For example, she constantly claimed she wanted to lure bullied children onto the Demonic Path. However, the moment she saw a child being bullied, she couldn’t help but reveal herself. She didn’t just string up the bullies and give them a beating; she even took their money, bought a load of candy and toys from town, and gave them to the bullied child.
Another example: she constantly claimed she wanted to guide degenerate gamblers onto the Demonic Path and turn them into Demon Cultivators. Yet, upon seeing a degenerate gambler beating his wife and children or selling them off, she immediately eliminated the man. She even smashed more than a dozen gambling dens, looting all the money and giving it to the gambler’s wife and children.
Overall, this girl from the Demon Race firmly believed that despite being soft-hearted, acting heroically for justice, and being unable to stand the sight of the weak being bullied, she was definitely a great Evil Demon. She even kept making bold threats, vowing that one day she would make all the cultivator sects in Nanzhou kneel and declare their submission.
According to the Stewards stationed in the city: they had never seen a member of the Demon Race with such a refreshingly peculiar style.
Nevertheless, the other party was, after all, a dangerous member of the Demon Race. Even if her actions didn’t seem like those of an Evil Demon, the Immortal Sects couldn’t afford to take her lightly or let her run rampant. After all, who knew what insidious schemes these cunning demons were plotting?
That very day, the Sanqing Immortal Sect dispatched several True Disciples to capture the Little Witch and bring her back to the sect. The plan was to determine her identity and motives before deciding how to deal with her.
However, when those True Disciples actually clashed with the Little Witch, the result was jaw-dropping. Despite being at the same Golden Core Stage of cultivation—with some of the True Disciples even being a few heavens higher—they were completely outmatched.
Their Talismans, Formations, Thunder, and Magical Treasures posed no threat to her. They couldn’t even breach her defenses; her armor simply deflected their attacks, leaving her completely unscathed. When the Little Witch struck back, however, her twin Heavenly Demon blades, glimmering with a ghostly light, were indestructible, effortlessly shattering the Magical Treasures of the Taoist disciples. A group of three to five Taoist disciples couldn’t even last ten moves against her before being easily defeated.
Fortunately, although the Little Witch muttered things like, "This witch kills without blinking an eye, I’m super fierce," she never delivered a fatal blow, merely knocking them into a river. According to her, "These guys are too weak. They don’t even have the right to die by this princess’s hands."
Later, the Sanqing Immortal Sect got serious, sending a Great Ability of the Emergence Stage to suppress her, assuming there would be no more surprises. As it turned out, while the Little Witch was no match for the Taoist Great Ability, she produced a mysterious Devil’s Mirror and managed to block the attacks from the Talisman Sect’s Great Ability. Then, right before everyone’s eyes, she used a second magical device, the Realm-Breaking Escape Shuttle, to pierce through the void and make an elegant getaway, the very epitome of lawlessness and roguish charm.
"A girl from the Demon Race?" Wang Xiu’s brow furrowed slightly. He felt that her way of doing things had an unorthodox style that was strangely familiar.
Luring bullied children onto the Demonic Path? Seducing degenerate gamblers to fall into the Demonic Path? Could it be her?!
An image suddenly surfaced in Wang Xiu’s mind: the girl who had recently joined the Golden Core Demon Cultivator group chat. If this troublemaking demon girl was indeed the Saintess of the Asura Sect who had just joined the group, then everything would add up. After all, the timing of her chaos was not long after the Asura Sect’s Saintess joined, and her methods corresponded perfectly. It’s just that the plot... had certainly taken a strange turn.
Wang Xiu stroked his chin, considering his options. The identity of Daimon Qianmian isn’t ideal. With the Red Enchanting Snake Princess lusting after his body, it would be very difficult to maintain his chastity during an undercover mission. If I get a chance to capture that Little Witch... and then take her place to infiltrate the Asura Sect, I might just land a huge catch!
Of course, this was just a fleeting thought. The other party was, after all, the esteemed Saintess of the Asura Sect. Even a Great Ability of the Emergence Stage had failed to capture her. I’m only at the fourth heaven of the Core Formation Stage. While I could probably kill an ordinary cultivator at the fifth, sixth, seventh, or even eighth heavens of the Golden Core Stage if I went all out, my chances of winning against the Saintess of the Asura Sect aren’t great.
