The rogue roughly grabbed the celestial fox and pulled her into her mother’s arms, his eyes gleaming with wickedness as he fixated on the pair of mother and daughter, their delicate figures trembling with excitement.
The sound of intense physical collision resumed, the mother and daughter’s similar trembling and screams indeed adding to the pleasure!
Though the rogue was temporarily guarding Gou Yuan, his wild nature refused to be restrained. When a servant from the National Master’s mansion tried to stop him from leaving, the rogue kicked him flying.
“Damn it, go back and tell Gou Yuan: business is business, and she should mind her own damn business!”
His voice echoed in the air as the rogue patted off his clothes and arrogantly strode away, soon arriving at the brightly decorated gates of the Princess’s mansion.
The rogue suddenly grabbed Tianhu and pressed her against her mother, his eyes gleaming with malice as they lingered between the legs of the mother-daughter pair.
The sound of intense physical collision echoed, and the similar trembles and screams of the mother and daughter indeed tasted delightful!
Although the rogue was a temporary bodyguard for Gou Yuan, his wild nature refused to be controlled by others. When someone from the Grand Preceptor’s residence tried to stop him from leaving, he kicked them away.
“Damn it, go back and tell Gou Yuan, the deal is the deal, and she should mind her own business!”
His words hung in the air as he patted his clothes and strode away arrogantly, soon arriving at the brightly decorated princess’s mansion.
Tonight, the princess’s mansion was bustling with activity. Qiao San not only saw the Ghost King and the Turtle King but also various demon kings from the borderlands who had come from afar to celebrate Princess Yushan’s birthday. It seemed Yushan’s determination to deal with Gou Yuan was quite strong.
Guests kept coming, and Yushan smiled like a flower, but she didn’t show any special attention to Qiao San, which made the rogue both relieved and slightly disappointed, feeling rather bored.
The One-Horned Ghost King suddenly appeared, greeting with his usual sly smile, then whispered in a voice only the two could hear, “Master, the Grand Preceptor sent me to keep an eye on you.”
“Heh, heh… old ghost, well done, keep it up!” Qiao San encouraged the loyal but cunning ghost, and before anyone noticed anything unusual, the two naturally separated.
Soon, the mansion became crowded with thousands of demons, and with the sound of firecrackers and the brilliance of fireworks, the birthday banquet officially began.
The demons sat according to their ranks, and only then did Princess Yushan show a warm smile to the rogue, “Brother Bold, I was really afraid you wouldn’t come. Please!”
“Princess, please!” The rogue raised his glass and drank with Yushan, then joked, “I wonder how old the princess is today? Heh, heh…”
Yushan blinked coquettishly, her mature and deep demeanor revealing a bit of liveliness, and she said with a playful tone, “Brother Bold, don’t you know that age is a woman’s biggest secret? Just think of Yushan as forever eighteen! Heh, heh…”
As their laughter rose, the barrier between them finally vanished. Qiao San felt a surge of joy, and the long-held apology in his heart finally burst forth, “Yushan, I borrow your fine wine to apologize to you; once this matter is settled, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation.”
“Enough, if you lose even a single hair, your women would eat me alive! Heh, heh…” Princess Yushan’s words were half-serious, half-joking, and from a distance, the two seemed to be flirting and exchanging meaningful glances.
Just as the banquet reached its climax, the arrival of a demon official abruptly cut off the lively atmosphere.
The newcomer was not some great golden demon, but a small demon official. However, because he was a subordinate of the Grand Preceptor’s residence, he immediately made all the demon generals feel suffocated.
The demon official casually bowed around, then spoke as if to himself, “The Grand Preceptor has emerged from seclusion today and, hearing that the generals have returned to court, has set up a banquet in her residence to welcome them.”
The demon official turned and left with his head held high, his arrogance overwhelming. Yet, Princess Yushan still wore a faint smile, seemingly unbothered by the Grand Preceptor’s domineering attitude.
A moment passed, and none of the demon generals left or raised their glasses to drink. They sat as if on pins and needles, sweating profusely.
The Grand Preceptor and the princess, these two formidable women, neither could be offended, for offending either would result in the same outcome—a terrible death!
Another moment passed, and the mansion remained as if under a spell, the demons looking at each other, secretly hoping someone would take the lead.
As the host, Yushan still didn’t speak, her playful eyes half-open, making the demons who glanced at her even more nervous. At this tense moment, suddenly, a flame shot up into the sky, and a servant’s scream came from the backyard, “Oh no, the firewood shed is on fire!”
“Ah—” The crowd seemed to have received an order, rushing out in unison, their intention to leave so unified that it seemed like heaven’s help.
Yushan’s thin red lips slightly curved, a mysterious smile flowing at the corner of her mouth, her face still showing no expression, allowing the demons to “escape” from her mansion towards the Grand Preceptor’s residence.
The rogue also blended into the crowd, walking leisurely towards the gate. Unexpectedly, while others could leave, he couldn’t. Princess Yushan’s soft, soul-stirring voice hooked and teased in his heart, and the rogue obediently stopped.
“Brother Bold, please come with me for a word.”
Without waiting for Qiao San’s response, Yushan turned and walked straight towards the inner hall.
As Qiao San followed Yushan into the garden, the Ghost King appeared in Gou Yuan’s Grand Preceptor’s residence. Facing the Grand Preceptor, the cunning ghost was not as perfunctory as Qiao San had imagined but reported every move of the rogue and Yushan in detail.
“…Grand Preceptor, that Bold San is still at the princess’s mansion. Should I go and keep an eye on him? After all, he still thinks he controls me.”
The ever-changing Gou Yuan smiled approvingly, calmly saying, “Ghost King, no need. They can’t escape my grasp. By the way, your ghost spirit has been repaired. Here are some pills to increase your demon power. Take them and train well. On the day of the Earth Fire Sacrifice, you’ll have a chance to avenge yourself!”
In the elegant garden of the princess’s mansion, Qiao San and Yushan sat opposite each other under the moonlight, separated by a flower table in the pavilion.
A small wine pot had already been placed on the flower table, making Qiao San realize that his coming here was no coincidence, “Princess, it seems this fire was within your expectations, heh, heh… Is this not some deadly poison wine you’ve set up for me?”
A glint of light flashed in the rogue’s eyes. The opposing stance between them and Yushan’s deep scheming made him extremely wary.
“Heh, heh… Yes, this is the most poisonous wine in the three realms. Brother Bold, dare you drink a cup?”
Yushan chuckled as she poured a cup of fine wine for Qiao San and herself, then smiled and looked at Qiao San, “Would you like to exchange with me?”
“Sure!” The rogue was truly shameless and cowardly, actually picking up Yushan’s cup and drinking it all in one go.
“Mmm, good wine!” Qiao San laughed freely, and before Yushan could react, he drank the other cup as well.
Guests continued to arrive, and Yu Shan smiled radiantly. However, she did not show any special attention to Qiao San, which both relieved and vaguely disappointed the rogue, making him feel rather bored.
The One-Horned Ghost King suddenly appeared from somewhere, chuckling slyly before leaning in and whispering, “Master, the National Master sent me to spy on you.”
“Heh, heh… Good job, old ghost. Keep it up!” Qiao San encouraged the loyal yet sinister ghost with a few words, and then the two naturally dispersed before others noticed anything unusual.
The rogue swiftly grabbed the Heavenly Fox and pressed her against her mother, his eyes gleaming with malice as they lingered between the delicate flowers of the mother and daughter.
The sound of more intense physical collisions echoed, and the similar trembles and screams of the mother and daughter indeed tasted exquisite!
Although the rogue was a temporary guard for Gou Yuan, his wild nature refused to be controlled by others. When someone from the Grand Master’s residence tried to stop him from leaving, the rogue kicked them away.
