Chapter 166 - You Are My Heart (2/2)
With a swoosh, Yi Qing drew his sword and exuded a formidable aura. In a flash, he flew out of the sect.
Little bastard, just you wait and see.
——————
Two hours later, in the main hall of the Invincible Sect.
Yi Qing and Lonemoon were seated in a line on the right while Bitao, Feng Ying and Qi Chengyu were seated on the left. They were all looking at the demon in the middle, who had been beaten to a pulp.
Nobody said a word. The entire hall was filled with only the noise of Shen Ying chewing on her fruit while seated at the head.
“Who are you?” Lonemoon finally asked in a low voice. “You invaded Invincible Sect in the middle of the night. What was your motive?”
Lan Hua just felt like all of the bones in his body had been broken. He glared at Shen Ying and felt the resentment well up within him. Didn’t he tell her not to tell anyone else? Indeed, none of the immortal cultivators can be trusted!
“Speak!” Seeing that Lan Hua was not answering Lonemoon, Yi Qing raised his hand and formed five or six immortal swords with the immortal Qi around him. The swords charged toward Lan Hua, causing him to retreat until he could move back no further.
The wounds on Lan Hua’s body were hurting even more badly. Thinking about what happened back at Willow Forest made him want to vomit blood. He had been cultivating for so many years. Although he was not yet a Skyfiend, he was still comparable to a Celestial Emperor – and that was being humble. He had never expected that he would be so badly injured by a sword immortal! F*cking hell, sword immortals were really perverted. This one in particular!
He glanced at the immortal swords in front of him. He gritted his teeth, unwilling to take another beating. Indignantly, he revealed his identity, “My name is Lan Hua!” He laughed mirthlessly and looked directly and Lonemoon and Yi Qing, waiting for the fear and shock to show on their faces. That’s right! He’s Lan Hua! The Demon Prince Lan Hua!
“Lan Hua…” Lonemoon frowned. “Who?” What kind of stupid name was that? Why not Ye Hua?
“…” Lan Hua felt like he had been stabbed.
“Bitao, you’ve been in the immortal realm for the longest time. Have you heard of him?”
“Lan Hua… Lan…” Bitao lowered his head, deep in thought. After awhile, he looked up and confirmed, “Never.”
“…” Lan Hua felt like he had just been stabbed again.
“Impossible!” Now, he was panicking. He struggled to sit up. “Think carefully. I am the Demon Prince Lan Hua of the Heavens beyond Heaven! I was the one who challenged the ten Celestial Emperors a thousand years ago! How could none of you have heard of me?”
“We haven’t!” Everyone replied in unison, including Shen Ying, who was still eating her fruit.
“…” He really wanted to vomit blood!
Lonemoon: “There are Demonic Princes in the immortal realm?”
Bitao: “I’m hearing this for the first time as well.”
Qi Chengyu: “I guess there is. Wasn’t I a demon supremacy before?”
Shen Ying: “I’ve seen a demon king before.”
Yi Qing: “This one is probably too weak to be called a king!”
System: [Ding! Whether you add the “king” title or not, he’s still an ordinary man!]
Lan Hua: “…”
That’s enough! Enough of all these insults!
Lan Hua had been in hiding for several years and had become a demon tens of thousands of years ago. This was the first time he was hearing that his name was not known. What was the point of all the fighting, hiding and fear of being discovered by his enemies all these thousands of years? What exactly did he go through all of that for?
Demons were so hopeless…
“Cut to the chase!” Lonemoon was getting irritated now. He looked at the man was now beginning to resemble an eggplant. “You’ve invaded Invincible Sect twice now. What exactly do you want?”
Lan Hua tried not to show that his heart felt like it had been shattered into pieces. He glared at Shen Ying indignantly, surrendering to his fate. “Before this, I came to absorb all the demonic Qi and increase my cultivation level.”
“How about tonight?”
“For her!” He continued to look at Shen Ying. “I did not want to come here either, but she has something of mine.”
Lonemoon’s expression changed. That’s not right. Shen Ying had already handed over everything that he gave her. What else was she keeping for herself?
“What is it?”
The look Lan Hua gave Shen Ying spoke of volumes of injustice. He answered with two simple words, “My heart.”
Shen Ying: “…”
Lonemoon: “…”
There was a swoosh. Suddenly, an immortal sword was right at Lan Hua’s neck. Yi Qing’s sword Qi could be felt all around. Very deliberately, Yi Qing asked, “Do you want to be cut into multiple pieces?” Indeed, this is another little bastard who is trying to steal my master!
The group: “…”
Did they… just listen to the demonic prince’s extreme attempt to woo Shen Ying?
