Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1557: Chapter 1557: Undercover in the Immortal Sect (26)

The Demon Spirit drifted back at midnight and lay down beside Chuzheng.

Chuzheng hadn’t slept yet; she turned to glance at the Demon Spirit: ”Where’s the... demon?”

The Demon Spirit stroked its own belly: ”Hehe, ate it. Look at my horns, haven’t they grown a bit?”

Chuzheng poured cold water without mercy: ”No.”

The Demon Spirit was understandably unhappy: ”Humph, I haven’t finished digesting yet, they’ll grow once I’m done.”

Chuzheng asked suspiciously: ”What can they do when they grow?”

”Once they grow, I’ll...” The Demon Spirit giggled twice: ”Be even more handsome!”

”Can’t tell.” With that appearance, pitch black, how handsome can it get?

The Demon Spirit flicked its tail: ”Humph, of course, you can’t tell.”

The Demon Spirit turned its head and asked: ”Where’s your master?”

”Don’t know.”

”Don’t know?” The Demon Spirit sat up: ”Isn’t he your master? How come you don’t know?”

Chuzheng had a cold face: ”He’s not my son, why should I know?”

The Demon Spirit: ”But don’t you like him? Why not push him over and do something embarrassing!!”

Chuzheng: ”...”

What’s with this Demon Spirit?

What’s it filled with in its brain?

Dong Lin didn’t return until the next morning; the Demon Spirit slipped away before he came back.

After a night of calm, Dong Lin still looked the same as usual; he offered breakfast to Chuzheng.

”Why do you have the Demon Spirit’s aura on you again?”

Chuzheng couldn’t sense it herself: ”Do I?”

Dong Lin furrowed his brows slightly: ”Do you have dealings with the Demon Spirit?”

Chuzheng responded confidently: ”I’m a demon, isn’t that normal?”

Dong Lin: ”...”

Putting it like that, he had no response.

Some Demon Spirits do get close to the Demon Clan, which is normal.

Just that aura...

Dong Lin felt something was off.

”Many Demon Spirits harbor malice, even towards the Demon Clan; don’t get too close to them.”

Dong Lin’s tone was mild, seemingly not intending to delve into her dealings with the Demon Spirit, just reminding her to be careful.

After all, Dong Lin was new to this and didn’t know how to guide a demon disciple.

Chuzheng quite agreed: ”I think so too.”

That bastard surely doesn’t just want to grow horns.

But she hasn’t felt any danger yet.

Chuzheng thought she should nip that Demon Spirit in the bud.

Next time we meet...

He pressed his lips, sternly reminding Chuzheng: ”Also, your identity, don’t reveal it casually.”

Demon Clan...

Right now, Dong Lin didn’t know what to do.

As the top figure in the Cultivation World, he actually had ties with the Demon Clan.

What really scared him was that he hadn’t felt much repulsion.

Chuzheng seriously said: ”Only to Master.”

I’m not someone who speaks casually.

How could I just reveal things to others?

[...] When you’re casual, you’re not human, right? Missy, I see through you!! Missy’s mouth, deceptive ghost!!

”...”

Dong Lin felt he shouldn’t have come back.

Every time she unexpectedly says something, it stirs up waves in his just-calmed heart.

Dong Lin looked away, asking Chuzheng to prepare; they would set off shortly.

”Not returning to the Sect?”

Dong Lin was silent, shaking his head: ”Not yet.”

The Sect Master and they are still dealing with the seal issue; Dong Lin doesn’t know how they’ll resolve it, but he’s not interested in these things right now.

He’s already done what he could.

Even if they don’t find a solution, the seal he reinforced once can last for years.

”How did you discover the Underground Palace had been tampered with before?” Dong Lin recalled this matter.

The teleportation array in the Underground Palace had been tampered with; they teleported inside and saw the altar, assuming it was the same as before.

But unexpectedly, this place had two levels.

This wasn’t recorded anywhere, not even Sect Leader Ouyang probably knew.

”...”

Chuzheng blinked, putting on a serious expression before Dong Lin could look at her.

”I was just walking around... and found it.”

”Walking around?” What kind of walking around finds something?

Chuzheng remained unfazed: ”I was lucky.”

Dong Lin didn’t believe it, but since Chuzheng wouldn’t say, he was helpless.

He asked: ”Did you find anyone suspicious down there?”

Chuzheng: ”No.”

”Really no?”

”Master, do I look like I’m lying?” Chuzheng’s face was serious and earnest, without any hint of guilt from lying.

Dong Lin raised his hand to pat her head: ”Master doesn’t mistrust you.”

”Don’t pat my head.” Girls’ heads can’t be touched casually!! Even the Good Person Card can’t! It’ll mess up my hairstyle!

”...”

Dong Lin felt awkward, just about to withdraw his hand when his palm suddenly felt warm.

Chuzheng took his hand: ”Master, let’s go.”

Dong Lin’s heart ’thumped’ rapidly a few times, a voice inside told him to let go, but he didn’t.

His gaze dropped, landing on their clasped hands, a flicker of awkwardness in his eyes.

-

Dong Lin led Chuzheng northwards.

About half a month later, news came that the sect responsible for guarding the Demon Spirit’s suppression site had been eradicated.

They didn’t find anyone there.

Since Yun Sect arrived first, somehow, someone smeared Yun Sect’s name over this matter.

Of course, these were just rumors; other sects didn’t dare say anything.

”Master, it’s getting dark.”

”Hmm?” Dong Lin glanced at the sky, steering the sword down: ”Let’s rest at the town ahead.”

There was a small town ahead, not very large.

The town wasn’t really big; the inn only had one room left.

Dong Lin instinctively glanced at Chuzheng, quickly retracting his gaze: ”No other vacant rooms?”

Shop assistant: ”Apologies, sir, none left.”

Chuzheng: ”I have...”

Without shouting King’s Account, Chuzheng already sensed something.

She swallowed the rest of her words, speaking before Dong Lin: ”One room it is.”

”Alright, I’ll take you both up.”

Dong Lin: ”...”

The shop assistant enthusiastically escorted them up.

”If you need anything, just call me; I won’t disturb you.” The shop assistant closed the door as he left.

The room wasn’t big; Dong Lin stood inside, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Dong Lin: ”I’ll go get you something to eat; you rest first.”

Dong Lin uttered this, opened the door, and left, his back indicating a hint of fleeing.

Chuzheng: ”...”

I really want to tell my card I’m not hungry.

But the bastard said to decline the Good Person Card would surely upset it, so Chuzheng held it in.

Nurture your own Good Person Card!

I can!

Hold it in!

Two questions:

First, this book doesn’t have a ’female lead.’ I never wrote those characters as ’female lead’ or ’male lead;’ they’re bad simply because they’re genuinely bad. Please don’t impose the settings from the previous two books, thank you.

Second, the original owner in this world is a demon, it’s written in the first Chapter, it’s not a bug.
