Chapter 150 Give Choice
Liu Jun guarded Qing Liye for three days and three nights, but there was still no sign of him. However, his pulse was very steady. Liu Jun wondered when this guy would wake up.
Logically, Lu Xihan should be by his side at this time.
Because of this illness that occurs every year on the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, Lu Xihan took advantage of this and waited for that day to pick up the person and take good care of them.
Originally, I wanted to pretend I knew nothing so I could repay the favor, but who knew this guy had such a strange way of thinking, using the excuse that "she knows my secret" to make me even less willing to let her leave.
Then came another round of back-and-forth banter and arguments that lasted a long time. Over time, feelings naturally developed between them, albeit one-sided. It was all a game of strategy.
"Fuck!"
Liu Jun suddenly opened her eyes, abruptly ending her meditation and rest. She looked towards the bed, as if she had suddenly discovered some blind spot.
He scrambled to his feet, took only two steps forward, then suddenly stopped, remained silent for a few seconds, turned around, and walked out the door.
The sky over the Demon Realm is truly always gloomy, never clearing up or raining.
Living here for too long can make you sick from feeling cooped up.
Lu Xihan looked up at the sky and sighed again. She hadn't seen the Demon Lord for several days, and guessed that he was hiding because of his illness.
That secret, the secret hidden within Qing Liye, she missed this opportunity, and it will be even harder to find any leverage against him in the future.
Three days have passed since the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, and she still hasn't been able to find Qing Liye's whereabouts.
She had also been to the place where Wei Qiushuang found Qing Liye in the book, and even searched the surrounding area several times, but she hadn't seen a single person.
For the past three days, Lu Xihan had been squatting there waiting for someone, but he still hadn't seen a single penny.
"Could it be that the plot has been changed again?"
Her arrival has caused a truly enormous butterfly effect; many things that never happened in the book are now happening one by one.
For example, she was originally unwilling to go to Lingshui Demon Suppression, but her cheap master Fuyue insisted that she go, saying that she needed to go out and gain more experience, so she had no choice but to obey.
Who knew that I would be so unlucky as to be captured along with Wei Qiushuang, and that I would take Wei Qiushuang's place and become Qing Liye's servant? What kind of situation is this?
It's a good thing that the plot has changed; at least what she's done over the years hasn't been in vain, and her tragic end will also be different.
But what she wanted now was to leave this awful place as soon as possible. Let whoever wants to be a servant can be one; she didn't want to be targeted by that pervert Qing Liye. Just thinking about what Qing Liye did to Wei Qiushuang in the book sent chills down her spine.
She'd grab his neck and lock him in a dark room at the drop of a hat; whenever she was happy, angry, or in the mood, she'd want to "drive" (make suggestive remarks); and a simple kiss on the lips was considered mild.
If it weren't for wanting to leave this godforsaken place as soon as possible, Lu Xihan would have loved to be as far away from him as possible, preferably never to see him again. Anyone who hinders her cultivation deserves to die.
Lu Xihan still longs to ascend back to her original place as soon as possible. The cultivation world is great, where one can live for thousands or tens of thousands of years, but that's where everything she cares about is. Even if it's very ordinary and she only has a lifespan of a hundred years, she still wants to go back.
She really misses home and her family.
"Hey, who are you waiting for here?"
A clear voice suddenly came from behind, pulling Lu Xihan back from her reverie. Her expression hardened, and she turned around warily. She saw a simply dressed woman leaning against the same wall as her, greeting her with a smile.
Lu Xihan wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but if it weren't for that voice, she would have thought at first glance that it was just a very realistic doll.
The woman did look like a real person, but why did she give Lu Xihan the feeling that a doll had come to life, an inanimate object? This feeling was so strong that she was stunned for a long time without being able to react.
After three days of adjustment, Liu Junyou had adapted to the puppet body and no longer felt the noticeable inflexibility in his fingers and other small joints as when he first attached himself to it. It was now completely indistinguishable from a human body.
However, judging from Lu Xihan's expression, it seemed that wasn't the case. As expected, the main character could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with her.
Back when she was still in Lingshui, Lu Xihan was already close to breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, but she had been suppressing it. Now that she had become a servant and her spiritual power was locked, even a Qi Refining cultivator could crush her. Yet, she still saw through it at a glance. She was indeed deeply favored by the Heavenly Dao.
