Taming the Flower Demon

Mad Devil was astonished. "You actually know about us."

Li Ye replied calmly, "I know a little."

Mad Devil's expression turned stern. "Since you know that much, you should also know what I'm capable of. Get over here and kneel to greet your master. Do you want me to make you?"

It was said that Mad Devil kept hundreds of Blood Slaves, and not one of them had ever escaped.

Because none of them dared.

If anyone tried to flee and Mad Devil caught them, his methods would make them wish they were dead.

He was a man more terrifying than a demon.

Buzz!

As he spoke, Mad Devil released a trace of his Object Manipulation Realm aura and locked onto Li Ye, his gaze perilous.

Li Ye instantly felt like a venomous snake had its eyes on him. The moment he showed any intention of fleeing, his opponent would destroy him without hesitation.

Against an expert like this, he probably wouldn't have the chance to use Hand of Earth to escape.

"Kid, are you testing Lord Mad Devil's patience?"

"If you know who these two lords are, then you should know that no Blood Slave targeted by them can escape their grasp."

"The strong prey on the weak. Since you chose the path of cultivation, you should be prepared to be devoured by the strong. That's your fate. Come here. Stop resisting."

"Hahahaha..."

The Devil Sect experts threatened him with menacing expressions, their sinister voices making his scalp tingle.

If he were an ordinary person, he would probably have already collapsed to the ground in terror.

Li Ye mused, "If I had a choice, I'd rather Flower Girl do it."

The delicate Flower Demon, dressed in red with her fragrant shoulders half exposed, blinked in surprise.

The laughter of the dozen or so Devil Sect experts abruptly stopped at Li Ye's words.

Then they looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"Hahaha, did I hear that right? He wants Lord Flower Demon to do it?"

"Does he have any idea how powerful Lord Flower Demon's Soul Devouring Great Law is?"

"Kid, you made the right choice."

"Mm, it's been a long time since I saw Lord Flower Demon use the Soul Devouring Great Law. I can't wait to see this kid turned into a mindless corpse."

"Kid, you might not know this, but Lord Mad Devil drinks blood while Lord Flower Demon sucks out brains. Hahaha..."

The Devil Sect experts spoke with glee.

What? Flower Demon sucked out brains?

Li Ye stared blankly. That hadn't been in the Holy Son's memories.

He'd never imagined that this delicate Flower Demon could be even more ruthless than Mad Devil.

Li Ye immediately scoffed. "What kind of lousy Soul Devouring Great Law is that? I say it's all reputation and no substance."

"Come on, let this grandpa see what she can do. We'll find out who eats whom."

The Devil Sect experts all froze, wondering if something was wrong with their ears.

Did I hear that wrong, or has this kid lost his mind?

He actually said that Lord Flower Demon's Soul Devouring Great Law was all reputation and no substance, and looked like he couldn't wait to try it?

Flower Demon had been admiring the splendid view before her chest. At Li Ye's words, she paused for a moment, then spoke softly. "Young man, if I saw correctly just now, you walked here, didn't you?"

"Your cultivation is at most in the Qi Gathering Realm."

"But I'm an expert in the Object Manipulation Realm, and my Soul Devouring Great Law is a Peerless Demonic Art that makes you Righteous Path cultivators tremble in fear."

"You'd better say something nice to me. Otherwise, I won't let you off."

She took a step forward, her bright eyes fixed on Li Ye as she wore a playful smile.

She was beautiful and powerful. Every word, every gesture, carried the confidence of someone who could toy with Heaven and Earth Myriad Things in the palm of her hand.

Even though she was smiling, she gave off an unmistakable air of danger.

Even someone who knew nothing about Flower Demon wouldn't mistake her for a mere beauty now.

Li Ye pointed at Flower Demon. "You wretched woman, how dare you talk to me like that? Object Manipulation Realm? I could pin you down with one hand and keep you from moving."

"If you know what's good for you, slap yourself twice right now."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being too rough when I make you scream beneath my hands."

The whole place fell silent.

The Devil Sect members were as if turned to stone.

Ever since Lord Flower Demon made her name, no one had ever treated her with such contempt.

Damn it!

The Devil Sect members were so furious that smoke practically poured from their nostrils. They all bristled with rage.

They wanted to curse him out.

Lord Flower Demon was an expert in the Object Manipulation Realm.

This kid was at most in the Qi Gathering Realm.

Was this the kind of awareness someone in the Qi Gathering Realm should have? He even claimed he could pin Lord Flower Demon down with one hand and keep her from moving?

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was some ancient monster above the Object Manipulation Realm.

