CHAPTER 97: CHAPTER 97 INTELLECTUAL SUPPRESSION [REQUEST FOR RECOMMENDATION TICKETS]_1

Sha Chen’s clone, Chen Sha, and Fairy Yunyao returned to their dwelling.

No sooner had they closed the door than Fairy Yunyao asked, "Why did you save those two?"

Sha Chen’s clone said, "Save who?"

Fairy Yunyao patted the back of his hand, and the two rings immediately shone brightly, transforming into the Black Bear Demon and Tianpeng.

She said indifferently, "You might deceive the demons, but you can’t fool me."

The Black Bear Demon and Tianpeng glanced at each other, their expressions ferocious.

They gritted their teeth and said, "Now that you know, we can’t let you live..."

BANG, BANG.

With one punch each from Fairy Yunyao, the two were instantly knocked to the ground.

Lying on the floor, they both doubted life itself.

Sha Chen’s clone helped them up, consoling them, "I forgot to mention, my Senior Sister is a peak Greater Primordial Golden Immortal."

The Black Bear Demon and Tianpeng were on the verge of tears.

They were actually thinking of going after a peak Greater Primordial Golden Immortal!

It was a good thing she was an ally; otherwise, they might already be dead.

Sha Chen’s clone said, "Senior Sister, don’t ask so much. In any case, I must save them."

Yunyao truly did not ask.

Sha Chen’s clone added, "However, I’m afraid we won’t be able to keep this a secret for long. We should leave as soon as possible."

Yunyao said, "Are you not planning to complete the task Master gave you? What am I supposed to do then?"

Sha Chen’s clone said, "We’ll talk about that later."

Yunyao’s face turned red, and with a scowl, she huffed, "Do as you like."

Sha Chen’s clone’s face turned dark. What could this woman be thinking?

He was about to let the Black Bear Demon and Tianpeng change back into rings, but Yunyao stopped him.

Yunyao said, "They’re not skilled enough. They might fool the demons in the jail just fine, but out on the road, there are many sharp-eyed demons who will surely see through them."

Sha Chen’s clone asked, "Do you have a solution, Senior Sister?"

Yunyao said, "Just keep them as they are. A simple disguise will do. They’re beasts to begin with, no different from demons."

Sha Chen’s clone thought it made a lot of sense. He had them quickly disguise themselves, putting on the local demons’ attire, and they became real ’insiders.’

Sha Chen’s clone instructed, "Remember, from now on, the two of you are to pretend to be my servants."

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Everyone tensed up immediately. Sha Chen’s clone glanced at Yunyao, saw that she was undisturbed, and cursed inwardly. But he still looked at the Black Bear Demon.

Understanding the situation, the Black Bear Demon went to open the door, intending to kill the knocking demon on the spot, only to find a large group of demons standing outside.

He extended his hands naturally, ready to frisk the knocking demon.

The Black Bear Demon said, "My lord wishes to rest. If you want to enter, you must be searched."

The knocking demon cooperated, saying with a flattering smile, "Commendable foresight from a lord."

The other demons nodded in agreement, each with a similar flattering smile.

Sha Chen’s clone recognized the knocking demon as the gatekeeper demon from earlier. Standing beside him was a plump woman, his wife, the Snake Demon.

After inspecting the gatekeeper demon, the Snake Demon too opened her arms, expecting to be searched.

The Black Bear Demon, however, returned to Sha Chen’s clone’s side, leaving the Snake Demon slightly disappointed.

Sha Chen’s clone asked, "What do you want?"

The gatekeeper demon said, "I heard from my wife that the lord doesn’t fancy beauty."

Sha Chen’s clone affirmed, "Indeed."

The gatekeeper demon immediately threw a coquettish glance. Striking a pose, he said, "Please accept this, my lord."

He walked in and closed the door behind him, leaving his Snake Demon wife and the other demons locked outside.

Sha Chen’s clone almost vomited his leftover dinner. If that gatekeeper demon called me ’brother,’ I might mistake him for Zhang Fei! Striking a pose!?

He unapologetically stepped forward and gave the demon a good beating.

Fallen on the ground, the demon said, "Brother, there’s a whip on the wall. Please lash me to your heart’s content."

Sha Chen’s clone kicked him away, and the Black Bear Demon and Tianpeng also pounced forward to beat the demon unconscious.

Tianpeng stepped forward and asked, "Brother, do you really dislike women? You saved me, it’s not because you are..."

