Chapter 31: Yuexue’s Nosebleed

The Purity Sect, also known as the Purity Cult, was an infamous extremist sect in the Lower District, adhering to absurd doctrines.

They firmly believed that the Witch Bloodline of the Upper District was supreme, a symbol of purity and nobility, while the people of the Lower District were all base commoners with tainted bloodlines.

If they could extract the blood of an Upper District person and transfuse it into their own bodies, they could shed their status as Lower District commoners and become noble individuals.

A single step to the heavens.

If they could just eliminate all the impoverished lowlifes of the Lower District, then only the noble Upper District people would remain.

There would be no more so-called poverty and lowliness.

At that time, there would be no distinction between Upper and Lower Districts.

They were doing a good deed!

They were good people!

This was a holy faith!

Upon hearing these outrageous claims, Lin Lue was stunned.

The incident at the academy forced him to take this seriously.

Being targeted by these maniacs was no good thing.

Lin Lue couldn’t rely on them simply forgetting or showing mercy.

With Yuexue by his side for once, Lin Lue decided to take the initiative.

Why wait for the other side to come knocking and be on top of him before fighting back?

That would be terrible.

What if the other side had some underhanded trick that led to his defeat?

Lin Lue absolutely did not want to be turned into a cream puff in front of Lin Xue’er.

Following the address Tang Xinxin had given earlier, Lin Lue led Yuexue, turning left and right, navigating through several intricate streets and alleys, until they finally arrived before a building.

It looked dilapidated and ordinary on the outside, no different from the surrounding structures, but the inside was another world.

This was the secret gathering place of the Purity Sect.

Today, a secret revelry was being held inside.

It was quite lively.

Many people were gathered at the entrance, each wearing masks of various styles, hiding their faces, revealing only their eyes.

Some looked fanatical, others cold and sinister…

The atmosphere was eerie and oppressive.

Lin Lue, holding Yuexue’s hand and also wearing a mask, stood not far away.

The large crowd conveniently provided them with cover.

Lin Lue was privately pondering how to infiltrate without raising suspicion.

After all, the other side was an extremist sect; the guards were surely tight.

Charging in recklessly would easily alert them.

Squeeze squeeze~

Lin Lue: “?”

A soft sensation came from his finger.

Looking down, he saw Yuexue amusing herself by playing with his fingers, lightly stroking them one moment, gently hooking them the next.

She showed no interest in her surroundings, her attention entirely on him.

A realization dawned on Lin Lue.

Why should he bother devising an infiltration plan?

Standing beside him was the Great Witch, Yuexue, who possessed Super Strength.

Super Intelligence reminded Lin Lue that it was time to use Super Strength.

Feeling liberated, Lin Lue was about to execute a rather tactical plan:

Release Yuexue, then close the door, leave no one alive!

Just as he was about to discuss it with Yuexue, unfamiliar footsteps approached.

Lin Lue looked over to see a woman of ostentatious bearing walking towards them.

She wore a golden gown, her long hair styled in big waves, holding an exquisite lace fan in her hand.

Her every move was deliberately posed to appear elegant and noble.

It seemed she was trying to imitate an Upper District Witch.

Lin Lue glanced at Yuexue behind him.

An Upper District Witch wouldn’t sway her waist so exaggeratedly either.

A man in a black suit and mask followed beside her, silent.

Lin Lue looked at the man, then his gaze returned to the woman.

From the slightly worn-out state of her high heels, the tiny fraying at the hem of her dress, and other such details, he could see she was putting on a front.

She was just pretending to be something she wasn’t, deliberately imitating elegance.

“Sister, you look unfamiliar. Are you also here for the Purity Revelry?”

The woman wearing a half-face mask spoke first, her tone enthusiastic, but her eyes held scrutiny as she looked Yuexue up and down.

She paid no attention to Lin Lue at all.

Seeing Yuexue lower her head, showing no intention of responding to the other party, completely engrossed in fiddling with his fingers, Lin Lue had no choice but to subtly nudge her with his elbow, signaling her to play along.

Yuexue slowly raised her eyes.

She had no fondness for this deliberately disguised woman before her and merely gave a perfunctory nod, not even bothering to say a word.

“I see, so am I.”

The woman smiled, her gaze finally falling on Lin Lue.

She examined him carefully up and down and couldn’t help but praise.

“What an excellent manservant, sister. You truly have good taste and good fortune.”

“This physique, this aura… very handsome, extremely rare in the Lower District. You must keep a close eye on him.”

“How do you know he’s handsome?”

Yuexue suddenly looked up, her tone turning cold.

The woman sneezed.

Strange, why did the temperature suddenly drop?

“Sister, with this physique and aura, clearly his appearance can’t be bad either.”

Hearing this, Yuexue’s imposing aura subsided.

So that was it.

She thought the other person had X-ray vision…

If that were the case, Yuexue would have struck her dead on the spot.

She hadn’t even seen Lin Lue without clothes on.

Woman: Strange, why did the temperature suddenly rise again?

The woman didn’t dwell on it. With a flick of her wrist, a faint trace of Magic Power shimmered in her palm, and a White Chain materialized out of thin air.

As she pulled the chain, a cold collar appeared around the neck of the suited man beside her.

The eyes behind the mask were hollow, numb, devoid of any spark.

The woman raised her foot, extending her high-heeled shoe before the man.

The man immediately obediently knelt down and, with practiced movements, kissed the tip of her shoe.

Clearly, he had long been tamed, like a walking corpse.

“Sister, look, this is the manservant I brought to the gathering today. Not as good as yours, but still decent, right?”

“See how obedient my toy is.”

“Today’s party has many rules. You must discipline your manservant well, lest he breaks some rule and causes trouble for you.”

“If your person is disobedient, hard to control, I have quite a few effective training methods here, all carefully devised by me. Would you like to learn?”

The woman looked at Yuexue, her voice carrying a hint of boastfulness and probing.

Lin Lue: “?”

How can this woman be so wicked!

Lin Lue was furious.

Of course, he was confident. He had faith in Yuexue’s moral fiber.

Though a bit twisted and warped, she wouldn’t arbitrarily persecute others, only harm herself.

Lin Lue turned his head and noticed Yuexue was staring straight at him, a flicker of… heat swirling in her golden eyes behind the mask.

Lin Lue: “???”

No, that’s not the kind of heat we want!

Fortunately, Yuexue ultimately did not disappoint him.

Yuexue shook her head, her tone cold as she refused, “No need. Not interested.”

Seeing this, the woman tittered with laughter.

“Sister is very confident. If one can’t control their own toy properly, they have no right to attend this banquet. They’ll be laughed at by the others.”

Yuexue had clearly lost patience.

The power of ice and fire faintly stirred around her, the air temperature plummeting and then soaring instantly.

She couldn’t be bothered to waste more words on this woman.

She was about to grab her and directly refine her!

Then, she felt something cool in her hand.

Yuexue: “?”

Her Magic Power receded.

Yuexue looked at the object in her palm.

It was a chain.

Following the silvery-white chain, the other end was fastened around Lin Lue’s neck.

Yuexue: “???”

Yuexue looked at Lin Lue in confusion, not understanding why he had done this.

“What are you spacing out for, Master.”

Lin Lue’s voice sounded softly, low and gentle.

M-Master?!

Yuexue felt an indescribable heat crawl up her spine from the soles of her feet, sweeping through her entire body.

Her heart raced, her face flushed.

Her very bones felt weak.

Drip, drip…

Bright red liquid dripped to the ground.
