Meng Wan raised his hand and the Demon King's Order flew back into his palm.
"Take me to see your city lord."
The guard commander collapsed to the ground like mud, his eyes full of despair.
If the city lord knew that he had offended the distinguished guest who brought the Demon King's order, he would definitely cut him into pieces...
Xuansha and others who were hiding in the dark were even more speechless upon seeing this.
"She actually used such an important thing as the Demon King's Token in a place like this."
Chi Ying said in a low voice, his tone full of helplessness, "It's really a waste of using a butcher knife to kill a chicken."
"Maybe she's just too lazy to bother with these minor characters."
The four followed Meng Wan all the way into the City Lord's Mansion.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Meng Wan was treated as a guest of honor and sat in the main seat.
The city lord was a graceful enchantress, who was now sitting at the head of the table with a broad smile on her face, her tone warm and attentive.
"Your presence truly brings honor to my humble abode. I will have that blind guard commander brought up to you for your disposal."
As soon as she finished speaking, several guards came in, escorting the guard leader.
The guard leader's eyes were filled with fear. He fell to his knees with a plop, begging for mercy.
"Lord City Lord, I didn't mean to offend you. Please forgive me! I won't dare to do it again next time..."
The city lord waved his hand impatiently, and the guard commander could no longer utter a word.
"My lord, this man has offended you and deserves death!"
The city lord gave the guard commander a cold look, then waved his hand, "Drag him away and execute him by beheading! Execute immediately!"
Meng Wan remained silent and watched the guard leader being dragged away like a dead dog.
The city lord turned to look at Meng Wan, his face full of smiles again, "Your Excellency, I have ordered people to prepare singing, dancing, wine and food, please do me the honor of attending."
She clapped her hands, and a group of handsome male demons came in and began to dance.
After the dance, a handsome male demon with a superior figure and beautiful face walked slowly to Meng Wan with a jade pot in his hand and respectfully poured wine for her.
"Sir, please."
The male demon's voice was gentle, and his eyes were full of shyness and flattery.
Meng Wan glanced at him indifferently and did not reach out to take the wine glass.
Seeing this, the male demon's face flashed with embarrassment, and he was at a loss as to what to do.
The city lord's face suddenly darkened.
She looked at the male demon coldly, with obvious anger in her tone, "Useless thing, you can't even toast a glass of wine, what's the point of keeping you?"
Before she finished her words, she suddenly raised her hand and slashed towards the male demon with a stream of demonic power.
The male demon had no time to react before he was hit in the chest. A large amount of blood spurted out of his mouth and he fell in a pool of blood.
"City Lord, calm down!"
Seeing this, the other male demons knelt down and begged for mercy.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn and murderous.
The city lord remained unmoved and said coldly, "Since he can't please the noble, then there's no point in him living. Come, drag him away and beat him to death!"
"Wait a minute."
Meng Wan had seen enough of the drama, and finally spoke slowly, "It's just a small matter, why make such a fuss?"
Upon hearing this, the city lord quickly apologized with a smile, "Your Excellency is right."
After saying that, he looked at the male demon on the ground and said sternly, "Why don't you roll over here and thank the noble for his grace?"
The male demon endured the severe pain in his chest, struggled to get up from the ground, staggered to Meng Wan, and kowtowed deeply.
"Thank you so much for saving my life, I will never forget it!"
Meng Wan glanced at him indifferently without responding. She turned to look at the city lord with a calm tone.
"Where are the little demons I brought with me now?"
The city lord quickly apologized with a smile, "Don't worry, my lord. I have already placed them in the east courtyard and have specially arranged for someone to take care of them. I will never let them suffer any injustice."
Meng Wan nodded, stood up and walked straight towards the courtyard.
Upon seeing this, the city lord quickly winked at the male demon kneeling on the ground.
The male demon gritted his teeth, forced himself to stand up, and hurriedly chased after Meng Wan.
His steps were a little unsteady, but he still tried to maintain a respectful attitude.
"Sir, please stay!"
The male demon caught up with Meng Wan, his voice filled with a hint of eagerness and flattery.
"My Lord, you saved my life. I have no way to repay you. I am willing to follow you and serve you!"
Meng Wan stopped, glanced at him indifferently, and said with a smile.
"If you can't even toast a glass of wine, how can you serve me?"
The male demon's face turned pale and he quickly lowered his head, with a hint of panic in his voice.
"Please forgive me, sir! I am stupid, but I am willing to make amends. I only ask you to give me a chance!"
Meng Wan chuckled, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes, "Oh? Then tell me, what can you do for me?"
The male demon was speechless for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said shyly.
"I can handle chores for you, my Lord, and take care of your daily life. As long as you give me the order, I am willing to go through fire and water for you, even if it means death!"
Meng Wan's lips curled up slightly when she heard this.
"Well, since you're so persistent, then follow me. However, when you're in front of me, you have to follow my rules. If you don't, don't blame me for being rude."
Upon hearing this, the male demon's eyes flashed with joy, and he kowtowed to express his gratitude.
"Thank you, sir! I will definitely not let you down!"
Meng Wan ignored him and turned around to continue walking towards the courtyard.
The male demon quickly followed, cautiously following behind her.
Seeing this, several people hiding in the dark looked at each other in surprise.
"She actually took a male lover?"
Chi Ying whispered, his tone full of disbelief, "The little princess of the Suzaku tribe, is she playing around like this? I really can't understand her anymore."
Bai Shuang was also quite troubled. "One look at this male favorite, and I can tell that he was raised by the city lord to serve him. The city lord deliberately staged a self-torture trick to let this male monster get close to Meng Wan so that he could spy on her identity.
I didn’t expect that she would actually fall for it.”
Xuansha's face was expressionless. "Should we report this male concubine's matter?"
Bai Shuang pinched his brows and said, "Report it as usual."
When Meng Wan returned to the courtyard, several little demons who were having fun immediately came up to her, surrounded her, rubbed her clothes affectionately, their eyes full of dependence and flattery.
Meng Wan smiled faintly, reached out and touched their heads, then walked straight into the room.
The male demon followed Meng Wan silently all the way. When he saw her enter the room, he followed her in without hesitation.
Meng Wan frowned and her tone turned cold. "Who let you in? Get out."
Upon hearing this, the male demon immediately knelt on the ground, his voice full of fear and pleading.
"Sir, please let me stay! If I fail to serve you well, the city lord will definitely punish me. Please, sir, be kind to me and give me a chance to live!"
I, the little demon, voluntarily stay by your side and serve you!"
Meng Wan sighed inwardly that it was troublesome, but if she wanted to cut off the few little tails following behind her, the help of the City Lord's Mansion was indispensable.
I had no choice but to accept this male concubine with a pinch of my nose.
