Chapter 838: Outlandish Friends (2/2)

Old Demon Desire turned to Tang Wulin with a smug expression. ”You're really curious about what happens after someone fails my trial, right?”

Tang Wulin's heart tightened as he turned to her with an enraged expression. ”What are you going to do?”

Old Demon Desire chuckled, ”You'll know soon enough; just keep watching.”

After a long while, Yue Zhengyu let loose a blissful m.o.a.n, and sighed, ”I love you, Xiaoyan. I'll take responsibility for you, and I'll follow you to the ends of this world.”

”Are you really willing to take responsibility for me?”

The image became clear again, and both Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan had already put on their clothes. When Xu Xiaoyan asked that question, her voice was already beginning to change, and her original enticing voice had turned harsh and raspy like the unpleasant cries of a crow.

Right before Yue Zhengyu's astonished eyes, Xu Xiaoyan's body slowly became transparent before she transformed into an old woman.

The old woman cackled, ”Young bodies really are the best! I'm Old Demon Desire; welcome to my trial of love and boundless desire. Do you still love me?”

Yue Zhengyu stared at the old woman with a horrified expression, and his complexion alternated between red and purple. All of a sudden, he threw up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

”Snap!” Old Demon Desire snapped her fingers, and said, ”That's the effect I was looking for!”

Tang Wulin turned to her with a furious expression. ”You...”

Old Demon Desire turned to him with a smile on her face. ”There are no limits to human desires. It's not a bad thing to have desires, but one must constantly exercise restraint. Even when satisfying one's desires, one must make sure to retain a shred of mental clarity. This is what he gets for not being able to control himself. You were lucky you had that pendant. Otherwise, you'd be in the same situation as him right now.”

Pink light flashed as her voice trailed off, and she abruptly vanished along with the six light screens.

Old Demon Desire was the fifth demon.

Tang Wulin couldn't help but shudder as he thought of the ordeal that Yue Zhengyu had just suffered. Unbeknownst to him, he had just made love to an old demon, rather than the woman that he loved. This was undoubtedly going to deal him a major blow. If he were in Yue Zhengyu's shoes, he would also find it very difficult to get over this.

Could Yue Zhengyu be blamed for not having enough willpower? Tang Wulin didn't believe that to be the case because he hadn't been able to hold himself back, either. One could only say that Yue Zhengyu loved without any inhibitions. Yuanen Yehui, Xie Xie, Xu Lizhi, and Ye Xinglan were only able to pass this trial due to the special dynamics in their relationsh.i.p.s, and Xu Xiaoyan had simply been lucky as Old Demon Desire had become too impatient when dealing with her. Only then had she been able to spot a fallacy in the fake Yue Zhengyu's character.

However, Yue Zhengyu was not so lucky, and this was definitely going to be a very traumatizing experience for him. Tang Wulin didn't even know how he was going to be able to face Xu Xiaoyan in the future. At the very least, if he were in Yue Zhengyu's shoes, he wouldn't know how to live with himself. This was truly an arduous trial of love!

Zhengyu, you have to stay strong!

It was undoubtedly the case that Old Demon Desire wouldn't allow him to meet Yue Zhengyu and tell him the truth. The reality was that he hadn't done anything other than essentially relieve himself to an illusion of Xu Xiaoyan, but feelings were all so realistic. Tang Wulin could still clearly recall how much it had hurt when he'd pinched himself on the inside of his own leg.

Everything around him warped once again, and Tang Wulin returned to the valley that they'd first arrived at.

He looked around to find that he was the only one here. He naturally didn't think that the old demons would let him off the hook like this, so what was next?

Right at this moment, a loud string of thuds rang out as if there were a giant beast making its way toward him.

”You've passed, young man.” A deep voice rang out, immediately following which a massive old man emerged from the forest.

Massive was truly an adjective that applied to him. This old man was over three meters tall and extremely rotund. His skin was heavily wrinkled with age, but he still looked slightly younger than all of the other old demons, with the exception of the youthful version of Old Demon Desire.

He'd passed? What did that mean?
