Chapter 104: The Many Gossips of the Demon Lord

While Ye Wenxin was pondering this, on the other side, Qian Bingxue was respectfully standing in the great hall, reporting what had happened tonight.

“Oh, then tell me your opinion on this person.” The voice of the woman who spoke sounded lighter than Fairy Fengya’s, without any other expressions or emotions, as if she merely asked for the sake of asking.

Qian Bingxue ceremoniously bowed, and then said with her cold tone that remained unchanged for thousands of years, “Answering Master, This Disciple feels the girl has unlimited prospects.”

The person in the great hall just lightly waved their sleeves at Qian Bingxue’s sentence.

“This Disciple is retiring.” Qian Bingxue bowed ceremoniously again, and then very quickly left the great hall.

Only the person sitting remained in the huge and spacious great hall, staring blankly at the spot below the dais, seeming to have fallen into a state of standstill again. However, a few seconds later, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Her face still unperturbed, she wiped the blood on the corner of her mouth, returning into a dazed state all on her own……

At the same moment, Ye Wenxin woke from her dream with a start, only to feel a tingling in her head, as if not long ago, someone was trying to check her memories through a forbidden technique.

Needless to say, it must have been the doing of Shura Hall’s Hall Master again, but out of their previous friendship, Ye Wenxin merely injured her a little, by no means did she want to take the life of Shura Hall’s Hall Master right away.

“Now, I can finally have a good sleep.” Sensing the searching aura had disappeared, Ye Wenxin shut her eyes once more. This time she slept dreamlessly until Luo Miaoyi came knocking on her door calling for her, to which she unwillingly and begrudgingly got up.

“Miss Ye, our Master is a nice person, she just isn’t fond of talking or minding people. You mustn’t act according to your heart.” As they were making their way, Luo Miaoyi gave Ye Wenxin a heads-up, telling her a general idea of things about Shura Hall’s Hall Master.

Shura Hall’s Hall Master Bai Chi, with the alias ‘Heartless’, was known as the Heartless Demon Master, her martial arts rumored to rank ninth in the world.

Her cultivation technique was as mentioned in the previous chapter. Shura Hall’s cultivation method was originally derived from the cultivation method practiced by the Demon Race. However, due to significant side effects when humans practiced it, it was gradually modified by successive Hall Masters of Shura Hall and replaced with a dual cultivation method.

If one learned this cultivation method, yet did not find a dual cultivation partner or human furnace to vent, the demonic power of the cultivation method would permeate, and they would gradually lose their emotions. Shura Hall’s Hall Master was in this exact situation, she already lost a human’s most basic emotions: joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure, and because she liked digging out the heart of every person she killed, she was thus given the title ‘Heartless Demon Master’.

“Has your Master always been single? She hasn’t even found a human furnace?” Ye Wenxin already understood to some extent before, but what came out from Luo Miaoyi’s mouth was different from what she heard outside.

In the rumors, Bai Chi was said to have defeated ten thousand people in wrestling, but now, Luo Miaoyi was telling Ye Wenxin that her Hall Master was still a virgin, making it hard for Ye Wenxin to believe the truth of this fact.

“Yes, why else would Master make herself look so miserable?” Luo Miaoyi’s voice grew louder, seeming very excited. Ye Wenxin could tell there was more and waited for the following words.

“If not for the Demon Lord, that woman who’s simply worse than a beast!”

Ye Wenxin suddenly jumped upon hearing the two words “Demon Lord”, she had thought her name would be mentioned again at some point, but she never expected it would be from Luo Miaoyi’s mouth.

Furthermore, Luo Miaoyi was full of ire.

“Let me interrupt for a bit. Is this Demon Lord you speak of that Demon Lord?” To not get innocently caught in the crossfire, Ye Wenxin put forward a question.

Maybe, during the nearly one year she was gone, the demon sects had found a new Demon Lord to replace her.

“Except for Gu Qingcheng, who else would dare to proclaim themselves as Demon Lord?” Luo Miaoyi’s tone grew harsher, as if to her, Demon Lord Gu Qingcheng was the scum of all scums, wicked beyond redemption.

This was more incomprehensible to Ye Wenxin, “But as far as I know, the Demon Lord had already been gone for almost a year, why would she come to abuse your Master?” Ye Wenxin cautiously investigated in detail, squeezing out a faint smile.

Luo Miaoyi was busily cursing up a storm and did not notice Ye Wenxin’s weird expression, continuing, “Miss Ye, you stepped into the Martial World quite late so you wouldn’t know. Although this Demon Lord Gu Qingcheng seems like a prominent figure among the demon sects, in truth, she’s extremely obsessed with women, not only did she not let go of her adopted daughter, but she’s even involved with the Golden Age Dynasty’s Eldest Princess. Not only that, there are also over a dozen young women who had abortions for her……”

“Wait a minute, you’re getting more and more off track. How can women have children with other women!” Ye Wenxin immediately interjected. She thought that after running away these rumors would calm down, why had the matters between her, her goddaughter, and her best friend grown more outrageous?

“I don’t know. Anyway, I heard this from other people, that this Demon Lord is truly despicable!” Luo Miaoyi was shocked at first and then cursed Demon Lord Gu Qingcheng even more determinedly.

Ye Wenxin’s heart was bleeding, weeping, and shouting, but as if unable to perceive how pitiful, puny and helpless she was, Luo Miaoyi recounted the various rumors she had picked up from the outside world.

