NOVEL WEB Ch. 2
Chapter 2 - Of Course I'm Taking You Home, Empress~
“That girl seems to have fainted.”
“What should we do, should we call an ambulance?”
“It should be fine, right? Isn’t her boyfriend right there beside her?”
More and more people gathered around, many holding up their phones, starting to record videos and live stream.
Lin Fan thought for a moment, then immediately picked up Longyue from the ground, revealing an embarrassed, sheepish smile.
“Everyone, my girlfriend just has a bit of low blood sugar, it’s nothing serious. Please make way.”
“G-Girlfriend…?!”
Longyue was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage, struggling with all her might in Lin Fan’s arms.
“Go die, Demon Sovereign!”
“I am the Empress of the Supreme Sacred Heavenly Palace of the Immortal Realm! This Empress is in a fight to the death with your Demon Clan, how could I possibly be your woman! Let go of me!”
“Be good, don't make a scene now, so many people are watching.”
A doting smile appeared on Lin Fan’s face as he hurriedly held down the struggling Longyue, but she remained relentless.
He didn’t expect this Empress, even after losing all her spiritual energy and entering a state of exhaustion, to still have so much strength. She was simply harder to catch than a pig for the New Year…
Seeing no hope of escaping on her own, Longyue quickly turned her head to look at the surrounding crowd.
“Everyone! Quickly, lend this Empress a hand!”
“I am the Empress of the Supreme Sacred Heavenly Palace! As long as you help me subdue this all-evil Demon Sovereign, my Supreme Sacred Heavenly Palace will surely repay you with great kindness afterward! I will ennoble you all as Saints! And help you all achieve a long life!”
The crowd: “…”
The crowd looked at each other, their faces filled with embarrassment and confusion.
What on earth is this girl saying…
“Elders and folks, I’m so sorry. My girlfriend… she’s actually not quite right up here, so she often says some strange things. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Lin Fan pointed to his own temple, his face revealing a deep sorrow and heartache.
The crowd had a sudden realization, and one by one, their faces showed sympathy and sadness.
“So that’s how it is, no wonder…”
“I guessed as much, I didn’t expect there was really a problem here.”
“Sigh, such a fine girl, in the prime of her life, what a pity she’s a fool…”
“It must be very hard for you, taking care of her all this time!”
“Brothers in the live stream, look! How deeply moving! Even though his girlfriend has a severe mental illness, as her boyfriend, he still stays by her side and never leaves!”
“This is a true role model for our generation! So touching!”
“Brother, I don’t have much money on me, here’s two hundred yuan, you guys take it!”
Longyue: “…”
Watching the crowd continuously cast sympathetic gazes at her, while conversely being incredibly enthusiastic toward the Demon Sovereign, Longyue’s eyes gradually dimmed, her face ashen.
Why…
Why were they all willing to believe the Demon Sovereign's words and not hers? She was clearly the one on the Righteous Path!
“Thank you everyone, thank you.”
Lin Fan ‘tearfully’ accepted the crowd’s red envelopes and gifts, then walked out from the crowd while carrying Longyue.
The crowd stood and watched him leave, wiping the tears from the corners of their eyes.
They had done another good deed today…
“Demon Sovereign! I will kill you! Kill you!”
“How dare you, how dare you humiliate this Empress so!”
Humiliated and enraged, Longyue struggled desperately in Lin Fan’s arms, her delicate fists continuously hammering his chest. However, she was weak and feeble, and her soft fists landing on his chest were more like a spoiled tantrum.
She, the majestic Empress of the Supreme Sacred Heavenly Palace, the Supreme Sovereign of the Immortal Realm, was not only treated as the Demon Sovereign’s girlfriend but was also slandered as having something wrong with her brain. This was simply a profound humiliation!
Unforgivable!
“Would you please be quiet, Empress. If you keep making a fuss, you’ll attract unnecessary trouble.”
