Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

"Kid, go faster, keep up!"

"Ok?"

"Just a friendly reminder, don't regret it later."

Faced with such a cryptic reminder from the system, Su Liang still quickly caught up.

It's always better to do something than not to do it at all.

At least, your regret will have some merit.

Just like last time when I proposed to Jun Hongyan, I was tricked by that damn system... It's the same principle!

At the same time.

Deep in the dense jungle.

A beautiful figure fled for her life, disheveled and covered in blood.

Beneath a pair of arched, willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows were a pair of dark, clear eyes.

Her black hair was flying everywhere, making it difficult to see her face clearly. One could only vaguely make out that her face was pale and covered in blood.

She was wearing a purple dress, but it was torn and tattered, as if she had been running for too long and was getting slower and slower.

But the girl kept her red lips tightly pressed together, unwilling to give up.

That was an extreme desire to live!

Behind her, however, were figures relentlessly pursuing her, closing in in an instant.

Su Lian continued walking, but her breathing was already extremely disordered.

Having heard the shouts of the Celestial Masters sect, Su Lian already understood her fate.

She parted her lips slightly and let out a long, unwilling sigh.

Disciples of the Celestial Masters sect flocked to the scene.

"Witch, don't run away!"

A celestial master was already within arm's reach of Su Lian, and with a wave of his hand, he unleashed a palm strike.

"Pfft!"

The palm strike, though not particularly powerful, sent Su Lian's body crashing to the ground.

The Celestial Master stopped when he saw that Su Lian could no longer escape.

Several other celestial masters arrived one after another and surrounded Su Lian in the center.

"Why...why do you want to kill me?"

Su Lian was very puzzled, her whole body heaving as she asked the Taoist masters with all her might.

At this moment, Su Lian felt mostly despair and helplessness.

“Those who are not of our kind shall be killed.”

"But you... have even greater value to me."

One of the Taoist priests stepped forward, sneering repeatedly.

The other celestial masters remained silent, their cold gazes falling upon Su Lian, filled with a chilling light that sent shivers down her spine.

Perhaps death isn't such a bad option?

"I don't understand."

Su Lian laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Although I am a demon, I have never done anything evil, harmed anyone or taken lives since I was born."

"And you, you attracted demon soldiers to attack the village, and then ignored it."

"Now they're even trying to capture me, triggering an even more severe catastrophe. Who's really more like the demon?"

however.

The members of the Celestial Masters sect remained calm.

"For the greater good, anything can be sacrificed."

"You witch is best at bewitching people, don't think you can fool us!"

The several Taoist masters snorted coldly, ignoring Su Lian's words.

The most radical one wielded a magic sword crackling with lightning, clearly intending to teach the girl a lesson she would never forget.

And at this very moment!

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a blazing spear light flashed in the sky, followed closely by a fierce gust of wind as a spear pierced through the air, instantly forcing all the Celestial Masters to retreat.

"Who goes there!?"

As everyone looked on in surprise and uncertainty, they all turned around to look.

All that could be seen was a young man holding a headless spear, walking step by step, each step filled with a powerful pressure.

The visitor was none other than Su Liang!

During the walk.

[Optional quest triggered: Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda, but alas, I am a villain.]

[Saving lives: No reward, and you will be placed on the Celestial Masters' kill list.]

[No Rescue: Reward: Supreme Crimson Dawn Technique.]

"A boring choice."

Su Liang acted as if he hadn't seen anything, his steps firm and unwavering.

At this time.

The system then patiently explained,

"You must choose carefully. This is a supreme cultivation technique. Once you master it, few in the entire world will be able to rival you."

"That girl is not human!"

Su Liang curled his lip.

"Enough with the nonsense, I've made up my mind."

"Besides, whether someone is human or demon has never been important to me; I only believe what I see!"

Su Liang looked in the direction of the girl, whose eyes, unlike those of the demon soldiers and generals before, were filled with purity and helplessness.

"If I've misjudged the situation, then I'll take matters into my own hands!"

苏良

He let out a soft sigh, as if he had made up his mind.

They've all become the future world-destroying empress's fiancés, so what in the world can't be changed?

Go ahead and do it again if you dare!

(Guess the new character!)

Chapter Seventeen: I'm Taking Her Away Today

"Fine, fine, see for yourself!"

"That's all I have to say. If you don't want to listen, then forget it."

The system's tone seemed to be filled with helplessness towards Su Liang.

It was as if they had already seen through Su Liang's plan and knew he would not follow the expected path.

Yeah, it's all set up, you definitely won't leave.

Just then.

"Who dares to interfere in the affairs of my Celestial Masters Sect?"

One of the Taoist masters stepped forward first, pointed a sword finger at Su Liang, and asked.

Su Liang raised his head slightly, and only then could the group of celestial masters see his face clearly.

Following closely behind, an even stronger chill became apparent.

Then Su Liang held the Broken Army sword horizontally in his hand, and gently pointed it at the front of him. An invisible aura pierced through the sky and went away.

"what!"

A shrill scream echoed across the wilderness, and the sword finger that the Celestial Master who had stepped forward earlier had pointed at Su Liang was severed cleanly.

However, that was not all. With the next breath, the Taoist priest was lying on his back on the ground, and a horrific, fatal wound could be seen on his chest.

"Don't point weapons at people, I'm scared."

Su Liang gave a calm reminder.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Several celestial masters were startled upon seeing this scene.

"What are we waiting for? Quickly take him down, lest we delay the important affairs of the Celestial Masters Sect."

Obviously, nobody cares about his problem.

The other Taoist priests walked towards Su Liang after the Taoist priest holding the Taoist sword gave the order.

They all drew their Dao swords, gripping the hilt with one hand while pulling out yellow talismans with the other.

When Su Liang saw these people enter, he didn't bother with any words and directly took out the Po Jun sword.

After several days of honing his skills, he also came to understand a principle.

It's often easier to hit than to talk!

The Taoist priests stood three steps away from him, each gripping their Taoist swords tightly in front of them, and affixing yellow talismans to their swords.

Before the yellow talismans could take effect, Su Liang had already knocked them down with a single spear thrust.
