Chapter 52 Yu Xiaoluo's Keeping of a Demon Pet Exposed
"He also thought it was just an ordinary cage—alas, just like that, we were all captured—that cage was too powerful, it suppressed all our abilities, we couldn't unleash them at all, and we could only be slaughtered—"
“After they caught us, they kept interrogating us, asking why we were there and whether we were acting on someone’s orders. We just wouldn’t talk, so they beat us and even pricked us with needles. But we really didn’t betray our master.”
"We have not disgraced our master. We may lose our heads, but we cannot betray our master!"
Xuanwu nodded, "That cage was really unfriendly to us demon beasts. Fortunately, the cage has now been destroyed by its owner."
"Have you made any discoveries?"
Little Frog said dejectedly, "No, she didn't do anything strange during the day, but the night before last, she was very careful—very alert—when she went out, I followed her and she caught me again—"
"That woman is awful. I'll definitely teach her a lesson another day."
"Yes!" Little Pearl nodded vigorously. "I will definitely help you. I will tickle her until she is itchy to death."
Everyone:……
"Oh, right, something's strange." Xuanwu suddenly seemed to remember something. "Once, I overheard Shangguan Peiyu on the phone. Her expression was a bit odd, the kind of really happy kind, I can't quite put my finger on it. And her tone of voice was strange too, it became high-pitched and low, like a 'beep beep beep' sound—she said, 'Baby, I miss you too, sweetie, I'll come see you after this busy period—I bought some pretty lingerie—'"
Everyone:……
Seeing that no one spoke, Xuanwu seriously raised a question, "I want to know, is there any necessary connection between missing you and underwear, and what kind of logical relationship exists between them?"
Everyone fell silent again.
Little Pearl tilted her head, thought for a while, and said, "I understand. Wearing underwear means I miss you, and not wearing underwear means I don't miss you. Hmm, that should be it. Human emotions are so complicated—"
After listening for a while, Yu Xiaoluo finally understood. It turned out that after staking out the location for several days, they hadn't discovered anything else, but they had discovered that Shangguan Peiyu was having an affair.
She looked at them with mixed feelings, then grabbed all four of them and threw them into the space.
Miss Shen looked at her with a puzzled expression, not understanding why this young girl had suddenly thrown someone away when they were just having a good chat.
Yu Xiaoluo also looked at her, stared for two seconds, and stuffed her into the space as well.
The world is finally quiet, with only drivers silently driving and not daring to utter a sound.
——————
The news that Yu Xiaoluo was raising a demon pet was spread online by Shangguan Peiyu that very night, causing an uproar online.
"Is this true or false? Is this slander against the young girl? I think it's just that someone is jealous of her beauty, cuteness, ability, and gentle temperament, so they're spreading rumors about her."
"Impossible. Shangguan Peiyu has already admitted to it. She's a renowned person, the head of one of the three great families of metaphysics. How could someone with such prestige speak carelessly?"
"Yes, spreading rumors comes with consequences. I don't think Shangguan Peiyu would do something so absurd, otherwise, she would lose all face."
"So it's true then."
"I never expected that such a cute girl like Yu Xiaoluo would keep a demon pet."
"Those are poisonous toads and snakes; a single bite can be fatal. Moreover, they've become demons. This is terrifying! If these things roam everywhere, the world will descend into chaos."
“I think I remember something. Last time when she defeated the Nine Netherworld Lord in Ghost Valley, it was thanks to that snake that she transformed into a dragon and defeated the Nine Netherworld Lord.”
"That seems so. In that case, that snake did do a great thing."
"Family members, is it possible that it is a dragon?"
"Yes, what if they are real dragons? They don't seem to have ever harmed anyone."
"Hey, you can't judge a book by its cover. How do you know they haven't harmed anyone? Can you guarantee that? What guarantees do you have? If something goes wrong, will you take responsibility?"
"I believed it, so what?"
"By the way, tomorrow is Yu Xiaoluo's comeback banquet. This matter was exposed the night before the banquet, so I don't think the banquet will be so peaceful tomorrow."
"Yeah, there might be a good show to watch. I wonder if Shangguan Peiyu will cause trouble. I heard that Yu Xiaoluo destroyed the demon-suppressing cage that Shangguan Peiyu's grandfather left her for those two demon pets. That was the Shangguan family's number one magic weapon, supposedly an ancient artifact. It was incredibly powerful, and no demon beast could escape its suppression."
"It's hard to say, but I have a feeling things won't be peaceful."
"These two big names in the metaphysics world, and both are great beauties, have become major rivals. I find this particularly exciting, and I always feel like there's going to be a good show to watch."
"I'm so looking forward to the comeback party tomorrow! Will it be live-streamed?"
"Hehe, I heard that the media bigwigs will be broadcasting live, so I have to be on the lookout. If the boss catches me slacking off, I'll have to stay on the lookout too. At worst, the boss will deduct my pay."
They were chatting excitedly in the comments section when suddenly the screen disappeared.
The videos, the posts—they're all gone. Everything's completely gone, clean, quiet, and utterly clean.
Where did it all go? It was just here a moment ago. Am I seeing things? Netizens were completely baffled. A quick online search revealed that all the negative news about Yu Xiaoluo had disappeared.
They could only marvel at the Yu family's impressive public relations skills; before the scandal could even gain traction, it had been completely eradicated.
However, what they didn't know was that one of Yu Xiaoluo's brothers, named Lu Huaxin, was also a member of the Eagles team, but he was a media mogul, an internet tycoon in Kangba City, and the owner of Huaxin.com.
With just one phone call from Yu Jiangbai, there won't be any trace of it online. Moreover, if even one person sees it, they will immediately inform Lu Huaxin, who will then send someone to resolve the matter cleanly, so there's no need to worry at all.
Yu Xiaoluo knew nothing about these things.
There's no need for them to know; after all, with those older brothers around, these are all trivial matters.
Moreover, she still doesn't know the true identities of those older brothers and sisters, and she has no interest in finding out.
In her mind, her brother was her brother and her sister was her sister; they were both a kind and respectable family.
Since we're all family, why bother about status?
She believed that since they were family, their social status had nothing to do with each other. Little did she know, this was precisely where the power of Yu Jiangbai's public relations skills lay.
He used to be a soldier, and after retiring from the army, he maintained a close, brotherly relationship with his comrades. They were all true brothers, helping each other, keeping their word, and being extremely loyal.
