"Oh, that's alright then." Liu Jinli breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly noticed that his daughter's attitude was a bit off. He frowned and said, "Xinrong, that's your husband. Why are you acting like this?"
"Me? What do I look like?" Liu Xinrong found Liu Jinli's words ridiculous and looked at him as if he were an idiot.
“Your injured husband is lying inside. Shouldn’t you be worried?” Liu Jinli finally realized that something was wrong.
Yu Jinshuo is injured, why is Liu Xinrong not worried at all, but so calm?
In the past, Liu Xinrong would have been so anxious and distraught that she would have cried her eyes out.
“I already said it’s just a superficial injury, nothing serious at all. It will be fine after a few days of rest. What’s the rush?” Liu Xinrong found Liu Jinli’s question strange and childish, and gave him an impatient look.
“Xinrong, you weren’t like this before. Didn’t you like Yu Jinshuo a lot?” Liu Jinli felt more and more that something was wrong with his youngest daughter.
“The past is the past, and people have to grow up,” Liu Xinrong said calmly. “Dad, why don’t you sit down and rest for a while?”
After saying that, ignoring Liu Jinli's astonished gaze, Liu Xinrong sat down next to him and slowly sipped her sweet soup.
"Xinrong..." Liu Jinli called out softly, but didn't know what to say next, so he just sat down quietly to the side.
His daughter is acting a bit strangely now, but he is more concerned about Yu Jinshuo's situation.
I hope everything is really alright.
The soldiers' extensive search of the royal city had already alarmed the nobles and dignitaries. Upon hearing the news, the Demon Lord also arrived at the royal palace and went directly into the inner chamber.
"What happened?" The Demon Lord looked at Yu Jinshuo, whose entire body was swollen, with a full circle of swelling. It would be a lie to say he wasn't surprised.
Who dares to mess with Yu Jinshuo in the demon realm?
Even disregarding the fact that he is a prince, Yu Jinshuo's own seventh-level demon power is not to be underestimated. How could he have been beaten like this?
"It's alright, we'll find that person soon. I'm going to skin him alive." Yu Jinshuo's swelling was slowly subsiding after the medicine was applied.
Speaking has become much smoother, and there are no difficulties.
"Who exactly is that person?" the Demon Lord asked in surprise. "Have you gotten into some trouble again outside?"
"Hmph, what trouble could I possibly cause?" Yu Jinshuo said with a sneer. "I'm not Yu Xinyi. I know how to behave properly."
Yu Jinshuo's words made the Demon Lord frown slightly, and he sighed softly: "Your temper is too strong and too domineering. You've really caused trouble, and you probably don't even know it yourself."
"Even if there is trouble, there is no need for the Demon Lord to solve it. I am free to do as I please." Yu Jinshuo completely ignored the Demon Lord's words.
"Go find people, no problem, but don't harass the people!" Seeing that Yu Jinshuo wouldn't listen to advice, the Demon Lord had no choice but to say what he cared about most.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Yu Jinshuo sneered. "Once we find that person, everything will be fine."
Seeing that Yu Jinshuo said this, the Demon Lord didn't say anything more. He knew that Yu Jinshuo wouldn't care what he said now, so he could only let him be.
Turn around and leave. Staying in the same room with Yu Jinshuo any longer would really drive me crazy.
The Demon Lord casually asked Liu Xinrong some questions, only to find that she couldn't explain anything at all. The Demon Lord was speechless at the couple's behavior.
What kind of couple are they?
Just as dawn broke, a soldier rushed in to report: "Your Highness, the person has been found."
"Alright, I'll go right away!" Yu Jinshuo struggled to get up, but apart from the intense pain from being beaten, he felt fine.
He only found out after he returned last night that he had only some superficial injuries and that they would not endanger his life, so he was even more relieved.
Even if that man was highly skilled, he still exercised restraint in his actions, taking into account the man's status.
As a prince of the demon realm, if someone were to truly offend him, that man would know he wouldn't escape unscathed.
"Lead the way," Yu Jinshuo ordered, but the soldier kneeling on the ground did not immediately get up to lead the way. Instead, he kept stammering, "But...but..."
"Just lead the way, stop talking nonsense!" Yu Jinshuo snapped impatiently.
The Demon Lord, noticing something was amiss, asked, "What's wrong?"
The Demon Lord's words completely saved the soldiers from their predicament, and the soldiers hurriedly reported: "The person Your Highness wants to capture is accompanied by Miss Liu."
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, he immediately relaxed. Whether to go or not, whether to take action or not, was up to the Demon Lord and his group to decide; it had nothing to do with them.
"How could she be there?" The Demon Lord frowned. In the Demon Realm, the only person who could be addressed as Miss Liu with such respect was Liu Lanyan, who was by the side of the Demon God. There was absolutely no other one who could be considered.
The Demon Lord turned his head and saw Yu Jinshuo's unfriendly expression, but there was no shock on his face. The Demon Lord immediately understood: "You knew all along that that person was with Liu Lanyan."
It was clearly a question, but the Demon Lord phrased it with absolute certainty.
"So what if we're together?" Yu Jinshuo chuckled coldly, his nonchalant attitude infuriating the Demon Lord, who trembled with rage.
The Demon Lord immediately waved his hand, dismissing all the soldiers and others, leaving only himself and Yu Jinshuo in the room: "You know that Liu Lanyan is the Venerable Lord's person, are you trying to offend the Venerable Lord?"
