Above all spirits

Chapter 39 Chance Encounter

Gu Yun turned to look at the black market, narrowing his eyes as he followed the direction that had triggered Werner's intense emotions.

At first glance, Gu Yun didn't notice anything unusual; it was all normal business negotiations and vendors' calls.

The small dark figure shrank into the shadows and said in a deep voice.

"Nothing, just keep walking."

They did not follow Werner's orders.

Gu Yun merely raised the corners of his mouth slightly and walked towards the black market.

He observed for a while before he understood why Werner was disappointed.

He should have thought of this long ago.

This is where Werner, the Shadow Star, used to live.

The only person Werner still cares about is his beloved, the one who gave him his first opportunity, though whether that kindness was genuine is debatable.

She was the only one who could cause Werner such a dramatic emotional fluctuation.

The black market is also the area with the highest flow of people.

Although the probability of encountering it is not high.

However, it's not surprising if you actually encounter it; it's within a reasonable range.

Werner noticed Gu Yun's movements.

The small dark figure reappeared on the right shoulder, glanced at the direction Gu Yun was heading straight for, and saw that at the end of that direction, there was still a woman, just as she had seen before, nestled in the arms of a man, talking to a vendor.

I guess they're still deciding what to buy or asking about prices and haggling?

But no matter what they are doing.

Without a doubt, this woman must be exactly as Gu Yun guessed.

It's the humanoid form of the white moonlight female demon that Werner had been mentioning in his words.

The small dark figure whispered, with a hint of pleading in its voice.

"Gu Yun, don't do anything rash. Don't do anything pointless."

There's no need to waste time here.

Gu Yun shook his head.

"You almost got me all confused. Who am I now?"

"I am a member of the Star Moon Demon Clan, a royal family that reigns supreme in this star region."

"Why be silly and search for it yourself? Isn't it better to have two little guides?"

Gu Yun reached out and pressed the small dark figure into the shadow on his shoulder.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless. I'll give you face, won't I?"

"Just asking for directions, and incidentally finding out some information."

The little black figure was taken aback.

"This isn't a contradiction. The life rank suppression here is a degraded version. How could a member of royalty like you use it..."

"Don't worry, people with guilty consciences will naturally make up reasons for me."

"Although I don't know what the Dark Prison Demons are planning, I know they must be doing something."

A cold glint flashed in Gu Yun's eyes. Unlike Werner, who was simple-minded, he thought a lot. He had considered many possible scenarios when Werner first mentioned it to him.

He didn't know what race of demon the woman in front of him was; Werner hadn't told him and wouldn't tell him, but judging from the aura she exuded, she was far inferior to the man beside her.

It should be noted that he is currently in control of the body of the Star Moon Demon Clan, so the level of perception he can reach is naturally different from that of his original body.

It was an invisible connection from the bloodline. The woman's aura was very calm, suggesting she was from an ordinary demon race, perhaps without even a family.

But men are different; their aura feedback is no weaker than one's own.

This man is a member of the demon royal family.

As for who else could be the demon royal family of Shadow Star, it's estimated that 80% to 90% of them are Dark Prison Demons.

So here's the question: how could a royal man have a relationship with a mortal woman?

Of course, one-night stands cannot be ruled out.

But Gu Yun's intuition told her that it wasn't true.

This woman must have very special exclusive powers.

The only valuable and unique aspect of ordinary demons is their exclusive powers.

"Gentlemen, I'm passing through Shadow Star and I'd like to find the reception area here, which is disguised as a lower realm. Could you please show me the way?"

To show that Gu Yun was speaking to the two of them, he patted them on the shoulder.

The man paused, released his grip on the woman's waist, and the woman realized what was happening. The two slowly turned around.

A deep, cold voice then followed.

"There's so much trash in the garbage area. Are there really some clueless people who come here on their own..."

Upon seeing the pale golden pentagram, the man immediately stopped his threatening words.

It felt as if a hand was tightly gripping his throat.

Looking at Gu Yun, who still had a smile on his face.

A bead of cold sweat quietly trickled down the man's back.

