The Great Demon King

Chapter 124 "We haven't even slept together yet! "

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Phoebe drank a cup of clear and clear red wine that shone with an astonishing light. He glanced at Han Shuo as he said lowly.

“Not ... not much.” Han Shuo panicked and he stuttered a little.

“Then why do you drool?” Phoebe pointed to the corner of Han Shuo's mouth as she lightly laughed jokingly.

He touched his chin and found that there was a bit of water on his chin. Han Shuo said awkwardly, “Eh, it's not saliva. It's wine, it's really wine. ”

“Oh.” Phoebe smiled happily, “So it's wine. How could you lose some even when drinking wine? Very interesting.”

He continued to feel that the atmosphere was a bit strange. Han Shuo felt very comfortable as he listened to Phoebe's soft and gentle words. His mind continued to make connections as his eyes once again involuntarily floated into a crack in the artificial mountain.

“It's only been a short time since we started eating, and you've already glanced left at the crack in the artificial mountain nine times. Is there anything worth paying attention to? “Phoebe's beautiful eyes shot up and landed on Han Shuo's body as she said lightly.

Out of deep panic, Han Shuo said, “How do you know that I keep glancing over the area, and that I have done it nine times?”

These words made Phoebe's face even more red. He spoke lightly and said lowly, “You've already looked around quickly. Sitting in front of you, of course I see everything. I know what bad thoughts you hide when you look there. ”

“Then, what bad thoughts will you say that I think?” After what he had just gone through, Han Shuo suddenly felt that he was a bit too passive. A demonic practitioner is not afraid of all devotions and is most comfortable when she does what she has in mind, no matter what others will think or say. When he suddenly understood this, Han Shuo no longer wildly cast a silent gaze, but rather stared directly at Phoebe and asked her with a smile.

Phoebe began when the red hue on her cheek slowly spread to her white, slender neck. He stuttered and stuttered, but said nothing with his reddened face. The bashful face that was affected by it was even more easily hurt than Han Shuo before.

Seeing Phoebe like this, Han Shuo laughed happily, feeling that the oppressive passivity from before was completely swept away. She said cheerfully, “Who would think that Miss Phoebe would care so much about me? You've even recorded how many times I glanced. I'm completely overwhelmed by your kindness. ”

“Oh, shut up Bryan, I find that you are full of bad thoughts. Looks like I'll receive the short end of the stick whenever I do business with you in the future. “Phoebe got angry and stared intently at Han Shuo, complaining when he did.

When Phoebe said this, Han Shuo suddenly recalled the matter that had something to do with the McGrady Guild. The humor on his face was immediately replaced with solemnity when he asked Phoebe, “Talking about business suddenly reminds me of something. You mentioned the McGrady Guild last time and said that they are your competitors, right? ”

Phoebe was somewhat surprised that Han Shuo suddenly mentioned this, and she looked at him, surprised. Phoebe nodded and replied, “True, the McGrady Union belongs to the Brut Merchant alliance and has been doing a lot of business in our Lancelot Empire lately. The goods they sent did not travel through the Imperial cities and thus they did not need to pay customs taxes to the Empire. When their items arrived, they could keep their prices low and thus also slightly affect the business of our Guild. ”

Smiling faintly, Han Shuo said, “Not through the right channels can indeed make a huge profit, there are huge, even frightening gains made in industries that are forbidden by the Empire. The McGrady Guild was brave enough to act and take great risks. “”Why did you suddenly mention the McGrady Association?” Phoebe looked at Han Shuo in confusion as she asked him.

“I have friends in the Dark Forest with a rather special profession. He had robbed the McGrady Guild entourage lately and came up with a lot of luxury items. He wants me to get rid of them. I wonder if I can do it through you? ”

“Being a robber is a robber, what profession? There were all sorts of robbers within the Dark Forest, there was nothing strange about it. Heh heh, the McGrady Union would not dare to pass through the Imperial cities because they wanted to avoid high customs taxes. However, this naturally increased the risk of danger, but their McGrady Guild had a personal guard, and therefore, very few robbers were blind enough to take action against them. Your friends are something they can rob. ”

“Of course. So, do you dare to accept items from the McGrady Guild? ”

“Our alliance will receive everything as long as it is not a siege weapon. I've heard that the Empire is investigating this area rather closely recently. Forget it if it was a siege weapon. ”

Han Shuo remembered the thing Emily mentioned when Phoebe spoke, and he seemed to have caught a hint of something. However, Han Shuo had long promised Emily the resources of war. He was only planning to sell to Phoebe the items used by the nobles, so he had no special problems.

“Peace, I will not make your life difficult. I've eaten well today and will come in a few days to find you again. Help me take care of my troubles as soon as possible if you can. ”Han Shuo comforted Phoebe and stood up, preparing to leave.

Seeing that Han Shuo was going to leave, Phoebe hesitated and then said with some difficulty, “I really want to ask too.”

Looking at Phoebe in surprise, Han Shuo asked, “What's the matter?”

“I have to attend the banquet within five days. If I appear alone, some disturbing people may disturb Me. I want you to come with Me and act as my girlfriend like last time. “Phoebe looked a little timidly at Han Shuo and said lightly.

