Chapter 364
How to say it?
After realizing Lin Qingyang's identity, he anticipated that there might be...
Cheng Hui looked at the man kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, but he was not very angry.
How to say it?
After realizing Lin Qingyang's identity, he had anticipated that this might happen.
The Demon Lord... He is the big boss of the demon world. Just hearing the name makes one feel that he is an extremely powerful existence, just like the emperor in ancient times.
Even if the emperor doesn't want to, there will always be people who will take the initiative to put people into his harem.
This is probably the bad nature of some people. They lack the ability to do so, relying on influence from others to get ahead.
Of course, even though it was expected, there was still some unhappiness.
Even though he knew that Lin Qingyang wouldn't even look at these people, he couldn't help feeling unhappy when he thought about so many people coveting his position and wanting to squeeze him out.
So Cheng Hui's current mood is a bit unhappy. He wants to sulk, but it has not reached the point of being furious.
If Lin Qingyang were to be told about this, these people would definitely be dead.
Cheng Hui naturally understood Lin Qingyang's personality.
If you offend him personally, he may not kill you, but if you offend yourself, he will definitely be angry.
Cheng Hui took a look at these people who were called waiters but actually had to warm Lin Qingyang's bed, and felt very complicated.
Most of them are somewhat similar to me, and the one with the most resemblance is 60% similar to me. If I go out and say they are brothers, people will believe it.
I don’t know where those people found these people in such a short time.
These people seemed very nervous and uneasy after seeing him. They probably knew that their mission was to compete with him for favor. Now that they had met the real lord, they had already imagined a series of palace fighting dramas in their minds.
As for the remaining two... they had nothing in common with him, but they were very handsome, their eyes were full of ambition, and the way they looked at him was even a bit unfriendly and provocative.
Cheng Hui almost thought he had seen it wrong.
How dare someone challenge me?
He was not exaggerating, but as for Lin Qingyang's attitude towards him, let's not talk about those outside the Demon Palace, after all, they can't see it, but those people in the Demon Palace, as long as they have the opportunity to see them getting along, as long as they are not blind, can see how good Lin Qingyang is to him.
It is truly an all-round, no-dead-angle care. I am afraid of dropping it when I hold it in my hand, and afraid of melting it when I put it in my mouth.
Cheng Hui even heard a maid say privately that if there was a man who could treat her like Lin Qingyang treated Cheng Hui, she would be willing to die.
Lin Qingyang has made his attitude so clear, would anyone still think that there is a possibility of interference?
Cheng Hui suddenly became interested. There was nothing to do in the Demon Palace anyway, so it would be nice to watch some fun.
He pretended not to know these people and asked, "Who are these people?"
The middle-aged man, Hei Jiao, Fei Yu's subordinate, was stunned and even a little confused.
No way! Madam, are you so confused? Look at these people's faces, don't you think they look familiar?
He noticed that Cheng Hui's eyes were always on two certain people, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
It's broken! We're in trouble.
As Fei Yu's subordinate, Hei Jiao's status is not ordinary. The fact that he is asked to do something for someone is enough to prove that these people have certain strength behind them.
Those who looked somewhat similar to Cheng Hui were not mentioned. They were purely tools. Sending them here was nothing more than a gamble. What if the Lord chose Cheng Hui because he looked like the previous one? Then these tools would soon be put to good use.
Besides these tools, there were two others sent by two large families, the kind that even Black Horn couldn't refuse.
These two are both young masters in the family, who grew up in pampered conditions. I don’t know if they are crazy or what, but they saw the Demon Lord’s lineup sometime, but they fell in love at first sight and insisted on becoming his wife.
Originally, the Demon Lord was accustomed to being alone, and there was no one else in the Demon Palace. Although their families were large, they did not have the ability to reach into the Demon Lord's harem. After the two of them struggled for a while, they finally stopped.
But who could have imagined that after this Demon Lord had been in seclusion for over a hundred years, the first thing he did after coming out was to go to the Corpse Puppet Sect and marry a Taoist partner.
When this news spread, countless people were shocked. When Cheng Hui was brought back by the Demon Lord, everyone was even more surprised. In fact... Cheng Hui seemed to be nothing special on the surface, and no one knew why he had won the favor of the Demon Lord.
The reason why the fact that Cheng Hui resembles the Demon Lord's predecessor has spread so widely is mainly because everyone speculates so. Although everyone in the Demon Palace knows that it is not the case at all, but... people outside don't know.
The rumors they heard did not speak highly of Cheng Hui. The two young masters were jealous to begin with, so they naturally believed those words.
They felt that the family behind them was powerful. Although it could not be compared with the Corpse Puppet Sect, Cheng Hui was not the young master of the Corpse Puppet Sect. They were very much loved in the family, and both sides were about the same.
Besides, the Demon Lord might be affectionate with Cheng Hui at first, but he will get tired of her sooner or later, and that will be their chance.
The two people, who were overly confident about their looks, pestered their families to use their connections to send them to the Demon Palace.
The families behind them were accustomed to this form of marriage, so they didn't think it was inappropriate.
