Genius Demon Empress - Chapter 27

Chapter 27 - Hateful People Must Have Pity

Translated by Luxican

The moon was already hanging high in the sky at this hour.

Yue Jing Hua heard a familiar voice.

It was Sha Man's voice, and she could also hear a man speaking.

Despite Sha Man's attitude, Yue Jing Hua had to admit that she was very talented in her profession. The Tamer and the Summoner were a bit similar, but she could only control the beasts raised by herself. The summoner could simply pick up a mysterious beast on the way.

The Thunder Python Sha Man had called that day was a fifth- rank beast, which was a very dangerous existence on the mainland. Being able to nurture and train such a mysterious beast, Sha Man was comparable to the Profound Jade Cultivators in the inner court.

Yue Jing Hua didn't understand, why the Sha Family would actually throw Sha Man, who was such an amazing talent, in the outer court .

Her outstanding senses combined with her spiritual power made Yue Jing Hua see the movements of the young couple clearly.

In the woods and grass, the young lovers nestled together. The woman was Sha Man. Her face was blushing and she spoke softly. She was the same as that sloppy man Yue Jing Hua had met not long ago...

Yue Jing Hua couldn't help but smile bitterly, turns out Sha Man went out at night just to meet her sweet heart.

And looking at the man's clothing he was actually an inner court student.

Observing young couples, Yue Jing Hua didn't have such a hobby.

Just about to sneak away, she heard Sha Man ask softly: "Brother Xi, didn't you say that you would join the competition, doesn't that mean we won't be able to meet for a while? Why did you call me out so hurriedly tonight," on Sha Man's shy and bright face appeared a squeamish expression.

"Sha Man," from the perspective of Yue Jing Hua, Sha Man's lover looked handsome, but there was a little aloofness in his eyebrows, he somehow felt odd. "I asked you out tonight, because I wanted to ask you, if you could get some techniques from the practice hall."

Sha Man, immersed in the arms of her lover, shook her head, and her eyes flashed with a haze. She smiled bitterly and raised her head. "It's forbidden, only the outer court students are allowed to enter."

The man tried to convince her: "Sha Man, don't misunderstand, if you get some techniques, you could enter the inner court and obtain a metaphysical skill that would raise your cultivation to Profound Jade Realm."

" The competition in the inner court is really thrilling, but unfortunately outer court hasn't signed up for a long time now. It would be such a great spectacle," Sha Man's eyes flashed as she heard that, her passion quickly overshadowed her other feeling.

"Well this time the competition was separated into single and pair fights. If I win any of them, I hope you will give me a reward, my sweet-heart," Liu Xi caressed Sha Man's delicate cheeks, there was a little obsession in his eyes.

Liu Xi had worked very hard, and his Profound Qi Practice had improved.

"Single and pair fights? Brother Xi have you already found a partner for the pair fights?" Sha Man said with a little expectation.

"The partner for the pair fights, Sha Man, this is the reason why I found you tonight. Sha Lou came to me and wanted to invite me to pair up with her."

"Liu Xi, you know that I hate that Sha mother and daughter pair the most, if it weren't for them, neither my mother nor me would have suffered as much. I can participate with you, I have successfully nurtured a fifth-rank mysterious beast." Sha Man's body moved slightly and she sat up. Looking directly at Liu Xi.

She had been immersed in training for several years and has been hiding her skills. Tonight, she could finally tell him that she wasn't useless . Her skills could help him win the competition.

"Sha Man, how could I form a pair with you, without mentioning your Profound Qi cultivation, you are a member of the outer court, I will surely become a laughingstock, if I formed a team with an outer court student." Yes, for Liu Xi his image was the most important.

"Laughingstock? Liu Xi, when you were pursuing me, why didn't you consider that I'm a student of the outer court? You had long known that fact, but you only pursued me because I was a member of the Sha Family, later you found that I wasn't respected by the Sha Family and now that Sha Lou has entered school again, you just start pursuing her?"

"What are you talking about, that's not what I meant," Liu Xi hurriedly said. He was of ordinary background, and was recommended by the local Academy to enter the inner court of the Profound Pearl Imperial Academy thanks to his talent.

When he first heard that Sha Man was the young lady of the Sha Family, he was overjoyed and did everything to pursue her, but later he learned that Sha Man had no backing in the Sha Family.

But he had still some hope in his heart, and because of Sha Man's outstanding appearance, he maintained their relationship. Until this year, Sha Lou appeared.

There was a burst of Profound Qi in the woods, followed by the sound of several footsteps.

"Sha Man, you dare to shamelessly seduce a student from the inner court?!" Three or four female students of the inner court came out, led by one person, with a mean expression on her face, " Truly the daughter of a servant, she would do such a thing as to seduce a man."

After seeing Sha Lou and the other students of the inner court, Sha Man was alert and looked at Liu Xi. The other party hesitated only a moment, before he stood among the few inner court students.

"Sha Lou, don't insult my mother," Sha Man hesitated, she didn't know if she should call for the python, if it came it would surely be killed in the fight.

Sha Lou didn't answer but smiled, and Sha Man saw that she had a bottle in her hand, Sha Lou shook the bottle: "Sha Man, do you know what's inside? Let me tell you, it's Promised Spring's snake powder, and it's used to remediate some dirty things, like snakes, worms and other insects."

"You!" Sha Man had already guessed what was inside the bottle. Her face was pale as a ghost's, as she shouted.

Not waiting for Sha Man to run away, several inner court students who came with Sha Lou pressed Sha Man to the ground.

Their cultivation was higher than Sha Man's, and there were quite a few of them. Sha Man couldn't resist.

