Chapter 167 Why Choose Me?
Liu Ruyan stood there in a daze.
The future Emperor Ruyan was actually so lowly as to seduce a man? !
How dare you!
"Damn it, if the price of becoming a saint is to seduce men, then I'd rather not be a saint!" Liu Ruyan clenched her jade hands hidden in her long skirt and made up her mind.
But before she could express her determination, Li Xiu handed her a scroll and said, "This is your mission target. His information is all on it. Take a look first."
Liu Ruyan took it but did not open it. "Sect Master, Ruyan was brought back to the sect by you. I will never forget your kindness, but please forgive me this time..."
Li Xiu waved his hand and interrupted her, saying, "I know you are stubborn, but this time I advise you to take a look at him first."
"No need to look at it." Liu Ruyan shook her head and said with a firm face: "Even if I, Liu Ruyan, die now, I will never do such a despicable thing!"
After saying that, Liu Ruyan knelt down and said, "Sect Master, I'm sorry, please expel Ruyan from the sect."
Li Xiu looked at Liu Ruyan with a half-smile and said, "It's not too late for you to take a look at this person first before making a decision, otherwise you will have no place to cry when the time comes."
"Okay, but I, Liu Ruyan, will never cry!"
Liu Ruyan thought about it and decided to take a look.
Disobeying the Queen's orders will only lead to death. She wants to know which bastard killed her, and she will not let him go even if she becomes a ghost.
Liu Ruyan opened the scroll in her hand and looked down. She saw a handsome man in the painting, dressed in white clothes as white as snow, with an elegant temperament, as if he was a banished celestial being from heaven!
"What a handsome boy~"
Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up, and she immediately looked at the small words beside the portrait: "Qingyun Immortal Sect, Qiongming Peak disciple, Ning Changge, eighteen, cultivation level is at least at the Divine Transformation stage."
Seeing that Liu Ruyan's saliva was about to drip onto the painting, Li Xiu knew that the matter was settled, "How is it? Will you still be expelled from the sect?"
Liu Ruyan said without hesitation, "Yes."
"...Huh?" Li Xiu was stunned when he heard that. He then looked at Liu Ruyan in surprise and asked, "Is it because he is not handsome enough? Is he not strong enough? Is he not high enough?"
"He is very good-looking. I have never seen such a handsome boy before... no, I can say that there will never be such a handsome boy in the future." Liu Ruyan shook her head. "He is also very strong and his status is also very high."
At the age of eighteen, he has already reached the level of Divine Transformation. I am afraid that no one in the Nine Realms has such talent.
He is also a disciple of the top sect like Qingyun Immortal Sect, and his status is many times higher than hers as a disciple of Hehuan Sect.
"Then why don't you agree to this?" Li Xiu asked curiously, "Do you know that as long as you get him, you can say that you have one foot in the gate of immortality in this life?"
Liu Ruyan said word by word in a deep voice: "Master, what you said may be of great benefit to others, but it means nothing to me, Liu Ruyan!"
"In the past twenty years in the Demon Cult, I have learned a lot and forgotten a lot, but there is one thing I have never forgotten and I dare not forget."
At this point, Liu Ruyan stood up, closed the scroll in her hand, and returned it to Li Xiu: "That is, only your own strength is truly strong, everything else is nothing but clouds!"
"What a powerful person." Li Xiu exclaimed, but then sneered: "Liu Ruyan, you have principles. This sect leader is very happy for you."
"But you know that disobeying the teachings is not as simple as being expelled from the sect."
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying pressure poured down, and Liu Ruyan immediately half-knelt on the ground, with a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
"Put aside your pitiful and petty principles. This is the Demon Sect. If you don't have the strength, you won't know how you died." Li Xiu stared at her coldly and said:
"I'll ask you one last time, will you accept this mission?"
Liu Ruyan bit her red lips tightly, raised her head stubbornly, and looked directly into Li Xiu's eyes, "No!"
Li Xiu's eyes turned cold, "If that's the case, then I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the Queen."
But although he said this, the terrifying pressure never fell completely on Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan naturally sensed this strange behavior and asked in confusion: "Sect Master, what are you doing?"
"Forget it, go ahead. Just pretend that I have never brought you back to the sect." Li Xiu put away his pressure and sighed:
"Maybe you are right. After all, you and he are different. Even if you seduce the lifesaver in the end, the ending will probably not be that good."
Lifesaver... Liu Ruyan frowned slightly, "Ning Changge, him? My lifesaver?"
Li Xiu nodded and said with some amusement: "It was an accident. You also know the rules of the Saint's election. In the end, it all depends on how strong the forces behind it are."
"If Xiao Yue hadn't been killed by Ning Changge, with your background, you would have died on the night she became a saint."
"..."
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan was silent for a long time, her eyes flickering, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Li Xiu waved his hand and said, "Let's go. I will explain to Her Majesty the Queen."
However, unexpectedly, Liu Ruyan stood up and took back the scroll, "I accept this task."
Li Xiu was stunned and said, "Did you answer it? Didn't you just say you would rather die than seduce her?"
Her gaze rested on the face of the young man in the painting. Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes moved, and her seductive fox eyes seemed to be filled with the spring water of March:
"You're right, strength is the most important thing! No matter if it's something you bring upon yourself or not."
Li Xiu knew she was lying, but he didn't care as long as he completed the task assigned by the Queen. "It's great that you think so."
"You should stay in the sect and practice well these few days. If you need any resources, just let me know. It's best to break through to the Nascent Soul stage before going on missions."
"Okay, thank you, Sect Master." Liu Ruyan nodded slightly, but then she frowned as if she had thought of something, "But Sect Master, I can't even go to Qingyun Immortal Sect, let alone seduce her."
"Don't worry, the Queen has already figured out a solution for this problem for you."
Li Xiu said, "In a few days, the Qingyun Immortal Sect's Qi-refining disciples will go out for training, and Ning Changge will be the leader."
"This training will last for a month, and the location is set at the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. It depends on whether you have the ability to seduce her within this month."
Liu Ruyan's jade hand gently stroked the handsome face of the young man in the painting, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips: "Within three days, I will make him drop his gun, surrender and beg for mercy, and bow down to me obediently."
Li Xiu smiled and said, "Then I wish you success soon."
Liu Ruyan put the scroll back into the jade bracelet and said, "Master, can I ask you a question?"
"explain."
"I'm very curious, why did the Queen choose me?"
The Demonic Sect is spread across nine regions of the world, and there are several female cultivators in the younger generation who are more beautiful and powerful than her.
There is one next door, the eldest daughter of the Ghost King Sect, Shen Leyao.
"Ah...this..."
Li Xiu's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but recall the bad memories at the Heavenly Demon Holy Conference an hour ago.
An hour ago...