“Damn it, go back and tell Gou Yuan, the deal is the deal, and she should mind her own business!”
His words hung in the air as the rogue patted his clothes and strode away arrogantly, soon arriving at the brightly decorated princess’s residence.
Tonight, the princess’s residence was bustling with activity. Qiao San not only saw the Ghost King and the Turtle King but also various demon kings from the borderlands who had come from afar to celebrate Princess Yu Shan’s birthday. It seemed that Yu Shan’s determination to deal with Gou Yuan was indeed strong.
Guests kept pouring in, and Yu Shan smiled like a flower, but she made no special move towards Qiao San, which both relieved and slightly disappointed the rogue, making him feel rather bored.
The One-Horned Ghost King suddenly appeared from nowhere, greeting with his usual sly smile, and then whispered in a voice only the two could hear, “Master, the Grand Master has ordered me to keep an eye on you.”
“Heh, heh… Old ghost, you’re doing well, keep it up!” Qiao San encouraged the loyal but deceitful ghost, and before anyone noticed anything unusual, the two naturally separated.
Before long, the residence became crowded with thousands of demonic figures, and with the sound of fireworks, the birthday feast officially began.
The demons sat according to their ranks, and only then did Princess Yu Shan show a warm smile to the rogue, “Brother Bold, I was really afraid you wouldn’t come. Please!”
“Princess, please!” The rogue raised his glass and drank with Yu Shan, then joked, “May I ask how old the princess is today? Heh, heh…”
Yu Shan blinked coquettishly, her mature and profound demeanor revealing a hint of liveliness, and she said with a playful scold, “Brother Bold, don’t you know that age is a woman’s biggest secret? Just think of Yu Shan as forever eighteen! Heh, heh…”
As their laughter rose, the barrier between them finally vanished. Qiao San felt a surge of joy, and the long-suppressed guilt in his heart finally burst forth. He raised his glass and said solemnly, “Yu Shan, I borrow your fine wine to apologize to you. Once this matter is settled, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation.”
“Come on, if you lose even a single hair, your women would devour me! Heh, heh…” Princess Yu Shan’s words were half-serious, half-joking, and from a distance, the two seemed to be flirting and exchanging meaningful glances.
Just as the feast reached its climax, the arrival of a demon official abruptly cut off the lively atmosphere.
The newcomer was not some golden demon or giant monster, but a mere demon official. However, being a subordinate of the Grand Master’s residence, he immediately overwhelmed the various demon generals.
The demon official calmly bowed around and then spoke as if to himself, “The Grand Master has emerged from seclusion today and, hearing that the generals have returned to the court, has set up a feast in her residence to welcome them.”
The demon official turned and left with an air of arrogance that was almost insulting, but Princess Yu Shan still wore a faint smile, seemingly unbothered by the Grand Master’s domineering attitude.
A moment passed, and the demon generals neither left nor raised their glasses to drink, each sitting on pins and needles, sweating profusely.
The Grand Master and the princess, these two formidable women, neither could be offended, and offending either would result in the same outcome—a terrible death!
Another moment passed, and the residence remained as if under a spell, the demons looking at each other, each secretly hoping someone would take the lead.
As the host, Yu Shan still did not speak, her playful eyes half-open, making the demons who glanced at her even more anxious. At this moment of stalemate, suddenly, a flame shot up into the sky, and a servant’s scream came from the backyard, “Oh no, the firewood shed is on fire!”
“Ah—” The crowd seemed to have received an order, rushing out in unison, the intention to leave so unified that it seemed like heaven’s help.
Yu Shan’s thin red lips slightly curved, a mysterious smile flowing at the corner of her mouth, her face still showing no expression, allowing the demons to “escape” from her residence and flee towards the Grand Master’s residence.
The rogue also blended into the crowd, walking unhurriedly towards the gate, but unlike others, he couldn’t leave. Princess Yu Shan’s soft, soul-stirring voice hooked and teased in his heart, and the rogue immediately stopped obediently.
“Brother Bold, please step aside for a word.”
Without waiting for Qiao San’s consent, Yu Shan turned and walked straight towards the inner hall.
As Qiao San followed Yu Shan into the garden, the Ghost King appeared in Gou Yuan’s Grand Master’s residence. Facing the Grand Master, the deceitful ghost was not as perfunctory as Qiao San had imagined but reported every move of the rogue and Yu Shan in detail.
“…Grand Master, that Bold San is still at the princess’s residence. Should I go and keep an eye on him? After all, he still thinks he controls me.”
The ever-changing Gou Yuan smiled approvingly and said calmly, “Ghost King, no need. They can’t escape my grasp. By the way, your ghost essence has been repaired. Here are some pills to increase your demonic power. Take them and cultivate well. On the day of the Earth Fire Sacrifice, you’ll have a chance to avenge yourself!”
In the elegant garden of the princess’s residence, Qiao San and Yu Shan sat opposite each other under the moonlight, separated by a flower table in the pavilion.
A small wine pot had already been placed on the flower table, making Qiao San realize that his coming here was no coincidence, “Princess, it seems this fire was within your expectations, heh, heh… This isn’t some deadly wine you’ve set up for me, is it?”
A glint of light flashed in the rogue’s eyes. The opposing stance between them and Yu Shan’s deep scheming made him highly vigilant.
“Heh, heh… Yes, this is the most poisonous wine in the three realms. Brother Bold, dare you drink a cup?”
Yu Shan chuckled as she poured a cup of fine wine for Qiao San and herself, then smiled and looked at Qiao San, “Would you like to exchange with me?”
“Sure!” The rogue was indeed shameless and cowardly, actually picking up Yu Shan’s cup and drinking it all in one go.
“Hmm, good wine!” Qiao San laughed freely, and before Yu Shan could react, he drank the other cup as well.
The rogue swiftly grabbed Tianhu and pressed her against her mother, his eyes gleaming with malice as they lingered between the two women.
The sound of intense physical collision echoed, and the similar trembles and screams of the mother and daughter indeed offered a delightful sensation!
Though the rogue was a temporary guard for Gouyuan, his wild nature refused to be controlled by anyone. When the envoy from the State Preceptor’s residence tried to stop him from leaving, the rogue kicked him away.
“Damn it, go back and tell Gouyuan that the deal is the deal, and she should mind her own business!”
His words hung in the air as the rogue patted his clothes and strode away arrogantly, soon arriving at the brightly decorated princess’s residence.
Tonight, the princess’s residence was bustling with activity. Qiao San not only saw the Ghost King and the Turtle King but also various demon kings from the borderlands who had come from afar to celebrate Princess Yushan’s birthday. It seemed that Yushan’s resolve to deal with Gouyuan was indeed strong.
Guests kept pouring in, and Yushan smiled like a flower. However, she did not show any special attention to Qiao San, which both relieved and slightly disappointed the rogue, making him feel rather bored.
The One-Horned Ghost King suddenly appeared, as usual, with a sly smile and exchanged a few greetings. Then, in a voice only audible to the two of them, he said, “Master, the State Preceptor has ordered me to keep an eye on you.”
“Heh, heh… old ghost, you’re doing well, keep it up!” Qiao San encouraged the loyal but cunning ghost with a few words, and before anyone noticed anything unusual, the two naturally separated.
Not long after, the princess’s residence became crowded with thousands of demon figures. Fireworks lit up the sky, and the birthday feast officially began.
The demons sat according to their ranks, and only then did Princess Yushan show a warm smile to the rogue, “Brother Bold, I was really afraid you wouldn’t come. Please!”
“Princess, please!” The rogue raised his glass and drank with Yushan, then joked, “I wonder how old the princess is today? Heh, heh…”

