Chapter 1416 - 54: The Wang Family Made Wedding Clothes for This Demon Monarch_2

Same goes for Purple Lady.

Over the years, to conveniently investigate the movements of Emperor Longchang and Jiang Zhencang, as well as the Wang Family’s activities, they naturally tried various means to bribe some of the Wang Family’s maids, servants, and grassroots employees of various Wang Family industries, constructing their own intelligence network.

Although such means couldn’t uncover any highly confidential matters, they could easily find out trivial matters like where Emperor Longchang was playing mahjong today or whom he argued with the day before yesterday.

Of course, those servants they bribed were actually proactively sent agents affiliated with the Immortal Hall. Such things, they would probably never know.

Jade Lotus Demon Envoy finished confirming information from both sides; her expression had become extremely grave.

She knew that her Master and Blood Child Demon Monarch had been waiting for Jiang Zhencang and Emperor Longchang to leave Longzuo County, and with the strength of the Dragon Whale King, it would certainly be able to keep Emperor Longchang and Jiang Zhencang occupied for a long time.

Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, her Master and the others certainly wouldn’t miss.

"This information is very important; I will immediately notify Master." Jade Lotus Demon Envoy raised her eyes to look at Qing Ji, Purple Lady, and Lady Jade, "You three should also go back and prepare~ once Master and the others act, we must immediately withdraw from Longzuo County."

"Yes, Senior Uncle."

Qing Ji and the three of them stood up to agree, but the expression on their faces showed some hesitation.

Torn again and again, the most impatient Purple Lady couldn’t help but speak: "Senior Uncle, do we really have to retreat? We’ve been lurking for thirty years and have never been exposed; we can actually continue to lurk."

Jade Lotus Demon Envoy glanced at her: "Don’t you understand how strong the Wang Family’s control is over their territory? Over the years, we’ve struggled so hard just to pry open a few mouths and develop a systematic intelligence system, and how many times were we nearly exposed? Don’t you have a clue in your heart? Once the relic is seized, the Wang Family will definitely increase scrutiny. Staying behind is a death wish."

Saying this, she waved her hand: "No more nonsense. Go back and prepare."

"...Yes."

Purple Lady had nothing to say and had to follow behind Qing Ji and Lady Jade to leave.

Seeing the door close again, the sight of the three women completely disappearing, Jade Lotus Demon Envoy finally put down the intelligence, stood up, and walked to the office’s large floor-to-ceiling window.

Actually, she understood why the three of them were hesitating.

Compared to the True Demon Hall where they constantly lived in fear, these past thirty years in Daqian have been the most free and pleasant days of her life.

Here, she didn’t need to worry about suddenly losing her life, nor did she need to worry about being fancied by some Demon Monarch and dragged back to the cave, drained to death. As long as she was willing to work steadily, she could live decently.

If she worked harder than others, she could live better than others; her every effort was never in vain, and every drop of sweat earned its reward.

This sense of stability was something she could never feel when she was in the Demon Dynasty.

So even while mingling daily with low-tier cultivators, she still lived vividly, even feeling proud over the hotel’s expansion and flourishing business, with her sense of achievement soaring.

Sadly, she wasn’t a true Daqian person; such days are ultimately limited.

And now, it’s time to say goodbye.

Overlooking the vibrant lights and bustling crowd beneath her, Jade Lotus Demon Envoy felt a fleeting sense of loss and melancholy, and for once, her face showed a hint of dazedness.

Forget it~ just treat it as a dream~~

When the dream ends, everything is over.

Below, on the streets, traffic flows, and crowds weave, day after day.

No one knows what thoughts once echoed from the window. Nor do they realize that their familiar daily routines might be a beautiful yet fragile illusion to some.

...

Southern Wilderness Ancient Marsh and Celestial County border, an uninhabited mountain valley.

Through a set of small fog and space array, this secluded valley seemed isolated, shielded from irrelevant disturbances.

After all, this is within East Qian Kingdom’s sphere of influence; if things get too noisy, attracting experts could expose their whereabouts and result in being hunted, ruining the entire plan.

The countryside villa of Blood Child Demon Monarch has recently undergone some renovations, now looking refreshed.

Appearing like a child, he stands with hands clasped behind his back, gazing up at the sky, watching the clouds drift and disperse. His expression is less severe and vengeful, more serene and natural.

Meanwhile, a kettle, seemingly held by an invisible hand, hung suspended in the air, twirling around the vegetable garden, watering dry patches.

A flock of plump Red-bellied Golden Finches patrolled the garden, searching for anything edible, including Spirit Melons personally planted by Blood Child Demon Monarch.

Angry and agitated, yet to no avail.

Over time, Blood Child Demon Monarch’s heart has become tranquil.

Suddenly.

A silhouette rapidly descended from the sky, emerging from a blurred shadow into the alluring form of Yin Snake Demoness, her face alight with joy: "Demon Monarch, there’s good news, good news."

Blood Child Demon Monarch continued watering his plants with hands behind his back, not even lifting an eyelid, calmly saying: "Yin Snake Demoness, after all these years, you’re still so flustered with no improvement. How many times have I told you, encounter things with calmness, avoid recklessness."
