"Beibei, you mustn't be fooled by her appearance. Humans are all greedy; there isn't a single good one among them," the old woman said earnestly.
"·····"
The crowd discussed the matter animatedly, but none dared to approach the girl on the ground.
At this moment, a figure came into view against the wind. A woman in a colorful dress entered everyone's sight. The woman was elegant and had a charming and alluring face. Her colorful eyeshadow was slightly upturned, making her look radiant. Her red lips were slightly parted, and a beauty mark under her arrogant eyes added a touch of bewitching charm and allure.
"Mayor!"
"The town mayor has arrived."
The visitor was none other than Yingque, the mayor of Wuzhen.
The demons snapped out of their daze, cried out in surprise, and quickly made way for each other.
"Everyone, please calm down and spread out a bit," Yingque said.
Soon, Yingque approached Ji Jiuying step by step, a look of worry flashing in her eyes as she warned, "Mayor, be careful, it might be a trap!"
"It's alright."
The warbler stopped in front of Ji Jiuying, looking at her stunning beauty, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. She thought she was already very beautiful, but she never expected that this human would be even more beautiful than her.
The Peacock Clan has always revered beauty. If she had the looks of a human, she might even become the queen of the Peacock Clan. Why would she need to condescend to be the mayor of a town?
Just then, Yingque frowned. How could this human have a demonic aura? Moreover, this demonic aura made her feel somewhat afraid and want to submit.
In the demon realm, only powerful demons can suppress one's aura. How could this human have such an aura? Yingque scrutinized Ji Jiuying again.
"Mayor, the demon race and the human race have not had any contact for hundreds of years. How did this human come to our demon race?"
"Hmph, this human must be trying to steal our demon cores to increase her strength. No matter how she got here, we must not let her leave alive."
"Mayor, this human woman must be a spy."
"Mayor, for the safety of the demons in the town, why don't we just kill this woman on the spot?"
"·····"
The demons were all talking at once, but Yingque remained silent. However, she had heard everything they said. Just then, someone tugged at her clothes. "Mayor Sister, I don't think this human sister is a bad person. Mayor Sister told Beibei before that we shouldn't kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Beibei tugged at Yingque's dress, looked up, and pleaded with her big, watery eyes. Yingque's heart softened. "But Beibei, if we don't deal with her now, we'll die someday. Only when she's dead can we live without worry."
"But I don't want her to die."
The old woman rushed forward in alarm, picked up Beibei, and quickly apologized to Yingque: "Mayor, Beibei is just being silly. Please just take it as her talking nonsense and don't take her words to heart."
Yingque smiled and said, "It's alright."
Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, blowing open the hem of Ji Jiuying's dress at her waist, revealing what she was holding in her hand.
As the Netherworld Mirror appeared, the aura of the Demon King emanated from it, causing the surrounding demons to look on in terror and constantly scan their surroundings.
"What's going on? Could it be that a powerful figure has appeared?!"
"This powerful aura makes me want to kneel down, what's going on?!"
"Me too······"
A look of shock flashed in Yingque's eyes as she stared intently at the Netherworld Mirror in Ji Jiuying's hand. She was certain that the powerful aura came from the mirror in the human's hand. Her heart raced, and the surrounding noise made her feel somewhat agitated and confused.
"Shut up, all of you!"
The surroundings instantly fell silent, and the demons looked at Yingque with confusion.
Yingque calmed down. She felt that the mirror looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she was. She slowly walked closer to Ji Jiuying, squatted down, and took the mirror.
The demons then turned their attention to the Netherworld Mirror, and at the same time, they suddenly realized that the powerful demonic energy was emanating from this mirror. But what exactly was the origin of this mirror, why did it possess such powerful demonic energy, and why was it in the hands of this human woman?
Finally, someone in the demon horde voiced a question: "Mayor, this mirror has such a strong demonic aura that it must belong to our demon race. If it belongs to our demon race, how could it end up in the hands of a human?"
"Yes, could it be that this human came to our demon realm through this mirror?"
Whoosh!
In a flash, the nightingale grasped the key point of the words and suddenly realized, "I remember now, this mirror is the Netherworld Mirror of our demon realm!"
"What? This is the Netherworld Mirror!"
"Isn't the Netherworld Mirror in the Demon King's hands? How come it's with a human!"
In an instant, the demons erupted in chaos again. Yingque's gaze fell on Ji Jiuying. What was this woman's background? Where did she get the Netherworld Mirror? This matter involved the Demon King, and it would probably have to be reported before she could be dealt with.
"Alright, everyone quiet down. This matter concerns the safety of the Demon Realm. We must find out how she entered our Demon Realm. I will report this to the Demon King and wait for his decision."
"Guards, take this human back to the manor and imprison her."
As soon as he finished speaking, several wolf demons stepped forward.
Suddenly, Ji Jiuying opened her eyes, startling the demons, who scurried away from her in terror. However, the demons' appearance also startled Ji Jiuying, who quickly stood up and looked around warily, wondering what was going on.
"Girl, you're finally awake! You've been sucked into the Demon Realm!" Hei Xiangling said.
Boom! Like a bolt from the blue, it exploded in her mind: This is the Demon Realm!
Yingque looked at Ji Jiuying and was deeply attracted by her eyes. She had never seen such beautiful eyes before. Her peerless face and captivating pupils were like a masterpiece of heaven, a perfect sculpture.
It is neither a celestial being nor a demon.
"Mayor, arrest her immediately!" A voice rang out from the demon horde, pulling the two back to reality.
Ji Jiuying frowned even more, and Dongfang Yao's voice echoed in her mind: "Little girl, why aren't you running? Are you waiting for them to catch you?"
Ji Jiuying came to her senses and summoned the Divine Phoenix Fan. A burst of flames erupted from her hand, startling the demons, who hurriedly dodged.
Ji Jiuying also took the opportunity to escape from the spot, while Yingque stood there stunned.
"Damn humans, they are indeed treacherous and cunning."
"Don't let that human get away, chase after him!"
Upon hearing this, the wolf demons hurriedly gave chase. Yingque closed her eyes helplessly and growled, "A bunch of idiots!"
"I was just about to ask someone something, and you scared them away!"
The demons then trembled and shut their mouths, but some of them were still unconvinced. "Mayor, that human was too cunning. She almost burned the fur off our bodies."
"If you hadn't made a sound to scare her, she wouldn't have suddenly attacked you."
Yingque suppressed her anger. Seeing that Ji Jiuying had woken up, she originally wanted to lure her to the mansion before knowing her strength, so she could interrogate her properly. Who knew that these fools would actually startle that person.
