Inside the Yuxing Inn, Baili Yuechan quietly awaited the arrival of night, constantly telling herself to stay strong. No matter how high the sky, she could reach the sunlight by standing on tiptoe. Fate was like the lines on her palm; no matter how winding, it was ultimately in her own hands. She wouldn't give up; she would rewrite history. Fate was meant to be changed, not adapted to. She would show men that women could also sit in the highest position, and she would trample all those men who had humiliated her underfoot…
"Knock knock...!" The knocking sound from outside pulled Baili Yuechan back to her senses, and she glanced at the door lightly.
He slowly opened his mouth and asked, "What is it?"
"Your Highness, the Demon Lord, Young Master Nangong, and Young Master Tian request an audience," Xiao Nian said respectfully from outside.
"Demon Lord, Bei Ming Haotian?" Baili Yuechan murmured softly, her eyes instantly brightening. She felt both excited and afraid. This was the first time he had taken the initiative to come to her, but it must be because of Nangong Ziyan's matter! Her good mood vanished instantly, her eyes dimmed, and all that remained in her heart was jealousy.
"I only wish to see the Demon Lord. Let him in alone."
"Yes, Princess."
Baili Yuechan quickly tidied herself up, straightened her clothes, and sat down at the tea table. Tea had always been her favorite; whenever she had time, she would brew herself a pot and savor it slowly. In the Qihe Dynasty, her tea skills were unparalleled; if she said she was number one, no one dared to claim second place. As a beginner, she found drinking tea very comfortable and developed a fondness for teaware. As a tea connoisseur, she appreciated the aroma, mellowness, aftertaste, and smoothness of the tea. Gradually, she could even discern the variety, origin, and processing method of the tea. Later, she even saw life reflected in the tea soup. True tranquility comes from within; a restless heart, whether secluded in the mountains or hidden in an ancient temple, cannot find peace. Your heart should not be a flamboyant branch, but a silent root system, hidden deep underground, unmoved by the temptations of the world. Baili Yuechan picked up the steaming teapot and poured two cups of tea.
At this moment, Bei Ming Haotian pushed open the door and walked in. He looked at Baili Yuechan and strode over to her.
"Demon Lord, please sit." Baili Yuechan smiled her most perfect smile at Beiming Haotian. Looking at his stunningly handsome face, her heart fluttered again. Her heart was pounding loudly, and Baili Yuechan's hands trembled slightly. This was the first time he had been so close to her.
Bei Ming Haotian didn't stand on ceremony. He didn't say anything, sat down opposite Baili Yuechan, and glanced at her.
He carefully sensed his surroundings, then suddenly looked at Baili Yuechan. He sensed Yan'er's presence here. His eyes inadvertently glanced at the red gemstone-encrusted spatial ring on Baili Yuechan's finger. It was a Blood Jade Spatial Ring. She did have some skill; it was a rare find in the world.
"Demon Lord, please have some tea and try Yuechan's cooking." Baili Yuechan appeared calm and composed, but her palms were actually sweaty. He moved closer to her, and his masculine aura made her want to get closer to him, which made her very infatuated.
Where is Yan'er?
Bei Ming Haotian got straight to the point; he had no interest in drinking tea right now.
Baili Yuechan's smile froze and vanished instantly. Hearing him ask about Nangong Ziyan directly, her heart sank to the bottom, making her feel that all the men in the world lived for Nangong Ziyan.
After a long pause, Baili Yuechan finally spoke, "Demon Lord, have you come to Yuechan's place to see Miss Nangong? Do you have any evidence to prove that Miss Nangong is with Yuechan?"
"There is Yan'er's scent here, and her special fragrance still lingers."
Bei Ming Haotian didn't waste any words, suppressing his anger without venting it. This was the first time he, as the Demon Lord, had restrained his emotions.
"Is this the evidence the Demon Lord spoke of? After returning from the port, Yuechan has been staying at the Desire Inn. The last time I saw Miss Nangong was when she was with the Demon Lord. The Demon Lord was certain that Miss Nangong was captured by Yuechan based on just a trace of her aura. Isn't it too unfair to Yuechan to do this? Besides, Yuechan admires the Demon Lord. Seeing the Demon Lord and Nangong Ziyan so intimate is a blow to Yuechan. Since meeting the Demon Lord, Yuechan's peaceful heart has been restless. Everything about the Demon Lord is unforgettable for Yuechan. Yuechan is deeply attracted to the Demon Lord! As long as she can see the Demon Lord often, Yuechan will be content. Yesterday, she was too heartbroken, so she didn't feel like going out."
Tears welled up in Baili Yuechan's eyes as she expressed her deep love for him. She wanted him to know her heart. During this time, she had found out his preferences. Although he seemed cold, he still had tenderness in his heart.
After hearing Baili Yuechan's words, Bei Minghaotian's face remained unmoved. The room still reeked of a putrid, fishy smell. Having been intimate with Yan'er, how could he not know the source of this smell? The affection spoken of by such a woman was not worth mentioning.
Baili Yuechan never dreamed that she would be ruined by an unwashed bed. Beiming Haotian was never short of meticulousness. Whenever he arrived at a new place, he would carefully observe the surrounding environment, which was an instinct stemming from his lack of security.
"That's your problem. All I want now is for you to hand over Yan'er. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
Bei Ming Haotian's face was gloomy, and he didn't look at Baili Yuechan again.
Baili Yuechan stared at Beiming Haotian, who wouldn't even glance at her, her eyes filled with unprecedented astonishment. Could he really not see her sincere heart? She was prettier than Nangong Ziyan, more capable than Nangong Ziyan, and of higher status than Nangong Ziyan. Everything about her was better than Nangong Ziyan's, but why could he only see Nangong Ziyan and not her?
