Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 368 - 308: Taibai Phecda: Su Yuan? Not Familiar at All.
The diameter of the light pillar is about ten meters. While it is imposing, it does not harm the people waiting around it.
A few seconds later, as the rainbow-colored light pillar slowly dissipates, a figure appears in front of everyone present.
Su Yuan instinctively focuses his gaze.
The first thing he sees is a head of fiery red hair flowing in the wind, like a piece of drifting fiery cloud, dazzling and eye-catching.
After forcefully moving his gaze away from the fiery red hair, Su Yuan finally sees clearly the owner of the red hair.
She is a tall woman, dressed in a black hollow-out gown, whose face and figure reveal no trace of imperfection, a red-haired lady.
She’s the kind of big sister that nerds would shout "Step on me, sister!" upon seeing her.
However, Su Yuan does not let her stunning appearance bewilder his mind.
Because you never know her true age.
Maybe she’s a super-aged big sister who has lived since the early stage of Spiritual Energy Revival and is now three hundred years older?
A 19-year-old college student like him definitely couldn’t handle it.
"Realm Master of the Wu Luo Realm, still as splendid as ever."
True Celestial Monarch is the first to speak. This youth whom one would expect to be a graceful sword cultivator actually has a very warm smile on his face.
"Realm Master of the Wu Luo Realm... though not a Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch lurking in the shadows, she is one of the top-ranked Nascent Soul True Monarchs."
Looking at this intellectual and elegant older sister, a piece of information flashes through Su Yuan’s mind.
It’s a dossier that he could only access after becoming a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, containing some data on 283 Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Federation.
Among them, Wu Luo True Monarch, also known as Realm Master of the Wu Luo Realm, is listed within the very top lines of this dossier, ranking over twenty positions higher than True Celestial Monarch.
And there are reasons why Wu Luo True Monarch is ranked so far ahead among nearly three hundred Nascent Souls of the Federation.
Firstly, she is a superpower who rose to prominence since the early stage of Spiritual Energy Revival, witnessing the rise of the Blue Star Cultivation Realm from the beginning, and she’s almost four hundred years old now.
Secondly, having endured the darkest chaotic period of the early stage of Spiritual Energy Revival, her personal strength ranks among the top within the nearly three hundred Nascent Souls.
More importantly, Wu Luo True Monarch commands more worlds than anyone below the Divinity Transformation level!
It is rumored that her former title was not Wu Luo, and only after she ruled over hundreds of large and small worlds did she change it to Wu Luo.
Meaning that there will always be some worlds under her dominion where the sun never sets.
How wealthy must such a perpetual sunlit realm master be?
Pardon Su Yuan’s limited knowledge; he can’t imagine it.
However... all these achievements of Wu Luo True Monarch are not the most important!
The real reason Evil Extermination University holds her in such reverence is singular... this person has a Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch as her best friend!
Many times, the appearance of Wu Luo True Monarch represents the will of that Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch.
This is quite terrifying, isn’t it?
It’s just unfortunate that Su Yuan’s permissions as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator aren’t high enough to know which of the Top Ten Divinity Transformations is Wu Luo True Monarch’s best friend.
As Su Yuan recognizes the red-haired woman’s identity, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs like Taibai Phecda all bow and greet her.
Naturally, Su Yuan and the other students follow suit, warmly welcoming her presence.
But right in this solemn atmosphere, a sudden awkward exclamation of "Quack!" erupts from the crowd!
Especially for Su Yuan, this exclamation is particularly noticeable, as the person who shouted is standing right next to him.
And this distinct quacking noise, who could it be if not Qi Hanyan?
Su Yuan swiftly turns his head, looking sternly at the girl covering her mouth with a flushed face, silently questioning with his eyes.
What are you shouting about?
The pink-haired girl clearly understands the meaning in Su Yuan’s eyes and seems wanting to verbalize an explanation.
But the surrounding people’s gazes have already been cast onto Qi Hanyan, scaring the pink-haired girl into hiding behind Su Yuan.
Already drawing attention by making a discordant sound, Qi Hanyan’s movement further captures everyone’s focus.
Even a cluster of Nascent Soul True Monarchs turns their gaze towards the direction of these two.
Su Yuan inevitably feels a bit anxious.
He grabs Qi Hanyan’s arm and vigorously pulls the girl out:
"What are you hiding for? Come out quickly! Don’t you know what kind of occasion this is?"
"If Wu Luo True Monarch were to hold you accountable, even calling your mom won’t help!"
