Dragon Tamer

Chapter 499: Summoning Demon Sect

 

A wooden house facing the valley, with empty Sword Sect chambers all around, Ming Xiu and Zhong Lin naturally arranged this pair of star-crossed lovers to stay together…

On someone else’s turf, the female from the Summoning Demon Sect dared not raise any objections, and instead, she was quietly observing the changes.

After Zhong Lin and Ming Xiu left, she immediately went to Zhu Minglang’s neatly packed luggage, snatching back her very extravagant Moon Cassock, which she seemed to care about greatly.

“Hmph, thanks for hiding it for me, I’m leaving!” The woman from the Summoning Demon Sect didn’t want to stay a moment longer, grabbing her belongings and planning to leave overnight.

“As a member of the Summoning Demon Sect, you’re a bit too naive. If they really trusted us, why bother escorting us all the way here? I bet you, the moment you show any intention to flee, the Sky Slaughter Sword Array will turn you into mincemeat!” Zhu Minglang said indifferently.

The woman from the Summoning Demon Sect frowned, her expression becoming more solemn.

Thinking carefully, indeed these people were overly enthusiastic; there was no need to welcome a man and a woman camping in the wild. It was nothing more than not being completely certain about the two’s identities, so they simply escorted them to the sect’s gates to observe for a while.

“If you’re a member of the Yaoshan Sword Sect, why would you help me?” The woman from the Summoning Demon Sect started to doubt Zhu Minglang’s motives.

“I have my own standards of judgment. If they told me you drained the blood of a whole village and were seen by them during your escape, of course, I wouldn’t shelter you,” Zhu Minglang explained.

“In your eyes, is our Summoning Demon Sect really akin to evil spirits? We’re all cultivators, at most our actions are a bit more extreme,” the woman’s tone turned cold.

“I’m not planning to argue with you about such grand principles. It’s just that instinctively, I think you’re quite good-looking and I hope you’re not as evil as I am,” Zhu Minglang yawned, took off his boots, and sprawled on the bed before continuing, “Oh, and don’t take it seriously when I previously said you were my grand maidservant, devoted to me heart and soul. I’m a principled man. Don’t try to use gratitude to share my bed. Take a couple of chairs, arrange them end to end, and sleep over in that corner…”

Rolling up the quilt, Zhu Minglang monopolized the large bed and also casually untied the curtains, no longer worrying about how the woman from the Summoning Demon Sect was going to make it through the long night, and started sleeping soundly.

The woman from the Summoning Demon Sect stamped her foot in anger!

He was a man of principles, did that mean she was a flirtatious and promiscuous woman?

“Living under someone else’s roof, stay calm and peaceful, stay calm and peaceful…” The woman from the Summoning Demon Sect recited the mantra to herself.

“Right, that Moon Cassock you stole, I’ll keep it safe for you. I’ve staked the reputation of the Yaoshan Sword Sect to protect you. To avoid you causing any trouble for me, I need to take something,” Zhu Minglang’s voice came from inside the bed-curtains.

The woman from the Summoning Demon Sect didn’t understand at first, but when she turned to check her Moon Cassock, she found the pouch empty – Zhu Minglang had somehow taken the important garment without her noticing!

The woman from the Summoning Demon Sect rose, tore open the bed-curtains, and glared at Zhu Minglang, who was showing only his head from under the blankets.

Zhu Minglang opened his eyes, still sleepy, and said, “Tomorrow morning, they’ll ask us to visit the Sword Manor, and surely someone will sneak in to search our luggage. If your identity is exposed again, it will not just be your problem but mine as well.”

Hearing these words, the woman from the Summoning Demon Sect’s rage finally subsided a bit. She stared at Zhu Minglang for a while before turning away with a cold snort, going back to the table.

“That was a keepsake from my mother…” After a long pause, the woman from the Summoning Demon Sect finally spoke softly.

“Hah hoo~~~~ Hah hoo~~~~~” Even, deep snores were already coming from within the bed-curtains.

The Demon Sect woman clutched her cup of hot tea, almost crushing it in her grip.

After some contemplation, the Demon Sect woman decided to reveal why she had stolen the Moon Cassock, feeling that since the other party had protected her, she should be somewhat honest. Who would have known that the guy would simply fall asleep, completely disregarding her, a woman of the Demon Sect!!

How big must this guy’s heart be!

After Zhu Minglang had fallen asleep, the Demon Sect woman still searched the room, wanting to know where Zhu Minglang had hidden her Moon Cassock, but after searching the entire room, she found none of her belongings.

In the end, she was certain that Zhu Minglang must have hidden her Moon Cassock under his pillow. The thought of this man keeping her worn clothing by the bed made Ye Youying feel incredibly uneasy and she secretly cursed in her heart: Shameless, sleazy!

Waking up at dawn, sleeping in a comfortable big bed was indeed much better than camping in the wild.

Zhu Minglang stretched comfortably and glanced around the room to see the Demon Sect woman sitting on a chair, resting her head on one hand – she must have been too sleepy and had fallen asleep sitting up.

When Zhu Minglang woke up, she woke up not long after, probably hearing some noise. She still had a very strong sense of wariness towards Zhu Minglang.

“Go wash your face. They haven’t seen what you look like, and don’t even know if you’re male or female,” Zhu Minglang said to her with her cheeks grimy and dark.

Seeing Zhu Minglang leave the bed, she quickly moved to the bedside and lifted the pillow and bedding, only to find it empty inside; he hadn’t hidden her precious Moon Cassock there, which surprised and disappointed the Demon Sect woman, Ye Youying.

“Where did you hide it!” demanded Ye Youying, the Demon Sect woman.

“You won’t find it. Once we safely get through these next few days and you haven’t caused me any more trouble, I will return it to you… Oh right, you said if I helped you, you wouldn’t let me down, so I hope you have a proper thank-you gift ready by then,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Now we’re in an even worse situation!” Ye Youying said, not in the best of moods.

“That’s not my fault. The people of the White Robe Sword Sect aren’t a bunch of idiots. Coming across two people by a campfire in the wilderness, they might suspect a Demon Sect accomplice signaling… Their treatment of us has already been quite courteous. If I hadn’t revealed my Yaoshan Sword Sect identity, do you think you’d still be alive now?” Zhu Minglang argued.

Ye Youying of the Demon Sect also understood that Zhu Minglang had a point, but the thought of being an inexplicable servant girl, detained in the Sect Forest by the White Robe Sword Sect, made her extremely uncomfortable, especially since the Moon Cassock that gave her the only sense of safety was in Zhu Minglang’s hands.

“Hmph, then I really should thank you properly,” the Demon Sect woman said, dependent on others but not concealing her pride.

“Which power do you belong to?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Summoning Demon Sect,” Ye Youying answered.

“Isn’t the Demon Summoning Technique an orthodox Art of Mortals and Gods? How did it become a Demon Sect?” Zhu Minglang asked, puzzled.

The Demon Summoning Technique is a kind of cultivation practiced by Cultivators that bears some resemblance to Dragon Shepherds. Dragon Shepherds command and raise dragons, while these Summoning Demon Masters could summon the wild Demon Spirits and Demon Spirits.

He remembered that at the major power competition, Pu Hanrong from the Pu Clan was a Summoning Demon Master!
