Chapter 42 Believe it or not, I'll tell the princess
Why not seek help from the Wind Spirit Ghost Clan? Is there some leverage or conflict involved?
"Princess." He bowed with his hands clasped, looking utterly unfamiliar.
But Zhong Liyu didn't care about his coldness at all; instead, she stood right in front of him and blocked his way.
"Young Master Yan, what I said before still stands. What's so good about you being with Zhongli Yueluo?"
She gently placed her hand on his shoulder and winked at him.
A gentle breeze stirred her hair and brushed against his face.
He had promised Zhongli Yueluo that if Zhongli Yu came to him again, he would agree to meet her.
For now, it's best to play hard to get.
He gently patted her hand with his fan: "Princess, what benefits will I get from cooperating with you?"
"Wouldn't it be better to conspire together on this Western Demon Mountain?" Her finger gradually moved to his chest and tapped it.
She revealed a very alluring smile.
He grabbed her hand, a barely perceptible glint of disgust flashing in his eyes.
Judging from her confident demeanor, she must have some kind of backing here.
"Your Highness has made such a bold claim. What is your backing? How can I agree to cooperate with you if you don't show me your trump card?"
He deliberately brought his face close to hers, his breath brushing against her ear.
"I can only tell you that almost all the major clans in West Demon Mountain are now siding with Gongshu, and my maternal clan will also be supporting him from behind."
"Zhongli Quanhuang is your sovereign and father, yet you want to usurp the throne for someone of a different surname?"
"Some things Yan Shaojun will naturally find out in the future. Am I saying Yan Shaojun agrees to cooperate with me?"
"I am honored to accept the Princess's kind invitation."
"However, I still need to make a three-point agreement with the eldest princess: if internal strife really breaks out, my Zheng clan will not participate in the infighting, but will only provide support."
"Just cheering and encouraging, without actually doing anything, is enough."
At that time, there will be no need for the forces of Wanmojian to attack the Zheng Clan first; instead, they can go directly to Ximoshan.
"Princess, why have you come to see me time and time again? The two young lords of the Wind Spirit Ghost Clan are here. Wouldn't it be better to get their help?"
Su Fengling hid behind a pillar and took in everything.
The shock in his eyes lingered for a long time.
He couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. He had been wondering why Yan Ruoyu didn't care about the princess, but it turned out that her heart was with the eldest princess!
He wanted to see all of this and then use the illusion to show it to the princess.
Let her see what kind of person this Young Master Zheng really is!
Thinking of this, he even felt a little smug. Wouldn't that mean the princess would belong to the two brothers?
He then shook his head, lost in thought, pressing himself against the pillar and listening intently.
Zhong Liyu put his arm around Yan Ruoyu's neck and said, "Young Master Yan isn't interested in these conditions, so I have another secret to tell you."
Her tone was seductive: "This is a secret that even she herself doesn't know."
"Oh?" His eyes darkened; he wanted to hear what the secret was.
Do you know the Blood Demon of Northern Demon Mountain?
Upon hearing this, both Su Fengling and Yan Ruoyu widened their eyes.
They had certainly heard of the vampires; to them, it was like a legendary race.
North Demon Mountain has never been open to the public.
To get in, you must collect the horns of the Zhen clan, the eyes of the Wind Spirit Twin Ghosts, and the blood of the Blood Demon.
However, the Blood Demon has always been entrenched in the Northern Demon Mountain, and no one has ever seen it.
His visit was prompted by a spy's report that vampires had appeared in the Western Demon Mountain.
Zhong Liyu spoke with such conviction that it seemed as if it were the truth.
"My sister, she is the child of the Blood Demon and the Medicine Deer!"
Su Fengling's pupils trembled slightly, realizing that her brother and Zhongli Yueluo were probably talking about this last night.
He clenched his teeth. Could she also control the demons?
His brother clearly already knew, so why was he acting so calm? What was he planning?
However, his eyes darted around, and he realized that he was currently in the Western Demon Mountain and couldn't do anything to the princess.
However, Yan Ruoyu was still capable; only one day after their marriage, he secretly met with the eldest princess behind her back.
Yan Ruoyu took a step back, something he hadn't expected, but he remained expressionless: "I can consider it."
"I'll wait for you to come find me." She ran her fingers across his cheek.
She swayed her slender waist as she walked past him, leaving behind a lingering fragrance.
Yan Ruoyu squinted her phoenix eyes and used her Xuan Gu fan to cover her nose.
He noticed that there seemed to be a strong gaze directed at him.
He knew without even guessing that it must be Su Fengling.
He deliberately walked in that direction and eventually stood in front of him.
Su Fengling twirled a plum blossom dart in his hand: "What, do you prefer the eldest princess to the princess?"
"Eavesdropping is not a good habit, little brother."
"What right do you have to call me brother!" He pointed a plum blossom dart at his face, his eyes flashing with malice.
He gently pushed the plum blossom dart away with his black bone fan: "Because I'm older than you."
She smiled gently, then walked away, fanning herself with her fan.
Su Fengling felt that Yan Ruoyu was far too bold.
How could they be so blatant? Aren't they afraid he'll tell Zhongli Yueluo?
"Do you believe I'll tell the princess?"
"Go ahead." He waved his fan, seemingly unconcerned. Su Fengling couldn't quite figure this person out.
But right now, he still needs to go back and confirm one thing with his brother: is the princess that person's daughter?
He flashed through the corridor and arrived at the courtyard before Su Fengjun.
She sat at the stone table, and Su Fengjun waited a while before pushing the door open and going in.
"Brother!" The voice was cold.
"What's wrong? Didn't you go out for a stroll? Why are you back so soon?"
He sat down at the stone table with a calm expression.
"You know she's that man's daughter, you should have done it!"
"I don't think she's that much of a threat, and besides, we're in West Demon Mountain right now, so it's not a good time to make a move."
"You're not reluctant to part with him, are you?" He moved his face closer to his, a murderous glint in his eyes, and narrowed them.
He didn't answer. Su Fengling clenched his fists. Anyway, the princess said she would come to them later. He would find an opportunity to make his move.
Zhongli Yueluo had no idea that Su Fengling was plotting to harm her behind her back.
He simply led He Yuhuan towards Ruoyu Courtyard.
They arrived at almost the same time, and he always had a gentle smile on his lips.
She also greeted him politely with a cupped hand: "Princess."
"Young Master Yan, I actually think Father's condition is also not right."
"I think Zhong Liyu and my stepmother might have already made a move," she said, clicking her tongue and frowning.
"You'd better write a secret letter back to the Zheng Clan to warn them about the border. Although there's the Heartless River separating them, the River Clan..."
She glanced at He Yuhuan, whose eyes darted around, looking somewhat dazed.
"The He family... they probably only know how to eat, and as long as there's a permit, they'll let it pass!"
