"Smack!" A loud noise echoed, causing the little demons standing outside the room to tremble all over. Their faces turned deathly pale. You know, their young master's temper had been getting more and more explosive lately.
"Damn it! Why? Another woman has moved into Mu Yijie's villa. Why can Yong Shanling do it? Even a woman of unknown origin can, but she can't!"
She, the young miss of the Ye family, in charge of all the demons in Huai City under the Ye family, was she not worthy of Mu Yijie? She had given so many explicit and implicit hints, but he had never been moved.
Thinking of this, Ye Wei's eyes grew increasingly sinister. And Ye Ya, that useless wretch! She had sent him to kill Yong Shanling, but he had been killed instead. She shouldn't have spared his life in the first place.
No, she couldn't sit back and do nothing anymore. Otherwise, Mu Yijie might really end up with Yong Shanling. Just thinking of the pictures she had collected recently of Mu Yijie and Yong Shanling being together made her heart ache.
I won't, I won't let any other woman have him. He is destined to be my, Ye Wei's, man.
It seemed that she had to take action herself. Thinking of this, she said to a person in the darkness behind her, "Get me a copy of Yong Shanling's recent travel schedule."
"Yes," a hoarse voice came from the corner. With a wave, the black - robed man who had been standing there disappeared.
Just after he left, another black - robed man suddenly appeared on the chair in Ye Wei's room. He sat on the chair with his back to Ye Wei.
"How's the task I assigned you going?"
The sudden voice startled Ye Wei. Only then did she notice there was an extra person in the room.
With a respectful look on her face, she lowered her head and said to the man, "My lord, please rest assured. I've captured all the demons I could find nearby. And there are also some people with merits. My lord's great cause will surely succeed!"
"Good," a hoarse and indistinguishable voice came. "How's the follow - up work? Will no one find out?"
"Please rest assured, my lord. The hiding skills of our Ye family are absolutely top - notch. Unless it's a super - powerful being, no one will be able to discover us. And there is no other powerful being in Huai City except you," Ye Wei looked at the ground, with a flash of fanaticism in her eyes. Once her lord succeeded, their branch of the Ye family would surely rise to a higher level.
"Very good. Keep collecting people with merits. The more merits, the better." The old man left this sentence and then disappeared from the chair.
It was not until half an hour after the old man left that Ye Wei finally relaxed. Just the faint pressure from that person sitting there made it hard for her to breathe, and she almost showed her true form.
Thinking of the small demons she had almost captured in the vicinity, she felt a bit annoyed. The remaining demons were deeply involved with others. Once they were touched, their plan might be exposed, and this was exactly what her lord did not allow.
Maybe she could start with those ordinary people with merits. Her fingernails painted with red nail polish gently rubbed the handle as she looked ahead thoughtfully, with red light flashing in her eyes.
"According to the report, this is the sixth missing - person case in Huai City. The person who went missing this time is a teacher. If any citizen has any relevant clues, there will be a generous reward for reporting to the police station."
"Wow, Uncle Mu. This seems to be the sixth missing - person case. Are there such rampant murderers among humans recently?" Yong Shanling asked, looking at Mu Yijie with a puzzled look while munching on a chicken drumstick.
Mu Yijie stared intently at the photos of the missing people on the TV, lost in thought.
"Do you think the disappearances of these people have anything to do with Mu Qing's disappearance?"
As soon as Mu Yijie finished speaking, Yong Shanling looked up excitedly and said, "No way. These are ordinary people. Well, Mu Qing is a spiritual cultivator. They shouldn't have been captured by the same group, right?"
Mu Yijie's eyes darkened. He said softly, "I also hope not. If they are, then their ambition is huge."
However, Mu Yijie still told Yong Shanling to ask Monkey Flower if any demons in the vicinity had gone missing.
Just then—
"Ding - dong, ding - dong." Suddenly, the doorbell rang at the front door.
Yong Shanling bounced over to open the door. Seeing the person in front of her, she immediately let out an excited scream and pounced forward. "Sister Flower, you're finally back."
"Hahaha," a hearty laugh came. Then Yong Shanling was tightly hugged in a pair of wheat - colored arms.
"Little Ling'er, I'm back. Have you missed me?" Monkey Flower's almond eyes were full of smiles as she said briskly.
"Little Flower, let go of Xiao Ling'er quickly. Look, she's almost out of breath!" A somewhat helpless voice came from behind them.
Yong Shanling was startled by Monkey Flower's enthusiasm. She struggled to stick her head out of Sister Flower's embrace. Her little face was flushed. "Sister Monkey Flower, why are you even more enthusiastic after you went out? Is there something good going on?"
Monkey Flower paused. A rare blush appeared on her face. She stammered a bit, which made Yong Shanling even more interested. "Well~ there is something. I've found the person I can have babies with."
"Really?" Yong Shanling's eyes lit up. She quickly twisted her little head and looked around, trying to find that legendary man. However, behind them, there was no one else except Li Zhuo. So who on earth was that legendary brother - in - law?
Strange. There was no one else.
Could it be—
Yong Shanling gradually shifted her gaze to the only man following Monkey Flower, that sunny and handsome Li Zhuo whom she had always called Uncle Li.
She stared at him in stunned silence, with a look of shock on her delicate little face. Uncle Li, is that person you? Yong Shanling's tone was full of disgust, as if Monkey Flower was a beautiful flower stuck in the cow dung of Li Zhuo.
A vein on Li Zhuo's forehead throbbed. This kid, after not seeing her for a while, seemed to be getting more and more annoying.
"What? Can't we be together?" Li Zhuo gritted his teeth and looked at Yong Shanling. He was ready to teach this little girl a good lesson if she didn't say something to his satisfaction.
Yong Shanling sensed something was wrong. She gave a somewhat awkward smile. "No, no. Uncle Li and Sister Flower are a perfect match. They are a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven."
After saying that, she rolled her eyes with a sly smile. "Didn't Uncle Li say he would never be with Sister Flower before?"
Li Zhuo coughed lightly and shifted his gaze. "Haha, this is a gift Monkey Flower and I picked out for you."
Li Zhuo took out two boxes and threw them at Yong Shanling.
Yong Shanling fumbled to catch the two boxes. She opened them with great interest. It turned out to be two medicinal herbs she had been unable to find before. She immediately excitedly hugged Monkey Flower's face and gave her a big kiss.
"Sister Flower, you're so nice~"
"By the way, Sister Flower, do you know if any demons in Huai City have gone missing recently?"
