The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop-Chapter 93 - 36: Heaven’s Chosen Ones
Ye Chenfeng originally also planned to investigate the City Lord Mansion at night by himself. Hearing Jie Wenzhan’s words, he was about to refuse, but then he heard Tianmiao leisurely say, "It’s fine to go together. Even thieves have lookouts; you can’t possibly not have a lookout. You might discover something unexpected together, no?"
Ye Chenfeng: "..."
Jie Wenzhan: "..."
There was such logic in the statement, they didn’t know how to refute it.
But they felt that there was something strange about that metaphor, something seemed off?
Just like that, the two of them went together to the City Lord Mansion at night.
Meanwhile, Tianmiao was comfortably enjoying Kong Hou’s massage, Dong Xiao’s feeding, sitting in front of the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror, observing the two as they went to the City Lord Mansion.
In the deep of night, the vast City Lord Mansion was utterly silent. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Ye Chenfeng and Jie Wenzhan both found it odd. The City Lord Mansion should have over a hundred people, yet it was completely silent, not even a patrolling guard in the courtyard.
The two began to cautiously investigate the City Lord Mansion.
With a wave of Tianmiao’s hand, a scene appeared in the mirror.
The City Lord, who appeared benevolent by day, was now sitting cross-legged in a stone chamber. Demonic Qi swirled around him, seeping in and out of his body cyclically, no longer showing the kind expression of the day, now his face was twisted.
He suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of red flashed within them, and a small notebook flew out from his chest, hovering in the air and flipping pages on its own.
"Haha, this Heartless Path is indeed exquisite, my cultivation has broken through the bottleneck period, it seems I’m not far from the Golden Core Stage!" The City Lord manually flipped through a few more pages, then carefully put it away, and turned to exit the stone door.
At the same time, Jie Wenzhan and Ye Chenfeng felt a hint of Demonic Qi. Just as they were about to pursue further, they heard Tianmiao’s voice in their ears: "Come back. You are no match for these Demon Clan."
The two were startled about how they could hear Tianmiao’s voice from the inn, but listened anyway, preparing to retreat quietly.
Kong Hou, in front of the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror, entered curious baby mode again: "Boss, is that cultivation notebook given to the City Lord by the Demon Clan?"
Tianmiao nodded lightly.
Dong Xiao sighed a little: "I didn’t think there would be such a powerful Demon Clan, able to release a wisp of demonic soul even when sealed to cause trouble."
Kong Hou also exclaimed: "If this Demon Clan succeeds, he will gain a lot of power, right?"
Immediately, Kong Hou was puzzled: "But Boss, you could destroy this demonic soul with a flick of your finger, why don’t you just crush it?"
Tianmiao smiled: "Little chubby, do you know who this world’s favored one is?"
"Ye Chenfeng, right?" Kong Hou blinked, responding.
"Do you prefer the Demon Clan or the Human Clan?" Tianmiao asked again.
"I don’t like humans, but I dislike the Demon Clan even more. They’re dirty fools who only know destruction and slaughter," Kong Hou snorted disdainfully.
"Indeed, I also dislike most of the Demon Clan," Tianmiao couldn’t help but stroke Kong Hou’s small Dragon Horn, "but it’s not for the reason you said. It’s because of the endless ambition and desire completely unmatched with their status."
Kong Hou paused, then suddenly had a revelation, clapping his hands: "I see what Boss means! Pretending to be superior without the ability to back it up, they deserve divine retribution."
Dong Xiao couldn’t help but burst into laughter on the side.
Tianmiao pinched Kong Hou’s little Dragon Horn and chuckled, "In some sense, your explanation is correct."
"I get it, so Boss won’t let that stupid Demon Clan off easy this time. I remember, sometimes death isn’t the cruelest fate for humans. This truth applies to the Demon Clan too!" Kong Hou said with a smug face, looking for praise.
