Chapter 82: Golden Serpent Demon King x Fierce Beast Qiongqi 16

The next morning.

Qiongqi had captured over a hundred female disciples from the Lingguang Sect and, in the process, rescued a hundred or so male demons. He even brought along Su Yan’s two disciples.

Hou Yuan and Luo Chen initially didn’t understand why Qiongqi had captured their wives, but after witnessing their wives’ memories, it all became clear. Their faces turned grim as they stood there, wishing they could beat some sense into their love-struck selves.

They had believed they had found true love, only to discover that their partners had ulterior motives.

Su Yan, looking at the women on one side and the male demons on the other, felt his headache worsen.

“Hou Yuan, Luo Chen, from now on, don’t you dare tell anyone you’re my disciples. I can’t afford the shame!”

He had thought his disciples had found love, but it turned out they were merely targets for their partners’ schemes to obtain their essence.

Hou Yuan opened his mouth but couldn’t find the words to speak. He had descended to the mortal realm to find his junior brother, only to fall for a woman and even leave the demon realm for her. Yet, his beloved had only wanted his essence to ascend to immortality.

Luo Chen was equally shaken. “So, everything Jiaojiao said about loving me was a lie, and I was foolish enough to believe her.”

As the youngest disciple of the Golden Snake Demon King, he had always been bold and carefree, but now he was utterly lost and disoriented.

Su Yan couldn’t take it anymore and kicked him, scolding with frustration, “You fool! Do you believe everything people say? Don’t you have any judgment? Can’t you see through sweet talk and hidden schemes?”

Luo Chen muttered softly, “You’re one to talk! You can’t see through others’ intentions either. Like master, like disciple.”

Su Yan kicked him again in anger. “You wretched disciple, learning all the wrong things! I’ll beat you to death today!”

Qiongqi, seeing Su Yan’s rage, wrapped an arm around his waist and patted his back soothingly. “Don’t get so worked up. It’s not worth it for this blind disciple.”

Luo Chen, feeling yet another metaphorical arrow to the heart, thought, “Can you all just stop talking?”

Su Yan stood up straight, still catching his breath, and twisted Luo Chen’s ear. “Once this is over, you’re going back to the demon realm to reflect on your mistakes!”

He let go of his wailing disciple and turned to his second disciple, who stood there as if nothing had happened. “And you, you’re going with him.”

Luo Chen and Hou Yuan: o(╥﹏╥)o

“Yes, Master,” they replied pitifully, not daring to get in their master’s way again.

Su Yan calmed his anger and turned to the group of male demons standing silently on the left side of the courtyard. “After you return, none of you are allowed to set foot in the human realm again. Go back and let your elders teach you some sense!”

“You’re all a bunch of brainless fools!”

This usually composed thousand-year-old demon couldn’t hold back after seeing so many of his kind deceived, wishing he could crack open their heads to see if they were all infected with a love-struck mindset.

Qiongqi stopped intervening after the first time and simply watched the drama unfold. “I’ve known  Ayang  for hundreds of years, and I’ve never seen him this angry,” he remarked.

Back when Su Yan sought revenge, he hadn’t lost his temper like this.

Luo Chen rubbed his sore ear and whispered, “I’ve been Master’s disciple for over a hundred years, and I’ve never seen him like this either.”

Hou Yuan nodded in agreement. “Same here.”

At this moment, only System 729 could understand the extent of Su Yan’s inner turmoil. Faced with so many love-struck male demons, it was a miracle he hadn’t beaten them all senseless.

Unfortunately, System 729 wasn’t present. It was at the Fast Travel Bureau, seeking relationship advice from the Matchmaking Department’s system and taking diligent notes. It planned to have its host study these lessons thoroughly to avoid being led around by the Demon God.

Su Yan vented his frustration for a while before finally letting the dejected male demons off the hook. He turned to the female disciples on the right. “Even the immortal realm wouldn’t dare toy with demons like this. You’ve got guts, but aren’t you afraid of slipping up one day?”

The female cultivators of the Lingguang Sect struggled fiercely, but the binding spell held firm, leaving them trapped in the courtyard.

“Who are you? Aren’t you afraid of making enemies with the human realm by capturing us?”

“We’ve already ascended to immortality and belong to the immortal realm. You have no right to judge us!”

“Let us go! Let us go now!”

Su Yan conjured a chair with a wave of his hand and sat down leisurely. “No rush. I’ve already reported this to the immortal realm. Your crimes won’t go unpunished. I’m waiting to see your fate!”

A mocking smile played on his lips, his expression growing colder.

The female disciples of the Lingguang Sect: Σ⊙▃⊙川

Damn! Are you serious?

They struggled again, but Su Yan simply watched them indifferently. He mused that his temper had indeed improved—he hadn’t killed them outright but was waiting for the immortal realm to send someone to judge and punish them.

Tsk, they should be grateful!
