Chapter 159: Collector

Published on

Creak—

The sudden sound of the door opening nearly scared Chu Feng’s soul out of his body. There was no time to put it back, so he hurriedly stuffed it into his clothes, then shut the wardrobe.

After doing all this, Chu Feng’s eyes darted around as he pretended to admire the scenery.

Su Tiantian walked into the bedchamber. Seeing the panic in the little rascal’s eyes, her gaze moved past Chu Feng to the wardrobe. Noticing the door hadn’t been fully closed, she understood everything at once.

Her heart trembled slightly. Could it be that after she had just given the little rascal those black stockings, he couldn’t hold himself back and took more of her things…?

“Haha… Your Majesty, you’re back. This place is really big…yeah, really big!”

Chu Feng’s tone was a bit stiff, showing a hint of embarrassment. After all, he had almost been caught red-handed.

He didn’t even know what had been going through his mind just now!

“My bedchamber is naturally large. However, little rascal, the wardrobe behind you contains all of my clothes. If you open it without my permission, even though I favor you, I will still…”

At the end, Su Tiantian let out a cold snort, clearly warning Chu Feng not to touch the wardrobe.

In an instant, cold sweat poured down Chu Feng’s back. Hearing the Demon Empress’s icy tone, if she discovered what he was hiding in his clothes…

“Y-Yes! I understand! Please rest assured, Your Majesty…I definitely won’t touch it again!”

He hurriedly nodded and said, while silently thinking to himself, “That starts counting from now.”

Afterward, Su Tiantian lay down on the bed, and before long, her steady breathing could be heard. Her long legs, previously hidden beneath her skirt, were now revealed. Her full thighs were slightly pressed together, and her fair skin was especially eye-catching.

Looking at the Demon Empress who had fallen asleep, Chu Feng, feeling guilty like a thief, slowly got up and quietly walked toward the wardrobe.

Taking advantage of this perfect moment while the Demon Empress was asleep, if he could just put the fabric back, everything would be fine.

Standing in front of the wardrobe, Chu Feng deliberately glanced back. Good…she was still sound asleep.

He raised his hand, just about to touch the wardrobe, when a hollow ethereal voice came from behind him.

“What are you doing?”

His body suddenly froze. Chu Feng slowly turned around, only to see that the Demon Empress was already awake, her golden eyes now slightly dark and ominous.

“N-Nothing… I just couldn’t sleep, so I was taking a walk.”

“Oh? Is that so?”

Su Tiantian smiled playfully. Then, Chu Feng’s body flew toward her uncontrollably, wrapped up by her large fox tail.

Thump!

Chu Feng’s body once again fell onto the bed, just like the previous night.

“Hmph. You are now this Empress’s toy, so behave properly as a toy. Do you hear me?”

Immediately after, Su Tiantian seemed to treat him like a human-shaped pillow, hugging him as she fell asleep once more.

Chu Feng swallowed hard and tried to see if he could break free. If this continued, he wouldn’t be able to put it back tonight. If the Demon Empress noticed tomorrow while changing that something underneath was missing, he felt like he’d be able to say GG with a smile.

As for the result….of course it was useless. The gap in strength was right there. Chu Feng simply couldn’t break free. Moreover, surrounded by that intoxicating fragrance, waves of drowsiness began to wash over him.

The next day, Chu Feng woke up and immediately felt that his mouth was very dry.

He turned his head and realized the Demon Empress was no longer beside him. A perfect opportunity!

He immediately got out of bed, preparing to put it back. But just as he stepped down, the door creaked open, and a pair of large, bouncing rabbit ears came into view.

It was the rabbit-eared girl and behind her was the green-haired woman.

Well… that’s it. Chu Feng was completely dumbfounded. So they really weren’t going to let him put it back.

“Human, since you’re awake, come with me.”

Xiao Qing said calmly.

And just like that, Chu Feng’s plan failed once again.

