“What? You tell me I’m picky? Do you mean to say I’m terrible?
Open your eyes and take a good look at me. Where exactly am I terrible?”
Jiang Jinhe was nearly frantic.
Obviously, Ye Yu’s words had instantly broken through her defenses.
So she kept leaning closer, trying to prove her beauty.
Ye Yu couldn’t help but laugh.
As expected, whether women or female demons, they care deeply about their appearance and won’t allow anyone to say otherwise.
That damn competitiveness!
And Ye Yu’s silent laughter made Jiang Jinhe even more annoyed.
“Don’t laugh. You have to explain it clearly today! If you can’t, I won’t let you go!”
Saying that, Jiang Jinhe immediately grabbed the sash of her colorful robe.
Seeing this, Ye Yu instinctively thought she was about to do something inappropriate.
He quickly grabbed her hands.
“Stop! Calm down. Actually, I was wrong. You’re very good, very good, alright?”
“What do you mean alright? You’re just brushing me off, right?”
Jiang Jinhe tried to pull her hands away again, but Ye Yu held them tightly.
“I’m not brushing you off. I said you’re very good, I’m not picky anymore. I have feelings for you and want to do other things.
Is that okay now?”
“No, and don’t even think about it!”
Jiang Jinhe’s tone remained cold, but the force in her hands relaxed.
Ye Yu couldn’t help but shake his head slightly.
As expected, women are just like that.
They’re like docile donkeys — go along with them and everything’s fine, go against them and they lose their minds.
Honestly, this kind of explosive behavior at the slightest disagreement is just too rash!
But at least it was settled!
To prevent Jiang Jinhe from dwelling too much on this matter,
Ye Yu immediately changed the subject: “You just said you wanted to cooperate, right? I agree to cooperate with you.
Just like you said before, I’ll help you get what you want, and I absolutely won’t lay a finger on it.
How about that?”
Hearing this, Jiang Jinhe’s expression immediately softened.
She was about to speak but then stopped.
She even took half a step back, looking at Ye Yu oddly.
“You’re acting strange!”
“What do you mean strange now?”
Ye Yu felt like crying without tears.
You were the one begging to cooperate, I agreed, and now you say I’m strange.
Are you crazy?
In fact, Jiang Jinhe wasn’t crazy!
She was calmly observing Ye Yu.
Honestly, ever since she first met Ye Yu in the Conscience Workshop,
this inscrutable “male demon” mostly expressed refusal!
No matter how Jiang Jinhe tested or tried to win him over, it was useless.
But now, after her charm failed,
Ye Yu suddenly agreed to cooperate, even promising absolutely no ulterior motives.
That was really odd.
Completely different from the persona he had shown before.
How could Jiang Jinhe not be suspicious?
After thinking carefully,
she whispered, “I get it. Are you planning to cooperate with me for now, then once I find the thing, take it for yourself?
If that’s your plan, I advise you not to waste your effort. I won’t let you—”
Before she could finish,
Ye Yu indeed raised his hand and gave her a light bop on the head.
Jiang Jinhe was slightly stunned.
Isn’t this a childish game only demon kids play?
Why would Ye Yu do such an immature move?
Wait, ouch!
Jiang Jinhe covered her head with both hands, tears about to burst out.
Ye Yu’s face was icy cold: “You even tried to deduce my intentions? Do I look like a demon who robs things? If you still don’t believe me, I can swear on the Great Way. Will that put your mind at ease?”
Then, under Jiang Jinhe’s watchful eyes,
Ye Yu really swore on the Demon Way.
He declared that no matter what Jiang Jinhe got here, he would not touch it.
Honestly, the Great Way or such is important to anyone in the Six Realms.
But to Ye Yu, it was meaningless.
After all, Ye Yu was an immortal; the Demon Way didn’t match his immortal identity at all.
Swearing was no big deal.
Besides, Ye Yu had only heard of the Great Way, never seen it.
Truly, ignorance is bliss.
Even without these considerations, Ye Yu had no intention of snatching that qin from Jiang Jinhe.
It was her mother’s relic; he really didn’t care.
Seeing this, Jiang Jinhe forgot about the pain on her forehead, stunned on the spot.
She clearly hadn’t expected Ye Yu to swear so straightforwardly.
What did it mean? Did he really not intend to compete with her?
Such a huge change — what on earth was going on?
What made him change his mind?
The next moment,
Jiang Jinhe’s face flushed slightly.
Because she thought of a very “reasonable” possibility.
Could it be that Ye Yu really had feelings for her?
Otherwise, based on his previous temper, how could he be so straightforward?
That’s right, it must be!
Hmph, men — talk about being picky, but their bodies are the most honest!
You want to, but I might not!
But honestly, Ye Yu was quite good looking!
His cultivation was good too, a match for her.
But becoming demon partners — Jiang Jinhe was not ready for that.
Having been single all her life for seventy thousand years, she had never had a demon partner.
If suddenly one appeared, she wasn’t sure if she could get used to it.
“Hey, wake up.”
Ye Yu saw Jiang Jinhe silent and dazed, so he waved his hand in front of her face.
Murmuring to himself: “Could it be I hit her too hard just now and made her stupid? That can’t be. After all, she’s a demon king!”
“You’re the one—”
Jiang Jinhe forcibly swallowed the second half of her sentence.
Oh well, after all, he was a demon who liked her; couldn’t hurt her feelings too much.
At this moment, Jiang Jinhe was already certain Ye Yu secretly liked her, so his attitude had changed a lot.
But since they were still inside the secret realm, it wasn’t the place for romance.
Better to focus on the main task first!
So she said in a low voice, “Alright, just like we discussed before. You help me get what I want, and after we return, I’ll give you a high-grade demon immortal artifact as a gift!”
Ye Yu nodded.
He didn’t notice the difference in her tone.
Before it was a reward; now it was a gift.
This small detail carried a totally different meaning.
A reward implies payment for effort.
A gift can mean many things, like a token of affection.
The two were not comparable!
Then, Jiang Jinhe immediately made plans.
Under her arrangement, Ye Yu immediately started destroying the small town! The demon clan members of the town saw this and immediately rushed at Ye Yu,
as if swearing to kill him on the spot to vent their anger.
Jiang Jinhe then sat cross-legged on the spot and began chanting a bitter, difficult-to-understand demon script!
