Chapter 302 - Can’t Lie
“All of you can leave as well.”
After the two sisters left the Rain Admiration Pavilion, the emperor waved his hand.
Bald Vulture, Bai Yuhan and the remaining Imperial Army soldiers bowed and left, leaving only the emperor and Su Zimo in the pavilion.
“Didn’t you have no spirit root and was unable to cultivate?”
“I had some opportunities and unexpected circumstances.”
“Who imparted your abilities to you?”
“I’m a disciple of Ethereal Peak.”
“Ethereal Peak. Good, how rare.”
Demoness Ji covered her mouth and chuckled. “I merely came over to help you because I heard that father was enraged. Hehe, to think that father couldn’t tell at all.”
“You!”
Ji Yaoxue tapped Demoness Ji’s fair and delicate forehead before laughing in an exasperated manner. “Father was not the only one. I bought your story too.”
Pausing for a moment, Ji Yaoxue retracted her smile and sighed softly. “However, if you hadn’t appeared, Zimo truly might not have survived.”
“That Su Zimo… he’s the one you fancy?” Demoness Ji blinked her eyes and asked.
Ji Yaoxue blushed slightly and chided softly, “Go away, don’t spout nonsense.”
“Hehe, it must be!”
“You’re asking for a beating, young lady!”
Just as the two of them were bickering, Su Zimo had already exited the Rain Admiration Pavilion and was heading in their direction.
When he approached, he cupped his fists. “Thank you, princesses.”
“Hey, Young Master Su! I’m called Ji Yaoyan! Remember that I’ve done you a favor and you must thank me if there’s a chance!”
After saying that, Demoness Ji gave Su Zimo an alluring smile and winked while Ji Yaoxue was not noticing.
Her smile was as beautiful as a flower and could turn the world upside down!
Her eyes resembled water, as though they could draw one’s soul into them!
Su Zimo closed his eyes hurriedly and took a deep breath of cold air as a burning sensation spread within him.
That was the fiend heir of the Pure Maiden Sect he remembered!
Ji Yaoxue was a little surprised and turned to look at Su Zimo before glancing at Demoness Ji.
By now, Demoness Ji had already returned to normal and that bewitching smile and seductive gaze disappeared in a flash as though everything was an illusion.
Demoness Ji waved and bid goodbye.
Gazing at Demoness Ji’s back view, Ji Yaoxue said to Su Zimo, “You’ve really got to thank Yan’er. She did not know you at all and specially made up a lie to deceive father.”
“Yan’er isn’t experienced in the world and she’s pure and kind. Someone like her doesn’t know how to lie at all. It was really hard on her this time round,” Ji Yaoxue sighed gently once more.
Su Zimo was speechless as he thought to himself, “If that younger sister of yours doesn’t know how to lie and is pure and kind, there would be no honest soul remaining on the face of this world.”
However, Su Zimo could not speak his mind.
After all, he had promised Demoness Ji that he would help her conceal her identity.
Furthermore, judging from the attitudes of Ji Yaoxue and the emperor, even if Su Zimo were to tell them that Demoness Ji was the fiend heir of the Pure Maiden Sect, neither of them would buy the truth at all…
“What does your sister usually do?” Su Zimo asked in a seemingly casual manner.
Ji Yaoyan shook her head. “Yan’er can’t cultivate and has been learning how to do business from Auntie Gu. She’s just all around the place.”
Demoness Ji had cultivated some sort of a technique that could conceal her cultivation realm completely, making her look like a mortal.
However, there was indeed no need for her to dirty her hands personally if she wanted to kill anyone.
She was always making use of others to do it for her!
A single gaze of hers would suffice!
