True identity

At the same time!

An uninvited guest arrived in Demon City!

This woman was dressed in a vibrant red outfit, appearing like a maid, yet possessing an extraordinary demeanor.

She was tall, graceful, and as cold as an immortal.

She was a remarkably powerful being.

She resembled a celestial maiden walking among mortals, transcendent and refined.

Her aura was so formidable that even Three Yang experts would feel astonished and fearful upon encountering her.

"Who is this person?"

Someone, seeing the woman soaring uninhibitedly across the sky, asked in shock.

Just a distant glance at her figure caused a scorching sensation, as if one's soul was being burned.

"I don't know!"

"It seems there's no such person in the Northern Region!"

"The emergence of the True Demon Inheritance has indeed attracted all sorts of characters, even drawing in experts from beyond the Northern Region."

As everyone discussed, the woman, as cold as an immortal, moved like sparks and lightning, finally arriving before a waterfall.

"Miss!"

She paused in front of Fire Linger, her voice filled with joyful surprise.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Fire Linger visibly brightened.

"Jiang Cui, why are you here?"

By the serene cold pond, the woman Fire Linger called Jiang Cui stood respectfully to the side.

With a bitter expression, she said, "Miss, you've had enough fun for now, please come back with me!"

"If Master finds out I let you out, he'll break my legs!"

Fire Linger waved her hand dismissively, all traces of her previous gentleness and shyness gone, replaced by an imposing aura: "What are you afraid of? Father dotes on me the most."

"As long as I plead with him, Father definitely won't make things difficult for you."

"Besides, you are a descendant of our Jiang Family's Eight-Eyed Protector, and one of the future Imperial Guards."

"How could Father bear to break your legs?"

Jiang Cui, whose real name is Jiang Cui!

She came from an ancient family.

And Fire Linger, whom she called Miss, naturally also came from the same place as her.

Fire Linger was just her nickname; her true name was Jiang Linger!

Seeing that her young mistress refused to return with her, Jiang Cui's eyes filled with helplessness.

"Miss, what's so fun about this Northern Region?"

"You are that lofty True Phoenix; looking at everyone in the entire Northern Region, they are nothing but a bunch of common chickens."

"How can a Green Dragon fall into a snake pit? And how can a True Phoenix associate with chickens?"

"Isn't what you're doing boring? And you even disguised yourself to look so ugly."

To be fair, Fire Linger's appearance was not ugly; in fact, she possessed a touch of vivacity.

But Jiang Cui had grown up with her and had witnessed her peerless beauty, capable of captivating cities and kingdoms.

Compared to that, Fire Linger's current appearance, to her, was indeed extremely ugly.

Fire Linger chuckled upon hearing this.

"Jiang Cui, you don't understand!"

"This Northern Region is quite interesting!"

"I, this young lady, just want to play the pig to eat the tiger, and finally astound everyone."

"What's annoying is that I finally chose a target, only to be astounded by him instead."

"If I don't get even, I, this young lady, will never leave."

These words startled Jiang Cui.

What kind of existence was her young mistress?

Her discerning eye and status were terrifyingly high.

Looking at the entire Northern Region, no one should have been able to catch her eye.

Now she was actually saying that someone had astounded her.

This surprised her and also sparked a hint of curiosity.

"Miss, who is the other party?"

Fire Linger's eyes sparkled as she recounted to Jiang Cui the story of how she met Zhong Qing.

And Jiang Cui, upon hearing that Zhong Qing, at less than twenty years old, could establish a powerful force, overthrow Fu Wang Palace, one of the Four Transcendent Powers of the Northern Region, kill Heavenly Sect members, and scare away the Master of the Giant Eye, couldn't help but be slightly moved.

Of course, it was limited to that.

Within the Jiang Family, there were many people even more astonishing than this, not just a few.

Among them were reincarnated immortals, supreme blood relatives, and descendants of Great Emperors.

Each of these individuals was an existence that could turn the impossible into possible, breaking the shackles and conventions of the mundane world.

Zhong Qing's performance merely allowed her to give him a second glance.

At this moment, Fire Linger appeared very excited and joyful.

"Jiang Cui, I pretended to be a rogue cultivator and blended in behind Zhong Qing; even now, he hasn't discovered my identity or noticed anything unusual about me."

"Isn't this disguise and acting amazing!"

