Intrusion into the Moon Demon Race Elder Council

Xuan Ye exhaled a breath of turbid qi.

"Are Yueye and the others... being questioned by the Elder Council?"

To protect him, the entire Moon Demon Race's commercial lifeline had suffered a severe blow. As the princess, Yueye naturally bore the brunt of it.

"Recovering the losses..."

Xuan Ye's fingertips lightly tapped his knee, his thoughts racing.

"It's nothing more than a money problem."

How to solve it?

A smile involuntarily curved Xuan Ye's lips.

When it came to doing business.

He was indeed clueless about things like forging iron and steel, or firing glass.

He wasn't a transmigator from ancient Blue Star, with a head full of industrial revolution knowledge.

He came from an era of information explosion.

People from that era might not create things with their own hands, but they had seen too much.

On the short video platform, case studies of various business geniuses, the underlying logic of brand operations, practical techniques of marketing psychology... he had even stumbled upon over a hundred down-to-earth business decisions like "Brother Yong, help me see if this land can be acquired."

These seemingly scattered fragments of knowledge were, in the demon realm where productivity and business models were still relatively primitive, akin to a dimensional strike.

He might only understand some superficial theories.

But this superficial knowledge was enough to earn back, with interest, the losses Yueye had suffered because of him.

At the same time.

Moon Demon Race Assembly Hall.

The atmosphere was as heavy as iron.

Dozens of Moon Demon Race elders, clad in luxurious black robes, sat on both sides. Every face was etched with gloom.

On the main seat, Yueye, in a black dress, appeared indifferent. Her purple eyes showed no ripple of emotion.

Yue Chen and Yue Xing stood quietly behind her, heads bowed, their expressions unreadable.

"Princess."

A goatee elder spoke first, his voice dry.

"The trade caravan you manage is the lifeline of our entire Moon Demon Race. Now, for your personal feelings, you have unilaterally interrupted trade, causing our race to suffer immense losses. How... how will you account for this to the entire race?"

Another elder immediately chimed in, "The Undead Demon Race has already issued a warning. If we cannot promptly compensate them for their losses and provide an explanation, they will retaliate! Princess, can you bear this responsibility?"

The questions, like sharp arrows, all shot towards the young woman in the main seat.

Yueye didn't even lift her eyelids.

She simply picked up the teacup beside her and gently blew on the floating tea leaves.

After a long while, she spoke three words in her clear, cold voice.

"I am responsible."

The elders in the hall were instantly speechless.

They dared to question her, but they didn't dare to do anything to this princess who was so beloved by the Demon God.

Seeing that they couldn't gain anything from Yueye, the goatee elder's eyes darted, and his gaze fell upon the twin sisters behind Yueye.

His voice suddenly rose, filled with harshness and anger.

"Princess is of noble birth, and perhaps her actions were thoughtless! But you two, as maids, are you also made of wood?"

"To stand by and watch the princess make such a grave mistake, not only failing to dissuade her but instead aiding and abetting her! Do you still have the interests of the Moon Demon Race in your eyes!"

"I think it's you two lowly maids who have been fanning the flames and misleading the princess!"

Abusive words surged towards Yue Chen and Yue Xing like a tide.

Yue Chen instinctively shielded her sister behind her, her body trembling slightly, the color draining from her pale cheeks.

Yue Xing hid behind her sister, biting her lip tightly. Her eyes immediately reddened, and crystal tears welled up, stubbornly refusing to fall.

"In my opinion, we should apprehend these two negligent maids and administer the whip! As a warning to others!" the goatee elder said sternly.

"I disagree." Yueye's voice suddenly turned cold. She put down her teacup, a hint of killing intent flashing in her purple eyes. "They are my people. Who dares to touch them?"

The goatee elder's heart trembled under her gaze, but this time he refused to back down.

They couldn't touch the princess, but could they not touch two mere maids?

"Princess, this is a clan assembly! Do you intend to make decisions alone?"

"Exactly! We must have an explanation today!"

The elders were determined to make an example of the twin sisters, to embarrass the princess.

Yue Chen and Yue Xing stood there alone, bearing pressure from all directions, appearing so helpless, so pitiful.

Seeing this, the Goatee Elder became even more smug, his gaze fixed on the two sisters.

"You tell me! Was the Princess wrong this time? That Human Traitor named Xuan Ye, should he not have been saved at all? Should he have died out there!"

These words were utterly devastating.

The eyes of the entire hall focused on the pair of sisters.

Yue Ye's breath hitched for a moment.

In the deathly silence, Yue Chen, who had been silent all along, suddenly took a deep breath.

"I believe Young Master Xuan Ye should be saved."

After saying this, she tightly closed her mouth, lowered her eyes slightly, and prepared to face the coming storm.

"A mere Maidservant dares to speak wildly at the tribal council!"

"Seize her! Seize her for me now!"

The elders' anger was fully ignited, and the entire hall instantly erupted.

Just then.

"Bang--!"

The heavy doors of the Council Hall were violently pushed open from the outside.

A figure stepped into the center of the storm.

The scolding stopped abruptly, and all eyes turned to the entrance.

"Who dares to trespass on the place of the tribal council!" the Goatee Elder roared.

Xuan Ye ignored the gazes that seemed ready to devour him, walked straight in, his eyes sweeping across the hall, and finally settling on the pale, helpless faces of Yue Chen and Yue Xing.

He nodded slightly to Yue Ye on the main seat, then turned to the elders and calmly retorted.

"Am I not also a member of the Moon Demon Race?"

"This time, the Moon Demon Race has suffered such heavy losses, I should contribute."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall was silent for a moment, and then erupted in uproarious laughter.

The Goatee Elder laughed until tears almost came out, pointing at Xuan Ye.

"Contribute? You?"

"A mere human brat who hasn't even weaned, what help can you offer? If you don't cause us trouble, we'll be thankful enough!"

The words "human race" were emphasized heavily.

Another elder recognized Xuan Ye, his face instantly darkening. He berated, "It's you, Scourge! If we hadn't tried to save you, why would our race have fallen into such a predicament? And now you have the nerve to speak up!"

"Get out!"

Angry shouts rushed towards Xuan Ye.

Yueye's face instantly turned deathly pale.

A flicker of panic flashed in her purple eyes as she subconsciously looked at Yue Chen and Yue Xing behind her.

The sisters' faces were also filled with anxiety and helplessness.

They knew very well that Xuan Ye stepping forward now would not only be of no help but would also draw all the elders' anger directly onto himself.

He would become the target of public criticism.
