Chapter 227: Chapter 145 New House

This is not to say that he likes the girl, although she is quite sweet-looking. He has many stunning beauties by his side, but none as refreshingly sweet as her. He simply felt purely that this girl was sincere and not pretentious, creating a faint sense of intimacy when by his side.

In front of outsiders, he is an unapproachable Young Master; in front of servants, he is a tyrant who decides life and death at will. But sometimes he too feels weary, perhaps occasionally tender-hearted, craving a leisurely, relaxed, undisturbed afternoon nap.

The grilled fish she made was indeed quite good. Miluo unconsciously licked his lips, fortunate that his subordinates standing behind could not see this action. He always looked down on mortals, yet surprisingly found among them some interesting individuals. Fengtian Prefecture was never short of exquisite delicacies, yet none had the wild charm of her cooking.

As for the subsequent pufferfish, he really had overestimated himself. Relying on his immunity to ordinary toxins, he dared to try it, and was unexpectedly defeated by this tiny fish. Even now, he did not understand why after eating this fish, he could not move his body at all; normally he could kill with a mere thought, but then he couldn’t even control his little finger. At that moment, he had harbored a murderous intent towards "Li Mengxue", however, she had already mentioned the pufferfish was poisonous, it was his own choice to eat it, was it anyone else’s fault?

But though he couldn’t speak nor move, his Divine Thought wasn’t restricted. Ning Xiaoxian’s subsequent actions were all sensed by him. It must be said, the girl’s mind was truly clever, managing to perform an impressive act right in front of his subordinates.

Miluo was proud, if he had unfortunately shown weakness in front of his subordinates this time, the first person he would have blamed was "Li Mengxue". However, she subtly covered his weakness, which instead evoked a subtle gratitude in his heart.

Over the years, Fengtian Prefecture, although gradually becoming stronger, remained a den of demons, with several other "Young Masters" like him. The old man’s health was deteriorating, possibly nearing the time of Heavenly Person Five Decays; before this, he not only needed to solidify his position but also expand his power, to prove to the old man that he was the most outstanding one!

For this reason, he must appear strong, cold, and profoundly astute in front of everyone; he could not show any signs of weakness!

Da Zi was a spy placed by the old man next to him, with each "Young Master" having similar spies. Although he desired to eliminate her quickly, now was not the best time. "Li Mengxue" preserving his dignity was akin to earning him more opportunities in front of the old man.

Unseen, he owed this young lady a favor, thus he spared her life.

At this moment, Miluo was unaware that the person he had strictly ordered to be tracked down was precisely the one he had personally spared. There is always a way out under Heaven, a slight chance of survival, and Ning Xiaoxian sharply grasped this fleeting opportunity.

He also did not know that, one day, he would bitterly regret this act of kindness.

For the following half-day, Ning Xiaoxian was like walking on thin ice. As Lord Changtian’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, obviously still angry about her rash venture into the horse bandits’ camp. She was careful to flatter him in every way until after nightfall when his expression gradually softened.

That pufferfish, he let Ning Xiaoxian prepare the same way, to test it himself.

Dozens of breaths later, the results of the poison test came out. Naturally, the pufferfish toxin could not affect Changtian, but he also did not feel the paralytic side effects of the poison. Aside from his cultivation being deeper than Miluo’s, it was also more likely that the fox demon clan was not immune to pufferfish toxin.

Therefore, the Qing Lang Jun in that little river were really done for. She spent half a day catching all the pufferfish she could and handed them over to Changtian, who extracted the toxin from the fish. This might become her surprise winning weapon should she confront Miluo face to face one day.

After these tasks, exhausted from two days of running, she was still unable to rest properly. The small wooden house on the Fifth Floor of the God Demon Prison was built by Changtian the night before, but she hadn’t had a chance to come in and see her new house.

The Fifth Floor originally had only one small cabin, which was used by the previous master of the God Demon Prison to store seeds and harvests. But now, beside the Spiritual Spring, a new house has been erected. This small cabin was made of pine wood she had felled, and was strictly constructed according to her blueprints.
