Chapter 175: Suffering from Unrequited Love

The Demon Saint pointed at the Danyalu and said to Nudi, "This is a Danyalu I prepared specifically for you; you can use it to refine medicinal pills and improve your own cultivation."

Nudi looked at this massive Danyalu and nodded slightly.

She knew that the Demon Saint was genuinely and sincerely trying to help her.

"Many thanks, Demon Saint!" This time, Nudi finally performed a salute to the Demon Saint, an unprecedented gesture, to express her gratitude.

"No need for formalities," the Demon Saint said with a smile, "I hope you can become a true powerhouse soon!"

Subsequently, the Demon Saint began to instruct Nudi on how to use the Danyalu and how to refine medicinal pills.

Nudi listened earnestly to the Demon Saint's explanation and kept every step firmly in her heart.

Zhang Yi and the Pterosaur also stood to the side, watching the Demon Saint's operations with curiosity.

Although they could not understand what the Demon Saint was saying, they also felt it was very magical.

Under the Demon Saint's guidance, Nudi quickly mastered the basic techniques of alchemy.

She began to try refining some simple medicinal pills and achieved success very quickly.

The Demon Saint looked at the medicinal pills Nudi had refined.

Only the Demon Saint had a Danyalu here; Zhang Yi and the others had never seen such a top-tier magical treasure back at the Demon Saint Mansion.

Now, the Demon Saint had actually gifted them the Danyalu, which was enough to show that this guy was still quite infatuated.

Even though Nudi had no interest in him, he still gave her such a grand gift.

Zhang Yi and the Pterosaur were both unable to carry any more; there were too many items, and Zhang Yi felt a bit embarrassed. He wanted to persuade Nudi to stop there and not take any more of the man's things, as it was too much.

However, Nudi was not polite at all, completely treating the Demon Saint's place as her own home.

Looking at the pile of treasures that remained, she even remarked, "Is this all? Are there any more treasures?"

Upon hearing this, the Demon Saint was naturally very enthusiastic to continue taking things to give to her, leaving Zhang Yi speechless.

"Look at these things..." Zhang Yi could not help but say in a low voice.

Nudi waved her hand impatiently: "Don't worry so much, just take them."

The Demon Saint heard their conversation and laughed heartily: "Little Brother Zhang Yi, you don't need to be polite either. These treasures are just small trinkets to me; I have even more here."

As he spoke, he took another pile of heavenly materials and earthly treasures from his storage space and handed them to Nudi.

Zhang Yi could not help but twitch his mouth, thinking to himself that this Demon Saint was truly wealthy and imposing.

The Pterosaur on the side was also dumbfounded, only able to flap its wings with effort, struggling to maintain balance so as not to let the treasures fall.

The key was that the dignified Demon Saint kept calling him "Little Brother."

It made Zhang Yi feel a bit uncomfortable.

Even if he was Nudi's older brother, let's just say, as the Demon Saint, did you really need to be this polite?

"Lord Demon Saint, your generosity is truly something we admire."

Zhang Yi could only respond this way in the end; although his words were respectful, he was sighing in his heart.

This Nudi was really... but he had no other choice.

Nudi, on the other hand, was beaming as she collected these treasures. Seeing the Demon Saint's willing-to-contribute appearance, she became even less polite, looking here and touching there, not letting go of any corner.

The Demon Saint looked at Nudi's happy appearance and felt very satisfied.

He secretly made up his mind to help Nudi more in the future.

It could also be considered a disguised form of pursuit.

Zhang Yi and the Pterosaur simply followed along consciously; although it was strenuous, they dared not slack off in the slightest.

The two and the dragon huffed and puffed as they tucked the pile of treasures into their possession, eventually finding it difficult to walk.

"Younger Sister, are these things enough?"

Zhang Yi could only ask with a bitter smile in the end; he really could not stand the weight of the treasures one by one.

Nudi patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder: "Alright, let's go. Demon Saint, we will come again next time."

Zhang Yi let out a long sigh of relief; it was finally over.

And the Demon Saint watched Nudi and her party leave with satisfaction, feeling warm inside as well.

Nudi, Zhang Yi, and the Pterosaur returned to their residence. Zhang Yi looked left and right, and seeing Nudi sitting comfortably in front of a pile of treasures, he finally could not help but speak: "Younger Sister, you really are... We still owe the Demon Saint so many favors; by taking treasures so wildly, aren't you worried he might have some thoughts?"

Nudi smiled indifferently: "What is there to fear? He has so many treasures, it would be a waste not to take them. Besides, I have my own sense of propriety. He has feelings for me, and I can also use him to strengthen my power, can't I?"

Zhang Yi could only be left speechless; this was Nudi's style. He could only nod silently, hoping in his heart that her decision was correct.

The next day.

The Demon Saint woke up with two large dark circles under his eyes.

It gave the serving demoness a fright.

"Your Majesty, what happened to your eyes? Did you not sleep well last night?"

The Demon Saint gave a bitter smile, rubbed his sore eyes, and said weakly: "Sigh, I've caught a case of unrequited love."

The demoness looked blank, not understanding what "unrequited love" was.

The Demon Saint was too lazy to explain, waved his hand, and said: "Go, help me see if those distinguished guests have left."

The demoness understood and immediately went to inquire about the news.

Before long, she hurried back and reported: "Your Majesty, they are still here! It seems they are strolling around the city."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Saint immediately perked up, and his dark circles seemed to fade a little.

"Great! Quickly, pass down the order to arrange a luncheon at the Yao Di Fu; this Emperor will treat the distinguished guests with great hospitality!"

For the Demon Saint, being able to spend a little more time with Nudi, even if it was just watching from afar, was a kind of happiness.

He was full of anticipation for the arrival of the luncheon, fantasizing about the scene of sharing delicacies and drinking wine with Nudi.

The demoness took the order and left, while the Demon Saint began to dress up meticulously.

He selected the most magnificent robe, carefully combed his hair, and even specially sprayed some fragrant dew found on an overseas immortal island.

After everything was prepared, the Yao Emperor headed to the banquet hall in high spirits, waiting for the arrival of Nudi.

At the same time.

Nudi, Zhang Yi, and the Pterosaur were strolling through the city, admiring the local customs and practices of Yao Jie.

"Little sister, the Yao Emperor is so attentive to you; are you truly not moved at all?" Zhang Yi could not help but ask.

Nudi smiled slightly and shook her head: "Moved? He only has utility value to me; to me, he is nothing more than a chess piece that can be utilized."

Hearing this, Zhang Yi sighed inwardly, thinking that Nudi was indeed cold and heartless.

He feared that the Yao Emperor's sincere heart would be misplaced.

Just then, a Yao soldier hurried over, bowed to Nudi and her group, and said: "My Emperor has prepared a luncheon and specifically sent me to invite the three of you to attend."

Nudi gladly accepted the invitation; she knew this was a good opportunity to continue obtaining benefits from the Yao Emperor.

Thus, the group followed the Yao soldier to the Yao Di Fu.

Inside the banquet hall, it was already filled with delicacies from the mountains and seas, and fine wines and jade nectars.

The Yao Emperor had already been waiting for a long time; seeing Nudi arrive, he immediately stood up to welcome her, his face full of smiles.
