Chapter 205 Evil Springs from Gall
The originally lively scene fell into an eerie silence at this moment.
The next moment.
Voices rose again.
"Ahaha, our new Holy Daughter is quite lively, isn't she?"
"Yes, lively is the word!"
"The Holy Daughter is young after all, being lively is fitting."
"In any case, I think it's cute."
"Seconded."
"Seconded."
Shi Nian hopped around for a bit and then got bored, returning to her proper place.
The demons who had earlier said that the Holy Daughter was being lively all let out a sigh of relief.
Liveliness aside, after all, being normal seemed more acceptable to people.
Underneath the black petals.
Shi Nian made her way towards the vehicle.
The leading member of the Demon Clan at the Mahayana looked at Shi Nian with some hesitation: "Your Highness, Holy Daughter, is it rather… cold?"
Clearly, those of them who had cultivation, upon reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, were already impervious to cold and heat.
But... apart from that reason, who could explain why the Holy Daughter would wear such clothes?
"Not cold at all." Shi Nian said matter-of-factly: "I just think it looks better with more layers. What about you all? Don't you think I look good in this?"
Shi Nian looked expectantly at the group of demon elders.
The demon elders fell silent for a while, then expressed their thoughts one after another.
Beautiful, very beautiful.
Only then did Shi Nian feel satisfied, immediately declaring: "Since you all appreciate my style of dress so much, from now on, I'll dress like this every day."
The lips of the leading demon elder twitched slightly, before he said: "As long as Your Highness is happy. It's time, Holy Daughter, please get on the vehicle."
Shi Nian nodded without fuss and got on the vehicle.
Looking out the window, she quickly spotted Lu Zhuoyan among the accompanying staff.
Shi Nian pointed her finger directly at Lu Zhuoyan: "It's boring for me to be the only one here. Bring that pretty boy up to keep me company."
Pretty boy???
Lu Zhuoyan: "???"
The demon elder glanced at Lu Zhuoyan and frowned slightly, whispering: "Your Highness, Holy Daughter, all of the Demon Clan are waiting to behold your beauty. If another man were to join you in the vehicle, it may diminish the dignity of the Holy Daughter."
Shi Nian let out a scoff: "What's this situation! Wasn't it said that the station of the Holy Daughter is lofty? When I was the Great Commander, I could have as many pretty boys as I wanted, but now that I'm the Holy Daughter, I can't even have one? If that's the case, then I'll stop being your Holy Daughter."
Shi Nian was about to step down from the vehicle right away.
Her stance didn't seem fake at all.
The demon elder broke out in a cold sweat, knowing just how much the Demon Lords valued this new Holy Daughter; if she truly threw in the towel, the ones to suffer would be them.
The demon elder quickly said: "The Holy Daughter's status is naturally lofty. That was merely a minor suggestion from a subordinate. Since the Holy Daughter is fond of this pretty boy, I will bring him over immediately."
Saying this, he cast a cold glance at Lu Zhuoyan.
Heh.
Indeed, he had a pretty face!
No wonder he captivated the Holy Daughter!
But he was just a mere Mortal Demon; when the Holy Daughter had important matters, they would still fall to her subordinates, these elders.
This Mortal Demon was merely a plaything.
Watching the demon elder's expressions change, Lu Zhuoyan's feelings were exceedingly complex.
He truly did not want to be a pretty boy.
But who would have thought, that after taking the Elixir, even though his appearance changed, he remained so handsome?
It seemed there was no choice but to be the pretty boy.
"You, get on," said the demon elder coldly.
With a bitter face, Lu Zhuoyan moved slowly onto the vehicle under the watchful eyes of the demons.
Below, a stir arose.
"What's happening? Did I just see a Mortal Demon get onto the Holy Daughter's vehicle?"
"It seems to be at the Holy Daughter's personal request!"
"Dammit. Just because he's good-looking, he gets to do whatever he wants? Wait and see; my face isn't bad either. Once I find a way to meet the Holy Daughter face to face, that Mortal Demon will surely fall out of favor."
