Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 187 - 187 183 Demon Suppression Pagoda_1

187: Chapter 183 Demon Suppression Pagoda_1 187: Chapter 183 Demon Suppression Pagoda_1 Lu Chuan’s expression stiffened, black lines climbing his face as he wondered what this girl was doing looking for him late at night.

With a sense of resignation, he walked towards the door and opened it.

Han Qingci was wearing only a loose white shirt that barely covered her thighs, with her long, fair legs exposed; it was unclear if she was wearing shorts underneath or nothing at all.

Her hair was damp, a faint fragrance emanated from her body, her cheeks were flushed, revealing a sense of purity laced with desire.

Upon seeing Lu Chuan open the door, she threw herself into his arms and said in a shy voice, “Brother Lu Chuan, Qingci…

Qingci will sleep with you tonight.”

Lu Chuan’s eyes widened as he felt the softness of the girl in his arms, his body tensing up.

“Qing…

Qingci, what are you doing?”

Han Qingci looked up at Lu Chuan, her voice soft, “If I sleep with Brother Lu Chuan, will Brother Lu Chuan like me then?”

Lu Chuan swallowed and gently pushed Han Qingci away, saying awkwardly, “Qingci, there’s no need for you to do this…”

Han Qingci’s eyes immediately reddened, and she looked at Lu Chuan with an injured expression, “Does Brother Lu Chuan really dislike me that much?

If I can’t have Brother Lu Chuan’s love, then I…

I might as well be dead!”

Having said that, Han Qingci actually tried to throw herself against the door frame.

Lu Chuan was shocked, quickly pulling her back, “I didn’t say I dislike you, don’t be so extreme.”

Han Qingci’s voice was filled with grievance, “Then why won’t Brother Lu Chuan sleep with me?”

Lu Chuan sighed and said, “Even if we were boyfriend and girlfriend, relationships don’t progress this fast.”

Han Qingci pouted, “I don’t care, if Brother Lu Chuan won’t let me sleep here, then I don’t want to live.”

Lu Chuan felt a headache coming on and after a moment’s thought he said, “Alright, but you can only sleep in my room, you can’t do anything else, or else I’ll have to ask you to leave.”

Han Qingci’s face immediately brightened, “Mhmm!”

Lu Chuan let Han Qingci into the room.

From a nearby hiding spot, Zhou Yun watched the scene unfold, a satisfied smile creeping onto her face, “It seems Qingci has truly fallen for this lad.

This is good.

As long as my daughter can get over her fondness for women, it’s fine even if this young man takes some small advantage.

Who knows, maybe I’ll get to hold a grandchild sooner rather than later.”

Thinking this, she was no longer worried and turned to leave the area.

Inside the room.

Lu Chuan looked at Han Qingci and said, “Qingci, you lie down on the bed first.”

Han Qingci’s cheeks were glowing, and obediently, she nodded and lay down on the bed.

Lu Chuan walked over to the bed and gently caressed Han Qingci’s face with his hand.

Han Qingci felt a mix of excitement and nervousness, and shyly looked at Lu Chuan, saying, “Brother Lu Chuan, didn’t you say we couldn’t do anything else…?”

Lu Chuan smiled faintly and replied, “That’s right, so just have a good sleep.”

After finishing speaking, he released a surge of power.

Han Qingci had not yet figured out what was going on when a wave of sleepiness hit her, and she fell asleep.

Lu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Han Qingci’s long legs, and chastised himself internally for his thoughts.

He quickly covered her with a blanket afterward.

“Fuxiang really set a trap.

The Peach Blossom Brew she gave me must not be for making women fall for men, but rather for making women fall for the first man they see.

No wonder she refused to drink it when I offered.”

He recalled Han Qingci’s reaction after drinking the Peach Blossom Brew and was certain that it was after seeing him that she experienced some unique change and kept proclaiming her affection for him.

If another man had been present at the time, Han Qingci would surely have fallen irrevocably in love with that man as well.

Lu Chuan shuddered at the thought that Zhou Yun had also wanted to have a sip earlier.

Fortunately, Han Qingci had snatched the Peach Blossom Brew and drank it all; otherwise, Lu Chuan would probably be pursued and hunted down by Han Chunsheng and all the experts of the Han family by now.

