Are There Only Demonesses Left in the Cultivation Realm?

The bamboo in the distance shattered as if someone had crushed it with immense force.

Su Youwan didn’t turn around, instead continuing, "This was all for you."

Xia Lianxue fought back the urge to hit someone. "How far did you go?"

"We didn’t do anything. We just held each other. I was helping him conceal his fate."

After a pause, Su Youwan added, "We held each other... wearing only our undergarments."

’Holding each other practically naked, and you did nothing?’

How could Xia Lianxue possibly believe that?

’If it were her, she would have definitely put her hands all over Young Master Lu and taken full advantage of the situation.’

’But... Su Youwan didn’t seem like the type to steal someone’s man.’

The Little Fairy finally let out a sigh of relief. "It was just an emergency. Since Miss Su is from the Compassionate Palace and practices the Supreme Dao of Forgetfulness, it’s best to forget this matter. It wouldn’t be good for your future Cultivation."

Su Youwan took two steps forward. "That’s what I thought at first, too. That Young Master Lu and I were merely friends, and our skin-to-skin contact was just a desperate measure in a moment of crisis, not something I truly wanted."

Xia Lianxue narrowed her eyes. "That’s for the best."

Qiu Yuehan thought to herself, ’There’s definitely a ’but’ coming.’

"But..."

’And there it is.’

"But Young Master Lu ate my emotions." Su Youwan lowered her head. From the other two’s perspective, she actually looked a little heartbroken.

It was only then that Xia Lianxue and Qiu Yuehan noticed that this Female Bodhisattva was no longer carrying her birdcage.

The Little Fairy in a White Skirt asked blankly, "What do you mean?"

"The cage held my emotions. It was... part of my preparations for the Seventh Realm. Now, Young Master Lu has eaten them."

Xia Lianxue understood.

’So she’s trying to latch onto my man.’

’No way!’

Xia Lianxue said coldly, "I will find you a new Daoist Technique for your breakthrough. There’s no need to trouble Young Master Lu. Yes, the Miao Yu Palace can devote all its resources to helping you."

Unexpectedly, the Silver-haired Maiden just shook her head. "That’s not what I mean."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Since Young Master Lu ate my emotions, he will now have many improper thoughts about me. For a time, his mind might even be completely filled with me. As for what he might do to me after that... I don’t know either."

Of course, Lu Changyuan had no such thoughts. He had already refined the Little Bodhisattva’s emotions along with the Desire Demon. Su Youwan was purely spouting nonsense.

But Xia Lianxue and Qiu Yuehan were completely taken in by her story. After all, it sounded plausible.

The idea of eating someone’s emotions was unheard of; there was no precedent for it in the entire Cultivation Realm.

The Little Fairy gritted her teeth. ’She could kick out a little hussy trying to climb into his bed, but what if Young Master Lu himself was the one pinning the hussy down? How could she stop that?’

Su Youwan was still talking. "And that’s not all. Because Young Master Lu consumed my emotions, I am now too far removed from them... You’ve never experienced it, but I can describe the feeling for you. My mind is in turmoil, and it’s easy to Fall into Demon."

This, too, was utter nonsense.

Someone who practices the Supreme Dao of Forgetfulness doesn’t need emotions in the first place.

But neither Xia Lianxue nor Qiu Yuehan had ever practiced the Supreme Dao of Forgetfulness, so they truly didn’t know the ins and outs of it.

Qiu Yuehan felt the suffocating atmosphere lighten. Seeing her junior sister’s murderous expression, she spoke up. "So, what do you want?"

At this, Su Youwan finally stated her true purpose.

"I need to continue my Cultivation by his side. Once I reach the Seventh Realm and no longer need emotions at all, I can leave."

The silver-haired Bodhisattva said expressionlessly, "I have no interest in Young Master Lu. As long as Miss Xia keeps a close eye on her man, nothing will happen."

She practiced the Supreme Dao of Forgetfulness.

She certainly didn’t seem interested in men.

Her request sounded reasonable, and Xia Lianxue had no grounds to refuse. Besides, they weren’t in control of Celestial Mountain anyway.

And so, Celestial Mountain would have one more room, for the Little Ancestor of the Compassionate Palace to pursue her Cultivation.

[The Spirit Race is about to be annihilated]

[The Blood Demon is about to be unleashed]

Brilliant, golden words appeared before Lu Changyuan’s eyes.

Lu Changyuan thought, ’Just what are you? Come on, tell me. I got rid of the Desire Demon for you, and now you’re living parasitically on me. That makes me half your dad, so you should be honest with me.’

The cat inside his eyes went silent.

It seemed to be angry.

Lu Changyuan narrowed his eyes. They had exploded once while dealing with the Desire Demon, but had later reconstructed themselves.

He felt no discomfort. In fact, his vision was even clearer than before.

’The Spirit Race is about to be annihilated?’

’What’s that all about? Is the Nether Monarch going to kill every last member of the Spirit Race?’

As for the Blood Demon.

Lu Changyuan knew it was one of the Three Thousand Great Demons, but why would the words in his vision point out the Blood Demon’s existence now?

Based on past experience, if these two lines of text appeared, there was bound to be a connection between them.

Lu Changyuan thought again, ’Can you stop with all this and just tell me how to get back?’

"Mmm..."

The young woman had fallen asleep in his arms at some point, her long hair spilling naturally over his legs.

Her tranquil, sleeping face seemed to glow, as if to say she was just an adorable, powerless girl.

But that was an illusion.

’In my arms is a Female Monarch, a terrifying one at that.’

Yet Lu Changyuan still felt that the Nether Monarch’s sleeping face was the spitting image of Qiu Yuehan’s—unguarded, as innocent as a child’s, only to turn into a block of ice upon waking.

They were the same person, after all. The resemblance wasn’t surprising.

Lu Changyuan wasn’t curious about how the Nether Monarch had become Qiu Yuehan.

’Qiu Yuehan will wake up sooner or later, and I can just ask her then. I have her right in my grasp, so how can I not get the answer?’

’Looks like I really will have to use the Demon Pattern to control the Moon Fairy.’

Lu Changyuan’s hand brushed through the Nether Monarch’s hair. The young woman curled up tighter, tucking herself into a ball.

The Nether Monarch was, in fact, a very lonely person.
