Chapter 136 - Don't You Even Think About Separating Me From Her Majesty!
“An Yao, This Empress asks you, are you carrying any spirit stones, spirit fluids, or Spirit Recovery Pills—any kind of medicine to restore spiritual energy?”
After An Yao's emotions had gradually stabilized, Long Yue, her eyes full of anticipation, asked a crucially important question.
Although An Yao's arrival was unexpected, her appearance had undoubtedly brought her a renewed hope of returning to the Immortal-Demon Continent!
As long as she was carrying any spirit medicine to restore spiritual energy, even just a little, if it could let her temporarily recover a certain amount of her cultivation, enough to open her storage ring, then she could take out the spirit medicines she had stored inside!
Under her expectant gaze, An Yao nodded lightly.
“Your Majesty, this subordinate did indeed bring some spirit stones and spirit medicines.”
Long Yue was ecstatic, excitedly grabbing An Yao's shoulders.
“Quick! Take out the spirit stones and medicines!”
Seeing Long Yue so excited and joyful, An Yao was at a loss for words, a troubled look on her face.
“Um… My deepest apologies, Your Majesty the Empress. This subordinate did bring spirit stones and medicines, but... they've all been used up…”
Long Yue's face fell in disappointment. The flame of hope that had been ignited in her heart was once again mercilessly doused.
“Your Majesty, this subordinate deserves death! I didn't even think to save some spirit stones and medicine for you!”
An Yao lowered her head to apologize, full of guilt and self-reproach.
She had used the spirit stones for other things. As for the spirit fluid, her only thought had been to quickly snatch Her Majesty back from the Demon Sovereign's grasp, so during the fight just now, she hadn't hesitated to consume her last remaining vial.
“Forget it, forget it. What's used is used…”
Long Yue waved her hand in resignation, quickly recovering from her disappointment.
It would be best to find a hope of returning, but if not, the worst that could happen is that she would stay here forever.
“It's getting late. You can sleep in the living room next door tonight.”
Lin Fan glanced at the clock on the wall, then brought a spare set of bedding out from the bedroom and tossed it in front of An Yao.
When he had bought various daily necessities for Meizhi and the others, he had also replaced the old bedding. He hadn't thrown the old set out yet, so it was perfect for her to make do with.
“Eh! Lord Demon Sovereign, you're going to let her sleep in our apartment?”
Hearing this, Mokui and the others couldn't help but look at An Yao with disgust.
A mere member of the Immortal Race is worthy of sleeping in the same apartment as us?
What's more, she was greatly disrespectful to Lord Demon Sovereign and even dared to attack him. The fact that he didn't kill her was already an act of great mercy.
In their opinion, she should be sleeping on the streets!
“No objections allowed.”
Lin Fan ignored Mokui's complaint and turned to look at Meizhi.
“Meizhi, once she's over there, you'll be in charge of her arrangements.”
“Yes, Lord Demon Sovereign.”
Meizhi bowed to accept the order.
Faced with Lin Fan's arrangement, An Yao frowned, also expressing her dissatisfaction:
“Demon Sovereign! I will not leave Her Majesty's side for even half a step!”
“I am Her Majesty the Empress's personal handmaiden! We are inseparable! Don't you even think about separating me from Her Majesty!”
It was because she wasn't by the Empress's side before that the Demon Sovereign had an opportunity to take advantage. Now that she has returned to her side, she will absolutely not give the Demon Sovereign any more chances!
If Her Majesty is left alone with the Demon Sovereign, who knows what kind of sweet talk he'll use to bewitch her further!
She will be the one to protect Her Majesty! ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ noveⅼfire.net
Before Lin Fan could speak, Long Yue at his side spoke first.
“Your Majesty, rest assured! With me, An Yao, here, I will absolutely not let the Demon Sovereign have any improper opportunities with you!”
An Yao turned to look at Long Yue, a hand on her chest, her face full of determination and loyalty.
“An Yao… you should still go sleep next door…!”
Long Yue gripped An Yao's shoulders, stared into her eyes, and commanded her with great solemnity.
She had specifically rented a new apartment to send Meizhi and the others next door. During the day, she and Lin Fan were both busy with streaming and work. The evenings were the only time they could finally get a little time alone together.
How could a couple's private nightlife be disturbed by others!
An Yao stared blankly at Long Yue, for a moment wondering if she had misheard.
In the Immortal Realm, she was the only person allowed to enter Her Majesty the Empress's bedchamber. She had always been the one to serve by Her Majesty's bedside.
And now, in order to be with the Demon Sovereign, Her Majesty was actually telling her to go sleep next door…?
“Your Majesty, y-you must be joking, right…?”
An Yao gave a sheepish smile, unwilling to accept this reality, hoping in her heart that it was just a little joke between them.
The scene changes. With a SLAM, as a door closed, An Yao was pushed out, holding her bedding and luggage.
Even now, she still hadn't come back to her senses. She stood rooted to the spot, dazed, blinking in disbelief.
It seems... I've been kicked out...
“Don't just stand there in a daze. Come with me.”
Meizhi roused the dazed An Yao and led her into their apartment next door.
“This is the living room. From now on, this will be your area. You can sleep on the sofa or on the floor, whatever you want.”
“That's the kitchen. You can use it if you want to cook, but remember to turn off the gas when you're done.”
“Also, that's the only toilet and bathroom in the apartment. You're permitted to use it if you need to.”
“Remember this. This is all a gracious gift from Lord Demon Sovereign. Be grateful for it!”
Meizhi pointed to the various areas of the apartment, introducing them to An Yao.
Although he held no goodwill toward the Immortal Race, An Yao was, after all, Madam's person, and Lord Demon Sovereign had ordered him to take full responsibility for her arrangements and care. Naturally, he had to respectfully obey his Lord's decree and fulfill his duties.
An Yao stood where she was, holding her bedding, and looked around the room.
To think that one day, she would be living under the roof of the Demon Race…
“Do you require my help?”
Meizhi asked, gesturing to the bedding and luggage in An Yao's hands.
An Yao snorted, carried her bedding and luggage to the living room by herself, and began to lay out her bed on the floor by the sofa.
“People from the Immortal Race are as arrogant as ever. Meizhi, just don't bother with her.”
Mokui said, uninterested. She waved her hand and turned to go back into her room.
“I'm going to play games~”
Yingnü gave An Yao a hostile glance, then followed Mokui back into the room.
“Little girl from the Immortal Race, if you dare to do anything out of line here, you'd better be careful. Don't blame This King for not warning you.”
Longye gave a cold smile, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs, and then also turned and went back to his room.
“If you need anything, just tell me.”
“I have to work tomorrow, so I'm heading back first.”
Meizhi also left after saying his piece.
An Yao frowned as she watched Meizhi's retreating back, extremely confused.
What on earth are these demons up to in this world…
An Yao didn't think about it anymore. After making her bed, she lay down under the quilt and stared blankly at the ceiling, a deep sense of unreality washing over her.
First, she had arrived in a strange world with no spiritual energy. In order to find Her Majesty, she had starved, been chased away by mortals, slept in the woods, and been bitten by mosquitoes. And now, she was sleeping in the territory of the Demon Race.
Of course, the most unbelievable thing of all was that Her Majesty the Empress was together with the Demon Sovereign…
If the elders of the Immortal Realm were to find out about this, it would be a catastrophe. Once the news spread, the entire Immortal Realm would probably be thrown into turmoil…
