Lian'er, unable to exert any strength due to being choked, let out a cold snort and spoke with difficulty, "There are so many people with the surname Lin... how... can you be so sure..."

Seeing that she still didn't want to tell the truth, Feng Ying increased the pressure on her hands and threatened, "This is where she used to live. Do you dare say you don't recognize her? If you don't tell the truth, I'll kill you."

Lian'er's eyes widened. "You're the Demon Lord Phoenix Eagle? Come..."

Before she could even utter the word "person," Feng Ying flung her away and cast a spell that made her faint.

"Your Excellency, how can we find Miss Lin if we knock her unconscious?" Ten Demon Leopard asked, puzzled.

“She didn’t let a word slip, and didn’t you see? She’s lost her and is searching the whole palace.” Feng Ying pondered, “I wonder where the demon immortal is. Ten Demon Leopard, you search the palace. I’ll wait here.”

The ten demonic leopards obeyed and turned to leave the bedchamber.

Qitong followed quietly, but before it even reached the door, it was grabbed by the back of its neck.

The phoenix eagle looked Qi Tong up and down, then clicked its tongue. "This little thing can run quite fast, and its feathers grow pretty quickly too. Are you a phoenix or a Vermilion Bird?"

Qi Tong blinked, overjoyed to hear about these two kinds of mythical beasts. It turned out that it was an ancient mythical beast!

Looking at its silly appearance, the phoenix asked in confusion, "Don't you know what you are?"

Qi Tong rolled his eyes at him upon hearing this, "You're the one who's something."

"It's got quite a temper." Fengying ruffled its head; the soft, fluffy texture felt nice.

After a long pause, he adopted the airs of a demon lord and asked it, "I ask you, what is your relationship with Lin Sanshui? How could a demon who cultivated from a blood demon ginseng know a divine beast like you who was only recently born?"

"It's none of your business, put me down." Qi Tong struggled.

Feng Ying tucked it into his arms. "That won't do. Look how anxious Lin Sanshui was when she came looking for you. She must value you a lot. With you here, I'm not afraid she'll run away."

Qi Tong thought to himself, "Why is this guy still so stubborn like before? He's lost all his memories of modern society and still can't get Mu Tiantian."

I don't know what kind of constitution she has, that she seems to attract people who are stubborn, inflexible, and have serious illnesses.

As they were talking, Feng Ying's ears twitched. Noticing the commotion outside the hall, he immediately used magic to hide Lian'er. Then he removed his ghost mask and transformed into Lian'er's appearance, standing in the same spot.

After a while, a man dressed in white appeared outside the hall. His white hair reached his waist, and his eyes were covered with a white cloth. He was aloof and otherworldly, like a god.

In fact, if you look into his eyes for too long, even a god can lose his soul and be controlled by him. In severe cases, he can even lose his mind. If a weaker person looks into his eyes for too long, his life will be in danger. This evil ability is beyond his control.

That's why he covered his eyes with a white scarf.

Feng Ying was slightly surprised to see the newcomer. It was the Evil Lord Feng Lin.

Despite the divine realm's warrant for his arrest, he still dared to return to the demon realm.

To avoid revealing her weakness, the phoenix eagle transformed into Lian'er's voice and bowed to him, "Greetings, Lord Evil Lord."

Feng Lin glanced at Qi Tong in his arms and commanded, "Come here."

Qi Tong couldn't see his eyes and paused for a moment, but the direction he was facing seemed to be towards it. "Me?"

"What, you don't want to see her anymore?" Feng Lin's voice was very calm.

Qi Tong immediately understood and was about to jump down when he was controlled by the Phoenix Eagle. The Phoenix Eagle gave him a sinister look, as if to say... if he dared to reveal his identity, he would suffer a terrible fate.

After a while, Feng Ying let go, and Qi Tong fell down, smiled at him, indicating that he would definitely keep his mouth shut, and then ran to Feng Lin's feet, asking with a silly grin, "Where is she?"

As Mu Tiantian said, "You can't hit a smiling face." Being between two big devils, it's always good to smile more.

Feng Lin picked it up and instructed Lian'er in front of him, "Go to the side hall and take good care of Miss Lin. Don't talk too much, and don't do anything unnecessary. Just do whatever she asks you to do."

"Yes, Lord Evil Lord, I obey your command." After saying this, Feng Ying prepared to leave the side hall.

Feng Lin looked at Lian'er, who seemed overly calm, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Qi Tong asked, "Can you take me to see her now?"

