"System didn't hide anything, smiling to explain:"
"The demons have been searching for you all over the place and couldn't find you. The Demon Lord, in a fit of rage, stormed into the deliberative hall and then unleashed his supreme magical power to trace your whereabouts."
"It's somewhat similar to Mo Jin's River of Time, where you can see what you are doing through the images."
"System once again explained."
Yu Yao was stunned and stared in shock, and then trembling asked, "Did the Demon Lord see anything that shouldn't be seen?"
She has been with Mo Jin all this time, hugging, kissing, and such, which is nothing out of the ordinary.
Even more indecent actions have occurred.
She was afraid that the Demon Lord might see something he shouldn't.
The system knew what she was worried about, and chuckled softly twice:
"You're lucky, Mo Jin wasn't there when the Demon Lord checked. All I heard you mutter was how boring it was, and if you wanted to go to the Peach Flower Festival..."
Yu Yao just breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, the system spoke sarcastically, "Master, did you know that right after the Demon Lord dispersed the image, Mo Jin appeared? If the Demon Lord had looked a little longer, he would have seen you and Mo Jin rolling around in the sea of flowers."
Yu Yao also remembered that day's scene. That day, the two of them kissed passionately, almost doing something.
If the Demon Lord had seen this, it would have been a disaster!
She was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.
Yu Yao felt like she was standing on a cliff edge, one wrong step and she would break into pieces.
She lowered her eyes to the increasingly irritable Demon Lord in front of her and suddenly felt a bit guilty.
"All, block all the scenes of me teasing Mo Jin and the intimate moments between us. No, block all the scenes of our time together."
After realizing this, she quickly spoke to the system in her heart.
"Okay."
The system did not refuse, and agreed quite readily.
Yu Yao forgot to refill the Demon Lord's cup because she was chatting with the system in her heart.
Just as the Demon Lord was about to raise his cup, he saw that it was empty. The corners of his eyes furrowed in displeasure, and with the delay of waiting for a long time, he was very irritable.
He gave a glance to Yu Yao, who was clearly daydreaming, and said in an impatient tone, "Don't you think it's time to pour wine for Your Highness?"
His voice was extremely loud, filled with strong dissatisfaction and a sense of command.
Yu Yao was not scared, but the music princess Xiao Yao in the scene was quite scared.
She forgot what she was dancing to and even twisted her ankle, but she dared not stop, enduring the pain and continuing to dance.
Yu Yao lowered her eyes and gave a subtle roll of her eyes at the furious Demon Lord Feng Tian.
What a terrible man! Why so fierce?
But thinking of the man becoming so irritable because he couldn't wait for her, her expression improved significantly.
However, her face was still scared, and she quickly picked up the wine jar to refill his cup.
Mo Jin felt ice cold all over and suddenly stood up from his seat, extending his hand towards Yu Yao and coldly said, "Qing Yao, since the Demon Lord is not satisfied with your service, let someone else take over. As the Taoist apprentice of my god king, it is unnecessary for you to serve others."
His voice was indifferent, but anyone could hear the coldness in it.
The people in the Yao Pool looked at Mo Jin in amazement, and then secretly looked at Yu Yao.
They couldn't help but secretly wonder: What's special about this little Taoist apprentice that's worth Mo Jin's protection and even defiance of the Demon Lord?
The Emperor of the Sky's gaze fell on Yu Yao, and a look of deep thought appeared in his eyes.
The Empress knew Yu Yao at this time and recognized that the little Taoist apprentice was the one she had assigned to help in the Yao Pool.
She had originally wondered which deity this little Taoist apprentice was under, and why he was so lacking in etiquette.
She didn't expect that the apprentice was from the Zihong Palace, it seems he had been spoiled by Mo Jin, with no sense of discipline at all.
The female deities, female demons, and female monsters in the scene looked at Mo Jin's fierce defense of the little Taoist apprentice and were filled with jealousy in their hearts.
They really couldn't see what special place the little Taoist apprentice had that deserved Mo Jin's god king's such favor and protection.
He had even given the little Taoist apprentice a peach that was 9,000 years old to eat earlier.
The jealousy-filled face of Xiyao Princess twisted, and she had no heart to dance. With the pain from her sprained ankle, it was even harder for her to dance.
She didn't dance anymore, ending the dance quickly. She retreated with her beauties in a messy and awkward manner.
Now, Yu Yao became the focal point of everyone's attention, with all sorts of eyes fixated on her.
Yu Yao felt the strange looks from all directions and had an awkward expression on her face.
She glanced at the Demon Lord, and then looked at Mo Jin, whose expression was cold across the table. She hesitated for a moment in her heart and then stepped towards Mo Jin's side.
