The eyes beneath the bed were indeed born with an exquisite charm. Yet, this allure was but their outward form, not the divine radiance that ought to dwell within. And how could one expect emotion from a serpent demon who had slaughtered her own clan of over a thousand?

Time flowed on, unmarked. Within those emotionless eyes, subtle ripples began to stir, like a placid lake troubled by a sudden breeze, bringing life to the stillness. Unexpectedly, a hint of almost innocent confusion surfaced within them. Perhaps even she couldn’t fathom why demons would still intrude upon a room already searched by Lu Qilang. Or why, by such a strange coincidence, this inn was actually the private property of Yuan Mengji. Of course, the most bizarre twist of fate was that they were audacious enough to plot her demise right before her eyes!

By now, those unwelcome guests had scattered. The beautiful female demon of the serpent clan “swam” out from under the bed. She seemed to float on air, tumbling through imaginary clouds, still taking care not to touch anything in the room, leaving no trace of her passage. Her lithe form hovered in the air as she slowly cast her gaze about, meticulously observing every corner of the room. Lu Qilang had observed it, Yuan Mengji had observed it, and now it was her turn.

In the mirror world, Jiang Wang silently gripped his sword, holding his breath. He knew that his earlier prompting of Yuan Mengji to look under the bed had ultimately stirred a flicker of suspicion in She Gu Yu – perhaps not a suspicion that someone remained in the room, but at the very least, a doubt about the room itself. Why else would Yuan Mengji have been searching there?

Jiang Wang did not underestimate the power of a newly ascendant king on the Heavenly List. He had some inkling of Lion Shan’s strength, which was formidable in all aspects, lacking only the tempering of life-or-death trials. And such tempering was something this one, known as the Crimson Moon King, She Gu Yu, certainly did not lack. After all, she had once unleashed a torrent of blood, and she had endured months of relentless pursuit across the lands. The power that such an expert, seasoned in slaughter, could unleash in a life-or-death moment was truly terrifying.

If not absolutely necessary, Jiang Wang would never choose to face her, especially not in his current wounded state. But sometimes, beyond gripping the sword, there was no other choice. Fate, how it toyed with him! Although the thousand-year Dragon-Tiger Ginseng had yet to arrive and his physical injuries were far from healed, if She Gu Yu truly sensed something amiss, it might well devolve into a desperate, life-and-death struggle. The only solace was that just as he wished to avoid a commotion, so too did She Gu Yu, a hunted criminal. Thus, there remained a slim possibility of quietly eliminating his opponent, allowing his journey of survival in the demon world to continue.

Time passed slowly. She Gu Yu’s gaze swept over the entire room, missing not a single corner, and several times, it lingered on the red makeup mirror. Each instance was a moment poised on the brink of a life-and-death explosion. But in the end, her gaze merely passed over.

Suddenly, she moved lightly, floating towards the dressing table. Jiang Wang’s heart, which had momentarily settled, leaped into his throat again. His Dao Yuan surged, ready to burst from the red makeup mirror, unleashing a five-step spurt of blood, a battle for life and death!

She Gu Yu sat down. She simply sat in the air, not touching the round stool in front of the dressing table. Lost in thought for a moment, she let out a soft, sleepy yawn, her jade fingers tracing the curve of her swan-like neck to the back, lightly pulling the hair tie. Beautiful, smooth purple hair cascaded down like a waterfall. Her exquisite features were thereby made even more captivating. Within those eyes, still holding a trace of detached emotion, now gleamed a few points of youthful innocence.

Perhaps not wishing to leave any trace, she paid no mind to the thin layer of grey dust on the mirror’s surface. She simply gazed at her reflection, using her jade hand as a comb, slowly smoothing her long hair. Her movements were undeniably gentle, indeed possessing a captivating charm.

In the mirror world, Jiang Wang was on high alert. He wished neither to misjudge any action and take unnecessary risks, nor to be caught unprepared. Therefore, he observed She Gu Yu with the utmost seriousness. Never had he observed a female demon so intently, a breathtakingly beautiful, utterly charming female demon who was currently combing her hair before a mirror. Of course, he merely noted her beauty, her charm, her innocence. Although in his eyes there was no gender, only opponents, he was nonetheless captivated for a fleeting moment by a kind of wondrous, innate beauty.

