A long robe of deep purplish crimson fluttered lightly in the wind. The man’s aura surged like a rainbow, noble and domineering, as if he were the God of Asura. His cold gaze swept indifferently over the crowd around him, all of whom were staring in stunned daze...

They had never seen such a stunningly handsome man! His beauty was so breathtaking it shook the soul, making it impossible for those amazed gazes to look away...

This was also the first time the man in white had seen his own King’s true face.

He had never imagined that face’s contours would be so strikingly handsome, so beautiful it made one forget to breathe...

Because Ye Wuchen always wore a mask, everyone assumed there must be some flaw in his looks. Yet who could have known what kind of face capable of toppling all living beings was hidden beneath that silver mask...

Ye Wuchen drew back his gaze and once more let it fall on Xue. Seeing the little dazed face before him, the corner of his lips lifted in a faint, shallow arc.

"Can you give me my mask back now?"

The man in white snapped out of his shock, only to be dumbfounded all over again.

According to how he’d expected things to go, shouldn’t the King be flying into a rage and then chopping this tender little girl into pieces? But what was this situation— not only was the King not angry, he even smiled at her?

Moreover, he didn’t know if it was just his imagination, but he kept feeling that little girl’s brows and eyes looked somewhat similar to the King’s...

Xue blankly placed the mask into Ye Wuchen’s hand, a flash of doubt sweeping across her large eyes.

This guy seemed a bit familiar, but aside from Ye Sihuang she’d never had contact with anyone else, so she really couldn’t remember where she might have seen him...

"Let’s go." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Ye Wuchen set the mask back over his own face, and swept a cool glance toward the man in white behind him. "Bai Fei, you don’t need to follow."

"But, Master..."

Whoosh!

Before Bai Fei could recover, Ye Wuchen’s body suddenly turned into a streak of purple light and vanished from his sight...

"That girl really looks like the King, and the King is being so gentle with her. Could it be..."

Bai Fei’s heart gave a jolt; his eyes widened at once, and even his voice trembled. "Could it be she’s the King’s illegitimate daughter out there?"

You had to know, even though many people treated Ye Wuchen like some hideous freak, there were still plenty of women and families coveting the position of consort. For no other reason than that he was the King of Hell, the God of Asura!

If one married him, the entire hell would be theirs...

However, among all the powerful figures in hell, only General Murong’s daughter had the qualifications to become his wife. This was already something nailed down as ironclad fact in everyone’s eyes.

If that girl really was the King’s illegitimate daughter, the entire hell would erupt into a violent storm...

"No, whether she is or isn’t the King’s illegitimate daughter, this matter absolutely must not be spread."

Bai Fei hurriedly shook his head. He didn’t dare imagine what things would look like if this were to get out. That little girl would probably be in grave danger—unless the King stayed by her side at all times, there would be many people hunting her down...

...

Lord Mansion.

Mu Ruyue sat upright on the chair, her calm gaze sweeping over the people below as her even voice rang out. "From today on, I will be the one in charge of the Lord Mansion. The former Lord, Lan Song, will serve as the Lord Mansion’s Housekeeper. If you have matters, you are to continue reporting to him as before; there is no need to come to me."

Everyone looked at one another in dismay. If Mu Ruyue had driven Lan Song out, or stripped him of his authority, perhaps they still wouldn’t obey her.
