This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 285 - 276: Perfect Except for the Brain

Chapter 285: Chapter 276: Perfect Except for the Brain

"Feeling a sudden whim, hm?" Su Youyi hemmed and hawed, her gaze darting everywhere, still not daring to look her senior brother in the eyes.

Such an excuse Liang Yi naturally did not believe. His junior sister’s cultivation progress was frighteningly fast, even quicker than his, even though he had a System as a cheat. Therefore, during regular cultivation, she would follow Master’s advice, intentionally suppress her own speed and solidify her foundation as much as possible.

Junior sister wouldn’t rush into the next realm without being fully confident, yet she even sustained some internal injuries.

"Just look at little Youyi, you’ve never really lied; when you lie you have to look into the other person’s eyes, meow!" Uncle Orange lectured Su Youyi while waving its paws every day.

"Really... really?" Su Youyi asked weakly, but the next second she sighed helplessly. Asking like that, wasn’t she just exposing herself?

Liang Yi took Su Youyi back to his cave mansion, where the phantom of the Qinglian blossomed in the void. Streaks of blue qi cascaded down, merging into Su Youyi’s body, healing her injuries, and he even fed her a Spirit Pill to consolidate her foundation.

"Umm... this feels so comfortable!"

Only after being persistently questioned by Liang Yi did Su Youyi reveal the root cause of her injury: It all boiled down to her desire to become stronger and protect her senior brother.

This ideal was the origin of her path to cultivation. It was the same in the past, and now, even though her senior brother had already shown monstrous cultivation talent, it remained unchanged.

Senior brother had protected her for so many years, she too wanted to protect him in return!

But as the enemies they encountered became stronger and stronger, Su Youyi gradually realized her own weakness and yearned to be stronger.

Even the cultivation speed she had always kept suppressed in accordance with Master’s teachings, she had secretly let go a little, otherwise, she would still be in the early stages of the Fifth Realm.

Although her foundation was not yet sufficiently robust, Su Youyi urgently wanted to strengthen her abilities to protect her senior brother.

The result was clear; she had failed.

Not wanting to worry her senior brother, she had intended to feign that everything was fine, but she never expected to be found out so quickly.

"You really make me wonder what to say to you!"

Liang Yi was a mix of laughter and tears, holding his forehead, his expression tinged with helplessness.

"I was wrong, won’t dare to do it again next time!" Su Youyi knew all too well that Liang Yi had a soft heart, so she quickly admitted her fault before her senior brother could nag her.

"You..."

Looking at his junior sister resting her head on his arm, pitifully gazing up at him, Liang Yi found himself unable to utter the scolding that reached the tip of his tongue.

His junior sister was his only weak spot!

"Uncle Orange can vouch for me!" Su Youyi picked up Uncle Orange, who was watching the drama from the side, and held it in front of Liang Yi.

"???"

What am I vouching for, huh? If you go ahead and get injured again next time, won’t this kid Liang Yi flay me?

Liang Yi and the lifted Uncle Orange looked into each other’s eyes, both reading the word "helplessness" from the other’s gaze.

"One last time, this will not be taken as precedent, you’re not allowed to be so impatient next time," Liang Yi spoke in a muffled tone. He couldn’t hit her, he couldn’t scold her; he could only let it be.

"Mhm, I knew senior brother is the best." Su Youyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, hurriedly nodding her head, her bright smile illuminating the entire cave mansion. She knew she had gotten away with it this time.

Uncle Orange, having been used and then cast aside, sat off to the side looking rather forlorn.

With the combined effect of Liang Yi’s help healing and the Healing Pills, the minor injuries within Su Youyi’s body were largely healed in just half a day.

"Uncle Orange, your nose is simply sharper than some mystical beasts. When I was injured, I spat out a mouthful of blood and dealt with it immediately, yet you still managed to smell it?" Su Youyi followed by Liang Yi’s side as the two planned to go find Senior Purple Xuan to say farewell before leaving for the Complete Heaven Sect.

Liang Yi and Su Youyi were wearing the Vestment robes they had commissioned from the Wind God Commerce, and the two together looked even more matching and dazzling.

"..." Uncle Orange, perched on Liang Yi’s shoulder, rolled his eyes in a textbook manner, as if to say, are you suggesting my nose is more sensitive than a dog’s?

"Little Youyi, cultivation is something where haste makes waste; you should learn from me, more Buddha-like, meow."

Uncle Orange took out a tiny dried fish to wave at Su Youyi, sharing his own cultivation experience.

"Buddha-like? Uncle Orange, are you planning to take the path of Buddhist Sect cultivation?" Su Youyi couldn’t quite understand; she knew rushing led to failure, but was Buddha-like referring to the Buddhist Sect of Zen?

"It just means to let things take their own course without forcing them, meow." Uncle Orange explained it to Su Youyi with a dejected face.

"Don’t mislead my little disciple every day. Are you really going with the flow, or are you just lazy? Don’t you know it yourself?" Liang Yi saw that his junior sister seemed somewhat convinced and directly and mercilessly exposed Uncle Orange’s true colors.

"Hey, calling what a cultivator does ’laziness’? Seriously?" Uncle Orange’s old face turned red as he rambled on about energy-efficiency, going with the flow, and living a Zen-like life, provoking laughter from both Su Youyi and Liang Yi.

