Chapter 3: CH 3

The person in front of me is Han Shengyao?

According to the original novel, Han Shengyao should still be cultivating in the Ninth Floor of the Demon Palace, so how did she get here?

Lin Qianshuang thought for a moment. Tianfu mountain is located at the boundary of the Demon Realm which the demonic pathway is connected to. It must be at the time where the Demon Killing Array had caused the death of the Cang Lan beast, that the Demon Emperor who resided in the Ninth Floor of the Demon Palace felt the oddity and sent out Han Shengyao to investigate.

If it wasn't the Demon Emperor who gave the command, she really couldn't think of anyone else who could force the Sage of the Ninth Floor of the Demon Palace, who was famous for being lethargic and lazy in the original novel, all the way to the mountain.

Lin Qianshuang's heart was still beating rapidly as her sense of crisis from having nearly lost her life had yet to subside completely.

Wait, does that mean Han Shengyao was the one who saved her from the demon's clutches?

Lin Qianshuang's 'face' had a hint of puzzlement. How could Han Shengyao, who had a cold-blooded nature, disregarded life, and was indifferent to the world, step in to save an insignificant demon egg?

Having read the original novel, she knows very well about the character of Han Shengyao. She is shady, does not act on goodwill, and never does things that do not benefit her.

The soft white demon egg in the palms of her hands had stopped trembling, freezing for a long time, before rubbing itself against the other party's hand with the curiosity of a cat.

The movements of the demon egg amused the beauty who was gently squeezing it, she chuckled softly.

"Little guy, I will assume that you agree to follow me."

"However, I'm really curious about what kind of demon gave birth to you. Lower demons would not be as clever as you."1

The female voice that entered her sea of divine consciousness was cold and enchanting. The lazy and slightly magnetic voice did not make people feel sleepy, but instead, it provoked people to think of wicked thoughts. The sound of her voice was like a feather tickling her heart, feeling tingly and slightly itchy.3

Lin Qianshuang was stunned by the seductive voice and her whole body shook. She felt a chill travel up her spine(1), causing her soul to shudder a little.1

There was a scene in the novel where Liang Jingxuan met Han Shengyao for the first time. The male protagonist had always been surrounded by beautiful people so he had gotten accustomed to seeing various types of beauties, but when he heard Han Shengyao's voice that gave him a snide remark, his line of sight never left the woman in red.

Reading this paragraph, Lin Qianshuang who was immersed in the scene thought that it was a little exaggerated. But now, she suddenly felt like the word "heavenly" used to describe her voice was not excessive at all.

Even she, who was also a woman, felt that Han Shengyao's voice possessed an extraordinary charm that could easily disrupt the rhythm of her heartbeat.1

Lin Qianshuang was now a demon egg and without eyes, she couldn't see the person in front of her. But just by listening to her voice, she could already imagine the image of the number one unparalleled beauty of the Demon Realm as described in the original novel.

After a long time, the demon egg did not move.

"Am I silly? How can I communicate with a newborn demon that has yet to hatch and knows nothing."

Han Shengyao placed the demon egg into her sleeve and her eyes narrowed in thought. Her sudden interest in this demon egg is a little strange but she has always acted according to her nature, so since she decided to accept the demon egg as her disciple, she would certainly not go back on her word.

Thinking of this, Han Shengyao's lump of demonic energy surged up and the hem of her clothes flew. She lightly took the demon egg and flew towards the Ninth Floor of the Demon Palace.

Lin Qianshuang was startled by the stimulating experience reminding her of a roller-coaster. She screamed a few times during the 360-degree turns and since she did not have hands to support herself, she instinctively shrank deeper into the warm embrace.

Slow down, slow down, you're flying too fast.

Help, save me!

She felt like her heart was about to beat out of her chest. She felt dizzy and her head buzzed as if she was given a heavy punch, she was about to faint.

Han Shengyao was a demon at the Ninth Layer of the Earth Profound Realm who had already condensed her Demon Nascent Soul(2). If she took one more step and crossed the boundaries of the next realm, she could become a proper demon at the rank of Demon Sovereign. She roughly understood the beast language spoken by the demon egg and soothingly caressed it as she said with a soft tone, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

A wisp of deep purple fog clad with demonic energy flew across the clear sky and fell on the misty clouds, rushing towards a barrier made out of demonic energy.

Standing atop the steep fiery red mountain in the Demon Realm was the magnificently towering Ninth Floor of the Demon Palace. At the foot of the mountain, many demons were gathering around the vast silver lake and the moment they felt a powerful demonic energy approaching them, all of them prostrated on the ground submissively.

Han Shengyao landed on the sixth floor of the Ninth Floor of the Demon Palace and walked into her abode. Just as she opened the door, four slender teenagers dressed in disciple uniforms with differing styles came over and surrounded her with shining eyes.

"Master, you're finally here, we've been waiting for a long time!"

A pink-clothed boy squeezed out of the other three disciples while holding a bowl of spiritual fruits and said curtly, "This is the latest spiritual fruit picked by this disciple, it is very sweet. Master, would you like to taste it?"

The remaining three disciples were unwilling to back down and crowded up.

The green-clothed boy prepared a cup of fragrant tea and stepped forward respectfully as he presented it in his hands, saying, "Master, this disciple took some good spiritual tea from Kunlun Immortal Mountain. Please come and taste it."

The blue-clothed boy leaned forward with a blooming smile on his face, "Master, you must be tired. Take a seat and I'll give you a massage on the back."

The yellow-clothed boy placed his hands around Han Shengyao's neck and whispered in her ears ambiguously, smiling as he said, "Master, this is your disciple's freshly made red lipstick, come and try it. Do you still like the colour?"

