Chapter 29 The Four Tyrants of the Clouds: Do you believe she's number one or that I'm the emperor...?
"Ah!?" Bai Yuheng's eyes widened in shock. "Master...Master's wife?"
Seeing that she was getting along with the situation, Nan Yuezhu patted her head kindly and smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Hey, you're so good. Your name is Bai Yuheng, right?"
“Yes, yes…”
"This is a gift for you." Nan Yuezhu took out a lustrous white bead from her bosom and, seeing that she wouldn't accept it, insisted on stuffing it into her bosom.
"Alright, Master's wife, I have other matters to attend to. We must meet formally next time."
Before Bai Yuheng could even react, he had vanished without a trace.
"..."
Bai Yuheng found it somewhat amusing. She examined the white jade beads in her hand, chuckled softly, and thought to herself, "It seems that Pei Yuan hasn't been entirely alone in the hundred years since she left. At least he still has his senior uncle and friends, and even a girl who likes him."
After carefully putting the white jade away, Bai Yuheng thought that she should return the favor when she saw her next time.
I don't know what Pei Yuan is thinking. If he also likes her, then the return gift can be considered as her blessing to them as their master.
Bai Yuheng made up her mind and returned to Wangxian Mountain.
The next day.
The competition officially began.
The spacious training ground had several arenas set up for medical skills, magic, formations, artifacts, and swordsmanship. Each field had a master in that field, sitting high up and able to see all the actions below at a glance.
The entire training ground was packed with people who had signed up for the competition and those who came to watch the spectacle.
The purpose of this competition is to select the best performer from each category. The best performers will form a team to carry out a secret mission; while the other ranked participants will form teams in turn.
The first thing to be tested was medical skills, which were divided into several parts for assessment, namely alchemy, detoxification, and dealing with unexpected problems that practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine had to deal with in actual combat.
As the daughter of the Five Poisons Sect leader, Cen Ying was immersed in medicine and poison from the womb. Alchemy, medicine making, poison making and antidote making were all easy for her.
She appeared calm and composed, while Cui Mingcan next to her was not so composed.
His true master was still in seclusion, and while he had already mastered the basics, and had also learned a great deal through self-study at a deeper level, some things couldn't be grasped solely through self-study. Even with his considerable talent.
"What are you muttering?" Cen Ying turned to look at Cui Mingcan, who was standing uneasily, and asked in confusion.
"Don't bother me, I'm praying to the gods." Cui Mingcan held a small peach wood sword in his hand, bowing in all directions, chanting "May the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Mother bless me," "May the God of Literature and the God of War bless me," "May the Emperor of Qingwei bless me to win first place"... and so on.
Cen Ying laughed at him: "Cramming at the last minute? Is that even feasible?" Cui Mingcan glanced at her briefly: "It has to work whether it works or not."
"..." This was the first time Cen Ying had looked at him with such sympathy. "May you have good fortune."
Bai Yuheng glanced at the competition that was about to begin, patted Cui Mingcan on the shoulder, sighed, and added, "Good luck to you."
"..." Cui Mingcan snorted and turned to leave.
"Hey, where are you going?" Cen Ying called out as she turned to look at his departing figure when she saw that he hadn't followed.
"I'm going to go for the big one!"
"..."
Cen Ying muttered something under her breath.
"Which of you is Bai Yuheng?"
The three were on their way to the place where Cen Ying was going to have the competition when several people blocked their path.
"I am, and who are you?"
A tall, muscular man with a rugged appearance looked down at her, his sharp, eagle-like eyes scanning her up and down: "Are you Bai Yuheng?"
"Yes, it is," Bai Yuheng answered again.
A hint of doubt flashed in the man's eyes, and a disdainful smile appeared on his lips. He said to his companion, "Are you kidding me? She's the exceptionally talented magic cultivation prodigy that the Heavenly Evolution Sect recruited this year?"