"Offend the Lord?" Yu Jinshuo showed no fear whatsoever. "If I go, the Lord will probably thank me."
Yu Jinshuo's inexplicable words made the Demon Lord frown, wondering if Yu Jinshuo had been beaten and injured his brain, causing him to lose his mind.
"Liu Lanyan was having an affair with a man behind the Lord's back. If I hadn't discovered it, the Lord would probably still be in the dark, right?" Yu Jinshuo smiled sinisterly, then suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly walked to the table, picked up a pen, and wrote a short letter.
After it was installed, he called out loudly, "Someone come here."
"Your Highness," a subordinate immediately entered and bowed respectfully.
"Go and deliver this letter to the Lord." After Yu Jinshuo gave the order, his subordinates immediately left.
"What are you trying to do?" The Demon Lord looked at Yu Jinshuo's inexplicable actions with confusion.
"Of course, we'll notify the Lord to arrest them and see what his most beloved woman has been doing behind his back!" Yu Jinshuo laughed heartily. "I really want to see what kind of expression the Lord will have when he sees his precious woman leaning on another man's arms."
"It must be very interesting."
"Nonsense!" the Demon Lord shouted at Yu Jinshuo. "What do you think you're doing?"
"You'll soon find out what I'm planning," Yu Jinshuo said through gritted teeth. "No one has ever beaten me like this and then gotten away with it without paying any price."
After saying that, he ignored the demon lord's voices trying to stop him and strode away. Even though his movements were too intense and aggravated his injuries, Yu Jinshuo did not stop.
He's completely excited right now, thinking about how to get revenge.
Wasn't that man beating him up?
He wanted to see if that man would still dare to be so arrogant when he was beaten to a pulp.
As for Liu Lanyan… a cold, fierce glint flashed in Yu Jinshuo’s eyes.
Do you think he's not good enough, and that getting close to the demon god will solve everything?
Did they think that having a demon god as a backer meant they could belittle him at will?
Don't they even know who Yu Jinshuo is?
Is a prince of the demon realm, the heir to the demon lord, someone she can casually rebuke?
Having gained the favor of the demon god, she was eager to feign ignorance and avoid her engagement to him, instead running off to climb the social ladder by marrying the demon god.
Today he's going to tell Liu Lanyan that climbing high branches isn't so easy.
Imagine what would happen if the Demon God found out about her intimate encounter with that other man.
Since she dares to look down on him, then she has no reason to exist.
If he can't have the person he wants, then destruction is the only option.
Yu Jinshuo clenched his fists and strode forward, his blood seemingly boiling. He absolutely would not allow anyone to disobey him.
No one will do.
Chapter 97 Not Giving an Inch
Early morning is supposed to be the quietest time of day.
Aside from people who get up exceptionally early, who would get up this early for no reason?
Today, however, things are completely different. Squads of soldiers are moving through the streets, and the first to be affected are the taverns and inns.
In each guest room, all the guests were called out and asked to compare themselves to the portrait in order to find the person they were looking for.
The situation became quite dramatic when they finally found the person.
The person they were looking for wasn't hiding at all; he was casually sitting in a window seat on the second floor, having breakfast.
Breakfast was incredibly lavish; all the inn's specialty breakfast dishes were served.
The handsome man wore a light blue robe, and he resembled a pine tree standing tall and strong amidst the snow on a high mountain peak, exuding a powerful and vigorous aura from the inside out.
He possesses a chilling, aloof quality reminiscent of high mountain snow, making one feel both his handsome appearance and a reluctance to approach him, for fear of profaning him.
This man kept bringing food from the table to Liu Lanyan, placing different dishes in front of her so she could try them, keeping what she liked and taking away what she didn't.
When a group of menacing soldiers stormed up to the second floor, all the other diners were so frightened that they put down their chopsticks and scurried away from the soldiers in fear.
Only Liu Lanyan's table remained completely unresponsive, as if the menacing soldiers were just ordinary diners, having nothing to do with them whatsoever.
This action stunned the soldiers. Not one of them dared to step forward. After exchanging glances, they were forced by the man's cold aura to slowly retreat down the stairs. A group of people blocked the first floor and watched, while a large group of soldiers surrounded the inn.
They were waiting, waiting for Yu Jinshuo to come over.
Yu Jinshuo only said he wanted to find that person, but he didn't say he wanted them to arrest him, so they didn't take that risk.
By the time Yu Jinshuo arrived, the entire street was already packed with people.
The common people were all craning their necks to look at the inn with curiosity, and some of the bolder ones even climbed onto the roofs of the nearby houses to find a good spot to observe how things were going.
Surrounded by his trusted subordinates, Yu Jinshuo went directly to the inn. Thanks to the special medicine, there was no swelling on his face, only some pain in his body.
Fortunately, the clothes cover it up so you can't really tell. If you really look closely, you'd only see that she's a little fatter than usual.
"Your Highness, that person is up there." The soldier quickly saluted as soon as he saw Yu Jinshuo approaching.
Yu Jinshuo walked into the inn without uttering a sound. As he was about to go up the stairs, he suddenly asked, "Has the Lord not arrived yet?"
"This..." The soldier looked around but couldn't see the Lord's whereabouts. How could he know whether the Lord had arrived or not?
Is it possible for him to know or control the whereabouts of the Lord?
