So I Am A Demon Descendent! - Chapter 284

Chapter 284: Caught A Big Fish

At 4 A.M., Aoki Yui stood by the window, dressed in a silk nightgown. She stared dazedly at the potted plants in the courtyard, and sighed. She was awakened again by a nightmare.

Over the past few days she has been repeating similar dreams. Version one: In her dream, she was a helpless little girl, running in an endless mist. She was barefoot and being chased by demons behind her. She was crying out of fear. However, no matter how she ran, the devil always caught up with her. The devil was approaching with a smile, and the fog was dissipating… That face was delicate like a puppy but had a ferocious smile. That was Li Xianyu’s face.. …

She then woke up and found herself huddled by the bed, her tears wetting half of her pillow.

Version 2: She was still a delicate little girl on a bright, spacious stage. She thought she was acting on stage, and indeed, she was being humiliated during the performance.

The little puppy demon came to the stage, cackled wildly and tore up her clothes. He then humiliated her in front of countless people, and the spectators on the stage cheered with twisted and vicious faces…

She woke up from her dream with tears on her pillow.

And there was version three, version four, version five… They were all different scenes with the same themes.

Dreams come from thoughts. Aoki Yui knew that she had not overcome the trauma from the Forum Conference and the bonfire gathering.

As a young lady of the Aoki family, she was a princess when she was a child and a goddess when she was a grown up. She had never imagined that one day she would be humiliated by a Chinese man in front of thousands of spectators.

The experience was so terrible that for an esteemed young lady, the experience of the conference was an epic nightmare.

The trauma and public opinion in Japan caused her to have repeated nightmares.

“Using popular Chinese lingo, my psychological trauma is as large as 10 football fields.” Aoki Yui sighed.

“Damn Li family descendant.” Aoki Yui pulled out an uchigatana hanging on the wall. With a glint of a light, the flowers on the table were chopped off and the cuts were neat. “Don’t let me meet you at the Great Deities Palace, or else you will end up like these flowers! Hmph!”

The melodious Japanese music rang. It was her mobile phone’s ringtone.

The caller was her second uncle. Aoki Yui held the uchigatana and answered the phone. “Second Uncle, how was it?”

Aoki Takuya’s voice rang weakly through the call. “We saved him successfully, but many family members died.”

“Casualties are inevitable.” Aoki Yui heaved a sigh of relief but hearing something wrong with her second uncle’s voice, she asked, “Are you alright?”

“I have been seriously injured. I have found a safe place to treat the injuries. Don’t worry and react according to circumstances in Lianghua Temple. The people of Baoze may find trouble with you,” Aoki Takuya said.

Aoki Yui immediately thought of Li Xianyu’s left hand, and was in a state of panic. “I-I will leave Lianghua Temple immediately…”

Aoki Takuya shook his head. “That is too obvious, even if they are clear, Baoze cannot do anything to you as long as there is no evidence. But as soon as you leave, they have an excuse to investigate and even expel us.”

They’re gonna use the Li family inheritor against me… Aoki Yui was in a state of panic.

Calming down, Aoki Yui asked, “Uncle, I know Baoze was ready in advance, how did you save Li Peiyun?”

Aoki Takuya said, “Baoze is indeed prepared, and three S-class staff, the God of Apes, God of Earth, Tian Hao, and San Wu were mobilized. However, the power backing Li Peiyun is even stronger, and sent two S-class members that could rival the Ten Gods of Baoze, but I think this is just the tip of the iceberg of that power.”

Aoki Yui was shocked. She had several contact with Li Peiyun but there was no sign of any other force except the Ancient Gods Clan and the fox spirit who mastered Chinese customs.

Could it be that fox spirit?

“But even so, we barely won. It’s too dangerous, that girls’ super power is too dangerous.” Aoki Takuya had a lingering fear.

Thinking of the battle several hours ago, he still felt afraid. High-explosive grenades were not scary. What was terrifying were high-explosive grenades with GPS positioning and tracking. What was terrifying was a large basket of high-explosive grenades, all of which could lock onto someone. They were unable to hide and could only fight head on to resist those flames and shockwaves.

Baoze was well prepared and dispatched three S-Class members, and even gave that girl plenty of hot weapons. If not for misjudging the power behind Li Peiyun, this time the Ancient Gods Clan and the Aoki family were doomed.

After a few words of caution, Aoki Takuya hung up the phone. Aoki Yui held her mobile phone, with an aggrieved expression on her face.

…

Li Xianyu was woken up by Lightning King’s call. He said that something had happened and asked him to come by and donate blood.

His heart jumped and he didn’t have time to ask for details. Wearing his clothes, he came out of the room. Thunderbolt Battle Lady who was next door also came out hurriedly, her hairband in her mouth and her hands tying her hair up into a ponytail.

