This Demon Cultivator dared to guarantee that no other Demon Cultivator has ever encountered a situation like his.

Unlike the ancient times when they were once dominant and rampant, nowadays Demon Cultivators hold a very precarious position. With the concerted cleanup efforts of the Imperial Palace and various major powers, the Demon Cultivators were on the brink of extinction. Most of their inheritances were seized as spoils of war and stored in the Imperial Palace.

As long as a sufficient number of people were killed, a Demon Cultivator could rapidly level up. His cultivation reached the Divinity Transformation Stage by killing a few here and burying a few more there.

Though he appeared glorious as a Divinity Transformation Stage Demon Cultivator, he felt more like a homeless dog who didn’t even dare to venture into bustling places.

As you can imagine, he was ecstatic when he came across this small town.

This Demon Cultivator felt that heaven must have pitied him and had bestowed this small town upon him.

In his eyes, the inhabitants of the town were not humans, but rather his future cultivation improvements.

Surviving to the present day meant that every single Demon Cultivator was cautious. He was worried that the disappearance of such a large town would attract attention from the Imperial Palace, leading to his inevitable death. As such, he didn’t take action immediately. Instead, he disguised himself as a traveler, living cautiously while investigating the situation of the town.

He designated himself as a middle-aged man with no family, just looking for a place to earn his livelihood. Thus, he found a job at a restaurant, and the owner happily allowed him to work there as a waiter.

Restaurants are usually the hub of information, and being a waiter made it easy for him to gather intelligence.

For an entire month, he put his heart and soul into his performance, trying his best to blend in as a real waiter.

Finally, he found out that the town was almost isolated from the outside world. The only Nascent Soul Stage being was the mayor of the town.

It seemed that even if everyone in the town died, no one would notice.

What a blessing!

The Demon Cultivator was overjoyed, unable to contain his excitement. He planned to sacrifice the entire town in order to advance his cultivation!

Consequently, he set up a Blood Sacrifice Array that would surely kill everyone below the Golden Core Stage.

As expected, all the residents were dead. The idea that he could improve his cultivation through blood sacrifice was ludicrous.

It was only after the failed blood sacrifice that the Demon Cultivator realized that there was not a single living soul in the town, only corpses. The town mayor’s necromancy was so sophisticated that even he, at the Divinity Transformation Stage, failed to notice anything unusual.

He had been living foolishly with corpses for a whole month, even painstakingly collecting information and setting up the Blood Sacrifice Array!

Recalling the hardships he had suffered over the past month, the Demon

Cultivator felt that he was a joke and that it was an insult to his intelligence!

If word of all this got out, he would not be able to show his face in the Jianghu anymore!

No, on second thought, the Demon Cultivator realized that if it were known that he was a Demon Cultivator, it wouldn’t matter whether he could mingle anymore. The question would be whether he could survive at all.

Despite hundreds of years of being cautious, he was still infuriated. He was determined to trap Aiysu and put her in a situation where she would have no way out.

However, considering Aiysu’s good looks, he decided to have his way with her first.

Unfortunately, before he could even undress, he was kicked aside by Captain

Without needing the Demon Cultivator’s confession, Jiang Li guessed his intentions right after listening to Aiysu’s recount.

It could only be said that Aiysu’s cadaver controlling techniques were excellent.

Aiysu hadn’t killed anyone, nor had she been raped. Only then did Captain Mu calm down.

While Captain Mu found his fiancée, Aiysu found a way out for her family, and the Demon Cultivator found death. Everyone had their own bright futures.

Demon Cultivators who reached the Divinity Transformation Stage were stained with the blood of countless innocent souls.

Once a Demon Cultivator fell into the hands of the Imperial Palace, there was no way he would be spared.

“Captain Mu, this man is yours. I believe he might still be in contact with more

Demon Cultivators. Maybe, you can even uncover a whole string of them,” Jiang Li assumed that this Demon Cultivator had some connection with other Demon Cultivators, which might unravel a bigger secret.

As for how Captain Mu would proceed, that was not something he needed to bother about.

Captain Mu accepted the task. After all, he was well experienced in such things.

