Chapter 409 : Daily Life in a Demon Sect (19)
The man appeared to have been pleased, for he released Liu Xu’s neck. “You had better not be lying to me.”
“I wouldn’t dare…” Liu Xu spoke softly.
The man raised her chin and kissed her in a manner that was in no way gentle. By the time he released her, Liu Xu’s face was already flushed. She looked at the man with a subtle hint of seduction in her gaze.
“Once you’ve done this for me, I will marry you.” The man ignored Liu Xu and handed her a porcelain bottle. “Be good. Don’t do anything to make me unhappy.”
Liu Xu took the bottle from him. “Yes.”
The man soon left.
Liu Xu stood there holding the porcelain bottle for a moment before leaving too.
Shi Sheng remembered that in the plot, Liu Xu had poisoned Fu Yiyun too. This was the climax of the novel.
That poison was pretty powerful—there wasn’t an antidote to it. Fu Yiyun only survived because Bai Luo exchanged her blood for his, but as a result, it caused her features to turn ugly.
In novels like this, blood types weren’t taken into consideration. What Shi Sheng was more curious about was how they’d exchanged blood in the first place.
Shi Sheng found that Fu Yiyun was here too. Liu Xu pretended like nothing had happened and returned to his side, appearing very intimate with him.
Since Shi Sheng was standing too far away, she didn’t know what they were saying.
The leaders stood in the area closest to Mt. Di, their voices so soft to the point that even people using inner energy wouldn’t be able to hear them.
Shi Sheng scouted around the area a bit before returning to where the Demon Sect members had set up camp.
The Demon Sect members had hunted a rabbit from somewhere and were currently roasting it.
‘You people really aren’t nervous whatsoever ah!’
Since their camp lay behind the expedition force, they wouldn’t be found out unless someone was paying attention to this direction, so Shi Sheng allowed them to continue roasting the rabbit.
“Hmm mhm mhm…” Upon seeing Shi Sheng return, Jiang Zhan, who looked like he had been tied up into a dumpling, immediately struggled against his bindings.
Shi Sheng walked over to untie him.
“Pei pei! Wu Zheng, you dared to tie me up— Ow! What’re you doing?!” Jiang Zhan clutched his arm and retreated.
Shi Sheng spoke with a calm face, “Proving that not only do I dare tie you up, I dare to pinch you too.”
Jiang Zhan, “…”
‘This lunatic! She was detestable back when she was younger, and she’s still detestable even now!’
“Sect Master, please eat.” Ting Feng handed Shi Sheng a piece of meat that had just finished cooking.
Jiang Zhan lost his temper. “Ting Feng! I’m(lz) your Sect Master!”
Ting Feng hurriedly grabbed a rabbit’s leg from the side and handed it over to Jiang Zhan.
Shi Sheng, “…” ‘This retard.’
……
The expedition force didn’t move even when night fell.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Zhan’s closed eyes slowly opened. He nudged Ting Feng and Gu Yu, who were laying down beside him.
Because they’d only been dozing, they woke up very easily. Jiang Zhan lifted his index finger and placed it in front of his mouth in order to tell them to keep quiet.
Shi Sheng was leaning against a tree in the distance, her head turned the other way. Jiang Zhan observed her for a while, to make sure that her breathing was steady and that she was fast asleep, before slowly getting up and carefully sneaking out.
Ting Feng and Gu Yu exchanged glances before cautiously following. The three snuck to the edge of the camp and swiftly melded into the darkness.
Shi Sheng’s head moved, and she turned around. Her eyes were wide open. She watched them vanish into the night.
A few minutes later, she shut her eyes again.
The next day, the sect members discovered that their former Sect Master and both Sentinels had disappeared, only leaving behind the little puppy. This caused them to be very anxious.