Su Yuan’s idea is simple, even if Qi Hanyan is a Saintess, there are differences between Nascent Souls.
Can Qi Hanyan’s mom compare to Wu Luo True Monarch?
Not a bit, alright?
If she doesn’t straighten up her attitude quickly, even if Wu Luo True Monarch isn’t angry, just mentioning it to her mom would give this girl a hard time.
However, the pink-haired girl seems rooted to the spot, stubbornly refusing to come out from behind Su Yuan.
As if, stepping out would result in her being devoured by some monstrous beast.
Su Yuan was a bit angry:
"What do you think you’re doing at a time like this?! Do you believe I won’t make you work overtime for three days and nights straight after school?"
"Um, Su Yuan..."
Chi Le’an tugged at Su Yuan’s sleeve, wanting to say something but hesitated.
Su Yuan shrugged off Chi Le’an’s hand, snorted coldly, and said:
"Don’t stop me. This girl is used to being sloppy. If she doesn’t get a little discipline every now and then, she’ll tear the roof off!"
After he said that, Su Yuan turned to Wu Luo True Monarch and apologized:
"Senior Wu Luo, my friend here is a bit ignorant. I’ve already reprimanded her. Please don’t take it personally."
Su Yuan’s move was obviously a ploy to gain sympathy.
But even if the big shots saw through it, they would probably just laugh it off and gently let it pass.
However, things didn’t go as Su Yuan expected.
Because the subtle elegant smile on Wu Luo True Monarch’s face had vanished completely without him realizing.
Su Yuan’s heart skipped a beat.
Ssss—
Could it be that Wu Luo True Monarch is petty!
He couldn’t help but look at his master for help.
And then, he saw Taibai Phecda struggling to hold back a laugh with a suppressed expression.
???
Su Yuan looked at the other Nascent Soul True Monarchs and found them all watching him with interest, their eyes carrying a hint of weirdness and... sympathy.
A bad premonition arose in Su Yuan’s mind.
"Qi Hanyan, your classmate is working so hard to back you up, are you planning to keep hiding behind him?"
Wu Luo True Monarch said slowly, with a slight sternness in her tone.
The pink-haired girl trembled, then cautiously stepped out from behind Su Yuan. Under Su Yuan’s stunned eyes, she softly said:
"Mom, I was wrong."
The short four words, as soft as a mosquito’s buzz, made Su Yuan feel like the sky was falling!
No way, your mom is Wu Luo True Monarch?
Why didn’t you mention it earlier! Couldn’t you have told me sooner?
Su Yuan finally understood why the elegant elder sister had suddenly turned cold-faced!
It would be strange if she weren’t angry!
Think about what Su Yuan had been doing just now?
What should have been a joyful reunion between mother and daughter, he mistook for Qi Hanyan acting up again, threatening in front of her mother to make Qi Hanyan work overtime and discipline her.
This... this kind of danger is like throwing an ultrasound report in your girlfriend’s mother’s face and saying you’re an unemployed bumpkin relying solely on her daughter. What’s the difference?
He turned to Chi Le’an indignantly and gritted his teeth:
"Why didn’t you give me a heads-up?"
Chi Le’an looked innocent: "I wanted to remind you, but you never gave me a chance."
"Su Yuan."
Just then, Wu Luo True Monarch’s voice rang out again.
"I’m here!"
Su Yuan stood up straight like a soldier.
Looking at the imposing elder sister walking towards him, Su Yuan felt a chill in his heart.
Yesterday he was thinking about how to make an impression in front of the important figures visiting Evil Extermination University, but now Su Yuan just wanted to find a hole to hide in.
No need to perform! You’re already on the big shots’ blacklist! They might forget everything else but never forget to hammer you!
At this moment, Su Yuan wished Wu Luo True Monarch were as understanding as Zhu Tianqing’s dad, Demon Refining True Monarch.
Would the red-haired elder sister clasp my hands and sincerely thank me for taking care of Qi Hanyan?
Such a fantasy suddenly popped into Su Yuan’s mind.
Unfortunately, the next words from the red-haired elder sister completely shattered Su Yuan’s hope.
"Su Yuan, during summer vacation, you forcibly took my daughter to your Demon Cave and made her work for you without pay for so long."
"At first, I didn’t believe Hanyan was working overtime every day, but after seeing your demonic behavior firsthand, I had no choice but to believe it."
"Su Yuan, why did you toy with my cherished daughter at your sweatshop?"
"Please give me a... reasonable explanation."
