Chapter 2510: Demon Clan 42
Editor: Henyee Translations
The flower fields lay beyond the central city, distinct from the residence of the Demon Clan’s Clan Leader.
Within the central city resided solely the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan.
The flower fields, however, were situated where the demonic qi of the Demon Clan was most potent. It was an environment where this demonic qi fostered the growth of unique flowers that could aid in cultivation.
Historically, access to this place was restricted to the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan alone.
As time pa.s.sed, and the Clan Leader obtained a cultivation Dharma artifact, rendering the need for these flowers obsolete, they began to bloom more freely. Members of the Demon Clan who had achieved a certain stage in their cultivation could now enter and gather Demon Flowers.
Consequently, the influx of people increased.
Given the significant status of the Demon Clan’s Dao Child, they were ent.i.tled to enter the flower field and collect Devil Flowers.
However, the cultivation benefits of the Demon Clan’s Dao Child were somewhat limited.
Ultimately, this fact brought joy to Gu Chaoyan.
The Clan Leader’s visits to the flower field were customary.
Glancing at the pet.i.te flower field, Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but feel elated.
The Demon Clan Flowers within this field were extraordinary treasures, boasting spiritual qi far more abundant than the herbs in her possession.
The absorption of the spiritual qi from these Demon Clan Flowers promised a significant boost in her cultivation.
Contemplating her choices, she sought out Demon Clan flowers exuding the most demonic aura.
Her intention was to take them back for experimentation.
She gazed at the array of flowers for an extended period.
Finally, something caught her eye.
It was the largest one, with an oddly captivating allure.
Deciding on her choice, Gu Chaoyan approached to pick it herself.
As she extended her hand to pluck it, a commanding voice intervened, “Stop. Who do you think you are? How dare you pluck this flower? I’ve taken a fancy to it.”
Without resorting to force, Gu Chaoyan refrained from picking the flower immediately.
The delicate process of plucking Demon Clan flowers demanded care. Disrupting the tranquility of the surroundings would only mar the beauty of the act. It seemed more prudent to postpone the plucking.
Curious to see who dared to halt her, the esteemed matriarch of the Demon Clan, in the ancient city of the Demon Clan, Gu Chaoyan rose and scrutinized the individual.
To her surprise, the face was familiar.
Pei Yueling?
Why was she here? And more puzzlingly, why was she obstructing Gu Chaoyan from picking flowers?
Could it be that Pei Yueling held an extraordinary status in the second world, surpa.s.sing even Gu Chaoyan, the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan?
“Oh, it’s you. I was wondering who would be so impetuous as to casually pluck the flowers that I like. It wouldn’t be surprising if it were you,” Pei Yueling remarked condescendingly.
“You never know your place, and you never know when to step back,” Pei Yueling continued, casting a disdainful gaze upon Gu Chaoyan as if she were observing an insignificant ant.
The recognition of this person struck a chord with Gu Chaoyan.
Her cultivation prowess was rather unimpressive.
Pei Yueling couldn’t help but notice that what truly stood out about Gu Chaoyan was her striking appearance, which she found to be even more attention-grabbing than her own. This fact irked Pei Yueling.
Despite her lingering dissatisfaction over a past failure, Pei Yueling remained unfazed. As long as Gu Chaoyan’s status didn’t surpa.s.s hers, there was no urgency to see someone meet their demise.
Clad in the robe of the Demon Clan, she presented herself as a member of the clan.
However, she was well aware of the hierarchical structure within the Demon Clan.
Those who visited the flower field to enhance their cultivation were considered ordinary ent.i.ties within the Demon Clan. Individuals of substantial significance within the clan no longer relied on such means for cultivation.
Given Gu Chaoyan’s perceived ordinariness, Pei Yueling felt justified in a.s.serting her dominance.
Her intent was not only to humiliate but also to exact a price from Gu Chaoyan.