Sha Man stepped forward and poured all the white powered from the bottle onto Sha Man's face.

"Don't. Liu Xi, save me quickly," Sha Man trembled. When she saw Liu Xi's evasive look, only despair remained in her eyes.

As the powder was spilled on Sha Man, Sha Man's pretty face gradually changed.

Scale-like protrusions grew rapidly, from her face to her neck, and then, to the hands and feet. Sha Man was lying on the ground like a lizard. Her whole body was covered in thick and hard scales.

Liu Xi was startled, while watching Sha Man gradually turn into a monster.

"Liu Xi, watch closely, this is her true face, an ugly little bitch. What are you still hesitating to form a team with me for?" Sha Lou laughed with satisfaction, along with the other inner court students.

Under Sha Man's heart-wrenching screams a shrieking whistle sounded.

The Thunder Python, Razer, looked like a moving hill, his head raised high.

When they saw Razer, the students of the inner court were terrified. Sha Man was like a goddess of revenge. Her eyes were cold and her face was covered with scales, only hate remained, "Kill her."

Yue Jing Hua, who had witnessed all this, was also in shock at this time.

Liu Xi fled the fern forest in fright, but Qui Zi Zi rushed to block Sha Man.

"Don't stop me, I'm going to avenge my mother and myself," Sha Man said.

"Sha Man, do you want the inner court to have the opportunity to come straight to our door?" Qui Zi Zi glared at the few inner court students who had been scared witless. "Go away, don't secretly plan to go into the practice hall, just come to the outer court to find me."

The few students of the inner court took this opportunity to escape.

Exhausted, Sha Man fainted.

When the calm had returned to the forest, Qui Zi Zi turned around and glanced at the place where Yue Jing Hua was hiding: "Was it good to watch the show?"

She heard the dissatisfaction between his words. Yue Jing Hua touched her nose in embarrassment and came out.

"Why didn't you help her? Just now her only hope of survival was destroyed by these people," Sha Man was unruly by nature, but she was also a student of the outer court, usually he was very tolerant, sure, he was angry at the trespassing inner court students, but Yue Jing Hua standing at the side and not helping a fellow student was an entirely other matter.

"Help her? Dean, you forgot that I'm also a student of the outer court," Yue Jing Hua shrugged, her words reminding the dean, she was also a waste.

"Ha! Little girl, don't pretend inn front of me, do you think I'm blind? What's that thing around your finger? That thing is enough to touch the necks of the inner court students and frightening them. Sha Man hid her suspicions from her lover Liu Xi, why are you hiding your power?" Qui Zi Zi had great perception.

"The dean doesn't have the right to interfere. I'm a student of the outer court, not a dog in the outer court. When it comes to saving people, I ask why didn't the dean act?" Yue Jing Hua blinked.

"I didn't act, because..." The dean coughed and didn't know how to explain it for a while. In fact, he had also been hiding for a long time.

"You didn't do it, because you wanted Sha Man to wake up. You knew that Liu Xi wasn't good, but you still let Sha Man meet with him in secret. You knew that Sha Lou would hurt Sha Man with the thing she was most afraid of. You didn't act, because you wanted Sha Man to completely let go of her relationship. Dean, Sha Man and I have known each other for a few days now, she had even tried to put me to death several times, I owe her nothing, so I'm not obliged to help. I didn't do it, because I didn't like you guys, I just want to survive I the Profound Pearl Imperial Academy for a long time," Yue Jing Hua said, her words echoing in the forest.

Qui Zi Zi's complexion shifted from the initial agitation to surprise and then shock. He stared at Yue Jing Hua as if he saw her for the first time.

Yue Jing Hua's words seemed cold-hearted, but they were justified.

She had no obligation to help Sha Man.

"If the dean has no objections to my words, I will return first," Yue Jing Hua turned around, and walked back to her house.

"Wait a minute, just listen to the story of Sha Man's life, and understand why the only people she can count on to protect her, are these cold reptiles." Qui Zi Zi began talking about Sha Man's life.

Sha Man's mother was a maidservant of the Sha Family. Sha Lou's father married her because of her beauty and she became a concubine, favored by Sha Lou's father.

This love brought endless harm to Sha Man.

In the year when Sha Man's mother was pregnant, while Sha Lou's father was away, Sha Lou's mother forced her to give birth in a Hundred Bugs Pit, she had to fight for her life to protect Sha Man.

By the time Sha Man's mother had been found by Sha Man's father, she was dead.

Little Sha Man, with her mother already dead, escaped death, but was caught in the rare poison of the insects.

This poison made her unafraid of all kinds of poisons, but if given a little insect repellent powder, she would grow ugly scales all over her body.

After that incident, Sha Man's father was forced to get rid of Sha Lou's mother. For this reason, her father had always been at odds with Sha Man since childhood, and her character had become very indifferent.

After she entered Profound Pearl Imperial Academy, Lui Xi's appearance made Sha Man regain her smile. In order to match Liu Xi's inner court student identity, Sha Man worked hard to cultivate herself and Razer.

After Qui Zi Zi finished speaking, he wiped the corner of his eyes very dramatically and sucked in a loud sniff. It was only tears, with such an effect, he could not impress Yue Jing Hua.

Sha Man's eyelashes quivered suspiciously.

"Old fox, I'm afraid that everything that happened was all designed by you," Yue Jing Hua thought and looked at the dean, after seeing him wipe the corners of his eyes, she didn't know if she should be crying or laughing.

Qui Zi Zi's description was not so much for Yue Jing Hua as to remind Sha Man to remember her mother.

Yue Jing Hua had a hunch that a storm was brewing. Her hunch would soon be confirmed in a few days.
