Holy Son, Run! The Demon Empress Wants You as Her Consort! - Chapter 13:
Chapter 13: Take This Pill Strike of Mine!
Night fell, and the moonlight was bright and clear.
Shangguan Yi pulled You Yiran aside with a mysterious expression. “Yiran, tonight Lin Ze is going to give you a huge surprise!”
“Don’t worry. Aunt has already cured him. You don’t need to be concerned.”
You Yiran tilted her head, her mind full of question marks. “Aunt, what are you talking about? I don’t understand a word.”
“I get it, I get it. This kind of thing is hard to talk about. Every household has its difficulties!”
You Yiran blinked. “Huh?”
At that moment, Lin Ze approached, his face flushed and steam rising from his body.
Damn it! The ginseng’s aftereffect just kicked in!
He looked at Er Hu—and even Er Hu was starting to look handsome!
You Yiran looked up at Lin Ze in shock. “What’s wrong with you?”
Lin Ze felt like tearing his hair out and screamed internally, What’s wrong with me? I feel like I’m about to explode!
Knowing the truth, Shangguan Yi quickly said, “Yiran, take Lin Ze back to your room and let him rest.”
You Yiran stepped back a few paces, sensing something wasn’t right. She quickly found an excuse. “I still have something to take care of. I’ll come back later…”
“Hey—Yiran…” Shangguan Yi called out a few times, but You Yiran didn’t look back, practically fleeing the scene.
Lin Ze tried to explain, “Aunt, actually—”
“I understand!” Shangguan Yi clapped her hands and looked at him wisely. “I can understand Yiran’s reaction. After all, if it only lasts a minute, of course she’s frustrated and unwilling.”
“…”
Shangguan Yi patted his shoulder. “Don’t worry, Aunt can cure you.”
Veins popped on Lin Ze’s forehead. “Aunt, how about you go rest?”
Shangguan Yi sighed, giving him a look filled with pity.
She understood men cared about their pride, especially in that department, so she gently said, “You get ready in the room. I’ll go convince her.”
Lin Ze clenched his jaw to hold back his fury.
Looking at her pitying eyes, he really wanted to pull out his treasure and show her just how “functional” he really was!
After Shangguan Yi left, Jing Ke crawled out from a nearby bush, his face covered in dirt and a smug expression on his face.
“Holy Son! After a full day and night of hard work, the tunnel is finally complete!”
“We can escape this demon lair tonight and return to the Azure Spirit Holy Land!”
Lin Ze was about to lose it. Why did everyone insist on dragging him away when he was doing just fine here?!
He roared, “I’m not leaving! I’m not leaving! I’m not leaving!!”
Jing Ke dropped the shovel and looked grim. “If that’s the case, then forgive me, Holy Son!”
“You—”
The next second, Lin Ze’s eyes widened. His body was locked in place—he couldn’t speak or move!
Er Hu drew his blade in rage. “How dare you! What did you do to the Holy Son?!”
Jing Ke said solemnly, “The Holy Master ordered me to bring the Holy Son back by any means necessary.”
“You’re going to disobey the Holy Master?”
Er Hu grumbled and reluctantly sheathed his blade.
“Let’s go home! I really don’t want to stay in this cursed place a moment longer!”
Lin Ze, “Mmmmmm!”
…
Meanwhile, deep beneath Netherveil Palace, a woman was moving through a hidden passage.
Looking into her mirror, You Xueyao frowned. “Ugh, this filthy tunnel ruined my makeup.”
The servant ahead of her digging turned around guiltily. “Mistress, I’m useless. I couldn’t distract the palace guards. I’ve made you suffer.”
“You know it, so hurry and break through! I want to catch that man with my own hands!”
“Then strip him and hang him naked at You Yiran’s wedding! I’ll whip him right there!”
“Hahaha… just thinking about it makes me so happy!”
…
After half an hour of trudging underground, You Xueyao cursed under her breath.
“This tunnel is suffocating! When I catch that man, I swear I’ll break him into pieces!”
“If I don’t make him beg for death, I’ll write my name backwards!”
“You—get out of the way! You dig too slow! I’ll do it myself!”
She was yelling at her servant when suddenly the dirt ahead started to loosen.
The next second, the wall crumbled.
Three filthy faces appeared from the other side.
Jing Ke: “?”
Lin Ze: “…”
You Xueyao: “!”
Er Hu: “Protect the Holy Son!”
Jing Ke instantly stepped back. “Damn! I didn’t expect guards beneath the palace!”
“Holy Son, run!”
“Where do you think you’re going? Stop right there!” You Xueyao shouted.
A wave of pressure burst from her body—Martial Saint aura exploded in all directions.
She released her power outward, locking Lin Ze and the others in place instantly.
In truth, You Xueyao was panicking too. Why were there people underground?!
These three must be palace guards. I can’t let them go!
Jing Ke’s face twisted in shock. “Martial Saint 8th stage?! You’re at Martial Saint 8th stage?!”
“Holy Son, run! I’ll fight to the death to buy time!”
He released his full Martial Emperor 9th stage aura. The ground trembled as his energy surged.
Then…
PAH!
With a casual flick of her hand, You Xueyao slammed his face into the dirt.
So strong?!
Er Hu’s hand trembled as he reached for his blade—and several seconds passed before he even managed to draw it halfway.
Seeing this, Lin Ze quickly explained, “Uh… look, I wasn’t trying to escape. Just getting some fresh air. Don’t misunderstand!”
“I’ll go with you to see the Empress. We’re all respected figures here—let’s not resort to violence.”
You Xueyao narrowed her eyes. Suddenly, her expression shifted into one of recognition and glee.
“Hahaha! So you’re Lin Ze—my senior sister’s husband!”
“Talk about searching high and low, only to stumble upon you without effort!”
She grinned wickedly. “Now that you’re in my hands, I’ll make you regret being born!”
She gleefully drew a leather whip and cracked it through the air with a loud snap!
Crack! Crack!
That aggressive?!
Lin Ze gulped and braced himself. “You’re Yiran’s junior sister? That makes you kind of my sister-in-law, right? We’re family, let’s keep things civil…”
“You dare take advantage of me?! I’ll whip you to death!” You Xueyao screamed, face dark.
Her high heels clicked threateningly on the ground as she stalked toward him.
Left with no choice, Lin Ze yelled in his mind, System draw! Two consecutive pulls!
[Ping! Due to the Host’s usual absent-mindedness, you’ve drawn SSS-grade reward: Enlightenment Card!]
[Ping! Due to the Host’s current high internal heat, the system has discreetly manipulated the draw: Divine-grade Lust Pill!]
Lin Ze’s face twisted in horror. He wanted nothing more than to drag the system out and beat it bloody.
What the hell was he supposed to do with these now?!
A Divine-grade Lust Pill? He was about to get whipped like a dog! What was he going to do with an aphrodisiac?!
Buy one myself, if I really needed it! Why flex now, huh?!
At that moment, You Xueyao looked at him with disdain. “Oh? Still giving me that look? You’ve really got some nerve!”
“You’ve officially pissed me off!”
Watching her get closer, Lin Ze gritted his teeth. “Screw it, let’s do this!”
He pulled out a pill. “You know what this is?”
You Xueyao sneered, “Who cares?! If you don’t want to die, get on your knees and lick my shoes!”
“Fine! You asked for it! Eat my pill strike!”
Lin Ze hurled the pill at her with all his might.
“Childish!”
You Xueyao flicked her jade-like hand toward the flying pill.
Boom!
The pill burst open mid-air, enveloping both of them in a strange mist.
Lin Ze’s pupils shrank. He shouted in horror, “We’re doomed!”
