The Abyss, the capital of the Demon Realm, was also very lively today.
All kinds of demons were shuttling back and forth in the capital. Although demons had the same facial features as mortals, they would always grow something unique to this race. For example, the Demon Ox Clan had two horns the size of an adult man's palm on their heads. The merfolk did not have legs, only beautiful fishtails of different colors. Even their palms were connected to fins. The Demon Fox Clan members were all bewitching and had long furry tails on their butts…
Of course, there were also demonic beasts in the demon world. They could speak and converse with the demons. Their strength was not inferior to the demons, and they also had their own territory in the demon world.
At this moment, in a room of a brothel in the capital, a conspiracy was brewing.
"Sir, this is poison." Yan Min, an ugly man with big ears from the demon rat clan, bowed and respectfully handed the stolen things to the person sitting in front of him.
The White Cloud Devourer reached out and took it. Its eyes, which were originally snake pupils, looked at the timid rat clan that was starting to tremble involuntarily in front of it. The corners of its mouth pulled up into a contemptuous smile.
A lowly race was a lowly race, and nothing could change that.
"Sit down." Bai Yun Dan shook the bottle in his hand and listened to the sound of the liquid inside. It was rare for him to be in a good mood.
After Yan Min heard this, she thanked him excitedly. He actually had the opportunity to sit with Lord Bai Yun Dan of the Snake Tribe. As expected, it was the right decision to serve Lord White Cloud Snack. As long as they followed him to overthrow the current Demon King, their clan would be able to get rid of their lowly status in the Demon Realm and become nobles.
Thinking of a bright future, Yan Min became even more determined to follow White Cloud Devour.
"Are you sure this is 'Death in Dream'?" Bai Yuntian put down the bottle, picked up the wine cup on the table, and drank it in one gulp.
"This is definitely the merfolk clan's 'Dream of Death', this lowly one has already tested it.”Yan Min stood up and quickly explained.
As Yan Min waited anxiously, it was only after a while that Bai Yuntian spoke,""Well done."
Hearing this, Yan Min thanked him excitedly again."Thank you for your praise, sir."
"You may leave." White Cloud Devour expressionlessly issued the expulsion order. After seeing Yan Min carefully close the door and go out, White Cloud Snack pulled up a cold brush. It seemed that he had underestimated this rat tribe in the past. He had always thought that they were cowardly and disgusting. It was interesting that they would actually capture people to test their poison.
However, since he had obtained this bottle of poison, the Demon King was not far from his death. Bai Yuntian looked at the bottle on the table and sneered. This time, they would not make the same mistake as last time. Finally, their day was coming.
All of a sudden, a seductive woman wearing a thin veil appeared in the room. She quickly came to Bai Yun Dan's side and hugged him with her fair, lotus-like arms. She whispered in his ear,""Lord Yun Dan, that lord has invited you.”
White Cloud Devour raised his hand and tore off the person who was sticking to him. He said disdainfully,"Fox clan, don't come near me casually. It's so dirty.”
Upon hearing this, a hint of killing intent flashed in Min Yue's eyes, but she quickly hid it. She grabbed the tail behind her and brought it to her mouth with a charming smile."That's really rude, Lord Yun Dan. Then let me lead the way for you.”
With that, Min Yue and Bai Yuntian disappeared from the room.
In a room filled with candles and surrounded by stone walls, a hooded man was sitting quietly on a chair in the middle of the room.
"Lord Ming." Min Yue and Bai Yun Dan bowed at the same time.
Ming raised his arm, indicating that the two of them should stand up and talk. Then, he raised his hand and took the poison "Dream of Death" from White Cloud Devour. He opened the stopper and sniffed it before saying,"This is indeed 'Dream Death'. White Cloud Tasting, not bad."
"Thank you for your praise, sir." White Cloud Devour expressed its gratitude calmly.
"Xue Haoming, has everything been arranged in the Devil Hall?”Ming turned to ask Jiao Long, who had been leaning on the side with his eyes closed since the beginning.
Xue Haoming opened his eyes and nodded. He stood up straight and put down his dragon claws.
" Then, we'll take action in three days." Ming stood up and placed the poison on the table beside Xue Haoming before slowly walking out of the room.
"Yes." The three people in the room answered happily.
For the next month, Ming Cheya's days in the Imperial Residence of King Jing were ordinary. In the beginning, she only spent her days recuperating, sleeping, eating, and taking medicine. Later on, the situation gradually improved. Sometimes, Ming Cheya would stroll around the garden outside to breathe in the fresh air. Of course, Shen Yuan was happy to see such a situation.
Shen Yuan had also spent a lot of time with Ming Cheya this month, not caring about the rumors outside. At first, the emperor issued an edict to announce that the woman brought back from the Abyss was not a demon but a woman from the Underworld. In order to appease the people, he punished her, but it still did not completely relieve everyone's fear.
