An Unexpected Master's Wife (2)
"Hehe! What? Didn't expect that?" Hundred Charm Demoness laughed like a silver bell.
"I... sigh!" In the Yue Qianchou eye, nearly a hundred flying swords vanished, effectively disarming his defenses. Scratching his head, he walked up to Hundred Charm Demoness, bowing with a wry smile, "Disciple Yue Qianchou greets Master... Master's Wife!"
For a moment, he still found it hard to connect that old geezer Hao Sansi with this alluring woman, but the two had indeed been having an affair, and he had no choice but to accept it! Judging from the old man's past actions, he still had feelings for this woman; otherwise, he wouldn't have let himself become so despondent. If he didn't accept it, his conscience wouldn't be at peace, and he feared the old man wouldn't die in peace.
"Oh! That's a good boy!" Hundred Charm Demoness was clearly pleased with the title "Master's Wife." With a charming laugh, she walked closer and provocatively hooked his chin with her finger, then put her arm around his shoulder.
The air was thick with a sensual fragrance, and her firm, full breasts brushed against his shoulder from time to time. Yue Qianchou smile bitterly. Was this woman really as devoted as she claimed? Sigh! She's a beauty! Damn! She's really getting on my nerves! It's a pity I would never do that kind of thing.
"Ahem! Um... Mistress, what are you doing at a place like 'Myriad Flower Pavilion'?" Yue Qianchou changed the subject and took the opportunity to stand a little further away. He didn't want to cause a nosebleed in front of his mistress.
"What are you saying? What do you mean I went to a place like the 'Myriad Flower Pavilion'? The 'Myriad Flower Pavilion' belongs to the 'Illusion Demon Palace.' What's so strange about me, the palace master, being on my own territory?" Hundred Charm Demoness laughed.
"What?" Yue Qianchou exclaimed in surprise, "So the Illusion Demon Palace also runs a brothel! Uh... wait a minute! As far as I know, the Myriad Flower Pavilion existed before the Illusion Demon Palace collapsed."
"You're such a nasty fellow." Hundred Charm Demoness rolled her eyes in a very seductive way and sighed, "Fine, since you're pleasing to the eye, I'll tell you a secret! Did you think that because the Illusion Demon Palace was wiped out by the Qingguang Sect, I had nowhere to go and had to hide in a brothel?"
"Isn't that so?" Yue Qianchou smiled noncommittally. This cheap mistress of his was really getting into character. Hundred Charm Demoness rolled her eyes again and continued, "You must know about the 'Crimson Powder Sect,' which is ranked tenth in the demonic path and ninth after my Illusion Demon Palace falls, right? The 'Crimson Powder Sect' is known for its seductive Law Technique and the like. The 'Myriad Flower Pavilion' in the mortal world was opened by the Crimson Powder Sect. Besides being the Palace Master of the Illusion Demon Palace, your mistress is also the leader of the 'Crimson Powder Sect.' Didn't you know that?"
"Ah!" Yue Qianchou was stunned. To be precise, he was completely confused by this complicated relationship. What was this about Wan Myriad Flower Pavilion originally belonging to the Illusion Demon Palace, but now it had become the domain of the Crimson Powder Sect? After sorting out his thoughts, he finally understood. He really hadn't expected his master's wife to have a dual identity, actually managing two major sects all by herself.
Hundred Charm Demoness scoffed, "Outsiders all thought that the Illusion Demon Palace, ranked fifth in the Demonic Path, couldn't withstand a single blow from the Qingguang Sect, ranked sixth in the Righteous Path, and collapsed just like that. But who knew that my Illusion Demon Palace had diverted most of its strength to managing the 'Crimson Powder Sect'? It was only because the Qingguang Sect caught us off guard that we suffered such a great loss. Otherwise, with the strength of the Qingguang Sect, how could we have succeeded so easily?"
"I don't understand!" Yue Qianchou frowned and said, "Why does your Illusion Demon Palace have to devote most of its strength to managing the 'Crimson Powder Sect'? Wouldn't it be better to spend more effort on improving the strength of the Illusion Demon Palace? Otherwise, you wouldn't have suffered losses at the hands of the Qingguang Sect."
