"Sorry, I'm not interested."
Liuyue remained unmoved.
Xiahou Cheng's expression changed. He hadn't expected that even after offering such good terms, he would still be rejected.
"Young lady, you have quite the courage! I believe few people could resist such a temptation. You are the first I've ever seen do so," Xiahou Cheng said with a smile, though he was clearly displeased but did not show it outwardly.
Is she trying to use a strategic retreat to advance her own interests, hoping to gain more?
Thinking of this, a flash of disdain crossed Xiahou Cheng's face.
"Please feel free to name your conditions, young lady," Xiahou Cheng said with a smile.
“I have no interest in the Divine Healer’s Pavilion.” She yawned. “Ah Ming, let’s go.”
"Okay." The moment Liu Yue turned around, Yin Ming's icy aura instantly softened.
Xiahou Cheng, standing still, looked extremely grim.
Completely incredulous, he, the steward of the prestigious Xiahou family, had actually been rejected? And who could refuse the position of head of the Divine Physician Pavilion!
This young girl is far too arrogant and ignorant.
After Jun Liuyue left, Xiahou Cheng summoned his secret guards: "Go and investigate the background of this little girl."
The young woman possessed an extraordinary air about her, and he dared not offend her easily. If she were the young lady of some reclusive family, he would have kicked a hornet's nest. But if she came from some small border country... then he couldn't blame him.
On a pavilion not far from the Divine Physician's Pavilion, a young man stood by the window and saw the young man who had been on the verge of death actually stand up.
"He's alive?!"
Ouyang Chen was greatly shocked. Just now, the young man was lying on the ground with only one breath left. Even the highest-ranking physician in Longdu was helpless. But in just one hour, he was able to stand up.
Although he was walking with a limp, it was a world of difference compared to when he was on the verge of death.
"Young Master, there might be hope for the Eldest Young Master!"
The guard said with delight.
"Quickly, go and invite that miracle doctor here—no, I, this young master, will go myself!"
Suppressing his excitement, Ouyang Chen pushed aside the guards and hurriedly went downstairs.
"Young Master!"
The attendant hurriedly followed.
On the bustling street, Liu Yue bought a string of candied hawthorns and handed it to Yin Ming.
"Would you like to try some?"
Liu Yue looked at the man in front of her with a smile, "It's delicious."
As a demon lord, he should have never eaten such a thing.
Yin Ming obediently bit into a hawthorn, and the sweet and sour taste exploded in his mouth instantly.
"Is it delicious?" Liu Yue also took a bite of a hawthorn. "I haven't had candied hawthorn in a long time." She remembered that in her previous life, when she was training in a human city, she came into contact with a lot of human things, and her favorite was candied hawthorn.
"It's delicious." Yin Ming nodded upon hearing this.
At this time.
Far away on the other side of the continent, in front of the Qiankun Mirror, Leng Li, seeing this scene, angrily crushed the bead in his hand.
"That bitch!"
Leng Lixin said through gritted teeth, she had followed the Venerable for many years, from the Demon Abyss to the Demon Realm now, and had never seen the Venerable treat a woman like this.
She had admired the Venerable for many years but had never confessed her feelings, assuming that the Venerable was indifferent to all women.
At least she could stay by His Majesty's side and watch him from afar.
He was content, but he never expected that his divine soul would fall in love with a lowly woman from a lowly continent during his spiritual training.
How could she accept this?
Leng Li clenched her fists and looked towards the Demon Palace. "That bitch!"
"Guardian."
Outside the hall, the voices of demon guards could be heard.
"What is it?" Leng Lixin suppressed the jealousy on her face and spoke in a cold voice.
"The Demon Princess has arrived, demanding to see His Majesty."
The demon servant broke out in a cold sweat. The princess of the demon realm was the most troublesome! A thousand years ago, she saw the Venerable One once and fell madly in love with him. For the past thousand years, the Venerable One had been asleep, and she would come to the demon palace every year to see if the Venerable One had awakened.
"Get her out." Leng Lixin was extremely annoyed with the Demon Realm Princess, but as soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something: "Wait a minute."
"Guardian Leng?" The demon servant looked at Leng Lixin, who had pushed open the door and walked out, with a puzzled expression.
"Let her in," Leng Lixin said with a smile.
Demon Servant: "Yes."
Inside the main hall.
Princess of the Demon Realm waited for a full half hour before Leng Lixin slowly walked in.
"Your Highness, I apologize for keeping you waiting. I had something come up and I was delayed. I hope Your Highness won't mind?" Leng Lixin said with a smile.
“Of course not.” Tian Wan’er stood up. “Guardian Leng, has His Majesty not awakened yet? Didn’t the High Priest say that His Majesty would awaken after a thousand years of slumber? Shouldn’t it be time by now?”
"Princess."
"Don't call me princess anymore, just call me Wan'er," Tian Wan'er said with a smile. "Protector Leng, could you please let me see His Majesty?"
Leng Lixin looked troubled: "It's not that I'm unwilling to help you, but I don't dare. However, if you want to see the Venerable One, there is another way..."
"What method?"
Tian Wan'er's eyes lit up, "Protector Leng, don't worry, once I become the Demon Lord's wife, I will definitely appoint you as the Great Protector!"
Upon hearing this, Leng Lixin's lowered eyes flashed with disdain. Fool!
How dare this idiot like her like the Venerable One? If she weren't a princess of the Demon Realm, she would have died countless times already.
“The princess is intelligent and naturally the most suitable match for His Majesty.” Leng Lixin said with a forced smile, “In recent years, although His Majesty has been in a deep sleep, a wisp of his soul has gone to the lower realm.”
"Guardian Leng, you mean..."
“Right now, His Majesty is undergoing training in the mortal realm.” Leng Lixin hesitated before continuing, “Therefore, it seems that it won’t be so soon for the princess to see His Majesty.”
"Is there really such a good thing?" Tian Wan'er's eyes lit up.
"What?" Leng Lixin pretended not to understand.
"No, it's nothing," Tian Wan'er quickly waved her hand.
Leng Lixin: "I've only told you about this, so please don't tell anyone else."
"Of course!" Tian Wan'er patted her chest confidently. "Protector Leng, this princess didn't hear anything, and Protector Leng didn't say anything!"
Upon hearing this, Leng Lixin smiled and nodded.
Having obtained the information she wanted, Tian Wan'er no longer wished to stay in the Demon Realm.
Ming-gege's soul went to the mortal realm, isn't that an opportunity given to her by the heavens?
That's brilliant!
However, it is not an easy task for people from the Demon Realm to cross the Boundless Heaven Realm from the Nine Provinces and descend to the Canglan Continent in their true form.
...
"Where is he?" Ouyang Chen asked breathlessly. He had searched the entire street but hadn't found a soul.
"Young master, I haven't found her either," the attendant panted. "Could it be that she's not even human?"
How could someone just vanish into thin air so quickly?
"Find it, even if we have to dig three feet into the ground." Ouyang Chen said, hands on his hips.
"Are you looking for me?" A cold voice suddenly appeared behind him, startling Ouyang Chen.
