I've Become the Demoness

Chapter 17-The Enemy Catches Up

The closer Xiu Xiang got to the manor, the denser the aura was. It was heavy and dark as if a shadow had enveloped the entire area.

"This isn't a curse..." Xiu Xiang suddenly remembered about a small time demon who loved eating the souls of virgins, especially female virgins. The demoness had scouted it to be a part of her demon clan after she left the peak.

What was his name again?

Hua Jian?

"Ugh... this aura feels gross. It's like I'm getting groped..." she thought. Goosebumps traveled up her arms and she couldn't help but shiver. She easily jumped over the wall of the manor and landed into a beautiful courtyard.

A soft flute could be heard in the distance. It sounded quite enticing as if it was beckoning her to give herself to it. She easily ignored the beckoning call but willingly followed the sound. Whoever was behind the music was the demon she was looking for.

She entered a large hall where a group of girls dressed in promiscuous clothing lined up one after another. They were all on their knees staring up lovingly at a man who sat on a throne like chair at the end of the room.

The man had beautiful silky silver hair tied loosely by a red ribbon. He donned a loosely tied robe, revealing the shapely body underneath. In his hand was a handcrafted jade flute. He leaned casually back with one leg propped up, showing well sculpted legs.

How could he be more beautiful than a woman?!

Upon hearing someone enter the room without his permission, he stopped blowing on the flute and opened his eyes to reveal golden cat like eyes.
"What's this...? A mere human actually managed to enter my dimension without even falling into my hallucinations?" Hua Jian asked. He sounded quite surprised and intrigued.

Xiu Xiang shrugged as she walked forward with her hands behind her back. She was just about to speak when she noticed a familiar figure among the many women who were shooting love beams at the beautiful man.

"Bai Qing?" she thought. Her brows furrowed as she stared at the young maiden in yellow.

How did she end up here? It hasn't even been an hour since the two of them separated! How troublesome!

As she thought this, she suddenly remembered a distinct character from the novel who was quite annoying. The future wife of Wei Xing was constantly getting into trouble and was always at odd's end with the Demoness. What was her name? Bai Qing--!

"Ah!" she cried as she furiously pointed a finger at Bai Qing.

Hua Jian, who watched her curiously, couldn't help but reveal a beautiful grin.

"I like you, human. You don't seem to fear me, and you even managed to break into my humble abode. Become one of my servants and I'll reward you well," he spoke.

Xiu Xiang had finally gotten over the shock of Bai Qing and Hua Jian's words finally registered in her mind.

"Your servant?" Xiu Xiang scoffed and she rolled her eyes in annoyance. In the novel, he was her servant. As if she was about to let a small time demon tell her what to do. She could easily turn him to dust with a snap of her fingers if she wanted to. Her eyes flashed bright red as she smirked at him. Her demon beast aura intensified and easily overpowered Hua Jian's weak aura. The groping sensation finally disappeared and Xiu Xiang felt a bit better.

Hua Jian shifted uncomfortably in his throne from the intense aura.

"You're... not human?" he asked nervously.

"Did I say that I was?" she retorted.

Hua Jian forced out a nervous laughter as he spoke, "Pardon my inhospitality, revered one. To what do I owe the pleasure of having this revered one grace us with his presence?"
