Chapter 100: Only Children Make Choices! (Third update, seeking monthly votes)

Li Qiushui held her head high and chest out, walking step by step toward the Great Demon.

That fearless figure, like a sword, actually made Ren Yidao's eyes sting slightly.

Watching this scene, Ren Yidao fell silent; he squinted as he watched Li Qiushui approach step by step.

When she finally arrived before him, he spoke.

"Fine."

"Since that is the case, suppress your cultivation yourself, and I will take you away."

Her footsteps stopped, and she said slowly:

"I hope you keep your promise."

Ren Yidao said immediately:

"With the Demon God as witness, I swear I will keep my promise."

For the Demon Race who believe in the Demon God, this is the highest oath that is almost impossible to break.

Once broken, all demons may join together to execute the oath-breaker, and all may divide and eat them!

Having received this guarantee, Li Qiushui hesitated no longer and struck her own chest with a palm.

*Cough! *

The aura on her body plummeted, directly sealing her own cultivation; apart from the strength of her physical body remaining, she was almost no different from a mortal.

"Now, release her."

What she looked up to meet, however, was a pair of eyes full of playfulness.

Li Qiushui: "!!!"

Wrong!

A black shadow drilled out from the ground and fiercely charged toward Li Qiushui's back.

It was a tail.

It traveled silently from underground, attacking when least expected.

Coming to deceive, coming to sneak attack!

The tail whipped against the back of Li Qiushui's head; Ren Yidao did not have even half a moment of hesitation when doing this.

"Despicable!!!"

You lied to me!

Li Qiushui glared at the Demon who did not keep his promise, about to undo her suppression.

"You!!!"

But...

*Slap, slap, slap! *

That tail was like a raised palm, continuously slapping her face.

Time and again it smashed heavily into the back of her head, directly knocking the consciousness of the already weak Li Qiushui away.

Ren Yidao looked at the furious, unconscious Li Qiushui and clicked his tongue in wonder.

To think she actually believed me just like that.

"I didn't lie to you; I said I would take you away, but I didn't promise I wouldn't take her away too."

Young people, so naive.

Do you not know that when making a deal with a demon, you must check the contract terms for loopholes yourself?

"Next time, look more carefully when signing."

Don't just sign every "Engineering Responsibility Statement" without even looking at it.

Using his tail to coil up the unconscious Li Qiushui, Ren Yidao sneered:

"Besides, you call me despicable? Didn't you also have an ace up your sleeve?"

The Ninth Princess is, after all, not a three-year-old child; she had hidden an ace up her sleeve in addition to suppressing her cultivation.

Her suppression was only a facade, one that could be unsealed at any time.

But Li Qiushui never imagined the other party would be so lacking in martial virtue.

"Furthermore..."

"Only children make choices."

"Mature adults want it all."

Such a simple truth, do you not even know this?

Not to mention, you were the one who insisted on coming up to me; you can't blame me for that!

Looking around, Ren Yidao worried about the arriving City Guard Army, and finally took the two unconscious women and hid inside the illusion of the Mei Family Village.

He also conveniently patched up the ruptured gap.

Following the instructions of Father God, Li Lingling took her Senior Sister and fled all the way toward Wentian; at this moment, they were already not far from Wentian.

What exactly was the situation over there?

She wanted to turn back, but she couldn't let go of Yu Yu, so she could only pin her hopes on Father God.

And just as she turned her head for the third time, she heard Father God's playful voice:

【My daughter, have you missed me?】

!!!

"Father! How is the situation?"

Braking abruptly, Li Lingling asked nervously:

【Since Father has taken action, it is naturally resolved; both your Senior Brother and cousin are safe and sound.】

【However, there is still a small problem over there that hasn't been fully resolved, so you should continue running toward Wentian now.】

A problem?

"What other problem? Could something still happen to them?"

She hugged Yu Yu tightly in her arms in her nervousness, forgetting to control her strength in her anxiety, and the unconscious Yu Yu almost rolled her eyes...

Fortunately, she reacted in time, so a tragedy was not caused.

【It's nothing, it's nothing, it's mainly that I have things to attend to... *cough*, in short, just set your mind at ease; I will definitely help you send them back safely.】

"Many thanks, Father!"

【Hehe.】

The deity chuckled twice before no more sound came; Li Lingling did not know why, but she detected a trace of... evil in that final chuckle?

"He shouldn't be like that, right?"

During these few interactions, this Father God of hers had been impeccable toward her, and could be said to respond to every request at critical moments.

This time, He didn't even mention the matter of offerings.

He really is a good person!

With her heart settled, Li Lingling's pace also slowed down, and she held Senior Sister Yu gently, fearing she would jolt her again.

The closer she got to Wentian, the more settled her heart became.

When she saw the city walls of Wentian, her heart was completely put at ease.

We are truly safe.

But when she walked to a place not far from the city wall, Li Lingling felt increasingly uneasy.

Something is wrong.

A Great Demon appeared outside the city; why hasn't Wentian City sent any troops to suppress it?

In order to conceal her tracks, Li Lingling, who had taken a detour, did not run into Li Qiushui, but she also did not see any large detachments of the City Guard Army.

"Why does it look like no one is going to leave the city?"

The tall city walls of Wentian City were brightly lit, and the guards were all holding torches, standing firm at their posts.

But what puzzled Li Lingling was, why were those soldiers all facing away from the outside of the city, and instead facing the direction of the city's interior?

She heard shouting from inside the city, and her expression changed drastically.

A voice was shouting in anger, the sound spreading throughout all of Wentian.

He was saying:

"Traitorous sycophants are in power, wantonly killing the innocent, bringing disaster to the world!"

"We have come together today for only one thing!"

"Clearing the Emperor's Side!!!"

……

……

"You!!?"

Clatter!

Opening her eyes abruptly, Li Qiushui flipped up, intending to fight the Great Demon who did not keep its promise to the death.

But after she saw the situation around her clearly, her expression changed.

"Xiaoxue!"

She was currently in a strange cave, and Shi Xue was lying quietly on the ground not far away, her expression peaceful, her chest rising and falling slightly.

She was draped in a white robe, her lotus-root-like arms exposed, revealing skin as white and lustrous as snow.

"Xiaoxue! What!!?"

Li Qiushui wanted to rush over, but discovered she could not move at all.

Lowering her head, her own situation was even worse than Shi Xue's.

Her four limbs were all bound by red ropes.

Not only that, but her body was also wrapped in red rope knots like a tortoise shell.

？？？

"What is this!?"

She did not know what she had encountered, but this bizarre rope knot that highlighted and outlined her figure was already enough to make her expression change drastically.

She wanted to break free, but the moment she exerted force, the rope knot did not loosen, but instead tightened more and more!

With the rope knots rubbing against various parts of her body, Li Qiushui's face flushed red, and she dared not move recklessly again.

Damn it!!!

"Who... who is this!?"

And just at this moment of collapse, slight footsteps came from outside the cave.
