Zhao Wu showed a struggling look again and murmured to himself, "No, it's not the right time yet. I can't defeat Zhao Yue. How about you wait for a while?"
Yaohua said disappointedly, "I dared to break into the Demon Clan alone, but you don't even have the courage to take action... Well, since you're so timid, forget it!"
She turned around and left. Zhao Wu wanted to stop her, but thinking of the disappointment in her words, he didn't have the standing to do so. He could only clench his fists silently.
A hundred meters away, Chongming was waiting for her. "How's the situation?"
Yaohua shook her head, looking a bit dejected. "Although Zhao Wu was persuaded by me, he thinks his strength is not enough and doesn't dare to take action."
She glanced at Chongming. "Why aren't you surprised, Master?"
"The Heavenly Demons never do anything without gain. Although Zhao Wu seems to love and cherish you on the surface, all his emotions may not be able to outweigh the benefits in his heart. So it's normal that you couldn't persuade him."
Chongming had expected this, but he couldn't bear to see Yaohua so dejected. So he comforted her, "It doesn't matter. If he doesn't agree, I can capture him with the Linglong Pagoda and use him as a hostage to exchange for Yanling."
Yaohua nodded. "This... Although Zhao Yue probably won't care about his life, it's still a way, right?"
Just as Chongming was about to take action, Zhao Wu chased after them. "Yaohua, wait!"
Chongming instinctively stepped in front of Yaohua. "What are you doing?"
Zhao Wu gave Chongming a wary and malicious look, then directly bypassed him and grabbed Yaohua's hand. "I can agree to what you said just now, but after it's done, you have to fulfill your promise. I won't miss any of the three formal letters and six etiquettes. As long as you're willing to be my wife for real!"
Being passionately confessed to in front of her master, Yaohua felt quite uncomfortable. She cursed silently in her heart. Isn't this taking advantage of the situation?
"You're taking advantage of the situation." Chongming spoke for her, his gaze cold. "If you like her, you should pursue her openly, not blackmail her when she's in trouble."
"But I've never been a gentleman. I just want her." Zhao Wu grabbed her wrist and said with a smile, "Hey, are you willing?"
Yaohua was extremely unwilling in her heart, but she showed a surprised look. "Are you really willing to do so many things for me?"
Seeing her looking at him with bright eyes, Zhao Wu couldn't help but stroke her hair a few times. The corner of his mouth curved up involuntarily. "Silly girl, wait for me to marry you!"
Chongming watched all this and only felt that his mood suddenly turned bad. There was a dull ache in his chest, as if something was about to burst out, which made him feel uncomfortable.
He disliked Zhao Wu more and more, but he didn't know why he felt this way.
Zhao Wu felt the hostility and immediately showed a murderous look in his eyes. "What? Does he also want to be your lover? Otherwise, why does he look so fierce when he sees me being intimate with you?"
Yaohua was startled. "Watch your words. This is my master. He was afraid that I would be bullied by you when I came alone, and he doesn't like the demonic aura on you. That's why he has such an expression."
"Of course I know he's your master, but you two have always been close. After you marry me, you have to avoid being alone with him!" Zhao Wu was very satisfied to see her anxious to clarify. "By the way, who was the one who saved you in Kunlun Mountain?"
"I don't know either." Yaohua pretended to be confused. "Maybe it was your enemy who deliberately sabotaged your plan?"
Seeing her big eyes still glistening with tears blinking at him, Zhao Wu almost stared blankly. How could he still care about any love rival.
He suddenly picked her up and walked towards the army camp.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Yaohua struggled constantly.
"Stupid girl. If you struggle anymore, be careful that your wound will split open!" Zhao Wu said with a hint of disgust. "Only the holy medicine of our Heavenly Demon Clan can cure the arrow wound on your shoulder. Ask your master to put down his sword and come to my place as a guest for a few days!"
When Zhao Wu really gave the holy medicine for treating injuries to Yaohua, she held the bottle in her hand, her mood fluctuating. She was filled with gratitude. "I never thought that in a crisis, neither the Immortal Realm nor the various clans were willing to lend a helping hand. Only Brother Zhao Wu is truly good to me."
She said this from the bottom of her heart, and the way she called him "brother" was full of sincerity.
Zhao Wu said proudly, "What are you talking about? I'm just doing this to seize the position of the royal family."
Yaohua threw herself into his arms and traced patterns on his body with her finger.
Zhao Wu was first extremely surprised because of the beauty throwing herself into his arms. Then he gradually calmed down. He hugged her pretending to be affectionate, but actually felt carefully.
Yaohua wrote, "Our actions are being monitored. Zhao Yue doesn't have to be killed."
The usually stingy system was so generous for Zhao Yue's demonic aura. There must be something fishy about it. So she didn't want to let the system succeed.
After writing, she whispered, "Brother, please take good care of yourself. You must also stay calm and don't act rashly, or you'll provoke someone you shouldn't."
Zhao Wu lowered his eyes and stroked her hair. "Don't worry. I will definitely marry you back safely."
He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Who could be lurking on Yaohua, monitoring their every move without being discovered?
No wonder she was always cold and hot. It turned out that she was tightly controlled by the people in the Immortal Realm.
Humph, one day, he must attack the Nine Heavens, rule everyone, and make them all obediently crawl and not dare to act recklessly.
In the following days, because Yaohua was grateful for Zhao Wu's help, she praised him from time to time. Although he was proud, he gradually became more and more obedient to her. Chongming disliked him even more.
The Heavenly River was surging. On the other side of the river was the Heavenly Demon's camp.
"Zhao Yue is now in the Heavenly Demon Mansion. She loves fine wine and treats the Dianzhu sisters, who are also women, differently. We can start from here."
Before returning to the Heavenly Demon's camp, Zhao Wu explained his plan. "I've already recalled the Dianzhu sisters. We can take action after night falls."
Not long after, the Dianzhu sisters came gracefully. Although Yaohua was their mortal enemy before, now she had to pin her hopes on them. She couldn't help but bow and say, "I'll have to trouble you two for what's going to happen next!"
The two sisters nodded indifferently.
At night, Yaohua and her master were waiting by the river together, feeling very nervous.
She originally wanted to go and help Zhao Wu, but the latter insisted that she shouldn't go. He only said that if her identity was exposed in the Heavenly Demon's camp, it would startle the enemy.
"I wonder how they're doing." She murmured. "I always feel a bit restless."
Chongming comforted her, "Zhao Wu is a cunning person. If he's not sure, he won't act easily."
Yaohua could only force a smile. Just then, the demonic aura erupted on the other side of the river. There was a lot of noise. The fire and the sound of fighting were almost in a complete mess.
"They've taken action!" Just as she was about to rush in to help in the chaos, she bumped into a disheveled Zhao Wu head-on.