He raised his glass and said solemnly, “Yushan, I borrow your fine wine to apologize to you. Once this matter is settled, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation.”
“Come on, if you lose even a single hair, your women would devour me! Heh, heh…” Princess Yushan’s words were half-serious, half-joking, and from a distance, the two seemed to be flirting and exchanging affectionate glances.
Just as the feast reached its climax, the arrival of a demon official abruptly cut off the lively atmosphere in the princess’s residence.
The newcomer was not some golden demon or giant monster but a mere demon official. However, because he was a subordinate of the State Preceptor’s residence, he immediately overwhelmed the various demon generals.
The demon official calmly bowed to the surroundings and then spoke as if to himself, “The State Preceptor has emerged from seclusion today. Hearing that the generals have returned to the court, she has prepared a feast in her residence to welcome them.”

A moment passed, and the demon generals neither left nor raised their glasses to drink. They sat on pins and needles, sweating profusely.
The State Preceptor and the princess, these two formidable women, could not be offended. Offending either would result in only one outcome—a miserable death!
Another moment passed, and the princess’s residence remained as if under a spell. The demons looked at each other, secretly hoping someone would take the lead.
As the host, Yushan still did not speak, her half-open, half-closed eyes filled with amusement, making the demons who stole glances at her even more anxious. Just as the stalemate continued, a sudden burst of flames shot into the sky, and the servants’ screams came from the backyard, “Oh no, the firewood shed is on fire!”
“Ah—” The crowd seemed to have received an order and rushed out in unison, their intention to leave so unified that it seemed like heaven’s help.
Yushan’s thin red lips curved slightly, a mysterious smile flowing across her lips. Her face still showed no expression as she allowed the demons to “escape” from her residence and head towards the State Preceptor’s residence.
The rogue also blended into the crowd, walking unhurriedly towards the gate. However, while others could leave, he could not. Princess Yushan’s soft, soul-stealing voice lingered in his heart, and the rogue obediently stopped.
“Brother Bold, please come with me for a moment.”
Without waiting for Qiao San’s response, Yushan turned and walked straight towards the inner hall.
As Qiao San followed Yushan into the garden, the Ghost King appeared in Gouyuan’s State Preceptor’s residence. Facing the State Preceptor, the cunning ghost was not as perfunctory as Qiao San had imagined but reported every move of the rogue and Yushan in detail.
“…State Preceptor, that Bold San is still in the princess’s residence. Should I go and keep an eye on him? After all, he still thinks he controls me.”
The ever-changing Gouyuan smiled approvingly and said calmly, “Ghost King, no need. I doubt they can escape my grasp. By the way, your ghost soul has been repaired. Here are some pills to increase your demon power. Take them and train well. On the day of the Earth Fire Sacrifice, you will have a chance to avenge yourself!”
In the elegant garden of the princess’s residence, Qiao San and Yushan sat opposite each other under the moonlight, separated by a flower table in the pavilion.
A small wine jug had already been placed on the flower table, making Qiao San realize that his presence here was no coincidence. “Princess, it seems this fire was within your expectations, heh, heh… Is this not the soul-severing wine you’ve prepared for me?”
A glint of sharpness flashed in the rogue’s eyes. The adversarial stance between them and Yushan’s deep scheming made him highly vigilant.
“Heh, heh… Yes, this is the most poisonous wine in the three realms. Brother Bold, dare you drink a cup?”
Yushan chuckled as she poured a cup of fine wine for Qiao San and herself, then looked at him with a smile, “Would you like to exchange with me?”
“Sure!” The rogue was indeed shameless and cowardly, actually picking up Yushan’s cup and drinking it all.
“Mmm, good wine!” Qiao San laughed freely and, before Yushan could react, drank the other cup as well.
“Princess, please!” The rogue raised his wine cup with Yu Shan and drank together, then joked, “By the way, Princess, how old are you today? Heh, heh…”
Yu Shan winked flirtatiously, her mature and deep demeanor tinged with liveliness, playfully scolding, “Brother Da Dan, don’t you know a woman’s age is her biggest secret? Just think of me as forever eighteen. Hehehe…”
As laughter filled the air, the tension between them finally dissipated. Qiao San’s heart lightened, and the long-held guilt surged forth. He raised his cup solemnly and said, “Yu Shan, with this cup of your fine wine, I apologize. Once this matter is settled, I will do anything for you, no matter how dangerous.”
“Oh, please! If even a single hair of yours is missing, your harem will devour me alive! Hehehe…” Princess Yu Shan teased with a seductive glance. From afar, the two seemed genuinely flirting and exchanging glances.
Just as the banquet reached its peak, suddenly an official’s arrival cut through the Princess’s mansion like a knife.
The rogue swiftly grabbed the Heavenly Fox and placed her over her mother, his eyes gleaming with wickedness as they lingered between the delicate flowers of the mother and daughter.
The sound of more intense physical collisions echoed, and the similar trembles and screams of the mother and daughter indeed tasted delightful!
Although the rogue was a temporary guard for Gou Yuan, his wild nature refused to be controlled by others. When someone from the State Preceptor’s residence tried to stop him from leaving, the rogue kicked them away.
“Damn it, go back and tell Gou Yuan, the deal is the deal, but she should mind her own business!”
His words lingered in the air as the rogue patted his clothes and strode away proudly, soon arriving at the brightly lit princess’s residence.
Tonight, the princess’s residence was bustling with activity. Qiao San not only saw the Ghost King and the Turtle King but also various demon kings from the borderlands who had come from afar to celebrate Princess Yu Shan’s birthday. It seemed Yu Shan’s resolve against Gou Yuan was indeed strong.
Guests kept coming, and Yu Shan smiled like a flower, but she didn’t show any special attention to Qiao San, which both relieved and slightly disappointed the rogue, making him feel rather bored.
The Unicorn Ghost King suddenly appeared, as usual, with a sly smile and a few words of greeting, then whispered in a tone only the two could hear, “Master, the State Preceptor has sent me to monitor you.”
“Heh, heh… old ghost, you’re doing well, keep it up!” Qiao San encouraged the loyal, deceitful ghost with a few words, and before anyone noticed anything unusual, the two naturally separated.
Soon, thousands of demonic figures made the princess’s residence feel cramped. Fireworks lit up the sky, and the birthday feast officially began.
The demons sat according to their ranks, and only then did Princess Yu Shan show a warm smile to the rogue, “Brother Bold, I was really afraid you wouldn’t come. Please!”
“Princess, please!” The rogue raised his glass and drank with Yu Shan, then joked, “I wonder how old the princess is today? Heh, heh…”
Yu Shan blinked coquettishly, her mature depth revealing a hint of liveliness, and she said with a playful scold, “Brother Bold, don’t you know that age is a woman’s biggest secret? Just think of Yu Shan as forever eighteen! Hee, hee…”
As their laughter rose, the barrier between them finally vanished. Qiao San felt a surge of joy, and the long-held apology in his heart finally burst forth. He raised his glass and said solemnly, “Yu Shan, I borrow your fine wine to apologize to you. Once this matter is settled, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation.”
“Enough! If you lose even a single hair, the women in your family would devour me! Hee, hee…” Princess Yu Shan’s words were half-serious, half-joking, and from afar, the two seemed to be flirting and exchanging meaningful glances.
Just as the feast reached its climax, the arrival of a demon official abruptly cut off the lively atmosphere of the princess’s residence.

