Xue Tianfei's Kept Pretty Boy
"When did there become so many people here?" As soon as Lu Qing'an arrived, he saw a large group of people below.
Above the Demon Nether Cultivation-Devouring Abyss, nearly two hundred Great Emperor Realm experts were guarding it.
In addition, there are people with various levels of cultivation.
Moreover, these people had set up a special array below, and the array's light curtain enveloped the entire entrance to the Demon Nether Cultivation-Devouring Abyss.
"Oh, right!" Xue Tianfei exclaimed with a smile, "They should be from the Yellow Springs Sect."
"People from the Yellow Springs Sect?" Lu Qing'an asked.
The Yellow Springs Sect is one of the top three powers in the Demon Domain Realm.
Of course, this was his ranking before he left the Demon Domain. More than a thousand years later, we don't know what the Yellow Springs Sect's actual ranking is.
"Yes, not long ago, the Yellow Springs Sect came to our Chamber of Commerce wanting to offer a reward for purchasing a Dao-Devouring Mystic Lotus. The highest price they could offer was 200 million Demon Crystal. They said their sect's holy son was about to break through to the Emperor Realm," Xue Tianfei said.
"The Holy Son of the Yellow Springs Sect? A new Holy Son?" Lu Qing'an remembered that the Holy Son of the Yellow Springs Sect he knew had become the sect leader of the Yellow Springs Sect.
The Holy Son of the Yellow Springs Sect was about the same age as him, and both were among the most outstanding geniuses of that era. The two had even fought and sparred with each other.
In his memory, the Holy Son of the Yellow Springs Sect was a pure martial arts fanatic, a decent person who always sought to spar with him when they were of similar strength.
He also improved a lot through sparring with his opponent.
However, the Yellow Springs Sect's Holy Son has long since reached the Peak Great Emperor Realm. The Yellow Springs Sect's Holy Son that Xue Tianfei is talking about now should be the new Holy Son.
"Yes, their Holy Son is the son of the former Holy Son. Haha, just like his father, he's a martial arts fanatic. But his talent is truly remarkable, even stronger than his father's. He's only in his early twenties, yet he's about to break through to the Great Emperor Realm," Xue Tianfei said.
Lu Qing'an nodded. "Great Emperor Realm in his twenties, he's got some skills, not much inferior to Little Xuanzi."
"Yes, so naturally they devoted all their resources to nurturing him," Xue Tianfei said.
It seems that most of the Great Emperor Realm here are from the Yellow Springs Sect, and the other half were invited by the Yellow Springs Sect.
Lu Qing'an carefully scanned everyone below. None of them had noticed his arrival. Soon, his gaze fell on a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man, dressed in black, stared intently at the Demon Nether Cultivation-Devouring Abyss below, his expression unchanged, as if glued to his feet.
"Zhou Ningtian is still the same as before, not much has changed," Lu Qing'an said with a smile.
Xue Tianfei laughed and said, "You don't know, he's changed quite a bit."
"Are you sure?" Lu Qing'an looked at Xue Tianfei with suspicion.
"Can you believe that this seemingly well-behaved man, who always has a straight face and looks like he has a lisp, is actually henpecked?" Xue Tianfei covered her mouth and laughed.
Lu Qing'an blinked, looking slightly dazed.
That's quite a contrast!
"When I saw his face, which had remained unchanged for so many years, instantly transform into a fawning smile the moment his wife appeared, it took me a few breaths to process it," Xue Tianfei said with a smile.
Lu Qing'an: "..."
I can't believe it!
"Alright, let's ignore them and go downstairs."
Xue Tianfei nodded quickly. "Mmm."
After Lu Qing'an finished speaking, he flew down with Xue Tianfei.
As soon as they flew down to the entrance of the Demon Nether Cultivation-Devouring Abyss, a group of people quickly looked at the two of them.
"Activate the formation." Lu Qing'an knew what kind of formation this was; it was a uniquely modified teleportation formation.
With just one glance, he recognized that it was made by his old friend Huang Hao.
