Chapter Two Hundred Ninety-Four: So You’re in On It Too

Tang Yubbing was lost in thought for quite a while.

This exchange made her feel both happy and a bit confused.

“Can I really do that?”

“I think the house is quite big. Haven’t you lived here long enough?”

Young Master Sang scratched his head, “We can certainly afford one more.”

“That’s not the issue!”

Tang Yubbing crossed her arms, looking a bit downcast. “Is it… really that shameless of me?”

“I only promised Little Ying I’d borrow you for a while. But if we go through with it… will she be upset?”

Young Master Sang contemplated for a moment.

“Well… while I can’t be sure…”

“But I bet Little Ying has already prepared your room, just waiting for you to move in.”

“Why not go back and check?” Young Master Sang chuckled.

Tang Yubbing stared at him, dazed.

After a long pause, she finally smiled faintly and looked down.

“Are you really not put off by the fact that your sister was jilted, a notorious demoness?”

“Hey, I’m still the dreaded Warden Demon Lord, the kind that makes people shiver. Who’s better off?”

Young Master Sang waved his hand. “No need to live so rigidly. We’re from the Demon Cult.”

“Who dares to insult us? Aren’t they afraid we’ll go raid their ancestor’s grave for offerings?”

Tang Yubbing suddenly burst into laughter, clearly amused by the absurdity of the joke from another world.

“If that’s the case…”

Suddenly, Young Master Sang heard a splash behind him.

The sound of water getting closer made him gulp subtly.

“…Young Master Sang, don’t you want to see your sister?” Tang Yubbing’s voice suddenly became sultry.

Young Master Sang hesitated for a moment before gradually turning around.

He had to admit, Tang Yubbing perfectly embodied the term “alluring.”

She looked like a beautiful demoness straight out of “Journey to the West,” her curves gracefully presenting the most flattering angles.

As Young Master Sang became entranced, unable to tear his gaze away, Tang Yubbing couldn’t help but cover her mouth, chuckling softly.

“Do I look good, brother?”

“Absolutely unique under heaven and earth.” Young Master Sang nosebleed, slowly giving a thumbs up.

“Your mouth is full of flowery nonsense every day.”

“However…” she walked up to Young Master Sang and sat directly in his lap, resting her head on his shoulder.

“…Sister loves to hear it.”

The moment Young Master Sang wrapped his arm around her, Tang Yubbing melted into him, as if she had become a soft puddle.

“You’re right.”

“The Demon Lord should be with a demoness.” Tang Yubbing blinked her beautiful eyes, gazing at Young Master Sang with sweetness.

“Kiss me.”

Sure, she said that.

But it was her who leaned in first.

Like they were entwined, she sought Young Master Sang without reservation.

Young Master Sang felt like the very temperature of the water rose.

They kissed for a long time, until Tang Yubbing’s face turned rosy and she licked her lips, clearly wanting more.

That kind of flirtation would make any man’s heart race.

“…Looks like Young Master Sang is getting excited too.”

Tang Yubbing playfully pinched his chin but only pressed her finger against his lips.

“But not now.”

“We must wait for Little Ying’s approval.”

Young Master Sang nodded.

He hadn’t realized how much Tang Yubbing cared about this.

No wonder she had looked at him with a trace of guilt before.

She was worried that Little Ying might mind this whole situation.

Perhaps in Tang Yubbing’s mind, her behavior of getting close to her best friend’s fiancé under the guise of a pretext seemed quite green tea of her.

Of course.

Young Master Sang was more attuned to Little Ying’s intentions.

Rather than say that Tang Yubbing was testing Little Ying’s attitude by pretending to be a boyfriend, it was more accurate to say Little Ying planned to take this opportunity to bring Tang Yubbing home all along.

When they get back, Little Ying probably has already arranged the bridal chamber.

It was just hard to tell how Tang Yubbing would react once she learned the truth. Young Master Sang chuckled.

“What are you laughing at?”

“Laughing at how lucky I am to have ended up with a beauty like Sister Yubbing.”

“Keep going.” Tang Yubbing leaned gently against him, her eyes soft and compliant.

“…I love hearing everything you say.”

In the warm bath, the two sat there, skin to skin, quietly embracing each other.

Enjoying this rare moment of intimacy.

After lunch, Young Master Sang bid farewell to the Tang family and set off on the way home.

Before he left, Tang Father and Tang Mother kept trying to hold him back, hoping he’d stay until the wedding day.

Clearly afraid that he might regret leaving once he returned home.

To be fair, while Tang Father and Tang Mother weren’t the best parents and were quite old-fashioned in their thinking, they cared about Tang Yubbing just like most parents do.

In the carriage, Young Master Sang lazily yawned, resting on Tang Yubbing’s soft lap while fiddling with the Communication Device.

“By the way.”

Tang Yubbing suddenly asked, as if recalling something, “What exactly did you say to Young Master Cao that made him change his attitude so much, cancel the engagement, and regard you so highly?”

Young Master Sang didn’t explain but raised the Communication Device, motioning towards her with his chin.

“Look, it’s this.”

“Original Immortal? What’s that?”

“This is called a mobile game.” Young Master Sang thought for a moment and added, “Or maybe it’s more appropriate to call it a Communication Device game.”