“Whoosh—” The crowd seemed to have received an order, rushing out in unison, their intent to leave so unified that it seemed like heaven’s help.
Yu Shan’s thin red lips curled slightly, a mysterious smile flowing at the corner of her mouth. Her face still showed no expression, allowing the demons to “escape” from her residence and flee towards the State Preceptor’s residence.
The rogue also blended into the crowd, walking unhurriedly towards the gate. Unexpectedly, while others could leave, he couldn’t. Princess Yu Shan’s soft, soul-stirring voice hooked and teased in his heart, and the rogue obediently stopped.
“Brother Bold, please step aside for a word.”
Without waiting for Qiao San’s response, Yu Shan turned and walked straight towards the inner hall.
As Qiao San followed Yu Shan into the garden, the Ghost King appeared in Gou Yuan’s State Preceptor’s residence. Facing the State Preceptor, the deceitful ghost was not as perfunctory as Qiao San had imagined but reported every move of the rogue and Yu Shan in detail.
“…State Preceptor, that Bold Three is still in the princess’s residence. Should I go and monitor him? After all, he still thinks he controls me.”
The ever-changing Gou Yuan smiled approvingly and said calmly, “Ghost King, no need. They can’t escape my grasp. By the way, your ghost soul has been repaired. Here are some pills to increase your demonic power. Take them and train well. On the day of the Earth Fire Sacrifice, you’ll have a chance to avenge yourself!”
In the elegant garden of the princess’s residence, Qiao San and Yu Shan sat opposite each other under the moonlight, separated by a flower table in the pavilion.

