This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 292 - 282: An Mujing

Chapter 292: Chapter 282: An Mujing

An Mujing shook her hands somewhat wearily and took the chance to sigh softly as the abnormal person in front of her left. Given her Realm, even if she stayed here for several more years, she wouldn’t feel tired. The exhaustion she felt now was entirely psychological.

These past few days, the sect had important matters to handle, so many disciples of the Complete Heaven Sect stayed on the mountain to prevent any accidents, while she just went down the mountain to help a friend purchase some items.

It was only when she reached the area where Complete Heaven Sect disciples usually gathered to tell fortunes that she felt nostalgic and wanted to experience the old feelings again. However, she had not expected such an occurrence.

Although An Mujing maintained a gentle and calm appearance, she did not blame the abnormal people in her heart, but she still couldn’t help feeling anxious.

"Sigh, when can this end? My sisters are still waiting for me to return."

"Please wait a little longer, senior brother is already thinking of a solution." A clear voice, like a mountain spring, came from a young girl wearing a moon-white dress and cradling a peculiar beast, smiling and waving at An Mujing from the street corner.

An Mujing was stunned for a moment - this extremely beautiful girl whose face shone like moonlight, with the Fifth Realm cultivation, was not unfamiliar to her.

Taoist Sect’s Su Youyi, the one who kept breaking the age limits for realms in the Cultivation World, was the little disciple of a Banished Immortal. It seemed due to Daoist Skills, if one didn’t initiate contact, they would unconsciously overlook her.

"Hm?"

An Mujing heard a commotion from behind the crowd. The abnormal people who had been queuing in front of her had turned around, their faces curious and excited as they flocked towards that direction.

In a blink of an eye, the queue in front of An Mujing had dwindled to almost nothing.

Telling fortunes could be done anytime, but encountering Liang Yi, who was almost as generous as a philanthropist and a golden name NPC, was a rare opportunity. Players even speculated whether Liang Yi was perhaps the main character of some storyline.

"Rumor has it Su Youyi and her senior brother Liang Yi are always seen together, so if Su Youyi is over there, does that mean the one attracting attention here is that Liang Yi?"

Listening to a few words from the abnormal people, An Mujing quickly figured out what had happened.

Seizing this hard-won opportunity, An Mujing grabbed the few remaining abnormal people in line with one hand, divided her attention and foretold their fortunes before they could react.

After that, An Mujing didn’t even collect the fee. She simply rolled up her things and threw them into her ring, then slipped away! She didn’t forget to thank Su Youyi before leaving.

Watching the hurried escape of a True Disciple who might never open a stall in her lifetime, Su Youyi’s smile was full of joy.

"A True Disciple with the Fifth Realm cultivation was actually driven to such a plight by a group of abnormal people who are still ordinary humans - truly unheard of," Old Man Jū commented in amazement.

This could only happen in the Complete Heaven Sect, which followed the Righteous Path of cultivation. If it was the Blood Control Sect, they would have drawn their swords and started slashing long ago.

"That’s not quite right," Old Man Jū rubbed his chin.

In the Blood Control Sect, even the True Disciples have a murderous look in their eyes - whether these abnormal people would dare to approach is a question.

"Is senior brother alright?" Su Youyi looked towards Liang Yi, who was surrounded by a crowd.

But the next moment, the abnormal people one by one turned around to leave, each with a mysteriously excited expression.

"Eh? Why did they suddenly all leave?" Su Youyi’s eyes widened, her lips parted slightly in disbelief as she watched her senior brother walking towards her slowly.

"They’re just bored and have nothing to do. It’s fine once you give them something to do," said Liang Yi nonchalantly with a pat of his hands as he explained.

"Is it really that simple?"

"That simple," Liang Yi nodded affirmatively, a hint of a smile in his demeanor. "Most abnormal people can’t sit still, give them something to do and they won’t have the time to stay in one place."

Liang Yi encouraged the group of players, with a barrage of inspiring words that got these highly immersive players so pumped up they felt like they could become immortals on the spot. He also briefly mentioned his own Purple Cloud Sect, but without showing much enthusiasm, maintaining a sense of mystery befitting of a Super Force.

A meal of freeloaded delicacies isn’t necessarily more delicious than a sandwich bun bought with one’s own money.

With a wave of his hand, Liang Yi launched a group area mission and sent the whole lot off to go fishing. He was a bit interested in the Sword Scripture in the river, and in case Taibai Ge ran out of luck, he sent a bunch of players to see who could fish it out.

However, Liang Yi didn’t plan on claiming it forcefully; he just wanted to conveniently review it during the mission, and the rewards due for the mission would not be missing.

"Liang Yi, I knew you genuinely cared for this big lord meow!"

Lost in thought, Liang Yi was suddenly caught off-guard with a face full of Old Man Jū, feeling a sudden weight on his head as his vision went dark.

"You, get down!" Liang Yi had no clue why Mr. Orange went crazy all of a sudden, why on earth was he climbing on his face?

"Meow, knowing that this lord loves to eat fish, you actually let so many Abnormal People go fishing for me, I’m truly touched, meow!" Mr. Orange couldn’t believe that even though he’s usually so naughty, Liang Yi was still so good to him. Even Youyi probably hasn’t received this kind of treatment, right?