“It seems I need to find a way to remove the effects of the Peach Blossom Brew from Qingci’s body, otherwise, it will only bring her harm,” he thought.

Confirming that Han Qingci was asleep, Lu Chuan sat cross-legged on a chair, gazing inward at his Dantian, and began to observe the Linglong Pagoda.

He attempted to establish a connection with the Linglong Pagoda.

Soon, the pagoda responded, radiating beams of light as a wealth of information flooded into Lu Chuan’s mind.

Lu Chuan carefully examined this information, his eyes gradually widening, his heart already shocked beyond measure.

It turned out that this Linglong Pagoda was known as the Demon Suppression Pagoda, a Divine Artifact crafted by an ancient almighty power.

The Demon Suppression Pagoda had nine levels, each suppressing an ancient great demon whose powers were monstrous; even the weakest among them had reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

As a Divine Artifact, the Demon Suppression Pagoda innately possessed an absolute Suppressing effect on the Demon Tribe; any demoness entering its domain would have their strength greatly diminished.

Moreover, the pagoda could absorb a demoness’s demonic power and use it for its own augmentation.

That day, it was Fuxiang’s demonic power that activated the Demon Suppression Pagoda, which started operating on its own, absorbed some of Fuxiang’s demonic power, and sealed her strength.

This allowed Lu Chuan to capture her.

The reason the Demon Suppression Pagoda ended up in Lu Chuan’s Dantian was because that day he had dripped a drop of blood on the wooden token, which counted as acknowledgement by the artifact.

However, there was no response at the time because the pagoda was not stimulated.

It wasn’t until it operated with the aid of Fuxiang’s demonic power that a connection was made with Lu Chuan.

“This Demon Suppression Pagoda is actually a Divine Artifact.

What kind of incredible luck have I stumbled upon?”

Lu Chuan remained in shock, struggling to regain his composure.

One must know that Divine Artifacts are the most precious treasures in the Cultivation World, incredibly rare.

Any one of them could cause a catastrophic disaster if brought out into the open.

In comparison to Divine Artifacts, a Sword Nourishing Gourd is simply rubbish that nobody in a garbage heap would want.

Of course, while Divine Artifacts are powerful, they are even more difficult to control.

Lu Chuan, who couldn’t even fully control the Sword Nourishing Gourd, naturally couldn’t manage the power of the Demon Suppression Pagoda either.

However, even if he could use one percent of the Demon Suppression Pagoda’s power, he would be invincible at the Foundation Establishment Stage or even the Golden Core Stage.

“I knew the All Joy Sect possessed so many Profound Ice Stones; they must have discovered some unparalleled treasure.

Now it seems that those Profound Ice Stones appeared alongside the Demon Suppression Pagoda.”

“With the Demon Suppression Pagoda on my side, coupled with my inherited memories, there will surely be a place for me, Lu Chuan, among the top powerhouses of this world!”

Lu Chuan’s face lit up with excitement as he eagerly studied what kind of power he could now access through the Demon Suppression Pagoda.

Soon, his expression turned to one of complete disappointment.

He discovered that with his current level, at most he could invoke the domain of the Demon Suppression Pagoda to suppress the masters of the Demon Tribe, making those demon experts tremble with fear.

Apart from that, he couldn’t harness any other power of the Demon Suppression Pagoda.

To be precise, Lu Chuan was simply too weak now, not yet qualified to use the Demon Suppression Pagoda.

Forcing its use would result in backlash.

“This domain is only effective against the Demon Tribe.

It’s useless against martial artists, which means this Divine Artifact can’t help me at all for now.”

In today’s society, the Demon Tribe has become extremely rare, and even when present, they wouldn’t easily show themselves in the human world.

Lu Chuan’s face was full of helplessness; he had initially thought that with a Divine Artifact in hand, he could walk sideways on Earth hereafter.

“However, this is also good.

After all, improving strength requires steady and firm progress, and relying too much on external forces will only prevent me from advancing far on the path of cultivation.”

Soon, Lu Chuan accepted this reality.

Although the Demon Suppression Pagoda could only serve as an ornament for now, it could still intimidate Fuxiang if he ran into her again.

“Eh?

There’s a hidden space at the top of the Demon Suppression Pagoda, which seems like a storage space.”

Lu Chuan’s Divine Sense entered the space at the top of the Pagoda.

