The timeline rewinds to the period of the merchant association competition.
Ning Ye Chen and Luo Ru Ying had already left, and Meng Niu and the other two naturally took on the responsibility of staying behind.
Even though Ning Ye Chen wasn't there, they still diligently cleaned every inch of the house.
After finishing the cleaning, the three of them sat idly on the steps of the courtyard, still holding feather dusters and rags.
"Hey, do you think it will be long before Master and Mistress return with the young miss?"
Bai Yuan curiously asked Meng Niu and Cai Se beside him.
"Although Mistress's cultivation is only at the Celestial Realm, the spiritual energy in her body is extremely rich and extraordinary. I estimate they will return soon."
Cai Se crossed her arms, perched her legs, and said lightly.
She had occasionally seen Luo Ru Ying secretly use her spiritual power to wash clothes. That pale golden spiritual power was filled with extraordinary pressure, making even her feel somewhat apprehensive.
If they were to fight to the death, she wasn't even completely confident that she could defeat Luo Ru Ying.
It could be seen that the madam's strength was also extraordinary.
Meng Niu, on the other hand, proudly patted his chest and said:
"I don't know how long the madam will be gone."
"But if the master allows me to go, I can slap those people to death with one palm."
"Stupid ox, you should restrain yourself a bit."
"If you expose your identity and ruin the Demon Sovereign's plans, he won't let you off…"
"Don't forget, you threw a snowball and hit the young miss in the face. The Demon Sovereign hasn't even settled accounts with you yet."
"You should be grateful you're still alive," Cai Se said, rolling her eyes at Meng Niu.
Sometimes she was genuinely afraid that this stupid ox would accidentally expose his identity.
If the Demon Sovereign were to hold them accountable, she and Bai Yuan would likely be implicated as well.
The moment Ning Ye Chen was mentioned, the smug arrogance on Meng Niu's face vanished instantly. He shrunk his head like a wilting flower, becoming incredibly well-behaved.
Recalling how he'd been breaking things lately while working, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly…
What if Lord Ning dislikes him and just disposes of him directly…
"Compared to when Lord Ning and Lady Luo will return, I sympathize more with the Jiang Family…"
"Of all people to offend, they had to offend Lord Ning…"
Thinking of Ning Ye Chen's terror, Cai Se couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the Jiang Family.
With Lord Ning's personality, he would definitely not let the Jiang Family off!
"I'm afraid in a few days, the Jiang Family will disappear from the world."
Bai Yuan nodded in agreement.
"A few days? That's too long."
"If you wish, my lord, you could make the Jiang Family disappear right now."
"But it seems you don't want to eliminate the Jiang Family so directly."
Cai Se said lightly.
Ning Ye Chen hadn't ordered them to eliminate the entire Jiang Family directly, which could only mean one thing.
That was, he didn't want the Jiang Family to disappear so directly yet; otherwise, eliminating the Jiang Family would be a matter of minutes...
Just as the three of them were chatting casually, a gentle knock suddenly sounded at the courtyard gate.
Someone's here?!
Has my lord returned?!
Cai Se and the other two were startled, and quickly stood up obediently, pretending to work.
Sweeping the floor, wiping the tables…
At this moment, Cai Se and the other two were full of doubts.
According to reason, when the master and the madam came home, they definitely wouldn't deliberately conceal their auras and footsteps.
Why hadn't they heard any sound at all?
Soon, the courtyard gate slowly opened, and a beautiful woman with a delicate, cold, and peerlessly beautiful face, and a dignified figure, gently stepped into the courtyard. Her beautiful eyes surveyed the surroundings with interest, and she murmured softly:
"So this is where the Demon Sovereign hides…"
After searching for over a hundred years, she had finally found it…!
Meng Niu and the other two looked at the newcomer with puzzlement, and silently stopped what they were doing.
Eh?
They thought it was the adult who had returned, which startled them! Turns out it wasn't the adult!
Meng Niu spoke directly, displeased:
"Hey, who are you!"
"Don't you know you can't just barge into other people's homes!"
In the past few days, apart from Qi Yuan, there had been no one else coming and going.
Seeing a stranger arrive, Meng Niu's first reaction was to think she had come to the wrong door, and wanted to send her away.
Cai Se quickly stopped Meng Niu, fearing he would cause trouble. She politely stepped forward to Yue Qing You and asked respectfully, "May I ask who you are looking for?"
"The master and his wife are not at home at the moment."
"Not at home…"
Yue Qing You murmured softly, looking somewhat disappointed.
However, she had already waited for over a hundred years; waiting a little longer wouldn't matter.
During this time, she also wanted to learn more about the Demon Sovereign's current life…
Yue Qing You stepped into the courtyard on her own, her beautiful eyes curiously scanning her surroundings, ignoring Meng Niu and the others.
This caused Cai Se to slightly furrow her brow.
Who is this person? She's being too presumptuous!
If she didn't want to cause trouble for the master, she would have already thrown her out!
Seeing Yue Qing You still preparing to enter the hall, Cai Se and the other two could no longer endure it. They blocked her path and asked with displeasure,
"May we ask who you are, miss?"
"Entering another person's home without permission is quite rude, wouldn't you say?"
Yue Qing You heard this and stopped, her calm and beautiful eyes turning to look at Cai Se and the other two. What she said next stunned everyone.
"Devouring Heaven Divine Python, Chaos Demon Ox, Titan Great Ape…"
"I didn't expect the human realm to still have the bloodline of ancient demon beasts."
"It's just that their strength is a bit too weak. They only recently stepped into the Immortal Realm, right…"
Cai Se and the other two stared wide-eyed, their expressions filled with shock.
This person saw through their disguises with just a glance!
They were already in the Immortal Realm!
This was already the most top-tier cultivation in the human realm!
Even Luo Ru Ying hadn't been able to see through their disguised identities, yet this suddenly-arrived woman had seen through them with a single look!
Although there wasn't a trace of cultivation aura on this person, they were definitely not ordinary!
Cai Se and the other two's expressions immediately turned serious. They exchanged a glance, and without hesitation, they attacked together!
They had heard that someone had been trying to hunt down the Madam and the Young Miss. This woman might be the one!
With the master away, protecting the home was also their duty!
They would subdue her first!
Watching the three of them charge forward, Yue Qing You's expression remained unchanged as she spoke calmly:
"Get down."
In an instant, Cai Se and the other two's minds jolted. Their bodies seemed to be controlled by an unknown force, and they immediately dropped to the ground!
Their bodies were completely unresponsive!
This wasn't a pressure exerted by spiritual power that forced them to their knees, because she wasn't emitting any spiritual energy.
Instead, her words seemed to possess a mysterious magic, controlling their bodies and compelling them to obey!
They didn't have the slightest ability to fight back!
This was only the second time since meeting Ning Ye Chen that they had felt such terror and helplessness!
Yue Qing You stood in front of Cai Se and the other two, looking down at them. She furrowed her brow slightly, a hint of disdain in her voice:
"Too weak."
"Are you three the Demon Sovereign's newly adopted pets?"
"Demon Sovereign...?"
"Pets, pets...?"
Cai Se raised her head, stunned and confused.
Was the Demon Sovereign that this woman spoke of the same one...?
They, the three of them, were, after all, powerhouses of the Immortal Realm, yet in this woman's words, they were treated as pets...
But considering that person's strength, it seemed that calling the three of them pets wasn't entirely wrong...
