After Qianxun got in the car, Huo Tianzun leaned over to buckle her seatbelt and asked, "How did the show recording go?"
"Don’t even mention it, Lai Nuannuan’s friend also joined the show, and it looks like they’ve secretly poured money into it. First, they mocked and looked down on me, and when they went on stage, they had this confident demeanor that was simply nauseating!" Qianxun said in disgust.
Hearing this, Huo Tianzun’s face darkened.
However, the next moment, he saw Qianxun’s face shift into a smile, her words tinged with pride: "But am I that easy to deal with? You’ve told me before that no matter how crafty the schemes, they’re useless in the face of absolute strength. And see, she knew the questions in advance but still lost the championship to me. Her money’s gone down the drain."
Unless the Yuan Family would go as far as to redo the Poetry Conference for Yuan Yuan.
But the Poetry Conference is set to air tonight at nine o’clock. Is there enough time?
And after all, the Poetry Conference is a national show, could it really allow the Yuan Family to meddle time and again?
What about the hard-earned reputation of the show? Doesn’t it matter anymore?
Watching the smug look on Qianxun’s face, Huo Tianzun couldn’t hide the affection in his gaze.
"Baby, you’re amazing!" Huo Tianzun said softly.
"That’s right, I’ve practically digested all the books in the City Library!" Qianxun almost wagged a fox tail in front of Huo Tianzun, completely oblivious to the concept of modesty.
Seeing this, Huo Tianzun couldn’t help but curl the corner of his lips and planted a kiss on her cheek, "Sit tight, I’m taking you to have something delicious."
In his mind, however, he made a mental note of the Yuan Family’s bribery of the show’s staff, vowing to settle the score later.
After hearing what he said, Qianxun immediately nodded with a beaming smile: "Mhm!"
However, halfway through their meal, Huo Tianzun received a call from Diao Ling.
"Boss, something terrible has happened, the Demon-locking Array has been broken!" Diao Ling said anxiously.
At these words, Huo Tianzun’s face immediately turned grim, "What happened?"
"A Snake Demon and a Black Bear Spirit, who were recently captured, were in cahoots. We didn’t notice that they brought a talisman capable of breaking the Demon-locking Array. The formation has been damaged, and now all the demons trapped inside have been released, what do we do?" Diao Ling said in panic.
"What’s there to panic about? Activate the S-level alert; no one’s getting away! I’ll be there in ten minutes!" Huo Tianzun instructed in a cold voice.
"Yes, boss!" Diao Ling quickly responded.
After Huo Tianzun ended the call, Qianxun immediately said, "You should hurry back, I can go home alone."
Upon hearing her words, Huo Tianzun hesitated for a moment but then said, "No, baby, come with me."
After all, she was a demon herself. There was no need to keep the existence of the Demon Management Bureau a secret from her.
Upon hearing this, Qianxun broke into a slight smile, "Okay, then let’s hurry."
Although she hadn’t fully recovered her peak strength, she was more than capable of handling mid-level demons.
And she wouldn’t be a burden to Yanzhi; she might even be of help.
Fortunately, the place where Huo Tianzun had taken Qianxun to eat allowed them to leave without worrying about the bill with their premium card.
They left the private room and quickly got into the car.
Huo Tianzun drove rapidly, his destination being his suburban villa in Yanjing City.
"This is where the Demon Management Bureau’s prison is?" Qianxun asked surprisingly.
Yanjing City was where the dragon’s energy of Huaxia converged, and just tens of miles away was the location of the Forbidden City, where Emperors used to work.
And here, so close to the core area of Huaxia, was where the Demon Management Bureau’s prison held captive demons.