Lin Fan shot an annoyed glance at Longyue in his arms.
His strange attire was already attracting enough attention on the street, and now because of her wild shouting, passersby were casting strange looks wherever they went.
If this continued, it would be hard not to arouse suspicion…
Sure enough, very soon, a police car stopped in front of Lin Fan. Two police officers in uniform got out of the car.
“Hello, comrade. We received a report from a passerby about a suspected case of someone forcefully abducting a young girl on the street. Could you please explain?”
“Officer, it’s a misunderstanding. It’s just that my girlfriend and I had a fight, she’s just throwing a tantrum.”
Lin Fan explained calmly, neither flustered nor hurried.
Longyue’s expression turned anxious. She struggled while shouting:
“This Empress is not this fellow’s woman!”
“He is the Demon Sovereign, the all-evil Supreme Sovereign of the Demon Realm! Don’t be fooled by his lies and clever words!”
The police officer glanced at Longyue, then his gaze swept over Lin Fan suspiciously.
“Stop making a scene, Yue’er. Saying things like that will make the officers misunderstand.”
Lin Fan gave Longyue an ‘amiable’ look, then continued to explain to the police with a pained heart:
“Officer, I’m so sorry. My girlfriend is in the middle of a fit of anger, and her mental state isn’t very good. She also has bipolar disorder and always likes to say some radical nonsense.”
“Is that so, ma’am? Are you in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with him?”
The officer did not believe him easily, but instead looked at Longyue to ask.
Longyue was just about to open her mouth to refute, but she found that she couldn't speak no matter what. Turning her head, she saw a mocking, treacherous smirk at the corner of Lin Fan’s lips.
This guy really does have some spiritual energy left in his body!
He must have secretly used ‘Demonic Sound’ to seal her mouth and prevent her from speaking!
“Ma’am?”
Seeing Longyue remain silent for a long time, the police officer asked again.
Seeing this, Lin Fan secretly circulated his demonic power to control Longyue and make her nod.
“Mmm…”
In the past, with Longyue’s level of cultivation, it would have been impossible to control her with Demonic Sound. But now that she had lost all her cultivation, it was no problem for his remaining spiritual energy to control her to perform some simple actions.
Seeing the person in question nod her head in acknowledgement, the police officer relaxed his stern expression and laughed cheerfully.
“So that’s how it is. It seems we’ve misunderstood.”
“It’s inevitable for couples to argue, but please don’t quarrel on the street. If you have issues, go home and discuss them properly.”
As he spoke, one of the officers sympathetically patted Lin Fan’s shoulder, his eyes brimming with tears as he said earnestly:
“This uncle here, I also dated a girlfriend with bipolar disorder before, I understand you completely!”
“Having a girlfriend with bipolar disorder must be very hard. You must remember to seek timely medical treatment so she can recover soon. It’ll be too late if you wait…”
“Er… yes, okay, thank you, officer,” Lin Fan nodded lightly in response.
The two police officers didn’t say any more, waving their hands before turning to leave.
“Thank goodness, it wasn’t some street abduction of a young girl, just a young couple having a fight.”
“Seeing them can’t help but remind me of when I was young. This is youth~ hahaha!”
Longyue: “…”
Watching helplessly as the police left, Longyue despaired.
She had now fallen into the Demon Sovereign’s hands. She didn’t know where she would be taken, nor what awaited her next.
Rumor has it that the Demon Clan rapes and pillages, committing every imaginable evil.
Having lost her cultivation, she was like a sheep entering a tiger’s den...
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two of them gradually left the bustling city center and arrived at a sparsely populated residential area.
In the dead of night, only a few scattered rooms in the residential area were lit. The streets were silent and empty, with only the faint illumination from the streetlights.
Longyue’s small, anxious and uneasy heart leaped into her throat.
“Demon Sovereign, wh-where are you taking this me?”
Lin Fan smiled faintly and said teasingly:
“Of course I'm taking you home, Empress~”
