The Cool and Aloof Senior Sister Always Flirts with Me

Chapter 156: White Chalk Mountain

Ye Yunying had escaped from the Demon Lord's lair when he was drunk from a grand banquet he held for the demons. She overheard him planning to hand her over to the Three Demons. It was then that she managed to flee from the Demon Cave.

However, before that, she had gathered information: the Demon Lord had been keeping numerous young women in a cave near the northwest, offering human blood every day to summon an ancient ferocious beast.

Ye Yunying said, "When I fled from the Demon Lord's side, I found out that he had sent people to investigate the list of elders attending the Wanxian Conference."

Qi Xianqing remained silent, and Yan Jue frowned.

After Ye Yunying conveyed the information to Qi Xianqing and Yan Jue, she lowered her head slightly, clutching her clothes tightly, her expression filled with deep regret. "Master, I'm sorry."

"I shouldn't have severed ties with the Demon Lord so early, causing you to be left with no new information now."

Perhaps it was due to the Master-servant contract, but Ye Yunying's respect for Qi Xianqing grew daily.

Or maybe it was because she had been poisoned by the Demon Lord long ago, and it was only thanks to Qi Xianqing and the others that she could suppress it.

Though neither of them spoke about it, Ye Yunying had seen Yan Jue cutting her arm with a knife that day in the room—she was using her own blood as a price to help Song Miyun.

Ye Yunying's mindset had always been that since Qi Xianqing helped her, she wanted to be of use to her.

But now, looking at it, she felt that she had not provided any real help to Qi Xianqing.

Qi Xianqing casually propped her legs up on the chair, her fingers flipping the ornament around her waist. She gently shook her head. "It's fine, having this information is already very helpful."

At the very least, Ye Yunying had told them the most important thing.

Suddenly, Qi Xianqing remembered something. She asked, "After you escaped, did the Demon Lord ever try to find you?"

Ye Yunying hesitated for a moment, then took a broken communication talisman from her sleeve.

Qi Xianqing took the talisman, scanning it with her divine sense. She quickly saw the message the Demon Lord had left for Ye Yunying.

Most of the message was filled with threats and intimidation, with a fair amount of coaxing and pleading as well.

Qi Xianqing felt a bit disgusted, but then heard Ye Yunying mention, "The Demon Lord has been recruiting demons and evil beings from all over the world. I heard he welcomes anyone who comes."

...

After Ye Yunying left, Qi Xianqing placed the Demon Suppression Tower on the table and formed a seal with her hands.

The tower trembled, and something jumped out from within.

The ferocious beast, Taotie, had no eyes. It opened its bloody mouth in confusion, crawling around the ground.

Qi Xianqing took out a few golden spirit stones from her cosmos bag and casually tossed them.

Taotie seemed to sense something, and it quickly ran to the spot where the spirit stones fell, opening its mouth to swallow them.

Qi Xianqing squinted her eyes.

Yan Jue realized Qi Xianqing's intention and hesitated. "Taotie is greedy, but it doesn't eat just anything."
