Chapter 438: Assassinating Lin Xun

The Ten Thousand Demon Sect was not a very good place.

Although for Lin Xun, no matter how bad the Ten Thousand Demon Sect was, it didn’t really matter.

Because from the day he entered the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, Lin Xun felt that he only needed to focus on his cultivation.

But if it were possible…

…then Lin Xun felt that if the Ten Thousand Demon Sect changed a bit, it might be much better.

It was just that this matter was far too troublesome.

Moreover, his strength wasn’t great enough; even if he wanted to change things, he simply couldn’t.

After all, the rules the Ten Thousand Demon Sect had followed for tens of thousands of years weren’t something that could be changed on a whim.

“Xiao Xun, come here, come and see your Junior Sister.”

In the year Lin Xun turned ten, Daoist Ming Lu returned with a young girl.

The girl looked to be only eight or nine years old.

Her small, oval face was slightly pointed, and her fair, tender cheeks were as smooth as a peeled egg.

Her eyelashes were long, like windshield wipers.

Her small, cherry-like mouth had a faint luster.

Her large, watery eyes peeked out from behind Daoist Ming Lu, quietly observing Lin Xun as if sizing him up.

However, Lin Xun felt that the way the girl looked at him held a hint of testing that shouldn’t belong to someone her age.

It seemed this little girl was somewhat precocious.

But her eyes were very beautiful.

They were cherry-blossom pink.

Like cherry-made pearls dropped into an icy spring.

It wasn’t just her eyes.

Her hair was also pink.

Her hair color would look very strange in ordinary mortal kingdoms.

But Lin Xun, who had been a shut-in otaku in his previous life, absolutely loved it!

A pink-hair fan and a white-hair fan—Lin Xun was both!

Even at only eight or nine, the young girl was already a burgeoning beauty.

If she grew up without any mishaps, she would definitely be devastatingly beautiful.

Even if she didn’t grow up perfectly, as long as she didn’t go completely off track…

…then this little girl’s looks would certainly not be bad.

Because her foundation was truly excellent.

The clothes she wore were the silks typically worn by young misses from wealthy mortal families.

It seemed her background in the mortal world was quite good, or at least extremely wealthy.

Lin Xun didn’t know where his Master had swindled this little girl from.

“Don’t keep staring at the little girl like that.”

Daoist Ming Lu laughed and tapped Lin Xun on the head.

“This little girl is named Su Ying. From now on, she’ll be your Junior Sister and the Saintess of our Ten Thousand Demon Sect. You must take good care of her in the future.”

Turning his head, Daoist Ming Lu also gently patted Su Ying’s little head.

“This boy, who spends all day doing nothing but practicing the spear, is your Senior Brother, Xiao Ying. He is also the Saint of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

He is the Saint, and you are the Saintess.

Maybe this Old Man will be able to drink at your wedding feast in the future, hahaha!”

“Hello, I am Lin Xun.”

Acting as if he hadn’t heard the Old Man’s last sentence, the ten-year-old Lin Xun uncharacteristically stopped his spear practice and stepped forward.

“I am… I am Su Ying.”

Su Ying stepped out from behind Daoist Ming Lu. Her beautiful eyes looked at Lin Xun shyly before she bashfully lowered her gaze.

Looking at the little Junior Sister before him, Lin Xun blinked and tilted his head slightly.

“Alright, this Old Man is leaving now. Xiao Xun, take Xiao Ying to familiarize herself with the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.”

After handing Su Ying over to Lin Xun, Daoist Ming Lu “irresponsibly” departed.

“I’ll take you for a walk.”

Lin Xun said indifferently, then led Su Ying to wander around some nearby peaks and halls.

Along the way, Su Ying behaved extremely weakly and obediently, easily evoking a protective instinct in others.

Lin Xun glanced at Su Ying, and their eyes met, but Su Ying quickly lowered her head again and looked away.

Finally, Lin Xun brought her back to Saintess Peak.

“This is the peak where you will live from now on, Junior Sister. Tomorrow, many maidservants will come to serve you. If you have any problems, you can come find me at any time.”

Lin Xun placed the saintess token into Su Ying’s hand.

Before the Ten Thousand Demon Sect had a Saintess, the saintess token had always been in Lin Xun’s possession; he even carried the holy lord token on him.

“Thank you, Senior Brother.”

Su Ying took the saintess token with both hands, held it to her chest, and thanked him sweetly.

“Mm.”

Lin Xun nodded.

The ten-year-old Lin Xun wanted to turn around and go back to practicing his spear.

But after taking just a few steps, Lin Xun turned around again and scratched the back of his head.

“Does Senior Brother have anything else?”

Su Ying looked at Lin Xun with a smile.

“I originally didn’t want to say anything.”

Lin Xun sighed softly.

“But now that you are my Junior Sister, if there’s anything you’re uncomfortable with, just say it. There’s no need to keep flattering me like this. It will be very tiring and bad for your future cultivation, making it easy for a Heart Demon to arise.”

Hearing Lin Xun’s words and seeing his clear eyes, the girl who was not yet nine was first stunned, then smiled slightly. “Ying doesn’t know what Senior Brother is talking about.”

“Well, if you don’t know, then forget it. That’s about it. I’m leaving.”

Lin Xun said no more and turned to leave Saintess Peak.

Watching Lin Xun’s departing back, the young girl’s cherry-blossom pink eyes narrowed slightly.

In the time that followed, Su Ying cultivated diligently on Saintess Peak.

The girl’s cultivation speed was very fast; she was a Genius among Geniuses.

But compared to Lin Xun, the girl’s cultivation speed was still completely insufficient.

But Su Ying knew that there was only one position for the Holy Lord.

If things continued like this, the position of Holy Lord would definitely belong to Lin Xun!

Su Ying had once read in the books of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect’s Library Pavilion.

Although the Saint and Saintess of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect were of the same sect, they were in a competitive relationship.

For the loser, the other party had three choices.

One was to have their cultivation crippled and leave the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

Another was to swear by their Divine Soul to hand everything over to the other party.

The last was to be executed on the spot.

Su Ying didn’t want to hand her fate over to another! She wanted to be the Master of her own destiny!

One day three months later, Daoist Ming Lu handed a unit of Death Warriors over to Su Ying.

Daoist Ming Lu said that this unit of Death Warriors would only listen to her, unless one day Su Ying was no longer the Saintess.

“Master, can I have them do anything I want?”

The girl looked at her Master with blinking eyes.

“Of course.”

Daoist Ming Lu doted on his Disciple and rubbed her head; compared to that brat Lin Xun, this apprentice of his was much cuter.

“This unit of Death Warriors belongs to Xiao Ying. Xiao Ying can have them do whatever she wants.”

“Is it the same for Senior Brother’s unit of Death Warriors?”

“Well…”

Ming Lu scratched his head.

“It was originally the same, but that kid said he didn’t need them, so I’m temporarily looking after that unit for him.

Sigh… that boy, I really don’t know whether to say he’s too confident or too conceited.”

Listening to her Master’s words, Su Ying looked at the unit of Death Warriors and fell into deep thought.

Three days later, Su Ying gave her first command to her Death Warriors.

And that was to assassinate Lin Xun!
