Chapter 195: Emperor Among Demons

"Let's go back inside." Jiang Xun then pulled Gufang Ninglin by the wrist into the room and closed the door.

"Thank you, Tian Zeyan." After returning to the room, Gufang Ninglin looked at Jiang Xun and said.

"You, really." Jiang Xun reached out a finger and poked Gufang Ninglin on the head: "Didn't I tell you, if anyone bullies you again, just tell me. Why didn't you say anything?"

"I didn't want to cause you trouble..." Gufang Ninglin said.

"You aren't trouble, you know?" Jiang Xun looked at Gufang Ninglin and said.

"I..." Upon hearing this, Gufang Ninglin's eyes instantly turned red. She was definitely not someone who cried easily, but the things Jiang Xun had done and said for her during this time truly moved her.

Ever since leaving the cave, Jiang Xun had not used his charm on Gufang Ninglin again, yet even so, Gufang Ninglin was showing her true self to Jiang Xun.

"I know, I will tell you in the future." Gufang Ninglin calmed herself, wiped away the unshed tears, and gave Jiang Xun a big smile.

"Let's go, I'll take you to buy some clothes." Jiang Xun nodded and then said.

"Buy clothes?"

"You have to have clothes to change into, right?" Jiang Xun said.

"These, I can just wash them at night and dry them with Spirit Power," Gufang Ninglin said, looking at her own clothes.

"Hurry up. I already said you are my person; wouldn't you be embarrassing me by wearing like this?" Seeing this, Jiang Xun had no choice but to use a sterner tone.

"... Oh." Gufang Ninglin was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded and obediently followed Jiang Xun to the market to buy clothes.

When they arrived at the market, the people here were all discussing what had just happened at Tian Wai Lou. Seeing Jiang Xun appear with Gufang Ninglin, they all stopped talking.

Jiang Xun's arrogance was effective; no one dared to say a single word against Gufang Ninglin again.

Jiang Xun couldn't help but sigh; so this was the pressure brought by a top-tier dynasty. Even if Jiang Xun were only at the Nascent Soul stage, or even just Golden Core, he supposed it would have the same effect.

He took Gufang Ninglin into a clothing store and picked out many outfits for her. It's true what they say about clothes making the person; after changing into new clothes, Gufang Ninglin's entire aura was different.

"Now you look like a Princess of a dynasty."

Jiang Xun sat on a chair with his legs crossed, looking at Gufang Ninglin in her red dress and smiling.

Jiang Xun had always preferred red dresses, so Gu Qing and Liu Ruoyun usually dressed primarily in red, just to please Jiang Xun.

And the clothes here were not as revealing as those in the Lingerie-Sect; they were made of fine silk fabrics with gorgeous accessories. With just a little tidying up, the whole person looked very spirited.

"It's really beautiful." Gufang Ninglin smiled as she looked at herself in the mirror, becoming somewhat dazed. She had never worn such beautiful clothes before.

Living on Tianwai Island, watching those gorgeously dressed women every day, it would be impossible not to have fantasized about wearing such clothes herself.

"Take her measurements, make a few more good sets, and send them to Tian Wai Lou," Jiang Xun said to the shopkeeper.

"Alright! You have a great eye, young master!" The shopkeeper was all smiles upon hearing this and immediately went to take Gufang Ninglin's measurements.

"I..."

"Hmm?" Gufang Ninglin was just about to speak when Jiang Xun glared at her.

Gufang Ninglin pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.

After letting the shopkeeper take her measurements, putting on the new clothes, and placing several sets of clothes and accessories into his Storage Ring, Jiang Xun and Gufang Ninglin left the clothing store.

"Is there anything missing in your room?" Jiang Xun asked, looking at Gufang Ninglin.

"Nothing is missing." Gufang Ninglin shook her head: "Everything is there. Oh right! There is a Small Teleportation Array in the room. Yesterday, a batch of pills for cultivation and herbs for alchemy appeared on the array. Did someone send them to the wrong place?"

"Every seven days, there is a batch of cultivation supplies in the room. That is for you; just use them," Jiang Xun smiled.

"So that's how it is. No wonder the room fee is so high." Gufang Ninglin nodded. No wonder their cultivation speed was so much faster than hers...

"You don't have things for bathing yet, come with me to buy some," Jiang Xun said as he walked forward.

Gufang Ninglin grabbed Jiang Xun: "Oh, I'm not that poor, I can still afford these little things."

"Then, what about rouge and the like?"

"I've never used those." Gufang Ninglin shook her head. Indeed, with her natural Western Regions appearance, she really didn't need those things.

"If you need anything, just tell me. Don't be polite with me," Jiang Xun nodded and said.

"Okay, I definitely won't be polite with you," Gufang Ninglin grinned and said.

"It's getting late, you should go back," Jiang Xun nodded and said.

"Are you going back too?" Gufang Ninglin looked up at the moon and said.

"Yes."

"Okay." Gufang Ninglin nodded, then waved goodbye and left, feeling reluctant to part.

Should I ask him to come to my room and sit for a while?... But that wouldn't be very good. It's late at night; would he think I'm a loose woman?

Gufang Ninglin thought to herself as she walked.

"You finally did something decent. If you had been this kind of person from the start, I wouldn't have disliked you," Si Yuyan said, looking at Gufang Ninglin's departing back.

"What do you mean by that, 'did something decent'?" Jiang Xun was speechless upon hearing this.

"The little girl is quite pitiful and a good person too. Although you helped her, I'm afraid you've also added a debt of love," Si Yuyan smiled.

"Would I be afraid of something like that?" Jiang Xun said disdainfully.

"Then what about Tu Nan?"

"... If you don't know how to talk, then shut your mouth." Si Yuyan hit a sore spot, and Jiang Xun was stunned for a moment.

"I think there is definitely a problem with the Gufang Dynasty. Things that one is sworn to keep secret seem to be no ordinary matters," Si Yuyan changed the subject and said.

"After things here are settled, I'll go ask Zhongli Lingyu; perhaps she will know." Jiang Xun nodded: "I also don't know how her investigation into Jun Tianling is going."

"Right, I almost forgot because you didn't mention it. I remembered some things related to Zhongli Lingyu. She has a strange scent on her, you remember, right?"

"I remember."

"That is not the scent of a human; it is the scent of the Demon Race."

"Demon Race?" Jiang Xun was startled upon hearing this.

"The Demon Race belongs to the dynasty among Demonic Beasts. They can transform into human form, are divided into several tribes, and can command all Demonic Beasts of the same kind. The Ancient Demon Race can command all tribes. Do you understand what I mean?"

"You mean the Dog tribe leader can transform into human form and command all dogs, and the Cat tribe is the same? Each species is a dynasty, and then an Ancient Demon Beast appears, like a dragon or something, and it can command the Dog tribe and the Cat tribe?" Jiang Xun gave an analogy.

"Oh, you've become smart!"
