This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 74: The Lifelong Enemy of Wind Cloud Leopard

Chapter 74: Chapter 74: The Lifelong Enemy of Wind Cloud Leopard

The cub, which had been comfortably enjoying Su Youyi’s massage, let out a terrified howl and immediately hid in Su Youyi’s arms the instant it saw Liang Yi, as if to say: "Don’t come over here!"

Su Youyi’s maternal instincts were instantly triggered by the cub’s frightened and aggrieved expression, and after glaring at her senior brother, she gently soothed the little pitiful thing in her arms.

Liang Yi: "??"

He touched his face, wondering if it was the Illusion Technique at play? Or could it be that his charm value doesn’t work on demon beasts? No, that can’t be right; I saw the way the shop owner was looking at me, all lovey-dovey.

Ignoring Su Youyi’s protest, Liang Yi narrowed his eyes and grabbed the leopard by the nape, lifting it up and placing it on the table.

Each time Liang Yi’s face got closer, the cub trembled and took a step back as if on the brink of tears.

Baffled, Liang Yi couldn’t figure out the reason. Am I really that unpopular with demon beasts? He turned his head to observe the surroundings, and it seemed that all leopards would tremble when they caught his gaze.

"Customer, what did you do in the past?"

A straightforward and honest voice came from behind, and the elephant demon shopkeeper had appeared behind Liang Yi without notice.

"My senior brother used to just enjoy reading books and seldom left the mountain," Su Youyi interjected from the side.

"Looking at the state of this Wind Cloud Leopard cub, it seems to be very afraid of you. I’ve never seen anything like this before. How strange!" the elephant demon shopkeeper said, touching his shiny bald head in confusion.

The Wind Cloud Leopard now looked as fearful as a pig seeing a butcher. But Liang Yi didn’t feel any sense of animosity from the leopard towards him. This level of fear usually stems from killing thousands upon thousands of Wind Cloud Leopards. Even if an elder helped dissipate such animosity, there would normally still be some residue.

Unless it was the work of those old monks from Desert North Zen Sect of the Seventh Realm.

Moreover, such mass slaughter would certainly draw the pursuit of the Demon Clan’s royal guards. Don’t be fooled by the Demon Clan themselves selling juvenile demon beasts; that’s controlled and planned to prevent demon beasts from overpopulating like locusts. If there were a big-scale massacre of demon beasts, the Demon Clan would be the first ones to freak out!

When Liang Yi heard the words "Wind Cloud Leopard," he began to understand.

Great, I killed too many Wind Cloud Leopards in my past life. This aura of fear has penetrated deep into the soul, and even crossing over didn’t remove it.

Plus, all the ones here are just cubs, at most at level one or two. With such a big gap in levels, the fear is accordingly amplified.

Embarrassed, he touched his nose and saw the Wind Cloud Leopard cubs in the arms of other customers also looking terrified. Liang Yi suddenly felt like he had become some evil villain.

The juvenile demon beasts from other areas seek embraces when they see Liang Yi, but in this Wind Cloud Leopard area, it’s like he’s a devil himself, making anyone he glares at cry.

"That’s because you, young hero, have a unique gift. In the Cultivation World, there are those with a constitution naturally able to communicate with nature’s demon beasts, and correspondingly, there are those who are despised by heaven and earth," the elephant shopkeeper tried to explain.

"Hehe, I don’t believe you for a second. Why don’t you just say I’m beyond the Three Realms, not within the Five Elements?" Liang Yi scoffed inwardly.

"Since it appears that the Wind Cloud Leopard area has some peculiarities, I will go browse other areas instead."

Bowing to the elephant shopkeeper, Liang Yi, along with his junior sister, decided to check out other demon beasts.

Before leaving, he glared one last time at the Wind Cloud Leopard cub from earlier, scaring it into rolling and crawling back into its cage, even locking itself in and shivering in a corner.

"Junior brother?"

Liang Yi suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around to find it was an acquaintance.

"He Zhiqing? What are you doing here?"

The amiable and dignified young man in a purple robe was no other than He Zhiqing.

"He senior brother!"

Su Youyi also greeted him sweetly.

"Ha ha, I knew where my junior brother is, there would be junior sister," He Zhiqing winked at Liang Yi, jokingly.

"Are you the referee representative for the Complete Heaven Sect this time?"

Liang Yi and his two companions came to a secluded spot in the store and removed their disguises. Brother He had been careful not to reveal their identities earlier.

"Of course, being the Chief comes with such responsibilities," He Zhiqing nodded with a smile.

"Brother He, why did you come here all alone?" Su Youyi asked with a smile. "Most of the people who come here are girls."

"I didn’t really come here alone," He Zhiqing explained with a wry smile, casually pointing to a girl in a yellow dress not far away. "I’m accompanying my junior sister."

"Oh?" Liang Yi tilted his head and sized up the girl in the yellow dress; from the back, she seemed to have a petite and exquisite figure. He Zhiqing’s junior sister? That sounded like Fang Zhi’s daughter, right?

"Brother He’s junior sister?" Su Youyi was also curious.

"Little Qing, who are these two?"

The girl in the yellow dress noticed them, put down the squirrel cub in her arms and walked over. After giving Liang Yi and his companion a graceful bow, she turned to ask He Zhiqing.

"These two are my good friends, disciples of the Banished Immortal from the Taoist Sect."

"Liang Yi."

"Su Youyi."

He Zhiqing introduced them one by one.

"This is my junior sister, Yu Gejing."

"So it’s the renowned disciples of the Taoist Sect right before me; my eyes have failed me," Yu Gejing apologized with elegance, her eyes like glistening black pearls full of grace.

"You’re too kind, Senior Yu."

Su Youyi and Liang Yi both waved their hands hurriedly.

"There’s no need to be so formal. Since you’re good friends with Little Qing, you’re my friends too. It was just a joke to make Little Qing call me senior sister," Yu Gejing said with a laugh, covering her mouth as her eyes curved.

After speaking, she took an interested glance at Liang Yi. She had seen men more handsome than Little Qing, but they lacked his aura; those with a better aura weren’t as handsome as him. Unexpectedly, the famous but never before seen Chief Disciple of the Banished Immortal surpassed Little Qing in both aura and looks.

"Could it be that the Banished Immortal chooses disciples based on their looks?" Yu Gejing thought to herself amusedly. Turning to look at Su Youyi next to Liang Yi, despite her young age, she possessed a beauty that was as serene as the autumn waters, beginning to show a breath-taking elegance. As a woman herself, Yu Gejing felt somewhat ashamed.

Liang Yi looked at He Zhiqing mischievously.

This Little Qing was naturally He Zhiqing, and even this nickname had helped him capture the hearts of many female players.

"My senior sister joined before me and she’s also older, so naturally, it makes sense to address her as such," He Zhiqing said earnestly.

"Older?"

Yu Gejing still smiled gently and charmingly, but the killing intent emanating from her became slightly intense. Her hand reached He Zhiqing’s waist and gave it a hard twist.

He Zhiqing was sweating profusely from the pain, but in front of his junior brother Liang Yi, he had to maintain a smile and control himself not to cry out.

Seeing that Liang Yi had walked away and thinking of sneaking out, the frightened Wind Cloud Leopard cub added two more locks to its cage.

"Daddy, the world outside the cage is so scary, roar~"

"Brother He, what can I say? You’re straightforward!"

Liang Yi gave He Zhiqing a thumbs up, sincerely admiring him. Su Youyi, standing beside him, also looked at him with a face full of disgust.

"Huh? Is there a problem?"

The humbled He Zhiqing still hadn’t figured out what he did wrong.
