So I Am A Demon Descendent! - Chapter 71

“Are you well, Battle Lady? What’s the principle behind this?” The newbie, Li Xianyu, could not understand this at all.

She landed one blow on her head and scolded, “Meat stool, you’re hopeless. Farewell.”

Was this how San Wu used her pure heart here? Were her words really so powerful?

What was even more strange was that Thunderbolt Battle Lady really woke up. The confusion in her eyes disappeared, her look was clear again, no longer affected by the formation.

The four people consciously kept a certain distance from Long Aotian. Long Aotian walked in front, while they walked behind. Whenever Long Aotian turned his head, they were all quiet as they smiled back at him.

“A pure heart which can break free of the illusions, is a kind of spiritual power. Similar to the head-on stick of Buddhism, the Pure Heart Mantra of Taoism. As for the lines, I taught her to say this, in order to better stimulate Battle Lady and let her understand the reality.”

Li Xianyu said, “That’s a good way for her to do so.”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady was speechless.

These two people were toxic. If this was not the wrong occasion, she would teach them how to be human.

Long Aotian seemed to find it too boring to walk alone, so he slowed down and chatted with the three people side by side. He said that he felt that several of them were quite familiar, but he couldn’t comprehend why.

Wasn’t it obvious enough? They were all in the same company.

The few of them were too lazy to explain. Li Xianyu casually said that this was due to affinity.

After almost being “extracted” by Qingqing, Li Xianyu was scared of using the words “kindred spirits”. He no longer used these words casually.

In the south of Infinite City was the Long residence, a garden-style mansion covering a vast area. The courtyards were densely concentrated; there were thousands of people living there. It was virtually another prosperous city, within a city.

“There are seven countries on the map of the mortal realm. The Infinite City is the core city of the Infinite Empire. It also has five major forces, four noble families as well as the royal family. The Ye family is also the present Long family, one of the forces of Infinite City. The Long family is regarded as the base camp, hence the extravagant design,” Lady Killer explained.

He did not keep his volume down in Long Aotian’s presence. Li Xianyu was worried as he said, “Keep your voice down. It’s not good if he hears you.”

Lady Killer waved. “It’s okay, he will automatically avoid topics related to the real world.”

One could never wake up an eternal sleeper.

After a long while, they had not reached Long Aotian’s residence. Instead, they met many cousins of Long Aotian. They were all dressed smartly and looked strikingly handsome and beautiful.

By contrast, Long Aotian’s looks paled in comparison.

Li Xianyu felt that this was the authors’ fault, because most of the writers online were decadent dogs. Poverty had influenced their thoughts. When describing a character, they subconsciously referred to themselves, in order to describe the ordinary hero.

For example, the author of My Sister is a Big Star was a prime example. Both the male and female leads were rich and powerful.

“Well, isn’t this the silly son of our patriarch? Why don’t you practice in the yard today? It’s sunny. Aren’t you the famous martial arts fanatic within our family?” A young man laughed.

“It’s so pointless, pretending to be diligent and hardworking to win sympathy,” another young man said.

The princes poked fun at each other, while the women by their side chuckled graciously.

Another man said, “He also brought his boorish friends into the residence. The two young women are very beautiful, but the two men are plain-looking. They can’t be shown to the world.”

Plain-looking? Was he referring to me? Are you serious?

Li Xianyu had only a few advantages in life. With his looks, he was an expert who had dated many young ladies online. Lady Killer was also good-looking, with a pair of seductive eyes, enough to make women weak in their knees.

Faced with the insults of his brothers, Long Aotian looked calm as he stood up straight, with his hands by his side. “What if someone in the world slanders me, bullies me, insults me, laughs at me, despises me, hates me and deceives me? What should I do?”

After a pause, he continued, “I might as well bear with him, give in to him, leave him alone, avoid him, be patient with him, respect him, and ignore him. In a few years, let’s look at him.”

The crowd was slightly astonished.

At this time, Long Aotian had turned away. From behind, his shadow appeared tall and proud.

Li Xianyu was speechless.

That’s right. Long Aotian was indeed a fanatic of Xiao Baiwen. Ten years ago, this was the exact sentence that the protagonist used.

