DEM Chapter 7: A Fallen Righteous Saintess?

Regardless, the Brahma Pure Demon Heart brought only benefits, with no apparent downsides so far.

Su Yuan was quite satisfied with this task reward.

After completing the newbie task, he worked a shift at the neighborhood security department, returning to his rented apartment at midnight.

Tomorrow was the start of the school term, so Su Yuan didn’t stay up late. After washing up, he went straight to bed.

The past three days had been hectic, leaving him somewhat exhausted.

While sleeping, the Brahma Pure Demon Heart’s effects became evident. Normally, no matter how tired, he’d force himself to scroll on his phone before bed. But with this demonic heart, when he decided to sleep, he slept without a single stray thought.

No more worrying about insomnia.

At five in the morning, he woke up refreshed and stepped out of his room to find Chu Lanxi in pajamas, lounging comfortably on the couch.

Noticing his fingers tapping away on his phone screen, Su Yuan’s eyes lit up, and he asked, “Lanxi, are you ordering takeout?”

Chu Lanxi’s gaze shifted from his phone to Su Yuan, and he smiled slightly. “Want some too? Call me ‘foster father’ first.”

Su Yuan’s face immediately showed a conflicted expression, but he reluctantly muttered “foster father.”

As conjugate father and son, Su Yuan and Chu Lanxi had called each other “foster father” countless times, so Su Yuan didn’t actually mind.

His hesitation was just to give Chu Lanxi, his “dear son,” a full dose of emotional satisfaction.

Yes, this was part of their playful dynamic.

Chu Lanxi looked pleased. “Your father will buy breakfast for his dear son.”

So, as usual, Su Yuan sat back to wait for breakfast.

Soon, the sound of a flying sword whooshed outside. The delivery guy hurriedly dropped off the breakfast before being nabbed by Security Uncle Wang.

Catching the delivery from his bedside, Su Yuan greeted, “Uncle Wang, busy as ever?”

Uncle Wang nodded, looking at Su Yuan as if he were a piece of unpolished jade, and said warmly, “School starts today, right? Focus on your studies. It’s fine to come to work a bit later in the evening.”

Su Yuan’s heart warmed, and he was about to respond when Uncle Wang added, “The past couple of days, a prodigy emerged in the delivery world, with talent likely on par with yours. Don’t slack off on your Eighteen Divine Pitchfork Forms. Both the delivery and security worlds are watching for a showdown between you two.”

Su Yuan: “…”

Why did he suddenly feel guilty?

Su Yuan, you’re a man steeped in sin.

He mumbled a response, quickly brought the breakfast to the table, and he and Chu Lanxi demolished it in no time.

After tidying up, they changed into their school uniforms and headed out.

At five-forty, they arrived at the school gates.

Taihua High School started classes at six, so their arrival was neither early nor late.

Looking at the familiar Taihua High School and the bustling students entering, a surge of bold ambition rose in Su Yuan’s chest!

He was no longer the same!

Brahma Pure Demon Heart, Eighteen Divine Pitchfork Forms, and… the Wreak Havoc System!

The rise of a generation’s demon lord would begin here! Heh heh heh!

With these thoughts, Su Yuan strode confidently into the campus.

The next second, a crisp ding-dong rang in his mind.

[You have entered the righteous Taihua Sect!]

???

Was the system up to its tricks again?

[As a Taihua Sect disciple infiltrating their ranks, you have already begun to devise an extremely nefarious plan, named the Taihua Collapse Plan!]

What the hell was this Taihua Collapse Plan? Couldn’t it come up with something original? He wasn’t some Orochimaru!

[The Taihua Collapse Plan aims to sow chaos in Taihua Sect, luring its righteous disciples into the demonic path, secretly building your forces, and ultimately using the sect as a stepping stone to infiltrate top-tier righteous sects, achieving the goal of embedding yourself within the enemy!]

[Mainline Villain Task Triggered]

[Task 1: Saint’s Fall (Incomplete)]

[As the future demon lord, for the sake of the demonic path’s growth, please lure a righteous Taihua Sect disciple into the demonic path. The higher the target’s talent and status, the richer the reward!]

[Task Progress: Task Target Not Selected]

[Task Reward: To Be Determined]

[Task 2: Secret Invasion (In Progress)]

[Born from humble origins, you urgently need cultivation resources to advance. Please seize resources that don’t belong to you, strengthening yourself and the demonic path’s momentum!]

[Task Progress: Resources Seized (0/100)]

[Task Reward: Demonic Technique · Spirit Finger]

Staring at the two tasks that appeared on the system interface, Su Yuan suppressed the urge to curse this ridiculous Taihua Collapse Plan and carefully studied the tasks.

After some analysis, his brow furrowed slightly.

These tasks were tricky. Luring someone to the demonic path and seizing sect resources didn’t seem like something he could solve by working part-time jobs.

As expected, the Wreak Havoc System, a demonic golden finger, wouldn’t keep dishing out harmless tasks like before.

But as an ordinary person with average talent, he couldn’t ignore the system tasks. He’d have to figure out how to complete them later.

By now, Su Yuan had reached his classroom, Taihua High School’s Senior Year Class Two.

He closed the system panel and sat down next to Chu Lanxi.

After sitting, recalling the task details, Su Yuan instinctively glanced at Chen Nuoyi, the radiant girl sitting in the front row.

As the sacred top student, ranked among the top three in the school, she’d probably be considered a righteous saintess by the system. If he could pull her into the demonic path…

Forget the system rewards for a second, that thought alone was kind of thrilling!

The moment this idea crossed his mind, an ominous ding-dong sounded in his head.

[Task Target Selected, Task Updated.]

???

Come on, bro!

This is slander! I was just thinking casually, not actually planning to make the class monitor my target!

But the deed was done.

[Task 1: Fallen Saintess (Saint’s Fall) (Incomplete)]

[Roar, choosing Taihua Sect’s saintess as your target? Such confidence already shows the makings of a demon lord! Use any means necessary to make the righteous saintess fall, and toy with her in the palm of your hand!]

[Task Progress: Saint Fall Degree: 0%]

[Task Reward: Demonic Technique · Fate Finger]

[Saint Fall Degree: 0% (Cap 20%)]

[Note: Task completes when the saintess’s fall degree reaches 20%.]

[Further Note: The ‘Five Fingers’ demonic technique series is exclusive to the mainline task ‘Taihua Collapse Plan.’ If the task fails, subsequent techniques will be permanently unobtainable.]

Su Yuan: “…”

System, you’re ruthless, copying gacha game mechanics!

It even nailed the essence with limited-time tasks and exclusive sets.

Now he really had no choice but to complete the task!
