“Father, I’ll take my sister to see it. They can’t see it as clearly as I can. Besides, my sister has always listened to me the most since we were little.”
In Zhongli Quanhuang's eyes, his second daughter had always been very obedient to Zhongli Yu.
Although he also doted on his eldest daughter, she was an accidental child, while Zhongli Yueluo was the legitimate daughter.
If it weren't for the fact that he was ambushed and fell into the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss back then, and Yin Manling hadn't cured him of the poison and taken good care of him.
But he clearly remembered not having one... and in the end, he didn't know how he ended up with this eldest daughter.
"Alright, Yu'er, take Yueluo down there."
Zhongli Quanhuang thought that anything was fine, as long as it wasn't for a man, especially a man from the Gongshu family, that he would want to die.
"Demon Lord, what about the files of Side Pavilion?" Gongshu Liang frowned, not expecting the situation to develop in this way.
"Just handle it the way you see fit; do you need me to teach you?"
Zhong Liyu secretly gave Gongshu Liang a look, signaling him to stop talking.
Zhongli Yueluo suddenly thought of something: "Father, I think that in order for me to choose a husband in peace, I would like to request an imperial decree to prohibit Gongshu Liang from entering Yuanyue Pavilion!"
Zhongli Quanhuang was stunned. He hadn't expected that Gongshu Liang, who had been so desperate for him, would say such a thing now.
He was secretly delighted, but on the surface he still had to maintain that dignified appearance.
"Since you think that way, that's for the best. I hereby issue a decree that Gongshu Liang is forbidden from stepping into Yuanyue Pavilion during the marriage selection period!"
Zhongli Yuelu thought to herself, if she couldn't stop Zhongli Yu from wandering around her courtyard so often, then surely Gongshu Liang could stop him.
This way, there will be one less person to harm her, and she can be less wary.
Gongshu Liang couldn't believe it. How could Zhongli Yueluo, who used to only have eyes for him, have become like this?
Perhaps he was too immersed in the role, for he turned to look at her with a pained expression.
He stared into her eyes in utter disbelief, as if she had betrayed him.
She glared back coldly. What was she looking at? It only disgusted her.
She stood up, holding onto Zhong Liyu's shoulder.
“Father, it was a misunderstanding. I want to go back first. I heard that the young lords of the Wind Spirit Ghost Clan and the Zhen Clan have entered the city. I want to go and see them.”
"It would be best if you took the matter of choosing a spouse to heart. Now, all of you, step aside!"
Zhongli Yueluo led He Yuhuan outside, relieved to find it was a false alarm.
Gongshu Liang, as shameless as ever, came out and, just like before, took her hand.
"Yueluo, what's wrong with you these past two days? Why are you ignoring me? If you keep going like this, you'll really lose me!"
He Yuhuan glared at him with disgust. What kind of thing was he to dare to pull her master like that? She bared her teeth.
Zhongli Yueluo found it somewhat amusing. Lose him? She wished she could never see him again!
"Gongshu Liang, haven't I made myself clear enough?" She angrily flung her hand away, staring at him coldly.
"I have already requested permission in the main hall that you are no longer permitted to enter or leave my Yuanyue Pavilion, and it would be best if you did not appear before me!"
"Yueluo! My patience has its limits. If you continue to act so unreasonably, no one in this world will care for you or love you anymore!"
It's disgusting. This whole line made her want to vomit. Was he trying to disgust her with these words? Well, he succeeded!
"You're far too confident that you'll soon have three handsome, dashing, and exceptionally brave husbands. Why would I even consider you?"
After saying that, she rolled her eyes and walked forward, when Gongshu Liang suddenly called out to her loudly.
"Zhongli Yueluo! What kind of good people do you think those three are?"
"They came to choose a bride, do you think it's for your sake? It's just for the benefit of their own clan!"
Zhongli Yueluo was stunned for a moment, then looked downcast. He Yuhuan held her hand and looked into her eyes with a hint of grievance.
Seemingly recalling those unbearable and painful memories of her past life, she turned her head and frowned coldly.
"Isn't it natural to form marriage alliances for mutual benefit?"
"Even if they have ulterior motives, they are a hundred or a thousand times cleaner than you. They wouldn't use such disgusting methods to harm me!"
Her eyes were sharp. He Yuhuan had already gripped the golden mace in her hand. Getting too angry would make her brain taste bad.
How dare she anger her master! Her sharp teeth chattered as she chewed them.
It was as if she was just waiting for Zhongli Yueluo's command to rush up and smash him to pieces.
"Yu Huan, you're making your hammer dirty by hitting him. Let's go."
Gong Shuliang hadn't expected that even after he'd gone this far, she still showed no sign of turning back.
What exactly is wrong with her that has turned her into this uncontrollable state?
"Zhongli Yueluo, I advise you not to regret this. If you turn back and beg me now, I can still be with you!"
He Yuhuan narrowed her green eyes, and the golden mace landed precisely at Gongshu Liang's feet, creating a large crater.
She made a throat-slitting gesture, opened her mouth but didn't make a sound, but he could tell she meant "I'll kill you!"
Gongshu Liang stood there without making a move, the hairs on the back of his head standing on end in fear.
By the time I realized what was happening, sweat was already dripping from my forehead onto the ground.
Zhong Liyu walked to his side, arms crossed, her foxy eyes darting around, seemingly plotting something mischievous again.
She said, "Ah Liang, that monster beside her must not be allowed to live!"
"Of course I know." He wiped his sweat from his face; he was indeed frightening.
As Zhongli Yueluo walked, she recalled the events of the previous night.
Now that I think about it, why did Su Fengling go and set fire to the imperial court?
He and Su Fengjun are usually inseparable, so why is he alone this time?
Could it be Su Fengjun who broke her out of prison? But why did she kidnap her mother? Did something like this happen in her previous life?
She wasn't sure either, but since there was someone she suspected, she had to go and meet them first.
"Yu Huan, let's go out today."
They returned to Yuanyue Pavilion, where Taoxia and Wuluo were standing at the entrance, seemingly waiting for them.
Tao Xia and her sister Zhong Liyu seemed to be cut from the same cloth, and they both spoke as if they had been trained.
"Second Princess, are you alright? Has the Demon Lord punished you?"
She shook her head and asked in return, "I don't know if you want me to be punished, or if you don't want me to be punished?"
"Second Princess, this servant didn't mean that." She knelt down without warning, making a crisp thud as she did so.
"I'm telling you again, in Yuanyue Pavilion you can only call me Princess, don't add the 'second' part, it sounds annoying!"
"Yes, princess!"
"Also, this lady's name is He Yuhuan. When you see her in the future, you'd better treat her with the same respect you would show me."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid she'll get so hungry that she'll crack your skull open." His eyes flashed coldly; he wasn't joking.
He Yuhuan was still in a daze when she heard "hungry for what?"
She blinked her blue eyes, biting her nails with her sharp teeth: "Oh, you can eat their brains?"
He then gave the maids a terrifying smile, his golden mace seemingly itching to be used.
The maids were indeed quite frightened by her expression, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at the two of them.