A sad smile on his face, Han Shuo shook his head, “Forget it, I don't want to be your shield anymore. If I provoke the jealousy of others and they come to Me from the darkness, I will be in danger. Why don't you find someone else? ”

“No!” Phoebe shouted, and then explained with a sour expression, “I have previously introduced you to the founding elders in the Guild. If I were to suddenly transform into someone else within a month, they would say I have a loose moral! This really won't work. ”

Han Shuo was still hesitant and looked somewhat uncomfortable. Phoebe looked at Han Shuo, and then pouted. “If someone does not agree, then I also will not be serious about my business. It would be perfectly normal if the thing I promised him was delayed by ten days or half a month. ”

“We begin, how can you allow others to take me to a banquet? What if they take advantage of Me, aren't you worried? “Thin smile reappeared on Phoebe's face when she saw Han Shuo agree.

“Then, aren't you afraid I'll take advantage of you?” Han Shuo rolled his eyes towards Phoebe and said angrily.

When she said these words, Phoebe's pretty face flushed red again, and she looked away, too embarrassed to look at Han Shuo. He said lowly, “No, You've taken all the advantages you can.”

Han Shuo's heart flinched as he looked at the redness of Phoebe's neck and ears, and in a strange coincidence, exclaimed, “Not all. We haven't even slept together! ”

Han Shuo immediately reacted and quickly walked outside before Phoebe had a chance to speak. He hurriedly said, “I'll leave now that I'm full. I'll come five days later. ”

“You scum who speaks villain!” Phoebe had not expected Han Shuo to say such things and instantly became furious. He cursed the fleeing Han Shuo and only laughed lowly as his body accelerated and disappeared. “Sial, how dare he say that to me. Hah, he's getting bolder. ”

It was just past noon after leaving the Boozt Merchant Guild. Since the last time he reported to the Dark Coat, it had been almost a month. Therefore, after seeing the time, Han Shuo rented a carriage and set off for the Dark Mantle fortress.

When he was on the far path, Han Shuo went down and released the three real demons to observe his surroundings, walking into the palace on foot.

“Bos, you're finally here! I've been counting the days and know that you'll come and report soon. Therefore, I deliberately swapped shifts with the others and have been waiting here to take you to the interiors of the organization. ”Chester the bandit came out from the inside when Han Shuo arrived and said humbly happily.

“Eh, why did you call me boss?” Han Shuo looked at Chester strangely and asked him confusedly.

“I'll follow you in the future, and I hope you'll give me tips and hints. Of course I need to express My respect to You. “Chester said something bluntly to Han Shuo.

“This title sounds not very good, let's follow the given name. Heh heh, but don't worry. If there is a good mission, I will ask to take you too, “ Han Shuo said.

After receiving Han Shuo's promise, Chester looked overjoyed and brought Han Shuo inside with great excitement and excitement. He rambled incessantly, asking where Han Shuo had been all this time, and whether he had gone on any mission.

Han Shuo carelessly responded to Chester's question and walked slowly to the inside of the Dark Mantle organization. There were no surprises for her this time, and she walked with an atmosphere of familiarity straight into Candide's room.

“Ooh, you're really here. I think Emily lied to me. ”Candide was sitting in a dark corner and was checking something in a magic gourd. He did not raise his head when Han Shuo entered.

Han Shuo did not anticipate that Emily would mention it, and was a little surprised. She had no idea what Emily had said to Candide, and thus stood still there.

After a while, Candide put the flask in her hand, finally speaking with her evil face that never changed, “Emily said she happened to bump into you in the Dark Forest and somewhat admired your style and abilities. I was quite surprised. I don't think that Emily, to a high standard, would really praise you. There really seems to be some unique things about you. ”

It's okay, Emily's my woman, of course she'll say nice things about me. Han Shuo thought proudly, but maintained his usual expression on his face. He opened his mouth to say, “It has been a month since my last mission. I came to report according to the rules and see if there were any other missions. ”

The Dark Mantle usually did not interfere in personal matters, so Han Shuo did not explain in detail how he and Emily met. Since Emily had already talked about it, she would definitely hide everything that had to be hidden. As long as Han Shuo gave nothing away, nothing happened at all.

Nodding, Candide said, “Emily gave you a series of compliments and said that she wants you to complete the mission in her hands with her. You will share gifts and honor together at that time. What are you thinking? You're one of mine. Emily won't be able to take advantage of you without your consent, but if you agree, then that's another matter entirely. ”

With Han Shuo and Emily's relationship now, there was certainly no reason to disagree. Not to mention Emily needs to extract resources from the forest trolls through Han Shuo for her mission. He was already unknowingly involved in all of this. If this became a mission that he could utilize, then it would be even better.

“No problem, I am willing to complete the mission with him.” Han Shuo did not hesitate and nodded in agreement. He fell silent and said, “The bandit that brought me in, Chester, is pretty smart. Can he join in too? ”

“They are Emily's, it's up to her if she needs anyone else. You can ask her directly, “Candide said weakly, paused and then said,” Emily is Amyes' sister. His status in the Dark Mantle was not low. It would be better for you to interact with him more. However, Emily's identity in reality is somewhat mysterious. Keep an eye out, don't give others any gossip to talk about. ”

Amyes was one of the three heavyweights of the Dark Coat and was responsible for the supervision and investigation of all nobles and officials. He is a character in Dark Mantle who is very active on the political scene, and a person who holds great power in his hands. I can't believe Emily is his sister.

In addition, Candide seems to allude to something else about Emily's other identity. This made Han Shuo slightly surprised, unsure of the meaning of his words.

“It looks like you don't know any of this, let this be a reminder to be careful. Mrs. It'sall. He has already pulled your information carefully and will be able to find you easily. Come find me after you finish the mission with him. ”Candide said as he looked at Han Shuo.
