Chapter 429 They Are My Demon Slaves

Ye Xiaoman looked at Jiaying meaningfully and answered his question.

"That person is indeed an old acquaintance of yours."

I always feel that if Jiaying regains his memory, he will be moved to tears by her deep affection when he recalls today's scene.

Ye Xiaoman's ambiguous answer left Jiaying with endless room for imagination.

He admitted that he was almost going crazy with jealousy and couldn't help asking, "Who is he?"

Because Ye Xiaoman's story is full of twists and turns, besides Jiaying, there is also Yue Mushan who is eavesdropping.

Yue Mushan felt sad and relieved at the same time.

He thought bitterly that Ye Xiaoman must have loved that anonymous person very much.

He felt sad that someone had left an indelible mark on Ye Xiaoman's heart before him.

He was actually not very surprised. Ye Xiaoman was so profound, and it was supported by countless experiences. It was normal for her to have rich emotional experience.

At the same time, he was deeply grateful that the man was no longer there, leaving room for him.

who is he?

Yue Mushan and Jia Yin were eager to know the answer.

Jiaying wants to compete with his rival, while Yue Mushan wants to learn from his rival's strengths to maintain his position.

Ye Xiaoman changed the subject.

"Anyway, due to various unavoidable reasons, I had no choice but to accept this dangerous commission. I really need this money, and I won't leave until I get what my employer wants."

Jiaying said, "I will help you pay the debt, and I will take you away now."

Ye Xiaoman raised her chin stubbornly, perfectly showing her noble quality of self-respect and self-love despite her poverty.

"No need for that. I've already signed a contract with my employer, and I won't break it."

Jiaying couldn't persuade Ye Xiaoman, and also wanted to protect her dignity, so he agreed to accompany her in the search.

Ye Xiaoman dropped another bombshell.

"Currently, my employer and I are living with the Ghost Lord in order to find the treasure."

"This is the home of the Ghost Lord."

Jiaying's expression became even more solemn. Yue Mushan immediately forgot he was eavesdropping and walked over. "Sister, are you talking about the Ghost Lord?"

Ye Xiaoman nodded. "That's right, it's the Ghost Lord, his name is Zhu Chuideng. When you see him later, remember to keep a safe distance from him."

She explained, "The thing my employer is looking for is in the hands of the Ghost Lord. We are currently planning to search for clues and treasures from the Ghost Lord's memories."

Yue Mushan was worried: "That's really tricky."

Yue Mushan had heard some stories about the Ghost Lord from the Demon King's parents, and his feelings towards the Ghost Lord were the same as those of ordinary people, with a resistance to it.

No one likes to make friends with dark and terrifying creatures. The Ghost Lord himself is mysterious and has a twisted hobby of hunting famous monks and using human bones to build furniture. Rumor has it that he is a moody person and not easy to mess with.

He wished he could get away from her immediately.

As a high-ranking official in the Divine Realm, Jiaying has a higher status and a broader vision. His views on the Ghost Lord are slightly different from Yue Muchan's.

The ghost realm produces black ore, which is an indispensable material for maintaining magic circles. Among the six realms, there is a saying that "whoever controls the ghost realm controls the world."

When marching to war, food and fodder must be brought first. Only if the ghost realm can provide a steady supply of backup resources can the war continue.

The main reason why the Demon God was defeated that year was that he encountered stubborn resistance from the Ghost Lord and was unable to take over the Ghost Realm, which led to the Demon Clan's ultimate lack of successors and the collapse of the front line.

The attitude of the divine realm towards the ghost world is one of both dependence and caution.

Jiaying shoulders the responsibility of guarding the divine realm. The opportunity to understand the Ghost Lord is rare, and he has the obligation to collect information about the Ghost Lord and pass it on.

But considering Ye Xiaoman's safety, he tended to temporarily ignore his mission and take Ye Xiaoman away.

He also wanted to leave here immediately.

Especially Ye Xiaoman's behavior was tantamount to snatching food from a tiger's mouth.

But Ye Xiaoman refused to listen.

She said: "I tell you this to let you know how dangerous the situation is. I don't want to implicate you, so you should leave first."

Yue Mushan said: "I said that no matter what you want to do, I will accompany you to the end. I will stay."

Jiaying expressed his opinion, "Me too."

Ye Xiaoman sighed, "You can stay, but you have to promise that no matter what you see me say or do, you will choose to trust me and not cause me any trouble."

She especially looked at Jiaying for a second longer.

Jiaying and Yue Mushan agreed without thinking.

Ye Xiaoman raced against time and used concise language to recount what had happened in the village in the past, including Zhu Chuideng's life story and the disaster caused by Nao Taotie.

The two men were very unhappy when they heard that Ye Xiaoman was currently pretending to be a couple with Jing Zhui, but they had just promised not to cause trouble for Ye Xiaoman, so they could only hold back and accept Ye Xiaoman's arrangement.

After the three of them had compared information, the wooden door was finally pushed open.

Ye Xiaoman quickly removed the shielding magic circle, adjusted her expression, and faced the front with a smile.

My palms are sweating.

It was the first time for her to do such a thrilling thing as introducing the two fish to another reserve fish.

I always feel like I'm going to fail at some point.

Unexpectedly, the ones who ran out were Brother Zhu and Sister Zhu.

The two little brats saw the demon tribe and the snake people for the first time. They were so scared that they pointed at people and shouted, "Monsters, there are monsters!"

Zhu Chuideng was rejected by Ye Xiaoman in person last night. He was embarrassed and decided to avoid Ye Xiaoman for a few days. When he heard the strange cries of the two children, he had to come out.

The three men looked at each other.

Yue Mushan and Jiaying felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and both cast probing glances at Zhu Chuideng.

They wished they could dissect the Ghost Lord from head to toe for Ye Xiaoman. They would make hand gestures or hold weapons in their hands. As long as Zhu Chuideng showed any intention to hurt Ye Xiaoman, they would fight to the death to protect Ye Xiaoman and leave.

Zhu Chuideng was also slightly stunned.

The two men in front of him were like gods from New Year pictures who had descended to earth. They had handsome looks, and their clothes and manners seemed to be from wealthy families. For some reason, they appeared in a rural house.

Ye Xiaoman stood between them, and she tried her best to introduce Yue Mushan and Jiaying to Zhu Chuideng in a relaxed manner.

"Blow out the lights, let me introduce you."

"This is Amu, this is Aying, they are all my relatives."

"After I was sold, they have been looking for me and today they are finally reunited with me."

Zhu Chuideng nodded slightly to the stranger, indicating that they had met before.

His eyes fell on Yue Mushan's animal ears and Jiaying's snake tail. "Relatives? Why does my aunt have relatives from another race?"

Ye Xiaoman had already thought of a reason.

"Aying and Amu are both demons. They were sold to the human world when they were young and bought by my family. They are now my family's slaves."

"But we are only master and servant in name only. We grew up together and have a close relationship. We already consider each other family."

Zhu Chuideng had long guessed that Ye Xiaoman's background was not bad. She was sold because her family fell into poverty during the war.

Poor people would never have the same fair and pleasant complexion, the same smooth and tender skin, and the same pleasing slender fingers as hers... Zhu Chuideng tried hard to retract his divergent thoughts.
