NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 22: Is This Junior Sister’s Love Child?
Chapter 22: Is This Junior Sister’s Love Child?
Qing Yunzi wasn’t surprised when Ye Shu stepped forward. “I was going to come for you eventually. I didn’t expect you to be so proactive.”
“Fine. Beating these weaklings is boring. It’s time I test the waters of your Heavenly Fiend Sect.”
“How deep are they? Or can I just stomp through them?”
As he spoke, he mimed stomping on the ground, vividly illustrating his disdain for the Heavenly Fiend Sect.
This scene infuriated the Heavenly Fiend Sect disciples even more!
“You dog! Do you even know your own level? How dare you speak like this!”
“Our Heavenly Fiend Sect is a cut above your Demon Sword Mountain. Where do you get the confidence to say such things!”
The crowd was incensed. It was well-known that the Heavenly Fiend Sect stood alone at the top among the ten great demonic sects.
Even the Demon Sword Mountain, which focused on sword cultivation, had to bow to their superiority.
Yet in his eyes, the Heavenly Fiend Sect was nothing!
How infuriating!
Qing Yunzi sneered, “It’s true that you’re above us, but only because of your sect leader. Without her, the Heavenly Fiend Sect wouldn’t be what it is today!”
“If the Nine Nether Demoness Luo Jiuyan weren’t here, you rabble wouldn’t have the status you enjoy now!”
His words dripped with contempt, with the sole exception of his reverence for Luo Jiuyan, the Nine Nether Demoness.
It seemed that apart from Luo Jiuyan, no one in the Heavenly Fiend Sect could earn his respect.
Of course, Bai Rourou, whom he fancied, was an exception.
Over the past half-month, as he defeated one Heavenly Fiend Sect disciple after another, his conviction had only grown stronger.
This was a bunch of rabble!
Without Luo Jiuyan, they were nothing!
Naturally, that included the so-called Demon Prince standing before him. Apart from his rapid cultivation progress and good looks, what right did he have to demand respect?
In Qing Yunzi’s eyes, it wouldn’t be long before Ye Shu became just another one of his defeated opponents.
“Is that really what you think?”
Ye Shu stared at him, the Great Silver Sword in his hand emitting a faint dragon’s hum.
Qing Yunzi’s gaze was immediately drawn to the sword in Ye Shu’s hand, his eyes burning with desire. “What sword is that?”
Ye Shu coldly met his gaze. “Answer my question first.”
Qing Yunzi chuckled. “I’ll be honest. Not just them, but even you—I don’t think much of you!”
After saying this, he lowered his head, his eyes filled with obsession as he stared at the silver-white sword. “But this sword… it’s quite something!”
He could tell at a glance that this sword was of an exceptionally high grade!
To think it was in the hands of this guy—what a waste!
“Good.” Ye Shu nodded, not angered by his words.
Instead, he gently stroked the sword in his hand and continued, “You look down on me, but I’ve never thought much of you either!”
“You!”
These words snapped Qing Yunzi out of his fascination with the Great Silver Sword. He glared at Ye Shu. “If you’re so eager to be humiliated, I’ll oblige!”
As he spoke, a wave of spiritual energy rippled out from his body, surging in all directions.
The Heavenly Fiend Sect disciples felt the force of this spiritual wave and were too frightened to speak loudly.
“Damn, this guy from the Demon Sword Mountain truly lives up to his reputation!”
“I heard he’s already at the Golden Core stage. I wonder if it’s true.”
“It must be true! My senior brother is at the mid-Golden Core stage, and he was defeated by him!”
“This is bad! He’s a monster! Demon Prince has just entered the Golden Core stage. How can he beat this guy?”
“I can’t bear to see our Demon Prince being bullied!”
Amid the murmurs, Bai Rourou, standing beside Ye Shu, also wore a worried expression.
