Facing the astonished gaze of the Nine-Yin Demon Envoy, Wang Shouzhe's expression became even more complicated.
This was all trouble caused by that wretched girl Wang Lixian.
Oh, no, this debt had to be settled starting with that wretched girl Wang Lilong. If she had not set such a "good" precedent by catching him a Moon Rabbit to serve as a "concubine," there would not have been so many troubles afterward.
"P-patriarch." Seeing Wang Shouzhe look her way, the Nine-Yin Demon Envoy's face filled with panic. Trembling, she hurriedly begged leave. "It was all this concubine's fault. This concubine will leave at once, leave at once."
She truly looked like a pitiful maid-concubine who had stumbled upon some unspeakable secret of the male lead, trembling with terror inside and fearing she would be silenced forever.
"Stop!" Wang Shouzhe said darkly. "Things are not what you think they are. Do you understand?"
"I understand. This concubine understands."
The Nine-Yin Demon Envoy had gone pale with fright and nodded again and again.
"..." Wang Shouzhe knew at once from her manner that she was merely brushing him off, but he could not be bothered to explain. Waving his hand, he said, "If you have nothing to do, go attend Chaoyang King and the others while they play cards."
"This concubine obeys."
As though granted a pardon, the Nine-Yin Demon Envoy promptly scurried away.
Seeing her act like this, Wang Shouzhe could only shake his head and sigh bitterly.
Wang Lixian bringing this Nine-Yin Demon Envoy back had indeed become quite a troublesome matter.
Had they simply released her on the Truth-Seeking Continent, that would have been one thing. But since she had been brought back to the Wang Clan, she had naturally learned something about the clan, which made matters rather awkward.
