Narcissist Shang Yang

Chapter 48: The Narcissistic Shang Yang

Because of the pressure Shen Gui had just displayed, the Demon Soldier who went to report didn't dare to delay. Soon, the message was passed layer by layer to Shang Yang.

Hearing that someone wanted to see her, and that their cultivation was quite high, Shang Yang, who had recently destroyed Huoyun City, couldn't help but overthink things.

If someone suddenly came to visit her at this time, it was probably related to her destroying Huoyun City.

If it were an enemy, then logically speaking, they wouldn't have visited so politely; they would have attacked the mountain directly.

Therefore, the visitor was likely a friend, not an enemy.

With this thought, Shang Yang made up her mind.

Lazily stretching her body, Shang Yang said indifferently, "Bring him in."

"Yes." The Demon General who came to report quickly lowered his head, not daring to look further, and responded before leaving.

Soon, Shen Gui, who was waiting on the mountain path, was led into Qingmang Mountain.

However, since Shang Yang wanted to see Shen Gui, the one who came to greet him was naturally not the previous Demon Soldier, but a Demon General with a rather high status in Qingmang Mountain—the same Demon General who had reported to Shang Yang last.

Following behind the Demon General into Qingmang Mountain, although Shen Gui was somewhat curious about Qingmang Mountain, he didn't use his divine sense to investigate the situation within the mountain.

After all, he came with the intention of cooperating with Shang Yang, so he had to avoid actions that might cause misunderstandings as much as possible.

Under the guidance of the Demon General, Shen Gui soon arrived outside a massive palace on the peak of Qingmang Mountain.

The main gate of the palace was inscribed with three large characters: Qingmang Palace.

Stopping outside the palace, the Demon General said to Shen Gui, "Lord Shang Yang is waiting for you inside. You can go in yourself."

In Qingmang Mountain, Shang Yang was the supreme existence. Without Shang Yang's permission, even a Demon General of his status was not allowed to enter Qingmang Palace without authorization.

Hearing the Demon General say this, Shen Gui didn't say anything and walked directly into the main hall.

However, as soon as he entered the hall, Shen Gui's vision blurred.

Inside the hall, everything was decorated with various colorful gems, jade, and crystals. Under the refraction of sunlight from several specially created openings in the ceiling, they emitted dazzling and mesmerizing light. The walls of the hall were also inlaid with countless pearls, making the hall appear even more luxurious.

Although, strictly speaking, these things were not truly precious, the way they were decorated gave Shen Gui a feeling of overwhelming wealth.

Yes, that's right.

Seeing this extremely splendid and colorful hall, the first thought that came to Shen Gui's mind, a person from a later era, was not beauty, but extravagance.

Outrageously extravagant.

Rich person, can we be friends?

But Shen Gui quickly realized that this was the Great Desolation.

These things were worthless here.

If one had to say, one Origin Crystal could exchange for many of these things.

So, in reality, if Shen Gui wanted these things, with his strength, it wouldn't be difficult to obtain as many as he wanted.

It was just that, apart from looking good, Shen Gui couldn't think of any other use for them.

A jumble of thoughts flashed through Shen Gui's mind, and then he looked at the only person he saw in the hall, who was undoubtedly the owner of this place.

Shang Yang.

The woman, dressed in colorful clothes, sat on the only seat in the hall. However, her cold and beautiful face and icy demeanor seemed somewhat out of place with the gaudy decorations of the hall.

"Shen Gui greets fellow Daoist Shang Yang."

Bowing slightly, Shen Gui said.

Then he heard a lazy voice speak beside his ear, "Is it beautiful?"

Shen Gui was startled. He looked up at Shang Yang, confirming that the voice came from her.

However, this lazy tone didn't seem to match Shang Yang's cold and beautiful face and icy demeanor at all.

But looking at Shang Yang's colorful attire and the gaudy decorations in the palace, it seemed like this mismatch wasn't the only one.

Suppressing the urge to complain, Shen Gui seriously looked at Shang Yang for two more moments and honestly replied, "Beautiful."

Then, he saw Shang Yang roll her eyes in a way that was very out of character for her demeanor. "Nonsense, I'm naturally beautiful, why do I need you to say it? I'm asking if this hall is beautiful? Didn't I see you looking around when you came in?"

Shen Gui was taken aback.

Is this really Shang Yang?

Why does it feel like everyone I've met since I transformed seems a bit abnormal?

Whether it was Xing Tian, Kuafu, Hou Yi from before, or Nuwa and Qing Luan whom he met later, and now Shang Yang.

It seemed that the only two relatively normal ones were Houtu and Golden Phoenix.

However, with the abnormality of others before him, Shen Gui couldn't be sure if Houtu and Golden Phoenix didn't have abnormal sides to them as well.

Not to mention others, just Shang Yang in front of him.

So, the Shang Yang, who would later be one of the Ten Great Demon Saints of the Demon Race, was actually a narcissist?

Seeing Shen Gui's prolonged silence, Shang Yang couldn't help but frown.

"What, do you think my hall isn't beautiful?"

"It's alright, I guess." Shen Gui replied subconsciously.

Then he saw Shang Yang's beautiful, slender eyebrows furrow.