“So you mean, as I have passed the Gu Immortal trial and I have a Love Gu within me that connects me to you, you really are my fiancé?” Having listened to the High Priest’s account, Aiysu looked at Captain Mu with mixed emotions.

She didn’t expect to be away from the Gu clan for half a year and suddenly have a fiance sprung upon her.

However, the will of the Gu fairy is absolute. As a member of the Gu clan, she cannot defy the Gu fairy.

Moreover, this man is indeed strong and handsome, which fits Ayisu’s fantasy of her future husband.

But the thought of having to marry upon their first meeting, as though being forcibly thrust into the bridal chamber, always left her with an unsettling feeling.

“No, I think the actions of the Gu fairy are wrong. The feelings between two people are pure, how can a love bug be used for a binding connection?” Wood leader spoke with stern righteousness.

He was certainly moved by Ayisu, but saying that there was a love bug in his body that would explode if they didn’t enter the bridal chamber, was not the conduct of a gentleman.

Marrying using a love bug was a joke, and he, the Wood leader, had his limits.

The Wood leader thought that the Gu fairy must have been heartbroken by a man, which was why she came up with the idea of the love bug that creates grudges between the sexes.

“Am I not attractive?” Ayisu didn’t expect Wood leader to actually respond that way, leaving her with a complicated feeling. Even if she offered herself up, he wouldn’t take it. Did she have no charm in his eyes?

“Attractive.” Wood leader nodded sincerely, “Among the women I have met, you are the most beautiful… Wait, there is Saint Pure Heart at the forefront.” “Second prettiest… No, that’s not right, there’s also Empress Yu Yin.”

“Third prettiest… No, Mistress MO of Penglai Fairy Island also ranks ahead.”

Finally, Wood leader said with precision, “Among the women I’ve met, you are the fourth prettiest!”

He thinks this is a sincere compliment to Ayisu, and that she should be very happy with it.

The demon cultivator knew he was doomed to die. His heart should be filled with sorrow, but upon hearing Wood leader’s response, he laughed honestly, which drew Wood leader’s angry glare.

Jiang Li thought it was lucky that Wood leader had not seen the fairy of Red Dust or Great Dream Resident, otherwise Ayisu’s ranking would be even farther back.

At the same time, he laughed inwardly, with this emotional intelligence, could he actually pursue a girl?

Jiang Li thought that no one liked him, otherwise, with his emotional intelligence, wouldn’t it be easy to find a wife and start a family?

Seeing Jiang Li laugh, the High Priest knew he looked down on Wood leader’s answer, and asked curiously, “If Jiang, the Human Emperor, was in Wood leader’s position, what would his response be?”

This was the strongest cultivator in the Ninth State, so he had to ask as many questions as possible opportunity to gain something.

Jiang Li played the role of a teacher, analyzing for the High Priest, “Girls like to hear insincere words, so you must never tell them the truth.”

Jiang Li thought his logic was coherent. He did think Ayisu was attractive, but not the most attractive, and girls definitely couldn’t handle the truth. With that being the case, the answer was obvious.

“I would say directly that she is not attractive.”

The High Priest was taken aback as if he had just met Jiang, the Human Emperor.

His answer greatly differed from the High Priest’s expectations. So this is the response of someone at the Mahayana Realm, it really is unexpected.

The High Priest had a moment of enlightenment, no wonder he had been stuck at the Nascent Soul Stage without any progress, the gap in their mindsets was too great.

He thought he should learn from Jiang, the Human Emperor’s attitude, which would definitely help him break through the Nascent Soul Stage and reach the Divinity Transformation stage in the future.

Jiang Li enthusiastically stepped forward to ask, “Do you need me to help you two sever the love bug connection?”

“Sever! We must sever!” Ayisu said ‘sever’ with gritted teeth, unclear whether she wanted to sever the love bug or something else.

Jiang Li, with a smile on his face, used the Heart Sword to easily cut off the love bugs in Wood leader and Ayisu’s bodies.

Wood leader didn’t even have a chance to react.

He lamented once more that if Jiang Li was an enemy, then killing him would be too easy.

Why did Ayisu respond that way? Did he say something wrong? Wood leader was in a complete fog.

Wood leader didn’t understand much about relations between men and women, so he decided to find an opportunity to ask Jiang Li for advice..
