Chapter 52: Let Me Help You Rub It
“The term ‘trash fish’ is quite fresh. I never expected it to be used on us. Demon Prince, you really have quite the audacity.”
Qing Yunzi gritted his teeth, his knuckles cracking as he clenched his fists.
Bai Rourou, standing beside Ye Shu, widened her beautiful eyes, equally astonished. Junior Brother, is he really this bold?
This was a direct challenge to their exchange student group!
In the past few decades, such a thing had never happened.
Firstly, it would have a negative impact and could easily provoke conflicts with other demonic sects, although Luo Jiuyan of the Heavenly Fiend Sect didn’t care much about that.
Secondly, in terms of strength, did they even have the capability to issue such a challenge? Even Senior Sister Nie Qing, one of Luo Jiuyan’s disciples, wasn’t strong enough to back it up.
Junior Brother Ye Shu had just recently broken through to the Golden Core stage. Was he really going to face a group of exchange students that included Nascent Soul stage cultivators?
“That’s right, a challenge!”
Ye Shu didn’t resist this description.
He was indeed issuing a challenge, and he wanted everyone to know about it.
Because he wanted to demonstrate his fighting spirit, to let others know that the new generation of the Heavenly Fiend Sect was not to be underestimated, and that he was here now!
Whether they were Nascent Soul stage cultivators or some kind of geniuses, if they lost their momentum, how could they have any chance of winning?
In any case, the task required him to defeat five outer sect disciples. Since clashes were inevitable, why not go all out and declare war on them?
He would speak as the Demon Prince of the Heavenly Fiend Sect should!
“Daring to say such a thing, you’ve got guts!”
Qing Yunzi ground his teeth but couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.
This guy, younger than himself, had astonishing courage.
Daring to issue a challenge to a group of the most elite exchange students from other sects truly lived up to his title of Demon Prince!
But speaking was one thing.
Strength was another.
Currently, Ye Shu was only at the Golden Core stage, a level that couldn’t even rank among the exchange students. Yet, he dared to issue a challenge. Was this the fearlessness of a newborn calf facing a tiger?
Thinking of this, Qing Yunzi revealed a sly smile: “Good! I will definitely relay this message!”
Once he told them, it would stir their indignation, and then there would be quite a show to watch!
“Now get lost!”
With Ye Shu’s final words, Qing Yunzi cast one last longing glance at Bai Rourou, his heart unwilling to let go, before turning and leaving, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
“Junior Brother Ye, why did you have to do this?” Bai Rourou asked with concern in her voice.
Ye Shu’s expression was also serious. He knew the price his words would bring.
But he had no regrets: “As the Demon Prince of the Heavenly Fiend Sect, if I allow outer sect disciples to throw their weight around on our turf, how can I expect others to respect me?”
Bai Rourou pursed her lips, her mind wrestling with his boldness for a moment, then nodded slowly. His words, though risky, carried a truth she couldn’t deny.
Just like when she had threatened Ye Shu before, if he didn’t have the strength to be the Demon Prince, he should step aside for someone more capable!
But now, regardless of whether he had the strength or not, his courage and demeanor were undeniable!
Bai Rourou couldn’t help but wonder, was this really the demeanor of an eighteen-year-old youth?
“Senior Sister Bai, do you believe in me?”
At this moment, Ye Shu suddenly posed a question.
Bai Rourou looked up at him and, without hesitation, replied: “Demon Prince, I believe in you!”
“Demon Prince…”
Ye Shu was stunned, his eyes widening in surprise.
He was truly astonished!
For a long time, his senior sisters, relying on their early entry into the sect and their stronger cultivation, had always referred to him as Junior Brother, even after he was bestowed the title of Demon Prince. This had been going on for many years…
Today was the first time he had heard a senior sister address him with the formal title of Demon Prince!
This meant that his status and position had changed in Bai Rourou’s heart. He was now worthy of being the Demon Prince of the Heavenly Fiend Sect!
In other words, she had immense faith in him!
“I won’t let you down,” Ye Shu nodded excitedly, his sharp eyebrows and starry eyes filled with determination.
“Mhm.”
Bai Rourou covered her perky buttocks, displaying a somewhat coy demeanor.
“Does it still hurt? Senior Sister, let me rub it for you.”
“Eww~ What are you thinking!”
“I have some excellent pain-relieving ointment at home. Let’s go to my place.”
“That’s not appropriate… I’ll just endure it.”
“Senior Sister Bai, how can that be? Besides, it’s all my fault.”
“You! Stop talking!”
“Alright, alright, Senior Sister, let’s go.”
“Fine~”
…
Meanwhile, in a pavilion, a group of elite disciples from various sects had gathered.
Their expressions were grave, especially after hearing Qing Yunzi’s account, which added a layer of anger to their faces.
“What! Calling us trash fish? Who does he think he is?”
“He’s just the Demon Prince of the Heavenly Fiend Sect! I was almost nominated as a Demon Prince once! How dare he look down on us with such a message—it’s a declaration of war, a challenge to fight!”
“Hey, Young Master Qing, are you sure you’re not lying? I heard you got beaten up by that kid before. Are you just trying to stir up trouble now?”
Amid their anger, they couldn’t help but question Qing Yunzi.
It wasn’t that they didn’t believe him, but the whole thing sounded too unbelievable.
One person, challenging all the exchange students, and his cultivation level was only at the Golden Core stage? Among the exchange students, there were even a few at the Nascent Soul stage.
Was he truly ignorant and arrogant?
Or was Qing Yunzi just trying to settle a personal grudge by spreading false information?
“I swear it’s true! If I’m lying, may I die a horrible death!”
Qing Yunzi pounded his chest, speaking with a serious expression.
“So that guy named Ye really dared to say such a thing?”
After receiving his assurance, the others were baffled.
They weren’t afraid of a Golden Core stage guy like Ye Shu, but they were concerned about the Heavenly Fiend Sect’s reputation and that of the Empress.
If they really went all out, would it provoke her retaliation?
Although it seemed like they were allowed to participate and earn rewards, who knew if she might secretly hold a grudge and seek revenge?
These were all things they had to consider.
“Who cares! Since he dared to issue the challenge, he must be prepared to get beaten up. If we keep hesitating here, the Empress might even look down on us!”
Someone suggested.
This statement immediately opened the minds of the others.
“Right! We came here to bring glory to our sects!”
They were fired up.
As exchange students sent to the Heavenly Fiend Sect by other demonic sects, their purpose was to showcase their sect’s strength and bring honor to their own sects!
Now that something had happened, if they didn’t step up, what was the point of being here?
With this in mind, they solidified their resolve.
“Even if I die, I’ll beat that guy named Ye to a pulp! Breaking an arm or a leg would be even better!”
They excitedly imagined the scene.
They couldn’t help but think of their mission.
Even if they couldn’t defeat Luo Jiuyan, they could at least beat her disciples?
If they got the chance, they would beat him up!
Make a name for themselves and earn great rewards!
