Chapter 726

After much thought, Ye Yu, thinking “I’ve come all this way anyway,” finally agreed to let Ji Kaitai show the results of his efforts during this time.

Soon, he arrived at the main hall accompanied by five female demons.

No denying it, he really did have strabismus.

But that didn’t affect the sight of the female demons one bit.

Although among these five female demons, Luo Ning still wasn’t present.

Yet they all bore some resemblance.

It was clear Ji Kaitai had put genuine effort into this.

Ye Yu waved his hand, signaling for him to take the five female demons away.

Seeing this, Feng Zhenxin immediately stepped forward and asked, “Master, these aren’t the ones?”

“They’re not!”

Ye Yu shook his head slightly, unable to help but sigh as he continued, “But your supervisor really has been conscientious.

Just don’t be too stingy with your subordinates going forward.

Give them the demon stones they deserve, at least let him fix those cross-eyes of his.”

Feng Zhenxin felt like crying but had no tears.

Ji Kaitai was a true chicken demon; cross-eyes were his nature—there was really no cure.

However, seeing Ye Yu in a bad mood, he didn’t dare say more.

Instead, he began thinking to himself whether he should find some disguise techniques for Ji Kaitai later.

So that when he came to see Master again, his eyes might look a bit better.

Though this might be against his ancestors’ wishes, if it could make Master happier,

then it would all be worth it.

After Feng Zhenxin took his leave,

Ye Yu sat alone in his room and began studying the Boundary Pearl that had just been delivered.

Previously, under the name of the Conscience Workshop, he had gathered many demon clan master craftsmen.

But without exception, none could do anything with this supreme Underworld artifact.

They frankly claimed it was beyond repair; its internal structure was too different from that of the demons.

So, after going around in a circle, the Boundary Pearl returned to Ye [N O V E L I G H T] Yu’s hands again.

Looks like next time he leaves, he’ll have to locate it by fate.

Really infuriating.

But where exactly had Luo Ning gone? Despite searching, she couldn’t be found. Had she already ascended to the Heavenly Realm?

That seemed unlikely.

After all, even if Luo Ning was ascending, she wouldn’t take the entire Lishui Clam Demon clan along.

Just as Ye Yu was pondering this,

a figure rushed in swiftly, entering the main hall.

It was none other than Jiang Jinhe, the lord of Jianyao City.

She didn’t approach Ye Yu directly, but stood still, closing her eyes tightly, sweeping her divine sense over the surroundings.

Only after confirming no demons were nearby did she slowly step forward.

Seeing this, Ye Yu asked with curiosity, “What’s going on today? You seem a bit off!”

“There’s nothing wrong; it’s your imagination!”

After taking several deep breaths,

Jiang Jinhe walked straight to Ye Yu and sat down properly, quietly looking at him.

Before coming, she had fully prepared herself mentally.

After the journey to Ba’an Sea Secret Realm, Jiang Jinhe had completely accepted Ye Yu.

In her heart, the only thing left between them was one thin sheet of glass unbroken.

During the day, she had spoken plainly enough,

hoping Ye Yu would take the initiative.

But with Feng Zhenxin, the Conscience Workshop master, nearby,

Ye Yu never confessed.

Well, since that was the case,

to consider the feelings of her “secret admirer,”

Jiang Jinhe chose to come at night,

creating a quiet, undisturbed environment for Ye Yu.

This was why she had used her divine sense to check the surroundings upon arrival.

Jiang Jinhe had already made up her mind.

If Ye Yu could say the word “like,”

she would recklessly be with him, becoming demon lovers and the envy of the demon world.

So, come on!

Jiang Jinhe looked at Ye Yu seriously, her eyes full of encouragement.

She hoped he would break through that thin sheet of glass now.

But Ye Yu clearly wasn’t on the same wavelength.

He simply stretched out his right hand, placing it on the table.

The meaning was clear: Jiang Jinhe should fulfill the promise she made in the secret realm and give him the superior demon immortal artifact.

He didn’t even say a word beyond that.

Because, in Ye Yu’s view, Jiang Jinhe’s late-night visit was definitely for this matter.

No need for extra talk.

Unbeknownst to him, this action made Jiang Jinhe slightly stunned.

What kind of move was this?

No words, just reaching out to hold hands directly to express the decision to be together?

Such a reserved male demon!

Is the word “like” really that hard to say?

Jiang Jinhe was surprised but decided to respond anyway so as not to miss her chance.

So, under Ye Yu’s gaze,

she reached out and held Ye Yu’s hand.

Their fingers intertwined, looking very sweet.

At this moment, Jiang Jinhe’s face flushed again, and she shyly lowered her head.

Ye Yu, however, stared oddly at his right hand.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

One breath, two breaths...

Ten breaths passed without any abnormality.

Ye Yu couldn’t help but break the silence first, asking in confusion, “What exactly are you trying to do?”

Hearing this,

Jiang Jinhe was shy but still didn’t let go of his fair hand.

Instead, she softly said, “Bad person, what do you think I’m doing?”

Ye Yu’s mouth twitched twice.

Wait, what was this sudden coquettishness about?

Trying to use this to get out of giving a superior demon immortal artifact?

Jiang Jinhe, oh Jiang Jinhe, you really don’t get it, do you?

The deal was just made less than half a day ago, and now you’re acting like you don’t know me.

How inappropriate is that?

Seeing Ye Yu remained silent,

Jiang Jinhe raised her head slightly and looked at Ye Yu affectionately.

This final look

completely broke Ye Yu down.

He immediately shook his hand off, saying, “Alright, alright! Don’t be like this. I don’t want that superior demon immortal artifact anymore, okay?”

“Superior demon immortal artifact? What’s that?”

Jiang Jinhe was a bit confused.

Why, after the handholding succeeded, was Ye Yu suddenly talking about the superior artifact again?

Is this really being reserved?

Doesn’t seem like it!

Ye Yu couldn’t help but applaud sarcastically: “Impressive, playing dumb, huh? But fine, I really don’t want it, just don’t scare me.

I won’t have any other ideas about that zither, alright?”

Hearing this, Jiang Jinhe finally understood.

She immediately scolded, “What did you think it was? It was the promised superior demon immortal artifact.

You’re such a bad person. At this time, you’re still thinking about that stuff?

Don’t you think it’s a bit of a buzzkill?

In the future, whatever you want, isn’t it all yours anyway?”

Ye Yu involuntarily took a sharp breath.

Wait, why are her words getting weirder and weirder?

Jiang Jinhe, you’re really acting strange today!

However, before Ye Yu could ask,

the entire Conscience Workshop suddenly trembled.

Almost a hundred defensive formations immediately activated,

completely protecting the Conscience Workshop within.

Feng Zhenxin rushed to the door and said sternly, “Master, some demons are forcefully breaking into the Conscience Workshop. What should we do?”

“No matter who comes, tear them to pieces!

Anyone who dares to covet my things clearly doesn’t know the meaning of death!”

Before Ye Yu could reply,

Jiang Jinhe stepped forward first.

The murderous intent and resentment caused by the interruption had already reached their peak.
