When the ten thousand Justice Points disappeared from Ye Yu’s account, a massive golden roulette wheel’s phantom image floated into view.
There was no denying that the Heavenly-tier Lottery prizes were far superior to those at the Earth tier.
Top-grade Demon Immortal Artifacts, Ancient Great Demon Essence Blood, ten-thousand-year refined demon power... the assortnt was dazzling!
Wait a mont—why was there a slot labeled “Thank you for your patronage”?
This all-too-familiar scene made Ye Yu’s limbs go cold.
When he was a child at school, swindlers often used a spinning lottery wheel gimmick, and every ti he spun, he would unfailingly miss the good prizes and land on “Thank you for your patronage.”
Back then, he thought it was simply bad luck; only after growing up did he learn that the wheels were rigged. From then on, he never tried such lotteries again!
Now, seeing those four familiar characters again nearly drove Ye Yu to the brink of collapse!
What did this an? Were there shady rchants in the system too?
What about the Promise of Justice?
Had it really turned into a Heart of Darkness?
With Ye Yu’s heart pounding, the enormous wheel began to spin.
It whirled so fast that the prize icons blurred into streaks.
Sparks of electricity crackled around it, giving it a sowhat intimidating appearance!
When the speed peaked, the wheel gradually slowed down.
It swept past Ancient Great Demon Essence Blood and Supre Celestial Treasures, and was about to land on the four words Ye Yu most dreaded: “Thank you for your patronage.”
Damn it!
Ye Yu’s anger ter exploded! You righteous-heart system really played for a fool!
After saving up so many Justice Points, did I do that for this?
Before Ye Yu could fully erupt, the pointer jolted forward again, narrowly skipping past “Thank you for your patronage” and landing on the next slot!
A purple talisman materialized as if summoned into existence, its light dazzling.
Supre Edict Talisman (Perfection Realm)—it commands the power of Heaven and Earth to serve your will!
In the next instant, every thod of using the Supre Edict Talisman flooded into Ye Yu’s mind, and he comprehended them perfectly.
Another top-tier demon art, and it perfectly filled the gap in his talisman knowledge—truly delightful!
However, in this world his Celestial Demon Realm cultivation felt sowhat underwhelming; he still needed to improve his strength quickly!
Seeing that only 799 Justice Points remained, Ye Yu hesitated.
Should he spend all seven hundred ninety-nine points on the Mortal-tier Lottery to try his luck, or wait a bit longer?
After much deliberation, Ye Yu chose the latter.
Most of the Mortal-tier prizes were useless to him; the chance of hitting sothing good was too slim. Better to wait and see!
No—it was essential to find a way to earn more Justice Points first!
Just as Ye Yu pondered, a gentle fragrance wafted up from behind him.
Turning, he saw Nangong Jingtang approaching.
Ye Yu hastily took a step back and quietly asked, “Didn’t I tell you to rest? Why have you co back?”
“I’m a little afraid on my own.”
Nangong Jingtang’s voice was low and carried a hint of fragility.
Her manner was truly quite stirring.
But there were so things Ye Yu refused to do—like taking advantage of soone in distress.
Nangong Jingtang had just been reborn; her mind had not yet fully recovered, and she looked like a little girl now.
To make a move at a ti like this would be unbecoming even of a demon.
So Ye Yu said, “If you’re scared, I’ll find so female demons to keep you company.”
This was the City Lord’s mansion in Chaotic Demon City; guards and female demon attendants were in no short supply—however many he wanted, he could have.
But Nangong Jingtang rejected his suggestion.
“No, I don’t know them. I don’t want them. I want you with . Will you tell a story?”
Ye Yu’s expression changed.
Woman, you’re asking too much!
After a mont, Ye Yu nonetheless did not refuse Nangong Jingtang’s request and began telling her a story to soothe her to rest.
The next day.
When Ye Jizui returned to the City Lord’s mansion, he happened to see Ye Yu and Nangong Jingtang erging from the room together.
At that mont, his gaze shifted dramatically!
Sure enough, destiny is destiny!
Not only had Ye Yu successfully awakened Nangong Jingtang, he had also bound her as his demon consort.
In the vast Demon Realm, that status alone allowed Ye Yu to stride unchallenged.
He no longer needed anyone’s protection.
Truly enviable!
Ye Jizui shook his head slightly, then walked up respectfully and cupped his hands, saying, “Greetings, Madam Nangong.”
At the gesture, Nangong Jingtang instinctively hid behind Ye Yu, her eyes wary.
This imdiately caused Ye Jizui to frown.
Since Nangong Jingtang’s rebirth yesterday, she had remained sleeping, so there was nothing to comnt on.
But now that she had awakened and yet behaved so strangely—there had to be sothing wrong!
Ye Jizui imdiately pulled Ye Yu aside and asked via mind-transmission, “What’s going on here?”
“You ask , I ask whom? But one thing is certain: Nangong Jingtang’s mind isn’t sound—she’s like a child of only a few years old.”
Ye Yu told him the truth.
In front of Ye Jizui, there was no need to hide anything.
“A mind of only a few years old? How can she assu the City Lord’s position? Besides, although the Hundred Demon Lords of Chaotic Demon City are grateful for her life-saving deed, that gratitude is based on her absolute power.
“If anyone knew her mind was unsound, who could guarantee they wouldn’t sche? After all, her forr strength was terrifying.
“Whoever could control her would wield an invincible weapon, able to do as they pleased in Chaotic Demon City and throughout the Demon Realm!
“If it fell into the hands of warlike demons, it would be a disaster.”
This was sothing Ye Jizui did not wish to see.
He imdiately instructed Ye Yu not to tell anyone this information.
Then he set off at once for the Peacock Clan’s territory, so that his clan’s elders could consult their ancient texts to see if there was any record of the Futian Rebirth Drum’s effects after revival.
Having said this, Ye Jizui turned to leave the mansion—but then abruptly stopped.
He suddenly thought that, rather than have Ye Yu and Nangong Jingtang wait here, it would be better for them to accompany him.
That way, whatever solution was found could be implented sooner!
Ye Yu had wanted to refuse, but the next mont Nangong Jingtang had already grabbed his sleeve.
His ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) refusal dissolved into a sigh.