However, during this month, he saw his highness rushing back to the manor every day. He stayed longer and longer in the manor. After asking around, he found out that he was going back to take care of the woman from the underworld who had saved him. Only then did everyone realize that the woman had been seriously injured while trying to save King Jing.
Seeing this, everyone's fear lessened. Instead, he was constantly lamenting the deep relationship between the king and the woman from the Netherworld, which made him unable to help but feel envious.
The two people involved had no idea that they had become the topic of everyone's discussion in Jade Crown.
You Xiangyin and the others, who had been adding fuel to the fire, saw that King Jing had become more popular instead of achieving their goal, which made them gnash their teeth in anger. However, there was nothing they could do about this. He could only think of another countermeasure to sow discord between the Emperor and King Jing.
On the other hand, Manzhu and Sha Hua were still restricted from approaching Ming Cheya by the Abyss (Hanba) during this month. At the same time, they were silently cursing at the side. Why was it that every time the princess ate the elixir, she would consciously feed it to that demon? Furthermore, she was clearly in a human body now, why was she fine after eating those elixirs? This was simply a heaven-defying rhythm.
It was a sunny day with no clouds in sight. The afternoon sun made her feel lazy and comfortable. Ming Cheya, who had woken up, stood quietly in the garden and looked at the sky. No one knew what she was thinking.
Manzhu walked to Ming Cheya's side and helped her put on the cloak. She said with concern,""Princess, what are you looking at?"
At this moment, Manzhu was overjoyed. Because the demon was not in the residence, she and Sha Hua could finally stay by the princess 'side without worry. She was simply too blissful.
After a moment of silence, Ming Cheya said,""It's so lively outside. Let's go out for a walk.”
" But, Princess…" Before Sha Hua could finish speaking, Ming Cheya had already walked towards the door.
When Manzhu and Sha Hua saw this, they sighed helplessly. Then, Sha Hua turned around and went into the house. She packed everything she needed and quickly followed Ming Cheya.
Today, the people in the Imperial Residence of King Jing were still doing their own things diligently. However, when they saw the woman in red coming out of the king's residence, they could not help but put down what they were doing. After all, this was the first time they had seen this woman since her highness had brought her back.
Instantly, the entire Imperial Residence of King Jing became abnormally quiet. Everyone stared at this person who was still indifferent under the burning gazes of the crowd.
Hong Ye was originally reprimanding the servant girl who had done something wrong, but when he saw Ming Cheya, he quickly walked to her side. One had to know that his highness had given a death order to protect her well in the residence.
"Miss, why did you come out? Aren't your injuries still not healed?" Hongye walked to Ming Cheya's side and asked with concern.
Ming Cheya looked at the middle-aged man with a long beard whom she had seen frequently this month. She stopped and said,""I want to go out for a walk. It seems to be very lively outside today."
"Today is the festival of begging for cleverness, so it's very lively.”Hongye looked at Ming Cheya and explained with a smile. But then, he changed the topic." Miss, why don't you wait for His Highness to come back before you go out?"”
Ming Cheya, who ignored the second half of Hongye's sentence, asked,""What is the Festival of Begging for Qiao?"
"It's a matchmaking event. When a man and a woman walked on the street, they would give each other a flower to express their feelings if they took a fancy to each other. If the other party took the flowers, it meant that both parties were interested.”Hong Ye explained.
At that moment, the red spider lily that had been quietly blooming at the side suddenly began to stretch toward Ming Cheya. Ming Cheya's expression softened when she saw the flowers in front of her. She then raised her hand and snapped a Manjusaka flower. She took it and walked out.
Hong Ye, who wanted to stop them, was stopped by Manzhu and Sha Hua.
"Don't worry, the princess has our protection.”Manzhu looked at Hongye and smiled." And the princess is probably the prince who went out to look for you."”She would even send him flowers.
Of course, Manzhu didn't finish her sentence. Then, Manzhu and Sha Hua ignored Hong Ye and quickly came to Ming Cheya's side again. He left the Imperial Residence with her.
After Ming Cheya and the other two disappeared from the mansion, everyone finally reacted and started discussing.
"Wow, that woman is really beautiful.”
"I've never seen anyone who looks better than her in red.”
"No wonder your highness likes her."
Hong Ye listened to the servants 'conversation and could not help but raise his eyebrows. This group of people were not doing their work and were actually talking about their master. They were simply too relaxed.
"Now go do your own thing. I don't need to remind you what you should say and what you shouldn't say.”
Seeing the butler's dark face, the servants all fell silent and replied in unison,"Yes."
Hearing this, Hongye left in relief. Look at how obedient the servants of the Prince's mansion had become under his management. But what he did not expect was that not long after he left, the servants began to discuss quietly again.
If Hongye knew about this, he would probably be very upset.
