Chapter 2: Eldest Disciple Su Yuebai
Outside the mansion, a ghostly figure flitted from one roof beam to another, and a person dressed in black landed silently in the courtyard.
Since it was Master Wang’s wedding day, no one paid any mind to this figure.
Two young servants eavesdropping outside the door were completely engrossed, utterly oblivious to the approaching danger.
Suddenly, each servant received a chop to the neck. Their eyes rolled back, and they fainted.
The paper window was pierced, and the black-clad person peered inside.
They saw Master Wang about to do something to the young woman beneath him.
The young woman’s sounds of resistance only served to further arouse Master Wang’s beastly lust.
Upon seeing Su Lingxi’s stunningly beautiful face, the black-clad person’s pupils constricted.
The spiritual energy around their body surged, and the wooden door instantly shattered into pieces.
“Who’s there?”
The loud commotion alerted Master Wang. He released the young woman beneath him and turned to look at the person in black.
Su Lingxi seized the opportunity, clutching her tattered wedding gown tightly as she hid behind the bed, observing the situation and ready to flee at a moment’s notice.
“Who might you be, Your Excellency? Why must you ruin my wedding night?”
Master Wang snorted, his expression tinged with anger. However, he couldn’t discern the other party’s cultivation level, so he didn’t dare act rashly.
“You… deserve to die!”
Seeing the frightened Su Lingxi, the person in black couldn’t help but clench their fists.
Seeing that the other party was intent on causing trouble, and noting their black night-faring attire, Master Wang understood they had come prepared.
He wasted no more words. With his cultivation, there was no one within a dozen miles who could be his match.
As for why he couldn’t see her cultivation, it must be because she possessed a spiritual artifact that could conceal her aura.
Watching Master Wang’s movements, the person in black made no extraneous moves.
With a mere swipe of a finger through the air, an invisible force instantly sliced through Master Wang’s throat.
Master Wang didn’t even have time to scream before his head rolled onto the floor, coming to a stop right at Su Lingxi’s feet.
Looking at Master Wang’s eyes, wide open in death, Su Lingxi grew even more terrified.
She repeatedly begged the black-clad person for mercy, “Please, don’t kill me! As long as you don’t kill me, I’ll do anything you ask!”
Seeing the person in black remain unmoved, Su Lingxi felt the urge to kneel before them.
It wasn’t that Su Lingxi was a coward; anyone in her situation would want to save their own life.
As long as she didn’t die, with the system’s help, she could definitely turn things around.
So, Su Lingxi begged for her life without a second thought.
The person in black was taken aback. Seeing that Su Lingxi was actually about to kneel, she suddenly grew flustered.
A gentle wave of spiritual energy lifted Su Lingxi up, and the person in black slowly removed her mask.
A face like polished jade, lips like cherry blossoms, brows like ink paintings, and a spirit like autumn waters.
The exquisitely crafted features combined to create an indescribable, gentle beauty.
Su Lingxi stared at her, stunned. She never imagined there could be such a beautiful woman in this world.
“Master… you don’t remember me… I am your eldest disciple, Su Yuebai!”
Su Yuebai knelt on one knee, clasping her fists in a salute.
This was the etiquette of the Demon Clan when facing someone of higher status.
“Su Yuebai…”
The name was incredibly familiar to Su Lingxi. In her memories, Su Lingxi had taken three peerlessly beautiful disciples.
But what she had written were merely words; she had never seen them in person.
Seeing Su Lingxi standing there in a daze, Su Yuebai understood.
She slowly rose and took a set of women’s clothes she had once worn from her spatial ring, draping it over Su Lingxi.
Seeing the bruises on Su Lingxi’s shoulders, Su Yuebai’s anger flared, and Master Wang’s corpse spontaneously burst into flames.
A few breaths later, the body turned to ash and vanished completely into the air.
“Su Yuebai…”
Su Lingxi murmured the name. Seeing that Su Lingxi was finally reacting, Su Yuebai quickly affirmed, “Yes… Master, it is I!”
“Master… your cultivation…”
Only then did Su Yuebai realize that Su Lingxi was now as frail as an ordinary person. Not only did she lack any trace of cultivation, but her constitution was also very weak.
Just as Su Lingxi was about to say something, her vision went black, and she fainted again.
Su Yuebai rushed forward and caught Su Lingxi in her arms. The body in her embrace felt so small, delicate, and boneless.
This was also the first time Su Yuebai had ever held her master. Because Su Lingxi was the Female Demon Lord.
In the Demon Realm, she could command the wind and rain. Her temperament was cold, and no one could get close to her.
Until one person appeared—the protagonist, Sheng Tianyu.
Both of them were at the peak of the Mahayana realm and had engaged in a spectacular, decisive battle. After that, Master Su Lingxi’s whereabouts became unknown, and the Demon Clan suffered heavy casualties, completely losing its leader.
But the Demon Crystal, which symbolized Su Lingxi’s life, had remained lit. This was why the eldest disciple, Su Yuebai, had taken a great risk to come to the Mortal Realm to find Su Lingxi.
She just never expected that her master would have lost all her cultivation. If she hadn’t arrived in time tonight, she feared her master’s innocence would have been lost as well.
The thought sent a wave of fear through Su Yuebai, terrified that she might have been a step too late.
But thankfully, her efforts had not been in vain. She had made it.
Su Yuebai looked at Su Lingxi in her arms, her expression softening. Without her cultivation, she naturally no longer had that aura of a ruler who looked down upon the world.
Right now, she was more like a girl from a humble, respectable family, making one want to cherish and protect her.
Su Yuebai carried Su Lingxi and left that place, flying towards a safer location.
**
Within Su Lingxi’s consciousness, the white-haired loli was sleeping soundly, as if Su Lingxi’s life and death had nothing to do with her.
Seeing this, Su Lingxi’s anger flared. She strode forward and pinched the white-haired loli’s cheeks hard.
“Ow, ow, ow!”
Seeing the white-haired loli wake up, Su Lingxi stood with her hands on her hips and questioned angrily, “You brought me to this place and then just abandoned me? If something had happened to me, you would have lost your host!”
“Tch, if I lose a host, I can just get another one. If you can’t even get past this first trial, then you’re not worthy of this system’s assistance.”
Hearing the white-haired loli’s words, Su Lingxi’s mouth twitched, unsure how to refute her.
“But you’re fine, so that’s good. In that case, this system will issue you a novice quest!”
“As long as you complete this novice quest, you can officially become this system’s host!”
Hearing there was a quest, Su Lingxi quickly asked, “What quest? Is it difficult?”
“It’s not difficult, but it is.”
The white-haired loli was being deliberately mysterious. With a wave of her fair, tender hand, a line of conspicuous, large characters appeared before Su Lingxi.