A glint of sharpness flashed in the rogue’s eyes. Their opposing positions and Yu Shan’s deep scheming made him highly vigilant.
“Hee, hee… Yes, this is the most poisonous wine in the three realms. Brother Bold, dare you drink a cup?”
Yu Shan chuckled as she poured a cup of fine wine for Qiao San and herself, then smiled and looked at Qiao San, “Would you like to exchange with me?”
“Sure!” The rogue was indeed shameless and cowardly, actually picking up Yu Shan’s cup and drinking it all.
“Mmm, good wine!” Qiao San laughed freely, and before Yu Shan could react, he drank the other cup as well.
The official casually bowed to everyone and then spoke as if to himself, “The National Master has just emerged today and, upon hearing that all the generals have returned to the capital, specially arranged a banquet at his mansion to welcome you all.”
The official turned and left with his head held high, his arrogance reaching an unbearable level. However, Princess Yu Shan still smiled faintly, seemingly unbothered by the National Master’s overbearing manner.
The rogue swiftly grabbed Tianhu and placed her on top of her mother, his eyes gleaming with malice as they lingered between the two women.
The sound of intense physical collision echoed, and the similar trembles and screams of the mother and daughter were indeed delightful!
Although the rogue was a temporary guard for Gouyuan, his wild nature refused to be controlled. When someone from the State Preceptor’s residence tried to stop him from leaving, he kicked them away.
“Damn it, go back and tell Gouyuan, the deal is the deal, but she should mind her own business!”
His words hung in the air as he patted his clothes and strode away proudly, soon arriving at the brightly decorated princess’s residence.
Tonight, the princess’s residence was bustling with activity. Qiao San not only saw the Ghost King and the Turtle King, but also various demon kings from the borderlands who had come from afar to celebrate Princess Yushan’s birthday. It seemed Yushan’s determination to deal with Gouyuan was strong.
Guests kept coming, and Yushan smiled like a flower, but she made no special move towards Qiao San, which both relieved and slightly disappointed him, making him feel rather bored.
The Unicorn Ghost King suddenly appeared, greeting him with a sly smile as usual, then whispered in a voice only the two could hear, “Master, the State Preceptor has sent me to monitor you.”
“Heh, heh… Old ghost, you’re doing well, keep it up!” Qiao San encouraged the loyal but cunning ghost, and before anyone noticed anything unusual, the two naturally separated.
Soon, the residence became crowded with hundreds of demon figures, and with the sound of fireworks, the birthday feast officially began.
The demons sat according to their ranks, and only then did Princess Yushan give Qiao San a warm smile, “Brother Daring, I was really afraid you wouldn’t come. Please!”
“Princess, please!” Qiao San raised his glass and drank with Yushan, then joked, “I wonder how old the princess is today? Heh, heh…”
Yushan blinked coquettishly, her mature and deep eyes revealing a hint of liveliness, “Brother Daring, don’t you know that age is a woman’s biggest secret? Just think of me as forever eighteen! Hee, hee…”
Their laughter broke the ice between them, and Qiao San’s long-held apology finally burst forth, “Yushan, I offer you this cup of wine as an apology. Once this matter is settled, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation.”
“Come on, if you lose even a single hair, your women would eat me alive! Hee, hee…” Princess Yushan’s words were half-serious, half-joking, and from a distance, they seemed to be flirting and exchanging meaningful glances.
Just as the feast reached its climax, the arrival of a demon official abruptly cut off the lively atmosphere.
The newcomer was not some powerful demon, but a minor official from the State Preceptor’s residence, yet his presence immediately stifled the various demon generals.
The demon official calmly bowed to the surroundings, then spoke as if to himself, “The State Preceptor has emerged from seclusion today and, hearing that the generals have returned, has prepared a feast in her residence to welcome them.”
The demon official turned and left with an air of arrogance, but Princess Yushan still wore a faint smile, seemingly unbothered by the State Preceptor’s domineering attitude.
A moment passed, and the demon generals neither left nor drank, sitting as if on pins and needles, sweating profusely.
The State Preceptor and the Princess, these two formidable women, neither could be offended, for offending either would result in a terrible death!
Another moment passed, and the residence remained as if under a spell, the demons looking at each other, each secretly hoping someone would take the lead.
As the host, Yushan still did not speak, her half-closed eyes making the demons who glanced at her even more nervous. In this tense moment, a sudden flame shot up from the backyard, accompanied by the servants’ screams, “Oh no, the firewood shed is on fire!”
“Ah—” The crowd seemed to receive a signal, rushing out in unison, their intent to leave so unified that it seemed like heaven’s help.
Yushan’s thin red lips curled slightly, a mysterious smile passing over them, her face still showing no expression as she let the demons “escape” from her residence towards the State Preceptor’s residence.
Qiao San also blended into the crowd, walking leisurely towards the gate, but unlike the others, he couldn’t leave. Princess Yushan’s soft, haunting voice hooked and teased in his heart, and he obediently stopped.
“Brother Daring, please come with me for a moment.”
Without waiting for Qiao San’s response, Yushan turned and walked towards the inner hall.
As Qiao San followed Yushan into the garden, the Ghost King appeared in Gouyuan’s State Preceptor’s residence, reporting every move of Qiao San and Yushan in detail to the State Preceptor.
“…State Preceptor, that Daring San is still in the princess’s residence. Should I go and monitor him? After all, he still thinks he controls me.”
The ever-changing Gouyuan smiled approvingly, calmly saying, “Ghost King, no need. They can’t escape my grasp. By the way, your ghost essence has been repaired. Here are some pills to increase your demon power. Take them and train well. On the day of the Earth Fire Sacrifice, you’ll have a chance to avenge yourself!”
In the elegant garden of the princess’s residence, Qiao San and Yushan sat across from each other at a flower table under the moonlight.
A small wine jug had already been placed on the table, making Qiao San realize that his presence here was no coincidence, “Princess, it seems this fire was within your expectations, heh, heh… This isn’t some deadly poison wine you’ve prepared for me, is it?”
A flash of sharp light passed through Qiao San’s eyes, the opposing stance between them and Yushan’s deep scheming making him highly vigilant.
“Hee, hee… Yes, this is the most poisonous wine in the three realms. Brother Daring, dare you drink a cup?”
Yushan chuckled as she poured a cup of fine wine for Qiao San and herself, then smiled at him, “Would you like to exchange cups with me?”
“Sure!” Qiao San, truly shameless and cowardly, actually picked up Yushan’s cup and drank it all.
“Mmm, good wine!” Qiao San laughed freely, drinking the other cup before Yushan could.
The National Master and the Princess—two terrifying women—neither could be offended, for offending either would lead to only one outcome: a terrible fate!
The rogue swiftly grabbed the Heavenly Fox and pressed her against her mother, his eyes gleaming with wickedness as his gaze lingered between the two women.
The sound of intense physical collision echoed, and the similar trembles and screams of the mother and daughter were indeed delightful!
Although the rogue was a temporary guard for Gou Yuan, his wild nature refused to be controlled. When someone from the Grand Preceptor’s residence tried to stop him from leaving, he kicked them away.
“Damn it, go back and tell Gou Yuan that the deal is the deal, and she should mind her own business!”
His words hung in the air as he patted his clothes and strode away arrogantly, soon arriving at the brightly decorated princess’s residence.
Tonight, the princess’s residence was bustling with activity. Qiao San not only saw the Ghost King and the Turtle King but also various demon kings from the borderlands who had come from afar to celebrate Princess Yu Shan’s birthday. It seemed Yu Shan’s resolve to deal with Gou Yuan was indeed strong.
Guests kept pouring in, and Yu Shan smiled like a flower, but she made no special move towards Qiao San, which both relieved and slightly disappointed the rogue, making him feel rather bored.
The One-Horned Ghost King suddenly appeared, as usual, with a sly smile and a few words of greeting, then whispered in a voice only the two could hear, “Master, the Grand Preceptor has sent me to keep an eye on you.”
“Heh, heh… Old ghost, you’re doing well, keep it up!” Qiao San encouraged the loyal but cunning ghost, and before anyone noticed anything unusual, the two naturally separated.
Soon, the princess’s residence became crowded with thousands of demon figures. Fireworks lit up the sky, and the birthday feast officially began.
The demons sat according to their ranks, and only then did Princess Yu Shan give the rogue a warm smile, “Brother Bold, I was really afraid you wouldn’t come. Please!”
“Princess, please!” The rogue raised his glass and drank with Yu Shan, then joked, “I wonder how old the princess is today? Heh, heh…”
Yu Shan blinked coquettishly, her mature and deep eyes revealing a hint of liveliness, and she said with a playful scold, “Brother Bold, don’t you know that age is a woman’s biggest secret? Just think of me as forever eighteen! Hee, hee…”
Their laughter broke the ice between them, and Qiao San’s long-held guilt finally burst forth. He raised his glass and said solemnly, “Yu Shan, I borrow your fine wine to apologize to you. Once this matter is settled, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation.”
“Come on, if you lose even a single hair, your women would devour me! Hee, hee…” Princess Yu Shan’s words were half-serious, half-joking, and from afar, it looked like they were flirting and exchanging meaningful glances.
Just as the feast reached its climax, the arrival of a demon official abruptly cut off the lively atmosphere.
The newcomer was not some golden demon or giant monster but a small demon official. However, because he was a subordinate of the Grand Preceptor’s residence, he immediately put pressure on all the demon generals.
The demon official calmly bowed around and then spoke as if to himself, “The Grand Preceptor has emerged from seclusion today and, hearing that the generals have returned to the court, has set a feast in her residence to welcome them.”
The demon official turned and left with an arrogance that was almost insulting, but Princess Yu Shan still wore a faint smile, seemingly unbothered by the Grand Preceptor’s overbearing manner.
A moment passed, and none of the demon generals dared to leave or raise their glasses. They sat on pins and needles, sweating profusely.
The Grand Preceptor and the princess—these two formidable women—could not be offended. Offending either would result in a terrible death!
Another moment passed, and the princess’s residence remained as if under a spell. The demons looked at each other, secretly hoping someone would take the lead.
As the host, Yu Shan still did not speak, her half-open, half-closed eyes making the demons who glanced at her even more nervous. At this tense moment, a sudden flame shot up into the sky, and a servant’s scream came from the backyard, “Oh no, the firewood shed is on fire!”
“Ah—” The crowd seemed to have received an order and rushed out in unison, their intention to leave so unified that it seemed like heaven was helping them.
Yu Shan’s thin red lips curled slightly, and a mysterious smile passed over her face. She still made no move, allowing the demons to “escape” from her residence and head towards the Grand Preceptor’s residence.
The rogue also blended into the crowd, walking unhurriedly towards the gate. However, while others could leave, he could not. Princess Yu Shan’s soft, haunting voice tugged at his heart, and he obediently stopped.
“Brother Bold, please come with me for a moment.”
Without waiting for Qiao San’s response, Yu Shan turned and walked towards the inner hall.
As Qiao San followed Yu Shan into the garden, the Ghost King appeared in Gou Yuan’s residence. Facing the Grand Preceptor, the cunning ghost was not as perfunctory as Qiao San had imagined but reported every move of the rogue and Yu Shan in detail.
“…Grand Preceptor, that Bold Three is still at the princess’s residence. Should I go and keep an eye on him? After all, he still thinks he controls me.”
The ever-changing Gou Yuan smiled approvingly and said calmly, “Ghost King, no need. They can’t escape my grasp. By the way, your ghost spirit has been fully repaired. Here are some pills to increase your demonic power. Take them and train well. On the day of the Earth Fire Sacrifice, you’ll have a chance to avenge yourself!”
In the elegant garden of the princess’s residence, Qiao San and Yu Shan sat opposite each other under the moonlight, separated by a flower table in the pavilion.
A small wine pot had already been placed on the table, making Qiao San realize that his presence here was no coincidence. “Princess, it seems this fire was within your expectations, heh, heh… This isn’t some deadly poison you’ve prepared for me, is it?”
A glint of sharpness flashed in the rogue’s eyes. The adversarial stance between them and Yu Shan’s deep scheming made him highly vigilant.
“Hee, hee… Yes, this is the most poisonous wine in the three realms. Brother Bold, dare you drink a cup?”
Yu Shan chuckled as she poured a cup of fine wine for Qiao San and herself, then smiled and looked at him, “Would you like to exchange with me?”
“Sure!” The rogue was indeed shameless and cowardly, actually picking up Yu Shan’s cup and drinking it all.
“Mmm, good wine!” Qiao San laughed freely and, before Yu Shan could react, drank the other cup as well.
The rogue swiftly grabbed Tianhu and pressed her against her mother, his eyes gleaming with malice as they lingered between the delicate flowers of the mother and daughter.
The sound of intense physical collision echoed, and the similar trembles and screams of the mother and daughter were indeed a delightful sensation!
Although the rogue was a temporary guard for Gouyuan, his wild nature refused to be controlled by others. When someone from the National Preceptor’s residence tried to stop him from leaving, the rogue kicked them away.
“Damn it, go back and tell Gouyuan that the deal is the deal, and she should mind her own business!”
His words lingered in the air as the rogue patted his clothes and strode away proudly, soon arriving at the brightly decorated Princess’s residence.
Tonight, the Princess’s residence was bustling with activity. Qiao San not only saw the Ghost King and the Turtle King, but also various demon kings from the borderlands who had come from afar to celebrate Princess Yushan’s birthday. It seemed that Yushan’s determination to deal with Gouyuan was truly strong.