He had tried using his Divine Sense to enter the Pagoda, but from the first to the ninth floor, all his attempts were repelled.

He had thought that he wouldn’t be able to investigate the inside of the Demon Suppression Pagoda until his strength improved, but unexpectedly, there was this space at the top of the Pagoda.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chuan glanced at the table nearby, thought for a second, and the table disappeared into thin air.

Inside the space at the top of the Demon Suppression Pagoda, a table appeared—it was the very one from the room.

Lu Chuan’s face beamed with excitement, “It really is a storage space!

This is truly an unexpected joy!”

He usually had to carry many items of various sizes with him when going out, which was quite cumbersome, and it also affected his movements.

Now, with this storage space, he wouldn’t have to worry about this anymore.

The space at the top of the Demon Suppression Pagoda was not small—if Lu Chuan wished, he could even put his bed in there and take it out to sleep when needed.

A space Magic Artifact is the most practical type of Magic Artifact in the cultivation world.

Even though Lu Chuan couldn’t use the power of the Demon Suppression Pagoda right now, this additional storage space could clearly play a greater role at the current stage.

He crammed all the important things into the Demon Suppression Pagoda in one go.

Whenever he wanted to use them, with just a thought, he could take them out.

“Not bad at all.

Having such a gain this time is already enough for me.”

Lu Chuan didn’t think too much about it and settled down to enter a state of cultivation.

…

Xu family.

In the hall.

Xu Yuan exclaimed with surprise, “What did you say?

That Lu Chuan not only failed to become the female immortal’s slave, but even the female immortal herself has disappeared without a trace?”

The scout of the Xu family hurriedly nodded, “Indeed, there is no sign of the female immortal at the tea house, and our people found that Lu Chuan left the tea house unscathed, and he even went to the Han family.”

Xu Yuan’s eyebrows furrowed, “He actually went to the Han family!”

Xu Shaoming quickly interjected, “Dad, it seems that this female immortal is not reliable.

If Lu Chuan works for the Han family, it is us who will suffer.”

Xu Yuan contemplated with a grave expression and then nodded, “You are right.

If Lu Chuan works for the Han family, it will be a huge threat to us, so we must eliminate Lu Chuan!”

Xu Shaoming immediately said, “I will notify the Third Uncle right now.

He is a Level 5 expert of the Transcendent Realm, and he is more than capable of dealing with Lu Chuan.”

Xu Yuan waved his hand dismissively, “If Lu Chuan has truly allied with the Han family, our action would be tantamount to tearing our faces off with the Han family, so we cannot let the Xu family people kill him.”

After thinking for a moment, he continued, “You go to the Secret Kill House and post a task.

Find that very famous Venom Scorpion to kill Lu Chuan for us.

This way, if the Han family wants to blame, they can only blame the Secret Kill House.”

Xu Shaoming’s face revealed a sinister smile, “I understand.”

…

An abandoned factory.

A man with a sullen face and eyes like a venomous scorpion cornered a middle-aged man wearing a suit with three rings on his fingers.

“Someone paid me to kill you.

Be smart, don’t waste my time,” the sullen-faced man said.

The middle-aged man’s face was stricken with terror, “Please…

spare me.

I’m willing to pay double the price!”

The sullen-faced man scoffed and replied, “Sorry, there are rules in this business, and I haven’t drunk human blood in several days.

Today, you must die!”

After speaking, he gripped the middle-aged man’s throat and bit down.

In just a few seconds, the middle-aged man’s blood was sucked dry, leaving a husk behind.

The sullen-faced man tossed the middle-aged man aside, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and savored the taste, “Human blood really is delicious.

If it weren’t for my brother’s rules that I can only drink the blood of my targets, I would capture a bunch of humans and drink their blood one by one.”

This man was the number one killer of the Secret Kill House, Venom Scorpion.

He was from the Demon Tribe and, having developed an obsession with human blood, he hid in the human world under the guise of an assassin.

Now, his demonic power greatly enhanced by drinking human blood, he was equivalent to a Level 5 Martial Artist of the Transcendent Realm.

Because of his Demon Tribe lineage, he could sweep through those of the same level and even challenge those above him.

At that moment, Venom Scorpion’s phone rang.

He looked at it, a new task from his ‘big brother.’

“Lu Chuan?

A martial path genius?

I wonder if his blood tastes good.”
