[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."]
