"Greetings, Lord Jiu. It's been five years since we last met, and Lord Jiu's strength has improved yet again!" Ye Ruoshui smiled and cupped her hands in greeting. She then turned her head to the side and said to Ye Qinghan and Ye Qingyu, "Why haven't the two of you paid your respects to Lord Jiu? Lord Jiu is a powerful Deity level expert! "
"Greetings, Lord Jiu!" Ye Qinghan and Ye Qingyu hurriedly came to their senses and bowed. Ye Qinghan thought to himself, It's actually another Divine Beast, and a Divine Beast can actually speak the human language after maturing? Doesn't that mean that after Xiao Hei enters the mature stage, he can also speak directly and doesn't need to use telepathy?
"Hehe, you may dispense with the formalities. Come in, "Lord Jiu said and directly walked inside. Behind the door was a wide corridor, and the corridor was covered with a fiery red carpet. There were a few forks in the corridor. After walking a few steps, Lord Jiu pointed at a fork in the corridor and said, "Ye Ruoshui, bring this young lady to the side chamber to rest. There is some spiritual fruit wine inside, and you can taste it as you please. I will first bring Ye Qinghan to see Lord Jiu!"
"Eh? Brother! "Ye Qingyu hurriedly pulled on Ye Qinghan's sleeves and cried out in worry.
"Qingyu, be good. Brother will come to find you in a moment. You and Elder Ancestor can go first!" Ye Qinghan lightly patted the back of Ye Qingyu's hand, indicating that she and Ye Ruoshui should go first.
"Let's go, little girl!" Ye Ruoshui hurriedly signaled with her eyes and pulled the reluctant Ye Qingyu towards the side chamber.
"Hehe, lucky young man, follow me!" Madam Jiu smiled faintly. Her foxy face actually revealed a trace of human affection. After she finished speaking, she gracefully took small steps towards a fork on the left. As she walked, she instructed Ye Qinghan, "Ye Qinghan, when you meet Madam later, don't talk too much and don't look around. Whatever Madam asks you, just answer honestly. Whatever Madam wants you to do, don't disobey. Otherwise, if you anger Madam, the three of you won't be able to return …"
The corridor on the left was connected to a straight staircase. The staircase was very long, and at the top was a red door. The top of the stairs was covered with a fiery red carpet. The carpet was very clean and spotless.
Ye Qinghan followed Lord Jiu quickly as he listened to her warning attentively. He felt a little uneasy.
He was about to meet the legendary strongest expert of the continent. Although this expert seemed to be related to Xiao Hei, he wasn't confident before everything was clear. After all, if Lord Devour wanted to kill him, no one in this world could save him, not even Elder Lu.
"We're here. Go in by yourself. Remember what I said just now!" After walking for a while, Ye Qinghan followed Madam Jiu to the glowing red door. Madam Jiu stopped in her tracks and pointed at the door, indicating for Ye Qinghan to go in by himself.
Squeak! Ye Qinghan nodded and didn't think much. He puffed up his chest, pushed the door open, and walked in.
Outside the door was an open-air rooftop. At first glance, he could see countless flower pots. These flower pots were arranged in a very orderly manner, forming all sorts of beautiful patterns. On the left of the flower pots was a large pond with countless beautiful little fishes swimming in it. On the right of the flower pots was a huge grape rack, which was filled with clusters of fresh grapes.
Under the shelf, there was a diamond-shaped crystal table. On the table, there were a few plates of translucent fruits that Ye Qinghan did not recognize. Beside the table, there was only a rocking chair woven from old vines. There was someone sitting on the rocking chair. Ye Qinghan looked over, only to see a silhouette from the side. He had a head of black hair, a cold face, and a fiery red robe.
"Hmm? There's a lady here? " Ye Qinghan was a little puzzled. He lifted his head and looked around, but didn't find anything. After pondering for a while, he took a few steps forward and cupped his fists at the lady. "Ye Qinghan pays his respects to you, Madam. May I ask where Lord Devour is? I've come as invited! "
The lady didn't say anything. She was holding a green scroll in her hand, reading it quietly. Ye Qinghan didn't dare to say anything, nor did he dare to look around. He could only stand there quietly and wait for the woman's reply.
He stood there for more than an hour. The lady didn't seem to notice Ye Qinghan, still reading the scroll with great interest. The rooftop was quiet, except for the rustling sound of the lady flipping the pages of the book.
Another hour had passed. When Ye Qinghan was a little impatient and was about to ask again, the lady suddenly put down the book in her hand. The woman suddenly put down the book in her hand, turned around and looked coldly at Ye Qinghan.
"Her eyes are so terrifying!"
As soon as Ye Qinghan and the lady's eyes met, he felt like he was looking at two dazzling lights. He felt dizzy and didn't dare to look at her anymore. He bowed his head and waited for the lady to speak.
The lady still didn't say anything, just coldly looking at Ye Qinghan. Her eyes were as sharp as knives, which made Ye Qinghan feel a burning pain all over his body. At this moment, Ye Qinghan felt like he was stripped naked under her gaze. He didn't have any secrets to hide.
After a while, Ye Qinghan finally lost his patience. Being stared at by a lady like that, he felt uncomfortable. He clasped his fists one more time. "Madam, may I ask … where is Lord Devour?"
The lady finally opened her mouth. Her voice was cold and emotionless. "I'm Lord Devour!"
"Ah!" Hearing this familiar, clear voice, Ye Qinghan was bewildered. He couldn't believe it. "You're Lord Devour? Lord Devour isn't, isn't he a God …"
Ye Qinghan wanted to say that Lord Devour was a Divine Beast, wasn't he? The lady in front of him was a real person. However, he didn't dare to continue as he was afraid that he would annoy the lady in red.
"Can't a Divine Beast transform into a human? Ignorant! " The lady sneered but didn't say anything else. She continued to stare at Ye Qinghan. After a while, she slowly opened her mouth.
"Ye Qinghan, do you know that I really want to … kill you?"
The lady's casual words made Ye Qinghan feel as if he had fallen into the Nine Netherworlds. His entire body was chilled. Lord Devour didn't release his aura or move much. It was just a simple sentence, but it had frozen Ye Qinghan's blood. At the same time, his soul became sluggish, and he couldn't control his body anymore. At this moment, Ye Qinghan felt that he could smell the aura of death.
After a while, the soul ring on his left hand released a flow of energy, which restored Ye Qinghan's body. When he felt that he could control his body again, Ye Qinghan exhaled in relief. So many thoughts flashed in his head. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Devour wants to kill me. I can only wait for my death!"
"Don't pretend. If I want to kill you, I can take your life at any time. Even if you hide in the Unfettered Pavilion, I can still kill you!" Lord Devour opened his mouth one more time, shocking Ye Qinghan one more time.
She even knew about the Unfettered Pavilion? It seemed that Lord Devour's supernatural power was too strong to resist. At least, at this moment, Ye Qinghan couldn't resist it. Since he couldn't resist it, there was no need to be afraid. Ye Qinghan slowly lifted his head, looking at Lord Devour and asking boldly, "Why does Lord Devour want to kill me?"
Lord Devour swung his sleeve, his face cold. A formidable aura burst out from his body, covering Ye Qinghan. His voice became even colder.
"Because … you got something that you shouldn't have!"
