Chapter 106 Be Normal, I'm Scared
After leaving the pavilion, Yuan Shengshuang immediately took the demon back to the Yuan family and convened a meeting of the core elders.
Aside from creating the illusion that their Yuan family was also troubled by the unrest caused by those who had no chance to be together, the main purpose was to clarify the deal with Su Yu, since she still needed the family's help.
"The matter is settled. I have signed a contract with that demon. I hope you will all do your best."
Of course, Yuan Shengshuang did not reveal Su Yu's identity, only saying that she had encountered an opportunity and made some connections with a great demon, and received the other party's help. This was a great opportunity for the Yuan family to rise to prominence.
The elders, caught off guard by the news, exchanged bewildered glances. Several offered their opinions tactfully: "Young Master, isn't this a bit too fast?"
If this is fake, and the Yuan family has offended other powerful forces, they will be ostracized and utterly destroyed.
Yuan Shengshuang slammed the tray onto the conference table.
"It's genuine. It can keep those old fogies sealed for three hundred years."
The worried elders looked closely and gradually their faces lit up with joy.
"He can seal the Void Refinement stage? Hey, I remember that old man from the Wang family is about to enter the early stage of the Pseudo-Integration stage. I'll find him and fight him tomorrow and knock down his cultivation level."
“That’s good. Then I’ll go find the Sun family. We’ll wait a while, find an excuse, and then go after the other old guys from different families.”
"Haha, great idea! Let's do it the way Third Sister suggested!"
Another major reason why Baicheng has not produced a city lord is that if any elder or ancestor of a family is about to break through, the elders and ancestors of other families will gang up on them and bring down their demonic cultivation level. Unless everyone breaks through, the levels of each family have remained roughly the same for many years.
This thing is great. It only seals, and it won't harm the demon's life. This means other factions no longer have a reason to fight to the death to stop them.
They all possessed magical artifacts capable of fighting powerful cultivators, but most were killing weapons that their respective families rarely used. The sealing array plate was far more useful.
The elders, their worried expressions vanished, and they eagerly discussed how to trick the demon. They praised Yuan Shengshuang, saying that she was indeed the hope of their old Yuan family, and that she was quick, accurate, and ruthless in her actions, far more capable than the worthless heir demons of other families.
The young master is a shoo-in for the city lord. He can handle things on his own. Once things are settled, we can kick the young master's father off the throne and make way for the young master. That way, if things don't work out, we can use the young master's father as a shield for the young master. That would be the patriarch making a contribution to the Yuan family.
After all, the current patriarch wasn't particularly outstanding when the old patriarch was still alive. The old patriarch gave him the position purely to pave the way for Yuan Shengshuang, an excellent disciple.
After the meeting ended, the Grand Elder led several demons to hold a large meeting with several forces to discuss how to capture the troublemaking demons, leaving Yuan Shengshuang sitting quietly in her original position for a long time.
The maidservant bowed, ready to serve.
Yuan Shengshuang's eyes were cold and deep: "Lock up the backyard. Before this is done, the head of the family is not allowed to leave the house at will."
That guy who talks nonsense when he's drunk should just stay in the backyard and be less of a worry.
"Yes." Ru accepted the order without any objection and went to carry it out.
Yuan Shengshuang looked down at the array plate she was playing with. Perhaps her mother was one of the people in the backyard. However, she had seen her mother before when she dealt with those useless and unruly brothers and sisters. There were a few men and women who expressed their desire to leave, and she had allowed them to.
Hopefully, her mother was one of those who left; if not, then it has nothing to do with her anymore.
Is the Moon Demon really that magical? How did that guy surnamed Su manage to drive the Chief of the Pill Association crazy?
Never mind, the most important thing now is to give the instructions and then go into seclusion to improve my cultivation. As long as the information he provided is effective, that's fine.
She packed up the array plate and strode away.
She will become the lord of White City.
