The Demon Lord Ming Yan was absent-minded during the morning court. He couldn't help but smile when thinking about someone.
Until Long Xiao gently reminded, "Your Majesty?"
He came back to his senses, "What?"
Long Xiao assumed he hadn't heard what the man said, so he just softly repeated, "Just now, the official from the Public Affairs Department asked if you had any special instructions for the audience with the Wolf King in three days?"
The Wolf King is brutal and stubborn, and is the last group in the demon world to submit to the demon clan.
Ming Yan understood, nodded, and replied in a deep voice, "No special requirements, just a normal reception. By the way, martial law will be enforced in the Demon Palace during this period, and defenses must be strengthened until the Wolf King's team leaves."
"Yes," the people below responded respectfully.
After everyone left the court, Ming Yan dismissed his attendants and leaned back in his chair for a while. Then, remembering something, he pulled out the small mirror from his bosom and admired it for a while, smiling to himself, "I didn't expect the dignified God of War to sleep like this. If this gets out... hehe!"
After admiring it many times, he still felt unsatisfied, so he suddenly stood up and decided to go to the bedroom to see how the man was doing.
Li Shushu took a nap and got up, feeling uncomfortable all over.
Since I didn't have any other plans for today, I decided to take a hot spring bath to relax.
The maid followed her instructions and led her to a natural hot spring behind a rockery deep in the Demon Palace. It was said that soaking in it could beautify the skin, repair wounds, enhance spiritual power, and have other magical effects.
The hot spring water was a light milky white with warm steam rising from it. The palace maid also thoughtfully put many flower petals in it for her.
Because it was daytime, Li Shushu didn't take off all her clothes for fear of being seen. She only put on a thin white gauze dress and went into the water with it on.
The water temperature was neither too hot nor too cold, and it had a light aroma of milk and flowers, which was quite pleasant.
Li Shushu closed her eyes lightly and enjoyed it quietly. After a while, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Demon Lord Ming Yan arrived at the palace, but didn't find Li Shushu. He then heard from the maid that she had gone to the hot spring at the back, so he quickly headed towards the spring. As he neared the spring, he slowed down his pace...
The maids standing by saw the Demon Lord coming and were about to salute him in a hurry, but he waved his hand, silenced them, and asked them to leave.
He gently walked around the rockery and came to the hot spring. He saw the beauty with her black hair hanging down, her small face flushed by the heat, and her cherry lips especially rosy and delicate, as if tempting to be picked. When Ming Yan thought of the taste of those lips yesterday, his eyes couldn't help but darken.
Her forehead was damp, perhaps from steam or sweat, with a few strands of wet hair clinging playfully to it. Even her curled eyelashes were dotted with tiny water droplets, adding a touch of charm...
Further down, the plain gauze dress was wet by the water, half-exposed and stuck to her smooth skin. A deep groove was hidden between two white spots, appearing and disappearing with the ripples of the water.
Ming Yan's nose was instantly itchy when he saw the picture of the beauty emerging from the bath, and his Adam's apple couldn't help but roll a few times. He thought: If this woman didn't wield swords or guns, she would be quite feminine. Why didn't I notice it before?
He couldn't help but take out the mirror from his arms and took another fierce photo of the wet beauty until she closed her eyes and shouted: "Water!"
She thought it was the maid.
He quickly put away the mirror, poured her a glass of water and handed it to her...
The moment their fingers touched, she felt something different. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Ming Yan smiling with ill intent.
She quickly covered her chest reflexively: "You..., why are you here?"
Ming Yan stared at her wet, white hands covering her chest, and swallowed hard. "What are you blocking? Is there anything about you that I haven't seen?"
"You bastard, I don't want to bother with you." Li Shushu was extremely embarrassed and quickly turned around and moved away from him.
That man, however, loved to see her look like she couldn't stand him but couldn't get rid of him. He reached out and fiddled with the water, saying in a hoarse voice, "This hot spring water is good. How about we come into this water next time the Gu worm attacks?"
Li Shushu was both embarrassed and annoyed. She cursed "unreasonable", jumped up, picked up the robe hanging next to her, wrapped it around her, and slipped away.
"Hey, why are you running? If it weren't for that poisonous insect, do you think I'd want to do anything to you? Tomboy!"
Ming Yan was harsh in words but he was not annoyed in his heart. He just continued to fiddle with the water with a determined look on his face, and there was an unconcealable smile in his eyes.

Three days later, the wolf king of the wolf tribe came to see the emperor.
In recent years, the demon clan has been constantly conquering various monster clans and expanding their territory. Gradually, almost all monster clans have surrendered, leaving only the strongest wolf clan in the monster world, which has stubbornly resisted the demon clan for decades. Until recently, the wolf clan was really defeated. After years of war, the wolf population was dwindling, and the people were living in dire straits. Only then did they reluctantly surrender.
I heard that to show his sincerity, the Wolf King brought with him a lot of beauties from the demon tribe that he had collected to contribute to the Demon Lord.
On the day of the audience, the Demon Palace was filled with singing and dancing, and the Demon Lord Ming Yan specially ordered a night banquet to entertain them.
Seeing that Li Shushu was bored, he specially allowed Li Shushu to wear a veil and pretend to be a maid, and stay by his side.
Li Shushu was not happy at first. As a war god, why should she serve him as a maid?
However, Ming Yan told her that there would be top beauties from all tribes in the demon world at the banquet, and this opportunity was rare...
After all, everyone loves beauty, so Li Shushu agreed reluctantly.
The wolf clan brought quite a few beauties from the demon clan, including those from the fox clan, the snake clan, and the rabbit clan. They all had graceful and charming figures.
During the banquet, they took turns performing in the center of the empty hall, using all their skills in an attempt to attract the attention of the Demon Lord Ming Yan.
The Demon Lord Ming Yan sat upright in the main seat, but he had no intention of watching the show. He just held his chin with one hand, and occasionally glanced at Li Shushu who was watching the fun next to him.
Seeing so many beauties performing, Li Shushu actually watched them very attentively and was very envious: not only were they beautiful, but each of them also had her own unique skills, some had graceful and beautiful dance moves, and some had melodious and sweet singing voices.
On the other hand, she seemed to be unable to do anything except wielding swords and guns. No wonder others called her a tomboy. Thinking about it, she suddenly felt depressed.
The Demon Lord Ming Yan quickly noticed the change in her mood and frowned as well.
At this time, the performer was a fox beauty. She was dancing with a sword. She was spinning and flying, and she performed a set of sword techniques in various ways. It was very beautiful and attracted cheers from the people around her.
It’s a pity that Ming Yan’s mind is not on this at all now. He just stares at Li Shushu without blinking.
The fox girl slowly approached while dancing with a sword. Seeing that the Demon Lord was distracted, she felt that the time was right, so she suddenly flew up and stabbed the sharp sword straight at Ming Yan!
