Baili Yuechan emerged from the shadows, staring at Baili Jun'ao with a gloomy expression.
"Your Highness, please don't meddle in everything. It won't do you any good."
The somber voice carried blame and resentment.
Baili Jun'ao suddenly turned around, squinting at Baili Yuechan, who was dressed in a bright red dress in the darkness.
"What are you doing here so late?" Baili Jun'ao asked knowingly.
"Then why is His Highness here?"
Baili Yuechan didn't answer but asked a question in return.
They stopped ten steps away from Baili Jun'ao.
"I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk and some cultivation. You have a problem with that? Oh! But Chan-mei, you're not with that masked man in black from earlier, are you? Offending the Demon Lord is no ordinary offense. Chan-mei must have seen the Demon Lord's cultivation level just now! Chan-mei, please don't destroy the entire Qihe Dynasty for your own selfish reasons."
Baili Jun'ao wore an incredibly stunning smile, but his tone was laced with sarcasm and warning.
"Your Highness is too kind," Baili Yuechan said through gritted teeth. Last time, he had intentionally helped Nangong Ziyan, but he had ended up losing several million taels of silver for nothing.
"It's getting late, so I'll head back now. Please make yourself at home, Sister Chan." As he spoke, Baili Jun'ao had already floated into the sky, looking down at Baili Yuechan.
"Your Highness, please!" Baili Yuechan did not look up, but anyone could hear the anger in her tone.
In the darkness, Baili Yuechan trembled with rage. She glanced in the direction Dongfang Yifei had fled and was about to leave when she suddenly heard a noise behind her. She turned around sharply and stared intently at him.
"Who's there? Come out."
Baili Yuechan roared, and a woman dressed in red appeared, her face completely covered with a red cloth, only her two eyes showing.
"Who are you? What are you trying to do, sneaking around behind me?"
His sharp eyes were fixed on the woman in red, and he was trying to figure out her intentions.
"If you want to kill Nangong Ziyan, we can cooperate."
Facing Baili Yuechan's sharp eyes, the woman felt no fear whatsoever. Instead, she walked step by step toward Baili Yuechan, her eyes filled with a mixture of amusement and malice.
Seeing those eyes, Baili Yuechan relaxed her guard. They were kindred spirits, and her smile grew wider.
"What are your thoughts?" Baili Yuechan asked directly to the point.
"Princess, you are indeed clever! If you want news about Nangong Ziyan, I can tell you anytime. The purpose of our cooperation is for you to kill Nangong Ziyan." The woman in red spoke in a sharp and harsh voice, making it clear that she hated Nangong Ziyan to the bone. Her agitated emotions made Baili Yuechan glance at her a few more times.
"Why did you kill her?" Baili Yuechan saw the same hatred in her eyes as she did in her own. She stared intently at the woman. Could she also be...? But who could she be?
"Does the princess want to cooperate?" the woman in red asked coldly, without answering Baili Yuechan's question.
Baili Yuechan calmly pondered the other party's intentions. It wasn't hard to guess that this woman wanted to kill Nangong Ziyan, but why did she come to her?
“Miss, cooperation requires sincerity. You just appeared behind me out of nowhere and said you wanted to cooperate with me. This is a bit…”
Baili Yuechan didn't finish her sentence; she just wanted to know her identity.
"If you don't want to cooperate, then forget it."
The woman turned around, as if to leave.
"Wait!" Baili Yuechan shouted coldly, not expecting that this woman would completely disregard her.
"Very well! I agree to cooperate with you, young lady. All you need to do is send me Nangong Ziyan's daily messages."
Baili Yuechan knew that she had no way to plant spies around Beiming Haotian. If she guessed correctly, this woman must be someone from Beiming Haotian's side.
"Alright! Now I'll tell you some news: the Demon Lord plans to personally go to the South Sea Glazed Palace to propose marriage after the Wind and Cloud Tournament."
"What?" Baili Yuechan's eyes widened in undisguised surprise! Her heart suddenly felt as if it had been stabbed by a sharp knife. He actually wanted to personally go to the South China Sea Glazed Palace to propose marriage.
"Hehe! Princess, there's no need to be too surprised! Killing Nangong Ziyan will solve everything."
The woman chuckled softly, but it was filled with pain.
Baili Yuechan frowned. This woman likes the Demon Lord?
"Very well! Just provide useful information, and I will take care of everything else."
Baili Yuechan thought that this was better. Instead of going to great lengths to plant spies around Beiming Haotian, it would be more advantageous for her to cooperate with the people around him.
"I await your good news." After saying this, Baili Yuechan turned around and gracefully left.
Meanwhile, in the young master's mansion, the arrival of Hua Nongying and Hua Yubo, coupled with Sima Jiaorong's demon-summoning barrier, made Wuguzi realize the danger. Thinking that Dongfang Yifei had already succeeded, he stopped fighting and left with his subordinates with a wave of his hand.
As the saying goes, "Don't pursue a desperate enemy," Sima Jiaorong also stopped Nangong Ruichen and Nangong Jingqi from chasing after them.
“Madam Nangong, it is truly shameful that such a thing happened on the island lord’s territory.”
Hua Yubo spoke guiltily, while Hua Nongying kept her head down. Tian could only take care of one side, not the other.
"Island Lord, there is no need to blame yourself. The other party tried their best, but their plan failed. Tian'er has already chased after them, so my daughter should be alright."
"Father, you should go back first! I'll handle things here," Hua Nongying said, stepping forward.
"Alright! Madam Nangong, don't worry too much. Miss Nangong is a lucky person and will be fine. I am in the backyard of the young master's mansion. If you need anything, just send someone over and let me know, or you can tell Ying'er."
