Divine Seal: Fire Kirin Fly Template, shattering the Demon God Pillar!

Chapter 77 Moonlit Thoughts: Li Hao is being watched!

After issuing the secret order, Yueye calmed down completely.

She leaned back against the soft couch, closed her eyes, and quietly waited for news to arrive.

It was as if the decisive and ruthless leader from just moments ago was merely a fleeting illusion.

This Moonlit Guild Master, who is half human, is unable to inherit the position of Demon God from her father, the Moon Demon God.

However, her extraordinary talent and exceptional intelligence, which she displayed from a young age, made her famous throughout the entire demon realm.

It is even hailed as the "Moon Phase" of the Moon Demon Palace, meaning a top strategist who assists the Moon Demon God.

Several sons of demon gods came to propose marriage, but she rejected them all.

Because she had established rules:

Among her peers, only men who surpass her in both strength and wisdom are qualified to become her partner.

This rule has deterred countless proud sons of the demon race.

But tonight, after a brief exchange with the human man named Li Hao...

For the first time in over twenty years, her heart stirred with a strange, inexplicable flutter.

It was the excitement of meeting a worthy opponent.

It was also mixed with some complex emotions that even she herself couldn't explain.

She only felt that Li Hao was a very different man.

Time passed slowly in the silent waiting.

Several hours passed, and the deep darkness of night gradually faded, with a hint of dawn appearing on the horizon.

Dawn is approaching.

"Get up, everyone, prepare to depart!"

Li Hao's deep voice woke up the Fire Cloud Demon Hunters who were still in a light sleep.

Taking advantage of the dim light, it was the perfect time for everyone to leave the caravan and quietly set off.

Lin Xin, Wang Yuanyuan, and the others moved swiftly, quickly packed their belongings, mounted their horses, and prepared to set off.

Just as they were about to urge their mounts on and merge into the last vestiges of darkness before dawn.

A slightly languid and melancholic voice came from the direction of the carriage not far away.

"Commander Li, isn't it a bit impolite to leave without saying goodbye?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yueye walking slowly towards them, supported by Leng Xiao.

Not long ago, Yueye received news from the rear.

"The demon army that attacked the Moonlit Caravan last night has suffered a devastating blow, with heavy casualties."

"Their tribe also suffered the corresponding punishment."

She changed into a simple and elegant white dress.

The gentle breeze of early morning ruffled her skirt and hair, making her already frail appearance even more pitiful.

A faint smile remained on Yueye's face as her gaze swept over the crowd and landed directly on Li Hao.

When Wang Yuanyuan saw the moonlit night, for some reason, an inexplicable anger rose in her heart.

In particular, her eyes, which seemed to speak volumes, were fixed on Li Hao, showing no sign of leaving.

She spurred her horse forward, half-blocking Li Hao behind her, and spoke without any politeness.

"Guild Master Moonlight, our Demon Hunter group has completed its mercenary mission. When we leave... seems to be none of your business, is it?"

Looking at Wang Yuanyuan's wary expression, like a little animal guarding its food, Yueye was not angry at all; instead, the smile in her eyes deepened.

She seemed to enjoy this confrontational feeling.

"This young lady is joking."

Moonlight's gaze remained fixed on Li Hao, her tone growing increasingly melancholic, like that of a lovelorn woman abandoned by her beloved.

"But I haven't had a chance to properly repay Commander Li for saving my life!" As soon as he said this, everyone in the Fire Cloud Demon Hunter Squad focused their attention on Li Hao.

Sima Xian's bald head gleamed, his eyes were full of surprise, he had an "I understand" expression on his face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

Chen Ying'er blinked her big eyes, curiously looking back and forth between Li Hao and Yue Ye.

Even Zhong Li, who is usually taciturn, couldn't help but glance at Li Hao a few more times.

Lin Xin, on the other hand, looked on with a mixture of admiration and gossip.

Those eyes seemed to say: "The leader is amazing! He managed to win over such a beautiful woman as President Moonlit Night in just one night?"
Li Hao felt his scalp tingle and his whole body tremble with discomfort under the stares of the crowd.

Not to mention, Wang Yuanyuan was staring at him intently from the side.

He coughed lightly, trying to break the awkward silence.

"President Tsukiyo is too kind."

He said righteously.

"Our narrow escape last night was the result of the combined efforts of our demon-hunting team and your esteemed merchant caravan."

"This is not my achievement alone. Therefore, I am unworthy of any reward from you."

"Really?"

Moonlight sighed with feigned disappointment; her delicate posture and melancholy gaze were enough to stir pity in any man.

"Alright then, since we can't keep Commander Li's men, we probably can't keep his heart either."

She turned slightly to the side and gestured to Dian Xuan behind her.

Dian Xuan immediately understood and led over several magnificent and robust black warhorses.

The warhorse was jet black, a level two magical beast, and a rare and excellent mount—the Ironmane Horse.

"Since Commander Li insists on leaving, I cannot force you to stay. I can only wish you a safe journey."

Yueye handed the reins to Li Hao, her fingers intentionally or unintentionally tracing lightly across the back of his hand.

She leaned closer and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear, her breath sweet and fragrant:
"However, Commander Li, don't forget our 'agreement'."

"I'm a woman who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and vengeance, and I always seek revenge... You know, I'm a little woman."

After saying that, she smiled at Li Hao.

That smile contained a mixture of allure, cunning, and a subtle, almost imperceptible threat.

Then, supported by Leng Xiao, she turned and gracefully left, leaving behind only a charming and alluring silhouette.

Li Hao gripped the reins, looked in the direction Yueye had gone, and gave a helpless, bitter smile.

He knew that he had been tricked again by this clever woman.

He turned his head, and sure enough, he was greeted by several pairs of eyes filled with even more gossip, scrutiny, and... jealousy.

Chen Ying'er, in particular, pouted her little mouth so high that her eyebrows were almost furrowed together.

Wang Yuanyuan, on the other hand, gritted her teeth in anger.

Her knuckles were white from gripping the giant shield so tightly, and her eyes seemed to say: You better give me a reasonable explanation!

Li Hao was in a real bind.

"Cough cough!"

He cleared his throat, nimbly mounted his iron-maned horse, and gave the order in a deep voice.

"What are you all looking at! Let's get going! I'll explain everything to you on the way!"

Having said that, he spurred his horse and charged ahead.

No one dared to delay, and they quickly urged their mounts to follow.

The group of seven people on seven horses, taking advantage of the darkest light before dawn, quickly left the caravan camp and sped deeper into the demon territory.