Sha Chen’s clone scowled and glared at him, silencing him.

"Sir, your temperament really resembles that of my master," said the Black Bear Demon.

Tianpeng replied in surprise, "Now that you mention it, I have a brother who seems to share a similar disposition."

They’re about to bring up my real name, and Yunyao is right here! Sha Chen’s clone hurriedly changed the subject. "Enough talk, it’s time to leave."

Then the four of them opened the door and closed it again after stepping out, to prevent the Snake Demon and the other demons outside from seeing clearly what had happened inside.

The Snake Demon approached and asked, "Immortal, where is my husband?"

Sha Chen’s clone coughed and replied, "He’s gone to wash up. Now lead the way for me. I need to leave. The gift for your King has arrived."

The Snake Demon was immediately thrilled and quickly led the way. She also mused, with a touch of regret, what a pity it was that someone with such fair skin was so unbending in his preferences.

She then glanced at Sha Chen’s clone’s companions, the Black Bear Demon and Tianpeng, and felt they looked somewhat familiar. When did the Immortal get two demon companions? she wondered. Probably local demons, no wonder they looked familiar.

The Black Bear Demon and Tianpeng smiled at her, sending a chill down her spine.

Disgusting, she thought.

With someone leading the way, Sha Chen’s clone and his companions safely made their way off Luanshi Island.

Once outside the island gates again, they were met with a sea breeze and the bustle of people coming and going.

The Snake Demon asked, "Immortal, where is the gift?"

Just as Sha Chen’s clone was about to make a hasty escape, a light flew over from the island.

A bird demon landed, made a respectful bow, and said, "I’ve heard an Immortal was here to visit. My King invites you."

Sha Chen’s clone’s heart skipped a beat.

The Snake Demon smiled and said, "Immortal, they’re calling for you."

Sha Chen’s clone struck the Snake Demon’s neck with a palm chop, but she was unfazed.

She looked at him in astonishment and asked, "Immortal, what’s the matter?"

Sha Chen’s clone said sheepishly, "Seeing you working so hard, I thought I’d give you a shoulder rub."

Blushing, the Snake Demon said, "Thank you, Immortal. It’s Lord Zongqi calling for you. Let’s go over quickly."

However, Sha Chen’s clone then lifted his foot and kicked the Snake Demon, sending her flying.

He grabbed Yunyao’s hand and said, "Senior Sister, quickly turn into a bird! I need to ride you."

Yunyao, however, did not budge; instead, she looked slightly mischievous.

Seeing this, Sha Chen’s clone said bitterly, "Senior Sister, stop playing! It’s a matter of life and death."

Yunyao replied, "This is also a test from Master for you, Junior Brother. You can do it!"

Seeing their reaction, the demons realized what was happening.

The Snake Demon shouted in rage, "Who exactly are you, and why have you deceived us?"

One by one, they bared their teeth and waved their claws, furious beyond measure.

Of course, Sha Chen’s clone would not reveal his real name, so he said, "Since you’ve asked with such sincerity, we will be supremely merciful and tell you."

He proclaimed loudly, "We are The Handsome and Pushy Trio! I am Handsome!"

The Black Bear Demon said, "I am Trio!"

Tianpeng followed suit, "And I am... Pushy? Eh?"

After speaking, his face turned green. This is no way to treat someone!

Just as he was about to argue with Sha Chen’s clone, the clone, without a word, turned and ran, leaping onto a cloud to make his escape.

Meanwhile, he shouted, "Split up and run! It increases our chances of survival. If you get caught again, I’m not saving you!"

Tianpeng and the Black Bear Demon were already prepared. They formed hand seals, summoned clouds, and flew away.

The three of them dashed in three different directions.

The demons were furious and each chose one to chase after with a vengeance.

The Snake Demon and Lord Zongqi, the bird demon, were in hot pursuit of Sha Chen’s clone, their hatred for him immense.

I’m about to be caught! Sha Chen’s clone thought. My cultivation base is too weak, and I haven’t practiced the main body’s Qingyun Zong technique! He couldn’t outrun the two powerful demons.

In desperation, he cried out, "Senior Sister, save me! The test should be enough by now! Quick, let me ride you!"

WHOOSH.

A Xianhe soared beneath Sha Chen’s clone, lifted him up, and flew away.

The Xianhe spoke in a human voice; it was none other than Fairy Yunyao.
