Qin's Moon: I'm really not the Holy Lord of the Demonic Sect

Chapter 105 The Demon Queen of the Heavenly Demon Society

Just as Yang Che analyzed, the two maids were indeed from Xueyi Fortress. They were the aunts of Lady Mingzhu and half-disciples personally trained by the former Xueyi Marquis. Their martial arts skills were already first-class. Even among the elite assassin group White Bird of Night, their strength would rank among the top.

What's even more remarkable is that, in addition to martial arts, the two women are also experts in medicine and poisons, and their combined skills are unparalleled. Madam Mingzhu relies on their assistance in her daily life.

It is precisely because of this that the two women held extremely high status in the East Palace area where Lady Mingzhu resided, and in a sense, they could be considered Lady Mingzhu's representatives.

For this meeting, Madam Mingzhu had the two women wait outside the palace gates to greet Yang Che, which was already quite a show of respect.

However, the two women clearly failed to grasp the deeper meaning behind Madam Mingzhu's words. Of course, they might have understood it, but that was precisely why they didn't want to greet Yang Che with a smile. They believed that Yang Che, a mere Minister of Works with no real power, was not worthy of such treatment from their mistress. However, Yang Che's harsh rebuke made the two maids suddenly remember that no matter how favored they were by Madam Mingzhu, they were still just maids, while Yang Che was the Minister of Works of the court. Even their mistress had to treat him with respect, and they had no right to be rude.

"Please forgive us, Grand Minister, we were being presumptuous. This way please, the Lady has been waiting for you in the hall for a long time." The two maids quickly stepped forward, bowed, and spoke with great humility.

Yang Che ignored the two maids and walked straight into the main hall.

The two maids watched Yang Che stride confidently into the main hall, their minds in a daze. For some reason, looking at his back as he entered the hall, they felt that their mistress's plan might not succeed today.

Although Madam Mingzhu had made ample preparations for today's meeting, and the two women had even put in a great deal of effort, they should have been absolutely certain of success. However, upon seeing Yang Che, their confidence in their mistress began to waver.

This Minister of Works is quite different.

The two women, having been trained by Marquis Xueyi, possessed exceptional insight. Just a moment ago, they actually sensed an aura in Yang Che that resembled that of their own Marquis.

But is that even possible?

Their lord is a direct descendant of the Marquis of Xueyi, the dignified Marquis of Xueyi of Han, who commands 100,000 soldiers. Even the great general Ji Wuye has to put aside his great general's airs in front of their lord.

How could a young Minister of Works possibly compare to their Marquis?

The moment Yang Che stepped into the main hall, he smelled a wisp of incense wafting from the depths of the hall.

Knowing that Lady Mingzhu would be unworthy of her title of "Azure Sea Tide Demoness" if she didn't cause trouble, Yang Che was naturally on guard.

It's important to understand that beautiful women are inherently dangerous, but bad women are even more dangerous, pushing the danger factor to the maximum.

The palace before us, even if it can't be called a dragon's den, is definitely a tiger's lair.

As Yang Che ventured deeper, he discovered that the entire hall was eerily silent, completely deserted. Considering that Madam Mingzhu's actions, though seemingly clever, were not actually that clever, Yang Che's vigilance deepened.

In the original trajectory, she was able to use herself as bait to frame Han Fei. This alone shows that she has her own cleverness, but when it comes to wisdom, it's really just so-so.

But it is precisely this kind of woman who likes to think she is clever that is the most dangerous, because ordinary logic can hardly predict her behavior, and she can suddenly do something big.

Many things are not so bad if it's the scheming of a clever person, but rather the sudden inspiration of a fool.

Right now, Yang Che saw this trend in Madam Mingzhu, whom he had never met but had long admired.

However, even if it were a dragon's den, Yang Che could still destroy it. Even if it were a tiger's lair, Yang Che would still go in and touch the big tiger inside. Having mastered martial arts and obtained the unique skills of three families, how could he be afraid of a small or large female demon?

Yang Che strolled forward until a curtain blocked his path.

It was called a curtain, but it was actually just a nearly translucent silk hanging between two beams, separating the inside from the outside world.

More importantly, through the semi-transparent curtain, Yang Che saw a figure, a reflection of someone lying on a soft couch, one hand supporting their cheek.

Through the delicate, undulating curves behind the curtain, one can see that it is a woman. Who could be the woman who suddenly appears in this empty hall?

The answer is self-evident.

