Chapter 143: Why the Flower Market Card is so popular in the entertainment industry
Yingnujun treated Zhanchunyuan as her own home and opened the door to the dream world and walked in.
She looked around the Zhanchun Courtyard, searching for Qin Muyue, but the inner room was empty. She frowned slightly, as if she was displeased that Qin Muyue was not there.
She moved to the corridor and happened to run into the Demon Lord carrying a food box. The handsome and charming figure of the man came into view.
He was carrying a lunch box, ready to deliver it to Qin Muyue.
The seductive woman rolled her eyes.
"Ouch~!" Yingnvjun suddenly screamed, and deliberately lost her balance, as if she was blown away by a gust of wind, and rushed straight towards Shen Zhao.
Shen Zhao reacted very quickly. He slightly tilted his body to avoid Yingnvjun's embrace.
But Lady Ying seemed to have planned it in advance. She turned her arm nimbly and tightly grasped the sleeve of the Demon Lord.
As the Demon Lord, Shen Zhao was naturally not known for his gentleness and elegance. He grabbed the void with his fingers, and the demonic energy gathered into a blood-dark mixed body. With a palm with murderous intent, he went straight for the heart of Lady Ying.
Lady Ying was quite powerful. She circled her jade hand in the air, and with her powerful demonic power she opened the dream world and easily eliminated the Hunyuan body.
There was a hint of teasing in her eyes, and her voice was gentle. "Master Demon, are you avoiding me? I just want to find someone to talk to."
"Ms. Ying, there's not much to talk about between you and me." Shen Zhao's voice was calm. He tried to pull out his sleeves, but Ms. Ying held on even tighter.
"Shen Zhao, as an ally, will you really not do me the honor of having a drink with me?" Ying Nujun's eyes were as charming as silk, and she looked like a woman who was not afraid of a strong man.
"I am busy with something, so I advise you to let go, otherwise I will not be polite!" Shen Zhao frowned, and his deep red devil eyes flashed with murderous intent. He thought that at worst he could take advantage of the situation, demolish Zhanchunyuan, and kidnap the little master to the demon world.
Lady Ying shamelessly let go of the sleeve of the Demon Lord and saw the food box. "Why are you carrying a food box?" Lady Ying was surprised to see that he was full of smoke. "The Demon Lord actually knows how to cook. Is it because my demon chef didn't treat me well enough?"
Shen Zhao held the food box behind him, his expression becoming increasingly stern. "Lady Ying, I'm just preparing some food for Fairy Qin."
Lady Ying was slightly jealous, her voice sweet but with a hint of sourness. "Qin Muyue is just a mortal, how lucky she is to have the Demon Lord cook for her personally."
"Lady Ying, although Qin Muyue is a mortal, the position she holds in my heart is not something you can interfere with." There was a hint of warning in Shen Zhao's voice. He secretly hated that he did not give priority to killing this woman when he disguised himself as an evil cultivator to intercept Jimo Hou and her.
Lady Ying's face changed slightly, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes. "Master Demon, there is a difference between demons and mortals. I, Lady Ying, am one of the best in the demon race. How can I be inferior to a mortal?"
Shen Zhao narrowed his almond-shaped eyes slightly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes. "Ms. Ying, your status and strength have nothing to do with me. I only care about Qin Muyue."
Lady Ying was even more furious, her fingers trembling slightly, obviously angered by Shen Zhao's words. "Demon Lord, we are allies. Even if Qin Muyue is a mortal, you have to keep your distance, otherwise it will be difficult for the demons to trust the demon world."
Shen Zhao's eyes revealed a hint of cruelty, and his voice was threatening. "Ally? Lady Ying, if you continue to act unreasonably, don't blame me for not remembering our friendship."
Yingnvjun's face darkened. She knew that she had touched Shen Zhao's bottom line.
"Demon Lord, do you really think Qin Muyue will be devoted to you?" Ying Nujun's voice was full of temptation, and she tried to plant the seeds of doubt in the other party's heart. "She is a mortal, and you are the Demon Lord. Who is deliberately deceiving people?"
Shen Zhao's demonic energy was ready to go, and his voice was a bit cold. "Ms. Ying, you don't need to worry about what's going on between Qin Muyue and me. Just take care of yourself."
Yingnujun's face turned gloomy. It was really special that there was a man in the demon tribe whom she couldn't get.
"My Lord Demon, I was just joking. I believe that our alliance will not be affected in any way." Ying Nujun giggled, turned and left, her figure gradually disappeared into the dream world gate.
Shen Zhao watched Ying Nujun leave coldly. He knew that this woman would not give up easily, but her instigation had no effect on him.
There is only Qin Muyue in his heart, and no one else can interfere.
He turned around and continued walking towards Qin Muyue's pavilion. The aroma from the food box filled the air. It was the dinner he personally prepared for Qin Muyue.
