The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"Ever since that incident, I've been living a life worse than death. If I die now, it would be a good thing," Yunlou said casually. Then, as if remembering something, he suddenly realized, "Oh, look! I forgot. I can't die. If I die, how are you going to prove to others how tolerant you are of the old man's bloodline?"

"You! Don't go too far!"

"So what if I go too far?" Yunlou asked provocatively.

Yun Luo was about to explode when Situ Yaorao pulled him back, forcing him to suppress his anger again. "I brought you here for a reason," he said.

"Oh? I wonder what the reason is?"

"Back then, what happened to you was indeed my fault. Because of my impulsiveness, I made you unable to live without a woman anymore. So I am willing to bear all the consequences."

"How can I bear it? Do I want you to become like me? If you can't do it, you'd better not say anything. It will only make me even angrier." Yunlou said coldly.

"I...you really need the blood of Yue Hua Zhi Du, right?" Yun Luo said lightly. Yun Lou was slightly surprised when he heard this.

"Miss Situ, who is beside me, has been poisoned by the Moonlight Poison. As long as you are willing to stay here and promise not to do anything to those women again, and to find a loved one and live a peaceful life, Miss Situ is willing to provide you with blood so that you can practice. However, if you do not agree, then this deal will be void."

Yun Luo said with a grim expression.

Yun Lou was slightly surprised when he heard this: "You actually managed to get her to agree on her own initiative? What kind of deal did you use?"

"This has nothing to do with you. As long as you agree, you can stay." Yun Luo said.

Hearing this, Yun Lou gave the man a complicated look and smiled strangely: "Haha, I didn't expect that after all these years, you are still so stupid."

"You want to fight?" Yun Luo was angry.

"Do you really think that the harm you did to me back then can be solved with a drop of blood? Don't make me laugh. I will not forgive you. And I won't do as you say." After saying that, Yunlou was about to leave.

"You! Are you really going to be so stubborn?!"

"That's my business and has nothing to do with you. Stay out of my business and be the leader of your own cult." After saying that, Yunlou jumped out of the window and escaped.

"Damn it!" Yun Luo overturned the table in anger.

Situ Yaorao watched the scene indifferently until he had vented his anger and sat dejectedly on the ground. Then Situ Yaorao said, "Have you had enough?"

"sorry for bothering you."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you've made enough trouble. I'm not interested in what you think or what you want to do. But since he doesn't agree, you should fulfill your promise to me and bring him to justice." Situ Yaorao said.

"I understand." Yun Luo said in a hoarse and somewhat desperate voice.

Although Situ Yaorao felt pity for him, she didn't say anything. There were many people who were more pitiful than him. There were also many women who were heartbroken because of his momentary weakness.

"Yunlou, don't just think about yourself. Those women are even more wronged and wronged."

"I know. Although I am a demon, I know what I should do."

"I'm glad you understand. If he's willing to change his mind within three days, our agreement will still be there. But if he's not willing, then don't think about it anymore." Situ Yaorao said.

Yun Luo nodded after hearing this.

"Then I'll go out first, you should calm down."

Situ Yaorao left the room, leaving Yunluo alone. Yunluo looked at the mess and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Perhaps, this was all his own fault.

Back then, Yun Lou's practice of evil magic had caused panic within the sect, and with the election for a leader approaching, he didn't want to see the cult his father had built decline. Nor did he want to see the centuries-old sect vanish like this, so he took action. This led to Yun Lou's hatred for him, and also to the current state of the cult.

Back then, because his actions were not honorable, some members of the Demon Cult supported him, while others despised him. Recently, however, many had headed straight for the Cloud Tower, causing chaos within the Demon Cult. As the leader of the Demon Cult, he could only hide here, waiting to see what their intentions were.

He knew Yunlou wasn't a good person, but if he were asked to bring him to justice, he couldn't bring himself to do it. However, if he didn't act, he might die, or even implicate the Demon Cult and Situ Yaorao. It was like a vicious cycle. The only way to break it was to interrupt one of them.

The clouds parted, and sunlight streamed down onto the deserted streets. Yunlou struggled to leave the vicinity of Lanyi Pavilion, then spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground. At the same moment, a man in bright red landed in front of him. His face was fair, but a swirl of red tear lines ran down the corners of his eyes, extending down to his lips. He looked quite alluring.

He looked coldly at Yun Lou who was lying on the ground, as if he was looking at an ant.

"Master." Yunlou struggled to get up and looked at the man with a hoarse voice.

"But is the poison taking effect?" the man asked coldly. Yunlou nodded.

"Oh! How foolish! You want to escape my control just because of a small favor from others, just because of a small benefit? How ridiculous."

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Master."

"I'm curious, what method did they use to make you want to betray me?" The man looked at Yunlou and sneered.

"Blood of the Moonlight Poison." The man closed his eyes and uttered these words. This surprised the man in red slightly: "Oh? That's interesting. So, where is the person who was poisoned?"

"The person who was poisoned is the eldest daughter of the Situ family, and now the owner of Lan Yi Pavilion. My brother is hiding here too."

"So that's how it is. I understand. You may leave now. Don't worry, as long as you don't waver, the poisonous insect will naturally stop tormenting you. Also... since you are someone close to me, the officials of Lanlin wouldn't dare to touch you even if they had ten times the courage. Just do what I ask you to do."

The man said calmly.

Yunlou's eyes dimmed slightly when he heard this.

"Once you have done what I asked you to do, I will fulfill your wish. I will find you a woman who can move your heart, and I will allow you to leave the Lanlin Dynasty."

The man patiently persuaded Yunlou, and as soon as he spoke, Yunlou's last bit of struggle finally disappeared. He could only reluctantly say, "Yes, Master. I will definitely not let you down."

"Yeah." The man in red said, and then disappeared.

Yun Lou's face was ashen. He struggled to look at the backyard of Lan Yi Pavilion, and finally sneered, "Perhaps, everything is destined. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

With that, Yunlou struggled to leave.

And here, nothing was left. It was as if the scene just now had never happened.

Situ Yaorao felt a little regretful for not being able to persuade Yunlou. Sitting in the lobby, eating the cakes made by Lian'er, Situ Yaorao and Yusheng discussed what they would do next in the restaurant.

Ever since Yu Sheng drank that wine, she'd been convinced that Situ Yaorao's restaurant would be a success. Businesspeople don't work without profit, and while Yu Sheng might not enjoy being a businessman, she was a businessman in her blood. Habitually, she'd pay more attention to profitable ventures.

"Situ, the price of this wine cannot be too low. Also, we must find a good chef. If good wine is not paired with good dishes, no matter how good the wine is, it will be useless." Yu Sheng said seriously.

Situ Yaorao's mouth twitched when she heard this. "I know that too, but look at the people here. Apart from their looks, what else can they eat? Obviously, we can't expect them to be chefs. And good chefs are hard to come by."

"As for the chef, if you don't have any special requirements, I do have an introduction. It's just... you'll need to put in a little more effort, Situ." Yu Sheng looked at Situ Yaorao and frowned slightly. Obviously, he wasn't too happy to mention this person.

"Who is it?" Situ Yaorao couldn't help but become curious when she saw the man like this.

"He's a friend I met when I was still in the Yu family. He's a weird guy, but what he makes is pretty good. We're considered friends, but we rarely interact because he's so weird when he does things." Yu Sheng frowned tightly, as if he was thinking of something bad.