“This is Fusa Pavilion’s latest product, just in its testing phase for a month.”

Tang Yubbing peeked curiously, seeing a scene like an illusion with little people moving around.

“What’s so amazing about this that it can captivate Young Master Cao?”

“If you insist on knowing something amazing… I have no idea.” Young Master Sang waved his hand innocently. “But the fact is, it does manage to mesmerize some people.”

“But no matter what, this thing has helped me immensely.”

“Canceling the engagement is a minor issue; even without this, I have a thousand ways to bring Sister Yubbing home.”

“The real important part,” Young Master Sang shook the Communication Device in his hand, “is that with this, we have successfully acquired the entrance tickets to Tianlang City we’ve been worried about.”

Tang Yubbing still looked puzzled, but in the next second, she realized someone was texting Young Master Sang.

The contact name was Cao Ni Ma.

“Sang-ge, is this team composition okay? I specifically built it around Linghua Fairy as the main DPS.”

“Hey, I can’t beat the next level in the Abyss, could you help me out?”

“Sang-ge, when are you coming to Tianlang City to hang out? After school starts, I’ll have less time to play, so I’m waiting for you to rescue me.”

Seeing Cao Ni Ma being so chummy with Young Master Sang, Tang Yubbing couldn’t help but wink at him with a strange expression.

“Younger brother Sang, it’s my first time hearing your charm ability… it works on men too, huh?”

…Hello, I’m not Nan Tong.

Moreover, I’m also not a charm demon.

This is purely for work; if it weren’t to get closer to Cao Ni Ma, I, Young Master Sang, would never even consider playing “Original Immortal!”

“So, is this thing fun?”

“Very fun.”

“Should I get it too to play with you?”

“…Ahem, I’m really not playing because I enjoy it; it’s all just work.”

Young Master Sang stretched lazily with the Communication Device in hand.

“Just wait.”

“I have a feeling that ‘Original Immortal’ will become the key to unlocking the Holy Kingdom for us.”

Just then, Cao Ni Ma sent another message:

“Sang-ge, right now there are only two or three people playing ‘Original Immortal’ with me. It’s so boring! Except for you, there’s nobody to discuss ‘Original Immortal’ with.”

“What do you think, should I recommend some of my classmates to play together?”

Young Master Sang quickly replied: “Of course.”

“But the teachers still don’t allow us to bring Communication Devices to school, and most of my classmates are opposed to the stuff on the Communication Device, so there’s really no way to promote it…”

“Hey, that just means you lack some skill.”

Young Master Sang immediately taught him with authority: “Let me guide you. First, to recommend something, the most important thing is to not be too obvious; instead, you need to find a natural and appropriate way in.”

“Use simple words to pique their interest first, and wait until they ask you about it.”

“For example. Suppose you’re in a class with your classmates, and your teacher from the National Master’s Office is teaching Yin-Yang and the Five Elements, about how they interact.”

“At that moment, you can yell, ‘Teacher, so you also play “Original Immortal!”’”

“Then the whole class will be curious about what ‘Original Immortal’ is. At that point, act like you made a mistake and don’t mention it again.”

“After class, curious classmates will come to ask you about it. Then you can introduce the game to them.”

“This way, you can attract a group of classmates interested in ‘Original Immortal,’ and the teacher won’t catch on.”

On the other end of the Communication Device, Cao Ni Ma listened intently, even taking notes seriously.

After hearing Young Master Sang’s words, he felt completely in awe.

“Wow! That’s brilliant! Truly deserving of Sang-ge!”

“You should also start with your closer friends who have more free time.” Young Master Sang messaged, “I remember you’re on good terms with the Young Master of the National Master’s Office, right?”

“Yeah, Sang-ge. But the Young Master was injured on a mission recently and is still recovering at the National Master’s Office.”

“Perfect!”

Young Master Sang said, “Your best friend has to stay in bed all day with nothing to do. Isn’t that the perfect time to be bored?”

“He’s got a lot of time to play ‘Original Immortal’ now; he’s the best candidate for you to recommend it to.”

After hearing this, Cao Ni Ma felt even more enlightened. Good things shouldn’t be kept to oneself without telling good friends!

“Great! I’m going to spread the word to promote ‘Original Immortal’ now!”

Turning off the Communication Device, Cao Ni Ma looked around and boldly stepped out of his room into the courtyard.

But before going to promote it to the Young Master, he had to test the waters first.

Arriving in the garden, he saw a servant watering the flowers. When the servant noticed Cao Ni Ma, he respectfully greeted him, “Young Master.”

“Yes. No need for formalities.”

Cao Ni Ma waved his hand, then pretended to be casual and glanced at the servant, asking dramatically, “Ah Fu, what are you up to?”

“Uh? I’m watering the flowers, Young Master.”

“Watering flowers? Isn’t that about combining water and soil?”

“Y-Yes…”

“That’s a crystallization reaction!” Cao Ni Ma suddenly exclaimed, clapping the servant’s shoulder in excitement, “I didn’t realize, Ah Fu.”

“Turns out, you also play “Original Immortal!””

Ah Fu: “…Huh?”
