Seeing that the night was already deep and the people in the house had already fallen asleep, the three people on the roof quietly returned to Cangwu Garden, sat at the table, and contacted Shen Wuyou——
"Nothing unusual has been found so far."
Bai Yumo spoke truthfully and added, "It's obvious that Qi Qingyun is deeply in love with the Crown Princess. If this is also an act, then it really makes people lose faith in love."
Shen Wuyou was having a headache teaching Long Aojun how to act, wanting him to act more naturally and reasonably, but the other party obviously couldn't grasp the key points, and his expressions and movements were extremely exaggerated.
She held her forehead wearily as she looked at the image emerging from the jade token and said, "There's no need to rush this. He'll eventually reveal his true colors."
"We're wondering if Qi Qingyun has truly been possessed. Judging from the emotions he expressed towards the Crown Princess, they must have been childhood sweethearts at the very least."
Yan Qingli saw clearly that the deep love hidden in Qi Qingyun's eyes was exactly the same as the look in Long Aojun's eyes when he looked at her.
It’s just that one is inferior and introverted, while the other is outspoken and unruly.
Shen Wuyou was certain that Qi Qingyun was possessed by another body, otherwise how could one explain such a huge change in a person in such a short period of time?
The strange aura was very evil. Upon careful observation, it was different from the auras of ghosts, demons, monsters, and humans that she had ever seen.
But before she could say anything, Long Aojun, who was practicing his performance across from her, suddenly cried out in surprise. He grabbed the golden fence with both hands and shouted excitedly towards her:
"Xiao Li'er—Xiao Li'er, I'm here! I'm here!"
“…”
Shen Wu glanced at him humorously, then moved the jade token down and pointed it at him, so that Yan Qingli could see his stupidity.
Yan Qingli really looked in his direction, and the more she looked, the more she felt that her guess was correct.
Look, exactly the same.
Since there wasn't anyone Shen Wuyou particularly wanted to see, she didn't bother to enter the camera. She simply pointed the jade token at Long Aojun and analyzed their situation. "There's definitely something wrong with Qi Qingyun. His strength far surpasses Long Aojun's. If he hadn't been possessed, it would be impossible for him to reach this level with his battered body."
Upon hearing this, Yan Qingli immediately asked, "Has he fought with Ao Jun?"
"No, no, no!" Long Aojun was afraid that Shen Wuyou might accidentally let something slip, so he quickly said -
"I just wanted to burn the cage, and then that sick guy came and, somehow, put out my fire."
Then he started to act pitiful to gain sympathy:
"Xiao Li'er, I can't beat him... What should I do? Am I too useless..."
Shen Wuyou's eyebrows jumped violently, he clenched his fists and just wanted to punch the guy opposite to death!
Damn, you said you can’t act?!
Isn't this aggrieved look just acting?!
Yan Qingli obviously understood him. With his arrogant personality, who would he be afraid of, even to the greatest extent possible, even if it meant fearing nothing?
But she still sighed softly and began to comfort him patiently.
That tone, like a good wife and mother!
Shen Wuyou couldn't stand it any longer and overturned the bowl of dog food, and went to talk to Bai Yumo -
"Qi Qingyun once called himself 'this Lord'. I want to know, besides the Demon Lord of the Northern Territory, who else in this world has the qualifications to be called 'Lord'?"
"Has he ever called himself that?" Bai Yumo asked in surprise.
He was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "There are many people in this world who can become kings, but the title of 'Zun'... I'm afraid there is only one Demon Zun."
One emperor and eight kings everywhere.
One is Bhagavan, the Demon Lord of the Northern Territory;
The Eight Emperors are the kings of the eight great nations;
As for this king...
The Ghost King, the Gu King, the Poison King, the Insect King, the Demon King... In short, there are too many to count.
The abilities vary greatly, with huge disparities.
This is especially true of the demon kings. Because the demon race has always been scattered and hidden throughout the world, almost every race has a king. Of course, this is just a self-proclaimed title. Most people would not recognize such self-proclaimed kings.
Apart from the Gu Clan that was wiped out that year, the only one who frightened people to the core was the Ghost King.
"Could it be a new race that has never appeared before? Or an evil spirit?" Shen Wuyou asked.
The aura around Qi Qingyun was too strange, and she felt the need to be cautious.
"That's hard to say."
Bai Yumo did not object. She knew that because the seal of Hunyuan had been loosened over the years, many evil spirits had taken the opportunity to escape and wreak havoc on the world.
Just counting the four species they encountered and caught, each with different abilities, it took some effort at first.
"We'll have to wait and see," Shen Wuyou said. "Since he has a purpose, he will definitely act again. We don't need to rush. We can just wait and see."
"We can't stay here for too long without a reason, and the royal family's reputation won't allow us to monitor him for too long." Bai Yumo said, "We asked the empress for three days. After three days, we must hand over some results to gain their trust."
"Where is Ling Wangqing?" Shen Wuyou asked.
"He followed Keshou to a cave where there were many captured demons. I heard they were items prepared for an auction."
"Auction? Buying and selling demons?"
"Not entirely."
She explained, "The annual auction of the Phoenix Power Nation gathers all kinds of rare treasures and exotic animals, exotic flowers and herbs, elixirs, high-level Horcruxes, magical treasures, and so on... In short, there is nothing they can't auction, except what you can't imagine."
"Wow~" Shen Wuyou exclaimed, then asked, "Will the entire continent gather here then?"
