Chapter 5 - A True Demoness
The news of what Luo Wusheng had done in the Spiritual Hall spread very quickly in the Demon Sect.
In less than an hour, most of the disciples in the Demon Sect knew that something big had happened in the Spiritual Hall
The Holy Saint, Luo Wusheng, took on the task of becoming the new head of the Demon Artifact Pavilion, and frightened the former Holy Saint candidate to the point of losing control of his bladder.
Both incidents were good topics for jokes.
Although some newly recruited disciples were curious about why the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect would take on such a lowly task, they were all relieved after being explained by some senior disciples.
The Holy Saint of the Demon Sect was always someone who acted without thinking, which could be described as either acting on whims or being foolish.
So while this incident was not in line with common sense, it was consistent with the personality of Luo Wusheng in the Demon Sect.
However, the later incident surprised some disciples who thought they knew Luo Wusheng well.
Because that Holy Saint never did anything to scare people, he usually just went straight to fight.
Moreover, most of the time the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect didn’t care about these rumors and gossip, which led to his former subordinates developing a bad habit of seeking superiority in places where he couldn’t see them.
Perhaps this Holy Saint was just in a bad mood.
These little details were not really important to anyone.
At this moment, standing at the bow of the huge spiritual boat, Luo Wusheng looked out at the vast sea.
The Three Thousand Demon Domain and the Immortal Nation are located on different continents, separated by the sea called the “Endless Sea”.
Although cultivating to the Foundation Establishment realm grants the ability to levitate, crossing the Endless Sea would require at least the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul realm.
Below the Nascent Soul realm, one would need to rely on the Sea-Crossing Boat beneath their feet to travel between the two lands.
Luo Wusheng scanned the people on the boat with his eyes.
There were only a few scattered disciples from the Demon Sect, and they all had worried expressions— They really didn’t seem to like the Royal City.
The main occupants of the boat were cultivators from the peripheral areas of the Three Thousand Demon Domain.
Some were unable to join the Demon Sect and had to return to the Immortal Nation to make a living in the world.
Some were here to sell elixirs from the Immortal Nation and make a profit from the Demon Sect disciples.
The most pitiful were a few volunteers who bravely came to cultivate with the female disciples of the [Joyful Lotus Domain]. A Domain where most of the disciples were cultivators who specialized in Dual Cultivation technique, in other words, Xianxia version of succubus.
At this moment, they were all lying on the deck with vacant eyes, exhausted.
Their cultivation may have improved a bit, but exhaustion was also a fact.
The female disciples of the [Joyful Lotus Domain] have always welcomed these scattered cultivators, as they were generally not as crude as the disciples of the Demon Sect and had more varied kink.
However, their physical endurance could not compare to the rough and tough cultivators of the Demon Sect, as they couldn’t handle continuous dual cultivation for more than three days.
Luo Wusheng couldn’t help but sigh at this point, realizing that there are no bad lands, only tired cows.
He was casually observing the group of cultivators groaning on the ground when he suddenly felt that the surroundings had quieted down.
Luo Wusheng’s heart moved, and his gaze followed the crowd, quickly finding the reason.
A white-haired, white-robed figure with a Star-Moon Jade ornament on her head, resembling a goddess descending from the heavens, was approaching the Sea-Crossing Boat with light steps.
The crowd around was mesmerized by such beauty, even forgetting to breathe.
“Is— is that the rumored Demon Sect Holy Maiden?”
“She’s so— so beautiful!”
“What is that on the Holy Maiden’s head? A headdress? How can there be such beautiful jade stones?”
“Holy Maiden— hehe, Holy Maiden, hehehe…”
Even the scattered cultivators lying like corpses next to Luo Wusheng were wide-eyed in amazement.
“Damn it! Brother, quickly, help me up! I can still make another attempt!” One of the lying corpses wriggled on the ground.
‘No, you can’t…’
In his heart, Luo Wusheng silently mocked the lying corpse, then also seized up Bai Xiaoyao..
‘Very beautiful.’
He praised her in his heart, but silently added, ‘Unfortunately, she’s a member of the Demon Sect.’
