Chapter 2296: Reunion

“Just who is this person? He actually dares to slander the saintess? He’s not regarding our Yun clan with any importance!"

“It isn’t just the Yun clan, they're disrespecting the entire Demon race!”

…

When they heard the words the True Demon Emissary spoke before he left, the guards were furious. Only a few elders who had hurried over guessed the true ident.i.ty of that person. They couldn't help but worry.

After some hesitation, Pei Mianman decided not to reveal his ident.i.ty. She didn’t use the chance to leave either, instead staying behind to help take care of the deceased and treat the injured. After all, these people had died while helping her.

The guards were all moved to tears when they saw how considerate she was. The prestige of the ‘saintess’ only climbed higher as a result.

…

Meanwhile, the True Demon Emissary got angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. A setback had ended up happening with a beauty he'd expected to obtain easily. Now, because of the huge disturbance, the Yun clan’s attention would be focused on the saintess. It wouldn’t be so easy for him to head over again. That was, unless he completely gave up on his plans to acquire the entire Yun clan.

He had ended up being carried away by a whim today, but he still knew what was more important. That thing was still top priority. Everything else had to wait.

When he thought of Pei Mianman’s stunning beauty, the True Demon Emissary felt a strong itch. Subduing a thorned rose could only bring an even greater feeling of achievement, after all. But all that would have to wait until the Yun Clan Master returned. Once he showed himself, what resistance would that saintess be able to put up?

…

As the saying went, ask and you shall receive. The next morning, the True Demon Emissary received news that the Yun Clan Master was returning. He was a bit surprised. According to earlier intelligence, it should have been at least half a month before he would return!

But this was good news. If the clan master was returning earlier, that meant the battle had gone smoothly, and that he had already obtained the White Tiger Stone. Furthermore, he could now make the Yun Clan Master offer up the saintess immediately. Good things really happened in pairs!

Compared to the excited True Demon Emissary, Pei Mianman was feeling both furious and cold-hearted. She hadn’t expected the Yun Clan Master to return so soon. Other people didn't know the True Demon Emissary’s ident.i.ty, but she did. Once the Yun Clan Master gave out his orders, who inside the Yun clan would still help her?

As soon as she thought of that, she didn’t dare to hesitate and moved to escape the Yun clan residence. She chose a secluded small path, but she froze as soon as she was about to jump over the wall.

The True Demon Emissary was already standing right in front of her! When he saw Pei Mianman, he smiled cruelly. “Where is the saintess going in such a rush?”

“How did you know that I would go this way?” Pei Mianman asked to stall for time. She examined her surroundings, but she didn’t see any chance to get away.

“I was made a fool by you last night, so you were the only thing on my mind. There was no way I wouldn’t pay close attention to what you were doing.” The True Demon Emissary saw through her intentions, but he didn’t care. She was weaker than him, and the Yun Clan Master had now returned.

The situation is completely in my favor. Why would I care if she's stalling for time?

“If the entire Yun clan is alerted, you probably won’t be able to continue hiding your ident.i.ty anymore,” Pei Mianman said to try to intimidate the True Demon Emissary.

“Are you still trying to intimidate me?” The True Demon Emissary laughed. “The Yun Clan Master has already returned. He will naturally be able to help me hide that. I don’t think he would want to be accused of choosing a random saintess to defile the Demon Deity.”

Pei Mianman felt her hopes turn to dust. The worst case scenario had still ended up happening. Still, she didn’t panic. She had already experienced so many dangerous situations with Zu An before, so how could a mere True Demon Emissary scare her?

She sighed. “In that case, it seems I can only accept my fate.”

The True Demon Emissary was delighted to hear that. “That’s right, wouldn’t it have been great if you had done this earlier? Serving me is actually the same as serving the Demon Deity… Huh? What are you doing?”

