Chapter 581: Chapter 234: Let Me Safeguard This Power for You

The simple and unpretentious view of love left Fan Wubing a bit troubled.

He quickly found a topic to ease the atmosphere that was about to ignite at any moment, "Man’Er, how about I read your palm? I’ve just learned this skill recently."

Fu Manman didn’t think much of it and smiled as she extended her hand, "Sure."

Holding Fu Manman’s slender palm, Fan Wubing felt uneasy. The delicate and warm touch heightened his inner turmoil, so he quickly calmed himself and activated the "Great Dead Fire Destiny Technique."

Life burned intensely.

Fan Wubing’s eyes were like torches, as he peeked into Fu Manman’s fate.

Then, he saw nothing but a blank space.

"Hmm?"

"What’s wrong?" Fu Manman’s eyes were alight with spring warmth.

Fan Wubing checked once more, but it was still blank.

Man’Er’s fate is blank?

A blank fate has two possibilities: one is that it’s been altered by someone, the other is... this person doesn’t exist at all.

All of Fan Wubing’s feelings of unrest vanished. He thought, the Ancestor Qing of White Jade Capital also has the ability to alter fates, and since Man’Er is the Little Freedom Official of White Jade Capital, there’s a possibility that Ancestor Qing helped her alter her fate. There’s also another possibility...

He remained calm and activated his own "My Path," masking all his knowledge concerning Fu Manman.

Soon after, the person beside him shed Fu Manman’s appearance and transformed into a blank doll.

Fan Wubing’s voice was cold and somber as he delivered a punch that pierced through the Charm Demon Lord’s body, "So it was you all along!"

The Charm Demon Lord shifted her form and visage, becoming a ravishing beauty. Annoyed, she said, "Did I offend the stars today or what! How come one after another, you’ve all seen through me!"

Thinking back to how captivated he was with this creature, Fan Wubing felt disgusted.

Even more disgusting was that the affection meant for Man’Er was wasted entirely on this demoness. He shivered with goosebumps all over and felt miserable, "You’ve really pissed me off!"

The Charm Demon Lord squinted with a certain enjoyment at Fan Wubing’s expression, saying with a playful smile, "Why so resistant? I transformed into the maiden you yearn for. It’s no different than... me becoming the you that your little maiden desires."

Fan Wubing’s pupils constricted, "You’ve made a move on her too!"

The Charm Demon Lord’s eyes curved seductively as she teased, "Such a fine maiden, who could resist? Unlike you, she wasn’t so resistant..." She thought even if she couldn’t lead the Blood Demon Lord into depravity, irritating him was quite entertaining, "She thought who she met was the real you. Guess what we did?"

From the shadows not far away,

Lv Liang watched in excitement. He was delighted that Fan Wubing had seen through the Charm Demon Lord’s filthy tricks!

Fan Wubing coldly eyed the Charm Demon Lord, "If she thought you were me, then you must have done nothing."

The Charm Demon Lord chuckled, "Are you sure? Do you want me to tell you? I have the images preserved in my head of your clear-hearted maiden’s seductive posture in bed. Want to see?"

Fan Wubing said coldly, "Whether it’s true or false, I’ll find out when I crack open your skull."

"Crack open my skull?" The Charm Demon Lord laughed, covering her face in mock modesty, "So you like that kind of play, huh? How bold."

Fan Wubing unsheathed his sword, unleashing a Sword Qi that froze the entire space, solidifying the energy, blocking the Path’s flow. At the same time, the "Great Burning Dead Fire Technique" activated, dead fire starting to burn on the Charm Demon Lord.

The Charm Demon Lord’s face changed, "You’re serious!"

Fan Wubing’s gaze was as sharp as a blade, "When you chose to provoke me, you should have considered that I’d kill you."

The life energy of the Charm Demon Lord rapidly disappeared, yet she showed no fear, "But, can you really kill me?"

Following that, her body turned to ashes.

Fan Wubing knew she wasn’t dead yet.

Enchanting Demon Dao is a resistance to perception, a destruction of the cognitive relational links between people. The Charm Demon Lord, master of the Enchanting Demon Dao, could easily transform into someone else within a person’s cognition. The so-called seduction into depravity was but a personal fetish of hers.

"I must kill her!"

Fan Wubing wasn’t angry because of the Charm Demon Lord’s provocation. He was very calm, convinced that she must be killed. Her existence was a huge threat. It would make him subconsciously doubt anyone he encountered, wondering if they were the transformed Charm Demon Lord. This is the horror of the Enchanting Demon Dao! It slowly erodes all a person’s cognitive relationships, driving one completely insane!

Fan Wubing resolved to find her, releasing his spirit to search, but not knowing who the Charm Demon Lord had transformed into, he gained nothing.

"Right, the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device! Just the time to test its accuracy on her."

Fan Wubing immediately activated the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device, searching for the Charm Demon Lord.

...

"Damned thing! Acting all high and mighty!"

The Chaotian Continent, as the most prosperous territory of the Southern Celestial Land, nurtured a dynasty called Dayong. A handsome and flamboyant man walked into the Royal Palace of the Dayong Dynasty, grumbling under his breath.

Going through the Imperial Garden of the palace, he went straight into the Golden Branch Palace—the residence of the Empress Dayong.

The graceful and noble Empress Dayong was holding a Divine Skill Copybook, studying it.

"What are you reading?" the handsome man asked.

The Empress Dayong, startled by his voice, exclaimed, "Oh dear, why have you suddenly come without notice! What if someone sees?"

Filled with irritation, the handsome man didn’t bother with words. With a few steps forward, he pinned the Empress to the desk; with a forceful twist of his hands, her elegant dress was torn apart.
