Is Luo Xinlan trying to make me take sides?
Su Luo could only think of it this way.
Seeing Su Luo’s silence, Luo Xinlan continued, “It’s fine, just be honest. I promise Jiang Ningshu won’t get angry.”
Su Luo immediately replied, “The Demon Lord is beautiful.”
Luo Xinlan’s eyes widened, but she quickly regained her smile. “Well said, of course our Jiang Ningshu is beautiful.”
When no one was paying attention, she glared fiercely at Su Luo.
Su Luo wondered if Luo Xinlan could have some self-awareness. After all, she was the one who asked for the truth.
Su Luo was about to leave again, as she had no interest in listening to their conversation.
But Luo Xinlan asked again, “Who’s dressed better, me or Jiang Ningshu?”
“The Demon Lord. Any other questions?” Su Luo answered directly, not even bothering to look at Luo Xinlan’s expression.
Luo Xinlan was furious inside. Couldn’t Su Luo speak properly? Couldn’t she act like a decent person? Didn’t she accept the treasures I gave her?
Has Jiang Ningshu given her so much that she can’t even answer a simple question?
Luo Xinlan was also stuck in her own misunderstanding. She knew the Demon Lord couldn’t exert her power, but others didn’t know that. Who would dare to speak carelessly?
But Su Luo knew and was just telling the truth. Compared to the Demon Lord, Luo Xinlan was nothing.
“You really know how to talk. Just because she’s the Demon Lord, you won’t tell the truth? That’s not acceptable.”
Luo Xinlan was becoming more and more reckless. Her words completely disregarded Jiang Ningshu.
This was normal, as she knew Jiang Ningshu couldn’t do anything to her right now.
“I’m just telling the truth,” Su Luo said calmly, stating a fact.
Lies don’t hurt; the truth does.
“Can’t you just speak properly?” Luo Xinlan was so angry she laughed.
Seeing Luo Xinlan about to take action against Su Luo, Jiang Ningshu spoke up, “Enough, Xinlan, you leave.”
Luo Xinlan thought she misheard. “Jiang Ningshu, shouldn’t he be the one to leave?”
“You’re the one being unreasonable. Leave.”
“What? You’re siding with him and asking me to leave?”
“Yes, leave.”
Jiang Ningshu didn’t care much about beauty or appearances, but Luo Xinlan using this to cause trouble and stir up drama was unbearable.
Su Luo was also surprised. Logically, their relationship should still be strong. How did their friendship capsize so quickly?
Luo Xinlan was stunned. How long had it been since Jiang Ningshu spoke to her in such a tone?
Suddenly, she thought of a possibility.
“You must like him! But even if you do, how can you talk to me like this after our century-long friendship?”
Su Luo felt like fainting.
Hey, hey, don’t say such things. If you go out and spread this, I won’t be able to explain myself.
“Hold on, don’t drag me into such a cliché plot. I’m loyal to the Demon Lord and have no ulterior motives.”
“Then why did you say she’s beautiful?”
“Because she is.”
Asked again, humiliated again, Luo Xinlan was fuming.
“Fine, you two are great. I’m leaving.”
Luo Xinlan left immediately.
On one hand, she wanted to play the victim; on the other, she felt it wasn’t worth it to openly clash with the Demon Lord right now. Without many witnesses, what difference would it make?
It was just a spur-of-the-moment attempt to use Su Luo to slightly embarrass Jiang Ningshu.
She didn’t expect Su Luo to be completely uncooperative, despite all the treasures she had given him.
But Luo Xinlan had a bold idea. If Su Luo knew the Demon Lord had lost her powers, would he still be so loyal?
Luo Xinlan decided she needed to scheme carefully. She would casually reveal this to Su Luo in front of Jiang Ningshu and see how he would react, and how Jiang Ningshu would react.
No matter how strong their relationship was, it would surely crumble.
Would anyone follow a Demon Lord without power?
Luo Xinlan couldn’t believe it.
......
“Aren’t you going after her?” Su Luo didn’t care about Luo Xinlan, but he felt the Demon Lord shouldn’t ignore her either.
Jiang Ningshu shook her head. “Forget it, I need to calm down too.”
“In that case, I’ll head back first.”
“Mm.” Jiang Ningshu felt it was time to settle things with Luo Xinlan.
Su Luo knew Jiang Ningshu must be feeling terrible right now.
It had been a long time since she last argued with Luo Xinlan.
But this wasn’t something he could meddle in.
Su Luo returned to his residence, where Yun was frantically training Little Yu.
“Su Luo, the Demon Lord has been looking for you a lot lately. Is there some major operation coming up?”
“Why would you think that?”
Su Luo didn’t answer but instead asked a question.
“Of course, the Demon Lord hasn’t sought anyone out this frequently in a long time. We’re about to rise!”
“Rise? Were we doing poorly before?”
Su Luo had never been bullied before, and he had already settled any grudges.
“Then it means we’re getting more attention. You know, because the Demon Lord keeps looking for you, and with your previous achievements, your status in the Heavenly Demon Sect has skyrocketed. Many more people are starting to follow you now.”
“Hmph, with ill intentions, I bet. They’re not here to follow me; they’re here to harm me.”
But Su Luo never planned to rely on others anyway.
“That’s normal here. Everyone has their own agenda, but it’s fine. They’ll lose interest soon.”
Of course, if they stick around for a while and gain nothing, what’s the point?
But that wasn’t the main issue.
“So, is the Demon Lord planning something big?” Yun brought the topic back.
Your spy intentions are way too obvious.
Su Luo wanted to make up an excuse, but he couldn’t think of one. “Yeah, the Demon Lord sees potential in me. She wants me to work closely with her from now on.”
“Really? That’s amazing!”
Yun was genuinely happy for Su Luo.
In truth, Nangong Xiyun was just maintaining her cover as a spy, paying attention to anything that seemed important.
The Demon Lord had lost her powers, and Nangong Xiyun had no interest in her now.
“Where’s Little Yu?”
“She’s training.”
Sure enough, Little Yu was practicing nearby.
“How’s she adjusting here?”
“She’s fine. As long as you’re here, she’s fine.”
“Is that so? For her, this might feel like a cage.”
“Why do you say that?”
“Because I’m lazy and don’t go out much. The outside of the Heavenly Demon Sect isn’t like the Seven Stars Sword Sect. She should avoid going out as much as possible.”
Even with ten more brains, Little Yu wouldn’t be a match for the people here.
Little Yu shook her head. “Even if this is a cage, as long as Su Luo is here, I’ll be fine. If I ever feel like I can’t go on, I can do this...”
Little Yu suddenly hugged Su Luo.
“This gives me all the motivation I need.”
Su Luo thought something was off. Since when did Little Yu act like this?
“Who taught you this?”
“Yun did. She said since we’re already in the Heavenly Demon Sect, we don’t need to follow so many rules. We can do whatever we like.”
Holding Su Luo and feeling his warmth, Little Yu felt incredibly happy.
Su Luo glared at Yun. Little Yu had only been here for a few days, and Yun was already trying to corrupt her.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family."

That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune?

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack.

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress?

Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