The One-Horned Ghost King suddenly appeared, as usual, with a sly smile and a few greetings, then whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Master, the National Preceptor has sent me to monitor you.”
“Heh, heh… old ghost, you’re doing well, keep it up!” Qiao San encouraged the loyal yet deceitful ghost with a few words, and before anyone noticed anything unusual, the two naturally separated.
Not long after, the residence became crowded with thousands of demon shadows, and with the sound of celebratory cannons and the brilliance of fireworks, the birthday feast officially began.
The demons sat according to their ranks, and only then did Princess Yushan show a warm smile to the rogue, “Brother Datan, I was really afraid you wouldn’t come, please!”
“Princess, please!” The rogue raised his glass and drank with Yushan, then joked, “I wonder how old the Princess is today? Heh, heh…”
Yushan blinked coquettishly, her mature depth revealing a hint of liveliness, and said with a playful scold, “Brother Datan, don’t you know that age is a woman’s biggest secret? Just think of Yushan as forever eighteen! Heh, heh…”
As their laughter mingled, the barrier between them finally vanished. Qiao San’s heart was filled with joy, and the long-held apology in his heart finally burst forth as he raised his glass and said, “Yushan, I borrow your fine wine to apologize to you; once this matter is settled, I will surely go through fire and water for you without hesitation.”
“Enough, if you lose even a single hair, your women would devour me! Heh, heh…” Princess Yushan’s words were half-serious, half-joking, and from a distance, the two seemed to be flirting and exchanging meaningful glances.
Just as the feast reached its climax, the arrival of a demon official abruptly cut off the lively atmosphere at the Princess’s residence.