Well, I’ll think about it later. I’ll just keep it as a backup plan. After all, I am extremely dedicated and hardworking in my cultivation. In less than a month, I’ve progressed from the second heaven of Foundation Establishment to the fourth heaven of the Core Formation Stage. Give me another month, and it might not be impossible to advance to the Golden Core Stage. When I meet that Saintess of the Asura Sect then... it’s truly hard to say who will be kneeling and declaring their submission to whom!
After three rounds of drinks and much discussion of past and present, the liquor brought by the three Li brothers was nearly finished.
It had to be said, the liquor was truly excellent. It was not only mellow and crisp with an endless aftertaste but also rich with Spiritual Energy. It made one’s entire body tingle with an invigorating and comfortable sensation, and it even slightly increased one’s Mana. It was clearly no ordinary drink.
According to Li Zuoyue, the liquor was called ’Drunken Immortal Brew,’ a special vintage from the Phoenix Perch Building in Nanzhou’s Vermilion Bird City. It was reserved only for the tavern’s most honored guests; ordinary people couldn’t buy it even if they had the money. For him to bring Drunken Immortal Brew out of the Phoenix Perch Building was practically unprecedented. In all of Nanzhou, very few people had such clout. His reputation as a genius on the Nanzhou Golden Core Ranking was just that renowned!
As he said this, Li Zuoyue’s face was flushed with smug satisfaction, while his three cousins’ faces were filled with admiration and longing. As for Wang Xiu, the fervor, admiration, and longing on his face were even more intense than that of the three brothers, Hao, Ji, and You. He looked utterly convinced.
In fact, he was utterly convinced. Never mind that the System’s alert tone was beeping incessantly in his mind. Does that matter? Compared to the System, Wang Xiu would of course trust his good brother more! After all, how could you bring yourself to doubt such a righteous and magnanimous brother who keeps giving you Mana?
"Hey," Li Zuoyue said with a flushed face, swirling the empty wine jug. "We’re out of wine!"
This wouldn’t do. He had enjoyed drinking with his worthy brother today. Since it was still early, it would be a shame to end the gathering now. He grabbed Wang Xiu’s hand and said, "Worthy brother, let’s go! Your brother will take you to Vermilion Bird City, straight to the Phoenix Perch Building! We can have all the Drunken Immortal Brew we want there. We brothers will drink to our hearts’ content!"
"If we’re lucky, we might even run into Lady Feiyin from the Sonic Sect playing her zither. That music... tsk! Let me tell you, it’s indescribably beautiful, simply heavenly!"
Wang Xiu had no objections, but Li Longyou stepped in front of Li Zuoyue, saying seriously, "Cousin, maybe we should go to Vermilion Bird City tomorrow instead."
Li Zuoyue let out a belch. "Why?"
Li Longyou replied, "Cousin, we’ve been drinking. The sect rules state: ’Don’t drink and fly, don’t fly and drink.’"
"Have you forgotten that time you got drunk and went joyriding on your sword? You were caught red-handed by Senior Sister Xiao Qingyu and confined on Dragon Head Peak for fifteen days."
Li Longyou continued, "Also, before we leave the mountain, we have to go to the Task Hall and accept a group task for Vermilion Bird City. Leaving without a reason is also punishable. Did you forget the time you snuck down from Tianzhu Peak for a drink and got caught by the Enforcement Hall? That was a whole package deal of bowing in apology, being fined, and receiving a public reprimand."
"And," Li Longyou added, "did you forget the time you..."
Li Zuoyue clapped a hand over Li Longyou’s mouth. "Alright, alright! Your cousin gets it, you don’t have to say another word!"
Watching the indignant and embarrassed Li Zuoyue, Wang Xiu suddenly had an epiphany. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt
No wonder this guy is so skilled at bowing. It turns out practice really does make perfect! Heaven knows how many times this fellow has had to apologize for his mistakes. Tsk, tsk. Truly worthy of being Martial Uncle Dugu’s disciple, truly the heir to the legacy of the ’Four Pests of Sanqing.’ How terrifying! Truly terrifying!