"???" Liang Yi really hadn’t expected Mr. Orange’s ability to indulge in self-delusion to be so strong. It was an unexpected joy, indeed. Mr. Orange, always causing a racket, would probably remember his kindness this time and hopefully stop being a third wheel around him and his junior sister.

"Eh... *cough cough*, that’s right, you’ve discovered my well-thought-out intentions." Liang Yi simply went along with Mr. Orange’s words, pretending his plan got exposed, possessing the airs of an Oscar-winning actor.

Su Youyi tried to restrain her laughter while her shoulders shook. Had she not known brother’s every move inside out, she might not see through his masterful acting.

Mr. Orange nearly burst into tears; he had misunderstood Liang Yi before. Although they were buddies, from now on they would be brothers who’d go through thick and thin together.

"Let’s go." Liang Yi saw that most of the players had dispersed and, after reapplying a layer of Daoist Skill on himself, he placed the still self-indulgent Mr. Orange on his shoulder, preparing to leave.

But they hadn’t gone very far when Su Youyi’s expression subtly changed, her ears flicked slightly, and she looked towards An Mujing, who was peeking around the corner, beckoning them with a secret wave.

"Hmm? You told her to stay?" Liang Yi asked his junior sister, tilting his head in confusion.

"No, I told her to leave directly." Su Youyi shook her head; their help had been simply that, with no other motives.

If it was older brother who suggested lending a hand, based on their experience in stories, Su Youyi might guess whether it was because he found the fellow Daoist beautiful and got smitten.

But it was Su Youyi who proposed helping, and had she not suggested it, judging by older brother’s behavior, he would likely have watched the excitement for a bit and left.

Growing up together, older brother always enjoyed spectating rather than participating directly. Sometimes getting too involved could spell trouble for oneself.

"As I see it, meow, maybe she’s looking to repay the favor with her person!" Mr. Orange stated confidently, certain that must be the case. "Perhaps that girl decided to fall head over heels when she saw the both of you, meow?"

"So here comes the question, Mr. Orange, who do you think she fell for, me or my junior sister?" Seeing Mr. Orange take the matter so seriously, Liang Yi just laughed and fired back the question.

"Hiss..." Mr. Orange subconsciously wanted to say definitely Liang Yi, but based on what he had observed at the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, sometimes Youyi also showed a charm that was not inferior to Liang Yi’s.

Liang Yi ignored Mr. Orange, who was now seated, lost in thought, and leisurely walked with his junior sister up to An Mujing.

"I am An Mujing from the Complete Heaven Sect, thank you both from the Taoist Sect for stepping in to help just now, I am very grateful!" An Mujing was petite, even shorter than Su Youyi’s shoulder height. She looked up at the two with a serious and thankful expression.

"An Daoist friend, it’s fine as long as you don’t think we overstepped by meddling. There’s no need to thank us, it was a trivial effort." Liang Yi smiled and gestured to An Mujing not to take the matter too seriously.

Being up close, An Mujing had a clear view of this renowned Taoist Sect chief. His features were indeed as handsome as the rumors said, enough to make even her unswerving Daoist heart tremble slightly.

Unfortunately, An Mujing clearly saw that the young man’s fate was tightly entwined with the spirit-like junior sister beside him, their destinies intertwined and inseparable.

Moreover, with just one glance exchanged with Su Youyi, though there was no hostility and even a friendly smile in her eyes, An Mujing, who was innately perceptive, noticed the piercing Sword Intent within Youyi’s pupils, like the depth of winter, seemingly ready to come out and annihilate everything at any moment.

Being both of the Fifth Realm, An Mujing was aware that if it came to a true fight for their lives, it was likely she would be the one to die, so she was a bit fearful of this much younger junior sister.

"What’s wrong?" Su Youyi was unaware that the Sword Intent she had honed recently had nearly scared a young girl silly. She just looked puzzledly at An Mujing who seemed a bit out of sorts.

"No... Nothing, thank you just now, Su Daoist friend." An Mujing shook her head, hurrying to change the subject.

"I wonder what brings you both to Taibai City. If there’s anything I can assist with, I’m at your service!"

"Ah, we were invited by Elder Fang to visit the Complete Heaven Sect, just taking a brief rest in Taibai City." Liang Yi’s purpose wasn’t worth hiding, as they were invited by Fang Zhi to be mascots.

And he had also brought the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao Spirit. Watching cultivators defy their fates, he would certainly have to ask Mr. Orange later what that felt like.

"Actually, I have to pick up some items from Elder Fu of the Complete Heaven Sect who’s in charge of material procurement in Taibai City. Shall we go together? I can lead you up the mountain later." An Mujing offered, thinking the two esteemed disciples of the Taoist Sect might need help navigating Taibai City for their first visit.

"Is that okay?" Liang Yi asked his junior sister, concerned that inviting another person might intrude on their duo’s private world.

"Yes, of course!" Su Youyi was puzzled, not understanding why her senior brother was asking this.

"Ah, then we’ll be troubling you." Although Liang Yi wouldn’t get lost in the area even if he closed his eyes, he couldn’t really refuse since she was so enthusiastic.

"Do you know where the best food is around here, meow?" Mr. Orange patted his belly, climbing down from Liang Yi’s hair, and asked An Mujing.

"How cute!" An Mujing caught sight of Mr. Orange and immediately got captivated by his irresistibly adorable appearance, her eyes twinkling as she gazed at Mr. Orange.
