Chapter 66 Deputy Boss
The spilled wine reflected the mess on the ground, and the blood in Yu Jingwu's throat filled the gaps between the bricks around him, making him look wretched. It was truly unbearable to see him in such a state.
However, Su Yunyu didn't really want to confront Feng Mingye directly, so she reached out and used her spiritual energy to retrieve Yu Jingwu's demon core, quickly recalling the relevant memories of this body from within.
He then temporarily accepted the demon pill and, with a flick of his sleeve, threw Yu Jingwu's corpse into a space that had been unused for many years.
He then slowly cast a spell, and in a short while, the aloof immortal had transformed into a burly, rugged man.
"...To be honest, I regret it a little," Su Yunyu muttered to 111, wondering if she had sacrificed too much for a broken blood seal.
He awkwardly turned around, just in time to meet Xiao Shuying's gaze.
Although a person's eyes cannot reflect a complete image, Su Yunyu seemed to be able to see her current appearance in Xiao Shuying's eyes.
How rugged, how unkempt...
no!
Su Yunyu then sized up Xiao Shuying, noticing that they were both disguised, but Long Aotian's appearance was refreshingly elegant. Feeling a pang of resentment, she coldly said:
"Change your outfit."
At first, Xiao Shuying didn't quite understand the meaning of "change your outfit," but after sensing the dissatisfaction in Su Yunyu's words, she immediately chuckled.
"Master, there's no need for that. Even if you changed your face a thousand times, I would still remain the same..."
I still like it...
The words Xiao Shuying couldn't say were swallowed back, and Su Yunyu immediately looked at him warily, wondering if there was something mocking about him.
Xiao Shuying changed her approach:
"No matter what, Master will always be the best in my heart."
His words made Su Yunyu feel much better, but as much as she felt better, she still had to change her makeup.
So, under Su Yunyu's silent urging, Xiao Shuying changed her outfit again, from her original fresh and refined look to a sloppy one that was similar to Su Yunyu's current style.
Only then did Su Yunyu finally feel completely at peace.
He tried to move around to get used to his new outfit, but accidentally stepped on the wet wine and slipped.
Just as he was about to fall to the ground, Xiao Shuying caught him.
The two suddenly found themselves face to face, and it seemed that they could see each other's current appearance reflected in each other's eyes.
For a moment, Su Yunyu felt unwell all over. Just as he was struggling to get up with his burly figure, the door clicked open.
It turned out that the two guards outside the building had finally recovered from the shock and were wondering if the deputy building master had said something. They were in a state of panic and, seeing that there was no movement inside the building for a long time, they decided to come in and take a look.
Upon entering, they saw the deputy head of the building in a close embrace with a strange man, as if they were having something unspeakable.
The two guards immediately imagined what kind of scene would unfold, and their faces involuntarily showed an expression of surprise, as if they hadn't expected their host to be this kind of person.
Seeing this, Su Yunyu knew what they were thinking without them saying a word. She immediately stood up, grabbed a wine bowl from the table, threw it heavily, and roared:
"Get out—"
Only then did he realize the advantage of the deputy host persona: he could speak his mind freely. If he were still the same as before, he would never have done something like smashing people.
The two guards, realizing the terrifying nature of the deputy lord from his lewd smiles, hurriedly left, trembling. In their panic, they even forgot about the beautiful woman who had just entered.
When I thought about it again, I felt a pang of regret. I never expected that the deputy host, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would not love beautiful women but would love muscular men.
Seeing the guard leave, Su Yunyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Turning around, she saw Xiao Shuying's eyes, which held a faint smile, and immediately felt a surge of anger. She said again:
"Change your appearance again."
This won't do; it's not ugly enough. Compared to his current one, it's like a green leaf setting off a beautiful flower.
"..."
Just as Xiao Shuying remained silent, someone else walked in. Su Yunyu was about to tell them to get out when a pair of hands quietly wrapped around her waist.
Those were delicate hands, slender and fair, and the voice that came from behind was even softer and more boneless, almost bewitching:
"Yu Jingwu, why aren't you coming to see me now?"
Su Yunyu nearly broke out in a cold sweat, instantly recalling who this person was from the memories provided by the magic pill:
Another deputy head of Yuehu Tower is Zang Yeyu.
This person is considered one of the most alluring women in the demon realm. In order to secure the position of the current leader, she colluded with Yu Jingwu to usurp the current leader's power.
Su Yunyu was caught off guard and froze on the spot. Meanwhile, Zang Yeyu seemed completely oblivious, slowly reaching upwards with both hands to explore other areas.
At this moment, Xiao Shuying spoke coldly:
"May I ask what brings you here, sir?"
"Oh," Zang Yeyu said, glancing at Xiao Shuying. Seeing an unfamiliar face, she withdrew her hand, walked over to Xiao Shuying, and looked at her with some confusion.
"Yu Jingwu, who is this person? I've never seen him before."
Su Yunyu was about to explain that he was newly acquired, but then remembered that according to her memory, this person was not patient enough to explain, so she deliberately became impatient and said:
"Who cares who he is? I need to explain to you whether I'm hiring someone."
