ACER-Chapter 23: Zi Mei Demon General

After a while, the female disciple slowly woke up.

When she saw the face before her clearly, along with a piercing scream, a slap flew toward Di Yange’s face.

Di Yange immediately caught her hand.

“You… you beast, you actually… to me…” Zi Yue struggled to get up, but she was likely frozen stiff, half her body was numb, and after struggling for a long time, she still couldn’t get up.

Di Yange rolled her eyes, she had never liked people who were full of themselves and always pushed responsibility onto others.

“Lady, I’m still a child. If anyone’s a beast, it’s you. You suddenly threw yourself onto me.”

One of Di Yange’s hands still held her wrist, she spoke with full confidence, and her words were extremely irritating.

“Lady, you’re also very heavy, and your voice is loud. I, who was knocked unconscious by you, was woken up by how loud you were.”

“You… you…” Zi Yue, who had always been admired in both the mortal world and the sect, had clearly never encountered someone like Di Yange.

These words made her so angry that smoke seemed to come out of all seven orifices.

Perhaps due to anger, her frozen legs actually regained sensation.

Moreover, Di Yange’s body was very warm. In this icy place, she’s like a furnace, making her a bit reluctant to leave.

“Lady, would you consider getting up?”

“Little brat, I’m helping you so you won’t freeze to death here.”

“I don’t need it.”

“You… wuwu… you’re bullying me…”

“…”

Di Yange continued lying there. However, the sobbing sound didn’t stop, like noises made by demons, irritating her to the point of exploding.

“Shut up!!! So annoying!!!”

For some reason, the snow grew heavier, and the wind also became stronger. The surroundings were eerily silent, as if they had been abandoned by the entire world, leaving only each other.

Zi Yue had been pampered since childhood, when had she ever experienced such a situation before. She was scared of dying here at such a young age, so she cried even harder.

“Enough, shut up. I’ll take you to find others.”

Thus, Di Yange, dragging a burden, began walking forward again. However, the further they went, the stronger the wind and snow became. The icy wind was like blades cutting painfully across their faces.

Zi Yue wanted to cry again.

“I can’t walk anymore. Carry me.”

“…”

In the end, Di Yange still used her small shoulders to carry Zi Yue, while reminding her, “It’s very dangerous ahead. If you die, don’t blame me.”

Seeing the scene of the small Di Yange carrying the delicate girl, Luo Ziyin’s heart almost exploded.

“Who exactly is this woman, she actually dared to take advantage of brother?”

“Qingyang Great Emperor, this humble one knows.” Someone in the crowd recognized the purple-clothed girl.

“Speak!”

The bystander said, “This humble one has seen this demoness before. She is under the Demon Venerable, one of the Four Demon Generals, Zi Mei Demon General.”

“So it’s her.”

Luo Ziyin looked around and angrily slapped the light screen.

He remembered now, she seemed to be that shameless woman.

In the past, he had seen that streak of purple in the Divine Realm, hooking arms with Di Yange and whispering more than once. He hadn’t expected that they had already gotten together so early on.

“Brother, what exactly is your relationship with that Zi Mei?” Luo Ziyin looked at Di Yange pitifully.

Di Yange spoke bluntly, “This Emperor is about to die. Is this matter still that important?”

Her words were like a sharp blade stabbing into Luo Ziyin’s heart, causing him intense pain.

Yes, she’s about to die. Whether those things were true or not, what did it matter anymore?

He suddenly sat there dejectedly against the light screen, his face devoid of spirit.

Di Yange glanced at him from the divine throne, she kept getting the feeling that this guy was crazy, so she continued spacing out.

…

On the other side, Di Yange grew more excited as she walked forward, while Zi Yue could barely open her eyes in the wind. The snowflakes struck her body painfully.

Suddenly, she screamed and fainted.

Di Yange glanced back at the unconscious Zi Yue, her face looked extremely pale.

If they continued forward, this little beauty would definitely croak. But if they didn’t continue, she herself couldn’t kick the bucket.

While hesitating, Di Yange saw a giant clam shell in the distance that could fit a person.

This clam shell was clearly no ordinary object. It looked crystal clear and remained undamaged despite the blizzard.

Di Yange’s eyes lit up. She threw Zi Yue into the clam shell, closed it, knocked on it, and found it very sturdy.

Afterward, she dragged the clam shell and continued forward.

No one could stop her from courting death.

As for Zi Yue, whether she could survive depended on herself.

Leaving her here would mean death anyway.

Thus, dragging the clam shell, she moved forward step by step. The further she went, the stronger the blizzard became, making it impossible to open her eyes.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain on her face. Wiping it, she found it covered in blood.

Tsk, she hadn’t seen that colour in a long time, it’s still so glaring.

Then wound after wound appeared, like being flayed alive, cutting her into a barely human state.

Everyone watching couldn’t resist shaking their heads, this Di Yange really suffered constant misfortune.

Only Di Yange grew more excited. As she walked, a bracelet emitting seven-colored light blocked her path. It was obviously something valuable, so… she kicked it away.

Continuing on, she saw a hairpin emitting nine-colored light, she kicked it away as well…

Everyone was shocked. Those treasures were easily within reach, yet she gave them up because of that demoness??? Couldn’t she put her down first and take the treasures???

Finally, in a daze, Di Yange saw a building.

Could this be the ghost manor?

The moment she stepped onto it, everything around her disappeared. Even the wounds that had finally formed on her body vanished.

Beside her lay the unconscious Zi Yue. Others were also here, lying in small groups.

The only one standing was Xiao Jue, but he seemed to be trapped in some illusion, his expression filled with madness.

In front of her was a structure that was grand and imposing, like an ancient palace from afar.

Behind her were unfamiliar spirit flowers and grasses.

Normally, she might be interested in those things, but she was about to go home.

So what use were they?

At that moment, an old voice sounded.

“You were not tempted by benefits and did not abandon your companion in such peril, you have passed the trial. You are the first child to pass, you may choose one item and leave.”

In front of Di Yange appeared a row of items radiating various lights.

Grass, weapons, accessories, and more.

Clearly they were all valuable, yet she had no interest in them at all.

Then the voice sounded again, “You may also choose to continue forward. Certain death lies ahead. Once you step in, there will be no turning back.”

Di Yange excitedly said, “I choose BBBBB… no, I choose to continue forward.”

“What I offered is already the best in this secret realm, there is no need to go seek death.”

“I just like… adventure. No matter how many dangers lie ahead, as long as I try, even death is worth it.”

“I did not misjudge you.”

After the voice disappeared, the tempting items also vanished.

At that moment, aside from a few who failed and died, the rest woke up.

The two youths from Lingxiao Sect regained consciousness and saw their beloved junior sister lying at Di Yange’s feet. Old grudges and new hatred combined, and they swung their swords at Di Yange.