At this point, along with the black stockings, he already had two personal items belonging to the Demon Empress.

Was he… about to walk down the path of becoming a collector?

***

Heaven Devouring Sect.

Inside the main hall, a young man with First-Rank cultivation sat in the seat of honor, while beside him stood a middle-aged man respectfully.

The middle-aged man was Venerable Void, the Sect Master of the Heaven Devouring Sect, possessing peak Eighth-Rank cultivation and currently the cultivator within the sect most likely to break through to the Ninth Rank.

Ever since the Heaven-Devouring Great Emperor passed away, the Heaven Devouring Sect had gradually declined.

At present, within the ancestral ground, there was only one Ninth-Rank ancestor still in slumber. If not for the immense wealth left behind by the Great Emperor, the Heaven Devouring Sect might not even be able to maintain its position as a first-rate force.

“Young master… are we still going to make a move against the demon race?”

Venerable Void spoke with some heartache. On this trip alone, of the three elders, two had died and one was crippled. The loss of a Seventh-Rank expert was extremely significant, especially since the sect was already beginning to lack new talent.

If not for the fact that this young man had awakened from the ancestral ground and that the slumbering Ninth-Rank ancestor had instructed that everything be done according to the Young master’s words, claiming the sect would once again dominate the cultivation world…he would have long since expelled him from the sect.

Right after waking up, he disliked the Holy Son and killed him outright. He also remarked that the Holy Maiden’s appearance was decent and barely qualified to be his maid. In the end, he even uprooted the medicinal garden that the sect had painstakingly cultivated for thousands of years, leaving not a single plant behind.

This series of actions made Venerable Void cough up blood in anger.

This trip to the demon race was supposed to be about negotiating over spirit mines, yet it ended up angering the Demon Empress!

That was the Demon Empress! An existence who ruled over seventy percent of the demon race. Even superpowers would not dare to provoke her lightly.

Just now, the demon race sent a message: if the Young Master is not handed over within seven days, the Demon Empress does not mind razing the Heaven Devouring Sect to the ground.

He had already sent requests for aid to the surrounding superpowers, hoping they would intervene and save the Heaven Devouring Sect.

“What’s there to panic about? With me here, even if the demon race invades, I can still protect the Heaven Devouring Sect. The grand protective formation left behind by that brat Tun Tian…if fully activated, even if the Demon Ancestor himself arrives, it will be able to hold him off.”

Li Jiuye waved his hand dismissively. Compared to that, he was far more interested in the current Demon Empress of the demon race.

“Compile a detailed report on this Demon Empress and deliver it to me shortly.”

“Young Master, may I ask what you intend to do with this information?”

“Heh, there’s no harm in telling you. Only someone of her caliber is worthy of becoming my, Li Jiuye’s, wife.”

The corner of Li Jiuye’s lips curled as he spoke calmly, as if this were the most natural thing in the world.

“Conquering the demon race is only part of my plan. As for the Sky-Mending Stone that’s been causing such a stir lately, I will obtain it as well. In this life, now that I have truly emerged, I will definitely ascend to immortality!”

Afterward, Li Jiuye stood up and said to Venerable Void, “You only need to do as I say. Leave everything else to me.”

Thud, thud—

Li Jiuye slowly walked out of the main hall.

However, a storm surged within Venerable Void’s heart.

Mad! This was a complete madman!

A thousand years ago, the Demon Emperor slew a Ninth-Rank Great Demon King. This was the first Ninth-Rank cultivator to be killed in four thousand years within the cultivation world.

Even his own ancestor was inferior to that Ninth-Rank Great Demon King.

For the sake of the sect’s continuation, after a moment of hesitation, Venerable Void decided to secretly make contact with the demon race’s envoy, hoping the Demon Empress might show mercy and leave behind a spark for the sect’s survival.

As for this Young Master, as the sect leader, he was responsible for the lives of tens of thousands of disciples. Not for blindly obeying this youth.
