He would take off his mask at night, and this was when Nangong Ziyan liked him the most because his stunning beauty was something only she could see.
"Haotian, this looks so fun! Do you want to come with us?" Nangong Ziyan ignored the anger on Beiming Haotian's face and smiled brightly. Actually, she was quite nervous. She was afraid that Haotian would get angry, but she still went along with him and said what he wanted.
"A mere trick, do you think Ximen Ruiyun wouldn't see through it?" Bei Ming Haotian scoffed.
Nangong Ziyan pouted, her disdainful expression making Nangong Ziyan feel uneasy. "Haotian, it's just a trivial trick, but as long as it works, that's fine. We just want to scare her a little."
"Wouldn't it be better to just kill her?" That was what he really meant. Last time in Ziyan Valley, if she hadn't stopped him, he would have killed that woman long ago.
"Haotian, life is precious, but killing won't solve all the problems!"
Even in this world where you either kill someone or someone else kills you, Nangong Ziyan still felt that life was precious and that one could only live once. She resented those with high cultivation levels who climbed to the top by stepping on bones to prove their abilities.
"Oh no! Someone's dead! Someone's dead!" Another noisy commotion erupted from below.
Bei Ming Haotian's eyes narrowed, and he said slowly, "Change your clothes before you come out."
"Oh!" Tian Haoze dared not be so quick to speak now, otherwise he would not have a good life in the future. Haotian was the best at scheming.
Everyone in the inn was awakened and gathered at the door of Ximen Chunxue's room on the second floor.
Bei Ming Haotian leisurely descended the third floor, where he happened to meet Baili Yuechan, who had come to see what was going on.
Baili Yuechan quickly recognized Bei Minghaotian as the Demon Lord based on his clothing. His robust physique exuded a strong aura, and his natural charisma radiated immense charm.
For a moment, Baili Yuechan was stunned, staring straight at Beiming Haotian. This was the most handsome man she had ever seen in the world. The feeling of being moved surged up again. She knew that he was the man she wanted.
Upon seeing Baili Yuechan's gaze, Beiming Haotian immediately understood what was happening. With a gentle wave of his hand, a dragon-shaped mask concealed his astonishment.
"Demon Lord." Baili Yuechan bowed slightly, her voice gentle as water. This was a gesture Baili Yuechan had never made before. Apart from bowing to her father, this was the first time she had ever bowed to the man she admired.
To her surprise, Bei Ming Haotian didn't even glance at her and left indifferently.
Even so, Baili Yuechan remained unperturbed. Only someone like Beiming Haotian could pique her interest. Her surroundings were filled with men who obeyed her every command, all fawning over her because of her status. She had never seen anyone as upright and incorruptible as Beiming Haotian. Even if he was a demon, Baili Yuechan was determined to have him. With a beautiful and confident smile on her lips, Baili Yuechan took light steps and followed him.
Nangong Ziyan and Tian Haoze, who came out together, took in Baili Yuechan's expression just now, and the two looked at each other with a puzzled expression.
"Yan'er, she seems determined to get something."
"What could be so desperate for? Of course it's you, Haotian. The only person who could have passed by here just now is Haotian." Nangong Ziyan said sourly. As a woman herself, how could she not see through Baili Yuechan's thoughts?
"What's wrong? Are you jealous?" Tian Haoze crossed his arms and looked at Nangong Ziyan. This is good, isn't it? With Yan'er's personality, she will definitely grab Haotian without hesitation.
"What are you jealous of? I'd rather eat soy sauce! You know, the most sour feeling isn't vinegar, it's sour that you don't even have the right to eat it." Nangong Ziyan glared at Tian Haoze and ran downstairs.
"Hehe!" Tian Haoze chuckled as he watched Nangong Ziyan's retreating figure. "You said you weren't jealous? It's written all over your face." He then strode after her.
"Demon Lord, tell me, what should we do? This is your territory, Demon Lord. Our people from the Western Regions are dying mysteriously on the land of the Netherworld Continent. Shouldn't you give us, the Demon Lord, an explanation?"
Nangong Ziyan had just arrived when she heard Ximen Ruiyun's voice.
But Bei Ming Haotian didn't speak, and for a moment, the silence was terrifying.
The dead were people from the Western Regions. Could it be that Ximen Chunxue was frightened to death by them? This was Nangong Ziyan's first thought. However, there were too many people surrounding them, and he couldn't see who the dead person was.
"Miss."
"Miss." Fei Ping and Fei Fan walked to Nangong Ziyan's side and greeted her respectfully in a low voice.
"Feiping, what happened?"
"Miss, a maid from the Western Regions has died. She seems to be the princess's personal maid."
"A maid?" Nangong Ziyan pondered, biting her lower lip. When was she killed? How come no one sensed it? Suddenly, a thought flashed through Nangong Ziyan's mind, and her heart sank. Could it be...?
Nangong Ziyan squeezed in without hesitation and looked at Nan Ying lying on the ground.
"You think you can get an explanation from me just because a maid died? Young Master Ximen, you've really got a death wish!" The quiet wait turned chilling when Bei Ming Haotian roared in anger.
Only Baili Jun'ao, standing at a distance, felt nothing.
"Demon Lord, don't think that just because we are on the Netherworld Continent, we in the Western Regions will fear the Netherworld Continent. Now that the person is dead, this young master only wants the truth. There are two teeth marks on Nan Ying's neck. She clearly died from having her blood drained..." Ximen Ruiyun mustered his courage and stared intently at Beiming Haotian. Nan Ying couldn't have been killed for no reason. In public, he believed that Beiming Haotian wouldn't dare to do anything outrageous. Moreover, everyone knew that Beiming Haotian was a demon, a monster. This incident would have a huge impact on him.
