So I Am A Demon Descendent!-Chapter 73: My Undying Hero

There was a distinguished guest in the Long residence today: a famous figure from ancient theology. Although the Longs were one of the top four families of Infinite City, it was only within the mortal realm. The world’s top powers were always the immortals who were not too secular.

Ancient theology… the ending was always the same. In reality, ancient theology existed as well. They were known as cults.

The Long residence opened up to welcome the guests. Even the main seat was given up, as the clan leader, Long Zhantian, sat beside it. On the main seat sat an old man with cranish hair and a childish face.

Li Xianyu and the others caught up with Long Aotian halfway, telling him that he seemed moody, and that he could share any worries he had with them.

What he said was extremely shameless. Li Xianyu did not have any interactions with Long Aotian prior to this. However, he appeared nonchalant. Instead, it was Thunderbolt Battle Lady and Lady Killer who cringed upon hearing these words.

They were old acquaintances with Long Aotian. Their usually introverted colleague had suddenly become the protagonist in the virtual world, worshipped by all. This plot was already worthy of a play production; now, they had to please him and suck up to him.

Long Aotian was so moved that he took them with him.

After entering the lobby, Long Aotian sat in the last seat; Li Xianyu and the rest stood behind him. Li Xianyu glanced at the woman in white, with deep facial features, making her look like she was of mixed blood.

“This is… Isn’t this Battle Lady?!” Li Xianyu turned his head, looked at Thunderbolt Battle Lady, and then at the woman again.

They looked 70% to 80% alike.

Thunderbolt Battle Lady raised her eyebrows. “What the fuck, I am a member of his harem too?”

Li Xianyu said, “You can rest assured that this character has been written off at the beginning. The better she is, the harder she will be rejected by the heroine.”

“How do you know so well?” asked Thunderbolt Battle Lady and Lady Killer.

Li Xianyu was surprised. “Don’t you read novels?”

Lady Killer said, “Who would waste his time reading a novel? We’re not bored anyway.”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady nodded in agreement.

Li Xianyu was silent for a long time. “It’s hurtful.”

As they spoke, there was also a fierce verbal conflict on the other side. When the old man proposed to cancel the marriage, the people in the Long residence were both shocked and angry, as they felt deeply insulted.

Li Xianyu noticed that Long Aotian grabbed the arm of the seat; his veins were bulging out of his arms.

The thing was, the Dongfang family was a vassal of the ancient theology cults. The missy of the Dongfang family had been practicing within the cults since young. As she aged, she became more powerful, earning the attention of the cult master, and eventually becoming his disciple.

A woman of her stature could not marry a peasant like Long Aotian; hence, the cult came here to cancel the marriage today.

Long Aotian could not tolerate it anymore. He suppressed his anger and declared deeply, “May I ask, you came to my house and openly declared that you want to cancel the marriage. Did you give my father and the Long residence any respect? I am useless, but I won’t allow myself to be thrown about by you guys. I won’t call off this marriage.”

He, at this moment, indeed had the aura of a protagonist.

The missy of the Dongfang family sneered, “Long Aotian, since you know that you are useless, do not think of getting something out of your league. I would rather marry a pig or a dog than marry you. You can’t even open up your qi channels, yet you want to marry me? You’re funny, pitiful and pathetic.”

Her face was extremely disdainful. There was a slight sneer at the corners of her mouth.

Thunderbolt Battle Lady covered her face. “I want to beat this woman up as well. Where did I offend Long Aotian? He’s dealing me such a low blow.”

Li Xianyu guessed. “Long Aotian confessed to you before, and you rejected him?”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady looked up, thought for a moment, and shook her head. “No, when Long Aotian just joined the company, I also helped him several times generously. Later, he often talked to me in private, but always said meaningless things and talked about topics that were not topics. I didn’t know how to continue the conversation. Every time I couldn’t talk anymore, I said, ‘Haha, I’m going to shower.’”

Li Xianyu was speechless.

There was a deep grudge indeed. A very deep grudge. His low blow was justified.

Although Battle Lady was a violent maniac in battle, she was not violent at all under normal conditions. She was very gentle and kind, which Li Xianyu felt as well. Imagine that an otaku man suddenly had a beautiful woman caring about him. Wouldn’t he feel excited? He would have imagined that he could have something going on with his goddess, and chat her up incessantly. However, his hopes were dashed, time and again, by messages saying that “I’m going to shower.”