Jiang Cui's expression was a bit strange.

Sometimes, she truly didn't understand her young mistress's thought process.

She clearly possessed a heaven-defying background and connections; if she wanted, with the Jiang Family's power, she could even live a life of ease and reach heights that other cultivators could only dream of in their entire lives.

Yet, her focus was unusually different from others.

Instead of flaunting her excellent family background, she chose to boast about her acting skills.

After all, she was her young mistress.

Seeing Fire Linger's 'please praise me' expression.

Jiang Cui could only echo and lavishly praise Fire Linger.

"Miss's acting is naturally profound, seamlessly integrated, and has reached an unprecedented level that astounds heaven and earth and moves ghosts and gods."

"It truly opens Jiang Cui's eyes and leaves me far behind."

This praise was quite insincere and exaggerated, but unfortunately, Fire Linger loved it.

She listened, her large, gem-like eyes filled with joy and laughter.

As the two chatted and talked, Fire Linger seemed to remember something.

"Oh, right, my good Jiang Cui, do you have any Lost Emperor Powder with you?"

This made Jiang Cui pause.

She subconsciously asked, "Miss, what do you need Lost Emperor Powder for?"

It wasn't surprising that she asked this.

Lost Emperor Powder was an extremely high-grade item.

It was a rare and precious treasure.

It could even knock out a Great Emperor.

If burned into smoke, it could incapacitate all living beings in the entire Northern Region.

Its effects were incredibly terrifying and overbearing.

She naturally wasn't worried about the people of the Northern Region.

In fact, if her young mistress desired it, annihilating everyone in the Northern Region would not be out of the question.

But she was afraid that Fire Linger might not control the dosage properly and end up harming herself.

Fire Linger didn't respond directly, but instead said enthusiastically, "So, you brought some."

"Quick, give me some!"

"I wanted to sleep with Zhong Qing before, but his physique is quite special; the Holy Spirit Powder I used on him earlier had no effect."

"Today, I absolutely cannot let him escape my clutches!"

As she spoke, she clenched her fist, her eyes sparkling, frighteningly bright.

She was a complete female hooligan.

Jiang Cui's forehead broke out in a sweat.

When did her young mistress become so wild?

She hesitated for a moment, then cautiously advised, "Miss, he's just a native; no matter how extraordinary he is, how can he be worthy of your noble status?"

"Admittedly, that Heaven-Shaking Earth-Fighting Divine Art in our clan requires breaking one's virginity before it can be cultivated."

"But there are countless prodigies in our clan, not to mention within our own clan, there are also some terrifying existences in the several great ancient families. Why must you give your precious body to such a native?"

Fire Linger glared at Jiang Cui in annoyance.

"Jiang Cui, don't say such things again in the future."

"My willingness is priceless."

"What if those people have noble statuses? Can they be nobler than me, this young lady?"

"Besides, Zhong Qing is not a native of the Northern Region!"

"He comes from the Eastern Region!"

Fire Linger spoke seriously, but Jiang Cui was dumbfounded!

The Eastern Region, that was even worse than the Northern Region!

If, in her eyes, the Northern Region was just a shallow puddle.

Then the Eastern Region was a pitted wasteland.

Completely unpresentable.

She had the intention to persuade a few more words, but seeing Fire Linger's determined gaze, as if she had already made up her mind.

Jiang Cui opened her mouth, but ultimately chose silence.

Her young mistress had a point.

Given her status, there really weren't many existences in this world that could be compared to her.

When one's status reaches a certain height, what matters is matching family backgrounds.

But when one's status is too high, so-called restrictions seem to become superfluous.

Moreover, at her young mistress's current age, it was the best time to cultivate the Heaven-Shaking Earth-Fighting Art.

As a maid, she truly had no right to comment on who her young mistress chose to intimately associate with.

Finally, at Fire Linger's strong insistence, Jiang Cui could only give her a small amount of Lost Emperor Powder.

At the same time, she solemnly instructed, "Miss, this Lost Emperor Powder is very potent; you must use it carefully."

"Alright!"

Fire Linger waved her hand indifferently.

"Jiang Cui, you may retreat for now; Zhong Qing should be back soon."

"Don't let him discover you and ruin my important plans."

As she spoke, she looked expectantly into the distance.

The smile on her lips gradually became warped.