"Do you think it was easy for a woman like me to sit in the position of Palace Master of the Illusion Demon Palace?" Hundred Charm Demoness retorted, letting out a soft sigh. "Now that I've taken this position, I naturally have to show my ability to convince those below me. For a long time, my Illusion Demon Palace has been stuck in the fifth position of the demonic path, unable to move up. Which sect leader in history hasn't wanted to improve their strength and move up the rankings? But if your sect rises, one of the sects above will inevitably fall. Putting aside the reaction of the Righteous Path, once you threaten the sects ranked higher, your sect will inevitably be suppressed from above. How difficult it is to move up even one step. So, at the beginning of my tenure, I secretly began to send people to develop the 'Crimson Powder Sect.' The effect was obvious. Those top sects didn't pay much attention to such a small sect. With the support of my Illusion Demon Palace, the 'Crimson Powder Sect' climbed to the tenth position in just a few years. This achievement also helped me secure my position as Palace Master of the Illusion Demon Palace."
"Master's wife is indeed wise and powerful, I admire her greatly!" After flattering her, Yue Qianchou chuckled and said, "Master's wife, aren't you afraid that I will leak such a big secret to you?"
"You leaked my secret?" Hundred Charm Demoness looked him up and down, her gaze as if she were looking at a stupid pig, and sneered, "You should worry about yourself! The Daluo Sect wants to get rid of you as soon as possible, the Qingguang Sect has even put a bounty on your head all over the world, the entire Cultivation Alliance is searching for you everywhere, and the Demonic Path is looking for you everywhere. Unless you continue to hide in the Marquis General's Mansion and continue to be your servant, don't show your face in the Cultivation World. Once your whereabouts are discovered, be prepared to be killed by the Righteous Path or join the demonic path!"
Yue Qianchou was taken aback. He was naturally unaware of these things and couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly, "Master's wife, are you trying to scare me? How could a mere Core Formation stage disciple like me cause such a commotion Righteous and Demonic paths?"
The Hundred Charm Demoness casually plucked the strings of her zither, saying leisurely, "A reward of one million high-grade Spirit Stones will be given to anyone who provides Yue Qianchou's whereabouts. Five million high-grade spirit stones can high-grade Spirit Stones Yue Qianchou's head. Ten million high-grade Spirit Stones will be given to anyone who captures Yue Qianchou alive. If you don't believe me, you can go to the capital and shout, 'I am Yue Qianchou,' and you'll know whether I'm telling the truth or not."
Yue Qianchou glanced at the dimly lit capital city and his face twitched. He didn't have the guts to try. In fact, he knew without even trying that since he had killed the Qingguang Sect Master, they would definitely not let him off easily.
"It's okay to be a coward occasionally, but it's not in my nature to keep doing it. As the saying goes, the first to strike wins, the last to strike loses. Since both the Righteous and Demonic paths are after me, then let's go! Who's afraid of who! At worst, I'll just go back to Utopia and farm if I lose. Besides, my troops haven't even had a chance to be fully utilized yet. A bunch of bastards, do they really think I'm easy to bully?" Thinking this, Yue Qianchou narrowed his eyes, let out a soft snort, and a ruthless glint flashed across his face.
The Hundred Charm Demoness continued to scrutinize him with a smile...
"Master's wife, you didn't call me here just to say these things?" Yue Qianchou turned around and asked.
"Of course not." Hundred Charm Demoness laughed, "I didn't expect to run into you today. I'm telling you all this because I know you want to avenge your master, and I also want to avenge your master, so I'm telling you all this, and also..."
Yue Qianchou asked, his eyes filled with inquiry. Hundred Charm Demoness paused deliberately, then chuckled, "And I also know that you definitely have people helping you behind the scenes. I heard that when you killed Liu Changqing in Swallow City, you brought hundreds of men in black, including what seemed to be experts at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage. Otherwise, with your abilities, it would have been difficult to kill Liu Changqing. Sigh! Back when I was at the Qingguang Sect's Spirit Stone mine, I planted a wisp of Divine Sense in you, but who knew it would be dissolved in the blink of an eye. It seems your background is quite impressive!"
