83: This guy is a devil.

Zhou Zhiruo suddenly snapped back to her senses and shouted to stop him.

"What? You have an idea?" Duan Zhengchun looked at Zhou Zhiruo teasingly.

"I beg of you, leave the Emei Sect a way out."

"As long as you let Senior Sister and the others go, I'll do anything you want," Zhou Zhiruo said, weeping.

"Oh? You think you're in a position to negotiate with me?" Duan Zhengchun looked at Zhou Zhiruo composedly.

It had to be said, Zhou Zhiruo was truly beautiful.

Especially now, crying like a pear blossom in the rain, she evoked a sense of pity.

He was also reluctant to kill such a beautiful woman. Killing her like this would be a bit of a waste.

"Ding! Task triggered: Win over Zhou Zhiruo and get her pregnant. Rewards: Nine Yin Manual, Creation Spirit Fusion Art."

He knew about the Nine Yin Manual, but what was this Creation Spirit Fusion Art? Why had he never heard of it?

However, he didn't ask further. Anyway, as long as he completed the task, he would understand what this Cultivation Technique was.

He didn't want to kill Zhou Zhiruo in the first place, and now that a task had appeared, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"As long as you release them, from now on, I will be yours," Zhou Zhiruo said, taking a deep breath.

"Zhiruo, you mustn't! This guy is a devil; you'll fall into eternal damnation if you do this," Jing Xuan said anxiously, her expression changing.

"Senior Sister, Master and Grandmaster are already dead. I cannot stand by and watch you all die before my eyes."

"If I had known this would be the outcome, I wouldn't have let Grandmaster come even if it meant my death."

"Now, this is all I can do. Consider it a way to repay Master for all the years of upbringing and teaching," Zhou Zhiruo said.

"No, if anyone is to do it, it should be me as the Eldest Senior Sister. Since when was it your turn?"

"Young Master Tang, if you let my Junior Sisters go, I'll be at your disposal. I'll agree to any condition."

"I only beg you to leave the Emei Sect a way out," Jing Xuan said emotionally, looking at Duan Zhengchun.

"Senior Sister..." Zhou Zhiruo's tears flowed uncontrollably.

Duan Zhengchun glanced at Jing Xuan. Although she looked decent, she was still far inferior to Zhou Zhiruo.

Moreover, the System hadn't issued a task, so he naturally wouldn't agree.

"Sorry, your looks aren't up to par."

"So, don't even think about it."

"Zhou Zhiruo, have you made up your mind? Do you really want to do this?" Duan Zhengchun asked.

Jing Xuan's Face stiffened, and for a moment, she didn't know how to respond.

She subconsciously looked at the other women around Duan Zhengchun and then at Zhou Zhiruo.

Indeed, her appearance really couldn't compare to the women around Duan Zhengchun, nor to her Junior Sister, Zhou Zhiruo.

But you bastard, is it really appropriate for you to say that?

Couldn't you find another reason? Why must you use such a hurtful reason to refuse?

Duan Zhengchun's words also left Zhao Min and the others speechless.

This guy really doesn't know how to show any restraint now.

Even if we don't care how many women you have, couldn't you at least consider our Face a little?

If you say it like that, what will people think of you?

A scumbag? A lecher? A rogue?

No matter how they look at it, it certainly won't be a good impression.

"I've decided. As long as you release my Senior and Junior Sisters, I will be yours. I'll do anything you ask," Zhou Zhiruo nodded.

"Seeing how filial you are, I'll give you this chance."

"Actually, I really don't like killing people, and I especially don't like killing women."

"But sometimes I'm also quite helpless; there are always people who like to provoke my bottom line."

"You see, as long as you can apologize sincerely, I'm actually quite easy to talk to, aren't I?" Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.

Everyone... No one expected Duan Zhengchun to say something so shameless.

You don't like killing women? But when you killed Abbess Miejue, you didn't even blink.

Just now, you didn't hesitate at all and killed Ding Minjun directly.

Ding Minjun had already admitted her mistake and begged for mercy, yet she was still killed by your sword through her throat.

However, they didn't dare say this out loud. Who knew if they would anger him? He might be smiling one second and then sending heads rolling the next.

"Hmph, lecher, rogue, shameless..." A Li muttered softly from the side.

Although she was very quiet, the people present were not low in strength and still heard her.

Everyone's expressions were odd; the corners of Zhao Min's mouth curled up.

Xiao Zhao covered her mouth and chuckled, but Daiqisi's expression didn't change much.

Duan Zhengchun's mouth twitched, and he glared at A Li.

The result was a roll of the eyes from A Li.

Duan Zhengchun rubbed his nose. He was also quite helpless; the System task was right there, and he couldn't just not take it.

"Alright, in that case, Zhou Zhiruo stays, and the others can leave."

"However, a word of advice: never provoke me again. Otherwise, I will leave no one alive in the Emei Sect—I'll even shake your eggs until the yolks are scrambled," Duan Zhengchun threatened coldly.

Hearing Duan Zhengchun's words, the Emei Sect Disciples couldn't help but shudder.

This was too ruthless, wasn't it? Even shaking the eggs until the yolks were scrambled—this was truly leaving nothing alive.

But no one doubted Duan Zhengchun's strength.

Who among the Masters in the Jianghu could kill a Great Grandmaster while only in the Grandmaster Realm?

At least, they couldn't do it.

Hearing Duan Zhengchun's words, the other Emei Sect Disciples didn't dare say any words of thanks and turned to run.

They were just ordinary Disciples who joined the Emei Sect only to seek protection.

Now that things had come to this, they didn't want to die. They might as well leave the mundane world, find a good man to marry, and never step into the Jianghu again.

Jing Xuan didn't leave; instead, she looked at Zhou Zhiruo with a complicated gaze.

Most of the people who had run away had joined Mount Emei earlier than Zhou Zhiruo.

Yet, in the end, not a single one stayed. The one who ultimately secured a glimmer of hope for Emei was actually Zhou Zhiruo, Master's youngest Disciple.

"Junior Sister Zhiruo, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for not protecting you all well," Jing Xuan looked at Zhou Zhiruo in pain.

"Senior Sister, don't say that. Thanks to your care over the years, otherwise, I would have died long ago," Zhou Zhiruo shook her head.

"Young Master Tang, I hope you can take good care of my Junior Sister," Jing Xuan said, looking at Duan Zhengchun.

"That's not something you should worry about," Duan Zhengchun said calmly.

"No, you must promise me that you won't bully Junior Sister Zhiruo," Jing Xuan said excitedly.

"Scram. If you don't leave now, you'll never leave," Duan Zhengchun said coldly.

"Senior Sister, stop talking and quickly take the other Junior Sisters and leave."

Jing Xuan wanted to say more, but she was stopped by Zhou Zhiruo.

In the end, Jing Xuan had no choice but to leave with the other Emei Sect Disciples.

After everyone had left, the inn fell into an eerie silence.

Duan Zhengchun turned to look at the Bitter Monk nearby.

The Bitter Monk felt a bit creeped out by Duan Zhengchun's gaze.

He didn't know why Duan Zhengchun was suddenly looking at him with such a gaze.

He was a mute and couldn't speak, so he could only give Duan Zhengchun a smile that was uglier than crying.

"At this point, there's no need to keep pretending, am I right? Right Emissary Fan," Duan Zhengchun suddenly spoke.
