Several maidservants were chatting away, completely oblivious to the fact that Yaohua had opened her eyes inside the sack.
They arrived at a palace and quickly tossed the sack into a pond.
One young maid said worriedly, "Since we're going to frame her as a spy, why don't we just throw her into the mortal world?"
Another one patted her on the head. "You're so stupid. If we threw her down there, there'd surely be traces and we'd get found out. But there's a teleportation formation at the bottom of this pond. It'll activate in a few breaths and send her to the Penglai Secret Realm."
The Penglai Secret Realm was teeming with fierce beasts and could block all auras. Even Zhaoyue wouldn't be able to find Yaohua there. He'd surely assume she was a spy.
In this way, the Gluttonous Demon could get rid of Yaohua without anyone knowing.
The maidservants left in a hurry. "Hurry up. This is the Lust Demon's palace."
"The Lust Demon and the Gluttonous Demon have always been at odds. With our looks, if we get caught, we're done for!"
At the banquet, the demons were enjoying the food while whispering complaints. "The pet our leader found this time has such a bad temper. I heard that when the Gluttonous Demon just wanted to taste her flesh, she threatened to kill herself. Our leader was so angry that he broke the Gluttonous Demon's leg."
"Hehe, I heard that little phoenix is extremely beautiful. Our leader likes fresh beauties."
"Can she be more beautiful than Jinghe?"
A high platform was built beside the Divine Lord's Hall. Zhaoyue was reclining on a couch, casually scanning the area below.
At this moment, a young demon rushed over in a hurry. "Leader, the phoenix pet stole the defense map, injured the demon soldiers, and escaped!"
"What?" Zhaoyue narrowed his long eyes slightly.
Meanwhile, Yaohua climbed out of the pond and used her spiritual power to dry her clothes.
A little green - clothed demon ran over, tilting his head. "Ugly sister, you smell so good."
"Are you... the Lust Demon?" Yaohua took a half - step back calmly.
The little green - clothed demon was extremely cute. Hearing this, he smiled stupidly. "The Lust Demon? He's my father. I'm his most precious son!"
Yaohua nodded. "Got it. See you later."
She turned to leave, but the little demon grabbed her clothes. "Ugly sister..."
"Why do you call me ugly?" Yaohua twitched the corner of her eye.
The little demon said innocently, "You don't have horns. Of course, you're ugly."
He pointed to the two horns on his head and said proudly, "Only the most noble demons can have such beautiful horns."
Was it because of different species that they had different aesthetics?
Yaohua followed his train of thought and seriously thought for a second, then found herself ridiculous.
At a time like this, why should she care about what a child said?
She didn't have any ill feelings towards this little green - clothed demon. She simply said, "Since I'm ugly, then let me go quickly. I have things to do."
"Are you going to eat?" The little green - clothed demon hugged her thigh and said cheerfully, "My father is in seclusion. I'm hungry. Take me to the banquet."
Just thinking about the so - called demon banquet made Yaohua's stomach churn.
She shook her head. "Someone wants to harm me. I'm going out to explain. It's not convenient to take you."
The little green - clothed demon said seriously, "But there's a barrier set up by my father in this courtyard. If you don't take me, you can't get out."
Then, he made a fierce face. "If you don't take me out, I'll eat you!"
Although the situation was tense, Yaohua was still amused by this child.
She stretched out a finger and pushed the little guy back. "You think you can eat me?"
The little green - clothed demon pouted and burst into tears.
Yaohua ignored him completely. After confirming that she really couldn't break the barrier, she sat cross - legged on the spot to recuperate the injuries in her body.
The little demon threw himself into her arms sobbingly. "Why don't you comfort me? Don't you have any compassion?"
Yaohua rubbed her forehead. "I'm so ugly. Do you still want me to comfort you?"
There were still tears in the little green - clothed demon's eyes, but he said fiercely, "If you don't comfort me, I'll let my father do bad things to you, make you wish you were dead. He's a super Lust Demon!"
Yaohua replied calmly, "Your father doesn't dare to touch me."
The little demon asked angrily, "Why?"
Yaohua listened to the commotion outside and her smile widened. "Because I'm not an ordinary immortal. I'm your leader's pet."
The little demon was greatly shocked. "Why are you so proud of being a pet?"
"Attaching myself to a powerful force, I can gain more power and get the person I want!" A glint of light flashed in Yaohua's eyes.
At this moment, a dim light hit the barrier here.
"Boom!"
The barrier shattered directly. Zhaoyue's eyes were filled with undisguised anger. "Yaohua, you've really disappointed me!"
When the Gluttonous Demon saw her figure, shock flashed across his pupils. Then he shouted, "Quickly take this spy away and torture her severely."
But Yaohua sneered. "Gluttonous Demon, your scheme to frame me is too clumsy."
Zhaoyue was stunned. With her intelligence, she naturally saw the Gluttonous Demon's uneasiness. He asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
The little green - clothed demon shouted, "I heard everything. It was Uncle Gluttonous Demon who sent people to frame this sister. He also planned to throw her into the pond and let the pond's formation send her to Penglai!"
Without hesitation, Zhaoyue kicked the Gluttonous Demon. The latter let out a miserable cry and flew far away, looking terrified. "Leader, I was worried that this person was a spy. I thought her actions were sneaky, so I resorted to this. Although stealing the defense map is false, she often goes to the Divine Lord's Hall and the Tianhe River when you're not around. She also inquires about your whereabouts!"
He took out a memory crystal, in which Yaohua's figure inquiring about information everywhere was clearly shown.
Zhaoyue squinted his eyes. He was dissatisfied with both of them.
The Gluttonous Demon dared to act behind his back, and Yaohua might really be a spy.
At this moment, the Demon General who liked to tear people scratched his head. "Well, isn't it normal for her to inquire about information?"
The other Demon Generals also looked strange.
Zhaoyue's eyes were full of fierceness. "You've all been hiding something from me?!"
Yaohua sighed. Spiritual power surged around her, and the outer cyan dress exploded.
All the demons were stunned.
She was wearing a golden mermaid - silk dress. Golden bells were tied to her bare and soft feet. Her fair skin was even more alluring under the luster of the scales, and her slender waist was simply captivating.
There was a glint of ambition in her eyes. "I've thought it over. You're right. I shouldn't be so desperate for a man. As long as I have power and status, all men will crawl at my feet."
Such an ambitious smile was extremely attractive to the demons. Many demons secretly swallowed their saliva.
Zhaoyue was also a bit incredulous. "So you inquired about information everywhere just to make this dress?"
"Making the dress is just a means." Yaohua looked around, then smiled proudly and stared straight at him.