The National Preceptor and the Princess, these two formidable women, neither could be offended, and offending either would result in the same outcome—a terrible death!
Another moment passed, and the residence still seemed under a spell, the demons looking at each other, each secretly hoping someone would take the lead.
As the host, Yushan still did not speak, her half-open, half-closed eyes filled with amusement, making the demons who stole glances at her even more anxious; just as the stalemate continued, suddenly, a flame shot up into the sky, and a servant’s scream came from the backyard, “Oh no, the woodshed is on fire—”
“Ah—” The crowd seemed to have received an order, rushing out in unison, their intention to leave so unified that it seemed like heaven was helping them.
Yushan’s thin red lips curled slightly, a mysterious smile passing over them, her face still showing no expression, allowing the demons to “escape” from her residence and flee towards the National Preceptor’s residence.
The rogue also mingled with the demons, walking unhurriedly towards the gate, but while others could leave, he could not. Princess Yushan’s soft, soul-stirring voice hooked and teased in his heart, and the rogue obediently stopped.
“Brother Datan, please step aside for a word.”
Without waiting for Qiao San’s consent, Yushan turned and walked straight towards the inner hall.
As Qiao San followed Yushan into the garden, the Ghost King appeared in Gouyuan’s National Preceptor’s residence, and facing the National Preceptor, the deceitful ghost was not as perfunctory as Qiao San had imagined, but reported every move of the rogue and Yushan in detail.
“…National Preceptor, that Datan San is still at the Princess’s residence, should I go and monitor him? After all, he still thinks he controls me.”
The ever-changing Gouyuan smiled approvingly and said calmly, “Ghost King, no need, I doubt they can escape my grasp. By the way, your ghost soul has been repaired, here are some pills to increase your demon power, take them and train well, on the day of the Earth Fire Sacrifice, you will have a chance to avenge yourself!”
In the elegant garden of the Princess’s residence, Qiao San and Yushan sat opposite each other under the moonlight, separated by a flower table in the pavilion.
A small wine jug had already been placed on the flower table, making Qiao San realize that his arrival here was no coincidence, “Princess, it seems this fire was within your expectations, heh, heh… is this not the soul-severing wine you’ve set up for me?”
A flash of sharp light passed through the rogue’s eyes, the adversarial stance between them and Yushan’s deep scheming all made him highly alert.
“Heh, heh… indeed, this is the most poisonous wine in the three realms, Brother Datan, dare you drink a cup?”
Yushan chuckled as she poured a cup of fine wine for Qiao San and herself, then smiled and looked at Qiao San, “Would you like to exchange with me?”
“Sure!” The rogue was truly shameless and cowardly, actually picking up Yushan’s cup and drinking it all in one go.
“Mmm, good wine!” Qiao San laughed freely, and before Yushan could react, he drank the other cup as well.
In an instant, the crowd seemed to receive a signal, rushing out together, unified in their desire to leave—an opportunity truly sent from heaven.
The rogue swiftly grabbed Tianhu and placed her atop her mother, his eyes gleaming with malice as they lingered between the delicate petals of the mother-daughter pair.
The sound of intense physical collision echoed, and the similar trembles and screams of the mother and daughter indeed offered a delightful sensation!
Though the rogue was a temporary guard for Gouyuan, his wild nature refused to be tamed. When someone from the State Preceptor’s residence tried to stop him from leaving, he kicked them away without hesitation.
“Damn it, go back and tell Gouyuan, the deal is the deal, but she should mind her own business!”
His words hung in the air as he dusted off his clothes and strode away proudly, soon arriving at the brightly decorated princess’s mansion.
Tonight, the princess’s mansion was bustling with activity. Qiao San not only saw the Ghost King and the Turtle King but also various demon kings from the borderlands who had traveled from afar to celebrate Princess Yushan’s birthday. It seemed Yushan’s resolve to deal with Gouyuan was indeed strong.
Guests kept pouring in, and Yushan smiled like a blooming flower. However, she made no special gestures towards Qiao San, which both relieved and slightly disappointed the rogue, leaving him feeling rather bored.
The Unicorn Ghost King appeared out of nowhere, greeting with his usual sly smile, then whispered in a voice only the two could hear, “Master, the State Preceptor has sent me to keep an eye on you.”
“Heh, heh… Old ghost, you’re doing well, keep it up!” Qiao San encouraged the loyal but cunning ghost with a few words, then naturally separated from him before anyone noticed anything unusual.
Not long after, the mansion became crowded with thousands of demonic figures. Fireworks lit up the sky, and the birthday banquet officially began.
The demons sat according to their ranks, and only then did Princess Yushan offer a warm smile to the rogue, “Brother Daring, I was truly afraid you wouldn’t come. Please!”
“Princess, please!” The rogue raised his glass and drank with Yushan, then joked, “May I ask how old the princess is today? Heh, heh…”
Yushan blinked coquettishly, her mature depth tinged with a hint of playfulness, and chided, “Brother Daring, don’t you know a woman’s age is her greatest secret? Just think of me as forever eighteen! Hee, hee…”
Their laughter broke the ice between them, and Qiao San’s long-held guilt finally burst forth. He raised his glass solemnly, “Yushan, I borrow your fine wine to apologize. Once this matter is settled, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation.”
“Enough, if you lose even a single hair, your women would devour me! Hee, hee…” Princess Yushan’s words were half-serious, half-teasing, and from a distance, they seemed to be flirting and exchanging affectionate glances.
Just as the banquet reached its peak, the arrival of a demon official abruptly cut off the lively atmosphere.
The newcomer was no golden demon or giant monster, just a minor official from the State Preceptor’s residence, but his presence immediately suffocated the various demon generals.
The demon official gave a casual bow to the surroundings, then spoke as if to himself, “The State Preceptor has emerged from seclusion today and, hearing of the generals’ return, has prepared a banquet in her residence to welcome you.”
With his head held high, the demon official turned and left, his arrogance overwhelming. Yet, Princess Yushan remained smiling, seemingly unbothered by the State Preceptor’s domineering attitude.
A moment passed, and the demon generals neither left nor raised their glasses to drink, sitting as if on pins and needles, sweating profusely.
The State Preceptor and the princess, these two formidable women, neither could be offended, for offending either would lead to a terrible fate!
Another moment passed, and the mansion remained as if under a spell, the demons glancing at each other, secretly hoping someone would take the lead.
As the host, Yushan still did not speak, her half-closed eyes playful, making the demons who stole glances at her hearts race like drums. In this tense moment, suddenly, a flame shot into the sky, and a servant’s scream came from the backyard, “Oh no, the firewood shed is on fire!”
“Ah—” The crowd seemed to receive a command, rushing out in unison, their intent to leave so unified that it seemed heaven itself was helping.
Yushan’s thin red lips curled slightly, a mysterious smile passing over them, her face still expressionless as she let the demons “escape” her mansion, fleeing towards the State Preceptor’s residence.
The rogue also blended into the crowd, walking leisurely towards the gate. Unexpectedly, while others could leave, he could not. Princess Yushan’s soft, soul-stirring voice hooked and teased in his heart, and the rogue obediently stopped.
“Brother Daring, please, a word.”
Without waiting for Qiao San’s response, Yushan turned and walked straight into the inner hall.
As Qiao San followed Yushan into the garden, the Ghost King appeared in Gouyuan’s State Preceptor’s residence. Facing the State Preceptor, the cunning ghost was far from the perfunctory figure Qiao San imagined, instead reporting every move of the rogue and Yushan in detail.
“…State Preceptor, that Daring San is still at the princess’s mansion. Should I go and keep an eye on him? After all, he still thinks he controls me.”
The ever-changing Gouyuan smiled approvingly, her voice calm, “Ghost King, no need. They can’t escape my grasp. By the way, your ghost spirit has been fully repaired. Here are some pills to enhance your demonic power. Take them and train well. On the day of the Earth Fire Sacrifice, you’ll have a chance to avenge yourself!”

“Hee, hee… Yes, this is the most poisonous wine in the three realms. Brother Daring, dare you drink a cup?”

“Mmm, good wine!” Qiao San laughed freely, and before Yushan could react, he drank the other cup as well.
The rogue suddenly grabbed Tianhu and pressed her against her mother, his eyes filled with wickedness, lingering intently between the two women.
The sound of more intense physical collisions echoed, and the similar trembles and screams of the mother and daughter were indeed delightful!
Although the rogue was a temporary guard for Gouyuan, his wild nature refused to be controlled. When someone from the State Preceptor’s residence tried to stop him from leaving, he kicked them away.

Their laughter finally broke the ice between them, and Qiao San’s long-held apology burst forth, “Yushan, I offer this glass of wine to apologize. Once this matter is settled, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation.”

Just as the banquet reached its peak, the arrival of a demon official abruptly cut off the lively atmosphere.
The newcomer was not some powerful demon but a minor official from the State Preceptor’s residence, yet his presence immediately overwhelmed the various demon generals.
The demon official calmly bowed around, then spoke as if to himself, “The State Preceptor has emerged from seclusion today and, hearing of the generals’ return, has prepared a banquet at her residence to welcome them.”
The demon official turned and left with an air of arrogance, but Princess Yushan still wore a faint smile, seemingly unbothered by the State Preceptor’s overbearing attitude.