Although she had sparred with Ye Shu before and knew he was strong, this time his opponent was the quasi-Demon Prince of the Demon Sword Mountain—a prodigy who had reached the Golden Core stage at the age of twenty.
Even though Ye Shu was no slouch, Qing Yunzi’s undefeated record in the Heavenly Fiend Sect spoke for itself.
He could even fight above his level…
Considering all this, Bai Rourou felt that Ye Shu’s chances of winning were slim.
“Junior Brother, let’s not be impulsive. We can leave this matter to our master to mediate and preserve the sect’s dignity.”
Bai Rourou whispered her advice. As long as they didn’t start fighting, there was still room to maneuver!
Ye Shu couldn’t lose!
Whether for his own pride or the honor of the sect’s Demon Prince, this battle couldn’t be lost!
When the odds were so stacked against him, the safest option was to avoid the fight altogether.
As long as they didn’t fight… it wouldn’t count as a loss!
At this tense moment, two figures appeared in the distant sky, silently observing the scene.
One was a stunning woman in a purple robe, her beauty enough to topple nations.
The other was a mature, elegant woman dressed in sword-patterned attire.
The former was none other than Luo Jiuyan, the sect leader of the Heavenly Fiend Sect!
The latter was Wu Meiyue, the wife of the Demon Sword Mountain’s master and Qing Yunzi’s mother.
She was also the guardian who had brought him here as part of the exchange program.
At this moment, Wu Meiyue smiled sweetly at Luo Jiuyan and said, “Big Senior Sister, what do you think of my child? This is the fruit of my love.”
In truth, she had another hidden identity—she had once studied under the same supreme demonic master as Luo Jiuyan, making her Luo Jiuyan’s genuine junior sister!
Today’s conflict finally gave her a chance to show off!
Watching her son wreak havoc on her big senior sister’s turf, she felt a deep sense of satisfaction!
Luo Jiuyan didn’t respond, her gaze calm as she watched Qing Yunzi.
But inwardly, she was in turmoil!
Damn it! How could this foolish junior sister give birth to such a sword prodigy? How is this possible?
Luo Jiuyan could clearly see Qing Yunzi’s talent and strength.
Even she had to admit that the kid was impressive.
And that was something she couldn’t accept!
Why could a junior sister with average talent and aptitude produce such an outstanding child? What had happened?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became!
This was the fruit of their love…
At this thought!
Luo Jiuyan’s face flushed, her heart racing as she watched Ye Shu stroke his sword with unshakable confidence.
A face so handsome it defied description!
The very face that was now standing below, facing off against Qing Yunzi.
If he and I…
What kind of genius could we produce?
No!
Luo Jiuyan pinched her fair thigh to snap herself out of it.
Under Wu Meiyue’s expectant gaze, Luo Jiuyan replied indifferently, “He’s nothing special.”
But in her heart, she was seething with jealousy. What’s so great about that?
If someone as foolish as you can produce such a genius, imagine what I could do…
Luo Jiuyan pursed her lips, a faint smile appearing.
Wu Meiyue, completely unaware of her thoughts, was incensed by Luo Jiuyan’s words. “Big Senior Sister, do you really think your disciple can defeat my precious son?”
At this, Luo Jiuyan fell silent for a moment before forcing herself to say calmly, “Of course!”
Her hands clenched into fists, and she couldn’t help but feel nervous for Ye Shu.
She knew Ye Shu’s defensive abilities were exceptional, and she had confidence in him.
But Qing Yunzi was a natural-born sword prodigy, a peerless master of the sword path, specializing in lethal sword techniques!
Even ordinary Golden Core cultivators were no match for him.
Could her precious disciple really win?
Even Luo Jiuyan had her doubts.
But she had no choice. Her only hope now was Ye Shu.
Down below, as if sensing her thoughts, Ye Shu stepped forward at that moment.
He gently stroked the Great Silver Sword in his hand and smiled at Qing Yunzi. “Let’s see your sword!”
