Why Are All the Fairies Trying To Make Me Fall

Chapter 20

“…They are in the northwest part of the Demon Beast Forest, thirty miles from the heartland.”

Jiang Moqing paused for a moment before continuing, “Those Nascent Soul stage great demons shouldn’t be here. There must be something unusual. I wanted to report to Master, but she hasn’t responded.”

“Okay, thank you, Senior Sister.”

Lin Que respectfully cupped his fists in salute and turned to leave.

Watching his back, Jiang Moqing frowned slightly, reaching out as if wanting to say something, but in the end, she didn’t speak.

…

On the way back, the little demon sat on Lin Que’s shoulder, her cheeks slightly puffed as if tasting some rare delicacy. She held her face, unable to hide the smile in her eyes.

“Oh my, this is so interesting~”

She patted her flat stomach, saying contentedly, “It’s really good to follow you. Although we starve eight times in three days, every bite is a rare delicacy.”

“Is the task considered complete?” Lin Que asked.

“Of course.”

The little demon nodded, “Are you planning to check out the Demon Beast Forest?”

“Yes.”

“It’s very dangerous there now. Don’t you plan to act more cautiously?”

The little demon raised an eyebrow. Although it sounded like she was advising Lin Que, her expression was completely one of watching the excitement, even as if she was deliberately fanning the flames.

“It’s just killing a few beasts, nothing to worry about.”

Lin Que knew that the appearance of Nascent Soul stage demon beasts in the outskirts of the forest, where they shouldn’t be, was problematic.

Those great demons usually lived in the heartland of the forest. It was impossible to see them in the outskirts, especially since each Nascent Soul stage great demon had its own territory. Why would they suddenly act together?

When something unusual happens, there must be a demon involved. There must have been some kind of disturbance in the demon beast forest.

Moreover, Qin Wanyuan also encountered danger in the demon beast forest this time, which might be related to the upcoming crisis.

For whatever reason, Lin Que felt that he should go there and take a look.

“As expected of a sword cultivator, you speak with such arrogance.”

The little demon had no intention of stopping him, “Since you have decided to go to the demon beast forest, I’ll give you a timed mission. Go to the heart of the demon beast forest and bring out the source of the disturbance. As for the reward, I’ll give you the next part of the incomplete scroll.”

She acted quite casually, doing whatever she wanted based on her mood.

“Do you know what caused the disturbance?” Lin Que asked.

“I don’t know, that’s why I’m very curious.”

The little demon shrugged, her tone very matter-of-fact, “I’m just a demon, not omniscient.”

She looked in the direction of the demon beast forest, her gaze distant, “However, the aura over there does concern me.”

The conversation ended there, and the little demon disappeared again.

She always came and went silently, and Lin Que was not surprised. He just soared into the sky on his sword, forming a sword seal with his hand, and increased his speed to the limit.

The sword light flickered, and Lin Que was like a dazzling white meteor, cutting through the silent night sky, slicing through the dense clouds along the way, revealing a crescent moon in the sky.

In an instant, he covered dozens of miles.

Suspended above the northwest part of the demon beast forest, Lin Que looked down from above.

The forest at night should have been shrouded in mist, with an atmosphere of eerie danger in the tranquility. However, this time, he deliberately did not use the wind-avoidance technique.

So the gale brought by his high-speed movement instantly swept through the large forest, rudely dispersing the forest mist, startling birds and beasts, revealing its true appearance.

Such a high-profile entrance was undoubtedly a provocation to the great demons lurking in the forest.

Soon,

Three huge figures surrounded Lin Que. Without exception, they were all beast-shaped, resembling lions and tigers from Lin Que’s previous life, but with purple fur, strange horns on their heads, and much larger in size.

These were demon beasts.

“Another… human.”

One of the purple-furred fierce lions spoke in human language, staring at Lin Que with a fierce gaze, exuding a faint sense of oppression.

“Humans… troublesome, kill one and another comes, very vengeful.” Another tiger-like demon beast growled.

Their words seemed to be deliberately spoken for Lin Que to hear, as if to buy time.

“Why are you here?”

The purple-furred fierce lion that spoke first asked Lin Que.

“As you said, I’m here for revenge.”

Lin Que said calmly, “You’re right, I do hold grudges. You hurt them, so I want your lives.”

“Is it worth it to die for two females?” The purple-furred fierce lion asked.

It could sense that Lin Que’s cultivation was only at the peak of the Golden Core stage. Judging by his cultivation alone, this human was undoubtedly a weakling.

However,

None of the demonic beasts present underestimated him. Their animal instincts told them that the human before them was an extremely dangerous existence.

“How can you be sure I’m here to die if you don’t give it a try?” Lin Que sneered.

During this seemingly meaningless conversation, the demonic beasts’ eyes never left Lin Que. They were observing him, and Lin Que was also observing them.

‘The cultivation of the three demonic beasts is at the early and middle stages of the Nascent Soul stage. There is no mention of the great demon at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage that Wan Yuan mentioned. It seems to be hiding.’

Having gathered enough information, Lin Que stopped wasting words.

Retrieving the flying sword beneath his feet back into his storage ring, he took out another sword from the ring.

This was a strangely shaped sword. The scabbard and hilt were tightly bound by chains, with no intention of being drawn, seemingly deliberately used as a blunt weapon.

The moment he grasped the sword, Lin Que’s entire demeanor changed abruptly. He was no longer the gentle young man he was with Qin Wan Yuan, but more like a ruthless sword immortal.

The battle was about to begin.

The purple-maned fierce lion was the first to attack. It opened its blood-red mouth, revealing a mouthful of ferocious fangs, and roared at Lin Que.

“Roar!”

The roar instantly echoed through the mountains and forests, and the previously restless forest below fell into a dead silence.

Its roar could disturb the minds of cultivators. The weaker ones would be directly frightened into madness by the roar, and even have their heart veins shattered.

The other two demonic beasts attacked Lin Que as the purple-maned fierce lion roared, intending to take him down in one go.

But Lin Que remained unmoved, his hand holding the sword did not tremble in the slightest.

At the moment when the two demonic beasts pounced on his position, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot and reappeared in front of the purple-maned fierce lion.

Lin Que’s hand holding the sword was raised high, and at the same time, the purple-maned fierce lion’s pupils suddenly contracted. It roared, raising its paw to strike Lin Que first.

However,

The paw never landed on him.

Because Lin Que’s scabbard had already smashed down on the purple-maned fierce lion’s skull.

Striking first after the enemy had initiated.

Bang!

A huge impact sound accompanied by the sound of bones cracking echoed. The purple-maned fierce lion’s figure plummeted rapidly, creating a large pit in the forest, its life or death unknown.

Lin Que casually swung the sword in his hand, shaking off the blood sticking to the scabbard. Without looking at the purple-maned fierce lion’s figure, he just turned his head to look at the remaining two demonic beasts and spoke indifferently.

“Next.”
