Chapter 32: He really doesn’t like ordinary women
For some reason, Yun Luoxi didn’t want to see the images forming in her mind.
In fact, she already didn’t want to witness what was happening in front of her.
It was an instinctive rejection!
Subconsciously, she resisted seeing Ling Xue get too close to other women.
“Just because she’s a woman, does she get special treatment? Hmph!” Yun Luoxi softly snorted.
She continued, If I wasn’t mistaken if this woman fully submitted to Ling Xue, Ling Xue would likely take her under his command. Because she was a beauty, she would be recruited.”
“Wasn’t Ling Xue just like most men?”
“How was he any different from those who couldn’t resist a beautiful woman?”
Liu Wenwan, standing beside her, shook her head.
Whether or not Ling Xue truly intended to do this, even if he did plan to, it had nothing to do with her, right?
Yet, she seemed to care a lot about this happening.
Liu Wenwan sighed.
It seemed her disciple had unknowingly developed some feelings she shouldn’t have, and Yun Luoxi herself probably wasn’t even aware of it.
On the other side, the black-robed woman looked at Ling Xue in front of her, feeling his teasing touch. She hesitated, wavering.
If she wanted to survive, the only way was to confess everything truthfully!
And then… switch sides and pledge loyalty to Ling Xue.

If he truly valued her, this could be her chance at life!
It could even be an opportunity to infiltrate Ling Xue’s side as a spy.
“I am an imperial guard of His Majesty, the Emperor of the Taixuan Empire!” She confessed immediately, “I was merely following orders!”
“Taixuan Empire?” Ling Xue narrowed his eyes slightly.
The Taixuan Empire of the Yuanyang Continent—this was the empire of the original protagonist, Ye Feng.
Ye Feng was the illegitimate son of the current Emperor of the Taixuan Empire, something Ling Xue knew well.
Ling Xue continued calmly. “If I’m not mistaken, the Taixuan Empire couldn’t possibly send this many Divine Source cultivators to be sacrificed, could they?”
The Taixuan Empire only had around ten Divine Source cultivators in total.
Now, seven had shown up at once.
It was clear that the others were not from the Taixuan Empire.
“The other Divine Source cultivators did not come from the Taixuan Empire!” The black-robed woman explained, “The major factions learned that the Demon Lord would visit the ancient tomb, so each sent one Divine Source expert to eliminate you—or rather, to test you!”
These seven Divine Source cultivators came from seven different major factions.
Seven major factions, all seeking to eliminate the Demon Sect!
Originally, they planned to retreat unscathed, thinking that even if they couldn’t kill Ling Xue, they could at least probe him and then withdraw safely.
But no one had anticipated just how terrifying Ling Xue would be!
Even if seven more came, it wouldn’t make a difference.
With the power of the Qiankun Sword Art, only someone at the Extreme Martial Realm could challenge Ling Xue!
“So, what are the origins of the other six Divine Source cultivators?” Ling Xue asked again.
“I don’t know! I was just following orders; I don’t know their identities or backgrounds!” The black-robed woman shook her head.
“Are you sure you don’t know?” Ling Xue’s blood-red eyes bore down on her.
“I truly don’t know!” The black-robed woman nodded hastily and continued, “The Demon Lord was absolutely right earlier—loyalty is loyalty, no matter to whom. A wise bird chooses the right tree to perch on. From now on, I am willing to follow the Demon Lord!”
However, Ling Xue merely smiled faintly.
His hand slowly moved upward, gently stroking her pale neck. “If I’m not mistaken, your name is… Cheng Ying?”
Upon hearing this, the black-robed woman was startled. “How does the Demon Lord know my name?”
Indeed, her name was Cheng Ying. But she had never met Ling Xue before!
She thought, How could he know this?
Ling Xue merely gave a cold smile and said nothing more.
Cheng Ying, in the original story, was one of the personal guards of the Emperor of the Taixuan Empire. She had had a few lovers in the past and eventually became one of the protagonist Ye Feng’s concubines.
In the original tale, she had helped Ye Feng quite a bit and was inexplicably loyal to him.
A woman like her was someone, Ling Xue, of course… did not need!
“Demon Lord, as long as you wish, from now on, everything I have will be yours!” Cheng Ying continued, pushing out her chest slightly as she spoke.
She was confident in both her appearance and her figure. She believed she could hold some allure for Ling Xue.
But Ling Xue only smiled faintly. “Unfortunately… you haven’t been useful enough!”
As he spoke, his hand, which had been stroking her neck, suddenly grabbed her throat tightly!
This sudden move made Cheng Ying’s face change drastically.
So… he had never intended to let her go from the start?
“Demon Lord, I…” Cheng Ying tried to speak, but it was too late.
Before she could finish her sentence, blood-red energy surged from Ling Xue’s palm.
In her final moments, her blood vessels glowed blood-red beneath her skin.
And then… Boom!
With a loud sound, her body exploded into a cloud of blood mist and dissipated.
In truth, it didn’t matter where Cheng Ying had come from—Ling Xue had no intention of letting her live.
If someone wanted him dead, what reason did he have to spare them?
Among all those in the world who sought his life, aside from Yun Luoxi, he had no reason to spare anyone.
This scene, in which Ling Xue once again obliterated a Divine Source cultivator, caused a shudder among those still alive.
So… even if it was a woman, even if it was a stunningly beautiful woman, he wouldn’t let them go?
In front of him, everyone faced the same fate!
If they threatened him, if they attacked him, death was inevitable!
No seduction or beauty could sway him—it simply didn’t exist!
To him, there were no “beautiful women”—only enemies and allies!
If someone was an enemy, it didn’t matter if they were beautiful or not—he would show no mercy.
This scene, too, was witnessed by Yun Luoxi from a distance.
When she saw Ling Xue crush Cheng Ying on the spot, she was utterly shocked!
This was… not what she had expected.
So, Ling Xue’s gentle demeanor toward Cheng Ying earlier was all just an act?
Was he truly… this ruthless and cold-blooded?
Did he never actually take Cheng Ying seriously at all?
Had he never intended to recruit her into his ranks?
Yun Luoxi suddenly recalled what Ling Xue had once said in the Demon Sect.
Why, with so many women in the world, would he choose her?
Because… he didn’t care for anyone else!
It’s not like just a random woman can catch his eye!
At this moment, Yun Luoxi was convinced.
He really doesn’t like ordinary women!
