Chapter 31: Senior Sister, I'm Here To Save You!:
In the room, Leng Yaoyue could hear explosions outside, leaving her feeling puzzled.
She wanted to release her divine sense to investigate, but her body was too weak, and all her abilities were limited, making it impossible to see anything.
A sense of unease settled in her heart.
She wasn't sure if someone had come to rescue her or if something else was happening.
Suddenly, a familiar figure burst into the room, and in a serious tone, said, "Senior Sister, I'm here to save you!"
"Junior Brother, it's you!" Leng Yaoyue was stunned. She had been thinking about many possibilities, but never imagined that Hua Qiandi would come to rescue her. After all, he had been...
"Senior Sister, of course it's me!" Hua Qiandi rushed over, picking up Leng Yaoyue, who was lying on the ground. Concerned, he asked, "Senior Sister, are you alright? It looks like you've been poisoned!"
Lying in her junior brother's arms, Leng Yaoyue suddenly felt a sense of security. But soon, she was ashamed of the thought.
"I am a witch, fearless of the heavens and the earth, and yet I feel secure in the arms of a man?" She thought.
But wait, she reminded herself, now was the time to complete the system mission!
So, Leng Yaoyue pretended to grow even weaker. "Junior Brother, I'm feeling a bit cold..." she said, silently counting in her mind, 10, 9, 8...
However, just as she was about to finish her countdown, Hua Qiandi spoke up in a worried tone, "It must be the poison. Senior Sister, hold on! I'll find a pill for you to take!"
Without hesitation, he gently put her down.
"You fool!" Leng Yaoyue fumed internally. It was just one more second! Couldn’t he hold on for a little longer? All her previous efforts had been wasted! When would she get such a perfect opportunity again?
"Junior Brother, could you hold me? I'm still cold..." She said, trying to sound pitiful.
"Hold on, Senior Sister! I found the antidote!" Hua Qiandi exclaimed, pulling out a small bottle. "I got it from the space ring of Xie Yue's leader. This should be the antidote!"
Leng Yaoyue took the antidote, and soon her condition returned to normal. But her heart was filled with frustration. She glared at Hua Qiandi, as if she wanted to strangle him.
Hua Qiandi, feeling confused, thought, "I saved her life, and now she’s looking at me like that? So much for gratitude!"
Afterward, Hua Qiandi used the antidote to save the others as well.
Not long after, the Heavenly Demonic Sect's master arrived. Seeing the collapsed mountain gate and the survivors, he asked for an explanation. Hua Qiandi recounted the whole story.
It turned out that he had already seen through the tricks of the Evil God Sect and devised a plan to lure them into the tiger's den. In the end, he managed to injure the Holy Maiden, wipe out the Evil Moon Sect, and rescue everyone.
"The poison you all suffered from is the Wandu Ruanjinsan, a creation of the Evil God Sect. It's colorless and tasteless, leaving one weak and powerless after consuming it. It’s clear that this was the work of the Evil God Sect!" the cold and ruthless head said after inspecting everyone.
Everyone was terrified, but they looked at Hua Qiandi with grateful eyes.
Without him, they would have been in serious trouble. Hua Qiandi, standing tall, thought to himself, "Yes, this is me, a different kind of hero!"
"Hua Qiandi, you've done well! To think that on your first mission, you uncovered a traitor within the Heavenly Demonic Sect and single-handedly turned the tide! You’ve made a great contribution. I will reward you generously!" The sect master praised him.
"The head is too kind. I am humbled." Hua Qiandi replied modestly.
"This is what you deserve, there’s no need for modesty!" The sect master said.
"Yes, Sect Master!" Hua Qiandi answered, accepting the praise with newfound confidence.
"Master, what should we do now?" Leng Yaoyue asked.
The sect master pondered for a moment before answering coldly, "Even though we’ve uncovered the Evil God Sect’s conspiracy, I fear they will strike again. It’s too dangerous out here. You should all return with me to the Heavenly Demonic Sect."
"Yes, Sect Master!" Everyone echoed in unison.
Under the sect master’s escort, the group returned safely to the Heavenly Demonic Sect. Meanwhile, word of what had happened began to spread throughout the temple.
The news that Hua Qiandi, the newly appointed Holy Son candidate, had uncovered the Evil God Sect’s conspiracy and single-handedly saved everyone while defeating the Evil Moon Sect's Holy Maiden shocked everyone.
It was the kind of achievement that left people speechless.
Xue Wuheng, the Pretending System’s owner, was envious. If only it had been him, he’d be the one basking in glory right now, and his strength would have skyrocketed!
Zhan Wei, the owner of the Combat System, also felt envious. If only it had been him out there, he’d be the one in the limelight, his power soaring as well!
As Hua Qiandi’s fame grew, so did the stories. Every time he visited a sect, he’d be forced to choose a concubine, leaving each sect in silent fury. In the end, he’d return with two beautiful maids, causing much frustration.
"Such disgrace... Such a lecher! He has tarnished the reputation of our Heavenly Demonic Sect!"...
