"The shopkeeper, who are those people?" the demonic woman called the shopkeeper over to inquire.
The shopkeeper wiped his sweat, "There are so many guests coming and going here. Not everyone's identity is known. I don't know about these four guests."
The demonic woman had thought they were regulars from the area, but it seemed they had just come from outside, attracted by the reputation of the place.
Indeed, the shopkeeper didn't know. Gu Yao and his group hadn't used their original token, so how the shopkeeper could discern their identities was something even Zhang Qianfeng might not be able to do.
Outside the restaurant, Tian Feirong chuckled again, "That demonic woman is truly beautiful. She's probably specialized in cultivating the Yin energy with Yang energy. Gu Yao, you're in trouble. It's obvious she's not stable; knowing about the top-quality Nascent Soul Pill, she's definitely targeting you. Chi-ge, you need to be careful."
Gu Yao landed a punch on Tian Feirong, causing him to yelp in pain.
The four of them joked around and didn't take this matter to heart. With their current status and background, even Nascent Soul cultivators could be turned away, let alone just a Golden Core cultivator from the demonic path. After all, Gu Yao ultimately belonged to the righteous path.
The four of them roamed outside for several days and even made a trip to Baihe City. They had originally planned to play around until after the auction ended before returning, but then they received a piece of news from Liu Wangyue that left them speechless on the spot.They came to play in Baihe City, but Lord Liu Shao was actually on the other side of Baishang City. She said, "A demonic woman from the demonic path is openly expressing love for you, the ancient alchemist. She's willing to be just a named servant girl."
One is a bewitching demonic woman, the other is a renowned genius alchemist whose fame resounds throughout the continent. Once this news spread in Baishang City, it quickly became the talk of the town. This demonic woman was openly offering herself to the ancient alchemist. Where did she place Chi Changye?
Now, who didn't know that Chi Changye and Gu Yao were cultivation partners?
Some were eager to watch the excitement, while many female cultivators angrily criticized the shamelessness of the demonic woman. Regardless of the type of person, they all made a big fuss about this matter.
Chi Changye's face darkened. If the demonic woman were in front of him right now, she would probably be chopped into pieces immediately.
Gu Yao was speechless and replied via messaging, "We're just playing in Baihe City."
Liu Wangyue suddenly understood. Looking at the demonic woman's cultivation level, she could guess why she was acting so ostentatiously. She wasn't interested in Gu Yao himself, but in the pills in Gu Yao's possession. However, as Gu Yao had been away from Baishang City recently, the demonic woman probably couldn't find a way to approach him, so she resorted to saying those things. The demonic woman was always unrestrained and probably wanted to force Gu Yao to appear.
With Gu Yao gone, where could the demonic woman find Gu Yao himself?
Liu Wangyue hurried over as soon as she received the message, which didn't match her usual temperament.
Normally, she would turn a blind eye to the minor conflicts between the righteous and demonic paths, as someone was always there to keep things in check. But this time, what the demonic woman did made her very angry. Knowing that Gu Yao already had a cultivation partner, she deliberately said such things. It was disgusting. Did she really think any man could be seduced by her?"Ancient Alchemist, what should we do about this?" Liu Wangyue was really worried for Gu Yao. After this news spread, people really thought Gu Yao was a fickle person. The reason so many cultivators were gleefully discussing this matter was because it had taken on a layer of scandalous implications.
Chi Changye bowed his head and wiped his Purple Thunder Sword. He seemed to be ignoring Liu Wangyue's words, but then he said fiercely, "Just chop her down!"
Liu Wangyue blinked. It was quite satisfying, but was that the right thing to do? She heard that this demonic woman had a Nascent Soul master behind her.
Gu Yao massaged his temples in frustration. Faced with such a situation, he didn't know what to do either. He didn't need Chi Changye to intervene; he could have dealt with the demonic woman on his own.
Originally, he had wanted to make up his mind to avoid this demonic woman. Now, it was causing a city-wide uproar. If he continued to stay out of sight, would people think he was afraid of her?
"Let's forget it. Let's go back and explain the situation, so it doesn't continue to be a problem."
"Okay." Chi Changye immediately sheathed his sword and stood up, moving with such agility that made Liu Wangyue suspect that he was eager to take Gu Yao back to Baishang City right away.Tian Feirong and Xiaopangzi dared not to make jokes at this time. They obediently packed up their belongings and quickly followed Gu Yao back.
This demonic woman really courted death, provoking Chi Changye's anger without considering the consequences. Did she think Chi-ge was a delicate and considerate male cultivator? Just as they entered Baishang City, Liu Wangyue suddenly received a message. After reading it, her expression changed. "Hu Mei found some cultivators to smash that demonic woman's door."
Gu Yao was initially quite angry, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh bitterly, "What are we waiting for? Let's go take a look."
Liu Wangyue couldn't help but smile. She had to admit, Hu Mei's approach was satisfying. They should be tough and assertive.
