"I'm going to what now?"
"At first I was just going to ignore your corrupted cultivation skills and just eat you, but now I found out you're the girl Yu Yang wants back. But why should I even listen to a human? I'm not one to keep promises."
"Corrupted cultivation skills?" She repeated, feeling quite offended.
"You can trigger others to go through Qi deviation, can't you?" He exposed with a victorious smile.
Yu Xuelan's throat dried and her breath stop slightly. She didn't know how this Earth Demon God knew since the only time she did it during this life was to Luo Ran.
"I love that expression! Yes! Was no one supposed to know that you had such a corrupted ability?!" He laughed. "I wonder what your sect would think if you murdered someone that cruelly!!"
I remember Changying mentioned that one of his lairs used to be located around Yang Forest. But I should've sensed it if he was there... Are my skills that rusty now??
Normally, Qi deviation occurred when individuals succumbed to their internal demons, practised cultivation incorrectly or rashly used forbidden arts. This should only happen because of personal issues, never from external factors.
"You forced that mistress back at the village to undergo deviation right on the spot! Even though she was only rank one of cultivation practice!" He laughed in amusement.
Yu Xuelan stared at the man in awe at his knowledge of her actions.
"Well, I don't care who the fuck you are, but I am going to make use of you. I'll make sure Si Shi returns to where he belongs and I'll just make a replica of you and send that one back to that fish bastard's place."
Yu Xuelan responded calmly, "When you give a proposal, shouldn't the other party get something in return?"
"You sneaky woman- Alright. How about I won't kill that cultivator from Zheng Long?"
"What kind of offer is that? No thank you," Yu Xuelan rejected. "I thought someone as great and mighty as you would know how to do business."
Bo Fan widened his eyes at the sudden attack of words, "What did you say?!"
"Well, if you have nothing else to offer, I will not work for you," she blurted with a mocking smile. "Why do you want a disgusting cultivator to work under you anyway? Don't you hate my existence? Is your demon army not enough?"
"Listen here you twat, don't get me wrong, I can defeat that arrogant fool easily!" He laughed, "But it'll be more fun to watch him get overthrown by a no face cultivator! Imagine how humiliated he would be!"
"I apologise, but Qi deviation doesn't apply to demons," Yu Xuelan responded.
Bo Fan immediately narrowed his eyes and glared at the tied up girl. "How long are you trying to fool me? I've seen what you did to those useless monkeys. You shattered their demonic roots completely."
His knowledge amazed Yu Xuelan once again, but she was not that surprised, considering how much noise they made.
"Ah, you're annoying me. You're just as annoying as that fish bastard and bird shit. Maybe I should just eat you right now."
He threw the scroll onto the ground and reached out his arm, grabbing ahold of Yu Xuelan's wounded arm.
Bo Fan's grip tightened as he dug into her skin with his nails. Just when he was about to rip her arm off, he carefully examined the girl once again.
He threw her arm back and stood up, walking around the girl slowly. Yu Xuelan watched closely as Bo Fan brought his fingers to his mouth, slow and unhurried.
Bo Fan scoffed, "I'm feeling quite nice today, so I'll give you one more chance. Work for me or get eaten by me. Choose. I won't give you back to that bastard because who knows what kind of weird shit he and you would do."
He licked his fingers, drenched in her blood, shivering in pleasure by the taste of freshness.
"Why don't you just work for me?"
Yu Xuelan pondered for a bit while Bo Fan watched her in anticipation.
"I refuse."
The demon clenched his jaw, and veins began protruding from his temples.
"Then I guess I'll just kill you."
He walked closer and closer, each step grew heavier and unsteady. His smile also gradually became larger, smearing across his entire face while he salivated in hunger.
The sudden release of killing intent suffocated her. It had been so long since she was around such an environment and especially since Lin Yuhe's body hadn't been frequently exposed to demonic energy; it made her feel even more nauseous.
"AHH! WU ZHITIAN! HELP ME! YOUR DISCIPLE IS GOING TO DIE!" she screamed while rolling on the ground.
"What the fuck?!" He blurted in surprise and yanked her by her hair.
"WU ZHITIAN!!"
"AHAHA HOW PATHETIC! THIS AREA IS SEALED WITH A BARRIER! NO ONE WILL DARE ENTER HERE!"
"AH!! WU ZHITIAN! I PROMISE I'LL STUDY HARDER!!"
"And not have weird dreams about you," she mumbled under her breath.
"YOU-!"
Before he could finish his sentence, a loud beam blasted the door as half of the room collapsed down, displaying a silhouette of a tall figure that stood out amongst the nightfall.
One hand held the rat demon, while the other held a white sword.