Halfway there, she heard the mocking voice of the Demon Lord.
"The Demon Lord is very curious, what special qualifications does this little Taoist apprentice have that makes you defend him so fiercely?"
This statement was obviously directed at Mo Jin.
Subsequently, a piercing gaze seemed to penetrate through Yu Yao's entire body.
She felt her whole body stiffen, without even needing to turn around, she knew that the gaze was definitely from the Demon Lord.
Her heart was pounding, fearing that her disguise would be uncovered by the Demon Lord.
If she were to be discovered by the Demon Lord at this moment, she didn't know how she would explain her true identity.
She might not even be able to handle the situation if things went wrong.
In a panic, she took a step back and quickly hid behind Mo Jin.
Mo Jin's tall figure effectively blocked the Demon Lord's gaze from scanning her.
Yu Yao's behavior, from others' perspective, was just scared by the Demon Lord's gaze.
The Demon Lord, though extremely handsome, had a terrifying aura around him. It was perfectly normal to be scared.
The people present did not give it much thought.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Mo Jin lightly patted Yu Yao behind him, his expression gentle and soothing.
Completely different from his previous cold demeanor.
This scene would leave others shocked, their eyes staring in disbelief.
But it was just a small Taoist apprentice, and repeated protection along with such a gentle expression was really odd.
Those who didn't know it might have thought that the apprentice wasn't a Taoist at all but a beautiful woman of extraordinary grace.
The Demon Lord furrowed his brow, he had noticed that the Taoist wasn't right and Mo Jin wasn't right too. However, as the current occasion was not suitable for further investigation, he didn't want to make things awkward.
So he took his eyes back, but his doubts deepened.
Yu Yao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the Demon Lord was no longer staring at her.
Mo Jin looked at the Demon Lord across from him, lifted his white robe, and sat back down.
The Emperor of the Sky looked deeply at Yu Yao and then smiled, saying a few words to make everyone feel better. The banquet soon continued.
Yu Yao stood with her head down behind Mo Jin, too scared to look at the Demon Lord across the table as if he were some terrifying being.
The Demon Lord drank calmly, his gaze unconsciously scanning across the table to Yu Yao.
He caught sight of the eyes that were so much like hers, and the extremely guilty expression.
He sniffed disdainfully, as if he knew whose apprentice the Taoist was.
Women, you really know how to play. You've even managed to get Mo Jin to protect you so fiercely, I'll see how I will punish you when I turn around.
The Demon Lord, thinking of this, suddenly stood up, quickly said a few farewells to the Emperor of the Sky and left with his followers from the Demon Realm.
The King of the Demons, seeing that the people from the Demon Realm had left, also followed suit and left with his farewells.
As the people from the Demon Realm and the Demon King's Court had all left, the main hall of the Yao Pool Palace was quickly left with only half of its occupants.
It had become quite quiet.
If it weren't for fear of offending the Emperor of the Sky, the King of the Underworld would have probably left as well, and other immortals were thinking the same.
The Emperor of the Sky's expression was very difficult to see as he watched the gradually quieter Peach Banquet.
The Empress's expression was also very poor; in order to host such a grand Peach Banquet, almost all the peaches from her Peaches Garden had been picked.
There were only some undercooked peaches left there.
She really spared no expense.
The result, however, was not as expected, and her expression could be pleasant only in dreams.
……
On the other side, after the Demon Lord left the Yao Pool, he did not immediately leave the Heavenly Realm.
He instructed his subordinates to return to the Demon Realm first and then left alone.
After the Demon Lord left, he did not go anywhere, but instead transformed into another appearance and quietly infiltrated the Zihong Palace.
He was not sure how Yu Meiji had disguised herself, making it difficult for him to see her true form.
But the Demon Lord knew that it must be Mo Jin's doing.
Only the divine abilities of Mo Jin could block his inspection.
In the Yao Pool.
With the departure of the people from the Demon Realm and the Demon King's Court, those who remained felt that there was no point in staying, and their enthusiasm for drinking was not high.
The Emperor of the Sky did not force everyone to stay, so he announced that the Peach Banquet was over.
As the banquet ended, the immortals began to leave one by one.
Yu Yao also left the Yao Pool with Mo Jin.
Just as they were about to leave, Mo Jin was called away by the Emperor of the Sky.
Before he left, he told Yu Yao to return to the Zihong Palace first, behave herself in the Zihong Palace and wait for him, and not to wander around.
Yu Yao did as she was told and went back.
However, as soon as she stepped into the Zihong Palace, she was quickly taken away by a black mist that suddenly appeared from nowhere.
The speed was so fast that no one noticed.
