Chapter 506: Chapter 506: Humans and Demons Together is True Love (4th Update)
This Master Wu’s face was full of grievance, “Third Princess, you are a demon with a long lifespan! I am but a man with a mere century of life, so why don’t you consider my deep adoration for you and accompany me through these hundred years?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd below burst into uproar.
“Shameless!”
“Utterly despicable!”
“How dare he ask someone to waste her prime years accompanying him, how thick can his face be?”
The most furious among them was Shen Langjun, who could be seen raising his arm and shouting vociferously.
“Wu, you are harboring wolfish ambitions, if you’re capable, win the Third Princess over with true feelings! What skill is there in pretending to be pitiful?”
It was clear to see.
This Shen Langjun and Master Wu must be love rivals.
Master Wu glanced at him with disdain and then continued to gaze passionately at the Third Princess.
“This… is not impossible!” the Third Princess mused for a while before saying.
Master Wu was overjoyed.
“Third Princess, as long as you agree, that’s wonderful, why wait for another day, how about we consummate our marriage tonight?”
His urgency was plain to see in his words.
Shen Langjun stared blankly, hardly able to believe his ears.
The Third Princess actually agreed?
No!
This can’t be happening!
If only I’d known that feigning pity to gain sympathy worked, I would’ve done it myself long ago!
Shen Langjun was internally struggling with regret.
Then he saw the Third Princess on the city wall sigh softly, “But you’ll have to wait until I grow up before you marry me! My mother said I am still too young for marriage, and it would be considered too early.”
Master Wu’s smile froze, and then he cautiously inquired, “Then… how long would that be?”
“Hmm… not too long, at most just seventy or eighty years, if it’s quick, fifty years should suffice!”
The crowd erupted into roaring laughter, realizing that the Third Princess was deliberately making fun of Master Wu.
Shen Langjun also couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief, joyously proclaiming, “Well done, Third Princess!”
He was so excited that when he turned and saw Xue An standing beside him, he couldn’t help but excitedly slap Xue An on the shoulder.
“Brother, did you see that? This Third Princess is to be my future wife. How about that, clever isn’t she?”
Xue An turned his head and gave him an indifferent glance.
Shen Langjun felt his body stiffen, and his hand that was on Xue An’s shoulder involuntarily retracted in a defeated manner.
“You’re human, she’s a demon, can humans and demons be together?” Xue An said indifferently.
Shen Langjun looked at Xue An as if he was looking at an antique, “Brother, you’re walking around with two beautiful female demons, and now you’re asking me if humans and demons can be together? Aren’t you a bit too old-fashioned!”
“In the current city, even the most conservative old scholars must admit that marrying a female demon is the most prestigious affair!”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“Don’t you know that last year, a scholarly youth staying in a broken temple in the city had a delicate female demon visit him in the quiet of the night, and they became the protagonists of a romantic story envied by many? Now that broken temple has even turned into a ‘Scholarly Youth Inn’!”
“These days, it’s not unusual for humans to be with humans, but humans and demons together, that’s true love!” Shen Langjun gave a long-winded dissertation, then concluded with an incisive summary.
Xue An was almost torn between laughter and tears.
The people in Decisive Nose City must all be out of their minds.
Otherwise, how could they come up with so many absurd principles?
Just then, Master Wu on the city wall, furious and embarrassed, suddenly pulled out a yellow Talisman Spell from his bosom.
“Little miss, today, whether you agree or not, you will consent!”
As he spoke, he threw it directly.
The Talisman Spell unfurled in the wind, instantly transforming into a huge yellow cloth bag that hurtled toward the Third Princess.
The crowd let out a cry of alarm.
“It’s a Demon Subduing Charm!”
Shen Langjun also witnessed this scene and, screaming in terror, attempted to rush forward to save the Third Princess.
But how could his speed possibly outmatch the Talisman Spell?
So all he could do was watch, powerless, as the Talisman Spell hurdled toward the clueless Third Princess.
Xiao Sha bellowed furiously, “Shameless scoundrel!”
As he spoke, he had already rushed atop the city wall, positioning himself right in front of the Third Princess.
Boom.
The Demon Subduing Charm struck Xiao Sha squarely.
Many closed their eyes, lamenting internally.
It’s over! This demoness is definitely done for, probably about to be overwhelmed by the Talisman Spell and then become that Wu surname’s plaything.
But just then, they heard Xiao Sha’s arrogant laugh, “Is that the extent of its power? Now it’s my turn!”
With that, he lunged forward.
A punch flew out, landing squarely on Young Master Wu’s face.
Young Master Wu screamed miserably, blasted straight off the city wall.
Many stood there, dumbstruck by the scene.
Several rabbit spirits even forgot the grass they were chewing, mouths agape as they watched.
“Who is this demoness? How is she so formidable?”
“It’s hard to tell, but not even the Demon Subduing Charm could sway her; could she be a lieutenant of some demon marshal?”
Humans and demons were abuzz with speculation.
Xiao Sha was about to charge down the city wall to finish off Young Master Wu.
But the Third Princess blocked Xiao Sha’s way, her eyes shining brightly at her.
“Sister, you’re amazing!”
“Of course!” Xiao Sha smiled smugly, but this delay allowed Young Master Wu to slip into the crowd and disappear from view.
“Darn, let him get away!” Xiao Sha was annoyed.
The Third Princess smiled faintly, “Let him go! After all, he once pursued me, and although I don’t fancy him, I can’t bear to see him die!”
“Hey, you’ve got to be kidding me. He was the one who attacked you first!”
“It’s still the same! Mother always said, ‘Spare someone when you can.'”
Xiao Sha rolled her eyes.
For someone like her who had grown up in the wilderness, she never believed in ‘sparing someone when you can.’
“Whatever, it’s your business anyway! Farewell!” Xiao Sha turned to leave.
“Don’t go, Sister. You’ve saved me, and you are my benefactor. I must properly thank you! Would you please come to the mansion with me for a chat?”
Xiao Sha was very impatient, but she saw Xue Anchong in the crowd nodding subtly at her.
She understood that Xue An was signaling her to agree, so she reluctantly did.
“Fine.”
When the crowd dispersed and Xue An was about to follow Xiao Sha into the City Lord’s Mansion,
Shen Langjun suddenly grabbed him, “Brother, could you make an exception and take me with you?”
“You want to go in too?”
“Yes! I’ve long harbored deep admiration for the Third Princess but never found the chance to get close. Could you help me?”
Shen Langjun took off the Jade Pendant from his waist and tried to hand it to Xue An.
Xue An smiled faintly, “Forget it. You’d better keep it. Otherwise, with your character, you’d probably have been beaten to death without it by now!”
Shen Langjun was taken aback, “You… you recognize this item?”
Xue An smiled lightly and turned to walk toward the City Lord’s Mansion.
Shen Langjun stood there, crestfallen.
Then he heard Xue An’s voice, “Aren’t you coming along?”
A broad grin spread across Shen Langjun’s face, and he hurriedly scampered after him.
