Chapter 160: Ye Weiyang's Longing, Cai'er's Confusion
Two days later.
In the Holy City.
Since the battle at Zhennan Pass, humans and demons have had a brief respite.
Inside the Holy City auction house,
Ye Weiyang had just finished an auction and was about to go home, feeling exhausted.
But Feng Ling'er, who had just returned from the Holy Temple Alliance headquarters, stopped her.
"Sister Weiyang, wait a moment. There's something I need to tell you."
Feng Ling'er's voice was faintly weary, and Ye Weiyang inquired, "Ling'er, what's wrong with you? Did the Holy Alliance issue another bullshit announcement?"
"Alliance Leader Yang, you're such a fool! Our relationship with the Moonlight Chamber of Commerce is just basic business!"
"Besides, if Lin Ze really wanted to harm the Holy City, wouldn't he have already done it?"
"But what a fool this guy is, Lin Ze is actually the descendant of the Love Demon God Sidi. I don't know when we'll meet again..."
Hearing Ye Weiyang suddenly bring up Lin Ze, Feng Ling'er felt a touch of helplessness.
Ever since meeting Lin Ze two years ago, Ye Weiyang had talked about him almost constantly, even going so far as to keep a close eye on his movements.
During those two years, Ye Weiyang had practically turned down all business meetings.
Feng Ling'er was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Sister Weiyang, I've wanted to ask you something for a long time..."
"What?"
"Are you in love with Lin Ze?"
Hearing Feng Ling'er's question, Ye Weiyang was dazed. She hadn't expected her to ask that out of the blue. For a moment, Ye Weiyang couldn't help but recall the time when she'd used Lin Ze as her boyfriend.
A smile crept across her lips.
But after a brief silence, Ye Weiyang denied it, saying, "How could that be? He's a demon. How could I possibly fall in love with him?"
Although Ye Weiyang denied her feelings for Lin Ze, she probably didn't even notice that her voice was growing less confident as she went on.
Feng Ling'er, who had grown up with Ye Weiyang, surely understood her true feelings.
She sighed deeply and said, "Sister Weiyang, come with me. I need to tell you something about Lin Ze."
"What's wrong with him?" Ye Weiyang asked subconsciously, feeling worried. After all, the Holy Alliance had been asking about Lin Ze several times recently.
Inside the room.
"Ling'er, stop keeping us in suspense. What exactly happened?" Ye Weiyang asked anxiously.
Looking at the closed door, Feng Ling'er said bluntly, "Because of Lin Ze, the demons will not attack humans for the next month."
"Ah, isn't this a good thing?" Ye Weiyang continued with some surprise. "You looked so nervous. I was startled. I thought it was something else."
Seeing Ye Weiyang sighing with relief, Feng Ling'er felt helpless and unsure how to start. However, realizing that this news would eventually spread, she simply spoke directly.
"I'm not worried about myself, but about you, Sister Weiyang. This is indeed a good thing, but don't you want to know why Lin Ze has such power?"
"Why?" Ye Weiyang suddenly felt a bad premonition.
Feng Ling'er then said bluntly, "Lin Ze and the Demon Princess will be getting married in the Heart City of the Demon Capital in five days. To congratulate the newlyweds, Demon Emperor Feng Xiu hereby declares a one-month truce for the Demon Clan!"
"Get... Married!" Ye Weiyang said in disbelief.
"Yes, the Demon Emperor has already sent someone to notify the Alliance leaders." Seeing Ye Weiyang's eyes filled with disbelief, Feng Ling'er continued, "Sister Weiyang, you should stop focusing on him. It's impossible for you two to be together. He's a demon, and you humans..."
"I'll be going back now. I'd like to take two days off," Ye Weiyang said, somewhat bewildered.
Without waiting for Feng Ling'er's reply, she turned and left.
On the way back, Ye Weiyang murmured to herself, "A demon princess, that suits him quite well..."
...
Exorcism Pass.
After the incident at Dream Paradise, Cai'er's demon hunting group had a brief respite, and all members had returned to their respective temples.
Inside the Exorcism Pass, Cai'er was immersed in her training as usual.
Outside the training room, Sheng Yue, a thin figure with a head full of white hair, was pacing back and forth.
She wanted to knock on the door but pulled back.
But just as Sheng Yue withdrew her hand, the training room door opened.
"What's going on?" Cai'er asked calmly, looking at Sheng Yue, who was hesitant to speak.
"Cai'er, there is something I need to tell you. The Exorcism Pass has spread now. I wonder if you've heard about it..." Sheng Yue asked indirectly.
"No, I've been training in the Tower of Eternity these past few days."
"Cai'er, there's something I hope you're mentally prepared for..."
Sheng Yue was worried that Cai'er would suddenly learn about Lin Ze's wedding and lose control, so she planned to make it clear in advance.
After all, the news of Lin Ze and Leng Xiao's wedding has almost gone viral throughout the Holy Demon Continent.
It's only a matter of time before Cai'er finds out.
"Speak," Cai'er said coldly.
Seeing this, Sheng Yue said directly: "Lin Ze and the demon princess Leng Xiao will be married in five days..."
As Sheng Yue spoke, she was ready to knock Cai'er unconscious at any time.
But what surprised her was that Cai'er's face was very calm, and she just said in a flat tone: "...Isn't he and Yue Ye engaged? Why Leng Xiao?"
Faced with Cai'er's question, Sheng Yue was also stunned for a moment.
Sheng Yue frowned slightly, puzzled. "Yeah, isn't this brat engaged to the president of the Moonlight Chamber of Commerce? How come his partner is a demon princess?"
Just as Sheng Yue was puzzled, there was a loud bang!
The door to the training room slammed shut.
Just as Sheng Yue was stunned, Cai'er's voice rang out from inside: "Don't bother me these days. I need to practice!"
Cai'er's words surprised Sheng Yue. She had expected Cai'er to lose her composure, but she was surprisingly calm.
What Sheng Yue didn't know was that Cai'er's face was pale, and she was filled with frustration.
She knew that Lin Ze's personality wouldn't allow him to propose such a hasty wedding ceremony.
The only possible explanation was that after Lin Ze returned to the demon clan, he was forced into this arrangement by the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu.
Although she knew this wasn't Lin Ze's original intention, Cai'er still felt a pang of anger.
She didn't know how to vent it.
Cai'er released her bitten lips and said coldly, "Xiaoxiaohao, help me start the trial. I want to break through the tower!"
