Chapter 223 Lying on the Plank
In the vast banquet hall of the Ghost Market, the seats were empty, but two demons lay sprawled on the ground.
A demon lord and a ghost lord share the magnificent palace floor.
The drugged wine jug had been smashed on the ground and rolled away, with the remaining tea spilling along the tracks.
The two demons, who had fallen to the ground and were no longer moving, had water stains on their clothes after losing their strength and becoming unsteady. This was mainly because Su Yu's hands became unsteady as she was feeding the demons tea, and a lot of it spilled out.
Su Yu was barely satisfied with the idea of dying together with someone else.
But then a question suddenly occurred to him.
How long will the effects of this demonic medicine last?
...In this disheveled state, there was absolutely no way he would call his subordinates into the palace to help.
The medicine was probably at its strongest when he was too weak to speak, so he focused his mind and asked telepathically:
Feng Huaijin, delighted to receive such a nickname, replied:
Su Yu's eyes widened in disbelief, and she suddenly increased the volume of her voice transmission:
Feng Huaijin slowly straightened his head, lay flat, and stared at the ceiling:
Su Yu turned his head, his gaze, filled with a murderous intent, fixed on Feng Huaijin beside him, and said, word by word:
He doesn't want to lose face.
Having roamed the post-apocalyptic world for over twenty years, he had never encountered such a despicable scoundrel.
Is this some old demon from the Demon Realm who's lived for so many years? To perish together with them—that's truly ruthless, leaving no way out.
Unfortunately, his own memories only extend to his twenties in the apocalypse, and his memories in the spirit world begin with the Cui family.
Sure enough, he still lacked experience and hadn't seen enough of the world.
Su Yu reflected deeply on her actions.
Feng Huaijin felt his face flush under his partner's intense gaze. Unable to suppress his desire to get closer to his partner, he quietly used his accumulated strength to move little by little towards Su Yu.
He tried to communicate telepathically, wanting to continue talking to his partner:
Su Yu glanced at him, and considering that this demon was rather pleasing to the eye, she replied:
Feng Huaijin awaited his inquiry.
Su Yu felt a vein throb on her forehead when she heard him change his name to A Yu.
Feng Huaijin tried to struggle.
Su Yu firmly refused to send herself into the wolf's den.
Feng Huaijin blinked and smiled:
He admits he just wanted to be a little cheeky, is that so wrong?!
Su Yu turned her head away, her back to Feng Huaijin, and didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Feng Huaijin stared at him silently, finding his young companion quite adorable. After a while, he asked:
After thinking for a moment, he added:
Since they are already partners, there's no need to abolish this status.
If they were truly a couple, getting to know each other wouldn't be a bad idea; at least Su Yu was satisfied with Feng Huaijin's appearance.
…Well, aside from when this demon wanted to cause trouble and kidnap him back to the demon palace, his obedient behavior was quite pleasing to him.
...His strength is also decent.
It's not impossible that she fell for this demon before losing her memory.
Why the hell is he making excuses for this pervert?!
Su Yu closed her eyes in despair and unleashed her ultimate escape move.
Feng Huaijin, standing nearby, wanted to say that he was using telepathy, but didn't open his mouth.
But thinking about it carefully, he has already successfully gained a formal title in the first moment of their reunion after amnesia. He can take his time with the next step. If he says anything more, his partner will really get angry.
So he regretfully gave up.
Above the main hall's beams, there is also the spirit and the sage who witnessed the entire event.
The cat and the ball stared at each other in bewilderment.
How naive, its child.
Before committing mutual destruction, they even forgot to find an antidote for themselves.
From then on, it will be full of tolerance towards children who call it a stray cat and swindle it out of its crystals.
After all, it can be both his father and his mother.
Finally, Mo Yuanling carefully used his authority within Ling Yuanling's territory, causing a coincidence to occur in the main hall.
For example, the Devouring Void Sword in Sang Er's storage ring suddenly wanted to find its master, so it ran out and into the hall.
Aside from possessing a tiny bit of delirious spirituality, the Devouring Void Sword is essentially just a sword and not a living being.
Su Yu can accept this.
So it was the Devouring Void Sword that helped to extract the antidote and feed it to the demon.
Although the Devouring Void Sword had just used its Dragon Tail Sweep to throw the antidote into the demons' mouths on either side, the two demons, Sang Yu Er, who were nearly scared to death by the Devouring Void Sword's sudden escape, chased after them, followed by their Ghost Market subordinates who were keeping an eye on them.
At this moment, they were at the side entrance of the main hall. The two demons wanted to go in and see what was wrong with the sword, but they didn't dare to go in. The remaining Ghost Market people were dutifully keeping watch, but they couldn't help but be a little gossipy and were distracted by what was happening inside the hall.
There was naturally no sound inside the hall; if they really wanted to argue, Su Yu would only choose to use telepathy.
Inside the hall, only Su Yu held the Devouring Void Sword and praised it as a fine sword, while Feng Huaijin wished he could take its place.
Suddenly, the demonic sword transformed into a streak of light and was retrieved by Feng Huaijin.
Su Yu turned to look at him suspiciously.
Feng Huaijin said solemnly, "This is a demonic sword. The demonic energy in the spirit world is sparse, so it cannot stay outside for too long."
Unless the sword master provides it with demonic energy.
But that's impossible.
Su Yu didn't ask any more questions, but quickly cast a cleansing spell on himself, as he had already sensed demons and humans outside.
He urged Feng Huaijin to get himself ready before he felt relieved enough to step out of the door and leave the hall where so much had happened.
As soon as the door opened, everyone went to find their own boss.
Liao, the captain, was the first to grab the closest position to the Ghost Lord. He glared warily at the unruly leader who was trying to take advantage of their Ghost Lord, and asked in a low voice, "Your Excellency, shouldn't we drive this person out?"
He heard everything from Xiaotai; this person coveted their Ghost Lord!
Xiao Tai was also threatened by this person's glaring eyes. So jealous, and so reckless in appearing without knowing the right time. As long as the Ghost Lord gives the order, they will risk their lives to drive people out of the Ghost Market.
Su Yu paused for a moment, then did not answer immediately.
He glanced at Feng Huaijin, a slight smile playing on his lips beneath the mask, and then slowly said, "No need, he's just a pretty boy who came to recommend himself to me."
The two demons following behind the Demon Lord looked up in horror.
Demon Lord Feng Huaijin continued to look at his partner, not even blinking, and said, "Hmm."
Is this retaliation? Just what he wanted; they really are a couple.
So, when will Ayu look at him like she did just now?
Light as snowflakes, they landed on his heart and warmed him to the point of melting.
