Since they couldn't leave today, they decided not to. They first wandered around the city, then found a decent-looking inn to stay in. Just as they finished booking a room with the waiter, a group of demonic cultivators entered the door.
The leader was a pretty young woman. She wore a purple short skirt, had fair skin, and her exposed long legs were straight and slender. Her high nose bridge and deep-set eyes had an exotic charm. Judging from her appearance alone, she was no different from a human. She was a noblewoman.
Beside the girl stood two other women, who, though not as stunning as her, were still rare beauties. Then came a group of guards in black robes, each with a solemn expression and a long sword at their waist, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.
The waiter hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, thinking to himself, "What's going on today? Why are there two noble ladies here all of a sudden? I hope they don't cause any trouble!"
Ye Sisi and the others didn't want to cause trouble either. Their identities couldn't withstand any disruption, and their target was the Holy Demon Palace, so it was best not to create any unnecessary complications.
But sometimes things don't go as planned, and the girl's clear voice echoed throughout the inn.
"Wait a minute!"
Ye Sisi sighed helplessly. You want to cause trouble, huh? Fine, she'll play along!
So he turned around with a cold face and said indifferently, "Do you have something to say?"
A look of amazement flashed in the girl's eyes. My God, how come all these people are so good-looking? This girl must have an extraordinary background, to have such a group of top-quality male concubines. Her father didn't find her a single one.
"What's your name? I'd like to be friends with you!"
Ye Sisi was stunned. This was not the plot she had imagined. Shouldn't this guy have his eye on her room and want to take it from her? Why did he want to be friends with her?
She didn't speak for a moment, just looked indifferently at the girl who had suddenly appeared. The girl blinked, then gave a sweet smile: "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Duanmu Zi. May I ask how I should address you, little sister?"
Ye Sisi's heart skipped a beat. The surname was Duanmu! The Duanmu family was one of the three great families of the Holy Demon Palace! Wasn't this like a pillow being delivered just when you were sleepy? They were just worried that the entrance to the Holy Demon Palace was hard to find.
But she couldn't appear too obsequious, as young ladies and gentlemen from prominent families usually preferred those with unique personalities, so she said indifferently, "Just an unknown nobody!"
After saying that, she turned to go upstairs, but Duanmu Zi quickly stepped forward and said, "No, little sister, this is my first time traveling, and I just find you pleasing to the eye. Let's be friends!"
Ye Sisi took a deep look at Duanmu Zi, who seemed so innocent. Could such a bloody place as the Demon Realm produce someone with such a pure heart? She didn't believe it.
But it's okay, acting is her forte!
"I don't like making friends!" she said, then turned and walked away.
Duanmu Zi wasn't angry at all. Instead, she tugged at her arm and said coquettishly, "No, no, the food here is pretty good. How about I treat you to a meal?"
Ye Sisi coldly shook off her hand, then led Su Jiuli and the others into the room. Duanmu Zi's eyes widened in disbelief. He... they actually went into the same room!
After Ye Shubai closed the door, he set up several layers of barriers at the entrance. Only then did Su Jiuli say, "Junior Sister, don't you want to contact the Holy Demon Palace through the Duanmu family?"
After sitting down on the edge of the bed, Ye Sisi said, "Senior Brother, what you can't have always seems more alluring. Don't worry, that Duanmu Zi will come to you on her own!"
"I'll be on duty today, and I'll draw some talismans while I'm at it. You guys go into Little Fatty's space to cultivate. Senior Brother, you need to break through to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible, so we can relax without worry!"
Su Jiuli suddenly felt immense pressure. Even if he was a genius, he had only recently broken through to the next level. Did his junior sister have some misunderstanding about cultivation?
"Third Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, you too, hurry up and cultivate! We're sure to have a tough battle to fight!"
The pressure from the junior sister was overwhelming, causing the group to exchange bewildered glances. Why did the junior sister seem so intimidating?
After dismissing a few senior brothers, Ye Sisi began drawing talismans, especially simulation talismans, which were incredibly useful. Moreover, they had been in the Demon Realm for quite some time, so it was always good to have some on hand.
The demon realm has no spiritual energy, so even drawing a talisman requires setting up a simple spirit-gathering array, which is both expensive and laborious!
The door's restriction was triggered shortly afterward, and Ye Sisi knew without a doubt who it was. It took her a while before she called her senior brothers out to open the door.
Sure enough, standing at the door were Duanmu Zi and her two maids. The two maids were carrying two rather plain plates containing some snacks and side dishes. However, the faint demonic aura emanating from them made people lose all appetite. Even if one did not become possessed by demons, eating such food would not make one feel good.
Bai Luochen opened the door and said, "Miss Duanmu, my young lady is resting. Please leave!"
Duanmu Zi smiled sweetly at Bai Luochen: "Can I go in and wait? I'll see my sister after she's rested. I've prepared lots of delicious food!"
Bai Luochen looked at the food she brought and had some reservations, but still invited them in.
Duanmu Zi was very happy. Even if she couldn't see Ye Sisi, seeing her male concubines would be good too. They were all so handsome that she was almost envious. She just didn't know if she could buy one of them!
Bai Luochen and the others earnestly played the role of servants, leading Duanmu Zi to a chair and then standing aside without saying a word. The most uncomfortable one was Ye Shubai. He had never seen a girl like Duanmu Zi in his life. Her eyes seemed to want to devour them, but he had to desperately control himself from blushing. It was really tiring!
After a while, Ye Sisi finally came out from behind the screen. She was still indifferent when she saw Duanmu Zi, but Duanmu Zi was very enthusiastic: "Little sister, come and try them, they are all delicious!"
Ye Sisi sat down next to her, but didn't eat anything. Instead, she looked at Duanmu Zi and asked, "What exactly is your purpose?"
"Oh, dear sister, I really just want to be friends with you because you're good-looking. If you don't believe me, I swear on my life!"
Ye Sisi nodded without the slightest hesitation: "Okay, then send it!"
Duanmu Zi was stunned for a moment. After confirming that Ye Sisi was serious, she raised her hand to swear an oath. The two maids beside her quickly stopped her. As demonic cultivators, they were not favored by the Heavenly Dao. If they broke their oath, they would really be struck by heavenly lightning, and their souls would be scattered!
"Miss, my lady is simple-minded. If you really don't want to be friends with her, then we won't bother you any longer!"
Ye Sisi nodded calmly, "Please go ahead!"
The maid choked, "This young lady's personality is so strange! Doesn't she know how to save face or anything?"
Duanmu Zi didn't care about any of that and directly swore: "I, Duanmu Zi, swear that I have absolutely no bad intentions in approaching you. I just think you are good-looking. If there is any falsehood in this, may I be struck by lightning!"
Ye Sisi never expected this girl to be so bluffing. Is this the legendary "rising from the mud unsullied"?
