"Hmph." Chu Yu glanced at Su Ying, sprawled on the floor, then swept out of the room.
"Demon Lord." Black Shadow dropped to one knee and saluted him. With a flick of his hand, a dossier floated before Chu Yu. "Your subordinate has finished investigating the two women you asked about."
Chu Yu put the dossier away and said coldly, "Get lost."
"Demon Lord, your subordinate has one more matter to report." Black Shadow trembled, sensing a woman's presence inside the room.
He was overwhelmed with emotion. The ruler of the Demon Realm, who had never touched a woman, was finally willing to do that with a female cultivator!
What joyous news for the Demon Realm!
If Black Shadow had not feared punishment, he would have shed a handful of joyful tears right then to celebrate his master's first taste of flesh.
"Speak." Chu Yu gazed into the distance. The Cultivation Sect really was shabby. After nightfall, it was cold and deserted, a far cry from his Demon Realm.
"The grand elder asks when the Demon Lord will finish dealing with these matters and formally return. Documents awaiting your attention have piled up in the Demon Realm for several hundred years. Your return is urgently needed." Black Shadow trembled as he relayed the grand elder's message.
"Scram." Chu Yu tossed out that single word, pushed the door open, and went inside.
Black Shadow was left shivering in the wind, utterly disoriented. Had he interrupted the Demon Lord's fun?
Chu Yu waved his hand, and the candles in the room instantly flared to life.
He glanced at Su Ying, still sprawled there, and a trace of disdain flashed through his eyes. Opening the dossier, he skimmed it.
Su Ying was the daughter of the Sword Sect's second elder in the Lower Realm. Exceptionally gifted since childhood, she had been sent to the Cultivation Sect to train at just ten years old. Her initial Spiritual Root test result had been seven.
She was in love with Xiao Muchen.
Chu Yu's eyes darkened, and he read on.
Ling Xian had belonged to no sect in the Lower Realm. She had saved Xiao Muchen's master with a bowl of water and been brought back to the Cultivation Sect in repayment. Her Spiritual Root was one.
She was exceptionally beautiful, her looks tugging at the heartstrings.
Beautiful? Chu Yu frowned. Wasn't she just as ugly as Su Ying?
And she was cowardly, useless, and untalented. Would he like such a stupid, weak, worthless woman?
Chu Yu put away the dossier and looked again at Su Ying on the floor. Just then, she let out a thunderous snore.
The disdain in his eyes deepened. If she had not been a good cook, he would have dug out her Spiritual Root and eaten it long ago.
Chu Yu stood, grabbed one of Su Ying's feet, and dragged her toward the door.
Thump, thump. Su Ying was dead to the world, not even noticing when her head was dragged over the threshold.
Outside, Chu Yu looked at the cobblestone path. If he kept dragging her now, her face would probably be ruined.
"Tch. She's ugly anyway. Why should I concern myself with so much?" Despite his words, he still cast a spell and sent Su Ying back to her room.
Looking at the woman lying on the bed without a shred of decorum, his gaze softened slightly.
The quality of Su Ying's clothing really was poor.
After being dragged just a little, her neckline had slipped down.
The pale, jade-like skin of her chest dazzled his eyes.
His Violet Eyes darkened.
Damn it...
Chu Yu's Adam's apple bobbed, and his gaze quietly settled on her lips.
He lowered his eyes slightly. Why did those lips seem different from everyone else's?
Chu Yu abruptly looked away. If he kept looking, he might well pick up the Dragon Roar Sword, slice open her lower abdomen, extract her Spiritual Root, and then eat her.
Suppressing the heat and desire in his body, he hurried out of Su Ying's room.
The door slammed shut with a bang.
Su Ying seemed startled on the bed. Her sideways-sprawled body jolted, and she mumbled, "Chu Yu, you little... hottie. So handsome... hehe, let your senior sister... lavish some love... on you..."
"Don't worry, I'll only touch... I won't use my mouth."
Standing outside the door, Chu Yu's face turned utterly black. This woman was defiling him in her dreams!
She even wanted to touch him and use her mouth?
Shameless!
The next day.
Su Ying woke from a rather explicit dream and stretched, only to feel a wave of pain in her head.
"What's going on?" She touched the top of her head, then felt pain at the back.
She touched the back of her head, only to feel pain along the side.
In the end, Su Ying concluded that she hurt everywhere. Sitting up, she also realized she was in her own room.
"System," she called, wanting to check whether yesterday had been some sort of hallucination.
[Host.]
The system's voice sounded rather dazed.
"Did you crash?" Su Ying frowned. The system sounded as though it had only just reconnected, its voice weak and listless.
[Host, I think... perhaps I did...]
The system was speechless. What had happened?
"Tell me, what's going on? Didn't I go to young fellow cultivator Chu Yu's room last night? How come I woke up back in my own?" Su Ying asked, only wanting to confirm with the system that she had not remembered incorrectly.
[Host, you did indeed go to young fellow cultivator Chu Yu's room yesterday, intending to take liberties with him.]
"What happened after that?" Su Ying had no memory whatsoever of what followed.
[I don't remember.]
The system was speechless. After that, he seemed to have crashed for no apparent reason. At the time, he had even been looking forward to a little glimpse of Chu Yu's physique.
Who would have thought-
"Holy shit, that's creepy!" A chill ran down Su Ying's spine. Had she encountered something supernatural?
But what ghost would be brave enough to run wild in the Cultivation Sect?
Chu Yu stood outside, listening to Su Ying's conversation with the system, his eyes darkening.
This human-and-system pair was quite amusing.
Chu Yu quietly cleared his throat, then addressed the person inside in that youthful tone again. "Senior Sister Su Ying, are you up?"
"I'm awake. I'm getting dressed." After answering the person outside, Su Ying rubbed her head and grimaced. It really did hurt.
System, is there any way to relieve the pain? she asked. I still have a dungeon to run later, and I have to protect that Young Hunk Chu Yu!
Outside, the corner of Chu Yu's mouth twitched. Protect him?
He could grab her by the neck with ease. Who exactly was protecting whom?
The system said,
[Host, would you like to take a Pain-Relief Pill? You can buy one for thirty points, or obtain one through the prize draw.]
Thirty points? That's so expensive. The draw, I'll do the draw. Don't I still have two chances left? Su Ying said.
[Host, please draw your prizes.]
By now, the system had fully reconnected and was brimming with energy.
Su Ying chose to draw twice in succession.
[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained one Pain-Relief Pill and one Wish-Granting Talisman. All items have been transferred to your Spatial Ring.]
Su Ying took out the Pain-Relief Pill and swallowed it, then asked, What does this Wish-Granting Talisman do?
[Host, this talisman does exactly what its name suggests. Simply burn the talisman paper and make a wish, and your wish will come true.]
The system explained.
Su Ying suddenly chuckled, a mischievous expression spreading across her face. Then if I wish to tumble in the sheets with that Young Hunk, wouldn't that mean...
The system inexplicably blushed.
Good heavens, having a female lecher for a host was far too much for a system like him!
[In theory, that is correct. But Host, doing that would be unethical.]
Outside, Chu Yu could not help nodding in agreement with the system. Although he did not know what "tumble in the sheets" meant, this woman was always trying to claim his body. It could hardly be anything good.
Mind your own business. Su Ying changed her clothes, perfectly satisfied, and opened the door. Chu Yu stood sideways at the entrance.
He stood against the light, the faint morning glow tracing his exquisite profile and bathing it in a sheen of pale gold.
"So beautiful..." The words in Su Ying's heart slipped straight out of her mouth.