Meanwhile, Su Yu concealed her appearance and returned to the small courtyard.
Upon entering, one is greeted by a table laden with food and a smiling Feng Huaijin.
"My brother is back, and lunch is all ready."
Su Yu's expression softened: "Thank you for your hard work."
He took out the specialties he had bought earlier from his storage ring and arranged them on the dining table, which served as a perfect garnish for the meal.
Feng Huaijin quickly finished his meal and then unconsciously stared intently at Su Yu, propping his face up with his hand.
We don't know how long we'll be apart after this, so let's take a few more glances while we can.
Su Yu cleared her throat slightly, looking a little awkward: "Have you seen enough?"
Feng Huaijin smiled and said, "No."
He lowered his head to pick up some food.
Considering they were about to part ways, Su Yu decided not to hold it against him, even though the kid seemed to be becoming increasingly reckless.
Can any experienced kindergarten staff tell him what to do? He's never learned how to do this!
Feng Huaijin's smile deepened, and he softened his voice, saying, "I really can't bear to part with you, brother. How about you give me another gift, so I can take this opportunity..."
"To soothe the longing in my heart."
He spoke the last word with lingering tenderness, deliberately carrying a subtle seduction.
Be normal, I'm scared.
Forget it, we're not going to see each other anyway, so I'll skip the beating.
Without a word, he tore off the jade pendant from his waist and threw it at Feng Huaijin's head.
Feng Huaijin didn't dodge at all. After taking the hit, he tightly gripped Su Yu's white jade pendant, which was engraved with the moon and a white wolf on the front and back respectively. With a look of delight, he offered his own black jade pendant from his waist, which was engraved with a black sun and a black wolf.
"This is a return gift."
These two jade pendants were from when we were in Yuan Mansion.
Hua Xian and his friends discovered that there was a craftsman in Yuancheng who specialized in carving ornaments and magical artifacts. They joined in the fun, called on their friends and a group of demons, and rushed over to place an order.
Su Yu didn't care what she carved, but the craftsman saw Su Yu's inspiration and carved the moon and the white wolf with a wave of his hand.
A lone wolf howling at the moon—what a perfect match!
Feng Huaijin naturally followed suit, wanting to be similar to his brother.
The craftsman gave him a bewildered look, but still agreed.
Su Yu took the jade pendant and put it away, but said, "Alright, behave yourself when you're happy."
"Okay, brother."
Feng Huaijin agreed with satisfaction.
After the meal, Su Yu gave Feng Huaijin a large jar filled with food that he had given to Twelve, which he had obtained from the system and which did not exist in this world.
There was an especially large amount of sour sugar in it; Feng Huaijin should eat it slowly so he could eat it for several years.
After all, Su Yu was going into seclusion and it was unlikely that she would come out on time to send him food.
Feng Huaijin carefully stored all these items in his storage ring.
He mainly used two storage rings: one to store the pills and magical artifacts he used daily, as well as the rare and precious materials he collected; and the other specifically for matters related to Su Yu.
All the food was stored in this last storage ring.
By the next day, the small courtyard was completely empty.
They both left the courtyard that very night, as if by unspoken agreement.
As Su Yu headed straight for the main ridge of Zhongbai Mountain, two great demons were hiding in a dark alley not far from the small courtyard.
The black-clad demon groaned in frustration, "He's already far away, can we set off now?"
Feng Huaijin: "..."
Black-Clad Demon: Completely unresponsive, you bastard! You're staring way too intently! What's so interesting about a grown man demon? This brother-obsessed guy can't possibly be a reincarnation of the Demon Lord, can he?!
Just as Su Yu's figure disappeared completely, the black-clad demon was about to urge him again when Feng Huaijin suddenly turned around without warning and stared coldly at him: "Lead the way."
The black-clad demon: "...Alright, come with me."
Once this kid is handed over to His Highness the Demon King, he will never accept any more missions related to him!
