"Other features?"
Di Miao was stunned for a moment, frowning as he pondered for a moment before saying, "This morning, my father asked me to send a pureblooded human slave to keep him company. Since there were none in the slave prison, I sent two half-demons from the Broken-Tailed Fox Clan to fill the gap. Unexpectedly, the distinguished guest recognized them instantly, and in the moment he was still laughing, he snapped the necks of the two half-demons. My father also scolded me for this."
"this morning?"
Xiang Sheng's eyes fixed instantly, "He is here right now?"
Di Miao nodded, "Yes, if the master wants to know, I can try it again."
"No rush."
Xiang Sheng rejected Di Miao's proposal, his eyes filled with contemplation.
He's moody and prone to killing people—a completely different temperament from the eldest brother. And he's lingering in the Rift Demon Valley at this very moment...
"Master, the king sent someone to tell you that he wants you to go to the banquet again."
Suddenly, the sound of the bull demon was heard outside, interrupting Xiang Sheng's thoughts.
"Going to the party again?"
Di Miao looked surprised. He had just suggested going to test it out, but he didn't expect the host to disagree. Instead, he received a message from the banquet.
He glanced at Xiang Sheng and then asked, "Did Father say anything else?"
“No.”
Di Miao frowned and said, "I know. I'll go right away."
After dealing with the bull demon, Di Miao immediately turned around and said respectfully, "Master, please stay here for now. I'll be back soon."
"No, you must send me back to the slave prison first."
Xiang Sheng shook her head and refused. She would be too conspicuous here alone. It would be better to go back just in case.
The slave prison was dirty and smelly, so Di Miao naturally didn't want to go back to Xiang Sheng, but since his master had given the order, he dared not disobey and could only respond with a low "yes".
"Also, your father summoned you..."
Xiang Sheng pondered for a moment, then suddenly pinched his hands together and performed the teleportation technique. Then he reached out and wiped his face. His appearance immediately changed slightly. At the same time, his hair fluttered, and two inconspicuous black animal ears appeared.
Di Miao was shocked when he saw this change, "Master, what are you doing..."
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."
Xiang Sheng reached out and touched Di Miao's brow, sending a wisp of divine consciousness through. "This wisp of divine consciousness contains my backup plan. If you are asked about related topics, it will be triggered. Remember to answer according to the divine consciousness's prompts. There is no way you can make any mistakes."
"yes!"
Di Miao agreed solemnly, then calmed himself down and slipped out of the nest.
As soon as Fang left the room, Di Miao's respectful expression immediately vanished, and he became furious. He scolded him coldly, "Send that half-demon back, or I'll settle the score with you later!"
When the bull demon heard this, he was stunned.
Half-demon?
Before he could ask any further questions, the bull demon saw that his master had already flown away, so he had to go into the nest to check on him.
When it saw Xiang Sheng's pair of black velvet ears, it immediately understood what was going on.
It turns out this woman isn't a pure-blooded human, but a half-demon with subtle demonic features. No wonder her master was so furious...
What does this have to do with him? The half-demon was brought back by the master himself.
The Bull Demon sighed, feeling aggrieved. Without saying anything more, he took Xiang Sheng and left.
A moment later.
But with a loud "bang", the iron door of the slave prison opened again.
Lan Xiu, who was huddled in a corner with her hands on her knees, looked dazed. When she heard the voice, she subconsciously looked up and immediately saw the Bull Demon and Xiang Sheng appear outside the cell.
Her eyes immediately widened, "Yue'er?!"
The bull demon ignored Lan Xiu's cries, opened the cell door, and threw Xiang Sheng in like throwing a rag. Then he left without even looking at him.
Lan Xiu quickly crawled over to check. Seeing no signs of bites on Xiang Sheng's body, she felt relieved, but still asked nervously, "What did Di Miao do to you?"
Xiang Sheng shook his head. "Lord Di Miao wanted a pure-blooded human slave. When he found out I wasn't one, he got furious. Just as he was about to attack, he was summoned away. I was lucky to escape."
After hearing this, Lan Xiu noticed the two small black ears on Xiang Sheng's head and couldn't help feeling puzzled.
She had been taking good care of the girl these days and hadn't noticed anything unusual about her hair. So where did these animal ears come from?
Is it because the colors are similar and I didn’t notice it?
While the two were talking, the half-demons who were eavesdropping nearby showed disappointment.
"I thought it was rare to see a pure-blooded human, but it turns out to be a half-demon."
"I guessed it a long time ago. Human bodies are weak. If she were a human, how could she survive such a serious injury?"
"Our half-demons' self-healing abilities are even greater than those of humans..."
When Lan Xiu heard the discussions around her, her doubts were immediately resolved.
Yes, she knew very well how serious the girl's injuries were. If she were a human, she would have died long ago. Only a half-demon could survive.
These ears are similar in color to my hair and are exceptionally small. I probably really overlooked them.
Thinking of this, Lan Xiu suddenly thought of something, sighed softly, and said: "Yue'er, I'm afraid that you are able to come back alive this time, it's not just luck.
Most of the demons in the Rat King's territory prefer to eat flesh and blood. Di Miao didn't eat you because he probably thought your ears were small and hidden in your hair, so he could pass them off as pure-blooded and sell them for a high price."
"I see."
Xiang Sheng pretended to be suddenly enlightened and felt quite relieved. Lan Xiu was able to justify herself, which saved her from having to explain herself.
"Yue'er, come sit with me."
Lan Xiu suddenly spoke again, pulled Xiang Sheng to sit in a corner of the cell, blocked the view of others with her body, quickly took out a hairpin from her hair and handed it to Xiang Sheng.
"Yue'er, you saved my life. I have no way to repay you, so I can only give you this."
Xiang Sheng immediately shook his head and refused: "Sister Lan, I just happened to wake up at that time. It was unintentional and not intentional to save you. I feel guilty about accepting this."
