Chapter 276: I’m Perfectly Happy (5^th Update)

If that were the case, Ye Wenxin found it incredibly frightening.

Feeling uneasy, she touched her neck, which still bore the marks from Liu Churan’s grip. Huang Hanyan’s expression grew more complex, and she became even more wary of Liu Churan.

“Junior Sister Wenxin, what happened to your neck?”

“Got scratched by a cat; it’s nothing.”

Liu Churan, the one responsible, showed no change in her expression. She sat in the chair, seemingly intending to stay in Ye Wenxin’s room.

“Could Miss Liu please step out? Senior Sister Hanyan and I have some matters to discuss,” Ye Wenxin said with resignation, feeling increasingly unsettled by Liu Churan’s demeanor.

However, if Huang Hanyan returned, they could leave early and report back to the Azure Wings Sect, rather than being under someone else’s control at this relay station.

“Oh, what private matters require you two to discuss by yourselves?” Liu Churan asked with a smile, her Charm affecting Huang Hanyan, whose bewildered eyes lost focus, and she failed to respond no matter how she was called.

Ye Wenxin realized she couldn’t keep up the act anymore and sighed, saying, “Miss Liu, just get to the point. What exactly do you want to discuss with me?”

Liu Churan lifted her leg lightly, adjusting to a more comfortable posture. Her seductive gaze fixed on Ye Wenxin, as if she were seeing someone else again.

“Do you know her?” Liu Churan asked directly about Ye Wenxin’s relationship with the Demon Lord.

Ye Wenxin was somewhat surprised to hear this. “Who are you referring to, Miss?”

“Demon Lord Gu Qingcheng.” Liu Churan pronounced these words, and Ye Wenxin’s expression showed even more surprise. Liu Churan smiled even more broadly.

“Your acting is too poor, whether it was when you realized my identity or now, it all feels too fake. I’m just curious why she had you say those things to me.” Liu Churan’s eyes betrayed confusion, but she didn’t suspect Ye Wenxin of being the Demon Lord herself.

Perhaps the sacrifices Ye Wenxin had made before had given Liu Churan this mistaken impression.

“She wants to live her own life.”

“My addition wouldn’t change a thing.” Liu Churan’s eyes revealed a hint of dissatisfaction, seemingly finding the Demon Lord too heartless.

“She said taking care of you until adulthood was a promise, but she didn’t promise to take care of you for life. Everyone should have their own life, rather than wasting effort on someone who can never reciprocate,” Ye Wenxin added, each word striking deep.

“Does that mean she’ll never see me again in this lifetime?”

“She didn’t tell me that.” Ye Wenxin shook her head, reluctant to reveal more, hoping Liu Churan would truly understand her thoughtful intentions.

The Wind and Moon Palace belonged to Liu Churan now; the Demon Lord had fulfilled her promise and watched her grow, seeing her evolve from that little monkey into the person she was now at twenty-five.

“Then who are you, some bastard child she had with Long Qingyue?” Liu Churan asked a second question, mentioning the name of Ye Wenxin’s best friend, which nearly caused Ye Wenxin to choke with laughter.

She didn’t know where these ridiculous rumors originated, claiming the Demon Lord had a secret illegitimate daughter, with the top contenders being Long Qingyue and Liu Churan herself. Now that Liu Churan was so angry, Ye Wenxin almost believed these absurd stories.

“No, I just happen to look a bit like her.” Ye Wenxin shook her head, trying hard to express her sincerity.

Liu Churan continued to stare intensely until Ye Wenxin felt her scalp numbing, then slowly looked away, closing her eyes slightly before saying, “One last question.”

“What is it?” Ye Wenxin felt like she was facing a formidable foe, fearing that Liu Churan might ask if she was the Demon Lord herself.

“Was it true when you said you liked me before?” The conversation circled back to that day’s confession.

Ye Wenxin regretted saying such things out of boredom and self-sacrifice, but seeing Liu Churan genuinely curious for an answer, she reluctantly replied, “It was a temporary measure, just a temporary measure.”

Liu Churan nodded, her expression still calm. Her lips curled into a seductive smile once more, captivating those around her. Seeing this expression, Ye Wenxin understood that Liu Churan completely believed her nonsense.

But before Ye Wenxin could say anything more, Liu Churan continued, “What a pity. If you really were her child, I would have liked to taste you.”

“No, no, you should stick with the Demon Lord.” Ye Wenxin desperately shook her head, unable to resist mentioning the Demon Lord again. Considering Liu Churan’s personality, if anything were to actually occur, Liu Churan would probably drain her completely.

Liu Churan would desperately make up for all her losses, venting out all the love she couldn’t obtain before. There was also the fact that Liu Churan had reached the Soul Transformation stage, which improved her physical strength exponentially.

Ye Wenxin grew increasingly terrified, and she shook her head fervently.

Liu Churan kept on smiling, but this time, she lightly snapped her fingers, looking at the Charmed Huang Hanyan. “Since you’re being so honest, I’ll gift you something.”

Before Ye Wenxin could ask what it was, Huang Hanyan was already pouncing on her, offering herself to Ye Wenxin. Still smiling, Liu Churan left and closed the door, but when she glanced back, she revealed a desolate expression.

A breeze blew, and in the blink of an eye, a person was already standing beside Liu Churan.

“Palace Master, it’s about to start.” The woman, dressed in black, respectfully reported to Liu Churan.

Liu Churan subtly nodded, smile disappearing from her eyes. She took out a set of red robes from her bag of holding, glanced at them, and then said, “Since you’re so heartless to me, don’t blame me for being unrighteous. Even if I have to overturn this world, I will have you!”

As if she had made an oath to those red robes, a thunderbolt fell from the sky, its blinding light hiding Liu Churan’s figure for a moment.

……

“These Liu women are really prone to infatuation.” Ye Wenxin, who was in the room, also sensed the movements outside. She subdued Huang Hanyan, stabbing her with a few needles to release the Charm poison.

She wondered what Liu Churan would think, if she knew she had just sent her most beloved Demon Lord to another woman’s bed. Ye Wenxin sighed resignedly, but as Liu Churan was still near, she continued lying next to Huang Hanyan.

Time flew by and when evening came, only Liu Churan was nowhere to be seen. But no one was surprised by Liu Churan’s errant comings and goings.

Huang Hanyan was following Ye Wenxin wherever she went, seeming more like a maid than a senior sister.

“Senior Sister, you don’t have to do this.” Ye Wenxin smiled wryly, feeling that Huang Hanyan, now free from the things that had been gnawing at her mind, had lost the impetus to become a female lead. Instead, she was willing to stay by her side as a slave until her death.

“I’m perfectly happy to,” Huang Hanyan replied with a sincere expression. After being stirred by Liu Churan, if Ye Wenxin had desired her that time, she would never have any complaints.
