The Misunderstood Hu Lu!
"It's him! His cultivation level is so low!"
Hu Lu could tell at a glance that this servant was only at the fourth or fifth level of Body Refining. But a low level didn't matter. Several of the master's disciples had also had low cultivation levels at the beginning, and some of them couldn't even cultivate. But after being nurtured by the master, they all grew up and have now broken through to the Golden Core True Person Realm, comparable to Eighth-Tier Demon King!
"I want this person!"
Hu Lu pointed at the brothel boy and said to the brothel madam.
The madam, suspecting she was looking in the wrong direction, asked, "Sir, are you pointing in the wrong direction?"
"I'm not mistaken, it's him," Hu Lu said.
The madam was a little embarrassed and quickly said, "Sir, this is a brothel. He's a servant and doesn't serve customers. How about I arrange a few younger women for you?"
"Entertaining guests? What do you mean, entertaining guests?" Hu Lu was a little confused at first, but quickly realized what she meant. "What are you talking about, you madam? I mean I want to take this servant away."
"Take it away? Sir, we don't take things out. It can only be done inside the brothel. And I've already said, the servants don't serve customers!" the madam said again.
"You..."
The Hu Lu was furious. He should have explained things very clearly, so why couldn't the madam explain it to him? Was there something wrong with human understanding?
"I already said, I'll redeem this person. How much silver do you want?" Hu Lu was too lazy to explain and asked directly.
The madam glanced at the young man, did some calculations, and gave a price. "1000 taels of silver will suffice. Although this young man is only a weak martial artist at the Body Refining Realm, his identity is extraordinary. He is the young master of a large Lineage, but his parents died, and he was expelled from the Lineage. He was even sold to us for 300 taels of silver. So, sir, you will need to spend at least 1000 taels of silver to buy him."
"Alright, it's only 1000 taels of silver, I'll pay."
Hu Lu took out 1,000 taels of silver and gave it to the madam, who then had someone find the little guy's indenture and gave it to Hu Lu.
"Sir, you can take him with you!"
"That's what the madam said."
"Good."
Hu Lu left with the servant boy, and after Hu Lu left, the madam muttered to herself, "How strange! I've heard of men liking young boys before, but I never imagined such a bizarre fetish actually existed!"
Half a day after the servant was sold, a middle-aged man came over; he was the third master of the Li Household.
"Third Master, you've arrived!"
"I heard that little brat was ransomed?"
"Third Master, don't worry. You said that although that boy has been redeemed, his situation will be even worse. He was redeemed by a strange man who likes young boys, and his future days will be very painful. Moreover, the other party has very poor aptitude. What are you still worried about, Third Master?"
"Oh, then my nephew is going to suffer from now on, hahaha!!!!"
Li Si was terrified. Although life in that brothel was tough, it was at least safe, and he could admire many beautiful women. But this unknown big man had redeemed him. He didn't know what the man wanted to do with him, but the madam's strange look made him feel that his situation was not good.
"Little one, don't be afraid, I'm taking you to see my master," said Hu Lu.
"Owner?"
Li Si was shocked. Could it be that the person who wanted to redeem him was some important figure?
Suddenly.
Hu Lu led Li Si to the outskirts of the city, then grabbed Li Si's shoulder and transformed into a giant golden eagle, soaring into the sky.
"Transformation... Demon King!"
Li Si was terrified. This was Demon King in human form, comparable to Martial Saint. Why would such Demon King redeem him from a brothel? Did he want to eat him? But spending so much silver to redeem him just to eat him was unnecessary. Such Demon King could easily capture a few humans without being discovered. Why spend money?
Moreover, this kind of Demon King has a master; could it be an Eighth-Tier Demon King or even Ninth-Tier Demon King? Then what's its reason for capturing me?
He was terrified and powerless to resist, unsure of what to do.
While he was lost in thought, Hu Lu had already crossed country after country and unknowingly returned to the Black-Yellow Sect.
When Hu Lu returned to the Black-Yellow Sect, he threw Li Si down and transformed into human form himself.
"Is this a human sect?"
Li Si saw many humans and numerous buildings resembling human sects, and immediately understood Hu Lu's identity. It turned out to be a demon pet of some sect. Now he was a little less panicked. At least a human sect wouldn't kill someone as weak as him just because they captured him.
"Hu Lu, who's this?"
Dongfang Rou walked over and asked.
But immediately, she noticed the Devil Jade glowing, and understood, "You're doing well, finding another disciple for Master. This is the third one, isn't it?"
"Yes, that means I'm lucky!" Hu Lu said excitedly. Finding a disciple meant a lot of rewards. If it weren't for these achievements, he wouldn't have broken through to the Seventh-Tier Demon King realm so quickly.
"Where did you find it?" Dongfang Rou asked curiously. She had also gone out before, but had never found it before. How Hu Lu found it time and time again? If she could figure out the pattern, maybe she could find it next time too!
Well!
Hu Lu was embarrassed. He certainly couldn't say that he had gone to a brothel, so he simply said, "I found it in a city in the Wind Pool Kingdom."
"Wind Pool Kingdom seems a bit far. You actually traveled all that way, aren't you afraid of being discovered by a human Golden Core?!"
"Don't worry, I've concealed my aura; even Golden Core can't detect me."
After speaking with Dongfang Rou, Hu Lu took Li Si to find his master. On the way, he transmitted a message to him. "Remember, don't say you're a servant from a brothel, understand? Otherwise, it might not be good if people find out you're a servant from a brothel."
"Okay, I understand."
Li Si responded.
The reason Hu Lu asked Li Si not to reveal that he came from a brothel was because he was worried that his visits to brothels would be discovered, since he had gone there secretly!
A short while later, Li Si arrived in front of Lin Ye.
"A demonic disciple suitable for the Supreme Devil Dao System has been detected. Please accept him as a disciple as soon as possible!"
Lin Ye heard the system notification and looked at Li Si who was walking over.
"Master, I have found this person. He is suitable to be your disciple," said Hu Lu.
"Hmm, not bad. Here are some points for you to exchange for resources."
Thank you, Master.
The Hu Lu happily went to exchange for resources.
Li Si looked at Lin Ye with some trepidation. To become the master of a transformed Demon King, Lin Ye's strength must be formidable, definitely above that of Golden Core True Person.
"Hello... senpai!"
Li Si, trembling.
"Don't be afraid. I'm interested in taking you as my disciple. Tell me about yourself," Lin Ye said.
He couldn't discern Li Si's cultivation level at a glance, but he sensed something amiss with Li Si's body, perhaps due to some special constitution.
"Senior, you want to take me as your disciple? But my aptitude is very poor!"
Li Si lowered his head and said.
