Dong Kui, already mortified by the teasing, felt a flush of relief when Zuo Yingchun deftly changed the subject. She hurried to follow suit.
“This book,” she said, holding it up, “the Righteousness Primer, was given to me by Ye Yu. Its contents are rather childish, but if you read it as a joke book, it’s quite amusing!”
As the saying goes, when you love someone, you come to love everything about them. Dong Kui had long since discarded this primer—its very title was enough to repel her. But after falling for Ye Yu, everything changed. This book, once abandoned in a corner, had become a constant companion. She even found it entertaining enough to carry everywhere.
The Righteousness Primer had another, more practical use: she could hold it before her face, ostensibly reading, while in fact eavesdropping on the other ladies’ conversations. This trick had never failed—until today. How embarrassing!
Curious, Zuo Yingchun stepped forward, flipped through a couple of pages, then tossed it back. “What nonsense this is!”
Dong Kui caught the primer, opened it again before her face, and said nothing. Whether it was nonsense or not didn’t matter—what mattered was that it had been Ye Yu’s first gift to her, and she could never find it dull.
At that moment, a roar rang out outside Wuwei Tower.
The assembled ladies’ expressions darkened. They had been in Wuwei Tower long enough to know Ah Kong, their guardian celestial beast. A roar like that meant battle was underway.
They vanished in streaks of light and emerged outside the tower to find Ah Kong dragging a Monkey-Race demon cultivator through the clouds, raining blows upon him. Two more demon cultivators hovered nearby, eager to join in.
Zhu Diezhen’s cold voice rang out: “What do you think you’re doing?”
Startled, the two demons noticed the beautiful celestial maidens. They bristled, then a tall Bull-Race demon stepped forward.
“My name is Niu Ge,” he said. “This is my second brother, the Great Peng demon Lü Xiang, and up there on the clouds is my third brother, Sun Hezhen. We three have just come through from the Demon Realm. Passing by, a misunderstanding occurred. Please forgive us, fair ladies.”
Zuo Yingchun raised an eyebrow. “What misunderstanding? Explain yourself.”



Jiang Jinhe pointed skyward, and countless celestial swords of {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} Extreme Yang Qi materialized, rending the Monkey-Race demon into countless holes. The body collapsed beside Lü Xiang.
