After Being Rejected by Senior Sisters, My Demoness Master Actually Gave Herself to Me

Chapter 37: The City Lord of Luoyang City

“You can’t kill me! I serve Zhang Hongyan, the direct disciple of the Joyful Union Sect’s Sect Master!”

Ye Shu controlled the Great Silver Sword without hesitation and slashed forward. With a splat, blood sprayed, and a head rolled to the ground.

Only three remained!

They wore expressions of utter despair. No matter what they said, the young man in the sky wouldn’t hesitate for a moment. When it was time to kill, he would kill.

“Sister Zhang! Save me! Please save me!”

One of them jumped off the dueling platform and scrambled toward Zhang Hongyan on all fours.

“How dare you! Stop right now!”

In the span of a few breaths, Zhang Hongyan had watched half of her male companions be slaughtered. Her face turned livid with rage.

Seeing one of her male companions crawling toward her, she rushed forward.

After all, this was her dog!

She couldn’t let him be killed so recklessly!

“If you want to die, keep moving forward.”

Suddenly, a soft whisper reached her ears, sending chills down her spine. Her movements immediately froze.

It was as if she had been hit by a paralysis spell. She stared at the veiled woman, feeling an overwhelming spiritual pressure emanating from her.

Zhang Hongyan’s knees went weak, and she felt an irresistible urge to kneel and prostrate herself on the ground.

Forget about saving her male companion—she couldn’t even take a single step.

She was utterly terrified.

Who were these two people?

“It’s over, it’s over!”

Back on the dueling platform.

Ye Shu controlled the Great Silver Sword and swiftly killed the man who had jumped off the platform. Now, only two male companions remained.

They finally faced reality and dropped to their knees, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

“We were blind! Please, spare us!”

“It was all Big Horse Monkey’s idea! He’s already dead! We’re innocent!”

The two of them kowtowed until their foreheads bled, wishing they could call him “father,” but fearing he wouldn’t accept them as his sons.

At the brink of death, they were willing to do anything.

Ye Shu paused for a moment, a faint smirk tugging at his lips. “Oh? So the two of you are innocent?”

Hearing this, they saw a glimmer of hope and quickly replied:

“Yes! We’re innocent! We’re only at the Foundation Establishment stage! How could we dare to attack you?”

“I see.”

Ye Shu nodded, as if he believed their words.

Then, with a crack, their necks were severed by the sharp sword. Without another word, their bodies collapsed lifelessly.

“You really thought you could play me for a fool, huh?”

Ye Shu shook his head, walked over to their bodies, and used their clothes to wipe the blood off the Great Silver Sword.

He felt no remorse for their deaths. They had dared to attack him and wanted to cripple him. None of them were innocent.

After finishing, he sheathed his sword and calmly flew down from the dueling platform.

Watching his decisive and ruthless figure, the crowd, which had been too shocked to speak, finally found their voices.

“Who is this guy? He just killed six people without a second thought!”

“Today is the Lantern Festival! How dare he kill like this? Doesn’t he fear divine punishment?”

“Enough of that! How dare he kill in the inner city? Does he not care about the City Lord at all?”

“Just wait. It won’t be long before someone comes to deal with him!”

Killing someone during the Lantern Festival was a grave disrespect to the immortals and a direct challenge to the City Lord.

It wouldn’t be long before the City Lord of Luoyang City, renowned throughout the region, arrived to teach this reckless young man a lesson.

Ye Shu seemed oblivious to the murmurs.

He strolled back to Luo Jiuyan’s side, casually tossing the flower ball in his hand. With a cheerful smile, he said, “Yan’er, I’ve kept my promise and grabbed the flower ball. Don’t forget what you promised me!”

Luo Jiuyan fell silent for a moment.

Thinking about what she had promised Ye Shu, her face flushed red, but she nodded. “I know.”

This time, she had no intention of brushing him off. Since they were out in the open now, there was no need to maintain her usual aloof demeanor as his master. Besides, she had made the promise herself.

Ye Shu glanced at Zhang Hongyan, who was on the verge of collapsing and kneeling before Luo Jiuyan, and casually remarked, “Oh, by the way, I killed a few beasts earlier. Seems like it might cause some trouble.”

“Trouble?”

Luo Jiuyan shook her head lightly and replied indifferently, “No trouble at all.”

Killing a few beasts was nothing. Even if they were to slaughter the entire Luoyang City, it wouldn’t be worth fretting over.

Indeed, it wasn’t troublesome.

“Just who are you people?!”

Zhang Hongyan couldn’t help but ask again.

Hearing their nonchalant conversation, she felt a chill run down her spine.

When she had mentioned being the direct disciple of the Joyful Union Sect’s Sect Master, they hadn’t even batted an eye.

In fact, they seemed to find it laughable!

Who were they? Where did they get the confidence to act like this?

“You’d better honor your bet. Don’t forget the promise you made earlier!”

Ye Shu knew Luo Jiuyan was growing impatient and didn’t have time to waste on further chatter. He urged Zhang Hongyan to fulfill the bet so that Luo Jiuyan could be in a better mood.

“This…”

Thinking about the price of losing—having to shout ten times that her master is a bitch—Zhang Hongyan was at a loss for words. She was so ashamed she wished she could crawl into a hole.

Even if she managed to return safely, if her master found out about this, she wouldn’t escape punishment!

But under Ye Shu’s sharp gaze, she didn’t dare refuse.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she sneered, “Screw that! You’re about to die!”

She seemed to have spotted someone approaching amid the growing murmurs of the crowd and smiled brightly, waving at the figure in the distance.

“City Lord! Come quickly and deal with these scum!”

Ye Shu turned to look.

In the night, a black figure flew toward them.

It was a middle-aged man, tall and imposing, wearing a cloak and carrying a large black blade on his back. An aura of terrifying killing intent surrounded him.

Wherever he passed, people quickly made way, not daring to get close.

This was Liu Dachun, the City Lord of Luoyang City.

A cultivator at the Soul Separation stage.

Once a bloodthirsty and ruthless killer, he had, for some unknown reason, left the demonic sect Blood Slaughter Sect eighty years ago and come to this remote city. He overthrew the corrupt officials and took over as City Lord, beginning to manage the city.

Unexpectedly, under his governance, Luoyang City began to thrive and prosper, rivaling even some larger cities in recent years.

He took great pride in this.

Thus, he loved the city as if it were his life.

Anyone who dared to cause trouble, kill, or plunder in the city would face severe punishment—or even his personal intervention!

Today, during the Lantern Festival, such a grand occasion, he had heard that someone was causing trouble and killing at the lantern-viewing event.

He couldn’t sit still and immediately rushed over.

With the guidance of the concerned crowd, he set his sights on a young man who was unbelievably handsome.

Liu Dachun glared at him. “So, you’re the one causing trouble in my city?”

“That’s right!”

Ye Shu didn’t deny it.