Star... Star-Moon Demon?!

Why would the Star Moon Demon Clan come to such a remote and impoverished place?!

Or were they targeting me?!

Could there be a problem at the higher-ups?

Did they discover the power experiment?

Want a piece of the pie?

That's impossible. Putting aside the fact that this is a top secret of the royal family, the experiment is still in its early stages, and it's too early to talk about results. How could someone who isn't a member of the Star Moon Demon Clan possibly know so much?

Although on the surface the various royal families do not interfere with each other, everyone understands that there are many eyes of other royal families within the royal families, but these eyes are basically the peripheral demons of the royal families, and it is almost impossible for them to be the real high-level ones.

Moreover, given the contractual constraints and the fact that the experiment itself had no results, there was virtually no possibility or value in leaking the information.

It seems we have no choice but to inform the clan and prepare for the worst.

The mighty Star Moon Royal Family is going to descend to the Dark Shadow Star?

Or should we use the inferior version of sealing power that is provided to commoner demons?

If you don't want to make an excuse, you don't have to.

There's no need to treat me like a fool.

If Gu Yun could hear her thoughts, she would definitely complain: "Time is zero, huh? You've already thought of a name for the child in such a short time, huh?"

The man smiled back, looking slightly embarrassed.

"Ahaha, so you're a friend from the Star Moon Royal Family. My apologies, my apologies, I was just a bit out of line. Please forgive my rudeness. My name is An Wuyai, from the Dark Prison Demon Clan. May I ask who you are?"

The man did not introduce the woman beside him, perhaps because she was not qualified.

Or perhaps it's because of his special status.

Gu Yunduan looked at the two people who had turned around. The man was not particularly strong, with faint dark lines flowing across his face. His eyes were filled with endless blackness, with only his pupils emitting a faint red light, but his skin was unusually pale.

The name differs somewhat from that of the Dark Prison Demon Clan.

In contrast, the woman's skin tone was slightly dull, but she had delicate features, willow-leaf eyebrows and cherry lips, black hair that reached her waist, and a curvaceous figure with beautiful curves. No wonder Werner regarded her as his ideal woman.

Gu Yun: She is indeed quite pretty, and her taste is not bad.

Werner: (ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻

The woman seemed to notice Gu Yun's gaze. After meeting his eyes for a few seconds, she skillfully tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear.

She knew she had no right to interrupt the conversation, and introducing herself was out of the question unless someone asked.

She might be a little assertive in front of weaker demons, but she's nothing in front of royalty.

She then lowered her head, her face slightly flushed.

She had a remarkably innocent and pure demeanor.

The intention is to evoke a protective instinct in others.

After all, although she knew that her identity was somewhat special and involved a seemingly confidential mission, she was not allowed to get too close to demons other than the Dark Prison Demons, otherwise her fate would be terrible if she were discovered.

But those are the Star Moon Demons!

They are royalty among royalty.

They are not even on the same level as the almost fallen royal family, the Dark Prison Demon Clan.

What if she takes a liking to me?

Do the Dark Prison Demons really dare to challenge the Star Moon Demons?

Wouldn't I be able to rise to the top in one step!

To forever break free from the fate of being controlled by others.

In the future, there may even be an opportunity to master domain power and become a lord.

Think a little excited.

Unfortunately, she didn't know this as she lowered her head.

At this moment, Gu Yun's eyes held no desire whatsoever, only endless indifference.

Because Gu Yun understood.

She was just an ordinary woman.

However, at that time, her status and behavior were in Werner's eyes.

It is unattainable and dazzling.

However, you will find that when you observe from a higher perspective than hers.

Actually, she doesn't glow.

It is just an ordinary star.

It was precisely Gu Yun's coldness that saved the other party's life.

Gu Yun: First loves usually don't end well, buddy. I've assessed it for you; it's not worth it, but that's normal. In a chaotic environment like the Demon Realm, everyone prioritizes survival. Staying alive is the only thing that matters. The probability of having a second mistress is probably lower than the probability of getting all gold in a ten-pull of gacha.

Werner: ......

Werner: I know.
