The Demon Realm.
Since Qiyou and Rourou started dating, they've been inseparable, and Qiyou hasn't been taking her work seriously at all. She's practically asking for time off to date.
His current state left the Demon King, Qingcheng, both angry and helpless. Today, during the palace's routine meeting, she discovered that Qiyou was absent again. Upon inquiring with her subordinates, she learned that he had gone somewhere else with Rourou and hadn't come to the meeting. This infuriated Qingcheng so much that she almost went to drag him back herself.
"Tsk! Isn't Qiyou a bit too arrogant? He didn't even attend the regular meeting. Is he following Rou Rou around every day because he's afraid she'll run away or something?"
After the meeting ended, Qingcheng threw a tantrum in his office, saying to his white fox secretary, "Don't you think Qiyou is going a bit too far?"
"Hmm, this is probably because they've only just started dating and are still in the honeymoon phase, so Chief Qiyou wants to spend more time with Miss Rou Rou..."
The white fox secretary spoke cautiously, explaining that she had only joined the Demon King's side as his secretary this month. Because the demon realm was increasingly resembling the human realm, Qingcheng had simply followed suit and assigned herself some secretaries, assistants, and other subordinates to help with her work and handle various matters.
Hearing the secretary's words, Qingcheng's anger subsided slightly. He understood that Qiyou really liked Rourou and supported his relationship. It was just that Qiyou neglected his work now that he was in love, even ignoring the affairs of his own clan, despite them being trivial matters—things he was supposed to manage.
Therefore, Qi You's actions left him both angry and helpless; he wanted to hit someone but couldn't find anyone to beat up.
"Sigh, forget it, I'll just give him a vacation. Send him a message saying that this is a vacation for him to go on his honeymoon, but he should work hard when he comes back. It would be best if he got married as soon as he came back, so that he could stay and not run away every day."
Qingcheng instructed her fox-like secretary to send a message to Qiyou, and then left the office to go for a walk in the back garden.
But as soon as he stepped outside, he saw Lord Hongyan, who was holding a corn cob in his hand. The corn cob had been fried, and its exterior was golden brown and its taste was sweet.
As soon as Qingcheng saw the corn on the cob, she took it, put it in her mouth, took a bite, and said, "Mmm~ It tastes good. Is this one of your new products?"
"Hmm, I just made it today. How is it? Is it delicious?"
Lord Hongyan looked at Qingcheng with an expression that seemed to be seeking praise. He said, "I heard that Qiyou didn't come to the meeting again today. Did he go out to play with Rourou again? Little Qingcheng, how about we go out on a date too?"
"The corn is nice, delicious, but don't even think about dates. Do you think I'm like Qi You, who neglects his work once he has a girlfriend? I'm not going to be like him~"
While eating corn on the cob, Qingcheng walked towards the garden. He turned back to look at Hongyan Shenjun, who seemed slightly disappointed that he had rejected his date request, and said, "However, even though going on a date is out of the question, we can still take a walk in the garden~"
"This one works too~"
Hongyan Divine Lord immediately smiled and followed in Qingcheng's footsteps.
Originally, Lord Hongyan wanted to invite Qingcheng out to play because he had heard that Qiyou was traveling and having a great time with his Rourou every day. However, Qingcheng was a demon king, and he was too busy to find the time to play.
"Hey, Little Beauty, when are you going to have time to go on a date with me? Even the Demon King has holidays, right?"
Hongyan Divine Lord sat on a pavilion in the garden, his left arm around Qingcheng's waist, and his right hand feeding her corn on the cob. Qingcheng leaned against him, playing games on her phone and occasionally taking a bite of the corn on the cob.
Qingcheng said, "Actually, I think we can just stay in the garden. Why do we have to go out on a date? Isn't this place nice enough?"
"Well, I heard from people in the human realm that their dating style is more fun, so I wanted to ask you to try it out. We can also take a trip to the human realm while we're at it. Don't you want to go and have some fun in the human realm?"
Hongyan Shenjun looked at the phone in Qingcheng's hand and said, "Although the demon realm is now connected to the internet and many places are similar to the human realm, there are still some differences. I want to take you out to play~"
Qingcheng actually wanted to go out and have fun, but she had been too busy lately, so she didn't agree to go to the human realm. She looked up at Lord Hongyan, then took another bite of her corncob and said, "Alright, since you want to go to the human realm so much, then let's wait until I'm done with this busy period. Then we'll go find Jiuling together and get some free food and drinks!"
"Okay, let's discuss it then."
Human realm, 9 PM.
In the management office, Yue Jiuling, completely unaware that she was about to be freeloaded, was watching videos on her computer. The videos she was watching were actually the ones Xiaobaicai had recorded of the insects. However, because there were too many videos and they were quite chaotic, everyone in the office was working overtime to watch them, trying to figure out how Zhu Botuan died.
Holding a cup of coffee to stay awake, Mu Xiaoyi, wearing anti-radiation glasses, stared intently at her computer screen. "Ugh," she said, "what kind of bug's perspective is this? Why does it always seem to hide in the dark? I'm going blind!"
"Yours is alright, it's just the perspective of the darkness. Mine is just unbelievable. Is that a fly? It just crawled right into the sewer! And what the heck...it's disgusting!"
