Chapter 1152: Chapter 29: Where Is Justice? Justice Is Here!
"Can you hurry up? It’s really urgent," Cao Xilan urged anxiously. That little bitch Li Suyi had already caught up!
"Who is so eager to see me?" a magnetically pleasant male voice lazily replied.
The speaker was none other than the City Lord of this town, also a Demon Cultivator, named Duanmu Xin. He had a pair of alluring eyes that always seemed to smile. His long eyebrows arched lightly, and beneath his high-bridged nose was a thin lip with a half-smile. His unrestrained demeanor, coupled with his handsome looks, no wonder many women admired him.
Cao Xilan looked at the speaker with joy and quickly said, "I have long admired the City Lord and hope to become a confidante by your side."
"Oh my, such an enthusiastic and bold beauty," Duanmu Xin waved a folding fan in his hand, fanning himself with a particularly ostentatious flair.
"City Lord, I am willing..." Cao Xilan hurriedly spoke, but before she could finish, Duanmu Xin interrupted her.
"Stop, stop!" Duanmu Xin interrupted with a smile, "Young lady, do you know who I am? I assume since you came looking for me, you must know. Hmm... so shouldn’t you introduce yourself first? For example, your surname, where you’re from?"
Cao Xilan was taken aback for a moment before quickly saying, "I’m just a mere Loose Cultivator, insignificant. My name is past; I admire the City Lord, hoping for a name from you after becoming your confidante."
Li Suyi had arrived at the City Lord Mansion entrance, standing there coldly watching Cao Xilan. Cao Xilan indeed had some quick wit, speaking differently to different people, adapting to situations. She hadn’t been like this before. It seemed what she’d experienced recently had truly changed her a lot.
"Oh? Really?" Duanmu Xin maintained his lazy tone, smiling, "Then what does this young lady like about me?"
Cao Xilan was cursing inwardly. What was going on? This didn’t seem like the rumors. In her imagination, this Demon Cultivator should be welcoming to women without hesitance. She thought that as long as she expressed her feelings, this Demon Cultivator would eagerly bring her to the City Lord Mansion. Why was there so much delay?
"She likes you for being strong and dumb." Suddenly, Li Suyi’s chilly voice came through.
"Ah, young lady, how can you say that? Saying I’m strong can be considered a compliment, but calling me dumb is not right," Duanmu Xin looked at Li Suyi, who stood not far away, smilingly arguing, "I may like beautiful women, but I have high standards. You can question my character, but you cannot question my taste. Right, Cao Xilan?" As he finished, Duanmu Xin looked towards Cao Xilan, his gaze turning cold.
Cao Xilan’s expression changed dramatically, she turned hatefully towards Li Suyi, then back to Duanmu Xin, "You knew who I was all along?"
"Of course. The infamous Cao Xilan, so cruel that even we Demon Cultivators are daunted, how could I not know?" Duanmu Xin laughed mockingly.
"As a Demon Cultivator, do you have the nerve to mock me? Aren’t you even more ruthless, with countless lives on your hands?" Cao Xilan gritted her teeth and spat angrily.
"Hey, how can you insult me like that? Do you really think you’re comparable to me?" Duanmu Xin snapped his fan shut with a flourish, "I may be bad, but I have my principles. Take, for instance, the notion of killing and robbing; I haven’t killed, I just took things and let the people go. If they resisted, I would beat them up but wouldn’t harm their foundation. But you, you take their things, dig out their Spirit Roots, cut off their limbs, making them a waste worse than death, and then you call yourself merciful for sparing their lives."
