Chapter 13: The Demon Sect is the real overlord [please vote for evaluation]

Liu Chengshuang said, “Ye Feng, you shameless scoundrel!”*

[*”王八蛋 (wáng bā dàn)”: A very strong insult in Chinese, translating to “bastard” or “scoundrel.” It’s often used in frustration or anger.]

Immediately, several female disciples angrily scolded, “You’re disgusting!”

“Disgusting?” Ye Feng shamelessly covered his face, “That means I’m living in your hearts!”

“Come, come, Sister Liu, slap both sides. Slap this side too!”

While speaking, he turned the other side of his face towards Liu Chengshuang.

Liu Chengshuang merely glared at him fiercely, “Hitting you would dirty my hands!”

“I don’t mind, it smells nice!” Ye Feng touched the side of his face that was slapped.

Then he even put his fingers up to his nose and kissed them.

Liu Chengshuang could no longer hold it in and took a deep breath, “Get lost!!”

“Alright, I’ll get lost!” Ye Feng grinned, and as he turned around to leave, he suddenly stopped after taking a step and turned back, “Sister Liu, your figure is getting better and better, more and more like our sect master’s mature womanly charm!”*

[*”熟女风范 (shú nǚ fēng fàn)”: “Mature womanly charm” or “milf vibe,” referencing the mature, attractive style of an experienced woman.]

After saying this, he quickly bolted away.

Liu Chengshuang shouted, “You… bastard!”*

[*”王八蛋 (wáng bā dàn)”: A very strong insult in Chinese, translating to “bastard” or “scoundrel.” It’s often used in frustration or anger.]

Liu Chengshuang turned around, watching Ye Feng’s departing figure, but couldn’t be bothered to chase him down to settle accounts.

She could only sigh helplessly and then turned to the female disciples in the pool, “Get dressed. Can’t you be a little more careful?”

“We… who would’ve known he’d come running to the female disciples’ quarters?” The female disciples said helplessly.

Then they all left the water together and got dressed.

After getting dressed, they angrily said, “Sister Liu, that bastard fools around in the sect all day long. Why hasn’t he been expelled from the sect?”

This was something they were also curious about.

Ye Feng hadn’t done anything that could be considered evil or heinous!

But he was truly annoying.

Some men always think that when they flirt with women, it makes them charming.

They don’t realize that in women’s hearts, they are nothing more than sleazy, low-level perverts.

Ye Feng was that kind of man.

This kind of pervert should have been kicked out of the sect long ago!

Anyway, every time they saw him, it made them angry.

Letting a scoundrel like him stay in the sect meant there were no peaceful days for them.

“Sister Liu, you’re the sect master’s daughter. Can’t you help us out? Let’s file a formal complaint together. I don’t believe we can’t get rid of that scoundrel!” A few female disciples chimed in.

At this point, Liu Chengshuang could only sigh helplessly, “You don’t know, actually…”

The words were at the tip of her tongue, but she suddenly stopped.

Because it was a secret, one that couldn’t be shared with anyone else.

“What is it?” The female disciples all looked at Liu Chengshuang curiously, “Sister, tell us!”

“I’ll tell you, but you must not tell anyone else, or I might be punished!” Liu Chengshuang looked at them seriously.

“Mmm! We definitely won’t tell anyone else!” The female disciples nodded repeatedly.

Liu Chengshuang took a deep breath, then revealed Ye Feng’s secret, “He is actually… the illegitimate son of the current emperor of the Taixuan Dynasty.”

The Taixuan Dynasty was the empire where the  Lingxu Sect was located.

It was a superpower with a thousand-year-old heritage.

On the entire Yuanyang Continent,* it could be considered one of the top hegemonic empires.

[*”元泱大陆 (yuán yāng dà lù)”: Yuanyang Continent, a fictional place in many xianxia (immortal cultivation) novels. It’s a setting for empires, sects, and martial powers in these kinds of stories.]

Ye Feng was the illegitimate son* of the emperor of the Taixuan Dynasty.

[*”私生子 (sī shēng zǐ)”: Illegitimate child. It refers to a child born out of wedlock, often creating tension or scandal, especially in aristocratic or royal families.]

Even Ye Feng himself didn’t know this.

He didn’t know that the current emperor had been secretly keeping an eye on him, and even arranged for experts to protect him.

On the day Ye Feng joined the Lingxu Sect, the emperor of the Taixuan Dynasty personally visited the sect, secretly speaking with the sect master to ask for special care for Ye Feng.

