Chapter 205: Yan Xiaoru Breaks the Rules
Li Muyang had no sense of belonging toward the Refinement Demon Sect.
In his view, serving the Refinement Demon Sect or the Blood Lotus Cult made no difference.
He just didn't want to survive alone; at the very least, he wanted to leave alive with Yan Xiaoru.
But upon hearing his words, Yan Xiaoru slowly shook her head.
"Even if the Blood Lotus Cult allows you to take me with you when you surrender, I won't go," she said.
"Leaving the Refinement Demon Sect, losing my status as Law Enforcement Elder, to me, would be no different from being dead," she said.
"I can't lose my status as an elder."
Yan Xiaoru's calm yet serious words took Li Muyang aback slightly.
He didn't think Yan Xiaoru was someone who craved power.
Thus, there must be other reasons why she valued her status as an elder of the Demon Sect so highly.
Li Muyang's gaze confused, he hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking.
"Can you tell me the reason?"
Yan Xiaoru was slightly overly cautious regarding his attitude.
Honestly, with Yan Xiaoru's status as an elder, keeping a pretty young man as a sugar boy wouldn't be a problem at all, only perhaps slightly damaging to her reputation.
Of course, Li Muyang did not want to be known as Elder Yan's sugar boy either.
Keeping this a secret was an agreement between the two.
But Li Muyang was still curious why Yan Xiaoru wanted to keep it secret, why she placed such great importance on her status as an elder of the Demon Sect…
Seeing Li Muyang's confused expression, Yan Xiaoru opened her mouth as if she wanted to explain.
But in the end, she shook her head.
"It's just some private matters of mine, no need to tell you," she said.
"Knowing them would only add to your troubles, and we might be separated by life and death tomorrow. I don't want you troubled by my private affairs for the rest of your life," she said.
Yan Xiaoru spoke coldly.
However, her words clearly meant she believed Li Muyang would survive.
She didn't want to burden Li Muyang, and in her eyes, she felt that the matter wasn't something Li Muyang could resolve; discussing it could very well trouble him for life…
Li Muyang forced a smile helplessly and wrapped his arms around the woman's slender waist.
"You're so sure that I would go to great lengths for your sake after you're gone? That it would even trouble me for life… I didn't realize I appeared so lovesick in your eyes," he said.
Yan Xiaoru stood expressionless, letting Li Muyang hold her tightly.
Their chests pressed tightly against each other, and the man's hands began to wander restlessly over her waist.
But Yan Xiaoru just coldly looked at Li Muyang, saying, "If I didn't approve of you, I wouldn't let you carry on like this."
She stood there not responding to Li Muyang's affectionate gestures, but she didn't resist either.
Yet these words were clearly a declaration of affection.
Though her tone was very cold.
Li Muyang took advantage further, his right hand beginning to slowly move downward around the waist.
Noticing the man's hand sliding down, Yan Xiaoru's body stiffened abruptly, and she glanced sharply at Li Muyang.
But the next second, before Li Muyang could react, she silently shifted her gaze away.
It was almost an acquiescence.
Feeling the woman's stiff unease in his arms, Li Muyang smacked his lips, surprised that Yan Xiaoru was giving in so much amidst their life-and-death crisis.
Li Muyang affectionately rested his chin on the woman's shoulder and spoke softly.
"It's not the end of the world yet, so why be so down? Cheer up, the sky isn't falling…"
Yan Xiaoru, expressionless, let him fool around, "Then take your hand off, stop messing around," she said.
Li Muyang chuckled, "That's not possible, one thing doesn't relate to the other," he said.
This Elder of the Demon Sect, Yan Xiaoru, although a high and cold woman, had such an irresistible figure.
Voluptuous and spicy, she felt amazing to touch.
Li Muyang took advantage of Yan Xiaoru, feeling a delightful sensation he had never experienced in his past or present life, and thought life was so wonderful.
