Chapter 112 The True Self, Loved at First Sight

Inside Lingye City, the city was now overflowing with demons. Restaurants and shops were packed with demons, and many stalls had sprung up along the streets, all for the sake of the secret realm that was about to open not far outside the city.

Su Yu had only recently emerged from seclusion and was naturally unaware of this news. So, as soon as he entered the city, he was shocked by the scene of demons crowding together.

Fine, we'll leave once we find Twelve. It's not a big problem if we don't stay here.

Thinking this, Su Yu followed the specific location of the jade pendant she sensed, but the crowded demon horde greatly slowed her progress.

Generally, flying on a sword is not allowed within the city; this is the rule in most cities, unless it is a matter for powerful forces traveling.

"Hey! Ah Jiu! Long time no see!" A clear and cheerful voice rang out amidst the hustle and bustle.

Although Su Yu felt that the voice sounded somewhat familiar, she didn't take it seriously.

After all, there are many demons who use numbers as their names, and there are probably all sorts of people named Ajiu. Besides, his current alias is Lu Jiu, not Ajiu.

Moreover, since he heard a demon's voice respond, it couldn't possibly be calling him.

"Hey! I wasn't calling you. Hey! Why did he leave?" Hua Xian dismissed the demon who had answered the wrong question, then turned to look at her fellow disciples in shock and hurt. "Did I shout pretty loudly?"

He immediately recognized that Su Yu was the grown-up version of his former fake identity, A Jiu. They had the same hair and eye color, and she even called him by his old fake name to avoid exposing his identity.

Wan Qin, who didn't know Su Yu's former pseudonym, rolled his eyes and said, "There are plenty of demons called A Jiu, how would he know you're calling him?"

He originally wanted to say "eldest brother," but then he remembered that his eldest and second eldest brothers were still wanted by the authorities, so he swallowed the title.

Hua Xian clicked his tongue twice: "You don't understand, he must have thought it wasn't him he was calling."

He nudged Yu Ronglan beside him with his elbow: "Right?"

Yu Ronglan, who was in a daze, was barely brought back to her senses by him: "Ah, um, right?"

"What's wrong with you? You've been so distracted these past few days." Hua Xian muttered unhappily, then turned to discuss with his fellow disciples how to contact their wanted senior brother discreetly.

They had pooled their resources into a storage bag, intending to help their senior brothers whenever they encountered them. Now, these two senior brothers were stranded outside, probably like independent cultivators, and obtaining resources was not easy for them.

They couldn't find it, and with their advisor's instructions, they couldn't make their search too obvious.

No news is good news, it means the demon is alright.

Today, a medium-sized secret realm is about to open near Lingye City. Most of the idle disciples of Yuanfu have been kicked out to train. Hua Xian did not expect to see Su Yu here, although the demon did not even notice their presence.

But they figured that their senior brother was probably going to enter the secret realm anyway, so they could meet him there later.

Anyway, the second senior brother will definitely be with the eldest senior brother, so wouldn't it be better if we could see each other then?

No one noticed the unspoken words hidden beneath Yu Ronglan's calm exterior.

It's really unfortunate, his father, the Silent Water Demon King, was a subordinate of the former Demon Lord, and his family has some secret connections with the remnants of the former Demon Lord's forces.

So, a few days ago, he unexpectedly learned a little bit of the inside story of the former Demon Lord's awakening.

I wonder what the current situation is for Su Yu and his brother.

Oh well, let him just not say it.

Su Yu was completely unaware of all this. He was simply following the location to find his younger brother. He was in a hurry, and after finding his brother, he still needed to find his younger sister.

It is located at the top of the largest restaurant in the city.

In the penthouse, Feng Shi, looking weary and bored, played pitch-pot with high-grade magic stones, hitting the target every time. He was getting a little bored.

The secret realm will open at noon today, but there are too many demons coming after hearing the news. He is considering whether to slaughter them all to give himself some peace and quiet.

He was quite restrained in his previous life, but his awakening in this life was purely forced upon him, so what's wrong with being more willful?

The jade pendant tied around his waist was starting to heat up again. Feng Shi was so annoyed that he wanted to throw it away, but when he remembered how happy he was when he received the jade pendant, he reluctantly left it alone.

He was somewhat lenient with himself in this life, but the sworn brother he recognized in this life...

A cold and aloof figure flashed uncontrollably through Feng Shi's mind.

What a load of rubbish! Only demons call him "Old Minister" and submit to him. What kind of wild demon would dare to make him call him "Brother"?

He's already being merciful by not seeking revenge against this demon, considering his own past life.

Feng Shi briefly thought of the Demon Queen, then felt that these miscellaneous thoughts were meaningless. After getting tired of the little game of pitch-pot, he got up and stood by the window to look down at the street scene.

His gaze, as if guided by some strange force, was fixed on a black-clad demon walking towards the restaurant where he was.

This demon was dressed in a black robe, just like those rogue demons. Judging from the color of his hair hanging down, it should be black, which is completely different from those flashy demons. He looked mysterious and calm, low-key and reserved, yet with a dangerous aura that fascinated demons.

He himself seemed unaware that the demons around him would involuntarily push aside as he passed by, as if afraid of blocking his path.

One breath, two breaths, or even longer—he remained motionless until the figure disappeared into the building.

Sang Er, who had been pretending to be a statue guarding the door, suddenly moved and quickly rushed into the room, asking respectfully, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

The Demon Lord had kicked him into a pool before, and after he returned with the news, the matter was probably over. The Demon Lord paid him no more attention and usually acted lazy and indifferent, only occasionally asking him to run errands.

After a moment of contemplation, Feng Shi slowly spoke: "I have fallen in love at first sight."

"yes?"

Just as Sang Er was about to respond as usual, he realized that he seemed to have heard something extraordinary.

He looked up in horror.

No, this great demon rarely leaves his house since he arrived here, so where would he find someone he fell in love with at first sight...?

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, could it be him? Demon King, help me!!!

Feng Shi lowered his eyes, revealing a fierce aura. He naturally saw the fear in Sang Er's eyes and almost vomited: "It wasn't you. He also entered this restaurant just now. He was wearing black robes and had black hair. Go and investigate first. If you find out what he needs, find a reason to send it to him. Don't be abrupt or rude to frighten him."

Sang Er calmed down a bit, but her mind was still blank when it came to the fact that the Demon Lord had suddenly fallen in love with someone at first sight: "Investigate? What?"

Feng Shi cast a disdainful glance at him, saying, "Naturally, it's about family and friends, what they like, and their ideal partner type."

Sang Er thought for a moment, then realized something was amiss and cautiously asked, "What if this demon already has a mate?"