So, despite Ye Feng’s frequent rogue behavior in the Lingxu Sect, he hadn’t been expelled.

The higher-ups in the Lingxu Sect could only turn a blind eye This was something Liu Wenwan had told Liu Chengshuang, otherwise Liu Chengshuang wouldn’t have known either.

As soon as Liu Chengshuang said this, the female disciples were all stunned!

“The emperor’s… illegitimate son? So that means… he’s a prince?” The women’s faces were filled with shock. “My God, he’s actually… a prince? Yet he acts like a hooligan all day long, what a disgrace!”

“He doesn’t know his true identity!” Liu Chengshuang continued, “Back then, His Majesty the Emperor specifically instructed that Ye Feng shouldn’t know about this for now and that it should be treated as part of his training!”

The female disciples nodded. Then they shook their heads helplessly, “So… we really can’t do anything to him!”

“So from now on, just try to avoid him, and if needed, teach him a lesson secretly, but don’t hurt him!”

Liu Chengshuang added, “Of course, you can’t seriously injure him, or else the consequences could be severe!”

For example when shd slapped Ye Feng earlier.

That was fine.

But if they were to cripple or kill him, that would be out of the question.

If something happened to the prince while he was at Lingxu Sect, and the empire held them accountable, the Lingxu Sect wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences.*

[*”吃不了兜着走 (chī bù liǎo dōu zhe zǒu)”: This idiom means “unable to bear the consequences,” often used to warn someone about severe repercussions for their actions.]

“Hmph!

That bastard is just relying on his connections!”

The female disciples scoffed coldly, “Otherwise, someone would’ve beaten him to death long ago!”

Liu Chengshuang said, “Exactly, no wonder the higher-ups in Lingxu Sect seem to be deliberately showing favoritism, not punishing him seriously even when he breaks the rules!”

The female despises replied, “That scoundrel, I hope one day he messes with someone he can’t handle, and they just kill him!”

Liu Chengshuang said,“But he’s a prince. Who could he possibly mess with that’s more powerful than him?”

She continued, “Within the empire, he’s a little emperor!”

“Outside the empire, looking across the entire Yuanyang Continent,* the Taixuan Dynasty is still one of the top powers!”

“He can rely on his backing to act recklessly!”

“…”

This left everyone feeling powerless.

They said, “Because he was a prince, he could do whatever he wanted in the Lingxu Sect.”

They added, “Occasionally, he might be punished, but it was just superficial, very minor punishments. No one could do anything to him!”

“No! There is one force. Not only could they offend the Taixuan Dynasty, but in fact, the Taixuan Dynasty wouldn’t dare to offend them!” Liu Chengshuang suddenly said.

As soon as she spoke, the female disciples exchanged glances with each other.

They immediately thought of the same thing, “Sister Liu, are you talking about… the Demon Sect?”

She replied, “Yes, the Demon Sect was indeed far more powerful than the Taixuan Dynasty. Looking across the entire Yuanyang Continent, and even the entire world!”

She continued, “The Demon Sect was the true hegemon! Even though the Demon Sect wasn’t as powerful as it once was, it was still a dominant force.The Demon Sect was indeed a far stronger existence than the Taixuan Dynasty.”

She added,”Moreover, every member of the Demon Sect was a ruthless character.

No one dared to provoke the Demon Sect lightly. Even the Taixuan Dynasty had to bow down to them.”

“But… how could a force like the Demon Sect possibly get involved with a disciple from the Lingxu Sect?” The female disciples shook their heads helplessly.

Liu Chengshuang replied, “Indeed, if Ye Feng offended the Demon Sect, they could deal with him.”

The female disciples said, “But the problem was, how could someone as insignificant as Ye Feng ever cross paths with such a colossal power?”

Liu Chengshuang sighed helplessly, “So, you all should just avoid him. If you can’t fight him, can’t you at least avoid him?”

The women all nodded. “Yes, if they couldn’t fight him, they could at least avoid him, right?”

Out of sight, out of mind, they just hoped they wouldn’t see that annoying guy anymore.

After all, the Lingxu Sect was so large that, it wasn’t like they had to see him every day.

At the same time, they hoped that one day that bastard would provoke some powerful figure and end up getting killed!

After all, with Ye Feng’s rogue nature, it wouldn’t be surprising if he eventually got himself into serious trouble!