The Devil Sect members thought Li Ye must have something wrong with his head.

Otherwise, he wouldn't say such things.

"Quite the brave one."

Mad Devil came to his senses and remarked, then settled in to watch the show.

"Ahhh, I can't take this anymore! Lord Flower Demon, hurry up and do it!"

"Show this kid how powerful you are!"

"Use the Soul Devouring Great Law and turn him into a mindless corpse!"

The Devil Sect members shouted.

But Li Ye's arrogance didn't end there.

"Foolish people, you still have no idea what kind of powerful being you've provoked."

"Since you won't believe me, let's make a bet."

"If I can pin this Flower Demon down with one hand and keep her from moving, all of you—including Mad Devil—will kneel and knock your heads against the ground three times. How about it?"

As he spoke, Li Ye put his left hand behind his back, then extended his right hand and made a couple of gestures at Flower Demon from afar.

In the Devil Sect members' eyes, it was nothing less than a provocation and an act of blasphemy against Flower Demon.

"I'm so mad I could explode! I'll take that bet."

"I'm in too!"

"Me too! Lord Flower Demon, hurry up and crush this fool. Your subordinate can't hold back his rage much longer."

The Devil Sect members bellowed, smoke practically pouring from their ears.

"Fine. I'll take that bet too."

Mad Devil was the last to speak, and Li Ye had infuriated him as well.

Flower Demon was no longer smiling seductively. Her anger sent her chest heaving as she breathed rapidly, an invisible aura unfurling around her.

She was Flower Demon.

The Flower Demon whose name made countless people on both sides of the Righteous Path and Devil Sect tremble.

Yet today, an ant had provoked her like this and made her the stake in a bet.

This was more than she could bear.

"Fine, fine, fine. No one has ever humiliated me like this since I made my name."

"Today, I want to see how you'll pin me down with one hand and keep me from moving."

As she spoke, Flower Demon raised her beautiful, long legs and strode forward, her sharp gaze fixed on Li Ye.

The terrifying aura of the Object Manipulation Realm poured from her delicate body, making the ground tremble and the air boom.

Flower Demon appeared to take one step at a time, but she was actually moving incredibly fast, like a red streak of wind. Li Ye's vision blurred. Before he could even make her out, she seemed to be right in front of him.

At the same time, her dangerous words rang beside his ear. "I'll make you wish you were dead. Soul Devouring Great Law!"

She was a truly dangerous Demonic Path Genius.

Seeing Flower Demon make her move, the Devil Sect members all looked on with excitement.

"Stand still." Li Ye spoke at lightning speed, a faint golden glow on his tongue.

Words Manifest Reality: Any woman who hears your words will believe them.

"Y-Yes." Flower Demon replied. Her imposing aura vanished, and she stood obediently in front of Li Ye, like a well-behaved girl, frozen like a statue.

The slender, delicate hand that had almost reached Li Ye's head was now suspended in midair.

Good grief, she almost poked a hole in my head.

No wonder she's in the Object Manipulation Realm.

Li Ye's heart skipped a beat. Then, with blinding speed, he thrust out his large hand and seized Flower Demon by her fair, slender neck.

Pain flashed across her face, and her pretty cheeks instantly flushed red.

What?!

The Devil Sect members gaped at him, their minds full of questions.

Lord Flower Demon had clearly been about to crush the kid, but after he said "Stand still," she actually stopped moving?

What was going on? I must be seeing things.

"Everyone, the winner's been decided. Shouldn't you honor the bet now? Kneel down and knock your heads against the ground. Make sure they're loud."

Li Ye smiled at the crowd as he drew Flower Demon closer in front of him, standing behind her.

Mad Devil's expression shifted. "Kid, what did you do to Flower Sister?"

"You cheated!"

"Let Lord Flower Demon go!"

The other Devil Sect members chimed in.

Flower Demon had come to her senses too. She glared furiously at Li Ye. "Let go of me."

Words Manifest Reality was temporary. It couldn't keep someone trapped in its effects forever.

The stronger the target, the shorter the effect lasted.

If Li Ye used it to pick up women, he could probably get them to believe his sweet talk with ease.

But it was at its weakest when used against an enemy.

Soon, Flower Demon sank under its influence again:

"Flower Demon, tell them. Did I pin you down with one hand and keep you from moving?"

"Yes!"

"Have you already lost?"

"Yes!"

"Do they have to honor the bet?"

"Yes!"

"Are you completely convinced that you lost?"

"Yes!"

"Who's the most handsome man in the world?"

"You!"

"Am I the finest man you've ever seen in your life?"

"Yes!"
