Chapter 274 The Movements of Several Other Demon Lords
Gao Huohuo leaned against the pillar with his arms folded, watching him finish the play with a half-smile, then he spoke slowly:
"Don't bother. Senior Brother Zhong and I can just stay in the same room."
"Cough!" Zhong Hanshang turned his face away abruptly, but the tips of his ears turned slightly red uncontrollably.
"No!" Shadow Demon Lord interrupted firmly, his silver hair sliding down his shoulders with his excited movements.
"How can a single man and a single woman live together in the same room? Although we demons are not bound by etiquette, we also—"
"But what?" Gao Huohuo suddenly took a step closer, and a sharp look flashed in her eyes.
"Master Demon, have you forgotten the agreement you made with me to cultivate?"
"Place it next door! Right next door!"
The Shadow Demon Lord suddenly raised his voice to interrupt her, and several servants were so scared that they almost fell to the ground.
He added through gritted teeth, "Two rooms with a wall in the middle will be fine, right?"
You little brat, you still want to control her?
Gao Huohuo had a sneer on her lips. As long as she brought up the past, this Shadow Demon Lord who dominated the demon world would have no choice but to flee in panic.
As for living in the same room with Zhong Hanshang, she had no such idea. After all, she still needed to use the formation to refine the magic beads.
Zhong Hanshang leaned against the door with his sword in his arms, looking at someone with an angry look on his face, a smile flashing in his eyes.
The next morning, when the two arrived at the main hall, they saw Shadow Demon Lord sitting on the throne with a gloomy face, and even his favorite blood jade teacup was placed aside.
His silver hair was untied and scattered messily on his black brocade robe, and it was obvious that he had not slept all night.
"What? Are the other Demon Lords coming to attack you again?"
Gao Huohuo casually picked up a spiritual fruit from the fruit bowl and took a bite, not caring about the juice splashing on his fingertips.
Shadow Demon Lord raised his eyes, a rare irritation surging in his silver-grey pupils:
"If it's a siege, it's fine. At least we can have a good fight."
This reaction was quite unusual. Gao Huohuo and Zhong Hanshang exchanged a glance – it seemed the situation was even more thorny than the Demon Lord's siege?
"Could it be...that your beloved little witch was kidnapped?"
She deliberately drew out her voice and smiled mischievously.
The Shadow Demon Lord suddenly looked up, his gaze passed over her and fell on Zhong Hanshang, a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"My beloved, no one can take her away unless I no longer want her."
As long as he can cause trouble for Zhong Hanshang, he never gets tired of doing so.
Unexpectedly, this time Zhong Hanshang remained calm. Instead, he calmly took Gao Huohuo's hand stained with juice and wiped it carefully with a silk handkerchief.
At the end, he smiled faintly at Shadow Demon Lord, looking like a winner.
Gao Huohuo stood there in a daze, a little at a loss. Was Zhong Hanshang's behavior a bit over the line?
I looked up at him and saw him competing with Ying.
So this was a war between the two of them, and it affected her?
But where Gao Huohuo couldn't see, the area behind Zhong Hanshang's ears was already red.
If Zhong Hanshang hadn't told her in person that he didn't like anyone, she would have thought too much.
In the past few years, everyone has been in the demon clan together. She was completely focused at the beginning, but later she began to have doubts.
But when she thought of what Zhong Hanshang had said at the beginning, she felt that she was overthinking it.
And she was already accustomed to the tit-for-tat drama between the two.
From the moment they first met, they seemed like natural enemies.
Back then, Zhong Hanshang was so angry at Ying that he stormed off, only to later realize that this was all a plot by the Demon Lord to sow discord.
At first, she always thought that Zhong Hanshang and Su Ruoyun liked each other, until Zhong Hanshang said in person that he didn't like anyone.
Just thinking of Su Ruoyun's sadly departing back, Gao Huohuo's eyes dimmed slightly.
No one knew what happened to Su Ruoyun. After waking up that time, she left without saying goodbye and there has been no news of her since.
"Let's talk business." Shadow Demon Lord suddenly knocked on the armrest of the throne with a serious expression.
"This morning, spies reported that the other four great demon lords are gathering their forces and preparing to launch a massive attack on the human world."
Gao Huohuo paused playing with the fruit core, but his tone remained nonchalant:
"Let them fight as they please, why are you looking so sad?"
"All the demon cultivators have gone to fight against the human race, who would come to buy the magic beads?" Shadow Demon Lord was so angry that his silver hair moved without wind.
"Besides, don't forget that you still have human blood flowing in your bones!"
Worried? Of course she was.
Every day she stayed in the demon world, she was preparing for this moment.
"The Four Great Demon Lords..." Gao Huohuo slowly stood up, a sharp light flashing in his eyes, "Have they personally come out?"
When this was mentioned, Ying's eyes suddenly darkened, and his knuckles unconsciously tapped on the armrests of the throne, making a dull sound.
"The spies reported that the whereabouts of the Four Great Demon Lords..." He paused, a gloomy glint flashing across his silver-gray pupils, "There is absolutely no trace of them."
When Gao Huohuo heard this, a dangerous arc appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Since they are hiding so deeply, then—lure them out."
She flipped her fingertips, and a scarlet magic bead spun in her palm.
"Just send people to keep an eye on the main roads leading from the demon clan to the human world, and leave the rest... to me."
Shadow Demon Lord was about to nod subconsciously, but suddenly realized - wait, he, the dignified Demon Lord, was being ordered around like this by a little cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage?
"Gao Huohuo," he narrowed his eyes, his silver hair moving without a breeze, "you're getting more and more comfortable using me."
Hearing this, Gao Huohuo slowly retracted the magic bead and clapped his hands: "Don't want to? Then forget it!"
After saying that, she grabbed Zhong Hanshang's sleeve and was about to leave.
The Shadow Demon Lord suddenly panicked and blocked the door of the palace.
"Wait! I...Isn't it okay if I'm willing?"
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence, "It is my honor to serve Huo Huo."
All the demon generals in the hall lowered their heads, wishing they could bury their faces in the cracks of the ground.
When did their ruthless Demon Lord become so... incompetent?
Isn't she just a female cultivator from the human race? If you like her, just grab her!
The demon world has always been a place where the strong prey on the weak. Why would they ever need to compromise like this?
What’s even more infuriating is that this female cultivator actually dared to engage in a tug-of-war with the sword cultivator in front of the Demon Lord!
Of course, they only dared to roar these words in their hearts. After all...
The demon generals stole glances at the seemingly lazy girl. Any item she took out from the storage ring on her fingertips was enough to shake the entire demon world.
Not to mention the excessively young swordsman in the Nascent Soul stage standing next to her. Just standing there, the sword energy around him was so oppressive that it made people breathless.
"In that case, we'll leave first." Gao Huohuo waved his hand and turned to leave.
Shadow Demon Lord was so anxious that his silver hair was about to explode: "Wait! It's too dangerous for you two to go, I will accompany you!"
Zhong Hanshang sneered, "Master Demon is busy with all sorts of things, why would he bother following us around?"
Shadow Demon Lord gritted his teeth secretly.
If he hadn't considered Gao Huohuo, he would have dealt with this annoying guy long ago!
Not only did she oppose him everywhere, she also monopolized Huo Huo all day long.
Robbery doesn't work, and the policy of appeasement has little effect... It seems that it's time to change strategy.