Another moment passed, and the residence remained as if under a spell, the demons glancing at each other, secretly hoping someone would take the lead.
As the host, Yushan remained silent, her half-closed eyes making the watching demons’ hearts race; in this tense moment, a sudden flame shot up, and a servant’s scream came from the backyard, “Oh no, the firewood shed is on fire!”
“Whoosh—” The crowd seemed to receive a command, rushing out in unison, their intention to leave so unified that it seemed like divine intervention.
Yushan’s thin red lips curled slightly, a mysterious smile passing over them, her face still showing no expression, allowing the demons to “escape” her residence and head towards the State Preceptor’s residence.
The rogue also blended into the crowd, walking unhurriedly towards the gate, but while others could leave, he could not. Princess Yushan’s soft, haunting voice hooked and teased his heart, and he obediently stopped.

“Sure!” The rogue was indeed shameless and cowardly, actually picking up Yushan’s cup and drinking it in one go.
“Hmm, good wine!” Qiao San laughed freely, drinking the other cup before Yushan could.
“Brother Da Dan, please come with me for a moment.”
Without waiting for Qiao San’s response, Yu Shan turned and headed toward the inner hall.
As Qiao San followed Yu Shan into the garden, the Ghost King instantly appeared at Gou Yuan’s mansion. Facing the National Master, the crafty ghost did not merely give a superficial report as Qiao San imagined but detailed every move of the rogue and Yu Shan.
“…National Master, that Da Dan San is still at the Princess’s mansion. Shall I go monitor him? After all, he still thinks he controls me.”
The rogue swiftly grabbed Tianhu and pressed her against her mother, his eyes gleaming with malice as they lingered between the delicate petals of the mother-daughter pair.
The sound of intense physical collision echoed, and the synchronized trembles and screams of the mother and daughter were indeed a delightful sensation!
Although the rogue was a temporary guard for Gouyuan, his wild nature refused to be controlled by anyone. When the envoy from the Grand Preceptor’s residence tried to stop him from leaving, the rogue kicked him away.
“Damn it, go back and tell Gouyuan that the deal is the deal, and she should mind her own business!”
His words lingered in the air as the rogue patted his clothes and strode away with pride, soon arriving at the brightly decorated princess’s residence.
Tonight, the princess’s residence was bustling with activity. Qiao San not only saw the Ghost King and the Turtle King but also various demon kings from the borderlands who had come from afar to celebrate Princess Yushan’s birthday. It seemed that Yushan’s determination to deal with Gouyuan was indeed strong.
Guests kept pouring in, and Yushan smiled like a flower, but she didn’t show any special attention to Qiao San, which both relieved and slightly disappointed the rogue, making him feel rather bored.
The Unicorn Ghost King suddenly appeared from nowhere, greeted with his usual sly smile, and then whispered in a voice only audible to the two of them, “Master, the Grand Preceptor has ordered me to keep an eye on you.”
“Heh, heh… Old ghost, you’re doing well, keep it up!” Qiao San encouraged the loyal but deceitful ghost with a few words, and before anyone noticed anything unusual, the two naturally separated.
Not long after, the princess’s residence became crowded with thousands of demonic figures. Fireworks lit up the sky, and the birthday banquet officially began.

“Princess, please!” The rogue raised his glass and drank with Yushan, then joked, “I wonder how old the princess is today? Heh, heh…”
Yushan blinked coquettishly, her mature and profound demeanor revealing a hint of liveliness, and she said with a playful scold, “Brother Datan, don’t you know that age is a woman’s biggest secret? Just think of Yushan as forever eighteen! Heh, heh…”
As their laughter mingled, the barrier between them finally vanished. Qiao San felt a surge of joy, and the long-suppressed guilt in his heart finally burst forth. He raised his glass and said solemnly, “Yushan, I borrow your fine wine to apologize to you. Once this matter is settled, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation.”
“Come on, if you lose even a single hair, your women would devour me! Heh, heh…” Princess Yushan’s words were half-serious, half-joking, and from a distance, the two seemed to be flirting and exchanging meaningful glances.
Just as the banquet reached its climax, the arrival of a demon official abruptly cut off the lively atmosphere.

Another moment passed, and the princess’s residence remained as if under a spell. The demons looked at each other, secretly hoping someone would take the lead.
As the hostess, Yushan still didn’t speak, her half-open, half-closed eyes filled with amusement, making the demons who stole glances at her even more nervous.

“Ah—” The crowd seemed to receive a command and rushed out in unison, their intention to leave so unified that it seemed like divine intervention.

“…Grand Preceptor, Datan San is still at the princess’s residence. Should I go and keep an eye on him? After all, he still thinks he controls me.”
The ever-changing Gouyuan smiled approvingly and said calmly, “Ghost King, no need. They can’t escape my grasp. By the way, your ghost essence has been fully restored. Here are some pills to enhance your demonic power. Take them and train well. On the day of the Earth Fire Sacrifice, you’ll have a chance to avenge yourself!”
In the elegant garden of the princess’s residence, Qiao San and Yushan sat across from each other at a flower table under the moonlight.
A small wine jug had already been placed on the table, making Qiao San realize that his presence here was no coincidence. “Princess, it seems this fire was within your expectations, heh, heh… Is this a soul-severing wine you’ve prepared for me?”
A glint of sharpness flashed in the rogue’s eyes. The adversarial stance between them and Yushan’s deep scheming made him highly vigilant.
“Heh, heh… Yes, this is the most poisonous wine in the three realms. Brother Datan, dare you drink a cup?”
Yushan chuckled as she poured a cup of fine wine for Qiao San and herself, then smiled and looked at Qiao San, “Would you like to exchange with me?”
“Sure!” The rogue was indeed shameless and cowardly, actually picking up Yushan’s cup and drinking it in one gulp.
“Hmm, good wine!” Qiao San laughed freely and, before Yushan could react, drank the other cup as well.
In the elegant garden of the Princess’s mansion, Qiao San and Yu Shan sat opposite each other beneath a pavilion, surrounded by moonlight and flowers.
A small wine pot already rested on the table, making Qiao San realize his arrival here was no coincidence. “Princess, this fire seems to have been planned. Hehe… You wouldn’t be serving me a deadly poison wine, would you?”
The rogue’s eyes flickered with sharpness. Aware of their opposing positions and Yu Shan’s deep scheming, he remained highly vigilant.
“Hehe… Yes, this is indeed the deadliest poison wine in the Three Realms. Brother Da Dan, dare you drink a cup?” Yu Shan giggled, pouring a cup of fine wine for both Qiao San and herself before smiling sweetly at him. “Would you like to switch cups with me?”
“Sure!” The rogue truly was shamelessly reckless, actually picking up Yu Shan’s cup and drinking it in one gulp.
“Ah, fine wine!” Qiao San laughed freely, and before Yu Shan could react, he also drank the other cup.
