"Demon Queen, it's great that you have come to the Demon Realm... Since you came, the Demon Realm has become more popular..."
"Yes...Since you came, Lord Demon has changed a lot. He is no longer as moody as before..."
"What's that word...? Mmm, made in heaven! I think the Demon Queen and the Demon Lord are a match made in heaven...!"
......
Several people were talking to each other, but Gu Yangyang felt a little embarrassed.
Are she and Wanqi Xiu made for each other?
I'm afraid the original author of this book didn't expect this...
Since she couldn't get a word in, Gu Yangyang just listened.
Dry yourself, put on your clothes, and come out from behind the screen.
The few people who were chatting animatedly turned around and saw her pink face, looking at them with a soft smile. Suddenly, their voices stopped, their hearts beat violently, and then they quickly melted into this smile...
"Please forgive me, Demon Queen. We will clean it up now..."
Several people lowered their heads, their faces blushing with embarrassment, and without waiting for Gu Yangyang to speak, they hurriedly ran behind the screen and started to clean up.
Gu Yangyang shook her head in amusement and sat down at the table nearby.
The people around her were more casual, which made her feel more comfortable.
While several people were packing up and walking out, Gu Yangyang looked outside through the open palace door.
The blue candles were lit, one by one, like jumping ghost lights...
Unlike the bright stars in Chongming Immortal Sect at night, the night here seems to fall into the cold fire of hell, full of ghosts and gloom...
It was pitch black outside, and few people were seen.
It seems that Wanqi Xiu probably won't come tonight...
"I have seen the Demon Queen."
The closed palace door was pushed open again.
A cold and lifeless voice sounded.
Gu Yangyang looked over.
The person who came was one of Wanqi Xiu's puppets.
He held a bunch of bright flowers in his arms. The red petals and stamens set off the puppet's pale, expressionless face, making it look even more eerie...
But Gu Yangyang was not afraid.
When she saw that someone really sent her flowers, she finally realized that what Wanqi Xiu said to her was never just talk.
Whatever he said, he would do as promised...
"Where is Wanqi Xiu? Where is he?"
Gu Yangyang stood up and asked, reaching out to take the flowers from the puppet.
As soon as she took the flower, she smelled a unique fragrance coming from the flower...
"After returning to the devil, the Lord Demon is still at the edge of the demon world." The puppet replied.
Gu Yangyang nodded.
Wanqi Xiu has been running to the edge of the Demon Realm these past few days. Could something have happened to the prisoners who were sent there...?
"But what happened over there?" she couldn't help asking.
The puppet's expression remained unchanged. He knelt before her and said, "There were some small-scale riots on the edge of the Demon Realm. Lord Demon has already dealt with them. The Demon Queen does not need to worry."
Gu Yangyang: “…”
She wasn't worried, she wanted to see if she could find a chance to leave here...
"So that's how it is. I understand."
She nodded in a fake manner to show that she understood.
Seeing that she had nothing more to ask, the puppet lowered his eyes, stood up, and prepared to leave.
Just as he reached the palace gate, he was stopped by the girl behind him.
"etc!"
The puppet heard her voice and stopped.
"By the way, doesn't this flower have no fragrance? Why are the flowers sent so fragrant......?" Gu Yangyang asked, feeling a little confused.
Could it be... that someone added something to the flowers...?
Perhaps seeing her suspicion, the puppet explained at the right time:
"Demon Queen, please rest assured. No one in the entire demon world dares to mix harmful substances into the things they send to you."
"This flower was picked by the Demon Lord himself. The Demon Lord was worried that you would not sleep well, so he soaked the flower in a sleeping potion for a quarter of an hour..."
Gu Yangyang was stunned when she heard this.
He looked down at the flower in his arms and said nothing for a long time.
Seeing this, the puppet retreated silently.
Gu Yangyang buried her face in the flowers and took a deep breath.
Indeed, ever since she started planning to steal the Soul Gathering Fairy Lamp, she had been unable to sleep well due to anxiety, especially after coming to the Demon Realm. The environment here always made her feel depressed, and she was thinking about Fei Nan, which made her sleep even worse...
She didn't expect that Wanqi Xiu, who seemed to do whatever he wanted, could actually be so meticulous...
Thinking of this, she sighed, and the feeling of helplessness and guilt in her heart deepened...
Sizzle...
[Ding! 007 reminds the host that one third of the mission has been completed. Please continue to work hard, leave here as soon as possible, go to the next location, and get the remaining treasures. ]
Gu Yangyang: ...I know.
......
She placed the flower next to the pillow on the bed. Since it had the effect of helping one sleep, it certainly couldn't be wasted.
Hearing that she was going to sleep, the servant blew out the overly bright candlelight in the hall, carried the small lamp and left the hall, leaving only one person guarding the hall door...
As the lights dimmed, the dim environment seemed even quieter.
Gu Yangyang lay on the bed, the subtle fragrance of the flower placed beside her head penetrated into her nostrils, slowly soothing the fatigue in her body...
She gradually felt sleepy. This was the fastest she had ever fallen asleep since she came into this world...
She lay flat on the bed, her hands placed obediently at her sides, her head slightly tilted to the outside, her little face looking even paler and more delicate in the dim light.
The long eyelashes cast shadows under the eyelids, and under the small nose are lovely pink lips...
With the help of the floral scent, she fell into a deep sleep.
Long breaths came out of her nose, her chest rose and fell steadily and rhythmically, she looked peaceful and beautiful...
Anyone who appears here and sees this scene will consciously slow down their steps and not have the heart to disturb her...
The maid waiting at the side of the palace gate saw this scene from afar and quickly looked away after just one glance.
She held the lamp in her hand, lowered her head, turned around and silently walked out of the hall.
The Demon Lord has ordered that after the Demon Queen rests, no one is allowed to stay in the palace without permission...
The last person left, taking away the last lamp in the hall.
After the palace door was closed, the huge palace was plunged into complete darkness.
In the darkness, only the girl's shallow breathing and the faint fragrance of the flowers slowly flowed in the hall...