This formation was specially created by Huang Hao to help people find the Dao-Devouring Mystic Lotus.
After the formation covers the entrance to the Demon Nether Cultivation-Devouring Abyss, anyone who enters and cannot find their way out, and whose cultivation is being rapidly devoured, can simply crush a specially made teleportation Jade Slip to be quickly teleported out.
Back then, he and Huang Hao were short of money, so they used this formation to search for the Dao-Devouring Mystic Lotus inside and sell it.
After several years, they found a total of five plants and made a fortune.
All eyes were now on Lu Qing'an and Xue Tianfei.
Their first glance fell on Xue Tianfei.
This stunningly beautiful woman is the center of attention wherever she goes.
"Xue Tianfei?"
Why is she here?
"It's so beautiful! I'd only ever seen it from afar before, but seeing it up close now is truly Celestial Person!"
"By the way, who is that man next to her? He's standing so close to Xue Tianfei!"
"He doesn't have any cultivation aura. Could it be that he's being kept by Xue Tianfei...?" A powerful Early Great Emperor Realm expert thought of a possibility, but before he could finish speaking, a powerful Late Great Emperor Realm expert next to him suddenly poked his mouth with his finger.
"Shut the hell up!!! That's the Eternal Night Demon Emperor!!!" The Late Great Emperor Realm expert next to him widened his eyes, shoved the other person hard with his finger, and interrupted him from continuing.
He was a person who had been offered a bounty to help the Yellow Springs Sect find the Dao-Devouring Mystic Lotus, and the person next to him was his friend.
And he was watching the spectacle at the Blood Phoenix Sect yesterday!
The person next to Xue Tianfei right now, isn't that the Eternal Night Demon Emperor he saw yesterday?!
The man at the Early Great Emperor Realm gagged after his friend nudged him in the mouth. Just as he was about to say something, he heard his friend say that the man was the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, and his whole body trembled violently.
Oh no!!!
He... he couldn't have heard that, could he?!
Wait! I don't think I heard that...
The man looked at Lu Qing'an with a sense of hope, only to find that Lu Qing'an wasn't looking at him.
However, the next moment, he was struck dumb.
"Hehe, did you hear that? Someone said you're my kept Little Bai. By the way, can I keep you? I'll pay you whatever it takes!" Xue Tianfei laughed as she looked at Lu Qing'an.
Lu Qing'an glanced at the person who had just spoken, a person at the Early Great Emperor Realm.
The person was shaking violently, like a leaf.
Swish!
The next moment, he saw the man kneel down, grit his teeth, and tear off his own left hand.
He looked like he was begging for mercy.
Lu Qing'an: "..."
I didn't say anything to you, is it really that big of a deal?
He wasn't angry at all; what's wrong with being kept?
"Look, you've scared her." Lu Qing'an looked at Xue Tianfei.
Xue Tianfei blinked. "We didn't say anything to him, is it really necessary...?"
At this moment, Zhou Ningtian flew close quickly and then cupped his hands in greeting.
"Eternal Night Demon Emperor! Long time no see!"
Lu Qing'an nodded. "Activate the formation, I also need to go down and find the Dao-Devouring Mystic Lotus."
Zhou Ningtian nodded, took out an array plate, opened a gap in the array, and then, with a conflicted look in his eyes, said, "Could you please do me a favor?"
Lu Qing'an knew what Zhou Ningtian wanted to say; he probably wanted Zhou Ningtian's help in finding a Dao-Devouring Mystic Lotus.
His relationship with Zhou Ningtian was only so-so, the kind of nodding acquaintances, with no old grudges or any special friendship.
The Zhou Ningtian he knew didn't seem like the type to ask for help.
Tell me about it.
"If you can find any extra Dao-Devouring Mystic Lotus, could you sell me one?"
Lu Qing'an smiled and asked, "How much are you willing to pay?"
"What price do you want?" Zhou Ningtian took a deep breath.
Lu Qing'an joked, "Can you give me the entire Yellow Springs Sect?"
