Chapter 2295: Fight For the Saintess’ Sake

Zu An had just received Jadefall Palace’ message a few days earlier. The message said that Pei Mianman had left behind a letter saying she was going away, and her current whereabouts were unknown. Back then, he'd been worried about her safety, but he hadn’t expected to actually find out where she was this way.

He quickly asked, “Where is this Pei Mianman now?”

For some mysterious reason, the four great clans had needed to choose a saintess. He didn’t know if she was in danger.

The Yun Clan Master replied, “She said she wanted to find traces of where her mother had been in life, so that was why she chose to wander around the Demon race's territory. They were all places where her mother had previously lived, studied, and even done great deeds. When she finished doing all of that, she would then come back and fulfill her obligations as the saintess. Since the Suolun clan’s matter hadn’t been dealt with yet, I agreed to her request.”

When he heard that she wasn’t in the Yun clan's territory, Zu An couldn't help but sigh in relief. After all, the mysterious True Demon Emissary was also there. If Pei Mianman was caught unprepared, she could. fall for their schemes.

“Thinking about the amount of time that has passed, she should be returning to the Yun clan soon,” the Yun Clan Master suddenly said, making Zu An nervous again.

He summoned the power of the world. Powerful winds appeared around the flying ship, propelling it forward at several times the speed.

The Demon race’s people were shocked.

This person really is unfathomable! He can actually change the state of the world at will!

The women, meanwhile, were already used to this. They thought to themselves that this Pei lady was definitely important to big brother Zu.

...

Meanwhile, in the Yun clan’s ancestral land, Pei Mianman had just asked a maid a few questions, learning that the Yun Clan Master had allied with the other two clans to attack the Suolun clan. She frowned. After she had the maid leave, she continued to pace, muttering, “The Demon race’s situation seems a bit strange. That True Demon Emissary is probably an alien monster. I need to contact Ah Zu as quickly as possible to make sure nothing strange happens in this world. I’ve already more or less finished investigating my mother’s affairs, anyway. Staying here any further will be meaningless.”

At first, she hadn’t known about this True Demon Emissary and just sensed that things were strange among the Demon race, so she had done her investigation in secret. Only then had she uncovered his existence. She considered staying behind to quietly ruin the True Demon Emissary’s plans, but after careful deliberation, she gave up on that idea. She didn’t have much information on this True Demon Emissary. If she thought herself clever and ended up in danger instead, and Ah Zu had to come to save her, that would be really laughable. Since the Suolun clan was resisting and they couldn't gather the Four Symbols Stones yet, contacting Ah Zu first was the most important thing.

After thinking through these things, she didn’t hesitate. She opened the door and prepared to leave in the night.

But who would have thought that as soon as she opened the door, there would be a man standing there? He was handsome, but his long and slender brows, as well as his thin lips, made him seem a bit sinister. There was a slightly narcissistic smile on his face as he asked, “Where is the saintess planning on going right now?”

Pei Mianman reflexively took a few steps back to stay farther away from him. “I wonder what brings the emissary here so late in the evening?”

“For certain reasons, the things I have been working on recently have been unable to progress, so I decided to go on a walk to see if it could bring me some more clarity,” said the True Demon Emissary.

Pei Mianman replied coldly, “If the emissary is searching for clarity, why did you come all the way here to me?”

“I have heard a lot of rumors praising the Yun clan saintess for her beauty. Now that I have seen you today, I feel that the reputation is fully deserved.” The True Demon Emissary gave her stunning features a look. Then, his eyes shifted to her voluptuous chest.

This woman’s figure really is the cream of the crop.

He bowed slightly in greeting. “The moonlight is quite nice tonight. I wonder if the saintess is willing to appreciate it with me today?”

“I fear that won’t be too convenient.” Pei Mianman directly refused. “We saintesses came to serve the Demon Deity and cannot be touched by another man. The emissary is no exception to this.”

She was going to close the door after saying that, but the True Demon Emissary’s hand pressed against it. He said, “The saintess’ words are quite uninteresting. We are all intelligent people, so there is no need to play pretend like that.”

“What do you mean?” Pei Mianman frowned slightly.

The True Demon Emissary smiled as he looked at her stunning features. A hint of greed flashed through his eyes. “The Demon race’s saintesses are all chosen to serve the Demon Deity. Putting aside the other conditions, they must be pure and spotless virgins. But you... Is that still true for you?”

Pei Mianman was shocked. She naturally understood this point. Back when they were in the secret dungeon, she had held all kinds of identities, and had her first time taken by that Zu An several times. But for various reasons, this was a secret that had always remained between the two of them.