The Sea Fairy.

If any other man saw this scene, he would either be terrified or agitated. Even Yang Che in the past might have been shaken and lost his composure.

Now?

Now, even if we disregard the fact that Yang Che has already mastered the Heaven-Mending Path, a martial art that allows one to maintain absolute composure, the scene before him would be nothing more than commonplace for him, even if he had no martial arts skills at all.

Back in Xianyang, Zhao Ji was far more generous than Lady Mingzhu. Yang Che was a man of experience, so how could he lose his composure over such a small scene?

"Yang Che greets Lady Mingzhu." Yang Che stepped forward and bowed outside the curtain.

"You're too kind, Minister Yang. I've invited you here today because I have a favor to ask," the figure behind the curtain said softly.

A voice, so ruthless yet capable of drawing one into its depths, reached Yang Che's ears from behind the curtain.

"I was told by Lady Hu that it would be my honor to paint a portrait of you, Madam," Yang Che said.

"Since Minister Yang already knows what I'm asking for, why not open the curtain? Does Minister Yang intend to paint my portrait through the curtain? Or does Minister Yang possess the ability to see through objects?" Lady Mingzhu said with a charming smile, her voice becoming increasingly melodious and enchanting.

If the owner of this voice were to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Sound, it's unimaginable how alluring she would become.

The best successor of the Yin Gui School has indeed appeared.

"In that case, I'll take the liberty." Yang Che stepped forward, reached out and pulled up the curtain. As the curtain was pulled up, the first thing that came into view was a pair of feet. The toes were round and small, adorned with red nails, and they slowly changed from curling up to stretching out, showing a dynamic beauty in a static state.

As the curtain was gradually drawn back, more and more scenery came into Yang Che's view. Following the smooth and crystal clear instep upwards, there was a section of calf, which was round, long and straight, like a lotus root that had been carefully washed after being taken out of the water. Then, moving upwards, it turned into a slightly upturned arc, and there was an even more rounded and indescribable shape.

Even more visually striking is the black stockings covering the glistening, jade-like surface, adorned with exquisite openwork patterns, the gaps between which reveal crystalline white.

The interplay of black and white creates a captivating charm; black embellishes the beauty of white, while white adds mystery to black.

Yang Che's gaze moved upwards until he saw the curves of the two legs gradually converge. Continuing upwards, Yang Che saw the fullest moon of the year. Unfortunately, the bright moon was obscured by dark clouds. Fortunately, the dark clouds were not so unkind; they only covered half of the moon and did not block the other half.

In a daze, Yang Che felt that a true circle does not necessarily have to be complete, and a semicircle has infinite possibilities.

A complete circle, however charming, is ultimately limited. On the contrary, a partially obscured semicircle, though limited by its obscured features, can evoke endless imagination.

The ultimate temptation lies between the finite and the infinite.

In that instant, Yang Che seemed to understand a principle: true allure is not a beautiful woman posing seductively in front of you, but rather a special quality that can evoke associations.

If this connection is severed, what good would it do if a celestial maiden descended to earth?

With this thought in mind, Yang Che felt completely at peace, and even when he saw more beautiful spring scenery, he remained calm.

Is the succubus trying to distract him?

Don't think about it.

As Yang Che looked at the Tide Demoness, the demoness was also sizing him up. She had first heard Yang Che's name from Hong Lian.

At that time, she regarded Yang Che as an insignificant figure, but she never expected that in a short period of time, Yang Che would become the Grand Minister of Works of Han and have his own position in the court.

Upon seeing Yang Che, Madam Mingzhu realized that she had truly underestimated him. Putting aside everything else—

With such looks alone, what woman wouldn't like him?

Madam Mingzhu looked Yang Che up and down. She saw that Yang Che was tall and straight, with delicate features that also exuded a heroic spirit. She could not find even the slightest flaw in him.

She had thought her cousin was already very handsome, but after seeing Yang Che today, she felt that her cousin was nothing special, not only in appearance but also in temperament.

Compared to the cold and aloof man before him, Bai Yifei's sinister and wicked charm paled in comparison.

Lady Mingzhu composed herself, smiled alluringly, and said, "Minister Yang, is my body worthy of being a painting?"

Yang Che was in a state of absolute calm at this moment. Faced with Madam Mingzhu's words, which were half boasting and half seductive, he generously appreciated them and said, "Exquisite and unparalleled, truly a masterpiece of nature."