At night, palace lanterns were lit in Zhanchunyuan. The girl sat at the table in a wheelchair, watching the White Snake playing the bamboo flute.
"Oh my, that's great. I didn't expect that you, Bai Yueguang, can play music. It's a pity that I can't dance anymore." The girl drank tea and nodded her head to express her affirmation.
Shen Zhao walked to Qin Muyue's side, gently placed the food box on the table, and then opened the lid, revealing the delicious food inside. "Little Master, I prepared dinner for you, I hope you like it."
The girl turned her head, and her eyes lit up the moment she saw the table full of food.
"Gourd duck, steamed bear paw, traditional mutton, golden crab, uh...what's up with this black mushroom soup?"
"This is a soup made from the devil's specialty, the Weeping Ghost Mushroom, the White Bone Ghost Pen, the Crab Claw Parasol and other mushrooms that are highly praised by the demons. It's very delicious. Master, you can try it." Shen Zhao poured a bowl of the dark-looking mushroom soup and handed it to the girl like he was presenting a treasure.
Qin Muyue looked at the bowl of black soup and frowned slightly, but then relaxed again. She knew that Shen Zhao would not harm her. Besides, she was immune to all poisons. She was only worried that it would taste bad.
She took the soup bowl, blew on it gently, and then took a sip.
"Well, although it looks a bit...special, it tastes really good, with a unique fresh fragrance." Her expression changed from initial hesitation to surprise.
Seeing this, Shen Zhao showed a satisfied smile on his face.
He knew that Qin Muyue had a very picky taste. All his cooking practice for so long had finally paid off. He had finally captured a woman's stomach. Why should he be afraid of not being able to capture her heart?
"As long as you like it, little master, I'm glad. These are the ingredients I specially picked for you. Every dish is made with your sincere heart." Shen Zhao said as he picked up some other dishes for Qin Muyue.
The two had dinner together under the moonlight, with the surrounding palace lanterns casting a warm glow.
The white snake was still playing the bamboo flute, and the melodious music sounded like a snake leisurely spitting out its tongue.
As time passed, the dinner gradually came to an end. Shen Zhao cleaned up the tableware and brewed a pot of her favorite flower tea for Qin Muyue.
"Junior Master, the moonlight is beautiful tonight, how about a game of Flower Market Cards?" Shen Zhao suggested as he sat down.
"Okay!" The girl thought to herself that this was the perfect dessert after dinner, and she nodded immediately.
Shen Zhao took out a deck of exquisite cards with various dots painted on the cards, from one to twelve. They looked ordinary, but they were the most popular flower cards in the romantic world of the three tribes of demons and ghosts. The rules of the game made both men and women who came and went unable to stop.
He placed the cards in front of Qin Muyue and began to shuffle them with skillful and graceful movements.
"Junior Master, the loser of this game needs to take off a piece of clothing." Shen Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, his long eyelashes drooped slightly, his eyes were full of autumn water, and his words made the atmosphere ambiguous.
The girl frowned in a reserved manner, looking like a cold and otherworldly expert. "Isn't this bad?"
"Little Master, you must keep your promise to me." Shen Zhao held the girl's hand, circling his thumb in her palm, his tone becoming increasingly deep and magnetic.
The girl opened her folding fan to half cover her moon-like face. Her cat-like pupils seemed to be shy and annoyed, and the corners of her eyes were slightly raised. She sighed softly as if she compromised: "Forget it, I'll play cards as you said."
[Hey hey hey, Daozu, how dare he do that? You are the Daozu of the Great Dao of Space and Time. Even if your cultivation is not good enough, you still have time to freeze him for a few seconds and cheat!]
[Shh, we secretly plotted]
The two began to play cards. Although Qin Muyue was sitting in a wheelchair, her movements were agile and her eyes were sharp, and every card she played was full of strategy.
Shen Zhao was not to be outdone. His eyes were focused and every decision he made seemed well thought out.
But Shen Zhao had less and less clothing on his body, and when he took off his inner garment, he deliberately let the clothes slide off slowly.
Qin Muyue's eyes were involuntarily attracted by Shen Zhao's actions, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Shen Zhao has smooth body lines, strong but not exaggerated muscles, and every inch of his skin exudes strength and beauty.
"Young Master, it looks like I'm doomed to lose tonight." Shen Zhao's voice contained a hint of joking, but his eyes were full of enjoyment.
Ask the men in Hou Tu Kingdom, who wouldn’t want to show off his carefully disciplined and strictly shaped body in front of his beloved wife?
As the saying goes, it is a man's honor to please his wife. There are only lazy men, not ugly men. Men who don't know how to manage their body deserve to be unwanted and will never be married to their wives!
He thought that he was becoming more and more like a peacock spreading its tail, showing off his figure even while playing cards.