At this moment, even the incessant cursing of the Blood Lotus Sect devotees at the foot of the mountain didn't seem so annoying anymore.
But just as the air inside the tent grew increasingly sultry, something strange suddenly happened on the ground beneath the two.
Wrapped in each other's arms, Yan Xiaoru and Li Muyang instantly noticed something odd about the soil a few meters away.
However, by the time they looked over, that patch of soil was already writhing and spitting out a disheveled figure.
"Elder Yan, I finally, uh..."
An Inner Sect Disciple clad in a white robe, covered in mud, crawled out from the ground.
However, the scene he looked up to see left him dumbfounded.
The aloof and revered Elder Yan was nestling like a delicate bird in a man's embrace.
This man was ragged, his upper body bare, yet the remnants of his attire still marked him as an Inner Sect Disciple in a white robe.
But despite such a disparity in their statuses, the two were wrapped in each other's arms...
The Inner Sect Disciple who climbed from the ground was dumbstruck by this scene.
He frantically bowed his head, desperately kowtowing in extreme panic.
"This disciple deserves to die! This disciple deserves to die! I should not have barged in without announcing!"
But Yan Xiaoru did not seem to blame him at all, her tone still calm and indifferent.
"Did the Sect Master send you here?"
Yan Xiaoru's indifferent tone seemed completely unconcerned that her secret had been discovered.
Realizing that Elder Yan was not angry, the disciple who emerged from the soil secretly sighed with relief.
He then respectfully said,
"Reporting to Elder Yan, the Sect Master learned of your plight here and sent me with this treasure to help Elder Yan escape!"
Experience new tales on empire
Saying this, the disciple in white robe took out a light blue, transparent jade shuttle.
The jade shuttle was utterly clear, with light blue nebulas silently drifting within it, breathtakingly beautiful, clearly a priceless treasure.
Seeing the jade shuttle, Yan Xiaoru's eyes slightly flickered.
"The Flying Moon Shuttle crafted by Elder Ge... Indeed, with this treasure, I can leave this place."
Yan Xiaoru stepped forward and took the jade shuttle, which the disciple in the white robe respectfully presented, and asked, "And what about you? Did the Sect Master give you any orders?"
The disciple in the white robe respectfully said, "The Earth Escape Charm sent with me can only be used once, so the Sect Master commanded me to stay here and advance or retreat with the fellows here. By no later than noon tomorrow, the Sect's reinforcement will arrive here to rescue all Demon Sect disciples on the hill!"
The disciple in white robe respectfully answered.
However, the moment he finished speaking, Yan Xiaoru drew a long blade from her Qiankun Ring and effortlessly decapitated him.
Amid the splatter of fresh blood, Yan Xiaoru said without any expression.
"What reinforcements? Gong Yanghong sending a single Inner Sect Disciple for the mission was already the limit."
"In this forbidden zone that seals all cultivation, to allow you to travel thousands of miles using the Earth Escape Charm, the Sect must have paid a huge price to refine it; they have no resources left to care about your fate."
"The combined worth of all Sect disciples on Pingyang Hill probably isn't as high as this Earth Escape Charm."
"The Flying Moon Shuttle can only take one person. All Demon Sect disciples on Pingyang Hill have been abandoned by the Sect."
"Such an obvious suicide mission, and you couldn't see it, no wonder Gong Yanghong chose you..."
At this point, Yan Xiaoru turned to look at Li Muyang.
Her gaze softened.
But her tone became firm,
"This time, you can go down the mountain and surrender."
"The Sect Master chose the simplest and most trouble-free rescue method, to save only me."
"The Flying Moon Shuttle can only take one person, but you can surrender to the Blood Lotus Sect and become their leader."
"When I return, I will hide your family. Once the storm passes, I will send for them to reunite with you, ensuring that they won't be harmed by the Sect."
Yan Xiaoru said this, then gently exhaled a breath and fell silent.
After a long moment, she coldly said under Li Muyang's silent gaze, "The fling between you and me ends here..."
