Chapter 1565: Chapter 625: Encounter

Meeting a guest?

Wuyue heard this and furrowed her delicate brows.

Recently, because the Demon King Tongtian’s birthday was approaching, people from other large and small tribes of the Demon Clan came incessantly to pay their respects to the Demon King.

In the Royal Tent, there was endless singing and dancing day and night, without rest for 24 hours a day.

However, Shui Yaoyao did not like the Demon King’s friends and guests; she was arrogant by nature and never attended such occasions.

What’s going on tonight? It’s already deep into the night; what kind of guest requires Shui Yaoyao to meet in person?

Wuyue thought to herself but dared not neglect the matter.

The Tongtian Tribe belongs to the Demon Clan, where customs are open, and incidents like marrying by abduction happen from time to time.

Especially among some Demon Clan Nobles; if they take a liking to someone, they grab them into their tents without a word.

Although Wuyue was not as stunning as Shui Yaoyao, her demeanor and innate quality set her apart from ordinary demons, attracting a lot of secret admiration in the Tongtian Tribe.

Shui Yaoyao found out several times, severely reprimanding those people, making them restrain themselves a bit.

This showed how much Shui Yaoyao was fond of Wuyue as a maid; it wasn’t like someone of her status would respect a mere servant. She merely didn’t like the attention, which should have been hers, falling on Wuyue.

Moreover, unlike other maids, Wuyue didn’t speak much.

But Shui Yaoyao had heard she spent her childhood in Human Clan cities, where clothing styles, hairstyles, adornments, even rouge and powder were far superior to those of Demon women.

With Wuyue’s artistic touch, Shui Yaoyao appeared more radiantly charming.

This is why Shui Yaoyao kept Wuyue by her side.

Wuyue was well aware of this, yet she never exposed it, outwardly obeying Shui Yaoyao’s commands.

The identity of being Shui Yaoyao’s maid was her best protection at present.

Wuyue quickly selected an outfit and groomed Shui Yaoyao, who was quite satisfied.

"You come with me to the Royal Tent."

Shui Yaoyao glanced at herself in the copper mirror, her eyes filled with spring, her face like a peach blossom — even she couldn’t help but feel moved.

She sprinkled a bit more fragrant powder, then left the camp, heading towards the Royal Tent.

Outside the Royal Tent, it was brightly lit.

Unlike usual, tonight there were no sounds of singing, dancing, or clinking glasses, only a heavily guarded atmosphere.

Sentinels every three steps, a lookout every five steps.

Wuyue knew some important figure must have arrived.

The Demon King Tongtian was one of the Six Great Demon Kings of the Demon World.

The grandeur before her even surpassed him — could it be...

Wuyue wasn’t clear about the power distribution of the Demon World; she guessed it was likely another Demon King.

After a few steps, a row of Demon Tribe Warriors in red and black Demon Helmets stood on both sides.

These warriors were entirely different from those in the Tongtian Tribe.

They stared straight ahead, like statues, each exuding a daunting Demon Evil Energy, making it hard for one to breathe just by getting close.

Behind them were Chi Prison Horses with bloody evil clouds at their feet.

Shui Yaoyao strode into the Royal Tent, her beautiful face full of anticipation.

"Yaoyao? You and Chi Ye haven’t seen each other for years."

Demon King Tongtian Shui Yi saw his beloved daughter and smiled.

Wuyue followed right behind Shui Yaoyao inside.

She dared not lift her head, only glancing toward the front of the Royal Tent with the corner of her eyes.

Beside Demon King Tongtian Shui Yi sat a young man.

Due to her angle, Wuyue couldn’t see the man’s exact features, only his flame-like red hair.

Just as Wuyue was about to avert her gaze, her pupils involuntarily contracted at the sight of an item in the man’s hands.

It was a hefty book, inscribed with the Merit Book.

Wuyue’s heart felt seized by an enormous grip.

This book was the Tongtian Tribe’s Merit Book she had been seeking all along.

She had secretly inquired about its whereabouts and heard Shui Yaoyao mention by chance that only a few people in the Tongtian Tribe could access it.

Even Shui Yaoyao, being the Young Clan Leader, couldn’t casually flip through it.

"Chi Ye, you finally came; Yaoyao missed you during these years."

Seeing her crush, Shui Yaoyao rushed forward and, without a second thought, snatched the Merit Book from Chi Ye’s hand and threw it aside.

The Merit Book landed precisely at Wuyue’s feet.

Take a look; isn’t it just a tattered book? Could it possibly be more attractive than her?

Confident in her appearance tonight, Shui Yaoyao pressed her curvy body against the red-haired man.

Wuyue stared at the Merit Book, involuntarily swallowing hard.

Instinctively, she reached out to pick it up.

That book held clues to finding her enemies.

Her fingers already touched the Merit Book when suddenly...

With a cry, Shui Yaoyao stumbled, unable to embrace the red-haired man.

A dense masculine aura enveloped her.

A hand covered Wuyue’s fingers.

It was a large hand with bronze skin, enough to encase her entire hand.

Wuyue froze, instinctively looking up at the hand’s owner.

A fiery red greeted her eyes.

This man?

Wuyue’s heart felt as if struck by a blunt object.

A mere step away stood a man.

Fiery red hair, fiery red eyes, chiseled features like a sculpted masterpiece, and tightly pressed thin lips, filled with impatience and disdain.

Realizing that the softness beneath his hand was a woman’s hand, the Beiyu Emperor Chi Ye reacted like a cat with its tail stepped on, bristling instantly.

As if he had touched something disgusting, Chi Ye immediately withdrew his hand.

A burst of demonic power erupted without warning.

Like being hit by a palm, Wuyue’s body flew and crashed to the ground.

"Uncle, I said before, no women are allowed in my quarters or tents."

Chi Ye picked up the Merit Book, looked at the page Wuyue had touched, and tore it off without a second thought, tossing it aside.

"Chi Ye, still haven’t gotten over your old issue? She’s Yaoyao’s maid — you and Yaoyao grew up together."

Demon King Tongtian Shui Yi comforted his daughter.

Shui Yaoyao, with reddened eyes, looked a bit disgraced.

"Yaoyao, you should go back; Chi Ye needs to review the Merit Book tonight, and he’ll be staying in the Tongtian Tribe for now."

Demon King Tongtian guided his daughter away.

Though unwilling, Shui Yaoyao knew Chi Ye’s temper and reluctantly left.

Rubbing her slightly numb arm from the fall, Wuyue glanced at Chi Ye’s Merit Book, gritted her teeth, and exited the Royal Tent.
