Let me explain, it's not what you think.

"I heard that thing of yours is really amazing!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's face flushed red in front of so many people.

He didn't respond because he didn't know how to respond.

"Why aren't you saying anything? I've done my research; you're not a shy person."

Zi Ji's jade-like hand landed on Lu Chen's chest.

Lu Chen took a deep breath, stepped back, and met Zi Ji's eyes.

"Senior is too kind. I am not the sorcerer of legend. If you don't believe me, you can verify it now."

"Oh! Verification? How do I verify it?"

As if intrigued, Zi Ji licked her alluring red lips, leaving a moist sheen from left to right.

Lu Chen's face turned completely red.

He realized that his words had been interpreted in a completely different way by Zi Ji.

"I……"

Zi Ji tilted her head and looked at his blushing face, feeling that Lu Chen had become somewhat adorable.

She took another step forward, almost touching Lu Chen's chest, then lowered her voice so low that only the two of them could hear: "Tell me, how do you want to verify?"

Brigitte coughed softly.

"Purple Princess, we're here to verify the authenticity of the demon, not to play around."

Upon hearing this, Zi Ji took a half step back.

Brigitte stood a few steps away, her expression unchanged, but her ears were flushed with a very faint red.

This wicked woman is always causing trouble wherever she goes. I really don't know how the Black Dragon King chose her!

If it weren't for the fact that this human named Lu Chen was indeed the most likely to be a demon, she wouldn't have made this trip herself!

Seeing this, Lu Chen took a deep breath, glanced at Zi Ji, then at Bi Ji, before speaking.

"Senior, may we discuss the verification process inside?"

Murasaki raised an eyebrow. "Can't we talk here?"

"Huh? Senior, you mean, you want me to do it in public...???"

Many powerful demons also glanced at Zi Ji with surprise.

Murasaki: "???"

"Alright, Murasaki, let's go inside and test it!"

Seeing Zi Ji's awkwardness, Bi Ji quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"it is good."

Afterwards, Zi Yao and Lu Chen led Bi Ji and Mei Ji into the palace.

Zi Ji walked slowly, her bare feet pattering on the amethyst floor, the sound echoing through the corridor, always tempting people to take a look.

Brigitte walked beside her with a composed gait, her green dress flowing gracefully.

The palace doors closed behind her, and Ziyao raised her hand to set up a soundproof barrier.

Outside the palace, a gray wolf demon watched the palace doors slowly close and twitched its lips.

"Is it even necessary to set up a barrier?"

"That's right. With Fairy Biji personally taking action, even if that kid is a demon, he won't be able to cause any trouble!" A black bear demon next to him nodded, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest.

The other powerful demons also dispersed, some sitting, some standing, and some leaning against the pillars of the corridor, and no one looked towards the palace gate again.

The Fairy of Brigitte's reputation is more reliable than their own eyes!

After all, she is someone who can forgive and even lend a helping hand to those who have offended her!

……

Inside the hall, Zi Ji sat down directly in the main seat.

She wasn't sitting still; she leaned back in her chair, one leg draped over the armrest, and her scale-clad skirt slipped down, revealing a section of her fair and slender calf.

Lu Chen quickly lowered his head.

For some reason, he felt his willpower was too weak today, and he kept being attracted to Murasaki.

Brigitte sat down next to Murasaki, sitting upright with her hands folded on her knees.

She glanced at Zi Ji's leg, her lips moved slightly, but she ultimately said nothing and shifted her gaze to Lu Chen.

"Young Master Lu, please."

How should I cooperate with your inspection?

"Young Master Lu, please take it yourself. We will wait here."

"no problem!"

As Lu Chen spoke, he walked into the side hall.

"Wait!" Murasaki said.

"Sister, why do we need him to go to the side hall? What if he's prepared and tries to fool us? We're investigating a sorcerer; we can't be careless!"

Lu Chen: "..."

"What does Senior Murasaki want?"

"What do you mean, 'how'? Of course, it's me keeping an eye on you!" Murasaki blurted out.

"Huh??" Lu Chen was dumbfounded.

But the next moment, Brigitte stood up, blushing, and covered Murasaki's mouth.

"Young Master Lu, there's no need to pay her any attention. She's not very bright; she just speaks her mind!"

"Eh."

After Lu Chen finished speaking, he quickly walked into the side hall, where Zi Yao and Jiang Yu were chatting with the two women.

However, the four women waited for a long time, but there was still no sign of Lu Chen, which made Zi Ji somewhat anxious.

"What's wrong with him? So much time has passed and he's still not better. Is he just stalling us, or... is he in the side hall to switch the body?"

Upon hearing this, Brigitte frowned as well.

Lu Chen has indeed been inside for a long time. She had never heard of such a thing taking so long. Maybe he really has other ideas!

"Ziyao, go and urge him!"

"Okay, Sister Biji!" Ziyao obediently went to the side hall.

"No, you can't go!" Zi Ji jumped out to stop her.

"Everyone knows you're completely devoted to Lu Chen. You give him whatever he wants unconditionally. Now that we're investigating him, do you think we'll let you and Jiang Yu go?"

"But if the two of us can't go, then who can?" Jiang Yu was also somewhat speechless.

Strictly speaking, this matter is related to her.

After all, seven days is no joke, and when Biji and the others arrived, Lu Chen had just finished making arrangements and plans; now, it's certain...

"Who's going? It's definitely me! I knew Lu Chen was a troublemaker. Watch how I teach him a lesson when I get in!" Zi Ji said, then got up and walked towards the side hall.

"Wait! What nonsense are you spouting! Is this a place you can go?"

Brigitte finally couldn't hold back anymore.

She hadn't expected Zi Ji to be so innocent, knowing nothing at all, not even about the proper boundaries between men and women!

"Sister Brigitte, what do you mean by this? I was just keeping an eye on him!"

"you……"

"Fine, fine, none of you need to go. I'll go and keep an eye on him, is that alright?"

"Ah? Sister Brigitte, this...this...this isn't appropriate, is it?"

Zi Yao was dumbfounded. Is this even possible?

"Right now, it seems there's no better candidate than me. It's all because of your Lu Chen; he's not cooperating."

As she spoke, Biji reluctantly got up and walked towards the side hall.

He still firmly believed that Lu Chen was deliberately not coming out, or that he was actually switching the items, which she would not allow.

What she didn't know was that when she turned her back to Zi Ji, the latter's charming face revealed a smug smile.

'This Brigitte is so easily fooled. I only used a little trick and I was able to get leverage over her. As for the Black Dragon King…'
