Chapter 637: Chapter 302 Old Acquaintances Reunite
Facing the newcomer, You Shuyang didn’t turn his head, merely lifting his eyelids.
"I believe I’ve mentioned that no one should bother me while I’m eating."
The guard hastily bowed his head.
"It’s not my fault, big brother, there’s a woman outside who insists on seeing you. I couldn’t stop her; she’s very powerful and is now waiting in the hall."
You Shuyang’s brows creased ever so slightly.
Just got back to Tianyuan Town and someone is already seeking me out.
Could it be Zhuo Xueer? After all, she’s the only one I’ve seen since I came back.
"Keep her steady. That woman is a master from Yangshen Hall, not easy to deal with."
"Rest assured, I have had humans serve her; absolutely no flaws will be exposed."
You Shuyang smiled.
Still rather clever.
"I reward you."
You Shuyang pointed at the corpse on the ground.
The guard immediately showed a ravenous look, pouncing onto it like a starving wolf tearing into its meal.
"Thank you, big brother!"
You Shuyang straightened his clothes and strode out.
People from the Foolish Underworld can’t be touched for the time being, have to maneuver carefully around them.
He rapidly made his way to the hall.
Before even stepping through the doorway, You Shuyang realized that the woman waiting in the hall was not Zhuo Xueer!
She was a completely unfamiliar woman I had never seen before.
What’s her background?
In the moment he paused, You Shuyang’s heart skipped a beat.
He had been hoping to avoid familiar faces under the guise of recuperating.
As for the close ones within You Mansion? They’re all but provisions; eat them up once the door is closed.
Before You Shuyang could figure out how to deal with the woman, she had already spotted him, her face lighting up with surprise as she sprang from her seat.
"Senior Brother You!"
Her face showed the desire to throw herself at him, yet she restrained herself with great effort, which allowed You Shuyang to relax a bit.
As a demon, he didn’t know how many humans he had eaten, how many human skins he had worn.
He could immediately capture, understand, and exploit the slightest emotional outpouring of humans like this.
Looks like an admirer.
And, I seem to be in a position of strength.
Judging by her appearance, if I’d already obtained this human guise, she wouldn’t react like this; there would be no restraint.
The intimacy between the two of us stops beyond the level of siblings, yet not quite reaching the tipping point of outright declaration.
With a smile on his face, You Shuyang spoke gently.
"Why have you come?"
"I, I heard that Senior Brother You were injured, so I came specifically to visit... Senior Brother You, was your trip to Jianjia Village smooth? Did you encounter any Great Demon that even you were injured..."
Seeing the woman’s face filled with concern, You Shuyang’s smile grew wider.
Admiration is the furthest emotion from understanding.
This woman is not a concern.
"Madam Suo Fengxiang, my master is still injured. If there are missions from Yangshen Hall, please lend my master a hand."
Behind him, the voice of the butler whose heart he had devoured just moments ago arose.
No need to look back to know that his subordinate had donned the butler’s skin and came with news to support me.
So that’s it, also someone from Yangshen Hall.
Right, all those close to this body, directly or indirectly, should have some ties with Yangshen Hall.
The identity of the number one person under Yangshen Hall’s Reserve Deputy Captain is useful.
Sadly, I cannot maintain this disguise for too long; sooner or later, flaws will show.
Thus, I must maximize benefits swiftly before being discovered, then shed the skin and flee this place.
"This, of course! Your business is mine, Senior Brother You. I will certainly help you!"
Suo Fengxiang’s cheeks were slightly flushed.
Standing so close to the object of her yearning, she noticed nothing amiss, her mind consumed by thoughts like...
"Ahhh, Senior Brother You is still so suavely handsome! Even injured, he’s so attractive!!"
"Control! Control! I must not lose composure in front of Senior Brother You... His magnificent demeanor, just looking at him makes one insatiable!"
"Zi liu! On one side is the unattainably lofty Senior Brother You, on the other is the adorable yet fearsome Diao Deyi, so torn, so torn!"
"No! I want them both!"
"Senior Brother You is injured now, it’s an opportune moment for me to move in close, to care for him personally. Diao Deyi, now valued by Madam Zhuo Xueer, surely has endless tasks, just in need of a master like me to lend him a hand, to support each other and foster feelings..."
As she thought of operating on two fronts, advancing equally, Suo Fengxiang’s cheeks burned even hotter.
She whispered softly.
"Since Senior Brother You is injured, you should hurry back to your room to rest. I’ll go supervise the kitchen for your medicinal soup, and when it’s ready, I’ll personally bring it over and, feed, feed you..."
By the end, it seemed she had reached her limit. Suo Fengxiang’s cheeks were so hot she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
She even dared not look at You Shuyang’s face, suddenly covering hers with her hands and running out—clearly towards the kitchen.
You Shuyang, the butler, and a bunch of servants stood in shock.
You Shuyang and the butler exchanged glances, then with a wave of his hand, he sent the servants away.
Once the hall was left with only the butler, You Shuyang’s face darkened as he spoke.
"A bit of trouble, that woman."
The butler followed up, "Big brother, should we..."
He made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Not suitable, after all, a person from Yangshen Hall, not inferior in strength; not someone we can easily take down. And whoever wears this skin could be exposed by day’s end. Then we would have no choice but to flee in a disheveled panic like the homeless dogs we are."
"Big brother, what should we do then?"
"Don’t rush, I’ll steady this woman for now. In the meantime, take some men and look around for local demons, see if they have any connections. It would be best if we could pretend to join them, temporarily attach ourselves to their name, and seek their protection. When the time is right, we consume them entirely, and as usual, we turn tail and go, settle somewhere else."
