[Soon, under Bai Qingsong's arrangements, thirty-seven demons of various shapes and appearances arrived at the Demon Lord Palace.]

[They stood in a single line, nervously observing their surroundings.]

[Though their eyes wandered, it was obvious that they were far more interested in the person seated behind the screen at the head of the hall.]

[That was right.]

[Before summoning them, Bai Qingsong had specifically instructed Chief Steward Jiao Tianao to bring over a specially crafted screen and place it in front of the Demon Lord's throne.]

[The screen was a demonic immortal artifact.]

[Those standing before it could not see the person behind it, while the person behind it could clearly see everything in front.]

[In addition, it possessed the ability to conceal one's aura.]

[It was perfect for the current situation.]

[Holding a thick book in his hands, Bai Qingsong began introducing the abilities of each candidate one by one.]

[One could draw power from ice and snow.]

[Another could make demonic beasts feel nauseated and vomit with a single glance.]

[Yet another could control the temperature of his middle finger.]

[Listening to Bai Qingsong's serious introductions, Ye Yu was completely speechless.]

[What the hell were these abilities?]

[I told you to find demons with unique immortal arts, not recruit a comedy troupe.]

[Control the temperature of his middle finger?]

[What, is he going to heat it to eighteen thousand degrees and roast someone's ancestors?]

[Just as Ye Yu was preparing to get up and leave, the final candidate's ability made him stop.]

[Number Thirty-Seven: Ultimate Mimicry.]

[Profound Demon Realm cultivation.]

[Capable of imitating any technique or divine ability at the same realm or lower. Learn it after seeing it once.]

[Ye Yu slightly raised a hand.]

["Now that's interesting."]

["Of course it is. That's the grand finale. And the best part is, she's beautiful too."]

[Bai Qingsong looked immensely proud of himself.]

[The grin at the corner of his mouth was becoming increasingly suspicious.]

[Suppressing the urge to hit someone, Ye Yu waved his hand.]

[Bai Qingsong immediately understood.]

[He raised his voice and shouted:]

["Number Thirty-Seven stays. Everyone else may leave."]

[Upon hearing this, the demons cupped their fists and departed in an orderly fashion.]

[Only a single young woman remained.]

[At first glance, she looked gentle and delicate.]

[The longer one looked, the more captivating she became.]

[Bai Qingsong leaned close to Ye Yu and whispered:]

["Big Brother, consider this a gift I've prepared for you. The first time I saw this woman, I was genuinely stunned."]

["How should I put it? It felt like seeing my first love from my youth."]

["That pure and innocent aura practically hits you in the face."]

["She brought back memories of my lost youth."]

[Ye Yu shoved Bai Qingsong away in disgust.]

[Then he stepped out from behind the screen.]

[Slowly, he walked up to the female demon.]

[The seductive aura surrounding her revealed her identity as a succubus.]

[Ye Yu studied her for a long time without making a move.]

[He wasn't deliberately hesitating.]

[He was calculating dates.]

[Although his previous experiment with Liang Yu in the Tower of Nonaction had proven that the rewards from Divine Touch seemed completely random...]

[Recently, Ye Yu had once again begun thinking about the relationship between quantity and quality.]

[As a result, he had intentionally avoided touching any immortals for an extended period.]

[His goal was to conduct another experiment.]

[After a long period without activating Divine Touch, would the rewards become better?]

[By his calculations, it had been more than a month.]

[Whether it would work remained to be seen.]

[At that moment, Bai Qingsong hurried over.]

["Big Brother, her name is Du Shuang. How about I arrange a private room so the two of you can talk alone?"]

[After saying that, he turned to Du Shuang.]

["This is my Big Brother. Whatever he says goes. You absolutely must not disobey him, or you'll die a very miserable death."]

[Clearly, Bai Qingsong had completely misunderstood the situation.]

[Seeing Ye Yu remain silent for so long, he assumed there were other intentions at play.]

[Thus, he decisively launched a personal assist.]

[Du Shuang gave a slight bow.]

["Please rest assured, Demon Lord Bai. I will serve this Senior well. Whatever he wishes to do, I will not refuse."]

[Hearing those words, Ye Yu frowned slightly.]

[What a waste of such a beautiful face.]

[To speak in such a worldly, practiced manner.]

[What a pity.]

[Ye Yu shook his head and raised his right hand.]

["Come. Put your hand on mine."]

[Although somewhat confused, Du Shuang obediently complied.]

[Touching Du Shuang, a Profound Demon Realm expert of the Demon Realm.]

[Reward obtained: Immortal Art — Ultimate Mimicry.]

[Allows the user to rapidly imitate the immortal arts of others and cast them.]

[Ye Yu was overjoyed.]

[His luck had exploded.]

[He had never expected to plunder another person's ability so quickly.]

[Perhaps an occasional cooldown period really was useful after all.]

[At that moment, however, Du Shuang suddenly began trembling.]

[The features of her face started shifting and changing.]

[Before long, an entirely different face appeared.]

[Compared to her previous appearance, this one was noticeably inferior.]

[It could only be considered attractive rather than breathtaking.]

[Seeing this, Ye Yu glanced at Bai Qingsong in confusion.]

[Bai Qingsong immediately panicked.]

[He frantically waved his hands, insisting that he had never intentionally tried to deceive Big Brother and had no idea what was happening.]

[Then he grabbed Du Shuang by the collar and roared:]

["What's going on with your face?!"]

[Du Shuang hurriedly touched her cheeks.]

[Her expression filled with panic.]

["N-No! It's just that something went wrong with my cultivation technique. I'll change back right away."]

[That was what she said.]

[Yet no matter how hard she tried, she could not return to her previous appearance.]

[Bai Qingsong's patience finally snapped.]

[He immediately summoned Chief Steward Jiao Tianao and ordered him to take Du Shuang away and find out exactly what was happening.]

[Jiao Tianao was highly capable.]

[Only five minutes after leaving with Du Shuang, he returned to report his findings.]

[According to a soul-search investigation, the technique Du Shuang had been using was Heaven Concealment, which she had learned through Ultimate Mimicry.]

[It allowed her to completely alter her appearance and become another person while remaining undetectable to anyone.]

[As for whose appearance she had copied, even she didn't know.]

[She had merely seen the woman in an ancient painting.]

[Thinking the woman was exceptionally beautiful, she had used Heaven Concealment to transform herself into that appearance.]

[Her plan had been to use that perfect face to attract a powerful cultivation partner.]

[Unexpectedly, before she could get very far, she saw Demon Lord Bai offering enormous rewards for unique and extraordinary immortal arts.]

[So she signed up immediately.]

[After all, everyone in the Demon Realm knew that Bai Qingsong was effectively the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm now.]

[If she happened to catch his eye during the selection process, it would be the equivalent of stepping onto a broad path toward the heavens.]

[Without hesitation, she submitted her application.]

[After passing layer upon layer of screening, she finally arrived at the hall.]

[But she had never expected that after merely touching Ye Yu's hand, her Ultimate Mimicry immortal art would seemingly disappear completely.]

[With Ultimate Mimicry gone, the Heaven Concealment technique she had learned through it naturally failed as well.]

[Thus, her true appearance was revealed.]

[After hearing the entire explanation, Ye Yu asked in confusion:]

["This still passed multiple rounds of screening?"]

[Bai Qingsong nodded seriously.]

["Of course, Big Brother. You have no idea. Some of the techniques created by demons in our realm are so bizarre and unconventional that I can't even bring myself to describe them."]

["But one thing is true. Originally, I really did intend for Du Shuang to be the grand finale gift for you."]

["Who would've thought something like this would happen? I'm truly sorry about that."]
