"Tsk tsk, I must say, this Senluo Palace is truly magnificent."

Even the walls inside the house are made of jade, and the lobby is filled with exquisite ceramics and calligraphy and paintings. However, most people who come here probably won't be interested in these things, except for Yu Xianxian.

"These things would be enough for me to live on for most of my life, no matter which country I take them with me."

"Fancy and ordinary things are useless to cultivators, no matter how many they collect."

"In the end, you're just jealous of other people's money, aren't you?"

"Money? In this world, with absolute power, what can't you get? If I wanted to..."

"Fine, fine, you're awesome, shameless, a bandit, a robber, okay?"

Situ, whose microphone was forcibly muted: ...

The two souls inside the person behind were locked in a fierce battle, while the steward leading the way stopped in front of a room and turned to Yu Xianxian, saying, "Sir, this is the place."

"Would your master stay in such an obvious place?"

Yu Xianxian glanced down at the bustling lobby below. The Senluo Palace consisted mainly of a main building and two courtyards. The front courtyard displayed only ordinary items to entertain guests, while the truly valuable items were kept in the inner courtyard. The two courtyards were separated by the first floor. This building, a hundred feet high, was used for auctions and providing accommodation for guests. They were currently on the second floor, below which lay the chaotic auction venue. Yu Xianxian didn't believe that a powerful behind-the-scenes boss would be in such a place.

"You'll know once you go in."

"Hmph, you better not lie to me."

Yu Xianxian flicked her sleeves, pushed open the door and entered the room. The next second, a wave of dizziness hit her. When Yu Xianxian's vision cleared again, she was obviously in a different place.

"Holy crap, what kind of lousy magic array is this? It's so dizzying."

Although she had long suspected there was a magic array, the quality of this array... ugh, Yu Xianxian really couldn't agree with it. Even Lin Zifu, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage, was better than this.

"Heh, it's because you're too weak."

"Yes, yes, you're amazing. Don't think I didn't hear you vomit just now."

"Isn't that because it's your body?"

"If you can't stand it, then get out."

Before Yu Xianxian could finish complaining, a gentle male voice entered her ears.

"Xuan Cheng was unaware of the Demon Lord's presence and has failed to greet you properly. I hope you will forgive me."

Yu Xianxian looked up and saw a man in a blue robe. Even sitting down, he was still tall and slender. He held a folding fan and bowed with his hands clasped. He also had a perfectly appropriate smile on his face. With his handsome face, by Yu Xianxian's standards, he was definitely a "handsome guy".

So, in the next second, Yu Xianxian silently took two steps back.

After realizing her subconscious action, Yu Xianxian felt a little sorry for herself. Back then, when she saw a handsome guy, she wouldn't exactly drool over him like a pervert, but she would at least look at him a few more times if she could.

But now, she sees a handsome guy and immediately assumes he's not a good person. Especially the one in front of her, who, according to general theory, is most likely a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"You're not afraid of me, but you're afraid of him."

"What do you know? This is called 'handsome guy phobia'. I get scared when I see a new handsome guy, you know? Ignorance is truly terrifying."

Si Tu: ...nerves.

Speaking of which, someone who dares to meet the Demon Lord of Dogs alone must be quite powerful.

"Hey, Si Tu, do you think this handsome guy can beat you?"

"Heh, what do you think?"

Although she didn't have much hope to begin with, Yu Xianxian still held onto a sliver of hope: ...Okay, after all, the initial setting she gave this guy was basically that he was invincible. She estimated that apart from Shen Mengxi back then, no one could beat this guy. Even though the opponent was now using her weak body, although the defense was almost zero, the attack power was still at the ceiling level.

Damn it, if she had known she would end up with this guy, she should have at least made Si Tu a brainless character, if not reduced his strength by half.

Just as Yu Xianxian was regretting why she hadn't written it that way, her mouth started moving.

"You're quite perceptive."

"It's just a little talent. Although the Demon Lord is trying to conceal it, I believe that no one else in the world possesses such demonic energy. Please forgive me for not being able to come out to greet you; it was truly impolite."

"Ha, since you know you've been rude, then kneel down and atone for your sins."

Yu Xianxian: ...Hmm, very good. As expected, no matter how hard she tries, she can't learn the arrogant tone of the Demon Lord.

To everyone's surprise, upon hearing Si Tu's words, the other person gave a wry smile, then lifted the hem of their robe, revealing legs that were covered by the garment. Oh, sorry, I misspoke; it should be "covered air," because the other person didn't actually have legs.

"As you, Lord Demon Lord, have seen, it's not that I don't want to, but that I simply cannot do it."

"Didn't you say your Yama Palace has countless rare treasures? How come all those treasures couldn't save a pair of legs?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Cheng's eyes darkened slightly, but he quickly composed himself and replied, "That person used his life as a pledge to cripple my legs, and no method could cure them."

"You've pledged your life to someone, so you're quite hated, aren't you?"

Ignoring Yu Xianxian who had jumped out, Si Tu looked at Xuan Cheng and sneered, "So it seems you want to talk to me because of your legs. But unfortunately, I can't help you."

That's true. After all, when this guy was alive, there were very few who could break through his defenses, and even fewer who could seriously injure him.

But Xuan Cheng had obviously considered this point beforehand, and laughed, "Demon Lord, you misunderstand. I know that my legs are beyond saving. I invited you here today to ask you to help me find someone."

"Do you think I have the time or inclination to help you find someone?"

"Of course I wouldn't dare trouble the Demon Lord for nothing," Xuan Cheng said quickly before Si Tu could unleash his power, "I will definitely repay you handsomely afterward. Apart from the Yuan Sheng Flower, you may take anything in my Senluo Palace that the Demon Lord takes a fancy to."

"You think I have any use for your things?"

But to Si Tu's surprise, the other party's tone changed, and he actually became somewhat interested.

"I've heard that the Demon Lord and the Immortal Sect have always been enemies, and I imagine there will be endless conflicts in the future."

This matter has even dragged the immortal sects into it. Now, not only Si Tu, but even Yu Xianxian, who was about to yawn, is wide awake.

"Go on."

Seeing that the person opposite him had shown interest, Xuan Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "The person I am looking for is a disciple of a cultivation sect named Lin Zifu. He..."

The moment that familiar name was uttered, Yu Xianxian immediately seized control of her body. She strode up to Xuan Cheng, grabbed his collar before he could finish speaking, and said coldly, "Tell me, who are you going to mess with?"
