Ji Fengyao paused in washing her hands, then turned around intently: "What exactly did you do to him?"
"I just... it's because he keeps pulling my tail hairs, no beast can stand that, so I..."
Seeing the ghost face stammering, the magpie guessed, "So you kicked him?"
“If he had the ability to kick the Demon Lord, why would he need to flee back in such a sorry state?” Ji Fengyao shook her head, denying Xi Que’s guess. Then her eyes narrowed, and she exclaimed in surprise, “Holy crap, you didn’t… poop a pile of poop and smear it all over his face, did you?!”
"Almost...more or less," Ghost Face mumbled, somewhat embarrassed, and told the truth with a grumble: "I've been eating a lot these past few days, so I couldn't help but let out a little fart..."
The room fell into a deathly silence.
A moment later.
A deafening burst of laughter erupted from inside the house, nearly lifting the roof off.
"I'm not even convinced by the wall, I'll support you! No wonder the Demon Lord is so determined to beat you to a pulp!"
"You're so mean! If word gets out, all the demons in the entire demon realm will probably want to tear you apart!"
Ghost Face coldly watched the women who mercilessly mocked him: "..."
My own mistress, my dear, don't be angry!
Knowing that Ghost Face needed to recover and rest, Ji Fengyao, Xique, and An Zijin didn't bother him for long.
The three of them, mistress and servants, suppressed their laughter all the way back to Ji Fengyao's room.
Laughter is laughter, and commotion is commotion.
Ji Fengyao took Guimian's words to heart, and as soon as she returned to her room, she asked An Zijin to bring Wu Dongyu and Lu Yang over.
Now, at the sixth peak of the Dan Sect, she has handed over all the management authority to Wu Tongyu, with Lu Yang assisting her from the side.
Because they were external staff members, Jiang Dailuo and the other three elders, including Qingluo, did not inquire about the matter.
"What? The Demon Lord might have infiltrated the Pill Sect?" Wu Tongyu and Lu Yang were both shocked upon hearing this.
"Miss, are you sure?" Wu Dongyu pressed, "This is no small matter!"
Ji Fengyao nodded and said, "I'm not entirely sure, but there's a 70% chance. So, you need to talk to the Grand Elder. Once you've finished dealing with the aftermath in Liuxiang Town, you need to find a pretext to thoroughly investigate everyone in the Dan Sect."
The Demon Lord's strength is extraordinary. During the investigation, you must not alert him or act rashly.
Do your utmost to ensure the safety of yourselves and the other disciples of the sect.
Although Wu Tongyu didn't know the basis for Ji Fengyao's "70%", the fact that she could say "70%" made him believe that Demon Lord Jiu Yue had probably really infiltrated the Pill Sect.
“Miss, the Demon Lord is most likely after the main peak. The most urgent task is to strengthen the defenses of the main peak,” Wu Tongyu said.
“Yes, Miss, you are our leader. That guy is probably after you. Why don’t we have all those powerful demons move to the foot of the main peak and have them take turns guarding it day and night, so that Jiu Yue can’t take advantage of the situation to come up and harm you?” Lu Yang also offered his advice.
Ji Fengyao knew that the Demon Lord might not have come for her this time; he was probably humiliated by Ghost Face and came to find Ghost Face.
But for the sake of Ghost Face's safety, and for her own safety, she didn't overestimate herself and agreed to Lu Yang's suggestion.
However, to avoid attracting Jiu Yue's attention with their actions, the great demons did not live openly at the foot of the main peak. Instead, they disguised themselves as medicine boys and moved into the thatched huts on the mountainside of the main peak.
The eight or nine most powerful demons moved to the vicinity of the thatched hut on the back mountain under the pretext that the herb garden needed to be tended.
