Chapter 67 Interacting

As the deputy head of Yuehu Tower, Zang Yeyu came to Tianman Palace to report to Feng Mingye on the tasks completed this month.

But at the end, she hesitated for a moment, as if considering whether or not to say it.

In the hall, Feng Mingye smoothed his sleeves, his tone cold:

Why are you hesitating?

"Your Majesty," Zang Yeyu quickly lowered his head to show respect, and said slowly, composing himself:

"Today I noticed something strange about Yu Jingwu, who is also a deputy building manager..."

Before this, in order to win the position of the leader, she had spoken ill of Yu Jingwu to Feng Mingye countless times, saying that he was either addicted to beauties and wine and women or vulgar and rude.

But this time, it's really a bit strange.

Upon hearing this, Feng Mingye sighed. Zang Yeyu seemed to realize she had been misunderstood and quickly blurted out:

“This time is different from before. This time he is like a different person, and there is also an unfamiliar guard by his side.”

"Oh?" Feng Mingye raised his eyes slightly, a hint of interest in his fox-like upturned eyes. He leaned forward slightly, resting his chin on his hand, and asked:

"This is indeed true; what you say is true."

This was the first time it hadn't been rejected, and Zang Yeyu felt a slight joy.

It was previously said that Yu Jingwu was obsessed with beautiful women and wine, but Feng Mingye would say that no one was more obsessed than himself.

Feng Mingye said that Yu Jingwu was vulgar and rude, but then said that no one was more rude than himself.

In short, Zang Yeyu became wiser over time. Now that she saw Feng Mingye was interested, her mind immediately started working. She thought that no matter how strange Yu Jingwu was, getting him down was the most important thing. So she promised:

“If I have fabricated this, then Your Majesty may investigate and strip me of my position.”

"Since that's the case..." Feng Mingye's gaze deepened for a moment, then he smiled and slowly gave the order:

“Go and tell him that I have prepared a banquet and that he should come quickly.”

It was a different person, a stranger as a guard.

Such extraordinary actions, Su Yunyu, could it be you?

*

When Su Yunyu received the so-called invitation from the Venerable Lord, she was first startled, wondering why Feng Mingye had suddenly summoned her.

Then he was overjoyed. He had been planning how to get close to them under this identity, and now the opportunity had come.

So he reviewed his memories of this identity again, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, he went to Tianman Palace with Xiao Shuying.

The Tianman Palace is located in the center of the entire Demon Realm, and is also the place with the most concentrated demonic energy. The blood-red glazed tiles and blood-red walls, after pushing open the palace door, can be seen at a glance the red-clad figure in the palace.

However… Su Yunyu looked around and found that this so-called banquet seemed to have only invited her and Xiao Shuying.

The table was laden with exquisite and numerous dishes, and guards stood by the side, but there was no sign of any other owners.

Could it be that something has been discovered? But it shouldn't have been exposed so quickly.

As they were pondering this, Feng Mingye descended the steps of the hall, his silent gaze sweeping over the two people before him like a light cloud or mist.

Yu Jingwu seemed no different from before, still unkempt, lazy, and slow-moving, except for the guard beside him…

Feng Mingye's gaze deepened. He knew that if this person was indeed Xiao Shuying, then he must be extraordinary.

As he was observing, Xiao Shuying had already feigned fear and hesitation, lowering her expression and not daring to look directly at his face.

Then Feng Mingye chuckled twice and said:

"Deputy Director, please take a seat."

As the saying goes, "When you encounter water, build a bridge; when you encounter mountains, open a road." Given his invitation, Su Yunyu naturally accepted without hesitation.

But as soon as he sat down, Feng Mingye's infuriating voice rang out from the hall:

"Does the Deputy Lord know why I invited you today?"

Su Yunyu pretended to be handling the chopsticks with ease, but in her heart she was cursing this guy for liking riddles so much.

If it weren't for his declining cultivation and the fact that he couldn't defeat Feng Mingye due to the influence of the blood seal, why would he have to swallow his anger like this!

Helpless, he desperately tried to think of a reason, but how could he find a definite answer among so many memories?

Never mind, with Long Aotian, the chosen one of heaven, by my side, and with his added luck, I can just casually answer any question.

Therefore, Su Yunyu felt quite at ease and said:

"The Lord is surely rewarding me for my meritorious service in killing people."

In the demon realm, the higher you climb, the more people you have to kill. Demon cultivators often clash with cultivators every few days in order to compete for resources.

Over time, this feud was formed. One day, the demon realm would steal a treasure, and the next day, a cultivator would defeat a demon cultivator's attempt to plunder it.

Therefore, the Twelve Towers were specifically tasked with eliminating those who had grudges against the Demon Realm. Of course, they also targeted those who had no such grudges. If Zang Yeyu was responsible for cleaning up the mess, then Yu Jingwu was responsible for drawing blood.

Upon hearing this answer, Feng Mingye smiled, his expression showing magnanimity, yet he remained relentless:

"Then do you know why I'm treating you separately?"

Upon hearing this question, Su Yunyu smiled slightly:

"Because the Lord does not want to reward others."

This answer was perfect, perfectly fitting the character's image of having all strength but no brains.

As expected, Feng Mingye's smile deepened, and he beckoned to Su Yunyu with his finger:

"The deputy host is becoming more and more witty. How about coming up for a drink with me?"

Su Yunyu's eyes immediately lit up. What a great opportunity! She could take advantage of Feng Mingye's lowered guard and win him over.

So he ignored Xiao Shuying's tightly pursed lips and walked directly to the hall, deliberately making a loud thumping sound as he climbed the steps.

