Quick Transmigration: The Beautiful Host Wants to Have Both Love and Career

This time, however, he missed his target, his palm only touching a slightly cool bed.

Sui Si's brows furrowed slightly, his eyes still tightly closed, as if he was still clinging to the last vestiges of sleep, murmuring to himself:

"Hey, where did this little guy go?"

After calming down, he groggily opened his eyes, looked around sleepily, and then fully woke up to find that the little fox was indeed not beside him.

He rubbed his still somewhat heavy head and muttered to himself:

"That little rascal, he must be restless in this new place so early in the morning."

I guess he took a stroll early in the morning to familiarize himself with the surroundings.

Thinking this way, Sui Si stopped worrying, threw off the covers, got up and prepared to wash up and start a new day.

After washing up, Sui Si was standing in the room tidying up his robes, smoothing out the wrinkles one by one, his movements methodical and orderly.

Just then, a clear and rhythmic tapping sound came from the barrier.

The sound seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet morning, each beat like a hammer blow to his heart.

Sui Si abruptly stopped, frowned slightly, and looked puzzled.

He wondered in his heart:

Who could be knocking on the barrier so early in the morning? Could it be something urgent?

Filled with doubt, Sui Si strode towards the barrier.

Each step he took was tinged with urgency and vigilance; as he approached the barrier, his heartbeat quickened slightly.

When he looked up, what he saw almost made him speechless with astonishment.

The Demon Emperor Jun Sui stood calmly outside the barrier, a faint smile playing on his lips, watching him with an air of leisure.

Sui Si froze on the spot, his face filled with bewilderment, while his heart was churning with turmoil:

Why has the Demon Emperor arrived?

What is he here for?

Could it be that they really have nothing better to do?

But this sudden visit so early in the morning is definitely not simple; there's probably some hidden meaning behind it.

He quickly calculated in his mind, but on the surface, he tried his best to suppress his surprise and panic. He took a deep breath, calmed his expression, and tried to remain composed and calm.

Sui Si bowed slightly, offered a greeting, and asked:

"Your Majesty, Demon Emperor, what brings you here so early today?"

His voice was steady as he tried to discern Jun Sui's intentions from his words.

Jun Sui's lips curled up slightly, his smile becoming increasingly meaningful, as if it held endless secrets.

He spoke slowly and deliberately, his voice deep and magnetic:

"Sect Leader Sui, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

He paused slightly, his gaze fixed on Sui Si, his eyes revealing an undeniable focus.

"I have come here today to discuss a cooperation with the Qingyun Sect and to make a mutually beneficial deal."

As he spoke, he crossed his arms, straightened his back, and exuded an innate kingly aura, his eyes revealing an undeniable confidence and certainty.

Upon hearing this, Sui Si felt a chill run down his spine and became secretly on guard.

Cooperating with the demon race is not a trivial matter that can be decided lightly; the interests involved are complex and far-reaching.

The slightest misstep could bring unpredictable trouble and disaster to the Qingyun Sect, and even endanger the survival of the entire sect.

His mind raced, weighing the pros and cons, his gaze sweeping back and forth across Jun Sui's face, trying to glean even the slightest useful information from his expression and eyes, to discern some clue.

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze, and the whole world was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

Sui Si was struggling with an intense internal struggle: should he agree or refuse?

This is a difficult question.

Finally, after much deliberation and consideration, he slowly spoke, his tone tinged with caution:

"Since Your Majesty the Demon Emperor is so sincere, then please come in and discuss this in detail."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and smoothly dispelled the barrier, stepping aside to let Jun Sui enter.

Jun Sui walked into the barrier with calm and elegant steps, each step as if he were measuring this land.

His gaze swept around, his eyes revealing curiosity and scrutiny, before he smiled and said:

"Sect Leader Sui's residence is quite secluded and has a unique tranquil charm."

Sui Si did not respond, but calmly gestured for Jun Sui to enter the house.

Jun Sui and Sui Si sat facing each other. The room was filled with the aroma of tea, and the freshly brewed tea on the table was steaming, adding a touch of gentleness to the slightly serious atmosphere.

Jun Sui gracefully picked up the teacup, took a small sip, savoring the aroma spreading on his tongue, and slowly spoke:

"Sect Leader Qingyun, in my opinion, it would be best if the two clans could cooperate and focus on resource sharing."

My demon race has a vast territory, where many rare herbs grow, and the Qingyun Sect has always been famous for its superb alchemy skills.

By complementing each other's strengths, we can surely elevate the power of both sides to a new level, which is undoubtedly a great benefit for both races.

Sui Si remained calm, nodding slightly in acknowledgment, but his heart was in turmoil.

He lowered his eyes in thought. Although the cooperation sounded tempting, the interests involved were complex and intertwined.

The elders within the sect have always been wary of the demon race, and this cooperation, once proposed, will surely cause a huge uproar.

Moreover, how to allocate resources and how to ensure the integrity of both parties during the cooperation process are all thorny issues.

Just as he was about to organize his thoughts in response, Jun Sui abruptly changed the subject without warning.

"By the way, I recently heard that your esteemed clan's young friend Ran Cang saved my demon clan's trusted confidant. I have always kept this kindness in my heart."

"We must meet this young heroine today, no matter what, to thank her in person and express our gratitude as demons."

Jun Sui wore a gentle smile, but his eyes revealed an unyielding determination, as if declaring that there was no room for negotiation.

Upon hearing this, Sui Si abruptly stopped in his tracks, his mind, which had been focused on the cooperation, being disrupted.

He frowned almost imperceptibly, his mind racing with thoughts.

After a brief silence, he spoke:

"This is Ran Cang's own choice and judgment. She acts according to her own principles and morals."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sui Si raised his hand, gathered spiritual power at his fingertips, and used a spell to send a message to Ran Cang.

While waiting for the dye to turn blue, a subtle silence fell over the room.

Sui Si became inexplicably irritable. The cooperation plan being discussed in front of him now seemed like a piece of waste paper, failing to arouse his interest in the slightest.

He simply leaned back in his chair and stopped bringing up the deal.

Jun Sui keenly sensed the change in Sui Si's mood, and on a whim, he unexpectedly became unusually attentive, as if serving a distinguished guest.

He quickly picked up the teapot and gently poured tea for Sui Si, his voice unconsciously lowered, almost ingratiatingly saying:

"Sect Leader, please have some tea to soothe your throat. We can discuss the details of the cooperation slowly after our young friend Ran Cang arrives. There's no need to rush."

Before long, hurried footsteps came from outside, and Ran Cang pushed open the door and entered.

She first bowed respectfully to Sui Si, her voice clear and melodious:

"Master."

Then he turned to look at Jun Sui, his eyes filled with wariness and doubt.

Jun Sui smiled broadly, as if greeting a junior, and quickly pulled a fluffy pendant from his pocket, handing it to Ran Cang and explaining gently:

“Young friend Ran Cang, this pendant is no ordinary pendant. It was carefully made from the tail shed by a fox that has cultivated for many years.”

In our demon race, it carries blessings, luck, and magical power; it is a rare and priceless heirloom.

I am presenting this to you today to express my deepest gratitude.

Ran Cang subconsciously took the pendant, finding it soft and warm to the touch.

She was somewhat at a loss, and subconsciously turned to look at her master, her eyes asking a question, silently conveying:

"Master, may I accept it?"

Seeing this scene, Sui Si felt a wave of helplessness and muttered to himself:

"As the master, I have to worry about everything, it's just like raising a child."

But he remained calm on the surface and nodded slightly, which could be considered as tacit approval.
