After Being Rejected by Senior Sisters, My Demoness Master Actually Gave Herself to Me

Chapter 35: I’m Ready!

“Who can eat all this?” Luo Jiuyan looked at Ye Shu, who was carrying a large bag of snacks, and couldn’t help but chide him.

Ye Shu chuckled. “It’s fine. If you can’t finish it, I’ll eat it. I have a good appetite.”

What was the big deal? Back on the mountain, there was still Senior Sister Bai waiting to be fed. He could just stuff her with all the leftovers later.

With that thought, he packed the bags into his spatial pouch.

“Young man, you’ve made it quite hard for me to find you!”

Just then, a coquettish voice called out from behind.

Ye Shu turned around.

It was the female disciple from the Joyful Union Sect, along with her six “furnaces.”

They were staring at the two of them like predators eyeing a delicious meal, practically drooling.

“What do you want?” Ye Shu’s expression darkened, a surge of irritation flaring in his chest. Why was this shameless woman so persistent? If it weren’t for Luo Jiuyan being by his side, he might have put an end to her flirtatious antics with a sharp lesson.

“Can’t I just come to see you, young man?”

As she spoke, Zhang Hongyan glided over like a piece of silk, smooth and fluid, almost pressing herself against Ye Shu.

“Humph!”

A lightning-fast kick sent her flying like a kite with its string cut, soaring through the air.

Thud!

She crashed into a stall selling oranges, sending them rolling everywhere.

Luo Jiuyan stood with her arms crossed, calmly watching the scene, a faint smile playing on her lips. The audacity of this woman daring to cling to Ye Shu had sparked her ire, though she hadn’t gone for the kill. Compared to outright killing someone she disliked, she preferred to torment them. It was more enjoyable that way.

“How dare you! Do you know who I am?”

Zhang Hongyan crawled out of the pile of oranges, clutching her already round buttocks, which had become even more swollen after the kick. Perhaps this was a blessing in disguise.

Hearing this, both Ye Shu and Luo Jiuyan couldn’t help but smile.

They wanted to say, “Do you know who just kicked you?”

If she knew it was the infamous Luo Jiuyan, she’d probably be scared out of her wits.

But neither of them said anything, instead watching her with amused interest.

“What are you laughing at?”

“How audacious! I am Zhang Hongyan, the direct disciple of Grand Sect Master Hu of the Joyful Union Sect! Do you know the prestige of my master? Kneel down at once!”

Zhang Hongyan’s lips curled into a smirk. She thought to herself, I’m done pretending. Time to reveal my true identity. You small-time cultivators from who-knows-where are nothing but ants in front of the mighty Joyful Union Sect. You’ll be trembling in fear!

However, her grand reveal didn’t have the effect she expected. The two of them didn’t seem the least bit impressed.

Ye Shu said to her, “If you kneel before my master today and kowtow a hundred times, she might be in a good mood and spare you.”

“Are you joking? I would never kneel to anyone! Except for my master, I won’t kneel to anyone!”

Zhang Hongyan placed her hands on her hips, shouting in anger.

At this moment, her “furnaces” swarmed over, standing by her side and speaking up for her.

“Who do you think you are, kid? How dare you tell our Sister Zhang to kneel! You’ve got some nerve!”

“Look at him, just a pretty boy with no backbone, relying on a woman to speak for him.”

“A spineless freeloader. Aren’t you ashamed?”

They could tell that Ye Shu’s status was lower than the veiled woman’s, so they took the opportunity to humiliate him.

But Ye Shu wasn’t angry. Instead, he smiled.

A freeloader?

“That’s right, I never said I didn’t enjoy her favor! To stand by Luo Jiuyan’s side—can you imagine how sweet and satisfying that is? Absolutely delicious! These jealous dogs can only dream of such a bond,” Ye Shu thought to himself.

He glanced at Luo Jiuyan, who showed no reaction. Instead, she turned her attention to a nearby dueling platform, where the sounds of clashing could be heard.

It seemed like a flower-ball competition was underway.

Legend had it that whoever caught the flower ball during the Lantern Festival would enjoy smooth sailing and fulfilled wishes for the coming year.

If a couple caught it together, their bond would grow even stronger, their love deepening.

“Oh? You want to compete for the flower ball too?”

Zhang Hongyan noticed this and immediately saw an opportunity.

From the brief exchange earlier, it was clear that she was no match for the veiled woman in terms of strength, and her status didn’t intimidate her either.

So, she had to find another way to deal with them.

If they wanted to compete for the flower ball, she could interfere and make things difficult for them.

“How about we make a bet?” she suggested with a smile.

“Whoever catches the flower ball wins. If my side wins, you’ll give that young man to me as my furnace~”

“What?”

Ye Shu’s expression changed immediately when he heard this.

Damn it, you shameless woman! Still not giving up? You want me as your furnace? Believe me, I’ll plow your field until it’s ruined!

But then he thought, Luo Jiuyan was such a serious person. Surely she wouldn’t agree to such a childish bet.

“Fine, it’s a deal,” Luo Jiuyan’s voice came immediately after.

“Ah? Yan’er, you—”

Ye Shu was stunned, his eyes wide with disbelief. Luo Jiuyan, are you serious?

However, Luo Jiuyan didn’t seem to care about his feelings. She looked at Zhang Hongyan and smiled. “If you lose, you must shout ten times that your master is a bitch!”

!!!

Zhang Hongyan was horrified by these words. She gasped, wondering if this woman had some deep-seated grudge against her master. How could she propose something so vicious?

It was utterly infuriating!

Gritting her teeth, she said, “Fine, I agree!”

Today, she was going all out!

She would make this wretched woman pay a heavy price!

“Have you all lost your minds?”

Only Ye Shu was still in shock.

One was selling out her boyfriend, the other was betraying her master.

No matter who lost, it would be a moral catastrophe too horrifying to behold.

Indeed, women in the heat of the moment were not to be trifled with.

“You can’t lose!” Luo Jiuyan said to Ye Shu at this moment.

The flower-ball competition, by tradition, was restricted to men vying for glory, so she couldn’t participate. It was up to Ye Shu.

Ye Shu looked at the six men on the other side and scratched his head helplessly. “Alright.”

While Ye Shu was feeling resigned, Zhang Hongyan’s side was brimming with enthusiasm.

She declared, “Whoever catches the flower ball will get to spend seven days and nights with me in bliss!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the six men were electrified, practically foaming at the mouth.

“I’ll do it! I’ll definitely get it for you, Sister Zhang!”

“I’ll risk my life to get that flower ball for you!”

Ye Shu watched this scene, feeling a pang of bitterness.

He gently tugged at Luo Jiuyan’s slender fingers, conveying his feelings without words.

Luo Jiuyan understood what he was thinking and nodded. “If you win, there will be a reward.”

“What reward?” Ye Shu blinked, his anticipation soaring, but then, as if remembering something, his excitement quickly deflated.

“Don’t tell me it’s another empty promise.”

He sighed. Last time, the reward had been underwhelming. If it was the same this time, it really wouldn’t be worth it.

Luo Jiuyan noticed his disappointment and leaned in close, whispering words into his ear.

“What! I’m ready! I’m ready!”

Upon hearing those words, Ye Shu immediately straightened up, his spirit rejuvenated!
