Chapter 71 : Another Type of Cultivation 20 (2/2)

Shi Sheng silently examined Jun Wuqi. This person was the Demon World’s Demon Lord, and at the same time… a love interest for the female lead.

When Jun Wuqi left the Demon World, he met Ye Qingqiu, who had come over to check out the situation with the seal. The two naturally progressed from there.

One of the main reasons why she was able to deal with the Demon World threat before ascending was Jun Wuqi’s help. And now that Jun Wuqi was at the crucial stage of breaking the seal on the Demon World, he only needed to find one person as the final step…

And quite coincidentally, that person just so happened to be Shi Sheng.

“I don’t like to waste my breath. I can help you break the seal but you have to agree to a condition.” The seal required Shang Shu’s blood to break but Shi Sheng wasn’t clear why either. ‘Maybe it’s because the plot needs it? Anyways, worlds created out of stories can’t be explained using common sense.’

“You can help me break the seal?” Jun Wuqi spoke seriously.

None of the previous Demon Lords had ever managed to break the seal yet now this woman who didn’t look old was telling him casually that she could break it…

Although it felt completely unbelievable, when he thought back to the strength she revealed just now, he became uncertain. ‘What if she really can?’

Shi Sheng smiled. “I know you don’t believe me. But it doesn’t matter. I can help you break the seal first then we discuss terms, how about it?”

Jun Wuqi’s biggest virtue was that he placed heavy importance on promises. Though, even if he didn’t keep his promise, there wasn’t much harm to Shi Sheng anyway. She had to go out sooner or later; this was just her taking advantage.

“Fine.” Jun Wuqi couldn’t speak harshly to her; after all, he witnessed her strength just now. He had a bad feeling when he saw her control those flames so naturally. His instincts told him not to provoke her.

Shi Sheng strode confidently to the lakeside before turning to look at Jun Wuqi. “Demon Lord, tell your people to get ready.”

“Hm?”

“Didn’t you instruct them to look for me?” Shi Sheng tugged on her lip. Completely ignoring any of Jun Wuqi’s reactions, she rolled up her sleeve and sliced her wrist. Fresh blood dripped into the lake and began diffusing…

Only at that time did Jun Wuqi react. He hurriedly got the Demon Race members in the shadows to come out and start casting techniques at the lake.

Seeing it was enough, Shi Sheng held her wrist as she retreated out of the range of their encirclement. Almost at the same time, Feng Ci appeared by her side and gripped her wrist as he asked nervously, “Does it hurt?”

Shi Sheng casually applied pressure to the wound. “Nope.”

This wound wasn’t much to look at compared to the injuries she had received before.

Feng Ci stopped her action before lifting her wrist and placing his lips on the wound. The tip of his tongue brushed gently over the wound and she could feel a cooling sensation from her wound.

By the time Feng Ci had finished licking off the blood on her wrist, the wound was already gone, leaving only skin as fair as jade.

“There won’t be a next time.” Feng Ci rolled down her sleeve, his expression dark. “I don’t like you getting injured, even it’s self-inflicted.”

Shi Sheng “…” ‘How am I(bbb) going to get out if I(bbb) don’t slit my wrist though?! I(bbb) don’t have the FL’s ability of ripping through space with my(bbb) bare hands!’

[1] This means they are not the freakish monsters cultivators made them out to be. Three heads and six arms is a common expression to describe someone or something that is freakishly abnormal/strong.

Author’s note:

Stop wondering why the main character is so OP. You can just drop the book if you don’t like this type. I don’t write growing-stage main characters… (I’m not going to admit it’s because I’ll end up with a broken character setting…)

This is not a book about a growing MC! This is not a book about a growing MC! This is not a book about a growing MC!

Now that I’ve repeated myself thrice, come and toss votes at me little angels! 2,000 of them and there’ll be another chapter.
