After listening to Yuan Qi's report, Ming Cang said indifferently, "Forbid the demon race from setting foot here."
“But if the Demon Lord disagrees, they will force their way in, disregarding the contract.” Yuan Qi observed Ming Cang’s reaction as he spoke.
"If they want to do that, then let the contract be null and void. Go." Ming Cang's eyes were cold, showing no concern for the contract between demons and monsters to coexist peacefully.
Yuan Qi did not reply, but stood there for a while, hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to say something.
Ming Cang glanced at him indifferently and said coldly, "Yuan Qi, don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Yuan Qi dared not say anything more and left the hall.
He captured a demon slave inside the demon palace and asked, "Where is Ning Xue?"
"Reporting to Palace Master Yuanqi, Palace Master Ningxue is delivering the meal."
"Deliver food? Deliver it to where?"
"The Demon Lord's bedroom."
After listening, Yuan Qi waved to the demon slave, and the demon slave withdrew.
At that moment, Ning Xue brought the food to Mu Tiantian's bedroom and knocked on the door.
Upon hearing the voice, Mu Tiantian sat up and adjusted her black robe. "Come in."
She glanced down at the black robe; she would have to ask Ming Cang to get her a few more clothes later.
Ning Xue wore an extremely gentle smile to show that she was very friendly.
However, when she saw Mu Tiantian sitting on the bed, draped in a dark robe, her smile faltered.
Her alluring eyes were filled with jealousy and murderous intent.
However, these emotions quickly vanished as if they had never existed.
"This is the food that the Demon Lord asked me to bring you. Please try it and see if it suits your taste." Ning Xue's voice was gentle, and she was beautiful and seemed quite friendly.
Mu Tiantian got out of bed and went over to her, thanking her, "Thank you."
"You're too kind, young lady." Ning Xue acted as if she wanted to befriend her, and pulled her hand to sit on the stool.
At this moment, Ning Xue noticed the silver rings on Mu Tiantian's hands and feet and asked in surprise, "Miss, what's wrong with you...?"
Mu Tiantian said nonchalantly, "It's nothing."
She looked at the food on the table; it looked good and smelled delicious.
System: [Friendly reminder: This food is made with insects, the rotting corpses of demons, and skull powder. If you eat it, you'll probably lose half your life.]
Mu Tiantian almost threw up after hearing that.
Mu Tiantian: [Did I offend this woman? Why is she treating me like this?]
System: [Perhaps... this is what people in the underworld eat?]
Mu Tiantian: [...]
Mu Tiantian complained: 【You have such a wild imagination.】
"Why aren't you eating, young lady?" Ning Xue asked softly.
Mu Tiantian smiled and said, "I'm not very hungry right now. I'll eat later."
"May I ask what your name is, young lady? Are you a demon or a monster?" Ning Xue began to try to get closer to Mu Tiantian, but she couldn't figure out what her true form was.
"A rabbit demon possessed by evil, my name is Mu Tiantian, what's yours?"
"I am Ning Xue, the palace mistress serving the Demon Lord. I am here to attend to the Demon Lord." Ning Xue emphasized the latter part of her sentence before asking Mu Tiantian, "May I ask what the relationship is between Miss Mu and the Demon Lord?"
After thinking for a moment, Mu Tiantian said, "I'd say we're enemies."
"An enemy?" Ning Xue asked curiously. "Why do you say 'enemy'?"
"I wonder how much Miss Ning Xue knows about the Demon Lord?" Mu Tiantian asked in return.
Clichés, anyone can use them.
Now she understood why this woman had used these foods to disgust her. It turned out that she liked Ming Cang, and that's why she got angry when she saw Ming Cang being close to her.
“I heard that the Demon Lord is a god from the Heavenly Realm. He became possessed by demons during a great battle with the Underworld, which is why he came to the Underworld.” After Ning Xue finished speaking, she glanced around and then leaned close to Mu Tiantian and whispered, “Actually, according to the rules of the Demon Palace, we are not allowed to discuss the Demon Lord in private.”
"I'm only telling you this, so don't tell anyone else." Ning Xue said seriously, as if she and Mu Tiantian were very close and exchanging secrets.
Mu Tiantian nodded, seemingly believing her.
Ning Xue continued, "However, the Demon Lord is very good to me and spoils me, so even if he knows what I'm saying, I don't think he'll be angry."
She was implying indirectly that Ming Cang liked her and was interested in her.
She spoke these words with a face full of happiness, as if she were not a palace mistress, but a demon queen pampered by Ming Cang.
But Mu Tiantian had heard that Ming Cang had been extremely cold towards her outside the door.
Now Ning Xue is starting to put on an act.
"After listening to what Miss Ning Xue said, it seems the Demon Lord likes you quite a bit?" Mu Tiantian asked, following up on her words.
Ning Xue smiled happily without saying anything; that smile was her tacit agreement.
Mu Tiantian raised an eyebrow slightly, picked up a plate of food from the table and placed it in front of Ning Xue, "I had a pleasant chat with Miss Ning Xue today, come and eat with me."
Ning Xue quickly declined, saying, "These were all prepared by the Demon Lord for you, Miss. I can't eat them."
"Didn't Miss Ning Xue just say that the Demon Lord treats you specially? Then you can eat without worry, the Demon Lord definitely won't mind." Mu Tiantian said even more seriously than she did.
Ning Xue stared at the food she was brought over. No matter how beautiful the food looked, it looked like a bunch of bugs to her, making her feel nauseous.
Seeing that Ning Xue wasn't eating, Mu Tiantian brought over another dessert, "Come on, Miss Ning Xue, have a couple of bites."
"I'm not hungry right now, Miss Mu, please eat." Ning Xue smiled awkwardly, thinking maliciously to herself, "Why is this bitch so enthusiastic towards me?"
Could she tell that something was wrong with the food she was delivering?
Mu Tiantian continued to warmly entertain her, seemingly not hearing her words, and even fed her, "Miss Ningxue, have a couple of bites, they won't taste good if they get cold. You must be very tired as the Palace Master."
As she spoke, Mu Tiantian almost stuffed the pastry into Ning Xue's mouth.
"I said I won't eat it." Ning Xue couldn't stand it anymore and slapped the hand that Mu Tiantian was feeding her, accidentally hitting the silver ring on her wrist.
Suddenly a flash of silver light appeared, and Ning Xue was thrown back by the light, her palm burning slightly.
Mu Tiantian originally wanted to grab Ning Xue's hand that was hitting her and then force the pastry into her mouth.
Mu Tiantian was somewhat surprised that Yin Huan had injured her.
Seeing the shock and anger on Ning Xue's face, Mu Tiantian stopped pretending and put away her smile.
She threw the pastries in her hand at Ning Xue, and the pastries instantly turned into disgusting worms.
Ning Xue used a spell she loathed to burn the insects to ashes.
Mu Tiantian didn't stop what she was doing; she continued to pick up the food on the table and throw it at Ning Xue.
Ning Xue quickly stood up. The plate crashed to her feet, shattering on the floor, and the food was completely restored to its original, disgusting state.
Mu Tiantian clapped her hands and said coldly, "Miss Ning Xue, this is the first time we've met. I'm not worthy of such a grand gift, and I have no chance to enjoy these delicacies."
