Chapter 183.1 What Talent! (1/2)
In one of Divine Dragon Island’s valleys!
More demonic cultivators gathered, but none acted recklessly because She Qingqing was present. As for the million pounds of spirit stones, they now felt they had no hope of snatching them. Most importantly, they wouldn’t dare fight for them!
“Wang Ke, why are you here?” She Qingqing looked at Wang Ke with a confused frown. She also looked curiously at Long Yu, who was standing next to him.
“Uhh, this…!” Wang Ke tried thinking about how to explain things.
“Oh? I heard that you broke up with your girlfriend, so you found a new Dao partner?” She Qingqing asked curiously.
“Who said we broke up? How did you find out about this?” Wang Ke was at a loss.
She Qingqing explained, “We have undercover agents in the righteous sects, and they heard it from the Heavenly Wolf Sect’s disciples. Princess Youyue’s father separated the two of you and gave you a million pounds of spirit stones as payment for breaking up with her. That made you feel depressed for quite a while, hiding and weeping daily on top of Sword-study Peak!”
Wang Ke’s face froze, “What the hell! Who’s spreading this rumor? Who wept every day? Who broke up? Damn it, I’ll give a good slap in the face to the one spreading this rumor if I find them! How dare they spread such a rumor?”
“Brother Wang, we already know everything,” a demonic disciple said, “Later on, some brothers from the Qing Capital reported that you were in a relationship with Zhang Li’er! You even took a beating for her sake, until you vomited blood! It’s a pity that the righteous and the demonic forces are irreconcilable. Neither of you dared to openly declare it, and both tried to put a distance between the other. But the more you tried, the more it made people suspect the two of you. In the end, she was taken away by the Golden Crow Sect Lord. I also heard that the Golden Crow Sect gave you money for breaking up with her!”
“Nonsense. Who said that? There’s nothing between Zhang Li’er and me! There was no breakup fee! I didn’t get even a single pound. Who spread this rumor? Who!? Who is slandering me and sullying my innocence?” Wang Ke raged.
Another demonic disciple stared at his fellow demon and said, “That’s enough. Can you please shut up? Brother Wang found a new wife! Why are all of you still mentioning his ex-girlfriend in front of his new girlfriend?”
“Oh, yeah. That’s right. Brother Wang, eh no… This sister-in-law, please pretend that I said nothing!” that demon immediately apologized.
Wang Ke: “……!”
Long Yu: “…………!”
Long Yu looked at Wang Ke with a frown, while the latter immediately explained himself, “You guys are mistaken. There is nothing between Long Yu and me…!”
But before he could finish his sentence—the injured black-robed men started barraging Tong An’an with curses.
“Tong An’an, you b*stard! It’s all your fault!” one of the black-robed men angrily berated the man, “Wang Ke was enjoying his time on a secret date with this pretty lady in the forest; he had no time to bother about us. Remember how much hurry he was in! He wanted to avoid us and get on with their business. But damn it, you insisted on stopping him. See what you have done! We’re all in deep shit thanks to you!”
Everyone turned their eyes toward Wang Ke and Long Yu after he finished talking.
“Secretly dating in the forest? In a hurry? Avoiding them to get on with their business?” A demonic sect disciple looked at Wang Ke in astonishment.
“You guys are getting the wrong idea here!” Wang Ke explained himself anxiously.
However, everyone was nodding. “We understand! We get it!”
“You get it? My a**!” Wang Ke cursed in frustration.
“Brother Wang, look! Your new wife hasn’t even spoken. You’re a man! Why are you trying to explain so much? She’s admitting to it already!” another demonic disciple pointed out.
Wang Ke: “……!”
Indeed, Long Yu stayed silent, merely standing next to Wang Ke. Moreover, she didn’t even look angry, and Wang Ke was at a loss about what to do. Long Yu will be in an awkward spot if this mess continues. After all, in this wilderness, for a man and a woman to come here… What else can they do?
She Qingqing looked at Wang Ke and asked, “Everyone was saying that you disappeared. How did you end up with a woman here, on Divine Dragon Island?”
“I accidentally fell into the Miasmic Sea and drifted for more than a month. Thankfully, Long Yu saved my life!” Wang Ke explained.
“Oh? You’ve been together for more than a month already?” She Qingqing asked curiously.
“More than a month! Alone with this lady! Brother Wang, good fortune shines on you! And with a healthy body to boot!” said a demonic disciple with a chuckle.
Wang Ke: “……!”
Why do all of you keep interpreting things along those lines? There’s nothing between us!
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Wang. God Wang Tower still stands after the Dragon Gate Assembly. Everything carried on as usual; no one went to cause any trouble!” a demonic disciple replied.
“Of course! Brother Wang saved so many brothers from the demonic sect during the Dragon Gate Assembly massacre! How can we let Brother Wang’s home be crushed while he’s not around? You must be joking!” said another demon.
“Uh!” Wang Ke was a little stunned.
I was just trying to minimize my financial losses, but actually many people somehow ended up guarding the building for me?
“The demonic sect? Sigh. The entire situation in the demonic sect started to change after the Demon Sovereign died!” said another disciple between sighs.
“Oh? The Demon Sovereign died? I remembered the big explosion… Did you guys find the Demon Sovereign’s corpse?” Wang Ke asked curiously.
“How could there still be a body after an explosion of such magnitude? Both the demonic and the righteous sects combed the place to find his remains. Unfortunately, they didn’t even find a piece of him; that’s why everyone believes he’s dead! Many righteous disciples celebrated his demise. On the other hand, it was a shame for the demonic sect; the righteous faction became more arrogant and counter-attacked some of our branches. It’s really…!” A demon sighed.
“The Demon Sovereign died. The demonic sect doesn’t have anyone to lead it?” Wang Ke’s face turned serious.
“That’s right,” She Qingqing nodded and said, “Se Yutian sent an invitation some time ago, asking Zhu Hongyi to head over to Demonic Dragon Island to discuss the nomination of a new Sect Lord!”
“Demonic Dragon Island? The headquarters where the Demon Sovereign used to live?” Wang Ke asked Long Yu.
Isn’t Long Yu the Demon Sovereign’s maidservant who had just escaped from there?
“They want to nominate a new Sect Lord? Heh, Se Yutian has the gall to nominate a new Sect Lord?” Long Yu frowned.
“Wang Ke, your new cultivation partner knows quite a bit about the demonic sect, huh?” She Qingqing asked curiously.
“Uhh, yeah. She’s also one of us!” Wang Ke explained.
“Oh?” Everyone was caught by surprise.
One of us? We have never seen her before! We would have long known about her because of her beauty alone! But this is our first time seeing her…