In their opinion, being a man is just like that. Even if the Demon Lord doesn't like them, for their sake, at most he will send his children back. It's not a big problem.
Heijiao was overwhelmed when he saw the two young masters whose faces were full of provocation and pride.
The families behind these two are indeed not easy to deal with, but is the Demon Lord’s Taoist partner easy to deal with?
After all, he is the descendant of a big family who has been carefully nurtured. How could he not even have this little bit of vision?
Even if you want to bring him down, you have to wait until the Demon Lord banishes him to the cold palace, right?
Now, the dual cultivation ceremony is about to begin, and she is in great favor. To provoke her at this time, isn't that stupid?
Black Horn regretted it.
He shouldn't have brought these two idiots into the Demon Palace just for that little thing.
It was also his negligence that the nearly one hundred years of seclusion not only made outsiders not understand this Demon Lord, but also because of his delegation of power, it caused many people to become cunning.
These families have contributed to the Demon Lord, but he didn't pay much attention to them after he took office. After the Demon Lord went into seclusion, they got used to the fact that no one was controlling them and they held all the power. In the outside world, they were not alone, but they dominated a certain area. After a long time, they probably forgot the methods of the Demon Lord.
Beads of sweat formed on Hei Jiao's forehead. He stared at those people with a stern gaze, "What are you still doing here? Haven't I made it clear enough? Your work ability is inadequate. You are not qualified to stay in the Demon Palace. Get out!"
Everyone looked at each other, and the tools left obediently.
For them, staying in the Demon Palace was a blessing, not a curse. Being favored by the Demon Lord was certainly good, but if he truly was, the consequences were unpredictable. Therefore, leaving might not be a bad option.
But the two young masters refused to do so.
They spent a huge sum of money to get in, and they did a lot of work these days, even if it was just for show. Now they want to leave without even seeing the Demon Lord?
They absolutely cannot accept this!
"Good of you!" A young master was fed up and pointed at Hei Jiao and cursed, "I just think you're not a good person! You clearly took our money, but you made us work and sent us so far away that we couldn't even see the Demon Lord. Tell me! Have you been bribed by this bitch and deliberately not arranged a good place for us?"
Heijiao's forehead was throbbing and the veins on his neck were popping out.
If I were to describe his mood at this moment, I would say two words: regret!
If I have to add a few more words, it would be that I regret it very much!
"Shut up!" Hei Jiao yelled angrily, "Someone, drag these two people away!"
"You dare!" The young master raised his pretty eyebrows, not afraid at all. He looked around, folded his arms and sneered: "Let's see who dares! My great-grandfather is the Ghost Eye True Lord, and I am his favorite grandson. Offending me? I think you don't want to live anymore!"
Not to mention, as soon as he said this, the guards around him froze in place.
This Ghost Eye True Lord was a Nascent Soul cultivator, rumored to have reached the pinnacle of his cultivation and could break through to the Divine Transformation stage at any moment. He was known to have a violent temper and a vindictive nature, killing nearly everyone who had offended him.
The only person who had offended him and had not been killed by him was the current Demon Lord. It was said that the two had fought each other before, but no one knew the subsequent results. Anyway, when they came out of the battle, the Ghost Eye True Lord joined the Demon Lord's army.
This young master is indeed the favorite great-great-grandson of Master Guiyan.
The main reason is that it is difficult to have offspring after one's cultivation level reaches a high level. At least among the few grandsons of Ghost Eye True Lord, this grandson has the best talent, can speak, and can please him.
The guards didn't dare to take action, which made Heijiao very angry.
These guards had not been in the Demon Palace for long and had never witnessed the power of the Demon Lord.
Besides, they didn’t think that the Demon Lord would turn against the Ghost Eye Master just for a little thing like himself. If that happened, wouldn’t their deaths be in vain?
"snort!"
This sentence frightened the guards so much that they dared not move. The young master was extremely proud. He put his hands on his hips, looked at Cheng Hui with his nose in the air, and sneered: "You are just an ordinary disciple of the Corpse Puppet Sect, and you dare to covet the Demon Lord? I tell you, you are just lucky to have a face that looks like the one the Demon Lord likes. If you are smart, you should take advantage of the fact that the Demon Lord still has some interest in you and make some good use of it. Otherwise... when the Demon Lord despises you, you will definitely die without a burial place!"
Cheng Hui: ...Oh no! Could this be the legendary... palace fighting?
Cheng Hui secretly clicked his tongue. He never expected that a grown man like me would one day be involved in such a palace drama - and be the one being fought over.
Lin Qingyang is indeed a beauty who brings disaster.
By the way, should I act scared at this time?
Cheng Hui still had time to think about it, but he didn't know that the young master over there didn't see him kneeling down and begging for mercy immediately, and he immediately became unhappy!
"Hmph! I think you still have unrealistic hopes! Come, drag him out and let him sober up!" The young master was used to giving orders, so he directly ordered the guards on both sides to drag Cheng Hui out.
The guards looked at each other, but no one dared to take action.
They can't afford to offend this young master, but can they afford to offend the Demon Lord's future Taoist partner?
So, this group of people looked at each other with their eyes and their noses, and decided not to help either side!
