drugged. She has no strength in her body..."
"Then this Venerable will take you home."
Without giving her a chance to object, Lin Fan scooped Long Yue up in a princess carry and walked straight out of the office building over the broken door.
As for Hai Kun? If he somehow survived, he could only spend the rest of his life lying in bed as a vegetable.
On the street, Lin Fan carried Long Yue openly, ignoring everyone's stares as he swaggered along. Passersby could not help turning to look at them curiously.
"D-Demon Supreme, this Empress has recovered some strength. She can walk by herself..."
Long Yue's cheeks flushed red as she murmured from Lin Fan's arms.
As the dignified Empress of the Immortal Realm, lying in someone else's arms like a young girl was simply too embarrassing...
"All right, but don't force yourself."
Lin Fan slowly set Long Yue down. The moment her feet touched the ground, she nearly lost her balance and fell, but he hurriedly caught her in time.
"See? You haven't fully recovered yet."
Lin Fan sounded mildly reproachful as he offered one arm for her to hold as a crutch.
Leaning against his shoulder, Long Yue wrapped both hands around his arm and took step after step.
The effects of the drug in her body had not completely worn off yet. Her legs were weak, and she could only walk by relying on him this way.
Because they were so close, she could smell the masculine scent coming from Lin Fan. Feeling his firm, powerful arm, she could not stop herself from sneaking glances at him.
Why had she never noticed before? The Demon Supreme actually looked rather handsome, had a decent figure, and did not seem nearly as bad as she had imagined. He was tens of thousands of times better than that scoundrel!
If it were the Demon Supreme...
At that thought, Long Yue's face reddened. She hurriedly shook her head wildly, stopping that "terrifying" thought in her mind.
Long Yue! Long Yue! What are you doing?! Don't forget, you are the Empress of the Immortal Realm. How can you entertain such terrifying thoughts?!
She had heard that a type of Demon Race in the demon realm was born with an innate seductive constitution. Perhaps the Demon Supreme possessed such an ability too. She must have been lacking spiritual power and unknowingly fallen under his bewitchment!
That was right! It had to be that!
"Empress, what's wrong?"
Seeing Long Yue suddenly shaking her head to herself, Lin Fan could not help asking worriedly.
Had that man not only drugged her with a sedative, but also slipped her some ecstasy?
"N-Nothing..."
Long Yue answered perfunctorily with a flushed face. Then she remembered how today's hard-won acting audition had ended in failure, and deep disappointment appeared on her face.
"Demon Supreme, this Empress failed her acting audition..."
"It's fine. It's probably better that you failed. This Venerable never really wanted you to become an actress anyway."
Lin Fan smiled calmly, unconcerned. Deep down, he was even somewhat delighted.
Once she became an actress, she might not be able to handle all the social dealings of the entertainment industry.
Besides, becoming an actress meant that while filming, there would inevitably be scenes requiring physical contact with other male actors...
"Why?"
Hearing that Lin Fan had not wanted her to become an actress, Long Yue could not help feeling curious.
It had clearly been his suggestion that she audition for acting in the first place, yet now that she had failed, he looked rather happy instead...
"Hmm..."
Lin Fan pondered, glanced at Long Yue beside him, and smiled slightly without answering.
"Demon Supreme, you look very suspicious!"
Long Yue narrowed her eyes, growing increasingly suspicious.
She had the distinct feeling that the Demon Supreme was hiding something from her!
"Never mind that. What do you want to eat tonight?" Lin Fan casually changed the subject.
At the mention of food, Long Yue's eyes lit up. But then she remembered that she still had not found a job, and her gaze dimmed again.
"This Empress hasn't found a job yet. She has no appetite..."
Finding a job was like a massive stone pressing against her chest, leaving her unable to breathe.
When she thought of having no money, being unable to buy the things she liked, and being unable to pay rent, the pressure in her heart was even greater than when she had secluded herself to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm...
Seeing the disappointed and despondent Long Yue, Lin Fan suddenly thought of someone and comforted her.
"Don't worry. It's just a job. This Venerable has other ways!"
