School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 1369: Chapter 1455: Hidden Motives

After Chen Nan stated his conditions, he fixed his gaze on the Divine Mirror Demon Emperor.

This old demon woman laughed heartily, saying, ”No problem at all. Even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have done it. These three conditions, I accept them all. Now, are you assured?”

Chen Nan deliberately showed an expression of surprise: ”Is this true?”

The Divine Mirror Demon Emperor smiled and nodded, ”Naturally, I never go back on my word, especially when it’s promised publicly.”

”In that case, it’s a deal.”

As Chen Nan spoke, to show his ”sincerity,” he immediately put away the Phoenix Wing Mace and the warship.

Seeing this, the Divine Mirror Demon Emperor was overjoyed and ordered her people to step back, pointing towards the depths of the City Lord’s mansion, saying, ”With your help, Chen Nan, it’s like adding wings to a tiger. Please come inside; today we’ll have a feast in your honor, and we won’t leave until we’re drunk.”

Chen Nan nodded in agreement.

He thought to himself, go ahead and be smug, old demon woman. I’ll see how long you can be happy. One day, I’ll make sure you are utterly annihilated and unable to recover forever!

After entering, the feast was set, with dozens of the highest-ranking individuals in Demon Emperor City attending.

During the banquet, the old demon woman publicly appointed Chen Nan as the Twelfth Guardian. The reason for the twelfth position was because there were already eleven guardians before him. Li Xiao and the Black Feathered Chicken were appointed as officers directly under Chen Nan’s command.

Although the Divine Mirror Demon Emperor wanted to separate the three of them, if she did so immediately, Chen Nan and his companions would certainly object, so she had to wait for a better opportunity.

And Chen Nan and his two companions, in order to dispel the old demon woman’s suspicions, agreed wholeheartedly and even feigned gratitude.

After the feast, Chen Nan also noticed that the old demon woman still had some reservations about him.

Because, when they toasted each other during the feast, the old demon woman never got too close to him, even if she approached, there were always experts by her side. This was clearly to prevent him from attacking.

After all, although the old demon woman’s Divine Sense was strong, occupying Ye Yiyi’s body, her Inner Strength was not very strong. If Chen Nan suddenly attacked, with her own abilities, she might not be able to handle it.

After the banquet was cleared, under the arrangement of the Divine Mirror Demon Emperor, Chen Nan went to his room.

That night, Chen Nan undoubtedly did not sleep well, as he was constantly thinking about how to expel the old demon woman from his junior sister’s body.

Unfortunately, after thinking all night, he didn’t come up with a good solution.

Early the next morning, that old demon woman, the Divine Mirror Demon Emperor, again sent various gifts to Chen Nan, such as various Spiritual Elixirs, which were helpful for cultivation, stacking up to a large pile.

The old demon woman had invaded Ye Yiyi’s memory and knew about Chen Nan’s potential, so she was trying to win him over to have him fully devoted to working for her.

And Chen Nan was well aware of the old demon woman’s intentions, so he accepted gladly and expressed his thanks.

In the following days, although the two did not meet, the old demon woman sent Chen Nan things almost every day, and they were all top-notch items useful for cultivation, some rare things that Chen Nan had only heard of before but never seen.

”This old demon woman really knows how to win over people’s hearts. Unfortunately, even if you give me a vast nation, it can’t compare with my junior sister’s freedom.” Chen Nan thought to himself, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, they had been in Demon Emperor City for five days.

That day, Chen Nan was chatting with Li Xiao in his room when someone walked into the courtyard, came to the door, held a fist in salute, and said, ”Reporting to the Twelfth Guardian, the City Lord requests your presence.”

Chen Nan glanced at Li Xiao, and the two exchanged a look before standing up and heading out.

”Where is the City Lord?”

After coming outside, Chen Nan asked the demon soldier who delivered the message.

The demon soldier replied respectfully, ”The City Lord is waiting in the Imperial Garden.”

”Alright, you can leave. I will go to the Imperial Garden myself.” Chen Nan dismissed him with a wave of his hand and strode towards the Imperial Garden.

The City Lord’s mansion was several times more magnificent than the mortal world’s palace. Chen Nan made several turns and took quite a while before reaching the Imperial Garden, where he saw the Divine Mirror Demon Emperor standing by the Lake Heart Pavilion, feeding the fish in the lake with some fish food.

Without any bridge around the Lake Heart Pavilion, Chen Nan flew over the lake, landing beneath the pavilion: ”Greetings, City Lord.”

Beside the Divine Mirror Demon Emperor were two strong cultivators from the Immortal Domain.

Seeing Chen Nan arrive, the two quietly heightened their vigilance, clearly not trusting him.

However, the old demon woman, the Divine Mirror Demon Emperor, stepped forward with a pleased expression: ”With no outsiders present, there’s no need for formality. I’m idle today, so I’ve invited you here for a chat.”

”I am extremely grateful for the City Lord’s great grace,” Chen Nan said, though inside he loathed the old demon woman, he maintained an earnest smile on his face.

”I also know that in the Martial World, you have a game called chess. Since we’re idle anyway, how about we play a few rounds today?” the Divine Mirror Demon Emperor said with a smile.

Looking at her smile, Chen Nan was momentarily lost.

Such a familiar smile, yet behind it now was another soul controlling this body.

”Sure, I’d be glad to accompany you.” Chen Nan nodded.

The Divine Mirror Demon Emperor waved her hand, setting the chessboard.

She had noticed the tenderness in Chen Nan’s eyes and felt very satisfied.

With Ye Yiyi’s appearance and her own mature charm, she thought it shouldn’t be hard to win Chen Nan’s heart!

For the old demon woman, subduing Chen Nan was just the first step; winning his heart was the most crucial; not because she liked him, but because she wanted to use him through emotions. She understood Chen Nan’s potential very well, and with time, he would surely become a supreme being.

Chen Nan was no fool. When he saw the old demon woman casting flirtatious glances at him, he immediately guessed her intentions.

”Since she wants to use my feelings, why shouldn’t I turn her strategy against her, gain her trust, and then rescue my junior sister!” Chen Nan thought to himself, having made up his mind, so he kept staring blankly at that familiar face.

Seeing Chen Nan in this state, the Divine Mirror Demon Emperor was very pleased, and deliberately put on a seductive pose: ”What’s the matter with you?”

Chen Nan snapped back to reality, pretended to be flustered, and hurriedly picked up the chess piece.

The Divine Mirror Demon Emperor giggled, then mimicked Ye Yiyi’s demeanor in front of Chen Nan, picking up a chess piece to play against him.

With their own agendas, the two engaged in battle on the chessboard.

After finishing a round, the Divine Mirror Demon Emperor’s smile became even more radiant. To lure Chen Nan, she grabbed his hand and flew outside the Lake Heart Pavilion, smilingly saying: ”Come on, you’re unfamiliar with this place; let me show you around.”

His junior sister’s hand was still just as soft as before.

However, Chen Nan wasn’t bewitched; seeing the two Immortal Domain strongmen far behind, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.

If not now, then when!
