Chapter 6: How about… you marry me legitimately? [Ask for flowers]

No, something’s off!

Liu Wenwan is also at the Divine Yuan Realm. There’s no way she could not handle just one strike, right?

Ling Xue’s cultivation level indeed seems to be the divine Yuan Realm, but his actual combat power… could almost rival that of the Extreme Martial Realm.

In other words, within the divine Yuan Realm, he’s invincible!

At the peak of the divine yuan Realm!

A faint curve began to form at the corner of Xiao Xiangyu’s lips.

Who would have thought?

The so-called “congenital useless body” that everyone talked about would turn out to be such a monstrous talent?

With this kind of strength and potential, how difficult would it be to revive* the Demon Sect?

[*”重振 (chóng zhèn)”: “Revive” or “restore,” often used to describe the act of rebuilding or revitalizing something once great.]

At this moment, an unprecedented glimmer of hope rose in Xiao Xiangyu’s eyes.

All these years, like everyone else, she had watched a Young Master who appeared capable but saw no hope for the Demon Sect’s glorious future.

She had even, like everyone else, given up hope long ago!

But now, the power Lingxue displayed had undoubtedly reignited that spark of hope within her.

And it would surely rekindle* the long-dormant flame within the Demon Sect!

[*”点燃 (diǎn rán)”: “Ignite” or “rekindle,” used metaphorically here to describe reigniting hope or enthusiasm.

“Master…” Yun Luoxi’s face changed as she saw her master struck and immediately rushed to catch Liu Wenwan. The two of them slowly landed on the peak of a mountain.

“Master, he’s at the peak of the divine Yuan Realm! You’re not his match!” As soon as they landed, Yun Luoxi hurriedly spoke.

“Peak of the Divine Yuan Realm?” Liu Wenwan frowned deeply.

“I’m only at the early stage, while he’s at the peak—of course, I can’t be his match.” Liu Wenwan then glanced at Yun Luoxi again: “And yet you still fought him…”

She continued, “If you hadn’t fought him, would I have thought he wasn’t that strong? If you hadn’t fought him, would I have suddenly launched a sneak attack and gotten seriously injured by his palm strike?”

She added, “Yes, he didn’t hurt you—he pampers you, spoils you, and holds back for you. But what about me? That palm strike I took was for nothing, huh?”

“I…” Yun Luoxi was left speechless. She was just acting in a fit of anger!

Ling Xue may have been holding back with her, but how could she have known he’d be so harsh with her master?

“A peak Devine Yuan Realm cultivator, and a mid-stage Devine yuan Realm one…”

Liu Wenwan’s face darkened. “Is my Lingxu Sect going to be bullied like this?”

She thought, Can’t beat him, definitely can’t.

Even if I wasn’t alone, even if I called every powerful expert in the Lingxu Sect, we still wouldn’t be able to win.

With a Young Master like this, plus Xiao Xiangyu, and some other experts in the Demon Sect, there’s no chance of an all-out war.

In a full-scale battle, even without Lingxue, the Lingxu Sect wouldn’t stand a chance against the Demon Sect.

Ling Xue warned, “If you’re done, leave! If you make another move, I can’t guarantee that my next strike won’t kill you!”

In mid-air, Lingxue smiled faintly, the corner of his mouth curled slightly. Those blood-red eyes gazed down at Yun Luoxi and Liu Wenwan standing atop the mountain peak.

He continued, “Is your Demon Sect always so unreasonable* and domineering?”

[*”讲道理 (jiǎng dàolǐ)”: “Be reasonable,” meaning to appeal to logic and fairness.]

Liu Wenwan’s face remained tense. “Aren’t you going to offer any explanation?”

She continued, “Coming here to demand someone, only to have my disciple taken advantage of and myself injured—this is simply too humiliating.”

She added, “If word gets out, wouldn’t that be a complete loss of face?”

She paused, lost in thought, This bastard! At the very least, he could apologize!

That would give her a way to step down and restore some dignity to the Lingxu Sect.

“Unreasonable and domineering?” Ling Xue chuckled lightly, “Isn’t that exactly how the world views my Demon Sect? The Demon Sect!”

He added, “If we acted like your so-called righteous sects, would we still be called the Demon Sect? Of course, occasionally, I can be reasonable too.”

Lingxue’s gaze fell on Yun Luoxi, and he continued, “How about… you marry me openly and with honor?”

If this woman could be wholeheartedly loyal to him, perhaps it would better stimulate her potential, making him even stronger.

“You…” Below, Yun Luoxi’s face turned cold as she was about to respond.

But Ling Xue cut her off directly: “Think carefully before answering. I guarantee… I’ll only ask this once.”

Hearing these words, Yun Luoxi’s eyebrows furrowed tightly. After a moment, she coldly spat out three words: “Don’t even think about it!”

She continued, “You defiled me, and now you want me to marry you? Where in the world is such a good deal?”

“Fine.” Lingxue smiled faintly and waved his hand. “Then you can leave.”

A top the mountain peak, Yun Luoxi’s pretty face remained icy as she stared intently at Ling Xue.

After a moment, she could only snort coldly and avert her gaze. Then, she helped Liu Wenwan. “Master, let’s go!”

“But…” Liu Wenwan was deeply unwilling.

Yet, looking at Ling Xue standing mid-air with his hands behind his back, she felt utterly helpless.

Reason with him? He doesn’t reason!

Be unreasonable? I can’t beat him!

What else can be done?

Naturally, if you can’t provoke him, you can only avoid him! She kept thinking.

“The Lingxu Sect will remember this debt!”* She could only say coldly.

[*”欠债 (qiàn zhài)”: “Debt” in this context refers to a figurative “debt” of honor or grievance that one intends to repay.]

After speaking, she took Yun Luoxi with her, and their figures slowly rose into the sky.

Yun Luoxi gave one final cold glance at Ling Xue. Then, the master and disciple left without further delay, shooting off into the distance.

This left Ling Xue and Xiao Xiangyu standing mid-air. And down below, the starry-eyed Xiao Xiao…

Watching Yun Luoxi disappear into the horizon, Ling Xue finally withdrew his gaze.

He then turned to Xiao Xiangyu and said, “Immediately summon all the strong members of the Demon Sect and gather the armies from every side!”

He continued, “Now that I’ve gained enough strength, it’s time to reorganize the Demon Sect! Let the name of the Demon Sect resound across the heavens once again.”

Xiao Xiangyu’s beautiful eyes looked at Lingxue, her red lips curving into a faint smile and asked, “Are you… giving me an order?”

Hearing this, Ling Xue frowned slightly.

He floated over to Xiao Xiangyu, staring directly at her. “Yes, I’m ordering you!”

Xiao Xiangyu smiled again and said slowly, “I like the way you look when you give orders!”

In the past, whenever Ling Xue needed something from her, it was always a discussion, sometimes even a request.

But now, he gave orders directly!

This version of Lingxue finally resembled a true Young Master of the Demon Sect.

Finally resembled a true Demon Lord!

At this moment, what emanated from him was the unique aura of a true leader.

Ling Xue said, “When we get a chance, tell me what you’ve been hiding all these years.”

With a smile, Xiao Xiangyu turned and flew away. She was going to gather all the powerful members of the Demon Sect.

The long-dormant Demon Sect was finally ready to rise again!