He even deliberately dropped the cards at the girl's feet, and then he crawled over on his knees.
He lay on the girl's knees, lowered his eyebrows, and looked up at her with his almond-shaped eyes. His face was slightly flushed, his lips were moist, and the tip of his scarlet tongue was slightly exposed.
"Young Master, what should I do? The card has slipped to my chest and is stuck." He released the card with his jade-like fingers and tensed his chest muscles, holding the two-finger-wide wooden card in his hand.
The girl's heartbeat quickened, and she felt her face getting hot. Shen Zhao was as hot as a veteran who was famous in the entertainment industry, and she was losing control.
Shen Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were very seductive, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, and the tip of his tongue brushed across his canine teeth. "Little Master, I am just enjoying the game between us."
His fingertips slowly and deliberately stroked his chin, causing Qin Muyue's eyes to follow involuntarily.
The fingertips drew a thin red mark down the neck, making the atmosphere even more ambiguous.
The girl almost couldn't control her character and wanted to say "You are so hot~!"
"Shen Zhao, you are playing with fire." Qin Muyue's voice contained a hint of warning, but her eyes revealed a hint of appreciation.
Shen Zhao pulled his hair crown, his black hair scattered on the cold white porcelain skin. He put his hands on the girl's knees, with a hint of pleading in his eyes and his moist lips slightly parted. "Little Master, help me pick it up, otherwise the game can't continue."
The girl tried to push his hand away, playing hard to get, but was caught as expected.
Shen Zhao's eyes were dim, and he pressed the girl's hand on his chest with his big hand. He took the opportunity to clasp the girl's five fingers with his long fingers, letting her feel the heart beating hotly for her.
A slight gasp escaped from his throat: "If the young master doesn't like it... just dig out Ah Zhao's heart again?"
Qin Muyue's heart was beating like a drum. She could feel Shen Zhao's body temperature and heartbeat. All this made her feel an unprecedented tension and excitement.
Shen Zhao's affectionate eyes were filled with nothing but sincerity and enthusiasm.
"Shen Zhao, why are you doing this? How could I bear to hurt you?" Qin Muyue's voice softened, and her fingers unconsciously stroked his chest lightly.
"Does the young master have A Zhao in his heart?" Shen Zhao's voice was low and pleasant.
Shen Zhao showed a satisfied smile on his face. The little master said that he couldn't bear to hurt him. The little master had me in his heart!
[Demon Lord Favorability 98/100]
When the girl heard the automatic broadcast, she became even more excited. Her cultivation and treasures were beckoning her.
"You are my disciple. What else can I do if I don't care about you?" It's reasonable for me, your master, to care about you. Don't blame me if there is any misunderstanding. The girl absolved herself of responsibility in her mind while smiling reservedly.
He gently held Qin Muyue's hand, brought it to his lips and pressed it against them.
Qin Muyue sighed softly, pulled out her hand, and then carefully picked up the card from Shen Zhao's chest.
"Let's continue playing cards." Qin Muyue shook the wood chip.
"Disciple obeys your command." A doting smile appeared on Shen Zhao's face. He felt that his little master's mouth was as sweet as honey and he really wanted to taste it.
He sat up straighter and continued shuffling the cards.
The two continued to play Flower Market cards. As the game progressed, Shen Zhao's clothes became less and less, but he didn't seem to care. Instead, he enjoyed her gaze even more.
The girl was feasting her eyes and her face turned red from trying to hold back her laughter, but the other party mistook it for embarrassment.
Finally, when Shen Zhao had only one round left, he had only one piece of cloth left to lose.
At this moment, someone suddenly triggered the barrier of Zhanchunyuan. Shen Zhao looked annoyed, a flash of demonic energy appeared, and he immediately dressed neatly.
The visitor walked into the yard anxiously and saw the Demon Lord and the girl in the pavilion. It was late at night and his expression was slightly sluggish.
"Miss Qin... please save my sister!" Hua Xinfeng just remembered what he was doing. He lifted up his clothes and pretended to kneel down.
The Demon Lord noticed that the girl winked at him, and subconsciously used his magic power to hold the Regent's knees.
"Your Highness, please get up first and tell me slowly what happened?" The girl looked gentle and stared at the man seriously.
"Miss Qin, I heard that you have used poison to knock down countless outstanding Nascent Soul cultivators. Then do you have a way to cure the strange poison my sister has been poisoned with?" Hua Xinfeng's eyes were red, and his handsome face was full of anxiety and self-blame.
The girl was thinking that the Dream Eaters Alliance had actually poisoned Hua Ling. It seemed that the Regent's military defense was indeed very powerful.
"Don't panic, Your Highness. I will go with you to save people now." The girl made a prompt decision and let Bai Yueguang push her wheelchair closer to the Regent.