After taking a seat next to Feng Mingye, Su Yunyu was looking for an opportunity when Feng Mingye chuckled softly:

Why is the deputy host working so far ahead?

Su Yunyu glanced at the distance; it was clearly the closest available seat, how could it be considered far?

But Feng Mingye patted his spot a moment later, then moved a little to the side, making room for a more spacious area.

"Deputy Director, please sit here."

"..."

Su Yunyu was somewhat shocked, thinking that Feng Mingye had actually given her half of the throne; the distance was simply too great…

There's a very good chance.

Just thinking about how he could take down Feng Mingye by surprise and then carry out the plan after breaking the blood seal made Su Yunyu extremely eager. Almost without hesitation, she sat down next to Feng Mingye.

This body of "Yu Jingwu" was indeed quite burly. Although it wasn't too cramped to sit down, Su Yunyu still had close contact with Feng Mingye—

They were almost touching, and his slightly cool body temperature was directly transmitted to their skin, as cold as a snake, and even the silky feel of his red robes fluttering was incredibly clear.

That's strange, Feng Mingye doesn't seem like the kind of person who likes close contact with others.

Especially with my current appearance, nobody would have an appetite looking at me...

No, why think so much? He wants to finish this quickly!

Just as Su Yunyu made up her mind to summon the Snow Blossom Sword and mobilize the spiritual energy around her, she suddenly felt a warm sensation at her waist.

Startled, Su Yunyu trembled immediately, her spiritual energy freezing in place. Her gaze fell to her waist, where she saw Feng Mingye's outstretched hand.

His body usually dressed very recklessly, with a piece of animal skin draped over his shoulders and another leopard skin underneath, basically nothing else. As for his waist, there was absolutely no clothing to cover it.

So much so that when Feng Mingye's hand touched them, it was as if the two of them could feel the collision of their blood even through a layer of skin.

How bizarre.

Su Yunyu stared blankly, almost frozen in place.

When did Feng Mingye change his tastes? He can even bring himself to hurt someone as big and burly as him.

Last time they even used him as a model to find a body double, and now they're not even sparing their own subordinates. Bah, what a dissolute person.

Just as the atmosphere became somewhat strange, a sound came from His Highness. Feng Mingye withdrew his hand and looked up to see that Xiao Shuying had broken a bowl and was now cleaning it up.

That's enough.

He seemed to see through something, and smiled, saying:

"Go to Yuehu Tower and see if Zang Yeyu is there. You don't need to stay here."

He could now confirm that the two were Su Yunyu and Xiao Shuying. The former's temperament was completely different from Yu Jingwu's in the past, not to mention that when he reached out to touch her, she even trembled awkwardly.

You should know that Yu Jingwu, who has seen countless people, would not do such a thing.

As for the latter... he was probably a little provoked, which caused him to lose his composure.

Xiao Shuying was pretending to clean up the broken bowls to calm his rage when he saw Feng Mingye place his hand on Su Yunyu's waist. Heaven knows he almost couldn't keep up the act for that moment.

But he couldn't ruin Su Yunyu's plans. In his emotional turmoil, he accidentally broke the bowl. Now, hearing that Feng Mingye wanted to send him away, he paused for a second.

What is he trying to do? Su Yunyu has clearly disguised herself as the crude Yu Jingwu, so why are Feng Mingye's words and actions so ambiguous?

No, he has to stay here...

Just as things were about to reach a stalemate, Su Yunyu quickly took the initiative and spoke first:

"My lord, perhaps I should send someone else to check on him. This fellow is new to Moon Tiger Tower, and his actions are often questionable..."

Before he could finish speaking, Feng Mingye interrupted him:

"Since the deputy head of the building has put it that way, how can I refuse?"

This time it was Su Yunyu's turn to be taken aback. He was prepared to be rejected or even for Feng Mingye to get angry, but he was surprisingly easy to talk to.

Feng Mingye waved his hand and sent another person to Yuehu Tower to handle the matter. He looked at Su Yunyu beside him, whose eyes were lively and intelligent, and felt a little happy. Even the somewhat crude disguise did not bother him.

Su Yunyu breathed a sigh of relief, intending to once again launch a surprise attack and capture Feng Mingye, when unexpectedly, the man suddenly stood up, walked a few steps away, took out a Qiang flute, and looked over, teasingly saying:

"Doesn't the deputy lord usually enjoy dancing to music? How about I play a tune for you today?"

"..."

Su Yunyu almost thought she had misheard.

What does it mean to dance to a song? What does it mean to accompany a piece of music?

It's surprising that Yu Jingwu, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, has such a strange hobby.

He stubbornly searched through the memories of the demon pill and found that it really was true, and that this Yu Jingwu actually liked to dance at the Phoenix Night Banquet.

Su Yunyu froze on the spot again, feeling somewhat unbearable. She thought that rather than making him dance, it would be better to just confront him directly.

Just as she was struggling, Xiao Shuying said softly:

"My Lord, our Deputy Lord has been having difficulty walking lately and is truly unable to help."

With his current cultivation level, even if Feng Mingye discovers his identity, he would not be afraid to face him.

If it weren't for the fact that he shouldn't reveal his true cultivation level to Su Yunyu at the moment, he wouldn't need to disguise his identity and feign compliance.

Upon hearing this, Feng Mingye's smile turned cold, a bittersweet smile playing on his lips.

"What should I do? I'm so disappointed."

The next moment, the tone shifted:

"Since you are so loyal, why don't you dance this dance for him?"
