The only player in the world of Shrouding the Heavens

Yan Ruyu has arrived!

Dressed in a light blue palace gown, she exuded an aura of holiness, like a goddess descending to earth.

The surrounding demons bowed their heads and made way for the demon princess.

"Greetings, Princess of the Demon Clan!"

Duan De lowered his head and was the first to speak, reacting faster than the surrounding demons.

"Greetings, Princess."

The demons lowered their heads, and a few of them glanced at Duan De.

Su Zhe stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the demon princess Yan Ruyu.

To be fair, this demon princess was indeed an absolute beauty.

"My name is Su Zhe, and I greet Your Highness."

Su Zhe smiled and nodded slightly.

"Aren't you called Yongchu Tafy Meow?" Duan De asked from the side.

"You saw it?" Su Zhe asked in shock.

"It really is you?" Duan De looked equally incredulous, then immediately pointed at Su Zhe.

"Your Highness, you must be careful of this brat! He's no good. He openly provoked the female disciples of Yaochi in the Demon Emperor's tomb, and I saw it all clearly!"

Duan De moved closer to Yan Ruyu, covered his mouth with one hand, and whispered.

Su Zhe's face darkened.

That bastard!

"Oh? You dare to flirt with a female disciple of Yaochi? You're incredibly audacious!"

Yan Ruyu chuckled, her gaze becoming more serious as she looked Su Zhe up and down.

Everyone knows that all the disciples of Yaochi are women and that they are united. If others find out about this, Yaochi will definitely spare no effort to hunt down this kid!

"Your Highness, don't listen to this fatso's nonsense. He's still eyeing the rare bronze fragments from the Central Plains in the Demon Emperor's tomb."

Su Zhe remained unfazed.

"What? How did you know?!"

Duan De was equally shocked.

"Heh! Alright! You two know quite a lot! Guards, throw these two into the water dungeon and torture them severely for three days!"

The demon high priest sneered, his gaze unfriendly.

"Wait! Don't you want to find a good host for the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart?"

Su Zhe raised his hand and asked.

The demon cultivator who was about to step forward stopped and looked at Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu nodded slightly, signaling Su Zhe to continue.

Seeing that Su Zhe was about to speak, Duan De immediately stepped forward, ready to strike first.

"I know the whereabouts of the Ancient Sacred Body!"

However, Su Zhe was one step ahead of him in the end.

"You know about the Ancient Sacred Body?!"

Duan De and the high priest of the demon race spoke almost at the same time.

"Exactly." Su Zhe nodded.

"The Ancient Sacred Body, hailed as the strongest physique, if a Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart were to be nurtured from such a physique, then it would surely..."

The demon high priest muttered to himself, his aged eyes flashing with divine light.

"Quickly, tell me, where is the Ancient Sacred Body?"

The demon high priest stepped forward and asked excitedly.

"I can't find it," Su Zhe said.

Before he could finish speaking, he felt himself being locked onto by dozens of murderous gazes.

"But Master Duan will definitely be able to find it," Su Zhe quickly said.

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Duan De.

Duan De looked completely bewildered. "Are you kidding me? If you can't find it, how could I?"

"The Taoist priest has helped people avoid so many disasters, how could we not find him?" Su Zhe said with a half-smile.

Duan De suddenly opened his eyes wide and slapped his forehead. "You mean that boy?!"

Before Su Zhe could respond, Duan De covered his head and started spinning around.

"No wonder, no wonder, I always felt that kid's physique was extraordinary..."

Duan De paced back and forth, muttering to himself.

"Since Master Duan knows, then please trouble Master Duan to bring the person back." Yan Ruyu smiled lightly, like a blooming lotus flower, her beauty beyond compare.

"Why should I? You don't give me any benefits..."

Duan De muttered to himself.

"Taoist Master, you don't want others to know you got the green copper block, do you?" Su Zhe said from the side, his voice wicked.

"I didn't get it!"

"I believe it, but will others believe it? Hehe!"

"You...despicable! Shameless!" Duan De was so angry that he could hardly breathe.

He had originally hoped to sell the boy to the demon race and perhaps gain some benefits for himself.

But now it seems that, let alone any benefits, I might even have to pay out of my own pocket.

Seeing that Su Zhe was about to speak, Duan De quickly waved his hand.

"Alright, alright, I'll go! I'll go! Okay?"

Duan De was so angry that his teeth itched, and he turned around to leave indignantly.

"Master Duan, please don't leave! Otherwise, the whereabouts of this bronze piece will be hard to say."

The demon high priest, holding his scepter, watched Duan De walk further and further away.

Even from a great distance, Su Zhe could hear Duan De cursing and swearing.

"Young friend Su, now it's time to tell me how you know about the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart, isn't it?"

The demon high priest looked at Su Zhe and asked.

The other demons looked at Su Zhe with puzzled expressions. Only a few knew the inside story of the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart, and their gazes toward Su Zhe were full of profound meaning.

This naturally includes Yan Ruyu.

[Mission triggered!]

Princess Yan Ruyu of the demon race is very curious about why you know about the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart. As one of the leaders of the demon race, her status is extremely esteemed. If you can gain her favor, it may increase your reputation in the demon race.

Quest: The Demon Princess's Dilemma

Quest Rewards: Demon Clan Reputation Points and Mysterious Rewards

The mission was triggered somewhat abruptly, but it was within Su Zhe's expectations.

The game's quest system doesn't seem to be very well done.

"This matter is of great importance..."

Su Zhe looked around, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

Yan Ruyu nodded. "Please follow me, young master."

Amidst the disapproving gazes of the demon race, Su Zhe followed Yan Ruyu and left the demon race's encirclement.

The demon clan's territory was vast. Yan Ruyu led the way, while Su Zhe followed behind, watching Yan Ruyu's swaying figure.

Yan Ruyu is different from other demons; she possesses a pure and holy aura that almost prevents people from having any impure thoughts.

But Su Zhe's eyes and thoughts wouldn't listen to him.

"Young master, do I think my legs are pretty?"

Those long legs stopped at some point, and a faint sound rang out, bringing Su Zhe back to his senses.

"It looks good," Su Zhe replied without hesitation.

"Young master is quite frank, not hiding his thoughts at all." Yan Ruyu chuckled, her voice clear and melodious, yet carrying a captivating charm that subconsciously drew people in completely.

[Player detected to be under the influence of charm. Current status: Under charm.]

Su Zhe: 6

"Since you are so frank, young master, could you tell me how you know about the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart?" Yan Ruyu asked, looking pitiful.

Su Zhe wanted to pull on it a little more, but his body wouldn't obey him.

"I once read the Heavenly Book, which recorded the matter of the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart."

Su Zhe spoke, half-truthfully revealing the reason why he knew about the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart.

"A celestial book? Does it contain any other information?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"The Demon Emperor is not dead; he has been waiting for an opportunity to enter the Immortal Realm..."

Su Zhe continued to speak, uncontrollably revealing some of the things he knew.

Before he finished speaking, a beam of clear light descended, and Su Zhe shuddered, suddenly breaking free from the allure's influence.

As soon as he came to his senses, he saw a still-beating heart in front of him!