The man next to him was also puzzled: "Her name is Bai Yuheng, I'm not mistaken."
"Wasn't it said that person was nine feet tall, had a face like Zhong Kui (a legendary Chinese mythological figure), possessed immense power, and could kill a giant beast with his bare hands? So it must be her?"
Several tall, burly men gathered together, looking at the innocent-looking girl in front of them, who seemed so delicate that she could be blown away by a gentle breeze.
"..." Bai Yuheng had no idea that her reputation had spread like this. What, nine feet tall? What, a face like Zhong Kui? It's true that she was incredibly strong and could kill giant beasts with a fan, but she didn't do it with her bare hands.
Pointing at and questioning her, Bai Yuheng smiled faintly: "If you are looking for Bai Yuheng, then it is me. If you are looking for someone who is nine feet tall and has a face like Zhong Kui, then you have come to the wrong person."
"Are you sure?" the leading man asked, still unsure.
Cen Ying frowned and asked, "Who are you? Why do you keep asking her?"
"Hmph, don't you know who we are?" The tall, thin man in blue robes next to the leader said proudly, his eyes raised high, looking down at them with disdain.
“…” Cen Ying rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, “Are you all some big shots? Do we all need to know you?”
"Hey, you little wench, you've got a sharp tongue." The man in black robes beside him sneered. "We are the direct disciples of the Cloud Sect's leader! The Four Tyrants of Cloud Sect, renowned throughout the five continents and four seas!"
While chanting slogans, the man posed with three others to show off their imposing and powerful appearance.
"I am Qi Cang, the tyrant!" said the tallest and strongest man in red brocade robes.
"I am the second brother, Ba Yuncheng!" said the tall, thin man in blue.
"I am Gao Shijie, the third brother and the third tyrant!" said the slightly overweight man in black.
"I am Ouyang Shuda, the fourth of the Four Tyrants!" said the man in the indigo brocade robe with a dark complexion.
The four men spoke with booming voices and exuded an imposing aura, drawing the attention of passersby. Bai Yuheng and her two companions tacitly took several steps back, not wanting to be dragged into the embarrassing situation.
Bai Yuheng, Cen Ying, and Li Tiankuo: "..."
"What? Are you scared?" Yun Chengzhi, the man in blue, chuckled. "The four of us fought against an ancient ferocious beast for five days and five nights, and returned victorious! The entire cultivation world worships us!"
"..." Bai Yuheng couldn't help but chuckle, mainly because the four of them looked too funny.
"May I ask what brings you four esteemed heroes to us?"
"We're looking for Bai Yuheng. Since you are, then our boss is declaring war on you!" Gao Shijie, the man in black, pointed at Qi Cang, the man in red brocade who had spoken first.
"Oh?" Bai Yuheng asked with some curiosity, "What kind of battle?"
"Naturally, it's the magic duel later." Qi Cang raised his chin and glanced at her. "I just don't know if your petite frame can make it to the finals?"
Gao Shijie: "Hehe, our boss is one of the top magic masters in the cultivation world. Even your Immortal Master Pei from Wangxian Mountain is better than him. If you're scared, you should quit as soon as possible. Otherwise, you'll lose face when our boss beats you up and lose your title of genius!"
The indigo-clad man, who hadn't been able to get a word in edgewise, interrupted, "That's right, that's right! My second brother is right. If you don't believe me, just ask around. Who doesn't know the reputation of the Four Tyrants of Yunzhong? Who doesn't know the name of our leader, Qi Cang?!"
Cen Ying chuckled, and the four of them instantly became a little anxious, unable to help but question her. Bai Yuheng, not wanting to lose face with them any longer, interrupted them, saying, "Alright, let's wait and see."
Let's see who the real boss is!
As Bai Yuheng spoke, she seemed to get fired up and made a deal with them: "If I defeat your boss and take first place, what should you call me?"
"Hahaha, what a huge joke!"
"Are you still dreaming? It's already daylight, and you still dreaming? You think you can get first place, Brother? With your small frame, you can't even bend one of our boss's fingers! You're dreaming of getting first place, hahaha, that's hilarious!"
