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

Chapter 111 The Neighbor's Daughter Has Grown Up

When she was human, Chao Nu Yao was still very much like a human. She came from a prominent family, and her upbringing and temperament were first-class. Her appearance and figure were also impeccable. In addition, she was clever and eloquent. As long as she didn't scheme against you, being with her was a pleasant experience in every way.

In the following period, the Tide Demon once again transformed into Lady Mingzhu in the Han King's Palace, and Yang Che began to play the role of Sikong, who was proficient in painting, and painted various portraits for Lady Mingzhu.

There are portraits of people resting in their palaces, admiring flowers in the garden, and tasting food.

All kinds of portraits are available.

Lady Mingzhu admired her portrait, feeling both happy and secretly delighted. While receiving a portrait worth a thousand gold pieces was certainly a pleasant surprise, the thought that it was the master of the Holy Sect who had painted her portrait gave Mingzhu, a disciple of the Holy Sect who frequented the Yin Gui Sect, a unique and exciting experience.

Beside a pond, Lady Mingzhu held a jade bowl with an air of importance, scattering food for the fish in the pond. The once alluring chess piece was gone, and her former fierce aura had vanished, replaced by a touch of love and gentleness.

Like a virtuous wife and loving mother.

Yang Che observed Lady Mingzhu from afar, then put pen to paper. Some women of this era seemed to have an extraordinary talent in this area. Whether it was Zhao Ji or Lady Mingzhu at this moment, they were both very good at showing their beauty and could be called the most perfect models.

While Yang Che was busy painting, Madam Mingzhu suddenly frowned. In the distance, a pink figure rushed over. The wide skirt of the figure was like a cloud floating in the sky as she ran quickly, and the ribbons on her arms were swung behind her, fluttering in the wind.

In the Korean royal palace, there is only one person who would run around so recklessly, and that is Princess Hong-ryeon.

Seeing that Honglian was running in the direction she was from, and recalling Honglian's past willfulness, capriciousness, and sharp tongue, Madam Mingzhu felt a headache coming on.

The key point is that she really can't do anything to Honglian. Her expertise in palace intrigue is not suitable for Honglian. On the contrary, Honglian, relying on her young age, has often acted fiercely in front of her.

Although Honglian's little tricks couldn't do anything to Madam Mingzhu, she was still annoying.

Therefore, when Lady Mingzhu saw Honglian running towards her from afar, she felt impatient.

Yang Che, who was painting, naturally noticed Mingzhu's unusual reaction, and then saw Honglian running towards him.

Why is this little one here? Yang Che couldn't help but smile when he saw Honglian from afar. Although Honglian was willful, she was not unreasonable. Her innocent and chubby, pink face made her easy to like.

In their previous interactions, Yang Che could sense the little thoughts that Honglian had placed on him. Although Honglian was still young, who could dislike such a cute little princess?

However, because Honglian was only fifteen years old, Yang Che not only did not intend to respond to her little feelings for him, but also always wanted to tease her.

Yang Che also had similar thoughts when faced with the mature and intellectual Zi Nu.

It must be said that Yang Che has quite a few wicked tastes. To some extent, he is by no means a gentleman, but rather has the attributes of a villain, making him a well-deserved member of the demonic sect.

Honglian was also panting heavily from running all the way, but seeing that Yang Che was still some distance away from Madam Mingzhu and was just painting, she felt relieved.

She didn't like any of the women in the harem. They all looked like vixens and were more cunning than foxes, always thinking about how to bewitch her father.

Of all the women in the harem, she hated Consort Hu and Lady Mingzhu the most. Of course, if she had to rank the two in terms of how much she hated them, she would definitely hate Lady Mingzhu more.

Honglian had a gut feeling that Lady Mingzhu was the worst woman in the harem.

Therefore, when Honglian learned that Yang Che had been invited to the palace by Madam Mingzhu to paint today, her first thought was of a conspiracy.

She thought that Madam Mingzhu wanted to use this to scheme against Yang Che.

So, after getting rid of the female official who taught her etiquette, she went to find Yang Che and wanted to take him away from Madam Mingzhu to prevent him from being schemed against by her.

She was in a hurry and ran like a whirlwind. Fortunately, she was naturally active. Although she had little patience for anything and was neither good at academics nor martial arts, she was physically fit. She ran across most of the palace and was panting heavily, but she was still able to keep going.

Yang Che saw Hong Lian from afar, her head covered in sweat and her chest heaving with heavy breathing. While enjoying the sight, he couldn't help but feel a little touched. He could tell why Hong Lian had come in such a hurry.

Of all the women Yang Che met at this time, Honglian was the purest. Nongyu's affection for Yang Che stemmed from music, but that was because Yang Che had an extraordinary talent. Zhao Ji's feelings for Yang Che, on the other hand, came from desire.

After Empress Dowager Xia passed away, no one could control Zhao Ji anymore. The widowed empress wanted to find a lover. At the right place and the right time, Yang Che happened to appear, which perfectly matched Zhao Ji's thoughts at the time.

If Yang Che hadn't appeared at the time, someone else could have taken his place. Of course, as the two got to know each other better and their bond deepened, that kind of thing would never happen again.

Because Zi Nu is too clever, even if she has feelings for him, she is mostly calculating. In addition, she also has the responsibility of Zi Lan Xuan. So-called acting on impulse is just a mirage to her.

Of course, Jing Ni is an exception, but who can blame her for being an oddball? She's not normal to begin with. In the current dynasty, she's more concerned with repaying kindness. As for feelings, she probably still doesn't understand them.

So, all things considered, only Honglian is truly pure; she loves the real Yang Che, not the mystery surrounding him brought about by his time travel.

While Yang Che was distracted, Honglian called out from afar, "Cousin."

This call startled Lady Mingzhu. Honglian, a princess, was calling Yang Che "cousin." What did this mean?

Lady Mingzhu subconsciously looked at Yang Che, only to find that this master of the Holy Gate was becoming increasingly unfathomable.

Although Honglian is willful, she would never act recklessly in such a way. Her calling him "cousin" must have Han Wang'an's approval.

Why did Yang Che gain the trust of King Han An so much?

Is King Han really going to put forward Yang Che to compete with Ji Wuye's Nightfall?

If that's really the case—Madam Mingzhu subconsciously licked her red lips as she pondered. She could already smell the bloodshed and turmoil. Thinking of her previous deal with Yang Che, she was already somewhat impatient.

Upon hearing Honglian call him "cousin," Yang Che quickly stepped forward and helped Honglian, who had tripped on the steps.

"Slow down, or you'll fall and your delicate skin won't be able to take it," Yang Che said with concern, holding Honglian's arm.

"I didn't mean to!" Honglian protested, but her gaze was intentionally or unintentionally drawn to Yang Che's hand that was holding her arm. Even through her clothes, she could clearly feel the softness and strength in Yang Che's hand, and the arm that Yang Che was holding was burning hot.

Lady Mingzhu watched the whole thing and grew increasingly impressed with Yang Che's methods, which were far superior to her own methods of seducing Prince Han An.

A man might look at a woman simply out of lust, but when a woman likes a man, she considers many more factors. In this respect, women are more greedy than men in relationships.
