It turns out I'm a second-generation demon.

In the private room on the second floor, two men and two women stood by the window. Three of them were dressed strangely, the men were plain-looking, but the two women were quite attractive.

The young master surnamed Ye angrily retorted, "Who dares to meddle in other people's business?"

Li Xianyu whispered, "Can we handle these guys? If not, we won't go downstairs. We'll just curse them from downstairs."

The young assassin said, "I am also a spiritual awakener, and I am quite at ease in the illusion array, just not as strong as Long Aotian."

Li Xianyu was immediately relieved and emboldened: "Let's hurry down and take this opportunity to boost our goodwill and successfully infiltrate the enemy's ranks."

He was about to turn and leave when the young assassin grabbed him by the back of the collar. "No need for that."

The young assassin leaped lightly from the VIP private room, landing gracefully on the street. Two soft thuds followed as Thunder Warrior and Wuxia landed.

The young master surnamed Ye's gaze fell on Thunder War Maiden, scrutinizing her closely. He frowned, and after a moment, suddenly became excited: "Beautiful, so beautiful! May I ask your name, how old you are, where you live, and whether you are married? I am Ye Liangjing, and I wish to marry you."

Thunder Maiden didn't answer, looking speechless.

The teenage assassin glanced at her and laughed, "War Maiden, Li Mengcheng is truly in love with you. Even though his mind is controlled by Long Aotian, he still fell in love with you at first sight."

Li Xianyu asked curiously, "Li Mengcheng?"

The teenage assassin explained, "Haven't you noticed? This Ye Liangjing has an exceptionally high IQ, unlike the other NPCs. It's because he's our colleague, his real name is Li Mengcheng, and he's a fervent admirer of the War Maiden. He's always bickering with Long Aotian in the group chat; they're a real pair of clowns. That's why he's now the villain."

Upon hearing this, Li Xianyu realized that this Young Master Ye was indeed more expressive and lively than an ordinary NPC.

The young master surnamed Ye muttered, "I want her. This long-legged beauty is mine, and that little beauty is yours. Compared to such a stunning beauty, a little wench is nothing."

Li Xianyu glanced at Princess Gaoyue, then at Thunder War Maiden, and asked in confusion, "Is he blind?"

Thunder Valkyrie: "..."

Hey Li, you're asking for it again, aren't you? Wait till we get out of here, I'll beat you so badly you'll question your existence.

Just as the group was about to make their move, the young assassin sneered, took a step forward, and in an instant, the power of a grandmaster erupted, her powerful aura suffocating everyone.

The young masters' expressions changed drastically, and they exclaimed in shock, "A level-one expert?!"

Ye Liangjing said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency is a sage from all walks of life."

The teenage assassin ignored her and uttered, "Get lost!"

Long Aotian shouted, "Ye Liangjing, even if your brother commands the Imperial Guard, my Long family is not to be trifled with. Fighting in the marketplace will result in imprisonment at best, and the loss of your cultivation at worst. If you are a man, in three months, at the Sword Platform in the west of the city, we will have a martial arts duel, and you shall bear the consequences of your actions. I will make you understand what the fear of death is. Even if you kneel down and repent, I will not let you go, so that you will know that I, Long Aotian, cannot be humiliated."

As he spoke the last sentence, a palpable killing intent flashed in the boy's eyes.

Ye Liangjing laughed loudly: "Fine, since you, Long Aotian, are so arrogant and ignorant, then I, Ye Liangjing, don't mind teaching you a lesson. After I cripple you, that pretty girl in your family will have to obediently sleep in my bed sooner or later."

His companions burst into laughter.

Amidst laughter, they rode away.

Long Aotian asked gently, "Are you alright?"

The princess shook her head: "Thank you. You must be Long Aotian?"

She knew Long Aotian. The Long family was a prominent clan in the Wuji Dynasty. Their ancestors followed the founding emperor in battles across the country and made outstanding contributions.

However, in the last hundred years, the clan has begun to decline. The strongest expert in the clan is the clan leader, Long Zhantian, a peak Xuan-level expert.

Long Aotian is Long Zhantian's only son. He is quite famous in Wuji City because he is still unable to open his dantian, so he cannot cultivate and can only follow the path of body refinement.