After a few moments, they finally arrived at a courtyard. They passed through an arch-shaped gate, and entered a very beautiful small garden.

There was a path paved with soft stones, with beautiful flowers and shady trees on both sides. There was a clear pool and a pavilion in the middle; in the pavilion sat a girl in palace wear, who was stunningly beautiful.

“Cousin!”

Hearing the noises, she looked towards them, smiling brightly. She took small steps and walked towards them, right into the embrace of Long Aotian.

Long Aotian smiled heartily as he pulled out a flower hairpin. “Linglong, I specially bought this for you at the market.”

“How beautiful!” the girl exclaimed in joy.

“As long as you like it.” Long Aotian showed a heartfelt smile.

This was Li Xianyu’s first time seeing Long Aotian smile like this. The world was illusory, but unbelievably close to reality. Here, you could experience what would not be experienced in reality. Those things purely existed in everyone’s fantasy, which evoked a bittersweet feeling. Most people could only face up to reality, ultimately. However, in this virtual world, one could enjoy one’s life as much as you like.

Li Xianyu felt inexplicably downcast.

This little sympathy was not enough for Li Xianyu to change his impression of Long Aotian. He was still heresy in his eyes.

The world was controlled by older women and younger women. However, it was the older women that prevailed.

The girl took the hairpin happily, and then shyly asked Long Aotian to put it on for her. She swirled around and her skirt floated. “Cousin, is it beautiful?”

Long Aotian replied, “It looks good.”

They acted lovey-dovey for a while, before realising that other people were present around them.

“Cousin, who are they?” The girl looked at Li Xianyu curiously.

“Some friends I just met today,” Long Aotian introduced them one by one.

“Hello, Prince Zhao,” the girl greeted Li Xianyu pleasantly.

Lovely! My eye candy!

However, Li Xianyu’s eyes only paused on the girl’s face for 0.01 seconds, before he looked upwards at a 45 degree angle. “You are too courteous.”

One of the three laws of Long Aotian’s novel was: “if you want to live well, you’d better be gay.”

He could not keep his eyes on the woman’s face for more than three seconds. Otherwise, Long Aotian would show his displeasure.

“Bully my brother, I’ll kill your family.

Bully my woman, I’ll break your manhood.

I can bully your brother, but you can only tolerate it.

I can sleep with your woman, but you still have to tolerate it.”

This was the fate of Xiao Baiwen’s male leads. Li Xianyu, who had been hooked on Xiao Baiwen’s novels since he was in junior high school, understood the way his supporting characters acted in order to survive.

However, Lady Killer did not realize this. He stared at Long Aotian’s cousin a few times, but did not realize that he had frowned quite a few times.

“Miss Linglong is blessed. She is a perfect match with Brother Aotian.” Li Xianyu quickly rushed to his teammate’s aid.

“How so…?” said the girl shyly.

Long Aotian smiled gently and looked at Li Xianyu with more sincerity.

Subsequently, Li Xianyu and the others resided in the Long residence temporarily. Long Aotian was a martial arts fanatic. After helping them to settle in, he left for his training.

Li Xianyu sat in the room with Thunderbolt Battle Lady and Lady Killer to discuss the next countermeasures, and unanimously decided to take it one step at a time, slowly looking for opportunities.

Thunderbolt Battle Lady frowned. “I always feel like I’ve forgotten something.”

Li Xianyu was stunned. “It’s like having a picnic outdoors with a tool. On the way back, I always feel that I’ve forgotten something. Looks like it isn’t just me.”

Lady Killer looked at them and asked, “Have you forgotten anything?”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady looked at San Wu and asked, “Do you feel that way?”

San Wu replied, “Not at all.”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady said, “Oh, that might have been my illusion.”

Li Xianyu said, “Let’s keep talking.”

…

Near the brothel a distance away, King Kong crouched on the roadside and waited, as the sun set. However, he saw no signs of Li Xianyu and the rest. He had wanted to go in and find them for a few times already, but upon seeing the scantily-clad women, he felt disgusted and did not do so.

“They’re so slow. When will they come out?” King Kong sighed to himself.
