The spiritual realm of Mo Jin.
Yu Yao listened to the system say that Mo Jin had returned, and indeed, when she checked her past again, she was scared.
She had never done anything like this before. Taking on two men at the same time, one being a god king and the other a demon lord, is unprecedented in this world.
There's always a sense of being sliced at any moment, and my life is in danger.
It's really thrilling.
"System, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might not be able to complete this task."
She spoke to the system in a sincere tone.
The system sneered mockingly, "Oh well, just don't lock me up in the little black room again in the future."
Yu Yao's face turned awkward, and she thought to herself, "Who let you always mock me like that?"
But she said orally: "Completely, am I such a person? I promise, I will never lock you up in the little black room in the future."
The system naturally knew what the host was thinking, rolled a big white eye at her in silent annoyance, and said, "Don't try to apply that strategy of yours for dealing with men on me."
Yu Yao's face stiffened, and she said unhappily, "Completely, can you please not always investigate my thoughts? Then I have no privacy at all."
The system scoffed: "What privacy do you have in my eyes?"
Yu Yao blushed, "Completely, are you male or female? Why can't I tell what your voice sounds like?"
Yu Yao thought, "The system sometimes speaks in a man's voice, sometimes in a woman's voice, and sometimes in a cold mechanical voice. I really don't know its gender."
"I have no gender, I'm not even human, how can I have a gender?"
The system explained again, "I am just an intelligent system."
Yu Yao was not surprised by this answer.
"Oh, host, the demon lord's favorability has risen to 80."
The system suddenly thought of something and reminded her.
Yu Yao's face slightly stiffened, and she originally wanted to ask this question but later forgot about it.
She blinked her eyes: "80 already? It's pretty good."
She remembered that when she disappeared, the demon king's favorability for her was 73.
She didn't expect the favorability to increase by 7 points just by disappearing for a while.
It's good.
Maintaining a distant yet close relationship is indeed something that makes men get attached and worry about their hearts.
Yu Yao secretly pondered when it would be appropriate to appear.
Now is definitely not the time, she still wants to see the peach blossom festival.
How about having an unexpected meeting with the demon king at the peach blossom festival?
No, no, it's not appropriate. Mò Jìn is here, and things could get complicated if both ships go down.
Yu Yao was pacing back and forth at the spot, frowning, and thinking deeply.
She remembered that the demon king's weak period was approaching, during which his power would drop to a third.
The demon king would disguise himself as another person and go on a journey to avoid letting his close ones suspect anything.
It was also during that time that the female protagonist Xiao Yao unexpectedly saved the demon king from the Jin Niu beast.
Yu Yao instantly came up with an idea and decided to replace the female protagonist to save the demon king.
It would be an unexpected encounter, and they would save him again. It's unclear if the demon king would feel more grateful or surprised.
Who knows, maybe that could help increase his favorability even more.
The problem is that the female protagonist Xi Yao is a troublemaker, and we need to figure out a way to get rid of her.
Yu Yao secretly planned and without realizing it, the peach blossom festival quietly approached.
Heavenly realm sent out widespread invitations, and all named demons, ghosts, and devils in the six realms received their invitations.
The Heavenly Court holds a Peach Festival every millennium, but it only invites gods with reputations in the Immortal Realm.
This time, however, they invited all famous gods, demons, and devils from the six realms.
The reason, of course, is that the Heavenly Court lost the battle and wanted to use this opportunity to regain face.
Although everyone knew the truth, they acted as if they didn't.
As the Peach Blossom Festival approached, everyone gathered their clouds and hurried to the Southern Heavenly Gate.
The grand scale of the gathering was unprecedented, and with so many demons, gods, and devils in attendance, it was not an overstatement to say that it was a once-in-a-century event.
Nine-heaven realm.
On the day of the Peach Blossom Festival, the Heavenly Mother was in a fluster, looking at a group of ethereal and beautiful maidens below and ordering:
"You all, go to the Peach Garden and pick all the ripe peaches, and arrange them according to their years."
"You all, go to the Jing Bao Pavilion and fetch the best wines and brews. Remember, you must not disappoint the reputation of the Heavenly Court."
"And you, go to the Food God and check if the preparations for the feast are complete. Once ready, arrange the fairy maidens to carry them to the Jade Pool."
The Heavenly Mother issued command after command, feeling a dull headache and even forgetting what she had said.
As she looked on with her peripheral vision, she saw a very beautiful celestial disciple in the distance, looking around curiously.
Who does this celestial disciple belong to? He is so disorderly.
The Heavenly Mother didn't have time to worry about such matters now; the Jade Pool was in need of personnel at the moment.
