Chunmei's low-key and composed demeanor, without the slightest arrogance, still caused quite a stir.
The disciples outside the main hall were whispering and speculating about her intentions.
Mu Yu remained expressionless, his joy at witnessing Hua Nuansu's re-entry into the Dao that morning hidden between his cool and aloof expression.
"Mu Yu, take Princess Chunmei to the Cliff of Repentance."
Sect Leader Hansong leisurely ate the snacks brought by Chunmei. Mu Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, bowed to Sect Leader Hansong, and then led Chunmei to the Cliff of Contemplation.
Zhu Yi felt a little proud looking at the familiar snacks, while Hua Nuansu's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Chunmei, as if she wanted to tear Chunmei to pieces.
Wei Weiwei pulled Hua Nuansu back: "Little Hua, don't be impulsive. Princess Chunmei can't be harmed in our sect."
"Besides, you've only just entered the path, and you can't beat her yet..."
Wei Weiwei is always able to sense subtle changes in other people's emotions, and her gentle words can always soothe their tense feelings.
"Mmm!" Hua Nuansu said indignantly.
Her parents' deaths were somewhat related to the demon race. After she re-entered the Dao, her mind became clearer, but she still had many memories and strength that she had not recovered.
She can't even beat a junior disciple in the Qi Refining stage now, let alone the revered princess of the Demon Clan in front of her.
Mu Yu lowered his eyes and strode ahead, with Chun Mei quietly following behind.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Zhu Yi felt somewhat uneasy.
The cultivation world has been declining in strength for the past hundred years, with less spiritual energy and an endless stream of demonic energy. Every year, sects in the cultivation world send out many disciples to travel and exorcise demons.
It's said to be about upholding justice, but is there any reason behind it to curb the expansion of the demon race and eliminate demonic energy to maintain public order?
In other words, once a person's thinking starts to diverge, it connects many things.
Master Yujing used to stay hidden in the sect's library, but ever since she became an apprentice, her beloved master has been appearing and disappearing mysteriously. Zhu Yishi didn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on.
A storm is brewing.
Princess Chunmei of the Demon Clan is also a very powerful demon cultivator, so why does she seem somewhat颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, decadence, or dejection) now?
The celestial mountain was bright and beautiful, a stark contrast to the gloomy, gathering demonic clouds of the demon race.
The long-awaited golden sunlight shone down on Chunmei.
They traveled in silence, winding their way to the Cliff of Contemplation.
Li Mei, who was always arrogant and aloof, was having a very difficult time at this moment.
With black iron chains fastened to its slender ankles, leaving bright red marks from its movements, the proud black peacock, fallen from the clouds, was no different from the gray-feathered pheasants raised in the fenced gardens of the villagers at the foot of the mountain.
The worst part is that a memory stone was placed not far from Li Mei, playing a loop of scriptures and classics on self-cultivation.
Chunmei paused, almost laughing. How could the demon race like such pretentious and annoying rambling?
"Is this how the Tianlan Sect treats those who have repented?" The girl in plain clothes looked at Li Mei's ankle, her tone slightly reproachful, but lacking the concern one would expect from a sibling.
The demon race's reputation still needs to be maintained. Even if she and Li Mei are not familiar or close, she cannot allow these cultivators to be too arrogant.
"Li Mei has offended our Tianlan Sect disciples many times. She has been placed here to listen to classical texts and temper her temperament. We have no intention of offending her."
"The black iron chains on her feet are extremely imposing; is this your sect's way of treating guests?"
“Your Highness, please understand that Li Mei has violated the rules of the cultivation world, and this is the punishment she deserves. It is only because she is a guest that her punishment has been reduced considerably.”
Mu Yu spoke calmly and casually, as if he were used to it.
Chunmei remained silent. "Do cultivators also care so much about these worldly rules?"
“What the princess says is true. We are a group of cultivators, not real immortals. We do live by certain rules.”
Mu Yu was essentially saying that the demon race had no manners and needed to change.
Hearing someone coming, Li Mei poked her head out and looked over with a pitiful expression, her fox eyes sparkling. Seeing Chun Mei, her savior, she became even more excited.
"Sister! You're finally here! Come quickly and teach them a lesson! These ignorant, pedantic bookworms actually made me listen to this utterly baffling nonsense. They really don't know the meaning of death. When I get out of here, I'll definitely make those bookworms pay!"
"It seems that Princess Li Mei still hasn't reflected on her mistakes and needs to cultivate her character further."
When he spoke, he exuded an imposing aura without anger. The senior disciple of the sect was fully aurated, as aloof as ice and snow in the mountains, and his tone suddenly carried a chill.
Li Mei was immediately discouraged. Like a mouse seeing a cat, she was the one who threw her here. Knowing that she was a demonic cultivator and didn't like sunlight, he specially chose a place under the scorching sun to lock her up. She suffered terribly. Her fair face turned black, and she could even peel off a layer of sunburnt dead skin from her shoulders!
"After returning, Li Mei will be sent back to the Demon Clan to reflect on her mistakes and will no longer appear in the cultivation world to cause trouble. Please allow me to take her back."
Chunmei didn't say anything more, nor did she have any interest in comforting her foolish younger sister.
"I said! I'm going to teach these bookworms a lesson! I don't want to be sent back to the Demon Realm! I'm going to the mortal realm to find Su Linyuan!"
"That's my future husband. I want to travel the world with him and live a carefree and unrestrained life!"
Li Mei had no idea why she was being punished. She never felt she was wrong and only knew how to follow her heart. When she saw that Su Linyuan's face was handsome, she tried every means to get him.
"Shut up!" Chunmei thought that her father didn't seem stupid, so how come among all her brothers and sisters, only Limei was so incredibly foolish? If it weren't for the fact that Limei did indeed inherit the pure blood of the Demon King, she really wouldn't want to be sisters with this stupid woman who only knew how to seduce men.
"If you can't calm down, then keep sunbathing here!" Chunmei's tone turned cold as she looked directly at the disheveled Limei, not wanting to waste any more time with her.
Mu Yu lowered his eyes and handed Chunmei a key. "I hope the princess will keep her word and keep Li Mei in check when she gets back, so that she won't cause any more trouble in the future."
"Hey! What nonsense are you talking about! What do you mean I'm always causing trouble?" Li Mei retorted, being locked up in this godforsaken place and listening to boring articles every day was truly torturous!
I wonder how Su Linyuan is doing now. I heard he went to travel in the mortal realm again. I wonder how she will find him after she gets out...
It's been so long since I've seen her, and she's become so ugly. What kind of methods should I use to seduce her next time we meet?
"Shut up, don't make me say it a third time." Chunmei's eyes were icy cold, which made Li Mei tremble and dare not say another word.
Although demons are inherently fierce and warlike, they also have some unwritten rules. For example, there is a strict bloodline suppression among siblings. Simply put, it is permissible for the strong to bully the weak, but it is forbidden for the weak to disobey their superiors.
By nature, the bigger always manages to dominate the smaller, and the smaller always manages to find something even smaller to suppress...
