Perhaps to avoid another argument, Wolf King took over the conversation.
"Clan Chief Tang's words may be rough, but they make sense. The human race is currently in a state of disarray, and the conflict between Guanghan Palace and Taixuan Dao Sect is already out in the open. If we go to them now to discuss a joint military campaign against the Demon Sect... let alone whether they are willing, even if they are, who knows how much trouble will arise during the cooperation."
The Bear King on the opposite side crossed his arms and asked in a deep voice, "So... Chief Lei means that we have no choice but to swallow this insult for now?"
Upon hearing this, a fierce glint flashed in the Wolf King's eyes, revealing for a moment the sharpness of a top predator, but his voice remained calm: "Tolerance? Of course not! What I mean is, we cannot launch a large-scale effective attack on the Blood Sect in the short term, but since they dare to send those scum to cause trouble in my Li Continent and provoke the dignity of my clan, we should naturally retaliate!"
The most troublesome thing about the Demonic Sect is their skill in disguise; they plot from the shadows, making them impossible to guard against. Why don't we follow their example? Forget a direct assault, send people to infiltrate the Illusionary Continent, and use their own methods against them, letting them taste the bitterness of causing trouble in their own backyard!
At this point, the Wolf King's lips curled into a cold smile: "After all, to some extent, our demon race can be said to be a nation of soldiers, while the human race... always has the weakness of a mortal dynasty. When it comes to causing destruction, why should we be afraid of these petty thieves?"
"..."
The hall fell silent instantly.
...
Three days later, time quickly passed.
The door, which had been tightly closed for three days, was finally creaked open from the inside, startling the fat fox maid outside.
It was Zhuli who opened the door.
She glanced at the somewhat disheveled fox demon maid, then walked out calmly and without batting an eye, even stretching out a large, languid yawn.
Compared to three days ago, she exuded an indescribable radiance, her skin was moist and glowing, her eyes held a captivating charm, and she looked absolutely radiant...
"You...you're not dead?" The fat fox couldn't help but say sarcastically when he saw her like this. "It's been three days, and there hasn't been a sound. I thought you were sleeping dead in there, and I was just thinking about whether I should go in and collect your bodies..."
But today, Zhu Li was unusually not angry. Instead, she raised her hand and patted her chest, pretending to sigh, "Don't mention it. I don't know what happened to me the other day. I suddenly felt extremely tired and weak all over. I slept for three whole days!"
"..."
The fox demon maid's face froze, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
Did you sleep for three days because you were tired? Or... were you tired because you "slept for three days"?
But she could only complain to herself and didn't dare to say it out loud.
"I'm not going to talk about it anymore!" Zhu Li seemed unwilling to dwell on this topic any longer, and waved her hand. "I've been stuck in the Demon Emperor's Palace for so long, it's time for me to go back to the North Sea."
As she spoke, she remembered something and looked at the maid, "Oh, right, tell your young lady to take good care of my brother. If he loses even a single hair... who knows, I might come and take him away one day!"
The maid rolled her eyes in annoyance and muttered under her breath, "If we really let you take her to live in Beihai for a while, my young lady might not even be able to use her anymore when she comes back..."
"..."
Only then did Little White Dragon realize that two blushes had appeared on her face. She coughed awkwardly twice and said, "Well... I'll go first. You... you should let him get some rest. He... well... he should be a little more tired than me."
After saying that, her face became even more flushed. Unable to stay any longer, she turned into a streak of light and left as if fleeing.
"Tch! Miss was right, he's just an insatiable lecherous dragon!"
The maid made a face in the direction she disappeared before turning and going back into the house.
A faint, lingering fragrance still lingered in the room, but unlike the chaotic scene I had imagined, the entire room was surprisingly clean, as if... these three days had truly been just a normal sleep, and nothing unusual had happened.
It must have been that shy little white dragon who carefully tidied up the room before leaving.
"Young Master Shen...?"
The maid cautiously made her way inside, only to find Shen Yunhao lying motionless on the bed, covered with a thin blanket.
I thought he was fast asleep, but when I got closer, I was shocked—
Shen Yunhao stared wide-eyed at the ceiling, his gaze vacant, as if his soul had left his body.
"Oh my god! You're not asleep?!"
Shen Yunhao stiffly turned his eyes, glanced at her, then slowly turned them back, continuing to stare blankly at the ceiling, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams, without saying a word.
Although he seemed mentally unstable, as if he had suffered some kind of great torment, his complexion appeared perfectly normal.
It seems that the existence of the Vast Ocean Heart is more than enough to make up for the huge... physiological differences between humans and dragons.
"It's good that you're alright," the maid breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "Miss is in the palace right now, I'll go and call her over for you..."
"Wait...wait a minute!"
The moment the maid turned around, Shen Yunhao seemed to be triggered by some kind of stress response, and immediately squeezed out a hoarse sound from his throat.
"Hmm?" The maid turned back in confusion. "Does Young Master Shen have any further instructions?"
Shen Yunhao looked at her, and in those originally bright eyes, there was now a hint of...pleading?
"Let...let me catch my breath...I really...can't handle this...if another one comes...it'll kill someone..."
The plump maid stared at him, stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed, "Oh no! He's really having a mental breakdown! We need to go and call Miss over right away!"
After saying that, he seemed to be in a gleeful mood, and with an uncontrollable smile, he hurriedly ran out, his footsteps filled with joy.
Seeing her leave, Shen Yunhao closed his eyes in despair and let out a long and sorrowful sigh.
"What a terrible thing..."
...
However, Bai Xiaoruo arrived much later than Shen Yunhao had expected.
It wasn't until the afternoon, when Shen Yunhao had recovered considerably, that the door to his bedchamber was opened again.
The little fox walked in still wearing that "semi-modern" outfit, but this time without the coat to cover her, the girl's exquisite and proud curves were on full display, and her two straight, long, snow-white and delicate legs were dazzling under the light.
Lying on the bed, Shen Yunhao stared wide-eyed and subconsciously swallowed.