Time seemed to stand still. The lingering afternoon light drifted through the window crack, falling softly and shallowly into the room. In this ordinary guest room, with no other audience present, She Gu Yu, who had slaughtered her clan of over a thousand, who had endured months of relentless pursuit, and who had just overheard a plot against her… quietly sat here, alone before the mirror, tending to her appearance. She ought to have been unleashing a torrent of blood, she ought to have seized Yuan Mengji’s head and trampled it underfoot. How could she possibly be here, gazing into the mirror, lost in confusion and self-admiration? She seemed clearly a young girl who adored beauty and pitied her own exquisite form, utterly unlike the notorious Crimson Moon Demon King.

Perhaps she had a story to tell… The reason she had slaughtered her clan undoubtedly had its unavoidable causes… Anyone witnessing this scene would find it difficult not to make excuses for her in their hearts. But Jiang Wang cared nothing for such things. He only observed She Gu Yu’s movements, calmly assessed her vital points, and formulated various battle plans for different scenarios in his mind. Although they had not yet truly clashed, within the Like-a-Dream Order, she had already met her end in no less than ten ways. Of course, it was highly likely that none of them would ever come to pass.

Chapter Platform jade falls, flowers bloom early, who sees the beautiful scene in the dark room?

She Gu Yu slowly finished tidying her appearance and pinned up her lovely purple hair. Facing the mirror, she adjusted her angle a few times. Presumably satisfied, she then rose. Her exquisite curves were like divine brushstrokes, rounded and natural, a testament to heavenly creation. In Jiang Wang’s heart, a new flicker of hope ignited… Surely this female demon would leave now? This room was a place of danger, unsuitable for lingering. Moving between locations only invited further demonic intrusion. As a hunted criminal, hiding here was inherently unsafe. As for himself, he still planned to remain in this room. He was increasingly aware of the terror of heaven’s will, realizing that sometimes doing more only led to greater mistakes. And by remaining in this room, Lu Qilang had come, She Gu Yu had come, and Yuan Mengji had even brought his subordinates to conspire loudly. It was likely no one else would come next… As the saying goes, the darkest place is under the lamp. This darkness was utterly profound, a true void!

But regrettably… She Gu Yu seemed to share the same sentiment. For after meticulously observing the room and tending to her appearance, she did not leave the room with murderous intent. Instead, she drilled back under the bed, once again closing her eyes and entering a state of dormancy. It was as if she had simply woken up in the middle of a deep sleep, gotten up to admire herself for a moment, and then continued sleeping. Only the ancient god in the mirror was left in long silence. He was utterly bewildered. From logic, from emotion, from the rich experience of being hunted, he could not fathom what this female demon was thinking! Did she need to touch up her makeup before going back to sleep?

*Creak*~ The door opened. A shop waiter, muttering curses under his breath, walked in, a bucket of water in his right hand, a rag hanging from the rim, and a dustpan and broom in his left. “Damn dog-breeding bastard, dead fat pig, just knows how to order this old man around…” He cursed naturally and cleaned skillfully. He could only hope that when he wiped the mirror… his hand wouldn’t shake… And that he wouldn’t be too diligent in his duties, paying too much attention to the area under the bed…

A dusty dressing mirror divided this world into two layers. In the room, the little demon bustled about, while under the bed, She Gu Yu remained silent and still. Jiang Wang quietly sat in the mirror world, contemplating his next moves. He knew, of course, that Yuan Mengji’s eyes were not merely for show, and Yuan Yi Zhi was not blind. The reason they had gathered to look under the bed and yet saw nothing was clearly due to She Gu Yu’s divine abilities at work. Whether it was obscuring senses, deceiving vision, or creating illusions… In short, there were too many possibilities, and he, the ancient god in the mirror, despite witnessing the entire scene, had not discerned the specific details. Guiding this little demon to clean under the bed now would be of no use. Instead, it would only arouse She Gu Yu’s alertness. He could only remain secretly vigilant, reminding himself to pay special attention to this aspect of her power if they were to fight.

But returning to the current predicament, the problem remained—She Gu Yu was entrenched in the room and wouldn’t leave. Hiding in the mirror world, he couldn’t go out, couldn’t move. What was he to do? From today’s developments, the earlier plan of finding a little demon to live in the room for a few days and scare the snake was fundamentally useless. This She Gu Yu had a formidable temperament. Even if he found a pair of little demons to come here and engage in intimate activities, she would likely remain as still as a mountain under the bed.

Yuan Mengji’s words, at least at the current stage, still held some weight. Chai A Si had not been home long when the president of the Fruit Society personally delivered the reward to his door. At this very moment, in that dilapidated small courtyard. Essence Book Pavilion… j_h_s_s_d_c_o_m first. release. update.

