Sorry but I only accept female disciples! - Chapter 34: She is back!

Chapter 34: She is back!

Under the gentle glow of the moonlight, Zhang Yuan was sitting on the wooden bench outside his house as the night breeze softly tousled his hair.

He looked down at his lap and saw the beautiful face of his disciple; while she was sleeping peacefully.

His eyes grew tender and he delicately caressed her head, tucking on a strand of hair behind her ear.

“Master…” Muttering in her sleep, she turned her head on his lap and buried her face in his stomach, relishing in his warmth.

Zhang Yuan let out a faint chuckle and continued patting her head.

“My Lord…” At this time, Mei Yu came out of the house and walked closer to him.

“Oh, she is asleep.” Strolling near him, she sat beside him on the bench.

Zhang Yuan raised his arm and as she leaned on his chest, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

Hugging him, Mei Yu giggled to herself “My Lord… I feel like I am your wife.”

“Oh, did you you forgot? You are my wife…”

Mei Yu raised her head and looked into his eyes “Then, do I need to call you, Husband?”

Zhang Yuan shrugged “Well if you’d like to.”

However, Mei Yu shook her head “No, that kind of makes me on the same level as you… I will just stay below you, so I will stick with Lord.”

“Your wish…”

…

As they were enjoying the warmth of the cold night, Mei Yu turned her eyes to look at the woman who was walking towards them.

The woman’s body is bruised with injuries and there are many claw marks on her body which is dripping with blood; even some of her clothes are burned.

The demon, Xue Hua took heavy steps as she came closer to the bench and her whole body was trembling in pain.

She raised her eyes and a drop of blood dribbled from her face and fell on the floor.

*thud* As she came close to him, she lost the strength in her body and collapsed to her knees.

“C-Can you… urgh, help me? I know you have helped me once and… I will surely repay for it one day.”

She cupped her hands and bowed her head, her eyes moistening with tears “Help me once again and I will never forget about your kindness and will definitely repay for that too.”

Her body shuddered in excruciating pain as tears streamed down her face “I-I can’t die yet…”

Zhang Yuan helped her and healed her when she was on the brink of death and he didn’t do anything to her the first time and let her go.

And he didn’t see her as an object, so she was kind of sure that he would help her again.

She knows she is asking for too much, but for now.. she couldn’t do anything and this is the only way.

Zhang Yuan let out a sigh and a yellow energy swirled around Xue Hua, instantly healing her.

Feeling the pain disappearing in her body and feeling refreshed, Xue Hua again bowed her head.

Mei Yu pointed her finger at Xue Hua “You should really be grateful that My Lord is kind enough to help an ungrateful woman like you.” Geett the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐vels on no/v/elbin(.)c/om

Xue Hua just stayed silent, keeping her head lowered as she was in no position to talk back here.

Zhang Yuan glanced at her and frowned slightly “So, you can’t climb down the mountain?”

Xue Hua was still kneeling on the grassland and shook her head “No, I can’t… particularly that creature I saw after evening. It almost killed me.”

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but chuckle “You borrowed forbidden powers from the devil and still can’t escape from this forest?”

*gasp* Xue Hua’s eyes dilated in shock and her body trembled in dread “H-How did you you…”

Zhang Yuan saw the place near her neck and her right hand which was corrupted and is dark in color “See, the forbidden power has even corrupted your body this much.”

Mei Yu squinted her eyes and muttered “So, that’s why her soul is like this… she has a pact with the Devil.”

Xue Hua’s heartbeat raised in fear because this handsome man in front of her is casually spilling her darkest secret.

“I-I don’t know what you are talking about.”

Zhang Yuan smiled faintly “Oh, you don’t have to lie. I can see through you…”

Xue Hua closed her eyes and sighed in her heart “I.. do have a pact with the devil and borrowed powers for the price of my soul.”

Zhang Yuan gave a nod and asked “You are so desperate for power that… you don’t mind selling your soul?”

Upon hearing this, Xue Hua’s eyes narrowed in determination “No, I don’t mind selling my soul if I can reach my goal.”

Mei Yu was puzzled seeing her determination “I wonder what drives you to go this thirsty for power.”

Xue Hua turned her gaze to Zhang Yuan and spoke “I just want to get my revenge for my family and my homeland.”

Zhang Yuan kept his subtle smile “Homeland? Weren’t all of you demons residing in your domain in the seas? And you want to get your revenge on someone in the human world?”

Xue Hua’s heart wavered in hesitation and she spoke “If I say whom I want to get my revenge on, you might hate me… so I choose to stay silent.”

“Hate you?” Zhang Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Xue Hua slightly nodded her head “That faction is considered one of the strongest faction in the human world and many people has respect for it and it is even revered by many.”

“I do not want to get on your bad side.”

Zhang Yuan spoke “I am not biased toward humans or demons. I see both of them as same… so speak up. Which faction is that?”

Hm? Xue Hua’s gaze narrowed ‘He… even helped a demon like me. So…’

“The Yu Hong holy land.”

Mei Yu raised an eyebrow in amusement ‘Hoh, the land where even the Goddess of Life graced her presence. Even now, people are dying to at least set their foot on that land’

Zhang Yuan smiled and asked “And the person you want to get your revenge on?”

“The Holy Maiden, Hong Shi.”