The place where Purple Cloud Sect’s Sect Master, Zi Xuan Bu, usually handles sect affairs is the Sect Master’s Hall, located on the main peak of Purple Cloud Sect, even higher than the Purple Cloud Sea.

On the way there, Liang Yi and Su Youyi also saw Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei who were bustling around taking and completing tasks for the entire sect. After learning their cultivation techniques, they were able to break through their limits and used their stored experience to quickly advance to level 13.

Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei knew their advantage over other internal test players was only temporary; they could use Boss Liang’s status to get transmission array tickets directly from Wu Yangshuo, but other players couldn’t.

To use Qingliang City’s transmission array, besides having to meet a certain goodwill requirement set by Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty, one must also accumulate a specific amount of city contribution value in Qingliang City to qualify for purchasing a transmission array pass.

These conditions are neither too difficult nor too simple. However, for those internal test players in Qingliang City, none of this is a problem.

Players who participated in the final events of the internal test would generally meet the goodwill requirement of Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty; all they need to do afterward is brush up their city contribution value for a few more days.

And that’s where Bai Xiaomo and the others’ advantage lay; they would complete all the tasks the Purple Cloud Sect had to offer and boost their own progress before other players arrived.

Stay one step ahead, stay steps ahead!

Liang Yi didn’t greet the busy pair; he just glanced at them from afar, quite satisfied with their progress.

Theoretically, all tasks of the Purple Cloud Sect are initiated by the Sect Master himself; as long as Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei complete tasks, he naturally received experience feedbacks as well.

As for the sect shop’s discount using experience values, they were currently unable to afford it. They didn’t have enough sect contribution value and experience to even look at the dazzling array of Daoist skills available in the sect shop.

Liang Yi glanced at his own panel; the tasks Bai Xiaomo and the others had done before had given him some feedback in experience value, although the experience from low-level tasks was quite little, and he received even less.

But there was no rush. Rather than a single robust leek, Liang Yi preferred a whole field of leeks.

"You accepted Abnormal People as disciples of the sect?" Su Youyi had been in closed-door cultivation and had no idea that players had returned and their numbers had soared.

"Yes, you know the growth rate of Abnormal People, it’s quite fitting to accept them as disciples." Liang Yi briefed his junior sister about the various news from the outside world in the past few days.

"Is this the Heavenly Dao phenomenon? So many Abnormal People have emerged." Su Youyi was a bit surprised to hear that Abnormal People had appeared all over the continent.

"Right now, they’re just ordinary people, but once they step onto the path of cultivation, a group of cultivators with Undying Bodies will be truly terrifying."

Su Youyi thought about a bunch of cultivators who would resurrect after being killed, and indeed it seemed troublesome.

Although it sounded scary, Liang Yi knew that there were limits to the players’ resurrections, and the tactic of overwhelming with numbers didn’t work too well against top-tier cultivators.

Now that the Immortal Path had been renewed, top-tier cultivators like his master Chen Hua were already in the Eighth Realm, and reaching the Ninth Realm in the future was definitely not a problem. Players could use their numbers against cultivators of the same realm, but if the difference in realm was too great, they would be helpless.

The main peak of Purple Cloud Sect was steep and ethereal, and the spirit wood grew in abundance. The spiritual energy in the void was also thick enough to be frightening; even simple breathing would boost Liang Yi and the others’ mana growth, and ordinary people might get drunk in the sea of spiritual energy.

"This is the central point of the whole sect’s Great Formation that covers Purple Cloud Sect. The spiritual energy is converging here," Uncle Orange realized the reason for the concentration of spiritual energy here with just a simple sniff.

When they arrived at the majestic hall, Elder Zi was already waiting for them with Spiritual Tea prepared and a smile on his face.

"Planning to leave?" Zi Xuan Bu conjured several chairs in the smoke-filled, spacious hall with a wave of his hand, indicating for them to take a seat.

"You look well, Elder Zi. Already heard about it?" Liang Yi was not shy and sat directly opposite Zi Xuan Bu, with several cups of green tea floating leaves on the table, the fragrance wafting through the air.

"Hello, Elder Zi!"

Su Youyi sat obediently next to Liang Yi, greeted Zi Xuan Bu prettily, while Uncle Orange directly lay on the table, yawning with boredom.

"I knew when you came down the mountain. What you said before wasn’t wrong; the Heavenly Dao anomaly that brought forth the Abnormal People is indeed extraordinary," Zi Xuan Bu looked appreciative, very pleased with Liang Yi’s proposal.

Previously Liang Yi had talked to him about the marvels of these Abnormal People, but Zi Xuan Bu hadn’t seen it with his own eyes and thus didn’t understand deeply.

But when Abnormal People started appearing on a large scale, even the city not far from them saw the presence of Abnormal People. He then used the intelligence network of Little Bamboo House to collect a lot of information about the Abnormal People.

Especially since Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei joined the sect, their performances have been pleasantly surprising.

Hard-working, shrewd, sufficiently talented—these qualities perfectly exemplified in these Abnormal People are what constitute an outstanding disciple. Aside from being a bit unconventional in thinking, Elder Zi was extremely satisfied with these two disciples.