The medicinal power of the thousand-year Dragon-Tiger Ginseng surged continuously towards the great ancient god through the red-gold immortal divine seal. As the “channel” through which the medicinal power flowed, Chai A Si felt his entire body heating up, his blood boiling, golden light radiating from his skin… The effects of the divine-grade medicinal material were evident! As for why the medicinal power of the thousand-year Dragon-Tiger Ginseng flowed to the immortal divine seal first, the great ancient god had already warned him that it was purifying the medicinal power through the divine seal before scattering it to his limbs and bones, allowing his fragile demon body to better absorb the nourishment and his protective divine skill to achieve maximum progress. Relying on Chai A Si alone, it would be difficult to digest!

After a good while of dazzling lights and shadows, the room returned to calm. Chai A Si, bare-chested, quietly felt the changes in his Hundred Tribulations Thousand Difficulties Invincible Golden Body… “Hmm?” He furrowed his brow in doubt: “I feel the progress isn’t as significant as I imagined. This is a thousand-year Dragon-Tiger Ginseng. Could it be that my protective divine skill has reached a bottleneck?”

The great ancient god was also somewhat embarrassed, explaining: “The wonders of the immortal divine seal are beyond your comprehension, little demon. Through the divine seal’s conversion, what is increasing now is your potential! You won’t see the effects in the short term. Wait until you make leaps and bounds in the future, then you’ll understand the benefits. It’s like building a house. At this stage, you are still laying the foundation. You must not aim too high or rush for speed. When the day comes that you erect a towering building, you will understand to thank the present you…”

Chai A Si, of course, had implicit faith in the great ancient god’s words. Thinking of standing at the absolute peak in the future, he couldn’t help but smile joyfully. By this time, the sun had set, and darkness enveloped Mo Yun City.

Chai A Si practiced his skills, then rummaged through boxes and chests in his room, finding a set of black clothes suitable for night travel, and even carefully covered his face. Tonight, he had specifically instructed Yuan Xiaoqing not to visit, because besides practicing his skills, he had other important matters to attend to. Not bothering with the dilapidated door, he simply flipped out of the courtyard, quietly snuck out of the northern district, and like a wandering soul, blended into the long night. He put away his rusty sword and walked through the dark alleys. The Heaven Absolute Earth Sink Secret Sword Art included a set of matching body techniques. This body technique was extraordinary, agile to the extreme, and versatile in a hundred ways. It not only played an extraordinary role in combat but also, at this moment, while traversing the streets and alleys and rushing through the long night, it almost merged him with the night colors and the sound of the wind.

The endless flow of day and night, every demon had its own life. Walking in such a night, Chai A Si was also contemplating his own extraordinary, heaven-destined demon life.

Suddenly, he halted his movement, stopped his steps, and used a sword he had bought by the roadside, pointing it diagonally to the ground. The hem of his clothes fluttered in the evening wind, and a sharp killing intent was ready to erupt. The Swift Wind Killing Sword was renowned, but that iron bar sword, spoken of by many demons, naturally couldn’t be revealed while he was in disguise. Just then, a similarly bulky figure wearing night clothes was rushing towards him from the opposite direction. This fellow was also masked, but the two straight knives on his back instantly brought a title to Chai A Si’s mind: Execution God Extermination Teach Taiping Ghost Envoy! It was said that this demon traveled by night with double knives, leaving neither gods nor ghosts in his wake.

He became vigilant but felt no fear. This fellow possessed the power to slay gods, certainly fierce. But he had the ancient god by his side, why fear anyone? This sudden encounter of two figures rushing through the long night was unexpected. Originally, they might not have recognized each other, but in such a situation, both sides were inevitably wary. Neither was sure whether the other harbored hostility or intentionally blocked the path. The hand gripping the knife and the hand gripping the sword were equally steady. Their Qi entangled, and battle was on the verge of breaking out.

“Don’t stir up unnecessary trouble, leave!” The same command, with different identities, simultaneously echoed in the hearts of the two demons.

Chai A Si lifted his sword and moved to the left, seeing that the masked fat demon also moved away towards the other side. Both sides tacitly created distance, and after passing through this dark alley, they each accelerated and departed. The Taiping Ghost Envoy hadn’t appeared for some days, rumored to be pursued relentlessly by Black Lotus Temple, with nowhere to hide. Was he out again tonight for some evil god? Or to fight Black Lotus Temple to the death? These thoughts crossed his mind, but Chai A Si had no inclination to watch the spectacle. He continued to hurry towards his target location.

