The Steward Demonic Emperor

Chapter 542: Orders

Crack!

A shattering sound came from Kui Gang who was meditating as his cultivation soared.

He was now in the 8th layer of Profound Heaven Stage lifting up from the 7th.

Kui Lang lit up in joy, forever grateful for Zhuo Fan’s aid. His son took the pill and powered up just after some meditation.

That’s the 10th grade Heaven Reaching Pill for you, not just re-molding one’s body but increasing cultivation too.

Kui Gang let out a deep breath and his eyes flashed.

Then he kneeled before Zhuo Fan and kowtowed again.

While his dad had forced him the first time, this gesture came from the bottom of his heart. Now he knew what it meant to be reborn.

The simple act of lifting his hand contained unimaginable power, his meridians thrumming with Yuan Qi.

Even though the increase was only one layer, his wide meridians translated it into a power increase of dozens of times.

He felt unstoppable and was certain he might never feel so amazing ever again.

The three bumps on his head were totally worth it, while Kui Lang laughed in joy.

Zhuo Fan glanced over and stated, “My work here is done. It’s time for me to hit the cemetery and mind my own training.”

But Yue Ling had a different opinion, “Wait, Steward Zhuo, please help Yue’er as well. Else she will forever be in the 6th layer of Profound Heaven Stage!”

“Your point being?”

Zhuo Fan cocked an eyebrow, and spoke in an icy tone, “I came to save them and that’s what I did. As for how much, it’s all up to my whims. Since I don’t feel like it, I’ll leave it at that.”

Zhuo Fan snorted and walked away.

Yue Ling slumped to the ground in despair. Her begging eyes landed on Elder Yuan, to say a few words.

But Elder Yuan sighed and shook his head.

Getting Zhuo Fan involved was already a miracle in itself. [Opportunity comes knocking only once, it is best to treasure it.]

He was annoyed and getting him to finish healing was nigh impossible.

The Four Scheming Demons resumed their creepy laughter, with Violent Demon getting delighted in other’s suffering, “Told you so. Steward Zhuo is petty to the core. You deserve it after getting on his bad side, hi-hi-hi…”

Yue Ling wallowed in remorse.

“Wait!”

Though Zhuo Fan’s step slowed, he did not turn around. Yue’er watched his back with a victimized face, “I would like to thank you first. And apologize, but I’m not begging you to help me. I’m satisfied with being able to keep my cultivation and not turning into a cripple. Yes, that’s it…”

Zhuo Fan paused for a second then kept walking.

The Four Scheming Demons jeered.

[Dumb broad, no amount of pleading and begging will move Steward Zhuo. You’re barking at the wrong tree.]

Kui Lang sighed at Yue’er’s fate. Yue Ling felt bitter at her sister’s mistreated look.

[She’s just too damn pigheaded. When will she learn to be more flexible.]

Everyone sighed at Yue’er’s missed godsent opportunity. Oh, Four Scheming Demons were not included, still mocking in the background.

But soon, the four stopped and scratched their heads.

“Boss, didn’t we forget something?” Sly Demon asked.

Violent Demon nodded with a frown, “I have the same feeling that we’ve overlooked something. What were we doing again?”

“Weren’t we talking about how after being around Steward Zhuo for so long we should get something out of the Luo clan’s share? Why only Li Jingtian and those other foggies get to have something and not us?” Scrooge Demon exclaimed.

The four nodded.

“Yeah, that’s it. We gotta demand Heaven Reaching Pills from Steward Zhuo, ha-ha-ha… ugh…” Violent Demon’s laugh was short as they all shouted, “The Heaven Reaching Pill!”

Whoosh~

Violent Demon jumped at Kui Gang’s throat as he howled, “Our precious Heaven Reaching Pill! Damn brat, spit it out, now!”

His brothers came to help, pulling and shouting.

“Executives, please, you’re choking him!” Kui Lang said to break them up, knowing he couldn’t do much else. contemporary romance

The Four Scheming Demons were freaky in temper and strength. They might very well take it out on him instead and wouldn’t stop till he was torn to pieces.

While Kui Gang was gasping through the choke hold, he said, “Uncle Zhuo gave it to me. How can I spit it out? And there’s no way one pill is enough for the four of you. You’d be better off asking Uncle Zhuo.”

The four jerked to a halt and nodded to each other.

Without preamble, they shot after Zhuo Fan as trails of smoke.

With them gone, the people breathed easier.

Those pygmies were outrageous, outlandish and impossible. Not only were their brains useless, but they were a ticking time bomb. It was only a matter of time before the four took their heads.

[Just how on earth did Steward Zhuo tame them? He really is a god… ]

The four caught onto Zhuo Fan who was just standing in the shadow of a tree.

They made a beeline for him.

Zhuo Fan grinned, “Took you long enough.”

“Steward Zhuo was waiting for us?” Violent Demon laughed.

Zhuo Fan nodded, “I know your thoughts like it’s my second nature. I knew you were after my pills the minute you said healing the kids will need medicine.”

Whoosh~

An azure glow shot for the four and Violent Demon caught the vial.

“You might not have joined the final battle of Tianyu, but you’re on my side and I don’t skimp on my people.” Zhuo Fan crossed his arms, leaning on the tree, “In there, you have four Heaven Reaching Pills. Split them amongst yourselves.”

Grinning, Violent Demon felt awkward though he had no shame putting the vial in his ring, “He-he-he, with Steward Zhuo as our boss, the way forward is limitless. We may be in the Demon Scheming Sect, but we’ll follow Steward Zhuo through hell and high water!”

“Yep!” The brothers echoed, then turned their angry stare at Violent Demon, “Boss, Steward Zhuo told us to share so why are you hogging them. Take them out!”

Violent Demon spoke with entitlement, “I am the boss, so of course I am the one to keep them.”

“Bullshit!” The other three pygmies raved, raining fists on him.

Zhuo Fan waved to stop them, “Sharing is for you to decide, but later. I need you to do something for me.”

“We await your orders, Steward Zhuo!” The four cupped their hands the next second.

Zhuo Fan said, “As executives, there’s little information you have access to, but you should pick up clues about the elders from their actions. So keep an eye out for the slightest disturbance and report back. And more importantly, see if the elders intend to have Kui Lang and Yue Ling reinstated.”

“Why do you ask, Steward Zhuo? You know that once someone is dumped in the Labor Office, coming out is almost impossible. There hasn’t been a pardon in centuries!” Violent Demon asked puzzled

Zhuo Fan smiled, “When Hu Mei’er went to the Labor Office, she taunted the two. Was it all just showing off and acting smug? She plotted against the juniors just to get to them. In short, help me keep an eye out. If they are to return and I have no choice but to do as Xie Wuyue said, then these two are my ticket into the inner sect. “

The Four Scheming Demons cupped their hands…
