Lin Hua was beautiful, gentle and delicate, with a charming and tender beauty.

Fang Ruotang unleashed a burst of demonic energy, causing the ore to fall again, striking the ugly servant directly on the head and startling him so much that he covered his head and ran away in panic.

[Tsk, even your ancestor has to step in.]

Lin Hua's eyes gleamed with delight as he watched the handyman's unfortunate state.

Fang Ruotang gave a reminder that was both funny and exasperating.

Stop wearing that gloating expression; someone might see it.

Lin Hua obediently pursed her lips, revealing two adorable dimples at the corners of her mouth.

Fang Ruotang glanced at it again.

The little mirror went off with a loud alarm.

"Sir, what are you doing? You wouldn't happen to have taken a liking to him, would you?"

[Are you crazy?! How could I have fallen for him the first time I saw him?]

[Otherwise, why would you pretend to be so powerful, and even say you're hidden in his jade pendant? Does that mean you'll frequently appear before him in the future?]

Why not? It's a perfect opportunity to infiltrate the Demonic Sect's territory.

[...You tell me, infiltrating the Demonic Sect's forces, starting as a lowly servant—a servant who isn't even within the Demonic Sect itself.]

That's not how you say it!

【How should I say it?】

Fang Ruotang: ...

[Alright, shut up! I just helped a poor guy out of the blue. He just happens to be good-looking, that's all. Don't assume I have designs on him just because you look at him. I'm not some pervert.]

That's true!

Fang Ruotang choked.

What is it? Explain yourself!

Just as they were about to continue arguing, the steward who had left earlier returned and, without saying a word, lashed out at Lin Hua with his whip.

"It's you causing trouble again."

Fang Ruotang's big eyes slowly formed a question mark.
