After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

Chapter 228 Impressed

After Lin Chuan and Xu Hanyi stayed in the Demon Clan for another day, they said goodbye and left.

On the day of departure, the morning light was dim and the soft light sprinkled on the earth, giving everything a light golden edge.

Lin Wanxi was reluctant to let him go and accompanied him all the way, walking hurriedly, almost sending him out of the demon clan's territory.

Her eyes were full of attachment and reluctance. If it weren't for Xue Ji beside her holding her sleeve tightly, and if Lin Chuan hadn't vowed that he would come to visit her often in the future, with that kind of energy, she would probably have accompanied Lin Chuan all the way to Tianjian Peak.

"Wanxi, be good. Practice hard when you get back. I'm still waiting for you to protect me in the future."

Lin Chuan said half-jokingly with a smile on his face and tenderness in his eyes.

"Don't worry, sir. I will practice hard and protect you in the future."

Lin Wanxi nodded heavily, her eyes full of determination.

"Uh……"

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. As long as you're well, that's all that matters. I'll come see you when I'm free."

Lin Chuan was slightly startled, then he coughed lightly, and a helpless yet doting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I understand. Take care, sir."

"Take care of yourself."

……

Inside the demon clan's hall, candlelight flickered and shadows were everywhere.

Ye Wutan sat high on the throne that symbolized supreme power, his posture upright but exuding a chilling cold aura.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, looking down at the Catwoman who was kneeling helplessly on the cold ground of the hall, covered in wounds.

Ever since Shejiu was sent to reward the army, the situation of the entire demon clan has been like a calm lake with a huge rock thrown into it, causing layers of huge waves.

The snake tribe was like a beast with ignited ambition. They hastened their crazy pace to swallow up the pig tribe, hoping to fight to the death before the deadly knife actually fell.

However, all this seemingly chaotic and unpredictable situation is actually like a chess game controlled by Ye Wutan, and is completely under his control.

Since he had ascended to the position of Demon King by relying on the powerful Demon King families, he was not in a position to take the initiative and act rashly given the many constraints.

So, he was like a hunter hiding in the darkness, lying dormant quietly, patiently waiting for those people with evil intentions to jump out all at once, and then he could capture them all in one fell swoop.

But just when the snake tribe declared rebellion and Ye Wutan was about to close the net, Catwoman came back.

She was covered in blood and her breath was weak, but she said nothing and, regardless of her own serious injuries, she led her family members with a resolute attitude and fought without hesitation on the front line of suppressing the rebellion.

In a short time, this matter spread quickly among the demon tribe, like a gust of wind, blowing to every corner of the demon tribe.

Now, the demon clan is spreading the news that since the high priest fed himself to the tiger, the demon clan has surprisingly found a loyal and devoted minister who has served two generations of demon kings. This person is Catwoman.

"Why did Xu Hanyi let you come back?"

Ye Wutan's eyes were as sharp as knives, shooting straight at the kneeling Catwoman, as if he wanted to see through her.

"Reply...Reply to the Demon King, Xu Hanyi only killed the Mantis King and did not kill anyone else."

Catwoman was trembling all over, suppressing the pain, and raised her head with difficulty, speaking in a weak but clear voice.

"Oh? Then why are you back alone?"

Ye Wutan narrowed his eyes slightly, and an unfathomable look flashed in his eyes.

"Yes...it was the Horse King who said that the Master did not want us to return alive. After he killed the Pig King, I was forced to kill the Horse King in return."

Catwoman's face was as pale as paper and her body was shaking uncontrollably, but she still spoke truthfully.

"..."

"Since you knew I was going to kill you, why did you come back?"

Ye Wutan stared at Catwoman with a sharp gaze and spoke coldly.

Catwoman's voice was filled with tears, her body trembling slightly, and she said sincerely: "Master Demon King has been kind to me, and besides... besides, I am also Master Demon King's servant."

She paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "I came back this time just to ask for your understanding. What did I do wrong? Even if the end is death, I am willing to accept it."

After saying that, she slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with sadness and expectation, staring at Ye Wutan who was standing high above her.

"Some say that the family behind you, under your instruction, seems to be very dissatisfied with this emperor."

Ye Wutan's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, locked tightly on Catwoman, not missing any change in expression on her face.

"..."

Catwoman felt cold sweat suddenly break out, and her back was instantly soaked. The problem she was most worried about had finally come.

She knew clearly in her mind why she was sent to carry out this life-threatening mission, because she did have rebellious intentions.

Catwoman once served the old demon king, which was a "black history" that was enough to make Ye Wutan feel resentful.

If she hadn't relied on her beauty to catch Ye Wutian's eye, she probably wouldn't have been accepted into his harem. But even if she had been in the harem, how could she have competed with the charming She Jiu?

Soon after, she became pregnant. (There is no reproductive isolation, only impure blood, such as the birth of a half-demon with a human.)

She Jiu whispered in Ye Wuotian's ear, saying that the child's bloodline would definitely be impure. Even if the bloodline was pure, whether he was Ye Wuotian's brother or his son was another matter.

So, the child died by "coincidence".

Catwoman deeply realized that the imperial family was the most ruthless. So, she began to secretly accumulate strength.

I would rather let the world down than let the world down me.

"Default?"

Ye Wutan's voice was like the north wind in winter, cold and biting, with an unquestionable sense of oppression.

Catwoman burst into tears, her voice tinged with sobs. "Ever since you... ignored me, I've often felt unhappy. My family members know the reason and feel sorry for me, so naturally they harbor some resentment towards you. But it's just resentment, not the slightest desire to rebel!"

"If you want to blame someone, please blame me alone. It's because I cared too much about you that my people are like this. I beg you to forgive them."

After saying that, she kowtowed repeatedly, her forehead hitting the ground with a dull sound.

"You finally got pregnant with my son, but in the end, you lost him. Don't you feel any resentment in your heart?"

Ye Wutan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of scrutiny flashed in his eyes.

"It's my own fault, I can't blame anyone else."

Catwoman fell to the ground and cried, her voice was so sad that she almost choked.

"Someone in the clan said that you, despite being seriously injured, wanted to help me eliminate the rebels this time, so you deserve a great reward."

Ye Wutan's tone was calm, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Catwoman knocked her head heavily to the ground, her voice sincere and firm: "It is my duty to share your worries, my lord. I do not want any reward."

Her body was trembling slightly, and it was unclear whether it was because of the unhealed pain or the inner tension.

"Hehe...hehe..." Ye Wutan's mouth curled up and he chuckled a few times with ambiguous meanings, breaking the tense and depressing atmosphere in the hall.

He looked at Catwoman with great interest, his eyes full of inquiry. "Interesting! You are the most loyal subject I have ever met besides the Lizard King. But the Lizard King originally had something to ask of me. What about you? Why are you so loyal?"

Catwoman's face was covered with tears, and her voice was trembling with shyness as she whispered, "I... have been completely conquered by you, sir. I... I just want to stay by your side forever."

She raised her head slightly, her eyes full of admiration and attachment, as if Ye Wutan was her only support in this life.