But why would Bai Xiaoyao come here?
As he watched his Junior Sister slowly approach with a few disciples of the Demon Sect, a flash of realization suddenly came to Luo Wusheng’s mind.
He shifted his gaze away from Bai Xiaoyao and looked at the few Demon Sect disciples behind her, then locked his eyes on a plain-looking female disciple.
This female disciple was wearing a dark red robe of the Demon Sect, with a plain wooden sword at her waist. She looked ordinary and unremarkable, and seemed completely unnoticed as she stood behind Bai Xiaoyao.
But when she met Luo Wusheng’s gaze, she immediately raised her head and looked at him, then lowered it as if nothing had happened.
Luo Wusheng was sure.
This unremarkable-looking girl was the real protagonist of the original story.
A disciple of the Sword Sect, the future cultivator who would be hailed as the [Sword Fairy], Lu Yuliu.
Her current appearance was a disguise, and if she revealed her true face, those lying dead on the deck would probably never forget this day.
Well, it’s also possible that they would have died due to blood lost on the spot right here.
“It looks like because I gave the Blood Spirit Jade early, the time for this person’s return trip has also been advanced…”
Luo Wusheng muttered to himself.
He could anticipate the change in the plot direction, and he was happy to change it.
If he followed the original plotline, his time of death would really be in a year.
But it felt like there would be trouble being on the same boat as the world’s original protagonist, wouldn’t he die before he could even achieve his goals?
At this moment, Bai Xiaoyao also saw Luo Wusheng standing at the bow of the ship.
Her eyes brightened, and after a few words with the people behind her, she lightly stepped on her small feet in gold-bordered white boots, and gracefully landed in front of Luo Wusheng as her clothes fluttered.
“Hehe, Senior Brother Wusheng, long time no see~” the demoness said playfully.
“If Senior Brother hasn’t remembered wrongly, we just separated a little over an hour ago.” Luo Wusheng put on a Senior Brother’s demeanor and shook his head with a smile, “Why did you suddenly come to this side of the sea today?”
As he spoke, his peripheral vision was still locked on the girl who seemed to be the real protagonist, until she boarded the ship and disappeared from his sight with those few disciples of the Demon Sect.
“I’m sending a few little disciples from the [Little Demon Domain] to train in the Immortal Nation— After all, I’m not like Senior Brother, who completely disregards the life and death of his own Somain’s disciples, even cruelly leaving them behind to run off to the Immortal Nation.” Bai Xiaoyao teased, “Even I, your junior sister, think that the disciples of the Netherworld Domain are really pitiful~”
“If you really feel sorry for them, why not bring them to the [Little Demon Domain]? That’s their lifelong dream, after all.”
Hearing his junior sister’s words, Luo Wusheng rolled his eyes and retorted.
The distance between them seemed to have grown a bit closer without them realizing it.
“Hehe, if Senior Brother Wusheng asks me, Junior Sister wouldn’t mind considering it~” Bai Xiaoyao said, slightly pausing and lowering her voice: “…is it true that you’re going to become the next head of the Demon Artifact Pavilion?”
“It is true,” Luo Wusheng nodded.
“Well then, I’ve decided, I’m going to the Demon Artifact Pavilion too!”
“???”
Luo Wusheng was left with question marks in his mind and didn’t know how to respond.
But then he saw Bai Xiaoyao stand on her tiptoes and quickly approach his ear with her delicate face.
“I’m just kidding,” she whispered.
Feeling the warm breath on his ear, Luo Wusheng’s body shivered slightly.
By the time he regained his senses, the demoness had already disappeared into the shadows.
‘What a seductive demoness…’
Luo Wusheng couldn’t help but sigh at how he would have been completely entranced by her if he didn’t know she was a member of the protagonist’s harem and a demoness.
Suppressing the desires rising in his heart, Luo Wusheng glanced around and realized that everyone was looking at him.
Their gazes were filled with sadness, jealousy, pain, and incomprehension.
He could almost hear the sound of their hearts breaking.
Although he knew they had misunderstood something, Luo Wusheng didn’t bother to explain.
It felt pretty good to be the center of attention.
