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

Chapter 67: Truly Enviable

Lan Caidie didn’t dare waste words and recounted everything the three of them had encountered inside the Slaughter Tower to Luo Jiuyan.

Of course, she omitted the incident with the Seductive Demon.

This matter concerned her own reputation. No matter how much she disliked Ye Shu, she couldn’t speak of it.

“What? He led the two of you to the fifth floor? And if not for his repeated interventions, you would’ve been in mortal danger?”

“Are you serious? This was him?”

After hearing Lan Caidie’s account, Luo Jiuyan’s beautiful face was filled with shock.

From Lan Caidie’s words, she learned that Ye Shu had led the two of them in a bloody battle.

Several times, when they were on the verge of collapse and ready to crush their escape puppets, Ye Shu had stepped in to save them.

These words sent ripples through Luo Jiuyan’s heart.

A Golden Core cultivator, rescuing two Nascent Soul cultivators—and not just once or twice? This sounded like the heavens and earth had been overturned!

Wasn’t it supposed to be the other way around? Weren’t they the ones supposed to save him?

Luo Jiuyan massaged her forehead and stared at Lan Caidie, demanding an explanation.

Lan Caidie, however, felt somewhat displeased. Wasn’t it you who armed him with all those treasures, allowing him to put on such a show?

She said earnestly, “This disciple speaks not a single false word!”

“Fine, fine.” Luo Jiuyan nodded, deciding not to press further.

She turned her gaze back to the Slaughter Tower, waiting for the remaining two disciples to emerge.

Once Ye Shu himself came out, she could verify the truth of the matter.

But the wait was long.

Lan Caidie had been forced to flee after reaching her limit on the fifth floor.

Yet the other two still hadn’t come out—either they had died inside, or they were still fighting.

Based on Lan Caidie’s account, it was likely the latter.

With Ye Shu’s relentless slaughter of the vengeful spirits, it seemed they could still hold their own on the fifth floor.

“The vengeful spirits on the fifth floor are roughly at the early Nascent Soul stage. Yet he can survive amidst so many?”

Luo Jiuyan watched silently, deep in thought.

At this point, she couldn’t even begin to gauge the extent of Ye Shu’s strength.

The Eighth Day

Nie Qing crawled out—yes, crawled.

She was covered in blood, her robes nearly torn to shreds.

Luo Jiuyan and her disciples were shaken at the sight.

The eldest senior sister had been reduced to such a state? Just how terrifying was the Slaughter Tower?!

Luo Jiuyan immediately sent an elder to treat Nie Qing and change her into clean robes. Only then did she look somewhat presentable.

When Nie Qing finally caught her breath, the first words out of her mouth were—

“Junior Brother Ye… he’s gone mad with killing!”

“Gone mad?”

The crowd was stunned.

Luo Jiuyan personally channeled a surge of spiritual energy into Nie Qing, her complexion visibly improving. “Explain. What happened to him?”

Nie Qing’s face regained some color, and she gave Luo Jiuyan a grateful look before continuing.

After Lan Caidie left, the two of them fought desperately on the fifth floor. It took them two full days to clear out all the vengeful spirits there.

With her body pushed to its absolute limit, Nie Qing prepared to exit the Slaughter Tower.

But Ye Shu disagreed—he insisted on going to the sixth floor.

Helpless, she followed him up.

And the moment they arrived, she immediately regretted it.

The sixth floor was swarming with late-stage Nascent Soul vengeful spirits—and among them was a ghost general who had developed intelligence, his strength reaching the Soul Separation stage!

With a single strike, the ghost general nearly killed Nie Qing on the spot.

Had Ye Shu not drawn its attention, she would have surely perished.

“He’s insane! Even when we had a chance to escape together, he still chose to fight that ghost general!” Nie Qing shook her head, her expression pained.

She had begged Ye Shu repeatedly to stop.

A Golden Core cultivator—not even Nascent Soul—daring to fight a Soul Separation-stage vengeful spirit? Wasn’t that just courting death?

But in the end, surrounded by countless vengeful spirits, Nie Qing had no choice but to crush her escape puppet and flee.

Her last glimpse of Ye Shu was of him still locked in fierce combat with the ghost general.

“WHAT?!”

Luo Jiuyan was the first to lose her composure. In front of everyone, the normally unshakable sect master revealed a trace of panic.

“This is sheer recklessness! A Golden Core cultivator should’ve left by the fourth floor—or at most, the fifth! But to go to the sixth floor? And to engage a Soul Separation-stage ghost general in battle? This is beyond foolish!”

She cursed inwardly, wishing she could drag Ye Shu out right now and slap some sense into him.

But Ye Shu was still inside.

“He’s as good as dead. Even the eldest senior sister was nearly killed, yet he stubbornly stayed behind.”

“Overestimating oneself leads only to ruin.”

The disciples shook their heads and sighed. To them, Ye Shu was already a dead man walking.

What Golden Core cultivator could challenge a Soul Separation-stage expert? Even the most monstrous genius couldn’t bridge two major realms!

“SILENCE!”

Luo Jiuyan’s furious roar shook the entire Asura Hall, instantly reducing the crowd to dead silence.

Her rage was palpable.

Anyone foolish enough to speak now would likely meet a gruesome end.

“He’s still alive. I can sense it.”

After the hall quieted, Luo Jiuyan stared intently at the Slaughter Tower, her mind racing.

Ye Shu’s aura was faint—far weaker than before—but it was still there. He wasn’t dead yet, just severely weakened.

“Then I can’t just stand by and do nothing!”

Her resolve hardened. She raised a hand, prepared to destroy the Slaughter Tower and rescue Ye Shu at all costs!

The elders were horrified and rushed to stop her:

“Sect Master, you mustn’t! The Slaughter Tower is a priceless cultivation treasure, one of a kind in this world! If destroyed, it can never be replaced!”

The Slaughter Tower was the Slaughter Sect’s supreme treasure, a rare cultivation artifact even in the broader world. Luo Jiuyan herself possessed nothing else of comparable value.

To destroy it for the sake of someone who was already as good as dead—what a waste!

“Hmph! A treasure is just a treasure. If it’s destroyed, I’ll just seize another. But my Shu’er… he’s one of a kind. If he’s gone, he’s truly gone!”

Luo Jiuyan glared coldly at the elders, her anger flaring.

To her, no cultivation treasure—no matter how rare—could compare to Ye Shu’s life.

“Truly… enviable!”

The other disciples watched in disbelief, their mouths sour with jealousy.

Damn it! To save Ye Shu, she’s willing to destroy a supreme cultivation treasure? Is there no justice in this world?!

If it were them trapped inside, would Sect Master Luo Jiuyan be so desperate to save them?

The bitter answer was obvious—no.

They would just be left to die.

“My decision is final. Do not try to stop me!”

Luo Jiuyan’s eyes burned with determination. The thought of Ye Shu facing death only fueled her fury.

She gathered her immense spiritual power, ready to shatter the Slaughter Tower with a single palm strike.

As for the tens of thousands of vengeful spirits that would be unleashed afterward?

She didn’t care.

All that mattered was seeing Ye Shu alive.

BOOM!

Luo Jiuyan unleashed her strike—a devastating blast of spiritual pressure that shook the entire Asura Hall, freezing everyone’s hearts in terror.

But just as the attack was about to land—

A weak voice called out from inside the tower:

“Master… please don’t kill me!”
