Bai Xiaoruo nodded upon hearing this. In any case, Lei Yucheng had known her for so many years, so their friendship was definitely genuine.
"I've already found someone who can help you with this, so you don't need to worry too much."
"Really?!" Lei Yucheng was overjoyed, his voice rising several decibels. "There really is someone who can remove the evil spirit's blood essence?"
Judging from this, he didn't actually have high hopes before he came...
"Would I lie to you?" Bai Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him, raised her chin, and snorted, "It's just a mere evil soul's blood energy. I've already made arrangements for you. It will naturally come when the time comes..."
Halfway through her sentence, the image of Shen Yunhao's frustrated expression when she locked him out involuntarily flashed into her mind. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, and her voice lowered a few decibels: "Um... he... he should be willing to help... right?"
"Boss Bai?" Lei Yucheng's joy froze on the spot before it could fully unfold, and his expression became anxious again. "You...you have to tell me the truth! If you're not confident, or if that person is hard to invite, tell me, and I'll find a way no matter what the cost! Otherwise, I'll always be feeling uneasy!"
Seeing his anxious look, Bai Xiaoruo steeled her heart and said, "You can rest assured! Since I promised, I will definitely do it! I will never go back on my word!"
She paused, her eyes darting around, her voice unconsciously weakening, "At worst... at worst I can play along with him again... Anyway... it's not the first time..."
"What did you say, Boss Bai?"
"No...nothing!"
Bai Xiaoruo suddenly snapped out of her daze, quickly waved her hand to cover the slight heat rising on her cheeks, and coughed lightly, saying, "Let me tell you, getting this person to take action cost me quite a bit!"
Upon hearing this, Lei Yucheng immediately understood and thumped his chest loudly, "Don't worry, Boss Bai! As long as he can help me save people, he will be a great benefactor to our entire Moon Devouring Clan! Our whole clan will remember this kindness and will never treat him unfairly!"
"The Moon Devouring Clan?" Bai Xiaoruo seemed to have caught something, narrowing her eyes and saying, "From what you're saying... this 'friend' you're talking about is quite important to the entire Moon Devouring Clan?"
Lei Yucheng's excitement faltered slightly, his eyes flickered, and finally he let out a long sigh, revealing a hint of bitterness and acceptance.
“Now that things have come to this, I won’t hide it from you anymore, Boss. The one who was infected by the evil spirit’s blood energy was not an ordinary friend, but my own sister… Lei Yujin.”
Bai Xiaoruo's pupils contracted slightly.
Lei Yujin?
The Moon Devouring Clan's eldest princess, who possesses unparalleled talent and is highly regarded by the Wolf King Leihao, is even considered a potential successor to the next Wolf King.
It was her!
Now, Bai Xiaoruo fully understood why Lei Yucheng was so anxious, even willing to use the power of the entire Moon Devouring Clan as a reward.
This is not just his personal request, but also concerns the future of the Moon Eater Clan!
...
As dusk settled like spilled ink, it spread across the horizon, eventually enveloping the entire Demon City in a soft, dark blue hue and scattered lights.
After seeing Lei Yucheng off, Bai Xiaoruo stood alone under the corridor. The evening breeze brushed against the tip of her slightly damp tail, bringing a touch of coolness.
She hesitated for a moment, then finally turned around and walked towards Shen Yunhao's room.
The situation was more urgent than she had imagined; she needed to discuss the trip to the Moon Devouring Clan with Shen Yunhao as soon as possible…
However... the little fox's mind was in a mess at the moment.
"If I had known I would need his help so soon... I shouldn't have provoked him in the first place..."
The girl muttered softly, trying to appear calm, but her eyes betrayed her guilt and unease.
She looked down at the tail trailing behind her, her face flushing slightly...
"In a little while... it'll get dirty again..."
Lost in thought, she found herself standing outside Shen Yunhao's door.
The room was quiet, with no light shining out and no sound coming from it.
Bai Xiaoruo stood at the door for a long time before finally taking a deep breath, bending her fingers, and knocking on the door lightly.
"Idiot...cough cough! Um...Shen Yunhao, are you in there? Open the door, I...I need to talk to you about something..."
"..."
There was complete silence inside the door; there was no response.
Bai Xiaoruo frowned, then raised her hand and knocked again, this time with a little more force: "Hello? Shen Yunhao? Did you hear me? Open the door!"
There was still no movement.
"Could this guy really be angry? Or is he not in his room?"
The little fox was feeling conflicted, a mix of annoyance and inexplicable grievance. It hesitated, wondering whether to knock again or simply go back and deal with it tomorrow.
With a creak.
The door was suddenly pulled open from the inside.
However, standing behind the door was a woman.
She wore an ice-blue long dress, the hem of which shimmered with an ethereal light. Her face was expressionless, and even her eyes seemed clear yet cold.
"What is it?"
Bai Xiaoruo: "???"
Her eyes widened instantly, filled with disbelief, and she remained stunned for a full five seconds before her brain processed the information before her...
Did Shen Yunhao hide a woman in her palace room?
An indescribable sense of grievance and anger surged to his head like a volcanic eruption, and the downy fur on his tail stood on end uncontrollably.
She pointed a finger directly at Shuang'er behind the door, her voice trembling with anger, "You...who are you?! Where did you come from?! Where is that idiot?! Where did you take him?"
Faced with Bai Xiaoruo's sudden question, Shuang'er frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then associated the term "idiot" with Shen Yunhao. She then answered in her usual cool tone, "He has something to do today. Come find him again tomorrow!"
After saying that, she actually reached out to close the door, as if Bai Xiaoruo was just an insignificant interruptor.
"ha?!"
Bai Xiaoruo could hardly believe her ears. She stepped forward and used her hand to firmly block the closing door, laughing angrily, "Are you kidding me?! This is my room! You...you have to be so outrageous in front of me?!"
Shuang'er tilted her head slightly, thought for a moment, and said seriously, "Your room? Isn't your room on the other side?"
"I...I..." Bai Xiaoruo choked for a moment, then became even angrier. "This entire palace belongs to me! Including this room! Forget it! I'm not going to argue with you about this!"
She finally realized that she couldn't reason with this inexplicable woman, so she stopped arguing and instead shouted loudly into the room, "Shen Yunhao, you bastard! Come out here! What kind of skill is it to hide?"
Seeing her like this, Shuang'er still tried to explain: "He said he has something to do. Your noise here will disturb him."
"Outrageous! Get out of my way!" Bai Xiaoruo grew angrier and angrier as she listened, shoving Shuang'er aside and storming inside!
"You bastard! All I did was refuse to let you into the room, did you have to treat me like this? Bringing a woman here... huh?"
