Zhang Yuan glanced at the cold red eyes of the woman who was keeping her black hand on Ming Yuelin's neck, a dark energy swirling out of her hand.
Glancing at Zhang Yuan, a flash of surprise passed through the woman's eyes seeing his handsome face but then her gaze narrowed. "Don't move or I will kill her."
"MASTTTERRR!" Ming Yuelin screamed as she could feel the sinister energy radiating from the woman's hand, which was near her neck.
Zhang Yuan just showed a faint smile and walked towards the nearby couch as he sat on it "Haah."
The woman glanced at Zhang Yuan and her left hand around Ming Yuelin's neck tightened. "I told you not to move... Don't you care about this girl's life?"
Ming Yuelin scoffed under her breath "You are provoking the wrong guy. See how Master is going to blast you with his Heavenly lightning-"
"Yeah, kill her."
-_- What? Ming Yuelin turned her gaze "Master, I think I heard it wrong.. did you just say 'Kill her'?"
At this time, Mei Yu entered the room and smiled looking at Ming Yuelin "It seems like you are getting along with her very well. But go and play outside... why are you playing inside the house?"
(Q_Q;) Sister Yu? Playing?
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but chuckle and Mei Yu walked near him with a steaming cup of coffee in her hand "Master, here is your morning coffee."
"Thank you Yu'er."
Taking the coffee from her hand, he began to drink and Mei Yu sat beside him on the couch.
The woman was quite confused 'Why are they so casual about this? Don't they know I am a demon?'
'Horns on my head: check!'
'Red demonic eyes: check!'
'My hand oozing with corrupted energy: check!'
'Everything about me screams demonic, then why are they not afraid? Maybe this girl is not important here?'
Ming Yuelin was dumbfounded to see her Master casually sipping coffee rather than helping her "Master!!? HELP ME!"
She then turned her eyes and looked at the woman "Master, this is why I told you not to help a demon. See, this demon now wants to kill me." she muttered in frustration.
Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly "Lin'er, you can't even escape from a weak demon?"
Huh? She is weak? Ming Yuelin remembered her fight against the gorilla 'I was actually scared of her but I could actually beat her. Master too said I could have beaten her if I punched her first.'
'Then I just have to...' She twisted her body on her grip and raised her right hand hitting the woman's stomach with her elbow.
"Urgh!" A low groan escaped the woman's lips and as her hand loosened, Ming Yuelin quickly freed herself from her evil clutch.
"Master, I am free." She said with a proud smile, walking towards Zhang Yuan.
*swish* However the woman quickly moved and tried to grab Ming Yuelin again but Zhang Yuan grabbed Ming Yuelin's hand and pulled her.
*thud* Ming Yuelin fell on his lap and in the next instant, a pressure fell on the woman and her eyes dilated in shock. *gasp*
Ming Yuelin turned her head and saw the woman was frozen in place. A smirk appeared on her lips and she rotated her body sitting comfortably on Zhang Yuan's lap.
"See, if you touch me, My master will punish you." she said crossing her hands over her chest.
Zhang Yuan let out a soft laugh and wrapped his left arm around Ming Yuelin's waist as he took a sip of his coffee.
The woman couldn't move her body and glanced at Zhang Yuan 'He is powerful... I can't fight against him. But I have to escape from here... somehow.'
"Why did you save me? I am a demon." she began a conversation.
Zhang Yuan just shrugged and showed a faint smile "No particular reason."
The woman was confused even more as to why would any human help a demon 'I will talk my way out of here.'
Letting out a sigh, she spoke "Thank you for saving me. I don't have anything to repay for now... so if you let me. I want to leave from here."
Zhang Yuan took another sip of his coffee and retracted his coercion from her "You can go."
Eh? Ming Yuelin was taken aback and turned her head "Master you are letting it go?"
It? The woman clutched her hand in anger? Why is she calling me 'it' as if I am an object or animal? These fucking humans. I should have just killed her earlier.
Zhang Yuan muttered "If she wants to go, she can go. It's not like I saved her for 'ulterior' purposes"
The woman stood up and glimpsed at Zhang Yuan in the corner of her eyes before leaving the room and then she exited the house.
"Hmph! Leave." Ming Yuelin snorted under her breath and Zhang Yuan chuckled, patting her head.
Meanwhile, Mei Yu was confused 'I thought she was Lord's second disciple, but he let her go?'
...
In the afternoon-
Ming Yuelin was sitting cross-legged above the wooden platform as the hot breeze continued to tousle her black hair, her eyes closed, concentrating on her cultivation.
A little later, she opened her eyes and a red glint of energy flashed through her eyes "I am close to the 6th level of the Earth Profound stage."
"I wonder how much can I reach before entering the Inheritance ground."
A sigh escaped her lips and she stood up from the wooden platform "I will first go and eat my lunch."
As she stepped into the house, she heard Mei Yu's giggling "Hahaha, My Lord... stop..."
Hm? Curious, she walked into the kitchen and saw Zhang Yuan affectionately hugging Mei Yu from behind while she was busy on the stove.
Mei Yu controlled her laughter and glanced at Ming Yuelin "Litle Sister, you came at the right time. Please get your Master... from here... he is not letting me cook."
"Oh? You are complaining to her?" With a teasing glint, he tickled her waist and Mei Yu couldn't contain her laughter.
"Hahah... Uohhh My Lord..."
She turned her body in his arms and hugged him, hitting his chest "My Lord... haha."
Ming Yuelin's eyes quivered and she gripped her hand behind her back 'Why are they acting like they are newly married Husband and Wife...'
Her gaze narrowed, seeing Mei Yu snuggling in his arms. Hm... something is suspicious here.
