But now.

The gifts were received in such abundance that one might even say it was to the point of numbness from receiving gifts.

The Dragon Lord’s Envoy had already lost much interest in the resources from an ordinary Devil Emperor.

After shifting his gaze from Cheng Guang, he glanced at Gu Wushuang a few times.

The Dragon Lord’s Envoy’s eyes flickered slightly, as if plotting something.

Gu Wushuang, sensing the Dragon Lord’s Envoy’s gaze upon her, slightly lifted her autumn-water-like eyes to meet his.

The gaze of the two met directly.

The Dragon Lord’s Envoy stared at Gu Wushuang, and at first, he felt nothing in particular; rather, he looked back with interest, intrigued by her gaze.

It seemed he had never found someone bold enough to gaze at him before.

Or rather, it seemed no Devil Emperor had ever dared to stare at him.

Didn’t she know how disrespectful this act was?

The Dragon Lord’s Envoy inwardly scoffed, but his face betrayed no anger, instead letting out a light chuckle.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard the clear sound of a bell ringing near his ear.

The Dragon Lord’s Envoy turned his head toward the direction from which the sound of the bell came.

He saw a group of red-robed maids, escorting a woman as they made their way out from the depths of the Southern Courtyard along a shaded path.

The woman, surrounded by the red-robed maids, had skin fairer than snow, with a pair of silver bells hanging around her ankles chiming pleasantly without noise as she walked leisurely.

The Dragon Lord’s Envoy eyed the silver bells around the woman’s ankles briefly, then slowly lifted his gaze to take in her appearance.

With just one look, his amber eyes could not help but reveal a moment of distraction and amazement.

This admiration was not lessened in the slightest compared to when he had seen Gu Wushuang.

In some ways, it was even more intense.

As the Dragon Lord’s Envoy evaluated the new arrival.

The other Devil Emperors in the Southern Courtyard also turned their attention to the Saintess of the Green Hill Fox Clan, who was being escorted by a group of red-robed maids.

With just one look at the Saintess of the Green Hill Fox Clan, the Devil Emperors couldn’t help but click their tongues in admiration.

“The appearance of members of the Green Hill Fox Clan is mostly extraordinary, with the Saintess being the finest among them; such exquisite beauty, no wonder the Dragon Lord took a liking to her.”

“Indeed, if the Dragon Lord had not made his intentions known, how could the Saintess of the Green Hill Fox Clan, who traditionally does not marry out, become the tool other clans use to continue their lineage?”

“What a pity, what a pity.”

Many Devil Emperors voiced their admiration.

However, some Devil Emperors held a different opinion. After glancing at the Saintess of the Green Hill Fox Clan, they couldn’t help but frown slightly and turn their mouths in disdain.

The robust man with bull horns, for instance, thought the body of the Saintess of the Green Hill Fox Clan was too thin.

After transforming, she lacked any fur on her body.

Not attractive at all.

The robust man with bull horns and some other Devil Emperors, although they didn’t find the Saintess of the Green Hill Fox Clan compatible with their aesthetic preferences, still had to admit—

The Most Proficient in the art of charm was the Green Hill Fox Clan, and even if the robust man with bull horns and the other Devil Emperors didn’t find the Saintess that attractive,

They were still influenced by her constitution and Divine Power, and couldn’t help developing a slight fondness for this Saintess of the Green Hill.

And while in the Southern Courtyard, all the Devil Emperors’ eyes were fixed upon the Green Hill Fox Clan Saintess.

Cheng Guang also raised his eyes slightly, directing his gaze toward the Green Hill Fox Clan’s Saintess.

The moment he saw the Green Hill Fox Clan’s Saintess.

Cheng Guang’s body trembled involuntarily, his eyes widening slightly.

“Is this…”

“Bai Shuxuan??”

“Is it really her???”

Cheng Guang watched Bai Shuxuan, encircled by several red-robed maids, with astonishment.

While shocked, Cheng Guang wasn’t completely surprised.

After all, when the Saintess of the Green Hill Fox Clan was mentioned, Cheng Guang had already guessed that this Saintess might very well be Bai Shuxuan.

He was not yet certain.

But now, as Cheng Guang saw Bai Shuxuan, the woman about to marry the Dragon Lord and bear his progeny, the stone in his heart did not fall but rose even higher.

Gazing at Bai Shuxuan in the crowd, Cheng Guang lowered his eyelids, pondering whether he should rescue her.

If he were to save Bai Shuxuan, he would face two problems.@@novelbin@@

First, what was Bai Shuxuan’s own attitude toward marrying the Dragon Lord?

If Bai Shuxuan was willing,

Then what business did Cheng Guang have to interfere?

And the second problem.

Was it truly necessary to provoke the mysterious and unfathomable Dragon Lord prematurely for the sake of Bai Shuxuan, who once wanted to kill him?

If Bai Shuxuan caused any disturbance to the Dragon Lord, Cheng Guang’s subsequent plans to act against the Dragon Lord’s Envoy, to hold him hostage, and to enter the Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils and the Ten Thousand Mile Dragon Cave in search of the great Buddha would be completely ruined.

As Cheng Guang pondered, his eyes stayed on Bai Shuxuan’s within the crowd, momentarily lost in thought.

While Cheng Guang was lost in contemplation,

he suddenly felt a gaze sweeping over from the crowd.

Cheng Guang was slightly startled, and then, coming back to his senses, he discovered that Bai Shuxuan’s eyes, sparkling with a faint pink luster, were staring intensely at him.

Upon seeing Cheng Guang,

a complex array of emotions surged in those pale-pink eyes.

Disbelief.

Silent astonishment.

Anger mixed with sorrow.

Melancholy, despair.

Bai Shuxuan stared blankly at Cheng Guang in the crowd, her heart which she thought had died, suddenly pounded a few times upon seeing him.

Not because it was revived,

but because she was startled.

“How is he so similar to the Princely Heir?”

“Isn’t the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir still in Great Zhou? How could he come to the Eight-layered Devil Realm?”

“Is it the same person? Or do they just look alike?”
