Ye Yu’s expression shifted oddly as he regarded the reporting demon guard and asked in puzzlement, “You’re saying the envoy from Dong Yao State has arrived to report?”
The guard replied, “Reporting, Your Excellency: it is indeed the Dong Yao State envoy! Shall I admit her? If not, I can send her back at once.”
Though the guard was unsure why, he dared not ask further.
Ye Yu did not hesitate long and decided to receive the envoy.
Once the guard departed, Mo Geilian looked at his brother in bewilderment. “Big Brother, why are you reacting so strongly to Dong Yao State?”
“Nothing in particular,” Ye Yu said with a slight shake of his head. “It just reminded me of an old acquaintance.”
He recalled that in his first demon-realm dream, he had been in Dong Yao State—and at that time Bai Xichu still held the title of Demon Lord there. So much time had passed; surely the demon lord of Dong Yao State had changed many times since.
Before Ye Yu could ponder further, a graceful figure glided into the hall. She inclined her head in a polite bow and introduced herself, “Greetings, Lotus State Demon Lord. I am Xu Nanqiao, envoy of Dong Yao State.”
At her entrance, Ye Yu appraised the woman’s striking beauty and cool, regal mien, her clear, icy eyes leaving an unforgettable impression—surely Dong Yao State produced the finest demonesses around.
Yet Ye Yu quickly regained his composure and asked softly, “May I inquire the purpose of your visit?”
Xu Nanqiao’s gaze flickered to Mo Geilian. “Demon Lord, I wish to speak with you alone. Is ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) that acceptable?”
Ye Yu cut her off immediately: “No. He is my brother—there is nothing he must be excluded from.”
He refused without hesitation. Having just endured the tragedy of A Rui, Ye Yu would not allow Mo Geilian any further emotional wounds.
Indeed, men often mask a delicate heart beneath a careless façade—male demons no less so.
Upon hearing Ye Yu’s firm words, Mo Geilian straightened with pride. Big Brother trusts me—how could I be left out? Yet he reminded himself to remain sensible.
She bowed respectfully and said, “Forgive me, Demon Lord. It is not that I am overly particular—only that the Heaven-Conquering Plan has not been made public. Some matters must be addressed only to each state’s demon lord.”

Pointing first to Dong Yao State and then to Lotus State, Xu Nanqiao explained the mission. Both states were minor territories in the Demon Realm: lacking strength and land compared to the great states. Once the Heaven-Conquering Plan commenced, they would surely suffer.
