A man in a black robe and a pointed hat walked anxiously on the mirror-smooth floor.
He fell unexpectedly, got up, adjusted his hat, and walked quickly into a hall.
A young girl was lying on the throne in the center of the hall, with her legs crossed and a half-eaten magic fruit in her hand.
“Swoosh—boom!”
The man lost control and fell again, this time sliding directly in front of the girl.
His head hit the throne platform hard.
"ah--"
The man's screams pierced the roof and startled a flock of crows.
The girl lowered her eyes in disgust, "What?"
The man covered his head and stood up, picking up his pointed hat. "Young Master, the City Lord asked me to tell you to go to the square and show this new batch of villains around the city that never sleeps."
Ruan Zhaozhao was puzzled. "Why don't you just do this? Tell dad that I need to practice and I don't have time."
"The city lord knew you would say that." The man put on his hat. "He said you'll be taking over the position of city lord soon, so you should get to know everyone in the city as soon as possible, so that you won't be without help when you fight the protagonist—"
Before he could finish his words, Ruan Zhaozhao had already jumped up from the throne.
The man was very touched. Although the young master usually ignored everyone, when it came to beating the protagonist, she was always the one who ran the fastest!
"Let's go." Ruan Zhaozhao gave a look.
The man quickly followed and pulled out a list from his sleeve. "Young Master, these are the villains who have ascended from the lower realms to the City That Never Sleeps this year. Oh, and there are also some decent people who have gone to the protagonist's side."
Ruan Zhaozhao hummed, took the roster and glanced at it casually, "Xuanji Realm?"
"Well, I heard that this small world was originally not under our jurisdiction, but later something happened and the Great God Hongmeng allocated it to us. It has always been unknown, but somehow it suddenly exploded this year, and many people ascended..."
Ruan Zhaozhao slapped the list in his face and said, "Go and take a look."
The two came to the city square that never sleeps.
At this time, the square was filled with villains who had ascended from the underworld, and it looked like a huge crowd at first glance.
All the people who ascended from the Xuanji Realm stood together, and they were all old acquaintances of Ruan Zhaozhao.
She counted the number of people and found that all the people from the Jueqing Sect were here.
There were four unfamiliar faces, but upon closer inspection, they seemed somewhat familiar. She suddenly remembered that these four were the ones she had rescued from the Gong family. A young man stood beside them, his demeanor calm and composed, quite unlike the Yu Xiaoye she remembered.
There was no change in Wen Renyi, Gong Ziyu, Su Yuhan and Ning Guanyin.
Ruan Zhaozhao also saw the lamb and the mirage, one holding the other. Although they were strangers, he could tell from their expressions that they were Cui Fu and Yuan Hua.
The leader and elders of the Hehuan Sect were not seen. Perhaps they stayed in the Xuanji Realm to strengthen the two sects.
Suddenly, Ruan Zhaozhao felt someone was looking at her. Her gaze moved upwards and suddenly met Yu Xiaoye's.
He recognized her in an instant, was surprised at first, then nervous, and then he actually squatted down.
After he squatted down, Xiao Yichen appeared behind him, and he and Ruan Zhaozhao looked into each other's eyes.
"Why did the protagonist become the villain?" Ruan Zhaozhao was speechless. She didn't expect that Wen Renyi and the others would actually keep Xiao Yichen.
Since he is the protagonist, the Xuanji world must have a new prodigy.
Xiao Yichen seemed to be wondering who she was.
The attendant reminded Ruan Zhaozhao: "Young Master, it's time to begin."
Ruan Zhaozhao suddenly curled her lips, waved, turned around, and asked him to follow her in.
After a while, the man came out and rubbed his hands. "Everyone——"
Everyone in the square fell silent.
The man took off his pointed hat and cleared his throat. "I'm the Demon Palace's chief steward, Sinuo. Today, I'll be showing you around the City That Never Sleeps. Please follow me closely."
Someone shouted, "Isn't it the young master of the Never-Sleeping City who is here?"
"Yeah, I just heard about it."
Si Nuo shrugged, "The young master is very busy, he only came to take a look and then leave. If you are not satisfied with me, you can do whatever you want. After all, you will be familiar with the city after staying there for a long time."
After hearing this, some people chose to leave, and soon, most of the people in the square were gone.
At this time, someone else raised his hand: "Take us to familiarize ourselves with the City That Never Sleeps, and also take us to the Demon Palace?"
Sino shook his head. "Only when you become a big villain whose name is known throughout the city can you walk around the Demon Palace freely. Normally, you can only enter during celebrations. Is that a problem?"
This drove away some people.
Seeing that there were less than ten people left, Si Nuo jumped down from the terrace and landed in front of the remaining people. "I don't like being left behind. If anyone feels bored and doesn't want to leave, go back now."
In the end, only the group from the Jueqing Sect was left.