“Something’s wrong!” Li Xianyu said.

“Mmhmm, Lightning King told me. I’ll take you there. I drove a sports car here.” After saying this, Thunderbolt Battle Lady back-faced Li Xianyu, her butt facing slightly perked up.

Li Xianyu froze and touched the long-legged beauty’s butt.

It was as if Thunderbolt Battle Lady was electrocuted. She shivered, and her face turned red. “What are you doing?”

Li Xianyu asked in confusion, “Hey, didn’t you ask me to touch your butt?”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady raged. “I wanted to piggyback you, you asshole.”

“Then say that earlier, I’m coming.” After Li Xianyu said that, Thunderbolt Battle Lady had disappeared and he was standing in an empty courtyard.

Fifteen minutes later, he rushed down the hill and saw a red Ferrari parked in the most visible place. Thunderbolt Battle Lady sat in the driver’s seat and her expression said, ‘I’m angry, don’t talk to me.’

A few minutes later, the main gate of the area opened, and the red Ferrari was roaring away amid the growling engine. In the middle of the night, there were no cars on the road. The Ferrari was like a red bullet speeding on the national highway.

Thunderbolt Battle Lady looked ahead, with a serious expression and drove in a focused manner.

Li Xianyu held out his hand and squeezed her little ponytail. “You want to keep your hair long?”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady replied, “Mhm.”

Li Xianyu said, “I still like your short, beautiful ear-length hair.”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady was silent.

An hour later, the Ferrari entered the county and drove into a private hospital. This was a small stronghold in the county under the Rongcheng Division. It looked like a hospital but in fact was a station for Baoze employees. There were countless places like ancient post stations across the country.

They went on an elevator ride to the top-floor VIP ward, where the largest ward was at the end of the corridor. There was a row of sickbeds on the left, where a white ape, San Wu, and an honest-looking, unfamiliar man were lying.

On the other side lay King Kong, Tentacle Monster, and Night Shade. Wang Lao Er sat in a chair, wiping the bruises on his body with a medicated wine.

Li Xianyu immediately gave Wang Lao Er a look of respect. Excluding the rest, just this ability of tanking being beat up, there were not many S-classes who could rival him.

The true number one tank of Baoze.

“You’re finally here.” Lightning King’s expression was relaxed. The top nanny of Baoze had arrived.

Li Xianyu, who was working with the doctor to draw blood and make blood bags, could no longer satisfy the patients who were severely injured and dying with just one tube of blood.

Lightning King promised 50 points for each bag of blood. Li Xianyu took five packs of blood. San Wu didn’t need any. She just over utilized her power and was unconscious.

He earned 250 points and didn’t even have to put in much effort. Thunderbolt Battle Lady beside him was extremely envious.

In the empty VIP room next door, Li Xianyu was lying in bed with an IV drip. He was pale as he bled too much and over-utilized his super power.

Thunderbolt Battle Lady sat by the bed and sliced the apple. Lightning King sat on the other side of the bed.

“Lightning King, why did the mission screw up again? I have to doubt your ability to coordinate as a minister,” Li Xianyu said tiredly.

“Hey, don’t you say that. The company has thousands of tasks every day, and it’s always inevitable that some will have screw ups. Besides the tasks you’re involved in, the tasks of others are stable.” Lightning King said he was not to blame.

You think it’s always a screw up because you’re always involved in the screwed up missions. You haven’t completed any mission safely since you started on this journey.

“But I’m not involved this time… If you say my blood represents my involvement, I will fight you.” Li Xianyu glared.

“To sum up the successes and failures of this mission: one, Li Peiyun was taken away. Two, we annihilated 12 enemies, but they’re all small fish. And three, our personnel were seriously injured. The information that we obtained from this: one, Li Peiyun is indeed backed by a powerful force. Two, we captured Earth Traveler. And three, the enemy personnel are seriously injured. They probably won more. They took Li Peiyun, but we didn’t lose either,” Lightning King said. At first he wanted Li Xianyu to join the escort mission, but King Kong and Wang Lao Er nearly peed out of fear.

They would rather die than be on a team with the trouble magnet, unless the Unparalleled War Spirit was there to protect them, things would be stable… Not necessarily!

“You are just insisting that we didn’t lose?” Li Xianyu snarked.

“The goal of our mission is to draw out the forces behind Li Peiyun and capture them all. The other party is far more powerful than we think but you don’t seem surprised.”

“Tell me what happened. I understand that the forces behind Li Peiyun are at most a scattered group of people. The God of War is already a top combatant,” Li Xianyu said.

“Yes, we caught a big fish.” Lightning King smiled cryptically.