He felt sad just thinking about it.

“Don’t talk about these useless things,” murmured Lady Killer. “Do you see any loopholes? Are you ready to sever ties with Long Aotian?”

Li Xianyu thought for a moment and shook his head. “No.”

This plot had no major logical loopholes, based on the novels of similar genre he had read in the past.

You are useless indeed. You’re a wastrel with a bad reputation. Why would she marry you? It was natural for a woman to want to marry a rich man, just as a man would like to find a beautiful woman to be his wife. It was the norm.

Li Xianyu shouted that he wanted to follow him, but in fact, he just didn’t want to miss out on this wonderful plot. If he guessed correctly, it would only get more exciting.

Sure enough, Long Aotian’s blood rushed to his face. His face turned red and his body trembled with humiliation. Finally, he took a deep breath. “Today, you people are bullying me based on your influence. I have nothing to say about that, but…”

He specially made a pause in his sentence as well. He scanned the crowd, before articulating clearly, word by word, “Thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi, don’t despise the young man for being poor.”

The whole hall was quiet, with only the young man’s angry and firm words echoing in the air. His handsome face was peppered with persistence and determination.

Long Aotian’s solitary shadow became the focus of attention.

Li Xianyu took a breath. “At this instant, the terror is unspoken of.”

…

The marriage was ultimately cancelled in the end. This was a certainty from the start. Without this, how would the plot advance?

Long Aotian made a three-year pact with the missy of the Dongfang family. Three years later, they would fight to the death on top of the Forbidden Peak.

After the marriage cancellation, Long Aotian suddenly could practice qi. This matter was kept secret. It was discovered by Li Xianyu, who accidentally saw him breathing and puffing his spiritual essence. He figured that it should be Long Aotian using a cheat code.

Time flew by fast. More than three months passed in a twinkle of an eye.

During this period, Long Aotian and Ye Liangjing fought to the death. At a time when everyone felt that Long Aotian was going to humiliate himself, the outcome shocked many people. The “useless” Long Aotian suddenly rose to power and shocked the four families by defeating Ye Liangjing, who was decent enough himself.

For a while, the whole city talked about Long Aotian.

The poor Ye Liangjing, whose solar plexus was crippled in defeat, became a stepping stone for Long Aotian’s influence.

Li Xianyu witnessed the whole process and looked at the sad scene, where Ye Liangjing was carried away by his family. He suddenly thought to himself, Long Aotian is addicted to the virtual world and refuses to come out. Apart from being able to get what he wants here, did he not dare to wake up and face his colleagues in the company?

Ye Liangjing, a minor villain, already had his solar plexus crippled. This was akin to falling from heaven to hell many times over. What about those people, who would become his enemies in future? Would their families die many times over?

When they woke up, he would be surprised if they did not kill Long Aotian.

Li Xianyu and Thunderbolt Battle Lady were on the verge of being driver crazy, having spent three months in the virtual world. Although only half a day passed in the real world, they really felt that three months had passed.

They felt they had been wearing adult diapers for three months. They felt awful just thinking about it.

The virtual world had its perks as well. Being trapped in a mental formation for a long time and managing to keep awake could enhance people’s spiritual power. The growth of spiritual power brought benefits such as: a more flexible mind, a more accurate sixth sense, and an enhanced memory.

In addition, Thunderbolt Battle Lady and Lady Killer taught him a lot of fighting skills and shared a lot of their experiences with him. Li Xianyu’s theoretical knowledge grew exponentially.

Thunderbolt Battle Lady lay on the table. She had short hair, causing her fair necks and curvaceous figure to be revealed. Her cleavage showed, despite her not-so-plump chest.

She seemed helpless as she said, “It’s boring, I want to go out, who has an idea?”

Li Xianyu and Lady Killer shrugged their shoulders at the same time.

Thunderbolt Battle Lady continued dreamily, “Two unreliable men. If only a hero could come and rescue me now…”

Li Xianyu chuckled and replied, “Your hero will have a red and blue buff, and a 100% critical strike rate. He will use his three rods to take your wretched life.”

After that, he was manhandled by Thunderbolt Battle Lady.

At this time, a little servant girl rushed towards them in a hurry. Her face was full of fright and tears in her eyes. She shouted, “Something has happened! Something has happened! Something has happened to Miss Linglong!”