Lu Xihan remained wary: "Who... are you?"
Liu Jun crossed his arms and stared at her with a smile: "Who I am is not important. What's important is, are you waiting for someone here?"
Lu Xihan suppressed his emotions and said coldly, "What's it to you?"
Having said that, he was about to leave when Liu Jun, unsurprisingly, reached out to stop him and said calmly, "You want to leave the Demon King's Palace, leave this Demon Realm, don't you?"
Lu Xihan, who had only taken half a step, suddenly looked at her. Looking at this woman who was quite beautiful, her expression did not seem like she was joking.
Lu Xihan suddenly sneered: "Hmph, which of the immortal servants in this Demon King's Palace doesn't want to escape from here? I have no time to argue with you here, get out of the way!"
Liu Jun remained nonchalant: "Tsk, what's the rush? I have a way to get you out of here, or even out of the Demon Realm."
Lu Xihan frowned: "I don't know you, why are you helping me?"
Liu Jun blinked and laughed, "You don't know me, but I know you."
"I've heard of Venerable Fuyue's name for a long time, but I never expected that his newly accepted disciple would be captured and made a celestial slave in this Demon King's Palace."
"You know my master?"
Lu Xihan's brows relaxed slightly, but he did not lower his guard.
"We know each other, but I won't go into the past. Because of your master, I'm going to help you out. If you don't believe me, then I'm just meddling."
Liu Jun still had a smile on his face, but his eyes didn't show much emotion, making him hard to read.
Upon hearing the word "past events," Lu Xihan raised an eyebrow. Could it be... what she was thinking?
This woman possessed neither the aura of a cultivator nor that of a demon or monster; in fact, her aura was so faint that it was almost imperceptible. She resembled an inanimate object or someone on the verge of death. Yet, she stood there alive and well, and her complexion was excellent, showing no signs of someone on the verge of death.
Looking at Lu Xihan's expression, Liu Jun wondered if he had misunderstood, and sneered, "I do know Fu Yue, but it's only been a few brief encounters. A Venerable Realm expert is always worthy of respect, isn't he?"
Indeed, to be called a Venerable, one must possess the strength of the Mahayana stage. One of the five Venerables of the Xuanshan Sect is revered by all.
(As an aside, the number of people who can reach the Mahayana stage on the Yuanzhou Continent can be counted on one's fingers. As the number one sect, Xuanshan Sect has five Venerables, which already accounts for half of the Mahayana stage on the continent. Other sects have one or two, which makes them the three major sects. The rest are not counted, as they either live in seclusion or travel to other continents and have disappeared.)
Once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you can establish your own sect. In some sects, the Divine Transformation stage is considered the level of an ancestor. Sects with three or more Divine Transformation stage cultivators are renowned throughout the continent and have many families attached to them.
The status of those in the Divine Transformation Realm is evident, and it is not surprising that they have admirers and followers.
Regardless of what misunderstandings Lu Xihan may have, that's what she said; it's up to Lu Xihan to believe her or not.
Lu Xihan said coldly, "I still don't believe you. We only met for the first time a few minutes ago. Do you think I'll believe you without hesitation after just a few words from you?"
Liu Jun raised an eyebrow, not particularly surprised; everyone has a sense of caution.
Since she doesn't want to take the good path, let her take the old one.
"Qing Liye is in my room right now, he hasn't woken up yet. It's in the far left corner of the southeast corner of Qian Palace, room 51. Take him back."
"you……"
How did she know?
Lu Xihan hasn't revealed a single thing about what she's going to do to anyone else, how could that be?!
"I need to go to the market outside the palace. When I come back, I'd better not see him."
Liu Jun raised his arms and rested them behind his head, then slowly left, leaving Lu Xihan bewildered and confused in the wind.
Lu Xihan didn't chase after him to ask for clarification, nor did she dare to.
She said she had a past relationship with her master. Although Fu Yue always seemed unreliable, he was, after all, a Venerable One, and his age was unknown, but it must have been at least a thousand years.
Was the old monster's acquaintance really just someone she "admired" or "met a few times" as she claimed?
Lu Xihan felt a chill run down her spine, unsure whether what she was doing was a good thing or a bad thing. Maybe the other person really just wanted to help her out?
