Yan Xiaoru was somewhat torn and feeling down.
As the esteemed elder of the Demonic Sect, only in front of Aunt Su did she not maintain the cold and aloof demeanor of an elder.
After all, Aunt Su had watched her grow up, and after her parents died, it was Aunt Su who raised her.
Though officially master and servant, Aunt Su was the last family Yan Xiaoru had in the world.
Seeing her young lady’s worried expression, Aunt Su smiled slightly.
“Miss, if you want to know what’s on his mind, just call him over and ask.”
“Although Li Muyang is cunning and has many tricks up his sleeve, his nature is still quite pure.”
“If you treat him sincerely, Miss, he will surely respond with genuine feelings.”
As an elder, Aunt Su naturally saw things more clearly.
Apart from the disparity in their status and identities, another reason was that both of them were too polite.
They never inquired into each other’s secrets and were extremely courteous and cautious in their interactions.
This wasn’t necessarily bad, but being too cautious and polite made their relationship seem odd.
Even knowing about Miss and Li Muyang’s affair, it was hard for her to see them as lovers in love.
When others are in love, they only have eyes for each other, and their gazes are filled with sweetness.
But not her young lady.
Every time she and Li Muyang made eye contact, they would subconsciously avoid each other’s gaze, being so polite and cautious that it gave Aunt Su a headache.
Aunt Su sighed and said,
“Miss, guessing a thousand times here is not as good as calling him over and asking.”
This suggestion seemed to strike a chord in Yan Xiaoru.
Yan Xiaoru seemed tempted.
But the next second, she shook her head and gave up.
Burying her face in the pillow, Yan Xiaoru murmured in frustration, “No, it won’t do! That slippery guy has too many secrets, and he likes to be secretive in his actions.”
“If I ask too much, he’ll definitely find me annoying, and he might even suspect that I have ulterior motives.”
In the world of the demonic path, where deceit and treachery abound, Yan Xiaoru didn’t want Li Muyang to misunderstand her intentions.
“And if I take the initiative to call him over, what would that guy think of me?”
“After that kind of incident, he didn’t come to me, but instead, I can’t wait to find him… How could I do that!?”
“If I go to him, that slippery guy’s tail would probably be up in the air, getting too full of himself.”
After a long speech, Yan Xiaoru seemed to have convinced herself and nodded seriously.
“Right, I can’t take the initiative to find him. I’ll see when he comes to see me… Hmph…”
Having made her decision, Yan Xiaoru still felt somewhat indignant.
She huffed in frustration.
“If he never comes to find me, thinking he can hit and run without being accountable, I’ll definitely have to teach him a lesson!”
Having come to this conclusion, Yan Xiaoru finally made up her mind, feeling that she had handled it perfectly.
Meanwhile, Aunt Su looked on helplessly; seeing her young lady’s petulant demeanor, she was somewhat amused.
Her young lady, who had been diligently practicing demonic arts for many years and seldom dealt with affairs, was a cold and reticent elder of the Demonic Sect in front of others but somewhat childish in private.
After so many excuses and reasons, it all came down to being upset with that young man.
Aunt Su shook her head helplessly.
But in her view, although the young man Li Muyang was young, he acted quite maturely and was very diligent in his cultivation, otherwise, he wouldn’t have reached the Golden Core realm so quickly.
His seclusion was likely genuine cultivation.
But since the young lady said so, Aunt Su could only shake her head helplessly.
“Let’s see when that young man comes to find you,” Aunt Su said resignedly.
However, no sooner had she finished speaking than Yan Xiaoru’s face suddenly turned red.
The term “young man” struck a nerve.
Yan Xiaoru glared at Aunt Su with embarrassment and said with a flushed face.
“That guy is not a young man at all. What kind of young man is as shameless and scheming as him!”
“Aunt Su, why do you have to emphasize his age?”
As the elder of the Demonic Sect, high and mighty, yet she had fallen for a teenage boy…
This was absolutely the most shameful thing in Yan Xiaoru’s life.
If outsiders knew that she, a powerful figure in the demonic path, had fallen for a seventeen-year-old boy… It would be utterly humiliating.
The proud and cold image of the demoness she had carefully maintained over the years would collapse in an instant.
She would become a laughingstock!
Therefore, Yan Xiaoru reacted strongly to the word Aunt Su had used.
Seeing her young lady getting flustered, Aunt Su almost couldn’t hold back her laughter.
In terms of mental age, miss, you indeed aren’t more mature than that young man…
However, realizing that laughing here would probably cause the miss to faint from embarrassment, Aunt Su managed to suppress her amusement, keeping a serious and stern face without revealing the slightest smile.
She apologized repeatedly, promising never to say that word again.
Then she respectfully curtsied and excused herself.
“I shall take my leave now.”
Aunt Su said, “If the miss has any instructions, just call for me.”
With that, Aunt Su hurriedly left, fearing that if she stayed any longer, she wouldn’t be able to help laughing out loud at the miss’s embarrassed and awkward expression.
In Yan Xiaoru’s quarters, Aunt Su’s interaction with Yan Xiaoru was unknown to Li Muyang.
At this moment, he was in a fog-filled underworld, incarnated as an evil god battling mysterious assailants.
The plot of “Deadly Weed” had reached this point, with the lengthy storyline nearly concluded.
Through this extensive narrative, Li Muyang had indirectly learned some hidden truths from ten thousand years ago.
But what was crucial now was to rescue Xiao Yecao.
Facing three powerful enemies, Li Muyang’s pride in his gaming talent was repeatedly crushed.
Even though he had transformed into an evil god and possessing the evil god’s status and combat power, he was still overwhelmed and defeated by the Scaly Lord’s 51 flashy skills and the relentless attacks of the three mysterious assailants.
In the games he played in his previous life, even the notoriously difficult Souls series, a boss’s attack patterns were ultimately limited.
One only needed to familiarize themselves with the boss’s moves to quickly beat the game.
But the mysterious assailants in front of him, three of them, each had dozens of different deadly moves and spells.
The strongest villain wielding the Dragon Spine Sword even had two forms.
With the Dragon Spine Sword, he had over thirty attack moves, and without it, he had over sixty.
Li Muyang tried hard to adapt to the mysterious assailants’ attack rhythms and respond accordingly.
But the complex battlefield information often overloaded his brain’s CPU.
His own 51 skills were also flashy and dazzling, adding to his confusion.
After another crushing defeat, staring at the failure CG that popped up, Li Muyang sighed in frustration.
“This is really a fight that requires skill…”
Of all the games he had played in his past and present life, none were as difficult as this.
The main issue was the comparison of combat power between him and Xiao Yecao against their opponents.
Unable to overpower them with stats, he had to rely on skill to make up for the difference in numbers.
But making up for the numerical gap with skill was easier said than done,.
The challenge posed by these three mysterious assailants was so great that Li Muyang was almost ready to give up on the game.
He felt that if he kept on losing , he might have to quit his gaming addiction.
The ultimate mission reward was indeed not so easy to obtain!
