Even hybrid monsters have their day

"No, if he recognized me, he would have made his move in the cave. I am no match for him, so why would he bother with all that?"

After Geng Miaowan's analysis, the others found it quite reasonable and couldn't find any words to refute it for a moment. While they were discussing, Haotian had already brought her to the Demon Palace.

Because her eyes were closed, she didn't know what the demon palace looked like. She only knew that after entering the demon palace, she clearly felt that the demonic energy here was much stronger than in the previous places. So strong that it made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

After taking a few steps, Geng Miaowan felt a warm aura enveloping her, isolating her from the demonic energy and making her feel much more comfortable.

She couldn't help but feel a little strange; why did Haotian seem to know she would feel uncomfortable? A vague unease crept into her heart...

Before long, she was put down, and the soft touch of her body told her it was a bed. Just as she had expected, Haotian left without lingering.

Only when the surroundings became quiet and she could no longer sense anything unusual did Geng Miaowan open her eyes.

The room was large, with minimal decoration, just a simple bed and a set of indistinguishable table and chairs. If it weren't for the aura emanating from Haotian that filled the room, she would never have believed this was the demon leader's bed.

Because they were currently in the territory of the Demon Clan, Geng Miaowan did not dare to let Xu Ruwen and the Huangfu brothers come out of their sea of ​​consciousness.

The first thing she did after jumping out of bed wasn't to check the situation, but to try and take Luan Hao's energy bead out of her clothes. But her clothes were empty; there was nothing there.

Geng Miaowan was very puzzled. She could still feel the bead's presence on the way, so how could it suddenly disappear in the blink of an eye? Did it accidentally roll onto the bed?

Thinking this, she quickly jumped back onto the bed and started searching.

However, she searched the entire bed and even the room, but still couldn't find the energy bead.

"Luan Hao... Luan Hao..."

No one answered...

Geng Miaowan was immediately filled with anxiety. Losing the energy bead wasn't a big deal; Luan Hao had already retrieved most of the energy. But Luan Hao himself was still inside the energy bead! She had lost him—what was she to do?

She carefully opened the door, intending to go out and retrace her steps to find the beads. The moment the door opened, she nearly bumped into a little girl who was about to enter, startling her so much that she took several steps back.

The little girl was clearly taken aback when someone suddenly opened the door, and she was so startled that she almost dropped what she was holding. Luckily, she steadied herself in time, preventing everything from falling.

The young girl paused for a moment when she saw her step aside at the doorway. Then she carried the things into the room. She lowered her head slightly, silently entered the room, and placed the things she was carrying on the table. Then she walked back to Geng Miaowan's side and called softly, "Madam."

The address made Geng Miaowan frown almost imperceptibly. When Haotian carried her over earlier, she had heard his subordinates call her "Madam." She wasn't stupid. She knew the meaning behind the title "Madam," no wonder Haotian had carried her to his room. She hadn't expected their relationship to be like this.

For some reason, this made her feel inexplicably unhappy, but she couldn't explain why. She could only shake her head and shake the inexplicable feeling out of her mind.

After the young girl called her "Madam," she didn't say anything more, just stood beside her with her hands hanging down, leaving the girl unsure of what to do...

While she was puzzled, the little demon girl who had been waiting for her response for a long time also looked up at her in confusion and called out again, "Madam."

Geng Miaowan thought to herself, "Can't you just say what you want to say? Why do you have to look at me with such a hesitant look, and I can't even ask you what you want?"

Remembering that the girl had brought something in earlier, she pretended to be calm and walked to the table, glancing at what the girl had brought.

It was a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup, along with two small pastries.

To everyone's surprise, these were all her favorite foods. Not only did the woman look exactly like her, but she also had the same tastes.

To avoid arousing the girl's suspicion, she calmly sat down and ate a few bites of food. Then, as if casually asking, "Where did the leader go?"

Geng Miaowan didn't think there was anything wrong with her question, but the little girl who had been standing respectfully to the side looked at her as if she were looking at a wonder of the world after hearing her question.

However, the young girl seemed to be worldly-wise, and quickly suppressed her surprise, saying to Geng Miaowan, "The leader is meeting an important guest in the main hall."

"What kind of guest?" Who could Haotian classify as important?

Having been surprised earlier, the little girl was noticeably calmer when asked another question this time. "I heard he's the great leader of the demon race."

The Great Leader of the Demon Clan...

"Could it be Qiu Pi?"

It has to be said that the little girl is really adaptable. Now, she just gave Geng Miaowan a faint look and nodded, without even thinking that the person Haotian saw was Qiu Pi.

"Do you know what he wanted to see the leader about?"

The little girl shook her head, and soon she packed her things and went out.

Once she was sure the little girl was far away, Geng Miaowan quickly opened the door and went out as well.

Thanks to her face, she encountered no obstacles along the way. Even though some demon soldiers noticed her strange behavior, they just watched from a distance and did not come forward to stop her.

The Demon Palace was vast. After passing through a passageway at the entrance of the room, a maze-like network of corridors came into view.

Geng Miaowan didn't know which path Haotian had led her in from; she simply searched everywhere by her senses, but still couldn't find the energy bead. Geng Miaowan wondered, "Could it have fallen on the road and been seen and picked up by someone...?"

Thinking about it this way, she felt uneasy all over. Thinking of Luan Hao's expressionless face, she suddenly realized that if that were true, then the day Luan Hao came back, her good days would be over.

Speaking of the last time in that space, although Luan Hao had left her for a while, the bead was with her then, so he was able to find her. But now? Without the bead's connection, will he still be able to find her...? (To be continued.)
