Chapter 691: Butterfly Slave (58)

Wen Wan was somewhat disappointed, but since she was already inside, there was bound to be a way to meet the people. There was no need to rush. She should first settle down and then meet the Demon Lord. From what others had told her, Wen Wan knew that the Demon Lord's refusal to show his face greatly increased the probability that he was the male lead. Wen Wan's sixth sense confirmed this.

Wen Wan had very little to do. In fact, everyone knew that they weren't really there to be servants. They didn't even have any heavy work. Wen Wan was assigned a room and only needed to clean it once a day. She had free time to do as she pleased, as long as she didn't violate the rules of the Heavenly Palace.

Moreover, Wen Wan discovered that there were three or four hundred maids like her. When Wen Wan found out, she was extremely shocked. This must be a local tyrant, right? Even the emperor's harem might not have as many maids as this demon lord.

With so many women, they naturally tend to gather together to chat when they have free time. After all, although they may be competitors, none of them have succeeded in taking the top spot over the years, so they have gradually given up and no longer harbor any hostility towards others. In fact, they have developed quite a few sisterhood cliques.

Wen Wan quickly became familiar with many people, and even successfully traded with a beauty for a chance to get close to the Demon Lord.

Wen Wan followed the other party to the Demon Lord's bedroom.

"Ah Yuan, you must listen to me. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't do what you shouldn't do, and don't do anything impolite. Also, don't even think about seducing the Demon Lord. There was once a beauty, an unparalleled beauty, who was confident that she could win the Demon Lord's favor with her looks. So she took the opportunity of coming to the palace to work to try to seduce the Demon Lord. Do you know where that beauty is now?"

Wen Wan: "Where?"

"You've been demoted to the lowest rank of slave, shoveling swill every day. You're almost going crazy now, and you can't escape even if you want to. So you're a smart person. Our Demon Lord doesn't get close to women, so do your job well and don't have any wishful thinking."

Wen Yan: "!!!"

"I understand, sister. Don't worry, sister. I will be very obedient and I will never have such thoughts."

"That's good."

Soon, as evening approached, the Demon Lord finally returned.

They stood to one side, waiting for the Demon Lord's summons, but most of the time, the Demon Lord wouldn't ask them to do anything.

Wen Wan looked at the Demon Lord, who wore a wide black robe embroidered with exquisite patterns, and a silver-white mask covering his entire face.

His body and face were covered, but Wen Wan felt that he was the person she was looking for, because the jade pendant at her waist reacted as soon as he approached.

Wen Wan clutched her jade pendant tightly.

Did this bastard really not notice me, or was he just pretending not to see me?

"You may leave. I don't need anyone here."

Wen Wan was furious, but she still held back her temper and said, "Yes, Demon Lord."

I spoke very loudly, but the other person didn't even change their expression.

Wen Wan: "System, he's the male lead, right?"

System: [Yes, but he doesn't seem to want to acknowledge you.]

"You don't recognize me? I don't believe it." Before even leaving the house, Wen Wan, with her left foot wrapped around her right foot, slammed hard onto the ground.

My hands are all scraped raw.

"it hurts."

"Ah Yuan, are you alright?" the older woman asked.

Wen Wan's eyes were red and swollen. "It hurts. Help me up. I don't want to cause trouble for the Demon Lord. Let's leave quickly."

"OK."

As soon as the other person helped her up, they threw her hard to the ground again, and this time Wen Wan burst into tears.

Stare at the Demon Lord.

As a result, the other party didn't even change their posture, and Wen Wan was eventually led away from the palace by her sister.

A little magic potion was applied.

"System, what does this guy mean? He was so worried when I scraped my skin, but this time I made such a big sacrifice, and he didn't even react. What do you think he means?"

system:【……】

It had no idea what the two were arguing about.

"I'll sneak in tonight. I refuse to believe it. I'm going to ask him why he left without saying goodbye. If he really had no feelings for me at all, why did he leave me the jade pendant? And why did he save me in the secret realm?"

The system couldn't stop it; the host was clearly determined.

That night, Wen Wan planned to sneak in without anyone noticing, and she succeeded so easily that she found it unbelievable.

...

The area was shrouded in rain and mist.

Wen Wan sneaked in, following the directions given by the system.

To her utter surprise, the man was taking a shower. Wen Wan stared at his near-perfect body, his chest and eight-pack abs—not the intimidatingly large kind, but just the right amount of powerful abs.

It perfectly captured Wen Wan's aesthetic.

Even those two points were pink, and Wen Wan swallowed hard.

Have you seen enough?

Wen Wan: "I haven't seen enough."

Wen Yan: "..."

Wen Wan looked at the other person in a panic, then turned around, "I didn't mean to, I didn't know you were taking a shower, brother."

There was a rustling sound behind her, and Wen Wan turned around after the other person had finished dressing.

Then the shyness faded, and anger surged into his heart.

"Brother, why do you pretend you don't know me? And why don't you come looking for me? Do you know how much effort I went through to find you? How much I suffered? And yet you still pretend you don't know me? What do you mean by that?"

Wen Wan walked over and grabbed the other person's collar.

He stared at the other person with angry eyes.

The other person took off the mask, and the face was indeed the one Wen Wan was looking for. They had lived together for a long time, and she was familiar with every part of that face.

"You shouldn't have come to see me."

"Why? Is it because you're a demon? I don't care."

Wen Wan's hand was grabbed by the other person, then removed from his collar. "Go back, go back to where you belong. This place is not suitable for you."

"Are you going to abandon me again?"

Wen Wan looked at the other person with red eyes, "If you didn't want to see me, why did you give me the jade pendant?"

Wen Wan: "You're lying, I don't believe you."

Wen Wan hugged the person tightly and refused to let go. "Go ahead and hit me if you dare. I'm not leaving. I finally found you, and I'm not going to leave. Besides, I'm so weak, and the outside world is so dangerous. You're already a high and mighty Demon Lord. I'm going to cling to your coattails. You have to protect me, just like back in the Abyss of Evil."

"..."

[Host, I always knew you had a thick skin, but I never imagined it was this thick. I'm truly impressed.]

"Shut up. If you don't want to complete the mission, I'm leaving right now."

system:【……】

It immediately shut up, after all, it really wanted to complete the mission and had found the male lead. If they could rekindle their romance, that would be great. It just didn't know what the male lead meant to its host. It was the first time it had ever faced a scenario with two male leads. It just didn't know who its host would marry in the future. Wouldn't they fight?
