It was probably those two pieces of candy that had the effect.

Perhaps it was the purse he stole that revealed its potential.

Anyway, Su Yan settled in.

They lived in a very remote house.

It takes about the time it takes to burn an incense stick to walk from the Demon King's Palace.

For the next three days, Su Yan did not see Lu again.

On the morning of the fourth day.

She was preparing to leave the Demon King's Palace.

As soon as he stepped out of his room, he was stopped by the female demon guards.

She pointed her bone sword directly at Su Yan, her eyes filled with the disdain of the demon race for the human race.

"Let's go, His Highness the Demon King is looking for you."

Su Yan nodded

"kindness"

He responded and stepped forward, gently pushing the bone sword away.

The banshee sheathed her bone sword and snorted coldly.

"You humans are truly full of cunning schemes."

Su Yan was puzzled

"What's the meaning?"

"First, they sent you to seduce the Demon King, trying to distract him. Then they sent someone else to take this opportunity to steal the Demon Clan's treasure."

Isn't that cunning?

After Su Yan listened,

You're overthinking it.

The succubus snorted disdainfully.

"Whether I'm overthinking it or not, you'll find out when you get to the front hall."

As she spoke, she led Su Yan toward the Demon King's Palace.

As soon as they reached the entrance of the Demon King's Palace, they smelled a bloody stench.

Looking up, they saw three humans chained together by chains made of some unknown material.

Two of them were covered in blood and had been beheaded.

There is one still alive.

However, the one that was still alive is now barely clinging to life.

They clung to life, their blood staining the ground.

Su Yan paused for a moment.

Follow them inside.

On the throne of the Demon King, Lu sat there.

His eyelids were drooping, and his face was expressionless.

The female demon next to Su Yan knelt down and spoke.

"Your Highness, the person has been brought."

He lifted his eyelids,

"Step down"

"yes"

The banshee quickly left.

Beside those three people stood two demons.

These two were the only two people Su Yan knew.

I saw him a few days ago.

Lin Changye and Lu Jian.

Lu Jian's health is still very poor. Even if he just stands there doing nothing, he can't stop coughing.

Su Yan spoke

"I don't know them."

Lin Changye held a fan and fanned himself back and forth.

I burst out laughing

"What should we do? Beautiful girl, the one who is still alive said that she was acting under Su Yan's orders."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan looked down at the one who was still panting.

"You know me, and you know my name?"

The man opened his mouth.

"Ah, ah, ah..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, blood gushed out.

Lin Changye, who was standing next to him, covered his mouth and nose with a folding fan.

"His tongue was accidentally plucked out by the Demon King, so even if you keep asking him, he probably won't be able to say anything."

After listening, Su Yan nodded to indicate that she understood.

Then, they walked towards the direction of the Demon King's throne.

She walked and said

“I’m not with them.”

I don't know them either.

She spoke earnestly.

As you get closer, you can see it clearly.

Drip, drip, drops of blood were dripping down Lu's fingers.

He was injured.

As a result, Su Yan walked even faster and soon arrived in front of him.

She spoke

You have to believe me.

As she spoke, she took out a white handkerchief from her sleeve.

She reached out and wiped the blood off his hands.

I took his hand, and a wound was visible on the back of his hand.

She pressed her handkerchief against the wound.

He pursed his lips, his tone muffled.

Why are you always getting hurt?