Suddenly, he roared in shock and fury as the surrounding s.p.a.ce instantly became pitch-black. Normally, with the True Demon Emissary’s cultivation, even a dark night was like daytime to him. But this darkness was extremely strange. He couldn't see a thing, nor could he lock onto her aura. He couldn't sense anything at all.

This was the Fu Hao Owl Statue’s domain of darkness!

“An interesting skill you have there.” The True Demon Emissary laughed. Even though he couldn't see, he didn’t panic. With a wave of his hand, everything within a range of three hundred meters was surrounded by mist. Bones then appeared in the mist, forming an enormous cage. He could sense that the s.p.a.ce Pei Mianman had activated her skill in wasn’t too large. That meant as long as he locked down this place with an even larger prison, she wouldn’t be able to get away.

Sure enough, Pei Mianman used the chance to run away as quickly as possible toward the edge of the darkness. However, the white bone cage appeared out of thin air in front of her. She instinctively ran to one side to find another way out, but the cage covered every direction. Helpless to do anything else, she could only bring out her rose flames to bombard the white bone prison.

“I’ve caught you!” The True Demon Emissary grinned in the darkness. He darted forth, and a second later, he instantly reappeared next to Pei Mianman. He reached out to grab her shoulder.

Fortunately, Pei Mianman’s cultivation was now on an entirely different level. She barely avoided the attack. But she knew that now that the opponent was already prepared for the Fu Hao Owl Statue’s skill, so she likely wouldn't have another chance like this to escape.

“It’s time for the game to end.” The True Demon Emissary smiled.

He was about to attack when his expression suddenly changed and he looked up. He saw a flying ship descend from the skies, but his expression remained calm. There were all kinds of flying ships in the universe. Compared to those, this flying ship was quite primitive.

However, the Yun Clan Master stood at the front of the flying ship. This was a bit surprising for the True Demon Emissary, because he didn’t recall the clan master having any such thing.

“Since the clan master has returned, that saves us a lot of trouble.” The True Demon Emissary stood with his hands behind him. When there was someone else who could solve his problems, doing it personally would only lower his own status. It would be better for the Yun Clan Master to offer up the saintess himself. That would bring him a greater sense of superiority.

“What trouble are we saving?” The Yun Clan Master had a strange expression as he spoke.

The True Demon Emissary pointed at Pei Mianman. “I just happen to be lacking an obedient maid. She is quite suitable, so let’s just choose her.”

“But she is the saintess.” The Yun Clan Master’s expression became even stranger.

“You can just pick another one. Is there a problem?” The True Demon Emissary frowned. This Yun Clan Master normally always fawned over him, but what was going on today?

“You want her to become your maid? Even someone like you?” a calm voice asked from behind the Yun Clan Master.

At first, Pei Mianman had a decisive look on her face as she resolved to fight to the end, but the moment she heard that voice, she was overwhelmed with joy.

The True Demon Emissary was furious. “You’re courting death!”

You have successfully trolled Donaire for +444 +444 +444…

With a wave of his hand, a large hand appeared in the air. It grabbed at the s.p.a.ce behind the Yun Clan Master. He just couldn't understand it. Had the Yun Clan Master gone mad? Why was he actually traveling with someone like that?

Even so, a second later, his expression turned to shock, because the large hand suddenly vanished. Then, a hand ten times the size appeared around him. He wasn’t given any chance to resist before it grabbed him firmly.

Donaire’s face immediately turned completely red. He used all of his strength to try to destroy the hand, but s.p.a.ce itself seemed to have been frozen. Meanwhile, that hand seemed to be sucking away all of his power to strengthen itself. He was horrified. Just who the h.e.l.l was this guy? Why was he so ridiculously powerful?

But what made his eye sockets almost split apart was that the saintess flew toward the sky with a bashful smile on her face. Then, she jumped into the man's arms and eclaimed, “Ah Zu!”

“Manman~” Zu An spread open his arms to hug the excited and trembling beauty. He had been rushing in this direction when he sensed the power of the Fu Hao Owl Statue, causing him to head toward it.

At last, the two reunited.