Before she could say anything, the True Demon Emissary said, “If everyone were to find out that the Yun clan’s saintess has already lost her chastity, what consequences would that bring about? The entire Yun clan would become a joke, and the other three clans would use that as a reason to attack the Yun clan. The Suolun clan’s present experience would be the Yun clan’s future.”

Pei Mianman harrumphed. “What does that have to do with me?”

“You are someone from the Yun clan, after all. Do you not have any sense of honor for your clan?” The True Demon Emissary was stunned. He was suddenly at a loss from her reaction.

But he reacted quickly. There were some people who only cared about their own interests and wouldn’t care about their clan, after all. As such, he changed his tactics. “Apart from the Yun clan becoming the target of criticism, you will also become a blasphemer of the deity. There will be no place left for you in the entire Demon race, and your end will be miserable. You will experience the cruelest punishment the Demon race has handed down in history.”

He paused for a moment, then continued with a sinister smile, “That is why you don’t want your secret to be known by anyone else, right?”

In his mind, he felt that she had to be incredibly scared right now. Soon, she would beg him for mercy. As long as he hinted that there was a way to save her, this outstanding beauty would obey his every wish.

But Pei Mianman only sneered and replied, “Are you done yet? Just get lost if you are; my bed is waiting for me!”

Why would she care if there was no place left in the Demon race for her? She didn’t even want to stay here in the first place. She knew fully well what this True Demon Emissary was planning, and she only felt disgust.

Bang!

Just like that, the door slammed shut. The True Demon Emissary was just about to walk forward when it slammed into his nose, leaving him practically about to cry from the pain. After a moment of shock, he was furious. He kicked the door flying.

However, what met him was a blossoming black rose of fire that was filled with the energy of destruction. Even the True Demon Emissary had no choice but to take a step back. The black flames were at an extremely high level, especially the faintly visible black butterfly inside that he felt apprehensive about.

He had to admit that she was the most qualified young lady to become the saintess from the Demon race. Only, who had ended up taking her first time? When he saw the outstanding features and stunning figure of this young lady, he even started to become a bit jealous of that man. Just how blessed was that person?

“Saintess, what is happening?”

Guards rushed over when they heard the disturbance.

“This guy came here in the middle of the night to do disrespectful things to me!” Pei Mianman hurriedly said.

The guards were furious. After all, with Pei Mianman’s appearance and identity, even though she had only been in the Yun clan for a short time, she already had a lot of admirers and fans. How could they still stand it when they learned that she was almost attacked? They drew their weapons and charged at the emissary.

When he saw this, the True Demon Emissary shouted, “This saintess is fake! She is not a virgin, but a blasphemer of the deity! Arrest her!”

However, he was soon stunned, because no one listened to his orders. Instead, all of them cursed him for being a criminal, saying that he was slandering their saintess. Only then did he realize that in order to preserve his secret, he had kept his real identity from all but a few people. These soldiers would naturally trust the saintess instead.

He felt incredibly annoyed when he thought about all the things that were going wrong today. “Get out of my sight!”

An invisible force spread in all directions. Soon after, the brains of the guards at the very front exploded into a bloody mist, and they instantly lost their lives.

“Saintess, please hurry and leave. We’ll hold him off here!” The remaining guards were alarmed and shocked, but none of them were scared. Those who could be chosen to be the saintess’ guards were all the most outstanding and brave men of the entire clan, after all.

Just then, a beautiful figure rushed up to the True Demon Emissary to save the soldiers that were about to be killed. Pei Mianman remarked calmly, “Am I the kind of person to sacrifice the lives of others for my own survival? We’ll just fight if we have to!”

Immediately after, roses of flame bloomed one after another, a black butterfly fluttering around the flowers. Her aura erupted powerfully, and in that instant, it was no weaker than the True Demon Emissary’s.

The remaining guards were all inspired. They brandished their weapons and shouted, “We’ll fight for the saintess!”

The True Demon Emissary’s expression changed. He naturally didn’t fear these people, but his miscalculations had already blown the situation out of proportion. He'd thought that Pei Mianman would compromise. How could he have known that she would be so fierce and stubborn?

He could hear that the entire Yun clan was already on alert. If all those people ran over to provide aid, he would be forced into a very passive position. After all, very few people knew who he was!

He already considered the entire Yun clan his private property. Killing them off would really be too heartbreaking. Thus, he decided to wait until the Yun Clan Master returned first.

He gave Pei Mianman a look. “The saintess has really earned a whole new level of respect from me. However, I will return. In the end, you will be mine!”

He turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared.