Seeing that they had never thought of leaving from the beginning to the end, Sino raised his eyebrows and raised his pointed hat, "Let's go."
He turned and left, not noticing that the people behind him looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
After they left, a man appeared on the terrace.
Sinuo, wearing only a pair of boxer briefs, hugged himself and shivered.
City Lord, the young master is causing trouble again!

"The City That Never Sleeps is huge, so we don't allow villains to form their own factions, lest arrogant individuals gather and engage in infighting. However, normal academic gatherings are allowed, especially those that gather to research how to kill the protagonist. They're very popular."
Ruan Zhaozhao stopped and looked at the others. Sure enough, he saw confusion on their faces. "Every world is different. There are many small worlds you haven't seen, and the paths of cultivation are completely different. It doesn't matter if you don't understand now. You'll understand after staying for a while."
"Okay." Everyone said in unison.
Ruan Zhaozhao felt something was wrong, so he turned around and saw that they were all looking at him with loving eyes. When their eyes met, they were all startled, and then turned their heads in different directions. Some hummed a little tune, some pointed in the distance and said "What a tall building!", and some talked to the people around them.
Ruan Zhaozhao was thinking when someone suddenly hugged her arm.
She looked over in surprise. It was a demon girl who shyly called out "Brother Sino." "Didn't we agree to come to my house today? I've been waiting for you for so long, why aren't you here? Who are these people?"
Ruan Zhaozhao didn't remember that Si Nuo had a lover, and why was this girl so strong and a head taller than "Si Nuo"?
She saw the girl's strong muscles exposed under her sleeves and fell silent.
You are having so much fun, Mr. Si.
"Ah-chu!" Sinuo in the Demon Palace sneezed violently.
He suddenly remembered that he had an appointment today, so he quickly packed up and set off.
Seeing Ruan Zhaozhao not saying anything, the demon man dressed as a girl reached out to touch her head, "What's wrong with you? You look so dull."
Before his fingertips touched Ruan Zhaozhao, they were grabbed by a hand.
Yu Xiaoye stared closely at the other person's hand, which was even bigger than his own. "You...you are a man, right?"
The demon male was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly flushed, and he said in a rough voice: "Hate! I haven't decided whether to be a man or a woman yet!"
As he said this, he waved his hand and slapped Yu Xiaoye in the face with his big palm, and the latter flew out in a spin.
It fell with a plop at Wenren Yi's feet.
Slightly dead.
Su Yuhan came over and checked, "It's okay."
After saying that, he stuffed two pills into his mouth.
Ruan Zhaozhao recognized that this was a cave demon with "unstable gender, who can choose his own gender when he reaches adulthood", but it seems that he has already chosen to be a female, but the time has not come yet, so he can only maintain a strong appearance.
The other party knew Sinuo and they got along well as soon as they met, not like ordinary friends.
"Why aren't you talking?" The demon male blushed when she saw her silence. "You didn't suddenly change your mind and decide not to go home with me to meet my parents, did you?"
Ruan Zhaozhao rolled his eyes.
"See you." She patted the other man's muscular biceps. "Let's go."
He turned and looked at the people from the Jueqing Sect, "This is also considered part of the tour. Everyone, follow me."
Wen Renyi and Gong Ziyu looked at each other.
Several people communicated silently.
"The little devil star has become the big devil star."
"After all, he's the steward of the Demon Palace, and he's also dealing with his own people?"
"Aren't we considered our own people?"
Ruan Zhaozhao suddenly turned around and looked at them.
Strange, she felt like someone was setting her up. But she was now Sinuo, and shouldn't be recognized.
The demon male brought Ruan Zhaozhao to a three-story building. He opened the door and went in first. After a while, he came out with a disappointed look on his face. "It's all your fault. We've been delayed for too long. My parents are out. How about this? You and your friends come to my house and wait. They'll be back soon."
As he spoke, he put his arm around Ruan Zhaozhao in a very ambiguous manner and said, "I've already bought the dress you said you liked last time. It's upstairs..."
Ruan Zhaozhao pushed his face away expressionlessly, "Really? Go up and take a look."
She wanted to see how big a deal Manager Si would go.
Yu Xiaoye woke up from his dizziness and reluctantly followed everyone into the house, only to see Ruan Zhaozhao and the demon man going upstairs alone.
He immediately tried to stand up, but was pushed back by Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen looked at his anxious expression with interest. "I remember you liked following her before. Do you still like her now?"
There was something behind his words, and Yu Xiaoye didn't react for a moment.
After understanding, her ears suddenly turned red, "We... haven't seen each other for a long time, I'm just worried about her!"
"There's no need for us to worry about the Young Master of Never-Sleeping City." Wen Renyi's expression softened. "No wonder she's not afraid of anything."
"Fortunately, we have my junior sister, otherwise we would have become the culprits who destroyed the Xuanji Realm and become stepping stones for the light of righteousness." Su Yuhan said.