The infamous good-for-nothing of Wuji City.

I never expected him to be so handsome.

Princess gazed at Long Aotian's incomparably handsome face, her heart pounding like a deer.

Long Aotian nodded, bid farewell to the loli princess, and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Her Highness called out.

Long Aotian paused, turned around, and asked, "What is it?"

The princess removed a beautiful jade pendant from her waist and handed it over, her voice shy and hesitant: "Here, take this. Thank you for saving my life. My name is Gao Yue..."

Long Aotian feigned intellectual disability, pretending not to recognize the material of the jade pendant and not to understand the meaning of "Gao Yue".

He smiled and said, "It was nothing."

"I met the goddess by chance, and we both have extraordinary identities, but we're forced to be idiotic and have to wait until the climax of the plot to reveal our identities," Li Xianyu said. "If Long Aotian wrote a novel, he would definitely earn millions a month."

Thunder War Maiden looked at him thoughtfully. This kid seemed to know Long Aotian's tricks very well, and he might really be useful at a crucial moment.

Li Xianyu said, "Who is the prototype for Princess Gaoyue? She seems somewhat familiar."

Thunder War Maiden said, "Take another look. You've seen the original owner before."

Upon hearing this, Li Xianyu carefully examined Gao Yue and was suddenly shocked: "Tongtong? Holy crap, is Long Aotian a devil? He doesn't even spare an eight-year-old girl."

If you look closely, Gao Yue and Tong Tong have some similarities in their eyes and eyebrows.

"I am deeply grateful for your help," Long Aotian said, stepping forward and bowing with clasped hands.

"It was nothing, just a small favor. It is Brother Aotian who is so righteous and courageous that we greatly admire him." Li Xianyu returned the greeting with clasped hands: "I am Zhao Ritian. This is my elder brother Zhao Batian, my eldest sister Zhao Ling'er, and my second sister Zhao Lingbo Li."

Long Aotian glanced at his second sister, Zhao Lingbo Li, whose name was unusual, and said, "You all look unfamiliar. You're not from Wuji City, are you?"

Li Xianyu said, "We come from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East, on our way to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures. We have encountered many hardships along the way. We passed through Wuji City, and our travel expenses were exhausted. Alas!"

He sighed helplessly, looking up at the sky.

Thunder War Maiden and Girl Assassin looked at each other in bewilderment. What the hell, they were out of money? Who would be spending their money in a brothel? They couldn't even lie in a reasonable way.

To everyone's surprise, Long Aotian believed him and generously said, "I have always admired chivalrous people. If you gentlemen do not mind, you may stay at your residence for a few days, so that I may extend my hospitality as a host."

Li Xianyu smiled and said, "That's excellent."

After bidding farewell to Princess Gaoyue, Long Aotian led everyone towards home.

Both the female assassin and the Thunder Warrior found it unbelievable, "They've already infiltrated the enemy ranks?"

Li Xianyu scratched his head: "That's how it's written in novels. I've read too many of them. I tried it out, and it went surprisingly smoothly."

"..."

The group walked alongside Long Aotian, and as they walked, Thunder War Maiden said, "I feel like something's a little strange."

"What's wrong?"

She frowned, a look of confusion in her eyes: "Suddenly I think Long Aotian is so handsome, I really want a boyfriend like him."

The young assassin was taken aback, then her expression turned serious: "This is bad. It's an illusion array hypnotizing you. That bastard Long Aotian wants to build a harem every time he sees a beautiful woman."

Li Xianyu also sensed something was wrong and said in a deep voice, "Then what should we do?"

Such a fiery girl like War Maiden, don't fall for an overpowered protagonist!

"Leave it to Sanwu," the young assassin said, leaning closer to Sanwu and whispering a few words in his ear.

"Okay." Sanwu walked over, looking at Thunder War Maiden expressionlessly, and said seriously, "How could any man possibly like a woman like you who is all looks and no brains?"

He chopped down on Thunder War Maiden's head with a single blow.

Thunder War Maiden gasped, the confusion in her eyes vanished, replaced by anger, and she returned to normal.

Li Xianyu: "???"

He could almost hear the sound of his own worldview shattering.
