Red Heart Patrols the Sky

This she-demon was born beautiful, cherry lips and jade-like nose, eyes soft and alluring. Her figure was soft as gauze smoke, supple as if boneless.

Only that perfectly curved smile seemed inlaid upon her face. Beautiful it was, yet lacking a few degrees of life.

This was a welcoming smile, a server’s smile, a polite smile, not one arising from joy.

Her Demon Mark manifested upon her skin: extremely intricate and gorgeous crimson snake patterns, running down from her neck, covering the snow-white flesh, extending into her clothes, likely spread across her entire body.

Such patterns ought to make the viewer feel danger, yet on closer look they possessed a fatal attraction.

From entering the room to slipping under the bed, it took no more than a single breath.

Her movement technique was superb; she did not disturb even a single mote of dust in the room. And she instantly entered a sort of dormant state, body and soul leaving no trace, without leaking the slightest breath.

If Jiang Wang had not watched the entire time, it would have been hard to sense that there was such a she-demon in the room.

By this point, he could of course guess this she-demon’s identity.

With such strength, yet hiding herself so deeply, and of the Snake Clan besides—other than that infamously vicious Red Moon King Snake, She Guyu, now being hunted by Lu Qilang, who else could it be?

And as she entered her dormant state, the snake patterns on her skin quickly receded, finally gathering at the left collarbone into a small crescent moon...

Jade Bowl holding Red Moon—what a fine scene.

Some Ancient Deity hidden within the mirror could fully understand this she-demon’s logic of action as well—the inn personally searched by Lu Qilang should not be searched again by anyone else in the short term.

Was that not precisely why the great Ancient Deity likewise hid here without moving?

Their thoughts collided, their choices collided; one could call it fated.

Playing at Darkness Under the Lamp, pulling a feint and returning strike!

Nothing wrong with that at all.

But could you not go to some other room?

You didn’t pay, yet you just barged in?

You don’t find it crowded?

The great Ancient Deity had the mind to ruthlessly crush this flower, take advantage of her dormancy to send her into eternal sleep—but worried he might not be able to win.

One’s own family knows one’s own affairs.

On this side his own injuries had yet to heal, and on that side She Guyu was a powerhouse qualified to rank among the new kings of the Heavenly List, yet after months of pursuit by Lu Qilang, the seventh new king on the Heavenly List, she was still alive and kicking.

Moreover, though she appeared dormant, even in this moment of dormancy her whole curled body maintained tremendous tension, ready to enter combat at any time.

Her dormancy was clearly not simple sleep, but some exquisite Cultivation Technique, combining the effects of concealing her aura, sealing herself off, and restoring her physical state, while still keeping her at a high level of vigilance.

Which made the great Ancient Deity extremely envious.

The Ancient Deity in the mirror especially believed that if he were to step out of the Mirror World at this moment, this beautiful snake-clan she-demon would instantly "awaken."

And it was absolutely impossible for him to kill her silently and without a trace.

Yet to say he would simply ignore her... the title Spirit Inspiration King was no idle praise; what if Lu Qilang happened to catch up? When two powerful Demon Kings fought, could this inn still be preserved? Could the Red Mirror continue pretending to be ordinary?

Or worse, if She Guyu stayed in this room too long, with her Heavenly List new king’s vision and wariness, what if she herself discovered the secret of the Red Mirror?

Whether righteous Demon or Evil Demon, none of them would ever let the Human Race off lightly.

Jiang Wang seemed to see ripples upon the river of fate, at this moment spreading into a huge ghostly face, staring at him full of malice, watching him sit awkwardly in the Mirror World.

Looking up, all was vast and misty; he had only a sheet of paper covered in clues, and a sword that had accompanied him through many campaigns.

Where lay the path ahead?

His true body was trapped in the mirror, unable to move. He did not even dare make a stir in his Cultivation, for fear of aura leaking out.

Faced with the predicament of sharing a room with the Red Moon King, from where could he break the situation?

The Peaceful Ghost Messenger who had sealed his blade for a month?

The faceless cult that had recently been keeping its tail tucked, developing low-key?

Or Chai Asi, who, after rounds of combat selection, had with difficulty fought his way into the top hundred of Mo Yun City?

...

...

"I’ve thought of a brilliant method!"

In a certain sealed room, Yu Xin’s handsome face flushed with excitement: "The benefits on She Guyu’s body, we’ve got a chance to get a piece too!"

"Hold on first." From a corner of the room came a rough, rasping voice, like stone scraping against stone, unpleasantly pounding in the ears.

The voice came from a being seated on a Taishi Chair, one leg crossed over the other, ten fingers interlaced and resting upon his knee. A pitch-black, ink-dark mask without any markings covered his face, and his whole body was wrapped in a voluminous long robe.

He asked, "You just said that at the banquet in the Feiyun Tower, you exposed the news that She Guyu hides some earth-shaking secret upon her body... using a scheme of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf?"

Yu Xin calmed his somewhat excited mood, sat down with a smile: "That was also a feint to strike elsewhere—in short, shifting their attention, making them bite each other like dogs... But then I thought about it: since I’ve pointed it out, if I just watch without acting, I’ll only invite suspicion for nothing. Might as well truly snatch this She Guyu as well, to show how open and aboveboard my heart is. And let that Lu Qilang know whose city Mo Yun City really is!"

"Don’t rush to say how you’ll snatch She Guyu; first tell me..." The demon wrapped in the long robe spoke painfully, "She Guyu hides some secret upon her body—does that need you to point it out? She wiped out her entire clan herself, there must be some special reason; isn’t this something every demon knows?"

Yu Xin froze for a moment, then said, "Brother Xiong, you don’t know—Lu Qilang’s damn Spirit Perception told him he has a fortuitous encounter in Mo Yun City! Doesn’t that match our Shenxiao Secret Cache? The situation was urgent at the time; I had to immediately link that inspiration of his to She Guyu, lest he think about this and that and end up dragging us into trouble!"
