Chapter 2382: You Are Shameless

"Yu Men Beiqing!" A beautiful woman in unique attire came to Zu'an's mind. He had seen her ethereal image in the sealed land before, where she had made a cryptic remark.

Zu'an had always felt that her expression suggested she knew him, but due to the constraints of time and space, she couldn't reveal the truth.

Now, it seemed, was it possible they only became acquainted because he had traveled to this ancient era?

Mogade couldn't help but remark, "That Yu Men Beiqing is indeed an extraordinary woman. When the Demon Emperor was slain, this world's resistance had completely collapsed. Yet, from seemingly nowhere, Yu Men Beiqing appeared. She miraculously rallied the scattered armies, gradually establishing a stronghold, and even inflicted several major defeats upon the Demon Lord's forces. Everyone in this world seems to call her the Saintess!"

Hearing this, Pei Mianman was filled with admiration. "Such a person is like a gift from heaven, truly deserving of the title Saintess!"

Jiang Luofu added, "I recall some ancient, surviving texts mentioning Yu Men Beiqing. Even my teacher greatly admired her. However, the records about her are fragmented, making it difficult to reconstruct her specific deeds from that era."

Solunshi chimed in, "I've also heard stories of Yu Men Beiqing passed down in my clan. She's a renowned heroine throughout the entire demon race, and many demon women emulate her from a young age. However, the stories among our people only recount her leading various races to repel the outer demons. What happened after that repulsion, though, hasn't been passed down at all, as if she simply vanished from later history."

Salame sneered, "This woman was probably killed by my father. Naturally, no stories of her circulated afterward."

Hearing them praise an enemy of the demon world so highly, she felt quite annoyed.

The other women rolled their eyes, dismissing her as simply being in a fit of pique and not bothering to respond.

Zu'an continued to question Mogade, "Do you know Yu Men Beiqing's current whereabouts? And the operational range of the Demon Lord's army?"

Mogade shook his head slightly. "Yu Men Beiqing is currently the leader of the resistance. Her whereabouts are extremely mysterious; if I knew, the demon army would have annihilated her long ago."

"However, I should know the approximate location of the Demon Lord and his army."

As he spoke, he drew a simple map on the ground, roughly marking the Demon Lord's and his army's territories.

Zu'an asked a few more questions, which Mogade answered one by one.

This made Salame a bit impatient. "Are you finished? Uncle Mo has answered so many of your questions. It's time to let us go, as per our agreement."

Even Mogade became secretly tense. He had answered everything without reservation precisely because he feared Zu'an would go back on his word.

Zu'an nodded. "Alright, you may go."

Salame breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Pei Mianman and the others, then snorted, and turned to walk gracefully into the distance.

Inwardly, she secretly scoffed. This Zu'an fellow was powerful, but far too foolish to actually let her go.

Once I find my father, I'll definitely have him kill Zu'an. In this world, primordial power is abundant, so my father's strength won't be limited at all. Naturally, he won't suffer such a humiliating defeat like the Demon Lord.

...No, wait. This boy is quite handsome. First, I'll have my father cripple his cultivation and give him to me as a slave.

Then, I'll make him experience a hundredfold the torment he put me through these past few days.

And those wretches who previously flaunted their beauty and Zu'an's favor. I'll throw them into the military camp for the soldiers to amuse themselves with for a few days; then they'll truly understand the consequences of offending me!

A smile unconsciously curved on her lips as she imagined the women weeping uncontrollably.

Just then, her vision blurred as Zu'an appeared, blocking her and Mogade.

Salame's expression changed. "What, are you going back on your word? With your status, breaking an oath carelessly could lead to a backlash from the Heavenly Dao!"

"I just honored my promise and released you," Zu'an said, smiling at her. "Now I'm simply recapturing you. Who told you not to escape far enough?"

Salame: "???"

Mogade: "???"

The two demons, finally grasping the situation, nearly spat blood. "Zu, you're shameless!"

[Anger from Salame: +745745745...]

[Anger from Mogade: +745745745...]

Zu'an's expression remained calm. "To deal with shameless individuals, one naturally needs to employ some tactics."

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already once again restrained the two demons' pressure points.

Both fell to the ground, their eyes wide with indignation.

The women gathered around. Pei Mianman couldn't help but chuckle, "I was genuinely worried you'd be too soft-hearted and actually let the tiger back into the mountains."

Zu'an retorted impatiently, "Am I someone who can't tell what's important?"

In this era, the demon army held an absolute advantage. If Salame and Mogade were allowed to return to the Lord of Slaughter, the consequences would be endless. He wouldn't take such a massive risk.

"You can certainly distinguish when dealing with men, but when it comes to beautiful women..." Pei Mianman left the sentence unfinished, but her meaning was clear.

The other women nodded in agreement, clearly sharing the same opinion.

Zu'an: "..."

He cleared his throat and turned to face the demon elders.

The demon elders recoiled from his gaze, intimidated. This man was not only unfathomably strong but also so cunning and shameless. Who exactly was the demon here?

"You all will stay for now." Zu'an hadn't yet decided how to deal with them. The Historian of Time had mentioned they had a destiny with this world, so perhaps they might truly be useful later.

Hearing that he wouldn't kill them, the true demon elders actually felt a touch of gratitude. At least they weren't as miserable as Salame.

Zu'an then turned back to the women and said, "Next, I'm going to the Sea Clan to see if I can find any news of the Aurora Poison Dragon."

In fact, as soon as he arrived in this world, he discovered that he had lost connection with the world's Law Beacon.

This was actually within his expectations. After all, he possessed the Law Beacon from a later era, not the one from this current period.

The cultivation world of this era was immeasurably stronger than in later generations, so he naturally couldn't control this world with that weaker Law Beacon from the future.

However, he didn't show any of this, precisely because he worried that the Historian of Time, Salame, and others would harbor more treacherous thoughts if they knew.

Now was a good time to visit the Sea Clan. He could search for the Aurora Poison Dragon and also check if the Law Beacon was still there.

Jiang Luofu said, "Then we'll split up. I'll inquire about the whereabouts of the Glazed Hairpin Flower and see if I can find it."

Zu'an was initially somewhat worried, but then he remembered what they had said earlier: they were not anyone's subordinates. They were inherently the most outstanding women in the world and did not need to hide under his wing.

"That's good; it will save us more time."

Yun Yuqing then spoke, "I'll go with Luofu so we can look out for each other."

Jiang Luofu was touched. "Thank you!"

When she searched for the Glazed Hairpin Flower, she would definitely need Ji Xiaoxi, who was familiar with medicinal properties, to accompany her. She was genuinely worried about not being able to properly care for Xiaoxi alone, so Yun Yuqing's help provided even greater reassurance.

Yun Yuqing smiled. "Why be formal between us now?"

Although she also wanted to accompany Zu'an, her relationship with Jiang Luofu was the closest, so she naturally wouldn't feel comfortable letting her travel alone.

Pei Mianman thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll try to find the whereabouts of the resistance forces in this world. It would be best if I could contact Yu Men Beiqing."

She actually wanted to accompany Zu'an, but with the other women focused on serious matters, how could she just pursue romance?

Solunshi thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll stay here and guard these demons."

These demons couldn't be left unattended; someone definitely needed to guard them. After considering it, she concluded she was the most suitable person.

Zu'an hadn't expected that in the blink of an eye, the women had all assigned their tasks so logically. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, realizing they truly were the most exceptional women in the world.
