Ch. 2565: Underworld (3)

Without any resistance nor struggle, Shen Yanxiao was inexplicably seized.
She was really very cooperative.
The devil soldiers left the tavern directly with Shen Yanxiao. Looking at their posture, they couldn’t wait to hand in the task.
“Xiao Xiao, later you have to wait on the lord. You must be obedient and don’t get into trouble, then
you will have good fruit to eat.” Along the way, the devil soldiers said all kinds of things in Shen
Yanxiao’s ear, teaching her how to be a proper maid.
Shen Yanxiao listened silently and glanced at the long-winded devil soldiers.
She would have good fruit to eat, eh? With her strength, she could pinch him with just a nger. After walking for a long time, Shen Yanxiao was nally taken to a courtyard. The devil soldiers were uneasy for a moment before they hesitantly knocked on the gate.
Shen Yanxiao stood aside and looked at the devil soldiers who acted very strangely. Earlier,
listening to him and the other two devil soldiers discussing the devil named Qing Jun, she didn’t recognize how much respect they had for the other party, but now the devil soldiers displayed fear before her very eyes, which was a bit interesting.
The upper and lower levels of the Devil Race were strictly divided. Such cases rarely occurred. It was a great sin for soldiers at lower levels to be rude to their superiors, even in private. Devils advocated the strong, and any dissatisfaction was not allowed to exist. When the devil soldier was complaining, his companions didn’t seem to stop him either, which was very odd. Arguably, Qing Jun’s position was higher than theirs. It was inappropriate for them to talk privately
like that, but she did not see any guilty feeling on their part.
The gate opened very quickly. But when Shen Yanxiao saw the person who opened the door clearly, she froze.
Yes, a person!
Shen Yanxiao could be a hundred percent certain that the handsome and cheerless man standing at the door was a human being, not a devil!
The man looked about twenty-ve to twenty-six years old and wore black clothes from top to bottom. His handsome facial features could be faintly seen to hold a trace of impatience, and those
cold eyes of his didn’t conceal his disgust for the devil soldiers in front of him.
Just like seeing a piece of garbage; completely sickening.
“Lord Qing Jun, I have already brought you the candidate you requested. I hope you are satised.” The devil soldier spoke respectfully, with a smiling face. Qing Jun slightly lifted his eyes and looked at Shen Yanxiao standing in the back. His cold eyes examined Shen Yanxiao from head to toe and, probably satised, he didn’t say much and merely
turned and walked towards the gate.
Shen Yanxiao was very surprised, and wondered why a human being appeared in the underworld. What was even more puzzling was that the devil soldiers were still very respectful to him on the
surface.
“Still not moving? Go in.” The devil soldier urged.
Shen Yanxiao responded with a hum and followed him into the courtyard.
The large courtyard seemed to be empty everywhere, without any plants nor ornaments, and one
couldn’t see any gures, either. Shen Yanxiao could feel the aura of Qing Jun within the courtyard, but apart from his aura, Shen Yanxiao didn’t sense the aura of any other creatures.
In such a big place, Qing Jun lived alone?
The position of this Qing Jun was certainly not low. How could it be simple for a human being to
survive in this devil’s realm? Qing Jun’s stay in the underworld must have been approved by Satan. Who else could allow a human being to stay here…
Interesting.