"Hahahahaha..."
Bai Yuheng smiled slightly, calmly facing their ridicule.
"Then you'd better wait and see."
"..."
Seeing her calm and composed demeanor, and recalling the rumors he had heard, Ouyang Shuda whispered to his third brother, Gao Shijie, "Could this little girl really have some skills? Look at her smug expression."
"Tch, do you believe she's number one or that I'm the emperor?" Gao Shijie slapped him on the forehead, secretly cursing him for boosting the morale of others and diminishing his own.
Ouyang Shuda glanced cautiously at Li Tiankuo, who was trying his best to be a background figure, and muttered, "You can't be an emperor either..."
The emperor's son is here.
"Hey, you little rascal, you need a good beating!"
Ouyang Shuda quickly begged for mercy.
Qi Cang was shocked by her arrogant tone, then burst into laughter, clapping his hands and exclaiming, "Good, good! I'd like to see what you're capable of!"
"If you can defeat me, I'll give you my dominant position! How about it?"
"Boss, this is absolutely not allowed!" Gao Shijie cried out in alarm.
Yun Chengzhi glanced at him and said disdainfully, "You really believe she can beat the boss and take first place?"
“…” Gao Shijie stammered, “Of course I don’t believe it, but—”
"Then let's not have a but!" Qi Cang interrupted him, his sharp gaze sweeping over the innocent face, and he smiled confidently, "It's settled then. If you lose, you'll have to admit to everyone that you're not a genius in magic, but just someone with a reputation that's all talk and no action!"
“Okay!” Bai Yuheng met his eyes without fear and answered loudly.
"It's a deal!"
It's a deal.
The two made a vow by high-fiving.
The onlookers were immediately stunned.
"Let's go, let's go make some preparations!" Qi Cang led a group of people in a hurry and then left in a hurry.
Cen Ying was a little worried about her: "Yu'er, what's wrong with you..."
"Don't worry, I agreed because I'm confident," Bai Yuheng reassured her, then tiptoed to look at her competition spot and said, "Hurry up and register, the competition is about to start."
"Hey, hey, you have to be careful. I'm worried they might try something on you," Cen Ying reminded her before leaving.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll be careful. Go now! Good luck! I'll be waiting for your good news!"
"Hmm~"
After watching Cen Ying leave, Li Tiankuo and Bai Yuheng went to their respective competition venues to register their names and prepare for the competition.
Meanwhile, Cui Mingcan, who was cramming for the last minute, came to a quiet bamboo grove and, as if performing a ritual, prayed everywhere.
"Master, please bless me, Master, please bless me..."
"May this disciple win first place! No, no, no, it's okay if he doesn't win first place, it would be best if he teamed up with Bai Yuheng and the others!"
"Please bless me, please bless me..."
"May the God of Literature and the God of War, and may the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Mother protect us..."
"Ouch!"
Cui Mingcan touched his head, which had been hit by something, and looked around warily.
"Who! Who dares to mess with me?"
"Thump!"
"Ouch!"
Cui Mingcan covered the other side of his head and shouted, "Which little thief dares to play tricks? Come out now! Otherwise, I'll have someone arrest you!"
"I heard you were looking for me?"

Demon Lord Ying Wuyu is a being feared by all three realms. He is a bloodthirsty, cruel, and ruthless Asura who kills without blinking an eye.
He suffered a qi deviation during cultivation and nearly exploded and died.
But she was saved by a system called the Love System.
Xiao Ai: [Please claim your Love Manual, host. Let's find sweet romance together!]
Ying Wuyu: "Get lost."

He spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Gentle Xiao Ai smiles sweetly: [Rule number one in the dating manual: Be a gentleman and don't swear at girls!]

[Please see which romantic partner you need guidance on~]

Once he gets rid of this system, he'll slap this world to death.
The Demon Lord at the beginning: I want to kill you.
The future Demon Lord: (wagging his big tail) (looking at me expectantly) Don't you love me anymore? ...You didn't even smile at me today... (looking pitiful)

Or is he a terrifying demon?