So confident, are you?
The Demon Clan members hurriedly looked over.
Then, they each shifted their gazes away.
How should I put it...
Confidence is good, but one shouldn't be blindly confident.
"The Holy Daughter sets out." The voice of a Demon Clan Elder came through.
Eight Demon Beasts pulled the carriage, circling around Mei City at a leisurely pace.
Countless Demon Clan members followed the carriage, chasing after it all the way.
Shi Nian pulled back the curtain for a glance at the dense crowd of Demon Clan heads and suddenly had a thought flash through her mind.
Tsk tsk tsk.
If she killed all these Demon Clan members, she would definitely gain a lot of experience, wouldn't she?
After watching the lively scene for a while, Shi Nian turned her head to glance at Lu Zhuoyan, blinked, and took out the All-Worlds Communication.
Shi Nian: "Little Martial Uncle, what's with you? Why the long face?"
Lu Zhuoyan: "Heh."
Shi Nian: "You're not well, I'm just finding a reason so you don't have to run around and tire yourself out!"
Lu Zhuoyan: "Thank you. (Smile.jpg)"
Shi Nian looked at his expression and suddenly typed: "Little Martial Uncle, are you not willing to be a kept man?"
Lu Zhuoyan: "What do you think? (Expressionless.jpg)"
Shi Nian suddenly laughed: "Little Martial Uncle, I can't believe you're actually brooding over something like this, I thought you were the completely shameless type."
Whether or not he's a kept man.
Isn't that something only those who care about their dignity would worry about?
Unable to help it, Lu Zhuoyan gnashed his teeth: "Really?"
Is this the image he, an elder, had in Shi Nian's heart?!
Shi Nian shrank her neck a little and quickly tried to soothe him: "To be a kept man, the biggest prerequisite is to be handsome! Little Martial Uncle, I'm complimenting you. Think about it, if I pointed at Zhu Lin and them and called them kept men, no one would believe me, right?"
Lu Zhuoyan paused for a moment, then suddenly felt it made a lot of sense.
He looked meaningfully at Shi Nian: "You think I'm good-looking?"
Shi Nian very honestly: "Yes. You were handsome before, you're handsome now, always handsome."
Lu Zhuoyan nodded: "When we return to Divine Martial Sect, I will report truthfully to my martial brother."
Shi Nian's heart skipped a beat: "Report what?"
Lu Zhuoyan smiled slightly and replied leisurely: "Report how you flirted with me and harbored improper thoughts towards me."
Shi Nian: "????"
Her eyes widened.
This this this this!!
Maybe a bit of flirting.
But harboring improper thoughts?
That's completely nonexistent, OK?
"Little Martial Uncle, you're slandering me." Shi Nian complained.
Lu Zhuoyan smiled: "I just used a Sound Recording Stone, we'll let my martial brother decide."
Shi Nian suddenly felt a bit of a chill on her scalp.
She glared at Lu Zhuoyan furiously.
Is this Little Martial Uncle a petty child?
Just for this little thing, is there really a need to tattle to the elders?
As if hearing Shi Nian's inner thoughts, Lu Zhuoyan smiled: "It's very necessary."
Shi Nian looked at Lu Zhuoyan, her expression changing several times, and suddenly fury arose.
She suddenly said loudly: "What am I calling you in here for? To sit there without moving? Not even a flicker of life in your eyes? Do you see the grapes on the table? Can't you peel one?"
Shi Nian even purposely lifted the corner of the curtain a bit.
Lu Zhuoyan: "..."
He saw a Demon Clan Elder turn back to look.
"What are you standing there for?" Shi Nian was very domineering: "Aren't you going to serve the Holy Daughter?"
The gaze of the Elder behind her drifted over again.
Lu Zhuoyan took a deep breath and then another deep breath.
Then he expressionlessly peeled a grape and stuffed it into Shi Nian's mouth.
