Chapter 28 - The Empress's Secret Thoughts and the Demon Sovereign's Selfish Motives
“This sovereign isn't late, am I~?”
Lin Fan, dressed in a casual shirt and shorts, wearing slippers, and with his hands in his pockets, swaggered over the broken door and into the room.
Hai Kun and Longyue both turned their heads, their faces filled with astonishment.
“Y-You, who are you?! Who let you in?!”
Hai Kun looked as if he had seen a ghost, his disbelief making him raise a trembling finger.
For the sake of his… business, the door to his office was specially made to be extra thick and soundproof. Even a special forces soldier might not be able to break it down, yet the man before him had shattered it with a single kick!
Where did this Mighty Vajra Leg come from?!
Lin Fan glanced coldly at Hai Kun and, without another word, walked straight up to him, grabbed his head, and lifted his nearly 150 kg body into the air with one hand.
“Who this sovereign is doesn’t matter. What’s important is that you have offended this sovereign!”
“The likes of you are fit to call yourself a Demon Sovereign?”
With that said, with a "bang," Lin Fan slammed his entire upper body directly into the adjacent wall, leaving a big butt hanging on the wall.
“Empress, how are you? Are you alright?”
After dealing with Hai Kun, Lin Fan walked directly over to Longyue and asked with a smile on his face.
Longyue stared at the Lin Fan who had appeared before her, a look of astonishment on her face.
“De-Demon Sovereign…? What are you doing here?”
“I thought about it and was still a bit worried about you going out alone, so I followed you.”
Lin Fan smiled, extremely glad that he had secretly followed her.
Not long after Longyue left, he had been sitting at his computer desk feeling vexed and agitated, unable to write peacefully. So, in the end, he decided to secretly follow behind Longyue, just in case.
In order to conserve unnecessary spiritual energy, he chose the most primitive method of secretly tailing her.
He just hadn't expected that Longyue, in order to save those few tens of yuan on a taxi fare, would take several buses, nearly causing him to lose her.
Fortunately, in the end, he still managed to successfully follow her all the way here.
“You, you were following this Empress the whole time?”
Longyue’s fine brows furrowed slightly, unable to believe that she had been secretly followed all this way without noticing in the slightest.
“Yes, but it’s a good thing this sovereign followed you, isn't it?”
Lin Fan smiled slightly, admitting it frankly.
Longyue was speechless, unable to say any words of blame. Instead, her heart was filled with incomparable relief and gratitude.
If the Demon Sovereign hadn't followed her here, perhaps she would have already been defiled by that scoundrel…
At this thought, she couldn't help but feel a wave of fear, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She was not afraid of death and could face it calmly, but she absolutely could not accept being drugged and defiled, her innocence destroyed!
“Alright, it’s okay now. Can you get up?”
Lin Fan gently patted Longyue’s head to comfort her.
Longyue looked up with dissatisfaction, her pretty face showing a hint of embarrassment.
“This Empress was drugged, my body can’t exert any strength…”
“I will take you home.”
Without another word, Lin Fan scooped Longyue up in a princess carry and walked straight over the broken door, leaving the company building.
As for Hai Kun? If he was lucky enough to survive, he would still have to spend the rest of his life in a vegetative state on a bed.
On the street, Lin Fan carried Longyue and swaggered along, disregarding the stares of others. Passersby couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the two of them.
“De-Demon Sovereign, this Empress’s body has recovered a bit of strength, I can walk by myself…”
A faint blush rose on Longyue’s cheeks as she spoke in a small voice from within Lin Fan’s arms.
For her, a majestic Empress of the Immortal Realm, to be lying in someone’s arms like a little girl was truly too embarrassing to speak of…
“Alright, but don’t force yourself.”
Lin Fan slowly put Longyue down. The moment her feet touched the ground, she nearly lost her balance and fell, but fortunately, he quickly and promptly supported her.
“See? You haven’t fully recovered yet, have you?”
Lin Fan said, slightly chidingly, offering his arm as a crutch for her to hold onto for support.
Longyue leaned on his shoulder, her hands wrapped around his arm, taking one step at a time.
The effects of the drug in her body had not yet completely dissipated. Her legs were weak, and she could only walk in this manner.
Because they were so close, she could smell a masculine scent wafting from Lin Fan. Feeling his firm and strong arm, her gaze couldn't help but secretly drift towards him.
How had she never discovered it before? The Demon Sovereign actually seems quite good-looking, his physique is not bad either, and he doesn’t seem as bad as she had imagined, countless times better than that scoundrel!
If it were the Demon Sovereign…
At this thought, Longyue’s face turned red. She quickly and frantically shook her head, stopping that ‘terrifying’ thought in her mind.
Longyue! Oh, Longyue! What are you doing! Don’t forget, you are the Empress of the Immortal Realm, how could you have such a terrifying thought!
I’ve heard that in the Demon Realm, there is a type of demon that is born with a bewitching constitution. Perhaps the Demon Sovereign also has this ability. It must be that my spiritual energy is insufficient, and I have been unwittingly bewildered by the Demon Sovereign!
That’s right! It must be so!
“Empress, what’s wrong?”
Watching Longyue suddenly shaking her head to herself, Lin Fan couldn't help but worry.
Could it be that the man not only gave her a knockout drug but also ecstasy pills?
“N-Nothing…”
Longyue replied perfunctorily with a blushing face. Then, thinking of how the hard-won interview today had regrettably fallen through, her face couldn't help but show deep disappointment.
“Demon Sovereign, this Empress’s actor interview failed…”
“It’s alright. It’s good that it failed. This sovereign actually didn't really want you to become an actress in the first place.”
Lin Fan smiled nonchalantly, not caring at all, and even felt a secret delight in his heart.
Once she became an actress, she might not be able to handle the various social problems of the entertainment circle she would have to face in the future.
Besides, becoming an actress also meant that during filming, there might inevitably be scenes that required physical contact with other male actors…
“Why?”
Hearing that Lin Fan didn't want her to become an actress, Longyue couldn't help but feel curious.
It was clearly he who had suggested she interview for an acting role in the first place, but now that he heard her interview had failed, he seemed rather happy about it…
“Hmm…”
Lin Fan’s expression was pensive. He glanced at the Longyue beside him and smiled slightly, but did not answer.
“Demon Sovereign, you look very suspicious, you know!”
Longyue’s eyes narrowed, her expression growing more and more suspicious.
She had a feeling that the Demon Sovereign was hiding something from her!
“Let’s not talk about this. What do you want to eat tonight?” Lin Fan casually changed the subject.
The moment she heard the word "eat," Longyue’s eyes lit up, but then she thought about how she still hadn’t found a job, and her eyes dimmed again.
“This Empress still hasn't found a job, I have no appetite…”
This job search was like a large rock pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
The thought of being penniless, unable to buy the things she liked, and unable to pay the rent, put more pressure on her than when she was in closed-door cultivation breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm…
Looking at the disappointed and forlorn Longyue, Lin Fan suddenly thought of a certain person and spoke to comfort her:
“Don’t worry. It’s just a job. This sovereign has other methods!”
