A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 31: This Is My Real Escape Plan!

Li Xuanxiao had become a protector of the Demon Sect.

Hmm, even he hadn’t expected the story to develop in this direction.

A proud and orthodox Mount Shushan disciple like him had actually become a protector of the Demon Sect.

Li Xuanxiao consoled himself—this was just a temporary measure to survive.

As a protector, his job certainly wasn’t to protect Di Nü Feng.

Have you ever seen an ant protecting an elephant?

His main task was to serve Di Nü Feng well.

Pouring tea, bringing water, and things like that~

Fortunately, Di Nü Feng wasn’t into absorbing Pure Yang energy.

After a few days of observation, Li Xuanxiao noticed that Di Nü Feng’s previous injuries hadn’t fully healed.

So, for the most part, she stayed in her cave dwelling to rest.

The mighty leader of the Demon Sect, and yet her only entertainment was playing chess with Li Xuanxiao all day.

And she was a sore loser at that.

She would frequently take back moves and secretly use her magic to shift the pieces...

Li Xuanxiao could only pretend not to notice.

After all, he understood very well—

If he took the game too seriously, Di Nü Feng would most likely grab the chessboard and bash his head in, securing victory outside of the game itself.

He wasn’t going to let Di Nü Feng’s attitude toward him make him feel like he was anything special to her.

Did he think this was some kind of romance game?

"The waves of the mortal world crash endlessly, enduring humiliation with grace is the best remedy.

A rigid bowstring breaks first, a sharp blade dulls the fastest.

Greedy men perish for wealth, hungry birds die for food.

No matter how cunning you are, you cannot escape the yellow earth’s embrace!"

Li Xuanxiao smacked the wooden table and spoke in a loud voice.

"The story I’m telling today isn’t from the present, nor can I say exactly which dynasty it took place in. It happened long, long ago, and it’s called ‘Officialdom Struggles’..."

Across from him, Di Nü Feng was munching on a fragrant fruit, listening intently.

She lounged lazily, one leg crossed over the other, reclining against an exquisite soft couch that seemed to be woven from clouds.

Her eyes, clear as autumn waters, sparkled with an intense, focused light.

Nearby, the guards shot envious, jealous, and resentful glances at Li Xuanxiao.

The moment this guy arrived, the Sect Leader’s attention was entirely on him.

She no longer called them over to play games.

Naturally, that also meant no more rewards. Everyone knew that playing with Di Nü Feng was one of the easiest and most enjoyable tasks.

All you had to do was humor her, let her win, and keep her happy.

Di Nü Feng was generous—whenever she was pleased, her rewards were abundant.

Di Nü Feng was very satisfied with Li Xuanxiao and took him with her wherever she went.

Of course, her attitude was more like how one treats a pet.

Or rather, every single follower in the Demon Cavern was Di Nü Feng’s pet.

She even kept a few "human dogs."

What are human dogs, you ask?

Well, they were once powerful figures who had shaken the world.

Now, Di Nü Feng had crippled their cultivation and kept them in the Demon Cavern, training them like dogs.

They were chained up at the entrance, and every time Di Nü Feng passed by—

The two human dogs would bark flatteringly and stick out their tongues.

Di Nü Feng treated them well too. When she was in a good mood, she would toss them a fruit or a pastry.

She would then watch them scramble for food, a delighted smile on her face.

Of course, there were times when Di Nü Feng wasn’t happy.

For instance, one day, as she was recovering from her injuries, the pain made her grimace.

Then, as she stepped outside, one of the human dogs accidentally splattered saliva onto the hem of her robe.

Without a change in expression, Di Nü Feng stomped down, crushing the human dog’s head.

Li Xuanxiao, who had been serving her, witnessed everything.

The next day, he noticed that the dead human dog at the entrance had already been replaced with a new face.

"......."

Di Nü Feng lazily leaned on her couch, one delicate foot raised high while the other swayed gently.

She wore a luxurious silk gown, its flowing hem spreading like drifting clouds, accentuating her graceful figure and noble elegance.

Meanwhile, Li Xuanxiao sat respectfully below her, carefully holding Di Nü Feng’s delicate foot as he began a gentle foot massage.

His movements were skillful and precise. As Li Xuanxiao continued, a look of satisfaction slowly appeared on Di Nü Feng’s face.

Her long, phoenix-like eyes narrowed slightly, and within the flickering depths of her gaze lay endless allure and charm.

With a faint smile, Di Nü Feng gazed at Li Xuanxiao, "Being my subordinate is far better than being a Mount Shushan disciple, isn’t it?"

"Of course, following the boss is my greatest honor."

