You expect me to serve your mistress? The mistress is driving this scumbag and his entire family cra

Chapter 84 You really know how to brag.
Gu Xizhi stood to the side, her lips twitching. She felt more and more that her sister had been relatively lenient with her words in the past.

My impression of her is still that of a soft, cuddly little girl, like a sweet glutinous rice ball.

The most memorable time was when she rode on Lu Xingzhan's back in the palace and beat him until he cried out in pain – a truly heroic feat.

That time she became famous overnight; everyone knew that the young princess of the Duke's mansion was a fiery little pepper.

Xie Fubai's neck turned red from holding his breath.

Lady Liang scolded, "You have such a sharp tongue! You never let things go when you're right. Even Young Master Xie came all the way here to apologize to you. Don't be so petty."

Liang Jiang secretly curled her lip. Why make such a big fuss and be so attentive when it's just an apology? It's obvious they don't come unless they need something.

Marquis Huaiyuan coughed lightly and said, "Princess Heya's reprimand is absolutely correct. My son should indeed take this as a warning and see if he dares to act so recklessly next time. Now his life is in danger."

Lady Liang comforted him, "It's just a minor injury, Your Excellency is overthinking it."

Marquis Huaiyuan then sighed and said, "Madam Liang, to be honest, we have come here not to seek medical treatment, but to ask for a favor. Now, I'm afraid only you can save my son's life."

Liang Jiang had a look of "I knew it" on her face.

Lady Liang asked in surprise, "My lord, please speak frankly."

Marquis Huaiyuan looked at Gu Xizhi, who then briefly explained the whole story.

"It would be no easy task to snatch this Golden Longevity Star back from the Demon Lord, especially since my brother still has a time limit."

We have no other choice but to seek help from Lady Liang. We hope that the Demon Lord will consider our camaraderie as fellow disciples and return this item. We would be extremely grateful.

After listening to Gu Xizhi's words, Madam Liang remained silent for a moment before slowly opening her lips: "It's not that I'm unwilling to help, but that I'm powerless to do so. Although this Demon Lord is from the same sect as me, according to seniority, he should call me Senior Sister."

But in reality, neither the Duke nor I were at Yuhua Mountain when he entered the sect; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say we had never met before. He probably won't grant us that favor.”

Gu Xizhi hadn't considered this point. After listening to Madam Liang's words, she silently pondered the timing of the Demon Lord's debut and apprenticeship, since Madam Liang happened to be away from Yuhua Mountain.

Marquis Huaiyuan's heart sank immediately: "In that case, wouldn't the birthday gifts be impossible to recover? My son is doomed to suffer the consequences."

Xie Fubai also looked frustrated: "There's really no other way. I'm going to die either way, so I can only risk my life to confront the Demon Lord and hope there's still a glimmer of hope."

Madam Liang was also very troubled: "It's a real pity that I couldn't help you."

Gu Xi knew: "It was my presumption. We will think of another way. We apologize for the inconvenience."

He stood up and said goodbye.

Lady Liang saw them off from behind. Liang Jiang couldn't contain her curiosity and asked in a low voice, "Is this Demon Lord also from Yuhua Mountain? How come I've never heard of him before?"

Madam Liang sighed softly: "You must never mention him in front of your two grandmasters. He is your grandmaster's last disciple."

"You mean that seemingly refined and scholarly junior uncle? He's actually the infamous Demon Lord? I never knew he was so skilled in martial arts."

Xie Fubai, with one hand on his waist, limped at the back. Upon hearing Liang Jiang's words, he immediately turned around and asked, "Have you seen the Demon Lord?"

Gu Xizhi and Huaiyuan Hou, who were ahead, also stopped in their tracks. Liang Jiang nodded: "Of course, he brings me good things every year from Yuhua Mountain."

Xie Fubai chuckled: "You really know how to brag."

Liang Jiang's face immediately fell: "Believe it or not, who asked you to believe it?"

Xie Fubai scoffed, "You must have mistaken me for someone else. Who is this Demon Lord? Would he travel all the way to Yuhua Mountain to deliver a gift to a little girl like you? Besides, I've heard that this Demon Lord has a fierce and ruthless face. How could he possibly be a weak scholar?"

Liang Jiang snorted lightly, too lazy to explain.

Gu Xizhi's heart stirred: "When the Demon Lord was learning his skills at Yuhua Mountain, you seemed to be quite young, so you don't remember some things very clearly."

“He said he knew me and called out my name the moment he saw me, but I really couldn’t remember. When I asked my senior brothers and sisters, none of them would tell me.”

Lady Liang asked, "What gift did he give you?"

"It was all sorts of delicious food and fun things. Sometimes it was things like longevity pills or fire cloud pills, and sometimes it was some ugly weapons. They even gave me a round little cat, which grew bigger and bigger and eventually became a majestic tiger."

No one paid attention to her large tiger; instead, they all noticed the Fire Cloud Pill and Longevity Pill she mentioned.

A truly rare find!
You should know that the Demon Lord's family was wiped out by their enemies back then because they possessed a treasure that was considered a crime, and others coveted the method for refining the Fire Cloud Pill.

Madam Liang was even more astonished: "No wonder your father said your kung fu had improved by leaps and bounds in those two years, which seemed a bit strange. You actually took the Fire Cloud Pill? And the Longevity Pill!"

People have started to believe Liang Jiang's boastful claims.

Besides the Demon Lord Baili Shouyue, who else could obtain the superior medicine pills that martial arts practitioners dream of?
Even if the Sage of Literature is a highly skilled physician, the rare medicinal materials needed for the Longevity Pill and the Fire Cloud Pill are extremely rare and priceless.

Liang Jiang, however, downplayed it somewhat: "That medicine tasted so bad that it made me feel like I was on fire after taking it. I rolled around in the snow for half a month straight, and then I forgot to settle the score with it."

Madam Liang shook her head: "You really don't know how lucky you are. Do you know that because you were born prematurely, you were born with congenital deficiencies and were not suited for martial arts? If it weren't for the Longevity Pill that helped you rebuild your bones and muscles and the Fire Cloud Pill that helped you increase your internal strength, how could you have achieved what you have today?"

Moreover, the golden-threaded crimson serpent used to refine this Fire Cloud Pill can only be found in places of scorching earth fire. To find this serpent, one must endure the near-impossible ordeal of being burned alive, and it is a matter of chance.

Gu Xizhi also felt suspicious: "Why would the Demon Lord give you such a precious item?"

Liang Jiang glanced at Lady Liang, seemingly wary: "I was just bragging."

Marquis Huaiyuan secretly pinched Xie Fubai. Forgetting that Xie Fubai had an injury on his buttocks, the pain made Xie Fubai jump up and let out a scream.

“How could Princess Heya be bragging? I was just a naive young girl who didn’t recognize a great person.”

Lady Liang also advised, "If you really have any connection with him, then help Prince Xie. Human life is at stake; it's not a game."

Liang Jiang shrugged: "But I'm really bragging. He really didn't give it to me as a gift. It was for my master. My master refused to accept it, and he wouldn't allow him to go to Yuhua Mountain. He also forbade my senior brothers and uncles to pay any attention to him, so it all ended up benefiting me."

Gu Xizhi glanced at Marquis Huaiyuan with disappointment.

Marquis Huaiyuan forced a smile: "It's just a pity that Yuhua Mountain is thousands of miles away from the capital, and there's not enough time to make a round trip."
