Sorry but I only accept female disciples!

38  Devil?!

"No, I can't accept you as my disciple."

Eh?

Xue Hua was startled to hear this and lowered her head, disheartened by his answer.

She stood up and cupped her hands "Forgive me..."

Mei Yu hurriedly came to Zhang Yuan as he settled himself on the bench "My Lord... why can't you accept Little Sister Hua as your disciple?"

Ming Yuelin also felt kind of bad for Xue Hua. Because she is a demon...

"My Lord, you didn't accept her as a disciple because she is a demon?" Mei Yu asked looking at Zhang Yuan who was sitting on the bench.

Zhang Yuan shook his head and glanced at Xue Hua "It is because she is using forbidden powers. But forget that... she has sold her soul to the devil."

"Why should I train a disciple knowing well that she is going to die in 6 months?"

Mei Yu frowned upon hearing this. Yeah... which Master would want their disciple to die?

H-Huh? Sold her soul to the devil? Ming Yuelin was confused to hear this and looked at Mei Yu puzzled 'She will die in 6 months?'

Xue Hua's eyes quivered 'That was the reason?'

Letting out a sigh she spoke, "It's not like I chose that power willingly. At that time... I was desperate. Desperate to survive..."

"So I had no other choice but to summon the Devil and sell my soul to it. If I hadn't borrowed those forbidden powers, I would have died in my homeland months ago."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan showed a faint smile "So if you had a choice where you can escape from that tragedy without selling your soul. Will you choose that?"

Xue Hua frowned slightly upon hearing this 'Without forbidden powers... I would not survived, but in the case I survived without the forbidden powers... I still can't take my revenge.'

'I am not talented or a genius... so I can't take my revenge without forbidden powers.'

'However, in the end, I still couldn't kill Hong Shi with this forbidden power... so is it really worth it?'

She shook her head "No, I would not have chosen this."

The smile on Zhang Yuan's lips widened "Very well said..."

*swoossh* In the next instant, enormous red runic patterns appeared on the ground startling Mei Yu and Ming Yuelin.

"M-Master? What is this?" Ming Yuelin cried out in panic.

However, Xue Hua who was well familiar with these runic patterns glowing on the ground; her eyes shook "R-Ritual to summon the devil?"

*WOOOSSHH* In the next instant, an enormous amount of profound energy is concentrated in front of Zhang Yuan.

Xue Hua was startled to feel the concentration of the profound energy because the time she summoned the devil, she barely had any energy so the summon was not flashy like this.

A red beam condensed from the runes and then it disappeared as the red light swirled around to form a human figure.

The red energy disappeared and a stunning woman with long black hair and darker red eyes appeared, even her lips were black.

Ming Yuelin's eyes trembled in shock "This is... Devil? And this evil energy around it..." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"The Devil..." Xue Hua muttered under her lips. But why did he summon this? Once you summon this... you must have to give something for sacrifice.

The woman's red eyes glanced down at the handsome man sitting on the bench and she extended her head "Pitiful human... why did you summon me? You need my power?" it asked in a devilish voice, a smirk stretching on its lips.

Pitiful human? Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes and Mei Yu who was beside him raged in anger.

"Pitiful human? Do you know whose presence you are in right now? You dared to breathe In front of him?"

Hm? The woman turned her gaze to Mei Yu and her eyes squinted "For a human... you are barking like a dog."

"Dared to breathe in front of him? Tch, the other humans will pale in comparison with his appearance. But in the end... he is a human who summoned me, thirsty for powers."

Zhang Yuan leisurely leaned back on the bench and a mumble escaped his lips "Pitiful human... first time hearing someone call me that." as he said a gold glint flickered in his eyes.

*gasp* The woman's pupils dilated in utter shock feeling the aura around Zhang Yuan and her heart screamed in fear.

What is he? What is he? What is he? What is he? What is he? What is he? What is he? What is he? What is he? What is he? What is he? What is he? What the hell is he?!!!

*thud* Feeling the intense coercion pressing on her; her floating body fell to the ground, pressed on the floor.

"Urgghhhhhh!!!" She felt a searing pain course through her body and screamed in dread. "ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!"

Hearing her shrill cry of the devil, Ming Yuelin and Mei Yu's hearts shook in terror. What happened... just now?

Xue Hua slowly turned her head to Zhang Yuan and saw his goldeneyes glowing in a mesmerizing light. What did he... do? Even the devil itself is crying in pain?

"ARGHHHHHH!!!! F-FORGIV- ARGHHH"

The woman moved her body despite the excruciating pain and kneeled on the floor "Urghh!"

"Hmm.. For a replica of the Death Goddess, you are quite arrogant." Zhang Yuan mused under his breath and tapped the space beside him.

With a proud smile, Mei Yu sat beside him on the bench, and he wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

The woman raised her head and her eyes trembled as she felt her gaze become blurry from the intense pain.

This is the first time, she has ever felt this much pain because there was no one who could hurt her and she was absolute.

However now...

'I can't get in contact with the Goddess of Death...'

There are so many worlds under the influence of the Goddess of Death, so she has placed her replicas as the Devil for each world to oversee it.

"I-I humbly beseech your forgiveness, as I have failed to fully understand your esteemed identity. May I respectfully ask, w-who might you be?"

Zhang Yuan spoke in an indifferent tone "You don't need to know that. Apologize to her too."

The Devil turned her eyes to Mei Yu and saw the cocky smirk on her lips. Despite being irritated by being looked down on by a human, she humbled and bowed her head.

"Please accept this one's apology. I have eyes, yet I failed to recognize Mt.Tai."

Ming Yuelin and Xue Hua snapped out of their daze and looked at Zhang Yuan in bewilderment.

Just... who is he?