After saying that, seeing that Zang Yeyu did not show any surprise, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this persona was quite easy to fake, and that he could just speak his mind.
Zang Yeyu temporarily accepted his explanation, forgiving Xiao Shuying's offensive remark, and then reached out to poke Su Yunyu's chest, her tone coquettish:
"What's wrong? You've found someone new lately, and you're ignoring me now?"
"..." Su Yunyu almost couldn't continue her act on the spot, cursing Feng Mingye endlessly in her heart. If it weren't for this blood mark, she wouldn't have to do this.
The situation before her put her in a difficult position. Su Yunyu wanted to brush her hand away but had to maintain her composure, so she impatiently said:
"What new love? We're not the kind of people who talk about love!"
"Is that so?" Zang Yeyu drawled, about to snuggle closer, when Xiao Shuying's brow twitched. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she used a large amount of demonic energy to create a clone of herself and placed it outside the hall, making a slight disturbance—
Thump!
Xiao Shuying deliberately pretended to be on guard:
"Oh no, someone's eavesdropping!"
Having said that, he looked at Su Yunyu. Their eyes met, and even without any hint, Su Yunyu understood his meaning and immediately accepted the situation.
"Quickly, come with me and see who dares to be so audacious!"
As he spoke, he pressed his hand on his knife and walked outside, with Xiao Shuying following closely behind. The two of them quickly left the hall.
Leaving Zang Yeyu alone in the hall, he looked at the two of them with a thoughtful gaze, then slowly curled his lips into a slightly meaningful smile.
Once outside the hall, Su Yunyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She shook her clothes to dissipate the rouge scent, which made her feel a little better.
However, things can't continue like this. We need to find a way to get close to Feng Mingye as soon as possible and then control him to remove the blood seal.
Just as I was racking my brains for a solution, Xiao Shuying beside me spoke in a low voice:
"Master, would you like a woman like that?"
At first, Su Yunyu was a little taken aback by these words. Seeing Xiao Shuying blinking, her expression unreadable, she was about to say she didn't like it, but still decided to test the waters, unwilling to give up:
"It feels...okay."
The ambiguous answer was already the best that could be expected from someone with such a cool and aloof personality.
For Xiao Shuying, hearing such a reply was like being struck by lightning; she had never felt such pain, not even when she was stabbed in the heart.
That's why Su Yunyu would like such a proactive and alluring woman.
No, he wouldn't allow it! If he couldn't have Su Yunyu's affections, then no one else could!
Moreover, he wouldn't allow Su Yunyu to dislike him.
However, given the persona she was currently cultivating in front of Su Yunyu, Xiao Shuying could only pretend to be sensible and speak in a way that didn't deliberately disobey:
"But if my future master's wife has this kind of personality, wouldn't my master neglect me?"
Damn it, this is the first time I've ever felt so heartbroken saying something against my will. When Su Yunyu first took him as her disciple, he had to act gentle and harmless, so much so that he has to restrain himself a lot now.
If Su Yunyu knew that his true personality was so indifferent and so dark, she might be disappointed...
Xiao Shuying lowered her gaze unconsciously, her fingertips digging into her palms.
How can I make Su Yunyu like me too...?
Upon hearing this answer, Su Yunyu felt as if she heard the sound of her heart shattering completely.
Therefore, Xiao Shuying really doesn't mind having multiple mistresses in the future.
Damn it, how can I make Long Aotian fall for me?!
He suppressed his heartbreak and changed the subject:
"We'll talk about it later."
Xiao Shuying, however, remained steadfast in this belief:
Will Master find a wife in the future?
Su Yunyu was already distracted and was about to give a random answer when she suddenly remembered how to trick Long Aotian into going to his death. So she deliberately said:
"I cultivate the path of ruthlessness, how could I delay others?"
He'll just say he was held back by Long Aotian, that he's fallen for him, and that he'll make Long Aotian die first. He doesn't believe Long Aotian won't feel guilty and agree.
"..."
Hearing this answer, the fire burning in her heart subsided a little. Xiao Shuying pondered the three words "ruthless way" and for the first time felt that they had some merit.
At least Su Yunyu wouldn't like anyone else.
But, does Su Yunyu also not like anyone?
Liking someone is something that can't be expressed in words. He believed that he felt special towards Su Yunyu, and that turning that special feeling into something unique wouldn't be difficult.
However, before that, Xiao Shuying thought of Zang Yeyu's flirtatious touch towards Su Yunyu, and her eyes darkened.
He glanced back into the hall and secretly ordered the Crimson Flame Phoenix to carry a rare and precious poison into the hall.
If one becomes infected with this poison, it will not take effect immediately, but rather cause a slow, erosive process.
If Zang Yeyu were to suddenly die, the Demon Realm would surely be thrown into turmoil.
But once the bloodstain is removed, this person can face death.
Xiao Shuying slowly curled her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes, only indifference.
He's always been like this; he doesn't care about right or wrong, good or evil, he just goes with the flow.
