Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

"Wow, senior sister, you're amazing! Timothy is usually so aloof, and yet you managed to catch his attention so easily!"

"Absolutely, I always knew senior sister could do it. No matter how scandal-free Timothy has been, when faced with such an outstanding woman like senior sister, he's bound to fall."

"Senior sister is incredible! When it comes to your wedding with Timothy, I'll definitely send the best wishes!"

The female disciples of the Cloud Pavilion Sect cheered in waves.

However, these words only made Aria's embarrassment more apparent.

"Senior sister, what's wrong? You look a bit off."

"No, no, I'm just trying to keep up with senior brother Timothy," Aria said, feeling more guilty amidst the praise.

Thinking back to the earlier scene, she suddenly realized that Timothy had never really paid any attention to her.

It was as if he hadn't acknowledged her presence at all...

"It's all because of that woman," Aria thought bitterly.

If it weren't for her, Timothy would have surely been attracted to her by now.

Just because she was a step slow, she missed such a precious opportunity.

"Just you wait, the dangers deep in the canyon aren't something a minor disciple like you, who even has to hide her own cultivation, can handle."

Watching Holy Maiden Aeliana walking ambiguously close to Timothy, Aria clenched her fists in secret.

...

People had already started heading deep into the canyon, and with a twist in the space ahead, several different paths emerged, all seeming to lead to a common destination.

"It's about to start."

"Who is Goddess Sylvia's boyfriend?"

Outside the forbidden area, the leaders of Radiant Monastery, Goldspire Peak, and Sword Peak Sect were all nervously watching the scene in the crystal ball.

After all, Faelan's investigation could reveal earth-shattering news!

The three of them watched the crystal ball intently, not daring to miss a moment.

Meanwhile, Faelan had already begun to check each passerby one by one.

"Young man, did you drop this top-grade pure Mana Crystal? Or is this Energizing Herb, which every man desires, claiming to keep you going for 2 hours?"

The disciple, rushing towards the depths of the canyon, paused and looked at Faelan, who appeared ethereal and misty, emitting an aura just like a soul specter.

No wonder the Undead Sanctuary, with its long-standing secret grounds, was filled with precious treasures!

The disciple was overjoyed and didn't hesitate at all: "Of course I want the top-grade pure Mana Crystal! That's worth a hundred regular Mana Crystals!"

"Boom."

However, just as he finished speaking, Faelan kicked him fiercely, sending him flying like a kicked ball.

"You spineless thing, are you even a man! You don't want the Energizing Herb, which is so important? You must be a bachelor for a hundred years!"

Soon, another person arrived.

When Faelan spoke, the second disciple smiled subtly: "Old man, even as a ghost you're not serious, trying to tempt me with Energizing Herb. Important as it may be, how can it compare to a top-grade pure Mana Crystal? I'm not a fool to fall for that."

"Boom."

Another kick sent him flying.

Next.

"No way, no way, are people still thinking about finding a woman? Isn't being single great?"

"Who in their right mind wants Energizing Herb? Only a fool wouldn't choose Mana Crystal!"

"Old man, you seem pretty weak, you better use that herb yourself."

"..."

After thousands of disciples passed by, Faelan finally found two who were interested in the Energizing Herb.

But these two oddballs clearly had no connection to Goddess Sylvia.

He had already questioned many of the disciples from Sky Sanctuary who had come by.

The hopes of the other Sects were slim, so he had to pin his hopes on the remaining half of the Sky Sanctuary disciples.

"What's with the values of young people these days? If it were me, I'd trade all the Mana Crystals for that Energizing Herb."

"Ah, these disciples are still too young. But it's precisely because of this that we can better identify Goddess Sylvia's lover, after all..."

"Cough, some things are better left unsaid."

While the three were discussing on the other side of the crystal ball, Faelan's gaze suddenly sharpened.

At the other end of the canyon, a familiar figure was slowly approaching.

"Timothy!"

Next to Timothy was a female disciple from the Cloud Pavilion Sect and a woman in a black robe, whose details even he couldn't discern.

Timothy was the first one Faelan had ruled out as an absolutely impossible target.

However, after much thought and out of caution, Faelan decided to give it a try.

"Hey, young man. Is this top-grade pure Mana Crystal yours, or is this Energizing Herb, which no normal man would ever pass up?"

Faelan suddenly floated in front of Timothy, a smug smile on his lips.

"What will Timothy choose?"

On the other side of the crystal stone, the three were all a bit nervous.

Would it be the Mana Crystal, or the Energizing Herb?

"Are you a ghost?" Timothy asked.

"Yes, I am a spirit that wanders the Grim Expanse, bringing heritage to young people daring enough to enter the forbidden lands and selecting the qualified prodigies. Tell me, which of these two items do you really want?" Faelan asked with a deliberately benevolent smile.

"Which one do I want? I've come all the way to the Grim Expanse, of course, I can't just choose one. Only kids make choices, I want them all!"

As Timothy spoke, a subtle and profound aura swirled around him.

Enlightenment Body, shameless!

The path of cultivation is long, isn't it?

Only the shameless reap the greatest benefits!

How could he let go of an old man, a mere spirit, laden with treasures?

"Old man, don't run, hand over everything you have!" Timothy stepped forward, pressing towards Faelan.

Faelan was completely dumbfounded.

"This is the Enlightenment Body, this is Timothy?"

Faelan had seen shameless, but he had never seen anyone this brazen!

"Don't come any closer, don't think I'm an easy target! One more step, and I'll fight you. Really, I'm not lying!

Ah!"

Soon, a scream echoed through the canyon.

Faelan, skilled in various spells and alchemy but not in direct combat, had no chance against Timothy, who was at the peak of the Mystic Core.

After a thorough beating that left Faelan powerless, Timothy unhesitatingly plundered all the treasures from his body.

Dozens of Energizing Herbs, various precious magical treasures, spiritual medicines...

Faelan, beaten to a pulp, was stunned, and so were the three watching through the crystal stone.

Damn, is this something a normal person would do?