They walked slower and slower, in the end, Luo Miaoyi directly pulled Ye Wenxin to sit down on the side to tell a story.

In this story, to satisfy her desires, the Demon Lord established a mighty yuri harem. Ye Wenxin could not laugh or cry, “This is completely false!”

“It’s not like you’re the Demon Lord, why do you say it’s false?”

Luo Miaoyi retorted with dissatisfaction, revealing a rare strong side. Ye Wenxin only felt her blood pressure rising, as if the Qi Deviation symptoms that had not afflicted her for a long time were making a reappearance; she was so infuriated, wanting so much to wipe out the person who circulated the rumors.

“It’s more than that. Someone personally witnessed her abandoning her adopted daughter Liu Churan for a black-clothed young woman. Sigh, that Liu Churan was also born under an ill star, after seeing herself being abandoned like some toy, she resigned from the position of Saintess and went into closed-door training.”

“No no no, you must have misunderstood something there.” Ye Wenxin recalled her Tribulation, not only did she cause Hei Tong to transform into a human, but she had even attracted Liu Churan over, as a result, Liu Churan trapped her, and she almost lost her innocence.

The more she mulled it over, the more wronged she felt, while Luo Miaoyi became increasingly energetic as she spoke. It was at this time, that the two of them sensed a chilling aura, and at another look, Qian Bingxue dressed in white showed up.

Her face was cold as frost, her brows slightly furrowed, seeming very displeased.

As soon as Luo Miaoyi saw Head Senior Sister Qian Bingxue had arrived, she immediately stood up, the fear in her eyes undoubtedly petty. She was just about to chew out Shura Hall’s Hall Master and Demon Lord Gu Qingcheng, but fortunately, judging from Qian Bingxue’s reaction, she did not hear the conversation.

Ye Wenxin was relieved to see Qian Bingxue, she got up and heard Qian Bingxue say, “Master is looking for you.”

Despite only Ye Wenxin’s name being mentioned, Luo Miaoyi still followed them.

With the addition of Qian Bingxue, Luo Miaoyi dared not to resume gossiping, and Ye Wenxin’s ears were finally free. She mused whether she needed to use Demon Lord Gu Qingcheng’s identity to cause some ruckus, in case those brats in the Martial World forgot how horrifying she was and gossiped behind her back every day.

Right before they were about to arrive, Qian Bingxue suddenly halted. Ye Wenxin who was following right behind almost bumped into her, but she stopped swiftly and maintained a safe distance from Qian Bingxue.

Luo Miaoyi behind her was unprepared, she directly collided with Ye Wenxin, once again forcefully pushing Ye Wenxin forward, leaving one step of distance between her and Qian Bingxue.

Her face remained incomparably cool and graceful, but due to Ye Wenxin’s closeness, she subconsciously made a retreating motion.

“Sorry, I didn’t notice you two have stopped.” Luo Miaoyi just then noticed the disaster she caused. Qian Bingxue was an icy flower atop a high peak who usually hated physical contact with people.

Now that Luo Miaoyi had committed this one blunder, she feared Qian Bingxue would dispose of her.

But the punishment she anticipated did not happen; Qian Bingxue simply swept her cold gaze over once, finally fixing on Ye Wenxin.

“Don’t bring up this Demon Lord Gu Qingcheng person in front of Master,” Qian Bingxue suddenly said. Ye Wenxin thought this was more unfathomable, while Luo Miaoyi’s neck shrank down more severely, realizing that Qian Bingxue had long overheard their conversation earlier.

It was just that, for some reason, Qian Bingxue had not prevented her from continuing.

“Why?” Even so, Ye Wenxin still asked without fear of death. At her back, Luo Miaoyi was tugging hard, but Ye Wenxin shook off her sleeve in disapproval.

“I will kill her sooner or later.”

“???”

Qian Bingxue started to move forward again after throwing this one sentence, further mystifying Ye Wenxin.

“What the hell happened between you all? If you don’t make things clear, I might accidentally blurt them out.” Ye Wenxin could not help stopping. Luo Miaoyi bumped into her again, clutching her nose in some pain.

“Well.”

“You tell her.” Qian Bingxue halted again; considering Ye Wenxin would also become a member of Shura Hall in the future, she indeed had the right to know the truth.

“Our Master was originally a heartless person. This old fart Demon Lord unexpectedly wanted to pursue her, sent her love letters back and forth, even asking Master for personal items to comfort herself with, as a result, my Master got so upset she nearly fell into Qi Deviation, and she had yet to recover to this day,” Luo Miaoyi let this all out indignantly, yet Ye Wenxin was dumbstruck.

She had no clue about this matter of her pursuing Shura Hall’s Hall Master. In Ye Wenxin’s memories, it was Shura Hall’s Hall Master that kept pestering her daily, saying shameless things like ‘hug me, lift me high’ with a blank face.

How come all the truth was reversed now that it came from Shura Hall’s mouth?

The more Ye Wenxin thought about it, the less she understood, but seeing Luo Miaoyi’s enthusiasm, she felt reluctant to disturb her enjoyment, so she continued to listen to the rest of this dog-blooded story. It was more marvelous than a soap opera, which made Ye Wenxin feel that the author of some romance website had also come to this world.

“That’s enough. We’re going in,” Qian Bingxue’s voice sounded once more, only this time she had deliberately stopped for a while; although she did not show it, she seemed very interested in this dog-blooded content. Luo Miaoyi instantly shut her mouth, and the three finally continued on their way, eventually reaching the great hall.