Thinking of this, she pointed to the celestial disciple gazing around and said, "You there? Go to the Jade Pool and see if there's anything you can help with."
Yu Yao was instantly stunned, realizing that the celestial disciple she was being called out to.
Yu Yao had been taken out of the spiritual realm by Mo Jin early this morning.
She had transformed into a celestial disciple disguise, and all her demonic aura had been contained.
In contrast, she was imbued with a subtle aura of divinity.
Of course, this was due to the celestial jade she was carrying.
She had just been brought out of the spiritual realm by Mo Jin and appeared at the Purple Dragon Palace, where Mo Jin was quickly called away by the Heavenly Emperor.
Before leaving, Mo Jin had instructed her not to wander around and wait at the Purple Dragon Palace.
Yu Yao had been cooped up in the spiritual realm for so long that she was feeling restless. How could she possibly stay put and wait quietly?
She just wanted to take a look around. After all, on this day of the Peach Blossom Festival, there were all kinds of people and creatures busy with their own matters. Who would have time to care about her?
Little did she know that as soon as she reached the Imperial Garden, she was tasked with work by the Heavenly Mother.
Yu Yao became excited upon hearing that she was being asked to help at the Jade Pool.
The Jade Pool is where the fairies often gather, and she had longed to see it.
"Yes, Heavenly Mother."
She stepped forward two steps, respectfully responding, and then left.
Yu Yao left the Imperial Garden quickly and appeared on the path leading to the celestial palace.
The pathways of the Heavenly Court were extensive and numerous, and she didn't know which direction to take.
She wanted to ask someone for directions, but she was afraid of being suspected.
As a celestial disciple, how could she not know where the Jade Pool is?
So she decided to let the system provide her with a map.
Following the map, she walked towards the Jade Pool, which was resplendent with its golden and splendid appearance, majestic and magnificent, with its jade palaces and beautiful buildings.
As she walked and looked around, it was like Liu Bunu entering the Grand View Garden.
Everything looked strange.
Before long, she arrived at the Jade Pool.
As soon as Yu Yao arrived here, she was immediately pulled away to do some work by someone.
Here, the demon king led his four protectors and eight demons to the gate of the Southern Heaven.
"Youmeng, wait here at the Southern Heaven Gate. If you see her, bring her in."
The demon king instructed his behind-the-scenes attendant Youmeng.
He didn't name names, but Youmeng knew from whom the master referred.
"Yes, my liege."
Youmeng answered respectfully and stood waiting outside the Southern Heaven Gate.
His eyes scanned the area, not wanting to miss anything.
The demon king, accompanied by his people, stepped into the Southern Heaven Gate and, led by the fairy maidens, made their way to the location of the Peach Blossom Festival—the Jade Pool.
The Jade Pool Water Palace, with its jade pavilions and azure pavilions, is adorned with precious flowers, and the sound of music floats around. The palace is resplendent and beautiful beyond words.
Each participant had their own table, and the seats were arranged according to their strength.
People like Mo Jin, the Old Man in the Southern Pole, the Demon King, the King of the Underworld, the King of Demons, and thunder gods like Lei Shen and his wife Diänü are naturally seated on the left side of the Jade Pool.
Those with average strength are seated on the right side.
Some of the smaller demons and celestial beings with lower strength are seated at the very back.
At this time, the Jade Pool has already attracted a number of guests.
The guests were led by the fairy maidens to their respective seats and settled down.
Each table was adorned with celestial fruits, fine wines, and exquisite delicacies.
Of course, there are also peaches.
However, the number and age of these peaches are given according to their strength, so the amount is not the same.
Yu Yao was treated as a messenger boy by the fairy maidens within the Jade Pool, being sent hither and thither.
She was ordered to serve tea for the newly seated immortals and to fetch wine for the demon king.
Occasionally, she would also have to take the ready-made and delivered food and pastries and serve them to the tables at the event.
She was busy like a top, never having a moment of rest.
She is pregnant, right?
Misfortune tears of two wide noodles flowed down.
Purple Dragon Palace.
Mo Jin had already returned from the Heavenly Emperor's side and was about to take Yu Yao to the Jade Pool for the banquet, but when he looked around, he couldn't find her anywhere.
He calculated the situation with his fingers and realized that this woman had not stayed put as she was supposed to, but had instead wandered around.
Just then, he encountered the Heavenly Mother instructing the fairy maidens to do work, and Yu Yao had been assigned as a messenger boy to help at the Jade Pool.
Mo Jin rubbed his temples in pain and felt like he was at a loss.
So he went to the Jade Pool as well.