Feng Lin glanced down at it, a barely perceptible smile curving his lips. "No rush, I still have a lot to ask you."

What do you want to ask?

Feng Lin didn't answer. After leading it out of the bedroom, he headed in the opposite direction from the side hall.

For some reason, Qi Tong suddenly had a bad feeling.

...

In a bedroom inside a side hall.

Mu Tiantian tried to get out of bed, but as soon as she moved her legs, the soreness immediately spread throughout her body.

She was truly impressed; not a single one of his ten tails was wasted...

Feng Lin was going to meet two people, saying he would be back that evening and would send a maid to take care of her first.

Mu Tiantian didn't know if he had passed through this "early spring" yet, and hoped that he could see people for a longer period of time.

"Miss Lin." Two maids entered from outside the door, one carrying food and the other carrying a change of clothes, with Lian'er following behind them.

A maid brought a bowl of congee and fruit to her bedside. "Miss Lin, this was prepared by the Evil Lord. He said you need something light to drink. This congee is full of spiritual energy and will help with your throat and injuries."

Upon hearing this, Mu Tiantian blushed and her voice became hoarse, "You can put it aside, I'll drink it myself later."

She touched her throat, guessing that she had shouted too loudly, and her cheeks turned even redder as she thought of this.

Seeing that her face was flushed, the maid worriedly asked, "Miss Lin, are you feeling unwell? Do you have a fever?"

"No...it's okay, you can put your things down, I can do it myself." Mu Tiantian asked them to put the clothes by the bed and the food plate on the bedside table, which contained porridge and some fruit.

The maid did as she was told, putting down the food plate and instructing, "Miss Lin, these are spiritual fruits from the Demon Realm. They have no demonic energy, and eating them is good for your health."

The maid carrying the change of clothes breathed a sigh of relief. "Miss Lin, it's so good that you're alright. You know, we were terrified when you were missing for the past few days."

"A few days?" Mu Tiantian was shocked. Several days had actually passed?

That's been way too long...

"Yes," the maid nodded, "especially the Palace Master Lian, she's extremely anxious."

Mu Tiantian looked at Lian'er and saw that she was staring at her with a serious expression.

"Lord Lian cares about me so much?" Mu Tiantian teased with a smile.

As Feng Ying watched her lean against the bed in her white undergarment, her whole body covered up, a red mark on her fair skin below her ear was very noticeable. Coupled with her rosy face, an idea involuntarily popped into his mind.

The next moment he realized that he must have been thinking the wrong thing, and he stopped himself from thinking about those random things.

Mu Tiantian found it strange that Lian'er didn't speak. If it were any other time, Lian'er would have said to her with a cold and arrogant expression, "If it weren't for Lord Evil Lord's sake, I wouldn't care about you."

But now he was staring at her without saying a word. Mu Tiantian called out again, "Lord Lian?"

Feng Ying snapped out of his reverie and responded with a soft "Mm".

"What's wrong with you today?" Mu Tiantian asked.

Feng Ying composed herself and replied calmly in Lian'er's voice, "It's alright. Lord Evil Lord sent me to serve you. Just let me know if you need anything."

Mu Tiantian blinked, somewhat surprised, "You're actually so easy to talk to?"

The two maids also looked at the Lotus Palace Master with some curiosity.

Feng Ying lowered his eyes for a long while, then sternly ordered, "You two, get out. I have something to say to Miss Lin."

Seeing that the Lady of the Lotus Palace was angry, the two maids dared not ask any further questions. "Yes, Lady of the Lotus Palace."

The two whispered to each other after leaving the room.

"Miss Lin doesn't seem to have the scent of Blood Demon Ginseng anymore."

"Now that you mention it, I don't think I smelled anything either. That's strange..."

Although the whispers were soft, both Mu Tiantian and Feng Ying could hear them.

Mu Tiantian tilted her head and sniffed her shoulder; there really was no scent of Blood Demon Ginseng.

She remembered that when she went to Ghost King City before, she had a smell on her body that she couldn't quite put her finger on, but it was enough to cover up her natural scent, so she didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that she must have picked it up from somewhere. But now it had suddenly disappeared, which was indeed strange.

Lost in thought, Mu Tiantian turned around and Lian'er's face suddenly loomed close, startling her so much that she shifted her body slightly. "What are you doing?"

Feng Ying sniffed her scent; the Blood Demon Ginseng aroma had completely vanished, replaced by a faint milky fragrance, sweet and inviting...
