Scumbag Chapter 118 The Enchanting Demon King is a Living Lei Feng (30)

As a royal princess who had relied on mind reading ability to win favor since childhood, He Huan wallowed in despair for two days before quickly rebounding.

She hadn’t even met the phoenix yet, hadn’t obtained the ancient parasol wood, so how could she give up and die here?

Thus, He Huan began cultivating in the small dark room.

During breaks, He Huan eavesdropped on the thoughts of the two Foundation Building disciples guarding her door, tailoring her conversations to their interests.

Wen An hadn’t told anyone about He Huan's peculiar constitution, so these two were unaware of it.

They assumed He Huan had been punished because Wen Liangyu had secretly taken her out, gotten injured because of her, and angered the Ancestor. They even felt a little sorry for her.

While the sect rules were strict, the girl was still young. This time, she’d just been unlucky, and the young master’s injuries had already healed, so the punishment seemed excessive.

After winning their sympathy, He Huan would humbly seek their guidance on cultivation questions.

Seeing that He Huan hadn’t given up on cultivation despite being confined moved these two, and they answered her questions thoroughly, patiently mentoring her.

And through their inner thoughts, He Huan had also learned that Wen Liangyu had fully recovered.

He was safe and sound, and was still the young master of Tianji Tower, but she was now locked in a small dark room, with no one to hear her cries.

At that moment, He Huan’s hatred for Wen Liangyu solidified.

Even Bai Chen, who had previously asked her to be the queen of the fox clan, was hated by He Huan.

‘When men were trying to win a girl’s favor, they’d spout all kinds of sweet nothings. But the moment she was in trouble, they vanished without a trace. Men truly were unreliable!’

Wen Liangyu had no idea He Huan had misunderstood him. In order to get the Ancestor to approve his relationship with He Huan, he was desperately cultivating at this time.

The Ancestor had made it clear that if he didn't become a Golden Core cultivator, he wouldn't be able to see He Huan.

When Wen Liangyu thought of the smiling girl, suffering who-knew-what hardships now, he felt heartbroken and his motivation for becoming stronger surged.

He had never been so eager to be strong as he is now.

Only by becoming powerful could he claim the woman he wanted. Otherwise, he’d keep being scolded by his father and the Ancestor.

If he were a Nascent Soul, no one would dare criticize him.

As an important Supporting Male Character in the Female Lead’s ‘brothers’, Wen Liangyu’s talent was extraordinary. After three months, he successfully passed the Golden Core Tribulation and became a Golden Core cultivator.

Although he is a little behind Le Yanran, Wen Jin is still very satisfied with this result and even plans to hold a celebration for his son.

What Wen Jin didn't expect was that it was just a small celebration for the Golden Core, but the Ancestors and Elders from other sects actually showed up.

‘Since when were they so respectful?’

‘Haven't these sects already ostracized the Tianji Tower? Why are they giving us face like this this time?’

Wen Jin was a little confused at first, but after being showered with praise ‘a tiger father won’t have a dog son’, he quickly forgot his doubts.

Since the Ancestors from other sects have come to show their support, Wen An, as the Ancestor of the Tianji Tower, naturally has to come out to receive them in person.

Seeing Mingting also coming, Wen An's eyelid twitched. Just the sight of this Phoenix gave him a headache.

If it weren't for the mistake in the contract with the Phoenix, the Tianji Tower wouldn’t have declined so sharply.

Especially since he couldn't divine the origin of the Phoenix, Wen An was very wary of Mingting.

But even if everyone has conflicts, they can still get along on the surface.

Soon, the Golden Core banquet commenced, and Wen Liangyu, who had been dressed up, appeared in front of everyone.

Since a mere Golden Core celebration actually drew so many big shots, the minor sect’s disciples couldn’t help whispering, ‘Isn't it said that there is a conflict between the major sects and Tianji Tower? Why do the big shots come here?’

Minor sects always followed the major sects’ lead.

Now, they fell over themselves praising the Tianji Tower’s young master for being handsome, extraordinary, brilliant… proof that the Wen Family’s legacy was secure.

If it were normal times, Wen Liangyu might have patiently endured the flattery. But today, only one person occupied his thoughts.

So when the banquet reached its climax, Wen Liangyu threw propriety aside and knelt before Wen An.

"Please, Ancestor, let Junior Sister out and permit my union with Junior Sister He Huan! I, Wen Liangyu, swear to take only He Huan as my wife in this lifetime. I beseech your blessing!"

What is a slap in the face?

This is it!

Wen An was so angry at Wen Liangyu's behavior that he almost vomited blood.

By making this scene in public, Wen Liangyu was clearly banking on the crowd’s presence to force his hand. This betrayal by his own descendant left Wen An seething.

Marry He Huan?

Wen An would sooner kill that girl than agree!

"We’ll discuss this matter later."

The smile on Wen An's face faded a little, "Today is your celebration. Enjoy..."

"Ancestor, you said if I wished to see Junior Sister, I must become a Golden Core cultivator. All my efforts these months were for this single wish. I beg your blessing!"

Wen Liangyu kowtowed forcefully, forehead striking the floor with his head.

Seeing that the heir of Tianji Tower was so bewitched by He Huan that he swore he would not marry anyone but her, the Divine Transformation Ancestors couldn’t resist gossiping in the group chat.

"It seems coming here this time was absolutely necessary!”

"I can’t wait to meet this He Huan...”

"Since the heir of Tianji Tower can be fascinated like this, I am a bit worried about the disciples we brought this time. I wonder if they can resist her charm.”

As it turned out, ever since the big shots had decided to visit the Tianji Tower to see He Huan in person, Mingting had given them a suggestion.

They could observe He Huan, but it shouldn’t just be the Divine Transformation Ancestors meeting her.

After all, the big shots had resistance to He Huan’s charm and wouldn’t be easily bewitched.

The ones most affected by her were those below Divine Transformation… Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and even Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators.

Since there were so many Buddhist scriptures, Daoist texts, and heart sutras, why not select the ones most effective for calming the mind and cultivating inner peace?

Then, they could choose a number of sect disciples to conduct an experiment.

Have them study a particular scripture to fortify their spirits. Once they’d made some progress, the Ancestors could bring these disciples to the Taiji Tower to meet He Huan.

That way, they could determine which scripture was most effective in resisting He Huan’s charm and promote its use.

Moreover, Mingting also suggested that the experimental group shouldn’t just include elite disciples like Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators of the sects, but also average disciples and even ordinary ones.

Just like in a scientific experiment to get the most accurate results, they needed a rigorous approach.

So this time, when the Ancestors came, each brought over a hundred people from their sects.

Among them were the leading figures of the younger generation, disciples with average talent, disciples with strong wills, and disciples who have just entered the sect.

Now, all that was left was for He Huan to make her appearance.