Gong Ziyu raised her chin proudly: "I just saw that she still had the doll I made for her on her waist."
Ning Guanyin: "It seems that Junior Sister likes the lipstick color I gave her."
As they talked, the four of them began to compare whose things Ruan Zhaozhao liked more, and then they began to compete for who she liked the most.
Cui Fu and Yuan Hua have become accustomed to this scene, and the other four are even more so.
The mirage demon lay drowsy on the lamb's head, while the lamb felt happy as it felt the devilish energy filling the air of the city that never sleeps.
Suddenly, everyone heard screams.
They were so concerned that they rushed to the third floor without thinking.
Ruan Zhaozhao and the male demon were standing at the door, but they were not the ones who screamed.
——But the person lying on his side in bed.
Sinuo, wearing a transparent dress made of only a few pieces of cloth, posed to welcome her lover.
I didn’t expect that Ruan Zhaozhao would come with us.
He screamed and hurriedly pulled up the quilt to cover himself, but because he was too anxious, he fell under the bed with a thud.
Ruan Zhaozhao touched his chin and smiled meaningfully: "So the clothes you are talking about are for him to wear."
The demon male reacted: "You are not Sino! You, you...you are the young master?"
It seems that Si Nuo often told him how bad his young master was.
Ruan Zhaozhao simply changed back to his original appearance, took off his pointed hat and threw it aside, "I'll tell dad about you two when I get home. Don't worry, I will marry Sinuofeng to you in a grand manner."
After saying that, he patted his chest muscles and said with emotion: "It will be gone soon, what a pity."
Sino: “…”
He raised his head angrily: "Master, please don't tease my wife!"
Ruan Zhaozhao: "If she is your wife now, just call her that."
Sino: "It will be in two days!"
The two were about to start a new round of quarrel when Ruan Zhaozhao suddenly noticed a group of people crowded outside the door.
They all looked at themselves.
She was a little embarrassed, but thinking that this was her territory, she straightened her back and greeted him, "Long time no see."
Everyone smiled.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Ruan Zhaozhao took them to visit the rest of the area.
Finally, they arrived at the Demon Palace and arranged accommodation for them in the city that never sleeps.
"...According to the plot, after I take over, the protagonists in the lower realms will begin to attack me. Just like you in the past, I will be responsible for motivating the protagonists to grow."
Ruan Zhaozhao walked ahead and suddenly stopped at this point. "By then, all the villains in the City That Never Sleeps will be my helpers. No one can refuse this game of good and evil. Besides, in my story, I need to defeat the protagonist and resurrect my mother. It's not too late for you to leave now and go to other worlds."
"The last sentence is the key point?" Gong Ziyu said with a smile, "We have finally come here, we will not leave, Junior Sister."
"We will help you in the same way you helped us back then." Wenren Yidao.
Su Yuhan: "Who said villains must die? Haven't we survived until now and even come to the upper realm? Do you know what the Canghai Sect is like now?"
Ning Guanyin: "Little Junior Sister, you would never have thought that the Canghai Sect would surrender to the Hehuan Sect. Even if the world wants to separate the good and evil factions, so what? We can always find a way out."
Yu Xiaoye: "I won't leave."
The others said nothing, but proved their determination by refusing to leave.
After a long pause, Ruan Zhaozhao turned around and spread out his hands. "Well, this is what you chose. I've run out of things in my backpack a long time ago. Brother Xiaoye, I want to eat hot pot."
Yu Xiaoye was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly, "Okay, Zhao Zhao, I'll make it for you right away."
On the tower, Ruan Batian, the Lord of the City That Never Sleeps, watched the group of people leaving in the corridor, his eyes fixed on the young man named Yu Xiaoye. "It's no use pestering me."
The old butler Si Long put his hands in his pockets and smiled, "The young master trusts him very much."
Ruan Batian snorted coldly, "Hmph, what's the point? He's just an ordinary character, not worthy of my daughter. That one is okay, he used to be the protagonist. I'm afraid that his halo will be revived. Then my daughter will become Juliet."
Silong: "City Lord, let the young people decide their own affairs."
Ruan Batian glared at him, "You mean I'm not young anymore? If Yueyaer were here, she would definitely say that I'll always be young in her heart!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Si Long agreed, "When the young master brings the lady back, we will know whether you will remain young forever."
Ruan Batian: "...I just saw your son fall in love with a cave demon who hasn't chosen her gender yet."
Si Long's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes showed a hint of his intention to go back and kill Si Nuo. "Really? Young people should make their own decisions."
"After all, he's an only child, so you should be gentle with him."
"It will be easier, it will be."
The setting sun spreads over the city that never sleeps, and night falls gently.
Ruan Zhaozhao stopped and his eyes fell precisely on the two old men in the tower.
Humph, she is indeed the most powerful villain.
Always!
