When Jiang Jinhe jumped straight down from the top floor,
Ye Yu and Feng Zhenxin’s expressions grew very strange.
They had only one thought in mind:
Could it be that the city lord had taken the wrong medicine?
Why get so angry just because the Conscience Workshop was being forcibly entered by demons?
And just now you said it was because they were coveting your things?
Come on, the Conscience Workshop is only located inside your Jianyao City, it doesn’t belong to you personally.
Aren’t you overthinking this?
Wait, could it be that before she came, Feng Zhenxin had promised Jiang Jinhe something?
Why had they never heard about it before?
Ye Yu looked at Feng Zhenxin in confusion, who just spread his hands helplessly,
indicating he had no idea either.
Inside Jianyao City,
at this moment, the Conscience Workshop became extraordinarily radiant.
The reason was simple: numerous defensive formations wrapped it completely in layers, emitting dazzling light.
Jiang Jinhe leapt down and, seeing the many Conscience Workshop guards around, asked coldly, “What’s going on?”
The guards naturally recognized Jiang Jinhe—
the stunning female demon before them, the city lord of Jianyao City.
They quickly cupped their hands and replied, “Reporting, City Lord, a powerful female demon outside tried to force her way into the Conscience Workshop without permission.
Our companions stepped forward to stop her but were knocked down immediately, so we activated the defensive formations.”
Jiang Jinhe said curtly, “Cancel all the formations!”
“Ah, this...”
The guards were a bit confused and didn’t understand what the city lord meant.
But under Jiang Jinhe’s icy gaze, they had no choice but to deactivate the formations.
This wasn’t recklessness on her part,
but a very rational decision.
At her current cultivation level in late Demon King Realm,
if she couldn’t stop the opposing demon clan, then obviously these formations wouldn’t either.
Activating the formations was completely useless—better to just cancel them.
This way, no one would feel constrained.
As the layers of formations dissipated,
Jiang Jinhe finally saw the intruder demon—
a veiled woman with cultivation only at the Golden Demon Realm.
“This is the ‘powerful’ one you mentioned?
If you keep making a fuss like this, I’ll skin you all alive!”
Jiang Jinhe snorted coldly, clearly displeased.
The guards felt very wronged.
“City Lord, your cultivation is heavenly, so you don’t think much of it, but that female demon is indeed strong for us.
We stand at different heights; naturally, we see things differently.
How can you say we’re making a fuss?”
Indeed, the joys and sorrows of demons vary greatly.
Jiang Jinhe ignored the guards’ fragile feelings and looked at the female demon coldly.
“Who are you?
Do you know the rules here? Anyone who trespasses the Conscience Workshop dies!”
The female demon immediately lifted her veil, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.
Then she forcefully said two words:
“Ye Yu!”
Jiang Jinhe couldn’t help but furrow her brows slightly.
Why did this female demon look so familiar?
As if seen somewhere before.
And why call out Ye Yu’s name out of nowhere?
While Jiang Jinhe was deep in thought,
the guards behind her whispered, providing an answer.
“What a beautiful demon!
Hey, isn’t she the one on the wanted poster?”
“Now that you say it, it really is.”
“We’ve made it big! I heard the reward for finding her is ten million demon stones.
Do you think we’re the first to find her?”
“Shut up! She came on her own; what does the bounty have to do with you?”
Hearing this, Jiang Jinhe immediately recalled the wanted poster she had seen before.
The female demon before her was exactly the same as the one depicted on the poster.
Is this the demon Ye Yu has been searching for all along?
Suddenly, Jiang Jinhe’s heart tightened sharply,
and a strong sense of danger rose.
Damn it, she had only just become Ye Yu’s partner, and this woman had already come.
What bad luck.
If they were together, then what about her?
Jiang Jinhe’s demon power suddenly flared wildly,
but still clung to a sliver of hope.
Maybe their relationship wasn’t as lovers but more like brother and sister?
So Jiang Jinhe hurriedly asked,
“What is your relationship with Ye Yu?”
“Husband!”
Luo Ning answered immediately without hesitation.
Just those two simple words caused Jiang Jinhe to feel like she’d been struck hard.
So the worst fear had come true after all?
Then where did that leave her?
“Husband!”
Luo Ning repeated the term again.
Jiang Jinhe’s heart swelled with frustration.
“I get it, I get it, answering the same question twice—are you trying to annoy me?”
Soon, Jiang Jinhe realized Luo Ning wasn’t trying to provoke her,
but had truly seen her own husband.
A streak of light flashed by, tightly embracing Luo Ning.
Their deep, affectionate embrace softened the eyes of all demons present.
A costly search for a soulmate, finally reunited after months—
with a little polishing, surely a very beautiful story.
But among them, one demon stood out awkwardly from the crowd.
Jiang Jinhe’s expression darkened to the extreme.
She immediately said sternly, “No!”
Her voice was so loud the ground seemed to tremble.
Behind her, a ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) phoenix spirit appeared, spreading its wings and crying out.
Ye Yu and Luo Ning separated and turned to glare at Jiang Jinhe, dissatisfied.
“Hey, what’s your problem? Why ‘no’?”
“You two being together is not allowed!”
Jiang Jinhe hurried forward anxiously, continuing,
“If you two are together, then what about me?
We just became partners!”
At her words, the crowd erupted.
The Conscience Workshop guards’ eyes became playful.
“Oh, this just got interesting!
Thought it was a perfect happy ending for lovers, but turns out it’s a battle between two demons for a husband.
And one of the leads is the city lord herself.
Big scandal, definitely big scandal!”
Not only the guards found this amusing, but even Feng Zhenxin thought it was interesting.
At Ba’an Sea, Master and Jiang Jinhe were still at odds.
How did they become partners the night after returning from the sea?
Honestly, after entering the seabed, didn’t you go to the secret realm but do something naughty instead?
Tsk tsk, Master really is something else.
Taking down the city lord so quickly—impressive efficiency!
Ye Yu suddenly felt shocked and stepped back half a step.
“Jiang Jinhe, Jiang Jinhe, you can eat whatever you want, but don’t say things you can’t back up!
Who said we became partners?”
“I’m not making things up. We... we already did!”
A blush flashed across Jiang Jinhe’s face.