Night was already deep. The blood moon hung high.

—A figure stealthily approached an elegant courtyard, glanced left and right, and flipped into the courtyard. His body technique was quite impressive, and the entire process was silent. But just as he landed in the courtyard, he raised both hands. Because a thin sword was already pointed at his throat. The demon holding the sword wore luxurious clothes, handsome and elegant, and was none other than the newly ranked king on the Heavenly List, Lu Qilang. This sword was too fast, so fast that he couldn’t even react. If the thin sword at his neck were pushed forward, his demon life would be buried there.

But the masked Chai A Si remained calm as still water in his heart. With the ancient god mirror by his side, what was there to fear? If this so-called Inspiration King truly wanted to kill him, could the great ancient god just sit by and watch? Crushing him with a finger would be an understatement! Of course, a hint of fear still flickered in his eyes.

Chai A Si raised his hands in surrender, his tone nervous and anxious: “Great King, this little demon’s midnight visit is truly for an important matter to report!”

During the day at the inn, he had thought things through clearly. The reason he had infiltrated the Fruit Society was to use the Mo Yun Ape family’s influence to enter the upper echelons of Mo Yun City. But Yuan Mengji was clearly using him, and after using him, he intended to discard him. This path was not only impassable but had become a restraint on him. If he now wished to leave the Mo Yun Ape family and switch his allegiance, who would believe him, who would be willing to offend the Ape family for him? In the entire Mo Yun City, how many options were there? But the current Mo Yun City was no longer the city of the past few days! Wasn’t the Lu Qilang plotted against by Yuan Mengji also an option? How could the Mo Yun Ape family compare to the Divine Fragrance Deer family? How could Yuan Mengji compare to Lu Qilang? If he, the heaven-destined demon Chai A Si, must temporarily bow to evil forces, and needed to cling to a strong backer during his developmental stage… who should he cling to? Wasn’t it obvious? Even if he chose to endure humiliation, there was no need to endure that fool Yuan Mengji, right?

So… Great King Lu, I, Chai A Si, have come to pledge my allegiance!

Lu Qilang cared nothing for the mood of this uninvited guest. With a light flick of the thin sword in his hand, he had already cut through the mask, revealing Chai A Si’s rather ordinary face. “Who are you?”

“Chai A Si, Swift Wind Killing Sword Chai A Si. I’m currently participating in the Jin Yang Martial Arts Assembly.” Chai A Si confidently reported his name.

Lu Qilang’s sword-like eyebrows slightly rose: “What is the matter?”

Chai A Si’s face showed difficulty: “This matter concerns this little demon’s life and family, but after careful consideration, this little demon still decided to come and report to Great King.”

Lu Qilang sheathed his sword and walked disdainfully towards the room: “If it’s a difficult matter to speak of, then don’t speak of it.”

Chai A Si clearly realized that this Inspiration King was far from comparable to the likes of Yuan Mengji; he didn’t fall for his act at all. He immediately discarded his pretense and rushed to catch up: “Yuan Mengji is plotting against the Crimson Moon King, intending to mobilize experts to snatch food from your mouth. And he has already contacted me, intending to use my name to kill the Crimson Moon King at that time to prevent you and the Ape family from quarreling.”

Lu Qilang listened to this sentence and immediately understood the situation. He sneered: “Yu Xin’s fish hook only hooked him? It seems the most foolish young master in Mo Yun City is this Yuan Mengji. For such a fellow to have such a clever little demon under his command is truly rare… But the door of the Divine Fragrance Deer family is not so easy to enter.” This was a tacit approval of his allegiance, but it still required Chai A Si’s subsequent performance.

“I swear to be among the top ten in the Jin Yang Platform Martial Arts Assembly in Mo Yun City,” Chai A Si immediately showed his worth: “In the matter of the Crimson Moon King, I can also pretend to cooperate and continue to work with Yuan Mengji, providing you with information, and I can even backstab him at the critical moment!”

Lu Qilang smiled and casually threw out a jade bottle. Seeing Chai A Si catch it in a flurry, he leisurely walked towards the room: “This bottle of solid foundation and nourish yuan pill is for you; it can strengthen your foundation. Go back.” Look, what is called generosity? What is called a great family?

Chai A Si was overjoyed and flattered him vigorously again from behind. But Lu Qilang was truly someone who paid no heed to flattery. After a few steps, his figure had already disappeared into the courtyard.

Praise the vehicle report.