Li Xuanxiao knew exactly what that look meant.

Unfortunately for her, he didn’t want to be a dog.

He was a Mount Shushan disciple!!

".........."

That day, Li Xuanxiao, now favored by Di Nü Feng, went to the prison once again to visit Zhang Tianxin.

"Daoist Zhang, you’ve suffered!!"

Zhang Tianxin glanced at Li Xuanxiao’s extravagant attire, a trace of resentment in her expression.

"Why do I feel like you’re actually enjoying yourself here?"

"This is all just an illusion to deceive them! I’ve already obtained the complete map of the Demon Sect’s stronghold. Tonight, you and I will escape!"

"Oh?" Zhang Tianxin’s eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Of course. At the third watch of the night, I’ll come find you."

Li Xuanxiao lowered his voice.

Zhang Tianxin nodded earnestly, her eyes welling with tears.

"Daoist Li, I misjudged you..."

Thinking back on her earlier doubts, Zhang Tianxin couldn’t help but slap herself.

I was such a fool!!

How could I have ever doubted Daoist Li? He’s still working hard, enduring humiliation for the greater goal.

That night, at the third watch.

Li Xuanxiao left Di Nü Feng’s chambers.

Di Nü Feng was sound asleep.

Li Xuanxiao placed a Recording Stone on the table, which continuously played a pre-recorded message of his voice.

Then, he headed to the prison, tricked the guards, and used a copied key to unlock the prison door.

Everything went smoothly.

Zhang Tianxin saw hope in his eyes.

"Daoist Li, where do we go now?"

Li Xuanxiao smiled confidently. "I’ve discovered that the Demon Cavern is filled with hidden tunnels—complicated and dangerous. A single misstep could trigger traps leading to eternal damnation.

However, I obtained a map from Di Nü Feng. You and I will slip away through the secret passages."

Zhang Tianxin nodded eagerly.

What were they waiting for? She couldn’t stay in this place a second longer!

But just as they stepped out, the footsteps of Demon Sect disciples echoed behind them.

"There they are!"

"Chase them!"

Zhang Tianxin's expression changed. "Daoist Li, I think this path is wrong. We've been discovered."

They seemed to have run into a dead end, and now the only escape route was blocked by incoming Demon Sect disciples.

Zhang Tianxin didn’t blame Li Xuanxiao. He simply let out a soft sigh.

"Daoist Li, it seems the heavens do not favor us.

Forget it! Forget it!

If we must die, then we’ll die in battle! We’ll take a few of them down with us!"

Zhang Tianxin tore off his robes, revealing a muscular and well-defined body sculpted like a statue.

His broad shoulders, thick arms, and tight abs all showcased his immense physical strength.

"Daoist Li, see you in the underworld!"

Zhang Tianxin turned to face the approaching Demon Sect disciples, his eyes full of resolve.

"I, Zhang Tianxin of Golden Thunder Sect, will fight you all to the death today!"

The next second, Li Xuanxiao sent him flying into the wall with a powerful kick.

Then, without hesitation, he began ruthlessly punching and kicking him.

"You worthless prisoner! How dare you try to escape?! Brothers, beat him up!!"

The Demon Sect disciples who had been chasing them rushed forward without hesitation, surrounding Zhang Tianxin and kicking him mercilessly.

Once he was beaten to a pulp, Li Xuanxiao finally stopped them.

A Golden Core Stage disciple shouted angrily, "Take him to the Number One Cell! Let him experience what real punishment feels like! Let's see if he dares to escape again!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, a few Demon Sect disciples dragged the badly beaten Zhang Tianxin—who was now so disfigured even his own mother wouldn’t recognize him—toward the Number One Cell.

Zhang Tianxin barely managed to open his swollen eyes. He looked at Li Xuanxiao, his lips trembling.

"Sniff sniff... I... ***** mother..."

Li Xuanxiao wiped away a drop of blood splattered on his forehead. "Why do I feel like I just heard someone cursing my mother?"

".........."

Number One Cell.

Zhang Tianxin lay half-dead on the ground.

Compared to this place, all the torture he had previously endured felt like child’s play.

Here, he was experiencing the cruelest torments of the mortal world.

Torments so intense, they might even bring back memories of his past life.

Di Nü Feng might seem a little foolish at times, but she was never soft when dealing with her enemies.

Otherwise, how could Tian Sha Hall have become the most feared Demon Sect in Central State?

At this moment, Li Xuanxiao appeared again.

"Daoist Zhang, are you alright?"

Zhang Tianxin: ............

What do you think?

"Daoist Zhang, our plan is already halfway to success!" Li Xuanxiao said confidently.