When they arrived at the residence of the demonic cultivator, they saw that the courtyard door had indeed been smashed to pieces, with spiritual light occasionally emanating from inside. The sound of quarreling could be heard from afar, attracting many cultivators to come and watch. There was no space left on the ground, and some cultivators even flew into the air.
"I'm telling you, if you have any ideas about Master Gu Yao again, I'll scratch your face and see if you still have the capital to seduce people!"
"Oh, little sister, are you also interested in Master Gu Yao? Okay, I don't mind having one more little sister."
A figure flashed past, and with a "crack," the entire courtyard below turned into dust. The cultivators inside didn't expect this at all and immediately fled without caring about their dispute.It's really strange. The cultivators brought by Hu Mei managed to run out smoothly, but on the side of the demonic cultivator, one came out and was kicked back in. Inside, the sound of "ouch" and muttering continued.
At this point, the onlookers finally saw the figure standing in the sky clearly: a cultivator with a cold complexion exuding an icy aura. The cultivators who were originally gathered in the sky quickly retreated, suddenly making space for him.
The demonic cultivator was staying at an inn, and the building was flattened. The innkeeper ran out with a mournful face, wanting to find the troublemaker for justice. Their inn also had some backing, but when they saw the stern cultivator standing above, they subconsciously wanted to run back.
Oh dear, they've provoked a fierce god. Isn't that Chi Changye? How dare the demonic woman compete with Chi Changye for a man? Isn't she asking for trouble?
"That's Chi Changye!"
"Oh, Master Gu Yao is here too!"
"Shh, keep it down." They enjoyed watching the excitement, but if they offended Master Gu Yao because of this, it would not be worth it.
A fragrant breeze swept over, and without needing to look, everyone guessed that it was the demonic woman coming out. Just as they were about to see how Chi Changye and Gu Yao would handle the situation, Chi Changye moved again. Others only saw a lingering shadow, then a "bang" and a cry of pain as the woman was kicked back, her once beautiful face turning pale. There was no hesitation due to her status, and the kick may have been even more ruthless.
Hu Mei was a little dazed at first, not understanding what was happening. Now, hearing the others' exclamations and seeing the person in the sky clearly, as well as witnessing Chi Changye kicking the demonic woman, she immediately cheered and clapped her hands. Others might think this man was so rude and violent towards female cultivators, which was truly lacking in manners, but Hu Mei just wanted to cheer."Great, well done! Senior Chi should really give this kind of person a good beating. Does she think any man who sees her face won't be able to walk away?""Yes, Senior Chi did a great job. Let's see if this demonic woman still has the face to seduce our Master Gu." This was another member brought by Hu Mei to join the fight, also a female demonic cultivator.
"That's right. Someone like her still wants to be a maid by Master Gu's side? She should take a look in the mirror and see if she's even worthy. She's so ugly!" This was said by a burly female demonic cultivator, making the other cultivators feel embarrassed. Although they didn't approve of the woman's actions, they couldn't bring themselves to agree that she was ugly.
Gu Yao glanced at the female demonic cultivator. Perhaps her race valued strength and robustness as beauty.
He flew over and stopped Chi Changye from continuing to kick people. Indeed, such actions from a YuanYing stage cultivator were considered undignified by others, so Gu Yao couldn't let Chi Changye handle it alone.
The two stood side by side in the air, causing discussions among the cultivators below. Some had only seen images of them before and found the real sight even more impressive. Although both were men, they gave off a sense of perfect harmony between strength and gentleness, especially with their handsome appearances. Suddenly inserting a female cultivator seemed a bit jarring.
At this time, both the demonic cultivators and the practitioners of the demonic path arrived in force. Hu Mei led the demonic cultivators to disrupt the scene of the demonic path, so naturally, the leaders of the demonic path had to come out to maintain order. Otherwise, where would they put their faces? The leaders of the demonic cultivators also hurriedly brought people over upon receiving the news, making sure that nothing happened to Hu Mei. Otherwise, it would cause a huge uproar among the elders of the fox clan.The arrival of the big shots from both sides finally saved the demonic woman from being kicked again. She ran out with a disheveled appearance, never expecting to encounter a ruthless man like Chi Changye, and she hated it.
"Do you think our demonic path is so easy to bully? Today, you demonic cultivators must give us an explanation, or else our demonic cultivators will come to your territory to make a mess another day!"
"Pah!" Hu Mei immediately retorted, "If this demonic woman hadn't spoken nonsense, would I care what she does?"
"Master Gu, I only admire your talent and am willing to serve you as a slave or maid." After brushing off the dust, the demonic woman looked at Gu Yao, who stood with Chi Changye, with tears in her eyes. The tears, combined with her charm technique, evoked pity and made people want to comfort her.
"Hmph!" A cold snort immediately dispelled the atmosphere created by the demonic woman. It was Gu Yao speaking. "I don't care what you think. I only know that your actions have caused me trouble, disregarding others' feelings and indulging in your charm and appearance. Today, I will teach you a lesson. I reject all dealings with the demonic path this time. Let's go!"
His words were resolute.
The demonic woman was dumbfounded.
The demonic cultivators were all dumbfounded.