Lin Qianshuang who was still inside the sleeve of Han Shengyao came back to her senses after a while. When she heard the voices of the four people, she immediately judged who they were.1

In the original novel, Han Shengyao at first, secretly had a crush on the Demon Emperor. But because she was the Sage who had to guard the spiritual veins of the Demon Realm, she was not allowed to be in contact with love and would remain chaste for the rest of her life. In order to solve that longing, she took in four disciples that had features resembling the Demon Emperor such as his eyes and his eyebrows and named them Spring (Chun), Summer (Xia), Autumn (Qiu) and Winter (Dong) respectively.

They were said to be her disciples but Han Shengyao never cared about these four people. She treated them as servants and handymen but if she was in a good mood, she would occasionally teach them a move or two.

Later on, the Demon Emperor gave Han Shengyao's hand-in-marriage to Liang Jingxuan who had become the leader of the Human Realm's Immortal Alliance for his interests. The two grew affectionate with each other and the four disciples were eventually executed by Liang Jingxuan and were thrown into the Demon Pool.3

Lin Qianshuang was recalling the plot until an interface suddenly appeared in front of her, the female character's rescue strategy was written on it.

Han Shengyao's avatar was unlocked and below her portrait was a bar marked as 'Favorability'. Two-thirds on the Favorability bar was a special arrow that was marked as 'The Turn of Life and Death'.

In addition to Han Shengyao, there were three other avatar portraits that have yet to be unlocked and were blacked out.

[Host, as you can see, you need to stop Han Shengyao's fate of marrying Liang Jingxuan. Based on your previous comments on the novel, your mission is to assist Han Shengyao in becoming the new Demon Emperor.]

Lin Qianshuang looked at the Favorability bar, feeling that it was a little strange and said, "What's the matter with the Favorability bar? Do I still have to fill it up? I'll say it first, I'm straight, and this is a stallion BG(3) novel which is the main sexual orientation(4) of this world."7

[The host only needs to reach the Fate-Changing arrow and complete the target's rescue mission.]

Listening to the system's explanation, Lin Qianshuang breathed a sigh of relief and secretly calculated in her heart. According to the Cang Lan beast's words, the Demon Emperor had cast a curse on its body and Han Shengyao's fate lies in the life and death of the Demon Emperor.

A smile revealed itself on Lin Qianshuang's 'face', she had a sense of clarity. The key point was the Demon Emperor, as long as he died, then there would no longer be any problems.

But first, her 'brows' slightly furrowed, she had to find a way to turn back into a human.

Han Shengyao took a spiritual fruit from the bowl and took a bite, leaning on the stone seat covered in snow fox fur with a lazy demeanor.

The blue-clothed boy, Dong, rubbed her shoulders. The pink-clothed boy, Chun, gently massaged her legs. The yellow-clothed boy, Qiu, held a fruit tray and fed her grapes while sitting in her arms. The green-clothed boy, Xia, sat on the table and prepared tea, offering a cup of sweet and delicious flower tea from time to time.

Han Shengyao slightly closed her eyes in comfort, took out the demon egg from her sleeve, and threw it towards Xia who was seated on the table pouring tea. She said lazily, "This demon egg is my new disciple. From now on, I'll leave it under your care. I'll be going to the demon palace to see the Demon Emperor. I'll be staying here tonight, so remember to clean up the room."

Xia hurriedly caught the egg with a hint of surprise on his face. Han Shengyao never accepted disciples, but instead, collected young boys with thin physiques and faces that looked like the Demon Emperor. On the surface, they were called disciples, but in actuality, they all knew that in the eyes of the others residing in the demon palace, they were but a group of lowly male pets.

But now, Han Shengyao brought back a demon egg and said she took it in as her new disciple. Could it be that she was finally accepting an actual disciple?

It wasn't just Xia who was thinking this way. After Han Shengyao left, the remaining three disciples surrounded the demon egg on the table with curiosity. As if seeing a novelty, they continued to surround, squeeze, and rub the egg.1

Qiu looked at the ordinary-looking demon egg with a dazed look in his eyes, "I'm not dreaming, am I? Master actually took in a demon egg of unknown origin as her disciple. Could it be that Master has the ability of foresight and this chubby little thing will grow up to look like the Demon Emperor in the future?"3

Dong let out a cry and covered Qiu's mouth, sending a nervous look towards the attendant standing outside of the cave, saying, "Third brother, keep your voice down. Our Master's secret love for the Demon Emperor must not leak out."

Chun let out a sigh from the side. The fact that Han Shengyao secretly loved the Demon Emperor was known to everyone, but no one dared to spread it, because everyone who did were found dead.

Qiu took away Dong's hand and said to Xia, "Second brother, you have the highest cultivation level among us, what do you think about this matter?"

Xia picked up a teacup, poured a cup of tea, and drank it. He examined the demon egg on the table and said, "Since the Master brought back this demon egg, there must be something extraordinary about it."

When Dong heard Xia's words, he suddenly said with a look of interest, "You guys, is this demon egg male or female? What should we call it in the future, junior brother or junior sister?"1

Chun came closer to look at the demon egg on the table and poked its soft shell which had the sweet smell of milk. He poked a few more times. His eyes sparkled as he looked at the other three people: "Second, Third and Fourth brother, it would be great if the demon egg hatched out to be our junior sister. I've always dreamed of having a junior sister."

"This demon egg doesn't have a name yet, so let's work together to give our junior brother or sister a name."

The corners of Lin Qianshuang's mouth twitched as she listened to the four teenagers surrounding her while talking excitedly. She silently conveyed her message using her sea of divine consciousness.

The cup in Xia's hand suddenly shook and the tea splashed on the stone table. A few crooked words formed on the stone table.1

'I have a name. My name is Lin Qianshuang.'3
