Chapter 92: Moonlit Night – After Flirting, He Wanted to Run Without a Second Thought!
There was no point in staying. If A Bao had defeated Lin Ze, perhaps Feng Xiu would have said a few words on his behalf.
But as the first heir, A Bao had now lost so miserably. It was already generous that Feng Xiu hadn't punished him on the spot.
After the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu left, A Bao glared at Lin Ze one last time—fiercely—before disappearing from the scene.
He wasn't someone who couldn't take defeat. A Bao understood that with Lin Ze's momentum tonight, he had no chance.
But what truly humiliated him was being defeated so thoroughly.
Once Feng Xiu and A Bao departed, the Demon Pillar Challenge was officially declared over.
> "Lin Ze, I'm optimistic about you. I've already spoken to Mendi—if you need him, just say the word. I think he's satisfied with your performance just now."
The words from the Star Demon God Vashak made Lin Ze suddenly realize—no wonder Mendi had come up earlier to give him advice.
So that's what had happened.
Facing Vashak's goodwill, Lin Ze nodded respectfully.
> "Understood. Thank you for your support, Lord Star Demon God."
> "Alright then, I still have some things to handle. If there's anything you can't manage, come to the Star Demon Palace anytime."
After saying this, Vashak left.
Now, the only ones left on the platform were the Moon Demon God Agares, the Love Demon God Sidi, Lin Ze, and Yue Ye.
Despite there being no outsiders, Lin Ze felt a strange pressure, especially in front of Agares.
He couldn't explain why, but he was slightly afraid of the man being dissatisfied with him.
Noticing Lin Ze's subtle nervousness, Agares said plainly:
> "When you have time, visit the Moon Demon Palace."
His gaze lingered on Yue Ye for a brief moment before turning to leave.
Watching this, Sidi pretended to be indifferent and said:
> "When you're done with your own matters, return to the Palace of Love Demons."
In truth, Sidi was a little surprised herself. She hadn't expected Lin Ze to be held in such high regard by both the Star Demon God and the Demon God Emperor.
She had originally thought Feng Xiu wouldn't let Lin Ze off so easily, but not only had Lin Ze avoided punishment, he had also won the full recognition of the Sun, Moon, and Star Pillars.
> "Understood, Sister. I'll come find you after I'm finished."
Satisfied with his answer, Sidi vanished.
Leaving only the two of them—Lin Ze and Yue Ye—alone in the wind.
This bizarre and unexpected farce had finally come to an end.
Yue Ye let out a long sigh, then subconsciously hugged Lin Ze's arm.
> "It's finally over..."
Then, she looked up at him with a smile:
> "Lin Ze, you finally have some time. Why don't you come to the Moon Demon Palace with me to see my father?"
> "Ah?!"
Lin Ze asked in confusion:
> "Sister Yue, weren't we just pretending? Now that the crisis is over, why do we still need to meet the Moon Demon God?"
Yue Ye: "???"
She stared at Lin Ze for a long time, then silently let go of his arm.
> "Sister Yue... why are you looking at me like that... it's kind of scary..."
Seeing Yue Ye's fake smile, Lin Ze instinctively swallowed.
Yue Ye's fists clenched as her mind screamed:
> "You little brat! I actually got emotional for once, and now you're telling me it was all an act?!"
She was so furious she wanted to leave teeth marks on his neck.
> Flirting and then trying to run—what's the difference between him and a scumbag?!
Yue Ye held back her desire to bite him and said sweetly:
> "Brother Lin Ze, you worked hard today. I'll make it up to you tonight."
Hmph!
> Stupid Lin Ze! If I don't deal with you properly tonight, I'm not the Moon Night Witch!
Then, without giving Lin Ze a chance to reply, Yue Ye turned and stormed off the platform.
> "Stupid Lin Ze! We even kissed—and now you're saying it was just acting?!"
> If I don't eat you alive tonight, I'm not Yue Ye!!
Behind her, a sinister, witch-like aura formed from her resentment...
> "Uhhh~~"
Watching Yue Ye's back, Lin Ze suddenly felt a cold gust of wind sweep over him. He shivered uncontrollably.
He swallowed again.
A very bad premonition crept into his heart.

Not long after.
Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce Headquarters
As soon as Yue Ye arrived at the gates, a familiar voice greeted her.
> "Your Highness Yue Ye, why are you alone? Where's Master Lin Ze?"
> "I asked him to accompany Xiao Xiao first." Yue Ye originally wanted Lin Ze to come with her to visit Leng Xiao, but after the battle, she decided to let him go alone.
With Xiao Xiao's personality, she was probably locked away in her room, feeling miserable.
Hearing this, Xiao Yun sighed.
> "Your Highness Yue Ye, you're too cunning. Her Highness Xiao Xiao will probably be heartbroken for a while."
Yue Ye didn't deny it.
As the two walked toward the room, Yue Ye said:
> "There's no such thing as 'first come, first served' in love. I gave Xiao Xiao plenty of chances—but that silly girl never confessed."
She didn't bother explaining that Lin Ze had only helped her today.
No matter what, Lin Ze was hers.
Even if Lin Ze himself refused to admit it!
> "Oh, Xiao Yun, help me book a room at the hotel."
> "Yes, Your Highness."
Xiao Yun didn't question what the room was for.
But Yue Ye had already begun plotting her revenge.
> Hmph! Flirt with me and then run? No way!
She did feel sorry for Leng Xiao, but she had no intention of letting Lin Ze escape.
Letting him go back to Leng Xiao alone was the least she could do.
Yue Ye knew that Leng Xiao was at her most vulnerable now. Pushing Lin Ze to her side was like sending a lamb to a wolf.
If Xiao Xiao could muster enough courage, maybe she'd be able to keep Lin Ze tonight.

Meanwhile
Leng Xiao's bedroom
Leng Xiao sat slumped over her desk, absentmindedly twirling a teacup with her fingers.
After seeing that Lin Ze wasn't in danger, she had left the arena quietly.
She didn't even remember walking back. The next thing she knew, she was in her room.
She felt empty.
Looking at the teacup, Leng Xiao's mind replayed the image of Lin Ze and Yue Ye embracing.
> "Damn Lin Ze! You never told me you liked Sister Yue!"
> "And I've been hanging out with you every day!"
> "Big liar!"
> "I'm never playing with you again! If I do—I'll write my name backwards!"
> "Hmph! I hate you the most!"
> "Stupid Lin Ze! I always stood by your side, now go be with Sister Yue!"
> "Don't come to me again!"
> "I don't want to be your witch anymore!"
With each accusation, Leng Xiao poked the teacup like it was Lin Ze's face.
She seemed to be pouring all her heartbreak into that poor porcelain cup.
