Chapter 152 Danger is Approaching
Why didn't they say anything and agree when they had already paid the spirit stones?
Besides, how could they possibly have so many spirit stones!
The maid was incredulous and didn't know what to say for a moment, while Kim Bok-jin finally realized that she had been tricked by these two people.
Isn't this blatantly telling others that they can afford it, but she needs to buy on credit?
"Ah," Mu Jianjian exaggeratedly raised her hand to cover her mouth, "I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you, we've already paid."
She didn't feel any remorse at all; it was clearly intentional on her part to embarrass her!
Kim Bok-jin grew up surrounded by the spotlight and was loved by everyone at the Golden Crow Shrine because of her special birth. This was the first time she had felt embarrassed and angry under the gaze of so many people.
But she pretended not to care, "It's nothing. Where are you two staying at an inn? After I go to the Demon Palace and meet with my fellow disciples in the shrine, I will have someone send you the spirit stones."
Jin Fuzhen's eyes were covered by silk, so she could only use her divine sense to perceive the people around her. Her knowledge of the two people in front of her came only from her maid's description, which is why she thought they were staying at an "inn" because they had bargained over the price.
Although the Demon Lord invited people from all over the world to a banquet, only people from the seven major powers were allowed to reside in the Demon Palace. Therefore, she naturally "classified" the two of them into minor sects.
Mu Jianjian discovered that this person really had a habit of subtly putting down one person while praising another in their words.
Unfortunately, such veiled praise and sarcasm are only based on a thorough understanding of the other party, and it is clear that Kim Bok-jin is too arrogant and conceited.
“We’re not staying at the inn…” Mu Jianjian deliberately slowed down her speech, appearing quite troubled.
The maid immediately interjected, "Did you spend all your spirit stones on clothes and have no money left to rent an inn?"
"No, it's because we were also invited to stay at the Demon Palace." Mu Jianjian smiled at the maid's shocked expression. "Actually, spirit stones don't matter. The main thing is that we like Miss Ji and want to make friends with her."
She mimicked Jin Fuzhen's tone, "I am Mu Jianjian from the Xuan Shuang Sect, and this is my senior sister, Sang Wanyue. It's a pleasure to meet you."
After entering Kyoto, the two of them showed their true faces, and it was only a matter of time before their identities were exposed, so they might as well take the initiative to tell each other.
You like playing the saint and letting sea monsters bully Yueyue, right? She's a master at playing naive and innocent characters.
Upon hearing this, not only were Kim Bok-jin and her servant dumbfounded, but the onlookers were also stunned.
Mu Jianjian, the young lady of the Xuan Shuang Sect, and Sang Wanyue, the genius who has recently become famous throughout the continent!
Everyone says that Mu Jianjian, the childhood sweetheart of Saint Ye Wuluo, was resurrected and became his disciple, and that she could cultivate and would come to Yingzhou to attend a grand banquet. I never expected to run into her now!
Sang Wanyue shone brightly in the Xuan Tian Secret Realm at that time. It is said that she and Ye Wuluo Saint Son obtained the inheritance together. She did not have an outstanding background. She was indeed the second person on the continent to break through to the Core Formation stage before the age of twenty!
Jin Fuzhen remained silent for a long time before responding with a smile. She felt that all her previous words had benefited the two of them. Her movements and voice were stiff and unnatural, but everyone else's attention was no longer on her. No one cared about her.
A moment later, Mu Jianjian and her companion left the Ni Chang Pavilion with ease after selecting their jewelry. In contrast, Jin Fuzhen and her servant, who remained in the pavilion, were in a low mood and couldn't stand anything.
"Jianjian, you're acting really impulsive today," Sang Wanyue said softly.
"Really?" Mu Jianjian was taken aback.
“Yes, I’ve never seen you so hostile towards someone before. You’re willing to dig a pit and bury someone without hesitation, and you’re not afraid that they will hold a grudge against you and cause you trouble in the future… Is it because of me?” Sang Wanyue lowered her eyes.
"She's so hypocritical." Mu Jianjian looked up at the other woman's gentle eyes and realized that she was a bit shorter than the female lead. She raised her eyebrows and said, "If you cause me trouble, I'll cause you trouble back."
“No, if you want to cause trouble, come find me,” Sang Wanyue corrected.

The Demon Palace is located in the Golden Crow Shrine, west of the Demon Palace.
"Are you sure you want to use this opportunity to kill a little girl?" A man floated in the air with one leg crossed, grinning at Kim Bok-jin, who was frowning on the ground.
“Lord Qu, I am certain,” Jin Fuzhen said, her expression darker than anyone else had ever seen, “I will make her die here tonight.”
"Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?" Qu You, who had returned to the mortal realm in a different body, reminded him. "Besides, I only owe you one favor."
"Consequences? I believe that with Lord Qu's abilities, he will handle everything well." Jin Fuzhen turned and walked into the room.
Qu You chuckled softly.
Kill a delicate young lady?
That's really using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
——
The Demon Palace occupies half of the entire area within a hundred miles of Kyoto.
The glazed tile roof is luxurious and magnificent. The ancient pavilions of varying heights are surrounded by ponds and duckweed, clear and bright, and look particularly splendid from afar. There are even cultivators riding demonic beasts floating in the air. The ground is made of spirit stones, and true energy is integrated into the aura. It is more like a heavenly palace than a demonic palace.
The Xuan Shuang Sect's palace was located next to the Sheng Lian Ting Palace, in the east.
After shopping with Sang Wanyue in a good mood, Mu Jianjian followed her into the Demon Palace to meet up with five or six fellow disciples from the Xuan Shuang Sect, including Song Yin, the disciple of the Third Elder who had previously practiced with her.
After giving a few instructions to the others, she took the map of the various factions' residences in the Demon Palace that Sang Wanyue had drawn up for her in the main room of the same palace and began to memorize it.
While chatting and slacking off with the system, she sorted out information about the people from various factions, trying to find some clues, until a hand landed on her shoulder.
"Your scent is really familiar."
The moment the man's voice fell, Mu Jianjian, after a moment of distraction, looked around and realized that her body was no longer in the room—
No, she is no longer in the Demon Palace, but in the wild forest on the outskirts of Kyoto.
The moonlight was obscured by layers of trees, and the meager light slanted to the ground. A gentle breeze rustled through the trees. Mu Jianjian stared at the man in the shadows in front of her, the sound she had just heard echoing in her mind.
It was a completely unfamiliar male voice, but Mu Jianjian was absolutely certain she had seen him before—
In the Mysterious Heaven Realm, there was the man from the Golden Crow Shrine who had chased her for a long time in the Golden Palace.
Moreover, it was because of the other party's secret technique that I was moved from the spot.
Mu Jianjian's vigilance instantly rose to its highest level.
Wasn't he already dead? Why is he here?
