Above all spirits

Chapter 426 Lilia (Part 2)

Lilia gently moved her chair, tilting her body slightly so that she was facing Gu Yun directly, a smile that could not be ignored appearing between her brows and eyes.

Then, she gracefully pushed the pale purple crystal ball between the two of them, a hint of anticipation shining in her eyes.

"So, Your Excellency, the esteemed Star-Moon Demon Clan, what is your request?"

"Are there any other options besides divination?"

Gu Yun was slightly puzzled; the scope of the request was quite broad.

Because of the name "Eye of Calamity," Gu Yun guessed that it might be because of his identity as a member of the Star Moon Demon Clan that he entered the hidden options, where he could actually buy information.

Lilia paused slightly; the two seemed to be on different wavelengths.

Lilia thought that Gu Yun had other needs because of his words. She blinked, a hint of surprise in her eyes. After looking Gu Yun over, she smiled playfully and said with a hint of amusement.

"If you have any other needs..."

As she spoke, she deliberately swayed her chest slightly, her gaze sweeping provocatively over Gu Yun.

"It's not that it can't be done, is it?"

Her voice held a seductive allure that was both alluring and elusive.

"After all, you look...not bad-looking?"

(P.S.: Gu Yun is now using his own face to avoid being recognized by acquaintances who have been assimilated by the demons.)

amount.

Seemingly not expecting Lilia's reaction, Gu Yun's lips twitched.

Realizing there was a misunderstanding in their conversation, he quickly explained.

"No, that's not what I meant."

"I thought you could provide intelligence here."

"After all, it bears the sign of the Eye of Calamity."

Lilia's expression suddenly stiffened, and her brows furrowed slightly, as if she were pondering something.

But when Lilia realized that there was no burning desire in Gu Yun's eyes, her face couldn't help but turn slightly red.

Originally, I thought that Gu Yun in front of me was just a vulgar man full of desires. However, given the background of the Star Moon Demon Clan and Gu Yun's good looks, I was willing to be intimate with him if I paid the right price.

But now it seems like I was just being delusional?

Is that so...

Lilia lowered her head quietly, pulled down the brim of her hat, trying to hide her embarrassment. She couldn't help but curse herself inwardly for being so wanton. After all, the male demons who came to the store in the past had all looked at her strangely, which led her to have the same idea.

At the same time, she stole a glance at Gu Yun, her eyes filled with a hint of annoyance, because Gu Yun's slightly apologetic expression made her question her own looks for the first time.

Women, regardless of race, are always so contradictory.

Lilia coughed lightly, immediately regaining her composure. She wasn't some delicate woman, and the embarrassment was only momentary.

"Ah, so that's it."

"I'm just being protected by the Eye of Calamity, paying some protection money."

She managed a weak smile.

"I thought you already knew."

then.

Her tone gradually became more relaxed as she explained.

"There are three types of signs for the Eye of Calamity. The black and red eyes represent lucky merchants who have been protected by the Eye of Calamity. They control some special industries, but usually do not engage in intelligence business. The pure black eyes are those of merchants who specialize in intelligence business. As for the last one, the all-red eyes are usually branches of the Eye of Calamity, which accept all kinds of requests, as long as you have enough Soul Crystals."

"It's normal for demons of ordinary races not to know, but the Star-Moon Demon race actually does..."

Gu Yun had no romantic feelings for Lilia and was not affected by the awkwardness. He keenly sensed Lilia's current logical thinking and immediately interrupted her.

"Oh, there is such knowledge dissemination within the tribe."

"But I didn't listen carefully."

"Alas, I was young and ignorant. I only knew how to have fun back then. Now that I've been forced out to learn from my mistakes, I regret it too late."

"I've bumped my head in many places along the way. If it weren't for my identity as a member of the Star Moon Demon Clan, I might have died somewhere long ago."

"To be honest, what I really want to ask is how to go further on the path to becoming a Demon General and find an opportunity for a breakthrough. If I don't make progress, I'm afraid I'll never be able to go back."

Gu Yun poured out his grievances with feigned seriousness, then subtly changed the subject.

"To be honest, I'm really confused. I didn't listen carefully to the explanations from the clan elders back then, and now I don't even really understand what power is."

After saying all that, this is Gu Yun's real purpose.

Lilia understood somewhat.

what.

Such demons do exist.

Because of his powerful family background, he was idle and dissolute in his youth. When he reached a certain age, he was reprimanded and sent out to gain experience, but he died far from home.

only...

Are there such demons among the Star Moon Demon Clan...?

Lilia's gaze softened as she looked at Gu Yun. Since Gu Yun could say that, it meant he wasn't beyond redemption. He knew he had deeply realized his shortcomings and had an attitude of repentance.

No wonder...

Lilia nodded slightly, her tone suddenly becoming serious, as if trying to recall some of the image she had just lost.

"So this is ah."

"As for my understanding of power, if you don't mind, I can talk to you about it, although I'm only at the level of a newly ascended Demon General."

Gu Yun nodded, his tone sincere.

"Thank you."

Then, he took out ten mid-grade soul crystals that shimmered with a blue-white luster from his ancient black spatial ring and pushed them in front of Lilia.

"I won't let you speak for nothing."

"This is just a small token of my appreciation, as a thank you for your answer and to cover the cost of the upcoming divination."

Lilia's eyes lit up instantly, and the image of a caring older sister she had just established immediately collapsed, revealing her hidden greedy nature.

Lilia immediately swept the ten mid-grade crystals into her arms, piling them on her chest, completely unconcerned that one of the soul crystals had fallen directly into her "abyss".

His behavior clearly indicated to Gu Yun: Now that you've made your move, you can't take it back.

Then Lilia picked up one of the mid-grade soul crystals and squinted in the light from outside the door.

"I go!"

"So pure?!"

"As expected of royalty, I actually had doubts about your identity before."

"Because... um..."

Since it's all just speculation, Lilia decided not to embarrass herself by offering her own opinion.

After all, a mid-grade soul crystal of this quality is not something an ordinary demon can produce.

"I deserve to die!"

"One mid-grade soul crystal of this purity is definitely worth more than ten low-grade soul crystals to exchange for."

"Hey hey hey."

This wave of people can practically lie low for half a year.

Thinking this, Lilia couldn't help but drool from the corner of her mouth.

Gu Yun's expression, however, was somewhat unnatural.

Lilia's words reminded him of the mid-grade soul crystal he had given away earlier...
