Scumbag Chapter 103 The Enchanting Demon King is a Living Lei Feng (15)

Then, Mingting began earnestly explaining to Wu Hao what mind reading was.

"For example, I know Sect Master Wu likes Elder Hong and has had a crush on her for years but never dared to confess. Wait… no, Sect Master Wu did confess once, but Elder Hong thought he was mocking her after her disfigurement, so she beat him up."

As soon as Mingting finished speaking, Sect Master Wu hurriedly covered his mouth.

‘My little ancestor, you can’t just blurt that out!’

‘How did the Little Phoenix even know about this? This was mortifying! I’m the dignified Sect Master of Zhenshan Sect, hundreds of years old… did I have no face left to lose?’

‘Thankfully, Elder Hong had already left. Otherwise, my dignity would’ve been utterly destroyed!’

"Wu Hao, so you like women with fiery tempers! Not bad taste! Let go of the Little Phoenix, let him keep talking…"

Du Heng and Le Qing had sharp ears.

They were fascinated by the mind reading. Le Qing even immobilized Wu Hao and picked up Mingting, "Quick, tell us… what other gossip do you know about those Ancestors?"

‘Gossip?’

Mingting thought for a moment. While he didn’t actually have the Female Lead’s mind reading ability, he knew the plot. So he knew all the little secrets of the Ancestors and the Elders of the major sects.

"When the ancestor of Seven Stars Island was young, he went out to train and accidentally barged into the Yuxian Sect’s female disciples’ resting area. He was regarded as a pervert by Ancestor Bingqing."

"He refused to back down and called her a violent woman, so she poisoned him, stripped him down to his underwear, and hung him upside-down at the gates of a mortal kingdom’s capital for three days..."

"Rumor has it that some mortal countries still tell legends about the ‘Great Pervert’ to this day…"

Immobilized, Sect Leader Wu could only watch as the two sect ancestors acted like children, listening to the Little Phoenix’s gossip while snacking on spirit beans all afternoon.

"This mind reading ability of yours is truly remarkable!"

Du Heng patted the little fluffball’s head sympathetically, "All that noise must give you a headache! No wonder you’d frown even in your sleep."

"Ancestor, is there really no way to solve this problem?"

Wu Hao was genuinely concerned for Mingting. Managing a massive sect like his, the sheer volume of affairs could be overwhelming.

For Mingting, with his innate mind reading ability, all those voices constantly flooding his ears would be unbearable in the long run.

"Isn’t there something like… mind-blocking technique?"

Seeing that Sect Master Wu play along so perfectly, Mingting nearly gave him a thumbs-up.

He laid so much groundwork today just to hope that these big shots can research a method to block mental intrusions.

He Huan’s mind reading ability, which even allowed her to read the thoughts of Divine Transformation Ancestors, was terrifying.

Especially during the conflict between the two races, she could use it to uncover battle formations, ambush points, and strategies… making her a devastatingly effective weapon, far more dangerous than any radar.

This time, she couldn’t be allowed to use mind reading to harm others!

"Mind-blocking technique..." Le Qing frowned and tapped his head with his finger, "I'll write to the others immediately. We’ll pool our knowledge to find a solution."

Yue Qing and Du Heng had even more concerns than Wu Hao.

The Little Phoenix was innocent and friendly toward humans, so even if he knew some secrets, it wouldn’t matter.

But what if other demons or demonic beasts, especially high-level ones, could inherit mind reading abilities through their bloodline? Wouldn’t that put human race in danger?

So, the mind-blocking technique must be developed!

On one hand, it would solve the Little Phoenix’s distress and prevent him from unwanted thoughts. On the other hand, it was a necessary precaution.

If one creature had mind reading, there might be a second, a third… or even more.

Such an ability was truly impossible to guard against!

Before Le Qing wrote to the Ancestors of other sects, Mingting also shared his own understanding of mind reading.

In his opinion, the reason the Female Lead could read minds was that, at certain moments, her brainwaves synchronized with others, creating resonance… which was why she could hear their thoughts.

"Brainwaves? Resonance?"

After listening to Mingting’s explanation, Du Heng couldn't help but marvel.

It was said that the more noble a divine beast’s bloodline, the more likely they were to awaken ancestral memories and inherit knowledge passed down through generations.

Who knew the Phoenix Clan was so brilliant!

Soon, Le Qing finished writing his letters.

In order to prevent other Ancestors from not believing in Mingting's strange ability, he deliberately included each of their embarrassing secrets in the letters.

Unsurprisingly, when the Ancestors received the letters via special channels, they cursed Le Qing while reading.

‘Does this newcomer have no sense of propriety? As a dignified Divine Transformation cultivator, how can he be so gossipy? Zhenshan Sect should simply change its name to Gossip Sect!’

As for Mingting, no one blamed him.

‘What does a Little Phoenix know? Does he even understand concepts like love letters or unrequited love? It must’ve been those two bastard, Le Qing and Du Heng, coaxing my poor little one into spilling secrets!’

‘Poor little guy, he’s actually stuck with such a troublesome ability that he can't even sleep peacefully.’

‘For his sake, we have to develop the mind-blocking technique!’

…

Following Mingting’s suggestion, the Seven Stars Island’s Ancestor created a group communication talisman called ‘Immortal Chat’, adding all the ancestors so they could discuss matters collectively instead of relaying messages one by one.

As for Tianji Tower?

Sorry, but we don’t play with shady trash like you!

With so many big shots brainstorming, Mingting is no longer worried.

As long as everyone in the sects mastered the mind-blocking technique before the Female Lead descended into the Cultivation World, she would no longer be able to exploit mind reading to manipulate others.

As for the Female Lead’s other ability… being a walking hormone, exuding irresistible charm wherever she went, Mingting hadn’t yet figured out a solution.

Even her own parents, the Spring God and Medicine Immortal, had been helpless against this, so he could only take it step by step.

As for using the thousand-year-old parasol wood to alter her bone structure, the Female Lead could forget about that!!

…

Right now, Mingting had something even more important than dealing with the Female Lead.

Before, because Wen Liangyu had failed to secretly contract the Phoenix, the Ancestor of the Wen Family was angry that he publicly revealed that Du Heng only had a century left to live.

With Mingting's understanding of the self-serving, ruthless nature of the people in Tianji Tower, was entirely possible that Wen Jin, in his anger, would spread this news to the demons and demonic beasts.

The Zhenshan Sect had always stood firm against demons and demonic beasts, and generations of Zhenshan Sect’s disciples have killed many demons and demonic beasts.

If Bai Chen and Ji Yanjun found out Du Heng was nearing his end, they would undoubtedly devise some vicious scheme!

Du Heng possessed dual water and wood spiritual roots, which granted him high affinity, hence why spiritual beasts and demonic beasts liked him so much.

During his battle with the previous Demon Lord, he had fought with a ‘mutual destruction’ tactic, barely surviving after killing his enemy.

As a result, while Du Heng lived, his spiritual roots were severely corroded by demonic energy.

Mingting decided to secretly heal Ancestor Du Heng, keeping it under wraps, so that when the conspiracy struck, Du Heng could stun (or kill) the enemies with a grand display of power!

“My Phoenix True Flame is the bane of demonic energy. Would you like to give it a try?"

Mingting found a time and came to Du Heng's cave alone.
