You All Just Wait

"My Great Demon Lord Su, have you been stirring up trouble again? Did you do something that angered both gods and men? Lately, people keep coming around to pick fights, not just with me, but with many of your subordinates as well."

Yun complained.

"No, I've been keeping a low profile."

"Think again, especially about the other seven. Their subordinates keep coming over to provoke, insult, and mock us."

"Oh, now that you mention it, I remember. I blew them up a couple of days ago. I didn’t expect them to be so petty."

That must be it. They should’ve stayed out of the way. I even warned them.

"Good job, that was awesome. You truly are my Great Demon Lord Su." Yun instantly changed her tone, showering him with praise.

"Weren’t you just complaining about me causing trouble?" Su Luo glanced at Yun, impressed by how quickly she switched her attitude.

"What are you talking about? I just wanted to know what grand thing you did. It’s a pity I wasn’t there to witness it myself. How sad."

"Haha, I had a great time, but it seems like you guys are the ones suffering. And you’re still praising me? Don’t you have any other thoughts?"

Yun stopped smiling and put on a serious face, exuding a strong sense of pressure as she said, "Then, can I fight back?"

"Can you handle it?"

Su Luo knew that some of the subordinates of the other seven were not to be trifled with.

Especially the titled Heavenly Demons. For Yun, that would be a hellish challenge, even though Xiao Pa had been improving quickly lately.

Hearing Su Luo’s words, Yun sighed, "It does seem a bit difficult..."

But soon she firmly said, "But I won’t embarrass you."

"Embarrassment doesn’t matter. As long as you can handle it."

"Forget it." Yun calmed down. "As a proper subordinate, the boss can cause trouble, but the subordinates shouldn’t cause trouble for the boss."

"...Your sudden enlightenment feels unreal. Tell me, who brainwashed you?"

"Following Demon Lord Su, my enlightenment naturally improved. Demon Lord Su is truly a great leader."

"I don’t want to hear your flattery. Go play somewhere else."

Su Luo waved his hand, signaling Yun to leave.

Though he said that, who doesn’t enjoy a little flattery?

At least Su Luo was smiling as he said it.

"Sigh, I have nowhere to go." Yun suddenly said with a melancholic tone.

"What’s wrong?"

"Yesterday, while I was hiding from those troublemakers, my home got blown up. Now I have nowhere to stay."

"How pitiful."

Yun waited for Su Luo to continue. Normally, anyone would offer to take her in, right?

And then she could move in here.

But Su Luo only said three words and stopped.

Wait, aren’t we close enough that you’d offer to take me in after my home was destroyed?

Apparently not. After expressing his pity, Su Luo did nothing.

How infuriating.

Yun had to take the initiative: "Can I stay here?"

"No."

"Instant rejection?!"

"Of course. Finding a place to stay is easy for you."

For a cultivator, this was no big deal.

"True. Since Demon Lord Su isn’t willing, I won’t force it."

Yun turned to Xiao Pa with a pitiful look.

"Xiao Pa, oh Xiao Pa, tonight we’ll be homeless. How sad. On this cold night, I don’t even know how we’ll survive..."

Xiao Pa: Meow, actually, I quite like it. It’s spacious and comfortable, and the breeze is nice.

Yun continued to play the victim, while Xiao Pa was already looking forward to it, meowing happily.

Too bad no one could understand Xiao Pa.

"Alright, alright, you can stay in that room." Su Luo couldn’t take it anymore and knew Yun was just acting.

But he figured it wasn’t a big deal.

Su Luo’s place was quite large, with several rooms to spare.

"Thank you, Demon Lord Su!"

Yun rushed into the room, afraid Su Luo might change his mind.

And so, Yun stayed there, refusing to leave.

At first, Su Luo would say something, but Yun either pretended not to hear or changed the subject.

Su Luo eventually let her be.

Thinking about it, she had been coming over so often that it wasn’t much different from her living there.

......

Lately, Su Luo hadn’t been up to much, living a leisurely life with little going on.

One day, he took Xiao Pa out for a walk.

Xiao Pa ran around energetically, full of life.

Su Luo, on the other hand, just watched from a distance.

Only when Xiao Pa was almost out of sight did he catch up.

He was the epitome of laziness.

Then, out of nowhere, a person fell from the sky, covered in blood and wounds.

The most important detail: it was a man.

Oh.

Su Luo pretended not to see.

It’s just Qing Bukuang, beaten to a pulp. Where’s all that arrogance from before?

I knew this would happen to you.

Su Luo had no intention of helping him, but Qing Bukuang called out to him.

"You, did you see that?"

Su Luo turned and said, "If you know, why ask? Just pretend I didn’t see anything. It’ll make you feel better, right?"

"I didn’t lose! Lin Xuan is nothing to fear!"

"Still talking tough?"

Qing Bukuang got even angrier, his blood flowing faster: "I didn’t! I just let my guard down. If I had gone all out from the start, he wouldn’t have had a chance to counterattack! I wouldn’t have lost!"

"No, I didn’t lose! I’m not defeated yet!"

Qing Bukuang struggled to get up, starting to lose his mind.

Haha, if you had gone all out, Elder Yan would’ve killed you.

"I get it, I get it. But don’t take your frustration out on me like Liao Duci did. I’m not in the mood for it either."

This scene felt familiar. Back when Liao Duci lost to Lin Xuan, he acted the same way.

These words calmed Qing Bukuang down. He was truly weak right now.

If he angered Su Luo, Su Luo might just beat him up again on the spot.

Considering Su Luo’s past actions, he definitely would.

So Qing Bukuang held back, saying, "Next time, I’ll kill Lin Xuan."

With that, Qing Bukuang dragged his battered body away.

But before leaving, he gave Su Luo a deep look.

Having seen him in such a sorry state, he vowed to one day crush Su Luo with his strength, completely overpowering him.

He would erase the memory of his pitiful self from Su Luo’s mind.

As the leader of the seven, he had to maintain an image of invincibility in front of them.

But Lin Xuan, he wouldn’t let him off either!

He’s just as detestable as Su Luo!

Qing Bukuang never expected to lose this time.

And to lose so inexplicably.

At first, everything went smoothly. With just one move, it was clear that Lin Xuan was no match for him.

That’s how it should’ve been.

But Lin Xuan kept talking about bonds and dreams, standing up again and again, even growing stronger in the process.

It made no sense.

For Qing Bukuang, his bonds were long gone.

Only he could rely on himself.

Qing Bukuang drew his sword and made a vow to it.

I will become faster, stronger.

I will never lose to anyone again!

All of you, just wait!
