Those monsters moved among the crowd as if they were in their own water.
Qi Yu squinted, looking at the clothes on those people's bodies.
They were dressed exactly the same as the Blood Fiend Cult demonic cultivators I saw in the secret realm.
This matter was indeed related to demonic cultivators.
After a moment's thought, she took out the silver hairpin that Xiao Hei had picked up earlier, which belonged to the demonic cultivator Zhu Ji.
After inserting the silver hairpin into her hair, Qi Yu took off her invisibility robe, changed into a black robe, and calmly walked towards the magnificent palace.
Although it's unclear why He Miao dared to enter the unknown space with her Foundation Establishment cultivation level, she did so because she had the system's support.
Even if all else fails, just release Fengxiao, and he'll just go on a rampage.
She had already asked before, and Feng Xiao's current strength, converted to the level of a cultivator, is at least at the Mahayana stage, and his strength is still gradually recovering.
Putting aside Feng Xiao's strange attitude towards her, based on their symbiotic contract alone, Feng Xiao could not possibly sit idly by and watch her fall into danger.
In conclusion, it's because she has cheat codes.
The demonic cultivators walking around the palace were all at the Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment stage. They were in a hurry, rushing in and out, as if preparing for some event inside the palace.
Despite his unremarkable, even somewhat unattractive, face, Qi Yu managed to blend in quite smoothly.
A tall demon walked past her without pausing, seemingly unaware that Qi Yu, the Chaos Spiritual Root whom she considered a delicious meal.
It must have been the Breath-Holding Pill that worked.
Outside the palace stood a burly man, holding a long whip in his hand. He casually lashed it at the sluggish demonic cultivators from time to time, and said arrogantly, "Hurry up! Today, Demon Lord Chenyan has awakened and is going to host a banquet for the Holy Maiden. You still dare to slack off?!"
Qi Yu's eyes flickered as she caught a few words.
Saintess...
"Hey! You over there! What are you standing there for?! If you don't work, I'll kill you and offer you to the Demon Lord Chenyan, skin you and bleed you out to use as his bathwater!" The burly man lashed out with his whip, which stretched out and almost hit Qi Yu.
Her thoughts were interrupted, and she lowered her head to follow the movements of the other demonic cultivators who were working.
A woman who looked to be in her thirties or forties pulled her aside and whispered, "Why haven't I seen you before?"
Just as Qi Yu was about to answer, the older woman said again, "Be careful, Zhang Man is not joking. The Demon Lord Shenyan wants to celebrate his awakening. He killed a whole village and used their blood to bathe him, and he still thinks it's not enough!"
"..."
"The Holy Maiden will be taking a bath and changing clothes later. You should go with them to serve her."
The older woman pointed to a group of veiled women, took out an identical veil and handed it to Qi Yu, then pushed Qi Yu into the group.
Qi Yu quickly put on her veil, stood at the very end of the line, lowered her eyes, and followed them into a room filled with steam.
In the misty haze, a slender woman, naked, soaked in a bath filled with peony petals. With her back to the crowd, she slowly poured handfuls of water over herself.
Qi Yu lowered her head and kept her heartbeat at a minimum.
After a while, the woman called the Holy Maiden stood up, and someone immediately draped a silk robe over her shoulders.
The saintess slowly walked out of the bath, went behind the screen, relaxed her body, and let the maids dress her.
After she was dressed, the saintess was led to sit down in front of the dressing table.
Someone nudged Qi Yu's hand and said, "Go and help the Holy Maiden draw her eyebrows."
Qi Yu slowly walked forward, took out something from the dressing box that looked very similar to snail-shaped ink, and slowly moved her gaze to the saintess's face.
The saintess had the face Qi Yu had expected. She smiled faintly, her almond-shaped eyes slightly curved, and said gently, "Would you please lighten my eyebrows a bit today?"
Qi Yu steadied her hand, nodded, and placed the snail-shaped ink on the saintess's delicate eyebrows, gently drawing a stroke.
Qi Yu: "..."
The saintess looked in the dressing mirror at the long, dark line that connected her eyebrows and sideburns, and fell silent.
Qi Yu stared at the snail-shaped ink in her hand, her pupils dilating in shock.
Sorry, she's never used this thing before!
How can it be so slippery!
The maid who was braiding the saintess's hair was so frightened by the sight that she immediately knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Holy Maiden, please forgive me!"
Another maid who had instructed Qi Yu to draw the Holy Maiden's eyebrows also said tremblingly, "Holy Maiden, please forgive me!!"
The saintess said softly, "It's alright, I'll draw it myself."
Qi Yu chuckled dryly as she handed the snail-shaped ink to the saintess and silently retreated to the back.
After a long while, the other maids cautiously continued to serve the saintess as she did her hair and makeup.
Qi Yuqiao slipped out without a word.
She stood by a rockery outside the door, and seeing that no one was around, she went inside the rockery and then into the space where the spring breeze caressed the railing.
Qi Yu gulped down a cup of cold tea before she finally recovered.
It really was burning my heart.
The Holy Maiden of the Blood Fiend Cult is actually Fenxin, the female protagonist of "Burning Heart Tribulation".
She called out at the top of her lungs, "Little Black!"
The Howling Moon Wolf darted in from outside the door, its tongue lolling out, its sapphire blue eyes gleaming with intelligence.
Ever since Qi Yu entered the Flying Star Sect, it has been staying in the space, wandering around catching butterflies when it has nothing to do, and it is getting bored to death.
"What's wrong, Master!"
Qi Yu grabbed its ear and said, "Back in Yinhua Market, when Chu Mo bought you, did you notice the woman next to him?"
Xiao Hei thought for a moment and said, "Is it that one who's very pretty?"
As the female lead, Fen Xin is indeed extremely beautiful. Qi Yu nodded and said, "Have you noticed anything strange about her?"
