Yun looked innocent: "I did say that, but I didn't teach her exactly how to do it."
"Hmph, Yun, it's no use saying anything now. This afternoon, we’ll have a hellish training session, and I’ll personally assist you."
"Su Mozi, I just remembered I have something to do this afternoon, so I won’t be able to join you. Why don’t you have Little Yu go through the hellish training instead?"
With that, Yun immediately made a run for it, and Xiao Pa followed suit, fearing she might get dragged into the grueling training as well.
When Su Luo said hellish training, she meant it, and Xiao Pa had no desire to suffer through it.
However, to appease Su Luo’s anger, Yun chased Xiao Pa back.
"Xiao Pa, this is for your own good. Look at how weak you are. If you don’t improve, you’ll never get a chance to shine in the future."
Xiao Pa could only lower her head and return dejectedly.
"Really..."
Su Luo suddenly felt like she was the villain in this situation.
"Little Yu, make sure to call me if you go out. The people here are different from those in the Seven Stars Sword Sect. Although there’s not much to see in the Heavenly Demon Sect, I’ll take you around to familiarize yourself with the place when I have time."
"Understood, I’ll focus on cultivating."
Little Yu wouldn’t go out on her own and cause trouble for Su Luo. She knew that only by improving her own strength could many problems be resolved.
......
Su Luo just wanted to quietly wait for the next plot development, but unexpected events kept cropping up.
Luo Xinlan came looking for her again.
"Do you need something from me?"
Luo Xinlan said, "The Demon Lord wants to see you."
"It’s not you who needs me?"
"No."
"I thought you were here to cause trouble because of what happened last time."
"No, but I hope you’ll make the right choice next time. Otherwise, you might fall into an abyss."
"I’ll naturally make the right choice."
"Good, then come with me to see the Demon Lord."
Su Luo followed Luo Xinlan to meet the Demon Lord.
Originally, Luo Xinlan hadn’t planned to act so quickly. She had intended to wait until Gao Yu returned before exposing the fact that the Demon Lord had lost her cultivation, and then humiliate Jiang Ningshu.
But the more she thought about it, the more she couldn’t bear it. Why could Jiang Ningshu still find people to follow her, even though she had lost her cultivation?
Luo Xinlan simply couldn’t stand seeing Jiang Ningshu doing well.
So she decided to set her plan in motion and make Su Luo see Jiang Ningshu for who she truly was.
Su Luo, however, didn’t suspect anything. He wasn’t surprised that Luo Xinlan and the Demon Lord had reconciled. After all, it was just a minor quarrel, not something that would sever their relationship.
"Su Luo, what are you doing here?" Jiang Ningshu asked curiously.
Hearing this, Su Luo realized he had made a mistake. Someone was stirring up trouble, which explained why Luo Xinlan had asked him to come in first.
"I called him here," Luo Xinlan said as she entered. "Last time was my fault, so I asked Su Luo to come so I could apologize to him in front of you."
Luo Xinlan put on a serious expression and began her apology.
"I’m sorry, I lost my temper last time. I only wanted Ningshu to meet the right person now that she’s lost her cultivation... Oh, I misspoke."
Luo Xinlan covered her mouth in feigned panic, pretending to be flustered and trying to explain that she hadn’t meant to let it slip. But she was so "flustered" that she couldn’t get a word out.
However, Jiang Ningshu simply shook her head, and Su Luo acted as if he hadn’t heard anything.
Luo Xinlan was dumbfounded. Did they not hear her? That couldn’t be! Even if they didn’t react strongly, they should at least give some response so she could explain herself!
But Su Luo pretended not to hear.
Jiang Ningshu said, "Alright, let’s leave it at that. Su Luo, you can go back now."
Who could be more aware of Jiang Ningshu’s loss of cultivation than Su Luo? Her recovery depended on him.
Luo Xinlan wasn’t willing to let it go. She had said so much; how could things just end like this?
"Su Luo, didn’t you hear? Ningshu has lost her cultivation."
Luo Xinlan repeated herself word by word. Let it go? Not a chance. Today, she would make Su Luo see Jiang Ningshu’s true face.
Luo Xinlan was determined to go all out.
Su Luo sighed.
Couldn’t she just stop repeating herself? If she hadn’t, he could have pretended not to hear. Now, everyone was in an awkward position.
"Oh, and then what?" Su Luo replied.
"Don’t you have anything to say?"
His calm response made Luo Xinlan feel uneasy. This wasn’t the reaction she had imagined.
"No."
"Do you think I’m joking? Demon Lord Jiang Ningshu has long lost her cultivation and become a useless person. Can’t you understand what I’m saying?"
"I understand, but so what? She’s still the Demon Lord."
Still, Luo Xinlan didn’t get the reaction she had hoped for. She hadn’t torn off the mask just to see this.
Luo Xinlan suddenly lashed out, grabbing Jiang Ningshu by the neck and lifting her off the ground.
"I’m not joking. Jiang Ningshu is a useless person now. Will you still follow her?"
Su Luo couldn’t help but think, wasn’t this plot moving too fast? And shouldn’t Gao Yu be here instead of him?
Would killing Luo Xinlan have any consequences?
Just as Su Luo was pondering this, Jiang Ningshu spoke.
"Xinlan, do we really have to go this far?"
"Shut up! I’ve had enough of you. From the moment we met, you’ve always been better than me at everything. Why? Have I been lazier than you? No!"
Luo Xinlan finally exploded, venting all the resentment she had accumulated over the years.
"Just looking at your face makes me want to tear it apart. Do you think you’re beautiful? I don’t! But why does everyone always like you?"
"Let me tell you, your failed tribulation was partly my doing."
"Being your friend is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever done."
Luo Xinlan spilled everything in one go, with no intention of turning back.
Jiang Ningshu didn’t respond, just listened calmly.
"What are you pretending for? Say something!"
Seeing that Jiang Ningshu didn’t even show the disbelief Luo Xinlan had expected, she became even angrier.
Are you both deaf? I’ve said so much, and this is all the reaction I get?
Now I just look like a fool, losing my temper like this!
Luo Xinlan truly couldn’t understand. Did they think she was joking? Who’s joking here?
Jiang Ningshu said sorrowfully, "If that’s the case, let’s fight."
When Luo Xinlan poured out all her grievances, Jiang Ningshu knew there was no going back.
The two of them could never return to how they were before.
"Fight? Hahaha, I don’t need you to tell me that. I’ve said so much; I never intended to let you live. I’ll replace you and become the Demon Lord!"
This was just her wishful thinking. She believed that killing the Demon Lord would make her the new Demon Lord, but in reality, the Left Envoy would be the first to oppose it.
Jiang Ningshu grabbed the hand that was choking her neck.
"Hahaha, how weak. Jiang Ningshu, you’re not even fit to say the word ‘fight’ now."
But as soon as she finished speaking, a sharp pain shot through her hand, forcing her to let go and step back.
Luo Xinlan said in shock, "You... you’ve regained your strength?"
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
