Upon seeing Jiang Haitian, Ding Bu'er immediately put on a fawning expression and approached him, saying, "Vice-Commander Jiang, I am Ding Bu'er, and I greet you."
Looking at that smug face, Jiang Haitian simply raised his hand, and the door behind him slammed shut instantly.
"What do you want from me?"
After saying that, he ignored Ding Bu'er and went straight to the main seat to sit down.
Ding Bu'er immediately jogged to catch up with him: "By order of Empress Moxi, I have come to invite Vice-Leader Jiang to attend the court assembly of Moxi Palace tomorrow to discuss the future of the Demon Realm."
Jiang Haitian sat upright in the armchair, casually picked up an apple and a dagger from the table, and calmly began to peel them.
"Why does the Empress want me to attend the court assembly at the Demon Breath Palace?"
"How would I know?"
As she spoke, she snatched the half-peeled apple from Jiang Haitian's hand, turned around, and sat down on the guest chair.
Their movements were as practiced as if they were family.
"Heh, Ding Bu'er, you dare to steal my things? You're getting more and more lawless."
Upon hearing this, Ding Bu'er immediately swallowed the apple and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, stop pretending. There are no outsiders here, so let's be straightforward."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Do you really have to spell it out? I knew it was you the moment I saw you looking like this."
Besides you, who else could put on such an air? Even Liang Hao couldn't handle you in this situation.
But you're acting like nothing happened, still pretending. I said, "Heavy..."
"Shh..."
Jiang Haitian made a shushing gesture.
"Sometimes it's better not to be too blunt. Isn't it better to leave some room for interpretation?"
Ding Bu'er: "There are no outsiders here, can't we just speak frankly?"
Jiang Haitian smiled, pushed up his sunglasses, and said to Ding Bu'er, "Master Ding, sometimes being too smart isn't a good thing. Be careful, or you'll get yourself into trouble."
“I understand the reasoning. It’s a rare opportunity to leave the palace, so ask me whatever you want to know quickly. If you’re late going back, that shameless woman might castrate me.”
"Tell me, where is the Chaos Demon Orb hidden on the Demon Empress's body?"
"Could you start with something simple? You're asking such advanced questions right away, which puts me at a disadvantage."
"Do you have troop deployment maps for Qingtian Gorge and Moyun Cliff?"
"No, I really don't. I just work as a secretary in the Demon Breath Palace, occasionally serving tea and such. How could I possibly have access to these kinds of things?"
"What level has the Demon Empress reached in cultivating the Evil Heaven Demonic Aura?"
"My cultivation level is only at the ninth grade of Body Tempering, so I can't see such a high level of cultivation technique."
Jiang Haitian burst into laughter when asked what he didn't know.
"So what the hell have you been doing for the past six months? Traveling on public funds?"
Ding Bu'er: "Of course it's about saving my life. We're not like you. No one dares to target you no matter how reckless you are, but we can't do that."
"One wrong move and your head could be on the line, so ask me about things I can handle."
Jiang Haitian: "Stop pretending. Tell me everything you know. It's been half a year. I've already set up my plan. All that's missing now is the Chaos Demon Orb and a way to deal with Dongfang Xiong from Wushang Peak."
Ding Bu'er: "What, you even have arrangements in the Demon Abyss?"
"When have I ever devised a plan I wasn't confident about?"
Ding Bu'er tossed the leftover apple core aside and casually picked up the cigar on the table.
"That depends on what you want to hear. Is it the Empress's private life, or the playthings around her?"
"Interesting, get to the point."
"Let's start with the Empress's boudoir. She has at least a hundred or so beautiful women serving her in bed, but recently the most favored is that Lin Xian'er."
"That's right, it's Lin Xian'er, the one you had a verbal argument with today, the one you arranged to have captured me."
Jiang Haitian frowned slightly, picked up the prayer beads he had just bought at the auction, and started to spin them.
"So, the Demon Empress really does like women?"
Ding Bu'er shook his head: "You wouldn't know this, you'd be shocked to learn it, but actually, all these women were originally men."
She was somehow transformed into a woman by the Demon Empress, a true woman, both physically and mentally identical to a woman!
"The Chaos Demon Orb, ha..."
Jiang Haitian went straight to the heart of the problem.
Only the Chaos Demon Orb can re-enter Yin and Yang into chaos and create a new life.
But while a person's physical structure and even voice can be changed, how can the mind and soul be changed?
The so-called "true woman" must possess other special qualities that require further understanding and exploration.
But these are not the main points.
"Have you found out Lin Xian'er's true identity?"
"Not at the moment. Why are you interested in her?"
Jiang Haitian got up and walked to the windowsill, gazing at the dark night sky, letting the moonlight reflect on the surface of his sunglasses.
"No, it's just pure curiosity. Why would such an idiot have such an ambition to seize power in his eyes?"
Ding Bu'er: "Tell me, what do I need to do next?"
"Continue doing what you're supposed to do, don't reveal the slightest clue, and thoroughly investigate the secret of the Chaos Demon Orb on Leng Qingcheng's body. I'll contact you again after I attend the court assembly tomorrow."
Ding Bu'er shook his head: "Sometimes I really admire you. You either don't make a move at all, or when you do, it's a huge undertaking."
I thought that once you took Yu Xiyan away, this journey to the Demon Realm would be over.
I never expected you to want such a big one. Miss Su is so lucky; I'm so envious..."
Jiang Haitian interrupted his statement: "Rescuing Yu Xiyan would be as easy as turning your hand, but do you know why I didn't do it?"
