Chapter 64: Just a Demon Slave

  "Lu Ke, we're all adults now, don't play such childish tricks!" Su Qi advised cautiously as she was forced to press against the dinner table by Lu Ke.

  "What does it mean?" Lu Ke asked straightforwardly and confidently, as if he really didn't know anything.

  Su Qi Ruo's anger was about to erupt, but she restrained herself since they were in a public place and didn't want to lose her temper. Moreover, she knew that even if she did get angry, it wouldn't be enough to intimidate Lu Ke. Calm down! Su Qi Ruo, you need to calm down! After taking several deep breaths, Su Qi Ruo finally composed herself and spoke up, "Lu Ke, do whatever you want with your woman, but don't bother me again! If you want to break the Soul Binding Curse, fine, I'll find a way to lift it for you as soon as possible!"

  Lu Ke looked at Su Qi Ruo seriously and calmly asked, "Are you jealous?"

  "No!" Su Qi was refuted by Lu Ke, but she immediately retorted without hesitation, however her eyes couldn't meet Lu Ke's due to her guilty conscience. What a joke! Why would I be jealous? How could I be jealous?!

  Lu Ke ignored Su Qi Ru's reaction and continued to say, "That's right, you're my girlfriend. If you see me with another woman, you should have this kind of reaction. Su Qi Ru, isn't it true that even if you don't want to admit it, your heart has already fallen in love with me?"

  "Narcissist!" Facing such a self-loving declaration, Su Qi couldn't help but want to slap the sole of her shoe on Lu Ke's face.

  Lu Ke gazed at Su Qi's gradually reddening ear tips, a smug smile rising from the corners of his mouth. "Xun'er is just a demon slave, without a doubt, you, my girlfriend are more important. If you don't like her, I can make her leave your line of sight."

  Lu Ke's casual tone made Su Qi Ruo take a deep breath, staring at him in disbelief. What kind of existence was the demon slave? Obviously, Lu Ke and Li Xiang Er looked like an intimate couple, so why could Lu Ke suddenly put their relationship on a level that was beneath his notice? Su Qi Ruo suddenly recalled the scene where she first saw the demon slave, Si Rui Wen's demon slave, being treated like an object by Si Rui Wen. Was Li Xiang Er just slightly better than an object in Lu Ke's heart? For some reason, Su Qi Ruo's heart didn't feel as sour as before, and this tiny change even escaped her own notice.

  Lu Ke calmly gazed back at Su Qi Ruo, Li Xiang Er was indeed a demon slave, but she was a particularly special existence. If one didn't intentionally think about it, they would almost forget her identity. Thinking of Li Xiang Er's obedient appearance, Lu Ke's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of tenderness, only to be quietly concealed by his lowered eyelids, not revealing even a hint of it. "Don't use your narrow-minded mortal thoughts to speculate about the demon clan." Lu Ke reminded at the right time.

  I'm narrow-minded? Su Qi Ruo rolled her eyes at Lu Ke, "What's the relationship between Li Xiang Er and you has nothing to do with me! I don't even want to study your weird demonic tribe!" "Right!" Su Qi Ruo suddenly thought of how she was cleverly diverted from the topic by Lu Ke. "Don't call me your girlfriend, I haven't acknowledged it yet! And I, Su Qi Ruo, don't love you at all! Don't be so self-righteous!"

  Lu Ke dismissed Su Qi's defense with disdain, "Humans always use lies to cover up their inner weakness. However, the fact that you can remember to undo the Soul Binding Curse on me proves that you're not too stupid. But to constantly remind you, it's still necessary to keep a close eye on you, as humans are extremely cunning and forgetful."

  "Nerve disease! All demons are nerve diseases!" Su Qi suddenly felt that she was very childish, and she had not succeeded in persuading Lu Ke several times. How could she be so persistent in persuading him now? Was it really because of Li Xiang'er's reason? Why should she care about Li Xiang'er? What did Li Xiang'er have to do with Lu Ke that concerned her? It must be because there were too many things recently and she was feeling anxious, she needed to go back and rest well! Forget about Lu Ke, this nerve disease, as if he didn't exist!

  "I'm so tired! I've been really exhausted lately!" Su Qiwei fell onto her bed as soon as she returned to her dorm, feeling an inexplicable fatigue that made her feel like she couldn't wake up even after sleeping. It's strange, is it because I've been too busy recently? Yeah, there are exams to prepare for, graduation papers to work on, and a huge pile of postgraduate exam materials to review! Oh my god, there's less than two months left to study! As soon as Su Qiwei thought about these things, she burst into tears. In this critical moment when every second counts, I still have the nerve to participate in that chaotic game "Shen Mo"! Su Qiwei, you're so heartless!

  Promises have been made a thousand times, but rest is still needed! Su Qi closed her tired eyes and thought that her body was the capital of revolution. She would take a short nap and go to self-study later.

  The sky and the earth were a dazzling white, as if shrouded in a huge spotlight. The piercing light was so intense that it was impossible to determine its direction, making people feel uneasy. Was I inside the barrier? Su Qi looked around cautiously, except for being inside the barrier, she couldn't explain the strange scene before her eyes. Wasn't I sleeping in my dormitory? How did I suddenly appear inside the barrier? Had I fallen into the demon clan's trap again? Why was I so unlucky?

  Su Qi Ruo vigilantly looked around in all directions, but everything she saw was a vast expanse of whiteness, making it impossible to distinguish the direction. Su Qi Ruo could only randomly choose a direction and move forward, who cares where she ends up, maybe she'll just walk out of here, Su Qi Ruo comforted herself like this.

  "Is this a wasteland? Su Qiye kicked the pebbles under her feet and walked for four or five hundred meters, but all she saw was yellow-brown soil with no vegetation in sight. When she looked up at the dazzling white surroundings, Su Qiye suddenly felt an endless sense of fatigue. Is this how people who get lost in the desert feel? I don't know where the end is, nor do I know which direction to go. There isn't even a single person to talk to. In such a desolate and hopeless environment, it should be easy for someone to collapse, right?"

  Fortunately, I know I'm in the boundary, so it's not hopeless! Su Qi sat down on the ground, since he couldn't find a way out, he might as well wait here for someone to come and find him. Since they wanted to trap him in the boundary, they would definitely show up. Just waiting like this in the boundary shouldn't be fatal, right?

  Su Qi'er thought about it and really started to wait calmly in place, without any sense of being in a predicament or urgency. Su Qi'er's butt hadn't even warmed up yet when she discovered that the light in front of her wasn't as strong as before, and it seemed like a blurry shadow was approaching her. Who could it be? A demon from the Demon Clan? Or a human from the Human Clan?

  The shadow moved at a speed that wasn't very fast, and Su Qi Ruo stared for half the day without seeing it fully reveal itself, making Su Qi Ruo who had been guessing all along feel somewhat anxious. This feeling was just like taking an exam where you didn't know any of the answers, but weren't allowed to hand in your paper early, leaving one feeling restless and uneasy.

  It's almost time, it's almost time. Su Qi's heart suddenly rose with a hint of excitement, finally able to know the result.

  "I'm out of here!" Su Qi merely took one glance before jumping up from the ground and dashing off in the opposite direction! This is too ridiculous! A genetically mutated caterpillar! It's as sturdy as a train! No wonder there isn't any vegetation left, it's all been devoured by this thing! Who's the pervert that raised this creature inside the boundary? This is too disgusting!
